| macele | What is the advantage to building your drivers from source rather than just using the restricted drivers system already implemented in ubuntu? | 00:01 |
| macele | Vid drivers that is... | 00:01 |
| Gskellig | not all drivers are in the restricted drivers system? | 00:01 |
| Evanlec | macele, mostly you do that if you need to use a custom kernel | 00:02 |
| Pelo | macele, no actual advantage, not every card is supported by the restricted driver | 00:02 |
| the_giver | tacone, well i wanted to know if the anti-glare made whites look sort of "dusty" | 00:02 |
| unperson | I've been watching Heroes on the NBC website via their flashplayer. Tonight I went to watch the latest episode and now none of the on-screen controls work. Has anyone else experienced a similar change recently (on NBC's site or elsewhere)? | 00:02 |

| Pelo | unperson, it happens on some site | 00:02 |
| unperson | I should say I'm using firefox and adobe's flash player, both from the repositories. | 00:02 |
| macele | IC, thx | 00:02 |
| unperson | Pelo, What puzzles me is that it worked just fine like last week. | 00:02 |
| Pelo | unperson, I recommend getting the eps in torrent and downlaoding it , much easier | 00:03 |
| macele | just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on a few frames by not building from source | 00:03 |
| Evanlec | macele, i havent heard anything to suggest that compiling your video drivers would improve performance over restricted drivers | 00:03 |
| unperson | Pelo, Sure. But I was content watching it on the site when it worked. | 00:03 |
| macele | cool | 00:03 |
| Pelo | unperson, just a suggestion | 00:04 |
| unperson | Pelo, Having no ability to pause, skip ahead, etc., sucks. | 00:04 |
| Bonste1 | !emulator | 00:04 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about emulator - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:04 |
| Evanlec | macele, however, there are performance improvements to be had (for games esp) by using a realtime kernel | 00:04 |
| unperson | Pelo, Understood and appreciated. | 00:04 |
| Pelo | unperson, I only skip ahead when I watch lost, the eps tend to drag on | 00:04 |
| Evanlec | macele, which is what i did, compiled custom kernel, then had to use the nvidia.com drivers | 00:04 |
| Bonste1 | hey anyone got PCSX emulator to work? | 00:04 |
| macele | Evanlec, I dont know what a realtime kernel is. Can you expand on that a bit? | 00:05 |
| ^Phantom^ | :D | 00:05 |
| unperson | Pelo, Well, in this case I couldn't pause, so I closed the window, thinking I'd be able to start up where I left off. | 00:05 |
| * ^Phantom^ in windows now | 00:05 | |
| Pelo | phantom if you want my help in anyway you'll remvoe non alpha caracters from your nick | 00:05 |
| macele | Is that just compiling a custom kernel? | 00:05 |
| Evanlec | macele, the realtime kernel is basically just the linux kernel with more aggressive timing, its scheduler or clock can be set to run faster | 00:05 |
| ^Phantom^ | Alright. | 00:05 |
| unperson | Pelo, As it turns out I seem to only be able to watch it all the way through without stopping. | 00:05 |
| Pelo | unperson, flash doesn't work like that unfortunately | 00:05 |
| === ^Phantom^ is now known as Phantom_ | ||
| === Sam2 is now known as Atlantiz | ||
| Phantom_ | oh, this name is owned, lemme choose one that isn't | 00:06 |
| === Phantom_ is now known as Twilight | ||
| Evanlec | macele, a good example is when i installed the ET:QW demo, it mentioned in its readme that a realtime kernel with 1000hz clock setting was recommended | 00:06 |
| Twilight | brb | 00:06 |
| unperson | Pelo, Their site had in player controls that would let you...until this week. | 00:06 |
| macele | Evanlec, cool... I had no idea. Are there plenty of links to be found by google-ing "realtime kernel"? | 00:06 |
| Pelo | unperson, downloading it will let you watch it at leasure and it's probably the same amout of data | 00:06 |
| Evanlec | macele, oh ya tons, and if u dont wanna compile your own there is also ubuntu's linux-kernel-rt package in the repo | 00:06 |
| unperson | Pelo, Yes, I agree. No argument that the torrent would be technically superior in every way. | 00:07 |
| Phantombun | Alright, characters removed | 00:07 |
| Pelo | unperson, donT' panick about that , it might e caused by a number of things, the way the coded this particualr ep, a small change in the flash they used, whatever, might be ok next week | 00:07 |
| Evanlec | macele, dont get to choose your options with that package but you get a realtime kernel without having to recompile (which takes a little learning) | 00:07 |
| Pelo | Phantombun, much better | 00:07 |
| Phantombun | :) | 00:07 |
| Xeon06 | Hey guys, Im new to ubuntu and I have a few questions: | 00:07 |
| Xeon06 | 1)How can I make Pilgin start automatically when I log in Ubuntu? | 00:07 |
| Xeon06 | 2)I have a shortcut to a windows drive on my "desktop" that I want to remove, however the only option is to unmount it. How may I remove it? | 00:07 |
| Xeon06 | Finally, how can I create the equivalent of a windows "shortcut"? | 00:07 |
| Xeon06 | Thanks | 00:07 |
| Phantombun | I can't find that file. | 00:07 |
| peepsalot | argh, for some reason aptitude keeps getting stuck during package installs | 00:07 |
| Phantombun | And the free space is still the same... | 00:07 |
| firebird619 | Could anyone suggest a program to reduce the size of a PDF file? I created a PDF using OpenOffice to be e-mailed, however the size is to large. | 00:08 |
| Pelo | Phantombun, defraging might clesn the space properly | 00:08 |
| unperson | Pelo, Yeah. I'll have to check it out next week to see if it's a consistent thing I guess. | 00:08 |
| Phantombun | Ah, okay. | 00:08 |
| peepsalot | is there anything I can do about that? | 00:08 |
| Evanlec | macele, tho if oyu're serious about getting "under the hood" with your linux system, this guide makes recompiling your kernel relatively easy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158 | 00:08 |
| Phantombun | After I delete these old redundant files, too :D | 00:08 |
| soundray | Xeon06: ask one question at a time. To start a program on login, add it in System-Preferences-Session-Startup programs | 00:08 |
| Evanlec | peepsalot, try apt-get? | 00:08 |
| Phantombun | I will be back momentarily :D | 00:08 |
| macele | Evanlec, I like to learn. I've been thinking about rolling my own kernel for some time now. I think it's time I learned. Any tips before I plunge into google search madness? | 00:08 |
| * Pelo read after I delete these old repugnant files too | 00:09 | |
| unperson | Pelo, Well, thanks. Later. | 00:09 |
| Phantombun | lol | 00:09 |

| Phantombun | I'm gonna gro grab some blank dvds to back up some important data | 00:09 |
| Vad1 | What library do I need to install when I get a 'checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!' error on ./configure? | 00:09 |

| Evanlec | macele, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158 | 00:10 |
| soundray | Xeon06: similar, but not the same thing as a shortcut in Windows is a link in Unix. There are symbolic links and hardlinks. man ln for more info | 00:10 |
| Pelo | Vad1, just sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:10 |
| Vad1 | Pelo: Um are you sure? | 00:10 |

| scguy318 | Pelo: he wants the X server headers and such | 00:10 |
| Pelo | Vad1, try it first if anything is missing it will probably ask for it | 00:10 |
| Evanlec | macele, doing it with ubuntu makes it relatively painless, the part you'll spend most time on is configuring your kernel (choosing what options to use, or what drivers to compile into the kernel) | 00:10 |
| scguy318 | Pelo: not reconfigure the X server | 00:10 |
| scguy318 | Vad1: I think libx11-6? | 00:11 |
| Rukus | every time that i run x-chat it requires me to reinstall my Fish plugin. This is kind of annoying, because then i need to load, the scipt, then retrive my proper fish key and enter it everytime i run xchat. any suggestions to make x-chat load my fish script and remember the key? | 00:11 |
| scguy318 | Vad1: you could do apt-cache search x11 | 00:11 |
| scguy318 | Vad1: and grep | 00:11 |

| Pelo | Rukus, what is the fish pluiggin ? | 00:11 |
| Vad1 | scguy318: oh that's a ton of packages. | 00:11 |
| macele | Evanlec, which is better... to compile into the kernel or to add as module? Is it faster to build it into the kernel? | 00:11 |
| Xeon06 | What would be the default location path of installed applications? | 00:12 |
| Pelo | Xeon06, /bin /sbin /usr/bin or /usr/sbin | 00:12 |
| Xeon06 | Thanks. | 00:12 |
| Pelo | Xeon06, you don't need a path just typing hte name of the app will do | 00:12 |
| Evanlec | macele, well, back in the day (5 years ago) it was beneficial to compile into the kernel (the resulting kernel after compiling will be smaller)...but these days with systems having lots of ram and cpu power, u can use modules without any real performance impact | 00:12 |
| soundray | Xeon06: there is no such thing. Different files go to different locations, depending on their contents. To see the list of files belonging to a package, type 'dpkg -L packagename' | 00:13 |
| peepsalot | ah man, gcvs is kinda ugly lookin using this old gtk. is there some better alternative? | 00:13 |
| Pelo | Xeon06, might also be a /usr/share/bin but not sure | 00:13 |

| kex | soundray, thx | 00:13 |

| Pelo | nick__, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:14 |
| macele | Evanlec, only thing that kinda scares me is the fact that I have software (fake) raid... I sure don't want to hose that. But I suppose I can just use grub to load the old kernel if I get it wrong and try again. | 00:15 |
| Pelo | _Rukus, remove it from your ~/.xchat folder | 00:15 |
| Pelo | I guess | 00:15 |
| nick__ | urgh | 00:16 |
| Evanlec | macele, actually its a good thing to compile a kernel with raid support (and filesystems) built-in, that way u wont have boot problems (RAID root partition cannot be mounted at boot time without kernel support) | 00:16 |

| Evanlec | hacked_kernel, to be honest, from what i've read, the difference wil probably be less than noticeable, however there are other options when compling your kernel to boost performance | 00:28 |
| * luser says hello | 00:28 | |
| Pelo | jay_, use synaptic, search for java , install the sun-java...... -plugin package that will be listed that matches your version of java | 00:28 |
| luser | ahh worked... | 00:28 |
| hacked_kernel | Evanlec: thanks a lot | 00:28 |
| xxx_ | Pelo, i'm the only user.its my machine... :) | 00:28 |

| kirika | xxx_, is it trouble to use the terminal | 00:29 |
| r3n0c | xxx just do sudo shutdown -h now | 00:29 |
| Pelo | xxx_, that means nothing, check in menu > system > admin> user, make sure your username has permission as a user to shutdown the comp | 00:29 |
| Evanlec | hacked_kernel, yea, if ur interested, read up on kernel scheduler settings and the 'realtime' kernel | 00:29 |

| DivideZer | Pelo its not free | 00:29 |
| luser | I've used mirc for years and the last time I gave xchat a look it was like using a terminal to chat | 00:30 |
| xxx_ | okay.. thanks | 00:30 |
| macele | Evanlec, in the tutorial you linked for building a custom kernel, nothing is said about x86 vs x64 systems... Do I need to download a special kernel for 64 bit systems? | 00:30 |
| Pelo | DivideZer, check on google, it is open source, some versions are | 00:30 |
| luser | it's come a long way | 00:30 |
| * Superman hi | 00:30 | |
| DivideZer | Pelo , i know it is open source but for windows is not free , i have searched but i didnt found | 00:30 |
| soundray | macele: you configure 64 vs 32 bit at the make config stage | 00:30 |

| Mick_xx | stupid | 00:32 |
| keen101 | DivideZer, is pidgin open source? | 00:32 |
| Pelo | Mick_xx, be nice | 00:32 |
| Evanlec | hacked_kernel, mm...not sure what u mean | 00:32 |
| * luser will be back later... looks like a nice friendly place... | 00:33 | |
| DivideZer | keen101 , i need serios irc client ... pidgin isnt | 00:33 |

| krammer | Is it ok to update Ubuntu even though there is a message stating not authenticated????? | 00:33 |
| USSJoin | I have an NFS share (hosted on Solaris, not that that should matter). When I try to mount it from one particular computer (a local server running Gutsy with all updates), it refuses with a longish error (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46289/). When I mount it from any other computer (including a Vista machine, another Ubuntu Gutsy + updates laptop, an Edgy laptop, etc.,) it works just fine. Ideas? | 00:33 |
| keen101 | DivideZer, i see. | 00:33 |
| kirika | DivideZer, use xchat | 00:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !best | DivideZer | 00:33 |
| ubotu | DivideZer: 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. | 00:33 |
| hacked_kernel | Evanlec: hard disk load cycle is parking/un parking the hard disk's head to save power when running on battery | 00:33 |
| Pelo | krammer, you get the not authenticated msg from 3rd party repos, or backport , it is probably ok | 00:34 |
| hacked_kernel | Evanlec: each hard disk manufacturar sets an average for its product | 00:34 |
| DivideZer | Jack_Sparrow , its not about " best " i need client ... | 00:34 |
| soundray | kex: if a crashed program leaves your video hardware in limbo, it's best to reboot... have you done that? | 00:34 |
| Xeon06 | Thanks Jack_Sparrow and Soundray, this worked | 00:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 00:34 |
| kitche | USSJoin: I would look at the server configuration the Gutsy one since it's configuration is wrong I would double check it with the systems that are working | 00:34 |
| kex | soundray, yes, ive had this problem for days | 00:34 |
| krammer | thanks and how do you reply in the red color? | 00:34 |
| xxx | is anything i can do to see that "shutdown button" | 00:34 |
| Pelo | DivideZer, for windows stuff why not ask in ##windows this is #ubuntu | 00:34 |
| hacked_kernel | Evanlec: the average is 600,000 load cycle then you should replace your hard disk | 00:34 |
| USSJoin | kitche: Which configuration? | 00:34 |
| Mick_xx | pelo?bad name?? | 00:34 |
| Evanlec | hacked_kernel, ohh right, well im not too sure about that as i dont use a laptop currently | 00:34 |
| Phantombun | Well, time to prepare data for dvd #2 :D | 00:34 |
| hacked_kernel | Evanlec: ubuntu makes a lot of this cycles per minute more than other OS's | 00:35 |
| soundray | kex: as you went through dpkg-reconfigure, did you enable your desired resolution in the monitor options? | 00:35 |
| Phantombun | A question about the dual-boot thing. | 00:35 |
| Pelo | <Mick_xx> stupid | 00:35 |

| kitche | USSJoin: the server configuration you had to do some configuration didn't you on the other machines to get NFS working correctly? | 00:35 |
| void^ | hacked_kernel: http://lwn.net/Articles/257426/ | 00:35 |
| Phantombun | Will I be able to make it so that I get a menu when I turn the laptop on? One that lets me choose Windows or Ubuntu? | 00:35 |
| kex | soundray, what do u mean? how do i do that? | 00:35 |
| USSJoin | kitche: No. a mount command worked fine. (see the pastie.) | 00:35 |
| prived | Press Alt+F4 to become channel operator | 00:35 |
| USSJoin | I use the same command on all systems. | 00:35 |
| Pelo | Phantombun, it will be done for you automaticaly | 00:36 |
| soundray | kex: didn't you read the link that ubotu gave you? | 00:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Phantombun: yes, dual boot.. it is easy | 00:36 |
| Phantombun | Yay. :) | 00:36 |
| Mick_xx | pelo stupid boy.......just kidding | 00:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mick_xx: not appreciated | 00:36 |
| WorkingOnWise | Jack_Sparrow: does Remote Desktop need to have any software installed on the Windows side, if the Linux side will be taking control? | 00:36 |
| Pelo | Mick_xx, I am not | 00:36 |
| Phantombun | Pelo is actually quite intelligent. | 00:36 |
| Mick_xx | are you sure..... | 00:37 |
| kitche | USSJoin: umm yeah wrong FS you sorta of need to tell it the filesystem type most likely | 00:37 |
| * Pelo is actualy mean nasty and impatient | 00:37 | |
| kex | soundray, how should i read the entire page? i hardly understand anything of it, ive tried one of the solutions which i understood and it didnt go | 00:37 |
| thor | WorkingOnWise: no...you just need to enable remote access in XP | 00:37 |
| Phantombun | you don't seem that way to me | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WorkingOnWise: I thought there was a remote access program as part of windows.. it works well with ubuntu | 00:37 |
| dtolj_ | I am inquiring about a linux command to list files recursively in a tree view. | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WorkingOnWise: very simple to config... | 00:37 |
| USSJoin | kitche: So how do I tell it NFS? And why does no other copy of Ubuntu or anything else need it? | 00:37 |
| caserzshado | does anyone know where i can find a channel regarding overclocking? | 00:37 |
| thor | WorkingOnWise: but that feature is only available in XP Pro...not XP Home | 00:37 |
| Evanlec | hacked_kernel, i've heard some about that, but i dont know how to fix it | 00:37 |
| Pelo | dtolj_, http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php this might help but try man ls | 00:38 |
| kitche | USSJoin: oh they need it just that they can autodetect it | 00:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WorkingOnWise: why not use a ub machine to log into the other | 00:38 |
| soundray | kex: okay. Is the resolution that you want available through System-Preferences-Screen Resolution ? | 00:38 |
| WorkingOnWise | thor: ahh...these are Home boxes... | 00:38 |
| === doseryder is now known as doseryder|sleep | ||

| dtolj_ | Pelo: thanks | 00:38 |
| thor | WorkingOnWise...sorry...it won't work...I have run into that issue before | 00:38 |
| USSJoin | kitche: So... how do I say nfs? | 00:38 |
| DivideZer | someone have heard about this ? http://www.hydrairc.com/ ? is oss ? | 00:38 |
| kex | soundray, no, its not there anymore, its been replace with 1400x1050 | 00:38 |
| xxx | how to add that "shutdown" in quit menu. | 00:39 |
| WorkingOnWise | Jack_Sparrow: ub machine? | 00:39 |
| kitche | USSJoin: mount -t nfs it seems you need | 00:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thor: thanks for the info.. never knew it wasnt in home | 00:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu | 00:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WorkingOnWise: or are they on windows? | 00:39 |
| Pelo | DivideZer, if it is sit should say so on the site , and I told you , for windows apps ask in ##windows, I will not say it again | 00:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WorkingOnWise: Family members etc.. | 00:39 |
| Phantombun | Pelo, I already got over my nervousness, I think. | 00:39 |
| soundray | kex: in a terminal, run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'. Accept all the defaults, until you get to the monitor section. At some point, there will be a ticklist of resolutions to enable. Select the one you want from that list. | 00:40 |
| thor | WorkingOnWise: you can run a vncserver on an XP Home machine, but it won't have the performance of remote desktop | 00:40 |
| kex | soundray, ok ill try that ^ | 00:40 |
| WorkingOnWise | Jack_Sparrow: they r on Windows XP Home, I am on ub...right now I run an XP vm to do remote assist..talk about bloat! | 00:40 |
| Phantombun | So, I shouldn't be too much of a hassle when it comes to pushing the next button. | 00:40 |
| caserzshado | anyone know of any channels regarding overclocking | 00:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WorkingOnWise: ugh.. got it.. | 00:40 |
| Pelo | Phantombun, wellcome to neverland , where everything is fine and dandy, you'll be in shock about the lack fo things to worry about for about a week | 00:40 |
| Mick_xx | all people on here is stupid | 00:40 |
| Pelo | Phantombun, what next button ? | 00:41 |
| USSJoin | kitche: Didn't work; same error. | 00:41 |
| Phantombun | I'm already in shock over how little cpu ubuntu uses | 00:41 |
| WorkingOnWise | thor: my big problem is these ppl shouldnt be allowed to even have a pc, but they do...big case of PEBKAC | 00:41 |
| Phantombun | AND how friendly it is on my laptop battery | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WorkingOnWise: So our rdesktop cant do remote assist with XP..? | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WorkingOnWise: home that is | 00:41 |
| xxx | guys.. | 00:41 |
| fortify | Can anyone tell me why when i right click on a program and say open with wine it crashes BUT when i goto a terminal and type wine (SHAMEFILE) it loads fine? | 00:41 |
| thor | WorkingOnWise:If you are trying to do remote maintenance, configs and such then vnc might be your answer. | 00:41 |
| Led_Zeppelin1 | for 64bit people, should they got for 64bit version of Ubuntu or 32bit. I am a big youtube watcher... | 00:41 |
| Pelo | Phantombun, that is weird usualy the battery life is of some concern for ppl using linux, I guess thngs got better in gutsy | 00:42 |
| keen101 | according to Mick_xx we all is stupid. hehe | 00:42 |
| scguy318 | fortify: it might be that the working directory is set incorrectly | 00:42 |
| WorkingOnWise | Jack_Sparrow: ot without installing on their machine..they will surely screw it up! | 00:42 |
| thor | Jack_Sparrow: you can do remote assist...but not remote desktop | 00:42 |

| thewheat | anybody know how to record from line-in? cant seem to get sound recorder to work :( | 00:42 |
| Phantombun | Well, Ubuntu is certainly more friendly than windows, that's for sure | 00:42 |
| gewuerzwiesel81 | http://2girls1cup.com/ <- tastyladies | 00:42 |
| usser | thewheat, use ffmpeg :) | 00:42 |
| soundray | Led_Zeppelin1: 64bit can be advantageous if you run certain CPU-intensive tasks. Otherwise,32 will give you fewer troubles. | 00:43 |
| Pelo | thewheat, check in alsamixer make sure that the mic and line in are open and properly set in the capture portion | 00:43 |
| Phantombun | AND, I noticed that it doesn't use anywhere NEAR as much ram as windows. | 00:43 |
| Phantombun | That's an up. | 00:43 |
| Pelo | Phantombun, that is true | 00:43 |
| xxx | i'm asking same question Re: "Shutdown" button... not in the Quit... anyone knows why? | 00:43 |
| scguy318 | xxx: perhaps your X session wasn't spawned by gdm | 00:43 |
| Pelo | xxx, did you check your username 's permission settings in the user dialog box ? | 00:44 |
| keen101 | Led_Zeppelin1, 64bit will get better in the future though. | 00:44 |
| xxx | Pelo, yes | 00:44 |
| fortify | RE ask, Can anyone tell me why when i right click on a program and say open with wine it crashes BUT when i goto a terminal and type wine (SHAMEFILE) it loads fine? | 00:44 |
| xxx | is ok | 00:44 |
| xxx | its* | 00:44 |
| usser | thewheat, do sudo apt-get install ffmpeg | 00:44 |
| Pelo | xxx, shut down with sudo from the terminal and see it if is fixed after a reboot | 00:44 |
| soundray | xxx: it can also happen if you modified your gnome config or gconf while gnome was running | 00:44 |
| usser | thewheat, then in mixer set the input to line in | 00:44 |
| xxx | soundray, its newly full installed | 00:44 |
| usser | thewheat, and in terminal type in ffmpeg -f audio_device -i /dev/dsp output.wav | 00:44 |
| usser | thewheat, this will proceed to create a wav file in the directory from which u executed ffmpeg | 00:45 |
| xxx | i did that shutdown thru terminal... and it the same thing... | 00:45 |
| Led_Zeppelin1 | keen101: now go with 32bit? | 00:45 |
| Phantombun | oh, i'm still brand new to linux | 00:45 |
| Juz_moi | what command will tell me what version of ipw3945 driver a person is running? | 00:45 |
| Phantombun | But, I must say that I already like it | 00:45 |
| Pelo | xxx, you check for your username or did you check for root ? | 00:45 |
| Phantombun | plus, i've already got experience with command lines | 00:45 |
| mEck0 | which desktop env. is most efficient to use with dual-core cpu's and 4GB DDR2 memory? gnome is kind of pain because it not get so much faster after I upgraded my pc. not so much it should be. Win Vista is much faster. is kde faster than gnome, or which should I try? | 00:46 |
| Phantombun | so, i feel like i've got a little bit of a head-start as a n00b | 00:46 |
| riotz | what the heck.. unbuntu doesnt accept the login details ive entered on the setup | 00:46 |
| kitche | Juz_moi: there isn't one since the version is always the same usually the firmware is the only thing that might tell you | 00:46 |
| keen101 | Led_Zeppelin1, it's up to you. If it were me I'd probably just take the plunge and go for 64bit. Things can only get better. | 00:46 |
| riotz | what can i do now | 00:46 |
| xxx | Pelo, i check it for user.... but it can adminter the system this user... | 00:46 |
| fortify | gnome is easier on cpu | 00:46 |
| Pelo | Phantombun, i installed it to try out when 6.06 came out, life long windows user, I ddinT' reboot windows for 5 days , and only then to go and grab my email settings | 00:46 |
| jrib | mEck0: everything should be fast on that setup... | 00:46 |
| Phantombun | lol, serious? | 00:46 |
| Pelo | xxx, I don'T know then | 00:46 |
| thewheat | Pelo: do both mic and line in have to be open? i am recording from line in only | 00:47 |
| jrib | riotz: reboot in recovery mode and reset the password using 'passwd USER_NAME' | 00:47 |
| xxx | Pelo, okay thanks... i'm gonna try other things :) | 00:47 |
| xxx | brb | 00:47 |
| mEck0 | jrib, there is a delay when I for example open folders and stuff like that. In vista it's much faster, so fast that a person can't open folders faster than the folder shows up, there kind of no delay. in gnome there is, which is annoying I think | 00:47 |
| jrib | riotz: if you aren't sure of the user name, do a 'ls /home' | 00:47 |
| riotz | hmm cool thing let me try | 00:48 |
| Pelo | Phantombun, I kid you not , the only time I boot windows anyomre is when I need to use autocad and I don't need to do it much these days, I clean installed my whole comp a few months ago and i only made a 10 gig part for windows, I have xp and autocad on it and that is it , ddin't reinastll anything else | 00:48 |

| IdleOne | Grav3Mind: why not just a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 01:31 |
| Espionage724 | I also have another Video Card question. Is there a updated video driver for the Intel 945GM? | 01:31 |
| Anthology | can someone refer me to a method of password protecting applications and text files on my user account? | 01:31 |
| ztomic | me? I run compiz on radeon 7200 fine. My other ati card cant run glx werth a darn. | 01:31 |
| Grav3Mind | because the two are screwing with each other idleone | 01:31 |

| thewheat | usser: thanks for the help | 01:31 |
| Grav3Mind | like i enable compiz for ubuntu | 01:31 |
| Grav3Mind | and it did it for my kubuntu install | 01:32 |
| Grav3Mind | and messed it up | 01:32 |

| sfears | mabey serpentine | 01:32 |
| Grav3Mind | but i want the cube desktop switch effect but the only one i can seem to get to work is the fliping one | 01:32 |
| ztomic | Grav3Mind: if you just want "looks" compiz is fine. if you want to "compute" ditch compiz. | 01:32 |
| kuribohx | same problem as before: ubuntu 6.06 hangs on boot up from live disk | 01:33 |
| Grav3Mind | well looks is what i want ATM but later on when i get more serious..... | 01:33 |
| FrankLakatos | is it possible to install ubuntu on mac w/o a partition | 01:33 |
| Flannel | FrankLakatos: the mac has no partition? or you want Ubuntu to not have a partition? | 01:34 |
| Grav3Mind | but ztomic can you help me get the cube desktop switch to work? | 01:34 |
| jrib | FrankLakatos: virtualized maybe like with virtualbox? | 01:34 |
| kuribohx | pici: you were helping me before | 01:34 |
| Grav3Mind | everything like the wobbly windows works so i know its fine | 01:34 |
| FrankLakatos | I have a powerbook g4 with tiger, that has no partitions on it, and id like to figure out how to get ubuntu server running on it | 01:34 |
| Grav3Mind | but i just cant get anything other than like..a flipping page to work | 01:34 |
| ztomic | Grav3Mind: nope. did it once to check it out but it means nothing to me. | 01:34 |
| Grav3Mind | ah ok | 01:34 |
| Grav3Mind | got ya | 01:35 |
| FrankLakatos | as a caviat, i know nothing about linux | 01:35 |
| FrankLakatos | whats virtual box? | 01:35 |
| Grav3Mind | anyone in here pretty good with messing with compiz? | 01:35 |
| Anthology | is there a way to password protect files or applications with ubuntu 7.10? like can someone point me to an application? | 01:35 |
| Grav3Mind | or should i just go to #compiz | 01:35 |

| raul | Anthology , what about perms? | 01:36 |
| jrib | FrankLakatos: virtualbox.org it will be like running ubuntu in a window from OSX | 01:36 |
| crimsun | rcahilig: ah, you need a newer quirk | 01:36 |
| FrankLakatos | Nice, thanks all- ill keep you posted | 01:36 |
| ztomic | Anthology: man chown and chmod. are you talking encrypt? | 01:37 |
| rcahilig | crimsun: what is quirk? Its the first time I heard that | 01:37 |
| Espionage724 | Is it bad if Ubuntu does not detect my Cpu instruction SSE3? | 01:37 |
| Espionage724 | because i know i have it..it just doesnt say it | 01:37 |
| crimsun | rcahilig: it's a specific configuration for your specific audio codec. | 01:37 |
| Bayden|newbee | hi | 01:38 |
| Optyx | Espionage724 do sudo lshw |grep video |less or try sudo lshw > ~/lshw.txt (which will print the output of lshw to a text document in your home directory) | 01:38 |
| rcahilig | crimsun: ahhh, how do I acquire that? Do I need to download? | 01:38 |
| kuribohx | My comp is a dell latitude l400 with 128 mb ram 6gig hdd is my comp too slow or just unable to run ubuntu? The live cd gets to loading nautilus and then just hangs FOREVER | 01:38 |

| wers | I installed pidgin from a third party repo. now I want to use the one from the official repos again. I uninstalled pidgin and removed the third party repo. I sudo apt-get updated and removed the pidgin from the 3rd party repo from my /var/cache/apt/archives. whenever I reinstall pidgin, the pidgin from the 3rd party repo keeps on being installed | 01:40 |
| kuribohx | well it can run xp sp2 just fine....*shrugs* | 01:40 |
| wers | any idea?? | 01:40 |
| jrib | wers: remove the third party repo | 01:40 |
| wers | done that | 01:40 |
| jrib | wers: oops, pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:40 |
| Espionage724 | Optyx: i get a screen that says (END) but i will now try the 2nd thing now | 01:40 |
| wers | !pastebin | 01:40 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 01:40 |
| jrib | wers: and output of 'sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy pidgin' | 01:41 |

| crimsun | rcahilig: one doesn't exist yet | 01:41 |
| kuribohx | is there anyway possible to install from boot up and not from live disk? | 01:41 |
| Espionage724 | ya | 01:41 |
| Espionage724 | do u mean something like a Text install? | 01:41 |
| jrib | kuribohx: "from boot up"? what does that mean? | 01:42 |
| rcahilig | crimsun: so I can't use my audio for now? | 01:42 |
| jsoftw | kuribohx: you might want to try xfce4 or something. | 01:42 |
| jsoftw | Or fluxbox | 01:42 |
| Espionage724 | where it does not boot into a live session? | 01:42 |
| rcahilig | crimsun: sometimes its working on a USB headset | 01:42 |
| SpeakerMania | I saved a video from YouTube, but instead of the actual FLV I got an FLV that streams the video form YouTube. How can I save it? | 01:42 |
| crimsun | rcahilig: right, you may be able to use your headset consistently if you configure it as the default device. | 01:42 |
| wers | jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46296/ :D | 01:43 |
| kuribohx | jsoftw:well the 6.06 disk has a menu | 01:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | SpeakerMania: i believe VLC plays flv's... at least it does for me... | 01:43 |
| kuribohx | aswell as a | 01:43 |
| jrib | SpeakerMania: keepvid.com but this isn't really related to ubuntu | 01:43 |
| kuribohx | text boot | 01:43 |
| daning | i want to ask some questions about java. where should i go. thx. | 01:43 |
| LjL | daning: ##java, most likely | 01:44 |
| kuribohx | jsoftwcan I install directly from the text boot? | 01:44 |
| kex | SpeakerMania, try ffmpeg -i fileone.flv fileone.avi | 01:44 |
| rcahilig | crimsun: I can't use the speaker for now? | 01:44 |
| kex | SpeakerMania, replacing the file names obviously | 01:44 |
| jrib | daning: if it is about installing it on ubuntu, then here, otherwise, as LjL said | 01:45 |
| kex | SpeakerMania, second file name is the new .avi file | 01:45 |
| allenc | I keep geting sound errors... how do I reinstall sound drivers? | 01:45 |
| daning | LjL: work. thx | 01:45 |
| jrib | wers: you don't have the 3rd party one installed. You have 1:2.2.1-1ubuntu4.1 | 01:45 |
| sb7970593 | Is s there a way to play a radio that HAS an index.asp in the URL outside browseR? | 01:45 |

| wers | but when i run pidgin, jrib, version 2.3.0 comes out | 01:46 |
| jsoftw | kuribohx: huh? | 01:46 |
| kuribohx | who? | 01:46 |
| wers | i'm using 2.3.0 now | 01:46 |
| SpeakerMania | Thanks all of you; kex, jrib, IndyGunFreak | 01:46 |
| jrib | wers: type 'which pidgin' | 01:46 |
| crimsun | rcahilig: not by default. It hasn't been added yet. | 01:46 |
| wers | jrib, huh? | 01:46 |
| wers | where? | 01:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | wers: i coudln't get 2.3.0 to compile correctly, kept gettiung an error. | 01:46 |
| wers | hehe | 01:46 |
| kuribohx | jsoft: can I install without running live disk? | 01:46 |
| kex | SpeakerMania, you are very welcome :D | 01:46 |
| jrib | wers: in a terminal | 01:46 |
| shah | does anyone know a software tool or plug-in which can give me the memory usage of my linux kernel module? | 01:46 |
| wers | IndyGunFreak, i installed it using a 3rd party repo :D it's just that, i cant make guifications and libnotify work with it :D | 01:47 |
| shah | I have plugged one network module similar to wireshark in the system, but I want measure the perfomance of that. | 01:47 |
| rcahilig | crimsun: I update my ALSA a while ago befor I install linux-backports-modules, is there something wrong with that? | 01:47 |
| wers | jrib, i never knew that there is such a command. haha | 01:47 |
| wers | /usr/local/bin/pidgin | 01:47 |
| Phantombun | Is it okay if I only give ubuntu about 12 or 13 gigs of hard drive on the partition? | 01:47 |
| rcahilig | crimsun: maybe I will try to reformat and install linux-backports-modules | 01:48 |
| jrib | wers: you have a version installed to /usr/local/, maybe you compiled it? | 01:48 |
| kuribohx | jsoft: can I install without running live disk? | 01:48 |
| crimsun | rcahilig: support's not even in the most recent unreleased source. | 01:48 |
| allenc | I am getting pop up sound card errors, how do I re-install the sound card drivers? | 01:49 |
| wers | jrib, i compiled it before installing from the 3rd party repo but the one i compiled didnt work | 01:49 |
| kex | hello again, i am following this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 and i do not find anything at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ so i am wondering if where i can see if there are alsa drivers supported by sound card | 01:49 |
| wers | is there a way for me to remove this? | 01:49 |
| jrib | wers: you need to remove it. How did you install it? 'make install'? | 01:49 |
| rcahilig | crimsun: This is a ECS Laptop | 01:49 |
| wers | yep, jrib | 01:49 |
| Phantombun | Actually, would I be okay to give Ubuntu just 10 gigs on its partition? | 01:49 |
| jrib | wers: try 'sudo make install' from the same place | 01:49 |
| wers | but the ver. 2.3.0 that worked is the one i installed using the repo | 01:49 |
| ztomic | shah: ls -l /boot/vm* | 01:49 |
| uKKeMan | cat im a kitty cat and i dance dance dance and i dance dance dance | 01:49 |
| jrib | wers: oops, I meant try 'sudo make uninstall' from the same place | 01:50 |
| wers | mmm... how do I do that? | 01:50 |
| wers | cd to the directory? | 01:50 |
| jrib | wers: yes | 01:50 |
| rcahilig | CRIMSUN: A cheap one | 01:50 |
| jrib | wers: the one where you ran 'make install' | 01:50 |
| xxx_ | i dont have the "shutdown" button(missing). any idea why? i'm the only user and can administer the system... | 01:50 |
| wers | jrib, i deleted that folder already | 01:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | loll | 01:50 |
| jrib | wers: download it again | 01:51 |
| kuribohx | can I install ubuntu without running live disk? | 01:51 |
| jrib | !alternate | kuribohx | 01:51 |
| ubotu | kuribohx: 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 | 01:51 |
| ztomic | which is why 128M is not enough to run Ubuntu. | 01:51 |
| IdleOne | xxx_: ubuntu does not require you to shutdown. leave it running and watch the uptime grow | 01:51 |
| juano__ | kuribohx: there is a alternate disk text mode | 01:51 |
| Flannel | IdleOne: It requires reboots for kernel patches. | 01:51 |
| jrib | kuribohx: it's on the download page for ubuntu | 01:51 |
| kex | xxx_ right click ur panel and do + add to panel | 01:51 |
| IdleOne | Flannel: true | 01:51 |
| kuribohx | ok | 01:51 |
| kuribohx | thanx | 01:51 |
| Phantombun | What's the MINIMUM amount required to run Ubuntu? | 01:51 |
| jrib | kuribohx: you probably want to try xubuntu though, it may run smoother | 01:52 |
| ztomic | 256 | 01:52 |
| Phantombun | ooh, nvm | 01:52 |
| donkeyofdarkness | I've run it with 256 | 01:52 |
| kuribohx | thx | 01:52 |
| Flannel | Phantombun: Ubuntu with gnome? or just Ubuntu at all? or what | 01:52 |
| juano__ | 384 recomended | 01:52 |
| donkeyofdarkness | 128 I mean | 01:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Phantombun: have you looked at xubuntu...? | 01:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Gnome will run w/ 128.. its not that bad. | 01:52 |
| Phantombun | i found more stuff to delete :D | 01:52 |
| xxx_ | IdleOne, i cant use all the time... this is the ofc computer :) | 01:52 |
| donkeyofdarkness | I've even run KDE with 128 | 01:52 |
| Nuked | I get some weird results everytime I use dvd::rip.. after encoding a video (any format) I notice that the movie plays at normal speeds, then slows down. This repeats throughout the entire encoded video. Can anyone perhaps suggest a solution? | 01:52 |
| SpeakerMania | Kino takes forever to import an AVI; I've actually never got a video imported it takes so long. What can be wrong? | 01:52 |
| juano__ | but that depends on desktop effects and such | 01:52 |
| ztomic | IndyGunFreak: gimme a break | 01:52 |
| donkeyofdarkness | yeah.. that was back on breezy | 01:52 |
| xxx_ | kex, it have the quit button but no shutdown button on it... | 01:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | ztomic: ?.. a break?... you lost me | 01:53 |
| Flannel | Absolute minimum is 32mb. Since installer doesn't like anything lower than that. | 01:53 |

| jrib | jsoftw: try them all and use the one that works best for you | 01:54 |
| ztomic | shah: it's the size of the file. | 01:54 |
| donkeyofdarkness | I just dunno which file has the setting for it | 01:54 |
| === Varka_ is now known as Varka | ||
| shah | ztomic: that means memory consumption at runtime is size of file, is it so? | 01:55 |
| ztomic | IndyGunFreak: that surprises me... not | 01:55 |
| Nuked | anyone have any ideas? | 01:55 |
| ztomic | shah: yup | 01:55 |

| Phantombun | i'm giving 15 gigs to linux | 02:09 |
| slypilot | Alright, anyone care to help me with a drive permission problem? even with the drive unmounted, and as root, the permission settings wont stick. | 02:09 |
| allenc | DaveQB: just says there was a problem with soundcard, doesn't list specifics... I don't know if it supported or not. | 02:10 |
| jrib | slypilot: did you do what I said? | 02:10 |
| slypilot | the website ubotu linked to? | 02:10 |
| jrib | slypilot: yes | 02:10 |
| slypilot | jrib: or the fstab stuff? | 02:11 |
| jrib | slypilot: it's the same, the website talks about the fstab stuff | 02:11 |
| allenc | daveqb: and when I go into sound preferences the tab locks up if I press test on some of the entries. | 02:11 |
| Jay-Oh-En | Phantombun: oh i never needed to defrag because whatever your going to partion is going to get deleted and turned into a new filesystem so basically i think you should install then defrag to get everything in order | 02:11 |
| DaveQB | hmm allenc hard to trouble shoot like that, tried running, say mplayer, from the commandline with a sound file as argument, so if that spits more info back at you | 02:11 |
| bakey | anyone got ideas? cygwin + rsync? | 02:11 |
| Phantombun | well, i was told by Pelu to defrag before installing linux | 02:12 |
| Phantombun | so, that's what I'm gonna do | 02:12 |
| DaveQB | allenc try alsaconf too | 02:12 |
| slypilot | jrib: under fstab, the drive has the same values as the other drives which i can edit permissions on.. | 02:13 |
| ztomic | shoot! DaveQB: where'd you get that? Maybe I got myself into a big riggermoro (Texas talk)! | 02:13 |

| corruptionoflulz | jrib: i've got ownership for myself, but i still can't change settings for "others" | 02:39 |
| ubotu | source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic | 02:39 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: (i'm slypilot) | 02:40 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: what exactly do you want to change it to? | 02:40 |
| Lounge | Jack_Sparrow: where's the source list located? sry for the noob question | 02:40 |
| ztomic | DaveQB: it looks like you need medibuntu.org. | 02:40 |
| deniz__ | feisty detects my printer and the ubuntu wiki says that it should work with pixma mp150 driver but i dont no how to obtain it | 02:40 |
| deniz__ | help plz | 02:40 |
| DaveQB | hmmmm i dont have it either any more, gmmmm | 02:40 |
| nantax | which is better: icewm or enlightenment? | 02:40 |
| DaveQB | ztomic hmm I have added a medibuntu rep | 02:40 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: read only (samba sharing) | 02:41 |
| DaveQB | ztomic got many a codec from there | 02:41 |
| DaveQB | ztomic qwhich package do you think | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lounge: /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:41 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: look at the umask in your fstab- | 02:41 |
| ztomic | DaveQB: did you download the extra codecs? | 02:41 |
| DaveQB | ztomic I thought so, I need to check now though | 02:41 |
| ztomic | DaveQB: you may also need restricted. | 02:41 |
| Jay-Oh-En | does anybody know how to set the agp speed to X8 for my fglrx drivers | 02:41 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: umask=007 | 02:42 |
| DaveQB | ztomic got it ! :) | 02:42 |
| Lounge | source shows medibuntu repos | 02:42 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: you understand what that does? | 02:42 |
| Wazm | Hi | 02:42 |
| DaveQB | ztomic which package did you find provide it ? apt-file didnt find it | 02:42 |
| Lounge | included | 02:42 |
| manero | is there any serious problem encountered by ubuntu? | 02:42 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: that's full read and write access right? | 02:42 |
| ztomic | DaveQB: I dunno. I gotta go though. sorry i couldn't help | 02:42 |
| jrib | manero: do you have a specific question? | 02:42 |
| allenc | DaveQB: How do I run that, it says command not found. | 02:42 |
| DaveQB | ztomic thanks | 02:42 |
| Wazm | ok | 02:42 |
| DaveQB | allenc alsaconf ? yeah it seems to be gone now a days, I used to use it heaps over the years | 02:43 |
| deniz__ | im sure sum1 here configured a printer to work and it dint work with the recommended thing the os gives u, whomever experienced this plz tell me briefly wat u did | 02:43 |
| manero | jrib, in terms of firewall and security | 02:43 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: 0 is for your user 0 is for the group and 7 is for others. Think of the mask as subtracting from 777 | 02:43 |
| DaveQB | allenc there must be something comparable to it now a days | 02:43 |
| corruptionoflulz | i think manero wants to know about security vulnerabilities and such | 02:43 |
| DaveQB | allenc google alsaconf ubuntu | 02:43 |
| manero | corruptionoflulz, yeap | 02:43 |
| Lounge | Jack_Sparrow: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner is in my list, is that bad? | 02:43 |
| corruptionoflulz | manero: there really aren't many from my understanding, unless you leave holes open yourself of course. | 02:44 |
| jrib | manero: you are still not being specific. Look through bugs.ubuntu.com and subscribe to the -security mailing list at lists.ubuntu.com I suppose | 02:44 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: alright, so what should the umask be at then...? | 02:44 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: you tell me :) | 02:44 |
| manero | corruptionoflulz, jrib ok thanks | 02:44 |
| Jay-Oh-En | !ati | 02:45 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:45 |
| toozler | anyone else running dualscreens on nvidia cards havin screenshot issues? (only 1 screen is printed, and everyrhing else is transparent) | 02:45 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: i would, if i could figure out how to figure it out xD | 02:45 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: you want it to be 5 (read and execute). 7 - x = 5, solve for x. You want umask 00x | 02:45 |
| deniz__ | y wont my usb flash drive write files?! | 02:47 |
| adorablepuppy | I'm logged onto a VPN trying to get some work done on a remote windows 2003 server. When trying to transfer files from the server to my computer, I realized that my computer was not being seen on the network and none of my shares could be accessed. But the shares can be accessed just fine on my home network. What's wrong? | 02:47 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: is it mounted read/write? | 02:47 |
| Lorek | does anyone know how to change file associations in X11? | 02:47 |
| LiMaO | Lorek: right click the file, go to Properties > Open With | 02:47 |
| Lorek | I mean as a default association | 02:48 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, on the laptop, first time i used it (i boughgt it today), it wrote, then second time, it only read and on this desktop pc it also only reads | 02:48 |
| Lorek | so you don't have to click the open with you just double click | 02:48 |
| adorablepuppy | Hit properties. | 02:48 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: so umask=002.. or 005, you kind of lost me, although i do appreciate that you are explaining it. | 02:48 |
| adorablepuppy | It's in there | 02:48 |
| Lorek | ahh ok | 02:48 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: umask=002 | 02:48 |
| abacka | can i install ubuntu to usb flash memorry? | 02:48 |
| Lorek | i see it now | 02:48 |
| LiMaO | Lorek: right click the file, go to Properties > Open with.. there you can choose an application for it to open with by default | 02:48 |
| Lorek | got it thx LiMaO | 02:49 |
| LiMaO | Lorek: you're welcome | 02:49 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: since 777 - 002 = 775 and that is what you want. Remember the mask "takes away" permissions | 02:49 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: ok good, i thought right then | 02:49 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, i fixed problem | 02:49 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: have you tried formatting the flash disk? | 02:49 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: how did you do it? | 02:49 |
| adorablepuppy | Anybody got an idea to why i don't see my smb shares on VPN, but I see them on my local network? | 02:50 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, its cuz, i accidently switched it to readonly mode, i just bought it today afterr all and am not use to this new feature and the switch gets moved easily | 02:50 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, stupid reason rely | 02:50 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: oh ok =) | 02:50 |
| magic_ninja | any steam players in here | 02:51 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, :) | 02:51 |
| deniz__ | y doesnt beryl do anything? | 02:51 |
| deniz__ | i did sudo apt-get install beryl | 02:52 |
| deniz__ | and now, no effects | 02:52 |
| deniz__ | im using feisty | 02:52 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: you have to install compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:52 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: then go to System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings | 02:52 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, how do i do that? | 02:52 |
| |TroubleMaker| | deniz__, you have to start beryl by typing beryl at the command line or in a run dialog | 02:52 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: er.. apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:52 |
| ddd__ | hello all | 02:52 |
| scottpc | You guys aren't going to believe this, and I'm not even sure what I might have done to fix this. I was having a problem yesterday where OpenOffice wouldn't print to my Brother Laser Fax4100, but it would print to everything else. I was printing to PDF, then to the printer - but all the sudden when I checked for updates using Syn Pkg Mgr, the problem is miraculously fixed!!! | 02:53 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: or use synaptic package manager to search for new stuff to be installed | 02:53 |
| deniz__ | ok so aptget thing then the type beryl then just enable effects? | 02:53 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: nope you did not understand it | 02:53 |
| scottpc | I've run for three weeks straight without going back to my windows hdd | 02:53 |
| scottpc | lol | 02:53 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, sry :( | 02:54 |
| ddd__ | i need help please. has somebody got a ~100MB - 200MB hard disk which is partitioned with more than 1 partition? | 02:54 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: to get effects you have to use compiz. and to set up effects you have to use the compiz configuration applications. compiz is already installed by default. to install the configuration application you have to install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' | 02:54 |
| deniz__ | ya but i dont have gutsy | 02:54 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: what do you run? | 02:54 |
| deniz__ | ubuntu 7.04 | 02:54 |
| CubeXombi | is someone here familiar with setting up an IR remote w/ XMMS, or in particular know the easiest way to get the IR code length from a remote? | 02:54 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: forget beryl, you need compiz | 02:54 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: do you know how to use synaptic package manager? | 02:55 |
| deniz__ | so i should uninstall beryl? | 02:55 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: install compiz, and install compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:55 |
| deniz__ | synaptic ya | 02:55 |
| adorablepuppy | deniz__: My beryl works great. | 02:55 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: leave beryl there. it won't hurt | 02:55 |
| CubeXombi | I've tried "cat /dev/ttyS1", but just get dummy characters and cat tell when the code repeats. | 02:55 |
| thinh | what kind of permission do i need on the host machine when i use scp, i can create a folder on the host machine using ssh but when i try to copy a file into that folder i get a permission issue anyone? | 02:56 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: thanks a lot! i award you an internet! (i can now share the drive over samba like i spent the last few hours trying to figure out | 02:56 |
| zcat[1] | compiz rocks. It's much more stable now than beryl was for me.. | 02:56 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: great | 02:56 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: (even though last install i had, i didn't have to go through this) | 02:56 |
| zcat[1] | .. and I have it running on an MX440 chipset :) | 02:56 |
| worthawholebean | my ubuntu is going insane | 02:57 |
| worthawholebean | i swear | 02:57 |
| worthawholebean | it randomly displays | 02:57 |
| worthawholebean | random stuff | 02:57 |
| LiMaO | lol | 02:57 |
| worthawholebean | lines on a black background, etc | 02:57 |
| worthawholebean | in the top left corner | 02:57 |
| jrib | !enter | worthawholebean | 02:57 |
| ubotu | worthawholebean: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 02:57 |
| corruptionoflulz | quick question, any of you guys ever try to use alltray with compiz? | 02:57 |
| zcat[1] | I'm still not happy with gutsy's printer dialog and mixer settings. This stuff was better in feisty.. | 02:58 |
| worthawholebean | ah sorry, i do that | 02:58 |
| scottpc | worth - I just switched a video card the other day - was very hot | 02:58 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, i install compiz-gnome? | 02:58 |
| scottpc | not ubuntu's fault though | 02:58 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: yeah, probably | 02:58 |
| * LiMaO is gonna install his printer now in gutsy. | 02:58 | |
| zcat[1] | compiz-gnome should already be installed if you use gutsy, right? | 02:59 |
| Lorek | worthawholebean: what kind of video card are you running atm? | 02:59 |
| corruptionoflulz | Since this IS an IRC channel, i probably should also mention xchat-gnome, it's a bit slimmer than xchat, i like it. | 02:59 |
| * LiMaO says: turned it on. it's installed now =D | 02:59 | |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, the box next to it is green that means i have it? | 02:59 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: yes | 02:59 |
| dodox20 | hi guys | 02:59 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, gnome compiz manager is not green tho | 02:59 |
| lemsx1 | !upgrade | 02:59 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 02:59 |
| Lounge | any1 ever seen an error like this before?.... | 02:59 |

| LiMaO | deniz__: install it. and also install COMPIZCONFIG-SETTINGS-MANAGER | 03:00 |
| dodox20 | a questin 4 you... how to change the icones on my gibbons' | 03:00 |
| RancidLM | hey all is there a toggle button applet for gnome? like a launcher but with 2 states? i want to make a button for mount and un-mounting as well as a few other scripts | 03:00 |
| Lorek | worthawholebean: what video card are you using right now with what driver? | 03:00 |
| RancidLM | ? | 03:00 |
| zcat[1] | compizconfig-settings-manager is the only thing you need to add afaik. | 03:00 |
| zcat[1] | everything else should be there already (or it's not something you need) | 03:00 |
| dodox20 | zcat... it's for me? | 03:01 |
| Lorek | oh btw, are there any experts on ALSA and other problems related to sound configuration, I'm running into a annoying problem but my sound works. | 03:01 |
| Resofje | DCC SEND lolololololololololololololololololol | 03:01 |
| corruptionoflulz | Lorek: only thing i could help you is if you had an audigy 2 | 03:01 |
| zcat[1] | dodox20: no, talking about compiz.. | 03:01 |
| dodox20 | sorry...lol | 03:02 |
| Lorek | ahh i'm running off a Creative SB Live 24-bit :( | 03:02 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, im obtaining all things with compiz in the name xept compiz kde so that should mean ill have wat i need... | 03:02 |
| corruptionoflulz | Lorek: you could try just stating your problem anyways, someone might be know something | 03:03 |
| adelie | is there a way to throw stdout and see it in terminal at the same time? | 03:03 |
| Lorek | ok, you know how when you pipe a sound file into a sound editor and up the volume really high how it sounds scratchy? | 03:03 |
| worthawholebean | Lorek: sorry, I was afk. I'm using an ATI X1600 with the fglrx driver | 03:04 |
| Scunizi | Lorek, yes.. continue | 03:04 |
| Lorek | all my sound sounds like that regardless of volume | 03:04 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: oh man. please try and read it carefully. all you need now is compizconfig-settings-manager. after it's installed, click on System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings and concentrate on the new window that will open! | 03:04 |
| adelie | ...or cat a file as it changes to monitor real time log changes / appends? | 03:04 |
| zcat[1] | adelie: command | tee foo.log -- sends output to foo.log and terminal .... tail -f foo.log follows foo.log as it grows. | 03:05 |
| zcat[1] | adelie: you need one or the other, probably not both at the same time :) | 03:06 |
| adelie | zcat you are awsome. thank you! each will be useful differently. thanks | 03:06 |
| Lorek | i guess for whatever reason my sound isn't normalizing volume correctly but its always scratchy which is really annoying | 03:07 |
| zcat[1] | less foo.log and then press F (or ctrl-F, I forget..) will do a similar thing to tail -f | 03:07 |
| zcat[1] | so many answers to one question :) | 03:08 |
| adelie | zcat[1] does tee work with interactive scripts? | 03:08 |
| zcat[1] | adelie: sometimes.. not always | 03:08 |
| Lorek | worthawholebean: you might check this out and see if it helps you. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/ati-driver-problems-wx1600-pro-pcie-490221/ | 03:08 |
| zcat[1] | adelie: some programs seem to get messed up by it, others are fine. | 03:08 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, cant i do sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager? | 03:09 |
| Lorek | the first couple posts aren't related but towards the bottom they discuss artifacting caused by the video driver and possible workarounds | 03:09 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: oh man, i really thought you had already installed it using synaptic....... | 03:09 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: install it anyway you want, just install it =P | 03:09 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: and yes, you can use that command | 03:09 |
| zcat[1] | deniz__: or aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager -- or install it in synaptic. | 03:10 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, k, just so u no i prefer terminal ;) | 03:10 |
| foso | help! im an idiot and followed these directions:http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2007/11/compiz-fusion-with-xgl-in-gutsy.html | 03:10 |
| foso | compiz isnt working and graphics are terrible | 03:10 |
| zcat[1] | foso: Yes. apt-get install xserver-xorg and it will return to using xorg instead of Xgl. That should fix the problem | 03:11 |
| LiMaO | i wonder why people follow complex directions while what they want can be done with an ordinary terminal command | 03:12 |
| worthawholebean | LiMaO | 03:12 |
| worthawholebean | whoops | 03:12 |
| LiMaO | worthawholebean: yes? | 03:12 |
| zcat[1] | LiMaO: terminal command? wtf? NOTHING li ubuntu needs a terminal command. Synaptic. Checkboxes. | 03:12 |
| Lorek | ok scratch my sound problem, i got it handled | 03:12 |
| worthawholebean | LiMa0: People are afraid of the little white box with the blinking cursor | 03:12 |
| jsoftw | me too. | 03:13 |
| zth | tonet.org | 03:13 |
| jsoftw | Its quite intimidating | 03:13 |
| Lorek | i switched my white box to a black box with neon green lettering. | 03:13 |
| foso | zcat[1] it says its already the latest version | 03:13 |
| tntCry | i love the white box and im a MS windows user since windows 3.1 | 03:13 |
| LiMaO | zcat[1] and worthawholebean: whatever people use, synaptic, terminal.. i don't think one needs complex instructions to get a rotating cube to work on their systems | 03:13 |
| Lorek | are there ways to change it from a cube to say a hexagon? | 03:13 |
| LiMaO | Lorek: yes | 03:14 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, there is nutn with such a name | 03:14 |
| tntCry | it took me 4 days to understand all the commands for terminal and how to use them :) and i love it because if your a random computer user you will need it | 03:14 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, in synaptic | 03:14 |
| zcat[1] | for some weird reason, people expect linux to be hard. I had a guy the other day wanting me to set up his new USB wireless adaptor.. Plugged it in. Gutsy detected it and all we had to do was pick a wireless network from the list.. too damn easy. | 03:14 |
| ant- | tntCry, you will never know all the commands | 03:14 |
| donkeyofdarkness | w00t. x11 forwarding pwns | 03:14 |
| worthawholebean | zcat[1]: It used to be hard a lot of the time. | 03:14 |
| LiMaO | Lorek: System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings.. then go to General Options > Desktop Size... set horizontal virtual size to 6 and it'll be an hexagon | 03:15 |
| zcat[1] | Linux USED to be hard.. back in 1998 perhaps... it's not hard any more, 99% of the time. | 03:15 |
| Lorek | people expect linux to be hard because there's a long history of when you run into problems you need to have technical knowledge to implement the fixes. | 03:15 |
| adelie | zcat[1] ooh, as far as scripts doing bad things to log files, I got a script with timers that use \r for displaying progress of the script, but when thrown, \r literally appended to the file filling log files with progress bars. cat foo.log | cat > foo.log cleans them up, but it would be nice to do it a bit more streamlined. | 03:15 |
| donkeyofdarkness | I get things done way faster on linux than on windows | 03:15 |
| zcat[1] | Lorek: yeah.. whereas editing the Windows registry is easy? :) | 03:15 |
| Sandr1x | guys, i can't install ubuntu on my laptop, cuz whichever boot option I use it either stops while installing or just reboots | 03:15 |
| Lorek | i always found windows registry editing to be a cakewalk | 03:15 |
| LiMaO | Lorek: people do NOT experiment. they have an application but they do NOT try it. they expect someone to take their hands and show them where to click | 03:15 |
| bernier | Hi, how do I get the latest 8.42.3 drivers from hardy repos? | 03:15 |
| goodmami | so anyone know why wacom drivers seem to break with xgl? does xgl not use xorg.conf? | 03:15 |
| donkeyofdarkness | Sandr1x, try the alternate install cd | 03:15 |
| tntCry | i know whats important ( creating a script , copying / or creating multiple files of any kind , moving / and replacing files , .... the list goes on ant- .. | 03:16 |
| zcat[1] | Lorek: and I always found editing plaintext config in /etc/ to be easy :) | 03:16 |
| LiMaO | Lorek: if people would at least browse the applications windows, read what the buttons says they would probably figure out most stuff by themselves | 03:16 |
| arc3angel | has anyone had a server hang on boot up using 6.06 lts at the boot scripts | 03:16 |

| LiMaO | deniz__: have you added the multiverse, universe and the others repositories? | 03:16 |
| Phantombun | Now, restart into my live cd, right? | 03:16 |
| worthawholebean | LiMa0: Yeah, my parents always do that... | 03:17 |
| zcat[1] | !botsnack | 03:17 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 03:17 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, if its sumtin i have to do manually, likely not | 03:17 |
| arc3angel | donkey - yes exactly | 03:17 |
| arc3angel | then i go to tty2 and login in fine run a few commands and it starts to act as if it is hanging again | 03:17 |
| alvaro4356 | HI, friends | 03:17 |
| donkeyofdarkness | odd | 03:17 |
| Phantombun | I'll be right back, in linux :D | 03:17 |
| donkeyofdarkness | I dunno | 03:17 |
| Lorek | actually i think there's a certain way of thinking when it comes to computers that people that don't program never really achieve. That's why some fixes seem commonly easy to some people and horribly difficult for others. But I digress, this is a support channel not a chat. If anyone wants to continue the discussion i'll be in #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:17 |
| arc3angel | i log in ssh and it never skips a beat | 03:18 |
| zcat[1] | deniz__: system > admin > software sources .. check the checkboxes.. | 03:18 |
| tntCry | ant-, if you want to know commands copy the history terminal list and paste in Notes then by time after using them couple of times you will know it :) | 03:18 |
| alvaro4356 | Oh, very coool | 03:18 |
| alvaro4356 | this chat | 03:18 |
| MadWilliamFlint | hey does someone have a link to a list of essential downloads for ubuntu? There's more stuff out there than I can possibly wade through. | 03:18 |
| foso | anyone know how to switch back to xorg and ditch xgl? | 03:18 |
| arc3angel | my previous server never hung like this | 03:18 |
| arc3angel | same distro and version | 03:18 |
| goodmami | i mean, i'm using an ibm tablet pc, and the stylus still works when running xgl, but lines aren't as smooth and eraser doesn't work | 03:18 |
| alvaro4356 | find it at google | 03:18 |
| tntCry | their is a great debian wallpaper but i would like to get it without the debian test tag on it | 03:19 |
| Than_ | hey | 03:19 |
| zcat[1] | foso: apt-get install xserver-xorg, it should altomatically remove Xgl when it reinstalls xorg | 03:19 |
| ant- | tntCry, my point is - copying, moving, replacing files is only the beginning | 03:19 |
| worthawholebean | arc3angel: bad hardware? | 03:19 |
| Than_ | i have a quick question i need help with can anyone help? | 03:19 |
| arc3angel | brand new server | 03:19 |
| zcat[1] | altomatically? automagically, aotomatogically, whatever | 03:19 |
| arc3angel | intel based parts | 03:19 |
| foso | zcat[1] it said it was already the current version | 03:19 |
| adelie | linux is a world easier than windows for setting up. I have always had to install windows network drivers and do partitioning with a linux live cd before I was every really into linux | 03:19 |
| foso | judt restart? | 03:19 |
| zcat[1] | foso: hmm.. weird | 03:19 |
| arc3angel | nothing in any log file indicates an issue | 03:19 |
| LiMaO | zcat[1]: altomatically was funny hehe | 03:19 |
| tntCry | ant-, what about doings scripted tasks :) | 03:19 |
| jtt | !question > Than_ | 03:20 |
| LiMaO | zcat[1]: isn't english your native language? | 03:20 |
| ant- | tntCry, depends on the scripts | 03:20 |
| adelie | even 10 years ago, linux just worked | 03:20 |
| goodmami | foso: you could try "apt-get remove xserver-xgl" as well | 03:20 |
| ant- | tntCry, some can be very basic, while others very complex | 03:20 |
| donkeyofdarkness | It took 45 minutes to install all the soundblaster crap on windows. On ubuntu you just stick the card in and turn on the computer. | 03:20 |
| LiMaO | foso: and remember, to have a rotating cube you do not need an xgl server | 03:20 |
| zcat[1] | adelie: well, not really... a lot of stuff has only got real userfriendly in the last year or three | 03:20 |
| slaytanic | Anyone here using dual head with the ati opensource driver? | 03:20 |
| c0mp13371331337 | slaytanic: Dual head with radeon driver here. | 03:21 |
| tntCry | ant-, like the compiz script installer which is complex for the noobs ? | 03:21 |
| arc3angel | everywhere i looked at work today it seems alot of people have this issue but nothing in the threads ever showed a solution just "resolved" | 03:21 |
| foso | LiMaO i dont know what i need, it crashes when i have more then two desktops | 03:21 |
| foso | goodmami its says it cant find that package | 03:21 |
| goodmami | hmm | 03:21 |
| zcat[1] | foso: perhaps it's not installed? :) | 03:21 |
| ant- | tntCry, i dunno, i installed compiz without touching a script | 03:21 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, all checked | 03:21 |
| slaytanic | c0mp13371331337: Whenever I try to use it anything but "clone" mode, it crashes X, any ideas? | 03:21 |
| donkeyofdarkness | ... I've resorted to eating ketchup | 03:21 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: have you clicked the 'update/refresh' button after checking all of them? | 03:22 |
| zcat[1] | ant-: I never installed compiz.. it was just there after I installed gutsy and enables the restricted drivers | 03:22 |
| arc3angel | i can paste bin my logs if someone wants to look them over | 03:22 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: if so, now just search for compizconfig-settings-manager | 03:22 |
| goodmami | foso: make sure your effects are off in System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects | 03:22 |
| foso | zcat[1] sorry im a noob, i think xgl is installed since it said it was and its completly screwed up my graphics | 03:22 |
| ant- | zcat[1], sounds good | 03:22 |
| arc3angel | i am at a loss here - i know it has to be a configuration issue somewhere just where i am not sure | 03:22 |
| goodmami | and maybe restart X with ctrl-alt-bksp (this will log you out, so save your work) | 03:23 |
| c0mp13371331337 | slaytanic: Could be any number of things. Can you paste bin your xorg.conf file? | 03:23 |
| LiMaO | !paste | slaytanic | 03:23 |
| ubotu | slaytanic: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 03:23 |
| tntCry | ant-, before 7.10 compiz had to be installed manually and do stimulate tasks on unpacking files ect.. into multiple files , do you mean this is a complex script ? if not can you clarify an example of how complex a script can be .. | 03:23 |
| slaytanic | c0mp13371331337: sure. | 03:23 |
| zcat[1] | tntCry: wasn't it already installed but not enables in feisty? | 03:23 |
| zcat[1] | *enabled | 03:24 |
| hartono | #adempiere | 03:24 |
| tntCry | zcat[1], no in feisty no compiz builtin | 03:24 |
| goodmami | so nobody knows anything about tablet pcs and wacom drivers? | 03:25 |

| arc3angel | any idea what cuases this --> [42949376.000000] sda: asking for cache data failed | 03:25 |
| alvaro4356 | VERY COOL | 03:25 |
| alvaro4356 | THIS CHAT | 03:25 |
| tntCry | guys look at this awesome wallpaper http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/53892-Future%20Debian2.jpg | 03:25 |
| zcat[1] | compiz has come a LONG way in one year.. it used to be buggy as hell.. and so was beryl. Now it's rock solid. Heaps of effects, openGL games and video works without a hiccup.. it's like a dream! | 03:25 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, "Compiz Gnome Manager" | 03:25 |
| goodmami | zcat[1]: running glxgears crashes xgl for me | 03:26 |
| goodmami | not so stable.... | 03:26 |
| corruptionoflulz | zcat[1]: compiz is still a fair bit away from rock solid | 03:26 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, is that it? | 03:26 |
| zcat[1] | goodmami: don't use Xgl. | 03:26 |
| ant- | tntCry, thats a pretty nice wallpaper, but i like mine more | 03:26 |
| tntCry | give me a link ant- | 03:26 |
| slaytanic | c0mp13371331337: http://pastebin.com/m532612dc | 03:26 |
| zcat[1] | compiz doesn't need Xgl | 03:26 |
| slaytanic | c0mp13371331337: I've highlighted the relevant line. | 03:26 |
| goodmami | zcat[1]: guess i missed something... i thought it did | 03:26 |
| arc3angel | that message is from my dmesg log | 03:26 |
| ant- | tntCry, http://img02.picoodle.com/img/img02/5/11/15/f_Screenshot4m_e85462c.png | 03:27 |
| goodmami | does compiz still use video hardware? or does it use the main processor for all the effects? | 03:27 |
| zcat[1] | compiz here really is ROCK solid.. on three different cards. Compared to just a year ago it's amazing! | 03:27 |
| foso | goodmami why? they were working before | 03:27 |
| foso | to refresh: heres the instructions i followed: http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2007/11/compiz-fusion-with-xgl-in-gutsy.html | 03:27 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: please please please. read it carefully. open synaptic package manager (yes, i know you prefer the terminal, but try this one). after it's opened, click on the Search button. then type "compizconfig" without the quotes. the first entry is what you need. it's called compizconfig-settings-manager and its description is "compiz configuration settings manager" | 03:27 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: so no, it's not compiz gnome manager | 03:28 |
| corruptionoflulz | LiMaO: i think that's in the add/remove programs too, maybe it'd easier? | 03:28 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, i typed exactly that and nutn.. | 03:28 |
| arc3angel | [42949376.000000] sda: asking for cache data failed | 03:28 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: then update to 7.10 =P | 03:28 |
| zcat[1] | LiMaO: ppl expect linux to be hard :( They'll go ahead and install Xgl and a dozen other unnecessary packages, then they'll come back and complain that it was hard and now it's unstable.. :( | 03:28 |
| arc3angel | ??? 6.06 LTS 32bit Server | 03:28 |
| LiMaO | corruptionoflulz: he can't find it anyway. hehe i'm almost quitting =P | 03:28 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, i have dial-up | 03:29 |
| kb3llm | does Ubuntu work fine on tablet PC's yet? anyone have any light to shed on the idea? | 03:29 |
| ant- | LiMaO, are you looking for gtk-window-decorator? | 03:29 |
| mactimes | Hi there! | 03:29 |
| LiMaO | zcat[1]: yeah, i wonder why and WHO writes such unnecessary how-tos | 03:29 |
| LiMaO | ant-: no | 03:29 |
| jsoftw | I have put entries into /etc/hosts for www.foo.com, pinging it works fine, but using firefox just goes to the actual domain... | 03:29 |
| tntCry | ant-, hehe | 03:29 |
| jsoftw | Any ideas? | 03:29 |
| jsoftw | I have tried restart firefox... | 03:29 |
| mactimes | Could someone help me with gpg, please? | 03:29 |
| tntCry | ant-, do you like that darkness | 03:29 |
| ant- | tntCry, dark and simple, i like | 03:29 |
| arc3angel | any reason why this is in my dmesg log --> [42949376.000000] sda: asking for cache data failed | 03:30 |
| kb3llm | anyone? | 03:30 |
| LiMaO | arc3angel: dead disk? | 03:30 |
| zcat[1] | deniz__: All you need is ONE small package.. dialup will be quite sifficient, please just follow the instructions you were given? | 03:30 |
| arc3angel | any reason why this is in my dmesg log --> [42949376.000000] sda: asking for cache data failednope | 03:30 |
| Phantombun | Okay, I'm ready to install linux now | 03:30 |
| ant- | tntCry, makes my text easier to see - http://img31.picoodle.com/img/img31/5/11/15/f_screenshot5m_07676b3.png | 03:30 |
| LiMaO | arc3angel: have you tried running fsck on that drive? | 03:30 |
| arc3angel | wtheck | 03:30 |
| slaytanic | jsoftw: No proxies are enabled in FF, right? | 03:30 |
| mactimes | I had a key before reinstalling my Ubuntu, could someone help me recovering it? | 03:30 |
| Phantombun | -Where do I start? | 03:30 |
| goodmami | kb3llm: i'm running it on thinkpad x61t | 03:30 |
| arc3angel | can i run fsck from a putty session | 03:30 |
| deniz__ | zcat[1], i swear im not being rebellious or wtv | 03:30 |
| LiMaO | mactimes: a key for what? your home door? you car? =P | 03:31 |
| deniz__ | zcat[1], im doiung exactly as told | 03:31 |
| jsoftw | slaytanic: nope.. | 03:31 |

| tntCry | it is not easy to see | 03:31 |
| mactimes | LiMaO: Exported to keyserver.ubuntu.com | 03:31 |
| ant- | !tablet | 03:31 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tablet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:31 |
| goodmami | kb3llm: read what i said 15 lines up | 03:31 |
| zcat[1] | gtg anyhow.. good luck all | 03:31 |
| tntCry | too much traffic on 1 page ant- :/ how do you focus ?> you wearing glasses? | 03:31 |
| LiMaO | mactimes: sorry, i don't know anything about it =/ | 03:31 |
| thor | arc2angel: yes you can run fsck through putty, but you have to have root access | 03:31 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, ill google wat ur asking | 03:32 |
| ant- | tntCry, how can you say that sitting in a channel with 900+ poeple? | 03:32 |
| slaytanic | jsoftw: Oddness. | 03:32 |
| Phantombun | Okay, help please... | 03:32 |
| WorkingOnWise | goodmami: what are u using for handwritting input? | 03:32 |
| Phantombun | I don't want to use my entire disk for linux | 03:32 |
| LiMaO | ant-: this channel has exactly 1129 people connected at this moment | 03:32 |
| arc3angel | i am the admin that is an easy item - although being a brand new install (2nd fresh install) on brand new parts i dont see it being an software issue per say | 03:32 |
| LiMaO | ant-: just for accuracy sakes ;) | 03:32 |
| Scunizi | tntCry, when talking to someone you have to use their nick in the line otherwise you messages will get lost in the noise.. | 03:33 |
| Phantombun | How do I partition only 10-15 gigs? | 03:33 |
| goodmami | WorkingOnWise: I haven't got that far.... I'm using xournal for note taking | 03:33 |
| ant- | LiMaO, :P | 03:33 |
| Phantombun | Please, help! | 03:33 |
| mactimes | Could someone, please, help me recovering my gpg key? | 03:33 |
| goodmami | i only installed ubuntu yesterday | 03:33 |
| tntCry | ant-, :/ mybad | 03:33 |
| Phantombun | I don't want to totally crap up my laptop and have to reformat | 03:33 |
| goodmami | WorkingOnWise: I'm not sure if it has good handwriting recog software yet.... | 03:33 |
| ant- | tntCry, can i see your desktop? | 03:33 |
| tntCry | aaaah | 03:33 |
| thor | Phantombun: are you running windows xp or vista in theother partition? | 03:33 |
| DG19075 | Phantobun, you can use GParted | 03:33 |
| tntCry | ant-, i must print screen | 03:34 |
| WorkingOnWise | goodmami: i looked into Ubuntu on a tablet...bought a laptop and am waiting for good hr app before I go to a tablet. | 03:34 |
| Phantombun | xp home sp2 | 03:34 |
| tntCry | my desktop is cool ;) | 03:34 |
| ant- | tntCry, oh? | 03:34 |
| goodmami | WorkingOnWise: I'm surprised that setting up stylus input was easy (but not automatic), but pressure sensitivity is still evading me | 03:34 |
| Phantombun | I defragmented and backed up data like you guys told me to earlier | 03:34 |
| Phantombun | now i'm ready | 03:34 |
| ant- | tntCry, show-n-tell | 03:34 |
| goodmami | WorkingOnWise: and screen rotation when i switch to tablet mode ain't happening | 03:35 |
| DG19075 | Phantombun, you cn have the Wionows partition resized. | 03:35 |
| Phantombun | I'm only giving linux 10-15 gigs | 03:35 |
| Phantombun | So, where do I start? | 03:35 |
| DG19075 | Better to have each OS live in its own HDD..which is what I have here. | 03:36 |
| WorkingOnWise | goodmami: lol...yeah. the tablet pc is i think the last major hurdle for Linux....but it is developing. | 03:36 |
| tntCry | ant-, i dont have a site to upload :p | 03:36 |
| tntCry | ant-, im a private man | 03:36 |
| Phantombun | my friend is telling me that i'm gonna mess everything up installing this on my laptop | 03:36 |
| ant- | tntCry, picoodle.com | 03:36 |
| Phantombun | now i'm worried :S | 03:36 |
| ant- | tntCry, quick and easy | 03:36 |
| tntCry | ant-, btw tntcry try not to cry | 03:36 |
| corruptionoflulz | Phantombun: you COULD backup first... | 03:36 |
| abc | hi all - i have just installed OpenVPN - but it does not appear on my menu list - where do i find it and run ? | 03:36 |
| DG19075 | hantombun, you'd have to re install Ubuntu and have it resize the partitions in the HDD | 03:37 |
| arc3angel | this thing seems to hang on running boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) | 03:37 |
| Phantombun | wait, what? | 03:37 |
| ant- | tntCry, they have medacine for that kinda stuff | 03:37 |
| tntCry | ant-, what stuff? | 03:37 |
| corruptionoflulz | Phantombun: the ubuntu installer will resize the partitions for you (defrag is recommended) | 03:37 |
| ant- | tntCry, trying not to cry | 03:37 |
| Phantombun | I just got done defragging | 03:38 |
| ant- | tntCry, (depression) | 03:38 |
| tntCry | ant-, damn? people take medcine so they dont cry | 03:38 |
| tntCry | you mean anti dpression? ant- | 03:38 |
| corruptionoflulz | Phantombun: do you have any important data that would be good to back up? just to make you feel safer.. | 03:38 |
| Phantombun | Well, quite a bit actually | 03:38 |
| tntCry | ant-, who make these stuff lo | 03:38 |
| Phantombun | but, i'm not gonna fail on my first try, am I? | 03:38 |
| arc3angel | i am at a total loss here | 03:38 |
| arc3angel | cant figure this out for anything | 03:39 |
| ant- | tntCry, i dunno, i havent cried in a while | 03:39 |
| LiMaO | tntCry: medicine that prevents depression may be considered medicine not to cry | 03:39 |
| LiMaO | =P | 03:39 |
| corruptionoflulz | Phantombun: not likely, but i backed up before i did it, just for peace of mind.. never used the backup though | 03:39 |
| tntCry | means your depressed ant- ? | 03:39 |
| Phantombun | oh? | 03:39 |
| tntCry | LiMaO, who doesnt want to cry ? | 03:39 |
| LiMaO | tntCry: i don't. i prefer to smile =D | 03:39 |
| Phantombun | if things go wrong, i can still recover the hard drive contents, right? | 03:39 |
| ant- | i dont want to cry | 03:40 |
| LiMaO | ant-: are you ok? i can be your friend. lol | 03:40 |
| LiMaO | =D | 03:40 |
| ant- | how did this get turned on me? | 03:40 |
| corruptionoflulz | Phantombun: as long as you don't overwrite things. | 03:40 |
| Phantombun | it's asking me how I want to partition the disk | 03:40 |
| LiMaO | ant-: aren't you the one taking the anti-depressive medicine? =P | 03:41 |
| tntCry | LiMaO, then follow the ancient routines , no caffine no nicotine no alchohol no drugs ( have water during the time you will fast , and fast for 4 to 8 times a week ) , it cured 20,000 people who tried the rest didnt try thats why didnt cure :) | 03:41 |
| corruptionoflulz | Phantombun: easiest way is to just let it resize it for you | 03:41 |
| Phantombun | It has Use entire disk, use largest continuous free space, and manual | 03:41 |
| DG19075 | and it's probably giving you a percentage of the disk to use for Ubuntu ? | 03:41 |
| Phantombun | no | 03:41 |
| corruptionoflulz | there isn't a resize thing with a slider up top? | 03:42 |
| LiMaO | tntCry: i didn't understand the 'fast for 4 to 8 times a week'.. isn't fast an adjective? | 03:42 |
| corruptionoflulz | take screen shot. | 03:42 |
| deniz__ | is there such a thing as a defragger for ubuntu or does ubuntu write files in a manner in which things will never fragment themselves? | 03:42 |
| c0Ld | PhantomBun: Manual | 03:42 |
| corruptionoflulz | deniz__: the latter i believe. | 03:42 |
| tntCry | fast to not eat LiMaO | 03:42 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: linux doesn't need defragmentation | 03:42 |
| Phantombun | >_< | 03:42 |
| ant- | !defrag | 03:42 |
| ubotu | defragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units. | 03:42 |
| Phantombun | Screenshot or Manual? | 03:42 |
| tntCry | i just found a creat feature request in compiz check this out http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5340 | 03:42 |
| tntCry | great > | 03:42 |
| LiMaO | tntCry: oh man. i can't stand it. eating is good. =D | 03:43 |
| corruptionoflulz | Phantombun: take a screen shot, and put it on www.imageshack.us | 03:43 |
| emory | howdy all | 03:43 |
| Phantombun | dangit i got two people ordering me around | 03:43 |
| corruptionoflulz | Phantombun: there should be a slider thingy for resizing... | 03:43 |
| tntCry | if that feature is available compiz might not be free lo | 03:43 |
| deniz__ | k, thx for answer :) | 03:43 |
| deniz__ | LiMaO, im stuck with this supposedly easy thing... | 03:43 |
| c0Ld | corruptionoflulz: I think he has to select manual to get that ;p | 03:43 |
| tntCry | LiMaO, then you must know that most scientists say its not :) | 03:43 |
| emory | So i'm running Ubuntu 7.04 with a Radeon 9600 and just found out that the ATI proprietary driver breaks MythTV, so I switched to the OS driver but TV Out now totally doesn't work... I know this is a bit of a n00b question, but maybe someone could point me at a good walkthrough for getting this setup properly? | 03:44 |
| Phantombun | i did manual | 03:44 |
| corruptionoflulz | c0Ld: the resize slider should be there up at the top, and then the other options he mentioned, manual is a bit different | 03:44 |
| LiMaO | deniz__: guess you have to upgrade to 7.10 to have compizconfig-settings-manager | 03:44 |
| artii | hello | 03:44 |
| LiMaO | tntCry: eating is fine, eating too much is not | 03:44 |
| corruptionoflulz | c0Ld: with manual you have to do the resizing and the swap yourself | 03:44 |
| tntCry | your better then scientists LiMaO :) or youmean eating is good for you and if some1 poses you a religion you will not like it because it doesnt satisfy you ? i can grasp on the edges of your lightened source. | 03:44 |
| ant- | LiMaO, i'm running 7.10 and there is no compizconfig-settings-manager | 03:45 |
| tntCry | ant-, you must download it !ccsm | 03:45 |
| deniz__ | there is on this link | 03:45 |
| tntCry | !ccsm | 03:45 |

| LiMaO | ant-: where there is no compizconfig-settings-manager? it's on synaptic | 03:45 |

| Phantombun | bleh | 03:45 |

| LiMaO | tntCry: actually eating is good as in it gives me satisfaction. i don't mean the clown diet though =P | 03:46 |
| deniz__ | but only for gutsy | 03:46 |
| emory | So i'm running Ubuntu 7.04 with a Radeon 9600 and just found out that the ATI proprietary driver breaks MythTV, so I switched to the OS driver but TV Out now totally doesn't work... I know this is a bit of a n00b question, but maybe someone could point me at a good walkthrough for getting this setup properly? | 03:46 |
| tntCry | guys read this amazing post requesting a feature in compiz http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5340 | 03:46 |
| corruptionoflulz | Am i the only one who thinks it's stupid how your pidgin stuff is under a folder named "purple"? | 03:46 |
| tntCry | LiMaO, maybe if we we're in camp or somethin me and you , we can have a bet and trust me int he end of the bet if you win you will say thanks for revealing this truth while i didnt know its true | 03:47 |
| burner__ | corruptionoflulz, i think it's cool that pidgin uses purple so you can use other frontends like finch and possibly an qt one | 03:47 |
| === burner__ is now known as burner | ||
| corruptionoflulz | burner: *whoosh* over my head. | 03:48 |
| deniz__ | how come things that work on edgy work on feisty but other apps dont work on other versiojns? im talkin bout opera web browser.. | 03:48 |
| LiMaO | tntCry: tell me, what's the thruth? | 03:48 |
| bernier | Hi, is it possible to compile fglrx on hardy even if hardy is not in the --buildpkg option? | 03:48 |
| deniz__ | anyway, i give up for today | 03:48 |
| corruptionoflulz | deniz__: wait, what about opera? works fine for me on 7.10 | 03:49 |
| tntCry | LiMaO, let go to !offtopic | 03:49 |
| deniz__ | corruptionoflulz, no i was just saying that there is an opera that works on both edgy and feisty, so y dont gutsy things work in feisty? | 03:49 |
| corruptionoflulz | deniz__: ah, dunno then. | 03:50 |
| deniz__ | o ya how do i use wine | 03:50 |
| deniz__ | i have it and ive never touched a video game for like over 6 months | 03:50 |
| deniz__ | and that makes me wanna cry | 03:50 |
| deniz__ | lol | 03:50 |
| ant- | deniz__, type 'wine program_name' | 03:51 |
| lousygarua | hello, do anyone has this funny issue where the Right Alt is not really an Alt? | 03:51 |
| thor | deniz__: you need the full path for most programs | 03:51 |
| ant- | deniz__, but first 'wine program_install' | 03:51 |
| deniz__ | were do i do this? | 03:52 |
| CubeXombi | is someone in here familiar with ir Remotes? I'm trying to use one with my laptop and xmms, though I'm having difficulty trying to determine the ir code length, "cat /dev/ttyS1" while pressing buttons only shows dummy characters, so i can't determine it that way | 03:52 |
| CubeXombi | and my google-fu is weak | 03:52 |
| ant- | deniz__, terminal | 03:52 |
| deniz__ | ant-, do i type that EXACTLY or i replace program with that i want to run? | 03:53 |
| DG19075 | deniz_, you can also run wine by typing 'winefile' in a terminal | 03:53 |
| crazy6 | how do I see what events acpid is catching? the brightness buttons on my laptop aren't working... | 03:53 |
| ant- | deniz__, the name of the program of course | 03:53 |
| deniz__ | but how will it guess? | 03:54 |
| deniz__ | like i have | 03:54 |
| ant- | deniz__, basically to use wine you just type 'wine' in front of the command | 03:54 |
| deniz__ | halo.iso on my hdd | 03:54 |
| DG19075 | you can the drag/drop Windows ssetup files to the virtuasl C drive and set em up there | 03:54 |
| deniz__ | ant-, so how would i install halo? | 03:54 |
| Archon | does anyone use MySQL? my question is whether I need the "debian-sys-maint@localhost" user account | 03:54 |
| ant- | deniz__, wine name-of-installer | 03:54 |
| DG19075 | terminal command then would be wine halo | 03:55 |
| jimbo | you meed to mount the iso ifrst if you havn't | 03:55 |
| ant- | deniz__, you need to write the .iso to a disk of course | 03:55 |
| deniz__ | ant-, sry for being stupid but how do i no the name of the installer? | 03:55 |
| Clearze1 | Archon: You first should set a root password and then make a user account. phpmyadmin is a good tool. | 03:55 |
| racarter | how do i change my computer name in ubuntu? | 03:55 |
| jimbo | or mount it via t loopback | 03:55 |
| jimbo | -t | 03:55 |
| ant- | deniz__, better to write it to disk if you have one | 03:56 |
| Archon | Clearze1: well, i've got it working, but i've personally never used that account | 03:56 |
| Archon | Clearze1: but i don't want to delete it if i don't need it | 03:56 |
| deniz__ | ant-, cant i just mount it? | 03:56 |
| deniz__ | ant-, i have no cd's... | 03:56 |
| Clearze1 | Archon: you log into mysql with that user. You don't want to login as root. | 03:56 |
| Clearze1 | Archon: if that is what you mean | 03:57 |
| ant- | deniz__, i think you saw what jimbo wrote | 03:57 |
| Archon | Clearze1: ehh, i've been using root >.> | 03:57 |
| Archon | but | 03:57 |
| Archon | only for DDL | 03:57 |
| thor | racarter: edit the file /etc/hosts | 03:57 |
| Archon | Clearze1: eventually, i wont use root when the database(s) that i create for my own purposes are done and secure | 03:57 |
| racarter | thanks thor | 03:57 |
| Clearze1 | Archon: phpmyadmin is a good webbased tool that will help you a lot with mysql. It's helped me a lot. Anyway, I would keep the user. | 03:58 |
| thor | racarter: you can also use the command hostname | 03:58 |
| pjeide | Archon: phpMyAdmin is very good | 03:58 |
| deniz__ | ant-, so i mount then i do "wine halo"? | 03:58 |
| pjeide | easy to set up | 03:58 |
| crazy6 | gah, why doesnt this thing work?? | 03:58 |
| ant- | deniz__, the name of the file used to install halo | 03:58 |
| ant- | deniz__, it may be halo, but i dunno | 03:59 |
| corruptionoflulz | a lot of times, it'll show in your wine menu too | 04:00 |
| DG19075 | is using Wine to run Adobe audition 1.5 | 04:00 |
| deniz__ | ant-, i think it would be like halo combat evolved | 04:01 |
| deniz__ | ant-, omg im so stupid | 04:01 |
| deniz__ | ant-, is there a specific program i need to mount halo.iso? | 04:01 |
| ant- | deniz__, you say that like its a good thing | 04:02 |
| deniz__ | ant-, its not | 04:02 |
| usser | deniz__, no u can just use mount command | 04:02 |
| DG19075 | the only thing i can't get is that the transport keys don't fill the squares as they do in Windows | 04:02 |
| ant- | deniz__, mount | 04:02 |
| deniz__ | my halo.iso is on the desktop | 04:02 |
| deniz__ | so wat would be the exact command? | 04:02 |
| ant- | heh | 04:02 |
| usser | deniz__, something like that mount ~/Desktop/myiso.iso /mnt -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop0 | 04:02 |
| DG19075 | so it's hard to see the key functions | 04:03 |
| Clearze1 | usser:There isn't a equal sign | 04:03 |
| usser | deniz__, put sudo in front and substitute myiso.iso with the actual name | 04:03 |
| ubuntu_ | a | 04:03 |
| deniz__ | usser, k, thx | 04:03 |
| usser | Clearze1, ? | 04:04 |
| DG19075 | anyone else run into this problem? | 04:04 |
| usser | Clearze1, well i suppose -o loop would work to | 04:04 |
| QuasarRichter | LINUX OR WINDOWS!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??! | 04:05 |
| donkeyofdarkness | linux ftw | 04:06 |
| deniz__ | usser, i did that but how do i no if its successful, on computer it doesnt show a halo disc | 04:06 |
| cps1966 | alway LINUX | 04:06 |
| smultron | if you play games, Windows. otherwise, Linux | 04:06 |
| donkeyofdarkness | yep | 04:06 |
| donkeyofdarkness | osx is good for itunes and stuff | 04:06 |
| deniz__ | linux is the best, open source is best, etc, in my opinion | 04:07 |
| usser | deniz__, now u can go to places->computer->filesystem->/mnt | 04:07 |
| usser | deniz__, cd is there | 04:07 |
| donkeyofdarkness | !botsnack | 04:07 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 04:07 |
| deniz__ | usser, im in computer filesystems mnt and i c halo stuff | 04:08 |
| deniz__ | usser, so that means sucess right? | 04:08 |
| MagickalHack | Anyone here know about multi-card readers? | 04:09 |
| usser | deniz__, yes if u see it then its mounted | 04:09 |
| poogle | anyone able to get sound working on a realtek ide 268 card? | 04:09 |
| deniz__ | usser, so now wat do i do in terminal to get wine to run it? | 04:09 |
| usser | deniz__, wine setup.exe i guess | 04:09 |
| usser | deniz__, or wine install.exe | 04:09 |
| Ashfire908 | MagickalHack, yes in windows they never seem to have the right drive letter and name lol. | 04:10 |
| PirateHead | I'm having a problem with OOo's export to PDF function. It's not exporting my quotes (") or dashes (-). | 04:10 |
| Ashfire908 | MagickalHack, just ask. | 04:10 |
| PirateHead | If I print to PostScript and use ps2pdf to convert it to PDF, the quotes and dashes work just fine. | 04:10 |
| owen1_ | i was disconnected, someone helped me with my router/nginx issue.... | 04:10 |

| thor | Wrec: I think it means the library referenced in the previous line is missing (-L<library> | 04:11 |
| deniz__ | usser, i see setup.exe | 04:12 |
| Ashfire908 | MagickalHack, what doesn't work? | 04:12 |
| deniz__ | usser, so wine setup.exe? | 04:12 |
| usser | deniz__, yep | 04:12 |

| MagickalHack | Yeah. | 04:14 |
| slaytanic | What can I use to capture images from my webcam? | 04:14 |
| thor | Wrec: you have to first look at the previous line and figure out what is missing, then find the package that offers that library. Google can usually lead you to the right package | 04:14 |
| Ashfire908 | MagickalHack, what is the model (of the reader) | 04:14 |

| Wrec | thor: I am as well | 04:17 |
| donkeyofdarkness | no | 04:17 |

| slaytanic | uKKeMan: Looks good, thanks. | 04:17 |
| uKKeMan | slaytanic, no problem | 04:17 |
| Wrec | thor: yeah, it's very odd | 04:17 |
| thor | Wrec: I would edit the make file and get rid of that last -L | 04:17 |
| thor | Wrec: worth a shot | 04:18 |
| Wrec | thor: k, be right back | 04:18 |
| ant- | thor, i bet the last directory got cut off in the copy/paste | 04:18 |

| thor | ant-: possibility...I can only go on what he sends <smile> | 04:19 |
| thor | ant-: but the error fits | 04:20 |
| DG19075 | this will give you the u7fixit.tar | 04:20 |

| Flannel | AdioHyperion: Its a terminal program you can use to do partitioning from the terminal | 04:33 |
| AdioHyperion | okay | 04:33 |
| Caplain | well i have 4 ethernet adapters in my box which is acting as a bridge, 1 is wireless and connects to the router for the internet, i can ping it from the box, i can ping my bridge from my client but i cant ping the router from my client | 04:33 |

| AdioHyperion | this? | 04:33 |
| donkeyofdarkness | orly? | 04:34 |
| Mr_Awesom1 | rly | 04:34 |
| Flannel | AdioHyperion: Its already installed but yes. | 04:34 |
| donkeyofdarkness | :o | 04:34 |
| Tixer | how do I see what HDD's are connected? | 04:34 |
| Flannel | Tixer: sudo fdisk -l | 04:34 |
| Flannel | Tixer: thats a lower case L | 04:35 |
| AdioHyperion | my slave drive shows up when i do that btw | 04:35 |
| donkeyofdarkness | slave | 04:35 |
| donkeyofdarkness | o_O | 04:35 |
| ant- | heh | 04:35 |
| donkeyofdarkness | That's why I like sata | 04:35 |
| Tixer | does fdisk -l list USB drives? | 04:35 |
| donkeyofdarkness | no jumpers needed | 04:35 |
| donkeyofdarkness | just plug em all in and pick which one to boot from in the bios | 04:36 |
| donkeyofdarkness | :) | 04:36 |
| WorkingOnWise | something has consumed all the free space on my coputer. how can I find out what has done it and here the space is taken what file(s) are using it? The last time I had this problem it was a problem with beagle but that was back with Ubuntu 7.04 herd 3 if I remember. I removed beagle and the problem was fixed. My immediate problem, at least based on last time, it that if I shut down with 0 space on/ I wont be able to log in | 04:36 |
| Bonste1 | any1 no how to compile from source? | 04:36 |
| donkeyofdarkness | yeah | 04:37 |
| donkeyofdarkness | ./configure | 04:37 |
| donkeyofdarkness | make | 04:37 |
| donkeyofdarkness | make install | 04:37 |
| donkeyofdarkness | usually | 04:37 |
| AdioHyperion | i downloaded the parted thing... no idea how to use it lol | 04:37 |
| Flannel | Tixer: no, I dont believe so. Try lsusb and/or check your /dev/sda's (although those will be all your HDDs now) | 04:37 |
| Flannel | !compile | Bonste1 | 04:37 |
| ubotu | Bonste1: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 04:37 |
| donkeyofdarkness | hmm | 04:38 |
| donkeyofdarkness | !ipod | 04:38 |
| AdioHyperion | ./configure command not found | 04:38 |
| ubotu | For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod | 04:38 |
| AdioHyperion | any idea? | 04:38 |
| Flannel | AdioHyperion: parted is already installed on your system, you dont need to download it | 04:38 |
| DG19075 | !rockbox | 04:38 |
| ubotu | rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! | 04:38 |

| spiffman | WorkingOnWise: did you try disk usage analyzer? | 04:39 |
| ryzomeYO | can someone help a ubuntu newb, please? | 04:39 |
| Flannel | AdioHyperion: It doesn't matter. It's in your path. just `sudo parted whatever` | 04:39 |
| AdioHyperion | ok | 04:39 |
| AdioHyperion | sry for the stupidity... first time with linux | 04:40 |
| Flannel | AdioHyperion: No worries. We all have to learn sooner or later | 04:40 |
| donkeyofdarkness | I've got a 3rd gen ipod nano. not supported yet | 04:40 |
| AdioHyperion | so put sudo parted /dev/hdb | 04:40 |
| AdioHyperion | ? | 04:40 |
| WorkingOnWise | spiffman: will it show who is using what? | 04:40 |
| trwww | iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --syn -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j ACCEPT | 04:40 |
| trwww | this rule will Accept all traffic from a specific machine with IP x.x.x.x | 04:41 |
| spiffman | WorkingOnWise: it will show what applications/files/folders are using more of the disk than others. just go to applications->accessories->disk usage analyzer, it should be there | 04:41 |
| trwww | does anyone know if a hostname will work in place of the ip address? | 04:41 |
| Bonste1 | donkeyofdarkness: hey can u help me compile this ps2 emulator http://www.pcsx2.net/downloads.php | 04:41 |
| brianw_ | trwww: no | 04:41 |

| spiffman | WorkingOnWise: in terminal type jobs... does it show up there? | 04:45 |
| AdioHyperion | i am using parted and making a new partition | 04:45 |
| WorkingOnWise | spiffman: the closest I can get to a terminal in this state is Alt-F2. I can see all my running processes with System Monitor... | 04:46 |
| AdioHyperion | i chose ext2 | 04:46 |
| usser | AdioHyperion, ext3 would be a better choice | 04:46 |
| Varanger | I recently upgraded my Internet to 1500 kbps!!! I am downloading very fast!!! | 04:46 |
| usser | AdioHyperion, or reiserfs | 04:46 |
| AdioHyperion | what is the start and end? | 04:46 |
| usser | Varanger, Kilobytes? | 04:47 |
| meeper | anybody, anybody at all? | 04:47 |

| apocn_ | hello, how can I connect to an ipsec vpn? what vpn client do you recomend? | 04:47 |

| apocn_ | ok | 04:47 |
| spiffman | WorkingOnWise: alt-f2 is only an application launcher, it wont do anything if you can't launch any applications... lol what exactly is happening on your comp? | 04:48 |
| usser | Varanger, oh lol, i got 1.5Mbps :) | 04:48 |
| === clever is now known as clever[rev] | ||
| AdioHyperion | i hate to pop you bubble... but 1500kbps is slow | 04:48 |
| jimbo | <AdioHyperion> you could add a journal and turn your ext2 partition into a ext3 one | 04:48 |
| Leonord | i have 4mbps and it's too damn slow ! | 04:48 |
| cm_ | hi, i'm looking to install ubuntu on my new mac mini ... should i download the install for a "standard personal computer" or "64 AMD and Intel computers"? ... it'll probably go without saying, but i'm a total newbie to this ... all i know about my cpu is that it's 1.83 GHx Intel Core 2 Duo | 04:48 |
| AdioHyperion | have 6mbps and about to get 10mbps | 04:48 |
| Leonord | *bandwidth envy* | 04:49 |
| peepsalot | does anyone know any GUI cvs app besides gcvs? | 04:49 |
| AdioHyperion | anyways... what is the start and end making a partition | 04:49 |
| DG19075 | *extreme bandwidth eny* | 04:49 |
| Varanger | sorry... I meant 1.5 Mbps = 150 KB / sec for me!! | 04:49 |
| darkentity | does anyone here use azureus on ubuntu? | 04:49 |
| WorkingOnWise | spiffman: something has consumed all space on / , and in that state, you cant log into anything, most apps wont launch. I need to find out what is eating drive space. | 04:50 |
| donkeyofdarkness | azureus is really buggy for me | 04:51 |
| donkeyofdarkness | so I use ktorrent | 04:51 |
| peepsalot | Varanger, 1.5Mbps = 187.5 KBps | 04:51 |
| slaytanic | I use deluge, it's a good bittorrent client. | 04:51 |
| jimbo | transmission is nice too | 04:51 |
| AdioHyperion | i download at almost 800 kb/s | 04:51 |
| ubuntu_ | buggy means? | 04:51 |
| brianw_ | anyone here use bluetooth pan w/ a ppc phone? | 04:51 |
| donkeyofdarkness | crashing | 04:52 |
| Varanger | peepsalot: For me, it's just 154 KBps :( | 04:52 |
| AdioHyperion | could someone please tell me what the start and end is when making a new partition so i can finish | 04:52 |
| donkeyofdarkness | I dun remember why | 04:52 |
| spiffman | WorkingOnWise: I would probably try deleting/compressing what i can just to get disk usage analyzer to work, but someone else might have a better answer :P | 04:52 |
| peepsalot | i get about 4Mbps or 500KB/s | 04:52 |
| donkeyofdarkness | ktorrent seems a lot more stable. | 04:52 |
| AdioHyperion | i use utorrent | 04:53 |
| AdioHyperion | love it | 04:53 |
| donkeyofdarkness | I use azureus on mac and windows | 04:53 |
| spiffman | azureus on ubuntu was really unstable for me too | 04:53 |
| donkeyofdarkness | It was ok on feisty | 04:54 |
| jdt | hi, is there a simple explaination as to why Ubuntu Gutsy would not recognise all 4Gb RAM on a MacPro? (2 x 2Gb) | 04:54 |
| AdioHyperion | i still need to know what the start and end is when making a new partition | 04:54 |
| donkeyofdarkness | jdt, yes | 04:54 |
| jdt | It only recognises 2Gb | 04:54 |
| Varanger | peepsalot: that's a lot... I remembered when I used to download at 1.5 KBps (14400 modem) and when I upgraded to 57.6 modem... 5.7 KBps just 4 years ago | 04:54 |
| donkeyofdarkness | Are you running a 32bit OS? | 04:54 |
| donkeyofdarkness | a 32 bit os will not be able to use it all | 04:55 |
| jdt | donkeyofdarkness: yes, the 32 bit version | 04:55 |
| peepsalot | Varanger, yeah i once had a 2400 bps too ;-) good ol Prodigy | 04:55 |

| donkeyofdarkness | I have a box with 4GBs ram and a 32 bit OS will only use like 3.2GBs | 04:55 |
| spiffman | is there a limit to ram for 64-bit? | 04:55 |
| andhi | haiii | 04:56 |
| donkeyofdarkness | I'm sure there is a limit for 64 bit but it's probably an insanely high number | 04:56 |
| usser | spiffman, in 64 bit the limit is 2^64 power | 04:56 |
| darkentity | does anyone use azureus on ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| timsandtoms | Hey guys, quick question. I have the Maya CD, which of these do I use to install it? http://i2.tinypic.com/6ljonxz.png | 04:56 |
| Dr_willis | 64bit i think is like 16 petabytes or somthing like that | 04:57 |
| AdioHyperion | would someone explain to me what the start and end mean when making a new partition | 04:57 |
| peepsalot | darkentity, i tried a while ago, but the package was constantly broken | 04:57 |
| peepsalot | did they ever fix it? | 04:57 |
| donkeyofdarkness | = O | 04:57 |
| donkeyofdarkness | my board only supports 8 GBs :( | 04:57 |
| brianw_ | AdioHyperion: the blocks | 04:57 |
| AdioHyperion | how do i know what i need to set mine to | 04:58 |
| trwww | brianw_: thanks! | 04:58 |
| darkentity | peepsalot: it works but the vuze interface is not there...i want it the way u would get as windows where u could download all there videos | 04:58 |
| usser | AdioHyperion, its precisely what it is start is the address at which the partition starts ends where it ends | 04:58 |
| jdt | donkeyofdarkness: Thanks for the quick answer... I will give the 64bit download version a go. Out of curiosity, what is the reason for the limit? | 04:58 |
| DG19075 | 2^64= 18446744073709551616 | 04:58 |
| Dr_willis | AdioHyperion, you can have more then 1 parittion. they can start at different locations on the hard drive. and thus end at different spots. if you want ot use the whole drive use the start of the hd. and the end of the hd. you get a single partition then | 04:58 |
| brianw_ | AdioHyperion: use cfdisk | 04:58 |
| brianw_ | AdioHyperion: and just set the MB or you want it to be... | 04:58 |
| darkentity | does anyone know how to get that vuze interface on azureus ...does it even exist for ubuntu? | 04:58 |
| Dr_willis | AdioHyperion, you may also want to check out gparted, with fdisk you can select the start of the partion then use +100gb to make the end be 100gb later. | 04:59 |
| MagickalHack | Do xD cards work with Ubuntu? | 04:59 |
| jimbo | timsandtoms: you can use alien to install rpms, find out about it by typing "apt-cache show alien" | 04:59 |

| AdioHyperion | .... | 05:00 |
| MagickalHack | timsandtoms that would be in terminal | 05:00 |
| brianw_ | AdioHyperion: :) | 05:00 |
| spiffman | timsandtoms: .rpm is for redhat linux, like fedora. ubuntu uses .deb package files, that's why you have to use alien to convert the .rpm to .deb | 05:00 |
| AdioHyperion | tixer... are they showing up using sudo fdisk -l | 05:00 |
| usser | Tixer, how do u figure? | 05:01 |
| jimbo | <timsandtoms> a terminal, if that yeild nothing, you could try "apt-cace search alien" | 05:01 |
| AdioHyperion | -l mean lower case L | 05:01 |
| timsandtoms | MagickalHack: Ah, ok, thanks :) | 05:01 |

| usser | Creationist, find the section with resolutions and find the line that starts with 24 and put whatever resolution u use first | 05:06 |
| timsandtoms | spiffman: Ok, thanks, ill go read that | 05:06 |
| usser | Creationist, gdm picks up the first resolution it sees | 05:07 |

| spiffman | Creationist: that's aptitude, not synaptic | 05:14 |
| CyberMad | Creationist i want to set up some virtual machine with Windows XP OS (genuine), then i enable the Remote Desktop feature | 05:14 |

| pgan | Is it possible to resize a FAT32 partition without losing the data that is on it? | 05:15 |

| Shadow147 | CyberMad I have used Vmware it's configuration process is a pain in the ass | 05:16 |
| Les_Caesars | pgan: as much as I know, there shouldn't be any problem at all | 05:16 |
| CyberMad | Does VirtualBox, support auto start? i mean auto start the virtual box, and all defined guest OS (XP) | 05:16 |
| Palintheus | pgan: if it was a windows partition defrag several times prior to resizing | 05:16 |
| Shadow147 | I might try virtualbox myself | 05:16 |
| CyberMad | so no need to start it manually | 05:16 |
| usser | Shadow147, not really its not that hard | 05:16 |
| spiffman | Creationist: oh! that makes sense, i thought there were two different package managers | 05:16 |
| Creationist | CyberMad: It can be done, but I've never tried it. | 05:16 |
| CyberMad | actually i want install it on ubuntu-server, so there is no XWindow or graphical interface | 05:16 |
| pgan | Can it be done with parted or fdisk? | 05:16 |
| Creationist | spiffman: Nope. Even in KDE (Kubuntu) you use Adept for the GUI package manager. But that too actually uses apt-get ;) | 05:16 |
| WorkingOnWise | CyberMad: I use VB...love it, but it is No Good At All for any kind of 3d work. | 05:17 |
| Dr_willis | pgan, not with fdisk. parted, or gparted can. | 05:17 |
| Palintheus | pgan: can what be done defragging or resizing the partition? | 05:17 |
| spiffman | Creationist: so what does add-remove programs do differently from synaptic, other than look nicer? | 05:17 |
| CyberMad | btw, how to configure / install the guest os? on vmware use vmware console,... hmmm how about virtualbox ? | 05:17 |
| Shadow147 | CyberMad which VMware may work with | 05:17 |
| command0-182 | This is what it says what I use "Update Manger" ; "Could not download all repository indexes | 05:17 |
| AdioHyperion | would some one help me!!! i have spent two freakin days trying to format this dam hard drive to ext | 05:17 |
| command0-182 | The repository might be no longer available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences." | 05:17 |
| dion | greetings, how can i get my virtualbox to allow online games, it lets me use internet fine for browsing | 05:17 |
| Creationist | spiffman: Add/Remove just is a simpler interface... nothing more. It, too, uses apt-get underneath ;) | 05:17 |
| timsandtoms | For Maya, the guide someone gave me to install it says I need to copy the RPMs and then convert them. When I copy them, it says cannot be copied because I dont have the permissions to read it. what do i do? | 05:17 |
| Les_Caesars | Even though I have wine installed, when I double click on .exe's, I get this popup telling me to rename the file to *.exe and/or use "open with" | 05:17 |
| Shadow147 | !vmware | 05:17 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 05:17 |
| spiffman | Creationist: thanks! | 05:18 |
| Dr_willis | Les_Caesars, with wine. i find it often better to use the terminal 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe' In case any error messages are generated. | 05:18 |
| Shadow147 | CyberMad | !vmware | 05:18 |
| pgan | Palintheus: both, I guess. What can I use in Linux to defrag? | 05:18 |
| Palintheus | AdioHyperion: I have never used cfdisk, you can try a different partition manager, qparted or similar | 05:18 |
| Palintheus | pgan: not sure never had to do it in linux | 05:18 |
| CyberMad | Shadow147 well, i already successfull setup vmware-server with 1 XP as guest os and it can autostart, but after do some google looks like many people recommend VirtualBox than VMware, that's why i need second opinion from #ubuntu | 05:18 |
| WorkingOnWise | CyberMad: I use Ubuntu 7.10 as host, WinXP Home as guest for Offive 2007 enterprise. I give the vm 512MB of ram and 64mb of video ram. I do this on a turion x2 1.6 and 1GB ram....it is reasonably useful but I would rather do it with 4GB | 05:18 |
| brad016 | how do I unpack .nrg files | 05:18 |
| riotkittie | pgan: what are you wanting to defrag? | 05:18 |
| Creationist | CyberMad: If you install Virtual Box, trust me.... the setup is incredibly simple. It walks you through the entire process of setting up your guest OSes | 05:18 |
| AdioHyperion | i tried to use parted but no one would tell me how to figure out the start and end | 05:19 |
| bullgard4 | Why does Ubuntu 7.10 on one laptop computer (5 s after the first) INIT process a second one but not on my second laptop computer? | 05:19 |
| dion | thanx | 05:19 |
| AdioHyperion | people get me started on something then never respond! | 05:19 |
| AnYoNeSNM | hello | 05:19 |
| spiffman | lol | 05:19 |
| anggarda | Good Day, #ubuntu. Could anyone recommend me a method to back up whole disk drives to tape. | 05:19 |
| AnYoNeSNM | somebody used asterisk ? | 05:19 |
| Les_Caesars | Dr_willis: well, I'm willing to turn a deaf ear for the convenience of having the computer do what I expected when I double-click a file | 05:19 |
| === pipegeek_ is now known as pipegeek | ||
| Dr_willis | AdioHyperion, it all depends on what you want to do. the start is the cylinder # you want to begin at.. and end is where you want to stop. Gpartd is a nice gui front end to ease your partitioning tasks. | 05:20 |
| CyberMad | Creationist ok, the important question.. anyway i don't really care about the difficulty about installation. How about the performance? stability? does VirtualBox is the winner? | 05:20 |
| Creationist | anggarda: They still make tape drives? ll | 05:20 |
| webpirate | hello all... | 05:20 |
| pgan | riotkittie: a formatted in FAT32, which has valuable data on it | 05:20 |
| Les_Caesars | how do I go about getting rid of the error? | 05:20 |
| CyberMad | if yes, then i'll go to VirtualBox and remove the vmware | 05:20 |
| webpirate | does anyone have any Ideas to to lower CPU usage for DVD playback on nvidia 420 go | 05:20 |
| Dr_willis | Les_Caesars, problem i find with double clicking on .exe's is that often wine will crash or report some error and peopel end up just sitting there staring at the screen. :) | 05:20 |
| DG19075 | I'm running Adobe Audition 1.5 under Wine, and notice th transport buttons don't fill their squares as they do under Windows. I have Wine mimicking XP. Anyone have this problem? | 05:20 |
| CyberMad | because it will run 24/7 | 05:20 |
| AnYoNeSNM | win95 its some thing :) | 05:20 |
| AnYoNeSNM | the bets ting. | 05:20 |
| Creationist | CyberMad: I never was able to get vmware going so I gave up and went to VirtualBox. I never had ANY performance issues with WinXP.... however, I've had a LOT of trouble running Linux as a guest OS. | 05:20 |
| AnYoNeSNM | life win95 | 05:20 |
| webpirate | I used to use about 10% cpu before formating now ubuntu wants 40 | 05:21 |
| AnYoNeSNM | format c: ? ;) | 05:21 |
| WorkingOnWise | CyberMad: for me, xp is able...just slow.hurt for ram when runnung any Office app, but is still st | 05:21 |
| Dr_willis | Les_Caesars, i normally test out a program in wine from the terminal, then if it works i make a script that launches it. then i can always click on the script. or run the script from a terminal. | 05:21 |
| CyberMad | Creationist well, i use the XP too.. | 05:21 |
| Agent | i have a warzone2100 game when i load a game is crashs, how do i fix it ? | 05:21 |
| Shadow147 | I had no problem running linux under vmwaree | 05:21 |
| command0-182 | For some reason I haven't been able to access any of my repositories "http://archive.ubuntu.com/" & "http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/" | 05:21 |
| anggarda | Creationist, yes tape drives are very much alive and well in any organisations which are sarbanes-oxley compliant | 05:21 |
| infinitycircuit | does anyone know if a kernel being compiled to optimize battery life on a laptop should use a kernel with preemption enabled or with preemption disabled? | 05:21 |
| Creationist | Shadow147: I can't even load the Ubuntu Live CD ISO in VirtualBox... | 05:21 |
| CyberMad | ok, thanks a lot for discussion.. i will test it right now | 05:22 |
| Les_Caesars | Dr_willis: well fortunately, that's not a problem I care about. The popups shouldn't be coming up anyway. They basically say "this doesn't have .exe at the end, so I won't run it" even though the files do. | 05:22 |
| command0-182 | Any reason why Synaptic can't connect to the web | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | ive had lots of issues testing out live cd's in virtualbox. | 05:22 |
| webpirate | what is the average CPU usage on 420 go? | 05:22 |
| command0-182 | Any reason why Synaptic can't connect to the web? | 05:22 |
| DM| | Creationist how much ram do u have dedicated to the Vbox? | 05:22 |
| CyberMad | just download the http://www.virtualbox.org/download/1.5.2/virtualbox_1.5.2-25433_Ubuntu_gutsy_i386.deb right? then dpkg -i virtualbox_1.5.2-25433_Ubuntu_gutsy_i386.deb ?? | 05:22 |
| Creationist | DM|: I've tried 256 and 512 | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | Les_Caesars, is the .exe in LOWER case? never noticed if thats an issue or not. but linux is case senestive. | 05:22 |
| DM| | Creationist tried a different disk? | 05:22 |
| AdioHyperion | i am assuming start would be 1 right? | 05:22 |
| bullgard4 | Why does Ubuntu 7.10 start on one laptop computer 5 s after the first a second INIT process but not on my second laptop computer? | 05:22 |
| riotkittie | command0-182: have you tried different repos? your preferred repo may be down ... or ... | 05:22 |
| Les_Caesars | Dr_willis: it is lower cased. Let me try other cases to see if that changes anything. | 05:23 |
| Creationist | DM|: I've tried several different distros.... none will load | 05:23 |
| AdioHyperion | what is the end point? | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | AdioHyperion, or 0 normally you just hit enter and it selects the end | 05:23 |
| Palintheus | command0-182: can you run 'sudo apt-get update' and pastebin the output? | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | AdioHyperion, at least thats how fdisk normally works. | 05:23 |
| webpirate | can different versions of libdvdcss use more CPU? | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | AdioHyperion, assuming you want the whole disk. | 05:23 |
| DM| | Creationist , i dedicated 256 ram to a Vbox for live CD and it runs great for me, so .. im thinking u have bad CDs, | 05:23 |
| Creationist | CyberMad: VirtualBox is in the Ubuntu repos. sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose | 05:23 |
| DM| | or a REALLY slow pc | 05:23 |
| CyberMad | wow.. the VirtualBox is very small.. compare to vmware > 100MB | 05:23 |
| Agent | who here can tell me why warzone2100 game crashs when loading a game ? | 05:23 |
| Creationist | DM|: I use the ISOs, not actual CDs | 05:24 |
| AdioHyperion | i put 0 for start and when i leave end blank | 05:24 |
| AdioHyperion | it just goes to the next line | 05:24 |
| AdioHyperion | end? | 05:24 |
| AdioHyperion | end? | 05:24 |
| Palintheus | Agent: depends on what error its giving you | 05:24 |
| CyberMad | Creationist ahh.. ok, better use apt-get install ;) easy to remove | 05:24 |
| DM| | creationist replace CD with ISO and could still have the same problem | 05:24 |
| CyberMad | if something problem come | 05:24 |
| matthewpoer | I'm attempting to connect my Etch system to my blackberry, but it seems impossible to pair the devices together. I have set the passkey in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf as well as /etc/bluetooth/pin. Still they cannot connect. | 05:24 |
| idiosync | how to run as root | 05:24 |
| DM| | Creationist what specs are u running | 05:24 |
| Dr_willis | AdioHyperion, you using cfdisk? or fdis? or what exactly? | 05:24 |
| Creationist | !sudo | idiosync | 05:24 |
| ubotu | idiosync: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 05:24 |
| Les_Caesars | Dr_willis: aha! that was indeed the problem. Ok. now I want to associate every possible combination of .ExE to wine by hand. Where do I go to associate file suffixes with programs? | 05:24 |
| DM| | idiosync I will tell you, but what for? | 05:24 |
| AdioHyperion | i am using parted | 05:24 |
| anggarda | anyone, with experience of backing up whole partitions to tape? | 05:24 |
| Agent | Palintheus:is doesn't give a error it just showdown the game. | 05:24 |
| Creationist | DM|: Oh crap, yeah... I should have asked him that first. | 05:25 |
| Palintheus | Agent: you can run it from a terminal to see if it will spit out an error there | 05:25 |
| AdioHyperion | unless you can walk me step by step through something else | 05:25 |
| DM| | Creationist :) | 05:25 |
| Agent | Palintheus:remind me how to do that. | 05:25 |
| CyberMad | do you know what is file manager, but i can do management file (backup, restore, etc) as root ? | 05:25 |
| DM| | bbl | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | Les_Caesars, No idea on that. :) i tend to just lowercase my files.. of course i onlyu have a few .exe's i ever use. | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | Les_Caesars, at least you found the main issue. | 05:26 |
| matt5 | Hi, I'd like to do a rough clean-up, to sort of erase my private files and all (as I'm "donating" the laptop). Any tips on how I could do it easily/fast via command-line, please? | 05:26 |
| Palintheus | Agent: find out what command the launcher runs, then open a terminal and run the command | 05:26 |
| WorkingOnWise | how can I purge the apt cache? | 05:26 |
| command0-182 | Okay I ran "sudo apt-get update" and this is what it says; http://pastebin.com/m7b572f1c | 05:26 |
| Les_Caesars | Dr_willis: Yup, and thanks for that | 05:26 |
| AdioHyperion | please help! | 05:26 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, just sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archive | 05:26 |
| Creationist | command0-182: Man, you screwed something up bad. | 05:27 |
| timsandtoms | command0-182: Go into Add/Remove or Synaptic or w/e, and check all the boxes to let you download from all the different sources | 05:27 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, just sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archive/* | 05:27 |
| penyu | <tyang> | 05:27 |
| Palintheus | command0-182: it looks like its trying to connect to a port on your own computer vs an outside url | 05:27 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, sorry the last one | 05:27 |
| Palintheus | not sure though | 05:27 |
| timsandtoms | command0-182: I had the same problem, same results, yesterday | 05:27 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, theres a dir in archive called partial that will get deleted | 05:27 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, so u need to do sudo mkdir /var/cache/apt/archive/partial | 05:28 |
| ridge-meister | is there any software on linux that can take a movie file and produce thumbnails from it? | 05:28 |
| WorkingOnWise | usser: apt will not freak if I do that? I need the disk space back. | 05:28 |
| Dr_willis | AdioHyperion, if you are just making new parittions. on a new hd. fdisk, or cfdisk will do that task easy.. Parted has a lot of extra/power user features you proberly dont need. In fact ive never used parted from the command line. Just with gparted. | 05:28 |
| weltschmerz | how do i change the sound device in pulse audio? it's trying to use the usb instead of the default pci device. | 05:28 |
| command0-182 | "command0-182: Go into Add/Remove or Synaptic or w/e, and check all the boxes to let you download from all the different sources" - I have the boxes for different sources checked | 05:28 |
| Creationist | ridge-meister: As in, jpg thumbnails? Or in your file browser? | 05:28 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, yes it will, it'll complain that partial is missing | 05:28 |
| spiffman | can anyone point me to a solution for a cd-dvd drive that won't let me write to cd's, nor recognize blank disks? i know i asked already... if not i'll check back later | 05:28 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, but after u mkdir it back all should be fine | 05:29 |
| ridge-meister | Creationist: not sure what you meant by "in your file browser". but, yeah, jpg's would be great | 05:29 |
| timsandtoms | command0-182: ah, ok then. that fixed it for me, so i dunno | 05:29 |
| zandos | hey all.. how goes it | 05:29 |
| whatshisname | using ubuntu studio.. was wondering about a quick way to restore the default gnome panel layout.. | 05:29 |
| punsad | curious as to what irc client people are using in ubuntu | 05:29 |
| WorkingOnWise | usser: ty. Y is all the debs I have already installed still there? Seems a waste of space? | 05:29 |
| Palintheus | punsad: irssi | 05:29 |
| Creationist | ridge-meister: Only thing I can think of is to run the movie, take a screenshot, and resize it. I'm not sure if there's an automated application. | 05:30 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, actually hang on a sec dont do it | 05:30 |
| zandos | pidgin/xchat | 05:30 |
| spiffman | whatshisname: delete your configuration file... maybe ~/.gconf/desktop | 05:30 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, ah no go ahead it works i just tried it | 05:30 |
| whatshisname | thanks, spiffman, i'll try that.. | 05:30 |
| weltschmerz | how do i choose my audio device with pulseaudio? | 05:31 |
| zandos | anyone here have a synaptics touchpad on their ubuntu (gutsy) laptop? | 05:31 |
| WorkingOnWise | usser: doin it now... :) | 05:31 |
| punsad | Palintheus: is irssi curses based? | 05:31 |
| Palintheus | punsad: curses ::shrug:: irssi.org | 05:31 |
| Dr_willis | irssi has a cli/ncurses interface i beliuve. | 05:31 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, i donnu its probably done so that u wont have to download heavy stuff over the net all over again if later u decided to do reisntall | 05:32 |
| pgan | I have an external hard disk for backing up data from ext3 partitions and sometimes accessing it on Windows. What file system would you recommend? | 05:32 |
| zandos | i'll take that as a no | 05:32 |
| peepsalot | does anyone know what this means during an apt-get package install: "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" ? | 05:32 |
| punsad | pgan: what's the processor/speed/ram? | 05:32 |
| usser | pgan, its pretty safe to go with ntfs now | 05:32 |
| Dr_willis | pgan, windows can read/write ext2/3 with a add on tool.. but it all depends on what OS is going to be accessing it the most and what sort of data. | 05:32 |
| ridge-meister | Creationist, i'm no developer, but that would be a GREAT application for someone to create | 05:33 |
| Palintheus | peepsalot: no, but I have noticed its new since gutsy(iirc) | 05:33 |
| WorkingOnWise | usser: I guess that makes sense...but I have not neede to reinstall anything on Ubuntu, except to update, ever :) | 05:33 |
| Creationist | ridge-meister: I only see a use for such a thing in the porn industry.. | 05:33 |
| Creationist | ridge-meister: But good luck with that lol | 05:33 |
| command0-182 | Under Choose a Download Server I selected the Select Best Server and it told me that it could not find the internet | 05:33 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, :) | 05:33 |
| punsad | pgan: I'm using a 10 year old linux server with backuppc and have had less problems for some reason with ext2 than ext3 (it's a 400MHz system with 256MB ram) | 05:33 |
| peepsalot | Palintheus, apt-get often hangs after displaying this line | 05:33 |
| Palintheus | yeah briefly but haven't really looked into it | 05:34 |
| punsad | I've *never* had apt-get hang on me. | 05:34 |
| WorkingOnWise | usser: but in Windows, there have been times that the setup cd stayed in the drive for weeks :D | 05:35 |
| soldats | crazy since apt-get is insanely fast | 05:35 |
| command0-182 | Dose anyone know how I can fix this; http://pastebin.com/m7b572f1c | 05:35 |
| punsad | does anyone remember dselect? | 05:35 |
| bruenig | apt-get is not insanely fast | 05:35 |
| punsad | I loved that program | 05:35 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, hah i forgot already what its like to use windows | 05:35 |
| peepsalot | Palintheus, it doesn't hang briefly for me. it hangs indefinitely | 05:35 |
| pgan | Dr_willis: it will be mostly accessed on Linux, but I would want to be able to give it to someone who uses Windows to access the data. It would be better to go without installing a program on the Windows machine | 05:35 |
| Agent | Palintheus:first i type command warzone2100 it launches the game. then i get this error "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46310/plain/" | 05:35 |
| weltschmerz | how do i choose the audio device in pulseaudio? | 05:36 |
| peepsalot | bruenig, IME it is comapred to yum | 05:36 |
| Palintheus | Agent: can you pastebin the dump file? | 05:36 |
| punsad | dselect was great. it was my first introduction to the power of debian | 05:36 |
| bruenig | everything is faster than yum | 05:36 |
| peepsalot | hehe | 05:36 |
| Dr_willis | pgan, then use ntfs.. but accessing ntfs can have little issues here and there. Like not very easy to set up different permissions, and ownership. But if its just a mp3 shared disk or simieler. shouldent matter much. | 05:36 |
| usser | command0-182, wow weird stuff | 05:37 |
| WorkingOnWise | usser: I must still run it for some things, but now as a virtual machine, in it's own sandbox so if it doesn't play nice, I stil have a workstation! | 05:37 |
| Silmeria | so anyway, i still cant get my screen to go full screen :( | 05:37 |
| usser | command0-182, do host host us.archive.ubuntu.com | 05:37 |

| command0-182 | Can anyone help with this problem? My Synaptic and Update Manager can't connect to the web ;http://pastebin.com/m7b572f1c | 05:38 |
| WorkingOnWise | any ideas y System Monitor shows 3.2GB free but only 2.6 available? I thought free was available!! | 05:38 |
| bruenig | soldats, try pacman on arch | 05:38 |
| soldats | Silmeria, can you adjust your monitor with the buttons on the case | 05:38 |
| command0-182 | k | 05:38 |
| usser | command0-182, do host us.archive.ubuntu.com pastebin the output | 05:38 |
| Silmeria | soldats: i dont think so.... | 05:38 |
| bruenig | or even netpkg on zenwalk which is bash for crying out loud | 05:38 |
| Agent | Palintheus:i can, "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46311/plain/" | 05:38 |
| Silmeria | soldats: no there arent any buttons for moniter on teh case | 05:38 |
| soldats | Silmeria, hmm most monitors let you do that you should have some buttons on the front or the side | 05:39 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, memory? | 05:39 |
| Silmeria | soldats: it works fine in 7.10 but i installed 7.04 | 05:39 |
| Csaba | anyone using brasero here? | 05:39 |
| weltschmerz | how do i set the device for pulseaudio to use? | 05:39 |
| Silmeria | soldats: in screen resolution i only get two options as well | 05:39 |
| Silmeria | 800x600 and some other low option | 05:39 |
| peepsalot | is there a way to make firefox ask the download location for each file download? | 05:39 |
| soldats | bruenig, ahh i never used arch yet so i would be unsure of it sorry i was just merely making a statement because apt-get is a lot faster than using synaptic | 05:40 |
| Palintheus | sorry Agent can't help with that you may post to the forums and upload both of the pastebins then hope someone can help | 05:40 |

| soldats | Silmeria, you may need to run the command dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and configure it there | 05:41 |
| Agent | Palintheus:thank you for trying but am not going to that much.:-* | 05:41 |
| soldats | Silmeria, you can choose other resolutions | 05:41 |
| bruenig | soldats, oh faster than synaptic you say, I thought you were saying objectively that it was a really fast package manager. Of course it would be faster than synaptic seeing as synaptic is just a front end for apt-get and all but yeah, no harm. | 05:41 |
| bullgard4 | Why does Ubuntu 7.10 start on one laptop computer 5 s after the first INIT process a second one but none on my second laptop computer? | 05:41 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, yes but swap partition is slow so if theres available memory programs swap into physical memory | 05:41 |
| Silmeria | soldats: you mean with that command? | 05:41 |
| usser | WorkingOnWise, or so i've been lead to beieve | 05:42 |

| usser | WorkingOnWise, np glad to help | 05:43 |
| soldats | Silmeria, most options should just be default until you get to the resolution part then hit spacebar on the selections you want | 05:43 |
| Silmeria | i am doing it in terminal | 05:44 |
| soldats | Silmeria, yea | 05:44 |
| Silmeria | tehre is no default, it was blank | 05:44 |
| soldats | press enter on blank | 05:44 |
| Silmeria | it brought the line back up again | 05:44 |
| soldats | it should default itself | 05:44 |
| Silmeria | asking for it again | 05:44 |

| Csaba | if im installing a theme from a temp directory, are the files in use getting copied elsewere? | 05:49 |
| soldats | IanLiu, at least thats how i experienced it | 05:49 |

| CyberMad | looks like the ubuntu irc log not up-to-date.. | 06:01 |
| CyberMad | well i decide.. to re-ask my question: | 06:01 |
| CyberMad | what is the best file manager on ubuntu, so i can move files from user's directory to other.. i need file manager that can sudo or login as root | 06:02 |
| CyberMad | or su | 06:02 |
| soldats | why not use the default | 06:02 |
| Dr_willis | CyberMad, i tend to use 'mc' for my rooty stuff. :) since its also useable from the shell and over ssh. easially | 06:02 |
| Palintheus | CyberMad: alt-f2 > gksudo nautilus | 06:03 |
| CyberMad | Dr_willis does mc graphical user interface or need terminal ? | 06:03 |
| psycore | kiba dock does not dock on my taskbar instead in stay on-top of it. how to solve? | 06:03 |
| Dr_willis | CyberMad, sudo mc, do what needs to be done.. and close it out. :) using the gui file maager.. can.. cause issues.. if you forget which file manager window was started with root access. | 06:03 |
| Dr_willis | CyberMad, mc is a text based/ncurses interface. | 06:03 |
| CyberMad | thanks all.. i'll test thema all | 06:03 |
| Dr_willis | !info mc | 06:03 |
| sahil | where can i get the alpha 1 for hardy heron | 06:03 |
| Dr_willis | mc is darn handy at times. :P | 06:03 |
| ubotu | mc: midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:4.6.1-7ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 2058 kB, installed size 5944 kB | 06:04 |
| kakoonia | psycore: use avant-window-navigator , its better! using less memory also.. | 06:04 |
| psycore | kakoonia: where do I get it? can u give me the code? (noob here, just switch to linux 2 days ago) | 06:05 |
| Palintheus | Dr_willis: the icons are different on the root file manager you open, you can also set a different background color so that it will look drastically different, at least thats what I do | 06:06 |
| harushimo | some how my update manager how would be able to fix it | 06:07 |
| harushimo | I know its sudo apt-get install: but the last part I'm not able to get | 06:07 |

| soldats | im not in the same situation but thats how i usually tell its root | 06:08 |
| psycore | kakoonia: thanks | 06:08 |
| Palintheus | yes, for the record mine says root | 06:09 |
| kakoonia | np | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | Palintheus, i see people in here all the time that want root's stuff to have the same theme as their user.:) i normally set root to have a BRIGHT RED theme. | 06:09 |
| Palintheus | HA! me too!! | 06:09 |

| robert__ | hi there i am running gusty and have X running but was wondering how to get the snowy effect on the compiz??? | 06:26 |
| jayde_drag0n | Invert314: those changes are done with only 2 applications that i am aware of... the emerald theme manager .. which uses compiz and puts up a whole theme wit a click.. OR you have to use appearance... and on the first tab select the window look that is close to what you want and click customize..... THERE is where you will skin individual components for the system.. the menu bars, the window bars and the controls | 06:26 |
| _6StringKng_ | yeah, and what happened to the aquarium effect | 06:26 |
| _6StringKng_ | or maybe I'm missing something, I dunno | 06:26 |
| soldats | mmm eyecandy | 06:27 |
| jayde_drag0n | Invert314: and you download components from places like gnome-look and untar them into the .themes folder andf .icons | 06:27 |
| robert__ | yeah i'm missing the snowy effect from the compiz | 06:27 |
| === jgribben_ is now known as silver5 | ||
| === silver5 is now known as silver6 | ||
| jayde_drag0n | Invert314: the closest i found to something like "windowblinds" for ubuntu is the emerald theme manager | 06:27 |
| robert__ | hi there can i ask you a question? | 06:28 |
| _6StringKng_ | just ask man | 06:28 |
| CoasterMaster | go ahead and ask | 06:28 |
| _6StringKng_ | dont ask if you can | 06:28 |
| sir_Real | as to my earlier question about wiping an external drive... apt-get install wipe; man wipe; and wipe -kq /dev/sdb or whichever disk | 06:28 |
| Invert314 | jayde_drag0n, yes, i know how to change my emerald theme. what i need is the command which opens the customization themer for menus, and sidebars | 06:28 |
| * CoasterMaster is glad he contributed at least once today | 06:28 | |
| * _6StringKng_ I tired as well | 06:28 | |
| Grav3Mind | jayde how can i install the emerald theme manager? | 06:28 |
| Invert314 | emerald theme manger doesn't allow you to change the menus and sidebars | 06:28 |
| _6StringKng_ | tried* | 06:28 |
| * nickrud has been away for a while, and is feeling the itch | 06:29 | |
| imbecile | how do i determine my mac address? | 06:29 |
| Grav3Mind | is there a command just like for compiz? | 06:29 |
| osxdude | nickrud it seems like it's not registering...do I go to the metacity theme prefs, or the mouse prefs | 06:29 |
| Agent | yeah one more thing i thought 710 was going to be better then 704, but is the same problem i get so why the upgrade ? "be honest" | 06:29 |
| CoasterMaster | imbecile, type 'ifconfig' (no quotes) in a terminal | 06:29 |
| astro76 | imbecile, ifconfig, it is the HWaddr | 06:29 |
| imbecile | CoasterMaster: thanks | 06:29 |
| jayde_drag0n | Invert314: ooooohhhh i am stil new within ubuntu... but i really think that might be under appearance... under "customize... if its not there .. then i am at a loss | 06:29 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: hold on and i'll get that answer for you | 06:29 |
| Invert314 | jayde_drag0n, i know its there under appearance | 06:29 |
| Invert314 | duh | 06:29 |
| Invert314 | i need the commandline command | 06:30 |
| Grav3Mind | take your time jayde | 06:30 |
| Invert314 | do you know what a commandline is? | 06:30 |
| CoasterMaster | imbecile, you can also do 'ifconfig | grep HWaddr' (again no quotes) to strip out all the information that isn't a MAC address | 06:30 |
| Tixer_ | guys | 06:30 |
| jayde_drag0n | Invert314: that i don't know... i only know how to use it within the gui | 06:30 |
| imbecile | CoasterMaster: cool thanks | 06:30 |
| nickrud | osxdude: I was right, I needed to boot ubuntu :) It goes in /usr/share/icons , sorry | 06:30 |
| Tixer_ | how can I have a drive always mount to a specific point | 06:30 |
| _6StringKng_ | ntfs-config? | 06:30 |
| sysdrum | imbecile, "ifconfig -a" to view all network cards info | 06:30 |
| osxdude | ah | 06:30 |
| osxdude | thanks | 06:30 |
| Invert314 | then jayde_drag0n you are wasting my time | 06:30 |
| Invert314 | sorry | 06:30 |
| imbecile | thanks all :) | 06:31 |
| Csaba | whats a better dock, avant or simdock | 06:31 |

| soldats | oops wrong person sorry | 06:32 |
| nickrud | Tixer_: you mean so it always has the same name on your desktop? | 06:32 |
| Tixer_ | nickrud: | 06:32 |
| soldats | Tixer_, edit fstab if your confortable with it | 06:32 |
| Tixer_ | I have 2 exactly identical drives | 06:33 |
| robert__ | ok i installed emerald on gusty but now the title of my windows is missing....i have tried changing things on emerald but there is no change | 06:33 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: try sudo apt-get install emerald-themes (bear in mind it took em a couple of trys the first time to get the right command digging thru google) | 06:33 |
| Tixer_ | same type, same enclosure, same stuff | 06:33 |
| sysdrum | ? fstab? | 06:33 |
| Tixer_ | I need to make sure one always mounts in the same place | 06:33 |
| robert__ | if anybody could help me that would be great | 06:33 |
| RobNyc | Evolution > Thunderbird yes? | 06:33 |
| _6StringKng_ | sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 06:33 |
| Tixer_ | and another mounts in the other | 06:33 |
| soldats | sysdrum, sorry i sent it to you by mistake | 06:33 |
| Invert314 | Does anyone know which command to launches the gnome theme manager from a Terminal? | 06:33 |
| Tixer_ | how do I identify the drives though | 06:33 |
| nickrud | Tixer_: and these are usb drives? | 06:33 |
| sysdrum | I I was confused I haven't asked anything yet.. | 06:34 |
| _6StringKng_ | they ntfs? | 06:34 |
| sysdrum | it is cool.. | 06:34 |
| Tixer_ | they can be anything, I have no data on them yet and they're Linux only | 06:34 |
| Shadow147 | usually usb drives are sdb | 06:34 |
| soldats | sysdrum, yea sorry i looked up and saw your name and quickly typed it without thinking | 06:34 |
| Tixer_ | yes | 06:34 |
| Grav3Mind | sorry for everyone including me bugging you jade ^_^ | 06:34 |
| Tixer_ | except one is sdb, and one is sdc | 06:34 |
| soldats | Grav3Mind, thats what were here for | 06:35 |
| Tixer_ | but they'll change, depending on which is mounted first | 06:35 |
| soldats | Tixer_, you need to give them mount points in fstab | 06:35 |
| CyberMad | how to search file vboxdrv.ko on / and it's subfolder | 06:35 |
| Tixer_ | I told you, I can't, because they're identical | 06:35 |
| Tixer_ | I need a script that runs, that creates like an alias or something | 06:36 |
| nickrud | Tixer_: try right clicking the desktop icon, and giving them a specific mount point each. Like 'ThisDrive' and 'ThatDrive' | 06:36 |
| Tixer_ | hmm | 06:36 |
| Boogedy | w00t, just installed compiz with emerald | 06:36 |
| nickrud | Tixer_: you could put them into fstab if they are never unplugged | 06:36 |
| Tixer_ | they're never going to be unplugge | 06:36 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: people are here to help... even newbies when we learn something.. i'm just trying to help out | 06:36 |
| Tixer_ | however | 06:36 |
| CyberMad | i mean, how to search entire linux directory for that file? | 06:36 |
| n2diy | how do I clear my terminal window? Clear only clears what I'm viewing, not the whole screen? | 06:36 |
| Tixer_ | They have to go on AFTER the OS is loaded. | 06:36 |
| Tixer_ | not before | 06:36 |
| soldats | CyberMad, try in terminal "find 'name your looking for'" | 06:37 |
| soldats | n2diy, clear | 06:37 |
| Tixer_ | so I need to manually turn them on | 06:37 |
| soldats | n2diy, click reset on the menubar | 06:37 |
| n2diy | soldats: try again: how do I clear my terminal window? Clear only clears what I'm viewing, not the whole screen? | 06:37 |
| Grav3Mind | well thanks for letting me ask you a bunch of questions none the less lol. and im still not done XD | 06:37 |
| n2diy | soldats: reset, where's that? | 06:38 |
| CyberMad | do you mean "find / vboxdrv.ko" ? | 06:38 |
| soldats | click terminal and click clear and reset | 06:38 |
| nickrud | Tixer_: this should work, but I don't have a spare pluggable to test: unmount both, plug in one, right click the icon, select volume, and give it a distinct name. Then repeat with the next | 06:38 |
| jayde_drag0n | Invert314: i may have an answer for you but i need to know if the theme manager IS the same exact program as "appearance" | 06:38 |
| astro76 | n2diy, Terminal > Reset and Clear | 06:38 |
| soldats | CyberMad, find xvo.... | 06:39 |
| jayde_drag0n | Invert314: otherwise i've wasted your reading time again... cuz i just alunched it from terminal | 06:39 |
| soldats | CyberMad, not so sure though | 06:39 |
| Grav3Mind | hmm i ran sudo apt-get install emerald | 06:39 |
| Grav3Mind | then | 06:39 |
| Grav3Mind | sudo apt-get install emerald-themes | 06:39 |
| CyberMad | ok | 06:39 |
| sir_Real | Tixer_, google for luks setup, go through some of the articles looking for how they solve the similar problem. Each device has a unique hardware signature, even in your situation. You can then mount the device based on hardware signatures. you will have to lsusb (if they are usb) or dmesg after connecting each one and record that information | 06:39 |
| CyberMad | thanks | 06:39 |
| _6StringKng_ | you need emerald theme manger as well | 06:39 |
| n2diy | soldats: I'm in the terminal, no reset menu, I'm running Dapper. | 06:39 |
| Invert314 | jayde_drag0n, the terminal command is: gnome-appearance-properties | 06:39 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: neither of the commands worked?? i will keep looking | 06:40 |
| soldats | in the terminal the menu is called terminal | 06:40 |
| Grav3Mind | no the one did | 06:40 |
| Grav3Mind | sudo apt-get install emerald | 06:40 |
| n2diy | soldats: Found it, thanks. | 06:40 |
| soldats | its next to view | 06:40 |
| Grav3Mind | i got emerald theme manager | 06:40 |
| _6StringKng_ | ah | 06:40 |
| Grav3Mind | just...no themes | 06:40 |
| jayde_drag0n | Invert314: i'm just trying to help.. i'm googling like mad to find the command you are asking for for terminal... trying to be helpful | 06:40 |
| Tixer | is there any way to have a mount script on each drive? | 06:40 |
| Grav3Mind | and it wont "fetch" any | 06:40 |
| sir_Real | Tixer_, google for luks setup, go through some of the articles looking for how they solve the similar problem. Each device has a unique hardware signature, even in your situation. You can then mount the device based on hardware signatures. you will have to lsusb (if they are usb) or dmesg after connecting each one and record that information | 06:40 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: you have to install them hold on a sec and i'll walk you thru how to get them | 06:40 |
| Tixer | saying "mount me on say, /media/disk-1/ | 06:41 |
| Invert314 | thanks for your help jayde_drag0n | 06:41 |
| sir_Real | sorry to repost, but i think Tixer dropped out for a sec | 06:41 |
| Tixer | no | 06:41 |
| Tixer | added a clone | 06:41 |
| nickrud | sir_Real: looking through the gconf registry, under system/storage, it seems it tracks with uuid's; that's why I suggest he try | 06:41 |
| jayde_drag0n | Invert314: hey i'm a newb and i know it.. but trying to help in here helps me learn | 06:41 |
| Agent | psycore:am checking, your talking about Avant Window Navigator am i correct ? | 06:41 |
| soldats | jayde_drag0n, if your googling you can also just post the link here | 06:41 |
| psycore | Agent: yes. thanks :) | 06:41 |
| Shadix | agent> backup-source | 06:42 |
| Tixer | is there a simple bash script I can put on each drive? | 06:42 |
| jayde_drag0n | soldats: well i'm finding forum posts so instead of having him or her read thru the whole thing i was just gunna post the command | 06:42 |
| psycore | Agent: somebody gave me this link earlier http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=A_Visual_Install_Guide#Ubuntu | 06:42 |
| Tixer | so Ubuntu doesn't mount it, but the drive says "mount me in /media/..... | 06:42 |
| psycore | Agent: i wonder if it will work on feisty | 06:42 |
| _6StringKng_ | sudo apt-get install subversion | 06:42 |
| _6StringKng_ | svn ls https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes | 06:42 |
| _6StringKng_ | then try fetching the themes again | 06:42 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: okay first we have to install subversion.. let me get the command for you i think its just svn but lemme check to be sure | 06:43 |
| soldats | jayde_drag0n, yes thats a really nice thing to do | 06:43 |
| Grav3Mind | i just got that | 06:43 |
| Grav3Mind | jayde | 06:43 |
| Grav3Mind | ^_^ | 06:43 |
| Co | hai | 06:43 |
| Grav3Mind | i think i figured it out all on my own | 06:43 |
| Grav3Mind | ^_^ | 06:43 |
| jayde_drag0n | _6StringKng_: HA i just saw that too | 06:43 |
| jayde_drag0n | _6StringKng_: thanks | 06:44 |
| soldats | jayde_drag0n, but instead of rushing from page to page to get info may not be the best route for others sometimes they need to read it themselfes | 06:44 |
| Grav3Mind | i typed https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes | 06:44 |
| jayde_drag0n | soldats: okee dokee | 06:44 |
| Grav3Mind | and it said i needed to run sudo apt-get install subversion first | 06:44 |
| Grav3Mind | so i did | 06:44 |
| n2diy | Where does firestarter hide after a download? I have it running here, but want to move it to my test box. I can't find a .deb, or a .tar, or .gz for it? Where did it go? | 06:44 |
| Grav3Mind | hey jade...lol i have one more thing XD | 06:45 |
| Grav3Mind | *jayde | 06:45 |
| nickrud | n2diy: /var/cache/apt/archives ? | 06:45 |
| Grav3Mind | the cube effect isnt working in compiz and i have no idea why | 06:45 |
| Grav3Mind | the cube desktop switch that is | 06:45 |
| SuperQ | random question | 06:46 |
| n2diy | nickrud: no, nothing show up there!? | 06:46 |
| nickrud | n2diy: if you have it installed, but there's no deb there, you've run afoul of the ubuntu cache policy | 06:46 |
| SuperQ | has anyone setup unicode domain names with bind9? | 06:46 |
| DM| | Has anyone heard anything good about UbuntuTweak? | 06:47 |
| nickrud | n2diy: ubuntu doesn't let the cache get bigger than 500mb, or older than 30 days, iirc. The rules are in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20archve | 06:47 |
| nickrud | s/20archve/20archive/ | 06:47 |
| n2diy | nickrud: damn! Could it be I installed it after a download, and then deleted the .deb, and fouled things up? | 06:47 |
| nickrud | n2diy: not your fault | 06:47 |
| soldats | jayde_drag0n, i didnt mean to be a jerk but i like to enforce the lurk more method because learning how things work rather than just commands is a lot more helpful in the long run | 06:48 |
| bthornton | I'm trying to edit "Users and Groups" as an administrative user in Gutsy, but I get a window that says "The configuration could not be loaded: You are not allowed to access the system configuration." | 06:48 |
| [chr0n0s] | hi can anyone help me with this --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46313/ (the problem is about setting up timeout's at NAT) | 06:48 |
| jayde_drag0n | Invert314: hey i'm not finding a thing other than typing "gnome-theme-manager" but i'm fairly sure thats not right because it doesn't launch anything on my computer... unless i don't have it installed... soo i'm sorry i couldn't find it for yu but i'll keep looking | 06:48 |
| bthornton | any ideas? the current user is a member of the "admin" group | 06:48 |
| jayde_drag0n | soldats: explain further?? | 06:48 |
| Invert314 | jayde_drag0n, i already found the command i was looking for | 06:48 |
| nickrud | jayde_drag0n: gnome-appearance-properties | 06:48 |
| Invert314 | jayde_drag0n, i said: the terminal command i'm looking for is: gnome-appearance-properties | 06:49 |
| Invert314 | you don't know what a command line is, do you? | 06:49 |
| jayde_drag0n | oh... it was what i found earlier | 06:49 |
| jayde_drag0n | i misunderstood you saying it to me that i got it wrong | 06:49 |
| jayde_drag0n | yeay me!! | 06:49 |
| Grav3Mind | lol | 06:49 |
| nickrud | :) | 06:49 |
| soldats | jayde_drag0n, a lot of times on forums people give good hints as to why certain commands act the way tey do and learning about a certain distro and its install methods will help in the future if problems arise | 06:49 |
| n2diy | nickrud: Of course not! But, how do I get the firestarter package to my test box, which can't access the internet. Once I have the firestarter package here, I can get it to the test box via the LAN, or USB drive, but I can't locate the package!? | 06:50 |
| echosystm | guys, i get acpi errors when my computer is booting up. everything works fine, i can shut down and suspend, but the errors are still there. | 06:50 |
| soldats | jayde_drag0n, as in knowing how apt-get works and where the downloads come from | 06:50 |
| echosystm | does anyone have any ideas how i can stop the errors? | 06:50 |
| nickrud | n2diy: sudo aptitude reinstall firestarter will redownload it | 06:50 |
| jayde_drag0n | soldats: allrighty! yah i've only sorta figured those out | 06:51 |
| echosystm | the BIOS of my motherboard doesnt seem to allow me to turn acpi off (no option) | 06:51 |
| Grav3Mind | well i have 2 problems left guys. 1. Emerald is installed and what not and themes are there but none of them are spplying and 2. the desktop cube switch thing wont work | 06:51 |
| Grav3Mind | *applying | 06:51 |
| jayde_drag0n | soldats: but i forget everytime i go to put in a new repository.. and have to look it up again.. one day i will memorize it LOL | 06:51 |
| n2diy | nickrud: Did that, no package showing, but.... let me try an updatedb, and see if I can find it then, thanks. | 06:51 |
| nickrud | n2diy: hm, it goes into /var/cache/apt/archive , if it actually got downloaded (you'd see that) that's where it'll be | 06:52 |
| Grav3Mind | can anyone help me with these last 2 problems? | 06:52 |
| nickrud | n2diy: erm, archives at the end of that path, that is | 06:52 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: okay when i installed and got everything working it was done out of order... and somewhere you have to tell it to stop using metacity for themeing and use compiz.. but for the life of me i don't remember where it was | 06:52 |
| Grav3Mind | ah i know how to do that ^_^ | 06:53 |
| n2diy | nickrud: running updatedb now, hopefully this will solve it. | 06:53 |
| * nickrud thinks compiz is a waste of cycles (he has an ati) | 06:53 | |
| soldats | yes | 06:53 |
| Grav3Mind | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion | 06:53 |

(i've yet to figure out which ones are for the bars and not the windows... i still randomly install things lol) but then untar them into .themes i believe and when you open apparance and goto customize it is the ...controls tab that themes the bars and your emerald manager will theme the window borders | 07:01 |

| JimTheC | alright any alsa experts out there? | 07:03 |
| soldats | maybe | 07:04 |
| soldats | but probly not | 07:04 |
| JimTheC | I have a USB sound card | 07:04 |
| * nickrud gets popcorn, hoping for a new red man | 07:04 | |
| sysdrum | sorta why? | 07:04 |
| JimTheC | I plug it in and can identify it fine | 07:04 |
| JimTheC | if I set it as default under my sound prefs it works | 07:04 |
| FluxD | !ccsm | 07:05 |
| JimTheC | but I tried to adjust the volume using the hot keys on my keyboard | 07:05 |
| ubotu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 07:05 |
| JimTheC | and the volume level dropped real loq | 07:05 |
| JimTheC | low* | 07:05 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: with the limited knowledge i have i managed to do this http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/jayde_dragon/Screenshot-2.png not fantastic but it amuses me.... i used a gtk theme for the application bar and then used the colors tab to set the font colors etc to make thigns readable and pretty | 07:05 |
| JimTheC | pressing the volume up button causes the volume to jump up AND down | 07:05 |
| JimTheC | but never above 20% or so | 07:06 |
| sysdrum | where you in an adio app at the time? | 07:06 |
| Grav3Mind | i like the bars ^_^ | 07:06 |
| JimTheC | yeah totem | 07:06 |
| soldats | jayde_drag0n, its a nice look congrats | 07:07 |
| Grav3Mind | how hard is it to use compiz fuzion | 07:07 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: well i fully used tranparency under the individual properties for the bars... and i used "moomex" and colored it to get the slick black look | 07:07 |
| JimTheC | anyone help on my alsa issues? | 07:07 |
| sysdrum | hmm... JimTheC' have you tried installing another app like vlc? and seen if it does the same activity? | 07:07 |
| JimTheC | yup | 07:08 |
| JimTheC | its the same across apps | 07:08 |
| JimTheC | the on screen volume display (the pop up hotkey one) shows really low volume | 07:08 |
| sysdrum | okay what is the model of the keyboard? | 07:08 |
| soldats | JimTheC, most likely it has to do with the key setup you have you may need to do "a lot" of work to fix it | 07:08 |
| JimTheC | but wont increase | 07:08 |
| jayde_drag0n | soldats: thanks it took me FOREVER to find the icons i wanted but i'm really happy with it... i can't fully do it up the way i want unless i learn to make them myself.. but i'm happy with my current result | 07:08 |
| soldats | JimTheC, id suggest do it with the mouse | 07:08 |
| JimTheC | volume keys work great using onboard sound | 07:08 |
| === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine | ||
| soldats | jayde_drag0n, you can make your own icons using "the gimp" | 07:09 |
| Grav3Mind | does anyone know anything about using or installing compiz fuzion | 07:09 |
| nickrud | jayde_drag0n: or inkscape, you can do some really nice svg icons with that. Scales perfectly | 07:09 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC, what model is the usb sound card? | 07:10 |
| JimTheC | Trends UD-10 | 07:10 |
| jayde_drag0n | soldats: i like my icons.. but i wanna make the mouse pointers.. but me and gimp will be about as effective as me with a paper and pencil... 4 yr old adhd child on crack with a broken crayon | 07:10 |
| Agent | psycore:i was looking and looking, i found a error when download from there website that is why the file is missing | 07:10 |
| soldats | nickrud, inkscape is amazing but people fray away unless they know about vectors | 07:10 |
| soldats | jayde_drag0n, lol | 07:10 |
| psycore | Agent: its ok :) | 07:10 |
| nickrud | soldats: it's gotta be simple, I can use it :) | 07:10 |
| jayde_drag0n | aka.. i can't draw :-P | 07:11 |
| JimTheC | hmm | 07:11 |
| soldats | nickrud, yea i guess but its an incredibly powerful program | 07:11 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC, are you using an external dac? | 07:12 |
| nickrud | jayde_drag0n: thats why I used inkscape, as soldats says it's incredibly powerful, but you can use it to make simple shapes and layer them to get your effect | 07:12 |
| milestone | are there any sources to install kde4 with gutsy? | 07:12 |
| Agent | psycore:is your luckying day i found it and am trying it right now | 07:12 |
| soldats | nickrud, its just the fact that most people dont know about vectors and the gimp ca do layers as well and is easier for most people to learn | 07:13 |
| psycore | Agent: great! | 07:13 |
| JimTheC | yup external dac | 07:13 |
| jayde_drag0n | nickrud: lol you have no idea how badly i can draw with a computer... i tried to make the icon i wanted so that only the character was there and not a white block around it... but i made aparantly 15 layers.. and it still wouldn't be "clear" i kept cutting.. and going to transparancy.. and the pieces wouldn't go away LOL | 07:13 |
| Grav3Mind | incase anyone wants to try and install compiz fusion i found an awesome tut http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Compiz-Fusion-on-Ubuntu-58113.shtml | 07:13 |
| Grav3Mind | im going to try it | 07:14 |
| tritium | Grav3Mind: it's already installed in 7.10 | 07:14 |
| nickrud | soldats: true that, I guess. I'm not a graphics artist, it was easier to just make squares and circles and triangles with inkscape, then stretch them to make stuff | 07:14 |
| JimTheC | I just tried it again and it is behaving so weird | 07:14 |
| nickrud | jayde_drag0n: oh, yes, I can relate :) | 07:14 |
| JimTheC | I changed the sound vol tasktray thing over to the USB Dac | 07:15 |
| Grav3Mind | compiz fuzion? | 07:15 |
| tritium | Grav3Mind: yes | 07:15 |
| nickrud | jayde_drag0n: the trick to that is to add an alpha channel to the layers, that's what makes it transparent | 07:15 |
| JimTheC | and when I adjust the volume via mouse the panel icon immediately says its muted | 07:15 |
| Grav3Mind | really!!!??? | 07:15 |
| soldats | nickrud, i do a lot of graphic editing | 07:15 |
| Grav3Mind | holy crap | 07:15 |
| Grav3Mind | lol | 07:15 |
| JimTheC | even tho it isnt | 07:15 |
| jayde_drag0n | nickrud: lmao yeay someone can relate! i get an a for effort... i kept trying... 15 layers worth... but i tried :-) | 07:15 |
| Grav3Mind | i guess i just dont know what im doing | 07:15 |
| Agent | pstcore:it works | 07:16 |
| nickrud | soldats: do you do gratis for non-profits ;) | 07:16 |

| Agent | this round i won! | 07:17 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC : are you using stardad ubuntu? or a flavor? | 07:17 |

| psycore | Agent: u sure? lemme try then, but i don't know how to uninstall my kiba dock :P | 07:18 |

| Textboo1 | I should let you know that the computer I'm having codec problems with is a tri-core PPC , more specifically, an Xbox 360 :P | 07:24 |

| psycore | darn I forgot kida-dock's package name | 07:25 |
| psycore | Agent: | 07:25 |

| Evanlec | Textboo1, ur running ubuntu on a xbox 360? | 07:25 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC: yes | 07:25 |

| JimTheC | ah | 07:25 |
| JimTheC | cool | 07:25 |
| JimTheC | just in bios? | 07:25 |

| Evanlec | Textboo1, coolness, did u hafta hack anything to get that working? modchip? | 07:26 |
| JimTheC | and where did you find the bug? | 07:26 |
| psycore | jayde_drag0n: letme try | 07:26 |
| allenc | soldats: bash: /etc/init.d/alsamixer: No such file or directory | 07:26 |
| JimTheC | Ive googled and forummed the hell out of this | 07:26 |
| jayde_drag0n | psycore: so if my assumptions are correct that is the package name | 07:26 |
| Textboo1 | Evanlec: yes, it's not very easy for a normal end user, you have to have an old kernel, Microsoft fixed it a long time ago | 07:26 |
| omar_ | guys, in the page where users report bugs, where is the solution for them? | 07:26 |
| psycore | jayde_drag0n: E: Couldn't find package kiba. | 07:26 |
| soldats | allenc, type cd then type alsamixer restart | 07:26 |
| Agent | psycore:i didn't get your last message. | 07:26 |
| Textboo1 | anyways, I would love to put the Xbox 360 to good use, would be nice to use all that power for encoding videos, but this codec problem is kicking my a** | 07:27 |

| allenc | soldats: it brings up a screen with level bars on it | 07:27 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC: yes... but do to the fact there is a bug (that has to do with that device) I am not sure if just disabling the on-board will fix the issue | 07:27 |
| Textboo1 | Evanlec: go to www.free60.org if you're interested in it, can read about it there | 07:27 |
| Evanlec | Textboo1, cool | 07:27 |
| Agent | psycore:sudo apt-get remove kiba-dock | 07:27 |
| omar_ | guys, in the page where users report bugs, where are the solutions? | 07:28 |
| soldats | allenc, yes it should have restarted it now turn all the levels up and see if it worked | 07:28 |
| JimTheC | sysdrum: with which device? Onboard or DAC? And can you link me to the bug? | 07:28 |
| jayde_drag0n | lol you already knew it.. kiba-dock | 07:28 |

| omar_ | Guys, I still find a problem in mounting my DVD. The systems still gives me an error | 07:29 |
| Abu-Aadam | omar_: what command are you using | 07:29 |
| psycore | Agent: nope. failed. sudo apt-get remove kiba-dock | 07:29 |
| omar_ | Abu-Aadam: I'm not using any commands. | 07:30 |
| psycore | Agent: I tried sudo apt-get remove kiba also | 07:30 |
| allenc | soldats: ok turned all up. sound pref tab is still open and is locked up. | 07:30 |
| Abu-Aadam | omar_: try mount -t cd9660 /dev/<cdrom> /cdrom | 07:30 |
| soldats | allenc, try this "/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound stop" then do this "/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start" | 07:31 |
| Csaba | im having trouble installing avant, why cant i find it in synaptic? | 07:31 |
| Abu-Aadam | omar_: I'm not sure what the cd rom device is at though | 07:31 |
| Csaba | i downloaded a .deb, but what do i do with it, im not good with sudo apt stuff | 07:31 |
| bullgard4 | lsmod output includes 'video'. modinfo says: "ACPI Video Driver." Is 'video' my active video driver? | 07:31 |
| Textboo1 | Csaba: just double-click it | 07:31 |
| Textboo1 | it's like the Windows equivalent to an .exe | 07:32 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC: I run a search under bugs.launchpad.net for your issue and hardware.. | 07:32 |
| Csaba | ok i see files in a folder | 07:32 |
| allenc | soldats: no such command or directory | 07:32 |
| Csaba | theres a install icon, but thats just a text file | 07:32 |
| soldats | allenc, hmm i have no clue why that command isnt working | 07:33 |
| allenc | soldats: I don't seem to have that directory, are you sure it's the correct one? | 07:33 |
| jayde_drag0n | hey really dumb question for those who make icons and pictures and stuff... is the splash screen.. its a .png... does it contain any other information other than a picture... ie can i take any png and use it as the splash screen .. or do they have to be specially made? | 07:33 |
| soldats | it should be | 07:34 |
| _6StringKng_ | any should work Iw oudl think | 07:34 |
| soldats | jayde_drag0n, you should be able to use any .png | 07:34 |
| Agent | psycore:did you use the terminal to install kiba-dock ? | 07:34 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC: disable the on-board, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/34947 | 07:34 |
| jayde_drag0n | YEAY i can complete the domination of invader zim on my compy | 07:34 |
| JimTheC | sysdrum: I dont think this is related to HDA Nvidia. I've never had a problem with onboard audio. Only my USB DAC is flakey | 07:35 |
| zetheroo | I just installed Gutsy fresh on my system.... but when I try to enable compiz-fusion effects I get an error message saying the composite extension is not available..... do i need to install xserver-xgl? | 07:35 |
| psycore | Agent: yep. | 07:35 |
| Csaba | so what do i do with my avant.deb file, file manager just opens it up, nothing installs | 07:35 |
| bullgard4 | Launchpad > Bugs includes at the beginning of each page a status line "Affects, Status, Importance, Assigned to." What values may take the varible 'Status'? How to interpret them? | 07:35 |

| quickie | Hey! There are actually people here! Sweet... | 07:35 |
| quickie | <-- is a ubuntu noob. :) | 07:36 |
| Csaba | there is no install package | 07:36 |
| allenc | soldats: should I just re-install ubuntu? | 07:36 |
| Csaba | under the readme is | 07:36 |
| Csaba | ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr && make && make install | 07:36 |
| Abu-Aadam | quickie: cool, call urself newb not noob, noobs never learn :) | 07:36 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC: this is not with the hardware per say more so the alsa conflict between the cards and GNOME snd applet | 07:36 |
| quickie | LOL. Yeah.. Thanks for the heads up. ;) | 07:36 |
| Csaba | theres install-sh ? | 07:36 |
| JimTheC | sysdrum: hmm, just reading thru the comments on that bug | 07:37 |
| Agent | psycore:if you installed it you must use this code "sudo apt-get install kiba-dock" am i correct ? | 07:37 |
| soldats | allenc, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+question/6717 | 07:37 |
| psycore | Agent: I think I remember doing so. but i get confused since I strive so much to get it installed :P | 07:38 |
| quickie | Well then... I suppose I should start by asking if this is the right place to come for help when I cant find what I need in the forums..... | 07:38 |
| quickie | So.. uh.. Is it? :D | 07:38 |
| soldats | yes | 07:38 |
| _6StringKng_ | yes | 07:38 |
| zetheroo | anone? | 07:38 |
| zetheroo | I just installed Gutsy fresh on my system.... but when I try to enable compiz-fusion effects I get an error message saying the composite extension is not available..... do i need to install xserver-xgl? | 07:38 |
| _6StringKng_ | what type of video do you have? | 07:38 |
| zetheroo | ATI Mob Rad X1400 | 07:39 |
| _6StringKng_ | that might be why | 07:39 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC: did it help or you still back where you started? | 07:39 |
| zetheroo | it was working yesterday just fine | 07:39 |
| JimTheC | havent tried yet | 07:39 |
| JimTheC | sysdrum: Id need to reboot to attempt to disable the onboard in bios... | 07:39 |
| zetheroo | I thought that XGL is installed with Gutsy automatically | 07:39 |
| Textboo1 | zetheroo: have you installed the restricted drivers? | 07:40 |
| Textboo1 | you shouldn't have to use XGL I don't think, FGLRX should work | 07:40 |
| sysdrum | it is but the X1400 is a banned card | 07:40 |
| zetheroo | Textboo1: for my ATI carg? | 07:40 |
| Textboo1 | yes | 07:40 |
| zetheroo | yes | 07:40 |
| Textboo1 | you can un-blacklist cards/chipsets | 07:40 |
| JimTheC | sysdrum: unless you think the alsa changes will be enough? I a little inexperienced in actually directly editing module type files | 07:40 |
| quickie | Sweet... Well then.... I just installed 7.10, and have 3 hard drives... I was stupid and rushed through the install and didnt configure my hard drives manually.... And now cant see 2/3 of them.... I see them in the device manger as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc... And sdc has a volume set as linux_raid_member (which is good I guess)... but I cant actually see it in "Computer" along with sdb (which has no volume)... How do I get to see/use them? | 07:41 |
| zetheroo | it was working before without me having to do anything hectic | 07:41 |
| Textboo1 | ok, I think it's in your xorg.conf | 07:41 |
| Agent | psycore:well the all you ahve to is "sudo apt-get remove kiba-dock" then tell me what message you get | 07:41 |
| kraut | moin | 07:41 |
| Textboo1 | there should be a section at the bottom "Extensions" and Composite=False (you'll want to change that to true and save) | 07:41 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC: don't play with the code till you have no other option | 07:41 |
| soldats | quickie, youd have to edit the fstab file and make a mount point for them | 07:42 |
| Textboo1 | lemme double check if that's the right file zetheroo | 07:42 |
| quickie | The fstab file you say? | 07:42 |
| psycore | Agent: I get this message "E: Couldn't find package kiba-dock" | 07:42 |
| quickie | Hmm, I suppose thats a good start on my googleing. :) | 07:42 |
| soldats | yes it is | 07:42 |
| quickie | Thanks! I hope I wont be a bother if I come back if I cant figure it out from there. | 07:42 |
| alimoe | hey all | 07:43 |
| quickie | So far Im loving Ubuntu btw.... Other than the flash/firefox issue. | 07:43 |
| soldats | quickie, basically you need to create some folders where you want them to mount and then you need to edit your fstab file to mount at the folders you made | 07:43 |
| Textboo1 | yeah, that's a huge pain | 07:43 |
| Agent | psycore:are you sure you sill have it installed ? | 07:43 |
| Textboo1 | to have your browser lock up 20 times in one day is not fun | 07:43 |
| quickie | How do I create folders if I cant see the drive? | 07:43 |
| whitemetalfly | everyone hello | 07:43 |
| Sound | hello | 07:43 |
| psycore | Agent: yes, and it's working, but the thing is I couldnt get it to dock on top of my taskbar | 07:44 |
| sysdrum | the folders are symbolic links to the drive | 07:44 |
| Textboo1 | zetheroo: yep, I was right, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , look for Section "Extensions" | 07:44 |
| psycore | Agent: instead, it goes 'on' my taskbar shadowing it | 07:44 |
| Sound | which best mediaplyer in liux | 07:45 |
| _6StringKng_ | I use amarok, hehe | 07:45 |
| JimTheC | sysdrum: Man what search term did you use in launchpad to get that hit? I still can't get it to come up on my own | 07:45 |
| soldats | quickie, this may help http://aplawrence.com/Linux/adddrive.html | 07:45 |
| Textboo1 | zetheroo: you can remove that section or just change the 0 to a 1 | 07:45 |
| mavi- | Sound: amarok for KDE, i like exaile for Gnome | 07:45 |
| psycore | _6StringKng_: is amarok similar to winamp? | 07:45 |
| bullgard4 | lsmod output includes 'video'. modinfo says: "ACPI Video Driver." Is 'video' my active video driver? | 07:45 |
| quickie | soldats, Thanks a ton! Ill be back in a bit after trying some of this out. :) | 07:45 |
| mavi- | psycore: more like itunes in the layout | 07:45 |

| MI_5 | is there any way to combine the unallocated space when i resized some of the partitions? | 07:48 |
| Textboo1 | unallocated means it's not partitoned or formatted | 07:48 |
| Textboo1 | there can't be anything on them | 07:48 |
| lamartpm | if anyone ones, complete noob to ubuntu and completely messed up my OS by switching the drivers up, really would appreciate some guidance if someone gets the chance | 07:48 |
| clusco | helloooooooo | 07:48 |
| clusco | damn newbies here!!! | 07:48 |
| MI_5 | ok, when i format them, can i combine it into another partition? | 07:48 |
| bullgard4 | MI_5: yes. Use GParted. | 07:48 |
| hairulfr | lamartpm: What happened? Ie. what is the problem? | 07:49 |
| _6StringKng_ | sudo apt-get install gparter | 07:49 |
| Textboo1 | in Administration > Partition Editor I belive | 07:49 |
| psycore | Agent: nope. couldnt find any of those egde click thingy | 07:49 |
| lamartpm | i switched my graphics card over | 07:49 |
| _6StringKng_ | sudo apt-get install gparteg | 07:49 |
| _6StringKng_ | sudo apt-get install gparted | 07:49 |
| _6StringKng_ | OMFG | 07:49 |
| Textboo1 | gparted* | 07:49 |
| Textboo1 | lol | 07:49 |
| lamartpm | sorry, the driver for my graphics card | 07:49 |
| _6StringKng_ | damn laptop keyboard | 07:49 |
| hairulfr | lamartpm: How do you mean? | 07:49 |
| quickie | clusco, Ey... Dont be so hard on us noobs, making the switch aint easy. :P | 07:49 |
| Agent | psycore:did you click on kiba settings | 07:49 |
| Textboo1 | ok.. going to repeat myself | 07:49 |
| Textboo1 | (2:22:54 AM) Textboo1: anybody ever had video codec problems so bad that if you tried playing an xvid/x264 it not only just did not work, but it also kills the media player (it just disappears) ? | 07:49 |
| MI_5 | ok will do | 07:49 |
| _6StringKng_ | I know, but so many noobs | 07:49 |
| MI_5 | thanks | 07:49 |
| lamartpm | basically, i was playing around cause i saw something neat, and i changed it from one set of intel drivers to another, now i have to run off a live cd because it won't let me into the gui and sends me to a command prompt | 07:50 |
| psycore | Agent: when i click on the dock all i see is "kiba utils>gset-kiba" | 07:50 |
| JimTheC | sysdrum: Ah! google indexes better than launchpad search :-) | 07:50 |
| _6StringKng_ | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 07:50 |
| _6StringKng_ | at the terminal | 07:50 |
| Textboo1 | lamartpm: did you try sudo dpk --reconfigure xserver-xorg | 07:50 |
| _6StringKng_ | I think thats the command | 07:50 |
| hairulfr | lamartpm: Do you have a console when you boot form the HD? | 07:50 |
| JimTheC | sysdrum: thanks for the push in the right direction | 07:50 |
| lamartpm | yes | 07:50 |
| JimTheC | Im out for the night | 07:50 |
| lamartpm | and no i haven't tried that | 07:50 |
| hairulfr | lamartpm: Do what Textboo1 said | 07:50 |
| Textboo1 | isn't there a -phigh in there somewhere too? | 07:50 |
| Textboo1 | so he doesn't have to do all the options | 07:51 |
| Textboo1 | sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh | 07:51 |
| Textboo1 | try that | 07:51 |
| hairulfr | Textboo1: lamartpm: That should do the trick :) | 07:51 |
| lamartpm | thanks guys!!! | 07:51 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC:so are you good? | 07:51 |
| bullgard4 | _6StringKng_: Instead of denouncing others here in the channel try: i.) to use the Enter key less often, ii.) to key less often typos. | 07:51 |
| JimTheC | I dunno | 07:51 |
| Textboo1 | I am awesome :P | 07:51 |
| JimTheC | Ill reboot later and try disabling | 07:51 |
| Agent | psycore:did you right click ? | 07:51 |
| Textboo1 | if I could just get this system to play codecs now.. | 07:52 |
| psycore | Agent: yes. | 07:52 |
| JimTheC | I have enough to go on that I can chase down the rest of it | 07:52 |
| Agent | psycore:did you see the kiba settings ? | 07:52 |
| sysdrum | did you book mark the launchpad page? | 07:52 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC: did you book mark the launchpad page? | 07:52 |
| psycore | Agent: nope. all I get is Kiba-Utils, and sub menu is >gset kiba, icon editor and systray | 07:53 |
| JimTheC | sysdrum: yup of course | 07:53 |
| hairulfr | Textboo1: What with the codecs ? | 07:53 |
| hairulfr | *al min trafik | 07:53 |
| Agent | psycore:this should work press alt-f2 then copy&paste this "kiba-settings" | 07:54 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC: well peace I am out I have a desktop project to finish for work... | 07:54 |
| _6StringKng_ | ctrl+shit+insert to paste something interminal | 07:54 |
| Textboo1 | hairulfr: If I try playing xvid/x264 the media player dies, and I have gone in through add/remove and installed all the gstreamer plugins | 07:54 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC:hopefully you get fixed and all is well | 07:54 |
| _6StringKng_ | whoops | 07:54 |
| Textboo1 | that's all I did on my laptop and it works fine .. on this system , nada | 07:55 |
| psycore | Agent: I get this> Could not open location 'file:///kiba-settings' | 07:55 |
| hairulfr | Textboo1: Weird, what palyer do you use? | 07:55 |
| Textboo1 | hairulfr: does it with totem, mplayer, and vlc | 07:55 |
| hairulfr | Textboo1: Sounds hardware ish, don't it? | 07:55 |
| JimTheC | sysdrum: Yeah eventually. Then I can move onto my ACPI issue ;-) | 07:55 |
| Textboo1 | hairulfr: thta's possible, considering it's running on an Xbox 360 | 07:55 |
| JimTheC | sysdrum: thanks for the help. Later | 07:55 |
| sysdrum | JimTheC: that I have no clue about... | 07:55 |
| hairulfr | Textboo1: hahah, yeah, that might be :) What hardware is in that? | 07:56 |
| Agent | psycore:go into your terminal and type "sudo apt-get install kiba-dock | 07:56 |
| Textboo1 | where would I get a log of why a media player would crash like that? mpeg2 works fine, and I've check the Admin > System Logs viewer, none of them come up with anything when it crashes | 07:56 |
| _6StringKng_ | codec problem maybe? | 07:57 |
| Textboo1 | hairulfr: a tri-core ppc cpu, each core running 2 threads at 3.2 ghz | 07:57 |
| Textboo1 | would love to put those to use encoding videos, it would be a beast | 07:57 |
| _6StringKng_ | I bet | 07:57 |
| psycore | Agent: i get this > E: Couldn't find package kiba-dock. how to get the package again? download again? | 07:57 |
| Textboo1 | but alas, I am stifled by the almighty gods | 07:57 |
| psycore | Agent: I might have deleted the package, since it was on my desktop | 07:58 |
| hairulfr | Textboo1: Yeah, ppc, in MS, who would have thunk it | 07:58 |
| Textboo1 | heh, I know | 07:58 |
| Textboo1 | what's funny was their dev kits were Apple G5's .. ok... | 07:58 |
| Textboo1 | doesn't make sense | 07:58 |
| Textboo1 | going off topic now though, but really though, anywhere I could troubleshoot the cause, even if it is a hardware issue? | 07:59 |
| Polysics | hi all | 08:00 |

| Polysics | hairulfr, could you pls point me to some? | 08:02 |
| Textboo1 | MI_5: you could have just extended your current partitions (I think) | 08:02 |
| Shadix | um I have a black box on my screen that won't go away | 08:03 |
| MI_5 | Textboo1: it wouldn't allow me to go any further | 08:03 |
| Shadix | it is where the you tube vid plays nomaly | 08:03 |
| Textboo1 | MI_5: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm | 08:03 |
| psycore | Agent: thanks for your time dude :) | 08:03 |
| hairulfr | Polysics: Uhmm... Well, not really, find something about porn i guess, post it on youtube, any where with lots of users i guess | 08:03 |

| Polysics | ok, i get the gist :-) | 08:04 |
| Agent | psycore:your welcome, i told you now you can have kiba-dock or avant | 08:04 |

| Polysics | i jsut wish i knew a nigerian guy :-) | 08:04 |
| Textboo1 | Polysics: just google spam filter testing | 08:04 |
| Agent | psycore:later | 08:05 |
| Polysics | i think those tests using specially crafted emails have been done | 08:05 |
| psycore | Agent: yeah later :) | 08:05 |

| balachmar | Hi, a friend here at work tried to update to gutsy gibbon straight from dapper, which failed because of some dependancies | 08:44 |
| balachmar | He just replaced dapper by gutsy in the sources.list | 08:44 |
| Gnuget | hairulf1, :O | 08:44 |
| Gnuget | wow | 08:45 |
| segagman | :-0 | 08:45 |
| Jannita | Gnuget, yes, but I'm reading that document to improve my english :D | 08:45 |
| Gnuget | :D | 08:45 |
| balachmar | He now tried to get back to dapper and then to edgy, replacing gutsy and doing a update/upgrade/dist-upgrade | 08:45 |
| balachmar | But it breaks on some dependancies | 08:45 |
| segagman | kool what doc can i read to understand your? | 08:45 |
| yellow | currently i use dapper... like it better than the newer versions, but what happens when the long time service runs out? | 08:45 |
| balachmar | like: apt, aptitude and gnome-terminal-data | 08:45 |
| segagman | i got a gibbion in the mail with stickers and all | 08:46 |
| hairulf1 | segagman: Alsa is problematic to setup with these usb things. You should google around. | 08:46 |
| segagman | still like the fawn | 08:46 |

| jmazaredo_ | anyone help me on this http://pastebin.com/m7f5efa9d | 08:48 |
| segagman | c it is for "gamers" | 08:48 |
| balachmar | Does no one know what to do with the failed upgrade from dapper to gutsy? I reinstall is not really an option... | 08:48 |
| segagman | search comand line | 08:49 |
| mkquist | balachmar - why is reinstall not an option? | 08:49 |
| hairulf1 | balachmar: what mkquist said | 08:50 |
| segagman | is sudo a refence to linjitsu? | 08:50 |
| segagman | cause i like bash | 08:50 |
| segagman | :-) | 08:50 |
| dgjones | balachmar, not sure what to suggest to correct the problem, but you could well find that backing up /home might be the only way, its not recommended to upgrade from dapper to gutsy, you need to upgrade from dapper to Edgy, then to Feisty and then to gutsy | 08:50 |
| hairulf1 | segagman: ubuntu-offtopic | 08:50 |
| segagman | opps geeez sorry man | 08:51 |
| balachmar | dgjones: We now know why it is not recommended to upgrade from dapper to gutsy in one step :) | 08:51 |
| segagman | ok back to my grub wooos | 08:51 |
| balachmar | That is why we now tried to get back to dapper, and upgrade to edgy from there | 08:51 |
| segagman | so i got vis/xp | 08:51 |
| balachmar | but now it has some trouble fixing dependancies | 08:52 |
| ere4si | jmazaredo_: isn't it aptitude get install program? | 08:52 |
| neur2 | thanks | 08:52 |
| VSpike | How can I make network connected files which behave ... dare I say it ... more like windows? By which I mean - doesn't hang processes/system when disconnected/unavailable... transparently reconnects when disconnected if possible... automatically restored on boot/wakeup/resume | 08:52 |
| Agent_bob | balachmar i missed that. why is it not recommended ? | 08:52 |
| segagman | runing is it cool to "install" untu | 08:52 |
| mkquist | balachmar - i still think you should just b/u home and install gibbon fresh | 08:52 |
| Parsi | why there isn't a link to download ububtu DVD on the site? | 08:52 |
| hairulf1 | balachmar: I'd do that too | 08:52 |
| mkquist | segagman - ru asking if you can install ubuntu with xp/vista? if so, then yes it works fine | 08:53 |
| segagman | how? | 08:53 |
| segagman | sorry but i like many sourses | 08:53 |
| hairulf1 | Parsi: http://isohunt.com/download/28289948/ubuntu | 08:53 |
| balachmar | To problem with that is that we are not the administrators of the computer, we do have the sudo rights, but there is also a admin account on the machine, so we can't really reinstall the machine... | 08:53 |
| Parsi | hairulf1, ok | 08:54 |
| balachmar | (I know the admin should have upgraded the system then, but hey... :) ) | 08:54 |
| mkquist | segagman - it should just install and grub should 'see' the other o/s install | 08:54 |
| balachmar | Agent_bob: because of dependancy problems... | 08:54 |
| segagman | all thes ubuntu links im going 2 crash beryl lol | 08:54 |
| VSpike | Windows used to suffer from these problems too .. i remember in the days of netware/win3.1 where our financial director used to yank the 10-base2 coax with his foot and craash every machine in the office | 08:55 |
| Parsi | where can i find trash folder? | 08:55 |
| Agent_bob | balachmar i think you just told me the real problem you are second admin too many cooks in the kitchen | 08:55 |
| VSpike | But I can't believe Linux is really less capable in this respect, so it must just be a matter of configuring things right | 08:55 |
| segagman | wouldnt that b kool <eXPerince<VISlite<FAWN | 08:56 |
| segagman | LIVE | 08:56 |
| Agent_bob | Parsi find / -iname '*trash*' -type d | 08:56 |

| clusco | how to check what wifi chipset being used????? | 08:58 |

| clusco | my wifi card didnt detect... | 08:58 |
| VSpike | clusco: lspci | 08:58 |
| dgjones | balachmar, just wondering, is your /home on a seperate partition? if it is, you could possibly do a fresh install and mount /home to the same partition but tell the installer not to format the partition, that at least should save everything and all the users info in /home | 08:59 |
| clusco | thanks VSpike | 08:59 |
| balachmar | Parsi: yes | 08:59 |

| clusco | thanks VSpike!!! | 09:01 |
| Parsi | ! | 09:01 |
| balachmar | Parsi: Matlab is proprietary software you should have to buy it to use it, or you might want to try octave which is an open source implementation of various matlab functions | 09:02 |
| balachmar | octave you can install from apt-get | 09:02 |

| === Q_Continuum is now known as Q_Contoxicated | ||
| balachmar | dgjones: but it really is a pitty that you can't upgrade from dapper to some other version besides edgy. It makes upgrade take a while... | 09:04 |
| dgjones | balachmar, it does, as you'd noticed, its probably down to dependencies to things installed in the intermediate versions | 09:05 |
| Parsi | balachmar: is Octave linux version of matlab? | 09:07 |
| brobostigon | good morning | 09:07 |
| balachmar | Parsi: no, but in some things it is compatible | 09:07 |
| clusco | i just install ubuntu server... now installing x window | 09:08 |

| Parsi | same as matlab? | 09:08 |
| clusco | i need to do openvpn | 09:08 |
| Parsi | same commands? | 09:08 |
| balachmar | dgjones: yupz, I know why, but still it should be great it it somehow knew how to solve the dependancy problems when upgrading from older versions. | 09:08 |

| UbuntuLover | Having an issue with a script. This is a shorter version of the theory: test1="echo -e \"hello\nworld\"" && test2="sed -n '`expr $RANDOM '*' 2 '/' 32767` s/./p'" && $test1 | $test2 This SHOULD randomly output "hello" or "world", but evidently 'sed' doesn't seem to care for backticks. Anyone know how to output a line from a file at random? | 09:12 |
| balachmar | Parsi: Well then still your university might have student versions available, our university has | 09:12 |
| Parsi | balachmar: no, all the computers run MS Windows | 09:13 |

| balachmar | Parsi: Well if they supply students with licenses, it doesn't matter, because you can use the same license in the linux version | 09:14 |
| brobostigon | around half are linux. | 09:14 |
| UbuntuLover | is there a way to output a line from a file at random? | 09:14 |

| zetheroo | now when installing Ubuntu for an office load of computers (about 20) there is one thing that comes to mind..... the need to update every one of those installations! It would be really great if there were update ISO's available for download.... this way you would not have to chew up your downloads and valuable bandwidth for 10's of machines.... | 09:16 |
| perpetual | Can someone help me with moving an ubuntu system from one harddisk (old, noisy) to a new one? | 09:16 |

| balachmar | Parsi: http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/FAQ.html#MATLAB-compatibility | 09:17 |
| balachmar | Parsi: just some extra info in case you can't get your hands on matlab for linux | 09:17 |

| yellow | balachmar: well, good luck to him. have to leave, bye | 09:21 |
| Parsi | yellow: student version is free? | 09:21 |
| brobostigon | perpetual: you could makea backup of everything,then do a fresh installation, and then copy importent things from backup, thats what i did, and it semmed the easiest to me. | 09:21 |
| balachmar | Parsi: no | 09:22 |
| perpetual | dgjones; because of the UUID ways ubuntu uses these days, the initrd does not find the root device anymore. How do I fix that. The backup is already long done. I not a newbie | 09:22 |
| Parsi | errr! | 09:22 |
| yellow | Parsi: i have a free student verison | 09:22 |
| balachmar | Parsi: your university normally pays for it | 09:22 |
| Parsi | yellow: how can i download it? | 09:22 |
| Parsi | balachmar: i wanna use it at home | 09:22 |
| gugu | Ciao | 09:23 |
| brobostigon | gugu: by | 09:23 |
| spin | ciao a tutti | 09:23 |
| yellow | Parsi: personally i downloaded it from the university homepage, but to get it i had to use my account | 09:23 |
| dgjones | perpetual, i would think you should be able to find out the new uuid's and just replace them in the fstab file, give me a sec, there's a link for checking the uuid's | 09:23 |
| dgjones | !uuid | 09:23 |
| ubotu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 09:23 |
| balachmar | Parsi: then you are still allowed to use a student license from your university if you use it for your education | 09:24 |
| gtr | Hi I am trying to get wvdial to work but its not happening, it keeps telling me I failed to authenticate, but the username and password are correct | 09:24 |
| dgjones | perpetual, i "think" you can use a live cd to boot up and then the sudo blkid command from that to find out the uuid's of the partitions on the drive | 09:24 |
| balachmar | If you don't use it for educational purposes you should have to buy it, steal it (download illegaly) or use octave :) | 09:24 |
| perpetual | dgjones, I already replaced those with the proper device files. It is the initrd where still the old UUID's are used | 09:24 |
| perpetual | dgjones, naturally, before booting from the new drive, I already fixed the fstab. | 09:25 |
| dgjones | perpetual, i'm not sure about that, i've never had to change anything like that | 09:25 |
| spiffman | hi all, i have cd/dvd driver issues, someone wanna take a stab? | 09:25 |
| yellow | bye, have to go | 09:26 |
| dgjones | perpetual, i was going for the simple solution, i don't think i'm going to have anything more helpful to suggest | 09:26 |
| perpetual | dgjones, thanks. I already tried to remake the initrd file in /boot, with mkinitramfs. But it did not work yet for me. | 09:27 |
| alexbobp | Are there any Linux programs for recovering files deleted from an NTFS partition? | 09:27 |
| dgjones | perpetual, good luck anyway | 09:28 |
| spiffman | ok, well lemme rephrase: where can i mess with my cd/dvd driver, maybe an update driver option or something? | 09:28 |
| scguy318 | alexbobp: testdisk comes to mind | 09:29 |
| UbuntuLover | brobostigon: and to anyoneelse who cares, I actually figured out a solution to my problem! Whoohoo! test1="Hello\nWorld" && test2=`echo -e $test1 | wc -l` && echo -e $test1 | grep -n "" | grep ^`expr $RANDOM '*' $test2 '/' 32767 '+' 1`: | sed -e 's/^..\(.*$\)/\1/' | 09:31 |
| UbuntuLover | yay for me | 09:31 |
| spiffman | i haven't been able to write to any cd's, not even cd-r's, someone can tell me what my options are? (besides getting a new cd-rom :P) | 09:31 |
| brobostigon | thats great ubuntulover: we are very happy for you. | 09:31 |

| brobostigon | blackfox_: !wine | 09:46 |
| scguy318 | !wine | blackfox_ | 09:46 |

| din_ | My monitor looks like <[screenn| * ] * -black area :> I need to pull screen a bit right, i used xvidtune in ubuntu 7.04 and it worked well (it moved screen to right, and it gived me modeline, which i put in xorg.conf) , but now xvidtune doesnt work. So anybody can help me ? :> | 09:53 |

| administrator | I need some help about installing maven in ubuntu... | 09:54 |
| administrator | any help? | 09:54 |
| perpetual | gtr, Two possible causes in the initrd: it is an ide disk, which ubuntu calls /dev/sda, because it uses libata with some kind of compatibility layer. That module may not be loaded. Second: in the initrd root may still be refered to with its UUID which is not correct for the new harddisk | 09:54 |

| Taggard | brobostigon: Wrong paste.. hold on | 09:55 |
| === administrator is now known as aniac | ||
| Taggard | brobostigon: Package pbbuttonsd is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 09:55 |
| perpetual | gtr, exact error I don't know, but kernel panic because it cannot find root device on (0,0) (major, minor device numbers) | 09:55 |
| bullgard4 | lsmod output includes 'video'. modinfo says: "ACPI Video Driver." Is 'video' my active video driver? | 09:55 |
| aniac | I already tried it but when I'm tryin to run it i get errmsg like wrong java path.. | 09:56 |
| brobostigon | when i installed gutsy taggard, it installed that package automagiclly, | 09:56 |
| brobostigon | so i a mm not sure what to advise: taggard | 09:56 |
| brobostigon | try ubuntu-powerpc irc room.and ask there, the might have a better idea. | 09:57 |
| perpetual | gtr, I moved a system from an old, almost broken disk to a new one. I changed the fstab to use /dev/sda* device files, and also changed the root=UUID=blabla to root=/dev/sda6 in the kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:57 |

| ikonia | jrib: ok, topic dropped. Pointless | 10:31 |
| perpetual | ikonia, it is now, it is on the primary ide. Although gutsy calls it /dev/sda, because of libata which is standard now | 10:31 |
| scguy318 | adminus: if theres a section called "Module", then add the line Disable "dri" to the section | 10:31 |
| scguy318 | adminus: if not, then make a new section, then add that line | 10:31 |
| scguy318 | jrib: three lines ok in here? | 10:31 |
| ikonia | perpetual: no - grub references disks different. /dev/sda does not mean grub will see it as (hd0) | 10:31 |

| CyberMad | is there short way to do that? | 10:32 |
| greencoo1ie | Is there a standalone address book for ubuntu? | 10:32 |
| perpetual | ikonia, grub runs, it loads the kernel. The error occurs in the initramfs stage. | 10:32 |

| ikonia | CyberMad: yes | 10:32 |
| scguy318 | adminus: see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46322/ | 10:32 |
| ikonia | CyberMad: be in that dir as a working dir | 10:32 |
| lenscape_ | how do I force it to use one only? | 10:32 |
| scguy318 | adminus: only concern yourself with the Section "Module" portion | 10:32 |
| ikonia | perpetual: ahh so the kernel is booting to the point of checking for a FS | 10:32 |
| scguy318 | adminus: the rest is probably not applicable to your configuratin | 10:33 |
| CyberMad | i think that just the solution, eh.. ok thanks | 10:33 |
| OIM | ı thınk you solved problem | 10:33 |
| adminus | thanks m8, i think i've managed ;) | 10:33 |

| tuet | exception Emask x SAct x SErr x | 10:35 |
| tuet | ata1.00: cmd blah blah balh | 10:35 |
| tntCry | any app you recommend for building sites somehting similar or better then dreamwaver ? scguy318 | 10:35 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: and are you behind some sort of proxy that's obstructing access to the Internet? | 10:35 |
| perpetual | ikonia, yes, I already used the live CD. I can mount all partitions, old and new fine. | 10:35 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: not really, I'm clueless in the area :P | 10:35 |
| larsemil | is Open office novell edition available for ubuntu somewhere? | 10:35 |
| tntCry | scguy318, yes im behind someport that is obstructing access to the internet | 10:35 |
| porkpie | iknoia:so from a prompt I just type JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00 | 10:36 |
| ikonia | perpetual what is the difference between the machines ? I'm wondering if something is in modules.conf that conflicts with your disk controller making the disk non-accessable by the kernel / | 10:36 |
| OIM | huh | 10:36 |
| ikonia | porkpie: if thats your path, yes | 10:36 |
| greencoo1ie | Does anyone have a standalone address book or do you use evolution? | 10:36 |
| porkpie | OK | 10:36 |
| OIM | ı cant do ıt | 10:36 |
| porkpie | thansk | 10:36 |
| genjix | vox, i mean in grub btw | 10:36 |
| ikonia | porkpie: that looks an unusual path | 10:36 |
| tntCry | scguy318, a port which connects to a server and server which does the job and says which am i allowed or not | 10:36 |
| jrib | OIM: can't do what exactly? | 10:36 |
| perpetual | ikonia, it is the same machine. I just wanted to move the system to a bigger, quieter disk. | 10:36 |
| bef | touch me | 10:36 |
| ikonia | perpetual: thats even more unusual | 10:36 |
| CyberMad | anyone here know well with VNC ? how to run VNC as silent mode.. so the user will not know if there is incoming VNC connection? | 10:36 |
| OIM | ı want to know that how can ı ınstall beryl | 10:37 |
| tntCry | CyberMad, who you hacking :p | 10:37 |
| jrib | !beryl | OIM | 10:37 |
| ubotu | OIM: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 10:37 |
| CyberMad | i want to do this not for fun or bad attitude | 10:37 |
| brobostigon | greencoo1ie: have a look at packages.ubuntu.com, thats shws all software for ubuntu, search thre. | 10:37 |
| ikonia | perpetual: are you still using the grub boot sector off the initial disk, or did you copy the boot sector across too | 10:37 |
| perpetual | ikonia, why? I had a small harddrive, and did not want to reinstall? | 10:37 |
| CyberMad | tntCry ah.. you're wrong... this is my boss ask me about spy | 10:37 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: so theres a machine that acts as a filtering proxy? | 10:37 |
| porkpie | iknoia:I still get the same error :S | 10:37 |
| ikonia | perpetual: I meant it was unusual it was failing | 10:37 |
| CyberMad | i already use tightvnc on every windows | 10:38 |
| ikonia | porkpie: thats because yout path is not right | 10:38 |
| greencoo1ie | brobostigon: thnx pal | 10:38 |
| ikonia | perpetual: are you still using the grub boot sector off the initial disk, or did you copy the boot sector across too | 10:38 |
| OIM | but ı download all packages for beryl 2.00 | 10:38 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: if thats the case use PuTTY and specify the proxy | 10:38 |
| ikonia | OIM: beryl is dead | 10:38 |
| perpetual | ikonia, when I had copied everything over to the new disk (with rsync), I installed grub on that disk. | 10:38 |
| CyberMad | i tried the built-in remote desktop on ubuntu, but it display a popup about someone connect to it | 10:38 |
| ikonia | perpetual: out of interest (you may have done this) can you dissconnect the old disk and make sure its booting from grub on the new disk | 10:38 |
| OIM | so what will you offer for effects | 10:39 |
| tntCry | ok :) | 10:39 |
| tntCry | i will try | 10:39 |
| ikonia | OIM: compiz-fusion as jrib has said a few times to you | 10:39 |
| perpetual | ikonia, by means of chrooting in the right partition, mounting the other filesystems, and /proc, /dev, /sys. Then ran grub, said root=(hd1,0), setup (hd1) | 10:39 |
| tntCry | is theyr a putty server aswell ? | 10:39 |
| tntCry | scguy318, | 10:39 |
| * porkpie is struggling to workout why ubuntu is having problems with setting JAVA_HOME | 10:39 | |
| scguy318 | tntCry: no | 10:39 |
| scguy318 | tntCry: PuTTY and related apps are just clients | 10:39 |
| ikonia | perpetual: ahhhh that can be a problem. not %100 but it can be. Disconnect the old disk to make sure grub is booting ok from the new disk. | 10:40 |
| OIM | alright thank | 10:40 |
| perpetual | ikonia, the problem is in the initrd file | 10:40 |
| ikonia | porkpie: its not - you are. You're setting the wrong path | 10:40 |
| ikonia | perpetual: are you %100 ? | 10:40 |
| porkpie | ikonia:I don't see how | 10:40 |
| bododo | hi folks :) | 10:40 |
| bododo | I'm having troubles with wifi on my GG with an ibook G4 ppc | 10:41 |
| porkpie | ikonia:the jvm is locate at /usr/lib/jvm/ | 10:41 |
| ikonia | porkpie: your setting the wrong path | 10:41 |
| jrib | porkpie: why are you setting it at all? | 10:41 |
| bododo | is anyone here using an ibook? | 10:41 |
| perpetual | ikonia, I already did that. Only new disk connected: grub boots fine. Loads kernel, loads initrd, but cannot find root device | 10:41 |
| ikonia | porkpie: thats not what java_home is for | 10:41 |
| ikonia | perpetual: ok, I'm just checking. | 10:41 |
| brobostigon | bododo: i have ibook g3 | 10:41 |
| porkpie | ikonia:so what do I need to set | 10:41 |
| bododo | brobostigon: you have wifi working? | 10:41 |
| OIM | ı love thıs program | 10:41 |
| brobostigon | i do | 10:41 |
| bododo | brobostigon: with a broadcom? | 10:42 |
| perpetual | ikonia, I think the reason is that system-specific stuff is in that initrd. Like libata module, or UUID numbers for _old_ harddisk partitions or whatever. | 10:42 |
| porkpie | jrib:oot@devel:/var/www/siteinvoice/jbilling/bin# ./run.sh | 10:42 |
| porkpie | run.sh: Missing file: /lib/tools.jar | 10:42 |

| bododo | I have ibook G4 with a bcm 4318 and i'm having troubles with it. The signal is null when I'm at 2 meters away from the router | 10:42 |
| scguy318 | bododo: try ndiswrapper | 10:43 |
| scguy318 | bododo: the restricted drivers for Broadcom kinda suck | 10:43 |
| bododo | brobostigon: I see :) | 10:43 |
| bododo | scguy318: impossible, i'm on ppc | 10:43 |
| porkpie | jrib:did you see the post | 10:43 |
| OIM | ı want to ask 1 more questıon | 10:43 |
| bododo | scguy318: yes, but i used the airportextreme driver shipped with OS X | 10:43 |
| scguy318 | bododo: ah | 10:43 |
| OIM | every day prog makes update | 10:43 |
| jrib | porkpie: yes, is that script just looking directly for /lib/tools.jar? | 10:43 |
| bododo | yes, better than fwcutter bcm one | 10:44 |
| OIM | my hdd will be full so on | 10:44 |
| scguy318 | bododo: mm, I'm not knowledgeable with Ubuntu on PPC unfortunately :( | 10:44 |
| Taggard | Anyone know how to get my Apple Keyboard buttons working in Ubuntu Gusty? | 10:44 |
| bododo | but man! when near (2 meters) from the router it works, farer, it doesn't :( | 10:44 |
| bododo | scguy318: thanks anyway :) | 10:44 |
| sjoerd | bododo: heh, you can't use the OS X driver under linux.. It's even not really advisible as the OS X firmware might not be fully compatible with the driver | 10:44 |
| porkpie | jrid:/var/www/siteinvoice/jbilling/bin# locate tools.jar | 10:44 |
| melz | hi everyone!! | 10:45 |
| bododo | sjoerd: I used that firmware and it works when i'm near the router | 10:45 |

| perpetual | ikonia, I know how to open a initrd.img file by hand, but how can I fix this root device problem? | 10:45 |
| jrib | porkpie: and my question? | 10:45 |
| melz | and in firefox, sound in flash objects, and also other opbjects, ie embedded mp3s, works for a while, then stops, liek, no sound in youtube | 10:45 |
| bododo | anyone else using a ppc? :( | 10:45 |
| brobostigon | i am | 10:45 |
| melz | anyone know how I can fix this? | 10:46 |
| porkpie | jrib:I must have missed the question ? | 10:46 |
| brobostigon | bododo: try ubuntu-powerpc | 10:46 |
| sjoerd | bododo: I've got a powerbook myself, running debian though.. But that works fine with the standard kernel driver and the fwcutter firmware | 10:46 |
| bododo | brobostigon: I'm there, but how silent is it :( | 10:46 |
| jrib | porkpie: yes, is that script just looking directly for /lib/tools.jar ie an absolute path? | 10:46 |
| jxxt | perpetual, My two bobs worth.. Kernel is panic over /0,0 grub is offering /1,0 | 10:47 |
| porkpie | jrib:I have know idea ..... can I pastebin the script | 10:47 |
| bododo | sjoerd: I tried it :( but you know the support depends on the wifi card actually, here I got a bcm4318 and it's not well supported | 10:47 |
| bododo | sjoerd: the fwcutter even says that | 10:47 |
| jrib | porkpie: sure | 10:47 |
| blackfox_ | how can i install file .exe at wine? | 10:47 |
| sjoerd | bododo: right, mine is a BCM4306, that might help | 10:47 |
| jrib | !wine > blackfox_ (read the private message from ubotu) | 10:48 |
| bododo | sjoerd: yes, this one is well supported... look at the bcm fwcutter website, they have a list | 10:48 |
| bododo | sjoerd: that's why i'm using the apple firmware | 10:48 |
| porkpie | jrib:http://pastebin.ca/802517 | 10:48 |

| gaten | nalpha: ahh. well, sounds like you'll have to start/stop em from /etc/init.d/ | 10:52 |
| zetheroo | jhaig: but there are plugins right? | 10:52 |
| perpetual | zetheroo, yes. but it is present in cinepaint, a gimp version for film | 10:52 |
| nalpha | brobostigon: I'm looking for the CLI, do you know that.. | 10:52 |
| nalpha | gaten: it's just stop for a while, or it will stop forever? | 10:52 |
| brobostigon | nalpha, i didnt know that. | 10:52 |

| brobostigon | nalpha, can you run progs with x over ssh?? | 10:53 |
| porkpie | jrib:I did try that earlier and it didn't work? Not is working ....thanks for your help | 10:53 |
| gaten | nalpha: no, that will stop for a while. i believe you could remove the executable bit from the script in the init.d/ directory to stop it perm, but i could be wrong. i take it you don't want to just uninstall it? | 10:53 |
| perpetual | zetheroo, ehh define stuff. It looks the same to me, but I hardly use either. There is no legal reason that cmyk could not be supported. But it will be a major redesign, not just a simple plugin. | 10:54 |
| scguy318 | brobostigon: yes | 10:54 |

| nalpha | gaten: i try | 10:54 |
| brobostigon | nalpha: have a look at packages.ubuntu.com, see if you can find a cli prog rthere to do it> | 10:55 |
| perpetual | zetheroo, color management, color spaces and bit-depth per channel are not simply add-ons for a program like gimp. It defines the core. | 10:55 |
| zetheroo | perpetual: this is what the GIMP wiki says : GIMP also has a palette with RGB, HSV, color wheel, CMYK, and mixing modes, plus tools to pick colors from the image with various averaging options. | 10:55 |
| abhi | i want to buy a new NOKIA phone. which model integrates best with Ubuntu? I would be interested in PIM features. | 10:57 |

| brobostigon | ok | 10:57 |
| gaten | nalpha: you can rename the link to have a 'K' in front of it. that's what the readme says to do | 10:58 |

| Crayzaight | Hello, I need some help here. I am using VMware and had Ubuntu 5.1 installed, everything worked fine. Now I updated to 7.10 and it doesn't find my usb pci card. I have been looking everywhere and haven't found a solution yet | 11:25 |
| tuet | lol | 11:25 |
| melz | ikonia, the icon thingy for the drive shows in the side panel in nautilus, but nothing happens when i click it | 11:25 |
| jxxt | ikonia, melz, i meant going to read. I still see denied and two choices | 11:25 |
| ikonia | jxxt: if you don't understand, don't say anything | 11:26 |
| jxxt | ikonia, I think that is unfair...... | 11:27 |
| ikonia | melz: what appears to be happening is that the volume is marked as dirty for what ever reason (maybe pulled in and out a lot). You can either mount using the ntfs-3g driver rather than the NTFS driver, and remove the file that marks is as dirty (I'll investigate that for you) or b.) boot into windows and defrag/scan disk it to try to mark it as "clean" | 11:27 |
| melz | jxxt thanks for ur help | 11:27 |
| ikonia | jxxt: its not - your suggesting someone do something potentially dangerous | 11:27 |
| melz | ikonia, ughhhh boot windows... heh DO I HAVE TO ??:p | 11:27 |
| ikonia | melz: what is the problem with booting windows ? | 11:28 |
| melz | ikonia, that drive isn't a windows boot drive | 11:28 |

| ps3noob | Hi everyone. is there a channel for ubuntu on ps3? | 11:28 |
| ikonia | melz: I didn't say it was a boot drive. It is an NTFS drive which windows has native support for as a file system | 11:28 |
| melz | ikonia it worked fine yesterday | 11:28 |
| ikonia | ps3noob: its an unofficial distro | 11:28 |
| jxxt | ikonia, Not true I was simply reading back from his report. There is no way I would maliciously damage some ones system | 11:28 |
| ikonia | melz: did you read what I've just put "it's marked as dirty" it may not have been marked as dirty yesterday | 11:28 |
| Crayzaight | Anyone have time to help me with my problem? | 11:28 |
| yassine | good morning everyone | 11:28 |
| ikonia | jxxt: I didn't say it was maliciously but as I said, if you don't understand, don't say anything | 11:29 |
| Crayzaight | good morning yassine | 11:29 |
| melz | ikonia what do u mean "dirty" like it has a corrupt file or something?? | 11:29 |
| ikonia | melz: yes, not corrupt, but not unmounted cleanly | 11:29 |
| melz | hrmmmm ok ikonia | 11:29 |
| yassine | any idea how i can upgrade a package to a new version which is not flaged as a stable ubuntu release yet?(in my case i want moinmoin 1.6 since it solves some bugs im having here) | 11:29 |

| Parsi | Hardy Heron is in development? | 11:29 |
| ikonia | Parsi: yes it is | 11:30 |
| melz | thanks ikonia | 11:30 |
| ikonia | yassine: is it in the development repos ? | 11:30 |
| pubo | melz, in NTFS volumes, you have to do a clean unmounting because if not, in next try to mount, it would'nt mount it | 11:30 |
| Parsi | ikonia: is it stable? | 11:30 |
| IdleOne | Parsi: and not ready for prime time | 11:30 |

| melz | pubo, even after rebooting? | 11:30 |
| ikonia | Mithshark: use either source argument or -i $interface | 11:30 |

| [Ramy] | Firefox 3 beta 1 replaces firefox 2 , how can i run them at the same time :) ? | 11:32 |
| pubo | melz, now, the best choice is to plug the HD into a Windows, mount it, and unmount it cleanly | 11:32 |
| jsoft | Heh, I fell asleep | 11:32 |
| askand | erUSUL: No I havent..thats what is so strange.. | 11:32 |
| ikonia | [Ramy]: thats not advisable | 11:32 |
| melz | ok!! pubo, brb :D | 11:32 |
| jsoft | Erm, the nz mirror for ubuntu is down.. connection refused... | 11:32 |
| pubo | melz, under linux, you can force to mount the drive, but it's dangerous | 11:32 |
| pubo | melz, dangerous for the data, not for the HD | 11:32 |
| [Ramy] | ikonia , but i don't want to loose the stability of FF 2 and the speed of 3 ? | 11:32 |
| ikonia | jxxt: are you reading what pubo is saying, hence why I asked you to not speak or advise someone if you didn't understand | 11:32 |
| Mithshark | ikonia would that not be the correct place for it? | 11:32 |
| ikonia | Mithshark: for what ? | 11:33 |
| Mithshark | the source | 11:33 |
| Mithshark | iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --source ip --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to 2080 | 11:33 |
| ps3noob | Is there a equivalency between videomode (720i) and display resolution (1680x1050)? | 11:33 |
| ikonia | [Ramy]: they conflict | 11:33 |
| jsoft | pubo: rumour has it, that it can possibly melt the HDD! ;) | 11:33 |
| jxxt | ikonia, I am and I aplogise.. | 11:33 |
| ikonia | Mithshark: looks reasonable, I don't have the syntax off the top of my head | 11:33 |

| Parsi | what is "jeos"? | 11:33 |
| Mithshark | hmm having difficulties, nt that it matters but its not even Ubuntu :P | 11:33 |
| ikonia | jxxt: no need to be apologietic, I just wanted you to be aware that be advising people without understand could have wrecked his drive. I wasn't being harsh | 11:33 |
| [Ramy] | ikonia, but in FF 3 alpha8 is in ubuntu repository what about FF 3 beta 1 ? | 11:34 |
| Chousuke | ps3noob: 720i means 1280x720 interlaced (alternates between every other line) resolution | 11:34 |
| ikonia | [Ramy]: what about it ? | 11:34 |
| ps3noob | Chousuke. Where can i get some more info? tried wikipedia but efortless. | 11:34 |
| Crayzaight | my pci-usb card got recognized under v5.10 and shows there too with lspci but under 7.10 it doesn't show up anymore | 11:34 |
| ikonia | ps3noob: there is a link of ubuntu.com for info on the ps3 distro | 11:34 |
| Chousuke | ps3noob: progressive resolutions are better than interlaced, so use those if possible. | 11:34 |
| [Ramy] | ikonia , FF 3 alpha 8 does not conflict !!! , does the beta version will be in the repository ? | 11:34 |
| Chousuke | even though 1080i looks bigger than 720p, it's really not better ;( | 11:35 |
| ikonia | [Ramy]: what do you mean, does not conflict ? | 11:35 |
| Chousuke | I went through a lot of trouble to explain that to my friend, who insisted on using 1080i despite having a TV with a native resolution of 720p :| | 11:35 |
| [Ramy] | ikonia , they don't conflict | 11:35 |
| lex | but why bother with 720p when there's 1080p? | 11:36 |
| ikonia | [Ramy]: do what you want. the bottom line is the package replaces the old one | 11:36 |
| Chousuke | lex: well, if you can use 1080p, then go ahead | 11:36 |
| ps3noob | Chousuke. So for my 1680x1050@60Hz native resolution, DVI conneted (w HDCP) monitor, the videomode should be... | 11:36 |

| Abu-Aadam | wild_oscar: perhaps u can tell me how to change the port setting for my mail server in evolution | 11:51 |
| pubo | ikonia, I asked in #xubuntu, but I think it's a problem from ubuntu in general... not only for xubuntu, as is something relationated with USB ports :S | 11:51 |
| genjix | ikonia, no such package | 11:51 |
| ikonia | pubo: no, its to do with hal and udev | 11:52 |

| soundray | perpetual: yes. Please keep as much as possible on one line. | 11:53 |
| genjix | which one is it? | 11:53 |
| wild_oscar | Abu-Aadam: on your smtp server address, write smtp.address:port | 11:54 |

| Crayzaight | ikonia: they tell me it's ubuntu related too they said if the card was recognized under 5.01 it should be under 7.10 too | 11:54 |
| ikonia | Crayzaight: its vmware related, not ubuntu related. Please ask in #vmware | 11:54 |

| simplechat | hey. quick question. what function would i use to map a password into a /etc/passwd password? | 11:58 |
| ikonia | simplechat: passwd | 11:58 |
| simplechat | ikonia is it a 1-1 mapping?, and where would i find passwd | 11:59 |
| ikonia | simplechat: what do you want to do exectly | 11:59 |
| perpetual | soundray, no, not connected at all. But the ide disks are recognized as /dev/sd*, not /dev/hd* because of the new libata compatibility layer. | 11:59 |
| simplechat | basically i need to remotely auth clients using their username/password combo. I need a shared secret, so i was thinking of using the users password hash as a componant (as thats all i can get from /etc/shadow) | 12:00 |
| soundray | perpetual: so the new disk is now the only one in your system? | 12:00 |
| perpetual | soundray, exactly | 12:00 |
| soundray | perpetual: and it's connected as primary master? | 12:00 |

| FaeLLe | in ubuntu livecd i can move the analog wheel up and down to adjust volume and push in to mute/unmute and it displays the same on the screen........ but no such luck in gentoo! anyone know what is it that allows this to be done? | 12:01 |
| soundray | perpetual: so grub finds the kernel and all, but the kernel fails to find the root partition? | 12:01 |
| bullgard4 | Launchpad > Bugs includes at the beginning of each page a status line "Affects, Status, Importance, Assigned to." What values may take the varible 'Status'? How to interpret them? | 12:01 |
| perpetual | soundray, do you know if the initrd.img keeps any info about what the root device is? | 12:01 |

| perpetual | soundray, as you say. | 12:02 |

| perpetual | soundray, kernel panic | 12:02 |
| mmkassem | abhi: remove him/her from the admin group | 12:02 |
| soundray | perpetual: no, it doesn't, but grub normally passes a root=/dev/sdX parameter on the kernel lince | 12:02 |
| soundray | *line | 12:02 |
| perpetual | soundray, right now I'm trying to make sense of all those scripts in the initrd.img | 12:03 |
| soundray | perpetual: forget the initrd for now, it's not likely where your problem sits. | 12:03 |
| soundray | perpetual: how are you accessing the system at the moment? | 12:03 |
| Totiyo | salut | 12:03 |
| perpetual | soundray, I put root=/dev/sda6 on the kernel command line | 12:03 |
| perpetual | soundray, not, I'm at work now | 12:04 |
| simplechat | ikonia, so would pam let me do that? or what? | 12:04 |
| perpetual | soundray, but I have similar problems here, when trying to do imaging for a lot of desktops. | 12:04 |
| perpetual | soundray, but this is about my home system | 12:04 |

| rabidpoobear | hey guys, I have a hard drive problem. My external is auto-mounting as /media/IOMEGA\ HD and it's not giving group/world permissions, just user perms. any idea what's causing that? (it's not NTFS) | 12:05 |
| perpetual | soundray, right. Well, I can do that tonight when I get home. It is 13:05 where I live. | 12:05 |
| devilsadvocate | rabidpoobear, i believe that is the default behaviour | 12:05 |
| brobostigon | hi | 12:05 |
| rabidpoobear | devilsadvocate: right, but I can't change the permissions once it's mounted | 12:06 |
| rabidpoobear | devilsadvocate: and I need it to be world-readable | 12:06 |
| soundray | perpetual: you're one hour ahead then :) -- one thing you could try is to pass root=UUID=yourrootuuid instead of root=/dev/sda6 | 12:06 |
| === aherrera is now known as andrecito | ||
| devilsadvocate | rabidpoobear, i'm not entirely certain, but i think if you add it to the fstab it may mount correctly | 12:07 |
| perpetual | soundray, ok, but how do I get the UUID of the new disk? | 12:08 |
| soundray | perpetual: with the blkid command | 12:08 |

| CyberMad | how to turn off popup that show "Another user is viewing your desktop" on remote desktop ? | 12:09 |
| perpetual | CyberMad, that is absolutely evil! That way you can spy on people without them knowing it ! | 12:10 |
| soundray | perpetual: I guess that's the point | 12:11 |
| CyberMad | perpetual yes, that's the point.. | 12:11 |
| CyberMad | perpetual my boss want to see all employee doing | 12:11 |
| perpetual | CyberMad, oh, allright then. | 12:11 |
| CyberMad | my boss already use VNC Manager on windows, it will show all computers.. but problem with ubuntu | 12:12 |
| CyberMad | any idea to hide the popup ? | 12:12 |
| perpetual | CyberMad, of course, without the popup you can still detect it, of course. | 12:12 |
| === J_- is now known as J-_ | ||
| CyberMad | perpetual yes, i know.. if the employee is smart or know about computer | 12:13 |
| soundray | CyberMad: I think I would fix this problem via social engineering | 12:13 |
| CyberMad | perpetual it's same like tightvnc on wndows | 12:13 |
| brobostigon | look in the remote desktop dialog, and you should be able to disable that. | 12:13 |
| soundray | brobostigon: there isn't an option to remove the notification | 12:13 |
| CyberMad | brobostigon hmm... looks like can not | 12:13 |
| brobostigon | i thought there was, thats why i said that. | 12:14 |
| soundray | brobostigon: well, there isn't | 12:14 |
| brobostigon | ohwell | 12:14 |
| CyberMad | is there something system modification? | 12:14 |
| CyberMad | or should i use NoMachine NX | 12:15 |
| soundray | CyberMad: convince your boss that it's bad to spy on employees without them knowing | 12:15 |
| boris_ | hi | 12:15 |
| perpetual | soundray, possibly illegal too. | 12:15 |
| CyberMad | soundray well, that's not my business.. i just doing what he told me | 12:15 |
| perpetual | CyberMad, well, why don't you tell him it is not possible? | 12:16 |
| soundray | CyberMad: that's wrong. Like perpetual says, this could even be illegal, and then you'd be guilty as much as your boss. | 12:16 |

| soundray | atlfalcons866: no | 12:19 |
| perpetual | soundray, this whole initramfs, why is it needed anyway? Why not just recompile a kernel with everything in it for booting | 12:19 |
| atlfalcons866 | but dosent windows modifiy stuff | 12:19 |
| soundray | atlfalcons866: no | 12:19 |
| perpetual | soundray, it seems just horribly complicated. Would the nice graphical boot progress bar be all that I lose? | 12:20 |
| genjix | soundray, how is it illegal when it is the companies resources? | 12:20 |
| h1st0 | CyberMad: just use remote desktop in ubuntu. | 12:21 |
| h1st0 | CyberMad: you can change it so that it doesn't notify them | 12:21 |
| bazzieb | hey there, when i use swat and i click on any of the options to change the config, i get "404 File not found". Any suggestions?? | 12:21 |

| jrib | SpeCon: why do you want to do that? | 12:23 |
| perpetual | genjix, maybe an employee uses drugs. How far may the company go to find out? urine tests? ok. Bloodtests? probably not. | 12:23 |
| SpeCon | i want to install ISPconfig to test that software. | 12:23 |
| SpeCon | jrib, because off this http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9582& | 12:23 |
| soundray | genjix: by extension of your argument, a company could install webcams in the bathrooms and monitor employees in there. | 12:23 |
| SpeCon | ispconfig setup blocks on ubuntu | 12:23 |
| SpeCon | because of that dir | 12:23 |
| genjix | well in the school i went to they used to monitor your computers | 12:24 |
| soundray | h1st0: yes it is true. Note that I said "at least in some legislations" | 12:24 |
| bazzieb | hey there, when i use swat and i click on any of the options to change the config, i get "404 File not found". Any suggestions?? | 12:24 |
| h1st0 | You have no expectation of privacy on someone elses computer | 12:24 |
| h1st0 | soundray: read the above | 12:24 |
| jrib | SpeCon: that's an issue with the script. If it needs bash then it needs to specify that in the shebang line at the top. | 12:24 |
| SpeCon | ubuntu developers have replaced bash with DASH so the regular /bin/sh that is used to be linked to /bin/bash is now pointing to /bin/dash | 12:24 |
| SpeCon | thats why | 12:24 |
| genjix | it is sort of standard practice in business | 12:24 |
| SpeCon | jrib, ? | 12:24 |
| SpeCon | so how do i fix this? | 12:25 |
| soundray | genjix: that doesn't mean that it is either legal or morally defensible | 12:25 |
| === apachelogger_ is now known as apachelogger | ||
| genjix | yes it is legal, come on. | 12:25 |

| h1st0 | soundray: How can you possibly have an expectation of privacy on someone elses computer. | 12:26 |
| soundray | genjix: whether it is legal or not depends on the legislation. Where I am it is not legal. | 12:26 |
| jrib | SpeCon: no, the script uses bash-specific features, that is the problem. The right way to fix it is to change "#!/bin/sh" to "#!/bin/bash" in the script. Undo what you did above. If you really want sh to be bash again, the proper (yet unnecessary) way to do it would be: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash | 12:26 |

| h1st0 | boris_: edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file and add what ever module you want blacklisted. | 12:29 |
| h1st0 | boris_: what are you trying to accomplish though? Are you experiencing a problem? | 12:29 |

| FaeLLe | soundray, my laptop has a analog wheel to raise/lower volume and mute if you push it in ........ in ubuntu livecd it works but not in gnome in gentoo so i guess its a matter of using the same keyboard map that the livecd uses | 12:36 |
| h1st0 | bullgard4: you may want to ask the launchpad peeps | 12:36 |

| althetuxman | man2: good to hear | 12:56 |
| soundray | cool: probably update-notifier checking whether updates are available for any of your installed packages | 12:56 |
| boris_ | just a second i gotta restart graphics | 12:56 |

| bucimaci | lolz:D | 12:57 |
| boris_ | so whats the problem ? | 12:57 |
| soundray | cool: no, it displays a orange icon with a white asterisk and possibly an info bubble saying that there are updates | 12:57 |
| bucimaci | any other ideas?:P | 12:57 |
| cool | soundray, are you sure it does not installed them automactically without the user being informed ? | 12:58 |
| bucimaci | oh and i forgot that everything works perfectly on 7.04 | 12:58 |
| soundray | cool: clicking the panel icon then starts update-manager. You can configure fully automatic updates | 12:58 |
| scguy318 | cool: unless you've set it that way I think not | 12:58 |
| blackfox_ | how to add file exe at wine? | 12:59 |

| RicMar | hello! I have a problem, my system doesn't power off or reboot properlly. I had a way to solve it that is adding a line "acpi=force" on the menu.lst system file, but I don't like to force the computer doing something I don't know why, someone could help me? | 13:00 |
| perpetual | soundray, always curious, how heavy is that computationally? | 13:00 |
| soundray | RicMar: is that an older system? | 13:01 |
| RicMar | ubuntu 7.10 on a ACER Traelmate 291LMi | 13:01 |
| RicMar | the problem is that the 7.4 worked fine | 13:01 |

| althetuxman | bucimaci: any updates happening? | 13:02 |
| cool | Good! i forget password of my newly installed gutsy install, booting in recovery mode, but i exactly i have to do ? | 13:02 |
| soundray | perpetual: image analysis is very heavy. I run jobs on a cluster of 500 PCs, some taking 48 hours. But that's research. Join me in #ubuntu-offtopic if you need to know more | 13:02 |

| perpetual | soundray, just curious, but joined anyway | 13:03 |
| soundray | RicMar: when you don't use the force option, does dmesg tell you what Linux thinks is wrong with your ACPI? | 13:03 |
| althetuxman | bucimaci: netstat -ta | 13:03 |
| boris_ | this is what i get when i start tremulous | 13:03 |

| echosystm | guys, i am worried there is something wrong with my computer | 13:05 |
| soundray | RicMar: open a terminal and type dmesg. If you scroll to the top of the output, it'll tell you something about ACPI in your laptop and how Linux handles it. | 13:05 |
| echosystm | windows xp/2000 works fine | 13:05 |

| bucimaci | althetuxman okay:) | 13:10 |
| echosystm | in xubuntu/ubuntu/fluxbuntu, i can load up like 1-2 tabs of (dont laugh) myspace pages before things start to slow down hard. in windows 2000, i can have a million tabs open and its all ok. | 13:11 |
| brobostigon | lots of lag at the moment | 13:11 |
| echosystm | i just find the performance of linux in general to be very very poor | 13:11 |
| echosystm | im convinced something is wrong with my setup | 13:11 |
| althetuxman | bucimaci: something in gutsy doing weird shit with your pc | 13:11 |
| cool | brobostigon, there is another netsplit !!!! | 13:11 |

| MasterShrek | xubuntu more so that ubuntu | 13:14 |

| MasterShrek | cool, not really, do yuo have root access? | 13:15 |
| bucimaci | althetuxman yeah i thought that this will happen:) | 13:15 |
| jrib | !password > cool (read the private message from ubotu) | 13:15 |
| soundray | echosystm: on a system with ACPI problems, it's unreasonable to expect anything | 13:15 |
| bucimaci | althetuxman thanks for your help | 13:15 |
| echosystm | should i try turning off pnp? | 13:15 |
| kerberosWrk | hello | 13:15 |

| bucimaci | byez | 13:16 |
| MasterShrek | cool, passwd <user> | 13:16 |
| echosystm | also, why is acpi not supported? this motherboard is reasonably old so it should be fine? | 13:16 |
| MasterShrek | replace <user> with your username | 13:16 |
| cool | jrib, it only says Boot into recovery mode nothing else :( | 13:16 |
| cool | what after that? | 13:16 |
| NineTeen67Comet | I know this prolly isn't Ubuntu's fault, but I've got about 5 boxes on my network running Ubuntu. Some web sites haven't been working .. places like Yahoo.com for the wife's e-mail and wordpress.org for me .. they just don't work .. Help? | 13:16 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: your ACPI tables might be fubared, or your BIOS may have not-cool issues | 13:16 |
| Odd-rationale | Sorry, I got disconnected. did someone answer my question? Thanks! | 13:16 |
| MasterShrek | cool, then it will ask you for a password | 13:16 |
| MasterShrek | make a new password for the user | 13:16 |
| brobostigon | soory there, for some reason pidgin froze and i had to forcefully kill it, we were talking about netsplit?? what is it. | 13:16 |
| althetuxman | echosystm: manufacture not providing drivers or something like that | 13:16 |
| soundray | echosystm: ACPI is supported, but Linux has higher expectations than Windows regarding the consistency of the DSDT. | 13:16 |
| echosystm | ok | 13:17 |
| MasterShrek | !netsplit | brobostigon | 13:17 |
| ubotu | brobostigon: netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 13:17 |
| echosystm | well, im running the latest bios | 13:17 |
| adrianS | hello, can ne1 tell me the package name, what provides mktemps on Ubuntu 7.10 ? | 13:17 |
| soundray | echosystm: you can try and fix the DSDT problems by recompiling, but it's involved. | 13:17 |
| brobostigon | ok, thanks | 13:17 |
| echosystm | so i guess this is as good as it gets lol | 13:17 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Fix_Common_ACPI_Problems might be of interest | 13:17 |
| jrib | adrianS: packages.ubuntu.com or !apt-file can | 13:17 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: yeah I know Gentoo but the information is also relevant to Ubuntu | 13:17 |
| echosystm | are there any wacky linux distros that might work better than ubuntu? | 13:17 |
| cool | MasterShrek, its says "passwd unknown user | 13:18 |
| echosystm | or are they all the same | 13:18 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: if you're looking for serious lightness | 13:18 |
| echosystm | i mean i know the kernel is fundementally the same in all of them | 13:18 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: DSL, Fluxbuntu, etc. | 13:18 |
| adrianS | jrib: that does not find it but other packages from 7.10 do need it during installation | 13:18 |
| echosystm | dsl wont boot for me scguy318 | 13:18 |
| MasterShrek | cool, then the user doesnt exist, you arent putting the <>'s in there are you? | 13:18 |
| echosystm | fluxbuntu has the same acpi errors as ubuntu/xubuntu | 13:18 |
| MasterShrek | cuz u shouldnt | 13:18 |
| jrib | adrianS: pastebin the command and error | 13:19 |
| perpetual | cool, mount your root filesystem under that dir. | 13:19 |
| perpetual | chroot into that dir, and do passwd <username> | 13:19 |
| perpetual | cool, understand? | 13:19 |
| MasterShrek | echosystm, fluxbuntu, ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, etc all have the same kernel afaik, the hardware shold be supported the same, no matter what desktop environment you are using | 13:19 |
| cool | MasterShrek, nopes any ways i added a new user, now how to give him root powers? | 13:19 |
| MasterShrek | !sudo | 13:19 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 13:19 |
| echosystm | ok, MasterShrek, is there any chance say... mandriva would not have this acpi problem? | 13:20 |
| bungle37 | hi all | 13:20 |
| Andycasss | Does anyone know how to enable virtual users automatically on pure ftpd? | 13:20 |
| Smaran | Hey. WPA isn't working for me in 7.10. I can't connect to my WPA network. | 13:20 |
| Smaran | I can see it, but I cannot connect to it. | 13:20 |
| soundray | cool: 'sudo adduser newuser admin' will enable sudo for a user named newuser | 13:20 |
| adrianS | jrib: thanks, a second .... | 13:20 |
| echosystm | or will all current linux distros be effectively the same? | 13:20 |
| bungle37 | does anybody know how I can get beryl | 13:20 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: possibly, depends on what ACPI patches or static tables they have | 13:20 |
| MasterShrek | echosystm, it depends, but i would just disable acpi | 13:20 |
| jrib | !beryl | bungle37 | 13:20 |
| ubotu | bungle37: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 13:20 |
| althetuxman | Andycasss: let me see if I can remember | 13:20 |
| echosystm | ok | 13:20 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: your syslog is helpful in determining the ACPI situation | 13:20 |
| bungle37 | !compiz | 13:20 |
| ubotu | Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 13:20 |
| cool | soundray, i added a new user my adduser newuser, now can i give him root powers? | 13:21 |
| echosystm | i tried disabling acpi, but it wont go back to apm | 13:21 |
| Smaran | !wpa | 13:21 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 13:21 |
| echosystm | so im left without any power management at all | 13:21 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: I would appriciate your help very much | 13:21 |
| soundray | echosystm: I guess all Debian-based systems will be the same. Try fedora or Suse | 13:21 |
| MasterShrek | cool, edit /etc/sudoers, and copy the entry for root, except put your username in there | 13:21 |
| echosystm | i cant help but feel like these are all symptoms of some underlying problem | 13:21 |
| echosystm | is it stupid to be thinking like this? | 13:21 |
| cool | MasterShrek, cool | 13:21 |
| soundray | cool: 'sudo adduser newuser admin' will enable sudo for a user named newuser | 13:21 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: what does your syslog say about ACPI? | 13:21 |
| soundray | MasterShrek: that won't work (cool) | 13:22 |
| echosystm | i dont even know what "my syslog" is | 13:22 |
| echosystm | lol | 13:22 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: /var/log/syslog | 13:22 |
| MasterShrek | soundray, thats how ive always done it and it works fine | 13:22 |
| echosystm | i'll have to look into it tomorrow, im not at home atm | 13:22 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: or the kernel ring buffer from dmesg | 13:22 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: ok | 13:22 |
| MasterShrek | echosystm, /var/log/syslog | 13:22 |
| echosystm | let me write that down | 13:22 |
| cool | soundray, ok done you method now, rebooting | 13:23 |
| MasterShrek | cool, shouldnt require a reboot | 13:23 |
| echosystm | then i guess the other thing is... | 13:23 |
| cool | MasterShrek, why so? | 13:23 |
| echosystm | maybe windows DOES give me acpi errors | 13:23 |
| soundray | MasterShrek: please don't recommend editing /etc/sudoers without further explanation | 13:23 |
| MasterShrek | why would it? | 13:23 |
| echosystm | but you know... being windows, it doesnt show them | 13:23 |
| soundray | cool: logging out and in again will be enough | 13:23 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: Windows tends to hide ACPI issues, more "tolerant" | 13:23 |
| === kerberosWrk is now known as kerberos | ||
| MasterShrek | soundray, i told him to copy the entry for root, what more explanation woudl you suggest/ | 13:23 |
| cool | soundray, no X so i rebooted :) | 13:24 |
| echosystm | like i said before, acpi seems to work fine in windows and ubuntu | 13:24 |
| echosystm | suspend, shutdown, restart etc. all work | 13:24 |
| soundray | MasterShrek: mentioning visudo, for example? | 13:24 |
| echosystm | these errors are just worrying me | 13:24 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: you'll probably want to do something liek cat /var/log/syslog | grep -i acpi | 13:24 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: or dmesg | grep -i acpi | 13:24 |
| === kerberos is now known as kerberosWrk | ||
| MasterShrek | soundray, but i dont like to tell newer users to use vi | 13:24 |
| scguy318 | echosystm: really just the latter honestly, the ACPI relevant stuff is in the kernel messages | 13:25 |
| MasterShrek | they tend to get angry at vi =P | 13:25 |
| === ewanm89_ is now known as Cap_J_L_Picard | ||
| soundray | MasterShrek: you have no idea what I'm talking about. Please familiarize yourself with the way Ubuntu uses and configures sudo, before you dish out advice. | 13:25 |
| echosystm | thanks heaps guys | 13:25 |
| althetuxman | Andycass: vi /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/NoAnonymous | 13:25 |
| echosystm | i really appreciate it | 13:25 |
| soundray | MasterShrek: mucking about with /etc/sudoers can leave people badly stranded. | 13:25 |
| althetuxman | change to no | 13:25 |
| echosystm | i'll have a look into this stuff tomorrow and come back :) | 13:25 |
| echosystm | cya | 13:26 |
| cool | soundray, MasterShrek perpetual & all others thanks for your kind help! really appreciated :-) | 13:26 |
| MasterShrek | soundray, ok, just going by what ive always done, i guess it prolly wasnt the smartest advice to give | 13:26 |
| MasterShrek | ubuntu is too automated... =P | 13:26 |
| althetuxman | opps that should: sudo be vi /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/NoAnonymous | 13:26 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: So, any idea how to autostart pureftpd with virtual users enabled? | 13:26 |
| althetuxman | ^sudo vi /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/NoAnonymous | 13:26 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: oh | 13:27 |
| althetuxman | Andycasss: sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd restart | 13:27 |
| althetuxman | users will have to log back in. | 13:28 |
| bungle37 | !looking glass | 13:28 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about looking glass - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 13:28 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: Hmm, i had that on no already :( | 13:28 |
| bungle37 | how can i improve my fussy fonts? | 13:28 |
| althetuxman | Andycasss: did you restart? | 13:29 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: currently, i have to do this command after ive killed the pureftpd process manually: "usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd-mysql -j -lpuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb &" | 13:29 |
| soundray | MasterShrek: 'sudo visudo' is the way to open sudoers in the default editor (nano by default). Only changes made in this way are accepted. If you have experienced something different, you must have disabled some of the security measures. | 13:29 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: yes, ive restarted it | 13:29 |
| erratic | ./whois me | 13:29 |
| althetuxman | Andycasss: that should work | 13:29 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: and ive checked, i cant access the server with anon | 13:29 |
| madrazr | hiii alll | 13:30 |
| MasterShrek | soundray, interesting, i was not aware that visudo opened in nano, its always used vi for me, but i dont think ive ever disabled any other security measures, but ive obvoiusly used root or sudo to edit the file. would those security measures pertain only to ubuntu? i do use slackware so that could by why it works for me... :) | 13:30 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: It says "530 Sorry, but I can't trust you" when i try logging in with my virtual user | 13:31 |
| Andycasss | When i enter the "usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd-mysql -j -lpuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb &" command manually, it works | 13:31 |
| soundray | MasterShrek: yes, I think this is Ubuntu-specific, or it might be inherited from Debian, not sure. | 13:31 |
| MasterShrek | ic | 13:31 |
| Andycasss | Thing is, i want this to be an automatic procedure... | 13:32 |
| madrazr | how to download a package and all its Dependencies so that I can install that package on a different machine not connected to Net??? | 13:32 |
| madrazr | Plz Help this is urgently needed | 13:32 |
| soundray | madrazr: you need the howto on using apt offline. Hold on, I'll look it up... | 13:32 |
| ikonia | madrazr: you can download them direct from the repo. | 13:32 |
| scguy318 | !aptoncd | 13:33 |
| RCOMALTA | Hello i am ferst time user ubuntu | 13:33 |
| ikonia | e | 13:33 |
| dgjones | madrazr, do a search on http://packages.ubuntu.com/, you sould be able to save the package and install from that | 13:33 |
| RCOMALTA | the server ver is GUI ? | 13:33 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: please ask your question | 13:33 |
| ubotu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 13:33 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: no | 13:33 |
| mike32 | hello | 13:33 |
| scguy318 | RCOMALTA: no, unless you install the packages for a GUI | 13:33 |
| ikonia | hello | 13:33 |
| RCOMALTA | can i do the packages | 13:33 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: yes | 13:33 |
| RCOMALTA | ok thanks | 13:33 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: but that defaults the object | 13:33 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: just use the desktop version | 13:34 |
| RCOMALTA | but i need for server | 13:34 |
| soundray | madrazr: http://batmat.net/apt-offline/ | 13:34 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: the desktop version is fine for a server | 13:34 |
| RCOMALTA | a rely | 13:34 |
| mike32 | i have ubuntu 7.04 and i have downloaded all the updates notification in the taskbar...can i roll off it back to the default? | 13:34 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: the fact that you think you need the server version suggests you should use the desktop | 13:34 |
| ikonia | mike32: to a clean ubuntu install ? | 13:34 |
| madrazr | ikonia: dgjones: Do you mean I have to search for each dependencies and download?? | 13:34 |
| RCOMALTA | ok | 13:34 |
| madrazr | Don't you think its foolish to do so? | 13:35 |
| ikonia | madrazr: that is one option, but soundray is looking for the proper technique | 13:35 |
| ikonia | madrazr: not really no | 13:35 |
| RCOMALTA | is complicated to make server ver with GUI | 13:35 |
| ikonia | madrazr: I think thats resonable | 13:35 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: use the destkop version | 13:35 |
| althetuxman | Andycasss: what ftp proram you using? | 13:35 |
| RCOMALTA | ok | 13:35 |
| dgjones | madrazr, there's normally a complete package shown at the bottom of the search page | 13:35 |
| erratic | I hate linux | 13:35 |
| kondrix | did anyone manage to use Inkscape to make a .svg image and use it as an application icon? | 13:35 |
| kelsin | RCOMALTA: more complicated then installing whatever softaware you need on the desktop version | 13:35 |
| madrazr | ikonia: How?? | 13:35 |
| ikonia | erratic: ok, thanks. | 13:35 |
| ikonia | madrazr: how what ? | 13:35 |
| kelsin | erratic: then you choose your channel in an odd fashion | 13:35 |
| soundray | madrazr: scguy318's suggestion might work, too, but you'd have to do the installation on a connected machine first. | 13:35 |
| madrazr | dgjones: those packages again have dependencies | 13:35 |
| RCOMALTA | any one know where can i dawnload ubuut desck top ver fast | 13:35 |
| madrazr | soundray: I did that | 13:36 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: http://www.ubuntu.com - select a mirror close to you | 13:36 |
| soundray | erratic: oh, no! What happened? | 13:36 |
| dgjones | madrazr, which package are you looking for, give an example, normally it includes the dependancie | 13:36 |
| mike32 | ikonia-well i wish i could get back to the 2.6.20-15 kernel | 13:36 |
| madrazr | soundray: I was bugged out today | 13:36 |
| madrazr | dgjones: I wanted graphviz | 13:36 |
| soundray | !aptoncd | madrazr | 13:36 |
| ubotu | madrazr: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 13:36 |
| ikonia | mike32: you can potentially, but it will be a reasonable ammount of effort | 13:36 |
| madrazr | soundray: I tried that | 13:36 |
| madrazr | soundray: I was totally disappointed today with aptoncd | 13:36 |
| soundray | madrazr: did you get the batmat link? | 13:37 |
| madrazr | soundray: there is no doubt that its one the most beautiful tool that Ubuntu has still | 13:37 |
| mike32 | ikonia - i noticed that mozilla had change in a way that other flash windows cannot be displayed correctly | 13:37 |
| madrazr | soundray: Yeah I got the link | 13:37 |
| dgjones | madrazr, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/graphics/graphviz at the bottom of the page is a downloadable file which should have all the required dependencies | 13:37 |
| ikonia | mike32: thats nothing to do with the kernel | 13:37 |
| mike32 | ikonia-specially related with java | 13:37 |
| soundray | madrazr: that's the "proper" way | 13:37 |
| mike32 | ah ok | 13:38 |
| ikonia | mike32: again, thats a java/mozilla issue, rather than anything to do with the kernel | 13:38 |
| fhv | hello | 13:38 |
| mike32 | ikonia -is it ok to unistall mozilla | 13:38 |
| mike32 | and reinstall | 13:38 |
| ikonia | mike32: uninstall it ? not the best move | 13:38 |
| ikonia | mike32: why do you want to re-install it ? that won't fix a problem | 13:38 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: smartftpd, and fireftp | 13:38 |
| mike32 | ikonia- yep i learned that it is linked to many programs though | 13:38 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: both have same problem | 13:38 |
| MasterShrek | Andycasss, for a server? i always used proftpd | 13:39 |
| madrazr | soundray: ok thanks will try | 13:39 |
| ikonia | mike32 yes, thats true, so why would uninstalling and re-install it change anything ? | 13:39 |
| RCOMALTA | Any one here have mail server on ubututu | 13:39 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: if i launch that command in terminal it works for both | 13:39 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: yes | 13:39 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: many | 13:39 |
| Andycasss | no, as a client | 13:39 |
| althetuxman | Andycasss: yet it works fine on the server | 13:39 |
| mike32 | ikonia -mozilla wont display the java link window in the page i often visit | 13:39 |
| x_zeuss | another question: how can i make gnome act faster, i mean when clicking buttons, opening menus, i noticed that in kde it responds faster to this commands but in gnome is slower, anyway do improve speed? | 13:39 |
| RCOMALTA | thanks | 13:39 |
| ikonia | mike32: again, thats going to be a java issue, not mozzilla most probably | 13:39 |
| scguy318 | x_zeuss: if desktop effects are enabled turn it off | 13:39 |
| MasterShrek | Andycasss, gftp? | 13:39 |
| mike32 | ikonia-after updating mozilla thru the updates notificatioin | 13:39 |
| x_zeuss | scguy318: no, no desktop effects | 13:40 |
| ikonia | mike32: ......java updates too | 13:40 |
| x_zeuss | scguy318: i evend disabled reduced_resources | 13:40 |
| mike32 | ikonia- yeah it happend so that i reinstalled java again... | 13:40 |
| Andycasss | MasterShrek: no, i wanna use pureftpd | 13:40 |
| ikonia | mike32: why would you re-install ? | 13:40 |
| ikonia | mike32: what do you expect a re-install to do ? its the same package | 13:40 |
| MasterShrek | Andycasss, gftp as a client | 13:40 |
| mike32 | but still mozilla wont open it so i used opera web browser instead | 13:40 |
| ikonia | mike32: use opera then | 13:40 |
| ikonia | mike32: your attempts to debug and fix are random. Use opera | 13:41 |
| soundray | ikonia: it's the magic wand waving of the 21st century | 13:41 |
| Andycasss | MasterShrek: Well, it doesnt quite matter which client im using, as im planning to give access to other users and they might use smartftp | 13:41 |
| Andycasss | or any other ftp client... | 13:41 |
| x_zeuss | any ideea? | 13:41 |
| RCOMALTA | what is this | 13:41 |
| RCOMALTA | you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer. | 13:41 |
| mike32 | then again it only shows the java window with a broken image though | 13:41 |
| scguy318 | RCOMALTA: its asking if you want the alternate CD or not | 13:41 |
| ikonia | RCOMALTA: thats the alternative CD - you want the desktop CD | 13:41 |
| Andycasss | I just need to find out where does the pureftpd get the startup arguments | 13:41 |
| Agent_bob | anybody know how to mark a file system as clean ? | 13:41 |
| ikonia | mike32: because you have a JAVA issue ! | 13:41 |
| reel | Hi, I have a sony camera that I wish to automount in PTP mode (assume no other mode available). Right now I can do that by hand "gphotofs /mnt/camera". Is there a udev rule to automount in PTP mode already ? Or any other way to auto mount ? | 13:42 |
| mike32 | ikonia- hey stop ! ok | 13:42 |
| mike32 | just asking here | 13:42 |
| ikonia | reel: udev doesn't mount, hal does | 13:42 |
| mike32 | you are so rude-ikonia | 13:42 |
| ikonia | mike32: your not asking, your not listening and just keep repeating the same thing | 13:42 |
| x_zeuss | how can i make gnome act faster, i mean when clicking buttons, opening menus, i noticed that in kde it responds faster to this commands but in gnome is slower, anyway do improve speed? no desktop effects enabled | 13:42 |
| ikonia | mike32: no, you don't listen | 13:42 |
| ikonia | reel: actually hal informs gnome to mount to be more exact | 13:42 |
| reel | ikonia, okay. I see... so, is there a way to ask hal to automount ? | 13:43 |
| MasterShrek | x_zeuss, do the problems persist with a new user? create one and try :) | 13:43 |
| mike32 | ikonia-maybe you should be the one who shoud be listening in the 1st place , its your fukin job | 13:43 |
| Pici | !attitude | mike32 | 13:43 |
| reel | ikonia, oh okay | 13:43 |
| ubotu | mike32: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 13:43 |
| IdleOne | mike32: relax and no it is not his job | 13:43 |
| ikonia | mike32: 1.) no need for bad language 2.) its not my job 3.) I listened and told you the problem 3 times | 13:43 |
| IdleOne | we are not paid for this | 13:43 |
| mike32 | ikonia-well just quit the fukin job ok | 13:43 |
| Agent_bob | mike32 who's job to listen/help/serve you ? | 13:43 |

| MenZa | Mez, xchat's highlight is an evil, evil thing. :( | 13:44 |
| x_zeuss | it's not a user problem, i tried with other users created, it's the way gnome in general acts, it opens drop down menus slow, they lag, in kde it acts like in windows, click-and-go :), i want that for gnome too | 13:44 |
| reel | ikonia, but I could use the RUN to do the mounting can't I ? | 13:44 |
| althetuxman | Andycasss: can you pastebin some of the log files from /var/log/pure-ftp | 13:44 |
| IdleOne | Mez: Mike__ did not do anything | 13:44 |

| Mez | IdleOne, I know, made the same mistake as MenZa | 13:45 |
| Andycasss | althetuxman: okay, ill examine them myself quickly and then post them up on my server | 13:45 |

| Andycasss | althetuxman: I have just transfer.log in there... | 13:46 |
| reel | ikonia, no, in a udev rules file | 13:46 |
| Agent_bob | so anybody know how to mark a file system as clean ? | 13:46 |
| scguy318 | Agent_bob: is this related to NTFS-3G? | 13:46 |
| MasterShrek | e2fsck possibly? | 13:46 |
| ikonia | reel: I've never used "run" before in udev so wouldn't like to guess, but thats not really udev's job. Try it though if you like | 13:46 |
| MasterShrek | oh yea, i spose its prolly ntfs... | 13:46 |
| Agent_bob | scguy318 nope ext2 | 13:46 |
| MasterShrek | Agent_bob, e2fsck | 13:46 |
| scguy318 | Agent_bob: you probably should fsck it I guess? | 13:46 |
| reel | ikonia, okay. | 13:47 |
| althetuxman | Andycasss: link? | 13:47 |
| Agent_bob | MasterShrek is that the only way cause i dont want to start that and go on vacation... | 13:47 |
| dab | ciao | 13:47 |
| MasterShrek | Agent_bob, i dunno, but its prolly the best way...vacation? | 13:47 |
| dab | hello | 13:47 |
| scguy318 | Agent_bob: yeah, if your file system isn't clean, it's not exactly consistant | 13:47 |
| reel | ikonia, What will be the proper way then ? | 13:47 |
| Agent_bob | scguy318 there is nothing wrong with it, but it's marked unclean. i just want to mark it clean. | 13:47 |
| MasterShrek | hello dab | 13:47 |
| ikonia | reel: to set a hal trigger on a udev event | 13:48 |
| dab | !list | 13:48 |

| MasterShrek | dab, this isnt a file serving channel | 13:48 |
| reel | ikonia, okay... how do I do that? | 13:48 |
| dab | ok | 13:48 |
| MasterShrek | Agent_bob, i dont think it takes THAT long | 13:48 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: fsck -y $disk_device | 13:48 |
| dab | bye | 13:48 |
| ikonia | reel: I'm just reading up now. Feel free to read up on hal and beat me to it | 13:48 |
| reel | ikonia, :) sure | 13:48 |
| Agent_bob | MasterShrek 200g ext2 it takes LONG! | 13:49 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: should take 10 minutes | 13:49 |
| ikonia | 200g is nothing | 13:49 |
| slimg00dy | Yo, is anyone there? | 13:49 |
| ikonia | slimg00dy: over a 1000 people | 13:49 |
| MasterShrek | slimg00dy, theres lots of people here | 13:49 |
| aro | 1177 people are here | 13:49 |

| man1 | hello. thanx in advance..:) | 13:49 |
| man1 | plz advice me how to setup a PVR in ubuntu... i have a working TV tuner card and i enjoy god TV viewing in windows... now that i no more want to go back to windows, i want to setup PVR in ubuntu.... | 13:49 |
| man1 | PLz help... :) | 13:49 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: think about what ? | 13:49 |
| slimg00dy | Hehe, um........... I have a suggestion or maybe it's a fix (new to linux) | 13:49 |
| cool | whats wrong :http://pastebin.com/m6b5ced92??? | 13:50 |
| cool | adding a new shared folder | 13:50 |
| cool | os = gutsy | 13:50 |
| slimg00dy | Yes 7.10 Gutsy. | 13:50 |
| MasterShrek | os = linux actually, distro = ubuntu, version = gutsy | 13:50 |
| MasterShrek | =P | 13:50 |
| ikonia | MasterShrek: don't feed them | 13:50 |
| Agent_bob | never mind. well if no one knows a way to just "mark a filesyste as clean" i'll disapear into the real world now. | 13:50 |
| slimg00dy | There's the calendar program that comes with Ubuntu, which has an alarm function, I tried setting the alarm to play a certain song and it didn't work. | 13:51 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: you can touch a specific file in the root of the file system | 13:51 |
| cool | MasterShrek, yes it has to be but i am in #ubuntu so its gotta be ubuntu only | 13:51 |
| cool | so os - gutsy:p | 13:51 |
| cool | common sense ! | 13:51 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia ? | 13:51 |
| MasterShrek | slimg00dy, what command are you using to play the song? | 13:51 |
| linuxmonger | Actually, os = gnu, kernel = linux, distro = ubuntu, version = gutsy | 13:52 |
| slimg00dy | Well it's not a command, it's in the GUI to locate that file. | 13:52 |
| linuxmonger | Sorry, I had to. | 13:52 |
| soundray | Agent_bob: just mounting and unmounting it should mark it as clean | 13:52 |
| slimg00dy | But when the alarm is suppose to go off, it doesn't play. | 13:52 |
| man1 | hello!! plz help this poor TV viewer!! | 13:52 |
| MasterShrek | slimg00dy, have the alarm run the command: mpg123 file.mp3 (also check to make sure you have the program mpg123) | 13:52 |
| slimg00dy | However it does give me a message, which I also set it to. | 13:52 |

| slimg00dy | Okay, I have rythmbox, I didn't set that to activate the program, how do I do that? | 13:53 |
| Agent_bob | linuxmonger doesn't work. | 13:53 |
| MasterShrek | x_zeuss, why not just use kde? | 13:53 |
| MenZa | linuxmonger works just fine. :( | 13:53 |
| x_zeuss | MasterShrek: gnome is more stable | 13:54 |
| kelsin | Agent_bob: what is telling you that the filesystem is not clean? fsck won't do anything if the filesystem is clean and check it otherwise | 13:54 |
| slimg00dy | I'm on Gnome. | 13:54 |
| MasterShrek | x_zeuss, how so? | 13:54 |
| MasterShrek | ive had less problems in kde than in gnome | 13:54 |
| Agent_bob | kelsin yeap | 13:54 |

| rohan | i've connected an external CRT to my laptop - i am able to get display on it using xrandr --output VGA --auto, but because resolution is not same for monitor, it looks like crap.. how do i work around that ? | 13:56 |
| MasterShrek | rohan, -s | 13:57 |
| kelsin | Agent_bob: so if it's telling you it's dirty, why do you believe that it's clean? | 13:57 |
| rohan | MasterShrek: err what ? | 13:57 |
| MasterShrek | rohan, xrandr --help to see how to use -s | 13:57 |
| rohan | MasterShrek: aha, thanks | 13:57 |

| ubotu | AATW: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 13:58 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: e2fsck is just fsck, so fsck must be run to makr it as clean | 13:59 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia yes it does it either creates the dir or sets teh unclean flag | 13:59 |
| MasterShrek | x_zeuss, i dunno about that | 13:59 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: not nessasarrly | 13:59 |
| AATW | MasterShrek: I've already been there. I've followed the procedure for WPA, but it just won't connect to my WPA network. It sees it, but won't join! | 13:59 |
| althetuxman | Andycass: u here still? | 13:59 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia no you are backwards fsck is just a script that calls e2fsck | 13:59 |
| rohan | MasterShrek: rohan@ubuntu:~$ xrandr --output VGA -s 800x600 --auto didn't work | 13:59 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob exactly | 13:59 |
| turbocueca | Is there any bot here? | 13:59 |
| althetuxman | Andycass: I found the solution | 13:59 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: so fsck must be run to clean it | 13:59 |
| ikonia | turbocueca: yes ubotu | 14:00 |
| MasterShrek | hmm, sorry rohan, ive never used xrandr before, figured that was worth a shot... | 14:00 |
| richo | is it wise to open virustool like this: sudo avscan its an graphical one. I wanna scan all discs so open it like sudo makes it alot easier instead of just going into sudo for certain folders. | 14:00 |
| MasterShrek | rohan, there should be a flag or something to fix whatever is wrong with it | 14:00 |
| ikonia | rohan: to get a dual head, you'll need to use xinerma I think | 14:00 |
| MasterShrek | richo, what do u need to scan for virii for? | 14:00 |
| ikonia | rohan: not sure if xrandr is capable | 14:00 |
| scguy318 | MasterShrek: viruses :P | 14:00 |
| MasterShrek | =P | 14:00 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia e2fsck will either creates the lost+found dir or sets the unclean flag, if the dir is not there. and that's how it was marked unclean | 14:00 |
| rohan | ikonia: ah yes, i had heard something like that | 14:00 |
| AATW | MasterShrek: I've already been there. I've followed the procedure for WPA, but it just won't connect to my WPA network. It sees it, but won't join! | 14:00 |
| * MasterShrek fails elementary english, and retakes it | 14:01 | |

| * N3bunel saluta | 14:01 | |
| MasterShrek | AATW, did you manually edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf? | 14:01 |
| Agent_bob | and i'm not wasting the hours waiting on fsck to make dirs that i'm only going to rm anyway. | 14:01 |
| AATW | MasterShrek: Nope. | 14:01 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: then don't do it, and stop complaining | 14:01 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: it shouldn't take hours | 14:01 |
| turbocueca | !slackware | 14:02 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia heh yeah right like you ran fsck on mounted file systems. please stop helping me. | 14:02 |

| ikonia | Agent_bob: it should take less time if its "clean" as you say | 14:02 |
| MasterShrek | rohan, well if the monitor is not widescreen then you are probably going to have errors no matter what way you do it, btw what kinda gfx card do u have? | 14:02 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: I didn't run fsck on a mounted file system | 14:02 |
| MasterShrek | turbocueca, #slackware | 14:02 |

| MasterShrek | AATW, hang on ill get you a link | 14:04 |
| AATW | Thanks. | 14:04 |
| richo | So is it quite safe runni'n virustool with sudo? and also since it's an graphical one is it correct to: "sudo avscan" Believe in an older ubuntu you should run something lite gtksudo or so?! runni'n 7,1 now | 14:04 |

| Agent_bob | ikonia like i told you it wasn't checked. all it did was looked at the clean bit and said OK it's good. if you force a check on it you might learn something you dumb jackass | 14:08 |

| Gin | hi | 14:08 |
| shan | rar p[password] test.rar error , why ? | 14:08 |

| kerberosWrk | a mne dysky pryslaly ))) | 14:08 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: thats what I'm telling you to do - run a check on it it will set the clean bit ! | 14:08 |
| Gin | how do I know if Ihave USB 1.0 or 2.0 on Ubuntu? | 14:08 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: and if you call me names again, I'll request you lave | 14:08 |

| Crosswing | I've got a HP LaserJet printer and it prints raw data... how would I change its personality? I don't seem to find that setting. | 14:08 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia only mentioned what you are acting like. | 14:09 |
| Agent_bob | a dumb jackass | 14:09 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: I'm not, I'm giving you the answer | 14:09 |
| kelsin | Agent_bob: if you honestly refuse to run the program that's made to clean a ext2 filesystem then you're only other option is to learn how tune2fs checks for the clean bit and set it yourself | 14:09 |
| ikonia | kelsin: I really don't get it, I've just removes lost+found, ran a check and it passed, no dirty bit | 14:10 |
| ikonia | kelsin: which is exactly what he wanted | 14:10 |
| althetuxman | Andycasss: hope i helped. | 14:10 |
| kelsin | ikonia: whether it does ot not, really doesn't matter in the long run, I've run fsck on some pretty huge filesystems recently and it does finish in like 5-10 minutes, esp on "clean" ones :) | 14:10 |
| MasterShrek | AATW, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=130227p=423584 scroll down a bit | 14:10 |
| kelsin | ikonia: anyway off to work :) | 14:10 |

| martint | Hi , My MySQL admin user seem to have loos its rights also debian-sys-maint. Any way to restore it? | 14:11 |
| MasterShrek | Gin, 2.0 if your hardware supports it | 14:11 |
| Gin | master, but how do I know if my hardware support it or not? | 14:11 |
| Gin | MasterShrek: ^ | 14:11 |
| AATW | Thanks, MasterkShrek. | 14:11 |
| void^ | ikonia: you didn't really run fsck on it - without -f it just looked at the filesystem, saw the clean flag, and went back to sleep. | 14:12 |
| ikonia | void^: it sets it as clean though | 14:12 |
| void^ | ikonia: in your paste it was clean to begin with | 14:12 |
| MasterShrek | Gin, i dont know, if your hardware is newer, within the last 3-5 yrs its prolly 2.0 (i cant say for sure, i dont know how long 2.0 has been aroud) | 14:12 |
| ikonia | void it shouldn't have been as I "removed" lost+found | 14:12 |
| MasterShrek | s/aroud/around | 14:12 |
| ikonia | void^: according to AATW | 14:13 |
| ikonia | void^: according to agent_bob sorry | 14:13 |
| ikonia | void^: the bottom line he didn't want to work it through | 14:13 |
| AATW | MasterShrek, I've saved the conf file. Now what? | 14:13 |
| MasterShrek | AATW, what have you been using to connect? | 14:13 |
| AATW | I'm on Ethernet atm. | 14:13 |
| MasterShrek | AATW, ive always just used straight command line | 14:13 |
| MasterShrek | AATW, i mean as a program | 14:13 |
| AATW | Oh, Terminal. | 14:13 |
| richo | Should i ask again or is just waiting? ;) | 14:14 |
| void^ | ikonia: i think his problem is that he thinks the creation of lost+found wastes time (which it doesn't), but regarding e2fsck creating lost+found if actually run he was right | 14:14 |
| AATW | Is how I edited the file, MasterShrek. | 14:14 |
| AATW | But NetworkManager to connect, I guess, MasterShrek. | 14:14 |
| scguy318 | ikonia: I just tried what he suggested, void^ is right | 14:14 |
| MasterShrek | AATW, i dont know for sure, but i think network manager should see that file | 14:14 |
| ikonia | void^: I didn't see he was wrong on the creation, but he just wanted the clean bit marking | 14:14 |
| ikonia | scguy318: yes, I know what he's saying is right, but not what agent_bob was saying | 14:14 |
| void^ | ikonia: again, your filesystem was clean to begin with - if it starts out unclean lost+found will be created before it is marked clean | 14:15 |
| ikonia | void I realise that, but thats 30 seconds, he was saying thats hours | 14:15 |
| AATW | How would I know if it sees it, MasterShrek? And is there any other way to connect to the network | 14:15 |
| scguy318 | ikonia: if you do e2fsck -y on the partition and it lacks lost+found, and you say no to its request, then the filesystem will be marked dirty I believe | 14:15 |
| Technoid_India | Hi everyone.... | 14:16 |
| ikonia | scguy318: yes, thats correct, but thats not what agent_bob was asking for | 14:16 |
| MrJeep | hi | 14:16 |
| void^ | ikonia: if he has a full 200gb unjournalled ext2 partition it may very well take hours - that's why nobody uses filesystems without a journal anymore | 14:16 |
| scguy318 | ikonia: ah ok | 14:16 |
| MasterShrek | AATW, use the wpa_supplicant command from the command line | 14:16 |
| ikonia | void^: to just mark the clean but shouldn't take hours | 14:16 |
| MrJeep | I'm wondering where (in gnome) I can set the power setting to "maximum performances". I didn't find in the the power management panel | 14:16 |
| void^ | ikonia: well, that's just asking for data loss :-) | 14:17 |
| richo | Between when making a "launcher" is it anyway good to "&" after application? :D | 14:17 |
| ikonia | void^: I agree with that, which is why I told him not to do it and do the full check | 14:17 |
| MasterShrek | AATW, iwconfig <interface> essid <network name> then wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d wext -i <interface> then dhclient3 <interface> | 14:17 |
| MasterShrek | AATW, it may not be -i wext though, depends on your card | 14:17 |
| AATW | You've lost me, MasterShrek. | 14:18 |
| MasterShrek | AATW, and all should be run as root or with sudo | 14:18 |
| scguy318 | richo: in a Launcher exec field, theres no point in doing & | 14:18 |
| ikonia | oops | 14:18 |
| ikonia | sorry | 14:18 |
| MasterShrek | AATW, sorry, i just always do all this from the command line | 14:18 |

| scguy318 | richo: so there's no problem | 14:19 |
| MrJeep | soundray: Well, I have a problem with it... I havea 8600m GT card and as soon as I stop doing extensive tasks, it goes to low power mode (even when I'm plugged in). Then, all effect (even scrolling) are very sluggish until the cards go to normal mode.. | 14:19 |
| richo | scguy318: ok sounds "good" never pleasent to get errors but ok ;) | 14:20 |
| AATW | MasterShrek, I'm really not too good with the command line. | 14:20 |
| MrJeep | soundray: I had the same problem in Vista :S | 14:20 |
| MasterShrek | AATW, and im not very good with the gui =P im not using ubuntu, much less gnome right now, and definately not network manager, do i cant really help you set it up i guess | 14:21 |
| richo | Well ok ill run avscan as sudo then i guess. saves so much time and ppl here doesn't make ti much fuss about it... ;) | 14:21 |

| chazco | I'd take anything for now :D | 14:26 |
| chazco | For preference, the numberss and arrows | 14:26 |
| MrGreencastl1 | mkultrax: will that mess up anything? I want to hide the folders that compiz has, plugins etc | 14:27 |
| stefg | chazco: just read about how lirc works. open a termnal and press some buttons on the remote. you'll get keycodes, but you will have to map them yourself | 14:27 |
| AATW | richo, let me be honest: I don't want to learn the command line. If I can't get this working, I'll just have to revert back to Windows. | 14:28 |
| AATW | I don't see why WPA is an issue. | 14:28 |
| chazco | Thats not too bad then... wasnt expecting anything to work at all | 14:28 |
| mkultrax | MrGreencastl1, it might break things that link to the file because it has a new name | 14:28 |
| AATW | It works on Mac OS 10.2 and on Windows 98. | 14:28 |
| mdmkolbe|work | mkultrax: I'm not sure that is the problem. Running the install from / (which should eliminate the effect of the ".") still gives the same error. | 14:29 |
| mkultrax | MrGreencastl1 most settings in your home folder are kept in folders that start with a period so they dont show, like .ssh for example | 14:29 |
| Lr5 | Anyone knows where accessX settings for users are stored? | 14:29 |
| MrGreencastl1 | mkultrax: So there is no way I can just 'mark' it hidden, as one could do in explorer? Oh well, I think that should be a feature in the future. | 14:29 |
| chazco | stefg: is there a command to start lirc? | 14:29 |
| mkultrax | MrGreencastl1, not that i'm aware of.. | 14:30 |
| stefg | chazco: installing lirc installs lircd (the daemon) and makes it an autostart service imho | 14:30 |
| soundray | chazco: lirc has a bit of a learning curve. Look at linuxtv.org to see if they have info about your specific adapter and its remote. | 14:30 |
| chazco | hmm ok... just wondering why I cant get anything to show up | 14:30 |
| MrGreencastl1 | mkultrax: Darn, its really cluttered up my home directory, like 10 folders for compiz... Oh well | 14:31 |
| AATW | Can anyone help me with WPA / NetworkManager on Ubuntu 7.10? I see my network but cannot connect to it. | 14:31 |

| soundray | toresn: Ctrl-L not working? | 14:32 |
| * AATW sighs | 14:32 | |
| mkultrax | MrGreencastl1, i would make a folder called .compiz and put them in that subfolder.. | 14:32 |
| AATW | stefg: I've gone over those. The solution isn't there. | 14:32 |
| owain | Anyone mind dealing with a total n00b query? | 14:32 |
| devilsadvocate | owain, ? | 14:32 |
| owain | specifically how to choose a proper resolution for my dell 24" FP | 14:32 |
| ikonia | owain: ask your question | 14:32 |
| owain | the drivers are installed right for my gfx card | 14:32 |
| ikonia | owain: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set the correct settings | 14:33 |
| toresn | soundray: it would if i didn't use vi mode in bash | 14:33 |
| MrGreencastl1 | mkultrax: Is that safe to do? I just don't want my compiz install going ape on me later. | 14:33 |
| soundray | owain: n00bs shouldn't have screens that big | 14:33 |
| owain | :P | 14:33 |
| soundray | owain: sorry, just kidding | 14:33 |
| owain | well I'm an oldskool computer nerd | 14:33 |
| owain | I just never did linux | 14:33 |
| mkultrax | MrGreencastl1, well i'm not sure about that, but you can always just cd .compiz; mv * ../ to fix it | 14:33 |
| soundray | owain: it's okay then :) | 14:33 |
| owain | steep learning curve! | 14:33 |
| cliebow_ | owain:cant you try some things wth dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 14:33 |
| MrGreencastl1 | alright, I guess I'll try it | 14:34 |
| devilsadvocate | owain, what graphics card do you have? | 14:34 |
| stefg | AATW: i can't help with your problem, but i could probably help you to pick the right strategy to tackle it. http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html would be a good read to start, then enter make and model of your wifi adapter followed by 'ubuntu' into google, propably some howto will show up | 14:34 |
| chazco | According to a webpage it should show up the IR reciever inside the USB stick (dmesg)... it doesnt appear to | 14:34 |
| AATW | Thanks, stefg. | 14:35 |
| r3r3 | sorry noob question but how you remove the join and quits | 14:35 |
| ubstud | hello I installed wine via package manager in ubuntu. But whenever I run something like wine "app" it says "creating directory" and it just jams up | 14:35 |
| ubstud | I can't move my cursor or anything so I have to force restart. | 14:35 |
| MrGreencastl1 | mkultrax: yeah, there is already a .compiz folder, don't think this will work. Thanks for the suggestions though. I hope something to that effect gets implemented sometime in the future. | 14:35 |
| soundray | toresn: no idea then, sorry | 14:35 |
| Sham | Hey | 14:36 |
| mkultrax | MrGreencastl1, ya maybe in the next filesystem created we will have bits for hidden and whatnot, maybe shop for a different filesystem besides ext3 that does have that feature | 14:36 |
| Sham | Anyone there known with Wireless RT2500 problems | 14:36 |
| Mortice | sham: what problems are you having with it, exactly? | 14:36 |
| Sham | :( First, I have to mention that I m trying to configure my connection over 15 days | 14:37 |
| Sham | recently I installed ubuntu 7.10 | 14:37 |
| Sham | and I tried to make my RT2500 work | 14:37 |
| Sham | but I can't open any sites | 14:37 |
| MrGreencastl1 | mkultrax: Ugh, too time consuming - It would take me less time to sift through the extra folders, than that. | 14:37 |
| Sham | I can see the signal strength | 14:37 |
| Sham | and everything | 14:37 |
| Sham | but when I ping my router | 14:37 |
| chazco | It doesnt appear that the remote will work with Ubuntu :( | 14:37 |
| stefg | !ipv6 | sham | 14:37 |
| ubotu | sham: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 14:37 |
| Sham | its not reachable | 14:37 |
| dgjones | Sham, I use a pcmcia card based on RT2500 and i've found it works straight off with no configuration needed in Feisty and Gutsy | 14:38 |
| Mortice | sham: so you're associated to an AP but you don't have an ip address? | 14:38 |
| soundray | Looking for instructions on how to calibrate a scanner -- can you help? Web searches so far turn out only rubbish | 14:38 |
| chazco | Not without recompiling the kernel or somethign :( | 14:38 |
| jrib | MrGreencastl1: .compiz *is* hidden. Am I missing something? | 14:38 |
| Mortice | Sham: that shouldn't have anything to do with the wireless card | 14:38 |
| LjL | soundray, unless you mean something weird with "calibrate"... you'll need a calibration card | 14:38 |
| Mortice | sham: *shouldn't* | 14:38 |
| Sham | <Mortice> | 14:38 |
| Sham | Yes, I m connected | 14:38 |
| Sham | it's showing all the points | 14:38 |
| toresn | soundray: i managed to use 'ctrl l' to clear the screen in the terminal... but ctrl-l obviously won't work in ncftp since the clear command itself doesn't work :) | 14:38 |
| stefg | Sham: that looks like a misconfigured dns server, so the prob looks more like the router | 14:38 |
| Sham | but I cant open a thing | 14:38 |
| soundray | LjL: that sounds like a piece of hardware :) | 14:38 |
| Sham | Well | 14:39 |
| Sham | I m using the same card now | 14:39 |
| Sham | just on windows partition | 14:39 |
| Mortice | Sham: what happens when you do 'sudo ipconfig' on a terminal? do you show as having a valid ip address for your network? | 14:39 |
| Sham | so I m sure its working | 14:39 |
| Sham | I think it does | 14:39 |
| LjL | soundray, no, it's a piece of paper with colors printed on it. the catch is that the color must be *accurate* | 14:39 |
| Mortice | Sham: you need to be sure of the answer before we can make any guesses as to the cause of the problem :) | 14:39 |
| Sham | Yeps | 14:40 |
| soundray | LjL: so essentially I'd scan that and compare it visually with the screen image. | 14:40 |
| === ubuntu is now known as tbanus | ||
| RicMar | soundray: I'm sorry, but I had a meet... | 14:40 |
| stefg | Sham: disble ipv6 and read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625695 | 14:40 |
| LjL | soundray: no, you'd scan it and use some kewl software to make the measurements. now, i don't know of any such free software :) VueScan does it. but anyway, aren't we perhaps straying off from what you intended to ask? what exactly did you mean with calibrate? | 14:40 |
| MrGreencastl1 | jrib: I just wanted to know if I could hide all the folders I had to git that are now cluttering my home folder. I have a knack for neatness. | 14:41 |
| RicMar | Soundray: Do you remember my problem? | 14:41 |
| soundray | LjL: the default settings I get in sane give me weird scan results, and all I've tried so far made them weirder... | 14:41 |
| soundray | RicMar: yes, I do | 14:41 |
| stefg | MrGreencastl1: all files/folders beginning with a . (dot) are hidden on linux/unix | 14:42 |
| Mortice | stefg: why are you linking to a thread that suggests ndiswrapper drivers for the rt2500 when there is full native support? | 14:42 |
| soundray | RicMar: have you booted with or without the acpi=force option this time? | 14:42 |
| simmerz | i have gutsy installed. when i installed it the first time, I got compiz running and i had fancy desktop stuff. this time (I had to reinstall from scratch) it refuses to start up, leaving me with a basic desktop. any ideas? nvidia graphics, with the nvidia driver running | 14:42 |
| Sham | I tried | 14:42 |
| Regarok | hi guys, could someone recommend a good divx plugin for mozilla please? | 14:42 |
| Sham | with ndsiwrapper drivers | 14:42 |
| Sham | before | 14:42 |
| Mortice | stefg: there is absolutely no need to mess with the rt2500 drivers in gutsy. Sham's problem is almost certainly not a driver issue. | 14:42 |
| Regarok | firefox* | 14:42 |
| Sham | but eventually I found out that I dont need them | 14:42 |
| LjL | soundray, define "weird"... complete calibration could be nice, but if you just want a scanner that works with acceptable colors, it's overkill. do you know if it works correctly on Windows, or something? | 14:42 |
| meetoo | MrGreencastl1: use onfiguration editor to change nautilus not to show on desktop | 14:42 |
| LjL | soundray, if "weird" means too light or too dark, it might be the gamma | 14:42 |
| soundray | LjL: yes, gamma: could you explain to me what it means, in rough terms? | 14:43 |
| RicMar | soundray: without | 14:43 |
| jrib | MrGreencastl1: you can hide things that don't start with a . by adding their names to ".hidden" | 14:43 |
| LjL | soundray, offtopic, join -classroom please | 14:43 |
| Regarok | hi guys, could someone recommend a good divx plugin for firefox please? | 14:43 |
| jrib | Regarok: mplayer | 14:44 |
| Regarok | thank man | 14:44 |

| Mortice | Profanephobia: not that I know anything about the protocol, but the remote host is sending a TermReq (termination request) after you send a packet (ll. 57-8). The packet which causes it doesn't seem to have valid ip addresses in it. My bet is that that's the cause. | 14:51 |

| owain | I'm up to 1280/800 which is an improvement at lest ;) | 15:01 |
| genii | idiosync: No. deb | 15:01 |
| dgjones | Sham, i'm not sure what to suggest, do you have an ip address? | 15:01 |
| jurgentje | Hey... I've got a problem with Amarok. When trying to install the MP3-extensions (Adept Batch), it fails (not found or conflicting with other packets) ... is there a way for me to figure out where the conflict is? | 15:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | !rpm | 15:01 |
| ubotu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 15:01 |
| === Xjs-Itisme is now known as Xjs | ||
| Profanephobia | jurgentje, are you trying to install the plugin using amarok? | 15:02 |
| Sham | <dgjones> I m using DHCP | 15:02 |
| jurgentje | Profanephobia: yeps, I am | 15:02 |
| idiosync | so what do you call you automated binaries | 15:02 |
| Sham | It automaticly add dns servers | 15:02 |
| Sham | and everything | 15:02 |
| aussieman__ | meetoo ikonia ?? | 15:02 |
| Sham | but I can't open a thing | 15:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | idiosync, those would be .deb files, i guess tats what you're asking about.... what are you trying to install? | 15:02 |
| meetoo | aussieman__: output of glxgears | 15:03 |
| Profanephobia | jurgentje, do you have the universe repos enabled? | 15:03 |
| idiosync | vmware-tools | 15:03 |
| aussieman__ | ? | 15:03 |
| idiosync | n | 15:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | idiosync, thats in the repos, | 15:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | !vmware | idiosync | 15:03 |
| ubotu | idiosync: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 15:03 |
| richo | avscan / clamav keeps saying i got a trojan. Fresh installed ubuntu 7.1 with firestarter. How is this possible and how can i get rid of it? i cant really just remove kcore ;) //proc/kcore - trojan.vb-204 o i also wanna add that i have searched entire disc thats mounted and no virus there. | 15:03 |
| meetoo | aussieman__: #glxgears post the average FPS if no errors | 15:03 |
| Profanephobia | jurgentje, if so do: sudo apt install gstreamer0.8-mad | 15:04 |
| dgjones | Sham, can you connect to your internal network? eg can you get to the router configuration page and is it just the internet you can't get to | 15:04 |
| aussieman__ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46339/ | 15:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | why not just use the medibuntu repo? | 15:04 |
| stefg | richo: that's most probably a false positive. That's *windows* malware that won't even run on a linux system | 15:04 |
| pipegeek | Ugh | 15:04 |
| * IndyGunFreak wonders why you're running AV software on your Linux box | 15:04 | |
| richo | stefg: hmm ok. seems quite fun | 15:04 |
| Sham | Anyone had any RT2500 issues | 15:04 |
| linux_ | do we need security when we have ubuntu? | 15:05 |
| aussieman__ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46339/ meetoo | 15:05 |
| stefg | !antivirus | richo | 15:05 |
| ubotu | richo: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 15:05 |
| linux_ | ? | 15:05 |
| mkultrax | chkrootkit is my antivirus | 15:05 |
| pipegeek | In the last two days, compiz has eaten up all of my memory twice (once necessitating a hard reboot). All I can think that's changed (unless a new version got pushed out and I forgot about it) is that I've been running opera. Is there some strange interaction between opera and compiz fusion? Gutsy, btw. | 15:05 |
| linux_ | what if soemone trys to hack you | 15:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | linux_, of course we need security, but i think AV is pushing it, a hardware firewall w/ SPI(which i consider bare minimum), should suffice just fine | 15:05 |
| linux_ | can they | 15:05 |
| jurgentje | Profanephobia: (I'm running KDE btw... if it would be relevant) ... | 15:05 |
| mkultrax | linux_, sure they can , keep ur system up to date | 15:06 |
| richo | stefg: Thats depends on who u ask. ofcourse there ar vir. but very unlikely yes. | 15:06 |
| Profanephobia | jurgentje, ok... have you tried to install that package yet? | 15:06 |
| meetoo | aussieman__: how did u install GFX drivers ? | 15:06 |
| idiosync | thanks just playing around tryin to find the best vm for my 933mhz pc qemu had my cpu at 99% but vmware sits at 40% | 15:06 |
| linux_ | it is up to date but what security would you consider | 15:06 |
| Crosswing | !linuxvirus | 15:06 |
| pike_ | linux_: the biggest security hole in linux is the end user and that is difficult to control | 15:06 |
| ubotu | The short life and hard times of a Linux Virus http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 15:06 |
| Sham | Anyone there to help me out with RT2500 please ... | 15:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | pike_, exactly | 15:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | linux_, do you have a hardware firewall/router? | 15:07 |
| linux_ | ok | 15:07 |
| aussieman__ | meetoo i didnt install hem to the best of my knowledge | 15:07 |
| jurgentje | Profanephobia: I'm trying to find (in KDE) what repo's are active... | 15:07 |
| linux_ | yea | 15:07 |
| meetoo | aussieman__: thats ur problem right there | 15:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | linux_, then i probably wouldn't concern myself to much with CLAM, firestarter, etc. | 15:07 |
| Profanephobia | jurgentje, ok | 15:07 |
| meetoo | aussieman__: download the latest drivers from intel website | 15:07 |
| linux_ | kk ill get clam | 15:07 |
| linux_ | thanks | 15:07 |
| Profanephobia | jurgentje, should still be in /etc/apt/sources.lst | 15:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | linux_, no, i'm saying i wouldn't bother getting them | 15:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | you can if you want, but i think its unecessary | 15:08 |
| linux_ | o | 15:08 |
| linux_ | lol | 15:08 |
| linux_ | ok | 15:08 |
| aussieman__ | ok | 15:08 |
| linux_ | well anyways thanks man | 15:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | np | 15:08 |
| linux_ | going to go see u | 15:08 |
| pike_ | linux_: you can play with the rootkit checkers if you want | 15:08 |
| aussieman__ | meetoo will that do it? | 15:09 |
| meetoo | that will make ur gfx work properly, then u should not get any errors wioth glxgears etc etc | 15:09 |
| Sham | Rt200 lf help | 15:09 |
| cobra18 | ciao | 15:09 |
| aussieman__ | ok | 15:09 |
| meetoo | aussieman__: that will make ur gfx work properly, then u should not get any errors wioth glxgears etc etc | 15:09 |

| Profanephobia | jurgentje, ok then try doing sudo apt install gstreamer0.8-mad | 15:10 |
| Abu-Aadam | Am I missing something? | 15:10 |
| Profanephobia | jurgentje, then restart amarok | 15:10 |

| mikebeecham | I saw a tilted one the other day (A bit like leopard) and I fell in love | 15:12 |
| mikebeecham | lol | 15:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebeecham, np, i was thinking ubotu had an avant query, but i guess it doesn't.. but google avant window manager, thats what you want | 15:12 |
| richo | Abu-Aadam: ill leave now before imake ppl made! ciao and have a nice weekend | 15:12 |
| richo | mad | 15:12 |
| Sham | Anyone know any RT2500 wireless card instalation guide | 15:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sham, have you tried just following the normal wireless guides, and using ndiswrapper? | 15:13 |

| Sham | I did, but | 15:13 |

| PhenomX4 | FREAK OUT!!! use mysqld_safe | 15:14 |
| Luke | I'm running gutsy and I still get prompted for a keyring password to use networkmanager after login. It does not provide the checkbox to disable this. Any suggestions? | 15:14 |
| ikonia | PhenomX4: please calm down | 15:14 |
| PhenomX4 | you'll have to look for a guide via google (which there are PLENTY of) | 15:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sham, i really don't know... | 15:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | !wireless | Sham | 15:14 |

| idiosync | lol i know | 15:15 |
| Silmeria | i kinda got my screen working... its still not full screen now there is only black edges on the right and left sides | 15:15 |
| Sham | Thanks Idios, hopefully It will help since I m trying more than 10 days | 15:15 |
| ikonia | idiosync: so why give it to an ubuntu user | 15:15 |
| perpetual | ikonia, soundray at work I just tried to recreate the problem with booting after copying a system over to another harddisk with my rsync method | 15:16 |
| jurgentje | Profanephobia: done it... but on launch, Amarok still seems to download a bunch of other stuff, but I don't get to see what it all downloads... so I can't manually install all those :s | 15:16 |
| ikonia | Sham: I advise you not to follow that guide | 15:16 |
| ikonia | perpetual: oh yes | 15:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 15:16 |
| idiosync | i been using fedora for years trying ubuntu | 15:16 |
| jurgentje | still can't play my podcasts... :p | 15:16 |
| mikebeecham | IndyGunFreak: looks great | 15:16 |
| PhenomX4 | there's nothing harmful about doing it... | 15:16 |
| ikonia | idiosync so ? you've just given an ubuntu user a fedora guided method | 15:16 |
| perpetual | ikonia, soundray well the problem did not recur. | 15:16 |
| idiosync | not really much difference | 15:16 |
| ikonia | perpetual: really, now that is interesting to know | 15:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebeecham, if thats your thing i refer the normal Gnome. | 15:16 |
| atlfalcons866 | is there a dvd with kubuntu ubuntu and xubuntu on the same disc? | 15:16 |
| jurgentje | Profanephobia: can I PM you (it's easier to talk) | 15:16 |
| Profanephobia | jurgentje, thats fine | 15:17 |
| ikonia | idiosync: have you tried it on an ubuntu machine, with ubuntu paths and package versions ? | 15:17 |
| PhenomX4 | it's a kernel driver/module. that's in *EVERY* Linux distro. | 15:17 |
| bonsaiMonkey | can someone help me? how can i change from s-video to composit on nvidia couse when i clone my screen to my tv its black and white | 15:17 |
| mikebeecham | IndyGunFreak: I'm a new linux user, so I'm experiencing all I can until I settle down | 15:17 |
| idiosync | sorry i will refrain from blurting | 15:17 |
| mikebeecham | I had a mac in the past, ergo... | 15:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | atlfalcons866, i don't know bout the same disk, but i know they sell all 3 disks | 15:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebeecham, understood. | 15:17 |
| atlfalcons866 | then whats on the ubuntu dvd | 15:17 |
| rpj8 | How do I remove orphaned dependences with apt-get? | 15:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | atlfalcons866, its really useful for folks on dial up, as a BUNCH of packages are on the disk, thus not requiring access to the internet | 15:18 |
| PhenomX4 | rpj8; apt-get autoremove | 15:18 |
| mikebeecham | IndyGunFreak: ...I do like gnome...and I'm trying to replace the ubuntu logo with a foot logo, but it's proving more difficult than it should!!! | 15:18 |
| rpj8 | PhenomX4: Appreciated. thanks | 15:18 |
| PhenomX4 | no prob. | 15:18 |
| RCOMALTA | there is any way to setup mail server icons not text ?? | 15:18 |

| ikonia | PhenomX4: sorry I was away from screen, what's up | 15:18 |
| PhenomX4 | are you an opper by chance? | 15:19 |
| Abu-Aadam | can somebody tell me how to get emerald themes working | 15:19 |
| ikonia | PhenomX4: nein | 15:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | ya, i'm not sure how to do that.... i'm sure it can be done though, mine looks like the Mac Square head, but its part of my theme. | 15:19 |
| ikonia | PhenomX4: well, not in this channel. | 15:19 |
| Abu-Aadam | i'v installed new themes they don't show up in the manager though | 15:19 |
| mikebeecham | what theme do you have? | 15:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebeecham, why not just try Gnome Debian..lol, it has the foot there. | 15:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebeecham, hang on. | 15:19 |
| PhenomX4 | ikonia; ah, n/m. I was just going to make a simple point. irrelevant now. | 15:19 |
| mikebeecham | IndyGunFreak : because I'm struggling with ubuntu at the moment....got to walk before I can run!!! | 15:19 |
| PhenomX4 | food time. | 15:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebeecham, understood. | 15:19 |

| hums | Hi folks. need help here. I v just installed Ubuntu 7.10 at work computer. It is now dual boot. I usually print in XP via Standard TCP/IP printer. I dont know the server name but to setup the printer in XP, I just put IP address and port and select printer type. How do I set this in Gutsy? Thx | 15:21 |
| alakx | Hello, in ubuntu 7.10, where can i change the startup command for pure-ftpd ? | 15:21 |
| Luke | I'm running gutsy and I still get prompted for a keyring password to use networkmanager after login. It does not provide the checkbox to disable this. Any suggestions? | 15:22 |
| corruptionoflulz | Abu-Aadam: you could try posting on the forums, then people can look over it and not have to reply instantly | 15:22 |
| Andycasss | Is there something equivalent to xinetd in ubuntu? | 15:23 |
| === doppler is now known as dopplerdeffect | ||
| alakx | I mean, where can i modify the start command for pure-ftp ? | 15:23 |
| alakx | In which file are they located | 15:23 |
| Andycasss | alakx: im looking for the same thing | 15:23 |
| perpetual | ikonia, so it may actually be a jumper problem on the harddisk. | 15:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebeecham, i can't find it unfortunately, it was on GNome-look.org really though its just the icon set, etc. | 15:23 |
| ikonia | perpetual: thats a reasonable call, but at the same time it does start to boot, so I'd be surprised. perpetual very interesting issue | 15:23 |
| mikebeecham | IndyGunFreak : will look at that one | 15:23 |
| monfreex | join #codeigniter | 15:24 |
| perpetual | ikonia, the test I just did was on a machine with sata disks, so not exactly the same. libata issues would not be tested with respect to the backwards compatibility for pata. | 15:24 |
| === ciacon__ is now known as ciacon_ | ||
| mathen | I've recently installed Ubuntu 7.10. And when I try to turn on visual effects, I get an error message saying Desktop Effects could not be enabled. What should I do? | 15:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebeecham, gimme a second, i'll brb... i think i have it in my bookmarks onmy laptop | 15:25 |
| brandon | i have a problem.... ubuntu will not read alll files on a data dvd | 15:26 |
| === ciacon_ is now known as ciacon | ||
| === ciacon is now known as ciacon__ | ||
| perpetual | ikonia, I think that with the absence of other disks, grub will call the only disk (hd0) even when it is in fact secondary on the ide chain. | 15:26 |
| Hammer89 | Mathen: I'm guessing go to system-administration-restricted drivers management | 15:26 |
| === ciacon__ is now known as ciacon | ||
| ikonia | perpetual: I would agree with that as grub is dynamic so (hd1) would become (hd0) | 15:26 |
| codesnik | looks like my system is broken totally. can I reinstall ubuntu from scratch, but have my /home persist reinstallation? | 15:27 |
| mikebeecham | ok | 15:27 |
| brandon | why cant i read all files on a dvd? | 15:27 |
| dgjones | codesnik, is your /home a seperate partition? | 15:27 |
| rpj8 | codesnik: Yes, if you move it to a separate partition | 15:27 |
| perpetual | ikonia, but I don't know what the kernel will do now. Normally it would call it /dev/hdb, but with the new libata code I assume the only disk would still be called /dev/sda. | 15:27 |
| codesnik | no, it's on the same partition, unfortunatelly | 15:27 |
| ikonia | perpetual: it should still reference /dev/sd | 15:27 |
| rpj8 | codesnik: Create a new partition, move your /home directory to it, and then reinstall | 15:28 |
| mathen | Hammer89 , it said another Synapic running in inte....." and then quit | 15:28 |
| codesnik | and it just not enough space to create one more | 15:28 |
| codesnik | damn, looks like i have to buy another 500gb | 15:28 |
| rpj8 | codesnik: Then delete some stuff. | 15:28 |
| PhenomX4 | I just bought 2 | 15:28 |
| Hammer89 | Mathen: Hmm... I'm not sure what to say then... I haven't gotten past using a LiveCD :) | 15:28 |
| dgjones | codesnik, how big is your /home? | 15:28 |
| codesnik | 300gb | 15:29 |
| brandon | his home is what he doesnt want to delete | 15:29 |
| codesnik | music, videos and stuff | 15:29 |
| rpj8 | codesnik: GOod lord. | 15:29 |
| PhenomX4 | word | 15:29 |
| codesnik | why not, dammit | 15:29 |
| PhenomX4 | my 1TB is like 60some percent filled... | 15:29 |
| mathen | Anyone know why I can not activate Visual Effects? | 15:29 |
| brandon | code.. how big is your hardrive? | 15:29 |
| mathen | I'm using a HP Compaq nx9420 | 15:29 |
| hums | ikonia, perpetual, I experienced that I installed in computer with two harddisk. During install I disable the first HD (cause it is faulty). But menu.lst lists my system on 2nd HD while it should become 1st HD. So I just edit menu.lst to make it work | 15:29 |
| PhenomX4 | mathen; the terminal does :D | 15:29 |
| mathen | What should I write there, PhenomX4? | 15:30 |
| perpetual | ikonia, yes, but would /dev/hdb -> /dev/sda or /dev/hdb -> /dev/sdb ? | 15:30 |
| PhenomX4 | mathen; try: glxinfo | grep direct | 15:30 |
| ikonia | hums: you've missed a bit of a long story, so your way off, but thanks for the input | 15:30 |
| PhenomX4 | does it say "yes"? | 15:30 |
| ikonia | perpetual: I'd expect it to be sda - not b | 15:30 |
| hums | ikonia, sorry | 15:30 |
| dgjones | codesnik, right, ouch, i keep things like that in a seperate /media partition to avoid problems like that, maybe something to remember for a reinstall, create a seperate /home and a seperate media or data partition to keep them seperate | 15:30 |
| brandon | anyone ever hear of a problem where dvd will not read? | 15:30 |
| mathen | visual... gave me alot of text | 15:30 |
| ikonia | hums: no need for that, just pointing out you're on the wrong track, its a long story | 15:30 |
| mathen | grep didn't do anything gor me | 15:30 |
| PhenomX4 | hmm? | 15:31 |
| codesnik | ok, this is the obvious way | 15:31 |
| Ximal | Does anyone here have the answer to this question ? because until my books get here.. I won't be able to find out on my own.. I'm trying to configure my apache server to ask for username and pwds .. like login pwd etc.. | 15:31 |
| brandon | there are more files on the dvd than what ubuntu will show | 15:31 |
| PhenomX4 | just copy and paste that as one command: glxinfo | grep direct | 15:31 |
| mathen | I'm guessing I need to update my drivers for my graphic card. | 15:31 |
| Ximal | can someone please show me a reference file to go to ? | 15:31 |
| MicrosoftSUX | what program should i use to view every cpu on my lan and their ip,mac ect... any ideas anyone? | 15:31 |
| ikonia | Ximal: ask in #apache | 15:31 |
| ikonia | Ximal: this is ubuntu support | 15:31 |
| PhenomX4 | | is pipe... not a separator for commands | 15:31 |
| Ximal | they don't answer.. | 15:31 |
| ikonia | Ximal: if your patient they will. | 15:31 |
| codesnik | but maybe there's a way to do reainstall and still not have to move thoose 300gb around? | 15:31 |
| mummia71 | ciao | 15:31 |
| mummia71 | !list | 15:31 |
| Ximal | nah.. they just joking around in there.. | 15:31 |
| ikonia | Ximal: there are many authentication methods, and they can probably advise the best setup | 15:31 |

| Andycasss | can i sudo with pass already given to it, like this: sudo (pass) cmd? | 15:32 |
| PhenomX4 | mathen; which one? :) | 15:32 |
| MicrosoftSUX | what program should i use to view every cpu on my lan and their ip,mac ect... any ideas anyone? | 15:32 |
| Andycasss | I dont want to get the prompt for pass | 15:32 |
| brandon | system monitor | 15:33 |
| ikonia | MicrosoftSUX: you don't | 15:33 |
| brandon | oh | 15:33 |
| brandon | nvm | 15:33 |
| ikonia | Bastian: l( | 15:33 |
| MicrosoftSUX | ikonia, why not? | 15:33 |
| AATW | I cannot connect to my WPA network from 7.10 Gusty. Anyone know why this might be? | 15:33 |
| ikonia | brandon: ;) | 15:33 |
| brandon | lol | 15:33 |
| ikonia | MicrosoftSUX: because you'd have to roll out enterprise monitoring clients | 15:33 |
| PhenomX4 | Andycasss; sudo su - (then log in) export EDITOR=nano;visudo | 15:33 |
| MicrosoftSUX | what about Lan View? | 15:33 |
| PhenomX4 | Andycasss; go to the bottom, uncomment the "wheel without password" line (well, the one right below that.. you'll see it) | 15:34 |
| ikonia | PhenomX4: we don't recommend that at all | 15:34 |
| mathen | Ati Mobility Radeon x1600 | 15:34 |
| ikonia | PhenomX4: sudo su | 15:34 |
| PhenomX4 | ikonia; the man wants it. | 15:34 |
| Bastian | @ brandon ? | 15:34 |
| ikonia | PhenomX4: thats not the point, don't give out that advice | 15:34 |
| PhenomX4 | it's perfectly safe to sudo su - | 15:34 |
| mathen | PhenomX4, did you see what I wrote? (Ati Mobility Radeon x1600) | 15:34 |
| PhenomX4 | ikonia; how long have you been using Linux for? | 15:34 |
| ikonia | PhenomX4: its not the ubuntu supported method | 15:34 |
| MicrosoftSUX | does anyone know the URL of the ubuntu guide, the guide for setting up apache ect.. ? | 15:34 |
| ikonia | PhenomX4: a long time | 15:34 |
| PhenomX4 | non-steop, daily | 15:34 |
| PhenomX4 | stop* | 15:34 |
| AATW | Gutsy* | 15:34 |
| PhenomX4 | so have I, it's dumb to say not to do that. | 15:34 |
| Luke | I'm running gutsy and I still get prompted for a keyring password to use networkmanager after login. It does not provide the checkbox to disable this. Any suggestions? | 15:34 |
| dgjones | !lamp | MicrosoftSUX | 15:34 |
| ubotu | MicrosoftSUX: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 15:34 |
| PhenomX4 | there's nothing wrong with temporarily logging in as root. | 15:35 |

| brandon | can anyone connect to my computer and show me how to find a file on a dvd rom... it is not showing up... like my dvd reader just wont read a select few of the files | 15:35 |

| ikonia | PhenomX4: I mean offer ubuntu supported solutions | 15:36 |
| PhenomX4 | mathen; you probably will want to wait for December's new ATi driver... or use the "radeon" driver. | 15:36 |

| === kingrayray is now known as rayb0t | ||
| brandon | anyone plz | 15:37 |
| ikonia | brandon: what's up | 15:37 |
| PhenomX4 | mathen; open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root, edit the "Driver" line for "Device" (you'll see it) | 15:37 |
| brandon | my dvd reader wont read all files | 15:37 |
| PhenomX4 | you could hit alt+f2: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 15:38 |
| * IndyGunFreak laughs because brandon's dvd reader is dyslexic | 15:38 | |
| LjL | PhenomX4, what is wrong with not using a kind of stupid-looking redundant combination of user-switching utilities like "sudo" and "su" together, and instead using "sudo -i" if one really desires to have a root session? | 15:38 |
| brandon | it reads only some | 15:38 |
| PhenomX4 | I don't give a crap if it's stupid or not. it's fine for a quick job. | 15:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | brandon: what files does it read? | 15:38 |
| PhenomX4 | there is no security concern to using that for a few minutes. | 15:39 |
| mathen | PhenomX4, it says Vesa | 15:39 |
| mathen | Driver "vesa" | 15:39 |
| brandon | ok here is the deal | 15:39 |
| PhenomX4 | mathen; change it to "radeon" (lowercase) and you should be good. | 15:39 |
| brandon | on cdrom it reads everything | 15:39 |
| PhenomX4 | I bet your videos look like crap right now, too :S vesa sucks | 15:39 |
| LjL | PhenomX4, but then again, why not "sudo -i"? it's even shorter by two characters. | 15:39 |
| brandon | but on dvd it only reads folders .icn and .mpg | 15:40 |
| * PhenomX4 shoots the dead horse | 15:40 | |

| brandon | it all on dvd and it says installer.exe is not found | 15:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | brandon: no clue | 15:40 |
| PhenomX4 | brandon; what type of disc is it? UDF? (use `mount` to check) | 15:40 |
| brandon | udf is correct | 15:40 |
| * genii watches the horse to make sure it isn't still twitching | 15:41 | |

| brandon | yes | 15:41 |
| wizofoz | anyone who can help me with some configuration of GRUB if possible? | 15:41 |
| LjL | Andycasss, the big (huge) issue with putting the password in the command line itself is that it will not only be shown in plaintext, but also be *logged*. you really don't want a password to be logged. | 15:41 |
| dgjones | !grub | wizofoz , This may help as a starter for fixing your grub problems | 15:41 |

| PhenomX4 | erm... are there any strange args that it was mounted with? (can you paste me the ONE line from 'mount' which mentions the disc?) | 15:42 |
| brandon | like the mount options? | 15:43 |
| mikebeecham | IndyGunFreak: ...ahh I see now | 15:43 |
| wizofoz | the thing is that i have a raid 0 with my xp on and i have installed ubuntu on another disk i have under FAT32 so when the pc starts i cannot get an option to go to linux. it just takes me to xp | 15:43 |
| brandon | ro nosuid nodev | 15:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebeecham: but if you want the taskbar change, etc, you have to use avant, but it is a bit of a resource hog(avant is) | 15:43 |
| wizofoz | is there any way to ask grub to look in both the Raid 0 and the Fat32 disk ? | 15:43 |
| PhenomX4 | wizofoz; I have a solution for that :D | 15:43 |

| rayb0t | a lot of people dont believe me when i say Linux is free | 15:46 |
| PhenomX4 | did it die on you? | 15:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | PriceChild: yahoo nat? | 15:46 |
| rayb0t | its funny | 15:46 |
| mathen | It did, so I had to go into recovery mode and restore it to vesa | 15:46 |
| PriceChild | whoops | 15:46 |
| mathen | But the computer froze as I wrote ctrl+alt+backslash | 15:46 |
| mathen | To restart X | 15:46 |
| mathen | Maybe I did something stupid ;) | 15:47 |
| brandon | the only files it wont show are autostart and installer.exe | 15:47 |
| PhenomX4 | then you're best bet is to install the driver via the restricted drivers manager and install xserver-xgl | 15:47 |
| PhenomX4 | if you want the eye candy | 15:47 |
| mathen | Yeah I do | 15:47 |
| PhenomX4 | then there ya go | 15:47 |
| === jussi is now known as jussi01 | ||

| CrashOverride | why does ubuntu need updates constantly -.- | 15:48 |
| mathen | Or was that wrong of me, PhenomX4? | 15:48 |
| shanky | hi | 15:48 |
| PhenomX4 | no, it's just not needed with the "radeon" driver, which failed for some odd reason | 15:48 |
| PriceChild | CrashOverride, because security risks are found. | 15:48 |
| mathen | but I did it before we started talking... When I had the driver as "vesa" | 15:48 |
| shanky | I'm trying to compile a module for a tv card | 15:48 |
| mathen | So xserver-xgl should be install, let me doublecheck | 15:48 |
| shanky | and when I do the "make" I get this error: | 15:49 |
| RCOMALTA | phenomx4 does your self have mail server | 15:49 |

| shanky | File not found: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build/.config | 15:49 |
| PhenomX4 | CrashOverride; feel free to read what they fix and decide for yourself. also, uninstall what you don't use (carefully!) so you don't get the updates for those + then they aren't running or whatever... so no security/updates hassle. | 15:49 |
| mathen | Is that correct? | 15:49 |
| PhenomX4 | CrashOverride; or just deal with it ;) | 15:49 |
| mathen | Any idea PhenomX4 | 15:49 |
| brandon | can someone get on my pc remote and try to figure out why my dvd will not work | 15:49 |
| CrashOverride | and I'm sick of not being able to use the files in my C:\ drive because it thinks I didn't turn off Windows right. | 15:50 |
| PhenomX4 | mathen; have you tried using the driver from the AMD website because that's a big, big, big, big no-no. | 15:50 |
| mathen | No I haven't. | 15:50 |
| PhenomX4 | oh good | 15:50 |
| mathen | I've not changed any driver, except for when you told me to :P | 15:50 |
| * genii thinks of c:\ and shudders | 15:50 | |
| PhenomX4 | which didn't work -_- | 15:50 |
| mathen | ;( | 15:50 |
| mathen | I can try again tho | 15:50 |
| PhenomX4 | hit alt+f2: restricted-manager | 15:50 |
| PhenomX4 | that's not necessary. | 15:50 |

| PriceChild | PhenomX4, easier directions | 15:52 |
| PhenomX4 | mathen; enable it. | 15:52 |

| PhenomX4 | good deal | 15:52 |
| brandon | this is retarted | 15:53 |
| PriceChild | alduin, nope they weren't. does gksudo work for you? Can you still open up say... synaptic? | 15:53 |
| CrashOverride | what's the address to the desktop | 15:53 |
| PriceChild | CrashOverride, ~/Desktop | 15:53 |
| Pici | CrashOverride: ~/Desktop/ | 15:53 |
| brandon | hold on | 15:53 |
| alduin | PriceChild: No, gksudo doesn't work either. Well, gksudo works, but it just hands of to sudo which then hangs. | 15:54 |
| alduin | off, even. | 15:54 |
| PhenomX4 | brandon; try copying the stuff as root.. -_- | 15:54 |

| alduin | PriceChild: Running things via gksudo doesn't work. gksudo itself works, in that it reads my password and then hands it off to a sudo process. The sudo process, however, fails. | 15:55 |
| PriceChild | CrashOverride, you need to either.... | 15:55 |
| PhenomX4 | brandon; don't offer remote access dude... | 15:55 |
| PriceChild | CrashOverride, bash Desktop/jre-6u3-linux-i586-rpm.bin | 15:55 |

| Pici | CrashOverride: What site? | 15:55 |
| CrashOverride | the java site | 15:56 |
| PriceChild | CrashOverride, Please *always* go to ubuntu first when trying to install software. | 15:56 |
| Pici | CrashOverride: java.sun.com? | 15:56 |
| Pici | CrashOverride: Because they can't keep track of every operating system. | 15:56 |
| PriceChild | CrashOverride, you are in a "windows mentality" thinking that it is safe to go galavanting around google, downloading things and installing them. | 15:56 |
| MystaMax | lol | 15:56 |
| CrashOverride | lol | 15:56 |
| CrashOverride | lol Ubuntu can;t get virus's though | 15:56 |
| Pici | CrashOverride: We're not talking about viruses. You can still install things that break your setup. | 15:57 |
| PriceChild | CrashOverride, no... but someone can put "sudo rm -rf /" into the postinst | 15:57 |
| Brazilian_Joe | there are no iocharset or codepage options on the mounted share on /etc/fstab. copying through 2 file managers preserve the special characters, but rsync breaks them | 15:57 |
| Pici | CrashOverride: which would delete your entire computer, so don't do it. | 15:57 |
| PriceChild | CrashOverride, plus, the ubuntu packages are built to work with ubuntu, tweaked slightly that you won't get from random sites. | 15:58 |

| kamalan | i have install pci sound card intex but sound is not detected what to do | 16:06 |
| MasterShrek | Andycasss, probably in the .conf file for it, i konw proftpd is that way | 16:06 |
| Andycasss | When i set -p range1:range2 argument it doesnt seem to have any effect, it still uses random ports. | 16:06 |
| kamalan | i have install pci sound card intex but sound is not detected what to do | 16:06 |
| brandon | piki i can navigate other folders, and this is the only data dvd i have | 16:06 |
| MasterShrek | luckybamboo, i dont think so while its running, you would have to shut it down first afaik | 16:06 |
| oasisfai | hi, all. | 16:06 |
| Andycasss | MasterShrek: Couldnt find any .conf file, are you sure youre not confusing it with proftpd? | 16:06 |
| pike_ | !sound | kamalan try this | 16:07 |
| ubotu | kamalan try this: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 16:07 |
| luckybamboo | MasterShrek, o.k. and after shutting dow the machine? i don't see an option to reset the ram. | 16:07 |
| luckybamboo | down | 16:07 |
| MasterShrek | Andycasss, well im just going off of what i know from proftpd, i would assume theres a pureftpd config file somewhere | 16:07 |
| oasisfai | my compiz enabled correctly but without decorator. | 16:07 |

| dolphin_noel | Hello :) | 16:08 |
| MasterShrek | luckybamboo, there should be somewhere in there to change how much ram you are giving it, if all else fails, create a new virtual machine using that same virtual disk and allot less memory to it | 16:08 |
| oasisfai | anyone know how to start the decorator? | 16:08 |
| MasterShrek | luckybamboo, i dont have vbox on this machine here, so i cant really go an look where to change it | 16:08 |

| MasterShrek | musashi1, is your router forwarding port 443 to your ssh server? | 16:09 |

| musashi1 | sipior: yes, but it supposed to work. i've read lots of how tos on this | 16:10 |
| MasterShrek | musashi1, use a different port, i always use 22987 cuz my isp blocks 22 | 16:10 |
| oasisfai | I was using xubuntu. the decorator can't enable with emerald or gnome-decorator. | 16:10 |
| musashi1 | MasterShrek: my router is my ssh server (dd-wrt) but yes 443 is the port it's listening on | 16:10 |
| oasisfai | what's the problem. | 16:10 |
| oasisfai | ? | 16:10 |

| MasterShrek | ubuntulover12345, somewhere in /var/log i would assume, no idea which log to look at though | 16:12 |
| foso | it says its not installed anymore, i think it took it out last night | 16:12 |

| jurgentje | Hi all... when trying to install the libxine1-ffmpeg file, I get a conflict saying "libxine1 < 1.1.5" ... but it's version 1.1.7 ... does this mean I can't play MP3-files? (since I'd need those plugins) | 16:13 |
| dopplerdeffect | Does anybody know which package contains the gd header files? | 16:13 |
| oasisfai | when I use emerald -replace, the console prompt something like gdk error. | 16:14 |
| musashi1 | sipior: not the ssh spam, just wanting to get the router running dd-wrt to be the ssh sever. very low power system. i am currently useing ssh on my ubuntu box with denyhosts but not as low power (or as cool) as doing it on the router | 16:14 |
| foso | Optyx: do i want to use framebuffer device interface? | 16:14 |
| sipior | oasisfai: i had a problem where, upon upgrade to gutsy, compiz forgot about my choice of window theme; perhaps you can simply re-select the theme? | 16:14 |
| MasterShrek | oasisfai, --replace (with two hyphens?) | 16:14 |
| oasisfai | how to re-select the theme? | 16:14 |
| MasterShrek | oasisfai, also, pastebin the error, it will make debugging it much easier | 16:14 |

| ChrisMir | Hi, I'm installing ubuntu-server 7.10 on my old debian box, with IDE drives. For some reason the installer is mapping the drives to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb (instead of hda/hdb). This eventually causes Grub install to fail. Any pointers? | 16:17 |

| mathen | It's went into english insted of swedish | 16:18 |

| magnetron | !wine | MasterShrek | 16:34 |
| ubotu | MasterShrek: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 16:34 |
| MasterShrek | magnetron, i know about wine | 16:35 |

| brandon | magic_ninja you wouldnt happen to have WoW would you? | 16:35 |
| soundray | Whitor: some of them go to /var/log/syslog, some you can see with the dmesg. Not all of them are logged, though. | 16:35 |
| Whitor | soundray: ok, thanks | 16:35 |
| jurgentje | okay... did it... keeps installing version 1.1.7-1ubuntu1 ... causing libxine1-ffmpeg to break. :p | 16:35 |
| FrederickAU | any reason why dvd's don't work but cd's do | 16:35 |
| soundray | Whitor: *the command dmesg | 16:35 |
| FrederickAU | It used to work on dapper fine | 16:35 |
| devilsadvocate | MasterShrek, such changes probably will not take place in the same release. Major changes such as that are usually reserved for the next version | 16:35 |
| herbo | Any idea ? | 16:35 |
| MasterShrek | i spose devilsadvocate | 16:35 |
| brandon | im having dvd probs aswell | 16:35 |
| jurgentje | okay... did it... keeps installing version 1.1.7-1ubuntu1 ... causing libxine1-ffmpeg to break. Can't install the ffmpeg lib... | 16:35 |
| soundray | FrederickAU: run tail -f /var/log/syslog , then insert the DVD and see if any errors are logged? | 16:36 |
| magnetron | MasterShrek: are you using the winehq repo? instructions on the link i gave you | 16:36 |
| carnelain | can anyone help me install the drivers for my nvidia geforce go 7300 on ubuntu 7.10 | 16:36 |
| MasterShrek | magnetron, no, im not even using ubuntu, i didnt need help btw | 16:36 |
| magic_ninja | brandon: no sorry man | 16:36 |
| MasterShrek | carnelain, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 16:36 |
| Whitor | I'm trying to get HDAPS working... anyone else have this working ? | 16:36 |
| MasterShrek | carnelain, ubuntu-restricted-drivers i mean | 16:37 |
| brandon | carnelain: system/admin/restricketed drivers ---> enable | 16:37 |
| carnelain | yeah i tried that but i didn work | 16:37 |
| attickid | anyone knows how to get a device name in order to use "xinput" command? | 16:37 |
| brandon | what did it say? | 16:37 |
| MasterShrek | attickid, what kind of device? | 16:37 |
| magic_ninja | the error is a main exception with attempted to read from virtual address 68 without appropriate access rights | 16:37 |
| jurgentje | Anyone understand this? Conflict: libxine-extracodecs < 1.1.3-1 ... and I don't have libxine-extracodecs installed :p | 16:37 |
| Gatestone | I removed Compiz and lost my WM in the process. I can get "metacity --replace" but where do I make that permanent? Now id I restart I am again without a WM? | 16:38 |
| MasterShrek | jurgentje, well install it | 16:38 |
| ptn107 | proftpd question: Starting/stopping proftpd is fine but I still get the error "IPv6 getaddrinfo 'phil-desktop' error: No address associated with hostname" I think its related to /etc/hosts but no matter what I tinker with I can't get the error to go away on ftp restarts | 16:38 |
| MasterShrek | Gatestone, system > preferences > session | 16:38 |
| jurgentje | I can't... because it says: required: libxine < 1.1.5 (and it's 1.1.7) | 16:38 |
| cyrano | pike_:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46344/ | 16:38 |
| MasterShrek | ptn107, ive seen that error before, google it for a quick fix | 16:39 |
| MasterShrek | (thats what i did_ | 16:39 |
| CrashOverride | when I boot Ubuntu it says 'cannot allocate recource region' of something, what's this supposed to mean | 16:39 |
| carnelain | I need to reboot to give you the exact error | 16:39 |
| carnelain | be right back | 16:39 |
| attickid | MasterShrek: An usb tablet | 16:39 |
| ptn107 | MasterShrek: ive followed several tutorials on google each suggests to change something in /etc/hosts but no fixes are working for me | 16:39 |
| jurgentje | MasterShrek: could I pm you with my question? | 16:40 |
| soundray | CrashOverride: if everything is working, you can ignore that message. | 16:40 |
| MasterShrek | attickid, plug it in and type dmesg, if that doesnt give you the answer lsusb might | 16:40 |
| pike_ | cyrano: hmm not sure why it is saying that then. it isnt mounted that i can see unless its a wierd node name | 16:40 |
| CrashOverride | well what does it mean | 16:40 |
| brandon | carnelain ok | 16:40 |
| MasterShrek | jurgentje, sure, if ur nick is registered, else i wont get the message | 16:40 |
| attickid | MasterShrek: ok,thank u | 16:40 |
| MasterShrek | CrashOverride, do you have a swap partition? | 16:40 |
| soundray | CrashOverride: it's got something to do with setting up PCI devices. | 16:40 |
| CrashOverride | I'm dual booting Windows XP and Ubuntu | 16:41 |
| paulc | hello all | 16:41 |
| MasterShrek | hi paulc | 16:41 |
| bazhang | hi paulc | 16:41 |
| MasterShrek | paulc...sounds like policy, clever! | 16:41 |
| erUSUL | CrashOverride: it usually means something about the RAM memory mappings (io regions for pci dma etc) | 16:41 |
| MasterShrek | =P | 16:41 |
| cyrano | pike_: hm... is there a way to scan my usb ports for devices then...? | 16:41 |
| paulc | hehe | 16:41 |
| cleaton | i would need some help to set up gimmie to work with my gmail account and friendster/facebook | 16:41 |
| CrashOverride | If I get a 2 way USB cable and plug it into my computer and the other end into my playstation 2 usb port, can I look at the files inside it | 16:41 |
| erUSUL | cyrano: lsusb | 16:41 |
| paulc | damn me for having a surname beginning with c | 16:42 |
| soundray | CrashOverride: I guess the best way to get a definite answer is to find the part of the kernel source that generates the message and read it. | 16:42 |
| brandon | CrashOverride: try it | 16:42 |
| CrashOverride | k lol | 16:42 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: no nothing is added to the log. You know the led that flashes on and off it just stays on when i put a dvd disc in | 16:42 |
| MasterShrek | !medibuntu | jurgentje | 16:42 |
| ubotu | jurgentje: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 16:42 |
| paulc | cyrano: you could try 'dmesg' and look for recently connected devices | 16:43 |
| kane77 | is there any channel for dia (the diagram editor)? | 16:43 |
| soundray | CrashOverride: no, a USB port acts either as host or as gadget | 16:43 |
| CrashOverride | ... | 16:43 |
| genii | CrashOverride: sudo modprobe usbnet | 16:43 |
| carnelain | well it works now, thanks for you patients | 16:43 |
| soundray | CrashOverride: to connect to USB host ports, you need a USB network cable | 16:43 |
| carnelain | Can't figure out what I did different though | 16:44 |
| CrashOverride | a playstation 2 has 2 USB plugs on it | 16:44 |
| brandon | Carnelain: i think i had the same prob.. simple reboot did the trick | 16:44 |
| MasterShrek | carnelain, happens to me all the time =P | 16:44 |
| CrashOverride | that you can plug ubn plugs into | 16:44 |
| soundray | FrederickAU: how are you getting on? | 16:44 |
| CrashOverride | * usb | 16:44 |
| RCOMALTA | hi | 16:44 |
| carnelain | yeah I did the reboot the first time and it gave an error | 16:44 |
| RCOMALTA | my linux not find network cards | 16:44 |
| RCOMALTA | can some help | 16:44 |
| carnelain | so I uninstalled it and went googling | 16:44 |
| ptn107 | MasterShrek: oh i think i got it, i can't just add to the /etc/hosts file, i need to use ipv6 format or something | 16:45 |
| genii | CrashOverride: I use a Belkin "Easy Transfer Cable", works fine from the linux side. as for what to do on your PS2, beats me | 16:45 |
| MasterShrek | RCOMALTA, ifconfig -a doesnt give you anything except lo ? | 16:45 |
| soundray | CrashOverride: are they A or B connectors? | 16:45 |
| CrashOverride | O.o | 16:45 |
| carnelain | installed it just now and it worked | 16:45 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: yeah it's mystery problem. theres no hdc in my /dev file either I dunno what the cdrom was being mounted as, but yeah cd rom works fine but dvd nope | 16:45 |
| CrashOverride | I'll get a picture on google | 16:45 |
| RCOMALTA | where i need to do ifconfig | 16:45 |
| paulc | ROOMALTA: in a terminal | 16:45 |
| RCOMALTA | ok | 16:45 |
| CrashOverride | type A | 16:45 |
| soundray | FrederickAU: insert a CD-ROM, wait for it to mount, then enter the "mount" command to see the device name. For DVDs it should be the same. | 16:46 |
| cyrano | Here is my output of lsusb and dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46346/ | 16:46 |

| cyrano | thanks for helping out | 16:46 |
| RCOMALTA | yes | 16:47 |
| RCOMALTA | but not my | 16:47 |
| CrashOverride | I wonder if someone could get linux installed on a digital alarm clock | 16:47 |
| RCOMALTA | cards | 16:47 |
| linux_ | whois ampex | 16:48 |
| soundray | CrashOverride: don't try to connect USB-A sockets with each other. You need a special host-to-host cable for that. I don't think PS will support that. | 16:48 |
| MasterShrek | CrashOverride, ever seen the truenuff mac spoof ads? they poke fun at windows, mac and linux its quite humorous | 16:48 |
| brandon | crash... you want to connect to your ps2 correct? | 16:48 |
| CrashOverride | ya | 16:48 |
| joris_ | Can somebody help me with a quick question? | 16:48 |
| MasterShrek | !ask | 16:48 |

| CrashOverride | B is the more square one right | 16:49 |
| joris_ | I have a pop up window and it is off screen how do i resize? | 16:49 |

| soundray | CrashOverride: yes | 16:49 |
| cyrano | thanks for helping out | 16:49 |
| MasterShrek | CrashOverride, its not actuall a square, it has 2 slanted corners =P | 16:49 |
| ampex_ | "more square" :) | 16:49 |
| brandon | it seams you cannot connect via usb through my reasearch | 16:49 |
| ampex_ | brandon: connect what via usb? | 16:50 |
| CrashOverride | Well what if I put it on my modem with this usb cable | 16:50 |
| ampex_ | CrashOverride: what is "it" and what type of modem? | 16:50 |
| soundray | cyrano: it's a timing problem. Try connecting the device repeatedly until you don't get the read/64 error. | 16:50 |
| brandon | CrashOverride: usb port is for PS2 peripherals only.... try ethernet connect | 16:50 |
| MasterShrek | cyrano, i dont know how well windows mobile interacts with linux | 16:50 |
| magic_ninja | is there a way to tell what updates the last auto-update installed? | 16:50 |
| gradin | ha ha CrashOverride nice | 16:51 |
| CrashOverride | It's a westell 6100 | 16:51 |
| ampex_ | CrashOverride: why do you want to plug a DSL modem into a PS2? and how does this relate to ubunty? | 16:51 |
| soundray | MasterShrek: it's a USB hardware problem. cyrano doesn't even get to the stage where this becomes an issue | 16:51 |
| ampex_ | ubuntu rather | 16:51 |
| CrashOverride | idk | 16:51 |
| CrashOverride | I could put the modem on my ubuntu at the same time | 16:51 |
| cleaton | how to set up gimmie to work with friendster and facebook? | 16:51 |
| CrashOverride | I have an extra ethernat cable if that helps | 16:52 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: i tried mounting it it doesn't start spinning and just says no medium found | 16:52 |
| ampex_ | CrashOverride: get a router | 16:52 |
| === mik1 is now known as mikone | ||
| ampex_ | CrashOverride: or if your PC has two network interfaces you can use it as a router | 16:53 |
| linux_ | CrashOverrid are you trying to play your playstation online? | 16:53 |
| soundray | FrederickAU: with a CD-ROM? | 16:53 |
| CrashOverride | no there's only one ethernet plug -.- | 16:53 |
| linux_ | ok | 16:53 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: dvd, i got the drive /dev/scd0 from the mount with cd | 16:53 |
| brandon | CrashOverride: http://www.pcuser.com.au/pcuser/hs2.nsf/lookup+1/DAA9512ECA7A4C6FCA256D9B005D61AE | 16:53 |
| ampex_ | CrashOverride: then your only choice is to A. get a router or B. buy another network card for your PC and learn how to setup ubuntu as a router | 16:53 |
| ampex_ | CrashOverride: in most cases A. is simpler | 16:53 |
| soundray | FrederickAU: did you try the tail command that I suggested? | 16:54 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: yes tried that too, didn't produce any output when iput cd in | 16:54 |
| soundray | FrederickAU: DVD! | 16:54 |
| CrashOverride | a router would just give the ps2 internet | 16:54 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: lol | 16:54 |
| CrashOverride | lol | 16:54 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: yeh dvd | 16:54 |
| cyrano | soundray: how shall i see if i get a read error? with dmesg? And just connect/unconnect a lot of times? I've allready done that. And it all started with VMWare interfaring with my USB device... is there anyway to undo what VMWare may have done? | 16:54 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: they look the same :( | 16:54 |

| CrashOverride | and look at the files on it | 16:55 |
| linux_ | whats that have to do with ubuntu? | 16:55 |
| LjL | RCOMALTA: no | 16:55 |

| Pici | CrashOverride: Is it running Ubuntu currently? | 16:56 |
| zero-9376 | can grub boot an xp install on a software raid 0? | 16:56 |

| brandon | does anyone have WoW? | 16:58 |
| cyrano | soundray: I'm guessing vmware did this to my USB port...? I've tried a reset and reconnecting doent help. I still get read errors. | 16:58 |
| LjL | robert_, possibly. it's certainly part of a package that aids debugging, and as it's a KDE package, what you said is likely. no manpage? | 16:58 |
| ampex_ | zero-9376: we would need to know more about his hardware | 16:59 |
| soundray | cyrano: are you running Ubuntu as a vmware guest? | 16:59 |
| ampex_ | zero-9376: what type of chipset he is using for his RAID | 16:59 |
| robert_ | LjL, http://h30097.www3.hp.com/cplus/demangle_1.htm | 16:59 |
| cyrano | no. host | 16:59 |
| ampex_ | zero-9376: if the ubuntu installer doesn't see the software RAID array or sees it as two disks, it probably wouldn't have installed grub to it. He may just have to change his boot order to get the second drive to boot before the RAID array. | 16:59 |
| zero-9376 | ampex_: yeah i thought as much i will post again and ask him/her to provide more information | 17:00 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: I didn't even know I had a scsi device. On freeBSD I usr burncd rather than cdrecord meaning it's not scsi :S | 17:00 |

| yakov | LjL, thx! i see a Swap entry | 17:01 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: could it be a driver issue | 17:01 |
| mumbles_ | ctl alt backspace | 17:01 |
| zero-9376 | ampex_: that is what i suspected, he has not clarified whether ubuntu would boot once he changed the order in the bios but i wanted to know whether grub would have seen the windows install (assuming its software only) | 17:01 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: should I see if It start spinning in bios? | 17:01 |
| soundray | FrederickAU: no, the driver doesn't even get a chance | 17:01 |
| n2diy_ | I'm setting up a LAN here at home, with the purpose of using the second box as a backup to this one. We'll call the to boxes lr and br. Both boxes can ping each other, and VNC into each other. Br can ssh into lr, but lr can't ssh into br. When lr tries to ssh into br, it gets a permission denied, port 22 error. Firestarter is running on both boxes, and configured to allow connections on port 22. What am I missing here? | 17:01 |
| soundray | FrederickAU: how do you mean "start spinning"? | 17:01 |
| cool | i can't delete the file | 17:02 |
| FrederickAU | soundray: u can tell when it's working by the sound of it sinning | 17:02 |

| zero-9376 | ampex_: i dont know how windows handles the MBR/boot when its in raid, does it still install to the MBR of the disk like normal? | 17:02 |

| paulc | mathen: i don't really understand what you need, do you want to manually configure x or automatically? | 17:06 |
| ikonia | cool run "file" against it | 17:06 |
| mathen | automatically | 17:06 |
| n2diy_ | sipior: that command returns a line that ends in sshd, so it appears to be running? | 17:06 |
| cool | Sipingal, ikonia ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? 6.in1.Mib,badboy.species | 17:06 |
| cyrano | soundray: no. and the usb device option in VM menu shows no device to connect | 17:06 |
| sipior | n2diy_: if the command is /usr/bin/sshd, and not grep sshd, then yes :-) is it on both machines? | 17:06 |

| === ere4time is now known as ere4si | ||
| Marcusklaas | Okay guys I got everything working, customized and ready to go. What do I do now? | 17:08 |
| ikonia | Marcusklaas: use it ? | 17:09 |
| Niculittu | how can i do it? | 17:09 |
| Marcusklaas | Use it for what?! | 17:09 |
| soundray | cyrano: I don't know what to suggest, other than trying to connect it to a Windows host | 17:09 |
| Marcusklaas | What can I do? | 17:09 |
| cool | ikonia, sipior touch: cannot touch `6.in1.Mib,badboy.species': Input/output error | 17:09 |
| ikonia | Marcusklaas: what are you trying to do | 17:09 |
| n2diy_ | sipior: ok, this box shows the /usr/bin/sshd, and the other box, only returns sshd. So it looks like I have to enable sshd? | 17:09 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas: remove it all and reinstall from scratch. then do it again. | 17:09 |
| Niculittu | I'm not expert with linux? | 17:09 |
| ikonia | cool: I said can you touch another file in that dir | 17:09 |
| Marcusklaas | LOL LjL | 17:09 |
| VSpike | I know with generic "Skype phone" handsets they seem to work as a sound device no problem, which is great. I'm wondering if there is any generic way to catch button presses for them? I'm wondering if I can hand-roll my own simple drive using DBUS or whatever | 17:09 |
| sipior | cool: might try running fsck on the filesystem. be sure to unmount the filesystem first... | 17:09 |
| sipior | n2diy_: yes | 17:09 |
| Marcusklaas | no but i mean ive been told that getting linux to work is the most interesting part .. i didnt expect it to be over so soon :( | 17:10 |
| cool | sipior, its a NTFS | 17:10 |
| sipior | n2diy_: /etc/init.d/sshd start, will start the daemon until a reboot | 17:10 |
| cool | ikonia, how to do that? | 17:10 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas, you should have picked a tougher distribution then :P | 17:10 |
| yakov | do i need to execute additional steps to enable suspend on machine with newly added swap partition. | 17:10 |
| Marcusklaas | I guess | 17:10 |
| ikonia | cool touch a_file_name | 17:10 |
| paulc | mathen: try xorg --configure | 17:10 |
| ikonia | paulc: no | 17:10 |
| yakov | i've aded entry fstab... | 17:10 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas, but i'm pretty confident that, as you start actually using it, you'll find that plenty of things are not quite right, and will be annoying to fix. | 17:10 |
| cool | ikonia, then what will happen will my data go? | 17:10 |
| sipior | cool: hmm...file is accessible under windows? | 17:10 |
| Marcusklaas | Like w0t?! | 17:10 |
| ikonia | cool: no | 17:10 |
| Marcusklaas | Getting realaudio n realvideo? | 17:10 |
| cyrano | soundray: ok. but its my ubuntu usb device which has problems now... well. thanks anyway for your help | 17:11 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas: nah even just printing when the moon is bad | 17:11 |
| Marcusklaas | lol | 17:11 |
| CrashOverride | lol | 17:11 |
| cool | sipior, no, but other files in same dir are | 17:11 |
| ikonia | cool: touch a file in that dir | 17:11 |
| soundray | cyrano: you mean you have trouble with other USB devices as well? | 17:11 |
| paulc | mathen: be sure to back up your existing file using 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup30112007' | 17:11 |
| cool | ikonia, done | 17:12 |
| ikonia | cool: it worked ? | 17:12 |
| cool | ikonia, yes no errors = worked | 17:12 |
| paulc | that should be cp instead of mv | 17:12 |
| narothepharoh | how do i install visualizations on amarok? | 17:12 |
| sipior | cool: either filesystem corruption, or file corruption. might try running whatever defrag/disk utility windows ships with. linux write support for ntfs is still experimental, iirc | 17:12 |
| Marcusklaas | hey LjL, i can remember it used to b a real pain to get linux network going with windows computers .. but like it now works instantly :( | 17:12 |
| ikonia | cool: ok - so try touching the problem file again | 17:13 |
| ikonia | cool: is this on an ntfs partition | 17:13 |
| cyrano | soundray: not that i know of yet | 17:13 |
| cool | ikonia, touch: cannot touch `6.in1.Mib,badboy.species': Input/output error | 17:13 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas: try some files that have Unicode filenames. | 17:13 |
| VSpike | narothepharoh: you need to install libvisual and libvisual-plugins | 17:13 |
| soundray | cyrano: what do you mean by "Ubuntu USB device" then? | 17:13 |
| Marcusklaas | LjL: what's that? unicode filenames? | 17:13 |
| cool | sipior, fs is not corrupt for sure, file for sure is | 17:14 |
| n2diy_ | sipior: that command returns unknown command on both boxes, I'm running Dapper on them. | 17:14 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas: filenames with accented letters. | 17:14 |
| VSpike | narothepharoh: or libvisual-0.4-0 and libvisual-0.4-plugins to be precise | 17:14 |
| narothepharoh | Vspike: how do i do this? | 17:14 |
| JuJuBee | I followd a how-to on the forums on setting up dns. I double checked everything, but it does not seem to be working. Can someone give me a hand? | 17:14 |
| cyrano | soundray: I thought so... but its maybe just my ppc... My wrong :) | 17:14 |
| Marcusklaas | LjL: linux can't handle those, or windows? | 17:14 |
| VSpike | narothepharoh: sudo apt-get install libvisual-0.4-0 libvisual-0.4-plugins | 17:14 |
| JuJuBee | When I set my workstation to use my DNS, and dig something, I get no answer. | 17:14 |
| sipior | n2diy_: be sure that openssh-server is installed, not just openssh | 17:14 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas: they can both handle them, they just use different encodings :) | 17:14 |
| Marcusklaas | LjL: ah alright | 17:14 |
| Marcusklaas | LjL: why didn't Linux just use the windows encoding then? | 17:15 |
| Marcusklaas | LjL: it's not liek it's patented or anything | 17:15 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas: uhm, why didn't Windows just use the Linux encoding? | 17:15 |
| n2diy_ | sipior: ok. | 17:15 |
| fr500 | hi | 17:15 |
| fr500 | does anyone use sdlmame? | 17:15 |
| chazco | I just got my USB TV sticks remote to work... sort of (compiled v4l-dvb and some of the buttons started working)... any ideas how to get the others to do stuff? | 17:15 |
| magnetron | JuJuBee: does it work if you use the "host" command instead? | 17:15 |
| Marcusklaas | LjL: lol cuz windows was there b4 linux? dun get me wrong i dont wanna argue about this :P | 17:15 |
| CrashOverride | lol | 17:15 |
| soundray | chazco: wow, well done | 17:16 |
| JuJuBee | you mean " host mydomain.com" ? | 17:16 |
| chazco | heh :) | 17:16 |
| chazco | At least now most of my hardware works with Ubuntu, just a few bits left | 17:16 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas, Windows was there before Linux, but it definitely didn't have any sort of Unicode support for quite a while. and the encoding that Ubuntu uses is UTF-8, a perfectly standard Unicode encoding defined by the guys who define Unicode encodings | 17:16 |
| narothepharoh | Vspike: thank you | 17:16 |
| JuJuBee | magentron: I guess I was too impatient, now I am getting an answer when I dig mydomain.com | 17:17 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas: not to mention that Windows *as an operating system*, rather than an add-on to DOS, was *not* there before Linux :) | 17:17 |
| JuJuBee | Must be it took some time to progpogate? | 17:17 |
| Marcusklaas | LjL: windows refuse to go compatible with linux? | 17:17 |
| magnetron | Marcusklaas: yep | 17:17 |
| Marcusklaas | Assholes | 17:17 |
| holzmodem | hi, after simple restart i can't do a right click on kicker, a normal left click works, what's wrong? | 17:18 |
| chazco | A side question - any idea how i can get Kaffeine to change channels with the arrow keys (which, incidentally, work on the remote as the same as arrow keys on the keyboard)? | 17:18 |
| VSpike | narothepharoh: no problem. The best visualisations are from projectm but I think you have to compile it | 17:18 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas, Windows just made a different choice of encodings. and, language please | 17:18 |
| JuJuBee | although it seems that it did not use my dns server to resolve it. | 17:18 |
| Marcusklaas | sorry | 17:18 |

| rgnr | can anyone help me ? | 17:19 |
| digdug | you won't know until you ask | 17:19 |
| gordonjcp | LjL: so it's fairly new then | 17:19 |
| JuJuBee | sipior on the server or my workstation? | 17:19 |
| LjL | gordonjcp: older than Linux for sure | 17:19 |
| gordonjcp | LjL: not older than Unix, by a long shot | 17:19 |
| Marcusklaas | gordonjcp: lol yea ... windows 3.1 is liek 10+ years old | 17:19 |
| CrashOverride | lol | 17:20 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: workstation, else you won't contact your server by default | 17:20 |
| LjL | gordonjcp: nope, but moot point since this is about Unicode anyway | 17:20 |
| VSpike | narothepharoh: there's a howto at http://cwraig.id.au/?p=17 | 17:20 |
| gordonjcp | Marcusklaas: hm, 3.1 was about the last version of Windows I used | 17:20 |

| K4k-laptop | Does anyone know of a program similar to PDF-redirect for Ubuntu? | 17:21 |
| Marcusklaas | LjL: I haven't tested .. but does one still need samba if you want windows users to be able to browse your pc? | 17:21 |
| JuJuBee | sipior I just modified it. It now has "search mydomain.com" and "nameserver ip.address.of.dnsserver" | 17:21 |
| n2diy_ | sipior: ok. that is the problem. Any idea how I could load the server via the lan connection? | 17:21 |
| K4k-laptop | I need a way to print pages, but when I print it makes a PDF file | 17:21 |
| sipior | n2diy_: not sure what you mean | 17:21 |

| mikone | hi, i just updated from feisty 32bit server to gutsy 32bit server (via aptitude dist-upgrade) and now my machine does not boot up properly anymore. when it should mount my partitions while booting it tells me "you need to be root to do that" (as it would when trying to manually mount a partition) and hence it is not possible to start the system... did anyone experience the same problem? | 17:22 |
| LjL | Marcusklaas, yes, Samba is exactly that, a CIFS server (CIFS is the file sharing stuff in Windows) | 17:22 |
| Marcusklaas | Hammer89: I haven't got it working either .. but i feel openoffice is just as good really | 17:22 |
| Hammer89 | Eh... I've used both... there's just something about MS Office 07 | 17:23 |
| Marcusklaas | LjL: so windows user can't browse your pc by default? | 17:23 |
| n2diy_ | sipior: the box that needs the ssh server, isn't connect to the net, it is connect via the lan to this box, which is running ssh server, and also has an internet connection via a dial up modem. | 17:23 |

| Marcusklaas | szundi: how the hell can you read what i'm typing when you can't see anything is what i'm thinking .. | 17:27 |
| sipior | n2diy_: can you forward a connection from this box through the one that does have the internet connection? another possibility is to download the package, burn a cd, run it over | 17:27 |
| szundi | I'm on windows now. | 17:27 |
| Marcusklaas | szundi: aahh ... okay | 17:27 |
| szundi | ...:) | 17:27 |

| Marcusklaas | szundi: are you dualbooting? | 17:28 |
| palbuddy | okay I think the mount point is in /dev/sdb | 17:28 |
| n2diy_ | sipior: I'd like to forward a connection to the other box, how do I do that? | 17:28 |

| ikonia | mathen: same thing | 17:29 |
| mathen | also, with sudo su - | 17:29 |

| sipior | JuJuBee: hmm...does your machine have any entries in its /etc/hosts.deny? | 17:31 |
| ikonia | mathen: ANY sudo command | 17:31 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: or /etc/hosts.allow, for that matter | 17:31 |
| JuJuBee | sipior : server or client? | 17:31 |
| mathen | I don't know any sudo commands :P | 17:31 |
| szundi | Nobody has experiencing the same problem...?Can I bee sure that my video card is the problem? | 17:31 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: server | 17:31 |
| ikonia | mathen: sudo "anything" | 17:31 |
| K4k-laptop | sipior: this is using a print icon that is on a web page, I will check file > print in firefox to see if there is similar | 17:31 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: ah no, nevermind, it would have rejected the telnet :) | 17:32 |
| mathen | Ok I did | 17:32 |
| mathen | And it asked for my password | 17:32 |
| JuJuBee | sipior : no such file. | 17:32 |
| ikonia | mathen: thats right | 17:32 |
| mathen | Went to the packet... where you install | 17:32 |
| mathen | And it asked for my password | 17:32 |

| mathen | Where you can choose from a huge list what to install | 17:32 |
| K4k-laptop | sipior: the only option I get since it is a window with no file menu bar is the "print page" button located on the web page | 17:32 |
| ikonia | mathen: thats gksudo - thats a different auth | 17:32 |
| JuJuBee | sipior : what do you mean? Im new to dns | 17:32 |
| K4k-laptop | I will try and add printer, maybe there is something installed by default | 17:32 |
| mathen | Ok how do I make that remember my password then? | 17:33 |
| ikonia | mathen: just live with typing in the password, it's too hard to discuss with you | 17:33 |
| mathen | Try ;P | 17:33 |
| * K4k-laptop smacks head | 17:33 | |

| MONODA | hi would like to learn a programming language that can create drivers for ubuntu can anyone help me? | 17:34 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: yes, but can you query it? dig @localhost mydomain.com | 17:34 |
| K4k-laptop | mathen: I don't believe that is possible, it defeats the purpose of not letting root login to the GUI | 17:34 |
| ikonia | MONODA: no, learn C | 17:34 |
| erUSUL | HalphaZ: maybe hal is daiying for some reason? check if it's running 'ps ax | grep hal' | 17:35 |
| JuJuBee | sipior : no answer | 17:35 |
| Dev_noob | ikonia: I am not sure how to add it in such a way as to have the ubuntu icon | 17:35 |
| ikonia | K4k-laptop: it is possible, sudo just needs to authenticate the first time | 17:35 |
| erUSUL | MONODA: C is the only one | 17:35 |
| mathen | Ok, it's just that I don't remember having to write in my password before.. when I used ubuntu | 17:35 |
| thor | mathen: you can put the NOPASSWORD option in the sudo users file | 17:35 |
| sipior | MONODA: have a look for "Linux Device Drivers, 3rd edition" from O'Reilly. And yes, learn C first :-) | 17:35 |
| ikonia | K4k-laptop: but he's been messing around with "sudo su - " etc etc | 17:35 |
| K4k-laptop | ikonia: ah, didn't know that, thank you | 17:35 |
| ikonia | K4k-laptop: hence why I have given up | 17:35 |
| mathen | ikonia, could you please help me. So it doesn't ask for gksudo then? | 17:35 |
| K4k-laptop | mathen: why were you messing with sudo su -? | 17:36 |

| Dev_noob | reya276: I am, but my lappy only has 256MB DDR2 | 17:36 |
| ikonia | reya276: the most common issue is network cards waiting on dhcp | 17:36 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: looks like you need to debug the dns server config. | 17:36 |
| reya276 | for some strange reason the OS takes for ever to load | 17:36 |
| K4k-laptop | Dev_noob, they make DDR2 that small? | 17:36 |
| K4k-laptop | lol | 17:36 |
| mathen | I'm new, someone told me to use it. And I listen to them, just as I am listening to you right now K4k-laptop and ikonia | 17:36 |
| Dev_noob | K4k-laptop: Yep | 17:36 |

| HalphaZ | it's my ps ax | grep hal | 17:38 |
| neko_ | is there some ressource to proceed | 17:38 |
| neko_ | ? | 17:38 |
| ikonia | n2diy_: none | 17:38 |
| juaco | neko_ you may find gnome-color-chooser useful too | 17:38 |
| brandon | there is no way to recover files from a formated drive is there? | 17:38 |
| neko_ | i need to remove all the wasted space | 17:39 |

| neko_ | i just want to reset | 17:40 |
| K4k-laptop | mathen: no, we just have to talk here I guess | 17:40 |

This box is connected to the internet with a dial up modem, it is also connected to a router, the second box is also connected to the router. How can I get internet access to the second box? | 17:41 |
| erUSUL | HalphaZ: so it seems that hal is not the problem... | 17:41 |
| juaco | neko_, try gnome-color-chooser, it lets you finetune your gtk theme | 17:41 |
| ikonia | n2diy_ share using the router | 17:41 |
| neko_ | i have a look at it | 17:41 |
| brandon | does anyone know of any ubuntu software to recover data from a previous install | 17:41 |
| usser | ikonia: he cant can he, dial up. | 17:41 |
| ikonia | usser he said a modem and a router | 17:42 |
| JuJuBee | sipior : still no luck, what files should I pastebin? | 17:42 |
| sipior | n2diy_: have a look here, to get started: http://www.linuxexposed.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=107 | 17:42 |
| ikonia | brandon: no | 17:42 |
| usser | ikonia: yes but he has a dial up modem so | 17:42 |
| ikonia | usser: so don't use the modem, use the router | 17:42 |
| neko_ | juaco: where i can find this ? | 17:42 |
| HalphaZ | just no solution... bad bad os | 17:42 |
| n2diy_ | sipior: ok thanks. | 17:42 |
| === pamela is now known as gwossaphira | ||
| sipior | JuJuBee: named.conf, named.conf.options | 17:42 |
| usser | ikonia: what if he doesnt have a broadband just router that is used a a hub | 17:42 |
| ikonia | usser: then he should tell me that | 17:43 |
| gradin | n2diy_: why would you want to share a 56k connection? | 17:43 |
| soundray | brandon: you can engage a data rescue service for hundreds of euros with no guarantee of success. | 17:43 |
| panfist | hey i have very little experience with ubuntu on my desktop and i had a server question....how hard would it be for me to create a virtual machine running ubuntu to serve network installs for me? could i set this up on my desktop? is it possible to serve windows installs through ubuntu? | 17:43 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: also, try reaching port 53 via telnet, from the server: telnet localhost 53 | 17:43 |
| ikonia | panfist: thats quite tricky | 17:43 |
| n2diy_ | gradin: so I can use the second box as a backup to this one. | 17:43 |
| juaco | neko_ it is in the repositories, you can install it via package managers | 17:43 |
| usser | n2diy_: but yea seriously get a dsl or something :0 | 17:43 |
| brandon | soundray: i think ill pass on that | 17:43 |
| neko_ | i think i get it | 17:43 |
| neko_ | it is called gcolor2 | 17:43 |
| gradin | n2diy_: your probably better of installing another phone line and modem on the other computer... | 17:43 |
| neko_ | ah nope | 17:44 |
| neko_ | it permit just to set colors | 17:44 |
| magic_ninja | is there a channel i get get help with for mozilla-gecko | 17:44 |
| juaco | the package is called "gnome-color-chooser" and lets you change color and icon sizes too | 17:44 |
| soundray | brandon: if you have masses of ascii text, it may be worth to examine the disk with lde, the Linux Disk Editor | 17:45 |
| juaco | almost everything is tunable | 17:45 |
| JuJuBee | sipior : I can telnet - get message telling me escapte char is '^]' , I am pasting the named.conf.local file since I did not change named.conf as well as the named.conf.options section I added. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46353/ | 17:45 |
| panfist | ikonia which part is quite tricky? the reason i would like to set this up is I had my windows server machine set up to serve network installs at one point but i didnt want to leave it that way for fear of opening a security hole. i guess i could try setting up a windows server virtual machine, but that would slow down my slow migration to ubuntu | 17:45 |
| neko_ | ??? | 17:45 |
| ikonia | panfist: setting up installs to netbook, then use a local apt archive, keeping the mirror in sync etc. | 17:46 |
| neko_ | i don't have any gnome-color-chooser in the repository | 17:46 |
| bad_influence | !seen cheebuu | 17:46 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about seen cheebuu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:46 |
| panfist | ikonia i dont think i would need to keep a local mirror i just need the server to initiate the install | 17:46 |
| panfist | just netboot the clients | 17:46 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: looks okay...what sort of errors do you get? does it silently fail? is anything dumped in the logs when you try to query it? | 17:46 |
| ikonia | panfist: sort of defeats the object of having a boot server to have to go and download 700 meg for each install | 17:47 |
| juaco | neko_ ups forgot to mention you have to add a new repo | 17:47 |
| neko_ | ah okey | 17:47 |
| neko_ | i will check | 17:47 |
| panfist | ikonia well the purpose is to install on a couple machines i have with no optical drives. i would be installing on them very infrequently so i can just grab the updated isos as i need them | 17:47 |
| JuJuBee | sipior : i get the same output as I get when diging google, except there is no ANSWER SECTION | 17:48 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: but there's no servfail? | 17:48 |
| bazhang | brandon: you might try gddrescue | 17:48 |
| JuJuBee | I do not think so | 17:48 |
| HalphaZ | Hi. I've a problem with usb devices (usb memorie, usb HD, usb bluetooth): when I insert a usb device with gutsy started, the devices doesn'ty work. If I restart the system, they works. But if I unplug and after I plug again the devices, they doesn't works... help!!! sorry for my poor english | 17:48 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: pastebin the dig response as well, if you could | 17:48 |
| panfist | ikonia unless there is an easier way to install an OS on a computer with no optical drive. is booting from USB possible/appropriate? | 17:48 |
| ikonia | panfist: totally possible, perhaps less effort to make a one off boot usb | 17:48 |
| ikonia | panfist: or buy a usb cdrom ? | 17:49 |
| JuJuBee | sipior : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46354/ | 17:49 |
| panfist | ikonia usb CD-rom drives are exorbitantly expensive. especially considering i can netboot for free. if i can pick up a 1gig flash drive for $5-$10 and put an ISO on it that is a different story altogether | 17:49 |
| JuJuBee | this dig from workstation | 17:49 |
| ikonia | panfist: your call | 17:50 |
| toresn | how do i make the gnome-terminal brighter when transparent? | 17:50 |
| panfist | ikonia how hard is it to install ubuntu from USB i've never done that | 17:50 |
| brandon | it is hard | 17:50 |
| brandon | lol | 17:50 |
| bazhang | panfist: you might check out pendrivelinux dot com | 17:50 |
| ikonia | panfist bit tricky, straight forward if your ok with linux | 17:50 |
| brandon | its a pain | 17:50 |
| panfist | ikonia and brandon, im not OK with linux but my roommate is. im learning | 17:50 |
| ikonia | panfist: your confident netbooting ? | 17:50 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: yeah, status:SERVFAIL :) hmm...this is good news in a way. you know that the server is there and responding | 17:50 |
| panfist | from windows yes | 17:50 |
| bazhang | not so bad if you follow the walkthrough on that site though | 17:51 |
| ikonia | panfist: ahh | 17:51 |
| brandon | panfist: you dont have cdrom drive? | 17:51 |
| JuJuBee | sipior : sorry, I missed that in the output before... | 17:51 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: just need to double-check your local zone file | 17:51 |
| toresn | how do i make the gnome-terminal brighter when transparent? the only option i can find is to shaden the terminal | 17:51 |
| panfist | i do have one i just dont feel like moving it, i could also whip up a windows VM to serve installs in about 1 hour but I'd rather do it in ubuntu if possible | 17:51 |
| whabo | help.... how do you defrag your harddrive??? and clean it up thx..... anyone can help? | 17:52 |
| Dr_willis | whabo, you dont need to defrag ext2/3 filesystems | 17:52 |
| erUSUL | whabo: no defrag in linux | 17:52 |
| JuJuBee | sipior : what is it called? is it /etc/bind/zones/q3ait.org.db ? | 17:52 |

| whabo | oww thx | 17:52 |

| juaco | yup | 17:53 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: that should be the compiled database. but it should be formed from a q3ait.org file that you reference in the configs. | 17:53 |
| KinkyBlackGoat | whabo: well, you do if you're using some other filesystem in addition to ext that windows is getting it's hands all over | 17:53 |
| neko_ | is it the trevino repository ? | 17:53 |
| panfist | brandon i have 147 days uptime on the only machine with an optical drive that i can go into...i'd really rather not move it | 17:53 |
| juaco | lemme check | 17:53 |
| whabo | kinkyBlackGoat: nope been windows free for 2 months now. | 17:53 |
| sipior | JuJuBee: unfortunately, i have to be on my way. best of luck getting it sorted, i think you're pretty close. just doublecheck yuor configs against any examples you can find | 17:53 |
| brandon | panfist ok... hold on.. ill get you the instructions for a usb install | 17:54 |

| Goong | thanx weis | 18:12 |
| bazhang | carnelain: why would you want to do that? | 18:13 |
| BrowneR | Cherubael: right now lets open grubs config file so we can add the lines we need. | 18:13 |

| FallenHi1okiri | eFfeM: metacity | 18:18 |
| BrowneR | Cherubael: change the line "root (hd0,0)" so it is "root (hd0,X)" where X is your ntfs partition number | 18:18 |
| selene | hi..noob here, i wanted to change my username, it was mentioned on the forums to use "sudo usermod -l login-name old-name" and also to move /home/oldname to /home/newname .. well err.. now X wont start up and i m stuck with command line :S | 18:18 |

| Whitor | Anyone have hdaps working on their thinkpad ? | 18:20 |
| allquixotic | Whitor: what exactly do you expect it to do? | 18:20 |
| selene | hi..noob here, i wanted to change my username, it was mentioned on the forums to use "sudo usermod -l login-name old-name" and also to move /home/oldname to /home/newname .. well err.. now X wont start up and i m stuck with command line :S | 18:20 |
| neko_ | iit give some reaaly fresh air | 18:20 |
| BrowneR | Cherubael: ok good that should be you. you may want to check just for consistency that the similar line for ubuntu reads root hd(0,... as well and not hd(1,... | 18:20 |
| Whitor | allquixotic: work :) | 18:20 |
| brandon | pici: is there a way to output cat to a file? | 18:20 |
| Cherubael | BrowneR: The partition is labelled /dev/hda5 Is that the number I need? Or do I just count in the diagram? | 18:20 |
| juac1 | neko_ i installed the new version too | 18:20 |
| === Petrov_ is now known as Petrov | ||
| Whitor | allquixotic: its not loading ... doesn't see the device... I suspect the kernal doesn't know that my hdaps hardware exists | 18:20 |
| juac1 | worked for you? | 18:20 |
| allquixotic | Whitor: I was under the impression that hdaps just creates a readable device for sensor data from the thwack sensor or whatever that device is. it doesn't stop your disk | 18:21 |
| BrowneR | Cherubael: just count starting at ZERO! not the /dev/sda number | 18:21 |
| ere4si | selene; as a test type startx | 18:21 |
| x_or | Can anyone tell me if I can safely turn off acpid? I have a box that appears to "sleep" or "freeze" without warning and I want to stop that. Could that be acpid? | 18:21 |
| genii | selene: sudo chown newname -R /home/newname | 18:21 |
| allquixotic | Whitor: sudo modprobe hdaps ----> ? | 18:21 |

| Cherubael | BrowneR: Ok awesome that's done | 18:21 |
| brandon | Pici: ty :) | 18:21 |
| neko_ | some stuff look like a little broken | 18:21 |
| Whitor | allquixotic: correct, though the device file does not exist ... I'll get you that output, hold on | 18:21 |
| BrowneR | Cherubael: save that an your away :p | 18:21 |
| neko_ | but it keep better than no place | 18:21 |
| Pici | brandon: output redirection is one of the main features of bash, > will output any command to a file (if it goes to standard out) | 18:22 |
| Whitor | allquixotic: sudo modprobe hdaps -> FATAL: Error inserting hdaps (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-rt/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hdaps.ko): No such device | 18:22 |
| selene | k genii..just a sec.. | 18:22 |
| juac1 | neko_ the app looks very cool to me, only thing thats cracks me up is why in heaven in doesn't let you save the settings as gtkrc files | 18:22 |
| Whitor | Yep, I'm using the rt kernal... is that the issue ? | 18:22 |
| genii | selene: after that one, sudo usermod -d /home/newname newname | 18:22 |
| neko_ | ??? | 18:22 |
| neko_ | what ? | 18:22 |
| neko_ | oh no | 18:23 |
| allquixotic | Whitor: that doesn't sound right. you should be able to load the module whether you have the device or not | 18:23 |
| insllvn | ok best i can figure this HDD is not formated, or is formated to some obscure BS proprietary format so is there a way to format an unlabeled disk? | 18:23 |

| neko_ | please tell me it's not true | 18:23 |
| insllvn | possibly a command line option? | 18:23 |
| allquixotic | Whitor: try rebuilding the module from source, make sure you have the source tree set up | 18:23 |
| juac1 | try if you can i'll be glad to hear it can do that | 18:23 |
| Whitor | allquixotic: so, what do I do ? | 18:23 |
| Whitor | allquixotic: ok, thanks.... it wsa origanlally installed via synaptic | 18:23 |
| neko_ | well | 18:24 |
| neko_ | i have deconnect | 18:24 |
| neko_ | and reconnect | 18:24 |
| genii | selene: After that second command, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 18:24 |

| AnAnt | Hello, I got a problem with Gutsy, a lot of times after I power up the laptop, I find the clock lagging by several hours, can anyone help me with this ? | 18:25 |
| insllvn | i can't find any info on the format command, does anyone know the syntax, and if/how i can point it at a specific directory/disk? | 18:25 |

| rothchild | hi, is it possible to get nautilus to show previews of picture files on a samba share? (I just get normal icons at the moment) | 18:25 |
| Whitor | allquixotic: should I uninstall the synapic installed version first? | 18:25 |
| filloy | please help me, ive just deleted a folder with all my databases!! is there anything i can do? | 18:25 |
| Pici | insllvn: the command is mkfs, read the manpage. Or use gparted/parted if you need more guidance | 18:25 |
| insllvn | Pici thank you | 18:26 |
| === poogle_ is now known as poogle | ||
| genii | selene: next time use usermod thusly: sudo usermod -l newname -m -d /new/homedir oldname | 18:26 |
| allquixotic | Whitor: you'll need the official Ubuntu source tree, which is in synaptic or generally apt, yes. after that, I would recommend you try building hdaps from the official site distributing it. although -- if you build hdaps from the Ubuntu sources, it might work too... of course, the problem could be _in_ the Ubuntu sources | 18:26 |
| allquixotic | Whitor: it's equally likely that you are trying to load a module not built for the current version of the kernel you're running; if that is the case, a simple rebuild from Ubuntu sources should do the trick | 18:27 |
| stuart | hi guys, how'd i know if i have 3d acceleration enabled? | 18:27 |

| Marcusklaas | arnout_: okay, here's what you do: IN TOP LEFT corner of your screen click applications (the drop down menu) then pick add/remove .. then when the window opens go to the top right corner of that window and pick "ALL AVAILABLE" from the drop down menu .. then search for codec... sort to popularity and pick the codex package | 18:38 |

| Shadow147 | now I have to start from scratch | 18:43 |
| insllvn | Pici, i only have the option to set the label, it grays out practically everything else | 18:44 |
| godzirra | Can anyone please help me? I've got gutsy and a snd_hda_intel card. I followed method E at this url: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller ...

| chester_martins_ | anyone knows an howto about create a own gtk theme?? I REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE | 18:46 |
| Dr_willis | Marcusklaas, the main issue i can think of some times is not all the apps use the 'system tray for the icons' correctly. and thats normaly only an issue with non-gnome-or-kde window managers. | 18:46 |
| marcus_ | hello i am trying to resize my desktop to 1440x900 with nvidia 7300 card. how would i do this? | 18:46 |
| rattts | im having a problem with my router or modem....the dsl dies like after one day and then the internet stops working....disconnecting the router and plugging the comp into the modem doesnt seem to help. can someone help me figure out the problem please | 18:46 |
| Pici | !caps | chester_martins_ | 18:46 |
| ubotu | chester_martins_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 18:46 |
| czorny | w8 i think :P:D | 18:46 |
| warriorforgod | r3r3: Well, if you told it to uninstall gnome you probably won't have a gui after reboot | 18:46 |
| Dr_willis | Yes.. creating a theme is soo critucal it needs to be yelled about. :) | 18:46 |
| usser | Marcusklaas: well i'd say gnome's GTK should be a standard but i'll get beat up right away | 18:46 |
| Pici | rattts: Thats not really an Ubuntu issue, you might try asking in #networking or #hardware | 18:46 |
| Marcusklaas | lol usser | 18:46 |
| Dr_willis | gnome-look.org dosent have any tutorials? | 18:46 |
| rattts | ok] | 18:46 |
| chester_martins_ | i will see dr. willis | 18:47 |
| r3r3 | well that s what i thought | 18:47 |
| r3r3 | but it was just gnome-desktop | 18:47 |
| Dr_willis | http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes | 18:47 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: Hello, I got a problem with Gutsy, a lot of times after I power up the laptop, I find the clock lagging by several hours, you got any idea what the problem can be ? | 18:47 |
| r3r3 | and i can t find it in the synaptic | 18:47 |
| Pici | insllvn: Have you created a parition yeT? | 18:47 |
| Dr_willis | comes up as a decent google hit on gtk themeing. | 18:47 |
| Lifeisfunny | what's the open chat channel for ubuntu? | 18:47 |
| Sean| | your mom is a google | 18:48 |
| warriorforgod | !gnome-desktop | r3r3 | 18:48 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-desktop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:48 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, if its the exact same amount of time each time. It may be the Timezone is wrong. | 18:48 |
| Pici | Lifeisfunny: #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:48 |
| Marcusklaas | Hey question: if I was to download the xubuntu desktop .. can I get rid of it as a whole too? or do have to trace down every component itself and delete those? | 18:48 |
| scguy318 | Lifeisfunny: #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:48 |
| warriorforgod | !gnome | r3r3 | 18:48 |
| ubotu | r3r3: gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. | 18:48 |
| erUSUL | Marcusklaas: the later | 18:48 |
| Marcusklaas | DAMN | 18:48 |
| r3r3 | !gnome-desktop | 18:48 |
| usser | Marcusklaas: yep thats how it is | 18:48 |
| insllvn | Pici almost all my options are grayed out in gparted. there are currently no partitions, and no way i can see to make one | 18:48 |
| chester_martins_ | thanks Dr_willis | 18:48 |
| Pici | insllvn: How did you run gparted? | 18:48 |
| Dr_willis | Marcusklaas, but why bother.:) its not like its taking up a lot of space. | 18:48 |
| Pici | Sean|: Do you have anything constructive to say? | 18:48 |
| erUSUL | insllvn: you need to add a partition table to the disk first | 18:48 |
| Sean| | haha, not yet | 18:48 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: anything else ? | 18:49 |
| r3r3 | warriorforgod, i know what gnome is | 18:49 |
| Marcusklaas | dr_willis: no i know but i don't want all those programs eating away CPU n memory when there are gnome apps running doing the exact same thing | 18:49 |
| erUSUL | insllvn: in Tools menu (herramientas in my spanish version) | 18:49 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: zdump /etc/localtime gives the correct time zone | 18:49 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, ages ago my laptop had a bios bug that made its clock run at 20 times normal speed.. i could litteraly watch the seconds fly past.. :) | 18:49 |
| Pici | erUSUL: I'm thinking that hes running it without sudo/gksudo | 18:49 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, but if your clock is only changing at boot up.. well thats odd. | 18:49 |
| Therion | Hello there | 18:49 |
| erUSUL | AnAnt: do you dual boot with windows? | 18:50 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: yeah, and doesn't always happen | 18:50 |
| r3r3 | warriorforgod is it safe to install gnome-desktop-environement from synaptic packet manager? | 18:50 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, its a decently new laptop? Check the bios time see what it says? it may some how be getting reset | 18:50 |
| AnAnt | erUSUL: nope ! | 18:50 |
| Marcusklaas | r3r3: yea lol | 18:50 |
| Sean| | any idea why my internal laptop speakers won't mute when i plug in headphones? | 18:50 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: yes, new laptop | 18:50 |
| r3r3 | :D | 18:50 |
| warriorforgod | r3r3: I don't see why not. | 18:50 |
| r3r3 | it is unthicked | 18:50 |
| Sean| | thats literally the *last* broken feature on my system with gutsy | 18:50 |
| Marcusklaas | r3r3: that just means you don't have it yet lol, it's safe alright | 18:50 |
| r3r3 | haha | 18:51 |
| Sean| | i got my internal webcam to work - which was totally shocking | 18:51 |
| Therion | Someone can explain me (if possible) how to disable gl extensions in xorg? | 18:51 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: you mean I get into the bios before booting linux ? | 18:51 |
| Marcusklaas | no rly | 18:51 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, yea. check the clock in there. | 18:51 |
| scguy318 | AnAnt: its the first thing that loads when you press the power button on the computer, so yes | 18:51 |
| erUSUL | Therion: comment out the glx module in Modules section ?? | 18:51 |
| insllvn | Pici, I don't see a tools menu... I have GParted, Edit, View, Device, Partition, Help | 18:52 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, ive had pc's with a dead cmos battery (like a little watch battery) their clocks always got reset. | 18:52 |
| Pici | insllvn: How did you start gparted? | 18:52 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: well, if I find it lagging (not reset), what should I do ? | 18:52 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, if you are always networked you could enable that ntp server/client to sync the time with the internet. | 18:52 |
| Therion | erUSUL: i try, thanks | 18:52 |
| godzirra | Can anyone please help me? I've got gutsy and a snd_hda_intel card. I followed method E at this url: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller ... My card shows up if I cat /proc/asound/cards, and dmesg shows no errors. Alsamixer shows the device as turned up all the way, but I get no sound. | 18:52 |
| usser | Therion: in xorg.conf find section "Extensions" and add Option composite "disable" | 18:52 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: I mean, I find the clock lagging by few hours, not days & months ! | 18:52 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: so I don't think that the clock is reset | 18:53 |
| Shadow147 | I am getting all of my development packages and other things so I can compile and other thins | 18:53 |
| Therion | usser: ok :) | 18:53 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: I am using ntp indeed | 18:53 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, i would be taking carefull notes on when/where this happens and see if its repeatable I guess. it ONLY changes while you are powered down/and reboot? | 18:53 |
| r3r3 | i have the feeling i won t have a gui after rebooting | 18:53 |
| Marcusklaas | LOL r3r3 | 18:53 |
| Marcusklaas | What is it with you? | 18:53 |
| r3r3 | :/ | 18:53 |
| Marcusklaas | There's nothing to dechill | 18:54 |
| insllvn | Pici, I started it from System>Administration i thought you meant a tools menu in GParted | 18:54 |
| usser | Therion: here take a look at how its supposed to look http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-August/002123.html | 18:54 |
| Marcusklaas | It'll work alright | 18:54 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, if its losing time while running.. would lead us to look at the software thats running or the bios clock/settings. | 18:54 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: yes, when powered down, then reboot | 18:54 |
| Pici | insllvn: Nope, Did it prompt you for the root password when you started it? | 18:54 |
| Therion | usser: perfect, it works also for xorg 7.0.2? | 18:54 |
| usser | Therion: yes | 18:55 |
| insllvn | yes | 18:55 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: also when I find it lagging, I do /etc/init.d/ntp restart | 18:55 |
| Therion | usser: thanks again, you save my life :D | 18:55 |
| roadkill | can someone help me setup an annonomys proxy? | 18:55 |
| usser | Therion: np | 18:55 |
| Pici | insllvn: You could try doing it from the LiveCD or from a Gparted LiveCD, I've never had issues with either of those. | 18:55 |
| Lifeisfunny | roadkill, there's a how to on the Tor website | 18:55 |
| roadkill | tor.com ? | 18:56 |
| scguy318 | roadkill: tor.eff.org | 18:56 |
| Lifeisfunny | hey, something like that | 18:56 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: and after it corrects the clocks (takes several minutes to do so), I run /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh, if I don't do this, I would find the clock lagging again after gutsy crashes (crashing is another story, anyways, if I don't do this hwclock.sh reload, I find the time lagging by the same amount of hours when I booted up the first time) | 18:56 |
| adelie | I appear to be missing man pages for some commands, such as 'read', though there are man pages listed online. How do I install such missing man pages. (apt-get install bash-doc installed something, but not the 'read' man page) | 18:57 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, you are actually powering down? not doing a suspend or hibernate? | 18:57 |
| erUSUL | AnAnt: what timezone do you use? | 18:57 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: yes , powering down | 18:57 |
| AnAnt | erUSUL: EET | 18:57 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, well i am out of ideas. :() | 18:58 |
| erUSUL | AnAnt: and what is the error in hours you get? is it allways the same? | 18:58 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, i wonder.. leave it off for like exactly 1 hr. and see how much time it loses.. :) | 18:58 |
| AnAnt | erUSUL: once it was 10 hours | 18:58 |
| CarlFK | how do I tell vncviewer what port to connect to if the server is not listening on the default 5900? | 18:59 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, the time lost is like random? | 18:59 |
| === recon0 is now known as recon | ||
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: not sure about that, but it is not the amount of hours that it was left shut | 18:59 |
| Dr_willis | CarlFK, vncviewer --help --> vncviewer [parameters] -listen [port] [parameters] | 18:59 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: for example today i shut it at about 11:30 AM | 18:59 |
| CarlFK | Dr_willis: no help. connect <> listen | 19:00 |
| Dr_willis | AnAnt, just never shut it off.. :) | 19:00 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: when I rebooted it after about 7 hours, it was 12:30 AM | 19:00 |
| AnAnt | Dr_willis: rebooted = power it on | 19:00 |
| insllvn | Pici thanks for the help I will try from the live CD | 19:00 |
| Pici | insllvn: good luck | 19:01 |
| Dr_willis | CarlFK, huh? the vncvlient connects to the port the server is listening to... unless someone is confusing terms on me again. :) | 19:01 |
| CarlFK | Dr_willis: how will it know which port the server is listening on? | 19:01 |
| netrat | 5900 is the default port for VNC | 19:02 |
| Pici | CarlFK: use `vncveiwer host:screennum` or `vncviewer host portnum` | 19:02 |
| Dr_willis | CarlFK, you tell the client what port the server is using. , of course it starts at 5900 and goes up by one for each instance/desktop normally. | 19:02 |
| Pici | clarezoe: check the vncviwer manpage | 19:02 |

| soundray | adelie: the best documentation is in the bash-doc package. Install it and read 'info bash' | 19:15 |

| mjbrooks | HashBox, I don't believe it is | 19:41 |
| VSpike | soundray: yeah lsusb does the job, I agree | 19:41 |

| adelie | thanks | 19:53 |
| Azrael24 | hi guys...quick question, what version of LInux does 7.10/GG run off? | 19:53 |
| jac0b-work | can anyone recommend a linux compatible print server | 19:53 |

| zippytech | what does the UUID=XXXXXXX.... mean in the fstab | 19:54 |
| Pici | !uuid | zippytech | 19:54 |
| ubotu | zippytech: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 19:54 |

| soundray | h1st0_: oh, since when is sis=s3? | 19:55 |
| LiMaO | Azrael24: virutal? don't you mean virtual?? | 19:55 |
| soundray | h1st0_: does it happen when you use the vesa driver? | 19:55 |
| h1st0_ | soundray: my bad I thought they were the same. | 19:55 |
| kn4rF | does anyone know how to modify gconf-editor parameters directly from terminal? | 19:55 |

| dinop007 | hi all... how do i add smile to pidgin? | 19:55 |
| h1st0_ | soundray: I haven't tried that. Let me check the xorg.conf and see if that will work. | 19:55 |
| soundray | h1sto_: it's possible that they are, I might have missed the news. | 19:56 |
| h1st0_ | soundray: actually it is using the vesa driver now. | 19:56 |
| dinop007 | how do i add smile to pidgin | 19:56 |
| jodie | can somebody help me set up stunnel please? | 19:56 |

| soundray | h1st0_: sec | 19:56 |
| Azrael24 | virtualbox.org | 19:57 |
| Zaehlas | soundray, one last question, I think the upgrade may have completed, when I now run apt-get dist-upgrade it says no new releases. When I run the do-release-upgrade it says no new releases. And when I run apt-get update/upgrade it reads all the package lists properly, and says no new packages. Is there any way to have it reverify my existing packages, to check all of them for possible errors? | 19:57 |
| h1st0_ | soundray: I know i'm using the savagefb driver for tty but that doesn't make a difference if I turn it on or off. | 19:57 |
| Azrael24 | tried vmware, bleh | 19:57 |
| Azrael24 | wanted to run Ubuntu within XP, and run XP within Ubuntu (work and home) | 19:57 |

| Chuckles | is it hidden i dont see it :/ | 19:58 |
| dinop007 | how do i add smile to pidgin | 19:58 |
| Azrael24 | I typed that, h1st0...I suggested it ;] | 19:58 |
| Azrael24 | oh I see..it's your response to wmware | 19:58 |
| Azrael24 | vmware...totally agree, virtualbox is the way to go | 19:58 |

| zippytech | any ideas | 19:59 |

| soundray | h1st0_: man savage may help (from the package xserver-xorg-video-savage) | 19:59 |
| h1st0_ | /etc/init.d | 19:59 |
| Shadow147 | it would help if I pointed the vars file to the right perl location | 19:59 |
| Zaehlas | Chuckles, if you're using the graphical file browser, start from "File System" on the left, etc should be there, shouldn't be hidden. | 19:59 |
| boris_ | how do i blacklist modules ? | 19:59 |
| h1st0_ | soundray: I'll give it a try and see don't have much to lose at this point. | 19:59 |

| h1st0_ | boris_: add them to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 19:59 |
| dinop007 | how do i add smile to pidgin | 19:59 |

| Chuckles | ty! | 20:04 |
| Pici | wallsp: Its most likely the video card thats causing issues. | 20:04 |
| genii | Chuckles: You should be able to use either way, as you like. but on occasion the apt-get way does a better job | 20:04 |
| wallsp | sigh this sucks | 20:04 |
| Pici | wallsp: Do you know what model you have? | 20:04 |
| wallsp | well I will try | 20:04 |
| Chuckles | thanks. 1st thing i want on my new ubuntu install is to be able to ssh from work so i can practice in console :) | 20:05 |
| h1st0_ | soundray: That seemed to work now. Using the savage drive. I also noticed there is an option in there to usefbdev true in the video card section of the Xorg.conf | 20:05 |
| shbla99 | wallsp: try the text mode installer | 20:05 |

| Chuckles | but just "ssh ip" asks for root pw | 20:09 |
| Pici | RoyK: I dont know off the top of my head, the folks in #compiz-fusion should know. | 20:09 |
| h1st0_ | soundray: but it gets in to X faster with the fbdev gone | 20:09 |

| vile_maxim | the-killer: a wysiwyg editor? | 20:09 |
| Chuckles | can i disable root login? | 20:09 |
| genii | Chuckles: if right now it is asking you for root, that means the system you are sshing from is logged in as username root | 20:09 |
| Pici | Chuckles: it asks for the password for the username that you are currently using. | 20:09 |
| Chuckles | oh cuz i'm root in the console... i see | 20:09 |

| astevens | Kakama5: sad to see people like yourself thinking were here to help anyone anytime for the hell of it. the channel is #ubuntu at least try to keep it to linux. If you can afford a several hundred dollar Operating System, you can likely buy support | 20:20 |
| astevens | ahh dang i missed him, hehe | 20:20 |
| The_Machine | what's the point of facebook? | 20:20 |

| * daxroc moving back to gentoo :) | 20:20 | |
| semba | I've just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10, and my boot hangs with messages saying "hdb: lost interrupt". I've tried the assorted kernel parameters: noacpi/nolacpi/irqpoll, but none make any difference | 20:20 |
| daxroc | thanks for those who helped | 20:20 |
| Odd-rationale | !debian | bobo79 | 20:21 |
| ubotu | bobo79: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 20:21 |
| astevens | The_Machine: it was to make the guy who founded it feel cooler than the guy who founded myspace. | 20:21 |
| offipso | the_machine: facebook's usefulness is directly proportional to the number of friends you have | 20:21 |
| The_Machine | offipso, that makes sense | 20:21 |
| astevens | windows people need something to do since all their systems are good for is surfing the web ;) | 20:21 |
| semba | This seems like a repetition of Bug #78288, but the newer kernel versions suggested don't change anything. :-( | 20:21 |
| The_Machine | i just signed up on it because my cousin is on there | 20:21 |
| offipso | the_machine: aka it's not useful at all | 20:21 |
| The_Machine | and i thought he would update his life, etc. on some msg board | 20:21 |
| offipso | I have no friends. | 20:21 |
| The_Machine | aka myspace | 20:21 |
| The_Machine | and i'm like.. WTF is the purpose of this? | 20:22 |
| The_Machine | sure, "social networking" | 20:22 |
| astevens | linkedin.com is simular and i think is more useful for business | 20:22 |
| offipso | well, that would be a good reason to ask | 20:22 |
| The_Machine | but it feels retarded. | 20:22 |
| R3B3LX | newb question for u guys... i think... ummm my printer is not working.. i try to print something but after like 5minutes it says stopped | 20:22 |
| Pici | !offtopic | The_Machine | 20:22 |
| ubotu | The_Machine: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 20:22 |
| The_Machine | oh, sorry | 20:22 |
| The_Machine | heh | 20:22 |
| daxroc | what has myspace got to do with ubuntu | 20:22 |
| mandani | kane77, is there a way to add or restart the windows manager | 20:22 |
| kane77 | that's OT for at least two screens :/ | 20:22 |
| piko | yayayaya | 20:22 |
| astevens | thanks for the reminder Pici ;) | 20:22 |
| Pici | :) | 20:22 |
| daxroc | IMHO ubuntu is a bad introduction to linux | 20:23 |
| krammer | why do u say that | 20:23 |
| jac0b-work | daxroc: why do you think that | 20:23 |
| R3B3LX | any ideas? i mean its all plugged it but it just doesnt print.. ive installed it | 20:23 |
| Odd-rationale | daxroc: What would you reccomend? | 20:23 |
| daxroc | well its has its good points but its very lazy way to introduce people to linux | 20:23 |
| Chuckles | why daxroc? | 20:24 |
| kane77 | astevens, I don't know if that was only trying to cause flame, but I'd have to disagree.. I'm ubuntu person, I love it, enjoy it, and use it as much as I can. however I'm not able to do video editing the way I can with Adobe Premiere/After Effects/Photoshop. | 20:24 |
| R3B3LX | 20:24 | |
| kazol | Is the default Ubuntu account administrator? (that has a lower level than root)? | 20:24 |
| ubotu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 20:24 |
| Chuckles | Ubuntu has the easy install ever... | 20:24 |
| astevens | daxroc: you could learn more from installing gentoo or something, thats true, but if you want linux that just works and has a lot going for it, I would say you would be hard pressed to beat ubuntu | 20:24 |
| Chuckles | *easiest | 20:24 |
| Pici | kazol: The default account has sudo access. | 20:24 |
| krammer | daxroc this may help there are 6 to 12 million users now using ubuntu | 20:24 |
| Pici | !sudo | kazol | 20:24 |
| ubotu | kazol: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 20:24 |
| kazol | Pici: I know that, but what's the default account type? administrator? | 20:24 |
| Goong | hello, does anyone know how to make ubuntu automatically switch to a dial up connection if your broadband internet connections fails? | 20:25 |
| daxroc | Its not easy to trac source its alot more comlicated and the package naming scheme could follow the actual software name a little closer no ? | 20:25 |
| jac0b-work | I disagree I think ubuntu is a good intro to linux | 20:25 |
| offipso | kazol: There's no 'administrator' user, but there is a superuser called root | 20:25 |
| Pici | kazol: It has no more user rights without using sudo than any other account does. | 20:25 |
| Chuckles | i'm using someone's nick :o | 20:25 |
| astevens | ubuntu will give any commerical GUI OS a run for the money. Im adeveloper at www.caoslinux.com and while we have a lightweight hpc (no gui) distro, for a gui, ubuntu is top choice. | 20:25 |
| kane77 | kazol, it is user account with sudo permissions... | 20:25 |
| Odd-rationale | daxroc: What do you reccommend? Just curious... | 20:25 |
| krammer | Goong u have to manual configur | 20:25 |
| kazol | kane77: Is there a specific name for that? | 20:25 |
| Goong | Krammer do you think a script could do it? | 20:26 |
| daxroc | Odd-rationale: in what regard ? | 20:26 |
| Odd-rationale | daxroc: A good introduction to linux? | 20:26 |
| krammer | yes | 20:26 |
| kazol | Pici, offipso: Why is it necessary to switch to superuser each time? Is it 1. to prevent accidental sys file deletion and 2. prevent malware? | 20:27 |
| astevens | daxroc: does the aids quilt style of patching a kernel red had does better? or does suse and their yeasty yast make sense to you? remember apples and oranges. | 20:27 |
| jac0b-work | kazol: 1 | 20:27 |
| kane77 | kazol, don't know.. what about "sudoer" ? | 20:27 |
| Marcusklaas | su = r00t | 20:27 |
| Pici | kazol: read this link it makes a good argument: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:27 |
| kazol | jac0b-work: Just because of that?? | 20:27 |
| jac0b-work | kazol: yeah basiclly | 20:27 |
| eclipse__ | is there anything out there like fs-driver for vista? | 20:27 |
| kazol | That's kind of pointless. | 20:28 |
| kazol | I'd rather have it on permanently. | 20:28 |
| Pici | kazol: Did you read that link? Its not only for accidental usage, its for security. | 20:28 |
| jac0b-work | kazol: that is frowned upon | 20:28 |
| offipso | kazol: perhaps sudo -s will help. It puts you in a root shell | 20:28 |
| kazol | Pici: Oh, ok. | 20:28 |
| === Chuckles is now known as woog | ||

| jimcooncat | I'm so used to sudo it just rolls off the fingers | 20:28 |
| dd | every nick is owned by someone else :( | 20:28 |
| daxroc | Odd-rationale: Scratch that , It is a great introduction, but would be nice once things are setup to use a source repo or something ? | 20:29 |
| kane77 | jimcooncat, true :) although I'm using sudo -s more often now... | 20:29 |
| J_P | hi all | 20:29 |
| Wifi-Phreak | Can anyone tell me of a good program I could install to make my audio LOUDER | 20:29 |
| J_P | people, I did run "apt-get -f install" and show this : libxdmcp6: Depends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0) but 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 is installed | 20:30 |
| J_P | xserver-xorg-core: Depends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0) but 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 is installed | 20:30 |
| jimcooncat | It won't help me from the old rm -rf /; I'd type the sudo automatically | 20:30 |
| J_P | How I solve that ? | 20:30 |
| Pici | daxroc: Not everyone wants to compile things just to get them to work. and the source is available | 20:30 |
| jac0b-work | my first intro to linus was mandrake | 20:30 |
| jac0b-work | linux* | 20:30 |
| offipso | kazol: Did you see that? If you need to execute a ton of commands as root, just use sudo -s so you don't have to prepend 'sudo' every time you type a command | 20:30 |
| dd | did u turn up the sound in alsamixer? | 20:30 |
| Odd-rationale | daxroc: Perhaps for some. I like the ease of installing software though. | 20:30 |
| Wifi-Phreak | Yes I did and its still not loud enough dd | 20:30 |
| owain | what do you think about sudo su? | 20:31 |
| kazol | offipso: Ok, thanks, I was looking for the equivelent of "su" before. | 20:31 |
| owain | to open a root shell | 20:31 |
| daxroc | Pici: "Option" & there are minor speed enhancements not worth ranting about | 20:31 |
| eclipse__ | is there anything out there like fs-driver for vista? | 20:31 |
| owain | is that bad practise? | 20:31 |
| jimcooncat | daxroc: that's why I switched from gentoo, just for the install speed of binaries | 20:31 |
| eth01 | practice * | 20:31 |
| owain | thanks eth :P | 20:31 |
| Powaqqatsi | Does anyone know what directory FLTK gets installed in on ubuntu? can't seem to find it via search | 20:31 |

| attickid | anyone has ever installed a Tablet on ubuntu? .. | 20:31 |
| owain | not really an answer though... | 20:31 |
| eth01 | owain: should be su - ? | 20:32 |
| owain | yeah | 20:32 |
| owain | sorry | 20:32 |
| owain | but sudo su - | 20:32 |

| kelsin | mathen: looks like you can download it on the oracle website, just needs a java jdk, so "sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk" then download and follow their instructions | 20:47 |
| ianm_ | dmckee: ctrl-alt-left/right don't work? you can set it in key binding preferences | 20:48 |

| offipso | dmckee: No problem | 20:48 |
| mathen | Thanks kelsin, I'll give it a try | 20:48 |
| offipso | dd: it'd take longer than a day to get someone in the IRC forum to help you install a GUI... They just sit around, mostly silent, and insult you when they muster the energy | 20:48 |
| dd | lol yup | 20:49 |
| Marcusklaas | what shell command lets me see my in-network Ip adress? | 20:50 |
| offipso | dmckee: If you're really enterprising, you can use gconf-editor to bind custom commands to custom keypresses.. e.g., I have ctrl ~ open up a console, and ctrl 1 open up an editor on a sort of scratchpad file for taking notes | 20:50 |
| Anubis | buffer i/o err on device fdo, logical block 0, i have no floppy driver how can i bypass this | 20:50 |

| xilvr | yeah | 20:53 |
| offipso | reportingsjr: I had the same problem when I first installed ubuntu; it wasn't giving me anything higher than 1024x768. I had to edit the /etc/xorg/xorg.conf file and list some extra modes in my monitor and graphic device sections.. You'll probably want info open in a window or saved to a file if you try that route | 20:53 |
| stefg | xilvr: sudo apt-get install language-support-de | 20:53 |
| offipso | bah | 20:53 |
| xilvr | is that for open office, stefg? | 20:53 |

| stefg | xilvr: that's a meta-package that will install language support for all default apps | 20:54 |

| K_Dallas | Hi guys! What is the most efficient way of running Office2007 under Ubuntu 7.10? Thanks | 20:55 |
| xilvr | wtf it seems to work, stefg, love you ^^ | 20:55 |
| stefg | !uuid | dmckee | 20:55 |
| ubotu | dmckee: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 20:55 |
| pike_ | K_Dallas: crossover office which is pretty much wine | 20:56 |
| pike_ | or just wine | 20:56 |
| offipso | K_Dallas: Run vmware and have windows running at the same time, is my guess | 20:56 |
| offipso | does wine really run office 2007? | 20:56 |
| K_Dallas | pike_, does it run office2007 as well? | 20:56 |
| syngin001 | crossover is the way to go | 20:56 |
| xilvr | cause i just googled for language packs, but in the boards they posted there aren't languagepacks and "you've to install the local version completely new" | 20:56 |
| xilvr | anyway, thank you stefg | 20:57 |

| offipso | Office 2007 is pretty impressive...I haven't tried crossover, but if it's anything like openoffice, it can't stand up to it | 20:57 |
| darrend | anyone using intel X3100 graphics? There's a lot of stuff online about compiz not working properly with it, but some info seems contradictory | 20:57 |
| tdoggette | ubotu, thanks. | 20:57 |

| Brucevdk | I just bought a new hard disk for my laptop, it's a Seagate Momentus (ATA) and after a few hours of house it's already up to 160 load cycles. I can hear the hard disk make a grinding noise once every minute and this increases the load cycle count. My previous disk only seemed to increase load cycles when restarting (or similliar). What could be the problem? | 20:57 |
| EdwardXP | how do i find out how many mega bytes does my graphics card have? | 20:58 |
| kelsin | xilvr: looks like you need the "language-support-<country code>" package | 20:58 |
| xilvr | lol ubotu | 20:58 |
| pike_ | K_Dallas: maybe not i guess you might consider looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeamlessVirtualization for just one app vmware has some overhead | 20:58 |
| K_Dallas | pike_, appreciate it, i will look into it | 20:58 |

| SuperFart | what's tst | 20:58 |
| EdwardXP | darrend, how can i find out how much space i have | 20:59 |
| EdwardXP | in my graphics card | 20:59 |

| foldingstock | EdwardXP: do you mean, how much memory it has? | 21:00 |
| emosamurai | Hi. I found a .rvmb file. VLC and MPlayer can not open it. I looked on the wiki and downloaded the associated Dirac plugin, which is supposed to be a universal codec, but VLC and Mplayer will still not play my file. | 21:00 |
| EdwardXP | foldingstock, yah, and RAM memory | 21:00 |
| Hanyou_ | My problem is I have a super looong boot time due to it checking my windowz partion on the drive. Any help on turning this off? | 21:00 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: is english your first language? | 21:00 |
| deal_ | Is FTP open in local network by standard in linux ? or is that a function I have to enable ? | 21:00 |
| EdwardXP | no | 21:00 |
| Brucevdk | stefg: yup that's the new report, the previous one (as described) dismissed it as a LAPTOP_MODE problem. | 21:00 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: ok | 21:00 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: what kind of video card is it? | 21:00 |
| narothepharoh | how to open a .daa file | 21:01 |
| EdwardXP | foldingstock, video card is a onboard video card>> its a laptop P m730 | 21:01 |
| pike_ | deal_: no server apps like vsftpd are installed in default desktop install you can install em though | 21:01 |
| zkjellberg | Does anyone know how to add mp3 support for Rhythmbox? | 21:01 |
| EdwardXP | foldingstock, its' intel | 21:01 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: then it has shared memory, which you configure in the bios | 21:01 |
| deal_ | pike_: thanks m8! I look in to vsftpd =) | 21:01 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: probably 16 or 32MB | 21:01 |
| EdwardXP | foldingstock, is there anyway i can find out how much is in use right now? | 21:01 |
| offipso | zkjellberg: There should be a good amount about getting mp3s to work that you can find on google. I can't tell you specifically, as I use xmms and vlc, but you shoudl only hvae to apt-get a few codecs | 21:02 |
| narothepharoh | how to open a .daa file? | 21:02 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: reboot the laptop, and go into the bios, you will find an option for "shared memory" (probably under an "advanced" menu) | 21:02 |
| stefg | Hanyou_: edit the <pass> parameter for that drive from 2 to 0 . see !fstab to get a complete expalanation | 21:02 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: that will tell you how much it uses | 21:02 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: another way would be to see how much memory you have on your system, and compare that with how much you actually have | 21:02 |
| zkjellberg | offipso: Thankyou, How is xmms? I'm just looking for a simple media player for ubuntu. | 21:02 |
| mneisen | Hi, when i want to transform a PS to PDF using ps2pdf, the resulting PDF has letter format instead of A4 format. Any hints?! Thanks in advance! | 21:02 |
| EdwardXP | :( i wanted to do everything remotely | 21:02 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: if you're using 32MB shared memory for your video card, and you have 512MB in your system, your system will only show 480MB | 21:03 |
| narothepharoh | how to open a .daa file? | 21:03 |
| offipso | zkjellberg: xmms is great, reminds me of winamp | 21:03 |
| void^ | narothepharoh: poweriso has a linux utility to convert their .daa to something useful | 21:03 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: so just check /proc/meminfo and see how much memory the system days it has | 21:03 |
| zkjellberg | offipso: No need to install audio codecs? | 21:03 |
| offipso | zkjellberg: It should be easy to get mp3s working it in, as well. try apt-get install xmms | 21:03 |
| Hanyou_ | stefg: This may sound like a stupid question, but where do I find !fstab? | 21:03 |
| zkjellberg | offipso: Thankyou. :) Going to check that out now. | 21:03 |
| Anubis | what would be the boot code to disable fdo detection | 21:03 |
| offipso | zkjellberg: You may very well have to.. Try xmms, if it won't play mp3s it will be fixable by installing another package, though I can't say I know which | 21:04 |
| stefg | !fstab | Hanyou_ | 21:04 |
| ubotu | Hanyou_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 21:04 |
| narothepharoh | void: how do i get power iso? | 21:04 |

| void^ | narothepharoh: "poweriso", a company. they have a website. | 21:04 |
| yaaar | i guess my larger question is whether there is some more capable/newer flash plugin she's supposed to be using | 21:04 |
| eth01 | why does the installation process take so long? :/ | 21:04 |
| narothepharoh | void is it free? | 21:05 |
| offipso | eth01 How long is it taking? | 21:05 |
| EdwardXP | foldingstock, /proc and vital system information i should remember so i can navigate my way around | 21:05 |
| eth01 | offipso: its on 15% for the past 10 or so minutes. | 21:05 |
| EdwardXP | just learning | 21:05 |
| void^ | narothepharoh: only as in free beer | 21:05 |
| pike_ | yaaar: you can grab the plugin from adobe | 21:05 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: yes | 21:05 |
| stefg | eth01: because you only have 256 MB of RAM | 21:05 |
| offipso | eth01: Could be worse | 21:05 |
| deal_ | How do I configure users with vsftpd ? | 21:05 |
| foldingstock | EdwardXP: also, "dmesg" is a good command to use when troubleshooting | 21:05 |
| offipso | eth01: Plus, you can use the system as it installs, though if you have low RAM as stefg suggests, that will slow it down too | 21:05 |
| CoasterMaster | Is there a website that says what all the Unix directories in / are (i.e. what is in /etc, /bin, /var, etc) | 21:05 |

| ubotu | An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 21:06 |

| SuperFart | how do I make netstat only show internet connections | 21:06 |
| eth01 | offipso: it will always be slow, no matter what. | 21:06 |
| MinusSeven | Is there a way to change the date format in the taskbar without changing the language settings? | 21:06 |
| void^ | narothepharoh: it's a proprietary file format, so probably not. | 21:06 |
| eth01 | i installed ubuntu onto a server with 16gb ram, and it was still sluggish. | 21:07 |
| offipso | zkjellberg: Woot. If you want a similarly pleasant experience for videos, try vlc. Enabling extra repositories in the synaptic package manager mmight helpy ou find fun thigns too (like libdvdread) | 21:07 |
| offipso | eth01: That's not my experience. I can't say what caused it to be slow on a system like that | 21:07 |
| core64 | eth01: ubuntu install takes 25 mins on this computer | 21:07 |
| m11 | eth01 , dont set network at install process, configure it l8r | 21:07 |
| zkjellberg | offipso: I am currently using mplayer which is treating me well. Installs codecs and such manually, but may install VLC because it seems to be able to play everything if my primary video player is uncapable of doing it. | 21:08 |
| eth01 | m11, you haven't installed from the latest ubuntu then have you? ;) | 21:08 |
| offipso | zkjellberg: Ah, mplayer is pretty good too. Experiment, I'd say, as it sounds like you're doing | 21:08 |
| eth01 | m11, it doesn't ask for network config in the installation process *yet* .. | 21:08 |
| peeps[work] | Does canonical actually make money? | 21:09 |
| offipso | eth01: what version are you installing? Are you using the live-cd? | 21:09 |

| Powaqqatsi | thanks, but the file is in my path and i tried sudo | 21:11 |
| Powaqqatsi | still doesnt run it | 21:11 |

| K_Dallas | also, I have just installed Ubuntu7.10 on my laptop and when I try to activate visual effects, it says it cannot. should i install any particular package for that? (the installation is the default) | 21:13 |
| offipso | powaqqatsi: no problem. ./ basically means run this program. You can type a program name withotu ./ if it's in your path, meaning in a system variable called $PATH or something similar | 21:13 |
| K_Dallas | offipso, i could always do it but | 21:14 |
| lex | yaaar: ok, just a suggestion since it sounded like they were trying to manually install adobe anyways | 21:14 |

| K_Dallas | ok | 21:14 |
| svschwartz | zstars: u see when I input "test1 test2 test3" it prints out just "test1" | 21:15 |
| offipso | alex__: The way to configure grub, as far as I know, is to check /boot/grub/menu.lst | 21:15 |
| lex | alex__: which did you install first, linus or vista? | 21:15 |
| alex__ | vista | 21:15 |

| stefg | K_Dallas: linux is case sensitive | 21:16 |
| mrball | quangle: I installed the Terminus font on a recommendation of a coworker. Works ok for Gnome apps. | 21:16 |
| K_Dallas | stefg, yes i had forgot ;) | 21:16 |
| yaaar | lex: well, yes. but only because apparently the libflashplugin-nonfree package is out of date and won't run this site she wants to use. | 21:16 |
| quangle | mrball, thanks. is there a good default font though? | 21:16 |
| offipso | loop`: Are you able to play other dvds? | 21:16 |

| offipso | jalvarado_: like any computer system, it can be difficult | 21:17 |
| offipso | dd: iptables is the linux software firewall, that can close ports and do other security things | 21:18 |
| slaytanic | dd: If they are unused... they're already closed. | 21:18 |
| mrball | Nuked: depends _where_ you have it installed and if the dynamic loader knows where to find it. | 21:18 |
| zstars | Does anyone know how to get apt-get to download from the net only, and not to use CDs? I've not been able to find how to on the link | 21:18 |

| zippytech | says is busy | 21:22 |
| zippytech | rebooted and everyting | 21:22 |
| jalvarado_ | offipso, I ask because I know some people that does not like as ubuntu has changed a lot of thing of the system | 21:22 |
| Luciel | thats the thing cant see the menu bar up top offipso : ( | 21:22 |

| t4m1n0 | :D | 21:23 |
| offipso | jalvarado_ I guess ubuntu's policy is to try and pick sane defaults for average or beginner linux users, so that could irritate some people who are used to other setups | 21:23 |

| t4m1n0 | one q | 21:23 |

| Odd-rationale | What hardware do you need to play games like SuperTux? I have an old laptop and it is painfully slow. Would more swap space help? | 21:40 |

| adaminla | Can I use wine to open an .exe file? | 21:40 |
| DM| | adaminla: yes | 21:40 |
| offipso | adaminla: in theory, yes | 21:40 |
| DM| | adaminla: will it work? questionable. | 21:40 |
| eth01 | depends, DM|. | 21:40 |
| offipso | odd-rationale: the only real requirement of a modern computer with supertux would be a decent video card, I'd imagine. more swap space is unlikley toh elp, as that game doesn't need a ton fo memory | 21:41 |

| meeper | ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 2048 -f /home/ocean/ <-- this produces 'DSA Keys must be 1024 bits' which I'm pretty sure is not true since the same command works on older ubuntu machines | 21:42 |

| googl1 | -help | 21:44 |
| offipso | odd-rationale: Ah, hmm.. It's possible you don't have propritary drivers installed. Y ou can check system/administration/restricted drivers manager. If there's a video driver in there you can enable, that will probably help, as it will be faster. I'd imagine any computer with a recent ATI or nVidia card should be able to play it fine | 21:45 |

| EdwardXP | :( fortune doesn't work | 21:45 |
| offipso | odd-rationale: also, check the command line switches for the program, you might be able to turn off some video options | 21:45 |
| googl1 | can sb tell me a coding cannel ? | 21:45 |
| googl1 | please | 21:45 |
| corruptionoflulz | randy: i don't think you can with xchat-gnome, atleast i haven't figured it out, i know you can with xchat though. | 21:45 |

| core64 | i can't tell | 21:45 |
| ebirtaid | asm | 21:45 |
| core64 | oh | 21:45 |
| corruptionoflulz | EdwardXP: fortune doesn't work?? | 21:45 |
| EdwardXP | i had to type in /usr/game/fortune Argghhh | 21:45 |
| stefg | googl1: see the freenode cahnnel listing, my guess would be #gcc | 21:45 |
| core64 | not familiar w/ it | 21:46 |

| corruptionoflulz | You have Egyptian flu: you're going to be a mummy. | 21:46 |
| Odd-rationale | offipso: OK The restricted manager tells me that I I don't need any restricted drivers. What's the terminal commands you're talking about? | 21:46 |

| Odd-rationale | offipso: Also is there a way to find out what type of video card am using. The System -> Administration -> System Monitor does not tell me. Maybe a command line? | 21:48 |
| ebirtaid | welp | 21:48 |
| zippytech | what and is kpartx the default in ubuntu | 21:48 |
| ebirtaid | xpert at fail | 21:48 |

| offipso | ah, or that | 21:48 |
| core64 | DM|: so whatever sudo command you run, you get that error? | 21:48 |
| core64 | thats odd | 21:48 |

| K_Dallas | Would this graphic card work with Ubuntu normal visual effect? intel mobile GM965 GL960 integrated graphic rev 8c (if not, i have to say that i am so disappointed) | 21:49 |
| core64 | K_Dallas: should work | 21:50 |
| EdwardXP | i reallly want to learn the bash commands, so i can talk even more geekie and take over yahoo one of these days | 21:50 |
| bastien | HI ! | 21:50 |
| core64 | DM|: im sorry, im not sure | 21:50 |
| ebirtaid | heh | 21:50 |
| K_Dallas | core64, that was my impression but why it says it cannot activate it | 21:50 |
| core64 | K_Dallas: are you running 64bit? | 21:50 |
| DM| | K_Dallas you can always try, but dont be disappointed at the software, be disappointed at intel's attempt to cheap you out of a 3d card | 21:50 |
| K_Dallas | nope 32 | 21:50 |
| keanu | question - i think i found my root password (i had it saved in an encrypted file with a few others) but on the RootSudo page, it says su is disabled by default - is there any way I can re-enable it without going into recovery mode? | 21:51 |
| stefg | K_Dallas: teh ubuntu-devs choose to disbale effects for that card, because you would loose the capability to watch video then. compiz is a new kind of software which has still some problems | 21:51 |
| Odd-rationale | offipso: Still there? | 21:51 |
| croddy | is there a way to override restricted-manager's erroneous judgement that i don't actually need fglrx? or perhaps a way to install fglrx that does an end-run around restricted-manager? | 21:51 |
| jrattner1 | Question: Some how my installation grew largely over night? Now my system is running terribly and says that diskspace is at 100%...so what do I do? | 21:51 |
| DM| | jrattner1 7.10? | 21:51 |
| jrattner1 | correct | 21:51 |
| K_Dallas | stefg, so can i downgrade from compiz to something more compatible? | 21:52 |
| corruptionoflulz | From what i understood, they really just included compiz for fun, they know it's not stable yet, and people really shouldn't expect so. | 21:52 |
| jrattner1 | DM|, correct | 21:52 |
| core64 | K_Dallas: yea, i just realize we have the same card | 21:52 |
| DM| | jrattner1: press ALT f2, and then type in "gksudo baobab" | 21:52 |
| K_Dallas | core64, :) so what do you do | 21:52 |
| core64 | K_Dallas: it doesn't work :) | 21:52 |
| core64 | lol | 21:52 |
| DM| | jrattner1 then... tell it to scan your filesystem, look at how big the files are | 21:52 |
| K_Dallas | oh lol | 21:52 |
| offipso | odd-rationale: whoops, yeah | 21:52 |
| stefg | K_Dallas: your only choice (although just theoretical) would be to change the video adapter. Your card isn't effects compatible, so forget about them | 21:53 |
| core64 | K_Dallas: and stefg just said why, which sucks, cuz it work for me on gutsy beta | 21:53 |
| Odd-rationale | offipso: Where would I find my video card in the device manager? | 21:53 |
| core64 | which would mean changing the motherboard | 21:53 |
| deal_ | I'm new to linux. And everything here is new. I recall only some from my Slackware 4.0 period (wich lasted a few months). But where would you guys start to get a good understanding of Linux Kernel and all that comes with, let us say ubuntu :-D | 21:53 |
| core64 | deal_: anything in particular you want to do? | 21:53 |
| iarwain1 | deal_: prolly find a newbie guide | 21:53 |
| K_Dallas | stefg core64 so does it mean if i wait 6 month, it might actually work and right now, except for the visual eye candy, what other important features am i missing? | 21:54 |
| joakim | common gays help me !!! how do you hell changle windows tema in compix i now how you change animation but not the windows .. | 21:54 |
| jrattner1 | DM|, alright and what should i be able to determine from this procedure | 21:54 |
| zippytech | does any one know if kpartx should be installed on a standard ubuntu install | 21:54 |
| offipso | odd-rationale, ah stefg had a better suggestions, which was "lspci | grep VGA" in hte terminal | 21:54 |
| iceman_ | hello core 64 | 21:54 |
| deal_ | I'm new to linux. And everything here is new. I recall only some from my Slackware 4.0 period (wich lasted a few months). But where would you guys start to get a good understanding of Linux Kernel and all that comes with, let us say ubuntu :-D | 21:54 |
| DM| | jrattner1: where all the space is being used | 21:54 |
| core64 | deal_: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/ | 21:54 |
| DM| | jrattner1 should be able to tell what files/folders are using what space | 21:54 |
| iarwain1 | ebirtaid: you stink O.o | 21:54 |
| core64 | K_Dallas: hardy heron will be out by then | 21:54 |
| core64 | hopefully its fixed | 21:54 |
| deal_ | core64: Hehe =) Been there, but thanks. Start there and work my way to a Linux genius! | 21:55 |
| ebirtaid | your mom sucks iarwain | 21:55 |
| Odd-rationale | offipso: Yes, that works (thanks, stefg). But I was looking for a gui - i might forget the command next time I need it. | 21:55 |
| croddy | so is restricted-manager basically an unsupported beta or something? perhaps there is a PCI ID list somewhere i can hack to whip its ass into shape? | 21:55 |
| K_Dallas | core64, i can bear that but again what am i missing right now? | 21:55 |
| jrattner1 | DM|, alright..it shows 78% in /media where all my music is....This makes sense but I have my music on another partition | 21:55 |
| iarwain1 | ebirtaid: that's not nice | 21:55 |
| core64 | K_Dallas: what do you mean missing? | 21:55 |
| K_Dallas | and what this compiz is anyways, what is the old equivalent of it | 21:55 |
| iarwain1 | ebirtaid: i hate you | 21:55 |
| ebirtaid | :( sorry | 21:56 |
| benjammin4 | hi guys i need help | 21:56 |
| core64 | benjammin4: ask away... | 21:56 |
| iarwain1 | ebirtaid: apologies accepted | 21:56 |
| stefg | K_Dallas: might happen... but my feeling is that it's more a hardware problem. So get a new graphics adapter (read: a new notebook) to have compiz fusion running. | 21:56 |
| jrattner1 | DM|, it also shows / as 100% | 21:56 |
| ebirtaid | kk | 21:56 |
| core64 | could be a desktop | 21:56 |
| DM| | jrattner1 how big is your main partition | 21:56 |
| benjammin4 | ok so i just installed ubuntu over vista and now i cant get back into vista thru the grub | 21:56 |
| K_Dallas | stefg, i just bought the darn thing | 21:56 |
| core64 | lol | 21:56 |
| offipso | odd-rationale: Ah, in the device manager, then, you might have to look around.. I know a bit about my card, so I was able to find it quickly.. It was under "nForce 2 AGP" (the AGP bus of my motherboard) and "GeForce 7800 GS" | 21:56 |
| offipso | odd-rationale: Unfrotuantely I don't know any good way to find that.. | 21:56 |
| DM| | Jrattner1 actually, post a screenshot of your BOABAB screen maximized, can use image shack for the SS | 21:57 |
| core64 | stefg: do you have a link to the bug report regarding the Intel card? | 21:57 |
| stefg | K_Dallas: bad luck, but as a linux user you learn quickly to check your hardware for compatibility *first* | 21:57 |
| Odd-rationale | offipso: Thanks! | 21:57 |
| jrattner1 | DM|, sure one momeny | 21:57 |
| offipso | np | 21:57 |
| benjammin4 | the partition is still on my computer i just need to find a way to make grub realize its there | 21:57 |
| ebirtaid | so anyone use arch in here | 21:57 |
| stefg | core64: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/120834 | 21:57 |

| jrattner1 | DM|, it wont let me save it anywhere | 22:03 |
| slowbmw | ubuntu vs centos? is this a good idea for learning the certs? | 22:03 |
| usser | Andycasss, this is not a good idea | 22:03 |
| corruptionoflulz | Andycasss: it's possible, but it's highly unrecommended. | 22:03 |
| ompaul | !root | Andycasss (what you suggest is a bad idea this might help you) | 22:03 |
| ubotu | Andycasss (what you suggest is a bad idea this might help you): 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 | 22:03 |
| LjL | PhinnFort: he's the only user connect to that IP as far as i can see | 22:03 |

| PhinnFort | LjL: ok | 22:03 |
| PhinnFort | LjL: I'm just forwarding what he asked me | 22:03 |
| core64 | Andycasss: is it a script? | 22:03 |
| PriceChild | PhinnFort, -ops please. | 22:03 |
| PhinnFort | PriceChild: am there | 22:04 |
| DM| | jrattner1 well you have bigger problems than i thought, look at your "computer" under Places>Computer | 22:04 |
| PriceChild | Andycasss, your bios will shut the machine down when things get dangerous. | 22:04 |

| PriceChild | !root | narothepharoh | 22:04 |
| ubotu | narothepharoh: 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 | 22:04 |

| thor | timboy: 'course...my first linux install was Slackware 1.0 on a dos 386...<smile> | 23:32 |
| mikebeecham | hey jayde_drag0n....I install gcursor after reading the ubuntu forums...the instruction on there seems to be to drag the bz2 file onto gcursor....but nothing happens | 23:33 |
| mikebeecham | jayde_drag0n: also, when I click the "go to theme folder" nothing happens | 23:33 |
| jayde_drag0n | mikebeecham: what you have to do is un-tar them into the .icons folder | 23:33 |
| soldats | nomojob, hmm i just realized it does say flash is enabled do you have some kind of ad blocker or flash blocker installed | 23:33 |
| jayde_drag0n | mikebeecham: then they will be available to you in mouse properties | 23:34 |
| timboy | thor, yeah if i were even aware of computers back then i might be in the same boat ;) i was probably 6 then | 23:34 |
| thor | timboy: thanks...I needed that <smile> | 23:34 |
| jayde_drag0n | mikebeecham: you will find that foler under home/yourname/ then view hidden files.. and you will see them... .icons for mouse pointers and .themes for gtk themes usually | 23:35 |

| dolphin_noel | someone knows some good tuturial to enable the public_html in ubuntu 7.10 ?! | 23:35 |
| thor | timboy: as I recall, you can install a program launcher in the panel with that command...you might want to run it in a terminal but it shouldn't be necessary | 23:36 |
| jayde_drag0n | mikebeecham: no just extract them to the folder (make sure they are in a folder of their own name... and goto pouse rpoperties .. or somewhere under appearance | 23:36 |
| timboy | thor, thx! | 23:36 |
| jayde_drag0n | mikebeecham: and the new mouse theme will be there | 23:36 |
| mikebeecham | jayde_drag0n: I did that and could seem them within the 'pointer' section of custom....however, when I select the mouse theme...nothing changes | 23:37 |
| simplechat | hey | 23:37 |
| thor | timboy: wish I could be more specific...but I run xfce on both computers so would have to log out and back in to check the gnome specifics | 23:37 |

| nomojob | soldats: how do I get that? Synaptic? | 23:39 |

| logan | I am having problems with my boot settings, can anyone help me? | 23:40 |
| soldats | you need to upgrade your flash player to 9 instead of 8 | 23:40 |
| southafrikanse | _DT: that's the problem. I don't know which partition Windows is in. I know it is tells me "sda6" | 23:40 |
| * emgent heya | 23:40 | |
| thor | logan: what is the erro? | 23:40 |
| jayde_drag0n | mikebeecham: let me see if i can find anything on that | 23:40 |
| soldats | nomojob, ininstall flash and reinstall new version | 23:40 |
| thor | oops...an error in error | 23:40 |
| timboy | logan, no one can help you without knowing the problem... | 23:40 |
| mikebeecham | thanks jayde_drag0n | 23:40 |
| _DT | southafrinkanse: e.g root (sda6,1) = sda6, first partition | 23:40 |
| _DT | e.g root (sda6,2) = sda6, second partition etc.. | 23:41 |
| southafrikanse | _DT: then how come Linux partition is hd0,4? | 23:41 |
| logan | I have my IDE hard drive set to default boot, which has grub installed on it, which gives me the option of booting into linux(ide) or windows(sata). I can boot into windows fine with grub, but if I set my sata drive to my default drive, it doesn't work | 23:41 |
| southafrikanse | Why not sda4? | 23:41 |
| timboy | logan, how are you setting the sata drive to default? | 23:42 |
| logan | in my biod | 23:42 |
| logan | bios | 23:42 |
| thor | logan: are you sure you are using the correct default...remember they start at 0 not 1. ( I just made that mistake this afternoon) | 23:42 |
| _DT | southafrikanse: maybe it's (hd0,1) ; (hd0,2) or (hd0,3) ? | 23:42 |
| logan | I press f12 while my computer boots and select the hard drive from a list, and it doesn't work | 23:42 |
| eth01 | hrm. my wireless isn't working. | 23:43 |
| thor | logan: if you are getting the grub menu then you don't set the default drive in the bios...you change it in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:43 |
| jayde_drag0n | mikebeecham: to clarify any potential simple problems... in your .icons folder you now have a folder with the name of the cursor theme you installed... not just the files in there right... like mine i have 2 folders default and silver and under silver is a folder named cursors and there is all the files.. correct? | 23:43 |
| _DT | southafrikanse: you can probably see the partition name from a tool like qparted | 23:43 |
| logan | I don't want the grub menu any more, I don't want to boot to my IDE drive, I want to boot to my SATA drive | 23:43 |
| nomojob | soldats: is it Gnash SWF Viewer that I should uninstall? | 23:43 |

| thor | logan: have you tried reinstalling the mbr on the sata drive? | 23:44 |
| logan | mbr? | 23:44 |
| soldats | nomojob, Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48 | 23:44 |
| logan | master boot record? no and I don't know how | 23:44 |

| Lounge | got a question about sensors-applet with nvidia | 23:45 |
| mikebeecham | jayde_drag0n: ...I have my folder, JaguarX....within there are two other folders, Cursors and Source...there is also an index.theme file | 23:45 |
| logan | I tried that and when I went to repair it couldnt find a drive | 23:45 |
| jayde_drag0n | mikebeecham: okay i'll be back in a minute | 23:45 |
| mikebeecham | kk | 23:45 |
| Lounge | i compiled sensors-applet with nvidia into a package and installed it | 23:46 |
| eBryon | I have a question about adding an IDE controller to an Ubuntu 7.10 server. I added a Promise IDE controller, moved the CD-ROM onto it, and now can't tell if it detected it, as it's not seeing the CDROM | 23:46 |
| thor | logan: have you ever been able to boot to the sata? Maybe your bios won't support it | 23:46 |
| logan | I just installed this mobo, so no. But it is a brand new mobo and it's pretty good | 23:46 |
| Lounge | but synaptic and the auto updateer wnats to install the package from the repos without the nvidia, how do i work around this? | 23:47 |
| thor | logan: how did you install xp on the sata? on that computer? | 23:47 |
| logan | it was installed previously, I had xp on the sata at first, then later on I added the IDE drive and installed linux and grub on it | 23:48 |
| mkquist | hey all, is it possible to unmount your filesystem while the comp is running ubuntu? and if you do what does it do? | 23:48 |
| sobersabre | hi. I have tried to upgrade a system. | 23:48 |
| sobersabre | And I got it broken abit. | 23:48 |
| jayde_drag0n | mikebeecham: within th jaguarx folder you have source... in the source folder is there another folder labled cursors again as well? | 23:49 |
| thor | ok...so you could boot to it earlier. And the jumpers and cables are the same as originally? You know there is a pair flipped in the ribbon cable if I remember correctly | 23:49 |
| DanThirst | wow this is getting really frustrating, i think the refresh rate my video card is spitting out is to fast for my LCD monitor | 23:49 |
| sobersabre | need advice. | 23:49 |
| rondonson | is this the ubuntu help channel | 23:49 |
| logan | ribbon cable? this is SATA | 23:49 |
| PirateHead | Is there a way to upgrade to the latest version of Wine without breaking anything? | 23:49 |
| riddareralf | Hey all, I need a good ftp client, recently I've used gFTP but I don't really like it so much and it's not that stable | 23:50 |
| riddareralf | What do you use? | 23:50 |
| DanThirst | filezilla | 23:50 |
| DanThirst | riddareralf: filezilla | 23:50 |
| PirateHead | riddareralf: ftp | 23:50 |
| rondonson | ok, ive just install the newest 7.10 version of Ubuntu, partitioned my space to have dual boot alongside windows, installation went well, but when i try to load Ubuntu from grub i get nothing but a black screen | 23:50 |
| tdoggette | riddareralf, FireFTP -- it's a Firefox extension | 23:50 |
| riddareralf | DanThirst, I'll look into it | 23:50 |
| riddareralf | tdoggette, I like FIrefox extensions... | 23:50 |
| tyronepolleri | hi i started to use Kiba today and it was working ok but when i activate the physics option I only see white squares instead of icons can someone help me? | 23:50 |
| PirateHead | riddareralf: How about using FTP at the command line? | 23:51 |
| PirateHead | riddareralf: It's quick and easy. | 23:51 |
| tdoggette | riddareralf, and FTP clients. It's a perfect match. | 23:51 |
| JJtech | rondonson: which did you install first? ubuntu? | 23:51 |
| logan | I can boot to my SATA drive fine from grub(running on an IDE drive) but I can't boot to my SATA drive if I set it to the first boot in my bios | 23:51 |
| rondonson | jj, no windows was already installed, i installed ubuntu alongside it | 23:51 |
| riddareralf | PirateHead, Well I'm not sure | 23:51 |
| jayde_drag0n | mikebeecham: you can also try deleting it... then making sure that appeapance is closed re-extract the tar file to .icons and then try again... i installed the same mousepointer and did not get the same results as you and i know you did as i directed | 23:51 |
| riddareralf | PirateHead, I rather use a GUI one to start with, it's easier when I work | 23:51 |
| mikebeecham | jayde_drag0n: thanks...will try | 23:52 |
| PirateHead | riddareralf: Or, you can use the built-in "Connect to Server..." that lets you access FTP shares as part of the Gnome virtual file system. | 23:52 |
| thor | logan: sorry I can't be more help...I always use laptops...have for years...so almost all my knowledge is pre-sata | 23:52 |
| PirateHead | riddareralf: Places -> Connect to Server... | 23:52 |
| virtuososteve | hey when i start the computer the splash screen doesn't come up whats the command to fix it? | 23:52 |
| logan | can any one recommend me to a place where my hard drive troubles might recieve better support? | 23:52 |
| riddareralf | Oooh nice | 23:52 |
| PirateHead | riddareralf: choose Public FTP, put in your login, and it should come right up. | 23:52 |
| JJtech | rondonson: well, try moving your mouse, or pressing a key.. cos sometime ubuntu will fall asleep during and after grub... i don't know why | 23:52 |
| moh | PirateHead: in a related question. ANy idea how to use Connect to Server.. or some other built-in tool to access NFS mounts? | 23:52 |
| PirateHead | riddareralf: My point is that, while I'm sure you can find some neat FTP programs out there, Ubuntu has a lot of FTP functionality built in. | 23:53 |
| DanThirst | yeah i can't get a boot menu any more this is just wonderful im going to have to format again >_> | 23:53 |
| PirateHead | moh: I use Connect to Server to mount NFS shares myself. | 23:53 |
| rondonson | JJtech, i tried that as well, i dont even see all the stuff loading like i usually do, it just says Starting up, loading, then go's black | 23:53 |
| jayde_drag0n | mikebeecham: the folder should look like this jaguarx>cursors, source, index.theme... within cursors are the xii files.. within source are jpgs and another cursor folder with the same contents as the first cursor folder | 23:53 |
| riddareralf | PirateHead, I understand, I'll try that out, right away | 23:53 |
| PirateHead | moh: Wait, no I don't. I use Browse Network. | 23:54 |
| Pupeno | Anyone using Mono's installer on latest Ubuntu? | 23:54 |
| JJtech | rondonson: hmmm.. | 23:54 |
| PirateHead | moh: NFS shares should be displayed by default on your Network tab. | 23:54 |
| soldats | DanThirst, try botting in command line and running the command i told you about and try to set it to the defaults | 23:54 |
| soldats | booting | 23:54 |
| DanThirst | soldats: i'v done it about 4 times now | 23:55 |
| rondonson | JJtech, yes i know it is very weird, im not new to ubuntu ive ran other versions as wll and ive never seen this problem | 23:55 |
| JJtech | rondonson: hmmm.. in that case, try to look at where you install ubuntu again.. make sure it is not using the C:/ drive that windows is using | 23:55 |
| DanThirst | no matter i can't get gnome running screen goes black, no signal like i knew would happen | 23:55 |
| shiheping | What can I do do!!? | 23:55 |
| soldats | DanThirst, what happened when after you configured it | 23:55 |
| rondonson | jjtech, i will check that out | 23:55 |
| DanThirst | nothing changed | 23:55 |
| DanThirst | same thing | 23:55 |
| moh | PirateHead: Strage, because all I see in the Network window is "Windows Network" | 23:56 |
| soldats | DanThirst, did it always do that or just a recent problem | 23:56 |
| moh | PirateHead: did you setup stuff in /etc/fstab? I have various NFS mounts defined as "user" in there and I still only see Windows Network | 23:56 |
| PirateHead | moh: If I set up an NFS mount, it just shows up separate from the Windows network. | 23:56 |
| DanThirst | its a recent problem when i start using restricted drivers for my radeon 9800, whenever i install the proper drivers for it i can't start up gnome any more | 23:57 |
| Rumpsteak | ; /me waves! | 23:57 |
| PirateHead | moh: I see a bunch of them presently. | 23:57 |
| DanThirst | and i think it has something to do with the refresh rat | 23:57 |
| DanThirst | rate* | 23:57 |
| moh | PirateHead: let me try that out again... | 23:57 |
| PirateHead | moh: I never edited my /etc/fstab, but you would want to do so if you wanted to auto-mount an NFS share upon booting up. | 23:57 |
| soldats | DanThirst, do you have the latest firware for it | 23:57 |
| logan | I can boot to my SATA drive fine from grub(running on an IDE drive) but I can't boot to my SATA drive if I set it to the first boot in my bios. Can anyone help me? | 23:57 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | i have a forcedeth gigabit nic that seems to be running at 100mb, is this all that's available with the current module or is there a setting that i have missed. | 23:57 |
| riddareralf | PirateHead, They ask me for a keyring? | 23:57 |
| DanThirst | firmware for ? | 23:57 |
| === Skiessl is now known as Skiessi | ||
| PirateHead | riddareralf: If it says to give a default password for a keyring, then just put in something memorable. | 23:58 |
| riddareralf | nevermind ^^ | 23:58 |
| moh | PirateHead: so you're saying that it went and discovered other NFS servers on the network magically? | 23:58 |
| soldats | DanThirst, the video card | 23:58 |
| PirateHead | moh: Any of them that are set to be public and discoverable, yes. | 23:58 |
| zstars | What do you do when you break the PATH variable? | 23:58 |
| zstars | I mean, when you erase it | 23:58 |
| zstars | PATH = "" | 23:58 |
| moh | PirateHead: ah. Perhaps that's what I don't know how to do. | 23:58 |
| PirateHead | moh: If you create an NFS share in Ubuntu, it is set to be public by default. | 23:58 |
| carnelain | can somebody help me to get my keys fully functional | 23:59 |
| DanThirst | Ok i'm sorry i'v never heard any one refer to firmware with any reference in video cards? could you explain more? | 23:59 |
| soldats | DanThirst, i dont know a whole lot about fancy video cards but i heard from someone you may need additional firmware for it | 23:59 |
| rondonson | JJtech, would me using a guided install have caused this problem? usually i manually edit the partition table but i noticed this new feature and thought i'd try it out | 23:59 |
| DanThirst | na just drivers | 23:59 |
| PirateHead | moh: I think I know a possible problem - have you installed UNIX filesharing? | 23:59 |
