| budgee | sanbonani bafowethu! | 00:03 |
| budgee | who do i speak with about the ubuntu wiki? i would like some help with the theme | 00:04 |
| budgee | i reckon i am looking for dudes by the names of Nir Soffer, Thomas Waldmann | 00:05 |
| phiqtion | why does terminal asks for cd when using apt-get? | 00:08 |
| brunner | GigiRock: the no Dead Battery Provision allows for up to 1.5A | 00:08 |
| brunner | for USB 2, at least | 00:08 |
| budgee | phiqtion: is the cd in your /etc/apt/sources.list file? | 00:08 |
| phiqtion | budgee: how do i know? | 00:09 |
| inversekinetix | I just started up my pc this morning and chose ubuntu from grub, but the boot process went slowly, showing all kinds of details of the boot process then stalled, told me I had mounted the root drive 35 time without checking it and then went on to do some kind of scandisk, is this normal? | 00:09 |
| georgy_28 | inversekinetix, : yes, absolutly | 00:09 |
| BigToe7000 | your mom's a what | 00:09 |
| budgee | phiqtion: grep cdrom /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:10 |
| budgee | if it returns an uncommented line then you ahve it in the list | 00:10 |
| inversekinetix | georgy_28 why? | 00:10 |
| georgy_28 | inversekinetix, : just a check disk | 00:10 |
| inversekinetix | georgy_28 it seems weird, the computer is getting slower and slower, it now takes 10 seconds between logging in a gettiing a usable desktop | 00:11 |
| Slart | inversekinetix: it does this every 30 times or so the disk is mounted.. | 00:11 |
| Slart | inversekinetix: it gets really annoying if you dual boot a lot =/ | 00:12 |
| atreides | Good evening folks | 00:13 |
| inversekinetix | Slart it doesnt just check the root partition it checks the whole drive, what is it doing? will it attempt to repair errors automatocally? i dont want it to touch data on other partitions | 00:13 |
| darkentity | does anyone know when u add ndiswrapper to to /etc/modules if u should add it inbetween fp, ls or inbetween fp,ls and the comments | 00:13 |
| Fjordside | anyone know if psubuntu has a IRC channel? | 00:13 |
| brunner | how much power do modern cell phones typically consume? | 00:13 |
| brunner | Fjordside: searchirc.com | 00:13 |
| georgy_28 | darkentity, : at the end | 00:14 |
| juano__ | what can i use to burn dvd/cds like k3b but on gnome ? | 00:14 |
| darkentity | all the way at the end so thats after fp, ls right georgy | 00:14 |
| Slart | inversekinetix: it does this for all drives you mount.. as I recall it will drop you into a emergency shell if something is wrong.. there you can repair, backup, write an angry letter to your computer manufacturer etc.. and then continue the boot process if it's possible | 00:14 |
| inversekinetix | brunner, not much, but it depend on whether its in standby, connected data/voice/ stationary/mobile etc etc | 00:14 |
| georgy_28 | darkentity, : yes | 00:14 |
| darkentity | thanks georgy] | 00:14 |
| atreides | Is it safe to just shout out a question at the channel? | 00:14 |
| inversekinetix | Slart is there anyway to disable this feature | 00:15 |
| brunner | inversekinetix: standby, stationary, just charging | 00:15 |
| robdig | !ask | atreides | 00:15 |
| ubotu | atreides: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 00:15 |
| Slart | atreides: that's how most people do it, yes =) | 00:15 |
| inversekinetix | brunner it shouldnt use much at all | 00:15 |
| atreides | Didn't want to be due :) | 00:15 |
| atreides | rude* | 00:15 |
| Slart | inversekinetix: yes.. it might involve changing a '1' to a '0' in /etc/fstab.. don't remember which one though.. I vaguely recall there being a setting somewhere else for the number of mounts between checks too.. | 00:16 |
| budgee | who do i speak with about the ubuntu wiki? i would like some help with getting hold of the theme... | 00:16 |
| atreides | I altered my xorg.conf so my tv would act like a secondary display...it all works, and I have a fully functioning dual-display setup. there is no actual lag with any applications, but the menus all have a 2 second lag...even menus within applications | 00:16 |
| robdig | budgee: think there is a contact list on the wiki, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiTeam | 00:17 |
| inversekinetix | brunner check here, this is my phone and you can see the typical power drain http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/english/product/foma/904i/sh904i/main.html | 00:17 |
| Slart | atreides: no worries.. even if you're nice someone will get upset with you, even if you're rude, someone will be nice to you.. but of course.. you'll get better answers if you're nice =) | 00:17 |

| uber | Hello. I need help. I have been trying to get this to work for 3 days and I am unable to. | 00:17 |
| inversekinetix | uber what is it | 00:18 |
| darkentity | when u set up a driver for wireless usb cards do u have to edit any files for the wireless router its connecting to?? everything seems to work fine ...ubuntu detects the wireless network but it just doesnt connect, its an open network no wpa | 00:18 |
| uber | How do I triple boot Vista XP and 7.10 | 00:18 |
| Slart | uber: tell us what "this" is and we might be able to help | 00:18 |
| === s0ulstice is now known as badkitty | ||
| brunner | inversekinetix: awesome, thanks! | 00:18 |
| badkitty | uber.. whats the third OS? | 00:18 |
| Slart | uber: xp and 7.10 I've done.. haven't tried it with vista yet | 00:18 |
| inversekinetix | uber you should install vista then xp then 7.10 last | 00:19 |
| uber | badkitty: ubuntu 7.10 | 00:19 |
| noelferreira | since hi start my computer until the login screen i don't have image (only a blank screen). i have amd64 and gutsy. any help? | 00:19 |
| badkitty | uber: is the third XP? | 00:19 |
| budgee | robdig: ngiyabonga (thanks) | 00:19 |
| allenc | Hi, avast didn't correctly install.. how do I uninstall it? | 00:19 |
| badkitty | uber: oh haha i got ya | 00:19 |
| Krampus | I have an ubuntu machine with two NICs in it. It seems to swap eth0 and eth1 assignment every boot. How can I make it pick one and stick with it? | 00:19 |
| noelferreira | since hi start my computer until the login screen i don't have image (only a black screen). i have amd64 and gutsy. any help? | 00:19 |
| inversekinetix | or you could install in any order and use winGRUB to boot linux | 00:19 |
| Slart | noelferreira: try disabling the splash screen.. works for me | 00:19 |
| badkitty | uber: yah make your partitions first then install vista, then xp then gutsy | 00:19 |
| uber | And that's what I did. You told me to do that and that is the order. I have installed Vista, then XP, then I am asking here. | 00:20 |
| robdig | budgee: np, hope it helps | 00:20 |
| inversekinetix | uber now install linux then | 00:20 |
| uber | I have a 35 gb vista part, a 30 gb XP part, and around 400 gb linux | 00:20 |
| noelferreira | Slart, where in gconf-editor? | 00:20 |
| uber | ok | 00:20 |
| uber | well | 00:20 |
| Hilikus | im trying to mount a usb hdd using pmount, if i specify --umask to have no execute permission, files are good (no exec) but dirs arent browsable, but if i specify umask to have execute perm then all my files are executables, how does ubuntu normally handles this? | 00:20 |
| Slart | Krampus: you can select which card gets to be eth0 etc somewhere.. don't remember exactly where but it's possible.. perhaps some udev rule | 00:20 |
| inversekinetix | uber GRUB should detect the other OS and add them to grub menu | 00:20 |
| uber | I am going to have seperate parts for games music files (documents pictures random stuff I would use on all 3) | 00:21 |
| uber | inversekinetix: oh really? | 00:21 |
| uber | so I can simply make all my parts with something then install 7.10 on the 3rd one, and when I reboot it will let me choose? | 00:21 |
| Slart | noelferreira: not in gconf.. open /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the "splash" for your boot command.. you can also do this directly when booting.. just edit the line and remove splash.. or perhaps you add "nosplash".. | 00:21 |
| juano__ | why is it that with rhythmbox you cant control fast forward or rewind in music files when they are from remote machine in your lan | 00:21 |
| juano__ | ? | 00:21 |
| uber | if vista is on 1st and xp on 2nd? | 00:21 |
| atreides | Would anyone happen to know why my menus all lag about 2 seconds now that I have a tv configured as a second display? No lag in applications, nothing unusual in system monitor, just slow menus - any clues? :) | 00:22 |
| badkitty | uber: yes it should | 00:22 |
| uber | ok. | 00:22 |
| Slart | noelferreira: disregard the splash.. just add a nosplash | 00:22 |
| uber | Thank you. | 00:22 |
| uber | I just did not want to screw it up yet again. | 00:22 |
| uber | As Vista and XP are currently working perfectly. | 00:22 |
| uber | Well | 00:22 |
| badkitty | uber: why triple boot? | 00:22 |
| uber | Unless XP broke the vista install, which I doubt it did. | 00:22 |
| uber | Vista for DX10 games | 00:22 |
| maximal_ | uber: put the 3 os on primary partitions and then create an extended drive for your data partitions and swap | 00:23 |
| uber | extended drive? | 00:23 |
| maximal_ | uber: how many physical disks do you have? | 00:23 |
| uber | I have 1 | 00:23 |
| uber | 500 gb | 00:23 |
| * Pelo is fed and happy, all is right with the world | 00:23 | |
| maximal_ | uber: you can only have 4 primary partitions per disk | 00:24 |
| * MrMarc just munched on a pack of doritos with garlic dip and salsa dip | 00:24 | |
| uber | XP supports almost all of the homebrew for psp, and almost all applications run on xp (not necessarily well) but it is always supported | 00:24 |
| inversekinetix | uber, i HOPE YOU DRIve doesnt fail | 00:24 |
| juano__ | do i need do i need to install something to be able to control remote music on ubuntu ? i can listen to the songs with rhythmbox except i cant fast forward or rewind in them ? | 00:24 |
| uber | Hrm? | 00:24 |
| * Pelo gives MrMarc a mint | 00:24 | |
| allenc | my avast install failed... how do I uninstall / remove it? | 00:24 |
| * elubrius is hungary and requests ubuntooers to stop talking about food | 00:24 | |
| uber | inverse: what do you mean? | 00:25 |
| * MrMarc consumes mint and kisses Pelo - i can only assume thats what he wanted! | 00:25 | |
| * inversekinetix offers elubrius a doner kebab | 00:25 | |
| MrMarc | oooh | 00:25 |
| Pelo | juano__, you mght want to try another player, amarok is well thought of | 00:25 |
| MrMarc | yes please | 00:25 |
| smmagic | Does anyone recommend any cd creators that let you choose speed? | 00:25 |
| MrMarc | donner kebab ftw ;o | 00:25 |

| savage_machine | Slart, where can i disable splash-screen? in gconf-editor? | 00:26 |
| Pelo | smmagic, gnomebaker for gnome | 00:26 |
| jimjam | atreides: Lower your expectations. | 00:26 |
| inversekinetix | juano__ 'listen' is turning out to be a nice player | 00:26 |
| uber | so should I buy different drives for each os? cause I can, I just need to get things done. | 00:26 |
| smmagic | gnoembaker...sudo apt-get install gnomebaker | 00:26 |
| MrMarc | does anyone here have experience with using an xbox 360 controller on gutsy? | 00:26 |
| uber | and then leave the 500 gb to data | 00:26 |
| Pelo | smmagic, yep that would do it | 00:26 |
| maximal_ | uber: use the drive you have - just make backups of your data | 00:27 |
| inversekinetix | uber, for me I have 1 80GB drive for the OSs and a bunch of fat drives for data | 00:27 |
| Pelo | MrMarc, for stuff like that I recommend looking in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org | 00:27 |
| MrMarc | i just followed a guide on the forums for installing said controller and i think it's gone fine | 00:27 |
| MrMarc | just one little thing i'm unsure of heh | 00:27 |
| juano__ | inversekinetix: ok ill try it thanks | 00:27 |
| uber | Why fat drives? | 00:27 |
| robdig | allenc: not familiar with avast, but if you used a package manager to install it, you can uninstall it | 00:27 |
| uber | or did you mean something besides fat32? | 00:27 |
| uber | or fat16 | 00:28 |
| inversekinetix | uber fat as in large | 00:28 |
| uber | kk | 00:28 |

| inversekinetix | uber after you did a fresh install did you back up the drive? | 00:29 |
| navets | what is the difference between the ubuntu DVD and live CD? | 00:29 |
| Pockets | hi i have a problem | 00:29 |
| smmagic | Does gnomebaker burn iso images? | 00:29 |
| uber | not yet. I was going to wait until I got all 3 working | 00:29 |
| uber | together | 00:29 |
| uber | then do it | 00:29 |
| excitatory | So, on gutsy, how does one go about setting up a new second display on a feisty upgraded install? or would I be best to install gutsy fresh and let it autoconfigure my two monitors? (ati 9600, VGA & DVI ports) | 00:29 |
| robdig | Pelo: thx, was trying to answer a q for someone | 00:29 |
| Pelo | navets, dvd has all the isntallers on it and the complete firsted two repos, I dont, remember what they are caled | 00:29 |
| Pelo | smmagic, yes it does under tools | 00:30 |
| Pockets | i dont know how to install grapichs card drivers, i got the linux driver but dont know how to install | 00:30 |
| navets | Pelo, so it has more options? | 00:30 |
| smmagic | Ah..thanks | 00:30 |
| navets | Pelo, does it give you the option of Gnome or KDE? | 00:30 |
| Pelo | robdig, me too I just got confused my commend was adressed to allenc | 00:30 |
| savage_machine | Slart, where can i disable splash-screen? in gconf-editor? | 00:31 |
| Pelo | navets, more install options yes and you can use the dvd for repository if you want to install on a comp that is not connectd to the net | 00:31 |
| robdig | Pelo: np | 00:31 |
| elubrius | Pockets. An Nvidia driver? | 00:31 |
| uber | But if you think that I should do it for each one, I can do that | 00:31 |
| Pockets | yes | 00:31 |
| Slart | savage_machine: nope.. you edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:31 |
| Pelo | navets, by default the ubuntu dvd will install gnome , but you can probabaly install kde from it as well, not sure , but not fromt eh install, afterward | 00:31 |
| navets | Pelo, thanks :) | 00:31 |
| Pockets | the computer has like 4 years old | 00:32 |
| Slart | savage_machine: type this in a terminal "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 00:32 |
| inversekinetix | uber whatever works best for you, its just nice being able to reinstall everything quickly if it borks | 00:32 |
| phiqtion | where can i download themes from? | 00:32 |
| === cloud__ is now known as ChaosMachine | ||

| uber | kk | 00:33 |
| elubrius | Pockets: if the file ends in .run then type sh the_name_of_the_driver into a terminal | 00:33 |
| Slart | savage_machine: then you find a line that starts with "# defoptions=" and add "nosplash after the equal sign.. so it says "# defoptions=nosplash" ... if there are other things on that line you just add a space and put nosplash after that | 00:33 |
| Pelo | Pockets, you might find this usefull http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ | 00:34 |
| Pockets | there is no .run file | 00:34 |

| Slart | MrMarc: yes.. having a virtual windows drive doesn't stop you from running windows software from anywhere you want.. even your "other" windows drive | 00:44 |
| Pelo | Pockets, menu > system > admin> softare sources | 00:44 |
| uber | inverse: I am going to leave. anything besides a imaging program a harddrive for os's a backup hd for storing the images I would need? | 00:45 |
| MrMarc | so in regards of drive space - Wine will not touch my ubuntu partition if i'm running something already installed on windows | 00:45 |
| MrMarc | correct? | 00:45 |
| Slart | Pockets: if you start synaptic, system, administration, synaptic pacakage manager.. it connects automatically to the repos and gives you a list of software that is available | 00:45 |
| Slart | MrMarc: hmm.. I wouldn't bet money on it.. but I don't think it does | 00:45 |
| Lachlan | hello im trying to install Ubuntu but i cant change which device to load from first in my bios. my keyboard is a logitech G11. can anybody help me? | 00:45 |
| Pelo | MrMarc, wine creates it's own folder tree in /home/user/.wine so that windows apps can run | 00:46 |
| CapNemo | wow 1158 users here ! :) | 00:46 |
| MrMarc | alright cool - just seeing how much i can migrate - newbie to ubuntu :) | 00:46 |
| zachary | MrMarc, No it will not | 00:46 |
| MrMarc | have tried running it before but after a fresh install last night i'm really liking gutsy | 00:46 |
| Pelo | Lachlan, just hit del when your computer boots that should get you the bios, on some comp f8 at boot lets you select the boot device | 00:46 |
| MrMarc | got loads of games and the like installed on xp though >_< | 00:46 |
| julio3patas | are there any download accelerators for ubuntu like flashgot??? thanks | 00:47 |
| georgy_28 | Lachlan, : or F10 or F2 | 00:47 |
| Pelo | julio3patas, look in synaptic do a search | 00:47 |
| Pockets | ok i wrote lspci | grep VGA in terminal and says | 00:47 |
| Slart | MrMarc: games and wine are getting better.. but there is still a long way to go... | 00:47 |
| RunSeven | hello i have a question you will probably laugh at... i just installed a packet (truecrypt)... now where did the program go and how can i start truecrypt? | 00:47 |
| Pockets | GeForce MX 440 | 00:47 |
| phenom | hehe | 00:47 |
| zachary | MrMarc, Think of it as an emulator only much more. Programs are installed the same way windows installs them, there is a regedit program just like windows, WINE is like the core structure of windows to install and use apps | 00:47 |
| MrMarc | well from what i've seen Steam games are well reported on WIne which is good for me | 00:47 |
| Slart | RunSeven: try typing "truecrypt" in a terminal.. or look in the menues for some icon | 00:47 |
| Pelo | RunSeven, probabaly from the command line, type truecrypt | 00:47 |
| RunSeven | ok thanks | 00:48 |
| MrMarc | and Guild Wars works which is half of my life right there lol | 00:48 |
| phenom | runseven: $ whereis truecrypt | 00:48 |
| crdlb | Pockets: if you have a working GUI, go to System>Administration>Restricted Drivers Manager | 00:48 |
| === recon0 is now known as recon | ||
| Pelo | RunSeven, a prog like that might be listed under prefs or admin , not in applications | 00:48 |
| uber | anyone know a compatible linux wireless adapter? | 00:48 |
| Pockets | done | 00:48 |
| uber | preferably usb? | 00:48 |
| lgc | Hi. Is there something like a package list kept somewhere, so that, if I reinstall, I don't have to manually reinstall every package? | 00:49 |
| Pelo | uber, check in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 00:49 |
| Amebaid | can i install windows inside ubuntu ?? | 00:49 |
| Pockets | says that i havent got the driver for graphics | 00:49 |
| zachary | MrMarc, I havn't personally tried any games on it, but there are whole communities dedicated to late-title WINE gaming | 00:49 |
| uber | pelo: thanks | 00:49 |
| Pelo | Amebaid, using vmware or another virtual machine | 00:49 |
| RunSeven | ok it is nowere under icons but it is installed it says it is in usr/bin/truecrypt | 00:49 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | How do i remove menu entries from the Applications menu? I am using Ubuntu 7.10 | 00:49 |
| Lachlan | when i get to bios i can press F12 to change boot device but then the keyboard stops working and wont let me chooce a device with the arrow keys | 00:49 |
| MrMarc | i could imagine zachary - frankly i'm just overwhelmed with where to begin in so many areas | 00:49 |
| Slart | lgc: I think there is a tool that saves your package list so you can just tell it to "reinstall all my stuff from the list".. can't remember what that tool is called though | 00:49 |
| Pockets | it seems is downloading something | 00:49 |
| |unjustice| | trying to get my friend some information on Ubuntu Gutsy (he is about to switch over) and I need a link to a site with info on Amarok, Audacity, Open Office, VLC player etc. Anybody got a URL? | 00:49 |
| Pelo | RunSeven, just type truecrypt in the terminal | 00:49 |
| crdlb | !clone | lgc | 00:50 |
| ubotu | lgc: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 00:50 |
| MrMarc | i'm liking sitting here with my gnome desktop but really i'm not doing anything useful... yet :P | 00:50 |
| BlueLaguna | Where's the "Startup" folder in GNOME? | 00:50 |
| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: Right click applications menu, and edit menus. | 00:50 |
| inversekinetix | MrMarc: some games work well in wine and some are a nightmare, I have given up trying to use wine for games due to the lack of help and bad attitude encountered while looking for help | 00:50 |
| lgc | Slart, crdlb, thanks. | 00:50 |
| Amebaid | Pelo: do you know any other virtual machine beside vmware ? | 00:50 |
| MrMarc | bad attitude, really? :\ | 00:50 |
| julio3patas | Pelo: ok , what am i looking for there is only one i can find axel, is that the onlyone | 00:50 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: thanks | 00:50 |
| inversekinetix | BlueLaguna: maybe in the sessions screen? | 00:50 |
| zachary | MrMarc, I think we've all been there, but the community has been good to me in that regard, enough that I can finally give assistance with others. | 00:50 |
| phenom | youuu got it. | 00:50 |
| Pockets | ok crdlb, pelo thanks for all, im restarting and checking if works the graphics | 00:51 |
| Pockets | cya | 00:51 |
| MrMarc | well i'm hoping this is the linux install i can finally stick with | 00:51 |
| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: That was my first ubuntu question. ;) | 00:51 |
| inversekinetix | BlueLaguna: system >>> preferences>>> sessions | 00:51 |
| Amebaid | any other application that can do the same as vmware ..? | 00:51 |
| MrMarc | i've had too many times and too many distros i've installed then wiped after a few hours | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | MrMarc: what other distros have you tried | 00:51 |
| Pelo | |unjustice|, try wikipedia , the articles ill probably have direct links to the apps' site, or the gnome website or the kde website, there are also screenshots site that will show you a lot of the default apps in a distro | 00:51 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: that only hides entries, i wanna completely remove them. | 00:51 |
| MrMarc | first time i tried linux was with.... fedora 2 | 00:51 |
| zachary | MrMarc, You running 7.10? | 00:51 |
| MrMarc | and then a variety of distros from then on | 00:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm | 00:51 |
| dtolj_ | Amebaid: yes VirtualBox | 00:51 |
| MrMarc | i'm now on 7.10 yes | 00:51 |
| Pelo | Amebaid, virtualbox I think is one but I am not big on vms, I don'T need them | 00:51 |
| BlueLaguna | inversekinetix: Is there any folder similar to ~/.kde/Autostart? | 00:52 |
| zachary | MrMarc, My first distro was Fedora 4 | 00:52 |
| MrMarc | and for the first time i can say i'm enjoying using linux | 00:52 |
| BlueLaguna | I'm really looking to do this automatically | 00:52 |
| lgc | !automate | 00:52 |
| ubotu | Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning | 00:52 |
| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: You've tried to uninstall a program unsuccessfully i take it? | 00:52 |
| crdlb | BlueLaguna: ~/.config/autostart | 00:52 |
| phenom | And it left the icon? | 00:52 |
| inversekinetix | BlueLaguna: Im not that well versed in linux yet, sorry | 00:52 |
| crdlb | BlueLaguna: you must put .desktop files in there, I don't think symlinks work | 00:52 |
| MrMarc | Fedora was nice when i tried it - but having a PCI-ADSL modem i couldn't get anywhere with it | 00:52 |
| zachary | MrMarc, I like the Debian way of doing things alot more than the Red Hat derived distros | 00:52 |
| MrMarc | infact that stopped me getting anywhere with nearly all distros | 00:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | ya | 00:52 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: yeah, i tried to uninstall a wine program, but the menu entry is still there | 00:52 |
| Pelo | julio3patas, I didn'T even know there was one, you can try searching with other key words or also look in add/remove under the applicatsion menu, it only lists apps that can be installed, under internet , all availablewill be listed | 00:53 |
| BlueLaguna | crdlb: Hmm, I see | 00:53 |
| BlueLaguna | Thanks | 00:53 |
| * Pelo is too slow tonight | 00:53 | |
| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: You know you can rght click on menu items and delete them. | 00:53 |
| phenom | Not only untick them. | 00:53 |
| julio3patas | Pelo: thx | 00:53 |
| zachary | MrMarc, It's all preference I guess. | 00:53 |
| MrMarc | of course | 00:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | I always liked Fedora, then i tried Debian, and no more RPM for me. | 00:54 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: i right clicked on the item, but it does not show a delete option | 00:54 |
| MrMarc | i liked fedora from what i could do with it offline | 00:54 |
| MrMarc | but not being able to access the net in any distros put me off linux for a long time | 00:54 |
| Pelo | MrMarc, you can try kde if you want , sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , you can switch between the two from the login screen | 00:54 |
| RunSeven | ok thank you all i found the program and can use it now! thanks again! | 00:54 |

| timi | Hey, can anyone help me with installing the correct drivers for the intel Pro/Wireless 3956ABG card? | 00:55 |
| zachary | MrMarc, With my Fedora 6 experience you had to be connected to the net to uninstall programs via the gui. I didn't like that Idea much. | 00:55 |
| * IndyGunFreak glares at Pelo for suggesting KDE to someone | 00:55 | |
| MrMarc | i know of alot of fanboyism regarding KDE and Gnome lol | 00:55 |
| Pelo | MrMarc, you can also check in add/remove and see what other aps are available for you , if the default ones aren'T enough | 00:55 |
| dtolj_ | zachary: I am sure they fixed that in the latest release | 00:55 |
| timi | Anyone? | 00:55 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: i right clicked on the item, but it does not show a delete option | 00:55 |
| MrMarc | i've already done quite a bit in regard to getting new apps | 00:56 |
| MrMarc | found a wicked starter guide | 00:56 |
| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: That is,, weird. Shows delete on mine. Are you logged in in username with vague permissions? I can not think of why it will not let you delete from the menu. | 00:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | MrMarc: KDE gave me the flu, seriously.. stay away.. :) | 00:56 |
| lgc | Pelo, hi. Do you happen to know if gnome-panel should restart after being killed on Gutsy? | 00:56 |
| MrMarc | http://www.futuredesktop.com/ - helped me big time :) | 00:56 |
| dtolj_ | GNOME all the way | 00:56 |
| Pelo | IndyGunFreak, I'm all about customer satisfaction, and I donT' have a choice anymore I've been recruted , I have to tow the party line | 00:56 |
| zachary | dtolj_, I have fedora 8 on my test box, I have yet to confirm that. :) | 00:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 00:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: recruited for what? | 00:56 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: there is only 1 user, and it should be a admin account. | 00:56 |
| === Iglo_ is now known as Iglo- | ||
| Pelo | lgc, gnome panel will be restarted automaticaly | 00:56 |
| MrMarc | oh well IndyGunFreak - i'll have it installed should i ever wanna have a look! | 00:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | MrMarc: this is true. | 00:57 |
| John_5 | Hey all I just picked up a new network card, it's a Realtek RTL8139D | 00:57 |
| BlueLaguna | crdlb: Do you know where I can find the .desktop file syntax since I can't use a symlink? | 00:57 |
| MrMarc | over time i'm gonna gradually increase the size of the linux partition and see how much more i can do with it | 00:57 |
| mortal1 | has anyone here ever had abiword crash on them? I have a .SAVED file now, but I don't know what to do with it | 00:57 |
| zachary | MrMarc, I like kde, and kde 4 looks great in beta. Gnome is a little more stable in my opinion, and I am familiar with how gnome works which is why I like it. | 00:57 |
| John_5 | will Ubuntu automatically recognise it and install the drivers? | 00:57 |
| * Pelo is disapointed that IndyGunFreak didn't notice | 00:57 | |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: just did...lol, congrats.. i couldn't do it. | 00:57 |
| crdlb | BlueLaguna: create one graphically, then open it in a text editor. It's quite simple format :) | 00:57 |
| infinitycircuit | John_5: yes it should | 00:57 |
| MrMarc | well zachary - i have gnome running with compiz and i like that alot :) | 00:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: it'd drive me crazy | 00:58 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: there is only 1 user, and it should be a admin account. | 00:58 |
| MrMarc | tbh i have no use for 4 desktops and a spinny cube but i love it all the same | 00:58 |
| lgc | Pelo, hmm... not mine. How wonderful surprises I've found in Gutsy! (Starting with the fact that I can't even start with the 2.6.22 kernel). | 00:58 |
| martin__ | g | 00:58 |
| crdlb | BlueLaguna: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ | 00:58 |
| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: I'm trying to come up with a reason you dont see the delete option. :/ | 00:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: lol | 00:58 |
| John_5 | Alrighty then time to pop it in then | 00:58 |
| John_5 | Cya all I'll tell you how it goes | 00:58 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: ok | 00:58 |
| zachary | MrMarc, I like the compiz effects too, and I am sure it will be better once the little bugs are worked out with it. | 00:58 |
| Pelo | lgc, restart X , the panel should restart aswell | 00:58 |
| infinitycircuit | John_5: make sure you don't have a proprietary security chip | 00:58 |
| martin__ | slovakia? | 00:59 |
| MrMarc | more than anything i really need to make a checklist of things i need to sort out | 00:59 |
| infinitycircuit | John_5: it shouldn't be a problem unless you have an older thinkpad | 00:59 |
| MrMarc | namely - mouse, multimedia keyboard functions, getting the bloody right resoltuion nailed in xorg and keeping it that way | 00:59 |
| mortal1 | Help! I was writing a term paper and abiword crashed, now I have a .SAVED file, has anyone seen this? | 00:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | MrMarc: don't worry, you'll hose it a few times and end up reinstalling, when you solve an odd problem, document how you solved it, and back it up. | 00:59 |
| zachary | MrMarc, I have neat and smooth transitions on my GMA 910 IGP, which is more than I can say for the comparable hardware running vista | 00:59 |
| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: Your right clicking on the left menu column arent you? | 01:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | oops | 01:00 |
| Pelo | mortal1, opne abiword and from the file menu select open an open the .saved file , see if your work is still there | 01:00 |
| MrMarc | tbh the one thing i do like about vista is it's hardware recognition | 01:00 |
| lgc | Pelo, I wish that were all... my machine became just partly-usable since I installed "#$"#$"# Gutsy! | 01:00 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: i think so, i am not sure | 01:00 |
| MrMarc | just a shame everything else feels so.... unatural | 01:00 |
| Pelo | lgc, lovely, did you instal or upgrade ? | 01:00 |
| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: Can yolu not resolve your issue by right clicking on the left menu column. | 01:00 |
| phenom | Right click on right column and see if you see delete. | 01:00 |
| timi | Does anyone know how to get an intel 3945ABG card working? :( | 01:01 |
| MrMarc | at the same time though - i imagine an initial complaint from ANYBODY new to linux is the greater ammount of depth that has to be gone into to do what would be trivial on windows | 01:01 |
| noah_ | Hey is there any reason why the animations plugin isn't working but all other compize effects are? | 01:01 |
| lgc | Pelo, upgraded...there's crap everywhere: even the elefant skin background looks like crap! | 01:01 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: i see no delete option | 01:01 |
| Pelo | timi, videocard ? should work out of the box | 01:01 |
| zachary | MrMarc, The resolution app is new. Worked for me first time, but choked when I wanted an external monitor. Overall it's functional but could use some work | 01:01 |
| mortal1 | Pelo: Yeah I tried to open it with abiword, but it's apparently a latex file | 01:01 |
| MrMarc | so i guess saying unatural is a matter of perspective | 01:01 |
| timi | Pelo; No, Wireless internet card. | 01:01 |
| phenom | tee hee. funk | 01:01 |
| MrMarc | well it's not so much the resolution i have tbh - its refresh rates | 01:02 |
| noah_ | Hey is there any reason why the animations plugin isn't working but all other compize effects are? | 01:02 |
| MrMarc | which don't actually matter on tft monitors but still i'd like to sit and know i'm running at what i want it to | 01:02 |
| Pelo | lgc, wow, assujing your /home is on a seperate partiton, clean install, I've seen you around before I assume you would know enough to fix minor issues so this must be a doozy | 01:02 |
| MrMarc | but it seems to be very random in what it picks | 01:02 |
| Pelo | timi, try looking it up in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 01:02 |
| infinitycircuit | timi: you need to install the firmware, if it doesn't come installed by default. restricted drivers manager should do it for you | 01:02 |
| Pelo | !wifi | timi this might also help | 01:03 |
| ubotu | timi this might also help: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:03 |
| timi | Thanks, I will look | 01:03 |
| lgc | Pelo, I'd been upgrading all the way since Hoary with no major misfortune, but this time I think I won't be able to avoid the reinstall. | 01:03 |
| zachary | MrMarc, out of curiousity, which video card driver are you using? | 01:03 |
| MrMarc | erm.... the Nvidia driver from the restricted drivers manager | 01:03 |
| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: Right click "Applications"; Select "edit menus"; Left click on "accessories"; right click on something on the right hand column. | 01:03 |

| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: I think you havnt selected a menu item to delete. | 01:04 |
| Pelo | lgc, this was the first time I manage to upgrade , and I only realy had a minor issue with network manager, I had to redo my pppoe.conf settings and it fixed it | 01:04 |

| CaptainMorgan | I thought I installed php correctly, but every time I try to open a .php file from the web server, it asks if I want to save it rather than show the page... any ideas ? | 01:05 |
| Pelo | domor, if you want to restore it , right click on an empty space in the bottom pannel and select add to panel, or you can get a desktop one in gconf-editor under apps/nautilus/desktop | 01:05 |
| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: Cool, hope that works for you. | 01:05 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: but 1 problem, when i click on delete, it doesn't want to delete | 01:05 |
| MrMarc | but i can go into System / Administration / Screen and Graphics, tell it to run at 1440x900 at 60Hz - restart X - and it'll still run at 50Hz or anything between the two | 01:05 |
| phenom | hell :P | 01:06 |
| lgc | Pelo, your experience has been the exact opposite to mine. | 01:06 |
| domor | How do i get to the rash can | 01:06 |
| Pelo | CaptainMorgan, check in the FF prefs, for default actions, remove what ever you have listed for php files | 01:06 |
| phenom | Did you uninstall, what ever application? | 01:06 |
| Pelo | lgc, I realise that | 01:06 |

| domor | indygunfreak: ive tryed aeverything | 01:08 |
| domor | just says use restricted driver manager | 01:08 |
| infinitycircuit | domor: what kind of card is it | 01:09 |
| CaptainMorgan | one might think I have in fact check the pref's | 01:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | domor: ok, are you using restricted driver mgr? | 01:09 |
| domor | geforce 8500gt | 01:09 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | phenom: ok, i'll try. Thanks for the info | 01:09 |
| domor | indygunfreak: i dunno | 01:09 |
| infinitycircuit | domor: that sounds like a new card | 01:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | domor: system/admin/restricted driver, look and see if Nvidia driver is enabled. | 01:09 |
| Pelo | CaptainMorgan, in FF , in the prefs, under content, last button near the botom , file typs , see in there | 01:09 |
| phenom | Ubuntu_user_4190: sure. on the phone, ill bbl. | 01:09 |
| infinitycircuit | domor: you might want the .23 beta | 01:09 |
| HPM_ | Has anyone ever run into the issue of 'Error reading IFO for title set 1' when attempting to use dvdbackup? | 01:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | infinitycircuit: yeah, i think so, i think that card has given others problems | 01:10 |
| Pelo | CaptainMorgan, if there isnT' anything in there, I can only recommend you check in the forum or ask in #firefox | 01:10 |
| domor | indygunfreak: but hwen i enabel driver in restricted driver manager and my computer restart it can't boot and a box comes up saysing "use loe resolution" i tick that then ubuntu laods and i gointo restricted driver manager and it's got the "enabled" box unticked | 01:10 |
| CaptainMorgan | Pelo, there's no PHP selection | 01:10 |
| zachary | domor, open a terminal and type "gconf-editor" (without the quotes) then go to Edit>Find and type: trash_icon_visible and select "search in key names" then all you have to do is put a check in the box of which icons you want on your desktop. | 01:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | domor: wierd. | 01:10 |
| CaptainMorgan | I just installed the web server... it's got to be related to that ONLY - becaue I can open php files from other site | 01:10 |

| robdig | !hi | mellery | 01:12 |
| ubotu | mellery: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:12 |
| domor | your nice pelo | 01:12 |
| Ubuntu_user_4190 | how do i remove wine uninstall entries? I have already uninstall a program, but it still appears in the wine software uninstaller. | 01:12 |
| domor | haha | 01:12 |
| xevil | domor what card is it? | 01:12 |
| mellery | anyone know what all the text in openoffice is replaced by boxes? and how i can fix it? | 01:12 |
| infinitycircuit | domor: has it worked on any other distributions | 01:12 |
| Pelo | domor, don't say things like that , you'll get me a reputation | 01:12 |
| zachary | IndyGunFreak, please don't antagonize people who have issues setting up Ubuntu. You and I have both been there too. | 01:13 |
| thinh | is the right place to ask about router and firewall/ | 01:13 |
| domor | infinitycircuit: havn;t reyed, whats some other good distros? im a newbie | 01:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | zachary: ?... what are you talking about, mind your own business | 01:13 |
| Beholder | does anyone know how to add KDE4 to gdm? I can only find info on adding kdm sessions, but not gdm | 01:13 |
| infinitycircuit | domor: mandriva and sabayon come with proprietary drivers on their live cds | 01:13 |
| thinh | i have enable port forwarding on my router but i still get connection refuse | 01:13 |
| Beholder | i don't know how to init KDE4 | 01:13 |
| domor | is mandriva good? | 01:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | infinitycircuit: but mandriva is so gawd awful slow. | 01:13 |
| thinh | i try to connect to a computer behind a router/firewall | 01:13 |
| thinh | i can ping the router | 01:13 |
| Pelo | mellery, the tool icons are missing ? in the menu under tools > options > dysplay, you can set the theme use default for now it will restore some icons | 01:13 |
| infinitycircuit | i'm only suggesting this as a way to test if there is a hardware/driver problem | 01:13 |
| infinitycircuit | if it works in mandriva then it can work in ubuntu | 01:14 |
| infinitycircuit | mandriva is very slow i agree | 01:14 |
| francois_fon | hello, i have a probleme with driver grapik of my samsung Q35 with gutsy, anyone have an idea ? | 01:14 |
| thinh | does ubuntu has a default firewall or automatic blocks those ports? | 01:14 |
| mellery | thanks pelo, but i cant see what menus what, all i see are boxes | 01:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sabayon is nice, but complex for a newb , if he can't figure out Ubuntu, Sabayon will drive him insane | 01:14 |
| domor | mandriva run slow? | 01:14 |
| jack-desktop | Can any program run an existing Vista install (on another harddrive) | 01:14 |
| thinh | so even if ip forwarding is working it get stop at the ubuntu firewall | 01:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | domor: absurdly slow.. | 01:14 |
| jack-desktop | in it's on window type thing | 01:15 |
| juano__ | when i explore to open a file or folder, how can i open up smb: location and leave it there in the places shortcut tab at the left ? | 01:15 |
| dtolj_ | IndyGunFreak: what Sabayon is easy and loaded full of goodies :) | 01:15 |
| Pelo | mellery, I thnk I understand, did you play around with the ubuntu theme's fonts ? | 01:15 |
| crdlb | thinh: ubuntu does not have a firewall by default | 01:15 |
| Beholder | anybody managed to run KDE4 on Ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| phenom | thinh: "linux" has a built in firewall,, "iptables" yes. | 01:15 |
| domor | i like ubuntu | 01:15 |
| Nixcheese | nat != firewall | 01:15 |
| Pelo | mellery, or are you using a non latin language on either ubuntu or in OOo ? | 01:15 |
| infinitycircuit | the default iptables ruleset is empty | 01:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | dtolj_: but the instant you need something that isn't included w/ the distro, you better be good at compiling froms ource | 01:15 |
| domor | im goign to geta laptop soon ill use ubuntu on that | 01:15 |
| phenom | ubuntu does have a firewall by default, but you have to config it, | 01:15 |
| phenom | !firestarter | 01:15 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 01:15 |
| xevil | domor: what video card are you having trouble with? | 01:15 |
| domor | hopefully drievrs easier | 01:16 |
| thinh | how do i look into iptables? | 01:16 |
| crdlb | phenom: it's not blocking anything :) | 01:16 |

| Nixcheese | IndyGunFreak: I've yet to have to compile anything on ubuntu | 01:16 |
| phenom | thinh: Install Firestarter. | 01:16 |

| dtolj_ | juano__: bookmark it in nautilus | 01:16 |
| Nixcheese | I don't even have g++ installed yet | 01:16 |
| HPM_ | If anyone has has success with dvdbackup, mind taking a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45645/ and offering some advice? | 01:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nixcheese: then obviously, its because all the programs *you* need, are included. | 01:16 |
| phenom | Configuring iptables manually is not productive. | 01:16 |
| mellery | pelo, i've changed the fonts to opensymbol, but I dont use openoffice often so I've just noticed it, what are the default fonts? if opensymbol wont work? | 01:16 |
| phenom | whoops | 01:16 |
| domor | somone else must of had my same problem, but they probably use linx heaps and know hwo to fix it im a newbie and have no idea | 01:16 |
| Nixcheese | IndyGunFreak: or have .deb files | 01:16 |
| * Pelo 's dvd drive is going gaga running a dvd | 01:16 | |
| dtolj_ | IndyGunFreak: maybe thats why they include everything in hopes that users whould need to do that:) | 01:17 |
| xevil | domor: that card is well supported... is it the 3D drivers you're having trouble with? | 01:17 |
| Nixcheese | I need a lot of crap too | 01:17 |
| jeremy_c | I have long used Linux, but just got an AMD64 and NVidia 8600GT video card. Am I going to run into problems in running Ubuntu 64bit w/NVidia drivers? | 01:17 |

| jeremy_c | Nixcheese: great! The 64bit ISO is 69% done. Hope I have the same success. | 01:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | tich: i had a saved xorg.conf that would do that. | 01:18 |
| mellery | pelo, that fixed it! thanks a lot | 01:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | not sure if i still do though | 01:18 |
| Nixcheese | jeremy_c: I'm running amd64 and 6800 xt and have yet to have a problem with video | 01:18 |

| domor | infinitycircuit probably me trying to get help :) | 01:18 |
| infinitycircuit | domor: have you searched there? | 01:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | infinitycircuit: same here, i was just searching there, and a lot of threads come up with 8600gt probs | 01:18 |
| domor | yea | 01:18 |
| infinitycircuit | domor: no i remember someone had a solution | 01:18 |
| tich | IndyGunFreak: do you still have it! could you post it somewhere? | 01:19 |
| domor | o ok | 01:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | tich: hold on. | 01:19 |
| domor | can you go to history and find the page | 01:19 |
| infinitycircuit | domor: it had to do with changing to a vt, stopping the x server for five minutes, and installing the nvidia driver manually in the interim | 01:19 |
| xevil | domor: did you edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 01:19 |
| domor | xevil: yes! | 01:19 |
| phaedra | uber, http://linuxwireless.org/ | 01:19 |
| thinh | use firestarter to configure iptables? | 01:19 |
| Nixcheese | x config files are one of the scarryest things in the world | 01:19 |
| Pelo | Nixcheese, no the grub manual is | 01:20 |
| * Nixcheese takes a look | 01:20 | |
| Pelo | Nixcheese, want the link ? | 01:20 |
| PMantis | Hi guys. I just bought a new monitor, and it does 1680x1050. I edited my xorg.conf, but still only getting 1280x1024. Can anyone help diagnose? | 01:21 |
| Nixcheese | sure | 01:21 |
| phenom | Note about "all" about Firestarter: When you open Firestarter, it does not automatically remember your set rules.. Everytime you boot your comp, your pc's ports are visible until you start firestarter,, OR until you add a line to your local.rc | 01:21 |
| Nixcheese | man grub just says to get grub_doc | 01:21 |

| IndyGunFreak | tich: read this thread ENTIRELY and follow the instructions, and pay attention to the minor issue I had at the very end... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/dual-display-problem-or-am-i-expecting-to-much-534179/ | 01:21 |

| Nixcheese | ah, missed an l | 01:21 |
| BaD_CrC | JJtech: google? | 01:22 |
| Pelo | PMantis, you edited xorg.conf to add the extra rez you wanted ? in all color depth ? | 01:22 |
| tich | IndyGunFreak: sweet. thanks. | 01:22 |
| phenom | thinh: install Firestarter, and set you rules. Firestarter is a front end for iptables. But if you want your comp to automatically block your ports when you boot, you will need to add lines to your local.rc. | 01:22 |
| Pelo | Nixcheese, my mistake sorry | 01:22 |
| Nixcheese | np | 01:22 |
| PMantis | Pelo: Yes, in all... didn't work. use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg... that's no help. | 01:22 |
| PMantis | Pelo: Could my Sync and Refresh affect it? | 01:23 |
| phenom | Most pepople think when you install Firestarter, your protected at boot. But that is not the case. Your computer is not protected until you manually start Firestarter, or add the line to local.rc. | 01:23 |
| Pelo | PMantis, check the back of hte monitor , not the vert rez and horzi sync and compare with xorg | 01:23 |
| John_5 | Ubuntu rocks, it picked up my new network card just as well as windows | 01:23 |
| BaD_CrC | why does the colors in aptitude have to be so brownish ugly during download? | 01:23 |
| Pelo | BaD_CrC, cause we still like apt-get better and donT' want ppl to switch | 01:24 |
| xevil | domor: did you use the legacy driver? | 01:24 |
| John_5 | thought I'd have to go through kernel recompiling and source code editing | 01:24 |
| PMantis | Pelo: Hmmm, nothing on the back... I'll google | 01:24 |
| kbrooks | phenom, umm | 01:24 |
| timi | Pelo, is there much logic in downgrading to Dapper in order to make the network card work out of the box? | 01:24 |
| domor | xeveil i don;t know ive found a good thread im reading | 01:24 |
| RunSeven | another question, i just read a manual via man and now... how do i leave man and get back to the terminal? | 01:24 |

| phenom | kbrooks: easy chief | 01:25 |
| tich | IndyGunFreak: i haven't read it yet but i want to ask if you have to restart x to have it recognize the screen? or can you do something like nvidia-settings where it recognizes it without the restart? | 01:25 |
| robdig | RunSeven: press the 'q' key | 01:25 |

| kbrooks | phenom, firestarter is started when you install the package | 01:28 |

| Pelo | davef, I don't think usb stuff apears in places, my usb flsh and mp3 donT' | 01:29 |
| kbrooks | phenom, and the package even sets up it to be restarted when your computer starts the network! | 01:29 |
| phenom | Unless youadd the line to local.rc, I can assure you all, your iptables rules are not set until you start firestarter. | 01:30 |

| phenom | kbrooks: Before you start Firestarter, and after yuou boot. Typoe iptables -L | 01:30 |
| kbrooks | phenom, look in the source package, apt-get source firestarter for yourself | 01:30 |
| infinitycircuit | in my experience | 01:31 |
| infinitycircuit | firestarter always fails to start on boot | 01:31 |
| infinitycircuit | even though it is configured to do so by default | 01:31 |
| infinitycircuit | so you have to start it manually | 01:31 |
| strtok | hey, anyone running ubuntu with a broadcom 4306 integrated wireless, and having it disconnect randomly on some APs? | 01:31 |
| phenom | kbrooks: i have money saying your iptables rules arent set, ;) IF you have not added that l.ine to local.rc | 01:31 |
| phenom | Anyway, if yall want to check for yourself,, next time yall boot up,, type iptables -L | 01:32 |
| phenom | Before you start firestarter, | 01:32 |

| lmosher | It's there a bittorrent client that has nice features like Azureus, but sucks less? I'm trying to get gutsy, but qtorrent just isn't doing it for me. | 01:32 |

| phenom | And Slackware, | 01:33 |
| Pelo | PMantis, are you sure the label on the back doesn't list H and V ? | 01:33 |
| phenom | I think, that is Firestarters normal intention, but I fear it should be more well documented, as people are mislead to believe their iptables rules are set at boot. | 01:34 |
| Pelo | PMantis, got a cd with it ? | 01:34 |
| kbrooks | phenom, and i bet u r right. | 01:34 |
| phenom | I've just come to think of it as something that needs to be done when you install FireStarter. | 01:35 |
| PMantis | Pelo: There is no label at all, but I found a "User manual" on CD.. says that 1680x1050 is 65.29 KHz x 59.954 Hz vertical | 01:35 |

| lmosher | Pelo, infinitycircuit thanks, I'll check those out | 01:36 |
| PriceChild | !envy | domor | 01:36 |
| ubotu | domor: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 01:36 |
| Pelo | domor, envy is not 100% reliable anyway better learn to do it the manual way | 01:37 |
| PriceChild | why am I opped again | 01:37 |
| xevil | domor: why not just d/l the driver straight from nvidia and install? | 01:37 |
| distatica | Hey folks. I just did a fresh install of feisty on my machine. I have a Geforce3 ti200 video card. My resolution is completely stuck at 800x600. I have followed all the instructions at the ubuntu article FixVideoResolutionHowto (given by ubotu), and I have tried nvidia-settings. I have manually entered my Sync ranges from my monitor manual. nvidia drivers installed with restricted drivers manager | 01:38 |
| kbrooks | PriceChild, why, definitely! :-) | 01:38 |
| distatica | Any other thoughts? My xorg.conf can be found here: http://pastebin.ca/795376 | 01:38 |
| poeloq | I love the new 7.10 - thanks everybody for the help so far. More to come soon :) | 01:38 |
| PMantis | Pelo: Damnit, I keep restarting GDM with changes to no avail | 01:38 |
| domor | xevil: im jsut doign hwat theuy did on the forum | 01:39 |
| Pelo | PMantis, trry looking up the monitor model in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport or in the forum see if there is any advice | 01:39 |
| distatica | The only difference between that xorg.conf and my current one is that I have added Option "UseEdidFreqs" "false" | 01:39 |
| infinitycircuit | distatica: i believe that card is old enough to require the legacy drivers, are you sure you used it? | 01:39 |
| PMantis | Pelo: Ahh, will do | 01:39 |
| === Eisbar is now known as Maniac | ||
| Pelo | PMantis, is your video card a intel 915 ? | 01:39 |
| distatica | infinitycircuit: I know the windows drivers are the legacy drivers. However I just enabled the one's in Restricted Drivers Manager, as one howto seemed to suggest that was the recommended route. | 01:40 |
| === Maniac is now known as Eisbar | ||
| Pelo | PMantis, actualy, pastebin your xorg.conf file so I can have a look , just in case there is a typo | 01:40 |
| distatica | I just tried it on Gusty before going back to Feisty, and it well. | 01:40 |
| infinitycircuit | distatica: well that shouldn't be a problem then if you used the restricted driver manager | 01:40 |
| RequinB4 | w00t! I finally got my sound to work with this infernal sound card after 2 months of work! *opens wine for all* | 01:40 |
| lmosher | Can someone name a program to copy CDs, or in general burn CDs? | 01:41 |
| distatica | Yeah, and hardware information shows that it's a ti200 | 01:41 |
| Pelo | lmosher, gnomebaker | 01:41 |
| distatica | everything seems to detect it properly.. | 01:41 |
| infinitycircuit | lmosher: k3b is excellent | 01:41 |
| * Pelo is recommending gnomebaker a lot today | 01:41 | |
| lmosher | Pelo, I think that's what I was looking for. Kept calling it gnomebeaker for some reason so I couldn't find it! Thanks | 01:41 |
| osmosis | can anyone tell me how to disable the udev feature that renames my eth devices when the mac changes? | 01:41 |
| uber | I can't find any usb devices I can buy in stores. I've been checking using linuxwireless.org but I haven't had any results. | 01:41 |
| Pelo | lmosher, I suggest you familiarize yourself with add/remove under menu > applications, all the apps readily available trhough the repos are listed there | 01:42 |
| infinitycircuit | uber: what are you looking for | 01:42 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | lmosher, just because of that, Im going to link gnomebaker to gnomebeaker. That's the coolest mispelling ever. | 01:42 |
| Pelo | uber, any local comp store can probably order it for you | 01:42 |
| lmosher | Pelo, I probably should. I'm just used to using apt-cache search.... | 01:42 |
| uber | Ok. | 01:42 |
| uber | Well Ubuntu-compatible? | 01:43 |
| lmosher | Pelo, I just forget what I'm searching for, and the descriptions are sometimes lacking :( | 01:43 |
| * Pelo apologised to lmosher he thought he was a noob | 01:43 | |
| Kibble_ | any1 know why I can't watch mpgs? is this a known issue? I have just installed ubuntu 7.1 and have tried mplayer and totem | 01:43 |
| uber | something so that I can get wireless b/g | 01:43 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Kibble_, I think there's an extra library oyu need to install, probably libmpg123 | 01:43 |
| phaedra | uber, Belkin F5D7050 will work... Linksys WUSB54G too... | 01:43 |
| infinitycircuit | uber: i just saw one at a best buy near me | 01:43 |
| Kibble_ | tnx | 01:44 |

| ridge-meister | how can i get Python to show me all the methods in "random"? | 01:44 |
| Pelo | uber, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport or just to a general searchf or usb modem in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org , ppl wll probaby be bragging about the ones that work | 01:44 |
| lmosher | lol pelo, no prob man. I really should use synaptic if I don't know what I"m looking for. or google, but ya'll are just so much friendlier. | 01:44 |
| phiqtion | what's the best newsreader for giganews on ubuntu? | 01:44 |
| John64 | omgzzz warez :P | 01:44 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | uber, from personal experience, if you can avoid the Broadcom chipsets, that might help. I have a broadcom chipset in my laptop, and it works, but its difficult to get going | 01:45 |
| Pelo | lmosher, I just thought that add/remove would make things easier for you , you seemed to be asking about several | 01:45 |
| uber | kk | 01:45 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I hear that intel wireless chipsets seem to work the best so far | 01:45 |
| John64 | my buddy ended up using ndiswrapper, the native driver was flaky at best | 01:45 |
| John64 | my Cisco works 100000% | 01:45 |
| phiqtion | what's the best newsreader for giganews on ubuntu? | 01:45 |
| John64 | Cisco MPI350 | 01:45 |
| Kibble_ | my synaptic won't find either of those, fawnpug/georgy | 01:46 |
| lmosher | Pelo, Yeah you're totaly right. I should check out those programs to get used to what's available. | 01:46 |
| phaedra | phiqtion, I use Pan. | 01:46 |
| John64 | hard to get though, it prettymuch only comes from used IBM T40;s | 01:46 |
| * Pelo is in a mood for candy | 01:46 | |
| phaedra | phiqtion, Agent will also work using wine. | 01:46 |
| julio3patas | John64: klibido | 01:46 |
| domor | to remove all "nvidia" driver packages from my computer i searched nvidia in synaptic package manager should i remove "nvidia kernel" | 01:46 |
| Clearze1 | !java | 01:46 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | John64, the reason I settled with this wireless chipset was because I was going for cheap at the time (being a college student) | 01:46 |
| ubotu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre | 01:46 |
| phiqtion | phaedra: how about grabit | 01:46 |
| lmosher | thanks all, later | 01:47 |
| phaedra | phiqtion, I've never used that... | 01:47 |
| * Pelo thinks pan is descent enough, but is isp's news server isn't | 01:47 | |
| domor | to remove all "nvidia" driver packages from my computer i searched nvidia in synaptic package manager should i remove "nvidia kernel" | 01:47 |
| Pelo | domor, no | 01:47 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | domor, well the nvidia kernel drivers should be included in te nvidia package you used | 01:47 |
| julio3patas | phiqtion: klibido | 01:47 |
| domor | what will happen if i uninstall nvidia kernels | 01:47 |
| sin2gen2 | any ACPI gurus on here today? | 01:48 |
| phaedra | phiqtion, If you can set it to use the giganews ports/servers it'll work. | 01:48 |
| Pelo | domor, not if that is the one you are running atm, make sure you have other kernels installed, I think , I'm not all that familair with the nividia kernel but I would be very carefull before i removed it | 01:48 |
| domor | pelo: what does complete removel do | 01:48 |
| Pelo | domor, also removes any leftover config files | 01:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | domor: well what does it say its going to do?...lol | 01:48 |

| sFEARs | from a prompt "sudo cp /home/user_name/Desktop/file.ext /home/user_name/foldername/file.name" | 03:07 |

| Dr_willis | nvictor, you may want to install 'mc' and learn to use mc. its a darn handy tool for text only tasks. | 03:07 |
| sFEARs | use the mv command instead | 03:08 |
| Pelo | spr0k3t, best of luck with that , domor keep at it you'll get it eventualy, G'NIGHT FOLKS for real this time | 03:08 |

| tatterdemalian | poningru: Not yet... I'll have to wait till it blows up my interface before I try it, probably | 03:08 |
| sFEARs | it's good to copy first and then delete the original folder | 03:08 |
| nvictor | ok | 03:08 |
| nvictor | thanks | 03:08 |
| xen_caapn | when I add applets to my xfce panel, they don't show up. anyone know what the probem is?? | 03:08 |
| sFEARs | espically if you don't know how to move folders yet | 03:08 |
| nvictor | :) | 03:08 |
| poningru | tatterdemalian: also edit /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf | 03:08 |
| sFEARs | do you have the panel resized big enough to display the new applet? | 03:08 |
| poningru | to make it stop ipv4 and ipv6 | 03:08 |
| poningru | or just ipv6 and no ipv4 | 03:08 |
| fairyeneried | ok, then i'll check AWN :) | 03:09 |
| xen_caapn | sFEARs, yes | 03:09 |
| sFEARs | you can alst alt+f2 "sudo konqueror" and then just copy and paste the folders | 03:09 |
| sFEARs | brb | 03:09 |
| poningru | tatterdemalian: search for use-ipv4=yes and use-ipv6=no | 03:09 |
| poningru | those should be the defaults | 03:09 |
| tatterdemalian | poningru: Have it opened now, should I change it? | 03:10 |
| poningru | tatterdemalian: yeah go for it | 03:10 |
| RequinB4 | Hey all - I fixed my sound today by adding acpi=false to my grub boot menu, but now i no longer have a battery management icon - is there a way around this? | 03:11 |
| spr0k3t | hmm... now how do I get this mount point to show up as a drive instead of a folder? | 03:11 |
| * N3bunel away | 03:11 | |
| tatterdemalian | Problem is, without avahi, Ubuntu apparently has no native ipv4 support at all... | 03:11 |
| sFEARs | linux doesn't really have drives | 03:11 |
| sFEARs | they're all mount points | 03:12 |
| xen_caapn | sFEARs do you know what the problem is with my xfce panel? | 03:12 |
| robdig | RequinB4: not sure, but try right clicking on top panel, click add to panel, then find the battery monitor icon and click it | 03:12 |
| sFEARs | nope... that was just an idea.. i've never used xfce | 03:12 |
| poningru | tatterdemalian: see that is soo weird | 03:12 |
| xen_caapn | ok, thanks anyway | 03:12 |
| poningru | tatterdemalian: cause i have avahi turned off right now | 03:12 |
| poningru | that sounds like a bug to me | 03:13 |
| spr0k3t | sFEARs: yeah I know... so how do I get the mount point listed in the "places" like the /dev/scd0 /dev/sda1/ etc? | 03:13 |
| brianski | is there a gui for erasing DVD/CD+-RW's in ubuntu? | 03:13 |

| poningru | or what he said | 03:14 |
| ComPro | I have a dual monitor setup with the restricted fglrx driver installed. I ran through aticonfig and I have it set up with an extended desktop, not really big desktop, as I like to be able to maximize windows to single monitors, not the whole display. | 03:14 |
| ComPro | I'm trying to get Compiz working, so in doing so, I installed xserver-xgl. It enabled me to use Compiz, which looks fantastic, but ended up turning my extended desktop into one giant display, with programs dead center between the two screens and maximizing across both. If I remove xserver-xgl, it works perfectly fine again, but without the Compiz effects. | 03:14 |
| ComPro | I cannot upgrade to the ATI proprietary 8.42 driver, as it causes my display to get all multicolored and garbled, and it locks up the machine. I must stay on 8.37. Is there any way to get xserver-xgl working, or some alternative, as to where I can keep my extended desktop mode? | 03:14 |
| robdig | RequinB4: sorry I can't be of assistance to you | 03:14 |
| Shoiab | hi | 03:14 |
| spr0k3t | sFEARs: been there... it mounts now, but it only shows up in the /mnt/ point I've assigned... | 03:15 |
| sFEARs | yeah.. change the mount point to whatever you want | 03:15 |
| brianski | poningru: hmm gnomebaker looks like what i was looking for. wonder why it isn't installed per default? | 03:15 |
| Shoiab | is it possible browsing behind ISA server for ubuntu user? | 03:15 |
| poningru | brianski: I've yelled about that too... | 03:15 |
| JmA___ | Renquin .. Ive changed my ubuntu 7.10 to 7.04 and a lot of things that didn´t worked like power management, wireless with bcm43xx is working now.. | 03:15 |
| Shoiab | if yes then hoe??? | 03:15 |
| sFEARs | it will never show up as a drive like they do in windows.. because linux doesn't use drives | 03:15 |
| brianski | heh, ok | 03:15 |
| Shoiab | how? | 03:15 |
| RequinB4 | robdig - np, i expect i'll have to manually do some crazy stuff problem is i dont have the expertise to do it by myself | 03:15 |
| JmA___ | you can try downgrade | 03:16 |

| spr0k3t | sFEARs: yeah I know that... but what would I change the mount point to so I can see the mount like the other drives I have (/dev/sda1) | 03:16 |
| sFEARs | ohhh i see what you mean | 03:16 |
| sFEARs | good question.. hold on | 03:16 |
| RequinB4 | JmA___ : no the system works with default, but sound doesn't, I edit grub menu to fix sound and power management goes away | 03:16 |

I keep trying to install pine on gutsy but I keep running into a problem where I can't install the libssl0.9.7 which it requires since I already have libssl0.9.8 installed. Pine needs the older. However, I was able to install alpine via apt-get. Is this the same? | 03:24 |

| sFEARs | no prob.. sorry i couldn't help | 03:26 |
| jorgerosa2 | Hello all | 03:26 |
| sFEARs | i think you might using the term "mount point" wrong | 03:26 |
| spr0k3t | 8^) you did help... that's all I can ask. | 03:26 |
| Clapper | I haven't used alpine, but I think it was intended to be somewhat of a clone of Pine... might want to google their web page. | 03:26 |
| raichlea | clapper: I have libssl0.9.8 installed which should be enough since it's a newer version of hthe required libraray | 03:26 |

| raichlea | clapper: when I try to install libssl0.9.7 it says a newer version is installed or can't find it | 03:28 |
| Clapper | maybe you can try compiling from source... or, remove the newer libssl, and let it install the slightly older version | 03:29 |
| Clapper | just a thought | 03:29 |
| techqbert | sFEARs: thanks | 03:29 |

| stoneman | Hi there, im having trouble with the login screen resolution, the Desktop resolution is fine, but where i have to type in my user name and pass, that screen is badly out of reso and quite hard to read, anyone know of a possible solution? | 03:41 |
| rav3 | ubuntu rocks...:) | 03:41 |
| lastelement0 | sFEARs ahhhh thanks | 03:42 |
| sFEARs | your welcome | 03:42 |
| NoRox | thanks buttercups | 03:42 |
| Shadix | what is the command to open a window on my GUI? | 03:42 |
| tarelerulz | Wine works on run windows exe right ? I installed it and I was trying to use it to install Utorrent and it says it don't have a suitable program for the job. Any one know why that might be and if know one know what is a good bit torrent client ? | 03:42 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: err, makes no sense. avahi is a convenience, not a necessity | 03:43 |
| Shadix | ie sudo * /usr/share/firefox/chrome/icons/default | 03:43 |
| stoneman | tarelerulz the latest Azureus client works great! | 03:43 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: did you try just removing the package? | 03:43 |
| Rainpoint | Hello, my sound used to work. But now it doesn't. I've seen !sound already. Nothing is muted in alsamixer. I'm using an NVidia card. \ | 03:43 |
| boyet | gudday guys need help for setting-up internet cafe server | 03:43 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: Yeah, apparently Gutsy can't handle ipv4 traffic without that convenience any more. | 03:43 |
| Ildjarn | tarelerulz: Deluge is very similar to utorrent. If you don't mind CLI based apps, use rtorrent. | 03:43 |
| sFEARs | stoneman, mabey "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" set the first option to vesa and choose low resolutions when it gets to the resolution options.. "warning: will proally chage your desktop resolution with your login resolution".. but that may set everything back to normal and you can keep retrying untill you get it all working | 03:43 |
| tarelerulz | I would use Azureus ,but it use udp and my router don't use udp and tcp at the same time plus there are so many configs it hurts | 03:44 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: Yep, had to restart in a terminal shell and reinstall it before Ubuntu would boot up any more | 03:44 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: that's definitely impossible, ipv4 is kernel-space, avahi is user-space | 03:44 |
| lastelement0 | how can i write to a folder as root? | 03:44 |
| stoneman | Rainpoint i have the same problem, but the thing is if i listen to a youtube clip, then i cant listen to mp3's, if i listen to a mp3 file, i cant listen to youtube(or other net flash | 03:44 |
| === kkubasik__ is now known as kkubasik | ||
| sFEARs | open the program that's writing to the folder with sudo | 03:44 |
| stoneman | sFEARs ah ok ty, ill try that | 03:44 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: you removed the package and ubuntu wouldn't boot? | 03:44 |
| Rainpoint | I can't listen to anything stoneman | 03:44 |
| sFEARs | <alt+f2> sudo nautalius | 03:44 |
| Rainpoint | Even system sounds | 03:44 |
| Rainpoint | It used to work though | 03:45 |
| sFEARs | that will give you read/write access to all folders | 03:45 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: The guys on #avahi said that too, that there was no possible way avahi could ever disable ipv4 protocols... but somehow it does | 03:45 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: what if you don't run avahi? | 03:45 |
| stoneman | sFEARs should i let the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg auto detect my hardware settings? | 03:45 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: Yep... and if I disable it, Ubuntu crashes so hard I can't even switch to a getty session | 03:45 |
| Rainpoint | Help anyone? | 03:45 |
| m0u5e | argh... i can't get my nvidia 8400M GS to output onto a tv through s-vga | 03:46 |
| sFEARs | you can always let it auto detect.. not a bad way to start.. unless you specifically know the settings i would stick with that | 03:46 |
| m0u5e | anyone have any ideas? | 03:46 |
| buttercups | !resolution | stoneman | 03:46 |

| buttercups | stoneman, section titled GDM uses a different Resolution than my Desktop, in that link | 03:46 |
| sFEARs | Rainpoint, you might not have the proper nvidia drivers installed | 03:46 |
| Shadix | how do i use the terminal to open a window on my desktop | 03:46 |
| Rainpoint | How do I determine so? | 03:46 |
| sFEARs | not sure.. i had some problems with installing nvidia drivers the other day.. havn't quite figured it out yet | 03:47 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: Either Ubuntu crashes, or I can't use the ipv4 protocol on any interfaces, only ipv6, which my router is incompatible with | 03:47 |
| stoneman | buttercups ah thank you, ill take a look | 03:47 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: what is the current state of things? is it a normal install? or is avahi in some backwards situation? | 03:47 |
| sFEARs | i apt-get gtk-nvidia or something.. didn't work well at all | 03:47 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: blacklist the ipv6 module anyway, you pretty much don't need it | 03:47 |
| m0u5e | anyone else in here running a nvidia 8400M GS? | 03:47 |
| Rainpoint | Hm, the sound used to work though. | 03:47 |
| sFEARs | mabey download & compile drivers from source off the nvidia site if you know how to do such | 03:47 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: Normal install, but with the nvidia restricted driver, and ndiswrapper running bcmwl15 | 03:47 |
| sFEARs | nope.. using geforce 440 | 03:48 |
| tatterdemalian | err, bcmwl5 | 03:48 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: and you restored your normal avahi config | 03:48 |
| tarelerulz | I think most of it is the site I get torrent from I have used deluge ,ktorrent , Azureus , rtorrent , bittornado and Utorrent is the only one that seems to work that well . I mean you seem to need a dregree in bit torrent to get them working right on some sites | 03:48 |
| sFEARs | does nvidia even have source drivers?.. i'm not sure, you might also wanna try that ndiswrapper nvidia driver thing | 03:48 |
| Ildjarn | tarelerulz: I've had no such problems. | 03:48 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: and you say if you do sudo apt-get remove avahi-autoipd and reboot, it won't boot? | 03:48 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: Well, I kept notes on any changes I made, and reversed them when they didn't work. Unless the changes I made caused the system to make changes somewhere else I don't know about, that should have reversed it | 03:49 |
| dahitokiri | so i need some help with a realtek wireless card for my laptop | 03:49 |
| xexos | I have a dual core processor, but I have heard bad things about x64, what should I do? | 03:49 |
| sFEARs | is there a boot to last known good configureation?? | 03:49 |
| poeloq | btw, everybody should try devilspie!!! | 03:49 |
| boyet | is ubuntu good for internet cafe server | 03:49 |
| dahitokiri | i can't seem to find the drivers to make it work | 03:49 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: Not to anything but straight bash. | 03:49 |
| robdig | !audio | rainmain | 03:49 |
| ubotu | rainmain: 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 | 03:49 |
| dahitokiri | any help would be very much appreciated | 03:49 |
| tech0007 | xexos: you can still use 32-bit ubuntu | 03:49 |
| tarelerulz | I do love bit torrent In fact it is the way I got Ubuntu 7.10 iso I install on this computer and I am useing it as we speak | 03:50 |
| sFEARs | dahitokiri, ndiswrapper isn't very complicated.. then you can just use windows drivers | 03:50 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: well, do that, and get to straight bash, and then we can work from there, eh | 03:50 |
| Aiyizo | dahitokiri: try to install the drivers from the manufacturer's site, then use ndiswrapper to install them | 03:50 |
| m0u5e | anyone can help me getting my nvidia 8400M GS working on an external display? | 03:50 |
| xexos | tech0007: what would you recommend | 03:50 |
| dahitokiri | sFEARs, that's part of the problem. i can't find the windows version of the drivers | 03:50 |
| Ildjarn | m0u5e: Did you try nvidia-settings? | 03:50 |
| tatterdemalian | I guess I'm going to have to sit under my desk to hook up my wired connection, then | 03:51 |
| sFEARs | have you tried the manufacturues web site like Aiyizo suggested | 03:51 |
| m0u5e | Ildjarn: ive tried everything | 03:51 |
| tarelerulz | I like ndiswrapper it is the only way I seem to get any wireless action at all. The Ubuntu restricted driver don't work at all | 03:51 |
| dahitokiri | sFEARs, Aiyizo all the spec details say about my wireless card is "Realtek 802.11b/g wireless LAN." | 03:51 |
| m0u5e | Ildjarn: i was hoping to find someone else who had the nvidia 8400M GS and see if they had the same problem | 03:51 |
| sFEARs | they must have some kind of drivers there.. if they don't have windows drivers they should have source drivers and that's even better | 03:51 |
| dahitokiri | so i have no idea which model there is | 03:51 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: can't you bring your wireless up by hand? | 03:51 |
| tech0007 | xexos: some apps dont have 64-bit compatibility in ubuntu yet, i use ubuntu gutsy w/ gnome and it works fine..you have a lot of choices to go with..like ubuntu or kubuntu w/ KDE | 03:51 |
| tatterdemalian | In case I can't get back, I also tried "sudo avahi-autoipd -k wlan0:avahi" after having the problem, and got the response: "Failed to kill daemon: No such file or directory" | 03:52 |
| Ildjarn | m0u5e: I have nVidia 8600M GT and I got it working by just enabling the display in nVidia settings. Didn't take even a minute :[ | 03:52 |
| rav3 | downthemall is a superb download manager...a must have download manger...it will increase definitely download speed | 03:52 |
| sFEARs | hold on | 03:52 |
| m0u5e | Ildjarn: it won't let me set the resolution correctly, it defaults to 640x480 | 03:52 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: Can't find any information how to do it. | 03:52 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: ifup? | 03:52 |
| Unwise | Hi all | 03:52 |
| m0u5e | Ildjarn: it also doesn't detect my gpu's ram correctly, it thinks i have 256mb when i only have 128 | 03:53 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: That doesn't work without avahi | 03:53 |
| Ildjarn | m0u5e: I have the same problem with the video RAM. I have 256 but it thinks I have 512. | 03:53 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: yes it does, that has nothing to do with avahi | 03:53 |
| HateX | I want to add the KDE enviornment to my computer, how do it do it now that i only have gnome? | 03:53 |
| m0u5e | Ildjarn: how did you get your secondary display working though? | 03:53 |
| graft | HateX: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 03:54 |
| tech0007 | HateX: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 03:54 |
| graft | HateX: but that'll change all your boot splashes and such | 03:54 |
| HateX | thank you very much guys | 03:54 |
| leachy94 | hi | 03:54 |
| sFEARs | i can't get to web pages right now.. i'm in the middle of some upgradaes.. some of those drivers are proally backwards compatible.. just choose one that best fits.. "ndiswrapper -i driver.inf" "modprobe ndiswrapper" and keep trying until it works | 03:54 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: I mean, the interface comes up, but the wireless card just can't make the hookup somehow, and anything sent to it never gets a response | 03:54 |
| m0u5e | Ildjarn: currently for me, it just says CMO 1280x800 and then CRT-O (disabled) | 03:54 |
| Ildjarn | m0u5e: It showed the 2nd monitor under X Server Display Configuration, in n-vidia settings. And I resized the 2nd display to the resolution I wanted. | 03:54 |
| m0u5e | Ildjarn: it doesn't let me resize... :X | 03:54 |
| Ildjarn | m0u5e: Right click on it and enable? | 03:54 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: does it get an IP? | 03:54 |
| sFEARs | have you tried "sudo ifconfig wlan1 up" | 03:54 |
| leachy94 | hey i was thinking about getting ubuntu | 03:55 |
| sFEARs | or eth0 or wlan2 or whatever the interface is | 03:55 |
| === genii_ is now known as genii | ||
| m0u5e | Ildjarn: there is no right click function?? | 03:55 |
| leachy94 | but do i need to install over my old OS | 03:55 |
| leachy94 | and can i go back? | 03:55 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: Nope, no access point either, even though an iwlist wlan0 scan finds my signal just fine | 03:55 |
| graft | sFEARs: that's exactly what ifup does | 03:55 |
| sFEARs | sorry.. didn't see that | 03:55 |
| Ildjarn | m0u5e: Hm, I can't remember correctly :/ I have disabled Twinview to get a higher refresh rate so I can't check it out right now | 03:55 |
| BBengs | general question about desktop vs. server | 03:55 |
| BBengs | what is the difference between the two | 03:56 |
| dahitokiri | sFEARs, no such device as wlan1 | 03:56 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: what does it do, just times out during discovery? | 03:56 |
| BBengs | other than one with a desktop gui and one without | 03:56 |
| tech0007 | leachy94: try the livecd first to know if ubuntu is right for you.. it will not delete your old OS and you can still always go back | 03:56 |
| sFEARs | well you have to switch it to whatever interface your using | 03:56 |
| m0u5e | ildjarn: are you using seperate X screen then? | 03:56 |
| tatterdemalian | graft: Yep | 03:56 |
| sFEARs | wlan1 eth0 it's specific to what your using | 03:56 |
| leachy94 | how do i get the livecd | 03:56 |
| HateX | what do you guys prefer Gnome or KDE? | 03:56 |
| robdig | leachy94: www.ubuntu.com | 03:56 |
| m0u5e | Hatex: its whichever you prefer | 03:56 |
| tatterdemalian | I think... I've tried a sudo dhclient, and it always times out | 03:57 |
| m0u5e | HateX: everyone has different tastes, it only matters which you like better | 03:57 |
| Ildjarn | m0u5e: I tried both, separate and single X and both worked fine. I'm using a laptop so a 2nd display isn't needed. But I had to check if it works or not. | 03:57 |
| leachy94 | i dont raly want to completely go to ubuntu cus theres a game that dont work on linux or anything like that only windows | 03:57 |
| BBengs | general question about desktop vs. server what is the difference between the two other than one with a desktop gui and one without | 03:57 |
| HateX | m0u5e, ok thanks | 03:57 |
| tech0007 | HateX: your ram might help you decide | 03:57 |
| sFEARs | i think they're currently developing ways to get directx to work on the next distro of ubuntu.. that should open up a lot of the windows games | 03:57 |
| sFEARs | i read it on the internet.. it must be tru | 03:57 |
| HateX | tech0007, which uses more? | 03:57 |
| robdig | leachy94: you can always set up a dual boot...let you choose windows or ubuntu when you boot up | 03:57 |
| Ildjarn | HateX: To me, KDE just looked ugly. Some people might think otherwise. | 03:58 |
| tech0007 | leachy94: ok, then livecd first, then try dual boot w/ both your Os and ubuntu | 03:58 |
| m0u5e | leachy94: if you primarily want to play games, i recommend installing ubuntu in a seperate partition | 03:58 |
| leachy94 | i done that by accident on my old pc | 03:58 |
| sFEARs | KDE uses more system resources on the eye candy.. but if you have a new computer it won't make a difference | 03:58 |
| leachy94 | had to versiojns of XP installed :S | 03:58 |
| leachy94 | kept asking wich one | 03:58 |
| HateX | ok cool | 03:58 |
| Ildjarn | HateX: Even though my system can handle it if I wanted ;) | 03:58 |
| tatterdemalian | Crap... does xchat work in bash? Haven't tried it yet | 03:58 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: irssi, dude | 03:59 |
| m0u5e | i rather like xubuntu... if only there were more development on it :( | 03:59 |
| Ildjarn | irssi > * :D | 03:59 |
| sFEARs | nope.. xchat is a gui.. bash is command line | 03:59 |
| sFEARs | bitchx would work in a bash shell | 03:59 |
| graft | irssi > bitchx! | 03:59 |
| m0u5e | Ildjarn: for some reason, it doesnt like to move beyond 640x480 | 03:59 |
| Unwise | HateX: There's an old argument here: KDE is infinitely tweakable, but has a learning curve - Gnome is easier to use. Linus prefers KDE. | 03:59 |
| leachy94 | is the normal cs the same as live cd? | 03:59 |
| tech0007 | anybody knows the irc channel for ubuntu bluetooth? | 03:59 |
| tatterdemalian | *sigh* Another IRC client to configure... | 03:59 |
| Shadix | so how can I drag and drop files to my root of o don | 03:59 |
| ubuntu | heloo | 03:59 |
| linux_ | i wanted to compile fluxbox ,but i couldnt,it said: missing: Unknown `--run' option ,what should i do | 03:59 |
| theidiotthatisme | Howdy! Is it possible to use a different file manager by default in Gnome? I like Gnome but I prefer Thunar | 03:59 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: no need to configure it, man, works fine out of the box | 03:59 |
| ubuntu | alguem do brasil ai? | 04:00 |
| Shadix | so how can I drag and drop files to my root if i don't have permissions? | 04:00 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: just do /server irc.freenode.net 8001 and you're connected | 04:00 |
| sFEARs | linux_ mabey you don't have the proper kernel headers installed try "sudo apt-get install linux-headers" | 04:00 |
| tatterdemalian | graftL Really? It even knows my nickserv password straight up? | 04:00 |
| graft | tatterdemalian: beh, now you're just being lazy... | 04:00 |
| leachy94 | to get the live cd do i just download ubuntu 7.10? | 04:00 |
| tatterdemalian | Yeah, that's what I thought. | 04:00 |
| theidiotthatisme | leachy94: Yes | 04:00 |
| leachy94 | ok doing so know lol | 04:00 |
| leachy94 | and will that work as live cd | 04:01 |
| leachy94 | without full swap over | 04:01 |
| theidiotthatisme | leachy94: It acts as both a LiveCD and install | 04:01 |
| Ildjarn | m0u5e: Don't know about that, sorry. Might work if you configure xorg.conf manually | 04:01 |
| theidiotthatisme | leachy94: Yepperoo | 04:01 |
| linux_ | try | 04:01 |
| leachy94 | so wen i launch it asks me wich one | 04:01 |
| leachy94 | install or live | 04:01 |
| leachy94 | ill try live | 04:01 |
| m0u5e | Ildjarn: i reconfigured, but i have no idea how to configure it with the proprietary nvidia drivers without messing it up | 04:01 |
| leachy94 | then if i like it il lset up a duel boot | 04:01 |
| leachy94 | if only i knew how? | 04:01 |
| sFEARs | does anyone know anything about back|track 2 | 04:01 |
| Ildjarn | leachy94: Go into Live to use it. If you want to install it, there's an install icon on the desktop. | 04:01 |
| Shadix | so how can I drag and drop files to my root if i don't have permissions? | 04:02 |
| buttercups | Shadix, If you need to drag and drop, gksudo nautilus | 04:02 |
| leachy94 | ok | 04:02 |
| leachy94 | how do i setup duel boot | 04:02 |
| Ildjarn | m0u5e: Me neither, and I'm great at messing up everything :p | 04:02 |
| rav3 | can any one tell me how do i make live cd ?i have downloaded .iso image..how do i proceed..which burner i have to go for?? | 04:02 |
| sFEARs | Shadix <alt+f2> sudo nautalis.. that sould hopen nautalius with root permissions | 04:02 |
| leachy94 | i say nero to burn | 04:02 |
| linux_ | there is 8 headers,which should i choose | 04:02 |
| sFEARs | i might be spelling nautalius wrong... but you get the idea | 04:02 |

| sFEARs | linux_ "sudo uname -r" | 04:03 |
| Ildjarn | rav3: nero.com has Nero Linux | 04:03 |
| sFEARs | that will give you your current kernel version.. those are the headers you need | 04:03 |
| leachy94 | no use nero to burn the iso to disk | 04:03 |
| sFEARs | *sorry about using the enter key as punctuation* | 04:03 |

| sFEARs | amarok will play mp3s.. i'm sure there's a better one, i'm just not sure what it is yet | 04:06 |
| Shadix | si y "Dos grande cervesas por favor" | 04:06 |
| tech0007 | timi;; mplayer | 04:06 |
| CoasterMaster | Timi, I use Rhythmbox, and you can install mp3 support | 04:06 |
| dissection | timi: I use Exaile. | 04:06 |
| timi | oh god >_> | 04:06 |
| m0u5e | timi: i use listen | 04:06 |
| tech0007 | timi; mplayer plays everything | 04:06 |
| sFEARs | if i was stuck in mexico.. i wouldn't drink beer.. there's water in there | 04:06 |
| poningru | ... | 04:06 |
| poningru | dude mexican beer is awesome | 04:07 |
| m0u5e | timi: mplayer is for primarily movies, if you want a good jukebox player, try exaile, amarok, listen, and banshee, (and songbird) | 04:07 |
| sFEARs | but there's mexican water in there | 04:07 |
| Sankyo | Corona | 04:07 |
| timi | Okay. | 04:07 |
| linux_ | it dosent help, i have installed e "build-essential" | 04:07 |
| tatterdemalian | poningru: Nope. Apparently avahi just ignores /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf completely, because immediately after I rebooted, it shut down my ipv4 protocol again | 04:07 |
| m0u5e | timi: i've tried all of them... my personaly favorite for now is listen (although songbird is VERY PROMISING) | 04:07 |
| Unwise | the alcohol takes care of the water... | 04:07 |
| pacman | getting this message on totem: The playback of this movie requires a Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) demuxer plugin which is not installed. | 04:07 |
| Shadix | !offtopic | 04:07 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 04:07 |
| poningru | tatterdemalian: what about the -k switch? | 04:07 |
| Shadix | lol | 04:07 |
| sFEARs | yeah.. and she's on birth control | 04:07 |
| timi | I'm kinda in for minimalist features when I look for a jukebox player... | 04:08 |
| tatterdemalian | poningru: It responded, "Failed to kill daemon: No such file or directory" | 04:08 |
| m0u5e | timi: you might want to try rhythmbox then | 04:08 |
| timi | Okay, will check it out | 04:08 |
| timi | thanks | 04:08 |
| m0u5e | timi: or banshee | 04:08 |
| sFEARs | i think the librarian is telling us we're talking too loud | 04:08 |
| tech0007 | :-D | 04:08 |
| sFEARs | "YOU DON'T KNOW THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM!!!!" | 04:08 |
| m0u5e | pacman: you need to install some gstreamer codecs :D | 04:08 |
| Sankyo | LOL | 04:09 |
| timi | Okay: which is better at handling large ammounts of music? | 04:09 |
| poningru | tatterdemalian: oh well try other interface names | 04:09 |
| poningru | i.e wlan0 etc. | 04:09 |
| timi | Winamp was god forsaken slow with 15000 songs in it's library, I dont want a repeat of that. | 04:09 |
| m0u5e | sudo apt-get install xorg-nvidia-w/-3dsupport-plz | 04:09 |
| Shadix | sFEARs, oye why would you need to know where someones pants are..... | 04:09 |
| m0u5e | darnit | 04:09 |
| dissection | timi: I had no problem with 55GB of MP3s | 04:09 |
| m0u5e | timi: they all do fine at handling large amounts of music... | 04:09 |
| timi | I have 85gb of mp3s | 04:09 |
| sFEARs | i'd need to know where my pants are.. then i'd have some money to go to the bar and buy tequilla | 04:10 |
| pacman | any one you would suggest? I don't remember what I had to do the last time I installed Totem | 04:10 |
| tatterdemalian | It almost seems like the problem isn't that avahi is doing anything wrong, but that the problem is that it keeps shutting down, and is so completely vital to the Ubuntu distro that without it, the ipv4 protocol just can't be used | 04:10 |
| m0u5e | timi: hmm listen, banshee, and rhythm all seem pretty fast | 04:10 |
| timi | Okies, thanks. | 04:10 |
| m0u5e | timi: if you're on ubuntu, i'd recommend not using amarok simply because it isnt native | 04:10 |
| m0u5e | timi: but if you're on kde, then use amarok :X | 04:10 |
| timi | Ubuntu | 04:10 |
| poningru | tatterdemalian: but see that makes no sense | 04:10 |
| poningru | cause I have avahi turned off | 04:11 |
| poningru | its likely something else | 04:11 |
| m0u5e | pacman: give me a second | 04:11 |
| pacman | k, thanks, m0u5e | 04:11 |
| tatterdemalian | poningru: I know... everybody says it's just an optional convenience... but for some reason Ubuntu on my machine won't work without it | 04:11 |
| dissection | !avahi | 04:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about avahi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:12 |
| m0u5e | pacman: you know what... if you plan on playing other ms formats, i'd just go ahead and install ubuntu restricted extras | 04:12 |
| Sisco | we should all have dual quad core penryns with 16gb ram for desktops | 04:12 |
| Sisco | right? | 04:12 |
| m0u5e | pacman: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:12 |
| Sisco | then shit would get done so much faster | 04:12 |
| cronik | sup guys | 04:12 |
| pacman | is that going to mess up my KDE? | 04:12 |
| Shadix | sFEARs, "Donde estan mis pantalones" Is where's my pants "Donde es los pantalones" means where's your pants LMAO | 04:12 |
| m0u5e | pacman: it shouldn't | 04:12 |
| Unwise | cya | 04:13 |
| tatterdemalian | It either crashes, creates some weird interface alias that can't be used and renders my regular interface unable to process ipv4 packets, or just ends all ipv4 traffic on all interfaces, even the loopback | 04:13 |
| pacman | okay, downloading now | 04:13 |
| buttercups | pacman, search gstreamer in add/remove, theres a demuxing plug in | 04:13 |
| madera_ | Hello, why doesn't Ubuntu boot on older machines? | 04:13 |
| tech0007 | tatterdemalian: just a thought, why not boot to a livecd and check your configs frm there? | 04:14 |
| timi | how good is the Synaptic Package Manager for finding drivers? | 04:14 |
| m0u5e | timi: most drivers should have been autodetected upon install, but ... it should have whatever you're looking for | 04:14 |

| cronik | i try reinstalling ubuntu but nothing worked | 04:34 |
| bruenig | linux88, yes, it is basically a proprietary version of wine made specifically to be compatible with games | 04:34 |
| linux88 | oh i see | 04:35 |
| phaedra | cronik, Yes, but do you get any error messages? | 04:35 |
| cronik | now | 04:35 |

| PuZo | how do i forward ports? | 04:36 |
| cronik | having so many problems with my ubuntu box | 04:36 |
| sFEARs | PuZo.. open a web browser and go to 192.168.1.1 | 04:36 |
| phaedra | cronik, You can tailor your boot params to avoid the kernel panic if you know the errors.... | 04:36 |
| krammer | do you know how to configure ADSL modems in linux | 04:36 |
| cronik | huh? | 04:37 |
| cronik | to geeke for me | 04:37 |
| sproingie | are there packages available for the full java jdk 1.6? | 04:37 |
| PuZo | thsi is on ubuntu server | 04:37 |
| sproingie | i saw something for the jre, need the whole jdk | 04:37 |
| kanuha | How can I add a folder or dirve under "Places" ? | 04:37 |
| PuZo | and there is no firewall | 04:37 |
| sFEARs | then you need not port forware | 04:37 |
| sFEARs | forward* | 04:37 |
| m0u5e | plamo: and i'm guessing --purging the installation and reinstalling the driver doesn't work? | 04:37 |
| sFEARs | that's what port forwarding is for.. so things can make it thru the firewall | 04:37 |
| tussey | any issues with ubuntu and the latest SMB updates via the update manager? | 04:38 |
| cronik | !purging | 04:38 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about purging - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:38 |
| tussey | I'm getting a 404 error | 04:38 |

| cronik | phaedra | 04:38 |
| linux88 | hey m05e | 04:38 |
| cronik | how can i do that | 04:38 |
| cronik | ? | 04:38 |
| timi | m0u5e, unless its that thing where you do all the modprobes, I tried that and it basically gave me an error on the last one. | 04:39 |
| sFEARs | how do i figure out what dvd rom drive i have so i can try to find drivers for it?.. i tried lspci but nothing was listed.. i'm guessing because it's not on the PCI bus? | 04:39 |
| bruenig | kanuha, don't think you can | 04:39 |
| krammer | anybody you know how to configure ADSL modems in linux----I have REPOTEC ADSL USB modem (RP-MO56) | 04:39 |

| bthornton | Has anyone had luck using PATA --> SATA converters on their CD/DVD drives? I'm using one now and the drive is recognized by the BIOS and I can even boot from it, but Linux does not see the drive. Even LiveCDs fail beyond loading the kernel (i.e. when it comes time to mount the drive, it cannot be found). | 04:46 |
| cronik | but i caant log in to my sytem at all | 04:46 |
| oficina | no, but i will now, thanks for the tip. | 04:46 |

| oficina | m0u5e: it says it needs an at least 6 character long password | 04:48 |
| timi | m0u5e, SFEARs sudo modprobe ipw3945 does nothing. | 04:49 |
| JJtech | guys, it said in konsole "invalid" | 04:49 |
| rav2 | i have doubt..why linux doen't have viruses..??? | 04:49 |
| erat123 | is there a remote assistance app for ubuntu like there is in windows? | 04:49 |
| linux88 | m0u5e ok it crashed whiel i tried running it in terminal but didnt boot me so ill give u a link | 04:49 |
| sFEARs | you lost me timi | 04:49 |
| m0u5e | timi: did you do all of them with sudo? (the mod probe list) | 04:49 |
| linux88 | !pastebin | 04:49 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 04:49 |
| buttercups | JJtech, sudo apt-get install ccsm is invalid, scroll up to my post | 04:49 |
| sFEARs | what is ipw3945? | 04:49 |
| cronik | mmm | 04:49 |
| m0u5e | linux88: awesome :) | 04:49 |
| cronik | no but you can use vnc | 04:49 |
| sFEARs | ohh yeah.. my bad | 04:49 |
| timi | sFEARs: what m0u5e told be to put in | 04:49 |
| sproingie | rav2: linux has too many different distributions for viruses to spread well. there are some for redhat, and there probably will be some for ubuntu | 04:49 |
| sproingie | especially if ubuntu doesn't start using selinux | 04:50 |
| timi | and, I put in "sudo modprobe ipw3945", nothing else. | 04:50 |
| linux88 | m0u5e http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45662/ | 04:50 |
| timi | which returned nothing. | 04:50 |
| bthornton | krammer: yes, the BIOS knew to boot from the drive | 04:50 |
| JJtech | <Butter> i just got log-in.. can't see ur post.. what to command in console to get ccsm??? | 04:50 |
| m0u5e | sFEARs: he's trying to get his intel 3945pro wifi working | 04:50 |
| cronik | selinux is not a good ideal at this point | 04:50 |
| cronik | maybe later on | 04:50 |
| sFEARs | i just saw some errors on pastebin.. looed like might not have root access | 04:50 |
| buttercups | JJtech, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 04:50 |
| sFEARs | i wasn't sure what you were trying to do | 04:50 |
| cronik | SElinux have to many issues | 04:50 |
| cronik | lol | 04:50 |
| sproingie | selinux works fine, it's just not granular enough | 04:50 |
| sFEARs | ohh yeah | 04:50 |
| tech0007 | help! what iptable command do i need to use to block bittorent from a client on the LAN? thanks | 04:50 |
| timi | ah. | 04:51 |
| timi | I'm pretty sure I have root. | 04:51 |
| sFEARs | using ndiswrapper | 04:51 |
| sFEARs | becuase you have to modprobe ndiswrapper | 04:51 |
| m0u5e | timi: did you try it again with sudo ahead of modprobe? | 04:51 |
| lightentity | hello, can someone help, i could connect to my wirless network on my laptop by typing dhclient in terminal but after a while it loses connection any help please | 04:51 |
| sproingie | something more like apparmor would be better | 04:51 |
| timi | m0u5e: Yes. | 04:51 |
| m0u5e | sFEARs: 3945 shouldn't require ndiswrapper | 04:51 |
| cronik | yea | 04:51 |
| rav2 | how do i share my windows drives to my LAN users on ubuntu?? | 04:51 |
| tony_j | I had my friend upgrade fiesty fawn to gutsy gibbon, not sure, but I think that's screwing my system up. | 04:52 |
| cronik | most of the chips that are broadcom | 04:52 |
| sFEARs | "ndiswrapper -i driver.inf" then sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and your wireless hardware should turn on.. then you have to find an access point to connect to | 04:52 |
| cronik | that need that* | 04:52 |
| plamo | m0u5e; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45663/ | 04:52 |
| shadeofgrey | can anybody here tell me if 7.10 can handle Nvidia 8800 ultra cards in sli? | 04:52 |
| JJtech | thanks to <buttercups> installing ccsm now... ^_^ | 04:52 |
| krammer | use lynx to connect to the internet through the terminal | 04:52 |
| sFEARs | driver.inf=windows driver downloaded from manufacturer website | 04:52 |
| sproingie | but right now it still stands that a bug in any app combined with any local exploit can mean a pwnz3d box. which is kind of wrong | 04:52 |
| m0u5e | plamo: i meant the other modprobes on the list, did you try those with sudo too? | 04:53 |
| robdig | !samba | rav2 | 04:53 |
| ubotu | rav2: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 04:53 |
| sFEARs | shadeofgrey, 7.10 after install should open a restricted drivers download manager to install the proper nvidia driver | 04:53 |
| lightentity | could someone help i installed the drivers it works fine but i can only connect by typing dhclient in terminal | 04:53 |
| buttercups | JJtech, use tab to auto-complete nicks, triggers highlighting so I can see when your typing to me =) | 04:53 |
| sFEARs | it won't work out of the box.. but should be able to work | 04:53 |
| lightentity | but when i use the network icon to onnect on the upper right it never connects to the net | 04:53 |
| RAVTUX | I need help starting X | 04:53 |
| plamo | sfears: Error: no ndiswrapper utils found! | 04:53 |
| RAVTUX | can anybody troubleshoot on how to startx | 04:53 |
| arashbi | hello | 04:53 |
| cronik | well guys,have a good night,i will keep on trying to solve this issue,i will make sure to make tutorial once i am done with this problem | 04:54 |
| meeper | hmm | 04:54 |
| timi | m0u5e: yes. | 04:54 |
| cronik | have a good night | 04:54 |
| sFEARs | sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-1.49 | 04:54 |
| shadeofgrey | sFEARs; thats not an answer to my question. i know Nvidias proprietary drivers work... i want to know if they can handle two video cards in sli mode or not | 04:54 |
| linux88 | m0u5e 3945 should work out of the box | 04:54 |
| sFEARs | later cronik | 04:54 |
| Fezzler | Ubuntu 7.10 doesn't remember my screen mHz setting after reboot? | 04:54 |
| m0u5e | linux88: yeah, thats what i thought too :X (i'm on a 3945 right now) | 04:54 |
| JJtech | buttercups: thanks | 04:54 |
| sFEARs | mabey it's setting to the correct mHz by default | 04:54 |
| sFEARs | ?? | 04:54 |
| shadeofgrey | specifically 8800 ultra | 04:54 |
| arashbi | any java developer here? I am having some problem with intellj under 7.10 | 04:54 |
| m0u5e | timi: okay. go back to the restricted dreriver manager and uncheck the box, and uninstall the driv | 04:54 |
| fairyeneried | i need a good suggestion on clipboard managers for ubuntu... | 04:54 |
| m0u5e | timi: lets try to reinstall the thing from scratch | 04:55 |
| linux88 | m0u5e 7.10? | 04:55 |
| m0u5e | linux88: i'm assuming thats what timi is on... | 04:55 |
| Fezzler | Starts in 50 mHz and looks grainy, I boost to 96 mHz, looks awesome but doesn't stick after boot. | 04:55 |
| timi | I'm on 7.10 | 04:55 |
| timi | okay | 04:55 |
| sFEARs | umm.... not sure Fezzler | 04:55 |
| m0u5e | timi: so yeah, uninstall and resinstall the drivers, it'll probably require several x restarts / reboots | 04:56 |
| Munk333_ | is there a good utility for making an image of my harddrive? | 04:56 |
| linux88 | m0u5e i just got an upgraded version of the same laptop, but they changed the wireless card, some broadcom, and for some reason ubuntu cant even see it with lspci, so i went and bot a 40 dollar belkin wireless g usb and used ndiswrapper and works perfectly now | 04:56 |
| sFEARs | you could try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and manually set the mHz settings.. but you may also select the wrong drivers for you video card | 04:56 |
| PuZo | does ubuntu limit my network speeds my default? | 04:56 |
| swix | I don't want to burn any CDs, but I do have an (empty) external harddrive, so is there some way I can install 7.10 from it on to my computer? | 04:56 |
| timi | m0u5e: Okay, may need help here too. I do this using restricted drivers thinger? | 04:57 |
| m0u5e | linux88: yeah broadcom cards require that you extract the firmware version | 04:57 |
| JimmyDee | broadcomm + ubuntu = run away screaming | 04:57 |
| tony__ | I need help. I think gutsy gibbon is messing my system up. | 04:57 |
| robdig | PuZo: no | 04:57 |
| m0u5e | timi: yes | 04:57 |
| linux88 | m0u5e what do u mean exactly | 04:57 |
| Sankyo | I'm installing Ubuntu 7.10 | 04:57 |
| sFEARs | swix.. there are ways to do it but i don't think you can use the live install | 04:57 |
| Fezzler | that's a thought | 04:57 |
| timi | m0u5e: just uncheck enabled beside the card listing? | 04:57 |
| _nix_ | swix: yes there are ways but you'll need the alternate install disk | 04:57 |
| sFEARs | and he doesn't want to burn a cd | 04:58 |
| swix | heh, maybe I'll just burn a cd... :S | 04:58 |
| timi | Shutting down | 04:58 |
| sFEARs | even if you bios would recognize the external hard drive you wouldn't be able to make the external bootable | 04:58 |
| jals | how can i install s2ram? | 04:58 |
| Fezzler | first tonight, Ubuntu totally freezing up, could not even get another session going with Ctrl-Alt-FX | 04:58 |
| m0u5e | linux88: some broadcom cards won't work in linux unless you install extras | 04:59 |
| m0u5e | linux88: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ | 04:59 |
| linux88 | m0u5e ya, but it should at least see my hardware no? | 04:59 |
| sFEARs | lspci should list everything on the pci bus | 04:59 |
| sFEARs | i think | 05:00 |
| m0u5e | linux88: it didn't see mine either when i was using a linksysWPG55 | 05:00 |
| m0u5e | linux88: blah whatever that card was called haha | 05:00 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | hello, my workspace switch seems to have died. When I click another square nothing happens. How could I repair it? | 05:00 |
| linux88 | m0u5e hah, were you able to get it to work tho? | 05:00 |
| Munk333_ | is there a good utility for making an image of my harddrive? | 05:00 |
| m0u5e | linux88: yeah, i installed bcm43xx-fwcutter | 05:01 |
| sFEARs | right click & configure destkops?? | 05:01 |
| sproingie | whoah ... what the heck are varrun and varlock filesystems? | 05:01 |
| linux88 | m0u5e hm, i guess i could give that i try, i assume the link you gave is all i need? | 05:01 |
| sFEARs | SlickMcRunfast_G, right click & configure desktops?? | 05:01 |
| sproingie | i've never seen them before, any pointers to docs on them? | 05:01 |
| EC44 | Anyone up for suggesting an ftp server for Ubuntu Server 7.10? I've searched and only found tutorials on proftpd, and it doesn't seem to work. | 05:01 |
| lightentity | how come i could only connect to the internet using typing in dhclient in terminal but cant connect automatically using ubuntus default settings | 05:01 |
| Munk333_ | !ghost | 05:02 |
| ubotu | On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password> | 05:02 |
| sFEARs | i've had that problem before lightentity never figure out what was up with that | 05:02 |
| sFEARs | figured* | 05:02 |
| timi | Okay | 05:02 |
| timi | I'm rebooted | 05:02 |
| lightentity | making me mad | 05:02 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | sFEARs, where is this? | 05:02 |
| m0u5e | linux88: the apsta.o is gone now though... you'll need to find it manually :X err here: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/gutsy-cafuego/bcm43xx/ | 05:02 |
| joeb3_ | lightentity, did you set the card for dhcp in the network manager? | 05:02 |
| lightentity | tired of typing dhclient every 14 mins | 05:02 |
| m0u5e | linux88: that's assuming you have the bcm43xx series | 05:02 |
| sFEARs | on your multiple desktops applet on your panel.. right click on the active desktop icon & reconfigure | 05:03 |
| timi | m0u5e: rebooted, should I turn the card back to being enabled and reboot again, or do you have other ideas? | 05:03 |
| m0u5e | timi: yeah, re-enable it | 05:03 |
| lightentity | its all on automatic i just installed the drivers i pick da network from the list and at that point i have to type dhclient while its attempting to connect becuz if i just leave it there it wont connect | 05:03 |
| sFEARs | you disconnect proally doesn't have anything to do with you | 05:03 |
| sFEARs | your* | 05:03 |
| chilli_ | #ecere | 05:03 |
| m0u5e | timi: and see if it gives you any errors during the installation | 05:03 |
| magic_ninja | !foo | 05:03 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about foo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:03 |
| sFEARs | probably just losing signal | 05:03 |
| lightentity | its just on roaming mode | 05:03 |
| dissection | In the gnome panel, I can scroll between the applications tabs. Can I disable that? | 05:03 |
| neus | Hey guys, is there a way to add the "File Size" column to "Open File" dialog boxes in ubuntu? | 05:04 |
| timi | I don't think I'm really re installing it though, I think it's just disabling/enabling it. | 05:04 |
| linux88 | m0u5e i believe i do, read it on a forum, someone had the same comp as me. Is the only way to find out is form spec sheets online sense i cant see the hardware | 05:04 |

| SlickMcRunfast_G | sFEARs, never mind I found the problem. I run compiz and the 3d cude option was selected but not the rotate cube so that for some reason kills my workspaces. | 05:06 |

| timi | m0u5e: Nothing happening. It's enabled and 'in use' and shit-I-froze-my-laptop | 05:11 |
| timi | >_> | 05:11 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, you might need to add restricted | 05:11 |
| timi | straight from above. | 05:11 |
| m0u5e | timi: so it works now? or did something happen when "shit i froze up my laptop" | 05:11 |
| timi | it was working | 05:11 |
| m0u5e | timi: then what happened | 05:11 |
| timi | and I went to look to see if the wireless was working | 05:11 |
| timi | and it froze | 05:11 |
| sFEARs | i havn't been able to get compiz working correctally.. i lost all my window borders when i turn on advanced visual settings.. never could get it working | 05:11 |
| timi | I'm going to reboot again. | 05:12 |
| alimoe | how do i do it? im new | 05:12 |
| m0u5e | timi: yeah, that happened to me a few times too... with the 3945 | 05:12 |
| sFEARs | saw all kinds of issues with it.. but none of the fixes worked for me | 05:12 |
| timi | mmh | 05:12 |
| m0u5e | timi: you just gotta be patient with it... its a little bit finicky | 05:12 |
| timi | nasty | 05:12 |
| m0u5e | timi: thats normal | 05:12 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, its really easy, System > Admin > Software Sources > | 05:12 |
| CoasterMaster | so what happens if you type (DON'T TRY) "rm -rf /" (with proper permissions)....does it just freeze, reboot, what? | 05:12 |
| nvictor | sFEARs: says it can't remove because the folder is not empty | 05:12 |
| NemesisD | hi all, im trying to recreate ubuntu's method of dealing with sudo and users, i basically want 1 user with my name, my password an sudo, can someone please tell me if i'm doing this right? | 05:12 |
| timi | m0u5e, your idea of normal scares me. | 05:12 |
| m0u5e | timi: like whenver i get disconnected from a network, i have to let it reconnect by itself, if i touch it or play with it during that time, it dies :X | 05:12 |
| alimoe | k | 05:12 |
| sFEARs | i'm not sure.. i've never tried it | 05:12 |
| m0u5e | timi: it scares me too lol | 05:12 |
| thinsoldier | any idea why my dvd drive isnt working | 05:13 |
| robdig | magic_ninja: did you get an answer yet? | 05:13 |
| m0u5e | anyone else here have a 3945 pro wireless and want to share? | 05:13 |
| NemesisD | i made a group called admin, added my user to that group, and added %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL via visudo | 05:13 |
| sFEARs | i think it wouldn't freeze untill it went for new information.. it would continue to work off what's in swap | 05:13 |
| CoasterMaster | NemesisD, one account with that password being the sudo password is the default install | 05:13 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, then look for the check box restricted by copyright or legal | 05:13 |
| sFEARs | but it wouldn't reboot | 05:13 |
| sdlvx_ | I got a friend to start using Ubuntu and he is having a kind of obscure picky problem with his partitions | 05:13 |
| thinsoldier | it usually just refuses to open when i use ubuntu | 05:13 |
| linux88 | robdig on what? | 05:13 |
| sdlvx_ | can someone help? I couldn't find anything on the forums | 05:13 |
| thinsoldier | ubuntu says there is a mounted cd rom but when I booted there were no cds in it | 05:13 |
| alimoe | k should i uncheck it? | 05:13 |
| thinsoldier | and it wont eject | 05:13 |
| NemesisD | CoasterMaster, i have kind of an atypical install, its on a usb drive and it installed a nopasswd user with root privs, which is needless to say, extremely insecure | 05:13 |
| sFEARs | what's the problem sdlvx_ | 05:13 |
| thinsoldier | and the button on the physical drive wont open it | 05:13 |
| robdig | linux88: he was wanting to know how to remove a package | 05:13 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, click it and close. It will do a little loading(update) and then look for the divx in add/remove again | 05:13 |
| thinsoldier | in windows it works fine | 05:13 |
| thinsoldier | i just checked | 05:13 |
| mrcabana | sdlvx_: what problems are you having? | 05:14 |
| linux88 | sdlvx_ what problems? | 05:14 |
| sdlvx_ | alright so I had him install, and he shrunk his windows partition and put linux on and it works | 05:14 |
| magic_ninja | robdig: na man, i just did an autoupdate, had to hard reboot my comp, then had a bout with file system errors, manually ran fsck, then this happens (my guess is from the fsck correct) but i have no printer and no need for the package | 05:14 |
| sdlvx_ | but i told him to use the windows partition for music/pictures | 05:14 |
| CoasterMaster | NemesisD, ahhh, well to lock the sudo account, it's sudo passwd -l, and to give yourself sudo permissions, add your account to the admin group | 05:14 |
| linux88 | great | 05:14 |
| meeper | hmm | 05:14 |
| sdlvx_ | and keep the ubuntu partition small because I knew that resizing too much would cause the windows to be corrupted | 05:14 |
| xaero_ | can anyone help em? | 05:14 |
| xaero_ | me? | 05:14 |
| nvictor | got something | 05:14 |
| linux88 | robdig oh | 05:14 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, uncheck? You want it to be checked. | 05:14 |
| CaptainMorgan | I just installed a web server.... only .php pages on that server will not show in a browser(they want to be downloaded), from another system I can view that page php page, and on the system I can view .php pages from other sites.... | 05:14 |
| sdlvx_ | so he's trying to set his wallpaper to a picture on the windows partition | 05:14 |
| CaptainMorgan | any ideas? | 05:14 |
| Lane_Rendell | sdlx_: Yeah I figured that out the first time I ever installed a distro | 05:15 |
| Lane_Rendell | :P | 05:15 |
| NemesisD | CoasterMaster, so if the user that i want to be sudo-ified is michael, sudo password -l michael ? | 05:15 |
| CoasterMaster | CaptainMorgan, what webserver did you install | 05:15 |
| CoasterMaster | no | 05:15 |
| chilli_ | any1 know how to copie file with terminal | 05:15 |
| sdlvx_ | and it doesn't work after it reboots | 05:15 |
| magic_ninja | robdig: if you get an answer PLEASE pm it to me, i'm going afk a bit | 05:15 |
| sdlvx_ | is there anything he can do? | 05:15 |
| CaptainMorgan | CoasterMaster, apache2 | 05:15 |
| alimoe | k | 05:15 |
| xaero_ | can anyone help me... its about compiz... | 05:15 |
| sdlvx_ | i thought maybe if he moved the entry in fstab up to the top it would help | 05:15 |
| sdlvx_ | xaero I can probably help | 05:15 |
| robdig | magic_ninja: from a terminal try apt-get purge foo2zjs | 05:15 |
| linux88 | sdlvx_ maybe he should copy it to the linux partition | 05:15 |
| NemesisD | xaero_, don't ask to ask, just ask :) | 05:15 |
| CoasterMaster | NemesisD, to disable the root account so you can't login as it (which is the recomended choice), by running passwd -l root | 05:15 |
| sFEARs | chilli_, "sudo cp /home/user/file name /home/user/Desktop/filename | 05:15 |
| eegore | what is the best command to clone a drive | 05:15 |
| bigfuzzyjesus | whats everyones favorite feed reader | 05:15 |

| CoasterMaster | NemesisD, and everyone in the usergroup 'admin' can use sudo to do things as root | 05:16 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, does it show up in add/remove application now | 05:16 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | ? | 05:16 |
| sdlvx_ | can he shrink the windows partition some more and then extend the linux one? | 05:16 |
| arooni_ | how do i install yahoo messenger | 05:16 |
| arooni_ | on ubuntu | 05:16 |
| arooni_ | i want to use yahoo chat rooms | 05:16 |
| xaero_ | ok i installed compiz manager but i cant seem to get a desktop cube.. i get like a sheet of paper.. | 05:16 |
| mrcabana | sdlvx_: so you can acctually see the pic on ur windows partition, rite? | 05:16 |
| m0u5e | xaero_ go into ccsm and enable cube | 05:16 |
| NemesisD | CoasterMaster, ok, makes sense | 05:16 |
| Lane_Rendell | arooni_: Pidgin which is usually installed by default has YIM capabilities. | 05:16 |
| sdlvx_ | xaero you need to adjust horizontal virutal destkop size which is found in ccsm | 05:16 |
| sdlvx_ | under general options | 05:16 |
| sFEARs | i don't think you can extend a partition.. i think you can only shrink them | 05:16 |
| k1dugar | Hello everyone | 05:16 |
| alimoe | no, when i search for divx it shows movie player | 05:16 |
| arooni_ | Lane_Rendell, but i want to go in yahoo chat rooms | 05:16 |
| sFEARs | i could be wrong on that one | 05:16 |
| arooni_ | heh | 05:16 |
| sdlvx_ | mrcabana: his NTFS drive works with read and write | 05:16 |
| linux88 | sdlvx_ not sure exactly,but if he doesnt mind reinstalling ubuntu agian he can deffinetly shrink windows then | 05:16 |
| sFEARs | hello kldugar | 05:16 |
| CoasterMaster | CaptainMorgan, ahhh, I'm not sure how to set PHP up with apache2, but you can install LAMP to auto-install and config Apache, MySQL, and PHP | 05:16 |
| xaero_ | i already enabled cube, and rotate cube, and cube reflection.. | 05:17 |
| CoasterMaster | !lamp | CaptainMorgan | 05:17 |
| ubotu | CaptainMorgan: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 05:17 |

| fiXXXerMet | Postfix and apache2. | 05:17 |

| CaptainMorgan | CoasterMaster, uhm... that's the page I followed from | 05:18 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, whats the show: thing say in add/remove | 05:18 |
| timi | oh | 05:18 |
| timi | yeah. | 05:18 |
| sFEARs | using the sudo command will ask for a password and give you root access to copy to the locked /usr/bin directory | 05:18 |
| timi | my PC is wireless. | 05:18 |
| timi | desktop, that is. | 05:18 |
| CoasterMaster | CaptainMorgan, oh, I thought you said you just installed apache2 | 05:18 |
| xaero_ | errr... | 05:18 |
| linux88 | sdlvx_ i mean 40 sounds descent what is he using the linux for? | 05:18 |
| sdlvx_ | everything | 05:18 |
| mrcabana | sdlvx_: he can shrink his windows partition as much as he wants, just give some room for windows pagefiles plus some extra | 05:18 |
| m0u5e | timi: your 3945 can't see your pc unless you set it up to be adhoc | 05:18 |

| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, top right in add/remove there is a drop down box | 05:19 |
| NemesisD | CoasterMaster, ok we've got problems, for some reason my administrative password doesn't work now | 05:19 |
| timi | m0u5e, no, what I mean is, my PC has a good old SMC that's on windows, it's my laptop with the 3945 and ubuntu. | 05:19 |
| sFEARs | kinda genius if you ask me.. beats all the partitioning bullcrap | 05:19 |
| linux88 | sdlvx_ tell him to get rid of windows then | 05:19 |
| sFEARs | i'd have to say that's one reason windows won | 05:19 |
| m0u5e | timi: try typing in the network ssid and passkey manually? | 05:19 |
| alimoe | i see it | 05:19 |
| Magilla | would it work if I set the cron job "shutdown -Pn now" as root? | 05:19 |
| mrcabana | sdlvx_: yes, but it resides inside windows partition, it would be a good idea to defrag win partition before changing sizes | 05:19 |
| CoasterMaster | NemesisD, can you log in at all? | 05:19 |
| xexos | does ubuntu have broadcom support? | 05:19 |
| m0u5e | sFEARs: i prefer to have my pagefile on a seperate partition | 05:19 |
| mrcabana | sdlvx_: to avoid file corruption | 05:19 |
| timi | m0u5e, I would, but it doesn't give me the option to. | 05:19 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, what does it say? It should be set to All availiable apps | 05:20 |
| NemesisD | CoasterMaster, oh i can log in under my michael account but i can't do anything requiring admin privs | 05:20 |
| sFEARs | well of course it works better.. but for a newbie that doesn't know anybetter | 05:20 |
| tatterdemalian | I just found out that my avahi package is linked to ubuntu-desktop. I can't remove one without removing the other. | 05:20 |
| m0u5e | timi: can you right click your network icon, and click "manually connect to wifi" or something | 05:20 |
| alimoe | i selected that now | 05:20 |
| timi | Nope. | 05:20 |
| mrcabana | can anyone help me with compiz fusion? i need to know where the settings are stored | 05:20 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, not look for divx | 05:20 |
| CoasterMaster | NemesisD, I'm guessing you didn't add yourself to admins before locking the root account *eee* | 05:20 |
| sFEARs | just makes install easier.. more user friedly to not have to pick partitions to install the OS | 05:20 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | now | 05:20 |
| genii | then? | 05:21 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, did it come up this time? | 05:21 |
| m0u5e | mrcabana: sudo apt-get install compizcofig-settings-manager | 05:21 |
| sFEARs | mrcabana.. in your settings/apperance there should be a button next to advanced visualizations | 05:21 |
| CoasterMaster | NemesisD, and now I assume you can't login as root as well | 05:21 |
| alimoe | yup | 05:21 |
| Anonymous_ | hi I can't get Compiz to run on any users except the first one that was set up (i.e. the one that has su privileges) | 05:21 |
| timi | m0u5e, Nope, I can screen shot stuff and send you pictures, if you want a more visual sense of what we're dealing with. | 05:21 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, install and have fun | 05:21 |
| m0u5e | timi: this is so weird 6_6; | 05:21 |
| alimoe | i ddnt gstreamer | 05:21 |
| NemesisD | CoasterMaster, oh crap, turns out there is no default password for root, im supposed to run sudo passwd root for some reason | 05:21 |
| kanuha | is it possible to install and run superkaramba in gnome? | 05:21 |
| timi | m0u5e, Amen. | 05:21 |
| m0u5e | timi: you're saying it worked for a little bit, then it doesnt work anymore? | 05:22 |
| alimoe | i just the plugins | 05:22 |
| k1dugar | I installed firestarter and to auto on boot I added it in System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup applications. But after I login application fail to start saying it does not have privilege. Can anyone tell me how to start it with root privilege?? | 05:22 |
| alimoe | i dd install | 05:22 |
| NemesisD | hold on lemme log in under a different user | 05:22 |
| CoasterMaster | NemesisD, try loggin in to root with password as '!' (no quotes) | 05:22 |
| timi | m0u5e, No, it never worked. It says it's enabled, and 'in use' but it doesn't allow me to connect to the wireless network, and never has. | 05:22 |
| mrcabana | m0u5e, sFEARs: i had it up and running, but i click on "reflection" and then it froze, i just want to get into that settings file to manully deactivate "reflection" | 05:22 |
| k1dugar | sFEARs: Hi | 05:22 |
| alimoe | movie player with xine backend? | 05:22 |
| xexos | does ubuntu have broadcom support? | 05:22 |
| vozzy | y | 05:22 |
| linux88 | timi does it have a interface? | 05:22 |
| m0u5e | mrcabana: system>preferences> advanced desktop effects etc | 05:23 |
| timi | linux88: What's that? | 05:23 |
| m0u5e | timi: open up a console | 05:23 |
| m0u5e | timi: type in killall nm-applet | 05:23 |
| linux88 | timi type ifconfig | 05:23 |
| mrcabana | m0u5e, sFEARs: i CANT get into gnome, it freezes after loggin in | 05:23 |
| m0u5e | and then type in "nm-applet --sm-disable" | 05:23 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, I believe the divx applies to all media players | 05:23 |
| leenix | xexos: uses bcm43xx-fwcutter | 05:23 |
| alimoe | oh k | 05:23 |
| leenix | works well | 05:23 |
| kanuha | is it possible to install and run superkaramba in gnome? | 05:23 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, like VLC or movie player | 05:23 |
| m0u5e | mrcabana: press ctrl+alt+f1, type in metacity --replace | 05:23 |
| kosta_ny | hi everyone | 05:24 |
| alimoe | k\ | 05:24 |
| m0u5e | kanuha: its possible... don't know how well it works | 05:24 |
| timi | m0u5e, is that another sudo? | 05:24 |
| NemesisD | ok CoasterMaster, so i set the root password now, are we sure that visudo should read: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL ? | 05:24 |
| m0u5e | timi: i don't think it requires sudo... try it without first | 05:24 |
| alimoe | thanks | 05:24 |
| SlickMcRunfast_G | alimoe, np | 05:24 |
| mrcabana | m0u5e, sFEARs: i CANT get into gnome | 05:24 |
| timi | it is, I guess | 05:24 |
| timi | says no process killed. | 05:24 |
| k1dugar | I installed firestarter and to auto on boot I added it in System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup applications. But after I login application fail to start saying it does not have privilege. Can anyone tell me how to start it with root privilege?? | 05:24 |
| kanuha | m0u5e, thx | 05:24 |
| mrcabana | m0u5e, sFEARs: but i CAN get into KDE | 05:24 |
| m0u5e | mrcabana: wait... what happens when you try to launch a gnome session | 05:25 |
| m0u5e | mrcabana: you get a pink background right? | 05:25 |
| mrcabana | m0u5e, sFEARs: if i type metacity --replace from KDE will it be set in gnome? | 05:25 |
| m0u5e | mrcabana: peach, brown, whatever | 05:25 |
| xen_caapn | my screensaver doesn't turn on when it is supposed to, why is this? | 05:25 |
| mrcabana | m0u5e, sFEARs: it freezes before showing the desktop | 05:25 |
| linux88 | hey m0u5e did u ever check out my post? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45662/ | 05:25 |
| Lane_Rendell | xen_caapn: It doesnt do anything, no errors or anything? | 05:25 |
| mrcabana | m0u5e, sFEARs: and i cant do anything from there, just the mouse moves, but nothing else | 05:25 |
| m0u5e | sfears: okay, get into the gnome session, and then alt+ctrl+f1 and type in metacity --replace | 05:25 |
| CoasterMaster | NemesisD, yes, I just checked my visudo file and that's the last line, I can give you the complete file if you'd like | 05:25 |
| xen_caapn | correct Lane_Rendell | 05:26 |
| linux88 | timi in terminal type ifconfig | 05:26 |
| timi | linux88: gone down that route, hours ago. | 05:26 |
| NemesisD | oh geeze, there is no admin group :P maybe that would help | 05:26 |
| mrcabana | m0u5e, sFEARs: ok, gonna try that .... will be back in a few | 05:26 |
| plexq | connected? | 05:26 |
| plexq | ok | 05:26 |
| dissection | The firefox preference window never remembers the size and reverts back everytime I restart firefox | 05:26 |
| linux88 | timi oh, so ifconfig shows your wireless interface? | 05:26 |
| plexq | Anyone try firefox 3? | 05:26 |
| plexq | I can't get it to run | 05:26 |
| dissection | Horrible | 05:26 |
| k1dugar | can some help me?? | 05:26 |
| k1dugar | I installed firestarter and to auto on boot I added it in System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup applications. But after I login application fail to start saying it does not have privilege. Can anyone tell me how to start it with root privilege?? | 05:26 |
| timi | I believe it tells be that there are no drivers for my wireless. | 05:26 |
| timi | that might be lshw, though | 05:27 |
| m0u5e | timi: ifconfig, iwconfig, lsmod | grep -i intel, everything.. nothing works? :X | 05:27 |
| timi | iwconfig tells me that there are no wireless extentions. | 05:27 |
| linux88 | timi are you able to see the hardware? | 05:28 |
| m0u5e | here, pastebin lspci and ifconfig for me so i can see them :X | 05:28 |
| dissection | k1dugar, firestarter is already running. You don't need the GUI to be launched on startup, but if you still want it, you can add it to your sudoers file. | 05:29 |
| k1dugar | dissection thanks | 05:29 |
| bullgard4 | In the 'Location' field Nautilus shows: "smb://md97600/freigegeben" and in 'Name' "config". But why does on the other hand "detlef@MD97600:~$ ls smb://md97600/freigegeben/config" respond: "ls: smb://md97600/freigegeben/config: No such file or directory"? | 05:29 |
| pooyak | I noticed my harddrive is suddenly filled up today | 05:30 |
| pooyak | one major thing I found is the tracker service | 05:30 |
| linux88 | lol with what | 05:30 |
| CaptainRon | Ive looked around on the forums and such and I still cant keep my VAIO from crashing with blinking caps/scroll lock. Has there been any fixes published that I cant find? | 05:30 |
| timi | whats the url for pastebin again? | 05:30 |
| * genii is tempted to ask "With pron?" | 05:30 | |
| m0u5e | !pastebin | timi | 05:30 |
| ubotu | timi: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 05:30 |
| dissection | How do I resize the firefox preferences window and make the change permanent? | 05:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | timi: in the topic of channel | 05:31 |
| k1dugar | dissection: one more thing, do you know fix for firestarter crash problem | 05:31 |
| pooyak | is it ok if I do this? deskbar-applet [2.20.0-0ubuntu2 (gutsy, now) -> 2.18.1-0ubuntu2 (feisty)] | 05:31 |
| Gilgad | I'm having problems getting a pcmcia device to work | 05:31 |
| dissection | k1dugar: No sorry. It has never crashed on neither of my systems. | 05:31 |
| CaptainMorgan | if I apt-get remove --purge an application, why doesn't ALL the files get removed ? | 05:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: what port ae you trying to open with firestarter? | 05:31 |
| Gilgad | it doesn't appear in /sys/bus/pcmcia/devices | 05:31 |
| linux88 | captainmorgan maybe some file were created after the install of the originals? | 05:32 |
| CaptainMorgan | for example, files still exist in /etc relating to the various programs i've removed | 05:32 |
| k1dugar | dissection: it just crash after few min | 05:32 |
| plamo | m0u5e: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45664/ | 05:32 |
| jc | can anyone help me with photo printing? | 05:32 |
| alimoe | now i can play Divx | 05:33 |
| genii | gnite | 05:33 |
| CarlFK | what can make a VCD from a .wmv (which plays wit mplayer) | 05:33 |
| k1dugar | dissection: automatic it generate an error "Segmentation fault" | 05:33 |
| dissection | k1dugar: No idea, man ;/ | 05:33 |
| k1dugar | dissection: I google for some solution but could not find one https://bugs.launchpad.net/firestarter/+bug/120445 | 05:34 |
| k1dugar | dissection: it crashed now LOL.Im on Ubuntu 7.10 | 05:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: can you replicate it on another system? | 05:35 |
| alimoe | Ubuntu is the best | 05:36 |
| m0u5e | timi: it sees it :/ | 05:36 |
| timi | I thought as much | 05:36 |
| m0u5e | timi: 05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) | 05:36 |
| timi | I think it just cant utilize it. | 05:36 |
| m0u5e | timi: this doesn't even make sense :X | 05:36 |
| jc | anyone know how to improve photo print quality, with windows the prints look good in ubnutu they look like crap, same printer | 05:37 |
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: well I don't have another sys to check it out | 05:37 |
| plexq | becuase printing in linux is crap | 05:37 |
| alimoe | jc: which printer? | 05:37 |
| jc | canon ip5000 | 05:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: We just never have a problem with firestarter or iptables in general... | 05:37 |
| plexq | printers convert RGB to CMYK and each printer does it differently | 05:37 |
| plexq | it's normaly done by the drivers | 05:37 |
| plexq | which are published by the manufacturer, unless of course you pick linux | 05:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: Have you used any scriots like automatix or envy ... was this an upgrade or fresh install of 7.10 | 05:38 |
| jc | would it be better to switch the image from rgb to cmyk in software and then print? | 05:38 |
| plexq | what software in linux do you know that can do CMYK?! | 05:38 |
| sproingie | god knows not gimp | 05:38 |
| timi | we'll | 05:38 |
| timi | we're doing something right | 05:38 |
| timi | because | 05:38 |
| plexq | it might help assuming the print system doesn't just convert it back to RGB on the way | 05:38 |
| sproingie | even if you did, the linux drivers will convert it again | 05:39 |
| timi | it's recognised as part of the network now | 05:39 |
| plexq | but each printer does it differently anyway | 05:39 |
| plexq | inks are unique to vendor | 05:39 |
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: Fresh Install, I updated it too but I still face this problem | 05:39 |
| plexq | and each vendor's inks mix differently | 05:39 |
| m0u5e | timi: o_O; | 05:39 |
| linux88 | timi under network manager does it give you a wireless option there? | 05:39 |
| timi | linux88: that's the problem, it doesn't. | 05:39 |
| linux88 | timi ok, that sounds like a drive issue | 05:39 |
| linux88 | driver | 05:40 |
| jc | so even if I did switch to cmyk the prints would look like crap is that what I'm hearing? | 05:40 |
| timi | Yep, I've known this for the last 24 hours. | 05:40 |
| linux88 | timi lol sorry | 05:40 |
| timi | the problem is installing the drivers correctly. | 05:40 |
| timi | It's OK. | 05:40 |
| m0u5e | timi: i'm out of ideas... from this point forward, i'd say just start trying everything :X | 05:40 |
| timi | Your new on the case. | 05:40 |
| linux88 | timi yes thats true, did it work on the live cd at all? | 05:40 |
| timi | m0u5e, okay, thanks for the help, m0u5e | 05:40 |
| ramvi | Is there a package that gives me all the experimental compiz plugins? Like the screensaver that appered this summer? | 05:40 |
| m0u5e | timi: like clearing your apt cache, redownload the driver... etc | 05:40 |
| m0u5e | timi: Reformat lol | 05:40 |
| jc | plexq so even if I switch to cmyk the prints would look bad? | 05:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: You didnt answer two of my questions obout scripts and what ports you were trying to open | 05:41 |
| timi | linux88: No | 05:41 |
| timi | m0us5, thats not the right way to approach it though. | 05:41 |
| timi | the problem is is that the drivers that it comes with don't work correctly | 05:41 |
| m0u5e | timi: they should :X | 05:41 |
| timi | Intel offers drivers that do work. | 05:41 |
| wastrel | hi | 05:41 |
| timi | the problem is the configuration or something | 05:41 |
| m0u5e | timi: those are the intel drivers though... | 05:41 |
| timi | they're ipl instead of iwl. | 05:41 |
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: Im really new with linux based OS, I don't know much about it. If I install a package eg. firestarter it should be System Monitor if its suppose to start on boot Process list but I don't see it | 05:41 |
| timi | m0u5e, it's an intel card. | 05:41 |
| insmod | <timi> just use ndis | 05:42 |
| tecywiz121 | hello again :) I have another question, this time about sound | 05:42 |
| timi | insmod: coudln't get that working either. | 05:42 |
| timi | ndis died aswell. | 05:42 |
| sproingie | jc: the stock drivers are pretty likely to always print color separations like crap unfortunately | 05:42 |
| insmod | <timi> just install the driver done | 05:42 |
| timi | I insmod: the problem is how I go about doing that >_> | 05:42 |
| timi | I mean, it's a relatively simple thing, but I'm totally new to ubuntu, and linux. I have no clue what I'm doing here. | 05:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: You seem not to understand how these things work in Linux... If you are not trying to open a specific port you do not need firestarter... and it does not pop up like zone alarm if that is what you are looking for | 05:43 |
| sproingie | jc: it takes a high-end printer that does the color process onboard to look good in linux, because by then the pc is just a dumb client | 05:43 |
| jc | sproingie: so are there other print divers I could use? | 05:43 |
| m0u5e | k1dugar: firestarter is just a frontend and config tool for iptables | 05:43 |
| === KI4IKL|Lappy is now known as KI4IKL | ||
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: I dint open any port I just used it basic configurations and I did not use any script | 05:43 |
| insmod | <timi> sudo modprobe ndiswrapper & ndiswrapper -i file.inf & ndiswrapper -l & ndiswrapper -m done | 05:43 |
| sproingie | jc: no idea, i don't even have a printer that works at all in linux | 05:44 |
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: but it's a firewall!! | 05:44 |
| k1dugar | right | 05:44 |
| m0u5e | insmod: intel 3945 shouldn't have to use ndiswrapper though ? o_O; | 05:44 |
| macogw | k1dugar: everything is blocked by default. if you need to OPEN anything, you need to configure it | 05:44 |
| jc | Wow thats not good - is there any way to use the windows print drivers ? | 05:44 |
| macogw | m0u5e: no. that should work perfectly | 05:44 |
| timi | Kay | 05:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: You simply do not understand how these things work in linux... you do not need firestarted to have a firewall. Firestarter is NOT a firewall | 05:44 |
| timi | will try | 05:44 |
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: aha | 05:44 |
| insmod | <m0u5e>so it will still work | 05:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !firewall | 05:44 |
| insmod | jc what printer | 05:44 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 05:44 |
| sproingie | jc: indeed there might be. i haven't researched it though | 05:44 |
| tecywiz121 | i have a lappy, and when I use my external sound card (Audigy2) it works fine, but for the onboard (it used to show up as realtek, now ATI) only works with ESD | 05:44 |
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: Im windows guy. But its nice to know that :) | 05:45 |
| jc | insmod canon ip5000 | 05:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: If you doubt this, you can go to grc.com and run shields up scan to show no open ports.. without ever running firestarter | 05:45 |
| macogw | k1dugar: firestarter lets you configure iptables which is the built-in kernel-level firewall. without it, you couldnt do anything networking related. it is configured to not listen on ANY ports by default. if you need to open a port so people can ssh into your box, then you can use firestarter, otherwise, it's perfectly walled off as is | 05:45 |
| timi | aw crap | 05:45 |
| timi | crashed it | 05:45 |
| insmod | jc: hmm HP ans epson both have proprietary drivers canon may as well | 05:45 |
| timi | brb, taking a leak. | 05:45 |
| === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | macogw: Most users can access the internet and ormal functions without firestarter | 05:46 |

| * ere4si wonders if his chat will work this time... | 05:46 | |
| m0u5e | linux88: yeah? | 05:46 |
| insmod | jc: yup | 05:47 |
| macogw | Jack_Sparrow: without iptables, i meant | 05:47 |
| linux88 | m0u5e i got wow to work in wine now after doing stuff with winecfg, but it doesnt seem like it can connect to the internet through wine. how do i do that | 05:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 05:47 |
| jc | hmm I'll google it to see, I'm just using the ones that came with the stock install | 05:47 |
| insmod | jc: HP is a big linux contrib and epson (kowa) japan as well | 05:47 |
| macogw | k1dugar: if that confused you like it did jack, so you know, i meant if you remove iptables, you lose all networking functions | 05:47 |
| macogw | not if you remove firestarter | 05:47 |
| m0u5e | linux88: it can't connect? ... try opening port 6112? | 05:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | agreed | 05:48 |
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: I don't want to say anything but in "Help and Support > Keeping your Computer Safe > Setup a firewall" says firestarter is a firewall | 05:48 |
| linux88 | m0u5e ok, you know how to do that off hand, ima go google it | 05:48 |
| insmod | jc: i only buy stuff with prop. drivers nvidia HP printers etc | 05:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: It is wrong... | 05:48 |
| m0u5e | linux88: go into firestarter if you're using that | 05:48 |
| ere4si | !firestarter | 05:48 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 05:48 |

| k1dugar | * Keeping Your Computer Safe | 05:48 |
| k1dugar | You can optionally install a firewall to protect your computer against unauthorized access by people on the Internet or your network. Firewalls block connections to your computer from unknown sources, which helps to prevent security breaches. | 05:48 |

| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: KDE help center... ? | 05:50 |
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: and path is "Help and Support > Keeping your Computer Safe > Setup a firewall" | 05:50 |
| KePaJo | wuts the best linux web programmer? | 05:50 |
| k1dugar | no Gnome | 05:50 |
| KePaJo | Screem? | 05:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: Regardless... it is not correct... | 05:50 |
| timi | insmod | 05:51 |
| timi | when you say ndiswrapper -i file.inf | 05:51 |
| timi | do you literally mean file.inf | 05:51 |
| timi | or is file supposed to be replaced by something? | 05:51 |
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: Anyways thanks | 05:51 |
| macogw | k1dugar: where do you see "help and support"?? | 05:51 |
| linux88 | timi file is replaced by somehting else | 05:51 |
| timi | what? >_< | 05:51 |
| insmod | <timi> yes | 05:51 |
| linux88 | timi are you using the gui for ndiswrapper? | 05:51 |
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: System | 05:51 |
| insmod | <timi> no | 05:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: I see it.. and it is wrong.. | 05:52 |
| KePaJo | I saaaiiiiddd...wuts the best web site building program fo Linux (Ubuntu)? | 05:52 |
| macogw | k1dugar: oh wait i was in the xchat-gnome manual...guess i have to click desktop first :P | 05:52 |
| insmod | <timi>the windows driver | 05:52 |
| timi | the windows driver. | 05:52 |
| linux88 | timi go to synaptic package manager | 05:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | macogw: we did the same thing | 05:52 |
| macogw | Jack_Sparrow: haha | 05:52 |
| linux88 | timi under admin | 05:52 |
| m0u5e | linux88: i think the easiest way to open up a port is just to go ahead and install firestarter and add the rule? (or did you get wow working already) | 05:52 |
| macogw | KePaJo: a text editor is the best website authoring tool on any platform | 05:53 |
| timi | Kay, at the synaptic package manager | 05:53 |
| m0u5e | linux88: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft | 05:53 |
| timi | ismod: problem is, I can't find the correct driver. | 05:53 |
| linux88 | m0u5e ok i will try that then, no i havent yet, well i have but not connected to the net yet | 05:53 |
| linux88 | timi k search for ndiswrapper | 05:53 |
| macogw | KePaJo: you get nice lean code properly done, unlike when you use something stupid like dreamweaver or frontpage that does tables and has extraneous code | 05:53 |
| m0u5e | linux88: that might be why it can't connect :X | 05:53 |
| linux88 | timi there should be three select all and install | 05:53 |
| timi | I have ndiswrapper, I think | 05:53 |
| KePaJo | oh, sure, direct me to using a rock to chip at a bigger rock to make a statue why don't you. | 05:53 |
| linux88 | timi ya but its easier using the GUI | 05:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !best > KePaJo | 05:54 |
| gaten | im having a weird problem with samba. on the remote machine, im writing files as a user i'm not logged in as. im mounting the shares in /etc/fstab w/ cifs and user and pass specified, and on the remote machine it sees me logged in as the correct user, but anytime i write a file, it creates it as another user w/ 770 perms, which means after creation i cannot write to it anymore | 05:54 |
| insmod | anyone know how to look at the cube in compiz? | 05:54 |
| timi | okay. | 05:54 |
| KePaJo | wut? | 05:54 |
| macogw | KePaJo: rock to chip at a rock? what? text editors let you end up with proper code instead of the mess that frontpage and dreamweaver make with their tables-based-layouts and junk. if you want wysiwyg though, google for "Kompozer" it doesnt do tables-based-layouts. it does proper css layouts | 05:54 |
| linux88 | timi once you install them... do you have the cd for the drivers? | 05:54 |
| KePaJo | I know, I've used Dreamweaver. Probably the main reason I migrated to Linux. | 05:55 |
| timi | Cd? | 05:55 |
| timi | I dont think there is a CD for the drivers. | 05:55 |
| linux88 | timi ok | 05:55 |
| macogw | KePaJo: i hate dreamweaver. when i did a web apprenticeship it really annoyed the guy that i didnt use the "power" of dreamweaver and instead clicked the "HTML" tab and put in clean code | 05:56 |
| timi | FFS! it froze again. | 05:56 |
| timi | is there any nice easy way to get it unfrozen? | 05:56 |
| timi | without a hard reset? | 05:56 |
| linux88 | timi what froze? | 05:56 |
| macogw | timi: what froze exactly? | 05:56 |
| timi | my laptop | 05:56 |
| KePaJo | so, you say Kompozer? I currently have Screem and am poking around in it to get it up and going. | 05:56 |
| timi | everything | 05:57 |
| macogw | timi: the gui or everything? | 05:57 |
| k1dugar | Jack_Sparrow: how can I close ports on my notebook | 05:57 |
| timi | Everythign. | 05:57 |
| macogw | timi: can you hit ctrl alt backspace and restart X? | 05:57 |
| timi | mouse doesn't move. | 05:57 |
| macogw | KePaJo: yah | 05:57 |
| macogw | KePaJo: if you do more web app devel, there's bluefish | 05:57 |
| timi | ctrl alt backspace | 05:57 |
| KePaJo | macogw: hokay, I'll look for it. | 05:57 |
| timi | doesn't work | 05:57 |
| macogw | timi: what about ctrl alt f1? | 05:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: what prots does grc show you have open | 05:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | port | 05:58 |
| timi | noghing | 05:58 |
| KePaJo | macogw: Thanks for you helpl | 05:58 |
| macogw | np | 05:58 |
| linux88 | timi lol is it wireless mouse? | 05:58 |
| timi | USB | 05:58 |
| BradG | firstly, i'm a total linux noob, i'm trying to get ubuntu 7.10 on my second box. live cd boots fine and install goes off without a hitch. if i install to my near death IDE drive it works fine, but if i install it to my new SATA drives, either of them, it doesn't boot to the desktop after install. it gives me the ubuntu loading screen, but after ~5 minutes it drops me out to | 05:58 |
| timi | but the normal one doesn't work either | 05:58 |
| timi | nor the keyboard. | 05:58 |
| linux88 | timi hm | 05:58 |
| k1dugar | Jack: well all ports are on "Stealth" | 05:59 |
| BradG | 'busy box v1.1.3' and gives me a prompt with (initramfs) and i can't figure out how to accomplish anything from there | 05:59 |
| nanbudh | how does linuxmint compare with gusty? | 05:59 |
| mrcabana | m0u5e: it didn't work ... CTRL+ALT+F1 takes me to a black screen and when i type metacity --replace, it says it cant display the X session | 05:59 |
| velko | timi, 1. "Alt+Ctrl+F1" to switch to a virtual console; 2. log in as your user; 3. "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" to restart X | 05:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BradG: I had to use F6 at the livecd menu then type noapic... I have sata drive as well as dvd | 05:59 |
| macogw | nanbudh: it has codecs beforehand. on gutsy you try to play the song and it goes "you need codecs! can i download them?" and um...thats about it, afaik | 05:59 |
| k1dugar | Jack: but I just want to know how to close if I find some open | 05:59 |
| === sdlvx_ is now known as sdlvx | ||
| timi | velko, alt ctrl f1 doesn't respond | 06:00 |
| timi | and I just rebooted | 06:00 |
| mrcabana | m0u5e: and if i type it in a terminal from KDE, it will apply metacity to KDE (which wasn't that good, of course) | 06:00 |
| gaten | im having a weird problem with samba. on the remote machine, im writing files as a user i'm not logged in as. im mounting the shares in /etc/fstab w/ cifs and user and pass specified, and on the remote machine it sees me logged in as the correct user, but anytime i write a file, it creates it as another user w/ 770 perms, which means after creation i cannot write to it anymore | 06:00 |
| linux88 | timi let me know once uve installed all the ndiswrappe packages | 06:00 |
| timi | will do | 06:00 |
| wastrel | gaten: are the uid of your local user & the remote user the same? | 06:00 |
| macogw | k1dugar: they are all closed. they open when you run a service like openssh-server (specifically, port 22 would open). if you have no services / servers running, they automatically close | 06:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: You need to read up on how the ip[tables work.. You can use a terminal - cli to make any rules you want. Try reading a bit on the subject... They really do take care of themselves, not at all like windows | 06:01 |
| gaten | wastrel: no, local is 1000 and remote is 1001. user names are different too | 06:01 |
| nanbudh | macogw: i am having problems with gutsy freezing on my AMD athlon64 machine with asus k8s-mx motherboard. will linuxmint also be the same if i try it? | 06:02 |
| timi | downloaded... | 06:02 |
| timi | installing... | 06:02 |

| mrcabana | anyone can tell me how to set metacity back to GNOME? i can't get into it and i will have to type it from KDE or from a ctrl+alt+f1 screen | 06:02 |

| nanbudh | and last night i tried like hell to crash gutsy and it dint but today morning i started and it frooze in a minute on running update manager | 06:04 |
| linux88 | timi ok you should jsut hve to type ndiswrapper in a terminal | 06:04 |
| sFEARs | every time i reboot i have to modprobe ndiswrapper.. how do i add that permenantly? | 06:04 |
| joeb3_ | JJtech, use pidgin | 06:04 |
| sFEARs | tussey.. "sudo fdisk -l" | 06:04 |
| macogw | nanbudh: yes. they have the same backend stuff | 06:04 |
| linux88 | tussey ill try... | 06:04 |
| macogw | k1dugar: workaround for what? | 06:04 |
| timi | linux88: it gives me a list of commands | 06:04 |
| sFEARs | find out what the "/dev/hda1" of your hard drive is.. then create a folder to mount it to and "sudo mount /dev/hda? /home/user/new folder" | 06:05 |
| linux88 | tussey u need to create a directory to where u will be mounting | 06:05 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | brb | 06:05 |
| linux88 | timi k one sec | 06:05 |
| nanbudh | Learning-Ubuntu::what do u think?will linuxmint also freeze on my system? | 06:05 |
| timi | yea for sure. | 06:05 |
| tussey | it's worth mentioning I'm boot off the alt ubuntu CD in command trying to edit a file on my hard drive which won't boot | 06:05 |
| tussey | the HD is /dev/sda1 | 06:05 |
| linux88 | timi sorry try sudo ndisgtk | 06:05 |
| tussey | how do I create the mount point? mkdir /mnt/foobar | 06:05 |
| yes | hi all | 06:05 |
| k1dugar | Jack: well best source I thought knowing about it was Documentation came with OS but even they are confusing bcoz firestarter is a firewall or ... | 06:05 |
| macogw | timi: use gksu, not sudo | 06:05 |
| yes | hell | 06:05 |
| velko | sFEARs, put the line "ndiswrapper" in the file /etc/modules | 06:06 |
| yes | hi all | 06:06 |
| sFEARs | cool | 06:06 |
| ZuriJS | i used root / root's pass to login to my swat by http://127.0.0.1:901/ and i just can't login . . . any advice? | 06:06 |

| yes | hey guys help me i have a 2computer | 06:06 |
| Some_Person | Help me! | 06:06 |
| mrcabana | how do i set metacity to gnome from that login window or from KDE? | 06:06 |
| Some_Person | Appearance prefs are freezing on me | 06:06 |
| yes | i wanna make a homenetwork | 06:06 |
| macogw | k1dugar: firewall is a configurator for the built-in firewall. they may have just called it a firewall to be "easy" and "simple" but the inaccuracy could potentially scare people with a bit of sense into thinking they're unprotected by default | 06:06 |
| linux88 | timi? | 06:06 |
| yes | firwall? | 06:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: check out man iptables | 06:07 |
| yes | what's problem? | 06:07 |
| yes | o[tables? | 06:07 |
| ere4si | tussey: sudo mkdir /media/(whatever you want to call it) - sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/(whatever) | 06:07 |
| macogw | Some_Person: blank-ish windows? | 06:07 |
| timi | the other person was right | 06:07 |
| timi | I got it now | 06:07 |
| macogw | Some_Person: do you have kde and gnome installed? | 06:07 |
| yes | how check up iptables? | 06:07 |
| linux88 | timi what did u fo | 06:07 |
| Some_Person | macogw: i used to | 06:07 |
| Arethius | any one know how I can get my media keys on my laptop to control audacious? | 06:07 |
| timi | gksu | 06:07 |
| tussey | ok I tried mkdir /mnt/foobar | 06:07 |
| linux88 | tussey? | 06:07 |
| timi | ndisgtk | 06:07 |
| macogw | Some_Person: there's a library you need to remove | 06:07 |
| yes | i been failed ... | 06:07 |
| Some_Person | macogw: what is it? | 06:07 |
| tussey | then mount -t /dev/sda1 /mnt/foobar | 06:08 |
| timi | Linux88: gksu ndisgtk | 06:08 |
| macogw | Some_Person: gtk-qt-engine i think | 06:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | macogw: good luck on beating the windows mentality out of people... See you tomorrow... | 06:08 |
| sFEARs | Arethius, you need to find drivers specific to you laptop model | 06:08 |
| tussey | Can't find /mnt/foobar in /etc/fstab | 06:08 |
| k1dugar | jack: iptables I read about it and firestarter is GUI for it in simple words | 06:08 |
| linux88 | timi ok did you load the driver already? | 06:08 |
| ZuriJS | i used root / root's pass to login to my swat by http://127.0.0.1:901/ and i just can't login . . . any advice? | 06:08 |
| linux88 | tussey hm | 06:08 |
| timi | Not yet | 06:08 |
| timi | which driver? | 06:08 |
| Arethius | the keyboard configurer recognizes the keys as xfAudio<> keys | 06:08 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: are you there? | 06:08 |
| timi | what would it be called/located? | 06:08 |
| === soli_ is now known as Allnull | ||
| sFEARs | yes mrcabana | 06:08 |
| === madturk is now known as FalandA | ||
| sFEARs | what's up? | 06:08 |
| linux88 | timi ok, so i am assuming that u havent downloaded the drivers yet or have you | 06:08 |
| Arethius | but they don't control audacious or xmms | 06:08 |
| timi | I might have | 06:09 |
| macogw | Some_Person: i used to have that problem since i tried installing kde at one point. removing that (yay google) fixed it | 06:09 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: i cant use metacity --replace from KDE because it will apply it to KDE, not to GNOME | 06:09 |
| macogw | but now im out because my grandma wants to sleep and the computer's in her room | 06:09 |
| macogw | bye | 06:09 |
| linux88 | timi ok google for the 3945 driver for windows | 06:09 |
| timi | linux88: Not sure, really. | 06:09 |
| Some_Person | macogw: thanks, that fixed it | 06:09 |
| velko | tussey, you have to be root in order to be able to mount. and "-t" means "file system type" but you don't specify any | 06:09 |
| linux88 | timi i will help search too | 06:09 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: how can i set it to gnome from a terminal? | 06:09 |
| sFEARs | it should apply it to whatever desktop your currently in | 06:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k1dugar: No no no... firestarter is not iptable gui. It is an IPTABLE manager... it is a gui that helps users set rules. more often than not a novice sets them wrong and is MORE vulnerable | 06:09 |
| xexos | ok | 06:09 |
| linux88 | tussey ya what velko said | 06:09 |
| FalandA | timi cant you connect with 3945 wireless card ? | 06:09 |
| linux88 | ;P | 06:09 |
| sFEARs | you can't apply gui setting to a non-gui system | 06:09 |
| timi | FalandA: Nope. | 06:10 |
| sFEARs | so if you ctrl alt f1 you can't apply metacity.. becasue your trying to apply it to a terminal | 06:10 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: well, i did it from KDE and after messing up with my KDE settings, GNOME remained the same | 06:10 |
| linux88 | Falanda it should work out of the box but it isnt in this case | 06:10 |
| macogw | timi: check the restricted driver manager | 06:10 |
| tussey | how do I find out who I'm logged in as 'whoami' didn't work | 06:10 |
| FalandA | hmm | 06:10 |
| timi | T_T | 06:10 |
| FalandA | ok i see | 06:10 |
| linux88 | there ya go | 06:10 |
| macogw | timi: that card does NOT use ndiswrapper | 06:10 |
| xexos | If I were to put vista on my computer, I would need to boot into the ubuntu live cd and type install-grub in the terminal right? then add vista to the boot config? | 06:10 |
| sFEARs | --replace will replace your current session | 06:10 |
| JJtech | ?? | 06:10 |
| timi | macogw: I know, this is an alternate route. | 06:10 |
| joeb3_ | tussey, who | 06:10 |
| macogw | timi: it has binary firmware and daemon that are in the restricted modules and the restricted driver manager enables them | 06:10 |
| linux88 | macogw those are restraicted huh | 06:10 |
| Ashfire908 | how do i share a printer for windows computers to use | 06:10 |
| velko | tussey, id | 06:10 |
| tussey | I'm root | 06:11 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: yes, but i cant get into gnome | 06:11 |
| macogw | i have that card | 06:11 |
| sFEARs | not sure how to get it to load as default | 06:11 |
| lostblur | hi. i had a fresh install and everything was running fine until i installed firestarter via applications add. immedietalye lost view of NAS on the smb.. however i was abel to access it directly via the IP. i removed firestarter, but this did not undo the damage,. why did this happen and what can i do? | 06:11 |
| sFEARs | alright | 06:11 |
| macogw | it has worked perfectly by default since at least dapper | 06:11 |
| linux88 | macogw but feisty you didnt have to do that | 06:11 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: all i have is KDE to unblock my gnome session | 06:11 |
| ere4si | !grub | xexos | 06:11 |
| ubotu | xexos: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 06:11 |
| sFEARs | log out.. from the logon screen there's a drop down box.. expand session and you should be able to choose from kdm or gnome | 06:11 |
| macogw | linux88: there was no manager for it before :P | 06:11 |
| macogw | linux88: those binaries have always been part of lrm though | 06:11 |
| timi | Well, it isn't workign for me, and hoenstly, I'm so far along that I may as well jsut go the ndis route. | 06:11 |
| linux88 | macogw haha so fixing this could be that simple | 06:11 |
| joeb3_ | lostblur, does 'iptables -L' still show any rules? | 06:11 |
| Ashfire908 | how do i share a printer for windows computers to use | 06:11 |
| velko | tussey, i haven't followed your tale. could you tell me what did you until now? | 06:11 |
| timi | linux88, whatever you say >_< | 06:12 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: i know, i did that to get into KDE, but my problem is GNOME, i did something wrong with it and i cant get metacity back | 06:12 |
| linux88 | timi if that doesnt work lets do the ndis thing | 06:12 |
| timi | Gotcha. | 06:12 |
| timi | and for now? | 06:12 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: it freezes if i log into it | 06:12 |
| macogw | linux88: all i did with my lappy when i got it and had dapper was install networkmanager so that i could use wpa because system > admin > networking doesnt have wpa | 06:12 |
| macogw | anyway, i'm going away like i said | 06:12 |
| macogw | bye | 06:12 |
| linux88 | timi the drivers let me see what i can come up whith brb 1 sec | 06:12 |
| sFEARs | ummm | 06:12 |
| tussey | trying to mount /dev/sda1 | 06:12 |
| tussey | ok so from the top mkdir /mnt/osx ; mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/osx | 06:13 |
| timi | Kay. | 06:13 |
| tussey | Can't find /mnt/osx in /etc/fstab | 06:13 |
| sethk | tussey, sudo mkdir /mnt/osx | 06:13 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: can i get into some file to set it manually? | 06:13 |
| sethk | tussey, presuming that's what you want to use | 06:13 |
| tussey | sudo not found | 06:13 |
| sFEARs | well.. if you "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" from a shell will take you into reconfigure your video card.. from there you can pick a vesa driver at 800x600 or 1024x768 and log back into gnome | 06:13 |
| linux88 | tussey create it somehwere else like /home/'user | 06:13 |
| velko | tussey, what file system contains /dev/sda1? | 06:13 |
| sethk | tussey, but you'll need more arguments to mount, or an entry in fstab anyway | 06:13 |
| lostblur | joe: it shows 4 lines that dont seem to have anything meaningfull.. two lines involving motorola and a bunch of 'anywheres' | 06:13 |
| lostblur | did firestarter mess this file up? | 06:13 |
| Ashfire908 | how do i share a printer | 06:13 |
| sFEARs | but i'm not sure if that's your problem | 06:14 |
| macogw | velko: what fs doesnt? | 06:14 |
| sFEARs | that will proally get you into gnome though | 06:14 |
| sethk | tussey, if sudo is not found, you have much more serious problems than just mounting something | 06:14 |
| macogw | velko: er....what unix one doesnt ;) obviously windows doesnt | 06:14 |
| zoexii | hello! I have a quick question, I am trying to setup key commands for fluxbox, and I need to know the command to launch the "run application dialouge", which is opened in the default gnome by alt + F2 | 06:14 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: it's not, i just need to set metacity to gnome from OUT of gnome (Because i cant get into it) | 06:14 |
| macogw | tussey: soemthing is corrupted | 06:14 |
| tussey | I'm already root, would that matter? | 06:14 |
| macogw | tussey: probably | 06:14 |
| sFEARs | not sure | 06:14 |
| velko | macogw, i don't understand what you mean | 06:14 |
| sFEARs | are you using compiz? | 06:14 |
| joeb3_ | lostblur, iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT ; iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT ; iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT ; iptables -F | 06:14 |
| macogw | tussey: if important normal things are gone, usually corruption though | 06:14 |
| === Allnull is now known as allnull | ||
| joeb3_ | lostblur, that should remove what firestarter added. | 06:14 |
| macogw | velko: /dev/sda1 is the first partition of the first hard drive | 06:15 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: yes, i hit "reflection" that's what messed it all up | 06:15 |
| macogw | velko: any unix system would have it | 06:15 |
| mrcabana | sFEARs: it froze rite away and i just cant get back to it | 06:15 |
| tussey | nothing is corrupted, I just booted off ubuntu live CD and now I'm in a shell | 06:15 |
| sFEARs | check your appearance settings. set them to none instead of advanced from kdm then try logging into gnome | 06:15 |
| macogw | velko: older versions of ubuntu (when they used an older libata) would only use sda for sata and say hda for ide, but currently, sda means both because it's a better implementation | 06:15 |
| tussey | it's the alternative CD so no gui | 06:15 |
| jacob | is there a page where i can see all the channels this server offers? | 06:15 |
| sFEARs | system/prefs/appearance | 06:15 |
| Arethius | jacob: type /list | 06:15 |
| === allnull is now known as Alnull | ||
| mrcabana | sFEARs: ok, gonna try that | 06:16 |
| sFEARs | system/prefs/appearance/visual effects | 06:16 |
| tussey | so how do I add /mnt/osx to fstab, or can I make my mount point anywhere? | 06:16 |
| wastrel | no gui | 06:16 |
| infinitycircui1 | quick question. i just compiled my new 2.6.24-rc3 kernel and want to compile the vmware modules against it. it asks me what is the location of the directory of the c header files that match my kernel, but the default doesn't exist--there is no build directory in /lib/modules/`uname -r`. where are the c header files? | 06:16 |

| velko | macogw, yes. my question was not correct. i wanted to know which filesystem type the partition contains. he called the mount point /mnt/osx, so the file system may be hfs or hpfs (or some standard unix partition) | 06:16 |
| sFEARs | you can make your mount point anywhere | 06:16 |
| linux88 | timi go down to software and drivers http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/pro3945abg/index.htm | 06:16 |
| === pike__ is now known as pike_ | ||
| zoexii | so nobody knows what this program is called? Is there an X program that tells the parent process of a selected window? I could find out that way. | 06:17 |
| timi | K | 06:17 |
| sFEARs | you just have to add it to fstab so it mounts automatically | 06:17 |
| === KI4IKL|Lappy is now known as KI4IKL | ||
| timi | download the one for winXPpro? | 06:17 |
| sFEARs | zoexii, xterm? | 06:17 |
| tussey | oh I think this worked, mkdir /usr/osx ; mount /dev/sda1 /usr/osx | 06:17 |
| infinitycircui1 | to be more precise it gives me an error code of 2 as it exits | 06:17 |
| sFEARs | open a terminal window.. xterm.. then click on the window you want info on | 06:17 |
| zoexii | sFEARs, no, the run application dialouge, | 06:17 |
| linux88 | timi ya try that one, im still tryin to see what one exactly | 06:17 |
| sFEARs | yeah.. xterm | 06:17 |
| timi | Actually | 06:17 |
| timi | I think I have em both | 06:18 |
| tussey | well the command mount didn't report any errors but /usr/osx is empty | 06:18 |
| wastrel | zoexii: ps --forest | 06:18 |
| linux88 | timi have both what | 06:18 |
| timi | I do. | 06:18 |
| sFEARs | wait.. crap, that's not it | 06:18 |
| timi | I have the winxp pro vers and the linux version | 06:18 |
| timi | I don't know what to do with them though. | 06:18 |
| velko | tussey, you can see the mounted partitions typing only "mount" | 06:18 |
| pike_ | zoexii: fbrun perhaps | 06:18 |
| sFEARs | i did it yesterday.. crap, i can't remember | 06:18 |
| pike_ | zoexii: well thats not the gnome one maybe but it works | 06:18 |
| ZuriJS | i used root / root's pass to login to my swat by http://127.0.0.1:901/ and i just can't login . . . any advice? | 06:18 |
| ere4si | tussey try mount -v /dev/sda1 /usr/osx | 06:19 |
| wastrel | zoexii: xwininfo also | 06:19 |
| linux88 | well try sudo ndisgtk and locate the one for windows, and install the .inf file | 06:19 |
| zoexii | wastrel, pike_, yeah, | 06:19 |
| lostblur | thanks joe. that fixed it.. why did firestarter do this? is it a bug in design or did i miss something in the installation? | 06:19 |
| zoexii | it does work | 06:19 |
| zoexii | thanks! | 06:19 |
| timi | sudo or the other one? | 06:20 |
| timi | linux88? | 06:20 |
| linux88 | sudo | 06:20 |
| tussey | failed: device or resource busy :( | 06:20 |
| Centaur5 | What entries do I need on the clients when creating a domain.bogus dns server for local addresses only? Do they need resolv.conf to have the IP of the local dns server? | 06:20 |
| linux88 | timi the whole command : sudo ndisgtk | 06:20 |
| timi | kay | 06:21 |
| timi | works | 06:21 |
| tussey | ere4si: any idea why that happened? | 06:21 |
| pike_ | Centaur5: yes | 06:21 |
| sir_ | Hey there | 06:21 |
| timi | SHould I load a sys? inf? | 06:21 |
| linux88 | timi k now where do u have the drivers? | 06:22 |
| Centaur5 | pike_: Do they need any in any of the /etc/host files? | 06:22 |
| timi | on my desktop, actually. | 06:22 |
| ere4si | tussey; can onlt guess from here :) - are you trying to rescue data from a dead disk? | 06:22 |
| Arethius | anyone have any idea how to get my media keys to control audacious or xmms? PM me please | 06:22 |
| ere4si | *only | 06:22 |
| sFEARs | timi.. load .inf in ndiswrapper | 06:22 |
| bruenig | Arethius, do audacious --help to see the command synopsis, and see which commands do what, then use xbindkeys or some other app to bind your multimedia keys to those respective commands | 06:22 |
| pike_ | Centaur5: no if i understand you correctly you just want em to use the local dns server so just resolv.conf for the clients | 06:22 |
| sFEARs | if that's what your asking | 06:23 |
| linux88 | timi ya locate and install the .inf file | 06:23 |
| tussey | not rescue so much but rather edit a file. My macbook gets stuck in a loop trying to boot. I need to get into the file system and edit a boot file so it skips the step causing problems. Problem is I need to mount it to edit it | 06:23 |
| Ashfire908 | how do i install samba support for cups | 06:23 |
| timi | sFears, linux88: okay then, NETw4k32.inf, NETw4x32.INF, or w29n51.inf? | 06:23 |
| linux88 | lol | 06:24 |
| Centaur5 | pike_: Yes, I just want to be able to ping a machine name instead of IP and also allow an address to be typed in for local web apps instead of IP addresses. ns1.domain.bogus for example. | 06:24 |
| linux88 | timi try one at a time | 06:24 |
| sFEARs | one at a time | 06:24 |
| linux88 | ;P | 06:24 |
| sFEARs | d;) | 06:24 |
| ere4si | tussey: don't know macs but it shouldn't be busy if you're on the live cd ... | 06:24 |
| linux88 | im stoked, got WoW to work in Wine :) | 06:24 |
| timi | module already containts alias directive | 06:24 |
| linux88 | timi for all? | 06:25 |
| tussey | so the basic steps for mounting a device or make a mount point (any folder) and mount /dev/sda$ /foo/bar | 06:25 |
| timi | OH MY GOD | 06:25 |
| timi | HARDWARE PRESENT: YES | 06:25 |
| linux88 | timi? haha | 06:25 |
| timi | Could it be?! | 06:25 |
| linux88 | timi WAIT!!!!! | 06:25 |
| linux88 | timi just wait | 06:25 |
| linux88 | timi dont get happy yet | 06:25 |
| timi | okay :< | 06:25 |

| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 06:26 |
| linux88 | timi you might have to reboot, i did and THEN it worked, so if it works tho now | 06:26 |
| ere4si | tussey: I would use mount -v - the v is for verbose - tells you whats happening | 06:26 |
| linux88 | timi see* if it does | 06:26 |
| timi | doesnt work now | 06:26 |
| timi | rebooting. | 06:26 |
| Ildjarn | When I go into the firefox preferences, the window is smaller than it should be... If I resize it, its small again the next time I go to preferences. How do I make the change permanent? I have the same problem with thunderbird too. | 06:26 |
| linux88 | timi k come back and let me know | 06:26 |
| timi | Eh? | 06:27 |
| timi | no | 06:27 |

| joeb3_ | linux88, did he blacklist the original drivers? | 06:27 |
| timi | sorry ere4si. | 06:27 |
| ere4si | k | 06:28 |
| sFEARs | Ildjarn, you could try deleting the config file mabey it's a preference that got set in there | 06:28 |
| linux88 | joeb3_ i didnt have him do that, but would he have to? | 06:28 |
| sFEARs | i'm not sure where the config file is.. but it's there somewhere | 06:28 |
| tussey | ere4si: ok I restarted the shell mount -v /dev/sda1 /usr/foo worked | 06:28 |
| wastrel | whee | 06:28 |
| tussey | except the directory is empty | 06:28 |
| joeb3_ | linux88, mine kept crashing until i added the driver to the blacklist. | 06:28 |
| tussey | is it because /sda1 is HFS+ file system? | 06:28 |
| Ildjarn | sFEARs: How do I find that file? | 06:29 |
| sFEARs | mabey "mount dev/sda1 hfs /usr/foo"?? | 06:29 |
| pipelineaudio_ | is there anything in ubuntu that tells you your connection status or wireless strength? | 06:29 |
| sFEARs | google linux firefox config file | 06:29 |
| linux88 | joeb3_ do u know where the dirvers are? i used to have 3945 but cant locate them now im using somehting else | 06:29 |
| ere4si | tussey: maybe someone here knows if ubuntu reads mac filesystems, I don't - overpriced crap they are | 06:29 |
| sFEARs | pipelineaudio_, iwconfig ifconfig | 06:29 |
| pipelineaudio_ | in terminal? | 06:29 |
| sFEARs | sudo iwconfig or sudo ifconfig | 06:29 |
| sFEARs | yeah | 06:29 |
| joeb3_ | linux88, ndiswrapper -l will show the alternate driver. | 06:30 |
| joeb3_ | linux88, that's the one you need to blacklist | 06:30 |
| tussey | hehe their laptops are nice and I like osx | 06:30 |
| Ildjarn | pipelineaudio_: The WICD applet shows the strength in the system tray | 06:30 |
| ere4si | tussey: maybe not so mych at the moment :) | 06:30 |
| velko | tussey, are you sure you mounted the right partition? maybe you have mounted some "rescue" or whatever partition? | 06:30 |
| linux88 | joeb3_ ok ill have him do that, oh and i how do you blacklist. i jsut deleted before :P | 06:30 |
| pipelineaudio_ | cool! | 06:30 |
| ere4si | *much | 06:30 |
| pipelineaudio_ | thanks | 06:30 |
| pipelineaudio_ | so Im not sure if it liked my password or not on my router, but I dont see how to tell | 06:31 |
| tussey | how can I check? fdisk p right? | 06:31 |
| pipelineaudio_ | in windows if its wrong it says "invalid password | 06:31 |
| pipelineaudio_ | " | 06:31 |
| velko | tussey, sfdisk -l | 06:31 |
| ere4si | fdisk -l | 06:31 |
| joeb3_ | linux88, add driver name to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 06:31 |
| tussey | fdisk /dev/sda ; p | 06:31 |
| joeb3_ | linux88, then reboot | 06:31 |
| tussey | reveals /dev/sda1 as the HD I want | 06:31 |
| tussey | 250GB | 06:31 |
| linux88 | joeb3_ k thanks | 06:31 |
| sFEARs | holy gigabytes batman | 06:31 |
| velko | tussey, ok. no idea than... | 06:32 |
| ere4si | tussey: but what partition on it? | 06:32 |
| tussey | it lists the File System as EFI GPT | 06:32 |
| sFEARs | try mounting with the filesystem tag.. man mount and figure out the syntax | 06:32 |
| Ildjarn | pipelineaudio_: In firefox if you type the wrong password, it'll just prompt for the password again. | 06:32 |
| pipelineaudio_ | Imean in wireless settings on connecting to my router's network | 06:32 |
| linux88 | timi? | 06:32 |

| sFEARs | well knetwork manager does that.. but you might not be using kde | 06:33 |
| ivx | hey i just mounted my nfs but how do i unmount it? shouldn't it be the same thing but umount? | 06:33 |
| sFEARs | i don't know what the gnome version is | 06:33 |
| Ryan_was_here | 2.2 or something like that | 06:33 |
| Ryan_was_here | i believe | 06:33 |
| sFEARs | yeah.. but you need to umount the folder you mounted it to.. not umount the /dev/hda | 06:33 |
| Ryan_was_here | is the latest gnome release | 06:34 |
| kryptik | anyone know akriel? | 06:34 |
| kryptik | or nose | 06:34 |
| kryptik | or runix | 06:34 |
| sFEARs | anyone know my drugdealer? | 06:35 |
| pipelineaudio_ | man this thing just hates me | 06:35 |
| kryptik | lol | 06:35 |
| pipelineaudio_ | it says the drivers in there and fine, last few installs it worked fine | 06:35 |
| ivx | sFEARs i did sudo mount 192.168.1.102:/fileserver /home/ben/Desktop to mount, how do i write that to umount? | 06:35 |
| kryptik | just wondering.. old friend trying to find him | 06:35 |
| pipelineaudio_ | this time its being wonky | 06:35 |
| pipelineaudio_ | I cant tell if it liked the password in setup but it looks like its telling me its connected | 06:35 |
| joeb3_ | ivx, sudo umount /home/ben/Desktop | 06:35 |
| sFEARs | sudo umount /fileserver/home/ben/Desktop... but i'm not sure what the /fileserver folder is | 06:36 |
| ivx | joeb3_ that returns umount: /home/ben/Desktop: not mounted | 06:36 |
| sFEARs | you mounted /fileserver to your desktop? | 06:36 |
| sFEARs | or you mounted IP to /fileserver/.../Desktop? | 06:37 |
| ivx | sFEARs yes | 06:37 |
| pipelineaudio_ | aha! if you type in the wrong password it still looks the same | 06:37 |
| timi | Linux88 | 06:38 |
| timi | no good. | 06:38 |
| pipelineaudio_ | anyway to turnm off tinfoil hat paranoid mode as I type in the password and let it show me the characters? | 06:38 |
| sFEARs | umount /home/ben/Desktop/fileserver | 06:38 |
| Trae | hey gang, I have Ubuntu 7.10 and I'd like to try KDE desktop out. What's the best way to do this (I don't want to nuke and have to start over with Kubuntu) | 06:38 |
| linux88 | timi no good? | 06:38 |
| sFEARs | Trae sudo apt-get install kde-desktop | 06:38 |
| sFEARs | i think | 06:38 |
| timi | linux88 not at all. | 06:39 |
| Trae | !kubuntu | 06:39 |
| ubotu | Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 06:39 |
| linux88 | timi in a terminal type ndiswrapper -l | 06:39 |
| velko | pipelineaudio_, no | 06:39 |
| qball680 | Hi there, is there a way in Gaim to disable the messages for people joining and leaving?? | 06:39 |
| sFEARs | then you can choose to log into gnome or kde | 06:39 |

| Trae | hm | 06:39 |
| Trae | !KDE | 06:39 |
| ubotu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

| linux88 | timi what does it say | 06:39 |
| pipelineaudio_ | that was it! I had the wrong password in | 06:39 |
| Trae | sFEARs, there we go ;) | 06:39 |
| sFEARs | cool | 06:40 |
| timi | netw4x32: driver installed devince (8086:4222) present (alt. driver: ipw3945) | 06:40 |
| sFEARs | you have to mount a drive to a folder.. then you have to unmount the folder.. it's easier to understand how it works | 06:40 |
| sethk | sFEARs, understand how it works? What a bizarre idea :) | 06:41 |
| linux88 | timi do u get a wireless interface under network manager | 06:41 |
| sFEARs | i have no idea what your talking about sethk | 06:41 |
| sFEARs | d;) | 06:41 |
| linux88 | hey joeb3_ | 06:41 |
| timi | linux88: Nope :( | 06:41 |
| joeb3_ | linux88, yep.... | 06:42 |
| sethk | sFEARs, you said "it's easier to understand how it works." I was commenting on the common lack of desire to know how something works. | 06:42 |
| linux88 | timi i think thats the wrong driver still | 06:42 |
| timi | I agree. | 06:42 |
| CapaH | Can anyone help me to get my wireless working? I can see the wireless networks, I can see all the signal strengths etc etc --- but I cannot connect to ANY of them | 06:42 |
| timi | linux88: look here: http://www.kraus.tk/installnotes/T60/ThinkPad-T60.htm and scroll down to Wireless Lan | 06:42 |
| linux88 | joeb3_ he got netw4x32: driver installed devince (8086:4222) present (alt. driver: ipw3945), but is netw4x32 the right driver for that? | 06:42 |
| timi | I think that might give us an over view of where to go. | 06:42 |
| linux88 | timi k | 06:42 |
| tatterdemalian | Anyone around willing to help me with an avahi / Ubuntu issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=614965 | 06:43 |
| sFEARs | are you sure they're open access wireless networks CapaH? | 06:43 |
| CapaH | When you right click network manager and click "connect" normally first you get one light, then you get the 2nd light, then you are connected --- I never even get to the 'one light' | 06:43 |
| joeb3_ | linux88, let me check | 06:43 |
| sFEARs | sometimes they require wep keys & passwords | 06:43 |
| CapaH | sFEARs: Yes because its my own open network :) My laptop right next to me is connected fine | 06:43 |

| mizz | hi i have a dual boot system with xp and gutsy, I want to reinstall windows without having to reinstall gutsy, i know gutsy will overwrite the mbr is there an easy way to fix it after installing xp? | 06:44 |
| sethk | CapaH, did you check the AP logs? Most have logs you can look at, and you might get an idea of why the connection fails. | 06:44 |
| CapaH | sethk: Where are they | 06:44 |
| sethk | CapaH, I've used linksys and netgear APs. You connect to them with a browser, typically at 192.168.0.1, and it shows you various options | 06:45 |
| CapaH | ahhh right the router itself you mean | 06:45 |
| sFEARs | yeah mizz.. edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.. but make sure you have an extra partition to install windows onto, windows doesn't give you the option to reconfigure the partition tables when you reinstall | 06:45 |
| CapaH | it is a linksys | 06:45 |
| qball680 | Hi, is there any way for me to disable the room entrances and exits in an IRC channel? | 06:45 |
| sethk | CapaH, right. Might be a clue there. | 06:45 |
| qball680 | using gaim | 06:45 |
| qball680 | or should I be using a different IRC client if I want to disable/filter those notifications? | 06:46 |

| CapaH | sethk: Nope nothing here of value that I can see -- just source ip, destination port # --- nothing more useful | 06:46 |
| pipelineaudio_ | any way to autologin? | 06:46 |
| pipelineaudio_ | when you start ubuntu I mean? | 06:47 |
| ere4si | !grub | mizz | 06:47 |
| ubotu | mizz: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 06:47 |
| JJtech | anyone here use limewire??? | 06:47 |
| mizz | bleh | 06:47 |
| pipelineaudio_ | you dual booting with grub mizz? | 06:47 |
| sFEARs | i thought that's what made linux so nice.. was that you could configure anything.. they never say how hard it is to rewrite & recompile the program | 06:47 |
| JJtech | after i install limewire, the windows go blank.. | 06:47 |
| ere4si | mizz: right click the link and choose "open in browser | 06:47 |
| sFEARs | damn salespeople | 06:47 |
| mizz | yes pipelineaudio_ but my xp is screwy so i wanna reinstall that | 06:47 |
| linux88 | timi out of the three driver u had, well the 3 .inf files u had, did only one work? | 06:47 |
| sethk | sFEARs, most programs are quite easy to recompile. | 06:48 |
| sFEARs | limewire.. your on irc.. why would you use limewire | 06:48 |
| mizz | ere4si, yeah. ok. thanks i know how to open a link | 06:48 |
| pipelineaudio_ | I thought what made linux so nice was that everyone reinvented the wheel fifty times a day so you always got a fresh view of a half finished project :) | 06:48 |
| timi | Yeah, but it didn't really actually work, linux88 | 06:48 |
| mynameisbob | hi there. can anyone help me with my networking problem. got a ethernet connection but can't connect to the net | 06:48 |
| pipelineaudio_ | Im on a quad boot mizz | 06:48 |
| pipelineaudio_ | but its a PITA | 06:48 |
| pipelineaudio_ | xp/vista/osx/ubuntu | 06:48 |
| linux88 | timi well i mean it said hardware present | 06:48 |
| Templer | hi there need to install an icon theme in xfce cannot paste to /usr/share/icons | 06:48 |
| JJtech | sFEARs: i don't know how to download mp3 on IRC | 06:48 |
| sethk | pipelineaudio_, hey, 90% finished. Remember 50% of the time is spent on the first 90% of the project, and 50% of the time is spent on the last 10% of the project | 06:48 |
| timi | Linux88: Then, yes | 06:48 |
| sFEARs | you should learn | 06:48 |
| pipelineaudio_ | heh | 06:49 |
| JJtech | sFEARs: will you teach me how to? | 06:49 |
| mizz | oh yeah, pipelineaudio_ nice, i imagine it would be a pita tho, if i had my way i'd delete xp altooghter | 06:49 |
| pipelineaudio_ | now that we got wineasio in ubuntu, its getting pretty viable for me | 06:49 |
| sFEARs | type /list | 06:49 |
| CapaH | When I ifconfig or iwconfig I can see that the hardware appears to be working, but when I do dhclient eth1 all I get is a lot of DCHPDISCOVER | 06:49 |
| linux88 | timi ok, well im stuck becuz im not familiar with ndiswrapper that much | 06:49 |
| sethk | CapaH, try a static IP | 06:49 |
| timi | Kay. | 06:49 |
| timi | sigh | 06:49 |
| linux88 | timi but | 06:49 |
| timi | who was that guy who had the card? >_< | 06:49 |
| timi | yeah? | 06:49 |
| CapaH | sethk: Hmm, that might work --- how ? | 06:49 |
| joeb3_ | linux88, # | 06:49 |
| joeb3_ | pciid: 8086:4222 | 06:49 |
| joeb3_ | # | 06:49 |
| joeb3_ | Driver: version 10.1.0.13 http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/cs-010623.htm (w39n51.inf, unfortunatly the download is 80MB because it’s packaged with “Intel PROset/Wireless software”, and drivers for the 2200BG and 2915ABG). | 06:49 |
| linux88 | timi we can try to use the drivers for linux, which should work | 06:49 |
| cool | pipelineaudio_, change the setting in login manager, System>administration >login window>security | 06:49 |
| JJtech | sFEARs: i typed /list.. then what?? | 06:50 |
| timi | linux88, let's give it a shot. | 06:50 |
| sethk | CapaH, argument to iwconfig, similar to the way it's done with ifconfig | 06:50 |
| pipelineaudio_ | thanks cool :) | 06:50 |
| sFEARs | well that's a command you will need when you start jumping around to different servers | 06:50 |
| sethk | CapaH, I almost said ipconfig, and branded myself for life :) | 06:50 |
| linux88 | joeb3_ even if the other driver wasnt blacklisted, should he se some kind of interface? | 06:50 |
| timi | linux88: I have them prepped and ready to go, I just don't know how to use them | 06:50 |
| linux88 | timi k | 06:50 |
| sFEARs | irc.freenode.net is proally not the best file serving irc network | 06:50 |
| joeb3_ | linux88, make sure he loaded ndiswrapper. 'modprobe ndiswrapper' | 06:50 |
| Templer | hi there need to install an icon theme in xfce cannot paste to /usr/share/icons is there as sudo nautilus equivalent for xfce??? | 06:50 |
| tatterdemalian | I do the same thing, typed ipconfig one to many times in a DOS window | 06:50 |
| Lotacus | hey guys, does anyone or is there any fix for the error recieved when trying to mount usb drive: mount: /dev/sdc1; can't read superblock | 06:51 |
| sFEARs | but jump around to different servers for a while and use that /list command | 06:51 |
| linux88 | timi its basically putting them in the right folders and loading them, but im not exactlyt sure how to do it but i have down it before | 06:51 |
| sFEARs | that should get you started | 06:51 |
| CapaH | sethk: man iwconfig not too helpful, do ya know the syntax | 06:51 |
| timi | Ah. | 06:51 |
| linux88 | joeb3_ GOD TY, forgot about that | 06:51 |
| sethk | CapaH, not off hand, but let me look at it a bit | 06:51 |
| linux88 | timi do this in a terminal, modprobe ndiswrapper | 06:51 |
| Templer | anyone plz | 06:51 |
| JJtech | sFEARs: what server wud you recommend? | 06:51 |
| sFEARs | p2pchat.net | 06:52 |
| timi | sudo modprobe? | 06:52 |
| timi | or just modprobe? | 06:52 |
| sFEARs | enter at your own risk | 06:52 |
| sFEARs | butsaferthanlimewire! | 06:52 |
| linux88 | um just modprobe | 06:52 |
| zaatar | is it possible to upgrade straight from 6.06 to the latest version? | 06:52 |
| zaatar | w/o screwing up any of the settings/files | 06:52 |
| ere4si | Templer: thunar is the file browser | 06:52 |
| timi | Fatal Error inserting ndiswapper | 06:52 |
| mynameisbob | hi there. can anyone help me with my networking problem. got a ethernet connection but can't connect to the net. i can ping nic, local ip and gateway. | 06:52 |
| Templer | cheers | 06:53 |
| JJtech | sFEARs: why "own risk" ??? if i join there channel what cud they possibly do? | 06:53 |
| joeb3_ | timi, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper | 06:53 |
| pike_ | zaatar: that would result in badness | 06:53 |
| timi | joeb3_ nothing happens. | 06:53 |
| sethk | mynameisbob, you probably need to set the default route | 06:53 |
| zaatar | pike_, meh | 06:53 |
| zaatar | well the only thing i need really | 06:54 |
| joeb3_ | timi, now type 'iwconfig' | 06:54 |
| zaatar | is that i plugged in a 22" monitor | 06:54 |
| joeb3_ | timi, anything shown? | 06:54 |
| mediahunter | does anyone here know how to make it so i can see the 3d cube and rotate it | 06:54 |
| zaatar | and the higest resolution is 1024x768 | 06:54 |
| mynameisbob | sethk: how do i do that? | 06:54 |
| tatterdemalian | Does anyone here even use the Ubuntu desktop? | 06:54 |
| zaatar | i want it to go to 1680x1050 | 06:54 |
| timi | Yes | 06:54 |
| timi | lo No wireless extentions. eth0 no wireless extentions. | 06:54 |
| sethk | mynameisbob, sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 (obviously, replace 192.168.0.1 with the actual address of the gateway) | 06:55 |
| BradG | first off, i'm a total linux noob, i'm trying to get ubuntu 7.10 on my second box. live cd boots fine and install goes offwithout a hitch. if i install to my near death IDE drive it works fine, but if i install it to my new SATA drives, either of them, it doesn't boot to the desktop after install. it gives me the ubuntu loading screen, but after ~5 minutes it drops me out to 'busy box v1.1.3' and gives me a prompt with (initramfs) and i can't | 06:55 |
| sethk | mynameisbob, first run route with no arguments to see if the default route is already set | 06:55 |
| sethk | mynameisbob, and, if so, what it points to. | 06:55 |
| tatterdemalian | timi: Try "ifconfig -a" | 06:55 |
| pike_ | zaatar: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf find the depth 24 line at bottom of file and add "1680x1050" before "1024x768" save and exit and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart may work. if not do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg at command line | 06:55 |
| sFEARs | sudo ifconfig | 06:55 |
| sFEARs | -a | 06:55 |
| pike_ | zaatar: or /msg ubotu fixres | 06:56 |
| timi | that gives me a large result | 06:56 |
| timi | should I use pastebin? | 06:56 |
| sFEARs | well don't paste it in here | 06:56 |
| tatterdemalian | timi: Yah, pastebin | 06:56 |
| linux88 | !pastebin | 06:56 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 06:56 |
| timi | Okay | 06:57 |
| timi | my laptop | 06:57 |
| timi | just | 06:57 |
| timi | restarted | 06:57 |
| timi | and I DONT KNOW WHY. | 06:57 |
| linux88 | lol | 06:57 |
| timi | Sorry, I'm using more than one line again. | 06:57 |
| linux88 | timi is it on a bed?/ | 06:57 |
| tatterdemalian | timi: What kind of laptop is it again? | 06:57 |
| mynameisbob | sethk: for default line gateway is 192.168.1.1 and genmask is 0.0.0.0 | 06:57 |
| timi | Nope, and it's a fujitsu simmons S7110 | 06:57 |
| linux88 | timi overheating can easily shut it down unexpectedly | 06:58 |
| timi | it's actually in the sink. | 06:58 |
| timi | it isn't that warm. | 06:58 |
| linux88 | timi k | 06:58 |
| zaatar | i installed ubuntu-desktop over an alternative installation, but when i restart X it goes into command line | 06:58 |
| sethk | mynameisbob, if 192.168.1.1 is the correct address of the gateway, then the route is correct. The default route is always 0.0.0.0 | 06:58 |
| zaatar | how do i go back into graphical mode? | 06:58 |
| tatterdemalian | A heat sink... heh | 06:58 |
| pike_ | zaatar: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:59 |
| pike_ | zaatar: what video card? intel? nvidia? | 06:59 |
| zaatar | ati radeon 9200 128mb | 06:59 |
| tatterdemalian | timi: Do you remember seeing a "wlan0" anywhere in the "ifconfig -a" result? | 06:59 |
| mynameisbob | sethk: 192.168.1.1 is in fact the address of the gateway. does that mean that something else is wrong? | 07:00 |
| timi | I can't remember it at all | 07:00 |
| pike_ | zaatar: erm i believe that card is well supported by open source ati driver so youd just choose that during the reconfigure | 07:00 |
| sethk | mynameisbob, if the route is already there, then adding it won't change anything. I'm assuming it's the only 0.0.0.0 route | 07:00 |
| CapaH | I am using a Belkin USB adapater, ndiswrapper -l shows this: blkwgu : driver installed device (050D:705C) present (alternate driver: zd1211rw) --- but it appears that it is not using the ndiswrapper version, but the default driver ---- how can I change that? | 07:00 |
| CapaH | (trying to see if I cannot figure this out with ndiswrapper) | 07:01 |
| sethk | mynameisbob, try doing traceroute www.google.com I don't think you need sudo with traceroute, but you may. | 07:01 |
| pike_ | zaatar: after that you can test by typing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart that will attempt to startx if it fails youll be back at command line | 07:01 |
| timi | Okay, so what commands do I have to put in again? | 07:01 |
| timi | just the sudo ifconfig -a? | 07:01 |
| linux88 | timi you might want to check this out http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/11/02/how-to-install-intel-pro-ipw3945-wireless-drivers/ | 07:01 |
| tatterdemalian | timi: Yah | 07:01 |
| timi | will do, linux88 | 07:01 |
| joeb3_ | CapaH, blacklist the zd1211rw driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 07:01 |
| CapaH | joeb3: then just reboot? | 07:02 |
| zaatar | gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf find the depth 24 line at bottom of file and add "1680x1050" before "1024x768" save and exit and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart may work. if not do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg at command line | 07:02 |
| Hammsand | anyone here using Konversation ?? | 07:02 |
| joeb3_ | CapaH, yes and make sure you modprobe ndiswrapper when you reboot | 07:02 |
| CapaH | ok doing now | 07:02 |
| oneeyedelf1 | how do I install libdvdcss? | 07:02 |
| linux88 | timi in the terminal type this in real quick modprobe ipw3945 | 07:03 |
| joeb3_ | oneeyedelf1, install libdvdread3 | 07:04 |
| buttercups | oneeyedelf1, sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh | 07:04 |
| timi | linux88, whoever else | 07:04 |
| joeb3_ | oneeyedelf1, then run '/usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh' | 07:04 |
| linux88 | timi huh? | 07:04 |
| Hammsand | yay i'm successfully playing wow on Gutsy wooot | 07:04 |
| plamo | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45665/ | 07:04 |
| timi | there it is | 07:04 |
| linux88 | hammsand nice i also jsut did that | 07:04 |
| linux88 | hammsand does it glitch at all a little? | 07:04 |
| Hammsand | linux88 only thing i've noticed is my mouse movement is a little weird but no biggie | 07:05 |
| olysoft | could someone direct me to some info on what packages are needed to enable email from a mediawiki install? I just set up Ubuntu7.10 server LAMP with MediaWiki. | 07:05 |
| tatterdemalian | Huh, no wlan0 listed at all... might have to modprobe ndiswrapper again, but I'd go with linux88's suggestions first | 07:06 |
| linux88 | hammsand hmm nice ya mine is a little glitchy, stillprobbaly gota play around with winecfg a bit | 07:06 |
| timi | modprobe ipw3945 doesnt do anything | 07:06 |
| linux88 | timi ok | 07:06 |
| Hammsand | linux88 =D horde ftw | 07:06 |
| linux88 | hammsand YES,lol | 07:06 |
| tatterdemalian | Can anyone check and see if they have avahi-daemon listed as a dependency for ubuntu-desktop? | 07:07 |
| zaatar | pike_, you're wonderful | 07:07 |
| zaatar | how do you pull that stuff from your butt? | 07:07 |
| zaatar | lol | 07:07 |
| pike_ | zaatar: glad it worked :-) | 07:07 |
| tatterdemalian | Maybe I managed to screw up the install, and that's why my wireless keeps going out. | 07:08 |
| Hammsand | i think i'm going to buy one of those Dell laptops that comes with Ubuntu pre install | 07:08 |
| teKnofreak | when booting during the splash screen, how do i get the messages to be displayed ? | 07:08 |
| Hammsand | so i can pwn my classmates | 07:08 |
| linux88 | timi i wana see where your drivers are located so do this : sudo find / -name ipw3945* | 07:08 |
| travis | is hellgate london compatible on linux? | 07:08 |
| sethk | Hammsand, if it works with the hardware, installing it yourself is trivial. Now, it is true that preinstalled makes you confident that it will work ... | 07:08 |
| zaatar | pike_, well it worked, but now the panels don't show | 07:08 |
| sethk | Hammsand, but many laptops are known to work out of the box with ubuntu. | 07:08 |
| zaatar | there was a notification and it showed | 07:09 |
| joeb3_ | teKnofreak, press escape | 07:09 |
| zaatar | so i'm thinking the panels are out of reach | 07:09 |
| tatterdemalian | sethk: MINE DOES NOT | 07:09 |
| ZuriJS | I'm have swat running in my FC7 and when i access my http://localhost:901/ it asks for username and password, and when i fill in root and root password, it says invalid login, i am root, i know my password exactly | 07:09 |
| sethk | tatterdemalian, that happens too, I know. | 07:09 |
| zaatar | oh oh | 07:09 |
| sethk | tatterdemalian, I've had great results with various thinkpad models | 07:09 |
| zaatar | if i move the mouse to the edges the screen scrolls | 07:09 |
| Hammsand | sethk are you hating on Dell? rofl | 07:09 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| xTheGoat121x | In Ubuntu, it seems like my CPU temperature fluctuates alot more than it does in XP... so my fan is constantly turning on and off. | 07:09 |
| zaatar | pike_, got it | 07:09 |
| zaatar | thanks a lot buddy | 07:09 |
| plamo | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45666/ | 07:10 |
| timi | wait | 07:10 |
| timi | linux left? | 07:10 |
| tatterdemalian | Too bad I can't get Thinkpad here, the legislature in my hometown is all freaked out about taxing internet commerce | 07:10 |
| sethk | Hammsand, I'm not fond of dell; they use cheap parts and the laptop LCDs tend to do odd things after a few months. Their batteries last about six weeks and then they charge you a _lot_ for a new battery.. Other than that, they are fine. :) | 07:10 |
| Hammsand | sethk well who would you reccomend as a manufacturer that is >1k | 07:11 |
| xTheGoat121x | Is there a way to fix that? | 07:11 |
| pike_ | zaatar: that may not be ideal for you i cant remember howto turn that on/off | 07:12 |
| sethk | Hammsand, I've had good results with thinkpad, with fujitsu. Obviously I haven't tried every laptop, or even most laptops. | 07:12 |
| zaatar | pike_, i just had it at too big a'resolution | 07:12 |
| mynameisbob | sethk: i tried running traceroute www.google.com but i get told traceroute wasn't found | 07:12 |
| sethk | zaatar, if the screen scrolls, the virtual resolution is higher than the physical resolution. Make them both the same and it won't scroll. | 07:12 |
| ere4si | laptops can blow up - should call them notebooks :) | 07:12 |
| zaatar | :) | 07:13 |
| sethk | mynameisbob, I'm not sure what package it is part of. Also it might have a slightly different name related to ipv4 vs. ipv6. My unbuntu is not the latest rev, so I can't check it, but I'm sure other people here know. | 07:13 |
| bruenig | there is a traceroute6 | 07:14 |
| mynameisbob | sethk: it's apparently part of traceroute-nanog package which i can't install without internet connection.right? | 07:14 |
| tatterdemalian | It's really annoying how the default size of every window in Ubuntu is apparently just a tiny bit larger than the screen size. | 07:14 |
| tussey | ugh, I'm new to Vi, I'm just trying to quit | 07:15 |
| joeb3_ | tussey: ":wq" | 07:15 |
| ere4si | tussey: quit what? | 07:15 |
| tussey | ESC :q says "No write since last change" | 07:16 |
| tussey | joeb3_: I don't want to save | 07:16 |
| tussey | :!q doesn't quit either | 07:16 |
| qball681 | A ha! was able to stop the extra join/part messages | 07:16 |
| joeb3_ | tussey: ":q!" | 07:16 |
| timi | New problem: I cant open the terminal, it opens and then it closes again. | 07:16 |
| tussey | ah ha | 07:16 |
| tussey | ty | 07:16 |
| sethk | mynameisbob, that is a bit of a catch-22, isn't it? :) | 07:17 |
| ere4si | timi: reboot is the easy solution for that | 07:17 |
| timi | kk | 07:17 |
| meezfoghi | how remount my drive...my drive not mount properly... | 07:17 |
| meezfoghi | please help me | 07:17 |
| meezfoghi | how remount my drive...my drive not mount properly... | 07:17 |
| ere4si | meezfoghi: was it mounted before? | 07:18 |
| mynameisbob | sethk: yep sure it is. i do have the install cd. is there a way to install from there? | 07:18 |
| meezfoghi | yes | 07:18 |
| ere4si | meezfoghi: do you know the address it was mounted to? | 07:19 |
| meezfoghi | ere4si: yes | 07:19 |
| timi | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/11/02/how-to-install-intel-pro-ipw3945-wireless-drivers/ | 07:20 |
| ere4si | meezfoghi: what is the command you're trying - or did it not mount at boot time | 07:20 |
| meezfoghi | not mount at boot time.. | 07:20 |
| tussey | ok I'm trying to type a # in vi shift-3 keeps moving my cursor | 07:21 |
| empty | hi all.. i need help in changing large number of file owner ship how do i do so..?? | 07:21 |
| ere4si | meezfoghi: open the file /etc/fstab and see if the partition is listed there please :) | 07:22 |
| bullgard4 | "detlef@Amilo7600:~$ gnomevfs-ls smb://md97600/freigegeben; config (Regular, application/octet-stream) size 11853 mode 0644". But when I try to insert the file 'copy' in another directory (to copy it) Nautilus reports: "Error when copying. »smb://md...ben/config« could not be moved because you do not have the necessary access rights to read the object." But the rights are 0644! Can you explain this contradiction? | 07:22 |

| Ziroda1 | Hi all, am experiencing tearing with video playback using a Nvidia FX5500 and nvidia binary drivers. Occurs with compiz and metacity | 07:51 |
| CIS1987 | It's full of mp3 and pics and stuff | 07:52 |
| CIS1987 | but mp3's work on my machine now | 07:52 |
| astro76 | CIS1987, hmm not sure, but it's nothing you need dvd packages for anyway... people earlier must have assumed you meant dvd video | 07:53 |

| Zweisteine | Hi, I'm using Gutsy and having problems with the wireless connection (ndiswrapper - broadcomm card (native driver: bcm43xx)). It connects and works OK, but the following problems appear: Switching networks in NetworkManager sometimes results in NetworkManager hanging. Sometimes, resuming from standby also results in NM hanging (and lack of connection). | 07:55 |
| q_a_z_steve | astro76, apt-get something??? | 07:55 |
| Zweisteine | Killing NetworkManager and restarting it solves the problems when they appear. What could I do? | 07:56 |
| astro76 | q_a_z_steve, I think libxml-perl | 07:57 |

| landslide | why is webmin not in ubuntu? | 08:08 |
| landslide | is there a better alternative? | 08:08 |
| astro76 | !webmin | 08:08 |
| ubotu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system | 08:08 |
| astro76 | not sure about alternatives | 08:08 |

| PanzerMKZ | I was wondering about the webmin to | 08:09 |
| astro76 | bullgard4, they are saying that the permissin bits mean different things whether you are talking about a file or a directory | 08:09 |
| qball680 | so if I wanted to take a stab at installing compiz/beryl on my mess around 6.10 box, what/where would I start? | 08:09 |
| astro76 | bullgard4, for example x means execute file, but means list directory contents | 08:09 |
| astro76 | qball680, might be best to mess around installing 7.10 first ;) | 08:10 |
| landslide | ok no worries | 08:10 |
| qball680 | sounds good | 08:10 |
| qball680 | I don't mind screwing things up, have a whole system for this | 08:10 |
| astro76 | qball680, that's what I would do, and you'll get compiz out of the box | 08:11 |
| qball680 | Ah | 08:11 |
| qball680 | I didn't know that | 08:11 |
| astro76 | it's default in gutsy (if your video card isn't on the blacklist) | 08:11 |
| bullgard4 | astro76: Did you notice that I was speaking about a well-defined directory? Its name is 'docs'. What file do you speak about? | 08:12 |
| qball680 | just picked up an 5200GT for Free | 08:12 |

| astro76 | qball680, not sure really, even ones that are blacklisted you can still enable, there are just a few issues with video playback that you'd have to work around, AFAIK | 08:13 |

| Zweisteine | astro76, The native driver is unstable for me | 08:14 |

| Happo | Hmmm. Howto copy all from old harddisk to new (I gonna buy 500gt :) Now only 20gt :D ) | 08:15 |
| astro76 | Zweisteine, ok just making sure... I know the bcm4318 needs ndis for instance, but most others work fine without | 08:15 |
| bazhang | Happo: replacing an internal drive or adding external one | 08:16 |
| landslide | is there anything in ubuntu gnome like kate in kde? | 08:16 |
| bullgard4 | astro76: It is not "the same for any file/folder". You did not yet answer the question which I have put at the outset. | 08:16 |
| Happo | bazhang, thanks | 08:16 |
| bazhang | landslide: gedit iirc | 08:16 |
| bazhang | Happo: sorry--that was a question :} | 08:17 |
| Happo | bazhang, so Go To Google? (GTG) :P | 08:17 |
| astro76 | landslide, gedit but it's not quite as "powerful" as kate | 08:17 |
| bazhang | Happo: not at all--just curious about which you were choosing | 08:18 |
| ma1 | my wireless is not scaning for networks. how do i fix it ? | 08:18 |
| bazhang | ma1: what is the card identified as eth1 wlan0 | 08:19 |
| ma1 | mal:eth1 | 08:19 |
| bazhang | ma1: sudo iwlist eth1 scanning | 08:19 |
| ma1 | bazhang:i got this message "Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device" | 08:20 |
| bazhang | ma1: perhaps that is a limitation of the device--can you pick up no access points? home network or roaming (ie starbucks etc) | 08:21 |
| astro76 | bullgard4, the gui is just giving you a nice interface to specify permissions for files or folders separately | 08:21 |
| astro76 | bullgard4, if you click properities on a folder, then the "file access" doesn't apply, unless you are also applying to subdirs/files | 08:22 |
| rav1 | is it possible me to run turbo c programs in gcc??especially those containing conio.h graphics.h...please help | 08:22 |
| ma1 | bazhand:no i cant even pick up my own. last time is was working fine | 08:22 |

| astro76 | Happo, try irssi | 08:22 |
| bullgard4 | astro76: But I have called the gui for a specific folder, namely 'docs'. So what 'files' do you speak about? | 08:22 |
| Happo | Is there any MSN software, what will works | 08:22 |
| astro76 | qball680, no 7.10, gutsy | 08:22 |
| bazhang | ma1: try this sudo ifconfig eth1 essid networkname | 08:23 |
| qball680 | bummer :) | 08:23 |

| rav1 | is it possible me to run turbo c programs in gcc??especially those containing conio.h graphics.h...please help | 08:23 |
| astro76 | bullgard4, then File Access should be --- if you clicked on a folder, but there is a checkbox at the bottom where you can apply to all subfiles/dirs | 08:23 |
| bazhang | Happo: for irc kopete does work, there is also terminal (if you want the kde version) or xchat | 08:23 |

| madman91 | hey guys | 08:25 |
| mynameisbob | hi there. can anyone help me with my wired network problem. i'm getting an ip from router. i can ping my nic so i know it works(also i'm dual booting with xp and internet works fine) i can also ping my gateway and ip.help!! | 08:25 |
| bazhang | ma1: how about sudo dhclient eth1 or sudo dhcdbd eth1 | 08:25 |
| astro76 | Happo, I'm assuming that's gui also, most KDE programs are... but you might try asking in #kubuntu | 08:26 |
| astro76 | Happo, the standard bittorrent client is console curses based | 08:26 |
| bazhang | Happo: you want rtorrent | 08:26 |
| Happo | Yah, I try | 08:26 |
| astro76 | mynameisbob, ok so what can't you do? ;) | 08:27 |
| mynameisbob | can't connect to internet | 08:27 |
| madman91 | stupid question: I have a list of url's (all pictures) and want to download them all in one pass... I tried passing them to wget, but wget takes the first one and the shell interprets the next ones as commands | 08:27 |
| mynameisbob | sorry should have mentioned that | 08:27 |
| spdf | mynameisbob: Can you navigate to google via its IP? 64.233.161.104 | 08:28 |
| astro76 | mynameisbob, ok so you can ping the gateway (your ISP gateway I presume?).. can't ping google.com? | 08:28 |
| ma1 | bazhang:it just give some stuff: last time the scaning was working it would scan and i would use.i reinstall is not working again | 08:28 |
| astro76 | mynameisbob, yes my next question... can you ping 64.233.161.104? | 08:28 |
| bazhang | ma1: under gutsy? what chipset | 08:28 |
| ma1 | bazhang:yeah instal | 08:29 |
| bazhang | ma1: pci card or usb | 08:29 |
| ma1 | bazhang:pci | 08:29 |
| bazhang | ma1: what does lspci tell about the card (numbers after ID especially) | 08:30 |
| misc-- | hello, was wondering if someone can help with this. For some reason, my computer freezes (mouse and all) whenever I put a CD in the drive. Any ideas? It's gnome related or something because it doesn't crash if gnome is not running | 08:30 |
| ma1 | bazhang:i dont understandd | 08:30 |
| Happo | How that rtorrent works? | 08:30 |
| Happo | :D | 08:30 |
| mynameisbob | spdf: yes i can actually navigate to google via its ip | 08:30 |
| Happo | is there any help-system | 08:31 |
| bazhang | ma1: in the terminal type lspci and report what it says | 08:31 |
| spdf | mynameisbob, sounds like a dns issue then | 08:31 |
| astro76 | mynameisbob, ok your dns server is down | 08:31 |
| bazhang | Happo: rtorrent is best explained here: kmandla.wordpress.com | 08:31 |

| gaYloVerZ | haiiiii | 08:38 |
| bazhang | ma1: here is a link to resolve this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 08:39 |
| fairyeneried | can i run KDE4 in a computer with no compiz|beryl support? | 08:39 |
| stdin | fairyeneried: yeah | 08:39 |
| macd | fairyeneried, yes | 08:40 |
| fairyeneried | i have a problem, and planning to delet KDE entirely of this machine for it | 08:40 |
| St3v | Good morning all. Does anyone experience this problem?: when running World of Warcraft (which works like a charm) and i switch desktop (with the rotation cube to a browser for instance) the game just disappears from its desktop and is also not in the taskbar anymore. The game is active though, i can still hear the sound go further. I just can't get it back/up again. | 08:40 |
| fairyeneried | KDE has no window borders | 08:40 |
| spdf | O.O | 08:40 |
| fairyeneried | i can use windows in thsi way | 08:40 |
| stdin | fairyeneried: you install with the apt-get line it gave on the announcement? | 08:40 |
| fairyeneried | excuse me, i can't use windows in this way | 08:40 |
| macd | fairyeneried, sounds like kde didnt get properly isntalled, or X hasnt been restarted wince. | 08:40 |
| spdf | Definiteiyl didn't mean to do that, lol | 08:40 |
| fairyeneried | macd: but now i'm in gnome and all is working fine | 08:41 |
| macd | fairyeneried, being in gnome doesnt mean anything for what KDE is doing | 08:41 |
| fairyeneried | let me check which KDE packages i have now | 08:41 |
| macd | fairyeneried, how did you install it? | 08:41 |
| fairyeneried | i installed the package kdebase | 08:42 |
| fairyeneried | from synaptic | 08:42 |
| astro76 | fairyeneried, you might be better served with kubuntu-desktop package | 08:42 |
| stdin | fairyeneried: kdebase, kde4base or kdebase-kde4 ? | 08:42 |
| macd | fairyeneried, kubuntu-desktop would be alot better. | 08:42 |
| astro76 | fyi | 08:42 |
| macd | fairyeneried, yeah, what astro76 said | 08:43 |
| fairyeneried | no just kdebase | 08:43 |
| stdin | fairyeneried: you said you wanted to run kde4, that's the kde3 package | 08:43 |
| fairyeneried | no, kubuntu-desktop install a lot of things i don't use, i prefer gnome, but i need some KDE programs working well | 08:43 |
| ma1 | bazhang:thank you. but i found what was the problem:-* | 08:44 |
| ma1 | :-* | 08:44 |
| bazhang | ma1: what was it? | 08:44 |
| fairyeneried | stdin: i was thinking in deleting kde3 and turning into kde4 instead | 08:44 |
| fairyeneried | maybe kde-core is a better alternative to kde-desktop? | 08:45 |
| astro76 | fairyeneried, do you want to run the kde programs from within gnome? | 08:45 |
| stdin | fairyeneried: well kde4 isn't totally useful yet, stick to running kde application in gnome | 08:45 |
| astro76 | fairyeneried, and if so, why not just install and let apt install the dependencies? | 08:45 |
| qball680 | at the risk of sounding like a complete moron, I was unaware that W.O.W. or other higher end 3d apps could run under linux. What/how is this done and is it viable?? | 08:46 |
| fairyeneried | i want to use programs like amarok and konversation | 08:46 |
| astro76 | !wow | qball680 | 08:46 |
| ubotu | qball680: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 08:46 |
| fairyeneried | but people here needs scim for chinese and japanese | 08:46 |
| stdin | fairyeneried: those run in gnome too | 08:46 |
| fairyeneried | and kde programs are ignoring dead keys | 08:47 |
| stdin | fairyeneried: just install the package and start the applications | 08:47 |
| astro76 | fairyeneried, you can just install amarok and konversation through apt-get, you don't have to worry about kde dependencies | 08:47 |
| fairyeneried | gnome programs are running good, but kde not | 08:47 |
| DarKnesS_WolF | i'm using feisty everything was perfect till last night . turn off the machine and on again and the gnome is not working just a blanl screen and seems it is a knowen bug any fix ? | 08:47 |

| simon__ | when i run compiz< fusion i have no window borders ...any one help ...? | 08:48 |

| simon__ | called desklets | 08:50 |
| simon__ | desklets | 08:50 |
| fairyeneried | simon__: your card is not well configured and by now you don't have support for compiz, configure your machine before using those effects is just what i can tell you | 08:50 |
| === simon__ is now known as sijmes | ||
| fairyeneried | ok, back tyo my problem, i tried to enter KDE to check what is happening in this system, and not only accents are bad, all the keyboard is ignored | 08:51 |

| sijmes | thanks for that | 09:00 |
| arun_ | fairyeneried: so is the syntax i posted correct? mv /path/to/1/ /path/to/2/ | 09:00 |

| === virtus is now known as Virtus | ||
| TV-VCR | Hello? | 09:01 |
| fairyeneried | i think the key is the trailing slash | 09:01 |
| bazhang | TV-VCR: not sure what the 'vista effect' is you speak of | 09:01 |
| fairyeneried | you want to place folder 1 inside folder in /path/to/2/ | 09:01 |
| TV-VCR | Let me try to find a pic of it | 09:01 |
| fairyeneried | then the safe way is first move closer to this folder and then move it | 09:02 |
| fairyeneried | you have /path1tofolder1/folder1/ then do | 09:02 |
| fairyeneried | cd /path1tofolder1 | 09:02 |
| fairyeneried | then mv folder1 /pathtofolder2/folder2/ | 09:03 |
| fairyeneried | and the result is /pathtofolder2/folder2/folder1/contentoffolder1 | 09:03 |

| buttercups | cizarr, try disconnecting your internet, see if it continues with the installation | 09:05 |
| bazhang | TV-VCR: yeah, but not sure what you want to do--get that effect in compiz-fusion? | 09:05 |
| bullgard4 | "detlef@Amilo7600:~$ gnomevfs-ls smb://md97600/freigegeben; config (Regular, application/octet-stream) size 11853 mode 0644".

But the rights are 0644! Can you explain this contradiction? | 09:05 |
| TV-VCR | bazhang: No, I want to get arid of it | 09:05 |
| bazhang | TV-VCR: have you tried quitting and restarting compiz? | 09:06 |

| TV-VCR | I haven't really done anything. Restarting it would do me no good. I'd be spinning my wheels | 09:08 |
| bazhang | TV-VCR: not restarting, quitting compiz and restarting compiz, ie not your computer | 09:09 |
| TV-VCR | I know!! | 09:09 |
| TV-VCR | Sorry | 09:09 |
| TV-VCR | That would not do anything, I have changed no options, it would be the same when I started it back up | 09:10 |

| bazhang | TV-VCR: then after the alt-f2 compiz --replace, again alt-f2 emerald --replace | 09:11 |
| TV-VCR | You mean go into the terminal? | 09:11 |

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 | 09:29 |

| Slart | _blitz_: be more specific.. what sound? playing mp3? watching dvds? what soundcard do you have? | 09:30 |
| bullgard4 | Slart: Instead of playing a pliceman I'd rather appreciate that you answer the question put at 10:05 h. | 09:30 |

| bullgard4 | astro76: Do not lie, please. The question I put was in English. | 09:31 |
| TV-VCR | That gave me a bloody heart-attack | 09:31 |
| astro76 | bullgard4, do not falsely accuse people, your question was clearly half in german | 09:31 |
| ss_ | Is Ubuntu 7.10 not support NTFS read write by default? | 09:31 |
| _blitz_ | Slart playing mp3s and all those things.the card is inbuilt intel(realtek high definition audio).i get better sound quality in XP | 09:32 |
| Les_Caesars | thanks astro76 it works now. | 09:32 |
| TV-VCR | Now could someone please tell me how to turn off this GUI feature correctly? | 09:32 |
| bazhang | TV-VCR: perhaps you should seek answers at ubuntuforums.org, or ask someone else help you | 09:32 |

| bullgard4 | "detlef@Amilo7600:~$ gnomevfs-ls smb://md97600/freigegeben; config (Regular, application/octet-stream) size 11853 mode 0644". But when I try to insert the file 'copy' in another directory (to copy it) Nautilus reports: "Error when copying. »smb://md...ben/config« could not be moved because you do not have the necessary access rights to read the object." But the rights are 0644. Can you explain this contradiction? | 09:52 |

| bazhang | parsi: unless you have an exotic ethernet card, then no | 09:59 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | Ayabara, First yuo would chck if everythign enabled and set up to max in your volume control. AQfter that I would check out the IntelHDA thread on the Ubuntu community for troubleshooting steps | 09:59 |
| TV-VCR | dood: How can I find out which one? | 10:00 |
| El_Burro | TV-VCR, under "Initiate Plugin Action" | 10:00 |
| parsi | ok! | 10:00 |
| TV-VCR | Where is that? | 10:00 |
| bazhang | TV-VCR: keybindings | 10:00 |
| parsi | no...i click "install" icon...wow! | 10:00 |
| dood77 | TV-VCR: it should tell you unless its in the same plugin, where you could just look | 10:00 |
| Ayabara | Learning-Ubuntu: First step is already done. I checked the thread, but did not find much about low volume, so I thought I'd check here. | 10:01 |
| parsi | bye for now, thanks for helps bazhang. | 10:01 |
| ankur_ | i need a graphical c++ compile for ubuntu? | 10:01 |
| Ayabara | Learning-Ubuntu: I'll take another look at it and post a thread in the forum | 10:01 |

| dood77 | bazhang: i made a new ext3 out of some empty space on an ntfs, and i don't know if i mounted it correctly because i cant write to it | 10:01 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | Ayabara, IO have the same issue though I can hear very nicely at max and the volume is muted at 75% | 10:01 |
| bazhang | dood77: what are the permissions on the partition? | 10:01 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | Ayabara, Youre lucky to get sound, I didnt have it and had to recomile with new alsa files to get mines working . Well the line in actually. | 10:02 |
| El_Burro | TV-VCR, its one of the uther groups of options in the "advanced desktop effects setting" in the "Viewport Switcher" tab | 10:02 |
| astro76 | ankur_, kdevelop or anjuta | 10:02 |
| dood77 | bazhang: it wont let me change any, they all say unknown group and just read | 10:02 |
| Ayabara | Learning-Ubuntu: ok. I do get "enough" sound, but it bothers me that it is 1/4 of what it is in windows :-) | 10:02 |
| TV-VCR | I found it and fixed it, yay :) | 10:02 |
| El_Burro | TV-VCR, superb | 10:02 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | Ayabara, You could try the threads out but if it is working Id recommend staying away from it. | 10:03 |

| pegasos | mboman: Yes, I guess I'll go for that next if I don't find a better solution but that isn't quite what I am looking for. The optimal situation would be that it looks just like a regular folder among other but when you click it, password is asked and then you can access it normally... | 10:25 |
| Ayabara | Learning-Ubuntu: found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto. maybe relevant for you too | 10:26 |

| Learning-Ubuntu | Ayabara, Thats the thread I meant. Thats how I got sound too :D | 10:26 |

| monsterfisk | any1 know a good guide to get warcraft 3 to work with wine in 7.10?? | 11:21 |
| snig | thanks for helping me, I will read up on VirtualBox vs Wine and then decide. | 11:21 |
| Zombie | With Wine, you don't ever have to actually install Windows, just the Windows applications you want. | 11:21 |

| waterpie | where can I see the difference of a new version of an a app that was upgraded from adept? | 11:22 |
| boyet | snig: yah keep learning new things EVERYDAY | 11:22 |
| snig | Zombie, you seem to prefer Wine? Do you mean that on Wine I don't get the desktop etc, but will be able to install and run the applications "directly" from Ubuntu? | 11:23 |
| Zombie | Yes. | 11:23 |
| snig | boyet, sure I do, especially now since I installed Ubuntu yesterday (and haven't used Linux before) | 11:23 |
| Zombie | But not all applications work under Wine. | 11:24 |
| Zombie | And in some cases, you may have to do something like, install Internet Explorer under Wine. | 11:24 |
| Zombie | or DirectX | 11:24 |
| snig | Zombie, you know if Visual Studio.Net and MS SQL Server works under Wine? Those are the most important applications to me I think. | 11:24 |

| boyet | snig: hey your like me am a newbie too but this channel has given more knowledge by asking and asking the guys never wears-out in answering my sometimes nonsense newbie questions | 11:25 |
| Zombie | Visual Studio I don't think so. MS SQL woud be unnessessary as Linux has its own SQL Server. | 11:25 |
| Zombie | Linux has KDevelop in place of Visual Studio. | 11:25 |
| TV-VCR | It's not allowing me to select cursors | 11:26 |
| snig | Zombie, then I think I will need to go for VirtualBox. Customers send me MS SQL backups and VS.Net project files. Thanks a lot for helping. | 11:26 |

| snig | boyet, sounds great that there are many nice people in here :) | 11:27 |

| Yarcanox | Just interested, because I found those idiots with whitebuntu | 11:49 |
| padski | assasukasse, at the end of the day packaging is a convenience. When it broken, as it appears that it is here, then you need to use the skills you would use to do the job without the packaging (and Ideally make the packaging work so that you can share it with others). judging from the bug report, the sid package might get you the module built but you will still have other work to do after that. The referenced wiki page will probably | 11:49 |
| padski | help and you may find the upstream or other distro doco useful. | 11:49 |

| Times_Witness | I am currently running it from the hard drive | 11:59 |
| graft_ | Times_Witness: most of those configs are application-specific, sounds like... | 12:00 |
| ethanmarcus | does anyone know a digital signage solution using ubuntu? | 12:00 |
| graft_ | Times_Witness: but you could try quitting out of the application before you reboot | 12:00 |
| graft_ | Times_Witness: rebooting just sends a kill signal, and some applications might respond better to a manual quit command in terms of config | 12:00 |
| graft_ | Times_Witness: also try logging out before rebooting | 12:01 |
| Times_Witness | how about the keyboard..? i cant really "quit the keyboard" :S and i have no applications running that... config keyboard | 12:01 |

| ralu | automaticaly at startup | 12:02 |
| Times_Witness | i have to go to system->keyboard and set the correct layout at each reboot | 12:02 |
| graft_ | Times_Witness: erm. so it's like a french keyboard or something? | 12:03 |
| neumind | is ccproxy for ubuntu? | 12:03 |
| graft_ | Times_Witness: might be that X is setup for the wrong keyboard | 12:03 |
| graft_ | Times_Witness: and gnome is reverting to the X default when it starts | 12:04 |
| Times_Witness | not french, french is azerty.. i dont know which kind of keyboard, i know where some of the keys are just because i used to play some game which console had that config and we could not change it; i dont know which keyboard is... in system->keybord , its set as english keyboard, 104 keys.. or 105 idont remember, however its not english keyboard aswell | 12:04 |

| Lustblader | mavric: press ctrl alt backspace when u get that screen | 12:24 |
| nijan | Lustblader: doesn't matter, but It would work and wont fuck up my configuration, wouldn't it? | 12:24 |

| ubotu | VijayG: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 12:29 |
| VijayG | thanks for congratulations, lets celebrate is ahead | 12:29 |

| Txukie1982 | hi | 12:33 |

| hubuntu | chazco you will need at least 3GB | 12:33 |
| olspookishmagus | so it's definitely a Debian bug | 12:33 |
| Lustblader | 10 gigs for ubuntu, 10 for vista, rest as u wish | 12:33 |
| sui | i installed nautilus-script-audio-convert,but can't convert .apt file,help | 12:33 |

| chazco | hmm ok... cant get rid of Vista yet so stuck with duel boots :( | 12:33 |
| Rainpoint | Hello, Ubuntu's screen resolution is broken. How do I fix this? | 12:34 |
| hubuntu | vista alone has more than 10g b (the super premium whatevere-they-call-it version) | 12:34 |
| chazco | Its running Buisness atm | 12:34 |
| Lustblader | Rainpoint: what is the exact prob? | 12:34 |
| chazco | And theres 10GB file on the Vista partition (its a virtual drive)... lots of resizing/copying to be done here :( | 12:34 |
| hubuntu | just give it 20 and use ext3 for windows to have acces to the partition from vista. Ubuntu gives you access automatically to the ntfs vista partition ;) | 12:35 |
| chazco | This is really annoying for one webpage :D | 12:35 |
| hubuntu | rainpoint you should take a lookat the system->Administration->Screen&Graphics preferences | 12:36 |
| hubuntu | just know what you are doing before you do it :) | 12:36 |
| sui | who can tell me : how to convert .ape file use nautilus-script-audio-convert | 12:36 |
| Rainpoint | It's displaying at a lower resolution than I set it to and now I can't set it back. | 12:37 |
| Rainpoint | Lustblader, it's displaying a resolution it's not supposed to. I've tried setting it but it doesn't change; there are no options in the drop-down list box | 12:37 |
| Rainpoint | I have; they don't respond. As I said, there are no options. | 12:37 |
| Rainpoint | Help? | 12:38 |
| Lustblader | Rainpoint: means your monitor software aint installed proper | 12:38 |
| hubuntu | chazco just follow this one: http://apcmag.com/node/5162/ | 12:38 |
| dinop007 | he got offline lol | 12:38 |

| chazco | Got odds of 2:1 my Vista partition is now ruined | 12:42 |
| Lustblader | vista is teh gay | 12:42 |
| Sopor | You must resize your partition when you install your window$ | 12:42 |
| chazco | But it works, Ubuntu doesnt yet :( | 12:42 |
| chazco | Well... that goes both ways, but still | 12:43 |
| chazco | Windows is booting... might have got away with it | 12:43 |
| Sopor | You must at first size your window$'s partition, and set the rest unpartioned | 12:43 |
| chazco | Or not... now its running that checkdisk thing | 12:43 |

| bullgard4 | "detlef@Amilo7600:~$ gnomevfs-ls smb://md97600/freigegeben; config (Regular, application/octet-stream) size 11853 mode 0644". But when I try to insert the file 'copy' in another directory (to copy it) Nautilus reports: "Error when copying. »smb://md...ben/config« could not be moved because you do not have the necessary access rights to read the object." But the rights are 0644. How to explain this contradiction? | 12:49 |
| tjo | Playing audio CDs in 7.10 (Gnome) outputs an annoying screaming sound, only VLC is able to play CDs | 12:49 |
| bullgard4 | tjo: Your statement is wrong. Playing audio CDs in 7.10 does not output an annoying screaming sound. | 12:50 |
| chazco | Windows has frozen in the same sort of fashion when attempting to resize the partition | 12:50 |

| dZen|n| | I need link to paste bin ? :d | 13:13 |
| dZen|n| | So I can paste my disks | 13:13 |
| _nix_ | !paste | 13:14 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 13:14 |
| Para93 | can anyone help me? | 13:14 |
| _nix_ | lol | 13:14 |
| dZen|n| | Shahar: see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45694/ | 13:14 |
| Shahar | jack_: if you hit ctrl+alt+F1 you'll get a text login console. You can then type "ps -a" to see the programs you're running, and then type "killall (program)", or if that fails "killall -9 (program)" or if that fails "kill (pid)" or "kill -9 (pid)". You can then hit ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to your GUI | 13:14 |
| robdig | CapaH: when I first installed Ubuntu in the spring, had a similar problem. Mine turned out to be the WEP password...on my wireless router I had an embedded space in it, which Windows didn't mind. Ubuntu didn't like the space...had to change the password on the router to get it to connect. | 13:15 |
| Shahar | ankur: mkfs.vfat (device name) | 13:15 |

| CapaH | robdig: its open -- no password | 13:16 |
| Para93 | ???????????? | 13:16 |
| CapaH | Hmm question, apparently there are drivers that work for this found at http://zd1211.ath.cx --- but I do not know which files I need. One says 'firmware' --- is this a driver file? | 13:17 |
| dZen|n| | Para93: don't ask to ask just ask! | 13:17 |
| Shahar | dZen|n|: okay you have two disks, and you're trying trying to erase a partition and enlarge another? | 13:17 |
| _nix_ | Para93: I understand you'd like to patch your kernel sources? | 13:17 |
| _nix_ | Para93: right? | 13:17 |
| draculoso | take a look of this:http://ubunturoot.wordpress.com/2007/11/24/lamentablemente-vista-se-instala-mas-rapido-que-ubuntu/ | 13:17 |
| Para93 | yes | 13:17 |
| robdig | CapaH: firmware generally updates the code on the card itself | 13:17 |
| Shahar | dZen|n|: he did ask, about patching his kernel, which is not something that I have the energy to explain at this hour | 13:18 |
| CapaH | hmm I dont know where the drivers are then | 13:18 |
| dZen|n| | Shahar: Yes I have 2 partiotions one on 6 gb and other 6 gbit all I want is to join these 2 partitions with the other big one. | 13:18 |

| bjames | hi all | 13:21 |
| bjames | stupid question... | 13:21 |
| Shahar | is it the error you get when you tell it to do things? | 13:21 |
| troseph | bjames: shoot | 13:21 |
| Sharpie | bjames: just ask, don't ask to ask | 13:22 |
| robdig | robdig: does your card show up in iwconfig? | 13:22 |
| diogo | alguem sabe com instalar .tar.gz no ubuntu? | 13:22 |
| Shahar | I've been fielding stupid questions for 5 minutes now | 13:22 |
| bjames | I quite often use the command "cat > file << EOF" - how can I make a script that acts the same but has the syntax "makeme file" | 13:22 |
| bjames | Sharpie: I wasn't asking to ask | 13:22 |
| Shahar | diogo: there's no such thing | 13:22 |
| slebor | 1st install..... | 13:22 |
| bjames | Shaprie: just warning about the level of the question :D | 13:22 |

| robdig | CapaH: does iwconfig show that your card is associated with your router? | 13:24 |
| bjames | karmelek: you should be able to just set the phone to mass storage if you just want to get files from it | 13:24 |
| diogo | What speak Portuguese? | 13:24 |
| zerok | VijayG, strange. then perhaps something went wrong when you install the mysql-server-5.0 package :-/ perhaps reinstalling it might help | 13:24 |
| bjames | dude: mv <old file> <new name> | 13:24 |
| Para93 | rodbig: yes | 13:24 |
| Shahar | Thinkywisely: Ubuntu creates the root account but doesn't create a password for it. This is to prevent people like you from logging in as root. | 13:24 |
| VijayG | ok | 13:24 |
| karmelek | bjames, how to do it? | 13:24 |
| karmelek | i'll show my dmesg | 13:25 |
| Shahar | if you can figure out how to create a password for the root account, you can log in as root | 13:25 |

| VijayG | through apt can we install joomla on ubuntu | 14:30 |
| IdleOne | jayde_drag0n: please dont tell people to use programs like envy as they are not supported by ubuntu and probably will break your system. | 14:30 |

| * _nix_ is stumped over Puck72's problem.. anyone else? | 14:31 | |
| jayde_drag0n | IdleOne: okay.... i've been having this problem for weeks and so have a lot of other people.. and the "suppoprted ways" i broke my system several times... so i thought i would provide a most sought after answer for those with ati cards that couldn't no matter what fix the desktop effects problems... i was trying to be nice | 14:31 |
| deplorableword | not actually wanting anyone to do it, just wondering if it's possible | 14:31 |
| IdleOne | jayde_drag0n: I understand what you are saying it is that envy and other scripts do things in ubuntu that force things to "work" but in essence actualy break the OS so you might not have issues right now but sooner or later down the line you might and probably will | 14:32 |
| chuleman | anyone know where to download the screenlets?? the oficials pages are down... | 14:32 |

| reduzio | QUESTION: hi! I upgraded from Ubuntu Fiesty to Ubuntu Gutsy, and now my pentium D seems to be using only one of it's CPUs :( (/proc/cpuinfo shows only one now, when there used to be two) | 14:44 |
| kst- | can someone tell me how to mount .mdf images in gutsy? | 14:44 |
| niko___ | i just switched to linux and my fans are spinning annoyingly fast | 14:45 |
| === Leaning-Ubuntu is now known as Learning-Ubuntu | ||
| reduzio | kst-, I'm not sure if you can do that, but you can download a little app called "mdf2iso" | 14:45 |
| kst- | how long does it take to convert a cd image then? | 14:45 |
| kst- | like a minute, an hour, ? | 14:46 |
| niko___ | any program to slow fans down, in windows i had speedfan | 14:46 |
| reduzio | kst-, a few minutes | 14:46 |
| kst- | ok will try that one then | 14:46 |
| kst- | thanks reduzio | 14:46 |
| kst- | oh i just found this, would that work? http://snipplr.com/view/738/how-to-mount-isonrgmdf-image-files-and-how-to-convert-between-formats/ | 14:46 |
| kst- | what does loop=/dev/loop0 do? | 14:47 |
| cunningx | I would be pretty interested in a program to slow down the fans as well | 14:47 |
| Kibble_ | my fans have been great | 14:47 |
| reduzio | kst-, you can mount them directly i suppose, but you need to know the offset to the begining of the actual image (past the mdf headers of the file) | 14:47 |
| Kibble_ | linux took nearly all of the load of my computer, barely ever reaches 50C | 14:47 |
| pippijn | hi all | 14:48 |
| Kibble_ | hey | 14:48 |
| pippijn | I installed ubuntu and I want to use my own mouse pointers | 14:48 |
| reduzio | kst-, oh it seems mdf doesn't have any headers, it's the nrg ones that need it | 14:48 |
| reduzio | kst-, so yeah you can mount them directly then | 14:48 |
| kst- | cool thanks :) | 14:48 |
| pippijn | I tried it with installing them to .icons and changing it in .Xdefaults but it didn't work out | 14:49 |

| tntCry | laptop overheating because of ubuntu !!! | 14:49 |
| Panagant | Panagant | 14:49 |

| reduzio | pippijn, system -> Preferences -> Appareance lets you install icon sets | 14:49 |
| bullgard4 | "detlef@Amilo7600:~$ gnomevfs-ls smb://md97600/freigegeben; config (Regular, application/octet-stream) size 11853 mode 0644". But when I try to insert the file 'copy' in another directory (to copy it) Nautilus reports: "Error when copying. »smb://md...ben/config« could not be moved because you do not have the necessary access rights to read the object." But the rights are 0644. How to explain this contradiction? | 14:50 |
| pippijn | reduzio: it lets me install them? | 14:50 |
| pippijn | reduzio: I'm in there now | 14:50 |

| bobbob1016 | I'm running on a Centrino, non-duo. It's 2ghz. It has CPU stepping, so it can conserve power. However, it is running 2ghz (full speed) all the time. I read a forum post that said to add some lines to my /etc/modules file, and now from time to time I get 1.5ghz, but not 600mhz which is the lowest it can step, and which it did on feisty, any ideas? | 14:53 |
| reduzio | kst-, guess you'll have to try mdf2iso then | 14:53 |
| kst- | yeah i'll do, thanks | 14:53 |
| mboman | bobbob1016, have you tried powertop? | 14:53 |
| gmenelau | how can i change the update setting not to need cd but to go to internet direct | 14:53 |

| pippijn | reduzio: how do I install that in ubuntu? | 14:54 |
| geekzy | and i heard an issue that if you use ubuntu 7.10 gutsy you can make the hard drive broke | 14:54 |
| gmenelau | kst- how? | 14:54 |
| geekzy | is that true guys | 14:55 |
| atlfalcons866 | geekzy: no | 14:55 |
| bazhang | not conclusive geekzy | 14:55 |
| atlfalcons866 | geekzy: it was a kernel issue in fiesty 2.6.20 | 14:55 |
| kbrooks | geekzy, no | 14:55 |
| anzan | geekzy, no. | 14:55 |
| bobbob1016 | The lines I added that might help others are "battery" "ac" "thermal" "processor" "acpi-cpufreq" "cpufreq-userspace" each quote is another line, in a terminal type "sudo gedit /etc/modules" and add all those lines, each part goes on it's own line, without quotes | 14:55 |
| atlfalcons866 | kernel 2.6.20 was a buggy kernel | 14:55 |
| kst- | gmenelau use the gnome menu in the panel? system > administration > software sources or something similar, my ubuntu is not in english :) | 14:55 |
| atlfalcons866 | does root have premissions to bypass everything | 14:55 |
| reduzio | pippijn, in Appareance Preferences, just click "Install" and select the .tar.gz of the mouse theme | 14:56 |
| NewUserr | hi guys i am cheking my system with tiger but each time when it tries to perform a rootkit check it crashes can anybody tell me why | 14:56 |
| gmenelau | kst- and then ? | 14:56 |
| kst- | theres a field with your CD image listed, uncheck that option and press ok | 14:56 |
| gmenelau | kst- there is no check in the cd rom | 14:56 |
| kst- | hum | 14:56 |
| bobbob1016 | mboman: powertop just suggests things to do at the moment, I was wondering why my CPU isn't stepping to lower speeds to save power as it did in feisty, edgy, and dapper. | 14:56 |
| chazco | Silly question... but is there a blue version of the Ubuntu 7.10 wallpaper? | 14:56 |
| bazhang | chazco: try art.gnome.org | 14:57 |
| pippijn | reduzio: the file format is invalid | 14:57 |
| mboman | bobbob1016, yes, but for me it found out that Skype is a real pig for an example - even in off-line mode | 14:57 |
| NewUserr | hi guys i am cheking my system with tiger but each time when it tries to perform a rootkit check it crashes can anybody tell me why | 14:57 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | chazco, I dont think so unless theres a package from Synaptic you could install to get it. You are likely to find it gnome-look.org or one of the other eye candy sites | 14:57 |
| bobbob1016 | mboman: Not using skype. I want to fix the CPU-Stepping, since I was happy with the battery life when it did step | 14:58 |
| chazco | ok thanks | 14:58 |
| atlfalcons866 | does ubuntu support have pata and sata drives? | 14:58 |

| mboman | bobbob1016, well, if powertop shows you that it should be stepping down but it doesn't I unfortunatly can't help you. My Thinkpad X40 steps down all the way to 600 MHz once I killed Skype and some other resource-hogging applications | 14:59 |
| VijayG | any manual for the same? | 14:59 |

| w0nder | my ubuntu login screen and desktop is messed up.. it's like ubuntu thinks i'm at a really high resolution so the desktop stretches off the screen.. I can't see the taskbar either. The mouse still stops at the bottom of my monitor. Any idea how to fix this? | 15:24 |

| Tomcat_ | alecs: Ubuntu 7.10? Works out of the box. | 15:24 |
| WildEnte | installation question: I want to install 7.1 from a live cd (live system works pretty nice). In the install partitioner thing, it first wants to use all of my harddisk, which would eradicate my windows, so I choose "Manual". Here, it clearly recognizes that sda1 is an NTFS system, but under "used" it shows "unknown". I could go ahead and install it just fine, but I fear that because it didn't recognize windows it won't configure grub | 15:24 |
| WildEnte | will even mess something up. | 15:24 |
| juano__ | ramvi: ok | 15:24 |
| ramvi | juano__: menu.1st isnt that important as grub isnt started | 15:24 |
| bruenig | Kevin`, do sudo visudo and add something like this: bruenig ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/wifi-radar | 15:25 |
| juano__ | ramvi: i need sudo fdisk -l | 15:25 |
| ramvi | juano__: http://pastebin.com/d5527e02c | 15:25 |

| ramvi | juano__: is that a question or a fact? | 15:27 |
| Tomcat_ | alecs: It should find your NTFS partition automatically, mount it, and you should be able to edit stuff there. | 15:27 |

| bazhang | Leachy94: you want to install it? | 15:37 |
| Leachy94 | yeh | 15:37 |
| bulmer | Leachy94-> format it as ext3 | 15:37 |
| Kevin` | jhoc2x2 it's very possible. you just need some other method for system information (memory ranges and such) to get to the os. sometimes just hardcoded, EFI does it, etc | 15:37 |
| juano__ | ramvi: fdisk doesnt have to do with that | 15:37 |
| juano__ | ramvi: it will always return the same | 15:37 |
| Leachy94 | it keeps saying about need a root thing | 15:37 |
| bazhang | is there some reason you dont Leachy94 | 15:37 |
| juano__ | ramvi: after or before the command | 15:37 |
| bullgard4 | "detlef@Amilo7600:~$ gnomevfs-ls smb://md97600/freigegeben; config (Regular, application/octet-stream) size 11853 mode 0644". But when I try to insert the file 'copy' in another directory (to copy it) Nautilus reports: "Error when copying. »smb://md...ben/config« could not be moved because you do not have the necessary access rights to read the object." But the rights are 0644. How to explain this contradiction? | 15:37 |
| ramvi | juano__: wont it return that the boot record is on sda1 when its been changed? | 15:37 |
| juano__ | ramvi: fdisk just shows you your partition layout | 15:37 |
| Leachy94 | i choose manual at start of step 4 | 15:38 |
| ramvi | juano__: it has a star for what partition will be booted | 15:38 |
| ramvi | juano__: am i wrong? | 15:38 |
| juano__ | ramvi: the boot record is never on sda1 , its on sda in this case which is the disks mbr, not the partition | 15:38 |

| Leachy94 | i have a partition of 10 gig ready for ubuntu | 15:39 |
| Kevin` | jhoc2x2 lots of systems you just have a bootloader loaded the same way a bios image would be (from a certain memory location), and that loads the os kernel directly | 15:39 |

| juano__ | Leachy94: all you need for ubuntu is a root or / partition (which is the same) and a swap partition | 15:41 |
| VijayG | this is to give the permission as writable | 15:41 |
| infinitycircuit | VijayG: chown -R $USER or chgrp -R staff or chmod -R a+w | 15:41 |
| Leachy94 | after this is doen wen i boot my pc i will get option to boot xp or ubuntu ? | 15:41 |
| bazhang | VijayG: that should suffice | 15:41 |
| VijayG | ok | 15:42 |
| Leachy94 | to make swap partition do i just create new | 15:42 |
| infinitycircuit | tntCry: what kind of laptop do you have | 15:42 |
| juano__ | Leachy94: that is with grub | 15:42 |

| tntCry | infinitycircuit, i tried it with 3 diffrent laptops | 15:42 |
| Leachy94 | whats grub? | 15:42 |
| Leachy94 | im new to linux | 15:42 |

| rahmen | I need help with my microphone | 15:43 |
| infinitycircuit | infinitycircuit: and follow all its instructions | 15:43 |
| VijayG | but joomla is showing some folders as unwritable | 15:43 |
| badkitty | VihayG: very easy | 15:43 |
| VijayG | any idea, which user needs to be given permission as writable | 15:43 |
| Leachy94 | so after i format the partition with ext3 and make it root / | 15:43 |
| Leachy94 | is that it press forward? | 15:44 |
| VijayG | <badkitty> : how to rectify that? | 15:44 |
| badkitty | VijayG: umm lemme think how that went it has been a while | 15:44 |
| tntCry | infinitycircuit, they all run out of battery faaast , and its soo hot from under , when im running vista hp stands 3 hours 1/2 | 15:44 |
| VijayG | In order for Joomla! to function correctly it needs to be able to access or write to certain files or directories. | 15:44 |
| VijayG | If you see "Unwriteable" you need to change the permissions on the file or directory to allow Joomla! to write to it. | 15:44 |
| VijayG | this is what it says | 15:44 |

| rbs-tito_ | I've tried going through the CUPs interface, but still doesn't work | 15:45 |

| tntCry | juano__, its enabled its just because of xgl conflict , however i still can enable it by typeing nvidia-settings -c :0 | 16:02 |

| MilitantPotat1 | you mean GTK? | 16:02 |

| livingdaylight | atouk: good question | 16:03 |
| gix | kevin`: you'll have to be more specific, i'm still feeling my way around ubuntu | 16:04 |
| juano__ | gix: what you can try is to insert the card, reboot and check to see if the restricted drivers detects it and prompts you for it, what card is it ? and if you heard madwifi, you should try installing that too | 16:04 |
| livingdaylight | i'm wondering what my options are in the Desktop environment for differnt window managers | 16:04 |

| tntCry | :( | 16:14 |
| chazco | hmm | 16:14 |
| tntCry | if hardy norman had main problems like ubuntu gutsy im quiting linux | 16:14 |
| Leachy94 | just by the live cd i can see why most people say ditch XP get Linux | 16:15 |
| Kevin` | it really can't be anything other then a bios issue, since grub doesn't have it's own video drivers. how a computer can be released BROKEN like that, I don't understand | 16:15 |
| Leachy94 | if my favourite game worked on linux i would have kept one partition and overrote my XP | 16:15 |
| tntCry | xp sucks but vista business rocks | 16:15 |
| drunken_sapo | vista rocks OMG | 16:15 |
| Leachy94 | i think vista is too new | 16:15 |
| Leachy94 | not everything works | 16:15 |
| fernandez | where is the ubuntu guide link ? | 16:15 |
| Leachy94 | and my fave game is buggy on vista | 16:15 |
| drunken_sapo | vista hangs my router :D | 16:16 |
| drunken_sapo | so i cant connect to internet | 16:16 |
| drunken_sapo | lol | 16:16 |
| tntCry | i ditched xp to buntu for work view not for gaming , but now i guess ill stick with vista business for a while | 16:16 |
| Leachy94 | i want the ultimate gaming rig one day | 16:16 |
| Leachy94 | one day is too far away :( | 16:16 |
| drunken_sapo | anyway, does anyone know how to make howtos in ubuntuforums.org? | 16:16 |
| tntCry | thats why you must think about when you die what will happen :) | 16:17 |
| Kevin` | the ultimate gaming rig changes every year | 16:17 |
| Leachy94 | i have no idea how much this is installed | 16:17 |

| juano__ | gix: system ----> administration ---> network | 16:20 |
| gix | yup; if i enable 'roaming mode', will it attempt to connect to my wifi network | 16:21 |
| juano__ | gix: yes, on the desktop there is a network icon top right | 16:21 |
| gix | i'm using wep encryption, so must i do the manual configuration ? | 16:21 |
| juano__ | gix: right click or left click it and you will see network lists | 16:21 |
| chazco | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-405515.html | 16:21 |
| gix | yup, it sees my network | 16:21 |
| juano__ | gix: nope it will prompt for wep or wpa security | 16:21 |
| gix | okie | 16:22 |
| juano__ | gix: select your network and select wep , enter password and that should do it | 16:22 |
| oz_ | I am getting error inserting rt61 module with modprobe. can any1 help with that ? | 16:22 |

| ubotu | DaD: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 16:23 |
| gix | should i be using the automatic configuration 'dhcp'? | 16:24 |
| DaD | thank you, i need some help... i must install my wifi card and install madwifi, I have dl a .tar.gz file but i dont know what to do with :s | 16:24 |
| juano__ | gix: that depends on your router configuration | 16:25 |
| gix | my brother's windows based machine configures it automatically as well, i believe | 16:25 |
| juano__ | gix: if its set to roaming mode then dhcp is enabled | 16:25 |
| gix | ok | 16:25 |
| mark488 | any way to resolve the issue with kino on ubu: "WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write | 16:26 |
| mark488 | > /dev/raw1394" ?? thanks | 16:26 |
| juano__ | gix: your router should give you an ip if its dhcp server is enabled | 16:26 |
| juano__ | DaD is your card listed in restricted drivers ? | 16:26 |
| gix | you know, my router supports 'WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)' | 16:26 |
| gix | should i opt for that instead of wep? | 16:26 |
| DaD | yep juano__ , it is an atheros card | 16:27 |
| juano__ | gix: its better yes, wpa/wpa2 Personal + TKIP | 16:27 |

| astevens | thisguy47, the driver for that nic is causing it | 18:18 |
| thisguy47 | should i just reinstall the driver? | 18:18 |

| === ArabEyes_ is now known as ArabEyes | ||
| santh__ | plz help meeeeeeeeeeeee | 18:32 |
| tritium | santh__: you'd have to ask a question if you need help | 18:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | santh__: you need to understand how permissions work | 18:32 |
| santh__ | how to paste the files in filesystem drive . i haven't enough space on the other drive . nearly 19gb space free in filesystem drive | 18:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | santh__: you can paste anything into /home or above | 18:32 |
| tatterdemalian | Jack: So why is everyone telling me to remove my ubuntu desktop? | 18:33 |
| tatterdemalian | I've already done it before, and I know for a fact that doing so leaves me with only bash. | 18:33 |
| tritium | tatterdemalian: that is completely false | 18:33 |
| RequinB4 | i think he means /home and below | 18:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tatterdemalian: I did not see your problem question | 18:33 |
| poeloq | How do I tell Gnome to open all .mp3 with xmms? | 18:33 |
| RequinB4 | santh__ most likely you need administrative privilages | 18:33 |
| tritium | Jack_Sparrow: he's incorrectly claiming that removing ubuntu-desktop would do taht | 18:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RequinB4: below | 18:33 |
| tritium | that* | 18:33 |
| poeloq | !xmms | 18:34 |

| Leachy94 | hey im trying to install flash player to watch moveis on youtube etc but when i go to install it keeps saying E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 18:34 |
| wastrel | i just removed ubuntu-desktop | 18:34 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: did u run dpkg -- configure -a? | 18:34 |
| Leachy94 | but when i type dpkg --configure -a in terminal it says i need to be a superuser what do i do | 18:34 |
| tritium | tatterdemalian: it _is_, in fact, safe to remove. | 18:34 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 18:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leachy94: sudo ... | 18:35 |
| poeloq | !sudo | Leachy94 | 18:35 |
| ubotu | Leachy94: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 18:35 |
| CoasterMaster | just make sure you re-install ubuntu-desktop before upgrading! | 18:35 |
| bullgard4 | soundray | 18:35 |
| Leachy94 | oh | 18:35 |
| Leachy94 | so go terminal and type sudo | 18:35 |
| Leachy94 | followed by the command | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tatterdemalian: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package and it will remove more that just the wm... What is/was the problem | 18:35 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: exactly | 18:35 |
| bluefox83 | where can i get support for gnash? | 18:35 |
| bluefox83 | !gnash | 18:35 |
| ubotu | An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 18:35 |
| tatterdemalian | Which is essentially "stop using Ubuntu for anything, because you aren't leet enough" | 18:35 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: it will ask you for YOUR password | 18:35 |
| Leachy94 | so terminal is Micros softs command prompr | 18:36 |
| linux88 | Anyone know why Emerald Theme Manager wouldnt be loading themes? | 18:36 |
| tritium | tatterdemalian: no, it doesn't remove your applications or desktop | 18:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tatterdemalian: Please stop and answer the question if you want help | 18:36 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: in essence | 18:36 |
| tritium | tatterdemalian: why not stop making false claims, and do it. | 18:36 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: they do the same kind of job, but a linux terminal is far superior and powerful | 18:36 |
| RequinB4 | Leachy - except with much more class | 18:36 |
| Leachy94 | it wont let me type my pass | 18:36 |
| gnufied | hi all.. | 18:37 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: it doesn't show anything, just type it and hit enter | 18:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leachy94: it dosent show what you type.. just type pass and enter | 18:37 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: how long u been running ubuntu/linux? | 18:37 |
| Leachy94 | since about 5 | 18:37 |
| Leachy94 | got it installed | 18:37 |
| gnufied | performance of X apps, with backport kernel (that fixes issue with intel HDA audio) in Xinerama mode is abysmal... any idea? | 18:37 |
| Leachy94 | been at it all day | 18:37 |
| RequinB4 | Leachy94 - well welcome to the community then | 18:37 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: Welcome to the Linux world then! U will get the hang of it and it will pay off :) | 18:38 |
| Leachy94 | TY | 18:38 |
| RequinB4 | incidentally, i have frends that run ubuntu just for compiz-fusion | 18:38 |
| tatterdemalian | Jack_Sparrow: My problem is that avahi keeps nuking my wireless connection, somehow. I've asked for help here and on the forums, and the best anyone can tell me is "go back to Windoze, luser" | 18:38 |
| tritium | tatterdemalian: that's a lie. We've told you what to do. | 18:38 |
| Leachy94 | ok its doing something now | 18:38 |
| Leachy94 | i got my duel boot going | 18:39 |
| Leachy94 | XP for games and ubuntu for i dunno more fun | 18:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tatterdemalian: we can deal with anyone that is giving that as a response (we check the logs) but removinf ubuntu desktop will NOT fix a wireless problem | 18:39 |
| tritium | tatterdemalian: we've repeatedly told you to go ahead and remove it, along with ubuntu-desktop, if you want. It is a *safe* operation. | 18:39 |
| tritium | Jack_Sparrow: he wants to remove avahi, which in turn would remove the ubuntu-desktop metapackage | 18:39 |
| infinitycircuit | tatterdemalian: why do you need avahi-daemon nyway? | 18:39 |
| boisnou | yop | 18:39 |
| RequinB4 | Leachy94 - 'apt-get moo' is a good starter command :P | 18:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tritium: which is not a fix for his problem | 18:40 |
| georgy_28 | tritium speak the truht ! trust him ! | 18:40 |
| tatterdemalian | tritium: And I told you I've fallen for that trick before, | 18:40 |
| Leachy94 | tritium has the power :S | 18:40 |
| tatterdemalian | Fine, I'll go back to Windows, since you're all so goddamn leet. Sheesh | 18:40 |
| tritium | tatterdemalian: that is _NOT_ a trick | 18:40 |
| boisnou | kill windows | 18:40 |
| infinitycircuit | tatterdemalian: what exactly is the trick that you are talking about | 18:40 |
| my_key | how can I reinstall apt-utils without using apt, synaptic or aptitude (the apt package is corrupt)? | 18:41 |
| tom__ | my_key dpkg? | 18:41 |
| Leachy94 | this Linux setup is realy good everything pre installed nice n tidy | 18:42 |
| infinitycircuit | my_key: dpkg should work, but are you sure apt is what is corrupt | 18:42 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: yeah, that is one of the big advantages | 18:42 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: and, if you have any questions you can always come here | 18:42 |

| Leachy94 | even a 13 year old could like it | 18:42 |
| Leachy94 | lol well yeh | 18:42 |
| poeloq | Leachy94: remember if you think it is something simple and just need a link type !command here | 18:42 |
| RequinB4 | for insance | 18:42 |
| Leachy94 | ok | 18:43 |
| RequinB4 | !sound | 18:43 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| nnoeonn | i have one question, if i write data to a disk wich i have windows boot on, what happens? | 18:57 |
| kane77 | bjames, then create separate /home partition... | 18:57 |
| bjames | kane: the Ubuntu installer wont allow you to create just one extra - it's either all automatic, or all from scratch | 18:57 |
| dgjones | T1m0thy, which version of Ubuntu are you using | 18:57 |
| poeloq | nnoeonn: what do you mean with write data? | 18:57 |
| kane77 | nnoeonn, it depends on where you write the data, what filesystem you use... | 18:57 |
| T1m0thy | dgjones, Gutsy 32-bit | 18:57 |
| bjames | I'm going to let it start to do it automatically, then manually take over (when I see what it wants to do) | 18:58 |
| poeloq | nnoeonn: install Ubuntu on it or copy a file to it? | 18:58 |
| dahitokiri | would it be better to encrypt a new usb external drive with truecrypt or LUKS? | 18:58 |
| kane77 | bjames, hmm.. yes.. but doing it from scratch isn't all that hard... | 18:58 |
| nnoeonn | It's nfs filesystem (or whatever its called, its the one on xp system ntfs or something) | 18:58 |
| bjames | I know I need a swap partition | 18:58 |
| bjames | and a root filesystem | 18:58 |
| poeloq | dahitokiri: I prefer truecrypt | 18:58 |
| bjames | and (in my case /home) | 18:58 |
| n08l3J | is there anyway that a software can be un-installed if it is compiled from source ? | 18:58 |
| nnoeonn | poeloq copying files and such, not installing ubuntu | 18:58 |
| dgjones | T1m0thy, ok, i'd seen an issue with sound on youtube, but it was only to do with feisty so no point mentioning it | 18:58 |

| aicou | bonsoire | 19:00 |
| n08l3J | no problem dahitokiri, i tried in the hamachi dir but make said it didn't know how to make targegt 'unistall' stop | 19:00 |
| kane77 | bjames, if you want to have more than 4 partitions on one disk you need logical, otherwise use primary... | 19:00 |
| poeloq | nnoeonn: never cut and past from NTFS or to NTFS, copy and paste and check the result | 19:00 |
| nnoeonn | So if i for example use t to store some avi files or something, my windows system wont crash? xD (need it for school -.-) | 19:00 |
| bjames | kane: am I right in thinking that this is due to the MBR having only reference for 4 partitions? | 19:00 |
| poeloq | bjames: If you have no data (including Windows) on the disk you want to keep you can use the default the installer gives you | 19:00 |
| poeloq | bjames: but only if _no important data_ is on the disk | 19:01 |
| Azure | im looking for a cheap laptop to run linux on | 19:01 |
| n08l3J | Is there any way to find out what files and dirs were created while installing a software from soruce | 19:01 |
| kane77 | bjames, yes... it's the MBR thing... | 19:01 |
| bjames | poeloq: I'm wiping - I've made backups | 19:01 |
| n08l3J | i can manually remove them up too | 19:01 |
| bjames | kane: cool | 19:01 |
| poeloq | Azure: check out Dell, they come with Ubuntu :P | 19:01 |
| nnoeonn | poeloq: So if i for example use t to store some avi files or something, my windows system wont crash? xD (need it for school -.-) | 19:01 |
| T1m0thy | poeloq, Do you have sound anywhere online? I don't seem to. | 19:01 |
| n08l3J | any suggestions dahitokiri | 19:01 |
| Azure | im poor as hell i only git like 400-500usd to spend | 19:01 |
| hambobo | wats the grub menu for xp | 19:02 |
| poeloq | nnoeonn: it shouldn't, but always make backups for school work!!! | 19:02 |
| poeloq | nnoeonn: Blank CDs are cheap ;) | 19:02 |
| nnoeonn | know, but im to lazy ^^ | 19:02 |
| poeloq | T1m0thy: which flash plug-in are you using? | 19:02 |
| dahitokiri | n08l3J, by hand then. or to do a make -n install keep track of the files that are put in the directories, and remove em yourself | 19:03 |
| dahitokiri | n08l3J, its a bitch, but it's probably the only option left | 19:03 |
| T1m0thy | poeloq, I'm using the one from Adobe. | 19:03 |
| poeloq | T1m0thy: and btw, youporn.com seems to mess up Flash sound support for the session, so maybe.... ;) | 19:03 |
| kane77 | bjames, the minimum is to have one / (root partition) at least 4 Gb, and a swap... other than that you might create mount point for every directory :) I have many mountpoints for various things like /var/www /tmp etc | 19:03 |
| poeloq | T1m0thy: I have sound after closing xmms that was unning | 19:03 |

| Tinned_Tuna | not much, just lurkin' | 19:04 |
| Tinned_Tuna | ... d'oh | 19:04 |
| dahitokiri | poeloq, why truecrypt over LUKS? what's your reasoning? | 19:05 |
| kane77 | bjames, and btw having separate /home is cool.. it saves so much time.. it saves all your preferences.. so you don't have to configure all the programs all over whern you reinstall... | 19:05 |
| bjames | kane77: that's what I was looking for ;) | 19:05 |
| T1m0thy | poeloq, Well.. lol. I'm not sure. Brb. >_> | 19:05 |
| poeloq | dahitokiri: Easy setup, cross platform support | 19:05 |
| poeloq | dahitokiri: personal preference as well | 19:05 |
| Tinned_Tuna | I'm having a little DHCP problem, it's most frustrating... I'm trying to get my server to take an addr of 217.46.228.157 but it refuses to take that IP addr, I have other machines that DHCP to th 217.46.228.15*, but this server seems to only want 192.168.1.252 | 19:06 |

| trollfot | I've been driven crazy today, while trying to run my nvidia card correctly. I just can't find any solutions on the forums. I keep getting NVIDIA(0): Resource conflicts detected or even NV(0) conflicts, when trying to run the X server. Anyone could point me to a resource before I totally lose my sanity ? :) | 19:10 |

| dahitokiri | is there a way for ubuntu to pass on the options passed during the kernel binary building to future kernel make commands? | 19:12 |
| sethk | poeloq, "where the configs are" would appear to be information about where the configuration for the program you are asking about resides. | 19:12 |

| sethk | mirak, yes, I know. Build the kernel from kernel source, then do your performance comparison (ubuntu enhanced with G4 kernel vs gentoo). If that doesn't give you enough performance, then we can rebuild libc (also from source). | 19:30 |

| anders | Hi guys. Im a completely new ubuntu user, and have a question. When installing ubuntu, i chose to make two partitions on my disc. One for ubuntu and software, and one for my large files. But none of these show up as a disc in the computer window, like im used to in windows. I guess the first one kinda shows, as the file system, but i would really like to have the second one show to. Can anyone help me with this? | 19:33 |
| LtEmerpoc | im lovin it and hatin it right now... | 19:33 |
| LtEmerpoc | mainly because... | 19:34 |
| mattsu-kun | my computer is werry fucking fucked.....if i try to reinstall 7.10 it says low memery....and I just keep logging uot if I trying to do anything else then the terminal and Pidgin....someone eho can help me?! | 19:34 |
| Parsi | thankx | 19:34 |
| LtEmerpoc | im not a very good coder... | 19:34 |
| LtEmerpoc | well.... | 19:34 |
| tritium | LtEmerpoc: you don't need to be one to use ubuntu | 19:34 |
| LtEmerpoc | i dont understand code very much... | 19:34 |

| jmauler | hello, does anyone know how I can make my modprobe alterations persistent? | 19:36 |
| hambobo | some1 see my grub menu and see if its right http://pastebin.com/d246d0e5d | 19:36 |
| jmauler | I know that for remove I can use the blacklist | 19:36 |
| gateway | sethk, i didnt find it ... its really strange ... | 19:36 |
| wastrel | jmauler: /etc/modules | 19:36 |
| tritium | jmauler: /etc/modules is for modules to load at boot | 19:36 |
| jmauler | but for add | 19:36 |
| sethk | gateway, in many cases you get that functionality by using your browser with file:// | 19:36 |
| thigu | LtEmerpoc: what is your resolution now? | 19:36 |
| meta4ical | Could anyone help me get my x800 working with the fglrx drivers? I reboot to a black screen don't know what to do. I've been googling my butt off for like a week but am lost : ( | 19:36 |
| LtEmerpoc | 800x600 | 19:36 |
| sethk | gateway, not for partitioning though, just for formatting and file management | 19:37 |
| thigu | LtEmerpoc: what is the monitor size? | 19:37 |
| jmauler | but my /etc/modules only have fs .. where are all the drivers? | 19:37 |
| tritium | LtEmerpoc: is this a fresh gutsy install? What video card do you have? | 19:37 |
| LtEmerpoc | its a 19" widescreen | 19:37 |
| tritium | jmauler: most are auto-detected | 19:37 |
| LtEmerpoc | i have a 9600xt | 19:37 |
| tritium | LtEmerpoc: no, not the monitor. The video card. | 19:37 |
| LtEmerpoc | ati | 19:37 |

| LtEmerpoc | ati 9600xt | 19:37 |
| jmauler | ok... so if I put ndiswrapper in /etc/modules it will load at init? thanks!! | 19:37 |

| mattsu-kun | yeah...I tried that...but....I hade to write in the trminal...and thete I don't know what to do:S | 19:40 |
| thinh1977 | is there anyway to turn off the default sleep mode when no one uses the computer | 19:40 |
| tritium | mattsu-kun: that's what single-user mode is | 19:40 |
| tritium | mattsu-kun: what troubles are you having/ | 19:41 |
| nnoeonn | what is the command for fps check? | 19:41 |
| jacob | what's the difference between the find and the locate command? | 19:41 |
| meta4ical | Why does noone ever respond to me lol ; ( | 19:41 |
| crdlb | jacob: locate uses a database, whereas find searches the live filesystem | 19:41 |
| meta4ical | I'll pay whoever helps me $5 paypal hm? :) | 19:42 |
| nnoeonn | crdlb: what was your question? | 19:42 |
| mattsu-kun | if i start anything else then pidgin and terminal I Logging uot from the computer automtlicly.... | 19:42 |
| Sharpie | meta4ical: what's your question? | 19:42 |
| crdlb | nnoeonn: you're a line off :) | 19:42 |
| VSpike2 | Hey folks - I've now got 2 ubuntu machines on my network and I want to share files betweem them. The main one is already set up with samba because I have a windows machine too. Should I just use samba on the new ubuntu box or is there a distinct advantage to using NFS (or something else?) | 19:42 |
| jacob | crdlb: im an intermediate computer user and new to linux, sorry, but i still don't understand | 19:42 |
| nnoeonn | crdlb: haha kinda noticed xD | 19:42 |
| LtEmerpoc | i still dont understand... | 19:42 |
| thinh1977 | i have strange problem with my screen i have dell d630. when i turn on the computer goes blank during the process until it hit x window and samething when i switch of the computer after it exit x window screen goes blank until it shutdown | 19:43 |
| wastrel | the principle advantage of using nfs is that then you don't have to use samba | 19:43 |
| meta4ical | I have an Radeon X800 Pro and I have been trying to install the restricted drivers for about a week now, but I reboot to a black screen. I also tried ENVY but that boots me to a White screen | 19:43 |
| nnoeonn | what is the command for fps check? any1 know? xD | 19:43 |
| wastrel | principal | 19:43 |
| VSpike2 | jacob: find actually does the search when you issue the command... | 19:43 |
| jmauler | tritium: I was trying to use my wireless network, but it was static ip network. It asks me to auth, and I put the correct pass and it keeps answer me... so I ve changed my network to dhcp, and it worked... i think ahari is trying to force dhcp, or anything like this.. and tries to reconnect, do you know how can I disable that without loosing network manager? | 19:43 |
| stefg | VSpike2: consider sshfs for a simple 2-box linux<-> linux networking | 19:43 |
| nnoeonn | meta4ical | 19:43 |
| wastrel | anyway, if you've got samba going already you might as well keep on with it | 19:43 |
| crdlb | jacob: every time you use find, it searches your actual filesystem. locate uses a database (updated once a day) so it's really fast | 19:43 |
| meta4ical | I've posted on linuxquestions and ubuntu forums and tried googling/searching both forums | 19:43 |
| slothimus | hey any help would be appreciated i installed ubuntu yesterday for the first time and it had all the window decorations and effects and stuff but today the window decorations are gone and as far as i know i am just using the default window manager or whatever | 19:43 |
| No_Smoke | hello | 19:43 |
| VSpike2 | jacob: locate has a background task which constantly updates a database | 19:43 |
| vzaytzev | cds | 19:43 |
| meta4ical | I followed the binaryhowto and everything | 19:44 |
| No_Smoke | can i format an partition in ntfs? | 19:44 |
| nnoeonn | meta4ical: I have a x300 card, and the restricted driver worked fine, sure ure using the right one? | 19:44 |
| crdlb | jacob: but if you make a new file, it won't show up in a locate search until the next update | 19:44 |
| stefg | No_Smoke: not really | 19:44 |
| nnoeonn | no_smoke: Shouldnt be any problems | 19:44 |
| meta4ical | All I did was freshly install 7.10 and then click the "Restricted Drivers" popup in the top right | 19:44 |
| tritium | jmauler: no, sorry | 19:44 |
| nnoeonn | stefg: why not? O.o | 19:44 |
| VSpike2 | stefg: oh yeah good idea. I forgot about that. But possibly overkill for a local network in terms of the CPU overhead in the crypto? | 19:44 |
| nnoeonn | meta4ical: continue | 19:44 |
| No_Smoke | with partition editor i can't.. | 19:45 |
| jacob | crdlb: and that's when i use the sudo updatedb command, right? | 19:45 |
| crdlb | jacob: yes | 19:45 |
| meta4ical | nnoeonn: and just like my old x1550, I boot to a black screen. and I can't reach terminal either | 19:45 |
| VSpike2 | stefg: Useful if this laptop goes offsite though | 19:45 |
| crdlb | that updates locate's database | 19:45 |
| hambobo | slothimus: when you were using the live CD to test Ubuntu out the settings, the live CD doesnt go to your hard drive | 19:45 |
| No_Smoke | can't format to ntfs | 19:45 |
| stefg | nnoeonn: because there are several versions of ntfs, and there is no real native implementation | 19:45 |
| jmauler | tritium: tks.. | 19:45 |
| nnoeonn | meta4ical: hmm... that's weird | 19:45 |
| tom__ | hi all, is there any way to install the all of the graphics drivers at once, including fglrx and nvidia? | 19:45 |
| lotia | anyone using a thinkpad t61p | 19:45 |
| nnoeonn | stefg: ok :P I stand corrected | 19:45 |
| meta4ical | nnoeonn: I posted my xorg.conf and initial problem on the ubuntu forums but no replies yet -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3792186#post3792186 | 19:45 |
| crdlb | tom__: no, the proprietary drivers clobber each other | 19:46 |
| VSpike2 | Second question is, are there any good gnome tools for smb browsing/mounting? | 19:46 |
| stefg | VSpike2: i find sshfs considerably faster than samba, and don't the overhead isn't that bad | 19:46 |
| tritium | tom__: do you have two graphics cards, one being ati, the other being nvidia? Why would you want to do taht? | 19:46 |
| tritium | that* | 19:46 |
| VSpike2 | stefg: really? interesting | 19:46 |
| No_Smoke | nnoeonn, do you know how to format it in ntfs | 19:46 |
| crdlb | tom__: in hardy, it will be possible to install fglrx + all the open source drivers. But there's no chance of nvidia working with anything else anytime soon | 19:46 |
| tom__ | tritium: its for a usb install, so i can use it on multiple computers and just dpkg-reconfigure | 19:46 |
| tritium | tom__: ah | 19:46 |
| tom__ | any ideas for a workaround? | 19:47 |
| nnoeonn | no_smoke: what system are you trying to format it into? | 19:47 |
| nnoeonn | no_smoke: Into ntfs again or another linux? | 19:47 |
| tom__ | i hate vesa drivers | 19:47 |
| stefg | VSpike2: and samba authrntication and account setup is a real pita. since you probably want an openssh server on both boxes anyway, why not use it for file transfer as well ? | 19:48 |
| tritium | tom__: perhaps keep the .debs in /var/cache/apt/archives/ on the usb stick? | 19:48 |
| crdlb | tritium: some people with laptops have switches between intel and nvidia video (for battery life vs. performance), and other people want to use xinerama across two cards | 19:48 |
| No_Smoke | nnoeonn, the deleted parititon | 19:48 |
| tritium | crdlb: yes, he did explain his intentions | 19:48 |
| tom__ | tritium but how could i detect which one to install at boot? | 19:48 |
| crdlb | tom__: an init script? | 19:48 |
| jacob | crdlb: if i wanted to search for a specific file (strictly speaking in terms of strings) what option sould i use for locate? | 19:49 |
| crdlb | check lspci | 19:49 |
| tom__ | crdlb: yea, currently it just has dpkg-reconfigure in | 19:49 |
| LtEmerpoc | well who ever was helping me before help me again.. i dont understand.... The software source for the package | 19:49 |
| LtEmerpoc | xorg-driver-fglrx | 19:49 |
| LtEmerpoc | is not enabled. | 19:49 |
| LtEmerpoc | thats what it says to me when i try to enable it.. | 19:49 |
| tom__ | but i need a way of detecting which card it is, to decide which package (if any) to install | 19:49 |
| crdlb | tom__: check "lspci|grep VGA" | 19:50 |
| nnoeonn | No_smoke: I would use a windows comp and plug the hdd in to that, and use the software that's on windows to do it | 19:50 |
| jannen | how can I do so when I in a application shall choose folder I can choose smb-mounted shares ? I can open thoose shares otherwise. | 19:50 |
| jacob | tom_: are you having wireless driver problems? | 19:50 |
| nnoeonn | No_smoke: It's probaly the easiest way | 19:50 |
| No_Smoke | nnoeonn, ok | 19:50 |
| jacob | tom_: i can help you w/ that if that's the case | 19:50 |
| VSpike2 | stefg: true -- i have the samba server set up but samba clients are generally a pain in the butt | 19:50 |
| tritium | LtEmerpoc: you need to enable the restricted section of the repositories | 19:50 |
| tom__ | crdlb: but i need a 'computer readable' output | 19:50 |
| nnoeonn | meta4ical: Hmm, i have no idea why it doesnt work | 19:50 |
| VSpike2 | stefg: and I've just tried sshfs and it's as insanely great as everything else in the ssh world :) | 19:51 |
| LtEmerpoc | how to ?? | 19:51 |
| tritium | LtEmerpoc: System -> Administration -> Software Sources | 19:51 |
| VSpike2 | stefg: it's almost too easy | 19:51 |
| MilitantPotato | Can someone tell me how to enable bootlogging? | 19:51 |
| nnoeonn | meta4ical: Have you tried to get it to work with windows? could be a hardware issue | 19:51 |
| LtEmerpoc | then? | 19:51 |
| crdlb | tom__: there might be a way to use the restricted-manager in command line mode to find out what drivers to install... | 19:51 |
| crdlb | I seem to remember such a feature | 19:51 |
| meta4ical | nnoeonn: I'm dual booting both, and it's a brand new OEM card, works fine in windows :P | 19:51 |
| tritium | LtEmerpoc: then you'll make the fglrx packages available | 19:51 |
| meta4ical | nnoeonn: I had identical issues with my x1550 but ENVY fixed it, that isn't the case with the x800 unfortunately | 19:52 |
| nnoeonn | meta4ical: xD That sucks :P | 19:52 |
| LtEmerpoc | no how do i enable it? | 19:52 |
| tritium | LtEmerpoc: you'll see a checkbox | 19:52 |
| tom__ | this is the final hurdle lol, hell, ive even made a kexec boot floppy to boot it on systems that dont support biosusb boot :P | 19:52 |
| LtEmerpoc | on ALL the boxes or no? | 19:52 |
| tritium | LtEmerpoc: did you already try System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager? | 19:52 |
| LtEmerpoc | yes | 19:52 |
| tritium | LtEmerpoc: and what happened? | 19:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | meta4ical: envy is a horrible thing to do to a computer | 19:53 |

| meta4ical | Jack_Sparrow: Well I'm rather new and desperate :( | 19:53 |
| LtEmerpoc | it said not enabled | 19:53 |
| tritium | LtEmerpoc: okay, so enable it as I suggested to you | 19:53 |
| nnoeonn | meta4ical: Well, the only thing i can imagine is going wrong is that the card isn't supported, but then i'm no elite at it ... Just know some stuff from here and there :P | 19:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | meta4ical: It isnt something that is easy to undo ... | 19:53 |
| meta4ical | Jack_Sparrow: The suggestion to try ENVY actually came from this channel :P | 19:54 |
| LtEmerpoc | i did and it says the same thing | 19:54 |

| Jack_Sparrow | meta4ical: It is NOT what people.. especially here should be telling you to do | 19:54 |
| tritium | LtEmerpoc: after enabling, you'll have to reload the package lists (e.g. sudo apt-get update, or via synaptic, etc.) | 19:54 |
| meta4ical | nnoeonn: I thought that too but there are people on the forums and whatnot with the card working, but that was 2005-2006ish. I sent private messages to them asking how they did it but noone responded | 19:54 |

| margaret | jesus, why doesn't dell preconfigure this stuff? this is nuts? | 19:59 |
| augustz2 | So I installed 7.1. When new ATI Propertiary drivers come out, do I need to do something (like download them from ATI's side) or does ubuntu upgrade them automatically? | 19:59 |

| hellonull | that's what she said | 20:19 |
| PhysicX | Flare183, cheers m8;) forgot about it;) | 20:19 |
| PhysicX | hope it will help;) | 20:20 |
| hellonull | PederB: did you try adjusting font sizes, etc? | 20:20 |
| supremesonic | I need to start a copying files to a truecrypt drive, and I would like to know how to priority of that task, It is using lot of cpu power on transfering files. | 20:20 |
| desertc | bodo: Which repo ? | 20:20 |
| Flare183 | physicx:> it cleans the package cache with it probaly huge after a while | 20:20 |
| Guns-N-Roses | i want to triple boot my pc. i already have xp and vista. 1st question can ubuntu install on an external serial ata with silicon image controller. 2nd will the bootloader see all 3 OSes 3rd if i uninstall ubuntu will the vista loader be back? | 20:20 |
| ubuntun00b | Jack_Sparrow: yes, i have | 20:20 |
| PederB | hellonull: No, I have just installed 7.10 on the laptop, and it is not consistent. I've tried rebooting. Some times it is ok, but sometimes it goes wacko.. :P | 20:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: great... and you know the name and location in case you need to cp it back to xorg.conf | 20:21 |
| desertc | Guns-N-Roses: 1: It's possible. 2: Yes. 3: No. | 20:21 |
| bodo | desertc, can you wait me to know exactly which one? | 20:21 |
| ubuntun00b | Jack_Sparrow: yes, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:21 |
| desertc | bodo: If I'm not here, then someone else can help you. | 20:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: great, you are learning fast my friend | 20:21 |
| Guns-N-Roses | thanx desertc | 20:21 |
| desertc | bodo: It might be just the CDrom repo | 20:21 |
| PhysicX | is anything else Flare183 ? should do about it, after using a long time ubuntu;) | 20:21 |
| PhysicX | ? | 20:21 |
| arthur | www.soundwaves2000.com has active x blocking me from it's content. How can I avoid this abuse. | 20:22 |
| margaret | stefg: still there? I'm back and more frustrated then ever | 20:22 |
| bodo | desertc, okay thx | 20:22 |
| ubuntun00b | Jack_Sparrow: so, should i reboot with my external monitor plugged in and then enter the command you gave me earlier? | 20:22 |
| stefg | margaret: what happened ? | 20:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: post your xorg to the pastebin please.. so you can see it | 20:22 |
| margaret | my xorg.conf did not work | 20:22 |
| desertc | Guns-N-Roses: There are wiki help docs on re-installing windows in place of Ubuntu | 20:22 |
| margaret | got errors: device not found or somethign to that effect | 20:22 |
| PMantis | Hi guys. I'm use ndiswraper for an sis 191 chipset. Works great, but registers this NIC as wlan0 ? Can I change this to be called eth0 ? | 20:22 |
| skelter | hey all - recently upgraded to 7.10, now i'm having some video issues - can't get out of "low graphics mode" | 20:22 |
| PederB | hellonull: in the login window what I wrinte in the "name" and "password" fields is also way too large to be read :P | 20:22 |
| Guns-N-Roses | now about a live cd! does it keep any files on HD or everytime you boot with live cd you must configure it again (internet and so) | 20:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: YEs, that is what I would try | 20:22 |
| desertc | Guns-N-Roses: no files on HD. You can use a USB memory stick if you want to save files. | 20:23 |
| hellonull | PederB: wow. i really don't know what to tell you. never run into anything like that before. perhaps someone else will be able to help. | 20:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: have you looked at your xorg? | 20:23 |
| ubuntun00b | Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/d5d8f8b37 | 20:23 |
| stefg | margaret: run 'lspci | grep VGA' and see what card exactly you have | 20:23 |
| desertc | !nohelp | 20:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: do you understand how it is setup | 20:23 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nohelp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:23 |
| margaret | stefg: it asks for the pci bus, I just left that as default: 1:0:0. Was that wrong? | 20:23 |
| Flare183 | physicx:> install kleansweep it might help you | 20:23 |
| stefg | margaret: that was right | 20:23 |
| nnoeonn | how do i configure my x300 card? | 20:23 |
| PhysicX | Flare183, thanks, i will try it. | 20:23 |

| Leachy94 | lol coolio i just noticed wen i open and minimize mozilas download box it zooms in and out lol | 20:24 |
| DanaG | Odd: the update-manager console window is not resizable. | 20:24 |
| PMantis | skelter: Not an expert, but I'd look at /etc/X11 for an older version of the xogr.conf file... backup the new one and rename an old one as xorg.conf. | 20:24 |
| ubuntun00b | Jack_Sparrow: vaguely | 20:24 |
| DanaG | Or rather, you can make it bigger, but once you do, you can't make it smaller again. | 20:24 |
| margaret | stefg: says: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0423 (rev a1) | 20:24 |
| PederB | hellonull: yeah, hope so. Kind of annoying even tough it only happens once in a while. | 20:24 |
| nnoeonn | meta4ical: How is it going? :) | 20:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: you need to add the res you want to line 109 | 20:25 |

| margaret | no | 20:25 |
| margaret | I don't think so | 20:25 |

| Cyllene | Hello. Does anyone know how to enable the "Leave Message" button in gnome-screensaver? | 20:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: you should consider adding vsync and hrefresh rates at line 93 | 20:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: what res were you wanting to add? | 20:26 |
| stefg | margaret: run "sudo update-pciids" | 20:26 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: http://pastebin.com/m34d10dfb like that? | 20:27 |
| stefg | margaret: so try again... you probably changed the driver from nvidia to nv? so change it back again to nvidia and try restarting the x server | 20:27 |
| arthur | thanks! ubuntu00b | 20:28 |

| margaret | I'll try again | 20:28 |
| stefg | margaret: so how did you get back then here? using a different comp ? | 20:28 |
| margaret | same computer | 20:28 |
| Cpudan80 | exius: You have to download the kernel source | 20:28 |
| margaret | just moved the backup file over the xorg.conf | 20:28 |
| MikeW | Hrmm. | 20:28 |
| exius | o? | 20:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: if you still have problems add sync rates but make sure they are within what both monitors will handle | 20:29 |
| Cpudan80 | exius: sudo apt-get install kernel-source I think | 20:29 |
| Cpudan80 | exius: might want kernel-headers too | 20:29 |

| z00m | need some help, is it possible to restore my windows MBR from ubuntu live CD or even install grub again on my C: drive because grub is not working anymore and im unable to boot into windows after removing the partition which had ubunut on it :( | 20:30 |
| margaret | stefg: X.Org server modules that should be loaded by default?│ | 20:30 |
| margaret | │ by default: | 20:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: Yes, that is where I would start, if that is a prob, set to vesa, locate sync rates and include them as we discussed | 20:30 |
| z00m | im getting grub error: 22 | 20:30 |
| margaret | leave as is? | 20:30 |
| CapaH | hello wirechief | 20:30 |

| MikeW | I want to build a high-end gaming system, though, and have been looking more at nVidia's nForce chipset, for SLI support. Also, Core 2 Duo. | 20:31 |
| stefg | margaret: just leave the defaults... but you don't need to reconfigure the server again | 20:31 |
| bodo | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45727/ problem is here | 20:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: also.. to save the download of updates | 20:31 |
| MikeW | Anyone have insight in Ubuntu's nForce 680i / SLI / Core 2 Duo combinations? | 20:31 |
| z00m | thanks dgjones | 20:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: burn a copy of /var/cache/apt/archives to a cd then you will not need to download the updtaes again | 20:31 |
| MikeW | I'm an ATI user now, and have had bad experiences working with fglrx, which is why I've been looking more at nVidia solutions. | 20:32 |
| stefg | margaret: only restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace) or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 20:32 |
| CroX | Anyone here runs last.fm's client player? | 20:32 |
| * DanaG actually wishes his laptop had an ATI X1000 series card instead of the GeForce Go 7600. | 20:32 | |
| margaret | stefg: ok, going to restart now | 20:32 |
| exius | shouldnt it normally be located in /usr/src/ filename linux-2.6.20 ? Cpudan80 | 20:32 |
| CroX | Because I have reason to suspect that it is what is crashing my computer.. | 20:32 |
| MikeW | DanaG: I don't think you really do:P | 20:32 |
| Cpudan80 | exius: Dunno | 20:32 |
| ubuntun00b | Jack_Sparrow: so i don't need to add another device/screen section? will my laptop monitor be disabled? | 20:32 |
| DanaG | I'm sick and tired of NVIDIA driver issues, such as the full screen blinking. | 20:32 |
| bodo | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45727/ my problem here | 20:32 |
| PoofDaddy | How do I find out how much disc space left in gutsy? | 20:32 |
| Cpudan80 | exius: It's a symbolic link to somewhere else I think | 20:32 |
| desertc | MikeW: Really no reason to invest in a high-end video while the drivers lack the support for those features. A NVIDIA 6600 GT card should do fine for an Ubuntu desktop. | 20:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: are you trying to run both? | 20:33 |
| thinh1977 | how do i get computer go out of suspention on a remote computer anyone? | 20:33 |
| georgy_28 | PoofDaddy, : df -h | 20:33 |
| ubuntun00b | Jack_Sparrow: no, only the external one | 20:33 |
| DanaG | Which would you rather have: Buggy but decent drivers now, with no idea of improvement, | 20:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: ok | 20:33 |
| Musashi | MasterShrek, hey :) | 20:33 |
| MikeW | desertc: Are there no well supported devices, then?:/ | 20:33 |
| DanaG | or crappy drivers now, with hope of improvement due to the new open-sourced specs? | 20:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: you should still be able to boot the lappy screen | 20:33 |
| DanaG | I'd go with the latter. | 20:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: just not at the same time. at least on my lappys | 20:34 |
| MikeW | Interesting take, DanaG. | 20:34 |
| ubuntun00b | Jack_Sparrow: ok, that's fine | 20:34 |
| polm | Can I remove/disable a particular device? I've got a Jostick attachment on my keyboard that I would prefer not be installed as a device by my Ubuntu. | 20:34 |
| desertc | MikeW: It's a problem with the drivers being closed sourced. AMD and Intel are both working on that solution, but only Intel has open 3D drivers. | 20:34 |
| MikeW | DanaG: My experience getting my X1600 working has been like getting teeth pulled... I finally got Compiz to *run* | 20:34 |
| ubuntun00b | Jack_Sparrow: i'll give it a go then, wish me luck :-) | 20:34 |
| MikeW | Slower than molassis in December, though.... | 20:34 |
| Templer | DanaG your screen blinkin too? | 20:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntun00b: good luck, or your reconfigure | 20:34 |
| DanaG | And for Windows, I miss having ATI Tray Tools in Windows... rivatuner isn't quite the same. | 20:34 |
| Musashi | im about to install ubuntu dual boot on my new laptop, just wondering if i should go ahead with the new 7.10 or stick with 7.4... | 20:34 |
| MikeW | XGL runs slow as poop, too. | 20:34 |
| DanaG | Mine doesn't blink now, but it sometimes does. | 20:35 |
| desertc | MikeW: In the meanwhile, go with either NVIDIA for performance, unless you can get an Intel on-board solution. | 20:35 |
| thinh1977 | does the computer wake up if i have respond to ping? | 20:35 |
| polm | I'm hoping for a permanent fix, rather than modifying the related /dev/js* device. | 20:35 |
| Templer | im using a Nividia driver also and it wrecked my monitor. | 20:35 |
| MikeW | desertc: Ah, interesting. So Intel well supports their onboard GPUs? | 20:35 |
| DanaG | Wrecked a monitor? How? | 20:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Templer: is it an old crt | 20:35 |
| mirak | hi | 20:36 |

| polm | At the same time, I need to leave the joystick modules enabled for a pair of wireless gamepads I have connected via USB. | 20:36 |
| eghjaytee | is there a different ubuntu support channel other than this one? | 20:36 |
| desertc | MikeW: They have the best Linux supported solution at the moment with their GM965. | 20:36 |
| mirak | are there any online game actively played that are in ubuntu repositories ? | 20:36 |
| polm | Any suggestions? | 20:36 |
| skelter | hey all - ever since I upgraded to 7.10 the OS can't detect my monitor properly...have to do everything in "low graphics mode". in the monitor configuration control panel it gave me when i booted, i selected my monitor, clicked "test", and it looked fine - but now that i'm in gnome it's not working anymore...just 800x600. anyone know what i can do? | 20:36 |
| eghjaytee | is anyone in here using GFS in ubuntu? | 20:36 |
| Templer | yep but got another one that was in the house and the same is happening now | 20:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mirak: check out sauerbratten | 20:36 |
| eghjaytee | global file system that is | 20:36 |
| MikeW | desertc: Hrmm, thanks for your insight:) | 20:36 |
| mirak | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 20:36 |
| Musashi | hmm. i think ill stick with 7.4 then >_> | 20:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mirak: I dont know if it is in the repos though, but works fine in Ubuntu | 20:37 |
| MikeW | mirak: Check out Wine for Ubuntu. I use it to play Starcraft online. Also, most OpenGL games can work very nicely... NWN actually runs better on Ubuntu, | 20:37 |
| MikeW | Than it seemed to run on the same system running Windows XP, hehe. | 20:38 |
| desertc | MikeW: In the next year, AMD may roll out an impressive solution with their ATI cards, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it yet. | 20:38 |
| MikeW | Which is nice. | 20:38 |
| DanaG | Now I just need to find a laptop that'll have it. | 20:38 |
| Musashi | is there any place i can check to see if my model laptop is compatible with ubuntu? | 20:38 |
| * kane77 's fish has just died :( | 20:38 | |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, here's my xorg.conf: www.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/xorg.conf | 20:38 |

| Musashi | thanks Jack_Sparrow | 20:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 20:39 |
| dad | having a problem with installing unbuntu 7.10 - keep getting this error ==> Nautilus could not be used now due to an unexpected error of Bonobo | 20:39 |
| margaret | stefg: still no luck | 20:39 |
| MikeW | desertc: The 8.42.3 upgrade from 8.40.4 was a huge improvement for me, that's for sure. I guess it shows they're at least paying attention. | 20:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mirak: I also liked cube by the same people. | 20:39 |
| margaret | got some bs about dal hac not loading or some crap like that | 20:39 |
| MikeW | All I read, though, is how much better the nVidia cards are supported on Ubuntu. | 20:39 |
| thinh1977 | anyone know how i turn off ubuntu so it doesnt goes into sleep or hibernation mode? | 20:39 |
| MikeW | It took me months to get my ATI card working at a reasonable level, though, sadly... I blame it all on v8.40.4. | 20:40 |
| srm | hi there, i'm looking for some info on how to get ndiswrapper working. The common question section points to "Using Windows Wireless Drivers" which says, i should install ndisgtk via Synaptics but there is no such package. I have a fresh install of 7.10 on an old laptop with wireless pcmcia. | 20:40 |
| DanaG | Oh, another lovely thing about NVIDIA: sometimes I get a hard lockup for 30 seconds or more. | 20:40 |
| MikeW | v8.42.3 solved all my problems, basically. HEHE | 20:40 |
| stefg | margaret: so what exactly happens? gdm tries to start, but bluescreens ? | 20:40 |
| MikeW | Interesting, DanaG. | 20:40 |
| margaret | tries to start 3 times, then I get a blue screen asking if I want to see the errors | 20:40 |
| desertc | MikeW: Many people don't consider Intel's cards valid, because they are embedded into the motherboard, but at least they have open 3D drivers. | 20:40 |
| DanaG | Oh, and bulletproof-X was bad for me: if nvidia kernel module was missing, I'd get Xorg STILL refusing to start, then GDM still showing the text-mode screen, and then once I fixed it, I found: | 20:41 |
| margaret | this time it said the configuration was not usable despite leaving all the defaults | 20:41 |
| DanaG | WTF? What just happened? I just got a random click somewhere! | 20:41 |
| stefg | margaret: so which error do you get ? | 20:41 |
| MikeW | desertc: Indeed. I don't underestimate them, I mean, with adaquate physical memory, mainboard-based GPUs could have great performance. You could only have 1, though. | 20:41 |
| srm | ah i see, ndisgtk is in universe. | 20:41 |
| MikeW | With SLI / CrossFire, you can multiply:) | 20:41 |
| margaret | something about hal dac or something totally indecipherable | 20:41 |
| MikeW | hehe, DanaG. Have you isolated the problems you're experiencing to the graphics drivers? | 20:42 |
| Musashi | darn its not listed there, but its a newer laptop... if it doesnt work i could just del the partition, ya? | 20:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Danawhat all you are describing is not normal and is sometimes found in systems where a user has gone outside our repos to get bleeding edge, then come hearcomplaining about blood loss | 20:42 |
| mwilliam13 | is there anyone here willing to assist in a wireless network issue? | 20:42 |
| DanaG | What I mean by "I just got a random tap" is that it tramples on my xorg.conf and re-enables tapping. | 20:42 |
| georgy_28 | !ask | 20:43 |

| MikeW | I run a very clean installation of Ubuntu, DanaG. I isolated my problems down to my ATI device drivers alone. It sounds like you may be affected by more than one issue, maybe? | 20:44 |

| mwilliam13 | I have installed gutsy gibbion on a dell latitude d620. I had a complete install working fine with fiesty fawn, including the wireless nic. after some issues, i did a fresh install using wireless windows drivers (the inf files) just as I had before, but this time it is fubared. I followed along an install from "frodob's" post on installing a broadcom 43xx wireless nic, but had issues after i edited my wconfig file. now i have no | 20:45 |

| MikeW | DanaG: I used different X servers as well as different versions of the same X servers. I tried the use of XGL instead of AIGLX, | 20:45 |

| MikeW | DanaG: As well as Indirect and Direct rendering toggling, with many many different versions of the fglrx (Proprietary ATI driver,) with the open source DRI drivers. | 20:46 |
| MikeW | DanaG: I mean, hehe, I CONFIRMED that ATI's drivers are LOADED with problems they wont even admit to. | 20:46 |

Then I used 'ndiswrapper -i ...' to load the XP driver and 'ndiswrapper -l' now returns 'driver installed' but not 'hardware present' . What could be the problem? Are there any other prerequisites i could have missed to get my pcmcia card working? | 21:23 |
| dallas | exactly | 21:23 |
| el | is there a good newsreader in ubuntu that supports nzb files? | 21:23 |
| ryan__ | xp drivers are never good | 21:23 |
| IdleOne | dad: backup your /home install ubuntu on the suse partition the copy your /home onto the ubuntu /home and there ya go. about the bonobo error ps aux find any process with bonobo in it and kill PID will start auto | 21:23 |
| ryan__ | use win2k drivers instead | 21:24 |
| ryan__ | that was my problem | 21:24 |
| ryan__ | what is your card model? | 21:24 |
| Noble | this isn't ubuntu specific, but why does my tv out look better under vesa 640x480 than it does using nvidia 640x480? | 21:24 |
| PMantis | sethk: Yes, it's an SiS Gigabit ethernet adapter, that needs ndiswrapper... it gets an IP immediately, I can ping gateway, I can ping IPs on the internet other PC can ping it, but I cannot SSH in or out of this box. | 21:24 |
| sethk | PMantis, but with the USB adapter you can ssh in? | 21:24 |
| srm | ryan__: the card is based on Marvell 88w8335 (Libertas) | 21:24 |
| dad | thanks all! | 21:24 |
| srm | will try the 2k drivers | 21:24 |
| DeltaUK | hey guys, i just accidently ran an exe on the ubuntu cd called wubi-cdboot.exe and it installed sumthing and is askin me to restart, what is it??! | 21:24 |
| ryan__ | srm: where did you get the drivers? | 21:25 |
| PMantis | sethk: I can also telnet out to an IP. | 21:25 |
| ferronica | On Ups Power, I check off Enable Ups Discharge Alarm then I hit close.. when I reopen that same menu the option is not checked.. what's going on? I have restarted the apc service a couple of times.. but it's still unchecked whenever I look at it | 21:25 |
| Dr_willis | wubi is on the offical ubuntu cd? | 21:25 |
| PMantis | sethk: lemme try USB again with SSH | 21:25 |
| DeltaUK | well i just installed it :S:S | 21:25 |
| DeltaUK | by accident, went well quick.. in windows xp | 21:26 |
| pike_ | wubi is a win32 app right? you ran it from windows? | 21:26 |
| thinh | anyone know what the problem when i am on the outside of my network i cant ssh into my machine when it is in hibernation mode but when i am on the network i can ssh into my machine | 21:26 |
| PMantis | sethk: Works perfectly with USB networking | 21:27 |
| DeltaUK | i just installed it from the cd, and wanted to know what it was | 21:27 |
| PMantis | sethk: SSH, DNS, etc | 21:27 |
| srm | ryan__: i got them from the card vendors site | 21:27 |
| Noble | where should I go for X11 tv out support? | 21:27 |
| sethk | PMantis, Check the default route in the case where it doesn't work. | 21:27 |
| PMantis | sethk: I've use route -n looks good | 21:27 |
| thinh | its seems like the listing service is not running on internet traffic but it respond on lan traffic because it is connected to each other | 21:28 |
| ryan__ | srm: have you followed a tutorial or just installed it with ndiswrapper? what distro are you running? | 21:28 |
| pike_ | what the heck is wubi like a qemu thing or does it actually partition and install? | 21:28 |
| DeltaUK | what is wubi? | 21:28 |
| santor | is anyone here running steam on wine? | 21:28 |
| PMantis | sethk: cat /etc/resolv.conf shows my domain and dns server (with blank line and comments from network manager) | 21:28 |
| ryan__ | lol. steam engine on wine? | 21:28 |
| Dr_willis | wubi i THOUGHT was the 'install ubuntu under windows' thing.. but i did NOT thinkit was on the default ubuntu cd's | 21:28 |
| ryan__ | man that would be insane. | 21:28 |
| thinh | while internet traffic goes to the router first before it actually goes to server machine | 21:28 |
| Dr_willis | !wubi | 21:28 |
| ubotu | wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html | 21:28 |
| srm | ryan__: i tried to follow the help.ubuntu files for wireless network. I'm using a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10 | 21:28 |
| santor | steam games | 21:28 |
| sethk | PMantis, if the route is correct, resolv.conf has to be correct. | 21:28 |
| DeltaUK | well it is on the cd | 21:28 |
| santor | steam the game platform | 21:28 |
| DeltaUK | its askin me to restart, but im geussin it wont install anything ? | 21:29 |
| santor | unless your into pirating or are on slow internet it is the best dam thing to come ot computer gaming | 21:29 |
| santor | but it doesn't seem to work well with wine | 21:29 |
| ryan__ | srm: are you getting my pms? | 21:29 |
| thinh | when my server is active it is listen to internet traffic but when it is in suspend mode it only listen to lan traffic anyone know a explaining to fix to it? | 21:29 |
| srm | ryan__: I tried with ndisgtk but it didn't work and there was no feedback, so i went to cli. | 21:30 |
| PMantis | sethk: I thought the config for routing was different than DNS | 21:30 |
| pike_ | DeltaUK: so im assuming looking at that that wubi creates a single file on windows and formats it ext3 or whatever, add an entry to windows boot and lets you boot into that file as you would an actual partition | 21:30 |
| Dr_willis | Now if ONLY steam would actually have a Decent (ie lower) price on their games you can buy.... | 21:30 |
| srm | ryan__: no, seems i don't receive them | 21:30 |
| sethk | PMantis, yes, it is, I misspoke | 21:30 |
| ryan__ | srm: you have msn or yahoo? | 21:30 |
| PMantis | sethk: heh ok | 21:30 |
| sethk | PMantis, do you have traceroute installed? | 21:30 |
| Dr_willis | I found BioShock on sale for $25 yesterday. :) | 21:30 |
| pike_ | DeltaUK: should be perfectly ok if you dont like it just delete the wubi folder in windows or run the uninstall | 21:30 |
| srm | ryan__: jabber | 21:30 |
| DeltaUK | k | 21:30 |
| DeltaUK | ty | 21:31 |
| santor | wow, thats a good deal | 21:31 |
| santor | you could buy it and activate it over steam | 21:31 |
| PMantis | sethk: This seems to be DNS only, but I'll try traceroute | 21:31 |
| santor | usually the price is really good on steam | 21:31 |
| sethk | PMantis, try the traceroute to the dns server | 21:31 |
| ryan__ | srm: whats your jabber address? | 21:31 |
| sethk | PMantis, if the dns specs are correct, maybe it can't figure out how to get to the dns server. | 21:31 |
| santor | but steam really throws a monkeywrench in pirating games | 21:31 |
| srm | ryan__: srm@schokokeks.org | 21:31 |
| sethk | PMantis, unlikely, but I can't think of anything else at the moment. | 21:31 |
| PMantis | sethk: :- | 21:32 |
| ryan__ | srm: ok well I don't have jabber, and it doesn't appear that you are getting my pms....but I got yours. | 21:32 |
| Dr_willis | santor, im mixxed on it.:) its noce to buy a game.. and not have to need the cd.. but given the size of some games... egads the download times. | 21:32 |
| PMantis | sethk: DNS, default gw, and this machine on same subnet | 21:32 |
| srm | ryan__: ok, then let me fire up another irc client. This is irssi on OSX speaking ;) | 21:32 |
| srm | brb | 21:32 |
| sethk | PMantis, well, so much for that theory. :) | 21:32 |
| ryan__ | srm: join #linuxreality and we can talk over there, it's pretty desolate, but it is quiet and i can give you instructions there | 21:32 |
| PMantis | sethk: heh | 21:33 |
| santor | yea i kno, they hardly get over 600k, and i'm on verizon fios, when i downloaded ubuntu my dl speed hit 2 mbps | 21:33 |
| santor | that is of course iwht bt | 21:33 |
| PMantis | sethk: This has me stumped... really weird | 21:33 |
| santor | bit torrent | 21:33 |
| ryan__ | srm: join #linuxreality | 21:34 |
| santor | steam should provide as much bandwidth for downloads and you can take, since they are charging for the games | 21:34 |
| Noble | where can i get nvidia tv out support? | 21:34 |
| santor | but thats irrelivent to making steam work well in wine | 21:34 |
| Dr_willis | Noble, install the nvidia drivers for a start. | 21:35 |
| PMantis | sethk: Uhm... traceroute is displaying all "* * *" for 16 lines so far.... | 21:35 |
| santor | i have found that the clicking is off, i have to click below any item in steam to actually click it | 21:35 |
| santor | any ideas? | 21:35 |
| erat123 | has anyone set up xming to work between windows and ubuntu? i would like some help on the ubuntu side. | 21:35 |
| PMantis | sethk: 22 | 21:35 |
| Dr_willis | erat123, i am using that right now. :) | 21:35 |
| sethk | PMantis, that's odd, if you are doing a traceroute to something on the local lan, it should show only two lines and no *** | 21:35 |
| Dr_willis | erat123, enable ssh, enable x forwarding by default in the ssh configs.. lets see.. you going to use xdmcp? | 21:35 |
| pike_ | !tvout | Noble | 21:36 |
| ubotu | Noble: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) | 21:36 |
| Noble | dr_willis... i have the nvidia drivers installed... for some reason they didn't load at my last bootup though and I was shocked how nice the image looks | 21:36 |
| erat123 | Dr_willis: yep, i'm trying to use xdmcp | 21:36 |
| PMantis | sethk: yet a ping to the gw/dns server is giving me .283 ms responses | 21:36 |
| meoblast001 | hello, im setting up ubuntu on my dad's computer and i need to get internet connection for it.... he has a Motorola WPCI810G wireless card..... im supposed to copy the files bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys from the windows partition but windows cannot find the files, where might i be able to obtain these files on the internet.... or just a complete linux driver? | 21:36 |
| erat123 | Dr_willis: how do i enable x forwarding by default? | 21:36 |
| erat123 | Dr_willis: i have ssh installed | 21:36 |
| Noble | pike... i can get tv out to work... i just find the nvidia output to actually look worse than the tv out put when i'm using vesa drivers | 21:36 |
| pcdog | moin... :) | 21:36 |
| PMantis | sethk: When on the USB lan, traceroute only showed one line. | 21:37 |
| Dr_willis | erat123, in the sshd config in /etc/ somewhere. :) | 21:37 |
| sethk | PMantis, well, then we may have a routing issue after all. | 21:37 |
| erat123 | Dr_willis: ah, thanks. that points me in the right direction | 21:37 |
| Dr_willis | erat123, in the sshd config in /etc/ somewhere. :) /etc/ssh/sshd_config" | 21:37 |
| cdemwel1 | Hi there | 21:37 |
| Aiyizo | how do you copy a file from one folder to another with admin permissions? | 21:37 |
| pike_ | meoblast001: if you are using ndiswrapper you may grab those files from the manufacturers website (the windows driver) | 21:37 |
| PMantis | sethk: I ran it with the -n switch so it would not resolve ips | 21:37 |
| margaret | stefg: manually install the nvidia package? | 21:38 |
| Dr_willis | erat123, X11Forwarding yes | 21:38 |
| sethk | PMantis, and ? | 21:38 |
| cdemwel1 | I'm trying to update-initramfs -u but it's not copying the firmware that I need for my wireless card with it | 21:38 |
| pike_ | margaret: http://pastebin.com/m60517e04 | 21:38 |
| ryan__ | Aiyizo: sudo cp /file/file /file/file | 21:38 |
| erat123 | Dr_willis: oh cool, that's set to yes | 21:38 |
| PMantis | sethk: That's when it gave me the 22 lies of stars | 21:38 |
| cdemwel1 | where and how does this get configured? | 21:38 |
| margaret | pike, ok, will try that | 21:38 |
| PMantis | sethk: Hmmmmmmm routing issue if I can telnet to a BBS on the internet by IP ? | 21:39 |
| sethk | PMantis, the -n switch makes it change the route? Without the -n switch might make sense. | 21:39 |
| Dr_willis | erat123, with xming, i also recall using the xming version of putty (i think) been a while since ive installed it. | 21:39 |
| sethk | PMantis, well, I still don't understand it, but at least we have a utility giving us a strange result | 21:39 |
| sx66xfce8525 | hi | 21:39 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: doesnt the manufacturer use .exe files? | 21:39 |
| sethk | PMantis, it's a clue, even though at the moment I'm clueless about what the clue means. | 21:39 |
| rambo3 | cdemwel1 firmware in initram ? you mean scipt that starts your wireless | 21:39 |
| cdemwel1 | no. | 21:39 |
| cdemwel1 | I mean firmware. | 21:39 |
| emily_ | i have an samba mount but in gnome it keeps losing connection to it...it works in a terminal, but file browser says "the folder contents could not be displayed". It will work for awhile and then just drop to that. This is happening randomly with both my ubuntu boxes...anyone know a fix? | 21:40 |
| CroX | Gnome keeps crashing for me for no apparent reason. I close a window, hover a tray icon, alt tabs to another window, etc. | 21:40 |
| PMantis | sethk: The traceroute manpage shows that -n tells it not to resolve the IPs of each hop. | 21:40 |
| CroX | Could anyone please help me find what's causing this? | 21:40 |
| sethk | PMantis, exactly, so that turns _off_ DNS activity. I'm trying to see how that can break something. | 21:40 |
| cdemwel1 | That is, /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/ipw3945.ucode | 21:40 |
| erat123 | Dr_willis: i'm looking for the xming version of putty now. i've just been using xming and putty as separate apps. is there one that's together? | 21:40 |
| bjwebb | hi | 21:40 |
| sp3000 | Stormx2: yeah, iftop jnettop pktstat looks useful -- and lsof -i of course for mapping to processes | 21:41 |
| bjwebb | ive screwed up apt (with KDE4 stuff) | 21:41 |
| Dr_willis | erat123, i belive at the xming download page. they have a specific one. not sure how its tweaked for them. | 21:41 |
| polla | !frostwire | 21:41 |
| ubotu | frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire | 21:41 |
| Stormx2 | sp3000: i used pktstat :) | 21:41 |
| bjwebb | how do i get it to foreably fix, removing packages? | 21:41 |
| erat123 | Dr_willis: oh cool, found it | 21:41 |
| pcdog | hey - anyone here uses DRBD? have a bit of a problem here which would be a one-liner to solve, I'm sure | 21:41 |
| PMantis | sethk: there's one other weird thing... ndiswrapper has this NIC loaded as wlan0... I SWEAR it's wired! I'm looking at the cat5 cable! :) | 21:41 |
| Aiyizo | thanks ryan__ | 21:41 |
| sethk | PMantis, I've never heard of using ndiswrapper with a wired connection, but I suppose it's possibly necessary. | 21:42 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: the manufacturer no longer has drivers for that device | 21:42 |
| linux88 | PMantis cant you change the interface name from wlan0 to something else? | 21:42 |
| bjwebb | can someone help? | 21:42 |
| BotoXxX | wie komm ich in den Deutsche Ubuntu chat ? | 21:43 |
| PMantis | sethk: There was a wiki page on it. As far as changing the name, I'd love to... ideas? I've looked at /etc/network/* ndiswrapper configs... | 21:43 |
| bjwebb | !ubuntu-de | 21:43 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-de - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:43 |
| pike_ | meoblast001: well thats not ideal.. | 21:43 |
| bjames | is ndiswrapper known to be unstable in Ubuntu 7.10? | 21:43 |
| margaret | pike, at step 4, it says I have to shutdown the X server | 21:43 |
| BotoXxX | !ubuntu-de | 21:43 |
| bjwebb | !de | BotoXxX | 21:43 |
| ubotu | BotoXxX: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de | 21:43 |
| sethk | PMantis, generally you use ndiswrapper because a driver specific to your hardware is unavailable. Is that the case here? | 21:43 |
| Dr_willis | erat123, they got a channel it seems #xming also here. :) | 21:43 |
| BotoXxX | thanks | 21:44 |
| pike_ | margaret: yeah but i dont think you need to do that you already dont have x working | 21:44 |
| linux88 | bjames its working perfectly for me | 21:44 |
| erat123 | Dr_willis: oh cool. thanks for all your help! | 21:44 |
| margaret | pike_: aren't I running X now? | 21:44 |
| pike_ | margaret: you're in X? i thought you were at command line | 21:44 |
| CaBa\ | does anyone have a clue why my display brightness (laptop) is reduced to minimum when i start video playback in vlc since gutsy? | 21:44 |
| sp3000 | so I have this window placement issue now after upgrade to gutsy, if there's no empty or an app-persisted position, all windows appear at top left :( i.e. the cascade is being broken | 21:45 |
| margaret | pike_: no, I'm running 1024x768 | 21:45 |
| bjames | linux88: I got it working fine on 6.06, then upgraded and it's very buggy (locks the whole laptop). I tried installing 7.10, but it's still locking | 21:45 |
| bjwebb | how do i get it to foreably fix apt, removing packages? | 21:45 |
| margaret | restored old xorg.conf | 21:45 |
| pike_ | margaret: in any case sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop wont hurt anything just make sure you copy down the steps first since youll lose gui | 21:45 |
| sp3000 | (metacity, no, effects fanciness) | 21:45 |
| PMantis | sethk: Ubuntu live CD doesn't recognize it, after install, no dice... google search talked about ndiswrapper for the SiS 191 | 21:45 |
| sp3000 | s/no,/no/ | 21:45 |
| pike_ | margaret: the sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to start back up | 21:45 |
| margaret | I got steps 1-3 done | 21:46 |
| margaret | now I have to get a pen | 21:46 |
| margaret | this is nuts | 21:46 |
| sp3000 | I tested thata it does happen with a fresh new user as well so it's not crufty user settings either | 21:46 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: the driver is an executable file.... should i run it then find the files? | 21:46 |
| randomoutburst | can someone look at this screen shot and tell me how to fix my desktop? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/dbass1337/Screenshot.png | 21:46 |
| === viper_ is now known as bortex | ||
| pike_ | meoblast001: yeah easiest maybe just to run it in windows then do a search for the files | 21:46 |
| pike_ | randomoutburst: alt-ctrl-backspace? ;-p | 21:47 |
| Mark761966 | I can't get Simdock or AWN to display :( | 21:47 |
| ryan__ | randomoutburst: that is Ksnapshot | 21:47 |
| ryan__ | Mark761966: you have to have a 3d engine like beryl installed to use awn | 21:47 |
| Mark761966 | I do | 21:47 |
| sethk | PMantis, ok, I guess you are stuck with it. I don't know enough about ndiswrapper to know how to tell it that this is a wired connection. When ndiswrapper is running, is wlan0 the device for the default route? | 21:47 |
| PMantis | sethk: There is an SIS190.ko, so I'll add that to /etc/modules, and reboot to see. | 21:48 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: k i did.. and miraculously the files are there | 21:48 |
| linux88 | bjames wow, sorry to hear. Ya this is my first time with it, so im not that familiar with it. I wonder why it locks | 21:48 |
| Mark761966 | It displayed for about a minute and then it disappeared | 21:48 |
| krimx | My harddrive sounds like those tubes at the edges of houses when it's raining, I can't remember it sounding like that before but after 11 days of nonstop uploading at 10Mbit/s it's started. Think it's dying? | 21:48 |
| ryan__ | Mark761966: do you have beryl or compiz installed, and your graphics card cofigured properly? | 21:48 |
| snikker | someone know how to configure horde? i've installed it, but i can't login... | 21:48 |
| PMantis | sethk: Yes, it sets up wlan0 in routes... ifconfig -a shows only lo and wlan0 | 21:48 |
| Mark761966 | Yeah | 21:48 |
| bjames | I've also got another problem - the screen is blank between BIOS and x | 21:48 |
| ferronica | On Ups Power, I check off Enable Ups Discharge Alarm then I hit close.. when I reopen that same menu the option is not checked.. what's going on? I have restarted the apc service a couple of times.. but it's still unchecked whenever I look at it | 21:48 |
| bjames | i.e. the boot sequence is not cisible | 21:49 |
| Mark761966 | I'm sure I have the graphics card configured properly | 21:49 |
| ryan__ | Mark761966: how did you install awn, through repos or compile from source? | 21:49 |
| Mark761966 | Source | 21:49 |
| randomoutburst | yeah alt ctr backspace didnt do the trick.... | 21:49 |
| Mark761966 | It's not in the repos | 21:49 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: also i cant get ndiswrapper because his wireless card is not working yet... should i download the .deb to his windows partition while im on it? | 21:49 |
| ryan__ | Mark761966: I had the same problem. | 21:49 |
| Mark761966 | How did you solve it Ryan? | 21:49 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: if so... whats the URL to the Canonical repository | 21:49 |
| PMantis | sethk: Hmmm | 21:49 |
| ryan__ | Mark761966: Install it from the repos, after you uninstall it. | 21:49 |
| Mark761966 | Okay | 21:49 |
| ryan__ | Mark761966: Yeah it annoyed me to death. I finally buckled and found a repo online. | 21:50 |
| pike_ | meoblast001: yeah packages.ubuntu.com and search for it it will also have dependancy packages if there are any | 21:50 |
| ryan__ | Mark761966: I can go fetch it for ya if you want. | 21:50 |
| pike_ | meoblast001: it may be on the cd though not sure | 21:50 |
| cdemwel1 | well thanks | 21:50 |
| randomoutburst | i think its set for 1024x768 but my desktop resolution 1280x800 | 21:50 |
| Mark761966 | Yes please Ryan | 21:50 |
| Mark761966 | 64bit? | 21:50 |
| sp3000 | bjames: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon/ReleaseNotes at bottom mentions one such thing | 21:51 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: yay.... i remember when i did this dependency searching stuff back on my Fedora Server | 21:51 |
| ryan__ | Mark761966: Not sure about 64bit. I am using 32 here. | 21:51 |
| meoblast001 | thats always fun | 21:51 |
| randomoutburst | so can someone tell me how to change my settings so i can use all of my screen? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/dbass1337/Screenshot.png | 21:51 |
| PMantis | sethk: I loaded sis190.ko, and it fails the probe... I checked the ID with lspci, and it's looking at the right device... so I dunno. | 21:51 |
| * sp3000 /actually read/ relnotes /before upgrade/, can you believe that | 21:51 | |
| pike_ | meoblast001: i dont think it will be bad | 21:52 |
| sethk | PMantis, fails with what message? | 21:52 |
| Xess | hello. | 21:52 |
| PMantis | sethk: in dmesg: sis190: probe of 000:00:04.0 failed with error -5 | 21:52 |
| ryan__ | Mark761966: ok I found a repo | 21:52 |
| adamorjames | hello | 21:52 |
| ryan__ | for 64bit and 32bit | 21:52 |
| randomoutburst | anyone know of anything i can try? | 21:52 |
| sethk | PMantis, and that PCI designation is what shows up in lspci? | 21:53 |
| PMantis | sethk: I wonder if this module accepts parameters. | 21:53 |
| PMantis | sethk: yes | 21:53 |
| Mark761966 | I know what the problem is now, Ryan | 21:53 |
| ryan__ | Mark761966: whats the problem? | 21:53 |
| sethk | PMantis, might accept parameters. only way to know is to find some docs or read the source code. | 21:53 |
| PMantis | sethk: Well, a shorter version shows in lspci | 21:53 |
| Mark761966 | It only seems to show up if I have the windows manager set to transparency | 21:53 |
| sethk | randomoutburst, set your virtual resolution to be the same as your physical resolution. | 21:53 |
| randomoutburst | and how do i do that? | 21:54 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: is modprobe preinstalled into ubuntu? | 21:54 |
| sethk | PMantis, right, but the 04.0 is correct | 21:54 |
| PMantis | sethk: lspci: 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon... | 21:54 |
| meoblast001 | havent used it in forever so i dont know | 21:54 |
| ryan__ | Mark761966: odd | 21:54 |
| sethk | randomoutburst, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:54 |
| Mark761966 | Very | 21:54 |
| sethk | PMantis, close enough :) | 21:54 |
| yaser | where can i get help on configuring my nvidia graphic card? | 21:54 |
| PMantis | sethk: right | 21:54 |
| Mark761966 | Maybe if I install the 64bit version it'll work better | 21:54 |
| PMantis | sethk: On another note, at least my new Acer 22" widescreen LCD is great! | 21:55 |
| pike_ | meoblast001: yes | 21:55 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: i cant find the package at packages.ubuntu.com | 21:55 |
| Mark761966 | You wanna give me those repos, Ryan? | 21:55 |
| riaal | whats it called when you do system("lsmod") from a C program? | 21:55 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: i ran a search on the package and found it | 21:55 |
| jmauler | Im trying to do an alternative instalation of jdk1.6, and I would like to know how I can make my export configs like export PATH be availabe for the entire system instead of for just my current shell, Can anyone help me ? | 21:55 |
| adamorjames | gtk-recordMyDesktop doesn't record the sound. I have the check box marked. I opened gstreamer-properties and it says I am using alsasink hw:0.0 for the output. So I went in gtk-recordMyDesktop's advanced settings and I changed the sound to hw:0,0. Still nothing... anyone can help? | 21:56 |
| pike_ | meoblast001: yeah i think all you need is ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils maybe but i have zero exp using it | 21:56 |
| PMantis | sethk: I'll use the other NIC and install all the updates, to see | 21:56 |
| steve__ | any video teleconferencing users out there that have got openmcu running with ekiga? | 21:56 |

| meoblast001 | ill still be here but that system will have no connection | 21:57 |
| pike_ | margaret: cool good luck | 21:58 |
| PMantis | sethk: This little Acre PC was a Circuit City doorbuster for black friday. $229 A.R... All the other SiS chips are working... sound, video, SATA, USB, Card Reader slots... only the NIC is an issue. | 21:58 |
| pike_ | meoblast001: i believe so | 21:58 |
| zeroflag | sometimes (30-50% chance to happen...) when I stop playback in a media player or some sound finished playing I get rather loud white noise on the sound channel. this noise can only be stopped by a) playing another sound and hoping it goes into the other 50% or b) by playing a sound in a media player and instead of stopping the track, just pausing it. any suggestions on how to fix that? currently using HD onboard sound on a nforce630a board (gigab | 21:58 |
| margaret | pike_: do I try to reconfigure xorg again? | 21:58 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: ok | 21:58 |
| pike_ | margaret: yeah but first just try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart the better res's might be setup by the nvidia installer | 21:58 |

| yaser | hay, i have just installed gutsy, then my NVidia 8600GT, all perfect. When i reboot i can start Xserver, i sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server with nv driver and everything is fine, with nvidia driver it doesnt start, i was working perfectly prior to reinstall with aceleration and all that stuff, what can i do? | 22:03 |
| pike_ | pythondasnake: see pidgin | 22:03 |
| pike_ | !pidgin | 22:03 |
| ubotu | pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It is available in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but not previous versions. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0 | 22:03 |
| bjames | pythondasnake: try pidgin | 22:03 |
| pike_ | pythondasnake: oh.. yahoo not sure | 22:03 |
| RequinB4 | pythondasnake - pidgin | 22:03 |
| pythondasnake | I'm using pidgin as we speak .. | 22:03 |
| pythondasnake | but didn't see a yahoo protocol for it | 22:04 |
| bjames | so am I ;) | 22:04 |
| RequinB4 | pythondasnake - if you prefer firefox like me try www.meebo.com | 22:04 |
| Ashex | pythondasnake, take a look here for linux equivelants to windows software: http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/11/22/windows-software-linux-software/ | 22:04 |
| RequinB4 | broswer based so you don't mess it up | 22:04 |
| joeb3_ | pythondasnake, pidgin does yahoo | 22:04 |
| bjames | it DOES support yahoo | 22:04 |
| pythondasnake | Yeah I use meebo but .. | 22:04 |
| RequinB4 | and pidgin should do yahoo | 22:04 |
| jmauler | I tried to change /etc/enviroment, but the changes didnt work | 22:04 |

| RequinB4 | sorry not directed to you python | 22:05 |
| pythondasnake | The installer I got of the net for yahoo Dr_willis | 22:05 |
| adamorjames | desertc: could it be related to mplayer having a codec error? | 22:06 |
| thompa | total lockup while listening to rythmbox and using ktorrent, nothing in the logs? | 22:06 |
| Dr_willis | pythondasnake, Still not sure what you mean.. if you mean the Official Yahoo (from yahoo.com ) chat program. Its so old its scary. You can install pidgin with the packatge manager, and it should have yahoo support in there. | 22:06 |
| jmauler | robdig: The file description says it is for shell initialization.. | 22:06 |
| disc | How do I turn off Alt+mouseclicking? | 22:06 |
| pythondasnake | I basically want to know if most applications will run on UBUNTU that I currently use now.. Such as the Text editor I use to write code in for Java or Python ? | 22:06 |
| adamorjames | desertc: mplayer says cannot open codec | 22:07 |
| Swian | python pretty much anything you use has a linux version | 22:07 |
| adamorjames | desertc: but it still plays | 22:07 |
| Swian | text edit, check | 22:07 |
| jmauler | robdig: So I dont know if I start from gnome it will work | 22:07 |
| pythondasnake | Ok.. | 22:07 |
| Swian | yahoo client check | 22:07 |
| pythondasnake | Perhaps Yahelite would work | 22:07 |
| RequinB4 | anyone want to help me fix pidgin - it won't connect to anything | 22:07 |
| Sajes | Anyone know why I received this error when compiling WINE from source? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45730/ (Gutsy Gibbon 32Bit) | 22:08 |

| pythondasnake | Ok.. | 22:08 |

| zeroflag | Sajes: get the package. | 22:08 |
| pike_ | margaret: what happened? worst case just upgrade to latest ubuntu | 22:08 |

| sp3000 | disc: how did you turn it on? | 22:10 |
| yaser | lufis, not now | 22:10 |
| disc | it was there by default, using ubuntu with gnome | 22:10 |
| pike_ | margaret: once i know your version ill just give you a one liner to upgrade to latest and see if that works | 22:10 |
| lufis | yaser: you can set the xorg file back to default in the command line | 22:10 |
| kitche | disc: recompile the window manager most likely or disable the shortcut if it is a shortcut | 22:10 |
| Pici | disc: If nobody is answering, nobody knows. | 22:11 |
| margaret | pike_: 7.04 | 22:11 |

| Dr_willis | disc, could also check in #gnome - i dont use gnome.. and dont know what you are refring to.. so good luck | 22:11 |
| yaser | lufis, yea i did, but im using nv driver instead of nvidia | 22:11 |
| zeroflag | Sajes: talking about the wine package. if that error doesn't tell you anything, you better not mess with source. OpenGL is usually delivered via VGA drivers. so if you have a nvidia card, get their package from restricted (I think it's uni/multiverse), if it's ATi, you might be screwed but you should still be able to find a driver package. | 22:11 |

| andy_123 | sp3000, when i try to retrieve my mail, i'm getting this error | 22:14 |
| yaser | jimmy_, but now, do you have graphics aceleration? compiz or something? | 22:14 |
| zeroflag | Sajes: that means opengl is installed. | 22:14 |
| zeroflag | Sajes: honestly, get the wine package. | 22:14 |
| andy_123 | i have another system weith another linux distro setup exactly the same way and there it works | 22:14 |
| andy_123 | is this a bug ? | 22:15 |

| jimmy_ | yaser: not sure to be honest, but my games (world of warcraft and guildwars) run a LOT better than on windows anyway :P | 22:15 |
| Sajes | zeroflag: I already tried that before, and it installs but it plays starcraft like it was on emulated vram. If it can't find opengl then it has to be why it's lagging even with the .deb package. | 22:15 |
| meoblast001 | pike_: so do i skip the sudo modprobe -r bcmwl5 step? | 22:15 |
| andy_123 | anyone using evolution with local delivery? | 22:15 |

| andy_123 | oki, looks llike this is a bug | 22:17 |
| MuffY | yaser: just copy the WoW folder from a windows partition, or install it under wine | 22:17 |
| jimmy_ | yaser: getting wow to work under wine was serious effort for me, but I found a good guide here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-games-33/world-of-warcraft-in-wine-success-485886/ | 22:17 |

| sp3000 | so would someone with gutsy and a rather crowded display open a few apps -> utils -> terminal and tell me how they get positioned in relation to each other | 22:18 |
| sp3000 | because here they all end up at top left which is a bit sad | 22:18 |
| yaser | MuffY, jimmy_ thanks very much ill try it | 22:18 |
| jimmy_ | yaser: best thing to do, is install it and update it on your windows partition, use winecfg to map "D" to /media/sda2 or whatever the windows drive is, then run it as "wine "D\world of warcraft\Wow.exe"-opengl" | 22:18 |
| MuffY | yaser: ah well, I think you should look at that. I remember I had to make a launcher with some simple bash line to start wine with the right parameters | 22:18 |
| _michael | Hello I'm looking to upgrade to Gutsy, but I certainly don't want the full contents of the ubuntu-desktop meta package. Is there a way to go about the upgrade only upgrading packages I currently have installed? | 22:18 |

| zeroflag | Sajes: starcraft is a really old game that already worked nicely back when broodwar came out. so unless you have REALLY old hardware, I'd say something else than wine is wrong. | 22:19 |
| RequinB4 | starcraft doesn't work on Xp sometimes now | 22:19 |
| sp3000 | RequinB4: on top of other windows or in empty space? what about when there's no empty space? windowmanager (metacity)? effects on (no)? | 22:19 |
| Xess | Yeah. I am not getting any where on my wireless. I could really use some help on it. | 22:19 |
| xeer | hi everyone! i'm having problems logging into my desktop. if i switch the session to failsafe gnome, it loads my startup applications but my panel and desktop wont load. if i try to login normally, it lags for about 20 seconds and then kicks me back to the login screen (looks like it's restarting gdm) | 22:19 |

| kinroad | jimmy_: how can guild wars run better than in windows? I have cedega and it lags and crashes | 22:20 |
| RequinB4 | sp3000 - its a magical land of milk and honey | 22:21 |
| zeroflag | Sajes: this should be more than enough - especially since starcraft does NOT use ANY 3D features. you should check the appdb on winehq. | 22:21 |
| sp3000 | RequinB4: oh, I thought is was a magical land of dragons | 22:21 |
| RequinB4 | took me a little bit to get it towrking with my integrated stuff | 22:21 |

| eclipse7500 | the module is loaded, yet it doesnt play back any audio, i have everything unmuted. i read to try pci=noacpi in the boot options, still no luck though | 22:23 |
| zeroflag | Sajes: again, check the appdb. I got it working nicely here, straight from apt. | 22:23 |
| kinroad | jimmy_: no, does it help? | 22:23 |
| eclipse7500 | ive been reading about possibly a conflict with the irqs | 22:23 |
| matthew_ | help! i uninstalled compiz / desktop effects and not my windows don't have a border!! what do I do??! I don't want desktop effects, I just want normal metacity | 22:23 |
| Sajes | zeroflag: I know it runs in wine. Checking the appdb will not make wine detect that opengl libraries are on my PC. | 22:24 |
| jimmy_ | kinroad: possibly, try using opengl and see if you have the same issue | 22:24 |
| RequinB4 | eclipse - stab in the dark try acpi=off rather then pci=noacpi | 22:24 |
| xeer | i'm having problems logging into my desktop. if i switch the session to failsafe gnome, it loads my startup applications but my panel and desktop wont load. if i try to login normally, it lags for about 20 seconds and then kicks me back to the login screen (looks like it's restarting gdm) | 22:25 |

| andy_123 | is it possible to run thinderbird with local mail delivery? | 22:26 |
| kinroad | jimmy_: it helped! Thanks a lot! It runs 50 fps with full graphics :D | 22:26 |
| Moniker42 | can i set the resolution of the console i get when i use ctrl-alt-f1? | 22:26 |
| jimmy_ | kinroad: nice one, have fun :D | 22:26 |
| RequinB4 | eclipse7500 - i'm running it right now to fix my sound actually, it should take away your power management/battery life stuff tho | 22:26 |
| zeroflag | Sajes: since I had to check the appdb for you AND find EXACTLY your problem described there in a HUGE, impossible-to-miss blue box, I will NOT post the link for you - lazy &^#&^@! | 22:26 |

| Sajes | zeroflag: If you're talking about "Cure for Slowness", then obviously you've completely mistook the problem. Let me walk you through this. Wine can't find opengl libraries. I can't edit a registry if there isn't one. If I can't compile wine, how would it install. Furthermore, the debian package, and the apt repository have the same problem on my machine. | 22:32 |

| RoyK | ? | 23:04 |
| macogw | mirak: though actually sunbird 0.7 doesnt work for me done that way. could just be my computer, though. i tried compiling it from source and that didnt work either, but compiling works for the mozilla folks which is why i think it's just my box | 23:04 |
| Fezzler | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45735/ | 23:04 |
| macogw | mirak: thunderbird is available from getdeb.net | 23:04 |
| thinh | all the service has not started yet when i am at the login screen? | 23:04 |

| HoudiniMan | hey bunters - unrelated question but you guys rock - i need to recommend a spam filter of some sort to a client, anybody have suggestions? | 23:06 |
| RequinB4 | rainCT - make sure all your outstanding updates are done | 23:06 |
| macogw | mirak: the reason there's different versions is that while mozilla releases the same versions for linux, what's in the ubuntu repositories might be different because those dont get upgraded for new verisons, just for security updates | 23:06 |
| sidncoke | lol @ macogw | 23:06 |
| macogw | sidncoke: i'm not joking | 23:06 |
| sidncoke | it works that way but no GL | 23:06 |
| systest | how do I permanently disable the avahi IP daemon, short of removing the package? | 23:06 |
| === allbert is now known as allbert_ | ||
| macogw | sidncoke: it has 3d | 23:06 |
| sidncoke | it uses the experimental intel driver | 23:06 |
| macogw | sidncoke: yes. which has 3d | 23:06 |
| mirak | macogw: I know, I had a long discution with Amaranth about that ... | 23:07 |
| sidncoke | not with me | 23:07 |
| macogw | sidncoke: you could also use the i810 driver. both have 3d perfectly. | 23:07 |
| sidncoke | not even chess works in 3d | 23:07 |
| macogw | sidncoke: chess isnt a 3d game, afaik... | 23:07 |
| sidncoke | it does have a 3d option | 23:07 |
| macogw | sidncoke: are you sure your xorg.conf says intel not vesa? | 23:07 |
| sidncoke | yup | 23:07 |
| macogw | sidncoke: i dont trust the gui setup thing. it's lied to me on what driver is in use before | 23:08 |
| sidncoke | I tried changing it through system settings to 945 and it wouldn't boot | 23:08 |
| macogw | sidncoke: there isnt a 945 driver | 23:08 |
| macogw | sidncoke: there's i810 which works for all intel before 965 | 23:08 |
| sidncoke | there is in my distribution | 23:08 |
| macogw | sidncoke: and there's intel which works for all of them | 23:08 |
| panfist | hey im using an hp laptop and i was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to get this to resume from standby and hibernate | 23:09 |
| macogw | panfist: if you have nvidia or ati, you need to stop using the binary drivers (which means you cant have 3d). yell at ati and nvidia if you dont like that | 23:09 |
| mirak | macogw: I suggested that maybe Ubuntu should do a release once in a year of the base OS, and let client applications upgrades enter continually in the repositories | 23:10 |
| macogw | mirak: there are rolling-release distros. arch comes to mind | 23:10 |
| slimjimflim | when i play movies/music my audio is all poppy/scratchy. how can i fix this? | 23:10 |
| panfist | macogw i dont care if i have 3d or not...how do i check which drivers im using and then maybe switch? | 23:10 |
| sidncoke | macogw: will figure it out but one more question.....what good applications can I find for a Digital DJ on linux? | 23:10 |
| macogw | sidncoke: there's also a i740, but ive never used it | 23:10 |
| macogw | sidncoke: digital dj? what's that? | 23:10 |
| macogw | panfist: system > admin > screens & graphics | 23:11 |
| sidncoke | like traktor dj studio and ableton live on windows and mac | 23:11 |
| mirak | macogw: I will check that, but well only ubuntu suits me on the philosphy of user friendlyness, package availability etcetera | 23:11 |
| sfchrisjacob | hey... I use an app at work that is a front end to apt that installs a couple new repositories and allows me to easily install 3rd party apps and codecs and such. Problem is, I am at home and can't remember the name. Anyone have any idea? | 23:11 |
| macogw | sidncoke: uh....is that an mp3 player? | 23:11 |
| macogw | sfchrisjacob: synaptic package manager? | 23:11 |
| sidncoke | sorta mimics a dj setup but on a pc | 23:11 |
| macogw | sfchrisjacob: or the add/remove? | 23:11 |
| macogw | sidncoke: oh. no idea | 23:11 |
| sfchrisjacob | macogw: nah this one automatically adds 3rd party sources | 23:12 |
| panfist | macogw which driver should i choose for an old radeon mobility 7000 | 23:12 |
| Pici | sidncoke: You might ask in #ubuntustudio, they probably know. | 23:12 |
| macogw | sfchrisjacob: are you talking about the system-breaking automatix? | 23:12 |
| wraund | hi guys, how do i find out my mates graphics card with the lspci command, lspci | grep gfx? | 23:12 |
| Scunizi | Anyone know of a program like "messenger" from efax.com/j2.com that allows multipage tiff editing ie. inserting text, graphic stamps w/transparancy, shapes etc? | 23:12 |
| sidncoke | can't find anything worht while on linux for professional audio creation and manipulation | 23:12 |
| sfchrisjacob | macogw: yes I am | 23:12 |
| Pici | !automatix | sfchrisjacob | 23:12 |
| ubotu | sfchrisjacob: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 23:12 |
| macogw | wraund: just do lspci and read what it says. you should be able to tell which one is video | 23:12 |
| sfchrisjacob | macogw: I take it it is frowned upon around here | 23:12 |
| macogw | sfchrisjacob: yes. very. | 23:13 |
| mirak | macogw: unfortunely I also need to install the thunderbird binary, because lightning is not compatible with my 64 bit version | 23:13 |
| sfchrisjacob | heh... ok... thanks all | 23:13 |
| macogw | mirak: thunderbird binary is on getdeb.net | 23:13 |
| slimjimflim | sfchrisjacob http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources | 23:13 |
| mirak | macogw: I didn't knew this site | 23:13 |
| Mark761966 | GAH! It's bloody cold | 23:14 |
| macogw | panfist: i dont know. i think that's new enough that you cant use the open source ati driver, but i guess you could try it. otherwise, vesa should work fine | 23:14 |
| ghostknife | How can I set shortcut keys for more than one desktop. The GUI interface in "System->Preferences" only allow for 2 desktops | 23:14 |
| mirak | macogw: what is the interest of this website in fact ? | 23:15 |
| slimjimflim | sfchrisjacob just do it manually | 23:15 |
| macogw | mirak: it provides packages for ubuntu for programs not found in ubuntu's repos or updated versions of low-priority programs | 23:15 |
| Shao` | Hm, maybe someone here knows.. I'm running 7.10 and I have a HP PSC 1110 scanner/printer, when trying to scan with xsane, it just locks up, any ideas? I've tried setting cupsd in aa-complain as suggested in a bugzilla | 23:15 |

| zejosh | H | 23:16 |
| sidncoke | Any good pointers to resources for audio production on ubuntu? | 23:16 |
| mirak | macogw: ok that's what I am looking for then | 23:16 |
| thinh | anyone know if you have to be logged in for nxserver to work or openssh? | 23:16 |
| macogw | sfchrisjacob: system > admin > software sources is an easy way to add repos | 23:16 |
| macogw | thinh: not for openssh | 23:16 |
| mirak | macogw: maybe someday it will be a ubuntu official unofficial repository ^^ | 23:16 |
| thinh | it seems like when i logged out at the login screen is the ssh running? | 23:17 |
| macogw | sidncoke: try #ubuntustudio they're audio people | 23:17 |
| macogw | thinh: it starts running at boot, i think | 23:17 |
| slimjimflim | does anyone have any experience w/ postfix/dovecot? | 23:17 |
| sidncoke | thanx macogw | 23:17 |
| Arrick | hey all, whats the command to reconfigure x in the 6.01 server? | 23:17 |
| macogw | thinh: you can stop it with "sudo /etc/init.d/sshd stop" | 23:17 |
| macogw | Arrick: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 23:17 |
| abcde_ | I set Totem's output to "X Window System (No XV)" but the video doesn't stay in the window. If for example, I rotate the cube, the video stays where it would be if I wasn't rotating. Any ideas? | 23:18 |

| macogw | thinh: er....ok this might sound dumb, but do you have openssh-server on YOUR box or the one you're trying to reach? | 23:18 |
| Arrick | thanks though | 23:18 |
| thinh | yeah | 23:18 |
| * Pelo just killed a 30 uptime for no good reason, at least he managed to recover from his cockup | 23:18 | |
| slimjimflim | thinh, can you get a shell via 'ctr alt f2' or any other 'f' keys? | 23:18 |
| thinh | i tried it before i left | 23:18 |
| macogw | Arrick: either 6.06 (2006, 6th month) or 6.10 (2006, 10th month) | 23:19 |
| thinh | yeah | 23:19 |
| Arrick | 6.06 | 23:19 |
| macogw | thinh: which one? | 23:19 |
| Arrick | thats it | 23:19 |
| thinh | openssh -server openssh-client | 23:19 |
| macogw | thinh: no, which box? | 23:19 |
| panfist | macogw i chose vesa from the list and clicked "test" and i got a black screen for a while then back to normal and the screens and graphics screen is closed | 23:19 |
| macogw | thinh: if it's on the computer you're ssh-ing *from* that's no good | 23:19 |
| slimjimflim | ya | 23:20 |
| macogw | panfist: O_o vesa is supposed to work for everything | 23:20 |
| thinh | it on the machine i am trying to ssh into | 23:20 |
| macogw | thinh: ok | 23:20 |
| macogw | thinh: just checking. i could really easily see someone doing it backwards and being confused | 23:20 |
| ADemiG0D | i'm starting fresh on my laptop, i want to dual boot windows and ubuntu | 23:20 |
| ADemiG0D | how should i setup the partitions? | 23:20 |
| slimjimflim | thinh, can you get a shell via 'ctr alt f2' or any other 'f' keys? | 23:20 |
| thinh | i have port forwarding on the router and i setup firestarter to allow port 22 | 23:20 |
| macogw | ADemiG0D: do partitions before you install anything. then install windows. then install ubuntu | 23:20 |
| thinh | slim yeah | 23:20 |
| Arrick | ok, I forgot macogw, lol, I dont have x on this, how do I get the whole screen to show in a VM? | 23:20 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0D, what ever you want for windows, for ubuntu 5-10 gig for / , 2xram for swap the rest for /home , | 23:20 |
| slimjimflim | thinh, can you `ssh localhost`? | 23:21 |
| tafsen | After I return from suspend-to-ram everything is messed up with weird colours and stripes, and I have to restart X. How can I fix this? | 23:21 |
| thinh | yeah | 23:21 |
| zejosh | penis | 23:21 |
| ADemiG0D | what formats? | 23:21 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0D, make at least two partitions to begin with then install windows , install ubuntu last | 23:21 |
| macogw | Arrick: you can't reconfigure X without having X installed | 23:21 |
| thinh | the weird thing is i can ssh into my machine when i am on the same lan no problem | 23:21 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0D, ntfs for windows, / and /home ext3, and swap will have to be linux-swap | 23:21 |
| thinh | it when i go outside my lan i cant ssh to it | 23:21 |
| Pockets | a question: how to set a hotkey to open a terminal? | 23:21 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0D, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel | 23:21 |
| Arrick | yeah I realize that macogw thats why I lol'd, I cant get the whole screen on the termanl login to show in a vm | 23:21 |
| slimjimflim | thinh, when you're outside of your lan, are you using the ip or the domain name (if that applies) | 23:22 |
| Pelo | Pockets, gnome terminal or consol ? | 23:22 |
| ADemiG0D | pelo, i need / and /home ext3? | 23:22 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0D, don,t need but prefered by ubuntu | 23:22 |
| thinh | i have setup a dyndns for it | 23:22 |
| macogw | ADemiG0D: i suggest making a small partition for windows' system files (NTFS formatted), a small one for ubuntu system files (that's called / and should be ext3 formatted), and then a large one for your files (FAT32 if you have Vista or ext3 with fs-driver.org's driver for windows), then like 1GB of swap | 23:22 |
| Pockets | hmm the one that is in aplications->accesories | 23:22 |
| slimjimflim | thinh, fun stuff. try doing it with the ip | 23:22 |
| Pockets | dont know if its gnome or console | 23:22 |
| Pelo | Pockets, menu > system > prefs, > keyboard shortcuts, just put in gnome-terminal | 23:22 |
| macogw | Pockets: it's gnome-terminal | 23:22 |
| thinh | i get a respond when i set respond to ping on my router for security reason i turn it off for now | 23:22 |
| gerg | after I get to the ubuntu login screen (which displays correctly), my display shrinks and becomes unusable. is there anyway to troubleshoot this? | 23:22 |
| zejosh | penis and pie. | 23:22 |

| Scunizi | I got my Graphire4 working after installing the wacom-tools and associated files. However I'm using the latest ver. of Gimp from repos of Ubuntu 7.10. I don't see anywhere to change the cursor orientation ie, screen, window, desktop like there was in Ubuntu 6.06. Can anyone look at my xorg and see if I'm missing something that's needed for Gimp to allow changes? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45736/ | 23:23 |
| thinh | the thing is it dynamically so it change all the time that why i have setup a dynamic dns on the router | 23:23 |
| ADemiG0D | how muck for / and /home ext3? | 23:23 |
| slimjimflim | thinh, don't ping, just ssh to your router's ip. if port forwarding is configured right | 23:23 |
| macogw | ADemiG0D: if you make /home be ext3 and use fs-driver.org's driver windows xp can access it. if you have vista, use fat32 for /home | 23:24 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0D, use the ubuntu live cd to split your hdd in two , then isntal windows on the first partiton, | 23:24 |
| slimjimflim | thinh, log into the router and check the ip if you have to | 23:24 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0D, ntfs for windows, / and /home ext3, and swap will have to be linux-swap | 23:24 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0D, what ever you want for windows, for ubuntu 5-10 gig for / , 2xram for swap the rest for /home , | 23:24 |
| Amaranth | ADemiG0D: / should be about 8G, /home is however much you want | 23:24 |
| macogw | ADemiG0D: if you intend to install a lot of stuff, 10GB for ubuntu is what i usually do | 23:24 |

| ejandi | how to add packages in a folder to synaptic package manager | 23:24 |

| macogw | ejandi: what? | 23:24 |
| ADemiG0D | thanks | 23:24 |

| ADemiG0D | for burning ubuntu does it have to be on dvd or is it small enough for a cd? | 23:28 |
| slimjimflim | thinh, on your lan, all the computer(s) behind your router, the different boxes have separate, private ips. the router has a public one. make sure the computer in question has a STATIC LOCAL ip. also make sure your router is configured for port forwarding for ssh | 23:28 |
| macogw | ejandi: if you have a deb and you just install it with gdebi (by double clicking on the deb), it'll show up in synaptic after it's installed so you can use synaptic to uninstall it | 23:28 |
| wraund | Pelo: can we twist the rules slightly, ive warned him big time, and if he does it again feel free to permaban him | 23:29 |

| bruenig | hmm, Pelo should ban himself | 23:30 |
| macogw | ejandi: double clicking them will install them | 23:30 |

| Pierr1 | HELP! bad install and can't revert back to NTFS | 23:35 |
| slimjimflim | thinh, it depends on the router | 23:35 |

| thinh | i have an option to turn off the firewall that i have , dont have anything else for the router | 23:35 |
| thinh | it a netgear | 23:35 |
| macogw | ejandi: yeah | 23:35 |
| Pierr1 | My windows is gone! bad install of Ubuntu and can't revert back to NTFS | 23:35 |

| thinh | i have an option of nat filter open or secured, does that help anything? | 23:36 |
| slimjimflim | *and if you have to, use one on the computer, alone | 23:36 |
| Pelo | Pierr1, what doyou mean by revert back to ntfs ? if you installed ubuntu and messed up your windows install in the process ( I 'm very sorry for you btw) , it is gone and the data is gone as well , y ou can'T revert ,you'llhave to install again | 23:36 |
| slimjimflim | nat is network address translation or 'port forwarding' | 23:37 |
| Pierr1 | Pelo | 23:37 |
| slimjimflim | so you should be able to forward ports though that interface | 23:37 |
| * Pelo listens | 23:37 | |
| Pierr1 | It won't let me install Windows -says drive is non-existant reifs? | 23:37 |
| thinh | yeah the option are secured or open, does that change anything that what i mean | 23:37 |
| macogw | Pierr1: windows has a partitioner / formatter as part of its installation | 23:37 |
| slimjimflim | thinh, for testing, leave it open. close it after you have functionality | 23:38 |

| thinh | slim did you try ssh into my box? | 23:39 |
| macogw | Pierr1: you actually were going to trust a "restore partition" to begin with? | 23:39 |
| jund13 | idx file | 23:39 |

| slimjimflim | thinh, no, pm me the ip | 23:39 |
| Pelo | Pierr1, you should have repartitonned to make room for ubuntu, you basicaly wrote over your windows installation | 23:39 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about vncserver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:47 |
| slimjimflim | thinh that's not an ip, that's a domain | 23:47 |
| slimjimflim | ips look like 192.168.1.1 etc | 23:47 |
| Pelo | ilgbbb, read the guide here http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty | 23:48 |
| slimjimflim | type ifconfig and send me the output | 23:48 |
| thinh | yeah but it tied to a ip address | 23:48 |
| ilgbbb | Failed to set pwmhwmon0/device/pwm1 to full speed | 23:48 |

| RequinB4 | hexd what are you trying to do | 23:48 |
| thinh | that should give you the samething | 23:48 |
| Pierr1 | That worked - I'll try and restore - cross your fingers | 23:48 |
| thinh | try to ping that and it will give the translation of what that is | 23:48 |
| Pierr1 | thank you to both PELO and MACOGW | 23:48 |
| Pelo | ilgbbb, you also need to install libsensor first | 23:48 |
| hexd | RequinB4, show my gnome desktop, so ill have access to menus from remote | 23:48 |
| Arinomi | How can I enter 'su' in terminal without having to type 'sudo su' instead of just 'su'? | 23:48 |
| RequinB4 | hexd - remotely? | 23:49 |
| hexd | yeah | 23:49 |
| ilgbbb | Pelo, ill check those out | 23:49 |
| Pelo | Arinomi, just type sudo , same thing | 23:49 |
| RequinB4 | hexd - ok i'll go step by step | 23:49 |
| Pici | Arinomi: sudo -i gives you the same thing as su | 23:49 |
| hexd | RequinB4, ok thanks | 23:49 |
| macogw | Arinomi: you could alias "su" to "sudo su -" | 23:49 |
| RequinB4 | 1) go to system - preferences - remote desktop | 23:49 |
| Pelo | ilgbbb, first you need to setup the sensor the the test them out , then you can setup the fancontrol basicaly all the setps are laid out | 23:49 |
| macogw | Pici: not exactly | 23:49 |
| RequinB4 | check any boxes you want, leave "ask me" on the bottom unchecked | 23:49 |
| slimjimflim | thinh, actually open a browser and type 192.168.1.1 | 23:49 |
| macogw | Pici: sudo -s is "su" sudo -i is "su -" | 23:50 |
| RequinB4 | (this is on the host comp) | 23:50 |
| RequinB4 | the server | 23:50 |
| Pici | macogw: I know, most people don't know the difference between them though. | 23:50 |
| RequinB4 | oh and set a password | 23:50 |
| Pici | macogw: or even realize that there is a difference. | 23:50 |
| slimjimflim | i can ping that address, but not the ip associated w/ it. therefore, it's probably a problem w/ dyndns.com | 23:50 |
| slimjimflim | thinh ^^ | 23:50 |
| hexd | RequinB4,oh i see it , ill try that | 23:50 |
| macogw | Pici: i note the difference as "awwww my bash aliases don't work anymore. and hey! i'm suddenly in root's ~ instead of where i was!" :P | 23:51 |
| * Pelo thinks RequinB4 is gunnuing for his job | 23:51 | |
| thinh | i send you another email | 23:51 |
| thinh | that sould have it | 23:51 |
| RequinB4 | hexd - after that, ensure you have a clear connection from the outside to port 5900 on your comp | 23:51 |
| thinh | i can ping it for some reason | 23:51 |
| slimjimflim | the past tense of send is sent | 23:51 |
| RequinB4 | then use your favorite vnc viewer on the remote comp | 23:51 |
| hexd | RequinB4, ok thank you | 23:51 |
| * RequinB4 thinks pelo shouldn't worry :P | 23:51 | |
| slimjimflim | thinh, ok, that email didn't have anything in it at all | 23:52 |

| zakirs | hi i have sound problems with ubuntu on my compaq laptop can any body help please | 23:55 |
| slimjimflim | aren't i a kind, patient person? | 23:56 |
| Pelo | allenc, not much , in order to communicate with a windows computer you need to install and config samba, samba will se your windows box just like the network thingy in windows, it will let you mount remote dir on your ubuntu box that are shared from your windows box , smb is the command to start , you cna install it from synaptic if it is not already installed | 23:56 |
| Pelo | !sound | zakirs start here | 23:56 |
| ubotu | zakirs start here: 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 | 23:56 |
| RequinB4 | ilgbbb what sound card | 23:56 |
| RequinB4 | sorry, zakirs what sound card | 23:56 |
| zakirs | i tried sound trouble shooting | 23:56 |
| zakirs | but no use | 23:56 |
| * Pelo thinks is is unseemly for slimjimflim to be fishing for compliments like that, but he's too much fo a gentlemen t mention it | 23:57 | |
| zakirs | intel hda | 23:57 |
| slimjimflim | lol | 23:57 |

| RoyKa | does anyone know where I can find the ubuntu specific patches? | 23:58 |
| RoyKa | kernel ones | 23:58 |
| matttis | hockeyfan5000: yeah, there are some | 23:58 |
| macogw | hockeyfan5000: quake and doom | 23:58 |
| Pelo | hockeyfan5000, you need to read the box and get one that install on linux , I think quacke and wolfenstein are compatible but I am not much of a gamer | 23:58 |
| allenc | Pelo: ok, will give it a shot, thanks | 23:58 |
| RequinB4 | zakirs - kind of hard to fix an ubuntu problem in windows, from my experience :P | 23:58 |
| slimjimflim | hockeyfan5000, doubit it w/o wine, but i've gotten counterstrike to run w/ wine | 23:58 |
| zakirs | hhee :) | 23:58 |
| RoyKa | I need 2.6.23, but using a vanilla one, I don't get the rt2x00 driver | 23:58 |
| zakirs | ya i tried trouble shooting for 1 month | 23:58 |
| slimjimflim | there's also a lot of open source games or free games | 23:58 |
| zakirs | but finally i gave up | 23:58 |
| slimjimflim | google something like that | 23:58 |
| macogw | hockeyfan5000: http://www.linuxgames.com/ | 23:58 |
| hockeyfan5000 | I basically wanted to see how well it can handle a game compared to Windows | 23:58 |
