| Mcavity | choudesh : humm that sounds like something interesting if i understand you right.. you manually told it how to mount? how did you do this? | 00:26 |
| choudesh | shawn_selig29: cd /home/shawn/Desktop (capitol D) | 00:26 |
| bardyr | (jHey | 00:26 |
| murkyMurk | shawn_selig29: capital D in desktop probably | 00:26 |
| installing-mytht | choudesh: That helped,, the font is darker,, and I think the number of colors were reduced | 00:26 |
| shawn_selig29 | thxs..lol | 00:26 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: recompiled the cifs to understand smbmount parameters | 00:26 |
| choudesh | installing-mytht: hmmm... | 00:27 |
| bardyr | i have a problem with my wifi+ndiswrapper, my wifi/ndisrapper will first scan when i manually stop and start the wifi on the laptop buttom, is there a way to turn on and off the wifi on boot? | 00:27 |
| choudesh | installing-mytht: sudo cat /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD/brightness | 00:27 |
| installing-mytht | choudesh: taking it to 0.2 make's it look almost normal | 00:27 |
| choudesh | installing-mytht: tell me what it returns | 00:27 |
| soundray | jack-desktop: is it enabled? System-Preferences-Indexing preferences | 00:28 |
| Mcavity | choudesh: huhI may be out of my depth.. but it sounds like the right track.. I'm on a gigabit network but my data transfer rates are 1/3 what they should be | 00:28 |
| choudesh | installing-mytht: nevermind - that last thing won't work. | 00:28 |
| jack-desktop | soundray: yes, I have indexing and watching enabled. | 00:28 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: Yea I know. But if you sftp them - they are 3 times faster | 00:28 |
| Mcavity | choudesh: is there a document on how to do that? | 00:28 |
| installing-mytht | choudesh: after the video directory I have no more files | 00:28 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: if you sftp a file that is. neither samba or cifs have that much overhead. | 00:28 |
| soundray | jack-desktop: have you given it time to create an index? | 00:29 |
| thenetduck | soundray: well you were right, the memory shows up with a bunch of red... | 00:29 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: If you want - you can send me an email and I can give you some directions. | 00:29 |
| jack-desktop | soundray: is a month or two enough? | 00:29 |
| thenetduck | soundray: didn't even take hours of testing ! | 00:29 |
| Mcavity | choudesh: cool I'll do that | 00:29 |
| choudesh | installing-mytht: yea - I kinda figured. play around with xgamma till you find a good setting. | 00:29 |
| SAM_theman | forget it I am taking off studip | 00:29 |
| SAM_theman | *studio | 00:29 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: PM me for my email. | 00:29 |
| SAM_theman | there seems to be no help for x64 | 00:29 |
| SAM_theman | just install 32 | 00:29 |
| soundray | thenetduck: oh well, time to swap out modules. | 00:29 |
| michom | i have a problem which i encountered with all distros. the sound in my laptop, i have 2 speakers and 1 woofer, the problem in linux that i have master for speakers and master mono for woofer, is there anyway to combine both instead of controlling each one on its own? | 00:30 |
| installing-mytht | chouhesg: thanks,, I'll mess around with it, and I'll try to find out more about the drivers,, | 00:30 |
| soundray | jack-desktop: running all the time? | 00:30 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: but it still doesn't explain why traffering from nautilus using cifs/smb is so damn slow and sftp is about 3 times faster | 00:30 |
| jack-desktop | soundray: yes, it has been enabled since day 1, and I usually keep my computer on for days until a reboot | 00:30 |
| murkyMurk | michom: not that i've ever found - you would hope that 'master' does it all but it doesn't | 00:31 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: I even set the priority and affinity for ssh down and to only use 333mhz and it still if faster. So I am stumped. ;-) | 00:31 |
| Mcavity | choudesh: pm sent. I think. [new to xirc] | 00:31 |
| ganjistus | i think about territorial missing | 00:31 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: I didn't get it. | 00:31 |
| ganjistus | maybe you should come as you are | 00:31 |
| michom | murkyMurk: yes, that's the problem, i have to change both slides to get the sound like "normal" | 00:31 |
| executionist | i just installed ubuntu, i need some help installing my modem drivers and connecting to the internet (dialup) | 00:31 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: choudeshell@gmail.com | 00:31 |
| Mcavity | choudesh: can you pm me? | 00:31 |
| Mcavity | got it | 00:32 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: Really don't care if anyone has my email. Make it look like I am helping more people. ;-) | 00:32 |
| Mcavity | lol | 00:32 |
| murkyMurk | michom: I think it's a 'feature' of ALSA sound. I certainly never had the problem with OSS. We just have to live with it I guess | 00:32 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: or as Todd just said in PM - or it makes me look like I actually has friends. | 00:32 |
| michom | murkyMurk: so your telling me that there's nothing i can do about it? | 00:32 |
| Mcavity | LOL | 00:33 |
| choudesh | michom: what seems to be the issue? | 00:33 |
| amir_ | I uploaded my music to Rythymbox, however all my songs are duplicated.. is there a way to filter doubles? | 00:33 |
| murkyMurk | michom: no, I'm telling you that I've never found a solution. You could always ask ALSA direct, they may have an answer | 00:33 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: I am copying over 1TB, so it gives me time tonight to help out a few people. | 00:33 |
| michom | choudesh: my speakers and woofer in my laptop have different volume control, master and master mono, i want them combined | 00:33 |
| Mcavity | that might do it | 00:34 |
| stonekeeper | hi. I'm on the gutsy live CD and got a promise fakeraid windows partition. I've installed dmraid and activated the raid set and it shows up in /dev/mapper. When i run the installer, it sees it as 2 seperate drives. How will i get it to set up grub properly if the installer isn't seeing the raid set? thanks. | 00:34 |

| choudesh | dmi3on: themes for what? | 00:36 |
| murkyMurk | haoasakura: ifconfig | 00:36 |

| choudesh | michom: then there is no way to join them. they are two different multiplexers on the controller | 00:37 |
| jack-desktop | It says "Could not load beagle, libbeagle has been compiled without python bindings" could that be the problem? | 00:37 |
| choudesh | michom: you can "join" them so they are always at the same level though | 00:37 |
| soundray | jack-desktop: could be | 00:37 |
| midvalley | Has anyone gotten songbird to work yet? | 00:38 |

| davejansen | Hey Everybody~! I'm trying to install Wubi on one of my computers, but I keep getting an error during installation (after reboot). It apparently hangs at the kernel installation part for no apparent reason. The ISO the installer downloaded seems to be working just fine. If you need more specific info, please tell me so I can provide it to you. Thanks in advance! | 00:38 |
| Mcavity | choudesh: ok email sent. I sent what I have done to see that CIFS does not seem to be the default. | 00:38 |

| Attauk | larson999, we heard you the first time | 00:41 |
| domor21 | I installe ubuntu, then installed the restricted driver for my gefore 8500gt, then i reboot and ubuntu start loading then the screen just cuts out can somone help me | 00:41 |
| amir_ | Can someone help me? I uploaded my music to Rythymbox, however all my songs are duplicated.. is there a way to filter doubles? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. | 00:41 |
| fisknoll | maybeway36: I'm in KDE right now, none of those things had any effect | 00:41 |
| michom | choudesh: ok let me check and come back to you | 00:41 |
| BADKITTY | domor: dunno did you try to reconfigure x????? | 00:41 |
| maybeway36 | hmm... | 00:41 |
| stonekeeper | choudesh: it's ok. The installer has now picked up my dmraid stuff | 00:41 |
| domor21 | BADKITTY: yes | 00:41 |
| maybeway36 | maybe a compiz problem | 00:41 |
| Mcavity | domor21: did you try booting to terminal? | 00:42 |
| maybeway36 | try typing: metacity --replace | 00:42 |
| choudesh | stonekeeper: :-D Glad I could help (sorry - giving myself props.:-D ) | 00:42 |
| domor21 | Mcavity: whats that | 00:42 |
| soundray | jack-desktop: I don't know how the index updates are scheduled. The best I can advise is to reboot and let it sit overnight. Feel free to ask the channel again, though. | 00:42 |
| Attauk | any idea why movie viewing crashes on a compiz enabled system? | 00:42 |
| ltgg | can anyone suggest a channel devoted to linux multimedia? | 00:42 |
| jack-desktop | soundray: i used the "Search for files" program and it found it | 00:42 |
| fisknoll | maybeway36: ahh, that worked, thank you | 00:42 |
| executionist | how do i connect to the internet with ubuntu ? | 00:42 |
| Mcavity | domor21: on boot up you will see 2 boot options.. the default and the other one... | 00:42 |
| gloin | Hey, as a recent immigrant from SuSE to Ubuntu, one of the things I really miss a lot is the ability to select a particular kernel/OS/whatever from the reboot confirmation prompt. Is there a pre-built package somewhere that I'm not seeing in adept, or do I get to fight with "rebootin" script? | 00:42 |
| soundray | jack-desktop: so you're sorted? | 00:42 |
| jack-desktop | soundray: no because tracker still doesn't work ;p | 00:43 |
| domor21 | Mcavity: yes i can boot into that (reconvery mode) | 00:43 |
| amir_ | Can someone help me? I uploaded my music to Rythymbox, however all my songs are duplicated.. is there a way to filter doubles? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. | 00:43 |
| jack-desktop | soundray: but i'll see if this beagle thing will work, thanks. | 00:43 |
| Mcavity | domor21: ok then your on the way to fixing it. | 00:43 |
| gloin | amir_: probably best to ask the rythymbox folks about that | 00:43 |
| fisknoll | maybeway36: that last thing worked | 00:43 |
| maybeway36 | good | 00:43 |
| maybeway36 | so it is probably a problem with compiz | 00:43 |
| choudesh | amir_: quickest way is to remove all files and readd everthing | 00:43 |
| soundray | jack-desktop: as far as I understand it, they work hand-in-hand | 00:43 |
| domor21 | Mcavity: how im a total newbie i had been using linux for 5 mins befoe this happened | 00:43 |
| ganjistus | my friend works at burgerworld, and he try to install ubuntu on his coffe machine | 00:43 |
| maybeway36 | you could try getting rid of packages with "compiz" in the name | 00:43 |
| fisknoll | ok, maybeway36, thank you | 00:43 |
| domor21 | then i rebooted and now | 00:43 |
| stonekeeper | choudesh: :) I'd installed dmraid from the CD but the partitioner doesn't detect it unless it's mounted. (Why isn't dmraid on the CD by default? o.O) | 00:43 |
| Mcavity | domor21: you need to go to etc>x11>xorg.conf and edit that file | 00:43 |
| Attauk | amir_ if im not mistaking rhytmbox uses a database to store the files, flush everything and add the files again | 00:43 |
| ganjistus | how can i help him?, it works now with billdos | 00:43 |
| domor21 | ok how do i edit aht file | 00:44 |
| murkyMurk | amir_: it's to do with the mp3 tags...if they aren't perfect then Rythmn box can get messy | 00:44 |
| pwnt- | everything is full in volume, and using totem player. but the volume isnt that high... I barely hear >_< | 00:44 |
| jack-desktop | soundray: how do i open up the "search for files" program? | 00:44 |
| yoyoned | #gentoo | 00:44 |
| choudesh | stonekeeper: I don't get into the realm of default-cd. ;-) But you can add it to the hardy wishlist. | 00:44 |
| soundray | jack-desktop: right-click on the applet | 00:44 |
| amir_ | Thanks.. ill try removing all files and readding them | 00:44 |
| domor21 | mcavity: how do i edit that file | 00:44 |
| Mcavity | domor21: you need to go to etc>x11>xorg.conf and edit that file or copy the previous version of that file over top of the bad one. | 00:44 |
| shockwaver | I'm not sure what the decorum is for asking questions. Can I post a link to an ubuntuforums.org thread I have that never got a response? | 00:44 |
| davejansen | More clarification on the error, virtual terminal #4 tells me this: Errors were encountered while processing: /cdrom//pool/main/linux-source-2.6.20/linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic_2.6.20-15.27_i386.deb | 00:44 |

| murkyMurk | eltux: that sounds like your hardware is not fully supported which is unusual - what soundcard is it? | 00:56 |
| domor | V it can;t find the packages on the thins where they donlowad form (resprotory maybe | 00:56 |

| choudesh | Mcavity: I believe it is in the multi or universe. | 00:58 |
| tony_ | Good point. All I *really* *really* *really* needed was the nm-applet, and that was cake to get to work. | 00:58 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: universe. if he can't find it - tell him to add universe | 00:58 |
| choudesh | Mcavity: ~rather enable it. | 00:58 |
| thenetduck | what advantages does compiling a program from source vs install the .deb file have? | 00:59 |
| murkyMurk | eltux: linux sound (on Ubuntu) is handled by ALSA. ALSA have drivers for practically all soundcards but usually it's all automatic - i'll just check on ALC880 | 00:59 |
| domor | choudesh: how do i do that | 00:59 |

| Pelo | domor, for the vesa thing, when you get the question and answer part of dpkg-reconfigure you get a question about selecting your chipset or dirver or card not sure which is it , been a while, nvidia might be mentionned intell probably is in the list, vesa should be in as well, don't select a very high res when asked or a heavy color depth | 01:23 |

| danbhfive | uBOTu, i think ubotu is a bot | 01:43 |
| Pelo | vizion|metA, yes it is | 01:43 |
| gunspoja | heh | 01:43 |

| gunspoja | I'm going to install gutsy on a brand-spankin' new pc, and I'm planning to dual-boot with windows xp. how should I set up the partitioning, and in which order should I install ubuntu and windows? | 01:44 |
| demon_spork | guspoja, windows first | 01:44 |
| z07jcc | I seem to be having a problem with startup. I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 and I keep getting a boot error during startup | 01:44 |
| === ubuntu is now known as wirechief1 | ||
| gunspoja | i know that if you install windows after, it overwrites grub, but then I've had numerous instances where I get grub error 21 when installing ubuntu at a partition towards the end of a drive | 01:44 |
| Pelo | gunspoja, windows first , pre-partition using gparged on the live cd, it will save you re partitioning when you install ubuntu | 01:44 |
| demon_spork | guspoja, other than that, it doesn't really matter, as long as you have 3 partitions, one for windows, one for ubuntu, and one for linux swap | 01:44 |
| foldart | gunspoja: windows first, allocating whatever you need for it and leaving the rest free. The ubuntu installer will install into the free space | 01:45 |
| vizion|metA | Could anyone help me with Ubuntu 7.10 and my x800 pro, I'm trying to get the fglrx drivers working but I bootup with a black screen. I posted a thread on the ubuntu forums with what i've tried and my xorg.conf if anyones willing | 01:45 |
| gunspoja | I get the impression that grub wants to be at the start of the disk for some reason | 01:45 |
| z07jcc | I am only able to get in by putting in the install disc and going to the boot from hard drive 1 option | 01:45 |
| gunspoja | a friend of mine got completely turned off of ubuntu due to this problem actually | 01:45 |
| gunspoja | stupid error 21 | 01:45 |
| mosibfu | gunspoja: grub will install on mbr, master boot record, it is not on disk itself, but more like, on the disk's bios | 01:45 |
| gunspoja | yeah i know | 01:45 |
| gunspoja | I'm taking about the ubuntu partition, not grub | 01:45 |
| ahmad | gnomelook44 , hmmm , sorry i do not know how to solve this , i would post the issue again , ask them hier , anybody have an expierience with such think may help u | 01:45 |
| mosibfu | gunspoja: rest shuld not matter at all ;) | 01:45 |
| Jimmi_jones | can anyone here help me out getting a broadcom 4311 working on a fresh 7.10 install? | 01:46 |
| gunspoja | well, it obviously does | 01:46 |
| Pelo | gunspoja, error 21 just means you need to edit menu.lst to point to the correct partiton for ubuntu | 01:46 |
| gunspoja | because I've had NUMEROUS times where grub error 21 occurs when the ubuntu partition isnt right at the start of the disk | 01:46 |
| rbil | gunspoja: grub is normally installed in /boot/grub on your / partition. the MBR is another thing and is usually installed on hda or hd0 as grub refers to it | 01:46 |
| gnomelook44 | Does anybody know how to fix a line in my awn manager | 01:46 |
| mosibfu | <Pelo> gunspoja, error 21 just means you need to edit menu.lst to point to the correct partiton for ubuntu | 01:46 |
| gunspoja | mosibfu, and why wouldnt it point at the correct partition in the first place? its just been installed | 01:47 |
| gunspoja | one would think that the installer would tell grub where the correct partition is | 01:47 |
| mosibfu | gunspoja: that i dont know, but i have had ubuntu on the last 20 gb of a 250 gb disk.. | 01:47 |
| gunspoja | instead of leaving it up to the user to manually fix their broken boot loader | 01:47 |
| gunspoja | mosibfu, yeah it doesnt always happen. sometimes it works, which is even more infuriating because its so inconsistent | 01:48 |
| Pelo | gunspoja, usualy someone messed up with the number of partitons on the hdd or the boot order of the hdd with leaves grub a bit confused | 01:48 |
| dav7 | ///win 6 | 01:48 |
| dav7 | oops | 01:48 |
| eltux | murkymurk: well my microphone works now but it still only allows for microphone instead of all the channels | 01:48 |
| gunspoja | Pelo, no, it was a clean install of ubuntu in a partition after one where windows xp sits | 01:48 |
| Kanuha | is there a free program simular to vmware workstation that I can run on my Athlon 64 pc? | 01:48 |
| eltux | !wine | kanuha | 01:48 |
| ubotu | kanuha: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 01:48 |
| gnomelook44 | ahmad: fixed it lol! | 01:49 |
| rbil | eltux: wine is not even close to being like vmware | 01:49 |
| Pelo | gunspoja, grub phase ones installs in the boot sector of the boot hdd, that is a must phase two is where ever the linux file system is | 01:49 |
| domor | wiht is vmware? | 01:49 |
| ahmad | gnomelook44 , lol , how | 01:49 |
| eltux | rbil: I know but its a start | 01:49 |

| massmurder | hey guys | 01:49 |
| mosibfu | kanuha: after 1 google search: Virtualbox | 01:49 |

| rbil | eltux: neither is an emulator | 01:50 |
| gnomelook44 | ahmad: in the awn appearance setting, there was an availible plugin show desktop i disabled it and bingo | 01:50 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | rbil, if you hate wine then just stop talking about it | 01:50 |
| eltux | rbil: fine. my bad. | 01:50 |
| massmurder | can some 1 help me with it? | 01:50 |
| === willie__ is now known as Massmurder | ||
| rbil | [Gutsy]TuTUXG: who said I hated wine? just that when someone asks for something like vmware, wine certainly ain't it | 01:50 |
| gunspoja | massmurder, #winehq | 01:50 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | rbil, vmware IS an emulator | 01:50 |
| mosibfu | gunspoja, boot from live cd, and use a text editor (started by sudo) then you can, without any problem, edit the menu.lst | 01:51 |
| domor | is vmware better than wine? | 01:51 |
| rbil | [Gutsy]TuTUXG: certainly is not | 01:51 |
| gunspoja | domor, they are different things | 01:51 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | domor, depends | 01:51 |
| ahmad | gnomelook44 , aha , good info. | 01:51 |
| gunspoja | neither is unambiguously better than the other | 01:51 |
| mosibfu | domor, vmware is something totally different, you cannot compare the 2 | 01:51 |

| domor | When you have wine does it inable you to instll windwos apps in linux or does it just let you run window apps from windows hdd | 01:59 |
| Pelo | Lapinux, how old is this install of ubuntu on your comp ? | 01:59 |
| gunspoja | how large should I set a swap partition to, with 2gb of ram? | 01:59 |
| Lapinux | Pelo: brand new on the one im having issues with | 01:59 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | domor, i can install warhammer with wine | 01:59 |
| Pelo | domor, it won't run windows apps from your windows install , you have to install the aps in wine | 01:59 |
| gnomelook44 | ahmad: using google to translate page =P | 01:59 |
| gunspoja | Pelo, thats not necessarily true | 01:59 |
| domor | o ok | 01:59 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | Pelo, u can, with some apps | 01:59 |
| Lapinux | Pelo: i have a ide drive as storage, it says its hdc, then i have 2 sata drives | 01:59 |
| Pelo | Lapinux, just clean install it , it will be easier, the grub issue will take care of itself | 01:59 |
| gunspoja | I can run several windows apps that I have installed, from their root directories, quite easily | 01:59 |
| talphin | what other distro can someone recommend to me that is worth trying out? | 02:00 |
| ahmad | gnomelook44 , u do not have to translate , just klick download | 02:00 |
| barbender | Pelo, ok i will try, but do you know the background of this issue, i assume thousands of people using mplayer on ubuntu ... | 02:00 |
| gnomelook44 | ahmad: umm what should i download the 0.4 or the 0.6? | 02:00 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | Pelo, just copy the installed folder to wine's drive_c dir | 02:00 |
| Lapinux | Pelo: i dont think it will, it was a fresh install, and it didnt work | 02:00 |
| comicinke1 | RaGzKiE: start from a live-cd, make a image of your ext2 partition, delete it, resize ntfs, play back your image | 02:00 |
| Pelo | Lapinux, my recommendation is that you change the boot hdd in the bios to the hdd you will install ubuntu on before you install ubuntu | 02:00 |
| gunspoja | [Gutsy]TuTUXG, thats unnecessary | 02:00 |
| ahmad | gnomelook44 , i was trying .4 | 02:00 |
| domor | what does the swap partion do? | 02:01 |
| Pelo | [Gutsy]TuTUXG, do not confuse the issue please | 02:01 |
| Lapinux | Pelo: it was set to sata, which is where i installed ubuntu | 02:01 |
| gunspoja | why do all you guys keep on saying that you can't run apps from their windows installs. yes you CNA | 02:01 |
| gunspoja | *CAN (lol) | 02:01 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | gunspoja, right, if u can rw ur ntfs partition | 02:01 |
| Pelo | Lapinux, unplug the storage hdd before proceeding you can add it to grub after ward | 02:01 |
| Pelo | I mean add it to fstab | 02:01 |
| Lapinux | Pelo: i was going to reinstall without the ide drive hooked up, then hook it up later, am stil afaid it will mess up when i do hook it up | 02:01 |
| Pelo | domor, memory extension | 02:01 |
| gunspoja | well, yea, why would you not rw the ntfs partition | 02:01 |
| domor | o ok | 02:02 |
| gunspoja | domor: swap space stores data that would normally go into ram when the OS decides that it shouldn't | 02:02 |
| domor | pelo: when you do dual boot where does grib go | 02:02 |
| gunspoja | like when the RAM is getting full | 02:02 |
| Pelo | Lapinux, it shouldn'T not as long as it is not set as the boot hdd | 02:02 |
| Lapinux | Pelo: ? if its a storage drive, i wouldnt add it to grub ? | 02:02 |
| gunspoja | if you have no swap space, your RAM gets full, and a process wants to add data to ram, it can't and bad things happen | 02:02 |
| Pelo | domor, grub is in two parts, phase one goes on the boot sector of the boot hdd, phase two goes in the ubuntu filesystem | 02:02 |
| domor | no im saying where does GRUb get installed | 02:02 |
| gnomelook44 | ahmad: how do i install the tar.gz file? | 02:03 |
| Lapinux | Pelo: well my thought was the bios treats the ide's as the first drives and the sata after that, even though i tell it to boot sata first | 02:03 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | in /boot | 02:03 |
| Pelo | Lapinux, grub should only list OS not drives | 02:03 |
| gunspoja | how large should I set a swap partition to, with 2gb of ram? | 02:03 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | 4 gb | 02:04 |
| ahmad | gnomelook44 , from your terminal write tar -xzvf compiz....the full name | 02:04 |
| Pelo | Lapinux,that might be a problem , if I understand what you mean correctly but at this point we are getting a bit over my head | 02:04 |
| gunspoja | :/ | 02:04 |
| domor | gunspoja: 38.9 gig | 02:04 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | theoretically | 02:04 |
| danbhfive | gunspoja: I have 2 gig ram, and I never use the swap partition | 02:04 |
| gunspoja | why 4gb? that seems like a fair bit | 02:04 |
| rbil | gunspoja: more than 2gb ... 3 would be fine | 02:04 |
| gunspoja | I've heard many times that the "2x your ram" rule is not very good | 02:04 |
| danbhfive | gunspoja: at 2g, you only need swap for hibernation | 02:04 |
| domor | wouldn;t the bigger the swap the better | 02:04 |
| gunspoja | yeah unless you actually use the 2gb :P | 02:04 |
| gmw_ | How do I update individual programs, i.e. get the newest version of Gimp? | 02:04 |
| gunspoja | domor, no | 02:04 |
| Pelo | Lapinux, leave the storage hdd in then, put it as boot hdd, in the bios and let phase one of grub install to it , that will solve the problem but you won't be able to boot fi you remove the storage hdd afterward | 02:04 |
| meta4ical | Could anyone help me with Ubuntu 7.10 and my x800 pro, I'm trying to get the fglrx drivers working but I bootup with a black screen. I posted a thread on the ubuntu forums with what i've tried and my xorg.conf if anyones willing? :( | 02:05 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | gunspoja, right, but "theoretically" it should double the ram | 02:05 |
| gunspoja | domor, swap doesn't improve performance at all | 02:05 |
| gunspoja | [Gutsy]TuTUXG, why is that? | 02:05 |
| robjo | lost beryl, anyone know how to get it back on 7.04? Was working this afternooon, then shut down the machine, now after the reboot it will no longer load????? | 02:05 |
| ahmad | gnomelook44 , then enter the new uncompressed compiz folder from the terminal , and write ./configure | 02:05 |
| rbil | gunspoja: with 2gb of RAM probably only use swap for hibernation, if u use that | 02:05 |
| Pelo | gmw_, you would need to intall it from source or a deb files , you get those from the aps website, | 02:05 |
| domor | meta4ical\: ive had the same problem twice im reinstalling ubuntu now | 02:05 |
| gunspoja | nah nobody ever uses hibernation :P | 02:05 |
| gnomelook44 | ahmad: didnt work | 02:05 |
| Pelo | gmw_, gutsy already has the latest gimp | 02:05 |

| tehquickness | Him how can I diagnose this problem? When I started witha fresh install, it would take no time at all to boot, now it takes a long long time | 02:55 |
| Pelo | gnomelook44, open synpatic, use the search feature, search for xcomposite, find it and isntall it , then go back to the terminal and run ./configure again | 02:55 |
| Schadenfreudist | tehquickness: does it take a long time to 'post' or boot ubuntu? | 02:56 |
| Pelo | davenull, my computer store ( the one where I buy) , is actively not selling vista unless asked because they don't want to deal with the mess | 02:56 |
| tehquickness | Schadenfreudist: yes | 02:56 |
| davenull | have you added any new boottime services, (samba, ftp server, anything of that sort) | 02:56 |
| Schadenfreudist | tehquickness: which one? | 02:56 |
| davenull | Pelo, hug the guys that work there for me | 02:57 |

| traiani | I bought two dell optiplex 745's this weekend and when I was configuring them Vista wasn't an option anymore. :) | 02:57 |
| Jangari | 'actively not selling' nice | 02:57 |
| Pelo | davenull, they still don't want to actively support linux tho, mind you they mostly sell game rigs | 02:57 |
| Schadenfreudist | tehquickness: power on self test. everything that happens before an OS logo shows up. | 02:57 |
| tehquickness | Schadenfreudist: if I watch the text boot, it will pause for a long time while saying "Reading files for boot" | 02:57 |
| davenull | thats ok though, step in the right direction | 02:57 |

| KurtKraut | How can I know how much RAM in bytes (not in %) a process is using ? man ps is not understandable about it. | 03:00 |
| Pelo | gnomelook44, that is what ./configure is for , you will have to run it until you have no more errors, that will meanyou hve all the dependencies required | 03:00 |
| tehquickness | Schadenfreudist: nope, never known about running that | 03:00 |
| Pelo | KurtKraut, top ? | 03:00 |
| KurtKraut | Pelo, top shows only %... I need the absolute values. | 03:00 |

| davenull | you, need a wireless card working? | 03:02 |
| Pelo | KurtKraut, try man top , see if you have the option for it , or there is probably a way to know the load for a specific process in there as well | 03:02 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, you asking me/ | 03:02 |
| davenull | yup | 03:02 |
| Schadenfreudist | tehquickness: try it. hit the esc key when grub says to and choose the second option and run fsck. | 03:02 |

| tehquickness | Schadenfreudist: ok I will give that a try. So this might be caused by some bad shutdowns? Any special instructions for reiserfs? | 03:03 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, yes, I already had Gutsy installed and tried the firmware broadcom 43xx driver, then tried ndiswrapper after the fact, I am now doing a fresh install as I think I had conflicts betweeen the 2 | 03:03 |
| domor | pelo: how do i just get to the terminal | 03:04 |
| Pelo | domor, not sure about that one, check those binairy howto instcturions again for more details, I've never had to dothat before | 03:04 |
| Pelo | domor, you can also boot the recovery mode, taht would work to | 03:04 |
| davenull | broadcoms have a trick | 03:04 |

| Ebiggs | are we allowed to get help on wine here? | 03:07 |
| davenull | jimmi, when you get it installed, goto the restricted drivers manager, enable the driver gor the card, it will give an error with a package you need to install | 03:07 |
| Lapinux | oh great, no one wished me luck, now im doomed | 03:07 |
| CoasterMaster | Ebiggs, check #wine | 03:07 |
| CoasterMaster | Unless it's something specific between Wine and Ubuntu | 03:07 |
| Schadenfreudist | meta4ical: log in as ro root (the second option if you hit esc when grug says) and edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with nano and remove the "quiet splash" parts from your boot parameters. this will help a bit. | 03:08 |
| davenull | apt-get, it will run and download firmware for it, done | 03:08 |
| Ebiggs | CoasterMaster: I think its just a wine issue, but maybe not. I installed steam and no text appears on the log in dialogs. | 03:08 |

| Jangari | you just load the .exe onto the ipod and use a command line installer, should be fine, their instructions are great | 03:18 |
| Jangari | there's also the #rockbox room on this server | 03:18 |
| ebuth | macd: It's already enabled. | 03:18 |
| ebuth | macd: I have no clue why my inline php isn't getting processed | 03:18 |
| macd | ebuth, is your browser trying to download the php? or just displaying it as text? | 03:18 |
| ant- | dmi3on, replace "program_installer" with the name of the actual program installer | 03:18 |
| domor | im tyring to install a driver to do so i have to be exit the xserver and any OpenGL applications, then i have to hange to the directory containing the downloaded file, and as the root user run the executable | 03:18 |

| keegan | go=do | 03:19 |
| davenull | are you on an 8 series card? | 03:19 |
| domor | nope | 03:19 |
| ant- | dmi3on, to use a windows program always type 'wine' in front of it | 03:19 |
| Jangari | also, fluffman, it's easily removable, it doesn't replace the retail OS, just runs prior to it. you can even hot-swap between OSs | 03:19 |
| domor | geforece 8500 gt | 03:19 |
| domor | is that 8 series | 03:20 |
| macd | ebuth, also what happens when you make a file test.php with phpinfo() in it? does it display anything? | 03:20 |
| davenull | yes, it is | 03:20 |

| dmi3on | ant- : its msi file, wine: could not load L"Z:\\home\\....... bad exe format for | 03:22 |
| Jangari | ah, the instructions tell you, but when you download, it includes a command line program that you run, and type -u (on windows, that is) for uninstall, and when you unplug the ipod it'll load the normal OS as per usual | 03:22 |
| domor | How do you run at root | 03:22 |
| domor | what is root | 03:22 |
| Jangari | and i think there's a function in rockbox to restart as retailOS | 03:22 |
| Jangari | domor, cd / | 03:23 |
| curry1973 | noob needs help | 03:23 |
| davenull | Jangari, if you hold left on the ipod when you reset it, it goes to the apple os | 03:23 |
| keegan | Jangari: thanks | 03:23 |
| Shadix | is there ant other good ubuntu chans? | 03:23 |
| curry1973 | can | 03:23 |
| Jangari | yes, thanks Dave123 | 03:23 |
| macd | ebuth, also check in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf and php5.load are both present, and the conf file has nothing commented out, also in apache2.conf add index.php to your DirectoryIndex directive | 03:23 |
| Jangari | davenull grr | 03:23 |
| domor | ica n;t install driver says "run at root" | 03:23 |
| curry1973 | cant get the applications menu to show applications | 03:23 |

| CyberCod | if you don't mind waiting while I look | 03:25 |
| squish102_ | ahh ok CyberCod, i was trying the one in the menus but it was not working | 03:25 |
| davenull | msi files might not work if they are too new | 03:26 |
| domor | how can i exit xsrerv but still be in the terminal | 03:26 |
| don_pucci | man..i screwed up my wireless connection :( | 03:26 |
| Jangari | shockwaver, thunderbird mail, lightning calendar (extension) with google calendar two-way extension, | 03:26 |
| don_pucci | i tried to insstall ipw2200 | 03:26 |

| CyberMad | please CMIIW | 03:26 |
| sethk | domor, you can change the init level | 03:26 |
| fenn | Question: I am trying to figure out if I can use a redhat 8.0 Wireless LAN driver with Feisty | 03:26 |
| domor | sethk: ? | 03:27 |
| curry1973 | mosibfu: hello...I have an issue where my applications menu does not display apps. | 03:27 |
| fenn | Hi Carbito | 03:27 |
| sethk | CyberMad, sounds like something in rc.local is hanging | 03:27 |
| mosibfu | curry1973: im not that good with gnome menu's, if some1 would know, they'd answer by now | 03:27 |
| fenn | Hello AfterDeath | 03:27 |
| shockwaver | Jangari: Thanks, I'll check it out | 03:27 |
| curry1973 | sad. | 03:27 |
| CyberCod | using the menu driven way, it should let you access the files, but not write to the ubuntu machine | 03:27 |
| AfterDeath | hi fenn | 03:27 |
| ant- | dmi3on, | 03:28 |
| domor | How can i just get to the command | 03:28 |
| curry1973 | thanks! | 03:28 |
| domor | no xserver running | 03:28 |
| sethk | domor, to run a terminal and not start the X server, you can use a lower init level, as in: telinit 1 | 03:28 |
| helfrez | has anyone here by any chance taken a lpi-3 course? | 03:28 |
| curry1973 | i wil see what i can find | 03:28 |
| squish102_ | CyberCod: thanks, i'll google around | 03:28 |
| helfrez | test rather | 03:28 |
| domor | sethk how do i do that | 03:28 |
| davenull | curry1973, right click on the menu, it'll open the menu config | 03:28 |
| fenn | Hello HymnToLife | 03:28 |
| ebuth | macd: should the DirectoryIndex directive exist by default? | 03:28 |
| CyberCod | squish it'll just be a moment, got lots of stuff bookmarked | 03:28 |
| don_pucci | anyone here have a ibm thinkpad | 03:28 |
| macd | ebuth, yes it should | 03:28 |
| squish102_ | thanks CyberCod | 03:28 |
| sethk | domor, control-alt-f1 to get to a terminal, log in as root, run the command telinit 1 (or, logged in normally, sudo telinit 1) | 03:28 |
| HymnToLife | hi fenn | 03:29 |
| macd | ebuth, something like: DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml | 03:29 |
| ebuth | macd: strange, it isn't there | 03:29 |
| CyberMad | damn.. this is my 1st installation of ubuntu-server | 03:29 |
| ant- | dmi3on. goto appdb.winehq.com and search for msi | 03:29 |
| CyberMad | why rc.local is hanging??? | 03:29 |
| CyberMad | :( | 03:29 |
| macd | ebuth, in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf right? | 03:29 |
| fenn | don_pucci - ibm thinkpads uaually work well with Linux | 03:29 |
| ebuth | macd: yes sir | 03:29 |
| CyberMad | i install standard server system with: SAMBA + LAMP + OpenSSH | 03:29 |
| macd | ebuth, couldn't hurt to add it, and restart apache2 | 03:29 |
| fenn | any lancard experts here? | 03:29 |
| CyberMad | how to fix if the /etc/rc.local hanging? | 03:30 |
| ebuth | macd: my thoughts exactly | 03:30 |
| domor | sethk is there anyway i can boot back into xserver fromcommand | 03:30 |
| CyberCod | squish102_: there you go that should do it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605&highlight=howto+samba | 03:30 |
| ebuth | macd: hey, so if phpinfo() works, then my php is working? | 03:30 |
| sethk | domor, yes, you can reverse the same process, and run: telinit 3 | 03:30 |
| sn00zer | domor: startx | 03:30 |
| domor | sethk, wihtout having to resatr my whole computer | 03:30 |
| fenn | ebuth - yup | 03:30 |
| Jangari | shockwaver, it relies on google calendar though, you have to set one up online, then thunderbird with the necessary extensions will allow you to read and write to the google calendars, when normally you can only read them | 03:30 |
| macd | CyberCod, goto a new terminal <crtl>+<alt>+<f#> and go look at /etc/rc.local | 03:30 |
| macd | ebuth, that is correct | 03:30 |
| sethk | domor, there are several ways; you rarely have to restart any *nix | 03:30 |
| squish102_ | thanks CyberCod | 03:30 |
| Jangari | i don't know if there are other better online calendar providors | 03:31 |
| Shadix | which Barry package should I down load....I have an AMD 3500+ and the 64bit ubuntu http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153722&package_id=170564&release_id=546292 | 03:31 |
| Jangari | but probably, to be honest | 03:31 |
| CyberCod | macd, huh? | 03:31 |
| ebuth | macd: why the heck is that working, but my inline php isn't? (e.g. echo 'hello';) | 03:31 |
| CyberMad | macd just a second | 03:31 |
| AlanBShepard70 | Does ubuntu have an easy way to get a list of all the files on a cd and save the list of file names and paths? | 03:31 |
| macd | ebuth, I assume you have <php? blah blah ?> | 03:31 |
| macd | the corerct tags? | 03:31 |
| usr13 | AlanBShepard70: ls | 03:31 |
| ebuth | macd: yep | 03:32 |
| HymnToLife | AlanBShepard70, ls -lr /mnt/cdrom | 03:32 |
| fenn | can ubuntu use redhad NIC drivers? | 03:32 |
| sethk | AlanBShepard70, you can get the listing of a tree and all subtrees with: find /cdrom assuming it's on /cdrom | 03:32 |
| CyberCod | AlanBShepard70: probably something like ls /media/cdrom > output.txt | 03:32 |
| davenull | fenn, most likely not | 03:32 |
| HymnToLife | fenn, yes and no | 03:32 |
| macd | fenn, linux device drivers are typically all kernel modules, so as long as they are for the same kernel, sure. | 03:32 |
| sethk | AlanBShepard70, ls (by itself, with a recursive flag) only lists the current directory | 03:32 |
| ebuth | macd: http://rafb.net/p/CHge7D70.html | 03:32 |
| CyberMad | macd there are some lines.. but there is # (commented), and there is exit 0 (not commented) | 03:32 |
| HymnToLife | yes if you recompile them agains your Ubuntu kernel (if the kernel version is compatible | 03:32 |
| HymnToLife | no otherwise | 03:32 |
| usr13 | AlanBShepard70: See: man ls | 03:33 |
| macd | CyberCod, gotcha, by chance if you just hit enter on your console that it boots to, does a login prompt appear? | 03:33 |
| CyberMad | the commented lines: #!/bin/sh -e # rc.local | 03:33 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, I now have a completely fresh install of Gutsy, what's next? | 03:33 |
| AlanBShepard70 | OK thanks guys Ill try it out | 03:33 |
| bruenig | #!/bin/sh -e is not commented, tis the shebang | 03:33 |
| Shadix | I can't believe that RIM hasn't a Linux package | 03:33 |
| RandomUsr | anyone know where to find a hosts list in gutsy? | 03:33 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, good speed | 03:33 |
| fenn | macd - makers web site said REDHAT 8.0 - I guess I could poke around google for kernel version | 03:33 |
| CyberMad | macd lol! that works.. i just hit enter | 03:33 |
| josiahw | anybody messed around with the AppleTV yet? | 03:33 |

| usr13 | RandomUsr: What do you mean? | 03:34 |
| macd | fenn, better yet, what are you needing a driver for? | 03:34 |
| CyberCod | macd: please type CyberM before hitting tab ;) | 03:34 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, I have a icon in the notification area saying that restricted drivers are available, should I go with that? | 03:34 |
| macd | I didnt even know yall were different ;) sorry | 03:34 |
| CyberCod | you're confusing the heck outta me | 03:34 |

| usr13 | RandomUsr: You are running dhcpd? And you want to see what other computers are connceted to your LAN? Is that correct? | 03:36 |
| macd | ebuth, somethings up with inline php then, thats really odd to me | 03:36 |
| arch3angel | i am trying to remove google desktop from the startup and add kwikdisk | 03:36 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, click on the driver check box in restricted manager first | 03:36 |
| Drake | I have an issue running a game using wine.... | 03:36 |
| fenn | Macd: Thx... I might have to burn a new ISO (where did you look that up?) | 03:37 |
| buttercups | arch3angel, System>Preferences>Sessions | 03:37 |
| macd | Dragnslcr, you can try here, but I think it better in #wine | 03:37 |
| josiahw | Drake: Whats the issue? | 03:37 |
| arch3angel | thx brb | 03:37 |
| macd | fenn, there are some forums posts with people saying it worked for them | 03:37 |
| RandomUsr | usr13, no i´m using a router for dhcp but I don´t have a dns server to map beyound the router | 03:37 |
| demon_spork | I just lost an NTFS partition by accidentaly corrupting the partition table. What can I use to restore the original partitioning??? | 03:37 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, enable firmware? I have done all this before, but didn't have any luck so I am asking all kinds of questions this time | 03:38 |
| Drake | i get an error saying a security module can not be activated.... | 03:38 |
| Jangari | what does the switch -r do on ls command? | 03:38 |
| RandomUsr | usr13 I have a couple switches and need to map host names manually | 03:38 |
| CyberCod | well, I guess there is no easy shortcut to using "make" :( guess I'll just have to study some more | 03:38 |
| Jangari | recursive?\ | 03:38 |
| Drake | the game is neverwinter nights | 03:38 |
| CyberMad | macd how do i install the x window (like gnome), looks like by default ubuntu-server not install it.. | 03:38 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, did an error pop up? | 03:38 |
| amidaniel | demon_spork: There's a utility called ntfsfix or ntfsrestore or the like; I forget exactly what it's called. Try google | 03:38 |
| fenn | macd: v cool - I could try and reinstall from CD - for some reason I thought it would be easier with OS installed | 03:38 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: Well, not sure what you are trying to do, but if you had dhcpd running, I think you could do: cat /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info | 03:38 |
| shadowh511 | i'm having trouble with gusty ans synaptic | 03:38 |
| shadowh511 | and | 03:38 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, nope, it says it is downloading the package files | 03:38 |
| CyberCod | demon_spork: what happened exactly? | 03:38 |
| shockwaver | Jangari: The ls -r switch is 'reverse'.. it reverse the order that the files are listed. -R is recursive | 03:38 |
| bryan_w | demon_spork: if all else fails, fdisk | 03:38 |
| Jangari | ah, thanks | 03:39 |
| macd | CyberMad, 'sudo apt-get install gdm' or use the ubuntu-desktop meta package | 03:39 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: You could do a broadcast ping. | 03:39 |
| nrencoret | hi I have a problem with my notebook not coming out of suspend with gutsy when i turn it back on i only get a blank screen | 03:39 |
| Jangari | so ls -lR will return a full file tree | 03:39 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, claims "successfully applied all changes." | 03:39 |
| shockwaver | Jangari: ls --help is a good thing to check out | 03:39 |
| RandomUsr | usr13 would that map the hosts then? | 03:39 |
| josiahw | Drake: did you follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113259 | 03:39 |
| shockwaver | Jangari: It will return the recursive in list form, yes | 03:39 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: e.g. ping -b 192.168.1.0 | 03:39 |
| Jangari | yeah, i'm on a windows machine atm | 03:39 |
| buttercups | nrencoret, ati card? | 03:39 |
| nrencoret | nope nvidia... | 03:39 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: I don't know what "map the hosts" is. | 03:39 |
| macd | CyberCod, if you intend to use it as a desktop also, you should install ubuntu-desktop, if you just want to manage it via a desktop then install just gnome | 03:39 |
| demon_spork | CyberCod, I used the windows recovery console and I tried to rewrite the MBR to ...\Partition1, which was my ubuntu partition | 03:39 |
| Jangari | why bother reversing the list? | 03:39 |
| macd | CyberMad, * | 03:40 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, try running sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter as root from terminal | 03:40 |
| RandomUsr | usr13, do you know what dns is? | 03:40 |
| CyberMad | macd what's that? only * | 03:40 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: Yes | 03:40 |
| CyberMad | hehe | 03:40 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, o.k. when I close that box I get a "specify firmware location" box | 03:40 |
| shockwaver | I'm sure there is a use for it. but -R for recursive is pretty standard for switching .. rm -R, etc | 03:40 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: what does DNS have to do with hosts? | 03:40 |
| RandomUsr | usr13, how do I accomplish that without a dns server? | 03:40 |
| nrencoret | buttercups: nope, nvidia, its and Alienware m5500 or Uniwill model P53IN | 03:40 |
| shadowh511 | !HELP! | 03:40 |

| CarlFK | how do I blow away my keyring, cuz after I reinstalled my keyring pw doesn't work | 03:41 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: Not sure what you are trying to do. If you could explain a little better.... | 03:41 |
| Cpudan80 | xracer_: Did you restart X after you did it? | 03:41 |
| domor | how do i "exit the X server and terminate all OpenGL applications" | 03:41 |
| xracer_ | yes | 03:41 |
| Cpudan80 | domor: CTRL+ALT+BCKSPC | 03:41 |
| CarlFK | I only had one or 2 pw's on it, so dont care about them. just need to be able to add to it | 03:42 |
| RandomUsr | usr13, I want to reach nodes by their host name and NOT by their IP address | 03:42 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, it does, just asking about everything like I said. BTW, firmware cutter 006 with a lot of other feedback below it in the cli | 03:42 |
| CyberCod | demon_spork: a couple disks might make it workable for you... try the Ultimate Boot CD, or the gparted live disk | 03:42 |
| CyberCod | they're both small iso's | 03:42 |
| excalibas | hello, can someone help me to setup my s-video out, i have an ati igp 240m, or just point me to somewere usefull please | 03:42 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: Oh I see. | 03:42 |
| Telstar | Hmmm, my sound card seems to be installed but it only makes White Noise ! | 03:42 |
| domor | ust retarted | 03:42 |
| usr13 | You can enter them in the hosts file. | 03:42 |
| Drake | on the how to it doesnt say what to add http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113259 (step 1 | 03:42 |
| domor | restarted it | 03:42 |
| excalibas | thats 340m | 03:42 |
| RandomUsr | usr13, but where is that? | 03:42 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, downloaded, now what? | 03:42 |
| kaiijez | so yeah.. can anybody help me out with opening a .rar folder? or how to get a software to burn a cd onto linux? | 03:42 |
| usr13 | Same way it is with MS windows | 03:42 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: /etc/hosts | 03:43 |
| domor | how do i "exit the X server and terminate all OpenGL applications" so i can type a command to install a driver | 03:43 |
| demon_spork | CyberCod, I need to recover the ntfs partition itself, it is still listed as a partition in gparted but is unkown type and is unaccessible | 03:43 |
| RandomUsr | usr13, thanks , im gonna look | 03:43 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: For each machine that you want to access them from. | 03:43 |
| macd | domor, by pressing crtl+alt+backspace you already did. | 03:43 |
| domor | macd that just restarted it | 03:43 |
| theron_ | help me | 03:43 |
| domor | i want to be ale to type commands | 03:43 |
| macd | domor, then open a console. | 03:43 |
| shadowh511 | open terminal | 03:43 |
| domor | macd: how? | 03:43 |
| shockwaver | kaiijez: from the command line, you need to install unrar (sudo apt-get install unrar should do it), then you can just 'unrar filename.rar'. Also, once you install unrar, I believe the archive manager can handle them if you double click the file in a file browser | 03:43 |
| fenn | domor: you can switch to text mode then kill the X server | 03:44 |
| RandomUsr | usr13, host.conf? | 03:44 |
| macd | domor, Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal | 03:44 |
| kjp2 | is there a way to find a list of standard install ubuntu packages ? | 03:44 |
| jcg | I have Dual Monitors set up with Xinerama and everything works except that Compiz is disabled and I can't turn it back on. | 03:44 |
| domor | macd: now what | 03:44 |
| Shadix | how do i login as root? | 03:44 |
| CyberCod | demon_spork: kk.... then chances are you need to manually edit the partition table and change the entry for that to the number that corresponds with ntfs... this happened to me once before, but I ended up fixing it with a utility that came with Partition Magic in windows... I don't know how to fix it via Linux, sorry | 03:44 |
| CoasterMaster | Shadix, you don't | 03:44 |
| domor | fenn: how | 03:44 |
| demon_spork | jcg, what graphics card do you have | 03:44 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: Just make an entry like: 192.168.1.5 linux.pinappe.hp | 03:44 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: /etc/hosts | 03:44 |
| Jangari | can compiz handle multiple vertical workspaces? | 03:44 |
| CoasterMaster | Shadix, if you want to run commands as root, use sudo | 03:44 |
| Peddy | Shadix: Boot into safe mode and login as root, and then type init 3 | 03:44 |
| Peddy | Shadix: Not recommended though | 03:44 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: Just make an entry like: 192.168.1.5 linux.pinappe.hp linux | 03:45 |
| Jangari | 6 workspaces rendered all over a cube would be very cool | 03:45 |
| demon_spork | CyberCod, it has happened to me before, but I can't remember the utility I used in linux to fix it | 03:45 |
| theron_ | :-< | 03:45 |
| CyberCod | demon_spork: the linux command "dd" may hold the answer for you, but its really really dangerous to use | 03:45 |
| RandomUsr | usr13 there are four host.* files | 03:45 |
| theron_ | need help with resolution, ATI 9200 card gutsy | 03:45 |

| domor | ok how do i log into a terminal when in tet mode | 03:46 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, that should do it, click on the network icon in the sys tray | 03:46 |
| jcg | demon_spork, Nvidia GeForce Go 6100 | 03:46 |
| fenn | domor: ALT-F1 | 03:46 |
| macd | domor, it will present you with a login prompt, if not your already logged in | 03:46 |
| demon_spork | jcg, have you considered using nvidia twinview rather than xinerama? | 03:46 |
| domor | ok | 03:46 |
| CyberCod | later people... gotta sleep | 03:46 |
| RandomUsr | usr13 I think I figured out that part | 03:46 |
| nrencoret | hi, I have problems with my notebook coming out of suspend, the screen simply doesn't start so i have no indication of what is going on | 03:46 |
| Peddy | Anybody having trouble with Pidgin in Gutsy? | 03:46 |
| RandomUsr | usr13, what´s the hosts.conf file? | 03:46 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, I do that, but there is nothing under Wireless networks. Is my entire problem that I don't know how to connect to my open ap? | 03:46 |
| Shadix | CoasterMaster: do you know anything about installing Barry? | 03:46 |
| fenn | macd, you are way ahead of me. | 03:46 |
| Jangari | what sort of trouble, Peddy? | 03:47 |
| jcg | demon_spork, Does it do the same thing a Xinerama? | 03:47 |
| macd | Peddy, sometimes I notice it hogs cpu and seems to be locked up | 03:47 |
| Drake | what APT line do you have to add for neverwinter nights Diamond? | 03:47 |
| demon_spork | jcg, yes | 03:47 |
| fenn | domor, listen to macd | 03:47 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, restart it | 03:47 |
| Peddy | nrencoret: Check that the BIOS suspend is set to S3 | 03:47 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, the machine? | 03:47 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: host.conf - resolver configuration file | 03:47 |

| demon_spork | jcg, press alt+f2 and type "gksudo nvidia-settings" | 03:47 |
| shadowh511 | synaptic is working improperly | 03:47 |
| Peddy | Jangari: Can't send IMs, no send button | 03:47 |
| domor | how do i selectr text mode after loggin out | 03:47 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, letting it pull the updates right now, will be about another 10 minutes | 03:47 |
| nrencoret | hmmm should be but I'll check...brb | 03:47 |
| Jangari | hmm | 03:48 |
| excalibas | Hello, can someone help me to setup my s-video out? I have an ati igp 340m, or just point me to somewhere useful please | 03:48 |
| jpastore | does anyone know what is actually executing when you tap the power button on a laptop to bring up the dialog to choose shutdown, restart etc...I'm getting a policy timeout error when I tap that button and also when I close and reopen the laptop. I think it's a permissions issue but I don't know what needs to change or what to change it to | 03:48 |
| jcg | demon_spork, ok | 03:48 |
| Jangari | which protocol? | 03:48 |
| Peddy | Jangari: MSN and Google Talk | 03:48 |
| macd | domor, man for the 3rd time, write it down or something, click on session then select text. | 03:48 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: See: man host.conf | 03:48 |
| Peddy | Jangari: I have purged and reinstalled several times | 03:48 |
| domor | do you hafter logout of your user though | 03:48 |
| Jangari | no, which protocol are you using within pidgin/. | 03:48 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: ... for more info.. | 03:48 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, kk , let me know when you are down and up again | 03:48 |
| Peddy | Jangari: The problem is not with the protocols | 03:48 |
| Peddy | Jangari: what do you mean | 03:48 |
| Jangari | msn, aim, icq, jabber | 03:49 |
| domor | macd: do you have to like logout of your user | 03:49 |
| Peddy | Jangari: MSN and Jabber | 03:49 |
| Peddy | I said before | 03:49 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, if thats a no go, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Gutsy | 03:49 |
| Jangari | oh, sorry, missed it | 03:49 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, impatient, cancelled the updates, it can do those while I am asleep | 03:49 |
| macd | domor, logout, then at the login screen, click session, select text, then login. | 03:49 |
| Peddy | Jangari: I gtg, :( cya | 03:49 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, coming back up now. | 03:49 |

| Drake | does anyone know if Gutsy I386 is linux x86 or linux x86_64? | 03:49 |
| kev51773 | Hi all, Ive just done a fresh install of Gutsy on my Acer Aspire 7720 (965 X3100) and the brightness is really low, any tips? | 03:49 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, good man, damn the updates | 03:50 |

| shadowh511 | i8 need help with synaptic, it won't install updates | 03:50 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: What is a lot more control than you were looking for? | 03:50 |
| Jangari | drake, there should be i386 and i386_64 | 03:50 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, for now anyway | 03:50 |
| excalibas | Hello, can someone help me to setup my s-video out? I have an ati igp 340m, or just point me to somewhere useful please | 03:50 |

| kjp2 | is there a way to restore the packages I accidently uninstalled? thus restoring my machine to a just-installed fiesty machine ? | 03:50 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, lol | 03:50 |
| Cpudan80 | Drake: I386 is x86 | 03:50 |
| Drake | kool.. thanx | 03:50 |
| RandomUsr | that host.conf seems very useful | 03:50 |
| RandomUsr | usr13 | 03:50 |
| Jangari | shadix, applications > add applications, then search for whatever you want | 03:50 |
| shadowh511 | i need help! | 03:50 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, o.k. I am logged in | 03:51 |
| davenull | cool, try the net manager again | 03:51 |

| Jangari | what program are you trying to install?\ | 03:52 |
| Shadix | Barry | 03:52 |
| Jangari | what even is barry? | 03:52 |
| usr13 | if you make the sample entry I gave you, then ping linux would give same results as ping 192.168.1.5 | 03:52 |
| drizzt69 | i'm trying to open a port can someone help me ? | 03:52 |
| macd | omar, you should look into X over SSH, xvnc, or xdcmp | 03:52 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, Wired network, Wireless networks (with none listed) Connect to other Wireless Networks, Create New Wireless Network, Manual Configuration...The blue wifi hardware light did automatically come on on the keyboard this time | 03:52 |

| domor | that but it still says im running x server | 03:52 |
| jpastore | on their system | 03:52 |

| shadowh511 | help me with gusty synaptic plz, its not working normally | 03:52 |
| Shadix | it's for blackberry sync | 03:52 |
| kev51773 | anyone have any idea where to adjust the brightness in gutsy? Its barely visible. | 03:52 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: In other words, linux would resolv to IP 192.168.1.5 | 03:52 |
| Jangari | oh, | 03:53 |
| jpastore | kev51773, try system preferences | 03:53 |
| omar | i am doing ssh -X | 03:53 |
| Jangari | you might have to do some googling to find a suitable linux version | 03:53 |
| RandomUsr | usr13 I know thanks for your help sir | 03:53 |
| omar | to connect to the machine | 03:53 |
| omar | i get connected but it says | 03:53 |
| omar | /usr/bin/xauth: /home/omar/.Xauthority not writable, changes will be ignored | 03:53 |
| astro76 | domor, to shut down the X server from the text console: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop | 03:53 |
| Shadix | well I just need to update my sources.list but I don't have permissions | 03:53 |
| shadowh511 | !synaptic | 03:53 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, connect to other wirless networks | 03:53 |
| ubotu | synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 03:53 |
| shadowh511 | !synaptic not working | 03:53 |

| drizzt69 | how do i open nat firewall ports ? | 03:53 |
| domor | astro76: cheer ill be back if i can;t do it | 03:54 |
| usr13 | RandomUsr: Ok, just wasn't sure you understood, it's the same way it works in MS Windows, (adding entries in the c:\hosts file). | 03:54 |
| Jimmi_jones | davenull, then give it the name of my network? default---I know, I know, but I live in the country | 03:54 |
| axisys | I see tons of ` -- MARK --' in messages file.. who generates this? is it possible to disable it w/o hurting anything? | 03:54 |
| kev51773 | The only brightness I see in system>preferences is in power management, and that doesnt seem to do anything | 03:54 |
| macd | omar, then you should check the permissions on that file, and verify them writeable by chmod u+w /home/omar/.Xauthority | 03:54 |
| davenull | Jimmi_Jones, lol, but yeah, that should do it | 03:54 |
| fareast | I have a question regarding wine and the installation of a setup executable | 03:54 |
| RandomUsr | usr13 No I understood completely and that´s exactly what I was looking for | 03:54 |
| Telstar | Can someone give me an idea why my soundcard would only make WHite Noise ? | 03:54 |
| omar | so | 03:54 |

| ubotu | Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail. | 03:59 |

| astro76 | drizzt69, since you said you have a router, you have to forward a port on your router through to each machine you want to run bittorrent on, and assuming azureus uses the same default port on each installation, you would have to change azureus settings on each machine to be a different port, and forward each on your router | 04:02 |

| don_pucci | how do i edit kernel config options? | 04:11 |
| astro76 | drizzt69, since you said you have a router, you have to forward a port on your router through to each machine you want to run bittorrent on, and assuming azureus uses the same default port on each installation, you would have to change azureus settings on each machine to be a different port, and forward each on your router | 04:11 |

| Poz | linux isnt recognizing any cds i hope my cd rom isnt gone | 04:14 |
| macd | astro76, he needs to know that ;) | 04:14 |

| CyberMad | actually i already install tightvnc on all computers that use Windows OS in office, TightVNC have 2 password type.. 1st: can do full control and 2nd: just viewer. Does VNC on ubuntu support it? | 04:15 |

| nrencore1 | help, my notebook doesn't come out of suspend, i get a flash the screen then it blanks out | 04:16 |
| CyberMad | astro76 does it support 2 different password, the 1st one for full controll and the 2nd is for viewer only ? | 04:16 |
| fenn | domor, macd tried ... sounds like you should try the UBUNTU drivers instead of the generic ones. | 04:16 |
| domor | macd: so i can boot into xerver | 04:16 |
| astro76 | benzs_s, not aware of any, but since passworded archive formats are worthless I wouldn't recommend it, if you need security encrypt with gpg | 04:17 |
| drizzt69 | jpastore, its a 2wire for dsl | 04:17 |

| nephlim | is there something that i'm missing with the "connect to server tool" ? | 04:17 |
| Kamandag | >> why my firefox keeps closing when i click some links? breezy/ff | 04:18 |

| Pir8 | Everytime I open a new window or application it always opens up behind the top panel, rendering me incapable of being able to move the window down into the middle. Anyone come across this type of situation before? | 04:18 |
| jpastore | drizzt69, not familar with that brand....if ti was linksys, dlink or netgear I could have walked you through it =) try this: open a terminal and type "route -n" you should have 1 entry that has a an ip otehr than 0.0.0.0 ... probably 192.168.1.1 ...put that address into a browser... | 04:18 |

| domor | BYE BYE MIGHT OCME BACK LATER AND TRY FIX IT | 04:18 |
| demon_spork | Pir8, hold the alt key and click on the window and try to grab it | 04:18 |
| CyberMad | astro76 but you know, what i mean, right? do you ever use tightvnc on windows? | 04:18 |
| jpastore | drizzt69, likely you'll need a username and password...if it was never set try admin / admin | 04:18 |
| geck1 | does anyone know if there is a good program for ubuntu which enables a middle click function similar to that of mac's, (where you middle click, and all the open windows separate so you can see them all, and select which one you want from there?) | 04:19 |
| CyberMad | we can set 2 password there | 04:19 |

| jpastore | drizzt69, from there you'll say forward port 8000 to port 8000 on your internal ip assigned to your computer | 04:20 |
| astro76 | CyberMad, that's a feature of the tightvnc server, the gnome server only has one password, and you set whether it's view or full control | 04:20 |
| demon_spork | Pir8, are you using compiz-fusion? | 04:20 |
| Pir8 | demon_spork, aye. | 04:20 |

| shockwaver | Barry is a BlackBerry interface/backup program.. apparently | 04:35 |
| DerangedDingo | LancerDragoon: is ccsm the name of the package as well? | 04:36 |
| LancerDragoon | it should be, i take it you're on gutsy? | 04:36 |
| noob69 | should the owner be root and have a group access | 04:36 |
| Shadix | shockwaver, well to be honest I find them too confuseing | 04:36 |
| DerangedDingo | LancerDragoon: i think not! or, at least apt-cache search can't find anything. i'm running feisty either way. Kingmilo should be running Gutsy though | 04:36 |
| shockwaver | Most of it is just fluff that explains what is going on, but if you download the source, just enter the commands in the different formatted text | 04:37 |
| noob69 | or should i create a user design for web pages and have that own that directory | 04:37 |
| Kingmilo | DerangedDingo: thats correct, apt-get cannot find ccsm | 04:37 |
| cw | hai | 04:37 |
| shockwaver | ./configure --with-boost=/usr --enable-gui --enable-opensync-plugin - etc etc | 04:37 |
| masterloki | where can I find the sources.list file I have put in sudo gedit /ect/apt/sources.list and it show me a blank page. | 04:37 |
| Shadix | shockwaver: i've got the file extracted but I don't know where to go from there | 04:37 |
| Shadix | what is CSV | 04:37 |
| Varka | masterloki: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:37 |
| DerangedDingo | Kingmilo: it must just be the command required to run the program. | 04:37 |
| DerangedDingo | Shadix: CSV or CVS? | 04:38 |
| LancerDragoon | @Kingmilo: which release are you using? if you're using feisty, you will have to get ccsm from either a third-party repo, or compiling it from scratch | 04:38 |
| shockwaver | go in to the directory you extracted it to Shadix, then follow the instructions under Building Barry | 04:38 |
| Shadix | yah that lol | 04:38 |
| masterloki | cool thanks varka | 04:38 |
| shockwaver | Enter those four commands it lists there | 04:38 |
| LancerDragoon | @Kingmilo: if you're using gutsy, as far as I know, it should be in apt, but then I don't use gutsy, so I'm not quite sure. | 04:38 |
| DerangedDingo | Shadix: CVS is like SVN. It's a way for developers to update source code for users to download | 04:38 |
| Shadix | ah ok | 04:39 |
| shockwaver | ignore the part about starting from CVS | 04:39 |
| Kingmilo | I am using gutsy.. . and i tried running from the comamnd line, cant find that command | 04:39 |

| hubbabubba | mynameisURL: connect ircnet and type /query _pete_ he is a kubuntu expert... | 04:49 |
| astro76 | MyNameIsURL, that question wasn't to you... it's as simple as sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree (or use synaptic) | 04:50 |
| shockwaver | As in, when you open the archive manager and see all the files, drag and drop them in to a place, like make a folder on your Desktop and drag them in to that | 04:50 |
| MyNameIsURL | one would expect... | 04:50 |
| astro76 | MyNameIsURL, also you probably want to check out #kubuntu here on freenode | 04:50 |
| MyNameIsURL | um astro do you think I haven't tried that? | 04:50 |
| astro76 | MyNameIsURL, yes, the majority of people that come here and ask have tried to download it from adobe | 04:51 |

| moyer | apparently in ubuntu there is an option in "Network Manager" that allows you to create new wireless network.. what does that mean? | 05:11 |

| moyer | i set up my wireless network previously with the router.. why would i need to create a new network | 05:12 |

| Excelsior | Can anyone assist me with this cursed wireless? For some reason, ever since I installed Gutsy, my wifi card (TEW-421PC B1) refuses to work with Kubuntu, or vice a versa. Now don't get me wrong- my card worked perfectly in Edgy and Feisty, and I have the latest ndiswrapper-commons and utils packages as well as the driver installed. Under KNetworkManager, it says "No active devices" and I can't even locate wlan0 as an interface. | 05:17 |
| astro76 | ScX_Tyler, no you need a bootloader, what is the other os? | 05:17 |
| MidnighToker | ScX_Tyler: grub is your bootloader, you cannot just bypass it | 05:17 |

| modu | Hi, after suspending my laptop my smb-mount doesnt work, if I do 'umount /media/upload' I just get 'umount: /media/upload: device is busy', same thing if I use the force-flag. I have also grpped ps aux and lsof after 'upload' and nothing there to kill, any ideas? | 05:19 |
| MidnighToker | LancerDragoon: yeah, its true, gentoo bunny at heart, but started dumping my users onto ubuntu instead of Windaz, so i've started hanging out here... its scary | 05:19 |
| rubydiamond | astro76, I have installed apache in usr/local downloading and compiling | 05:20 |
| rubydiamond | now How can I setup phpmyadmin in it | 05:20 |
| LancerDragoon | MidnighToker: Never tried Gentoo myself, but CLI's the real meat in Linux. | 05:20 |
| shockwaver | rubydiamond: For something that is local, there is mysql-admin and mysql-client, both pretty good | 05:20 |
| Shadix | shockwaver: done that but now how to i start the app or where do I enter the commandline tools | 05:20 |
| astro76 | rubydiamond, you can install both through Ubuntu's package manager, otherwise you might want to ask in #apache | 05:20 |
| MidnighToker | LancerDragoon: you'd like it, the installer is a liveCD and all the docs you need to do a cli install.... like a scripted LFS | 05:20 |
| rubydiamond | shockwaver, mysql-admin is GUI version? | 05:20 |
| modu | somehow I solved it myself... | 05:21 |
| shockwaver | rubydiamond: Yeah | 05:21 |
| LancerDragoon | MidnighToker: Neat, I should give that a try, seeing as CS is my major lol. | 05:21 |
| MidnighToker | CS? | 05:21 |
| shockwaver | rubydiamond: Actually, sorry.. mysql-client I don't think is gui.. you want mysql-query-browser | 05:21 |

| LancerDragoon | usser: that too lol | 05:22 |
| dolphin_noel | usser> this is windows is anti freddoom | 05:22 |
| BigDaddy | OK, lets try that again. Can someone say my name to see if I got it right yet? | 05:22 |
| MidnighToker | LancerDragoon: deffo. Linux from Scratch is a crazy distro... well, its a book and thats it, but gentoo teaches you meat and lets you play CLI. -say hi if you get as far as #gentoo | 05:22 |
| shockwaver | rubydiamond: phpMyAdmin is a good tool as well, but I prefer the other two. Better designed for usability IMHO | 05:22 |
| DanaG | Hit alt-f3, enter 'pidg', it wants to Yahoo Search for it. | 05:22 |
| shockwaver | Less config work too if you don't have apache up and running | 05:22 |

| MidnighToker | BigDaddy: does it not highlight this line i send you? | 05:25 |
| astro76 | BigDaddy, the tray icon and taskbar button should blink, I doubt it does a balloon or anything | 05:25 |
| Shadix | er the command line tools commands | 05:25 |
| ScX_Tyler | What is Error 17 in GRUB? | 05:25 |
| MidnighToker | astro76: BigDaddy the try icon should only blink if hte window is NOT active | 05:26 |
| BigDaddy | MidnighToker: yeah, it is red text, but no blinking X icon or balloon notification | 05:26 |
| DanaG | Okay, if I want to switch to having multiple partitions, how do I do it neatly? | 05:26 |
| astro76 | MidnighToker, ah right | 05:26 |
| BigDaddy | MidnighToker: ooh... did not know that | 05:26 |
| DanaG | And how should I split the 60 GB I'll be giving it? | 05:26 |
| BigDaddy | the balloon notification might be the same then. | 05:26 |
| Lapinux | oh my god i hate grub, one error after another | 05:26 |
| chronographer | Hello. I use cron to start my bittorrent program at midnight. Recently it stopped working, i use DISPLAY:0.0 to get the prog on the desktop. I found that using xhost + fixes this, but not after a reboot, how can I set this to fix permanently? | 05:27 |
| shockwaver | Shadix: Sorry, I've got to go. What I recommend is running all four of those commands: ./configure --with-boost=/usr --enable-gui --enable-opensync-plugin and make and sudo making install and cd src && doxygen - copy the entire messages you get, and post them of the forum if things don't work | 05:27 |
| MidnighToker | astro76: BigDaddy it cancels the "alarm" when the window becomes active again, if the window is always active.... :) | 05:27 |
| DanaG | I'll just go with one big partition, for now. | 05:28 |
| BigDaddy | bwa-ha-ha! Success... | 05:28 |
| MidnighToker | chronographer: would cron not be running with the wrong user writes?> | 05:28 |
| astro76 | chronographer, you can add the command to System > Admin > Sessions | 05:28 |
| DanaG | I don't want to spend time pondering how to break up the space, and then finding it to be wrong later. | 05:28 |
| BigDaddy | MidnighToker: you were right. I just needed to focus another window | 05:28 |
| LancerDragoon | MidnighToker: I'm wondering if xchat has any sort of sound notification | 05:28 |

| DanaG | It broke all my permissions on my ntfs drive. | 05:29 |
| astro76 | LancerDragoon, it does, are you using xchat, and not xchat-gnome? | 05:29 |

| LancerDragoon | MidnighToker: Will check, thanks, guys. | 05:29 |
| MidnighToker | LancerDragoon: well, gnome front end with some wierd ubuntu jazz smegged on the top of it ;) | 05:29 |

| Ratman | ok, I know it's personal preference but which is most popular? | 05:37 |
| BigDaddy | VJain8905: The operating system is not a graphical entitiy like it is in Windows. Explorer.exe gives you your shell, file manager, and startmenu, taskbar, systemtray... | 05:37 |
| usser | AlanBShepard70: probably by using find command | 05:37 |

| VJain8905 | i'm following you so far | 05:37 |
| LancerDragoon | VJain8905: So we have all these other desktop environments to cater to those who need/want a GUI. | 05:37 |

| MidnighToker | Ratman: linux doesn't get virus's in the windows sense | 05:38 |
| chronographer | search www.thepiratebay.org for XP Ultimate its good (for windoze) | 05:38 |
| relapse | hi | 05:38 |
| MidnighToker | Ratman: the entire OS runs differently | 05:38 |
| Jausk | drizzt69, WinXP???? No!! | 05:38 |
| * usser drizzt69 sound suspiciously like RIAA agent | 05:38 | |
| VJain8905 | I'll stick w/ Ubuntu for about a week and go from there. Any programs other than Wine I should get to begin with? | 05:38 |
| astro76 | !piracy | drizzt69 chronographer | 05:38 |
| chronographer | its got SP3 too | 05:38 |
| ubotu | drizzt69 chronographer: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 05:38 |
| BigDaddy | VJain8905: A simple analogy would be an alternate shell in Windows to the Linux DE. Not necessarily an accurate one, but you might grasp that idea easily | 05:38 |
| chronographer | oops | 05:38 |
| Peddy | Say no to warez | 05:39 |
| Jausk | I can do md5 to a folder or md5 only works with the files? | 05:39 |
| DanaG | Don't use a strange modded XP. I've seen it on sombody else's computer, and he was asking me about some brokenness in it. | 05:39 |
| relapse | for some reason, today when i went to turn off my laptop, the shutdown and restart icons are missing, all i get are "switch user, log off, suspend, and hibernate" | 05:39 |
| relapse | any ideas? | 05:39 |
| Ratman | hmmm, I know they are different but still don't quite understand... but If I wanted one to make sure it would be clamav? | 05:39 |
| DanaG | I told him the best thing to do would be to BUY it (from msdnaa.) | 05:39 |
| drizzt69 | what was that all about ? | 05:39 |
| BigDaddy | VJain8905: a week? how new are you to Linux? | 05:39 |
| Peddy | Relapse: Happened to me before, have you been playing with Xauthority? | 05:40 |
| relapse | no Peddy i installed blubuntu theme | 05:40 |
| relapse | thats all | 05:40 |
| === narg_ is now known as narg | ||
| VJain8905 | very new, but I'm giving myself a week to get a feel for the DE, I'll fiddle around to find the DE i like best | 05:40 |
| LancerDragoon | VJain8905: Exaile, please go play with Exaile. | 05:40 |
| astro76 | drizzt69, you do understand it's illegal to copy copyrighted software? | 05:40 |
| usuario | ola | 05:40 |
| Peddy | Peddy test | 05:40 |
| mikefoo | If i was to forward localhost:3306 to a remote-server:3306, would there be any problems with that? both web/db servers | 05:40 |
| BigDaddy | drizzt69: why would you ask for a XP iso in the ubuntu channel? | 05:40 |
| usuario | td bem | 05:40 |
| relapse | this is a new install, just installed this morning on a new laptop | 05:40 |
| Peddy | relapse: What happens if you remove it? | 05:40 |
| Peddy | the theme | 05:41 |
| DanaG | The one LEGAL thing to do is to find somebody ELSE with a physical XP cd, and then use your OWN existing key. If it's an OEM key, then you may be SOL. | 05:41 |
| BigDaddy | LancerDragoon: you like Exaile? you ever tried Listen? | 05:41 |
| relapse | Peddy: noting changes, i switchedback to human made no difference. | 05:41 |
| astro76 | DanaG, very true | 05:41 |
| Peddy | relapse: but what if uninstall? | 05:41 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: no, not yet, I shall now give it a try. | 05:41 |
| relapse | ill try | 05:41 |
| relapse | hold on | 05:41 |
| BigDaddy | LancerDragoon: WAIT | 05:41 |
| DanaG | Also, it's subjectively less shady to do it that way. | 05:41 |
| drizzt69 | astro69, i'm not looking to copy anything i used to have a valid version but comp crashed and i never had a backup | 05:41 |
| VJain8905 | BigDaddy: is one week not long enough to mess around w/ Ubuntu to see if I like it's DE? | 05:42 |
| astro76 | drizzt69, you can also get a replacement cd from them for $35 | 05:42 |
| Peddy | DanaG: I though it was legal to obtain XP (by any means) as long as you use your own (paid) key? | 05:42 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: wait? | 05:42 |
| modu | I know that there is quiet a few, but can someone recommend me a good RSS-feeder? | 05:42 |
| DanaG | That's gray area. | 05:42 |
| astro76 | Peddy, for $35 as I mentioned ;) | 05:42 |
| BigDaddy | LancerDragoon: I was just curious if you knew how to fix the damn thing from duplicating ever song in the library evertime you refresh it | 05:42 |
| Peddy | ahh | 05:42 |
| Jausk | modu, for gnome? | 05:42 |
| Shadix | What does it mean "no public key" http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45087/ | 05:42 |
| drizzt69 | astro76, no they won't give me one they said i need to get vista since thats all they make anymore | 05:42 |
| modu | Jausk: yes sir | 05:42 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: Oh, no. I wouldn't know about that. | 05:42 |
| BigDaddy | VJain8905: I used Kubuntu for 2 months before I decided to switch to Ubuntu | 05:42 |
| mogra | Peddy: Downloaded ISO's are not "legal" per se, as it's illegal to share the ISO. Making "copies of the disk" is considered illegal. | 05:42 |
| relapse | Peddy: how do i uninstal the theme, in apperene settings, delete is greyed out | 05:42 |
| modu | Jausk: or simply indepandant from gnome, doesnt mather as long as it works fine | 05:42 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: It sure looks pretty though. | 05:43 |
| BigDaddy | LancerDragoon: I thought maybe you had tried a few and settled on Exaile | 05:43 |
| Peddy | BigDaddy: Can you give me a hand with Pidgin? I have a screenshot upped. | 05:43 |
| VJain8905 | BigDaddy: k, thanks. I guess I'll try it out for longer then i planned | 05:43 |
| astro76 | drizzt69, they went back on that and are still selling XP, have you tried recently? otherwise just don't discuss it here | 05:43 |
| Jausk | modu, liferea | 05:43 |
| Jausk | for example | 05:43 |
| BigDaddy | Peddy: what'cha got? | 05:43 |
| Jausk | or straw | 05:43 |
| Peddy | http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/5676/pidgin2qd1.png | 05:43 |
| m0u5e | .net | 05:43 |
| drizzt69 | ok i won't discuss it here | 05:43 |
| * DanaG uses amarok, for the sake of having folder views. | 05:43 | |
| relapse | Peddy: how do i uninstal the theme, in apperene settings, delete is greyed out | 05:43 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, there's a ##windows on freenode. | 05:43 |
| DanaG | And apparently, irc.ubuntu.com IS irc.freenode.net. | 05:43 |
| modu | Jausk: oh, I remember using liferea now that you mention that one, thanks for the tip | 05:44 |
| Ratman | can I map drives from my windows box to this (ubuntu) computer? | 05:44 |
| drizzt69 | astro76, you know why its shutting down all of my torrent programs as soon as they open? | 05:44 |
| Peddy | relapse: no idea try asking someone else (or googling) 'how to uninstall themes in ubuntu' | 05:44 |
| nalioth | Ratman: yes, using samba | 05:44 |
| BigDaddy | Peddy: what is that for your GNOME menu button? | 05:44 |
| Jausk | Peddy, your gnome is beatiful | 05:44 |
| Peddy | Thanks. I spent a lot of time on it. | 05:44 |
| Jausk | but ou use the office? | 05:44 |
| Jausk | you* | 05:44 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, my apport is broken. It never offers up any bug reports. | 05:45 |
| Peddy | As you can see, M$ word is on it. Disgraceful | 05:45 |
| Ratman | nalioth: Sorry I am totally new and just trying to learn linux, what is Samba? | 05:45 |
| astro76 | drizzt69, no idea about azureus | 05:45 |
| Peddy | I prefer Beryl to Compiz Fusion, but can't get it working in gutsy. So Compiz Fusion it is | 05:45 |
| Peddy | I am using Sun's Solaris Nimbus theme btw | 05:45 |
| VJain8905 | is the difference between PCLinuxOS and Ubuntu the DE? | 05:45 |
| nalioth | Ratman: if you use windows, you are familiar with it :) it is how windows allows folders and files to be addressed over the network | 05:46 |
| BigDaddy | Peddy: are you using any unusual fonts? | 05:46 |
| Flannel | VJain8905: no. theres other differences as well | 05:46 |
| Jausk | DE? | 05:46 |
| nalioth | ubotu: tell Ratman about samba | 05:46 |
| VJain8905 | DE=desktop environment. | 05:46 |
| usser | !samba | Ratman | 05:46 |
| ubotu | Ratman: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 05:46 |
| Jausk | :) thanks | 05:46 |
| VJain8905 | Flannel: Are there any major ones? | 05:46 |
| Peddy | BigDaddy: Not really, sans. | 05:46 |
| BigDaddy | Peddy: is the user you are messaging offline? | 05:46 |
| drizzt69 | astro76, it did the same in bittorrent but now i can't even find bittorrent and it won't let me reinstall it because it says its still there and won't let me un-install it | 05:47 |
| Peddy | Bigdaddy: I am using the same ones since I upgraded from Feisty. Pidgin hasn't been working since | 05:47 |
| Peddy | nope | 05:47 |
| Peddy | online | 05:47 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, one thing I was surprised to learn: apparently SMB is also called CIFS. | 05:47 |
| usser | Peddy: did u try purging pidgin | 05:47 |
| Peddy | If I look at the output in terminal, it says 'segmentation fault' | 05:47 |
| egkamp | I could use some help getting my laptops' scroll pad to work with a vmplayer ubuntu 7.1 appliance | 05:47 |
| usser | Peddy: and installing again | 05:47 |
| Peddy | usser: yes | 05:47 |
| Kamandag | how can i install Opera in breezy 5.10? | 05:47 |
| sidlet | Is pidgin available in feisty? | 05:47 |
| usser | Peddy: wow segfault eh | 05:47 |
| Peddy | usser: And deleting my /home/peddy/.pidgin | 05:47 |
| usser | Peddy: its probably a bug | 05:48 |
| sidlet | or am I stuck with gaim? | 05:48 |
| Peddy | Segfault, core took a dump | 05:48 |
| LancerDragoon | sidlet: Only through third-party repos, I think. | 05:48 |
| Peddy | -.- | 05:48 |
| sidlet | bummer | 05:48 |
| astro76 | Kamandag, you should update to a supported version of Ubuntu | 05:48 |
| LancerDragoon | sidlet: I'm using pidgin myself, on feisty | 05:48 |
| DanaG | Debuntu.org has pidgin. | 05:48 |
| Haemoth | Does Gutsy have support for the UDF 2.5 filesystem built-in, or does that need to be installed separately? | 05:48 |
| usser | sidlet: u can compile it yourself | 05:48 |
| BigDaddy | Peddy: how about plugin's? What plugin's are you using? | 05:48 |
| Kamandag | how can i install Opera in breezy 5.10? ive just downloaded opera for ubuntu | 05:48 |
| Peddy | BigDaddy: Excellent thought. I am disabling all of them right now. | 05:48 |
| judgernaught | Can anyone explain to the difference between the CD distro and the DVD distro? | 05:49 |
| Peddy | pidgin | 05:49 |
| Flannel | VJain8905: I have no idea. Ubuntu uses dpkg while PCLinuxOS uses rpm, PCLos is based on Mandriva, while Ubuntu is based on debian. If you want KDE with ubuntu (the DE PC... uses) you just use Kubuntu. | 05:49 |
| sidlet | usser, i see no need to compile something. :P it'll break the beautiful apt system I have going. | 05:49 |
| Ratman | how do I get to a command line? | 05:49 |
| Jausk | judgernaught, the DVD distro have more packages | 05:49 |
| usser | judgernaught: dvd has extra packages on it | 05:49 |
| sidlet | usser, but thanks for the idea anyway.. | 05:49 |
| VJain8905 | Flannel: thanks | 05:49 |
| LancerDragoon | sidlet: third party repos is your best bet then | 05:49 |
| nalioth | Ratman: Applications > accessories > terminal | 05:49 |
| usser | sidlet: have u heard of checkinstall | 05:49 |
| Flannel | judgernaught: The DVD has both the liveCD and the text based installer, and includes more packages | 05:49 |
| rubydiamond | how to install fonts in ubuntu | 05:49 |
| LancerDragoon | sidlet: or getdeb.net | 05:49 |
| weltschmerz | anyone here a genius with Grace? | 05:49 |
| Ratman | thanks, sorry this is sooooo new. | 05:49 |
| sidlet | no.... whassat? | 05:49 |
| DanaG | DEBUNTU. | 05:49 |
| Flannel | judgernaught: that is, more packages in the repos on the CD | 05:49 |
| usser | sidlet: it compiles and produces a .deb | 05:49 |
| DanaG | for pidgin. | 05:49 |
| sidlet | !checkinstall | 05:49 |
| VJain8905 | Flannel: also, should I start out with Kubuntu or Ubuntu if I am going from Windows -> Linux | 05:49 |
| ubotu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 05:49 |
| usser | sidlet: which u can install | 05:49 |
| LancerDragoon | VJain8905: Kubuntu uses KDE which is aesthetically similar to Windows. | 05:50 |
| judgernaught | thank you all very much. is the dvd worth buying to get the extra packages? | 05:50 |
| Jausk | and Gnome to Mac OS X | 05:50 |
| VJain8905 | which would you suggest for a first time linux user? | 05:50 |
| Flannel | VJain8905: Either one, its really just personal preference. I suggest trying both, either by liveCD of each, or by installing them both (install one, then install the other via package management), they can both sit on the same Ubuntu install (that's Ubuntu the distro, not Ubuntu the flavor) | 05:50 |
| LancerDragoon | VJain8905: I prefer Gnome, but it's only a personal preference thing. | 05:50 |
| meta4ical | Could anyone help me with Ubuntu 7.10 and my x800 pro, I'm trying to get the fglrx drivers working but I bootup with a black screen. I posted a thread on the forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3792186#post3792186) with what i've tried and my xorg.conf if anyones willing? :( | 05:51 |
| nalioth | VJain8905: they are all free to choose from. install them all, use them and see whiche one YOU like | 05:51 |
| VJain8905 | thanks | 05:51 |
| Flannel | judgernaught: The packages will be outdated already, so unless you're using it somewhere that has no internet, you don't really get any benefit | 05:51 |
| BigDaddy | LancerDragoon: I don't agree with that. KDE is so dissimilar to Windows | 05:51 |
| R3ckl3ss | Anyone know of a good usenet program that will work with NZB's? | 05:51 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: I thought there would be someone disagreeing with me about it. :D | 05:51 |
| BigDaddy | KDE is much nicer looking that WIndows | 05:51 |
| amidaniel | BigDaddy: Well, unless you turn on redmand | 05:51 |
| Peddy | BigDaddy: I can now send messages, the core doesn't take a dump anymore, but there is still no send button. | 05:51 |
| BigDaddy | LancerDragoon: Glad it could be me then! | 05:51 |
| amidaniel | Or whatever it was called | 05:51 |
| diogofsr | BigDaddy: MUCH more... | 05:51 |
| === christian_ is now known as _Christian | ||
| Kamandag | ive just downloaded opera for ubuntu.. whats next? | 05:51 |
| Kamandag | .deb | 05:51 |
| judgernaught | thanks to everyone who helpled me. im loggint out now | 05:52 |
| usser | Peddy: theres no send button in pidgin at all :) | 05:52 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: Haha, I suppose it's because the Kicker is almost always used on the bottom of the screen, which would certainly remind one of windows. | 05:52 |
| Flannel | Kamandag: double click it. | 05:52 |
| Jausk | bye judgernaught | 05:52 |
| BigDaddy | LancerDragoon: I agree there | 05:52 |
| Jausk | later | 05:52 |
| Jausk | xD | 05:52 |
| BigDaddy | Peddy: what plugins did you disable? | 05:52 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: Glad we agree on that. :p | 05:52 |
| egkamp | how do I get my laptop's scroll pad to work with ubuntu? | 05:52 |

| Peddy | BigDaddy: Purple plugin pack. Deleting them too, now. | 05:52 |
| cyberick | Can someone tell me how to use math.h library? | 05:53 |
| * LancerDragoon begins a promotional advert for GNOME. | 05:53 | |
| VJain8905 | Will setting up the internet on Ubuntu be easy? Or will I need help doing it? | 05:53 |
| cyberick | I mean... how to use it on gcc... | 05:53 |
| BigDaddy | I love KDE, but Kubuntu had too many problems for me. I like the cornacopia of configuration options in KDE | 05:53 |
| Kamandag | Flannel, archive not supported | 05:53 |
| BigDaddy | GNOME has that training wheel feel to it | 05:53 |
| DanaG | I can't change brightness when in KDE. | 05:53 |
| diogofsr | cyberick: Insert it with include than compile with -lm | 05:53 |

| DanaG | I want a KDE version of gnome-panel, essentially. | 05:53 |
| LancerDragoon | VJain8905: Your only problem should only be with wireless. | 05:54 |
| cyberick | Thanks, diogofsr! | 05:54 |
| Peddy | BigDaddy: Problem is fixed, thanks for your help. Problem is with plugins, I'm gonna isolate them and then file a bug report. | 05:54 |
| Peddy | BigDaddy: cya | 05:54 |
| LancerDragoon | Vjain8905: Although, most wireless cards work with Ubuntu out of the box now. | 05:54 |

| VJain8905 | LancerDragoon: thanks | 05:54 |

| xoRock | hi, just install realtek driver from this page, http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false and i got log out after log in, how to reinstall standard driver? | 05:54 |
| BigDaddy | Peddyglad I could have helped | 05:54 |
| DanaG | Yeah. The KDE equivalents are ugly. | 05:54 |
| nalioth | VJain8905: if you use cable or *dsl, with a standard wired NIC, it should find the network right away | 05:55 |
| DanaG | And you can't even match the colors. | 05:55 |
| DanaG | Not easily, I mean. | 05:55 |
| BigDaddy | DanaG: and that is what kills me. Everything else is beautiful on KDE, expt for the meters | 05:55 |
| Ratman | ok, i downloaded, installed and configured firestarter... is there anything on or around the desktop to show me it's still running or working after I close the box? | 05:55 |
| LancerDragoon | VJain8905: If you use PPPOE, without a router between your PC and your modem, you might want to check up on how to set it up. | 05:55 |
| Haemoth | Does Gutsy have support for the UDF 2.5 filesystem built-in, or does that need to be installed separately? | 05:55 |
| DanaG | And big huge icons instead of menus. | 05:55 |
| LancerDragoon | VJain8905: Otherwise, it should work just fine. | 05:55 |
| VJain8905 | I have a router inbetween, so it should be fine. And I'm dual-booting so at worst, I'll restart in Windows to get help | 05:55 |
| nalioth | Ratman: you downloaded with the package manager or with your browser? | 05:55 |
| BigDaddy | KDE themes and icons, gorgeous. Kongueror is an awesome FM... Nautilus not so much | 05:55 |
| DanaG | Most KDE themes also just feel bulky to me. | 05:55 |
| DanaG | Oh, one big gripe with GTK apps: | 05:56 |
| BigDaddy | Bulky? Have you seen human? | 05:56 |
| Ratman | package manager | 05:56 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: While I love GNOME, KDE4 is making me seriously rethink my allegiance. | 05:56 |
| Ratman | I think | 05:56 |
| BigDaddy | LancerDragoon: oh yeah. I really want to try that | 05:56 |
| DanaG | Try going to some File->Open somewhere, and type a path and then hit enter. | 05:56 |
| nalioth | Ratman: firestarter doesn't "run" per se, it is used to adjust your firewall settings | 05:56 |
| DanaG | And then bang on your keyboard repeatedly and holler when enter does absolutely nothing. | 05:56 |
| Shadix | Are there any other chans for support? | 05:56 |
| DanaG | So much for accessibility. | 05:56 |
| nalioth | Shadix: support for what? | 05:56 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: Plasma and all them fancy new widgets. I'm so tempted to switch to KDE just for that. | 05:56 |
| Ratman | nalioth: ok, so the firewall is part of ubuntu? | 05:57 |
| Shadix | I'm having trouble getting barry installed Shockwaver was helping me but had to go. my issue is that I can't dl opensync i get his error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45087/ | 05:57 |
| Lapinux | i guess i will give this one more try, then if it wont install to heck with it | 05:57 |
| nalioth | Ratman: every *nix has a "firewall" | 05:57 |
| BigDaddy | Who said KDE was bulky? Danag? | 05:57 |
| BigDaddy | http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs19/f/2007/290/b/6/I_like_KDE_dammit_by_marriedman.jpg | 05:57 |
| BigDaddy | that was my KDE setup | 05:57 |
| drizzt69 | nalioth, how do i get firestarter ? | 05:57 |
| nalioth | drizzt69: use your package manager | 05:57 |
| Ratman | nailoth: ok, thanks | 05:57 |
| DanaG | I also LIKE orange, but can't find any nice orange KDE themes. | 05:57 |

| Lapinux | something about my desktop machine... | 05:58 |

| egkamp | my laptop scroll pad works with the livecd, but not from inside a vmplayer ubuntu appliance | 05:58 |
| BigDaddy | LancerDragoon: thanks. Unfortunately it was really unstable, Login manager problems, quirky app behaviour | 05:58 |
| egkamp | xorg.conf looks ok | 05:58 |
| lunks | rubydiamond: just drag your fonts to fonts:// | 05:58 |
| DanaG | ~$ arecord -fcd | 05:58 |
| lunks | it should work | 05:58 |
| DanaG | Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo | 05:59 |
| DanaG | RIFF$�WAVEfmt D��data� | 05:59 |
| lunks | It may require root, dunno | 05:59 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: Happens, sometimes. | 05:59 |
| DanaG | gaack, pidgin mangles it even worse. | 05:59 |
| chapium | DanaG: i get pure silence | 05:59 |
| DanaG | But anyway, arecord simply HANGS after the riff thingy. | 05:59 |
| BigDaddy | I learned a valuable lesson then though. I learned how to have a /home partition | 05:59 |
| DanaG | I don't even get silence -- I get the application blocking. | 05:59 |
| chapium | if i test it in preferences i get this: failed to construct test pipeline | 05:59 |
| BigDaddy | DanaG: what are you trying to do? | 05:59 |
| R3ckl3ss | !nzb | 05:59 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nzb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:59 |
| Shadix | no other support chans? | 06:00 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: I *really* should make a /home partition. | 06:00 |
| DanaG | I'm trying to get working audio capture. | 06:00 |
| DanaG | Even the HG ALSA doesn't fix it. | 06:00 |
| BigDaddy | LancerDragoon: the only problem I have is that it doesn't automatically use the users from that partition | 06:00 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: I guess if you're the only user, it wouldn't be a problem, right? | 06:01 |
| BigDaddy | LancerDragoon: so I have to make a temp admin and then activate those users after the install | 06:01 |
| jo_ | hello | 06:01 |
| Haemoth | Does Gutsy have support for the UDF 2.5 filesystem built-in, or does that need to be installed separately? | 06:01 |
| nalioth | Shadix: well, using debian packages in Ubuntu is one sure way to wreck your system | 06:01 |
| LancerDragoon | BigDaddy: Ah, I see. | 06:01 |
| * LancerDragoon shows off his desktop: http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3932/desktop8ik4.png | 06:01 | |
| BigDaddy | It adds about 5 min to the install process. No big deal. I can go from one OS, wipe the HD, clean install and up and running in 25 minutes | 06:02 |
| Shadix | nalioth, oh | 06:02 |
| egkamp | can anyone help with getting a scroll pad to work with gutsy? | 06:02 |
| user__ | Any floppy drive ppl in the room ? Disk is formated in ubuntu msdos format, bad block check on . It takes more than a minute to mount it in ubuntu, but is instantly available to an xp machine in vm ware when enabled with vmware tools. Ideas why so slow mounting in linux? <vmware off> ofcourse | 06:02 |
| BigDaddy | Windows can suck it from now on. I haven't touched XP except for at work since Sept 20 | 06:02 |
| Shadix | nalioth, is there any way to install Barry then or am I hooped? | 06:03 |
| chapium | egkamp: what is not working? | 06:03 |
| nalioth | Shadix: have you searched in synaptic for it? | 06:03 |
| LancerDragoon | I haven't touched Windows seriously since last year, I think. | 06:03 |
| egkamp | i can not scroll | 06:03 |
| Shadix | what is synaptic? | 06:03 |
| BigDaddy | DanaG: do you get garbled sound or no sound at all? | 06:03 |
| egkamp | the mouse works other than that | 06:03 |
| chapium | egkamp: have you checked mouse preferences? | 06:03 |
| BigDaddy | Shadix: Synaptic is the package manager for Ubuntu | 06:03 |
| DanaG | Not even silence, just an application hang. | 06:03 |
| nalioth | ubotu: tell Shadix about synaptic | 06:03 |
| Haemoth | Sadly, I need to use Windows to watch high defenition movies. | 06:03 |
| DanaG | It's like the system call never returns. | 06:03 |
| nalioth | Shadix: you should always try to use Ubuntu packages first | 06:04 |
| egkamp | the graphical mouse preferences utility doesn't have anything to do with scrolling | 06:04 |
| egkamp | i've looked at xorg.cong and it looks ok | 06:04 |
| BigDaddy | DanaG: do you have integrated soundcard or thindparty? | 06:04 |
| chapium | egkamp: do you mean a scroll wheel or a touchpad? | 06:04 |
| abbe | hi channel | 06:04 |
| nomasteryoda | but there is a tool for that called ksynaptics | 06:04 |
| LancerDragoon | Haemoth: Aye sir, too bad that Linux doesn't support HD videos that well. | 06:04 |
| liberion | anyone live in kentucky? | 06:04 |
| egkamp | chapium: i mean a laptop touchpad's scroll pad | 06:04 |
| abbe | I'm running gutsy and hotplug for network interface is not working. | 06:05 |
| egkamp | the part of the touchpad with the ridges | 06:05 |
| chapium | liberion: near ky | 06:05 |
| liberion | chapium, what state? | 06:05 |
| chapium | liberion: indiana | 06:05 |
| chapium | liberion: nowhere close to there at the moment | 06:05 |
| abbe | can anyone help me how to fix this ? | 06:05 |
| Haemoth | LancerDragoon, hopefully that can change in the future. | 06:05 |
| abbe | shall I modify udev rules directly or any other recommended way | 06:06 |
| nomasteryoda | abbe, for wireless or wired? | 06:06 |
| Haemoth | LancerDragoon, nice desktop, btw. ;] | 06:06 |
| * DanaG boots back to his real system..... | 06:06 | |
| abbe | nomasteryoda: wired, USB network device, running cdc-ether module | 06:06 |
| lunks | Can I have more than one side pane on Nautilus? | 06:06 |
| liberion | chapium, my sis live in jeffersonville ,IN | 06:06 |
| LancerDragoon | Haemoth: Thanks! Worked quite a bit on it. | 06:06 |
| BigDaddy | DanaG left? I was trying to help! | 06:07 |
| nomasteryoda | hmmm, i've never used one of those on any of my ubuntu boxen.... i would think aliasing would be needed so the system sees it | 06:07 |
| abbe | nomasteryoda: whenever I plugin the USB cable, it should ifup, and whenever I plug out, it should ifdown | 06:07 |
| nomasteryoda | but hmho | 06:07 |
| chapium | BigDaddy: i'm also having sound capture problems | 06:07 |
| RCP | I need help with Wine | 06:07 |
| BigDaddy | chapium: what issues are you having? | 06:07 |
| BigDaddy | RCP: what do you need help with? | 06:08 |
| Lapinux | if im in a livecd session doing an install, is there a way to determin which drive grub will consider hd0? just to double check... | 06:08 |
| nomasteryoda | i dumped networkmanager for wicd too.. works all the time | 06:08 |
| beterraba | do you know any application of linear algebra? | 06:08 |
| chapium | BigDaddy: sound works in general, but mic doesnt respond | 06:08 |
| RCP | I instilled Vnc and I need to know where the Folder that it is in | 06:08 |
| egkamp | linear algebra can be done with octave | 06:08 |
| abbe | networkmanager sucks | 06:08 |
| nomasteryoda | and does not ask me to enter a password once i've authenticated on a network... networkmanager is lame that way | 06:08 |
| beterraba | octave? | 06:08 |
| nomasteryoda | wicd rocks! | 06:08 |
| egkamp | maxima also does linear algebra | 06:09 |
| egkamp | octave is the matlab clone, we used it for NumAnal II | 06:09 |
| beterraba | ah ok | 06:09 |
| beterraba | but.. | 06:09 |
| egkamp | maxima is symbolic | 06:09 |
| chapium | BigDaddy: i get this bizarre errror in sound prefs if i test it: Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' | 06:09 |
| beterraba | something smaller | 06:09 |
| RCP | I instilled Vnc and I need to know where the Folder that it is in - Bigdaddy | 06:09 |
| beterraba | but cool | 06:09 |
| BigDaddy | chapium: lets start at the beginning. Do you have the mic plugged into the correct jack? Don't laugh, I still make that mistake on the front of my PC | 06:09 |
| beterraba | something i can do | 06:09 |
| egkamp | there is also a gnu linear programming app, i think | 06:09 |
| beterraba | =P | 06:09 |
| Haemoth | I have some minor problems with wicd. The wireless network does not reconnect if it goes down. Sometimes I need to plugin in the wired network, and then the wireless might show up again. Apart from that, its great. NetworkManager had be rebooting Ubuntu everytime my wireless went down. | 06:10 |
| BigDaddy | RCP: you are installing VNC through wine? | 06:10 |
| RCP | yes | 06:10 |
| nomasteryoda | abbe, when connected to my network (has 2 wifi routers with same name), it sees only the 1... if it is connected and all other noize is gone.... much nicer | 06:10 |
| chapium | BigDaddy: laptop, one mic on top, a plug in in front | 06:10 |
| Haemoth | *me | 06:10 |
| beterraba | you say the graphics? | 06:10 |
| RCP | hmm | 06:10 |
| RCP | Yes, Bigdaddy | 06:10 |
| BigDaddy | RCP: um, I don't know anything about that app, but isn't it native to linux? | 06:11 |
| RCP | I thnik | 06:11 |
| BigDaddy | chapium: damn, that would have been great if it was that simple | 06:11 |

| Crozar | its been the 8th day me and my windows friends are using UbuntU , and they are exited about this System , they even say this is how computers should be but not that HO3 ( windows ) that runs around with no protection | 06:37 |
| eckesicle | !ati | CubeXombi | 06:38 |
| ubotu | CubeXombi: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:38 |
| lunz | nalioth,it is a live cd | 06:38 |
| CubeXombi | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:38 |
| nalioth | lunz: you'll need the alternate cdrom to upgrade from | 06:38 |
| chapium | bigdaddy, thanks for the help. I've got to get some rest | 06:38 |
| BigDaddy | chapium: aha... it's a known bug | 06:38 |
| josiahw | try this ATI and NVIDIA users: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html works great for me | 06:38 |
| CubeXombi | that "would" be a good read if i didn't already follow it and get | 06:38 |
| CubeXombi | Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0". | 06:38 |
| lukas_ | thanks you ubotu | 06:38 |
| BigDaddy | I just found it at launchpad | 06:38 |
| lunz | nalioth,how to get the alternate cd?why i cant uprade from the live cd? | 06:38 |
| meta4ical | Could anyone help me with Ubuntu 7.10 and my x800 pro, I'm trying to get the fglrx drivers working but I bootup with a black screen. I posted a thread on the forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3792186#post3792186) with what i've tried and my xorg.conf if anyones willing? :( | 06:39 |
| nalioth | lunz: i'm afraid not :( | 06:39 |
| CubeXombi | meta4ical.. one second .. nothing to do with the drivers | 06:39 |
| Kalamansi | newguyss: i dont see any choices there when i start my ubuntu..what to type?is there a command to type there so i could login in dos mode?(without x window) | 06:39 |
| chapium | lunz: links to the alternate cds are usually on the same page as the normal one | 06:39 |
| BigDaddy | it is the same as the old winmodems. The HDA driver (and modem funny enough) are dependant upon windows | 06:39 |
| nalioth | ubotu: tell lunz about alternate | 06:39 |
| Crozar | meta4ical, can i clarify | 06:39 |
| chapium | BigDaddy: i guess that explains the modem jack on the laptop... | 06:40 |
| CubeXombi | meta4ical.. what happens when you boot, do you eventually get into X? | 06:40 |
| BigDaddy | chapium: how old is that lappy? was it made for Vista? | 06:40 |
| Crozar | meta4ical, its black screen you say ? nothing to see? nothing? | 06:40 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi there is no such thing as dos in linux... | 06:40 |
| sutabi | I sudo "rm" a file and now its in the trash but when I try to empty it, says permission error, anyone know how I would remove my trash? | 06:40 |
| chapium | BigDaddy: Vista Ready! | 06:40 |
| lunz | nalioth,so what should i do with the live cd if i can't upgrade it? | 06:40 |
| seanwlambert | Hey everyone | 06:40 |
| seanwlambert | Im new to ubuntu | 06:40 |
| meta4ical | CubeXombi: It goes to the Ubuntu progress bar as you're starting up, and then never reaches the login screen, goes black | 06:40 |
| xoRock | how to reinstall sound driver from recovery console | 06:40 |
| chapium | BigDaddy: its almost a year old | 06:40 |
| Crozar | meta4ical, if that computer is on press Ctrl + ALT + F4 , and if you see something then the screen is detected but the driver is not loaded for the current screen | 06:40 |
| BigDaddy | chapium: that is M$ speak for vendor lock-in | 06:41 |
| sutabi | seanwlambert: welcome :) | 06:41 |
| seanwlambert | sutabi: thanks | 06:41 |
| Crozar | sutabi, you want to remove permissions? | 06:41 |
| nalioth | lunz: pass it on to a windows using friend :) | 06:41 |
| seanwlambert | I just figured out how to use pidgin as an IRC | 06:41 |
| sutabi | Crozar: I want to empty my trash... | 06:41 |
| newguyss | Kalamansi: what you mean by DOS mode, you need black screen where you can type commands? | 06:41 |
| BigDaddy | Kalamansi: there is no DOS mode. Remember? command line! and the option to boot into the cli should be in your grub menu | 06:41 |
| meta4ical | CubeXombi: I also tried ENVY since it worked on my x1550 but it lets me logon, then goes into a white screen | 06:41 |

| mike | l\ | 06:41 |
| Crozar | sutabi, is that a new user in your desktop? | 06:41 |
| chapium | bigdaddy i'd prefer to run xp and keep the ram | 06:41 |
| meta4ical | Crozar: Alright I'll try that now | 06:41 |
| seanwlambert | I have finally been converted from the dark side (microsoft) | 06:41 |
| central | hello, I need to burn a cd with 800 mega, i find some cd with 870mega but i can't burn it, any special burner for that ? | 06:41 |
| meta4ical | brb | 06:41 |
| Crozar | sutabi, its probably because you added new users right? | 06:41 |
| BigDaddy | chapium: well, I am sorry I could not help you on that one | 06:41 |
| sutabi | Crozar: um.. well its my only user "sutabi" but I removed something as "root" | 06:42 |
| Crozar | sutabi, go to user groups and give Full Permission for a user it can do then everything | 06:42 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer: what to press when i want to use the x window?ctrl+alt+f2 for console right...what about if you want to get back in x window?thanks | 06:42 |
| Crozar | sutabi, lol thats why :/ | 06:42 |
| CubeXombi | meta4ical you can restore the original Xorg by typing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 06:42 |
| Crozar | sutabi, why do you remove root when its important for some jobs like that for instance | 06:42 |
| seanwlambert | anyone know how to install Ventrilo drivers? | 06:42 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi-> you use /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 06:42 |
| newguyss | Kalamansi: tyoe exit | 06:42 |
| nalioth | Crozar: sudo works fine for those tasks | 06:42 |
| sutabi | Crozar: because it was in my /usr/local directory | 06:42 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi-> you use /etc/init.d/gdm stop to also stop X | 06:42 |
| sutabi | and sudo rm did the trick | 06:42 |
| BigDaddy | crap... got caught. I gotta go to bed. Later all... | 06:43 |
| RCP | bigdaddy How can you use a webcam on liunx | 06:43 |
| RCP | hmm ok | 06:43 |
| sutabi | so now its in my user "sutabi" trash wih root permissions and I cant empty my trash | 06:43 |
| nalioth | RCP: search in synaptic for 'webcam' | 06:43 |
| Crozar | sutabi, linux is diffrent then windows its more secure and powerful it gives a user FULL BENEFIT , you should use it with no means of any problem ,i cant believe why everybody has some problems and in the end its a little issue or a conflict or maybe hardware ...most likely it can be fixed with some precise reading for accurate feedback on appointing to tasks | 06:43 |
| astro76 | sutabi, rm does not move files to trash | 06:43 |
| root_ | 这是哪里呀？ | 06:43 |
| nalioth | 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 06:44 |
| CubeXombi | Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0" Mean anything to anyone, cause to me it means my Driver is busted. (or shabbily installed) | 06:44 |
| sutabi | AstroI know.... | 06:44 |
| Crozar | seanwlambert, you need ventrilo? did you try win(E) ? | 06:44 |
| root_ | 我怎么进到这里了？ | 06:44 |
| RCP | <nalioth> ok now what do I do | 06:44 |
| sutabi | astro76: ha I know it puts it in my trash... now I want it out but >.> how.. | 06:44 |
| seanwlambert | crozar, yes. I have installed it and i can run it, but cannot talk or hear, only chat | 06:44 |
| central | hello, I need to burn a cd with 800 mega, i find some cd with 870mega but i can't burn it, any special burner for that ? | 06:44 |
| Crozar | root_, !language | 06:44 |
| sutabi | I dont see .trash folder so I cant change the permossions | 06:44 |
| Crozar | english root_ | 06:44 |
| seanwlambert | Im sure is a codec thing | 06:44 |
| nalioth | RCP: install whatever you find and read the instructions (i have no webcam) | 06:45 |
| astro76 | sutabi, I said rm does NOT move files to your trash, you said you did sudo rm and now the files are in trash, this is impossible | 06:45 |
| astro76 | sutabi, but anyway if you want to empty the trash, sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/* | 06:45 |
| lunz | nalioth,thanks | 06:45 |
| Crozar | hmm seanwlambert for sound drivers and portings you must ask soundray but he isnt here atm | 06:45 |
| Crozar | sutabi, you removed root :/ | 06:45 |
| seanwlambert | crozar, thanks anyway | 06:45 |
| Crozar | sutabi, trash can be deleted btw | 06:45 |
| sutabi | astro76: oh.. .Trash >.< | 06:45 |
| sutabi | grr | 06:45 |
| Crozar | sutabi, you can log in with nautalis | 06:46 |
| central | ? | 06:46 |
| CubeXombi | <meta4ical back in X now? | 06:46 |
| meta4ical | Crozar: Ctrl + Alt + F4 didn't do anything :P | 06:46 |
| Tony_ | CubeXombi: Thanks, I'm back in. The reconfigure changed things a little, but I'm at least back into gnome. I think it backed up my config file. How do I go in and look at the new one and the old one? I'd like to duplicate everything exactly (it was working fine before) except for the driver, of course. | 06:46 |
| meta4ical | No, I can get back by reverting it to vesa but that doesn't really fix the problem | 06:46 |
| central | hello, I need to burn a cd with 800 mega, i find some cd with 870mega but i can't burn it, any special burner for that ? | 06:47 |
| Crozar | no meta4ical ctrl alt f4 = msdos ( terminal ) | 06:47 |
| astro76 | msdos? | 06:47 |
| meta4ical | Crozar: what? | 06:47 |
| Crozar | meta4ical, if it havent :( then ? how can you do such work | 06:47 |
| Crozar | means you can start ubuntu ? meta4ical ? | 06:47 |
| sutabi | astro76: believe it or not as for me Gutsy removing anything that has been set to root permissions and I do "sudo rm" it ends up in my trash =_= | 06:47 |
| niru | I want to change the desktop text color | 06:47 |
| Crozar | astro76, i maen linux DOS | 06:47 |
| central | i need to burn ubuntustudio | 06:47 |
| niru | I added the following lines in .gtkrc-2.0 | 06:47 |
| CubeXombi | Tony_ in terminal "ls /etc/X11/" you should see xorg.conf, it thers a .conf~ that should be the backup | 06:47 |
| central | 800mega | 06:47 |
| meta4ical | Sorry i'm kind of confused >< | 06:47 |
| niru | style "desktop-icon" | 06:48 |
| niru | { | 06:48 |
| niru | NautilusIconContainer::normal_alpha = 255 | 06:48 |
| niru | text[NORMAL] = "#000000" | 06:48 |
| niru | NautilusIconContainer::frame_text = 1 | 06:48 |
| niru | } | 06:48 |
| niru | class "GtkWidget" style "desktop-icon" | 06:48 |
| MidnighToker | sutabi: why are you deleting everything with root permissions!? | 06:48 |
| MidnighToker | niru, dont spam, pastebin | 06:48 |
| nalioth | ubotu: tell niru about paste | 06:48 |
| Crozar | meta4ical, laptop or pc? | 06:48 |
| niru | but the text comes with a patch now | 06:48 |
| meta4ical | Crozar: PC | 06:48 |
| Tony_ | CubeXombi great thanks again | 06:48 |
| sutabi | MidnighToker: I wasn't just a folder in "/usr/local" netbeans to be percise | 06:48 |
| Crozar | hmmm weird meta4ical , ati cards can work normally i dunno why you want powerful driver when you can use the common one | 06:48 |
| jals | is there a way to get compiz/scale to behave exactly like expose? | 06:48 |
| MidnighToker | sutabi: ah, fair does, if its just the netbeans, for a moment then i thought you were really mad | 06:49 |
| MidnighToker | jals: exactly? yeah, with a load of trial and error | 06:49 |
| CubeXombi | Meta4ical what card do you have? | 06:49 |
| Crozar | jals, you mean to orginize windows as a table view infront of y our screen>/ | 06:49 |
| MidnighToker | jals: or maybe some googling for mac themes/cloning? | 06:49 |
| jals | MidnighToker, well i mean more the button behavior | 06:49 |
| sutabi | MidnighToker: lol shoot 4 years ago with Mandrake I was made running as "root" as my primary user | 06:49 |
| meta4ical | Crozar: I ran 7.04 a few months back and loved it, i wanted to switch over from windows completely. I managed to get the only reason for me staying on windos (counterstrike) working. so that's why... i need it over the standard | 06:49 |
| Kalamansi | how to adjust my resolution?there is no options in desktop...thanks | 06:49 |
| jals | ie. press and hold f9, shows all windows | 06:49 |
| Crozar | jals, just go to options and bindings my friend | 06:49 |
| meta4ical | CubeXombi: It's an ati radeon x800 pro pci-e | 06:49 |
| nalioth | ubotu: tell Kalamansi about fixres | 06:49 |
| RCP | <nalioth>Ok now what (Im new to this) | 06:49 |
| jals | Crozar, i did try that, but it doesn't behave how i'd expect | 06:50 |
| Crozar | meta4ical, i see :/ gamers have problems | 06:50 |
| nalioth | RCP: i don't have a webcam :( | 06:50 |
| nantax | hi, is rocketdock available for use in ubuntu? | 06:50 |
| MidnighToker | jals: yeah, you can with some messing about, i found it was actually more pleasant using some of the other desktop switching tho, there is a compiz control pannel where you can muck about to your hearts content | 06:50 |
| RCP | hmm | 06:50 |
| xinfang11 | 怎么进中文频道呢？ | 06:50 |
| Kalamansi | how to adjust my resolution?there is no options in desktop...like i want to be my screen and txt will be small txt...thanks | 06:50 |
| Crozar | meta4ical, most people here talk about help which is because of gaming lo | 06:50 |
| nalioth | 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 06:50 |
| meta4ical | Crozar: Wine and CS installed without a hitch, it was just getting the card to work, but that was a different card | 06:50 |
| sutabi | Kalamansi: Gusty? | 06:50 |
| RCP | <nalioth> where do I go to use the app | 06:50 |
| sutabi | ermm Gutsy | 06:50 |
| nalioth | RCP: look in your menu | 06:50 |
| jals | if i bind to f9, hitting f9 brings up the windows but won't make them disappear again | 06:50 |
| meta4ical | Crozar: I never had any problems with getting the game to run/operate, just the video drivers | 06:50 |
| Kalamansi | sutabi: where is gutsy located? | 06:50 |
| Crozar | meta4ical, i see linux as a entertainment system , and get linux games like Quake ;) | 06:50 |
| sutabi | Kalamansi: no i mean are you running Ubuntu 7.10 aka Gutsy | 06:51 |
| RCP | <nalioth> Like I said im new to this where is that at | 06:51 |
| jals | is there alternate way to bind so the key acts more like the <super> key | 06:51 |
| MidnighToker | jals: ah, i see what you mean -thats annoying. i think you might have to go googling -or into the #compiz chatroom(s) | 06:51 |
| Kalamansi | sutabi : 7.04 | 06:51 |
| nalioth | RCP: at the top left, "Applications" | 06:51 |
| Crozar | jals, you must use the bindings , its a problem when you dont understand hwo to use it | 06:51 |
| nalioth | Kalamansi: see your PM from ubotu | 06:51 |
| Crozar | jals, go to #compiz channel and see how they will help you | 06:51 |
| sutabi | Kalamansi: blah =_= you have to do that manuelly via /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:51 |
| jals | ok, thanks MidnighToker, Crozar | 06:51 |
| windego40 | anyone with some time want to help me set up WoW on abuntu 7.10? | 06:52 |

| nalioth | cowbud: is this channel ok? | 06:52 |
| cowbud | nalioth: huh? | 06:53 |
| nalioth | cowbud: unofficial PPC support? | 06:53 |
| MidnighToker | cowbud: ppc? ppc arch? | 06:53 |
| cowbud | MidnighToker: yeah | 06:53 |
| niru | can anybody help me in changing the desktop icon text color | 06:53 |
| MidnighToker | nice to see some ppc users about | 06:53 |
| windego40 | midnighToker: ive tried getting the drivers for it but they dont work | 06:53 |
| sutabi | Kalamansi: googled: http://www.perpetualpc.net/srtd_resolution.html | 06:53 |
| cowbud | nalioth: uh i'd say since this is general ubuntu yes | 06:53 |
| Haemoth | Does Gutsy support UDF 2.5? | 06:53 |
| nalioth | ubotu: tell sutabi about fixres | 06:53 |
| nalioth | cowbud: we help with ppc Ubuntu | 06:54 |
| cowbud | MidnighToker: did some group of people go for getting ppc up? | 06:54 |
| nalioth | cowbud: PowerPC ubuntu is alive and well | 06:54 |
| sutabi | nalioth: how? | 06:54 |
| cowbud | nalioth: great, so I read that ubuntu dropped official ppc support..are there still packages? No kidding PowerPC is still alive in ubuntu? cause i don't see any feisty stuff.. | 06:54 |
| sutabi | nalioth: wait lol I dont need to fix mine.. grr | 06:54 |
| MidnighToker | windego40: i dont use it, sorry man. which drivers dont work? nvidia binary? | 06:54 |
| cowbud | err gutsy hah | 06:54 |
| nalioth | cowbud: you can get Gutsy PowerPC images | 06:54 |
| sutabi | nalioth: that was Kalamansi's q | 06:54 |
| sidlet | How can I get ubuntu-desktop package to re-install on feisty without all the extra gaim bloat? Or do I have to let all that sit around on my desktop since it "depends" on it | 06:55 |
| cowbud | nalioth: so they aren't dropping support for it? | 06:55 |
| nalioth | sutabi: please use official support when able, is the point i'm making | 06:55 |
| sutabi | oh | 06:55 |
| nalioth | cowbud: if you have a powerpc question, please ask it | 06:55 |
| DerangedDingo | niru: i think that can be done through a GTK2 theme or via gconf-editor | 06:55 |
| cowbud | nalioth: see that is my question. Does ubuntu still support PPC? | 06:55 |
| niru | DerangedDingo, I have added some lines in gtkrc-2.0 | 06:55 |
| niru | hidden file under root | 06:55 |
| windego40 | MidnighToker: yeah i go to add/ remove applications and install the legacy driver but its still running very slow | 06:56 |
| niru | but what it did is just added some patches ro the text | 06:56 |
| MidnighToker | windego40: what card is it? | 06:56 |
| nalioth | cowbud: YES. | 06:56 |
| === weldan is now known as centrinel | ||
| cowbud | nalioth: GODLIKE | 06:56 |
| niru | instead of chnaging the color | 06:56 |
| lockd | niru: i will figure out what to do after installing gconf-editor | 06:56 |
| windego40 | MidnighToker: xfx6800 xtreme | 06:56 |
| MidnighToker | thats not such an old card. it needs the legacy drivers? | 06:56 |
| windego40 | MidnighToker: well the others cant be installed for some reason | 06:57 |
| MidnighToker | windego40: i would sort out why, the legacy is not correct for that card | 06:57 |
| windego40 | MidnighToker: for the other drivers it says"NVidia binary X.Org driver ('new' driver) cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type." | 06:58 |
| MidnighToker | hehe, yeah, right | 06:59 |
| Tony_ | CubeXombi: lol okay I'm updating my changes to my xorg.conf file in gedit, but when I try to save back the file, It doesn't allow me, no permissions. Anyway to tell it to save from here, or do I have to safe the file elsewhere then copy it with sudo, or what? | 06:59 |
| windego40 | what? | 06:59 |
| niru | lockd, ok | 06:59 |
| MidnighToker | Tony_: run gedit with gksudo | 06:59 |
| DerangedDingo | Tony_: ie, gksu gedit /path/to/file | 06:59 |
| lockd | niru: not sure if that is an option anywhere in gconf-editor | 06:59 |
| MidnighToker | windego40: dont know, thats very odd. computer type has to be supported.... are you up to date with anything | 07:00 |
| MidnighToker | everything? | 07:00 |
| Tony_ | ach so, danke mein freunden | 07:00 |
| windego40 | MidnighToker: i believe so | 07:00 |
| kona | evening everyone | 07:00 |
| windego40 | hello | 07:00 |
| windego40 | MidnighToker: is there a way to make sure i am? | 07:01 |
| MidnighToker | windego40: any idea what version of a) xorg you're running / b) nvidia-drivers its trying to install? | 07:01 |
| MidnighToker | windego40: update manager? | 07:01 |
| Peddy | Is anyone having a problem, where in gutsy, the shutdown dialogue makes the screen go black for a split second? | 07:01 |
| cubedsi | is the only way to get direct x under linux to vmware windows? | 07:01 |
| nalioth | cubedsi: yep | 07:01 |
| MidnighToker | cubedsi: you mean let windows use DRI? | 07:01 |
| kona | Peddy - yeah | 07:01 |
| DerangedDingo | cubedsi: pretty much. | 07:01 |
| Peddy | kona: did you find a fix? | 07:01 |
| kona | not yet | 07:02 |
| cubedsi | DRI? | 07:02 |
| Peddy | kona: what graphics card do you have? | 07:02 |
| MidnighToker | direct rendoring.... accelerated 3d inside windows? direct x | 07:02 |
| kona | kyro 32 mb AGP card | 07:02 |
| windego40 | MidnightToker: i forgot to mention that i am new to linux. how would i check for those two conditions? | 07:02 |
| lockd | cubedsi: wine can also emulate directx, but only older versions and it's not perfect | 07:02 |

| cubedsi | yeah i want dx 10 | 07:03 |
| MidnighToker | windego40: sorry, i'm really new to ubuntu, i have no idea. -could talk you through it in a couple of others, but you want someone who's familiar with ubuntu | 07:03 |
| cubedsi | i have 2 geforce 8600gt 256mb | 07:03 |
| MidnighToker | cubedsi: it does DX8, and even then its only the DX7 calls that it supports properly, so give that one up | 07:03 |
| cubedsi | but couldn't i vmware xp 64 or vista 64? | 07:03 |
| lockd | cubedsi: chances are any of those games are going to require a full VM | 07:04 |
| lockd | cubedsi: If, and only if, you have a 64 bit processor | 07:04 |
| MidnighToker | cubedsi: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_vidsound_d3d.html | 07:04 |
| cubedsi | thanks guys | 07:04 |
| lockd | cubedsi: i think it may also take 64 bit linux | 07:04 |
| MidnighToker | cubedsi: yeah, 64bit processor and then you still cant use DX10 ;) | 07:04 |

| lockd | rubydiamond: but fully functional and ie6 are mutually exclusive | 07:05 |
| rubydiamond | lockd, will all the functionality will work? | 07:05 |

| windego40 | MidnighToker: ive tried enabling the accelerated graphics driver but it doesnt let me | 07:06 |
| bruenig | xxw, yeah they probably told you that because they didn't want to deal with an ubuntuer | 07:06 |
| rubydiamond | yea.. windows 95 was the biggest virus on the earth till date | 07:06 |
| xxw | okay... but, any one? | 07:06 |
| * MidnighToker still thinks 3.1 was ok | 07:06 | |
| Peddy | rubydiamond: you forgot Windows Vista | 07:06 |
| rubydiamond | MidnighToker, what is that? | 07:06 |
| lockd | hid3: mailutils | 07:06 |
| bruenig | xxw, but your question has nothing to do with ubuntu, it has to do with c | 07:06 |
| kona | I'm here | 07:06 |
| kona | I just hang out elsewhere is all | 07:06 |
| hid3 | lockd: thanks | 07:07 |

| newguyss | hi again, how do I do that * Set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to the pathname of the directory | 07:07 |
| newguyss | into which you installed the JDK release. | 07:07 |
| josiahw | how do i put a .img onto a flashdrive? | 07:07 |
| cHeChA_cE_EmO | ....always in heart... | 07:07 |
| Tony_ | Okay, so I got another one for ya: The reason I was playing with my vid driver was because when I try to view a flash video (like youtube), my whole machine locks up. Like I have to actually hold down my power button to restart. I tried using adobe flash, and the other one, but no cigar. The adobe one sort of worked, but also locked the machine up. I could move the mouse around, but... | 07:07 |
| Tony_ | ...that was it. So, two questions: 1) any way to interrupt in a situation like that and kill the offending app? and 2) why might it be happening in the first place? | 07:07 |
| lockd | hid3: it -should- be telling you this at the command prompt | 07:07 |
| kona | Nick is from a kona I used to ride. I ride a Cannondale now - actually I'm selling it. | 07:07 |
| kona | Peddy - NO. My card at 32 MB can't handle it. | 07:07 |
| MidnighToker | Tony_: you have amd64? | 07:07 |
| Kalamansi | how i couldnt find any drivers for my epson stylus cx2900 with scanner and print...anybody wants to help i appreciate it..thanks | 07:07 |
| Tony_ | Nope | 07:08 |

| cHeChA_cE_EmO | c'mon chat with me... | 07:09 |
| defrysk | newguyss, example export path setting : export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/jdk1.7.0/jre/bin/ | 07:09 |

| nalioth | cHeChA_cE_EmO: chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 07:09 |
| lockd | it's kind of interesting to find modern proprietary unix games in this millenium | 07:09 |
| kona | Ahhh I remember the old aMD athlon days. Thank goodness I have a 2.4 GHz P4 now. | 07:10 |
| newguyss | defrysk: thanks, but where is the JDK installed? i installed it from the synaptic manager and cant find it | 07:10 |
| MidnighToker | Tony_: odd. | 07:10 |
| Kalamansi | kona : but p4 2.4gh sucks | 07:10 |

| lockd | SpeakerMania: sudo touch /usr/share/mime-info/gimp.keys ? though I doubt that would work | 07:12 |
| cubedsi | checkout my pastebin if anyone wants to help me out with twinview and SLI | 07:12 |
| nalioth | alloos1: /msg nickserv help register | 07:12 |
| Tony_ | I thought Linux was supposed to be impervious to lock ups | 07:12 |
| defrysk | alloos1, if you want to know where java is installed you wil have to check the properties section of synaptic of the package you installed | 07:12 |
| SpeakerMania | lockd, Nope. I get "cannot touch `/usr/share/mime-info/gimp.keys': Input/output error" | 07:13 |

| lockd | i'm having a bit of a problem with midi playback - only calling timidity from the command line works | 07:14 |
| alloos1 | defrysk: thanks alot you are great help, but which file I need to change to get this: * Set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to the pathname of the directory | 07:15 |
| alloos1 | into which you installed the JDK release. | 07:15 |
| sn00zer | Tony_: did you try ctrl+alt+f1 then log in and use top to find the resource hog then kill <process id> | 07:15 |
| sn00zer | between those two methods i've pretty much always been able to avoid a hard reboot | 07:16 |
| Tony_ | I don't think I used ctrl alt f1, I'll check that one out | 07:16 |
| Tony_ | thx | 07:16 |
| sn00zer | Tony_: ctrl+alt+f7 should bring you back to gui | 07:16 |
| sn00zer | sometimes the switch takes a minute or two for the gui to come back | 07:16 |
| defrysk | alloos1, what would you like to do with setting path ? to get it to work in firefox ? | 07:18 |

| xTheGoat121x | So... it seems that something in Ubuntu randomly grabs my CPU cycles.... overall it's not that big of a deal, cuz all I have to do is restart... but I'd rather know what's causing it | 07:49 |
| choudesh | Lapinux: what no linux - restate your issue. | 07:49 |
| v1k1ng1001 | I'm having the same problem as jmdc and my screen doesn't look quite right | 07:49 |

| Lapinux | wow | 07:50 |
| Lapinux | choudesh: i get either error 2 or 17 from grub and no boot | 07:51 |
| jmdc | Let's make sure it really is the same: I'm using the alternative install cd, and a couple seconds after the installer starts up (a second or too after the logger daemons start up, I see a message flashed (too brief to read) and then the monitor goes into standby mode. | 07:51 |
| xTheGoat121x | choudesh, all right. I'll be doing my normal things (IM, Music, chat, etc), which normally only eats maybe 5-10% CPU... but sometimes, seemingly randomly, my CPU load will shoot up to 90-100% usage, and not come down, no matter what I close. I try looking at running processes, anything that might be using the CPU, but nothing shows. | 07:52 |

| firebird619 | I have a question. I have cable Internet and it is really slow tonight, and at times, I have to disconnect the power cord to the modem to reset it and then run sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart because web pages will not load at all. I have never had this problem and going by the modem lights, it isn't losing its signal. Aside from the possibility the net is just slow tonight, could it be something else, settings in Ubuntu or someth | 07:52 |
| * v1k1ng1001 did get broacom up and running | 07:52 | |
| Haemoth | xTheGoat121x: My NetworkManager did that to my CPU all the time. Check if you have the same problem. | 07:52 |
| xTheGoat121x | Haemoth, did it show up in your system monitor? | 07:53 |
| Haemoth | xTheGoat121x: Yeah it did. | 07:53 |
| choudesh | xTheGoat121x: I suffer the same issue. Accept my machine will stall. I am currently investigating the issue. I personally suspect the same issue that causes slow transfer. | 07:54 |
| themoebius | is there any reason why the eclipse-cdt package is still version 3.x instead of 4.x in gutsy? how can I get the new version? | 07:54 |
| xTheGoat121x | Haemoth, unfortunately, nothing shows up in System Monitor as eating the CPU cycles. | 07:54 |

| WinterWeaver | have any of you tried disabling IPv6 ?? I had slow app load time, and boot time, until I disabled IPv6. Now everything is better | 08:01 |
| v1k1ng1001 | he's planning ahead | 08:01 |
| jmdc | firebird619: hrm... do you have any way of testing this with other computers? | 08:01 |
| v1k1ng1001 | what is IPv6? | 08:01 |
| jmdc | IP is the internet protocol | 08:01 |
| holycow | oh! | 08:01 |
| nenolod | <CubeXombi> Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0" <-- Mean anything to anyone.. | 08:01 |
| choudesh | v1k1ng1001: 33GB of RAM is the optimum memory solution given the bottle neck of memory. please do the math and you will see. ;--) | 08:01 |
| holycow | okay here we go ... any sound experts around? here comes a question | 08:01 |
| jmdc | it is the numbers that web addresses are turned into | 08:01 |
| nenolod | CubeXombi, you're using fglrx OpenGL library without the fglrx driver | 08:02 |
| WinterWeaver | !ipv6 | 08:02 |
| ubotu | To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 08:02 |
| holycow | my gutsy RANDOMLY has sound on and off depending on the reboot ... this seems to be common on the forums | 08:02 |
| v1k1ng1001 | gotcha | 08:02 |
| jmdc | they are in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - clearly 100 billion numbers is not enough! ;-) | 08:02 |
| holycow | i've discovered that i have a /dev/audio and a /dev/audio1 device | 08:02 |
| choudesh | holycow: please link to the forums | 08:02 |
| holycow | it would seem that the wrong device is being chosen as the default one | 08:02 |
| holycow | how would that be set again? | 08:02 |
| CubeXombi | nenolod - well i guess that would explain why it's missing.. | 08:02 |
| holycow | choudesh: i don't want to spam i'll post a fix on the forums instead when i figure out why its defaulting to the wrong device | 08:03 |
| firebird619 | jmdc: no, unfortunately not. I have never had it act this way before where it is really slow and I have to restart networking or restart the pc. I have had cable a little over a year now. Before that I was on dial-up. | 08:03 |
| v1k1ng1001 | jmdc: did you catch this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 08:03 |
| jmdc | v1k1ng1001: Thanks! | 08:03 |
| choudesh | holycow: your more than welcome to think to the forums. | 08:03 |
| WinterWeaver | firebird | 08:04 |
| v1k1ng1001 | i've been reading some and I think the slow boot might be attributable to resolution issues | 08:04 |
| Alloosh | hi, iam getting this message in terminal what is that: main.c: WARNING: called SUID root, but not in group 'pulse-rt'. | 08:04 |
| WinterWeaver | !ipv6 > firebird619 | 08:04 |
| choudesh | holycow: ~link that is. | 08:04 |
| firebird619 | jmdc: I was able to get into here just fine, but for example, I cannot load any web sites right now, it times out. | 08:04 |

| choudesh | WinterWeaver: ;-) | 08:04 |
| WinterWeaver | ^_^ | 08:04 |
| choudesh | v1k1ng1001: why is that? | 08:05 |
| jmdc | firebird619: You might have a problem with dns. But, why that would show up now is hard to fathom | 08:05 |
| WinterWeaver | thx :P | 08:05 |
| v1k1ng1001 | I'm worried that ubuntu is hanging at boot because it does not detect my monitor on my lap top | 08:05 |
| firebird619 | WinterWeaver: Thanks, I will give that a try. Can't make it any slower when sites won't load in the first place. | 08:05 |
| choudesh | v1k1ng1001: please post your laptop | 08:05 |
| v1k1ng1001 | and this is why everything looks a little bit off even though ati drivers are installed | 08:05 |
| CubeXombi | killing X to find out .. WOOT MURDAH! | 08:06 |
| firebird619 | jmdc: Would using, for example OpenDNS or something help out. I have read about OpenDNS before but never used it on Linux. I used to use it on Windows though, when I used windows. | 08:06 |

| firebird619 | WinterWeaver: Thankfully the site with how to disable IPv6 loaded for me so I can read how to do it. :-) | 08:07 |

| CubeXombi | apparently fglrx will be the death of me | 08:08 |
| firebird619 | jmdc: nslookup google.com worked, it brought up the Server: and Address: very quickly. | 08:08 |
| MilitantPotat1 | viking, do the second command | 08:08 |
| v1k1ng1001 | yeah, I have that webpage already | 08:08 |
| v1k1ng1001 | it's a bit over my head | 08:09 |
| ztomic | CubeXombi: I have terrible luck with fglrx but the xserver drivers work fine. | 08:09 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ok | 08:09 |

| firebird619 | choudesh: I do know how to change the DNS addresses, but the www.opendns.com site won't load, nor will most sites. Could you tell me what the addresses are? If I remember from Windows, they are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Is that right? | 08:13 |
| MilitantPotat1 | v1k1ng1001: log out and back in, or do ctrl+alt+backspace if you dont have anything open | 08:13 |
| jmdc | firebird619: hey no problem. If it doesn't go away in a day or so come back here and some networking guru can perform the deep magic for you | 08:13 |
| ztomic | CubeXombi: the only problem is that Compiz doesn't work but- oh well! | 08:13 |
| choudesh | firebird619: seems to be a dns issue | 08:13 |
| choudesh | !dns | 08:13 |
| ubotu | DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, and is an internet system used to translate names into IP Address. | 08:13 |
| firebird619 | jmdc: Ok, Thanks. | 08:14 |
| CubeXombi | ztomic, hmmm compiz ran fine for me | 08:14 |
| jmdc | v1k1ng1001: I think I missed something. How is it that you have a console at all? | 08:14 |
| ztomic | CubeXombi: with xorg-ati driver? | 08:14 |
| firebird619 | choudesh: Would trying OpenDNS be a good idea then? Are those addresses that I typed the correct ones? | 08:15 |
| MilitantPotat1 | CubeXombi: what's going on? | 08:15 |
| pewpewarrows | I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop with an ATI graphics chip, and my glxgears is getting something like 80 FPS, is there something I might have forgotten to do? | 08:15 |

| CubeXombi | MilitantPotat1 - My drivers suck, but I'm trying to fix em.. | 08:16 |
| ztomic | CubeXombi: actually, and this is funny, Compiz works with my 7200 but not my 9550 using xorg driver. | 08:16 |
| MilitantPotat1 | whoa there's two of me? | 08:16 |
| firebird619 | jmdc: for OpenDNS. I can't load their site so I can't check them. 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220? | 08:16 |
| Jangari | how does one unsave a session? | 08:16 |
| MilitantPotat1 | CubeXombi: suck how? | 08:16 |
| v1k1ng1001 | the compiz cube is pretty cool | 08:16 |
| v1k1ng1001 | at least that's working now | 08:17 |
| ztomic | MilitantPotat1: it's ATI | 08:17 |

| MilitantPotato | Jangari: that's what I had to do | 08:18 |
| firebird619 | jmdc: Ok, I can leave DNS how it is then. I did disable IPv6. I will restart the PC now and see if there is any improvement. | 08:18 |

| firebird619 | jmdc: Yes, and it probably is, but I have never had slow performance from my ISP. I will restart now and see what happens. Thank you all for your help. | 08:20 |
| v1k1ng1001 | something to that effect | 08:20 |

| jmdc | firebird619: see you | 08:20 |
| v1k1ng1001 | and I think that is what is causing my boot to hang | 08:20 |
| v1k1ng1001 | but I'm not sure | 08:20 |
| Jangari | no | 08:20 |
| pewpewarrows | MilitantPotato: it doesn't say any restricted drivers are available. and my fglrxinfo shows OpenGL vendor Tungsten Graphics and renderer as Mesa, which just seems wrong | 08:21 |

| v1k1ng1001 | yeah, it reports the right screen resolution | 08:22 |

| MilitantPotato | pewpewarrows: what model of ATI card? | 08:22 |
| buttercups | v1k1ng1001, well once you reboot, you wont be using the fglrx driver anymore, the one you wanted info about earlier | 08:23 |
| v1k1ng1001 | MilitantPotato, although I might be paranoid because I know the login screen is definitely bigger...and I suspect it has something to do with my slow boot time | 08:23 |

| hazman | Hey, has anyone tried sharing music with their xbox 360 though linux? I know it can be done with a bunch of apps in doze, but sid log into doze just for that | 09:14 |
| ikonia | hazman: any upnp service will work | 09:14 |
| Kalamansi | Slart: question is, is it free?ubuntu is free thats why i choice ubuntu | 09:14 |
| ikonia | hazman: and try to use proper names for things so people know what your talking about - its called "windows" not "doze" | 09:14 |
| ztomic | CubeXombi: dedicated HD? no dual boot? swap good size? RAM large? | 09:15 |
| Slart | Kalamansi: yes.. I think it's based on debian.. | 09:15 |
| jmdc | Slart: yeah, that's right | 09:15 |
| Kalamansi | so i will uninstall ubuntu? | 09:15 |
| CubeXombi | <ztomic yup nope decent enough, 768M | 09:15 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: install over the top | 09:15 |
| Alloosh | ikonia: tried it but didnt work I think, lets make the question how do I change the owner to myself, because the owner now is root and I want the owner to be alloosh | 09:15 |
| ikonia | Alloosh: man chown | 09:16 |
| ikonia | Alloosh: don't forget sudo | 09:16 |
| ztomic | CubeXombi: about 1GHz proc speed? maybe slower. | 09:16 |
| CubeXombi | <ztomic 1.6 | 09:16 |
| Alloosh | ikonia: I have been doing that, would you be so kind and give me the command for once:) | 09:16 |
| Slart | Kalamansi: if you want to run ipcop you'll have to uninstall ubuntu.. or run ipcop from a usb drive.. it's very small.. but take a look for yourself.. I don't remember the url but googling for ipcop should get you there | 09:16 |

| Chrisnotbad | I can't seem to find an easy way to install the latest flash for firefox. I download the flash installer to mydesktop but can't seem to run it in terminal. I am a complete noob | 09:19 |
| tafsen | When I try to install a theme from System > Preference > Appearance it only tells me that I entered the wrong password. Why is that? I haven't entered any password | 09:19 |
| hazman | ikonia: the method doesn't work as simply as simply sharing files say under samba, but uses a method called window media sharing or something similar, would a upnp service still allow for this? | 09:19 |
| Slart | Bollinger: it restarts at some interval? once a day? once a week? | 09:19 |
| ikonia | hazman: no, it doesn't work like that | 09:19 |
| Bollinger | Slart, lots and lots of -MARK- interval seem random | 09:19 |
| ikonia | upnp is what windows communicates with the xbox over | 09:20 |
| Slart | Bollinger: hmm.. nothing in kernel logs? | 09:20 |
| ztomic | tafsen: enter your password | 09:20 |
| tafsen | ztomic: It don't ask for a password | 09:20 |
| Bollinger | Slart, I can't look atm. My brother has turned the box off | 09:20 |
| void^ | Bollinger: -mark- is just used to indicate it is still running when nothing else is happening. | 09:21 |

| ztomic | tafsen: can't help you. | 09:21 |
| marek` | on boot i'm getting erorrs like | 09:21 |
| Bollinger | void^, Ah thanks, I was wondering what it meams | 09:21 |
| Alloosh | ikonia: thanks alot, figured it out | 09:21 |
| void^ | Chrisnotbad: and did you try simply installing flashplugin-nonfree? | 09:21 |
| Alloosh | ikonia: it goes like chown owner file_or_bath_to_file_ir_dir | 09:21 |
| hazman | ikonia: yeah, i thought so | 09:22 |
| ikonia | Alloosh I know how to use chown | 09:22 |
| ikonia | Alloosh: I told YOU have to use chown | 09:22 |
| tafsen | ztomic: Thanks anyway | 09:22 |
| Slart | Bollinger: ok.. check that when you're able to... I don't know of any valid reasons for a ububtu box to restart on it's own.. I'm not sure about updates but doing a restart without some kind of user intervention seems like a really bad idea | 09:22 |
| ikonia | Slart: it doesn't do it without any user interaction | 09:23 |
| Alloosh | ikonia: I know and I said thanks, and told you I figured it out:) actually iam happy because you didnt give me the command directly as I asked:) | 09:23 |
| Slart | ikonia: thanks | 09:23 |
| void^ | sudden reboots are usually hardware issues | 09:23 |
| ikonia | Alloosh: whatever........ | 09:24 |
| Chrisnotbad | is there an easy way to install flash for firefox in ubuntu? | 09:25 |
| ikonia | Chrisnotbad: get the "flash-nonfree" package | 09:25 |
| Chrisnotbad | I download the lastest flash to my desktop for linux | 09:26 |
| ztomic | void^ leave hardware to hardware folk. | 09:26 |
| ikonia | Chrisnotbad: thats not what I said to do | 09:26 |
| ikonia | Chrisnotbad: get the "flash-nonfree" package | 09:26 |
| Chrisnotbad | So I have to pay to have the latest flash for unbuntu | 09:26 |
| v1k1ng1001 | i think these graphical issues are a dealbreaker | 09:26 |

| elkbuntu | Chrisnotbad, no, when we say 'non-free' it means 'non-liberated' :) | 09:26 |
| ikonia | Chrisnotbad: get the "flash-nonfree" package out of the ubuntu repo's using the ubuntu package manager | 09:26 |

| Xdange1 | v1k1ng1001: why? | 09:27 |
| ikonia | Cheo: what sucks ? | 09:27 |
| Cheo | 7.10 | 09:27 |
| friedrich | Hi | 09:27 |
| ikonia | Cheo: not really, but everyone has opinions | 09:27 |
| Chrisnotbad | is the package manager a program? | 09:27 |
| Cheo | true | 09:27 |
| Cheo | how do I get to wine help? | 09:27 |
| friedrich | What's the usal way of kernel recompilation? I've found a bug and patch for it | 09:27 |
| Cheo | Im sorry im new | 09:27 |
| ikonia | Cheo: join #winehq | 09:27 |
| friedrich | I mean usual ubuntu way | 09:27 |
| ztomic | Cheo: /join #wine | 09:28 |
| Cheo | do I just type it here | 09:28 |
| v1k1ng1001 | xdangel: I've gotten ati and broadcom working for the first time, but I can't seem to get a handle on a few graphical issues | 09:28 |
| Cheo | Thx | 09:28 |
| ikonia | Chrisnotbad: yes, I suggest you read the docs on http://www.ubuntu.com to get a basic overview of how ubuntu works | 09:28 |
| Slart | Chrisnotbad: yes.. it's called synaptic.. or apt-* (apt-get, apt-cache etc) | 09:28 |
| MilitantPotato | friedrich: i was told never to do a kernel recompile unless I knew exactly what I was doing | 09:28 |
| v1k1ng1001 | xdangel: also, i can't figure out why ubuntu takes 3 mins to boot :( | 09:28 |
| ikonia | MilitantPotato: thats fair advice | 09:29 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: turn the splash screen off and look at wait lags in the boot process | 09:29 |
| Chrisnotbad | Well I appreciate the help, atleast I have some clue now. | 09:29 |
| lars_ | i did something dumb and i need some (simple) help | 09:29 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia, there is no splash screen! | 09:29 |
| Slart | v1k1ng1001: that's an awful long wait.. perhaps something is timing out.. ipv6 dns lookup? dhcp? sometihng else | 09:29 |
| ztomic | lars_: ask | 09:29 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: so what part of the boot process is hanging ? | 09:30 |
| ikonia | lars_: ask the question then | 09:30 |
| lars_ | did a new install and copied over my home directory, only i did it as root and now things are obviously fucked | 09:30 |
| friedrich | MilitantPotato, I know exactly what I am doing - system is hanging every hour or two. And I did it often in good old times. | 09:30 |
| ikonia | lars_: that language is totally uncalled for | 09:30 |
| ikonia | lars_: if you want help, be polite and show some manners to people | 09:30 |
| lars_ | if that wasn't an auto responce, im sorry | 09:30 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia, grub loads, but then screen goes black for three minutes before i can log in -- i'm guessing to a default login screen? | 09:31 |
| ikonia | lars_: that wasn't an auto response | 09:31 |
| friedrich | I just need to make a one-string patch. What's the usual way of recompilation in ubuntu, I worked in RHEL before... | 09:31 |
| lars_ | i guessed by the second | 09:31 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: hmmmm you don't see anything like the boot process, just a total black screen | 09:31 |
| erUSUL | !kernel | 09:31 |
| ubotu | 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 | 09:31 |
| lars_ | would chmodding everyhting in my home directory to 644 work? | 09:31 |
| ikonia | friedrich: same technique, different package manager | 09:31 |
| ikonia | lars_: chmod and chown | 09:31 |
| Kalamansi | ok thanks ill try that | 09:32 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia, yeah, totally black | 09:32 |
| MilitantPotato | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 09:32 |
| friedrich | ikonia, I see. I've fond config... So make bzImage. God bless me :) | 09:32 |
| MilitantPotato | too slow. | 09:32 |
| lars_ | i think i did somehting wiht chown, i'll try chmod | 09:32 |
| Kalamansi | but first i will try ikonia's idea | 09:32 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia, there are lots of forum posts about this, happens whether I install i86 or 64 | 09:32 |
| friedrich | MilitantPotato, thanks | 09:32 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: its one of two things 1.) your vga frame buffer options are out of sync 2.) your splash screen is borked. v1k1ng1001 try setting the vga option to "ask" in the boot process | 09:32 |
| ikonia | friedrich: you'll need to package it up with the dpkg package manager or it will break your package manager | 09:33 |
| Slart | oh.. my splash screen doesn't work either.. didn't work properly on 7.04 nor 7.10 | 09:33 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia; how do i do #1 ??? :D | 09:33 |
| ikonia | vigneswari: set "vga=ask" as a boot parameter | 09:33 |
| Chrisnotbad | Has anyone heard of Linux for Play staytion 3? | 09:34 |
| friedrich | ikonia, not very important, I will not change it for a time | 09:34 |
| ikonia | friedrich: yes, but the package manager will ! | 09:34 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia, i guess it would be #1 because both gutsy and mint 4.0 aren't looking right | 09:35 |
| ikonia | Chrisnotbad: yes | 09:35 |
| v1k1ng1001 | but i have no idea how to fix it | 09:35 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: no, thats a terrible guess | 09:35 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: why have you not done what I suggested instead of still complaining about it | 09:35 |
| Chrisnotbad | I would run linux on it instead of my mac since my PS3 has a 3.2ghz processor, but their is no video acceleration yet | 09:35 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia, because I don't know how? | 09:35 |
| Chrisnotbad | I hope they will fix that soon | 09:36 |
| ikonia | Chrisnotbad: linux on the PS3 is not worth the effort, it will not be fixed due to hypervisor abstraction layers | 09:36 |
| MilitantPotato | v1k1ng1001: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:36 |
| void^ | ztomic: and given the sparse information hardware folks would suggest it usually is a software issue, i guess? ;) | 09:36 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: then ask - don't sit their complaining that it doesn't work | 09:36 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: add vga=ask to the boot line in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:36 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia, i did ask, look up! | 09:36 |
| Chrisnotbad | Is that part of the video acceleration? | 09:36 |
| ikonia | Chrisnotbad: no, | 09:37 |
| chazco | Hi... is there a way to run a shell script when a USB mass storage device is connected? I want to determine if a certain device is plugged in and if so copy a file from it (automatically) | 09:37 |
| Chrisnotbad | What is the short of it? Hyper visor abstraction layers? | 09:38 |
| ikonia | chazco: possibly through udev and/or hal | 09:38 |
| ShuMocker | ey guys, can I install the grub bootloader even though I don't have linux installed? | 09:38 |
| ikonia | Chrisnotbad: the way ps3 allows hardware access | 09:38 |
| MilitantPotato | v1k1ng1001: at the end of the line that has... | 09:38 |
| ikonia | ShuMocker: you can, but there would be little point | 09:38 |
| MilitantPotato | kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root= | 09:38 |
| Slart | chazco: I would take a look at udev.. see if there is anything there that might support some scripting | 09:38 |
| jmdc | ShuMocker yes | 09:38 |
| MilitantPotato | i believe that's where you add vga=ask | 09:38 |
| MilitantPotato | at the very end of that line | 09:38 |
| ikonia | MilitantPotato: correct | 09:38 |
| chazco | ok, thanks :) | 09:38 |
| ShuMocker | oh great, thanks, thats all I needed to know :D | 09:39 |
| Chrisnotbad | I know this will sound stupid, but I still want to run Mac Osx on my 16mhz Mac SE/30 with linux | 09:39 |

| MilitantPotato | v1k1ng1001: and one of us will add it for you. | 09:40 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ok | 09:40 |
| ikonia | kise: crc is basiclly checksumming of the disk | 09:40 |
| v1k1ng1001 | there are two lines | 09:41 |
| v1k1ng1001 | i'll post | 09:41 |
| Chrisnotbad | I think it would be possible to run osx on a 68k machine through emulation. Bootups might take a few days, but like I said it's just to do it. | 09:41 |
| MilitantPotato | ikonia: does it need to be in the failsafe line aswell? | 09:41 |

| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia, the hang happens whether or not I install i86 or 64 bit | 09:43 |

| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia, currently installed i86 | 09:43 |

| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: was it a clean install or an upgrade or anything like that | 09:44 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: is there anything unusual about that install that you've not mentioned | 09:44 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia, clean installs every time | 09:44 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: and its %100 ubuntu 7.10 | 09:45 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia, no, a lot of people on the forums with this problem, no clear solution | 09:45 |
| kise | how can i fix that, never had any trouble with this on 7.04 | 09:45 |
| MilitantPotato | ikonia: would the HD's DMA be working during boot? | 09:45 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: that doesn't look like a gutsy boot line as gutsy should be referencing the disk via UUID not /dev/hda7 | 09:45 |
| ikonia | MilitantPotato: I don't think its anything like that | 09:46 |
| gordonjcp | Rainpoint: read the winehq website - there's a knowledgebase for what works and what doesn't | 09:46 |
| MilitantPotato | ikonia: is that UUID a MD5? | 09:46 |

| jehysson | hola alguien habla español | 09:46 |
| Frogzoo | !appdb | Rainpoint: | 09:46 |

| ubotu | Rainpoint:: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 09:46 |
| ikonia | MilitantPotato: no, its a method of accessing the hard disk | 09:46 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia: i'm triple booting at the moment, but like I said, i've installed gutsy several times and this still happens | 09:46 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: tripple booting ? with what | 09:47 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia: grub | 09:47 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: no, what other OS's | 09:47 |
| sylverfox | when i want to install the nvidia driver, after installing nvidia-glx i Can't install nvidia-settings, without removeing nvidia-glx, COULD anybody tell me if this is normal??? | 09:47 |
| jehysson | HOLA ALQUIEN HABLA ESPAÑOL | 09:47 |
| v1k1ng1001 | ikonia: xp, linux mint 4 (which does not hang) | 09:47 |
| ikonia | !es >jehysson | 09:47 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: I think thats a key factor in your issues, other distros overwrite grub with their own version of grub. | 09:47 |
| ikonia | v1k1ng1001: can you show me your boot line again please. | 09:48 |
| darkclown | hey, could someone plz tell me the CLI command to list all the hardware? | 09:48 |
| ikonia | darkclown: lshw | 09:48 |
| darkclown | ikonia: thanks your a lifesaver :) | 09:48 |
| void^ | sylverfox: nvidia-settings is part of nvidia-glx. and if you have some nvidia newer than geforce4 you might want to use nvidia-glx-new instead. | 09:48 |

| ikonia | BenWartig: post a link to the bug ? | 09:58 |
| Jangari | sweet, cheers | 09:58 |
| Flannel | Jangari: that wont search just universe though, if you care | 09:58 |

| Rainpoint | I'm trying to run Civ 4 on my laptop, which runs Gutsy Gibbon. I've already installed wine. Do I need to copy the game folder over into the wine folder? | 09:59 |
| Jangari | that won't search *just* the universe? | 09:59 |
| BenWartig | no lts 6.01 | 09:59 |

| Jangari | that's good, innit? | 10:00 |
| ikonia | BenWartig: the problem and solution are spelt out in the link, | 10:00 |
| Flannel | Jangari: Its certainly not bad | 10:00 |
| mikebeecham | I wonder if someone can help me. I am a ubuntu beginner after installing it last night. All of a sudden my titlebar has dissapeared on ALL windows, and there is no text when I open up my terminal manager...could anyone possibkly help me? | 10:00 |
| Jangari | but probably cumbersome and somewhat hard to eyeball? | 10:01 |
| Flannel | Jangari: Not really, no. More than likely you'll need to pipe it to less anyway. | 10:01 |
| BenWartig | thats right, i tried to do the workaround and installed the kernel backport but i have no idea how to get the modules working | 10:01 |
| Jangari | i've noticed searching using add programs for 'virus' returns one result, the gui interface for clam, but searching in a terminal returns about a hundred | 10:01 |
| rodelli | I have pulseaudio configured and running including esd compat, but it creates a /tmp/.esd folder (and sockets) tied to my user and when i logon with another user.. the esdcompat can't read the socket created by the first user.... can anyone help me? | 10:01 |
| ikonia | BenWartig what have you done to get the modules working ? | 10:02 |
| lars_ | ummm, i tried "sudo chmod -R 644 /home/lars" and now it's worse | 10:02 |
| Flannel | Jangari: Using synaptic? or add/remove? Synaptic searches the same as what apt-cache will (everything). Make sure you're seraching "names and descriptions" though, and not just names in synaptic | 10:02 |
| lars_ | much worse | 10:02 |
| Jangari | yeah,that's about right | 10:02 |
| nucco | is pidgin hanging randomly for anyone here? | 10:03 |

| mikebeecham | Jangari : Sorry, what do you mean by panels? | 10:08 |
| kane77 | ikonia, (to that firefox question) | 10:08 |
| nucco | ikonia: pidgin will put messages in the syslog? | 10:08 |
| Jangari | the things at the top and bottom of the screen | 10:08 |

| Jangari | with your workspace switcher | 10:08 |
| ikonia | nucco no, but ubuntu may complain about other things that you don't know | 10:08 |
| Jangari | etc., | 10:08 |
| mikebeecham | rodelli : Yes I have an nVidia 7600GT, and i have enabled restricted drviers? | 10:08 |

| mikebeecham | rubydiamond : Sans I think | 10:09 |

| Jangari | andsimilarly on the bottom, only with different buttons | 10:10 |
| BenWartig | at the moment the server runs with the workaround (raid works with 2.6.17 kernel) but wed like to run the 2.6.15 with raid drivers (is it possible to do this?) | 10:10 |
| mikebeecham | Jangari: : I have that ok...it's just my windows that are the issue. the panels are fine, and they never change..but no titlebars on any window that would pop up or appear | 10:10 |
| Jangari | hmm, | 10:10 |
| Jangari | curious | 10:10 |
| rodelli | mikebeecham: Yes, use restricted drivers and make sure that (Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True") are in your device section of the xorg.conf | 10:11 |
| nucco | mikebeecham: are you using desktop-effects? | 10:11 |
| mikebeecham | Jangari: : yes..>I have been onto the forums, and googled the issue, which seems to be kind of common place, but I cant get an answer or resolution | 10:11 |

| mikebeecham | nucco: see, I was getting onto that as well :( | 10:13 |
| rodelli | mikebeecham: you problem is related to a misconfigured drivers... and this problem appears when you try to use desktop effects... so lets disable desktop effects before correct the problem | 10:14 |
| mikebeecham | nucco: when I open up the terminal, all there is is a white window, I cannot see any text and none appear when I type | 10:14 |
| nucco | mikebeecham: so you should disable desktop effects, and perhaps rodelli can help you out | 10:14 |
| Jangari | run it from a console then? | 10:14 |

| roooss | prograssive, how can i show you? | 10:42 |
| nucco | wally_: that means whatever it is that caused the failure might have corrupted the windows partition. i'm guessing it was a power cut | 10:42 |
| Crozar | progreSSive, go to sound options and fiddle around abit with the settings you might fix your PCI sound card or else you must check out how to appoint settings manually to the PCI card :/ | 10:42 |
| Crozar | progreSSive, its a conflict but lets hope for future updates ;) | 10:42 |

| ikonia | BenWartig: you have to repackage your initrd file, this is normally done at kernel build time, however the kernel build guide should walk you though that | 10:50 |
| eckesicle | wally_, okay so then the drive is not physically damaged | 10:50 |
| Myrtti | tritty: so you not having trouble with your display driver (in Windows) doesn't mean that you couldn't have problems with it while installing ubuntu | 10:50 |

| n3ll0 | irc.oltreirc.net | 11:43 |
| z1pp3r | kilonux, i would start looking at the error X is giving | 11:43 |
| z1pp3r | ./var/log/xorg.log maybe | 11:44 |
| justinp1 | kilonux: and ~/.xsession-errors | 11:44 |
| brobostigon | try the system log viewer in /system admin | 11:45 |

| mikebeecham | Can anyone tell me what the real difference between all the *buntu distros is, apart from interface...is there any real benefit in going from one to the other? | 11:48 |
| meng | is there a simple workaround for the adobe flash bug in ubuntu? | 11:48 |
| bmt2 | hello to all | 11:48 |
| z1pp3r | mikebeecham, you get a different window manager.... and thats about it | 11:48 |
| bmt2 | i am trying to dertermine what "interface" is runing my wireless conneciton.... i thought it was "wmaster0"...but that is not it ! | 11:49 |
| mikebeecham | ok z1pp3r...so it's all down to personal preference? | 11:49 |
| z1pp3r | yes | 11:49 |
| Mortice | bmt2: type 'sudo iwconfig' on a terminal and it should tell you. | 11:49 |
| bmt2 | I want to put a icon at the bottom of the screen where the rest of my icons are at | 11:49 |
| bmt2 | Mortice: thanks, i will try that | 11:50 |
| z1pp3r | mikebeecham, ofcourse the applications are different, since kubuntu will mostly use kde applications, and gnome will use, well, gnome applications. | 11:50 |
| z1pp3r | as default anyway, feel free to change that | 11:50 |
| mikebeecham | z1pp3r: ...I'm a complete linux noob, so I need to ask the questions!! :D | 11:50 |
| Haemoth | meng, what bug? | 11:50 |
| z1pp3r | hell, you can run both kde and gnome if you want, and select which to use on each login | 11:51 |
| mikebeecham | installed it last night | 11:51 |
| bmt2 | Mortice: i got wmaster0, and wlan0 | 11:51 |
| mikebeecham | love it, but it is a tad confusing on, well, most of it :D | 11:51 |
| Haemoth | I got wmaster0 too but I don't know what it is | 11:51 |
| meng | the play youtube then it crashes due to high cpu use bug | 11:51 |
| z1pp3r | mikebeecham, everything is in the beginning =) | 11:51 |
| Mortice | bmt2: well, logic dictates that if wmaster0 isn't the one you want, then wlan0 is :) | 11:51 |
| mikebeecham | indeed | 11:51 |
| john | vfv | 11:51 |
| mikebeecham | the font thing is strange for me...the fonts are wider than I'm used to at the moment | 11:52 |
| mikebeecham | lol | 11:52 |
| mikebeecham | being a designer I notice the aestheitc, I guess | 11:52 |
| z1pp3r | hmm? | 11:52 |
| meng | mikebeecham>do you want a windows look or are you aiming for something different | 11:52 |
| john | lbfb | 11:52 |
| z1pp3r | meng, fonts should not be different in windows | 11:52 |
| mikebeecham | meng: I dont mind them at all...I'm not sure I want to re-produce windows in linux...that seems a tad foolish to me | 11:52 |
| john | ca u help me | 11:52 |
| z1pp3r | mikebeecham, you sure you have microsoft fonts installed? | 11:52 |
| mikebeecham | it's just a matter of transition, I guess | 11:53 |
| z1pp3r | !fonts | 11:53 |
| ubotu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 11:53 |
| meng | <mikebeecham>well some people are so ingrained with the windows way, so i thought i should ask | 11:53 |
| meng | <z1pp3r>i am not even asking about fonts | 11:53 |
| meng | lol | 11:53 |

| drunkmuppet | Hai anyone here that can help? | 13:32 |
| drunkmuppet | Probably something easy... | 13:32 |
| kae | hi there ;) | 13:33 |
| richard | what's the problem, I'll give it a try | 13:33 |
| drunkmuppet | Alright. so When I open new windows. | 13:33 |
| drunkmuppet | The top toolbar starts above the screen | 13:33 |
| kae | do anyone use virtualbox or do know how its room is called (if there is one)? | 13:33 |
| richard | drunkmuppet: let me think for a moment | 13:34 |
| drunkmuppet | ok. If you need a screenshot of what im talking about I can do that. | 13:34 |
| drunkmuppet | It's not the case where the toolbar is not there. Ie. problem with windows decorations. | 13:34 |
| richard | you mean the titlebar from any windows? | 13:35 |
| drunkmuppet | yes | 13:35 |
| richard | window? | 13:35 |
| richard | ok | 13:35 |
| drunkmuppet | let me disable effects and see if it happens. | 13:35 |
| drunkmuppet | That will help narrow down the source. | 13:35 |
| sn00zer | kae: i have virtualbox, haven't used it yet tho | 13:35 |
| richard | and if you move the window down, do you see the titlebar? | 13:35 |
| drunkmuppet | yea. And then it can't go back above. | 13:35 |
| drunkmuppet | ok so the problem is def with advance effects | 13:36 |
| richard | I had the problem that the titlebar was completely missing | 13:36 |
| === OmlkRoNiXz is now known as OmIkRoNiXz | ||
| drunkmuppet | yea. I've read solutions to that. But my titlebar is visible | 13:36 |
| richard | if you use compiz try: compiz --replace | 13:36 |
| richard | ok | 13:36 |
| kae | virtualbox is really really great | 13:37 |
| kae | it runs very well here and i don't have mouse issues as i had with vmware | 13:37 |
| richard | Than I do not have a solution for you, drunkmuppet, maybe someone else??? | 13:37 |
| drunkmuppet | Well I seemed to have fixed it. | 13:38 |
| richard | how?? | 13:38 |
| drunkmuppet | Now windows open in bottom right. Like I want them too. | 13:38 |
| drunkmuppet | I selected to use | 13:38 |

| roe | how do I tell gnome to hide dotfiles | 13:39 |
| gcolourAga | Hmmm. | 13:39 |

| Templar | hi there - gusty seems to have recked my monitor and now its messing with an old one - even though it has detected the correct monitor anyone else had problems | 13:40 |

| gcolourAga | Anyone know WHY macbooks are so rotten when you do SSH to an ubuntu install? | 13:40 |
| K3rl0u4rn | hi people, how do I find which applications accesses a file or device ? | 13:40 |
| gcolourAga | Specifically when I use screen. | 13:41 |
| K3rl0u4rn | I mean which currently have an opened handle on such device / file | 13:41 |
| FallenHitokiri | K3rl0u4rn: lsof | 13:41 |
| sn00zer | roe: try alt+h | 13:41 |
| roe | all of the files/folders that begin with a '.' like .ssh .gnupg .mozilla etc, terminal hides them unless I issue an -a to ls | 13:41 |
| K3rl0u4rn | FallenHitokiri: thanks | 13:41 |
| gcolourAga | roe | 13:42 |
| IdleOne | ahh roe then click on VIEW in nautilus and uncheck show hidden files | 13:42 |
| IdleOne | roe alth should also hide them | 13:42 |
| gcolourAga | You can make an alias in your .profile to bind ls to ls -lah | 13:42 |
| gcolourAga | If you want ls to show all files. | 13:42 |

| Templar | ya | 13:44 |
| Templar | flickering then few days later smell of burning | 13:45 |
| Templar | then bang its dead | 13:45 |
| minus198 | Please! Can someone help me! I've asked this question probably around 10 times now... | 13:45 |
| gcolourAga | CRT's? | 13:45 |
| minus198 | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2055/ | 13:45 |

| Templar | crt ya | 13:45 |
| richard | I got an old monitor on an old pc with gutsy installed and had it on for a few days, not any problem | 13:45 |
| minus198 | Why do I have that, and why cant I do: "dpkg-reconfigure locales" | 13:45 |
| IdleOne | I dont have that issue. do you have the monitor plugged into a "power bar" or direct to the wall. maybe it is getting a surge from the outlet | 13:45 |
| dmi3on | hi all i cant connect program to internet with wine can any one help plz | 13:46 |
| dmi3on | what other program i can use to run windos soft ? | 13:46 |
| IdleOne | dmi3on: #winehq | 13:46 |
| Templar | no sur charge from the wall for sure cause have a dual boot with xp too and this flickering only happens with gusty | 13:46 |
| Templar | fiesty gave no trouble | 13:47 |
| sn00zer | Templar: has gusty killed any LCD's? | 13:47 |
| richard | dmi3on: WineX or Cedeca are also some windows emulators | 13:47 |
| gcolourAga | Templar: are you giving a wrong refresh rate or something? | 13:47 |
| Templar | dont know bout the LCDs on have a dead crt and one that will be dead soon by the looks of it | 13:48 |
| IdleOne | Templar: you should probably report this to launchpad.net but I dont think that there would be anything in gutsy that could cause something like that | 13:48 |
| dag_dg | sorry to interrupt, however I'm having some issues with metacity I believe. Before I upgraded to gutsy I had smart windows placement working, now my windows will just automatically overlap each other. How would I go about fixing this?(I'm not using compiz) | 13:48 |
| gcolourAga | Some old CRT's don't like that. | 13:48 |
| Templar | but it auto detects the monitor | 13:48 |
| gcolourAga | Then manually set it to a lower refresh rate. Do they run on their supported resolutions? | 13:48 |
| Templar | ya its matching the manual from what i can see - could there be a bug in the OS somehow or part of corrupted from a scratched cd or something when i installed it | 13:50 |
| rubydiamond | #rubyonrails | 13:50 |

| gcolourAga | When you send 'invalid' data to a monitor it just does not show anything :) | 13:51 |
| Templar | ya? | 13:51 |

| kane77 | hi.. how do I recover grub? I tried to install gentoo and it just overwritten my ubuntu grub and now it gives "error 15" | 13:56 |
| slackern | colourAgga, i think i read something about a similar issue before, it was in a swedish forum though but i can go and check if i can find it again | 13:56 |
| colourAgga | It's not that I have ubuntu on my macbook, it's just the key settings are all mixed up when I ssh to my ubuntu pc :) | 13:57 |
| colourAgga | slackern: i'd love that :) | 13:57 |
| colourAgga | Especially when I use screen, even the backspace key doesn't work when I use screen :p | 13:57 |
| slackern | colourAgga, if im not remembering totally wrong it was something about that it was using the wrong terminal emulation or something, but i'll check first before saying anything more | 13:57 |
| sorteal | I'm curious has anyone else had problems getting the boot up progress bar to display with nvidia 8xxx cards? | 13:58 |
| richard | kane77: You can boot from live CD and restore the grub from the terminal | 13:58 |
| kane77 | richard, but how? | 13:59 |
| richard | You have type in the terminal: grub | 13:59 |
| alexmatos | anyone here using Dejavu Sans Condensed in OpenOffice? | 13:59 |
| richard | kane77: one moment... I'll check for the right commands | 13:59 |
| sorteal | no but why? | 13:59 |
| richard | kane77: you need to type: sudo grub | 13:59 |
| bullgard4 | What does 'sdb' stand for in 'Inbox.sbd' of Evolution?(http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-export-your-mails-from-evolution-to-thunderbird.html) | 13:59 |
| bullgard4 | err!.sbd | 14:00 |
| z1pp3r | Is it possible to make boot up, and shutting down a little more verbose than just watching the progress bar? Like, showing what services are starting/stopping | 14:00 |
| richard | then you type: root (hd0,0) | 14:00 |
| colourAgga | slackern: i thought the same but i just don't seem to find the settings :( | 14:00 |
| richard | when your ubuntu root partion is sda1 or hda1 | 14:00 |
| Pici | bullgard4: sounds like SuBDirectory. | 14:00 |
| richard | if it is hda2 or sda2 you type: root (hd0,1) | 14:01 |
| richard | next step is typing: setup (hd0) | 14:01 |
| richard | now close grub by typing: quit | 14:01 |
| kane77 | richard, er I have sda and hda I want to have grub on hda | 14:01 |
| richard | I have a complete instruction, but it is in dutch: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/documentatie/overig/grubherstel/ | 14:02 |

| slackern | colourAgga, i found something similar, not the thing i was looking for but here goes (quick translation) "One simple way to solve this is to change your charmap in Terminal.App to the same charmap that is running on the linux machine" This is mostly to solve that certain keys doesn't work like the swedish "åäö" but it should be the same | 14:03 |
| kane77 | Pici, is it the same if I want to recover after installing gentoo?? | 14:03 |

| z1pp3r | dmi3on, you could buy cedega (not expensive) which has better directX support than wine, and is made for running games in linux. | 14:07 |

| sorteal | have you tried Automatix2 for installing swiftfox? | 14:12 |
| erUSUL | !automatix | 14:12 |
| ubotu | automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 14:12 |
| sethk | simu, doesn't work is a bit vague. What do you see, exactly? | 14:12 |
| sethk | erUSUL, some of those "not recommended" are political and/or license issues. | 14:13 |
| z1pp3r | and "will break your system" issues | 14:13 |
| sethk | z1pp3r, I said "some of those not recommended", not all | 14:13 |
| erUSUL | sethk: in the case of automatix is a technical issue | 14:14 |
| z1pp3r | sethk, how can you decide to just use "some" of an application? | 14:14 |
| erUSUL | sethk: check the blog post | 14:14 |
| sethk | erUSUL, ok. I'd like to see two different types of "not recommended", so one can know | 14:14 |
| sethk | z1pp3r, We decide to just some of an application constantly. | 14:14 |
| sethk | to use just some | 14:14 |
| simu | sethk: I'm reading the documentation that ubotu PROVIDED ME WITH | 14:15 |
| z1pp3r | sethk, automatix use stupid practices, and any of its function could effectively break your system | 14:15 |
| simu | ups | 14:15 |
| simu | thank yo | 14:15 |
| sethk | z1pp3r, I'm not disputing that | 14:15 |
| z1pp3r | then i dont understand what you're disputing =/ | 14:15 |
| sorteal | never had any problems using automatix | 14:15 |
| sanjay | how to use Hindi language fonts???? | 14:16 |
| z1pp3r | !worksforme | sorteal | 14:16 |
| ubotu | sorteal: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 14:16 |
| sethk | z1pp3r, Nothing, really. I was just remarking that it would be nice if the docs distinguish between "not recommended for license issues" and "not recommended because it's a POS" | 14:16 |
| === kae is now known as Sua_mae | ||
| sanjay | harami | 14:16 |
| z1pp3r | sethk, yeah well, in automatix' case it does... 'Not recommended' is perfectly fine when it has design, license and implementation issues | 14:17 |
| sethk | sorteal, sometimes things work for the most common situations, because they've been well tested for those apps, but fall apart in the more general case. | 14:17 |
| sanjay | fuck off !!!!!!!!!! | 14:17 |
| sanjay | bastards | 14:17 |
| === Sua_mae is now known as Abelardo | ||

| sethk | z1pp3r, that's true, you can have multiple reasons. Can't hurt, then, to enumerate; fifty reasons not to use automatix | 14:17 |
| sorteal | good point | 14:17 |
| z1pp3r | sethk, if you wanna read about why automatix sucks, the bots gives you a link when you're asking it | 14:18 |
| z1pp3r | personally i dont think its that bad, but it's a channel policy not to recommend it | 14:18 |
| sethk | z1pp3r, indeed, I'm not disputing anything that you've said. | 14:18 |
| LjL-Temp | !automatix | not just channel policy | 14:19 |
| ubotu | not just channel policy: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 14:19 |
| sethk | z1pp3r, indeed, again, I'm not trying to be critical, and of course, people can read the docs. Often they don't read. | 14:19 |
| z1pp3r | well i can understand that, a waste of time for a newbie to read docs they dont understand | 14:20 |
| z1pp3r | better just to tell them what and how they should do it | 14:20 |
| z1pp3r | if possible | 14:20 |
| sethk | z1pp3r, no argument | 14:20 |
| sethk | z1pp3r, always possible to _tell_ them. Whether they do what you tell them is a whole different question. | 14:20 |
| z1pp3r | possible, if you know yourself =) | 14:21 |

| z1pp3r | thats it! | 14:23 |
| z1pp3r | thanks | 14:23 |
| sethk | kane77, not really a problem, just means that there is a bit of wasted space | 14:23 |
| erUSUL | jacobian_wrk: kino or cinelerra ?? | 14:23 |
| z1pp3r | jacobian_wrk, you might wanna download that video, to see whats possible with opensource tools | 14:23 |

| Pici | z1pp3r: 3D modelling/production != video editing | 14:24 |
| sethk | kane77, The way partitioning works, a partial cylinder location can't be a starting point for the partition that follows, so the space in that cylinder that is not part of the partition will not be used. | 14:24 |

| sethk | Benalex, You can start either the gui install or the text install | 14:27 |
| Pici | Benalex: You can't change the base packages for either install. You'd need to use the Kubuntu CDs if you wanted KDE instead of Gnome at first. You can install kubuntu-desktop once its installed though, but you need an internet connection to do so. | 14:27 |
| mcummings | alecwh: check /var/log/apache2 | 14:27 |

| askand | Will ATI Radeon x600 give me trouble in ubuntu or will I be able to run compiz fusion and so on? | 14:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | popdog123: What kind of tv tuner do you have, and what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 14:33 |
| mcummings | alecwh: not if you have it in gedeit (I don't believe gedit does notification if the source file has been modified externally, but i could be wrong) - easiest thing to would probably be to tail -f the log in a console (and maybe | grep if you are looking for something in particular and need to filter out other hits) | 14:33 |
| popdog123 | it's aleadtek winfast tv 2000 xp global in ubuntu 7.10 | 14:33 |
| popdog123 | actually i couldn't use it in any distro | 14:33 |
| MasterShrek | alecwh, if you put: tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log in the terminal it will monitor the file | 14:33 |

| shockwaver | I had compiz running under KDE when I ran 7.04.. but I hate KDE. | 14:42 |
| ArthurArchnix | popdog123: Post the output of "lspci", "dmesg", and "cat /etc/modprobe.d/bttv" Re: Your lastest comment, but that is the correct driver to use. After setting it up like that and not getting audio have you gone into your sound configuration and changed the audio input device? Or perhaps in the program you're using, you can change the default input sound device? | 14:42 |
| vpegado | i dont get any sound inmy speakers btw : | 14:42 |
| MasterShrek | shockwaver, why so hostile against kde? | 14:43 |

| shockwaver | MasterShrek: I guess hate is a bit harsh. In fact, I used KDE for several years because I could right-click in the file browser and open terminals. But it has some niggly things that annoy me, so I go with gnome because it tends to get on my nerves less | 14:44 |
| kae | i hate both gnome and ion | 14:45 |

| mcummings | popdog123: dmesg|grep bttv | 14:46 |
| popdog123 | typo... | 14:47 |
| shockwaver | KDE always felt more.. hackerish to use. I mean, it felt like a more developer/professional type of interface. Which is good, but I'm at a point I just want things fairly simple unless I need it more complex. | 14:47 |
| MasterShrek | popdog123, dmesg | grep bttv | 14:47 |
| kae | yes, it runs... apps depend on the language libs, not the window manager... | 14:47 |
| popdog123 | yes i meant to say that... | 14:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | popdog123: Don't be hard on yourself, call it a translation error. ;) | 14:47 |

| Codenut | The man page has a bunch of switches. | 14:48 |
| shockwaver | kae, I find gnome very space efficient, at least while none of the dialog boxes are open. I love the default split taskbar, open stuff on bottom, menu/shortcuts on top | 14:49 |
| popdog123 | dmesg | grep bttv: only 2 lines.... driver version 0.9.17 and using 8 buffers with 2080k | 14:49 |

| Pici | Codenut:`su` will only work if you have unlocked you root account and set a password. sudo should take your user's password. Are you sure that you are in the 'admin' group? | 14:55 |

| Veggie | Just use sudo if you need to log in as root - it's safer. | 14:57 |
| Codenut | This is new for me as of v7.04 of debian/ubuntu | 14:57 |
| DARKGuy | thanks mcummings ^^ | 14:57 |
| Codenut | Thanks guys. | 14:57 |
| Veggie | Burn, what are you trying to print? | 14:57 |
| Pici | !sudo | Codenut read this, explains it a bit better | 14:57 |
| ubotu | Codenut read this, explains it a bit better: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 14:57 |
| mcummings | Codenut: in a nutshell, su expects you to know the password of the user you are su'ing to (it's old school, so to speak, elevation); sudo lets you do the same things, but is based on your password/permissions, so su - expects root's password, but sudo su - expects yours; similar but slightly different approaches | 14:57 |

| ArthurArchnix | popdog123: " bttv is linux driver for TV cards based on the bt848 and bt878 chips." According to lspci, You have a cx chip, so the bttv is the wrong driver. | 15:04 |
| shockwaver | Is your windowsxp.iso a boot disk, burn__? | 15:04 |
| popdog123 | oops | 15:04 |
| nikitis | Anyone messed with converting DRM music over to non-DRM music? | 15:04 |
| ljsmithx | What do I have to do to get Totem to recognize dvd? | 15:04 |
| ljsmithx | s* | 15:05 |
| kae | thanks for your advice, genii :D | 15:05 |
| genii | kae: np | 15:05 |
| burn__ | shockwaver: oh man really not too sure, its just an .iso file...i guess its not? | 15:05 |
| clarezoe | I'm still strugglin with my soundcard | 15:05 |
| Veggie | Playing the DVD should prompt Totem to install necessary codecs - either that or download them through "Add/Remove Programs". | 15:05 |
| sorteal | is the dvd encrypted? | 15:05 |
| ljsmithx | Yeah, Terminator 3 | 15:05 |
| ljsmithx | Just a test dvd | 15:05 |
| ArthurArchnix | popdog123: You should start by searching for the driver using the cx2388 chip. Here, for example, is one link: http://icculus.org/~jcspray/wintv_cx88.html | 15:05 |
| ljsmithx | But commercial | 15:05 |
| clarezoe | never had sound ever since I installed ubuntu, even with liveCD | 15:05 |
| kksm19820117 | I'm am considering installing Xubuntu - a command line install - from an alternate CD and was wondering if I install xfce later using synaptic, will it automatically install thunar and xfburn, etc...? Is there a way I can find out? | 15:06 |
| shockwaver | burn__: If you downloaded the iso, you should check any nfo files to make sure it is bootable, if you created it yourself, you need to make sure the original disk is bootable. Not all XP disks are (found that out the hard way) | 15:06 |
| ljsmithx | clarezoe: do you have speakers? | 15:06 |
| clarezoe | no | 15:06 |
| nikitis | ljsmithx look for libdvdcss2 | 15:06 |
| ljsmithx | Hmmm | 15:06 |
| sorteal | you need libdvdcss2 | 15:06 |
| erUSUL | kksm19820117: xubuntu-desktop ?? | 15:06 |
| ljsmithx | Ok | 15:06 |
| clarezoe | no wait | 15:06 |
| shockwaver | Baring that.. could be a config problem with virtualbox.. not sure if you need to set the virtual bios to boot from the cd drive | 15:06 |
| ljsmithx | sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2? | 15:06 |
| nikitis | ljsmithx, you can find a rpm of it on vlc's website. just convert it to .deb and install | 15:07 |
| sorteal | depends on your repositories | 15:07 |
| burn__ | shockwave: okay man i will try and download a bootable one then, maybe thru torrent sites hehe | 15:07 |
| ljsmithx | How do I convert? | 15:07 |
| ToddEDM | good morning guys | 15:07 |
| sorteal | oh yeah vlc should play the dvd right out of the box | 15:07 |
| nikitis | alien | 15:07 |
| kksm19820117 | erUSUL: I do not want to install thunar and mousepad, etc, but would like xfce itself along with xfburn. | 15:07 |
| clarezoe | ljsmithx I'm compaq laptop | 15:07 |
| shockwaver | burn__: Before you do that, I'd see if you can force virtualbox to boot from the cd drive. I don't use virtualbox, but if you hit del or f2 or what not as it is starting up, you should be able to go to the bios and tell it to boot from CD? | 15:08 |
| ljsmithx | Maybe others can help clarezoe?? | 15:08 |
| ArthurArchnix | popdog123: You might try the cx8800 driver, "sudo modprobe cx8800". This is a guess, I'm still reading. | 15:08 |
| nikitis | sorteal, it should, unless you get a certain version of vlc | 15:08 |
| burn__ | shockwaver: man if only my cd-drive works..haha thats why i am loading thru .iso | 15:09 |
| dorto | If I mark some packages on my 32-bit ubuntu, generate the script file from Synaptic Package Manager and then send the script file to a friends who uses 64-bit Ubuntu, can he use the script file to install the marked packages? | 15:09 |
| ljsmithx | Ok, Im installing VLC | 15:09 |
| clarezoe | thanks ljsmithx | 15:09 |
| clarezoe | anyone can help me? | 15:09 |
| mcummings | clarezoe: just curious - in a console window, does alsamixer start up? | 15:09 |
| ljsmithx | Help clarezoe!!! | 15:09 |
| nikitis | sorteal, fyi, some linux distros, send out vlc with a gimped libdvdcss2, but i think your fine with ubuntu's | 15:09 |
| shockwaver | burn__: I meant the virtual cd drive that you set up with virtualbox, not your real one | 15:09 |
| popdog123 | i've downloaded cx88-0.0.4 | 15:09 |
| popdog123 | i'm compiling it now | 15:09 |

| nikitis | So nobody knows how to convert DRM music over to non-DRM? | 15:10 |
| sorteal | oh I only really use ubuntu and mandriva so I've never ran into any gimped libdvdcss2 vlc thats interesting | 15:10 |
| mcummings | clarezoe: yes, but does alsamixer come up? it lets you (curses, not quite gui'ish) manipulate volume and mute channels, and can be helpful in ways that the desktop sound controls aren't sometimes | 15:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | popdog123: Have you tried "sudo modprobe cx88-dvb" | 15:10 |
| nikitis | sorteal, yea suse is an example | 15:10 |
| deal_ | Good day folks. I'm about to install my Nvidia drivers, but I cant cos I have to shutdown my X server, but that I dont know how to. Can someone gimme a url to a tutorial or such? | 15:10 |

| deal_ | nikitis: thank m8 | 15:12 |
| pawan | is there google earth for ubuntu | 15:12 |
| mcummings | clarezoe: don't suppose any of the channels are mute'd, or 0 volumed? that alsamixer comes up means that alsa believes it has the right config for your sound card (and detects it too) | 15:12 |
| nikitis | deal_, np | 15:12 |
| dorto | are all the applications available in ubuntu multiverse and universe repositories available for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions? | 15:12 |

| matttastic | Hey room, I am able to see and connect to my wireless network but when connected to my network i cannot view any websites, any suggestions? | 16:03 |
| pawan | how to install bin file | 16:03 |
| jrib | pawan: what are you trying to install exactly? | 16:03 |
| MasterShrek | matttastic, do you receive an ip address? | 16:03 |
| pawan | google earth | 16:03 |
| matttastic | Let me check, i believe no | 16:04 |
| jrib | pawan: get it from the medibuntu repo | 16:04 |
| MasterShrek | pawan, medibuntu has google earth | 16:04 |
| jrib | !medibuntu > pawan (read the private message from ubotu) | 16:04 |
| MasterShrek | =P | 16:04 |
| matttastic | MasterShrek, No. | 16:04 |
| palbuddy | okay I'm getting snes9x now.....however for azureus what can I do? | 16:06 |
| MasterShrek | matttastic, that could be a problem... | 16:06 |
| MasterShrek | palbuddy, use a different client, azureus is rather bloated anyway | 16:06 |
| MasterShrek | deluge is a good torrent client | 16:06 |
| palbuddy | deluge? | 16:06 |
| palbuddy | okay I'll try that | 16:06 |
| MasterShrek | yep | 16:06 |
| bazhang | palbuddy: there are a number of options--transmission for one | 16:06 |
| MasterShrek | yep transmission is a good one too | 16:07 |
| MasterShrek | ktorrent if you want to isntall kde libraries and stuff, i found ktorrent to be my favorite | 16:07 |
| palbuddy | thanks guys! I'm a newbie in this linux world. Ubuntu is great! | 16:07 |
| palbuddy | you guys are what make it cool too, keep up the great work | 16:07 |
| MasterShrek | linux isnt a world...it more of a multiverse =P | 16:09 |
| s-h-a-k-a | hi | 16:09 |
| s-h-a-k-a | I have a question about the new ubuntu | 16:09 |
| s-h-a-k-a | 7.14 | 16:09 |
| MasterShrek | hello s-h-a-k-a whats up? | 16:09 |
| patrick_ | german here need help == | 16:09 |
| akincer | palbuddy: Glad you are enjoying it. Just remember to spread the love and help when you can. We all get smarter together more quickly than alone | 16:09 |
| MasterShrek | 7.10 ? | 16:09 |
| s-h-a-k-a | yeah | 16:09 |
| patrick_ | german here need help =?? | 16:09 |
| s-h-a-k-a | sorry | 16:09 |
| MasterShrek | 7.14 wouldnt exist =P | 16:09 |
| gnomefreak | jrib: do you still use weechat? some reason "weechat" doesnt launch it. is there a different command? | 16:09 |
| palbuddy | indeed! I'll be back I'm sure to ask more questions! I'll just lurk for a bit! thanks again! | 16:09 |

| Em3raldMcSquizzy | ip_helper: sorry for the abrupt reply and departure there ... gastrointestinal anomalies. LOL. Anyhoo, ya, I've had my fair share of hardware-failure issues. Just recently I had an entire hard drive go corrupted. I managed to rescue about 75% of the data, but lost quite a bit. I had to manually rebuild the superblocks and everything. It was totally nuts. | 16:09 |
| s-h-a-k-a | How is the support for broadcomm wireless lan chipsets? | 16:10 |
| s-h-a-k-a | I know is 7.04 it had trobule | 16:10 |
| s-h-a-k-a | in* | 16:10 |
| MasterShrek | s-h-a-k-a, pretty good, what broadcom is it? | 16:10 |
| s-h-a-k-a | Broadcom 802.11g Wireless Network AdapterPCI | 16:10 |
| patrick_ | danke | 16:10 |
| Mortice | s-h-a-k-a: i gather it depends slightly on the chipset, but as long as you can provide wl_apsta.o or a wired internet connection for the initial setup, gutsy works like a dream. | 16:10 |
| MasterShrek | s-h-a-k-a, i konw that, i mean the chipset, 4311? 4318? | 16:10 |
| s-h-a-k-a | I can't supply a wired connection | 16:11 |
| s-h-a-k-a | I think its 4318 | 16:11 |
| s-h-a-k-a | everest doesn't say | 16:11 |
| ip_helper | Em3raldMcSquizzy: wow that is the suxxor. I am about to pickup another external for backup reasons. I bought a WD160 passport, did all my backups then tested a restore and it failed multiple times, ugly. | 16:11 |
| greek_man | hello all | 16:11 |
| MasterShrek | s-h-a-k-a, lspci -vv should | 16:11 |
| s-h-a-k-a | Device ID14E4-4320 | 16:11 |
| s-h-a-k-a | I'm running vista at the moment | 16:11 |
| MasterShrek | 4320 then | 16:11 |
| Mortice | s-h-a-k-a: i'd suggest downloading wl_apsta.o first then, and putting it on some removable media so you can stick that in when you want to set up your wireless card in ubuntu | 16:12 |
| ip_helper | mattastic: I couldn't get the data off it, some of it is sensitive so I can't return it or get it swapped. I have to destroy it and buy another. not wd next time | 16:12 |
| s-h-a-k-a | External harddrive good enough? | 16:12 |
| MasterShrek | yes s-h-a-k-a | 16:12 |
| s-h-a-k-a | Then another question | 16:12 |
| s-h-a-k-a | How well does Ubuntu dual boot with xp | 16:12 |
| MasterShrek | no more questions, you are cut off =P | 16:12 |
| s-h-a-k-a | and in what order should I install it | 16:12 |
| MasterShrek | just fine s-h-a-k-a | 16:12 |
| MasterShrek | xp first | 16:12 |
| s-h-a-k-a | ok | 16:13 |
| John_R | oolite rocks | 16:13 |
| MasterShrek | oolite eh? | 16:13 |
| akincer | shaka: No problem that I know of | 16:13 |
| MasterShrek | whats "lite" about it? | 16:13 |
| John_R | its a game | 16:13 |
| MasterShrek | oh, its a game, i thought openoffice lite | 16:14 |
| John_R | ask ubotu | 16:14 |
| MasterShrek | lol | 16:14 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | ip_helper: wow, WDs usually don't die like that. Wierd. ncix.com has (had?) some 500GB externals on for $100 CAD. 3yr warranty I believe. | 16:14 |
| John_R | hhahaha | 16:14 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | CRAWL FTW! | 16:14 |
| MasterShrek | gcc ftw | 16:14 |
| MasterShrek | =P | 16:14 |
| Myrtti | *krhm* | 16:14 |
| ip_helper | mattastic: I will probably buy a case and disk so I can get the disk I want | 16:15 |
| scriptha | Booting my installation is taking very long. I pressed ctrl+alt+f1 to see what's taking so long, and apparently it's usplash, saying "usplash: loading 1024*768 failed" "usplash: switching to 800*600" and then it waits for about 3 or 4 minutes. I want to speed this up. Is there a way? | 16:15 |
| secureboot | anyone know what would be causing the names of interfaces to continually increment in ubuntu? | 16:15 |
| rejden | what is the command for the xubuntu Terminal in the Applications menu? | 16:15 |
| ip_helper | Em3raldMcSquizzy: meant that last matttastic for you | 16:15 |
| secureboot | i'm up to eth3 now in a VM, eth2 on one of my serverse | 16:15 |
| Mortice | scriptha: if you don't mind seeing all the text every boot, you could remove 'splash' from the boot options in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 16:16 |
| secureboot | i've seen this behavior in other Gutsy machines as well | 16:16 |
| Myrtti | scriptha: be careful editing that file, though | 16:16 |
| s-h-a-k-a | lol, one last question | 16:16 |
| Mortice | scriptha: you may also have to remove 'quiet', i can't remember | 16:16 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | ip_helper: IC. Yeah, that's not a bad plan. Just make sure that you don't cheap out on the enclosure. Spend a few extra $$ on the enclosure to make sure it's got active cooling, and a robust construction. | 16:16 |
| saurabh | anybody uses firestarter here | 16:16 |
| s-h-a-k-a | How does ntfs mount on ubuntu? | 16:17 |
| John_R | i use lighter fluid | 16:17 |
| Kl4m | Which mount should I use from the 7.10 livecd? mount.ntfs3g or mount.ntfs-fuse? I want RW access to move files | 16:17 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | s-h-a-k-a: with no pain. | 16:17 |
| MasterShrek | !ntfs-3g | s-h-a-k-a | 16:17 |
| ubotu | s-h-a-k-a: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 16:17 |
| s-h-a-k-a | Can I save/read from it without it corrupting | 16:17 |
| MasterShrek | yes | 16:17 |
| MasterShrek | Kl4m, ntfs-3g | 16:17 |
| s-h-a-k-a | aaah nice | 16:17 |
| Kl4m | I guess mount.ntfs-3g then | 16:17 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | s-h-a-k-a: so far, I have had no problems, but I am by no means the overall authority. But I haven't witnessed others with trouble either reading OR writing to it. | 16:17 |
| kjetilkWork | Seems like I need to upgrade alsa to 1.0.15 to correct a problem with my mic. | 16:18 |
| kjetilkWork | Anyone know if I can run the packages from Debian sid (or from hardy, but they are not all at 1.0.15), on my Gutsy system? | 16:18 |
| scriptha | there's kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-12-generic root=UUID=00e0bbdb-ba88-42d7-b2f0-30600dfb7197 ro quiet splash | 16:18 |
| scriptha | initrd/boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-12-generic | 16:18 |
| jrib | kjetilkWork: in general, no | 16:18 |
| scriptha | "quiet splash" on one line | 16:18 |
| s-h-a-k-a | Well Basically I just want read/write access to my file hard drive | 16:18 |
| MasterShrek | kjetilkWork, should work, but no guarentees, may be better off compiling from source | 16:18 |
| cedricshock | Ni/join #haskell | 16:18 |
| jrib | s-h-a-k-a: the link from ubotu explains how to do that | 16:18 |
| s-h-a-k-a | yeah | 16:18 |
| s-h-a-k-a | thanks a lot | 16:18 |
| MasterShrek | s-h-a-k-a, i never have problems reading or writing to ntfs, but i do try to keep it to a minimum from linux | 16:18 |
| memox | buenas buenas | 16:19 |
| MasterShrek | not that you have to keep it to a minimum, | 16:19 |

| Kl4m | !abuse | 16:20 |
| ubotu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 16:20 |
| Kl4m | oops | 16:20 |
| Mortice | scriptha: that's what i've done on various machines with the same problem, yes | 16:20 |
| rmaj | !botabuse | 16:20 |
| ubotu | Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 16:20 |
| Mortice | scriptha: just be careful not to remove anything else :) | 16:20 |
| scriptha | okay | 16:20 |
| Kl4m | rmaj: thats what i was looking for... | 16:21 |
| scriptha | so no other "quiet"s? | 16:21 |
| kjetilkWork | MasterShrek: OK, thanks, it seems like all dependencies are satisfied for the sid packages, so I'll give it a shot | 16:21 |
| scriptha | oh | 16:21 |
| sby_HIDUP | mdzn | 16:21 |
| Mortice | scriptha: well, you can remove it for each kernel if you want, but you only really need to do it for the default one. | 16:21 |

| AlphA | MasterShresk - I got it going ;-) | 16:22 |
| AlphA | tx | 16:22 |
| MasterShrek | good news AlphA :) | 16:22 |
| ArthurArchnix | Pici: That's amazing. How'd you know that was actually a language, nevermind which language it was? | 16:22 |
| Mortice | scriptha: might be an idea to pastebin your menu.lst if you're at all uncertain about what to do. :) | 16:22 |
| MasterShrek | i was thinking the same thing ArthurArchnix lol | 16:22 |
| ip_helper | Question: Anyone using 2.5" external SATA hard drives for storage on feisty? Any problems? | 16:23 |
| * AlphA says "Google is my friend" | 16:23 | |
| MasterShrek | ip_helper, are you having problems with it? | 16:23 |
| scriptha | mortice: http://pastebin.ca/784195 is that correct? | 16:23 |
| Pici | ArthurArchnix: I actually just finished writing a script that does a combination /whois and checks the country code of the ip address against a list of country codes and gives me the country name. | 16:23 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | well I have to go. Thanx for the help (and off-topic conversation) ip_helper. Good luck with your hardware (and check out www.NCIX.com if you are in North America. That's where I buy almost all of my hardware these days. Anyhoo ... I'm out. Later! | 16:23 |
| * ArthurArchnix approves! | 16:23 | |
| Myrtti | Pici: xchat? | 16:23 |
| Pici | Myrtti: irssi | 16:23 |
| ip_helper | MasterShrek, I am going to replace an ide, didn't know if sata would be good or not | 16:24 |
| Pici | Myrtti: its a shell script, just /exec-ing it in irssi | 16:24 |
| Myrtti | Pici: me wanna! | 16:24 |
| Myrtti | oh | 16:24 |
| s-h-a-k-a | is x64 worth it? | 16:24 |
| Myrtti | /me goes back to using /dns | 16:24 |
| MasterShrek | ip_helper, i wouldnt think you would have any problems with external | 16:24 |
| s-h-a-k-a | or should I just keep with x86 | 16:24 |
| Mortice | scriptha: I can't see any reason why that wouldn't work. | 16:24 |
| scriptha | ok | 16:24 |
| sorto | whats the difference between using apt-get install xxx, or aptitude install xxx? | 16:24 |
| scriptha | I'll reboot now | 16:24 |
| scriptha | /quit reboot :O | 16:25 |
| scriptha | :< | 16:25 |
| MasterShrek | sorto, nothing really i dont believe | 16:25 |
| Mortice | scriptha: good luck :) | 16:25 |
| tushyd | anyone know why my wlan0 connects to a network and then will drop the connection in like 5-10 seconds? | 16:25 |
| sorto | MasterShrek: ok cool thanks | 16:25 |
| ip_helper | MasterShrek: thanks, I will pick one up and try it out. | 16:25 |
| Mortice | sorto: I believe aptitude has a tendency to install recommended packages as well as required packages, but i might be entirely wrong. | 16:25 |
| MasterShrek | s-h-a-k-a, its up to you, there are a few things in 64 that wont work right away, flash and java for example, but most things will work fine, and its 64 so its taking full advantage of your processor's capabilities | 16:25 |
| Myrtti | Pici: is it worrying that I know most of the tld's by heart ;-) | 16:26 |
| }btorch{ | has anyone here resiezed a partition on raid ? | 16:26 |
| sorto | Mortice: Im new to linux, so sorry for the stupid question - but where can I see a list of packages that apt-get and install for me, and which ones are required/recommended/whatever? | 16:26 |
| MasterShrek | sorto, synaptic package manager will list them, along with the ability to search | 16:26 |
| MasterShrek | system > admin > synaptic pacakge manager | 16:27 |
| }btorch{ | I have just added 2 new disks to a raid 5 and I was about to use reseize2fs but read someting about first having to increase the actaul partition | 16:27 |
| tushyd | anyone know why my wlan0 connects to a network and then will drop the connection in like 5-10 seconds? | 16:28 |
| MasterShrek | tushyd, what kind of wifi card is it? | 16:28 |
| tushyd | and I can't get it to stop roaming mode | 16:28 |
| tushyd | I'm not sure, how do I check? | 16:28 |
| MasterShrek | lspci -vv | 16:28 |
| tushyd | it's built in, I know that | 16:28 |
| tushyd | MasterShrek: it's a Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network connection | 16:29 |
| MasterShrek | tushyd, did you install any firmware for it, i remember my friend had an intel wifi card that required firmware, but that was a few releases ago too | 16:30 |
| scriptha | mortice: it's slightly faster but it keeps on "Waiting for root file system" | 16:30 |
| tushyd | ok, i'll try that | 16:30 |
| scriptha | is there anything I can do about that? | 16:30 |
| sorto | MasterShrek: re synaptic package manager - what if I only have ssh into this ubuntu box? :) then how can I see what packages are available? | 16:30 |
| tushyd | thanks | 16:30 |
| Haemoth | tushyd: I have that same card, 4965AGN, and NetworkManager gave me problems all the time, and sometimes wouldn't even connect. Try wicd and see if you still have connection problems. | 16:31 |
| MasterShrek | sorto, you can use aptitude, its a cli frontend to apt-get | 16:31 |
| s-h-a-k-a | god I'm happy I live in a country with fast internet | 16:31 |

| MasterShrek | nico_, what kind of wifi card is it? | 16:34 |
| sorto | I told someone that I was using ubuntu server as the OS for a VPS and he thought that was strange.. is it a good OS for a server? Or should I have just used debian? | 16:34 |

| javaJake | Hello, I'm looking for an FTP-compatible backup solution. I'd like it to be something like SVN, in which it keeps incremental updates of added, modified, AND deleted files.

| sorto | MasterShrek: but he takes up more space for example right? So it installs more maybe? So maybe theres more stuff that can be hacked or something? Im just trying to understand why it could be considered a bad choice for a server. | 16:35 |
| sanguisdex | sc0tty: but it took for ages | 16:35 |
| sc0tty | sanguisdex: I tried it once before, maybe 6.04 or something, but it failed and I had to reinstall | 16:35 |

| sc0tty | well I could have salvaged the system, but I was feeling lazy :p | 16:35 |
| === Gambas is now known as GambasBucatino | ||
| sanguisdex | sc0tty: you would be better off to dl the ISO on the cd and upgrade from there | 16:36 |
| sc0tty | ok | 16:36 |
| MasterShrek | sorto, just more things running in the background, nothing really about being hacked. ubuntu server is a fine choice for a server | 16:36 |

| DosKey | I had to install my wireless dongle manually and i blacklisted the standard ubuntu wireless modules. When i boot linux up it automatically loads the standard modules up. If i unplug my dongle and wait for ubuntu to load, then insert it. It works... Please help !?!?!? | 16:36 |
| nico_ | does anyone know how to enable drivers that are "not in use" ? | 16:37 |
| MasterShrek | sorto, there isnt much of a case in arguing ubuntu vs debian because they are essentially the same, there are other options though, i prefer slackware for a server...dunno really why, im just more used to it i guess | 16:37 |
| DosKey | system>admin>restricted drivers? | 16:37 |
| lmosher | I prefer vim, but I type vi out of habit. I physically replaced /usr/bin/vi with a link to vim, which works fine for a user, but doesn't work with sudo. Why is this? | 16:38 |
| nico_ | DosKey, if i enable the drivers and reboot, thei'r not in use again | 16:38 |
| MasterShrek | sorto, is basically boils down to what you need on your server, and how much you want to tweak the performance of it | 16:38 |
| sorto | MasterShrek: I guess everyone has their own preferences.. but Im glad ubuntu is a fine server too cause as my first linux experience Im really happy with how things have been going. | 16:38 |
| MasterShrek | nico_, you can put commands in /etc/rc.local to be run at boot, i would suggest a modprobe command to load the module at boot | 16:39 |
| DosKey | nico_ make sure the modules are loaded manually? modprobe? | 16:39 |
| DosKey | yeah | 16:39 |
| DosKey | I had to install my wireless dongle manually and i blacklisted the standard ubuntu wireless modules. When i boot linux up it automatically loads the standard modules up. If i unplug my dongle and wait for ubuntu to load, then insert it. It works... Please help !?!?!? | 16:39 |
| DosKey | :( | 16:39 |
| MasterShrek | DosKey, if you blacklisted the module and it still loads, put rmmod <module> in /etc/rc.local along with modprobe <module> to load the right module | 16:40 |
| wucheng | i wanna close some other terminal to reduce the load ,which file is the one i should find in 7.10? | 16:40 |
| MasterShrek | shouldnt be loading if its blacklisted though...are you sure its blacklisted correctly? | 16:41 |
| DosKey | It is. | 16:41 |
| lmosher | I made a link from /usr/bin/vi to vim, which works for a user, but not as root (it runs vi instead...) Any ideas why? | 16:41 |
| DosKey | It happened the last time i had to re-install linux. | 16:41 |
| ackdesha | lmosher: Try sudo which vi | 16:41 |
| Jupp2 | how do I deactivate my wireless interface through the GUI? | 16:41 |
| DosKey | Thanks though | 16:42 |
| wucheng | it is /etc/inittab in ubuntu6.06,but i do not konw in 7.10 | 16:42 |
| * DosKey is trying it | 16:42 | |
| lmosher | ackdesha, I did :( it points to /usr/bin/vi, which points to vim. I also tried which under 'sudo su' and 'sudo su -' just to double-check.... that's why I'm so perplexed. | 16:42 |
| greedo | which is faster ? virtualbox or vmware ? | 16:42 |
| === Anon9821 is now known as ___ | ||
| MasterShrek | greedo, i prefer vbox | 16:42 |
| Jupp2 | greedo, I like vbox better too | 16:42 |
| greedo | but is it faster ? :) | 16:43 |
| ackdesha | lmosher: sudo vi --version|head -1? For me i get VIM, and I haven't changed anything after package install. I think vi defaults to vim. | 16:43 |
| sanguisdex | greedo: wmware is in my experance faster but its not growing as fast as vbox these days | 16:43 |

| Dr_willis | Its good that vbox and vmware now have to compete against each other. :) | 16:44 |
| greedo | Pic: you generated as much bloat as the three of us :D | 16:45 |
| lmosher | ackdesha, when I -run- 'vi' and I hit 'i' then use the arrow keys, it writes out A B C D just like vi. When I use vim, it scrolls around. That's the biggest feature... | 16:45 |

Using ALT+TAB will not change the window and I cannot see the cursor to close it. It occasionally goes back to full screen where i can take control again but usually I have to use the power button on my computer to get back to the login screen. Any ideas? | 16:46 |

| tevfik | how can i set my 5.1 on ubuntu.. it works only 2 | 17:09 |
| MasterShrek | KlrSpz, mine always worked, not using ubuntu anymore though, did u install all your upgrades? | 17:09 |
| poeloq | Anybody know how to set-up Ekiga SIP Phone with laptop soundcards? | 17:09 |
| KlrSpz | MasterShrek: yeah i'm up to date | 17:09 |
| KlrSpz | MasterShrek: even went to the point of installing 7.10 from scratch to find out it's a kernel problem in gutsy | 17:10 |
| KlrSpz | yeah.. i'm thinking of going back to gentoo | 17:10 |
| Myrtti | tevfik: what? | 17:10 |
| MasterShrek | KlrSpz, try rebooting and using the other kernel and see if it works | 17:10 |
| KlrSpz | at least when it didn't work i knew it was MY fault | 17:10 |
| MasterShrek | oh | 17:10 |
| MasterShrek | KlrSpz, i find gentoo a big waste of time | 17:10 |
| godzirra | Can anyone help me out? GDM starts but when I login I don't get any windows manager anymore. | 17:10 |
| tevfik | Myrtti: i have 5.1 sound system. but i dont work completely. it works only 2 satalite.. | 17:11 |
| tomm1 | can anyone tell me how to create a directory when cp, mv and mkdir are deleted? | 17:11 |
| MasterShrek | KlrSpz, slackware ftw! | 17:11 |
| godzirra | even doing the failsafe mode doesnt work. | 17:11 |
| MasterShrek | tomm1, you cant, thats what those commands are designed for | 17:11 |
| tomm1 | MasterShrek, maybe via php/perl/ruby? | 17:11 |
| Myrtti | !sound tevfik | 17:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sound tevfik - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:12 |
| MasterShrek | tomm1, you could boot the livecd and maybe copy the binaries over, but even then your system is pretty fuxd without /etc and /bin | 17:12 |
| Myrtti | !sound | tevfik | 17:12 |
| ubotu | tevfik: 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 | 17:12 |
| MasterShrek | godzirra, choose a session from the actions menu maybe | 17:12 |
| godzirra | MasterShrek: I tried that. I chose gnome first, and it just gave me a blank screen. Failsafe gnome also gave me a blank screen. (Blank with a tan background.) | 17:13 |
| godzirra | It looks like its not starting a windows manager. | 17:13 |
| HalphaZ | I've ubuntu 7.10 32 bit. I do sudo su - and dmesg. The screen fills of "[21189.224000] printk: 758 messages suppressed."... can someone help me with this kind of problem??? | 17:13 |
| fernando_ | hy does anyone knows how to install the yahoo weather widgtes? | 17:13 |
| MasterShrek | godzirra, remove .gnome folders in your home dir, youll lose your gnome preferences but you can always reset them back | 17:13 |
| godzirra | ok. | 17:14 |
| intelikey | ok i found the problem. but i don't know what's causing it. Nov 19 11:12:33 localhost sshd[11265]: error: Bind to port 22 on 192.168.0.2 failed: Cannot assign requested address. | 17:14 |
| VinoStyle | MasterShrek: The alt cd, will I have have a gui once installed ? Or will I have to run some commands in order to get it to work? | 17:14 |
| roe_ | anyone know if there is a way to hook into the awardbios temperature monitor? | 17:14 |
| void^ | HalphaZ: it should show the culprit above each of those lines? even if it doesn't, the complete log with significant parts should be available in /var/log/dmesg | 17:14 |
| MasterShrek | VinoStyle, you should have a gui iirc | 17:14 |
| godzirra | MasterShrek: nope. still doesnt start nautilus | 17:14 |
| tevfik | Myrtti: i'm sure. SB Live 5.1 [SB0220](Alsa Mixer) is selected. | 17:14 |
| godzirra | just a blank tan screen. | 17:14 |
| Myrtti | fernando_: would the ones gdesklets provides be enough? | 17:14 |
| MasterShrek | screenlets is another widget program | 17:14 |
| Myrtti | fernando_: or do you particularly need and want yahoo widgets | 17:15 |
| HalphaZ | ok... i go to look /var/log/dmesg | 17:15 |
| Myrtti | fernando_: because you're probably not going to get them work | 17:15 |
| fernando_ | mo i really like the yahoo weather it has a look very nice | 17:15 |
| kondrix | any download managers out there which are able to get a file that is "behind" a php link? | 17:15 |
| intelikey | ok. i think i got it. the ListenAddress line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config has to be an "in the box address" ??? | 17:16 |
| toresn | hi, i just set up my mutt client, but for some reason it takes a lot of time to send a (short) mail... why is this? | 17:17 |
| MasterShrek | godzirra, make a new user and copy over what you need, or back up your user's folder and remove the original | 17:17 |
| godzirra | ok. | 17:17 |

| Karti | Hi all, how do I get my login screen the same resolution as my normal user? | 17:25 |
| elecero | cupie | 17:26 |
| nemo_home | Karti: gdm will use the maximum resolution permitted by your graphics card and monitor | 17:26 |
| Wolvenhaven | thanks guys | 17:26 |
| nemo_home | Karti: and constrained by xorg.conf | 17:26 |
| robi1 | @ubotu: the link you sent is only for ubuntu versions up to 7.04, i've got 7.10! | 17:26 |
| Karti | nemo_home: My normal when I log in is 1280 by 1024, my login looks 800 by 600 | 17:26 |
| nemo_home | Karti: if for some reason that isn't what you are using for your particular user account, you could presumably create another profile in your xorg.conf and tell the GDM config script to launch in that | 17:26 |
| nemo_home | Karti: mm. that seems unlikely | 17:27 |
| Myrtti | robi1: well, now. | 17:27 |
| nemo_home | Karti: could be the theme it is using perhaps | 17:27 |
| Myrtti | robi1: system - administration - software sources | 17:27 |
| Myrtti | robi1: check that you've got all the four checkboxes ticked on the first tab | 17:27 |
| godzirra | MasterShrek: Even after removing .metacity, .nautilis, .gconf* and .gnome* and copying it from a new user (that I verified worked), I still get a blank tan screen. I copied and chown -R'd to my user. | 17:27 |
| nemo_home | Karti: but, if you pastebin the xorg log for GDM, could verify this speculation | 17:27 |

| Dr_willis | SatManUK, odd. you dident run out of memory/swap did you? | 17:30 |
| Myrtti | robi1: did you read my message? | 17:30 |
| SatManUK | i don't know.. it was using the hd quite fast | 17:30 |
| SatManUK | Dr_willis: i gave it 1 gig of memory swap | 17:30 |
| SatManUK | and i have 512mb of on board | 17:31 |
| SatManUK | is that enough? | 17:31 |
| robi1 | have got no clue how to install it - inwindows it's easy, but here it asks me to run file in terminal or something..... clueless | 17:31 |
| Dr_willis | SatManUK, be sure the swap is actually enabled. (check free command) | 17:31 |
| Myrtti | robi1: did you read my message? | 17:31 |
| Dr_willis | SatManUK, i had a issue where some how swap got turned off. | 17:31 |

| robi1 | that's the thing, i've searched in both of those, cannot find it | 17:33 |

| SatManUK | when the sound stopped - skype dropped - then my mouse froze.. then the screen went black | 17:33 |

| ssper | hey everyone. just fresh install 7.10 on my desktop and am having problems getting my wireless network card connected to my network. | 18:06 |
| AquaFox|Laptop | sandaru1, lsusb doesn't exit. | 18:07 |
| massada | ssper are you using vmware ? | 18:07 |
| AquaFox|Laptop | It freezes. | 18:07 |
| ssper | when i first booted up, i had a list of the networks around me that i could connect to, so i selected mine, input the wep password, and it wouldn't connect. | 18:07 |
| Dr_willis | which lsusb --- > /usr/sbin/lsusb Your PATH may not include sbin | 18:07 |
| captine | ssper, am having the same problem | 18:07 |
| captine | on laptop | 18:07 |
| ssper | massada: nope | 18:07 |
| ssper | so after trying to connect the default ubuntu way, i started trying to set it up using iwconfig | 18:08 |
| massada | okay i had the problem on my vmware install with 7.10 and had to use nat to get it to work here on the lappy it never saw the wireless network | 18:08 |
| AquaFox|Laptop | Dr_willis, I run some lsusb so it is in my PATH and it freezes and outputs nothing. | 18:08 |
| ssper | which also doesn't work ;). and now my network settings are all whack | 18:08 |
| captine | ssper, did you have to use ndiswrapper? | 18:08 |
| ssper | massada: it could see the network just fine | 18:08 |
| ssper | captine: i'm unsure | 18:08 |
| sandaru1 | AquaFox|Laptop: did you change your kernel recently? or kernel modules? | 18:08 |
| ssper | captine: i don't think i did | 18:08 |
| lonran | I am running xgl and when mplayer is fullscreen, playback becomes very slow. Is there any way to solve this? | 18:09 |
| AquaFox|Laptop | sandaru1, no..? | 18:09 |
| AquaFox|Laptop | I changed noapic nolapic out of my grub boot. | 18:09 |
| AquaFox|Laptop | I took it off. | 18:09 |
| sandaru1 | AquaFox|Laptop: may be usb kernel modules are not loaded that's why.. to be sure, try "modprobe usbcore" and try lsusb | 18:09 |
| bcardarella | If I attach a digital camera to my computer where does it mount to? I've checked in /mnt and /media | 18:09 |
| captine | ssper, what app u use to search for wireless networks. I dont seem to have any gui? | 18:09 |
| sidlet | capgadget, WirelessRadar is a good one | 18:10 |
| ssper | captine: it came up in my menu bar at the top of the screen | 18:10 |
| ssper | and now it says "no network devices have been found" | 18:10 |
| sidlet | capgadget, er, wifiradar rather. | 18:10 |
| AquaFox|Laptop | still doesn't work sandaru1 | 18:10 |
| ssper | when i try to open the network settings, it takes forever and doesn't really work | 18:10 |

| sidlet | albech, yeah, 7.10 = gutsy | 18:12 |
| albech | sidlet: yes | 18:12 |
| AquaFox|Laptop | I need help: When I run lsusb it freezes and no output. Any ideas? | 18:12 |
| sidlet | albech, thats a common problem. last i heard firefox in gutsy was acting strange all around | 18:12 |
| g-e | hey, is there a command, that shows the name of the mainboard inside a computer? | 18:12 |

| no0tic | hi, I can't listen to realmedia streams with amarok, I installed w32codecs and checked .xine/config for realmedia codecs path and it is ok. Amarok continues to tell me that it can't load cook.so | 18:12 |
| bcardarella | sandaru1: thanks | 18:12 |
| albech | sidlet: ok, so i should just throw my computer out the window and look TV instead? ;) | 18:13 |
| sidlet | albech, thats one option ;) | 18:13 |
| sandaru1 | AquaFox|Laptop: may be you can try with a different kernel.. there was some kernel modules in gusty upgrades.. about two days ago.. those modules may be causing some problems | 18:13 |
| sandaru1 | AquaFox|Laptop: i hope you still have some commented out old kernels in your grub list! | 18:14 |

| AquaFox|Laptop | What is latest kernel in repos sandaru1 ? | 18:14 |
| sidlet | albech, I'm using feisty with no problems. Why reinstall your distro because one or two apps are being buggy? | 18:14 |
| sandaru1 | AquaFox|Laptop : 2.6.22-14 | 18:14 |

| sandaru1 | AquaFox|Laptop : you may try with a bit older one.. 2.6.20-16 would be fine | 18:15 |
| sidlet | albech, gentoo = compile farm :P | 18:15 |
| perritito | hola | 18:15 |
| albech | sidlet: exactly | 18:15 |
| massada | gutsy does not see my wireless at all here from a live boot CD using Intel 3945ABG wireless card | 18:15 |
| sidlet | albech, ubuntu is much more sane in my opinion | 18:15 |
| albech | sidlet: im running gentoo on all my servers, but ubuntu just seems a lot more sensible on a workstation | 18:16 |
| albech | sidlet: guess i should try 7.04 | 18:16 |
| sidlet | albech, sounds like a plan to me. Until the firefox bug in gutsy is fixed, why not try another browser? | 18:16 |
| sidlet | albech, or you can downgrade to feisty. Its what i'm using and its rock solid. | 18:17 |

| Scunizi | If I change my /home referance in fstab to a different partition and don't rename the current default /home to a different name (ie oldhome), will there be any conflicts between the two directories? | 18:29 |
| alexou_ | sandaru1, thanks for your help, i think it's good :) | 18:29 |
| Patchak | sandaru1, does filezilla tranfer in ssh ?? | 18:29 |
| sidlet | tyronepolleri, i removed the mplayer and totem firefox plugins. it defaulted to vlc | 18:29 |

| Patchak | oh great | 18:29 |
| Patchak | thanks | 18:29 |
| keiserr | I have an installed Feisty Fawn box (used the alternate CD), now i got a Gutsy Gibbon CD, can i upgrade that? | 18:30 |
| alexou_ | Patchak, you can use gftp | 18:30 |
| astro76 | Scunizi, not really, but when the new home is mounted to /home, any files that are there will be unaccessible... really the old /home should be emptied | 18:30 |
| keiserr | i mean, is there an easy way to upgrade feisty to gibbon? | 18:30 |
| Patchak | alexou_, I did, but I try to tranfer my site and each time the program just crashed | 18:30 |
| Pici | !upgrade | keiserr | 18:30 |
| ubotu | keiserr: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 18:30 |
| tyronepolleri | sidlet: vlc is not working either | 18:30 |
| alexou_ | Patchak, filezilla can, select SFTP | 18:30 |
| sidlet | tyronepolleri, what error message is it giving you? | 18:31 |
| sandaru1 | keiserr : do you have the gusty alternative CD? | 18:31 |
| sandaru1 | keiserr : or live CD? | 18:31 |
| sorto | if I change /etc/hostname do I have to reboot for it to take effect? | 18:31 |
| Patchak | alexou_, alright... any idea why gftp would crash like that on each attemp,... no errors at all, wrong install or something? | 18:31 |
| keiserr | sandaru1: no, i have the gusty ordinary desktop CD | 18:31 |
| alexou_ | Patchak, there is inought free space on the server ? | 18:31 |
| keiserr | sandaru1: Yes the live CD | 18:32 |
| ailean | When watching vids with Totem, it doesn't override the screensaver/power saving settings. Has anyone else got this problem / know how to solve it? | 18:32 |
| Patchak | yes I'm actually importing the files on my comp | 18:32 |
| stefg | sorto: make sure to change /etc/hosts accordingly. and yes, you have zo reboot | 18:32 |
| astro76 | ailean, it should if totem is full screen | 18:32 |
| sandaru1 | keiserr: then you can't use that to upgrade to gusty.. you'll have to use dist-upgrade.. if you want to upgrade from the Cd, you'll have to download the alternative CD | 18:32 |
| Patchak | alexou_, the program just closes | 18:32 |
| Scunizi | astro76, it was kind of a post-facto question. The original /home was the default install, the new /home was my Dapper's orig. /home. But I noticed that one of my directories has disappeared, Photos (emptied) & Pics (removed/disappeared). | 18:32 |

| ailean | guys, can someone please help? The screen keeps switching off while watching movies with totem - it's not overriding the power saving / screen saver settings | 18:35 |
| stefg | keiserr: don't be too optimistic. upgrades have a certain chance to break your box, and you might run into some of gutsy's regression problems. so make a backup, and reinstall gutsy from scratch. in case you don't like it you can revert to feisty then | 18:35 |
| sandaru1 | Patchak: the best way to check why program crashes is to run the program within the terminal.. go to terminal and type "gftp".. then if you are lucky you'll see some error messages | 18:35 |

| SpeCon | i install python-msn package but when i do FIND python-msn it gives me no results WHY | 18:55 |
| lwizardl | how do i set the auto numlock on | 18:56 |
| * ArthurArchnix is on his lunch break and thought he'd drop by. | 18:56 | |
| LazyPower | Allo arthur | 18:56 |
| drayveal | wait a second | 18:56 |
| sandaru1 | SpeCon: python-msn is library rather than an application, isn't it? | 18:56 |
| Pici | SpeCon: you do know that python-msn isnt a program, right? | 18:56 |
| SpeCon | sandaru1, yes | 18:56 |
| drayveal | the Kernel line is like so | 18:56 |
| SpeCon | dunno | 18:56 |
| SpeCon | i didn't know that | 18:56 |
| SpeCon | i tought it was a program | 18:56 |
| ArthurArchnix | what's the off-topic channel again? | 18:56 |
| Pici | ArthurArchnix: #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:57 |
| drayveal | kernel /vmlinux root=/dev/hda2 ro | 18:57 |
| Pici | SpeCon: python-msn is a Python client library for the MSN protocol. | 18:57 |
| ArthurArchnix | Pici: Thanks. | 18:57 |
| drayveal | shouldn't it include splash at the end of that line? | 18:57 |
| sandaru1 | drayveal: it should by default | 18:57 |
| SpeCon | Pici, so why would people install that ? | 18:57 |
| SpeCon | a library what is that exactly | 18:57 |
| drayveal | well it doesn't by default with me... | 18:57 |
| dury | I'm in desktop/live cd. I've opened the terminal... I typed as root find /boot/grub/stage1 I got (hd1,2) what 's that? | 18:58 |
| drayveal | if I add that, will it allow the splash screen to show? | 18:58 |
| SpeCon | when i see Python client msn blabla people would think its a program | 18:58 |
| Pici | SpeCon: If either a python program that they were using required it (i.e. to connect to msn) or if they were programming something in python to connect to msn. | 18:58 |
| sandaru1 | SpeCon: the applications use functions specified on those | 18:58 |
| SpeCon | oh pici okay | 18:58 |
| SpeCon | k sandaru1 | 18:58 |
| SpeCon | the thing is i want MSN messenger but more grapical | 18:58 |
| sandaru1 | drayveal: trail and error :) | 18:58 |
| toresn | what program could i use to make fetchmail run at set time intervals? | 18:58 |

| cox | does anyone know the command to show smb shares on a network? | 18:59 |
| sandaru1 | SpeCon: emesene | 18:59 |
| SpeCon | sandaru1, okay lemme see | 18:59 |
| drayveal | sandaru1 ok, looks like I try... and just to make sure before I do this.... | 18:59 |
| sandaru1 | cox: smbclient -L ip | 18:59 |
| drayveal | should I edit it under the Start Default Options? | 19:00 |
| cox | sandaru1: i'm sure there is a way to show all shares | 19:00 |
| drayveal | wait... that last one I posted was an exampe | 19:00 |
| SpeCon | sandaru1, for example. If i do not use apt-get install because it doesn't find the package. And i want to install it manualy. For example i download it from the web. Is it possible then to install this program (package) from the ubuntu desktop and not with terminal | 19:00 |
| genii | toresn: cron | 19:00 |
| SpeCon | if yes explain me how and tell me wich format .gz .tar blabla i need to download | 19:00 |
| SpeCon | explain me wich is a package so i know that | 19:01 |
| drayveal | Where in menu.lst do I look for the kernel to change it to splash or off of quiet splash (which some are set to) | 19:01 |
| sandaru1 | SpeCon: if there is a deb file.. then you double click that and install.. if there is a tar/gz/zip file.. most likely you'll have to compile it | 19:01 |
| SpeCon | sandaru1, okay very good | 19:01 |
| SpeCon | so i open a DEB file | 19:02 |
| SpeCon | and it will install automaticly ? | 19:02 |
| SpeCon | or i need to click on an INSTALL icon? | 19:02 |
| toresn | genii: crontab? | 19:02 |
| sandaru1 | SpeCon: you'll see when you open it | 19:02 |
| SpeCon | okay sandaru1 :) | 19:02 |
| genii | toresn: Yes, just make an entry that runs the fetchmail command | 19:02 |
| SpeCon | does ubuntu use GNOME as default because i didn' tsee kde in the install thing | 19:02 |
| SpeCon | when i was installing ubuntu | 19:02 |
| toresn | genii: ok, ty | 19:03 |
| abhi | how to play the dvd with menu? | 19:03 |
| genii | toresn: np | 19:03 |
| sandaru1 | SpeCon: but if you are going to keep using ubuntu.. get your hand dirty in the terminal :) | 19:03 |
| SpeCon | sandaru1, okay | 19:03 |
| SpeCon | sandaru1, the problem is mostly it is a tar.gz file | 19:03 |
| SpeCon | i know how to install this | 19:03 |
| SpeCon | tar zxvf file | 19:04 |
| SpeCon | then make and make install | 19:04 |
| SpeCon | but then, what do i have to do when a program is installed | 19:04 |
| SpeCon | and its not in the menu folder | 19:04 |
| sandaru1 | SpeCon: you missed the "./configure" | 19:04 |
| SpeCon | of my desktop | 19:04 |
| SpeCon | yeah configure to sorry | 19:04 |
| SpeCon | :) | 19:04 |
| SpeCon | how do you use this thenµ | 19:04 |
| abhi | how to play the dvd with menu? | 19:04 |
| SpeCon | for example i install emesene for my girl. But she wants an incon on the desktop | 19:04 |

| drayveal | ## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro | 19:04 |

| SpeCon | doesn't work either | 19:13 |
| SpeCon | [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/bin/emesene'. Probably you must be root to execute this operation. | 19:14 |
| sandaru1 | drayveal: no that will remove your splash screen..and show you some text... then you'll be able to make sure it's something wrong with your framebuffer drivers..at least that's better than the blank screen :) | 19:14 |

| mikebeecham | hi guys | 19:27 |
| akincer | vja2: Thought so | 19:27 |
| mikebeecham | can someone help me with installing corerect nvidia drivers? | 19:27 |
| akincer | vja2: make sure you have the latest firmware. I've seen bizarre behavior on older firmwares that often kick in with heavy loads | 19:27 |
| usr13 | Exry: Actually, if it happens again, I think the process name is update-manager.desktop You can porbably kill it with sudo pkill update-manager.desktop | 19:27 |
| vja2 | akincer: I'm using a 3rd party firmware; recommend going back to stock? | 19:28 |
| sandaru1 | aladinsane: if sudo nautilus can't write in that drive.. then that means your drivers doesn't support writing.. install ntfs-3g.. sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 19:28 |
| akincer | vja2: I'm not saying it is the router, but I've seen issues there. | 19:28 |
| mikebeecham | I'm confused because when I boot up my machine, the nvidia splash pops up. However, when I go into xorg.conf, it lists my card as a generic card, so I cant change twinview! | 19:28 |
| Exry | usr13: Ok, it happens every time i thry to use it... But can you please write the update command again? I lost it due I used ctrl+alt+backspace | 19:28 |
| akincer | vja2: It was stock firmware I saw the problem, not third party though | 19:28 |
| mikebeecham | any help would be great | 19:28 |
| akincer | vja2: If it isn't too much trouble, I would suggest that to rule the router out | 19:29 |
| usr13 | Exry: I'm sorry, it's just update-manager sudo pkill update-manager | 19:29 |
| vja2 | akincer: fair enough. If it's *not* the router, any other ideas? (for instance, I only see the problem with this network card, and I have other machines wired & wireless on the network) | 19:29 |

| usr13 | ceil420: No, I'm pretty sure you've done all that's necessary. | 20:18 |
| ian| | zimon: BTW: The "stupid reason" is that I don't have a VGA-cable to attach a screen to my server. My desktop PC uses DVI. And the server does not have a AGP slot, so I cant change cards... *g* | 20:18 |

| stroyan | kakoonia: The file system cache is holding data from all sorts of files that you have written or read. It is not in a particular part of your filesystem. You can use writes to /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches to make recent kernels flush the cached data. But you normally don't want to do that. | 20:36 |

| Samaseon | another question: how do i find out the ubuntu version in a running system? | 20:44 |
| Arelis___ | Guys, i prefer KDE over GNOME, but Ubuntu... just has more "support" for GNOME. The list of applications, the bugfixes (adept oftenly crashes, and compiz-fusion shows white lines around everything (kde-window-decorator), and the devteam for Ubuntu is bigger, much bigger.. but, KDE 4 comes out next year and i'm kinda 'worried' (not really) that when i use it, it's not stable at all. Although i really prefer KDE. so which should i choose? Oh, | 20:44 |
| Arelis___ | and, i've noticed that in my previous install, when i boot up gnome it sometimes looks like it takes a minute, but i'd say 15 seconds or so. And applications open slowly too. I don't want that to happen with the new install. And, for a 3 year old (or so) computer, what applications should i use instead of Openoffice, firefox, and the whole bunch? And, if i install such a custom desktop, what will happen if i try to upgrade to Hardy (when | 20:44 |
| Arelis___ | it's released) and will i have to install ubuntu-desktop, thus installing GNOME in the process? | 20:44 |

| Jimmey | Enselic, the .blend files are all in separate folders, and I don't know which ones. | 20:51 |
| stroyan | kakoonia: I will confess that there are a couple of corner cases where cached ram is actually not available to be freed. System V shared memory objects and tmpfs file system data are reported as part of the 'cached' memory values. Those actually need to be swapped out to a swap device to be reclaimed. It is a rare corner case that those would be a real issue. | 20:51 |

| stroyan | kakoonia: The only situation where swap is preferable is when you have too much data to afford the RAM to hold it. (Or you just can't fit that much RAM in a system.) But swap is only practical if most of you data goes unaccessed for long periods of time. Actively using swap is very slow. | 20:57 |

| albech | britt_: you find it? | 21:29 |
| MilitantPotato | sn00zer: that's not good | 21:29 |
| shawn_selig29 | and it says to use some borken flter to repair it | 21:29 |
| Grozo | is it posible to ignore a harddisk? (not a mount point).... because its not likeing my RAID 0 array | 21:29 |
| britt_ | albech: there's 256 packages to look thru, i'm looking | 21:29 |
| shadeofgrey | okay folks | 21:30 |
| shawn_selig29 | any idea or fixing it? | 21:30 |
| MilitantPotato | sn00zer: run glxgears and see if any rise (you'll need to re-enter sensors into terminal to get updated stats) | 21:30 |
| shadeofgrey | wheres the best place to get screenshots of the default ubuntu install of 7.10 | 21:30 |
| dajhorn | britt_: Change the "show" pulldown menu to "Supported applications" and you'll get three hits. | 21:30 |
| albech | huh? through the gnome installation software? (Add/Remove Programs)?? | 21:30 |
| sn00zer | MilitantPotato: ok, but i've had problems with glxinfo crashing X before so if i might disappear for a minute | 21:30 |
| drayveal | shadeofgrey: use the LiveCD of Ubuntu 7.10 and take screen shots within that | 21:31 |
| drayveal | shadeofgrey: then do Applications > Take Screenshot | 21:32 |
| drayveal | save it to your hard drive and BLAM! | 21:32 |
| chimp | im trying to connect to a wireless network in gutsy but it is not working, it see's the network and i enter the ssid but it fails without giving an error | 21:32 |
| dajhorn | britt_: If you prefer the prompt, then `sudo apt-get install gnome-volume-manager` will get the same result. | 21:32 |
| chimp | is there a way to connect via the terminal so as to give the error? | 21:32 |
| britt_ | albech: im in synaptic.... | 21:33 |
| drayveal | Chimp: if it sees the network you don't have to add the SSID unless you are not broadcasting it | 21:33 |
| chimp | oops | 21:33 |
| albech | britt_: use the command dajhorn just wrote | 21:33 |
| chimp | sorry i always say the wrong things :P | 21:33 |

| multidex | how do I mount sdb1 ? | 21:33 |
| chimp | i mean the wpa code | 21:33 |
| chimp | not the SSID name | 21:33 |
| drayveal | Chimp: and you are 100% sure its WPA and not WEP | 21:33 |
| chimp | yep | 21:33 |
| chimp | infact it worked on this laptop yesterday | 21:34 |
| chimp | then decided to stop working for no reason i can ascertain | 21:34 |
| dajhorn | chimp: If the Network Manager is inadequate, then you can use the `wpa_cli` and `wpa_supplicant` utilities at the terminal command line. | 21:34 |
| Grozo | is it posible to ignore a harddisk? (not a mount point).... because its not likeing my RAID 0 array | 21:34 |

| britt_ | i just woke up, so im not running at 100% yet | 21:34 |
| drayveal | Chimp: what dajhorn said | 21:35 |
| mehevi | hey guys what are the commandline flags to set Onboard size and window geometry? It's an on screen keyboard | 21:35 |
| dajhorn | britt_: Weird. Try adding your regular user to the cdrom group next. | 21:35 |
| chimp | cheers | 21:35 |
| sn00zer | MilitantPotato: M/B Temp went up 1 degree the others stayed the same | 21:35 |

| shawn_selig29 | is there anyway to stop ubuntu from using the system speaker when i press a invlaid button...like press backspace when evetyhing is already dleted? | 21:35 |
| multidex | what would the command syntax be to mount a sata drive of type ext3 that was seen by installation as sdb1? | 21:36 |
| dajhorn | britt_: The mount command should work without sudo if you are part of the cdrom group. Notice that /dev/hd? is has ownership root:cdrom. | 21:36 |
| Matt2 | my usb headset doesn't seem to be detected when i plug it in. it doesn't show up in the device manager or in 'lsusb'. any tips? | 21:36 |
| mehevi | multidex mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 | 21:37 |
| dajhorn | Grozo: You can do it at the boot prompt by passing a kernel command line parameter, but I don't remember the syntax. | 21:37 |
| britt_ | dajhorn: yeah, i would say its odd that it didnt do this when i did a fresh install, but i work with redhat 7 at work and it does crazy stuff too | 21:37 |
| dajhorn | britt_: *shrug* I've had lots of breakage with Gutsy upgrades. | 21:37 |
| mehevi | hey guys what are the commandline flags to set Onboard size and window geometry? It's an on screen keyboard | 21:38 |
| Grozo | dajhorn, oke thanx i wil google on that! | 21:38 |
| britt_ | dajhorn: there's a guy i work with that refuses to upgrade...actually i think he said there was a problem with his floppy controller, and the install bombs out on him | 21:38 |
| === GamberettoMagnat is now known as sbucatino | ||
| britt_ | dajhorn: actually, /dev/cdrom is has ownership root:root | 21:39 |
| britt_ | which is why it wont mount. :) | 21:39 |
| multidex | thanks mehevi, at the moment, gutsy doesn't know the device is there | 21:39 |

| A-L-A-R-M | it has to do something with my ati vga | 21:40 |
| dajhorn | britt_: Was changing ownership the solution? | 21:40 |
| mehevi | multidex, you also have to specify a mount point in your file system | 21:40 |

| A-L-A-R-M | what do u mean ? | 21:41 |
| mehevi | multidex no like mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/mount | 21:41 |
| dajhorn | Grozo: The old kernel HOWTO document says "ignore=hdX", but this may not apply to current kernels. | 21:41 |
| m1r | A-L-A-R-M: download alternate cd and then install, it is text base instalation | 21:42 |
| A-L-A-R-M | i see | 21:42 |
| MilitantPotato | A-L-A-R-M: When the boot menu comes up (where it says Run / Install Ubuntu), hit SAFE GRAPHICS MODE | 21:42 |
| MilitantPotato | sn00zer: yea, sorta :) | 21:42 |
| dajhorn | Flare183: Click "System -> Preferences -> Appearance" and choose a better theme. | 21:43 |

| A-L-A-R-M | okie i will check that | 21:43 |
| MilitantPotato | A-L-A-R-M: if that fails, the alternate CD is a quicker way to install also | 21:43 |
| dajhorn | Grozo: Do it by pushing ESC at boot time and changing it there, so that it isn't permanent. | 21:43 |
| Flare183 | dajhorn:> yeah thanks! | 21:44 |
| next`MiLLeN | when i have my pc without internet connection my ubuntu is so slow, why? | 21:44 |

| Flare183 | ... | 21:44 |
| dajhorn | britt_: You need the -h flag to change ownership on a symlink, but if the target device node has the correct ownership, then you have another problem. | 21:44 |

| dajhorn | theTrav: I don't have a computer handy where I can check the "right way" of fixing this... If you are comfortable poking around in config files, then you may get the desired result by removing the sync lines and/or removing the too-high resolution lines. | 22:09 |
| dajhorn | theTrav: If you botch an edit to the xorg.conf file then you'll have a bigger problem. | 22:09 |

| ak5 | hi can someone tell me how to compress a directory? I tried bzip2 -k mydir but that didn't work :( | 22:12 |
| ianq | dajhorn: well, that one's funny too. look at this: The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 22:12 |

| lastelement0 | hey everyone i have downloaded an .emerald theme. how do i get it installed? | 22:12 |
| dajhorn | ianq: Pastebin your sources.list file. You've either got 3rd party repositories or you're forced a version at some point. | 22:13 |
| theTrav | lastelement0 you need a theme manager | 22:13 |
| theTrav | I had one on my last install but forget what it was | 22:13 |
| ianq | dajhorn: one moment | 22:13 |
| MilitantPotato | lastelement0: open emerald and click import :) | 22:13 |
| lastelement0 | militantpotato how do i install emerald. i dont believe i have it installed | 22:13 |
| dajhorn | ianq: Or the dist-upgrade never happened and you've got Gutsy repositories on an earlier system. | 22:13 |
| MilitantPotato | lastelement0: open synaptic and search for emerald | 22:14 |
| ianq | dajhorn: http://pastebin.com/d507e635c | 22:14 |
| ianq | dajhorn: yeah, i am totally puzzled as to what happened. i installed ubuntu server for the first time only a few months ago; i used to use gentoo before, so i'm relatively new to ubuntu | 22:15 |
| dajhorn | Zofo: The framebuffer gunk in Gutsy puts the display on some PPC iMac computers into la-la land. Choose the alternate at the boot prompt to install the system. | 22:15 |
| ak5 | can someone please tell me how to compress a whole dir with bzip2? | 22:16 |
| dajhorn | ianq: The upgrade to Gutsy has hosed many computers. | 22:16 |
| beeja1 | ak5: mc | 22:16 |
| jc | hellanzb | 22:17 |
| dajhorn | ianq: First, check whether you have sources "stubs" in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. | 22:17 |
| ak5 | beeja1: uh so you mean bzip2 -mck mydir ? | 22:17 |
| Zofo | dajhorn: i installed ubuntu with the alternate cd. is there anyway i can fix it now. sorry for sounding like a noob | 22:17 |
| ianq | dajhorn: that's good to know :-( | 22:17 |

| dajhorn | ianq: You can't upgrade directly from Dappter to Gutsy. | 22:19 |
| stroyan | ak5: Do you want to produce a directory full of compressed files, or one file that contains all of the directory in an archive format? | 22:19 |
| lastelement0 | militantpotato, ok i have emerald installed and imported my theme, now how do i apply it | 22:19 |
| ianq | dajhorn: how can i upgrade? | 22:19 |
| MilitantPotato | lastelement0: in terminal type emerald --replace & disown | 22:19 |

| ianq | dajhorn: how many are there in between? | 22:20 |
| Pultron | chuy_max: You need to know where the partitions are at first. | 22:20 |
| dajhorn | ianq: Agreed. Fresh install. Gutsy will eat your system. | 22:20 |
| Cpudan80 | chuy_max: You can move it | 22:20 |

| adac2 | is it possible to run a thin client that boots from server but uses its own grafic card instead the one that is on the server? | 22:21 |

| === ohgood is now known as ohgone | ||
| lastelement0 | militantpotato that did not work | 22:22 |
| cybersoup | Super Sonic, there should be an option to upgrade in your Update Manager | 22:22 |
| Pultron | chuy_max mv -f /dev/hda1/home/yourusername /dev/hdb1/home/ | 22:22 |
| dajhorn | lastelement0: For specific example, you can do a supported EVMS install with the 'server' ISO and the upgrade to Gutsy will make the system non-bootable. | 22:23 |
| adac2 | Super-Sonic-Sega: just write in the terminal: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 22:23 |
| ak5 | beeja1: sry, but I can't find the options to compress my dir with mc | 22:23 |
| stroyan | ak5: If you want to move one big file to represent a directory, then you want an archive format like the tar command, tar -cjf foo.tar.bz2 foo | 22:23 |
| Pultron | chuy_max: Make sure to mount that partition :D | 22:23 |

| chuy_max | Pultron, ok, I see, and I just put it in fstab :) | 22:23 |
| Super-Sonic-Sega | and how do I make ftp connect through a proxy | 22:23 |
| dajhorn | lastelement0: For another example, doing an `apt-get dist-upgrade` to Gutsy will give your a busted trackerd install that will eat 100% of system resources. | 22:23 |
| ak5 | stroyan thx | 22:23 |
| Pultron | chuy_max: Glad I could help! :D | 22:23 |

| mfstitz | does anyone know how to configure clients to authenticate against an LDAP server? (Both are running ubuntu 7.10) Apparently there were merges in some of the config files between 7.04 and 7.10 and none of the current documentation out there has been written for guttsy | 23:10 |
| ctothej | tyronepolleri: I've tried it once before and had it mostly working, but it puts extra stress on your cpu, as it has to mix the audio together from multiple audio sources (software mixing). Its great for a sound server to play sound on 1 set of speakers from multiple machines though. | 23:10 |
| BigDaddy_ | OK, how about FTP servers. Anyone familiar with those? | 23:10 |

| valemon | Pelo: | 23:18 |
| valemon | Package unrar is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 23:18 |

| loxley_ | DanMulvey: ohh sorry | 23:18 |
| randorfer | sander go to system -> administration -> network then click on your wireless connection and click properties unenable roaming mode and put in your static ip information | 23:19 |

| Pelo | pamela, I don,t have info on your problem, you could also try searching in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org | 23:20 |

| theTrav | thanks, I only just noticed pidgin | 23:31 |
| theTrav | that wasn't in feisty right? | 23:32 |
| javaJake | No | 23:32 |
| Pelo | javaJake, I doubt you'll get an answer | 23:32 |
| randorfer | it prolly was called gaim | 23:32 |
| javaJake | Pelo, yea... *sigh* | 23:32 |
| randorfer | gaim became pidgin | 23:32 |
| javaJake | Any developer channels? | 23:32 |
| javaJake | They'd know | 23:32 |
| Pici | !ppc | javaJake | 23:32 |

| isforinsects | I'm looking to do some pretty bizarre fax to email server work, but I don't know what how how I should go about it. Does someone have a suggestion as to which # I should go ask in? | 23:32 |
| * SudoKing looks | 23:32 | |
| drulux | I would like to connect the two in a home network while letting the Vista computer manipulate the Ubuntu HDD, and letting the Ubuntu comp use the Vista computers internet connection. | 23:32 |
| javaJake | Pici, I'm using Fesity. That's supported. :/ | 23:32 |
| ceil420 | how do i boot with kernel option pci=noacpi or acpi=off? | 23:32 |
| Pelo | javaJake, you might try checking the ubuntuwebsite for the release notes, but I dont, hvae a url for you | 23:32 |
| drulux | Just wondering if it's possible. | 23:33 |
| javaJake | Pelo, the release notes don't held | 23:33 |
| javaJake | help* | 23:33 |
| astro76 | drulux, windows has something called ICS, internet connection sharing, built-in, should be easy to set up | 23:33 |
| valemon | can I have in dapper's sources.list gutsy's repos? | 23:33 |
| Patchak | pici, I see in the ubuntu download repository there is : Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm) Compiz configuration settings manager, is this compiz itself or just an add on?? | 23:33 |
| drulux | astro76: Okay. Thanks. | 23:33 |
| Pelo | valemon, it is not recommended | 23:33 |
| javaJake | Is there a list of kernel options enabled for different Ubuntu installations? | 23:33 |
| Pici | Patchak: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 23:33 |
| LjL-Temp | drulux, that's a problem with Vista. you're looking for "ICS", or Internet Connection Sharing - try asking about that in ##windows. on the Ubuntu side, it's just a normal network connection. | 23:34 |
| Vad | Sorry, but it turns out I need to see what release of X11 how do I have. How can I do that? | 23:34 |
| drulux | Okay. | 23:34 |
| drulux | Thanks man. | 23:34 |
| randorfer | patchak: ccsm is compiz, by default gnome-compiz is installed (ccsm has more functionality / more bleeding edge) | 23:34 |
| Pelo | javaJake, I think it would probabaly be faster to install and test | 23:34 |
| ceil420 | how do i boot with kernel option pci=noacpi or acpi=off? | 23:34 |
| Patchak | Pici, the latest | 23:34 |

| FalandA | c'ya all good night everybody | 23:34 |
| Vad | javaJake: package not found.. | 23:35 |
| randorfer | patchak: install it and then select "advanced desktop effects" from the appearence menu | 23:35 |
| Patchak | Pici, just dropped from windows yesterday | 23:35 |
| javaJake | Pelo, well, thanks, but installing and testing would leave Ubuntu unbootable. :| | 23:35 |
| Pelo | ceil420, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add those options to the apropriate boot line | 23:35 |
| ctothej | !boot | ceil420 | 23:35 |

| tkooda | anyone here got a gutsy box they can try to build a package on? (I get an error while compiling the unmodified 'runit' sources) | 23:53 |
| tushyd | adac2: any ideas? | 23:53 |
| randorfer | metal-maniac: open a terminal and type, apt-get install ccsm , that will install compiz fusion for you. Then enable it by going to system -> preferences -> apperance -> visual effects and choosing custom. You will then configure it using the "advanced desktop effects" under system -> preferences | 23:53 |
| jussio1 | Metal-Maniac-Mat: run it as root | 23:54 |
| adac2 | tushyd: you using ndiswrapper | 23:54 |
| adac2 | ? | 23:54 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | I DID | 23:54 |
| omar | السلام | 23:54 |
| jussio1 | !ar | 23:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ar - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:54 |
| flyingfree | how do I change xubuntu back into ubuntu | 23:54 |
| tushyd | adac2: nope, it was working for a while | 23:54 |
| flyingfree | is it just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? | 23:54 |
| randorfer | tyronepolleri: are you sure that is it on partition two? | 23:54 |
| josiahw | purplebob: ah that makes more sense... thank you I will try that | 23:54 |
| jussio1 | Metal-Maniac-Mat: did you reply to me or randorfer? | 23:54 |
| tushyd | adac2: but then all of a sudden it stopped working. It also won't switch from roaming mode | 23:54 |
| Cinam_Wrk | stop inviting ppl in here - if they want to come - they will | 23:55 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | randorfer | 23:55 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | lol | 23:55 |

| CyberAgeVoodoo | bmk, try this http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ | 23:55 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | can you pm | 23:55 |
| tyronepolleri | randorfer: yes but just in case how can i check? | 23:55 |
| adac2 | tushyd: then i fear the card could be broken | 23:55 |
| jussio1 | Metal-Maniac-Mat: just add sudo befor his command | 23:55 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | all this writting is confuzling me | 23:55 |
| randorfer | metal-maniac: sorry, sudo apt-get install ccsm | 23:55 |
| tushyd | but some routers work and some don't? | 23:55 |
| adac2 | tushyd: you didnÄt change the sestem? | 23:55 |
| randorfer | tyronepolleri: type mount | 23:55 |
| adac2 | *system | 23:55 |
| josiahw | purplebob: that seems to be doing the trick | 23:55 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | mmk | 23:55 |
| tushyd | I don't think so... I don't really know enough | 23:55 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | we shall see | 23:55 |
| lurix66 | hello | 23:56 |
| tushyd | maybe I will format and reinstall | 23:56 |
| tyronepolleri | randorfer: mount /dev/sda2 ? | 23:56 |
| tushyd | or try a live cd | 23:56 |
| tyronepolleri | randorfer: or only mount | 23:56 |
| adac2 | tushyd: yea try that...than you see | 23:56 |
| randorfer | tyronepolleri: no, mount with no arugments and see if sda2 is mounted | 23:56 |
| tushyd | adac2: thanks | 23:56 |

| tkooda | could someone please try this on a gutsy box and tell me if it builds for them?: `wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/r/runit/{runit_1.7.2-1.dsc,runit_1.7.2.orig.tar.gz,runit_1.7.2-1.diff.gz} && dpkg-source -x runit_1.7.2-1.dsc && cd runit-1.7.2 && dpkg-buildpackage` | 23:56 |
| randorfer | tyronepolleri: otherwise open use gparted and check what parition number your ntfs drive is | 23:56 |
| tyronepolleri | randorfer: no it is not mounted | 23:56 |
| spiekey | e.g. eth0 should be called "internet" | 23:56 |
