| cellofellow | Jmax: never seen that before. /dev/dvd should be there though. | 00:42 |

| cellofellow | Jmax: is there ANYTHING in /dev? | 00:43 |
| Jmax | yes | 00:43 |
| Kibble_ | jonnyro: it returned "rm: cannot remove directory `./': Invalid argument" | 00:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Siph0n: no, unless it is having a hard time identifying the drive | 00:43 |
| cellofellow | Jmax: do you know how your DVD drive is attached to your system? | 00:44 |
| Siph0n | Jack_Sparrow, ok, thanks! :) | 00:44 |

| ilgbbb | Something's wrong, check your fans! | 00:44 |
| cellofellow | Mine, for example, is hdc, so IDE Master 2. | 00:44 |

| Jmax | wodim: No such file or directory. | Cannot open SCSI driver! | 00:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibble_: use gksudo nautilus or better gksudo thunar | 00:44 |
| thursday | I didn't understand your request Monkee_Of_Evil | 00:44 |
| Kibble_ | aha ok. | 00:44 |
| jonnyro | Kibble_, so, actually, your suggestion above, which i said was okay, was in fact wrong | 00:44 |
| jonnyro | (sorry, distracted screwing around with compiz) | 00:44 |
| Kibble_ | yes, i figured out that much already :) | 00:44 |
| Jmax | cellofellow: it *should* be, and was, in debian, /dev/hda | 00:44 |

| thinh | i get connection refuse now on my friends place | 00:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibble_: go to terminal type gksudo nautilus | 00:45 |
| Jmax | cellofellow: there is /dev/sg0, sg1, sg2 | 00:45 |
| cellofellow | Jmax: well, I think in Gutsy they made it so that hd is no longer, replaced with sd. I may be wrong, but I upgraded from Feisty so I still have sd. | 00:46 |
| Jmax | cellofellow: and my data /dev/sda sdb sdc | 00:46 |
| Jmax | hdd* | 00:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibble_: it will let you do whatever you want, just be very sure of what you ask it to do.. then get out of it | 00:46 |
| Kibble_ | i wrote gksudo thunar and it didn't seem to do anything jack | 00:46 |
| thinh | do i have to open a port on my friends router to get the data to it? | 00:46 |
| Swian | just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 very nice | 00:46 |
| xav3s | hi. I've just installed fglrx (using envy) and enabled the driver. But, when fglrxinfo, the output is mesa. I already rebooted the system. Any help? | 00:46 |
| cellofellow | Jmax: `mount` will show what is mounted where. | 00:46 |
| Jmax | cellofellow: right, i use lvm | 00:46 |
| sasha__ | what is the sound config directive in ubuntu ? | 00:46 |
| Kibble_ | how do I stop it jack? | 00:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibble_: you would need to install thunar with synaptic or apt-get | 00:46 |
| cellofellow | Jmax: I haven't a clue how lvm works. | 00:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibble_: close it | 00:46 |
| Jmax | cellofellow: lvm should not be related. | 00:47 |
| slimjimflim | caustic idk | 00:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibble_: then close the terminal window when it returns to a prompt | 00:47 |
| cellofellow | likely | 00:47 |
| caustic | crap. | 00:47 |
| sasha__ | alsaconfig cant be found | 00:47 |
| Jmax | maybe i'm missinga module | 00:47 |
| cellofellow | Jmax: maybe you should point wodim at the actual lvm device file. | 00:47 |

| Kibble_ | thanks jonny - it worked | 00:48 |
| professor_ | Jack_Sparrow, I dont have questions about python, I have questions about where to find the file to edit on my computer for the game | 00:48 |
| Jmax | cellofellow: my optical drive doesn't use lvm | 00:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | professor_: and once again.. the link I provided shows you how to get the source code for any program you want to edit. | 00:48 |
| Kibble_ | (read in a man that rm -rf can erase entire chunks of your hd | 00:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | professor_: When you install a program you do NOT automatically download the source code | 00:48 |
| thinh | what better to use ddclient or router ddns? | 00:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibble_: that is why I was directing you away from that option | 00:49 |
| todkon | Does anyone know of a good run prompt program? something with like a history + tab completion? | 00:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibble_: You type that wrong and lose everything | 00:49 |
| todkon | I tried using the xfrun, its alright, it has history, but no tab completion | 00:50 |
| thinh | slim can u try to connect again on my ip should still be in your email | 00:50 |
| todkon | something gtk but like the Enlightenment Run Prompt :) | 00:50 |
| Kibble_ | hmmm, i would think there was a safer option, no? | 00:50 |
| thinh | i get connection refuse when i am at a friends place | 00:50 |
| todkon | maybe a little more minimal though | 00:50 |
| caustic | can anyone help me? | 00:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibble_: command line is very powerful.. but unforgiving | 00:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibble_: Use a gui file manager with gksudo | 00:51 |

| Guiri | Hi everyone! If I install a minimal WM like fluxbox on my server can I still adjust power management? I was told Gnome's power settings are best for this.. I'm a bit confused. | 00:55 |
| Timi | Can anyone tell me how to mount an external drive? | 00:56 |
| spasticteapot | thursday: For me? | 00:56 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Ok, I am officially exhausted.. goodnight all | 01:06 |
| Timi | Pelo, you make a keystroke, say ctrl+space, it brings up a box that allows you to type in the name of the application you want, and presto | 01:06 |

| caustic | any ideas...? No sound when i recently upgraded, I have a SB 450 audio card. | 01:07 |
| Pelo | allenc, sudo smb ? | 01:07 |
| Timi | Pelo, thanks | 01:07 |
| Pelo | allenc, I'm not too familiar with samba I think smb is the command line but might be samba | 01:07 |
| Timi | Airbender, theres lots of info there. | 01:07 |
| allenc | pelo: neither works. | 01:08 |

| allenc | Is anyone here familiar with samba or another way to map windows directories? | 01:09 |
| Pelo | ConstyXIV, depends on how you configure it , but firewall aren't needed in linux like they are in windows | 01:09 |

| Timi | Airbender: 1600BEVExternal? | 01:10 |
| Pogonip_ | How can I see what processes are running. | 01:10 |
| AirBender | Timi: may be, actually I haven't experience with external hdd, but may be it could be good idea to type: lsusb and identify your HDD, then, depending on the device number you can try mouting it as /dev/usbX | 01:10 |
| Guiri | Is there a (relatively) easy way to wipe all of Gnome/default programs to give me a headless server? | 01:11 |
| Pelo | ConstyXIV, I'm not an expert but most routers have safety / security settnigs , check for nat , firewall, portforwarding and the likes, there are also encryption options for wifi and ways of blocking other comps from connecting if they don't have a preassigned static ip | 01:11 |

| Alucard85 | Because there is a sticky on the forums that the HP dv9000 does not like Gusty | 01:35 |
| Alucard85 | they recommend that you do not use gusty on Hp 6000 and 9000 series laptops | 01:35 |
| Creationist | Alucard85: Ah, then I'd stay away from it. But the problem with brand new systems is that the older versions of Ubuntu may not include device support for them yet. You could try Edgy or Feisty too. | 01:36 |
| inversekinetix | would it be possible to installed printer drivers to a WINE installation and print from there? | 01:36 |
| Alucard85 | Well, it wont even finish booting from the CD at all | 01:36 |

| dZen|n| | ephemient: yeah and, when I oik the theme what should I do then ? | 01:37 |
| tafsen | Pelo: Thanks | 01:37 |
| Pelo | allenc, fstab is the file that automounts your drives at startup | 01:37 |
| Alyxander | where is ~/.icons/? | 01:37 |
| AirBender | allenc is a file where you define automatic mounting of devices in your system | 01:38 |
| Alucard85 | So, anyone have a Linux distro that may support whatever it's that is not being supported? | 01:38 |
| leslian | I'm not sure, but if you type ls -a, that will bring up all your "hidden" files | 01:38 |
| Creationist | Alucard85: If you can't even get to the desktop, then I'd definitely recommend trying a slightly newer version. Or you could run the disc check to make sure you have a good burn of Dapper. | 01:38 |
| Pelo | Alyxander, in it is a hidden folder in /home/username crtl+h to see hidden folders | 01:38 |
| Alyxander | ty | 01:38 |
| allenc | pelo: ok, it says to edit it and put a line in but I don't see it exists... | 01:38 |
| Pelo | inversekinetix, please accept the files I am sending you | 01:38 |
| lencho | alguien habla español??? | 01:38 |
| ephemient | dZen|n|: I don't understand what you said. "oik"? | 01:38 |
| Creationist | Alucard85: With the newest hardware, device support falls on the linux kernel (which ALL distros use) | 01:38 |
| inversekinetix | what are the pelo? | 01:38 |
| Alucard85 | The disc check passed and we | 01:39 |
| Alyxander | pelo im looking there but dont see it | 01:39 |

| Alucard85 | Well, I'll try Fedora then. Does fedora use KDE or GNOME? | 01:41 |
| ephemient | dZen|n|: if the theme was imported correctly, it will show up in the themes list. selecting a theme from the themes list should change the active theme | 01:41 |

| Cooner750 | Anyone here able to play any games via Steam? | 01:44 |
| Cooner750 | in Wine | 01:44 |

| ephemient | emja: /etc/rcS.d/README tells you what that directory is for | 01:44 |
| poeloq | Creationist: it said something about composite not working | 01:44 |

| inversekinetix | Pelo not bad speed too | 01:45 |
| inversekinetix | will do | 01:45 |
| Creationist | Cooner750: Same here. But I've tried running games with Wine and they either look terrible and play very slowly, or they don't run at all. | 01:45 |
| ephemient | dZen|n|: hmm, so emerald is running | 01:45 |
| inversekinetix | Pelo whats your connection? | 01:45 |
| RequinB4 | Actually wine is fine with games if the games are fairly old | 01:45 |
| dZen|n| | ephemient: yeah | 01:46 |

| macksting | ...Okay. So I'm new to all this. How long is the FAQ? | 01:46 |
| Creationist | RequinB4: Not dissing it... just saying it totally differs from mine. Besides, almost all Linux games appear to be from that era too | 01:46 |
| Cooner750 | I'd like a connection with an upload speed of 2.6Mb/s :P | 01:46 |
| Cooner750 | MB* | 01:47 |
| wastrel | there's a faq? | 01:47 |
| Pelo | inversekinetix, I can't afford that on a janitor's salary | 01:47 |
| RequinB4 | what i've found is that newer games will work very well until you hit one previously unkown part of a game that requires windoze and it crashes | 01:47 |
| ephemient | dZen|n|: I don't know what the issue is, then | 01:47 |
| inversekinetix | luckily bandwidth is next to free here. its actually only $10 a month more to get fibre than it is dialup | 01:47 |

| macksting | I'm trying to get Rhythmbox to understand mp3s. Apparently there's a codec or something (I'm talking from my behind here) that's used by Rhythmbox, and a different one used by Aleph One. | 01:53 |
| baphs | ive trying resetting the mtu or lowering the net to 10base ...no use. | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | All i know about samba - i learned by reading the 'using samba' book - WHICH is in the 'samba-doc' package. :P | 01:53 |

| poeloq | when trying to turn effects on, I get ""The composite extension is not available"" what does that mean?!?! | 01:55 |
| macksting | When I tried to follow the instructions for gstreamer, it kept making assumptions about my knowledge and what files I possess. I ended up with about a dozen tabs open trying to string together something sensible. Failed. | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | poeloq, means you dont have your videocard/drivers set up properly | 01:56 |
| thursday | This issue is pretty comp it seems. | 01:56 |
| macksting | I believe that was on the above-mentioned restricted formats page. | 01:56 |
| ephemient | macksting: the RestrictedFormats page does offer a solution that does not involve the command-line | 01:56 |
| macksting | Throw on top of this the fact that the sudo apt-get command failed, and I'm understandably at a loss. | 01:56 |
| macksting | Ah.I'm curious, though. Why wouldn't the terminal attempt work? | 01:56 |
| poeloq | Dr_willis: do u know what i need to do? | 01:57 |
| Cooner750 | hmm | 01:57 |

| Dr_willis | poeloq, be sure you have the proper 3d video card drivers for your card installed for a start. | 01:57 |

| ephemient | macksting: System > Administration > Software Sources | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | !nvidia | poeloq | 01:57 |

| ubotu | poeloq: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:58 |
| RequinB4 | wow lag Dr_willis | 01:58 |

| === Varka_ is now known as Varka | ||
| Dr_willis | poeloq, i have no idea what you have done, and what card, or other things.. I normally use the 'restricted-manager' tool to install the video card drivers. ATI cards need extta work to get compiz going i recall. I dont use ATI. | 01:59 |
| macksting | Ephemient: I follow so far, sorta. I tried that update thing a moment ago and after a lot of little 0 50 100%'s, it complained that I need to run sudo apt-get update... | 01:59 |
| |trex| | I'm trying to install Ubuntu Gutsy on an inspiron 1100 but gdm simply won't load from the live CD. It complains about some low graphics resolution business. | 01:59 |

| macksting | Wait, no %s on that one. | 02:00 |
| macksting | What is this mess...? | 02:00 |
| ephemient | macksting: you need "restricted" checked; "universe" and "multiverse" are optional | 02:00 |
| peacepipejv | help with wine. i uninstalled a program I had running under wine, reinstalled it, now it wont run. It just sits in the taskbar. | 02:01 |
| ephemient | macksting: it does give descritive names, does it not? | 02:01 |
| macksting | It's all checked except source code, which has a -. | 02:01 |
| allenc | pelo: there are a ton of names in the samba channel but no one has typed anything... is there a time of day it is active? | 02:01 |
| ephemient | macksting: okay, that's fine, you can hit "close" | 02:01 |
| macksting | Sadly, it was like that when I opened it. | 02:01 |
| Odd-rationale | |trex|: did you try booting in safe graphics mode? | 02:01 |

| ephemient | macksting: select "Show: All available applications" and type "restricted" into the search box | 02:02 |
| Pelo | allenc, you'll have to find outon your own I'm affraid, i don't go there much | 02:02 |

| macksting | Wow... I can't help, Inverse, but that sounds really frustrating. | 02:03 |

| RequinB4 | allenc - yeah forgive th sarcm | 02:06 |
| KI4IKL|Laptop | For some reason, my Power Manager isn't working properly on my laptop. It isn't showing the batter bar when it is unplugged, is there a sensor driver or something I need to install. | 02:06 |
| RequinB4 | sarcasm | 02:06 |
| macksting | Well, if it was supposed to say "install," and I copied it verbatim, that might be my problem! | 02:06 |
| ephemient | NSM: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt documents those sysctl tunables (but Ubuntu doesn't install linux-sources by default) | 02:07 |
| ephemient | NSM: you should be able to find them online though | 02:07 |
| tim-laptop | Can someone help me fix my Atheros Wi-Fi? | 02:07 |
| NSM | ephemient: thanks. | 02:07 |
| ephemient | macksting: System Sources edited your /etc/apt/sources.list (and ran apt-get update after); Add/Remove ran "apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" | 02:08 |

| punsad | toresn_: I know setting it up was a pain. had to set some TLS something or other. I remmeber following instructions I found on google and they more/less worked | 02:16 |
| tim-laptop | Acer Aspire 4315 | 02:16 |
| Cooner750 | t1m0thy: It helps to have the Linux drivers for your graphic card installed | 02:16 |
| macksting | If the main partition fills, Ubuntu won't boot. I found that out the hard way. Had to rescue using a lot of sudo stuff through the boot CD. | 02:16 |
| Cooner750 | Ubuntu enabled my GeForce 7600GS automatically | 02:16 |
| punsad | tim-laptop: is there a *card* plugged into your laptop or not? | 02:16 |
| toresn_ | punsad: i used the instructions from this site: http://people.aapt.net.au/~adjlstrong/mutt.html | 02:17 |
| macksting | Oooh. Thanks, Eph. | 02:17 |
| tim-laptop | No. | 02:17 |
| ephemient | macksting: that's odd, usually ext2/3 reserves 1% of the disk for root-use only, so that unprivledged users can't completely fill the disk | 02:17 |
| tim-laptop | Only a LAN Cable. | 02:17 |
| Optimus55 | i'm looking for a good dock to replace AWN that can go on the right side of the screen, any suggestions? | 02:17 |
| ephemient | macksting: I wonder if we turned that off? or maybe it was a process running as root that filled up the disk. | 02:17 |
| thursday | I still can't figure it out. | 02:17 |
| n08l3J | hello ubuntu group, | 02:17 |
| toresn_ | punsad: sending mail works great, but not quite fetching it | 02:17 |
| Ryan_was_here | Anyone have any experience with acidrip? | 02:17 |
| n08l3J | I can not change the appearance in the system > prefernces anymore | 02:17 |
| punsad | tim-laptop: do I understand that you are trying to get wireless working? | 02:18 |
| thursday | Plus my disc got all scratched | 02:18 |
| _dac_ | #kubuntu | 02:18 |
| n08l3J | what can i do to recover those settings back ? | 02:18 |
| tim-laptop | Yes. | 02:18 |
| macksting | Eph: I dunno. Any idea what we'd turn on? Or why I have to do everything as sudo in what was apparently set up to be an admin account? | 02:18 |
| Ryan_was_here | tim-laptop: whats your problem? | 02:18 |
| ephemient | n08l3J: did gnome-settings-daemon crash? | 02:18 |
| n08l3J | the last thing i remember was the installation of the gtweakUT | 02:18 |
| punsad | Ryan_was_here: his module for his wifi isn't loaded correctly. nothing even showing in /proc/net/wireless | 02:18 |
| n08l3J | it just sits there doing nothing | 02:18 |
| peacepipejv | i uninstalled a program I had running under wine, reinstalled it, now it wont run. It just sits in the taskbar. | 02:19 |
| n08l3J | having that loading glass thing kept moving, but i can't click on any of the button except the close | 02:19 |
| tim-laptop | Well, I cannot connect to the internet using wireless. It works fine on Vista. | 02:19 |
| wastrel | the admin account is what lets you run sudo :] non admin can't do that even | 02:19 |
| Ryan_was_here | punsad: He load it with ndiswrapper? | 02:19 |
| JT-04 | can anyone tell me how to disable ubuntu from checking if my clock is right or not on boot? | 02:19 |
| macksting | That makes a certain sense. | 02:19 |
| punsad | tim-laptop: can you answer Ryan_was_here's question? | 02:19 |
| n08l3J | ephemient: are you getting my problem | 02:20 |
| tim-laptop | I did. | 02:20 |
| Ryan_was_here | tim-laptop: my second question :p | 02:20 |
| n08l3J | its kinda hard to explain | 02:20 |
| tim-laptop | Repeat it please? | 02:20 |
| tim-laptop | :P | 02:20 |
| n08l3J | :) | 02:20 |
| punsad | toresn_: I think I followed these instructions: http://www.linux.com/articles/48771 | 02:20 |
| poeloq | ubotu: !Atheros is is a developer of semiconductors for wireless communications commonly found in laptops. Atheros WiFi chips can be used in Ubuntu using the restricted drivers manager. | 02:20 |
| Ryan_was_here | Did you load your driver for the wireless card with ndiswrapper? | 02:20 |
| macksting | Darn. No manual entry for build-essential. | 02:20 |
| tim-laptop | Im not sute. | 02:20 |
| punsad | tim-laptop: did you load ndiswrapper? | 02:20 |
| tim-laptop | sure* | 02:21 |
| punsad | tim-laptop: that means you didn't | 02:21 |
| macksting | Is there a quick rundown on what I need to know when compiling using that? | 02:21 |
| casio1374633 | hi , everyone , i' m looking for some documents which view by vim , like vim help . can you give me some help ? | 02:21 |
| Ryan_was_here | what version did you use for the driver? | 02:21 |
| ephemient | n08l3J: I have no idea what gtweakUT is or what it does | 02:21 |
| tim-laptop | Me? And which driver? My Atheros? | 02:21 |
| RequinB4 | what is the advantage of using vi over nano or gedit | 02:21 |
| punsad | tim-laptop: did you *ever* have wifi working with this current linux install on that laptop? | 02:21 |
| tim-laptop | No. | 02:21 |
| wastrel | casio1374633: vimtutor | 02:21 |
| Ryan_was_here | tim-laptop: are you new to linux? | 02:21 |
| ephemient | casio1374633: once you open vim, ":h" will bring you to its help pages | 02:22 |
| tim-laptop | Yessir. | 02:22 |
| Ryan_was_here | tim-laptop: ok, well what is the model number of your card? | 02:22 |
| n08l3J | ephemient: I was reading one of the custimization guide and it prompted me to install gtweakui | 02:22 |
| ephemient | casio1374633: also, like wastrel says, vimtutor is a good introduction to vim | 02:22 |
| tim-laptop | Im not sure. | 02:22 |
| Dr_willis | RequinB4, there may come a time - whenyou have to use a rescue cd. and vi will be the only editor you can use. :) | 02:22 |
| punsad | RequinB4: less screwing around with mouse compared to gedit. it's really good for editing config files.. lets you get in and out real quick | 02:22 |
| n08l3J | seems like it screwed up something in the UI settings | 02:22 |
| Ryan_was_here | tim-laptop: join #linuxreality | 02:22 |
| casio1374633 | sorry, maybe i says wrong about i mean | 02:22 |

| r00tintheb0x | vi rocks | 02:22 |
| poeloq | Is it possible to use my Ubuntu laptop as a router? The laptop is connected via WiFi to the Internet and I want to connect my voipphone to the RJ45 and send over the WiFi. Possible? | 02:22 |
| casio1374633 | i know :help . and i have an old computer | 02:22 |
| punsad | Dr_willis: I wouldn't go that far | 02:23 |
| casio1374633 | only can read documents in vim | 02:23 |
| RequinB4 | lol | 02:23 |
| Dr_willis | note that the default ubuntu installs tiny-vi, you proberly should install the full vi :) for your vi-goodness needs. | 02:23 |
| LtEmerpo1 | hey guys... | 02:23 |

| LtEmerpo1 | need massive help | 02:23 |
| n08l3J | hey LTEmerpol | 02:23 |
| RequinB4 | whats up LtEmerpol? | 02:23 |
| Dr_willis | RequinB4, dont for get 'cowsay' | 02:23 |
| wastrel | macksting: build-essential provides compiler and other utilities needed but normally each individual app will provide build instructions (README or INSTALL file) | 02:23 |
| NSM | RequinB4: Also, with ksh you can 'set -o vi' and have command line editing too. | 02:23 |
| punsad | Ryan_was_here: sure ... sounds like he never had it working | 02:23 |
| casio1374633 | i want download some documents which can read by vim | 02:23 |
| casio1374633 | and it is read like read vim help | 02:24 |
| punsad | tim-laptop: did you say you never goit it working? | 02:24 |
| Ryan_was_here | yeah he never got it working | 02:24 |
| Dr_willis | vimtutor is a very well done totoral program for vi :) | 02:24 |
| LtEmerpo1 | ok | 02:24 |
| LtEmerpo1 | well | 02:24 |
| Ryan_was_here | join #linuxreality to pitch in there. its seriously cluttered here lol | 02:24 |
| macksting | Wastrel: Gotcha. I'll look for files with those names. | 02:24 |
| r00tintheb0x | casio1374633 VIM can read anything plaintext | 02:24 |
| LtEmerpo1 | i want compiz to work on 1280x1024..... | 02:24 |
| tim-laptop | No, I didnt. | 02:24 |
| punsad | Ryan_was_here: I was going to ask if it worked for him with a live cd. | 02:24 |
| punsad | tim-laptop: do you still have the vista partition on the laptop? | 02:25 |
| LtEmerpo1 | well first i cant even get there because my screen resolution wont goto 1280x1024 | 02:25 |
| LtEmerpo1 | i dont understand why | 02:25 |
| ephemient | macksting: if you wish to compile a program which is already packaged in Ubuntu, use "sudo apt-get build-dep [package]" to install the dependencies needed to compile that package, and "apt-get source [package]" to download and unpack its source to the current directory | 02:25 |
| iMac | where can download the dock for ubuntu?? | 02:25 |
| punsad | tim-laptop: you are going to need the windows drivers to get it to work | 02:26 |
| macksting | Packaged in Ubuntu. What exactly does that mean, if you don't mind my asking? | 02:26 |
| macksting | So's I know if what I'm talking about is, in fact, packaged in Ubuntu. | 02:26 |
| tim-laptop | I have the SYS file on my desktop. | 02:26 |
| LtEmerpo1 | this is what my xconf says... pastebin.org/9270 | 02:26 |
| Pelo | LtEmerpo1, could you get yoru screen to go to 1280x1024 without conpiz running ? | 02:26 |
| casio1374633 | okay, i study latex , and my latex reading book is pdf , i want some books can be read by vim, where can i download it | 02:26 |
| punsad | tim-laptop: is this a dual boot system? | 02:26 |
| Ryan_was_here | punsad: Join #linuxreality, we can both give him instructions there, cause if you tell him to do something over here, and I tell him to do something over there it will clash :P | 02:26 |
| ephemient | macksting: if the package is on one of the sources listed in /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:26 |
| tim-laptop | punsad: Yes, and please join #linuxreality | 02:26 |
| LtEmerpo1 | yes... i did earlier in the day | 02:26 |
| RequinB4 | casio - you want a .txt book? | 02:26 |
| _dac_ | how does one go from one channel to another ? | 02:26 |
| LtEmerpo1 | no i unchecked it once and now its back to the way it was.. | 02:27 |
| casio1374633 | yes ...! | 02:27 |
| wastrel | casio1374633: you want plaintext ebooks? | 02:27 |
| casio1374633 | right ! | 02:27 |
| ephemient | _dac_: what IRC client are you using? | 02:27 |
| RequinB4 | cascio http://www.eldritchpress.org/nh/sl.txt | 02:27 |
| macksting | Yeah, I'm afraid it ain't there. Would that it were. | 02:27 |
| casio1374633 | because my computer is too old | 02:27 |
| wastrel | /usr/share/doc/ has a lot of documentation | 02:27 |

| xristian | how can i convert avi to mpg .. any idea ? | 02:27 |
| Pelo | LtEmerpo1, it is not impossible that using compiz is requireing more resources and that your card can't handle that rez under that load, didyou ask about it in #compiz-fusion ? | 02:27 |
| angel__ | hi! | 02:27 |
| MdL054 | the people in the forums haven't been able to help me | 02:27 |

| casio1374633 | thanks ~~ | 02:27 |
| RequinB4 | hi angel__ | 02:28 |
| LtEmerpo1 | yeah they said come here | 02:28 |
| ephemient | _dac_: if you are using x-chat, you should be able to join multiple channels and click on their tabs to switch between them | 02:28 |
| Pelo | LtEmerpo1, lovely, ps , don't post half links, post the whole thing | 02:28 |
| macksting | Hmm. A file says "INSTALL.Unix." Linux is Unix-related, right? So is that my file? | 02:28 |
| xristian | any video fan here ? i need to convert avi to mpg .. any idea ? | 02:28 |
| marcel | how can I create a user? | 02:28 |
| Pelo | xristian, avidemux | 02:29 |
| MdL054 | xristian use virtualdub through wine | 02:29 |
| tritium | marcel: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups | 02:29 |
| MdL054 | or avidemux | 02:29 |
| ephemient | marcel: System > Administration > Users and Groups | 02:29 |
| _dac_ | okay, when I type/join #kubuntu, nothing happens | 02:29 |
| LtEmerpo1 | http://www.pastebin.org/9270 | 02:29 |

| xristian | i got avidemux,, can u tell the whole route ? | 02:29 |
| LtEmerpo1 | so am i screwed? | 02:29 |
| Pelo | LtEmerpo1, got xgl installed | 02:29 |
| LtEmerpo1 | do i? | 02:30 |
| MdL054 | xristian - http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Main_Page | 02:30 |
| LtEmerpo1 | i dont know | 02:30 |
| Pelo | LtEmerpo1, what is your video card ? | 02:30 |
| xristian | i am lost in avidemux,, no idea where to go. can u help | 02:30 |
| LtEmerpo1 | 9600xt ati | 02:30 |
| RequinB4 | xgl is pretty system intensive | 02:30 |
| ephemient | LtEmerpo1: your video card is currently being driven by the "vesa" driver | 02:30 |
| Pelo | xristian, on the left side change copy to sometingelse | 02:30 |
| ephemient | LtEmerpo1: vesa has *NO* 3D acceleration | 02:30 |
| LtEmerpo1 | so? whats that mean? | 02:30 |
| LtEmerpo1 | so im screwed.. | 02:30 |
| MdL054 | no | 02:31 |
| marcel | using command line? | 02:31 |
| ephemient | LtEmerpo1: oh wait, I can't read | 02:31 |
| ephemient | LtEmerpo1: looks like you do have fglrx in your config too | 02:31 |
| MdL054 | you need to change to fglrx | 02:31 |
| Pelo | LtEmerpo1, you got the vesa driver right now, that ' s a fall back during the install, you need to get eitehr the restriected driver or the binary for vista | 02:31 |
| ephemient | LtEmerpo1: I can't tell which one is loaded though | 02:31 |
| Pelo | the binary for ati | 02:31 |
| LtEmerpo1 | im confused.. | 02:31 |
| ephemient | LtEmerpo1: even if you had fglrx working, the stable version packaged in Ubuntu does not run Compiz | 02:31 |
| Pelo | LtEmerpo1, goto menu > system > admin > restrected drivers | 02:31 |
| ephemient | LtEmerpo1: fglrx is the binary video driver from AMD for AMD/ATi video cards | 02:31 |
| MdL054 | so I take it no one has any solutions for my issue? | 02:32 |
| xristian | im following u , what else .. Pelo | 02:32 |
| markybob | anyone in here having problems with deluge 0.5.7rc1 with invalid handle error and not starting? | 02:32 |
| ephemient | LtEmerpo1: it has never run Compiz until very recently -- and that version is not packaged in Ubuntu stable | 02:32 |
| LtEmerpo1 | ephemient i already have it clicked on.. it says its in use | 02:32 |
| matthew_ | help! I don't have any Window Border!!! how do I get it back!? | 02:32 |
| casio1374633 | wastrel: if i trans it from pdf to text , so can i read it by vim as read it like by pdf ? | 02:32 |
| Pelo | xristian, that's pretty much it, once you have selected the new format, (if hat is all youw ant to do ) , save as | 02:32 |
| * macksting will assume so for the moment and just try it. | 02:32 | |
| ephemient | LtEmerpo1: if you want fancy effects, Compiz on top of Xgl on top of fglrx works | 02:33 |
| xristian | ok i ll try just the way u told me. and be back | 02:33 |
| xristian | thx | 02:33 |
| ephemient | matthew_: are you using compiz? | 02:33 |
| casio1374633 | wastrel: PS:as well as ~~ | 02:33 |
| wastrel | casio1374633: assuming the conversion works | 02:33 |

| MdL054 | what that means | 02:34 |
| MdL054 | happens during boot off cd | 02:34 |
| LtEmerpo1 | and remember.. i want my resolution to be 1280x1024 can that be done? | 02:34 |
| MdL054 | when i try to install 7.10 | 02:34 |
| casio1374633 | wastrel: i tried it before by using software "fbgs " . but it doesn't work well | 02:34 |
| ephemient | matthew_: what version of Ubuntu did you do this on? | 02:34 |
| wastrel | it depends on the pdf | 02:34 |
| paragonc | i just installed 7.10 and i'm having trouble getting my RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI to work | 02:34 |

| wers | how do I cd up one directory? :D | 02:35 |
| MdL054 | cd / | 02:35 |
| ephemient | matthew_: odd... gutsy installs compiz by default, only starts it on capable video cards, and automatically falls back to metacity... | 02:35 |
| ephemient | wers: cd .. | 02:35 |
| Pelo | LtEmerpo1, short answer yes, lonag anser Id ont, knwo how I'm not familiar enough with the ati restricted driver | 02:35 |
| ephemient | wers: ".." is "parent directory", "/" is "root directory" | 02:35 |

| wers | what's the best gtk yakuake-like app? :D | 02:36 |
| ephemient | matthew_: hmm. so the problem is that Gnome is set to load compiz by default | 02:36 |

| MdL054 | ademi - its usually hd0,1 | 02:37 |

| rbil | INTU: maybe u should backup and tell us what it is you're trying to accomplish :-) maybe gparted isn't the tool to use | 02:47 |
| phreakshow | anyone know why? | 02:47 |
| Pelo | spoilt99, what version are you on right now ? | 02:47 |
| ephemient | phreakshow: http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots/ | 02:47 |
| Eyekon | I do have it working with Wine.. i can get into WoW .. problem im experiencing is with my addons not working properly | 02:47 |
| macksting | It doesn't seem interested in trying to find another source. | 02:47 |
| WuGutsyClan | I will try that, I have libupnp-dev | 02:47 |
| WuGutsyClan | I will try the other libupnp packages | 02:47 |
| phreakshow | ahh so this isn't a help chan, it's a bot chan? | 02:47 |
| phoenix_ | haha | 02:48 |

| Pelo | phreakshow, we have the bot to give links on common problems | 02:48 |
| phoenix_ | but my database for my bot is no where ready for that format.. | 02:48 |
| phoenix_ | who runs the bot? | 02:48 |
| mssever | WuGutsyClan: If you can't find it in Synaptic, try googling it. You might be able to discover the package name that way. It's also possible that that library isn't in Ubuntu and you'll have to compile it yourself | 02:48 |
| spoilt99 | it worked on the other pc | 02:48 |
| WuGutsyClan | yes I googled allot msserver, no luck | 02:48 |
| Pelo | spoilt99, did you read the links for upgrading ubotu gave you ? | 02:48 |
| mssever | phoenix_: I believe that Seveas runs it | 02:48 |
| WuGutsyClan | I will try compiling libupnp | 02:48 |

| phreakshow | Pelo? I do? | 02:49 |
| phreakshow | why? | 02:49 |
| phoenix_ | k, well, I can't find the source for the life of me, pretty much any link to the source is down.. | 02:49 |
| mssever | WuGutsyClan: And the program's docs don't mention the name of the required library? | 02:49 |
| lakin | Can I use dd to write a .iso file directly to a partition? | 02:49 |
| Pelo | phreakshow, cause ati doesnt, provide F0ss drivers | 02:49 |

| WuGutsyClan | libupnp, but I have that | 02:49 |
| macksting | Revise: Not super-urgent, but I'd prefer to figure out what's wrong with this before I have to leave for my movie lest I forget where I left off. I'm trying to get SDL components and apt-get's failing to connect to the server or whatever it is. I don't know how to cancel. | 02:49 |

| phreakshow | maybe i should take this as a sign and stick to windows lol...ah well i'll try the alt cd..ty pelo | 02:50 |
| ephemient | macksting: you can Ctrl-C to stop | 02:50 |
| Pelo | phreakshow, the alternate isntall cd will install a vesa drivere that will allow you a gui when you boot after that you can install restricteddriver for your ati card or the binary | 02:50 |
| macksting | Okay. So *now* I'll try Synaptic. | 02:50 |

| macksting | Yeah, might be back later. Thanks again. | 02:53 |

| phoenix_ | Does anyone know what's the best time to see Seveas online at? | 02:57 |
| phoenix_ | or know how I can get ahold of him? | 02:57 |
| ADemiG0d | i cant reinstall grub | 02:57 |
| mssever | fsufitch: Anything interesting in ~/.xsession-errors? | 02:57 |
| Pelo | fsufitch, try reconfigureing xserver ? | 02:57 |
| ADemiG0d | i get error 21 every time | 02:57 |
| EdwardXP | too doodle and live voice chat | 02:57 |
| fsufitch | mssever: let me check | 02:57 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: maybe "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libexpat1" | 02:57 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0d, what partiton is ubuntu on ? the devtree ? | 02:57 |
| fsufitch | ephemient, Pelo, i'll try mssever's xsession errors first | 02:58 |

| dahitokiri | is there a version of ubuntu that's more "bleeding edge" than the standard? | 02:58 |
| ephemient | dahitokiri: see #ubuntu+1 | 02:58 |
| mssever | dahitokiri: Hardy | 02:58 |
| linux88 | Ok, so i have an external harddrive, and i am trying to delete the contents, but it doesnt let me and it wont let me unmount it | 02:58 |
| dahitokiri | where can i get that? | 02:58 |
| ephemient | dahitokiri: no CD yet. you can upgrade to it from an existing install | 02:58 |
| mssever | dahitokiri: /join #ubuntu+1 | 02:58 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0d, that would be hd0,0, when you get to the grub menu, select the ubuntu entry in the list and hit e for edit, then select the root line and hit e for edit, change the hd... for hd0,0, then hit enter and b for boot | 02:59 |
| ephemient | linux88: you should be able to right-click it on the desktop or Nautilus's sidebar and select "unmount" | 02:59 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0d, adter that if you boot correctly go and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to make the change permanent | 02:59 |
| mssever | linux88: Why won't it let you unmount? Is it busy? | 02:59 |
| fsufitch | mssever: should i try looking at the bottom or top of the error log? | 03:00 |
| ADemiG0d | i cant get into the grub menu w/o having an external HD attatched | 03:00 |
| frost0 | when i replaced my toolbar on the bottom...i can no longer maximize minimized windows because they just disappear...no bar on the bottom....any ideas guys? | 03:00 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0d, is ubunutu installed on an external hdd ? | 03:00 |
| linux88 | ephemient i did that. mssever i dont know, it says something is being used. but nothing is | 03:00 |
| mssever | fsufitch: dunno where th error would be. More likely to be at the bottom | 03:00 |
| ADemiG0d | (i installed ubuntu on an external Now i get grub error 21 when booting from internal with no external attatched | 03:00 |
| mwilliam13 | how do you get rid of the "zoom follow mouse" if you inadvertantly press "super" + "r"? | 03:00 |
| ADemiG0d | yeah its installed on the external | 03:00 |
| mssever | linux88: Well, that's why you can't unmount | 03:00 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0d, here is why , grub is in two parts | 03:00 |
| ADemiG0d | ok | 03:01 |
| fsufitch | at the bottom it's just a series of QPainter errors, some about a begin() failing and some about an end() failing because the begin() failed | 03:01 |
| linux88 | mssever nm jsut rebooted it and now i can delete | 03:01 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0d, stage one on the boot hdd, stage 2 on the hdd with ubuntu on it, stage one refers to the menu.lst on stage to to get you the boot menu | 03:01 |
| frost0 | Pelo, when i replaced my toolbar on the bottom...i can no longer maximize minimized windows because they just disappear...no bar on the bottom....any ideas | 03:01 |

| ADemiG0d | this is obviously bad, what do i need to fix it so i can boot from the internal hdd w/o an external? | 03:02 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0d, you need to dl the supergrub cd to change the mbr on your internal boot hdd back to the original windows mbr, and then you can install a statge 1 on the external hdd, and boot from it when you nee dto start ubuntu | 03:02 |
| masmota | anyone got svideo out working? i see the computer "booting up" on the tv, but when X kicks in, the television "flashes" but stays blank. | 03:02 |
| fsufitch | mssever: any idea about the QPainter errors? | 03:02 |

| frost0 | Pelo, thank you very much | 03:04 |
| masmota | ephemient: it didnt produce any output | 03:04 |
| masmota | ephemient: and no effect | 03:04 |
| mssever | fsufitch: have you tried typing startx from a console? | 03:04 |
| mssever | fsufitch: never mind, reconfiguring is a better option | 03:04 |
| linux88 | how do i list my hard drives? | 03:04 |
| Inverse | grrrr, why does grub break and reset my bios if it gets interrupted during boot | 03:04 |
| linux88 | so i can mount | 03:04 |
| poseidon | I'm trying to write an image file to a cd, how am I supposed to mount the cd though? | 03:04 |
| aubrey | what software can i use to add music to my zune? | 03:04 |
| ephemient | linux88: cat /proc/partitions | 03:04 |
| poseidon | a cd image file .iso | 03:04 |
| mssever | linux88: liik in /dev/disk | 03:04 |
| spoilt99 | i cant upgrade to 7.10 in my update manager!!! | 03:05 |
| spoilt99 | i dont know why | 03:05 |
| ephemient | poseidon: you can't mount the blank CD you're burning to | 03:05 |
| linux88 | ephemient can i get more info with that command | 03:05 |
| aubrey | can somebody help me as to what software i should use for my zune? mp3, and video player? | 03:05 |
| poseidon | ephemient, what am I supposed to do? | 03:05 |
| ephemient | spoilt99: try "gksu 'update-manager -d'" ? | 03:05 |
| Rian-Davide | is there any customized ubuntu distros like ubuntu mint that can support a broadcom wireless modem right off of th live cd and one that also has a bit torrent client? | 03:05 |
| hockeyfan5000 | aubrey if someone knows the answer, they will get to you | 03:06 |
| Pelo | aubrey, if your zune mounts as a usb flash drive just drag drop to it | 03:06 |
| fsufitch | mssever: returns a few lines saying: "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start." | 03:06 |
| ephemient | poseidon: Gnome should have asked you if you wanted to burn a CD when you inserted the empty disc | 03:06 |
| masmota | ephemient: what should xrandr --auto do? | 03:06 |
| ephemient | poseidon: if it didn't, right-click on the .iso and select burn | 03:06 |
| Scunizi | spoilt99, try this at the terminal then back to synaptic to see if the upgrade button is there. sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 03:06 |
| ephemient | masmota: it should try to enable all attached monitors | 03:06 |
| Pelo | spoilt99, did you got and look at the upgrade instructions ubotu provided ? | 03:06 |
| hockeyfan5000 | I have a Zune, but have not tried it on linux yet | 03:06 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: it sounds like your /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 got corrupted somehow | 03:07 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: please try reinstalling libexpat1 | 03:07 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: i'll do that... | 03:07 |
| poseidon | when I insert the empty disk it shows up on the desktop, then when I go to burn the .iso to the disk, it acts as if the disk isn't there, ephemient | 03:07 |
| Pelo | poseidon, maybe the correct destination is not proveided in nautilus | 03:08 |
| ADemiG0d | when i type find /boot/grub/stage1 i get error 15 | 03:08 |
| ephemient | linux88: like mssever suggested, you can look in /dev/disk/ | 03:08 |
| Pelo | poseidon, try with gnomebaker | 03:08 |
| spoilt99 | Scunizi Any other ones??? | 03:08 |
| Rian-Davide | Is there a whats the link to ubuntu offtopic? | 03:08 |
| poseidon | pelo, how would I go about doing that? | 03:08 |
| ADemiG0d | curse these errors, why cant it be like "your shit is f'd up! reinstall grub" or something, not error 15 | 03:08 |
| ephemient | poseidon: if you are comfortable with the command line, wodim also burns CD images | 03:08 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0d, that's not how it works, there is no stage 1 file, persay | 03:08 |

| 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 (a broadcom 43xx as a dell 1490). I did the fresh install because the update manager kept failing when I was loading the bianaries for 7.10. I did the fresh install, then using wireless windows drivers (the inf files) and the ndiswrapper 1.49 the same way as I had before, but this time it is fu | 03:09 |
| mwilliam13 | bared. I followed along an install from "frodob's" post on installing a broadcom 43xx wireless nic, on an Ubuntu community forum <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper)?highlight=(WifiDocs%2FDevice)> but had issues after i edited config files as instructed. now i have no access to even view the wnic.

| fsufitch | wastrel: i don't have anything else running | 03:10 |
| * Pelo probably spelled succint wrong | 03:11 | |

| masmota | ephemient: its a radeon8500... using the "ati" driver | 03:14 |
| ephemient | ephemient: odd, that is supposed to work, then | 03:15 |
| ephemient | masmota: this wouldn't happen to be an old PowerBook or iBook? | 03:15 |

| masmota | ephemient: well thats good, at least i know to keep trying | 03:17 |
| ephemient | masmota: does "xrandr" output descriptions of the monitor and the TV? | 03:17 |
| masmota | ephemient: all i tried was the --auto | 03:17 |
| masmota | and no output | 03:17 |
| Pelo | ADemiG0d, when you boot from it , you go into the gnu/linux section, tell it to restore the stage 1 on the internal and make it point to the /boot/grub/menu.lst on the internal hdd | 03:17 |
| ephemient | mwilliam13: did you ever try to get wireless up and running without ndiswrapper? | 03:17 |

| wastrel | nsh: ls -t | 03:19 |
| linux88 | any good task managers out there? | 03:19 |
| ephemient | mwilliam13: ndiswrapper converts the windows drivers to Linux drivers; bcm43xx is a project that wrote a Linux-native driver for the same hardware | 03:19 |
| poseidon | when I look at the properties->volume->size of me empty 700mb cd-rom it says 2kb? | 03:19 |

| fsufitch | ephemient: i'm baaaack: fsck did a lot! i can now actually EDIT THE FILES on my hd! *gasp* anyway, aptitude is still unusable, complaining that dpkg was interrupted. it suggests "dpkg --configure -a" but that doesn't work due to some parse error | 03:31 |
| LtEmerpoc | thats the laptop.. someone tell me about loading ubuntu on it.. if there will be problems? | 03:31 |
| mwilliam13 | can you get any other disk to boot on the device? | 03:31 |
| MdL054 | the chipset is Intel 865PE | 03:31 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: argh... really painful recovery :( | 03:31 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: i would really like to know what i did to screw it up this badly... | 03:32 |
| foso | ok, i guess i have compiz fusion since im running gutsy, how do i get the desktop cube? | 03:32 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: it might be the hard disk dying | 03:32 |
| LtEmerpoc | mwillian13: are you talking to me? | 03:32 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: or other hardware issues | 03:32 |
| a|isha | hi guys | 03:32 |

| ubuntuN00B | i'm having a problem fetching mail... here's (part of) my log: | 03:32 |
| ubuntuN00B | http://pastebin.com/d5491a0e | 03:32 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: so none of it is my fault? cuz now my parents are glaringi at me for not doing my homework and fixing linux instead | 03:32 |
| a|isha | i have to write a paper for school comparing ubuntu and mac in terms of security | 03:33 |
| a|isha | my friend told me to ask here for help | 03:33 |
| MdL054 | •mwilliam13• ubuntu 5.10 does install btw if that helps | 03:33 |
| ubuntuN00B | (i'm using fetchmail, mutt, procmail, msmtp) | 03:33 |
| foso | mssever, sorry, what does that mean? | 03:33 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: I don't know for sure | 03:33 |
| mssever | a|isha: That's pretty broad | 03:33 |
| mwilliam13 | no it doesn't help.. it confuses. | 03:33 |
| MdL054 | hehe | 03:33 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: lol; so what's next in recovering this? | 03:33 |
| MdL054 | no one on the forums has been able to help thus far either | 03:34 |
| mssever | foso: Ubotu told you what to install so you can enable the desktop cube | 03:34 |
| wastrel | ubuntuN00B: fetchmail is trying to deliver mail to a running SMTP server on localhost | 03:34 |
| mwilliam13 | did you verify the iso after download? the checksum? | 03:34 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: fyi, fsck asked me if it can fix a lot of stuff such as overlapping things that i didn't really understand, but i hit "yes" for everything... it didn't seem like a good idea to leave anything _broken_ | 03:34 |
| mssever | foso: What I said before was siply a command to ubotu | 03:34 |
| a|isha | mssever yea im only looking for general input | 03:34 |
| mssever | *simply | 03:34 |
| a|isha | comparing ubuntu and mac | 03:34 |
| a|isha | which one would be better and such | 03:34 |
| MdL054 | •mwilliam13• yes and it passed. I also tried multiple mirrors | 03:34 |
| wastrel | ubuntuN00B: you have to configure fetchmail to use procmail as the MDA instead | 03:35 |
| foso | mssever, ok, just making sure i didnt do something wrong | 03:35 |
| mssever | a|isha: Well, as I don't own a Mac, I can't say much | 03:35 |
| mwilliam13 | how about using a different optical media reader? | 03:35 |
| buttercups | a|isha, well both mac and ubuntu use sudo | 03:35 |
| a|isha | im also inside the mac channel so im hoping to get feedback from both sides | 03:35 |
| mwilliam13 | can you boot your 7.10 on a different computer? just into live? | 03:35 |
| ubuntuN00B | wastrel: hm, ok... how should i do this? | 03:35 |
| a|isha | what is sudo | 03:35 |
| wastrel | ubuntuN00B: dunno i don't use fetchmail anymore :] | 03:35 |
| MdL054 | •mwilliam13• unfortionatly I only have the 1 available to me so I'm unable to test. | 03:35 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: well, I'd run badblocks or similar tools from a LiveCD, because usually a power outage doesn't cause filesystem corruption that badly | 03:35 |
| maybeway36 | !sudo | 03:35 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 03:35 |
| poseidon | anybody know where I can download gnomebaker.deb via the internet | 03:36 |
| foso | ok, my next question, how do i change the bg color of the splash screen? | 03:36 |
| frost0 | anyone here familiar with ubuntu and nvidia? | 03:36 |
| MdL054 | •mwilliam13• let me test the cd on another machine, I'll be back in a min. | 03:36 |
| ubuntuN00B | wastrel: ok, i will try to search the web | 03:36 |
| mssever | poseidon: from synaptic? | 03:36 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: i don't have a livecd... i'm going to have one on monday, but that's a bit late... | 03:36 |
| ephemient | poseidon: run "apt-cache show gnomebaker" and it will list a path on Ubuntu's archive servers | 03:36 |
| mssever | foso: Which splash screen? | 03:36 |
| frost0 | Pelo, when i play a game i will play lag free and then boom kicked out to desktop....my player is just timed out on the server....what is going on with my nividia? | 03:36 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: why can't i run it from my laptop directly? | 03:36 |
| foso | mssever, right after login, i changed the little box that shows nautilus etc loading, but its still that nasty pink color | 03:37 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: badblocks does a surface scan of the disk by writing to the blocks on a disk | 03:37 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: can't do that to the filesystem you're currently booted off of | 03:37 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: i see; i have a windows install on this machine, do u think i can use that to run badblocks? | 03:37 |
| frost0 | anyone here use and nividia with a little gaming? | 03:38 |
| frost0 | nvidia* | 03:38 |
| mssever | foso: Look into the login window app (if you start from a terminal, gksudo gdm-setup) | 03:38 |
| ephemient | no, but the Disk Management mmc snap-in has a similar capability | 03:38 |
| hdevalence | why is it that you need to defrag ntfs but not ext2 ext3 ext4 reiserfs etc | 03:38 |
| foso | mssever i have tried that to no avail | 03:38 |
| randomoutburst | soooo.....anyone know how i could download a set of programs that come on another distro? | 03:38 |
| foso | im not real tech literate, so i dont use the teminal much | 03:38 |
| mwilliam13 | was that ms windows there, ephemient??? | 03:38 |
| frost0 | mssever, when i play a game i will play lag free and then boom kicked out to desktop....my player is just timed out on the server....what is going on with my nvidia? | 03:38 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: the what? also, wouldn't it bother windows that linux is ext3? | 03:38 |
| mssever | foso: You must be running Gutsy, then | 03:38 |
| foso | yes sir | 03:38 |
| danforth | can anyone explain why my cd burning apps shut down? | 03:39 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: this is just a surface scan, Windows doesn't need to know anything about the actual filesystem, just what area on the hard disk it covers | 03:39 |
| mssever | foso: I had that splash screen problem in Gutsy | 03:39 |
| foso | mssever: i couldnt figure it out in feisty either | 03:39 |
| mssever | foso: One minute while I look up my solution | 03:39 |
| foso | thanks | 03:39 |
| mwilliam13 | So, I am getting out a shot gun to the ubuntu install on this laptop. will reinstall, because I know that i have effed up my wireless and network config files | 03:39 |
| poseidon | ephemient, it did not show couldnt' find any servers for it | 03:39 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: I think Windows has something like "\windows\system32\diskmgmt.mmc"? I dunno since I don't use Windows on anything | 03:39 |
| ephemient | poseidon: archive.ubuntu.org/ubuntu | 03:40 |
| ephemient | poseidon: | 03:40 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: oh, it' sjust the windows disk management app? | 03:40 |
| ephemient | poseidon: oh wait, I might have misinterpreted you | 03:40 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: yeah | 03:40 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: ok, i'll boot to windows and contact you further from there | 03:40 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: mmc -> microsoft management console, or something like that? I worked for a company that wrote some custom snap-ins for that | 03:40 |
| allenc | how do I start the samba nmbd daemon to resolve netbios names to ip addresses? | 03:40 |
| LtEmerpoc | hey guys | 03:41 |
| LtEmerpoc | back again | 03:41 |
| LtEmerpoc | anyone answer my question | 03:41 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: yeah, i think it's accessible from control panel > administrative tools | 03:41 |
| LtEmerpoc | ive got the sony and yeah | 03:41 |
| fsufitch | i'll see once i get on | 03:41 |
| LtEmerpoc | actually | 03:41 |
| ephemient | poseidon: do you have universe repositories? | 03:41 |
| mwilliam13 | type mmc at run prompt. there you can choose what snapins you need for the management of windows... | 03:41 |
| LtEmerpoc | different question | 03:41 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: ttys then | 03:41 |
| poseidon | ephemient, I'm trying to download it from on to my computer with windows, then transfer it to my ubuntu comp | 03:41 |
| LtEmerpoc | it says my ati drivers are enabled by not in use | 03:41 |
| LtEmerpoc | whats that mean"?? | 03:41 |
| danforth | In gutsy all my cd burning apps shut down before starting to burn a cd any ideas???? | 03:42 |
| mwilliam13 | fsufitch | 03:42 |
| poseidon | my ubuntu comp doesn't have internet connection | 03:42 |
| mwilliam13 | fsufitch | 03:42 |
| mwilliam13 | type mmc at run prompt. there you can choose what snapins you need for the management of windows... | 03:42 |
| ephemient | poseidon: you should fix that :) | 03:42 |
| ephemient | poseidon: but in this case, it's a little easier | 03:42 |
| === Einstiein is now known as jinxed | ||
| ephemient | poseidon: just go to packages.ubuntu.com, search for gnomebaker, and download the correct dist. | 03:42 |
| a|isha | what makes ubuntu so secure guys | 03:42 |
| poseidon | ok thanks | 03:42 |
| buttercups | a|isha, you might get better feed back over at #ubuntu-offtopic, busy in here =) | 03:43 |
| a|isha | can anyone answer that, thats all i really need for my paper | 03:43 |
| a|isha | oh ok | 03:43 |
| a|isha | thanks | 03:43 |

| LtEmerpoc | please | 03:43 |
| LtEmerpoc | help alot | 03:43 |
| somerville32 | sudo apt-get install | 03:43 |

| MdL054 | •mwilliam13• The CD didn't work on the other computer. I got the same issues. I also burned the ISO from another computer and tried it on both mine and on the other computer and had the same issue... this is getting weird now... | 03:44 |
| poseidon | ephemient: how do I know which dist I have? | 03:44 |
| ephemient | LtEmerpoc: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager -- this isn't related to apt anymore | 03:44 |
| mwilliam13 | sounds like a bad burn | 03:44 |
| mwilliam13 | the iso is probably good, but your burner is sad. | 03:45 |
| ephemient | poseidon: you don't know if you're on Dapper or Edgy or Feisty or Gusty? | 03:45 |
| MdL054 | I tried the burn from another computer too though | 03:45 |
| frost0 | ephemient, once you are done with poseidon...could you please help me with my nvidia graphics card? | 03:45 |

| mwilliam13 | did you verify after the burn? | 03:45 |
| LtEmerpoc | ok well how do i install them now | 03:45 |
| EdwardXP | do you guys know a good website to compare astrology signs ??? | 03:45 |
| poseidon | no | 03:45 |
| francesco | #ubuntu-it | 03:45 |

| EdwardXP | bah okay, | 03:45 |
| MdL054 | When i try to use the one built in on the CD i get the same msg | 03:45 |

| ubotu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!) | 03:45 |
| ephemient | frost0: I have no experience with binary drivers for graphics cards, so I'm kinda floundering around with LtEmerpoc :-/ | 03:45 |
| mwilliam13 | put it on a flash disk, then take it to your friend's house to burn. | 03:46 |
| frost0 | ephemient, okay i understand...thx | 03:46 |
| mwilliam13 | see if it changes the issue | 03:46 |
| jinxed | Does anyone here know any Verilog? | 03:46 |
| mssever | foso: See if this does the job: put the contents of http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45748/ into /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom; change the color code as you wish; then restart gdm: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 03:46 |

| kasansweat | Will idleness cause a wireless (router to pc) connection to drop, and if so, are there any tools/daemons etc that will help prevent this? | 03:47 |
| ephemient | poseidon: when? | 03:47 |
| ephemient | poseidon: Gusty was released last month | 03:47 |
| kitche | kasansweat: just send a ping out every so often and it should stay connected | 03:47 |
| foso | mssever, do i include the greeter thing? | 03:47 |
| poseidon | a couple of months ago | 03:47 |
| kasansweat | kitche cool, thanks | 03:48 |
| mssever | foso: yes, unless that section is already present; then put the rest in the greeter section | 03:48 |
| kasansweat | fsufitch : are you in tallahassee? | 03:48 |
| thinh | anyone knows which one is better router ddns or ddclient? | 03:48 |
| ephemient | poseidon: probably Feisty, then | 03:48 |
| fsufitch | kasansweat: no | 03:48 |
| frost0 | anyone else having trouble with their nvidia card on gutsy? | 03:48 |
| poseidon | ok, thanks | 03:48 |
| infinitycircuit | frost0, no mine works fine | 03:48 |
| frost0 | with compiz and metacity? | 03:48 |

| phoenix_ | umm | 03:48 |
| neilthereildeil | hey all | 03:49 |
| bluewolfknight0 | I'm having trouble with my belkin wireless card on gutsy | 03:49 |
| frost0 | infinitycircuit, well when i play games mine runs great then randomly times out.... | 03:49 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: i'm on windows now, what was that program you said i should use? | 03:49 |
| kasansweat | fsufitch : aha, either way, if you're associated with the school feel free to join #fsulinux, we're trying to get a group going here | 03:49 |
| neilthereildeil | i need help finding a new witreless driver for my wireless card | 03:49 |
| kitche | frost0: no but with compiz running games are barely able to be played have to turn it off first | 03:49 |
| fsufitch | kasansweat: what's #fsulinux? | 03:49 |
| neilthereildeil | how can i look for a newer driver? | 03:49 |
| frost0 | kitche, i switch to metacity....then run my game...and it randomly kicks me back to the desktop | 03:49 |
| frost0 | kitche, any settings i should look at? | 03:50 |
| majyk | why doesn't Ubuntu ship the latest Firefox? I just installed Ubuntu and I have 2.0.0.8 but 2.0.0.9 is out.... why is there a lag? | 03:50 |
| fsufitch | kasansweat: my school has an extensive linux computer lab, there's bound to be interested people if there's something with a name that contains "linux" | 03:50 |
| ephemient | neilthereildeil: please specify what wireless card you have | 03:50 |
| mssever | fsufitch: FSU = Florida State University | 03:50 |
| frost0 | kitche, meanwhile my player times out... | 03:50 |
| infinitycircuit | majyk, is there a reason you need the newest version | 03:50 |
| kasansweat | fsufitch : are you at florida state? | 03:50 |
| foso | mssever the whole thing is already there | 03:50 |
| neilthereildeil | i have the linksys wpc54g | 03:50 |
| kitche | frost0: sounds like the game just crashes not really a video driver issue | 03:50 |
| fsufitch | kasansweat: no, i'm at tjhsst, in northern va | 03:50 |
| EdwardXP | anyone know a good server manager "that contains modules like" apache mysql, php and phpmyadmin... -- where fantasico is installed so i can even install more apps that are plugnplay on the server | 03:50 |
| fsufitch | kasansweat: high school, not college yet ;) | 03:50 |
| ephemient | majyk: Ubuntu already patches Firefox with security fixes etc. between Firefox's official releases | 03:51 |
| mssever | foso: so much for that idea... I know I fixed it somewhere :) | 03:51 |
| EdwardXP | that integrate well into the ubuntu platform | 03:51 |
| kasansweat | fsufitch : aha, from your name I thought you were associated with florida state university | 03:51 |
| somerville32 | EdwardXP, webmin? | 03:51 |
| EdwardXP | is there a .deb file for that one? | 03:51 |
| frost0 | kitche, are you sure....it happens in other games also.. | 03:51 |
| Pici | !webmin | EdwardXP | 03:51 |
| ubotu | EdwardXP: 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 | 03:51 |
| majyk | ephemient, maybe so but the version numbering is confusing | 03:51 |
| emily_ | I keep getting a phantom box on my screen. It looks like the same size as the "please enter your superuser password"...anyone? | 03:51 |
| foso | which leads me to another issue, somehow i dont have permission to edit things on my ubuntu partition | 03:51 |
| majyk | why don't they just ship the latest official Firefox | 03:51 |
| EdwardXP | :( | 03:51 |
| fsufitch | kasansweat: i'd better come up with a better chat name then... i dont want people to get wrong impressions | 03:51 |
| majyk | instead of doing whatever it is they do | 03:51 |
| foso | its read only and wont let me change it | 03:51 |
| frost0 | kitche, i'm pretty sure that i have some settings wrong.....i just don't know whats right :) | 03:51 |
| EdwardXP | somerville32, Pici ... is this kinda like C_panel ? | 03:52 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: so what windows utility am i supposed to use? | 03:52 |
| ephemient | majyk: because Ubuntu does not ship the same Firefox binary that Mozilla produces | 03:52 |
| EdwardXP | thats' what im lookin for | 03:52 |
| somerville32 | EdwardXP, yup | 03:52 |
| zewb | how do you change the cursors in fluxbox? | 03:52 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: disk management... or something | 03:52 |
| majyk | infinitycircuit: is there a reason I shouldn't? | 03:52 |
| EdwardXP | :) cool thanks im going to try it out | 03:52 |
| ephemient | it's been years since I've used Windows | 03:52 |
| wastrel | majyk: gutsy was released in october, it will have no software newer than that | 03:52 |
| Bugson | is there any reason that my usb hangs off?? | 03:52 |
| Snowniak | somebody there wants to make a hacking sprint? | 03:52 |
| wastrel | majyk: (barring backports) | 03:52 |
| mssever | !sudo | foso | 03:52 |
| ubotu | foso: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 03:52 |
| emily_ | Also is there a way to change where my windows are created? It's always creating them at the top left of the screen, where the top of the window is under the toolbar. How do you change the default new window locatin? | 03:52 |
| wastrel | ah i said gutsy :p | 03:52 |
| * wastrel loses | 03:52 | |
| majyk | wastrel, that has always been my problem | 03:52 |
| infinitycircuit | majyk, well if you don't need a feature in the latest incremental release of firefox there's no real reason why you would need the upgrade | 03:53 |
| bluewolfknight0 | hey, I'm trying to install my belkin wireless card, can anyone help? | 03:53 |
| W1ZrD | !packages | 03:53 |
| ubotu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 03:53 |
| majyk | for instance Glade 3 is broke, will there be a fix for it? | 03:53 |
| ephemient | majyk: well, Firefox has been known to break extensions on upgrades | 03:53 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: i'm at the disk management thing, but there's nothing about scanning disks; the only thing it allows me to do is to delete the partition, and somehow i know that' swrong | 03:53 |
| frost0 | infinitycircuit, could you walk me through what nvidia-settings i should have? | 03:53 |
| zewb | how do you change the cursor in fluxbox? i apt-got the artwiz cursors and it automatically uses this ugly one and i want to change it | 03:53 |
| kalpik | majyk, if you always need the latest and greatest, use swiftfox | 03:53 |
| Reng | what is a good program to convert mkv files to avi? | 03:53 |
| EdwardXP | Pichu0102, its not in the addremove programs should ii check out the snyaptic package manager, or so i have to refer to the main site? | 03:53 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: heh | 03:53 |
| EdwardXP | Pici, | 03:53 |
| Bugson | everything works but my usb is hanging after a while of using my pc ??? | 03:53 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: that's annoying... | 03:53 |
| Pici | EdwardXP: ? | 03:53 |
| Bugson | any idea?? | 03:53 |
| frost0 | infinitycircuit, please...:P | 03:53 |
| LtEmerpoc | someone help alittle bit | 03:53 |
| hwdyki | what's the difference between the adm and admin group? | 03:53 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: sorry, I'm lost :-( | 03:53 |
| wastrel | feel free to install the latest whatever it is you want. i do. | 03:53 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: you can say that again... | 03:53 |
| LtEmerpoc | how do i fix my screen resolution | 03:54 |
| infinitycircuit | frost0, i find that the restricted drivers manager sets it all up just fine for me. if you want increased performance with your card you can try tweaking the xorg settings. | 03:54 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: wow, that was awesome timing... anyway, i'll try to find it... | 03:54 |
| phoenix_ | ummm, I don't know how you guys do it | 03:54 |
| emily_ | augh come on...anyone? | 03:54 |
| EdwardXP | apt-get update? | 03:54 |
| phoenix_ | theres so many freakin' topics I can't read em | 03:54 |
| ivx | hey i just set up a nfs server and i can mount it on a client but when i go to drag files over from my desktop they just dissapear from the desktop, and don't show up where i dragged them to. if i log off the client and back on the appear on my desktop again, does anyone know what is wrong | 03:54 |
| infinitycircuit | frost0, check out www.sidux.com and go to the wiki -> system administration -> the perfect desktop and you will find a whole list of xorg tweaks | 03:54 |
| zewb | how do you change the cursor in fluxbox? i apt-got the artwiz cursors and it automatically uses this ugly one and i want to change it | 03:54 |
| phoenix_ | jeebus | 03:54 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: but can i have a good description of what's ACTUALLY wrong? i'm still sorta confused about that | 03:54 |
| phoenix_ | zewb, it's not hard | 03:54 |
| Hatty | is the ca. APT server down? | 03:54 |
| zewb | i know | 03:54 |
| zewb | i just don't know where to do it | 03:54 |
| phoenix_ | ummm | 03:54 |
| phoenix_ | are you in 7.10? | 03:55 |
| zewb | yes | 03:55 |
| Hatty | ca.archive.ubuntu.com | 03:55 |
| W1ZrD | I need zlib >= 1.2.0 (for archivezip module), which package could that possible be? | 03:55 |
| frost0 | infinitycircuit, thank you very much | 03:55 |
| majyk | kalpik, I don't always need the latest but I don't understand this 6 month release cycle, software become really stale... this isn't windows where software evolves in the course of YEARS | 03:55 |
| Pici | W1ZrD: libzlib-dev | 03:55 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: your filesystem got corrupted. fsck fixed it so that it's in a stable state, but the files on disk may contain bad data | 03:55 |
| phoenix_ | should be... | 03:55 |
| EdwardXP | Pici, im performing an apt-get update >> and im going to look for webmin in the system | 03:55 |
| foso | mssever, sorry, im not real experienced at this and dont get how to apply that info to what im trying to do | 03:55 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: and i have to find a way to recover my good data? | 03:55 |
| Pici | EdwardXP: Did you read the messave from ubotu? | 03:55 |
| mssever | ivx: What happens when you move/copy them from the command line? | 03:55 |
| Pici | !webmin | EdwardXP | 03:55 |
| ubotu | EdwardXP: 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 | 03:55 |
| majyk | I'm holding out for the Ubuntu that evolves like Gentoo | 03:55 |
| phoenix_ | cursor selection? | 03:55 |
| kalpik | majyk, then probably u should run a rolling release distro like debiad sid/arch/gentoo | 03:55 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: sounds like your system was interrupted in the middle of an upgrade... and not really | 03:55 |
| wastrel | majyk: debian's last release took 2 years | 03:55 |
| phoenix_ | ya | 03:55 |
| W1ZrD | Pici: for feisty it says: zlib1g-dev, is that the one then? | 03:55 |
| phoenix_ | ummm | 03:56 |
| ivx | msserver, i don't know how up | 03:56 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: there's no way to tell good data from bad, since ext2/3 doesn't checksum data | 03:56 |
| zewb | cursor selection in fluxbox | 03:56 |
| Pici | W1ZrD: sure, sounds good | 03:56 |
| pussfeller | how do you make a module autoload | 03:56 |
| majyk | kalpik, I already do | 03:56 |
| ivx | msserver, *hold up | 03:56 |
| EdwardXP | :( | 03:56 |
| EdwardXP | nooo | 03:56 |
| Hatty | is the ca.archive.ubuntu.com APT server down? | 03:56 |
| wastrel | pussfeller: put it in /etc/modules | 03:56 |
| ephemient | pussfeller: add to /etc/mo | 03:56 |
| mssever | foso: Basically, system files are owned by the root user and can only be written by that user; this is for security purposes | 03:56 |
| Pici | EdwardXP: Thats what I was trying to say earlier. | 03:56 |
| ephemient | argh | 03:56 |
| zewb | im not sure where apt-get even put the artwiz cursors | 03:56 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: i see, so i just have to hope for the best... fyi, i was upgrading earlier, but i didn't interrupt it | 03:56 |
| kriel | what is the hardware clock set to when using ubuntu? is it set to local time or GMT? | 03:56 |
| ephemient | pussfeller: add to /etc/modules <-- like wastrel sasid | 03:56 |
| kalpik | majyk, then you just need to understand that Ubuntu is not like that :( | 03:56 |
| majyk | I want a binary distro like Ubuntu that evolves not stagnates for 6 months | 03:56 |
| pussfeller | wastrel: the name of the module? | 03:56 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: maybe it just crashed... | 03:56 |
| wastrel | yes | 03:56 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: did you system crash or power off? | 03:56 |
| EdwardXP | Pici, is there an alternative thats' just as good, can you reconmend me another distro? | 03:56 |
| Pici | kriel: it asks when you install if you have it set to UTC or local. | 03:56 |
| kalpik | majyk, tried archlinux? | 03:56 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: no, not at that time | 03:56 |
| foso | mssever should/can i try it | 03:56 |
| Pici | EdwardXP: I don't know, sorry. | 03:56 |
| infinitycircuit | majyk, tried the real debian? | 03:57 |
| wastrel | majyk: debian testing or sid | 03:57 |
| pussfeller | cool, thanks wastrel | 03:57 |
| kriel | Pici: I don't remember it asking... any way i can check that post-install? | 03:57 |
| foso | mssever, ie change the permissions ? | 03:57 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: do you think it woul dbe a good idea to just get all of my ~, pack it up, take it away, then reinstall linux? | 03:57 |
| mssever | foso: The sudo and gksudo commands allow authorized users (such as the account created when you installed) to temporarily gain root privileges | 03:57 |
| jakelfenix | hola | 03:57 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: yes, that would be my recommended plan of action | 03:57 |
| jakelfenix | hello | 03:57 |
| LtEmerpo1 | im guessing everyone is pissed at me asking about my screen resolution.. lol | 03:57 |
| Hatty | is the ca.archive.ubuntu.com APT server down? | 03:57 |
| Pici | kriel: I think its `sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata` | 03:57 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: i've had a LOT of other problems because of upgrades and such in the past | 03:57 |
| mssever | foso: Changing the permissions can break your system if you do it wrong | 03:57 |
| majyk | anyway just don't realize why Ubuntu doesn't ship the latest version of Firefox | 03:57 |
| kalpik | majyk, arch is probably THE most cutting edge distro | 03:57 |
| darkentity | is there a way to get a thumbnail view of pictures before u send them because evolution and pidgin i.m. have no options to do that | 03:57 |
| jakelfenix | alguien sabe como hacer un chroot de fedora en ubuntu? | 03:57 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: you could save a copy of /var/lib/dpkg/status as a list of what packages you have installed | 03:57 |
| wastrel | majyk: perhaps it's in the process of being backported. | 03:57 |
| LtEmerpo1 | how do i install the ati drivers.. | 03:57 |
| fsufitch | edgy -> feisty -> gutsy wasn't very friendly on my computer | 03:57 |
| foso | mssever, ok i think i getcha | 03:57 |
| Pici | !es | jakelfenix | 03:57 |
| ubotu | jakelfenix: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allà obtendrá mas ayuda. | 03:57 |
| mssever | !es | jakelfenix | 03:57 |
| kriel | Pici: guess i'll find out soon enough. Thanks. | 03:57 |
| neilthereildeil | how can i find the newest driver for my wireless card? | 03:58 |
| ivx | msserver, i quick just right clicked and created file and dragged it over, and back and forth a few times and it worked fine, the other files i was trying where ubuntu iso's. why would it behave like that | 03:58 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: actually i shouldn't, as i prolly have about 2 GB of worthless packages installed ;) | 03:58 |
| zach382 | Hello. Can anyone link me to a guide that tells me how to install the nvidia binary drivers from the nvidia website in ubuntu gutsy? Ive been googling but cant come up with anything. | 03:58 |
| majyk | I mean is it really too much to ask to have the latest Firefox? Sure I could download a binary | 03:58 |
| darkentity | go the manufucatures website neil | 03:58 |
| buttercups | !ati | LtEmerpo1 | 03:58 |
| ubotu | LtEmerpo1: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:58 |
| neilthereildeil | do they have linux drivers there? | 03:58 |
| Pici | majyk: I'm sure theres a reason why. | 03:58 |
| kalpik | majyk, add the swiftfox repo.. | 03:58 |
| phoenix_ | whoa | 03:58 |
| phoenix_ | seriously | 03:58 |
| majyk | the Ubuntu devs stick to this 6 month cycle like nazi's | 03:58 |
| phoenix_ | WAY too many topics | 03:58 |
| phoenix_ | haha | 03:58 |
| LtEmerpo1 | okay.. how about my sound blaster card.. | 03:58 |
| phoenix_ | *trots back to efnet* | 03:59 |
| darkentity | how do u do that trick when u wanna answer someone back in this chatroom and the color turns red for them | 03:59 |
| kitche | hmm odd how my user can't start another X session | 03:59 |
| Pici | !language | majyk | 03:59 |
| ubotu | majyk: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:59 |
| kriel | majyk: do you want it to work, or do you want it to be up-to-date? usually the more up to date you are, the more likely things are to break. | 03:59 |
| wastrel | it is too much to ask to have the latest firefox. especially because it's so easy to install it yourself | 03:59 |
| infinitycircuit | majyk, dapper was released two months late for a reason | 03:59 |
| Reng | what is a good program to convert mkv files to avi? | 03:59 |
| ADemiG0D | so i install ubuntu on an external HD, now i cant get Non-linux computers to boot to ubuntu from the external Drive | 03:59 |
| kalpik | darkentity, prefix their name :) | 03:59 |
| majyk | ubotu, I am thanks | 03:59 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about i am thanks - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:59 |
| darkentity | lol thanks kalpik | 03:59 |
| Pici | majyk: If you dont have any support questions and just want to complain, you are free to leave at any time. | 03:59 |
| darkentity | kalpik: does this work? | 03:59 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: so, now i know what to do... it's going to be painful formatting that partition though... so many memories XD | 03:59 |
| mssever | ivx: Dunno. I don't know if it's an issue with Nautilus (the file manager) or something at a lower level. You can use cp source/file destination to copy files from the command line and mv source dest to move or rename them | 03:59 |
| kalpik | darkentity, yes, it does! | 03:59 |
| darkentity | kalpik: awesommme | 04:00 |
| infinitycircuit | majyk, it makes no sense to ask for the newest firefox when the devs already patch firefox | 04:00 |
| atlfalcons866 | is it possible to dual boot windoze vista and ubuntu | 04:00 |
| Pici | majyk: We don't need that kind of attitude here. | 04:00 |
| majyk | Pici, I'm not complaining | 04:00 |
| darkentity | kalpik: ur the man i love u! | 04:00 |
| mssever | ivx: Without trying it from the command line, I don't know how to diagnose your problem | 04:00 |
| atlfalcons866 | or is microsoft have properity stuff | 04:00 |
| Pici | !dualboot | atlfalcons866 | 04:00 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: my G4 Powerbook used to run Gentoo. it overheated and the hard disk crashed. how's that for memories? :) | 04:00 |
| ubotu | atlfalcons866: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 04:00 |
| majyk | Pici, I don't have an attitude | 04:00 |
| kalpik | atlfalcons866, yes you can | 04:00 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: oooooh; that's a success story of gentoo -> ubuntu ;). actually i've been considering getting gentoo for my computer, but i just like apt so much i don't think i'll do it | 04:01 |
| majyk | if 2.0.0.8 is patched with all the crap in 2.0.0.9 then why doesn't Ubuntu roll out 2.0.0.9 rather than 2.0.0.8 ? | 04:01 |
| ephemient | fsufitch: I still run Gentoo on my (more powerful and better-ventilated) desktop | 04:01 |
| wastrel | majyk: it was released less than a month ago. it's probably in the backports queue. | 04:01 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: so i'll be doing the backing up and reinstallation of everything some other time, like tomorrow | 04:01 |
| kalpik | majyk, maybe cause the problems fixed in 2.0.0.9 do not apply to Ubuntu? | 04:01 |
| Pici | majyk: I'd tell you, but our issue/package tracking system (Launchpad) is currently down for planned maintenance. | 04:02 |
| orion2 | Does anyone know how to change the default port on ssh to something else? | 04:02 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: right now both of my parents are telling me to get some sleep; i guess i'll listen to them | 04:02 |
| ephemient | orion2: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change Listen | 04:02 |
| whisperkiller | can someone tell me how to cd to Desktop? | 04:02 |
| kriel | im actually in the process of dualbooting gentoo and ubuntu... strange. which is why im trying to figure out if my clock is local or gmt'd... | 04:02 |
| bruenig | whisperkiller, cd Desktop | 04:02 |
| kriel | whisperkiller: cd ~\Desktop | 04:02 |
| fsufitch | ephemient: and i'll consider gentoo for my desktop pc, which btw has issues with wireless (as all linux comps do) | 04:02 |
| foso | mssever, (or anyone) any other ideas on how to change the bg color of the splash screen from pink? | 04:02 |
| bruenig | kriel, / not \ | 04:02 |
| kalpik | whisperkiller, open terminal and do "cd ~/Desktop" | 04:02 |
| fsufitch | i may be in here some other time asking for hekp with that | 04:02 |
| ephemient | kriel: Windows *always* makes the hardware clock local time, never GMT | 04:02 |
| whisperkiller | i got it | 04:03 |
| neiljmorrow | hi all | 04:03 |
| kriel | ephemient: ... gentoo isn't windows, last i checked. | 04:03 |
| whisperkiller | bruenig: thanks | 04:03 |
| ephemient | kriel: oooh, I can't read | 04:03 |
| ephemient | kriel: well, then it's whatever you set it up to be, then | 04:03 |
| fsufitch | good night, all | 04:03 |
| Hatty | Does anyone know why the Canada apt repo is down/how to switch to another repo | 04:03 |
| kriel | ephemient: cept i cant remember. x.x; i dont even remember it asking. | 04:03 |
| kalpik | Hatty, system -> admin -> software sources | 04:03 |
| bruenig | Hatty, edit /etc/apt/sources.list, change ca to uk or us or de or whatever country you want | 04:03 |
| majyk | Pici, I see most people see my words as a complaint which tells me that I am not the only one to mention this | 04:03 |
| majyk | seems the version numbering is confusing | 04:04 |
| ephemient | kriel: /etc/conf.d/clock in Gentoo | 04:04 |
| kriel | and im trying to chroot into it from the gentoo install disk... erf. i think this is getting to convoluted for my skill level. | 04:04 |
| wastrel | the firefox version numbering? | 04:04 |
| majyk | why does Ubuntu patch their FIrefox differently than the official release | 04:04 |
| mssever | foso: I think that my solution didn't work for you. By the way, have you set the proper background color in the desktop config? Even if you have a wallpaper, the color might show through sometimes. Just a stab in the dark | 04:04 |
| Hatty | kalpik: bruenig: Cheers | 04:04 |
| majyk | seems like wasted effort really | 04:04 |
| ephemient | kriel: or /etc/rc.conf if it's really old Gentoo | 04:04 |
| kriel | ephemient: ubuntu is already set up, and im trying to configure gentoo to match. | 04:04 |
| bruenig | majyk, because the original firefox has problems, all distros do it | 04:04 |
| Pici | majyk: I dont know right now. I can't access the information. But I'm sure that theres a logical reason why. | 04:04 |
| ephemient | kriel: oh. hmm... I dunno where that setting is on Ubuntu | 04:05 |
| mssever | majyk: Because open source often does things like that | 04:05 |
| ephemient | majyk: Ubuntu's Firefox has much better Gnome integration | 04:05 |
| bruenig | ephemient, not true | 04:05 |
| kriel | ephemient: buried in the deep, dark corners of /etc i'm guessing. | 04:05 |
| orion2 | ephemient: what would be a good port number to change it to? | 04:05 |
| majyk | fair enough | 04:05 |
| ephemient | majyk: as well as being able to globally install extensions from Ubuntu's repositories | 04:05 |
| ephemient | orion2: why do you need to change the port number? | 04:05 |
| bruenig | from what I have seen on other distros, most of the patches deal with pango | 04:06 |
| orion2 | ephemient: my computer keeps getting hitt by bots | 04:06 |
| bruenig | and text rendering in general | 04:06 |
| majyk | just seems like a confusion on version numbers then | 04:06 |
| Pici | majyk: If you want to look yourself in a bit, you can look at the firefox package's bug reports on bugs.ubuntu.com, but its scheduled to be down for right now. | 04:06 |
| foso | mssever, thanks for your help anyway, i do have it set as black under background color | 04:06 |
| mssever | orion2: some high port number isn't likely to conflict with anything | 04:06 |
| danforth | why do my cd burning apps shut down while converting mp3's to audio cd format???? | 04:06 |
| majyk | what does a normal person see? They see Firefox being at 2.0.0.9 and Ubuntu being at 2.0.0.8 and they say why does Ubuntu lag behind? | 04:06 |
| ephemient | orion2: you can run fail2ban or something | 04:06 |
| bruenig | majyk, ubuntu always lags behind | 04:06 |
| ephemient | majyk: ... what "normal person" looks at version numbers like that? | 04:07 |
| orion2 | msserver: something like 64644? | 04:07 |
| scguy318 | majyk: because Ubuntu repos strive for version freezes | 04:07 |
| orion2 | ephemient: is fail2ban easy to set up? | 04:07 |
| mssever | orion2: sure. Probably will work | 04:07 |
| Pici | scguy318: 2.0.0.9 was a security update. | 04:07 |
| majyk | ephemient, this normal person does | 04:07 |
| orion2 | msserver: you think i should set up Fail2ban or just change to port? | 04:07 |
| majyk | it's not that hard | 04:07 |
| scguy318 | Pici: ah | 04:07 |
| majyk | haha | 04:07 |
| ephemient | orion2: either way is okay | 04:07 |
| francesco | hello guys... i've a problem with my gutsy... its a wireless problem | 04:08 |
| ephemient | orion2: personally, I just leave the port unchanged but disable password logins | 04:08 |
| mssever | orion2: I've never heard of Fail2ban so I don't know | 04:08 |
| scguy318 | francesco: shoot | 04:08 |
| bruenig | majyk, software rarely is updated except every 6 months | 04:08 |
| ephemient | orion2: that way only me, with my ssh key, can log in | 04:08 |
| Pici | bruenig: This was a security update. | 04:08 |
| francesco | ok thx | 04:08 |
| mssever | orion2: I likewise disable password logins; I don't care how many bots hit me; they can't get in | 04:08 |
| majyk | bruenig, yes I know and that is my biggest problem with Ubuntu.. I'm trying to get over it but it's difficult | 04:08 |
| francesco | i use wireless to connect to my home wlan | 04:08 |
| ephemient | orion2: fail2ban trawls the ssh logs and adds iptables rules to ban repeat offenders | 04:08 |
| Pici | majyk: Security updates almost always get through, I'm sure theres a logical reason why this didn't. | 04:08 |
| majyk | Linux doesn't live in a 6 month vacuum | 04:08 |
| ephemient | orion2: there's other software that does the same thing | 04:08 |
| ADemiG0D | i cant seem to find the article to properly install ubuntu on an external HD can anyone help | 04:09 |
| ephemient | majyk: but distros do | 04:09 |
| bruenig | majyk, don't get over it, change distros | 04:09 |
| scguy318 | majyk: if you want the bleeding latest, use a different distro | 04:09 |
| francesco | but when i connect all the programs slow down alot | 04:09 |
| * Pici facepalms | 04:09 | |
| foso | does compizfusion have the cool thing like in mac os that shows all windows? | 04:09 |
| kriel | Oh. Duh. x.x; I set my UTC to my local time.... argh. /me facepalms | 04:09 |
| foso | i dont know what its called | 04:09 |
| bruenig | majyk, that is why many distros exist. No reason to stick with one that you fundamentally dislike | 04:09 |
| francesco | but the interesting thing is: | 04:09 |
| orion2 | msserver: i just changed the default port number and it let me ssh into my computer still using port 22. I also did this sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 04:09 |
| ephemient | foso: yes, I think it's bound to alt-shift-up by default? | 04:09 |
| ADemiG0D | i cant seem to find the article to properly install ubuntu on an external HD can anyone help | 04:09 |
| kitche | foso: it has a expose plugin might have to install it though | 04:09 |
| orion2 | msserver: do you know why? | 04:09 |
| francesco | if i connect to other wlans the problem dont happen | 04:09 |
| infinitycircuit | ADemiG0D, it shouldn't really be any different. what is your trouble | 04:09 |
| majyk | I've used plenty of distro's for the last 10 years and none suit my needs | 04:09 |
| foso | ephemient thanks, thats it :) | 04:10 |
| majyk | software doesn't live in a 6 month vacumme | 04:10 |
| ADemiG0D | I did the install, but i cant boot to the external | 04:10 |
| ADemiG0D | i wanna know how to properly format the external | 04:10 |
| bruenig | majyk, what are you looking for | 04:10 |
| scguy318 | francesco: what chipset? | 04:10 |
| majyk | something like Gentoo but binary package based | 04:10 |
| orion2 | msserver: this is the line of code that i changed is this correct? | 04:10 |
| orion2 | # Port 64646 | 04:10 |
| majyk | Ubuntu that revolves | 04:10 |
| darkmatter | arch | 04:10 |
| bruenig | majyk, arch | 04:10 |
| wastrel | debian testing/sid | 04:10 |
| Pici | majyk: At this point the subeject is offtopic, please move to #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 04:10 |
| mssever | orion2: Apparently you didn't change it the way ssh-server wanted. I've never tried to change the ports myself, so all I can recoment is reading the man page for the config file | 04:10 |
| bruenig | that is basically the definition of arch | 04:10 |
| francesco | hmm.. intel pro wireless... the pc's an asus a6jm | 04:10 |
| ephemient | majyk: Gentoo is only up to date when developers update the packages in its repository | 04:10 |
| bruenig | revolving binary distro | 04:10 |
| ephemient | majyk: same as in every distro | 04:10 |
| majyk | Pici, I am not going to continue this | 04:10 |
| scguy318 | francesco: and what do you mean slow down? | 04:10 |
| Pici | majyk: okay :) | 04:11 |
| francesco | well, it takes about 10 seconds to open the shell or gedit | 04:11 |
| Pici | ADemiG0D: Does your computer support booting from USB? Which I assume the drive is? | 04:11 |
| ephemient | majyk: just that the Gentoo developers don't have to do as much work to bump the package versions :) | 04:11 |
| mssever | orion2: You have to uncomment it for it to work | 04:11 |
| orion2 | ah | 04:11 |
| ADemiG0D | it should, its a new dell | 04:11 |
| francesco | while some programs like calculator or system monitor run normally | 04:11 |
| scguy318 | francesco: if you run top, any particular process hoarding CPU time or the like? | 04:11 |
| EdwardXP | does anyone know i can get ubuntu on a 1GB flash-disk | 04:11 |
| francesco | no :( | 04:11 |
| majyk | Pici, the point is I like Ubuntu, I just don't agree with the 6 month release cycle, I think it's really outdated | 04:11 |
| darkmatter | majyk: arch is a rolling release derived from slackware. rolling release means that the packages are always "bleeding edge" | 04:12 |
| EdwardXP | thats' bootable of course | 04:12 |
| majyk | arch is derived from Crux | 04:12 |
| orion2 | msserver: i uncommented it and restarted ssh and it is still letting me connect :( ? | 04:12 |
| mssever | majyk: Maybe you'd prefer debian unstable? | 04:12 |
| francesco | moreover, if i diconnect all returns "normal" | 04:12 |
| bruenig | darkmatter, crux but yeah | 04:12 |
| kriel | EdwardXP: you're missing a word. 'if i can get'... 'how i can get'... 'why i can get...' | 04:12 |
| darkmatter | majyk. and crux is slack. whats your point? :) | 04:12 |
| mssever | orion2: Can you connect on the new port? | 04:13 |
| bruenig | majyk, everything you describe is arch so I don't know what you are waiting for exactly. | 04:13 |
| francesco | -but i must tell, now im not connected with my wlan -im with another | 04:13 |
| scguy318 | francesco: hmm, I guess if you think the native Intel wireless module is the issue, you could try utilizing ndiswrapper | 04:13 |
| majyk | darkmatter, crux is not derived from slacware | 04:13 |
| scguy318 | francesco: or could be a transient issue | 04:13 |
| majyk | slackware | 04:13 |
| EdwardXP | kriel, how can i get ubuntu on a flash drive thats' bootable | 04:13 |
| majyk | I've used it for a long time | 04:13 |

| francesco | scguy318: hmm.. i don know... if the issue is the diriver i think the problem shoul happen with all wlans | 04:14 |
| bruenig | majyk, don't complain about ubuntu when the distro you claim to want is out there | 04:14 |

| mssever | orion2: one minute while I look through my config | 04:15 |

| RebelX | if it helps im running ver 7.10 | 04:18 |
| scguy318 | hahafaha: my apologies | 04:18 |
| ephemient | hahafaha: after Windows fixed it, did it work again under Linux? | 04:18 |
| majyk | so if a package like Glade 3 has bugs will that be patched in this release? | 04:18 |
| hahafaha | ephemient: no, it did not. I did not get the feeling like it fixed it, really | 04:18 |
| majyk | it's not a security bug, but it's a show stopper | 04:18 |
| mssever | orion2: Have you read man sshd_config? You might want to try the ListenAddress directive instead of the Port directive | 04:19 |
| kriel | wastrel: thanks. (ntp's not installed, btw) | 04:19 |
| ephemient | hahafaha: the ntfsprogs package contains a tool called "ntfsfix" | 04:19 |
| scguy318 | hahafaha: you did specify the /f option for chkdsk? just checking :P | 04:19 |
| atlfalcons866 | what else is wrong with vista | 04:19 |
| orion2 | msserver: do you know where the config file for that is? | 04:20 |

| VulcanRidr | kitche: I looked at that earlier, but couldn't get it to find the repo on the workstation. | 04:39 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, can you help me with pidgin? | 04:39 |
| simplechat | kitche, /home | 04:39 |
| trwww | ... I see a setting under "Screensaver Preferences" that says "regard the computer as idle after "10 minutes". I can change this to anything between 1 min and 2 hrs, but no way to turn it off? | 04:40 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, is there some googletalk irc channel? | 04:40 |
| VulcanRidr | q_a_z_steve: I can try... | 04:40 |
| simplechat | ephemient, ok. | 04:40 |
| threefcata | can anybody help me? | 04:40 |
| linux88 | THREEFCATE WITH | 04:40 |
| VulcanRidr | q_a_z_steve: Apparently not. | 04:40 |
| kitche | simplechat: umm on ubuntu I don't think so since users can see other users /home | 04:41 |
| bluefox83 | threefcata, not till you tell us what your problem is... | 04:41 |
| bazhang | threefcata: what's your question? | 04:41 |
| linux88 | threefcata with? | 04:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | trwww: what about the power mgmnt tab | 04:41 |
| ephemient | caustic: I remember seeing a page about certain HDA devices that needed modified/updated ALSA drivers, but I can't find that right now... | 04:41 |
| threefcata | thx, i just upgraded to gutsy, but my trackpoint doesn't scroll but i did exactly the same configuration as i did in 7.04 | 04:41 |
| VulcanRidr | q_a_z_steve: What are you trying to do with pidgin? | 04:41 |
| caustic | ephemient: crap... I didn't have this big of a problem before. | 04:41 |
| simplechat | kitche, ok, i'm rerunning it as root. also, it should copy over all the . files? | 04:41 |
| ephemient | caustic: is this something that broke recently? | 04:42 |
| kitche | simplechat: it might I m not sure about that | 04:42 |
| trwww | Jack_Sparrow: (11:32:05 PM) trwww: I have all "Put Computer to Sleep" settings set to "Never" at "System -> Preferences -> Power Management", yet the monitor goes blank and some ssh connections disconnect after not touching the keyboard for ~10 mins. | 04:42 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=49147 Isn't helping. Whenever I click on the account is says "Connection Error MYADDRESS@gmail.com/Home disconnected Server requires TLS/SSL for login. No TLS/SSL Support found." So then I try all the options in Advanced, to turn on this or that, and it doesn't connect to googletalk | 04:42 |
| bazhang | threefcata: that on a thinkpad? | 04:42 |
| threefcata | ehh not exactly the same but almost the same, you know, those lines in xorg.conf | 04:42 |
| caustic | ephiemient: no, I upgraded to 7.10, thas it. | 04:42 |
| threefcata | yes X31 | 04:42 |
| ephemient | caustic: it worked before 7.10? | 04:42 |
| bazhang | threefcata: have you seen think wiki? | 04:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | trwww: what about the bios settings for power mgmnt | 04:42 |
| caustic | ephemient: yeah. | 04:42 |
| ephemient | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller ? | 04:43 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, I built 2.2.2 for dapper since I couldn't find a repos, nor a .deb even though some say it was/is on getdeb.net . | 04:43 |
| caustic | ephemient: that | 04:44 |
| caustic | 's the weird part. | 04:44 |
| kitche | VulcanRidr: are you using http checkout or ssh? sicne I know how to sort of setup git for ssh access | 04:45 |
| ephemient | caustic: does the PCI ID of your card match that of any of the ones on that page? | 04:45 |
| VulcanRidr | kitche: I was trying to... | 04:46 |
| caustic | ephemient: Nope :( | 04:46 |
| trwww | Jack_Sparrow: googling ubuntu bios power management yeilds http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193838 which says the same thing (chek bios settings). | 04:46 |
| trwww | I have to reboot, right? brb... | 04:46 |
| kitche | VulcanRidr: http://eagain.net/blog/2007/03/22/howto-host-git.html seems to be a good guide for debian systems | 04:46 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, ephemient, do I have SSL Support in dapper??? | 04:47 |
| jojobeans | howdy | 04:48 |
| VulcanRidr | q_a_z_steve: specifically under pidgin? Did you compile the option in? | 04:48 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, probably not, was unaware. | 04:48 |
| q_a_z_steve | I had to pull things like libxml-perl and things to even compile, never opted for ssl | 04:49 |
| VulcanRidr | Thanks for the link, kitche...Looking now. | 04:49 |
| MdL054 | When I boot off the ubuntu install CD, it boots to Command Line (initrmfs). Anyone have any idea what that means now? | 04:49 |
| ephemient | caustic: looking it up... your sound card is driven by the same module | 04:49 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, I don't know why I have to use SSL anyway, that page doesn't say anything about it at all | 04:49 |
| ephemient | caustic: and it is true that the HDA part of ALSA is still in a bit of flux | 04:49 |
| Anthology | Hi, can someone refer me to a good data recovery program to recover an old ntfs partition? | 04:49 |
| caustic | ephemient It is? then what do I do? | 04:49 |
| VulcanRidr | q_a_z_steve: I didn't compile it, am using the one for gutsy from the repos. | 04:50 |
| scguy318 | Anthology: testdisk | 04:50 |
| mohkohn | I have gutsy installed. It boots in single user mode but fails on "Loading acpi modules... | 04:50 |
| Anthology | thanks scguy318 | 04:50 |
| mohkohn | How do I fix? or can I? | 04:50 |
| scguy318 | mohkohn: try booting with acpi=off | 04:50 |
| cappiz | how do i make a deb from source? the source tree has a debian folder | 04:51 |
| ephemient | caustic: try updating ALSA; I'm looking for the best guide to doing so... | 04:51 |
| caustic | ephemient: thanks a ton. | 04:51 |
| mohkohn | will do. I just put that at the end of the grub menlu.list line? scguy318 | 04:52 |
| JimmyTheNose | Is there any way to enable a restricted driver pre boot on a live cd/dvd? because if i try to enable a restricted driver using the restricted driver manager it tells me a reboot is necessary, which kind of sucks with a live cd ;) | 04:52 |
| scguy318 | mohkohn: yeah | 04:52 |
| ephemient | caustic: of the suggestions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller, probably Method G is the easiest to try out first | 04:52 |
| mohkohn | ok will give it a go. | 04:52 |
| mohkohn | thanks | 04:52 |
| kitche | JimmyTheNose: all you have to do is restart X really | 04:52 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, do you think there is a dapper repos which would have done this for me??? I don't need version 2.2.2. | 04:52 |
| JimmyTheNose | hmm, tried that several times, the 'in use' checkbox was actually never ticked ... | 04:53 |
| fxfitz | Is there a way to make my ubuntu installation primarily spanish?? | 04:54 |
| VulcanRidr | q_a_z_steve: Why do you specifically want to run pidgin rather than gaim? | 04:54 |
| q_a_z_steve | does gaim do jabber? | 04:54 |
| somerville32 | q_a_z_steve, yes | 04:55 |
| ephemient | fxfitz: System > Administration > Language Support | 04:55 |
| caustic | brb | 04:55 |
| fxfitz | ephemient, I have changed it, but I see no spanish! :-P | 04:55 |
| ephemient | fxfitz: did you reboot? | 04:55 |
| q_a_z_steve | somerville32, that's the protocol for googletalk, right? | 04:56 |
| fxfitz | ephemient, Err. Hmm. Lets try that. | 04:56 |
| somerville32 | q_a_z_steve, yup | 04:56 |
| navetz | how do i resize my partition? | 04:56 |
| q_a_z_steve | somerville32, VulcanRidr this says I want to use TLS if available and Require TLS :@ | 04:56 |
| VulcanRidr | q_a_z_steve: Pidgin is gaim relabelled. | 04:56 |
| fxfitz | ephemient, Any idea what the difference between a check and a dash is in the Language Support window? | 04:57 |
| nephlim | hey gang | 04:57 |
| wol1 | hi all, 1st time here | 04:57 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, so then why isn't pidgin working, is it because I didn't compile in? How to:... | 04:57 |
| ephemient | fxfitz: a dash probably means partial support | 04:57 |
| bazhang | hi wol1 | 04:57 |
| wol1 | Is there anyone who can answer an apt repo question? | 04:58 |
| wol1 | hi! | 04:58 |
| somerville32 | q_a_z_steve, Why did you compile it yourself? | 04:58 |
| somerville32 | !ask | wol1 | 04:58 |
| ubotu | wol1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 04:58 |
| ephemient | wol1: on IRC, don't ask "can I ask a question", just ask | 04:58 |
| ephemient | ah | 04:58 |
| nephlim | wol1, what's the question? :) | 04:58 |
| ephemient | heh | 04:58 |
| bazhang | wol1: likely yes | 04:58 |
| VulcanRidr | q_a_z_steve: Possibly. Did you do a ./configure --help? Is there an ssl option? | 04:58 |
| q_a_z_steve | somerville32, dapper has no repos, that I could find. | 04:58 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, is there a clean way of 'sudo make uninstall' if I get there? | 04:58 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, did you try installing pidgin from apt-get? | 04:59 |
| wol1 | I'm trying to upgrade from Dapper to Edgy (yeah, can't wait for 2008). As of _right now_, ca.archive... is not up. | 04:59 |
| wol1 | So, I edited my sources.list to remove the ca. | 04:59 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, there's no repos for dapper that I can find | 04:59 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, "sudo apt-get install pidgin" minus the " " | 04:59 |
| wol1 | after learning that all canadian mirrors are very slow | 04:59 |
| JordiGH | How's wengophone as a replacement for Skype? Love it, hate it? | 04:59 |
| VulcanRidr | q_a_z_steve: You should be able to install overtop of the existing one. | 04:59 |
| bazhang | wol1: have you heard of source o matic? | 04:59 |
| somerville32 | !source | 05:00 |
| ubotu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 05:00 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, I'm talking if I do just use gaim | 05:00 |
| somerville32 | erm | 05:00 |
| somerville32 | !source-o-matic | 05:00 |
| ubotu | source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic | 05:00 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, what repos!!! | 05:00 |
| trwww | Jack_Sparrow: there is a power management section in the bios, but no option that says "Never Sleep" or anything like that. | 05:00 |
| trwww | The only thing I found was: | 05:00 |
| wol1 | however, after all references for "ca.archive.ubuntu.com" has been changed to "archive.ubuntu.com", Synaptic and apt-get update STILL try to access it. Can I make them totally forget about the existence of ca.archive.ubuntu.com? | 05:00 |
| ephemient | q_a_z_steve: I think we are all being confused by your usage of terminology here | 05:00 |
| trwww | "Serial ATA DIPM" | 05:00 |
| ephemient | q_a_z_steve: of course Dapper has repositories: http://archive.ubuntu.com/archive/dists/dapper/ | 05:00 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, i'm not sure, i have gutsy installed, and the apt-get worked for me | 05:00 |
| richardjc | hello | 05:01 |
| somerville32 | richardjc, hi | 05:01 |
| ephemient | err, typo | 05:01 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, have you tried downloading the package directly from the ubuntu apt-get page? | 05:01 |
| richardjc | does anyone know where the java SDK directory is? | 05:01 |
| bazhang | wol1: try this: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ | 05:01 |
| richardjc | i'm trying to install the WTK | 05:01 |
| trwww | "When enabled, the internal hard drive may initiate power management transition requests. | 05:01 |
| q_a_z_steve | ephemient, show me a repository which will allow me to install pidgin for dapper | 05:01 |
| wol1 | so the question in short is: can i totally remove a repository, making all the apt applications forget it? | 05:01 |
| ephemient | q_a_z_steve: oh, that's what you mean | 05:01 |
| trwww | I have an E1505N Dellbuntu | 05:01 |
| ephemient | q_a_z_steve: pidgin is not available for Dapper | 05:01 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, of what "page" do you speak? | 05:01 |
| ephemient | q_a_z_steve: Gaim is | 05:01 |
| somerville32 | wol1, Yes. Remove the repository and type and reload | 05:02 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, one sec, i'll see if i can find it | 05:02 |
| somerville32 | *and reload | 05:02 |
| bazhang | wol1: you can reconfigure your sources list at that link--worth a look imo | 05:02 |
| richardjc | anyone? | 05:02 |
| richardjc | help pls | 05:02 |
| wol1 | "type and reload"? | 05:02 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 05:02 |
| bazhang | wtk richardjc what's that | 05:02 |
| somerville32 | richardjc, packages.ubuntu.com/ | 05:02 |
| richardjc | wireless toolkit | 05:02 |
| osmosis | I have so many wireless problems on gutsy. Even more then I used to have on fiesty. | 05:03 |
| richardjc | i need to know the directory of the SDK | 05:03 |
| bazhang | not in repos richardjc? | 05:03 |
| richardjc | what folder is it in? | 05:03 |
| wol1 | my sources.list contains no reference at all to ca.archive.ubuntu.com, but the tools are still trying to access it. Is there a reason? | 05:03 |
| richardjc | not in repos | 05:03 |
| somerville32 | wol1, Did you reload? | 05:03 |
| somerville32 | wol1, apt-get update | 05:03 |
| somerville32 | wol1, Or click "reload" | 05:03 |
| richardjc | This application requires Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition (1.5 or later). Enter a path to a Java 2 SDK (For example: /user/jdk1.5/bin). You can type "exit" to cancel installation. | 05:03 |
| bazhang | wol1: source-o-matic will help you out--check the link | 05:03 |
| ephemient | wol1: yeah, apt-get update, also check if there's any /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list | 05:03 |
| wol1 | problem is, "sudo apt-get update" fails | 05:03 |
| somerville32 | wol1, Because it is looking for ca.archive.ubuntu.com?? | 05:04 |

| richardjc | help? | 05:05 |
| bazhang | wol1: please check that link | 05:05 |
| ephemient | wol1: you're sure all references to ca.archive.ubuntu.com have been edited out of /etc/apt/sources.list & sources.list.d/*.list ? | 05:05 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, did you happen to search that page, there's no mention of the word dapper | 05:05 |
| scguy318 | richardjc: the question? | 05:05 |
| wol1 | thanks...what i don't understand is...ok i'm checking sources.list.d/*list now | 05:05 |
| scguy318 | wol1: just change the mirror in Software Sources | 05:05 |
| somerville32 | richardjc, See http://packages.ubuntu.com | 05:05 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, yes there is | 05:05 |
| richardjc | what folder is the JAVA SDK installed to?? | 05:05 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, the frist like i sent, it's the frist flavour mentioned | 05:05 |
| somerville32 | richardjc, Visit http://packages.ubuntu.com to find out :) | 05:06 |
| wol1 | argh, so just removing from sources.list is not enough, i have to remove from sources.list.d/*list | 05:06 |
| ephemient | nephlim, q_a_z_steve: there is no Pidgin for Dapper. not in -updates, not in -backports, etc. | 05:06 |
| q_a_z_steve | !tell nephlim | 05:06 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tell nephlim - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:06 |
| ephemient | wol1: yes, because /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list are merged into sources.list | 05:06 |
| scguy318 | richardjc: lemme look | 05:06 |
| wol1 | alright, thanks all! I think i can manage it from now on. you guys are very helpful. I came from slackware since slack 3.5 and i *thought* i knew everything i needed, lol | 05:07 |
| bazhang | heh | 05:07 |
| somerville32 | :) | 05:07 |
| MdSalih | Hello all | 05:08 |
| nephlim | sorry then, i thought there was | 05:08 |
| bazhang | hi MdSalih | 05:08 |
| nephlim | just trying to help | 05:08 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, what happens when you try to build via source? | 05:08 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, I can build, now, but I'm looking through ./configure for ssl I guess. | 05:09 |
| MdSalih | I'm trying to get ubuntu (7.10) live disk running on my laptop... however when i select teh start/install book option... it does something.. then displays: 01428F00 | 05:09 |
| MdSalih | boot* | 05:09 |
| === Modius_ is now known as Modius | ||
| MdSalih | any idea what that could mean? | 05:09 |
| bazhang | MdSalih: is there a disk check option? | 05:10 |
| MdSalih | yes running that now | 05:10 |
| scguy318 | richardjc: hmm, Synaptic wasn't particularly insightful | 05:10 |
| scguy318 | richardjc: it just pointed me to /usr/share/doc | 05:10 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, ephemient nephlim http://q_a_z_steve.pastebin.org/9285 | 05:11 |
| eyemean | hello all, | 05:11 |
| bazhang | hi eyemean | 05:11 |
| q_a_z_steve | VulcanRidr, ephemient nephlim should I use something like that? | 05:11 |
| MdSalih | disk check does the same thing.. displays: 01428F00 | 05:11 |
| nonewmsgs | i have just installed xp on pata disk 1, ubuntu on pata disk 2 and am using /home and general storage on sata disk 1. grub is written to pata disk 1. is there a way to move grub to the other disk or install it there | 05:11 |
| eyemean | has any1 notice how sometimes wen u delete large files, ubuntu 7.10 deletes them but doesnt actually free the space | 05:12 |
| pwn | Can wget download a file with multiple threads? | 05:12 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, i'm not sure. If it's configured wrong, you could always try it again right? | 05:12 |
| ephemient | pwn: see gnome-freeloader or aria2 packages | 05:12 |
| scguy318 | eyemean: I haven't noticed | 05:12 |
| nephlim | just don't make install if it's borked | 05:13 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, yeah, no problem, should I use one of those you think? | 05:13 |
| eyemean | ok, then i guess its just me, lol | 05:13 |
| ephemient | eyemean: if a file has link count greater than 1, deleting one link will free no space because it is still referenced by other links | 05:13 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, try it out and see, worst that can happen is that you delete every file on your computer and then it catches fire | 05:13 |
| scguy318 | pwn: not really, doing socket I/O for a single file doesn't really require a thread | 05:13 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, I actually compiled all this from /Desktop/pidgin... any harm in moving that folder? | 05:13 |
| eyemean | ephemient, no i delete the files directly | 05:13 |
| LtEmerpoc | sup again guy | 05:14 |
| LtEmerpoc | sup again guys&& | 05:14 |
| scguy318 | hello | 05:14 |
| LtEmerpoc | back again lol | 05:14 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, lol | 05:14 |
| LtEmerpoc | to annoy people with my silly noob questions | 05:14 |
| scguy318 | there are no noob questions :) | 05:14 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, i usually make and cofig all that stuff in a /home/user folder | 05:14 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, like, /home/dan/pidgin | 05:14 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, I didn't think of that at first | 05:14 |
| LtEmerpoc | so scguy you think you can answer my question | 05:15 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, but if you wanted to move the folder, i can't see a big deal. just move it before you make install | 05:15 |
| scguy318 | LtEmerpoc: well shoot | 05:15 |
| pwn | scguy318: Thanks :) | 05:15 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, just wondering, why no upgrade to gutsy? | 05:15 |
| Cpudan80 | Hello all | 05:15 |
| LtEmerpoc | help me fix my resolution back to 1280x1024 | 05:16 |
| Cpudan80 | I need some help with my fstab file -- currently I have a FAT32 partition mounted, but nobody (not even root) can write to the partition | 05:16 |
| scguy318 | LtEmerpoc: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and tell me what your monitor is | 05:16 |
| Cpudan80 | How can I change the fstab file so that at least root can write to the partition ? | 05:16 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, older computer, want to install less, LTS is huge to me | 05:16 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, ahh | 05:16 |
| scguy318 | Cpudan80: whats the fstab entry? you may want to stick like umask=000 for mount option | 05:16 |
| neil_d_ | with an exe file how do I find out what .so files it linking with ? | 05:16 |
| mike_ | hey dose any body have trouble unloading ipw3495 | 05:16 |
| _nix_ | Cpudan80: that partition is probably mounted read-only | 05:17 |
| Cpudan80 | scguy318: UUID=0950-920C /media/sdb4 vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 | 05:17 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, sooner or later I'm probably going to refer people to my website who ask that, you're about the 50th... | 05:17 |
| bruenig | mike_, did you kill the daemon too or just unload the module? | 05:17 |
| scguy318 | Cpudan80: change that umask=007 to umask=000 | 05:17 |
| Cpudan80 | okie dokie | 05:17 |
| scguy318 | neil_d_: since EXE files are of the PE format, and .so shared object files are in ELF, your question doesn't make sense :P | 05:17 |
| jayson_r | q_a_z_steve: Gutsy and Dapper are both supported till 2009, so LTS is almost a moot point at this time | 05:17 |
| _nix_ | sigh | 05:17 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, website contents would be the explanation and a counter lol | 05:17 |
| Cpudan80 | scguy318: Can I somehow remount the stuff without rebooting the whole PC? | 05:17 |
| scguy318 | Cpudan80: sure | 05:17 |
| scguy318 | Cpudan80: sudo mount -a | 05:17 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, i'm really not all about the latest and greatest. i havn't updated my mac yet either | 05:18 |
| LtEmerpoc | http://www.pastebin.org/9270 | 05:18 |
| scguy318 | Cpudan80: sudo umount -a then that | 05:18 |
| mike_ | well my laptop wont sleep. after dooing allot of poking aorund i discovers that it can't unload the module for my wireles card. | 05:18 |
| K | What's the best free media player for ubuntu? This program 'totem' that came preinstalled can't play dvds for some reason. | 05:18 |
| scguy318 | Cpudan80: or just sudo umount the mount point | 05:18 |
| scguy318 | K: VLC, mplayer | 05:18 |
| bruenig | mike_, oh so you haven't tried to unload the module, you have just realized that hibernation won't do it? | 05:18 |
| LtEmerpoc | its a 19" widescreen.. | 05:18 |
| scguy318 | K: if the reason you can't play is because the DVD is CSS protected | 05:18 |
| neil_d_ | scguy318, ok I used the wrong terminology I just complied a file with gcc, I want to know what .so files its using. | 05:18 |
| scguy318 | !medibuntu | K | 05:18 |
| ubotu | K: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 05:18 |
| scguy318 | neil_d_: ah, lemme look | 05:18 |
| q_a_z_steve | DOES anyone in here have a bunch of rhythmbox internet radio stations they can help me get configured? I somehow deleted mine!? | 05:19 |
| Cpudan80 | scguy318: still no go | 05:19 |
| _nix_ | neil_d: ldd <file> should give an output | 05:19 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, www.somafm.com SFW | 05:19 |
| mike_ | bruenig_, i did try to unload it once but i did not kill the daemon. how shoudl i go about dooing that.? | 05:19 |
| eyemean | sometimes i goto windows and check the ubuntu waste folder and still find items in it, even though i deleted the files in ubuntu, they were not links | 05:19 |
| nephlim | the best 11 FREE streaming electronic radio stations out there | 05:19 |
| LtEmerpoc | yeah scguy... its weird | 05:19 |
| bruenig | mike_, I think ipw3945d --kill | 05:20 |
| Cpudan80 | Wait a minute | 05:20 |
| ephemient | eyemean: I meant hardlinks not symlinks... not what you were thinking of? | 05:20 |
| Cpudan80 | It's just the one folder that is screwed up | 05:20 |
| K | are many dvds protected by css? | 05:20 |
| Cpudan80 | Damn windows file permissions | 05:20 |
| scguy318 | K: commerical ones yes | 05:20 |
| K | does mplayer come with a css reader? | 05:20 |

| K | ty all | 05:21 |
| scguy318 | LtEmerpoc: have you pasted your xorg.conf yet? this channel is a flood | 05:21 |
| bruenig | mike_, you know they have new drivers for ipw3945 that don't require a daemon, iwl3945 is the name of the module | 05:21 |
| bomb | Hey everyone, I know this isnt ubuntu spcecific, but I would like to get my sprint treo 650 to verizon. I have checked out shadowmites site and it seems kinda out dated...is there ANYONE here that might be able to help me find what I need? | 05:21 |
| bruenig | !ot | bomb | 05:22 |
| ubotu | bomb: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 05:22 |
| bomb | heh, thanks. | 05:22 |
| pwn | scguy318: I tried both those packages. freeloader doesn't say anything about mulithreaded downloads. Aria2 didn't even work. Anything else? | 05:22 |
| MasterShrek | bomb, look for a hack to unlock it | 05:22 |
| neil_d_ | I am using gcc to compile a program is there anyway I can force it not to use any '.so' files, so it would be stand alone ? | 05:22 |
| scguy318 | LtEmerpoc: have you pasted your xorg.conf yet? | 05:22 |
| Kalamansi | gksu gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 05:22 |
| Kalamansi | -bash: gksu: command not found | 05:22 |
| LtEmerpoc | scguy yeah.. i did.. but i just noticed that.. there are more than one in the folder | 05:22 |
| MasterShrek | gksudo | 05:23 |
| _nix_ | neil_d: you may want to pass the -static flag | 05:23 |
| bomb | MasterShrek, I have been looking for days..I thought I would come here since there is the most people here and im sure ONE of you have done this hack. Thanks though | 05:23 |
| scguy318 | pwn: you don't need multithreaded downloading | 05:23 |
| Kalamansi | thanks | 05:23 |
| ephemient | neil_d_: -static | 05:23 |
| scguy318 | pwn: for a download manager I would use d4x | 05:23 |
| pwn | scguy318: Yes I do | 05:23 |
| neil_d_ | _nix_, ephemient ok I will try. | 05:23 |
| nephlim | q_a_z_steve, what did you think of somafm? | 05:23 |
| pwn | scguy318: I have 2 internet lines with a load balancing router | 05:23 |
| Kalamansi | MasterShrek: | 05:23 |
| Kalamansi | gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 05:23 |
| Kalamansi | -bash: gksudo: command not found | 05:23 |
| q_a_z_steve | nephlim, I'll have to take a look in a bit, looks okay, I'll be back in a bit. | 05:23 |
| ephemient | Kalamansi: are you running a full Ubuntu desktop, or Kubuntu, or Xubuntu, or none? | 05:24 |
| mike_ | bruenig_, well i can find ipw3945d-2.6.2 using tab completion but it says command not found when i try to execute it. even as root. | 05:24 |
| Kalamansi | ephemient : ubuntu 6.06LTS server | 05:25 |
| scguy318 | pwn: doesn't mean you need to thread, which is of questionable value anyway | 05:25 |
| mike_ | bruenig_, where would i find that other driver you talked about | 05:25 |
| pwn | scguy318: If I don't then it'll only use either of my lines. | 05:25 |
| MasterShrek | Kalamansi, without a gui youd have to use sudo vi or sudo nano | 05:25 |
| ephemient | Kalamansi: ah. a) are you running X? b) what's your preferred editor? | 05:25 |
| ephemient | Kalamansi: yeah. just use "sudo $EDITOR /etc/ssh/sshd_config" | 05:25 |
| Kalamansi | ephemient : i dont run X.pure console | 05:26 |
| scguy318 | pwn: isn't that a matter of tweaking interface metric? | 05:26 |
| osmosis | mike_: wireless issues ? | 05:26 |
| neil_d_ | _nix_, ephemient, well that worked but it sure made a quite simple program very big. | 05:26 |
| scguy318 | pwn: not that I'm a networking expert, but perhaps take a shot at d4x | 05:26 |
| _nix_ | neil_d: it packaged a lot of libraries into a single file.. that was expected | 05:27 |
| Tornadochas3r01 | hi everyone | 05:28 |

| scguy318 | carbanm: you can use Restricted drivers (not really working all that great) or use ndiswrapper | 05:35 |
| solidunit | thx ephemient | 05:35 |
| mike_ | osmosis: yaa if you do unload the module it will often get messed up. if you never suspend it will work fine. thats how it was in fiesty. to fix the problem gusty did somthing to prevent it from beeing unloaded. | 05:35 |
| carbanm | does NDISwrapper work off the bat? | 05:35 |

| DigitalNinja_ | scguy318: Do I add that to an email | 05:41 |

| jediborger | I'm staying on one filesystem | 05:41 |
| scguy318 | DigitalNinja_: it would be like in an attachment | 05:41 |

| snausage | is there something i need to change in ubuntu to have my laptop run cooler? semms to run hot and wont run off battery ?? | 06:22 |
| macksting | Second day on Linux. There's a long command I've been using to open a program with, like, parameters and stuff. I know I'll be doing this regularly. I hear tell of "scripts," or something akin. First off, am I hallucinating? Second off, how do I make one if, in fact, they are not akin to Ogopogo? :) | 06:22 |
| bitbit | scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45756/ -- Xorg.0.log | 06:22 |
| scguy318 | macksting: shortcut? | 06:22 |
| buibui | Does anyone know how i can get my ubuntu comp to act like a xp comp in a workgroup | 06:23 |
| toresn | does anyone here happen to use MOC (music on console) ? | 06:23 |
| macksting | scguy: I dunno. I've been punching it into the terminal up until now; something I could click would be nice. | 06:23 |
| toresn | if so, how do you use iconv? | 06:23 |
| macksting | Like I said, second day. | 06:23 |
| snausage | is there something i need to change in ubuntu to have my laptop run cooler? semms to run hot and wont run off battery ?? | 06:23 |
| crazy6 | macksting: you mean like for command line stuff? or just for starting programs? | 06:24 |
| scguy318 | macksting: make a shortcut | 06:24 |
| scguy318 | macksting: with the Terminal command as the, well, command | 06:24 |
| ablyss | macksting: i use .bashrc for long commands i use a lot. just edit .bashrc and add an alias, e.g. alias long_command="<actual command here>". Then run the alias next time | 06:24 |
| macksting | Ablyss: That's a thought. I might do both. | 06:25 |
| macksting | scguy318: So do I kinda right-click somewhere? | 06:25 |
| ablyss | works great for long custom scripts | 06:25 |
| macksting | It's not that long a command, really, just a line or two. More than I want to regularly type. | 06:25 |
| scguy318 | macksting: yeah | 06:26 |
| scguy318 | macksting: the desktop, should have create launcher or shortcut | 06:26 |
| ma2 | how here knows what is DRI ? | 06:26 |
| ToddEDM | wow, right on , COD is installing | 06:26 |
| ltemerpocsus | yeah... nothing changed.. | 06:26 |
| ephemient | macksting: just put it into a text file with "#!/bin/sh" on the top, and "chmod +x" that file | 06:26 |
| ltemerpocsus | nothing scguy | 06:26 |
| ToddEDM | yes, the original | 06:26 |
| ablyss | yeah, if the command doesn't require a working directory then a shortcut launcher would be better | 06:26 |
| bullgard4 | I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.4/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well? | 06:26 |
| buibui | Does anyone know how i can get my ubuntu comp to act like a xp comp in a workgroup | 06:26 |
| ltemerpocsus | i feel like an idiot | 06:26 |
| bitbit | scguy318: any idea how to fix this? | 06:27 |
| macksting | Hard to say, ablyss. | 06:27 |
| ltemerpocsus | and asking the right questions and getting the right help but i dont know | 06:27 |
| snausage | is there something i need to change in ubuntu to have my laptop run cooler? semms to run hot and wont run off battery ?? anyone?? | 06:27 |
| scguy318 | bitbit: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45757/ | 06:27 |
| crazy6 | snausage: maybe do a dmesg | less in a terminal and see if acpi is loading? | 06:27 |
| scguy318 | bitbit: ive edited it | 06:27 |
| ltemerpocsus | scguy.. | 06:27 |
| macksting | Eph: Okaydium. scguy318: For some reason, I couldn't find any text on the desktop referring to that, nor anything obvious in right-click or other menus. | 06:27 |
| scguy318 | bitbit: try using that | 06:27 |
| scguy318 | yes? | 06:27 |
| scguy318 | ltemerpocsus: yes? | 06:27 |
| ablyss | macksting: for instance I have an alias that adds a shadow to all the jpegs in my current directory so it would be impossible to do that via a shortcut | 06:28 |
| snausage | crazy6 sorry i have no idea what that means | 06:28 |
| crazy6 | snausage: and maybe try opening the systme monitor (depends what window manager you're using?) and see if your CPU is getting frequency scaled? | 06:28 |
| jacob | what is grep and find and how are they related? | 06:28 |
| ltemerpocsus | can you maybe just do it once | 06:28 |
| ltemerpocsus | for me | 06:28 |
| scguy318 | jacob: grep applies a regex to its input | 06:28 |
| crazy6 | snausage: oh, well, do you know how to open a terminal? there's a shortcut for it... somewhere | 06:28 |
| ltemerpocsus | remote desktop or whatver | 06:28 |
| scguy318 | ltemerpocsus: sure I guess, | 06:28 |
| snausage | ya i know that | 06:28 |
| jacob | scguy318: i don't get that | 06:28 |
| scguy318 | ltemerpocsus: you'll have to reg to PM me, and you need to port forward 5900 of course | 06:28 |
| snausage | just what would i type ( or paste in) | 06:28 |
| scguy318 | jacob: what do you mean? | 06:29 |
| toresn | does anyone here happen to use MOC (music on console) ? | 06:29 |
| toresn | if so, how do you use iconv? | 06:29 |
| crazy6 | snausage: (keep in mind this is only a shot in the dark, I don't know how to fix anything) open a terminal, type in "dmesg | less" (that character is a vertical, shift + \) | 06:29 |
| scguy318 | jacob: from the man page: grep, egrep, fgrep, rgrep - print lines matching a pattern | 06:29 |
| bullgard4 | buibui: 'to act as' is a rather fuzzy word. Re-word your question so that it becomes more precise. You probably want to install and configure Samba. | 06:29 |
| buibui | i need xp comp to be able to grab files from my ubuntu desktop | 06:29 |
| ephemient | jacob: grep is a (text) filter, find recursively searches for files | 06:30 |
| snausage | is there something i should be looking for now? | 06:30 |
| buibui | i know it something to do with samba | 06:30 |
| scguy318 | macksting: using GNOME? | 06:30 |
| scguy318 | macksting: or Xfce? | 06:30 |
| crazy6 | snausage: thats the debugging messages that your kernel spits out as it is starting up, as individal modules (drivers) load. look around for a line that says "ACPI" (caps or not). you can search by pressing '/', typing in "acpi" and hitting enter | 06:30 |
| buibui | i got it working before, so i could see my ubuntu comp from my windows comp | 06:30 |
| buibui | but i ve completely forgotten how | 06:30 |
| jacob | scguy318: ok, go on | 06:30 |
| * macksting isn't even quite sure what those are. Should he wiki, or is there some terminal command he can paste to find out? | 06:30 | |
| scguy318 | macksting: tell me what Ubuntu you're using :) | 06:30 |
| macksting | 7.04 | 06:30 |
| ComPro | my fglrx driver doesn't work anymore. it's the one that came with gutsy. | 06:30 |
| scguy318 | macksting: GNOME and Xfce are desktop managers | 06:30 |
| scguy318 | grep, egrep, fgrep, rgrep - print lines matching a pattern | 06:31 |
| scguy318 | oops | 06:31 |
| jacob | then how is find and locate different from each other | 06:31 |
| ComPro | X will not start properly | 06:31 |
| macksting | Ubuntu 7.04, not particularly Kubuntu or anything s'far as I can tell. | 06:31 |
| bullgard4 | buibui: Your wording still is not precise. So I cannot help you. | 06:31 |
| scguy318 | jacob: find walks through the filesystem | 06:31 |
| crazy6 | snausage: oh, the other easier thing is that you can open another terminal, and type "top" , it'll give you a live printout of what is loading up your system (look under CPU column) | 06:31 |
| scguy318 | jacob: doing whatever is asked of it | 06:31 |
| scguy318 | jacob: locate in contrast just searches an index | 06:31 |
| scguy318 | jacob: generated by updatedb | 06:31 |
| ToddEDM | hey guys, im installing a game under WINE, and its asking for the second CD..... it wont let me eject it !!! | 06:31 |
| snausage | ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [C0C0] enabled at IRQ 11 | 06:31 |
| snausage | [ 174.596000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> Link [C0C0] -> GSI 11 (lev | 06:31 |
| snausage | el, low) -> IRQ 11 | 06:31 |
| jacob | scguy318, ok that makes sense thx | 06:32 |
| ToddEDM | any solutions? | 06:32 |
| scguy318 | ToddEDM: wine eject ... | 06:32 |
| ToddEDM | ? | 06:32 |
| scguy318 | ToddEDM: wine eject thedriveletter | 06:32 |
| crazy6 | snausage: eh, if it doesn't say there was an error, who knows. check "top" | 06:32 |
| scguy318 | ToddEDM: thats a command to run | 06:32 |
| buibui | I dont know how else i can explain. I need to access files on my ubuntu comp from xp comp through network, so since i am using workgroups, i need my ubuntu comp to act as a xp comp and join the workgroup so i can access its files | 06:32 |
| scguy318 | ToddEDM: the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive in Wine, if you don't know run winecfg and look at Drives tab | 06:32 |
| scguy318 | macksting: ok, I think I kinda left you in the dust there | 06:33 |
| scguy318 | macksting: if you right click on the Desktop | 06:33 |
| macksting | I'm afraid I'm easy to get dusty. | 06:33 |
| ComPro | i need some help please. i rebooted and now my fglrx driver will not work. x will not start properly if fglrx is specified in my xorg.conf file | 06:33 |
| scguy318 | macksting: you know, with the pretty background and all | 06:33 |
| crazy6 | snausage: see if anything is sitting there using 50% or more of the CPU | 06:33 |
| scguy318 | macksting: there should be a choice called Create Launcher | 06:33 |
| scguy318 | macksting: that's how you create a shortcut | 06:33 |
| bitbit | scguy318: still doesnt work | 06:34 |
| scguy318 | macksting: affectionately known as .desktop files, just ordinary text files | 06:34 |
| scguy318 | bitbit: same thing? | 06:34 |
| ToddEDM | thganks scguy318 | 06:34 |
| snausage | acpi: looking for dsdt in initramfs... error , file /dsdt.aml not found. | 06:35 |
| macksting | scguy318: Ah! I'm starting to get the idea. Should I paste a copy of the command so's you can tell me how to fill in the blanks? It'd shed some light on the command process for me, too. | 06:35 |
| snausage | would that be the problem? | 06:35 |
| scguy318 | macksting: sure | 06:35 |
| bitbit | scguy318: yeah, same thing. listen when I isntalled Ubuntu a few days ago it made the screen res look okay all by itself, can I make it do is again somehow? | 06:35 |
| snausage | crazy6 acpi: looking for dsdt in initramfs... error , file /dsdt.aml not found. | 06:35 |
| scguy318 | bitbit: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg perhaps | 06:35 |
| macksting | from terminal: ALEPHONE_DATA='/usr/local/share/AlephOne/M1A1' alephone | 06:35 |
| crazy6 | snausage: interesting, not sure... google it | 06:35 |
| crazy6 | snausage: or some subset of it | 06:35 |
| scguy318 | macksting: you should be at the Create Launcher dialog right now | 06:36 |
| CapaH | Hello all. I have a PCI NetGear RangeMax Wireless Wifi Adapter WPN311 --- Ubuntu sets up some restricted drivers, and when I iwconfig I can see two new interfaces: wifi0 and ath0 --- now, neither one "works" in that I cannot use either one to actually connect to a network. Using ath0 I can iwscan --- Can ANYONE help me on this? | 06:36 |
| scguy318 | macksting: for the Name field, whatever you want | 06:36 |
| scguy318 | macksting: the Command field what you just pasted for me | 06:36 |
| * macksting feels kinda silly now. | 06:36 | |
| scguy318 | macksting: Comment whatever you want, its just additional information | 06:36 |
| scguy318 | macksting: for the tooltip | 06:36 |
| * macksting feels really silly now. | 06:36 | |
| macksting | Thanks. | 06:36 |
| ComPro | please i need some help desperately. i rebooted and X will not start with fglrx set as my driver. | 06:38 |
| RandomOutburst | when i go into the terminal and type umount /dev/hd0, or any of my drives for that matter, it just says not found. anyone know why? | 06:38 |
| Fezzler | how do I send a txt file or other out the ttyUSB0 in Ubuntu/Linux? Is there a ProComm like terminal/modem program in Ubuntu? | 06:38 |
| ngupta | Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me. | 06:38 |
| magic_ninja | E: /var/cache/apt/archives/language-pack-en_1%3a7.10+20071120_all.deb: files list file for package `foo2zjs' is missing final newline | 06:38 |
| scguy318 | Fezzler: cat txtfile > /dev/ttyUSB0 | 06:39 |
| scguy318 | Fezzler: probably doesn't work but random thought | 06:39 |
| ma2 | how do i use this"$ git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel" ? | 06:39 |
| jbmigel | ComPro does X give you an error on startup? | 06:39 |
| scguy318 | ma2: as it's written, without the prompt | 06:39 |
| RandomOutburst | ? | 06:39 |
| ma2 | what is prompt | 06:39 |
| scguy318 | ma2: the $ | 06:39 |
| scguy318 | ma2: you need to install Git before running that of course | 06:39 |
| ComPro | jbmigel: no it either loads to a black screen and i cant even switch to a terminal, or it will load with a low resolution and say that it couldnt properly detect my card | 06:39 |
| bitbit | scguy318: hey! it worked! thank you so much! | 06:40 |
| ngupta | Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me. | 06:40 |
| ma2 | scguy318:how i do that ? | 06:40 |
| scguy318 | bitbit: np | 06:40 |
| scguy318 | ma2: sudo apt-get install git I think | 06:40 |
| buibui | I need to access files on my ubuntu comp from my seperate xp comp through network, so since i am using workgroups, i need my ubuntu comp to act as a xp comp and join the workgroup so i can access its files. Anyone know how?? | 06:40 |
| jbmigel | ComPro you have set your driver = "fglrx" in your xorg.conf? | 06:41 |
| macksting | Curious. The command works fine in the terminal, but doesn't work in the shortcut. | 06:41 |
| macksting | I'm being asked to test something totally different right now. Be back in a few. | 06:41 |
| ComPro | jbmigel: yes. if i set it back to vesa, i can get in just fine, but then i cant set up dual head or use compiz or anything. | 06:41 |
| techII | ok, how do i change the codec that the snd-hda-intel module uses? /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 gives me "Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054" while codec#3 gives me "Codec: Realtek ID 268" | 06:41 |
| ngupta | Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me. | 06:41 |
| techII | buibui, look at "samba", don't ask me about configuring it | 06:42 |
| jbmigel | ComPro did you compile your own fglrx or use a package? | 06:42 |
| scguy318 | macksting: oh | 06:42 |
| ma2 | scguy318:am i doing is right i found this link from intel for is chip | 06:42 |
| scguy318 | macksting: when you come back | 06:42 |
| scguy318 | ma2: I'm not sure that's a good solution | 06:42 |
| scguy318 | macksting: I forgot to mention this | 06:43 |
| scguy318 | macksting: prefix the ALEPHONE_DATA with env | 06:43 |
| ComPro | jbmigel: i went about it by enabling it in the restricted driver manager | 06:43 |
| magic_ninja | how do i ls a dir yet only show files with certain characters | 06:43 |
| magic_ninja | for instance only files starting with f | 06:43 |
| un1xxen | omg . i love the gutsy gibbon | 06:43 |
| mohkohn | virtualbox or xen for running winxp as a vm? | 06:44 |
| ngupta | Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me. | 06:44 |
| jbmigel | ComPro what ATI card do you have installed? | 06:44 |
| * un1xxen loves you all | 06:44 | |
| scguy318 | magic_ninja: ls /that/dir/f* | 06:44 |
| * un1xxen is uber happy | 06:44 | |
| macksting | So env ALEPHONE? | 06:44 |
| scguy318 | macksting: like | 06:44 |
| * un1xxen quits windows .. yay | 06:44 | |
| ComPro | jbmigel: i went about it by enabling it in the restricted driverjbmigel: ATI Radeon x1650 | 06:44 |
| ere4si | magic_ninja: try ls /dir | grep f | 06:44 |
| scguy318 | macksting: env ALEPHONE_DATA="/usr/local/share/AlephOne/M1A1" alephone | 06:45 |
| scguy318 | macksting: like that | 06:45 |
| magic_ninja | ere4si and scguy318 ty | 06:45 |
| buibui | everyone told me too "look at samba" | 06:45 |
| scguy318 | macksting: the shortcut command is kinda different from what bash takes | 06:45 |
| buibui | I already have | 06:45 |
| buibui | anyway | 06:45 |
| techII | about my sound problem, "Caller ID" and "Off-hook" flags appear in alsamixer, along with a "Master" volume control, nothing else is there; speakers work, but it seems like the mixer is dealing with a modem | 06:45 |
| buibui | think i've found simpler method | 06:45 |
| buibui | even has a youtube video | 06:45 |
| ere4si | buibui: look at nfs :) | 06:45 |
| techII | the master volume control seems to work with the speakers | 06:45 |
| ngupta | Hi all, I am having a strange problem here. On battery my system starts hibernating after some time of inactivity. This is annoying while watching a video. How can I disable this? Hope somebody can help me. | 06:45 |
| macksting | scguy318: I'll try to bear that in mind. The shortcut works fine now! | 06:45 |
| macksting | I'll make sure to copy that formula for further shortcuts, until such time as I've dissected this thing enough to know how to do more with it. | 06:46 |
| macksting | Danke! | 06:46 |
| scguy318 | macksting: np, there's probably docs for Freedesktop.org stuff | 06:46 |
| scguy318 | macksting: that's a standard so to speak for Linux desktops | 06:47 |
| scguy318 | macksting: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | 06:47 |
| magic_ninja | now the next step | 06:47 |
| techII | ngupta, the "inhibit panel" applet, or look under System>Preferences>Power Management | 06:47 |
| techII | s/inhibit panel/inhibit applet | 06:48 |
| magic_ninja | my proc runs at 1.1ghz right now, but it used to run at 1.4, for some reason it crashes when i run it at 1.4 but i never had a problem before, will linux still boot like normal if i simply reset the proc in bios or will i need a new kernel | 06:48 |
| ComPro | does anyone know what would make the fglrx driver suddenly not work? i rebooted from a working configuration, no changes, and X failed to load again, no errors. | 06:48 |
| scguy318 | magic_ninja: you wont need a new kernel | 06:48 |
| jbmigel | ComPro have you tried editing only the device section of xorg.conf to fglrx and dont screw with compiz? | 06:49 |
| ngupta | techII, I've tried that. In my power preferences, I have put to sleep when : never | 06:49 |
| techII | ngupta, then i have no idea | 06:49 |
| ngupta | ok, thanks. | 06:49 |
| ComPro | jbmigel: yes, i've backed up my xorg.conf and started from scratch. the only thing changed right now from defaults is telling it that it's fglrx | 06:49 |
| magic_ninja | now | 06:49 |
| ma2 | scguy318:the thing is i dont know if am doing it right | 06:50 |
| magic_ninja | my next question | 06:50 |
| magic_ninja | what are some probable things that would cause my cpu to overheat | 06:50 |
| scguy318 | ma2: I'm not sure what you're trying to do is a good idea | 06:50 |
| scguy318 | magic_ninja: inadequate cooling ;) | 06:50 |
| magic_ninja | i'm fairly certain its running cool enough, the only crashes i get are when running cs for more then an hour | 06:50 |
| bullgard4 | I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.4/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well? | 06:50 |
| ma2 | scguy318:am trying to fix dri and enable 3D on my graphic card | 06:50 |
| scguy318 | bullgard4: perhaps linux-headers-2.6.22.4 isn't installed | 06:50 |
| magic_ninja | scguy318: it always ran fine before after i replaced the cpu fan | 06:51 |
| jbmigel | ComPro can you pastebin your Xorg.0.log? | 06:51 |
| magic_ninja | scguy318: rusty on hardware i havn't done much of it for a few years, but i'm about to build a new comp so i need to brush up on it >.< | 06:51 |
| bitbit | another problem: my screen is connected to the motherboard, when I try to connect it to my graphics card the screen goes into "power saving mode" | 06:51 |
| kryptik_ | anyone here know of a channel on cracking vb progs? | 06:51 |
| toresn | i need some help with mplayer | 06:51 |
| scguy318 | kryptik_: cracking like? | 06:51 |
| scguy318 | magic_ninja: hmm I'm no hardware expert myself | 06:52 |
| magic_ninja | bitbit: your graphics card isn't being detected | 06:52 |
| scguy318 | magic_ninja: I'm still running stuff from like 2000 :P | 06:52 |
| ComPro | jbmigel: where is said file, and what is pastebin? | 06:52 |
| magic_ninja | same | 06:52 |
| magic_ninja | xp 1700+ | 06:52 |
| Link | i have a question about WUBI | 06:52 |
| magic_ninja | athalon that is | 06:52 |
| bitbit | magic_ninja: what should I do? | 06:52 |

| toresn | and then it wont be fullscreen | 06:53 |
| scguy318 | kryptik_: but im sure theres a channel for reverse engineering | 06:53 |

| kryptik_ | do you think it would be possible to crack a windows vb program under linux without the use of wine or the like | 06:53 |
| bitbit | magic_ninja: k, brb | 06:53 |
| tntCry | please any experts in networking and ports? | 06:54 |

| RandomOutburst | umm i dont know i guess, or with the shell | 06:56 |
| scguy318 | kryptik_: read up on winedbg or VM :P | 06:56 |
| kryptik_ | the forum suggested vmware.... but have no idea about it | 06:56 |
| Fezzler | What does this mean? "crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 224 2007-11-25 00:48 /dev/ttyd0" | 06:56 |
| kryptik_ | and you do aswell | 06:56 |
| tntCry | emja, maybe you have a dead ram | 06:56 |
| magic_ninja | tntCry: use a proxy server with an okay port to connect to irc | 06:56 |
| emja | tntCry: something very wrong here. fresh ubuntu install, no openoffice settings in /home/user | 06:56 |
| scguy318 | buzzsaw: sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev | 06:56 |
| RandomOutburst | how would i unmount it? | 06:57 |
| emja | tntCry: good point. I will run memtest | 06:57 |
| scguy318 | RandomOutburst: in Nautilus right click, Unmount | 06:57 |
| emja | thx | 06:57 |
| scguy318 | RandomOutburst: CLI sudo umount /the/mnt/point | 06:57 |
| tntCry | anybody else know how to bypass university ports , coz i cant connect with IRC , and i cant start pidgins . however with xp i can run msn messenger in the uni | 06:57 |
| RandomOutburst | i need to format a partition and qtparted wont let me until its unmounted | 06:57 |
| pakratt | you still around cryonv? | 06:57 |
| tntCry | emja, it can be even because u have compiz enabled and many other app's | 06:58 |
| RandomOutburst | im using backtrack 2 btw | 06:58 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: SSH out? | 06:58 |
| emja | tntCry: no compiz. possible other apps from medibuntu repo | 06:58 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: or Tor | 06:58 |
| RandomOutburst | but it should more or less be the same as ubuntu yes? | 06:58 |
| buzzsaw | so with ubuntu is my user root? | 06:58 |
| tntCry | scguy318, what do you mean? | 06:58 |
| buzzsaw | is that why i need to sudo? | 06:58 |
| bullgard1 | RandomOutburst: This is a security measure. Thank God that this security measure is built in. | 06:58 |
| scguy318 | RandomOutburst: yeah | 06:58 |
| emja | buzzsaw: no. sudo is because you're not root | 06:58 |
| Reng | hey is screenlets.org down for you guys? i can seem to get to their site | 06:58 |
| RandomOutburst | when i try umount /dev /hd1 it just says not found | 06:58 |
| buzzsaw | well it asks me for MY password | 06:59 |
| tntCry | scguy318, with windows i can use msn messenger , but with ubuntu i cant login msn with pidgins however i can do surfing exactly like windows | 06:59 |
| scguy318 | buzzsaw: yeah to elevate privileges to root, since your account is in /etc/sudoers | 06:59 |
| emja | buzzsaw: yes, because you're authorised to run things as root with sudo | 06:59 |
| buzzsaw | ok :-) | 06:59 |
| magic_ninja | tntCry: set your protocol | 06:59 |
| tntCry | huh | 06:59 |
| RandomOutburst | what would be wrong? | 07:00 |
| buzzsaw | its been a few years but if i remember correctley to install a tarball after i unzip it i ./configure make make install ? | 07:00 |
| Reng | can you guy check if this site www.screenlets.org work? | 07:00 |
| scguy318 | buzzsaw: yep, though one small tweak for the last thing | 07:00 |
| scguy318 | buzzsaw: sudo make install, since make will write to directories owned by root | 07:00 |
| peterbilt | RandomOutburst - lose the space | 07:00 |
| scguy318 | Reng: ditto her | 07:01 |
| tntCry | any app that can by pass uni ports in ubuntu :( comon its linux.. | 07:01 |
| buzzsaw | ok so then ./configure make sudo make install | 07:01 |
| RandomOutburst | so umount/dev/hd1 ? | 07:01 |
| scguy318 | RandomOutburst: umount /dev/hdd1 | 07:01 |
| emja | RandomOutburst: umount /dev/hd1 | 07:01 |
| emja | snap | 07:01 |
| scguy318 | RandomOutburst: I don't think it's hd1 :P | 07:01 |
| emja | yeah, that too. ;-) | 07:01 |
| RandomOutburst | why not scguy318? | 07:02 |
| kryptik_ | this winedbg thing might just work.... is the a way to set BP | 07:02 |
| kryptik_ | or would i need to dissasmeble first or something | 07:02 |
| RandomOutburst | ok.... | 07:02 |
| RandomOutburst | im a freakin idiot | 07:02 |
| RandomOutburst | hda | 07:02 |
| peterbilt | RandomOutburst - it should be /dev/hdd or /dev/sda more likely | 07:02 |
| scguy318 | kryptik_: its supposed to be modeled after gdb or something, I'm clueless at that so | 07:02 |
| tntCry | guys any app that can by pass university ports which stops people from doing things forexample slow loading on youtube vids , pidgin cant connect ,. but msn messenger* ( windows ) can.. | 07:03 |

| scguy318 | tntCry: SSH out to your home machine, use Tor | 07:03 |
| kryptik_ | ok... ty for the advice though | 07:03 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: though TOr is slow | 07:03 |
| peterbilt | RandomOutburst - it should be /dev/hdb for example | 07:03 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: or find a SOCKS or HTTP proxy | 07:03 |
| tntCry | scguy318, what is ssh :? | 07:03 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: Secure Shell | 07:03 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: one of its features is TCP forwarding | 07:03 |
| tntCry | how do we do that scguy318 | 07:03 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: you'll need another machine to run sshd | 07:03 |
| Fezzler | crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 224 2007-11-25 00:48 /dev/ttyd0 ???? | 07:03 |

| scguy318 | Fezzler: change ttyd0 to ttyUSB0 or w/e | 07:07 |
| scguy318 | Fezzler: in the command I mentioned | 07:07 |
| tntCry | you think ssh home can work> | 07:07 |
| crazy6 | mohkohn: everything is turned up... | 07:07 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: sure | 07:07 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: the home machine needs to run sshd | 07:07 |
| tntCry | how do i connec to it? because i cant even connect with IRC in theyr | 07:08 |
| sohi | if i install some software in add/remove application .... is my memory low speed? | 07:08 |
| mohkohn | ok crazy6 I am just trying the obvious. It happened to me once. | 07:08 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: use an SSH client, have the sshd listen on port 80 or 443 | 07:08 |
| Radi01 | How do I get root privileges for firestarter. | 07:08 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: connect to the sshd through those ports | 07:08 |
| Fezzler | I'm running a ./teeny-linux program that copies a BASIC file from the com port to the RS232 on my other computer | 07:08 |

| tntCry | download speed is down to 15 kb | 07:09 |
| Fezzler | But I'm using a USB-to-Serial cable ttyUSB0 | 07:09 |
| tntCry | its weird in this university | 07:09 |
| tntCry | they have technology up the A$$ | 07:09 |
| scguy318 | Fezzler: sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0 | 07:09 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: then after you connect in through SSH | 07:09 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: add a dynamic port forward, thats your local SOCKS proxy | 07:09 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: then point programs to that forward | 07:09 |
| scguy318 | !ssh | tntCry | 07:09 |
| ubotu | tntCry: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 07:09 |
| scguy318 | and I'm tired | 07:09 |
| scguy318 | so I don't feel like talking more :( | 07:10 |
| Fezzler | I think the problem is the ./teeny-linux is trying to open a com port (ttyd0) while the cable is on ttyUSB0?? | 07:10 |
| mohkohn | If it gets beyond the obvious I am not much help to you. There is a sound troubleshooting doc in the wiki | 07:10 |
| Radi01 | !firestarter | 07:10 |
| 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). | 07:10 |
| tntCry | but i hope you could explain it to me quicker scguy318 | 07:10 |
| scguy318 | Fezzler: symlink it | 07:10 |
| tntCry | i add dynamic port on my ssh client to my ssh dedicated server? | 07:10 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: yep | 07:10 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: then point programs to that dynamic port | 07:10 |
| scguy318 | and ubotu's tidbit is a slight lie, PuTTY works on Linux too | 07:11 |
| tntCry | sio i must go to my pidgin se t tings and change it ? | 07:11 |
| Fezzler | symlink? | 07:11 |
| tntCry | to my Ssh setting? | 07:11 |

| toresn | hmm, i would like to have my xorg.conf cleaned up a bit... i've run the "Screens and graphics" tool a few times... can anyone help with this? | 07:11 |
| tntCry | you mean all the app's > settings of my ssh and my ssh > to my dedicated SSH ? | 07:11 |
| Fezzler | can I get ttyd0 re-mapped to ttyUSB0 temporarily? | 07:11 |
| tntCry | i hope it works | 07:12 |
| scguy318 | Fezzler: yeah, through a symlink, you would do like | 07:12 |
| Fezzler | so the ./teeny program think ttyUSB is ttyd0? | 07:12 |
| scguy318 | Fezzler: ln -s /dev/ttyd0 /dev/ttyUSB0 | 07:12 |
| scguy318 | Fezzler: like that | 07:12 |

| dinop007 | still dont work btw i use 64 bit linux | 07:28 |
| |thunder | bmt2; lamp is just linux, apache, mysql, and php. | 07:28 |
| Fezzler | scguy: That did it! | 07:28 |
| graelin | thunder: Thats Listen | 07:28 |
| bmt4 | i was asking a question all of a sudden i was looking at a blank terminal | 07:28 |
| CaptainMorgan | get these spammers and filth out of this channel | 07:28 |
| Fezzler | Awesome | 07:28 |
| |thunder | graelin; thanks. wasnt sure | 07:28 |
| ActySofts | hello | 07:28 |
| bmt4 | |thunder: but how do you set it up..how do you comfirm that you have it set up ? | 07:28 |
| dinop007 | i cant drug it to the trash it is on the applications up in the tools bar | 07:29 |
| ActySofts | can anybody help me turn off the system beep in xubuntu? (on #xubuntu nobody answers) | 07:29 |
| bmt4 | also does anyone know the difference in regards to LAMP "deployment" vs "development" | 07:29 |
| CaptainMorgan | thank you ompaul | 07:29 |
| Fezzler | scguy: Do I need to reset anything regarding ttyd0 or ttyUSB0? | 07:29 |
| ComPro | can anyone explain what would make the fglrx driver not function at all after a simple reboot? | 07:29 |
| |thunder | ActySofts; i only know in gnome, its in prefs/sound | 07:29 |
| mohkohn | #xubuntu | 07:29 |
| mohkohn | oops | 07:30 |
| RandomOutburst | ComPro: satan | 07:30 |
| graelin | dinop007: Try reinstalling using synaptic then uninstalling it using the remove completely option | 07:30 |
| CapaH | I have a NETGEAR PCI Wireless card, and it wont work. Ubuntu says it recognizes/sees the hardware -- restricted driver "In use" and "Enabled" --- but I cannot connect to my network! Can anyone here, please, help? I have been trying to figure this out for three days. | 07:30 |
| RandomOutburst | no not really, sorry, i have no idea | 07:30 |
| ComPro | haha very funny | 07:30 |
| ComPro | lol | 07:30 |
| raz0r | it's all a barrel of monkies | 07:30 |
| crazy6 | I can't seem to read data from my data drive (ext3); do I need to add a umask of some kind to fstab or is there a more kosher way of doing it? | 07:30 |
| raz0r | i just like to pick the ones that don't talk until they have to say something useful | 07:30 |
| ompaul | ComPro, you got a new kernel? | 07:30 |
| CapaH | I type: iwconfig ath0 essid linksys3 -- then I type iwconfig and it shows ESSID: linksys3 but it says: "Not-Associated" also, I do not know how to fix this | 07:30 |
| scguy318 | CapaH: use ndiswrapper | 07:31 |
| ComPro | no. im running the latest ubuntu - gutsy | 07:31 |
| whereswaldo | hey everyone! Im having a bit of a sound problem, its really quiet and static-y. I read about an Intel soundcard related problem, but I dont think mine is one | 07:31 |
| scguy318 | CapaH: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto | 07:31 |
| Fezzler | scguy: Do I need to reset anything regarding ttyd0 or ttyUSB0? | 07:31 |
| scguy318 | Fezzler: reset? dont think so | 07:31 |
| bmt4 | CapaH: i have integrated wireless on my laptop, and i had no problem...did you check on : system > administration > network ? | 07:31 |
| ompaul | ComPro, well the other option is that it did not work before - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg do that in a terminal and see what you get back | 07:31 |
| Fezzler | meaning undo some of our synklinks? | 07:31 |
| |thunder | crazy6; see if you can read from it if mounting it manually. umount /dev/hda1 then mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /media/dataorwhatever | 07:31 |
| mohkohn | is there anywhere to get a precompiled 2.6.23 kernel? | 07:31 |
| Radi01 | I have firestarter installed..but it keeps asking for root privileges to start it. | 07:32 |
| mohkohn | prepackaged I mean. | 07:32 |
| Fezzler | okay, do I need to do anything to get out of root in Terminal or just close it? | 07:32 |
| ompaul | !rootsudo | Radi01 | 07:32 |
| ubotu | Radi01: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 07:32 |
| cdm10 | Does anyone here use Ekiga? | 07:32 |
| Radi01 | k | 07:32 |
| graelin | cdm10: I have it installed and enabled, but never actually used it | 07:32 |
| ComPro | ompaul: i've run the reconfigure before. i reset it all back to defaults. when i first installed, it defaulted to vesa. it told me to install the restricted drivers. i did so. that worked fine. now today i reboot and i can work with vesa, but not fglrx anymore. | 07:33 |
| cdm10 | graelin: and, it worked? | 07:33 |
| cdm10 | graelin: like, you could log into your ekiga account and make a test call? | 07:33 |
| crazy6 | |thunder: oh, actually, it's some freak file that has minimal permissions set on it... whoops! | 07:33 |
| scguy318 | Fezzler: just exit | 07:34 |
| neil_d | hi, I am trying to create a 'static' executable when using gcc normally my program compiles and links, when I add the '-static' keyword to the gcc link cycle, I get lots of error messages like "undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'" how do I fix this ? | 07:34 |
| Fezzler | great. thanks so much | 07:34 |
| ompaul | ComPro, and you tried the "restricted driver manager" again today - if it works you did install updates and they got in the way of whatever | 07:34 |
| ompaul | neil_d, ask in #gcc | 07:35 |
| scguy318 | Fezzler: and you have nothing else to do, thats the only symlink we made anyway | 07:35 |
| |thunder | crazy6; :) chmod 755 ./file | 07:35 |
| Fezzler | Now I have my old Tandy Model 102 exchanging files with Ubuntu over a USB-to-Serial connection. Awesome | 07:35 |
| neil_d | ompaul, ok | 07:35 |
| ComPro | ompaul: yes, i have. and it doesn't work. | 07:35 |
| Gatestone | I use repo.freecreations.info but I don't find the signing key? | 07:35 |
| ompaul | ComPro, so I guess you updated something that does not like it | 07:35 |
| rhs | Fezzler: what's the use of this ? | 07:35 |
| CapaH | scguy318: Hey thanks for your help. Before I use ndiswrapper do I somehow have to disable Ubuntu's built in drivers for this? If so, how do I do so | 07:35 |
| ComPro | ompaul: i touched nothing. | 07:36 |
| ompaul | Gatestone, ask the people who maintain that repo for instructions we don't support non ubuntu repos | 07:36 |
| Naisenu | What is the smallest size Ubuntu can take up on a drive? | 07:36 |
| Gatestone | ...and that's why update manager complains. It is not really tell what repo is the problem, so the warning is kind of scary... | 07:36 |
| scguy318 | CapaH: you will do that in the course of following the guide | 07:37 |
| Fezzler | rhs: Tandy Model 102 only has 32k ram, so Ubuntu acts as huge storage device via the RS232 port | 07:37 |
| scguy318 | Naisenu: minimum is like 2 GB, not really that usable | 07:37 |
| scguy318 | Naisenu: 2.5 GB | 07:37 |
| scguy318 | Naisenu: thats for the OS and packages | 07:37 |
| Naisenu | What is the smallest port of Ubuntu in any of it's related flavours? | 07:37 |
| scguy318 | Gatestone: the warning can be ignored | 07:37 |
| rhs | Fezzler: so much fun it seems ;) | 07:37 |
| Gatestone | ompaul: The update manager should anyway be fixed. It should tell, which repo is the problem, and allow me to install only those upgrades trhat are signerd | 07:37 |
| scguy318 | Gatestone: it's a good idea to ask the repo maintainer for a key | 07:38 |
| CapaH | scguy318: Ok great, I will do that now thanks for your help -- hope it works | 07:38 |
| ompaul | Gatestone, no it has to be flexable and your world view is broken cos sometimes packages are made without gpg keys | 07:38 |
| Gatestone | I was just wandering if I could fix it right noe | 07:38 |
| Fezzler | rhs: yes, I enjoy retro computing as well as learning linux via Ubuntu. I like making older technology useful today | 07:38 |
| bmt4 | i just tried to upgrade to 7.10 and got this message : Failed to fetch http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found | 07:39 |
| bmt4 | can anyone help ? | 07:39 |
| scguy318 | bmt4: remove that repo from your sources.list | 07:39 |
| scguy318 | or | 07:39 |
| Gatestone | ompaul: basic desing criteria is always: be flexible in your input requirements, be conservative in your output specs.. | 07:39 |

| Naisenu | One other question, are there any guides for "how to share a drive?" | 07:40 |
| wers | other than that scguy318 :D | 07:40 |
| scguy318 | wers: it might actually conform to the look and feel of your desktop | 07:40 |

| scguy318 | wers: OO doesn't | 07:40 |
| wers | yeah. that's the reason why it's what I'm using right now. hehehe | 07:41 |
| rhs | Naisenu: sharing with windows or linux ? | 07:41 |
| ompaul | Gatestone, I don't agree with you that the program is at fault - if the repo builder had put in keys no worries would be had they did not - you need information and if you still feel that is a bug go to launchpad.net and report it as such | 07:41 |
| wers | I just want to know what to expect with Abiword | 07:41 |
| bmt4 | the sources.list is located ? | 07:41 |
| Naisenu | rhs: Linux. | 07:41 |
| r4d10h4x | reason 4. anyone? | 07:41 |
| neil_d | bmt4, /etc/apt | 07:42 |

| ubotu | Naisenu: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 07:42 |
| Naisenu | rhs: If it wasn't apparent from the original question. Networked | 07:42 |
| wers | I mean, I want to know the features that Abiword has that oowriter doesn't and vice versa | 07:42 |
| bmt4 | r4d10h4x: are you talking about the studio software ? | 07:42 |
| bmt4 | neil_d: thanks | 07:42 |

| cdm10 | r4d10h4x: which IP?- | 07:44 |
| r4d10h4x | cdm10: the one u connect with | 07:45 |

| cdm10 | r4d10h4x: Is that supposed to be funny? My IP has nothing to do with whether I can connect or not... | 07:46 |
| r4d10h4x | try reinstall | 07:46 |
| cdm10 | r4d10h4x: i've gotten this error across 4 different Ubuntu releases, reinstalling won't help. | 07:46 |
| r4d10h4x | cdm10: i cant help you | 07:47 |
| scguy318 | cdm10: might be something with the SIP | 07:47 |

| scguy318 | cdm10: probably something up with your SIP, I can't elaborate further unfortunately | 07:48 |

| ompaul | Radi01, you have not installed it correctly you are trying to compile it -- this is a package based distro you don't have to install from source. Do this: sudo apt-get install firestarter | 08:01 |

| ompaul | Radi01, no idea you might have corrupted your install in some way - best thing there is to back up your data and install freshly if you you want to test | 08:02 |
| ompaul | !quicktime | scrapbunny | 08:03 |
| ubotu | scrapbunny: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 08:03 |

| scrapbunny | i am trying to run a program in wine that requires quicktime7 | 08:04 |
| * malnilion thinks one can install quicktime codecs with wine | 08:04 | |
| ompaul | Radi01, then something has broken and ehh you need to work out what it is - sounds like you are unsure of what you have so I would strongly suggest, back up your data and reinstall - if it breaks again randomly then consider a new disk | 08:05 |
| Radi01 | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 08:05 |
| ompaul | Radi01, you did break your system do sudo dpkg --configure -a and see how you are then | 08:05 |
| Radi01 | k | 08:06 |
| malnilion | scrapbunny, you might try installing quicktime alternative w/ wine | 08:06 |

| whereswaldo | hey my sound is really quiet and static-y, I read about a problem with Intel sound chipsets but lspci | grep audio -i gives me ¨nvidia¨ | 08:09 |
| ompaul | !sound | whereswaldo | 08:09 |
| ubotu | whereswaldo: 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 | 08:09 |
| Whyvas | any howto's for gutsy on a g4? | 08:10 |
| ubunturos | s / bugs / lag | 08:10 |
| whereswaldo | hey thanks, I´ve got ALSA mixer selected but I´ll check out this other stuff, thanks again | 08:11 |
| malnilion | Heh, great, I was looking for a g4 guide for him too, lol | 08:12 |
| Whyvas | nigga please! | 08:13 |
| malnilion | Whyvas, first of all, you know which CD iso to get, right? | 08:14 |
| Whyvas | yes | 08:14 |
| Whyvas | do you? | 08:14 |
| malnilion | The powerpc-alternate install disc | 08:14 |
| Whyvas | WOW! | 08:14 |
| magic_ninja | when i set my cpu to run at 1.47 ghz it doesn't restart itself from overheating like it used to when it overheated, however it does hang when the kernel begins to load | 08:15 |
| malnilion | Whyvas, from there I don't know offhand what to do because I haven't gone through installing linux on a G4 or any other mac | 08:15 |
| malnilion | But I'm looking for a guide | 08:15 |
| rhs | Whyvas: found this http://pinguin.uni-psych.gwdg.de/~ihrke/wiki/index.php/Installing_Ubuntu_on_iBook | 08:15 |
| chanwk | hello | 08:16 |
| ompaul | !bootoptions | magic_ninja | 08:16 |
| ubotu | magic_ninja: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 08:16 |
| Pyrobyte | heya, i have heard there is a program that allows you to make use of the extra buttons on some mice, but i can't remember the name of it, does anyone know the name? | 08:17 |
| magic_ninja | ompaul: do you think its a config issue | 08:17 |
| ompaul | magic_ninja, not booting is generally overcome by "noapic nolapic" | 08:17 |
| ompaul | magic_ninja, as per that page | 08:17 |
| magic_ninja | ompaul: it freezes at the part, right after grub loads the kernel when it says "starting up" the blinking underscore sets there and blinks | 08:18 |
| malnilion | rhs, for Whyvas sake do you happen to know if gparted can resize an HFS or HFS+ partition? | 08:18 |
| rhs | malnilion: nope | 08:19 |
| ompaul | magic_ninja, as I said https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 08:19 |
| z0rz | If I play any streamed (over the local network) in full scren (VLC, Toem, or MPlayer) ... it skips every 3 seconds (fora bout 1 minetu) ... how can I fix this? | 08:19 |
| magic_ninja | ompaul: when i set the proc to run at 1.1 in bios it runs fine, but when i set it to run at 1.47 it doesn't, just making sure this is a probable fix | 08:19 |
| Whyvas | my toes smell like puss | 08:20 |
| ompaul | magic_ninja, are you overclocking by any change | 08:20 |
| whta | ok i just reinstalled and i want to make sure i do everything properly here. first off, i enabled the restricted ATI driver and restarted. now compiz isn't working. what do i need to do to get it back on? | 08:20 |
| magic_ninja | ompaul: no sir my processor is supposed to run at 1.47 ghz, but in bios i get the options to run at 1.1 or 1.47 | 08:20 |
| Ubuntu_Rocks | ompaul: (Radi01): My disk was bad/Every time I installed kubuntu it always gave me errors on the 1rst update..sorry to take you through all that,and thanks for your help. | 08:21 |
| campa | hola | 08:21 |
| z0rz | Anyone? | 08:21 |
| malnilion | Whyvas, according to this feature chart: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php it appears you can resize your MacOS partition with Gnome Partition Editor. Therefore when you run your installation CD you should be able to resize your partition and add a Linux partition to install Ubuntu on. | 08:21 |
| campa | alguien habla espa;ol_ | 08:22 |
| rhs | Whyvas has been kicked | 08:22 |
| malnilion | Ah | 08:22 |
| ompaul | magic_ninja, well then I guess you don't want to run at 1.47 check your fans and stuff - but tbh that sounds more like hardware | 08:22 |
| malnilion | 'cause his toes stunk I reckon | 08:22 |
| ompaul | !es | campa | 08:22 |
| ubotu | campa: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allà obtendrá mas ayuda. | 08:22 |
| malnilion | Or maybe his attitude :) | 08:22 |
| magic_ninja | ompaul: not sure if its hardware it used to run fine but i let my comp set for a while then it wouldn't run at 1.47 | 08:23 |
| campa | ok, muchas gracias, que tengan buenas noches | 08:23 |
| bullgard4 | I have two laptop computers with Ubuntu 7.10. One has a directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.4/ . Why doesn't have the other it as well? | 08:23 |
| ompaul | magic_ninja, then it looks like you got hardware issues, would you concur? | 08:23 |
| magic_ninja | ompaul: its a possibility, but if my cpu or mobo gets too hot my comp automatically reboots | 08:23 |
| tongueroo | is there a way to make the change the load path, even for sudo, when i do a sudo which mongrel_rails it doesnt show up because the path is /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/mongrel_rails? | 08:24 |
| z0rz | If I play any streamed video (over the local network) in full screen (VLC, Toem, or MPlayer) ... it skips every 3 seconds (for about 1 minute) ... how can I fix this? | 08:24 |
| tongueroo | ive tried export PATH=/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:$PATH in .profile and .bashrc | 08:24 |
| magic_ninja | ompaul: as long as noacpi will not affect that saftey feature i'll give it a shot | 08:24 |
| tongueroo | but sudo which mongrel_rails still shows up blank | 08:24 |
| J_5 | I installed imagemagick, where does it install to? what is the path? | 08:25 |
| CapaH | Can anyone please help me? For over three days I am trying to get wireless to work on my desktop. I have purchased FOUR different wireless adapters, three of them USB and one PCI --- and NOTHING WORKS. The closest I can come is I can iwlist scan, and I can iwconfig ... essid linksys3 --- but I CANNOT CONNECT. Can anyone help me with this? please? | 08:25 |
| emja | I read through the faq re audio problems (which ompaul pointed whereswaldo to) and found that my audio devices (dev/snd/* /dev/audio /dev/mixer) are owned by root.audio and perms 660. should I fix this in rc.local or is there a more 'correct' way of fixing this? | 08:25 |
| rhs | bullgard1: seems you have the kernel source on one and not the other, you can install it | 08:25 |
| ompaul | magic_ninja, it turns off stuff at bios level I would not do it - and if your hardware is rebooting regularly due to too much heat you should get new fans | 08:25 |
| ompaul | emja, now I suggest you are ready for the alsa people in #alsa if you have that info to hand they can advise you better | 08:26 |
| emja | ompaul: many thanks | 08:26 |
| rhs | bullgard4: just install the kernel source on the other | 08:26 |
| ompaul | CapaH, the drivers being managed by either ndiswrapper or madwifi I suggest you look at the page the bot will send you and do some madwifi stuff | 08:27 |
| ompaul | !madwifi > CapaH | 08:27 |
| * ompaul heads off to mapping party | 08:27 | |
| bullgard4 | rhs: There is no DEB program package 'kernel-source'. What DEB program package do you mean precisely? | 08:28 |
| tongueroo | funny, $ sudo echo $PATH | 08:28 |
| CapaH | ompaul: I have tried both and both are not working | 08:28 |
| tongueroo | returns: /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:/usr/java/jdk/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games | 08:28 |
| tongueroo | but $ sudo which mongrel_rails, still doesnt show up mongrel_rails ... | 08:28 |
| CapaH | ompaul: I have been struggling with this for days -- I have read everything I can read | 08:28 |
| ompaul | CapaH, I have to go - I will say, take a break and then do madwifi setup - it works when ndiswrapper fails | 08:29 |
| MooCows | Hello, I was thinking about setting up a dual boot , I have 2 partitions on this HD right now, one is a small 10 GB partition | 08:29 |
| rhs | bullgard4: it's called linux-source | 08:29 |
| MooCows | Would that be good enough to install Ubuntu for testing | 08:29 |
| magic_ninja | ompaul: the good news: it bypassed the spot where it normally hangs, bad news: my comp restarts so ty i need a new heatsink | 08:30 |
| MooCows | Also, how would I set it up to dual boot? | 08:31 |
| J_5 | I installed imagemagick, where does it install to? what is the path? | 08:31 |
| MooCows | So that it doesn't damange the windows side | 08:31 |
| rhs | MooCows: 10 GB is enough just for testing | 08:31 |
| rhs | MooCows: ubuntu detects your other OS and adds a menu at startup | 08:32 |
| MooCows | rhs, by itself ? | 08:32 |
| rhs | MooCows: yes | 08:32 |
| MooCows | So I don't have to do any fancy stuff with lilo (Or whatever) ? I had to do a bunch of junk back in Mandrake for lilo to work out when I was dual booting Win98SE | 08:33 |
| happy_broccoli | how can i lock down a box so that only port 22 and port 80 are visible? | 08:33 |
| happy_broccoli | from the linux box itself | 08:33 |
| rhs | MooCows: ubuntu installs grub (which replaces lilo) automatically | 08:34 |
| CapaH | How can I utterly uninstall the madwifi drivers? They seem to be conflicting with ndiswrapper even when I blacklist ath_pci and ath_hal | 08:34 |
| MooCows | OK , so pretty much all I should have to do is move the data off the other parition, go and install Ubuntu on the smaller partition , and make sure it's going to use it, and I should be fine for booting XP AND Ubuntu ? | 08:35 |
| z0rz | If I play any streamed video (over the local network) in full screen (VLC, Toem, or MPlayer) ... it skips every 3 seconds (for about 1 minute) ... how can I fix this? | 08:35 |
| rhs | MooCows: read the documentation first for installing, and at installation choose to partition manually | 08:36 |
| jimmy_ | Hi everyone, does anyone know how to forward ports in Ubuntu 7.10? | 08:36 |
| rhs | MooCows: I'm going to find some doc for you | 08:36 |
| UnNaturalHigh | jimmy_, iptables | 08:36 |
| gandhii | why is that when I check the ckeckbox to make a user part of a group that the setting doesn't actually set? ie.. when I say ok and open it back up.. the checked user is no longer checked,, | 08:37 |
| r4d10h4x | my window decorations just disappeared randomly. emerald themer not working either. and reboot says it is on time mode.... WTF!? | 08:38 |
| jimmy_ | UnNaturalhigh, thanks! I have iptables installed, how do I use it? | 08:38 |
| gandhii | does the System/Adminstration/Users and Groups settings application not work? Or am I not using it correctly? | 08:38 |
| UnNaturalHigh | gandhii, you could manually add them to the group <ALT+F2>, in the run dialog type: sudo gedit /etc/group | 08:38 |
| krimx | Is there a way to adjust how often the time is synchronized? I synchronized this morning and it was an hour off, two hours later now I synchronize again and it was 4 minutes off. Setting it to do it automatically isn't often enough so I have to do it manually | 08:39 |
| krimx | Using 7.10 with Gnome | 08:39 |
| Chousuke | :/ | 08:39 |
| jimmy_ | when I type "iptables" in the terminal, nothing comes up :( | 08:39 |
| UnNaturalHigh | gandhii, then proceed to locate the group name and add the username in a pattern consistent with the rest of the file | 08:39 |
| gandhii | unnatural.. yea.. thanks. But it would be ideal to use the simple gui app.. | 08:39 |
| UnNaturalHigh | jimmy_, you need to do some reading, iptables is not that simple but not that hard to learn | 08:40 |
| ephemient | krimx: I believe that ntpdate runs every time you connect to the network | 08:40 |
| UnNaturalHigh | jimmy_, google iptables tutorial | 08:40 |
| jimmy_ | ok | 08:40 |
| Chousuke | krimx: What makes your clock lag so much? | 08:40 |
| UnNaturalHigh | jimmy_, google iptables ubuntu help | 08:40 |
| rhs | MooCows: there's the problem of the MBR | 08:40 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| krimx | ephemient: Ah that's the problem then since I'm connected pretty much all the time. | 08:40 |
| UnNaturalHigh | gandhii, I suppose, but I a merely stating a solution to the problem you mentioned that takes close to the same effort that would take to click your way to the solution | 08:41 |
| krimx | Chousuke: Not sure, it might be that I'm uploading at 10mb/s pretty much 24/7? | 08:41 |
| UnNaturalHigh | *a/am | 08:41 |
| Chousuke | krimx: hmm | 08:41 |
| Chousuke | krimx: Never heard of network traffic causing lags like that, but I suppose it's possible. | 08:41 |
| Chousuke | krimx: try with another NIC? :) | 08:42 |
| blackfoxok | can i ask question? | 08:42 |
| krimx | Chousuke: Either that or it's the HD movies I'm watching. | 08:42 |
| Chousuke | I'd bet on the NIC in that case. | 08:42 |
| UnNaturalHigh | blackfoxok, no, remain silent and wallow in self pity | 08:42 |
| ephemient | !ask | 08:43 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 08:43 |
| blackfoxok | ok | 08:43 |
| Chousuke | krimx: is it integrated? | 08:43 |
| eclipse7500 | shouldnt it be after you have alsa support enabled and the proper module loaded and the mixer settings set right, your audio should work? | 08:43 |
| CapaH | I just went through and utterly uninstalled everything remotely related to madwifi, I deleted the restricted drivers containing it, I removed madwifi-tools, etc --- When I ndiswrapper -l it no longer shows (Alternate driver...) --- and STILL when I modprobe ndiswrapper it sets ath0 ----- any, ideas, why ? What can I do to fix that? | 08:43 |
| krimx | Chousuke: Yup, got a Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2H | 08:43 |
| ephemient | krimx: odd, though. 2.6.22, it should be using hrtimers, I don't think any of those things would make it go off sync | 08:43 |
| LtEmerpoc | sup face | 08:44 |
| === LtEmerpoc is now known as ineedhelps | ||
| ephemient | CapaH: see /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 08:45 |
| CapaH | doing now... | 08:45 |
| r4d10h4x | my window decorations just disappeared randomly. emerald themer not working either. and reboot says it is on time mode.... WTF!? | 08:45 |
| Chousuke | krimx: Hm. Well, I suggest you try with another NIC and see if that solves your problem. | 08:45 |
| ephemient | CapaH: (or /etc/iftab on LTS) | 08:45 |
| ineedhelps | i need help with my video card and my drivers can anyone help | 08:45 |
| krimx | ephemient: Yeah. It was off by almost 5 hours when I first noticed that problem | 08:45 |
| ephemient | ineedhelps: asking for help without first giving details does not work. do it the other way around. | 08:45 |
| CapaH | Yes I found a line there ephemient and I deleted it, hopefully it will work now (rebooting) | 08:46 |
| Chousuke | krimx: It's pretty much a shot in the dark, but I can't think of anything else that could cause your clock to lag that badly. | 08:46 |
| CapaH | ephemient: What is "LTS" ? | 08:46 |
| Chousuke | krimx: it's probably either a buggy driver or buggy hardware. | 08:46 |
| ephemient | CapaH: Long Term Support, i.e. 6.06 Dapper | 08:46 |
| CapaH | ah its Gutsy | 08:46 |
| krimx | Chousuke: Well I'd hate to have to go buy more hardware for a brand new computer, especially if it's only to have the right time in the upper corner. Isn't there some setting I can change to update the clock every 6 hours? | 08:46 |
| CapaH | I have four totally different wireless adapters and I will be very happy if even one will work | 08:47 |
| ephemient | krimx: you could install openntpd | 08:47 |
| ineedhelps | ok sry i have 9600 xt radeon ati with a computer runing ubuntu and i need help with the video card resultion | 08:47 |
| Chousuke | krimx: well you could find a friend willing to borrow you a NIC. :) | 08:47 |
| ephemient | krimx: or set up a cron job to run ntpdate regularly but that seems icky | 08:47 |
| Chousuke | hmm | 08:47 |
| Centaur5 | I just finished configuring a chillispot server but when my client is redirected after it accepts the certificates it pops up with a window to download hotspotlogin.cgi even though the browser should open it. How do I fix that? | 08:47 |
| krimx | ephemient: I'll check openntpd out | 08:48 |
| alimoe | hi all | 08:48 |
| blackfoxok | hi | 08:48 |
| rhs | MooCows: do you need more help ? | 08:48 |
| Chousuke | krimx: isn't openntpd an ntp server? | 08:48 |
| MooCows | rhs, what problem of the MBR | 08:48 |
| alimoe | how do i connect wireless modem in ubuntu? | 08:48 |
| Chousuke | krimx: what you need is to run your ntp client regularly. cron is just fine for that :) | 08:48 |
| MooCows | The MBR in windows ? | 08:49 |
| rhs | MooCows: once grub is installed, you will always have a menu at startup, unless you reinstall windows | 08:49 |
| ephemient | ntpd is good at keeping the system time synchronized | 08:49 |
| blackfoxok | ubuntu can use beryl ? | 08:50 |
| MooCows | rhs, that's what I want. Or are you talking about if I was to format the parition which Ubuntu would be installing to, I STILL would have the grub menu ? | 08:50 |
| blackfoxok | i dont know how to use ^^ | 08:50 |
| CapaH | Ok I found a rule in udev rules that was stopping the wlan0 from coming up, it now comes up, now my var/log/messages says: wlan0: link not ready. I can iwlist scan. I can see all the networks and valid details. I can iwconfig essid and it sets the right essid. I cannot connect. Any ideas? Please? | 08:50 |
| krimx | I guess I'll check out both openntpd and cron then and see which one seems best :) Thanks for the help. | 08:50 |
| ephemient | blackfoxok: Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy has Compiz Fusion, which supercedes both Compiz and Beryl | 08:51 |
| rhs | MooCows: you would still have the menu, there's a workaround but it's complicated | 08:51 |
| rhs | MooCows: http://www.matthewjmiller.net/howtos/dual-boot-linux-and-windows/ | 08:51 |
| ephemient | CapaH: after iwconfig essid, does it associate? do you need a wireless key? | 08:51 |
| MooCows | rhs, OK, so What are you talking about "The problem" ? | 08:51 |
| blackfoxok | ok thank you for help | 08:52 |
| foureyes779 | ewww | 08:52 |
| CapaH | ephemient: I do not need a wireless key. However, the iwconfig shows: ESSID "linksys3" but it also says: Not-Associated --- ideas? | 08:52 |

| Dj^SmyL3 | ciao | 08:54 |
| blackfoxok | ubuntu 6.06 can use beryl ? | 08:54 |
| rhs | MooCows: no the menu whouldn't be here and you coulndn't boot your windows | 08:54 |

| Varka | mohkohn, yes it does | 09:20 |
| mohkohn | Varka, what is it called? | 09:21 |
| ephemient | ineedhelps: please be sure to prefix your lines with the name of the person you are talking to, so that their IRC client highlights it | 09:21 |
| eclipse7500 | hammsand: maybe it needs the backslash in there with the symbols? | 09:21 |
| Varka | mohkohn, just: bittorrent | 09:21 |
| eclipse7500 | hammsand: as to signify a space in a name its "read\ this" | 09:22 |
| Varka | mohkohn, and graphically gnome-btdownload | 09:22 |
| ephemient | ineedhelps: if it's not in use... could you paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 09:22 |
| eclipse7500 | hammsand: just try "cd /media/sda04/-\" then tab for auto completion | 09:22 |
| mohkohn | thanks varka. it did not seem to be in my Applications. so I might need to apt | 09:23 |
| Varka | mohkohn, its started automatically if you are klicking a .torrent or downloading one | 09:24 |
| ephemient | !bittorrent | 09:24 |
| Asathoor | any suggestions on GUI tools in order to check hardware? | 09:24 |

| Varka | Asathoor, use CLI tools, lshw or hwinfo | 09:24 |
| eclipse7500 | hammsand: --\=Lots\ Of\ Stuff\=--/ thats its name under linux, it uses backslashes to represent special symbols or something along those lines | 09:25 |
| mohkohn | Varka, thanks again | 09:25 |
| Asathoor | thanx Varka | 09:25 |
| ephemient | hammsand, eclipse7500: shell (and many other programming languages) uses \ to "escape", meaning "usually the following character has a special meaning, but don't apply that special meaning here" | 09:25 |

| Varka | bullgard1, you searched for linux-2.6.22.4, but the current version is linux-2.6.22-14 | 09:30 |
| bullgard4 | ephemient: apt-file does not search only the installed packages. Rather, it searches much more. | 09:30 |
| ephemient | bullgard4: yes, I realized that after looking it up | 09:30 |
| ephemient | bullgard4: I don't know why apt-file doesn't find it. | 09:30 |

| eclipse7500 | i dont know if ubuntu has a easier interface for it though.. | 09:39 |
| ephemient | floodge: if you remove packages that the upgrade was going to install anyways, it is futile | 09:40 |
| joosep | eclipse7500, the two partitions are set up in a different way i think | 09:40 |
| bullgard4 | "Launchpad is off for maintenance." How long did such an outage last on the average in the past? | 09:40 |

| amidaniel | muir71: Well, are you trying to change the splash screen or the log-in window? | 10:04 |
| ephemient | crdlb, wasabi_: well, that's surprising. to do that, you'd have to redirect the plugin to an offscreen drawable, and do compositing yourself... | 10:04 |
| Tm_T | l3: english only | 10:04 |
| muir71 | the background of the splash screen...i already have the image put in it, now i just need the background color changed | 10:04 |
| ephemient | crdlb, wasabi_: and handle input forwarding, which is another pain to implement. but props to them, for working on it :) | 10:04 |

| scott__ | Hi all, I am trying to send email via SMTP and I am getting an error "must issue a STARTTLS command first".... does anybody know how to fix this? (I am programming in Ruby) | 10:12 |
| wasabi_ | alimoe, what exactly is the error you're getting? | 10:12 |
| ephemient | caf2007: the LiveCD is much slower than a real install, because CDs are much slower at reading and seeking than hard disks | 10:13 |
| mohkohn | the one really anoying problem with my laptop is the battery | 10:13 |
| alimoe | wasabi_: package not found | 10:13 |
| wasabi_ | oh | 10:13 |
| ephemient | caf2007: this only gets worse on underpowered systems, because the LiveCD has to temporarily load a lot more things into RAM | 10:13 |
| mohkohn | I can see it is charging or unplugged but not how much charge is left. | 10:13 |
| ephemient | caf2007: if you find that the LiveCD is too slow, use the Alternate CD to install | 10:13 |
| asc | It shouldn't be that slow though unless it's on really old hardware | 10:13 |
| w7 | \s mesra.dal.net | 10:13 |
| xcs | hello ppl !! | 10:13 |
| mohkohn | Any tips how to fix? | 10:13 |
| asc | I once had one that was very slow, and it turned out the CD was bad | 10:13 |
| scott__ | The Live CD will naturally be slower than the installed version | 10:14 |
| caf2007 | it is a Pentium 3 where I use windows 2000 without any problems | 10:14 |
| mohkohn | lsmod shows battery | 10:14 |
| asc | It should not take "the whole day", however | 10:14 |
| ephemient | caf2007, asc: true, especially if you can hear the CD continually seeking to re-read the same sectors, you may not have a "good" burn | 10:14 |
| alimoe | wasabi_: "package has no installation candidate" | 10:14 |
| caf2007 | I have also on this machine fedora but I don't like it | 10:14 |

| wasabi_ | ephemient, i thought so too. but it doesn't work when you install with apt | 10:16 |

| alimoe | wasabi_, gud=good | 10:18 |
| wasabi_ | alimoe, it works for me. | 10:18 |
| alimoe | wasabi_, k | 10:18 |
| wasabi_ | give it a try. if not then i would search or make a post on the forum | 10:19 |
| alimoe | k | 10:19 |
| wasabi_ | that usually has everything you need | 10:19 |

| scott__ | Anybody know anything about SMTP, i've been searching Google and can't find what I'm looking for | 10:19 |
| kane77 | scott__, what are you looking for? | 10:20 |
| alimoe | scott_, SMTP for what? | 10:20 |
| scott__ | i am writing a script in Ruby that sends an email message to myself whenever a certain action happens (namely a stock-price goes below a certain price) | 10:21 |
| scott__ | and i am getting this error message: "must issue a STARTTLS command first" | 10:21 |
| zasf | scott__: ssmtp is what you're looking for | 10:21 |
| zasf | 2.61-11ubuntu1 extremely simple MTA to get mail off the sys | 10:22 |
| ephemient | scott__: so the mail server you are using requires the use of SSL | 10:22 |
| alimoe | outgoing email server??? | 10:22 |
| zasf | but there must be an easier way with ruby | 10:22 |
| === pcdog|zZz is now known as pcdog | ||
| ephemient | scott__: see if you can find a Ruby library which can handle this, or set up a mail forwarder on your own system | 10:23 |
| scott__ | ephemient: well basically i am creating a script that crawls this stock webpage and finds the stock quote that i am looking for, and it will notify me whenever the price goes below a certain threshold | 10:23 |
| brandon__ | quick question, how do i install themes in xfce? | 10:23 |
| brandon__ | do i make a folder in home called .themes ? | 10:23 |
| ephemient | scott__: I don't really care what it does ;) | 10:23 |
| scott__ | haha ok | 10:24 |
| scott__ | pardon my excessive explanations | 10:24 |
| ephemient | scott__: your problems connecting to the mail server come from the mail server requiring SSL | 10:24 |
| ephemient | scott__: so either get a Ruby library which can handle this, or use another program which can handle this | 10:24 |
| scott__ | ephemient: thank you i will try that | 10:25 |

| === Jaymac1 is now known as Jaymac | ||
| Happosade | ailean: iPod-Linux, after that you can copy songs from iPod to computer | 10:40 |
| musikgoat | Jaymac: why is a server on dhcp? | 10:40 |
| ailean | Happosade, do the newer versions of ipod still work? | 10:40 |
| Jaymac | because i don't have control over the network | 10:41 |
| Happosade | ailean: I don't know. Only 5g iPod tested | 10:41 |
| ephemient | Happosade, ailean: Rockbox is not iPod-Linux | 10:41 |
| krimx | ailean: I don't think they do yet but check out the gtkpod site, I think they were first to break whatever Apple had changed on the new models. | 10:41 |

| keegan | ailean: on their site they have a list of hardware that works | 10:41 |

| ephemient | ailean: Rockbox is a free firmware for several hardware MP3 players, including some iPods and Archos products | 10:42 |
| musikgoat | sorry, assuming... Jaymac I nfs should have hostname functionality, but i haven't tried it myself | 10:42 |
| ephemient | Jaymac: by hsotname works, as long as name resolution is working at the time the mount is processed | 10:42 |
| ailean | so how good is this Rockbox ephemient ? | 10:42 |
| e|64 | hi is it possible to change the labels on menubar ? | 10:42 |
| ephemient | Jaymac: put _netdev in the options field of the fstab line for the mount, and it won't be mounted until after the network is brought up | 10:43 |
| ephemient | ailean: pretty good on most hardware, pretty crappy on the iPod :-/ | 10:43 |
| Jaymac | and then i can just add john-desktop (name of the pc) instead of its ip to fstab? | 10:43 |
| ailean | ephemient, and i'd surely be voiding the warranty by using it, no? | 10:43 |
| ephemient | ailean: not necessarily; it doesn't do anything permanent, and you can erase it before sending it back in for repairs ;) | 10:43 |
| ailean | ahhhhh, buen idea | 10:44 |
| musikgoat | warranties exist to be voided :-) | 10:44 |

| zejosh | I did that, | 11:21 |
| damaltor | tntCry: yes, thought so | 11:21 |
| tntCry | ok ifigazine | 11:21 |
| zejosh | but when I went into terminal to run the ./flash thing | 11:21 |
| damaltor | zejosh: so that should be it | 11:21 |
| damaltor | ah | 11:21 |
| damaltor | ok? | 11:21 |

| zejosh | which would be? o.O | 11:22 |
| damaltor | dunno where you downloaded it to.. | 11:22 |
| zejosh | I done it to my desktop | 11:22 |
| krimx | zejosh: If you have the right repositories then do -> 'aptitude search flash' and after that 'sudo aptitude install *package*' | 11:22 |
| pcnet32 | zejosh: cd ~/Desktop | 11:22 |
| damaltor | zejosh: follow the manual on the homepage exactly! you have to copy a file manually in the end | 11:22 |

| Nicke | bullgard4: No idea.. probably depends on the reason as why the maintenance are being done :). This time it was to roll out a new release | 11:38 |
| Nicke | bullgard4: "03.00 - 11.00 UTC" was the planned time now, fwiw | 11:38 |

| weltschmerz | i have a problem. when one user has sound on, like say music, another logged-in user cannot hear sounds. | 11:40 |
| xen_caapn | i've added several themes to both .themes in home and /usr/share/themes , yet none are showing up in xubuntu's user interface settings. what could be the problem here? | 11:40 |
| Aaron_Mason | krimx - i was using ext3 under coLinux but the kernel supplied doesn't have large file support | 11:41 |
| rahmen | void^: the file 'make'? there are 2 files with make in it's name: Makefile.am and Makefile.in | 11:41 |
| McMenace | ok | 11:41 |
| Kaur | xen_caapn: They are installed when u drag them to the theme window | 11:41 |
| McMenace | problem boild down to encoding is good and filenames are shit | 11:41 |
| Kaur | xen_caapn: nothing must be done manually | 11:42 |
| McMenace | so i have files that look in the bash like this | 11:42 |
| timob | xen_caapn: can u use the install button on the apperence settings page | 11:42 |
| McMenace | �bung II.doc | 11:42 |
| void^ | rahmen: the command make. | 11:42 |
| McMenace | i can not get hold of the files via the bash, no tab, no copy&paste works to do something with the file | 11:42 |
| McMenace | using nautilus i can rename the file fine | 11:42 |
| xen_caapn | Kaur , you cannot drag and drop these themes, i'm on xubuntu by the way | 11:43 |
| xen_caapn | timob , what install button ? | 11:43 |
| Kaur | xen_caapn: Hm... | 11:43 |
| McMenace | any ideas on renamng all files of the disk at once | 11:43 |
| rahmen | void^: "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." | 11:43 |
| bullgard4 | Kaur: May be the following observation will shed another view on your problem: I do not get a beep sound under all Ubuntu distributions when hard-installed. But the Ubuntu 7.10 desktop life installation produces the beep sound as expected. | 11:44 |
| void^ | rahmen: you probably didn't (successfully) run configure before first. | 11:44 |
| void^ | -before | 11:44 |
| McMenace | anyone any ideas on how to rename my files? | 11:44 |
| rahmen | void^: ok.. where do I do the configure? in the ontv map or in home? | 11:44 |
| timob | McMenace: um so u can access the files from the command line? | 11:44 |
| timob | s/can/cant | 11:44 |
| Kaur | bullgard4: What do u mean by 'life installation'? | 11:45 |
| krimx | McMenace: I had the same problem with old files which had å ä ö in the filenames when I installed Ubuntu. Don't remember exactly how I solved it but I googled a bit and found a (command line if I remember correctly) program that fixed it. | 11:45 |
| void^ | rahmen: in the directory you extracted the source to. there should be a script called configure there. | 11:45 |
| rahmen | void^: yep it's there | 11:45 |
| ephemient | McMenace: maybe you should just copy them over first and convert the filenames second; I have to convert filenames to/from GBK/sjis/iso8859-1 all the time, from different sources :( | 11:45 |
| bullgard4 | Kaur: A life installation is to use a life CD for booting and then operating an operating system. | 11:46 |
| bazhang | life = live | 11:46 |
| Blew-even | O.o | 11:46 |
| Kaur | bullgard4: no, unfortunately I'm not using a live cd | 11:46 |
| rahmen | void^: found the error: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" | 11:46 |
| Kaur | bullgard4: though it would definitely explain things:) | 11:46 |
| ephemient | McMenace: convmv probably handles that case, but I've never used it; I just do (for i in *; mv -v "$i" "$(iconv -fiso8859-1 <<<"$i")"; done) or something similar | 11:47 |
| void^ | rahmen: install build-essential, run configure, install any -dev packages for things it wants, repeat until it runs without errors. | 11:47 |
| pcnet32 | McMenace: can you try this: http://phpfi.com/278733 | 11:47 |
| McMenace | ephemient: the problem is that they will not copy | 11:47 |
| McMenace | bash sais it can not create the destination file | 11:48 |
| ephemient | McMenace: are you copying from FAT to Linux, or what? | 11:50 |
| tarelerulz | Broadcom 802.11b/g wlan I have read a lot on it. downloading the driver her and stuff ndiswrapper says I should use the 32 driver for my card ,but when I download the drivers it don't say 32bit and then 64 and the bcmwl6.inf says something about 64 bit . I look for the driver my vista system use and it is bcmwl6.sys and I thought a bcmwl6.inf would do that trick don't it don't work ? I am lost | 11:53 |
| ephemient | McMenace: let me clarify. Linux-native filesystems treat filenames as nothing but a bunch of bytes, so encoding doesn't matter (except to tools that want to display the filename etc.), but other filesystems (FAT, NTFS, ...) don't work that way | 11:53 |
| McMenace | pcnet32: yes work and how to do it recursively | 11:54 |
| chazco | Whats the best intermediate format for Vista/Linux? (e.g. a shared partition) | 11:54 |
| McMenace | putting `ls -R` istaed of * dos not give the full path | 11:54 |
| pcnet32 | McMenace: wait | 11:54 |
| popai | i have in mi PC 512 dual ceanel Geil DDR PC3200, and 1 slot free, if i put 512 PC320 module (to make 1024MB), will worck ? | 11:54 |
| Amaranth | chazco: vfat (fat32) | 11:54 |
| chazco | hmm... using FAT32 atm but having trouble using apache | 11:54 |
| McMenace | ephemient: ok and bash's cp ahs a problem with it so i thought renaming helps | 11:55 |
| Amaranth | popai: that's more of a hardware question | 11:55 |
| tarelerulz | chazco , vista is ntfs . I use ntfs-3g to mount it fine | 11:55 |
| Amaranth | popai: if your machine can use that RAM then Ubuntu will use it | 11:55 |
| McMenace | and problem is the encoding is utf-8 and its a ext3 volume | 11:55 |
| Max0 | Hi i want to install ubuntu on a new pc i have... its a IB9 motherboard and it needs a ITE 8211F IDE driver for the setup. I can get windows to work with this driver but can anyone help me get ubuntu on there? | 11:55 |
| McMenace | the problem came when coping from win drive | 11:55 |
| Amaranth | chazco: Why are you hosting files on the fat32 partition? | 11:55 |
| McMenace | and that is history | 11:55 |
| cox | hello all, i need to flash my bios, how i've got the utility & the rom, how do I add it to a cd and make that cd bootable | 11:55 |
| chazco | Yep... thought about that but i prefer a seperate area for files (either OS can break big style, a seperate partitio nmakes it safer) | 11:55 |
| sint | hey, when using apt i get the following message: "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:" with a long list of packages. can i trust this and remove them? | 11:55 |
| McMenace | so only renaming is an option | 11:55 |
| chazco | Its where i develop my website Amaranth | 11:55 |
| chazco | Not a live server | 11:56 |

| === ZaphodBeeblebrox is now known as galvao | ||
| pcnet32 | McMenace: caution, start the script in the right directory | 11:57 |
| ephemient | McMenace: in this situation, I can't imagine why cp would give you the error that it did, though | 11:57 |
| chazco | I think FAT32s lack of permissions etc causes Apache to fail | 11:58 |
| tarelerulz | Does Ubuntu 7.`10 come with what is need to compile stuff or do you have to donwload if so what do I need to download . I wold ask on Ubuntu or look ,but I don't have net on it | 11:59 |
| Amaranth | tarelerulz: The default install comes with enough to compile kernel modules | 11:59 |

| Amaranth | tarelerulz: can't say I have | 12:00 |
| Amaranth | That's pretty weird | 12:01 |
| Amaranth | But I'm pretty clueless about networking so... | 12:01 |
| Enselic | tarelerulz: how do you know it doesn't work for web pages? | 12:01 |
| pcnet32 | tarelerulz: i think that's not a wireless issue, but a an mtu issue | 12:01 |
| tarelerulz | Wierd and fun all at the same time. I mean if it did not work I would under stand more | 12:01 |
| pcnet32 | tarelerulz: try sudo ifconfig your_wireless_interface mtu 1200 | 12:01 |
| tarelerulz | Well, Under Vista web works abit slow ,but it woulds . ON Ubuntu it times out | 12:01 |
| tarelerulz | What is mtu? | 12:02 |
| pcnet32 | tarelerulz: maximum transmission unit | 12:02 |
| pcnet32 | tarelerulz: i guess some routers on the way to the web server do not properly report icmp fragmentation needed | 12:02 |
| tarelerulz | I think I am going to build the stable ndiswrapper , then find the bcmwl6.inf and see if it works | 12:04 |
| tarelerulz | The lame part is I do the normal thing and the wirelss card don't show up in ifconfig | 12:04 |

| pcnet32 | whileimhere: you can't unless you flash your bios. those strings are read from the bios. | 12:08 |
| whileimhere | Ohhhh | 12:08 |
| whileimhere | I see. That does help out and I dont want to go to all that hassle of flashing the bios for something like that. | 12:08 |

| whabo | tarelerulz: the CD i have is 7.10 :S lol | 12:20 |
| stefg | whabo: that means that the (proprietary) firmware for the wifi isn't found. but that should not cause a boot failure, just the wifi not to work | 12:20 |

| SchwarzeKrause | Hi, all. Somebody, please, say me, what are the current kernel and alsa in Ubuntu | 12:36 |
| loguser1 | what is the past bin addres | 12:36 |
| rsk | SchwarzeKrause: kernel | 12:36 |
| rsk | 2.6.22-14-generic | 12:36 |
| ephemient | guh: man adduser | 12:36 |
| rsk | and alsa 1.0.14 | 12:36 |
| guh | ephemient: i dont use adduser | 12:37 |
| rsk | why do you wanna know SchwarzeKrause ? | 12:37 |
| SchwarzeKrause | rsk: Damn. I guess they won't switch to 2.6.23 and alsa 1.0.15 till the next release. I can only get my hardware working under this versions in Arch or alikes. | 12:38 |
| shark87 | t | 12:38 |
| rsk | why do you guess that | 12:38 |
| pcnet32 | SchwarzeKrause: you could compile your own 2.6.23 kernel on ubuntu | 12:39 |
| ephemient | SchwarzeKrause: you can build and upgrade ALSA yourself without changing the kernel, I think there's instructures for that too... | 12:39 |

| ephemient | SchwarzeKrause: we don't know about 3rd party repos here ;) | 12:40 |
| rsk | SchwarzeKrause: use hardy for that | 12:41 |
| rsk | ask in #ubuntu+1 | 12:41 |
| stefg | PowerJC: yes, that meets the min. requirements. But for a better experience and more free disk space i'd recommend xubuntu for that box | 12:41 |
| PowerJC | whats the difference between xubuntu and ubuntu? | 12:41 |
| stefg | !xubuntu | 12:42 |
| ubotu | xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels | 12:42 |
| SchwarzeKrause | ephemient: ))) OK. Hardy is the next version? I've heard there should be a branch which won't ever be released, which is always unstable. Am I mistaken? | 12:42 |
| ephemient | !info alsa-base hardy | 12:42 |
| ephemient | hmm, doesn't work like that? | 12:42 |
| ubotu | alsa-base: ALSA driver configuration files. In component main, is important. Version 1.0.15-2ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 190 kB, installed size 380 kB | 12:42 |
| rsk | there you go then SchwarzeKrause | 12:42 |
| ephemient | SchwarzeKrause: Hardy does have ALSA 1.0.15 | 12:42 |
| SchwarzeKrause | Oh, that's nice | 12:42 |
| ephemient | SchwarzeKrause: Ubuntu doesn't have a "sid" branch though | 12:42 |

| rsk | cox: and you dont have to worry about a thing | 12:44 |
| ephemient | !appdb | kinroad | 12:44 |
| ubotu | kinroad: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 12:44 |
| rsk | kinroad: what wine version? | 12:44 |
| rsk | kinroad: run wine --version | 12:44 |
| cox | rsk: does that create a bootable image including the files i want on it? | 12:44 |
| kinroad | rsk: 0.9.46 | 12:44 |
| SchwarzeKrause | ephemient: I don't get the policy of Ubuntu. Will things like gnome 2.20.2 ever get into Gutsy? Or would they appear in next major version only? | 12:44 |
| rsk | cox: um no tought you just had problems burning ubuntu.. | 12:44 |
| stefg | loguser1: looks quite normal. my guess is that it is a problem with KDE/KDE's implmentation of hal or dolphin/d3lphin. so i'd head for #kubuntu | 12:45 |

| djfm | hi | 12:52 |
| stefg | loguser1: delphin is a new and immature piece of software. so if you can manually mount those partitions 'sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/<yourpartition> /mnt' then it's a kde problem | 12:52 |

| djfm | is it possible for a user to have no password? | 12:52 |

| ephemient | djfm: yes. they will be unable to log in through many services, however | 12:53 |
| Slart | djfm: have you tried? | 12:53 |
| stefg | djfm: no | 12:53 |
| djfm | I tried, it always says "password is too short" or so | 12:54 |
| ephemient | djfm: passwd -d | 12:54 |
| stefg | djfm: you can have a 'passwordless' login, but that means just it's not asked for. it still exists | 12:54 |
| funto | I've got a problem concerning ATI drivers : I've installed them, and it seems my Radeon X600 Mobility's hardware acceleration works, but my OpenGL version is stuck to 1.3 (while I should have 2.0) and glxinfo | grep direct says I don't have direct rendering... | 12:55 |
| funto | any idea? | 12:55 |
| ephemient | djfm: deletes a password. this disables login... | 12:55 |
| djfm | Ok this is passwordless login that I want, how do I do this? | 12:55 |
| djfm | this is for a beginner user | 12:55 |
| ephemient | djfm: gdm? kdm? other? | 12:55 |
| djfm | that has nothing to hide :) | 12:55 |

| djfm | I didnt see the option | 12:55 |
| ephemient | djfm: System > Adminstration > Login Window > Security > Enable Automatic Login | 12:56 |
| ephemient | djfm: not quite the same as passwordless, but it's close | 12:56 |
| djfm | but autmatic login will log in the user automatically wont it? | 12:57 |
| ephemient | djfm: for real passwordless, you can edit /etc/pam.d/gdm, but if you don't know what you're doing, don't touch that | 12:57 |

| neopsyche | alch3mist: you said.. it means it should be able to connect? | 13:40 |
| alch3mist | neopsyche : connect it first using wammu | 13:40 |

| Pir8 | Guys I have a huge problem, I just rebooted and when I went to the boot screen I only saw the server kernel to boot into...my regular 7.10 kernel wasn't listed in there. What do I do to get that back so I can boot in normally? | 13:41 |
| alch3mist | <neopsyche> : try phone wizard and follow the instruction from there.. after that.. connect your phone using the "connect" in the menu | 13:41 |
| rsk | then click and draw the mouse | 13:41 |
| rsk | and hold ctrl | 13:41 |
| neopsyche | alch3mist: it says guided etC? which one do i take? | 13:41 |

| [swb] | larson9999, yeah | 13:42 |
| alch3mist | use the default "auto" | 13:42 |
| [swb] | in applications->accesories ther is adisk usage analyser | 13:42 |
| Pir8 | hans is it possible that the generic is there, but not visible in the boot menu? | 13:42 |
| [swb] | and its awesome | 13:42 |
| neopsyche | whats the command for devices again? | 13:42 |

| SHRIKEE | quick question, is there a proper-ish driver for ubuntu and ati cards yet? | 13:44 |
| Pir8 | Which file contains the boot menu settings? | 13:44 |
| neopsyche | alch3mist: look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283766 It seems more complicated than you make out to detect the USB | 13:44 |
| alch3mist | <neopsyche> : look just because p900 isn't listed but wammu clarifies it "sony ericson phones" which means most phone all you have to do is try before you complain... it his problem is connecting the modem which is very different that yours | 13:46 |

| thor | neopsyche: the tail command will 'follow' the end of the log file and will show the new lines as they are added.... | 14:15 |

| vidsan | Need ATI x1600-help!! No direct rendering | 14:15 |

| tntCry | who is using ubuntu on a laptop? | 14:15 |
| thor | neopsyche: if no new lines showed up then linux isn't recognizing the phone at all...then it will be a major project to get it to work | 14:16 |

| tntCry | picard_pwns_kirk, ok 1 question 1 answer , hows battery life? | 14:16 |
| thor | neopsyche: first step will be to determine what modules have to be loaded for the phone (look at the insmod command) | 14:16 |
| thor | neopsyche: once you have the modules loaded try plugging it in again and see if you get anywhere. | 14:17 |
| neopsyche | thor: theres this How to guide .. but its in GERMAN .. AARGH! :-) | 14:17 |
| vidsan | tntCry: What's your problem? I have X1600 Pro 512PCIe on a stationary | 14:17 |

| Asterix | linxeh: okay, so it's power management... my card is an nvidia 6800 so it probably doesn't have the syncongreen then | 14:41 |
| linxeh | Asterix: your PC will support it if it is a half decent one, your graphics card will use separate horizontal and vertical syncs on dedicated pins. older sun and sgi workstations created a composite sync and multiplexed it onto the green component of the video | 14:41 |

| HarimaKenji | hi, I'm using truecrypt to keep my partitions safe, however they get mapped to different device nodes while booting from time to time so my mount script has become ineffective. I believe the uuid is the key to solve this but i can't query it from the devices, it says "unknown volume type". Any ideas? | 14:57 |
| Asterix | Sharpie: the screen info thing says 65 for horizontal and 60 for vertical.. I want to get it higher though. | 14:57 |
| Sharpie | Asterix: the entire ubuntu screen managing program is useless, like, it tells me my ref rate is 55hz but it's really 75 | 14:58 |
| Asterix | Sharpie: also, my video card ramdac supports some outrageously high number of 2048x1530 at 85hz so I don't think that card is limiting me. | 14:58 |
| sunny_ | kjdhkadjh | 14:58 |
| Sharpie | Asterix: actually, your screen probably doesn't support that resolution | 14:58 |
| Sharpie | Asterix: unless you have like a 23" screen or something | 14:59 |

| === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ | ||
| void^ | Sharpie: that's a "feature" of nvidia's driver, it reports incorrect refresh rates. set Option "DynamicTwinView" "false" to make it report actual rates. | 15:00 |
| stefano | rhsanborn, it's a driver that is not open source | 15:00 |
| Sharpie | Asterix: or pick the maximum value in the screen settings program | 15:00 |
| Asterix | Sharpie: max showing is only 55 :-/ | 15:00 |
| Sharpie | Asterix: try and see if you can change it in ur screen's menu | 15:00 |
| stefano | rhsanborn, the ubuntu developers can't access these drivers and improve it, so youre depending on the support of the original manufacturer | 15:00 |

| calamity1244 | glossy :S | 15:02 |
| ToddEDM | my Gforce go6100 works great | 15:02 |
| rhsanborn | stefano: Actually, I had to completely reinstall the lappy with Vista. The last time I tried it (several weeks ago) it wouldn't work with any nvidia driver. I had to use the generic vesa driver | 15:03 |

| BlackDiamonds | Is there a check list of things to do when one installs Ubuntu ? Like expanding the repos list, etc etc etc. I want my fresh install to have all of that done | 15:04 |
| BlackDiamonds | or can all of this be done via the GUI now ? | 15:05 |
| stefano | rhsanborn, i'm 90% sure your card is supported. allthough it may be possible that you have to set up something manually, you may want to take a look at the nvidia website and download the driver directly. it's not so hard | 15:05 |
| rhsanborn | stefano: I just found an article on the unbuntu forums. It is a bit manual, which is fine. But a few weeks ago, I'm pretty sure it was impossible | 15:05 |
| rhsanborn | I just wanted to check the restricted driver thing | 15:05 |
| stefano | rhsanborn, well i hope you get it to work. if you want to use the power of your graphics adapter you might want to check out "warsow" and "openarena" :-) | 15:06 |
| rhsanborn | I certainly will...I'm not very impressed by it's power though :P | 15:07 |
| toresn | kaluna: hmm,,, xinerama seems kinda advanced... isn't there an easier way? i guess i should note that running mplayer -vo x11 <filname.avi> works, but not in fullscreen | 15:07 |

| stefano | just look for them in /etc/kdm or something similar | 15:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pakmanca: please watch the language | 15:25 |
| pakmanca | Who would be the pro here who could help me | 15:25 |
| pakmanca | My apologies. | 15:26 |
| gran | how do i change the name of my AP on ubuntu? | 15:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 15:26 |
| stefano | gran, AP = AccessPoint? | 15:26 |
| pakmanca | 3 am until now searching forums for answers to no avail. | 15:27 |
| gran | yes stefano | 15:27 |
| stefano | gran just as you would in any other os. open up a browser and type in the IP-Adress of your accesspoint and then log in | 15:27 |
| BlackDiamonds | AP is managed by the router and not ubuntu | 15:27 |
| BlackDiamonds | do what stefano suggested | 15:27 |
| BlackDiamonds | log on to your router and change the settings | 15:27 |
| stefano | not onto the router, onto the AP | 15:28 |
| gran | get page not displayed, i'll just do it in windows :( | 15:28 |
| HaoleBoy31 | Does anyone know any alternitive drivers that can be used for a wireless Linksys pci card? | 15:28 |
| HaoleBoy31 | I have contacted linksys and they say they dont support it yet | 15:29 |
| pakmanca | VirtualBox had some errors before I uninstalled it, and since the sounds devices are no longer found | 15:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pakmanca: it appears to be a common problem with virtualbox drivers.. nothing to do with Ubuntu | 15:29 |
| stefano | HaoleBoy31, you can use the windows drivers with ndiswrapper | 15:29 |
| RayBritton | Hi, how can I find out if Ubuntu will work with my pc? (could just putting a cd in damage my pc?) | 15:29 |
| stefano | this works good for me | 15:29 |
| HaoleBoy31 | I couldnt find it installed on the HD | 15:29 |
| LiMaO | RayBritton: try the livecd. it won't write a single byte to your hard drive. | 15:29 |
| HaoleBoy31 | though I dont know much about installing anything via Linux | 15:29 |
| stefano | RayBritton, absolutely not, it doesnt touch your hard drive at all nor does it change anything else | 15:29 |
| RayBritton | ok thank you | 15:30 |
| HaoleBoy31 | so I deleted it and got WinXP back which I hate with a passion | 15:30 |
| stefano | HaoleBoy31, installing software in ubuntu is easy as pie. just open up "synaptic", choose your programm and click apply. you'll get it :) | 15:30 |
| pakmanca | Maybe reinstaliing Vbox will do the trick.. This is a bit frustrating. This didnt happen under Fiesty. | 15:30 |
| HaoleBoy31 | Unbuntu works fine with everything else though | 15:30 |
| HaoleBoy31 | I feel so stupid with Linux | 15:31 |
| pakmanca | I also experienced some Video issues, but reinstalling the restrcited drivers fixed that issue. | 15:31 |
| HaoleBoy31 | im sure its simple but I grew up in the computer world with microsfot | 15:31 |
| stefano | HaoleBoy31, use it for one month and you feel like a genioius | 15:31 |
| HaoleBoy31 | I just requested a free CD | 15:32 |
| magnetron | HaoleBoy31: it takes time to learn a new OS | 15:32 |
| stepunk | hello | 15:32 |
| Crazymethjesus | Huge cunt in most orifices | 15:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HaoleBoy31: I dount you were much more comfortable when you first used XP | 15:32 |
| magnetron | stepunk: hai | 15:32 |
| stefano | HaoleBoy31, i had the same experience, and now i dont want to use anything else | 15:32 |
| HaoleBoy31 | think my friend must have gotten a bad copy of it downloading who knows | 15:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Crazymethjesus: Stop or leave | 15:32 |
| HaoleBoy31 | I am a programmer though so I feel very stupid | 15:32 |
| stefano | me too | 15:32 |
| stefano | :) | 15:32 |
| HaoleBoy31 | where are you from stefano? | 15:33 |
| HaoleBoy31 | uk? | 15:33 |
| stefano | from western germany | 15:33 |
| HaoleBoy31 | ah cool | 15:33 |

| stefano | originally i am from italy, but i live in germany. and by the way germany is horror deluxe | 15:34 |
| HaoleBoy31 | its not that I dont want to enjoy it but also the main reason I have stuck with windows so long is more because of gaming | 15:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Amaranth: thanks | 15:34 |
| pakmanca | The largest problem I have found in Linux is when I use it home for fun... I use it at work as my DC and My desktop... but default installs work wonderful. This is the first driver or device issue I have experienced in nearly a year of using Linux. | 15:34 |
| HaoleBoy31 | I bet it is | 15:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HaoleBoy31: I still dual boot for that | 15:34 |
| stefano | HaoleBoy31, i play some games on the side, i have set up a seven gigabyte windows partition for that. | 15:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HaoleBoy31: Plus I still get paid to support windows "Stuff" | 15:34 |
| HaoleBoy31 | Ya I tried the WINE driver wasnt impressed | 15:34 |
| HaoleBoy31 | took double the time to install games | 15:34 |
| HaoleBoy31 | and then got serious errors loading | 15:35 |
| stefano | when it comes to games, wine isnt impressive a t all | 15:35 |
| HaoleBoy31 | ya I learned that fast lol | 15:35 |
| HaoleBoy31 | I play wow on free servers now | 15:35 |

| bulmer | who is running ldap and using it as a single sign-on authentication for a centrally manage network of computers? how do you tell linux now you will be using ldap instead of passwd or shadow? | 15:36 |
| stepunk | and the 3d acceleration is ok | 15:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stepunk: More importantly, have you setup refresh for you monitor | 15:36 |
| stepunk | umm no | 15:36 |
| stepunk | how can i do that? | 15:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stepunk: People always forget the second part | 15:36 |
| HaoleBoy31 | I wish more companies would support linux based OSes so people like me could get out of Microfuck | 15:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stepunk: Check out your xorg.conf | 15:36 |
| stepunk | yes, i' have to add somethin near the resolution? | 15:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stepunk: If you hose up your setup and get stuck at a black screen, use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 15:37 |
| mzanfardino | running gutsy with intel pro wireless on lenovo T40 lappy. Using ipw2100 driver. My wireless signal continually drops, but only sporatically and then it reaquires (I can watch it with wavmon). Any ideas? | 15:37 |
| stefano | HaoleBoy31, microsoft itself supports linux very well | 15:37 |
| HaoleBoy31 | how so? | 15:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stefano: No way | 15:37 |
| stefano | you can even run unix apps on windows vista | 15:37 |
| stefano | i heard... | 15:37 |
| HaoleBoy31 | well my point to get out of windows | 15:38 |
| stepunk | but how I can know the refresh rate of my monitor? | 15:38 |
| stefano | i dont say it's good, it's not, it's horrible, but microsoft supports linux | 15:38 |
| HaoleBoy31 | I am not insatalling Vesta lol | 15:38 |

| RainCT | hi ankit. what do you mean? | 15:39 |
| stepunk | ok, and how i have to insert it, something like "1680x1050@60" ? | 15:39 |
| mzanfardino | the problem appears most prevelent when downloading files. | 15:40 |
| RayBritton | no idea | 15:40 |

| tabber | hi, anybody knows how to set the default wireless network network manager connects to? at startup it connects to the wrong network always | 15:42 |
| stepunk | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45788/ i think that i have to insert here, right? | 15:42 |
| bulmer | tabber-> look in your /etc/network/interfaces to set it | 15:43 |
| pakmanca | Thank you for attempting to help me | 15:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stepunk: looking now | 15:43 |
| tabber | bulmer: that was the file i was looking for, thanks! | 15:43 |
| bulmer | you're welcome | 15:43 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: distance: <50ft (from living room to back bedroom where router is). I have installed the longer antenne to improve range. I have another lenovo running on windows in the same room with no loss of connectivity, but I'm not sure that is significant (different hardward). This is running on 802.11b and the router is mixed mode. | 15:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stepunk: thats fine, but there is another section above that for your monitor settings, look for dpms "I think" | 15:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stepunk: around line 95 | 15:44 |
| Sven_ | hi Ihave a problem with my wireless here. whilst the device works in this configuration with most wireless-LANs it doesn't with WPA encrypted connections using TKIP and PSK | 15:45 |
| stepunk | i've pasted all my xorg :) | 15:45 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: I'd like to test whether or not it's the internal nic by getting my pcmcia linksys wpc54g v2 up and running, but I can't seem to get it to respond. The light is on when plugged in and I've installed ndiswrapper and the windows driver, but I can't find it on any list and don't know how to activate it. | 15:45 |
| bulmer | mzanfardino-> there is really no guarantee of sustained rate in wireless..anyhow what is mixed mode? | 15:45 |
| HaoleBoy31 | was nice to meet you jack_sparrow | 15:45 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: the router will operate on 802.11a/b/g | 15:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stepunk: Your entire xorg is 9 lines? | 15:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HaoleBoy31: nice to meet you as wel | 15:45 |
| HaoleBoy31 | if I ever get back with my other hd on Ubuntu maybe we can figure out how to get the win drivers to work but ill wait on the Ubuntu cds to show up | 15:46 |
| bmt2 | hello to all | 15:46 |
| HaoleBoy31 | have a great week | 15:46 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ok | 15:46 |
| smacky_ | you guy's happen to know where i can get a deb file for tovid ? | 15:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | need a new link | 15:46 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: the issue isn't sustained rate, it's sustained connectivity. I can watch the connection cycle between connected and dropped over the course of any given time frame. It's worse when I'm transfering files, but it happens all the time | 15:46 |
| bulmer | mzanfardino-> oh okay, typically you set it to one and then let it drop back to a stable mode, i dont know of any AP that goes back up to full throttle | 15:46 |
| Sven_ | Is there a way to find out how to configure wpa_supplicant to be able to use WPA with PSK and TKIP? | 15:47 |
| Sven_ | and all that with a belkin device? | 15:47 |
| bmt2 | i think i upgraded to 7.10 successfully..but my resolution is different, and i can't get to 'screen resolution' to change it for some reason | 15:47 |

| bulmer | mzanfardino-> which brand of AP do you have? | 15:47 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: if I'm not mistaken in this context it means that it will accept 802.11a, b and g connections from different devices... For instane, my wifes lappy maintains her g connection (54mb) whilst I'm at 11mb. | 15:47 |

| mzanfardino | bulmer: well, the g refers to the speead... g is 54, b is 11, but I see what you are saying.

| ToeKnee | it was originally on /dev/hda7 (mounted as /home) and was 99% full when it had an error.

| onliner | kex: ok i can open that url | 16:00 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: I'm not sure how to answer that. I can say that I am currently online with the wireless nic which identifies itself as using the ipw2100. If the firmware didn't load I'd guess (and it's just a guess) that that nic would not work. I'm also guessing that the repeated messages are probably in sync with the loss of connectivity that I'm experiecing, though I can't prove it as I don't have a timestamp on the dmesg | 16:01 |

| NewUserr | bulmer ok thanks but doesnt it exist a similar program on linux | 16:06 |
| kex | onliner: sweden | 16:06 |

| Jack_Sparrow | SatManUK: try terminal and fdisk -l to list partitions | 16:06 |
| bulmer | NewUserr-> umm maybe there is like tivo, but its all customized? | 16:07 |
| NewUserr | Happosade : u think it works on wine? | 16:07 |

| bullgard4 | What is the function of the kjournal? | 16:08 |
| Happosade | Jack_Sparrow: Ok. So I have to go to google | 16:09 |

| NewUserr | Happosade : but Wine isnt safe right? | 16:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SatManUK: super grub repair cd | 16:10 |
| onliner | kex: ok thanks, i am sorry i can't help you | 16:10 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: sorry, system crash. did you respond to my last message about the firmware? | 16:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NewUserr: wine is safe, | 16:10 |
| kex | onliner: ok bye ^ | 16:10 |
| bulmer | mzanfardino-> but somehow it recovered and loaded it via ndiswrapper? i dont know.. | 16:10 |
| Happosade | NewUserr: ??? It's just like Windows, just on Linux :) | 16:11 |
| NewUserr | Jack_Sparrow: What about viruses on Wine? | 16:11 |
| SatManUK | ok i have the grub editor in terminal - now what? | 16:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NewUserr: they can not effect the linux part of your os. | 16:11 |
| bulmer | mzanfardino-> thats the experience am getting, anything network i/o get stucked, my system halts so i have to reboot | 16:11 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: sorry, just got that last message,but I suspect you wrote something before it. However, to provide backgroud, I only recently loaded ndiswrapper to support the pcmcia linksys nic. I've since unloaded it. | 16:11 |
| NewUserr | Jack_Sparrow: Ok thanks | 16:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NewUserr: At worst you would apt-get wine and reload it | 16:12 |
| kitche | Jack_Sparrow: well they can but they have to be a very badly written virus or written specifically for wine :) | 16:12 |
| bmt2 | how do i do a search using apt-get ? | 16:12 |
| bmt2 | trying to install flash player.... | 16:12 |
| bulmer | mzanfardino-> i believe the intel error starts here nsc_ircc_open(), can't get iobase of 0x2f8 <-- i thought this could have caused the original error | 16:12 |
| Happosade | NewUserr: Just open only files, what is your installations | 16:12 |
| bmt2 | i want to basically install everything and anything i need thru apt-get | 16:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kitche: I would imagine there might be a way, but have never seen one | 16:12 |
| sergio_ | alguien me puede ayudar acerca de unos plugins de firefox? | 16:12 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: ok, so like right now that I've rebooted I have no issue with my connectino and my dmesg does not reflect any firmware issues with ipw2100 | 16:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !es | 16:12 |
| ubotu | Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allà obtendrá mas ayuda. | 16:12 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: ok, that's a start | 16:12 |
| NewUserr | Happosade : trying out now | 16:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !flash | 16:13 |
| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 16:13 |
| bulmer | mzanfardino-> yeah, sometimes the system recovers..a reboot is all it takes :) | 16:13 |
| kitche | Jack_Sparrow: well you haven't played around to much with wine then :) | 16:13 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: now, i bet if I start an scp file transfer between my server and this machine I will see the connection cycle as before and I bet I will see the firmware issues in the dmesg output | 16:13 |
| stuart- | hm, how do i browse .hidden files? | 16:13 |
| NewUserr | kitche:why? | 16:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kitche: I have no use for it, but I am in here most of the time and have not seen others with virii that did anything to linux | 16:13 |
| sui_ | ls -a | 16:14 |
| bulmer | mzanfardino-> before you download, just for kicks check if ipw2100 related modules are loaded or not.. via lsmod|grep ipw2100 | 16:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stuart-: there is a pulldown menu option to show hidden | 16:14 |
| stuart- | Jack_Sparrow, cool, thanks. | 16:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 16:14 |
| bmt2 | could i do : sudo apt-get install flash 9 ? | 16:14 |
| kitche | Jack_Sparrow: or they don't notice it | 16:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmt2: did you read the link above | 16:15 |
| bulmer | mzanfardino-> then also do a tail -f /var/log/messages before downloading and you can spot the event while it records it | 16:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kitche: let me know when you can document that issue | 16:15 |
| bmt2 | Jack_Sparrow: i saw the link , tried to click on it and got nothing | 16:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmt2: try again it works | 16:15 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | Good morning comrade leenoocks users ;) | 16:16 |
| NewUserr | kitche:there was a guy who tried out different virus on Wine but they didnt harm Linux | 16:16 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | Are there any gamers in? | 16:16 |
| RPG_ | Every time I boot up Ubuntu, it defaults to "Low Graphics Mode", despite the fact I've installed the NVIDIA driver multiple times, and ran nvidia-xconfig also. | 16:17 |
| MolePrince | Does Ubuntu have support for vesa framebuffers? | 16:17 |
| RPG_ | It started happening after I installed a custom kernel | 16:17 |
| sergio_ | me podriais decir como meterme en el canal ubuntu españa | 16:17 |
| RPG_ | but since then, i've moved back to the vanilla kernel | 16:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RPG_: have you setup your monitor refresh info and not just the video card | 16:18 |
| erUSUL | RPG_: restricted-modules want work with a custom kernel | 16:18 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: as I suspected, as soon as I started the file transfer, in this case with scp, my connectivity started to cycle from connected to disconnected and back and sure enough I got messages in dmesg output reflecting the firmware error. I will attach the last 30+ list of message so you can see. | 16:18 |
| erUSUL | won't* | 16:18 |
| kitche | NewUserr: you mean http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=72598&page=4? | 16:18 |
| RPG_ | erUSUL, so, I cannot expect to have NVIDIA support if I compile my own kernel? | 16:18 |
| erUSUL | RPG_: you need to custom compile the driver against the custom kernel | 16:18 |
| kex | can anybody please help me with my alsa sound card? :( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45790/ | 16:18 |
| D4rkB34n | hi there, any one can help me w/ubunut 7.10 | 16:18 |
| erUSUL | RPG_: right | 16:18 |
| kitche | NewUserr: and it sorta did since it copied all over the place the guy didn't have Z drive mapped so it didn't bust out of wine home | 16:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | erUSUL: good morning... Time for me to go, play nice everyone | 16:18 |
| erUSUL | RPG_: if you use your own kernel you have to compile your own drivers as well | 16:19 |
| erUSUL | Jack_Sparrow: good morning ;) | 16:19 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: http://rafb.net/p/ZjKjNZ63.html this is timed with when I started the file transfer (tail of /var/log/message) | 16:19 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | Are there any gamers in? | 16:19 |
| bulmer | mzanfardino-> how about the beginning part, thats more interesting when the firmware gets reloaded rather than the tail end | 16:19 |
| erUSUL | Monkee_Of_Evil: just a fast ET:quake wars demo from time to time... | 16:20 |
| RPG_ | erUSUL, since then, i've uninstalled the kernel and quit using it because it didn't fix the hardware problem I had, and now i'm back to Ubuntu kernels, and the problem persists | 16:20 |
| mzanfardino | bulmer: take a look at what I've pasted and you tell me if you need more. I tried going back before any firmware messages appeared | 16:20 |

| D4rkB34n | i can't open ppt files (microsoft power point) on Impress 2.3.0 it hangs. Any one can help me? | 16:28 |
| MolePrince | actionsugar: Find the InputDevice section regarding your mouse. Make sure your protocol is "ImPS/2" and that ZAxisMapping is "4 5" | 16:28 |
| linxeh | jimmacdonald: and did you start all of the nfs services? I take it that the mount failed? | 16:28 |
| MolePrince | 10 seconds on google found that. | 16:28 |
| erUSUL | Ashfire908: maybe it is better to use a grub flppy disk? (if the machine still has floppy ;)) | 16:29 |
| jimmacdonald | linxeh: not sure if the processes are started. The mount did fail. | 16:29 |
| jimmacdonald | linxeh: where would I start them? | 16:29 |
| Ashfire908 | erUSUL, nope no floppy (#%^#% WHY DO THEY NO LONGER PUT FLOPPY DRIVES IN???) | 16:29 |
| Ashfire908 | lol | 16:29 |
| bulmer | mzanfardino-> if you look at around 34.792000 eth0 and eth1 not ready but yet you are able to use eth1 as your wifi nic? | 16:30 |
| linxeh | jimmacdonald: whats in /etc/exports ? | 16:30 |

| linxeh | Ashfire908: because obody uses floppy. use a usb stick or a cd | 16:30 |
| erUSUL | Ashfire908: or boot with the livecd (it has an option called boot from hard drive) | 16:30 |
| Ashfire908 | linxeh, what do you think i'm going | 16:30 |

| sproingie | use: that usually means it failed to download the packages list | 16:31 |

| cool | i am trying to get a Splash Image with update-grub, but i am missing something, i get a error "Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping .........." | 16:31 |
| Ashfire908 | erUSUL, which is pointless because it does the same thing as not haveing the cd in the drive in the first place | 16:31 |
| kitche | use: seems like Packages.gz does not exist but if your trying to upgrade to gutsy then why not use a gutsy repo instead of a feisty one? | 16:31 |
| jimmacdonald | linxeh: please see the pvt window | 16:31 |

| Duxter | i dont see it can i do sth with apt-get or synaptic? | 17:34 |
| chrisg | hm | 17:34 |
| chrisg | does anyone else think it's a bit odd to specifically allow root login in the ubuntu openssh-server dist config | 17:34 |
| whereswaldo | hey, none of my windows have borders so I cant move them or anything, what´s going on? | 17:35 |
| chrisg | afaik it's normally something that's disabled, for good reason | 17:35 |
| bazhang | Duxter: open up synaptic and search for greek, and check the ones you want installed | 17:35 |
| robertj | chrisg: its fine | 17:35 |
| levander | whereswaldo: did you remove the borders somehow? | 17:35 |
| robertj | chrisg: if someone enables root then they probably would like to use it | 17:35 |
| Duxter | ok | 17:35 |
| bazhang | Duxter: they will likely be related to openoffice, though you could also turn your own system into a greek system afaik | 17:35 |
| Duxter | thank u | 17:35 |
| mediahunter | flare it has been a while since i have installed from a tar file | 17:35 |
| bazhang | no problem | 17:35 |
| mediahunter | what are the cmd again | 17:35 |
| chrisg | surley logging in as a normal user and using sudo is much better ... | 17:36 |
| `RiffRaff | does anyone know if the issues around nVidia drivers and Gutsy have been resolved? | 17:36 |
| chrisg | it's generally accepted as bad practice to PermitRootLogin | 17:36 |
| noober | mattis: I dont know I was booting from a cd.... is there a vga or someother mode? | 17:36 |
| Flare183 | mediahunter:> to extract a tar file? | 17:36 |
| bulmer | mediahunter-> you tar -xvzf tarfile.gz | 17:36 |
| Duxter | how can i do that? | 17:36 |
| Flare183 | exactly | 17:36 |
| stefg | chrisg: by default there is no root account in ubuntu, so any login attempts (over ssh or on the console) will fail anyway | 17:36 |
| mediahunter | ok | 17:36 |
| bulmer | mediahunter-> then you read the README file | 17:36 |
| mediahunter | thanks | 17:36 |
| levander | `RiffRaff: there will always be issues with the nvidia driver and any Linux. Is there a specific issue you have with it? | 17:36 |
| chrisg | you mean there's no password? | 17:36 |
| chrisg | the root user always exists | 17:36 |
| `RiffRaff | freezing | 17:36 |
| chrisg | or the password is locked | 17:37 |
| chrisg | rather | 17:37 |
| levander | `RiffRaff: nvidia doesn't put enough effort into that driver for it to ever be bug-free | 17:37 |
| `RiffRaff | have tried all the "fixes" and nothing works | 17:37 |
| stefg | chrisg: ok, technically there's no password, so login is disabled | 17:37 |
| vasuvi_ | noober: yeah, one of the commands lets you force X to use VESA instead of the default nv/ati drivers | 17:37 |
| chrisg | :), i just think it's a bit odd to allow root user logins via sshd | 17:37 |
| `RiffRaff | so its either get a new card or go back to fiesty | 17:37 |
| chrisg | granted openssh-server isn't installed as standard | 17:37 |
| whereswaldo | levander: I dont think so, at least not to my knowledge | 17:38 |
| chrisg | or it wasn't in the -alternative disti installed from. but it still seems non standard to permitroot :) | 17:38 |
| bazhang | Duxter: when you want to get someone's attention--best to use their nickname in your reply :} | 17:38 |
| stefg | chrisg: THINK.... no root password, no login.... | 17:38 |
| bruenig | !prefix | 17:38 |
| ubotu | If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages | 17:38 |

| noober | vasuvi_: how do I do that? | 17:38 |
| levander | whereswaldo: did you change your theme recently? you're not using TV out are you, it's just a regular monitor right? | 17:38 |
| bulmer | who is running ldap and using it as a single sign-on authentication for a centrally manage network of computers? how do you tell linux now you will be using ldap instead of passwd or shadow? | 17:38 |
| chrisg | but some of us change the password and unlock the root user | 17:38 |
| bazhang | thanks bruenig :} | 17:38 |
| levander | chrisg: why do you unlock the root user? | 17:39 |
| Duxter | bazhang ok ;) how can i do that u suggested? | 17:39 |
| stefg | chrisg: being smart/dumb enough to that means taking responsibility for a root sshd tehn | 17:39 |
| chrisg | i don't know, habit logging into consoles as root, and ssh as unpriv'd users | 17:39 |
| bruenig | levander, the root user is needed for some applications | 17:39 |
| whereswaldo | levander: no I didnt, and no it´s not TV out. I just changed some config stuff because I couldnt change my res, so now that´s fixed | 17:39 |
| chrisg | bruenig: yeah but technically i could ``sudo su -`` as the user i created at install | 17:40 |
| levander | whereswaldo: what config stuff? | 17:40 |
| bazhang | Duxter: open up the synaptic package manager and then in the search field type greek | 17:40 |
| bruenig | chrisg, not for slim | 17:40 |
| bruenig | chrisg, I mean you may not technically need it for your setup, but it still is needed for some things | 17:40 |
| chrisg | slim =? | 17:40 |
| vasuvi_ | noober: I don't remember offhand; when you are on the boot screen, hit F2, F3, F4, etc...; that will give you the list of options | 17:40 |
| bruenig | chrisg, Simple Log In Manager | 17:40 |
| levander | whereswaldo: have you tried restarting X since your window borders went away? | 17:40 |
| `RiffRaff | ok then does anyone have the link to hardware compatibility? | 17:40 |
| bulmer | bruenig-> does single user mode require root password? i forgot | 17:41 |
| levander | bulmer: no | 17:41 |
| vasuvi_ | noober: (I *think* it's something like xmodule=vesa, or there might be an option called "safe graphics mode" or something like that) | 17:41 |
| Duxter | bazhang: thank you very much | 17:41 |
| bulmer | okay | 17:41 |
| bruenig | bulmer, single user mode just puts you in a root console from init | 17:41 |
| noober | vasuvi_: thnax ill try that... | 17:41 |
| bazhang | Duxter: you all set now? | 17:41 |
| whereswaldo | levander: I´ll try that right now, and I reconfigured X | 17:41 |
| chrisg | yeah linux S doesn't ask for a password, i think it's stuff like solaris that does that | 17:41 |
| vasuvi_ | noober: good luck! | 17:41 |
| Duxter | bazhang: ill go try and post back | 17:41 |
| levander | whereswaldo: you may have just messed up your video mode configuring it while it was running, restarting may "reset" the video mode. If that doesn't work, reconfigure X again. | 17:42 |

| Drule | So hey | 18:06 |
| Drule | what do I need to do in order to set up a wired network between my Vista comp and Ubuntu? | 18:06 |
| Drule | Do I need an application for Vista? | 18:06 |
| Drule | Ubuntu is currently searching for a network connection or something | 18:06 |
| stefg | warlock_handler: i'd runn badblocks and install smartmon-tools to check if your drive is ok. This can be the signs of a slowly beginning death | 18:06 |
| flow | any help on my aoss issue would be appreciated | 18:06 |
| popdog123 | !NTFS | 18:07 |
| Cyberai | Drule, how does your Vista system connect to your wireless? | 18:07 |
| ubotu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 18:07 |
| warlock_handler | <stefg>: i should install a smartmon-tools ?? | 18:07 |
| mynyml | Tomcat_: ohh. thats a good idea. then i guess i could just dpkg -P and reinstall | 18:07 |
| Drule | I'm not trying to set up a wireless LAN | 18:07 |
| stefg | warlock_handler: yes, to be able to read the smart messages from your disk | 18:07 |
| kakoonia | hey all | 18:07 |
| Cyberai | Drule, are you trying to get your ubuntu system connected to your AP or doa peer-to-peer between the ubuntu and vista systems? | 18:08 |
| warlock_handler | <stefg>: cool will do that right a way | 18:08 |
| Drule | Cyberai what does AP and doa mean | 18:08 |
| warlock_handler | <stefg>: is there any way to avoid using the bad sectors in the HDD | 18:08 |
| Drule | I am pretty new to Ubuntu and its terminology. | 18:08 |
| kakoonia | how do i set a scanner? | 18:08 |
| Tomcat_ | Drule: Access Point | 18:08 |
| Drule | I see. | 18:09 |
| Cyberai | Drule, AP = wireless access point, doa = "do a" typod | 18:09 |
| Drule | p2p | 18:09 |
| Drule | I'm just trying to connect the two via a network cable. | 18:09 |
| stefg | warlock_handler: badblocks will give you sector numbers, and you can use the relating filesystem tool (tune2fs, reiserfstune or whatever) to mark them as unusable | 18:09 |
| warlock_handler | <stefg>: it says cant find smartmon-tools... why this error? | 18:09 |
| kakoonia | ive got a canon PIXMA MP170 (printer+scanner) how do i configure/install the scanner ? | 18:09 |
| WorkingOnWise | is there a way to link into a pdf. I want to make an OO document with links to specific locations in a pdf. Any ideas? | 18:09 |
| Cyberai | Drule, wireless or cabled? You're not being particularly clear? | 18:10 |
| flow | cabled I read | 18:10 |
| Drule | Well that's what I meant by wired | 18:10 |
| flow | Drule: IP-addresses all set ... have you got a DHCP running? | 18:10 |
| Drule | cabled yes | 18:10 |
| rawb | if I install a program from gutsy-proposed and it then gets moved to gutsy-updates two weeks later, will my system be able to figure out the package moved when a new version comes out and I do an 'aptitude update'? or will I have to tell it it moved? | 18:10 |
| Drule | I am wondering if I will need any additional applications for any of the systems | 18:10 |
| Drule | for starters! | 18:10 |
| Cyberai | Drule, no | 18:10 |
| stefg | !info smartmontools | warlock_handler | 18:11 |
| Drule | Swell. | 18:11 |
| ubotu | warlock_handler: smartmontools: control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T.. In component main, is optional. Version 5.37-5ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 280 kB, installed size 684 kB | 18:11 |
| stefg | warlock_handler: so its without '-' | 18:11 |
| Drule | Okay well it found an unidentified network I think. | 18:11 |

| ToddEDM | hey guys im back... im still looking for something to mess with this goof who is connected to my LAN | 18:11 |
| Cyberai | Drule, set your vista system to a static IP of something like 192.168.1.3, and the ubuntu to 192.168.1.4. Then share a folder on the vista system. With any luck it should pop up after a couple minutes in the network folder of the ubuntu system | 18:12 |
| SmashCat | Hi, I'm on a server running dapper, it's got pureftpd installed which doesn't appear to allow directory aliases (though the docs claim it does for some reason). Is there a good alternative that supports users going outside the home directory? | 18:12 |

| ToddEDM | yes | 18:12 |

| bulmer | ToddEDM-> it looks like you're the one that got frustrated and not those leachers..hehehe | 18:12 |
| ToddEDM | im not frustrated | 18:13 |
| Cyberai | ToddEDM, first think you should do is scan him using NMAP -P0 | 18:13 |
| ToddEDM | what is nmap -po | 18:13 |
| mus_dur | türkçe bilen varmı | 18:13 |
| MolePrince | ToddEDM: Or just enable WEP/WPA :P Or at least a MAC whitelist. | 18:13 |
| ReK_ | my gutsy refuses to boot now, it hangs after execing /etc/rc.local, yet the only thing in that file is the default 'exit 0'... | 18:13 |
| Cyberai | ToddEDM, it will show you every open port on his PC, and with any luck what OS he is using | 18:14 |
| ToddEDM | MolePrince: i will later | 18:14 |

| ReK_ | Can someone help me with my gutsy, it isnt booting anymore, it simply stops the boot process after running /etc/rc.local, yet all that file contains is the default 'exit 0'.... | 18:23 |

| Drule | but apparently it's a huge hassle | 18:29 |
| DigitalNinja_ | Oh | 18:29 |
| Drule | and I'll probably have to download stuff | 18:29 |
| Drule | basically you have to install the usb device manually or something | 18:29 |
| Drule | and recompile the kernel | 18:29 |
| Drule | I don't know. I'm new to Linux, so I didn't understand all of it. | 18:29 |
| neilmorrow | hi all | 18:30 |
| dfcarney | Drule: for new drivers, recompiling the kernel is typical. it's not that bad, once you get used to it. best to have someone guide you through the steps however (first time i did it, about a decade ago, i totally screwed up my system) | 18:30 |

| Drule | so | 18:31 |
| Drule | I think I'll pass on that for now :-) | 18:31 |
| dfcarney | Drule: you *may* be able to get away with just recompiling the driver, if the source files are available and properly referenced against the kernel headers | 18:31 |
| Drule | idk that's probably overkill for me | 18:31 |

| eth01 | when you do apt-get install mediawiki (or whatever it is) it doesn't go directly into /var/www .. i think its in /etc/ or usr/share | 18:36 |
| dfcarney | foug: basically, you'll need to do a bit of reading on samba :) | 18:36 |
| dfcarney | foug: it's not tricky | 18:36 |
| Ax-Ax | Ctrl-Alt-F1 shows a black screen only, but commands work. But I can't read the output. Any fix? | 18:36 |

| flow | to be explicit: I /think/ it's the uncommented "capture.pcm: dsnoop" line inside the pcm.duplex settings | 18:36 |
| foug | dfcarney: reading isn't too hard, getting use to it i suppose | 18:36 |

| haffouff | need help please | 18:37 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | Where do you download ubuntu live? | 18:37 |
| foug | dfcarney: ha ya right on, been using ubuntu since 7.04 came out, not too long but i'm still a noob i'd say | 18:37 |
| dfcarney | foug: if both computers are on the same network, then sure. | 18:37 |
| flow | so, enjoy your ubuntu everyone ... damn, I REALLY need to fall back to a GOOD distro, like pure debian, much nicer community! | 18:37 |
| foug | dfcarney: they will be, awesome | 18:37 |
| robdig | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: www.ubuntu.com | 18:37 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | Theres different download links | 18:37 |
| dfcarney | foug: it's just information. the fact that you're using wired connections or wireless connections doesn't matter from samba's point of view -- all it knows is that there's a network | 18:38 |
| AngelsOfDestiny | Has anyone used Moto4lin before? | 18:38 |
| foug | dfcarney: awesome, i like that | 18:38 |
| foug | dfcarney: does NFS work the same way? | 18:38 |
| robdig | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: the downloads are the live cd | 18:38 |
| robdig | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: and the installation disk | 18:38 |
| Ax-Ax | Ctrl-Alt-F1 shows a black screen only, but commands work. But I can't read the output. Any fix? | 18:38 |
| dfcarney | foug: it had better :) | 18:38 |
| infinitycircuit | Ax-Ax, if commands work what if you type reset | 18:39 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | robdiq: When I downloaded the .iso it wouldnt boot and I didnt see any files Icould load | 18:39 |
| foug | dfcarney: well i know it doesn't connect to windows pc, that's why i'm having to use Samba | 18:39 |
| jacob | who in here has bmp? | 18:39 |
| Ax-Ax | infinitycircuit, nothing | 18:39 |
| dfcarney | foug: oh, i see what you're saying. not sure about NFS, having made only light use of it. i think that you need to flip a switch in windows to enable an NFS server or something | 18:39 |
| dfcarney | !nfs | 18:40 |
| ubotu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 18:40 |
| robdig | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: did you burn it as an iso file? You need an add on to windows to do that...give me a few and i'll let you know what i used | 18:40 |
| jacob | i'm having difficulties making some mp3 visible in the program from a folder | 18:40 |
| infinitycircuit | Ax-Ax, when you boot, do you see the framebuffer splash screen, or do you get a blank screen then as well? | 18:40 |
| jacob | it only imported 2 songs | 18:40 |
| haffouff | my load_cycle_count is at 148372 | 18:40 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | robdiq: no I my cd burner like extracts it for me | 18:40 |
| haffouff | and it's not stopping growing :( | 18:40 |
| haffouff | need help please | 18:40 |

| Noble | I'm trying to do a raid installation using the alternative cd, expert mode... it always fails on 'select and install' on a gstreamer package... says the hash is bad... other than reburning the cd, is there any way I can manually exclude that package or force it to download it during install? | 18:42 |
| blubloblu | dfcarney: do you know how to get mediawiki to appear in /var/www? | 18:42 |
| arash_ | Hi, I would like yo be automatically logged in when i start my computer, is that possible with Ubuntu? I know I could with Kubuntu | 18:43 |

| Noble | arash_: yes, its possible | 18:43 |
| blubloblu | :( anyone? | 18:43 |
| arash_ | Noble: how ? | 18:43 |
| Noble | arash_: can't remember how, i'm at work at the moment | 18:43 |
| arash_ | Noble: ok thanks, but its possible from the GUI right? | 18:44 |
| Noble | arash_: but its an option under administration somewhere | 18:44 |
| dfcarney | blubloblu: have you seen this? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Ubuntu_GNU/Linux | 18:44 |
| Noble | arash_: yep, you can do it with a few clicks from the gui | 18:44 |

| bulmer | slavik-> right now are you using like gnome or kde? | 18:45 |
| slavik | gnome, of course :P | 18:45 |
| slavik | bulmer: just tell me where to go :) | 18:45 |
| slavik | hmm, that came out wrong ... | 18:45 |
| dfcarney | Has anyone noticed a considerable performance hit after upgrading to Gusty? In particular, Firefox now runs about 10x slower for me... Any ideas? | 18:45 |
| slavik | dfcarney: how is firefox slower? | 18:46 |
| bulmer | slavik, i cant i dont have my Xwindows notes here with me to reference..sorry | 18:46 |
| bulmer | i have to google | 18:46 |
| dfcarney | slavik: lag and response time. in particular, pages heavy on javascript take *forever* to respond | 18:46 |
| kitche | dfcarney: probably due to that it's using gcj instead of java | 18:46 |
| infinitycircuit | dfcarney, try turning off ipv6 and use noscript to selectively stop javacript | 18:46 |
| slavik | bulmer: damn it :( ... I remember someone had code somewhere where it would start a session with just wine running WoW ... that is essentially what I want to do ... | 18:47 |
| gerg | hi all | 18:47 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | robdiq: so I go into my bios and tell it too boot from cd? | 18:47 |
| toresn | can anyone help me with mplayer... to make it run i have to do it with -vo x11 (but no fullscreen then).. i'm running an external monitor connected to my laptop whose monitor is disabled... the video card is a ati mobility radeon 9700 | 18:47 |
| toresn | here's my xorg.conf: | 18:47 |
| dfcarney | infinitycircuit: how do i disable ipv6? | 18:47 |
| toresn | http://pastebin.com/d1bd11593 | 18:47 |
| juano__ | dfcarney: ipv6 probably | 18:47 |
| gerg | how do I troubleshoot a wireless connection that was setup improperly? | 18:47 |
| dfcarney | !ipv6 | dfcarney | 18:47 |
| robdig | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: yup | 18:47 |
| kitche | slavik: umm that's not hard let me write the code right out for you | 18:47 |
| juano__ | dfcarney: a fast solution only for firefox is to type in url about:config , search for ipv6 and turn the variable to false | 18:48 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | robdig: if that doesnt work could you think of anything else that could be the problem? | 18:48 |
| Noble | what "more options" can i pass during install? | 18:48 |
| juano__ | dfcarney: but if you never use ipv6 for nothing, just turn it off globally | 18:48 |
| slavik | I've went through google and forums and couldn't find it (even though it is simple) | 18:48 |
| dfcarney | juano__: hehe -- i just did. need to restart, apparently | 18:48 |
| robdig | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: did you check the md5 checksum of the downloaded file to what is on the website? if the download got messed up, you may encounter other problems | 18:49 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | md5 checksum? | 18:49 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | I feel stupid now | 18:49 |
| kitche | slavik: http://pastebin.ca/797060 is one way to do it or you could make a file so you can login though gdm each time | 18:50 |
| MasterShrek | slavik, use a minimal window manager like fluxbox or blackbox and have the window manager run a startup script that will start wow, then when u login from gdm pick that window manager | 18:50 |
| juano__ | dfcarney: yep, if it doesnt work probably you need to run gksudo firefox, (set the variable to false with sudo permissions) close it, and then continue using it normally | 18:50 |
| robdig | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: aw, don't do that, its just an opportunity to learn, we all have to do that every day. keep going, and if you have other questions, just ask | 18:50 |

| ibanez | i can't seem to get my wireless on the net using ubuntu feisty, how can i scan for networks ? | 18:55 |
| Guest16155 | MasterShrek: i am now logged into my ubuntu .. | 18:55 |
| kitche | abbe: yes ose just means open source edition | 18:55 |
| MolePrince | ibanez: iwlist scanning | 18:55 |
| abbe | kitche: so thats 32bit or 64bit ? | 18:55 |
| ibanez | eth1 says no scan results | 18:55 |
| kitche | abbe: both | 18:55 |
| ibanez | but im like 2 feet away from the router | 18:55 |
| MasterShrek | Guest16155, type mount in a terminal and it will show you what is mounted where, whatever is mounted at / is your root partition (put this device at if=/dev/xxxx) | 18:55 |
| MolePrince | ibanez: check iwconfig eth1 and see if it reports it as having wireless extensions. | 18:56 |
| abbe | kitche: you mean if I install openbox-ose on my amd64 installation, I'll get both virtualbox executables (one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit), hmm... ? | 18:56 |
| juano__ | ibanez: in the gnome desktop you have the network nm-applet , if your wireless is in roaming mode it should scan all available networks there | 18:56 |
| ibanez | well it has IEEE 802.11b/g | 18:56 |
| robdig | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: don't know which program you're using, but it either wants the checksum from the download website for ubuntu so it can do the comparison for you or it is wanting the path to a file with that info | 18:56 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | http://www.nullriver.com/index/products/winmd5sum | 18:56 |
| theravingsociety | ibanez: eth1 is not likely the device name of your wireless card. should be atho, wlan0 or something like that | 18:56 |

| slavik | I've been told that bcm43xx works with WEP (the one in gutsy) | 18:58 |
| kitche | abbe: no you will get whatever arch you use | 18:58 |

| juano__ | ibanez: sure | 19:03 |
| ibanez | how do i extract it to /lib/firmware ? | 19:03 |
| slavik | popern: it would better be to reinstall from scratch ... which is easy if you separated your root and home partitions :) | 19:03 |
| popern | slavik: I know, but ubuntu is based on debian right? ^^ | 19:03 |
| juano__ | ibanez: tar.gz ? | 19:03 |
| ibanez | tar.bz2 | 19:04 |
| slavik | popern: yes | 19:04 |

| mrmonday | how can I make ubuntu automatically mount the swap partition when it starts? It doesdn't seem to do it any more | 19:05 |
| MasterShrek | Guest16155, well, just that your hdb looks similar to your hda, the desitination partion on hdb should be at least as big as the source on hda, and you should have a swap partition on hdb | 19:05 |

| MasterShrek | Guest16155, also make sure your filesystems are the ame, i dont know if its totally nesicarry but its soemthing i would make sure of | 19:06 |
| slavik | Guest16155: there is a linux distribution made for that | 19:06 |
| MasterShrek | Guest16155, probably, but this is easy to do, if you know what you are doing | 19:06 |
| mrmonday | astevens, what do I need to add to make it auto mount it? | 19:06 |
| juano__ | ibanez: sudo tar -xvf <routetoyourtarfile> , do that inside /lib/firmware | 19:07 |
| theravingsociety | Puaff: pretty much the same, but open source software | 19:07 |
| Zaqio | Hey, anyone know how to run WOW on linux? | 19:07 |
| ibanez | k | 19:07 |
| Puaff | theravingsociety, could I use my vmware machines in virtualbox? | 19:07 |
| astevens | mrmonday, you need to have it set in your fstab. you can find examples on google for enabling swap | 19:07 |
| ibanez | odd | 19:07 |
| slavik | Guest16155: the destination drive, do you want to keep any information it has or do you want it to be the exact copy of the source drive? | 19:07 |
| theravingsociety | Puaff: afaik no | 19:07 |
| ibanez | tar: /lib/firmware: Not found in archive | 19:07 |
| krim | Zaqio: I've seen some guides, try and search the Ubuntu forums or maybe the official WoW forums. Anyway, shouldn't be too hard to find. | 19:07 |
| robdig | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: copy the md5checksum for the file you downloaded from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes and paste it into the box in your md5checksum tool. That's a nice one, btw... | 19:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guest16155: are the partitions on the destination the same? | 19:08 |
| Scunizi | Does anyone have a functional IMAP access to their Gmail account? I've got POP working but can't get IMAP. | 19:08 |
| Puaff | theravingsociety, I will have a look at it, thx a lot | 19:08 |
| MasterShrek | ibanez, tar -xf bcm4311_firmware.tar | 19:08 |
| theravingsociety | no problem | 19:08 |
| Guest16155 | slavik: in my old computer i have hdd of 500gb , and in the new one i also have 500gb hdd , (just 1 partition) | 19:09 |
| MasterShrek | ibanez, then: sudo mv bcm43xx* /lib/firmware | 19:09 |
| slavik | Guest16155: and you want both to be identical? | 19:09 |
| astevens | mrmonday, sent you an example, change to reflect where your swap is | 19:09 |
| Guest16155 | slavik: yes | 19:09 |
| ibanez | ok | 19:09 |
| ibanez | that worked MasterShrek | 19:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | slavik: what about dd copy | 19:09 |
| ibanez | now it should read my card ? | 19:09 |
| slavik | Guest16155: you can do ghost's version of "disk to disk" by doing 'dd if=/dev/firsthd of=/dev/secondhd bs=4MB' | 19:09 |
| Hilikus | hey guys, i have a smb share that i mount on windows and it works fine, i mount it persistently so next time i reboot windows the drive still shows up there, but it says "network drive disconnected" even though the smb computer is fully functional, so the drive does show there but if i try to run something from it (like mp3s) it wont work, i have to go to windows explorer and double click on the drive and then i gets "mounted". cou | 19:09 |
| MasterShrek | ibanez, yes, try: sudo modprobe bcm43xx | 19:10 |
| slavik | Jack_Sparrow: ddcopy? | 19:10 |
| ibanez | ok | 19:10 |
| lucio123 | Ciao to all of you | 19:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | see what he said | 19:10 |
| Hilikus | has anyone experienced this? | 19:10 |
| Scunizi | Ciao lucio123 | 19:10 |
| MasterShrek | Hilikus, ive noticed the same issues, never really foudn a fix for it...jsut scrap windows would prolly work best :P | 19:10 |
| juano__ | MasterShrek: ibanez there is also the possibility your card is listed in restricted drivers | 19:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | slavik: I did not want to talk over his help to you | 19:10 |
| ibanez | MasterShrek juano__, i am very greatful | 19:10 |
| ibanez | well it sees my card now ! | 19:10 |
| juano__ | ibanez: good | 19:10 |
| Hilikus | MasterShrek hehe, im glad im not the only one | 19:11 |
| ibanez | it saw a cell 01 in iwlist scan | 19:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | slavik: the other way around actually | 19:11 |
| slavik | Jack_Sparrow: feel free to PM me then? | 19:11 |
| kitche | Hilikus: yes that's how it's suppose to work, you have to make windows connect to the drive at boot | 19:11 |
| spaz | hey there :) | 19:11 |
| astevens | Hilikus, you want a persistent mount. windows can set a permanent mount, otherwise you need to add it everytime you boot | 19:11 |
| juano__ | ibanez: now from nm-applet you should see your router | 19:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | slavik: I'm fine.. thanks, mostly lurking while watching football | 19:11 |
| slavik | :( | 19:11 |
| popern | Noble: says hdd not available or something. It won't go into the live cd et.. I have tried 4 different cd's, amd64 and alterate, i368 and alternate | 19:11 |
| AlanBShepard70 | Every few boots of my computer my login screen freezes and forces me to reboot. When the login screen doesn't freeze sometimes after I login while the computer is loading my user settings the monitor flicks off and I have to reboot. This happens on and off. Any ideas on how to remedy this? My hardware is in good order. Everything works flawlessly with windows and with the previous ubuntu release 7.04 | 19:11 |
| slavik | football has too many stopages but that's for ot | 19:11 |
| lucio123 | scunizi ciao, I have a little problem when I install the emulator ZSNES | 19:11 |
| Scunizi | lucio123, sorry, I don't know anything about it. | 19:12 |
| Hilikus | astevens just like i said, i made it persistent already, the drive shows up in my drives under my computer, so it IS persistent, but its not automatically connected | 19:12 |
| ibanez | juano__ yes it does, i am connected | 19:12 |
| Hilikus | kitche how do i do that | 19:12 |
| popern | Noble: or HDx. as X in some letter or number, don't realy remember | 19:12 |
| lucio123 | if somebody can give me a little help??? | 19:12 |
| ibanez | ty juano__ and MasterShrek you guys rock | 19:12 |
| MasterShrek | lucio123, whats the problem? also there is another snes emulator in the repos if i remember correctly | 19:12 |
| juano__ | ibanez: MasterShrek rocks | 19:12 |
| popern | Noble: hda maby | 19:12 |
| ibanez | lol | 19:12 |
| ibanez | finally | 19:12 |
| juano__ | ibanez: hehehe | 19:12 |
| popdog123 | hello! i have a problem: i cannot see the titlebar of any window. I tried changing the appearance but it didn't work. I don't see the edges of any windows either so i can't resize nor move them. (i have ubuntu 7.10) | 19:12 |
| ibanez | a distro that works | 19:12 |
| astevens | AlanBShepard70, do you see any issues in dmesg? | 19:12 |
| mrmonday | astevens, is /dev/sda5 swap swap pri=42 0 0 right, where /dev/sda5 is my swap file? | 19:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lucio123: This isnt really the place for snes help | 19:13 |
| ibanez | i know it's that ubuntu sticker on my monitor ! | 19:13 |
| ibanez | ;p | 19:13 |
| kitche | Hilikus: remap the drive and check connect at boot or whatever it states | 19:13 |
| lucio123 | this is the error that I get "Error: "/tmp/ksocket-root" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0." | 19:13 |
| Scunizi | popdog123, sounds like you turned on "effects" right? | 19:13 |
| popdog123 | yeah | 19:13 |
| MasterShrek | ibanez, thats not a distro-specific thing, the bcm43xx driver in the actual linux kernel is much better supported these days | 19:13 |
| juano__ | ibanez: im wondering that it should of prompted you on boot time for a driver for your broadcom | 19:13 |
| Hilikus | kitche i did that already | 19:13 |
| lucio123 | but I don't understand | 19:13 |
| AlanBShepard70 | astevens: not that I know of. Where can I check? | 19:13 |
| === anu is now known as _Adramelech_ | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | lucio123: You running Kubuntu? | 19:13 |
| ibanez | i never got a prompt juano__ | 19:13 |
| astevens | mrmonday, i believe that looks good to me. | 19:13 |
| ibanez | however on | 19:13 |
| kitche | Hilikus: no you made it persistent which is different | 19:13 |
| popdog123 | should i turn them off? | 19:13 |
| MasterShrek | juano__, is the not the driver, its the firmware, iirc some intel chips require the same sort of process | 19:13 |
| ibanez | gutsy gibbon | 19:13 |
| ibanez | it was under restricted drivers | 19:14 |
| lucio123 | no, I run Ubuntu 7.10 | 19:14 |
| astevens | AlanBShepard70, type dmesg and then enter | 19:14 |
| ibanez | never could get it working | 19:14 |
| ibanez | so i installed slack 12 | 19:14 |
| ibanez | zenwalk | 19:14 |
| ibanez | backtrack2 | 19:14 |
| ibanez | lol | 19:14 |
| ibanez | quite a few others | 19:14 |
| Hilikus | kitche i checked that chekbox in the frontend to mount it, thats the only setting there is | 19:14 |
| ibanez | then i was like, ill try feisty | 19:14 |
| MasterShrek | ibanez, slackware ftw! | 19:14 |
| Scunizi | popdog123, you need to download and install the config prog for compiz. You'll find it in synaptic. Search for Compiz and you'll recognize the name. It's long. Once loaded put a check mark next to 'decorations' | 19:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lucio123: Is that from Ubuntu repos or some other site | 19:14 |
| ibanez | i like slack MasterShrek | 19:14 |
| MasterShrek | ibanez, its even better supported in gutsy | 19:14 |
| ibanez | had great success with slack 11.o | 19:14 |
| Hilikus | kitche i also tried from the command shell using /persistent:yes | 19:14 |
| slavik | Guest16155: you can read more about dd by ussuing 'man dd' command | 19:14 |
| juano__ | MasterShrek: ahh i see, cause a friend has a dell inspiron with broadcom and it prompted for the driver, after that he specified the driver and it just worked | 19:14 |
| MasterShrek | ibanez, im running slamd64 12.0 | 19:14 |
| AlanBShepard70 | astevens: I'm checking now. | 19:15 |
| ibanez | mine is an inspiron | 19:15 |
| ibanez | 600m | 19:15 |
| kitche | Hilikus: as I states persistent != connect | 19:15 |
| lucio123 | I get it from the site Zsnes | 19:15 |
| ibanez | nice MasterShrek you like ? | 19:15 |
| MasterShrek | juano__, yea i think there are some broadcom firmwares in the repos, but they dont always work afaik | 19:15 |
| Scunizi | Anyone using IMAP with gmail? | 19:15 |
| MasterShrek | ibanez, i love =D | 19:15 |
| juano__ | MasterShrek: i see | 19:15 |
| popdog123 | "compizconfig-settings-manager"? | 19:15 |
| ibanez | awesome man | 19:15 |
| ibanez | ooo i like compiz | 19:15 |
| Hilikus | kitche ok, i understand that, but what im saying is, where's that option. i havent seen it in the frontend nor in the command shell | 19:15 |
| astevens | Hilikus, create the mapped share from the windows tools menu | 19:15 |
| juano__ | compiz rules | 19:15 |
| mrmonday | astevens, i'll try that now, thanks | 19:15 |
| Scunizi | popdog123, that's it.. if you don't use my nick you're messages will get lost in the noise. | 19:15 |
| lucio123 | but I have the same error if I install it from Ubuntu | 19:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lucio123: Then that is the place to get help | 19:16 |
| astevens | mrmonday, np :) | 19:16 |
| popern | When I instert the Ubuntu Install CD and choose "Install ubuntu" the loading screen comes, and after a while it says: "hda?? is not availible" ?? = some number. | 19:16 |
| TheJedi2 | When I select "start or install" ubuntu from cd the screen gets and nothing more happens | 19:16 |
| popern | whats wrong? | 19:16 |
| juano__ | even better now that beryl joined compiz | 19:16 |
| kitche | Hilikus: on the frontend fi you don't see it then you must be blind or something I don't have a windows machine infront of me to see but it's in advance I believe | 19:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TheJedi2: does it do the self test? | 19:16 |
| ibanez | now i just gotta set up the package manager woo | 19:16 |
| TheJedi2 | I see some message about "kernel is alive" | 19:17 |
| theravingsociety | popern: ubuntu cannot recognize your harddisk | 19:17 |
| Guest16155 | how can i view my ports on ubuntu ? and open new port ? | 19:17 |
| slavik | Guest16155: I do suggest using the buffersize as big or bigger as the size of cache on the hard drives for faster transfers ... or even more if you have plenty of RAM :) (DMA is awesome) | 19:17 |
| lucio123 | What means for you: "/tmp/ksocket-root" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. | 19:17 |
| MasterShrek | !firewall | Guest16155 | 19:17 |
| astevens | Hilikus, go to a windows channel. they will walk you through it. or hit google and it will have screenshots. cant remember exactly what/wher eto click, but its easy. | 19:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !permissions | 19:17 |
| ubotu | Guest16155: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 19:17 |

| PeterPan_ | 10 | 19:18 |
| Parsi | another one | 19:18 |
| popdog123 | Scunizi, do i have to restart or something? | 19:18 |
| Scunizi | popdog123, you might have to restart gdm.. ctrl+alt+backspace | 19:18 |
| astevens | Hilikus, up on the top menu, with file, etc. you really need to dig around or google it. | 19:18 |
| Parsi | i look for codecs to play mp3 and divx | 19:18 |

| PeterPan_ | Scunizi: MasterShrek ok. but i have wine installed. if i get a windows virus and clicked it. wine will run it and it can cause damage | 19:21 |
| slavik | not really | 19:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: some machines want you to hit F10 like my toshiba laptop to select boot order | 19:22 |
| slavik | the only thing it can really break is the wine install | 19:22 |
| xzased | I need help capturing video on ubuntu | 19:22 |

| MasterShrek | PeterPan_, possibly but very doubtful | 19:22 |
| Scunizi | PeterPan_, only within the wine prog. most will just spinn uselessly and do nothing to the system. | 19:22 |
| ibanez | package manager cannot even find xchat | 19:22 |
| pudland | help with kernel patch pls.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45811/ | 19:22 |
| slavik | because wined apps don't have admin access to system stuff | 19:22 |
| robdig | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: hmm, normally you just have to hit a function key to get into that menu at boot time, on mine it is f12...while the bios info screen is up it should tell you what to press | 19:22 |
| zazeem | Can someone please help me, i just installed ubuntu and before i enabled the nvidia restricted drivers my screen was crystal clear (crt monitor) and after i restarted with nvidia restricted driver its fuzzy kinda like a layer of some sort is in front of my screen its killing my eyes how do i get rid of this? | 19:22 |

| MrPink_ | Scunizi: I guess so :-P | 19:24 |
| zazeem | anyone :( | 19:24 |
| Scunizi | Parsi, get both of those directly from synaptic | 19:24 |
| pfak | I'm building a kernel using the Ubuntu debian/rules script, is there an easy way to change the kernel version override? | 19:24 |
| Andre_Gondim | TheJedi2, if you had a ATI, there´s a bug, put in safe mode | 19:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zazeem: did you setup your monitor type as well as JUST the video drivers | 19:24 |
| PeterPan_ | MasterShrek: Scunizi Jack_Sparrow some windows apps. but if i have write rights to a partition and wine runs a virus. cant it delete all in that partition? | 19:24 |

| mandrill | all in a oner | 19:25 |
| zazeem | jack_sparrow, no i did not set the monitor type | 19:25 |
| MrPink_ | Any other ideas ? | 19:25 |
| zazeem | jack_sparrow, in nvidia settings it has my monitor though | 19:25 |
| PeterPan_ | Jack_Sparrow: but it has rights to folders say. | 19:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zazeem: Most people forget they need to setup both for the best results | 19:25 |

| w__ | hey-hey-hey! Got a problem: my 'one touch mini' is now vfat vs ntfs like it was before b/c of the f... Windows. Hate Windows. Hate it... AAAHHH. Ok. Now the UUID changed on the mini. I go ahead and put this UUID into the Fstab thinking that it'll work out. I've put this: UUID=4749-C774 /mnt/mini. I didn't specify any options [-o umask=000 or anything like it]. Now, however, when it tries to auto mount it, it gives out that "You are not privileged to mount this vo | 19:26 |

| Scunizi | Parsi, why are you downloading from there.. do you have medibuntu loaded? Otherwise "System/Administration/Synaptic" | 19:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | PeterPan_: this is not the place for discussions, but it does not have access outside the wine environ | 19:26 |

| ibanez | hey juano__ , under package manager, how come it never finds xchat or beryl ? | 19:26 |

| TheJedi2 | !minimal | 19:26 |
| ubotu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zazeem: you will need your monitor refresh and add it to the xorg | 19:26 |
| pussfeller | !upgrade | 19:27 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 19:27 |
| TheJedi2 | !Alternate | 19:27 |
| ubotu | The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal | 19:27 |
| slavik | w__, sudo mount -a | 19:27 |

| ibanez | ohh | 19:27 |
| ibanez | i can't get xchat either | 19:27 |
| ibanez | lol | 19:27 |
| Andre_Gondim | mandrill, http://andregondim.eti.br/?p=47 it's in portugues, but do just the steps | 19:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zazeem: you also need to know sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if you get stuck at a black screen | 19:27 |
| zazeem | jack_sparrow, how do i find my monitors refresh rate? | 19:27 |
| juano__ | ibanez: enable repos | 19:28 |
| Scunizi | zazeem, you might have to referance it on the Mfg. site. | 19:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zazeem: you can make any changes in there, then try to startx and if it dosent work try another config if all else fails. set it to vesa for basic gui access | 19:28 |

| ComPro | i was having problems with FGLRX, so i decided to reformat and start from scratch. the only things I have done is enable the restricted driver and run ubuntu updates. after a reboot, I'm getting the same issue as before the reformat where it will not load X correctly with FGLRX enabled. | 19:28 |
| ibanez | you are a life saver really | 19:28 |
| ComPro | any help would be much appreciated. | 19:28 |
| juano__ | ibanez: then click reload at main window, do not click revert in the repos window, click close after checking the boxes and then click reload in the main synaptic window | 19:29 |
| Scunizi | ComPro, does it load at all? | 19:29 |
| slavik | w__, can you mount ntfs partitions? | 19:29 |

| ComPro | Scunizi: Yes I have. | 19:31 |
| PeterPan_ | Scunizi: Jack_Sparrow . if i have write righst to some folders. a viri run by wine has the same rights. so it can destroy those files....... | 19:32 |

| Jack_Sparrow | PeterPan_: Stop running windows programs... | 19:36 |

| Jack_Sparrow | zazeem: YES, BUT YOU WILL NEED TO SET THE REFRESH RATES UNDER THE MONITOR SECTION | 19:41 |
| Scunizi | ComPro, I've got an idea that you might not have tried yet. Try running the reconfiguration script again from ctrl+alt+F2 then ctrl+alt+F7 to go back to the gui and restart. | 19:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | PeterPan_: NP | 19:42 |
| sky`sunset | what is casper? | 19:42 |
| jouke | _nix_: and what are the gnome logs? | 19:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sky`sunset: PLEASE GOOGLE UP THE TUTORIAL | 19:42 |
| _nix_ | sky`sunset: casper.. is a codename | 19:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sorry for the caps | 19:42 |
| sky`sunset | i did | 19:42 |
| _nix_ | jouke: dunno.. I don't run gnome.. sorry | 19:42 |
| ComPro | Scunzi - I've done that. I can load X just fine if I reconfigure it and set it to use VESA. If I run the reconfigure and choose FGLRX, I get the same problem. | 19:43 |

| _nix_ | kane77: that would be nice.. long and hard passwords are no use windows anyway ;-) | 19:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zazeem: You can burn up an old crt in a flash... | 19:49 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NewUserr: You can try reinstallng cups, or reinstall base system again, if one piece is missing, you may be missing other things as well | 19:59 |
| LiMaO | threeseas: don't need such a weblink. install those and you're ready to go. as i told you, search synaptic for php mysql module and install it too. | 19:59 |
| biatche1 | Say I have one modem-router (192.168.0.1) which connects to the net via PPPOE (dynamic ip). I point DMZ to 192.168.0.254 (a router) and I setup NAT on the router. Well, any NAT would have to point to 192.168.0.1 since it won't know the public IP. Does traffic still get NAT'd in this case? | 19:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NET||abuse: depends on the command line he used | 19:59 |
| LiMaO | threeseas: then just configure stuff in /etc/apache2 - such as which port to listen to, where is your web server directory | 19:59 |

| MasterShrek | synaptic | 20:03 |
| LtEmerpoc | earlier yesterday it was at 1280x1024 | 20:03 |
| tjl11 | the reason I ask for their email is because of this toolkit(http://universitytoolkit.org/) which is based on Xubuntu, but no source availble. | 20:04 |
| D4rkB34n | Why Synaptic? | 20:04 |
| LtEmerpoc | and now it just wont go back | 20:04 |
| WorkingOnWise | Jack_Sparrow: it is fat. windows xp and vista can both see and rw the card. | 20:04 |

| buzzsaw | how do i go about searching for what programs are avalable for apt-get | 20:20 |
| bruenig | ray_, if you take stuff off of the end of the partition usually you can do that | 20:20 |
| juano__ | drez: sudo apt-get install unrar | 20:20 |
| bruenig | !info unrar | drez | 20:20 |
| RequinB4 | drez - you want to unrar things or make rar | 20:20 |
| graulich | erm, what's swiftweasel's command? | 20:20 |
| soundray | D4rkB34n: you need to supply a bit more information | 20:20 |
| bruenig | AngelsOfDestiny, whoever packaged that did a poor job | 20:20 |

| btard | Hey. I was told to install Vista then XP then Ubuntu if I wanted to triple boot. And that is what I did. However, now that I attempt to boot up the machine, it gives the grub boot loader with only vista as a choice, and when I choose vista the computer says missing hal.dll cannot continue. and I backed up up the hard drive before I installed Ubuntu. | 20:21 |
| AngelsOfDestiny | bruenig ya, it didnt even work, thats why i uninstalled | 20:21 |
| D4rkB34n | soundray, nothing happens it only show the startup splash screen | 20:21 |
| drez | requinb4: i want to unrar | 20:21 |
| AngelsOfDestiny | bruenig do you know if this would work for gutsy http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository?t=anon | 20:21 |

| musashi | I have set up RAID 1 (using nvidia onboard controller) and have installed the gutsy. However, i can't set the raid array to boot (there is an option but it's grayed out) and the system won't boot. any suggestions? | 20:22 |
| bruenig | AngelsOfDestiny, I don't know, I wouldn't deal with third party debs myself | 20:22 |
| davenull | chymera: status 8 means that one of your drives didnt report itself, fsck will quit in that mode till you fix the drives | 20:22 |
| D4rkB34n | soundray, yes, i can open calc and writer | 20:22 |

| MillerLite | why is my wifi card coming up as eth1? i have a dell latitude d420, and my wifi card wont work, can anyone hellp? | 20:22 |
| bruenig | AngelsOfDestiny, dangerous | 20:22 |
| Tidus | musashi, nvidia's controllers are wha'ts called fake-raid controllers. | 20:23 |
| chymera | yes davenull, that was my question, how can i fix it? | 20:23 |
| Tidus | they are hardware, but they need the windows driver to boot it | 20:23 |
| chymera | i got this after a system lockup | 20:23 |
| dstadulis | I am trying to repartition my drive that I have ubuntu installed on, when I boot up the gparted livecd and try to resize the partition it says that the drive is in use but I haven't mounted it. Who knows why e2fsck spits back that it's occupied | 20:23 |

| ubotu | ZEA: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. | 20:24 |

| atlef | ZEA: deluge | 20:24 |
| musashi | Tidus, or explain why it's not working? | 20:24 |
| soundray | D4rkB34n: try this: quit all OOo programs, open a terminal and run 'ooimpress' from there. See if it logs any errors in the terminal. | 20:24 |
| AngelsOfDestiny | bruenig oh...now you got me scared,lol | 20:24 |
| Tidus | MillerLite, Dell inspiron 5100 | 20:24 |
| bruenig | deluge is very unstable | 20:24 |
| ZEA | ubotu: I know. just doing a sort of survey :) | 20:24 |
| RequinB4 | ZEA: at this point its all about your preferred UI | 20:24 |
| davenull | chymera: check your drive connects and get back to me | 20:24 |
| MillerLite | Tidus, does your wifi card work? | 20:24 |
| Tidus | musashi, is ubuntu's setup seeing the array? | 20:24 |
| Ashfire908 | every time i tell it to do it on /dev/sdb1, it fails with error code "1" | 20:24 |
| Tidus | MillerLite, yes it does | 20:24 |
| AngelsOfDestiny | bruenig should i scan my box? | 20:24 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: pastebin : sudo fdisk -l , and your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:24 |
| RequinB4 | ZEA - ubotu is a program | 20:24 |

| AngelsOfDestiny | bruenig oh | 20:25 |
| musashi | Tidus, during install it sees sda and sdb but no mention of raid - should there be? | 20:25 |
| ZEA | lol :x | 20:25 |
| MillerLite | bruenig, can u help me please? | 20:25 |
| Tidus | musashi, a true raid controller would only be showing sda ... | 20:25 |
| Ashfire908 | juano__, results might be intresting... i'm on a live cd (but on the same comp | 20:25 |
| arash_ | btard, the irony? | 20:25 |
| btard | yeah............. | 20:25 |
| bruenig | AngelsOfDestiny, if you get through a deb and your system isn't hosed, then you have nothing to worry about, but debs come with preinstallation and post installation scripts that can run arbitrary code, so it could easily rm -rf /* if it wanted too | 20:25 |
| dstadulis | I am trying to repartition my drive that I have ubuntu installed on, when I boot up the gparted livecd and try to resize the partition it says that the drive is in use but I haven't mounted it. Who knows why e2fsck spits back that it's occupied | 20:25 |
| chymera | davenull haow do i check that? | 20:25 |
| bruenig | AngelsOfDestiny, if you stick with official stuff though, you don't have to worry about that | 20:25 |
| arash_ | btard , how come it isnt working when u are writing here? | 20:25 |
| MillerLite | why is my wifi card coming up as eth1? i have a dell latitude d420, and my wifi card wont work, can anyone hellp? | 20:25 |
| chymera | *how | 20:25 |
| Tidus | MillerLite, what chipset is your ethernet card? | 20:26 |
| bruenig | MillerLite, get your mind passed it being named eth1, the naming scheme doesn't matter | 20:26 |
| btard | pardon? | 20:26 |
| AngelsOfDestiny | bruenig ya true, but avant is only 3rd party | 20:26 |
| btard | I'm on a second comp | 20:26 |
| RequinB4 | MillerLite - it should work as eth1 | 20:26 |
| Tidus | broadcom 43xx or 44xx ? | 20:26 |
| soundray | btard: you're not saying what you want. People aren't ignoring you, it's just hard to answer that type of question. | 20:26 |
| RequinB4 | thats no the gproblem if it doesn't work | 20:26 |
| davenull | chymera: open the computer, look for loose plugs, happens more than i care to think about | 20:26 |
| btard | arash_: second computer | 20:26 |
| musashi | Tidus, short of buying a true raid controller, is there a simple way to make this work? i just want a mirror for backup | 20:26 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: is your root partition mounted ? | 20:26 |
| Tidus | musashi, software raid | 20:26 |
| arash_ | btard , ok, what client isnt working? | 20:26 |
| MillerLite | how do i find out chipseT? | 20:26 |

| chymera | davenull lol no, it's not the case.... | 20:27 |
| raving | I've got a fresh alternate CD install of gutsy and am unable to get apt to authenticate packages from archive.canonical.com. Does anybody know where I can acquire a key file for that repository? | 20:27 |
| musashi | Tidus, meaning i should scrap the nvidia raid, set up normally and then install software raid? or would i still keep the nvidia setup set up? | 20:27 |
| MillerLite | its a wlan-minipci? | 20:27 |
| AngelsOfDestiny | bruenig oh. | 20:27 |
| Ashfire908 | juano__, is now... | 20:27 |
| davenull | chymera: try running fsck | 20:27 |
| btard | What do I need to change in order to get all 3 of the working correctly. I am willing t try anything as my disk is backed up as an image completely. | 20:28 |
| Tidus | musashi, scrap the nvraid stuff. during setup you can set up software raid fairly quick and painless | 20:28 |

| Tidus | MillerLite, you'll need ndiswrapper and the windows drivers to make that one work | 20:28 |
| arash_ | btard: still I want to know what client you are using, maybe you should cahnge client | 20:28 |
| bruenig | MillerLite, broadcom | 20:28 |
| Tidus | MillerLite, my wlan card is based on the BCM4300 | 20:29 |
| musashi | Tidus, shoot. i was hoping the nvidia stuff would be simple and cool - just doing it in the background. okay, are you saying that while installing gutsy i can also set up software raid? i've never seen an option for that. | 20:29 |
| chymera | davenull, here | 20:29 |
| chymera | http://pastebin.com/m7108a79b | 20:29 |

| MillerLite | Tidus, is mine a broacom? | 20:29 |
| Tidus | MillerLite, yes it is | 20:29 |
| ray_ | gparted wont let me resize my partiton for linux, because it is mounted any other options? | 20:29 |
| soundray | btard: that dll thing is a Windows problem. Ask in a Windows channel. To get a grub boot entry for XP, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a boot entry for it. There is a sample for Windows at the top of the file. | 20:29 |
| Tidus | MillerLite, 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) | 20:29 |

| davenull | chymera: that sucks | 20:30 |
| MillerLite | so i should download the xp drivers for it, and run it with wine and it will work? | 20:30 |

| raph | hi, the ext3 fs on my external hd is partly broken. Some files i could simply copy to a backup partition, others stop copying with an error msg (something like "reading of file not possible"). Is there a way to get the corrupt data back? | 20:30 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | hi folks | 20:30 |
| musashi | Tidus, is that the only way or can i install normally and then add the raid stuff afterwards? seeing as how it's already installed and i don't have the alternate cd :) | 20:30 |
| ComPro | what would cause fglrx to stop working? last night after a reboot, it wouldn't load X properly, so today, i reformatted and started from scratch, and fglrx still will not load X properly. it falls back to vesa. | 20:30 |
| nirgle | did the package change names or? | 20:30 |
| Tidus | it's under system -> Administration -> Windows wireless drivers | 20:30 |
| ray_ | that partition is what i am running right now | 20:30 |
| btard | soundray: ok i'll try that | 20:30 |
| chymera | davenull, the drives are still there... any ideas? | 20:30 |
| ray_ | if i were to use the live cd would that work? | 20:30 |
| davenull | chymera: have anything important on them? | 20:30 |
| chymera | ray_yes | 20:31 |
| Tidus | musashi, you won't be able to add it later because it requires certain type of partitions... | 20:31 |
| arash_ | btard: what program do you use for irc? ,eh, one second. what'r ur problem? isn't it that irc isn't working for you? | 20:31 |
| btard | oh, XChat | 20:31 |
| MillerLite | Tidus: so i should download the xp drivers for it, and run it with wine and it will work? | 20:31 |
| btard | it isn't the irc that is the problem | 20:31 |
| btard | tho | 20:31 |
| Tidus | MillerLite, no, you wont use wine | 20:31 |
| chymera | davenull of course, not anything but everything, their intact, as far as i know its the table that got fucked up | 20:31 |
| btard | I'm fine. Soundray helped me. | 20:31 |
| btard | Thanks tho | 20:31 |
| arash_ | btard: then dont say that that is your problem. It just causes confusion | 20:31 |
| MillerLite | what should i use? | 20:32 |
| Tidus | MillerLite, you'll use the windows wireless drivers tool that i pointed to you. system -> Administration -> windows wireless drivers | 20:32 |
| soundray | btard: make sure you add any new entry after the line that begins ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC... | 20:32 |
| chymera | davenull, i started discussing this case on the forums but somewhy my partner died out, ahve a look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622404 | 20:32 |
| soundray | *begins with | 20:32 |
| musashi | Tidus, okay. guess i'll be downloading the alternate cd. one last question, is the software raid an okay way to go? i mean is it relatively stable and problem free running in the background or will i need to "mess" with it a lot? | 20:32 |
| Tidus | musashi, i've got a headless server with 3 disks in software raid5... been stable for a year now | 20:33 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | can anyone help me getting my wireless connection to work? I was using Ubuntu/Xubuntu 7.04 before and my wireless connection worked fine. After a clean install of Ubuntu 7.10 I am unable to connect to my network | 20:33 |
| Tidus | musashi, software raid is done in the background by the linux kernel... so if the kernel's relatively stable... then so will your raid :) | 20:33 |
| Tidus | AllNicksAreTaken, what chipset is your wireless card? | 20:34 |
| chymera | any ideas davenull ? | 20:34 |
| flithm | hey everyone... anyone know what package the opengl man pages are in? | 20:34 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | good question. I forgot what chipset it had. Is there a way to find out? | 20:34 |

| Ashfire908 | juano__, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45833/ | 20:34 |
| musashi | Tidus, cool. thanks for the help. i guess the raid controller on my edubuntu server at work is a fancy hardware controller. should have known that a $200 mobo wouldn't have the same | 20:35 |
| Tidus | musashi, most sata raid chipsets aren't true raid. | 20:35 |
| MillerLite | Tidus: so i should download the broadcom Corp BCM94311MCG , then run the windows wifi installer? | 20:35 |
| Tidus | yes | 20:35 |
| killroy_2 | question: I want to buy either a USB or PCMCIA NIC for my lappy. I am looking for recommendations for a product that is known to work well with gutsy | 20:35 |
| chymera | same thing davenull, blabla bad format on the same lines | 20:35 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | Can someone help me with permissions in ubuntu? | 20:35 |
| Tidus | killroy_2, the netgear FA120 usb wired ethernet works fine | 20:35 |
| soundray | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: you need to say what the problem is. | 20:36 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | Tidus: oh yeah, it's an USB wifi stick. lsusb gives me: id 0b05:1706 | 20:36 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | Sure | 20:36 |
| killroy_2 | wireless | 20:36 |
| killroy_2 | Tidus: sorry, I meant to state that I need wireless | 20:36 |
| soundray | Tidus: what's "true raid"? | 20:36 |
| Tidus | killroy_2, oh. my linksys WPC54GS works fine with ndiswrapper | 20:36 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | I want to edit some files on my ipod but it says I dont have the permission to do so | 20:36 |
| davenull | chymera: well, never used it, but fsck -p is automatic repair, might kill the part table, might fix it. my best guess | 20:36 |
| chymera | the fact davenull, that is i changed some things in my fstab, uncommented the lines of the partitions and deleted the UDII tags or what their called, so i won't get the error at startup.... but it still didn't fix my mount problem | 20:36 |
| Tidus | it's pcmcia | 20:36 |
| musashi | Tidus, i suppose you would need to buy a fancy controller. i'll go software and see what happens | 20:36 |
| Tidus | AllNicksAreTaken, i guess you'd have to use ndiswrapper with the windows drivers for it | 20:36 |
| flithm | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: permissions isn't an ubuntu thing... try #linuxhelp maybe or google "unix permissions" | 20:36 |
| D4rkB34n | soundray, bad.... nothing happen | 20:36 |
| soundray | MeTrOiD014|Kevin: open the editor with sudo or gksudo, e.g. 'gksudo gedit' | 20:37 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: hd0,4 for your linux partition | 20:37 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | kk | 20:37 |

| juano__ | Ashfire908: and for ntfs partition if its xp hd0,1 | 20:37 |
| Tidus | davenull, my wireless card? | 20:37 |
| chymera | davenull, what happens if i kill the partition table? | 20:37 |
| chymera | do i loose the data? | 20:37 |
| MeTrOiD014|Kevin | soundray: kk | 20:37 |
| Ashfire908 | juano__, i know the it's incorrect | 20:37 |
| chymera | or just the partitioning? | 20:37 |
| Ashfire908 | *its | 20:37 |
| Tidus | davenull, Linksys WPC54GS (Wireless-G with SpeedBooster), ubuntu gutsy | 20:37 |
| davenull | chymera: lol, total annihilation | 20:38 |
| soundray | D4rkB34n: something may be wrong with your user configuration. Try 'mv ~/.openoffice.org2 ~/oooconfig-backup' and try again. This will start over with a new config. | 20:38 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: sda5 is your / partition right ? | 20:38 |
| killroy_2 | Tidus: see, now, my lappy has an Intel PRO wireless 2100 but I'm getting a firmware issue, so I have a WPC54G ver 4.0 PCMCIA but I can't get the system to recognize it. I've installed drivers with ndiswrapper and ran the modprobe, but I never get a device. Of course, I haven't turned off the internal nic. What might I be doing wrong? Can you recommend a link to assist with setup? | 20:38 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | Tidus: the default drivers on Ubuntu 7.04 worked fine though. Are there any known wlan0 problems with Ubuntu 7.10 ? | 20:38 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: that would be hd0,4 in grub | 20:38 |
| davenull | Tidus: is it a broadcom chipset, lspci | 20:38 |
| Tidus | killroy_2, that should be TI ACX chipset | 20:38 |
| Tidus | which has linux drivers | 20:38 |
| gi | ciao a tutti | 20:38 |
| Tidus | AllNicksAreTaken, i haven't had issues | 20:38 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: are you able to boot into ubuntu or ntfs/windows ? | 20:38 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | hmm | 20:38 |
| MillerLite | Tidus: so i should download the broadcom Corp BCM94311MCG , then run the windows wifi installer? | 20:38 |
| Tidus | MillerLite, yes | 20:38 |
| === Amigo59717 is now known as _Christian | ||
| Tidus | killroy_2, my other pcmcia wlan card is a WPC54G version 4 | 20:39 |
| MillerLite | Tidus: where do i find driver? | 20:39 |
| Tidus | and this one's a WPC54GS v2 | 20:39 |
| tapas | i'm installing ubuntu here on a friends computer.. ii upgraded from the gutsy beta cd i had to current gutsy | 20:39 |
| tapas | and installed the nvidia driver | 20:39 |
| Tidus | MillerLite, i'd say try broadcom's website | 20:39 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | is it possible that IPv6 might be giving issues? | 20:39 |
| Tidus | AllNicksAreTaken, not entirely sure | 20:39 |
| tapas | and now 3d acceleration works.. yay.. | 20:39 |
| tapas | but resolution is gone down to 640 x 480 | 20:40 |
| tapas | :( | 20:40 |
| foug | When I order something from the Ubuntu, where does it ship from? And it can ship to the states, correct? | 20:40 |
| killroy_2 | Tidus: are you saying that I shouldn't need to ndiswrapper then with the WPC54G v4.0 PCMCIA? And if not, how do I get it to be recognized in gutsy? I've got the power light lit, so clearly it's powered up, but when I ifconfig I only see eth0 and eth1 (my wired and internal wireless) and no additiona devices... | 20:40 |
| soundray | AllNicksAreTaken: I've got trouble with wifi on 7.10, too. Disabling ipv6 improved it a bit. | 20:40 |
| tapas | also i cannot find te ndiswrapper module for the 2.6.22-14-generic kernel | 20:40 |
| tapas | it should be installed, but cannot be found... | 20:40 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | soundray: great you just got my hopes up. I'll be checking it out right now | 20:40 |
| soundray | !ipv6 | AllNicksAreTaken | 20:41 |
| ubotu | AllNicksAreTaken: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 20:41 |
| D4rkB34n | soundray, nothing again, i'll install from the original download, first i'll remove from synaptic | 20:41 |
| Tidus | killroy_2, yeah, you shouldn't need ndiswrapper. it should be a Texas Instruments ACX111 chipset which is supported by default in gutsy | 20:41 |
| foug | When I order something from the Ubuntu, where does it ship from? And it can ship to the states, correct? | 20:41 |
| soundray | AllNicksAreTaken: I still get the occasional dropped connection, though. | 20:41 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | thanks. I was just searching on google | 20:41 |
| soundray | D4rkB34n: hold on | 20:41 |
| D4rkB34n | soundray, i'm downloading ooo_2.3.0_linuxintel_install_deb.tar.gz | 20:42 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | soundray: do you happen to have a Linksys WRT54G ? | 20:42 |
| davenull | Tidus: ive got a few different chipset cards, never needed to go to ndiswrapper | 20:42 |
| MillerLite | tidus, broadcom doesnt make a BCM94311MCG | 20:42 |
| soundray | AllNicksAreTaken: I do indeed | 20:42 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: something like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45836/ | 20:42 |
| killroy_2 | Tidus: ok, then shouldn't I see the device in my network device list? | 20:42 |
| YoungBalls | what up with it | 20:42 |
| D4rkB34n | soulrider, i tryed to reinstall from synaptic, but crashes | 20:42 |
| dstadulis | I am trying to repartition my drive that I have ubuntu installed on, when I boot up the gparted livecd and try to resize the partition it says that the drive is in use but I haven't mounted it. Who knows why e2fsck spits back that it's occupied | 20:43 |
| Tidus | killroy_2, lspci it and see what chipset it's using | 20:43 |
| soundray | D4rkB34n: if you suspect your installation, the first thing you should try is "sudo apt-get --reinstall install openoffice.org-impress" | 20:43 |
| killroy_2 | tidus ok, will do | 20:43 |
| D4rkB34n | soundray, yap.... thanks | 20:43 |
| Ashfire908 | juano__, you don't understand do you. i'm trying to install grub on a jump drive via the grub reinstall in the recovery mode on the alternate cd. | 20:43 |
| killroy_2 | Tidus: but assuming it is the TI chipset, is there anything I need to do to get the device initiated? | 20:43 |
| SmileyChris | so if I'm installing an app just for my own user, where's the normal place to keep it? | 20:43 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | soundray: I've been searching around on the internet and found out a lot of people have issues with it. It's some sort of firmware problem. I decided to put the DD-WRT (micro) firmware on it and it's been working fine since. | 20:44 |
| davenull | SmileyChris: usr/bin | 20:44 |
| Tidus | google is your friend on that one. i'm not entirely sure on the steps to fix tiacx | 20:44 |
| Ryan_was_here | hey, can anyone direct me to some gkrellm skins? My theme is black/green and it just doesn't wok. I have checked gnome-look.org and art.gnome.org and google, but can't seem to find any. | 20:44 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | Had to power cycle the router everyday before | 20:44 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: ok, should of told me first :P | 20:44 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: thought you were trying to install grub back on mbr | 20:44 |
| Ashfire908 | juano__, lol no | 20:44 |
| soundray | AllNicksAreTaken: I've got OpenWrt firmware on it, but it's a bit outdated. I'll try upgrading that -- thanks for the tip! | 20:44 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: and that you couldn't boot | 20:44 |
| chymera | davenull, still here?= | 20:44 |
| davenull | chymera: yup | 20:45 |
| Jock2 | Newest version of Wine is 0.9.49 but I have version 0.9.46. However, when I right-click my Wine installation in Synaptic Package Manager the "Mark for upgrade" is greyed out. Does that mean I can't upgrade? | 20:45 |
| PeterPan_ | can any one recomend a good dictionary to install ? | 20:45 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | soundray: you're welcome. You better do some good reading about DD-WRT first. Only DD-WRT micro works on it unfortunately (at least, on my WRT54G v5.1) | 20:45 |
| chymera | davenull i reverted to my commented fstab file | 20:45 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Jock2: It means it has not been brought back.. If you MUST have the latest you need to get it outside | 20:47 |
| soundray | Jock2: Ubuntu packages are well tested with the distribution, but they aren't always the latest. You can install a more recent version by adding the winehq repository for debian-based distributions to your sources.list | 20:47 |

| juano__ | Ashfire908: sudo grub-install /dev/sdb | 20:49 |
| Tupsik | if I upgrade from 7.04 directly, how much MB will be downloaded? | 20:49 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: tried that ? | 20:49 |
| SmileyChris | AngelsOfDestiny: so run avant-window-navigator from terminal and see what the error is - probably you're not using a compositing manager | 20:49 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: that give you error code 1 ? | 20:50 |
| soundray | Tupsik: that depends on how many and which packages you have installed. | 20:50 |
| AngelsOfDestiny | smileychris i was under the impression it works with compiz | 20:50 |

| AngelsOfDestiny | smileychris ya there ya go it works in terminal and not wit the icon for some reasob | 20:51 |

| sky`sunset | lol | 21:08 |
| sauvin | sky`sunset, I just tuned in (sort of) to what you're asing. What is your usb device, and what are you trying to do with it again, please? | 21:08 |
| sky`sunset | usb is kinston | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sauvin: check the link about persistent on usb | 21:08 |
| Ashfire908 | juano__, i moved this stuff from a server that i own | 21:09 |
| sauvin | Jack_Sparrow, that link scrolled off. | 21:09 |
| B-rabbit | tonyyarusso: i did that when i first opened evolution....it filled in all the configuration and stuff.....i also put in my hotmail password...it doesn't seem to work :( | 21:09 |

| Tupsik | one more question - is there a fast but feature-rich graphics viewer? | 21:11 |
| B-rabbit | does anyone know how to change the POP(protocol) password...can it be done? | 21:11 |
| sauvin | sky`sunset, Jack_Sparrow, as I understand it, what's being discussed here is reformatting a USB device to ext2, no? | 21:11 |
| Ashfire908 | juano__, i want grub on the the flash drive, sdb | 21:11 |
| sky`sunset | right | 21:11 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/grub_intro/ that could be usefull | 21:12 |
| sky`sunset | then the windows can't understand the format anymore | 21:12 |
| sauvin | sky`sunset, Jack_Sparrow, I believe fs.org has ext2 FS drivers for Windows. | 21:12 |
| sky`sunset | really? | 21:12 |
| joshua__ | cd cuts off half of my desktop | 21:12 |
| sky`sunset | how can i put the name b4 the msg? | 21:12 |
| sky`sunset | sauvin | 21:12 |
| stefg | !ext3 | sky`sunset | 21:13 |
| ubotu | sky`sunset: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 21:13 |
| Tupsik | is there a fast but feature-rich graphics viewer? | 21:13 |
| mariano7 | net | 21:13 |
| joshua__ | in other words I hope this is a quick fix I dont want to have to configure xorg.conf just to fix my sudo problem | 21:13 |
| sauvin | stefg, YES, thank you. | 21:13 |
| sauvin | josh, regardless of the state of your desktop, you should still be able to open an xterm. | 21:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sauvin: Sorry had to get the door.. | 21:13 |
| joshua__ | sauvin: sounds good | 21:13 |
| sauvin | Jack_Sparrow, don't be sorry. Life, like doodoo, happens. | 21:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Yes, it nees to be setup specifically for that purpose | 21:14 |
| sky`sunset | stefg, how can i put the name b4 the msg? | 21:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sauvin: you can add a second partition on there for windows if you must. | 21:14 |
| Tupsik | then tell me guys, is it possible to compile Ubuntu kernel with optimizations for my system? | 21:14 |
| joshua__ | so at the the promtp type gksudo edit? | 21:14 |
| sauvin | Jack_Sparrow, of course you can, if the usb device is large enough to manage it. | 21:14 |
| sky`sunset | can config the formats taht both linux and windows can understand? | 21:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sauvin: It works quite well... I have an iso of a basic usb in persistent.. I think base is 42 meg | 21:15 |
| stefg | !kernel | Tupsik | 21:15 |
| ubotu | Tupsik: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages | 21:15 |
| davenull | Tupsik: yes, look up in google, too long to tell you here | 21:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sauvin: I just got frustrated telling him to look and he kept wining about not being able to find anything | 21:15 |
| Tupsik | so doesn't this speed up the Ubuntu? | 21:16 |
| sauvin | Jack_Sparrow, who? | 21:16 |
| joshua__ | soundray sauvin, nopw that I am in the live environment what should I do ? | 21:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skygge_: No you cant | 21:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sorry wronk sky | 21:16 |
| sauvin | joshua__, if your desktop is messed up, I'd open a terminal and try to use nano to edit the /etc/sudoers file. | 21:16 |
| Skygge_ | Jack_Sparrow, np | 21:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 21:16 |
| sauvin | Mind you, you'll have to FIND it, first, joshua__; it'll be on a /dev/hd* or /dev/sd* partition. | 21:17 |
| uberr | yo. what are the defaults for grub when booting xp and vista | 21:17 |

| Rudd-O | sauvin: .dsc is what I get when I apt-get source | 21:19 |

| Rudd-O | that is certainly a library that got upgraded and has a bug, or the fglrx driver has a bug itself | 21:21 |
| Rudd-O | you need to report the backtrace in your log to bugs.launchpad.net | 21:21 |

| Rudd-O | naynay: state your question | 21:22 |

| joshua__ | sauvin: What is the best way to mount a harddrive in live mode? | 21:24 |
| sky`sunset | oh, just like using linux | 21:24 |
| matttis | which /proc is for the screen reslolution or refresh rate ? | 21:24 |
| MeeKs | i just got this laptop for my dad, hes very very very computer "retarded" i want some opinions on what version of linux to run on this for him. http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/as3680.htm | 21:24 |
| meoblast001 | hello, ive been trying to get help from #C++ but they just critisize me, so ill ask here since other Ubuntu users might have experienced this..... i need a way for resources to be copied through the build script?... i checked the internet and cant find anything | 21:24 |
| sauvin | joshua__, do you know what partition your installed ubuntu is on? | 21:24 |
| Rudd-O | Ctrl_: you're better off not compiling stuff manually, unless you can build a debian package. trust me, it is better for your long-term mental health :-D | 21:24 |
| joshua__ | sauvin: I think its hdc1 | 21:24 |
| Rudd-O | ahahaaha! its finishing pulseaudio deb | 21:25 |
| ComPro | Rudd-O, the vesa driver works. fglrx doesn't. | 21:25 |
| sauvin | joshua__, it's not likely to be hdc1. | 21:25 |
| Jock2 | Sometimes Ubuntu freezes, such as when trying to run a particular application in full-screen mode in Wine. I can't move the mouse cursor, and ctrl+alt+del doesn't work. Do I have to restart the computer, or is there another way? | 21:25 |
| Rudd-O | ComPro: NOT fglrx. ATI. | 21:25 |
| adac | if I want that a python script is executed at first when an user shuts down the system...were do i have to put it or how do i solve this? | 21:25 |
| Ctrl_ | Rud , Ubuntu isnt the first linux distro that i use belieave me ;) | 21:25 |
| joshua__ | sauvin: I have an unconventional partition set-up | 21:25 |
| Rudd-O | Jock2: control alt del never works on Linux X Window System, but you can try Control Alt BACKSPACE | 21:25 |
| juano__ | ComPro: enabled restricted drivers ?¡ | 21:25 |
| sauvin | joshua__, do you have a /media directory? | 21:25 |
| Rudd-O | Jock2: the freeze is most likely not a freeze but a windowing system hang | 21:25 |
| Jock2 | Rudd-O: didn't work either :( | 21:25 |
| AllNicksAreTaken | silly alternate iso is supposed to have LiveCD, but it doesn't. *shrugs* | 21:26 |
| joshua__ | sauvin: Yes but there is nothing listed there | 21:26 |
| ComPro | juano_: i enabled restricted drivers. that's when it broke. | 21:26 |
| Jock2 | Rudd-O: ok, I see. | 21:26 |
| Rudd-O | if you have sysrq enabled (I'm not sure if thats the default) you can try the sysrq magic key combo that kills the X server | 21:26 |
| Rudd-O | lemme fetch you a guide | 21:26 |
| sauvin | joshua__, try this (in the terminal): mkdir /media/mystuff | 21:26 |
| * sauvin is going to play merry hell trying to figure out how to mount stuff on a livecd system if that doesn't work | 21:26 | |
| juano__ | ComPro: and you install anything before that ? | 21:26 |
| Rudd-O | http://rudd-o.com/archives/2007/08/01/controlling-runaway-processes-on-linux | 21:26 |
| ComPro | juano_: no, it's a clean install | 21:26 |
| joshua__ | sauvin: Permisision denied | 21:26 |
| sauvin | joshua__, try sudo mkdir /media/mystuff | 21:27 |
| juano__ | ComPro: i see.. what video card ? | 21:27 |
| saruzzo | ciao a tutti | 21:27 |
| ComPro | juano_: ATI Radeon x1650 PCI Express | 21:27 |

| joshua__ | sauvin: that worked | 21:27 |
| sauvin | joshua__, try sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /media/mystuff | 21:27 |
| juano__ | ComPro: followed the !ati guide ? | 21:28 |
| === ibanez is now known as a7x | ||
| Ashfire908 | juano__, grub says it can't mount. | 21:28 |
| Ctrl_ | I guess i am going to remove this stupid distro , i never like debian and i didnt know why i though i would ;) | 21:28 |
| sauvin | (now, the question I have is: on what partition is the ubuntu livecd mounted? | 21:28 |
| ComPro | !ati | 21:28 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:28 |
| juano__ | ComPro: if the restricted one doesnt work, try installing the binary one | 21:28 |
| Rudd-O | sauvin: use the mount command to figure out | 21:28 |
| juano__ | ComPro: follow that guide | 21:29 |
| Rudd-O | Ctrl_: I have the same quibbles you have | 21:29 |
| sauvin | Rudd-O, I'd have to find my freaking livecd and reboot on it :\ | 21:29 |
| RequinB4 | can anyone tell me the difference between a drive and a mount | 21:29 |
| a-arschi | had 21GB of work data on an external HDD and it has been deleted by an u | 21:29 |
| Rudd-O | sauvin: the livecd is mounted on a fictitious loopback filesystem, not on a real partition | 21:29 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: u follow the guide in that link ? | 21:29 |
| Ctrl_ | really? prove it | 21:29 |
| stefg | RequinB4: a drive is raw hardware. when yo have a filesystem on t you can mount it to a directory tree | 21:30 |
| sauvin | Rudd-O, what would the livecd's device node be? | 21:30 |
| Jvalldom | dga support? need help | 21:30 |
| sky`sunset | does this channel allow pm ? | 21:30 |
| B-rabbit | does evolution need imap(Internet message access protocol) to work | 21:30 |
| NET||abuse | hey guys.. is it possible to save a divx that's being streamed by totem-plugin? | 21:30 |
| Rudd-O | RequinB4: a drive is the physical machine with platters inside. a volume is a partition with data and format inside the drive. a mount is a place on your filesystem where the volume shows up. | 21:30 |
| RequinB4 | stefg - ah that makes more sence - just confused people use the two interchangably | 21:30 |
| RequinB4 | Rudd-O | 21:30 |
| sauvin | sky`sunset, if you can't pm, I suspect it's because your nick isn't registered or you're not identified. | 21:30 |
| Rudd-O | NET||abuse: honestly dont know, I suggest usinv VLC | 21:30 |
| stefg | !pm | sky` | 21:30 |
| ubotu | sky`: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 21:30 |

| sky`sunset | i can send pm | 21:31 |
| NET||abuse | Rudd-O, is there something i can do to use vlc as a plugin instead? | 21:31 |

| chester_martins_ | HOW CAN I DELETE A DIRECTORY BY COMAND LINE? | 21:31 |

| Ctrl_ | funny , each one suggest how to remove dir by his own way ;) | 21:32 |
| sky`sunset | sauvin : but i can send pm in other servers | 21:32 |
| Rudd-O | but -i guess you could in theory hack the totem pipeline to output a copy of the stream to disk | 21:32 |
| bullgard4 | http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/18750/ shows a log of my restart. Why does the dmesg time stamp jump in line 59 from [ 0.000000] suddenly to [ 18.110675]? | 21:32 |
| Rudd-O | you're better off building a gstreamer pipeline manually and executing that pipeline | 21:32 |
| sauvin | sky`sunset, freenode servers have their own irc server software. | 21:32 |
| Rudd-O | bullgard4: because time is a relative construct? | 21:32 |
| sky`sunset | sauvin i c | 21:32 |
| sauvin | sky`sunset, if I wasn't clear on this point, you're on a freenode server now. | 21:33 |
| Rudd-O | or maybe because after 18 seconds give or take, the klogd is started and extracts data from the kernel log ringbuffer into userspace | 21:33 |
| sky`sunset | sauvin, i know wut u r saying. | 21:33 |
| chester_martins_ | can anybody help me? i'm trying doing a custom of ubuntu for one school use... who can help me talk me pvt :) | 21:33 |
| Jvalldom | problemas /dev/video0 con el camorama alguien lo ha pasado ya? | 21:33 |

| Rudd-O | B-rabbit: hotmail is not compatible with evolution in any shape or form | 21:37 |
| nightdragon | chester: edubuntu? | 21:37 |
| Rudd-O | you need to use gotmail to automate getting mail from htomail into a local folder and use the local folder | 21:37 |
| emma | B-rabbit -- I am sorry I cannot help you and I realize this may not be a productive comment but in all honesty I truely believe you would be better off just not using hotmail. | 21:37 |

| Rudd-O | eth01: itunes < amarok | 21:42 |
| juano__ | chester_martins_: with wine you can | 21:42 |
| sauvin | chester_martins_, I've read in various places that recent versions of iTunes on wine is a Bad Idea. | 21:42 |
| emma | Sure no prob :P | 21:42 |
| eth01 | jscinoz: it's very slow. | 21:42 |
| sauvin | ompaul, in a busy channel like this, nobody can blame you. | 21:42 |
| chester_martins_ | it's slow with wine :S | 21:42 |
| juano__ | chester_martins_: yep | 21:42 |
| Rudd-O | Phill: ROFL! | 21:42 |
| eth01 | Russ-O: it's not iTunes .... read questions properly. | 21:42 |
| juano__ | chester_martins_: i prefer amarok or rhythmbox or listen | 21:42 |
| Phill | Rudd-O; I've had bad experiences with X11 configuration files -,- | 21:43 |
| stefg | chester_martins_: it's called amarok on ubuntu :-) | 21:43 |
| Rudd-O | damnit, I want pulseaudio 0.9.8 and I have no idea how to build it! | 21:43 |
| eth01 | or, you could just create a windows VM using XEN ;) | 21:43 |
| sauvin | Is the iTunes question because of a recent iPod? | 21:43 |
| michal__ | Hi, I bought Creative Zen, and i want to connect it to my computer. How can i do it? | 21:43 |

| nightdragon | umm... does anyone know the parition manager for linux? what its called? | 21:44 |

| Rudd-O | itunes: 8=D | 21:45 |
| Rudd-O | amarok: 8==========D | 21:45 |
| chester_martins_ | never! itunes is the best music organizer!! | 21:45 |
| juano__ | lol | 21:45 |
| Rudd-O | chester_martins_: you honestly haven't organized music with amarok before, have you? | 21:46 |
| juano__ | its the slowest program ive ever seen | 21:46 |
| jscinoz | Rudd-0, both are laptops running ubuntu, thats the only thing in common, and my current one has had the mobo, gpu and cpu replaced already, and memtest returns no errors. | 21:46 |
| chester_martins_ | amarok runs wel with gnome??????? | 21:46 |
| jscinoz | rudd-O, so i'm quite sure its related to ubuntu | 21:46 |
| Rudd-O | I meant any common hardware among the laptops, jscinoz | 21:46 |
| Undead_Zeu1 | this is BS, Ubuntu has been giving me annoying problems ever since I installed it, I am going back to Windows XP | 21:46 |

| sauvin | Amarok is a pretty ambitious project; it's not the simplest thing you can use, but the little monster certainly has lots of CAPABILITY. | 21:47 |
| juano__ | best music player is audacious | 21:47 |
| Rudd-O | Undead_Zeu1: good luck with the journey. I left windows XP because it gave me annoying problems, and so has kubuntu, but the difference is in kubuntu I can actually FIX | 21:47 |
| juano__ | by far | 21:47 |
| Ashfire908 | juano__: nope | 21:47 |
| Rudd-O | juano__: audacious = lame xmms clone | 21:47 |
| jscinoz | Rudd-O, alright... CPU, one was centrino solo, one centrino duo, first had 1gb of 333mhz ram, other has 4gb of 666, old had nvidia gefore 5200M, new has 8400m GS | 21:47 |
| Rudd-O | maybe related to video? | 21:47 |
| Rudd-O | can you try vesa driver? | 21:47 |
| chester_martins_ | i need a good music organizer!! | 21:47 |
| juano__ | Rudd-O: can you play midis, spc, nsf with amarok ? | 21:47 |
| Rudd-O | see if it goes away | 21:47 |
| Undead_Zeu1 | I haven't been able to fix any of my problems in Ubuntu, and Windows XP actually gave me no problems | 21:47 |
| Ashfire908 | juano__: i told it to boot the flash drive and i got this: "GRUB " | 21:47 |
| jscinoz | Rudd-O, vesa or the non accelerated nvidia? | 21:48 |
| Rudd-O | juano__: not midis, but I think scp and nsf yes, if xine plays it, amarok plays it | 21:48 |
| juano__ | lol | 21:48 |
| Rudd-O | jscinoz: vesa and nv if you can | 21:48 |
| jscinoz | Rudd-O, alright, brb restarting X | 21:48 |
| Rudd-O | Ashfire908: grub is just the computer's way of saying it wants food. | 21:48 |
| juano__ | Rudd-O: a player that cant play midis just is way bad | 21:48 |
| Rudd-O | short, sweet, to the point grunt | 21:48 |
| Rudd-O | juano__: a man who listens to midis is plain sick | 21:48 |
| sauvin | Well, if you don't like Amarok, why don't you browse the repos? I thought I saw several. | 21:48 |

| Rudd-O | Rukus: Konqueror? | 21:49 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: so you tried booting with pendrive ? | 21:49 |
| Rukus | does it do SSL? | 21:49 |
| Rudd-O | I used weex to push shit through FTP. it was fantastic | 21:49 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: and it gave you an error ? | 21:50 |
| juano__ | Ashfire908: what error ? | 21:50 |
| Rukus | i need it ti do auth TLS | 21:50 |

| sky`sunset | btw does anyone here use backtrack 2? | 21:50 |
| Rudd-O | sftp requires ssh, which isnt exactly compaible with the needs of a topsite operator | 21:50 |

| Rudd-O | killroy_2: either use the systray icon of network manager, or install wpa_supplicant and configure it , which is a PAIN but works every time | 21:51 |
| sauvin | sky`sunset, you can't format a filesystem that's currently in use. | 21:51 |
| nightdragon | lol this is a MADHOUSE | 21:51 |

| kst- | i'm running gutsy gnome but want to give KDE a shot, (how) can I just install KDE and test it? will I screw up my system by that? what's the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu anyway, just GUI and the software that ships with it? | 21:53 |
| jscinoz | Rudd-O, doesnt occur with either vesa or nv, vesa results in the screen being distorted, nv doesnt, so atm using nv, however this is not a solution, as i need hardware accel | 21:53 |
| mnuaimat | hi guys, i have 17" LCD monitor, is there anyway i can enable something like microsoft's clearType on my ubuntu 7.10 in order to improve appearance of fonts? | 21:53 |
| Rudd-O | jscinoz: install nvidia-glx-new package see how it goes | 21:53 |
| Ashfire908 | juano__: i'm going to try now again. i put device.map file on there now | 21:53 |
| Slart | kst-: why not just try the live cd.. it ought to give you an idea of what it's like | 21:53 |
| jscinoz | Rudd-O, thats the one i was using | 21:54 |
| Rudd-O | install nvidia-glx plain | 21:54 |
| Rudd-O | or try with nvidia-glx-legacy (doubt it will work) | 21:54 |
| BRazBoy-00MA | hi | 21:54 |
| ciacon | Rudd-O: how can it happen, that the simplest of programs (for eg mpg123) can't access the sound-card?? is this due to a malconfiguration? | 21:54 |
| Slart | mnuaimat: yes.. there is something similar.. hang on.. I'll see what it's called | 21:54 |
| jscinoz | Rudd-O, would trying nvidia without all of the added Option lines in xorg.conf be a good idea? | 21:54 |
| mnuaimat | Slart: ok , i am waiting | 21:54 |
| Phill | Anyone know how to remap a key currently recognized by xev as "0x7a" to be a middle click? Rudd-O suggest xorg.conf; but... I have no idea how to edit that properly. | 21:54 |
| sauvin | ciacon, do you get a "/dev/dsp busy" error? | 21:54 |
| Rudd-O | how can I find out if someone has built pulseaudio 0.9.8 for gutsy? google is no help. | 21:54 |
| Rudd-O | a KEYBOARD key? | 21:55 |
| killroy_2 | ok, how about this: I'm fed up with struggling with this, so, can any recommend either a USB wifi NIC or PCMCIA that will work "out of the box" with Gutsy? | 21:55 |
| Rudd-O | not thatI know of | 21:55 |
| Rukus | i'll reword, i need a FlashFXP alternative for linux that supports SSL, specifically auth TLS. any suggestions? | 21:55 |
| Rudd-O | killroy_2: it's hit and miss, but I have gotten every card I tried to work with ndiswrapper and the windows driver inf | 21:55 |
| stefg | ciacon: 'lspci | grep audio ' or 'aplay -l' will tell you what soundchip you have | 21:55 |
| Slart | mnuaimat: in system, preferences, appearance.. under fonts.. there's subpixel rendering at the bottom | 21:55 |
| jscinoz | killroy_2, anything with an intel chipset seems to work pretty well, i got wpa and everything out of the box. | 21:55 |

| jscinoz | Rudd-O, so now that we know my problem only occurs with the nvidia driver, what can i do to run nvidia without the problem | 22:00 |
| Rudd-O | eventually the card starts to crap out in windows as well. | 22:00 |
| a7x | juano__, and MasterShrek are still my heroes | 22:00 |
| mnuaimat | _bt: dmesg|grep cam gives nothing | 22:00 |
| juano__ | ComPro: yea. i think to buy another card is a bit overreacting but, i have an nvidia never had trouble what so ever with any linux distro neither windows | 22:00 |
| goodhabit | cthulfuego, I have installed it, but it seems the icon doesn't added. How to start it? | 22:01 |
| cthulfuego | goodhabit: You probably need to restart networkmanager | 22:01 |
| jscinoz | Rukus, does iglooFTP suit your needs? | 22:01 |
| Rudd-O | jscinoz: if you tried nvidia-glx-legacy, nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-glx and none of them worked... you need a new card. it might also be a problem with the agpgart | 22:01 |
| _bt | mnuaimat: just try dmesg and look towards the bottom | 22:01 |
| ComPro | i still have my old AGP nVidia card. sadly, my new mobo doesnt do AGP | 22:01 |
| Rudd-O | the icon appears once you restart your graphical session | 22:01 |
| Rudd-O | probably reboot the machine for good measure, but you can always restart just networking | 22:01 |
| pliumbum | bas | 22:01 |
| Rudd-O | ComPro: same problem over here, stuck with a 8mb integrated ati adapter | 22:02 |
| cthulfuego | sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart | 22:02 |
| mnuaimat | _bt: what should i look for, in the bottom of dmesg ? | 22:02 |
| cthulfuego | Rebooting is in no way necessary. | 22:02 |
| jscinoz | Rudd-O, but is AGP even used in PCI express cards? | 22:02 |
| juano__ | ComPro: sell the agp card and ati card and get a newer nvidia card | 22:02 |
| _bt | anything that might look like its related | 22:02 |
| MilitantPotato | what does $ stand for? | 22:02 |
| Rudd-O | cthulfuego: thats why I said for good measure | 22:02 |
| cthulfuego | Eh | 22:02 |
| ComPro | heh | 22:02 |
| Rudd-O | jscinoz: I understand it is. | 22:02 |
| cthulfuego | `NetworkManager restart' even - no init script. | 22:02 |
| juano__ | ComPro: hehe | 22:02 |
| sauvin | MilitantPotato, in what context? | 22:02 |
| MilitantPotato | cthulfuego: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 22:03 |
| killroy_2 | ok, that taken care of, has anyone see an issue with an Intel wifi where the wifi cycles between connected and disconnected and dmesg reports "ipw2100: Fatal interrupt. Scheduling firmware restart" each time the connection is dropped? | 22:03 |
| jscinoz | Rudd-O, also the same thing happend on a much older card, and this is a laptop so changing the GPU isnt an option | 22:03 |
| cthulfuego | MilitantPotato: Usually it indicates a root shell. | 22:03 |
| MilitantPotato | sauvin: in a terminal | 22:03 |
| goodhabit | cthulfuego, I have not NetworkManager there. | 22:03 |
| Rukus | jscinoz: flashfxp locks at the listing of files, using both latest version wine and flashfxp. also isnt iglooftp NOT free software? kind of the reason i came to linux, so i could find alternatives to those kind of problems. | 22:03 |
| sauvin | MilitantPotato, are you talking about the command prompt? | 22:03 |
| Rukus | or am i wrong? | 22:03 |
| MilitantPotato | sauvin: yea | 22:03 |
| stefg | !ftp | Rukus | 22:03 |
| ubotu | Rukus: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd | 22:03 |
| Beck | How do I change the screen brightness in Ubuntu 7.10? | 22:03 |
| mnuaimat | _bt: i think i am lost, i dunno what i am looking for, sorry but i am still a newbie | 22:03 |
| Rudd-O | Rukus: what does the standard output say when you run wine flashfxp on the console? | 22:03 |
| Rukus | do any of those do SSL | 22:03 |
| mpeters | Rukus: You tried Filezilla? | 22:03 |
| sauvin | MilitantPotato, in a terminal, many shells use a default $ prompt to show you're in a normal user account; a root account would use a # instead. | 22:03 |
| Rukus | no not yet | 22:04 |
| sauvin | MilitantPotato, I believe korn shell uses % for that purpose. | 22:04 |
| cthulfuego | goodhabit: Yeah, correct. Just 'sudo NetworkManager restart' | 22:04 |
| mpeters | Rukus: Filezilla does SSL | 22:04 |
| Bruno1 | Slart: i now get this configure: error: GTK+-2.10 is required to compile aurora. How do i install gtk 2.10? | 22:04 |
| Rudd-O | my shell only shows a blank line. I'm above the user/root duality. | 22:04 |
| Rukus | ok i will try firezilla | 22:04 |
| Slart | Beck: the knob on the monitor? | 22:04 |
| Rukus | file | 22:04 |
| RazzoRz | Hey folks.. | 22:04 |
| juano__ | ComPro: probably if you just installed ubuntu, you can try installing again from scratch and installing the binary driver without enabling the restricted one | 22:04 |
| Beck | Slart: I have a laptop | 22:04 |
| Rudd-O | Bruno1: it's odd, gtk 2.12 is now the default, so it shouldn't require an older version. | 22:04 |
| MilitantPotato | Ah cool. I was following a guide that said run "$ python flyback.py" and I wasn't sure if the $ ment as root or as a user | 22:04 |
| jscinoz | Rukus, also kftpgrabber apparently supports SSL/TLS | 22:04 |
| RazzoRz | has anyone delt with Innotek Virturalbox? | 22:04 |
| Beck | Slart: Well, what do you know, the actual keys work with Ubuntu. o_O | 22:04 |
| Slart | Bruno1: there is probably a package called libgtk sometihng.. try looking in the documentation and use apt-cache search to search for the package to install | 22:05 |
| sauvin | MilitantPotato, don't type the $ :D | 22:05 |
| cthulfuego | Bruno1: it requires the gtk 2.10 or higher headers. | 22:05 |
| Rudd-O | don't give out $ indiscriminately | 22:05 |
| cthulfuego | Bruno1: You need the libgtk-2.0 something -dev package for those. | 22:05 |
| Rudd-O | people will take you for a ride | 22:05 |
| MilitantPotato | yea I gathered that, i wasn't sure if it ment run it as root or not :) | 22:05 |
| jscinoz | rukus, i'd go with filezilla though :P | 22:05 |
| Slart | Beck: oh... didn't think of laptops... but it's nice to know those keys aren't software based =) | 22:05 |
| Bruno1 | cthulfuego: thanks | 22:05 |
| Rudd-O | yes, compiling usually requires the -dev modules of the packages it says | 22:05 |
| jcs | olz | 22:05 |
| ComPro | juano__: maybe later i'll try that. i'm too frustrated now. | 22:05 |
| stefg | Bruno1: and remember that you need the packages with teh *-dev suffix for compiling | 22:05 |
| jscinoz | Rudd-O im going to try the nvidia module but without all the extra options, brb | 22:05 |
| Rukus | ok i will try filezilla | 22:06 |
| sillystring | how do you list your drives and partitions in linux? | 22:06 |
| Rukus | thanks | 22:06 |
| Bruno1 | stefg: ok thanks | 22:06 |
| sillystring | through the console | 22:06 |
| Rudd-O | may I suggest a cold sixpack, ComPro? It doe the trick for me. OK, actually two and a half sixpacks do the trick for me. | 22:06 |
| sauvin | sillystring, I do a sudo fdisk -l | 22:06 |
| RazzoRz | has anyone delt with Innotek Virturalbox? | 22:06 |
| Rudd-O | RazzoRz: I have | 22:06 |
| Rudd-O | RazzoRz: it's VERY NICE, but the networking is a PAIN | 22:06 |
| juano__ | ComPro: lol | 22:06 |
| goodhabit | RazzoRz, yep. | 22:06 |
| RazzoRz | Rudd-O... | 22:06 |
| Rudd-O | I reverted to vmware because of it | 22:06 |
| RazzoRz | well no | 22:06 |
| robdig_ | sillystring: df | 22:06 |
| RazzoRz | I have mine worked out just fine | 22:06 |
| JJtech | anyone here familiar with wine?? | 22:06 |
| juano__ | ComPro: fglrxinfo | 22:06 |
| mnuaimat | _bt: i have disconnect it , then connect it again, then dmesg, it gives usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6 | 22:06 |
| sillystring | kk | 22:07 |
| Rudd-O | I needed bridged networking due to the topology of my home network. | 22:07 |
| juano__ | ComPro: type that in terminal | 22:07 |
| sillystring | what does sudo do to change fdisk -l? | 22:07 |
| Rudd-O | and the instructions were EXTREMELY complicated | 22:07 |
| Phill | Rudd-O: After reading the entire xorg man entry; I have found no reference on zaxismapping - am I blind? | 22:07 |
| sillystring | i had been trying fdisk to no avail | 22:07 |
| goodhabit | RazzoRz, just choose NAT networking, that's all. | 22:07 |
| Rudd-O | mind you I've been on Linux for 10 years now. | 22:07 |
| Rudd-O | ZAxisMapping | 22:07 |
| Rudd-O | you will find it on the x config file | 22:07 |
| RazzoRz | My Networkin is just fine | 22:07 |
| ComPro | fglrxinfo crashes whenever i run it | 22:07 |
| Phill | Rudd-O: But the question is; how to use it? | 22:07 |
| jscinoz | Rudd-O, problem doesnt occur with nvidia driver and no extra options, so now i just have to go through the ~7 options i have set and find which one breaks it. thanks for the help | 22:07 |
| RazzoRz | i want to know about my MIC | 22:07 |
| ipx_ | Can I somehow mount .mdf/.mds-files and bypass copyprotection as I did in daemon tools in windows, and make that cd appear as a real cd for the computer, and therefore act as a mini-image and let my game launch? I've lost my diablo 2 cd and cant get any nocd to work :( | 22:07 |
| stefg | sillystring: fdisk -l needs root-privs, so you have to run it with sudo | 22:07 |
| Rudd-O | ComPro: can you run gdb fglrxinfo then type run in the command line it says? | 22:07 |
| Rudd-O | ipx_: not sure, honestly | 22:08 |
| sauvin | sillystring, unless I'm mistaken (I'm not in ubuntu right now), fdisk is in /sbin, which isn't in a normal user's path. | 22:08 |
| RazzoRz | and.... about installing 120 on my host xp? not sure if the cd drive is seen by 120 | 22:08 |
| Rudd-O | yes | 22:08 |
| Phill | ipx_: Can you get daemon tools to work under emulation? =/ | 22:08 |
| Rudd-O | 120????? | 22:08 |
| Slart | ipx_: you can use mount -o loop /path/to/iso/file /path/to/mount/point/ | 22:08 |
| ComPro | Rudd-O, sure hang on just a sec | 22:08 |
| ipx_ | Phill: I seriously doubt it? | 22:08 |
| Phill | ipx_: So do I =P | 22:08 |
| Rudd-O | Phill: you can get daemontools working just fine under a vmware or virtualbox XP machine | 22:08 |
| ipx_ | Slart: It will not act the way i want | 22:08 |
| ipx_ | Phill: =P | 22:08 |
| goodhabit | cthulfuego, I have done, but nothing is changed. | 22:09 |
| Rudd-O | Slart: I don't think .ms? files can be mounted loop | 22:09 |
| Rudd-O | they aren't isos | 22:09 |
| cthulfuego | goodhabit: Alright, logout and log back in. | 22:09 |
| Phill | gtg peace | 22:09 |
| goodhabit | cthulfuego, I am restarted x server now. | 22:09 |
| Ru | . | 22:09 |
| sauvin | Do a file command on your .ms? file and see what it says. | 22:09 |
| sillystring | /dev/sda5 | 22:09 |
| goodhabit | And then entered again. | 22:09 |
| Slart | ipx_: oh.. then you might be out of luck I think.. | 22:09 |
| ipx_ | Slart: i think so too :( | 22:09 |
| sillystring | /dev/sda5 | 22:09 |
| sillystring | Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. | 22:10 |
| sillystring | Is that bad? | 22:10 |
| Rudd-O | that's a harmless warning | 22:10 |
| Slart | Rudd-O: I've managed to convert the cd's I've needed for wine | 22:10 |
| sillystring | kk | 22:10 |
| ComPro | Rudd-O: Error: unable to open display :0 Program exited with code 0337 | 22:10 |
| goodhabit | cthulfuego, so I am just logouted. | 22:10 |
| Rudd-O | Slart: awesome | 22:10 |
| RazzoRz | so what i am doin is i am trying to install alcohol 120 so i can load a image file, | 22:10 |
| sauvin | RazzoRz, what's the image file? | 22:10 |
| RazzoRz | need for speed carbon | 22:10 |
| RazzoRz | sorry | 22:10 |
| RazzoRz | MDS file | 22:10 |
| Rudd-O | ComPro: what command are you running? | 22:10 |
| ComPro | gdb fglrxinfo | 22:11 |
| ComPro | run | 22:11 |
| sauvin | .oO("MDS"?) | 22:11 |
| RazzoRz | Have you ever use 120?? | 22:11 |
| Rudd-O | that just means that fglrxinfo somehow for some reason cannot connect to your local display. | 22:11 |
| sauvin | Yes, but only on Windows. | 22:11 |
| Rudd-O | which is ODD | 22:11 |
| Bugson | anybody knows where I can found network monitor icons?? | 22:11 |
| Rudd-O | Bugson: /usr/share/pixmaps and /usr/share/icons | 22:11 |
| nfusco | Anyone here using the Broadcom 4306 (Rev 2) chipset for wireless? | 22:11 |
| Rudd-O | under icons there are a lot of subfolders with icons in different styles | 22:11 |
| Rudd-O | and I mean a LOT | 22:12 |
| Bugson | I was looking there but I couldn't find it | 22:12 |
| Rudd-O | you want an icon for a folder full of naked babes? There IS ONE. | 22:12 |
| Rudd-O | of course it's not a porn icon, it's a folder icon :-D | 22:12 |
| RazzoRz | that's odd | 22:12 |
| * sauvin would be more turned on by a folder full of pictures of naked motherboards | 22:12 | |
| Bugson | Rudd-0 I'm not speeking off network manager | 22:12 |
| Bugson | but network monitor | 22:13 |
| sauvin | Bugson, you're just looking for an ICON? A grahic? | 22:13 |
| sauvin | Graphic? | 22:13 |
| Bugson | yes | 22:13 |
| Bugson | I want to change them | 22:13 |
| sauvin | Bugson, have you tried Rudd-O's suggestion? | 22:13 |
| bitbit | Hi guys, I have a geforce 8600gt that isnt being detected, how do i fix this? | 22:13 |
| Bugson | yes I was looking there | 22:14 |
| sauvin | Bugson, if you don't see what you like, why don't you create one? | 22:14 |
| chester_martins_ | what is the best GUI for a pc with 128mb of RAM? | 22:14 |
| rsk | chester_martins_: e | 22:14 |
| Tikiman | ach! my computer died on me | 22:14 |
| JJtech | bitbit: enable restricted drivers | 22:14 |
| Bugson | sauvin but the program have some defaults, I just want to change them | 22:14 |
| Bugson | and I can't find the defaults one :/ | 22:15 |
| Centaur5 | How can I start postgresql as an unprivileged user id? | 22:15 |

| sauvin | Bugson, what, precisely, are you trying to edit? | 22:15 |
| chester_martins_ | Slart, don't exist a lighter ?? :p | 22:16 |

| chazco | Hi... Nautilus doesnt appear to follow redirects when using FTP... any ideas? | 22:16 |
| ciacon | hi all - I've just run through a guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto .... I rebooted and now I'm up the following step: "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec" which returns "cat: /proc/asound/card0/codec#*: No such file or directory"... I'm stuck - can anyone help? | 22:16 |
| JJtech | bitbit: yes | 22:16 |
| sauvin | Bugson, what desktop environment are you using? | 22:16 |
| Bugson | gnome | 22:16 |
| NetIds | hello all | 22:16 |
| Slart | chester_martins_: well.. I guess twm might be even lighter.. but you have to decide how far to go.. you could even go with the command line if you really wanter =) | 22:17 |
| bitbit | JJtech: it says "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers" | 22:17 |
| NetIds | how are get openftd on ubuntu 7.10 ? | 22:17 |
| RazzoRz | Rudd-o: do you know much about how the mic works in Virtualbox?... what do i need to add to the vmx file?? | 22:17 |
| JJtech | bitbit: aren't you in gutsy? | 22:17 |
| sauvin | Bugson, I'm running KDE, so your mileage may vary. When I want to change an icon in a menu item or on the desktop, I RIGHT CLICK on it to 'edit item'. | 22:17 |
| chester_martins_ | Slart, lol...so you think that XCFE it's fine? :) | 22:18 |
| sauvin | Bugson, there's an icon there to click on so you can change the icon that appears on the desktop or in the kicker menu. | 22:18 |
| bitbit | JJtech: gutsy = 7.10? yes | 22:18 |
| Bugson | sauvin but I'm talking about tray icon | 22:18 |
| eric | I have some mpg videos that don't play correctly. sometimes I only see the first few seconds and it freezes... other times I see the first frame and it freezes | 22:18 |
| eric | what can I do to fix this? | 22:18 |
| jack-desktop | I restarted my computer and started getting these errors (http://rafb.net/p/NO3VdG25.html) and now I have to run in failsafe and I can't get compiz fusion to work in gutsy. | 22:19 |
| sauvin | Bugson, tray icons can also be edited. Click around. | 22:19 |
| chester_martins_ | yes bitbit | 22:19 |
| Slart | chester_martins_: I use xfce on my server at home.. it's ok | 22:19 |
| JJtech | bitbit: we have same nividia graphics card bitbit, i don't see why it is not being detected.. | 22:19 |
| dxdt | eric: probably the wrong codecs or something like that. Do you have the gstreamer good, bad, and ugly installed? They may help. | 22:19 |
| RazzoRz | anyone know much about innotek virturalbox?... | 22:19 |
| chester_martins_ | thanks Slart | 22:19 |
| Bugson | sauvin I think they can't in gnome :/ | 22:20 |
| dxdt | If you want to run Windows XP in Ubuntu, and you have a winxp cd, is there a way to do this for free or is this something where I need to buy additional software like VMware? | 22:20 |
| eric | dxdt, no, not that I know of | 22:20 |
| sauvin | Bugson, I seriously doubt that, but you may have better luck asking in #gnome or some similar channel; I'm not going to log out and back in to research this. | 22:20 |
| bitbit | JJtech: when I restart my comp the screen is black, even before ubuntu loads | 22:20 |
| Bugson | ok thanks a lot | 22:21 |
| dxdt | eric: I would check out those in synaptic and install them. It may help a lot. | 22:21 |
| RazzoRz | dxdt: use innotek virtualbox in add n remove ... you will see it tehre | 22:21 |
| RazzoRz | there** | 22:21 |
| stefg | !virtualizers | dxdt | 22:21 |
| ubotu | dxdt: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 22:21 |
| jack-desktop | I restarted my computer and started getting these errors (http://rafb.net/p/NO3VdG25.html) and now I have to run in failsafe and I can't get compiz fusion to work in gutsy. | 22:21 |
| Personne | xxx | 22:21 |
| RazzoRz | more stable then vmware | 22:21 |
| Slart | dxdt: I don't think you can use windows xp to run games inside ubuntu... but qemu works for standard windows apps | 22:21 |
| cvd_ | where the hell can i download more compiz plugins? | 22:21 |
| dxdt | Virtualbox, eh. | 22:21 |
| RazzoRz | Yeah | 22:21 |
| eric | dxdt, ah, apparently they are installed | 22:21 |
| neutrale | domanda: per emulare un programma windows importante come flash e dreamweawer cosa mi consigliate? | 22:21 |
| dxdt | Oh yeah I'm not looking to run games, I'm actually looking to run Netflix's Watch Now service which is not only windows only, but IE only. :( | 22:21 |
| Slart | cvd_: you can check the damn repos =) | 22:21 |
| eric | dxdt, could I convert the video perhaps? | 22:22 |
| Slart | !info compiz-plugins-extra | 22:22 |
| ubotu | Package compiz-plugins-extra does not exist in gutsy | 22:22 |

| bitbit | JJtech: when I restart my comp the screen is black, even before ubuntu loads ( < last message) | 22:24 |
| dxdt | How is Xen different than VirtualBox? | 22:24 |
| broco | and everything works fine until it jumps back to none | 22:24 |
| Slart | ciacon: I think you're supposed to change the # to a number.. 1, 2, 3 etc | 22:24 |
| broco | this happens sometimes when i close windows and not EVERYTIME | 22:24 |
| mico | can anyone point me the direction to configure both server and client ldap ? (I have already follow some toturials that I found on the net, but didn't work ) | 22:24 |

| Cpudan80 | Hello all | 22:25 |
| Cpudan80 | How do you sync an iPod with Rythmbox? | 22:25 |
| saftsack | hi, do you get pidgin lockups too? | 22:25 |
| Slart | ciacon: oh... so alsa doesn't detect your soundcard.. that's a problem.. what kind of soundcard do you have? | 22:25 |
| eric | dxdt, then what tools could I use to convert the video? | 22:25 |
| Cpudan80 | The iPod was previously synced with Windows | 22:26 |
| saftsack | i heard that pidgin 2.2.1 doesnt run very well ... does somebody have the same experiences? | 22:26 |
| dxdt | eric: mencoder? I dunno. YOu'll have to google and such or ask others in the room. | 22:26 |
| joeb3_ | Cpudan80, just plug it in. You won't see the windows stuff though. | 22:26 |
| bitbit | JJtech: any idea? | 22:26 |
| ciacon | can't tell you 100% sure - I have a Intel® Desktop Board D975XBX --> http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d975xbx/sb/CS-022036.htm | 22:26 |

| bitbit | JJtech: not sure... how do i check? | 22:28 |
| eric | how do I get my bottom panel back?? | 22:28 |
| Deus101 | Important question | 22:28 |
| Cpudan80 | eric: Right click the top panel, hit add panel | 22:28 |
| saftsack | Slart, ok thanks :) | 22:28 |
| Cpudan80 | or new panel | 22:28 |

| Deus101 | my home is on those partitions | 22:29 |
| eric | omfg | 22:29 |
| Slart | ciacon: looks like a general on board audio thingy.. those usually work... no errors in dmesg? "dmesg | grep -i error" or something | 22:29 |
| eric | HELP | 22:29 |
| Cpudan80 | eric: So add stuff to it!! | 22:29 |
| eric | Cpudan80, I don't know what stuff was on it!! | 22:29 |

| Cpudan80 | oh dear god | 22:29 |
| sauvin | eric, so add stuff you WANT to it! | 22:29 |
| Slart | ciacon: perhaps a "dmesg | grep -i audio" might print some info too | 22:29 |
| B-rabbit | eric: right click on the top pannel and add pannel | 22:29 |
| Deus101 | but lvm isnt opened yet, it hasent been enabled on the live dvd so my question is, how can i enable the lvm partitions for my new installation? | 22:29 |
| Ogre2020 | how do I navigate to my cd-rom non-gui i can get to the directery but not to My Disk | 22:29 |
| Cpudan80 | eric: The trash can applet, the search applet, window switcher, show desktop and window selector I think | 22:30 |
| JJtech | bitbit: i assume that you r PC based systemm.. in that case, once PC restarted (booting) press either F2, F11 or del key... | 22:30 |
| MagicMushroom | Where do I put my 'xmodmap.dvp' and how do I give it a "code" such as us, se, uk..? (for xorg.conf) | 22:30 |

| Ogre2020 | the name the gui file browser gives for the cds location /media/My Disk | 22:31 |
| Arnald | is gutsy supposed to be able to resize ntfs partitions during install? that's on XP BTW | 22:31 |

| gan|y|med | i am compiling my own kernel. however, it cannot find root. fs support and ata driver are compiled in. i suppose, it is the fact that the old ata driver is used and therefore /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda. does anybody know how to make /dev/sda the default? | 22:34 |

| Tidus | eric, it's terrible, i know | 22:37 |
| chester_martins | how can amarok organize my music folder auto?? | 22:37 |
| sam_ | Hey can someone help me | 22:37 |
| Ogre2020 | hey, how dose one access a cdrom | 22:37 |
| eric | Tidus, all I want to do is convert an mpg to say, a mov... anything else | 22:37 |
| Al2O3 | anyone know of where I can get the gPC Everex computer in a formfactor that is a lot smaller than http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7754614 | 22:37 |
| eric | Tidus, my problem is that my mpg are not playing correctly | 22:37 |
| mpeters | Bruno1: Look for sshd in the last column of the output | 22:37 |
| Tidus | is it mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 ? | 22:37 |
| Al2O3 | the http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7754614 comes with gOS, or a versionized Ubuntu. | 22:37 |
| eric | Tidus, how do I tell? | 22:38 |
| d1n0 | im having problems with my two logitech bluetooth units, works fine in xubuntu, but only one of them works in ubuntu, and when both connected its the dinovo edge working... but this is not a problem in xubuntu! anyone have any ideas? | 22:38 |
| Bruno1 | mpeters: nope, there is no sshd anywhere | 22:38 |
| chester_martins | how can amarok organize my music folder auto?? | 22:38 |
| sam_ | everytime i open synaptic or update manager i get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 22:38 |
| sam_ | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 22:38 |
| Tidus | eric, try playing the file through mplayer on the terminal and watch the flood of text that goes by | 22:38 |
| desertc | For $200 you can purchase a PC from Walmart with hardware that is all supported by the Linux kernel, so you can load any Linux-based operating system onto it. http://www.everex.com/products/gpc/gpc.htm Can buy them customized online at http://www.zareason.com/shop/home.php | 22:38 |
| mpeters | Bruno1: then you need to start sshd /etc/init.d/sshd start | 22:38 |
| Bugson | maybe someone now where is the folder with network monitor tray icons? | 22:38 |
| mpeters | Bruno1: but you'll possibly need to install it first | 22:38 |
| Radi01 | sam: run it/it fixes it | 22:38 |
| Slart | ciacon: wow.. that's a lot of errors about the soundcard.. something's not right here.. have you tried googling those errors? | 22:39 |
| sam_ | run it? | 22:39 |
| chester_martins | how can amarok organize my music folder auto?? | 22:39 |
| In_Silico | whew | 22:39 |
| In_Silico | howdy all | 22:39 |
| desertc | Isn't your time worth more than $200 when you bang your head against you keyboard trying to get your computer or your friends' computers working, which were not designed for the Linux Kernel? | 22:39 |
| Radi01 | and hit (y) and it will fix the problem | 22:39 |
| Bruno1 | mpeters: ok. When writing the command, do i type friendsusername@his-ip or @his-computer's-name | 22:39 |
| eric | Tidus, mpeg-1 | 22:39 |
| ciacon | Slart: not yet - I have never tried | 22:39 |
| free1 | Is it possible for my modprobe.conf file to be missing? | 22:39 |
| free1 | as in deleted somehow? | 22:39 |
| JJtech | bitbit: im back | 22:39 |
| dkulchenko | sam_: go to a terminal and type dpkg --configure -a | 22:39 |
| sam_ | i did | 22:40 |
| Tidus | eric, it should work just fine... | 22:40 |
| Radi01 | dpkg --configure -a run that and hit (y) when it asks sam | 22:40 |
| ciacon | Slart: another idea - I assume that I could just "simply have my old sound back" | 22:40 |
| sam_ | it says i need like super something power | 22:40 |
| Tidus | but .mov is quicktime | 22:40 |
| chester_martins | how can amarok organize my music folder auto?? | 22:40 |
| towlie | have any of you installed the autumn theme in ubuntu | 22:40 |
| Tidus | .mpg works great in linux, but .mov is going to require openquicktime | 22:40 |
| mpeters | Bruno1: his-ip will always work, name will only work if you have DNS set up or an entry in your /etc/hosts file | 22:40 |
| eric | Tidus, mplayer said it could not open some sort of out device | 22:40 |
| Slart | ciacon: your "old sound"? what was your "old sound"? | 22:40 |
| Tidus | eric, video or sound? | 22:40 |
| eric | Tidus, and totem freezes after a few seconds in the video | 22:40 |
| * sauvin tunes back in | 22:40 | |
| free1 | I go into /etc and I do not see the modprobe.conf file | 22:40 |
| sauvin | eric, what device? | 22:40 |
| eric | Tidus, video | 22:40 |
| chester_martins | how can amarok organize my music folder auto?? | 22:41 |
| Tidus | O.o ... ? | 22:41 |
| desertc | Al2O3: You can find configuration options in the links I provided above. | 22:41 |
| bitbit | JJtech: BIOS gives the pci-e (geforce there) priority over the internal mb plug, i checked | 22:41 |
| bitbit | JJtech: and my mb is msi 945gcm5 | 22:41 |
| sam_ | it sys ¨ dpkg --configure -a¨ | 22:41 |
| Tidus | mplayer -vo x11 <file> ... try that | 22:41 |
| eric | sauvin, the video out device... that is all it says | 22:41 |
| Bruno1 | mpeters: ok, if we both have sshd running it should work right? or is there anything else we have to do first? | 22:41 |
| sam_ | oops | 22:41 |
| Radi01 | clear the terminal and put that in sam | 22:41 |
| towlie | have any of you installed the autumn theme in ubuntu | 22:41 |
| ciacon | Slart: that was the sound that I could at least partly hear, before I went through this tutorial off the ubuntu help pages .... --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto one of the guys in this chan was as nice as to let ubot let me know this link ;-) | 22:41 |
| sam_ | sorry it say: requested operation requires superuser privilege | 22:41 |
| eric | Tidus, hey, it played fine :D | 22:41 |
| sauvin | eric, do an mplayer -vo help to see a list of video out options. | 22:42 |
| Tidus | lol np | 22:42 |
| Al2O3 | desertc: do you know of a package/case solution that has a small footprint that is same price. The size of a standard desktop anchor is not apealing. | 22:42 |
| Tidus | sauvin, already got him runnin :P | 22:42 |
| Radi01 | it is broken then try your password | 22:42 |
| dkulchenko | saM_: do the same thing but type sudo dpkg --configure -a | 22:42 |
| sauvin | Oh, in that case, never mind :D | 22:42 |
| Ogre2020 | how do i view the contents of a cd-rom via the comand prompt /media | 22:42 |
| desertc | Al2O3: You can find configuration options in the links I provided. | 22:42 |
| JJtech | bitbit: no problem about ur pci-e ... when inside BIOS press F9 to set setting to default | 22:42 |
| ciacon | Slart: I got as far as the "reboot" mentioned - after that all was downhill.... | 22:42 |
| sam_ | ahh thanks! =] | 22:42 |
| Al2O3 | desertc: customize :) | 22:42 |
| Slart | ciacon: but that page is kind of old.. they ought to have fixed this by now.. | 22:42 |
| sauvin | Ogre2020, what's in /media? | 22:42 |
| Radi01 | k | 22:42 |
| nicolah | is there a software that let me stream audio over the internet and control it (the software) from remote ? | 22:42 |
| mpeters | Bruno1: only the remote machine needs sshd, provided firewall rules (if you have one between the machines) allow the connection on port 22, that should be all you need | 22:42 |
| ciacon | Slart: sh1t | 22:43 |
| free1 | is it possible for the modprobe.conf to have been replaced by another file? | 22:43 |
| Radi01 | now hit (y) and let it do its thing. | 22:43 |
| free1 | I see modprobe.d | 22:43 |
| Slart | ciacon: hang on.. let me read that page through.. see if it really is that old | 22:43 |
| atlfalcons866 | WHats the difference bewteen dvd and cd version of ubuntu | 22:43 |
| Bruno1 | mpeters: ok, thanks for your help | 22:43 |
| ciacon | Slart: thx | 22:43 |
| Tidus | atlfalcons866, the dvd contains more packages. | 22:43 |
| chester_martins | how can amarok organize my music folder auto?? | 22:43 |
| towlie | do you guys have a menu named Advanced Desktop Effects Settings under System>Preferences ? | 22:43 |
| mpeters | Bruno1: no problem | 22:43 |
| Al2O3 | desertc: don't see an option for case configuration/optiosn | 22:43 |
| sauvin | free1, iirc, modprobe.d is the directory you want to go into if you need to tinker with modprobe stuff. | 22:43 |
| andi5 | Tidus: how does that to relate to repository inclusion? | 22:43 |
| bitbit | JJtech: k sec | 22:43 |
| Ogre2020 | tis were the gui file browser says my cd-rom is /media/My Disk | 22:43 |
| Al2O3 | net, memory, monitor, literature, quantity, not much else. | 22:44 |
| sauvin | Ogre2020, try cd /media/My\ Disk | 22:44 |
| Ogre2020 | ok, one sec | 22:44 |
| sauvin | (@#$@%#@#%@#% people who put spaces in names!) | 22:44 |
| Tidus | andi5, it doesn't. the same packages are available on both versions. just the cd version will have to go out to the net for more packages. | 22:44 |
| towlie | do you guys have a menu named Advanced Desktop Effects Settings under System>Preferences ? | 22:44 |
| desertc | Al2O3: http://www.zareason.com/shop/home.php There are a dozen options there. | 22:44 |
| free1 | sauvin: so modprobe.conf is no longer in service? | 22:44 |
| chester_martins | how can amarok organize my music folder auto?? | 22:44 |
| andi5 | Tidus: ok... (i have never tried the dvd) | 22:44 |
| dkulchenko | chester_martins: stop | 22:45 |
| sauvin | free1, I'm on debian right now and don't seem to have a modprobe.conf. | 22:45 |
| Ogre2020 | it says no such file or directory | 22:45 |
| JJtech | !DVD | 22:45 |
| ubotu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 22:45 |
| chester_martins | ok | 22:45 |
| Al2O3 | actually I see 11, and only one is the gOS system, and clicking on customize of that system provides only 4 options non of which are case options. | 22:45 |
| chester_martins | sorry | 22:45 |
| sauvin | Ogre2020, try this: cd /media | 22:45 |
| free1 | sauvin: I'm on gutsy, but I'm sure of it that fiesty had a modprobe.conf | 22:46 |
| Ogre2020 | im their now | 22:46 |
| sauvin | Ogre2020, Then try this: cd My<TAB><ENTER> | 22:46 |
| Ogre2020 | ok | 22:46 |
| andi5 | modprobe.conf sounds linux2.4'ish to me, but well... | 22:46 |
| desertc | Al2O3: They will load whatever OS you want on there. | 22:46 |
| Al2O3 | Its kinda a neat idea, to promote and help liux that way, but folks need to package into media center boxes not home under-desk PC configurations. The idea of an empty box is silly. | 22:46 |
| Ogre2020 | no suhc file or directory | 22:46 |
| Al2O3 | desertc: I think you are missing my point bro, I'm looking for the gOS system in a smaller footprint/box. | 22:46 |
| nicolah | is there a way to remote-control a streaming server ? | 22:46 |
| Al2O3 | not some other OS on it. | 22:47 |
| sauvin | My ubuntu partition also has no modprobe.conf. | 22:47 |
| desertc | Al2O3: They will load the gOS on the smaller form factor. | 22:47 |
| Nedt__ | Hello, is this a place ( and maybe a time ) to get help on issue with Ubuntu+dvb tv card ? | 22:47 |

| NIMBY | Hi, has only started using linux 2 days ago, and have been following lots of guides on how to get my Hauppauge dvr-1110 dvb card to work but can only get an analog picture and no sound, could anyone help ? | 22:49 |
| JJHathoway | I recently got a 22 inch monitor and tried to edit the available resolutions, but the native 1680x1050 resolution still wont appear (I used dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to try this but it did not work) any suggestions? | 22:49 |
| Ogre2020 | not for doing dir checks, ill lok with ls real quick | 22:49 |
| ciacon | Slart: how can I revert that install?? | 22:49 |
| sauvin | Ogre2020, I don't understand. | 22:49 |
| Slart | ciacon: there are people reporting success by compiling alsa from source.. but that's not really recommended.. | 22:49 |
| gan|y|med | PriceChild: cause the default one is too slow. and i wanna use cfs | 22:49 |
| ikonia | NIMBY do you get sound on anything else other than TV's is that card fully supported ? | 22:49 |
| andi5 | JJHathoway: i suppose your graphics card supports that resolution? | 22:50 |
| Slart | ciacon: what have you done so far? done any "sudo make install" ? | 22:50 |
| NIMBY | sound eleswhere works fine | 22:50 |
| JJHathoway | yes...i am actually in windows right now in the native 1680x1050 resolution | 22:50 |
| ciacon | Slart: sadly =( | 22:50 |
| Ogre2020 | no, they look empty | 22:50 |

| ikonia | d1n0: what does bluetooth manager show ? | 22:52 |
| JJHathoway | andi5: no i havent, what does that tell me? (i am actually in the process of upgrading to 7.10 by downloading the new image because the regular upgrade failed every time for me, so i wont be able to check it) | 22:52 |
| ikonia | d1n0: do you get asked to pair ? | 22:52 |
| sauvin | Ogre2020, are you still in the terminal? | 22:52 |
| Ogre2020 | ahh, my lil window is gone | 22:52 |
| PriceChild | gan|y|med, and if you use a custom kernel, please don't get support here as it WILL cause unforseen problems we can't predict unless you know exactly what you're doing. | 22:52 |
| Ogre2020 | no | 22:52 |
| sauvin | Ogre2020, you need to find a regular terminal. | 22:53 |
| Ogre2020 | im at the gOS desktop | 22:53 |
| sauvin | (what's gOS?) | 22:53 |
| ikonia | Ogre2020: why are you trying to get GOS support ? | 22:53 |
| ToddEDM | i dont know if it shows up as a device no encryption and im using 7.10 kubuntu, it didnt work in ubuntu either | 22:53 |
| d1n0 | ikonia: i dont have ubuntu installed because of this, i had xubuntu before getting some new hardware, but i only had it because unbuntu couldnt handle my bluetooth devices together | 22:53 |
| NIMBY | tbh not sure on that point, I would like to get the dvb part sorted, so have been concentrating on that more than the sound | 22:53 |
| Tidus | gOS is essentially a google branded ubuntu | 22:53 |
| Ogre2020 | becase its built on ubuntu | 22:53 |
| d1n0 | but seriously, anyone who know what i can do, please msg, i cant pay attention to everything in here | 22:53 |
| ikonia | d1n0: then we cannot help if you can't trouble shoot | 22:53 |
| xcasex | Tidus: it has nothing at all to do with google | 22:53 |
| ikonia | Ogre2020: its not ubuntu thoiugh, this channel is for ubuntu support | 22:53 |
| sauvin | Um, I don't know a damn thing about a 'google-branded ubuntu' | 22:54 |
| andi5 | JJHathoway: it may list your supported modes, error messages and stuff like that... just start there :) you may also add your resolution into /etc/X11/xorg.conf directly if you know how | 22:54 |
| xcasex | i repeat, gOS has nothign at all to do with google. | 22:54 |
| Ogre2020 | and gOS suport says reinstall | 22:54 |
| Toma- | gOS doesnt even run gnome either | 22:54 |
| gan|y|med | PriceChild: see, if u cannot help me, fine. but don't exclude me cause sth is non-standard. i get this enough with another os | 22:54 |
| desertc | Ogre2020: The gOS computers have 24/7 telephone support. | 22:54 |
| ikonia | Orfeous: then follow gOS advice | 22:54 |
| sauvin | Toma-, what DOES it run? | 22:54 |

| Ogre2020 | they wont tell me how to work out of their gui, and its broke | 22:54 |
| ikonia | gan|y|med: if you use a custom kernel, this is not the best palce to get support | 22:54 |
| PriceChild | gan|y|med, I'm not excluding you. Please take into account what I have said. Making your own won't make things faster. Making your own will make things break. | 22:54 |

| ikonia | Cpudan80: ahhh sorry, miss-read, no | 22:55 |
| JJHathoway | andi5: Yeah i will try to manually edit once I get 7.10 installed, but isn't that essentially what dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does? (maybe the upgrade will magically fix it...) | 22:55 |
| jonaskoelker | question: I have two ogg files, song.ogg and guitar.ogg, that I want to mix together to one ogg files containing them both played simultaneously; how can I do this? | 22:55 |

| phaedra | sauvin, Enlightenment 17 | 22:55 |
| sauvin | Oh. | 22:55 |
| Tidus | PriceChild, actually... making my own kernel made some of my games run better. almost 10% fps increase due to me removing some scheduler latency | 22:55 |
| Slart | jonaskoelker: try audacity | 22:55 |
| Cpudan80 | ikonia: What I mean is, can you use Ubuntu to format an iPod | 22:55 |
| Slart | !info audacity | 22:55 |
| ubotu | audacity: A fast, cross-platform audio editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.3-1build1 (gutsy), package size 2321 kB, installed size 6832 kB | 22:55 |
| Cpudan80 | I have an iPod with a bunch of junk on it - want to get rid of it all | 22:55 |
| sauvin | PriceChild, rolling your own kernel does not necessarily break things BUT there are some caveats and some cautions. | 22:56 |
| D4rkB34n | soundray, r u there? | 22:56 |
| ikonia | Cpudan80: you can put a file system on it, but it may not work with itunes anymore | 22:56 |
| LjL | jonaskoelker: use any multitrack audio editor. Audacity is multitrack. | 22:56 |
| ikonia | sauvin: it breaks ubuntu controll and supportabtiliy | 22:56 |
| gan|y|med | you know how much time we are wasting by telling each other what we can't do | 22:56 |
| D4rkB34n | open office impress 2.3.0 hangs -> ubuntu 7.10; anyone can help..... | 22:56 |

| k9-Ubuntu | apt-get install courier-base courier-authdaemon courier-authmysql courier-imap courier-pop < have no way, could help me? | 22:56 |
| sauvin | One of the things I miss about ubuntu now that I'm running mostly debian is the fact that ubuntu supplies a low latency kernel in its repos. Debian doesn't. | 22:57 |
| gan|y|med | pls don't answer | 22:57 |
| ciacon | Slart: I'm back - I'll start a post mortum | 22:57 |
| rbs-tito | Is there a way to create a connection in network-manager (gnome, gutsy) with a static IP address? | 22:57 |
| desertc | Rolling your own kernel goes against the idea that Ubuntu will provide a simple solution that is easy to use and easy to support. There are other distros that cater more specifically to the "roll your own everything" ideal. | 22:57 |
| xst | Does anyone know when the latest ATI drivers (the ones released last night with support for kernel 2.6.23) will be available for the "restricted manager"? | 22:57 |
| Slart | ciacon: still no sound I guess =) | 22:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | D4rkB34n: Is that the latest from the Ubuntu Repos? | 22:57 |
| NIMBY | Nedt I've managed to find the firmware but after that I couldnt understand what was needed, as it refers to folders that ubuntu doesnt use and it doesnt say what to do, it talks about editing the modprobe.conf file but it doesnt say where its located etc | 22:57 |
| ikonia | gan|y|med: please don't ask | 22:57 |
| andi5 | rbs-tito: sure | 22:57 |
| D4rkB34n | yes | 22:57 |
| rbs-tito | andi5: How does one go about it? | 22:57 |
| Tidus | desertc, simple and easy != performance... | 22:57 |
| D4rkB34n | Jack_Sparrow, yes | 22:58 |

| rbs-tito | School has a wireless network, no encryption but my MAC address has been assigned to an IP, but there is no DHCP server | 22:58 |
| Nedt__ | NIMBY- yes i found the firmware too,,i have it in my post on ubuntu, outdated guide made things tricky :-) | 22:58 |
| ciacon | Slart: I am running Kubuntu | 22:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | D4rkB34n: Or was it from outside synaptic etc? | 22:58 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: how did you start sshd again? | 22:58 |
| gan|y|med | it was a ubuntu specific qu btw. it was about how ubuntu sets up /dev/sda instead of hda. but i guess u just read custom and then refused to read the rest- | 22:58 |
| desertc | Tidus: I won't argue with you that the Ubuntu OS isn't the fastest one. | 22:58 |
| PriceChild | rbs-tito, then ask the network administrator what ip/gateway etc, you should be using. | 22:58 |
| Tidus | yes, it 'just works' and it's a "good thing" but still the kernel leaves a lot to be desired. | 22:58 |
| mpeters | Bruno1: /etc/init.d/sshd start | 22:58 |
| Tidus | on every distro i always custom the kernel | 22:58 |
| Slart | ciacon: ok.. shouldn't make any difference I supposed.. both ubuntu and kubuntu use alsa I think | 22:59 |
| Patchak | newbie question : when I install a new program from download manager in ubuntu, where does it install? | 22:59 |
| ciacon | Slart: sofar it tells me, that it can't open libraries in arts - is that a case of apt-get install arts-thingemagig?? | 22:59 |
| rbs-tito | PriceChild: I will get the settings, I just don't know how to do it in network manager | 22:59 |
| PriceChild | Patchak, different bits go in different places | 22:59 |
| desertc | Tidus: Ubuntu isn't like every other distro. Thankfully. | 22:59 |
| D4rkB34n | Jack_Sparrow: was from synaptic, i upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 today and openoffice doesn't work | 22:59 |
| jonaskoelker | ok, thanks to all of you who suggested audacity -- I will try it out :) | 22:59 |

| Patchak | PriceChild, hummm ok... how can I find where the executable is? | 22:59 |
| Tidus | i know. it's closer to debian testing than anything else. | 22:59 |
| Slart | ciacon: don't know, haven't used arts before.. but it sounds like a reasonable solution | 22:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | D4rkB34n: thanks... I dont have an answer. It answered a question I had earlier. | 22:59 |
| PriceChild | Patchak, what program is it? | 22:59 |
| andi5 | rbs-tito: ahh, i did not understand that you meant a wireless connection... i am not sure then | 22:59 |
| Tidus | but it dont matter what distro i use... slackware, suse, mandriva... i'll always roll my own kernel for latency reasons | 23:00 |

| Slart | Bugson: or try a "find /usr | grep -i icon" | 23:00 |

| doctormo | Anyone got a Blackberry phone | 23:03 |
| doctormo | ? | 23:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NewUserr: dual boot is fine.. it is a bit easier to have xp on first... especially, when it usually needs to be reinstalled more often | 23:03 |
| Bugson | sauvin, Slart, /usr/share/icons/Human/24x24/status thanks guys for help ;) | 23:04 |
| heddyfran | Good lord, this is a busy channel | 23:04 |
| NewUserr | Jack_Sparrow yes i know thats why i am asking but i try out dual boot thnx | 23:04 |
| Pelo | heddyfran, you should see it when it is realy hoping | 23:04 |
| heddyfran | Oh lordy! hehe | 23:04 |

| Slart | ciacon: looking... | 23:05 |
| sauvin | Some IRC clients can mask joins and parts. | 23:05 |
| heddyfran | Well I've just installed Ubuntu 7.10 over RH Version 9.0....I have a dual boot machine here | 23:05 |
| NIMBY | can I mask join/parts etc in xchat ? | 23:05 |
| Pelo | heddyfran, congradulations, welcome to the madhouse | 23:06 |
| ciacon | Slart: 13x downloaded... I hope someone can help out.. | 23:06 |
| sauvin | Nimby, maybe.... let me look. | 23:06 |
| doctormo | done | 23:06 |
| Panzerboy__ | hey | 23:06 |
| Patchak | PriceChild, weird, cause when I type whereis deluge-torrent itdoes not return anything | 23:06 |
| Panzerboy__ | anybody running hardy ? | 23:06 |
| Pelo | NIMBY, right click the channel tab , select hide join/part | 23:06 |
| doctormo | Now, I need folks who have a Blackberry to give me a hand | 23:06 |
| === NIMBY is now known as Nimby | ||
| PriceChild | !hardy | Panzerboy__ | 23:06 |
| ubotu | Panzerboy__: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 23:06 |
| Pelo | Panzerboy__, there is no hardy yet | 23:06 |
| heddyfran | Thank you Pelo, so far, it's a very nice install. :) | 23:06 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: it still says connection refused | 23:06 |
| josephe | sauvin: they just dont tell you | 23:06 |
| sauvin | Nimby, Settings->Advanced->Text Events | 23:07 |
| Slart | ciacon: well.. I'm just guessing now.. it's telling you a library is missing and then tells you to remove the library mentioned.. you would perhaps be better off asking someone that's using KDE | 23:07 |
| Panzerboy__ | okay, the reason i asked is that i wanted to see what kernel is hardy running at the moment | 23:07 |
| Gnea | !dmix | 23:07 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 23:07 |
| josephe | NIMBLY: look in config for "dont show joins/parts" | 23:07 |
| infinitycircuit | Panzerboy__, there is a thread in the forums from a couple of weeks ago about hardy and updating your sources | 23:07 |
| mpeters | Bruno_: does "sudo netstat -atnp show sshd" as running on the remote machine? | 23:07 |
| ciacon | Slart: am just about to post in the #kubuntu - you might like to join ;-) | 23:07 |
| Pelo | Panzerboy__, thre is no hardy atm, it's too soon | 23:07 |
| Panzerboy__ | i need 2.6.24 in gutsy and i'm too lazy to compile my own :P | 23:07 |
| infinitycircuit | Panzerboy__, just compile it. it's really simple | 23:07 |
| ikonia | Panzerboy__: why do you need it | 23:08 |
| Pelo | heddyfran, don'T do that again | 23:08 |
| Panzerboy__ | infinitycircuit: well, that's the problem, my shitty wireless usb stick doesn't work with the gutsy kernel | 23:08 |
| infinitycircuit | Panzerboy__, do you need to force enable hpet? | 23:08 |
| Nimby | this is the ubuntu version and it doesnt seem to have those options, just preferences | 23:08 |
| ikonia | Panzerboy__: there is no need for that language ! | 23:08 |
| Slart | ciacon: *shudder*... join kubuntu.. but those guys are crazy.. ;) | 23:08 |
| andi5 | ciacon: have you installed libasound2? | 23:08 |
| MasterShrek | Panzerboy__, then just compile it yourself, dont be lazy if it something you really want | 23:08 |
| sauvin | Nimby, are you running xchat-gnome? | 23:08 |
| ciacon | andi5: haven' | 23:08 |
| Panzerboy__ | ikonia: sorry, but it is s****y :) | 23:08 |
| ciacon | t | 23:08 |
| infinitycircuit | Panzerboy__, oh in that case just compile it yourself. i'm using 2.6.24-rc3-mm1 now and it's fine | 23:08 |
| Panzerboy__ | okay | 23:09 |
| somerville32 | Does WoW run on Ubuntu? | 23:09 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: how can i tell? i know he has sshd running | 23:09 |
| heddyfran | Sorry Pelo, just have not been on IRC in a while. I learnt IRC commands back in the early 90s | 23:09 |
| init | it's pretty easy to wine WoW on ubuntu | 23:09 |
| Slart | somerville32: as the people in #winehq or check the wine application database.. appdb.winehq.org or something like that | 23:09 |
| MasterShrek | !wow | somerville32 | 23:09 |
| andi5 | ciacon: it is probably easier to just install arts..., well | 23:09 |
| ubotu | somerville32: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 23:09 |
| mpeters | Bruno_: If you know sshd is running then it's most likely firewall that's stopping you | 23:09 |
| Pelo | heddyfran, this is a support channel, pinging msging etc ppl whitout asking is rude and disruptive , stick to the in channel stuff | 23:10 |
| Panzerboy__ | infinitycircuit: tim gardner has it compiled on his ppa :P | 23:10 |
| Nimby | sauvin yes, its xchat-gnome | 23:10 |

| === ibanez_ is now known as ibanez | ||
| ctp | hi folks. anyone here can explain me the difference between desktop and alternate installation cd? | 23:10 |
| * Pelo is getting grouchy in his old age | 23:10 | |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: how can i m,ake it so that the firewall doesnt block scp | 23:10 |
| sauvin | Nimby, you might be happier with regular xchat. Try sudo apt-get install xchat | 23:10 |
| Panzerboy__ | ctp: the alternate is not a live cd | 23:10 |
| amason | hi guys, i've broken my samba install accidentally by removing the /etc/samba dir, but neither sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba or dpkg-reconfigure seem to restore the directory and it's contents back to the default | 23:10 |
| MasterShrek | ctp, nothing really except the alternate uses a text installer and the desktop is a live cd with a gui installer | 23:11 |
| Panzerboy__ | ctp: and iirc it has only a text mode installer | 23:11 |
| === ibanez is now known as ibanez_ | ||
| mpeters | Bruno_: you need to open up TCP Port 22 | 23:11 |
| === ibanez_ is now known as ibanez | ||
| infinitycircuit | amason, what if you try apt-get remove --purge samba smbclient and then apt-get install samba smbclient | 23:11 |
| Pelo | ctp, desktop will let you try out the distro as if it was installed, alt cd only has a text based installer on it , generaly lightter on resources during the install | 23:11 |
| Nimby | thanks sauvin, I'm used to mirc so its all new to me :) will download the regular verion | 23:11 |
| Nimby | *version | 23:11 |
| MasterShrek | the end result of the install will be the same ctp | 23:11 |
| juano__ | amason: sudo dpkg -l | grep samba | 23:11 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: how do that? | 23:11 |
| andi5 | amason: go to /var/lib/dpkg/info and search the files for /etc/samba, then reinstall those packages | 23:11 |
| Panzerboy__ | Bruno_: it's better to change the port on which ssh is listening, than to open 22, IMHO | 23:11 |
| sauvin | I remember mirc. HATED the script language. | 23:11 |
| ctp | Panzerboy__ + MasterShrek: ok, so alternate is my choice ;-) | 23:11 |
| amason | infi\ | 23:12 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: ok so how do i do that, change the port? | 23:12 |
| Panzerboy__ | a lot of dictionary attacks on 22 | 23:12 |
| ibanez | woo | 23:12 |
| ibanez | got me nick | 23:12 |
| amason | infinitycircuit: juano__ andi5i will try that thanks | 23:12 |
| * sauvin ponders installing mirc under wine | 23:12 | |
| * Tidus thwaps sauvin. | 23:12 | |
| * Pelo thinks sauvin needs to take a vacation | 23:12 | |
| ctp | kubuntu and ubuntu only differ in kde vs gnome? i'm a kde user so i think kubuntu alternate cd is the right one for me | 23:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sauvin: Sad... so so sad | 23:12 |
| sauvin | hee hee | 23:13 |
| niere | hi | 23:13 |
| Pelo | ctp, sounds about right | 23:13 |
| MasterShrek | ctp, go for it, kde is better btw =) | 23:13 |
| niere | is anyone here using fusesmb with feisty or gutsy? | 23:13 |
| rbs-tito | andi5: Thanks for the link. It looks like I'll just have to switch backends three times per day!!] | 23:13 |
| ciacon | andi5, Slart: #kubuntu ist tellimt nort - andi5 - you thought apt-get arts is the thing to do?? | 23:13 |
| * Pelo thinks MasterShrek is gunning for a kick | 23:13 | |
| sauvin | Truthfully, I looked high, low, left, right and upside down for a decent IRC client for Windows. There don't seem to BE any such critter. XChat for Windows comes... close. | 23:13 |
| mpeters | Bruno_: In /etc/ssh/sshd_config, edit the line "Port 22" to the port you want and then restart sshd "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" | 23:13 |
| dahitokiri | how far behind is xubuntu from ubuntu in terms of development? | 23:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | agreed | 23:13 |
| Tidus | sauvin, you can use irssi on windows :P | 23:13 |
| world_citizen | can one scan a text page and convert it into text in ubuntu | 23:14 |
| andi5 | ciacon: if arts is missing, then "sudo apt-get install arts" should help, yes | 23:14 |
| sauvin | MasterShrek, the choice of desktop is a matter of personal choice. I use KDE but recognise that many folks vastly prefer gnome. | 23:14 |
| zeus21 | hi all | 23:14 |
| world_citizen | I can scan but cannot convert it to text | 23:14 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: to what port should i change it to? which one is allowed? | 23:14 |
| rbs-tito | dahitokiri: Big features seem to be one release behind. | 23:14 |
| mpeters | Bruno_: The firewall will still need to allow the port which you change ssh to listen on though. | 23:14 |
| Pelo | dahitokiri, it's not a qustion of being behind, xubuntu is made to use less resources, it runs xcfe instead of gnome | 23:14 |
| ctp | MasterShrek: definitely it is. i have to setup 16 boxes at one time. kubuntu installing via fai is my goal | 23:14 |
| andi5 | rbs-tito: i am sorry.... you might rather try to hack your configuration into /etc/network/interfaces | 23:14 |
| d1n0 | sauvin: why do you prefer KDE? | 23:14 |
| Panzerboy__ | Bruno_: anything above 1024 | 23:14 |
| Pelo | world_citizen, you need to instal OCR or whatever it is called, check in synaptic | 23:14 |
| sauvin | dln0, it's what I've used for years, starting way back in the RH days. | 23:14 |
| niere | i'm having trouble with fusesmb when i config it to use a username/password on a specific server | 23:15 |
| mpeters | Bruno_: and it's probably the firewall at your friends end which will need changing. | 23:15 |
| dahitokiri | Pelo, i understand that. but there are certain apps that ubuntu offers that xubuntu might not. i think it's just easier to install ubuntu and switch to xfce4 from there | 23:15 |
| rbs-tito | andi5: Not really worth it, I switch networks way to often. No need to be sorry, it is as much my fault as it is yours. I'm going to see if I can lend a hand to the network-manager guys | 23:15 |
| === NIMBY_ is now known as Nimby | ||
| niere | without that fusesmb works just fine (anonymously), but not with a username | 23:15 |
| Bruno_ | Panzerboy__: ok | 23:15 |
| Tidus | dahitokiri, the repos are the same | 23:15 |
| world_citizen | Pelo thank for that | 23:15 |
| sauvin | dln0, I like KDE for the way it "looks" and "feels", nothing more concrete than that. | 23:15 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: so i should tell him to change his sshd-config file too? | 23:15 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: to the same port as me? | 23:15 |
| dahitokiri | sauvin, familiar like windows, maybe? | 23:15 |
| world_citizen | But can you tell me the name of the OCR that would work in Ubuntu | 23:15 |
| dahitokiri | s/like/to/ | 23:15 |
| Pelo | dahitokiri, defaults apps are one thing but you can run all gnome /kde aps in xubuntu , it doesn'T realy matter, required libs will be installed to let you run them | 23:15 |
| sauvin | dahitokiri, I hated Windows. | 23:15 |
| Tidus | dahitokiri, all you have to do is enable universe and you have the same vast amount of software | 23:16 |
| dahitokiri | Pelo, Tidus alright, thanks | 23:16 |
| voraistos | Hey. I am using edubuntu from a thin client. (with the integrated ltsp support). It wouldnt work so i found out how to force a vga config from it. (something like xserver=vga in lts.conf). thing is, it kinda gets on my nerves. the graphics card is an sis550 (SoC) graphic family sis315, there are good drivers out there, i just wonder how to use them ? | 23:16 |
| Pelo | world_citizen, jsut do a search for OCR in synaptic, and the appropriate pacakges will be listed | 23:16 |
| ciacon | andi5: It already is installed... should I remove and install it - or is there another way? | 23:16 |
| troseph | Unable to get DVD to play. Could it just be the disc? Here is my log from VLC http://pastebin.com/f142f4c24 | 23:16 |
| D4rkB34n | hi there | 23:16 |
| D4rkB34n | any one can help.... | 23:16 |
| mpeters | Bruno_: whether you change the port or not, you'll still need to change the firewall. The actual port doesn't make much difference. | 23:16 |
| andi5 | ciacon: does the same hold for the library that your screenshot complained about (libasound2)? | 23:17 |
| Panzerboy__ | night guys | 23:17 |
| world_citizen | Pelo thank for this, but one or two more things | 23:17 |
| rbs-tito | andi5: I didn't know nm was a gnome project | 23:17 |
| voraistos | VLC doesnt read certain discs | 23:17 |
| Panzerboy__ | time to sleep :) | 23:17 |
| juano__ | is there any repository for audacious-skin package ? | 23:17 |
| juano__ | audacious-skinS that is | 23:17 |

| ciacon | andi5: libasound.so.2 | 23:17 |
| world_citizen | Also when an application jams the computer what to do? | 23:17 |
| voraistos | Pelo: that wouldnt work. All i want is to reconfigure the thin clients, not the actual xserver | 23:17 |
| D4rkB34n | i reinstall openoffice 2.3.0 on ubuntu 7.10 from synaptic, but i don't have the shortcuts at applications -> office | 23:17 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: panzerboy_ said anything above 1024 is allowed, so if i change it to 1025 it should work without changing the firewall right? | 23:18 |
| Panzerboy__ | Bruno_: you still need to allow incoming traffic to that port | 23:18 |
| john_priest | what would chmod 000 do to a file? | 23:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | world_citizen: select single screen saver not all at random.. it may just be a few that are a prob | 23:18 |
| Panzerboy__ | from the firewall | 23:18 |
| D4rkB34n | how can i refresh the menu bar? | 23:18 |
| rbs-tito | andi5: This is strange, the upstream bug is marked as resolved | 23:18 |
| john_priest | who would have permissions to that file | 23:18 |
| voraistos | troseph: stop it with the bot, VLC comes with libdvdcss hardcoded | 23:18 |
| mpeters | Bruno_: It's not nescessarily the case that above 1024 is allowed | 23:18 |
| D4rkB34n | i reinstall openoffice 2.3.0 on ubuntu 7.10 from synaptic, but i don't have the shortcuts at applications -> office, how can i refresh menu bar? | 23:18 |
| Pelo | world_citizen, for the screensaver try another one, or check that is isn'T monitor off that is enable and causing the trouble , for dejamming, alt+f2 type xkill , then click on the app with the mouse | 23:18 |
| ExalleR | is it possible to run Ubuntu and Windows simultaneusly? | 23:18 |
| rbs-tito | andi5: And the screenshots on the NM homepage have a "VPN connections" menu | 23:19 |
| Pelo | world_citizen, also use the name of the person you talk to in each line, it makes it easier to follow | 23:19 |
| rbs-tito | ExalleR: As in, at the same time or on the same machine | 23:19 |
| Nimby | I gave up on vlc in 7.10 it was so jumpy | 23:19 |

| andi5 | ciacon: have you checked libasound2? | 23:20 |
| octete | Pelo, thanks, That's what I was worried about | 23:20 |
| ciacon | andi5: apt-get that? | 23:20 |

| gaten | doctormo: well that explains it. meh, thanks | 23:20 |
| Nimby | core duo is 64bit | 23:21 |
| sauvin | troseph, I mean it might be copy protected. I DO have movie DVDs I can't watch without doing something underhanded because the manufacturers deliberately introduced bad sectors. | 23:21 |
| octete | yeah, core duo is 64 bit | 23:21 |
| Tidus | Nimby, no, the core 1 duos aren't | 23:21 |
| voraistos | then its all god | 23:21 |
| Do`` | could someone help with a crash? when i try running deluge (v0.5.6.96) it crashes instantly. the deluge dev guys said i should reinstall the python packages, because it's an ubuntu issue, but that didn't help :/ | 23:21 |
| Tidus | c2d is | 23:21 |
| voraistos | god* | 23:21 |
| voraistos | good* | 23:21 |
| voraistos | damn it! | 23:21 |
| Pelo | do | 23:21 |
| doctormo | gaten: It's because it's 32bit addresses thus 4GB, it's the same reason you can only have 4GB of ram in a 32bit machine (not accounting for paging) | 23:21 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: Panzerboy__: thanks | 23:21 |
| Pelo | Do``, try utorrent on wine or some other bittorrent client | 23:22 |
| _polto_ | hello all | 23:22 |
| ciacon | Slart - are you still with us? | 23:22 |
| Do`` | http://pastebin.com/m41cb4acb this is what deluge says when i start it | 23:22 |
| gaten | doctormo: yeah, i remember that now that you mention it. | 23:22 |
| Do`` | Pelo: i want deluge | 23:22 |
| Tidus | octete, core 1 duo isn't 64 bit. core 2 duo is | 23:22 |
| Slart | ciacon: still here.. anything new on the arts thingy? | 23:22 |
| troseph | sauvin: Ahh I think I'll just rip it to Mpeg an watch it that way. :) | 23:22 |
| doctormo | gaten: so even if you chop it up you couldn't put it back together on that file system anyway | 23:22 |
| andi5 | doctormo: you can have as much ram as you want in your 32bit machine, but i suppose at max 3gig of them will be addressable (pci-e bus and whatever...) | 23:22 |
| voraistos | if you cat /proc/cpu it might say something about it. | 23:22 |
| octete | Tidus, sorry, I forgot to put the "2" there, I have the Core 2 Duo, but thanks anyway, I am going to stick to i386 as I don't want any compatibility issues | 23:22 |
| gaten | doctormo: yeah looks like im going to copy it to a ntfs fs | 23:23 |
| sauvin | dln0, I'm answering in public because the answers may help somebody else. As far as I'm aware, the differences between ubuntu, xubuntu and kubuntu would be in the desktop level; the base ubuntu system would be the same. I wouldn't expect to see hardware issues to differ between these different ubuntu dialects. | 23:23 |
| doctormo | andi5: er no, 4GB is addressable, anything more requires CPU memory paging support. | 23:23 |
| niere | bye | 23:23 |
| Nimby | I was under the impression the 32bit cpu's couldnt see beyond 3gb | 23:23 |
| MasterShrek | octete, i run 64 bit with no problems | 23:23 |
| sauvin | troseph, yes, that's kind of what I meant by "underhanded". How do you rip to mpeg? | 23:23 |
| ciacon | andi5: I found an arts package... problem is, when I try to install it - it tells me that it is already installed... is "apt-get remove arts" and "apt-get install arts" the way? | 23:23 |
| octete | MasterShrek, what about flash and all that stuff? | 23:23 |
| andi5 | Nimby: ack... that is what i just said | 23:24 |
| doctormo | Nimby: that seems like a silly number, something to do with some machines specifically? | 23:24 |

| Nimby | it says that modprobe.conf in is in /etc/modprobe.conf but I cannot find it anywhere | 23:28 |
| rbs-tito | andi5: Sounds logical, but doesn't explain the steppings in Microsoft OS. | 23:28 |
| sauvin | troseph, you need to install something, forgot what it was, and navigate to /usr/share/something to run an sh to actually install libdvdcss. | 23:28 |
| Slart | ciacon: what's the worst that can happen.. no sound again? you're used to that =) | 23:28 |
| mpeters | Bruno_: in /etc/ssh/sshd_config - "PermitRootLogin no" | 23:28 |
| troseph | sauvin, I'm getting it from the Medibuntu repo, it "should" work. :) | 23:29 |
| andi5 | rbs-tito: oh, i think you can tweak even an XP system to make more mem accessible... but i do not use that a lot (only 2gb anyway) | 23:29 |
| Slart | linux88: sleep next to it.. use a shotgun =).. or encrypt the harddrives and keep the shotgun to keep them from kidnapping you | 23:29 |
| rbs-tito | andi5: Meh, not sure, I'm sure I read that they were artificial limits | 23:29 |
| * sauvin is also looking at acidrip | 23:29 | |
| rbs-tito | andi5: I'll let you know when I can afford 4gb of RAM | 23:30 |
| gregarei | linux88: No way. Put sensitive data on an encrypted fs | 23:30 |

| sauvin | What DVD do I have here that I was unable to play normally....? | 23:30 |
| D4rkB34n | DeviantSolution: how can i do it automatically? | 23:30 |
| linux88 | Slart haha good one. Thats true, but when you say encrypt the harddrive. Do you have to decrypt it everytime you want to access it. | 23:30 |
| RequinB4 | I read vista only takes 2GB RAM | 23:30 |
| D4rkB34n | DeviantSolution: i mean, fresh the menu automatically? | 23:30 |
| andi5 | to boot at all? | 23:30 |
| Pelo | sauvin, we won't tell you, you need to keep track of your stuff on your own | 23:30 |
| Nimby | vista is making me feel ill :) | 23:30 |
| rbs-tito | linux88: The hard drive is decrypted when it is mounted at boot. You need the key every time you boot | 23:30 |
| gregarei | linux88: You dont need to encrpyt whole HD. you can encrypt just folders with fuse, just requires passphrase to unlock | 23:31 |
| Nimby | thats why I'm here in the rabbit hole | 23:31 |
| Radi01 | vista is adjar. | 23:31 |
| sauvin | Pelo, if I get irritated enough, I'll POSTGRESQL it! | 23:31 |
| * troseph puts his sensitive data in /var/www | 23:31 | |
| rbs-tito | linux88: Ah, fuse, sorry | 23:31 |
| ciacon | Slart: It is crying for a reinstall =(( | 23:31 |
| Slart | linux88: well.. yes.. but you can have it just prompt you for a password when you log in.. and do the decrypting on the fly | 23:31 |

| gregarei | Encryptiing hd is a solution, it is A LOT of overhead | 23:31 |

| linux88 | rbs-tito i see. Ive used a program I downlaoded when i was on XP. Does it take something liek that for linux | 23:31 |

| Bruno_ | ok | 23:32 |
| ciacon | Slart: sure - the original sys also gave me sound... | 23:32 |

I have a disk with 4 partitions: 1 is for Windows, 1 is a backup partition I created a long time ago. 1 is one that I hope I can use for Ubuntu, and I want to have another backup partition. I'm formatting the Ubuntu partition in ext3 with mount point "/", and I want the new backup partition to be fat32. Do I need to put anything special for the mount point for the backup? | 23:33 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: anything else i can do to have more security? | 23:33 |
| nikin_ | hy | 23:33 |

| ubuntu_ | Slart: Alright :) The main thing is that I want this partition to be accessable in Windows, too. I assume fat32 will do that? | 23:34 |
| Slart | ubuntu_: yes | 23:34 |

| Slart | Nimby: yes.. mine beeps and pops up little things when I get messages | 23:36 |

| nikin_ | i have some problems with samba.. the loading of directory s and like... a right click on the file.. makes a teribble lagg i mean.. using fuesmb.. if i click right on a file.. it takes about 30 seconds to bring up the menu | 23:36 |
| Pelo | ubuntu_, 2xram | 23:36 |
| Slart | ubuntu_: my grand grand grand dad told me twice the physical memory.. but that might have changed since then =) | 23:36 |
| ubuntu_ | Is there any benefit to setting aside a larger amount? | 23:36 |
| rbs-tito | ubuntu_: It is the memory used when you run out of RAM | 23:37 |
| bebbi | ragazzi funziona | 23:37 |
| Pelo | ubuntu_, not unless you run a butload of apps at the same time | 23:37 |
| rbs-tito | ubuntu_: If you have lots of RAM you won't need much | 23:37 |
| mpeters | ubuntu_: twice physical ram up to a max of 1Gb is a decent rule of thumb | 23:37 |
| sauvin | I've been told that recent distros just use a swap file if it can't find a swap partition. | 23:37 |
| andi5 | but you need swap nonetheless, someone told me | 23:37 |
| rbs-tito | sauvin: Windows style? | 23:37 |
| Slart | ubuntu_: not really... up to 1G would be more than enough.. it will just get terribly slow if you need more swap | 23:37 |
| sauvin | rbs-tito, maybe. I don't know. | 23:38 |
| ciacon | Slart: I just thought of it - might be a brilliant idea to backup mysql ;-) | 23:38 |
| rbs-tito | sauvin: That would save a few people headaches, but a separate partition is better practise | 23:38 |
| Slart | ciacon: well.. the databases.. you don't need to backup the sql binaries.. =) | 23:38 |
| sauvin | rbs-tito, no argument on this end. | 23:38 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: i cant find the allow users part | 23:38 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: in fact i search for it in the file and its no there | 23:39 |
| ubuntu_ | Do I set my backup partition as "primary" or "logical"? | 23:39 |
| mpeters | Bruno_: it won't be there by default, you can just add the line | 23:39 |
| MichealPW | Hrmm | 23:39 |
| electrofreak | I have a huge list of package that apparently are no longer required... but reading through it... I believe many are required. It tells me to run apt-get autoremove, but I'd pretty much rather not do that. How do I go about fixing this? | 23:39 |
| ciacon | Slart: I hadn't guessed ;-) | 23:39 |

| kane77 | argh.. why does my desktop doesn't hibernate? the disk works for a while and then the display comes back on... it hibernated ok yesterday... | 23:40 |
| Slart | ubuntu_: primary partitions are single partitions, you can only have 4 per drive I think.. logical partitions can have more partitions inside so you can have more than 4 partitions | 23:41 |

| ubotu | MichealPW: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:43 |
| Gnea | ExalleR: Places->Computer | 23:43 |
| MasterWitt | How do I take the password off from when I come back from suspend mode? | 23:43 |
| MichealPW | Gnea: In order for sudo to work, your user must have the Administration permissions correct? | 23:43 |
| kane77 | rbs-tito, yeah.. i haven | 23:43 |
| Nimby | andi5 there is a file in there called options, could I added the required lines to that ? | 23:43 |
| Slart | MichealPW: nope.. read the links ubotu told you | 23:44 |
| andi5 | Nimby: you might, but you can also create an own file (eases upgrades) | 23:44 |
| macksting | Hiya. Trying to get Ubuntu 7.04 to work with my Nvidia card so's I can use OpenGL effectively. I'm being told to grab nvidia-glx from the package manager. On the offchance that something disagrees with my system, is there a way to back up my current configuration so's I can restore it? | 23:44 |
| kane77 | rbs-tito, yeah.. i haven't managed to make it work on laptop though... (wher it would be very useful) | 23:44 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, what problem ? | 23:44 |
| Gnea | MichealPW: no, they just need to be allowed to use it, which it is by default. check the link that ubotu gave ya | 23:44 |
| MichealPW | Alright then. | 23:44 |
| Slart | MichealPW: you write in your user password when sudo asks you | 23:44 |
| macksting | Note, actually, a way to back it up without a CD writing device? | 23:44 |
| Nimby | andi5 and just called it local ? | 23:44 |
| digitalsky | I put an NTFS drive and mounted it in ubuntu, and i use samba to share it so I can access it from my XP boxes. But after a few days when I turn on my XP, it would say fail to connect to the shared drive. I would then restart ubuntu and the sharing is good again. | 23:44 |
| MasterWitt | Anybody? | 23:44 |
| andi5 | Nimby: yep, but any other name is ok as well | 23:44 |
| ToddEDM | anyone know of some firmware i need to get a linksys WMP54g Wifi card working?.... | 23:44 |
| MichealPW | Gnea: Would allowing users access to sudo be a risk?:/ | 23:44 |
| Pelo | !backup | macksting | 23:44 |
| ubotu | macksting: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 23:44 |
| Nimby | thanks andi5 | 23:44 |
| Pelo | MasterWitt, anybody what ? | 23:45 |
| Slart | digitalsky: you could try just restarting samba, "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" | 23:45 |
| drmikecrowe | hey folks, I need somehelp. Trying to install (and giving up) gforge. I now need to re-install postgresql 8.2. However, installing isn't creating /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2 | 23:45 |
| electrofreak | I have a huge list of packages that apparently are no longer required... but reading through it... I believe many are required. It tells me to run apt-get autoremove, but I'd pretty much rather not do that. How do I go about fixing this? | 23:45 |
| Gnea | !ntfs-g3 | digitalsky | 23:45 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-g3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:45 |
| Slart | digitalsky: at least saves you a reboot | 23:45 |
| digitalsky | Slart: ok... but is that a known problem? | 23:45 |
| Gnea | !ntfs-3g | digitalsky | 23:45 |
| ubotu | digitalsky: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 23:45 |
| joeb3_ | MasterWitt, preferences-screensaver. untick the lock option. | 23:45 |
| digitalsky | yes that's what i use ubotu. | 23:45 |
| MasterWitt | joeb3: hmmmm lemme check that | 23:45 |
| Gnea | MichealPW: yes, so read the link | 23:45 |
| Pelo | !ubotu | digitalsky | 23:45 |

| picard_pwns_kirk | Pelo: botsnack | 23:46 |
| * Pelo is a miserable failure | 23:46 | |
| digitalsky | hmm then it's weird.... my ubuntu is on 24/7, and i turn off my XP everynight. and only 1 PC shares that drive | 23:46 |
| Gnea | digitalsky: try restarting samba - /etc/init.d/samba restart | 23:46 |
| ToddEDM | anyone know of some firmware i need to get a linksys WMP54g Wifi card working?.... | 23:46 |
| tyronepolleri | hi how can I refresh the wine Start Menu? because I have uninstalled some aplications but they still apear in the wine star menu | 23:46 |
| Pelo | !wifi | ToddEDM | 23:46 |
| ubotu | ToddEDM: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:46 |
| rbs-tito | ToddEDM: Depends what chip is in it | 23:46 |
| MasterWitt | joeb3: It is unchecked. But it still prompts me for a password when I come back from suspend mode | 23:46 |
| digitalsky | yea i'm sure that would probably work, but then I want to find out what is wrong that it would stop working all of a sudden | 23:47 |
| MichealPW | Gnea: Thank you, I'll read it. | 23:47 |
| sauvin | digitalsky, whta's up, again, please? | 23:47 |
| Pelo | ToddEDM, also check in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 23:47 |
| Gnea | ToddEDM: i do believe that it's a broadcom chipset, you'd need the right driver for it | 23:47 |
| electrofreak | I have a huge list of packages that apparently are no longer required... but reading through it... I believe many are required. It tells me to run apt-get autoremove, but I'd pretty much rather not do that. How do I go about fixing this? | 23:47 |
| digitalsky | sauvin: I put an NTFS drive and mounted it in ubuntu, and i use samba to share it so I can access it from my XP boxes. But after a few days when I turn on my XP, it would say fail to connect to the shared drive. I would then restart ubuntu and the sharing is good again. | 23:47 |
| Slart | tyronepolleri: the wine start menu works a little now and then.. all of a sudden you get a bunch of new programs.. then nothing until 2 versions later.. | 23:47 |
| rbs-tito | electrofreak: What makes you think they are rquired? | 23:47 |
| Slart | tyronepolleri: be happy when it works.. but don't expect it to work all the time =) | 23:47 |
| Gnea | digitalsky: TRY RESTARTING SAMBA INSTEAD OF RESTARTING | 23:47 |
| Pelo | electrofreak, what makes you think they are still needed | 23:47 |
| scragar | anyone got a recommendation on guides for bridging an Internet connection? | 23:47 |
| tyronepolleri | Slart: so the aplications will be there allways? | 23:47 |
| digitalsky | Gnea: yes yes. thanks for the suggestion of a solution. | 23:48 |
| Slart | digitalsky: check the logs.. samba and system logs.. there might be a reason there | 23:48 |
| digitalsky | I do, however, wnat to know the cause of the problem. | 23:48 |
| lapisdecor | I do force reload of all items on ubuntu panel? | 23:48 |
| digitalsky | ok Slart | 23:48 |
| electrofreak | rbs-tito, they are mostly gnome related... which I'd like to have installed | 23:48 |
| andi5 | scragar: you mean vpn? | 23:48 |
| Pelo | scragar, what do you mean by bridging ?, sharing one computer's connection with another ? | 23:48 |
| Slart | tyronepolleri: yes.. the applications can always be run from the command line.. it's just the menu that's a bit moody | 23:48 |
| sauvin | Still... why is samba doing that? | 23:48 |
| rbs-tito | electrofreak: They are probably just pointless dependencies | 23:48 |
| Gnea | digitalsky: you might want to check your samba options - do you have SWAT installed? | 23:48 |
| scragar | Pelo: that's what I want to do | 23:48 |
| INTU | i have a dual boot... how do i format C from bios? | 23:48 |
| INTU | format the c drive | 23:48 |
| tyronepolleri | Slart: Can I deactivate it? | 23:48 |
| Gnea | INTU: you don't | 23:48 |
| INTU | i need to reinstall XP | 23:48 |
| digitalsky | can you remind me what SWAT is again? | 23:49 |
| digitalsky | (probably not?) | 23:49 |
| Gnea | !swat | 23:49 |
| ubotu | 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 | 23:49 |
| Slart | tyronepolleri: I don't know.. I've never looked into it.. there might be a switch somewhere in regedit | 23:49 |
| Pelo | scragar, I know there are some guides on this, you'll probably need to use samba to do i it but that is all I know | 23:49 |
| INTU | i don't wanna just write over it, i want to format | 23:49 |
| Pelo | later folks | 23:49 |
| dfcarney | INTU: let the installer format it for you. Be careful -- it'll overwrite your boot partition and linux will "disappear" | 23:49 |
| rbs-tito | INTU: I've never seen a BIOS that can format drives. You should use the Windows or Ubuntu live cd to do it | 23:49 |
| Gnea | INTU: fat32 or ntfs? | 23:49 |
| digitalsky | ok Gnea: reading | 23:49 |
| INTU | windows is on ntfs | 23:49 |
| dfcarney | INTU: do you want to re-install, or just blow it away? | 23:49 |
| andi5 | scragar: is openvpn for you? i do not really understand your plan :) | 23:49 |
| tyronepolleri | Does anyone know hot to deactivated the wine Start Menu? | 23:50 |
| INTU | i want to format C, then install XP again on it | 23:50 |
| Nimby | so am I right in believing that instead of one modprobe.conf there is now a folder called modprobe.d with multiple config files in ? | 23:50 |
| Gnea | INTU: then you need to do it with a windows cd | 23:50 |
| andi5 | yeap | 23:50 |
| scragar | I have 2 boxes, and 1 net connection, I just want to split it between the two. | 23:50 |
| INTU | should i delete the C partition, then install on unused space? | 23:50 |
| rbs-tito | scragar: Internet Connection Sharing is what you need | 23:50 |
| dfcarney | INTU: like Gnea said, with the windows CD. Make sure you have a linux boot disk handy too | 23:50 |
| INTU | or should i just overwrite the C | 23:50 |
| Slart | tyronepolleri: perhaps that question is better asked in #winehq they are the wine specialists after all | 23:50 |
| rbs-tito | !ics | scragar | 23:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ics - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:51 |
| Mozul | anyone want to private message me? I have a need to set a lot of files from read only to read/write | 23:51 |
| Frogzoo | Nimby: yes, but modprobe.conf is still read | 23:51 |
| Gnea | INTU: reinstallation requires rewriting the C | 23:51 |
| INTU | okay, thanks | 23:51 |
| INTU | :-) | 23:51 |
| rbs-tito | scragar: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 | 23:51 |
| Slart | Mozul: chmod with the -R switch does recursion on folders | 23:51 |
| juano__ | Mozul: chmod +w yourfile | 23:51 |
| Gnea | Mozul: chmod -R 666 dir/* | 23:51 |
| ndcapo | is it possible to install winXP after ubuntu ? | 23:51 |
| Nimby | Frogzoo, I searched for modprobe.conf and found no file | 23:51 |
| Gnea | Mozul: actually... | 23:51 |
| andi5 | Mozul: chmod g+w $PATH -R .... that sets a all files in $PATH writable for members of the group they belong to | 23:51 |
| Frogzoo | Nimby: make that '/etc/modules' | 23:51 |
| dfcarney | INTU: no, the windows installer will ask you where you want to install it. if you're just overwriting it, then don't worry. Like I said, reinstalling windows will screw around with the boot partition. | 23:51 |
| Gnea | Mozul: find /path -type f -exec chmod 666 {} \; | 23:52 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: to unallow a port whats the command. sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1025 -j REJECT ? | 23:52 |
| Geee | #ubuntu-br | 23:52 |
| tyronepolleri | Slart: there is no one in the winehq channel | 23:52 |
| dfcarney | ndcapo: not in my experience. i don't think so... | 23:52 |
| andi5 | Gnea: this seems to be overkill and i wonder why you restrict the search on files only ... hmmm :-D | 23:52 |
| Nimby | is there a channel for help with tv cards ? | 23:52 |
| Mozul | there is no GUI that can do recursion and set permissions? | 23:53 |
| Slart | tyronepolleri: there are 197 people in there.. they might be sleeping though.. it happens.. not all channels are as lively as #ubuntu | 23:53 |
| hvgotcodes | I have a free agent external driver; how do I write to it? | 23:53 |
| Gnea | anyone here experienced with alsa and dmix? i just want to send all default sounds out of hw:3,0 | 23:53 |
| mpeters | Bruno_: replace "REJECT" with "DROP" | 23:53 |
| Gnea | andi5: because directories need to be executable | 23:53 |
| electrofreak | rbs-tito, ok, well... thanks. I fixed the problem. | 23:53 |
| ndcapo | bugger on 56k took me awhile to get this system how I want it but found I need XP for a few things wine won't cut it | 23:53 |
| Bruno_ | mpeters: ok thanks | 23:53 |
| Slart | Mozul: I don't know if midnight commander or similar apps can do it.. perhaps | 23:53 |
| Gnea | andi5: otherwise you can't access them | 23:53 |
| MichealPW | Wouldn't it be a bad idea to allow the user that I use recreationally access to sudo? If so, wouldn't it simply make sense to have all users Users, | 23:53 |
| juano__ | ndcapo: yes although keep in mind microsoft ntldr overrites gurb | 23:53 |
| MichealPW | and enable the root user account?:/ | 23:54 |
| juano__ | grub* | 23:54 |
| andi5 | Gnea: oh, yes... so i wonder why you set the mask completely and do not chmod with +/- , but hey :) | 23:54 |
| Gnea | andi5: find /path -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \; would take care of those | 23:54 |
| Gnea | andi5: because i know the numbers better .. and they work :) | 23:54 |
| electrofreak | How do I make gdm not automatically startup at boot? I know how to do this in other distros, I'm just not sure how to properly do it in ubuntu. | 23:54 |
| Frogzoo | MichealPW: if you're paranoid, only give admin users sudo rights | 23:54 |
| ExalleR | windows programs aren't compatible to Linux.. (unless Wine) but is Linux programs compatible with windows? | 23:54 |
| rbs-tito | MichealPW: New users aren't sudoers by default. the user created at install is | 23:54 |
| dfcarney | ExalleR: no | 23:55 |
| Gnea | electrofreak: update-rc.d remove gdm | 23:55 |
| rbs-tito | MichealPW: You can switch from sudo to su if you prefer | 23:55 |
| electrofreak | ExalleR, you might get some compatibility with use of cygwin | 23:55 |
| MichealPW | Ah, interesting. | 23:55 |
| dfcarney | ExalleR: you could use cygwin for some things, however...depending on what you're looking to do | 23:55 |
| ExalleR | okey.. yhx! | 23:55 |
| Frogzoo | ExalleR: take a look at cygwin - it's pretty ugly | 23:55 |
| lapisdecor | I do force reload of all applets on ubuntu top panel? | 23:55 |
| Slart | ExalleR: depends on the dependencies.. =) I think a standalone program can be recompiled for windows without problems.. but few programs are really standalone | 23:55 |
| Pir8 | Is there a way to change the background that appears before the gdm login window comes up? | 23:55 |
| Slart | Pir8: you mean the nice light brown/orange thingy? not that I've heard of.. many people ask that question.. haven't seen a quick solution yet | 23:56 |
| andi5 | Pir8: do you mean the gray X (i think default root window)? | 23:56 |

| === zloog is now known as zloog420 | ||
| ndcapo | quit | 23:57 |
| MichealPW | So then, the user created during the installation should be my 'Admin' user, and the other users as least privileged users? I then use su to switch to the 'Admin' user? | 23:57 |

| Nimby | is there a way to take ownership of a drive that was windows vista so I can set folders for sharing etc ? | 23:58 |
| MichealPW | Slart: Wouldn't that mean you'd only need any user's password to gain superuser privileges?:/ | 23:58 |
| Chewy954 | Can someone help me with BMPx? I get a "gst-stream-error-quark / 1" error..... | 23:58 |
| Slart | MichealPW: well.. to be picky.. you need the user password for the user that runs the command.. but yes | 23:59 |
| andi5 | Nimby: yes, specify user=$uid in /etc/fstab as mount option, where uid is your user id (id -u) | 23:59 |
| zloog420 | Hi, I just got a new soundcard. Whats the install process like in general? | 23:59 |
| zloog420 | do you do a kernel compile and then insmod the driver or what | 23:59 |
| zloog420 | i cant remeber | 23:59 |
| MichealPW | Slart: Indeed, so, wouldn't that be a risk?:/ | 23:59 |
