| PirateHead | moh: see if it tells you you need to install file sharing support | 00:00 |
| riddareralf | PirateHead, Why should I use public ftp? Then it only tries to connect anonymously, so I couldn't enter my usr and pwd | 00:00 |
| rondonson | JJtech, ah it loaded up , for some reason it just doesnt show me the process of it loading everything , thanks | 00:00 |
| DanThirst | Any one know more about video driver, and monitor setups >_> | 00:00 |
| JJtech | rondonson: ^_^ kk.. np :) | 00:00 |
| PirateHead | riddareralf: If you don't want to connect publicly, use the FTP (with login) option. | 00:01 |
| riddareralf | PirateHead, I CAN'T connect publicly. But with this virtual drive I can't open a file on the fly and edit | 00:01 |
| riddareralf | PirateHead, But I suppose that's normal since it's still FTP | 00:01 |
| zstars | So people, what do you do if you erase your PATH? How can you restore it to default or whatever? | 00:02 |
| === michael is now known as smth | ||
| PirateHead | riddareralf: Some programs, ones that have built-in support for Gnome VFS, will be able to edit "on the fly" as you say, without having to download, edit, and upload. | 00:02 |
| soldats | DanThirst, do you have the graphics drivers enabled as well | 00:02 |
| smth | dfd | 00:02 |
| DanThirst | i think how would i find out ? | 00:02 |
| PirateHead | riddareralf: Other programs don't have that support, but you might be able to find it in a plugin or patch if it's important to your workflow. | 00:03 |
| riddareralf | PirateHead, Ah okay, thanks | 00:03 |

| Grav3Mind | anyone know how i can install the icon packages? | 00:08 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: hi there again... just untar the files into your .icons folder | 00:09 |
| ShaunB | Anyone here know how to fix apt-get / synaptec ? | 00:09 |
| CaptainMorgan | Grav3Mind, maybe google does? | 00:09 |
| Grav3Mind | hey jayde ^_^ | 00:09 |
| CaptainMorgan | jayde_drag0n, depends on which application he is installing icons for | 00:09 |
| soldats | ShaunB, what is wrong with it | 00:09 |
| ShaunB | Spits out this error whenever I attempt an update or install a package.Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) | 00:09 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: home/yourname/ hidden files .icons thoe true | 00:09 |
| soldats | ShaunB, are the download mirrors correct | 00:10 |
| ShaunB | They appear to be | 00:10 |
| ShaunB | I've run apt-get update | 00:10 |
| Grav3Mind | should there be a index.theme and development and scalable folders? | 00:10 |
| ShaunB | And run apt-get autoremove | 00:10 |
| jayde_drag0n | CaptainMorgan: true... tho i just drag and drop when i'm just changing an icons picture | 00:10 |
| fungz0r | so what interesting things can i do with ubuntu | 00:11 |
| fungz0r | i just installed | 00:11 |
| ShaunB | that shows some packages that can be removed yet it wont uninstall/install anything | 00:11 |
| soldats | ShaunB, when doing apt-get you need to specify the package name as well | 00:11 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: unless captain knows of another way .. if you want to change the picture of an icon .. like on my desktop.. i just went into properties.. and dragged the picture of what i wanted onto the picture of whats showsn in properties and it changes... i haven't figured out how to make it system wide yet tho | 00:11 |
| Micheru | hi all, i just set up ssh and i can ssh to localhost fine, but when i ssh from wan i get connected to my router, how would i get to my computer (router is 10.1.1.1 computer is 10.1.1.4 if it helps) | 00:11 |
| soldats | ShaunB, like apt-get install pidgin or apt-get autoremove pidgin | 00:12 |
| ShaunB | If I use synaptec, it gives me the same error in the console window | 00:12 |
| Evanlec | um why did i just get 10 dcc requests to send me Fedora 8 iso ? | 00:12 |
| gordonjcp | Evanlec: spammer, I should think | 00:12 |
| virtuososteve | fedora 8 isn't very good | 00:12 |
| astro76 | Micheru, you need to forward port 22 to 10.1.1.4 | 00:12 |
| gordonjcp | Evanlec: some little kiddy undoubtedly found it very funny | 00:12 |
| soldats | Evanlec, yes it is a spammer you may be redirected if it happens a lot | 00:12 |
| ShaunB | Funny thing is it references Hotplug yet says its not installed when I try to remove | 00:12 |
| Micheru | ah, thought it would be something like that thanks | 00:12 |
| Laney | /window level -JOINS -PARTS -QUITS -NICKS | 00:12 |
| PirateHead | fungz0r: There are lots of cool things you can do. | 00:12 |
| Laney | Err, oops. | 00:12 |
| jayde_drag0n | CaptainMorgan: do you know how to change the icon picture for where it shows up on the ... um whats the ubuntu equivalent of taskbar? t | 00:13 |
| ShaunB | Here is the c/v of the error | 00:13 |
| Grav3Mind | ah see i wanna make it system | 00:13 |
| ShaunB | dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1685 package `module-init-tools': `Replaces' field, reference to `hotplug': version contains `)'E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) | 00:13 |
| Evanlec | soldats, okay, redirected? | 00:13 |
| PirateHead | fungz0r: If you're new to Desktop Linux in general, you definitely want to check out the awesome selection of free apps you can download. (Applications -> Add/Remove...) | 00:13 |
| fungz0r | oo kk thanks | 00:13 |
| soldats | ShaunB, hmm ive never seen that error | 00:13 |
| ShaunB | Because of that, it seems I can't install anything. | 00:14 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | what causes this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46195/ when trying to compile in a new module? | 00:14 |
| CaptainMorgan | jayde_drag0n, icons tend to fall in: /usr/share/icons/ | 00:14 |
| rondonson | fungz0r, compiz is pretty cool | 00:14 |
| soldats | Evanlec, if you keep getting dcc requests youll be redirected to #ubuntu-??? | 00:14 |
| CaptainMorgan | jayde_drag0n, right-click the menu or application and select "Edit Menu" | 00:14 |
| fungz0r | whats compiz? | 00:14 |
| ShaunB | fungz0r: 3D desktop + effects | 00:14 |
| fungz0r | oo | 00:14 |
| fungz0r | how do i get it? | 00:14 |
| jayde_drag0n | Grav3Mind: from what i see under appearance customize... in icons... the things i untarred into .themes seem to show up in there as well | 00:14 |
| Evanlec | soldats, right but why me? im connected via port 8001 which i thot prevented this issue | 00:14 |
| PirateHead | fungz0r: Compiz makes the computer look a lot glitzier. 3D effects and so on. | 00:14 |
| jcsteele | i am having some troubles with the forum, it seems whenever I post a long reply, and then click on "submit" firefox just hangs and does nothing...if I log out and log back in, and then try to reply again with the copied text from my previous post....it still hangs. I can post to any other thread with no problems, and this has occured twice now on 2 different threads...any ideas? | 00:15 |
| PirateHead | fungz0r: You need a graphics card and driver, first of all. | 00:15 |
| gilnim | hi | 00:15 |
| jane_ | ShaunB, try sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a | 00:15 |
| fungz0r | haha yeah i got that :P | 00:15 |
| soldats | Evanlec, not sure its just lame kiddies trying to be funny | 00:15 |
| PirateHead | fungz0r: assuming you have a graphics card, go to the Restricted Drivers manager and enable a graphics driver. | 00:15 |
| Micheru | astro76: i am still getting the router on ssh, i have port forwarded as you said | 00:15 |
| CaptainMorgan | jayde_drag0n, once things are changed there, it will typically change what's showing for the taskbar icon | 00:15 |
| Evanlec | soldats, yea i know | 00:15 |
| soldats | they get random people | 00:15 |
| PirateHead | fungz0r: You could possibly use an Open Source one, but they are notoriously bad and under-powered compared to the restricted ones. | 00:15 |
| jcsteele | is there any illegal character combinations that I need be aware of or anything? | 00:15 |
| gilnim | What's the comment for scanning all devices. I want to know where my hdd are. | 00:15 |
| diafic | Someone name a web-based torrent client? | 00:16 |
| ShaunB | jane_: error - dpkg: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove) | 00:16 |
| PirateHead | gilnim: lspci | 00:16 |
| astro76 | Micheru, also you need to connect to the external public IP, not 10.1.1.1 which is the internal IP, and you probably can't do it from behind your router | 00:16 |
| jayde_drag0n | CaptainMorgan: i think i've done that... i went to edit menu... then went to the properties of each individual item and changed the picture... but while it shows up as the correct icon in the menu... it doesnt when its launched where it sits on the upper right of my screen | 00:16 |
| fungz0r | when i go to restricted drivers manager, says that my hardware does not need any drivers | 00:16 |
| fuma218 | hello, have an issue connecting to a windows share | 00:16 |
| gilnim | PirateHead: thanks | 00:16 |
| PirateHead | gilnim: no problem. | 00:16 |
| fuma218 | i am able to mount the share with the correct username and password, but i am unable to open anything. I get an Input/output error | 00:16 |
| CaptainMorgan | jayde_drag0n, you may need to restart your windowing system | 00:16 |
| Micheru | astro76: why not, i am connecting to my external ip (using a dyndns url) | 00:16 |
| PirateHead | fungz0r: Assuming that it's telling the truth, the next thing depends on whether you are on Feisty or Gutsy. | 00:17 |
| ShaunB | jane_: first console said dpkg: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove) | 00:17 |
| PirateHead | (or Dapper) | 00:17 |
| Micheru | as in why wouldn't i be able to do that? | 00:17 |
| ShaunB | oops...sorry it said dpkg: unknown option --reconfigure | 00:17 |
| fungz0r | on using gutsy | 00:17 |
| jane_ | ShaunB sems type --reconfigure 2 -- | 00:17 |
| EjChris | alguem me chamo? | 00:18 |
| jayde_drag0n | CaptainMorgan: well i believe a reboot will accomplish the same thing.. and i've done that since making the changes.. and it didn't change... or is that a specific command that a reboot doesn't fix? | 00:18 |
| jane_ | ShaunB, typo | 00:18 |
| PirateHead | fungz0r: In that case, you can very easily enable Compiz by going to System -> Preferences -> Appearance | 00:18 |
| astro76 | Micheru, only if your router supports nat relfection will that work | 00:18 |
| tacone | hello, question: | 00:18 |
| tacone | ctrl+alt+backspace reset the box, not only X | 00:18 |
| PirateHead | fungz0r: From that point, go to Visual Effects (the last tab), and enable one of the 3D Effects options. | 00:18 |
| Micheru | astro76: apparantly not then i will try from another bot thanks for the help | 00:18 |
| CaptainMorgan | jayde_drag0n, hmmm... I've made icon changes many times... | 00:18 |
| tacone | can somebody help me resolve that ? | 00:19 |
| CaptainMorgan | jayde_drag0n, *successfully.. so I'm not sure what's wrong with yours | 00:19 |
| fungz0r | which effects should i do? | 00:19 |
| jayde_drag0n | CaptainMorgan: i'll take a new screenshot with the menu showing so you can see what i see.. i might not be explaining right | 00:19 |
| mikebeecham | can anyone explain how I get Sonata to work? It's all a little confusing for me? | 00:19 |
| PirateHead | fungz0r: I suggest the Extra effects, for the most wow-effect right out of the box. | 00:19 |
| ShaunB | jane_: Help doesn't show a reconfigure but a configure so I used that instead, and it gave me this output: dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1685 package `module-init-tools': `Replaces' field, reference to `hotplug': version contains `)' | 00:19 |
| PirateHead | fungz0r: However, there is an advanced effects configurator that allows you to customize and totally soup up the effects engine. | 00:19 |

| tigran | Hey. I've asked this question a couple times here, so I apologize if I get repetitive. My wireless connection is less than 20mbps. It should be 54mbps. I have an Atheros card and was using the restricted driver for it. Someone here told me to try ndiswrapper and I did. Though, it did no good. If anyone else has any other ideas I would greatly appreciate it. | 00:23 |

| riotkittie | tamer_: open a terminal and type free -h | 00:24 |

| pipo | riotkittie: thanks, i got a huge list of things how do I know which is my wifi card? | 00:24 |
| kelsin | mikebeecham: sonata is a frontend for mpd... I would recommend (unless you KNOW you want mpd) you look into banshee, rhythmbox, or listen as a music player | 00:24 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | Are you using only G on the wifi to get 54mb | 00:24 |
| JJtech | tamer_: go to system>>>>administration>>>>system monitor | 00:24 |
| PirateHead | tamer_: For RAM info, you can use the System Monitor (System -> Administration -> System Monitor) which will show you your total ram, vram, and ram usage.l | 00:24 |
| tamer_ | tnx alot my dera | 00:24 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | if you use Wifi B mode it will downgrade to what is most stable | 00:24 |
| mikebeecham | kelsin....are there any benefits of mpd / sonata over rhythmbox? | 00:24 |
| riotkittie | pipo: try lspci | grep -i wireless | 00:24 |
| tamer_ | ok tnx alot | 00:25 |
| tigran | UBUNTUISOLVED: Is that for me? | 00:25 |
| ZaNGaMaN | PirateHead: can you help me a little bit i am newbie in linux | 00:25 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | Yup | 00:25 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | go into your router and check if Wifi b mode is off | 00:25 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: I can certainly try. Are you having any particular problem? | 00:25 |
| tigran | UBUNTUISOLVED: Let me check. and if I understood correctly, it should be G? | 00:25 |
| soldats | tacone, run this in a terminal instead of using the keys sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 00:25 |
| Evanlec | mikebeecham, lower resource usage, thats about it | 00:25 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | Yes wifi G mode is the faster of the too | 00:25 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | two | 00:25 |
| kelsin | mikebeecham: mpd is a daemon that runs in the background behind X, to play music... there are benefits and drawbacks. If you JUST need a iTunes like music player the other three are good. MPD just allows you to restart X without killing the music player (rarely useful unless you work in odd ways) or want to control the music playing from another computer | 00:25 |
| Kveldulf | Is there a chance I could get help with a problem installing? | 00:26 |
| mikebeecham | Evanlec: thanks | 00:26 |
| Evanlec | mikebeecham, i like rhythmbox, and if you're happy with it, you won't be happy with mpd/sonata | 00:26 |
| ZaNGaMaN | piratehead i cannot listen or play a movie ,and when i am trying to instal codec it gives me that eroor mesage that i post 2 minutes ago | 00:26 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | also tigran what is your percent on network manager for strength of signal | 00:26 |
| mikebeecham | kelsin: Evanlec...I have used rhythmbox and I do like it...I've just trying all of Linux's lovely stuff before settling down, I guess | 00:26 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: I looked up and saw your error. How did you install Ubuntu? | 00:26 |
| tigran | UBUNTUISOLVED: It was G and B in my router, so I put G only now. Lets see if it makes a difference | 00:27 |
| pipo | riotkittie: i got this 04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) so what is the name lol sorry for the dumb question | 00:27 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | yea diid you reboot or save it in the router | 00:27 |
| mikebeecham | I used Exaile for a while, but it kept crashing, so Rhythmbox works fine | 00:27 |

| Evanlec | mikebeecham, if u find rhythmbox is laacking in some features, u might try banshee as it has more features (tho none i ever needed) | 00:28 |
| mikebeecham | PirateHead: the audio codec seems to be a little crisper than itunes imo | 00:28 |
| ZaNGaMaN | p | 00:28 |
| skelter | i like amarok as a music player | 00:28 |
| tigran | UBUNTUISLOVED: The signal strenght? | 00:28 |
| soldats | mikebeecham, also amarok is really nice and has many features | 00:28 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | on network manager? | 00:28 |
| mikebeecham | Evanlec: never heard of banshee | 00:28 |
| riotkittie | pipo: Intel 3945ABG -- i'm not personally familiar with that chipset but afaik, intel is easy to get working | 00:28 |
| skelter | amarok looks slick, searches music fast, and works well with my ipod | 00:28 |
| tigran | UBUNTUISLOVED: Yes | 00:28 |
| mikebeecham | soldats: I tried Amarok...it's too 'bubbly' | 00:28 |
| Evanlec | mikebeecham, its a similar one to itunes/rhytmbox | 00:28 |
| mikebeecham | I dont like all the glossy buttons | 00:28 |
| soldats | mikebeecham, to each his own then | 00:29 |
| ZaNGaMaN | piratehead i try to play a song ,and it now working and the program is loking for codecs he found some codec i pres to instal but it not alowing me | 00:29 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | what is your network card | 00:29 |
| pipo | oh ok no it works i just need the name for something else i was just really confused but thanks a lot | 00:29 |
| PirateHead | Evanlec: banshee is a music player built using Mono and C# by Novell. It's tied to the "Helix" community. It's a pretty nice player in general. | 00:29 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | brand name and model | 00:29 |
| semba | Booting the same system with a kernel I still have left over from Feisty works, so it's something different between the two kernel versions that is causing the "Lost interrupt" message. Has anyone else seen this? | 00:29 |
| ZaNGaMaN | Cannot install 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse' | 00:29 |
| jane_ | ShaunB, very sory its sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a | 00:29 |
| ZaNGaMaN | This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse' the conflicting software must be removed first. | 00:29 |
| ZaNGaMaN | Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict. | 00:29 |
| tigran | UBUNTUISLOVED: Its an atheros. And lspci to check the model? | 00:29 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: I have no clue why that would be. It should just work - it certianly did for me. | 00:29 |
| ZaNGaMaN | this is my eroor mesage | 00:29 |
| Evanlec | PirateHead, thanks for the technical info ;p | 00:29 |
| fungz0r | does anybody have warcraft 3, frozen throne on their ubuntu? | 00:29 |
| kelsin | mikebeecham: if you def try banshee and listen, both are nice as well. If you really like the look of sonata google for "Mpd" and check out it's main site. That will explain alot, good luck | 00:29 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | yes | 00:29 |

| brian994 | WAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA | 00:30 |
| brian994 | oops | 00:30 |
| pipo | just wondering how u guys put up with this channel lol, i would go crazy trying to help everyone | 00:30 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | one sec | 00:30 |
| brian994 | sorry | 00:30 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: However, perhaps you can get things working using VLC. | 00:30 |
| soldats | pipo, yea it goes by really fast | 00:30 |
| mikebeecham | going to look at banshee...see what thats like | 00:30 |
| soldats | pipo, we do what we can though | 00:30 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: To try that, go to Applications -> Add and Remove, then search for VLC. | 00:30 |
| ZaNGaMaN | pirate i wil instal kubuntu is more easy | 00:30 |
| tigran | I love this channel, so helpful and people don't flame :) | 00:30 |
| fungz0r | anybody have warcraft 3 installed? | 00:30 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: That's a bit drastic, but if you're wanting to give Kubuntu a try, go for it! | 00:30 |
| kelsin | fungz0r: I do | 00:31 |
| ZaNGaMaN | piratehead i belive that i instaled a version for amd 64 procesoors | 00:31 |
| pipo | ;) cudos to you guys then lol keep up the good work! | 00:31 |
| kelsin | fungz0r: wine is not the easiest thing, be prepared to read and google a lot | 00:31 |
| ZaNGaMaN | mayby that why it does not work | 00:31 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: Are you not on an AMD 64 processor? | 00:31 |
| ZaNGaMaN | i am on amd am2 64 bits | 00:31 |
| soldats | fungz0r, vmware may also work for you | 00:31 |
| graelin | Can anyone point me in the right direction here? System monitor says that there 17.4G total space on my /home dir. The only subdir there is my home directory that says 95 files totaling 4.4GB. Says there is 696Mb free. Any idea where the rest is? | 00:32 |
| fungz0r | well my friends want to get wc3, and then i want to dl a program so i can play online | 00:32 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: Ah, that explains some things. Restricted codecs are often broken on 64-bit machines. | 00:32 |
| jdfoote2 | Hi - I'm having some problems with OOo - Writer takes up the whole screen, covering my panels, etc. Does anyone know how that setting can be changed? | 00:32 |
| ZaNGaMaN | pirate head what veriosn you recomand for newbies like me? | 00:32 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | Tigran DO THIS iwlist wlan0 bitrate | 00:32 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: Version of Ubuntu? | 00:32 |
| ZaNGaMaN | no linux | 00:32 |
| graelin | How do I run a check on that partition? | 00:33 |
| scguy318 | ZaNGaMaN: you could try enabling Medibuntu if that helps | 00:33 |
| ZaNGaMaN | i liked kubuntu i sow on internet somthing | 00:33 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: Ubuntu is great for Newbies. Mandriva also comes highly recommended. | 00:33 |
| Lounge | i locked a package version down in synaptic but the update manager still wants to update it!!! is this a bug? | 00:33 |
| ZaNGaMaN | wich is the difference betwin kubuntu and ubuntu? | 00:33 |
| scguy318 | !medibuntu | ZaNGaMaN | 00:33 |
| ubotu | ZaNGaMaN: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 00:33 |
| hubuntu | which channel for talk about ububntu as a trademark*? I'm buying a domian for the LoCo tema so I thought it would be an idea to check it | 00:33 |
| fungz0r | has anybody tried using a program to play LAN over the internet? | 00:34 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: Kubuntu uses a desktop environment called KDE, which is geared more for computer power-users and hackers. | 00:34 |
| sotec_prod | Can someone tell me what program or what alternate program I need to convert dvd ifo files to...anything? swf, avi, mpeg, anything? (it's a commercial we shot at work and it needs to go on the website) | 00:34 |
| scguy318 | fungz0r: Hamachi, but on Windows, on Ubuntu it seems to be fubared | 00:34 |
| mikebeecham | banshee...looks great...but I've had to import my music from rhythmbox, as I could not specifically choose my shared media drive as a source Evanlec | 00:34 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: Gnome, which Ubuntu uses, is widely considered more newbie-friendly since it has fewer options and configuration steps to go through. | 00:34 |
| scguy318 | sotec_prod: I know more about that stuff on Windows :P I prob would check out Afterdawn and 9doom for stuff like that | 00:34 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: However, if you love to tweak your computer, KDE gives you plenty of opportunities. | 00:34 |
| scguy318 | sotec_prod: immediate thought would be oh VLC transcode? im not too wise on this stuff | 00:35 |
| mw-home | Am experimenting with editing my /etc/X11/xorg.conf. How do I restart X? | 00:35 |
| ZaNGaMaN | piratehead so you recomand i get ubuntu for normal 32 bits? | 00:35 |
| Lounge | i locked a package version down in synaptic but the update manager still wants to update it!!! is this a bug? | 00:35 |
| scguy318 | mw-home: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace | 00:35 |
| fungz0r | is there another program that can be used instead of hamachi? | 00:35 |
| fungz0r | one that works on ubuntu? | 00:35 |
| logan | I need to clear the MBR on a sata drive, how can I do this without a windows xp cd? | 00:35 |
| slvmchn | ok i have three partitions, a windows, linux, and storage partition (and linux swap but i don't count that because i don't actually see it)... so my bootloader was on my storage partition, and i used grub to dual boot vista and gutsy.... now i reinstalled XP, formatting the vista partition, but when i boot it skips grub and goes right to XP... how do i re-enable grub? | 00:35 |
| sotec_prod | argh. | 00:35 |
| tigran | UBUNTUISOLVED: I think my wifi went out for a sec. Not sure if you said anything. | 00:35 |
| PirateHead | ZaNGaMaN: If you're using a 64 bit processor, then using it to run a 32 bit operating system means you're giving up some of your potential. | 00:35 |
| sotec_prod | i need this by Monday. | 00:35 |
| Evanlec | mikebeecham, well, i'd stick with rhythmbox then, it does everything i need... | 00:36 |
| riddareralf | I did some settings to edit my mouse, now when I try to start x it gets a bit messy. XGL won't load, can I somehow check in xorg.conf where it starts? | 00:36 |
| mw-home | thanks for the advice. control-alt-backspace logged me out also. | 00:36 |
| PirateHead | Gotta go guys. | 00:36 |
| ZaNGaMaN | PirateHead: but the 64 bits sistem is not working i barely instalet chatzila nothing works | 00:36 |
| graelin | Can anyone point me in the right direction here? System monitor says that there 17.4G total space on my /home dir. The only subdir there is my home directory that says 95 files totaling 4.4GB. Says there is 696Mb free. Any idea where the rest is? | 00:36 |
| kakoonia | hey, if im trying another desktop manager, lets say im switching from gnome on gutsy to kde enviorment.. if i remove gnome packages, will they remain in the same settings if im installing them back? | 00:36 |
| ZaNGaMaN | xcaht not alowed | 00:36 |
| wabiD | is there an easy way to mount an ipod as a hard drive, and not a music player | 00:36 |
| mikebeecham | well I've give it a go first Evanlec | 00:36 |
| ZaNGaMaN | rmc arhives don`t work | 00:36 |
| soldats | mw-home, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 00:36 |
| mikebeecham | I like a lot of it's features already | 00:36 |
| wabiD | for some reason samba wont share folders on my ipod | 00:36 |
| ZaNGaMaN | audiocodec don`t work | 00:36 |
| Evanlec | ZaNGaMaN, that is unlikely to be a 64bit issue | 00:36 |
| cafuego | graelin: in dotfiles and hidden directories | 00:37 |
| Evanlec | ZaNGaMaN, xchat and almost any other app will work on 64bit Gutsy | 00:37 |
| jane_ | graelin, use df and du | 00:37 |
| sotec_prod | wabiD, mojopac for Windows allows you to boot a windows system from your ipod. Don't know about linux though | 00:37 |
| ZaNGaMaN | tel me at instalation | 00:37 |
| wabiD | i just want to be able to share my ipod file to my xbox | 00:37 |
| tigran | UBUNTUISOLVED: I cant send private messages. Can you tell me how to register the nickname? | 00:37 |
| ZaNGaMaN | i use main partiition as ext2 | 00:37 |
| ZaNGaMaN | or as ext 3 | 00:37 |
| Evanlec | ZaNGaMaN, ext3 | 00:37 |
| PriceChild | !register | tigran | 00:37 |
| ubotu | tigran: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration | 00:37 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | one sec | 00:37 |
| sotec_prod | Does anyone know of video conversion software for linux? | 00:37 |
| ZaNGaMaN | i had ext2 now cand this be a problem? | 00:38 |
| deniz_ | can sum1 help me with my physical science homework? | 00:38 |
| sotec_prod | dvd to swf. I' | 00:38 |
| deniz_ | lol | 00:38 |
| sotec_prod | I've scoured the web and can't find anything | 00:38 |
| scguy318 | sotec_prod: ffmpeg | 00:38 |
| Evanlec | ZaNGaMaN, no...and u can convert it to ext3 | 00:38 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | thanks pricechild | 00:38 |
| scguy318 | sotec_prod: but not sure how well it does DVD IFOs | 00:38 |
| sotec_prod | thanks scguy318, I'll try that | 00:38 |
| Evanlec | ZaNGaMaN, ext3 just offers better stability if ur system crashes | 00:38 |
| scguy318 | sotec_prod: i really would strongly suggest peeking at Afterdawn or those video sites | 00:38 |
| scguy318 | Evanlec: along with faster mount and fsck :) | 00:38 |
| ZaNGaMaN | so where is the problem..... then.... cose it not alowing me anithing | 00:38 |
| sotec_prod | Afterdawn? | 00:38 |
| jb0nd38372 | !register | jb0nd38372 | 00:38 |
| sotec_prod | alright | 00:38 |
| scguy318 | sotec_prod: doom9 also perhaps | 00:38 |
| Evanlec | scguy318, yea that too i spose | 00:39 |
| Evanlec | scguy318, but slower performance overall | 00:39 |
| deniz_ | is FeCl3 called Iron Triclorine, Iron Tricloride or neither? | 00:39 |

| whabo | i know this might be a silly question. but is there any First Person Shooter games for ubuntu? NOT windows based... just FPS games from linux ( multiplayer)..???? | 00:39 |
| slvmchn | whabo: yes | 00:39 |
| deniz_ | whabo, ya | 00:40 |
| Evanlec | whabo, http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?src=rss&id=1907 | 00:40 |
| Micheru | whabo: lots | 00:40 |
| TD-Linux | hello | 00:40 |
| whabo | slvmchn what games are they??? | 00:40 |
| slvmchn | whabo: True Combat: Elite, Tremulous, and Savage: Battle for Newerth are among the best in my opinion | 00:40 |
| TD-Linux | I'm starting an ubuntu cd on an old computer | 00:40 |
| TD-Linux | how do I keep it from taking years to start? | 00:40 |
| deniz_ | Micheru, ive never actually seen or played them | 00:40 |
| whabo | NICE THX .. thank you alllll | 00:40 |
| TD-Linux | it's been loading for 15 min | 00:40 |
| whabo | ill try them :P | 00:40 |
| slvmchn | True: Combat Elite is a mod for Wolfenstein: Enemy territory, but ET is like WW2: quake edition, too fast-paced | 00:40 |
| TD-Linux | X server is up | 00:40 |
| deniz_ | Micheru, r they good like halo or half-life 2? | 00:40 |
| slvmchn | but the mod is amazing, it's like counterstrike but 10x better | 00:40 |
| Micheru | deniz_: same, my computer doesn't have the power | 00:40 |
| TD-Linux | see brown background and cursor | 00:40 |
| TD-Linux | it's busy loading off cd | 00:40 |
| slvmchn | much more balanced and realistcally paced | 00:41 |
| Evanlec | TD-Linux, there probably is no way...liveCD will always take much longer to load up then a hard drive install | 00:41 |
| TD-Linux | I know | 00:41 |
| Evanlec | TD-Linux, and on an old computer that effect will be magnified | 00:41 |
| TD-Linux | on other computers it takes ~10 min | 00:41 |
| aricz | get Warsow! | 00:41 |
| slvmchn | ok i have three partitions, a windows, linux, and storage partition (and linux swap but i don't count that because i don't actually see it)... so my bootloader was on my storage partition, and i used grub to dual boot vista and gutsy.... now i reinstalled XP, formatting the vista partition, but when i boot it skips grub and goes right to XP... how do i re-enable grub? | 00:41 |
| TD-Linux | this one | 00:41 |
| TD-Linux | is rediculous | 00:41 |
| scguy318 | TD-Linux: use alternate CD if LiveCD sucks | 00:41 |
| TD-Linux | the purpose of the livecd is to dd the hard disk | 00:41 |
| deniz_ | Micheru, well mine is not that weak, but this summer im collecting to buy a quad core with 8800 gt gfx which is rely good :D and im 15 ;) | 00:42 |
| scguy318 | TD-Linux: dont use the LiveCD, use safe graphics or a different distro like Linux System Rescue CD | 00:42 |
| scguy318 | TD-Linux: or the alternate | 00:42 |
| TD-Linux | okay | 00:42 |
| Micheru | deniz_: hehe i have an onlt pos dell and no job hehe | 00:42 |
| fungz0r | anybody use lancraft or battlelan? or know if it works in buntu? | 00:42 |
| riddareralf | If I don't have XGL at /usr/bin, then there is something wrong right? | 00:42 |
| Micheru | *old | 00:42 |
| TD-Linux | the other thing | 00:42 |
| TD-Linux | is there a way to force ubuntu to use dma when loading off the livecd? | 00:42 |
| TD-Linux | I have a feeling that might be the problem | 00:42 |
| scguy318 | TD-Linux: it should do that automatically I believe, as kernel option dunno | 00:43 |
| deniz_ | Micheru, i have no job yet, im hoping to work for a month and buy a comp | 00:43 |
| scguy318 | TD-Linux: it might be something...Compiz related, dunno | 00:43 |
| jayde_drag0n | slvmchn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 that should solve your problem | 00:43 |
| Micheru | deniz_: then how did you get the card? | 00:43 |
| scguy318 | TD-Linux: screw that use Linux System Rescue CD | 00:43 |
| Micheru | present ? | 00:43 |
| deniz_ | Micheru, im going to get them this summer | 00:43 |
| Micheru | ah | 00:43 |

| scguy318 | Grav3Mind: how exactly did you enable Emerald anyway? | 00:45 |

| Micheru | deniz_: none | 00:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | ask! | jdfoote2 | 00:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | oops | 00:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | !ask | jdfoote2 | 00:46 |
| ubotu | jdfoote2: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 00:46 |
| jdfoote2 | OpenOffice is taking up my whole screen, covering the panels, etc. | 00:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | jdfoote2: Sounds like it's in full screen mode. | 00:47 |
| jdfoote2 | And the menu is unresponsive | 00:47 |
| deniz_ | Micheru, i kinda have to do my homework and i came on the ubuntu channel looking for help lol, i thot i would find some but ill google insted | 00:47 |
| jdfoote2 | Do you know where that setting is? | 00:47 |
| gilnim | howto mount a *.iso | 00:47 |
| fungz0r | lol | 00:47 |
| scguy318 | gilnim: use fuseiso or do mount -o loop isofile /mnt/point | 00:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | jdfoote2: Try hitting Ctrl+Shift+J | 00:47 |
| danbhfive | anyone know about apache configuration? ie how do I add to it? | 00:47 |
| Micheru | deniz_: haha, hmm maybe we should take this convbo to pm, (i am unfiltered so you can pm, me) | 00:47 |
| Lounge | i think this is a synaptic bug - wants to update locked packages | 00:48 |
| jdfoote2 | Arthur: No go - that puts it into fullscreen mode | 00:48 |
| fungz0r | what are some good keyboard or mouse shortcuts? | 00:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | jdfoote2: You'll have to describe your problem then. I thought you were stuck in full-screen mode, but it sounds like going full screen then undoing has no effect on your problem. So what exactly is the problem? | 00:49 |
| danbhfive | how do I edit my apache configuration? | 00:49 |
| ZaNGaMaN | how i unrar an rpm archive i instaled rpm too | 00:51 |
| tyler_3 | ssh password storage on either putty or poderosa? anyone wanna take a stab or refer a program? | 00:51 |
| nirgle | *ahem* | 00:51 |

| ZaNGaMaN | !rpm | 00:51 |
| 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) | 00:51 |
| jdfoote2 | Arthur: That makes the icon menu disappear - when out of full screen mode the icons are there, but the program takes up the whole screen, and doesn't show the top bar, and covers my panel at the bottom | 00:51 |
| jayde_drag0n | hey what is the command to change my name in here? | 00:52 |
| danbhfive | \name maybe | 00:52 |
| jdfoote2 | Clicking a menu button (File, edit, etc.) brings up the menu for a moment, then the menu disappears | 00:52 |
| jdfoote2 | Arthur: In addition, right-clicking in the program does the same thing - bringing up a menu, which quickly disappears | 00:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nick? | 00:52 |
| ArthurArchnix | jdfoote2: Oh... I think I understand. When you hit maximize it takes up the whole screen and your panels don't act like the edge of the screen then? | 00:52 |
| ZaNGaMaN | use /nick ............ | 00:52 |
| jdfoote2 | I've heard that it's related to Compiz | 00:53 |
| magnetron | tyler_3: i got to go now, but you need to generate a private/public key pair. putty has a tool with good instructions. | 00:53 |
| === jayde_drag0n is now known as jayde_drag0n_im_ | ||
| jdfoote2 | Arthur - it's maximized from the start, and that's right - the panels don't act like the edge of the screen | 00:53 |

| user1 | scguy318: wonder is it ok here | 01:15 |
| virtuososteve | i have it | 01:15 |
| southafrikanse | Jack_Sparrow: I've already tried that. It said: "Error 21: No such operation on device" or something like that | 01:15 |

| ToddEDM | thor: im on my laptop, and i selected PRINTERS , and the printer from the desktop is there | 01:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | virtuososteve: If you mean how to get it working under wine... try #winehq | 01:15 |
| magnetron | LjL: EUCD is a directive and not a law | 01:15 |
| Hanyou | kelsin: It now pings to 192.168.0.1-254, but not to my net at the other end of a point to point T1 that has the local IP range of 192.168.1.1-254. It needs to ping to that to get out to the net. | 01:15 |
| virtuososteve | i have wine | 01:15 |
| scguy318 | user1: possibly, ask a lawyer, but I'm sure it'll be fine, I doubt the MAFIAA will be kicking in doors to find copies of libdvdcss2 | 01:15 |
| clay3482 | hello people - can anyone help me with a mount point problem | 01:15 |
| thor | ToddEDM: so....do we need to be MORE successful <smile> | 01:16 |
| jrib | clay3482: you need to tell us the promlem | 01:16 |
| magnetron | virtuososteve: did you check appdb? | 01:16 |
| virtuososteve | i just need to know how to do this: The installer will not run without mfc42.dll, so download the file from [1] and extract the file to your /home/<yourname>/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 directory | 01:16 |
| LjL | magnetron: as a directive, countries must implement it as a law. some might not have done so yet, and others may have interpreted it more liberally, but the fact remains that it applies in a few of them. | 01:16 |
| soldats | !ask | clay3482 | 01:16 |
| ubotu | clay3482: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 01:16 |
| virtuososteve | what is "appdb?" | 01:16 |
| user1 | so UE now also is that stupid america corportations bit^H hostage :( ? | 01:16 |
| Hanyou | kelsin: I have my laptop running the same config and it is not having any problems so I doubt it's just Linux unfriendly hardware. | 01:16 |
| scguy318 | virtuososteve: the web page that I and some other peoplez linked you to | 01:16 |
| jrib | virtuososteve: visit the winehq website | 01:16 |
| user1 | hmm anyway... lets see if it works | 01:16 |
| jpastore | I'm trying to burn a bootable cd. k3b seems to lack the ability to do this. and I don't see an option in gnome baker. can someone make a recommendation? | 01:16 |
| kelsin | Hanyou: your laptop is also on the 192.168.0 network and can ping the 192.168.1? | 01:16 |
| ToddEDM | thor: i want to delete all Jobs, it is asking for a password.. i dont think i made a pass for it | 01:16 |
| kelsin | Hanyou: check the output of route -n on your laptop and desktop and compare | 01:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | southafrikanse: You might try !diskmounter and mount your windows partitions and make sure windows files are still there. | 01:16 |
| ToddEDM | thor: nm | 01:17 |
| virtuososteve | look i have wine updated and everything i just need to know how to put this certian file in the wine folder | 01:17 |
| LjL | user1, this is not a politics channel, i'm simply telling you even if you don't live in the US, there may still be laws against using some DVD decryption... you should check from more reliable sources if you're concerned about it. | 01:17 |
| Hanyou | kelsin: Yes, just double checked. | 01:17 |
| ToddEDM | i spoke too soon | 01:17 |
| scguy318 | virtuososteve: use Nautilus or whatever you do when you want to copy files | 01:17 |
| jrib | virtuososteve: if you want to know what appdb is, visit winehq | 01:17 |
| thor | ToddEDM: log into the desktop. You view the jobs in a terminal with 'lpq' and cancel them with the 'cancel' command | 01:17 |
| virtuososteve | can you give me the link again please? | 01:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jpastore: k3b will do it.. do you have an iso you are working with | 01:17 |
| scguy318 | !appdb > virtuososteve (see the PM) | 01:17 |
| K_Dallas__ | guys! I installed the restricted-extra and still no sound! | 01:17 |
| ToddEDM | thor i canceled them with cups , in the browser | 01:17 |
| thor | ToddEDM: I assume you have sshd running on one or both computers? | 01:17 |
| danbhfive | virtuososteve, what is the problem that you are having? | 01:17 |
| ToddEDM | thor: im not sure what sshd is | 01:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jpastore: if so.. right click the iso and select write to disk | 01:18 |
| scguy318 | ToddEDM: sshd = SSH server | 01:18 |
| clay3482 | my problem is I changed the mount point on a external USB HD - I thought I could make it open up to specific directory - anyway now when I try and mount it the system displays moint_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /) so apparently i didnt set it right. how do i reset it back to default? | 01:18 |
| kelsin | Hanyou: and this is probably a stupid question, but the netmask and broadcast are the same on desktop and laptop? | 01:18 |
| jpastore | Jack_Sparrow, yes. I can't find the option and I found an article stating that it lacked the unfunctionality | 01:18 |
| ToddEDM | how do i check? | 01:18 |
| LjL | K_Dallas__: does « sudo cat </dev/urandom >/dev/dsp » give you sound? (warning, might be loud) | 01:18 |
| Hanyou | kelsin: My laptop was having similar problems earlier today, but it resolved itself mysteriously. | 01:18 |
| thor | ToddEDM: it is the ssh server...you should install it on the desktop, then you can log into the desktop from the laptop without having to go in the other room | 01:18 |
| Hanyou | kelsin: I will check. | 01:18 |
| ZaNGaMaN | for a newbie wich is better mandriva or kubuntu? | 01:18 |
| virtuososteve | i have to put mfc42.dll in /home/<yourname>/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 | 01:18 |
| virtuososteve | UBUNTU | 01:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jpastore: Please link the article.. | 01:19 |
| LjL | virtuososteve: the problem being? | 01:19 |
| jrib | ZaNGaMaN: try both and use what you like | 01:19 |
| danbhfive | so, whats the problem? why dont you just do it? | 01:19 |
| kelsin | ZaNGaMaN: either | 01:19 |
| thor | ToddEDM: after you install and learn ssh and sshd...look at the -X option for ssh...you can run linux apps on the desktop in a window on the laptop | 01:19 |
| soldats | clay3482, you most likely need to edit your fstab file | 01:19 |
| clay3482 | ZaNgaMan - UBUNTU 7.10 no doubt | 01:19 |
| magnetron | LjL: the implementation differs greatly between countries. as an example, the Swedish implementation allows you to circumvent copy protection if it's necessary for legal access to your media. (watching your dvds with libdvdcss2 etc) | 01:19 |
| virtuososteve | how to get to it and getting the privileges | 01:19 |
| Hanyou | kelsin: They are the same. | 01:19 |
| K_Dallas__ | LjL, it says device is busy | 01:19 |
| ArthurArchnix | LjL: xournal loads the pdf as a background image, making reading difficult. Any other suggestions? An adobe acrobat like product perhaps? | 01:19 |
| clay3482 | soldats - where is teh fastab file | 01:19 |
| virtuososteve | becoming root | 01:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !root | 01:19 |
| ubotu | 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 | 01:19 |
| astro76 | clay3482, you changed it through the properties? when you edit it there, it should not be the full path, but just the directory under /media to use | 01:19 |
| scguy318 | virtuososteve: the Wine folder is owned by you... | 01:19 |
| kelsin | Hanyou: honestly this goes beyond my understanding then :-( good luck with it | 01:19 |
| danbhfive | virtuososteve: ok, i can help, but you need to be specific with your questions | 01:19 |
| jrib | virtuososteve: it's in your home, you don't need to be root | 01:19 |
| scguy318 | virtuososteve: Ctrl + H in Nautilus to see | 01:19 |
| LjL | magnetron, i don't think i've said *all* EU countries make it illegal. | 01:19 |
| ToddEDM | thor: im not getting what your saying... it is a linux box too, my desktop | 01:19 |
| ArthurArchnix | Jack_Sparrow: I'd never seen that root thing before. That's hilarious | 01:19 |
| soldats | clay3482, sudo gedit fstab | 01:19 |

| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 01:20 |
| scguy318 | soldats: gksudo gedit | 01:20 |
| LjL | ArthurArchnix, perhaps acrobat itself? | 01:20 |
| clay3482 | astro76 - I know that now - thanks | 01:20 |
| ToddEDM | ubuntu | 01:20 |
| jpastore | Jack_Sparrow, I just closed it...let me look...I think it was older version...he was referencing...but google didn't turn up much else. you stated that it will do it...can you point me to where the option was? | 01:20 |
| thor | ToddEDM: right...but you can run everything from both computers on the laptop screen (or the desktop screen if you prefer) | 01:20 |
| Hanyou | kelsin: Don't worry I bashed my head with my laptop for 2 hours today for it to mysteriously start working tonight. | 01:20 |
| soldats | scguy318, huh | 01:20 |
| LjL | virtuososteve, why would you need root, since the folder is in your own user's home? | 01:20 |
| astro76 | clay3482, to fix it you will have to find and delete the entry using gconf-editor | 01:20 |
| scguy318 | soldats: when running GUI apps, use gksudo | 01:20 |
| soldats | scguy318, i know i was trying to help clay3482 | 01:20 |
| thor | ToddEDM: install sshd on the desktop...it will only take a minute | 01:20 |
| danbhfive | Hanyou: have you tried the dig command? | 01:20 |
| scguy318 | soldats: not sudo | 01:20 |
| virtuososteve | ok i get it | 01:20 |
| virtuososteve | no root | 01:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jpastore: what kind of file is it you are starting with? | 01:20 |
| pikeshouse88 | you know what you could do for halo with linux, buy a freaking xbox for 50 bucks, there you go, geez people are we serious about this? | 01:20 |
| virtuososteve | here's my question | 01:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | LjL: Under wine, of course... I mean I can just take notes. I'm not about to drop a few hundo's for the privelege of making a few notes. I'll keep my eyes out though for something... | 01:20 |
| scguy318 | pikeshouse88: we dont want to sponsor MS, duh | 01:21 |
| K_Dallas__ | LjL, when i installed and the livecd was loaded, there was sound! now that it is fully installed, no sound | 01:21 |
| scguy318 | pikeshouse88: though I guess the copy of Halo does that in a way :P | 01:21 |
| pikeshouse88 | dont be ridiculous | 01:21 |
| soldats | scguy318, gedit runs as gui anyways | 01:21 |
| jpastore | Jack_Sparrow, article: http://alternativenayk.wordpress.com/2007/01/19/the-value-of-k3b-cddvd-burning-software/ | 01:21 |
| scguy318 | pikeshouse88: some of us like our PCs | 01:21 |
| scguy318 | soldats: when running a GUI app as root, prefix with gksudo | 01:21 |
| Hanyou | danbhfive: Didn't know there was one. I'm pretty new to Linux as a whole since the late 90's. | 01:21 |
| scguy318 | soldats: not sudo | 01:21 |
| thor | ToddEDM: you might also need xinet...not sure if it is installed or not | 01:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | virtuososteve: Questions about getting your windows programs to run under wine are better asked in #winehq | 01:21 |
| Xacarith | Has any one here ever tried to run something called OpenRPG? | 01:21 |
| LjL | ArthurArchnix, uh, no, not under WINE. there is a Linux version of Acrobat Reader, and there used to be an official Ubuntu package too. now there's no official package anymore, but i think it's still in some repository | 01:21 |
| ToddEDM | whats the command to install sshd | 01:21 |
| kelsin | virtuososteve: honestly wine is going to take work to make work right. If you don't fully understand copying files around your home directory yet you might want to wait a bit and learn some about linux before trying to get wine working | 01:21 |

| virtuososteve | i need to get mfc42 into the wine folder, and ive looked for it but cant find it, i have wine but cant find the file | 01:21 |
| jpastore | Jack_Sparrow, it's a windows xp volume license iso I created from the original...which is in the safe at the office and I've burned a ton of cd's from. | 01:21 |

| virtuososteve | i did | 01:22 |
| danbhfive | hanyou: lol, I've only been using it for a year, I know random bits, dig tests the dns | 01:22 |
| thor | ToddEDM: I'll wait here <smile> | 01:22 |
| kelsin | duhokay: yes, once you get ntfs reading and writing working, you can share it just the same as any other linux fs (nfs, samba etc) | 01:22 |
| virtuososteve | nothing happens | 01:22 |
| duhokay | thanks | 01:22 |
| jpastore | Jack_Sparrow, I mounted the iso into a folder to test the contents were accessible. I only did a ls but looked fine... | 01:22 |
| scguy318 | virtuososteve: in Nautilus? | 01:22 |
| scguy318 | virtuososteve: should show hidden files in your home | 01:22 |

| scguy318 | virtuososteve: the file manager | 01:22 |

| ubotu | virtuososteve: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 01:22 |
| danbhfive | hanyou: dig yahoo.com to see if you get an ip | 01:22 |

| amicrawler | what is the command to tell what ubuntu i'm running | 01:23 |
| scguy318 | amicrawler: lsb_release -a | 01:24 |
| Hanyou | danbhfive: It stops at the other end of my T1 line on my firewall at 192.168.1.254. I don't think it's just my firewall though, because it can't hit any of my server farm on that range either. | 01:24 |
| K_Dallas | amicrawler, uuname | 01:24 |
| LjL | virtuososteve, so are you. i think you're not listening to what people actually suggest to you, and rather assuming you know better. perhaps you don't, if you don't even know what nautilus is. open Nautilus in your home directory, hit Ctrl+H, and see if a ".wine" folder appears. | 01:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jpastore: that option works fine.. best to select a slower burning speed than normal | 01:24 |
| thor | ToddEDM: and opensshd | 01:24 |
| virtuososteve | i did it thank you | 01:24 |
| magnetron | LjL: keep an eye on FloodBot<1,2,3> | 01:24 |

| ToddEDM | hey thor, should i be doing this on the desktop too ? | 01:25 |
| K_Dallas | LjL, any hope that i get my sound back? | 01:25 |
| jpastore | Jack_Sparrow, I'm trying to install into a virtual box...and I'm getting invalid bootable media | 01:25 |
| thor | ok...let's see if it is working. On the laptop open a terminal and type 'ssh desktopip' | 01:25 |
| danbhfive | hanyou: interesting, so you can't ping outside of that | 01:26 |
| jpastore | Jack_Sparrow, I'm wondering if there's a problem with the file because I couldn't mount the iso from virtual box | 01:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jpastore: ok.. I dont do anything vm,wine etc... someone may be able to help | 01:26 |
| ToddEDM | todd@todd-laptop:~$ ssh desktopip | 01:26 |
| ToddEDM | ssh: desktopip: Name or service not known | 01:26 |

| thor | ToddEDM: it will ask if you want to accept the key...say yes...it will only ask the first time | 01:26 |
| LjL | K_Dallas, i'm not very experienced with sound and ALSA to be honest. besides telling you the obvious - i.e. to make sure everything relevant is enabled and set to a medium volume in the system mixer - i'm not sure what to tell you | 01:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jpastore: possibley... you are trying to burn or copy a mounted iso? | 01:26 |
| scguy318 | ToddEDM: well, substitute the IP address for desktopip | 01:26 |
| Hanyou | Nope I get to 192.168.0.1 and connection stops, just on the desktop though. Not the laptop or the 50 windows boxes sitting in the office. | 01:26 |
| thor | ToddEDM:no..you need the ip address of the desktop....192.168.0.3 or whatever | 01:26 |
| ToddEDM | hey thor, gimme a sec, i gotta take a piss | 01:26 |
| ToddEDM | ok | 01:26 |

| Hanyou | danbhfive: Maybe I can restart it into submission like I did with my laptop lol. | 01:27 |
| jaydedrag0n_girl | LjL: just because someone is new and knows their way around their file structure.. does not automatically infer that they know everything about their system.. it does not make them dumb or stupid just new... i know a few commands my way around my file structure.. pretty good with compiz... but do i know what nautilus is? no not really i'm sure i could read up on it... but that doesn't make me stupid just new | 01:27 |

| jpastore | Jack_Sparrow, ahhh...well let me give it another go maybe I'll try burning directly from my external...maybe the copy was bad | 01:33 |

| PeteOnline | Anyone know of a website with a really good description of static routing on a standard ipv4 network? I know this isn't exactly the best place to ask this, but it does involve staticly routing my ubuntu server | 01:34 |
| jimjam | jrib: I was looking at -ctime, but I can't figure out which order my arguments should go in. | 01:35 |
| Hanyou | Anyone have any other ideas? | 01:35 |

| tuxthepenguin533 | yes | 01:36 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | PICI gave them to me | 01:37 |
| ToddEDM | how the hell do you remember all this , with the names of these linux programs so phucked | 01:37 |
| openmindDJ | I cant seem to remember how to resolve this annoyance. When I roll my mouse over a music file, it starts playing automatically. Any ideaS? | 01:37 |

| thor | ToddEDM: I lack a life | 01:37 |
| danbhfive | hanyou: im not the most knowledgable about these things, but I have heard that routers can block individual ports | 01:37 |
| Pici | openmindDJ: Its in the Nautilus preferences. | 01:37 |
| ToddEDM | haha | 01:37 |
| openmindDJ | ohh yea.... | 01:37 |
| thor | ToddEDM: and I was lucky enough to find someone to help when I was sitting there where you are <smile> | 01:37 |
| Ongaku | hmm well rhythmbox and amarok are acting funny...i can play a song, but when i switch to a different song it freezes | 01:37 |
| ToddEDM | ok i got all that installed on the desktop.. and restarted xinetd | 01:37 |
| Hanyou | danbhfive: Went through that with the laptop. All that was left when I was done was me to terminal into my Cisco Gateway and rewrite my routing table. | 01:38 |
| ToddEDM | yeah i thank you thor | 01:38 |
| jimjam | jrib; Oh! Thanks! | 01:38 |
| scguy318 | ToddEDM: old age and experience :P | 01:38 |
| thor | ToddEDM: now try ssh to the desktop from the laptop... | 01:38 |
| thor | remember when it asks to use the pw you have on the desktop...not the laptop | 01:38 |
| Csaba | i need some help getting trash can and showdesktop on avant dock | 01:38 |
| openmindDJ | Thanks Pici, can;t believe I forgot that! | 01:38 |
| ToddEDM | cool i think that worked | 01:39 |
| thor | ToddEDM: it gets better...stick with me | 01:39 |
| PeteOnline | or a good irc channel where I could talk to some networking gurus as my question isn't specific to ubuntu... | 01:39 |
| kakoonia | hey, is there a way to go back to a previouse state of ubuntu? | 01:39 |
| ToddEDM | haha right on | 01:39 |
| duende | hiii | 01:39 |
| kakoonia | restore... | 01:39 |
| Ongaku | kakoonia: reinstall old one :P lol | 01:39 |
| duende | jomknjoip | 01:39 |
| thor | ToddEDM: if you look around you will see you are now on the desktop...you see the desktop file structure. Every command you enter there will occur on teh desktop...not the laptop | 01:39 |
| duende | mnklnion | 01:39 |
| ToddEDM | thor , you realize, now i will be looking for you EVERYTIME i have a problem! | 01:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kakoonia: dont suppose you made any backups | 01:39 |
| scguy318 | kakoonia: like downgrading version? no | 01:39 |
| Hanyou | danbhfive: I'm pretty swift when it comes to anything PC or Apple related, but this has me tied upside down on a freeway overpass. | 01:40 |
| jimjam | jrib: Any way I can copy all of those files? | 01:40 |
| kakoonia | jack | 01:40 |
| thor | ToddEDM: and most importantly...everything you do is via ssh...and encrypted channel...so it is about as safe as it can get | 01:40 |
| scguy318 | kakoonia: you could clean install but that's not typical meaning of downgrade in the usual sense | 01:40 |
| ToddEDM | cool | 01:40 |
| thor | ToddEDM: we will make it a little safer later... | 01:40 |
| thor | ToddEDM: now...when you are done....type 'exit' and you should return to the laptop prompt | 01:40 |
| thor | ToddEDM: take your time | 01:40 |
| jrib | jimjam: you can use -exec cp (see examples in find's man page) or pipe to xargs cp | 01:40 |
| jimjam | jrib: Thanks so much | 01:41 |
| === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth | ||
| ztomic | I could swear this is caused by the linux-kernel-rt: "There was an error starting GNOME settings daemon... will try to restart the next time you log in." I have two computers that started doing this after upgrading to the real-time kernel. Anyone know what's going on? | 01:41 |
| === Varka_ is now known as Varka | ||
| kakoonia | im not meaning downgrade, i tried to fix something with my laptop screen, so i did some bad adjustments.. now.. i got some bad things going on reboot and resolution got bad.. so i was wondering if theres a way to go back to a previouse state of this installation that worked fine... | 01:41 |
| root_ | ghgf | 01:41 |
| stodge | Just installed Gutsy - I thought this version was supposed to have complete/easier support for configuring xorg? I'm still stuck at a refresh rate of 50Hz. | 01:41 |
| ztomic | Is anyone using the real-time kernel? | 01:42 |
| danbhfive | stodge: are you using nvidia? | 01:42 |
| stodge | yes | 01:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stodge: use dpkg-reconfigure and enter the refresh rates for your monitor | 01:42 |
| danbhfive | there is a bug in the nvidia drivers concerning refresh rates | 01:42 |
| thor | ToddEDM: remember...you can open several terminals so you can compare what you are doing on the desktop to what you have on the laptop (if you are so inclined) | 01:42 |
| stodge | compiz works a treat though with minimal work, which was nice | 01:42 |
| stodge | jack_sparrow: I thought that was supposed to be a thing of the past? | 01:42 |
| thor | ToddEDM: you can even open several ssh sessions to the desktop...although that would be redundant and repetitive | 01:43 |
| kakoonia | im not meaning downgrade, i tried to fix something with my laptop screen, so i did some bad adjustments.. now.. i got some bad things going on reboot and resolution got bad.. so i was wondering if theres a way to go back to a previouse state of this installation that worked fine...?? | 01:43 |
| Galatea2 | i've got a problem with networking. | 01:43 |
| ztomic | stodge: I have to edit my xorg.conf to get proper refresh rate. | 01:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stodge: If it dosent setup your hardware you still need to do it manually | 01:43 |
| ToddEDM | sorry for sounding so newbish, but what am i supposed to do on the desktop? | 01:43 |
| stodge | :( | 01:43 |
| thor | ToddEDM: nothing...you do it all from the laptop...that is the point | 01:43 |
| ToddEDM | yeah thats what i meant | 01:44 |
| Galatea2 | ubuntu is NOT giving itself an ip address, even though i specifically told it to do so | 01:44 |
| danbhfive | stodge: the nvidia driver scrambles the refresh rate information, so if you are using the driver, the wrong refreshes will get reported | 01:44 |
| ToddEDM | i just wanan print a doc | 01:44 |
| stodge | ah ok | 01:44 |
| danbhfive | stodge: i have the same problem | 01:44 |
| thor | ToddEDM: for instance, if you type 'mkdir /home/ToddEDM/temp' it will make the directory on the desktop...not on the laptop...even though you are typing on the laptop | 01:44 |
| scguy318 | kakoonia: oh, probably your xorg.conf | 01:44 |
| PeteOnline | ping | 01:44 |
| stodge | I have the horiz and vert values set in xorg.conf | 01:44 |
| Galatea2 | pinging doesn't work since it doesnt have an IP | 01:44 |
| scguy318 | kakoonia: you could try doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to possibly regenerate the default config | 01:44 |
| Galatea2 | everything is just lost | 01:44 |
| ToddEDM | i want print/my/damn/document | 01:44 |
| Galatea2 | no route to host, etc | 01:44 |
| ToddEDM | lol | 01:44 |
| Hanyou | danbhfive: Well, regardless I got it to work on one machine today even if it was just luck. | 01:45 |
| kakoonia | scguy318 | 01:45 |
| kakoonia | 01:45 | |
| cyzie | ToddEDM, setup your printer already | 01:45 |
| cyzie | ? | 01:45 |
| kakoonia | bahh | 01:45 |
| thor | ToddEDM: by the end of this evening...you can put your desktop in the closet and let it run there <smile> | 01:45 |
| ToddEDM | lo | 01:45 |
| ToddEDM | l | 01:45 |
| ztomic | danbhfive: I don't think it has anything to do with vid card.... I could be wrong but I don't think so. | 01:45 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | does ubuntu have a registrey | 01:45 |
| scguy318 | tuxthepenguin533: not really | 01:45 |
| ToddEDM | cyzie: yes | 01:45 |
| Galatea2 | tuxthepenguin533: no | 01:45 |
| cyzie | tuxthepenguin533, no | 01:45 |
| danbhfive | hanyou: yeah, I dont think i can help much more | 01:45 |
| Marcusklaas | God I love virtualbox | 01:45 |
| cyzie | ToddEDM, so setup it then, it's easy | 01:45 |
| scguy318 | tuxthepenguin533: GConf is about the closest thing to one, and its hardly a registry | 01:45 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | then where do configs go | 01:45 |
| ToddEDM | it is | 01:45 |
| thor | ToddEDM: when you are ready...log out of the desktop | 01:45 |
| Galatea2 | anyone here good with networks? | 01:45 |
| Pici | scguy318: No. gnome uses a registry-like system called gconf, but its very organized | 01:45 |
| Pici | tuxthepenguin533: files | 01:45 |
| scguy318 | kakoonia: wut | 01:45 |
| thor | ToddEDM: and log back in with 'ssh -X ipaddress' | 01:46 |
| musashi | i want to extract an osx .dmg to get at a graphics file. can i do this in ubuntu? | 01:46 |
| kakoonia | scguy318 is xserver-xorg a part of the command? | 01:46 |
| ztomic | Galatea2: just ask. | 01:46 |
| scguy318 | Pici: I meant in the Window sense :) | 01:46 |
| danbhfive | hanyou: it is interesting, your pings are getting stopped at a certain spot | 01:46 |
| scguy318 | kakoonia: yes | 01:46 |
| thor | ToddEDM: that is an uppercase X | 01:46 |
| lukaszz | hi | 01:46 |
| kakoonia | k | 01:46 |
| scguy318 | kakoonia: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:46 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | whats kde use then like gconf | 01:46 |
| Hanyou | danbhfive: Don't worry I didn't come in expecting a solution, just a push in the right direction. | 01:46 |
| lukaszz | Jest tu ktos z polski ? :> | 01:46 |

| kakoonia | ill try, thanks\ | 01:46 |
| Pici | tuxthepenguin533: I think it just uses files | 01:46 |
| Assid | heya | 01:46 |
| lukaszz | ok | 01:46 |
| Galatea2 | why can't ubuntu just work? | 01:46 |
| scguy318 | kakoonia: after doing that try restarting X | 01:46 |
| Hanyou | danbhfive: As I said, samn thing with the computer I am typing on right now earlier today. Then, poof, magic it works. Wierd...... | 01:46 |
| musashi | Galatea2, it does for me | 01:46 |
| thor | cyzie...nothing...we got the printer working and now I am showing him how to control the desktop without having to be in front of it | 01:47 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, why nto ? | 01:47 |
| ToddEDM | cyzie: i want to print a doc. with my desktop... im on my laptop | 01:47 |
| Assid | is it me, or does compiz manage to work better with ubuntu/gnome? | 01:47 |
| PeteOnline | why can't windows just work? | 01:47 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | where do the files get stored | 01:47 |
| Galatea2 | because one moment ago | 01:47 |
| ToddEDM | no no thor, it hasnt printed yet | 01:47 |
| ztomic | ... | 01:47 |
| corruptionoflulz | tuxthepenguin533: everything is in your home dir | 01:47 |
| cyzie | thor, many ways then, ssh and vnc, rdesktop is a few ways | 01:47 |
| Galatea2 | i was transferring files from this laptop to the computer running ubuntu | 01:47 |
| Galatea2 | through a physical network link | 01:47 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | ok | 01:47 |
| Galatea2 | the next second, i return, and it refuses to connect | 01:47 |
| cyzie | ToddEDM, easy, 1st ssh to your desktop, do the lp command | 01:47 |
| thor | ToddEDM: should...you said you found the printer in cups on the laptop...so it should be in the printer menu when you print from a program | 01:47 |
| PeteOnline | anybody know static routing? | 01:47 |
| Hanyou | danbhfive: Just wish there was someone in here that knew exactly what my problem was. | 01:47 |
| Assid | PeteOnline: what about it? | 01:48 |
| PeteOnline | or a good channel to ask that same question in? | 01:48 |
| danbhfive | ztomic: i filed a bug report because I couldn't select a valid refresh rate, even though it was in my xorg.cong, and the guy told me it was a bug in the nvidia driver, it sounded like that guy was having the same problem, but for sure, i still cant select a refresh rate :) | 01:48 |
| Galatea2 | and now using ifconfig -a | 01:48 |
| Assid | PeteOnline: whats your question on it | 01:48 |
| Galatea2 | my network does not contain an inet entry | 01:48 |
| Hanyou | PeteOnline: This channel is as good as any go. | 01:48 |
| PeteOnline | Assid: I've been trying to wrap my head around it basically. To actually understand it | 01:48 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, dhcp ? | 01:48 |
| thor | ToddEDM: the ssh stuff is so you can install and config programs without having to sit in front of the computer...sorry...got ahead of the game | 01:48 |
| Galatea2 | yes | 01:48 |
| ztomic | danbhfive: hmm... interesting. | 01:48 |
| Galatea2 | "roaming mode" | 01:48 |
| PeteOnline | I get ip addressing and subnetting and all | 01:48 |
| Galatea2 | and this computer is configured with a static IP | 01:48 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, do a networking restart | 01:48 |
| Assid | PeteOnline: very very simple.. think of the destiantion ip address as a destination on a map | 01:49 |
| ToddEDM | thor: thats ok... that was good info | 01:49 |
| Galatea2 | how do i do that? | 01:49 |
| Assid | the route itself as different routes to that location | 01:49 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, /etc/init.d/networking restart in root | 01:49 |
| AutoMatriX | just updated GPSD ... gpsdrive don't work no more | 01:49 |
| thor | ToddEDM: if you open the document on your laptop, when you go to print it, you should find the network printer on the drop down menu | 01:49 |
| ToddEDM | ok i see the printer when im printing from openoffice | 01:49 |
| Assid | if you hve a multi homed network, then you basically choose which netwrok you want to use to reach that destination | 01:49 |
| ToddEDM | yes i see it thor | 01:49 |
| lukaszz | hi | 01:49 |
| thor | ToddEDM: ok...does it print? | 01:49 |
| Galatea2 | okay let's see now | 01:49 |
| lukaszz | i need help | 01:49 |
| ToddEDM | no, it sits in queue | 01:49 |
| Galatea2 | nope, still not there | 01:50 |
| PeteOnline | I understand the idea behind static routing, but the way you enter static routes on most consumer grade routers confuses me | 01:50 |
| lukaszz | how to get more bright in ubuntu ? | 01:50 |
| Hanyou | PeteOnline: Go to https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/networking-enable.html#networking-enable-nm | 01:50 |
| Assid | if you wanna go to florida from newyork, then you choose a route for the whole state of florida.. and not just cape canaveral | 01:50 |
| thor | ToddEDM: is it in the queue on the laptop or the desktop? | 01:50 |
| Laney | Does anyone know why my display still suspends after 10 minutes even though I've turned it off in Screensaver and Power Management? It's quite annoying when watching videos (shouldn't video players disable this anyway?) | 01:50 |
| ToddEDM | haha it woulda been funny if i said YA IT PRINTS | 01:50 |
| thor | ToddEDM: use the 'lpq' command on both machines | 01:50 |
| billy | anybody have some extensive knowledge about windows? | 01:50 |
| Galatea2 | in fact, now i can't even select the radio button in the network menu near the clock thing | 01:50 |
| Ongaku | rhythmbox keeps on crashing when i manually select a song...anyone know wtf is up with it? | 01:50 |
| Hanyou | PeteOnline: That is the Ubuntu Documentation on manual config and such. | 01:50 |
| Assid | PeteOnline: just read up on subnet masks.. that should easily clear it for you | 01:50 |
| ToddEDM | lpq: error - no default destination available. | 01:50 |
| AutoMatriX | anybody who uses gpsd ? | 01:50 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, i have never get any porblem on that | 01:50 |
| Galatea2 | (the radio button which corresponds with my network) | 01:51 |
| thor | ToddEDM: was that on the desktop or the laptop? | 01:51 |
| Galatea2 | well maybe you're lucky :( | 01:51 |
| jaydedrag0n_girl | billy: can i ask why you are asking about windows in the ubuntu channel? | 01:51 |
| ToddEDM | both | 01:51 |
| billy | just wondering :p | 01:51 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, not lucky u dumb | 01:51 |
| thor | ToddEDM: you can print from the desktop, right? | 01:51 |

| scott__ | I am brand new to Ubuntu. I have been running PCLinuxOS for about 9 months. I'm having some issues with Grub. Is this the right place to ask for help? | 01:51 |
| Galatea2 | how so? | 01:51 |
| Assid | okay so, does compiz somehow work better on gnome for some stupid reason? or is that just me | 01:51 |
| PeteOnline | I have read up on subnet masks, how it bitwise masks the ip address to discern the network portion and the host portion, etc | 01:51 |
| jaydedrag0n_girl | billy: is it not in your grub menu? | 01:51 |
| Galatea2 | you see, if i was to connect to it wirelessly though the house's router, it connects to my shared folder almost instantly | 01:51 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, what do YOU mean how ? | 01:52 |
| billy | well its in the menu | 01:52 |
| billy | when when i boot it | 01:52 |
| ToddEDM | yup... im printing a test doc right now thor | 01:52 |
| Galatea2 | well, what do you want me to check, cyzie? | 01:52 |
| billy | it loads the welcome page, then restarts | 01:52 |
| ToddEDM | from the Desktop | 01:52 |
| thor | ToddEDM: from the desktop, right? | 01:52 |
| ToddEDM | yes | 01:52 |

| jaydedrag0n_girl | billy: when you load into ubuntu and check the file directories.. is everything seemingly in order? or are your folders empty? | 01:52 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, go to /etc/network check the interfaces entry | 01:53 |
| PeteOnline | well lemme try this question: I have an ubuntu server behind a router and I want to give it an external static ip through the router | 01:53 |
| thor | ToddEDM: and you did add the network printer on the laptop using cups, right? | 01:53 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, dont enable wireless and ethernet at the same time | 01:53 |

| Hanyou | Anyone know how to setup a Dell Laserjet to a gutsy install that is networking. I tried the Samba browser and I couldn't find it. Would manually entering it in do the trick? | 01:54 |

| Galatea2 | because what else can i enable, since i can't select anything apart from wireless | 01:54 |
| jaydedrag0n_girl | billy: did this just happen when you installed ubuntu... or was this previously working and then stopped suddenly | 01:54 |

| Galatea2 | okay i'll do that | 01:55 |
| ztomic | PeteOnline: nope. you can't do two. but you may forward from other server or set up individual ports from the router. | 01:55 |
| Hanyou | billy: Then please refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base or call their customer support. | 01:55 |

| khin | hi, whenever i try to do a sudo command with & it just skips over the password prompt and cancels the command, how do i do this | 01:57 |
| thor | ToddEDM: once you have both queues cleared...open cups on the laptop and go to the Printers tab | 01:57 |
| cyzie | that is why your networking fuckup | 01:57 |
| Galatea2 | heh yeah | 01:57 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, what did u do ? | 01:57 |
| Galatea2 | it's /etc/network/interface, right? | 01:57 |
| Galatea2 | nothing | 01:57 |
| noobynoob | were allowed to swear | 01:57 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, no | 01:57 |
| Galatea2 | as i said, i returned and then it wouldn't work | 01:57 |
| jaydedrag0n_girl | no not really | 01:57 |
| cyzie | it's /etc/network/interfaces | 01:57 |
| billy | oh ok | 01:57 |
| Galatea2 | well yes that's what i meant | 01:58 |
| PeteOnline | ztomic: so would I be able to do the same / similar thing with static routing? | 01:58 |

| danbhfive | watch the packets from another computer | 02:00 |

| ToddEDM | hold on | 02:00 |
| PeteOnline | ztomic: unfortunatley, the same port is going to be used on 2 different machines behind the router | 02:00 |
| thor | ToddEDM: then open cups in the browser on the laptop | 02:00 |

| scguy318 | Marcusklaas: no Aero tho :P | 02:01 |
| thor | Marcusklaas: now...can you emulate a more serious disease <smile> | 02:01 |
| Marcusklaas | aero = ?? | 02:01 |
| ztomic | PeteOnline: put a switch between the modem and the router. set up the servers on the switch and the other computers on the router. | 02:01 |

| Marcusklaas | oh lol :( | 02:01 |

| ToddEDM | controlled by printout mode.... | 02:03 |
| thor | cyzie...they are page length and such...would be specific to his setup | 02:03 |

| cyzie | Marcusklaas, yes | 02:04 |
| thor | cyzie...they aren;t real important right now...would just mess up the format | 02:04 |
| Marcusklaas | ah cool | 02:04 |
| Marcusklaas | where can i configure that? | 02:04 |
| thor | cyzie...I wanted him to know they are there | 02:04 |
| PeteOnline | in interfaces? | 02:04 |
| Galatea2 | right. | 02:05 |
| cyzie | thor, hehe. yes, show the kiddie | 02:05 |
| ToddEDM | yes also it says published thor | 02:05 |
| robdig | Grav3Mind: applications->accessories->take screen shot | 02:05 |
| thor | ToddEDM: good...then it should be working. When you click on Print Test Page does it give an error? | 02:05 |
| Grav3Mind | VIDEO | 02:05 |
| Grav3Mind | not screen shot | 02:05 |
| PeteOnline | ztomic: i have that figured out, my question is more on the router's side, which I realise isn't really this channel's purpose | 02:05 |
| robdig | Grav3Mind: ah...you did say video, my apologies...don't know there | 02:05 |
| ToddEDM | ok i see something i idnt notice before, which i shoulda, its in big bold type ....Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds... | 02:06 |
| Grav3Mind | lol sorry robdig.... | 02:06 |
| thor | ToddEDM: really...that means it can't get to the desktop...are you running firewalls? | 02:06 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, good to go now ? | 02:06 |
| kn4rF | it's possible to run keyboard events from bash terminal? | 02:06 |
| ztomic | PeteOnline: yeah, i hear you. I'v never done it. probably set your servers up to receive from IP and the router to static route to an ip. I dunno. | 02:06 |
| thor | ToddEDM:...wait...check this.... | 02:06 |
| ToddEDM | thor, maybe on my router | 02:07 |
| thor | ToddEDM: on the printers tab...click on Modify Printer | 02:07 |
| Galatea2 | nope | 02:07 |
| Galatea2 | is it possible | 02:07 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, ? | 02:07 |
| Galatea2 | that i just add my own entry | 02:07 |
| thor | ToddEDM: no...the router would only be firewalled to the internet | 02:07 |
| kn4rF | Galatea2, how? | 02:07 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, yes | 02:07 |

| ArthurArchnix | I'm looking at an emacs interface for the first time because i want to learn to use 'r' and I'm told ESS (emacs speaks statistics) is the way to go, but I am really displeased with the display. It looks bad, like what gnucash looked like in Feisty. Any ideas on improving font rendering, at the very least? | 02:07 |
| thor | ToddEDM:click on Modify Printer, then Click on Continue... | 02:07 |
| PeteOnline | ztomic: yeah, I think we both have the same level of knowledge on this, neither of us know how to do static routing on the router. blind leading the blind and all | 02:07 |
| Grav3Mind | anyone know of a good VIDEO screen capture program | 02:07 |
| Galatea2 | like, i'd just write iface eth0 inet static | 02:08 |

| Marcusklaas | and it does | 02:08 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, yes, then u need to insert the ip ssubnet mask and gw | 02:08 |
| thor | ToddEDM: Make sure the device is right...I think it should be AppSocket/HP Direct | 02:08 |

| ToddEDM | thor: it was windows printer via samba | 02:08 |
| ToddEDM | i changed it | 02:09 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, yes, ubuntu work out of the box unless u go mess it up and that u dont know what u are doin | 02:09 |
| danbhfive | !ask | vee_ | 02:09 |
| ubotu | vee_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 02:09 |
| thor | ToddEDM: you may have to play with those to see which driver works | 02:09 |
| vee_ | hehe | 02:09 |
| neko | i have a problem. when i move icons on desktops , it makes copy instead of just move it | 02:09 |
| vee_ | thanx | 02:09 |
| ToddEDM | ok np | 02:09 |

| thor | ToddEDM: I am running a Canon iP90 on ubuntu and that is what I needed for my laptop | 02:09 |
| Galatea2 | well i didn't touch anything at all! | 02:09 |
| kelsin | ArthurArchnix: you can install emacs 23 from http://peadrop.com/blog/2007/01/06/pretty-emacs/ | 02:09 |
| vee_ | I was hoping this would make things easier. | 02:10 |
| Galatea2 | this is frustrating. ubuntu isn't meant to destroy the network after i leave for a few minutes | 02:10 |
| thor | ToddEDM: once you have it changed (try the AppSocket) click continue and see if the device url is OK | 02:10 |
| vee_ | When I went to install 7.10 - it saw two disks instead of 1 | 02:10 |
| thor | ToddEDM: oops...hold on | 02:10 |
| vee_ | So I choose the first | 02:10 |

| ztomic | extra cost too but nics are cheap | 02:11 |

| cyzie | if u are not the one who is change it, then have u look into other possiblity? | 02:11 |
| thor | ToddEDM: on the next page you should see the device url | 02:11 |
| vee_ | what did I do wrong? | 02:11 |
| cyzie | like software that change it ? | 02:11 |
| PeteOnline | yeah, i might just do that in the end, but static routing through the router and locking down that specific ip address would be best | 02:11 |

| danbhfive | PeteOnline, don't the linksys routers have good config software, which handles all that? | 02:12 |

| ToddEDM | hmmmm | 02:12 |
| Galatea2 | why does eth0 broadcast an ipv6 address, but not an ipv4? | 02:12 |
| thor | ToddEDM: nope...your desktop is linux, right? | 02:12 |
| PeteOnline | danbhfive: I'm using dd-wrt, custom firmware installed on a linksys | 02:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | scott__: when grub loads, i presume its when you boot your ubuntu drive first, right? | 02:12 |
| ToddEDM | yeah!! | 02:12 |
| danbhfive | i see | 02:12 |
| ToddEDM | usd to be windows | 02:12 |
| Galatea2 | and what's the difference between eth0 and eth0:avah | 02:12 |

| scott__ | The working Grub is on the new hard drive | 02:13 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, fix yoru problem first. | 02:13 |

| plamo | Query: Gparted doesn't let me unmount my /dev/sda1 hard drive because other things are mounted to the same point, how do I get it so I can unmount it? | 02:13 |
| ToddEDM | thor: no | 02:13 |
| cyzie | Galatea2, u are running away from your own problem | 02:13 |
| ToddEDM | its wrong | 02:13 |
| Galatea2 | well i've tried everything including setting my network to DHCP inside interfaces | 02:13 |
| thor | ToddEDM: right...you need to change that...smb://ipaddress/name | 02:13 |
| scott__ | I boot up and I get a grub menu to choose my OS. Ubuntu and PCLOS are both on the list | 02:13 |
| thor | ToddEDM: ipaddress is the ipaddress of the desktop, and name is the name you put into Samba on the desktop | 02:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | scott__: ok, can you browse the old drive, and look at the grub menu config? IF so, it will tell you what parameters it was using, and you can just set those perameters inside Ubuntu's grub menu.lst, | 02:13 |
| Galatea2 | I am literally lost for ideas | 02:13 |

| thor | ToddEDM: once you have the url set, click continue | 02:14 |
| Galatea2 | interfaces is now devoid of the entry i put in, and saved | 02:14 |
| thor | ToddEDM:choose the printer and click continue | 02:15 |
| vee_ | yes- i went to that site already -- doesnt cover 71.0 | 02:15 |
| ToddEDM | i dont know thqat name i put in samba | 02:15 |
| vee_ | 71.0 | 02:15 |
| ztomic | or just don't care | 02:15 |
| PeteOnline | ztomic: I tried networking, but it was like talking to a room full of statues | 02:15 |
| Galatea2 | that definitely isn't normal. | 02:15 |
| thor | ToddEDM: you should use the same driver you are using on the desktop | 02:15 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: is RAID a bad idea? | 02:15 |
| Hanyou | danbhfive: Do you know how to disable a piece of hardware on gutsy? I have been looking in support docs and haven't found crap. | 02:15 |
| scott__ | When I open menu.1st it opens read only. Who do I get it to open as a read write? | 02:15 |
| pabix | Hello.. in which file should I define my EDITOR variable? | 02:15 |
| scguy318 | scott___: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 02:16 |
| ToddEDM | thor: gimme an example of yours | 02:16 |
| pabix | scott__, sudo ? | 02:16 |
| neko | how do i set off definitvly the bell ? | 02:16 |
| neko | it beep on my computer | 02:16 |
| scott__ | thanks. I was opening from GUI | 02:16 |
| neko | and it is annoying | 02:16 |
| pabix | neko, System>Preferences>Sound ? | 02:16 |
| thor | ToddEDM: my printer is a canon pixma ip90...I use the driver for the iP2000 since there isn't one for the ip90 | 02:16 |
| neko | cool | 02:16 |
| ToddEDM | oops i was meaning the Dvice U | 02:17 |
| ToddEDM | RL | 02:17 |
| neko | thanks pabix | 02:17 |
| ToddEDM | URI | 02:17 |
| Galatea2 | it seems as if ubuntu doesn't want me to network the two computers together | 02:17 |
| pabix | neko, welcome | 02:17 |
| thor | oh...my device url is smb://192.168.0.xx/iP90 | 02:17 |
| Assid | anyone here got avalaunch working? | 02:17 |
| thor | ToddEDM: in samba on the server I called the printer iP90 | 02:17 |
| danbhfive | vee_ i dunno, it sounds like a pain :) | 02:18 |
| ste-foy | \\|// | 02:18 |
| ste-foy | {ö/ö} | 02:18 |
| Galatea2 | anyone with another idea? | 02:18 |
| thor | ToddEDM: just curious...did you install swat with samba? | 02:18 |
| danbhfive | hanyou: no i don't, im google'ing, have you tried ifdown? | 02:18 |
| ToddEDM | thor: no | 02:18 |
| thor | ToddEDM: do yourself a favour...install swat | 02:18 |
| neko | galatea2 | 02:19 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: so whast the best way to set up Linux so that it mirrors certain info two a second internal HD | 02:19 |
| neko | you want to make samba network with them ? | 02:19 |
| ToddEDM | hold on , im trying to figure out my URI | 02:19 |
| Galatea2 | yes | 02:19 |
| Galatea2 | i've done that | 02:19 |
| Galatea2 | and i've transferred files between the two computers on several occasions | 02:19 |
| neko | how the two computer get their IP ? | 02:19 |
| neko | oh it have work in the past but no more now ? | 02:20 |
| Galatea2 | this computer has an ip set up of 192.168.2.1 | 02:20 |
| Galatea2 | yes | 02:20 |
| Assid | man the live cd should use anti aliasing | 02:20 |
| neko | the other one ? | 02:20 |
| Galatea2 | and the other connects via "roaming mode" | 02:20 |
| Assid | anyone know where i can change this setting? | 02:20 |
| Assid | the fonts look too crappy | 02:20 |
| neko | check with ifconfig it they are in the same network | 02:20 |
| Galatea2 | which worked extremely well until an hour ago | 02:20 |
| Galatea2 | eth0 is not assigned an ip | 02:21 |
| Galatea2 | there's something ghostly called eth0:avah | 02:21 |
| neko | okey 1 have an ip the other have none | 02:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ToddEDM: I used this link... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282096 | 02:21 |
| Galatea2 | which has an IP, but exists on a different subnet | 02:21 |
| K_Dallas | Sorry to ask this but where could i find a background/wallpaper which is pretty representative of ubuntu's spirit? (something like the picture on the CD jackets). Need this for a presentation, thank you | 02:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K_Dallas: gnome-look.org | 02:22 |
| Galatea2 | K_Dallas: try google images | 02:22 |
| K_Dallas | thank you both | 02:22 |
| thor | ToddEDM: if you can't figure out the printer name....you can find it easy wth swat | 02:22 |
| danbhfive | hanyou: for network devices, it looks like you could just use the gui under System > Administration > Network | 02:22 |
| K_Dallas | Galatea2, google images is frustrating, most of the time | 02:22 |
| ToddEDM | ok | 02:22 |
| neko | okey so your main problem is that one of your computer is no more in your network ? | 02:22 |
| Galatea2 | i decided to insult ubuntu by placing the leopard-beta "grass" desktop | 02:22 |
| cvd | its there away to to open with wine a .exe after double-click and not right-click open with wine? this what appear when i do a double-click .exe http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/5f8c9bb26f.png | 02:22 |
| Galatea2 | yes, that's the problem neko | 02:22 |
| Galatea2 | they're not "communicating" with each other | 02:23 |
| Assid | anyone? | 02:23 |
| sfears | why is fileserver trying to send me Fedora 8 so badly? | 02:23 |
| kelsin | K_Dallas: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official that can help, not backgrounds, but logos and stuff | 02:23 |
| neko | first you really need to have your two computer in the same network | 02:23 |
| K_Dallas | thanks kelsin | 02:23 |
| neko | what the problem with the one that get no IP ? | 02:23 |
| danbhfive | vee_: sorry, i have never done raid myself, i personally just backup as i need to, but its really not that secure the way i do it | 02:23 |
| Galatea2 | the problem is it's running ubuntu | 02:24 |
| sfears | problem indeed | 02:24 |
| thor | ToddEDM: the other way to find the printer name is to look in the samba config file...but since I discovered swat I have never looked there...so don't even remember where to find it | 02:24 |
| danbhfive | vee_: in fact, i don't know much about backing up in ubuntu | 02:24 |
| Assid | how do i change the anti aliasing of the screen? | 02:24 |
| neko | I know only two way to assign IP | 02:24 |
| Galatea2 | Assid: go to system>preference>appearance>fonts | 02:24 |
| neko | by hand | 02:24 |
| ToddEDM | ok i got swat... how do i open it | 02:24 |
| Galatea2 | yeah, by hand it doesn't work | 02:24 |
| neko | or with a dhcp | 02:24 |
| Galatea2 | and that doesn't work either | 02:24 |
| danbhfive | vee_: I did move /home to a certain partition, which is kinda a backup proceedure | 02:24 |
| sfears | in appearance prefs Assid? under fonts | 02:24 |
| thor | ToddEDM: you installed swat on the desktop, right? | 02:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cvd: Have you looked at thunar file manager... | 02:25 |
| Galatea2 | something went bad with /etc/network/interface | 02:25 |
| ToddEDM | both | 02:25 |
| neko | the net interface is wifi ? | 02:25 |
| Galatea2 | and I have no idea how to fix it | 02:25 |
| neko | on the computer that have the problem | 02:25 |
| Galatea2 | no, its with a physical hardware link | 02:25 |
| thor | ToddEDM: ok..on the laptop open a browser tab and for an address type 'ipaddress:901' the ipaddress of the desktop | 02:25 |
| cvd | thunar? | 02:25 |
| Assid | thanks | 02:25 |
| Galatea2 | they're both connected though car5 | 02:25 |
| Galatea2 | cat5* | 02:25 |
| Galatea2 | through* | 02:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cvd: Yes, like nautilus, but smaller and lighter | 02:25 |
| Galatea2 | wifi works great | 02:25 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: if it means avoiding headaches and trying to get thing to work right, I can have just two HDs and some sort of app that backs up when asked - does this sound like the better way to do it? | 02:25 |
| Galatea2 | but its slow and the packet loss is substantial because the computer is in the backyard | 02:26 |
| sfears | you have a computer in the backyard too? | 02:26 |
| thor | ToddEDM: did swat open or do we need to restart xinetd again? | 02:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | vee_: one line in a cli will backup for you | 02:26 |
| Galatea2 | yeah | 02:26 |
| cvd | i like gnome, .exe worked before, but now i dont know what happend i wont open with wine automatically | 02:26 |
| ToddEDM | restart | 02:26 |
| Galatea2 | i use it for timemachine and what not | 02:26 |
| vee_ | Jack_Sparrow: please enlighten me! | 02:26 |
| sfears | just playin... | 02:26 |
| thor | ToddEDM: sudo /usr/sbin/xinetd restart | 02:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | vee_: you can install thunar with synaptic, aptitude or apt-get | 02:27 |
| danbhfive | vee_: well, as a fellow noob to this stuff, yes :P | 02:27 |
| Galatea2 | its actually my old computer which i gave to my rents because apparently ubuntu is easy to use | 02:27 |
| thor | ToddEDM: on the desktop | 02:27 |
| thor | ToddEDM: then refresh the browser page and see if swat loads (I hope) | 02:27 |
| danbhfive | vee_: i mean, if it aint working, and you can live without it, why bother, this is just MHO | 02:27 |
| Galatea2 | but, upon reflection, it's starting to be (un) good | 02:27 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: completely new to this stuff and want to make it easy yet efficient | 02:28 |
| Galatea2 | okay, i may as well transfer files though the sneakernet | 02:28 |
| ToddEDM | :( nope thor | 02:28 |
| Galatea2 | this is ridiculous | 02:28 |
| Galatea2 | thanks, bye. | 02:28 |
| neko | ? | 02:28 |
| danbhfive | vee_: yeah, if you are new, i would say, forget raid for now | 02:28 |
| thor | ToddEDM: ok...you will have to take a look at the samba config. Research swat on ubuntu later...it is worth the trouble | 02:28 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: i hear ya - just need the machine to serve as a LAMP and file server | 02:28 |
| thor | ToddEDM: let me see if I can find the samba config | 02:29 |
| lashmoove | whats the equivalent command to use in ubuntu to chkdsk.. in windows i would "chkdsk g: /f" to fix a currupt drive.. but, how to do that in ubuntu ? | 02:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | vee_: raid is not worth the effort... | 02:29 |
| danbhfive | vee_: i think raid is something thats a bit involved to setup, ie, get linux to recognize it on bootup | 02:29 |
| vee_ | Jack_Sparrow: whats that line you mentioned or app? | 02:29 |
| neko | fsck | 02:29 |
| peacho | I need help getting Internet Time working right in Ubuntu 7.10. Can anyone help me? | 02:29 |
| neko | lashmoove | 02:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | vee_: thunar file manager... install with synaptic or apt-get or aptitude | 02:29 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: yea, at the moment I installed the server addition and now it wont boot at all from the HD | 02:30 |
| soldats | thunar us a really great file manager | 02:30 |
| netsrot | how do I turn off updatedb autorunning? | 02:30 |
| thor | ToddEDM: ok.../etc/samba/smb.conf | 02:30 |
| robdig | peacho: whats going on? | 02:30 |
| thor | ToddEDM: on the desktop...in a terminal type 'less /etc/samba/smb.conf' | 02:30 |
| user_ | how to check size of /home/user/ ? i want to do backup of it | 02:30 |
| |muelli| | hm netsrot. good question. I'd look in /etc/cron.d/ | 02:30 |
| thor | ToddEDM: you familiar with 'less'? | 02:30 |
| vee_ | Jack_Sparrow thanx so much | 02:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 02:30 |
| ToddEDM | haha not at all thor | 02:31 |
| |muelli| | user_: try a "du -hs" in your directory | 02:31 |
| === |muelli| is now known as Muelli | ||
| peacho | When I open Time and Date Settings and change Configuration from Manual to "Keep Synchronized with Internet Servers" it tells me I must install NTP support. | 02:31 |
| danbhfive | netstrot: System > Preferences > Sessions | 02:31 |
| thor | ToddEDM: it just lets you see the file...not edit it. Page down by hitting the spacebar, and back with the 'b' key | 02:31 |
| user_ | thanks | 02:31 |
| ToddEDM | k | 02:31 |
| thor | ToddEDM: look for the definition for the shared printer...the name you need is the name on the left side in square brackets [iP90] | 02:32 |
| neko | user_ you can also | 02:32 |
| peacho | If I click Install, it sits there for a little while and then it doesn't seem to fix anything. | 02:32 |
| neko | right click on nautilus | 02:32 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: what did you pick (when installing) when it came to partioning? I think I am going to reinstall after I tell the BIOS to stop the RAID 1 and switch them both to act like IDE | 02:32 |
| ArthurArchnix | kelsin: You know what it was? your second comment there started me looking through synaptic. The thing is I wanted ess, but when I selected that it installed emacs 21 as the dependency. Emacs 22's font rendering is fine, and is also available in the repository. As is the snapshots you mentioned. Now to see if ess is working with 22, and then if I can uninstall 21 without apt also removing ess. Sigh... :) | 02:32 |
| user_ | neko, yes? | 02:32 |
| robdig | peacho: yes, you need NTP to sync. you can get it by typing in a terminal apt-get install ntp | 02:32 |
| thor | ToddEDM: there should be a line in that section with the 'printer name=' | 02:32 |
| neko | for check a size of a folder | 02:32 |
| kelsin | ArthurArchnix: yeah it can be slightly odd, but even if you have to remove all then install the snapshot package first, then the ess package you should be ok | 02:33 |
| Assid | hrmm.. stupid network isnt going on wifi | 02:33 |
| Assid | not in live cd mode atleast | 02:33 |
| neko | the right click > properties | 02:33 |
| neko | give you this info also | 02:33 |
| neko | in nautilus | 02:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | kelsin: Indeed. Well, thanks for the tips and such. | 02:33 |
| kelsin | ArthurArchnix: np | 02:33 |
| f3d | Allo | 02:34 |
| danbhfive | vee_ well, I have 3 partitions i believe, swap, /home, and / | 02:34 |
| danbhfive | vee_ i use this as a desktop, and a hobby developement server with apache/php | 02:34 |
| ToddEDM | i see [printers] and [print$] thor | 02:34 |
| user_ | i got problem with printing on ubuntu, the shared printer is on windows xp sp2, so sometime after print a lot of pages, then i can not do print, it's like the ubuntu not send print job to the XP, even i already restart the CUPS service (/etc/init.d/cupsys restart) the printer still no respond. Why that happen? | 02:35 |
| thor | ToddEDM: right and you should also see a section where you defined the printer for sharing | 02:35 |
| user_ | should i upgrade my feisty (7.04) to 7.10 to solve this problem ? | 02:35 |
| user_ | neko, thanks | 02:35 |
| ToddEDM | hold on | 02:35 |
| thor | ToddEDM it may be you never added the printer? | 02:35 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: so new that im not sure what the difference is between the three . I have 2 SATA 500 Gb HDDs | 02:36 |
| ToddEDM2 | ok thor, im on the desktop | 02:36 |
| user_ | does anyone here ever got same problem like me ? or you guys, have no problem with it | 02:36 |
| peacho | robdig: when I try to install this I get the following error: Package ntp is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 02:37 |
| peacho | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 02:37 |
| peacho | is only available from another source | 02:37 |
| peacho | E: Package ntp has no installation candidate | 02:37 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: i imagine home/ is for the OS | 02:37 |
| thor | ToddEDM right...and looking at the smb.conf file, right? | 02:37 |
| LiMaO | user_: what problem are you having? | 02:37 |
| danbhfive | vee_ /home is for the user | 02:37 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: not sure what swap is | 02:37 |
| danbhfive | vee_ whats this for? | 02:37 |
| robdig | peacho: let me double check the name... | 02:37 |
| danbhfive | vee_ how much ram do you have? | 02:37 |
| ToddEDM | etc/samba/smb.conf | 02:37 |
| peacho | ok | 02:37 |
| user_ | LiMaO, sometime i can not print document to shared printer on xp :( | 02:37 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: Remote and LAN file server and a LAMP test box | 02:37 |
| thor | ToddEDM right. And you didn't edit this file at all, right? | 02:37 |
| danbhfive | ok | 02:38 |
| danbhfive | ram? | 02:38 |
| user_ | i just wonder does cups or smbfs have problem about stability connecting to windows xp shared printer | 02:38 |
| vee_ | 4 gigs | 02:38 |
| user_ | is there any issue about this? | 02:38 |
| ToddEDM2 | thor: im logged on as myself on the desktop right now... and i cant even get to lok at smb.conf | 02:38 |
| danbhfive | vee_ ok, forget about swap i think | 02:39 |
| thor | ToddEDM you probably need to do an 'sudo less /etc/samba/smb.conf' | 02:39 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: 2 ghz core 2 duo | 02:39 |
| danbhfive | vee_ especially if its only you using it | 02:39 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: swap is like using HD for RAM? | 02:39 |
| danbhfive | you will never need swap | 02:39 |
| danbhfive | ya | 02:39 |
| vee_ | kewl | 02:39 |
| vee_ | im sure i have to assign some space to it, right? | 02:39 |
| danbhfive | no | 02:40 |
| robdig | peacho: yup, ntp is the package name. you might need to check that your sources are correct...system->administration->software sources and make sure all of the repositories are checked | 02:40 |
| thor | ToddEDM did that work? | 02:40 |
| user_ | is there any software to restore deleted file on ubuntu ? | 02:40 |
| ToddEDM2 | CUPS printing. See also the cupsaddsmb(8) manpage in the | 02:40 |
| ToddEDM2 | # cupsys-client package. | 02:40 |
| ToddEDM2 | ; printing = cups | 02:40 |
| ToddEDM2 | ; printcap name = cups | 02:40 |
| jakomo | oijojoijoij | 02:41 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: I am going to erase my RAID and begin reinstalling, whe I get to partioning, I am going to ask what I should do - is that ok? | 02:41 |
| thor | ToddEDM I don't think that will work...but try using the name cups in the url on the laptop | 02:41 |
| Cabbage | Under Gutsy, mplayer when using xv only shows green when playing videos. X11 is too slow to really use as an alternative. Ideas? | 02:41 |
| thor | ToddEDM you remember where that is? | 02:42 |
| peacho | @robdig: Okay, so I'm on the Software Sources page and the only thing I see checked on the Ubuntu Software tabbed is Installable from CD/DVD. I take it I want to check all the "Downloadable from the Internet" boxes? | 02:42 |
| danbhfive | vee_ I think there is an option to have ubuntu figure out the partitioning for you | 02:42 |
| danbhfive | vee_ might as well start there | 02:42 |
| reallyjoel | is it possible to change my screen resolution to something custom thats not listed in the app for screen res. | 02:42 |
| danbhfive | vee_ you can change it later with gparted, and not loose your information | 02:42 |
| ToddEDM | on the cups page on the browser | 02:42 |
| ToddEDM | ? | 02:42 |
| ToddEDM | ? | 02:42 |
| robdig | peacho: yup | 02:42 |
| thor | right | 02:42 |
| keen101 | is there a way to "steal" the window manager from kde? | 02:42 |
| wday | Hello I tried searching forums but couldn't find an answer - I installed vim-latexsuite using apt-get, but when I open a .tex file with gvim it doesn't load latexsuite | 02:43 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: yes, the first option. going to erase the RAID 1 and resey the HDs to function as IDEs first | 02:43 |
| Assid | dont get why linux always uses only 60 hz for its screens for lcd's | 02:43 |
| Assid | and not 72/75 if the hardware supports it | 02:43 |
| danbhfive | vee_ yeah, in the bios | 02:43 |
| danbhfive | user_ you could try e2undel | 02:44 |
| mEck0 | I thinking of buying a new soundcard. I've read that some people recommend m-audio and other brands instead of Creative's soundcards, because they says they have better sound quality and so on. I want it to give me very nice and clear sound for music listening, in movies and games. kind of an allround-card. is it a creative card I should buy? | 02:44 |
| peacho | I guess that explains why I couldn't install programs from Add/Remove Programs either! | 02:44 |
| Assid | anyone here using X and have configured it to use 72/75hz for the video instead of 60 for LCD's ? | 02:44 |
| loca|host | !alsa | 02:44 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 02:44 |
| loca|host | !sound | 02:44 |
| robdig | peacho: probably so | 02:44 |
| LiMaO | Assid: i may use 75hz if i want | 02:44 |
| danbhfive | Assid are you sure your lcd can go that high? | 02:44 |
| keen101 | can the window manager be used in gnome? (ie. different wallpaper for each desktop) | 02:44 |
| Assid | LiMaO: yeah it used to on win | 02:44 |
| reallyjoel | The Screen Resolution app in system->preferences (in gnome) doesnt list the correct resolutions for my screen (its widescreen), so can i set it in another way? | 02:45 |
| keen101 | (from kde) | 02:45 |
| danbhfive | Assid are you using nvidia? | 02:45 |
| LiMaO | Assid: i mean it works for me under linux | 02:45 |
| Assid | dont remember if it was 72/75 | 02:45 |
| Peppery | Hi, I'm running Apache 2 on Ubuntu Server 7.10 and I'm having problems trying to get it to execute cgi/perl scripts. I had this problem before and fixed it somehow. Does anyone know how I can fix it? | 02:45 |
| Assid | danbhfive: nah, ati radeon 9000 mobility | 02:45 |
| LiMaO | Assid: have you properly configured your monitor horizontal and vertical frequency ranges in xorg.conf ? | 02:45 |
| Assid | its a dell d600 latptop | 02:45 |
| danbhfive | reallyjoel are you using an nvidia? | 02:45 |
| Assid | LiMaO: just reinstalling (changing from kubuntu to ubuntu) | 02:45 |
| reallyjoel | danbhfive, yes, 6800gt | 02:46 |
| LiMaO | Assid: also, if you go to System > Preferences > Screen Resolution, can't you change it there? | 02:46 |
| Assid | LiMaO: live cd shows me only 60hz | 02:46 |
| LiMaO | Assid: mine shows 50hz and 51hz.. if i choose 50, it'll work at 60hz, if i choose 51 it'll work at 75hz | 02:46 |
| ThePirateRedBear | I was wondering just yesterday if there would ever be a day that I will be so smart that I can edit xorg.conf and know what I'm doing. | 02:46 |
| thor | ToddEDM I once told a friend that I liked linux because it allows one to rediscover the joy of getting a printer to print 'hello' | 02:47 |
| ToddEDM2 | thor i dont know wtf is wrong with this | 02:47 |
| keen101 | LiMaO, try using the alternate install CD. | 02:47 |
| Assid | hrmm no such thing here | 02:47 |
| danbhfive | reallyjoel the nvidia drivers have a bug which scrambles the refresh rate listings, that might be your problem | 02:47 |
| LiMaO | keen101: uh? i don't need it. i have a working system =P | 02:47 |
| thor | ToddEDM2:whats the matter? won't it take cups? | 02:47 |
| danbhfive | anyone know how to make a suggestion for ubotu? | 02:47 |
| peacho | robdig: It's installing now... :) | 02:47 |
| keen101 | oh. well, it gives you more options... | 02:47 |
| ToddEDM | its not doin anything | 02:48 |
| reallyjoel | danbhfive, well if that bug spills over to screen resolutions, but the refresh rate works fine | 02:48 |
| Peppery | anyone? | 02:48 |
| robdig | peacho: excellent | 02:48 |
| danbhfive | no, i think its just refresh rates | 02:48 |
| reallyjoel | danbhfive, SHOULD 'Screen Resolution' app list widescreen res's? | 02:48 |
| thor | ToddEDM here's the thing...you have almost everything right...but you don't have th eprinter shared via samba yet...that is where swat comes in. If you aren't too discouraged I can help you get that...we are close <smile> | 02:48 |
| Assid | reallyjoel: it should honestluy | 02:48 |
| Assid | widescreen is getting to be a norm now | 02:49 |
| peacho | robdig; It just finished and now works fine. Thanks for your help. | 02:49 |
| robdig | peacho: no prob, have a great evening | 02:49 |
| reallyjoel | I mean, not should as in usability, but as in how its made currently | 02:49 |
| thor | ToddEDM I am looking at this howto....http://linuxtnt.wordpress.com/2007/08/12/starting-swat-on-ubuntu/ | 02:49 |
| blackvd | I have a quick question here, when i use nvidia-settings to switch my screen from my laptop to my TV, How do I switch it back without restarting X? | 02:49 |
| danbhfive | reallyjoel are you switching monitors by chance? | 02:49 |
| ToddEDM | i am very discouraged ... lemme have a look | 02:49 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: you need to install one more thing according to that.... | 02:49 |
| wday | If anyone else has this problem, it's a known bug see bug #137205 | 02:50 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: do 'sudo apt-get install netkit-inetd' on the desktop | 02:50 |
| reallyjoel | danbhfive, well yeah, but i switched gpu at the same time, from ati to nvidia, required an install of nvidia drivers and a reboot | 02:50 |
| ubuntu | hello | 02:50 |
| danbhfive | reallyjoel anyway, you can use the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-org | 02:50 |
| reallyjoel | used the proprietary drivers app for that | 02:50 |
| danbhfive | reallyjoel yeah, you need to reconfigure every time you switch monitors | 02:51 |
| reallyjoel | danbhfive, is it scary? | 02:51 |
| danbhfive | i believe | 02:51 |
| ubuntu | do you spanish | 02:51 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: according to the howto that should enable swat | 02:51 |
| danbhfive | reallyjoel not if you know the specs of your monitor, which it sounds like you do | 02:51 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: my fault...I thought it was part of xinetd | 02:51 |
| ubuntu | help | 02:51 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: when we get swat running...it will make samba a snap to configure | 02:52 |
| danbhfive | !spanish | ubuntu | 02:52 |
| ubotu | ubuntu: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. | 02:52 |
| reallyjoel | danbhfive, It says "Package `xserver-org' is not installed..." but that sounds strange.. | 02:52 |
| billy | !Swahili | ubuntu | 02:52 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about swahili - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:52 |
| lashmoove | Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 - when usb drive plugged in | 02:53 |
| danbhfive | reallyjoel er, i don't know the package for sure, use tab complete | 02:53 |
| danbhfive | reallyjoel xserver-xorg ? | 02:53 |
| reallyjoel | danbhfive, hmm? | 02:54 |
| TigranG | Hey. I read somewhere about how Network Manager isnt that good, and there was an alternative. I forgot what the name was. IF anyone knows what I'm talking about, can you please tell me the name | 02:54 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: just checking in my ubuntu I don't see netkit-inetd | 02:55 |
| ToddEDM2 | ok i did sudo apt-get install swat | 02:56 |
| djezer | help, I lost my taskbar | 02:56 |
| ToddEDM2 | got it on both laptop and desktop | 02:56 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: ok...hang on a sec while I check for a better howto | 02:56 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: ok...I was right...it is xinetd...check this url....https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Swat | 02:56 |
| blkthndr | is there any way i can change the status of a hidden directory (windows hidden directory) in ubuntu? | 02:57 |
| electron | su - | 02:58 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: the line about restarting xinetd is outdated though...it is /usr/sbin/xinetd | 02:58 |
| robdig | djezer: do you still have one of them? | 02:58 |
| electron | n=eldt | 02:58 |
| electron | 190.154.56.58 | 02:58 |
| Taa5i | Hello. I'm attempting to install using a Xircom rbem56g cardbus ethernet adapter and network autoconfiguration will not assign it an IP. I know it is a functional card, I've used it before in other distros. ANy idea why it wouldn't work please? | 02:58 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: if you don't know how to use nano as an editor you can use gedit instead | 02:58 |
| electron | quit edit | 02:58 |
| ToddEDM2 | lol | 02:58 |
| blkthndr | I have a folder that windows reads as hidden, is there any way i can change this using ubuntu? | 02:59 |
| === recon is now known as reconnect | ||
| user_ | how to do clean uninstallation after i play enough with wine (apt-get install wine) ? i need to remove the software and all of wine configuration | 02:59 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: is that you slipping over the brink? | 02:59 |
| Hanyou | Hey, does anyone here know anything about Wine? Their IRC is kinda dead. | 02:59 |
| electron | del syetrbfbf | 02:59 |
| ToddEDM2 | ok i think im gonna scrap this little excesize of the mind... i will just email the shit to the desktop... seems quicker | 02:59 |
| electron | software | 02:59 |
| ToddEDM2 | yes thor | 02:59 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: if you get that one file created it should do the trick. | 02:59 |
| Acidfried | anyone know a decent dc++ client other than linux dc | 03:00 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: I am at the point Guided, but which one ; entire disk / entire disk and set up LVM / entire disk and set up encrypted LVM? then theres the first- resize (which is prolly what i dont want) and manual | 03:00 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: but if you want to let it go we can do that too. | 03:00 |
| === reconnect is now known as recon0 | ||
| thor | ToddEDM2: bookmark the howto so you can find it tomorrow | 03:00 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: when you access swat you will see what I meant...it makes samba SO easy | 03:01 |
| blkthndr | I have a folder that windows reads as hidden, is there any way i can change this using ubuntu? | 03:01 |
| danbhfive | vee_ dont you want the first? I don't know, I always have chosen manual :( | 03:01 |
| ToddEDM2 | thor.. i got the file made, how do i save it ? | 03:01 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: are you using nano? | 03:01 |
| ToddEDM2 | yup | 03:02 |
| danbhfive | vee_ if you choose manual, all you need to do is have at least one partition marked as / | 03:02 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: just hit control-X and it will prmpt if you want to save. Say yes and it will ask for the filename | 03:02 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: no..it already knows the filename <smile> | 03:02 |
| craigbass1976 | I've just read https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxwidgets2.8/+bug/68792 about amue crashing all the time when updating. What's the eta on a solution, anyone know? | 03:02 |
| vee_ | danbhfive choosing manual | 03:03 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: then 'sudo /usr/sbin/xinetd restart' | 03:03 |
| TigranG | Whats an alternative network manager than network-manager? | 03:03 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: then open the browser on the desktop and type 'localhost:901' for the url | 03:03 |
| djezer | robdig yeah, but some themes i installed crashed the window manager gnome and kde | 03:03 |
| Baumer | So Apparently I don't have the 3D accelerator or something installed correctly on ubuntu... how would I go about installing that for a integrated intel graphics card? | 03:03 |
| ToddEDM2 | :) | 03:04 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: did you get it? | 03:04 |
| djezer | i neede to find a way to open my themes settings from a command | 03:04 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: now i see Guided / Help partioneg below that are two SATA drives - one has a submenu | 03:04 |
| craigbass1976 | Is there another file sharing app that installs easily in Ubuntu? | 03:04 |
| vee_ | danbhfive # 1 primary and #5 logical | 03:04 |
| djezer | anyone know the program name so i can launch the themes manager in ubuntu | 03:04 |
| ToddEDM2 | yes thor | 03:04 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: on the printers tab.... | 03:05 |
| ToddEDM2 | no im logged into some samba page | 03:05 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: there is a drop down for Choose Printer | 03:05 |
| ToddEDM2 | ohh ok | 03:05 |
| danbhfive | vee_ mmk, are they partitioned? | 03:05 |
| danbhfive | vee_ how much do you know about partitioning? | 03:05 |
| vee_ | when it comes to linux - 0 | 03:05 |
| ToddEDM2 | you want me back in cups? | 03:05 |
| danbhfive | vee_ how about in windows? ie not linux? | 03:06 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: no...we need to define the printer in samba first | 03:06 |
| ToddEDM2 | ok | 03:06 |
| vee_ | windows an d mac - yes | 03:06 |
| user_ | i want to backup /home/user is this correct use this command: tar -czf user_backup.tar.gz /home/user | 03:06 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: win and mac yes | 03:06 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: in swat you should see eight icons at the top...if not then you didn't log in as an administrator | 03:06 |
| danbhfive | vee_ how would you partition in those cases | 03:06 |
| danbhfive | user_ probably not, i dont think that works | 03:06 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: there should be Home-globals-shares-printers-etc | 03:07 |
| ToddEDM2 | ok i didnt , i see 4 | 03:07 |
| user_ | danbhfive, what is the correct one? | 03:07 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: then close the page, open it again, and log in as an adminstrator | 03:07 |
| blkthndr | I have a folder that windows reads as hidden, is there any way i can change this using ubuntu? | 03:07 |
| danbhfive | vee_ i mean, im not sure if I know what you need, you could just format them both to ext3, set one to mount as / and the other to something like /media/other | 03:08 |
| vee_ | danbhfive most of the available space would go to data, if I have two or more drives I drop my data from one HD to another | 03:08 |
| ToddEDM2 | o i closed it, tried the other login/pass no go | 03:08 |
| ToddEDM2 | whats the administrators login/pass???? | 03:08 |
| danbhfive | user_ why are you backing up /home? | 03:08 |
| ztomic | blkthndr: why are you trying to do that? | 03:08 |
| Assid | man | 03:08 |
| Amendt | any ubuntu laptops in Canada? | 03:08 |
| Assid | this final release of ubuntu is messed up | 03:08 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: in ubuntu the admin is the first user you define...who was first when you installed on the desktop? | 03:09 |
| user_ | danbhfive, i want to backup /home/user , not /home | 03:09 |
| Assid | i dont get anything while the machine starts | 03:09 |
| blkthndr | its for my mp3 player | 03:09 |
| Assid | no loader or anything | 03:09 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: system then two partitions (equal in size but way bigger than system) for data | 03:09 |
| user_ | danbhfive, i want to re-install my ubuntu | 03:09 |
| user_ | danbhfive, upgrade it to 7.10 | 03:09 |
| ztomic | blkthndr: this is a foldaer that should not be hidden? | 03:09 |
| user_ | danbhfive, because right now i use 7.04 | 03:09 |
| PsyDeViL | hmm. can anyone suggest me what ubuntu version i should stick with. i have tried gutsy , feisty , on my desktop and they install by using safe graphics mode. However when i try to use edgy eft i can not boot into install. The system crashes and i hear a beep and screen goes black. (if any1 could shed some light on boot options to use with f6). The reason i am doing this is because my ati AGP card is not supported in fesity and gutsy. | 03:09 |
| blkthndr | yes it should not be hidden | 03:09 |
| ToddEDM2 | thor, i did that... gave me only 4 icons | 03:09 |
| Assid | err.. did someone screw up on the release? | 03:09 |
| ztomic | blkthndr: is it hidden in windows? | 03:09 |
| Assid | the loader is just dead | 03:10 |
| blkthndr | yes its hidden in windows, i dont have windows to change the status though | 03:10 |
| danbhfive | vee_ well, if you mount one drive as /, basically everything will go there | 03:10 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: then open a terminal....type 'passwd root' and give a password for root...I always do that when I first install for just these reasons | 03:10 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: I will be placing my Mac and Windows files on the data partitions as well | 03:10 |
| Taa5i | Hello. I'm attempting to install using a Xircom rbem56g cardbus ethernet adapter and network autoconfiguration will not assign it an IP. I know it is a functional card, I've used it before in other distros. ANy idea why it wouldn't work please? I really can't install without getting this working. :/ | 03:10 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: then log in with the user id 'root' and the password you just defined | 03:10 |
| pike_ | PsyDeViL: well.. if youre going to go with an older version have you considered dapper? its the long term support version | 03:10 |
| danbhfive | vee_ are you dual booting? or try booting? | 03:10 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: I have about five hours of notes about things to tell you....we need to continue this at another time <smile> (or via email) | 03:11 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: let me know when you are logged into swat as root | 03:11 |
| pike_ | PsyDeViL: id suggest you maybe just ebay the ati card though and buy a dirt cheap nvidia :) | 03:11 |
| ToddEDM2 | k | 03:12 |
| blkthndr | the problem is that because it is a windows hidden file, my mp3 player cannot read it. | 03:12 |
| danbhfive | user_ do you want to be able to restore the files? | 03:12 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: I would like one drive with a good size partition for system and apps, plus a much bigger portion for M and W data backup, while the other drive I want to store just M and W data | 03:12 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: you have eight icons now? | 03:12 |
| ToddEDM2 | yup | 03:12 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: the printers icon.... | 03:13 |
| ToddEDM2 | k | 03:13 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: i dont want to ever have a chance of messing up the system (ha) | 03:13 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: check the drop down list for Choose Printer and see if one is defined | 03:13 |
| danbhfive | vee_ but are you dual booting? i didnt think you were, are you talking about when you actually setup the ftp? | 03:13 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: is there anything besides 'printers'? | 03:13 |
| cry0k1n3t1c | Anybody know how to configure an ad hoc connection in gutsy? | 03:13 |
| ztomic | blkthndr: that dont make sense. Does your mp3 player work with Linux/Ubuntu? | 03:14 |
| slvmchn | i'm having a lot of trouble with this, i had hda/sda1 = windows, hda/sda2 = storage, and hda/sda5 = linux partition... i installed XP over the vista partition, but now grub doesn't load at all | 03:14 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: at this point no, in the future i will purchase a separate drive for that | 03:14 |
| slvmchn | before i was using grub to dual boot | 03:14 |
| ToddEDM2 | no just printers, and mine is listed | 03:14 |
| blkthndr | yes it works fine | 03:14 |
| danbhfive | user_ sudo rsync -aS /home/<user>/. /<backup location>/. | 03:14 |
| slvmchn | if i change the boot partition i can't get linux to load at all, and i can't get grub to set up right using a live cd | 03:14 |
| cry0k1n3t1c | slvmchn: When you install XP, it overwrites the MBR | 03:14 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: i really want this machine to be a server (another ha) | 03:14 |
| slvmchn | cry0k1n3t1c: i am aware of this | 03:14 |
| slvmchn | cry0k1n3t1c: how do i reset it | 03:14 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: what do yo mean yours is listed? Is there a printer there in the list? If so ....highlight it and click Choose Printer | 03:14 |
| danbhfive | vee_ then dont bother with partitioning much, you want to use ALL the space for linux | 03:15 |
| cry0k1n3t1c | slvchn: Did you try to reinstall GRUB from the live CD? | 03:15 |
| === matthew_ is now known as person | ||
| ToddEDM2 | ok i did that thor | 03:15 |
| blkthndr | i use rockbox firmware on my mp3 player, when i boot the mp3 players original firmware it makes the music folder hidden, rockbox cannot find the hidden music folder | 03:15 |
| ztomic | blkthndr: and copying the folder is unacceptable? | 03:15 |
| slvmchn | cry0k1n3t1c: yes but it gave me problems | 03:15 |
| thor | OK...the important ones.... | 03:15 |
| blkthndr | I could copy the folder but its a huge folder | 03:15 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: path = /var/spool/samba | 03:15 |
| danbhfive | vee_ linux will be holding the files for other OS's, in fact, at this point, it doesnt matter | 03:15 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: guest = ok | 03:15 |
| blkthndr | and the problem will create itself again in the future | 03:15 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: printable=yes | 03:15 |
| ztomic | blkthndr: I understand but it should be visible. | 03:15 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: printer name (write that down!) | 03:16 |
| danbhfive | o crap | 03:16 |
| danbhfive | is there an admin? | 03:16 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: browseable = yes | 03:16 |
| cry0k1n3t1c | So, is it even possible to set up an Ad Hoc connection between 2 ubuntu computers? | 03:16 |
| WorkingOnWise | any ideas y update manager cant fetch any repositories. eveythin comes back with a 404 error. I have a good network connection. | 03:16 |
| danbhfive | last time, i got banned from IRC for this | 03:16 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: available=yes | 03:16 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: ok, so should i click on each and partition the entire device | 03:16 |
| danbhfive | i think i may log off | 03:16 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: that's it | 03:16 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: what is the printer name? | 03:16 |
| ToddEDM2 | can i change the printer name? | 03:16 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: yup...if you want to | 03:16 |
| blkthndr | its visible to linux and ubuntu and a mac, rockbox does not see it becaues it is a windows hidden file. when i had windows i could just unhide it, i can't do this using ubuntu because its not hidden to it | 03:16 |
| slvmchn | cry0k1n3t1c: i found some forum posts that showed how to set grub back up, by looking for stage1 boot whatever, and then when i do setup hd(0,0) or whatever the command is it starts to work but then says Errorr 22 | 03:16 |
| ToddEDM2 | psc_1200_series is what it is | 03:16 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: make it whatever you like | 03:17 |
| danbhfive | vee_ yeah, just one big partition for now | 03:17 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: then click Commit Changes at the top (near the drop down list) | 03:17 |
| pike_ | cry0k1n3t1c: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc | 03:17 |
| vee_ | danbhfive: creating new partition tables for each right now | 03:17 |
| danbhfive | vee_ you should just get things up and running as close as you can to how you want | 03:17 |
| ToddEDM2 | ok done | 03:17 |
| danbhfive | vee_ you can worry about more fancy partitioning later | 03:17 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: now you should be able to define that printer in cups on the laptop | 03:18 |
| vee_ | danbhfive kewl | 03:18 |
| ToddEDM2 | ok | 03:18 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: you do remember the printer name I hope <smile> | 03:18 |
| ztomic | blkthndr: that's a predicament. | 03:18 |
| Taa5i | Why doesn't the ubuntu install cd come with ping?? It's really hard to try to diagnose network issues without it and/or traceroute.... | 03:18 |
| Kubala | hello word | 03:18 |
| blkthndr | there are ways around it so i can access my music, but i just want to know if the problem can be fixed | 03:18 |
| Kubala | hihi;] | 03:18 |
| Kubala | sleep now | 03:19 |
| Kubala | ; ] | 03:19 |
| ToddEDM2 | now i add printers , in cups on the laptop | 03:19 |
| ToddEDM2 | ? | 03:19 |
| Kubala | people; ] | 03:19 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: yup...you can add that printer in cups on the laptop | 03:19 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: smb://ipaddress/name | 03:19 |
| curfmans | anyone know how to put tibia on ubuntu | 03:20 |
| Taa5i | Also could someone point me towards a pcmcia ethernet card that's known to work with the installer? I'm using a xircom_cb one which fails. | 03:20 |
| ztomic | blkthndr: maybe you can be more specific. it does sound like a hardware issue that is solvable. | 03:20 |
| PsyDeViL | thanks pike just downloading dapper now | 03:20 |
| PsyDeViL | will give it a shot | 03:20 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: and use the same printer driver you are using in the desktop. If you don't remember it you can access cups on the desktop and look...just don't change it on the desktop as it is working | 03:20 |
| Assid | err.. wtf is wrong with the default live cd installation of ubuntu? | 03:20 |
| vee_ | danbhfive ok both say under there sub menus: pri/log 500.1 GB FREE SPACE, im clcking FINISH partitioning and write changes to disk | 03:20 |
| Assid | i dont see the loading progress bar | 03:20 |
| Assid | just a blank black while ubuntu loads | 03:20 |
| PsyDeViL | its just that i downloaded edgy livecd and it wont install. - the reason i am going to old version is so i can use my gfx card. | 03:21 |
| ztomic | but I'm at a loss as to why someone would hide a music folder. | 03:21 |
| Shadow147 | hey I need to get into just the command prompt | 03:21 |
| blkthndr | Its not a hardware issue. I'm just trying to change the hidden status of a folder, the problem is its a windows hidden folder and not a linux hidden folder | 03:21 |
| thor | Shadow147: just open a terminal | 03:21 |
| Taa5i | bloody useless channel.. | 03:21 |
| qwerty121 | Hi all! Which download manager is the best in Ubuntu? | 03:21 |
| Shadow147 | thor I need to stop gnome | 03:21 |
| thor | Shadow147: or press Alt-Ctrl-F2 | 03:22 |
| ztomic | blkthndr: there-in lies the problem | 03:22 |
| ToddEDM2 | lets hope this works.. wifey is home now | 03:22 |
| thor | Shadow147: A-C-F2 thru F6 | 03:22 |
| user_ | why some people suggest me to compress a folder with tar.gz (tar -czvf backup.tar.gz /var/www) insted using gzip /var/www so it return www.gz ?? | 03:22 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: keep the faith...everything is set...if it doesn't work it is a missing checkmark or some such...a very minor thing | 03:22 |
| user_ | what is the benefit using .tar insted gz ? | 03:22 |
| ToddEDM2 | didnt work ... i will try again later | 03:22 |
| Viper | I think .tar is just an archive, no compression. | 03:23 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: truly! I can't imagine why. Sorry | 03:23 |
| Viper | .tar.gz is compressed... I think that's how it works. | 03:23 |
| Chronosphear | is missing/broken gnome applets a common issue when dist-upgrading to gutsy? | 03:23 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: I am looking at mine as we work on this...it is set up just like mine | 03:23 |
| dude | . | 03:23 |
| erisco | I have a few .vcd's.. I know I looked up in the past of how to make these into iso's... I forget =\ anyone know? | 03:23 |
| user_ | Viper, so why not we just use .gz than .tar.gz ? | 03:23 |
| blkthndr | so there is no way I can change its hidden status without using windows? | 03:23 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: and it works...sort of <smile> | 03:23 |
| ztomic | blkthndr: perhaps linux would be able to read AMIGA floppy disks as well? Nope. aint gonna happen. | 03:23 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: spnye@yahoo.com if you want to follow up on this and other stuff | 03:24 |
| danbhfive | user_ gz is just compression, for a single file, tar binds several files together | 03:24 |
| thor | ToddEDM2: tell wifey you worked REAL hard | 03:24 |
| erisco | I have a few .vcd's.. I know I looked up in the past of how to make these into iso's... I forget =\ anyone know? | 03:24 |
| danbhfive | user_ i think you use them both to create an archive | 03:24 |
| === monkey_ is now known as monTree | ||
| ztomic | slightly different problem but none-the-less... it aint gonna happen. | 03:24 |
| danbhfive | user_ but you should use the command I have you for /home | 03:24 |
| user_ | danbhfive, so can not to gzip /var/www is that what you mean? | 03:24 |
| user_ | danbhfive, so i must tar it first | 03:24 |
| danbhfive | user_ i think thats the case | 03:25 |
| user_ | danbhfive, then compress it, example use gz | 03:25 |
| qwerty121 | hi all! which download manager is best for Ubuntu? | 03:25 |
| user_ | danbhfive, ok thanks | 03:25 |
| danbhfive | user_ tar can gzip it for you, just add a z directive, i believe | 03:25 |
| Viper | qwerty: I use firefox's built-in one, or flashget... | 03:25 |
| qwerty121 | Viper: does flashget support resume? | 03:25 |
| Viper | qwerty: yup, as long as the server does. | 03:26 |
| Chronosphear | is missing/broken gnome applets a common issue when dist-upgrading to gutsy? | 03:26 |
| ztomic | blkthndr: try googling it. | 03:26 |
| Viper | user_: tar -xzf /path/to/directory/to/compress | 03:26 |
| dude | why hasnt everyone just switched to *bsd yet? | 03:26 |
| dude | :P | 03:26 |
| WorkingOnWise | any ideas y update manager cant fetch any repositories. eveything comes back with a 404 error. I have a good network connection. | 03:26 |
| user_ | yes.. thanks | 03:26 |
| Viper | tar -z tells the tar application to use a foreign compression app. | 03:26 |
| ztomic | dude: huh? | 03:26 |
| danbhfive | Chronosphear, i have broken applets for a similar upgrade | 03:26 |
| user_ | Viper, x is for extract | 03:27 |
| qwerty121 | Viper: thanks | 03:27 |
| Chronosphear | some work, most don't? | 03:27 |
| Viper | oh... same diff... lol tar -cz then | 03:27 |
| user_ | Viper, i think it should tar czvf | 03:27 |
| blkthndr | i've tried googling with no help for a couple days, as well as trying the support forums and irc of rockbox | 03:27 |
| user_ | Viper, yes.. or the simple one is cz | 03:27 |
| ztomic | dude: I can think of 12 reasons right now, and I could probably think of more. | 03:27 |
| Viper | I rarely find myself compressing files, decompressing is much more common for me... | 03:27 |
| danbhfive | Chronosphear did you use the update manager? or did you use the cli? | 03:27 |
| Chronosphear | update manager and then the cli because update manager only did half tho job | 03:28 |
| Chronosphear | the* | 03:28 |
| danbhfive | heh, that sucks | 03:28 |
| Viper | Has anyone experience with an add-on PCI SATA raid card in Ubuntu?> | 03:28 |
| Chronosphear | danbhfive, yeah, i rebooted thinking it was sorted and logged into a bash prompt with no window manager | 03:28 |
| danbhfive | in the past, cli doesn't fully work, i don't think | 03:29 |
| CGI074 | yes Viper | 03:29 |
| ztomic | 20 reasons not to switch to BSD: | 03:29 |
| danbhfive | you have to re-run the upgrade commands several times | 03:29 |
| === CGI074 is now known as r3wt1nth3b0x | ||
| ztomic | 1) you like Windows or linux. | 03:29 |
| Chronosphear | danbhfive, i'll give that a go then | 03:29 |
| Viper | rwrandomnessb0x: Any luck, and if so, which make/model? | 03:29 |
| ztomic | 2) you play games that were made for Windows. | 03:29 |
| ztomic | 3) BSD is hard to install | 03:30 |
| Chronosphear | danbhfive, ah nah, it's convinced there's nothing to do now | 03:30 |
| r3wt1nth3b0x | Viper, it was a adaptec i think. | 03:30 |
| r3wt1nth3b0x | Works great. | 03:30 |
| danbhfive | Chronosphear i can give you some suggestions, to check it | 03:30 |
| Chronosphear | danbhfive, sure | 03:30 |

| scguy318 | ztomic: and really it depends on your OS taste | 03:31 |
| Viper | r3w: And you didn't have any issues with MDADM? | 03:31 |
| ztomic | 4) Wine is pain in the arse | 03:31 |
| danbhfive | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ | 03:31 |

| Chronosphear | oh, meta package | 03:32 |
| ztomic | 5) You work with Windows at work and don't care about BSD. | 03:32 |
| danbhfive | vee_ did you set one of the partitions to / ? | 03:32 |
| r3wt1nth3b0x | Viper why would you be using MDADM with hardware RAID? | 03:32 |

| Chronosphear | can't see it being that tho | 03:33 |
| ztomic | 6) You have tried BSD in the past and you don't want to make that mistake again. But you tried OpenBSD just to be sure. | 03:33 |

| r00tintheb0x | okay Viper, what kind of array are you trying to create? | 03:54 |
| IamReck | Trevor_0017, double click on the volume item | 03:54 |
| vee_ | danbhfive doesnt give me media in the list so i entered it manually | 03:54 |
| danbhfive | vee_ /home is good for reinstalling linux, but that can come when you are more familiar with this stuff | 03:54 |
| Trevor_0017 | kk, it's loading | 03:54 |
| danbhfive | vee_ thats fine | 03:54 |
| Viper | raid-1 | 03:54 |

| vee_ | danbhfive thanx for the patience | 03:54 |
| IamReck | it shouldn't have to load... but w.e..... make sure non of those items are muted | 03:54 |

| danbhfive | np | 03:55 |
| NemesisD | anyone know of the boot option for ubuntu to have it not check floppy drives? i'm setting up a persistent install of ubuntu on a USB drive and it works fine on this computer but i get a bunch of fd0 i/o errors on a computer without a floppy drive | 03:55 |
| IamReck | and turn the volume all the way up on all of them | 03:55 |
| r00tintheb0x | So you're building the RAID1 VIA teh BIOS on the card? | 03:55 |
| Assid | this sucks | 03:55 |
| grazz | ztomic, yeah, im having a lot of problems too | 03:55 |
| reportingsjr | How can I use more resolutions with my monitor? I tried changing the type but that ended up screwing it up. I've tried this monitor with a seperate computer and know I can get much larger resolutions, and the g card supports up to 2048 x 1536. Right now the highest is 1024x768 (ugh). Anyone have any clue what's wrong here? | 03:55 |

| IamReck | Trevor_0017, did it work? | 03:56 |
| Viper | I tried, but Linux wouldn't detect the RAID, it just picked up the two HDD's as seperate devices, so I disabled RAID on the card and it still didn't work. | 03:56 |

| Assid | okay seriously | 03:59 |
| Viper | So note for future ref... don't by SYBA! | 03:59 |
| JonathanPM | Trevor the reason you hear beeps is because of your internal speaker probably, try going to system preferences, sound, and set your sound servers to usb sound device at least if your pc has on board sound and not a sound card thats what worked for me | 03:59 |
| Assid | is there any wayone here who can help me on this | 03:59 |

| IamReck | Trevor I am trying to get the multi cube thing working. | 04:01 |
| danbhfive | vee_ can you ignore it? i don't think you need swap, but I could be wrong | 04:01 |
| WorkingOnWise | Chronosphear: I switched from "Main Server" to "Server for United States" in "Software Sources", and it is fine now. Any idea how I might have caused that problem? | 04:01 |
| IamReck | you need to have a swap partition | 04:01 |
| mohkohn | Which kernel is going into hardy heron? | 04:01 |
| danbhfive | vee_ heh, in fact, i had a problem where swap wasnt working for me, and i was fine | 04:01 |

| reportingsjr | JonathanPM: Yeah, I think I had an issue with nvidia not putting out a driver for ubuntu. | 04:04 |

| ferret_0567_ | I am having a problem where pressing the up arrow in an xterm or rxvt-unicode terminal does nothing | 04:04 |

| JonathanPM | cyntek trythis go system, preferences, sound, and then set all your sound servers to usb audio device | 04:09 |
| Cyntek | but shouldn't the latest release of ubunut detect it as default and automaticall be configured to start? | 04:09 |
| JonathanPM | see if that works | 04:09 |
| Viper | @ ferret, then I'm not sure, usually if you don't have bash running (don't have username@host:~$).... you won't have the handy 'up' key or the all-saving 'tab' autocomplete | 04:09 |

| Byro1 | Viper, yes its pluged in | 04:24 |
| Byro1 | my bios detected it | 04:24 |
| dns53 | vee_ it could be on the same server as your web server, you could get someone to host it for you, it does not matter | 04:24 |
| Assid | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/150930 | 04:24 |
| Assid | that bug is a pita | 04:24 |
| Viper | Byro: Try Gnome Partition Editor. That's a very useful utility. | 04:25 |
| webpirate | I formatted my laptop...and before the format Xine with xv would use abour 4 - 7% processor now it uses 35% any ideas? | 04:25 |
| underdog44 | hmmm, nobody has any experience with stunnel | 04:25 |
| usser | vee_, i do it with dyndns.com | 04:25 |
| pg | Byro1: can you hear it spinning and does Windows detect it? | 04:25 |
| dns53 | webpirate: you do not need to ask permission to ask a question | 04:25 |
| Assid | why cant they fix that | 04:25 |
| Viper | Bryo: That'll let you easilly see if linux can see it. | 04:25 |
| vee_ | dns53 if I Sign up for Dynamic DNS forwarding with one of those free sites will there still be a need for it- or should i just install it just to be sure | 04:25 |
| vee_ | usser thats what i was thinking | 04:25 |
| alejandro | Printing is too small, what can i do to fix it? | 04:25 |
| usser | webpirate, do u have restricted graphics drivers installed | 04:25 |
| IamReck | f | 04:25 |
| === alejandro is now known as Alejandr0 | ||
| webpirate | yes...drivers are all installes correctly.. | 04:25 |
| webpirate | video shows up perfect just uses lots of CPU power | 04:26 |
| Alejandr0 | /msg NickServ IDENTIFY hadita | 04:26 |
| dns53 | vee_: dynamic dns should be enough, you don't need one yourself as long as there is a server somwhere that knows your ip | 04:26 |
| Byro1 | pg: seems to be spinning, but its hard to say (i've already got another 2 in there) | 04:26 |
| mohkohn | While I am on the subject what is the kernel in Gutsy. I am 1:45 away from torrenting it now. | 04:26 |
| usser | vee_, yea its pretty decent and linux has a client script for it, many broadband routers also have built in client for dyndns | 04:26 |
| benhd2008 | hey does anyone know how to get a video edited from kino onto youtube. | 04:26 |
| vee_ | dns53 thanx | 04:26 |
| Alejandr0 | Printing is too small, what can i do to fix it? | 04:26 |
| webpirate | I was thinking that perhaps libdvdcss is using lots of power...does that happen? | 04:27 |
| mohkohn | +? [I need to learn to use punctuation and to enunciate my words!] | 04:27 |
| ferret_0567_ | webpirate: it could happen | 04:27 |
| webpirate | Export the video from Kino in mpeg2 format | 04:27 |
| usser | webpirate, dvdcss is not supposed to affect your non-dvd playback | 04:27 |
| benhd2008 | how do i convert a .dv file to .mpeg | 04:27 |
| dns53 | libdvdcss can be written in 6 lines, it does not do a lot of processing | 04:27 |
| usser | benhd2008, kino is capable of exporting to mpeg2 | 04:27 |
| usser | benhd2008, or u can use ffmpeg | 04:28 |
| webpirate | I will try a non encrypted dvd....brb | 04:28 |
| usser | benhd2008, or mencoder | 04:28 |
| benhd2008 | well yeah | 04:28 |
| benhd2008 | can that be uploaded to youtube | 04:28 |
| usser | benhd2008, or dozen of other tools | 04:28 |
| vee_ | usser yea, my Netgear has it | 04:28 |
| pg | Byro1: try gnome partition manager. Also try to detect it with Windows. If Windows detects it but Ubuntu does not, it could be missing the driver. Read the model number from the hard disk case and search for it on the Web. | 04:28 |
| bullgard4 | What is the purpose of an 'Ubuntu Hug Day'? | 04:28 |
| pg | How can I copy an Ubuntu installation from one disk to a larger one? | 04:28 |
| usser | vee_, so its the easiest solution i suppose | 04:28 |
| Byro1 | pg: ok thanks | 04:28 |
| scguy318 | pg: partimage, dd, etc. | 04:28 |
| vee_ | usser yea, why complicate things when you dont have to | 04:29 |
| usser | vee_, thats my motto :) | 04:29 |
| vee_ | usser ;) | 04:29 |
| webpirate | anyone have ubuntu on 1.6ghz sempron 64 and nvidia? whats your CPU during DVD playback? | 04:29 |
| Ashfire_Server | when i try to use traceroute all i get it some error about no space for the send buffer | 04:29 |
| underdog44 | ok, does anybody know another irc room where they might be able to help me | 04:29 |
| buggeredfstab | anyone here manage to get Mono installed on Gutsy? | 04:30 |
| Viper | webpirate: For a sempron.. I wouldn't expect very much performance.... it may take nearly the whole processor just to play a DVD. | 04:30 |
| webpirate | Non encrpyted DVD uses Still 35% cpu | 04:30 |
| webpirate | Any xorg tips I can use to lower processor usage? | 04:31 |
| dns53 | webpirate | 04:31 |
| ogrep | is there any emacs-cvs ubuntu repos? | 04:31 |
| webpirate | yup | 04:31 |
| pg | scguy318: I used dd from the original disk to a partition on another disk. The new disk had another version of Ubuntu installed on another partition, and I can't make it boot copied installation. | 04:31 |
| Alejandr0 | Printing is too small, what can i do to fix it? | 04:31 |
| dns53 | webpirate: do you have the nvidia binary drivers installed, they have some accelerated video rendering extentions | 04:32 |
| Assid | err.. next thing.. how come gnome/ubuntu doesnt have the backgrounds and stuff (retrieving on the fly) like how kubuntu/kde has? | 04:32 |
| Byro1 | pg: gparted keeps crashing and throws "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" | 04:32 |
| webpirate | Yes....Restricted drivers are installed... | 04:32 |
| Viper | webpirate: or perhaps a different CPU... maybe Athlon?... | 04:32 |
| webpirate | I have 1.6 ghz laptop with nvidia 420go | 04:32 |
| pg | Byro1: try parted, it's a command line tool. | 04:32 |
| webpirate | I used to get 4 - 7% on this laptop with xine...now after format its 35% | 04:33 |
| webpirate | video plays good..just lots of processor usage | 04:33 |
| ogrep | can I redefine this, ahem, f***ing Fn key to be Mod4? | 04:33 |
| Rian-Davide | hey does anyone know a good website to find broadcom drivers? | 04:33 |
| Assid | webpirate: you changed anything in between? like kubuntu-> ubuntu or the other way around? | 04:34 |
| webpirate | Rian-Davide...try different internet providers...sometimes that have the drivers | 04:34 |
| webpirate | No same basic setup | 04:34 |
| Rian-Davide | for linux? | 04:34 |
| Rian-Davide | like for the ndiswrapper? | 04:34 |
| pg | Rian-Davide: is it a wireless driver? | 04:34 |
| webpirate | would KDE use more Processer than gnome for DVD? | 04:34 |
| usser | webpirate, did u try to switch around video outputs | 04:34 |
| jake-the-dummy-o | where is /etc/init.d/iptables? what's the substitute? | 04:34 |
| usser | webpirate, to like openGL or x11 | 04:35 |
| webpirate | yes.....xv gives best results | 04:35 |
| * ogrep would spank the *engineer* who designs these stupid laptop keyboard. | 04:35 | |
| usser | webpirate, or xv | 04:35 |
| jake-the-dummy-o | any one any idea? | 04:35 |
| webpirate | openGl uses 100% | 04:35 |
| Viper | webpirate: the sempron is just a lower-end processor. 1.6GHz would be equilivant to a P4 600MHz in performance.... | 04:35 |
| Agent_bob | jake-the-dummy-o google quicktables | 04:35 |
| spikeb | untrue. | 04:35 |
| spikeb | semprons measure up well against p4's. | 04:35 |
| mEck0 | I think ipod nano (3rd gen) looks interesting, but wonder how it works in ubuntu? must I use itunes, does the players flashdisk shows up like a usb-dongle? | 04:35 |
| ogrep | Why do these people think they should relocate keys on a kb randomly?! | 04:36 |
| webpirate | WHAT...are you crazy....600mhz..... | 04:36 |
| Agent_bob | jake-the-dummy-o firestarter guarddog shorewall and friends. | 04:36 |
| soldats | mEck0, ipod dont need itunes to work | 04:36 |
| Viper | They measure up well against a celeron...because those are each company's lowbie CPU's. | 04:36 |
| webpirate | Semprons just have less ramon board.. | 04:36 |
| Viper | They were made for budget machines. | 04:36 |
| mEck0 | soldats, ok good | 04:36 |
| Rian-Davide | yes its a wireless driver | 04:36 |
| soldats | mEck0, you can use rythmbox, amarok or other to do ipod stuff | 04:36 |
| Rian-Davide | Im trying to use ndiswrapper | 04:37 |
| Viper | web: No, run a 1.6GHz sempron against a 1.2GHz Athlon XP, and the sempron will be blown away. | 04:37 |
| Agent_bob | jake-the-dummy-o every thing i've named are helper applications to help you setup iptables | 04:37 |
| webpirate | GKpod | 04:37 |
| mEck0 | soldats, aha thats nice :) | 04:37 |
| soldats | mEck0, good luck | 04:37 |
| mattgyver83 | Hi room, how can i configure ubuntu to recognize my pda when trying to hotsync via usb? | 04:37 |
| webpirate | Yes...but the guy was saying that a 600mhz intel was faster | 04:37 |
| Rian-Davide | its supposed to be a BCM4311 driver Im looking for I guess | 04:37 |
| Agent_bob | jake-the-dummy-o quicktables is a shell script :) | 04:37 |
| pg | Rian-Davide: it's best to search the web for your specific card model. Have you checked the UBuntu forums? There is a networking & wireless page that links to a wiki that shows which cards work. | 04:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !broadcom | 04:38 |
| ubotu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 04:38 |
| webpirate | I realize thst that the sempron 64 is a lower end CPU but its definnatly faster than intel 600mhz | 04:38 |
| Rian-Davide | thanks | 04:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 04:38 |
| codyman | i am running gutsy x64 off an external usb hd, if I go to /media there is a hd1 (my internal drive ntfs windows drive) in there and if I go in there, it tells the correct free space left on the drive, however, it shows no files in there... I have ntfs-3g installed along with the gui utility to use it and its setup... any ideas? | 04:38 |
| Viper | Not after you start multitasking apps on the sempron.... it just chokes and dies! | 04:38 |
| pg | Byro1: can Windows recognize the drive? | 04:39 |
| Viper | And I know that P4 doesn't go that low, but if a good CPU was running at low-speed power saving mode... | 04:39 |
| webpirate | You really have to try sempron....it's not bad at all... | 04:39 |
| Viper | I have tried them.... | 04:39 |

| zloog | Hi, what is the ubuntu way to upgrade the c/c++ compiler? | 04:40 |
| webpirate | well I was asking about playing a dvd and someone started smashing my 1.6ghz sempron 64 saying that it can't play dvd when my amd 333mhz could play them | 04:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webpirate... enough.. drop it | 04:41 |

| webpirate | so I am hoping that someone else noticed the same thing | 04:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kde eats more of my system than gnome | 04:43 |
| webpirate | I might log into gome and see it it uses less to play dvd... | 04:43 |
| Assid | Jack_Sparrow odd | 04:43 |
| webpirate | I wil come back and let you know | 04:44 |
| Assid | Jack_Sparrow: kde has alot of aplications that just make user experience easy too. like for example the simplest of them all.. when you change the background | 04:45 |
| Runningflame570 | How do I add another server with xchat? | 04:45 |
| Assid | kde has a nice interface that lets you get the backgrounds from online | 04:45 |
| usser | Assid, yea i agree that is a nice feature | 04:46 |
| Viper | KDE is much more user-friendly... but he's right, you pay a price for that 'prettiness' | 04:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Assid: this isnt the place for discussion...on gnome or kde... both have good and bad features | 04:46 |

| soldats | kelsin, oh well im in xubuntu and i dont have that option i guess i will just deal with it | 05:00 |
| webpirate | I also uninstalled KDM and still same results... | 05:00 |
| soldats | its the only thing i could never get to stop | 05:00 |
| webpirate | 35% - 50% CPU to play DVD | 05:00 |
| webpirate | yesterday it was 5 -7% | 05:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webpirate: what video card.. or is it onboard video | 05:00 |
| webpirate | Nvidia 420 go laptop | 05:01 |
| kelsin | soldats: you can still install gnome-power-manager and run it to set some power settings. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=344311 | 05:01 |
| kelsin | soldats: the OP in that thread is asking about something different, but still talks about installing gnome power manager in xubuntu | 05:01 |
| webpirate | I think I need to add something to my xorg.conf | 05:01 |
| webpirate | any ideas | 05:01 |
| webpirate | opengl and 3d work fine | 05:01 |
| soldats | kelsin, hmm i never thought of that i feel dumb now thanks i figured it should have come on install | 05:02 |
| qcode | Just upgrade my laptop to 2GB of RAM...love it | 05:02 |
| qcode | upgraded | 05:02 |
| kelsin | soldats: since it's not a xfce app, it makes sense it's not installed by default in xubuntu | 05:03 |
| BLT | Here's something that I find interesting - using the Gutsy live CD I get a higher resolution screen than the one I get after installing to the HD | 05:03 |
| webpirate | does xfce use lots of CPu? | 05:03 |
| webpirate | I might try it | 05:03 |
| soldats | kelsin, ahh i see now, thats wierd | 05:03 |
| soldats | thanks | 05:03 |
| soldats | for the link | 05:03 |
| qcode | webpirate: Much less then GNOME for sure | 05:03 |
| miyako | BLT: yeah, I ran into that, Gutsy seems to be really bad with X | 05:04 |
| === reportingsjr is now known as report|sleep | ||
| kelsin | soldats: but yeah, it doesn't stop you from installing any gnome app you want, for bits and pieces that xfce doesn't provide | 05:04 |
| corruptionoflulz | webpirate: i believe xfce is good because it's so easy on the resources. | 05:04 |
| webpirate | I should try it for DVD playback | 05:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BLT: from cli sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg add your refersh rates for your specific monitor | 05:04 |

| pianoboy3333 | can anyone help me get my logitech quickcam working, I've tried a lot of things but none seem to be working | 05:04 |
| webpirate | I mean 35% is not bad for DVD playback but I know that it can do better | 05:04 |
| BLT | miyako - so I tried to copy the xorg.conf that the live CD created and save it to the HD - but it didn't work after the reboot | 05:04 |

| corruptionoflulz | webpirate: you should be able to just use aptitude(i think) and dl xfce desktop and try it out | 05:06 |
| webpirate | Its installing right now.. | 05:06 |
| BLT | miyako - Jack_Sparrow - I get 800x600 OK - but then you have to scroll for most WWW pages | 05:06 |

| newbie | hello, I need help, I am desperate. I cannot play any video on totem or firefox. Both freeze when I try to play any video. I already reinstalled totem and the gstreamer codecs, but still the same. The screen goes grayscale and it stops responding. What can I do? has anybody here experienced this problem before? | 05:06 |
| webpirate | can wrong refresh rates affect DVD playback CPU usage? | 05:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BLT: vesa mode will go to 1024x but you need to set your monitor rate. most people only mess with the video driver config. | 05:07 |

| webpirate | newbie: try automatix to install codecs it always works for me....4 different computer | 05:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webpirate: bad bad idea | 05:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !automatix | 05:07 |
| ubotu | automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 05:07 |
| webpirate | www.getautomatix.com | 05:07 |
| BLT | Jack and ubotu and miyako - thanks for the tips... I will try them | 05:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webpirate: Please do NOT advise people to use that garbage | 05:08 |
| webpirate | well I have always had good luck....not promising anything | 05:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !worksforme | 05:08 |
| ubotu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok.

| webpirate | ok....so than any disscussion is pointless here....because nothing it for sure | 05:08 |
| pianoboy3333 | can anyone help me get my logitech quickcam working with skype, I've tried a lot of things but none seem to be working | 05:09 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about attitude\ - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:09 |
| webpirate | pianoboy>> I would try to help but it might not work for you so I should not say anything | 05:09 |

| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: bad idea | 05:10 |

| Learning-Ubuntu | Anyone here who uses vnstat to log their internet usage? I would like to delte the log I created on ppp0 since IM using eth0 now | 05:10 |
| corruptionoflulz | webpirate: it's pretty well known that many users have serious problems with automatix, and since it's not officially endorsed, and actually recommended that you NOT use it, i can see why it shouldn't be suggested in the #ubuntu channel. | 05:10 |

| CyberMad | i got problem with installing ubuntu-desktop 7.10 (gutsy), actually i already install this gutsy on many computers, but i got problem with one computer... during installation i got this error: [!!] Load installer components from CD, Failed to load installer component. Loading libdebconfclient0-udeb failed for unknown reasons. Aborting. and there is option to go back or continue. What problem is this ? | 05:13 |
| webpirate | I guess I got kicked? | 05:13 |
| brandon_ | idk | 05:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sound | 05:13 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | So... with the latest version of emacs-snapshot available in ubuntu repos through synaptec, fonts still suck big time. Oh sure, menu and title fonts look ok, but the actual fonts of the window itself are not anti-aliased... was the snapshot version not built with xft? | 05:13 |
| CyberMad | is this related problem with the CD ? scratch ? | 05:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webpirate: please do not promote that script in here. | 05:13 |
| CyberMad | i see my cd there is not much scratch | 05:14 |
| dsnyders | Hi all. How can I rename a bunch of numbered files by prefixing the number on some of them with a zero. eg file_1 -> file_01 | 05:14 |

| chris__ | can any one help me i am having trouble with a program called vent | 05:15 |
| kelsin | ArthurArchnix: no it's not | 05:15 |
| kelsin | ArthurArchnix: why I pointed you to that blog | 05:15 |
| adamonline45 | Does anyone here use a Macbook? I've gone through countless tutorials on getting my wifi working using ndiswrapper on 7.10, but with no luck... I'd really appreciate if anyone could just tell me how to make it work 8) | 05:15 |
| brandon_ | ive tryed that | 05:15 |
| soldats | corruptionoflulz, i liek your name but i think you should change it to lulzisacorruptionoflol | 05:15 |
| soldats | heh | 05:15 |
| kelsin | ArthurArchnix: emacs does not have xft support until version 23 which is still dev and available on the emacs cvs which is what that guy packaged. Google "Ubuntu Pretty Emacs" to find it again | 05:15 |
| dsnyders | chris__, What sort of problem are you having? What is vent supposed to do? | 05:16 |
| corruptionoflulz | soldats: but then it's boring. since lol is a corruption of lulz | 05:16 |
| brandon_ | ive tried a bunch of guides to get my sound working im useing Creative SB augidy LS card | 05:16 |
| soldats | corruptionoflulz, hah i knew it all along | 05:16 |
| webpirate | it just seems funny to me that Linux.com can promote the script but we can't in here | 05:16 |
| webpirate | :( | 05:16 |
| soldats | webpirate, automatix may work for other distros but it does not work well in ubunty | 05:17 |
| chris__ | it is a program for talking to outher people on line im trying to use it fo my games but there is not a linux version yet so im running it through wine but its telling me i have the wrong codex | 05:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webpirate: They dont have to deal with helping people when it trashes their systems | 05:17 |
| Assid | adamonline45: you using a macbook with ubuntu ? | 05:17 |
| webpirate | Brandon>> try to run gnome-volume-control and make sure that everything it listed in there...if not you can add them from that program | 05:17 |
| brandon_ | the driver i needed to get was called ca0106 i think or sumthing to that matter | 05:17 |
| adamonline45 | Assid: I sure am :) Are you? | 05:17 |
| Assid | adamonline45: nah.. would like a mac as is tho :P | 05:18 |
| brandon_ | Webprivate: i did | 05:18 |
| adamonline45 | assid ahh, cool... Yeah they're secksy 8) | 05:18 |
| Viper | awww :( I guess he no like the matrix.... | 05:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | kelsin Yeah. Tried that and it made no diff. Never saw any tesitomonials on his site for gutsy, so maybe they're broken? Dunno. | 05:18 |
| webpirate | I think that the program is for ubuntu only | 05:19 |
| soldats | hmm i didnt know that i just know is isnt very good | 05:19 |
| dsnyders | chris__, I see some web pages suggesting teamspeak as an alternative to vent. Apparently there is a linux version of it. | 05:19 |
| webpirate | brandon>> are the controls for AC97 and wave in there? | 05:19 |
| ridge-meister | i'm looking for a website that has a lot of programming exercises | 05:19 |
| brandon_ | webprivate: no | 05:19 |
| webpirate | you might have to add them | 05:19 |
| brandon_ | how? | 05:20 |
| soldats | ridge-meister, like what kind of program excercises | 05:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | kelsin: I remove --purged my emacs. Added his repo. Added his key. Installed. And wammo, same ugly fonts. No errors, obviously used his package because I got the PPA warnings he mentioned... | 05:20 |
| qcode | FireFox just crashed on me... shit | 05:20 |

| corruptionoflulz | qcode: firefox is way worse on linux than on windows for me. | 05:21 |
| ridge-meister | soldats: i'm learning Python, should i spend a lot of time becoming really intimate with all the workings of Python, or would it be better to work on projects? | 05:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chris__: ask in #winehq for help with vent under wine | 05:21 |

| superm1 | so that it shows up as "hidden" on a windows machine | 05:21 |
| mofo | yo.... in need of gutsy x config help here... | 05:21 |
| adamonline45 | Assid: Mine too... I'm still paying for it 8) hehheh... And don't even have OSX on it anymore... | 05:21 |
| chris__ | ok how im sorry im still new to linux | 05:21 |
| ridge-meister | soldats: just not sure how to answer your question | 05:22 |
| webpirate | brandon>> thats as far as I can take you.....I don't know why they would not be there | 05:22 |
| kex | hello, can anybody help me with rhythmbox? :s | 05:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | qcode: I have not had firefox crash.. how did you install flash and java...? | 05:22 |
| webpirate | brandon>> wait | 05:22 |
| corruptionoflulz | !ask | kex | 05:22 |
| ubotu | kex: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 05:22 |
| brandon_ | webprivate: kk thx for the help tho :) | 05:22 |
| BLT | help | 05:22 |
| webpirate | brandon>> go to file...and see if you have more than one device | 05:22 |
| mofo | running on a dell D620 w/ an external monitor.. had been running 7.04 for quite a while with no problems | 05:22 |
| soldats | ridge-meister, python is very powerful and will do you good depending on what you want to do in the long run but if you want to get serious with programming id suggest keep with python until you are very comfortable and switch to c++ or c or c# | 05:22 |
| mofo | just upgraded to 7.10 | 05:22 |
| kelsin | ArthurArchnix: did you set the font and load in .Xresources like the page says | 05:22 |
| dsnyders | Chris__, Is vent short for ventrilo? | 05:22 |
| Assid | adamonline45 then whyd you go for it.. might as well pickup a cheap dell and do what you need | 05:23 |
| brandon_ | webprivate: i have th alsa misers and oss | 05:23 |
| mofo | and now I'm totally hosed. it won't just accept my xorg.conf | 05:23 |
| chris__ | yes sorry | 05:23 |
| corruptionoflulz | kex: what is your problem with rythmbox? | 05:23 |
| kelsin | ArthurArchnix: or tried starting emacs with "emacs -fn 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono'" or something? | 05:23 |
| soldats | qcode, use opera instead it is alot better | 05:23 |
| webpirate | Try to select the Alsa one | 05:23 |
| mofo | the stupid autoconfiguration panel keeps "correcting me" and resetting things | 05:23 |
| slowthy | I am having a lot of trouble getting the drivers for my Intel Media Accelerator 950 Graphics card in 7.10. I am new to linux, and any help would be great | 05:23 |
| mofo | totally doesn't like my external monitor | 05:23 |
| mofo | I'm about ready to throw my laptop out the window | 05:23 |
| brandon_ | its already set on alsa | 05:23 |
| webpirate | brandon>> and see if pcm is in there | 05:23 |
| webpirate | brandon>> try the other one | 05:23 |
| kex | corruptionoflulz, rythmbox is not sending my tracks to last.fm any longer | 05:23 |
| kelsin | ArthurArchnix: also make sure that emacs that is running is version 23, it's on the start screen | 05:23 |
| DivideZer | what i need to write java application under ubuntu ? | 05:23 |
| chris__ | dsnyders, yes sorry | 05:23 |
| mofo | I guess my question is - should I just downgrade to 7.04 again? I'm SOOOO wishing I hadn't upgraded | 05:23 |
| Flannel | slowthy: You don't need to get any drivers, they're already there | 05:24 |
| mofo | never been so frustrated with ubuntu as I am right now | 05:24 |
| soldats | kex, i didnt think rythmbox did that you should use amarok instead | 05:24 |
| ridge-meister | soldats: do you recommend that i stay with Python for the time being, because of its readability? | 05:24 |
| dsnyders | Chris__, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Ventrilo_Via_Wine has some instructions that may be helpful | 05:24 |
| kelsin | ArthurArchnix: if you do have two emacs installed you can select which one to use with sudo update-alternatives --config emacs | 05:24 |
| corruptionoflulz | kex: sorry, i've never messed around with last.fm much.. but i will take this as a chance to plug exaile as a music player | 05:24 |
| chris__ | ok ty | 05:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mofo: have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 05:24 |
| kex | soldats, but i am on gnome, would that make stuff a bit weird? :s | 05:24 |
| brandon_ | webprivate: stii no sound | 05:24 |
| webpirate | brandon>> also make sure that Digital Out id not selected unless you are using digital | 05:24 |
| webpirate | id - is | 05:25 |
| soldats | kex, no i use it frequently | 05:25 |
| qcode | interfacelift.com has nice wallpapers... cool | 05:25 |
| slowthy | Flannel: No, there are drivers for 945 and 965, but no 950. | 05:25 |
| kex | soldats, ok ill swicth to amaroK :) | 05:25 |
| brandon_ | webprivate: where is that option? | 05:25 |
| adamonline45 | Assid: I was heavy into web developing, and wanted safari in its native environment... And liked how it integrated so well in my linux network... And just needed something different, if I was gonna get anyhting... And then I wanted to get the faster one, and then more ram, and... yeah 8) It's ok, it paid for itself, but I didn't use that money for it... sigh... | 05:25 |
| webpirate | brandon>> go to Alsa device...then to options and check for digital out check mark | 05:25 |
| mofo | no I have not, I can try that - but why won't it just accept my xorg.conf that worked fine in 7.04? why does it insist on ignoring it? | 05:25 |
| corruptionoflulz | kex: you can run pretty much every kde app in gnome, although, amarok was a bit buggy for me | 05:25 |
| webpirate | brandon>> options tab | 05:25 |
| DivideZer | what i need to write java application under ubuntu ? | 05:25 |
| corruptionoflulz | kex: and used more resources than i cared for, so now i use exaile. | 05:25 |
| brandon_ | i dont have an options tab | 05:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mofo: I dont think they are interchangeable | 05:26 |
| adamonline45 | DivideZer: I hear you can get eclipse for linux | 05:26 |
| excoder | Hello, can anyone tell me how to enter ascii characters in ubuntu? like the ALT+0174 in windows returns the (R) sign. It's not letting me here in ubuntu. | 05:26 |
| kex | corruptionflulz, ok, ill try amarok or exaile, but does exaile have support for last.fm? | 05:26 |
| webpirate | brandon>> how about a switches tab | 05:26 |
| DivideZer | adamonline45 , and savve as java run time application the code ? | 05:26 |
| brandon_ | ok i got it now | 05:26 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Adam_, yes you can adamonline45 its in the repos | 05:26 |
| soldats | ridge-meister, python is very readable and looks very nice so i would suggest staying with it till you have a full grasp on it. then when you start learning other languages the syntax will be very different but if you have a very very good grasp on it you will pick it up quickly. learning to program takes a lot of motivation so if you have what it takes then you will improve rapidly | 05:27 |
| brandon_ | had to enable some of the thing in prefs | 05:27 |
| erat123 | the bash people told me to ask you guys a question, it has to do w/ repositories, is anyone interested in helping me out? | 05:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | oops I mean adamonline45 | 05:27 |
| mofo | really? but why would they not be? same hardware, same setup | 05:27 |
| ridge-meister | soldats i'm not sure what you mean by "very comfortable". i have a very basic grasp of object oriented principles, database, filewriting | 05:27 |
| soldats | !ask | erat123 | 05:27 |
| webpirate | brandon>>ok....so your sound is working now? | 05:27 |
| ubotu | erat123: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 05:27 |
| adamonline45 | DivideZer: I'm not sure, I'm in the developer circle so I heard about it; but I'm just a C++ guy so far... | 05:27 |
| brandon_ | no | 05:27 |
| webpirate | hmm.. | 05:27 |
| ridge-meister | soldats: my problem isn't the motivation, but knowing what to work on next. | 05:27 |
| corruptionoflulz | kex: i believe exaile has last.fm support.. | 05:27 |
| DivideZer | aa ok | 05:27 |
| brandon_ | ok i got it working now | 05:27 |
| dsnyders | excoder, I think you can do \174 in certain places | 05:28 |
| erat123 | ubotu: lol, thanks. ubuntu allows you to find the best server in the software sources, is there a way to do this same thing in bash on my ubuntu server? | 05:28 |
| brandon_ | i had to turn off an options in stiwches | 05:28 |
| webpirate | brandon>> sweet...what was it | 05:28 |
| kex | corruptionoflulz soldats, ok thanks ^^ | 05:28 |
| soldats | ridge-meister, do you mean what kind of program you write | 05:28 |
| brandon_ | thx web | 05:28 |
| corruptionoflulz | erat123: protip: ubotu is a bot. | 05:28 |
| webpirate | brandon>> was it digital option? | 05:28 |
| brandon_ | i own you a ton man | 05:28 |
| brandon_ | yea | 05:28 |
| webpirate | brandon>> cool...glad I would help | 05:28 |
| erat123 | corruptionoflulz: yeah, just figured out that one :-) | 05:28 |
| brandon_ | my ears hurt tho | 05:28 |
| adamonline45 | DivideZer: Paddy_EIRE confirms its available. It's worth a shot I suppose... What I heard about it, and why I recommend it blindly, is that it works nearly identically across platforms | 05:28 |
| soldats | corruptionoflulz, protip: ask ubotu about love or hate or maybe loli | 05:28 |
| brandon_ | i had headphones in with max voluume | 05:29 |
| brandon_ | ouch | 05:29 |
| erat123 | corruptionoflulz: do you have any ideas for my question? | 05:29 |
| webpirate | he he he | 05:29 |
| webpirate | that will learn ya | 05:29 |
| brandon_ | slayer in full blast is painfull | 05:29 |
| Paddy_EIRE | adamonline45, yeah its cross-platform.. | 05:29 |
| corruptionoflulz | erat123: i never saw you ask one | 05:29 |
| excoder | dsnyders: it's not working anywhere.. | 05:29 |
| erat123 | ubuntu allows you to find the best server in the software sources, is there a way to do this same thing in bash on my ubuntu server? | 05:29 |
| Assid | adamonline45: never really thought of os x to be resource hungry | 05:29 |
| brandon_ | ok time to install vent | 05:29 |
| brandon_ | so i can raid again | 05:29 |
| ridge-meister | soldats: yes, that's why i am looking for "programming exercises". something that will force me to become intimate with the language. otherwise i'm just going to read about it. and of course we know that doesn't accomplish much | 05:29 |
| adamonline45 | Assid: I'm into music production too 8) | 05:30 |
| soldats | ridge-meister, write a calculator with error handling | 05:30 |
| * corruptionoflulz knows nothing about ubuntu server | 05:30 | |
| soldats | ridge-meister, with a gui too | 05:30 |
| dsnyders | excoder, I just tried it here. No dice. Not unexpected, since it came from my dim memories of long ago. I am googling though. | 05:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ridge-meister: search for source code and work with it, save you fav routines, merge them and make your own apps. | 05:30 |
| webpirate | you know what I figured out the other day...just incase anyone does not know this...if you log into ssh with -X option you can run X programs on your computer but the input comes from the remote computer | 05:31 |
| adamonline45 | Has anyone used madwifi on a gen-2 macbook? | 05:31 |
| slowthy | I am having a lot of trouble getting the drivers for my Intel Media Accelerator 950 Graphics card in 7.10. I am new to linux, and any help would be great | 05:31 |
| ^Ocean^ | Is the webcam Spca5xx Driver Stalk with ubuntu? Or do i have too install a package too get the kernel driver for it ? | 05:31 |
| soldats | ridge-meister, write a script that changes your wallpaper each day | 05:31 |
| webpirate | almost defeats the point of VNC | 05:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !webcam | 05:31 |
| ubotu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 05:31 |
| excoder | dsnyders: yeah, i tried googling it and I can't seem to find a solid resolution.. | 05:31 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ridge-meister, yeah... I have also been looking for exercises myself but I found this and think its great to read through http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/ | 05:32 |
| soldats | webpirate, old news is old | 05:32 |
| corruptionoflulz | soldats: ridge-meister and give that script to me, because i hate the gnome wallpaper manager thing | 05:32 |
| webpirate | I know...but I just figured it out so I thought I would share it | 05:32 |
| ridge-meister | soldats: now, wouldn't writing a script to change my wallpaper each day also require me to have some knowledge of BASH :) | 05:32 |
| ridge-meister | corruptionoflulz: lol :D | 05:32 |
| webpirate | someone might have learned something......new people here everyday | 05:32 |
| soldats | corruptionoflulz, yea i kinda wanted it as well cause im too lazy to do it | 05:32 |
| corruptionoflulz | soldats: desktop drapes works alright, but you have to put everything in the gnome wallpaper manager | 05:33 |
| soldats | ridge-meister, yes but it would still be simple | 05:33 |

| JJtech | is there any Microsoft windows Compatibilty Program aside from wine? | 05:34 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about compatibility - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !cedega | 05:34 |
| ubotu | cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega | 05:34 |

| Paddy_EIRE | JJtech, what are you looking to run | 05:34 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !crossoveroffice | 05:34 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about crossoveroffice - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:34 |
| kelsin | JJtech: crossover office is a commercial version of wine that focuses on Office and other major products, and Cedega is wine with more direct X support, but past that you're looking at some form of emulation | 05:34 |
| JJtech | Paddy_EIRE: Counter Strile | 05:34 |
| JJtech | Paddy_EIRE: Counter Strike | 05:34 |

| kelsin | JJtech: if it's like it used to be it's 5 bucks a month to be a member with a 15 minimum or something like that | 05:36 |
| kelsin | JJtech: don't have to stay a member to keep using it, just to download and then to get support | 05:36 |
| JJtech | kelsin: OUCH.. i thought everything here is FREE.. | 05:36 |
| kelsin | ubuntu is free | 05:36 |
| kelsin | cedega is just software that runs on linux, not part of the ubuntu project | 05:37 |
| adamonline45 | Assid: DO you see my replies? It says I need to register or something. | 05:37 |
| mofo | ok, I did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, restarted x, and it does the same thing - totally ignores the config. I always wind up back with the same default settings. is it the new gutsy autoconfig "helper"? how the fsck do I turn it off, how do I just make this look at my xorg.conf file | 05:37 |
| dsnyders | JJtech, It's free as in liberty, not necessarily free as in beer | 05:37 |
| kelsin | and wine (which cedega is built off of) does work for most games, just have to look at the appdb on wine's website to see if it runs well without cedega | 05:37 |
| Paddy_EIRE | JJtech, no its not free.. but hey its only 15 quid | 05:37 |
| soldats | mofo, i wonder why it didnt change | 05:37 |
| Paddy_EIRE | dsnyders, you know where I can get free BEER!!! | 05:38 |

| corruptionoflulz | alltray is a very nifty app. | 05:38 |
| mofo | I have no idea. it's just killing me, I just absolutely won't retain any of my settings. I mean - would it be easier just to downgrade back to feisty? so frustrated | 05:38 |
| dsnyders | Paddy_EIRE, unfortunately, all the beer I've ever run across has a price. If not today, then the next morning. | 05:39 |

| dsnyders | Hi all. I have some files ending in numbers. How do I rename/renumber them with a leading zero (eg file_1 -> file_01)? | 05:47 |
| adamonline45 | soldats: It gives me no feedback... | 05:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Paddy_EIRE: do you run wine or dual boot your pc? | 05:48 |
| soldats | thats strange id suggest you take a visit to freenode.net | 05:49 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Jack_Sparrow, occasionally run wine | 05:49 |
| soldats | it has help for that sort of thing | 05:49 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Jack_Sparrow, although dual-booting is better when it comes to gaming | 05:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Paddy_EIRE: I may ask you to test a program in a week or two... It will run in wine or windows... | 05:49 |
| Paddy_EIRE | sure :) | 05:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Paddy_EIRE: Will let you know when I get it to beta.. It isnt anything special, but should let you fix or tweak ubuntu system files from Windows or Wine. full gui | 05:50 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Jack_Sparrow, wow.. very nice :) | 05:51 |
| lockd | But if it's your program you can compile it in linux as well.. though it takes winelib if you must use windows API | 05:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Paddy_EIRE: Nothing special.. but will have you check it out for me. | 05:51 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Jack_Sparrow, anytime... :D | 05:51 |
| lockd | Jack_Sparrow: is it your own application? | 05:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | YEs | 05:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lockd: but it is in VB6 | 05:52 |
| lockd | Jack_Sparrow: oh, so "API" isn't really a question | 05:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lockd: I know realbasic has a version that will cross compile, but is not free | 05:52 |
| JJtech | i don't know what happen..but my BOX restarted during WINE download.. | 05:52 |
| tntCry | btw guys how come opera cant load websites , it says 404 not found... | 05:52 |
| _6StringKng_ | url correct? | 05:53 |
| _6StringKng_ | opera works fine for me | 05:53 |
| JJtech | Paddy_EIRE: PC restarted.. | 05:53 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ah.. | 05:53 |
| lockd | but if it was for tweaking system files don't know why you didn't just use a Kommander or something | 05:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JJtech: Odd, was it coming from our repo or from Wine | 05:53 |
| tntCry | it works sometimes and sometimes it doesnt | 05:53 |
| dsnyders | HI all! My renumbering file problem is solved. I just found the bulk file rename tool on the Applications->Accessories menu. Handy tool. | 05:53 |
| tntCry | and why the rating of opera is soo bad in linux :( | 05:53 |
| JJtech | Jack_Sparrow: i think from wine | 05:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lockd: I wanted to get to them from windows environ... to get back into Ubuntu | 05:54 |
| Paddy_EIRE | tntCry, because firfox already comes pre-installed :P | 05:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JJtech: just get it from our repos... less hassle | 05:54 |
| JJtech | Jack_Sparrow: will you walk me through?? | 05:54 |
| soldats | dsnyders, thats good | 05:54 |
| tntCry | i recommend opera because of the cool side bar | 05:54 |
| tntCry | and speeddial and many other things .. | 05:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JJtech: go to synaptic... select wine and install | 05:54 |
| Paddy_EIRE | JJtech, just let us know where you are at :) | 05:54 |
| _6StringKng_ | only reason I like opera is for the speed dial | 05:55 |
| JJtech | Jack_Sparrow: ok.. i'll do that sir.. | 05:55 |
| soldats | opera is far superior | 05:55 |
| _6StringKng_ | otherwise I use FF | 05:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 05:55 |
| JJtech | Paddy_EIRE: ok | 05:55 |
| corruptionoflulz | tntCry: speed dial really isn't that great, i just opened up a text editor and made my own link list in html in like 1 minute. | 05:55 |
| lockd | Jack_Sparrow: oh, might be interesting how you did that | 05:55 |

| Jack_Sparrow | lockd: Current version is not ready for prime time | 05:56 |
| Dr_willis | adamonline45, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 05:56 |
| kitche | adamonline45: /etc/init.d/gdm will restart gdm which is pretty much the same | 05:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | adamonline45: see above | 05:56 |
| tntCry | corruptionoflulz, yes for the linux world and its people i know what you mean its ok! and the brain is ok with it... | 05:56 |
| lockd | Jack_Sparrow: do you have the functions? | 05:56 |
| adamonline45 | Dr_willis: kitche: What if I'm using KDE? | 05:56 |
| corruptionoflulz | tntCry: i don't really follow what you are saying... | 05:57 |
| JJtech | hey, WINE is already GREEN box in synaptic.. | 05:57 |
| Dr_willis | adamonline45, sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 05:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lockd: the functions? I can get to the files I want and edit/save them if that is what you mean | 05:57 |
| tntCry | corruptionoflulz, but for the 44% of the rest are people who are like me and dont want such things but want eyecandy simple and happy user... | 05:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JJtech: go to cli type wine notepad.exe | 05:57 |
| tntCry | corruptionoflulz, and 12% are the people who are having trouble with all kinds of systems | 05:57 |
| lockd | Jack_Sparrow: I could care less about program now.. I just want to see the algorithm (i.e. what to copy over manually) | 05:57 |
| JJtech | Jack_Sparrow: kk | 05:57 |
| JJtech | Jack_Sparrow: wait.. hehe, what is " CLI ?? | 05:58 |
| tntCry | 44% of linux lovers and satisfied life style. the other 44% unsatisfied because of the childhood days they havent did what you did.. | 05:58 |

| mofo | soldats: ok running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and setting the color depth to 16 made it happy with my laptop's display. but how do I tell it that I have a second monitor? I tried then using the "screens and displays" wizard, and that just screwed everything up again. but running dpkg-reconf xserver-conf doesn't let me tell it about a second monitor, does it? | 05:58 |
| JJtech | Jack_Sparrow: i see.. | 05:58 |
| corruptionoflulz | tntCry: i hate to break it to you, but opening a text editor (or a web design program) and making an html file with a list of links is really pretty straight forward. | 05:59 |
| _6StringKng_ | you called terminal a dos prompt, lol | 05:59 |
| soldats | mofo, not sure about that have you searched through the furums | 05:59 |
| soldats | mofo, im very sorry but im unsure of using 2 monitors | 05:59 |
| mofo | yep | 05:59 |
| JJtech | Jack_Sparrow: uhhmm... notepad windows pop-up.. .... .... | 05:59 |
| mofo | have looked, can't find it | 05:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lockd: here are a couple lines of a bash script.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46407/ | 06:00 |
| mofo | ok so if there is no way to get my external monitor with gutsy, I'm going to have to downgrade. I looked for a tutorial - can someone point me to a definitive guide for downgrading from gutsy to feisty? I'm losing work hours here and just don't have time to sort thruogh this x nonsense | 06:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JJtech: what did you expect? | 06:00 |
| lockd | Jack_Sparrow: Thanks. Yay, no vb! | 06:01 |
| kitche | mofo: want downgrade instructions just install feisty anew | 06:01 |
| ankur | is there any command that can help me to add/del ip address with terminal? | 06:01 |
| JJtech | Jack_Sparrow: as expected.. window of notepad appears.. ^_^ | 06:01 |
| mofo | can't install it anew - I have tons of things installed and configured specifically - that would set me back days, getting my dev env set up again | 06:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lockd: I thought you would prefer that | 06:01 |
| ankur | is there any command in ubuntu that can help me to add/del ip address with the help of terminal? | 06:02 |
| mofo | I need to be where I was two hours ago - either with a working gutsy w/ external monitor, or my old feisty install | 06:02 |
| Dr_willis | ankur, what do you mean add/delete ip address? | 06:02 |
| ankur | yes | 06:02 |
| ankur | add/deleat | 06:02 |
| lockd | Jack_Sparrow: Oh.. that's not what I expected | 06:02 |
| lockd | Jack_Sparrow: that backs up some important stuff though | 06:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes it does.. right to your desktop | 06:03 |
| Dr_willis | ankur, 'WHAT' do you mean by add/delete. :) | 06:03 |
| Dr_willis | ankur, add them where? | 06:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lockd: with specific file names | 06:03 |
| lockd | Jack_Sparrow: does the fdisk allow you to reconstruct if you destroy the table by accident? | 06:03 |
| ankur | <Dr_willis> like ifcfg command | 06:04 |
| mofo | anyone? | 06:04 |
| boss | irc://irc.xdccnet.com/bitchwarez | 06:04 |
| lockd | Jack_Sparrow: i've done that way too many times | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | ankur, you configure your network cards with the ifconfig command if thats what you are refering to. | 06:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lockd: I think it will... since the switch to uuid I have not had nearly the problems | 06:04 |

| HateX | but im running into a lot of errors saying files are locked, i get the same problems when using an XP OS to copy a vista OS | 06:12 |
| joycetick | is it possible to autologin on ubuntu server 7.10? | 06:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HateX: there are several clone programs.. look into the dd command or hirenscd or ultimate boot cd | 06:12 |
| HateX | is there a tool that runs well on Ubuntu allowing me to do this | 06:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !backup | 06:12 |
| ubotu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 06:12 |
| corruptionoflulz | HateX: this should be easily done using gparted (system -> admin partition manager) off the live cd. | 06:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 06:13 |
| ubotu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 06:13 |
| greenman | Hello all. I have a question. But first I have to say that I'm using ubuntu on a macbook pro using livecd. That's pretty c ool | 06:13 |
| mikeo | heh heh should have just googled my laptop first | 06:13 |
| mikeo | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3852561 | 06:13 |
| greenman | My question is I'm having problem installing ubuntu on a dell desktop. | 06:13 |
| HateX | ok thanx i'll try it corruptionoflulz and jack__Sarrow | 06:13 |
| Nematocyst | TheShadowZero, Azureus went south on me too. probably just that i'm on 64 bit and java isn't working right... anyway, i went uTorrent through wine. lots and lots of decent bittorrent options | 06:13 |
| greenman | It get's to the part that plays the music and the monitor doesn't show anything | 06:13 |
| TheShadowZero | thats all well and good but alternative solutions are not really what i want | 06:14 |
| greenman | It's like it's not getting a signal | 06:14 |
| corruptionoflulz | TheShadowZero: well, if the log files didn't fix it, i dunno, like i said, i couldn't get azureus to work even close to stable | 06:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greenman: what model of Dell | 06:14 |
| TheShadowZero | i see | 06:14 |
| TheShadowZero | worked fine before i upgraded | 06:14 |
| corruptionoflulz | TheShadowZero: although, if you want the most stable one, use rtorrent | 06:14 |
| ankur | s for example suppose my ip is 192.168.1.1 and i want to change it to 192.168.1.5 with the help of command | 06:14 |
| greenman | Jack_Sparrow: Not sure offhand, I know it's not horribly old. It plays Halflife 2 and such. | 06:14 |
| kiosk | haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii | 06:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greenman: at the start install menu.. try F6 then noapic , also burning slow helps, or use the alternate-text installer | 06:15 |
| greenman | noapic, what does that do? | 06:15 |
| lockd | Ktorrent seems like the most useful torrent app | 06:15 |
| joycetick | ankur: setup a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces? | 06:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greenman: I ask as I have a few around, c610 and c640 d600 | 06:15 |
| === Krow1 is now known as Psy-Krow | ||
| greenman | Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean by burning slow? | 06:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greenman: when you burn the *.iso.. burn at slowest speed possible | 06:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greenman: The dell should say on the bottom what model it is | 06:16 |
| greenman | Ah. I've never messed with speeds on the MBP, I might try that if noapic doesn't work. | 06:16 |
| mihai_ | Does anyone know how to update my Synaptic Manager list? | 06:16 |
| greenman | Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, I'm not there anymore, it's a friends computer. | 06:16 |
| ankur | joycetick: no i need to change ip address with the help of terminal .Is there an command in ubuntu? | 06:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | housekeeping tonight | 06:17 |
| prakriti | ifconfig | 06:17 |
| HateX | hey corruptionoflulz , buy using gparted i'd be copying the whole partition right?, In doing this i would need to wipe my usb disk before copying the vista partition over to it right? | 06:17 |
| prakriti | ankur : man ifconfig | 06:17 |
| greenman | Jack_Sparrow: I want to say it's an optiplex | 06:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greenman: try those suggestions... so not a lappy... | 06:17 |
| corruptionoflulz | HateX: you could resize whatever partition you have on your usb disk first. | 06:17 |
| ankur | i read it but not get any option in man ifconfig | 06:17 |
| corruptionoflulz | HateX: then copy that partition into the empty space. | 06:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greenman: I also have a gx240 optiplx.. use F6 and noapic | 06:17 |
| greenman | Jack_Sparrow: Nah, desktop. :) | 06:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | maybe 260 | 06:18 |
| mihai_ | How can I update the list in Synaptic Manager? | 06:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | 478 socket p4 | 06:18 |
| corruptionoflulz | mihai_: there is a refresh button | 06:18 |
| Jaszbo | ! wifi | 06:18 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:18 |
| greenman | Jack_Sparrow: I'll try noapic and I'll also Burn a copy of the text installer if I have to. | 06:18 |
| corruptionoflulz | mihai_: upper left, "reload" | 06:18 |
| corruptionoflulz | mihai_: or sudo apt-get update | 06:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greenman: At least you know it will work with the onboard video or the nvidia plug in as well | 06:18 |
| greenman | The main thing I need is to fix the grub menu, it's trying to load an external hard drive so it gives error 21. | 06:18 |
| HateX | corruptionoflulz, OK, and once i do that what im planning on doing is upgrading the vista install to a professional version. once that is complete im going to bring back the file from the old vista install to the new. So im going about this right way correct? | 06:19 |
| mihai_ | corruptionoflulz: A lot of programs are still not listed after doing that | 06:19 |
| prakriti | ankur : you can edit the files in /etc/network by hand and then /etc/init.d/netword restrat | 06:19 |
| prakriti | restart | 06:19 |
| greenman | I figured I could use ubuntu livecd to move data around and then just install ubuntu on the main disk | 06:19 |
| corruptionoflulz | mihai_: then the problem lies not with the updating. | 06:19 |
| corruptionoflulz | HateX: sorry, i don't really follow exactly what you want to do. | 06:19 |
| greenman | Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, well I think the MBP uses ATI. | 06:19 |
| mihai_ | corruptionoflulz: Don't I have to set it for the universe or something like that? | 06:20 |
| ankur | <prakriti> oh i need not do it manually | 06:20 |
| ankur | <prakriti> i need to do by command | 06:20 |
| mihai_ | corruptionofluz: I remember Kubuntu's Adept Manager having way more programs listed for download | 06:20 |
| corruptionoflulz | mihai_: if those are the programs you wish to access, then yes | 06:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greenman: I thought onboard was intel.. but either way optiplex did work with the option.. You can create a spare partition for data then install to unallocated space. | 06:21 |
| kristjans | In where does one place the init-script in Ubuntu? | 06:21 |
| corruptionoflulz | mihai_: an easy way to do this is system -> admin -> software sources | 06:21 |
| joycetick | ankur: you can edit in command, nano /etc/... | 06:21 |
| kristjans | I am an Arch Linux user assisting an Ubuntu user, therefore I do not know where to let him place the init script. | 06:21 |
| CoasterMaster | !init | kristjans | 06:22 |
| ubotu | kristjans: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 06:22 |
| HateX | corruptionoflulz, im taking a computer with vista home and im upgrading it to vista pro (so i can join it to our domain) but i don't want to lose all of the documents stuff on it. I want to copy everything on the drive before i do my fresh install. This seems like that sane thing to do right? copying the entire partition and all? | 06:22 |
| greenman | Jack_Sparrow: I'm not sure I do know that I ahve the ati drivers in windows. | 06:22 |
| kristjans | Thank you, CoasterMaster. | 06:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | greenman: it will e fine | 06:22 |
| deefzi | i've installed eclipse, and when i try to compile my .java-files in console, i get error that e.g. Scanner can't be resolved | 06:22 |

| deefzi | i have sun-java6-sdk installed though | 06:22 |
| deefzi | but javac -version gives this: | 06:22 |

| Jack_Sparrow | deefzi: how did you install your version | 06:23 |
| greenman | Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, he has two internal disks and one external, he's going to move data from the intern als to the external and then install linux on the main drive in a new partition. | 06:23 |
| greenman | I'm assuming he | 06:23 |
| greenman | has space | 06:23 |
| greenman | I'll probab | 06:23 |
| corruptionoflulz | HateX: if you have documents and stuff, it'd be easy to just copy those instead, but the safest way is back up the entire partition, yes. | 06:23 |
| deefzi | Jack_Sparrow, first i had sun-java6-sdk installed and then i installed eclipse | 06:23 |
| greenman | ly have to help him | 06:23 |
| HateX | corruptionoflulz, i tried connecting the vista hardrive as an additional hardrive to an XP machine and copying all the files over after i took ownership of them but i still was getting many errors like "access dennide" | 06:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deefzi: from our repo or from off the web | 06:23 |
| corruptionoflulz | HateX: for a minute i thought you were talking about trying to integrate the old partition back into the upgraded one | 06:23 |
| deefzi | Jack_Sparrow, repo | 06:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deefzi: k.. just checking | 06:24 |
| thani | how to delete history in only current shell ? | 06:24 |
| HateX | oh no corruptionoflulz | 06:24 |
| qinjuehang | anyone know about DRM_CMDBUFFER=-22 error with openGL apps? | 06:24 |
| deefzi | Jack_Sparrow, i can try "javac -1.6 *.java" which should compile with 1.6.0 but still - scanner isn't resolved | 06:24 |
| deefzi | like wtf | 06:24 |
| greenman | Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for the help, gonna go back into OS X land. :) | 06:24 |
| corruptionoflulz | HateX: then yes, the livecd partition editor should be fine, just resize and- wait.. i don't know if it can copy partitions or not actually... it should be able to. | 06:24 |
| * Psy-Krow is away: afk | 06:24 | |
| greenman | I'll try your ideas. | 06:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np later | 06:25 |
| qinjuehang | um...anyone know about DRM_CMDBUFFER=-22 error with openGL apps? and how to slove it? | 06:25 |
| qinjuehang | I get it from Blender | 06:26 |
| mihai_ | How do I download the security updates for Ubuntu ? | 06:26 |
| HateX | corruptionoflulz, with regard to XP OS's i was always able to connect the hardrive to another XP machine, take ownership of all the files, then copy all the files to a folder on a different disk. But with vista im running into some rights issues. since this is not my data and im doing if for someone else i do not want to take the chance on not copying something. | 06:26 |
| tarheelcoxn | I've got no sound on a T43 with an intel ICH6 00:1e.2 0401: 8086:266e (rev 03). terminal bell works, 'tail -1 /proc/asound/oss/sndstat' shows '0: Analog Devices AD1981B' ... snd_intel8x0 is loaded ... can anybody help me troubleshoot? | 06:26 |
| girly2night | goodmorning ... Crossover or Wine to play wow on linux? | 06:26 |
| corruptionoflulz | HateX: fair enough, i have pretty much no experience with vista yet, so i'd take it the safe way too. | 06:27 |
| HateX | corruptionoflulz, im running ubuntu gutsy gibbon so i should be able to use the gparted here | 06:27 |
| kelsin | girly2night: wine, crossover doesn't add anything you need, and it costs | 06:27 |
| qinjuehang | girly:you should check the wine apps database | 06:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !wine | 06:27 |
| ubotu | 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. | 06:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !wow | 06:27 |
| ubotu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 06:27 |
| girly2night | well most guides use wine ... so i just thought to ask ... | 06:27 |
| deniz_ | quick question, wat is the connection for my us robotics sporster 33.6k called? | 06:27 |
| qinjuehang | appdb.wine.org I think | 06:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: SLow.. :) | 06:28 |
| tarheelcoxn | I should mention that I'm running gutsy, 2.6.22-14-generic | 06:28 |
| HateX | corruptionoflulz, yeah i hate vista, lots of problems joining them to domains and group policies get very messed up when trying to control XP boxs and Vista boxes with the same policies | 06:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: Sorry.. I assume it is a hardware modem. | 06:28 |
| corruptionoflulz | HateX: yes, gparted seems like it should take care of all of your needs. (i think i may have read somewhere that it's safer to run gparted from livecd, but i don't really recall on that one at all, and if you are accessing drives that your linux install isn't on, it should be fine.) | 06:28 |
| deniz_ | no1 knows?? | 06:28 |
| gladier2 | hey guys - i keep on having my ubuntu freeze randomly on me - the mouse cursor still moves and its a fresh install | 06:28 |
| tarheelcoxn | gladier2: is compiz on? | 06:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS | 06:29 |
| HateX | cool corruptionoflulz , thanx for the help | 06:29 |
| corruptionoflulz | np | 06:29 |
| gladier2 | tarheelcoxn: it was - since been disabled and still freezing | 06:29 |
| qinjuehang | m...anyone know about DRM_CMDBUFFER=-22 error with openGL apps? and how to solve it? | 06:29 |
| tarheelcoxn | gladier2: you've ruled out hardware? | 06:29 |
| bullgard4 | What is the purpose of an 'Ubuntu Hug Day'? | 06:29 |
| tarheelcoxn | bullgard4: to reduce the number of open bugs | 06:30 |
| stdin | bullgard4: someone fixes a bug, and you give them a hug :) | 06:30 |
| tarheelcoxn | bullgard4: or untriaged bugs | 06:30 |
| gladier2 | tarheelcoxn: not entirely yet - i had windows BSOD on my a number of times but it was never the same "reason" | 06:30 |
| gladier2 | ive checked dmesg and /var/log/messages and so far havent seen anything special | 06:30 |
| ramza3 | I want to buy a PC game at the store and have it actually work with wine. I like all kinds of games; what is a game that you bought recently that is fun and works with wine? | 06:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: It should show up as ttyS0, 1 ,2, 3, 4 or 5 so Test in terminal sudo screen /dev/ttyS0, 1 ,2, 3, 4 or 5 | 06:31 |
| bullgard4 | tarheelcoxn, stdin : Thank you for explaining. | 06:31 |
| gladier2 | ramza3: WOW :P | 06:31 |
| girly2night | anyone has used the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft guide to install wow? cause i really just started with linux... dont have too much experience with it. | 06:31 |
| kelsin | gladier2: check ~/.xsession-errors as well | 06:31 |
| ramza3 | gladier2: Hmm, I have that one, ok besides WOW | 06:31 |
| tarheelcoxn | gladier2: I smell bad capacitors, maybe? | 06:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ramza3: if you want a cool fps... look at sauerbraten.. play online too | 06:31 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, i remember u, i was called s3a or s2a b4 basically i need to no wat the port is called so i can make it usb so gnome-ppp detects it thru the usb port | 06:31 |
| gladier2 | probably ... | 06:31 |
| girly2night | will it be easy or managable for me? | 06:31 |
| hellonull | anyone familiar with mounting freebsd filesystems from the ubuntu livecd? | 06:32 |
| Cyntek | my friend is having trouble accessing the command: alsaconf in ubuntu, he is set as root he keeps getting this msg: bash: alsaconf: command not found | 06:32 |
| qinjuehang | girly2nite:I guess not a lot of people here tried the guide...cuz WOW costs money. | 06:32 |
| Cyntek | why? | 06:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: you are running usb usr modem? | 06:32 |
| LifeNomad | whats an easy sure-fire way of securing ssh logins, I have already moved the port to an arbitray # vs. 22 | 06:32 |
| gladier2 | tarheelcoxn: you mean PSU?? | 06:32 |
| LifeNomad | psu? penn state? | 06:32 |
| tritium | LifeNomad: power supply unit | 06:33 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, no, i am not, but i want to get an adapter to make it usb bcuz apparently my laptops port for the modem is defective | 06:33 |
| kelsin | girly2night: wow has worked for me with no setup ever since wine 9.28, so it should be pretty easy esp if you have a windows install to copy from | 06:33 |
| tarheelcoxn | gladier2: could be that, too | 06:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gladier2: If it smells warm... check fans and psu and the thermal grease between cpu and heat sink | 06:33 |
| kristjans | another question... does ubuntu use ~/.xinitrc file? | 06:33 |
| ompaul | !sudo | Cyntek (and the command is not found) | 06:33 |
| ubotu | Cyntek (and the command is not found): sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 06:33 |
| corruptionoflulz | LifeNomad: probably either that or portland state | 06:33 |
| gladier2 | tarheelcoxn: pastebin of .xsession errors http://pastebin.com/d7e4d82f1 | 06:33 |
| kelsin | kristjans: if you boot into the console and run "startx" manually it uses .xinitrc | 06:33 |
| Cyntek | so, sudo alsaconf as root? | 06:33 |
| LifeNomad | any thoughts on securing ssh? | 06:33 |
| TheShadowZero | btw, updating java fixed broken azureus | 06:33 |
| tritium | LifeNomad: it is | 06:33 |
| kelsin | kristjans: but gdm (the default display manage on default ubuntu) does not | 06:33 |
| kristjans | thank you kelsin, that what i was aiming for. | 06:34 |
| ompaul | !sound | Cyntek | 06:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS | 06:34 |
| soldats | gdm uses menu.lst | 06:34 |
| ubotu | Cyntek: 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 | 06:34 |
| kristjans | thats for SLiM, not GDM :) | 06:34 |
| tritium | soldats: no, you're thinking of /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:34 |
| kelsin | soldats: grub, the boot manage uses /boot/grub/menu.lst, gdm uses a whole setup of session files | 06:34 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, well the modem is not with me, i just wanted to no the port's name | 06:34 |
| soldats | yea | 06:34 |
| Nematocyst | TheShadowZero, good deal. you don't happen to be on 64-bit, do you? | 06:35 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, i tried detecting it with gnome-ppp thru each ttys? | 06:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: cant lnow for sure unless you have it plugged in. | 06:35 |
| TheShadowZero | Nematocyst, nope | 06:35 |
| TheShadowZero | 32bit | 06:35 |
| TheShadowZero | updated from jdk update 1 to update 3 | 06:35 |
| shadeofgrey | anybody here know where to get the first release of the ubuntu liveCD for Hardy Heron? | 06:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: if usb use lsusb or lspci etc | 06:35 |
| girly2night | so kelsin what u suggest is just to copy the wow folder from my windows to linux? | 06:35 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, its not usb but i want to make it... | 06:36 |
| kelsin | girly2night: into the right place, which is something like ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ or something like that yeah | 06:36 |
| qinjuehang | Anyone knows how to get FlashMX 2004 to work in WINE? | 06:36 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, u or sum1 else had told me that b4 | 06:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: better off not trying to use a usb adapter for serial port | 06:36 |
| kelsin | girly2night: wow uses NO registry entries and no fancy anything outside of it's folder | 06:36 |
| kelsin | qinjuehang: check the appdb at winehq, I don't think people have had much luck with any of the flashes | 06:37 |
| soldats | qinjuehang, hmm i wish i knew how ive wanted that for a while | 06:37 |
| shadeofgrey | also does anybody here have extensive xperience with running ubuntu on the firt gen macbookpro and utilizing two displays -- specifically setting my macbookpro to make my 24" dell widescreen the standard rather than the secondary? | 06:37 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, ya but everything seems to point to the fact that my laptops port is defective since it worked on the port of this ~900 mhz old computer | 06:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: First choice is.... Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS verify serial port enabled in bios | 06:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | goodnight people... | 06:38 |
| gladier2 | nite captin | 06:38 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, well clearly its pointless now but ill come back later since i c u alot | 06:38 |
| JohnMM | what's the command to reconfigure xorg? | 06:38 |

| DivideZer | what in linux is like ADOBE FLASH CS3 PRO ? | 06:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Learning-Ubuntu: I actually.. (gag me) run fastsone freeware under wine | 06:40 |
| gladier2 | DivideZer: crap ... CS2 works tho | 06:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gimp | 06:40 |
| ubotu | gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. | 06:40 |
| DivideZer | gladier2 ,ok like cs 2 but with what in linux i can create flash ? | 06:40 |
| qinjuehang | Divider, try Open-office Impress (or something like that) | 06:40 |
| kelsin | DivideZer: there aren't any great 2d animation programs yet. KToon and Synfig are promision though :-( | 06:41 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | Jack_Sparrow, Thank yuo just wanted to know if something like acdsee picases wa sin repos :) | 06:41 |
| kelsin | DivideZer: there are some programming libraries to create swfs, but nothing like flash | 06:41 |
| DivideZer | :((((((((((((((((( | 06:41 |

| gladier2 | DivideZer: i dont do graphics work so i cant help | 06:41 |
| Amaranth | DivideZer: you may be able to use it in WINE | 06:41 |
| RyanT5001 | i'm not sure if i'm getting spam filtered or if it's just not sending in the first place | 06:41 |
| qinjuehang | Divide, OpenLaszlo will work too | 06:42 |
| DivideZer | yes i will try wine | 06:42 |
| gladier2 | Amaranth: CS3 doesnt work in wine yet, however CS2 does | 06:42 |
| kelsin | RyanT5001: if you have exim installed (which is default I think) check /var/log/exim4/mainlog | 06:42 |
| JJtech | Paddy_EIRE: im back.. WINE seems okay with notepad.. but when i tried other applications, wine window opens up then closes.. howcome? | 06:42 |
| qinjuehang | I had no success running Flash on wine, maybe you will... | 06:42 |
| Peddy | is anyone having a problem in the game Sauerbraten where there are only 3 servers avaliable (yet on XP there are many)?? | 06:42 |
| JJtech | !wine | 06:42 |
| ubotu | 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. | 06:42 |
| corruptionoflulz | hey, i want to back up my entire home folder to dvd (all my programs and settings and such), should i just copy everything but /media and then i'll be good? | 06:43 |
| RyanT5001 | kelsin: i don't have any such log directory; maybe I just need to install exim? | 06:43 |
| qinjuehang | JJtech what applications did you test? | 06:43 |
| JJtech | Paddy_EIRE: Yahoo messenger.,, | 06:43 |
| RyanT5001 | kelsin: i'm clueless about this stuff; i've never set up any smtp-related anything before | 06:43 |
| JJtech | qinjuehang: yahoo messenger | 06:43 |
| kelsin | RyanT5001: try "man sendmail" and see if that reveals what stmp program you have installed | 06:43 |
| JJtech | qinjuehang: i will try another | 06:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JJtech: turn off effects | 06:44 |
| JJtech | Jack_Sparrow: ??? effects on what?? | 06:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | compix desktop effects | 06:44 |
| Nematocyst | compiz and wine aren't always friendly | 06:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | compiz | 06:44 |
| RyanT5001 | kelsin: no entry for sendmail. the only mail-related package i've installed manually (over Gutsy) is mailx to get the "mail" command | 06:45 |
| corruptionoflulz | canonical really shouldn't have turned compiz on by defaults. | 06:45 |
| AddyK | Um, who was Filesender? | 06:45 |
| qinjuehang | JJtech: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7401&iTestingId=15981 Yahoo messenger does not work anyway | 06:45 |
| JJtech | Jack_Sparrow: ok.. i will try going back to metacity.. is this okey?? then i use wine.. | 06:45 |
| kelsin | RyanT5001: you can also check /var/log/mail.log | 06:45 |
| corruptionoflulz | qinjuehang: can't you just use pidgin instead? | 06:46 |
| kelsin | RyanT5001: those will at least tell you if the mail is going off your server (or trying to) | 06:46 |
| RyanT5001 | kelsin: i've got /var/log/mail.{err,info,log,warn}, all of which are empty | 06:46 |
| qinjuehang | corruptionoflulz, I am using pidgin... | 06:46 |
| RyanT5001 | kelsin: oh wait, let me double-check, i think i was on the wrong machine | 06:46 |
| Nematocyst | JJtech, if it turns out to be desktop effects, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=533257 | 06:46 |
| cyzie | RyanT5001, then enable the log to higher | 06:47 |
| JJtech | Nematocyst: ok..thanks.. | 06:47 |

| kelsin | RyanT5001: cool one sec | 06:50 |
| kelsin | RyanT5001: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" and select "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail" | 06:50 |
| RyanT5001 | bah, putting a real email in here was probably a bad idea, given spam spidering these logs | 06:50 |
| JJtech | guys, i accidentally delete the bottom panel.. how to restore it?? | 06:51 |
| Saelynh | hi | 06:51 |
| Nematocyst | qinjuehang, the appdb for flashmx 2004 isn't encouraging. see: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2294&iTestingId=4369 | 06:51 |
| Dr_willis | bgates@microsoft.com ? :) | 06:51 |
| Jaszbo | !wifi | 06:51 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:51 |
| kelsin | RyanT5001: and then go through the rest of the config, there is a lto of explanation in the dpkg program and google for the rest cause I don't know what would be perfect for you | 06:51 |
| Saelynh | anyone know an app for optimise size picture ? | 06:51 |
| JJtech | guys, i accidentally delete the bottom panel.. how to restore it?? | 06:51 |
| Saelynh | there is a thing like that in photoshop | 06:51 |
| dolphin_noel | Saelynh gimp | 06:51 |
| Saelynh | but gimp does not do that | 06:51 |
| Saelynh | :( | 06:51 |
| kelsin | RyanT5001: but then exim should be setup to deliver to whatever smtp server you need it to, or if you want to fully send email from your computer you should select the first option and configure it from there :) but at that point def should start looking at other tutorials on setting up exim for ubuntu | 06:52 |
| dolphin_noel | Saelynh yes it does | 06:52 |
| RyanT5001 | kelsin: ah, ok, thanks | 06:52 |
| dolphin_noel | Saelynh ok wait | 06:52 |
| Saelynh | dolphin_noel: where ? | 06:52 |
| RyanT5001 | kelsin: yeah, now that i know exim is the key, i should be able to find tutorials; thanks a ton | 06:52 |
| kelsin | RyanT5001: yep, by default it doesn't send email out :) | 06:52 |
| JJtech | guys, i accidentally delete the bottom panel.. how to restore it?? | 06:52 |
| mohkohn | Hi just put an ubuntu cd into qemu and my world went grey. | 06:52 |
| Saelynh | I try to set my picture in indexed colors, this kind of thing, but my image is still to heavy | 06:53 |
| mohkohn | I had to do a hard reboot to get out. | 06:53 |
| mohkohn | Any idea why that might have happened. | 06:53 |
| kelsin | JJtech: right click on top panel and select "New Panel" | 06:53 |
| dolphin_noel | Saelynh open the image and the go to (image) and the click in (scale image) | 06:53 |
| qinjuehang | mohkohn: Did you try VirtualBox? Maybe something happened to your xorg | 06:53 |
| Saelynh | I dont want to resize it :o | 06:54 |
| JJtech | JJtech: thanks.. i see it now.. ^_^ | 06:54 |
| mohkohn | is virtual box in etch? | 06:54 |
| JJtech | kelsin: thanks | 06:54 |
| dolphin_noel | Saelynh so what you try to do? | 06:54 |
| kristjans | once again, a question. should "#!/bin/sh" in a script be replaced with "#!/usr/bin/env bash" for ubuntu? | 06:55 |
| Dr_willis | kristjans, ive never heard that suggetion befor | 06:55 |
| Saelynh | I try to have with a small weght :d | 06:55 |
| Saelynh | an image * | 06:55 |
| Dr_willis | kristjans, the default 'sh' in ubuntu is 'dash' so if you are using Bash features - then you SHOULD be using #!/bin/bash or similer. | 06:55 |
| kelsin | kristjans: fully up to you, sh follows posix standards and doesn't allow for extra bash stuff, using /usr/bin/env bash is more likely to run on more systems in case bash is not in /usr/bin | 06:55 |
| mohkohn | I am burning an ubuntu alternate install cd from a debian etch machine. | 06:56 |
| Saelynh | from 100ko I would like to have 50ko or less | 06:56 |
| dolphin_noel | Saelynh ohhh you can resize the image to lower the size and you can allways to when you go to (save ho) you can chose image quality ... and have theere more options | 06:56 |
| Dr_willis | what if env -> /usr/bin/env is not in /usr/bin ? :) | 06:56 |
| mohkohn | but the last question would be better on #debian so away I go. | 06:56 |
| dolphin_noel | Saelynh (save as) | 06:57 |
| kristjans | btw, i've never heard it either ;) found it in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomXSession for the first line | 06:57 |
| mohkohn | md5sum: ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso: Input/output error | 06:57 |
| Saelynh | the "image quality" is only avalible for jpg exention | 06:58 |
| mohkohn | that is on the burned cd. sounds like I need to burn again. | 06:58 |
| kelsin | kristjans: if you're only using this script on ubuntu systems then it doesn't matter, if you want it to be "more" portable (depending on definition fo portable) /usr/bin/env might help, it probably doesn't make much difference | 06:58 |
| kelsin | Saelynh: what are you trying to save as? | 06:59 |
| tritium | Saelynh: that's because it's a lossy format. You get to choose how much information to throw away. | 06:59 |
| kristjans | okay, it will be for ubuntu based system. thank you for all the replies! :) | 06:59 |
| dolphin_noel | Saelynh you go there more options then that like in png the compression | 06:59 |

| labinns1 | Has any body found out yet how to print to PDF from any application in Gutsy that can be read by adobe? | 07:10 |
| dns53 | the cups-pdf should be in by default, you can just print | 07:10 |
| mihai_ | _6StringKng_: What exactly is the name of the package? | 07:10 |
| kelsin | labinns1: "Print to PDF" is an option for my in any print dialog by default | 07:10 |

| _6StringKng_ | ubuntu-restricted-extras I think | 07:11 |
| _6StringKng_ | I'll check | 07:11 |
| mihai_ | ok | 07:11 |
| _6StringKng_ | Ubuntu restricted extras | 07:11 |
| labinns1 | kelsin, dns53,: Yes, It does not produce a document that can be read by Adove | 07:11 |
| _6StringKng_ | you did change it to show all available applications correct? | 07:11 |
| isi | gibt es nen deutschen ubuntu channel?? wenn ja wie komm ich da hin | 07:11 |
| kelsin | labinns1: what does the adobe program say? I've never had a problem | 07:12 |
| mihai_ | _6StringKing_ : Yes | 07:12 |
| labinns1 | kelsin, dns53,: it does not recognise the script or some such thing. | 07:13 |
| kelsin | labinns1: I would double check that you're using fonts that are available on windows. by default it probably doesn't embed fonts (and I don't know how to make it) so make sure you're using Times new Roman or other windows base fonts | 07:13 |
| _6StringKng_ | k, search for the package and install it then | 07:13 |
| kelsin | labinns1: does it give you that error? or does it just not look right? | 07:13 |
| munk_ | tritium i created them right i have gentoo on them right now and it works properly but i wanna switch to ubuntu and the installer doesnt see the partitions...the reason i dont want to delete them is cuz i have a windows partition too that i need... | 07:13 |
| mihai_ | Ok, I found it | 07:13 |
| labinns1 | kelsin, But I don't determine the font for applications like Firefox | 07:14 |
| tritium | munk_: you're sure you're using the _manual_ installer? | 07:14 |
| tritium | partioner, rather? | 07:14 |
| kelsin | labinns1: like I already asked, does adobe give you an actually error? If so what is it? | 07:15 |
| munk_ | tritium u mean whenever it gets to the partitioning of the hard drive to go on manual..right? ive done it before on my laptop and it worked and now it just sees the hdd but no partitions | 07:15 |
| tritium | munk_: yes, that | 07:16 |
| labinns1 | kelsin, I am in Ubuntu at the moment and I don't remember the exact error, but it says something like it is unable to open the file because it does not recognise the script. | 07:16 |
| munk_ | tritium and if i click on new parttyition table it uses the space as if the hdd is emp | 07:17 |
| munk_ | *empty | 07:17 |
| tritium | munk_: strange | 07:17 |
| munk_ | tritium i know but i really hope theres a way to go around it.. | 07:18 |
| tritium | munk_: must be something unique to your setup there | 07:18 |
| munk_ | tritium :(( these things always happen to me...honestly everysingle time.. | 07:18 |
| tritium | sorry, munk_ | 07:19 |
| munk_ | tritium its ok thank you tho... | 07:19 |
| gRnt | Hi everyone I've got a slightly newbish question :) | 07:19 |
| gRnt | I've installed my first ever linux distro today (ubuntu) vut given I didn't have a machine I am running it through VMWare. | 07:19 |
| gRnt | All afternoon all ive been able to manage to do is update my sources.list to my local ISP's, I then decided to try out running an ap to see if it worked | 07:20 |
| gRnt | so I went to install xhat | 07:20 |
| gRnt | xchat** | 07:20 |
| dns53 | labinns1: ok i have tested the cups-pdf driver, it will output a pdf to your ~/PDF/ directory | 07:20 |
| gRnt | when I run it I get the error "(xchat:4228): Gtk-warning **: cannot open display: | 07:21 |
| gRnt | is that a vmware issue because the app is gui based or did I stuff something up? | 07:21 |
| dns53 | it is gui based | 07:21 |
| astro76 | gRnt, xchat runs though? | 07:22 |
| munk_ | im trying to install ubuntu in my computer but it wont see my partitions already made and i REALLY dont want to delete them cuz i need stuff off them....H?ELPPP | 07:22 |
| gRnt | well I dont know as soon as I type in xchat it throws that error | 07:22 |
| gRnt | when I typed sudo apt-get install xchat it installed | 07:22 |
| gRnt | so I assume it would run but I heard you cant run any gui based apps in vmware.. | 07:22 |
| Jan-Rippl | I love icecast2 | 07:22 |
| Jan-Rippl | :-D | 07:22 |
| althepcman | gRnt: setting in vmware | 07:22 |
| gRnt | ill have a look now thanks | 07:23 |
| gRnt | btw as hard as linux is | 07:23 |
| gRnt | i love it already | 07:23 |
| dns53 | how are you running it, if you run it in a terminal the DISPLAY veriable that tells the application where the screen is can get messed up, run it through the menu or another terminal | 07:23 |
| labinns1 | dns53, The problem is this document cannot be read by adobe. In fact nothing goes to my PDF directory unless I select print to file | 07:23 |
| kelsin | selecting print to file makes it print the postscript that would be sent to the pdf driver to a file, that's going to be strait postscript and not work in adobe | 07:24 |
| gRnt | dns53 if by terminal you mean the screen you click on to do everything then yes | 07:24 |
| kelsin | labinns1: when I selected the CUPS-PDF printer in firefox and hit ok, a file appeared in the PDF directory in my home directory | 07:24 |
| kelsin | labinns1: and as soon as my gf finishes her wow boss I'll see if it opens on her windows laptop | 07:24 |
| Weng | Alright. Running Feisty, rebuilt with a custom kernel and, for the life of me, I can't get the nVidia drivers installed. | 07:25 |
| gRnt | althepcman would you happen to know where said setting is, thats also a good point it wont work without vid drivers will it? | 07:25 |
| astro76 | gRnt, are you running a graphical desktop? what did you install? | 07:26 |
| dns53 | Weng: same kernel version? you should be able to build the restricted package from source if you made a deb of the kernel | 07:26 |
| labinns1 | kelsin: Nothing goes to my PDF directory unless I use print to file. | 07:26 |
| kelsin | labinns1: so when you goto print in firefox, select the pdf printer and DON'T check the print to file box, and hit ok that nothing appears in the PDF folder in your homd directory? | 07:26 |
| Weng | dns: Newer kernel. | 07:26 |
| Weng | dns53: Newer kernel | 07:26 |
| gRnt | I am running ubuntu Gusty Gibbon in VMWare Workstation 5.5.4 (the ubuntu release is server and 32bit) | 07:26 |
| labinns1 | kelsin: That is correct | 07:26 |
| kelsin | labinns1: just to be totally clear, after you do that and hit ok, then go to "Places" then "Home Folder" then double click on "PDF" you don't have any pdfs there? | 07:27 |
| JonathanPM | Hey Hey Hey | 07:27 |
| Weng | Envy bombs out while building the driver, too. | 07:27 |
| Weng | And I *think* I know why. | 07:27 |
| JonathanPM | evil whit death | 07:27 |
| dns53 | weng: ok things get harder, you will need to download the restricted modules source, mess with the dependnecy of those packages so they depend on your new version. possible but a bit harder | 07:27 |
| astro76 | gRnt, you of course need to be running X to run gui programs, otherwise there is no display, yes | 07:27 |
| xzased | hiya all | 07:28 |
| labinns1 | kelsin: Only files that were created prior to my upgrade to Gutsy | 07:28 |
| astro76 | gRnt, not sure why you used server instead of desktop then, but you can install ubuntu-desktop package if you want | 07:28 |
| xzased | how can I see the source of a program? | 07:28 |
| dns53 | dns53: perhaps you could try module-assistant or the nvidia shell script | 07:28 |
| JonathanPM | I hate snow | 07:28 |
| gRnt | astro76 was just recommened by friends to run server so I did. what do you mean I will need to be running X to run gui programs? | 07:28 |
| kelsin | labinns1: then yeah, something is messed up with your cups-pdf driver and that's definitely above my leve of understanding. But adobe shouldn't be able to read "print-to-file" output, that makes sense cause it's not a pdf, it's the postscript fed to the cups-pdf driver. | 07:29 |
| Jan-Rippl | for your xmms: http://mokriny.cz:8000/listen.ogg | 07:29 |
| munk_ | why doesnt ubuntu see my partitions? i tried to scan with gparted and it says that all the space is unallocated but i know i have partitions on it? | 07:29 |
| Weng | dns53: Now that I really think about it, the best course is probably going to be to go build the drivers by hand and hack the makefile's "check to make sure this goon actually has an nVidia card" to recognize my one-off video chip's dev id | 07:29 |
| labinns1 | kelsin: Thanks for trying | 07:30 |
| Flannel | munk_: What sort of partitions are they? | 07:30 |
| JonathanPM | I have the same problem I cant get ubuntu to see my secondary hdd | 07:30 |
| dns53 | munk_: you must have installed them under lvm the logical volume manager | 07:30 |
| munk_ | dns53 i believe so if i remember correctly and is there anyway to go around that? | 07:30 |
| munk_ | Flannel, ext3 and ntfs | 07:30 |
| kelsin | labinns1: when you print a systray icon should have appeared, when you click on it are any jobs sitting there "stuck"? | 07:31 |
| munk_ | dns53, but the one that is important is an ntfs... | 07:31 |
| Weng | (Why HP couldn't just give me a GeForce 4 MX 440 that said GeForce 4 MX 440 on it instead of giving me a GeForce4 MX 440 that says GeForce4 Go 440 on it and has a different device ID is absolutely beyond me) | 07:31 |
| dns53 | gparted does not recognise a lvm partition, there is a tool for fedora not sure about how to do it under ubuntu | 07:31 |
| xzased | hey, while you are in the driver stuff. Any recommendations on documentation to build a driver? | 07:32 |
| * JonathanPM looks outside at the 6 degree weather and the falling snow and shivers | 07:32 | |
| Flannel | munk_: And if you boot to windows you see your partitions? | 07:32 |
| gRnt | althepcman are you able to show me where that vmware option is | 07:32 |
| xzased | woops. I mean, about how to build a driver | 07:32 |
| labinns1 | kelsin: There status is held. When I try to release them the status temporarily changes to Processing and then reverts to Held but the job disappears after my 4th attempt | 07:32 |
| munk_ | Flannel, yes i do... | 07:33 |
| z9999 | We have ubuntu 6.06 installed on a notebook, and would like to give 7.04 a try. As we have spent over a year getting most things to work, we would like to keep 6.06 and make a dual boot install using 7.04, but we would like to be able to access the existing home directories when booting to either version. Has anyone done this previously and is able to give some details as to the procedure? | 07:34 |
| Flannel | munk_: Try another linux liveCD, another version of ubuntu, knoppix, whatever. | 07:34 |
| kelsin | any messages anywhere, or in properties for the jobs to say why they are held? Any errors in ~/.xsession-errors dealing with cups or pdf? | 07:34 |
| rgnr | hello every1! | 07:34 |
| munk_ | Flannel but how can i put ubuntu after that? | 07:34 |
| rgnr | ubuntu rulezzz! | 07:35 |
| Flannel | z9999: You'll need to make /home/ its own partition (not difficult), and then just share that. You could run into configuration version issues though (versions for stuff in dapper vs gutsy have different config options/fomratms whatever) | 07:35 |
| Flannel | munk_: Just trying to see what other things can see those partitions. | 07:35 |
| astro76 | z9999, just make new partitions for 7.04 (you can use the same swap partition) and install, during the partitioning section of the install, you can specify the mount points of the other systems partitions (e.g. /media/dapper or whatever) | 07:35 |
| munk_ | Flannel ok ill try thanks | 07:35 |
| OldakQuill | OK, very stupid question - where is the best place to install programs to? | 07:35 |
| ramza3 | what are you guys using to convert ogg to mp3. I was thinking about ffmpeg, but cant seem to find a command to do it | 07:36 |
| astro76 | z9999, and from your rational for keeping the other system, you definitely do NOT want to share /home to be safe | 07:36 |
| Nematocyst | munk_, does 'fdisk' see them? (fdisk <device>, then 'p' to display the partition table) | 07:36 |
| kelsin | OldakQuill: you mean programs that you can't install with synaptic/aptitude/apt-get? | 07:36 |
| MatthewV | z9999, if you just wanted to try 7.04 / 7.10, you could just use the live cd :) | 07:36 |
| Flannel | z9999: Or you can have a separate install entirely, and you just mount the old home to access stuff, yeah. like astro76 said. | 07:36 |
| OldakQuill | kelsin: Yes | 07:36 |
| OldakQuill | And just a convenient common place for things like jar | 07:36 |
| kelsin | most times java apps (and other apps that have everything theyh need in one folder) get placed in /opt | 07:37 |
| gRnt | Does anyone know why I am getting the error (xchat:7933): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: when I try and run xchat (an IRC client). I have already installed the nvidia drivers using sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic. I am using vmware though... | 07:37 |
| kelsin | and normal autotools apps and other unix programs that follow filesystem guidelines are good to put in /usr/local to keep them separate from ubuntu packages | 07:37 |
| OldakQuill | Thank you very much | 07:37 |
| OldakQuill | Where does wget download to? | 07:37 |
| astro76 | gRnt, because you are running ubuntu server with no x installed | 07:37 |
| astro76 | gRnt, install ubuntu-desktop | 07:37 |
| Flannel | OldakQuill: working directory | 07:37 |
| kelsin | ramza3: just as a note, you're not going to get good quality going from ogg -> mp3 | 07:37 |
| dns53 | gRnt logout/login | 07:37 |
| labinns1 | kelsin: Trying to have a look at the properties now, but I have not received any error messages | 07:38 |
| OldakQuill | Ok, thanks | 07:38 |
| gRnt | dns53 I havent had to do that yet how do I log out heh. save restarting the os ofcourse | 07:38 |
| simplechat | OldakQuill, current directory (.) | 07:38 |
| gRnt | astro76 what do you mean I have no x installed? | 07:38 |
| astro76 | !xorg | 07:38 |
| ubotu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 07:38 |
| OldakQuill | Ok, that was a dumb question, but thanks for answering | 07:38 |
| Nematocyst | gRnt, or perhaps you have installed X (probably as a dependency for xchat), but you aren't running X | 07:39 |
| Omlette | Hey, dumb questions are good too. | 07:39 |
| newbdude | my comp teacher told us that there are patches 'out there' to boost the recieving strength of usb wifi adapters. i think this is mumbo-gumbo, but is he right, i googled and yahooed but found nothing. can anyone point me to some good reading | 07:39 |
| h1st0 | gRnt: Do you have a GUI or is your vmware system just console based? | 07:39 |
| simplechat | OldakQuill, thats what were here for :) | 07:39 |
| ramza3 | kelsin, i have an input program that only supports mp3 | 07:39 |
| dns53 | gRnt: the problem is you do not have all the shell environment variables setup, a logout/login or running bash to create a sub shell may work | 07:39 |
| kelsin | labinns1: I would start poking around at http://localhost:631 and trying to figure out why the pdf driver is "broken" | 07:39 |
| === CrewChat-5589526 is now known as D_ReaL_PuNiShEr | ||
| h1st0 | newbdude: maybe firmware upgrades or something. I've even seen firmware that lets some cards run in AP mode. | 07:40 |
| labinns1 | kelsin: Nothing in properties, printer status is ready | 07:40 |
| astro76 | dns53, he has installed ubuntu server, there is no x.org | 07:40 |
| kelsin | ramza3: I'm not saying you shouldn't be trying to get mp3's as an end result, but if you can encode the mp3s from flacs, or original data that's the better option | 07:40 |
| h1st0 | dns53: xchat will only run in X | 07:40 |
| gRnt | wow okay to everyone that replied this is my first install so most of this is going over my head from what I understand I need to download and isntall a gui in order to run xchat as I currently only have a console.. | 07:40 |
| [cd] | Hi | 07:40 |
| h1st0 | gRnt: yes or you can use a console based irc client such as irssi | 07:40 |
| kelsin | gRnt run "sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop" then reboot the vm | 07:41 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: hi | 07:41 |
| gRnt | sudo apt-get install irssi? | 07:41 |
| Flannel | gRnt: yes | 07:41 |
| [cd] | Could anyone tell me what the pkg/program that is used in Gutsy for wireless (wifi)? | 07:41 |
| h1st0 | gRnt: yeap | 07:41 |
| gRnt | YAY im learning.. | 07:41 |
| astro76 | gRnt, do you want a command-line only server, or a desktop system? if the latter, you might want to install regular Ubuntu in the first place, or as I said now you could install the ubuntu-desktop package from the server install | 07:41 |
| labinns1 | kelsin: Thanks for that link, I will have a look. | 07:41 |
| gRnt | its taken me all arvo to set up my sources.list for my isp | 07:41 |
| kelsin | labinns1: that's the localhost link to the cups admin panel on your computer | 07:41 |
| dns53 | come to think of it, there is a no-gui option for xchat, irssi | 07:41 |
| gRnt | linux is a steep learning curb lol | 07:41 |
| newbdude | h1st0: my comp teacher told us that there are patches 'out there' to boost the recieving strength of usb wifi adapters. i think this is mumbo-gumbo, but is he right, i googled and yahooed but found nothing. can anyone point me to some good reading | 07:41 |
| h1st0 | gRnt: well console is yes. | 07:41 |
| h1st0 | newbdude: they would be patched drivers or firmware upgrades. | 07:42 |
| kelsin | gRnt: if you were handed a windows install cd, a blank computer and had no prior windows knowledge it would be a pretty steep curve as well | 07:42 |
| [cd] | anyone here is using gutsy? | 07:42 |
| gRnt | true kelsin...I only went with server because everyone I know with linux said using a gui defeats the purpose of using linux.. | 07:42 |
| gRnt | :( | 07:42 |
| h1st0 | newbdude: search for patched drivers or have a look at the aircrack-ng.org site they have some documentation on altered drviers for packet injection etc... That may be a good start. | 07:42 |
| zetheroo | how do you install VMware player from source?.... I downloaded the .tar.gz file and extracted it to my Desktop.... what now? | 07:42 |
| kelsin | gRnt: I would just install the full ubuntu desktop, esp if you want to learn | 07:43 |
| h1st0 | newbdude: I don't know how exactly you'd boost a physical limitation unless the manufacturer is turning it down though. | 07:43 |
| rgnr | so.. who's the main helping hand around? | 07:43 |
| [cd] | Zeth usually ./configure | make | make install | 07:43 |
| astro76 | gRnt, hehe, well defeats the purpose of running it as a server... but if it's intended as a desktop... | 07:43 |
| dns53 | you can get a long way with screen and irssi | 07:43 |
| rgnr | where do i have to install java ? | 07:43 |
| h1st0 | gRnt: well thats not necessarily true. | 07:43 |
| h1st0 | gRnt: Once you get more experienced you will see what they mean. | 07:43 |
| [cd] | Anyone here is using gutsy? | 07:43 |
| astro76 | gRnt, they said that because graphical desktop introduces security risks unnecessary in a server | 07:43 |
| [cd] | or gusty* | 07:44 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: yes | 07:44 |
| [cd] | could the one who is using it , tell me what is the program used in it for wifi/wireless as i really need it ;) | 07:44 |
| gRnt | okay so irssi works mine | 07:44 |
| gRnt | except one thing | 07:44 |
| gRnt | how do you exit it | 07:44 |
| gRnt | hah | 07:44 |
| h1st0 | gRnt: On my laptop I boot to cli and only use X when I need it. I have a core gui set up. | 07:44 |
| newbdude | h1st0: thanks, i will look where you suggested, i know it prob not put out by the manuf. cause teach said that he couldnt telll us where to obtain them | 07:44 |
| munk_ | Nematocyst, no im on the live cd it doesnt see it...i just tried with feisty too and same thing.. | 07:44 |
| h1st0 | gRnt: /exit | 07:44 |
| gRnt | pfft | 07:44 |
| gRnt | thats too easy! | 07:44 |
| dns53 | install sun-java6-jre or icedtea-java7-jre | 07:45 |
| gRnt | I was expect ctrl + weird key combo or something | 07:45 |
| h1st0 | gRnt: you can also /help in there will give you a whole bunch of inof. Or /help server etc.... | 07:45 |
| zetheroo | [cd]: yeah I know that is the usual way.. but all that is in here is a file called vmware-install.pl | 07:45 |
| rgnr | help pls! | 07:45 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: what do you mean exactly? What are you trying to do? | 07:45 |
| [cd] | try ./vmware-install.p1 or somethings | 07:46 |
| [cd] | i cant update to gutsy (bandwidth limited) , so i decided to install wireless stuff into this ubuntu without needing to update it | 07:46 |
| dns53 | rgnr like i said, you can install sun's vm sun-java5-jre sun-java6-jre or the open source icedtea-java7-jre | 07:47 |
| [cd] | i tried ubuntu gutsy on my bro laptop which works perfect but i dont know where he put the cd | 07:47 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: What wireless stuff are you looking for? | 07:47 |
| movaxes | sorry about this: Me and a friend found a illegal dvd, etc pre-teen por web site but since I don't live in USA probably won't help to call the goverment here, any help? (sorry for the off topic but sometimes one have to do what one have to do) | 07:47 |
| _6StringKng_ | any suggestions on getting my internal modem in my laptop to work with ubuntu 7.10? | 07:47 |
| Nematocyst | munk_, well then i would try 'fdisk -l' to see that you are looking at the correct device | 07:47 |
| h1st0 | movaxes: contact the FBI if for the US | 07:47 |
| [cd] | GUI wireless configure (usually some kind of restreicted driver and program that lets you scan all wireless and you pick the one you like to connected too (without using shell) | 07:48 |
| astro76 | movaxes, that's a local law enforcement issue | 07:48 |
| movaxes | I don't live in the USA | 07:48 |
| movaxes | a web site? | 07:48 |
| movaxes | ok | 07:48 |
| kelsin | labinns1: you could also try "sudo aptitude install cups-pdf" again or "sudo dpkg-reconfigure cups-pdf" to see if that helsp | 07:48 |
| h1st0 | movaxes: Well then you'd have to contact your local law enforcement | 07:48 |
| rgnr | any1 help please | 07:48 |
| _6StringKng_ | whats happening? | 07:48 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: ahh I believe thats just the new network-manager applet | 07:49 |
| dmb | hey, can anyone help me figure out why video in totem is blue for me? | 07:49 |
| zetheroo | does anyone know how to install VMware player from source? | 07:49 |
| dmb | any ogg/avi/mpeg all has a tint of blue | 07:49 |
| [cd] | i guess , could you tell me its name please? :D (i really really need it) | 07:49 |
| [cd] | Zeth , the one you told us isnt from source | 07:49 |
| h1st0 | zetheroo: I dont' really play with vmware I use virtualbox but anyhoot there is good documentation on installing from source at help.ubuntu.com | 07:49 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: network-manager | 07:50 |
| Slackwise | I have a program that is linking to the wrong set of libraries... anyone know a way to change a single applications linking? | 07:50 |
| movaxes | ok I'll try, sorry | 07:50 |
| [cd] | ok , i hope there is .deb or source code for it | 07:50 |
| rgnr | any1 sees me ? | 07:50 |
| [cd] | Zeth use this to install it ./vmware-install.pl | 07:50 |
| kelsin | dmb: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+question/7373 that might help | 07:50 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: Its already installed in feisty you'd have to upgrade the package to the gutsy version. I wouldn't really recomend that. | 07:50 |
| h1st0 | rgnr: no | 07:50 |
| dns53 | Slackwise: you could always try using system links to point to the correct location | 07:50 |
| [cd] | h1st0 the problem i am on 56k (modem) thats why i cant | 07:51 |
| Slackwise | dns53: You mean soft/hard links? | 07:51 |
| dns53 | Slackwise: yes, soft links should work | 07:51 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: No I'm saying you would have to upgrade that package and a few others to the gutsy version is that what you are trying to accomplish? | 07:51 |
| munk_ | Nematocyst, it doesnt show me anything:( | 07:51 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: also you can order ubuntu cds for free on their site. The Ship it program. | 07:52 |
| [cd] | Well no , but i am trying to makes me wireless working with me | 07:52 |
| Slackwise | dns53: I'm fairly sure they wont... when a binary is executed, it checks the dynamic library cache for the location of a symbol for functions it needs... | 07:52 |
| [cd] | i know about that and i also know how long it will takes to arive ;) | 07:52 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: So you need an app that will scan for APs and allow connetion easier. hold up. | 07:52 |
| [cd] | yeah :D | 07:52 |
| johnnybezak | hey guys i've discovered theres a problem with my wireless driver, but i'm not sure what it is. how do i find out about what my wireless hardware/driver is | 07:52 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: wifi radar? | 07:52 |
| [cd] | i would test it , thanks for your help | 07:53 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/ | 07:53 |
| dns53 | Slackwise: worth a try, if the problem is a newer version is installed it will work, if you have an older version than you need it will break | 07:53 |
| gaYloVerZ | wot? | 07:53 |
| [cd] | the link is ever better (thx again) :) | 07:53 |
| agenthex | anyone managed to get Xen working with an Intel C2D? | 07:53 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: sudo apt-get install wifi-radar | 07:53 |
| kelsin | johnnybezak: "lspci" in a term should list a bunch of hardware, should be able to find your wireless card there | 07:53 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: it should be int he repos | 07:53 |
| [cd] | no need - emerge wifi-rader xD | 07:53 |
| Slackwise | dns53: I'm fairly certain I will break my entire system by linking to a different version of glibc :P | 07:54 |
| dmb | kelsin: that worked, again, another problem with proprietary only drivers :( | 07:54 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: well maybe you should ask the gentoo people. | 07:54 |
| dmb | thanks though | 07:54 |
| [cd] | No , i am trying to install deb/gentoo/fedora app mangers into one distro | 07:54 |
| [cd] | many people saying its a bad idea ,but i will see :) | 07:54 |
| h1st0 | It is a bad idea because they aren't aware of each other | 07:55 |
| kelsin | [cd]: and files will clobber each other constantly, and you will just end up with a ton of incompatible binaries | 07:55 |
| [cd] | i would have to edit few thing , to makes this works with me but till that i am sure everythings would move smooth | 07:55 |
| kelsin | [cd]: not when all three try to install their own version of glibc on top of each other | 07:55 |
| rgnr | ыва | 07:56 |
| [cd] | no need , i will take care off it (by install it from source) | 07:56 |
| [cd] | so gentoo emerge will comes here , and other pkgs i will get it from other mangers | 07:56 |
| xTheGoat121x | evening | 07:57 |

| LoneShadow | !livecd | 07:57 |
| ubotu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 07:57 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: its in the repos I don't know why you'd even bother messing with it. Or why you'd even bother with allthe differenct package mangers. | 07:57 |
| evfan42 | I need help installing with a dual boot | 07:57 |
| LoneShadow | !customlivecd | 07:57 |
| ubotu | Creating custom Live CDs is explained on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 07:57 |
| h1st0 | [cd]: since you aren't really gaining anything from it. | 07:57 |
| kelsin | then you break dependecies, so then to install a deb you have to tell dpkg to ignore the fact that it can't find glibc, then you run into two problems 1) you're losing the main beneifit of the whole apt system and 2) the binary debian packages will be built on other glibc versions -> hence broken system | 07:57 |

| LoneShadow | h1st0: thanks :) | 07:58 |
| [cd] | Eww , i never though about it | 07:58 |
| ankur | any one have idea | 07:58 |
| ankur | ? | 07:58 |
| evfan42 | I get a root error when trying to install 7.10 into a different partition | 07:59 |
| * [cd] is officaly ended his project | 07:59 | |

| usser | moving files to trash works very slow, and theres bunch of errors in dmesg regarding cifs | 07:59 |
| Weng | Well. I found why the nVidia driver wasn't building. | 07:59 |
| xTheGoat121x | There seems to be something going on with my ACPI that is causing my fan to run alot... | 07:59 |
| Weng | I accidentally turned off the System V memory sharing module when I rebuilt the damned kernel. | 07:59 |
| ankur | how i use proxychains in ubuntu? | 07:59 |
| Weng | Which, apparently, it needs. | 07:59 |
| ankur | any one have idea? | 07:59 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| z9999 | Flannel - astro76: OK, you've presented me with some additional questions. | 08:00 |
| kelsin | [cd]: you're better off learning how to package things (ebuilds or debs) for whichever system you like better and just making packages for the few things either ubuntu or gentoo don't have that you want | 08:00 |
| z9999 | We would like to keep 6.06 installed as is until we can confirm that a newer version either eliminates previous hardware problems, wireless which now works fine, and audio which we still are having problems with. | 08:00 |
| z9999 | We also wish to keep our personal files intact and safe, allowing them to be accessed from either OS boot. | 08:00 |
| z9999 | I hadn't thought about differences in config files, but we have some very important files that need to be available for access while testing a new OS version. | 08:00 |
| z9999 | Currently we are trying to figure out how to make a new partition without losing any important files. We've never used parted and leery of doing anything without first understanding how it works. | 08:00 |
| * Weng <3 ancient mainframe memory models in his modern GPU drivers | 08:00 | |
| kelsin | z9999: if you do need to resize / make new partitions I recommend downloading the gparted live cd and using that | 08:00 |
| [cd] | well , i will on the leecher side then (the main goal to use all mangers) xD | 08:01 |
| kelsin | z9999: it's a gui, pretty easy to understand and in my experience works really well. Of course backup any important data before you do this | 08:01 |
| evfan42 | can someone help me? I cant get 7.10 to install, I get a root error when I try to use the partition I set up for it | 08:01 |
| h1st0 | nitrix: there is lighttpd and a sleu of others | 08:02 |
| h1st0 | evfan42: how are you creating the partition that you want to use for it? | 08:03 |
| WGGMk | whats the command to format a HD completely | 08:03 |
| evfan42 | gnome partition editor | 08:03 |
| h1st0 | z9999: gparted may be the way to go. or cfdisk something more graphical. | 08:04 |
| WGGMk | evfan42: no GUI command plz | 08:04 |
| z9999 | MatthewV: Would the live CD boot allow us to determine if the wireless is installed and works, and the audio also? These are the two pieces of hardware we have had the most problems getting to work. | 08:04 |
| dns53 | WGGMk: what do you want to format and what file type? | 08:04 |
| h1st0 | evfan42: What is the error you are getting? | 08:04 |
| evfan42 | h1st0: No root file system is defined | 08:05 |
| evfan42 | thats the error I get | 08:05 |
| MatthewV | z9999, they would tell you if it worked out of the box... ie if it works out of the box then it will do the same once installed, however, if you need a lot of tweaking, you may not be able to try all that from the live cd | 08:05 |
| WGGMk | dns53: I want to format an external 500GB USB External HD... standby for file system type | 08:05 |
| MatthewV | z9999, since this is a much newer version though , there's a good chance that even what you had trouble with before will now work without issue | 08:05 |
| z9999 | kelsin: I believe we have parted and gparted installed from the package manager. Is the live cd you mention something different? | 08:06 |
| evfan42 | H1st0 do you mind if I im'ed you | 08:06 |
| kelsin | z9999: yes, it's a bootable live cd that you can download from the gparted website and boot with. Just allows you to play with all partitions on the system | 08:07 |
| h1st0 | evfan42: you have to mark the partition as / | 08:07 |
| avis | will gparted non-destructively resize a ext3 partition ? | 08:07 |
| robo | net | 08:07 |
| h1st0 | evfan42: no I don't care if you msg me | 08:07 |

| WGGMk | dns53: sorry i seem to forget the command to list the current filesystem type | 08:07 |
| kelsin | avis: (but obviously backup any important data, stuff can always go wrong) but I've had great experience with it resizing (grow and shrink) ntfs and ext3 partitions | 08:07 |
| h1st0 | avis: any time you resize you have to possibility of losing data. | 08:07 |
| avis | thank you | 08:08 |
| astro76 | z9999, the livecd we are talking about is the ubuntu install cd | 08:08 |
| h1st0 | avis: I've never lost anything but its possible. | 08:08 |
| WGGMk | dns53: id like to keep it the same as my root filing system unless there is beniefts of others for strictly storage that will be accessed frequently and updating frequently | 08:08 |
| kelsin | z9999: the live cd I'm talking about is the gparted cd, I was just pointing it out as a good solution to resize and make new partitions, I'm NOT talking about configuring the new ubuntu install after | 08:08 |
| h1st0 | evfan42: Once you create teh partition you also need to select the mount point for it in the installer. Like / which would be the root partition. | 08:08 |
| WGGMk | dns53: so my root file system is ext3 | 08:09 |
| dns53 | well the easy way is use gparted. you need to create a partition if you have not. there is usually a tool for each file system | 08:09 |
| Saelynh | thanks dolphin_noel | 08:10 |
| evfan42 | h1st0: thanks, for some reason I couldn't get it but it works now | 08:10 |
| astro76 | WGGMk, the command is mkfs.ext3 | 08:10 |
| h1st0 | evfan42: Yeah thats all you just need to specify the mount point. Make sure you also create a partition for /swap as well. | 08:11 |
| dns53 | thanks, i could not remember it myself either | 08:11 |
| evfan42 | yeah I have a swap from the last one | 08:11 |
| h1st0 | evfan42: Just FYI you could let he installer set up the partitions for you. | 08:11 |
| weyer | hi, i'm having trouble to mount an external usb drive as regular user | 08:11 |
| z9999 | kelsin + astro76: Currently we have sda1 32 kb to 99 Gb ext3, and sda2 99 Gb to 100 Gb, which I believe is used as sda5 which shows to be a 1.3 Gb swap. | 08:11 |
| WGGMk | astro76: and that will format the existing partitions and make and ext3 partition after format? is this similar to fdisk? | 08:11 |
| weyer | mounting as root works fine, but i can't mount from inside gnome | 08:11 |
| h1st0 | evfan42: and if you insist on doing it manually I would make a seperate /home partition. That way if you reinstall or switch distros all your data and settings are saved. | 08:11 |
| === zac_ is now known as themoebius | ||
| weyer | any ideas where to start? | 08:11 |
| evfan42 | h1st0:I already had a partition for windows that I didn't wont to lose | 08:12 |
| h1st0 | weyer: what are you trying to mount. | 08:12 |
| kelsin | WGGMk: the mkfs commands only deal with the filesystems. I edit the partitions on the disk you need to use fdisk / cfdisk or a gui program like gparted | 08:12 |
| kelsin | WGGMk: *to edit I meant | 08:12 |
| h1st0 | evfan42: Yeah if you jgust leave free space the installer does its job and won't touch windows with out telling you. | 08:12 |
| weyer | h1st0: external "enclosure" usb disk, with a maxtor inside | 08:12 |
| h1st0 | weyer: should just plug it in. | 08:12 |
| WGGMk | kelsin: so to properly format and lay down a filing system use mkfs,ext3? | 08:12 |
| evfan42 | h1st0: alright, thx | 08:12 |
| Indiadev_Techie | Hi every body... | 08:12 |
| astro76 | WGGMk, Yes it will create the filesystem, therefore formatting it. fdisk creates partitions but you already have a partition | 08:13 |
| Indiadev_Techie | can i setup ubuntu as a server n windows machines as clients.... | 08:13 |
| kelsin | WGGMk: once you have a partition that you want to have formatted ext3, that command will do it | 08:13 |
| kelsin | Indiadev_Techie: a server for what? | 08:13 |
| WGGMk | astro76, dns53, kelsin: thanks for the help guys | 08:13 |
| h1st0 | WGGMk: partitions are containers that tell the data where the start and end are. If that makes more sense | 08:13 |
| Indiadev_Techie | file sharing & communication.... | 08:13 |
| weyer | h1st0: Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume. | 08:13 |
| bidioule_ | hi channel | 08:13 |
| WGGMk | h1st0: thanks for the helpful analogy | 08:13 |
| astro76 | Indiadev_Techie, you could run a virtual machine | 08:13 |
| weyer | h1st0: that's what i get when i plug it in | 08:14 |
| astro76 | !vm | Indiadev_Techie | 08:14 |
| kelsin | Indiadev_Techie: you can have a ubuntu server share files via the windows file sharing mechanisms | 08:14 |
| ubotu | Indiadev_Techie: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 08:14 |
| astro76 | Indiadev_Techie, misread your question... ignore me | 08:14 |
| kelsin | Indiadev_Techie: as far as communications, I don't know what you mean by that | 08:14 |
| Wayn2 | hey all | 08:14 |
| h1st0 | WGGMk: then when you format you are just formating inside of that partition. | 08:14 |
| Indiadev_Techie | i want to setup ubuntu as a surver since windows 2003 server license in very costly.... n it limits u to number of pcs..... | 08:15 |
| Indiadev_Techie | kelsin: i mean ircd for communication... | 08:15 |
| bidioule_ | here is my problem : i have recently bought an ASUS Z99N, installed ubuntu, and it appears that during the booting, it sometimes freezes. i have found out that launching a memtest before booting reduces the likelyhood of a freezing, and i'm lost about what to do next to fix it | 08:15 |
| Indiadev_Techie | we have hp workstaion in our campus/academy | 08:15 |
| kelsin | IRC is OS independent, you can definitely get an ubuntu server to share files via samba and run an irc server | 08:16 |
| Wayn2 | i got a question for anyone of you | 08:16 |
| kelsin | bidioule_: I would try disabling acpi, it's a boot parameter, and see if that helps | 08:16 |
| rgnr | where do i install java | 08:17 |
| themoebius | hey do you guys know what the deal is with the official ati drivers? do i need to install it from their .run file or is the version in the ubuntu repositories best? | 08:17 |
| nitrix | whats a simple httpd for ubuntu? lighttpd doesnt work... | 08:17 |
| kelsin | rgnr: to install java you just type "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" there is no "where" unless you're doing something very tricky | 08:17 |
| bidioule_ | kelsin : it seems to freeze almost always at the same point, i can see that during a recovery-session boot | 08:17 |
| Indiadev_Techie | nitrix : apache... | 08:17 |
| kelsin | bidioule_: what point? | 08:17 |
| nitrix | apache is not simple | 08:18 |
| kelsin | nitrix: people have gotten lighhttpd to work, what was the issue? | 08:18 |
| Indiadev_Techie | nitrix: it just luk to be not simple... | 08:18 |
| bidioule_ | kelsin : would you know what is the file logging the output of the booting process ? i'll post my problem on a forum, it seems kind of crowded in here... | 08:18 |
| kelsin | /var/log/messages I think... I could be wrong | 08:18 |
| bidioule_ | ok i'll check out, thanks for the help | 08:19 |
| dns53 | rgnr sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre there is also 5 and icetea | 08:19 |
| Indiadev_Techie | astro76 : i dont wanna run VM instead i wanna setup a server for windows client o that we can share files, communicate thro ircd & browse internet..... | 08:20 |
| nitrix | i downloaded lighthttpd, ./configure then make and im lost... | 08:21 |
| kelsin | Indiadev_Techie: you can definitely do that on ubuntu, depending on exact requirements it will require some learning / google | 08:21 |
| kelsin | nitrix: install it with the ubuntu packages | 08:21 |
| nitrix | ? | 08:21 |
| nitrix | how | 08:21 |
| kelsin | sudo apt-get install lighttpd | 08:21 |
| nitrix | doesnt work | 08:22 |
| nitrix | tried b4 | 08:22 |
| usser | nitrix, doesnt install? | 08:22 |
| kelsin | nitrix: and when you're at it it would be a good idea to browse ubuntu documentation, you should never be installing from source unless you have a specific reason to be | 08:22 |
| nitrix | packet lighthttpd is not avail. | 08:22 |
| Indiadev_Techie | n one morr question.... does ubuntu v7.10 have ntfs read/write feature ??? | 08:22 |
| kelsin | you probably have to enable the universe and multiverse repos | 08:22 |
| usser | Indiadev_Techie, yes | 08:22 |
| nitrix | gay | 08:22 |
| Indiadev_Techie | usser: gr888888888888888888 | 08:23 |
| kelsin | !universe | 08:23 |

| Indiadev_Techie | i luv ubuntu | 08:23 |
| astro76 | nitrix, it would help if you spelled it right, lighttpd, also you could drop the offensive language in here thanks | 08:23 |
| romulo | hi, can you tell me if teh tracker tool can index NTFS partitions? | 08:25 |

| Chobotron | I installed MediaWiki1.10, but http://localhost/wiki doesn't do anthing... what else do i need to set up??? | 08:27 |

| ompaul | rattts, how much ram | 08:51 |
| MatthewV | delano, i think that's the size of the NEW partition, where the percentage is hte percentage of the old partition the new partition will take up.. you could always go 50% and you couldn't be wrong :P | 08:51 |
| H264_laptop | adamadam20074: I was told that the open source drivers for ATI work better with anything lower than the ATI X1300 | 08:51 |

| rattts | or 56 mb | 08:51 |
| delano | ompaul: thanks | 08:51 |
| MatthewV | would abiword on xubuntu be too heavy? /me thinks it would... | 08:51 |
| delano | ompaul: so, say I slide it to 95% (139.5 in my case) | 08:52 |
| ompaul | rattts, ehh maybe 56mb - check out DSL not a great UI but in terms of a box that small it rocks | 08:52 |
| adamadam20074 | ok how do i install the open source driver? | 08:52 |
| rattts | wat about an old version of ubuntu? | 08:52 |
| delano | ompaul: the 139g will be the size of my current ntds partition, right? | 08:52 |

| h1st0 | rattts: ubuntu would be fine for that. | 08:53 |
| rattts | the newest version? | 08:53 |
| ompaul | delano, correct, however you should give the ubuntu O/S a chance and give it 15/20Gigs so you can keep installing stuff without pain | 08:53 |
| h1st0 | rattts: or puppy linux or damn small linux there are tons of variants | 08:53 |
| h1st0 | rattts: of small os's out there. | 08:53 |
| crdlb | h1st0: ubuntu is fine on 56MB of ram? O_o | 08:53 |
| rattts | lol | 08:53 |
| h1st0 | crdlb: rattts sure running in console mode | 08:53 |
| ompaul | rattts, check out distrowatch.com cos ubuntu is too heavy | 08:53 |
| rattts | lol | 08:53 |
| rattts | ok thanx | 08:54 |
| delano | ompaul: well, it's a 160g drive, so 139 would still leave behind 19g | 08:54 |
| h1st0 | rattts: do you need a gui? then install ubuntu comand line and install flux or some lighter weight wb | 08:54 |
| crdlb | h1st0: I don't think that's how he would interpret that :) | 08:54 |
| h1st0 | rattts: wm | 08:54 |
| rattts | windows xp ran fine on this comp by the way | 08:54 |
| rattts | so now wat do u think | 08:54 |
| h1st0 | ompaul: no its not if you stay away from ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop packages. | 08:54 |
| mathen | Ok, I can't move my windows or make them smaller or bigger ( I reseted the settings in Compiz to standard, so I don't think the error belongs there anymore ) | 08:54 |
| h1st0 | rattts: how much ram does it have? | 08:54 |
| rattts | im not sure. it has no os atm | 08:54 |
| rattts | so i forgot | 08:55 |
| rattts | either 128 or 56 | 08:55 |
| rattts | i think 128 mb | 08:55 |
| h1st0 | rattts:probably 128 | 08:55 |
| h1st0 | try xubuntu out | 08:55 |
| rattts | ok thanx | 08:55 |
| rattts | xubuntu is lightweight? | 08:55 |
| === our is now known as Sir_Fawnpug | ||
| h1st0 | yes | 08:55 |
| H264_laptop | adamadam20074: this looks like a good place to start.... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 08:55 |
| rattts | thanx. that will do | 08:55 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Never operate a computer when drinking | 08:55 |
| rattts | cya im off to download xubuntu | 08:55 |
| h1st0 | and if thats not light enough you can install a command line systme and install an even lighter weight window manager | 08:55 |
| ompaul | delano, I will say this however the more you give ubuntu the more you can do with it - I share with with windows by giving windows 0% of every hard drive in my house ;-) | 08:56 |
| delano | k I'm off | 08:56 |
| h1st0 | rattts: but xubuntu will be fine with those specs | 08:56 |
| delano | Haha | 08:56 |
| pg | I want to create a dual boot disk, with a new Gutsy installation and a Feisty installation copied from another disk (but created on the same machine). I partitioned the disk, installed Gutsy on one partition, dd'ed the Feisty installation onto the other partition, and added stanzas for the Feisty partition to /boot/grub/menu.lst. But booting does not work. First it couldn't boot the Feisty installation, now it boots it but without | 08:56 |
| delano | ompaul: I run a program called ext2fs | 08:56 |
| delano | ompaul: it allows windows to read/write to linux partitions | 08:56 |
| ompaul | pg, you never finished that line first time | 08:56 |
| ompaul | delano, that is horrible | 08:56 |
| delano | Nah, it's really useful | 08:57 |
| delano | Now xp and ubuntu can play nice :S | 08:57 |
| pg | sorry - what should I finish? | 08:57 |
| kritzstapf | delano: there a filesystem-drivers for ext2 for windows | 08:57 |
| ompaul | pg you finish at the point: First it couldn't boot the Feisty installation, now it boots it but withou | 08:57 |
| delano | Anyway, toodles | 08:57 |
| adamonline | 'ndiswrapper.ko' could not be found, has anyone dealt with this before when doing 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'? | 08:58 |
| pg | ompaul: first it wouldn't boot the Feisty installation, now it boots it without drivers, and now it doesn't boot the Gutsy installation anymore | 08:58 |
| timsandtoms | Heeeey... What do I type to use a tar.bz2? | 08:58 |
| pg | ompaul: I think it was reading different menu.lst files these two times. | 08:59 |
| H264_laptop | adamadam20074: how is the process going? | 08:59 |
| stefano | i've wrote a paper on how to create an encrypted nas with ubuntu, but i'm not a native english speaker. could someone take a look at it and correct the mistakes i made? | 08:59 |
| pg | impaul: it's booting the Feisty installation but with the Gutsy kernel, so the kernel modules don't get loaded correctly | 09:00 |
| ompaul | pg, sounds more like a broken upgrade than a new install - the description does not match what you are suggesting happened :-( however I will have the bot message you something that may help | 09:00 |
| FreeFall | hi I am a linux n00b. I had had enough of ms shit and I thought ubuntu would be the most user friendly for me. I was wondering if there is a codec pack similar to k-lite or nimo for linux | 09:00 |
| FreeFall | totem is not working | 09:00 |
| ompaul | pg, now I am sure of what I suggested | 09:00 |
| H264_laptop | FreeFall: video or sound codec? | 09:00 |
| FreeFall | video | 09:01 |
| pg | impaul: OK... | 09:01 |
| H264_laptop | FreeFall: there is ffmpeg for the command line... | 09:01 |
| H264_laptop | for converting anyway | 09:01 |
| FreeFall | ok | 09:01 |
| ompaul | pg try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -- however I think you should back up any data you have and start again | 09:01 |
| pg | ompaul: I can try copying the installation, then installing if that will help | 09:01 |
| H264_laptop | FreeFall: what do you want to do? | 09:01 |
| FreeFall | play .avi files | 09:02 |
| FreeFall | I torrent alot | 09:02 |
| FreeFall | legaly | 09:02 |
| FreeFall | ...yes | 09:02 |
| pg | ompaul: I mean I can copy the Feisty installation, then install Gutsy on another partition | 09:02 |
| usser | FreeFall, u can install vlc player | 09:02 |
| H264_laptop | FreeFall: ah... then download the VLC media player... the best there is | 09:02 |
| FreeFall | I know | 09:02 |
| FreeFall | I hates vlc | 09:02 |
| nikosapi_ | hello, I'm doing an alternate install on a machine that has no possibility of connecting to the internet, I selected a different language (French) and it said it could download some additional dictionaries, etc. How would I go about finishing the language installation? | 09:02 |
| FreeFall | oh well | 09:02 |
| FreeFall | if I got to I got to | 09:02 |
| h1st0 | !codec > FreeFall (Please see the private message from ubotu) | 09:02 |
| stefano | it is five pages, could somebody please take a look at it? i'd be glad | 09:02 |
| FreeFall | what about kaffine? | 09:02 |
| ompaul | pg do this, using a live CD examine your machine and move your home directory to somewhere safe or that you are sure of and then start your processes again | 09:02 |
| usser | FreeFall, or mplayer or xine | 09:03 |
| H264_laptop | FreeFall: hehe... I love it myself ;) | 09:03 |
| usser | FreeFall, kaffeine is pretty cool | 09:03 |
| usser | FreeFall, i loved it | 09:03 |
| ompaul | pg I have to go later and enjoy the learning ;-) | 09:03 |
| bullgard4 | When havong Freenode, how can one put to good use OFTC in addition? | 09:03 |
| usser | FreeFall, u'd have to tinker with the codecs a bit to make it work properly | 09:03 |
| t1n0m3n | I have been to several channels in search of a problem resolution, I have yet to find a fix to my issue. I am running kubuntu 7.10 x64 and I am getting internet slowness (7.2 KBps) across the internet only. I have an XP machine that D/L files at 600+ KBps on the same lan, and I have another HD with kubuntu 7.10 32 bit that downloads the same as my XP machine. A weird piece is that samba downloads from my XP machine to my 7 | 09:03 |
| t1n0m3n | nered, but no one seems to be able to give me further help. If anyone thinks they can shed light on what is happening, I welcome some direction. | 09:03 |
| FreeFall | is there anything else that I should be doing to my ubuntu that might not of been in the 7.10 pack? | 09:03 |
| pg | ompaul: thanks: just one question: does it matter what is put on teh disk first: the old installation or the new one? | 09:04 |
| usser | FreeFall, what do u mean? | 09:04 |
| ompaul | pg no | 09:04 |
| FreeFall | sorry to rattle off questions | 09:04 |
| FreeFall | I just want so bad to be done with microsoft | 09:04 |
| H264_laptop | FreeFall: DVD::Rip | 09:04 |
| astro76 | FreeFall, since you are interested in media... start with ubuntu-restricted-extras, and libdvdcss2 from medibuntu | 09:04 |
| astro76 | !medibuntu | FreeFall | 09:05 |
| ubotu | FreeFall: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 09:05 |
| FreeFall | cool | 09:05 |
| FreeFall | thanks | 09:05 |
| FreeFall | sorry for being such a newbie | 09:05 |
| FreeFall | I found this site | 09:05 |
| FreeFall | and I figured the irc probaably better than trolling around the net all night | 09:06 |
| FreeFall | figuring out what to get | 09:06 |
| astro76 | FreeFall, that will set you up with all the codecs and encrypted dvd support | 09:06 |
| FreeFall | awesome | 09:06 |
| FreeFall | thank you guys so much | 09:06 |
| H264_laptop | FreeFall: that is what this channel is here for :) | 09:06 |
| astro76 | FreeFall, and flash, java, and ms fonts ;) | 09:06 |
| FreeFall | also I am using bitchx is that the best irc for linux it was the only one I know from when I made eggdrops | 09:06 |
| astro76 | FreeFall, popular ones are irssi, xchat, and bitchx | 09:07 |
| gRnt | Is anyone able to help me out with my dyndns issue I know its not directly ubuntu related but im sure someone here uses it | 09:07 |
| FreeFall | fuck xchat | 09:07 |
| astro76 | !ohmy | 09:07 |
| ubotu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 09:07 |

| H264_laptop | astro76: assuming he is using 32bit Ubuntu... in my case I can not (really) use flash on my computers because this laptop is PowerPC and desktop is 64bit.. | 09:08 |
| t1n0m3n | gRnt: I just joined, what is your dyndns issue? | 09:09 |
| timsandtoms | hey guys, what do I put into terminal to open a .tar.bz2 after i get to the right directory | 09:09 |
| gRnt | t1n0m3n other can access the server but any of the servers on my home network only get the option to log into my router. I know you can change your hosts file on windows but that didnt fix it | 09:09 |
| astro76 | H264_laptop, good point, FreeFall you might also consider sticking with 32bit ubuntu, even if 64bit is an option for you | 09:10 |
| gRnt | for example if I gave you the URL it'd work for you but not here locally | 09:10 |
| stefano | timsandtoms, tat -jvf yourarchive.tar.bz2 | 09:10 |
| timsandtoms | :D awesome, thanks | 09:10 |
| stefano | sorry timsandtoms no | 09:10 |
| stefano | thats xjf | 09:10 |
| astro76 | timsandtoms, tar xjvf | 09:10 |
| stefano | either way :-) | 09:10 |
| timsandtoms | ah, thanks guys :) | 09:10 |
| ttt- | hi, what does ./ do exactly? im trying to add a shortcut to thunderbird to my panel | 09:11 |
| astro76 | yeah v is verbose | 09:11 |
| t1n0m3n | gRnt: what is in your hosts file? | 09:11 |
| FreeFall | what is amak engine? | 09:11 |
| gRnt | windows or nix? | 09:11 |
| astro76 | ttt-, ./ is current directory, ../ is one directory up | 09:11 |
| FreeFall | amarok-engine | 09:11 |
| ttt- | astro76: but you need it to execute a program? ./thunderbird works.. but thunderbird doesnt | 09:11 |
| ttt- | in the terminal | 09:11 |
| gRnt | for windows its 192.168.1.100 http://dyndns account | 09:11 |
| gRnt | so thats obviously the servers static and the dyndns it should link to | 09:12 |
| gRnt | actually its | 09:12 |
| gRnt | for windows its 192.168.1.100 http://dyndns account/torrentflux/ | 09:12 |
| astro76 | ttt-, in the terminal you need to specify the full path to execute a program, unless that program is in your path, and ./ is the shortest way of specifying the full path ;) | 09:12 |
| stefano | i hate to ask again but could somebody please take a quick look over my paper and check for mistakes? | 09:12 |
| H264_laptop | FreeFall: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ is your friend... you can look up any packages and descriptions there :) | 09:12 |
| t1n0m3n | gRnt: That doesnt look right, it should be whatever you set the account to update, not the actual url to the account | 09:13 |
| ttt- | astro76: thanks for the help | 09:13 |
| gRnt | come again | 09:13 |
| gRnt | 192.168.1.100 is the ip of the server, which is what its updating? | 09:14 |
| astro76 | ttt-, for the shortcut.. you will want to specify full path if it's not in $PATH, without using ./ | 09:14 |
| ttt- | yeah, it worked like you said | 09:14 |

| astro76 | soldats, sure, there's 6 virtual consoles, you have bash job control, and there's screen | 09:52 |
| MilhousePunkRock | soldats: "$COMMAND &" will get you back to she shell while command is executed IIRC | 09:52 |
| soldats | astro76, thats what i though using F1 and such correct | 09:52 |
| soldats | MilhousePunkRock, i know that command in terminal but it only was working while i was in an X session | 09:53 |
| astro76 | soldats, yes alt+F1 through F6, and as MilhousePunkRock said you can background a task right away with &, search for bash job control for more info | 09:53 |

| MilhousePunkRock | kakoonia: Maybe the package is called differently.. How did you install it? | 10:08 |
| fx|RabBi1 | you cant apt-get install/remove that | 10:08 |

| veni | could some one please tell me, what is the difference between the updates installed through update manager and manually executing apt-get dist upgrade | 10:25 |
| soldats | veni, not much as far as i could tell | 10:26 |
| Symmetria | heh Im switching one of my servers to ubuntu linux because of hardware support | 10:26 |
| Symmetria | 10gig network cards ftw <3 | 10:26 |
| veni | conside, for example, i have ubuntu fiesty and i want to upgrade my system to gutsy | 10:26 |
| astro76 | !upgrade | veni | 10:27 |
| ubotu | veni: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 10:27 |
| veni | then i execute the apt-get dist upgrade, by connecting to gutsy | 10:27 |
| veni | but, will this install packages which are newly added in the gutsy CD and not in fiesty ? | 10:27 |
| kane77 | what can I use to find out "fitness" of a harddisk? (something other than fsck) | 10:27 |
| soldats | kane77, df | 10:28 |
| idiosync | astro76: thanks its running now.. | 10:28 |
| astro76 | veni, as long as you still have ubuntu-desktop package installed, yes you would get new stuff on the cd, basically | 10:28 |
| soldats | in terminal | 10:28 |
| veni | astro76, could u tell me a bit clearer | 10:28 |
| kane77 | soldats, not actually free space.. I mean it failed to mount... | 10:28 |
| astro76 | veni, I'm not quite sure what is the question | 10:29 |
| soldats | oh sorry i misread what exactly happened | 10:29 |
| astro76 | veni, the entire system will be upgraded to gutsy | 10:30 |
| bullgard4 | When having Freenode, how can one put to good use OFTC in addition? | 10:30 |
| kane77 | soldats, it failed to mount and even bios didn't see the harddrive.. so I'm kind of worried about it's health and want to find more about it... | 10:30 |
| idiosync | would you know how much it has too download to gutsy Gb..? | 10:31 |
| astro76 | veni, and ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage which refers to the base desktop install, so you would also get any new programs which are added to the base install, which is what the livecd is | 10:31 |
| soldats | kane77, is it plugged in correctly | 10:31 |
| rosen | i cant install that driver | 10:31 |
| kane77 | soldats, well I turned off the computer and pluged it out and back in and now it mounted ok... | 10:31 |

| soldats | kane77, so it works now? | 10:32 |
| kane77 | soldats, yes | 10:32 |

| astro76 | fx|RabBi1, fyi, just because you are uploading doesn't mean ports are forwarded | 10:38 |

| Smegzor | What is the linux equivalent of the Windows sysinfo program? | 10:45 |
| stefg | umop: BTW using the 'at' command or crontab you can schedule any action on a linux box if you know console commands. so you can use any torrent client that can autostart transfers and start it at a given time via crontab | 10:45 |

| fx|RabBi1 | MilhousePunkRock: 27096 and thats udp?? | 10:47 |
| MilhousePunkRock | fx|RabBi1: Hmm... | 10:48 |
| Smegzor | Its supposed to be 64 bit but I installed 4 gigs (the mobo is an Intel) and the system is reporting only ~3.5 gigs total. | 10:48 |
| stefg | umop: a lot of clients can scan a defined dir for new torrents on a regular basis and add them to the queue. so you can fill up that dir when you stumble upon an interesting torrent, and just have a cron job to start the client at night (which will then read the accumulated torrents and enqueue them) | 10:49 |
| fx|RabBi1 | MilhousePunkRock: i forwarded 27096 too and now it works-.- | 10:49 |
| fx|RabBi1 | didnt see that one anywhere in options... | 10:49 |

| MilhousePunkRock | fx|RabBi1: Look into the general settings, is the port you mentioned there? | 10:51 |
| fx|RabBi1 | Abu-Aadam: depends on the cypher u use basically its a 2048 bit encryption so the answer is maybe in a hundred years | 10:51 |
| fx|RabBi1 | MilhousePunkRock: nope deffinitely NOT its 4444 in there | 10:51 |
| stefg | umop: i use azureus. that's a heavy bastard, but i have a dedicated box for torrent/ftp/file transfer, so it doesn't matter. check the feature list of the clients mentioned earlier by ubotu, it's a pretty widespread feature | 10:52 |
| MilhousePunkRock | fx|RabBi1: And the UDP tracker port in "Downloads"? | 10:52 |
| Abu-Aadam | fx|RabBi, thats good | 10:52 |

| umop | stefg, ok fair enough, i was avoiding azerus for that reason even though i have a similar setup to you, thanks | 10:53 |

| fx|RabBi1 | MilhousePunkRock: anyways my download is floating between 60 and 100K now... | 10:54 |
| fx|RabBi1 | MilhousePunkRock: OOOHHHHH i see! | 10:55 |

| volk | gRntLINUX, you're wellcome | 12:06 |
| _Dbug_ | Hi. I have a question about GRUB: Is it possible to configure it so by default it will run the last selected option ? If i'm doing some Linux stuff I want to restart on Linux, but if I'm rebooting Windows after installing a driver or something, i'd like to reboot by default on Windows. Is this possible ? | 12:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Dbug_: i don't think so..., is it that difficult to select one of the menu options? | 12:06 |
| gRntLINUX | Actually while I'm here (god I hate being new to all of this) Whats the best method of getting RSS feeds for ubuntu torrentflux | 12:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | !rss | gRntLINUX | 12:07 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rss - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 12:07 |
| _Dbug_ | IndyGunFreak, just that it means you have to stay on the computer during all the shut-down, bios init, drive detection, boot detection process. Sounds suboptimal no ? | 12:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | i thought that was a bot signal, guess not. | 12:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Dbug_: huh?... if yu're installing drivers, updating, etc, and it causes you to restart, aren't you going to at least let the system boot up to make sure its working? | 12:08 |
| Kr0ntab | thani, history -c | 12:08 |
| _Dbug_ | IndyGunFreak, of course I do test, but during the 2 minutes break I assume I can go fetch something in the fridge, do a phone call, go to the toilets, read the news paper, instead of having to stay in front of the computer being attentive not missing the few seconds for selecting the option. | 12:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Dbug_: well, if you only have a few seconds, perhaps you could change your menu.lst to give you more time or something, i really don't know. | 12:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | i've got mine set for 30sec and it works fine. | 12:10 |
| _Dbug_ | Ok | 12:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Dbug_: is that the issue, having to hit esc in like 3sec to get the grub menu, or you go right back to windows? | 12:11 |
| gRntLINUX | volk: I used the move function in winscp to move a file from the linux server to windows. It copied it but couldnt delete it and it threw an error, are files copy protected by default? | 12:11 |
| gauteh | gRntLINUX: it is probably opened by some program | 12:12 |
| gauteh | gRntLINUX: try killing/closing all programs that could use the file, including explorer some times and restart | 12:12 |
| _Dbug_ | IndyGunFreak, no, the issue is just that it always starts Linux by default. Even my Atari MegaSTE using XBoot remembers the last used configuration by default, instead of booting on the first one. I'm just surprised that it was not available. I guess I can still patch GRUB at some point to get that to work :) | 12:12 |
| gauteh | gRntLINUX: if not then the file might be damaged and you might need to run chkdsk or something | 12:12 |
| Micheru | hello all, i just installed ubuntu, but grub isn't picking up my windows install, i used the live cd, used manual to wipe out a 20 gb partition and make a 15.5 gig root partition and a 500mb swap. the windows install is still intact. how would i get windows (media center) in the boot list? | 12:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: explain your partition set up | 12:13 |
| Smegzor | When I boot into failsafe mode, I see lots of messages during bootup followed by the login screen, but if I boot normally, I get no video signal immediately after grub right until the login screen appears. Why is this and how do I make it show me the boot up messages? I just had my first 30 mount forced check and my screen was blank for 30 minutes! :| | 12:14 |
| Micheru | ok on 1 hard drive i have a ~50 windows partition and a 15.5 linux and a 500mb swap, is there anything else you need? | 12:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | well, sorta, but try this.., hold on. | 12:15 |
| Micheru | ok | 12:15 |
| Micheru | the device is hdc, dunno the partition numbers | 12:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: ok, is it windows XP? | 12:16 |
| Micheru | media center | 12:16 |
| Patchak | hi I would like to install a full web server onmy ubuntu install, any application that does it all for me or I need to install each pieces separate;y?? | 12:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: XP media center, or Vista? | 12:16 |
| Micheru | xp | 12:16 |
| IdleOne | !lamp | Patchak | 12:17 |
| ubotu | Patchak: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 12:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: ok, open a terminal | 12:17 |
| Micheru | done | 12:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: now type this.. sudo /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | then enter your password | 12:17 |
| Micheru | command not found gksudo gedit? | 12:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: sorry, that command is wrong.... sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:18 |
| Ballena | How do I share files between a Mac and a Linux system in a local network? | 12:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | got a little overszealous there. | 12:18 |
| Micheru | no problem | 12:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | is your grub menu.lst open? | 12:18 |
| Micheru | ok i am in | 12:18 |
| Micheru | yes | 12:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | scroll to the bottom | 12:18 |
| Smegzor | So is there a way to get a verbose bootup instead of the current blank screen of DOOM bootup? | 12:19 |
| Micheru | yeah | 12:19 |
| symtab | hello | 12:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: go to this link, and add those 5 lines to the bottom. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46427/ | 12:19 |
| symtab | anyone that knows how to exclude some packages when running apt-get upgrade, but i want to exclude from a configuration file not every time i run apt-get upgrade | 12:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: not including the numbers of course. | 12:19 |
| user1 | I installed ubuntu 7.04 how to upgrade to 7.10 | 12:19 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: ok doing | 12:19 |
| Abu-Aadam | I am running this sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda | 12:19 |
| Abu-Aadam | is it going to nuke my OS? | 12:19 |
| Tuplanolla | Smegzor: the key word is "usplash". google for "how to remove usplash ubuntu" | 12:20 |
| Abu-Aadam | because things aren't working | 12:20 |
| user1 | Abu-Aadam: are you crazy? | 12:20 |
| Smegzor | thanks | 12:20 |
| digitori | Ballena: on your task bar you will see a little computer icon on the left click it and then click remote places | 12:20 |
| IdleOne | !upgrade | user1 | 12:20 |
| ubotu | user1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 12:20 |
| Patchak | IdleOne, I tries to install LAMP like in the instructions on the ubuntu help page, and the debian package instaler actually erased more than 400 packages, I had t reformat... | 12:20 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: done | 12:20 |
| Abu-Aadam | user1: that answers my question thankyou | 12:20 |
| Micheru | reboot? | 12:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: save the file, restart, and select XP from your grub list, and see if it works | 12:20 |
| Micheru | ok i will see you soon either way | 12:21 |
| Ballena | digitori: in Ubuntu you mean? | 12:21 |
| digitori | yes? | 12:21 |
| Abu-Aadam | user1: should I reinstall it now? | 12:21 |
| Ballena | ok | 12:21 |
| user1 | Abu-Aadam: no need to nuke before reinstdall usually | 12:21 |
| Abu-Aadam | user1: I'v already been running it for 40 minutes. Will it be done yet? And will all my files be messed up? | 12:22 |
| user1 | Abu-Aadam: it is very slow | 12:22 |
| user1 | Abu-Aadam: /dev/zero is faster | 12:22 |
| digitori | Ballena: Sorry I should have asked if you use ubuntu or kubuntu | 12:22 |
| Abu-Aadam | user1: I'm trying to fill it with random data | 12:23 |
| Smegzor | I'm not sure usplash is going to cure my total loss of video signal between grub and login. | 12:23 |
| Micheru | no luck | 12:23 |
| user1 | Abu-Aadam: what for | 12:23 |
| Abu-Aadam | user1: to make it impossible to determine how much data i'm actually trying to hide | 12:24 |
| Micheru | invalid or inexecutable something | 12:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: was it not in the list or it didn't boot windows? | 12:24 |
| Ballena | digitori: ok. But where do i find that "computer icon" Do you mean I should ope Nautuilius? | 12:24 |
| Nalleman | Hi, i Would like to set up a secondary screen, eg. use my TV with ubuntu. It works great on Windows but I don't seem to be able to enable "secondary screen" in ubuntu. Help someone? | 12:24 |
| Micheru | didn't boot | 12:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm | 12:24 |
| digitori | Bellena you are using Ubuntu yes? | 12:24 |
| Ballena | yes | 12:24 |
| user1 | Abu-Aadam: you have child pron there do you | 12:24 |
| user1 | Abu-Aadam: shred -n 1 /dev/something will be fater then dd urandom | 12:24 |
| digitori | Ballena: no hang I will reboot into Ubuntu, help you from there ok? | 12:24 |
| Ballena | digitori: ok :) | 12:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: any errors? | 12:25 |
| friendlysys | does dovecot use Maildir ? | 12:25 |
| digitori | ballena 1 minute. | 12:25 |
| Micheru | yeah | 12:25 |
| friendlysys | by default? | 12:25 |
| Micheru | "invalid or inexecutable " | 12:25 |
| Micheru | was in it | 12:25 |
| Smegzor | yay! I installed the startup manager (or I think I did). It has a tick box to show text during bootup :D | 12:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: strange, it sounds like we have a similar setup, adding those 5 lines to grub made XP boot fine for me. | 12:25 |
| Micheru | is it possible that the partitiion was made unbootable by thr partition editor?? | 12:26 |
| Abu-Aadam | user1: what I was initially asking is if sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda | 12:26 |
| Abu-Aadam | will destroy my files or not? | 12:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: pretty unlikely | 12:26 |
| Ballena | digitori: on Ubuntu now? | 12:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | !pastebin | Micheru go here and paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:27 |
| ubotu | Micheru go here and paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 12:27 |
| digitori | yeah one sec | 12:27 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: will do | 12:27 |
| Ballena | ok | 12:27 |
| franz__ | [installation] im trying to install (k)ubuntu in my friend's machine, and it's hanging in the 'Configuring Network" part | 12:27 |
| franz__ | & i don't even know how to debug it | 12:27 |
| user1 | Abu-Aadam: yes it will destroy all files etc on /dev/sda, that is on first SATA driver connected | 12:27 |
| Micheru | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46428/ | 12:28 |
| Abu-Aadam | user1: ok | 12:28 |
| digitori | Ballena: on your taskbar you see Places? | 12:28 |
| Ballena | digitori: yes | 12:28 |
| digitori | Ballena: click this then click network | 12:28 |
| user1 | why ubuntu distro names are so ghay? | 12:28 |
| user1 | *releases | 12:29 |
| Ballena | digitori: i may answer after a while. typing this on the mac but my PC is in the same room | 12:29 |
| IdleOne | !ohmy | user1 | 12:29 |
| ubotu | user1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 12:29 |
| Ballena | digitori: ok | 12:29 |
| digitori | Ballena ok | 12:29 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: did you see it? | 12:29 |
| Ballena | digitori: there is a "Windows Network" icon in there | 12:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: looking now. | 12:29 |
| digitori | ok click it | 12:29 |
| Abu-Aadam | user1: will most of my programs stay in memory before It finishes | 12:30 |
| digitori | Ballena: Click it | 12:30 |
| Ballena | digitori: ok | 12:30 |
| digitori | Ballena: do you also have a windows machine on your network? | 12:30 |
| user1 | Abu-Aadam: this is your only drive? | 12:30 |
| user1 | Abu-Aadam: then you should use a livecd probably, otherwise system will stop working before finishing cleaning | 12:31 |
| Micheru | the partition for the windows install appears to be hdc5 | 12:31 |
| Ballena | digitori: there I found a icon called "mshome" and it contained a icon with the same name as my Ubuntu syste,. Yes there a re several Windows computer in this network too. | 12:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: ok... | 12:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: hdc, is how linux sees the drive, | 12:31 |
| Abu-Aadam | user1: alright do I encrypt it from the live cd also> | 12:31 |
| digitori | Ballen: ah one sec | 12:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: Grub sees drives as hd0, hd1, hd2, etc.. | 12:31 |
| Ballena | digitori: maybe I have to do somthing on my MAC to get Ubuntu to work with it? | 12:31 |
| Micheru | what about the partitions? | 12:32 |
| user1 | Abu-Aadam: you have to have proper livecd, that supports used encryption mechanisms, usually it is easier to just encrypt 1 parition - for work documents etc | 12:32 |
| digitori | Ballena: This should help you http://pcworld.about.com/magazine/2312p180id122932.htm | 12:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: partitions same way, in your grub list, where it says (hd0,0).. the second number is the partition.. you can try changing it to 5 | 12:32 |
| Abu-Aadam | user1: does the ubuntu cd support that | 12:32 |
| Ballena | digitori: ok thans :) | 12:32 |
| Micheru | ok will do | 12:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: not sure how effective that will be though | 12:32 |
| Nalleman | please, can someone help me set up dualscreen? I dont have a clue. | 12:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | !twinview | Nalleman | 12:33 |
| ubotu | Nalleman: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead | 12:33 |

| gRntLINUX | Does anyone know how to set up file permissions in torrentflux. I need to set chmod 777 to a folder but I have been told any files added after the chmod dont take the same permissions. | 12:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: ok. | 12:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nalleman: what tye of video card? | 12:33 |
| digitori | Ballena: your welcome | 12:33 |
| Nalleman | IndyGunFreak, intel 945"something" | 12:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nalleman: good luck. | 12:34 |
| Nalleman | IndyGunFreak, ok? | 12:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nalleman: i don't believe there's intel drivers for dual screen.. is this a dualhead card, | 12:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | or two video cards, 1 onboard, one card, etc? | 12:35 |
| gRntLINUX | Does anyone know how to set up file permissions in torrentflux. I need to set chmod 777 to a folder but I have been told any files added after the chmod dont take the same permissions. | 12:35 |
| Nalleman | IndyGunFreak, i guess its one card. its in my laptop. it works great in Windows | 12:35 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: invalis device requested | 12:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nalleman: because there's windows drivers | 12:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: ok. | 12:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nalleman: if there wasn't a windows driver, it wouldn't work in Windows either | 12:36 |
| Nalleman | IndyGunFreak, ok, but to be honest. You dont have a clue if it works in ubuntu. | 12:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gRntLINUX: setting 777 I thought that was a no no | 12:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nalleman: well, i've got dual screens setup on my PC, and I've had intel graphics before, | 12:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nalleman: and i know there's no drivers for it. | 12:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | they run on the default vga drivers. | 12:37 |
| m13 | hello | 12:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | vesa | 12:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Morning IndyGunFreak | 12:37 |
| Nalleman | Ok. Better hold on to windows then... | 12:37 |
| sioux | hi can you try if linuxtv.org is up? here seema died | 12:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: morning it is. | 12:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: here anyhow.. :) | 12:37 |
| gRntLINUX | Jack_Sparrow: Mate told me that gave me read and write access to it | 12:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | :).. | 12:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: Sun is not up yet | 12:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: here neither. | 12:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | West coast here.. | 12:38 |
| bullgard4 | What is the function of the loaded module 'video'? modinfo: "ACPI Video Driver." | 12:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sorry for the offtopic people. | 12:38 |
| Micheru | i really need this fixed, do you have any more ideas? | 12:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: i've not forgot you, still trying to figure this out. | 12:38 |
| Micheru | ok | 12:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: any good with grub? | 12:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sometimes... whats up | 12:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: when you partitioned, did you put linux on the front side of the drive, or the backside? | 12:39 |
| mikebeecham | Someone with virtualbox experience....how come my resolution will only go as far as 1024 x 768? | 12:39 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: front, thats where the blank partition was | 12:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: he installed Gutsy, didn't pick up his XP install, i added a pretty garden variety entry to grub, and its still not booting. | 12:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: ah.. thats prolly gonna be the issue. | 12:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mikebeecham: that is the limit of vesa video driver.. start there.. no virt box experience here.. | 12:39 |
| Micheru | the swap is between the linux and windows partition | 12:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: no.. windows pisses and moans when its not first, IIRC. | 12:40 |
| sioux | who of you can check if linuxtv.oeg web site is up? here from it is unreacble | 12:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: who... start with fdisk -l to see where it is | 12:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | ya, | 12:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | now see, fdisk -l does nothing for me. | 12:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | ah, you need sudo. | 12:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: try this, sudo fdisk -l (note, thats a lowercase L) | 12:41 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: is there any way to move the windows partition, cause i don't have the install disks (it was a friends computer i have it while he is outta town and he accidentially packed the install disks) | 12:41 |
| Micheru | ok | 12:41 |
| sioux | who of you can check if linuxtv.org web site is up? here from it is unreacble | 12:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: did he post it yet? sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt will get it to his desktop | 12:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: i just told him to. | 12:42 |
| Micheru | i will pastebin the output | 12:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: ok. | 12:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: I like this command line for maiking copy to the desktop with the date in the filename | 12:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: never saw that one before, but its a good idea. | 12:42 |
| digitori | anyone know why this is in my network folder: dnssd-local-SFTP File Transfer on pc-00249._sftp-ssh._tcp.local | 12:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | might as well do cp /boot/grub/menu.lst ~/Desktop/menu.lst.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) at the same time | 12:43 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46430/ | 12:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: here's his menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46428/ | 12:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: ugh, he is mixing ide and sata drives too | 12:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: lol | 12:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: and hdc, you're sure thats the drive that has the Windows OS on it, right?.. | 12:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fea, fat 32 on sda is probably storage as I see it | 12:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: yeah, i think so, but i just wanted to make sure. | 12:45 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: the only other drive is an external drive | 12:45 |
| digitori | anyone know why this is seen in my ubuntu network folder: dnssd-local-SFTP File Transfer on pc-00249._sftp-ssh._tcp.local | 12:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: oh ok, thats why its sda | 12:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: i set his grub to look at hd0,5 seems to me it shoud work. | 12:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | line rootnoverify(hd2,4) | 12:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | remember they start at 0 | 12:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | 0 = 1 | 12:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | or first | 12:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | right, but its the only drive int he system, the sda is external. | 12:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sorry, still not entirely awakre | 12:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: did you see what Jack_Sparrowjust said? | 12:47 |
| Micheru | yeah i will give it a go | 12:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: ok... | 12:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | He cal also make a bunch of window entry combinations in that file and keep trying them | 12:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | try hd2,4.. | 12:48 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: done | 12:48 |
| jack | salve a tutti | 12:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: ok, give it a whirl. | 12:48 |
| Micheru | rebooting again hehe | 12:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but i was thinking for sure it had to be hd0(first drive) | 12:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: HIs drive is not setup correctly to begin with... it should be hda | 12:48 |
| IdleOne | if 0=1 ( first ) then 0+0=1 ( first & second ) | 12:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: ya, i know... | 12:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | was just trying to get windows booted. | 12:49 |
| kondrix | How do i check if i have GTK 2.2.x installed ? | 12:49 |
| digitori | anyone know why this is seen in my ubuntu network folder: dnssd-local-SFTP File Transfer on pc-00249._sftp-ssh._tcp.local | 12:49 |
| kondrix | GKT+ 2.2.x | 12:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | i see what you;'re saying | 12:50 |
| Cibercrank | asdf | 12:50 |
| digitori | kondrix: open synaptic package manager and search...dont know a quicker way | 12:50 |
| bef | Goodnight Ubuntu | 12:50 |
| kondrix | digitori: if i happen to find it and it will be in older version, can i update some how? | 12:50 |
| tapas | ls | 12:50 |
| tapas | oops | 12:50 |
| tapas | hi | 12:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | must not have worked | 12:50 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: nope | 12:51 |
| tapas | i once reverted my fstab to ordinary devcice names.. | 12:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | :) | 12:51 |
| Micheru | invalid device | 12:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46432/ | 12:51 |
| tapas | now i'd like to go back to using UUIDs bcause it is a superiour scheme i guess | 12:51 |
| Micheru | or whatever the wording is | 12:51 |
| tapas | being able to move HDs around etc.. | 12:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tapas: easy enough | 12:51 |
| Winball | You cant run a 32bit app on a x64_version of ubuntu unless you create a chroot? Hopefully this will work on later releases | 12:51 |
| digitori | kondrix: if its older and installed try using update manager see if you get an update for it. if not you could search for a newer deb package on the net | 12:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: lol, | 12:51 |
| tapas | is all that's required replacing the device strings with the UUID vol_id reports? | 12:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pretty much | 12:52 |
| sandro__ | ciao prova | 12:52 |
| kondrix | digitori: thanks. By saying "try using update manager" you mean the update manager inside synaptic? | 12:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: i guess you could do what jack suggested, and remember which one works, then delete the others. | 12:52 |
| tapas | Jack_Sparrow: do i have to take special care of grub? | 12:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dont trust me too much until I have my first cup of coffee | 12:52 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: what did jack suggest? i missed it | 12:52 |
| tapas | which atm works find atm although my boot hd moved from hda to hdb ;) | 12:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46432/ | 12:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tapas: you shouldnt no | 12:53 |
| tapas | and i still have to use (hd0,0) as root | 12:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: go tot he very bottom. | 12:53 |
| fibbs | Hi folks | 12:53 |
| tapas | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 12:53 |
| fibbs | a question: how to configure the boot process that /etc/init.d/cryptdisks will be started? | 12:53 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: ok i will stick er in | 12:53 |
| tapas | hmm, the fstab manpage doesn't mention uuid's | 12:53 |
| tapas | i wonder what's the right format | 12:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: did you see the edit I made on that to test the XP drive | 12:53 |
| fibbs | is there some config where to activate it? Or how can i add it to the runlevel? | 12:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: see how he added all those entries, just keep rebooting, till you get one that works, remember which one it is, then remove the ones tha tdon't work. | 12:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: yeah. | 12:53 |

| Micheru | ok here we go again | 12:54 |
| kondrix | digitori; oh, i have everything up to date there, still think my GTK+, whatever that is, is older version | 12:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tapas: sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda7 use your drive letter | 12:54 |

| tapas | can grub's device map handle UUID's too? | 12:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | IdleOne: i bet he's using 64bit. | 12:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tapas: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46433/ is example fstab | 12:57 |
| IdleOne | IndyGunFreak: if he is then !flash64 I believe | 12:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | IdleOne: i know, | 12:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tapas: I dont know, but I dont think so | 12:58 |
| tapas | Jack_Sparrow: ok, UUID=... simple enough | 12:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | i was just saying, i bet thats his issue. | 12:58 |
| IdleOne | yeah probably | 12:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | kartook: are you using 32bit Ubuntu, or 64bit? | 12:58 |
| tapas | and cryptdisk? | 12:58 |
| digitori | kondrix: GTK+ is for creating graphical user interfaces | 12:58 |

| OIM | hello to everyone | 12:59 |
| kartook | thanks dude | 12:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | !hi | 12:59 |
| ubotu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 12:59 |

| yakumo | hello pls help. i have to hd one is ide and the other is sata, install my windows vista in sata and i instal ubuntu in my ide, how do i set up grub to boot on my my vista | 12:59 |
| Micheru | 1. invalid or unsupported executable format 2,3,5 invalid device requested 4 selected disk does not exist | 12:59 |
| kartook | what a great mans and minds | 12:59 |
| kartook | hats off | 12:59 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: xp media center yes | 12:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: so you have an xp media center CD? | 12:59 |
| OIM | ı have question | 12:59 |
| digitori | kondrix: if you are running ubuntu 7.10 you should already have the gtk2 engines | 12:59 |
| OIM | ubuntu-tr is offline | 13:00 |
| Micheru | no, my friend packed it by mistake when he left this computer with me | 13:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok. | 13:00 |
| OIM | who must ı tell it to | 13:00 |
| IdleOne | !ask | OIM | 13:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | !ask | 13:00 |
| ubotu | OIM: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 13:00 |
| * IndyGunFreak stares at IdleOne | 13:00 | |
| * IdleOne points at IndyGunFreak | 13:01 | |
| tapas | Jack_Sparrow: ah i can always use /dev/disk/by-uuid instead of the nromal device name | 13:01 |
| tapas | so i guess this fixes everythinjg:) | 13:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: part of the problem, is your partitions are a mess. | 13:01 |
| kondrix | digitori : i am instaling emifreq-applet and it requires GTK+ 2.2.x | 13:01 |
| kane77 | OIM, ask in #ubuntu-irc | 13:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I hate to see people mixing ide and sata.. it seems to slow my machines way down | 13:02 |
| Micheru | well the ubuntu partition editor didn't leave me much choice | 13:02 |
| digitori | kondrix: what version ubuntu are you using | 13:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: i know.... its a Windows issue, not Ubuntu. | 13:02 |
| OIM | no not ırc | 13:02 |
| kondrix | digitori: gutsy, so its 7.10 i guess | 13:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OIM: Seems to work for me here | 13:02 |
| OIM | ubuntu-tr.com is offline | 13:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: hold on, i'll show you my df -l output | 13:02 |
| CZi_ | where to get help on a pvr 1300 and mythtv? | 13:02 |
| digitori | kondrix: if you install emifreq_applet via synaptic it will take care of the dependancy for you | 13:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CZi_: mythtv has their own room | 13:03 |
| kondrix | digitori: i didnt know i can do it via synaptics | 13:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46434/ | 13:03 |
| CZi_ | Jack_Sparrow, thx | 13:03 |
| digitori | kondrix: open synaptic and search for emifreq | 13:04 |
| Micheru | looks much better than mine :/ | 13:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np.. note it make take awhile to get answers, be patient | 13:04 |
| jack | salve | 13:04 |
| jack | avrei un problemino | 13:04 |
| digitori | kondrix: its there...and just tick box and click apply | 13:04 |
| jack | chi mi potrebbe aiutare? | 13:04 |
| IdleOne | .!it | 13:04 |
| IdleOne | !it | 13:04 |
| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 13:04 |
| kondrix | digitori: crap, its in the synaptics to be found, but it was not in the "add/remove app" | 13:04 |
| Micheru | so basically all i can do is get him to mail me the xpmc cd and reinstall? | 13:04 |
| jack | tnx | 13:04 |
| digitori | kondrix: thats why i always use synaptic | 13:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: well, you could do that, but that would suck. | 13:04 |
| IdleOne | preggo | 13:05 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: majorly | 13:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: hang on a sec.... | 13:05 |
| Micheru | ok | 13:05 |
| digitori | kondrix: its not in add remove as its not part of the main install repos | 13:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: if he were to use a Gparted live Disk, and format all those partitions(except the main windows partition), could he then use Gparted to organize that drive properly? | 13:05 |
| digitori | kondrix: er i think | 13:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: my fdiak -l http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46435/ | 13:05 |
| IdleOne | Micheru: what you should do is reinstall ubuntu and have it format the entire disk removing windows and enjoy the freedom | 13:05 |
| digitori | kondrix: dont blow your CPU | 13:06 |
| kondrix | digitori; kinda strange there are 2 groups of programs to be installed, one in "start" menu and the other in syaptic. Kinda confusing | 13:06 |
| Micheru | IdleOne: not possible | 13:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: do you think that would work? | 13:06 |
| Micheru | i have way to many things i do i nwindows i can't in linux | 13:06 |
| kondrix | digitori i want to keep it slow, working on laptop, and dont like the noise | 13:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: I would fdisk /mbr fixmbr to get back to basic windows... then boot live and delete/clean up partitions.. add spare ext3 for his /home | 13:07 |
| Micheru | i gotta go to bed :/ i will come back in the morning | 13:07 |
| digitori | kondrix: why confusing? just use synaptic it wont do any harm with apps installed by add remove...they all show up in synaptic anyhow | 13:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: ok, so we're on the same page. | 13:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: lol, we were just figuring it out. | 13:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Micheru: You will learn other ways in here | 13:07 |
| kondrix | digitori thanks for help, i installed . Gtg, will check later if it worked. Do you use any instant messenger ? | 13:07 |
| loca|host | where's the Ubuntu bugreporting site ? | 13:07 |
| Laney | Is there any voodoo to getting rhythmbox notifications working? The checkbox is ticked... | 13:07 |
| digitori | kondrix: usually kopete for msn | 13:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Micheru: just leave unallocated space for ubuntu and let the installer set it up for you.. better to not do it manually | 13:08 |
| Micheru | ok i can stay a little longer | 13:08 |
| kondrix | digitori give me your number or whatever, so i dont loose touch with you | 13:08 |
| digitori | kondrix: your welcome.....maybe not best but for messenger but my choice | 13:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: fdisk /mbr that has to be ran from the terminal, correct?\ | 13:08 |
| TimeTraveller | I am trying to compile gtk and having some problems... can anyone have a look at this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46436/ | 13:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: well, this will take a while. | 13:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: actually windows boot floppy | 13:08 |
| digitori | oneonezero10@hotmail.com | 13:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: thats what i thought | 13:09 |
| IdleOne | Micheru: funny you shouyld say that because I have way to many things I do in linux that I cant do in windows. | 13:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: or xp cd | 13:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: do you have a windows boot floppy by chance? | 13:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: no xp cd. | 13:09 |
| Micheru | no... | 13:09 |
| digitori | kondrix: Im gonna be in here a lot anyhow | 13:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm | 13:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: I have an image of one if needed.. you can create it with linux to fix xp | 13:09 |
| kondrix | digitori: all right, double thanks to you then | 13:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: an image of a boot floppy? | 13:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yep... | 13:10 |
| digitori | kondrix: your welcome | 13:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: there you go. | 13:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | you'd have to put it on a blank cd or something, but it should work. | 13:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bootdisk.com has some too | 13:10 |
| digitori | Right maybe my turn anyomne help me out her...not my expertise anyone know why this is seen in my ubuntu network folder: dnssd-local-SFTP File Transfer on pc-00249._sftp-ssh._tcp.local | 13:10 |
| Micheru | i have never used a windows boot floppy, or any boot floppy for that mater | 13:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: all you ahve tod o is when you get the DOS prompt, run fixboot and fixmbr | 13:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: it will boot to DOS prompt and type that one line... see restoring windows... | 13:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !grub | 13:11 |
| ubotu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 13:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | that will clear the master boot record, and boot you straight to windows. | 13:11 |
| Micheru | thats it? | 13:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: right, i've done it before. | 13:11 |
| Micheru | then what? will grub be working corectly or is there more? | 13:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Micheru: makes it not even see that ubunt was there | 13:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: no, there will be no grub. | 13:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | it will boot like linux wasn't ever installed. | 13:11 |
| digitori | Ok guys will try again later, see ya, have a nice day!! | 13:12 |
| Micheru | so basically i reinstall linux? | 13:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Micheru: that flushed ubuntu/grub from boot sector | 13:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: yes, but before you reinstall, you need to make some sense of those partitions. | 13:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | and pull the sata out during the install | 13:12 |
| Micheru | i have no idea how to move a partition | 13:12 |
| === bjorn_ is now known as Bjorn__ | ||
| Micheru | i only know the kill it all and start new approach | 13:13 |
| Micheru | probably why this failed | 13:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: you won't have to move it.. becuawe you're going delete all those partitions that arent in use. | 13:13 |
| gRntLINUX | Is there a way to set a chmod lvl in a folder so any future files that go into it adopt the same chmod? | 13:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | format them as ntfs, it will see your drive as one big drive. | 13:13 |
| Micheru | ?? | 13:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: what do you not understand? | 13:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Micheru: what was the link to your partition table again? | 13:14 |
| Micheru | why wouldn't have several ntfs partitions? | 13:14 |
| Micheru | ill check my logs, if i turned them on | 13:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: that kinda confused me too | 13:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: :) | 13:14 |
| Micheru | nope hmm | 13:14 |
| Micheru | i forget | 13:14 |
| Micheru | what was the command again? | 13:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: my point is, get it down to 1 partition, NTFS. | 13:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: sudo fdisk -l | 13:15 |
| gordonjcp | meh | 13:15 |
| gordonjcp | why bother repartitioning drives anyway? | 13:15 |
| gordonjcp | disks are cheap | 13:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | gordonjcp: well, he doens't have an XP disk. | 13:15 |
| gordonjcp | 50 quid for a 320G SATA | 13:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | but yes, hard drives are cheap. | 13:15 |
| Micheru | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46438/ | 13:15 |
| gordonjcp | seriously, my time is worth more | 13:15 |
| ubuntu__ | anybody there? | 13:16 |
| Micheru | gordonjcp: answer i have no job | 13:16 |
| gordonjcp | if it takes half an hour to organise repartitioning a disk, it would be cheaper to just go and buy another | 13:16 |
| Micheru | i only just graduated | 13:16 |
| Micheru | i have exactly 4 aud | 13:16 |
| gordonjcp | Micheru: find another disk | 13:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: lol. | 13:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: I found his info.. | 13:16 |
| Micheru | i don't have another disk | 13:16 |
| gordonjcp | Micheru: what day do the bins get picked up? | 13:16 |
| ubuntu__ | who can tell me how to use msn in ubuntu? | 13:17 |
| gordonjcp | go out and look for PCs left on the kerb for the bin men to pickup | 13:17 |
| brobostigon | pidgin: | 13:17 |
| * gordonjcp has got a couple of PIIIs that way | 13:17 | |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: ok, any suggestions? | 13:17 |
| brobostigon | ubuntu_: pidgin | 13:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Booting his windows on external sata and trying to have linux on internal ide (as hdc no less) will be problematic | 13:17 |
| gordonjcp | Micheru: you only need a few gig of disk to install Ubuntu | 13:17 |
| Micheru | gordonjcp: we don't do that here | 13:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | !msn | 13:17 |
| ubotu | The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. See also !kopete | 13:17 |
| Micheru | they get dropped off at a recycling center or at the dump bin guys won't pick anything but a bin up | 13:18 |
| Marcusklaas | Hey can I add a new session option to my login screen so that I can can start my system with a different xorg.conf file? | 13:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: i think he's suggesting you go, what we in the US call, dumpster diving. | 13:19 |
| Micheru | ok so what exactly do i need to do? and where can i get the image? | 13:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Micheru: I would first fix the internal ide to show up as hda the first drive on the primary controller not primary drive on the secondary controller | 13:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | right. | 13:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: http://www.bootdisk.com | 13:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: download and burn an XP bootdisk | 13:19 |
| Micheru | no burner... | 13:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Micheru: Then install XP on primary C drive/partition. leaving at least 10 gigs for ubuntu at the end of the drive | 13:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: ok, no burner. | 13:20 |
| kbrooks | Micheru, i wish i could help you in the situation you are in right now. | 13:20 |

| kbrooks | Marcusklaas, yes | 13:20 |
| Micheru | oops | 13:20 |
| loca|host | Launchpad is down ? it doesnt accept new bug reporting | 13:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Micheru: Let me see if I can find the floppy you need | 13:21 |
| loca|host | or maybe there's no more bugs in Ubuntu :D | 13:21 |
| === Gunirus is now known as Gunirsu | ||

| === bullgard1 is now known as bullgard2 | ||
| emanuelez | i screwed up my laptop resolution after setting it up for dual screen. i tried to get the 1280x800 back but i cannot find a solution yet. any hint? | 13:23 |
| Micheru | ok so what exactly would i do with the boot floppy, knowing that the xp partition cannot be removed, and i cannot reinstall windows | 13:23 |
| emanuelez | setting my monitor as 1280x800 tft widescreen does not help | 13:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Micheru: dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=16k is the command... see me in #Voyager to give me your email addy.. | 13:24 |

| IdleOne | !dvd | kartook | 13:28 |
| ubotu | kartook: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 13:28 |

| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: np | 13:31 |
| Marcusklaas | i'd turn them on | 13:31 |
| mattycoze | okay | 13:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mattycoze: they are safe to turn on | 13:31 |
| IdleOne | mattycoze: turning on will give you access to thousands of apps that your are probably going to want to install. leaving them off gives you nothing | 13:31 |
| kbrooks | Marcusklaas, alllll right. i was on the wrong page - a old page - so now the right thing is to look in /usr/share/xsessions and copy the example | 13:31 |
| Marcusklaas | hmmm | 13:32 |
| IdleOne | mattycoze: btw everybody enables them. they are safe to use | 13:32 |
| Marcusklaas | but those sessios will be on the same user, right? | 13:32 |
| === bullgard6 is now known as bullgard7 | ||
| mattycoze | IdleOne, lol kk, i remember doing something like this last time i installed Ubuntu | 13:32 |

| IdleOne | mattycoze: yup :) | 13:32 |
| mattycoze | and was just cautious :p | 13:32 |
| kbrooks | Marcusklaas, they're global | 13:32 |
| Marcusklaas | Okay cool | 13:33 |
| Marcusklaas | :) | 13:33 |
| IdleOne | mattycoze: better safe then sorry. when in doubt ask first | 13:33 |
| Marcusklaas | let me try for a sec kbrooks | 13:33 |
| kbrooks | Marcusklaas, wait ... | 13:33 |
| Marcusklaas | ? | 13:33 |
| kbrooks | Marcusklaas, ok, i was misdirected, you said different X config, well this won't help :-) | 13:33 |
| === bullgard7 is now known as bullgard8 | ||
| IdleOne | !nickspam | bullgard8 | 13:34 |
| ubotu | bullgard8: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines | 13:34 |
| Marcusklaas | Kbrooks: can't i login with different x config?! | 13:34 |
| kbrooks | Marcusklaas, yes, but this is in the gdm configuration file, not in sessions. i'll go back and read it, give me a minute | 13:35 |

| Davo_Dinkum | oh right. cool | 14:05 |
| Tim__ | Jack_Sparrow, that's the native resolution of my display (1280x1024) and it used to work with that, it also works in windows | 14:05 |
| Davo_Dinkum | i thought netgear cards had no support in ubuntu | 14:06 |

| Wooksta | does anyone know of a good tutorial on how to setup ubuntu server as a svn server? | 14:06 |
| siccness | Davo_Dinkum: no idea what thats about. I'm using Debian Etch for the router/access point | 14:06 |
| siccness | using madwifi | 14:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tim__: add another lower res so you can at least get back in.. say 1024x768 and your monitor refresh rates look a bit odd, did you double check those | 14:07 |
| siccness | (set it in mastermode) and voila. | 14:07 |

| siccness | That's why you just do it | 14:08 |
| siccness | Learn :) | 14:08 |
| Tim__ | Jack_Sparrow, refresh rate is right, also don't see how changeing the resolution could solve the problem, but I'll reboot and try it out and the come here again to report | 14:08 |
| Davo_Dinkum | lol | 14:08 |
| siccness | Davo_Dinkum: you learn more by doing something then reading about it | 14:09 |
| Davo_Dinkum | probably | 14:09 |
| siccness | s/then/than/ | 14:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | siccness: better to read first then try it | 14:09 |
| Davo_Dinkum | so why do people tell you to read the manual? :p | 14:09 |
| siccness | Davo_Dinkum: cuz people are idiots | 14:09 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Tim__: what was the last update, where did you get the video drivers you are using, inside ubuntu or from the web | 14:16 |
| ntoxin | Ever since I installed the latest update I seem to be having trouble accessing my NTFS hard drives, anyone know why? | 14:16 |
| _ImAliVe | looh what i foun | 14:16 |
| Davo_Dinkum | Jack_Sparrow: i meant dapper in particular | 14:16 |
| _ImAliVe | cool | 14:16 |
| Tim__ | Jack_Sparrow, the nvidia drivers from the ubuntu repos, but the nv and vesa driver don't work either | 14:17 |
| siccness | ntoxin: more information..? | 14:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Davo_Dinkum: that kind of info is helpful up front | 14:17 |
| Davo_Dinkum | 01:14 < Davo_Dinkum> does dapper have any problems installing on SATA drives? | 14:17 |
| Davo_Dinkum | And I gave it to you | 14:17 |
| _ImAliVe | how do i install de ubuntu | 14:17 |
| _ImAliVe | *the | 14:18 |
| Tim__ | Jack_Sparrow, I mean i get a cursor and the background has the color I set, but then gnome doesn't start and X restarts after 15 seconds or so | 14:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tim__: have you used root or sudo lately? | 14:18 |
| ntoxin | siccness: They do'nt appear on my desktop like they used to I can't acces them through Places and i even tried Konqueror/media with no luck it's like they are'nt there!!! | 14:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Davo_Dinkum: I did have a couple probs with dapper and sata | 14:18 |
| siccness | ntoxin: are they mounted? | 14:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Davo_Dinkum: that would be #ubuntu-3 ? | 14:19 |
| _ImAliVe | i'm sorry to persist but how do i install the ubuntu | 14:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Davo_Dinkum: Not sure people are even in there these days | 14:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _ImAliVe: put in the disk and turn on your pc is how you start | 14:20 |
| Davo_Dinkum | oh ok | 14:20 |
| robdig | _ImAliVe: if you've downloaded the cd image, burn it to disk, and boot off of it. when you first boot, suggest that you run the cd check, then run the live cd. you can play with ubuntu without touching your hard drive. when you're ready, double click the installation icon on the desktop | 14:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !install | 14:20 |

| ntoxin | they used to be there automatically so i never bothered with that, how do you check? | 14:20 |
| Tim__ | Jack_Sparrow, yes to change xorg.con just now, apart from that no | 14:20 |
| siccness | _ImAliVe: Download the appropriate ubuntu .iso file, burn it using a burner and place the media into an optical drive that can read the written disc | 14:20 |
| _ImAliVe | thank you guys :)) | 14:20 |
| siccness | then double click an icon that says "Install" | 14:20 |
| siccness | or something o'rather. | 14:20 |
| Davo_Dinkum | then put on a chicken suit and run around a lot. | 14:21 |
| Tim__ | has anybody here downgraded from guts to feisty? are there any problems I may run into? | 14:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tim__: I cant keep guessing at what was changed or installed... something happened.. how much free space is on the drive? | 14:21 |
| Tim__ | Jack_Sparrow, about 5 gb | 14:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tim__: May I assume you never even tried automatix or envy scripts.. both very bad ideas.. | 14:22 |
| ntoxin | siccness: How do I check if my drives are mounted?? | 14:23 |
| siccness | using the 'mount' command. | 14:23 |
| Davo_Dinkum | mount your horse | 14:23 |
| Tim__ | Jack_Sparrow, no I just used the ubuntu generated xorg.conf and replaced nv with nvidia, that xorg.conf was set up before restricted-drivers-manager even existed | 14:24 |
| siccness | Davo_Dinkum: I came up with a cool naming scheme for my network, BBQ related. "frothies", "eyefillet", "kebabs", "snags" :) | 14:24 |
| neil_d | if I wanted to setup an edubuntu like ltsp on ubuntu what packages would I install ? ltsp-server, ltsp-server-standalone or something else ? | 14:24 |
| Davo_Dinkum | err ok | 14:24 |
| siccness | Davo_Dinkum: I'm bored, I need to talk about something :) | 14:25 |
| Davo_Dinkum | maybe you could go to bed | 14:25 |
| siccness | cant | 14:25 |
| siccness | gotta get EAP happenin | 14:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | siccness: then feel free to chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:25 |
| Davo_Dinkum | ? | 14:25 |
| Davo_Dinkum | sif EAP | 14:25 |
| Davo_Dinkum | leave it | 14:25 |
| Tim__ | Jack_Sparrow, don#t you think it's a gnome problem, I remember there was some .ICEAuthoirty file or something that could lead to trouble | 14:25 |
| siccness | Davo_Dinkum: I am scared RADIUS is a little over the top though | 14:25 |
| siccness | Jack_Sparrow: shall do, sorry. | 14:25 |
| Davo_Dinkum | apart from being cool, are hostnames/whatever naming schemes actually useful? | 14:25 |
| siccness | Davo_Dinkum: yeah | 14:26 |
| Davo_Dinkum | what? | 14:26 |
| siccness | Helps determine what devices actually belong. | 14:26 |
| Davo_Dinkum | you can never be OTT with security | 14:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tim__: too many possibilities and downgrading wont work,, restore from your backup to do that | 14:26 |
| kbrooks | Dave123, "OTT"? | 14:26 |

| Tim__ | Jack_Sparrow, well quite frankly, guts is the worst ubuntu version to date, I already spent hours fixing problems and now I can't even get to my desktop anymore, also I don't have a backup of my complete / with feisty | 14:28 |
| Tim__ | Jack_Sparrow, what if I just wipe out / and install feisty | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tim__: then you will have clean feisty | 14:29 |
| neil_d | Tim__, it works fine for me | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tim__: I felt that way about edgy.. never did use it | 14:29 |
| ntoxin | siccness: when i try to mount it through the mount command it says it can't find it in /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab but when I do cat /etc/fstab/ there it they are! | 14:29 |

| Tim__ | ok I decided to downgrade to gutsy, even if I got my desktop to work again I'm also experiencing another ebug that causes my system to freeze randomly, maybe that will also be fixed with feisty | 14:33 |

| bAcArDeE | I should probably note that this is not only an ubuntu issue, I had the same exact problem when trying to install vista from a boot cd. It would get to the graphical loading bar, and then shut off. I DID actually get it part way installed, then it restarted to finish the installation, but of course it would just shut off when I tried getting past the loading screen.

| bAcArDeE | I've been trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 for a while now. I have tried 3 different versions, 64bit, 32 bit, and 32 bit alternate(text installer). | 15:00 |
| bAcArDeE | My problem is, that when I select start or install ubuntu, it loads, gets to the orange colored screen, plays the login sound and then my computer abruptly shuts off. So I tried installing it with the text installer, worked fine and then when I went to login to ubuntu, computer just shuts off. | 15:00 |
| bAcArDeE | I should probably note that this is not only an ubuntu issue, I had the same exact problem when trying to install vista from a boot cd. It would get to the graphical loading bar, and then shut off. I DID actually get it part way installed, then it restarted to finish the installation, but of course it would just shut off when I tried getting past the loading screen. For some reason I can install windows XP perfectly fine. I just ref | 15:00 |
| siccness | bAcArDeE: hardware issue by the sounds of things mate | 15:01 |
| bAcArDeE | but what part, everything works fine in xp | 15:01 |
| bAcArDeE | is there a way to find out what is causing it | 15:01 |
| siccness | You can do some tests to help narrow it down | 15:01 |
| bAcArDeE | all my parts are less than 2 months old | 15:01 |
| bAcArDeE | custom built pc | 15:01 |
| siccness | I'd start with memory | 15:01 |

| Xdange1 | hey guys all of a sudden i notice that when i plug in my laptop charger my cpu usage is high | 15:02 |
| siccness | yeah | 15:02 |
| Xdange1 | someting like 90% | 15:02 |
| Xdange1 | and when i unplug it, its back to normal | 15:02 |
| bAcArDeE | the only reason I can think of for a comp shutting off like that would be overheating | 15:02 |
| bAcArDeE | but thats not possible the temps are fine | 15:02 |
| Xdange1 | what could cause that? | 15:02 |
| siccness | computers randomly shutting down can be caused by just about anything | 15:03 |
| siccness | PSU, RAM, VGA, Motherboard | 15:03 |

| kane77 | is there some man viewer program? (nicer than the terminal man) | 15:26 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: thanks ^^ i think i mostly understand ubotu's instructions. | 15:27 |
| stdin | berent: a keyring is just a list of public keys which you can use to check a files origin. they create the keypair (public and private) on their system an upload the public key to a server so you can check that a file has a good signature from them | 15:27 |
| void^ | kane77: there's xman ;) | 15:27 |
| jrib | kane77: gman for example | 15:27 |
| kane77 | jrib, void^ thanx | 15:29 |
| berent | stdin: does that mean someone can check for my public keyring value and verify it on all files i upload and download. | 15:29 |

| CrashOverride | * any | 15:31 |
| jrib | axz: you should say what happens when you try to use it so that you can get help. But why not just use mplayer with w32codecs? | 15:31 |
| derkles | anyone else find it annoying when a drive is automounted the icon sits on top of existing icons on the desktop? | 15:32 |
| axz | jrib, because Helix is much easier to use and much better overview | 15:32 |

| stdin | berent: this is a good guide on how to do that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto | 15:34 |
| axz | all i wants to use is helix player it worked fine on Opensuse | 15:35 |

| axz | but cant select it to be installed | 15:36 |
| axz | any idea whats going one? | 15:36 |

| axz | nope nothing | 15:37 |
| kane77 | can I use something like that in tar options --exclude=abc|def to exclude abc and def? | 15:37 |
| jrib | axz: what happens when you do 'sudo aptitude install helix-player' | 15:37 |
| axz | just cant slect the helix to be installed | 15:38 |
| axz | let me try dind try that one | 15:38 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: you run the command and get a file | 15:38 |
| berent | stdin: thanks | 15:38 |
| axz | Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "helix-player" | 15:38 |
| Nilbus | I'm not quite sure how to download the ubuntu livecd. There's a checkbox that reads, "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer." But I don't understand what this means. | 15:38 |
| Nilbus | could anyone clarify? | 15:38 |
| seanhodges | axz, also bear in mind that Helix is not available for amd64 | 15:38 |
| seanhodges | the project wont compile for that architecture | 15:39 |
| axz | ah | 15:39 |
| jrib | Nilbus: the Desktop cd is both the install and live. The alternate is *not* live, only text-based install | 15:39 |
| seanhodges | i know this because i have amd64 ;) | 15:39 |
| axz | well it was on Opensuse seanhodges | 15:39 |
| Nilbus | jrib, ah, thanks | 15:39 |
| axz | whats yopu suggest me to use on ubuntu mate? | 15:39 |
| mosno | Alternate CD rocks (it lets me do LVM)! | 15:39 |
| seanhodges | OpenSuSE wraps the 32bit libs in a certain way to make Helix work - Ubuntu doesn't do this yet | 15:40 |
| axz | seanhodges, you should be the best person to ask you how to make firefox 32 work on 64bit | 15:40 |
| mosno | seanhodges: aww you still use a lowercase u | 15:41 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: i type that into the terminal and nothing happens? | 15:41 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: paste here what you typed | 15:41 |
| corruptionoflulz | dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages | 15:41 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: now you have ~/my-packages | 15:42 |
| seanhodges | mosno, haha it was SuSE back when I used it ;) I still call Snickers bars "Marathon" as well | 15:42 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: and i'd copy that elsewhere how? | 15:42 |
| H264_laptop | Marathon was a fun game | 15:42 |
| mosno | seanhodges: oldschool | 15:43 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: right click, copy? | 15:43 |
| mosno | seanhodges: but was it S.u.S.E or SuSE? ;) | 15:43 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: ~ means HOME | 15:43 |
| corruptionoflulz | ohhhhh | 15:43 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: (it was sitting in front of my face the whole time) | 15:43 |
| seanhodges | axz, i haven't tried to wrap 32bit Firefox in Ubuntu before, tho i've seen the instructions before will try and dig them out | 15:43 |
| axz | yeah | 15:44 |
| SoundChaser | Hi guys - trying to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy, and am getting an error message about not being able to retrieve the "...feisty-security/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz", it appears the file on the server isn't compressed, but the update manager thinks it should be.... | 15:44 |

| ankur | is there any antivirous software for ubuntu? | 15:44 |
| SoundChaser | (And I am surprised, I would think .gz would be a gzipped file..." | 15:44 |
| seanhodges | ankur, ClamAV | 15:44 |
| H264_laptop | SoundChaser: I got an error like that before... the fix was to comment off everything in sources.list then uncomment them | 15:45 |
| H264_laptop | and check for updates | 15:45 |
| jrib | !flash32 | seanhodges, axz | 15:45 |

| H264_laptop | SoundChaser: yes, the comment is # | 15:48 |
| SoundChaser | yeah... | 15:48 |
| H264_laptop | then check for updates | 15:48 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: now if i just copy my home drive that's every setting and every program right? (already copied my-packages) | 15:48 |
| jrib | axz: 64bit isn't really worth the hassle imo | 15:48 |
| H264_laptop | then undo the comments you did and check again | 15:48 |
| jrib | corruptionoflulz: yes and you have to remember the command you need to /use/ the my-packages file | 15:49 |
| CrashOverride | LOL | 15:49 |
| ankur | is there any software in ubuntu which can give me total list of software those are installed in my pc? | 15:49 |
| CrashOverride | ya he better quit his client | 15:49 |
| corruptionoflulz | jrib: yeah, i pasted ubotu's instructions into a text file in that folder.. thanks! | 15:49 |
| jrib | ankur: aptitude search '~i' | 15:49 |
| seanhodges | axz, personally i dont have a problem with 64bit - but it is still a bit rough around the edges in places. If you find it holding you back it's best to switch to 32bit for now | 15:50 |
| alzamabar | HI guys | 15:50 |

| riddareralf | Hello. I've just recompiled my kernel so now I have 2.6.22.14-custom. When I'm trying to install linux-restricted-modules (for my ATI card) it won't load since it want version 2.6.22.14-custom and not 2.5.22.14 | 15:53 |
| sethk | alzamabar, 2 gig ram is more than enough (unless you intend to dual boot vista on the same box) | 15:53 |
| travis | anyone here struggle with a ATI Radion Mobility with Compiz? | 15:53 |
| axz | yes jrib | 15:53 |
| corruptionoflulz | travis: YES | 15:53 |

| corruptionoflulz | travis: i can't even get my radeon mobility to work with restricted drivers on my laptop | 15:54 |
| sethk | alzamabar, so far, nothing out of the ordinary and nothing you need to worry about | 15:54 |
| travis | any idea for a solution? I've reinstalled 7.10 15+ times | 15:54 |
| travis | and tried like 20 different solluitions | 15:54 |
| travis | what kind of laptop? | 15:54 |
| axz | let me check | 15:54 |
| alzamabar | sethk, I just want to run it as a server machine (for instance I want to put my DB there) but I also want to try my email server there | 15:54 |
| travis | I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 | 15:54 |
| linxeh | JEFFmasterFLEX: that's not what I want. I'd like to make a mirror of the entire wiki for use on a network without internet access | 15:54 |
| sethk | alzamabar, I run those on linux, not a problem | 15:54 |
| corruptionoflulz | travis: have you tried ati's linux drivers they released not too long ago? | 15:55 |
| alzamabar | Fantastic | 15:55 |

| axz | no pango32 | 15:55 |
| travis | yeah | 15:55 |
| auzzy | I have an issue with sound on ubuntu, anyone able to help? | 15:55 |
| travis | no luck | 15:55 |
| sethk | alzamabar, you should do a server install, if you aren't going to use the box as a workstation | 15:55 |
| thinh | what ext should i format my external hd ext2 or ext3? | 15:55 |
| H264_laptop | travis: Yes. the only solution I have had was the recent ATI drivers for my X1600 | 15:55 |
| linxeh | JEFFmasterFLEX: a db copy would be less of a hit on bandwidth and CPU than doing a page by page crawl of the site | 15:55 |
| travis | it worked for you? | 15:55 |
| H264_laptop | the 8.42.3 drivers | 15:55 |
| sethk | alzamabar, there's no real difference in the o/s, but it prevents you from giving up disk space for things you'll never use | 15:55 |
| sethk | alzamabar, and installs quicker. | 15:55 |
| alzamabar | sethk, I've got a wireless router which receives ADSL, but I'm thinking of attaching my new PC to it through Ethernet cable. | 15:55 |
| sethk | alzamabar, if you should change your mind later, you can always add the workstation packages. | 15:56 |
| sethk | alzamabar, if they are next to each other, I use wires. | 15:56 |
| travis | H264: ok ill give those a shot | 15:56 |
| sethk | alzamabar, simpler to set up, more reliable | 15:56 |
| thinh | anyone know what the difference between ext2 or ext3? | 15:56 |
| alzamabar | sethk, will I have to configure the network or it will pick it up automatically? | 15:56 |
| corruptionoflulz | travis: it hasn't worked for me | 15:56 |
| travis | let me double check to see if thats what i tried earlier | 15:56 |
| sethk | alzamabar, it will auto configure by default using DHCP | 15:56 |
| H264_laptop | travis: yes, but only the latest build of the 8.42.3 driver, it is called something else version 7.11 | 15:56 |
| sethk | alzamabar, you can of course change any of the default settings, but if you are happy with the auto config it will just work. | 15:57 |
| H264_laptop | travis: I could get a link for you if you want | 15:57 |
| alzamabar | sethk, so as long as I attach the Ethernet cable to the wireless router, it will configure itself? | 15:57 |
| travis | 7.11 is the correct one? | 15:57 |
| travis | or the 8.42.3 driver | 15:57 |
| sethk | alzamabar, yes. I'm assuming the router is set up to supply the configuration. They typically are so set up. | 15:57 |
| travis | https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run | 15:57 |
| H264_laptop | travis: yeah, the 7.11 is a slightly newer build of the 8.42.3 | 15:57 |
| travis | is that the one? | 15:57 |
| jrib | axz: k, refresh the page | 15:57 |
| travis | oh | 15:57 |
| travis | ok | 15:57 |
| travis | i have both downloaded then | 15:57 |
| auzzy | any ideas for some sound issues? | 15:57 |
| H264_laptop | travis: err, let me check | 15:58 |
| alzamabar | sethk, yes, the router assigns IP addresses to local clients. How to I see the hw address of my machine? | 15:58 |
| corruptionoflulz | travis: honestly, i just gave up and decided to wait for hardy | 15:58 |
| axz | lool nice job :p | 15:58 |
| alzamabar | ifconfig? | 15:58 |
| sethk | alzamabar, ifconfig -a | 15:58 |
| axz | thanks | 15:58 |
| sethk | alzamabar, the -a will give more info, including the hardware address | 15:58 |
| alzamabar | sethk, ok, thanks | 15:58 |
| axz | btw update firefox version | 15:58 |
| corruptionoflulz | travis: my laptop just doesn't get along with any drivers, even the latest windows drivers from ATI | 15:58 |
| axz | its .11 atm | 15:58 |
| axz | :p | 15:58 |
| jrib | axz: it's a wiki if you want :) | 15:58 |
| axz | oke | 15:59 |
| travis | what kind of laptop is it? | 15:59 |
| alzamabar | sethk, because I want my DHCP server to assign always the same IP to each box, and that must be configured with the hw address | 15:59 |
| travis | all im having problems with are my ATI driveres and my wireless, if it wasn't for those i would be golden | 15:59 |
| corruptionoflulz | travis: sager 3790, radeon mobility 9700 | 15:59 |
| sethk | alzamabar, yes, that's true, and you can easily find the address. | 15:59 |
| sethk | alzamabar, you can also simply assign a static IP to each box. Whichever you find easier. | 16:00 |
| auzzy | can someone help me with some sound problems | 16:00 |
| alzamabar | sethk, what about internet? Will it work straight away? | 16:00 |
| sethk | alzamabar, yes. The auto configuration will set up the gateway and DNS parameters, which is all you need to be able to get to the net. | 16:00 |
| robdig | auzzy: maybe, what's your problem | 16:00 |
| corruptionoflulz | travis: please remember to mention someone's name when talking to them, because this is a busy channel and it's hard to keep track of. | 16:00 |
| travis | To avoid all the clutter can we meet in #UbuntuATI ? | 16:00 |
| sethk | alzamabar, assuming again that the router is configured to do that. If a windows box talks to the router and can then see the 'net, so will the linux box. | 16:00 |
| corruptionoflulz | travis: you can do autocompletes on the name by pressing tab after typing a few letters | 16:01 |
| alzamabar | sethk, thanx. Also, a question I had was: is Ubuntu just another version of Linux (i.e. all Linux commands will work on Ubuntu as well), or are the commands different? (E.g. ls, cd /home/usr/local, etc) | 16:01 |
| auzzy | robdig: I cant get any sound at all with ubuntu... but it works fine in suse | 16:01 |
| sethk | alzamabar, those commands are a function of the shell that you are running. So they are exactly the same on all the linux flavors | 16:01 |
| corruptionoflulz | !sound | auzzy | 16:02 |
| ubotu | auzzy: 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 | 16:02 |
| alzamabar | sethk, yeah my Windows box (the one I'm currently using) can access the internet through the router | 16:02 |
| sethk | alzamabar, I run zsh, by the way, instead of bash. You mmay want to try it. | 16:02 |
| mrmuehle | I can't login anymore, a box asked me to connect to a XDMCP. Can I get rid of this? | 16:02 |
| sethk | alzamabar, I even run zsh on my windows boxes, when my clients insist on using windows. | 16:02 |
| auzzy | nice one, i'll check those | 16:02 |
| sethk | alzamabar, so I have all the same commands there as well | 16:02 |
| corruptionoflulz | auzzy: this is also a good thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 | 16:02 |

| auzzy | cheers guys, i'll take a look at those | 16:03 |
| alzamabar | sethk, I'm actually am a newbie in the Linux world. So far I have always kept far from Linux because I couldn't find the wireless drivers that I needed. But since now I can connect both wireless and through Ethernet cable, I want to get started with it | 16:03 |
| alzamabar | sethk, are you a developer? | 16:03 |
| sethk | alzamabar, yes | 16:04 |
| alzamabar | sethk, me too :) Nice to meet you | 16:04 |
| sethk | alzamabar, you'll find linux has major advantages for development, when compared to windows. | 16:04 |
| alzamabar | sethk. the main reason because I bought this PC for Ubuntu is that I want to use it for my MSc project. | 16:04 |
| sethk | alzamabar, sounds like a reasonable thing to use it for. :) | 16:05 |

| bullgard4 | Why does Ubuntu 7.10 create the directory /initrd? | 16:18 |
| tinker | @malakar, that's because in /etc/rc3.d the link to gdm begins with 'S' | 16:20 |
| malakar | @tinker, i want to boot into text mode as i don't have a monitor attached | 16:21 |
| malakar | @tinker what is the best way to disable X11 | 16:21 |
| tz80122 | malakar: on debian based systems, there is no difference between runlevels 2-5 by default. none of that runlevels have a special meaning, so it's up to you to remove the S-symlink for gdm from /etc/rc3.d | 16:22 |
| malakar | okay | 16:22 |

| ravigehlot | dutchie86: as far as I know those user Ids start at a 1000 and auto-increments as more users are added | 16:34 |
| dutchie86 | ravigehlot: yes but if you previously created a user account and deleted a user and some file is left on the system from the old user i have seen that an old user ID is used and the system has a bit of a freeze, not common though | 16:35 |

| graulich | tz80122, looks like it. =\ | 16:48 |
| tinker | smooker, still there? | 16:48 |
| smooker | yes | 16:48 |
| smooker | i dont have permissions to access the x server log | 16:48 |
| === reportingsjr is now known as mitch_1_2 | ||
| tz80122 | graulich: just a suggestion. before buying a new one, try to download the windows driver for that new model and look at the usb-id in the driver's .inf file. | 16:49 |
| tinker | look for errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:49 |
| tz80122 | graulich: so you get an idea of the chipset in there | 16:49 |
| jingo811 | testing 123 | 16:49 |
| graulich | I'm just gonna stick to the lists of supported webcams | 16:49 |
| tz80122 | graulich: note that there are revisions | 16:50 |
| graulich | oh | 16:50 |
| smooker | i try to look but it says i dont have permissions and the the x server is terminated.. | 16:50 |
| tz80122 | graulich: even if the product name is the same, a newer revision can have a totally different chipset | 16:50 |
| piko | g | 16:50 |
| dutchie86 | smooker do you get anything if u use dmesg | 16:51 |
| tz80122 | graulich: that's why i suggest taking a look at the usb-id in the recent windows driver | 16:51 |
| tz80122 | graulich: some manufacturers print the revision number on the package. for example d-link does that for their wlan products. | 16:52 |

| Ongaku | dutchie86: I´ve seen a few posts on launchpad of weirdo bugs happening in gusty with gstreamer programs | 17:26 |
| dutchie86 | yeah possibly, too tired to think fully Ongaku, :), is the a verbose switch for rythmbox? | 17:26 |

| CrashOverride | any good N64 emulators for ubuntu? | 17:26 |
| Ongaku | dutchie86: verbose? | 17:26 |
| bazhang | game: throw it out--this is not like windows--you don't install stuff you download from sites like that | 17:26 |
| dutchie86 | game i would suggest using synaptic to install the apps | 17:26 |
| dutchie86 | Ongaku, yeah something like -v usually | 17:26 |
| dutchie86 | that will hopefully provide more output | 17:27 |
| jrgp | how do I set up 5.1 surround sound? my motherboard has the jacks and they work fine under windows xp without and configuration. with ubuntu, I can only here the front two speakers | 17:27 |

| dutchie86 | Ongaku, try that or type man rythmbox or rhythmbox -? | 17:28 |
| GRocket | try rkhunter | 17:28 |
| astro76 | kael_, you would add that in /etc/hdparm.conf and then enable the hdparm daemon (e.g. in system > admin > services) | 17:28 |

| GRocket | game--search for RKHunter, rootkit hunter | 17:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | Velcro_MM: ok, that should be enough.... you may end up using the alternate install CD, but i think it should be ok w/ the Live CD | 17:28 |
| kael_ | astro76, ok, and is there an hdparm command to reset the smart and power management default value on a hard drive? | 17:29 |
| bazhang | game: open a terminal and type the following: sudo apt-get install rkhunter chkrootkit | 17:29 |
| Velcro_MM | Indy, enough for Xubuntu? | 17:29 |
| dutchie86 | Ongaku any luck? | 17:29 |

| dutchie86 | CrashOverride have u used google for a good look? | 17:29 |
| CrashOverride | yes all I found was this one that freezes if I load anything | 17:30 |
| bazhang | CrashOverride: not sure, check ubuntuforums.org gaming section | 17:30 |
| astro76 | kael_, not sure | 17:30 |
| Ongaku | dutchie86: should i debug it? | 17:30 |
| dutchie86 | Ongaku yeah that is prob the path from here | 17:30 |
| Velcro_MM | I am into responsive slim operating systems, but I also like to get some stuff out-of-the-box like Firefox and a mediaplayer that actually plays some media | 17:30 |
| bazhang | bluesign: yes | 17:30 |
| kael_ | astro76, if i reboot without to launch hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda on boot,the value should be the default manufacturer one? | 17:30 |
| dutchie86 | i would also suggest posting in the forum Ongaku, maybe someone else has had the issue and resolved it | 17:30 |
| malakar | hi, i am specifying the run level in grub, still ubuntu is going to runlevel 2, (grub has 3 as the runlevel) | 17:30 |
| astro76 | minerale, I believe so yes | 17:31 |
| bazhang | Velcro_MM: you'll need to up the ram for firefox then | 17:31 |
| Ongaku | dutchie86: yeah i should...hmm the debug says this [rb_threads_init] rb-util.c:460: GMutex isn't recursive | 17:31 |
| genesis | in ubuntu 7.04 is the reading of a bios bug found normal? | 17:31 |
| bluesign | bazhang: i am googling for an hour, can you point me to a clue? | 17:31 |
| dutchie86 | Ongaku which debug command did you use? | 17:31 |
| astro76 | kael_, not sure, there should be an option to list the current settings | 17:31 |
| genesis | I dont get it on any other startups, xp...mandriva etc | 17:31 |
| Velcro_MM | bazhang, Firefox used to be known as a responsive browser. What is faster than it now? | 17:31 |
| Ongaku | dutchie86: rhythmbox -d | 17:31 |
| game | K I NEED TO LOG OFF AND GET SOME POWER ILL BE BACK : | 17:32 |
| bazhang | bluesign: for the minimal install or the net install or what | 17:32 |
| dutchie86 | aah cool, thanks Ongaku | 17:32 |
| kael_ | ok i'll try with ubcd and will see after reboot the current settings | 17:32 |
| dutchie86 | bye game | 17:32 |
| bazhang | Velcro_MM: with 128meg of ram? | 17:32 |
| bluesign | bazhang: net install for ps3 | 17:32 |
| kael_ | astro76 thanks ;o) | 17:32 |
| Velcro_MM | bazhang, nah, 256 | 17:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | Velcro_MM: yes, you should be able to run Xubuntu fine, like i said, you may need to use the alternate install CD, and as for playing media files, etc, provided you have the proper codecs, you should have no prob. | 17:32 |
| Ongaku | dutchie86: i did a gdb no idea what that is but alot of ppl on forum posts use that command | 17:32 |
| dutchie86 | that show up anything Ongaku | 17:33 |
| Arelis | Guys, what personalized homepage (igoogle, live.com, netvibes, pageflakes, symbaloo, that kind of stuff) do you use? | 17:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | Velcro_MM: have you ever used Xfce Desktop, or Linux? | 17:33 |
| Velcro_MM | IndyGunfreak, bazhang, okay thanks | 17:33 |
| Ongaku | dutchie86: i did it last night and it said JACK tmpdir identified as [/dev/shm/] | 17:33 |

| dutchie86 | from my 3/4th as sleep brain Ongaku that is gnome debuger so probably wont help you too much | 17:33 |

| JoeThomas | Hi, I've asked here multiple times, and get the answer to edit /etc/motd to change motd. But it gets replaced every reboot.. | 17:35 |
| anonamoose | http://digg.com/linux_unix/Dell_FREEDOM_Box_A_Fully_Open_System_for_Home_Users_by_2010 | 17:35 |
| Ongaku | dutchie86: what is jackd? | 17:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | Velcro_MM: ok, s you likely have a basic understanding.... but KDE will bog that old machine down. | 17:35 |
| Dr_willis | JoeThomas, its gerneated by a service dynamically on the fly every boot up. | 17:35 |
| jacob | what is gnome? | 17:35 |
| bazhang | anonamoose: do you have a question? | 17:35 |
| dutchie86 | i would strongly suggest having a crack at the forums and launchpad, seems like you will need some help from someone who is 1. more awake than me and b. knows a bit more about the audio drivers etc than me | 17:35 |
| Velcro_MM | IndyGunFreak, it's been just a bit sluggish, but acceptable | 17:35 |
| JoeThomas | Dr_willis: so is there any way to add my own to the motd? | 17:35 |
| dutchie86 | Ongaku honestly i have no idea | 17:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | !gnome | 17:36 |
| ubotu | 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. | 17:36 |
| JoeThomas | Dr_willis: Or not even show that services and just my own? | 17:36 |
| Ongaku | dutchie86: haha yeah...i put a bug up on launchpad..maybe ill try the forums | 17:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | Velcro_MM: yes, but if youu intend to upgrade, Feisty or Gutsy will cripple it. | 17:36 |
| anonym_ | hello | 17:36 |
| Ongaku | dutchie86: thanks for your help though, out i go to fix it lol | 17:36 |
| CrashOverride | lol | 17:36 |
| Dr_willis | JoeThomas, of course there is. :) But i dont rember the service name or config files off hand. i messed with it ages ago. | 17:36 |
| dutchie86 | Ongaku, when you do put in the forums just make sure you put in the bug number :) | 17:36 |
| Ongaku | dutchie86: okies :) thanks alot | 17:36 |
| dutchie86 | good luck with it Ongaku, no worries | 17:36 |
| JoeThomas | Dr_willis: Alright, well thanks for your help. I figured it was something replacing it every startup, but wasn't sure. | 17:36 |

| sanguisdex | hi there I am running ubuntu and just installed phpmyadmin using the package manager. does any one know where I go to access that? | 17:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | Velcro_MM: yes, but not as user friendly if you ask me. | 17:39 |
| kelsin | Velcro_MM: to learn more about the main differences you should check out the fluxbox and xfce main websites. | 17:40 |
| bazhang | Velcro_MM: that little ram will be better with something light as flux | 17:40 |
| Pelo | sanguisdex, did you check in the admin menu ? | 17:40 |
| Velcro_MM | IndyGunFreak, well user-friendliness is important to me, so maybe I'll go with Xubuntu | 17:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | Velcro_MM: thats obvioiusly open to opinion, i like Flux, but i don't find it as user friendly as xfce/gnome | 17:40 |
| sanguisdex | I did now | 17:41 |
| * Pelo wonders how his totaly computer noob aunt is doing with xubuntu | 17:41 | |
| Pelo | sanguisdex, and ? | 17:41 |
| sanguisdex | phpMyadmin is an in brower operated program | 17:41 |
| bazhang | hehe | 17:41 |
| * IndyGunFreak thinks Pelo's aunt is a genius! | 17:41 | |
| Velcro_MM | okay, I will check out the websites for Fluxbuntu and Xubuntu | 17:41 |
| sanguisdex | so its not there | 17:41 |
| kelsin | Velcro_MM: fluxbox is just a windows manager and doesn't provide many of the features that KDE/Gnome/XFCE provide, I would describe as minimalist, and therefore probably less user-friendly | 17:41 |
| game | bazhang: thank you !!!!!!!! | 17:41 |
| bazhang | game: no worries | 17:41 |
| game | GRocket: thank you !!!!!!!!!! | 17:42 |

| game | you guys where such a big help | 17:42 |
| Pelo | IndyGunFreak, not sure , it was her first comp ( given to her by a cousin) with an english win2k on it, she wanted a french os, so I installed xubu, she was a bit low on the mem , it wasn't great, and I didn'T hear back from here, I hope it all went well after taht | 17:42 |
| LadyNikon | ViP3R: what kind of programs do you like to run? | 17:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | ViP3R: yes | 17:42 |
| Dr_willis | IndyGunFreak, i may be thinking of some alternative repos. :) Warzone is now in the repos at least. | 17:43 |
| kelsin | Velcro_MM: and if those websites don't explain enough, check out the main sites for Fluxbox and Xfce the programs the *buntu distros are based on | 17:43 |
| LadyNikon | ViP3R: it really depends on what you use.. and how much you use them | 17:43 |
| bazhang | ViP3R: not if you aren't afraid of some reading :} | 17:43 |
| Pelo | sanguisdex, maybe you need to start it from command line or from within the browser | 17:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: probably, i couldn't find it in any of mine | 17:43 |
| ViP3R | i usally run music programs and firefox | 17:43 |
| sanguisdex | Pelo: yeah that is what I was asking | 17:43 |
| Dr_willis | IndyGunFreak, of course last i tried it. i just downloaded it. untared it to a dir in the users home dir.. and ran it from there | 17:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | ViP3R: you shoudln't have to many probs.. | 17:43 |
| sanguisdex | as to where it was installed | 17:43 |

| Arct | Hi, I just accidentally deleted some mp3s - they're not appearing in my deleted items folder - how can I recover them!? | 17:43 |
| Dr_willis | IndyGunFreak, then i died and died and died and died some more.. so gave up on it. :) | 17:43 |
| LadyNikon | ViP3R: yeah you are good | 17:43 |
| sanguisdex | its not in the local host dir | 17:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 17:44 |
| kelsin | Arct: deleted them with rm in the shell? | 17:44 |
| ViP3R | is there any way to keep all my current media files when i switch to linux? | 17:44 |
| Pelo | sanguisdex, executables can usualy be found in /bin /sbin /usr/bin or /usr/sbin | 17:44 |
| Dr_willis | ViP3R, depends on what you mean exatly. | 17:44 |
| bazhang | ViP3R: when dual booting? | 17:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | ViP3R: back them up to a Cd/DVD/external drive, put them on a partition that you do't touch when you install Linux. | 17:44 |
| LadyNikon | ViP3R: back them up onto something else? | 17:44 |
| Arct | kelsin - er, had them highlighted, I must have knocked 'delete' on my keyboard =( | 17:44 |
| minerale | I'm trying to get networking on a ubuntu machine, the ipw2200 wireless driver gives me errors: ipw2200: Failed to send TX)POWER: command timed out | 17:45 |
| bazhang | minerale: on gutsy or feisty | 17:45 |
| Dr_willis | delete key - in the file manager. normally moves them to the trashcan. SHIFT-Delete i think delete them idmeiatly. | 17:45 |
| Pelo | minerale, try looking up the error msg in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org or you can also try in #networking | 17:45 |
| kelsin | Then they should be in the trash (which is the .Trash folder in your home directory as well). If you permantly deleted them liek Dr_willis says you're outta luck without a lot of low level filesystem work that's above my head at least | 17:46 |
| mariocesar_bo | Hi, I need this file ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to use bazaar on launchpad, but i don't have this file? how do I get it? | 17:46 |
| kelsin | mariocesar_bo: "cd .ssh; ssh-keygen" | 17:46 |
| Pelo | mariocesar_bo, are you aware that .ssh is a hidden folder ? | 17:46 |
| mariocesar_bo | Pelo: of course | 17:46 |
| kelsin | mariocesar_bo: will create id_rsa and id_rsa.pub if you truly need id_dsa you need to read about the options to ssh-keygen | 17:46 |
| Pelo | mariocesar_bo, just checking | 17:46 |
| kelsin | mariocesar_bo: by default it uses rsa | 17:47 |
| tiss_me_here | howdy all | 17:47 |
| mariocesar_bo | Pelo: kelsin: thanks, :D | 17:47 |
| bazhang | hi | 17:47 |

| Pelo | !hi | bazhang tiss_me_here | 17:48 |
| ubotu | bazhang tiss_me_here: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 17:48 |
| tiss_me_here | <<<not texan :) | 17:48 |
| kelsin | mariocesar_bo: (also, make sure you find the option for dsa if you need it and not just name the rsa file dsa, that won't quite work if launchpad truly needs a dsa key) | 17:48 |
| bazhang | I was saying hi to tiss haha | 17:48 |
| mariocesar_bo | kelsin: thanks, I am getting an error of Invalid Key | 17:48 |
| kelsin | mariocesar_bo: with the ssh-keygen command? | 17:49 |
| mariocesar_bo | kelsin: I would read the man, to figure it out | 17:49 |
| mariocesar_bo | kelsin: no, with the launchpad registration | 17:49 |
| kelsin | make sure you have a dsa key if you need that, and make sure you're uploading the .pub file, not the one without the extension | 17:49 |
| ompaul | !launchpad | 17:50 |
| ubotu | Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ | 17:50 |

| Dr_willis | actually dosetn gnome put deleted things in .local/Trash or somthing like that? or is that kde? | 17:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | .Trash | 17:51 |
| bazhang | thought it was .trash | 17:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cap T | 17:51 |
| Pelo | Dr_willis, in gnome it's in ~/.Trash , unless you are running root | 17:51 |
| jacob | there's a new update for gnome | 17:51 |
| Dr_willis | Pelo, i some how lost 15gb of hd spacve the other day. :) had stuff in .Trash and .local/share/Trash Wonderd why the 2 dirs where not linked.. actually wondered why there was 2 dirs... | 17:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | one root one user | 17:52 |
| Dr_willis | shouldent the root's trash be in /root/.Trash? | 17:52 |
| Pelo | Dr_willis, .local/share/Trash might have been created by a specific app, I had some strange stuff happen with wine like that | 17:52 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm wonder if i got cruft in there... | 17:52 |
| Dr_willis | So.. in summery KDE and GNOME both should be using .Trash then? | 17:53 |
| kelsin | depends, if you are in a whole root's gnome session yes, but if you just ran a command with sudo "command" it might still have $HOME set to your users home and then use that users .Trash folder | 17:53 |
| lockd | there is a ~/.local/share/Trash | 17:53 |

| Csaba | how do i launch trashbin or showdesktop from Avant Dock i deleted my bottom panel and made shortcuts on top panel but i can get them on dock | 17:54 |
| Pelo | Dr_willis, I just checked, that ~/.local/share/Trash is where utorrent on wine deletes to on my comp, I changed the /Trash part to a symlink to ~/.Trash on mine to take care of the problem | 17:54 |
| Dr_willis | Pelo, ok. It may been wine/Picassa doing the dirty work then. :) | 17:54 |
| Pelo | Dr_willis, I don'T think ~/.Trash is interface dependent, it's a linux default as far as I know | 17:55 |
| Dr_willis | Pelo, yea thats what i did onmy other machines.. Linked all the trash's together. We need a Trash RFC Standard! | 17:55 |

| Jack_Sparrow | sam__: firestarter is NOT like Zone alarm where it runs every time you boot... | 18:06 |
| DECUSgeek | XBehave: unlink | 18:07 |
| sam__ | Can someone tell me where the error log for firestarter is stored? | 18:07 |
| Dr_willis | XBehave, just delete it and remake it. IF theres any other hard links to the file that is.. :) | 18:07 |
| DM| | Which one is closer to MS words formatting, Abiword or OOO? | 18:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sam__: Good luck with that.. later people | 18:07 |
| Dr_willis | DM|, i woudl say OOO - abiword is rather simple. | 18:07 |
| bazhang | bye Jack_Sparrow | 18:08 |
| XBehave | i thought deleting a hard link deleted the data? | 18:08 |
| underdog5004 | I need a remote desktop server that uses rdp...any suggestions? | 18:08 |
| DM| | Dr_Willis ok, cus they both open up with different formatting | 18:08 |
| XBehave | thx DECUSgeek didnt realise it was that simple | 18:08 |
| Dr_willis | XBehave, a hard linkis another name for a file. Its identical to the origiaal file/name. If you have 2 hard links to the same data. they ARe the same file :) | 18:08 |
| exarkun | Do python-tz and python-matplotlib conflict horribly in Dapper, or is it just me? | 18:09 |
| Dr_willis | XBehave, unlinking all the names to a file - delets the file. (or so my kernel book taught me ages ago) | 18:09 |

| sam__ | dr_willis, does firestarter have its own separte log file? | 18:11 |
| DM| | sam__ only for events | 18:12 |
| Dr_willis | sam__, no idea.. I dont use it. since its a front end to the iptables. you may need to check the kernel logs and other iptables logs | 18:12 |

| robdig | eeeandrew: that's the same chip i have. are you using alsa driver? quick check is to double click on volume control, file, and see what is selected... | 18:19 |
| minerale | dr_willis: the rest seems normal, just the font (when typing username) and the menu bar | 18:19 |
| eeeandrew | robdig:I have no driver I@m not sure how to install them | 18:20 |

| John_R | stuart: you can switch users and then switch back | 18:23 |
| skel | robdig: I think it'll be like snd_intel or something similar | 18:23 |
| stuart | John_R, thanks! | 18:23 |
| skel | eeeandrew: modprobe allows you to load kernel modules (drivers) for hardware support | 18:23 |
| robdig | eeeandrew: as skel suggested, it looks like my system is using modules snd and snd_page_alloc | 18:24 |
| skel | eeeandrew: though most of the time ubuntu properly detects your hardware and loads them for you, sometimes not the case | 18:24 |
| eeeandrew | ok I@m still not great with the terminal or anything could you talk me thru it? | 18:24 |

| skel | eeeandrew: well we have to figure out what module needs to be loaded or if its already loaded first | 18:25 |
| ompaul | d03boy, no - you must go one step at a time, and it is good idea to upgrade one release at a time | 18:25 |

| skel | eeeandrew: then use pastebin to paste your results | 18:25 |

| thor | Hoxzer: then on the laptop you will still use the ethx of the laptop...the desktop computer doesn't do any work ... it is just an ethernet bridge right? | 20:03 |
| lfs | whta, hmm... maybe you should check if you are using the right driver.. what kind of card do you have? | 20:03 |
| Haesufin | Got it fixed with sudo-v, cheers for your help | 20:03 |
| imbecile | hey guys. just curious what kind of video compression istanbul uses. when i go to save it has no file extension and i want to know what to give it to upload to youtube | 20:03 |
| TigranG | kane77: Atheros AR5212 | 20:03 |
| sladjan | i still recive the same message Desktop effects could not be enabled | 20:03 |
| skel | brandon_: just disable desktop effects? | 20:03 |
| whta | lfs: audigy 2 zs. it detects the card properly and everything so i'm assuming it's using the correct driver. i never had to install anything separate before. | 20:03 |
| kitche | imbecile: well youtube I think is .avi but doesn't matter since it uses a flash overlay anyways | 20:03 |
| brandon_ | skel, tryied it | 20:03 |
| lfs | TigranG, is it detected ? .. i think the Atheros chipset is supported well in ubuntu | 20:03 |
| TigranG | lfs: It is detetced. But I get slow bitrates. | 20:04 |
| imbecile | kitche: so i make the file a .avi? | 20:04 |
| tomd123 | brandon_: the way i told you is the way you disable xgl!! | 20:04 |
| skel | sladjan: hmm that fixed the issue on my HP laptop, sorry I'm not sure what to try from there | 20:04 |
| TigranG | lfs: Like down to 2mbps. | 20:04 |
| brandon_ | tomd123, i dont have an xserver-xgl folder tho | 20:04 |
| TigranG | lfs: The card is capable of 54mbps and I get that amount unders WindowsXP. | 20:04 |
| lfs | whta, run sudo lsmod , u'll see a list of loaded modules which can give you an indication of the driver used .. also check dmesg | 20:04 |

| brandon_ | ok | 20:04 |

| lfs | TigranG, .. hmm | 20:05 |
| sladjan | Xgl server setup changed | 20:05 |
| sladjan | The Xgl server will now be started automatically next time you login. It is no longer necessary to use any special X session to start Xgl, and such sessions will likely fail to work properly. Please select a regular session from your session manager next time you log in. To disable Xgl autostart for this user, create a file named ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable | 20:05 |
| beerfa1 | what framework/platform/whatever owns ~/.config? It's filled with prefs for apps like banshee, compiz, deluge, glade, gtk2. Is this a gnome dir? | 20:05 |

| thor | beerfa1: .config contains a lot of config options for various desktop items...I believe it is part of the FreeDesktop stuff | 20:06 |
| kitche | imbecile: probably .avi find out by saving a file | 20:06 |
| RadiantFire | lol, if you use your swap it always seems like the system gets slower | 20:06 |
| brandon_ | tomd123, what is the disbale part a folder or text file? | 20:06 |
| imbecile | kitche: i tried saving & it had no file extension | 20:06 |
| kitche | imbecile: then it's probably .avi just give it an extenstion then | 20:06 |
| tomd123 | brandon, its just an empty file called disable | 20:07 |
| beerfa1 | thor: I wonder why it isn't stored in .gnome2 | 20:07 |
| TigranG | lfs: Do you think I should try ndiswrapper? | 20:07 |
| brandon_ | text? | 20:07 |
| imbecile | kitche: thanks | 20:07 |
| thor | beerfa1: my .config contains folders for gnome's menus, xfce's menus, the text editor config. It is not stored in .gnome2 because not everyone runs gnome... | 20:07 |
| slimjimflim | is it possible to set up a 'virtual router' in order to give applications the illusion of having a static ip? | 20:07 |
| brandon_ | kk | 20:07 |
| RadiantFire | ipx: I'm not quite sure about the syntax, but be sure to use the visudo program, which will check for syntax errors that could leave sudo unusable | 20:07 |
| lfs | TigranG, AFAIK, ndiswrappers perform lesser than native drivers , but you can give it a try! | 20:07 |
| kane77 | NKD-, and what are you trying to achieve? | 20:07 |
| === ubuntu is now known as MACHO24_TALCA | ||

| NKD- | heheh | 20:08 |
| NKD- | its ok | 20:08 |
| beerfa1 | thor: oh, I'm not really familiar with freedesktop. I guess that's a platform independent thing. | 20:08 |
| lfs | TigranG, Looks more like a settings problem though ,... if you are getting better speeds using the same access point under windoze XP | 20:08 |
| TigranG | lfs: Like what? | 20:09 |
| NKD- | i swear i used that same syntax years ago last time i had a linux box working as a gateway | 20:09 |

| thor | beerfa1: don't feed the trolls <smile> | 20:10 |

| osiris___ | Hi all does anyone know how to fix the big font size in the GDM text box with a fresh install of gutsy? also it's installed on a laptop, when the sounds muted it still plays sound? | 20:10 |
| kane77 | NKD-, isn't it supposed to be --to-source? | 20:10 |
| astro76 | slimjimflim, what is assigning your IP now? | 20:11 |
| slimjimflim | astro76, it's the static ip i get from my isp whenever my modem gets rebooted | 20:11 |
| slimjimflim | which isn't very often | 20:12 |
| slimjimflim | but it still happens | 20:12 |
| lfs | TigranG, do you get a good signal from the accespoint? | 20:12 |
| max` | is there any chance to view XPS files with ubuntu? | 20:13 |
| thor | slimjimflim: the IP from your isp is the one you need...you will need to use the same one once you get your router fixed unless you intend to just use postfix internally | 20:13 |
| slimjimflim | i guess i could write a script to update those files whenever a new ethernet connection is made | 20:13 |
| TigranG | lfs: 30-40%, but its at the same place when I'm running Windows. I get 54 so I dont think its because of that | 20:13 |
| NKD- | hm maybe kane.. i dunno. | 20:13 |
| NKD- | lemme try | 20:13 |
| thor | slimjimflim if you want to use postfix externally look at www.no-ip.com to solve that problem | 20:13 |
| dav1 | hey guys, everytime i start ubuntu, i have to type "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper " in order to start my WLAN, can anyone tell me how i do that automatically without typing at every start? | 20:13 |

| benhd2008 | no | 20:14 |
| lfs | TigranG, hmm .. just wondering , if you are primarily using the access point fron browsing , then it should not really affect you unless your internet pipe is bigger than 2mbps | 20:14 |
| TigranG | dunno | 20:14 |

| erUSUL | Unknown: it is in the first menu you see when you can choose to boot ; boot into safe graphics; test memory; etc | 20:28 |
| sethk | Unknown, if windows is already there, the install will automatically set up dual boot for you, so it's a bit easier. | 20:28 |
| tomd123 | anio, basically windows will overwrite the MBR without your consent so basically you would have to install grub again to see the linux partition | 20:28 |
| lfs | gamag, and checking if anything is muted? | 20:28 |
| gamag | lfs: it runs, i increase decrease sound but nothing happens | 20:28 |
| thor | Vadi: I think it is 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 20:28 |
| gamag | lfs: nothing is muted | 20:28 |
| sethk | Unknown, sorry, wrong nick | 20:29 |
| Anio | tom: how hard would it be to install grub again? | 20:29 |
| Vadi | thor: that one asks me questions | 20:29 |
| sethk | Anio, not hard | 20:29 |
| Vadi | thor: do you know for the one that doesn't, and picks itself? | 20:29 |
| Anio | allright...I'll give that a try | 20:29 |
| sethk | Anio, even easier, back up the MBR before the windows install, then restore it | 20:29 |
| thor | Vadi: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh' | 20:29 |
| tomd123 | anio, i agree with sethk | 20:29 |

| tomd123 | but then you would have to add the windows partition manually into the grub config file | 20:30 |
| lfs | gamag, do an lsmod and see what modules are loaded , may give you a clue | 20:30 |
| Anio | one more question...this is a rather old PC, a P3 1GHz with 256mb of RAM. Is this enough to run the latest Ubuntu comfortably, or should I try to get a previous release? | 20:30 |
| Vadi | thor: thanks man | 20:30 |
| tomd123 | anio, its fine | 20:30 |
| geonerd | speaking of dual-booting, how much space should one allocate for the ubuntu partition | 20:30 |

| nnoeonn | I need help :S it seems like my grapich is a bit slow | 20:31 |
| beerfa1 | geonerd: depends totally on how much you need. ~4GB at a minimum I'd say | 20:31 |
| lfs | Anio, it can confortably run ubuntu , try using a smaller window manager like icewm or blackbox rather than gnome | 20:31 |

| aladinsano | i just installed Firestarter and then my Torrentclient stoped getting a connection, as far as i can see it must only be to choose "Allow Service" under "Policy" in firestarter and to add the torrent clients port, but that does NOT do the trick, anybody know why? | 20:31 |
| aladinsano | Im connected directy to the net via my Dsl modem. | 20:31 |
| RichW | This is annoying, any ideas? | 20:31 |
| tomd123 | geonerd, you can easily have 10 gigs for an ubuntu partition if your just a casual user, if a programmer/ has lots of "stuff" then anything bigger than 15 gigs would do | 20:31 |

| ubotu | 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+) | 21:02 |

| crdlb | marina: video card? | 21:02 |
| slimjimflim | does anyone know where the $myhostname variable is stored? ie. that contains the value of the '<username>-desktop' part of the bash prompt | 21:02 |
| plamo | when I type parted followed by p | 21:02 |
| marina | its ati | 21:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | thats probably why, need to install ati drivers | 21:02 |

| marina | ok | 21:04 |
| juano__ | kane77: smbpasswd username | 21:05 |
| juano__ | kane77: that username needs to be a local linux user | 21:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | heavenquake: you'll need to compilea new alsa driver, install it, then tell it which configuration to use, its all in those instructions | 21:05 |
| juano__ | kane77: it needs to be in local passwd file | 21:05 |

| marina | which one should i enable | 21:09 |
| marina | the one in use or not in use | 21:09 |
| marina | crdlb pls | 21:10 |
| g-e | plamo: ok, and you want to shrink that partition number 1, right? | 21:10 |
| richo | kitche i didnt. it worked ;) thx alot. ciao | 21:10 |
| plamo | g-e Correct | 21:10 |
| crdlb | marina: the ATI proprietary driver | 21:11 |
| marina | and now | 21:11 |
| crdlb | marina: was it enabled? | 21:11 |
| g-e | plamo: have you already tried to do it with parted? | 21:11 |
| Floid | Is anyone able to mount floppies in 7.10, or is the kernel driver just completely broken? | 21:11 |
| marina | yes but it wasnt in use | 21:11 |
| crdlb | marina: is it now? | 21:12 |
| plamo | Yeah, it said that I couldn't unmount the first one, because of other devices, g-e. | 21:12 |
| marina | its still not in use | 21:12 |
| crdlb | then you need to fix that | 21:12 |

| txoof | I'd like to install gnome (and X and all that comes with it), but I don't want to run the whole X login frontend. I just need gnome for some vnc stuff that will be running off this box. Is it possible to either avoid installing the login stuff (if so, what's it called?), and if not, can it be disabled? | 21:13 |
| g-e | plamo: yes. throw in the cd, ubuntu comes up, start a shell, type "parted" and then resize the partition. | 21:13 |
| macogw | txoof: it's called gdm | 21:13 |
| marina | ill restart my pc | 21:13 |
| macogw | plamo: or use the partitioner in system > admin > gnome partitioner on the live cd | 21:14 |
| txoof | macogw: I bet a billion things are dependent on it, eh? | 21:14 |
| macogw | txoof: no idea | 21:14 |
| g-e | macogw: is the partitioner cooler then parted? | 21:14 |
| CoasterMaster | txoof, you can probably do a command-line only install (use the alternate CD) and just install gnome separately | 21:15 |
| eNons3nse | can someone please help me. i'm getting an input/output error when i try to copy files from my external mp3 player. | 21:15 |
| xyber411 | hi... I'm having some trouble with the fglrx 7.11 driver. Everything works in it, but it seems to be using the cpu instead of the gpu for everything. any ideas? | 21:15 |
| plamo | okay, thanks g-e, macogw. | 21:15 |
| txoof | macogw: is the X-login stuff a different init level? | 21:15 |
| macogw | g-e: gparted seems a lot easier than the one that's in the updater. i dont know which one runs if you type "parted" | 21:15 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse: what sort of error ? | 21:15 |
| Floid | txoof: If you have the disk space, just install and disable gdm launching with update-rc.d. | 21:15 |
| krypto84sv | como puedo ver el modelo de mi disco duro en consola? | 21:15 |
| CoasterMaster | !es | krypto84sv | 21:15 |
| ubotu | krypto84sv: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. | 21:15 |
| macogw | txoof: um..its the same as when you do startx, except gdm manages how many gnome sessions are running and lets you login graphically | 21:15 |
| eNons3nse | juano__: here is an example of what it says. cp: reading `Dubwise & Otherwise 2/Gregory Isaacs - Slave Master.mp3': Input/output error | 21:15 |
| ampex | xyber411: what would lead you to the conclusion that it is "using the CPU for everthing" ? | 21:16 |
| txoof | CoasterMaster: Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do. I would like gnome and all the X deps, just not gdm. I think I can probably weed that out though. | 21:16 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse: is the device properly mounted ? | 21:16 |
| g-e | macogw: "gparted"? when i type "gparted", its not found. | 21:16 |
| CoasterMaster | txoof, yeah, I'm not sure exactly what packages you're going to need unfortunately | 21:16 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse: when you plugged in the mp3 player, it should appear on the desktop | 21:16 |
| beerfa1 | g-e: it's not installed by default | 21:16 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse: have a look in dmesg | 21:16 |
| CoasterMaster | but that install won't install any GNOME or GUI stuff | 21:16 |
| macogw | g-e: i dont know the command for it. it's in the menu on the live cd | 21:16 |
| eNons3nse | juano__: should be. it auto mounts when i plug it in. i can browse the file system & see everything that's there. nothing looks out of the ordinary. | 21:16 |
| eNons3nse | gordonjcp: dmesg? | 21:17 |
| macogw | after doing today's updates, firefox-3.0 no longer works. it says "Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9a8 and 1.9a8." | 21:17 |
| g-e | macogw: ah, ok. so its not in the installed version at all, as i understand it. | 21:17 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse: also maybe try removing any other USB storage devices | 21:17 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse: i see... , do a cat /etc/mtab and see if it appears there | 21:17 |
| macogw | g-e: no but you can get it from the repos | 21:17 |
| g-e | macogw: i had good luck with parted so far. | 21:17 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse: yes, dmesg, it's a list of kernel system messages | 21:17 |
| macogw | g-e: is parted gui or command line? | 21:17 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse: looks very scary, often tells you when things have gone phut or are about to | 21:17 |
| macogw | g-e: partman is horrible. i dont know why they put that in the installer now. yuck | 21:18 |
| eNons3nse | gordonjcp: as in the HD in my mp3 player? | 21:18 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse: ah, is it actually a hard disk? | 21:18 |
| Floid | txoof: Looks like you could also just uninstall the gdm package. | 21:18 |
| g-e | macogw: parted is commandline. just type "parted" and youll see. very useful. | 21:18 |
| otherman | about fglrx... with the new driver it's pratically impossible to see any video (slow, slow and slow!). there is a way to fix the problem? i've the "beautifull" ati x200 | 21:18 |

| juano__ | Jaszbo: is the card on roaming mode ? if so in the desktop nm-applet click on it and it should show nearby networks | 21:20 |
| Floid | Although you might have to call gnome-session in your .xinitrc etc. | 21:20 |
| ampex | I know that on my 9800 pro, the opensource ati driver performs better than fglrx | 21:20 |
| ampex | for compiz and general gnome use | 21:20 |
| Odd-rationale | beerfa1: That restarts X. Can I just restart compiz? | 21:20 |
| txoof | Floid: as long as the init level is set right for booting... As I recall xlogin is a different inti level than the standard multiuser login. | 21:20 |
| Ballena | if a CLI or TUI app is started with the system. How do I open it without open a new session of the program? | 21:21 |
| beerfa1 | compiz --replace *may* do it. don't know | 21:21 |

| Odd-rationale | 'Cause every now and then compiz crashes and I was looking for the quickest way to start it back up again, preferably a key stroke. | 21:21 |

| hookdump | how can I enter to console mode with the ubuntu live cd? X doesnt work in my old pc :S | 21:22 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse: sudo fdisk -l should output all disks connected to the motherboard, there your device's filesystem should appear | 21:22 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse: and there partitions of course | 21:22 |
| Ballena | FloodBot1: what is a runlevel? | 21:22 |
| Odd-rationale | beerfa1: ^ | 21:22 |
| Floid | For video, Xv has been broken in fglrx, so make sure you're using plain X11, or if plain X11 is taxing the cpu and direct rendering works, try GL. | 21:22 |
| Jaszbo | ! nm | 21:22 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:22 |

| Jaszbo | ! nm-applet | 21:22 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about nm-applet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:22 |
| macogw | xyber411: the open source one seems to work better on most radeon 9xxx than the binary does | 21:23 |
| Floid | However, if glxgears takes 100% CPU then fglrx probably isn't quite installed right. | 21:23 |

| juano__ | !alsa | TBotNik | 21:24 |
| ubotu | TBotNik: 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 | 21:24 |
| eNons3nse | juano__: it's /dev/sdb1 | 21:25 |
| thinh | i try mount ext hd but i only get read only | 21:25 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse: yep, does it show up while connected in /etc/mtab ? | 21:25 |
| thinh | how do i make it so i get full permission to the ext hd anyone? | 21:25 |
| Floid | ampex: Seems like the AMD-ATI merger inspired them to refactor it, probably in a team undergoing a lot of turnover, so it should slowly stop regressing someday. Or not. | 21:25 |
| beerfa1 | thinh: the partition must NOT be mounted to format | 21:25 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse: does this happen only in ubuntu, have you tried connecting it to windows box or other OS ? | 21:26 |
| thinh | i know what but when i format it i still can write anything to it | 21:26 |
| eNons3nse | juano__: yea. it says vfat in there. /dev/sdb1 /media/AV404 vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,usefree 0 0 | 21:26 |
| eNons3nse | /dev/sdb1 /media/AV404_ vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,usefree 0 0 | 21:26 |
| otherman | sorry for repetition... I deleted many file... 2GB maeby.. but i've only 200MB of free space. why? | 21:26 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse: seems a bit odd | 21:26 |
| Floid | otherman: Were they sparse files? | 21:26 |
| LjL | otherman: possibly because they were mostly zero-filled files, like incomplete parts of torrents for instance | 21:26 |
| eNons3nse | i haven't tried plugging it into a different OS since yesterday | 21:26 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse: I'd see if dmesg is full of funny errors, possibly to do with USB | 21:27 |
| beerfa1 | thinh: what partition type are you formatting with? ext3? | 21:27 |
| thinh | ext3 | 21:27 |
| macogw | Floid: i thought it was because dell told them "make a working linux driver, or we drop you" so they scrapped the whole thing because it sucked and started over trying to make a good one, and thye current version is basically an alpha of what will someday, hopefully, be better than what we had | 21:27 |
| thinh | yeah | 21:27 |
| eNons3nse | gordonjcp: where do i find that? | 21:27 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse: definitely try it without any other usb-storage defices on the same bus | 21:27 |
| Odd-rationale | #eee | 21:27 |
| beerfa1 | is the partition mounted after you formatted? | 21:27 |
| Odd-rationale | Sorry | 21:27 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse: type "dmesg" in a terminal | 21:27 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse: mmm seems fine with the rw option, that should let you write fine , is this USB ? try another USB if it is | 21:27 |

| eNons3nse | gordonjcp: heh. i'm trying to copy files from my usb mp3 player to my usb external HD. that's the only other thing plugged in other than my mouse. | 21:28 |
| Floid | macogw: Could be but I doubt it. If anything it seems like they got distracted when AMD people came in and actually started auditing what they could release to get the open-source drivers up to par. | 21:28 |
| Floid | ...Which would be why the open-source driver is rapidly improving on fglrx now, too. ;) | 21:29 |
| eNons3nse | gordonjcp: yeah. there's some crazy stuff in that log. let me put it on pastebin. | 21:29 |
| thinh | i was able to delete some files in the folder when i change the file ownership but i need to make the whole drive accessable by everyone | 21:29 |

| Wolf23 | somebody help me please? | 21:31 |
| TBotNik_u | juano__: Have loaded all the ALSA and sound mix progs by hand but still does not work. It think it has something to do with the MB. My buddy found he had to install a Creative PCI card, then run ALSA and then and only then did the onboard sound chip get activated. Think there is a basic sound system file missing in the ALSA and kernel files that the Creative driver set has that kicks it all off, but I'm just speculating. | 21:31 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse: lol, that pastebin url looks vaguely rude, I bet the more vocal ops will whine about it | 21:31 |
| marina | still problem | 21:31 |

| comicinker | I cannot open glade files from anjuta. if I do so, I receive: Aborted (core dumped) I also cannot start the help | 21:36 |

| gordonjcp | Floid: it's not SMP, but that would be a pretty odd regression. It's a VIA chipset. | 21:36 |

| marina | yes | 21:37 |
| beerfa1 | Wolf23: if you have the codec already, it could be a bad wmv. Some have adware codecs embedded. | 21:37 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse: might want to google for the error message "hostbyte=DID_ERROR" etc in dmesg | 21:37 |
| eNons3nse | gordonjcp: it's still copying but it's taking much longer than it should. when i click "retry" on those I/O errors it works | 21:37 |
| whta | i'll take that as a "don't." should i disable backports, then? | 21:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Floid: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img will try to read a floppy and write an image file of it.. not that you wanted to do that, just tossing a suggestion. | 21:37 |

| segagman | bionic? | 21:38 |
| juano__ | !alsa | marina | 21:38 |
| ubotu | marina: 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 | 21:38 |
| Floid | Jack: If it dies on an I/O error before reading anything from the floppy device, that doesn't help much. | 21:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Wolf23: What about w32codecs and gstreamer etc? | 21:38 |
| gordonjcp | Floid: I honestly can't think of any problems I've had with floppy drives under Linux, except for the time the drive went on fire | 21:38 |
| sethk | TU, not without creating a customized cd | 21:38 |
| Wolf23 | beerfa1: oh ic' | 21:38 |

| segagman | isnt that what ubuntu is for? | 21:41 |
| sethk | Ballena, no, you have to start the app from a screen session | 21:41 |
| gordonjcp | Ballena: I have to leave now, so I can't directly answer your question, but perhaps if you explain a bit more about the problem someone else can help | 21:41 |

| comicinker | otherman: search for the file with the gnome-search-tool. make sure you search for hidden files, too | 21:53 |
| rencore_ | gnome-cups-add was removed i think | 21:53 |
| juano__ | marina: plz ask your question | 21:53 |
| rencore_ | i could be wrong | 21:53 |
| sethk | dana_bad, if it is still missing after a reboot, it is probably a hardware problem | 21:53 |
| erUSUL | marina: what is the problem? | 21:53 |
| Nematocyst | Do I need to build a custom kernel for huge page support (CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE), and assuming so, will I run into trouble with my nvidia restricted drivers if I do so? | 21:53 |

| juano__ | TBotNik_u: gotcha | 21:53 |
| marina | i said several times i have problems with ati\ | 21:53 |
| marina | and with sound | 21:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | juano__: i'd say his attitude is a problem..lol, | 21:54 |
| erUSUL | Nematocyst: with a new kernel you need to build the driver yourself too | 21:54 |
| sethk | Nematocyst, yes, and you'll need to download the drivers from the nvidia site. The install will use the new kernel information. | 21:54 |
| whta | jack_sparrow: i don't see any hint of what to do NOW. the comments recommend uninstalling whatever it installed.. though I don't know what font packages it added | 21:54 |

| Nilbus | erUSUL, is that wifi post up to date? there's no /usr/lib/hotplug on this livecd | 21:54 |
| juano__ | IndyGunFreak: lol | 21:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | erUSUL: he's been told that, i think he wants spoonfed | 21:54 |
| beerfa1 | ozzloy: by "entire desktop" do you for other users? | 21:54 |
| marina | can someone get into my pc | 21:54 |
| juano__ | marina: well then, first of all you have to go to System ----> Administration ----> Restricted drivers | 21:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 21:54 |
| marina | like remote assisrance | 21:54 |
| erUSUL | Nilbus: may be out of date dunno | 21:55 |
| juano__ | marina: in there you should enable the restricted driver for your ati card | 21:55 |
| sethk | marina, depends on whether your ISP allows incoming connections. | 21:55 |
| juano__ | marina: thats a first step | 21:55 |
| otherman | comicinker: i dont found anythink | 21:55 |
| marina | i did that | 21:55 |
| ozzloy | beerfa1: i mean for me, not other users | 21:55 |
| erUSUL | marina: for graphics drivers use System>Admin>Restricted Manager | 21:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | juano__: i think he tried that, which initiated the "thanks for nothing" comment. | 21:55 |
| NewUserr | rencore: what should i do then i tried to install that again with apt-get but doesnt work | 21:55 |
| juano__ | TBotNik_u: what is the hostname set too ? | 21:55 |

| beerfa1 | ozzloy: can't help with that. Maybe write a script and bind a key to it | 21:57 |
| juano__ | TBotNik_u: all in the same line if you know what i mean, and im not sure if they need comas in between them, you can try both | 21:57 |

| NewUserr | someone knows what i should do when i get this error message:gnome-cups-add doesnt answer , i cant add my printer | 21:57 |
| beerfa1 | ozzloy: not sure. Google for it perhaps | 21:57 |
| marina | and what to do now | 21:57 |

| abcent | naxa: before Ubuntu, what was you either using or had installed? | 22:13 |
| tim__ | VLC is good | 22:13 |
| seanw | This is the problem with free software; ) | 22:13 |
| ubotu | SirChris: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 22:13 |
| naxa | Jack_Sparrow: by default i didn't do anything. Fist i noticed nvidia driver doesn't work. i have Geforce2 MX 400. i used the old xorg.conf since this stupid idontknowwhattocallit owerwrite my default xorg.conf. but after that the driver was still only half usable. | 22:13 |
| HateX | Flare183, are you saying that after a specify my ip statically in the network gui app then i should run ifconfig to update the changes | 22:13 |
| tim__ | !rename | 22:13 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rename - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:13 |
| SirChris | is there anyone who can help me and listen to that song and tell me the title plllzz: http://90chris.90.funpic.de/searching2.mp3 | 22:14 |
| Shadow147 | ArthurArchnix SHUT UP I AM JUST OFFERING HELP TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE | 22:14 |
| Unknown | How do I set microphone settings? | 22:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | seanw: VLC is a media player that does many things, plays videos, rips dvds, plays music, you name it. It is not necessary to install in order to play mp3. | 22:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !offtopic | SirChris | 22:14 |
| Flare183 | HateX:> yeah you can try | 22:14 |
| SirChris | for example with alsamiver | 22:14 |
| ubotu | SirChris: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 22:14 |
| naxa | abcent: i recently used slackware. it s*cks couse no apt-get is avaliable, but it's stable and funny to learn. ubuntu is better in my opinion but this things drive me crazy | 22:14 |
| crimsun | Unknown: use the mixer applet in the upper right corner of the top panel. | 22:14 |
| SirChris | alsamixer -V capture | 22:14 |
| marina | again nothing | 22:14 |
| TBotNik | juano__: Tried the thing in the hosts file and it set all the domains to the "E:/Local Files" directory. Need something else | 22:15 |
| HateX | Flare183, what does ifconfig do exactly? | 22:15 |
| Shadow147 | ArthurArchnix plus I can't Stand Totem | 22:15 |
| SirChris | try that for the microphone | 22:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | Shadow147: That's fine. But your advice is not necessary to get mp3's playing. | 22:15 |
| Flare183 | HateX:>see the man page | 22:15 |
| naxa | abcent: the problem is that some of the auto mechanisms s*ck maybe | 22:15 |
| Flare183 | open a terminal and type in man ifconfig | 22:15 |
| naxa | live-cd was a good idea anyway | 22:15 |
| abcent | naxa: so totaly reformatted HDD, or upgraded? | 22:15 |
| HateX | Flare183, thanx | 22:15 |
| Unknown | crimsun: Is there any way to have the microphone work outside a program, like in windows? | 22:15 |
| seanw | Okay thanks guys./ | 22:15 |
| Flare183 | just keep trying | 22:15 |
| HateX | Has this channle been taken over> | 22:15 |
| Flare183 | no | 22:15 |
| tim__ | VLC is the best media player for linux AND windows at the moment | 22:16 |
| crimsun | Unknown: certainly. That's the default behaviour. | 22:16 |
| naxa | abcent: it was a fresh hdd in the past when i installed but it's already full of stuff at the time. 6 gb is still free anyway | 22:16 |
| PriceChild | !best | tim__ | 22:16 |
| brobostigon | vlc is very usefull | 22:16 |
| ubotu | tim__: 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. | 22:16 |
| Nematocyst | tim__, could be the JPG you are trying to rename is on a fat32 filesystem | 22:16 |
| marina | how can i totaly remove atheros HAL | 22:16 |
| Unknown | crimsun: Sir, it isn't doing for me. | 22:16 |

| crimsun | Unknown: is the 'Capture' element unmuted and maxed? | 22:17 |
| tim__ | Nematocyst: yes it is, how do i rename it? | 22:17 |
| abcent | naxa: I'm curious only because I know things you've discribed can happen if install over an exsisting O/S | 22:17 |
| marina | how can i totaly remove atheros HAL | 22:17 |
| Unknown | crimsun: Is this within a program? If so, where do I find it? | 22:17 |
| Nematocyst | tim__, fat32 doesn't distinguish case. you'll have to move it to a real (read linux) filesystem, or live with it. you _may_ succeed by renaming something temporary then back | 22:18 |
| naxa | abcent: actually i don't know what happened... | 22:18 |
| dido^ | hi | 22:18 |
| crimsun | Unknown: use the mixer (volume control) applet in the upper right corner of the top panel, aka the speaker icon. | 22:18 |

| marina | guys where r u again | 22:19 |
| Shadow147 | Unknown what is your sound system a Analog or Digital | 22:19 |
| Nematocyst | tim__, np. i forgot about your question until I saw you do !rename... sorry | 22:19 |
| sethk | In fact, even the 'bots are volunteers :) | 22:19 |
| abcent | naxa: open a terminal type in: sudo synaptic | 22:19 |
| naxa | abcent: ok in full details. I was running 7.10, it worked. i made the update, restarted. i plug in an old hdd and copied some data. i recofnized that i had to set nvidia driver in low graphics mode after restarted which was very strange. i copied the data. i turned off and pull the extra hdd out. i restarted. it was low graphics mode again. i realized that something went wrong. i tryied my old xorg.conf. it worked but the screen was very unusual | 22:19 |
| naxa | . | 22:19 |
| sethk | marina, I'm not sure what you are trying to do | 22:19 |
| Unknown | crimsun: Thank you. That was it. It was muted. Again, thank you, Sir. ;) | 22:20 |
| sethk | marina, why would you need to remove it? | 22:20 |
| naxa | abcent: after that... | 22:20 |
| dim | hello, looking for a "beta" sources.list, anyone can send me? | 22:20 |
| tim__ | Shadow147: do you also have to install a million codecs to play anything off the net? | 22:20 |
| Unknown | Shadow147: Not sure. | 22:20 |
| crimsun | Unknown: np. | 22:20 |
| kane77 | sethk, I'm not sure ubotu wants to hang around here voluntarily ;) | 22:20 |
| marina | cuz its in use again | 22:20 |
| abcent | naxa: go through what you need installed | 22:20 |
| naxa | abcent: i tried to configure x but the display was on the left, not in the center, a little | 22:20 |
| sethk | marina, you can delete the kernel module, that will stop it from loading | 22:20 |
| juano__ | TBotNik sorry i was away for 5 minutes, you said you tried it and it didnt work ? | 22:20 |
| Shadow147 | tim_ VLC codecs are usually compiled in one package | 22:20 |
| marina | how to do that | 22:20 |
| Shadow147 | if I remember correctly | 22:21 |
| tim__ | :) | 22:21 |
| eNons3nse_ | juano__: so i just copied some different stuff that i put on there a couple weeks ago and it's working fine. could it just be the stuff i put on the mp3 player last night was written to a bad spot on the HD? | 22:21 |
| abcent | naxa: I did that on my son's pc ..... it unlocked so many items, which i couldn't do before | 22:21 |
| huppi | HI which tool is suited for repartitioning my hard drive without killing the data ? | 22:21 |
| naxa | abcent: i reinstalled nvidia-glx drivers, tried new, normal, legacy... none of them was recognized by the nvidia settings. 2 was accepted but there was no options. one wasn't recognized at all. | 22:21 |
| Flare183 | !kde4 | 22:21 |
| ubotu | KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. For more information see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4>. The Release Schedule is available at http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule. RC 1 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php | 22:21 |
| sethk | marina, it's in /lib/modules/......./ where ....... depends on your kernel version. Paste the output of uname -a and I can tell you the exact directory name | 22:21 |
| Flare183 | !mount | huppi | 22:21 |

| brandon_ | i need some help, i have world of warcraft installed with cross over pro, it runs great until i try to log onto a character it will either freeze my comp completly or give me the famous error 132 any suggestions? | 22:21 |
| abcent | naxa: did you try terminal: nvidia settings | 22:21 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse_: ehh ... weird huh, probably corrupt data, happened to my cell phone once, you know what it is ? i think i know | 22:22 |
| Flare183 | !brandon try it without the crossover office | 22:22 |
| brandon_ | like with wine? | 22:22 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse_: when you connect it to linux box, a new dir appears called .Trash-something | 22:22 |
| geck1 | Still no luck on the sound card Flare183 | 22:22 |
| eNons3nse_ | yeah | 22:22 |
| Flare183 | brandon try it without the crossover office | 22:22 |
| naxa | abcent: yes, it says that's it's not an nvidia driver. i tryed build from source with envy. it gave an error and halted when building... | 22:22 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse_: if you delete files from linux in your HDD it goes to .Trash, it doesnt REMOVE from external hdd | 22:22 |
| Flare183 | !alsa | 22:22 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 22:22 |

| abcent | naxa: after installing ubuntu on my sons pc .... he couldn't install crap, it was like he was locked out ..... so i performed sudo synaptic | 22:22 |
| Flare183 | !alsa | geck1 | 22:22 |
| ubotu | geck1: please see above | 22:22 |
| naxa | abcent: in xorg.conf it IS the nvidia driver actually | 22:22 |
| Flare183 | brandon:> just try wine | 22:23 |
| geck1 | wilco, thanks Flare183 | 22:23 |
| TBotNik | juano__: I tried changing it up and all work now, but 3 & 4 are mirroring 1, not showing their own directories. | 22:23 |
| naxa | abcent: i don't have problems with installing | 22:23 |
| Flare183 | !wine | brandon | 22:23 |

| Flare183 | geck1:> ok | 22:23 |
| eNons3nse_ | juano__: often when i unmount my mp3 player it asks me if i want to empty it's trash. | 22:23 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse_: sometimes that makes things a little messed up when accessing again, so be sure to remove that dir completely, its actually a safe dir just in case you want to recover lost files, i dont know depends on what you want more, safety or flexibility... | 22:23 |
| eNons3nse_ | ok | 22:24 |
| Flare183 | !lostandfound | 22:24 |

| syngin001 | looking to implement a script while the system boots, where do i put this script? | 22:24 |
| tim__ | yep :) | 22:24 |
| kelsin | syngin001: /etc/rc.local, you can call it from that file | 22:25 |
| juano__ | TBotNik all mirror to E:/Local Files/ ? | 22:25 |
| eNons3nse_ | also, is there a way to turn off rhythmboxes auto detection of mp3 players? whenever it tries to load my player the program hangs and i have to force quit. | 22:25 |
| sethk | synacktion, /etc/rc.local is the usual place | 22:25 |
| Shadow147 | tim_ make sure u have the universe repo accessable | 22:25 |
| syngin001 | ok thanks | 22:25 |
| eNons3nse_ | so whenever i have my mp3 player attatched i can't have rhythmbox open | 22:25 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse_: yes, System ----> Preferences ----> Removable drive and media | 22:25 |
| TBotNik | juano__: but having to use the : on localhost cause the domain names don't work at all. | 22:25 |
| marina | aaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 22:25 |
| abcent | naxa: I don't think i'm the best person to fix ur problem in 20 minutes .... | 22:25 |
| naxa | abcent: actually there is only two problems right now what i know about, 1 nvidia 2 pendrive... my internet is working. | 22:25 |

| ArthurArchnix | brandon_: With your crossover office comes 6 months of level 3 support. Although Gutsy doesn't fall under this coverage, feisty does, an email toward their support staff may yield some help. | 22:26 |

| abcent | naxa: good idea | 22:27 |
| eNons3nse_ | juano__: i already have all that stuff turned off. it doesn't open rhythmbox when i plug it in like it used to, but if rhythmbox is already open when i mount my player it still tries to index it and fails. i just want rhythmbox to ignore my mp3 player. | 22:27 |
| otherman | comicinker: i found it!! is in /Recycled... but i can't delete... | 22:27 |
| syngin001 | is there a place also to place a script when system is shutting down? | 22:27 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse_: check in rhythmbox preferences | 22:28 |
| Unknown | Can any one help me with this error when i click install ubuntu to boot into the live cd - Failed to allocate memory resource? | 22:28 |
| sethk | syngin001, there is, but I don't recall the name off the top of my head. Look in man shutdown I think it will tell you | 22:28 |
| comicinker | otherman: great! I didn't know files can end up there... | 22:28 |
| juano__ | eNons3nse_: or just uninstall rhythmbox... its not that good anyway, try audacious or listen, those are good players | 22:28 |
| graymaster | hello, my system time does not work, and i what ever i do it will not change, any help?? | 22:28 |
| sethk | otherman, try deleting with sudo | 22:28 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about time - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:28 |

| ubotu | owain: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 22:32 |
| crdlb | owain: gksu | 22:32 |

| manduski | hey guys i'm having difficulty understanding the interface of "prepare partitions" on the new ubuntu install cd. I have four partitions...sda1 ext2 size 106mb, sda2 ntfs 63gb, sda3, swap 4mb, sda4 ext3 55mb....I just want to keep the windows (ntfs) partitions and have another one for the main installation and the other one for swap. But i can't seem to be able to combine sda1 with sda4 and scale swap partition down from 4gb to just | 22:36 |
| manduski | 1gb without telling me the rest is unusable | 22:36 |
| juano__ | HateX: using the gnome-art manager ? | 22:36 |

| naxa | i came back. live cd won't work due to corrupt nvidia driver... | 22:37 |
| vlt | Hello. I have installed ubuntu 6.06 LTS with its default kernel 2.6.15-k7 on an AMD64/X2 machine. Now I try to boot with another mainboard but the same type of CPU. It bgins to boot, recognizes the CPU correctly but then panics with "IO-APIC + TIMER doesn't work". Using another boot hd with 7.10 installed works fine. Any idea how to get it working? | 22:37 |
| tomd123 | i am looking for a program that would ssh into a computer, download a file from the internet and then copy it onto my computer | 22:37 |
| juano__ | HateX: did you try installing it from there ? i believe there are 2 options, 1) only download 2) install | 22:37 |
| gordonjcp | eNons3nse_: no idea, it's possible I suppose | 22:37 |
| otherman | autocad 2007 works on windowsXP in virtualbox? | 22:37 |
| sethk | manduski, if you leave empty space between two partitions, then you get that "unusable" message. Sometimes you get it because you use a part of a cylinder, and partitioning is done in full cylinders | 22:37 |
| rconan | magnetron: i'm trying to boot the xubuntu livecd but it hangs | 22:37 |
| sethk | manduski, usually it's an insignificant amount of space | 22:37 |
| Unknown | ryty im not in ubuntu it wont even go on live cd | 22:37 |
| Flare183 | !livecd | 22:37 |
| ubotu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 22:38 |
| naxa | i recently remembered that two other errors also added, computer freezes. yes. on linux. it simply freezing sometimes. mouse stops. no hardware error, it worked before the update. | 22:38 |
| HateX | well for login managers, the install button is grayed-out so i downloaded instead | 22:38 |
| Unknown | i query'd you | 22:38 |
| magnetron | manduski: you would have to put something else on the newly unallocated space to make use of it. try scaling up another partition | 22:38 |
| vlt | tomd123: ssh, wget, scp | 22:38 |
| naxa | i have a livecd, it wont work. it boots and then blank screen is coming | 22:38 |
| Pelo | manduski, first you would have to unmount the partitions you need to resize, second : you can'T merge as far as I know you would have to delete one partiton and extend the next to use up the size, these partitions would have to be contiguous with the deleted partition "after" the one you want to expand | 22:38 |
| Flare183 | !alternativecd | 22:38 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alternativecd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:38 |
| sethk | manduski, you specify it as a number of sectors, but the granularity is really cylinders, leading to the confusion. | 22:38 |

| bp| | Evening. Quick question: how do I disable hibernation on my Toshiba laptop? It doesn't seem to work and the only way out after that is a hard shutdown. | 22:47 |
| HateX | juano__, it prompted me for a password and everything | 22:47 |
| naxa | K4k: 2,6 ghz is the cpu of course :) | 22:47 |
| juano__ | HateX: yea... same here | 22:47 |
| K4k | brobostigon: I need to know which because I have a good suggestion but it's only PCI I think | 22:47 |
| brobostigon | flake: xfce is like cde | 22:47 |

| K4k | naxa: If it's AGP, I think there are AGP Nvidia 6xxx series cards available | 22:48 |
| K4k | those will be perfect | 22:48 |
| flake | a different way to navigate I guess | 22:48 |
| HateX | juano__, GDM-Dreaming-Alien.tar.gz | 22:48 |
| brobostigon | flake try enlightenment and xfce. | 22:48 |
| flake | and organize the apps | 22:48 |
| K4k | flake try fluxbox or xfce | 22:48 |
| marina | people plz help me | 22:49 |
| brobostigon | they are very different to gnome and kde | 22:49 |
| K4k | xfce is more similar then others, but it's still different | 22:49 |
| K4k | marina: what's the issue | 22:49 |
| brobostigon | xfce is similer to cde | 22:49 |
| kelsin | flake: if you want to spend the time and fully custimize the way you work I would recommend FVWM as well, but you said before you wanted easy to use, so I wouldn't suggest it if editing the config file and setting it up counts as non-easy for you | 22:49 |
| naxa | K4k: will they be ok? I bought a geforce2 mx 400 second hand couse i thought it's nvidia. but it sucks. are the 6000 series ok? | 22:49 |
| urkud | Hi! May be, it's wrong place for this quesion (it isn't ubuntu-specific). What is the good software/site for social networking? | 22:50 |
| urkud | I want to be able to sinchronize my address book with data from this site. | 22:50 |

| marina | problems with visual effects and sound on my laptop | 22:50 |
| naxa | K4k: i mean the card is wonderful it's just the linux driver s-cks | 22:50 |
| kelsin | naxa: geforce2 is nvidia, just much older | 22:50 |
| naxa | kelsin: yes i know. but i thought it's ok... | 22:50 |
| kelsin | naxa: were you running the "nv" open source driver or the nvidia propirtary driver? | 22:50 |
| kelsin | naxa: *I can't spell | 22:50 |
| naxa | kelsin: so newer geforce are the best cohice? | 22:50 |
| K4k | Naxa: they are only a few years old, they should be just fine. Make sure you install the nvidia binary driver as well. I also recommend Nvidia over ATI for driver reasons, nvidia drivers are far better under linux | 22:50 |
| naxa | kelsin: nvidia, couse nv simply wont work, it's freezing completely, i have to restart by unplugging the machine | 22:51 |
| NKD- | Hi all. Earlier I was having problems with my NAT, but I fixed it. However, now I cant get anything to run on startup. I've tried putting stuff in /etc/rc.local and in a custom script I chmod +x'd in /etc/init.d | 22:51 |
| marina | so what should i do | 22:51 |
| seanhodges | urkud, depends on where all your friends are ;) maybe Facebook? | 22:51 |
| naxa | K4K: so a geforce > 4 is ok? | 22:51 |
| EugeneB | Can I ask help with toshiba laptop? I know it's a slippery place but I'm trying to get suspend to work | 22:51 |
| kelsin | well if you're already running the nvidia driver you're still going to be running that driver with any newer nvidia card. So if you think the driver sucks I would working on solving that problem, the card won't matter | 22:51 |
| bp| | Any hint on how to disable/fix hibernation on my laptop? | 22:51 |
| juano__ | HateX: i just tried downloading that one and it didn't work also same error as you | 22:51 |
| urkud | Fackebook doesn't allow me to export my contacts. | 22:52 |
| juano__ | HateX: that is weird | 22:52 |
| K4k | naxa: I would recommend a geforce > then 5 actually if you plan on doing things like XGL | 22:52 |
| K4k | marina: please restate your issue | 22:52 |
| naxa | K4K ok i see | 22:52 |

| brobostigon | libdvdcss | 22:54 |
| juano__ | HateX: ok good luck | 22:54 |
| K4k | naxa: look for anything between a 5500 and 6600 as they should be in your price range and have good openGL support | 22:54 |
| naxa | K4k: thank you. so i was right about nvidia, i just picked the wrong way buy trying to buy a very cheap, old card. | 22:55 |
| naxa | K4k: i will try what you say, thank you for your help | 22:55 |
| marina | i cant have visual effects when i go there and check normal or extra i recieve this Desktop effects could not be enabled | 22:55 |
| K4k | marina: make sure that your xorg.conf has composite set to "1" and not "0" also, make sure you have xserver-xgl installed | 22:55 |
| urkud | seanhodges: it seems that it is an application that can run on my computer and syn data with several external storages. | 22:55 |
| crdlb | K4k: other way around | 22:56 |
| crdlb | K4k: you don't need composite to use Xgl | 22:56 |
| juano__ | HateX: worked ? | 22:56 |
| naxa | K4k: could you tell me a good tft monitor and dvd writer as well? i thought about pioneer dvdwriter... i dont know anything about tft | 22:56 |
| K4k | crdlb: when I installed xgl, I then got the composit not enabled error, I thought you had to have it set to 1 | 22:56 |
| HateX | juano__, yeah, thatone worked | 22:56 |
| crdlb | K4k: no, you just need to log out so that Xgl is actually used | 22:56 |
| naxa | k4k: actually it's easier if you tell me what not to by in monitors | 22:56 |
| HateX | juano__, the dreaming alien file must be damaged or something on the web host side | 22:56 |
| kelsin | naxa: I've had great luck with an LG external dvd writer, works on every system I've ever plugged it into | 22:56 |
| lockd | hmm does paint.net run in Linux? | 22:57 |
| juano__ | HateX: yea i think that is the problem | 22:57 |
| crdlb | K4k: you only need composite enabled in Xorg to use AIGLX or nvidia's thing | 22:57 |
| ubuntuu | How do i save file after editing it with vim ? | 22:57 |
| HateX | juano__, thank you for your help | 22:57 |

| juano__ | HateX: anytime | 22:57 |
| urkud | ubuntuu: :w<Enter> | 22:57 |
| naxa | kelsin: it sound great... i thought buying an external usb rack and an ordinary dvd writer, it's not ok? | 22:57 |
| kelsin | ubuntuu: hit esc to make sure your in command mode, then :w or :wq to quit after | 22:57 |
| K4k | crdlb, then howcome with my ati card, using xgl and compiz it said that I needed to enable composite in xorg? | 22:57 |
| urkud | Yes, I've forgotten about Esc | 22:57 |
| seanhodges | urkud, yes. i've only used Facebook before. I really think it depends what your needs are | 22:57 |
| ubuntuu | ok ill try | 22:57 |
| crdlb | K4k: because you weren't using Xgl yet | 22:57 |

| K4k | naxa: I'm not sure what a tft monitor is exactly, but as for your dvd drive, I usually just get whatever is least expensive, they are all pretty equal | 22:58 |
| _6StringKng_ | any way to remove the HDD icon on my desktop? I still want it in Place > hdb1 but not on the desktop | 22:58 |

| greenman | Hi. I have a quick question. Does the server install cd have the text installer? | 22:58 |
| flush | whats the problem ? | 22:58 |
| K4k | crdlb: but I restarted xserver | 22:58 |
| crdlb | K4k: you're mistaken | 22:58 |
| lockd | i only recall seeing tft on CRTs | 22:58 |
| naxa | K4k: tft is the new type monitor, which is plate | 22:58 |
| dfwlinuxguy | greenman..yes | 22:58 |
| kelsin | _6StringKng_: you can turn that off in the gnome system registry, I think the key is under apps/nautilus/desktop | 22:58 |
| crdlb | K4k: either you're not actually using Xgl, or you have the order wrong | 22:58 |
| lockd | oh, must have been another acronym | 22:58 |
| urkud | seanhodges: it seems that facebook deny connecting with automatic script (for sync facebook data with my own addressbook, for example) | 22:58 |
| K4k | crdlb, could be, I was just saying what I had to do to get mine to work, if there is another way, then I am not aware of it | 22:59 |
| K4k | naxa: are you referring to LCD monitors? | 22:59 |
| greenman | dfwlinuxguy: okay, I'll download that in case I need it. Is there a torrent, sometimes that's faster | 22:59 |
| marina | how can i check all those issues | 22:59 |
| mEck0 | Hi! I'm using Gnome in Ubuntu 7.10 and wonder if there is possile to change the default file manager from Nautilus to another, e.g. Thunar? Nautilus is so non-responsive | 22:59 |
| seanhodges | bp|, this might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-440225.html | 22:59 |
| crdlb | K4k: on the fglrx shipped in gutsy, your advice would actually make things *worse* :) | 22:59 |
| _6StringKng_ | my laptop screen is TFT | 22:59 |
| K4k | crdlb: then maybe that is why it's been crashing a little bit | 22:59 |
| crdlb | composite + GLX wasn't supported until 8.40ish | 22:59 |
| dfwlinuxguy | greenman..yes torrent ..http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ | 23:00 |
| urkud | seanhodges: flickr allow XML-RPC connects but I can't fill my e-mail, phone number e.t.c. | 23:00 |
| K4k | marina: open up synaptic package manager and look for "xgl" | 23:00 |
| naxa | K4K: yes, actually... sorry i always confused about the difference between tft and lcd | 23:00 |
| K4k | and install the xgl xserver | 23:00 |
| K4k | naxa: do you know what size you want? | 23:00 |
| marina | ok | 23:00 |
| K4k | marina: also, ignore my comment about the composite in xorg.conf because apparently it's not correct, just try rebooting first to see if it works, if it does, then your good, otherwise come back | 23:01 |
| _6StringKng_ | kelsin: how do I access the gnome system registry btw? | 23:01 |
| seanhodges | urkud, this is the big problem when integrating web2.0, so many different protocols and standards | 23:01 |
| naxa | k4K: 17"-21" but i have very limited money so 17" i guess | 23:01 |
| EugeneB | Can I ask help with toshiba laptop? I know it's a slippery place but I'm trying to get suspend to work | 23:01 |
| kelsin | _6StringKng_: in a term you can type "gconf-editor" I don't know where in the menus it is in ubuntu atm :-( | 23:01 |
| naxa | K4k: i'm just curious if there is a bad choice or not | 23:01 |
| TimeTraveller | does anyone know if GTK is included in ubuntu ... synaptic says it is but my theme engine says it is not when i am trying to compile it .. | 23:01 |
| K4k | naxa: I know that they have 20" widescreen LCD's for around $200USD | 23:02 |
| greenman | Okay, what would be better, Alternate install or server install. My friend wants to try linux, but I couldn't get the desktop install to work. | 23:02 |

| urkud | seanhodges: I'll continue googling... | 23:02 |
| kelsin | TimeTraveller: you might not have the Gtk-dev libraries, did you search for this theme engine in synaptic to make sure it's not packaged already? | 23:02 |

| Sintexxx | hey | 23:04 |
| kelsin | _6StringKng_: I think that's the "volumes" visisble options | 23:04 |
| greenman | Okay, what would be better, Alternate install or server install. My friend wants to try linux, but I couldn't get the desktop install to work. | 23:04 |

| marpstar | is anyone here experienced with setting up dual-monitors in ubuntu with nvidia cards? | 23:04 |
| greenman | kelsin: okay. Thanks | 23:04 |
| kelsin | greenman: it has the text mode installer that will setup the desktop system, and you can debug from there | 23:04 |
| kelsin | greenman: just as easy as the live cd installer, just in text mode instead of graphical | 23:05 |
| greenman | cool, thanks | 23:05 |
| seanhodges | ubuntuu, is it read-only? (read the status at the bottom) | 23:05 |

| gabriel__ | aguitel: free | 23:06 |
| seanhodges | if you can write then <esc>:w<enter> should save it, check the status at the bottom. Then use :q<enter> to close | 23:06 |

| EugeneB | hmm... interesting idea - have to try | 23:07 |
| sladen | aguitel: why do I need to use /away ... I already have a script do that based on screen disconnect... | 23:07 |

| jacob | me | 23:14 |
| wabiD | how can i remove anyone from that sentence | 23:14 |
| sethk | adrenergic, /dev/modem is a symbolic link | 23:14 |
| Sturm | can anyone help? | 23:14 |
| kelsin | Sturm: have you run it from a terminal to see if it outputs any error messages when it crashes? | 23:14 |
| wabiD | complied xbmc for ubuntu... | 23:14 |

| wabiD | i think that makes a lot less sense | 23:15 |
| gmonnerat | Mp5: you are trying to use dual screen? | 23:15 |
| sethk | adrenergic, in general, /dev/TTY# is a modem and /dev/tty# is a serial port, although both refer to the same physical device | 23:15 |
| Sturm | yes | 23:15 |
| EugeneB | PC wakes-up by itself after going to sleep in 1-2 seconds. Any ideas? | 23:15 |
| sethk | adrenergic, ok, do this and show us the result: ls -l /dev/modem | 23:15 |
| sethk | adrenergic, that will tell you which device it is linked to | 23:15 |
| dfwlinuxguy | yeah, suspend sucks in Linux | 23:15 |
| mohd | should I uninstall/re-install compiz? | 23:15 |
| jacob | crimsun: i installed alien trying to install a newer version of gnome, could that be the cause of the problem | 23:15 |
| lontra | dfwlinuxguy: works fine here and it has for a while | 23:15 |
| EugeneB | so - no hope? | 23:15 |
| crimsun | jacob: ...yes. | 23:15 |

| brobostigon | suspend on my ibook g3 wont even work in mac os x, never mind linux | 23:16 |
| jacob | crimsun: then wouldn't it affect other programs? | 23:16 |
| dfwlinuxguy | lontra...it really depends on how good a driver was written...most hardware manufacturers don't like releasing their specs | 23:16 |
| jacob | crimsun: i want to undo what i did and remove alien | 23:16 |
| Sturm | it says segmentation fault (core dumped) | 23:16 |
| Sturm | where should I post that again? | 23:17 |
| sethk | EugeneB, if you are using APM, try ACPI, or v.v. | 23:17 |
| lontra | dfwlinuxguy: well its improved vastly over the years and it works for a lot of folks | 23:17 |
| EugeneB | I'm using ACPI | 23:17 |
| adrenergic | how will i connect with my dialup modem in GUI.... if it's username is 'abc' it's pass being 'xyz' it's phone # being '123' ... can anyone tell me the command | 23:17 |
| crimsun | jacob: by using alien for gnome, you possibly utterly skewed python-gobject, which is a dependency of exaile. Not very smooth. | 23:17 |
| clueless86 | how can i install dbus-1? apt-get install won't do it | 23:17 |
| EugeneB | with APM - nothing works - no sound, no PCMCIA | 23:17 |
| sethk | adrenergic, also, as someone suggested (sorry I don't remember who), the output of dmesg has important information. | 23:17 |
| jacob | crimsun: http://pastebin.com/m1cc22a66 | 23:17 |
| dfwlinuxguy | lontra...well that doesn't really help the people that still are having issues | 23:18 |
| crimsun | clueless86: libdbus-1-3 or libdbus-1-1? | 23:18 |
| sethk | adrenergic, paste the output of ls -l /dev/modem and the output of dmesg to the pastebin | 23:18 |
| Mp5 | gmonnerat have a dual screen,but i want in màin screen will take resoliution 1024x768 and when put in the "Screen and Graphics" and .. can't ;\ | 23:18 |

| kelsin | Sturm: http://www.audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1400 you can try that suggestion | 23:18 |
| zetheroo | when I save something to my Desktop I can never see it | 23:18 |
| EugeneB | I also see BAT1 00000080 ... messages in ACPI log every 10-15 seconds (battery charging) | 23:19 |
| diemos | hi | 23:19 |
| kelsin | Sturm: but if it really is a segfault you probably want to check with the audacity people, going to be tough to debug that from this channel | 23:19 |
| crimsun | jacob: my recommendation is to reinstall Ubuntu if you've really used alien to install gnome. | 23:19 |
| dfwlinuxguy | lontra..not really slamming anyone except the people who manufacture the hardware and won't release drivers | 23:19 |
| crimsun | jacob: and please don't use external repositories for (newer) packages like exaile. | 23:19 |
| clueless86 | crimsun: i think i need libdbus-1-1 | 23:19 |
| zetheroo | anyone have an idea why this is? | 23:19 |
| Sturm | would using a different version help? | 23:19 |
| crimsun | jacob: we have a procedure for requesting that newer versions from the current development version be backported to the currently supported stable releases. | 23:19 |
| urkud | zetheroo: Is it present in ~/Desktop? | 23:20 |
| Lapper | I'm using a MacBook with a Core 2 Duo processor. I downloaded the "64bit AMD and Intel" iso. Should I have downloaded a different one? | 23:20 |
| crimsun | clueless86: think or /know/ ? | 23:20 |
| zetheroo | urkud: no ... not even there | 23:20 |
| diemos | So, I'm trying to install ubuntu, I boot the livecd, see the bootsplash, but then my graphics are not displayed properly once X tries to start up | 23:20 |
| kelsin | Sturm: different version of audacity then what is packaged for ubuntu? Probably not, did you try clearing out the config folder (or backing it up) like that forum post said? | 23:20 |
| Omnius | zetheroo: it happened to me, it was saving it in another desktop | 23:20 |
| kelsin | diemos: I would download the alternate cd and do the test mode install | 23:20 |
| Sturm | just read that now.will try it | 23:20 |
| zetheroo | Omnius: how does that happen? | 23:21 |
| kelsin | diemos: then if you stil lhave issues at least you have a installed system to debug / figure out | 23:21 |
| sethk | adrenergic, I'm not ignoring you. It's been so many years since I used a modem, and I don't remember the commands. | 23:21 |
| diemos | kelsin: which cd? | 23:21 |
| sethk | dfwlinuxguy, as you said, they won't even release specs so other people can create a driver | 23:21 |
| === k4k-away is now known as k4k | ||
| k4k | sorry crdlb | 23:21 |
| kelsin | diemos: the alternate cd, on the ubuntu download page it's a check box at the bottom to download the alternate desktop cd | 23:22 |
| zetheroo | Omnius: do you know how to fix it? | 23:22 |
| sethk | dfwlinuxguy, there's often a reason for that. M$ makes exclusivity agreements with manufacturers. That's not always the reason, but it often is. | 23:22 |
| dfwlinuxguy | doesn't gnome-network-manager allow you to connect with a modem? | 23:22 |
| diemos | I'll check it out. | 23:22 |
| Extravert | hey does anyone know the command to dump a process? | 23:22 |
| diemos | thx | 23:22 |
| adrenergic | actually sethk.... i'm on windows now... and when i switch to ubuntu i won't be able to talk to you like this cuz i won't be connected | 23:22 |
| k4k | dfwlinuxguy, I believe it does as long as your user has the ability to use a modem | 23:22 |
| gmonnerat | Mp5: if you configure dual screen in screen and cards , the default configuration doesn't function | 23:22 |
| adrenergic | so i tried alot of times | 23:22 |

| zetheroo | Omnius: how do I fix this? | 23:23 |
| dfwlinuxguy | lontra..I agree...and if you are fortunate enough to have purchased a laptop that works, then you must be thrilled and pissed off if you didn't | 23:23 |
| diemos | well, i get two errors gergarding uvcd or something of the sort | 23:23 |
| diemos | during boot | 23:23 |
| Mp5 | gmonnerat,then how to fix this? ;\ | 23:23 |
| kelsin | clueless86: is the libdbus-1-dev package installed? | 23:23 |
| diemos | trying to install on my laptop >< | 23:23 |
| sethk | adrenergic, you can capture the info to a file, write it onto a memory stick or something else external, then boot windows and show it to us. | 23:23 |
| kelsin | clueless86: also make sure what you're trying to isntall isn't packaged already | 23:23 |
| diemos | Vaios are useless :( | 23:23 |
| adrenergic | okey sethk one second question | 23:23 |
| gmonnerat | Mp5: you are using nvidia? | 23:24 |
| sethk | adrenergic, ok. | 23:24 |
| dfwlinuxguy | k4k..using gnome-network-manager to create a ppp connection has to be tons easier than trying to explain how to set it up using textfiles | 23:24 |
| zetheroo | Omnius: there is no folder /root/Desktop ??? | 23:24 |
| Omnius | zetheroo: i assume you are saving files from your browser, when saving just navigate to /home/yourusername/Desktop and save there | 23:24 |
| clueless86 | kelsin: thanks, that was it! | 23:24 |
| k4k | dfwlinuxguy, I agree, but I don't know how to do it with gnome-network-manager because I have never used a ppp connection | 23:24 |
| Viper550 | dj? think you could play that "Snow (Hey Oh)" song? | 23:24 |
| k4k | I'm only assuming that the option would be there in gnome-network-manager if you are a user who can use them | 23:25 |
| Mp5 | gmonnerat, nvidia geforce 4 | 23:25 |
| adrenergic | sethk.... i burnt the DVD iso to DVD... and installed ubuntu from it.... but how'll i install all the rest of packages from it cuz when i try to install something it... it tries to get access to internet | 23:25 |
| sethk | dfwlinuxguy, absolutely. setting up a ppp connection manually is a true PITA | 23:25 |
| zetheroo | Omnius: nothing doing | 23:25 |
| Omnius | yeah there is | 23:25 |
| iNSTINCT | i need help with ubuntu anyone got a sec | 23:25 |
| zetheroo | Omnius: its still not there | 23:25 |
| sethk | adrenergic, in principle you can download the package files in windows, and create your own repository. You'll be doing a _lot_ of downloading, however. | 23:25 |
| gmonnerat | Mp5: good, installs nvidia-settings | 23:25 |
| dfwlinuxguy | sethk...yes I remember the days of pon and poff and ifconfig ppp0 up and editing the config files by hand | 23:25 |
| piksi | i accidentally removed the update notifications icon from the task bar and i cannot seem to find where to get it back even though the update-notifications daemon is starting on login - any obvious solution ? | 23:26 |
| k4k | dfwlinuxguy, actually, I just went over to my server and looked, it does allow you to setup a modem connection | 23:26 |
| Omnius | zetheroo: goto your file system | 23:26 |
| dfwlinuxguy | that's what I thought | 23:26 |
| kelsin | adrenergic: System -> Admin -> Software sources and make sure only the cd is checked then refresh and you should be goof | 23:26 |
| iNSTINCT | who knows alot about ubuntu display? | 23:26 |
| k4k | iNSTINCT, what do you need to know? | 23:26 |

| adrenergic | :) | 23:27 |
| iNSTINCT | text is unbelieveably small | 23:27 |
| abcde_ | !ask iNSTINCT | 23:27 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask instinct - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:27 |
| adrenergic | bye all LINUX rules | 23:27 |
| abcde_ | is that the syntax? | 23:27 |
| mike3 | iNSTINCT: So change the font size. :) | 23:27 |
| zetheroo | Omnius: ok... I tried another website and it worked..... but it seems that it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't | 23:27 |
| sethk | adrenergic, actually, I'm a rat, but I hide it well | 23:27 |
| iNSTINCT | !ask | 23:27 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 23:27 |
| gmonnerat | Mp5: next in the terminal, types nvidia-settings , go in "X server Display Configuration" | 23:27 |
| Sturm | where is libmp3lame.so on my computer? | 23:27 |
| adrenergic | lol sethk | 23:27 |
| mike3 | Sturm: Probably in your libraries | 23:27 |
| dfwlinuxguy | sethk...i've seen you here b4 right? | 23:28 |
| urkud | Sturm: use locate. | 23:28 |
| === eazyass is now known as analysisnewb | ||
| iNSTINCT | i did it doesent effect it, already tried | 23:28 |
| mike3 | Sturm: do a find / -name filename | 23:28 |
| Sturm | ? | 23:28 |
| kelsin | Sturm: "locate libmp3lame" might help | 23:28 |
| Sturm | in the terminal right? | 23:28 |
| wallsp | hello | 23:28 |
| Omnius | zetheroo: i always save my files to one location and then move them if needed | 23:28 |
| kelsin | Sturm: yes | 23:28 |
| abcde_ | Sturm, type "locate libmp3lame" in the terminal | 23:28 |
| wallsp | I would like to use ubuntu, | 23:28 |
| mike3 | iNSTINCT: possibly gdm is causing font issues. | 23:28 |
| urkud | Sturm: `locate filename` (yes) | 23:28 |
| wallsp | but I'am straignt. is ubuntu ok for me then? | 23:28 |
| iNSTINCT | gdm? | 23:28 |
| k4k | when I try to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database, it says that my password/username are incorrect for the database, how can I find out what it is so that I can finish setting up mythtv? | 23:28 |
| zetheroo | Omnius: yeah me too... this is the first time this has ever happened | 23:28 |
| Mp5 | gmonnerat and next steps?; \ | 23:28 |
| Sturm | thanks urkud:D | 23:29 |
| kelsin | k4k: what database are you using? | 23:29 |
| wallsp | straight even | 23:29 |
| Omnius | how do I give a bridge interface a gateway address? | 23:29 |
| mike3 | iNSTINCT: Gnome's login manager. I know that KDM's login manager can effect font issues with X. I don't know if this problem relates at all to your problem though. | 23:29 |
| k4k | kelsin, mysql | 23:29 |
| mike3 | Omnius: google my friend. | 23:29 |
| Omnius | i have mike3 | 23:29 |
| iNSTINCT | how do i access ADM? | 23:29 |
| kelsin | k4k: if you're running it on the same computer try to login with mysql by typing "mysql -h localhost -u <user> -p" it will prompt you for a password and you can test | 23:29 |
| Contrarian | I have a machine that I can connect w/ Samba but when I ping the name resolution fails? Any suggestions on how to resolve IP? | 23:29 |
| Omnius | and read howtos for 2 hours | 23:29 |
| gmonnerat | Mp5: connects the other monitor, presses in Detect Display | 23:29 |
| kelsin | k4k: if you havn't setup the username and password you'll have to look at the mysql docs on how to do that , I don't know offhand | 23:29 |
| Omnius | my eyes are bleeding | 23:29 |
| kelsin | k4k: I'm 95% sure that by default the mysql root user has no password, but I'm not sure about that, have to find out | 23:30 |
| Omnius | got it to work alright but cant assign a gateway address and there is nothing in the hotows | 23:30 |
| sethk | Omnius, route add default gw ###.###.###.### | 23:31 |
| sethk | Omnius, ###.... being the ip address, of course | 23:31 |
| vlt | Hello. Seems as if my 6.06's kernel 2.6.15 doesn't support my NIC. Even when I `modprobe forcedeth` it just prints out a status line "... nForce nic driver ... v 0.54". Still no device available ... Any idea what to do? | 23:31 |
| k4k | I have tried, root with no pass, root with multiple different passwords I have put on this machine, my account with all possible passwords I use, and my mythtv user account with all passwords I have used | 23:31 |
| iNSTINCT | «mike3» KDM what is it? | 23:31 |
| Omnius | sethk: cheers, i'll give it a try | 23:31 |
| brobostigon | k desktop manager + kdm | 23:32 |
| kelsin | k4k: and you just installed the mysql package? | 23:32 |
| brobostigon | = | 23:32 |
| gmonnerat | Mp5: now configure the monitors and restart the X | 23:32 |
| netdefilr | I recently have been hving problems shutting down ubuntu. It seems everything shuts down but it goes tro a black screen with a cursor blinking but doesnt turn off the laptop. Any ideas? | 23:32 |
| k4k | kelsin: I installed mythbuntu and mythtv + all dependancies | 23:32 |
| k4k | which includes mysql and others I believe | 23:32 |
| kelsin | k4k: what message does the mysql program spit out when you try with root and just hit enter at the password prompt? | 23:32 |
| sethk | I like to hit the laptop with a hammer. If it can't come up, then you don't care if it won't shut down. :) | 23:33 |
| netdefilr | starts up fine | 23:33 |
| kelsin | k4k: try "mythtv" and "password" as the password (on the command line) | 23:33 |
| sethk | netdefilr, I know, I was attempting to be funny | 23:33 |
| sethk | netdefilr, have you checked the log files? | 23:33 |
| Tim__ | hi, I just did a fresh ubuntu install because of some issues I had and now my wireless network isn't working, it asks for a wep passphrase but is use wpa, the live cd works fine, but not when I install ubuntu | 23:33 |
| iNSTINCT | thx | 23:33 |
| k4k | kelsin: access denied for root@localhost | 23:33 |
| Mp5 | gmonnerat hm okay,but is this driver - nvidia-glx , what i will be must have ?;\ | 23:34 |
| kelsin | k4k: it doesn't say "With password blank" or anything? | 23:34 |
| k4k | I also checked the /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt which has the mythtv database info in it, but it's not working there either | 23:34 |
| Squee | How do I go about checking if my computer recognizes that I have a scanner connected, in ubuntu Fiesty? | 23:34 |
| Sturm | audacity still closes | 23:34 |
| whta | when I had beryl, if i moved my cursor to the top right corner, it laid out all the open windows on the screen for me to pick from. how can i get that in CF? | 23:34 |
| k4k | kelsin:(Using Password: NO) | 23:34 |
| Codenut | When I installed SSH, I ended up with SSH 2. Putty does not support this. What client is the one most liked by the group? | 23:34 |
| Tim__ | any tips? | 23:34 |
| Dr_willis | whta, thats one of the plugins.. install the ccsm tool and check out all the plugins. I forget what one did that. | 23:35 |
| kelsin | k4k: k4k damn :-( Probably need to google around for the default mythuntu mysql password, cause clearly it's not setting up mysql like the ubuntu default :-( | 23:35 |
| pianist | good evening | 23:35 |
| jusu | good evening.... | 23:35 |
| gmonnerat | Mp5: your nvidia are installed and in use? | 23:35 |
| operator011 | Codenut: SSH2 is SSH1's replacement.There were some weaknesses in SHA1 that led the move SSH2 | 23:35 |
| jusu | infidel!! | 23:35 |
| whta | Dr_willis: i just went through every plugin and somehow i have missed it. | 23:35 |
| kelsin | putty supports ssh2 | 23:35 |
| abcde_ | I am unable to get Tracker to search my drive. It works for a few searches, then breaks, showing no results. I run "trackerd -v 2 -R", and after it indexes, I can search a bit, then nothing. I'm searching with tracker-search-tool. Any ideas? | 23:35 |
| jerbear | anyone in here familiar with python's easy_install and use album art files in their music collection? | 23:35 |

| Dr_willis | whta, it may of been under expo, or somthing like that. It never worked well for me with 2 monitors. so i dont mess with it much | 23:35 |
| operator011 | If you're going to use keys, the RSA key length must be > 256, otherwise use DSA | 23:36 |
| Codenut | I will check, thanks guys. You are always a lot of help. | 23:36 |
| kelsin | Codenut: at least the current version on their download page does :) | 23:36 |
| operator011 | Codenut: Check the SSH protocol page on Wikipedia for more info. | 23:36 |
| pianist | how can i fix my problem | 23:36 |
| whta | Dr_willis: expo only does workspaces.. i guess i'll just have to keep searching | 23:37 |
| Tim__ | does anybody know where networkmanager stores preferences? | 23:37 |
| kelsin | pianist: so far you've said you're having a problem with video and sound, can you be more specific about what you want to do and what's happening/ or whate errors your getting? | 23:37 |

| brandon_ | i keep getting the bulletproof x startup screen, although fglrx is loaded | 23:38 |
| Omnius | sethk: your a bloody genius, thyanks heaps | 23:38 |
| Tim__ | anybody? | 23:38 |
| Codenut | I just logged into my 7.04 machine just fine. tnx | 23:38 |
| abcde_ | brandon_, What is your video card? fglrx is only needed for x1*** | 23:38 |

| btard | I am trying to install the newest drivers for my graphics card. I've been using the ones from the ATI site, but I do not believe they are the correct ones (non-ubuntu). where would I find the correct ones? | 23:38 |
| Omnius | i've been trying for months to do that | 23:38 |
| brandon_ | abcde_: 2600xt | 23:38 |
| Codenut | Used Putty, don't know why I even had an issue ;-) | 23:38 |
| gmonnerat | Mp5: yes understand | 23:39 |
| Codenut | + | 23:39 |
| pianist | ok when i play a video file the picture is in frames like robot when its full screen but when its small its ok | 23:39 |
| Codenut | Does anyone here use synergy to use two monitors with Ubuntu? | 23:39 |
| Tim__ | hello? | 23:39 |
| operator011 | Codenut: Were you trying to use a keylength smaller than 256-bit? There's a known problem with RSA keys less than 256 bits. | 23:39 |
| abcde_ | brandon_, Yeah, you need it, I didn't want you to go to the trouble if you didn't need it. | 23:39 |
| tic^ | Codenut, why use putty? SSH is built in.. | 23:39 |
| btard | I am trying to install the newest drivers for my graphics card. I've been using the ones from the ATI site, but I do not believe they are the correct ones (non-ubuntu). where would I find the correct ones? | 23:39 |
| Codenut | I can be hacked? | 23:39 |
| abcde_ | btard, What is your video card? fglrx is only needed for x1*** | 23:39 |
| btard | I have a 9200 | 23:40 |
| juano__ | Tim__ /etc/resolv.conf for names /etc/networks also | 23:40 |

| Mp5 | gmonnerat i will be check now ;\ | 23:40 |
| btard | abcde_: I have a 9200 | 23:40 |
| operator011 | Codenut: It's not really worth worrying about on a personal machine. | 23:40 |
| kelsin | Codenut: I use synergy, but just ask your question if you have a question about synergy | 23:40 |
| Tim__ | juano__, do you have an idea why wireless works on the livecd but not when I install ubuntu? | 23:40 |
| brandon_ | abcde_: rdm says it is enabled, but it hink i may have a problem getting it to control my monitor | 23:40 |
| abcde_ | btard, Two things, one don't repeat that fast, people are unlikely to help if you ask that fast. I wouldn't have, if I saw the second time you asked before I pressed enter. | 23:40 |
| yaaar | word | 23:40 |
| T1m0thy | Soup, /b/tard? | 23:40 |
| punkgy | does anybody know of a tool that will let me make an iso file out of a dvd that is in my dvd drive? | 23:40 |
| yaaar | does totem+gstreamer really not work with dvd's properly? e.g. with menus and such? | 23:41 |
| btard | Sorry. My fault. | 23:41 |
| Codenut | Ok I am assuming then that synergy works fine with ubuntu, thanks. I really want a streaming screen for chat. | 23:41 |
| abcde_ | brandon_, I don't know how to install it, I was just making sure you wouldn't go to the trouble if you didn't have to. I can't help there | 23:41 |
| juano__ | Tim__ did you install the driver at the restricted drivers manager ? | 23:41 |
| mike3 | Omnius: I'm sure you just set the default gateway under route. Then the bridge will use the gateway. | 23:41 |
| btard | t1m0thy: lolwut? | 23:41 |
| juano__ | Tim__ check System ---> administration ----> restricted drivers | 23:41 |
| abcde_ | Codenut, Are the two monitors on Ubuntu, or one Ubuntu and the other on another OS? | 23:41 |
| juano__ | Tim__ see if your card is listed there | 23:41 |

| Codenut | I am trying to plan the system from the advise of the consensus of people. Kind of trying to learn hard lessons over and over. | 23:42 |
| abcde_ | btard, With a 9200 you don't need fglrx. | 23:42 |
| sparkymist | how is everyone? | 23:42 |
| Kienur | i got a problem with suspend: after a restart, i get a black screen only, but with a mouse on it. after ctrl/alt/back and relog i get no wallpaper nor icons on the desktop, but the panels are there - using nvidia and feisty | 23:42 |
| Tim__ | juano__, no the driver is installed by default, I can see the network in the network-manager list, when I click on it running the livecd it asks for my wpa key I enter it and it works, when I click on it on my installed Ubuntu it asks for a wep passphrase which is obviously wrong and it doesn't work | 23:42 |
| ton1 | Synaptic Package Manager hangs when I try to make changes using the Preferences dialog window. is there any way to make these changes without using the GUI? | 23:43 |
| === javaJ is now known as javaJake | ||
| btard | abcde_, So it needs no additional drivers? | 23:43 |
| Codenut | not learn lessons, sorry | 23:43 |
| kelsin | ton1: what change did you want? | 23:43 |
| gmonnerat | Mp5: my friend have this same problem with gforce, but i don't know if he resolved | 23:43 |
| juano__ | Tim__ it doesnt show wpa option when you click on your network showing on nm-applet ? | 23:43 |
| ton1 | kelsin: I'm trying to make changes in the Network to remove a Proxy setting | 23:43 |
| Codenut | Can I use the same computer with two monitors??? If so, what do I do? | 23:43 |
| Tim__ | juano__, no, just wep and leap | 23:44 |
| Codenut | OS would be Ubuntu | 23:44 |
| ton1 | kelsin: When I click apply, the application hangs | 23:44 |
| mibbit | Hi how do I diagnose iptables firewall issue, it all looks fine to me but connection is refused. How do I know why it was refused? | 23:44 |
| jacob | crimsun: can i boot to rescue cd and replace my system? | 23:44 |
| crimsun | jacob: yes. | 23:44 |
| kelsin | Codenut: if you have two monitor outs and a grpahics card that supports both yes. Synergy doesn't let you display things on the second monitor, just use the keyboard and mouse from one computer to control the other as well | 23:44 |
| rapid | Codenut: plug them in. configure twinview or xinerama | 23:44 |
| jacob | crimsun: without having to lose data | 23:44 |
| pianist | how can i take out atheros hardvare acces layer | 23:44 |
| crimsun | jacob: no. | 23:44 |
| juano__ | Tim__ mmm.... check synaptic and search for wpasupplicant | 23:45 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | #windows | 23:45 |

| Tim__ | juano__, it's a base Ubuntu install so its installed by default | 23:45 |
| geck1 | Thanks everyone who helped earlier, I finally got my sound working =) I had to disable onboard sound from my bios. next question, I want to change the theme of ubuntu, and i'm looking on gnome-look.org. how do I know which ones I can use (gtk, compiz, beryl, gnome, kde) its all greek to me =P | 23:45 |
| brandon_ | is there anybody here who does know about fglrx? | 23:45 |
| Mp5 | and goodnight now all :) | 23:45 |
| juano__ | Tim__ weird wpa doesnt show up as an option in the connect window prompt | 23:46 |
| jacob | crimsun: in other words, how can i do to restore my system in rescue mode | 23:46 |
| crimsun | jacob: it's obviated by my latter answer. | 23:46 |
| Codenut | Thanks for your time gang, it seems my system is not working right now. | 23:46 |
| Codenut | cheers, | 23:46 |
| juano__ | Tim__ there is an automatic option i think | 23:46 |
| juano__ | Tim__ is there ? | 23:46 |
| juano__ | Tim__ also check to see in network settings if your card is in roaming mode | 23:47 |
| Tim__ | juano__, no, network-manager automatically chooses what it thinks is the right one | 23:47 |
| === xok`` is now known as x0k | ||
| Tom47 | inga i see you made it ok | 23:47 |
| juano__ | Tim__ it should be on roaming mode, you shoudn't need to set anything manually | 23:47 |
| === x0k is now known as x0k`` | ||
| Tim__ | juano__, yes it is in roaming mode, otherwise the networks wouldn't even show up | 23:47 |
| juano__ | Tim__ yep | 23:47 |
| gmonnerat | Mp5: yes, ok. | 23:48 |
| geck1 | does anyone know how i can tell what themes I can use (compiz, beryl, gtk, metacity)....I'm looking on gnome-look.org, and theres a lot of different ones, but I assume I can only use one type? | 23:48 |
| Tim__ | juano__, it has to be seomthing in my /home folder because that's the only point where the livecd and my installed version differ | 23:48 |

| kane77 | what is the nicest jabber client? (I want to make my sister switch to jabber ;)) | 23:48 |
| MattJ | kane77: I like Gajim best | 23:48 |
| kelsin | deprecatd: if you don't have the 3d visual effects on then metacity, if you do then the compiz ones. GTK themes theme the buttons and widget on your desktop, not the windows | 23:48 |
| kelsin | kane77: I like pidgin for everything | 23:49 |
| Dr_willis | geck1, compiz has its own themes, its the same as beryl, it can also set up and use the gtk themes.. | 23:49 |
| Tom47 | !install > inga | 23:49 |
| MattJ | kane77: But it's always a matter of preference :) | 23:49 |
| geck1 | ok, I'm not exactly sure what all that means, i'll look them up and learn a bit =P | 23:49 |
| tekteen | anyone know how to make a remastered alt. install cd get some packages from a local apt-cacher server? | 23:49 |
| geck1 | thanks | 23:49 |
| brobostigon | only prob with pidgin, no video, no voip. | 23:49 |
| ArthurArchnix | The default python program that comes with ubuntu is just run in the terminal, is there some other program that would be better suited? like a text editor with a python plugin | 23:49 |
| Zaqio | I have a big problem on pc, I just installed Linux on my other pc and it can't find the hard drive to boot linux | 23:50 |
| kelsin | geck1: compiz / beryl / metacity are all windows managers, so those themes theme your windows borders depending on which one you're using. GTK is the buttons and other widgets (scroll bars, checkboxes and stuff) | 23:50 |
| jrib | ArthurArchnix: better suited for what? | 23:50 |
| juano__ | Tim__ have you checked the wireless docs ? | 23:50 |
| MattJ | kane77: Gajim is Jabber-only, but it supports more of Jabber than Pidgin does | 23:50 |
| kane77 | MattJ, what more of jabber? | 23:50 |
| kelsin | ArthurArchnix: gedit can edit python files with syntax highlighting, and both vi and emacs (the good text editors) have suport for python and have X versions | 23:50 |
| MattJ | kane77: More of Jabber's functionality | 23:51 |
| Tim__ | juano__, where are those? | 23:51 |
| juano__ | !wpa | Tim__ | 23:51 |
| ubotu | Tim__: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:51 |
| MattJ | kane77: Browsing services, and registering, not sure exactly what else | 23:51 |
| kane77 | MattJ, hmm.. didn't know that.. but I guess I'm okay with pidgin.. and well sister prefers looks over anything else :) | 23:52 |
| Dr_willis | ArthurArchnix, better suited for what? | 23:52 |
| Tim__ | the real question still remains, why does it work perfectly on the livecd and not on a real install? where is the difference | 23:52 |
| ArthurArchnix | jrib: Saving files, navigating, cutting and pasting. | 23:52 |
| bolt | what's the easiest way of putting the bootable cd on a usb drive? i want to install to a computer that has no cd-rom or floppy or pxe-compatible network card | 23:52 |

| MattJ | kane77: See http://gajim.org/ for screenshots :) | 23:53 |
| Dr_willis | bolt, check the Install factoid site. it has info on doing that. | 23:53 |
| Dr_willis | !install bolt | 23:53 |

| ArthurArchnix | A text editor like gedit is easier for me to do those things the terminal. I've found the python plugin in for gedit (thanks kelsin). | 23:53 |
| lufis | Would compiling the latest xorg break my gutsy system? | 23:53 |
| jrib | ArthurArchnix: you don't need any plugin though | 23:54 |
| kelsin | lufis: why do you want to do this? | 23:54 |
| lufis | kelsin: because the repo's version is messing up | 23:54 |
| juano__ | Tim__ try this sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome | 23:54 |
| amp | i have a problem getting voice in yahoo ( Gyachi-E ) ...It says it needs theses files tsd32.dll and tssoft.acm | 23:54 |
| sethk | amp, those are windows files | 23:54 |
| kelsin | lufis: how so? If you don't have lots of experience compiling / install software on a linux system, then trying to do it with xorg is probably not a safe bet, esp if you don't know the full reason why you want to do it | 23:55 |
| sethk | amp, they should have a linux version. At least I hope they do. | 23:55 |
| lufis | kelsin: i know what i'm doing, i'm just wondering if it would mess anything up | 23:55 |
| juano__ | Tim__ then this sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart | 23:55 |
| Tim__ | juano__, well I'm currently in windows... but I know that this command wouldn't do anything except to tell me that it's already installed | 23:55 |
| kazol | What are some good games for Linux (besides America's Army)? | 23:55 |
| juano__ | Tim__ well try reinstalling it then | 23:55 |
| juano__ | Tim__ thats the idea | 23:55 |
| amp | I have a problem with the program “Gyach” to run in yahoo but now when I click to get sound/voice in the yahoo chat room I get this message saying | 23:55 |
| amp | “Cannot run gyvoice due to the following missing files: tsd32.dll and tssoft.acm | 23:55 |
| kelsin | kazol: unreal 2004 and soon tournament 3 | 23:55 |
| Q_Continuum | Wireless bug/issue: No way to force Ubuntu to rescan for available wireless networks via the GUI - I notice this issue 1) when I power-cycle the wireless router and 2) when I return from hibernate in a different location, without the network I was connected to when I first entered hibernation. | 23:55 |
| sethk | kelsin, lufis is quite correct. I've been a programmer for 35 years, and I've built just about every package from scratch, and xorg took me three days. | 23:56 |
| === khaladan- is now known as khaladan | ||
| lufis | sethk: so it's basically openoffice? :p | 23:56 |
| Tim__ | ok I'll reboot and try that | 23:56 |
| tekteen | anyone know how to make a remastered alt. install cd get some (or all) packages from a local apt-cacher server? | 23:56 |
| Tim__ | brb | 23:56 |
| juano__ | Tim__ ok | 23:56 |
| kelsin | sethk: :) no where did I say you shouldn't do it, or that it will 100% break your system, but if you don't have a good reason for bypassing the packaging system, and don't know what you're doing then clearly you should not be compiling xorg from scratch, that's the only point I was trying to make | 23:56 |
| sethk | lufis, comparable | 23:57 |
| sam_ | can somebody tell me why I'm getting this error: | 23:57 |
| sethk | kelsin, no argument here | 23:57 |
| sam_ | woops | 23:57 |
| lufis | sethk: i am pretty sure it's not my monitor, because when going to a tty things are fine. The bottom of the screen flickers and there are other abnormalities | 23:57 |
| sethk | lufis, if there is a frame buffer enabled, disable it. | 23:58 |
| lufis | sethk: well i've been on the same hardware for a while... i'm using a custom kernel but it's just now starting to act up and i've been using that kernel for a while | 23:58 |
| lufis | sethk: so i dunno what's up | 23:58 |
| sethk | lufis, it used to work without this problem, and you've not reconfigured? | 23:58 |
| Ominous | how do you flush dns in ubuntu? | 23:59 |
| lufis | sethk: nope | 23:59 |
| kelsin | Ominous: unless you're running a dns server (bind etc) there is no dns caching by default | 23:59 |
| sethk | lufis, if it's not the monitor, then it's the graphics board | 23:59 |
| kelsin | Ominous: what issue are you experiencing? | 23:59 |
| lufis | sethk: graphics is onboard | 23:59 |
