| shwouchk | I have a dell b130 laptop and I'm using the bcm43xx driver, and for some reason it establishes connection and wpa2 encryption to the ap but after a few seconds always looses it... what could cause it? | 00:00 |

| Kein | erm | 00:00 |
| Kein | prappl93: | 00:00 |
| Kein | you will finish the download before bruteforcing works | 00:00 |
| Kein | I guarantee it | 00:00 |
| tantradnya | ruckerz: yes, in current linux kernel I think we have plug-n-play for USB, as soon as u plug it will be detected | 00:00 |
| prappl93 | Kein, it is at 16% | 00:00 |
| Kein | ... | 00:00 |
| Kein | that's irrelevant | 00:00 |
| ruckerz | tantradnya so no more adding persistence to the boot command line | 00:00 |
| prappl93 | Kein, how long does the bruteforcing take? | 00:01 |
| andy_123 | anyone using the latest ati drivers? | 00:01 |
| Kein | A really, really long time | 00:01 |
| prappl93 | Kein, alright | 00:01 |
| endo | i've got a problem with avant window navigator and gutsy, I cannot install the packages from the source because it says is malformed | 00:01 |
| Kein | unless it's like | 00:01 |
| kazol3 | How do I access and make a shortcut for a Samba server? | 00:01 |
| Kein | a two or three character password | 00:01 |
| endo | does anyone know of another rep I could download from? | 00:01 |
| void^ | prappl93: if it is your router, you should know the password. if you forgot the password, you can hard-reset the device and use the factory default password. | 00:01 |
| prappl93 | void^: my dad runs our wireless internet | 00:01 |
| void^ | prappl93: talk to your dad then. | 00:01 |
| endo | http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator does not work and that is the only one I can find to use | 00:01 |
| prappl93 | void^: he would never tell me :P | 00:01 |
| tantradnya | ruckerz: yes, but if that device doesnt have driver/ out of box support e.g some USB WiFi card then u need to first install driver | 00:02 |
| eileen | In rhythmbox, how can I copy all songs from my ipod to my Desktop | 00:02 |
| eileen | I have no encrypted files on my ipod | 00:02 |
| ruckerz | ah | 00:02 |
| prappl93 | Kein: It shouldn't be a really long password | 00:02 |
| Kein | if it's past that | 00:02 |
| Kein | it will take awhile | 00:02 |
| Kein | a six-character password using all possibilities can take hours | 00:02 |
| Kein | longer is even more | 00:02 |
| Kein | ;/ | 00:02 |
| HunterKiller | ok, I managed to fix all of my graphical glitches except for one... when my screen dims when a password prompt comes up or when the logout/shutdown screen comes up it does not dim the whole screen, just the top left two thirds as though it is detecting the wrong resolution. How do I fix this? | 00:02 |
| prappl93 | Kein oh | 00:02 |
| ruckerz | tantradnya is there documentation on the automatic part of it? I mean if I boot with a live cd, and then plug in my drive after it's booted, what happens next to enable persistence? | 00:02 |

| ruckerz | tantradnya but will ubuntu know to save system settings/ home directories on it? | 00:04 |
| ruckerz | tantradnya im following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence?highlight=%28CategoryDocumentation%29 | 00:05 |
| ruckerz | tantradnya and the idea is that i partition the drive making the name of the partition 'casper-rw' | 00:05 |
| Pazy | tantradnya: That command still reports the same message, any idea what could be causing it? | 00:05 |
| ruckerz | tantradnya the problem is that in this document, i had to boot the livecd in persistent mode by appending boot parameters, i was wondering if the current ubuntu is persistent by default, checking all available drives for the 'casper-rw' automatically | 00:06 |
| HunterKiller | could someone help me fix my graphics problem? The dimming effect when the password prompt comes up or the logout/reboot screen comes up doesn't do my whole screen as though it's incorrectly detecting my resolution. I'd google this but I have no idea what terms to use | 00:07 |

| DivideZer | someone know about babylon alternative to ubuntu ? | 00:10 |
| HunterKiller | could someone help me fix my graphics problem? The dimming effect when the password prompt comes up or the logout/reboot screen comes up doesn't do my whole screen as though it's incorrectly detecting my resolution. I'd google this but I have no idea what terms to use | 00:10 |
| ruckerz | the question is do i need to remaster the cd to enable persistence mode on boots | 00:10 |

| HunterKiller | felipe: I have no idea, I don't use the card reader | 00:11 |
| tantradnya | ruckerz: ok now i got what exactly u wanna do, so u want to send them CDs of ubuntu prepared completely for them , right? | 00:11 |
| ruckerz | tantradnya yes! but i want them to keep their settings/home dir on a usb drive | 00:11 |
| HunterKiller | ruckerz: I know of ways to do that | 00:12 |
| TechnoCat | ok i have an nforce with raid, but the live cd detects both harddrives separately | 00:12 |
| felipe_ | HunterKiller: thanks anyway | 00:12 |
| felipe_ | :) | 00:12 |
| tantradnya | thanks HunterKiller , I barely tried that, good u can help rukerz out of that | 00:12 |

| felipe_ | hey guys!!! someone could help me with the xd card reader???? | 00:13 |
| HunterKiller | ruckerz: You need to find a tutorial on how to put your Home directory on a seperate partition. I used one the other day but I don't have the link handy. Also, there's programs that'll take your current ubuntu install and make it into a live CD but I don't know their names. | 00:13 |
| quaal | how do i play a video that is a bin file | 00:13 |
| ruckerz | HunterKiller: what's this persistence mode? | 00:13 |
| TechnoCat | Can anyone help with Raid0 on an Nforce? | 00:13 |
| SidewaysBox | I just installed ubuntu on this computer ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=bph05393&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN#N1374 ) When I go and boot it up, the ubuntu logo shows up and the loader loads but the screen blanks out. | 00:13 |
| HunterKiller | ruckerz: I have no idea | 00:13 |
| ruckerz | HunterKiller: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence?highlight=%28CategoryDocumentation%29 | 00:13 |
| ruckerz | HunterKiller i think this is what i want? | 00:14 |
| ridge-meister | what might have caused "Network Settings" to not work anymore? I had to reinstall Ubuntu because I didn't know how to track down what was causing Network Settings to break. | 00:14 |
| lastelement0 | hey everyone, im having trouble upgrading from feisty to gutsy in ubuntu studio | 00:14 |
| ruckerz | HunterKiller the problem is that I have to enable persistence mode by applying 'persistence' to the boot command line | 00:14 |
| tantradnya | persistance mode is like u everytime boot live CD but ur settings are there,they are persistant | 00:14 |
| SidewaysBox | ridge, was that pointed at me? | 00:14 |
| woodwizzle | Anyone else having trouble getting an esata drive to work? | 00:14 |
| tantradnya | knoppix dist has I think much better support for that kinda job | 00:15 |
| ruckerz | HunterKiller the question is whether or not ubuntu will automagically scan for a 'casper-rw' volume and load the settings if a drive is plugged in | 00:15 |
| lastelement0 | does anyone have ubuntu studio in here? | 00:15 |
| ridge-meister | before, Network Settings worked fine, then today when to dial up to the Internet, all that would happen is a light (that comes on when the modem is making the call) would flash. | 00:15 |
| TechnoCat | So should i just go back to Windows XP since i can't get Raid0 in ubuntu? | 00:15 |
| HunterKiller | ruckerz: I'm a linux newbie, ruckerz. I only knew about the method I described because I happened upon some random tutorials | 00:15 |
| Ademan | hey my uncle gave me one of his old computers and i'm giving it to a friend for christmas, i know there are tools to write random data over the entire hard drive, does anyone know what they're called, iirc there's shred but that works on individual files | 00:15 |
| tantradnya | now dont but had ubuntustudio 7.04, it was really good | 00:15 |
| HunterKiller | could someone help me fix my graphics problem? The dimming effect when the password prompt comes up or the logout/reboot screen comes up doesn't do my whole screen as though it's incorrectly detecting my resolution. I'd google this but I have no idea what terms to use | 00:16 |

| HunterKiller | kazol3 You go to View and 'Show hidden' or somesuch | 00:20 |

| TechnoCat | Nobody can help me with Raid0? | 00:21 |
| bucky1 | tantradnya, are you familiar at all with 64bit windows? when you go into task manager all the processes that are 32bit have a *32 next to their name | 00:21 |

| bucky1 | tantradnya, i want to know if the firefox that is running is 32bit or 64bit | 00:21 |
| HunterKiller | ruckerz: You might be interested in trying Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux as well depending on the needs of the user. I used to use DSL for my basic 'I want to surf the net and play solitaire while away from my home computer' OS. | 00:21 |

| TechnoCat | nvrpunk: I thought the kernal would see it as one harddrive since i was doing it through the bios | 00:22 |
| felipe_ | bucky1: I think that you could find some information there | 00:22 |
| nvrpunk | TechnoCat: so it's going to be a device manager raid, no | 00:22 |
| kazol3 | Why are files hidden from the user?? I don't get why the developers would do such a thing. I can't even see those dirs when I ls /home/<user> | 00:22 |
| tantradnya | felipe_:which card reader u have? | 00:22 |
| crimsun | (ls -a) | 00:23 |
| Evanlec | is the gutsy proposed updates repo generally save to use? | 00:23 |
| nvrpunk | TechnoCat: you need an initramfs, and device mapper | 00:23 |
| crimsun | Evanlec: yes | 00:23 |
| buttercups | Pazy, very easy with a live cd, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=grub | 00:23 |
| Evanlec | crimsun, yea? ok | 00:23 |

| felipe_ | tantradnya: I have one of that all in one models :P in my hp dv 1000 laptop | 00:23 |
| crimsun | Evanlec: be aware of the nature of the "proposed" repo, however. It is not supported like "updates" is. | 00:23 |
| Evanlec | crimsun, cool, its wanting to give me about 42 updates after enabling it, guess i'll go and install them | 00:23 |
| nvrpunk | TechnoCat: google DMraid | 00:23 |
| bucky1 | felipe_, yes thanks, I know I could get it there but i was just using firefox as an example. I would also like to know a way that works for apps that dont list it in the 'about' | 00:24 |
| kazol3 | Colt7r: Is there a way to show *all* files in Ubuntu? | 00:24 |
| HunterKiller | kazol3: I think it's hidden because ubuntu is apparently trying to be as user friendly as possible and there's a lot in the hidden files that can screw things up if you don't know what you're doing. Also, they're easily visible if you want them to be | 00:24 |
| kazol3 | HunterKiller: Maybe I should reboot? | 00:24 |
| felipe_ | bucky1: ok. sorry. :) | 00:24 |
| HunterKiller | kazole: Perhaps. | 00:24 |
| felipe_ | tantradnya: I've just set the 06:09.3 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated FlashMedia Controller device... | 00:25 |

| tannji | can anyone help or point me to a good walk-through for setting up connectivity in a Dual-Boot install? (internet works on XP side) | 00:25 |
| ridge-meister | HunterKiller: that's my problem, finding those "hidden files" that were broken, causing Network Settings to not be able to dial with my modem | 00:25 |
| HunterKiller | tannji: I don't think dual boot has anything to do with internet connectivity | 00:25 |
| kazol3 | ok | 00:25 |

| ub_share | hi, can i get some help whit compizfusion here? | 00:26 |
| HunterKiller | tannji: In a room this busy it's fairly important when addressing someone to use their full name because many clients have highlighting which makes it easier to notice when someone is talking to you | 00:27 |
| Arafangion | HunterKiller: s/many/all decent/ | 00:28 |
| tannji | HunterKiller, is there a shortcut to reply to you, or do I have to type it all out every reply? | 00:28 |
| HunterKiller | tannji: If you're using wireless it could be a driver issue on the linux side. Also, you could try putting your computer in 'roaming' mode which seems to make it so that it sets everything up itself as far as networking goes. I can't help you much beyond this because I'm a newbie | 00:28 |
| Pazy | buttercups: That tutorial didnt work, at the first stage it said it cant find the file | 00:28 |
| shwouchk | I have a dell b130 laptop and I'm using the bcm43xx driver, and for some reason it establishes connection and wpa2 encryption to the ap but after a few seconds always looses it... what could cause it? | 00:28 |
| Evanlec | Question : Where are the session config files located? (the ones that make up the session list at the login window) | 00:28 |
| HunterKiller | tannji: Many clients also have tab completion, meaning if you type 'hunt' and hit tab it should finish my name for you | 00:28 |
| ub_share | i cant get compizfusion to work | 00:28 |
| tannji | HunterKiller... It was initially in roaming, didnt work as that either | 00:28 |

| lastelement0 | what is a good editor with syntax highlighting for ruby | 00:29 |
| Arafangion | vim | 00:30 |
| HunterKiller | ub_share: You should describe your problem. Asking if someone can help you if you give no details is a bit like asking if you can ask a question. | 00:30 |
| edicarlos | what is problem | 00:30 |
| tannji | can anyone help me troubleshoot "roaming mode" then? | 00:30 |
| Evanlec | lastelement0, vim! | 00:30 |

| david-a | patchak: Welkome | 00:30 |
| motleyman | does anyone know if there is a progam for linux that works like the old windows popup messages | 00:30 |
| tannji | patchak: congratz, I did the same today, and like it also | 00:31 |
| anzan | patchak, that's great. | 00:31 |
| HunterKiller | tannji: If roaming mode isn't working and you're absolutely sure that your computer is trying to use the right network adapter (mine is using eth0 for example) then it's probably a driver issue and you should google for something like 'linux + "<name of network card>" | 00:31 |
| motleyman | does anyone know if there is a progam for linux that works like the old windows popup messages where I can send a message to computer on my network | 00:31 |
| patchak | Yeah I think it,s really awesome and looks really good too | 00:31 |
| Arafangion | motleyman: That question makes no sense. Oh, you mean, with "net send"? | 00:31 |
| motleyman | YES EXACTLY | 00:31 |
| Arafangion | motleyman: Ask #samba, maybe. | 00:32 |
| Evanlec | Question : Where are the session config files located? (the ones that make up the session list at the login window) | 00:32 |
| patchak | I have a question... is there any application that does like what winscp works? | 00:32 |
| Arafangion | motleyman: Personally, I'd use a frigging chat program. ;) | 00:32 |
| motleyman | I suppose I could but we don't want the emploeeys chatting online | 00:32 |
| gnomefreak | Colt7r: dont even joke about that (the rm -rf /) | 00:32 |
| HunterKiller | patchak, tannji: I installed linux for the first time a couple weeks ago. I chose Ubuntu because I kept seeing its name on digg.com. As a mother of four who didn't know anything beyond Windows XP I like it. I especially like that I was able to make a login for my kids that had only kids games and no way to access the internet. | 00:32 |
| ridge-meister | why is Ubuntu not installing packages from my dvd? i fired up Add/Remove Programs, and turned off all the repository options, put the dvd in and it's *still* asking to me to connect to the internet. | 00:33 |
| pgan | Arafangion: how about scp? | 00:33 |
| motleyman | and we want to jsend messages to alll computers on the network | 00:33 |
| Arafangion | pgan: That transfers files. | 00:33 |
| patchak | I want to use scp but with a graphical ftp like interfacxe, is there anything like that in ubuntu? | 00:33 |
| HunterKiller | could someone help me fix my graphics problem? The dimming effect when the password prompt comes up or the logout/reboot screen comes up doesn't do my whole screen as though it's incorrectly detecting my resolution. I'd google this but I have no idea what terms to use | 00:33 |
| Arafangion | motleyman: Define "send messages to all computers on the network". | 00:33 |
| pgan | ridge-meister: what does your /etc/apt/sources.list say? | 00:33 |
| TechnoCat | nvrpunk: I'm using dmraid and it is detecting my two harddrives, how come the install shows two harddrives present? | 00:34 |
| ub_share | i have activated compizfusion, but i cant get i to work. i tried for a long time now. i cant get the cube to work, and i cant switch between workspaces. | 00:34 |
| patchak | HunterKiller, yeah I really like the 'simple' aspect of this distro... | 00:34 |

| kazol3 | danny: It's done for security reasons (less chance of hackers). | 00:59 |

| danny | kazol3: wow thats nice to know | 01:00 |

| === crdlb_ is now known as crdlb | ||
| gnomefreak | Hoss: it was a mistake that wasnt ablet o be fixed it should go into /var/crash if you dont file a bug or care why it failed you can remove it | 01:06 |
| Arafangion | Minifig: Yes. | 01:06 |
| RAdams | I can build it for my Ubuntu box, I just wondered if there was already a build out there | 01:06 |
| RAdams | !alien | Minifig | 01:07 |
| ubotu | Minifig: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 01:07 |
| gnomefreak | Minifig: you have to make it a deb than install it | 01:07 |
| Arafangion | Minifig: Might be a stupid thing to do, but indeed, it is possible. | 01:07 |

| HunterKiller | http://tinyurl.com/2qdx5n | 01:20 |
| wildweasel_ | to make a bootable disk do i need to unzip the iso then burn it? | 01:20 |
| LiMaO | LjL: sorry for pasting that bit of text.. i thought that only the dcc request could cause harm. someone gave me more info about that exploit. once again, sorry | 01:21 |
| techzilla | wally69: yea there is this sweet hard crash lockup that happens randomly | 01:21 |
| SpudDogg | wildweasel_, no, just burn the iso | 01:21 |
| techzilla | wally69: dont upgrade untill the next | 01:21 |
| Pelo | Wally69, 7.10 is just a regular upgrade most changes have to do with compiz, the latest gnome, latest gimp, OOo etc, not much that is truly new | 01:21 |
| Pelo | just better | 01:21 |
| techzilla | wally69: they let this release go with alot of bugs | 01:21 |
| mlyon | hello I cant get firefox java applet to load. running edgy, java 1.6.0 installed | 01:22 |
| Wally69 | techzilla: Should I stay at 7.04 then ? | 01:22 |
| Arafangion | Pelo: That's the way an upgrade _should_ be. | 01:22 |
| LjL | LiMaO: it's ok, but be more careful with pasting exploits or you might find yourself k-lined before either of us notices (and no, it doesn't have to be a real dcc request) | 01:22 |
| techzilla | wally69: i WISH i did | 01:22 |
| Pelo | Arafangion, I wasn't complaining | 01:22 |
| === DaLuv is now known as thersdaluv | ||
| HunterKiller | compiz was detecting the wrong resolution so I had to go in and tell it not to autodetect the resolution and I had to tell it my true resolution... is there a way I can do that for the dimming effect thing for the password prompt and the logout/reboot window? | 01:22 |
| Pelo | mlyon, did you install the -plugin package ? | 01:22 |
| Arafangion | Pelo: Didn't mean to imply that you were. :) | 01:22 |
| LiMaO | LjL: yeah, i just read more about it on the net. once again, sorry =) | 01:22 |
| Arafangion | LjL: I once joined a kline channel by accident. ;) | 01:22 |
| mlyon | Pelo_ I think so is that on synaptic? I get the little red X | 01:23 |
| Pelo | HunterKiller, how much memory do you have allocated to yoru video card ? make sure it is at least 32 meg that might help | 01:23 |
| Arafangion | LjL: Must be 5 years ago now, though. | 01:23 |
| pipegeek | So, I'm trying to run artsd on an ubuntu gutsy system. It dies immediately with "cannot create mcop directory", though ~/.mcop exists. Anyone know why? | 01:24 |
| Pelo | mlyon, the java-plugin package is in synaptic yes, should be in green if it is installed | 01:24 |
| LjL | techzilla, yes, i'm using Konversation, a nice client as far as the GUI goes. | 01:24 |

| CanadianMan | after installing mythbuntu i get an error 22 after it tries to load grub. I rebooted into the livecd and have reinstalled grub but it still doesn't work. | 01:25 |
| Pelo | mlyon, the exact package name is sun-java6-plugin | 01:26 |
| CanadianMan | oddly enough though if i boot up with the livecd and choose load from hard disk it does indeed boot into my install | 01:26 |
| bucky1 | Pelo, what other dock apps are there other than avant? | 01:26 |
| CanadianMan | anyone know whats going on? | 01:26 |
| Condoulo | does anybody know what virtual machine runs XP the best? Because I am considering running Ubuntu-full time and installing it on my main HD, but I want to know how well I can run XP on a virtual machine. | 01:26 |
| mlyon | Pelo I have it installed | 01:26 |
| Pelo | bucky1, kdockers , but that is for kde | 01:26 |
| Arafangion | Condoulo: VMware. | 01:27 |
| Pelo | mlyon, that's all I can suggest | 01:27 |
| Condoulo | Arafangion- is there a free version of VMWare? | 01:27 |
| BOO-YaH | Can someone help me? Im having problems with sound... | 01:27 |
| Arafangion | Condoulo: No, but there is a version you can download. | 01:27 |
| Pelo | bucky1, I know there is a gnome dock project in the works but I don't recall the details, I don,t think it is available yet | 01:27 |
| Condoulo | Arafangion- ah. | 01:27 |
| macdo_ | my kubuntu is freezing when I try to use nvidia proprietary driver. Anyone have any ideas? | 01:27 |
| Pelo | !sound | BOO-YaH start with this | 01:27 |
| ubotu | BOO-YaH start with this: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:27 |
| Arafangion | Condoulo: Depending on the apps, you might even be able to run them natively under wine. | 01:27 |
| mjbrooks | Intel Xeon... that's IA64 isn't it? | 01:28 |
| Condoulo | Arafangion- Well I am wanting to run XP so I can make video guides of Ubuntu and XP. to keep the content on my site diverse. | 01:28 |
| bucky1 | Pelo, ok, thanks alot for the info | 01:28 |
| Condoulo | And I haven't had luck with Frontpage 03 on Wine | 01:28 |
| SpudDogg | is it possible to do a 'du -h' from /, but have it only display what's on a specified partition? | 01:29 |
| wildweasel_ | here goes nothing | 01:29 |
| Pelo | CanadianMan, make sure your grub menu.lst points to the correct partition for the kernel remember that the numbering in grub starts at 0 | 01:29 |
| techzilla | cndoulo: the best would be win4lin | 01:29 |
| techzilla | condoulo: the best would be win4lin | 01:29 |
| Arafangion | Condoulo: Heck, some companies run their entire testing and build farm under vmware alone. | 01:29 |
| Arafangion | Condoulo: It's that good. | 01:29 |
| Pelo | CanadianMan, this may also happen if you changed the boot order of your hdds in the bios | 01:29 |
| Condoulo | techzilla- Win4lin is free, correct? | 01:29 |
| techzilla | condoulo: vmware is that acurate, but it 2 slow for my taste | 01:29 |
| alesan | hey, it seems I am not able to see the topgear videos on the BBC website. I installed the mozilla-plugin thing | 01:29 |
| techzilla | condoulo: no its acommercial sapp | 01:30 |
| alesan | the interface seems to be there, I do not know if it's the server or what | 01:30 |
| techzilla | condoulo: you asked "the best" | 01:30 |
| CanadianMan | pelo, grub points to hd0,0 and the os is installed on sda1 would this all be correct? | 01:30 |
| mlyon | hello in firefox I get a red x where the java applet should load. Running edgy | 01:30 |
| alesan | could somebody try and test if it works at his side? | 01:30 |
| Pelo | alesan, remove the totem-mozilla package | 01:30 |
| david-a | macdo_: does this help?: 'Option "NoAGP" "0"' in xorg.conf | 01:30 |
| BOO-YaH | the alsa is selected, the sound board was correctly detected but the sound is mute yet | 01:30 |
| CanadianMan | pelo, i'll check me boot order next | 01:30 |
| Pelo | CanadianMan, yes | 01:30 |
| Condoulo | Is Virtualbox any good? | 01:30 |
| techzilla | condoulo: the most practical would be virtual box | 01:30 |
| Arafangion | Condoulo: It's the current popular underdog. | 01:30 |
| techzilla | condoulo: love it man | 01:30 |
| juano | Condoulo: yes | 01:30 |
| techzilla | condoulo: my favriot | 01:30 |
| techzilla | condoulo: faster then that slow ass vmware | 01:31 |
| Arafangion | Condoulo: For non-windows guests, it's probably just as good. | 01:31 |
| alesan | Pelo: I do not have it installed | 01:31 |
| Arafangion | techzilla: How much RAM do you have? | 01:31 |
| juano | Condoulo: ive tried both, vmware and virtualbox and prefer virtualbox | 01:31 |
| Arafangion | techzilla: Because I'll bet that's the problem you have. | 01:31 |
| Pelo | CanadianMan, you would probably find the supergrub cd usefull to fix your problem | 01:31 |

| mark_1982 | oh | 01:33 |

| Arafangion | techzilla: Hmm, well you should have suficient ram, then. :) | 01:33 |
| mark_1982 | is the one from the ubuntu repositories the latest version? | 01:33 |
| techzilla | Arafangion: its just not the fastest virtualizer | 01:34 |
| techzilla | Arafangion: virtualbox is faster | 01:34 |
| Arafangion | techzilla: I will agree that vmware is probably not the "best" for general OS's, but as far as windows is concerned, it's the best imho. | 01:34 |

| HunterKiller | is there a way to take a screen shot when the password prompt is up when I try to open the package manager? I think that if I could get a screen shot of the problem it'd help me with my problem. | 01:36 |

| HunterKiller | with compiz turned off my dimming problem goes away... but with it turned on the dimming problem happens | 01:42 |
| juano | Pelo: ok, cool thanks | 01:42 |
| dmi3on | clusty: No such files or derectory | 01:42 |
| Arafangion | techzilla: A firm foundation in C++ is a prerequesite to using boost, indeed. | 01:43 |
| graelin | Running Ubuntu with NVidia card and compiz running... pretty sure its a compiz setting/issue, but not sure where to start looking | 01:43 |
| Arafangion | techzilla: I prefer to write my own replacements to anything in boost, imho, because then I actually know how the heck it works. | 01:43 |
| clusty | dmi3on: bleah. no clue | 01:43 |
| clusty | dmi3on: ask the mathematica folks | 01:43 |
| Arafangion | techzilla: Mind you, now that I've done it, if I needed that feature again, I'd use boost. ;) | 01:43 |

| BOO-YaH | OK, now my sound is working, my my sound system is 5.1... Only the front speakers are working | 01:45 |
| Pelo | BOO-YaH, try the forum for further info, search for 5.1 and such, www.ubuntuforums.org | 01:45 |
| david-a | graelin: what problem? | 01:46 |
| HunterKiller | ok, here's a screenshot of an example of my problem: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=8e9189g&s=1 | 01:46 |
| HunterKiller | notice how the dimming effect only fills the top left two thirds? | 01:46 |
| Jangari | are there any good blog writer programs on linux? must support wordpress.com blogs | 01:46 |
| graelin | Fullscreen games dropping to window mode during play and screwing with input sources | 01:46 |
| quantum-flux | helpp.. i just downloaded and installd the ubuntu, i had to use the txt installer.. and now when X starts the screen resolution is totally messed up, and the virtual desktop is bigger than my resolution | 01:47 |
| BOO-YaH | Pelo, thx, i didnt knew this forum yet | 01:47 |
| Arafangion | Jangari: Apparently the latest OpenOffice.org can do such things with an extension. | 01:47 |
| graelin | Seems like maybe a focus issue in Compiz, but idaKnow | 01:47 |
| Jangari | yeah? brilliant | 01:47 |
| gunny01 | I'm trying to boot into gutsy live cd, but when I click on any of the options, the Linux Kernel loads to 3%, freezes and then tells me I have a disk error? I've download Gutsy twice - both from http and bittorent, and I get the same problem. | 01:47 |
| Jangari | does that version shipwith 7.10? | 01:47 |
| HunterKiller | graelin | 01:47 |
| HunterKiller | graelin: was that directed at me? | 01:47 |
| Arafangion | techzilla: Been good talking to you - got a jabber, msn, or yahoo account? | 01:48 |
| quantum-flux | im havin huge problems with gutsy, fiesty worked fine | 01:48 |
| graelin | Nope David-a | 01:48 |
| Pelo | HunterKiller, from what I see, the shading is all over but you seem to have a black section on the uper left, wich is not the same as what i was expecting to see, it looks like you have a windows open in that section that overlaps everything else, not sure what it might be | 01:48 |
| Evanlec | 40GB okay for / filesystem? | 01:49 |
| thomchad | hi | 01:49 |
| HunterKiller | Pelo: No, it's like that whether anything is open or not. I'll take a new screenshot with everything minimized except the password prompt | 01:49 |
| Pelo | HunterKiller, actualy that looks like your terminal windows | 01:49 |
| thomchad | Could anyone please help me with Compiz? | 01:49 |
| quantum-flux | how come the resolutions in gnome->screen resolution are totally different than those in xorg.conf? | 01:50 |
| Jangari | is it screwing with your workspaces, thomchad? | 01:50 |
| david-a | Evanlec: 40GB okay for ubuntu plus approx 10000 mp3s | 01:50 |
| thomchad | jangari no, it used to work fine. Then I rebooted, and it won't work anymore. It's still in the list of active programs when I ps, but it doesn't do anything | 01:51 |
| powerserve | hello there! | 01:51 |
| Evanlec | david-a, lol, well those would go in my /home partition anyway ;p | 01:51 |
| Sidlet | Hiya Evanlec :) | 01:51 |
| Evanlec | hi | 01:51 |
| powerserve | guys i just want to know how to run traceroute | 01:51 |
| HunterKiller | pelow: There is no window open causing that darker section. Trust me. Here's a new one with all windows minimized: http://i1.tinypic.com/87nmbk6.png | 01:51 |
| prappl93 | Does anyone know how to set up a network on Ubuntu that will work over a Windows network? | 01:52 |
| Pelo | HunterKiller, checking , and there is now w in my nick btw | 01:52 |
| HunterKiller | pelo: I know. It was a typo. | 01:52 |
| alesan | Pelo: installing the win32 codecs from mplayer.org helped :) | 01:52 |
| Pelo | prappl93, you use samba I beleive, ask in #networking , they mgiht know better | 01:52 |
| Pelo | alesan, congrats | 01:52 |
| proxie | Hey guys ... Is there a way to list current mounted devices? | 01:53 |
| Jangari | that openoffice extension costs 10 bucks! | 01:53 |
| david-a | proxie: mount | 01:53 |
| prappl93 | Pelo: Thank you, I will find out if they can help | 01:53 |
| proxie | david-a: ha. makes sense. thanks buddy :) | 01:53 |
| Pelo | HunterKiller, that screenshot looks excatly as I would expect it to look with that background and the panels set that way, I don'T see anything wrong with it | 01:53 |
| HunterKiller | pelo: It's happened now twice on two different installs on the same machine. It's a setting wrong somewhere I believe. I think whatever is doing that shading effect is detecting the wrong resolution because Compiz was detecting the wrong resolution and having the same problem with the shift switcher where it'd only fill in the top left two thirds of my screen | 01:53 |
| HunterKiller | Pelo: How do you mean? The top left two thirds of the screen is shaded really dark while the bottom and right sides are just barely shaded. That's not how it's supposed to be. | 01:54 |
| ixian_ | can someone tell me of a torrent program for ubuntu/gnome that is similar to uTorrent? and not ktorrent | 01:55 |
| bruenig | deluge but it is pretty buggy | 01:55 |
| HunterKiller | ixian: I like deluge | 01:55 |
| Sidlet | ixian_: you can run utorrent via wine | 01:55 |
| ixian_ | Sidlet: i know, but I've had some problems with that | 01:56 |
| bruenig | I think the devs may have moved a bit fast because it is not stable at all | 01:56 |
| Pelo | HunterKiller, ok I think I see it, I thought your top pannel was jsut set to the right , no idea what could be the problem, I've never seen anything like it , have you tried different resolutions just to test ? | 01:56 |
| Sidlet | cftorrent < i think, is also pretty fiznilthy. Console based but pretty powerful and an oss solution. | 01:56 |
| HunterKiller | Pelo: No. I will. | 01:56 |
| SkgEfnod | is there any kind of tester for graphic thingies? im not sure does my drivers work properly... cedega's tests goes throught but i have like 1fps on wc3 ._. | 01:57 |
| HunterKiller | Pelo: Changing my resolution fixes the problem but my native resolution is what I want to run at | 01:57 |
| HunterKiller | 1680x1050 | 01:57 |
| prappl93 | Can anyone help me with my networking thing? No one appears to be active in #networking | 01:58 |
| Evanlec | rtorrent is good i hear | 01:58 |
| Sidlet | SkgEfnod: you try glxgears? | 01:58 |
| Pelo | HunterKiller, no idea what the issue might be , try checking in the forum for shading problems at 1680x1050, that's all I can suggest | 01:58 |
| Sidlet | prappl93: whats your issue? | 01:58 |
| david-a | SkgEfnod: glxgears? (not scientifical) | 01:58 |
| juano | prappl93: yep, ive done this many times | 01:58 |
| SkgEfnod | it passes it :/ | 01:58 |
| juano | prappl93: first of all you need samba | 01:58 |
| prappl93 | How can I create a network on Ubuntu 7.10 that will connect to a Windows network also? | 01:58 |
| usrl | How can I change encoding/language settings in Nautilus? I have some files in Japanese that don't display correctly | 01:59 |
| juano | prappl93: so go through synaptic and install samba | 01:59 |
| HunterKiller | Pelo: Thanks, will do. | 01:59 |
| Sidlet | SkgEfnod: you check the transgaming wiki for wc3? There is usually game specific info there on what people have doen to improve fps and what not | 01:59 |
| Sidlet | prappl93: thats called samba | 01:59 |
| Sidlet | prappl93: and there are a few thousand tutorials for how to setup samba on gutsy if you check google. | 01:59 |
| juano | prappl93: install samba and smb-client | 01:59 |
| HunterKiller | Pelo: I don't see any mention of a problem at my specific resolution | 01:59 |
| Jangari | that openoffice extension has terrible reviews, such as you needing internet explorer to access the download url, not working with oo 2.3, and not supporting tags, | 01:59 |
| Jangari | so, anyone know of a linux-supported blog writer that posts to wordpress.com blogs? | 02:00 |
| HunterKiller | Does anyone know what is wrong with my system? The top left two thirds of my screen is dimmed when the password prompt or log out screen pops up but leaves the bototm and right sides only barely dimmed. Here's a pic of the problem: http://i1.tinypic.com/87nmbk6.png | 02:00 |
| overcl0ck | How do I remome for complet kde desktop? I tryed aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop but it gave me some errors in gdm configuration | 02:01 |
| prappl93 | How do I get Samba? And how do I get smb-client? | 02:01 |
| usrl | How can I change encoding/language settings in Nautilus? I have some files in Japanese that don't display correctly (sorry if I already sent this, network troubles) | 02:01 |
| sirdork | Can I get a little help with a external USB HDD. when I connect it the computer automaticly detects it and mounts it but I can't write to it | 02:01 |
| Pelo | HunterKiller, search for shading on shutdown, or similar, thats all I can suggest | 02:01 |
| Pelo | gottago, later folks | 02:02 |
| prappl93 | sirdork: is it new? | 02:02 |
| sirdork | I just booted this os today | 02:02 |
| sirdork | 7.04 | 02:03 |
| Ezradane`Larran | Hiya people... Can anyone help me... I have just installed Ubuntu today, and my mic won't work | 02:03 |
| prappl93 | sirdork: upgrade to 7.10 | 02:03 |
| overcl0ck | How do I remove for complet kde desktop? I tryed aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop but it gave me some errors in gdm configuration | 02:03 |
| Ezradane`Larran | Any idea what the problem could be? | 02:03 |
| juano | prappl93: through synaptic | 02:03 |
| sirdork | drive isn't new it has ntfs and info on it already | 02:03 |
| sfears | make sure the volume is turned up in the sounds control panel for the microphone | 02:03 |
| prappl93 | sirdork: That is probably it, I don't know though | 02:03 |
| quantum-flux | whats the best p2p like shareaza for linux | 02:04 |
| sirdork | also sound doesn't work and it won't eject a cd | 02:04 |
| loxley_ | Ezradane`Larran: might need to configure alsa | 02:04 |
| Ezradane`Larran | How do I do that? | 02:04 |
| Jangari | alright, this is the first time i've had to do this, but how do you kill a process? | 02:04 |
| usrl | How can I change encoding/language settings in Nautilus? I have some files in Japanese that don't display correctly. | 02:05 |
| Jangari | it's a rather good indictment of linux that i haven't had a process freeze so far | 02:05 |
| sfears | killall <name of process> ? | 02:05 |
| ajmorris_ | Jangari: in a terminal, type sudo pkill <process> | 02:05 |
| thomchad | jangari: kill <process number> | 02:05 |
| Jangari | okay, how do i list processes? | 02:05 |
| thomchad | ps | 02:05 |
| ajmorris_ | ps -A | 02:05 |
| prappl93 | juano: I need samba and smdclient? | 02:05 |
| ajmorris_ | sfears: we usually avoid telling users to use killall, we prefer pkill | 02:05 |
| david-a | overcl0ck: if you install whatever-desktop instead, will it remove kubuntu-desktop for you then? (not tested) | 02:05 |
| zaxius | anyone familiar with acls? | 02:06 |
| prappl93 | juano: do they have the official Ubuntu logo next to them? | 02:06 |
| sfears | and the pid is the process # ? | 02:06 |
| emma | when i try to start firefox it tells me that it's already running and i must terminate that process or else restart my computer. | 02:06 |
| juano | prappl93: samba and smbclient yes | 02:06 |
| emma | I went to top to see if I can find it but it's not being listed | 02:06 |
| juano | prappl93: i dont know about the logo | 02:07 |
| zaxius | emma: killall firefox-bin | 02:07 |
| emma | any ideas how i can find the pid of that process to kill it? | 02:07 |
| emma | okay.. | 02:07 |
| mjbrooks | are all Xeons EM64T? | 02:07 |
| thomchad | Does anyone know how to mount an AFS space? | 02:07 |
| Evanlec | not all | 02:07 |
| Jangari | thanks thomchad | 02:07 |
| Evanlec | only newer ones i believe | 02:07 |
| Jangari | worked like a charm | 02:07 |
| wiskey | ps aux | grep <process> | 02:07 |
| prappl93 | Juano: now what? I have Samba and smdclient selected and hit apply | 02:07 |
| david-a | emma: or pkill firefox-bin | 02:07 |
| mjbrooks | Evanlec, is there a way to check? | 02:07 |
| Jangari | i need to memorise all these terminal commands | 02:07 |
| Ezradane`Larran | How do I edit the alsa? | 02:07 |
| overcl0ck | david-a, so how do I remove kde completly? | 02:07 |
| emma | it worked. You guys are good. | 02:07 |
| zaxius | david-a: what's the difference between killall and pkill? | 02:08 |
| coldx | #gathering | 02:08 |
| Jangari | and kill generally | 02:08 |
| juano | prappl93: ok after they install, go to /etc/samba | 02:08 |
| Zombie | How do I check the remaining lease time on a DHCP lease on a lLnux box? | 02:08 |
| mjbrooks | Evanlec, I was just handed a Dell PE with FC3 on it and they tole me to make it new, so naturally I'm going ubuntu ;) | 02:08 |
| Zombie | How do I check the remaining lease time on a DHCP lease on a Linux box? | 02:08 |
| Zombie | Like. | 02:08 |
| juano | prappl93: look for a smb.conf.default if there is any | 02:08 |
| danny | can somebody help me theres a strange line in the avant- window-manager dock | 02:08 |
| Zombie | How much time before said DHCP lease expires. | 02:08 |
| emma | Yeah what's the difference between killall and pkill ? | 02:08 |
| crdlb | zaxius: on linux, not much. However, on some unix systems killall means kill *all* processes | 02:08 |
| Evanlec | mjbrooks, its probly 64bit then | 02:08 |
| zaxius | ah | 02:09 |
| zaxius | emma: no passing my questions off as your own | 02:09 |
| emma | killall would shut down every process going on ? | 02:09 |
| emma | lol zaxius | 02:09 |
| loxley_ | Ezradane`Larran: alsaconf and alsamixer. havent done it in a while though, thing might have changed | 02:09 |
| david-a | zaxius: i dont know, i use pkill | 02:09 |
| emma | zaxius - I noticed no one was answering for a while so I thought I could double our chances :) | 02:09 |
| Jangari | ut if you specify a process with a name or number, presumably it'd only ill that process | 02:09 |
| prappl93 | juano: I found it, now what? | 02:09 |
| zaxius | emma: good work, now find out about my acl question | 02:09 |
| Jangari | however, the command killall * might fvck you up a bit | 02:10 |
| Ezradane`Larran | How do I get to them, loxley_? | 02:10 |
| Jangari | guesing | 02:10 |
| juano | prappl93: ok, then do this: alt + f2, then type gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf.default | 02:10 |
| emma | I never saw your acl question. What was it? | 02:10 |
| zaxius | and i'm not talking about the kind you tear | 02:10 |
| Ezradane`Larran | And then how do I edit them? | 02:10 |
| ajmorris_ | killall is considered 'less stable' and on some systems is the last proccess for shutting down. Also killall kills all processes in the tree for what you are killing | 02:10 |
| Jangari | before you point it out, sorry for swearing | 02:10 |
| zaxius | how do you remove one for a particular user? | 02:10 |
| loxley_ | Ezradane`Larran: console. | 02:10 |
| ajmorris_ | !ohmy | jangari | 02:10 |
| ubotu | jangari: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:10 |

| Jangari | thanks* | 02:10 |
| ajmorris_ | hehe, i didnt even notice you swear :P | 02:11 |
| prappl93 | Juano: I see samba.conf, but not samba.conf.default | 02:11 |
| juano | with that, you are editing the file with root permissions, the file will be full of stuff, dont worry ill tell you what u need to put in it | 02:11 |
| zaxius | is pkill present on all linux/solaris implementations? | 02:11 |
| Jangari | i use the latin orthography :P | 02:11 |
| juano | prappl93: smb.conf ? | 02:11 |
| zaxius | fvck heh | 02:11 |
| prappl93 | juano: yes | 02:11 |
| Jangari | exactly | 02:11 |
| Ezradane`Larran | loxley_ I have no console, only a terminal | 02:11 |
| Ezradane`Larran | Is that it/ | 02:11 |
| Ezradane`Larran | *? | 02:11 |
| juano | prappl93: ok, then do this: alt + f2, then type gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf | 02:11 |
| Jangari | invented that | 02:11 |
| ajmorris_ | zaxius: yes pkill is on all linux/solaris impelmentations | 02:11 |
| Jangari | way back when on ircq.net | 02:11 |
| prappl93 | juano: I did that, now what | 02:11 |
| zaxius | i'll start using that then | 02:11 |
| prappl93 | juano: it opened a text thing | 02:11 |
| zaxius | emma: you're slacking | 02:11 |

| racarter | how do i change my locale? | 02:12 |

| permanoia | what is the --geometry format for gnome-terminal? | 02:12 |
| juano | and add this line: netbios name = mylinuxboxname | 02:12 |
| Jangari | will gedit post to a blog?! | 02:12 |
| mjbrooks | Evanlec, are there processor flags unique to EM64T? | 02:13 |
| zaxius | jangari: you said writer not poster :) | 02:13 |
| prappl93 | juano: what? | 02:13 |
| Jangari | pfft | 02:13 |
| zaxius | is there another channel for more general unix questions than just ubuntu? | 02:13 |
| david-a | overcl0ck: i once changed f ubuntu-desktop to xubuntu-desktop, i dont remember exactly how, but did it in synaptic. the result was not a perfect switch, later reinstalled xubuntu from scratch. | 02:13 |
| Evanlec | mjbrooks, do cat /proc/cpuinfo | 02:13 |
| juano | prappl93: so, where it sais server string comment that line out with a # at the beggining | 02:13 |
| mjbrooks | Evanlec, I did that's why I was asking ;) | 02:13 |
| prappl93 | juano: where is this at?1 | 02:13 |
| emma | zaxius - I casually set you up with an opportunity to ask the question again :) | 02:13 |
| zaxius | emma: you're a great wingman | 02:14 |
| juano | prappl93: its at the beggining | 02:14 |
| ajmorris_ | racarter: i believe by adding your timezone to .profile in your home directory, e.g : | 02:14 |
| ajmorris_ | TZ='Australia/Melbourne'; export TZ | 02:14 |
| ajmorris_ | 02:14 | |
| Evanlec | mjbrooks, should say somethin like x86_64 | 02:14 |
| * emma wing-girl | 02:14 | |
| Evanlec | mjbrooks, or em64t | 02:14 |
| prappl93 | juano: okay, I see the server string line | 02:14 |
| zaxius | i call all girls wingmen | 02:14 |
| juano | prappl93: ok comment that out | 02:14 |
| emma | okies lol | 02:14 |
| mjbrooks | Evanlec, nope.. guess not | 02:14 |
| zaxius | or dudes | 02:14 |
| juano | prappl93: just put a # at the beggining | 02:14 |
| prappl93 | juano: with a hash right? | 02:14 |
| juano | prappl93: yea | 02:14 |
| prappl93 | juano: okay, now what? | 02:14 |
| mjbrooks | Evanlec, wasn't sure if I was missing something | 02:15 |
| mjbrooks | Evanlec, thanks | 02:15 |
| quantum-flux | is it possible to run 2 different moniters out of ONE video card? (ie: HDMI out and a standard moniter) | 02:15 |
| juano | prappl93: add this line: netbios name = <mylinuxpcname> | 02:15 |
| juano | prappl93: dont put the <> | 02:15 |
| prappl93 | juano: add this where? | 02:15 |
| juano | prappl93: right after the line you commented | 02:15 |
| ajmorris_ | quantum-flux: yes, enable twinview in your xorg.conf file | 02:15 |
| Jangari | i'm so glad my compiz is working, eyecandy really makes it :P | 02:15 |

| zaxius | jangari: that's why i installed ubuntu heh | 02:16 |
| danny | Jangari: in compiz | 02:16 |
| danny | ok | 02:16 |
| prappl93 | jauno: now what | 02:16 |
| prappl93 | Juano: now what | 02:16 |
| quantum-flux | twinview ok ima try now.. thx for tip | 02:16 |
| Jangari | synaptic > search for compiz, it's the one with the gnome foot as a icon | 02:16 |
| juano | prappl93: ok, now scroll down a bit till you find a line that sais wins support = no , which is commented | 02:16 |
| prappl93 | juano: uncomment and change no to yes? | 02:17 |
| Jangari | it's damn buggy, but when i cam back this morning it worked perfectly | 02:17 |
| Jangari | came* | 02:17 |
| Jangari | i think it was buggy because i was running it simultaneously with the other compiz manager | 02:17 |
| ajmorris_ | Jangari: not as buggy as it used to be, i got it when it first came compiz fusion of git ;) hardly worked back then :P | 02:17 |
| shadowhywind | how would one go about updateing the time in the console? | 02:17 |
| zaxius | shadowhywind: man date | 02:18 |
| juano | prappl93: your a fast learner ;) | 02:18 |
| juano | prappl93: yep | 02:18 |
| juano | prappl93: now you will have to add a share entry or uncomment homes dir way at the end of the file | 02:18 |
| Jangari | well surprisingly, the desktop effects in feisty, the 'experimental' ones, worked fine compared with out-of-the-box gutsy | 02:18 |
| zaxius | ja i'm running feisty and it's so smooth | 02:18 |
| Jangari | no wait, were they 7.04? | 02:18 |
| Jangari | maybethey were gutsy after all | 02:18 |
| dope | how do i format a floppy disc | 02:19 |
| Sidlet | zaxius: you use 7.10 yet? | 02:19 |
| prappl93 | juano: what will the homes dir line look like? | 02:19 |
| juano | prappl93: where it sais [homes] | 02:19 |
| juano | prappl93: below theres some lines with options | 02:19 |
| axjv | Does anyone know where the VLC media player scalable icon is located? | 02:19 |
| zaxius | sidlet no | 02:19 |
| rapid | dope: mke2fs /dev/fd0 | 02:19 |
| ajmorris_ | axjv: /usr/share/icons? | 02:19 |
| prappl93 | juano: okay, which do I uncomment? | 02:20 |
| danny | Jangari: Do you know how to enable a desktop cube in compiz on ubuntu 7.10? | 02:20 |
| juano | prappl93: there you have to put writeable = yes , read only = no, browseable = yes | 02:20 |
| Jangari | uncomment? | 02:20 |
| axjv | ajmorris_: Err, where exactly? I tried looking there. | 02:20 |
| Jangari | is that a word? | 02:20 |
| juano | prappl93: all in seperate lines | 02:20 |
| juano | prappl93: the rest is to be commented | 02:20 |
| eltux | When I try to select one of the visual effects options it says the composite extension is not available | 02:20 |
| eltux | so now what? | 02:20 |
| ajmorris_ | axjv: it depends on your theme, but there is a scalable folder in there | 02:20 |
| danny | eltux: what graphics card you have? | 02:20 |
| prappl93 | juano: uncomment browseable and change to yes... and add writeable and read only? | 02:20 |
| Ezradane`Larran | How do I edit alsamixer on the terminal? It is just like a page of text | 02:20 |
| Jangari | danny, after you have installed the dl desktop settings interface, system > preferences > gl desktop, | 02:21 |
| Jangari | go to 'workspaces, | 02:21 |
| Jangari | enable 'cube and rotate' | 02:21 |
| juano | prappl93: yep just as i put you before ^^ | 02:21 |
| Jangari | and then there are options like 'inside a cube' versus outside, and render an image behind it | 02:21 |
| eltux | danny: ATI Radeon X1300 XGE | 02:21 |
| eltux | :) | 02:21 |
| ajmorris_ | Ezradane`Larran: run alsamixer, it is a 'text' volume mixer where you can turn your vol up/down | 02:21 |
| Jangari | but... | 02:21 |
| ajmorris_ | *it is | 02:21 |
| prappl93 | juano: save and that is it? | 02:21 |
| Jangari | it won't do that extrapolation thing that beryl does | 02:21 |
| emma | sirdork did someone answer your question about writing to the usb hdd? | 02:22 |
| juano | prappl93: you can add extra dirs for file-sharing, but well get back to it soon, no wait | 02:22 |
| axjv | ajmorris_: The thing is, vlc isn't default installed on ubuntu, so the themes don't come with a vlc icon. | 02:22 |
| Jangari | that takes too much cpu'age | 02:22 |
| juano | prappl93: now scroll up , and find a line that sais security = user | 02:22 |
| danny | eltux: go to synaptic package manager and install xorg | 02:22 |
| ajmorris_ | axjv: no, but when vlc is installed, it puts it into a theme folder | 02:22 |
| zaxius | emma fine ignore me | 02:22 |
| eltux | danny: ok | 02:22 |
| juano | prappl93: uncomment that line | 02:22 |
| juano | prappl93: make sure it sais security = user | 02:22 |
| emma | I really never ignore anyone :) | 02:22 |
| sirdork | emma no they just said upgrade to 7.10 | 02:22 |
| axjv | ajmorris_: Well, would it be located in ~/.icons because I have a custom icon theme? | 02:22 |
| danny | eltux: then restart your computer | 02:23 |
| zaxius | play hard to get | 02:23 |
| emma | sirdork - Oh. I'm not sure. I'm not sure if this could work either but you might try editing /etc/fstab | 02:23 |
| prappl93 | juano: alright, now what | 02:23 |
| Jangari | don't you just have to log out and log back in under a new session? | 02:23 |
| Jangari | xorg? | 02:23 |
| offipso | Am I alone in thinking that gnome-screensaver removing access to each screensaver's preferences is an absolutely abhorrent design decision? Ubuntu should ditch it and ship with xscreensaver or some alternative | 02:23 |
| juano | prappl93: ok, once you did all that , save & exit | 02:23 |
| ajmorris_ | axjv: dont think so, it should go into, hicolor or something in /usr/share/icons | 02:23 |
| prappl93 | juano: alright, thanks | 02:23 |
| juano | prappl93: make sure that file is named smb.conf | 02:23 |
| juano | prappl93: now | 02:23 |
| prappl93 | juano: it should work right? | 02:23 |
| juano | prappl93: nope | 02:23 |
| eltux | danny: its already there | 02:24 |
| Jangari | offipso: no, you're not alone, i want to change the images shown on the cosmos thing, can't find the directory | 02:24 |
| juano | prappl93: theres more | 02:24 |
| prappl93 | juano: now what | 02:24 |
| ajmorris_ | axjv: if you open synaptic and scroll down to vlc, in the installed files section, it will tell you where the icon is located | 02:24 |
| danny | eltux: do you have the restricted driver running for it | 02:24 |
| eltux | danny: yes | 02:24 |
| offipso | Jangari: Yeah, I had that exact same problem | 02:24 |
| zaxius | thanks guys | 02:24 |
| juano | prappl93: you need to add a user to your smbpasswd file | 02:24 |
| danny | eltux: hmm | 02:24 |
| eltux | danny: let me try rebooting | 02:24 |
| emma | sirdork, you might see something in /etc/fstab that looks something like this: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto rw,noauto,user,sync 0 0 | 02:24 |
| Jangari | so, does anyone know the directory that gnome-screensaver>cosmos runs off? | 02:24 |
| danny | eltux: yes | 02:24 |
| prappl93 | juano: where is that | 02:24 |
| offipso | Jnagari: I wrote a script that runs once a day and downloads the Astronomy Picture of the Day, then wanted the screensaver to look in that directory | 02:24 |
| Jangari | yeah right | 02:25 |
| juano | prappl93: type this sudo smbpasswd <yourusername> | 02:25 |
| offipso | Jangari: It's in, hang on a sec... | 02:25 |
| prappl93 | juano: type that in what? | 02:25 |
| emma | sirdork, find the entry for the drive that is being mounted and then make sure that it has that rw in there. | 02:25 |
| Jangari | i've just got tons of wicked astronomy shots | 02:25 |
| danny | Jangari: what is the name again gl desktop | 02:25 |
| juano | prappl93: it will prompt for password | 02:25 |
| Ezradane`Larran | ajmorris_ how do I edit it then? | 02:25 |
| sirdork | emma that doesn't contain anything relating to my usb drive only the hdd and cdrom | 02:25 |
| jmalobicky | anyone use vmware server on 7.10? | 02:25 |
| juano | prappl93: type in a pass you wish | 02:25 |
| Jangari | plus others, no reason it only has to be cosmologicalshots | 02:25 |
| axjv | ajmorris_: Thanks, it was /usr/share/vlc/vlc48x48.ico | 02:25 |
| Jangari | danny: GL Desktop | 02:25 |
| danny | Jangari: is it in synaptic package manager | 02:25 |
| Jangari | that's it | 02:25 |
| Jangari | yes | 02:25 |
| emma | the usb drive has to have something in there because that's the file that keeps track of things that get mounted | 02:25 |
| juano | prappl93: any errors ? or all ok ? | 02:25 |
| offipso | Jangari: Try /usr/share/applications/screensavers/glslideshow.desktop | 02:25 |
| Jangari | it'll show up if you search for compiz | 02:25 |
| prappl93 | juano: Ok | 02:26 |
| Jangari | somewhere in there anyway | 02:26 |
| offipso | Jangari: If you edit that file you can put options in the exec=glslideshow line, and there might be one called --location=~/yourdirectory | 02:26 |
| Jangari | maybe just try searching for gl desktop | 02:26 |
| juano | prappl93: ok, it didnt say "failed to modify bla bla" right ? | 02:26 |
| prappl93 | juano: right | 02:26 |
| ajmorris_ | Ezradane`Larran: you press the arrow keys up and down, it moves the volume up and down, and press left/right arrow keys to change from master to PCM, etc... | 02:26 |
| danny | Jangari: i only get Glib | 02:26 |
| faintofhearts | What's the command for enabling direct rendering? | 02:26 |
| Jangari | thanks, offipso, i'll have a look | 02:26 |
| gmw | Lost my trash icon. I know it's my fault. I remember hiding it at some point. But I can't remember how to get it back on desktop. | 02:26 |
| juano | prappl93: upsy daysy i forgot one thing | 02:26 |
| prappl93 | juano: okay, what? | 02:26 |
| Jangari | hang on danny, i'm taking a look | 02:26 |
| juano | prappl93: do gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf | 02:27 |
| danny | Jangari: thanks you help is appreciated | 02:27 |
| ajmorris_ | faintofhearts: nvidia? | 02:27 |
| juano | prappl93: and go to the line that sais workgroup = <something> | 02:27 |
| faintofhearts | ati | 02:27 |
| danny | eltux: go to restricted drivers | 02:27 |
| prappl93 | juano: yes? | 02:27 |
| offipso | Jangari: however, the only way I was able to get it to work satisfactorily (I don't like having to run xscreensvaer-demo to get the properties and then copying it in by hand) is to remove gnome-screensaver and install xscreensaver | 02:27 |
| eltux | doug: nope that didn't do it :( I dunno what's wrong this time. It worked last time | 02:27 |
| juano | prappl93: there you have to put workgroup = <yourwindowsworkgroup> | 02:27 |
| prappl93 | juano: it was already like that | 02:27 |
| faintofhearts | nevermind | 02:28 |
| faintofhearts | I got it. | 02:28 |
| danny | eltux: go to restricted drivers | 02:28 |
| prappl93 | juano: is that it? | 02:28 |
| eltux | danny: ok | 02:28 |
| Jangari | ain't there just a directory where the images are located and the screensaver just takes a random image? | 02:28 |
| juano | prappl93: if your workgroup is there correctly.. ok | 02:28 |
| danny | eltux: is the driver for you ati enabled? | 02:28 |
| Jangari | honestly, black boxes man! | 02:28 |
| juano | save & exit | 02:28 |
| badkitty | hello maytes | 02:28 |
| prappl93 | juano: that all? | 02:28 |
| offipso | I think the gnome developers are stuck up morons for forcing those sorts of design flaws on people in the name of new features..like when they had spatial nautilus mode and didn't have an obvious way to turn it off, nor information about how to find the buried option in some editor | 02:28 |
| eltux | danny: yes | 02:28 |
| juano | prappl93: ok, now do this | 02:28 |
| danny | eltux: reinstall xorg | 02:28 |
| juano | prappl93: sudo smbd restart | 02:28 |
| Ezradane`Larran | ajmorris_ : I am basically trying to get my mic working... Was told to do that, but it has made no difference. Any other advice? | 02:28 |
| quantum-flux | whats the bigest BT website now? | 02:28 |
| juano | prappl93: and nmbd restart | 02:29 |
| juano | prappl93: and sudo nmbd restart | 02:29 |
| prappl93 | juano: alright, now what | 02:29 |
| danny | eltux: go to synaptic package manager remark for reinstallion | 02:29 |
| juano | prappl93: now it should be all good | 02:29 |
| gmw | Any suggestions for the lost/moved trash? | 02:29 |
| prappl93 | juano: alright | 02:29 |
| Jangari | what even is nautilus? | 02:29 |
| juano | prappl93: go to places , network | 02:29 |
| eltux | danny: ok. | 02:29 |
| Jangari | never used it | 02:29 |
| juano | prappl93: you should see your win machine there | 02:29 |
| juano | and from windows they should see you | 02:29 |
| danny | Jangari: did you find anything about gl desktop ? | 02:29 |
| prappl93 | Juano: I do see the network, there are comps on there, but none are showing unless my bro turned his off | 02:30 |
| Jangari | yeah danny, take a look and see if you already have installed "gnome-compiz-manager" | 02:30 |
| juano | prappl93: sorry ? | 02:30 |
| Evanlec | Can anyone suggest a good CLI app for AVI to DVD conversion?? | 02:30 |
| prappl93 | juano: his comp is on but not showing up, and it is in the workgroup | 02:30 |
| ajmorris_ | Ezradane`Larran: hmm, mic, if it is turned all the way up in the int mic section in alsamixer, pastebin the output of sudo lspci | 02:30 |
| juano | prappl93: he have a windows pc ? | 02:30 |

| juano | prappl93: mm it should appear, but you see all other windows pcs ? | 02:31 |
| Jangari | oh, then that must not be it | 02:31 |
| eltux | danny: still giving me that error | 02:31 |
| prappl93 | juano: his is the only one on right now on the network | 02:32 |

| danny | eltux: ok open synaptic package manager | 02:33 |
| prappl93 | juano: why his pc name? that has nothing to do with network | 02:33 |
| juano | prappl93: he has to be sharing a folder at least for this to work | 02:33 |
| Jangari | and things'll appear fvcked up when you 'enable effects' or whatever it's called' | 02:33 |
| danny | eltux: tell me if these files are installed | 02:33 |
| AgentF | fvcked? | 02:33 |
| juano | prappl93: what ? | 02:33 |
| prappl93 | juano: why his PC name? | 02:33 |

| prappl93 | juano: I don't think he is sharing anything so nevermind | 02:35 |
| juano | prappl93: lol | 02:35 |

| Rob423 | im trying to setup ubuntu... running VMware on my XP system | 02:52 |
| debotime123 | It's better huh? | 02:52 |
| Rob423 | i have cable modem... i can't get internet access | 02:52 |
| jmalobicky | xp is the host or guest | 02:52 |
| Rob423 | now sure which settings to pick on the network wizard | 02:52 |
| Jangari | i think that's a bit more sophisticated in terms of rendering than gl desktop will allow | 02:52 |
| Rob423 | xp is the main computer, im running VMware within my XP | 02:52 |
| Loki2010 | kl4m_, nothing went to a command prompt, something must have gone off while it was scanning the mirror I'll try to install it again | 02:53 |
| jmalobicky | i usually use bridges if you have a router for internet | 02:53 |
| debotime123 | Microsofties, Do you think it's better? | 02:53 |
| kjkrum | -ArthurArchnix: thanks for the link. i think the problem is deeper than that. my usb headset isn't even being detected. i think i need to restart usb/hotplug system. | 02:53 |
| crdlb | frost0: you could make a script that runs metacity --replace & yourapp; compiz --replace | 02:53 |
| Rob423 | yea i have a basic router setup on my cable modem | 02:53 |
| jmalobicky | use bridged connection | 02:53 |
| xen_caapn | crdlb , opengl works now. you're a beast | 02:53 |
| danny | Jangari: i seen ppl do it on youtube | 02:53 |
| Rob423 | i selected the bridged connection | 02:53 |
| Jangari | but you can do funky sh|t like hold alt and scroll button up ordown to changethe transparency of a window, | 02:53 |
| Rob423 | do i need to restart the router before i can gain access? | 02:53 |
| Jangari | i know, it's beryl, | 02:53 |
| jmalobicky | no but install vmware tools | 02:53 |
| Jangari | it's a bit over the top for my tastes | 02:53 |
| Microsofties | debotime123, well the beryl project has merged with compiz. beryl is no longer developed so bugs etc...you deal with yourself | 02:54 |
| Rob423 | oh that might be the problem that wasn't installed | 02:54 |
| frost0 | it is for a game..and i can run custom .cfg's so if i add that code to a custom script..it might work? | 02:54 |
| Rob423 | once i get that installed i will give ya a holler. | 02:54 |
| Microsofties | debotime123, and yea its way better | 02:54 |
| debotime123 | thanks ;) | 02:54 |
| Jangari | danny, the short answer is: i don't know nor care how to get most of those effects you saw on youtube | 02:54 |
| Rob423 | got a copy of Ubuntu 7 downloading | 02:54 |
| Rob423 | it's almost done, i'll install then install the tools | 02:54 |
| Kl4m_ | Loki2010: There's no command prompt but a log of installer actions | 02:55 |
| Jangari | but the zooming out effect is pretty cool | 02:55 |
| frost0 | crdlb, it is for a game..and i can run custom .cfg's so if i add that code to a custom script..it might work? | 02:55 |
| John_5 | compiz/beryl is just a waste of valuable CPU | 02:55 |
| danny | Jangari: ok | 02:55 |
| Rob423 | i had an issue installing the tools last time because the CD drive was LOCKED or something | 02:55 |
| Rob423 | i wasn't able to install the .pl file or whatever it was | 02:55 |
| mosibfu | John_5: beryl runs on 3d card, not on cpu | 02:55 |
| linxuz3r | anyayone uses rhythmbox here??????????????????????????????????? | 02:55 |
| John_5 | you got me there >_< | 02:55 |
| Jangari | by all means try the other compiz interface, i got rid of it, because it was heavily buggy, and i couldn't see where to access the keyboard shortcuts or anything for any of the effects, | 02:55 |
| John_5 | I still don't use it as I find things run alot faster without it | 02:55 |
| jmalobicky | Rob423, make sure the drive is set to connect on startup for the first few times, unless you want to manually connect it | 02:56 |
| Jangari | but it has a lot more rendering effects | 02:56 |
| crdlb | frost0: you can put anything between the "metacity --replace &" and the "compiz --replace" | 02:56 |
| sizzam | how do you list resolutions that your video card/monitor will support? | 02:56 |
| Jangari | i just can't remember what it's called | 02:56 |
| jmalobicky | i usually dont keep the cd drive connected | 02:56 |
| mosibfu | John_5: i run beryl, doesnt matter at all with speed, but with beryl it feels more natural to me | 02:56 |
| frost0 | crdlb, do i have to put like exec or something in front of it? | 02:57 |
| crdlb | frost0: nope | 02:57 |
| acalbaza | anyone know of a good mysql ui? | 02:57 |
| crdlb | frost0: for cleanness use three separate lines, 1) metacity --replace & 2) whatever you want 3) compiz --replace | 02:57 |
| jmalobicky | acalbaza, i use xampp | 02:58 |
| jmalobicky | to do all for mysql, but phpmyadmin is the best | 02:58 |
| stickyicky | how do i grep for "(" ? | 02:58 |
| John_5 | yeah phpmyadmin is great | 02:58 |
| Loki2010 | kl4m_, I'm gonna format the both the 20 and 60 gig hd on the pc and try it again it had other OS's on it better to be completely clean install anyway | 02:59 |

| sea4ever | Wtf was that | 03:06 |
| Nyle | blazebud: then install grub for nt, put c:\grldr in c:\boot.ini so ntldr can load grub loader (grldr) and grldr will look for c:\menu.lst in which you can tell it to boot the ubuntu kernel on whichever hd its on. you don't need to even isntall grub on your linux partitions if you don't want to | 03:06 |

| Flannel | blazebud: Well, somewhere near the end, if you hit escape when youre prompted for something, you'll go back to the expert mode, where you see a series of steps. You'll want to start back to where you just were, and then proceed down the list, at the end, will be make grub floppies, instal grub, or instal llilo. | 03:06 |
| blazebud | Nyle: that leaves me with the problem of, how do i get ubuntu to not install grub at all | 03:07 |
| Flannel | blazebud: Did it ask you about boot floppies? | 03:07 |
| blazebud | Flannel: nope | 03:07 |
| Nyle | blazebud: thats weird | 03:07 |
| Ashfire_Server | osxdude: had to look it up. | 03:07 |
| blazebud | Flannel: im installing on a laptop though so no floppy drive | 03:07 |
| Nyle | in the alternate cd i guess you can boot with priority=low param and get it to work | 03:08 |
| * sea4ever is afraid of version requests | 03:08 | |
| Nyle | then when you install ubuntu, just skip the grub step if you want | 03:08 |
| Flannel | blazebud: well, anyway, the escape/continue thing will work. Or you can just choose expert mode from the very beginning. Although it will prompt you for a bunch of stuff | 03:08 |
| Nyle | there are lots of ways | 03:08 |
| scguy318 | sea4ever: then turn on CTCP flood protection | 03:08 |
| Nyle | why would someone take the time to attack ubuntu | 03:08 |
| axjv | While streaming a video in vlc, there's about a 1 second delay between pressing pause and the video actually pausing. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 03:08 |

| blazebud | Flannel: thanks i'll just try in expert mode | 03:09 |
| famicon | you dont need it | 03:09 |
| famicon | blazebud thats easy | 03:09 |
| famicon | just just choose not to at the end of the install | 03:09 |

| Nyle | sure | 03:09 |

| inv4rse | hi i have a problem accessing shared ubuntu folders from windows.. but its fine the other way round | 03:42 |
| riotkittie | vasilisa: what exactly happens when you load gparted? can you select the device you want to scan? | 03:42 |
| vasilisa | notkittie: no, it just freezes with the loader saying "scanning all devices...." | 03:42 |

| noel | i downloaded jre amd64 and installed it manually. wich java plugin should i put in firefox libs? | 03:43 |
| liddan | vasilisa: I have the same problem, only way for me to get gparted to run is to reboot and the first thing I do is to start gparted. If I do anything else before starting gparted it gets stuck on scanning devices. | 03:44 |

| vasilisa | !fsck | 03:48 |
| ubotu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 03:48 |

| CubeXombi | Calilasseia: personally I tend to go the hard route and unplug the other drive, and reset your slave to master.. or hell just unplug your other drive.. | 04:09 |
| * redheron wishes he knew how to program suddenly. | 04:09 | |
| sidlet | C074N63N7: how did you get your network setup? Did you have a tutorial? also what brand of ubuntu are you running? | 04:09 |
| * sidlet instigates the grand inquisition | 04:09 | |
| Calilasseia | Well the drive I boot off seems to work when reading CDs and writing them .... | 04:09 |
| C074N63N7 | sidlet: I used the default configuration that came with ubuntu | 04:10 |
| Calilasseia | Plus the CDs I burned on that drive work on other people's computers, just not mine .... | 04:10 |
| sidlet | C074N63N7: and it recognized your network out of the box? | 04:10 |
| Calilasseia | Which is ticking me off NO end .... | 04:10 |
| C074N63N7 | sidlet: It detected my card, but it's not using it properly somehow | 04:10 |
| redheron | Any ideas? | 04:10 |
| CubeXombi | Calilasseia: yeah but even My CDrw-DVD in my laptop is kinda flaky as a reader, I'm just curous if it's crappin out while reading.. | 04:10 |
| sidlet | C074N63N7: i see. I'm having wifi issues myself but i'm only using the feisty live cd atm. I have yet to install anything. | 04:11 |
| Calilasseia | Hang on I'll give it a test ... | 04:11 |
| Tenshi | Has anyone here tried to use Wubi and had an error at Load installer components from CD before? | 04:11 |
| sidlet | actually i'm shelled into another box :P sitting on vista + putty right now. I dont want to sit in my corner just yet :D | 04:11 |
| CubeXombi | Calilasseia: keep in mind that the Live install unloads a 650+mb file in one shot | 04:11 |
| C074N63N7 | sidlet: I have a Linksys WMP54G with the RaLink RT61 chipset | 04:11 |
| sidlet | what card do you have C074N63N7. | 04:11 |
| prappl93 | sidlet: see the two computer screens in the bar at the top right on Ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| Calilasseia | Actually it's a 698 meg file ... :) | 04:11 |
| sidlet | Hmm.. I've got a broadcom atm. | 04:12 |
| CubeXombi | close enough :P | 04:12 |
| sidlet | prappl93: yes i'm familiar with the network config wizard. Just curious why it doesnt display "discovered" networks. Do you have to enter your network name by hand? is that common? | 04:12 |
| arbitrarystring | redheron...well maybe you have root enabled...try logging in as root maybe instead of sudo? | 04:12 |
| dmi3on | when installing sun-java6 its came up blue screen i dont know what to do i press enter whant work | 04:12 |

| lm297 | Hi I try to get DVD playback to work on Gusy. Nothing int he forums solved it | 04:13 |
| arbitrarystring | the only time I had sudo outright fail was when I had root as an active acount | 04:13 |
| prappl93 | sidlet: if you click on the Manual thing, and click wireless, Properties, in the drop-down list for Network Name, find the one that you want to use | 04:13 |
| C074N63N7 | sidlet: Yeah, apparently it's a known problem that only affects a few chipsets | 04:13 |
| Calilasseia | Just checked my master CD drive ... seems to be working fine on read ... | 04:13 |
| Oli`` | Lots of the screensavers use 100% CPU. All but the GL* ones - presumably because they use hardware acceleration. Is there anyway to enable hardware acceleration on the other screensavers? | 04:13 |

| arbitrarystring | oy | 04:13 |
| sidlet | prappl93: no networks are displayed in that drop list. | 04:13 |
| Calilasseia | I've just had it scan something like 60 megs of JPEG files and they all appeared in the viewer without any glitches .... | 04:13 |
| C074N63N7 | sidlet: I tried using ndiswrapper, but I couldn't get the driver to work | 04:13 |
| prappl93 | sidlet: I do not know what the problem is then, you might have to tie the knot and install it to find out | 04:13 |
| sidlet | prappl93: thats my issue so far then. My network card indicator doesnt turn blue either, it stays amber. | 04:14 |
| sidlet | prappl93: I'm downloading the gutsy iso as we speak, hoping that will have my sound and network working out of the box. | 04:14 |
| redheron | Is it the same as my account? | 04:14 |
| folk_theory | yo | 04:14 |
| folk_theory | whats cooking | 04:14 |
| prappl93 | sidlet: Good luck with that... | 04:14 |
| CubeXombi | calilasseia, I'm more worried about the sustained read of having to pull all the data down.. | 04:15 |
| Calilasseia | If my CD drive was glitching on read would it load up all those art files into my JPEG viewer without a hitch? | 04:15 |
| prappl93 | sidlet: you will get used to Ubuntu really quickly when you start using it | 04:15 |
| sidlet | prappl93: i've got an ubuntu desktp that i'm shelled into right now :) | 04:15 |

| redheron | So... candidacy for a reinstall of Ubuntu? My /home is separately partitioned, so I don't think I need to worry about data loss, and I'm wondering if it might solve the issues I'm having with root. | 04:16 |
| buttercups | redheron, try fixing your broken sudo, give yourself admin privileges again, in recovery mode on boot | 04:17 |
| redheron | ok, but how without knowing the root password (since it didn't tell it to me during the install)? | 04:17 |

| redheron | *S | 04:19 |
| Calilasseia | If I download an alternate ISO, should I download 7.04 or 7.10? | 04:19 |
| compwiz18 | technilogica, between formats? | 04:19 |
| technilogica | I have a folder full of flac that i want to convert to musepack | 04:19 |
| pooyak | hi, is there anyway that I cleanup all X configuration and let ubuntu configure like a clean install? | 04:19 |
| pooyak | dpkg-reconfigure xorg makes it worse | 04:20 |
| technilogica | compwiz18, i found gnormalize, but it won't let me select anything other than the default bitrate | 04:20 |
| compwiz18 | technilogica, try soundconvert (in the repos) or lame (harder to use, also in the repo) | 04:20 |
| CubeXombi | Calilassea, Depends on your pref, I'm using gutsy myself, it had a few quirks i had to get rid of but overall I'm liking it more | 04:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | !ask | The | 04:20 |
| ubotu | The: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 04:20 |
| Calilasseia | OK< I'll try 7.10 ... | 04:20 |
| jaym | any shorewall users here | 04:20 |
| compwiz18 | technilogica, sorry, soundconvert_er_ | 04:20 |
| Calilasseia | Pooyak, you're having problems with xorg? I've had those in the past .... | 04:20 |
| Calilasseia | Start off by selecting the bare bones vesa driver to get a basic working system ... | 04:21 |
| pooyak | Calilasseia, usual nvidia problems. | 04:21 |
| pooyak | Calilasseia, yes I can get a barebone working | 04:21 |
| elubin_ | where is the file located that handles the startup scripts on ubuntu? | 04:21 |
| Calilasseia | I found that worked with me in the past ... select the basic vesa driver first, then try other drivers on a piecemeal basis until I find one that works ... | 04:21 |
| The | Well, I have an external scsi and an internal hdd on my desktop. I installed Ubuntu Studio 7.10. When it installed GRUB I think it installed it on my | 04:21 |
| The | scsi instead of my internal hdd, thinking it was a laptop. I can't see a dual boot loader, all I see is my XP side. | 04:21 |
| arbitrarystring | /etc/rc.d | 04:21 |
| Calilasseia | Only in my case I find the Radeon drivers are buggy as hell ... | 04:22 |
| technilogica | compwiz18, bah. hardcoded encoders. i really would like musepack.... | 04:22 |
| Calilasseia | So I only use the vesa driver because that's the only one that works on my system ... when I can get a bootable OS up and running that is ... | 04:22 |
| pooyak | Calilasseia, yes the vesa one works but when I install nvidia drivers again on that | 04:22 |
| atlfalcons866 | is it safe to use jfs or should i stay with ext3 | 04:22 |
| CubeXombi | <Calilasseia> what Radeon do you have? | 04:22 |
| The | What should I do to get my computer to boot so I can see both OS's at boot? | 04:22 |
| xen_caapn | i go with reiser usually | 04:22 |
| elubin_ | arbitrarystring> there are 6 rc.d's for me, which one? | 04:22 |
| xen_caapn | they're all safe | 04:23 |
| pooyak | Calilasseia, the xorg.conf doesn't get updated correctly and nvidia-settings can't read its own created settings | 04:23 |
| atlfalcons866 | not xfs | 04:23 |
| Calilasseia | Radeon 7000 ... like I said, my machine is an antique .... | 04:23 |
| arbitrarystring | elubin, use rc.local | 04:23 |
| elubin_ | thank you | 04:23 |
| arbitrarystring | add what you want to that and you wno | 04:23 |
| arbitrarystring | won' | 04:23 |
| arbitrarystring | t mess much up really | 04:23 |

| Xenocide21 | it cant be that bad | 04:27 |
| arbitrarystring | vhain, you're trying the latest binary release from the ati website? | 04:27 |
| Calilasseia | In fact, given the crap I've been experiencing lately just getting an OS to install I'm wondering it I shouldn't just kick the whole thing into touch and live with boring old Windows ... | 04:27 |
| vhain | yeah | 04:27 |
| redheron | Okay, can NOT get into the root account in recovery mode WITHOUT THE ROOT PASSWORD. | 04:27 |
| arbitrarystring | and the installer miserably fails eh? | 04:27 |
| elubin_ | arbitrary strings, i already have a dhcp server running and starting up at login, and i want to turn it off, im looking in each rc1.d up to rc6.d and they all contain a text file _20dhcp where _ is a letter that varies, which one would i touch and what should i do with it so that it doesnt startup | 04:27 |
| redheron | Which, by the way, was never provided. | 04:28 |

| arbitrarystring | elubin, I don't know sorry mate, try greping through em | 04:29 |
| Calilasseia | Oh well, I'll try downloading the 7.10 alternate installer, burn that, and see if that dies too .... | 04:29 |
| The | I've tried asking the question a number of times, with no results. | 04:29 |
| Calilasseia | Bye all .... | 04:29 |
| elubin_ | k thanks anyway | 04:29 |
| aciddrop | i like that vista | 04:29 |
| aciddrop | is that ubuntu | 04:29 |
| redheron | Ubuntu Vista... never heard of it. | 04:29 |
| aciddrop | im sure someone has made a vista theme for ubuntu | 04:30 |
| arbitrarystring | its like ubuntu only crappy | 04:30 |
| aciddrop | im asking if that is one of them | 04:30 |
| vhain | is there anybody successfully installed ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 Driver on Gutsy?? T_T | 04:30 |
| The | HOW DO I INSTALL GRUB IF UBUNTU IS INSTALLED ON AN EXTERNAL DRIVE??? | 04:30 |
| redheron | Anyway, sudo isn't working, I don't have a root password, and I don't know what other options I can try. | 04:30 |
| CubeXombi | vhain, i'm looking for what i used, | 04:30 |
| CubeXombi | not same card but same setup | 04:31 |
| vhain | thanks! | 04:31 |
| redheron | I've never been provided with a root password at any point during the install, and I don't know where to look, since suddenly my browser doesn't want to work. | 04:31 |
| vhain | i tried everything... including "http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide" | 04:31 |
| buttercups | redheron, did not work? | 04:31 |
| arbitrarystring | just to be weird, try sudo sudo su | 04:31 |
| redheron | buttercups, I don't have a password for root | 04:32 |
| arbitrarystring | if that gives you a prompt congrats | 04:32 |
| redheron | it asked for one in recovery mode. | 04:32 |
| Burlynn | redheron: just showed up, but did you try your user passwd? | 04:32 |
| ArthurArchnix | !caps | The | 04:32 |
| ubotu | The: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 04:32 |
| redheron | MY user password on the root account? | 04:32 |
| arbitrarystring | oy...brb | 04:32 |
| Burlynn | redheron: yes | 04:32 |
| redheron | Odd... but I'll try that. | 04:32 |
| The | Well, obviously I needed to shout, because I got no answers after several attemps at a problem I am having. | 04:33 |
| redheron | Nope, wrong password. | 04:33 |
| racarter | i need help with my sound on ubuntu 7.10 | 04:33 |
| racarter | http://pastebin.com/m4d44bb2a | 04:33 |
| * redheron sighs. :-( | 04:33 | |
| Burlynn | redheron: and you never set a root password? | 04:33 |
| redheron | Nope, I never did. | 04:33 |
| Burlynn | hm | 04:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | !patience | The | 04:33 |
| ubotu | The: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 04:33 |
| vhain | CubeXombe: Did you find that..? | 04:33 |
| redheron | I've only had Ubuntu for like a week, and I'm a Windows user before that. | 04:34 |
| Owe1 | does anyone know about mono & apache | 04:34 |
| jaym | any shorewall users here | 04:34 |
| redheron | I'm getting *really* frustrated. | 04:34 |
| vhain | CubeXombe: Did you find that..? | 04:34 |
| redheron | I'm wondering if I should check the MD5 sum on my login binary. | 04:34 |
| redheron | Which I'm wondering how to find out what the correct value should be. | 04:34 |
| The | I am quite aware of IRC guidelines. But the funny thing is, when I go to other IRC places, I get answers. All I seem to get here is the cold should, | 04:35 |
| The | when I ask politely. | 04:35 |
| buttercups | redheron, what happened when you booted into recovery mode? | 04:35 |
| Burlynn | redheron: the reason i had asked if you tried your user password is that the root account by default is disabled in ubuntu. therefore you shouldnt be getting asked for it ;/ | 04:35 |
| The | should-shoulder | 04:35 |
| irreducibilis | 貴社ますますご盛栄のこととお慶び申し上げます。 | 04:35 |
| ArthurArchnix | The: Post the output of "fdisk -l" to pastebin. Also post the output of "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" to pastebin. | 04:35 |
| redheron | It asked me for a password, which I didn't have, or to hit Control-D, which I did after 2 failed password attempts and it started normally after that. | 04:36 |
| irreducibilis | The: What was your question? | 04:36 |
| ArthurArchnix | The: Also be aware that I am answering questions during commercials while watching a movie. I may not respond immediately. Perhaps someone else will move more quickly. I am aware of at least three or four threads that I have participated in on the ubuntuforums dealing with your problem. | 04:36 |
| redheron | Burlynn, buttercup, so what to do now? | 04:37 |
| buttercups | redheron, just press enter, not control d, that will just boot you into normal boot | 04:37 |
| The | just trying to figure out how to install GRUB if I have ubuntu on an external drive, without killing my XP? To have a dual boot loader? | 04:37 |
| redheron | buttercups, so... no password at all? | 04:37 |
| The | Do I install it to hda1? | 04:37 |
| buttercups | redheron, yes no password at all | 04:37 |
| irreducibilis | The: I have booted various linux distros to external flash drives with success | 04:37 |
| redheron | buttercups, thanks, I'll try that. | 04:37 |
| sandaru1 | !fixgrub | The | 04:38 |
| ubotu | The: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 04:38 |
| rabidweezle | anyone here having problems with wine and counter-strike source? I asked in the #winehq but no replys so I figured I'd check here... | 04:38 |
| irreducibilis | The: hda1 is your main HD... thats a nono | 04:38 |
| The | no, an external hard drive, not flash drive. A scsi hard drive. | 04:38 |
| redheron | Burlynn, buttercups, arbitrarystring, I'll try that and brb | 04:38 |
| sandaru1 | The: usually, "sudo updade-grub" works fine | 04:38 |
| irreducibilis | The: an external drive will come up as sda/sdb/sdc etc too. same. | 04:38 |
| CubeXombi | vhain, sorry dude just checked on my docs... worn't help you too much, I don't see the HD2600 mentioned | 04:38 |
| nerdful1 | hi new member here, with mythtv questions. | 04:39 |
| The | so does that mean I need to install GRUB to hda1 to boot into ubutnu on sda1? | 04:39 |
| sandaru1 | The: s/updade/update/ | 04:39 |
| vhain | CubeXombe: oh.. that's okay... i | 04:39 |
| irreducibilis | The: From a prompt, type "mount" then find your sda | 04:39 |
| aciddrop | what is a good program to install software on ubuntu | 04:39 |
| irreducibilis | The: No, that is not how you boot from an external drive. | 04:39 |
| irreducibilis | !better | aciddrop | 04:40 |
| ubotu | aciddrop: 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. | 04:40 |
| The | well, I'm using ubuntu studio 7.10. so it's got a way to "fix" a grub install. it asks if I want to install it to hda1 or hda2? | 04:40 |
| sandaru1 | !software | aciddrop | 04:40 |
| ubotu | aciddrop: 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 | 04:40 |
| arbitrarystring | synaptic package manager is a good place to start | 04:40 |
| irreducibilis | The: First, does your BIOS support booting external devices? I assume its USB, rihgt? | 04:40 |
| irreducibilis | *right, excuse me | 04:40 |
| The | I'll have to check, but I believe that's right. | 04:40 |
| aciddrop | i want something to where if i got the files for the install on my desktop i open the program direct it to the files and it does the rest | 04:41 |
| The | well, actually, my scsi is 1394 firewire. | 04:41 |
| eido | is there a way to mount bin files in linux? | 04:41 |
| irreducibilis | Well regardless, your BIOS needs to support booting from <insert external device here> | 04:41 |
| elubin | i have a dhcp server running on my ubuntu pc and just installed rcconf and was wondering if the dhcp startup script handles both the ip address of the computer itself as well as the dhcp server or if they are separate | 04:41 |
| vhain | Is there anybody succeeded installing ATi Mobility Radeon HD 2600 on Gutsy?? I'm now using vesa driver(the default) but, i cannot use desktop effect(compiz) with that.. | 04:41 |
| The | okay, I'll check that. then install GRUB to hda1? | 04:41 |
| irreducibilis | The: Usually you press something like F12 on startup to get a list of devices to boot from. | 04:42 |
| The | will my bios tell me which buttom to hit? | 04:42 |
| redheron | buttercups, Burlynn, arbitrarystring, no-go: it still says "Login incorrect." | 04:42 |
| === pipelinexpc is now known as pipelineaudio | ||
| irreducibilis | The: No, what I am trying to say is that you dont need GRUB to boot from an external device | 04:42 |
| vhain | Is there anybody succeeded installing ATi Mobility Radeon HD 2600 on Gutsy?? I'm now using vesa driver(the default) but, i cannot use desktop effect(compiz) with that..\ | 04:42 |
| The | ah, so just turn on that function in my bios, and that's it? But I have an XP mirror (raid) on that same external drive. | 04:43 |
| === Pilotguy_aw is now known as Pilotguy | ||
| irreducibilis | The: You just need to have it set up the right way so your BIOS recognises it as something that will boot | 04:43 |
| The | it's getting more complicated isn't it? | 04:43 |
| irreducibilis | The: Yes.... | 04:43 |
| vhain | Is there anybody succeeded installing ATi Mobility Radeon HD 2600 on Gutsy?? I'm now using vesa driver(the default) but, i cannot use desktop effect(compiz) with that.. | 04:43 |
| The | ah, okay, it will give me a choice when it sees two OS's on the external drive? | 04:44 |
| irreducibilis | The: Windows on the same drive is going to make this a lot harder, and now we probably DO need grub on the drive | 04:44 |
| chuy_max | how do I disable services like ftp, samba, ssh from being started when I boot up the PC? | 04:44 |
| jimmygoon | !awn | 04:45 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:45 |
| Xenocide21 | He He He He | 04:45 |
| jaym | !shorewall | 04:45 |
| 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). | 04:45 |
| jimmygoon | !avant-window-navigator | 04:45 |
| arbitrarystring | vhain, compiz in gutsy might not work with said driver, you could consider installing beryl | 04:45 |
| sandaru1 | chuy_max: check scripts on /etc/init.d/ | 04:45 |
| The | Well, let me ask you this, I don't need windows on that drive, so is there a file or something I an delete to keep it from being an OS on the external | 04:45 |
| The | drive? | 04:45 |
| chuy_max | vhain, I have an Ati Radeon Mobility and 3D effects worked without very much trouble | 04:45 |
| * redheron is out of ideas. | 04:46 | |
| The | That way, ubuntu will be the only OS on that drive. | 04:46 |
| buttercups | redheron, thats really odd, if you never set a root password you should be granted root access in recovery mode automatically | 04:46 |
| chuy_max | vhain, but fortunately my ubuntu installation installed the right drivers for the card :) | 04:46 |
| irreducibilis | The: If you want only ubuntu on that drive, then just do this... | 04:46 |
| The | okay, but I do need to keep the 17gigs I have for my photos on that drive, I'm a photographer, so I can't use the whole external. | 04:47 |
| redheron | buttercups, that's why I want to check MD5 sums... I was reading online before my browser crapped out that I may need to check for a difference. | 04:47 |
| vhain | you're very lucky chuy_max :) oh.. | 04:47 |
| chuy_max | sandaru1, what am I looking for?, what should I modify?, chmod -x service? | 04:47 |
| pooyak | for some reason my nvidia card decides to use TV output as the mainout in the text mode | 04:48 |
| irreducibilis | The: First format the whole entire drive. Then get out your liveCD and boot to that, then go to a console and type mount to get a list of devices, find your external drive "sd something", then install to it. Now that its installed the way it would to any other "internal" hard drive, just tell your BIOS to boot from it. | 04:48 |
| sandaru1 | chuy_max: yes, that'll work.. or create a directory called "disabled" and move those scripts to that directory | 04:48 |
| irreducibilis | The: Your BIOS has to be able to boot from firewire, of cource, but that would work | 04:48 |
| jeyk1982 | has anyone got FGLRX to work with an ATI x1650 on 7.10? | 04:49 |
| eltux | how do i change the directory with wine so I can load a program? | 04:49 |
| arbitrarystring | reheron, it isn't outside the realm of possiblity that your system has been compromised | 04:49 |
| The | but like I said, I do need to keep a spaceon that drive for windows photos for now. But, if I delete the "windows" folder from that side, would it | 04:49 |
| The | "kill" XP on that drive? | 04:49 |
| Flannel | eltux: just use the full path | 04:50 |
| redheron | I understand that, in which case I'll reinstall, but I want to check the MD5's against what they should be to make sure. | 04:50 |
| The | this is weird, huh? | 04:50 |
| eltux | Flannel: its in Program Files, so how am i suppose to navigate to that in the terminal? | 04:50 |
| irreducibilis | The: Well, concidering that "WINDOWS" folder holds the kernal plus just about every file vital to the OS, I would say it kills XP... | 04:50 |
| dmi3on | how do i create matlab icone on desk top ? | 04:50 |
| The | well let me ask you this, can ubuntu read ntfs files?? Like photo files? | 04:50 |
| redheron | arbitrarystring, the above was meant to reply to you | 04:50 |
| jeyk1982 | Every time i try to install ATI drivers + ubuntu = BLACK SCREEN | 04:51 |
| Flannel | eltux: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ | 04:51 |
| eltux | thanks Flannel | 04:51 |
| Romina | hi | 04:52 |
| arbitrarystring | redheron, thanks, my advice is backup now, ask questions later :) | 04:52 |
| redheron | lol | 04:52 |
| jeyk1982 | wow, completely ignored | 04:52 |
| Romina | can I make apache on ubuntu create new files with permissions 664 instead of 644 without compiling it? | 04:52 |
| vhain | i'm gonna remove gutsy and install feisty. hope that help me installing fglrx | 04:52 |
| andy_ | bye | 04:52 |
| John_5 | what is the fastest way to transfer files over LAN? | 04:52 |
| John_5 | SSH is just way too slow | 04:52 |
| irreducibilis | The: Not sure... | 04:52 |
| The | So, if ubuntu is the only OS on that external drive, I don't need grub? Just change my bios? | 04:52 |
| irreducibilis | Everyone = Can Ubuntu read NTFS? | 04:53 |
| chuy_max | vhain, did your card worked in feisty in the past? | 04:53 |
| sidlet | John_5: Samba, FTP, SCP, NFS are all viable options. | 04:53 |
| redheron | arbitrarystring, any ideas where I might find the correct MD5's for comparison, since my browser isn't seeming to work? | 04:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | The: I've been following your conversation and its confusing. Can you summarize it please? Something like, I have windows xp installed on an internal drive, raid setup with an external drive. I created a partition on the internal drive to install ubuntu to.. or I want to install ubuntu... or I installed ubuntu to a partition I made on the external drive and installed ubuntu but now only windows shows up on grub. Somethine along th | 04:53 |
| Flannel | The: You'll need GRUB on that external drive. Your BIOS starts grub | 04:53 |
| The | and it will allow me to boot from XP or ubuntu? | 04:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | irreducibilis: Yes. | 04:53 |
| irreducibilis | Good. | 04:53 |
| eric | I am having issues with dual monitors on a GeForce 7600, My main monitor is "zoomed in" though I do not think it is because of an assistant app. If someone could point me in the right direction that would help. | 04:53 |

| ArthurArchnix | irreducibilis: Read and write with ntfs-3g | 04:53 |
| someone2005 | Whats the best way to tell which kernel you have ? | 04:53 |

| vhain | chuy_max: my laptop is brand-new. I bought it yesterday. and it uses SATA so feisty live cd does not working. so.. i'm gonna install with alternative cd | 04:54 |
| Flannel | The: GRUB will allow you to choose, yes. Just make sure your windows drive is attached when you install Ubuntu | 04:54 |
| vhain | chuy_max: in conclusion , i didn't tried. | 04:54 |
| The | I have an external drive, XP on that. I have an external drive, with a Mirror of XP on that (40gigs). I have Ubuntu on the external 70gigs with 2 gig | 04:54 |

| geju | would anyone know how to mount a external hdd via usb, if it doesnt show up with lsusb when connected? | 04:54 |
| irreducibilis | The: Does your external drive allow you to remove the physiscal drive from inside? | 04:54 |
| The | Oops. Internal drive, with XP on that. | 04:54 |
| redheron | Okay, this is VERY ODD ... buttercups, arbitrarystring, Burlynn, I am suddenly able to browse on the web again. | 04:55 |
| The | Probably | 04:55 |
| irreducibilis | The: Well you should know | 04:55 |
| ArthurArchnix | Ok. Internal drive with XP. External drive with Ubuntu. That it? | 04:55 |
| The | Make it an hda3? | 04:55 |

| * irreducibilis is confuzzled | 04:55 | |
| The | Yep, but with XP mirror (it's bootable if I want) on external also. | 04:56 |
| chuy_max | vhain, and feisty is older than gutsy, so I wouldnt count on feisty solving the video card issue | 04:56 |
| ArthurArchnix | Is that the same external as ubuntu is installed on? | 04:56 |
| The | Yep, they reside side by side. | 04:56 |
| vhain | chuy_max: hmm.... oh..than.. what can i do..??? T_T | 04:56 |
| ArthurArchnix | So you have three partitions on an external drive, a windows mirror, and ubuntu, and a swap. | 04:56 |
| irreducibilis | The: remove the drives from your computer. Remove the drives from your external. Put the external drives in your computer so they are now internal, do what you want to them using standard procedure. stick them back into the case. | 04:57 |
| The | But I can delete files from the XP side and make it nonbootable, if that's possible. Turns out I don't need that side to boot, just need to keep the | 04:57 |
| The | ntfs part of it. | 04:57 |
| Flannel | The: Don't worry about it, having multiple things bootable isn't a problem | 04:57 |
| ArthurArchnix | irreducibilis: ? | 04:57 |
| Zaiden | How do you install xmms 1.2.11 manually since using the apt-get command through the terminal installs 1.2.10? | 04:57 |

| Evanlec | greencookie, hey, how goes thigns? | 05:05 |
| chuy_max | icangoogleit, ok, I wasn't aware of that, I just checked wikipedia and nobody has updated it: "It contains free open source as well as proprietary and closed source parts." (fglrx) | 05:05 |

| Evanlec | ArthurArchnix, lol, i dont think i want to ;p | 05:13 |
| astro76 | !pastebin | vasilisa | 05:13 |
| ubotu | vasilisa: 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) | 05:13 |
| kasbar | my version came with ff 1.07 or sumthing | 05:13 |
| tonyyarusso | kasbar: err, what version did you install? | 05:14 |
| buttercups | icangoogleit, and he has never set a root password | 05:14 |
| Evanlec | ArthurArchnix, he seems oblivious to people speaking to him | 05:14 |
| tonyyarusso | kasbar: (of ubuntu) | 05:14 |
| icangoogleit | buttercups then boot to live cd and visudo that file. | 05:14 |
| filloy | how do you tell an aplication which screen to use? | 05:14 |
| jangari | run your old firefox and go to help > check for updates | 05:14 |

| icangoogleit | ok im off niniez | 05:15 |
| greencookie | brb | 05:15 |
| icangoogleit | mm | 05:16 |
| kasbar | eh it was an old cd i booted it from so ya | 05:16 |
| danny | How do you get your Trash Bin on your desktop? | 05:16 |
| icangoogleit | right dapper w/e | 05:16 |
| astro76 | vasilisa, what filesystem is /dev/sda1? | 05:16 |
| drayveal | danny: right clock the desktop and Create Launcher | 05:16 |
| john__ | Any one have any experience getting vmware player to work in gutsy? | 05:16 |
| orchid`_ | yeah i have been having issues with my version of linux | 05:16 |
| vasilisa | astro76: it was ext3, i removed the journal to try to resize it, but that didnt work either..... fstab must not work. | 05:16 |
| Peddy | john:works fine for me | 05:16 |
| CSharpNub | where does the web rood for apache go in the default server installation for ubuntu | 05:16 |
| Crazymethjesus | yes | 05:17 |
| Peddy | john: I upgraded from feisty | 05:17 |
| astro76 | vasilisa, fstab has nothing to do with an unmounted filesystem, sounds like you have filesystem errors | 05:17 |
| eric | I have 2 monitors, my secondary displays at the correct resolution, but my first is "zoomed in" any tips? | 05:17 |
| astro76 | !fsck | vasilisa | 05:17 |
| ubotu | vasilisa: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 05:17 |
| danny | drayveal: whats the command? | 05:17 |
| orchid`_ | i recently upgraded to gutsy gibbon from feisty fawn. 64 amd . and well now i see that my bar at the top o the screen is sometimes gone and when i restat it re-appears. doe sanyone know how i can stop it from goin away? | 05:17 |
| * DanaG needeth some help with PulseAudio. | 05:17 | |
| tonyyarusso | kasbar: I'd highly recommended installing a newer version, so that you receive important updates and security fixes. | 05:17 |
| Evanlec | does anyone know how i might save my current session, and recall it anytime for later use? | 05:17 |
| drayveal | danny: Not sure LOL! one second... I'm kinda a nubie to Linux, but let me find that command for you | 05:18 |
| vasilisa | astro76: Here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44977/ | 05:18 |
| astro76 | DanaG, you might also try #ubuntustudio | 05:18 |
| kasbar | k im dling the version 7.10 | 05:18 |
| danny | drayveal: i just started today and i made a mac os x leopard theme and posted it =P | 05:18 |
| vasilisa | astro76: i might add now that while resizing the partition on the live cd before i started all this, i thought it locked up and canceled the process c.c | 05:18 |
| vasilisa | >.> | 05:18 |
| astro76 | vasilisa, then it's probably completely trashed, delete it and create a new one | 05:19 |
| dmi3on | who t oopen file and edit thruogh terminal window ? | 05:19 |
| vasilisa | astro76: yeah, that'll be easy with 120 gigs of files | 05:19 |
| kasbar | ugh a 2 hour load time | 05:19 |
| astro76 | vasilisa, don't know what to tell you, filesystem resizing is one of those things you CANNOT have interrupted, it's trashed | 05:19 |
| helfrez | DanaG, pulseaudio is tricky, but their website has specific setup insteuctions per distro i believe | 05:19 |
| nickrud | dmi3on: nano /path/to/file | 05:19 |
| helfrez | !pulseaudio | 05:19 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pulseaudio - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:19 |

| astro76 | Dedion, tvtime | 05:20 |
| vasilisa | astro76: its just annoying. Backups... i mean, we're talking about gigs and gigs. | 05:20 |
| dmi3on | nickrud: thnks | 05:20 |
| Peddy | can anybody point me to a quick (free) drive cloning software? | 05:21 |
| Dedion | Thanks astro76 | 05:21 |
| nickrud | pfieber: you can find repos at old-releases.ubuntu.com, but be aware that breezy doesn't get any security updates anymore, you might want to upgrade it to dapper | 05:21 |
| vasilisa | astro76: Well thanks... i may have a cheat for this anyway | 05:21 |
| tonyyarusso | Peddy: mondo, partimage, dd | 05:21 |
| jangari | danny, check your privates | 05:22 |
| Peddy | thanks tony | 05:22 |
| pfieber | Nickrud: Thanks for that. yeah, upgrade to 7 is in the plan, but not for another month. but I have to update a couple of things right away | 05:22 |
| irreducibilis | jangari: O_O | 05:22 |
| astro76 | vasilisa, I have little sympathy for all the people who don't want to backup their 100s of gigs of pirated media before doing destructive operations.... anyway your first stop should be a fsck | 05:22 |
| ozzloy | i upgraded to 7.10 recently, every once in a while my laptop screen will go blank, the fan will go full blast, and the only thing i can do is hold the power button until it powers off. how do i fix this? | 05:22 |
| jangari | yeah yeah | 05:23 |
| nickrud | pfieber: breezy was my favorite, fewest issues I ever had on a distro | 05:23 |
| jangari | where might one find the trash icon? | 05:23 |
| Evanlec | is it possible to save gnome sessions by name for later use? | 05:23 |
| astro76 | jangari, if it's not on your gnome panel, you can add it to any panel | 05:23 |
| pfieber | nickrud: nice to know. it's been trouble-free for years, doing yeoman service. I've liked it too. | 05:23 |
| nickrud | Evanlec: not yet | 05:23 |
| * greencookie is thinking of using a graphical terminal instead of ttys | 05:24 | |
| DerangedDingo | nickrud: Hardy will be better. Breezy and Hardy will both be LTS's | 05:24 |
| vasilisa | astro76: Actually its largely po..... yeah, aquired media. I tried fsck... meh, ill just use the other partition since xp wasnt installing anyway | 05:24 |
| jangari | no, i mean the actual icon, not the trash bin | 05:24 |
| dmi3on | nickrud: how ot save file after? | 05:24 |
| jangari | to use on a location launcher | 05:24 |
| Zaiden | Anyone know how to get a USB headset to work in Ubuntu? | 05:24 |
| eric | ozzloy: is the laptop a mac? | 05:24 |
| nickrud | dmi3on: ctl-x, and say yes to save (the commands are listed at the bottom of the screen) | 05:24 |
| astro76 | jangari, try: locate trash | grep .png | 05:25 |
| jangari | ta | 05:25 |
| nickrud | DerangedDingo: not complaining, just remembering just how good breezy was for me | 05:25 |
| magic_ninja | anyone know why i can't right-click in fluxbox | 05:25 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, really? how do the default sessions get there then? | 05:25 |
| dmi3on | nickrud: thnk that was my bad question | 05:25 |
| dmi3on | :) | 05:25 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, can't i just save my current session, and then copy that file to wherever the session list gets generated? | 05:26 |
| vox | when is vmware-server-modules going to be available for the 2.6.22-14 gutsy kernel? | 05:26 |
| astro76 | Evanlec, you can save sessions, but there is no load on demand, it is loaded when you login to Gnome | 05:26 |
| ozzloy | eric: no, ubuntu | 05:26 |
| ozzloy | eric: er... toshiba | 05:26 |
| Evanlec | astro76, right, thats fine, but i just want to be able to load the session anytime i log in, not just the next time i log in | 05:26 |
| nickrud | Evanlec: I've read talk about adding that, but no one's done it yet. There's only one session file, ~/.gnome2/session | 05:26 |
| ozzloy | eric: didn't have this problem on 7.04 | 05:26 |
| astro76 | Evanlec, in system > preferences > sessions you can save your current session, or set it to always save on log out, and it will load everytime you log in | 05:26 |
| tannji | Anyone able to help with networking? got it going but cant surf on the second box, want to do the equivalent of network wizard connection sharing on XP | 05:26 |
| tannji | or do I need a proxy server | 05:27 |
| eric | ozzloy: hmm, I Know I had that problem on my macbook(and mac os) after a while, I think it had something to do with the power manager | 05:27 |
| Evanlec | astro76, yea thats not what i want tho, i want to be able to load different sessions, not just the same one | 05:27 |
| someone2005 | Whats the latest kernel ? | 05:27 |
| helfrez | 2.6.23 | 05:27 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, okay then how do the Failsafe, GNOME, Xscript sessions get tehre? | 05:27 |
| someone2005 | have to get that... | 05:28 |
| eric | ozzloy: Had to send it into mac to be fixed, though I don't know if toshibas have that problem | 05:28 |
| astro76 | !kernel | someone2005 | 05:28 |
| ubotu | someone2005: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages | 05:28 |
| jumbers | Why is it that .WAV files are refusing to play in Audacious under Gutsy? I have the wav plugin installed and enabled, but it will not play them | 05:28 |
| eric | err into apple | 05:28 |
| jangari | try audacity instead? | 05:28 |
| someone2005 | maybe... | 05:29 |
| ozzloy | eric: i don't think it's a hardware problem, as 7.04 didn't do this | 05:29 |
| ozzloy | aw | 05:29 |
| jangari | danny, did you get all that? | 05:29 |
| leafw | what's up with feisty's "not authenticated" samba upgrade packages? | 05:29 |
| nickrud | Evanlec: those are different, you find the basic stuff setup for them in /usr/share/xsessions | 05:29 |
| leafw | is that a known issue ? | 05:29 |
| greencookie | Is it too early to start playing with the kernel core?:) | 05:29 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, darnit! | 05:29 |
| John_5 | I'm having a bit of trouble with my NFS server/client connection. The directory I want is mounted properly but I don't have any write permissions. The directory on the server is chmoded to 666. Any tips? | 05:30 |
| jangari | who was asking about saving sessions? | 05:30 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, i wanna be able to load a set of apps/windows/folders/websites in one step | 05:30 |
| nickrud | greencookie: never too soon to try compiling a kernel | 05:30 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, a shell script might work then? | 05:30 |
| sidlet | Odd. How can you tell what chipset you have for a wireless card? My vendors site only claims that it is a Broadcom 802.11 b/g wifi card. | 05:30 |
| Evanlec | greencookie, i wouldnt do kernel compiling yet until you're qutie familiar with the CLI | 05:30 |
| manduski | hey guys, i just updated my system to 7.10 and I can't seem to be able to name or rename folders. How can I fix this? | 05:30 |
| jangari | Evanlec: system > prefs > sessions, easy. | 05:30 |
| sidlet | nickrud! | 05:30 |
| Evanlec | sidlet, lspci | 05:30 |
| ozzloy | my laptop will lock up, blank screen, full blast fan, only power off after holding the button, and this is all since i upgraded to 7.10 on wednesday. how do i fix this? | 05:31 |
| nickrud | Evanlec: yeah, well you could probably do something with ~/.gnome2/session and ~/.config/autostart | 05:31 |
| greencookie | nickrud: I'm excited. Evanlec: sounds like a good idea. hehe | 05:31 |
| nickrud | sidlet: high | 05:31 |
| Evanlec | jangari, yea but i need to be able to load a number of different sessions, not just the same one | 05:31 |
| sidlet | Evanlec: okay so when i boot to ubuntu after i fix my partition table, i should lspci, and that will theoretically tell me what chipset i have? | 05:31 |
| jangari | can't that session manager save multiple sessions? | 05:31 |
| sidlet | er, rather, have that displayed in the list of hardware it pulls. | 05:31 |
| Evanlec | sidlet, should ya | 05:31 |
| drayveal | how do I change the partitions within Ubuntu 7.10 | 05:31 |
| drayveal | ? | 05:31 |
| Evanlec | jangari, apparently not | 05:31 |
| sidlet | Evanlec: can I thump you if i ever see you? :P | 05:32 |
| manduski | hey guys, i just updated my system to 7.10 and I can't seem to be able to name or rename folders. How can I fix this? | 05:32 |
| jangari | hmm, you're right | 05:32 |
| DerangedDingo | drayveal: LiveCD. You cannot modify partitions while they are mounted, and you cannot run an OS with a mounted system partition | 05:32 |
| nickrud | drayveal: what do you mean by changing partitions | 05:32 |
| DerangedDingo | drayveal: without* | 05:32 |
| kaitaroSpark | hello | 05:33 |
| sidlet | drayveal: you can get a gparted iso, or use the ubuntu live cd. That will allow you to "change" your partitions. | 05:33 |
| manduski | hello? anyone? | 05:33 |
| drayveal | so Ubuntu does not have built in disk management? | 05:34 |
| sidlet | however, read up on what your doing. I resized my ntfs partition and didnt label the new unused space and have theoretically lost it until I can resize/fix it. | 05:34 |
| Evanlec | sidlet, thump me? | 05:34 |
| eric | any ideas about how I could get dual monitors to work correctly? | 05:34 |
| sidlet | Evanlec: n/m buddy. Was being a jerk. | 05:34 |
| sidlet | s/was/I Was | 05:34 |
| Evanlec | sidlet, kk | 05:34 |
| John_5 | nevermind about my nfs problem, it's fine now. and I must say it's going like 100x faster than samba. | 05:34 |
| jangari | bah, sidlet, we accept pronoun dropping here | 05:34 |
| drayveal | I'm trying to shrink my Back-Up partition that has a 12gig image on it... And add that amount that I shrank to my Ubuntu partition | 05:35 |
| sidlet | John_5: glad that worked for ya | 05:35 |
| jangari | pardon, "accept pronoun dropping here" | 05:35 |
| CSharpNub | how do I run the file browser in gnome as root | 05:35 |
| CSharpNub | I want to use it to change a few things | 05:35 |
| sidlet | John_5: NFS is flakey at times though. Or atleast it has been in my experience. | 05:35 |
| Vladimir32tl | can anyone help? i have 1 120 gig drive with a c:, d:, and a "recovery partition" of about 5 gigs used by my pc. c: has xp and d: is empty. if i use livecd with 7.10, will i have the option to install ubuntu on d: only and still get dual boot. and if so, will i have to create a swap partition and if so will i be able to make that on my d:, all from the livecd? | 05:35 |
| DerangedDingo | drayveal: yes, it does, mkfs. but you cannot modify a partition while it's mounted, and how do you expect to run ubuntu without a mounted partition?? LiveCD | 05:35 |
| dmi3on | when matlab starting its starts also terminal window how can i start matlab withiout it ? | 05:35 |
| sidlet | Vladimir32tl: yes | 05:35 |
| arbitrarystring | hooray for the mbr | 05:36 |
| Vladimir32tl | thanks sidlet | 05:36 |
| nickrud | CSharpNub: you would run gksudo nautilus , but be very cautious with it, it's good practice to use the command line to work on system files, it's harder therefore you have to think more :) | 05:36 |
| zelda969 | anyone familiar with ethernet bonding, I am having trouble setting it up under Ubuntu 7.10 | 05:36 |
| drayveal | ok, LiveCD does nothing for me when I can boot into Vista faster than onto the Live CD | 05:36 |
| stellar7 | I'm trying to update Ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 by using Update Manager --> Upgrade. It seems to start downloading stuff but it ends up with the following error, then doing nothing: "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio/dists/feisty/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntustudio.org'". How do I upgrade? | 05:36 |
| someone2005 | upgrade ? | 05:36 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, http://www.gnome.org/learn/users-guide/latest/prefs-sessions.html | 05:36 |
| sidlet | drayveal: Whats your problem? The live cd takes a bit to load because its loading the entire OS from cd into ram. | 05:36 |
| nickrud | drayveal: the key thing is to resize the ubuntu partition, you can't be running ubuntu on it | 05:36 |
| CSharpNub | tnx | 05:36 |
| manduski | i just updated my system to 7.10 and I can't seem to be able to name or rename folders. Can anyone help me? | 05:37 |
| arbitrarystring | drayveal=troll | 05:37 |
| eric | any ideas about how I could get dual monitors to work correctly? my main monitor becomes messed up when I try use both, any ideas? | 05:37 |
| sidlet | manduski: check your user/group permissions. | 05:37 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | I'm beggin' for help, people... | 05:37 |
| sidlet | IcePrincessSatyr: quit begging, whats your emergency? | 05:37 |
| greencookie | IcePrincessSatyr: whassup | 05:37 |
| nickrud | Evanlec: very cool, but I don't see it in ubuntu | 05:37 |
| santh_ | how to install wine in terminal mode | 05:38 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | I'm totally new to linux/ubuntu and have absolutely NO idea how to get ubuntu loaded onto an older computer | 05:38 |
| nickrud | Evanlec: and I mean, very cool | 05:38 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, me either! what he crap!@! | 05:38 |
| greencookie | IcePrincessSatyr: You're in good hands. | 05:38 |
| greencookie | IcePrincessSatyr: use the LiveCD:) | 05:38 |
| DerangedDingo | drayveal didn't understand the LiveCD has like 3 different disk management tools. | 05:38 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, is that some way they tweaked gnome on us? | 05:38 |
| manduski | sidlet: how do i go about doing that? | 05:38 |
| stellar7 | any ideas why the update fails on mine? | 05:38 |
| jangari | is there a possibility o creating more shortcuts? | 05:38 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | I'm trying a different platform because I have xp on my computer at the moment, 98 on the "spare" one | 05:38 |
| greencookie | IcePrincessSatyr: I'm new to linux as well, so I might be able to help you out a tad bit. :-) | 05:38 |
| arbitrarystring | hang on, Iceprincesssatyr, just boot from the ubuntu cd... | 05:38 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, even in sessions dialog, if u press help...it indicates that one can add new sessions and name them | 05:39 |
| greencookie | IcePrincessSatyr: Doesn't matter if you have the LiveCD. | 05:39 |
| arbitrarystring | you have to change the boot order in ye olde bios | 05:39 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | I didn't want to have to load windows onto the computer - I did a reformat, but I didn't have a choice | 05:39 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | I don't have liveCD | 05:39 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | I'm downloading it now...I hope | 05:39 |
| sidlet | manduski: System->Administration -> users then check that vs a ls -al in your home dir. do you own everthing there as well as belong to teh user group? Also are the files/folders your attempting to rename reside in a directory you own or have group read/write permissions to? | 05:39 |
| sidlet | IcePrincessSatyr: If your downloading the ISO, thats the first step to getting it installed on that PC | 05:39 |
| jangari | then you should download an iso and burn it to a cd. that'll be your livecd | 05:39 |
| greencookie | IcePrincessSatyr: First get the LiveCD. Life will be easier. | 05:39 |
| === eric is now known as eric|away | ||
| arbitrarystring | get the iso then burn it to a cd | 05:40 |
| jangari | remember to check the checksums | 05:40 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | It's on a disk - I put it in my computer to make sure it was going to run and it did | 05:40 |
| arbitrarystring | then well, thats it | 05:40 |
| someone2005 | Got two questions . | 05:40 |
| sidlet | i'm off to fix my partition tables. bbl | 05:40 |
| greencookie | IcePrincessSatyr: sidlet is right. Plus you might wanna consider tab completion to make sure your conversation is directed to the right person :) (e.g start typing sid then press tab key) | 05:40 |
| helfrez | sidlet, enjoy | 05:40 |
| jangari | oh, the livecd is running IcePrincessSatyr? | 05:40 |
| greencookie | sidlet: gluck:) | 05:40 |

| arbitrarystring | geju, what filesystem is it formated in? | 05:44 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | I even figured out how to get in compaq's topsecret bios to startup from the cdrom, and it was already set that way | 05:44 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | yes, jangari | 05:44 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | I'll do it again and write down the error msg I get | 05:44 |

| nickrud | wine is still officially alpha software, iirc | 05:47 |
| jangari | i wish there was a simple wrapper for xp programs, | 05:47 |
| helfrez | jangari, depends on what you want to do with it, its stable enough to run lotus notes for me at work when needed | 05:47 |
| helfrez | jangari, and windows can barely run that sometimes lol | 05:48 |
| manduski | sidlet: apparently it is not a problem with file permissions because I am able to name and rename files on Thurnar | 05:48 |
| jangari | i only wanna be able to run windows live writer, because, despite being microsoft, it's the best blog editor i've used | 05:48 |
| azimuth | <IcePrincessSatyr>You do know that the download is an iso and should be burt as such, not as data? | 05:48 |
| jangari | mm, yes azimuth | 05:48 |
| lockd | jangari: is that a web app? | 05:48 |
| manduski | sidlet: would it then be a question of re-installing nautilus? Apparently others have had the same problem with Nautilus, but I haven't come across a solution yet | 05:48 |
| jangari | web app? | 05:49 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | yes, azimuth.... copy as image to cd.... check that part of it | 05:49 |
| greencookie | jangari: how bout scribefire extension for Firefox. Tried that yet? | 05:49 |
| lockd | jangari: an application that runs on a web server (and you use it from a browse) | 05:49 |
| jangari | yeah, it's crap | 05:49 |
| jangari | i've tried everything | 05:49 |
| greencookie | jangari: well. I'm satisfied if I can post to my blog from the cli:) heh. | 05:49 |
| jangari | no lockd, offline application | 05:49 |

| jangari | it's a sonofabitch to get | 05:50 |
| jangari | but it's worthwhile | 05:50 |
| lockd | jangari: there are tons of blog editors out there | 05:50 |
| jangari | until someone comes up with something evenhalf as good that's opensource | 05:50 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | I then tried the wubi-cdboot, got an error file of "could not receive some essential files" | 05:50 |
| helfrez | jangari, im really doubting that will happen, if you have a nice enough machine use virtualbox and setup a xp virtual machine | 05:50 |
| jangari | no, helfrez, not enough memory, i'm just giving up | 05:51 |
| helfrez | jangari, there are a boatload of blogging tools, im surprised NONE of them fit your needs | 05:51 |
| jangari | only like three available fromthe universe repository | 05:51 |
| yesha | Allow other users to control your desktop (Checked) | 05:51 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, is there a bug on launchpad or something? | 05:51 |
| jangari | i've tried each of them, najing | 05:51 |
| greencookie | jangari: I agree with helfrez. I just use the blog tools on site:) lol. | 05:52 |
| jangari | scribefire is buggy on linux | 05:52 |
| jangari | well, it appears i'll have to | 05:52 |
| helfrez | hmmm | 05:52 |
| greencookie | jangari: really? I use it to post to my blogger account all the time.. | 05:52 |
| nickrud | Evanlec: haven't looked there yet, I've been reading thru the changelog, haven't seen anything yet | 05:52 |
| * yesha needs to know how to change remote desktop sharing/security settings via ssh? | 05:52 | |
| lockd | jangari: for one app seems kind of silly to give up | 05:52 |
| jangari | if only open office had a publish to blog function that didn't cost ten bucks and was useless anyway | 05:52 |
| * greencookie wonders if yesha is an asian name. | 05:52 | |
| helfrez | jangari, tried all these? http://www.gnomefiles.org/search.php?search=blog | 05:52 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, did u look in the sessions perferences help? it specifically mentions being able to save sessions | 05:52 |
| ArthurArchnix | jangari: We're all well aware of the failures of open source. That's why we're all such big advocates of Windows and try to get people to stop using Ubuntu. There's no need to preach to the quite. | 05:53 |
| jangari | maybe it's a blog service issue, greencookie, i'mon wp.com | 05:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | Choir* | 05:53 |
| jangari | i ain't preaching, | 05:53 |
| bullgard4 | What is the reason that there is no wrudf manual page? | 05:53 |
| lockd | ease of use isn't really the point in most open source projects, though | 05:53 |
| greencookie | ArthurArchnix: lol:) | 05:53 |
| jangari | i'mjust saying it's a shame there aren't better blog editors out there | 05:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | jangari: If there's a specific problem that can be addressed please ask. If you just have general complaints I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. | 05:54 |
| jangari | right, lockd | 05:54 |
| IanLiu | My Ubuntu is creating a folder named "file:" all the time in my home folder.... I delete and after a while it appears again... what is this?? | 05:54 |
| lockd | what sort of blogging software do you use, anyway? | 05:54 |
| jangari | gah! i'm chatting! | 05:54 |
| jangari | right now? | 05:54 |
| WHYask | i guess there arent that many bloggers for ubuntu compared to windows/mac osx.... | 05:54 |
| * greencookie remembers that beggars and losers cannot be choosers. | 05:54 | |
| jangari | WLW on my windows machines and i haven't decided yet on ubuntu | 05:54 |
| lockd | jangari: i mean server | 05:54 |
| jangari | online, wordpress,com | 05:54 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, this bug looks similar, looks like they just took those functions out cuz they werent working: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/6687 | 05:54 |
| someone2005 | Whats a kernel-source -path and whats the best way to add the path to the command line ? | 05:55 |
| nickrud | yesha: you still looking for the remote desktop stuff | 05:55 |
| nickrud | Evanlec: ah, makes sense | 05:55 |
| IanLiu | My Ubuntu is creating a folder named "file:" all the time in my home folder.... I delete and after a while it appears again... what is this?? | 05:55 |
| jangari | okay i gotta go, meeting a mate for a beer | 05:55 |
| DerangedDingo | someone2005: your $PATH is the list of directories bash searches executables for | 05:55 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, that really annoys me tho!, would be so useful! | 05:55 |
| jangari | adios folks, be good | 05:55 |
| osmosis | how come sshd doesnt have a incremental delay features ? | 05:56 |
| greencookie | jangari: have a good one. | 05:56 |
| DerangedDingo | someone2005: so, that would be /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin by default | 05:56 |
| nickrud | Evanlec: yes, it would. That, and a nice gui interface to devilspie. The one thing I really miss from sawfish | 05:56 |
| DerangedDingo | someone2005: 'bin' meaning 'binaries' | 05:56 |
| someone2005 | Yea , I'm going to have to compile these nvid's ? | 05:56 |
| bullgard4 | IanLiu: I don't know. My Ubuntu 7.10 does notcreate such a folder. | 05:57 |
| Evanlec | nickrud, yea....argh, well i spose i could write a bash script that opened the apps i wanted, but how to pass them the state they should be in and their position...? | 05:57 |
| nickrud | Evanlec: devilspie | 05:57 |
| Evanlec | i never understood that app | 05:57 |
| yesha | who's really good with bash? | 05:58 |
| nickrud | Evanlec: like I said, a nice interface | 05:58 |
| yesha | I need to change some settings via ssh | 05:58 |
| Evanlec | lol | 05:58 |
| Evanlec | there's no gui for it? | 05:58 |
| Vladimir32tl | does anyone know anything about 8.04? | 05:58 |
| nickrud | yesha: you still need those commands for the remote desktop? | 05:58 |
| yesha | nick | 05:58 |
| yesha | yes | 05:58 |
| yesha | I know how to do it with gui, but all I can do is login to the box ssh | 05:58 |

| Vladimir32tl | thanks ubotu | 05:59 |
| IcePrincessSatyr | screw it.. I'll stay stuck w/windows I guess | 05:59 |
| nickrud | yesha: let me check one more thing | 05:59 |
| lockd | IcePrincessSatyr: what started? | 05:59 |
| yesha | so I'm sure it's one of these settings not working | 05:59 |

| dav7 | hey... I'm not running ubuntu myself but thought that since my problems could occur on ubuntu I may as well ask. #1, why would setfont think I have 8x32 console fonts when they're only 8x16, and #2, why would Xnest reject a client I try to connect to it? | 06:01 |

| jumbers | Why is it that .WAV files are refusing to play in Audacious under Gutsy? I have the wav plugin installed and enabled, but it will not play them | 06:02 |
| bullgard4 | jrib: Please tell me how it is possible to get a private message from ubotu? I think that ubotu is a bot. | 06:02 |
| irreducibilis | jumbers: Didn't you already ask that? | 06:02 |
| nickrud | yesha: to allow control, gconftool --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/remote_access/view_only false | 06:02 |
| lockd | jumbers: you sure it's not an audio problem, such as sound server? | 06:03 |
| jrib | bullgard4: !FACTOID > RECIPIENT will make ubotu send a private message | 06:03 |

| bullgard4 | jrib: Thank you for answering. | 06:03 |
| Vladimir32tl | its kinda sas that those who have used windows always really know nothing about computers. i guess thats what microsoft wants because if people knew anything about computers people would realize this: hey, linux is better than windows and its free!:) | 06:03 |
| jrib | !ubotu > bullgard4 (read the private message from ubotu) | 06:03 |

| pipelinexpc | crazy channel keeps booting me and I set the port the way it said | 06:06 |
| dav7 | xivanari: oh, I'm having a couple of issues that I've been trying tor resolve for a couple days (not running ubuntu tho) | 06:06 |
| nickrud | ozzloy: have you run a mem test, that's often the reason (was my problem, anyway) | 06:06 |
| ArthurArchnix | jumbers: I see other people are having a similar problem. I'll keep looking into it. In the meantime this link suggests that switching to OSS might solve the problem. http://boards.nenolod.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&p=2792 | 06:06 |
| xivanari | anyone here know how to fix a zoom problem with the zoom on a logitech fusion webcam? | 06:06 |
| ozzloy | nickrud: i have not, i'll try that | 06:06 |
| yesha | nickrud i still can't login :( | 06:06 |
| dav7 | not me | 06:06 |
| xivanari | dav7: that sucks. why are you in the ubuntu channel if you arent running ubuntu? O.o | 06:06 |
| jumbers | ArthurArchnix: Won't OSS cause issues with sharing the audio device though? | 06:07 |
| yesha | nickrud: I can ssh, and can ping through my hamachi tunnel | 06:07 |
| dav7 | xivanari: because #archlinux and ##linux can't help me :P | 06:07 |
| yesha | but i get an immediate can not connect when I try to vnc | 06:07 |
| ozzloy | nickrud: is this something i'll have to do on livecd? | 06:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | jumbers: Yes, it probably will. But it may help us narrow down the problem further, and it should be reversible. So it is worth doing just as a test if you like. | 06:07 |
| xivanari | and does anyone know how to fix the kalarm problem where it wont make any sound | 06:07 |
| nickrud | yesha: I ran that stuff on my machine before I posted it, it toggles the settings you asked for, I'm not real familar with how it actually works | 06:07 |
| graelin | 've managed to set up my mouse well enough to get the expected button mappings in xev, but when I use the tilt wheel (button 6/7) the cursor is relocated to upper left corner of the screen. Any idea why this may happen or where to begin looking? The tilt wheel buttons actually do what I tell them to in firefox, but the teleporting cursor is pissin me off | 06:07 |
| jumbers | ArthurArchnix: I just changed it to OSS and it still will not play | 06:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | jumbers: ok. Thanks for that info. I'm still looking into it. | 06:08 |
| dav7 | lol "teleporting cursor" | 06:08 |
| John_R | anybody know how to set up esd to be accessible via the network? i have 7 machines on my hub, 6 of which are ubuntu machines, and one of them has a 5.` surround system. i would like to share it among all of them | 06:08 |
| jumbers | ArthurArchnix: Okay, thank you | 06:08 |
| nickrud | yesha: like what has to be running on the other machine | 06:08 |
| someone2005 | surround sound sounds like fun... | 06:08 |
| dav7 | agreed | 06:08 |
| John_R | it is | 06:08 |
| dav7 | headphones are also cool too :P | 06:08 |
| someone2005 | Cooooool | 06:08 |
| John_R | man i got duke ellington/john coltrane playing right now and it sounds sweet | 06:08 |
| ArthurArchnix | jumbers: Did you also change your audio settings in addition to your audacious settings? Your audio is probably set to default, but what if it were set to OSS? | 06:08 |
| * dav7 remembers the "next track" button | 06:09 | |
| * dav7 jabs a couple of time | 06:09 | |
| dav7 | s | 06:09 |
| dav7 | repeat can be like that :P | 06:09 |
| jumbers | ArthurArchnix: I just changed my system audio to OSS and it still won't work | 06:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | jumbers: When your done that, switch it back to the original state. Whether it works or not. | 06:10 |
| dav7 | lol | 06:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | jumbers: Ok, see above. | 06:10 |
| pipelinexpc | can gparted live format hfs+? | 06:10 |
| nickrud | I think you need to install vncserver on the other machine | 06:10 |
| sidlet | Does *nix even have HFS+ support? | 06:11 |
| pipelinexpc | no | 06:11 |
| sidlet | i didnt think so | 06:11 |
| jumbers | ArthurArchnix: Okay, I'm back to my original settings. Could it be an issue with the WAV plugin? | 06:11 |
| yesha | how do i manually kill a vnc process? | 06:11 |
| sidlet | ps -aux and then kill -9 the pid | 06:11 |
| greencookie | can't I connect to two separate irc servers from one irssi shell instead of doing screen irssi twice? | 06:11 |
| ArthurArchnix | jumbers: I don't think so... I'm only 20% sure of that though. You say you can't play it, are you opening the file from within audacious, or just clicking on it through thunar? | 06:12 |
| ozzloy | nickrud: but this is ever since upgrading to 7.10, i think it might have something to do with that, not hardware | 06:12 |
| amidaniel | greencookie: Sure you can | 06:12 |
| sahaj | hmm | 06:12 |
| greencookie | hey! irc.ubuntu.com and irc.freenode.net are the same! lollol | 06:12 |
| greencookie | amidaniel: how would I do that? | 06:13 |
| nickrud | ozzloy: it could, yes. I had that happen to me on the pre-releases, but not the final. | 06:13 |
| * amidaniel waves farewell to greencookie | 06:13 | |
| greencookie | sorry got dc. | 06:13 |
| ozzloy | nickrud: T_T i waited for a bit before upgrading to avoid stuff like this | 06:14 |
| jumbers | ArthurArchnix: I've tried both. When I try to click on the file, I receive an "Open File" window despite the file being set to open with Audacious. If I try to add it directly to Audacious by dragging it into the playlist, it won't add it | 06:14 |
| jumbers | ArthurArchnix: Wait a second, if I go to Audacious and click Add, and then add the file that way, it will add to the playlist and is able to be played | 06:15 |
| amidaniel | greencookie: /win new /connect yourserver.com | 06:15 |
| nickrud | ozzloy: but, congruence is not causation, run the memory test anyway :) | 06:15 |
| amidaniel | Is likely the easiest way | 06:15 |

| jumbers | ArthurArchnix: So is this an isolated incident then? | 06:21 |
| nenolod | ArthurArchnix, well I wrote audacious, so i'd be easier to just fix it now | 06:21 |
| nickrud | sidlet: I would add VGA=xxx to menu.lst, except I run ati and framebuffers screw up ati | 06:22 |
| nenolod | jumbers, i wrote audacious... so, this is as good as it gets as far as figuring your problem out :p | 06:22 |
| codeyman | Opiat3: Helped my friend with graphics and network on it few months ago.. | 06:22 |
| OpenGuru | pipelinexpc, i have 2 choices AMD 2600XT or nvidia 8600GT | 06:22 |
| OpenGuru | which one among them is good ? | 06:22 |
| jumbers | nenolod: You want me to run file on a wav file? | 06:22 |
| sidlet | so its VGA=1024x768 is a proper line, correct? | 06:22 |
| riotkittie | sidlet: like vga=xxx ? | 06:22 |
| pipelinexpc | those are both good cards | 06:22 |
| Opiat3 | Well, the laptop uses all these devices (SD Card reader and TouchPad customization) and I fail to find the drivers for them | 06:22 |
| pipelinexpc | the 8600 is probably more likely to work with ubuntu though | 06:22 |
| nenolod | jumbers, on one that it is not playing, yes. | 06:22 |
| nickrud | sidlet: no, VGA=791 , I'll pull up a link of numbers | 06:23 |
| Opiat3 | And it's annoying to have to switch over to WnXP to use them | 06:23 |
| jumbers | nenolod: It's all of them, but here's just one | 06:23 |
| jumbers | nenolod: goodbye.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 8 bit, mono 22050 Hz | 06:23 |
| Opiat3 | I was wondering if anyone had any sort of information on them. | 06:23 |
| sidlet | nickrud: thanks | 06:23 |
| OpenGuru | pipelinexpc, Thanks for the info. Whether compiz fusion is working correctly for you ? | 06:23 |
| pipelinexpc | I didnt try yet | 06:23 |
| greencookie | Have any of you worked ubuntu on this card before: ATI radeon X1300? | 06:23 |
| nenolod | jumbers, audacious only plays 16 bit WAVs | 06:23 |
| OpenGuru | pipelinexpc, thanks | 06:23 |
| pipelinexpc | my osx86 install keeps wiping my ubuntu :( | 06:23 |
| nickrud | sidlet: http://wiki.antlinux.com/pmwiki.php?n=HowTos.VgaModes | 06:23 |
| jumbers | nenolod: I can play it if I deliberately add it from the Audacious Add menu, but not by drag and drop nor by double clicking it | 06:23 |
| nenolod | pipelinexpc, piracy is cool | 06:23 |
| codeyman | opia3:never had problem with those, did you try manually modifying xorg.conf to use more generic values | 06:23 |
| greencookie | pipelinexpc: whats osx86? another operating system? | 06:24 |
| pipelinexpc | monopolies are cooler | 06:24 |
| OpenGuru | pipelinexpc, leopard or tiger ? | 06:24 |
| nenolod | jumbers, oh. you have the sndfile wav plugin then. | 06:24 |
| pipelinexpc | tiger | 06:24 |
| sidlet | http://www.bobpeers.com/linux/mount.php found a list | 06:24 |
| jumbers | nenolod: Yes | 06:24 |
| nenolod | jumbers, sndfile does not like URIs at all. i hate that damn plugin. | 06:24 |
| DerangedDingo | pipelinexpc: for your own safety, do not mention how or where you downloaded it from. | 06:24 |
| jumbers | nenolod: So what am I supposed to do? Because it's a pain to have to go and add a wav through that menu just to be able to play like a 4 second clip | 06:24 |
| greencookie | Is there a way i cna configure irssi's openurl script to open links in elinks instead of w3d on a new screen shell? | 06:25 |
| OpenGuru | pipelinexpc, I had tried it once. Worked like charm. But removed it for Ubuntu :) | 06:25 |
| pipelinexpc | I wont even mention whether or not I downloaded it | 06:25 |
| * nickrud always hated programming for users | 06:25 | |
| DerangedDingo | pipelinexpc: installed it. found the website, whatever. you know :) | 06:25 |
| eltux | How can i get my microphone to work in Ubuntu? I don't think my audio driver is totally set up | 06:25 |
| OpenGuru | pipelinexpc, bye and best of luck | 06:25 |
| ArthurArchnix | nenolod: Haven't i been seeing your name on the audacious forums I'm browsing? | 06:25 |
| Snake | hola | 06:25 |
| WHYask | yeh i cant get a mic to work either | 06:25 |
| nenolod | ArthurArchnix, i wrote audacious. | 06:25 |
| pipelinexpc | might be more like, bought it, but found a patch, but you never know | 06:26 |
| nenolod | ArthurArchnix, :P | 06:26 |
| ArthurArchnix | nenolod: LOL | 06:26 |
| pipelinexpc | I like being a pain in the ass and not violating the spirit of laws even if I might be on the wrong side of the letter | 06:26 |
| ArthurArchnix | jumbers: Today is your lucky day :) | 06:26 |
| riotkittie | you wrote audacious? aw. you are my hero, nenolod. for the next three minutes, at least. | 06:26 |
| jumbers | ArthurArchnix: I'm seeing that :) | 06:26 |
| Sandra24_ | I try logout, but it says there are stopped jobs | 06:27 |
| Sandra24_ | what's that mean, and what can I do about it? | 06:27 |
| sidlet | strange | 06:27 |
| WHYask | zomg thats my fave music prog evaaaaa!!! | 06:27 |
| jumbers | nenolod: Is there any way to work around this issue? | 06:27 |
| sidlet | i go to boot with the vga= line and it just reboots the lappy | 06:27 |
| nenolod | jumbers, convert them to FLAC or something | 06:27 |
| nenolod | provided you are using 1.4, the FLAC plugin is sane ;p | 06:28 |
| jumbers | nenolod: Will there be any native 8-bit support in the future? | 06:28 |
| DerangedDingo | i always liked audacious but it seems to consume several times more memory than XMMS does. it wouldn't matter since I upgraded to 2 Gigs, but whatever. | 06:28 |
| someone2005 | mult-core? | 06:28 |
| yesha | how do i use ps aux to search for a vnc process? | 06:28 |
| nenolod | jumbers, there is some 8 bit support, but it's not very tested. | 06:28 |
| nenolod | DerangedDingo, it stores a lot of metadata about your tracks | 06:28 |
| jumbers | nenolod: Well, I just disabled sndfile and it won't open a 16 bit file wav either | 06:28 |
| nenolod | DerangedDingo, XMMS does not | 06:28 |
| WHYask | lol | 06:28 |
| WHYask | :P | 06:28 |
| riotkittie | xmms is lovely, save for the fact nobody's touched it since whoknowswhen | 06:29 |
| nenolod | jumbers, yes. you either get the sndfile plugin or the native wav plugin. | 06:29 |
| yesha | how do i use ps aux to search for a vnc process? | 06:29 |
| nenolod | riotkittie, 1.2.11 released yesterday. | 06:29 |
| irreducibilis | Wav is so blah... we need 64 bit wavs. :D | 06:29 |
| Gues | cpzzz?gay | 06:29 |
| j4s383 | Hey everyone | 06:29 |
| riotkittie | nenolod: :o | 06:29 |
| pipelinexpc | they have 64 bit waves | 06:29 |
| nenolod | riotkittie, it is the final version of XMMS. there will be no more. | 06:29 |
| irreducibilis | Dammit. | 06:29 |
| irreducibilis | You just ruined my amusement. | 06:29 |
| ArthurArchnix | nenolod: Sorry, I was browsing your help forums and missed your polite dismissal. I humbly yield the floor :P | 06:29 |
| nenolod | riotkittie, before that release notice, they posted a news post about alternatives. | 06:29 |
| jeremysan | Hi all. I have a sound card that Ubuntu is not compatible, but I also have a sound card which is built in to my motherboard that Ubuntu does work with. By default, my PCI sound card is selected, and Ubuntu will not produce sound; is there any way I can disable this sound card and have Ubuntu use my built in motherboard sound card instead? | 06:29 |
| pipelinexpc | reaper writes them...I think audacity will read them | 06:29 |
| jumbers | nenolod: What I'm trying to say is, even with the native plugin, 16 bit wavs are not working | 06:30 |
| nenolod | riotkittie, including audacious :P | 06:30 |
| === imathew is now known as ANTDx1 | ||
| nenolod | jumbers, you don't have the native plugin | 06:30 |
| nenolod | jumbers, the debian package only ships the sndfile plugin. | 06:30 |
| DerangedDingo | lol. i always used to get Audacity and Audacious confused too :P | 06:30 |
| j4s383 | I have a problem I continously get "None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed" when I try to edit my xorg.conf | 06:30 |
| jumbers | nenolod: Oh, is the native plugin available on the audacious forums? | 06:30 |
| nenolod | jumbers, just install audacious-dev and build audacious-plugins (but don't install it) | 06:31 |
| pipelinexpc | can I do a dual boot of two flavors of linux? | 06:31 |
| irreducibilis | pipelinexpc: yes | 06:31 |
| nenolod | jumbers, make sure you build the version of audacious-plugins you already have (in gutsy, this is 1.3.5) | 06:31 |
| riotkittie | pipelinexpc: yes | 06:31 |
| pipelinexpc | the jacklab guys will kick the crap out of my if I dont have JAD on my PC | 06:31 |
| pipelinexpc | but ubuntu RULES | 06:31 |
| pipelinexpc | ok | 06:31 |
| pipelinexpc | do both need to be primary partitions? | 06:31 |
| pipelinexpc | and do both need their own swap partition? | 06:32 |
| === user__ is now known as genii | ||
| jumbers | nenolod: The latest version of audacious-dev is 1.3.2-4 | 06:32 |
| j4s383 | also how can I disable my pc speaker in linux altogether | 06:32 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: If you're installing a new OS on your system you should be aware that data loss and corruption is a possible (though unlikely) outcome. | 06:32 |
| nenolod | jumbers, install audacious-dev, download http://distfiles.atheme.org/audacious-plugins-1.3.5.tgz | 06:32 |
| pipelinexpc | Im wiping the disk | 06:32 |
| hoa3r | quit | 06:32 |
| disinterested | anyone know how to update firmware in a dvd drive? | 06:32 |
| riotkittie | pipelinexpc: no. linux can exist happily in non primary partitions. as for swap, i have 5 or 6 distros sharing /swap and dont have issues. if you hibernate or suspend... might not be the best idea | 06:32 |
| nenolod | jumbers, ./configure; cd src/wav; sudo make install | 06:32 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: ok, jsut mentioned it in case you were attempting to work on a 'work' computer or some such. | 06:32 |
| pipelinexpc | ok I need to do xp/vista/ubuntu/JAD | 06:33 |
| timothywcrane | does anyone know what would be the easiest way to set up an IVR system ? | 06:33 |
| nenolod | pipelinexpc, really, piracy (e.g. using OSX86) is lame | 06:33 |
| nenolod | ;p | 06:33 |
| pipelinexpc | so it wont hurt to make two swap partitions right? | 06:33 |
| pipelinexpc | osing osx at all is lame | 06:33 |
| j4s383 | I have a problem I continously get "None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed" when I try to edit my xorg.conf | 06:33 |
| * genii sips apple juice | 06:33 | |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: Ok, I don't know what jad is but you want to install xp then vista, then ubuntu | 06:33 |
| nenolod | pipelinexpc, i don't disagree | 06:33 |
| pipelinexpc | I bought the damn disk so Im no pirate, but I do understand the legal issues of patching it | 06:33 |
| jasonago | what package again do I need to be able to play vcd in kaffeine? | 06:33 |
| * riotkittie replaces genii's apple juice with coffee and runs away | 06:34 | |
| timothywcrane | anyone familiar with YATE? | 06:34 |
| * irreducibilis replaces riotkittie's coffee supply with green tea | 06:34 | |
| pipelinexpc | I wanted to be able to offer osx support for our mac users but hell with it, that os is a PITA, Im more worried about our growing linux population | 06:34 |
| eltux | is there an aac plus codec for ubuntu? | 06:35 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: Have you considered just installing one OS (say Ubuntu) and then installing the others under a VM? | 06:35 |
| Sandra24_ | is there any way I can figure out what process is stopped? | 06:35 |
| genii | riotkittie: LOL 1:30 am here if I get on caffeine I'll not make it to work tomorrow | 06:35 |
| pipelinexpc | yeah | 06:35 |
| jumbers | nenolod: Okay, I just did all of that | 06:35 |
| eltux | !codecs | 06:35 |

| pipelinexpc | but really, I can get linux running fine with windows so its no biggie | 06:35 |
| sidlet | Passing any vga= lines to grub is causing my laptop to just reboot when i hit b to boot with the altered lines. Any ideas? | 06:35 |
| pipelinexpc | I like having grub too | 06:35 |
| timothywcrane | for codecs check use synaptic and search for gstreamer, there are quite a few | 06:35 |
| nenolod | jumbers, you should have the native wav plugin now too, then. | 06:35 |
| nenolod | jumbers, oh wait. no. | 06:35 |
| nenolod | jumbers, you need to copy libwav.so to ~/.local/share/audacious/Plugins | 06:36 |
| nenolod | (make the directory if it doesn't exist already) | 06:36 |
| pipelinexpc | if windows had grub Id have more hair on my head | 06:36 |
| DerangedDingo | nenolod: do you manage the website? | 06:36 |
| nickrud | sidlet: nope, I just ran across something about vga on ati, tried it, didn't work either ;( | 06:36 |
| nenolod | DerangedDingo, yes | 06:36 |
| j4s383 | Why would my authentication be rejected ??? | 06:36 |
| j4s383 | I have a problem I continously get "None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed" when I try to edit my xorg.conf | 06:36 |
| timothywcrane | anyone used asterisk? | 06:36 |
| irreducibilis | j4s383: Are you sure you are authentic enough? | 06:36 |
| nenolod | DerangedDingo, a newer version (WIP) of website is at http://www-new.audacious-media-player.org | 06:36 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: Ok, if you have real install discs (not just lame factory OS discs) its easy using a gparted live cd to partition your disc, then install each to their correct partition. Install Ubuntu last and grub will take care of the rest (assuming you put it on the MBR and you have one large HD). | 06:36 |
| * riotkittie hugs her ati, which works with vga. thankfully. | 06:36 | |
| j4s383 | How do I disable that dmaned pc speaker too :( | 06:37 |
| sidlet | nickrud: what a bummer.. When i boot with the normal lines, it dumps me into gdm right? I loose all alt-Fx capability. I cant even get to a tty. I'm stuck staring at a "melting" lcd. | 06:37 |
| eltux | how can i get my microphone to work in ubuntu? | 06:37 |
| pipelinexpc | install JAD before ubuntu? | 06:37 |
| nickrud | j4s383: that's a none issue error, try gksudo gedit , that will suppress the text | 06:37 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: I'm sorry, I don't know what JAD is. | 06:37 |
| * greencookie is jealous of riotkittie's ati card since he cant get his to work the way it should. | 06:37 | |
| nickrud | riotkittie: what kard, and screen size, pretty please | 06:37 |
| === iblicf is now known as IBLICF | ||
| jumbers | nenolod: Oh my... I love you. It works perfectly. Thank you very much and thanks for writing Audacity | 06:37 |
| j4s383 | ok thank you but why does my xorg.conf come up blank?? | 06:37 |
| pipelinexpc | JAD is a SUSE version of linux made by the jacklab guys | 06:37 |
| steester | I have a MacBook with Ubuntu and when I extend my desktop to two monitors Compiz no longer works. Is there anyway to fix that? | 06:37 |
| sidlet | well dont feel bad greencookie :P I've got an Nvidia 600 go card and its not working like it should either. | 06:37 |
| === IBLICF is now known as iblicf | ||
| j4s383 | is it supposed to be in "/etc/x11/xorg.conf" ? | 06:38 |
| DerangedDingo | nenolod: okay.. i was at the old one and i noticed some of the text hadn't been updated in a while. for example, in one place it mentioned how Feisty hadn't been released yet. the new website looks nice, btw | 06:38 |
| nickrud | this video stuff over the last year is almost enough to make me pull out the voodoo3 | 06:38 |
| timothywcrane | for ATI cards, try Envy, but be sure to uninstall same drivers using Envy before next distro upgrade to avoid problems with file system forks | 06:38 |
| pipelinexpc | its supposed to run pro audio stuff better out of the box than ubuntu, but my ubuntu nut friend says with the RT kernel ubuntu will be better PLUS have the advantages of synaptic | 06:38 |
| nenolod | DerangedDingo, it's mediawiki. feel free to sign up for an account and edit what's outdated. | 06:38 |
| genii | j4s383: uppercase X there on X11 | 06:38 |
| j4s383 | AH | 06:38 |

| j4s383 | thank you :) | 06:38 |
| genii | np | 06:38 |
| DerangedDingo | nenolod: neat. i coulda swore it looked like a wiki, too | 06:39 |
| j4s383 | how about the pc speaker? any idea how to kill that? its driving me nuts | 06:39 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: Thanks. Yeah, install ubuntu last. | 06:39 |
| irreducibilis | Thank you for helping us help you help us all. | 06:39 |
| riotkittie | nickrud: tis a terribly terrible x300se [but it does what i need it to, which is, admitedly, practically nothing]. 17"/1280x1024 | 06:39 |
| nickrud | timothywcrane: I can get ati working just fine, it's its interactions with the console that sucks | 06:39 |
| tannji | Can anyone help me with a connection sharing problem? (This computer shares a connection with an XP box) | 06:39 |
| nenolod | brb | 06:40 |

| pipelinexpc | ok so Im firing up gparted, gonna do 2 NTFS partitions, not sure what to do for the two linuxes | 06:40 |
| nickrud | riotkittie: i've a 200m, you have better hardware | 06:40 |
| riotkittie | nickrud: it's so rare i hear anybody say that ;) | 06:40 |
| pipelinexpc | I could make a primary for JAD | 06:40 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: wait | 06:40 |
| pipelinexpc | ubuntu doesnt care if its primary or not | 06:41 |
| genii | j4s383: http://snippets.aktagon.com/snippets/10-Disable-pc-speaker-beep-in-Linux use sudo with the command given | 06:41 |
| nickrud | riotkittie: been pricing a new machine, need something for gaming, this laptop is just fine for work but... | 06:41 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: No I know... I've got a lot of experience using gparted. How big is your hard-drive, what are your usage plans, and such? | 06:41 |
| j4s383 | genii:thank you! :D | 06:41 |

| neur1 | does ubuntu's effects have a opaque setting? | 06:42 |
| jpastore | I think I messed up. I accidentally did chmod -R 775 * in /etc and now a few things don't work anymore like they should. I fixed sudo and gksudo, but when I close my laptop it doesn't lock anymore and when I hit the power button I don't get the shutdown dialog | 06:42 |
| pipelinexpc | Im mostly going to be running xp, before when it was xp/vista ubuntu, I did 60 for the xp, 30 for the vista, 30 for ubuntu and 30 ntfs for sharing between os's | 06:42 |
| nickrud | neur1: sure does, in several places , have fun balancing them | 06:42 |
| riotkittie | neur1: compiz-fusion? yea. if you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed, look under General Options | 06:42 |
| pipelinexpc | its 140 or so gig drive | 06:43 |
| neur1 | o.k. thanks | 06:43 |
| === sriyanto is now known as verano | ||
| pipelinexpc | Im thinking of 60 xp/ 25 vista/25 JAD/25 ubuntu and whatever left for the ntfs | 06:43 |
| pipelinexpc | can linux read ntfs now? | 06:44 |
| riotkittie | linux has been able to read ntfs for ... years. | 06:44 |
| nickrud | pipelinexpc: that seems pretty small for vista, I'm running 40 and am bumping my elbows constantly | 06:44 |
| pipelinexpc | its only for testing, I wont be using it really | 06:44 |
| riotkittie | you can write to it as well, with the proper driver | 06:44 |
| j4s383 | genii, I"m trying to follow the steps on that site but it won't let me do it :( | 06:44 |
| pipelinexpc | the test files can be read off the xp drive | 06:44 |
| irreducibilis | Depends on what time zone you are on. On neptune, its probably still unable to read NTFS. | 06:45 |
| j4s383 | "Error: no write permission for file "/etc/modprob.d/blacklist"" | 06:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: pipelinexpc my advice is to make your shared ntfs drive as large as possible. | 06:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | My vista install is about 8GB | 06:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: linux requires even less than XP | 06:45 |
| pipelinexpc | 20 gigs a piece for them then? | 06:46 |
| genii | j4s383: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist then add the line. exit by ctrl-x and save | 06:46 |
| pipelinexpc | 20 for ubuntu 20 for suse? | 06:46 |

| pipelinexpc | ext3 for the linux partitions? | 06:47 |
| j4s383 | thanks everyone! have a great night! | 06:47 |
| genii | yesha: use sudo/gksudu/gksudo etc | 06:47 |
| genii | *gksu | 06:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: And remember, gparted live only let's you have 4 partitions, so you'll need to make xp, vista and ubuntu on the primary paritions, and an extended partition for the rest. | 06:48 |
| genii | bleh I'm feeling the caffeine shortage ;) | 06:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: Also, I'd put the swap and the files in the middle of the partition. | 06:48 |
| pipelinexpc | ok | 06:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: Probably doesn't make a difference, but for read / write averages I put those in the center. | 06:49 |
| pipelinexpc | can i have JAD on a primary but have its linux swap on a extended? | 06:49 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: Yes, my current swap is on an extended. | 06:49 |
| quantum-flux | hmm, how good does americas army run on gutsy/w a radeon card? | 06:49 |
| frederick85 | could somebody see if my lamp server is working on their end? | 06:49 |
| pipelinexpc | so I have xp/vista and JAD on the three primary partitions | 06:49 |
| pipelinexpc | then in the extended I have jad swap, ubuntu swap, ubuntu and share? | 06:50 |
| nenolod | jack is overrated tbh | 06:50 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: Just one swap. | 06:50 |
| pipelinexpc | ok | 06:50 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: Jad and ubunt can share it since they're not both running at the same time. | 06:50 |
| irreducibilis | quantum-flux: Probably not too good. America's army is rather large to run on just one computer. | 06:50 |

| kelvie | I knew my new box was missing something | 06:51 |
| pipelinexpc | what format do I want for linux? | 06:52 |
| pipelinexpc | I dont know the difference between reiser, ext2 and ext3 | 06:52 |
| kelvie | pipelinexpc: I personally prefer ext3 for boot | 06:52 |
| ArthurArchnix | I'd say yes... since you can tweak them for performance. THough, if you're keeping data and temp files on your ntfs you can actually format them to ext2 and reap some performance gains. But in this case, you'd have to change the temp files of your two LInux OS to use folders on the ntfs. Easier is to use ext3 and tweak a bit. | 06:52 |
| kelvie | er ext2 | 06:52 |
| kelvie | and resier for the rest | 06:52 |
| kelvie | reiserfs is really fast for files under 4kb | 06:52 |
| jpastore | I think I messed up. I accidentally did chmod -R 775 * in /etc and now a few things don't work anymore like they should. I fixed sudo and gksudo, but when I close my laptop it doesn't lock anymore and when I hit the power button I don't get the shutdown dialog | 06:52 |
| ArthurArchnix | kelvie: He's an image editor. | 06:52 |
| kelvie | ext2/3 are reliable.. the latter is journalled (read wikipedia if you want to learn about journalled FS's) | 06:52 |
| kelvie | ahh | 06:53 |
| kelvie | xfs then? :P | 06:53 |
| disinterested | is there any dvd drive help in ubuntu servers? | 06:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: Go with ext3 and then google some tweaks like noatime, nodev and different writeback settings. | 06:53 |
| pipelinexpc | ok | 06:53 |
| devilhan | ArthurArchnix, can you please help me out? | 06:54 |
| devilhan | :) | 06:54 |

| wnet | j | 06:59 |
| j4s383 | I don't get any audio out of my speakers :( might it be because I have alsa and gnome alsa installed? I have an audigy 2 zs | 06:59 |
| genii | weird, wheres ubotu | 06:59 |
| genii | ah nvm | 06:59 |
| fjdskjllame | http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=938&topic=39588091 - here is what happened to my impress, i dont know how to fix it | 07:00 |
| sagar | i installed lotus symphony, and then removed it...but my openoffice files still use the lotus icons, no matter what theme i use..how can i change the lotus icons back to the regular open office icons? | 07:00 |
| Phill | Any ideas on configuring my mouse? What program to use specifically? | 07:01 |
| Phill | It's a wireless USB. | 07:01 |
| pipelinexpc | I gotta figure out how to turn off #&$%*^%(^&*) tap to click in ubuntu | 07:01 |
| j4s383 | when I open gnome alsa mixer it doesn't recognize my audigy 2 soundcard only some sigma thing, why would that be? | 07:01 |
| j4s383 | I've got the sound problem fixed :$ | 07:02 |
| drgeb | which ALSA driver version is this j4s383 ? | 07:02 |
| devilhan | ndiswrapper screw up my Gutsy | 07:02 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: What does that mean... tap to click? | 07:02 |
| devilhan | can anyone help? | 07:02 |
| fjdskjllame | you mean like a touchpad? | 07:02 |
| pipelinexpc | with laptops some pads have a thing where tapping on a pad can act like a left click | 07:02 |
| j4s383 | I'm using gnome mixer 0.97 | 07:02 |
| Phill | I can figure out how to do most of them - but the keys for left and right mouse steer [you can tap the mouse scroll wheel left and right] isn't showing up in xev. | 07:02 |
| genii | j4s383: See if: lsmod|grep emu10k1 reports anything | 07:02 |
| drgeb | I am just in the process of compiling alsa-driver-1.0.15 | 07:02 |
| pipelinexpc | in an unfriendly config system like linux that means you can accidentally uninstall features that you cant get back without the net or the disc | 07:03 |
| mogra | does compiz still not work in the newest fglrx? | 07:03 |
| pipelinexpc | yeahtouchpad | 07:03 |
| genii | mogra: exactly :/ | 07:03 |
| j4s383 | genii:what am I looking for here? | 07:03 |
| fjdskjllame | like when you try to move your mouse and it clicks on something and opens it? | 07:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: >system >preferences >touchpad uncheck tap to click | 07:03 |
| fjdskjllame | i have the same problem | 07:03 |
| mogra | genii: pity :( | 07:03 |
| pipelinexpc | sweet | 07:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: CORRECTION: | 07:03 |
| genii | j4s383: If: lsmod|grep emu10k1 in a terminal produces a line which shows this driver is loaded | 07:04 |
| genii | or just back to command prompt | 07:04 |
| mogra | genii: spare me 110$ for the nvidia replacement for this laptop? xD | 07:04 |
| j4s383 | genii:it shows a bunch of stuff for me | 07:04 |
| geju | any risk in turning off the system beep? | 07:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | pipelinexpc: >system >preferences >mouse >touchpad then "tap to click" uncheck, | 07:04 |
| greencookie | that sucks! I'm trying to configure flgrx for my radeon x1300 so I can use compiz. | 07:04 |
| j4s383 | which is better to use anyway Alsa mixer or the gnome alsa mixer? | 07:04 |
| genii | j4s383: Ok, good. The correct driver is loaded at least | 07:04 |
| devilhan | Can anyone please help? | 07:05 |
| j4s383 | the normal alsa mixer sees my audigy | 07:05 |
| MilitantPotato | Is getting gutsy proposed updates risky or worthwhile? | 07:05 |
| greencookie | devilhan: whats the problem? | 07:05 |
| devilhan | having problem booting even in recovery mode | 07:05 |
| geju | any risk in turning off the system beep? | 07:06 |
| genii | MilitantPotato: worthwhile | 07:06 |
| greencookie | geju: none that I know off:) | 07:06 |
| Phill | geju; You won't hear the lovely POST code. | 07:06 |
| devilhan | after I added 2 lines to modprobe.d/alsa-base to use ndiswrapper | 07:06 |
| Phill | geju; Telling you that your computer is a-ok. | 07:06 |
| Phill | geju; Not like it actually helps though ;-) | 07:06 |
| devilhan | Gutsy just throws me into infinite loop even booting up in recovery mode | 07:06 |
| MilitantPotato | genii: what's the advantage? | 07:07 |
| Phill | @devilhan: Does it say anything? | 07:07 |
| devilhan | yes, screens after screens of message | 07:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: Can you link to the instructions you were following, and explain why you were trying to do that? I ask because ndiswrapper is for wireless, but alsa is for sound. I'm confused. | 07:07 |
| devilhan | all say the same thing " bug scheduleing while atomic, .................. | 07:08 |
| genii | MilitantPotato: you get the latest patches before they migrate into main/universe/muliverse | 07:08 |
| greencookie | devilhan: have you tried removing/commenting out those two lines of code u addedd? | 07:08 |
| Cpudan80 | Has anyone tried mounting samba shares with Gutsy? | 07:08 |
| permanoia | how do you set --geometry for gnome-terminal? (whats the format?) | 07:08 |
| Cpudan80 | If so, do you need to include the domain name as part of the username? | 07:08 |
| Cpudan80 | Like in windows, the username is really domain | 07:09 |
| Cpudan80 | errr domain\user | 07:09 |
| MilitantPotato | genii: so they're not beta or untested correct? | 07:09 |
| devilhan | greencookie | 07:09 |
| devilhan | that is exactly what I want to do | 07:09 |
| devilhan | but I can't even boot into a command line | 07:09 |
| genii | Cpudan80: perhaps just try in nautilus smb://ipaddress/ | 07:09 |
| peacepipejv | aye way, help. Set up a Gutsy to gutsy network. Machine to machine ping succesful. No internet share | 07:09 |
| ryan_ | Question, I am using k9copy to backup DVD's at the moment in 7.10... I backup to ISO format so if the original is scratched I can just burn a new copy. Is there an application that can play these ISO files as if they were an actual DVD? | 07:09 |
| MilitantPotato | VLC | 07:10 |
| genii | MilitantPotato: Well, some are. But your apt preferences is normally set not to install the unstable/testing branches anyways | 07:10 |
| ryan_ | TY MilitantPotato | 07:10 |
| MilitantPotato | and I believe kaffeen | 07:10 |
| MilitantPotato | np | 07:10 |
| genii | so they are excluded anyways | 07:10 |
| MilitantPotato | ah ok :) | 07:10 |
| devilhan | I did these: 1. blacklist ipw2200 (the wireless driver) | 07:10 |
| mogra | is there any reason "to" run fglrx? | 07:10 |
| peacepipejv | need help with internet sharing | 07:11 |
| MilitantPotato | mogra: for 3D accelleration support in newer ATI cards | 07:11 |
| Cpudan80 | genii: Can you still use smbfs for the automount, or is that not good anymore? | 07:11 |
| devilhan | 2. install windoze xp driver for intel BG2200 | 07:11 |
| genii | mogra: what the potato sez | 07:11 |
| genii | Cpudan80: you can of course use that in the fstab if you like | 07:12 |
| j4s383 | thank you for your help! | 07:12 |
| mogra | MilitantPotato: does a Mobile Radeon 9700 fall into "newer"? | 07:12 |
| j4s383 | night! | 07:12 |
| * mogra doubts it, the card is 5 years old... but never know... | 07:12 | |
| Phill | radeon 9700 should be fully supported with it's binary driver by now. | 07:12 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: You can boot the live cd and repair, but if were talking about a clean install you'd find it easier to just reinstall. Repairing requires you to know how to log in as root (sudo) using the live cd, find the parition of your ubuntu install (using sudo fdisk -l) mount the damaged partition, open the damaged file, comment out the changes, save then reboot. That's fine if you have it beside you and this computer open, we c | 07:12 |
| genii | No not newer.my 9800 was "older" | 07:12 |
| MilitantPotato | !radion | 07:13 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about radion - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:13 |
| MilitantPotato | !radeon | 07:13 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 07:13 |
| Phill | @devilhan I suggest you use a seperate /home directory on your next clean install | 07:13 |
| pipelinexpc | ugh gotta get my wireless running in ubuntu too :( | 07:13 |
| pipelinexpc | not looking forward to that | 07:13 |
| frederick85 | I'm trying to set up a lamp server behind a router, and the external ip address works when I look on the local network but everybody else said it doesn't work | 07:13 |
| Phill | pipelineexpc: What kind of wireless? | 07:13 |
| * ArthurArchnix seconds phill's suggestion | 07:14 | |
| pipelinexpc | broadcom something | 07:14 |
| pipelinexpc | ndis gtk does fine | 07:14 |
| nenolod | ArthurArchnix, would you like to know where our real IRC channel is? | 07:14 |
| mogra | mmk, then I'm disabling fglrx >.> | 07:14 |
| pipelinexpc | its just still very hard for me to figure stuff out in linux | 07:14 |
| genii | frederick85: Because internal machines are not port-blocked | 07:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | nenolod: lol... you saw my fup then? | 07:14 |
| nenolod | ArthurArchnix, the freenode one is a decoy for Genpoo losers | 07:14 |
| Phill | pipelineexpc: You mean wireless networking? | 07:14 |
| pipelinexpc | yeah | 07:14 |
| MilitantPotato | mogra: fglrx is for radeon 9500 pro and above | 07:14 |
| * ArthurArchnix hangs head in shame | 07:14 | |
| devilhan | AurhurArchnix, so it is possible to use the live cd and log in as root | 07:14 |
| Phill | pipelineexpc: Mine worked out of the box - I think. | 07:14 |
| nenolod | ArthurArchnix, irc.atheme.org same channel | 07:14 |
| nenolod | ;p | 07:14 |
| devilhan | to modify a file in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base? | 07:14 |
| nenolod | you can use /newserver in xchat | 07:15 |
| Phill | pipelineeepc: at least the usb wireless "probe" worked - I couldn't connect to my own network due to my very paranoid security settings. xD | 07:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | nenolod: I'll see if I can figure it out. | 07:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | nenolod: BTW, thanks for a great program. | 07:15 |
| greencookie | or /win new /server in irssi :) heh | 07:15 |
| devilhan | Phill, what is the advantage of a separate /home directory | 07:16 |
| Phill | Devilhan; Everything. =P | 07:16 |
| devilhan | :) | 07:16 |
| Phill | Devilhan; You're personal folders are saved. | 07:16 |
| scguy318 | devilhan: if you reinstall it wont wipe your /home | 07:16 |
| Phill | Devilhan; Even after a new isntall etc. | 07:16 |
| Phill | install* | 07:16 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: First, yes. You can use the live cd to login as root. | 07:16 |
| genii | sleep time...night all | 07:16 |
| patbam | gah, no sound on my laptop or my desktop :( | 07:16 |
| nenolod | ArthurArchnix, oh. you use Gaim. | 07:17 |
| nenolod | ArthurArchnix, I'm sorry to hear that. | 07:17 |
| MilitantPotato | mogra: you'll probably like the new ATI drivers you download from ATI's website | 07:17 |
| FalandA | nobody remember golden duck movie from oldies :)))) | 07:17 |
| devilhan | well, ArthurArchnix, thanks for the help, if you can point me to a guide somewhere I will be good to go on my own | 07:17 |
| Phill | Devilhan; I'd just redownload the alternate cd and do a fresh install - why the alternate? To tell me how good that oh so new encrypted harddisk is. | 07:17 |
| ArthurArchnix | nenolod: I'm sorry if I deciedved you. | 07:17 |
| Phill | @Devilhan; YOu should also make a / /home and /boot directories all in all. | 07:17 |
| nenolod | ArthurArchnix, with Pidgin/GAIM, you add a new account, Protocol: IRC, set your nick, set server to irc.atheme.org, and then join #audacious like you do #ubuntu | 07:17 |
| Phill | @Devilhan ; DO NOT ENCRYPT /boot | 07:18 |
| pipelinexpc | I wish they made gaim for mobiles :( | 07:18 |
| Phill | I thought they did. | 07:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: Do you have files that you need to save from your messed up install? | 07:18 |
| devilhan | Phill, thanks for the help, I will surely do so next time I install | 07:19 |
| Phill | Like; a text based gaim thing? | 07:19 |
| pipelinexpc | yeah | 07:19 |
| devilhan | ArthurArchnix, unfortunely yes I have a couple | 07:19 |
| mogra | MilitantPotato: you mean AMD's website? | 07:19 |
| Phill | @devilhan; I can tell you how much each one needs to be | 07:19 |
| mogra | ;) | 07:19 |
| Phill | @devilhan; I suggest making boot small, less then half a gig would probably be more than enough | 07:19 |
| Phill | @devilhan; then /root should be pretty big; and /home should be the other pretty big one. | 07:20 |
| MilitantPotato | mogra: same thing :) | 07:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: Wait a tic... you said you get pages and pages of errors... when? | 07:20 |
| Phill | @devilhan; Think as /home as "Documents and Settings" of Windows; and / as well - C:\ | 07:20 |
| drgeb | in my .xsession-errors file I see tons of statemets with: ** (gnome-panel:8127): WARNING **: ** (gnome-panel:8127): WARNING **: invalid source position for horizontal gradient | 07:20 |
| devilhan | ArthurArchnix, when I boot into recovery mode, after it is loading device drivers | 07:20 |
| drgeb | how can I fix this ? | 07:21 |
| mogra | MilitantPotato: my question was on Compiz compat w/ the new drivers from AMD's website, anyone gotten it working? | 07:21 |
| Phill | @devilhan Do you have the drivers? | 07:21 |
| ArthurArchnix | So you never get to a login screen, either in recovery mode or in a normal boot? | 07:21 |
| mogra | MilitantPotato: I tried with the "restricted modules" ones, not tha tI expected that to work. | 07:21 |
| devilhan | ArthurArchnix, exactly | 07:21 |
| ArthurArchnix | ok, sounds like Phil has got you covered. | 07:21 |
| Phill | ArthurArchnix; NO; don't put this on me; I'm a networking person :P | 07:22 |
| peacepipej1 | I need a little help w/internet sharing | 07:22 |
| Phill | ArthurArchnix; I know up to POST; A+ certifications are jokes as you know ;-P | 07:22 |
| devilhan | ArthurArchnix, at one point, out of dumb luck, I was able to get to the command line, but still don't have permission to edit the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file, even when using sudo! | 07:22 |
| ArthurArchnix | Phill: Isn't this essentially a networking problem? (Y) | 07:22 |
| Tyroazard | Finally. | 07:22 |
| Tyroazard | My video card came back | 07:23 |
| Tyroazard | <3 | 07:23 |
| devilhan | :) | 07:23 |
| Phill | ArthurArchnix; Not being able to booT? wtf? | 07:23 |
| daedric | Tyroazard was she on vacations? ;D | 07:23 |
| * ArthurArchnix meant that to be a thumbs up, but it kinda looks like a bum. | 07:23 | |
| Phill | LOL | 07:23 |
| devilhan | lol | 07:23 |
| Tyroazard | No, she died D: | 07:23 |
| Phill | Devilhan; I suggest... checking your last boot file thing; if you can go into the command line. | 07:23 |
| daedric | SHE WHAT? | 07:23 |
| daedric | ASSASSIN!!! | 07:23 |
| Tyroazard | She died. | 07:23 |
| daedric | MURDERER! | 07:23 |
| Tyroazard | D: | 07:24 |
| devilhan | well, thanks for all the help guys | 07:24 |
| devilhan | I am getting ready to just reinstall | 07:24 |
| devilhan | :( | 07:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: Do you have two computers? the broken one and one you can use and talk to us on? | 07:24 |
| devilhan | yes | 07:24 |
| devilhan | I have two | 07:24 |
| devilhan | :) | 07:24 |
| MilitantPotato | mogra: what does fglrxinfo say in terminal? Mesa or ATI? | 07:24 |
| Phill | Devilhan; It's dmesg to check. | 07:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: That's good. | 07:24 |
| peacepipej1 | mine was kidnapped. Shes still missing. Been two years | 07:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: Toss in the live cd into the broken system' | 07:24 |
| devilhan | yep I just did | 07:24 |
| Tyroazard | Okay.. now.. 4 weeks away from ubuntu | 07:24 |
| Phill | @devilhan: See if the livecd can boot up :P | 07:24 |
| Tyroazard | How do I use Wine, again? | 07:24 |
| devilhan | it is up and running on live cd | 07:24 |
| Tyroazard | ... | 07:24 |
| Tyroazard | >.> | 07:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: Got a flash drive devil? | 07:25 |
| Phill | @Tyroazard: Random drag and drop with frequent; erratic mouseclicks got it working for me. | 07:25 |
| Phill | @Tyroazard: I was tipsy. :) | 07:25 |
| daedric | peacepipej girlfriend? :D | 07:25 |
| devilhan | ArthurArchnix, yes | 07:25 |
| Tyroazard | Bah, I used terminal. | 07:25 |
| Tyroazard | Now, what did I do? | 07:25 |
| mogra | MilitantPotato: ATI | 07:26 |
| ArthurArchnix | K, what we'll do its get your files off, do a reinstall, and then not try and fix wireless until you get some trustworthy advice. | 07:26 |
| Phill | @Tyroazard: I used Automatix to get it for me; Opened up the fake little windows thing and drag and dropped the files I needed in their pseudo positions and isntalled. | 07:26 |
| peacepipej1 | no, my vid card | 07:26 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: Let me know when you're at your live desktop. | 07:26 |
| Tyroazard | Automatix | 07:26 |
| Phill | @ArthurArchnix: Wireless; Please tell me what about wireless? | 07:26 |
| Tyroazard | ? | 07:26 |
| devilhan | ArthurArchnix, cool, well i should be able to do that on my own. :) | 07:26 |
| devilhan | Thanks for all the great help, guys | 07:27 |
| devilhan | good night | 07:27 |
| Tyroazard | *searches* | 07:27 |
| Phill | devilhan: Wait; you have a wireless problem? | 07:27 |
| ArthurArchnix | Phill: :) That's why I said this is your area. | 07:27 |
| peacepipej1 | Is Automatix supported here now? I heard it was part of the plan | 07:27 |
| Phill | devilhan: TELL; I want to know xD | 07:27 |
| Phill | ArthurArchnix: Cisco studies are usually very Windows based sadly =( | 07:27 |
| pipelinexpc | I sure hope JAD isnt going to be a PITA to install | 07:27 |
| devilhan | I had a problem with my intel BG2200 on my dell x300 laptop | 07:27 |
| Phill | ARthurArchnix: SO much for CCNA and Discovery =( | 07:27 |
| Cpudan80 | Ok -- so Im trying to connect to a samba share with ubuntu... | 07:27 |
| devilhan | It works great, but after suspend and wake up | 07:27 |
| devilhan | it stops working | 07:27 |
| ArthurArchnix | Phill: I can't believe he wants to log off at this point. LOL] | 07:27 |
| Cpudan80 | I typed smb://server/share in the connect to box -- but no dice | 07:28 |
| Phill | @Devilhan; That's something with HAL I think | 07:28 |
| peacepipej1 | Anyway, Im having a internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip | 07:28 |
| devilhan | So I heard that using ndiswrapper, with windows driver | 07:28 |
| Phill | @Devilhan; like; you should check into the power suspending. | 07:28 |
| Cpudan80 | It's a protected share that requires a user/pass combo - if that makes a difference | 07:28 |
| MilitantPotato | mogra: it worked then. | 07:28 |
| Phill | @Devilhan I hear it's a frequent problem - and I can't remember any fixes off hand - googleing... | 07:28 |
| mogra | `compiz --replace` results in "Checking for Xgl: not present." | 07:28 |
| devilhan | well, according to many, windows driver with ndiswrapper will fix that | 07:29 |
| devilhan | so I thought I will give it a try | 07:29 |
| devilhan | :) | 07:29 |
| pipelinexpc | here comes the vista install ugh | 07:29 |
| mogra | pipelinexpc: spare yourself the torture | 07:29 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: Ndiswrapper is a hack. You should try the right way first. Then, if that fails, ndiswrapper. | 07:29 |
| amir_ | Is there a way to automatically mount my secondary hard drive without having to access it, then putting iin my password? | 07:29 |
| pipelinexpc | heh | 07:29 |
| Phill | @devilhan: I was able to get suspend to disk working under Ubuntu Gutsy (had to unload ndiswrapper and usb modules so they would restore, but the computer wouldn't freeze in any case). | 07:29 |
| amir_ | Is there a way to automatically mount my secondary hard drive without having to access it, then putting iin my password? | 07:29 |
| pipelinexpc | I HAVE to have vista on for testing :( | 07:29 |
| Phill | @devilhan; I don't know what that is. | 07:30 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: And you should never, never use use ndiswrapper settings in your alsa.conf | 07:30 |
| ArthurArchnix | :) | 07:30 |
| pipelinexpc | its a huge PITA because I cant figure out how to keep it from switching soundcards on you | 07:30 |
| Phill | @devilhan but it had something to do with suspending. | 07:30 |
| mogra | pipelinexpc: ew | 07:30 |
| devilhan | I see | 07:30 |
| peacepipej1 | Im having a internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip | 07:30 |
| Tyroazard | Hehe, 72 updates availible. | 07:30 |
| Tyroazard | This oughta take a while. | 07:30 |
| Phill | pipelineexpc: Vista has it's pluses - I just can't think of any positive ones right now. | 07:30 |
| devilhan | suspending and waking up works really great, except the after waking up, the wireless card is not even detected | 07:30 |
| amir_ | ^^^kickass search features | 07:30 |
| pipelinexpc | linux is easier, most soundcards just plain wont run on it so I dont have to worry | 07:30 |
| amir_ | I went from Vista to Ubuntu and never going back | 07:30 |
| pipelinexpc | the jacklab guys take care of figuring who does what | 07:30 |
| Tyroazard | I liked Vista | 07:30 |
| devilhan | if I do a ifconfig, all I see is the lo adapter | 07:30 |
| amir_ | You run Ubuntu for one week then go back to vista and go | 07:31 |
| devilhan | don't see any eth0, eth1 | 07:31 |
| amir_ | HOLY DAMN THIS IS SOOOOO SLOOOW | 07:31 |
| sidlet | sudo apt-get -d build-essential <- whats wrong with this command? | 07:31 |
| Tyroazard | But the new 7600GT driver broked | 07:31 |
| Phill | pipelineeexpc: Vista... the thing I like about it is that you need a lot of memory and good video cards to make it work - it's an excuse to upgrade ;-) | 07:31 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: Have you reinstalled, or are you using the livecd right now? | 07:31 |
| Tyroazard | And I got BSOD's | 07:31 |
| Tyroazard | And now I'm on here. | 07:31 |
| pipelinexpc | heh | 07:31 |
| modu | amir_: its not that slow if you reboot it every 3-4 days :p | 07:31 |
| mogra | Phill: not if I have to pay for that upgrade. | 07:31 |
| Phill | pipelineeexpc: Then I can get something better then Geforce4 MX; maybe something with PIXEL rendering; OMG. | 07:31 |
| devilhan | I am trying to get the files I need on the usb drive | 07:31 |
| devilhan | then I will reinstall | 07:31 |
| elkbuntu | pipelinexpc, the use of automatix itself isnt supported, but the developers are working around funky things like the legalities etc that has prevented integration in the past, to make the functionality available natively | 07:31 |
| devilhan | :) | 07:31 |
| greencookie | devilhan: did it show you wlan0 or eth0 before installing ndiswrapper? | 07:31 |
| amir_ | Anyone know of any Contact Management software, like ACT.. or VTiger? I got vTiger but have not used it.. no idea why it doesnt work | 07:31 |
| Phill | @Mogra; It's a way to make me feel less guilty about 175 bucks. =) | 07:31 |
| peacepipej1 | Im having an internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip | 07:32 |
| devilhan | I am sure it is eth0 | 07:32 |
| amir_ | or Video Editing similar to Camtasia or Premiere? | 07:32 |
| devilhan | actually wait | 07:32 |
| devilhan | I am not really sure | 07:32 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: Do you know how to get those files off? | 07:32 |
| mogra | hmmm | 07:32 |
| amir_ | Anyone here like mayonaiise? | 07:32 |
| Phill | devilhan: I think it should be wlan0 | 07:32 |
| Phill | amir_ The food? | 07:32 |
| Phill | amir_: If the food - No. | 07:32 |
| mogra | I'd think if you wanted PIXEL rendering, you wouldn't feel guilty about 175 bucks even without the Vista being some "excuse" | 07:32 |
| devilhan | I think it is wlan0 too | 07:33 |
| amir_ | There's a prog called Mayonaise? | 07:33 |
| amir_ | no f*ckin way! hook me up | 07:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | Phill: devilhan hasn't even gotten his files off his old partition yet, nor has he reistalled yet, talking about eth's and wlan's is probably just confusing at this point. | 07:33 |
| mogra | amir_: it makes sammiches | 07:33 |
| mogra | ? | 07:33 |
| amir_ | i dont care what it does I just want to tell my friends "yeah, well I use Mayonaise. Makes a hell of a lot of difference" | 07:33 |
| pipelinexpc | heres how I use vista: Check the mail, if theres a soundcard in the mailbox, open it up, install it, run it thru its paces, write down whther it works or not...if it works, put it back in the package, send it back...if it doesnt, call the manufacturer, beg, plead, if it works soon after that, back in the box back in the mail..if it doesnt work, hold on to it for a while and see if the... | 07:33 |
| pipelinexpc | ...drivermaker wants to fix it, then back to xp to do work | 07:33 |
| devilhan | Arthur, :) you are right, I need help getting those files off | 07:33 |
| amir_ | what about pot? | 07:33 |
| devilhan | it is saying that I dont' have permission to read the file | 07:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: No worries. one thing at a time mate. | 07:33 |
| punsad | anyone here use linux for webdevelopment? I'm just curious what tools people use | 07:34 |
| amir_ | punsad: Dreamweaver | 07:34 |
| ArthurArchnix | post the output of fdisk -l | 07:34 |
| Phill | @punsad: VI or Emacs for the hardcores. | 07:34 |
| foug | how can i change the number of sides on my desktop cube? I don't see the option in Desktop Cube or Rotate Cube settings | 07:34 |
| amir_ | i think like mx or dreamweaver 8 | 07:34 |
| amir_ | but that's not web development :) | 07:34 |
| punsad | amir_: that's what I thought :) | 07:34 |
| devilhan | punsad, what kind of web development? | 07:34 |
| Phill | amir_: What do you mean? Everything by hand baby. | 07:34 |
| mogra | punsad: vim+LAMP | 07:34 |
| amir_ | Is there a way to automatically mount my secondary hard drive without having to access it, then putting iin my password? | 07:34 |
| mogra | it's all I need :3 | 07:34 |
| punsad | Phill: I seriously am using vi and firefox for my two tools. | 07:34 |
| Phill | amir_: Though; I honestly prefered Notepad++ on Windows. | 07:35 |
| Phill | punsad: Ownage. | 07:35 |
| punsad | Phill: oh just hobbist type stuff. blogs/wordpress/php stuff | 07:35 |
| amir_ | Phill, how do you quote someone without having to type the name in? | 07:35 |
| amir_ | Phill, how do you quote someone without having to type the name in? | 07:35 |
| mogra | punsad: check out the web development plugins for firefox, and firebug | 07:35 |
| amir_ | balls, sorry for double posting | 07:35 |
| Phill | amir_: not a clue? | 07:35 |
| punsad | mogra: thanks.. will check it out | 07:35 |
| devilhan | oh no, Arthur is gone! | 07:35 |
| timothywcrane | does anyone know how to record touchtone numbers from IVP system to file for order taking? | 07:35 |
| Phill | punsad: I suggest trying to get something like -... the developers extension for firefox? | 07:35 |
| amir_ | Does anyone here like el pollo loco? I'm having some trouble ordering food. | 07:36 |
| ArthurArchnix | devilhan: Not quite yet.. but soon | 07:36 |
| timothywcrane | I have no idea of whrt protocol to google | 07:36 |
| devilhan | :) | 07:36 |
| mogra | I don't care about anything else, www.getfirebug.com f'ing rocks | 07:36 |
| Phill | punsad: It's like - the one that has web developer stuff - in fact I think it's called Web Developer Extension... | 07:36 |
| Phill | punsad: That and the built in DOM thing with nano worked fine for what I did; or gedit. | 07:36 |
| rasczak | does it put in a bunch of crappy code? | 07:36 |
| Csaba | is there a driver issue with Nvidia cards under ubuntu, i cant change res | 07:37 |
| mogra | Phill: yea, there's a firefox-webdevelopers package in buntu | 07:37 |
| punsad | I'm afraid I'm hooked on vi, for better or worse | 07:37 |
| pipelinexpc | whats automatix? | 07:37 |
| Phill | mogra: It's ownage; though I haven't done anything with developing since what? Seventh grade? | 07:37 |
| Tyroazard | Hmeh | 07:37 |
| Tyroazard | Is there any way to get virtual paging for Ubuntu? | 07:37 |
| Tyroazard | I want moar. | 07:37 |
| Phill | pipelineexpc: It installs some restricted stuff really easily. | 07:38 |
| pipelinexpc | ahh | 07:38 |
| peacepipej1 | Im having an internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip | 07:38 |
| peacepipej1 | Im having an internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip | 07:38 |
| mogra | Phill: It's what I do. That's why I recommend Firebug and the WebDev plugins for FF | 07:38 |
| Phill | pipelineeepc: like Wine and etc. | 07:38 |
| Phill | mogra: Yeah; I'm just using Java and Eclipse these days. | 07:38 |
| pipelinexpc | I cant wait to try the new wineasio build :) | 07:38 |
| Phill | mogra: If only I could get Eclipse to compile -,- | 07:38 |
| punsad | I find wysiwyg too invasive to the code. It just throws in all this crap.. nvu isn't as bad, from what I saw, but it still does some | 07:38 |
| Phill | mogra: [My java programs that is] | 07:38 |
| peacepipej1 | Im having an internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip | 07:38 |
| ArthurArchnix | punsad: Get out... really? Wow. It took me a good 1/2 to figure it out. Raised on word processors though, so there was nothing more counter-intuitive then visudo in my life. | 07:38 |
| timothywcrane | if you have any plans on upgrading your distro in the future, do not use automatix. There is no reason to use it in gutsy, it offers nothing, if you use it in fiesty, you will have to uninstall anything you used it for to get a decent ugrade later | 07:39 |
| Phill | punsad: Editing by hand is the way to go ;-) | 07:39 |
| mogra | btw, phill, punsad, the firefox-webdevelopers package also installs firebug, just fyi | 07:39 |
| ArthurArchnix | 1/2hour | 07:39 |
| timothywcrane | what distro are you using? | 07:39 |
| elkbuntu | Timon_Crazy, sometimes even that's not enough because of some of the alterations it makes | 07:39 |
| Phill | timothywcrane: I hadn't had any problems with it from Edgy to Gutsy. | 07:39 |
| pipelinexpc | Im gonna do jad and ubuntu | 07:39 |
| Phill | Just to lazy to install Eclipse by myself. xD | 07:40 |
| Timon_Crazy | elkbuntu, hello! | 07:40 |
| devilhan | brb, smoking time | 07:40 |
| Phill | Night all - Bed. | 07:40 |
| timothywcrane | some peolple don't it depends on your hardware, it has a tendency to create forks in your file system from on upgrasde to another can cause conflicts | 07:40 |
| peacepipej1 | Im having an internet sharing prob. I can ping the host but I cant ping external ip | 07:40 |
| timothywcrane | but I agree Phill, some people were not affected by this | 07:40 |
| punsad | ArthurArchnix: Oh.. I can figure it out, I just like having more control of the source code | 07:40 |
| elkbuntu | Timon_Crazy, sorry, tab complete booboo... it was ment for timothywcrane | 07:40 |
| punsad | peacepipej1: is the host another computer in your home? | 07:41 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: yup | 07:41 |
| acu | can you make a vesa driver display 1440X900 resolution (wide) ? I have an NVIDIA GEFORCE 7150 and I cannot make it work | 07:41 |
| punsad | peacepipej1: can host ping external ip? | 07:41 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: both are Gutsy. Had em hooked earlier but I did a fresh Gutsy install on client | 07:42 |
| Jordan_U | acu, Why are you using vesa? | 07:42 |
| punsad | peacepipej1: can the host ping external ip? | 07:42 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: its this one. Im hooked to the internet now | 07:42 |
| Timon_Crazy | elkbuntu, ))) | 07:42 |
| peacepipej1 | this ones the host | 07:42 |
| * mogra does all his coding in Vim, testing on server, debug with webdev-plugins for FF. | 07:42 | |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: but ill check to be sure | 07:42 |
| Varka | acu: http://www.nobell.org/~gjm/pc/aspect.html | 07:42 |
| mogra | I find if I hand code it, it just works better. | 07:43 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: host can ping external ip. I pinged google | 07:43 |
| * Jordan_U uses ed, when I'm not just compiling in binary ;) | 07:43 | |
| modu | Quick question, is all that berylstuff on by default in the desktop installation? | 07:43 |
| punsad | peacepipej1: how did you set up nat? it's been so long since I did that. I remember using ipchains with 2.2 kernel , then iptables when 2.4 kernel came around. :) | 07:43 |
| Varka | modu: depends on the hardware used | 07:44 |
| greencookie | how do I refresh the userlist of a room in irssi? | 07:44 |
| modu | Varka: ah, okey | 07:44 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: nat? both are set to static ip | 07:44 |
| Jordan_U | modu, With Gutsy, yes Compiz is installed by default if possible, but only with basic, not too flashy effects | 07:44 |
| punsad | peacepipej1: ???? did you set up NAT? | 07:45 |
| modu | Jordan_U: that sounds good, thanks | 07:45 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: i dont know what you mean by NAT | 07:45 |
| modu | greencookie: are you using the nicklist.pl plugin? if not just do /names | 07:45 |
| devilhan | Arthur, still around? | 07:45 |
| punsad | peacepipej1: if you are going to use the linux box as a router, then ... well you need to set it up as a router. this means network address translation and ip route tables | 07:46 |
| qball680 | Hi there, I'm running Ubuntu on a hard drive that I know is low performance i.e. always in PIO Mode in "that other operating system" is there an equivalent to looking at the IDE channel and seeing if I'm in DMA Mode 5 or something?? | 07:46 |
| modu | qball680: I think hdparm is what you are looking for | 07:46 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: ll i did last earlier today was set up static ips for both host and client. Host is connected via cdma | 07:47 |
| peacepipej1 | to the inrternet | 07:47 |
| qball680 | thank you | 07:47 |
| Jordan_U | peacepipej1, If you don't know what NAT means then you probably want to use Firestarter to set it up | 07:47 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: Iam using firestarter | 07:47 |
| pipelinexpc | time to burn the JAD iso | 07:47 |
| Jordan_U | peacepipej1, Also install dhcp3-server | 07:47 |
| greencookie | Anyone play planeshift here? | 07:47 |
| greencookie | !planeshift | 07:48 |
| iyan | gfh | 07:48 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about planeshift - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:48 |
| acu | Jordan_U I cannot make this card being recognized - I have to use vesa insetead of nv | 07:48 |
| mogra | greencookie: I played for like... 20 minutes | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | acu, Have you tried the "nvidia" driver? | 07:48 |
| greencookie | mogra: lol me too! | 07:48 |
| greencookie | mogra: but we're out of choices when it comes to mmorpg on linux:) if u dont use wine:D | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | acu, And can you pastebin the errors you get when you try to use nv? | 07:48 |
| mogra | greencookie: it has potential, but it's still too early in development if they even ever finish it. | 07:49 |
| neur1 | don't laugh but I can't find the panel settings, to add or resize | 07:49 |
| greencookie | mogra: you mean its not the final release yet? | 07:49 |
| mogra | greencookie: rumor of Earth Eternal getting a Linux client. *is hopeful* | 07:49 |
| Jordan_U | neur1, Right click the pannel | 07:49 |
| mogra | greencookie: heck no, I DL'd the "newest" one and they said "This is still in development!" | 07:49 |
| greencookie | mogra: would you recommend any mmo games for linux for me? i get bored at work. | 07:49 |
| punsad | peacepipek1: in case you are curious to learn more an EXCELENT tutorial is at http://aboutdebian.com/proxy.htm | 07:49 |
| neur1 | can't too much junk on it | 07:50 |
| greencookie | mogra: lol I know they only have 1 server and around 300 ppl online at tht time. | 07:50 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: is that really necessary with static ips. Im only using two computers | 07:50 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: i was sharing earlier, nothing is different with the host from earlier. | 07:50 |
| punsad | does anyone else remember ipchains? | 07:50 |
| sidlet | punsad: vaguely | 07:50 |
| mogra | greencookie: I do like that there are more than just "go kill these monsters and brings me their l00ts!" quests in PS | 07:50 |
| modu | before my days | 07:50 |
| greencookie | mogra: lol I found the training area so boring, I just had to stop:) | 07:50 |
| sidlet | MMO's are too repeditive for my taste | 07:51 |
| sidlet | I get tired of linear gameplay | 07:51 |
| mogra | greencookie: they say it gets bettera fter training area, my reason is I didn't have time to finish the training area | 07:51 |
| greencookie | sidlet: tried WoW? | 07:51 |
| greencookie | brb | 07:51 |
| sidlet | greencookie: long time ago. its linear as well :P | 07:51 |
| Csaba | whats the best way to get divx/xvid running? | 07:51 |
| mogra | sidlet: linear? o.O oook | 07:51 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: ill check it out. I had it working until i did a fresh install on the client. I was able to update everything via a windows host | 07:51 |
| sidlet | greencookie: i'm an oblivion player | 07:51 |
| sidlet | mogra: yah. Grinding = WoW | 07:51 |
| punsad | peacepipej1: well.. you need to use your firewallstarter or whatever setup screipt that was that you mentioned. It's probably a wrapper for iptables | 07:52 |
| Jordan_U | Csaba, Open the file in Totem :) | 07:52 |
| mogra | sidlet: I don't WoW, I find pride in that fact. | 07:52 |
| Csaba | tells me i havent got the codec | 07:52 |
| Jordan_U | Csaba, If you are using Feisty or newer it will install the codecs you need for you | 07:52 |
| sidlet | mogra: pat yourself on the back :) | 07:52 |
| punsad | peacepipej1: sounds like you had it set up at one point and it's broken now | 07:52 |
| greencookie | sidlet: isnt that on 360? | 07:52 |
| Csaba | jordon.. should i install the w32codecs? | 07:52 |
| sidlet | greencookie: yah | 07:52 |
| greencookie | mogra: lol No wow? I'm a wow crackhead. | 07:52 |
| Jordan_U | Csaba, You shouldn't need them for divx and xvid | 07:52 |
| mogra | sidlet: but when I think linear I think like... Final Fantasy. | 07:52 |
| greencookie | mogra: *WAS | 07:53 |
| mogra | greencookie: I'm sorry to hear that. | 07:53 |
| sidlet | greencookie: i unfortunatly cant afford one of those. I opted into this lappy instead of 360 :P | 07:53 |
| sidlet | mogra: thats linear to the extreme | 07:53 |
| greencookie | sidlet: Dude, I have been dying to play that game but too poor to get 360 yet:) | 07:53 |
| greencookie | sid oh lol. | 07:53 |
| sidlet | greencookie: your lappy may run it :P mine does | 07:53 |
| mogra | mine runs Oblivion well, I like it. | 07:53 |
| greencookie | sidlet: I have inspiron b130 w/o wine. | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | Csaba, ffmpeg should play divx, "sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg " | 07:54 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: yup, im not sure whats different. Ecerything looks the same as before. I can ping the host from the client but I cant ping external ip from the client | 07:54 |
| sidlet | greencookie: i'm dual booting with vista FOR oblivion :P | 07:54 |
| greencookie | I need to get oblivion. sudo apt-get install oblivion?:) hehe | 07:54 |
| mogra | sidlet: I'm sorry to hear that 5 letter word. | 07:54 |
| greencookie | sidlet: my lappy has ONLY *nix | 07:54 |
| greencookie | :( | 07:54 |
| Jordan_U | Csaba, But it should have reccommended that automatically, what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 07:54 |
| sidlet | mogra: i'm not :P i gave up on gaming in nix. Its getting there but not there yet. | 07:54 |
| greencookie | sidlet: I dual boot my desktop with vista FOR WoW:) hehe | 07:54 |
| Csaba | jordan. gutsy | 07:55 |
| greencookie | sidlet: mogra: do you guys SNES? | 07:55 |
| jepe | hi all | 07:55 |
| mogra | sidlet: I don't game on PC, so I really don't care. | 07:55 |
| greencookie | brb | 07:55 |
| Jordan_U | Csaba, Strange, do you have gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed? | 07:55 |
| mogra | Not hardcore gaming, anyway. | 07:55 |
| Csaba | jordan, yeah, i just did that now, its working, cheerz | 07:55 |
| sidlet | greencookie: you better beleive it. I have a mod'd xbox :P | 07:55 |
| mogra | The games available for Nix, Tremulour, Nexuiz, etc etc, are enough for me. | 07:55 |
| punsad | peacepipej1: well... you'll need to trouble shoot your 'Firestarter' setup. | 07:56 |
| sidlet | zsnexbox > * | 07:56 |
| neur1 | thanks again | 07:56 |
| mogra | eh, Wii it on the SNES/NES/Genesis games. | 07:56 |
| modu | wow, gnome looks so much better when it isnt run in 1024x768 | 07:56 |
| punsad | peacepipej1: I just did a google search on Firestarter and it is just a frontend for iptables. The link I gave you lays it all out in plain english in what's going on under the hood | 07:57 |
| jepe | hi all- i want install joes (ubuntu) in a vmware-ser virtual machine but the install stop at 73 % ? | 07:57 |
| mogra | modu: ain't that right, tho? XD | 07:57 |
| Jordan_U | peacepipej1, What is the ip of the client / gateway ( box which is "sharing" the connection ) ? | 07:57 |
| punsad | To be honest, since the dawn of wifi routers, I just use that instead of my linux box as the router | 07:57 |
| mawanli | YYY | 07:57 |
| qball680 | thank you modu, hdpard is showing me exactly what I wanted to know about hard drive dma statuses | 07:58 |
| Jordan_U | jepe, What do you mean by joes? | 07:58 |
| JDSBlueDevl | hi, things are better from last night, but now I have new problems | 07:58 |
| qball680 | er:hdparm I mean | 07:58 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I think compiz is corrupted | 07:58 |
| mogra | punsad: I find issues doing that. Linux is a much more reliable router, so I use it with a switch and a USR Access Point set on MAC Whitelisting | 07:58 |
| greencookie | sidlet: sweet. modded xbox aawesome | 07:58 |
| sidlet | greencookie: you running feisty or gutsy? | 07:58 |
| Jordan_U | mogra, Might as well get a linux router from linksys then :) | 07:58 |
| greencookie | sidlet: i was too much of an enthuiast to be stuck with fiesty:) | 07:58 |
| terry__ | where can I find this chat's logs? | 07:58 |
| JDSBlueDevl | all of a sudden, I lost the bars at the top of the windows | 07:59 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: client 192.168.50.2 | 07:59 |
| JDSBlueDevl | then when I rebooted, GNOME was just working with Metacity | 07:59 |
| punsad | I've had no problems with my el-cheapo dlink 624 | 07:59 |
| mogra | Jordan_U: it's cool they are using "linux", but LS's hardware sucks, IMO. | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | mogra, The "tomato" alternate firmware is great | 07:59 |
| qball680 | I tried to upgrade from Edgy from Feisty but got an error about some file check failure and internetconnetion int the | 07:59 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I rebooted again, and now I'm getting errors about starting the GNOME settings daemon | 07:59 |
| qball680 | course that was a fresh install | 07:59 |
| devilhan | JDSBlueDevl, you need to enable the "windows decorator" in compiz | 07:59 |
| ANTDx1 | qball680, are you sure you'reconnectedto the internet? | 07:59 |
| Csaba | why cant i change my desktop res? | 07:59 |
| greencookie | Jordan_U: agreed with mogra | 07:59 |
| JDSBlueDevl | well, now I can't even get back into GNOME | 08:00 |
| Jordan_U | mogra, In what way? | 08:00 |
| greencookie | JDSBlueDevl:whats the problem? | 08:00 |
| terry__ | does anyone know where to find this channels log files? | 08:00 |
| punsad | some of these wifi routers actuallyruns linux/iptables under the hood. | 08:00 |
| jepe | sorry jeos is a ubuntu-7.10-jeos-i386 lite distrib | 08:00 |

| jepe | for virtual machine | 08:00 |
| dmi3on | can any one help i dont understand were to change code | 08:00 |
| greencookie | Jordan_U: I cant get my wireless card or ati card to work properly:) and IMO that sucks bigtime, but i can sacrifice those temporarily:D | 08:00 |
| JDSBlueDevl | something about Process /usr/lib/gnome-control-center/gnome-settings-daemon exited with status 127 | 08:00 |
| mogra | I'd gone through three "Linux Linksys" routers before deciding their ROM memory just sucks. Every time the littlest thing happenned, it would forget it's settings. | 08:01 |
| ANTDx1 | qball680, try the old-fashioned way, and change all of your repositories to "gutsy" then do "sudo apt-get update", "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 08:01 |
| devilhan | Phill? you there? | 08:01 |
| jepe | Jordan_U, sorry jeos is a ubuntu-7.10-jeos-i386 lite distrib for virtual machine | 08:01 |
| mogra | So I opted for settings to be written to harddrives instead. | 08:01 |
| Jordan_U | mogra, Did you try alternate firmware or are you sure it was a harware problem? I have had no problems with Tomato | 08:02 |
| JDSBlueDevl | right now, I'm in failsafe terminal, trying to aptitude update and upgrade | 08:02 |
| greencookie | guys whats failsafe DM for? | 08:02 |
| qball680 | ah ha! The upgrade is working now. I figured I needed to restart after a fresh install and update | 08:02 |
| Jordan_U | greencookie, When for whatever reason X does not start with the current xorg.conf settings three times in a row, it sets the values to vesa and low rez which is likely to always work | 08:03 |
| Jordan_U | greencookie, Oh, sorry, thought you said failsafe GDM | 08:04 |
| mogra | Jordan_U: whatever it was, the problems disappeared when I stopped using LS and just used a used Dell w/ 2 NICs. | 08:04 |
| Jordan_U | greencookie, ... Or did you? | 08:04 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, update showed no difference | 08:04 |
| Csaba | how do i update to a newer nvidia driver? | 08:04 |
| pc08 | hai | 08:04 |
| devilhan | Csaba, use envy for nvidia driver | 08:05 |
| JDSBlueDevl | still don't know what's up | 08:05 |
| greencookie | Jordan_U: I've never played with session manager at login to check the failsafe option. I was wondering what that was for | 08:05 |
| punsad | peacepipej1: Did you try using 'Firestarter' to diagnose the problem. it is, after all, a gui. Try runninf Firestarter to see if theres some obvious setting that's wrong | 08:05 |
| nephlim | hey guys | 08:05 |
| pc08 | hallooo | 08:05 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I think I'm having trouble logging into KDE as well | 08:05 |
| devilhan | Csaba, google envy, it takes care of all the installation stuff for you | 08:05 |
| greencookie | Jordan_U: I'm actually gonna go ahead and try that right now. | 08:05 |
| toresn | hello, i've just installed a flash player-plugin for mozilla... how do i use the same plugin for opera? | 08:05 |
| Csaba | cheerz devilhan | 08:05 |
| osmosis | how do I setup snmpd.conf on hosts so I can use cacti? | 08:05 |
| nephlim | is there a way to "pretty-up" the way i change from workspace to workspace? | 08:05 |
| devilhan | :) | 08:05 |
| louie_ | hey. i've got a question, maybe you guys can help. i've been googling for this but havent found anything useful. i'm trying to set up dual head, but the monitors are being read in reverse order of windows, and since i am dual booting, that would be a bit of a pain. i figured that changing the screen order in the xorg.conf file would fix it, but nothing has done the trick. any thoughts? thanks in advance. | 08:05 |
| Jordan_U | Csaba, If you don't have any pressing need to I wouldn't, if you do want to though: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 08:06 |
| JDSBlueDevl | seems like Xfce is also not loading | 08:06 |
| peacepipej1 | punsad: firestarter is running. If DHCP is not selected it tells me eth0 isnt proper. If it is enabled it works fine | 08:06 |
| pipelinexpc | here comes my JAD install :) | 08:06 |
| mandh | i have strange problem , the cpu idle about 80% , but when try to execute command like ps -aux , it take long time ? | 08:06 |
| Csaba | jordan. i cant change my desktop res | 08:06 |
| nephlim | like a skin or something to make the change look cooler, like a rotating or shifting workspace | 08:06 |
| greencookie | Jordan_U: nvm. I thought it was another displaymanager. silly me. heh. | 08:06 |
| JDSBlueDevl | trying reboot now | 08:06 |
| kaddy | hi everyone | 08:07 |
| nephlim | hi kaddy | 08:07 |

| kaddy | hi dude | 08:07 |
| kaddy | i was hoping i can get a little help in here for a problem i got | 08:07 |
| toresn | could anyone help me out? | 08:07 |
| anas | hi, how can I know what services are up in ubuntu? | 08:07 |
| toresn | (i'm a newbie) | 08:08 |
| sidlet | anas: ps aux | 08:08 |
| devilhan | Csaba, are you familiar with the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:08 |
| mandh | ere4si, top dont work at all , coz it take long time , i dont know why , i only can use vmstate 1 16 for example | 08:08 |
| === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd | ||
| punsad | anas: scripts in /etc/rc2.d are a good hint | 08:08 |
| qball680 | Hi again, when I run 'sudo hdparm -c /dev/hda I see that I'm in 16-bit mode? Does this mean DMA or PIO or something different? | 08:09 |
| Csaba | devilhan, not really, i havent used a linux distro for 5 years or so | 08:09 |
| punsad | anas: assuming you are in runlevel 2 | 08:09 |
| jepe | thanks by | 08:09 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, after boot, no error message, but taskbars appear and disappear | 08:09 |
| devilhan | Csaba, so I guess first you should try using envy, it is easy to install and upgrade your nvidia drivers using that | 08:09 |
| louie_ | linux and windows are reading my monitors in reverse order, and i can't get the xorg.conf file to display the correct thing on the correct monitor. | 08:09 |

I have around 4 native linux games, and with all of them.... about 10 mins into gameplay, they minimise to a small window and then i can't do anything anymore. anybody know a fix for this? | 08:10 |
| Evanlec | anyone know how i can convert a .uif image file into an ISO? | 08:10 |
| devilhan | Csaba and if you have problem changing resolution, look into /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you can google for instruction about how to change resolution that file, pretty straightfoward | 08:10 |
| sidlet | Evanlec: the only way i got that to work was to wine MagicISO | 08:10 |

| Jordan_U | JDSBlueDevl, Can you "xinit" ? | 08:11 |
| bptm | anyone know of a way to ramp up the power from a USB port (I've got my phone plugged in, but without the windows drivers the USB port outputs less power and it refuses to charge) | 08:11 |
| punsad | Evanlec: uif is just the opposite of what the three letter acronym suggests. (universal iso format) | 08:11 |
| JDSBlueDevl | login screen is working now | 08:11 |
| Evanlec | sidlet, u paid for it? 30 day trial? | 08:11 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I can now login to xfce, so that's progress | 08:12 |
| Evanlec | punsad, okay? | 08:12 |
| kaddy | nobody got a solution to my problem? j:9 | 08:12 |
| ComPro | hey. i've got a question, maybe you guys can help. i've been googling for this but havent found anything useful. i'm trying to set up dual head, but the monitors are being read in reverse order of windows, and since i am dual booting, that would be a bit of a pain. i figured that changing the screen order in the xorg.conf file would fix it, but nothing has done the trick. any thoughts? thanks in advance. | 08:12 |
| punsad | iso is already as universal as it gets :) | 08:12 |
| kaddy | :( | 08:12 |
| sidlet | Evanlec: i bought it | 08:12 |
| punsad | Evanlec: it's a proprietary format | 08:12 |
| Evanlec | sidlet, oh my word, im def not doin that | 08:12 |
| kd7swh | can virtualbox open vmware files? | 08:12 |
| mandh | ere4si, it is running server , i cant stop it | 08:12 |
| JDSBlueDevl | trying KDE next | 08:12 |
| sidlet | Evanlec: heh ;) | 08:13 |
| Evanlec | whew, i just moved /boot to its own partition, that was not easy ;p | 08:13 |
| kd7swh | I don't want to have to reinstall vmware if virtual box will open vmx files | 08:13 |
| devilhan | Evanlec, is it really a lot of work? | 08:13 |
| JDSBlueDevl | hmm, kdesktop crashed | 08:13 |
| pipelinexpc | Im at the JAD install screen I can install or install acp[i disabled or local acpi disabled | 08:13 |
| pipelinexpc | what is that and why do I care? | 08:13 |
| Evanlec | devilhan, well, if u know what ur doing its not, i kinda knew what i was doing, but mostly followed a howto | 08:14 |
| ubunturos | kaddy: well, games is one of those areas where distributions need improvement | 08:14 |
| thenetduck | does anyone know if there is a way to update your MSI Motherboard's firmware in Linux? | 08:14 |
| punsad | sidlet: maybe you can shed some light - is there any reason for the uif format to exist other than making money fo magiciso? | 08:14 |
| ere4si | mandh: you might have to - worst case scenario would be someone else is controlling it... | 08:14 |
| Evanlec | devilhan, i ended up havin to boot off the livecd several times to make adjustments to grub | 08:14 |
| sidlet | nope | 08:14 |
| Evanlec | punsad, i highly doubt it | 08:14 |
| sh3l1 | can someone please assist me in getting beryl set up? i have an ATi x1550 | 08:14 |
| sidlet | its like this. Warez kiddies are too stupid to use OSS | 08:14 |
| devilhan | Evanlec, interesting, do you have a link to the howto? :) btw, how do I private message someone? | 08:15 |
| Evanlec | i cant believe they do that crap, there's nothing wrong with ISO's, they work fine, stop making stupid cd-image formats | 08:15 |
| ere4si | mandh: are there log files to read? | 08:15 |
| sidlet | they figure if you have to pay for it it must be good | 08:15 |
| JDSBlueDevl | now kdeinit can't start | 08:15 |
| mandh | ere4si, the server is mail server | 08:15 |
| sh3l1 | devilhan ./msg <name> | 08:15 |
| sidlet | UIF = ISO with proprietary stuff in it. I'd rather have a NRG or an ISO. But i bought magiciso just incase I ever needed it. | 08:15 |
| Evanlec | devilhan, type ' /msg <nick> <message>' or find them in the user list and hit open dialogue | 08:15 |
| sidlet | and I have needed it a few times here and there | 08:15 |
| kaddy | Anybody know how to stop native linux games from minimising to a small window during gameplay? when it does you cant do anything and have to reboot x. its annoying. ubuntu 7.10 here | 08:15 |
| kd7swh | 1100 people in here and nobody can tell me if virtualbox will open a vmx that is sad | 08:16 |
| devilhan | ./msg Evanlec so what are the advantage of having a separate partition for the home drive, beside you don't lose data if your OS crashes? | 08:16 |
| kaddy | well try it for yourself | 08:16 |
| sh3l1 | don't put the . | 08:16 |
| mandh | ere4si, and running mta-courier i can read the log file easily but when try to exectue some commands like ls or ps , top it take long time, using vmstate appear that cpu idle 80 % | 08:16 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, so here's the thing. I can log in to Xfce fine. With KDE, kdeinit won't run, and when it does, kdesktop crashes | 08:16 |
| devilhan | ./msg Evanlec just wondering if it is worth it for me to go through that, haha | 08:16 |

| Jordan_U | pipelinexpc, Ulually not well, I havn't found one distro that deals with others being installed well, it's very dissapointing :( | 08:26 |
| pipelinexpc | uh oh | 08:27 |
| sn0n | does mIRC work on winbuntu ? | 08:27 |
| sn0n | i call winbuntu because sheep.exe runs on | 08:27 |
| Evanlec | mirc is blasphemy around here | 08:27 |
| HardandFast | does not compute | 08:27 |
| Evanlec | lol | 08:27 |
| sn0n | winbuntu runs mirc?? | 08:28 |
| sn0n | and sheep.exe!! | 08:28 |
| Arafangion | There is frankly no good reason for mirc to even exist today, now that we have xchat and irssi. | 08:28 |
| JDSBlueDevl | thx, that worked, I think | 08:28 |
| sn0n | i convert now | 08:28 |
| HardandFast | HardandFast = hungry | 08:28 |
| sn0n | someone help me to install | 08:28 |
| pipelinexpc | chatzilla | 08:28 |
| pipelinexpc | neener! | 08:28 |
| sn0n | my root password for vista box is brain714 | 08:28 |
| Jordan_U | pipelinexpc, I would either A: install GRUB to the partitions rather than the MBR then use GRUB ( or another loader ) on the MBR to switch between them or B: look at the current SUSE / Ubuntu menu.list so that you can add the entries to the other, not that with B you will have to update the entries with every new kernel | 08:28 |

| Lapinux | I'm looking for some help with a grub error 17, non booting system. I believe it has to do with having a ide drive being picked up in the bios before the sata which i installed as raid. Anyone up for giving some help? | 08:34 |
| Jordan_U | briansk1, Yes, in your xorg.conf set composite to disable | 08:34 |
| djsonik | I'm having a problem removing my botched OSS drivers: http://djsonik.pastebin.com/m60857250 | 08:34 |

| ComPro | i can't paste it in at the moment. i'm running from outside X at the moment and i dont know how to do that, if it's even possible. | 08:35 |
| briansk1 | because of aiglx i guess | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | briansk1, WHy do you think it's AIGLX? | 08:35 |
| FalandA | nobody play counter strike on ubuntu ? | 08:35 |
| briansk1 | Jordan_U: had the same problem on feisty when i tried to install beryl | 08:35 |
| axjv | Jordan_U: That site says that he has xserver packages. Does that mean that there's a way that indirect OpenGL can work with xorg? | 08:35 |
| djsonik | FalandA: try WINE | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | briansk1, AIGLX shouldn't slow anything down if you aren't using it | 08:35 |
| briansk1 | hmm maybe i'll just try a fresh install from cd | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | briansk1, What drivers are you using? | 08:36 |
| briansk1 | Jordan_U: yeah i know, but it does - windows open veeeery slowly | 08:36 |
| briansk1 | Jordan_U: fglrx | 08:36 |

| djsonik | FalandA: Did you install WINE? | 08:37 |
| briansk1 | Jordan_U: yeah i'll try that then. thx | 08:37 |
| Jordan_U | briansk1, But if your card needs fglrx for direct rendering then it won't be supported | 08:37 |
| FalandA | djsonik: no | 08:37 |
| briansk1 | Jordan_U: yeah i don't care about compiz | 08:37 |
| FalandA | djsonik: cant i play counter without it ? | 08:37 |
| briansk1 | i just want to get my x config unhorked | 08:37 |
| JDSBlueDevl | does anyone know how to bring up the command window? Alt-F2 isn't working | 08:37 |
| Jordan_U | !xconfig | briansk1 | 08:37 |
| ubotu | briansk1: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes | 08:37 |

| toresn | how do i get sound to work in opera (on e.g. youtube)? | 08:38 |
| briansk1 | i'm hoping it's related to something i did back when i was twiddling with beryl on feisty | 08:38 |
| Jordan_U | briansk1, That will give you exactly what you would get with a fresh install as far as the xorg.conf is concerned | 08:38 |
| briansk1 | Jordan_U: yes i know | 08:38 |
| briansk1 | but i remember something about symlinking shared libraries and changing the gnome boot procedure and all sorts of stuff | 08:39 |
| Jordan_U | briansk1, Do you have XGL installed? That could do it | 08:39 |
| djsonik | FalandA: Not that I know of | 08:39 |
| Ghost_ | would you use Grub toboot vista or should i use the new M$ loader to boot vista and nix distor | 08:39 |

| tfoyd | do you have a "working" KDE | 08:39 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I'm trying to get the command window, but Alt-F2 doesn't work | 08:39 |

| daedric | nevermind then :) | 08:40 |
| greencookie | JDSBlueDevl: after Alt-F2 try Alt-Tab | 08:40 |
| JDSBlueDevl | yeah, it's listed | 08:40 |
| Jordan_U | briansk1, sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg | 08:40 |
| JDSBlueDevl | Alt-Tab is just the window switcher | 08:41 |
| JDSBlueDevl | Alt-F2 isn't working | 08:41 |
| briansk1 | Jordan_U: yeah i do have xserver-xgl installed | 08:41 |
| === sahaj is now known as greencookie | ||
| Jordan_U | briansk1, sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg | 08:42 |
| briansk1 | Jordan_U: yep doing that now. thanks | 08:42 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I'm trying to get compiz running again without doing it through the terminal | 08:42 |
| JDSBlueDevl | but Alt-F2 doesn't work | 08:42 |
| briansk1 | then just re-install it and reconfig and you think i'll be good? | 08:42 |
| briansk1 | JDSBlueDevl: alt-f2 works for me, but sometimes the window comes up in the back | 08:42 |
| briansk1 | so i have to alt-tab to get to it | 08:42 |
| JDSBlueDevl | it works in Xfce, but not GNOME | 08:43 |
| JDSBlueDevl | funny the panel applet works, though | 08:43 |
| Jordan_U | briansk1, re-install XGL? or was that comment reffering to something else? | 08:43 |
| JDSBlueDevl | well, that worked, I guess | 08:43 |
| briansk1 | err - no i was asking if you meant remove xserver-xorg and then re-install it | 08:44 |
| JDSBlueDevl | although now with it running, the title bars got chopped off again | 08:44 |
| JDSBlueDevl | arrgh, the title bars in compiz are chopped off! | 08:44 |
| max_ | hi...i've got ubuntu 7.10 and it doesn't recognise the dvd recorder and the cd recorder..what can i do? | 08:45 |
| Evanlec | JDSBlueDevl, happens all the time | 08:45 |
| Jordan_U | briansk1, No, if you re-install it you will have the same problems, and yes, they are likely caused by your old scripts conflicting with the ones the Gutsy XGL package installs by default | 08:45 |
| JDSBlueDevl | how do I fix it? | 08:45 |
| FalandA | Balaams_Miracle: are you there brother? | 08:45 |
| JDSBlueDevl | just started happening after the update that I thought fixed my problems from last night | 08:45 |
| Jordan_U | briansk1, In fact there is a possability that you are running one XGL session on top of another on top of Xorg :) | 08:45 |

| FalandA | can i install every exe file ? | 08:57 |
| JDSBlueDevl | does anyone here know how to get the titlebars in compiz working again? | 08:57 |
| daedric | you can't INSTALL | 08:57 |
| tamer | internet connectation sharing | 08:57 |
| djsonik | it works with windows exe files | 08:57 |
| daedric | copy will be easier :) | 08:57 |
| Lapinux | daedric: i have 1 ide drive, that is ntfs with existing files that i left alone, then 2 drives, i created /boot on the first 512mb of one sata drive, then 512mb swap on the beginning of the second drive, the free space on each of those was then made raid 0 | 08:57 |
| FalandA | :S | 08:57 |
| FalandA | anyway windows exe files why cant i install every exe file | 08:57 |
| FalandA | forexample which can i install and cant i ? | 08:57 |
| daedric | Lapinux should be ok then. but groub needs to stay on the ntfs drive if i understand correctly :) | 08:58 |
| FalandA | can you give me examples? | 08:58 |
| tanlaan | nephlim: Yea, I used to know of one but I can't recall the name. It was a really good one, it partitioned the screen so you had your buddy list and your area to chat, and you could easily switch between the "open" chat boxes | 08:58 |
| daedric | FalandA you can't installl. installers will have dificultie working. But you can copy them. | 08:58 |

| amidaniel | FalandA: With absolutely no personal experience, I can say counterstrike doesn't usually work under wine (from what I've heard). You'd likely be better off setting up vmware or the like | 09:00 |

| JDSBlueDevl | hello? can anyone help me with my titlebars in compiz? | 09:05 |
| cowbud | nephlim: need more detaisl | 09:05 |
| JDSBlueDevl | forums didn't help | 09:05 |
| cowbud | ls | 09:05 |
| JDSBlueDevl | no one is in #compiz-fusion | 09:05 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: set your depth to 24 instead of 32 | 09:05 |
| JDSBlueDevl | how? | 09:05 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:05 |
| cowbud | DefaultDepth 24 | 09:06 |
| JDSBlueDevl | it already is 24 | 09:06 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: ati or nvidia? | 09:06 |
| nephlim | cowbud, i do " ssh foo@foo.blah.com", via terminal, do usual bbs stuff. if i'm idle for too long, it's unresponsive, have to re-log in | 09:06 |
| cowbud | if you say ati you are done | 09:06 |
| JDSBlueDevl | nvidia | 09:06 |
| Lapinux | daedric: if you can check out http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44984 and i have no idea why it thought there was another os, unless it sees something on the mbr of the ide drive where i might of had windows installed a while back...? | 09:07 |
| srtawberry_ | hy | 09:07 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: fresh isntall? | 09:07 |
| JDSBlueDevl | no, upgrade from Feisty via update-manager | 09:07 |
| cowbud | nephlim: do you get a shell or is it a straight up bbs? | 09:07 |
| JDSBlueDevl | and everything was fine until yesterday | 09:07 |
| cowbud | well what did you do | 09:07 |
| clarezoe | help, I don't have sound on my computer | 09:07 |
| JDSBlueDevl | the upgrade from Feisty was a few weeks back | 09:07 |
| Kagar | hmm -- I can't seem to get on the internet through virtual box -- is there a reason why to this? I can connect to LAN but I dunno. | 09:07 |
| Sharpie | suddenly a few keys in my keyboard arent working | 09:07 |
| nephlim | cowbud, it just takes over the terminal i'm using | 09:07 |
| cowbud | nephlim: well what software is it running:? | 09:08 |
| clarezoe | help help | 09:08 |
| micH3le | le knl | 09:08 |
| JDSBlueDevl | well, actually things were running fine, then I was in GMail trying to get rid of my spam, and when I clicked on the "Delete all spam messages" button, the titlebars went missing | 09:08 |
| kahrytan | #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:08 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: have you started X? | 09:09 |
| Kagar | actually, I can't connect to my lan | 09:09 |
| cowbud | cause that doesn't make any sense | 09:09 |
| JDSBlueDevl | you mean restarted X? | 09:09 |
| JDSBlueDevl | b/c I logged out once, which should restart X | 09:09 |
| Sharpie | a few keys in my keyboard arent working, any suggestions how to fix it =\ | 09:09 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: yes it should | 09:09 |
| JDSBlueDevl | then yes I did | 09:09 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: hrmm interesting it has nothing to do with firefox/gmail | 09:09 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: did you install any updateS? | 09:09 |
| JDSBlueDevl | this afternoon, yes | 09:10 |
| cowbud | what? | 09:10 |
| bryand | still trying to get firefox working on 7.10 server - I ran 'sudo apt-get install firefox' and it said it succedded by 'firefox' dies saying "can't open display" | 09:10 |
| JDSBlueDevl | but it just happened two hours ago | 09:10 |
| cowbud | bryan_: huh? | 09:10 |
| JDSBlueDevl | the update from yesterday was another hell unto itself | 09:10 |
| nephlim | cowbud, the bbs is Citadel | 09:10 |
| cowbud | nephlim: yeah your only hope is some sort of interactive script that when you press a key combination it sends something every so often to keep you from being idle | 09:10 |
| daedric | Lapinux seems ok to me :) | 09:10 |
| jdlizard | i need some help with ndiswrapper | 09:11 |
| jdlizard | anyone | 09:11 |
| cowbud | jdlizard: 10 bucks says you google ndiswrapper +your nic and you find hell | 09:11 |
| cowbud | help | 09:11 |
| cowbud | rather | 09:11 |
| cowbud | heh | 09:11 |
| brobostigon | tell us your rproblem and we will see if we can help | 09:11 |
| jdlizard | no not been surching for days | 09:12 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: so downgrade whatever was updated.. | 09:12 |
| JDSBlueDevl | things worked this afternoon after the update, then restarting X | 09:12 |
| JDSBlueDevl | so it wasn't that | 09:12 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: so what else changed ;) | 09:12 |
| Lapinux | daedric: i will have to do more searching, i remember some command to find out where grub is installed to, which drive... | 09:13 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I don't know | 09:13 |
| JDSBlueDevl | it just self-corrupted | 09:13 |
| kaddy | does anybody know how to fix this problem..... my native linux games in ubuntu 7.10 minimise to a small window during gameplay and will not let you do anything. any fixes? | 09:13 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: since you have to install updates yourself that requires interaction | 09:13 |
| JDSBlueDevl | would this have to do with emerald? | 09:13 |
| bryand | I just did a fresh (test) install of ubuntu 7.10 server and I want to add firefox but 'sudo apt-get install firefox' succedded only to have the command 'firefox' die complaining it can't open Display | 09:13 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: not to say there is an excuse for update screwing.. | 09:13 |
| JDSBlueDevl | it wasn't because the update did something | 09:13 |
| inimitable1 | hmmm... gnome front end is better i think | 09:13 |
| inimitable1 | brb | 09:13 |
| nephlim | cowbud, thanks for the help. i'm going to google keepalive scripts. any pointers for that? | 09:13 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: are you in the shiat now? | 09:13 |
| JDSBlueDevl | what? | 09:14 |
| cowbud | nephlim: not off the top of my head, why are you trying to stay on? | 09:14 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: are you in compiz now? | 09:14 |
| JDSBlueDevl | yes | 09:14 |
| micH3le | what | 09:14 |
| jdlizard | well what whould u think is wrong cowdud | 09:14 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I have compiz running now | 09:14 |
| cowbud | jdlizard: well tell me the nic and the version | 09:14 |
| micH3le | what is your name? | 09:14 |
| JDSBlueDevl | compiz was running when I restarted X after the update as well | 09:14 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: try gtk-window-decorator --replace in a terminal | 09:14 |
| JDSBlueDevl | that did the trick for a second, then the titlebars disappeared again | 09:15 |
| nephlim | cowbud, because if i put it aside for longer than 20 min, i have to log back in. sometimes other projects get my attention | 09:15 |

| cowbud | or SySop | 09:15 |
| cowbud | what what old school | 09:15 |
| jdlizard | ndiswrapper 1.38 | 09:16 |
| cowbud | jdlizard: the actual nic | 09:16 |
| nephlim | cowbud, hehe. yeah | 09:16 |
| jdlizard | nic | 09:16 |
| cowbud | jdlizard: like what is the name of the hardware | 09:16 |
| jdlizard | ? | 09:16 |
| jdlizard | lol | 09:16 |
| jdlizard | okl | 09:16 |
| nephlim | wait, they probably make bbs clients right? | 09:16 |
| cowbud | :) | 09:16 |
| crazy_bus | is there a easy way to get the new intel graphics drivers? Besides compiling them yourself | 09:16 |
| codehead | hello | 09:16 |
| cowbud | nephlim: if you are connecting with ssh then that is your bbs client :) | 09:16 |
| cowbud | codehead: RARRR | 09:16 |
| nephlim | something thirdparty that would have those options | 09:16 |
| jdlizard | westell usb 802.11g wireless adapter | 09:16 |
| nephlim | like a GUI dealy | 09:16 |
| cowbud | nephlim: doubtful but possible | 09:16 |
| codehead | I'd like to have a chat with people that have trouble having their 2nd core of AMD X2 enabled | 09:17 |
| codehead | anyone with similar headaches? | 09:17 |
| cowbud | codehead: everyone with AMD | 09:17 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, in terminal, I get error Segmentation fault (core dumped) when trying to replace gtk-window-decorator | 09:17 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: hrmm | 09:17 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: is your drive full? :) | 09:17 |
| codehead | cowbud, that's the perception I got in the forums :) | 09:17 |
| JDSBlueDevl | far from it | 09:17 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: what do you have in .xsession-errors? | 09:17 |
| codehead | just wondering if there's any hope :) | 09:17 |
| JDSBlueDevl | and now my GNOME taskbars disappeared | 09:17 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: killall -9 gnome-panel in a terminal that will pop back up | 09:18 |
| Evanlec | anyone having difficult fetching packages from medibuntu rite now? | 09:18 |
| Indephysis | Oh yeah, also, can anyone recommend a program to batch convert large numbers of PDF/RTF/LIT to Text? | 09:18 |
| JDSBlueDevl | no, it isn't popping back up | 09:18 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: pdf2text | 09:18 |
| cowbud | forget lit | 09:18 |
| kaddy | does anybody know how to fix this problem..... my native linux games in ubuntu 7.10 minimise to a small window during gameplay and will not let you do anything. any fixes? | 09:18 |
| cowbud | abiword will do rtf | 09:18 |
| Indephysis | abiword will do MULTIPLE rtfs at a time? | 09:19 |
| buttercups | Evanlec, same here | 09:19 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: yeah you can do command line with it | 09:19 |
| Evanlec | buttercups, gayness! | 09:19 |
| cowbud | I forget how but I know you can | 09:19 |
| Indephysis | I had to write a shell script to get pdf2text, and it's sort of irritating on syntax | 09:19 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, I keep getting multiple errors saying "Attempt to draw a drawable with depth 24 to a drawable with depth 32" | 09:19 |
| Indephysis | like/,/ a/ file/ needing/ to/ be/ like/ this.pdf | 09:19 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: for i in `ls *.pdf`; do pdf2text $i $i.txt; done | 09:19 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: perl will own that | 09:20 |
| tich | i always thought the deskbar applet could have a search area right on the panel. but mine only opens up a search window when i click on the icon... and i can't find anything in the preferences. how would i change it? | 09:20 |
| Indephysis | :( I don't wanna learn perl though, I guess i'll try though | 09:20 |
| cowbud | or "$i" "$i.txt" | 09:20 |
| cowbud | perl is easy and quick man | 09:20 |
| cowbud | :) | 09:20 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: exactly i.e. you are at 32 :) what what | 09:20 |
| inimitable1 | sorry jumping right in here, i heard Python/Perl are the best languages to start with | 09:20 |
| inimitable1 | if your going to learn programming anyway | 09:20 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: paste that badness to the paste in the topic and ill read through that | 09:21 |
| Oli`` | what's the command for re-executing fstab at runtime? | 09:21 |
| Indephysis | yeah I was gonna head for C++, I guess I'll go to the offtopic though for this to continue | 09:21 |
| kaddy | does anybody know how to fix this problem..... my native linux games in ubuntu 7.10 minimise to a small window during gameplay and will not let you do anything. any fixes? | 09:21 |
| cowbud | inimitable1: Perl is quicker to learn python is better for more strucutured programming | 09:21 |
| JDSBlueDevl | well, I can't even click on Firefox right now, b/c the gnome panel bars aren't popping back up | 09:21 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: check this | 09:21 |
| inimitable1 | but i don't know much about programming or linux/unix at all, i just installed Ubuntu today wheni got off work | 09:21 |
| inimitable1 | when i ** | 09:22 |
| JDSBlueDevl | how do I get them back? | 09:22 |
| inimitable1 | basically im looking to further my comp. knowledge and programming experience | 09:22 |
| inimitable1 | i been on windows all my life, and most programming experience ive had was on good ol' Qbasic | 09:22 |
| inimitable1 | and creating batch files in ms-dos that just ruined someones file system that i didn't like | 09:23 |
| JDSBlueDevl | how do I get the gnome-panel back? | 09:23 |
| santh_ | how to set a password while compressing a file | 09:23 |
| inimitable1 | lol | 09:23 |
| inimitable1 | so far i really like this though | 09:23 |
| inimitable1 | i tried to get into linux a couple years ago | 09:23 |
| inimitable1 | i think the distro was sorcerer | 09:23 |
| inimitable1 | it was just way to complicated/time consuming for me | 09:24 |
| Oli`` | inimitable1: I think starting with Java (or C# through mono) is probably the best starting point for somebody in this day and age... They've got great Object Orientated approaches and they both use a similar syntax to C (which will put you in good stead if you want to branch out to C++ later on) | 09:24 |
| inimitable1 | hmm | 09:24 |
| kaddy | does anybody know how to fix this problem..... my native linux games in ubuntu 7.10 minimise to a small window during gameplay and will not let you do anything. any fixes? | 09:24 |
| ompaul | inimitable1, so I suggest you go to the following url: http://help.ubuntu.com/community and have a look this is specifically a support channel you may be interested in #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:24 |
| inimitable1 | i was thinking of starting with java myself | 09:24 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: told ya killall -9 gnome-panel in a terminal | 09:24 |
| buttercups | inimitable1, start with assembly , understand that then move on, off topic though | 09:25 |
| JDSBlueDevl | that didn't work | 09:25 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I keep saying that | 09:25 |
| Campfire1 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBWcRMonvWA&feature=related | 09:25 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: then type gnome-panel & | 09:25 |
| inimitable1 | .. assembly? you mean 1010101's | 09:25 |
| Oli`` | inimitable1: asm is a big fat waste of time =) | 09:25 |
| inimitable1 | lol | 09:25 |
| JDSBlueDevl | output is [] 7988 | 09:25 |
| ompaul | !offtopic | Campfire1 | 09:25 |
| cowbud | Oli``: depends | 09:25 |
| ubotu | Campfire1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 09:25 |
| JDSBlueDevl | oops | 09:25 |
| cowbud | what what | 09:25 |
| JDSBlueDevl | [1] 7988 | 09:25 |
| Oli`` | inimitable1: no that's binary... | 09:25 |
| Campfire1 | mybad | 09:25 |
| inimitable1 | oh | 09:25 |
| buttercups | Oli``, kidding? | 09:26 |

| inimitable1 | well before i get into learning programming, im going to try to find a reason why lol | 09:26 |
| ompaul | !help | santh_ | 09:26 |

| cowbud | santh_: ask your question | 09:26 |
| JDSBlueDevl | anyways, I got firefox working from terminal, so the link is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44985/ | 09:27 |
| JDSBlueDevl | but gnome-panel & doesn't work | 09:27 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: gnome-panel didn't come back> | 09:27 |
| inimitable1 | but i see this is a help channel so ill let you all get back to your helping :P | 09:27 |
| JDSBlueDevl | no | 09:27 |
| santh_ | how to set a password while compressing a file | 09:27 |
| Indephysis | head to offtopic, inimitable1 | 09:27 |

| inimitable1 | doing so now, thanks guys | 09:27 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: killall -9 gnome-panel ; gnome-panel | 09:27 |
| Oli`` | buttercups: no... if you want to get something done programming-wise, that isn't a high-performance graphics engine, asm is just too much fluff when there are more important things to learn about programming, data design, etc etc. Knowing asm affords you very little in "big" languages | 09:27 |
| cowbud | RaRR | 09:27 |
| JDSBlueDevl | oh, hold on | 09:27 |
| benji_ | santh_: u mean to the zip file ? | 09:27 |
| santh_ | s benji | 09:27 |
| cowbud | santh_: what are you using to compress the file? | 09:27 |
| JDSBlueDevl | well, I guess it should be reappearing, but it isn't | 09:28 |
| Oli`` | buttercups: it has its uses, but an introduction-to-programming isn't one of them | 09:28 |
| santh_ | archive | 09:28 |
| cowbud | santh_: archive or file-roller? | 09:28 |
| cowbud | wtf is archive? | 09:28 |
| santh_ | archive | 09:28 |
| cowbud | santh_: you mean from nautilus? | 09:29 |

| JDSBlueDevl | cowbud: here's what happened. I kinda got titlebar, but when I clicked on it, it wouldn't move | 09:37 |
| cowbud | unikon: nothing changed? | 09:37 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: hrmmm weird | 09:37 |
| pipelinexpc | is that why this channel is so paranoid? you get a lot of drive by nutters like that? | 09:37 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: I looked through the changes and nothing seemed to hint towards such an issue | 09:37 |
| JDSBlueDevl | then when I tried to enable the desktop cube, the titlebar disappeared | 09:37 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: you have your panel back right? | 09:37 |
| JDSBlueDevl | but reactivating desktop wall and deactivating desktop cube didn't work | 09:37 |
| JDSBlueDevl | yes | 09:37 |
| JDSBlueDevl | but this is with the new user | 09:37 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: leave cube disabled go to desktop effects disable them | 09:38 |

| JDSBlueDevl | is this in the Advanced Desktop Effects Settings? | 09:42 |

| JDSBlueDevl | how do I disable desktop effects? | 09:43 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: do you have a GL desktop option in system->preferences? | 09:43 |

| JDSBlueDevl | ok | 09:44 |
| benji_ | cowbud: weird isn't it | 09:44 |
| amadeux | cowbud, that seems to just confirm that it can't be played | 09:44 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: in terminal type metacity --replace | 09:44 |
| cowbud | benji_: yeah well I remember tcpdump could do wireless before wireshark but I figured they would have fixed that | 09:44 |
| cowbud | benji_: your card supports monitoring mode? | 09:44 |
| cowbud | benji_: http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#sec10 | 09:44 |
| benji_ | cowbud: i've used wireshark in the past successfully, i can't figure out what's goin' on today | 09:45 |
| cowbud | weird | 09:45 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, metacity --replace put the title bars back, but that disabled compiz | 09:45 |
| zetheroo | anyone? | 09:45 |
| amadeux | cowbud, rythmbox seems to play the audio (I can hear sound...), but it does not allow me to skip individual tracks (the .cue stuff) | 09:45 |
| JDSBlueDevl | oh, sorry | 09:46 |
| JDSBlueDevl | cowbud: metacity --replace put the title bars back, but that disabled compiz | 09:46 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: right | 09:46 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, so how do I go about fixing things? | 09:46 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: alright so you have advanced gl blah? | 09:46 |

| L0GAN | all offa sudden the computer stops responding | 09:49 |

| prophet | cowbud: checked it.. but 5, +, and 0 are the only keys that seem to respond and they're all right click | 09:50 |
| L0GAN | cant remember that happening using 7.04 | 09:50 |
| unikon | cowbud as far as i can tell it was just a minor glitch atm as i can see its fixed | 09:50 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, I'm in root now | 09:50 |
| modu | doesnt ubuntu use .Xdefaults for standard things as terminalconfiguration (for aterm in this case) like other distros do? | 09:50 |
| cowbud | unikon: huh weird | 09:50 |
| JDSBlueDevl | yes, ubuntu-desktop is installed | 09:50 |

| cowbud | unikon: hrmm don't know much about xubuntu..or xfce for that matter sorry :( | 09:53 |
| MilitantPotato | unikon: you can right click the pannel and add the Xfce menu applet back | 09:55 |

| hi365 | hello. can someone help with a vido card problem? | 09:56 |
| MilitantPotato | Indephysis: if it handles dri, you can load the module dri in xorg.conf | 09:56 |
| Indephysis | that's the thing, I don't know if it handles dri :o | 09:56 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: hrmm weird.. | 09:56 |
| Indephysis | It's a Riva TNT2, I believe | 09:56 |
| hi365 | im getting jerky video playback/animations, how do i fix it? (using an ati x1300) | 09:57 |
| Indephysis | What's the easiest way to check | 09:57 |
| MilitantPotato | Indephysis: well, backup your xorg, have it load DRI, if it breaks X, re-load the xorg | 09:57 |
| MilitantPotato | Easiest? google. | 09:57 |
| * Indephysis googles | 09:57 | |
| zetheroo | is it possible to make different user accounts each with its own look? | 09:57 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: that is weird are you sure no settings were changed? | 09:58 |

| MilitantPotato | zetheroo: yep | 09:58 |
| hi365 | im getting jerky video screen animations, how do i fix it? (using an ati x1300) | 09:58 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: i'd have to say im stumped.. | 09:59 |
| JDSBlueDevl | well, I'm logging back into main acct now, just for the hell of it, and I get another error message: Error activating XKB configuration | 09:59 |
| zetheroo | MilitantPotato: so is it just a matter of creating another user and loggin in and making the look you want? | 09:59 |

| poripori | I'm new to this IRC | 10:00 |
| JDSBlueDevl | cowbud: what does that all mean? | 10:01 |
| JDSBlueDevl | that error is specific to the main acct | 10:02 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: well xprop shows window properties and -root shows all kinds o crazy stuff about different x properties | 10:02 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, so I should look at that in the failsafe terminal? | 10:02 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: I wouldn't bother | 10:02 |
| holzmodem | hi, how can i switch the tabs in konqueror using a shortcut like (CTRL+TAB)? | 10:02 |
| cowbud | the xkb thing is usually X detects something different than what gnome's set to use as far as a keyboard | 10:03 |
| JDSBlueDevl | so, what do I do? I can't even access the desktop | 10:03 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: ctrl-alt-backspace | 10:03 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, did that, back at the login screen | 10:03 |
| JDSBlueDevl | now what? | 10:03 |
| cowbud | now login | 10:03 |
| JDSBlueDevl | same error | 10:03 |
| cowbud | you can't just click OK? | 10:03 |
| zhanx | ok i am trying to change my AP to non-broadcast but i cant see to connect to it.. any ideas? | 10:04 |
| JDSBlueDevl | and this is specific to the account, b/c with the new one, I don't get this | 10:04 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I can click close and bring up a black screen | 10:04 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: What exactly are you trying to do? | 10:04 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: this is just the xkb warning? | 10:04 |
| cowbud | cause that shouldn't stop you from logging in | 10:04 |
| unikon | welcome poripori | 10:04 |
| JDSBlueDevl | yes | 10:04 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I'm giving you what was on my screen | 10:05 |
| zhanx | connect to my wireless router. with-out the broadcast ssid turned on. but ubuntu doesn't want to connect | 10:05 |
| === frederic185 is now known as frederick85 | ||
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: when is the last time you rebootged (yes I know bad for linux) but im not at the desktop a reboot helps in that case :) | 10:05 |
| JDSBlueDevl | probably an hour ago | 10:05 |
| JDSBlueDevl | should I reboot? | 10:05 |
| cowbud | zhanx: connect to other wireless network | 10:05 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: yeah go for it | 10:05 |
| gordonjcp | cowbud: actually if you've done some pretty far-reaching changes, you do need to rebooot | 10:05 |
| JDSBlueDevl | hard boot (reset button) or soft boot? | 10:05 |
| aa_ | Hi, I would like to roll firefox back to a version that worked | 10:05 |
| cowbud | gordonjcp: yeah if you updated the kernel that's it | 10:05 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: why don't you want broadcast ssid on? | 10:05 |
| aa_ | something around dapper worked | 10:06 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: why not just turn off the AP, if you don't want it broadcasting an ssid? | 10:06 |
| nazgul | morning ;) I am capturing a crash with gdb. nautilus-dbg and libglib2-dbg are installed but I can only see nautilus symbols in the trace. any ideas? | 10:06 |
| aa_ | now I have huge memory leaks regular lock-ups | 10:06 |
| cowbud | aa_: and how many extensions are you using? | 10:06 |
| gordonjcp | aa_: what add-ons are you using? | 10:06 |
| * cowbud smiles at gordonjcp | 10:06 | |
| Lapinux | if one was booted up on a live cd for a system that wouldnt boot, how would they go about checking partitions | 10:06 |
| zhanx | gordonjcp, i use the AP for my printer (which only supports wep) and my laptop. and i live in a complex and i get tired of leechers | 10:06 |
| gordonjcp | cowbud: heh | 10:07 |
| Lapinux | fdisk says none of my devices exist | 10:07 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: and how will turning off ssid broadcast help? | 10:07 |
| cowbud | zhanx: if they can crack wep they can find your AP | 10:07 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: that way nothing will be able to connect to it | 10:07 |
| aa_ | cowbud, gordonjcp : 1 exetnsion: Firebug in disabled mode | 10:07 |
| nazgul | LadyNikon: try gparted, the GNome partitioning tool | 10:07 |
| janerik | help needed with graphics. My desktop is not adjusted to the monitor. Some of it is out of the screen. Maybe wrong with driver?? Anyone can guide me to fix it please?? | 10:07 |
| zhanx | doh.. i forgot.. reguardless if its on or off they can still see the traffic.. | 10:08 |
| L0GAN | how can I use Live CD in 'save' mode? | 10:08 |
| cowbud | aa_: hrmm and how are you ascertaining the fact that it is dying due to memory locks? | 10:08 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: turning off ssid doesn't work | 10:08 |
| cowbud | zhanx: they can find out the name also right away.. | 10:08 |
| nazgul | Lapinux: : try gparted, the GNome partitioning tool | 10:08 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: if it ever does work, then it's purely by chance | 10:08 |
| cowbud | only time turning off SSID is useful is when you have 324234 APs with the same name | 10:08 |
| cowbud | for network coverage that way windows doesn't go nuts | 10:08 |
| zhanx | POE time for the AP then so i can put it | 10:09 |
| gordonjcp | cowbud: and clients that actually work with ssid turned off | 10:09 |
| jdlizard | cowbud quick question | 10:09 |
| cowbud | gordonjcp: that to | 10:09 |
| * greencookie dozes off... | 10:09 | |
| gordonjcp | cowbud: very few cards and drivers won't totally keech themselves at a lack of ssid | 10:09 |
| cowbud | gordonjcp: keech eh | 10:09 |
| jdlizard | this is a prism 2 card wil linux-wlan work | 10:09 |
| gordonjcp | jdlizard: yes | 10:09 |
| L0GAN | hello? | 10:09 |
| jdlizard | how do u start this after the install | 10:10 |
| JDSBlueDevl | cowbud: reboot worked, now back at desktop | 10:10 |
| brobostigon | hi, logan | 10:10 |
| L0GAN | Ubuntu live cd stopps responding... is there a save mode? | 10:10 |
| gordonjcp | jdlizard: prism 2 cards are supported by *everything*, have fantastic RF strips, and often have external antenna connectors | 10:10 |
| JDSBlueDevl | and titlebars back | 10:10 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: hell yah, odd I am sure some process was hanging around glad to hear, you got everything AWESOME man! | 10:10 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I don't know how they came back, they came back | 10:10 |
| jburd | L0GAN: Yes, try using safe graphics mode. | 10:10 |
| JDSBlueDevl | yeah, and I only wasted 2 hours that I should be sleeping | 10:10 |
| gordonjcp | jdlizard: if you're happy enough with 11Mbps then they're fantastic cards | 10:10 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: :) just as a side note, linux doesn't need reboots like windows. You just have to know what to kill to get it back up | 10:10 |
| cowbud | which can be tricky | 10:10 |
| JDSBlueDevl | it's 5 o'clock in the f'n morning here! | 10:10 |
| jburd | L0GAN: If you are unable to use the LiveCD try installing using the alternate disc. | 10:10 |
| jdlizard | yeah i could live with 11mbs | 10:11 |
| jdlizard | as long as it works | 10:11 |
| jdlizard | lol | 10:11 |
| JDSBlueDevl | yeah, but it seemed like endless reboots fixed it | 10:11 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: indeed well all and all im glad it is back up :) | 10:11 |
| JDSBlueDevl | anyways, gotta sleep, maybe I'll wake up before the Dolphins play at 1 PM | 10:11 |
| cowbud | JDSBlueDevl: haha sleep well | 10:11 |

| sampo_v2 | what's the "ubuntu" way to configure xorg in gutsy? | 10:12 |
| zhanx | WEP is setup | 10:12 |
| cowbud | !ask | 10:12 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 10:12 |
| cowbud | what what | 10:12 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: ah, are they cracking your WEP key? | 10:12 |
| jdlizard | gordonjcp how do i start the linux0wlan drive | 10:12 |
| L0GAN | jburd I encountered same problem with various distros. If live cd stops after some time after it was booted how would install fair any better? | 10:12 |
| habluxa | hey guys i was instaling something and it showed me this error ..make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 10:12 |
| jdlizard | - | 10:12 |
| zhanx | yep and cloneing the printer | 10:12 |
| cowbud | zhanx: yah mac filtering doesn't work well either :) | 10:13 |
| sampo_v2 | habluxa: 99% of the time that's because you didn't run ./configure | 10:13 |
| cowbud | zhanx: no way to connect your printer via wired? | 10:13 |
| jburd | L0GAN: Try pressing Alt-F1 and tell us if you notice errors or problems. | 10:13 |
| gordonjcp | jdlizard: no idea, I don't use Linux any more | 10:13 |
| jdlizard | your not in the directory habluxa | 10:13 |
| jdlizard | lol ok | 10:13 |
| gordonjcp | jdlizard: not on my laptop anyway | 10:13 |
| jdlizard | ok | 10:13 |
| habluxa | sampo--i did run the ./configure | 10:13 |
| sampo_v2 | gordonjcp: hi | 10:13 |
| gordonjcp | I haven't used it on my laptop for about six or seven years ;-) | 10:13 |
| jdlizard | i have had np for a 1 year until gustyu | 10:13 |
| cowbud | habluxa: did it fail? | 10:13 |
| L0GAN | : jburd when problem arises the OS stopps responding to everything, upto that point all is okay | 10:13 |
| gordonjcp | sampo_v2: hello! | 10:13 |
| cowbud | :) | 10:13 |
| zhanx | cowbud, yea but, the great way my rooms are layed out in the country sucks. cause the cable connection is only in the bed and i hate wires | 10:14 |
| sampo_v2 | gordonjcp: i just upgraded to gutsy with .. expected results ;) | 10:14 |
| jburd | L0GAN: Well, press Alt-F1 before getting to that point. | 10:14 |
| cowbud | zhanx: that sucks man, unfortunately WPA needs hardware updates and all the old hardware that doesn't support it scews us all | 10:14 |
| gordonjcp | sampo_v2: fun isn't it | 10:14 |
| jburd | L0GAN: Try switching to difference VCs | 10:14 |
| zhanx | cowbud, your right. i | 10:14 |
| sampo_v2 | gordonjcp: i fully expected to run into troubles | 10:14 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: hang on, wait wait | 10:14 |
| L0GAN | ok I try. | 10:14 |
| jburd | L0GAN: You will see background information that you otherwise cannot see. | 10:14 |
| cowbud | zhanx: what's the printer btw? | 10:15 |
| sampo_v2 | gordonjcp: any idea what software the installer use sto configuure X? | 10:15 |

| cowbud | habluxa: wtf is that? | 10:16 |
| cowbud | irc? | 10:16 |
| cowbud | serVer? | 10:16 |
| cowbud | if memory serves.. | 10:16 |
| cowbud | or the game? heh | 10:16 |
| habluxa | cowbud--yea its irc server :) | 10:16 |
| cowbud | hah waBam | 10:16 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: how about setting your laptop to a particular IP address, and firewalling outbound traffic from everything else? | 10:16 |
| cowbud | habluxa: you run ./configure and it says blah blah Generating Makefiles ? | 10:16 |
| shagball | hi what could cause the screen of a tightvnc server to be blurry? my connection is through wifi | 10:16 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: better yet, just let people use your connection, but throttle it to 64kbps | 10:16 |
| habluxa | cowbud--i fond another error ...checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 10:16 |
| cowbud | shagball: the wifi portion of your question causes that | 10:16 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: or, let them use your connection but sniff all their traffic | 10:16 |
| cowbud | habluxa: aptitude install build-essential | 10:17 |
| zhanx | gordonjcp, good idea. i will nat filter everything off the printer mac. | 10:17 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: and then steal their passwords | 10:17 |
| shagball | ahh i had the feeling i just wanted to make sure | 10:17 |
| shagball | thanks | 10:17 |

| habluxa | cowbud-- i didn't ..where can i get it | 10:18 |
| zhanx | gordonjcp, awsome, that is the solution right there. | 10:18 |
| beewee | argh, sorry for double pasting it | 10:18 |
| cowbud | habluxa: either synaptic or type aptitude install build-essential on the command line | 10:18 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: obviously you'll need to exclude your laptop somehow | 10:18 |
| sampo_v2 | gordonjcp: lol | 10:19 |
| Indephysis | I want to use DRI. Should I switch to x.org from xfree86? | 10:19 |
| habluxa | cowbud--i try it but still show me some error ....E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 10:19 |
| habluxa | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 10:19 |
| cowbud | habluxa: whoops sudo in front of that :) | 10:20 |
| Indephysis | habluxa, do you have a update window open, or synaptic? | 10:20 |
| RandomPerson | hey, I need some help. I tried running windows virtualized in ubuntu, but it gave me the error message: "Opposites don't attract." | 10:20 |
| sampo_v2 | gordonjcp: i love it how the xorg GUI tool in gutsy has a "generic LLCD for 1920x12000", but after selecting it the available resolutions in the drop down button has resolutions up to 1600x1200 ;) | 10:20 |
| cowbud | RandomPerson: haha | 10:20 |
| habluxa | indep--yes | 10:20 |
| L0GAN | logged in via ubuntu | 10:21 |
| L0GAN | alt-f1 only shows application menu open | 10:21 |
| L0GAN | I used save graphics mode this time | 10:21 |
| Indephysis | hablusa you have to close the other package thing | 10:21 |
| Indephysis | Because right now that program's using it | 10:22 |
| Indephysis | Also: Is Ubuntu default using Xfree86 or Xorg? | 10:22 |
| cowbud | xorg | 10:22 |
| cowbud | unless you are using a really old version of ubuntu | 10:22 |
| RandomPerson | does any distro still use xfree86? | 10:22 |
| L0GAN | now I wait untill ubuntu stops responding again | 10:22 |
| gordonjcp | sampo_v2: it's a total mess | 10:22 |
| Indephysis | :s I really don't know | 10:23 |
| sampo_v2 | gordonjcp: i'm currently without dri, my screen refresh rate is pretty fun too ;) | 10:23 |
| tuntun | How can I save firefox pages html including the contents of forms i have filled? | 10:23 |
| L0GAN | is there an update to the 7.10 live cd ? | 10:24 |
| aa_ | cowbud: I am not. It's dying AND it's having memory leaks | 10:24 |
| gordonjcp | sampo_v2: without the nvidia binary drivers, I basically can't use -rt audio | 10:24 |
| habluxa | :) back | 10:24 |
| gordonjcp | tuntun: I don't think you can | 10:24 |
| gordonjcp | tuntun: What exactly are you trying to do? | 10:24 |
| Binnu | hello | 10:24 |
| sampo_v2 | gordonjcp: thatt's why i got my laptop with intel graphics | 10:24 |
| RandomPerson | cowbud: say I wanted to purchase 10 $200 machines from walmart and form a cluster from them...how would I go about that with ubuntu? | 10:25 |
| sampo_v2 | gordonjcp: do you have any idea what prorgam is used in ubuntu to do the basic configuration for xorg? | 10:25 |
| L0GAN | will non-free flash plugin be supported by default for firefox plugins again like it was in 7.04? | 10:25 |
| cowbud | RandomPerson: beowulf more a linux thing though not ubuntu | 10:25 |
| gordonjcp | sampo_v2: nope | 10:25 |
| L0GAN | or can I change my live cd to revert that change? | 10:25 |
| gordonjcp | RandomPerson: google for "linux clustering" | 10:25 |
| gordonjcp | cowbud: I think beowulf is pretty obsolete now ;-) | 10:26 |
| cowbud | gordonjcp: really what took that badness over? | 10:26 |
| RandomPerson | I'd think so | 10:26 |
| L0GAN | beowulf is a new movie | 10:26 |
| gordonjcp | cowbud: aw, loads of different things | 10:26 |
| gordonjcp | RandomPerson: that's basically how clusters work though | 10:26 |
| cowbud | gordonjcp: huh yeah never ran that | 10:26 |
| cowbud | :) | 10:26 |
| madspin | Hi all, I think I have discovered a bug in firefox but I'm not sure. When I click on a .torrent file - firefox always opens azureus. There is no mention of .torrent in about:config or in Preference/Content/File Types | 10:26 |
| cowbud | I give vbery qualified advice though | 10:26 |
| cowbud | hahha | 10:26 |
| gordonjcp | cowbud: I had a four machine Beowulf cluster in about 1999 | 10:27 |
| cowbud | gordonjcp: how did that work out? | 10:27 |
| aaron_ | hi | 10:27 |
| madspin | I am wondering if maybe my configuration is corrupted somehow... :| | 10:27 |
| L0GAN | azureus??? :O | 10:27 |
| L0GAN | thats bad | 10:27 |
| gordonjcp | cowbud: it was pretty cool actually | 10:27 |
| Indephysis | Where is modules.conf? I'm looking for it while installing dri | 10:27 |
| L0GAN | some java thing | 10:27 |
| gordonjcp | cowbud: writing cluster-aware proggies was tricky | 10:27 |
| Rainpoint | !dualboot | 10:27 |
| ubotu | Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 10:27 |
| madspin | L0GAN: I know - I'm trying to stop firefox from using it | 10:27 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: why are you having to install dri? | 10:27 |
| tuntun | gordonjcp: eg google page save it including the search string, i tried the "web developer" extension | 10:27 |
| cowbud | gordonjcp: I bet | 10:27 |
| gordonjcp | cowbud: now my PDA is probably faster than the whole cluster | 10:27 |
| Indephysis | because it's not working? :o | 10:27 |
| Indephysis | or at least gl desktop won't | 10:27 |
| L0GAN | madspin sorry, I had deinstalled it and still has some links to it somewhere | 10:28 |
| gordonjcp | tuntun: yeah, I'm not sure you can do that, although I can't see a good reason why not | 10:28 |
| L0GAN | bad java :) | 10:28 |
| gordonjcp | tuntun: why are you trying to do that? Is there a better way to solve the problem? | 10:28 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: glxinfo shows nothing>? | 10:28 |
| madspin | L0GAN: it is finding azureus somehow, I just can't see it anywhere in the normal places | 10:28 |
| cowbud | and dri is out dated.. | 10:28 |
| Rainpoint | Hi, I can't connect to my wireless router with Gutsy Gibbon. | 10:28 |
| Indephysis | it's showing stuff, yeah | 10:28 |
| L0GAN | madspin maybe in some browser cashe? | 10:28 |
| Indephysis | it just.. isn't working :o | 10:28 |
| Rainpoint | I'm unfamiliar with Ubuntu, so is there a special procedure to connect to my network? | 10:29 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: and glxgears does that go fast? | 10:29 |
| RandomPerson | thanks, bye all | 10:29 |
| cowbud | like 3k fps ? | 10:29 |
| Indephysis | 222.500 :o | 10:29 |
| cowbud | Rainpoint: depends on how you are going about it | 10:29 |
| Indephysis | er, wait | 10:29 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: so GL is working | 10:29 |
| Rainpoint | Explain. | 10:29 |
| madspin | L0GAN: I just rgrepped my profile dir | 10:29 |
| madspin | L0GAN: mzabuyhg.default/mimeTypes.rdf: NC:path="/usr/local/bin/azureus" | 10:29 |
| cowbud | Rainpoint: wifi wireless etc | 10:29 |
| Indephysis | 239.. yeah it's working but gl desktop isn't :9 | 10:29 |
| madspin | L0GAN: ;) | 10:29 |
| L0GAN | what is wrong when after ubuntu starts my monitor goes black. Gets restored when presing alt-tab | 10:29 |
| tich | where in the deskbar applet does one choose to have a search area in the panel or not? | 10:29 |
| gordonjcp | cowbud: / RandomPerson - I'm planning on getting some of the 150 quid Tesco PCs and basically just giving away the 80G drives and fitting a bunch of 320G drives and decent network cards inside | 10:29 |
| tuntun | gordonjcp: to save the form information without having to take a screenshot of it, so i can just copy and paste, i wouldnt want to use an auto-form-filler. | 10:29 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: is your default depth set to higher than 24? | 10:29 |
| Rainpoint | its a wirelesss router inside my house. | 10:30 |
| gordonjcp | tuntun: ah | 10:30 |
| Indephysis | I don't know where to find the default depth. | 10:30 |
| cowbud | Rainpoint: so do you have linux booted up? | 10:30 |
| Rainpoint | No, not right now. | 10:30 |
| Rainpoint | I'm using Vista atm | 10:30 |
| L0GAN | madspins I was about to delete all including all java lol | 10:30 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: at the command line grep -i defaultdepth /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:30 |
| cowbud | what does that return? | 10:30 |
| gordonjcp | tuntun: I think an auto form filler is the way to go, to be honest | 10:30 |
| cowbud | Rainpoint: basically you have an applet in the corner where you click and select your wireless adapter.. | 10:30 |
| Indephysis | defaultdepth is at 24 | 10:30 |
| cowbud | Rainpoint: assuming your wireless card is supported | 10:30 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: hrmm | 10:30 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: alright lets go for broke :) in a terminal type compiz --replace | 10:31 |
| Rainpoint | Provide a link for supported cards, please. | 10:31 |
| cowbud | Rainpoint: www.google.com | 10:31 |
| Rainpoint | Thanks. | 10:31 |
| cowbud | np | 10:31 |
| zhanx | gordonjcp, going for your own home cluster / storage system | 10:31 |
| Indephysis | Want me to paste what just popped up in a pm? | 10:31 |
| cowbud | Rainpoint: if you know your card search for Cardname ubuntu will pretty much tell you | 10:31 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: sure but to the website | 10:31 |
| tuntun | gordonjcp: well i would need to use it across multiple os's, but i don't really need to solve the problem right now... | 10:31 |
| brobostigon | hi | 10:32 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: yeah | 10:32 |
| esox | hello everybody, are there people here having a freeze problem on ubuntu ? | 10:32 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: I do a lot of audio and video work, and my fianceé does a lot of digital and chemical photography | 10:32 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: so we're constantly bashing big files around | 10:32 |

| habluxa | cowbud--thanks bro its working now | 10:32 |
| zhanx | gordonjcp, sweet, giganet? | 10:32 |
| cowbud | habluxa: righteous | 10:32 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: oh yeah | 10:32 |
| ke- | Main reason I'm still using Windows right now, I wanted to switch for good the other day | 10:33 |
| esox | ke : and the applications gets grey ? | 10:33 |
| ke- | Nah | 10:33 |
| ke- | Well, sort of another freeze | 10:33 |
| ke- | I can move the mouse but I can't click anything | 10:33 |
| zhanx | gordonjcp, even better. when i get back home i am updating mine and grabing a from more cheap computers for it | 10:33 |
| habluxa | cowbud----i will get back to you if i have any problem again :) | 10:33 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: basically she has specced gig ethernet on cat 6e for later expansion to 10G on copper, and a 4TB NAS | 10:33 |
| cowbud | habluxa: sounds good | 10:33 |
| habluxa | cowbud--thanks a lot bro | 10:33 |
| L0GAN | why does plugin finder not allow flash to be installed??? | 10:33 |
| cowbud | no worries | 10:33 |
| zhanx | gordonjcp, got to love that woman | 10:34 |
| L0GAN | "can not find 'flashplugin-nonfree' | 10:34 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: indeed | 10:34 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: I reckon a SAN is the way to go though | 10:34 |
| zhanx | gordonjcp, SAN? | 10:34 |
| cowbud | a SAN or a NAS | 10:34 |
| cowbud | hah | 10:34 |
| L0GAN | can I download a fix somewhere? | 10:34 |
| Indephysis | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44989/ there it is, cowbud | 10:34 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: 'cos we both use Linux boxes for 99.9% of our work so we can just bang AoE on with its own gig ethernet adaptor | 10:35 |
| L0GAN | or should I go back using Ubuntu 7.04 | 10:35 |
| esox | ke : my problem is the following, sometimes an application becomes grey, I cant access it for a few seconds and then everything is normal again | 10:35 |
| gordonjcp | L0GAN: 64-bit? | 10:35 |
| L0GAN | gordon nope | 10:35 |
| gordonjcp | L0GAN: that's odd, I'm using flash here | 10:35 |
| L0GAN | gordonjcp: just 32 but live cd | 10:35 |
| cowbud | Indephysis: what's your card? | 10:36 |
| L0GAN | it shows gnash and flash but refuses to intall any | 10:36 |
| modu | L0GAN: I had that problem installing flash trough firefox, installing flashplugin-nonfree trough synaptic worked like a charm | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | L0GAN: dunno then, I'm using a "real" install | 10:36 |
| zhanx | gordonjcp, i use 8 emachines in a cluster, with 200 hd's, thinking of the fastest way.. fiber... | 10:36 |
| zhanx | theres a gig in there somewhere | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: wait for 10G Ethernet to become a commodity product | 10:36 |
| cowbud | blah fiber is a waste in that situation | 10:36 |
| cowbud | copper is fine | 10:36 |
| L0GAN | modu: could I make it like ubuntu 7.04 who did it correct? | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: you can get it now but it's still expensive and specialised | 10:36 |
| modu | L0GAN: I dont know, first day on ubuntu for me | 10:37 |
| gordonjcp | zhanx: give it another year, and 10G on copper will be down to >£100 per card | 10:37 |
| L0GAN | modu: ah ok | 10:37 |
| L0GAN | good luck then :) | 10:37 |
| pipelinexpc | FINALL! I get to install ubuntu! | 10:37 |

| pipegeek | So, question: I'm working on this system that's been recently upgraded to gutsy. I just installed Xgl.... and for some reason, the dri extension isn't loading. It's specified in xorg.conf, but glxinfo reports no dri and glxgears runs slooooow | 10:53 |

| erUSUL | pipegeek: no, nvidia supports the built-in (and superior) aiglx extension of the normal xserver-xorg | 10:56 |
| pipegeek | hmm.... but does that need to be installed separately? | 10:56 |

| Barbarello | Hi, everybody. I have a problem with installation of kubuntu. After last error the grub problem was fixed by windows fixmbr application. And after that i cant install kubuntu else. ( | 11:54 |
| attanasio | salve a tutti | 11:54 |
| GNU\colossus | anyone in here running 7.10 JEOS yet? | 11:54 |
| chiefbutz | Barbarello, when you did fixmbr that erased the things required for kubuntu to boot | 11:55 |
| modu | GNU\colossus: if you dont mind me asking, what is JEOS? | 11:55 |
| oliver3 | thenewbie, I had the same problem, a simple fix: First, disable desktop effects. Then run the following command (press alt+f2 for the "run command" box): gksu gedit /etc/drirc. Once gedit is open, paste this text "<option name="allow_large_textures" value="2" />" without the leading and trailing quotes. Save the file and close gedit, then enable desktop effects. Your problem should be solved. | 11:55 |

| modu | GNU\colossus: ah, gotcha | 11:56 |
| oliver3 | thenewbie, let me know how you get on. | 11:56 |
| Barbarello | chiefbutz: so. I had install kubuntu else and else. Isn't it make own boot record?? | 11:56 |
| ere4si | neztiti: ok - reiserfs is fast but fragments from what I've read - it seems that the mbr is corrupted from that paste - I could be wrong - my suggestion would be to back up and reinstall using ext3 and fat32 - sorry can't help more than that :) | 11:56 |
| kev51773 | Hi all, I'm trying to get sound working on my laptop, could anyone point me in the right direction | 11:57 |
| oliver3 | kev51773, do you get any error messages? | 11:57 |
| chiefbutz | Barbarello: yes, but it uses Grub to boot, so you will probably have to reinstall it to get grub back. Grub should be able to book Windows if you are trying to dual boot | 11:57 |
| oliver3 | kev51773, also, do you know what audio chipset you are using? | 11:58 |
| neztiti | ere4si: thank u m8 n/p | 11:58 |

| Barbarello | chiefbutz: in installation grub asks to install at (hd0). Is that right setting or i have to change it ti hda1? | 12:00 |
| oliver3 | thenewbie, you might have to restart X, the simplest way to do that is to restart your computer. Alternatively, log out, then press "CTRL+ALT+F1", login there, then type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart". | 12:01 |
| chiefbutz | Barbarello: Usually it is pretty good about selecting the right place, but if you did hd0 before and it didn't work then try hd1, likewise if you did hd1 before try hd0 | 12:01 |
| GNU\colossus | or log out from your desktop, and hit ctrl-alt-backspace | 12:01 |

| endo602 | hi | 12:03 |
| chiefbutz | Barbarello: I really need to apologize, I need to go. If you go to the community wiki for Ubuntu there are some good instructions for dual boots, also. If you install from a live CD and go to the liveCD desktop there is a graphical installer that does pretty well. Sorry I can't spend more time helping you | 12:03 |

| Rainpoint | Hi, I've already set-up a partition for installing Ubuntu; problem is when I start the installation it only gives me two options : Format the entire disk or do it manually | 12:20 |
| Rainpoint | There is no option showing to use the recently created partition | 12:20 |
| Rainpoint | I'm using Windows Vista. | 12:20 |
| rbs-tito | Rainpoint: Do it manually | 12:20 |
| thorm | ghehe now amarok got to work ;D | 12:21 |
| Waerner | If I have installed Samba, and have a system user called 'linus', why do I get access denied when trying to access the server from Windows? | 12:21 |
| Rainpoint | When I try to do it manually, the installer shows up three partitions | 12:21 |
| Rainpoint | My main partition, the ubuntu partition, and my backup. | 12:21 |
| rbs-tito | Rainpoint: It is pretty simple. You need two partitions to install ubuntu. One which you format as SWAP (Virtual memory) and another which you formats as etc3 with mountpoint / | 12:21 |
| lucard | list | 12:21 |
| Phydoux | Anyone know why I have to log in as root to mount a USB drive? | 12:21 |

| linux__alien | i ve installed User Mode Linux in 7.10 does anyone know how to execute it ? | 12:22 |
| rbs-tito | Rainpoint: Yeah. Delete the ubuntu partition in the installer and create two new ones where it used to be. You will need to do it anyway as Windows can't create the type of partition needed by Ubuntu | 12:22 |
| linux__alien | has anyone tried playing with User Mode Linux in 7.10. I installed it through synaptic from the ubuntu repositories | 12:23 |
| rbs-tito | Rainpoint: Just remember you need 1 formatted as SWAP (about 512MB or 1gb) | 12:23 |
| Rainpoint | okay. | 12:23 |
| Rainpoint | Then one as etc3? | 12:23 |
| rbs-tito | Rainpoint: And one formatted as etc3 with the mountpoint set as / | 12:23 |

| Deon | If it's not graphics related, but hardware, are there older or less "full on" versions of Ubuntu I can use? | 12:45 |

| max__ | sorry for the stupid question :) | 12:56 |
| brobostigon | type dmesg into cli. | 12:56 |
| maki_ | хи | 12:56 |
| erUSUL | Jimmey: i gues that firestarter will load the rules (if any) again when (re)started | 12:56 |
| maki_ | *hi | 12:56 |

| maki_ | i'm trying to convert a windows user to ubuntu, and i dont use ubuntu now, how can i install nvidia card ? | 12:58 |
| brobostigon | !pastebin | 12:58 |
| 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) | 12:58 |

| Keith-BlindUser | I've noticed, that on the Ubuntu CD, the combo box for applications that I've last ran (alt-f2) always remembers the last thing I typed. Is there a way to clear that information? | 12:59 |
| max__ | brobostigon: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45003/ | 12:59 |
| Jimmey | erUSUL, I still get the same error | 13:00 |
| steven43126 | Keith-BlindUser, probably stores it in your homedir somewhere? take a string from the combo box and grep for it ? | 13:00 |
| Keith-BlindUser | Ah | 13:00 |
| ppalmers | why does my gutsy consistenly load the legacy nvidia kernel module on boot? it has the correct one (the 'normal' nvidia.ko), and xorg only works with that one. when I load it manually it's ok, but at boot it always picks the wrong one. | 13:01 |
| brobostigon | max:have a look through dmesg and it does show that you hav a scsi cdrom | 13:02 |
| risto_ | hi | 13:02 |
| max__ | brobostigon: yes, i've got a cd recorder and a dvd recorder..cd works correctly | 13:03 |
| void^ | ppalmers: if you didn't add it to some autoload list, just remove it altogether in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common | 13:03 |
| risto_ | how to i can install docx support to open them in openofffice ? | 13:03 |
| pipelinexpc | ok I installed ndisgtk how do I get to it in ubuntu? | 13:03 |
| pipelinexpc | is it under system somewhere? | 13:03 |
| zhanx | max__, is it a blank cd in there? cause VRS is the Volume Recognition Sequence, which identifies the type of data on your CD | 13:04 |
| ppalmers | void^: it's not in there | 13:04 |
| max__ | no..there's a dvd film | 13:04 |
| zhanx | k | 13:04 |
| brobostigon | max: it shows only a normal cdrom, and a cdrw. | 13:05 |
| void^ | ppalmers: read the comment in the file. | 13:05 |
| xen_caapn | i'm having problems with opengl. low fps on a lot of opengl games.. glxgears also gives 1000 fps lower than usual | 13:05 |
| xen_caapn | can anyone help? | 13:05 |
| risto_ | how to i can install docx support to open them in openofffice ? | 13:05 |
| max__ | brobostigon: but there is a dvd rec, too :) | 13:05 |
| max__ | and with feisty it works correcty | 13:06 |
| brobostigon | it seems it does not recognise it, because it doesnt show it on boot in dmesg. | 13:06 |
| ppalmers | void^: I fail to see how that helps... I would have to add nvidia_new and nvidia_legacy to the disabled modules? | 13:06 |
| ppalmers | void^: I can't imagine that that's the 'ubuntu' way of getting this working | 13:07 |
| max__ | brobostigon: i can't install linux on that drive..i tried when i installed ubuntu | 13:07 |
| max__ | it's funny | 13:07 |
| void^ | ppalmers: the ubuntu way is a dirty hack anyway: multiple nvidia modules shouldn't exist to begin with. the fix is, therefore, to clean things up. | 13:08 |
| void^ | ppalmers: as an added benefit, you waste a little less memory in the restricted-modules tmpfs. | 13:08 |
| ppalmers | void^: ok, as long as it works... | 13:09 |

| terro | hunkyspunky, you have to go to the menu. system -----> administration ---> restricted driver | 13:33 |
| hunkyspunky | ok..let me go get my laptop..give me a minute | 13:33 |
| hunkyspunky | brb | 13:33 |
| hunkyspunky | oh..do i need to be connected tow ired internet to do this? | 13:33 |

| ReubenY | Hi, I have just installed an ATI card into my ubuntu system and although it installed the restricted drivers, i can't seem to pick a higher resolution for the card! It's a ATI 2600XT any ideas? | 13:35 |
| terro | shaffox, i don't know but you can type ps -A in a terminal and kill the aplication | 13:35 |
| hyper__ch | hiho, how can I encrypt additional drives after installation of an encrypted system? I found howtos but they will disrupt the boot splash | 13:35 |
| endo602 | Question: what is the best way to mirror a linux folder to XP? | 13:36 |
| hunkyspunky | teroo/.///its booting up now.....btw i dont even see a spalsh screen when it bootsup.....and it takes like a minute or 2 to bootup..... | 13:36 |
| piedoggie | endo602: personally, I prefer unison | 13:36 |
| piedoggie | it gives you bidirectional replication | 13:36 |
| endo602 | piedoggie does it do automatic sync? | 13:37 |
| piedoggie | it depends on your definition of automatic | 13:37 |
| hunkyspunky | is it suppose to take long to bootup ubuntu like 2 mintues on a new laptop...because i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on my system and after grub goes away i get no boot spalsh or anyhting on screen for like 2 mins..... then it goes to the desktop... | 13:37 |
| piedoggie | you can tell it to just synchronize everything on the push of a single keystroke | 13:37 |
| piedoggie | you can also configure it as a commandline option to run as a cron job | 13:38 |
| endo602 | i need to sync every 30 minutes | 13:38 |
| piedoggie | but making it synchronize when a file has changed takes a bit of work | 13:38 |
| hunkyspunky | uh...oh.. | 13:38 |
| hunkyspunky | i'm scrwed | 13:38 |
| terro | hunkyspunky, what happend? | 13:38 |
| hunkyspunky | my laptop is showing video is messed with lines going eveythwere | 13:38 |
| endo602 | can you have it timed? | 13:38 |
| piedoggie | only as a cron job | 13:38 |
| Arelis | Hmm.. guys, what is the best distro or operating system for a person who wants every piece of hardware to just work, right at the moment when i plug it in... A distro or OS for a creative person who NEEDS Adobe Flash CS3 and ArtRage 2, and other parts should "just work" too. No need to choose between all the different desktop environments, window managers, and all that stuff... Which would be good for me? My computer specs are: CPU: AMD Athlon | 13:39 |
| hunkyspunky | i can kinda see the desktop...but there lines everyhwer wna d screens gojng up and down | 13:39 |
| hyper__ch | Arelis: MacOS X | 13:39 |
| hunkyspunky | should i turn it off and reboot? | 13:39 |
| brobostigon | mac os x | 13:39 |
| Ubuntu-Nerd | what version are you running hunkyspunky? | 13:39 |
| leo_ubuntu | hi! | 13:39 |
| hunkyspunky | 7.10 | 13:39 |
| hunkyspunky | fresh installed yesterday | 13:39 |
| Ubuntu-Nerd | ok | 13:40 |
| hunkyspunky | mobility raedon x1400 video car din it | 13:40 |
| endo602 | piedoggie how do i set it up as cronjob? | 13:40 |
| Arelis | hyper__ch, brobostigon: Everyone keeps saying that, but it won't work on my computer, and isn't free.. | 13:40 |
| hunkyspunky | it did show desktop yesterday....but it never showed a boot spl;ash... and now i getting messed video | 13:40 |
| leo_ubuntu | I have a little problem with sound here: I have two soundcards: one integrated on the mb, and a pci soundcard. By default, ubuntu is using the integrated one: how may i use the pci one instead ? | 13:40 |
| hyper__ch | Arelis: windows in a virtual machine | 13:40 |
| piedoggie | endo602: man cron and crontab | 13:40 |
| endo602 | ok thanks | 13:40 |
| Ubuntu-Nerd | hunkyspunky go on system at the top then go on prefrences then apperance | 13:40 |
| endo602 | i can probably use rsync with that too? | 13:40 |
| piedoggie | that'll get you started. It's unfortunate but Cron is rather unintuitive | 13:41 |
| piedoggie | yes, you can use rsync as well. | 13:41 |
| hunkyspunky | i gotta reboot cause i couldnt see anyhting..i hope it comes back to life this time | 13:41 |
| wiw | Hello, just got a Dell m1330 laptop and ubuntu doesn't like the dell 1505 wireless n card (by broadcom). I've tried looking up for guides but they didn't help much... so I want to try ndiswrapper now. What's the easiest way to get that working on a fresh install of ubuntu 7.10? | 13:41 |
| piedoggie | What's the target going to be? | 13:41 |
| Ubuntu-Nerd | ok | 13:41 |
| xen_caapn | arelis, isn't cs3 only on os x and windows ? | 13:41 |
| arsenip | guys | 13:41 |
| hunkyspunky | it took like 4 mintues to bootup ubuntu.....that kina dont sound right | 13:41 |
| arsenip | whats the main differences between server / desktop installer? | 13:41 |
| Arelis | xen_caapn: yep.. | 13:41 |

| xen_caapn | arsenip, server has no x window i think ? | 13:42 |
| hunkyspunky | on a intel duo core 1.6ghz 1gb memeory..i think it should be faster then this..soemthing wrong with it | 13:42 |
| piedoggie | should bring you to cwRsync | 13:42 |
| lae129 | hi!just join | 13:42 |
| hunkyspunky | ok i got desktops creen now | 13:42 |
| hunkyspunky | this time it only took a minute to bootup :) | 13:42 |
| xen_caapn | hunky, i have some specs | 13:42 |
| xen_caapn | shouldn't be 4 | 13:42 |
| hunkyspunky | video is so far so good | 13:42 |
| Ubuntu-Nerd | ok | 13:42 |
| endo602 | that is the windows syncer? | 13:43 |
| hunkyspunky | now i need to get wifi going | 13:43 |
| hunkyspunky | before i goto work..lol.. | 13:43 |
| piedoggie | that is the Windows side of rsync containing client and server | 13:43 |
| Ubuntu-Nerd | lol | 13:43 |
| hunkyspunky | i'm in resticted drivers manager | 13:43 |
| maki_ | wine is not working in ubuntu 7.10 on virtualbox | 13:44 |
| hunkyspunky | it says no properitary drivers are in use | 13:44 |
| adante | hi, what is the easiest way to get a flash-playing thing installed into firefox in ubuntu? | 13:44 |
| Ubuntu-Nerd | are you the main user of your system? | 13:44 |
| hyper__ch | adante: adding medibuntu repos | 13:44 |
| Varka | as dvd+rw-format is used to format a dvd-ram medium prior using mkudffs for creating an udf-filesystem, what would be the proper way to format a flash-usb-pen-drive prior creating an udf-filesystem with mkudffs on it? | 13:44 |
| amadeux | suddenly, clicking hyperlinks in pidgin stopped working. no browser window is being opened. Help! | 13:44 |
| endo602 | see i dont mind having it delete from source after sync is that cool too? | 13:44 |
| adante | hyper__ch: alright.. is this also the recommended way? (will i have people screaming at me next time i try to get help? :) | 13:44 |
| xen_caapn | adante: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/login | 13:45 |
| xen_caapn | oops, wrong link | 13:45 |

| lae129 | how to install cadence SPB15.7 | 13:45 |
| hunkyspunky | isee the firmware for boradcom chipset fmaily...and when i try to click on enable it says...the software source for the package is not enabled | 13:45 |
| piedoggie | I'm not sure I follow. | 13:45 |
| hunkyspunky | any ideas?...btw like is aid ealier it lists my wiif connection inn termnaial as disabled..for some reason | 13:46 |
| terro | hunkyspunky, to enabled you need to go to application ----> add programs---> on the up side of the windows to the right choose every app available or something like that | 13:46 |
| adante | okay thanks hyper__ch | 13:46 |
| eghjaytee | does anyone have any suggestions for filesystem access over IP aside from NFS or samaba? | 13:46 |
| brobostigon | ftp | 13:47 |
| eghjaytee | retard | 13:47 |
| hunkyspunky | allm aviable applications u mean? | 13:47 |
| terro | hunkyspunky, your wifi is off because you did this echo blacklist bcm43xx >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 13:47 |
| hyper__ch | adante: sorry, flash player isn't in there... | 13:47 |
| hyper__ch | adante: but other interesting stuff | 13:47 |
| adante | alright | 13:47 |
| hunkyspunky | anyway to fix it ? | 13:48 |
| se-agapo | any software for connection between ubuntu and pocket pc ? | 13:48 |
| piedoggie | eghjaytee: it depends on what you want to do | 13:48 |
| hyper__ch | adante: if you went to a flash site, didn't ff offer to download and install it? | 13:48 |
| captine | hi all. anyone had success with multiple displays using ati mobility graphics with compiz running? | 13:48 |
| captine | am wanting to extend my desktop | 13:48 |
| se-agapo | for synchronize | 13:48 |
| piedoggie | eghjaytee: for example, you can replicate using rsync or unison | 13:48 |
| hunkyspunky | teroo..so what should i do now? | 13:49 |
| piedoggie | you can also use webdav and ssh to provide pseudo-remote filesystem access | 13:49 |
| adante | hyper__ch: hmm seems to be now, i will try | 13:49 |
| adante | hyper__ch: so i should just download one of the tar.gz, rpm or yums and install it? | 13:49 |
| knofi | hi | 13:49 |
| terro | hunkyspunky, did you enabled everything? | 13:49 |
| knofi | i have a problem using cups | 13:49 |
| hyper__ch | adante: nope | 13:49 |
| endo602 | piedoggie what good does that do me? | 13:49 |
| hyper__ch | adante: did you try synaptic? | 13:50 |
| PriceChild | !rpm | adante | 13:50 |
| ubotu | adante: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 13:50 |
| hunkyspunky | i'm in add/remove applications.... and in the show drop down menu... i got it set to all avlaible applications..i dont quite get what i need to do here | 13:50 |
| se-agapo | any software for connection between ubuntu and pocket pc for synchronize ??? | 13:50 |
| wiw | Umm.. how can I go from a fresh install of 7.10 -> ndiswrapper (or any other ways) -> working dell 1505 wireless card? | 13:50 |
| piedoggie | endo602: I was replying to another user that seems to have vanished | 13:50 |
| terro | hunkyspunky, just that. now you can close the windows | 13:50 |
| Snille | Hi all, If I want to build a very simple GUI for a command-line program. Ex. A window with buttons to press to execute a command (like if I where typing it in a terminal). What application should I use to design the GUI? | 13:51 |
| hunkyspunky | ok all windows closed now | 13:51 |
| knofi | sharing of printers doesnt work any more | 13:51 |
| ctothej | I'm trying to set up evolution to work in tandem with an online calendar system (eg. WebCalendar) on my own shared host (LAMP based). Though, I am not having any luck. Anyone set something like this up before? What can I use? | 13:51 |
| endo602 | piedoggie i was talking about cwrsync | 13:51 |
| endo602 | i dont get what i should do with it | 13:51 |
| endo602 | i can ssh into my box no problem | 13:51 |
| hunkyspunky | what should i do next? | 13:52 |
| piedoggie | endo602: sorry, I get confused sometimes. :-) cwrsync is the Windows side of synchronization. Which direction are you going to replicate data? Is the authoritative image going to be Windows or Linux? | 13:52 |
| Keeguon | hey is someone know a little about python and gstreamer? | 13:53 |
| endo602 | sending info from linux to windows | 13:53 |
| knofi | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45011/ | 13:53 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: many people probably know a little about it.... what's the q? | 13:53 |
| terro | hunkyspunky, well now you need an update. maybe you can go to system ---> administration ---> update or something | 13:53 |
| knofi | does anyone know my problem or a way to fix it? | 13:53 |
| hunkyspunky | update manager? | 13:53 |
| hunkyspunky | terro can you pls join #terro ? | 13:54 |

| adante | hyper__ch: i'm not really that interested in free or whatever, i just want one which will play flash best (low cpu etc) | 13:54 |
| hyper__ch | adante: what ubuntu version? | 13:54 |
| Ely | Ubuntu user here | 13:54 |
| rubydiamond_ | is there any way to save the chats I do here online | 13:54 |
| hyper__ch | !flash | adante | 13:54 |
| ctothej | Ely: Yes, do you want it to automatically start when you log in with your user account? | 13:54 |
| Keeguon | ctothej: well the fact is I have a sound notification that should normally make a sound and instead of that it's making the system beep noise which is annoying... | 13:54 |
| sandrokottos | quit | 13:54 |
| piedoggie | endo602: okay, you have the choice of pulling versus pushing. In my experience, using Windows to pull the data from linux is usually much more successful than | 13:55 |
| Ely | ctothej, yes! | 13:55 |
| piedoggie | the other way around | 13:55 |
| ubotu | adante: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 13:55 |
| sandaru1 | Ely: if you are looking for something to start after you started the X session, try System -> Preferences -> Sessions | 13:55 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: yeah, it is not recognizing your sound card. | 13:55 |
| adante | hyper__ch: gutsy | 13:55 |
| adante | hyper__ch: thanks | 13:55 |
| RoyK | argh | 13:55 |
| endo602 | piedoggie ok ill try it out | 13:55 |
| Ely | thanks sandaru1 and ctothej let me try that | 13:55 |
| ctothej | Ely: follow what sandaru1 just said. | 13:55 |
| ctothej | Yep | 13:55 |
| RoyK | the installer loaded the correct vga driver, and special effects worked | 13:55 |
| Keeguon | ctothej: then what I'm supposed to do since every sounds, music and all that working except that thing :( | 13:56 |
| RoyK | but now, after installing to disk, I can't make ubuntu 7.10 use anything but the vesa driver | 13:56 |
| piedoggie | endo602: I would set up a rsync server on linux and use the cwrsync client to pull things back to Windows | 13:56 |
| IMYojimbo | Anyone familiar with Quicksilver? | 13:56 |
| hyper__ch | adante: you haven't enabled multiverse yet - as it seems | 13:56 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: what app isn't working? Why do you mention python? | 13:56 |
| RoyK | this is with a radeon 9600 card | 13:56 |
| se-agapo | any software for connection between ubuntu and pocket pc for synchronize ??? | 13:56 |
| ReubenY | Hi I am still having problems getting my ATI card to work with ubuntu. I have installed the restricted driver but can't seem to choose it in the Screen and Graphics settings...I can't get my resolution high as well...could you please assist? card is a 2600XT | 13:57 |
| endo602 | piedoggie can i set the windows side on a timer? | 13:57 |
| bulmer | !synce | 13:57 |
| ubotu | Details of setting up synce-serial at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PocketPCHowto | 13:57 |
| piedoggie | I think so. Windows has the equivalent of cron although I don't know much about it | 13:57 |
| ctothej | ubotu: tell se-agapo about synce | 13:57 |
| Keeguon | ctothej: I mention emesene and sound notification, I took a look in the "plugin" who does the sound in normal time I figured out it's using gst so gstreamer in python but can't get a sound with that | 13:58 |
| endo602 | piedoggie have you ever used this? | 13:58 |
| brobostigon | !synce | 13:58 |
| ubotu | Details of setting up synce-serial at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PocketPCHowto | 13:58 |
| piedoggie | endo602: here's a possibility http://www.visualcron.com/ | 13:58 |
| piedoggie | there are others if you google Windows cron | 13:58 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: any other apps that use gstreamer work with sound? | 13:59 |
| ceil420 | t's "update-manager -d" to update teh distro, right? | 13:59 |
| ceil420 | erm, +sudo | 13:59 |
| endo602 | piedoggie have you ever used this? | 13:59 |
| ReubenY | anyone please? :( | 13:59 |
| piedoggie | I've used a variety of replication programs for Windows to Linux file copying. I use delta copy to back up my machine and I use unison for software development | 13:59 |
| piedoggie | Delta copy might be a better synchronization program for you because I think that has a scheduler built-in | 13:59 |
| ceil420 | actually, it should ask for my pass... | 14:00 |
| * ceil420 ponders | 14:00 | |
| endo602 | will copy files from linux to windows? | 14:00 |
| piedoggie | yes | 14:00 |
| Keeguon | ctothej: everything except I think since Exaile is working and it's using Gstreamer as far as I know... | 14:00 |
| Ely | thanks sandaru1 and ctothej that's exactly what I was looking for. | 14:00 |
| piedoggie | bringing up my copy now | 14:00 |
| Keeguon | oup | 14:00 |
| Mark17_ | does anybody know something about vshed? | 14:00 |
| sandaru1 | Ely: you are welcome! | 14:00 |
| === Mark17_ is now known as Mark17 | ||
| sandaru1 | Keeguon: totem works? | 14:02 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: run this command "gstreamer-properties" | 14:02 |
| Keeguon | sandaru1: yep but I'm using xine backend so... | 14:02 |
| piedoggie | looks like using Delphi copy is not quite right for the Windows side. It wants to always push and pulling is a royal pain | 14:02 |
| robobob | wot r the latest nvidia drivers called? | 14:03 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: what sound plugin are you using for your other programs that work? (eg. Alsa, ESD, OSS) | 14:03 |
| piedoggie | endo602: stick with cwrsync or unison and it should be easier to get working | 14:03 |

| ctothej | ||YoNiS||: that didn't work so well now did it! | 14:03 |
| mosibfu | robobob: nvidia-glx-new its for 7000 and 8000 series | 14:03 |
| Keeguon | ctothej: OSS | 14:03 |
| endo602 | piedoggie i asked you if you used this because it says i need to make a batch file? | 14:03 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: lets set it as OSS in the gstreamer-properties dialog... | 14:04 |
| Ely | sandaru1, do you know if there's a way to change the default path of the Music and Video folders under the Places menu? someone helped me yesterday with changing their paths at /home/ely/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 14:04 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: in the default output | 14:04 |
| piedoggie | unison has a minimally useful GUI | 14:04 |
| Ely | it was supposed to work after reboot but still editing that didnt make any difference | 14:04 |
| robobob | wot bout 4 older versions | 14:04 |
| piedoggie | cwrsync is commandline only | 14:04 |
| mtgf | Does the Ubuntu live CD include ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant? | 14:04 |
| mtgf | 'Or at least a way to connect my wireless card? | 14:04 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: then close that and test out a sound | 14:05 |
| jrib | !wifi > mtgf (read the private message from ubotu) | 14:05 |
| piedoggie | but that's okay because that's what you need for a cron environment | 14:05 |
| sandaru1 | Ely: let me check | 14:05 |
| mtgf | Thank you | 14:05 |
| Ely | thanks so much sandaru1 | 14:05 |
| Keeguon | ctothej: already did that but there's something wierd with gstreamer-properties when I run it I got some errors of the type: "gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'pluginname'" | 14:05 |
| jrib | mtgf: not installed but the packages are on the cd for you to install I *think* | 14:05 |

| Ayabara | I`m having sound problems on a HP Pavilion dv9525. No sound when I use the live cd, and no sound on my installed ubuntu. | 14:09 |
| Keeguon | ctothej: that's really strange cause sound is working everywhere and there's no problem with the source of the plugin cause I tested it out on an another Ubuntu and it works as a charm but there can't get rid of that annoying system beep | 14:09 |
| sandaru1 | Ely: my menu seems to automatically figured out which folder to use :D.. may be because i set it so in banshee.. | 14:10 |

| jrib | !sound > ayabara (read the private message from ubotu) | 14:10 |
| Rainpoin1 | !sound | 14:10 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 14:10 |

| piedoggie | endo602: if it's a one-time thing, I would use something like winscp (( which has a kind of useful synchronization feature) but for any sort of repeated synchronization, I would use unison or rsync | 14:14 |

| ctothej | Keeguon: seems like the program is programmed to make a system beep | 14:14 |
| jorgerosa | oi, pessoal | 14:14 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: maybe a setting in the program can turn it off? also, you can turn off system beep altogether as well. | 14:15 |

| ctothej | giany911: hmm looks like that chan is dead | 14:16 |
| Keeguon | ctothej: no since it plays a real sound in another installation and I checked the code here's how it works if the sound can't be played with gstreamer then it plays the system beep that's my case but it should play the sound through gstreamer instead | 14:16 |
| giany911 | i'll ask my question here too, just to be sure, is there a shortcut key to change the font size in open office writer ? | 14:16 |

| bobbob1016_ | Rainpoin1, In rhythmbox, you have to set it to find the MP3's there. You have to go into the preferences, and set the music folder to be where the MP3's are. | 14:27 |

| Rainpoin1 | I see. | 14:31 |

| ctothej | Keeguon: brb | 14:31 |
| atlef | Rainpoin1 : go to add/remove programs, search for ubuntu restricted and install that | 14:31 |
| bobbob1016_ | Rainpoin1, Meaning if you have XP and Ubuntu, leave them on one drive, then have the other look at that partition for the data. I'd say Ubuntu should hold the MP3's, since there is an ext3 driver for XP, so you can browse the Ubuntu drive from XP. | 14:32 |
| jrib | kane77: read 'man usermod' | 14:32 |
| predaeus | kane77, you should be able to just copy it over and then mount the new location as the user's home folder | 14:32 |

| ctothej | Keeguon: lets think of what a reinstallation would have accomplished. There probably weren't any files missing. It is possible that shared libraries were re-linked. I don't think home directory config files would have been replaced either. | 14:53 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bcm44xx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 14:55 |
| Keeguon | ctothej: that's why I switched to Fedora last week :) | 14:55 |
| Tyroazard | I'm pretty sure I have to get the file to run with that | 14:55 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: that might be a good idea. Maybe I'll virtualize it and play around... | 14:55 |

| ceil420 | nicolah, i think it's Bjork, but in a typeset that doesn't support umlauts | 14:57 |
| linux__alien | Keeguon, you switched to fedora any reason? | 14:58 |
| linux__alien | and which version of Fedora did you install ? | 14:58 |
| nicolah | it's a website fault, isn't it ? | 14:58 |
| ceil420 | nicolah, Bjórk* | 14:58 |

| ceil420 | could be your browser | 14:58 |
| ceil420 | not likely, tho | 14:58 |
| ctothej | linux__alien: know anything about reinstalling/reconfiguring gstreamer in fedora? | 14:59 |
| Keeguon | linux__alien: I switched to Fedora 8 cause of the recent release and it was a distribution I wanted to try | 14:59 |
| ctothej | linux__alien: any sort of reconfigure/reset option in package management? | 14:59 |
| linux__alien | ctothej, whats the problem actually . Uninstall the package that you lastly installed | 15:00 |
| aoupi | nicolah: if it is in firefox try: View-> Character Encoding and select Unicode or westers (whichever is not selected) | 15:00 |

| ceil420 | aoupi, it's the website. somehow, i'm managing to see both "Björk" and "Björk" on the same page | 15:00 |
| ctothej | linux__alien: Keeguon, is having some issues with gstreamer apps. I solved my issues by reinstalling the gstreamer app and plugins. Wondering if he can do the same without removing all the dependencies... | 15:01 |
| ceil420 | don't know how they pulled that off | 15:01 |

| richard | and it does not work can someone help me | 15:02 |
| linux__alien | ctothej, if you use yum even if its going to remove dependencies too its not a problem | 15:02 |
| richard | thank you | 15:02 |
| linux__alien | ctothej, coz when you install you are gonna get it back | 15:02 |
| aoupi | un_dave: yes | 15:02 |
| Keeguon | linux__alien: in fact it's my problem I have an app written in python that use gstreamer to emit a sound on a precise event and if not possible use system beep the thing is my gstreamer working fine but the app is not emitting sound it's emitting the beep... | 15:02 |

| Keeguon | linux__alien: you mean that if I remove all my gstreamer packages with yum and it's removing some dependencies like things in openoffice then I reinstall them it's gonna reinstall them all? and it is really usefull in my case...? | 15:06 |
| linux__alien | yes | 15:06 |
| linux__alien | yum is gonna handle everything for you | 15:07 |
| ctothej | richard: read up a bit on web cams and if you have any issues past what can be read, come back and ask away. also, you can search on the forums at ubuntuforums.org | 15:07 |

| drulux | Alright ArthurArchnix, works like a charm. | 15:07 |
| drulux | Thanks. | 15:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | ceil420: Great. | 15:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | drulux: Np. | 15:08 |
| ctothej | Keeguon: its worth a shot... doesn't seem to be much risk either | 15:08 |
| linux__alien | i guess the problem would be this | 15:08 |
| linux__alien | when packages are installed in Fedora especially the libs it installs it in a particular loction and your program might look into some other location | 15:09 |
| linux__alien | and thats why you get a beep instead of the sound | 15:09 |
| bbm4n | guys can i ask something about java installation? | 15:09 |
| Keeguon | so you think python is looking for the gst module in the wrong path since there's no erros | 15:10 |

| brobostigon | hi | 15:11 |
| rapid | i can tell u its a D25 connector :) | 15:11 |
| ctothej | Keeguon, linux__alien: I think it highly likely that it is a linking/path issue. I think that is why the reinstalltion worked for me, because it recreated the symlinks to the relevant libraries. | 15:11 |
| droogie | I dont know what i have done, but the titlebar text on gnome-windows is suddenly large and bold. | 15:12 |
| Keeguon | ctothej: ok I'm trying then... | 15:12 |
| droogie | the font settings say it should be 10px, but it is not... anybody got any ideas? | 15:12 |
| linux__alien | Keeguon, try doing a ldconfig too | 15:12 |

| junkeR | hello everyone, I am using FF 2.0.0.8, Ubuntu 7.10 - I want it where I click the middle (scroll button) on my mouse where I can pan the webpage... like it does in Windows.

| linux__alien | get the path and ask your python to program to take the .so from the given path | 15:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | droogie: You know how to open up the theme controls and get to your font config? | 15:13 |
| bbm4n | how can i specifically tell java to read the classpath? | 15:13 |
| farOut | I cant seem to upgrade my feisty fawn to gutsy gibbon | 15:14 |
| loneranger | how could i configure two Wlan cards to two different networks, and assign different apps to each card? | 15:14 |
| predaeus | bbm4n, there is an option classpath for java, look at "man java" | 15:15 |
| ctothej | bbm4n: "java -classpath" | 15:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | farOut: You have your files backed up I presume, then in a terminal have you tried "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 15:15 |
| droogie | ArthurArchnix: yeah, found out. But... it must be wrong... I made the title smaller by using 8px.... its still pretty large, but more usable now. | 15:15 |
| ctothej | bbm4n: follow what pradaeus said, and you can also use the "java -help" command to display usage. | 15:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | droogie: And if you click on details, what is the resolution, dots per inch. | 15:16 |

| ArthurArchnix | droogie: Hmm... and what font have you chosen for your title bar, that is, what if you choose a default one like sans? | 15:17 |
| droogie | ArthurArchnix: it is the default settings :/ | 15:18 |
| bbm4n | ok i found it but to specify my question i need to know if there is a way to force java to read a file that has stored the classpath | 15:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | droogie: And it's just the windows title bar that's messed up, no other font sizes? | 15:18 |
| droogie | ArthurArchnix: only the title bar | 15:18 |
| bbm4n | so i don't have to enter it manually | 15:18 |

| Moduliz0r__ | adduser alex users? | 15:43 |
| bbm4n | <bulmer>: omg! | 15:43 |
| Moduliz0r__ | But then what about the home dir?! | 15:44 |
| bbm4n | <bulmer>: how do they work? | 15:44 |
| schidamb | Arthur, I've a .pdf file, and I wan to edit, can I do that in openoffice? | 15:44 |
| bulmer | Moduliz0r__-> that looks okay..i can not recall the options..i always have to man for it | 15:44 |
| bbm4n | <bulmer>: i mean can you install them unistall them or something? | 15:44 |
| bbm4n | <bulmer>: or each shell ships by its own default ones? | 15:44 |
| jrib | Moduliz0r__: no, just 'adduser alex', unless you really want him in the "users" group for some reason (not default in ubuntu). home will be /home/alex automatically. | 15:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | schidamb: I'm not aware of any program that can edit a pdf file. Let me know if you find one. | 15:45 |
| bulmer | bbm4n-> yes you can de-install some of them, but leave it there as you may need them | 15:45 |
| Moduliz0r__ | ok cool | 15:45 |
| bulmer | bbm4n-> most likely each shell has its own eccentricities..those commands are there for scripting or cli | 15:46 |
| zimon | schidamb, if you only want to fill in forms, evince should work (but fails, sometimes) | 15:46 |

A distro or OS for a creative person who NEEDS Adobe Flash CS3 and ArtRage 2, and other parts should "just work" too. No need to choose between all the different desktop environments, window managers, and all that stuff... Which would be good for me? My computer specs are: CPU: AMD Athlon | 16:09 |
| ScriptDevil | BigDaddy: yeah.. | 16:09 |
| Xsss4hell | BigDaddy try QT for windows ;) | 16:09 |

| BigDaddy | Sciptdevil - do you know of any linux file manager even remotely close to that file manager? | 16:09 |
| toresn_ | ScriptDevil: i'm a newbie, so i used the 'Screen and graphics'-application | 16:10 |
| brobostigon | either ppc mac or intel mac formac os x | 16:10 |
| Arelis | ScriptDevil: Except OS X | 16:10 |
| toresn_ | ScriptDevil: ...and silly me, i haven't made a backup of the xorg.conf | 16:10 |
| linux__alien | Keeguon, grep for gstreamer.so i guess it should be in /usr/local/lib just check whether you see libgstreamer.so | 16:10 |
| wolfeySI | toresn_: you can always autogenerate xorg.conf by sudo X -configure | 16:11 |
| wolfeySI | i think | 16:11 |
| ScriptDevil | Arelis: Ubuntu does stuff right... but.. err.. you may have to look for alternate software | 16:11 |

| bulmer | wolfeySI-> you are patient one indeed, a true linux'er by heart..hehe | 16:25 |
| ader10 | attunix: If I click a link in firefox the mouse dissappears, I want to know how to find out what it is :S | 16:26 |
| wolfeySI | bulmer: considering that i run gentoo for almost two years, i am patient | 16:26 |
| ScriptDevil | ehird`: if you want it clean, go in for a cd install and keep the home partition the same | 16:26 |
| BigDaddy | thanks predaeus, I think I will try the vanilla install. I also just found some pidgin plugins. I may try those as well | 16:26 |
| ScriptDevil | wolfeySI: i ran gentoo for 2 years too.. am hell impatient.. used to run the emerges through the night | 16:27 |
| attunix | ader10: sorry, I can't figure it out. Ask your question to the whole group again, or try #firefox perhaps :) | 16:27 |

| no0tic | bulmer, openoffice "generic printer" but I can't manage to know how.. | 16:37 |
| bulmer | no0tic-> then try to manually print a file, like so lpr -Pprintername filename | 16:37 |
| bulmer | no0tic-> i dont know how openoffice does it..let me see if anything i can dig up on the config file | 16:38 |

| joeb3_ | wolferine, use smbpasswd to set the samba password. | 16:43 |
| bulmer | no0tic-> thats a good sign you can print using lpr, perhaps if you include that -H servername option on firefox to recognize the remote cups ? | 16:43 |

| nanbudh | if i create an APTONCD cd from my current gutsy installation(which has been done using alt AMD64 Gutsy CD), willl i be able to use all the packages on i386 installation too? | 16:59 |

| Fxyz4ever | ackdesha: but i need to zip a .exe | 16:59 |
| joeb3_ | franky123, sorry, if you added. | 16:59 |
| xristian | because ubuntu is a steady operating systems, unlike winsuckz | 16:59 |
| zul777 | jrib: no, do you thinks it's corrupted? | 16:59 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | nanbudh, I doubt that would work | 16:59 |
| jrib | zul777: you should choose that option from the cd's boot menu | 16:59 |
| franky123 | joeb3_: the file was blank before, so i added. there's no "listen" at all in apache2.conf or httpd.conf | 16:59 |
| ackdesha | Fxyz4ever: zip a .exe or create a self-extracting archive (like what people in Win do with Winzip)? | 16:59 |
| bulmer | franky123-> or you have to kill the running httpd then restart for changes to take effect | 17:00 |
| nanbudh | Learning-Ubuntu: beacuse the packages are different for i 386? | 17:00 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | Yes | 17:00 |
| xristian | i told you, use 7 zip. is installable for ubuntu | 17:00 |
| Jacen | Can someone please help me with changing the size of subtitles in Mplayer? | 17:00 |
| Fxyz4ever | ackdesha: just a simple zip | 17:00 |
| nanbudh | hmm. Gutsy is troubling me so much! and dapper was so stable | 17:00 |
| franky123 | bulmer: i have restarted apache many times but i can't get it to wrok still | 17:00 |
| bulmer | frank23-> these are two separate pc | 17:01 |
| Kanuha | how can I activate a module in ubuntu? | 17:01 |
| bulmer | frank23-> these are two separate pc's right? | 17:01 |
| zul777 | jrib: yeah, i'll check it right now | 17:01 |
| nanbudh | okay next topic. what is the best alternative for animation in open source? | 17:01 |
| ackdesha | Fxyz4ever: use Create Archive in nautilus, or 7zip as suggested or install zip/unzip command line tools. Any of those should work. | 17:01 |
| xristian | u just try synaptics package administration | 17:01 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | nanbudh, Whats the problem you are having with AMD64? | 17:01 |
| franky123 | bulmer: no, i'm trying to get apache working on local machine | 17:01 |
| bulmer | Kanuha-> you load them | 17:01 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | nanbudh, Im new to this and Im doing great. In fact I just found a command line IRC client that Im reading about | 17:02 |
| Kanuha | bulmer, how can I do that? | 17:02 |
| wolferine | when I surf to my linux drive on my windows network, I get prompted for my user/pass, but it doesnt allow it, samba sets a different pass than the user/pass ? ( samba's smbpasswd gives me: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE ) | 17:02 |
| joeb3_ | franky123, use "BindAddress 127.0.0.1".. | 17:02 |
| bulmer | Kanuha-> modprobe modulename | 17:02 |
| nanbudh | not one but many but mainly freeze ups along with corrupted graphics. read the AMD64 thread on ubuntu forums and u will find the desease is rampant | 17:02 |
| ackdesha | Fxyz4ever: or run file-roller | 17:02 |
| bulmer | franky123-> umm..httpd is running okay though right? just the ip address issue? | 17:03 |
| Fxyz4ever | ackdesha: on the exe when i right click, theres no option create archive | 17:03 |
| nanbudh | i have to re boot at least a couple of times before the i get any worthwhile work done | 17:03 |

| ackdesha | Fxyz4ever: You are in Gnome Nautilus? | 17:04 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | nanbudh, You have a thread up with the problem there? | 17:04 |

| ackdesha | Fxyz4ever: If you are comfortable with the shell, try zip myarchive.zip myfile.exe | 17:06 |
| astro76 | !virus | santh_ | 17:06 |

| Kanuha | bulmer, it shows pwc 86400 0 | 17:06 |

| Learning-Ubuntu | nanbudh, By any chance do you crash immediately or after some time on your system? | 17:11 |
| Phill | santh_: You have to install... You're binary driver for the video card probably. | 17:11 |
| rpj8 | Hey guys. WHen I have gdm start me off with .xsession file, does it automatically make use of the "restricted drivers"? In other words, will it use the nvidia drivers that I have running while in gnome? | 17:11 |

| Learning-Ubuntu | nanbudh, I would crash earlier but I found out that a service was eating through my memory... trackerd . Killd it and disabled the indexing process. I havent crashed since. But then again that wouldnt cause display problems | 17:12 |
| ttt | bulmer: i dont really get what your saying. it would be cool if you could point me towords some kind of tutorial, or at least give me some buzzwords, so i can read more on the topic... | 17:12 |
| joeb3_ | franky123, remove what you added before and modify the ports.conf listen option. | 17:12 |

| ttt | bulmer: but not all are active at the very same time. i think wifi and ath are only active when i connect with my wirelless card, and eth is only active when i have internet via plug. (and i think wifi and ath are related somehow) so i dont really see a problem, but im not an expert in the field | 17:16 |

| jrib | !anyone | perroso | 17:17 |
| ubotu | perroso: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 17:17 |
| Jacen | Can someone just say yes they you can or no you can't help me? I really do understand you're all busy but a simple please wait or no, we can't help would be nice. | 17:17 |
| jrib | !please | Jacen | 17:18 |
| ubotu | Jacen: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 17:18 |
| franky123 | joeb3_: so i'm not sure how to read this but there's something like chain INPUT policy DROP and under it is listed ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere and ACCEPT 0 localhost anywhere | 17:18 |
| bulmer | !patience | Jacen | 17:18 |
| Phill | santh_: You may have to go to System → Preferences → Appearance → Desktop Effects and select Custom to enable it. | 17:18 |

| alex-weej | jaak_: http://fs-driver.org/ | 17:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jaak_: You can use fat32 partition for some things | 17:20 |
| ehird` | jrib: just a few. Mainly my code. | 17:20 |
| franky123 | joeb3_: ls *ip* and *fire* turn up nothing | 17:21 |
| jrib | ehird`: then you have to back it up somehow or move it to its own partition | 17:21 |
| bob__ | Jack_Sparrow: why not ext3? | 17:21 |
| Phill | jaak_: Yeah you could have a fat32 partition and have Ext3 and do read/write between them - but I just don't suggest it. | 17:21 |
| alex-weej | bob__: because no-one needs files as big as 2 GB | 17:21 |

| ubotu | 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.

| ubotu | krzysiek: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 17:49 |
| Phill | jhaz: I think you have to download Raid support. | 17:49 |
| adminz | Fezzler: The permissoins should be under the securtiy section on your smb.conf folder | 17:49 |

| ceil420 | linux is classed as "unix-like", along with mac os x | 17:50 |

| Phill | Why do you want Unix... | 17:51 |
| ehird` | mavi-: it is getting certified though | 17:51 |
| ceil420 | Phill, i've repeatedly heard that OS X is built on FreeBSD | 17:51 |
| mavi- | oh | 17:51 |
| mavi- | its on the unix03 list | 17:51 |
| brobostigon | unix is an architecture, from my point of view mac os x and linux look more or less the same. | 17:51 |

| nareshov | !it | urlo | 19:03 |
| ubotu | urlo: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 19:03 |
| riotkittie | OldPink: why? | 19:03 |
| desertc | nareshov: Great! I'm looking into it now. That'd be wonderful, but I don't think mpeg recording is available to DVDs. It's much needed. | 19:03 |
| l0p3z | huiii, don't know, (i want a more compressed file) | 19:03 |
| nareshov | riderrr, have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix ? | 19:03 |
| riderrr | no | 19:03 |
| tecywiz121 | anyone? | 19:04 |
| nareshov | see if that helps | 19:04 |
| OldPink | riotkittie: Tried four seperate, Ubuntu Shipit gutsy live CDs, all of which freeze on my desktop, whereas Feisty resizes, partitions and formats fine using gparted. And on my laptop it takes 10 minutes to scan the drives, having taken seconds on Feisty. So on both the live CD and the installed system there's problems, on two seperate computers | 19:04 |
| riderrr | i'll try it but i am not sure what parameters i should put in? | 19:04 |
| desertc | tecywiz121: Sounds like a tough problem. | 19:04 |
| huiii | ok, than i would advise u to encode it to divx, thereis a superb option wich makes conversations very beautiful, i'll pass u the command, moment, meanwhile read the man pages, terminal: man mencoder | 19:05 |
| nareshov | riderrr, it should be pretty-explanative | 19:05 |
| riderrr | ok | 19:05 |
| ompaul | OldPink, so maybe you should (A) report the bugs and (B) back up your home directory and reinstall fiesty and go with next one | 19:05 |
| tecywiz121 | desertc, yep... any ideas? | 19:05 |
| desertc | tecywiz121: Where have you searched for answers for this problem? | 19:05 |
| l0p3z | ok thanks | 19:05 |
| semperfi1uy | ompaul: it says it supports pci devices with atheros chipsets, I am using a linksys wpc54g card | 19:05 |
| nareshov | at least dpkg-reconfigure exim4 was good | 19:05 |
| ceil420 | !wireless | 19:05 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 19:05 |
| huiii | l0p3z: ok, than i would advise u to encode it to divx, thereis a superb option wich makes conversations very beautiful, i'll pass u the command, moment, meanwhile read the man pages, terminal: man mencoder | 19:06 |
| tecywiz121 | desertc, mostly google, but there's not much on them, since they are new, and I did things a bit differently then most ppl | 19:06 |
| OldPink | ompaul: I need gutsy for this project. I've spent a lot of time reporting bugs on other issues, they're all ignored, I refuse to do so now | 19:06 |
| riotkittie | OldPink: chances are, it's not gparted but the partitions on your desktop, at least, are wonky. i had the same issue with Gutsy, whereas gparted had been fine with Dapper and Feisty... yet couldnt install Gutsy to my "Yaaaaaaay Linux" drive. | 19:06 |
| semperfi1uy | ive been reading that documentation for the last 3 days | 19:06 |

| tecywiz121 | kk | 19:06 |
| riderrr | nareshov: should i select the Internet with Smarthost or the Internet Site option? | 19:07 |
| riotkittie | Could not install it to my "boo, windows!" drive, either, til i powered my other hard drive off completely. did not know there was anything wrong with the drive til i tried installing another distro and it was like "hey lady, your partitions are messed up" | 19:07 |
| huiii | l0p3z: where DVD is your file, /path/blabla/whereever/file.ogg and outfile is /path/here/is/good/file.avi | 19:07 |
| kevin | Hello. I was wondering, should Wine be freezing my system? It worked fine in Feisty, but ever since Gutsy, it freezes when I try to open anything. | 19:07 |
| semperfi1uy | is madwifi something to replace ndisrapper or just include it to gain WPA | 19:07 |
| desertc | kevin: Ask in #winehq | 19:07 |
| kevin | desertc: Alright, thank you. | 19:08 |
| riotkittie | semperfi1uy: madwifi is an alternative to madwifi... the linux drivers for atheros based cards | 19:08 |
| OldPink | riotkittie: Problems both before and after editing partion table in Feisty. Problems even just clicking "Format" tick box at installation. Sure it's not partition table | 19:08 |
| nareshov | How is your mailsetup like? | 19:08 |
| nareshov | is your computer capable of sending mails directly to the internet? | 19:09 |
| semperfi1uy | riotkittie: ok thankyou, so it wouldn't work for me even though somebody suggested it | 19:09 |
| nareshov | without having to use an external SMTP server? | 19:09 |
| bulmer2 | semperfi1uy WPA is a feature, either supported by the driver or not | 19:09 |
| riderrr | nareshov: it was before i switched to ubuntu | 19:09 |
| riotkittie | semperfi1uy: the first part of my sentence made no sense whatsoever :P sorry about that. but i guess you get what i meant. are you using ndiswrapper now? | 19:09 |

| nareshov | riderrr, you need to find out | 19:10 |
| nareshov | ask your internet provider | 19:10 |
| riderrr | oh well in that case i know that my ISP will let me | 19:11 |
| riderrr | because i had my PHP set up to use my ISPs smtp address | 19:11 |
| joshu | Quick question, a good, light mediaplayer written in GTK? | 19:11 |
| riderrr | before switching to LInux | 19:11 |

| nareshov | and get that SMTP address | 19:12 |
| riderrr | ok | 19:12 |

| riotkittie | semperfi1uy: if you know that the driver you're using with ndiswrapper does support wpa/wpa2 look into wpasupplicant. | 19:13 |
| riderrr | ok...do i need to install some other package in order to use a smart host? | 19:13 |
| semperfi1uy | riotkittie: yes i am and it works for an unencrypted network but I am trying to add either WPA or WPA2 | 19:13 |
| huiii | joshu: what is the problem? | 19:13 |
| joshu | nareshov: music (: | 19:13 |
| nareshov | riderrr, just follow the questions for now in that terminal | 19:13 |
| riotkittie | bullgard4: there should be an option at the bottom of the screen that says 'create' or 'new' ... use your arrow keys to get there, and select. | 19:13 |
| semperfi1uy | riotkittie: i am using the driver that was on the windows cd for the card. its a linksys wpc54g | 19:13 |

| joshu | nareshov: preferably | 19:14 |
| joshu | nareshov: /me googles | 19:14 |

| nareshov | or mpd+gmpc if you like | 19:14 |
| nareshov | hehe | 19:14 |
| huiii | joshu: try realplayer or banshee, | 19:14 |

| Nehal | i just upgraded to 7.10, now when i try to open restricted package manager, i get the message: "You need to install the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-386 for this program to work." even though synaptic package manager shows it's already installed. what should i do? | 19:14 |

| nareshov | desertc, nvidia card? | 19:15 |
| joshu | huiii: banshee :D thanx | 19:15 |

| riotkittie | bullgard4: did you run it as sudo ? or as a normal user? | 19:15 |
| nareshov | desertc, intel here - low end | 19:15 |
| huiii | joshu: for the small things realplayer is good because it never pops up twice, once is there it stays one player, when clicking tnrough collection, for big things banshee is very nice since last release AND THAN THER IS SONGBIRD | 19:16 |

| sirdork | Help I can't get my External USB HDD to mount with rear write permissions | 19:28 |
| ctothej | AquaFox: we won't make it permanent at first, so at boot up, when grub comes up, arrow down and press the 'e' key while the first line is highlighted to edit the boot command line entry, then another screen will come up and the press 'e' again on the first line, then at the end of that line add ' noapic nolapic' . Then press enter and then press 'b' to boot the computer | 19:28 |

| ubotu | sirdork: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 19:30 |

| ubotu | n0000b: 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). | 19:30 |

| ikonia | bruenig: I think we may disagree on that a little, however I do undertand what your saying | 20:08 |
| bruenig | ikonia, ultimately linux is flexible can be done on anything. But most implementations of desktop linux emphasize up to date software (ubuntu as the exception) and so a faster connection is preferred. | 20:08 |

| Pelo | Maximus, which hdd is windows on ? | 20:11 |
| ompaul | ArthurArchnix, so file a bug on launchpad or mail canonical or something ;-) | 20:12 |

| ompaul | hussam, so go to that url and get the minimal install or else take a desktop option from www.ubuntu.com | 20:14 |
| hussam | I dont noe how to use the text based intaller | 20:14 |
| bruenig | Bonkers-, in /var somewhere you can find that | 20:14 |
| Pelo | Maximus, ok , I think I have the general idea now, you're gonna need the supergrub cd to make sure that the phase one is on the correct hdd and that it point to phase2 ( menu.lst) on the correct partiton, check the last link on the msg taht ubotu will give you , toward the bottom of the page is a link for the cd's iso , just burn and bood from it, several menues will help you fix the problem | 20:14 |

| === brydude is now known as bryan_w | ||
| ikonia | hussam: guide you through what ? | 20:15 |

| ompaul | hussam, you can go to www.ubuntu.com and click on download and work from there tell us when you have it downloaded | 20:15 |
| Pelo | hussam, just bite the bullet and dl the cd , be patient and you'll get there in the end | 20:16 |
| hussam | i meant the text based installer if someone could please tell me how to do that | 20:16 |

| ctothej | AquaFox: should be syslog | 20:39 |
| jimcooncat | Cybodog: drbd would work but is overkill for a single box | 20:39 |
| nareshov | oklo, what does `uname -m` say? | 20:39 |
| albech | anyone else experience vertical scrolling in firefox causing gnome to freeze? | 20:39 |

| nareshov | !jre | 20:40 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jre - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:40 |
| jimcooncat | Cybodog: maybe you could use some kind of mirroring filesystem instead | 20:40 |
| oklo | hmm | 20:40 |
| Pici | !jre is <alias> java | 20:40 |
| krzysiek | ? | 20:40 |
| ubotu | I'll remember that, Pici | 20:40 |
| AquaFox | I don't see the problem ctothej :( | 20:40 |
| Cybodog | jimcooncat, yes, plan on using mdadm for a mirror but HOW do you set that up in ubuntu during an install? | 20:41 |
| nareshov | oklo, doesn't firefox offer you to install something when you visit a java'ed site? | 20:41 |
| oklo | yeah | 20:41 |
| Cybodog | I also can not see how to use LVM during an install | 20:41 |
| nareshov | didn't that work? | 20:41 |
| neopsyche | Hi people.. ok.. so i put my hd into new machine.. previous machine was different.. so now its having problems saying Xorg cannot start?? how can i detect the new onboard graphics to work with X ? | 20:41 |
| oklo | but pressing the install button says doen't work | 20:41 |
| ctothej | AquaFox: do a grep on all the files in there for bluetooth | 20:41 |
| AquaFox | I see bluetooth man. | 20:41 |
| AquaFox | It's just no errors. | 20:41 |
| neopsyche | im using bitchx now. | 20:41 |
| nareshov | oklo, try sudo apt-get install sun-javaX-plugin | 20:41 |
| oklo | it says i need "Java Runtime Environment" and when i press install, it says "No plugins were installed" | 20:41 |
| nouri_ | install scanner hp 2400 | 20:41 |
| nareshov | where X = 5 or 6 | 20:41 |
| neopsyche | Any ideas? | 20:41 |
| ctothej | AquaFox: "cat * | grep bluetooth" | 20:42 |
| oklo | is the X as is? | 20:42 |
| jimcooncat | Cybodog: it's in the partitioner to choose LVM | 20:42 |
| oklo | or should that be a number or smth | 20:42 |
| sspectrum | Hello | 20:42 |
| bruenig | ctothej, grep bluetooth * | 20:42 |

| AquaFox | ctothej, it says /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf failed | 20:42 |
| neopsyche | what do i select from the list of drivers if i have an intel onboard chip? | 20:42 |
| nareshov | neopsyche, dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 20:42 |
| Cybodog | jimcooncat, I will have to look again. | 20:42 |
| sspectrum | does anyone knows how to change language on fluxbuntu | 20:43 |
| sspectrum | ??? | 20:43 |
| ctothej | bruenig: ahh nice, thanks | 20:43 |

| wib | hi, is there a quick way to set up a guest account that is allowed to play music and browse the internet but nothing else? no email, no im, no file browsing? | 20:43 |
| ctothej | AquaFox: hmm lets look that line up in the forums and on google | 20:43 |
| neopsyche | wib: the only way i know of would be with a java interface. | 20:43 |
| nareshov | wib, try the sabayon package and see if it can help | 20:44 |
| wib | neopsyche: that sounds kind of awkward | 20:44 |
| neopsyche | wib: just letting you know the only thing i know about that.. they use that for internet kiosks.. I dont really know much else about it at all .perhaps try google. | 20:44 |
| nareshov | that = sabayon? | 20:45 |
| neopsyche | nareshov: what does the extra command do? | 20:45 |
| nareshov | neopsyche, sets priority to high | 20:45 |
| trollboy | I got a weird issue, if I adjust the volume by clicking on the speaker in the upper right hand corner it works... but if I hit volume +/- on my keyboard shortcuts, I see the lil visual show the volume go up and down, but no affect on the actual volume | 20:45 |
| wib | neopsyche, nareshov: ill check saboyan | 20:45 |
| trollboy | does the kb shortcut see something else instead of the real volume? | 20:45 |
| bodinux | I do have a problem on gusty with mt (magnetic tape) that I didn't have on feisty : setblk is not a valid argument, it was before... Any idea ? | 20:46 |

| Scunizi | tannji: look for the "#" symbol | 21:02 |
| neopsyche | thanks silenus.. that the command to detect hardware changes? | 21:02 |
| Scunizi | tannji: but ubuntu doesn't have root really.. you use "sudo" before each root command. | 21:03 |
| tannji | Scunizi: OK, and it it doesnt, how to I force it to root? | 21:03 |
| tannji | hmm | 21:03 |
| Scunizi | !root | tannji | 21:03 |
| ubotu | tannji: 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 | 21:04 |

| MartinW | I messed up the contents of my /etc/firehol/firehol.conf file. Now I can't connect to the internet. (The usb modem is on the computer I am now using and is shared over LAN) How do I restore the file to its original state? | 21:08 |
| theron_ | nope it says my driver isnt supported if I use a utility | 21:08 |
| Silenus | hm | 21:08 |
| theron_ | and if i manually do it my res goes to crap | 21:08 |
| theron_ | then when I try to fix it, my xorg gets hosed and I have to reinstall | 21:09 |
| FireAllianceNX | How do I check what FS I formated one of my HDD as? | 21:09 |

| cvd | hey, i Have the Java 6 JDK, but when i want to download the nebeans 5.5 it also want to download all the java 5, can i still use the netbeans 5.5 with jdk 6? | 21:09 |
| MartinW | I think EVERY howto in the forums should tell you to make a backup of the files. I learned this the had way just now. | 21:09 |
| kittyprincess | ok, well can any one point me to a good forum for running ubuntu on mac?? | 21:09 |
| kittyprincess | or even installing more particularly | 21:10 |
| kittyprincess | i can not find adequate information regarding booting from cd | 21:10 |
| MartinW | Let me rephrase. I can connect on the main windows computer on which the modem is but not on the other Ubuntu computer on the LAN. | 21:10 |
| poeloq | kittyprincess: http://bin-false.org/?p=17 | 21:11 |
| kittyprincess | thank you | 21:11 |
| poeloq | kittyprincess: try that one and follow the links | 21:11 |

| ffighter | hello | 21:15 |
| === mozart is now known as joepi | ||
| === joepi is now known as joepie | ||
| ffighter | folks I'm trying to set up a link under /usr/local/bin for an app. Its files are located under /usr/local/share/lib/app.jar. The launcher is at /usr/local/share/bin/app.sh... | 21:16 |
| kittyprincess | so smug about that???, i too searched for this and detailed the way i tried to boot the cd still does not answer the question | 21:16 |
| whatley | hi, i just reconfigured my xorg because my laptop wouldnt allow me to go to 1200x800, and now whenever i try and run UT2k4, it shows the load screen, and then nothing happens. ideas? | 21:16 |
| ompaul | _4a42_, what was bugging me was I had set it up at work but it did not seem to be working - restarting the sshd might have been useful :) | 21:16 |
| ffighter | the app.sh code is the following: java -Dapps.config="~/.app.config" -jar ../lib/app.jar & | 21:16 |
| ffighter | however, I can'tr leave the relative path (../lib/app.jar) | 21:17 |
| jrib | ffighter: try to keep it on one line (use pastebin if you need to) or it becomes hard to follow what you are doing | 21:17 |
| === zanimimotus is now known as animimotus | ||
| === atlef_ is now known as atlef | ||
| ffighter | so I've put the absolute: /usr/local/share/lib/app.jar - however, for some reason java complains that it has no rights to exec the file (being the path the only difference) | 21:17 |
| ffighter | jrib, ok, I'll keep this in mind | 21:17 |
| EminX | Pleas help, I can't find a dictionary for my language : Albanian - English, I tried that Dictionary 2.20.0.1, from Emmanuele Bassi, but there is no dict for Albanian language, I also tried that from Lingvosoft: OpenDict 0.6.2 I could select Albanian - English f.ex. but it doesn't respond me any answer, it doesn't work also in other languages, :( :( | 21:18 |

| mozart | good to be back here | 21:18 |

| garyrobbo | ubuntu confuses me :-$ | 21:19 |
| brobostigon | why? | 21:20 |
| garyrobbo | I have no idea what im doing | 21:20 |
| garyrobbo | haha | 21:20 |
| kazol3 | I have a problem with the screen resolution at boot being too low. | 21:20 |
| whatley | garyrobbo, can you be more specific? ubuntu is pretty intuitive | 21:20 |
| Dr_willis | This is when the starter guides come in handy. :) | 21:20 |
| garyrobbo | starter guide, hmmm (point me in the right direction), it's taken me 30 mins to work out how to use IRC and I still have no idea how this works!!! | 21:21 |
| jrib | garyrobbo: help.ubuntu.com | 21:21 |
| garyrobbo | cheers | 21:21 |
| ffighter | is there any tool to convert png/jpg/bmp into svg so I can use the image as an icon on the gnome's panel | 21:21 |
| ffighter | ? | 21:21 |
| Dr_willis | I though the browser had bookmarks/default page for it also. :) | 21:21 |
| whatley | garyrobbo: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy | 21:21 |
| ArthurArchnix | ffighter: Why not open it in Gimp and then save it as an svg | 21:22 |
| Dr_willis | gnomes panel uses svg's ? never noticed that. | 21:22 |
| ffighter | ArthurArchnix, Didn't know gimp could do it, besides, I don't have gimp installed | 21:22 |
| hiffy | Whats a reliable way to find out what version of ubuntu I'm running, from the shell? | 21:22 |
| ffighter | ArthurArchnix, but I will try it, thanls | 21:22 |
| ffighter | thanks | 21:22 |
| root_ | Hi I am in desperate need of help.. i need to reconfigure graphics card to work with new pc as I have email / server / programs all on existing drive.. how can i reconfigure xorg.. | 21:22 |
| jrib | !version | hiffy | 21:22 |
| ubotu | hiffy: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 21:22 |
| jrib | !xconfig > root_ (read the private message from ubotu) | 21:23 |
| jrib | root_: you should not irc as root... | 21:23 |
| hiffy | jrib, would I be correct in assuming lsb is for linux standard base and that it should be available on most distros? | 21:23 |
| Dr_willis | !fixres | 21:23 |
| ubotu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 21:23 |
| ArthurArchnix | ffighter: I'm mistaken. I don't think Gimp can. | 21:23 |
| root_ | But .. what do i use to detect the new hardware.. because it says it is not found??? | 21:23 |
| jrib | hiffy: no idea if "most" is accurate, but many, sure | 21:23 |
| root_ | Does ubuntu support the Intel onboard graphics chips? | 21:23 |
| hiffy | hmmm | 21:23 |
| hiffy | thanks jrib. | 21:23 |

| whatley | hi, i just reconfigured my xorg because my laptop wouldnt allow me to go to 1200x800, and now whenever i try and run UT2k4, it shows the load screen, and then nothing happens. ideas? | 21:24 |
| root_ | Is there a way that I can copy my entire drive onto a new machine? | 21:24 |
| root_ | er? | 21:24 |
| root_ | This sucks. | 21:24 |
| Pici | !rootirc | root_ | 21:25 |
| ubotu | root_: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 21:25 |
| Frajda | root: yes, with dd | 21:26 |
| MartinW | I messed up my /etc/firehol/firehol.conf file. On my ubuntu pc. But now I can't use a shared (LAN) usb modem on a windows pc. | 21:26 |

| TheBush | Guys - I need some serious help. I can't figure out why my new install of Gutsy isn't working properly with the internet. I can ping just fine...I can log onto AIM, and chat just fine. But when trying to browse a website, it just keeps trying to connect and then fails. Ive tried two browsers, and its not working. Help Please? | 21:30 |
| UbuntuDesperateU | I tried the gspca drivers, but I have to switch it on with a quick start, and it s not available | 21:30 |
| poeloq | usrl: so apart from Firefox no Japanese characters are displayed at all? | 21:31 |
| usrl | ffighter: you have to select the directory they are in, click ok, and then select the item in the original window. it's messed up, I know | 21:31 |
| oklo | nareshov: i dl'd sun-java6-plugin, now it works partly :P | 21:31 |

| hunkyspunky | hi guys | 21:34 |
| rinaldi_ | per-kristian: well i used add-remove programs | 21:34 |
| PirateHead | TheBush: can you try using a packet sniffer to see whether you're getting a response? | 21:34 |
| Frajda | TheBush: Any firewall blocking port 80? | 21:34 |
| EminX | larson9999: amsn is the worst software in ubuntu | 21:34 |
| DrHalan_ | hey peeps | 21:35 |
| TheBush | Well, I have the ethernet going to my Linksys router. But I also tried plugging in directly to my modem. Same outcome... | 21:35 |
| hunkyspunky | <hunkyspunky> i just rienstalled ubuntu 7.10...on my laptop....got wifi partially going with proertary drivers....i see my itnernet on wifi is trmeiosly slow (takes mintues to load sites)....any ideas? | 21:35 |
| saman | quit | 21:35 |
| DrHalan_ | ive a problem :S i use compiz but i dont find any nice fitting skin for gnome-panel | 21:35 |
| hunkyspunky | its dell 1390 wifi card in as insiorn 6400 | 21:35 |
| larson9999 | EminX, perhaps but if you wanna chat with granny who only has msn and can't seem to figure out how to set up a sip account or use skype, it gets the job done. but it's a lot nicer than the last time i tried it | 21:36 |
| Frajda | TheBush: ok, does your ISP have a proxy for port 80 that has to be used? | 21:36 |
| PirateHead | Stop beating around, TheBush. Figure out whether it's a problem with services on port 80, figure out whether you're getting a response. That ought to help diagnose the problem. | 21:36 |
| TheBush | No. That would be ridiculous. I'm on my Windows machine right now.....no problems. LOL PirateHead!!! haha. Okay, how can I check and see if there is a problem with port 80? | 21:36 |
| poeloq | usrl: i think there is possibly no way of actually doing this, because it isn't that the windows encoding isn't supported yet, it is actually that windows messes the encoding up if you save on fat32 or defrag on a non-japanese windows | 21:37 |
| PirateHead | TheBush: you could try setting up a proxy on another port and connecting through that proxy. | 21:37 |
| larson9999 | i bought my 6 year old a ps2 so he could play king of fighters 2006. am i going straight to hell? | 21:37 |
| poeloq | . | 21:38 |
| Cpudan80 | TheBush: Does your net work in windows? | 21:38 |
| TheBush | Yes. | 21:38 |
| Cpudan80 | Are you trying to do a static IP in linux? | 21:38 |
| usrl | poeloq: bleh. There has to be some tool to fix it anyway >< The encoding is messed up, but it still obviously means something, things with similar names have similarly messed up text | 21:38 |
| TheBush | I didn't do anything. Just installed Gutsy, and this problem existed. | 21:38 |
| Cpudan80 | hrm... | 21:38 |
| Cpudan80 | weird | 21:38 |
| hazure | quick question...by boot screen just shows a progress bar, how can I have it show the steps it's taking? | 21:38 |
| FireAllianceNX | How do I edit an item in the menu to run with sudo? | 21:38 |
| Cpudan80 | hazure: esc | 21:38 |
| TheBush | I mean, I'm downloading updates right now on it. 162 kb/s. Which is normal, good speed for me. | 21:38 |
| Cpudan80 | TheBush: What does ifconfig say? | 21:39 |
| TheBush | But it doesn't want to visit websites. | 21:39 |
| hazure | Cpudan80: any option I can set to make it show by default? | 21:39 |
| poeloq | usrl: if the encoding was still okay, it would display. If I receive files from non-Chinese/Japanese Windows, they are messed up. However, if I get them from a Chinese/Japanese Windows, they are okay | 21:39 |
| PirateHead | TheBush: It would be very strange for something in Gutsy to be causing the problems, then... | 21:39 |
| Cpudan80 | hazure: no idea | 21:39 |
| poeloq | so u would actually have to fix the files somehow | 21:39 |
| TheBush | What info do you want from ifconfig | 21:39 |
| Cpudan80 | hazure: not ever sure if that esc thing works.... | 21:39 |
| VJain89 | I have a question which I can't seem to find the answer to... I have WIndows Vista installed atm and I want to install Ubuntu as well. Can I have a dual-boot going with this? | 21:39 |

| VJain89 | how would I go about doing so? | 21:40 |

| Cpudan80 | VJain89: just like XP | 21:40 |
| PirateHead | okay | 21:40 |
| PirateHead | and it renders okay in Firefox? | 21:40 |
| VJain89 | k, so I just install it and it works? | 21:40 |
| TheBush | No. | 21:40 |
| VJain89 | and when the comp is booting up, I choose Vista or Ubuntu? | 21:41 |

| VJain89 | This is going to be my first time using Linux of any kind, any suggestions/tips/things I should know? | 21:42 |

| TheBush | PirateHead: Just FireFox and Opera. | 21:42 |
| VJain89 | ya, I know that :D. Thx for reminding me | 21:42 |
| PirateHead | TheBush: try lynx, just for shits and giggles. | 21:43 |

| PirateHead | TheBush: sudo apt-get install lynx | 21:43 |
| eltux | I'm trying to install Avant-Window-Navigator and I am stuck on compiling the package, help please! :D | 21:43 |

| scguy318 | ebirtaid: not really | 21:48 |
| mozart | Question to the channel. Did loads of work on kernel netfilter and iptables userland utils so i'm familiar with the code deep down there. But i'm wondering if there are ubuntu 'GUI'-utils that can handle routing and firewalling (besides firestarter) or if there are projects working on this (which i can join).. can't seem to find much online | 21:48 |
| ebirtaid | gotcha | 21:48 |

| bk | scguy318: network-admin? | 21:50 |
| PirateHead | TheBush: that's good news, at least! | 21:50 |
| shawn_selig29 | i think that fixed it was motion tab | 21:50 |
| scguy318 | KurtKraut: you can sniff via tcpdump | 21:50 |
| shawn_selig29 | thxs | 21:50 |
| EminX | jrib: Yes please can you help me on that | 21:50 |
| PirateHead | TheBush: It loads pages as it should, just sluggishly? | 21:50 |
| poeloq | EminX: sorry, can't help u on that one | 21:50 |
| bk | scguy318: i cant find anything about vpn in there | 21:50 |
| poeloq | EminX: have u searched google/the forums yet? | 21:50 |
| scguy318 | bk: that's the Network Manager applet, for network-admin, I think SYstem -> Admin -> Network | 21:50 |
| jrib | EminX: an english dictionary? | 21:50 |
| TheBush | PirateHead: Yep. It loads them....just like I'm on dialup. lol | 21:50 |
| EminX | jrib: I need English-Albanian language | 21:50 |
| scguy318 | bk: other than that dunno | 21:50 |

| mozart | PirateHead, yes ubuntu specific. Really offtopic but: I'm currently in talks with some investors to open an shop much like the apple stores (offline) but with ubuntu hardware and our own fashion and designs. But i wan't some features both worked on by our own team and known to be supported. One of them is routing between more then two network connections, traffic management and firewalling (we developed anti-virus our selves). Wondering if th | 21:51 |
| mozart | ere is a project alive thinking/working on that. | 21:51 |
| EminX | jrib: any answer | 21:51 |
| bk | ubotu: thanks for the link | 21:51 |
| mozart | Luck to get somebody here that knows about it, but.. i can try :) | 21:51 |

| PirateHead | mozart: Is there a reason you don't like Firestarter? | 21:52 |
| scguy318 | xen_caapn: glxgears isn't a benchmark :) | 21:52 |
| scguy318 | xen_caapn: what sort of trouble | 21:52 |
| EminX | jrib: ok thanks anyway | 21:52 |

| TheBush | PirateHead: Like I just went to amazon.com and.....the images aren't loading. Most of em anyways.. | 21:52 |

| TheBush | PirateHead: How do I load lynx? I installed it, but how do I like run it? | 21:53 |
| jrib | EminX: so no bugs? | 21:53 |
| mozart | PirateHead, to limited support. It's based on firewalling, not traffic control, prioritizing and (advanced) routing. Still a very basic tool.. After some time (and application installs later), to difficult to configure. | 21:53 |
| scguy318 | raux: have you read the AppDb entry on Steam? | 21:53 |
| scguy318 | !appdb | raux | 21:53 |

| TheBush | PirateHead: Well, I guess I can just deal with it being slow....But now can you help me install my webcam on Gutsy? | 21:55 |
| mozart | Other question to the channel then: if there where shops just like to apple store but then for neatly designed (own design, predesigned by local artist, online contests et cetera ) hardware with ubuntu and professional support.. what would your idea of the shop be? | 21:55 |
| PirateHead | mozart: I don't know of a project determined to build a network control app more advanced than Firestarter, but if you're interested, I would suggest that you email the developer mailing list and post on the forum -- if you haven't already,. | 21:55 |
| mozart | What would you like to see.. | 21:55 |
| ffighter | folks, installing phpmyadmin from apt also sets up a local virtual host for it? | 21:56 |
| xen_caapn | scguy318 is there any other troubleshooting i can do? | 21:56 |
| scguy318 | bk: you might have to install some packages | 21:56 |
| mozart | PirateHead: yes i working with the folks from freeswan/openswan / iptables / netfilter for years.. so i'm rounding up my own dev team for it.. but want to make sure i'm not doing double work.. | 21:56 |
| scguy318 | xen_caapn: probably, but I am clueless in that area | 21:56 |
| mozart | thanks though! | 21:56 |
| PirateHead | mozart: I've actually thought about it a lot before! I imagined that there would be lots of electronics stuff, sort of built around a do-it-yourself type theme. | 21:56 |

| PirateHead | mozart: The people should be able to help you build your own box from scratch, install a custom OS on it (offer Windows as an option please!), and so on. | 21:57 |
| EminX | jrib: I find that | 21:57 |
| EminX | Automatic dictionary installation doesn't work because file http://opendict.sf.net/Repository/Data/opendict-add-ons.xml is not reacheable | 21:57 |
| mozart | PirateHead: indeed. I do want to bring it to the masses though. So i imaging a small number of hardware varieties.. but loads of accessoires just like with win32 and apple. Only thing i'm concerned about it crossover-office (win32 office compatibility) and gaming | 21:57 |
| mozart | for the masses that is | 21:57 |
| TheBush | PirateHead: Well, I guess I can just deal with it being slow....But now can you help me install my webcam on Gutsy? | 21:58 |
| mozart | There are already loads of windows and apple shops here.. id will be ubuntu only | 21:58 |
| PirateHead | mozart: You could box and sell Linux games if you wanted, just like Apple stores have little sections of Mac games. | 21:58 |
| mozart | have to have some more shops before that.. or, some more money and connections ;) | 21:58 |
| mozart | loads of positive reactions to the ideas, which makes the people with the actual money happy | 21:58 |
| mozart | as well as me | 21:58 |
| PirateHead | TheBush: webcams are a nightmare. I wouldn't even know where to begin, other than googling the name and model number of your webcam. | 21:58 |
| mozart | loads of confidence, especially in ubuntu and it's community | 21:59 |
| TheBush | bleddd. | 21:59 |
| TheBush | blehhh | 21:59 |
| soundray | !webcam | 21:59 |
| ubotu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 21:59 |
| PirateHead | mozart: Why limit yourself to Ubuntu though? Open source is about consumer choice, and that includes Windows and so on. | 21:59 |
| shawn_selig29 | i just dled amsn.....and when i try to open it it says "Could not open the file /home/shawn/Desktop/amsn…97RC1-1.tcl84.x86.package." | 21:59 |
| cornell | I'm having trouble ejecting an external drive. When I look at File Browser/Computer, I see it in the places list and name list. Trying to eject by name, it says it's writing do it, do not remove it. But when I right-click on it in the places list, mount is the only option offered. Does this mean it's not mounted and I can, in fact, remove it? | 21:59 |
| PirateHead | mozart: If you build the store around do-it-yourself, rather than a particular operating system distribution, I would think you would do better. | 21:59 |
| mozart | PirateHead, i think it's a business reason. Love to do otherwise, but for it to be succesfull i am convinced ubuntu should become a 'fashion'-brand or fashionable brand. Just like apple is. | 22:00 |
| shawn_selig29 | and then it says "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding."..any ideas? | 22:00 |
| mozart | PirateHead, i like that idea.. difficult concept, but like it very very much | 22:00 |
| mozart | going to ponder on that | 22:00 |
| === malice is now known as malice_ | ||
| PirateHead | mozart: Ubuntu is about do it yourself. Low barriers to entry, open source and community, the spirit of contribution from everybody. An Ubuntu store should encourage the same thing, but with hardware and real friendly faces to talk to. | 22:01 |
| Sorcererbob | cornell: get a paperclip and force it open | 22:01 |
| [Neurotic] | hi all, I've been having intermittent network dropouts and system crashes when using my Intel AGN card on Gutsy. I'm wondering, is it worth me upgrading to the source code version of the intel open source driver? or should I revert back to using the ndiswrapper like I did on feisty? | 22:01 |
| Sorcererbob | jam the paperclip in the little hole on the bottom right | 22:02 |
| PirateHead | mozart: If you stake it all on the "hip" factor, then you're competing directly with Apple, and chances are Apple will out-hip you up and down the street with its huge marketing budgets, R&D teams, and so on. | 22:02 |
| mozart | PirateHead, good point. We though of a contributors corner with a bunch of system. Like if you sit down and do translations or ubuntu-related code contributions, you get discounts et cetera. Eventually just having a steady bunch of guys sitting there.. helping out, us, the community, the customers. A big familiarity idea | 22:02 |
| mozart | yes | 22:02 |
| mozart | also good point | 22:02 |
| cornell | Sorcererbob: It's not a cdrom... it's an external harddrive, I just unplug it. But I need to make certain that ubuntu has written what it needs to to it, before I pull it. | 22:03 |
| mozart | you have though of this.. tell me, what else did you think off.. | 22:03 |
| mozart | :) | 22:03 |
| soundray | [Neurotic]: try something easier at first and disable ipv6, if you haven't already done so. | 22:03 |
| Sorcererbob | ah... in that case i have no idea | 22:03 |
| soskel | hi | 22:03 |
| soundray | [Neurotic]: it's a shot in the dark, but I found by chance that it eliminated dropped connections here. | 22:03 |
| PirateHead | mozart: Actual software support for Ubuntu would be huge. A place where people can do when stuff stops working, or where they can take their computer to get Ubuntu installed on it by a friendly computer pro. | 22:03 |
| cornell | If the only option in the context menu is mount, doesn't that imply that the device isn't mounted, and hence can be pulled? | 22:03 |
| soundray | !ipv6 | [Neurotic] | 22:04 |
| ubotu | [Neurotic]: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 22:04 |
| shawn_selig29 | anybdy have any ideas with the erro i'm getitng for trying to instal amsn? | 22:04 |
| PirateHead | mozart: I think a lot more people would be open to switching away from Windows if they had a place they could go for tech support and professional assistance. | 22:04 |
| mozart | exactly | 22:04 |
| mozart | (toilet break, brb) | 22:04 |
| shawn_selig29 | i just siwthced away from windows knowing noting bot ubunut..lol.. | 22:04 |
| PirateHead | mozart: And it ties directly into your hardware sales, because then when they want a new computer they'll know about you and already be familiar with your store. | 22:04 |

| cinch | Hi all - Can someone help me figure out why my BCM4306 wifi NIC won't display available wireless networks in nm-applet? | 22:12 |
| Hanif07 | I need help with this question please. Is it likely that the BIOS for a computer running MS-Windows would be different from that used by a computer running Linux? | 22:12 |
| soskel | no | 22:13 |
| scguy318 | Hanif07: no | 22:13 |
| soundray | stevr1it: ubuntu does not come with drivers for your printer. | 22:13 |
| helfrez | soskel, yas? | 22:13 |
| soskel | Migration Assistant: | 22:13 |
| Hanif07 | Explain please, soskel or scguy318 | 22:13 |
| soskel | Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader) (/dev/sda1): | 22:13 |
| CruX | how can i list removed packages which are not purged ? | 22:13 |
| stevr1it | and? | 22:13 |
| soskel | what does that mean | 22:13 |
| mindstorms | Hanif0 : no | 22:13 |
| stevr1it | i have found the drivers | 22:13 |
| Hanif07 | mindstorms: please explain | 22:13 |
| stevr1it | but the usb does not sees the printer | 22:13 |
| scguy318 | Hanif07: BIOS is the nice boot-up ROM you get when you press the power button, don't see why you or anyone would be changing it for different OSes | 22:13 |
| helfrez | soskel, in what context..looks liek a line out of a bootloader | 22:13 |
| shawn_selig29 | so what do i type in temrinal to install amsn? | 22:13 |
| scguy318 | shawn_selig29: sudo apt-get install amsn | 22:14 |
| helfrez | shawn_selig29, sudo apt-get install amsn | 22:14 |
| mzinz | I plan on running a fileserver/ftpserver in Ubuntu. What is the best FTP server app? What's the best way to successfully run a file server? | 22:14 |
| soundray | soskel: migration assistant imports personal settings you have made in Windows. You can ignore it without a risk. | 22:14 |
| scguy318 | Hanif07: reflashing a newer BIOS is most definitely not a good idea unless you're willing to risk bricking the mobo | 22:14 |
| Hanif07 | any ther explanations why | 22:14 |
| soskel | helfrez: no, it's in the before-installation of ubuntu | 22:14 |
| shawn_selig29 | is that all i do? | 22:14 |
| Hanif07 | so the bios is the same | 22:14 |
| totherdave | hi all | 22:14 |
| scguy318 | Hanif07: yeah why would you think they would change the BIOS ROM? | 22:14 |
| Hanif07 | no OS alters the bios? | 22:14 |
| scguy318 | Hanif07: no | 22:14 |
| scguy318 | Hanif07: that would be very dangerous | 22:15 |
| mzinz | BIOS are mobo specific | 22:15 |
| soundray | Hanif07: the BIOS is independent from the OS | 22:15 |
| FireAllianceNX | I lied, I didn't give up on WoW and it works now | 22:15 |
| stevr1it | soundray thre are the drivers for almost al the linux distribution but not for debian and ubuntu, even if i have foudbn this http://foo2qpdl.rkkda.com/INSTALL | 22:15 |
| mindstorms | Hanif0 : u do not have to get a different Bios ; Bios depend on the mobo and nt OS | 22:15 |
| helfrez | soskel, i guess my question is where are you seeing it and whats you're specific question...depending on what you are looking at, its propaply just saying vista or longhorn appear to be installed on that partition | 22:15 |
| dredhammer | hello i recently tried a custom compiled version of mplayer and removed it and used the ones from the repos now to launch mplayer i have to type /usr/bin/mplayer since ubuntu keeps looking for the version that was installed in /usr/local/bin how do i fix this? | 22:16 |
| soundray | stevr1it: you can try to install the foo2qpdl driver, but it's difficult when you don't have a package that's specific for ubuntu. Look into alien: | 22:16 |
| shawn_selig29 | i got amsn installed thxs guys | 22:16 |
| shawn_selig29 | :) | 22:16 |
| soundray | !alien | stevr1it | 22:16 |
| ubotu | stevr1it: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 22:16 |
| stevr1it | gosh | 22:16 |
| mzinz | I plan on running a fileserver/ftpserver in Ubuntu. What is the best FTP server app? What's the best way to successfully run a file server? | 22:16 |

| kane77 | scguy318, great.. now only how to connect to informix database :) | 22:26 |
| Dr_willis | Jtal604622, watch the cpu gague. see how loaded it is. i guess. | 22:26 |

| tebo | soundray, ok thanks | 22:36 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: samba and active directory have some pretty strict rules, have you looked int what samba is capable of in an active directory environement | 22:36 |

| WGGMk | ikonia: so does Samba and Kerberos have the ability to do that, or should i be seeking another set of applications? | 22:45 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: may I suggest you join #samba and start a discussion on this topic (I'll join too) as the authentication will all be done against ldap as you said, and samba will share, but intergrating the too is not a little more complex then the old NT4 style domains | 22:45 |

| mastericky | hi | 22:52 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: sorry for my lack of experience. could you elaborate on what you mean by sync.. do you mean user > active directory? | 22:52 |
| ArthurArchnix | Lapinux: It's a little out of date, but might help get you started. | 22:52 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: user to active directory rather? | 22:52 |
| executionist | separate partition :/ ok thanks guys | 22:52 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: AD -> Linux Ldap | 22:52 |
| soundray | l3dx: the installer can shrink your Windows partition for you to make space for ubuntu. | 22:53 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: Ldap and AD have to be in sync | 22:53 |

| WGGMk | ikonia: shouldnt they all be the same? | 22:57 |
| mastericky | well, i wrote sudo apt-get install amsn | 22:57 |
| l3dx | soundray: I really didn't know :) | 22:57 |
| soundray | executionist: it's a good idea to backup your data though. Filesystems are vulnerable during shrink operations, for example when there is a power failure. | 22:57 |

| pipelinexpc | lemme google that | 23:01 |
| sethk | Cpudan80, different distros do that differently. I didn't think ubuntu did that, actually | 23:01 |

| mcgill | anyone know how to change the time out value for a ip renew via dhcp? | 23:04 |
| sethk | xdcdx, the device pseudo-files don't care about partition deletion or creation | 23:04 |

| soundray | xeus: brb | 23:07 |
| Pelo | digilink, hd0 is the boot drive, generaly identified as sda gparted | 23:07 |
| sethk | xdcdx, (1) you need to use sudo with mount (in case you tried without sudo), and, (2) either you enter all the parameters correctly on the mount command line, or the correct parameters must be in /etc/fstab | 23:07 |

| mastericky | is a great job to me | 23:08 |

| ubunt-probl | yes i click on the button to quit nothing happens | 23:09 |
| Pelo | digilink, sdc would be hd2 yes, idealy you want both phase 1 and phase2 of grub on the same hdd, ie the hdd with ubuntu on it , so install it to that hdd, the easiest way is to set the ubuntu hdd as boot hdd in the bios before installing ubuntu and just let the grub install itself | 23:09 |

| ubunt-probl | the terminal does not start | 23:11 |
| xdcdx | sethk: fdisk -l /dev/sda shows '... /dev/sda8 2435 2435 8001 83 Linux'. But neither mkfs.ext3 nor mount can access /dev/sda8. mke2fs says: 'Could not stat /dev/sda8 -- No such file or directory'. I am running everything as root, and I can mount and umount other partitions. | 23:11 |

| * Pelo gets a sudden urge to burn ganjistus at the stake | 23:14 | |
| ubunt-probl | well i re-installed ubuntu several times with formatin my pc 2-3 times the options quit does still not work | 23:14 |
| LiMaO | aladinsane: sudo find /home -name "*bowie*" | 23:15 |
| mastericky | that command is for install it? | 23:15 |
| sethk | xdcdx, I'm groping here, but you might try deleting it and recreating it with fdisk instead of cfdisk. That's not particularly logical but I've seen it work a few times. | 23:15 |
| LiMaO | aladinsane: using / searches the entire disk, also extra partitions if they are mounted in any / directory | 23:15 |
| ubunt-probl | i think the prograamin stuff in ubuntu is corrupted | 23:15 |
| soundray | mastericky: yes. | 23:15 |
| mastericky | but the thing is that i have to download the source code | 23:15 |
| Pelo | c0Ld, you probably have several login screen to chose from , some withought the usernames , ask in #kde or in #kubuntu , they can direct you to the proper location | 23:15 |
| soundray | mastericky: why? | 23:15 |
| mastericky | to compile it | 23:15 |
| sethk | c0Ld, why not just use gdm to start kde instead of kdm? | 23:15 |
| Pelo | mastericky, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ | 23:15 |
| mastericky | and explain what does it make all lines | 23:16 |
| soundray | mastericky: why compile when you can install a tailored package for ubuntu? | 23:16 |
| c0Ld | sethk: mainly because I don't know how :( | 23:16 |
| mastericky | i already have it | 23:16 |
| mastericky | but i can install it | 23:16 |
| mastericky | when i write make | 23:16 |
| sethk | c0Ld, do an install (or reinstall) of gdm. | 23:16 |
| xdcdx | sethk, I found the problem: Re-reading the partition table by the kernel fails, it is instructing me to reboot | 23:16 |
| c0Ld | sethk: it's already installed, do i HAVE to reinstall it? | 23:16 |
| riccardo | someone has an 1tek laser mouse workin on ubuntu 7.10? | 23:16 |
| Pelo | mastericky, when compiline from source, ./configure checks to make sure you have all the dependencies, make creates a personnalised installer file, make install performs the actual installation | 23:17 |
| ubunt-probl | do you have any other options pelo | 23:17 |
| aladinsane | LiMaO: when doing xxx@xubuntunew:~$ sudo find /home -name "*bowie*" i get this, not the mp3 files. /home/xxx/.Trash/xxx@gmail.com@pop.gmail.com /home/xxx/.opera/bt_metadata/david bowie.dat /home/xxx/.local/share/Trash/info/david bowie.trashinfo /home/xxx/.local/share/Trash/files/david bowie | 23:17 |
| sethk | c0Ld, no. You can try to do dpkg-reconfigure on it | 23:17 |
| Pici | c0Ld: `sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm` will prompt you to change it | 23:17 |
| mastericky | it says : make: *** [sysdeputil.o] Error 1 | 23:17 |
| sethk | xdcdx, rebooting won't fix it | 23:17 |
| Pelo | ubunt-probl, no i don'T looks to me like you screwed your system up quite nicely, you won'T have a choice but to reinstall ubuntu | 23:17 |
| mastericky | so?? | 23:17 |
| Pelo | ubunt-probl, or anyother os of your choice | 23:17 |
| Pici | aladinsane: use -iname, not -name. iname is case insenitive. | 23:17 |
| sethk | xdcdx, try fdisk or sfdisk | 23:17 |
| pipelinexpc | is ubuntu studio different than ubuntu? | 23:18 |
| LiMaO | aladinsane: *bowie* means ANY file with bowie in its name. remember that linux is case sensitive. also, if you want to look for an mp3 file, why not try "*owie*mp3*" ?? | 23:18 |
| Pelo | mastericky, did you run ./configure first ? | 23:18 |

| pipelinexpc | cool thanks | 23:18 |
| mastericky | i try it, but says: bash: ./configure: No existe el fichero ó directorio | 23:19 |
| xdcdx | sethk: I found the solution, running 'partprobe' after cfdisk did the trick | 23:19 |
| ubunt-probl | me screwed up ubuntu then whatt the fu* distro is this its suppose to be for normal people and i can not just get help to shutdown my pc and now i need to re-install dude this seems to be worse os then windows 95 | 23:19 |
| sethk | xdcdx, ok, weird though. :) | 23:19 |
| Pelo | mastericky, first you need to install the compiling stuff, in the terminal type sudo apt-get install build-essential | 23:19 |
| ubunt-probl | what kind of silly support does ubuntu developers do RE-INSTALL ubuntu man this sucks | 23:20 |
| soskel | hi | 23:20 |
| Pelo | ubunt-probl, you can't shutdown, you can'T access the therminal, and you keep using the on/off switch to turn your computer off instead of shutting down the os, what do you expect exactly ? | 23:20 |
| xdcdx | sethk, the kernel couldn't reload the partition table it said 'resource busy'. I found this error message using fdisk, rather than cfdisk. partprobe (from the 'parted' package) allowed the reread | 23:20 |
| soskel | are there any desktop email notification software | 23:20 |
| Pelo | ubunt-probl, I am not a developper, this is the user-support channel as in support from other users | 23:20 |
| soundray | ubunt-probl: you should either bring some patience and accept the help you receive here, or go back to Windows 95 if you want. Either way, don't let your frustration spoil your good manners. | 23:21 |

| helfrez | soskel, main-notification | 23:22 |

| jebblue | ubunt-probl what is not working for you I'm not following | 23:24 |
| mastericky | chilean | 23:24 |
| ikonia | WGGMk the server that is acting as the domain master - as I recall there is a limation that Ldap can't act as the Domain master, only a domain member | 23:24 |
| ubunt-probl | so what now i need to buy a new pc to get ubuntu running lol this is insane | 23:24 |
| Ely | guys I need to modify the xorg.conf so I can change my display settings but it wont let me change it, it says I dont have permission for it, how can I get access to modify the file? | 23:24 |
| Pelo | ubunt-probl, is it possible that your hdd is at the end of it's life, cause I suspect that some stuff can'T be properly accessed | 23:24 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: eep, so then how can it still serve authentication? | 23:24 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: members can authenticate, just not host the domain | 23:25 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: hmm im confused | 23:25 |
| dmi3on | i download theme and install it but i can turn it on | 23:25 |
| Pelo | Ely, open with sudo , sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:25 |
| dmi3on | how do i do it ? | 23:25 |
| shawn_selig29 | i cant find hippo application | 23:25 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: so you have domain master and domain slaves (slaves are now called members) | 23:25 |
| Ely | pelo thanks! | 23:25 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: which would mean you need a DNS to host right? or need a seperate comp to host the domain? | 23:25 |
| soundray | ubunt-probl: does your PC shutdown when you run 'sudo shutdown -h now' in a terminal? | 23:25 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: it can be a slave - not a master I think is the limitation | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I deleted a file and it is still tying up 4 gigs of space. I checked root trash and user trash.. how do I search for all large files | 23:25 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: ohhhh alright... | 23:25 |
| Pelo | dmi3on, is it a them for metacity( gtk ) or a theme for emerald ? | 23:25 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: this is nothing to do with dns | 23:25 |
| aladinsane | LiMaO: i was not looking for that, it was just an example, but now i got the hang of it, perfect! i can even find hidden files. I havent figured out how to search on my ntfs drives though, is that possible? | 23:25 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: so domainserver would just be the hostname? | 23:26 |
| ubunt-probl | hi there, i am havin problems to shutdown my pc, when i click on the quit buttons nothing happens, when i try to open termina nothing happens, i need to use power on/off button to shutdown my pc. yes i did re-installed ubuntu and i still have this problem | 23:26 |

| ikonia | WGGMk yes | 23:26 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: awesome... apprecaite all the help dude.. you roxxors | 23:26 |
| Pelo | dmi3on, you should only have to drop the tar.gz file on the theme manager to get it installed and working | 23:26 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: welcome | 23:26 |
| LiMaO | aladinsane: it's great to know you've learnt to use such a powerful tool =D btw, sure it's possible, just point to your ntfs partition. the syntax of the command is: sudo find [directory to search] -name "[file name, wildcards allowed]" | 23:27 |

| soundray | Jack_Sparrow: add the -xdev option | 23:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thanks again.. | 23:31 |
| dmi3on | Pelo: ok | 23:31 |
| Pelo | mastericky, that should have installed build essential , which is what you need in order to complie from source | 23:31 |
| kirika | mastericky, he means the extension of the file you downloaded for what you want to install | 23:31 |
| Pelo | mastericky, now go to the folder with the source of the application you want to instal (in the terminal) and type ./configure | 23:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | soundray: Took awhile to find it earlier, I deleted it but still have not recovered the lost space | 23:31 |
| soundray | Jack_Sparrow: empty your recycle bin ;) | 23:32 |
| mastericky | yes, i already did that. I go to /vsftpd-2.0.5 i write ./configure | 23:32 |
| mastericky | but.... | 23:32 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: on DOMAIN.INTERNAL if the domain name was ubuntu.org the DOMAIN part would be ubuntu and the INTERNAL would be ORG? and im understanding that correctly? | 23:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Did that too.. as well as the root trash | 23:32 |
| mastericky | bash: ./configure: No existe el fichero ó directorio | 23:32 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: no | 23:32 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: that is just a place holder the internal host/dns name of your server | 23:33 |
| soundray | Jack_Sparrow: what did you use for deleting? | 23:33 |
| Pelo | dmi3on, ok open the theme manager goto the theme tab, at the bottom , the customise button, under controls and borders , you'll find divinorum-orange, it's not a full theme just the bits of it | 23:33 |
| Mark761966 | I want to add some icons to my usr/share/icons folder | 23:33 |
| Pelo | and it is absolutely hideous | 23:33 |
| sethk | mastericky, if you are in a source directory, ./configure exists, so either the source is not where you think, or it wasn't installed correctly. | 23:33 |
| thespore | is there anyway for me to see what model my motherboard is without opening up my PC and looking? I think belarc advisor did it in windows. | 23:33 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: any example of how that would look? | 23:33 |
| Pelo | mastericky, look in tha tfolder for a files called install and read it | 23:33 |

| * Pelo goes blind from the black on black theme he just tried | 23:34 | |
| soundray | thespore: you can identify lots of details about your main board by running lspci -v | 23:34 |
| sethk | mastericky, unless it is a pull from CVS, then configure has to be created by a preceding step, but I think that's not your situation. | 23:34 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: so ultimatly DOMAIN and DOMAIN.INTERNAL could be the same thing if your using just 1 uniform name accross the board right? | 23:34 |
| mastericky | MMM | 23:35 |

| zouzou | i bought a new sound card (diamond XS71) and i installed it on the mobo, but no sound comes out of it, is there something i have to do to have it work in ubuntu? | 23:37 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: you need to go away and think about what your doing | 23:37 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: people on a wan don't authenticate across the interne | 23:37 |
| ikonia | internet | 23:37 |
| Pelo | zouzou, try disabli8ng the onboard one from the bios | 23:37 |
| m1r | WGGMk: ignoring unknown interface eth0 | 23:37 |
| zouzou | ohhh , how do i do that Pelo? | 23:37 |
| Ely | Pelo that's what I was checking out but I'm not sure if I should edit it besides I only see two things I can modify there | 23:37 |
| Ely | Horizsync30-70 | 23:37 |
| Ely | Vertrefresh50-160 | 23:37 |
| dxdt | zouzou: open a terminal and run dmesg. See if you can find anything about the hardware listed. Use dmesg | less if it all scrolls by too quickly. | 23:37 |
| WGGMk | m1r: how is it setup? how is it getting IP via DHCP directly to modem or thru a rotuer? | 23:37 |
| Ely | would that be brightness at all? | 23:38 |
| mastericky | http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/vsftpd-5067.shtml | 23:38 |
| flyingfree | hello all | 23:38 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: then thru VPN? | 23:38 |
| mastericky | i am not very ery sure | 23:38 |
| soundray | zouzou: System-Preferences-Sound | 23:38 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: or VLAN rather | 23:38 |
| ikonia | WGGMk: thats one option yes | 23:38 |
| zouzou | dxdt, i could see that it is recognized by lspci | 23:38 |
| Mark761966 | Oh fine. I'm going to eat a honey sandwich | 23:38 |
| Pelo | zouzou, reboot, hit del right when the comp starts, enter the bios look around for onboard sound set to disable, you might also have to do something to detect your new audio card in ubuntu but I donT' know about that | 23:38 |
| Mark761966 | LD | 23:38 |
| flyingfree | what command would I use to find out what my computer's IP address | 23:38 |
| Mark761966 | :D | 23:38 |
| mastericky | but somene also saw it | 23:38 |
| zouzou | thanx pelo | 23:38 |
| m1r | WGGMk: it is 2nd card for serving dhcp | 23:38 |
| sethk | flyingfree, ifconfig | 23:38 |
| zouzou | Pelo | 23:38 |
| Pelo | mastericky, is there a reasaon why you won'T insatll the one in the repos ? | 23:39 |
| soundray | flyingfree: ifconfig | 23:39 |
| LinuxFakeRaid | hi there.. how can i install ubuntu on a fakeraid? i have a sil 3114 fakeraid.. and i cant install ubuntu next to my windows partitions | 23:39 |
| WGGMk | m1r: then what is your first eth? eth1? | 23:39 |
| mastericky | look, i have to make a job | 23:39 |
| m1r | WGGMk: wlan0 | 23:39 |
| Mcavity | can anyone tell me why it seems natualus is mounting windos shars with smb rather than CIFs? | 23:39 |
| mastericky | is about: compile the source coude | 23:39 |
| WGGMk | m1r: wlan0 is getting ip via DHCP thru a wireless modem? | 23:39 |
| mastericky | explain it, line by line | 23:39 |
| flyingfree | thats ipconfig? | 23:39 |
| sethk | mastericky, if you want to learn how to compile, perhaps you should start with an easier package | 23:40 |
| Pelo | mastericky, hold on , I'm taking a look | 23:40 |
| flyingfree | sorry bad etiqutte | 23:40 |
| mastericky | so, i am just starting, because i want to compile it, but i cant | 23:40 |
| flyingfree | soundray that is ipconfig? | 23:40 |
| sethk | flyingfree, ifconfig | 23:40 |
| m1r | WGGMk: net----wlan(staticip)/eth0(should serve dhcp) | 23:40 |
| soundray | Pelo: I can't help butfeeling that mastericky is trying to boss you around | 23:40 |
| mastericky | please! tank you | 23:40 |
| sethk | if I said ipconfig I had a windows brain fart :) | 23:40 |
| flyingfree | sethk soundray okay ifconfig | 23:40 |
| flyingfree | thanks | 23:40 |
| soundray | !attitude | mastericky | 23:40 |
| ubotu | mastericky: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 23:40 |
| Pelo | soundray, I can't help but feeling htat mastericky is in over his head | 23:40 |
| sethk | nosc, I did say ifconfig, _you_ had a windows brain fart. :) | 23:41 |
| WGGMk | m1r: then you need to give eth0 a static IP as well.. something like 192.168.1.1 i personally use 192.168.0.1 | 23:41 |
| mastericky | what? i am sorry | 23:41 |
| Pelo | mastericky, this job you ahve to do of compilling from source, does it have to be this app ? | 23:41 |
| jacob_ | can somebody help me find kylix 3 libraries? i can't seem to find any | 23:41 |
| thenetduck | hi I need some support with updating my firmware? How can I use freedos to install updated firmware on my Ubuntu machine? | 23:41 |
| Mark761966 | *Munch* | 23:41 |
| admin_ | how do I get Sans font? | 23:41 |
| mastericky | my english is not very good | 23:41 |
| admin_ | Straight up Sans, not *Sans | 23:41 |
| sethk | mastericky, I think this is more of a language problem. Have you tried #ubuntu-es? | 23:41 |
| WGGMk | m1r: are you serving DHCP thru eth0 and using a router as a switch/bridge? or a hub? | 23:41 |
| mastericky | nup | 23:41 |
| mastericky | where is it? | 23:41 |
| Pelo | mastericky, this is not a regular application to compile, it will not be done the regular way | 23:41 |
| mastericky | in channels? | 23:42 |
| sethk | mastericky, here, yes. | 23:42 |
| flyingfree | ok sethk and soundray got that now is the defualt for ubuntu to keep the same address or is dynamic changing everytime I log on? | 23:42 |
| Mark761966 | *MOIL* | 23:42 |
| mastericky | ok, thanks | 23:42 |
| sethk | flyingfree, the default setup is to find and use a DHCP server. That can be changed of course. | 23:42 |
| m1r | WGGMk: net----wlan0/eth0 (should be serving dhcp)---AP----laptop | 23:42 |
| WGGMk | ikonia: so using a dyndns account assuming the top level domain is server.. my domain.internal would NOT be server.dyndns.org or would that point the ldap auth to the internet? | 23:42 |
| sethk | flyingfree, now, in general, using a dhcp server doesn't mean it will change each time, but it does mean it _may_ change each time. | 23:42 |
| WGGMk | m1r: you laptop is an Access Point??? not sure im understanding your setup | 23:43 |
| WGGMk | m1r: oops.. sorry your laptop is going thru an AP... what are you using as an AP? | 23:43 |
| m1r | yep WGGMk | 23:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | soundray: Thanks again.. I am having a brainfart day... That took care of it.. K9Copy must not like my sata DVD burner | 23:43 |
| thenetduck | does anyone here know how to use freedos? | 23:43 |
| admin_ | how do I get hte Sans font? | 23:43 |
| m1r | WGGMk: eth0 should serve dhcp but it must be brought up with no attributes, just auto eth0 | 23:44 |
| soundray | Jack_Sparrow: k9copy sometimes stumbles over copy protection measures as well | 23:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | It made a good 4gig copy of the dvd | 23:44 |
| ikonia | did someone call my name ? | 23:44 |
| Dr_willis | thenetduck, you may want to try out 'dosbox' also. If you need to run some dos apps. | 23:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | soundray: It just didnt want to burn it. | 23:44 |
| Pelo | ikonia, ikonia ikonia | 23:44 |
| thenetduck | Dr_willis: I am trying to install fireware for my motherboard | 23:44 |
| WGGMk | m1r: eth0 (your DHCP Server interface) NEEDS to have a static IP or else you wont know where to look for an IP address | 23:45 |
| ikonia | Pelo: funny | 23:45 |
| Dr_willis | thenetduck, you want to flash the firmware of your MB? | 23:45 |
| * Pelo now waits for ikonia to appear out fo the floor | 23:45 | |
| thenetduck | Dr_willis: but MSI makes you install it though XP , someone said I could install it with FreeDos somehow | 23:45 |
| thenetduck | Dr_willis: what does Flash it mean? Sorry I have never done this before | 23:45 |
| Mcavity | can anyone tell me why it seems nautilus is mounting windows shares with smb rather than CIFS? | 23:45 |
| mindstorms | مرحبا | 23:45 |
| Dr_willis | thenetduck, if they have a dos based installer. You could make/use a freedos livecd and run it from there. perhaps. | 23:45 |
| m1r | WGGMk: can i PM you | 23:45 |
| WGGMk | m1r: look at this http://pastebin.com/d32a944ee (this is my setup that I place in /etc/rc.local) | 23:45 |
| talphin | how do I save modprobe ndiswrapper to turn on at boot? | 23:45 |
| m1r | sec WGGMk | 23:45 |
| admin_ | how do I get the Sans font? | 23:45 |
| Dr_willis | thenetduck, you want to upgrade your firmware? on the MB? (flash means upgrade/reburn) | 23:46 |
| choudesh | talisein: add it to /etc/modules | 23:46 |
| zetheroo | I have the oddest problem with Scribus in Ubuntu | 23:46 |
| WGGMk | m1r: eth1 (my DHCP Interface) would be eth0 for you.. and eth0 (my interface getting IP via DHCP) would be wlan0 for you | 23:46 |
| zetheroo | when I move the main window to the left side of the screen I loose funtionality of the menus on the left sie of Scribus | 23:46 |
| thenetduck | Dr_willis: oh yes, that's what I want to do | 23:46 |
| Pelo | talphin, you just put ndiswrapper in menu > system> prefs < session , and then save session in the 3rd tab | 23:46 |
| zetheroo | and when I move the main window to the right side of the screen I get the funtionality back | 23:46 |
| zetheroo | anyone? | 23:46 |
| admin_ | how do I get the Sans font?!!!!!!!!??????? | 23:46 |
| Dr_willis | thenetduck, i would suggest you really use XP for it. OR as i said a 'freedos' live cd If they have the dos based tools to flash the bios. | 23:46 |
| soundray | thenetduck: maybe this helps: http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html | 23:47 |
| m1r | WGGMk: ok, i will try tnx m8 | 23:47 |
| WGGMk | m1r: you get all my msgs? | 23:47 |
| Pelo | admin_, where ? | 23:47 |
| m1r | only one | 23:47 |
| m1r | wait i check more WGGMk | 23:47 |
| admin_ | Pelo: possibly where/how | 23:47 |
| Dr_willis | thenetduck, i would be suprised if they had dos based upgradeing tools. | 23:47 |
| WGGMk | m1r: one more thing.. if you use that (adjusted for your needs) you'll also need to restart the server | 23:47 |
| webclectic | does anyone knows any good program in linux for editing pdf files? | 23:47 |
| Pelo | admin_, where do you want sans to display ? what do you need it for ? | 23:47 |
| m1r | WGGMk: many tnx, i go test right away | 23:47 |
| talphin | Pelo, thanks | 23:47 |
| ricanelite | how can I check to see if I have OpenGL running? | 23:47 |
| WGGMk | m1r: which you can also put in /etc/rc.local something like "sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart" | 23:47 |
| jacob_ | i need somebody to help me install kylix libraries | 23:48 |
| soundray | Dr_willis: most manufacturers still provide DOS based tools for BIOS flashing | 23:48 |
| choudesh | admin_: !behaviour | 23:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thenetduck: BE advised that if a flash goes wrong.. your MB will be a doorstop. DOnt flash unless you are sure the flash update fixes a specific problem you are having. | 23:48 |
| admin_ | Pelo: I upgraded to Gutsy today, and fonts got all "messed up", I always have this problem when upgrading, was I using Sans before or does that even exist in *ubuntu | 23:48 |
| talphin | Pelo, doing sudo modprobe ndiswrapper each reboot gets annoying lol | 23:48 |
| Mcavity | heres how to flash bios | 23:48 |
| Dr_willis | soundray, heck my new MB's can do it from the bios. :) no need for the os. | 23:48 |

| sysme | hu | 23:48 |
| jacob_ | i downloaded the tarball but when i install it i get "[: 10: ==: unexpected operator" | 23:48 |
| Pelo | admin_, it does, try from the font dialog in prefs , changing the fonts should give you the list of fonts to select from | 23:48 |
| sysme | Can someone of you help me setting up my fluxbox ? | 23:49 |
| eyemean | hi there, eery now and then ubuntu 7.10 decides to freeze on me, is there anyway i can check if its a hard drive problem or anything like that | 23:49 |
| thenetduck | Jack_Sparrow: ya i'm not 100% positive... I am having some serious pain in the butt issues with ubuntu | 23:49 |
| admin_ | Pelo: I'm using KDE, not gnome | 23:49 |
| admin_ | and it doesn't show it in the kcontrol | 23:49 |
| jacob_ | anybody who is willing to help before they make there intense research about it | 23:49 |
| Pelo | admin_, ask in #kubuntu | 23:49 |
| thenetduck | Jack_Sparrow: when watching flash, videos or sometimes just doing nothing at all | 23:49 |
| Dr_willis | sysme, set up in what way? | 23:49 |
| eyemean | *every | 23:49 |
| jacob_ | ...let me know about it | 23:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thenetduck: Then I really doubt your issue is with the MB bios | 23:49 |
| sysme | I have fluxbox up and running, but i've no idea how to add a downloaded style | 23:49 |
| * Pelo can'T access the font dialog anymore, weird | 23:49 | |
| eegore | what do I need to do to get apps to share the sound card in feisty | 23:50 |
| thenetduck | Jack_Sparrow: things seem to just crash on me without a warning. It's very annoying and aggravating | 23:50 |
| attunix | jacob_: what tarball? | 23:50 |
| Trae | what's the best way to Dual boot a machine. Partition, install Windows first? Or.... install Linux first. | 23:50 |
| thenetduck | Jack_Sparrow: well I think it's a driver to my mother board issue and was hoping if I did an update, the drivers would work | 23:50 |
| mindstorms | webclickt : try Evince Document viewer | 23:50 |
| sysme | Dr_willis, you've read what i mean ? | 23:50 |
| eegore | I have a laptop that does not allow more than one app to access the sound card | 23:50 |
| Pelo | Trae, windows first | 23:50 |
| jacob_ | attunix wait let me tell you........ | 23:50 |
| Dr_willis | sysme, i would say check the fluxbox docs/manpage/homepage. - i think they go in .fluxbox/themes | 23:50 |
| thenetduck | Jack_Sparrow: i know it's not my graphics card, ram or cpu heat .... so that only leaves my hard drive and motherboard | 23:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thenetduck: Just letting you know the dangers of flashing the bios... | 23:51 |
| attunix | sysme: hu to you too :) | 23:51 |
| Trae | Pelo, then you can resize under the Ubuntu installer etc right? | 23:51 |
| soundray | thenetduck: this kind of problem is due to bad RAM in most cases. Run memtest86 from the grub menu for a few hours | 23:51 |
| ricanelite | does anyone use Mythtv? | 23:51 |
| choudesh | ricanelite: what do you need? | 23:51 |
| mindstorms | webclektic: try Evine | 23:51 |
| jacob_ | attunix: i downloaded "kylixlibs3-borqt-3.0-2.tar.gz" from .......... | 23:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thenetduck: it could be your OS or how it is setup. | 23:51 |
| ricanelite | well does mythtv use GL? | 23:51 |
| Pelo | Trae, use the live cd to partiton your hdd before hand, make a partiton for windows and a partiton for ubuntu, then install windows first and install ubuntu on the other partiton afterward | 23:51 |
| webclectic | thanks mindstorms | 23:51 |
| ricanelite | because I want to check if my OpenGL is running right | 23:51 |
| eyemean | xgl runs very high when watching tv on ubuntu 7.10, is that normal/ | 23:51 |
| thenetduck | soundray: for a few hours? ok I only have checked it in like 10 min increments. I gues a few hours would do it | 23:51 |
| sysme | dr_willis, the fluxbox folder is in the root dir i guess ~/.fluxbox, but i've no access to it :/ | 23:52 |
| ricanelite | I have a Nvidia GeForce 8400GS | 23:52 |
| choudesh | ricanelite: yes, mythtv uses opengl | 23:52 |
| mindstorms | Evence Document viewer | 23:52 |
| wanger | sysme, they go in ~/.fluxbox/styles | 23:52 |
| jacob_ | attunix: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=kylixlibs&filename=kylixlibs3-borqt-3.0-2.tar.gz&use_mirror=superb-west | 23:52 |
| thenetduck | soundray: do you think having SATA cables to my hard drive would effect anything vs IDE ? | 23:52 |
| Pelo | mindstorms, evince | 23:52 |
| ricanelite | okay so if Mythtv is running right that means my OpenGL is fine? | 23:52 |
| attunix | jacob_: what is that? | 23:52 |
| sysme | wanger, and how can i access this folder ? | 23:52 |
| Dr_willis | sysme, that would be for the root users personal styles. You running fluxboxc as root? WHY? | 23:52 |
| mindstorms | yes pelo | 23:52 |
| jacob_ | attunix a tarball to install the kylix library | 23:52 |
| sethk | thenetduck, it shouldn't | 23:53 |
| attunix | jacob_: why'd you pm me? | 23:53 |
| Dr_willis | sysme, man fluxstyle has a lot of info -> There are many places to store your styles, the most common is in your ~/.fluxbox/styles directory. | 23:53 |
| attunix | sysme: hu! :D | 23:53 |
| soundray | thenetduck: no, that wouldn't cause random crashes at least | 23:53 |
| sysme | dr_willis, i installed it like sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 23:53 |
| choudesh | ricanelite: not really. opengl only uses a subset of gl - join #mythtv for more information | 23:53 |
| jacob_ | attunix, let me show you something, you might help me out with this...........give me a sec | 23:53 |
| thenetduck | soundray: it's not complete system crashes, its just my X crashing | 23:53 |
| wanger | sysme: open a terminal and type cd ~/.fluxbox/styles or open it in nautilus | 23:53 |
| sysme | dr_willis, the sudo command was wrong or ? | 23:53 |
| Dr_willis | sysme, so you installed it system wide.. make a .fluxbox/styles dir | 23:53 |
| thenetduck | soundray: or just the application | 23:53 |
| attunix | jacob_: ok... :P | 23:53 |
| pwnt- | hello, I got some avi movies that has subs in saperated files called something.srt <-- this file has the subtitle. however in windows when i view the .avi movie. I see the subtitle, but in linux I don't. in windows i have this program called "vobsub" that i install. | 23:54 |
| thenetduck | soundray: i guess that does sound like a ram issue | 23:54 |
| Mcavity | well looks like my first question cant be answered . heh must be a hard one. | 23:54 |
| choudesh | Dr_willis: Hi. How are you doing tonight? Didn't see you in the channel. Just noticed ya. ;-) | 23:54 |
| sysme | dr_willis, where ? home dir ? | 23:54 |
| soundray | thenetduck: my bet is still on bad RAM | 23:54 |
| ricanelite | does anyone use Cedega by Transgaming? | 23:54 |
| Mcavity | how about this.. anyone know why burning DVDs is so slow? | 23:54 |
| Dr_willis | sysme, yes. each user can have their own styles | 23:54 |
| thenetduck | soundray: ill test and check be back later ... thanks | 23:54 |
| wanger | sysme, you'll need to get nautilus to show hidden files and folders somehow | 23:54 |
| attunix | sysme: hu | 23:54 |

| axisys | i have trying for months to find out why my laptop slows down when running from wifi.. | 23:55 |
| attunix | sysme: why'd you say "hu" to me? :P just wondering ;) | 23:55 |
| Pelo | Mcavity, you can select the speed of the burning in the ap usualy, and it might also be caused by how busy your computer is ,and how fast your drive can go | 23:55 |
| jacob_ | attunix, it can't be installed correctly because there is an error in the code | 23:55 |
| sysme | dr_willis, ok i created a dir fluxbox/styles @ home dir | 23:55 |
| axisys | i have to reboot to fix the problem | 23:55 |
| wanger | sysme, good stuff - i found the fluxbox documentation to be quite hard work in places, but everything's there | 23:55 |
| attunix | jacob_: why are you asking me? :P | 23:55 |
| jacob_ | attunix the unexpected "==" | 23:55 |
| jacob_ | attunix, well you joined in to help me, i didn't call you for that you know ;) | 23:55 |
| Dr_willis | sysme, its .fluxbox/styles | 23:55 |

| sysme | wanger, when i click right @ my desktop when i'm running fluxbox, there's nothing :/ | 23:57 |
