| gmonnerat | somebody use compiz and avant-window-navigator, the processing is very slow? | 00:04 |
| Dr_willis | i found avant-window-navigator a bit slow.. and well.. not very useable on my system. so i dident try it for more then 20 min. | 00:05 |
| eth01 | would i be ok to uncomment this in sysctl.conf > net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=1 | 00:05 |
| echosystm | guys, swiftfox vs. netscape 9 | 00:06 |
| echosystm | which would be quicker? | 00:06 |
| wsv123456 | whats the link to video config | 00:07 |
| Dr_willis | echosystm, ive never seen any decent info on how to even 'test/benchmark' how fast a browser is. | 00:07 |
| mellery | I'm having problems installing java, when I try to run a program i get an exception with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, I think i'm missing PATHS but I dont know what I need | 00:07 |
| gmonnerat | Dr_willis: when i use compiz and i am using firefox the system lock few seconds. i am using gutsy | 00:07 |
| mellery | can anyone help? | 00:07 |
| Dr_willis | gmonnerat, does it never lockup when you got compiz dissabled? | 00:08 |
| kelsin | mellery: you need your classpath env variable to contain whatever jar or file you need to run, what program are you trying to run? | 00:08 |
| wsv123456 | how do I play a dvd in gutsy? What is the update or upgrade | 00:09 |
| mellery | kelsin, thanks for the reply, its reprap-host.sh | 00:09 |
| kelsin | mellery: you can also set the classpath on the java command line with the -cp flag, ussually java programs come with some sort of shell script to start them with the right classpath, where didyou install this from? | 00:09 |
| mellery | I got it from sourceforge | 00:09 |
| jrib | !dvd > wsv123456 (read the private message from ubotu) | 00:10 |
| Tim__ | juano__, ok when I booted Ubuntu know it did ask me for the wpa, but it still didn't connect | 00:10 |
| mellery | kelsin: sourceforge | 00:10 |
| jgrout | whats the best desklets app? | 00:10 |
| juano__ | Tim__ ok, check to see if you have TKIP , did you select it ? | 00:11 |
| kazol | jgrout: gdesklets | 00:11 |
| kelsin | mellery: are you running it from the folder where reprap.jar is> | 00:11 |
| kelsin | mellery: ? | 00:11 |
| mellery | kelsin, yes | 00:11 |
| juano__ | Tim__ when it connects it should show some blue bars instead of the ordinary network manager icon | 00:11 |
| kazol | jgrout: Check out gdesklets.de for more desklets. | 00:11 |
| jgrout | thanks | 00:11 |
| kelsin | mellery: did you install java from the ubuntu package? sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre? | 00:12 |
| naelr | can anyone answer an ndiswrapper question for me | 00:12 |
| Tim__ | juano__, no I selected WPA. yes I know how ir looks like when it works, but it only spins the balls on my install, except every tenth time or so, then it shows 1 blue bar but still doesn't work | 00:12 |
| kazol | jgrout: np; The GoodWeather desklet is very cool-you should check it out. | 00:12 |
| jrib | naelr: best to just ask the question and find out | 00:12 |
| jgrout | kazol: will do | 00:12 |
| mellery | kelsin, when I type java -cp I get -cp requires class path specification, and I'm using sun-java5-jre from the ubuntu repository | 00:12 |
| goldbond | which brand of graphics card should i chose for my linux box? | 00:13 |
| naelr | should i need to recomplie ndsiwrapper for a newer kernel.. say 2.6.22 to 2.6.24 | 00:13 |
| Tim__ | juano__, under the livecd or when it used to work on my real install it alwys showed three bars after succesfully connecting | 00:13 |
| carnelain | I get error message: could not connect to video device in camorama. But webcam works fine in cheese. Whats wrong? | 00:13 |
| kelsin | mellery: well in this case the program is only one jar and it's specified in the sh script with -jar on the command line, so defining a classpath isn't your issue in this case | 00:13 |
| Tim__ | juano__, so I should look whether I can select TKIP and try it with that? | 00:13 |
| gmonnerat | Dr_willis: Once or twice, but when it is with compiz and avant-window-navigator occurs more often . i don't believe that this occurs because of compiz or avant , but occurs more often | 00:13 |
| kazol | jgrout: http://www.gdesklets.de/index.php?q=desklet/view/171 <Highly recommend this | 00:13 |
| mellery | kelsin: the script has java -Xmx384M -jar Reprap.jar | 00:14 |
| juano__ | Tim__ yes cause if your router is configured with WPA/WPA2 with TKIP there is an option in the same connect prompt window below the menu where you select wpa which lets you select TKIP | 00:14 |
| kelsin | mellery: I know, I just downloaded it, so the error is this javax/vecmath/Tuple3d error? | 00:15 |
| Tim__ | juano__, ok I'll try it out, and report after rebootin... | 00:15 |
| mellery | kelsin, correct | 00:15 |

| Q_Continuum | john-mike: back up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and give it a try. (backing up that file means you can restore to your existing setup) | 00:17 |
| Pelo | john-mike, boot the recovery mode and enter sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select the vesa driver, then you will be able to boot gui and reinstall the driver you had before | 00:18 |

| KnickLighter | hmmm no | 00:21 |
| Babble | n/m | 00:21 |
| KnickLighter | On the main disk, where ubuntu is. | 00:21 |
| Pelo | Babble, try /list or /channel in the server window if there is such a thing in pidgin | 00:21 |
| Pelo | KnickLighter, start by searching the error msg in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org , that might yeild some info | 00:22 |
| kelsin | mellery: yeah that vecmath library is not installed by default in ubuntu, trying to find out how to instlal it now, but I don't know | 00:22 |
| LOGAN | hello, are there ubuntu flash ads available to use? | 00:22 |
| Javid | Is it true that I can just swap my hard drive with ubuntu on it into a whole other computer and it will, more or less, work? | 00:22 |
| KnickLighter | I tried google, But thank's ill take a look and let you guys know if it helped me | 00:22 |
| Javid | people who advertise with flash should be beaten with shovels | 00:22 |
| mellery | kelsin, thanks, i can find it, I know what the real problem is now. thanks for the help! | 00:22 |
| Pelo | KnickLighter, but I am afraid you will need to reinstall, making a seperate partiton and copying your /home folder to it will be of great help in the future for such cirucmstances | 00:22 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | !source | 00:22 |
| ubotu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 00:22 |
| Dr_willis | Javid, i like it - its easier to block their ads. :) | 00:22 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | how can i get ubuntus source code | 00:23 |
| jrib | tuxthepenguin533: ubotu just told you | 00:23 |

| 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? | 00:23 |
| Javid | Dr_willis, makes no difference to me, but I suppose that may be true | 00:23 |
| tony_math | game: the version is 0.60ubuntu5. I'm running Gutsy | 00:23 |
| Javid | Pelo, that's better than windows does, so it's good enough :] | 00:23 |
| Dr_willis | Javid, i get so sick of those 'click the monkey' ads :) | 00:23 |
| kelsin | mellery: http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/RepRapLinuxSoftware this might help | 00:23 |
| Javid | Dr_willis, I have not seen an ad in years, firefox is my special love monkey | 00:23 |
| kazol | jgrout: Yes | 00:24 |
| Pelo | Javid, windows isn't even garantied to work in the same computer if you do nothing to it | 00:24 |
| KnickLighter | Yea i thought of that too, Pelo | 00:24 |
| Dr_willis | Javid, Shame! you are the reason the internet is going broke! :P | 00:24 |
| KnickLighter | I don't have much important things on my server.. Well, I might, but I don't think I will miss them. | 00:24 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | how can i get ubuntus source code | 00:24 |
| Javid | Pelo, this is true, but no linux drivers exist for my video capture hardware, so I may need to switch, I plan to just swap out the drives as needed rather than dualbooting | 00:24 |
| Pelo | tuxthepenguin533, on the www.ubuntu.com site, somewhere | 00:25 |
| kex | hey. is beryl in the respiratories? because i do not find it :( | 00:25 |
| Javid | kex, it was last I looked | 00:25 |
| Tim__ | juano__, ok the apparantly the wpa was a one time thing, I rebooted a few times and it only asks me for wep again | 00:25 |
| Javid | kex, apt-cache search beryl | 00:25 |
| kelsin | tuxthepenguin533: if you have an ubuntu install you can also get the source for any package with "apt-get source <package>" | 00:25 |
| Tim__ | this is driving me crazy :( | 00:25 |
| juano__ | Tim__ me too | 00:25 |
| kex | Javid, i dont find it in the synaptic, ok ill try that | 00:25 |
| Pelo | Javid, you can use windows driver in ubuntu using ndiswrapper , not sure it will work for your videocapture hardware but it is worth exploring | 00:25 |
| LOGAN | just see on some website an ubuntu ad (a small movie, people pushing a chair with "you got better things to do at the office" | 00:25 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | kelsin: where would the source code be placed | 00:25 |
| juano__ | Tim__ so it appears randomly at boot-time | 00:26 |
| LOGAN | are these ads available somewhere? | 00:26 |
| kelsin | tuxthepenguin533: it will download the source code for the package into the current directory | 00:26 |
| Javid | Pelo, ndis is for wireless drivers | 00:26 |
| juano__ | Tim__ you login as same user everytime ? | 00:26 |
| Pelo | Javid, only ? | 00:26 |
| kex | Javid, that command gave me nothing | 00:26 |
| Tim__ | juano__, yes | 00:26 |
| kelsin | tuxthepenguin533: it does now save where it downloaded, just gives you the files, you can remove when you want etc | 00:26 |
| Javid | Pelo, as far as I know, the 'n' means network | 00:26 |
| Javid | kex, where did you do that | 00:26 |
| juano__ | Tim__ from windows you are able to connect to the wireless without and trouble ? | 00:26 |
| kex | Javid, terminal | 00:26 |
| Tim__ | juano__, yes, and also from the ubuntu livecd | 00:27 |
| Javid | kex, you may not have the right repositories, ask in #ubuntu-effects | 00:27 |
| LOGAN | i tried searching the ubuntu sie but did not get any search results | 00:27 |
| Pelo | LOGAN, what were yo searching for ? | 00:27 |
| kex | Javid, ok thank you :) | 00:27 |
| Javid | I have about eight billion unofficial repositories added, so because I have it may mean nothing to others | 00:27 |
| Javid | I really need a script for this channel that will make my conversations with others go into PM-like windows so I can keep up with the spam x.x | 00:28 |
| juano__ | Tim__ mm its amazing that you can connect from the livecd and not from your installed ubuntu... | 00:28 |
| juano__ | Tim__ there is wpa_supplicant.conf file | 00:28 |
| Tim__ | juano__, yep, it makes me believe that some config is broke in my home dir, but I have no idea what | 00:29 |
| Pelo | Javid, make one, pearl is good for that | 00:29 |
| kelsin | Javid: as long as you and others you are conversing with include the nicknames at the front, most clients highlight lines nicely | 00:29 |
| LOGAN | pelo I just seen an ubuntu advertisement on www.itbusinessedge.com some blog had a movie, Im looking for these movie ads for ubuntu | 00:29 |
| Javid | kelsin, I know this, I'm just feeling scripty | 00:29 |
| juano__ | Tim__ yea that would be the most accurate... but still can't think of what | 00:29 |
| Javid | Pelo, see above :D | 00:29 |
| Pelo | LOGAN, they may not be official | 00:29 |
| Javid | Pelo, I hate perl, I'm gonna do it in mirc, wish xchat had a plugin for that | 00:29 |
| _seanc_ | Hi, quick question. I have a dual core processor, someone mentioned that I'd need to recompile my applications for dual core support, true or false? | 00:30 |
| kelsin | Javid: these is also a script for irssi that makes a highlight window that gets any hightlighted messages in it, can help out too | 00:30 |
| Tim__ | juano__, where is that wpa_supplicant.conf? | 00:30 |
| LOGAN | pelo but it was a great ad, does ubuntu have ads people can use? | 00:30 |
| Shyde | tuxthepenguin533: without having checked: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/source/ | 00:30 |
| tritium | _seanc_: false | 00:30 |
| Pelo | Javid, you can do python to , xchat handles it as well | 00:30 |
| john-mike | Ha ha, I'm back. Ok, I updated the ATI driver. How do I make sure that's what's being used by the computer right now? | 00:30 |
| Javid | Pelo, I know xchat does everything imaginable, but it doesn't do mirc ^^ | 00:30 |
| Pelo | LOGAN, not realy sure , I don't know that part of it , I'm just your basic helpfull home user | 00:30 |

| SwitchCase | thanks ubotu | 00:31 |
| Pelo | LOGAN, check in the fridge section I think it is called, loads of user made stuff in there | 00:31 |
| Javid | Pelo, I'm weird like that | 00:31 |
| juano__ | Tim__ sure try that... i thought it was in the /etc/ there is a dir in /etc/ called wpa_supplicant but that file doesn't show up | 00:32 |
| LOGAN | http://www.itbusinessedge.com/blogs/osb/index.php/blogs/osb/index.php it shows sometimes inhere | 00:32 |

| Pelo | Javid, complian to markham ( I think that's his name) get him to port to linux | 00:32 |
| _seanc_ | tritium: sweet, so the applications will automatically utilize the dual core? | 00:32 |
| LOGAN | I already seen 2 different ones | 00:32 |
| kelsin | LOGAN: you can find these videos on youtube also | 00:32 |
| Javid | Pelo, it runs in wine, but a lot of the add-ons don't, no way around this | 00:32 |

| ubotu | hellsdark: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 00:33 |
| hellsdark | Is Somebody using rtorrent ? | 00:33 |
| Javid | Pelo, I think we can generally rage against closed source software in general and call it good | 00:33 |
| pablin | how to install soundblaster xi fi in ubuntu 7.04 | 00:33 |
| LOGAN | Pelo : I dont know. I dont use adblocks :) | 00:34 |
| tritium | _seanc_: yes | 00:34 |
| Javid | pelo, logan, I don't see it either | 00:34 |
| LOGAN | kelsin : aah thanks Ill check there. hope they are downloadable | 00:34 |
| kelsin | hellsdark: just ask your question | 00:34 |
| deal_ | I've just installed all the extra effects with cube and such. But have not figured out yet how to wright with fire, anyone can help me ? | 00:34 |
| Pelo | Javid, I don't rage against close source, I have no problem with close source I just tried ubuntu after years of bitching about windows and found it to be a pleasurable computing experience, so I stuck with it | 00:34 |
| LOGAN | they are mixed between IBM adds and other adds that rotate | 00:34 |
| hellsdark | i would like to use rtorrent via ssh but just in order to see the download status | 00:34 |
| Javid | Pelo, me too, minus the bitching. I run about 50/50 ubuntu/xp on my computers | 00:35 |
| kelsin | hellsdark: I would use screen | 00:35 |
| * Pelo 's got adblock+ and that thing that stops java and flash from starting automaticaly, browsing is now very enjoyable | 00:35 | |
| kelsin | hellsdark: you type screen, then once inside screen you run rtorrant and start your downloads, then you "disconnect" from this session by typing Ctrl-A D. | 00:35 |
| hellsdark | kelsin: yes, but what about the rtorrent running ? | 00:35 |
| Javid | pelo, me too, plus user agent switcher, so people can't block me for that either | 00:35 |
| deal_ | I'm still in rehab!! Windows get you hooked! Now I'm in rehab! And gonna stay (windows)clean from now on :-D | 00:35 |
| kelsin | hellsdark: later when you ssh in, you type "screen -r" and reconnect to that session | 00:35 |
| hellsdark | kelsin: can i have several rtorrent running ? | 00:36 |
| _seanc_ | tritium: you sir, are my hero. | 00:36 |

| riotkittie | hmm. i wonder if my flash probs tie in with ab+ | 00:36 |
| kelsin | hellsdark: why would you want to? :) but you could I guess | 00:36 |
| john-mike | Does anyone know how I can check what driver I'm using for my video card? | 00:36 |
| riotkittie | deal_: err. fire/flame whatever plugin? | 00:36 |
| crimsun | non-free Flash 9 is a PITA. | 00:36 |
| Pelo | Javid, I almost never boot xp anymore, I just need to find a decent autocad alternative and i'll never boot windows again | 00:36 |
| deal_ | riotkittie: Gimme 2 sec, I'll check. | 00:36 |
| hellsdark | kelsin: in order to not disturb the rtorrent that is running, i don't want to close it :p | 00:36 |
| riotkittie | john-mike: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver | 00:36 |
| kelsin | hellsdark: rtorrent handles multiple torrent files simulatneously as it is | 00:36 |
| danbhfive | john-mike: i think you cant check your xorg.conf | 00:36 |
| kelsin | hellsdark: you mean the one that's running right now? | 00:36 |
| hellsdark | kelsin: i know | 00:36 |
| hellsdark | kelsin: yes | 00:36 |
| HoboPrimate | Hey! anyone ever had problems with a broadcom wireless chip, which connects to the router but says in /var/log/messages "no IPv6 routers found" (no wonder, my router doesn't support ipv6, but my computer should then revert to ipv4, right?) | 00:37 |
| kelsin | hellsdark: just stop it with ctrl-q quickly, and then restart, it takes a second to get back up to speed, but it doesn't download anyhthing twice | 00:37 |
| Javid | pelo, hmm, my cad stuff runs in wine pretty well (better than on vista actually) | 00:37 |
| deal_ | riotkittie: Directly translated from norwegian would be 'paint fire on screen' =) | 00:37 |
| Pelo | Javid, acad does not run well on wine at all , what cad stuff ar you using ? | 00:37 |

| hellsdark | kelsin: kelsin hum i think i'll kill it and use screen as you said | 00:37 |
| Javid | Pelo, a much simpler program built for the machines I use, it will run on just about anything win95+ | 00:38 |
| kelsin | hellsdark: screen is a great great tool, look up some of the tutorials about it, it will help in MANY situations esp if you ssh alot, this irssi session is in screen for me, so when I go to work I just connect to it | 00:38 |
| john-mike | Hmmm...says 'fglrx'. That's not the new ATI driver, is it? | 00:38 |
| HoboPrimate | I'm googling trying to find a workaround my problem, but just guessed someone here might have come across it before. | 00:38 |
| Jan-Rippl | Good night | 00:38 |
| hellsdark | kelsin: yep, i read about it. It just would be easier to launch another rtorrent to see my torrents | 00:38 |
| riotkittie | john-mike: errr. are you looking for actual version number? | 00:38 |
| brianski | john-mike: fglrx could be either the new ati driver or the old one, they are both called fglrx | 00:38 |
| Pelo | Javid, ah well, I kind of have to keep up to date, acad 2006 was a complete bust, acad 14 was very clunky, I won'T even try 13 , it ran like crap on windows to begin with | 00:38 |
| Jan-Rippl | Are You want listen my ubuntu radio? | 00:39 |
| kelsin | hellsdark: then you'd have to program rtorrant to find another version of itself on startup to just report status, since it doesn't have those features by default | 00:39 |
| Javid | Pelo, I use a lot of older programs, like photoshop 7 and winamp2 | 00:39 |
| john-mike | Ah....well, I'm sure I'm probably running the new one then. The system update doesn't show it as needing updating anymore. | 00:39 |
| brianski | you want to see 8.42.3 in the version string | 00:39 |
| hellsdark | kelsin: yep ^^ | 00:39 |
| brianski | but i'll warn you you're still gonna be disappointed, amd has made a vast improvement but they have a long way to go to even come close to nvidia | 00:39 |

| mellery | kelsin: I found the java3d.jar file the reprap page links to is really an html file not the real java3d.jar, that will fix my problem | 00:40 |
| hellsdark | kelsin: it would be nice to have some commands to see the status | 00:40 |
| spydon | I can't ssh into my computer from outside my network. I have portforwarding on my router. Does anyone know how to solve this? | 00:40 |
| Pelo | Javid, I don't realy do raster and for what little knowledge of photoshop I had to begin with, using gimp instead doesn'T make much of a difference for me | 00:40 |
| riotkittie | ugh. back to X i go. brb | 00:40 |
| sirbob | I have having a problem with resolution | 00:40 |
| kelsin | spydon: you need to portforward port 22 to your internal ip, then just "ssh user@external.ip.address" from your outside location | 00:40 |

| Jan-Rippl | http://mokriny.cz:8000/listen.ogg please | 00:42 |
| riotkittie | blackvd: did you add yourself to the virtualbox/vbox/whatever group? | 00:42 |
| lars03 | should I get the latest version, 7.10? | 00:42 |
| Pelo | blackvd, that would be a question for the vbox ppl, in #vbox or in #vb , not sure which | 00:42 |
| SwitchCase | can someone help me with connecting to a wireless router?? please? | 00:42 |
| Pelo | lars03, we like it , go for it | 00:42 |
| spydon | oops sorry | 00:42 |
| blackvd | its not really about vbox tho | 00:42 |
| kelsin | spydon: some stupid questions: are you sure you have the external ip correct? and secondly do you have a cable modem or other device between your router and modem? | 00:43 |
| x_ | what's the command line forget , install ATI driversor settings?! | 00:43 |
| blackvd | its about how i can permanently change file permissions | 00:43 |
| Pelo | blackvd, but they are more likely to know about the issue and how to fix it | 00:43 |
| scorch | is there a LiveUSB version of Ubuntu? | 00:43 |
| deal_ | How can I activate more desktops to distribute my work on? I've set it to two, but want four! | 00:43 |
| kelsin | blackvd: you can probably do that with a udev rule, it's not a permission on a normal file, it's a /dev file | 00:43 |
| Pelo | blackvd, sudo chmod ..... | 00:43 |
| juano__ | lars03: it is recommended to stick to the newer versions always, because it has the lastest fixes of bugs | 00:43 |
| blackvd | chmod a+x? | 00:43 |
| * Pelo buts out | 00:43 | |
| riotkittie | did you add yourself to the virtualbox group? | 00:43 |
| juano__ | lars03: and it is recommended to update every once in a while | 00:44 |
| blackvd | how do i add to that group? | 00:44 |
| x_ | what's command line for ATI setting?! | 00:44 |
| Pelo | blackvd, read what kelsin said | 00:44 |
| digitalsky | hi i'm thinking about trying ubuntu on my notebook, but i want duel boot with my windows. | 00:44 |
| sirbob | Could it be do to it having a low resoluton for its size versus a normal monitor? | 00:44 |
| digitalsky | can anyone suggest how much disk space i need on each partition? | 00:44 |
| sirbob | due* | 00:44 |
| Dextorion | hi | 00:44 |
| riotkittie | blackvd: go to users/groups under System > Admin | 00:44 |
| spydon | Yes im sure I have the external IP correct because if I write it in an browser I get to my router like I would do with my internal router IP too and no I just have broadband modem and router, kelsin | 00:44 |
| kelsin | blackvd: but also check about that group, that might solve the problem more elegantly, if there is a group you can add yourself to to give permissions on that file | 00:44 |
| phasegen | digitalsky: duel is right | 00:44 |
| lars03 | should I get 64 bit version? I have 64 bit cpu (c2d) | 00:44 |
| danbhfive | digitalsky: how much space so you have? | 00:44 |
| riotkittie | blackvd: then Manage Groups. make sure you're in vboxusers group. | 00:45 |
| juano__ | lars03: yes, if you have a 64 bit cpu | 00:45 |
| deal_ | How can I activate more desktops to distribute my work on? I've set it to two, but want four! | 00:45 |
| attickid | lars03: sometimes it's harder to find software for 64 | 00:45 |
| digitalsky | yea i'm trying to migrate to linux but need to use some xp apps still... 40GB | 00:45 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, 10 gig at least if you do one, I have 3 gig used for / right now, 2xram for swap, /home at your discretion | 00:45 |
| digitalsky | my data can reside on another netowrk drive, | 00:45 |
| kelsin | spydon: can you ssh to localhost? just "ssh localhost" | 00:45 |
| blackvd | yeah i'm in the vboxusers group | 00:45 |
| danbhfive | how much ram? | 00:45 |
| attickid | lars03: I got a 64b also..but I use x86 just because of that | 00:45 |
| tim1__ | juano__: ok a new user didn't work either | 00:45 |
| digitalsky | hm 10 GBs | 00:45 |
| danbhfive | how much ram do you have? | 00:45 |
| spydon | yes I can, kelsin | 00:45 |
| juano__ | tim1__: i was gonna suggest before you rebooted that you might wanna try loading nm-applet with sudo permissions | 00:46 |

| danbhfive | no, digitalsky, sorry | 00:46 |

| kelsin | spydon: are you able to ssh to an outside network then try to ssh into yours to make sure it's not some wierd issue about sshing to an external ip from your internal box? | 00:46 |
| tim1__ | I will now completely reinstall ubuntu (new /home aswell) and if that doesn't work I'll just stop trying | 00:46 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, about 1.5 gig swap them | 00:46 |
| Pelo | then | 00:46 |
| Pelo | tim1__, don'T get discouraged | 00:47 |
| digitalsky | Ok. DOes ubuntu even let me create/install partitions? I've never tried to duel boot | 00:47 |
| danbhfive | digitalsky: well, the 10g partitions isnt bad advice, you should have a swap space too | 00:47 |
| SwitchCase | pelo: yes.. i read the docs but cant find any info on this particualr problem | 00:47 |
| scguy318 | digitalsky: yes | 00:47 |
| juano__ | tim1__: first you should boot with livecd and check what settings are configured | 00:47 |
| spydon | yes im able to do that kelsin, because i accidentelly typed ssh spydon@me.is-a-geek.net | 00:47 |
| juano__ | tim1__: if it works with livecd, then see what makes it work | 00:47 |
| tim1__ | Pelo: I'm struggling now for days with gutsy and whenever I solve a problem two new pop up, the whole process is very discouraging | 00:48 |
| spydon | kelsin: and it worked, but i didn't know the password ofc | 00:48 |
| danbhfive | anyone know why ubuntu uses so much memory? it didn't used to use this much | 00:48 |
| scorch | is there a LiveUSB version of Ubuntu? | 00:48 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, the instaler will let you do it when you get to that step , youcan just select to manualy partion or select the partiton, not sure how it is worded, as far as the dual booting geos, the isntaller will make a boot menu with all the oses it sees automaticaly | 00:48 |
| tim1__ | I would really like to continue using Ubuntu (I us it since warty) but it just doesn#t seem to work anymore | 00:48 |
| scguy318 | danbhfive: if you've got effects on could be it | 00:48 |
| Pelo | tim1__, what was the latest one ? | 00:48 |
| kelsin | spydon so if that worked, what is the problem? | 00:48 |
| [KEMANUSIAN][INS | linux for a free humanity | 00:48 |
| kelsin | spydon: if the only problem is you can't ssh to your external ip from the internal network, that's probably not a big problem | 00:48 |
| spydon | I can't connect to my own computer from another network... kelsin | 00:48 |
| SwitchCase | pelo: any idea? | 00:49 |
| Pelo | tim1__, you can always go back to feisty if that worked better for you you will get updates for another year or so | 00:49 |
| chester_martins | hi there | 00:49 |
| kelsin | spydon: ok sorry, I must have misunderstood, I thouht I asked if you checked from an external ip and you just said it worked | 00:49 |
| khatahn | are there ubuntu packages for the latest flash 9 release somewhere? | 00:49 |
| tim1__ | Pelo: my system randomly froze and I had to do a hard reboot, then I completely reinstalled Ubuntu ebcause nobody could help me with that and now wireless doesn't work | 00:49 |
| chester_martins | can anybody knows a good download manager to ubuntu?? i love dap for windows... | 00:49 |
| Pelo | SwitchCase, try searching the forum I'm not very good with wifi stuff , www.ubuntuforums.org | 00:49 |

| attickid | tim1__: while using ubuntu 7.10 | 00:49 |
| chester_martins | i can't find a really good for linux | 00:49 |
| digitalsky | so on my 40GB drive, 20GB Windows, 15GB linux, 2 GB swap, 3 GB data would be ok? | 00:50 |
| tim1__ | attickid: what did you do, downgrade? | 00:50 |
| Pelo | tim1__, make your /home on a seperate partiton , that way you wonT' loose your data if/when you need to clean install | 00:50 |
| attickid | tim1__: I fix it..installing the newest nvidia driver directly from nvidia website.. | 00:50 |
| kelsin | spydon: have you tried ssh'ing to some other box somewhere on the internet (maybe a school lab or work machine, anything) then trying to ssh to your computer? | 00:50 |
| danbhfive | scguy318: interesting, but its not it, i just checked, and they are off | 00:50 |
| Pelo | chester_martins, didyou check in the add/remove applet ? | 00:50 |
| tim1__ | attickid: it also crashed when I used the vesa driver... | 00:51 |
| danbhfive | what is the 3g data for? | 00:51 |
| digitalsky | well docs that i need... like doc, xls, etc | 00:51 |
| spydon | kelsin: nope I haven't, but i have been at my school trying to SSH to my homecomp and it didn't work, connection refused there too | 00:51 |
| juano__ | chester_martins: from firefox you have downthemall! | 00:51 |

| juano__ | chester_martins: an add-on that resumes.. etc | 00:52 |
| tim1__ | Pelo: before I downgrade I rather switch distributions | 00:52 |
| digitalsky | if 10GB for linux is enough, 15 should be pretty good then right? | 00:52 |
| spydon | tritium: Yes :P | 00:52 |
| attickid | tim1__: when I googled ..I read some people fixing it jsut by installing all the updates.. | 00:52 |
| danbhfive | yeah, 15 is more than enough | 00:52 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, the / in ubuntu will isntall at about 2.5 gig you won't realy need 15 gig | 00:52 |
| scorch | is there a LiveUSB version of Ubuntu? | 00:52 |
| digitalsky | oh really | 00:52 |
| digitalsky | hm what about apps? | 00:52 |
| attickid | tim1__: do u have a nvidia card? | 00:52 |
| Rafabe | wondering the same thing as Scorch | 00:52 |
| digitalsky | i mainly want just open office, web browsing, email | 00:53 |
| chester_martins | .. | 00:53 |
| blackvd | Ok cool I got it! had to add myself to the group then restartx >_> | 00:53 |
| kelsin | spydon: Then I'm at a loss, the port forward of port 22 is all you should need. I would double check that the external ip address is actually hitting your router, can you bring up your router's page from your school on that ip etc | 00:53 |
| tim1__ | attickid: yes, but I did a clean install anyway, now it's wireless that isn't working | 00:53 |
| Pelo | tim1__, did you try installing with the alternate install cd, it usualy does a better job | 00:53 |
| digitalsky | i don't know why I'm using 15 GB in my xp now... don't know where the space has gone | 00:53 |
| Tester | hello | 00:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalsky: you probably gave it to ubuntu on accident | 00:53 |
| DG19075 | there is also an i386 DVD you can use | 00:53 |
| Slue_Gniffer | hmph. | 00:53 |
| digitalsky | ok Pelo | 00:53 |

| Creationist | Having a problem with Bluetooth - every time I try to connect to my mobil phone I get this error: "obex://[00:1b:59:b8:4a:03]" is not a valid location." Blue tooth is on on my phone and my phone appears in the list of devices... What gives? | 00:53 |
| digitalsky | IndyGunFreak: I don't have ubuntu on it yet | 00:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalsky: then youv'e wonked something up...lol, how big is your hard drive? | 00:54 |
| kelsin | spydon: it's also possible that your isp blocks port 22, you can try to port forward some higher port to 22 internal | 00:54 |
| Creationist | I would hate to have to use Windows just to get files off my phone. | 00:54 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, depends on the app, ubuntu already comes with a butload fo defaults like OOo and others, tha's part of the 2.5, I'm up to 3 gig atm and I have a lot of aps, not as much as some mind you , 5-10 gig is what I recommend, i fyou install windows apps on your system running on wine they will isntall in your /home folder anyway ( what you call data _ | 00:54 |
| kelsin | so then you'd connect with "ssh -p 5897 user@your.external.ip" and reach your box on 22 | 00:54 |
| tim1__ | Pelo: no I didn't test the alternate, but I will try that, thanks for the tip | 00:54 |
| pablin | how to install soundblaster xi fi in ubuntu 7.04 | 00:54 |
| kelsin | spydon: obviously where 5897 is whatever high port you chose, that will get past it if your ISP blocks port 22 | 00:55 |
| digitalsky | 40GB. XP Pro + MS Office + Matlab + OO + a bunch of smaller softwares = 15GB | 00:55 |

| ryan_77 | IndyGunFreak: i'm on a windows box now, over my shoulder is the error screen | 00:59 |
| IamReck | Anyone have any clue why using Compiz Config would break VLC Media Player? | 00:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: but i wouldn't do to much, usually, the best thing to do, is let Windows take over the whole drive, install, etc, then use the ubuntu installer to partition the drive. | 00:59 |
| digitalsky | Pelo: did your 10GB recommendation include the 2GB swap? | 00:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | ryan_77: ok. | 00:59 |
| Micheru | i used the livecd to wipe all the partitions and installed ubuntu on one big partition | 00:59 |
| kriel | Hello everybody. I'm trying to follow a forum topic at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120615 and I got to the part where I'm supposed to 'make depend && make' in the installation, however make pukes up with an error shown at http://pastebin.com/m3ff648ac . Any ideas on what I should try and do to let make go on? | 00:59 |
| spydon | I don't think so because then I wouldn't come to my router when I write my external IP in a browser, would I, kelsin? | 00:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | ryan_77: try changing your BIOS, to boot one of your slave drives first, maybe grub got installed on the wrong drive. | 00:59 |
| Micheru | then i will do what you just said lol | 00:59 |
| kelsin | spydon: from school? | 00:59 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, sounds about right, make the /home right after the / , so you can resize the / and use the room on /home if you need to , I think you will want to do that after a little while | 01:00 |
| spydon | both, kelsin | 01:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: thats the easiest thing to do... use this time with Ubuntu only to do some learning. | 01:00 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, I actualy recommended 1.5 gig of swap in your case but swap is seperate from / | 01:00 |
| digitalsky | would too much swap affect performance? | 01:00 |
| kazol | Can someone help me setup samba access to a server that will require the passwd to the server to be typed each time the system is started? | 01:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | ryan_77: did you understand what i was talking about? | 01:01 |
| ArthurArchnix | Is is possible to launch an windows app on a vbox machine, without first starting inntek vbox, choosing the machine, starting the machine, then launching the app? At the very least setting a default machine that launches automatically? | 01:01 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, the rule of thumb is 2x RAM , you don't realy need more unless you have very little memory | 01:01 |
| digitalsky | I actually wouldnt' need much of a /home I think, because I'm the only user and I'll mount the data and save everything there so I can share them with XP (that's possible right?) | 01:01 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak, i have had ubuntu for a month, on another machine and it was a completly different setup, thats why i screwed this one up | 01:01 |
| Pelo | ArthurArchnix, you'll have to ask in a virtualbox chanel | 01:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | Micheru: it happens, if i told you i never screwed up my system trying to install Linux, i'd be struck by lightening. | 01:02 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak, hehe | 01:02 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, /home not only contains your data but also all your user settings, , and you can share with a windows network using samba | 01:02 |
| ryan_77 | IndyGunFreak: thanks, i do understand, but the bios does look at the mbr of hd0 and grub does start (where as XP used to), then goes to a Grub Loading stage 1.5, grub loading please wait... , error 21 | 01:03 |
| kelsin | spydon: yeah that probably wouldn't happen, yeah I'm at a loss from here :-( good luck with it. | 01:03 |
| Smegzor | I followed the instructions to install Wine 0.9.50 here http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb but when I apt-get install wine, it always installs 0.9.49 How do I get 0.9.50 installed? | 01:03 |
| digitalsky | yea but I expect the user settings won't take much room | 01:03 |
| Micheru | i gotta restart | 01:03 |
| Rockbuddy | Hey everyone. | 01:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | ryan_77: i know that, but when i used to use two drives, i'd usually get grub installed on both drives..(why i don't know)... | 01:03 |
| scguy318 | ryan_77: if you're desperate to boot to something, burn yourself a Super GRUB CD | 01:03 |
| === goodtod is now known as alevine | ||
| IndyGunFreak | ryan_77: thats why i suggested that, or as scguy318 suggested, get supergrub. | 01:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | Pelo: I did... no response. I found a message on the forum from a developer saying no though, while I was waiting. But I'm not sure if the "no" meant can't create shortcuts to autolaunch programs, or "no you can't hide the windows taskbar when in seamless mode. | 01:04 |
| Pelo | Smegzor, there is not 0.9.50 package for ubuntu yet you'll have to wait a few days, ifyou instal 0.9.49 now it will upgrade automaticaly when it is out | 01:04 |

| IndyGunFreak | hmm, | 01:04 |
| digitalsky | My next question is, the xp i have is the one that comes with my acer notebook, so I'll have to install from that CD. If I want to duel boot, do I install linux or xp first? | 01:04 |
| digitalsky | my guess is linux right? | 01:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalsky: always xp first | 01:04 |
| scguy318 | ryan_77: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/?section=download | 01:04 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, install xp first | 01:04 |
| kelsin | digitalsky: always xp | 01:04 |

| cec | Can someone tell me if gtkpod is the best program for managing an ipod on ubuntu? | 01:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalsky: yes, | 01:04 |
| digitalsky | so i have to use the xp to partition my drive? | 01:05 |
| kelsin | digitalsky: windows doesn't care about other os's and will overright the bootmanager only allowing you to boot windows | 01:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalsky: xp will piss and moan if its not master of everything. | 01:05 |
| Pelo | digitalsky, yes, that way ubujntu will detect it during hte install and make the appropriate entry int eh boot menu | 01:05 |
| Smegzor | Pelo: but don't I get it right now if I do what it says here? http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb | 01:05 |
| ryan_77 | IndyGunFreak: and scguy318: thanks.. I feel Super Grub might be the way to go. | 01:05 |
| kelsin | digitalsky: you can resize windows partitions after, or just tell the windows isntaller not to use the whole drive | 01:05 |
| juano__ | digitalsky: no, its a matter of GRUB bootloader, its best if you install xp first | 01:05 |
| x_ | how i can install or active ATI drivers?! | 01:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalsky: no, use XP, take over the entire disk, | 01:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalsky: then install ubuntu, and use it to partition the drive, and install ubuntu | 01:05 |
| digitalsky | oooooook.............. | 01:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | digitalsky: i meant then use the ubuntu cd, to partition, then install ubuntu | 01:06 |

| juano__ | digitalsky: you can partition your disk without any OS if you download the gparted live CD | 01:06 |
| Pelo | Smegzor, what is out now is the 0.9.50 source, distro specific packages are made by volunteers, they need a few days to make them , give it a few days , be patient | 01:06 |

| * Pelo already knew IndyGun was a freak but he had no idea how far it went | 01:07 | |
| kelsin | kriel: once you install wine from the repos start at the "winecfg" line in that tutorial | 01:07 |
| kazol | For some reason .bash_history doesn't get updated. It is probably due to the fact that I shredded the file, rm'd it, and created a blank one. Any suggestions? | 01:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: lol, you have no idea. | 01:07 |
| Rockbuddy | i no i just forgot to finish my sentence sorry.. | 01:07 |
| Pelo | Rockbuddy, try using the alternate install cd, you can get it from the ubuntu.com site just check the box under the download now button | 01:07 |
| digitalsky | actually i might just be wasting you guys' time here. it's probably somewhere in the web | 01:07 |

| digitalsky | Pelo: ok | 01:08 |
| ryan_77 | IndyGunFreak: scguy318: thanks | 01:08 |

| Pelo | !sound | hwilde | 01:12 |
| ubotu | hwilde: 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 | 01:12 |

| kriel | operator011: well, for starters, you can hit the maximize button. (the one next to the x.) I'm not sure how to make it permanent, though. Try poking around the terminal options. | 01:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | hwilde: you probably have intel hda. | 01:12 |
| LOGAN | bah I begin to feel the restrictions of open source software more and more | 01:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | all those lenovo's do. | 01:13 |
| kelsin | LOGAN: then edit them to your liking | 01:13 |
| hwilde | Pelo, alsa is selected and my hardware is supported | 01:13 |
| hwilde | IndyGunFreak, yep that is it | 01:13 |
| kriel | IndyGunFreak: my lenovo works perfectly with the latest ubuntu. literally ootb, perfectly supported. | 01:13 |
| slliness | how do I get my panel back to top of screen is it like xfce and moving panels? | 01:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | hwilde: yeah, some do, some don't | 01:13 |
| Pelo | slliness, right click the botom pannel on an empty place, select add a pannel, or new panel, move it to the top, right click add to pannel and add the stuff you want to it | 01:13 |

| IndyGunFreak | hwilde: youc an try to compile a new alsa driver. | 01:13 |

| Lupin | does anyone know how i make xchat 2.8.4 go to tray on "X" (close windows) instead of shutting down? | 01:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | hwilde: open a terminal and type lspci and see how it identifies your sound device. | 01:14 |
| hwilde | Pelo, that doesn't seem to be doing anything but yeah there is volume up down and mute | 01:14 |
| kelsin | LOGAN: also most game engines have a dual license policy so you can buy a commercial license | 01:14 |
| slliness | Pelo, how do I move my already existing panel back to top cause it is already pack with aplets | 01:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | hwilde: there's a volume because it recognizes the device, but the way its being controlled is wonked up | 01:14 |

| hwilde | it is just muted somewhere i know it | 01:15 |
| hwilde | alsamixer will save me | 01:15 |
| kelsin | LOGAN: but "restrive" is also relative, compared to closed-source engines, I would say most open source ones are much less restrictive | 01:15 |
| slliness | Pelo, so i have to remove some stuff to grab it then cause have so much on it | 01:15 |
| * Pelo thinks hwilde is doomed | 01:16 | |
| slliness | pelo just launches stuff | 01:16 |
| kelsin | LOGAN: but yes compared to, "I want to use this free software to make a closed source game for money" it is restrictive | 01:16 |
| DG19075 | silliness: In the panel menu you can select properties and then change the position of the panel | 01:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | well, i was gonna try to talk him through compiling new alsadrivers..lol | 01:16 |
| LOGAN | kelsin : im unemployed atm... thats my biggest restriction already | 01:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | i got it setup on my laptop really easy | 01:16 |
| Pelo | slliness, you can make a new pannel you don'T have to use the one you have already and be stuck with just one, you can make as many pannels as you want, with almost anything you want on them ,just play around with the right click options | 01:17 |

| vonehle | 800 x 600 is the best it offers me. | 01:21 |

| IndyGunFreak | i thought dual rocked. | 01:21 |
| Pelo | letha1, ask in #compiz-fusion | 01:21 |

| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: problem is, he's on the live CD, trying to install, can he modify xorg.conf on the live cd? | 01:21 |
| vonehle | how do I get to the xorg.conf file? | 01:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | vonehle: try this... | 01:21 |
| Pelo | vonehle, open a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, scroll down a bit, it is quite obvious where you need to add | 01:21 |
| gojita | vonehle, I had a messed up resolution setting, after I installed Envy, then picked the appropriate driver. It installed everything and configured the xorg.conf for me automagically! | 01:22 |
| Pelo | vonehle, IndyGunFreak, he can, but he'll have to restart X and not reboot, and the changes won't hold when he reboots | 01:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: oh i see, just restart X, that makes sense | 01:22 |

| gojita | how can I have ubuntu gutsy download from the latest repo's like cutting edge Fedora type distro? | 01:26 |
| Pelo | dmitrig01, goto www.ubuntu.com, get the cd and burn it first, not sure how you boot from the cd on mac, I think you hold the C key while booting or something like that | 01:26 |
| vonehle | when I typed in the sudo... I got a notepad type screen, but it is blank. Is this because I'm running off the CD right now? | 01:26 |
| mic21 | good evening, i am using NFS on ubuntu gusty to share homes directories and I have the following error that i can't fix... lockd server 192.168.1.2 not responding timeout, couldn't create RPC handle for 192.168.1.2 | 01:26 |

| dmitrig01 | ? | 01:27 |
| digitalsky | Pelo: nice! | 01:27 |
| dmitrig01 | or "64bit AMD and Intel computers"? | 01:27 |
| gojita | I think mac computers are 'ppc' architecture... not sure though | 01:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | vonehle: just try this, at the top, where your clock, applications menu, etc, is, try dragging it to the right side of the screen, then try moving that window up a little bit, and see if you can see "next" at the bottom | 01:27 |
| jrib | gojita: not recent ones | 01:27 |
| Pelo | dmitrig01, I think there is a button or a link for mirrors in that page, click on it | 01:27 |
| digitalsky | Pelo: I mean filesnames.... eg. english + chinese in the same file/folder name | 01:27 |
| bulmer | mic21-> is that an error from your log file? | 01:28 |
| gojita | ...what are recent ones? ppc64? | 01:28 |

| Pelo | dmitrig01, region is not so imporatnt | 01:30 |
| gojita | I thought backports meant things from the past that had been made compatible with newr stuff in case its broken :p | 01:30 |
| bulmer | mic21-> is the portmap running on your client? | 01:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | viper550: did moving your mouse bring it back up? | 01:30 |

| branden | viper check your xorg.conf | 01:30 |

| IndyGunFreak | hmm, usually it does | 01:30 |
| mic21 | bulmer: yes | 01:30 |
| viper550 | how can | 01:30 |
| branden | could be a resolution issue | 01:30 |
| gojita | viper550, I had the same issue, still do. Moving the cursor makes the monitor come out of standby | 01:30 |
| viper550 | It didn't ask for resolution in the installer | 01:31 |

| dmitrig01 | branden: mac | 01:34 |
| viper550 | so, where do I check? | 01:34 |
| dmitrig01 | branden: I have two macs, one new and the other very old | 01:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | dmitrig01: you can find gutsy for mac hardware, dapper is gettin old. | 01:34 |
| Pelo | dmitrig01, I noticed I gave you the alternate cd links, you can find the live cd ( desktop) ones on the last link if you prefer | 01:35 |
| branden | dimitri: just download ubuntu and burn it to a medium | 01:35 |
| foo | audacity records/plays back audio twice as fast. any ideas? i can't find anything, been all over preferences and google | 01:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | branden: he needs it for mac hardware | 01:35 |
| branden | AH | 01:35 |
| Pelo | IndyGunFreak, dapper will be supported for years yet, I'd rather have him on dapper then try to trouble shoot an unstable gutsy | 01:35 |
| branden | Ah* | 01:35 |
| kelsin | foo: if it's twice as fast it might be playing sound at 44.1 when your sound card only supports 22hz or something | 01:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: lol | 01:35 |
| Pelo | on hardware I don'T know no less | 01:35 |
| IamReck | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH8cS1AkqiI awesome first comment. | 01:35 |
| kelsin | foo: make sure all audio settings are correct | 01:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: but when Dapper gets dropped, he'll have no optionsm, since Ubuntu no longer supports mac | 01:36 |
| dmitrig01 | branden: I have two Macs. I am operating normal mac stuff on the newer one. I'd like to try linux for the second | 01:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | thats why i suggest debian, as it seems it will have a mac version forever. | 01:36 |
| dav1 | hello guys, i deinstalled compiz and domino and esemerald and now i cannot change my resolution, does anybody know why? | 01:36 |
| foo | kelsin: they are | 01:36 |
| foo | kelsin: what settings? | 01:36 |
| LjL | IndyGunFreak: "forever" is a long time... | 01:36 |
| DM| | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server --- for reconfiguring xserver right? i always forget | 01:37 |
| LjL | DM|: xserver-xorg | 01:37 |
| vonehle | In windows you can press the tab key to move between controls. This doesn't seem to work for Ubuntu. Is there a different way? | 01:37 |
| DM| | thanks | 01:37 |
| kelsin | foo: I just said, some sort of setting might be set to the wrong hz value, you'd have to play with them, I don't know your system or soundcard, or audacity off hand | 01:37 |
| kelsin | foo: but normally sound 1/2 as fast or 2x as fast is due to wrong Hz settings | 01:37 |
| Pelo | vonehle, try the arrow keys | 01:37 |
| dmitrig01 | I'm fine with using something unsupported | 01:37 |
| abcde_ | IndyGunFreak, dmitrig01, you mean a PPC version. The new mac I'd assume to be intel, the older one is PowerPC. | 01:37 |
| dmitrig01 | it's not going to become my main compter | 01:37 |
| dmitrig01 | abcde_: yes | 01:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | abcde_: yes, | 01:37 |
| dmitrig01 | abcde_: I want linux on ppc | 01:37 |
| viper550 | on gutsy, where is xorg.conf? | 01:37 |
| dmitrig01 | it's a g4 | 01:38 |
| viper550 | <dmitrig01> yellow dog linux | 01:38 |
| dmitrig01 | viper550: what's that? | 01:38 |
| abcde_ | dmitrig01, There is a PPC version, not sure if you'd want to do Ubuntu. I was just going to say YDL. | 01:38 |
| viper550 | Linux distro made specifically for Apple platform | 01:38 |
| hellsdark | viper550: /ETC/x11/ | 01:38 |
| mic21 | bulmer: I can't check now because I am not in the office but I know that I have installed nfs-common and portmap on the clients. The problem is appeared when we have change the address from 10.0.0.0 to 192.168.1.0. We have restarted the server but we can see some old entries in /var/lib/nfs/rmtab. | 01:38 |
| viper550 | But it's Fedora based | 01:38 |
| abcde_ | dmitrig01, Redhat for PPC more or less. | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | -/etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:38 |
| kelsin | viper550: same place as always /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:38 |
| Pelo | dmitrig01, you'll have to ask IndyGunFreak for a link to gutsy for ppc I have no idea where t get it from | 01:38 |
| dmitrig01 | ah | 01:38 |
| branden | dimitri: http://cdimage.ubuntulinux.org/releases/dapper/release.1/ has mac iso's its a bit older but once its installed you can dist-upgrade | 01:38 |

| IndyGunFreak | dmitrig01: take paxil | 01:39 |
| abcde_ | dmitrig01, I'm not that fond of YDL though, I don't like RPM over DEB | 01:39 |
| Pelo | dmitrig01, NO we are keeping ubuntu for ourselves | 01:39 |
| bulmer | mic21-> which addresses are these? client or server? | 01:39 |
| branden | all your ubuntu are belong to us | 01:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: dmitrig01 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/gutsy/release/ | 01:39 |

| DM| | Ok.. yet again bulletproof X borked me.. I cant change resolutions to anything above 800x600, anyone help? | 01:39 |
| mic21 | bulmer: some client address with old address 10.0.0.* | 01:40 |
| Pelo | dmj what driver are you running atm ? | 01:40 |
| abcde_ | dmitrig01, Just for future reference, if you need to install Ubuntu somewhere, you can usually do Debian -> Ubuntu, since Debian is more versatile on what it can install on. Then you get Ubuntu with "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" | 01:40 |
| dmitrig01 | ok | 01:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | dmitrig01: did you get that link i sent? | 01:40 |
| branden | Hey did ya get that thing I sent ya? | 01:41 |
| minimec | dav1: Have a look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf Check the "Screen" Section. There You find the actual resolution of your graphical module. | 01:41 |
| dmitrig01 | IndyGunFreak: yes | 01:41 |
| LjL | abcde_: that's kind of... very... unsupported, though :) | 01:41 |
| kelsin | abcde_: it might be possible, but definately not supported | 01:41 |

| vonehle | My xorg.conf Screen settings list 6 different resolutions, but my System>Preferences>Screen Resolution only offers 2. What can I do? | 01:41 |
| dmitrig01 | IndyGunFreak: darn | 01:41 |
| viper550 | I have an hp f1503 monitor if that helps | 01:41 |
| dmitrig01 | any macies here? | 01:41 |
| Pelo | dmitrig01, you just need to "burn an image" using your cd burning prog | 01:41 |
| dmitrig01 | ok | 01:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | vonehle: i've told yuou 4x what to try, and you've not said once wether it worked | 01:41 |

| vonehle | You told me to try to drag the screen | 01:42 |
| vonehle | I told you that didn't work | 01:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | no i didn't | 01:42 |
| Pelo | dmj there is an nvidia setting package in the repos | 01:42 |
| branden | sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg is the command to change your res | 01:42 |
| DM| | brb | 01:42 |
| abcde_ | dmitrig01, Open Disk Utility, and drag the iso under your HD's, then put a blank in | 01:42 |
| abcde_ | dmitrig01, and click Burn | 01:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | usually when this has happened to me before, movin the top panel, and moving the window up just a hair, allows me to see the buttons at the bottom. | 01:42 |
| dmitrig01 | abcde_: thanks | 01:42 |
| bulmer | mic21-> you have to add your 10.x.x.x users too | 01:42 |
| kelsin | abcde_: if ubuntu won't run, and debian does then you're better off sticking with debian, installing ubuntu packages on debian is risky, and completely overwriting all debian packages with ubuntu will have the same problems as the original ubuntu install | 01:43 |
| Dukke | my ubuntu is 7.04 he don't start if i try to use the last version of ubuntu i have to del all? | 01:43 |
| * Pelo is on his second attempt trying to watch Robin Hood 2x09, and is still getting distracted by the stuff in the channel | 01:43 | |
| abcde_ | kelsin, Oh, works on the laptop, but I guess it's because the only reason Ubuntu has issues is the install, not the Hardware. | 01:44 |
| vonehle | that did not move it enough | 01:44 |
| mic21 | bulmer: but they don't exist anymore, is it a "trick" to clean the table ? | 01:44 |

| ubuntu_sucks | does ubuntu support mouse? | 01:44 |
| Pelo | ubuntu_sucks, try changing your nick please | 01:44 |

| IndyGunFreak | Pelo: lol | 01:44 |
| ubuntu_sucks | Pelo: but it is so true, ubuntu failed to show me a mouse cursor | 01:44 |
| LjL | does ubuntu support trolls? no, see you in some other channel ubuntu_sucks | 01:44 |
| ubuntu_sucks | I loaded 7.10 amd64 lcd | 01:44 |

| dmitrig01 | suckage = !ubuntu_sucks | 01:45 |
| mic21 | bulmer: do you think that the time out could come from those old entries ? | 01:45 |
| Dukke | Pelo really stranger say like this "apt-get no found" try apt-get install apt apt-get command not found " | 01:45 |
| Dukke | Pelo after my memory ram crash | 01:46 |
| branden | DUkke try "aptitude" | 01:46 |
| H264_laptop | well, I'm going to shower... if anybody needs me then too bad | 01:46 |
| bulmer | mic21-> i think the time out is because you set sync instead of async, if network is faulty it can hang the connectivity | 01:46 |
| PirateHead | branden: Why would aptitude not crash if apt-get did? | 01:46 |
| PirateHead | branden: They both use apt... | 01:46 |
| Pelo | Dukke, your install got borked, for some reason, you will need to reinstall , use the live cd to back up your /home fiolder so yo don't loose your data | 01:46 |
| branden | PirateHead it was a suggestion dont be noob | 01:46 |
| Sturm | how do I install the alternate gimp icons? | 01:46 |
| * Pelo is happy H264_laptop is going to shower, it was getting a bit rank in here | 01:47 | |
| mic21 | bulmer: the network is good, everything else works "fine" (1Gbps, cat 6 RJ45 cable). | 01:47 |
| Dukke | ok gonna download the last version.. | 01:47 |
| PirateHead | Sturm: You might want to ask in #gimp if you don't find somebody what that info here. | 01:47 |
| Pelo | Sturm, do you mean the tool icons in gimp itself or the app icon ? | 01:47 |
| Pelo | Dukke, best of luck | 01:47 |
| Dukke | thank you | 01:48 |
| Dukke | :D | 01:48 |
| Sturm | I meant the grayscale icons I downloaded off the gimp site | 01:48 |
| === Alp-3 is now known as Alp` | ||
| Sturm | since I dont really like the colorful icons | 01:48 |
| Sturm | no one is on #gimp | 01:48 |
| Pelo | Sturm, ask in #gimp, but I think there is a place in preferences where you can specify a path | 01:48 |
| PirateHead | Sturm: Ah. What you do is rename or delete the old ones and replace them with the new ones. | 01:48 |
| bulmer | mic21-> how do you make sure none of the bits ever flipped? at 1Gbps ..i would not trust it myself | 01:49 |
| Pelo | Sturm, #gimp-users | 01:49 |
| PirateHead | Sturm: As Pelo suggests, there might be a config file or preferences panel where you could specify a new path. If not, you'll just have to mess with the innards. | 01:49 |
| kriel | ... zombie processes are bad, aren't they? | 01:49 |
| PirateHead | kriel: Not bad as in freak out, but they aren't helpful. | 01:50 |
| Pelo | kriel, not bad persay | 01:50 |
| bulmer | mic21-> try it other than sync and see if it makes a difference | 01:50 |
| Sturm | gimp users is dead too | 01:50 |
| mic21 | bulmer: because before the change to 192.168.1.0 it was working well, we never had had timeout. | 01:50 |
| PirateHead | Sturm: Pose your question and wait awhile. Somebody will probably come check it out at some point. | 01:50 |
| Pelo | Sturm, start the gimp , click the help menu , do a search | 01:50 |
| kriel | ... Okay, then how would I go about killing zombies? I know, aim for the head and use shotguns. How about something a little more peaceful (and probably effective) | 01:50 |
| PirateHead | kriel: are you okay with using the command line? | 01:50 |
| kelsin | kriel: do you mean zombie processes that list as "Z" in a ps command? | 01:51 |
| kriel | PirateHead: yup. | 01:51 |
| bulmer | mic21-> i dont know then, you have to troubleshoot more | 01:51 |
| kriel | kelsin: as in system>admin>system monitor lists them as zombie | 01:51 |
| Pelo | kriel, kill the parent process if it is a dependency, check the dependency box in the menu , if you re using the system monitor | 01:51 |
| branden | WHere art thou Pelo!? | 01:51 |
| PirateHead | kriel: Run ps (or ps aux or ps auxwww) and filter the output with grep to find your zombies | 01:51 |
| * Pelo art barely here | 01:51 | |
| branden | AYe | 01:51 |

| * Pelo makes a note, turn off xchat while watching vids | 01:53 | |
| branden | I dont know, I set up a vsftpd last night and it worked fine, I was trying to connect through a browser and it worked once with the login after that it just went kuput on me, so I snarled and raged and pillaged | 01:53 |
| branden | /sigh | 01:53 |
| mic21 | bulmer: ok, i will try the clear the table and to change sync to async. thank you for you help ;) | 01:53 |
| kriel | PirateHead: mind PM's? | 01:53 |
| bulmer | mic21-> okay, you're welcome | 01:54 |
| PirateHead | !pm | kriel | 01:54 |
| ubotu | kriel: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 01:54 |
| Pelo | branden, look for a forum for the app or a channel for it | 01:54 |
| DM| | So anyone have any ideas why My compy refuses to let me change to the correct resolution | 01:54 |
| ehc | I am installing zope and ran nc -z -v -w2 localhost 1-65535 to scan for ports. I choose one of the open ports from the scan but it just loads and loads in my browser forever. Do I need to restart the port or something? | 01:54 |
| PirateHead | kriel: You get points for asking though. :-) | 01:54 |
| branden | I did, I left at hread on the ubuntu forums and its been 3 days unanswered | 01:54 |
| Pelo | DM|, check in the forum there is away to do it , it is realted to yoru nvidia card, search for nvidia resolution you'll find it, you are not the first one with this issue, I'm pretty sure the otehrs have solved it | 01:55 |
| kriel | PirateHead: hehe. Thanks. Okay, okay... you said to use some utilities that i've never dealt with before. what's ps, what's aux, and... -reads up- what am i filtering for with grep (I've actually used that one!) | 01:55 |
| Pelo | branden, did you search the forum ? usualy more helpfull then posting | 01:55 |
| gojita | hey I want to compile wine... How can I make it check deps? | 01:55 |
| DM| | Pelo whats funny is its been working for every release till bullet proof X was introduced. | 01:55 |
| branden | Yeah but thosse peoples posts werent relevant to the issue I was having | 01:56 |
| bit0 | gojita: use "Debian-way" | 01:56 |
| Pelo | gojita, wait a few days, there will be a .deb package for the latest one | 01:56 |
| kelsin | kriel: ps will list processes, once you see the zombie one you can just type "kill <pid>" to kill it, if that doesn't work you can try "kill -9 <pid>" or "sudo kill <pid>" and "sudo kill -9 <pid" | 01:56 |
| PirateHead | kriel: ps is a program that lists running processes. | 01:56 |
| operator011 | Does anyone know what configuration file in Ubuntu-server 7.10 controls the size of the stdout terminal buffer (currently it's 80x25=640x480), but my screen size is 1024x768 | 01:56 |
| === ConstyXIV_ is now known as ConstyXIV | ||
| Pelo | DM|, I'm out of suggestion then | 01:56 |
| PirateHead | kriel: "ps auxwww" is a command that lists out all the data about all the processes that are running | 01:56 |
| kelsin | kriel: if it's an actual zombie process according to the kernel (with a Z flag in the ps output) you might not be able to kill it | 01:56 |
| lastk | hi, how to make for to show the spaces used and avaibles in my partitions? | 01:56 |
| branden | I mean when I started the server I ran "netstat -a | grep ftp" and it says its listening so I know its working, but when it comes to trying to log into it through the browser using an external IP all hell breaks loose | 01:57 |
| Pelo | lastk, menu > system > admin > system monitor last tab | 01:57 |
| gojita | the compile one says that opengl libraries are needed, if I do it the debain way and "WAIT", will those deps be installed as well? | 01:57 |
| LjL | lastk: df | 01:57 |
| Pelo | gojita, yes it will | 01:57 |
| branden | I can ftp://localhost and it goes through, as in logs in, but if I try ftp://<my ip> nothing | 01:58 |
| PirateHead | kriel: Once you run ps auxwww, you should be able to find the process IDs of the zombie processes. However, you can automate that by finding them using grep. | 01:58 |
| gojita | *rather: ./configure --verbose | 01:58 |
| branden | farts on that I guess | 01:58 |
| kriel | ooh, here's a fun one. ps dosen't spit out the name of my zombie processes. it only lists ps and bash. | 01:58 |
| Pelo | gojita, you are doing this because you want the very latest right ? you are not jsut trying out wine for the first time right ? | 01:58 |
| bit0 | gojita: get sources (apt-src) and build it (look debian.org documentation) | 01:58 |
| gojita | I want this because I want the very latest, yes | 01:58 |
| branden | Pelo im so glad you mentions wine, I have to instal cs | 01:58 |
| branden | =P | 01:58 |
| kelsin | kriel: "ps aux" or "ps -ef" | 01:59 |
| PirateHead | kriel: That is probably because you aren't passing the right command to ps. Try typing the command "ps auxwww" | 01:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gojita: Bleeding edge comes at a price.. What feature in particular are you trying to add.. | 01:59 |
| PirateHead | kelsin, kriel: the problem with ps aux is that it limits its output to your terminal size to make things "prettier". It isn't suitable for parsing. | 01:59 |
| Pelo | gojita, just wait a couple of days, they guy that makes the deb is usualy pretty quick , I woudlnt, be surprised if it was out tomorow | 01:59 |
| neur1 | how do I get conky to run in openbox-gnome? | 01:59 |
| kriel | kelsin: the first time i did that it just spit out a help file mabob... | 01:59 |
| DM| | pelo do you have an nvidia card? | 02:00 |
| lastk | LjL : thanks | 02:00 |
| runlevel | ok i keep having this gnome issue. just reinstalled with arch64 and when i try to start gnome-terminal.. it wont load...i had this problem in a few other 64bit distros.. anyone know whats up? | 02:00 |
| krammer | which program do I user for burning dvds? | 02:00 |
| Pelo | DM|, no I don'T just a plain old , working , intel 856 g | 02:00 |
| DM| | haha | 02:00 |
| DM| | working, yeah.. | 02:00 |
| gojita | I want to see what they've done new, I want to check if there is a new interface, and new functionality to aid in perhaps making wine programs (like mIRC) more like the theme in Gnome | 02:00 |
| DM| | brb | 02:00 |
| gojita | bit0, thanks for advice | 02:01 |
| bit0 | gojita: download wine sources (apt-src install wine) ... | 02:01 |
| darkmatter | gojita: wine supports .msstyles. just not fully. some widgets don't skin | 02:01 |
| bit0 | gojita: and try to rebuild it | 02:02 |
| gojita | bit0, thanks again, 5 minutes of research saved | 02:02 |
| LjL | darkmatter: and it's sloooow | 02:02 |
| bit0 | gojita: :) | 02:02 |
| kriel | okay. I cheated and found the pid using system monitor (2015) and kill 2015 dosen't do anything. All the rest are sleeping. (cept the monitor itself_ | 02:02 |
| darkmatter | LjL depends on the theme, but yeah | 02:02 |
| krammer | which program do I user for burning dvds? | 02:02 |
| mic21 | bulmer: I forget to say about an error (on ther server) when we restart the NFS server (with dmesg) : lockd_down: lockd failed to exit, clearing pid - nfsd: last server has exited - nfsd: unexporting all filesystems | 02:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k3b | 02:02 |
| kelsin | kriel: does ps list it as a zombie? Z in the status columb? | 02:02 |
| kelsin | column* | 02:02 |
| racarter | is w32codecs still in the medibuntu repository? | 02:03 |
| eltux | I can't get wine to reinstall right, I had tried to upgrade to 9.50 and it went batty so I tried to remove it and now when I reinstall it, It doesn't run at all | 02:03 |
| kSid | #offtopic | 02:03 |
| LjL | racarter: i think so | 02:03 |
| bulmer | mic21-> if there was a lockfile remove it and restart nfs-server | 02:03 |
| kelsin | eltux: make sure to clear out your .wine folder also when changing wine versions | 02:04 |
| eltux | :\ | 02:04 |
| kriel | kelsin: 2015 status: Zl+ | 02:04 |
| kelsin | kriel: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/zombies.html you can probably log out and log back in to clear it, but kill and sudo kill and sudo kill -9 might not do it | 02:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gojita: just looking at eltux and thinking that might be you tomorrow | 02:04 |
| eltux | kelsin: should I just delete it? | 02:04 |
| manduski | hey guys, i'm trying to install the new ubuntu on my desktop and i'm stuck on the "Preparing Partitions" part. I have a windows partition and i'm trying to join two others that are labeled "free space" but i can't seem to do that | 02:04 |
| gojita | Lol! | 02:04 |
| kelsin | eltux: if you don't have any programs installed that you NEED to keep in there yes | 02:04 |
| viper550 | Got it | 02:04 |
| kelsin | gojita: you're giving away a lot of usefullness just to learn something that is in the changelog on the wine website | 02:05 |
| viper550 | I set my display driver to use VESA instead of ATI, and it works now | 02:05 |
| eltux | Jack_Sparrow: yeah, they say its the new release but when you download the package and install it, it says that its beta software yet | 02:05 |
| mic21 | bulmer: which lockfile ? in the /var/lib/nfs directory ? | 02:05 |
| manduski | i want to leave the windows partition alone and create one partition for the filesystem and another one for the swap but i can't seem to be able to combine them | 02:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 02:05 |
| kSid | manduski: Goodluck with that ^o) | 02:05 |
| kelsin | eltux: wine has been in beta forever, it hasn't had a "stable" release yet | 02:05 |
| manduski | kSid: why, is taht impossible? | 02:05 |
| Pelo | manduski, what do you want to combine ? | 02:06 |
| bulmer | mic21-> i would think it is in /var/lock not in /var/lib/nfs | 02:06 |
| gojita | kelsin, I can't understand alot of the terminology they use in the changelog (like... whats Completed I/O completion. or More Valgrinding. mean) | 02:06 |
| kriel | erf. Thank you kelsin and PirateHead. | 02:06 |
| kelsin | gojita: then it probably doesn't have new features like you want | 02:06 |
| manduski | pelo: i have these" | 02:06 |
| eltux | kelsin: yeah no kiddin. 0.9.50 still has some major problems though. Steam doesn't work right with it yet | 02:06 |
| kSid | manduski: Last time I tried that it corrupted my windows partition because it got stuck half way and then when I rebooted into vista, it said the drive is full | 02:06 |
| kelsin | eltux: hence the continuous term of "beta" | 02:06 |
| manduski | pelo: i have these two "free space" partitions that i want to combine | 02:06 |
| PirateHead | kriel: No problem, kriel. | 02:06 |
| kSid | manduski: But then I used the Vista partition manager to save my computer :) | 02:06 |
| Pelo | manduski, you need to delete the aprtitons first | 02:07 |
| Pelo | manduski, you can'T combine them | 02:07 |
| manduski | pelo: i did delete them, that's why they say free space | 02:07 |
| * IndyGunFreak thinks, "There's an oxymoron, using Vista to save a computer" | 02:07 | |
| bit0 | manduski: partitions is no "easy", be patient | 02:07 |
| manduski | pelo: why can't you combine them | 02:07 |
| kelsin | eltux: it's an extremely ambitious program, that also depends on how well written the program you're trying to run is programmed. It's incredible enough as it is, I can run wow and warIII with no issues, I love it :) | 02:07 |
| gojita | kelsin, good point, BUT I have to say this, I am aimless right now, and am looking to learn and be amused at the latest and greatest. Just as long as it doesn't break my system | 02:07 |
| eltux | kelsin: I just did what you said, and now the program that i choose to install it with (wine doors) is crapping out on me | 02:07 |
| scguy318 | gojita: Completed I/O completion = they finished the code to support Windows I/O completion | 02:07 |
| Pelo | manduski, so apply the change and tghen you can make a new partition in the free space | 02:07 |
| Pelo | manduski, not the same FS | 02:07 |
| scguy318 | gojita: More Valgrinding = they fixed more memory leaks they found through Valgrind | 02:08 |
| petr4 | hello. In "vi" editor in 7.10 undo (U command) does not work. It just switches between two last version of the file | 02:08 |
| kelsin | eltux: you're installing wine with winedoors? | 02:08 |
| kSid | IndyGunFreak: I'm sorry, but Vista > ubuntu on this laptop. | 02:08 |
| mic21 | bulmer: in /var/lock, I just have two empty directories "apache2" and "lvm"; I found an other lock file called /proc/lock, but I don't think it is that. | 02:08 |
| kelsin | eltux: or wine doors is crapping out with the wine from the ubuntu repos? | 02:08 |
| eltux | kelsin: yeah, it was just easier at the time | 02:08 |
| gojita | scguy318, Thanks! ^_^ | 02:08 |
| Pelo | ATTENTION PPL WHO WANT TO DISCUSS THE DETAILS OF THE LATEST WINE RELEASE THERE IS A #winehq | 02:08 |
| kSid | Indygunfreak: Ubuntu doesn't even support half of my drivers, I've tried Ubuntu, Suse, and Fedora | 02:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | kSid: i guess we all have uses for something windows makes. | 02:08 |
| eltux | kelsin: yeah I have the package on my computer and its going batty when it tries to configure it | 02:08 |
| kSid | IndyGunFreak: :) | 02:09 |
| bulmer | mic21-> lock files are normally in /var/lock | 02:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | kSid: thats not a lack of Ubuntu support, thats the hardware manufacturers not making linux drivers | 02:09 |
| kelsin | eltux: if you're dealing with a wine from winedoors or ANYWHERE other than the ubuntu repos you need to go to them and ask, even if you are it's probably good to ask the wine people | 02:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | kelsin: if hardware manufacturers didn't make windows drivers, they wouldn't work in Windows Vista either | 02:09 |
| gojita | scguy318, kelsin then I likely dont need the latest and greatest, since wait... memory leaks? thats nifty | 02:09 |
| kelsin | kSid: you should make better choices in laptop purchases then | 02:09 |
| eltux | kelsin: it still grabs wine from the ubuntu repos | 02:09 |
| scguy318 | gojita: of course not, better to stick with a Wine version that works for you | 02:09 |
| mic21 | bulmer: when I stop the NFS server, the lockd process are still alive. | 02:09 |
| kelsin | eltux: and does other stuff | 02:10 |
| eltux | kelsin: all it does is prompts the install of wine and comes with the configuration tool (wine doors) | 02:10 |
| atouk | where is teh default fonts folder | 02:10 |
| eltux | kelsin: it just makes it easier to install stuff | 02:10 |
| kelsin | eltux: well passed clearing your home dir I don't have any ideas why you're app isn't working | 02:10 |
| bulmer | mic21-> so it means its got the lock file stored somewhere else | 02:10 |
| * Pelo starts makeing a list of ppl to kick forward to #winehq | 02:10 | |
| kelsin | eltux: *and by that I mean clearing the .wine folder of course, not your whole home dir | 02:10 |
| * gojita raises hand | 02:10 | |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 02:11 |
| eltux | kelsin: well, sudo apt-get remove wine again right? and I'll try deleting .wine again | 02:11 |
| jrib | Pelo: ? | 02:12 |
| Pelo | no idea what just happend | 02:12 |
| btard | a game I am trying to run is performing very poorly. do any of you have any tips for making it run better (drivers, optimizations, etc). it is called frets on fire | 02:12 |

| scguy318 | eltux: check the AppDb | 02:14 |

| kelsin | EdwardXP: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/ | 02:23 |
| Xdange1 | i noticed that with my laptop charger pluged in trackerd process is causing cpu usage to be high, around 70-90% | 02:23 |
| mic21 | bulmer: I will try if it doesn't work ... I have an other problem : with PAM, i am not able to use the pam_group.so plugin to attach local group to my ldap users ... | 02:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | thats probably the issue right there. | 02:23 |
| DM| | IndyGunFreak yep | 02:23 |
| racarter | can i use opera on 64 bits? | 02:23 |
| scguy318 | Xdange1: as I said before, if you want to stop the indexing, go to Indexing Preferences | 02:23 |
| EdwardXP | RAdams, yah | 02:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | DM|: hmm, well if you used sudo nvidia-settings then set the resolution you wanted, and saved it, then it should work finem | 02:23 |
| kelsin | EdwardXP: that doc will let you know how to color the bash prompt, but yeah gnome terminal settings like RAdams is getting at will set the default colors | 02:23 |
| RAdams | EdwardXP: Edit --> Current Profile | 02:23 |
| kelsin | DM|: how not? | 02:24 |
| bulmer | mic21-> am not familiar with using ldap's as authentication system | 02:24 |
| RAdams | But as kelsin said, you can do it with your bash configs as well | 02:24 |
| EdwardXP | im in there :( | 02:24 |
| EdwardXP | i guess i have to tinker with it still | 02:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | DM|: you're sure you used sudo nvidia-settings? | 02:24 |
| kelsin | EdwardXP: that will let you set the main color to green, to change the color of the prompt and other stuff you might need to edit your bash prompt | 02:24 |
| RAdams | Anyone know how to use a key created in Seahorse with Evolution? | 02:24 |
| mic21 | bulmer: okey, btw thanks a lot for all the details and idea you found ;) | 02:24 |
| kelsin | RAdams: ssh or gpg? | 02:25 |
| DM| | IndyGunFreak yes, its something with ubuntu , alot of people are having this problem | 02:25 |
| bulmer | mic21-> no problem | 02:25 |
| DM| | Indygunfreak brb | 02:25 |
| EdwardXP | lete see | 02:25 |

| scguy318 | bloony: fuseiso kinda comes to mind, might be able to | 02:30 |
| doctorzongo | i dont think so | 02:30 |
| bloony | scguy318: k | 02:30 |
| doctorzongo | it wont work | 02:30 |
| DM| | Ok... well I backed up my XORG file to my previous working xorg file and my resolution still refuses to change in gnome | 02:31 |
| bloony | doctorzongo: aah | 02:31 |
| bloony | k | 02:31 |
| doctorzongo | no you didnt | 02:31 |
| bloony | anyone else? | 02:31 |
| doctorzongo | and yes it does | 02:31 |
| doctorzongo | no one else | 02:31 |
| Highlife | kelsin: its installed now but I'm still not getting sound | 02:31 |
| doctorzongo | its not installed | 02:31 |
| clanmac10 | Hey all | 02:31 |
| stiki | is there some gui tool to assist in mounting partitions .. i seem to recall seeing it a couple years ago but I can't seem to find it in the latest release? | 02:31 |
| EdwardXP | this sucks.. | 02:31 |
| kelsin | Highlife: make sure to check in the vlc preferences and try all of the output modules to see if any work | 02:31 |
| doctorzongo | no there is not | 02:31 |
| kelsin | Highlife: ( and to make sure sound is enabled in the audio general settings) | 02:32 |
| doctorzongo | it wont work -- that was outdated in version 1.1 | 02:32 |
| EdwardXP | My Terminal background is a different color,but not the the text its white... or whatever i want it to be; -- | 02:32 |
| doctorzongo | the text is no white | 02:33 |
| doctorzongo | your lying | 02:33 |
| clanmac10 | I got two questions for you all today; 1.) Is there a reason why the RT61 chipset does not work out the box as RaLink do provide a GPL driver | 02:33 |
| DM| | kelson ? | 02:33 |
| doctorzongo | no and no | 02:33 |
| kelsin | EdwardXP: on the Colors tab in the profile editor you can set the text color and background color, you can set them however you want if you uncheck "Use colors from system theme" | 02:33 |
| DM| | kelsin Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' | 02:33 |
| doctorzongo | outdated in version 1.3 | 02:33 |
| EdwardXP | its like this -/> hi.. <- this is white.. and the outsource is white too.. which is what i want changed... i can't change the output | 02:33 |
| doctorzongo | sorry kelsin | 02:33 |
| DM| | meh | 02:34 |
| DM| | this is frustrating | 02:34 |
| kelsin | DM|: then I would try moving it out of the way, "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.saved" then running nvidia settings and have it save | 02:34 |
| doctorzongo | no its not DM| | 02:34 |
| Highlife | kelsin: nun of the modules are working | 02:34 |
| EdwardXP | bah | 02:34 |
| DM| | doctorzongo lies! | 02:34 |
| doctorzongo | they're all working highlife | 02:34 |
| kelsin | Highlife: if you run vlc from the command line do any errors come up when trying to play movies related to the sound? | 02:35 |
| doctorzongo | no | 02:35 |
| Highlife | well I'm not getting sound is what im saying | 02:35 |
| Highlife | yes | 02:35 |
| Highlife | [00000347] oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp) | 02:35 |

| mrmondaynight | hello room | 02:35 |

| coolbhavi | hi | 02:36 |
| btard | does anyone know of where i can find proper 3d acceleration drivers for linux | 02:36 |
| clanmac10 | The second question is, whem compiz-fusion is enabled, when windows are opened up there wigets are above the top panel so you have to hold down Alt+left mouse to move them down. Is there a way to stop them from defaulting in this location ? | 02:36 |
| bloony | scguy318: fuseiso worked, thx :) | 02:36 |
| Highlife | im srry i thought about it right after i pasted XP | 02:36 |
| doctorzongo | clanmac10: none | 02:36 |
| althetuxman | clanmac10:what card? | 02:36 |
| clanmac10 | doctorzongo:Was that for question one ? | 02:36 |
| kelsin | Highlife: sorry, lost the convo for a sec, with the alsa module selected do you get that same error? The "oss audio output error"? | 02:37 |
| doctorzongo | clanmac10: the last question you posted | 02:37 |
| Highlife | kelsin: yes i do | 02:37 |
| btard | "does anyone know of where i can find proper 3d acceleration drivers for linux" for radeon 9200 cards, which are graphics cards made by ati (not flooding question but adding on mising detail) | 02:37 |
| ubuntu | anyone have a good how-to fix xorg from the livecd for a hard install? | 02:37 |
| Highlife | one sec | 02:37 |
| Highlife | i forgot to refresh the list | 02:38 |
| kelsin | Highlife: can you try selecting differen devices under Audio / Output / Alsa (might have to click the refresh list to make them appear) | 02:38 |
| Highlife | that may be my prob | 02:38 |
| doctorzongo | ubuntu: nope -- its impossible | 02:38 |
| clanmac10 | doctorzongo:Was that for the first question | 02:38 |
| juano__ | ubuntu you have a messed up xorg ? | 02:38 |
| tech0007 | anyone knows how to make psp work with ubuntu? | 02:38 |
| ubuntu | all I need is to edit a couple of lines in my xorg.conf file from the livecd | 02:38 |
| doctorzongo | clanmac10: yes | 02:38 |
| kelsin | Highlife: also on the "Output modules" screen, amke sure to click Advanced Options and set the audio output module to "Alsa" | 02:39 |
| doctorzongo | ubuntu: i know -- but if you do that it messes up your computer and cuts off internet access -- sorry | 02:39 |
| juano__ | ubuntu well by mounting your root partition you can access your xorg.conf file through there | 02:39 |
| tritium | ubuntu: you _could_ remaster it if you really wanted to | 02:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: why not just reconfigure your xorg.conf? | 02:39 |
| EdwardXP | :( arggh its not working... | 02:39 |
| clanmac10 | Sorry I pinged out | 02:39 |
| LOGAN | is it true you might not make your own version of firefox deluxe and give it away for free? Has firefox copyright issues? | 02:39 |
| clanmac10 | doctorzongo:please repeate | 02:39 |
| juano__ | ubuntu but i would do what IndyGunFreak suggests | 02:39 |
| doctorzongo | clanmac10: yes | 02:39 |
| kelsin | EdwardXP: your color settings in gnome terminal are not working? How? | 02:40 |
| ubuntu | juano__, I think that is the problem, when I turn my computer on grub loads fine then it continues to load until all of the sudden it goes into a strange text loop | 02:40 |
| EdwardXP | its like this C:> time <--------- this is all white and the output is white too... " i want to change the output colors " | 02:40 |
| clanmac10 | I did put a RFI for it | 02:40 |
| EdwardXP | kelsin, it woks | 02:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: what has led you to believe this is a xorg issue? | 02:40 |
| juano__ | ubuntu ran ubuntu in safe mode from grub ? | 02:40 |
| doctorzongo | UBUNTU: I THINK GENETICALLY ALTERED TOMATOES PLAY A PART IN THAT | 02:40 |
| ubuntu | IndyGunFreak, juano__ It wont let me log in the scrolling text moves too fast for me to even login | 02:40 |
| doctorzongo | I THINK GENETICALLY ALTERED TOMATOES PLAY A PART IN THAT | 02:40 |
| doctorzongo | I THINK GENETICALLY ALTERED TOMATOES PLAY A PART IN THAT | 02:40 |
| doctorzongo | I THINK GENETICALLY ALTERED TOMATOES PLAY A PART IN THAT | 02:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: you would boot safe mode, which would send you to a cli | 02:40 |
| kelsin | LOGAN: firefox has a complicated license, you can take the code and change it and distribute it for free, but somet things like the icons and art are not free to distribute | 02:41 |
| clanmac10 | Just seems like in less then a year opensolaris works out the box with more wifi chipsets then ubuntu has ever done | 02:41 |
| althetuxman | clanmac10: fglrx drivers from ati | 02:41 |
| kelsin | LOGAN: (I'm generalizing here a lot, you should read the license for more details) | 02:41 |
| EdwardXP | you know what i mean kelsin | 02:41 |
| r3n0c | hi, i'm having a problem when ubuntu loads, no splash screen. and i can't get it fixed given the tutorial in the forum | 02:41 |
| clanmac10 | althetuxman:what! I don't have a ATi chipset, its a nv | 02:41 |
| ubuntu | at one point I was able to alt-f2 and enter my login befopre the errors started rolling by and edit xorg to stopp using the new nvidia drivers and use nv instead and I was able to startx | 02:41 |
| juano__ | ubuntu try booting safe mode and if you cant , well you can always boot from livecd and mount your root partition | 02:41 |
| LOGAN | kelsin: : The code for the program is Open Source, the Name and graphics are not . you can change anything you want, but you can't call it FF and distribute after you have made those changes without Mozilla's permission. | 02:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: choose safe mode from your grub menu, then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and take generic settings for everything. | 02:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | that should get you back to a GUI | 02:42 |
| ubuntu | my grub menu auto load into ubuntu | 02:42 |
| coolbhavi | ubuntu,sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command | 02:42 |
| lazarus_lupine | for example Flock is based on FF | 02:42 |
| scguy318 | ubuntu: if you're on the LiveCD try Safe Graphics mode | 02:42 |
| Highlife | kelsin: Alright I have the Advance options box checked and ALSA audio output selected I also have the HDa Intel: STAC92xx Digital device selected in AlSA Device name | 02:42 |
| kelsin | EdwardXP: if you want the "time" part to change you jsut set it in the profile editor for gnome terminal, if you want to change the "C:" part you need to learn how to edit the bash prompt | 02:42 |
| kelsin | LOGAN: yes that's basically what I just said | 02:42 |
| ubuntu | whats the command for loading the hda1 where ubuntu is installed | 02:42 |
| LOGAN | Im no legal expers and most times licenses confuse me because they are written in laywer talk | 02:42 |
| ubuntu | livecd works fine | 02:43 |
| juano__ | ubuntu you mean how to mount your partition ? | 02:43 |
| r3n0c | how do i fix the problem where the splash screen never loads.. it is making it take forever for ubuntu 7.10 to load | 02:43 |
| Dark-Dx | any eprom expert here? | 02:43 |
| ubuntu | juano__, yes | 02:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | chmod something... i do believe. | 02:43 |
| kelsin | Highlife: if you still get the /dev/dsp error when you try to play sound that's very odd, since that's a oss error | 02:43 |
| LOGAN | kelsin : just means you cannot make your own version of FF then :( | 02:43 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: you can choose to boot without splash | 02:43 |
| btard | "does anyone know of where i can find proper 3d acceleration drivers for linux" for radeon 9200 cards, which are graphics cards made by ati. | 02:43 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, where | 02:43 |
| holzmodem | hi, how can i change the font color of gtk apps (kubuntu) | 02:43 |
| kelsin | LOGAN: if you don't call if FF and don't use it's icons you can | 02:43 |
| juano__ | ubuntu: it should mount automatically if it detects installation, but if not try sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/somedir | 02:43 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst, its in defoptions | 02:43 |
| EdwardXP | i must learn | 02:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | !ati | btard | 02:44 |
| ubotu | btard: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:44 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: this line # defoptions= | 02:44 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: make it look like what I have written | 02:44 |
| juano__ | ubuntu: first mkdir /media/rootpart , then mount /dev/hda1 /media/rootpart | 02:44 |
| LOGAN | kelsin : it seems its not even allowed to spread a version with a few preferences changed | 02:44 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: then do sudo update-grub | 02:44 |
| Highlife | kelsin: I'm not getting any errors any mroe | 02:44 |
| Highlife | but i still don't have sound | 02:44 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, ok one sec | 02:44 |
| kSid | Anyone know why Ubuntu doesn't know what Monitor my Compaq V3633AU is using? | 02:44 |
| ufo-radio | I am just here | 02:44 |
| kelsin | LOGAN: not if you use their name and icons. | 02:44 |
| clanmac10 | Were does MS L@@KOut cache emails ? | 02:44 |
| juano__ | ubuntu: from there then just cd /media/rootpart and youll be inside your ubuntu HDD installation | 02:45 |
| coolbhavi | hey root partitions are detected by default first do mkdir /media/rootpart , then mount /dev/hda1 /media/rootpart | 02:45 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, so if after deftoptions it says default splash | 02:45 |
| kelsin | Highlife: any messages in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog? | 02:45 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, i just take out splash? | 02:45 |
| EdwardXP | i found it :) | 02:45 |
| coolbhavi | if it isnt working mate | 02:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | i still don't understand why he just doesn't reconfigure X, cuz i'm betting he's just gonna hose xorg.conf doing whatever he's gonna do. | 02:45 |
| juano__ | coolbhavi: yep i told him that first, but just incase it didnt he would need to do that | 02:45 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: sure, take out quiet if you want to see kernel messages | 02:45 |
| DIL | i tried to install vmware and it continually attempts to install each time i update i tried to remove completely from using Synaptic but still ...... | 02:45 |
| EdwardXP | $ export PS1="\e[0;31m[\u@\h \W]\$ \e[m " My Reference!!!! is here [ http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-shell-change-the-color-of-my-shell-prompt-under-linux-or-unix/ ] | 02:45 |
| EdwardXP | it works without the $ sign though | 02:46 |
| Highlife | kelsin: no | 02:46 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, what about lower down, in kernel: | 02:46 |
| IamReck | Does anyone know of any applications or methods used to achieve Dual Monitors for ATI Radeon graphics card? Other then the ones here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174? | 02:46 |
| r3n0c | should i take splash out of that too? | 02:46 |
| coolbhavi | yep mate | 02:46 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: change that line only | 02:46 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: then sudo update-grub | 02:46 |
| althetuxman | clanmac10: sorry ithough u said ati, in that case you need the nvidia drivers, you install them using the restricted drivers application under System -> Administration. Thats how I installed mine. | 02:46 |
| r3n0c | kk | 02:46 |
| LOGAN | kelsin : well that dissapointed me a bit. Dont worry I get over it | 02:46 |
| Dark-Dx | I assume there's no driver for a via crhome9 hc integreated video card right? | 02:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | IamReck: dualscreens are pretty hard with ATI(i never got it to work)... | 02:46 |
| LOGAN | looking for an alternative right now | 02:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | !twinview | IamReck you can try this | 02:46 |
| clanmac10 | althetuxman:Mate I know.. I got the driver setup, thats not the question | 02:46 |
| ubotu | IamReck you can try this: 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 | 02:46 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, ok i'll try reboot'n now | 02:46 |

| Dark-Dx | I assume there's no driver for a via crhome9 hc integreated video card right? | 02:47 |
| IamReck | thanks ubotu | 02:47 |
| althetuxman | clanmac10: whats the prob? | 02:47 |
| kelsin | punkgy: ssh, using putty on windows and the ssh server on ubuntu | 02:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | !yourwelcome | 02:47 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about yourwelcome - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:47 |
| clanmac10 | When a window opens, the top wigets on the tool bar of that window keep getting stuck under the top panel | 02:47 |
| Dark-Dx | I assume there's no driver for a via crhome9 hc integreated video card right? | 02:48 |
| LOGAN | kelsin : thanks for the tip | 02:48 |
| clanmac10 | So you have to press Alt+left mouse to move it down the screen | 02:48 |
| althetuxman | clanmac10: strange. I have nerver seen that happen. I have a 7600 GT | 02:48 |
| clanmac10 | in other words, how do you default were a window start in the screen on gnaome | 02:49 |
| clanmac10 | s/in/on | 02:49 |
| jrib | !devilspie > clanmac10 (read the private message from ubotu) | 02:49 |

| r3n0c | scguy318, then once it fails, it prompts for username | 02:52 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, anyway to fix this? | 02:52 |
| blahman32 | how come when i boot the live cd it boots in 640x400??? | 02:52 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: login is the username prompt | 02:52 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: unless I'm missing something? | 02:52 |
| clanmac10 | jrib: many thanks | 02:52 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, oooo. well it never says username: it just leaves the cursor flashing after it finishes loading, so i typed login... to start that? | 02:52 |
| blahman32 | how do i make it have a bigger resloution? | 02:52 |
| r3n0c | but i guess that that was the username prompt | 02:53 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: ubuntu prematurely starts the login process on tty1 | 02:53 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: since it starts the login processes while everything is loading, instead of after | 02:53 |
| punkgy | kelsin: do you know what command I would use to transfer the file over to windows while I am logged through putty? | 02:53 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: annoying but not sure how to fix | 02:53 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: a good question tho :) | 02:54 |
| ubuntu | scguy318, what do you mean that seems like what is happoening | 02:54 |
| kelsin | punkgy: sorry I didn't explain, on the putty page there is also a puttyscp or something like that program, that's the one to use to transfer files | 02:54 |
| r3n0c | ok, so i could just type the username at start? and it'll work , ok. i guess that that is fine | 02:54 |
| kSid | Ubuntu is heavier than SuSE | 02:54 |
| clanmac10 | Well I am not sure thats what I want although it is what I mean... | 02:54 |
| punkgy | ok, that makes sense, thanks | 02:54 |
| kelsin | punkgy: using the same syntax as scp on linux, so on the windows shell it's like "pscp ubuntu-user@ubuntu-ip:/path/to/file ." or something like that | 02:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: you need a better nickname, everytime someone says ubuntu, it alerts you, not a good idea in ubuntu | 02:55 |
| clanmac10 | that is, I want any app to open in the _normal_ place and not particular apply to particular apps | 02:55 |
| scguy318 | ubuntu: ? | 02:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | scguy318: he's delirious | 02:55 |
| scguy318 | IndyGunFreak: apparently :P | 02:55 |
| kelsin | punkgy: (the other solution is to make sure simple file sharing is on on windows and then share a folder and you should be able to browse to it through nautilus and the "Place -> Network" menu in ubuntu, but I always go for the command line way ussually :) | 02:56 |

| naegling23 | hey, is anyone familiar with firestarter/networking? | 02:56 |
| holzmodem | hi, how can i change the font color of gtk apps manually, cause of the definition in "kcontrol>appearance and themes" is ignored. | 02:56 |
| kelsin | clanmac10: probably not possible with gnome / metacity, devilspie can probably make rules for ALL apps, still probably your best bet | 02:56 |
| kelsin | naegling23: better just to ask your question, people will answer if they knwo anything | 02:56 |
| clanmac10 | why should it do it in the first place | 02:57 |
| clanmac10 | its move of a bug if you ask me | 02:57 |
| kelsin | clanmac10: I must have missed the initial conversation, where is it placing your apps now? | 02:57 |
| clanmac10 | windows should default in a area of the screen were you can access there widgets | 02:57 |

| r3n0c | what media player should i be using? get rid of the built in one and use vlc? | 02:58 |
| ubuntu | I can't edit the xorg.conf it is read only | 02:58 |
| naegling23 | ok, so here it goes, I have two computers on my network, one is fine (I removed iptables from it), the other one can access the internet, but not the internal network, in firestarter, i get a cannot start firewall error | 02:58 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: whatever you want | 02:58 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: though that's what I would do :P | 02:58 |
| scguy318 | !players | r3n0c | 02:58 |

| ubuntu | do i need to issue a rename command to the xorg.conf.backup file somehow? | 02:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: yuou've spent 20min doing this the wrong way, if you'd do what i told you to, it would take tyou about 2. | 02:58 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, just b/c after i updated and had it load to text mode, so i have todo startx.... when i try to play movies with vlc or the built in player... it crashes | 02:59 |
| clanmac10 | the top part of the app, that is the windows tool part with the - |=| + at the top gets stuck under the top panel every time you open any app | 02:59 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, the built in one is totem | 02:59 |
| ubuntu | IndyGunFreak, I would do it that way but grub doesnt give me an option for safe mode so I have to do it this way | 02:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: then you removed it... cuz grub puts 3 linux entries, normal, recovery, and memtest | 03:00 |
| ubuntu | Grub just boats into an insane error loop | 03:00 |
| kelsin | clanmac10: ok that is wierd, normally that should not happen, this on a pretyt new ubuntu install? | 03:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: do yuou see your grub menu? | 03:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu: I use this to make my backup cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) | 03:00 |
| eltux | how would I go about removing my /usr/local directory? | 03:00 |
| r3n0c | X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) | 03:00 |
| r3n0c | when i try to play a movie that worked before having to type startx to run the gui | 03:01 |
| r3n0c | should i not be doing startx? | 03:01 |
| r3n0c | start-gnome? or something | 03:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu: Were you trying to adjust the screen res, video drivers | 03:01 |
| ubuntu | IndyGunFreak, I have never messed with grub since I installed 6.10 as soon as i power my compuetr on it goes from bios to grub loading press escape then Starting up then errors | 03:01 |
| clanmac10 | kelsin:yep 7.10 | 03:01 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: im clueless in that area unfortunately | 03:01 |
| jrib | eltux: just delete it | 03:01 |
| jrib | !cli > eltux (read the private message from ubotu) | 03:01 |
| r3n0c | kk, from text login i do type startx tho... to get everything to load | 03:01 |
| kelsin | clanmac10: so the top appears beneath the top gnome panel? | 03:01 |
| eltux | jrib: its saying I don't have permission for one of the files | 03:02 |
| kelsin | clanmac10: did this start happening at any point, or did it do this from the beginning? | 03:02 |
| ubuntu | Jack_Sparrow, the last thing I did was get dual monitor support with nvidia gui it worked fine resatarted then errors | 03:02 |
| DM| | kelsin still there? | 03:02 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start or that perhaps | 03:02 |
| jrib | eltux: you are using sudo? | 03:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu: so the answer is yes | 03:02 |
| kelsin | clanmac10: I would try to right click ont he panel and change it's positon to the bottom and back to the top, and then change it's size and then put the size back to maybe reset the X settings dealing with parts of the screen like that | 03:03 |
| eltux | jrib: whats the command to delete in the console? I forget (<- still a linux nooblet) | 03:03 |
| eltux | terminal* | 03:03 |
| ubuntu | IndyGunFreak, No i dont see the grub menu I have had a dual boot configuration on this machine before so I know what you mean by selecting safe mode from the grub menu | 03:03 |
| kelsin | DM|: I'm still listening yes, but you're better off just asking your question with kelsin: at the front, I'll respond if I can/am here | 03:03 |
| ubuntu | Jack_Sparrow, Yes | 03:03 |
| jrib | eltux: ubotu's message explains, but it is 'rm -rf PATH'. Be *very* sure you did not make a typo | 03:03 |
| === bbell is now known as PiranhaP | ||
| ubuntu | Jack_Sparrow, Currently I am in livecd | 03:03 |
| eltux | jrib: okay. thank you | 03:03 |
| DM| | Kelsin I finally solved it... i had to fiddle and fiddle and fiddle.. for some reason ubuntu is set up to default to a low graphics if x crashes, which is fine, without this "bullet proof X" it was easier to fix... | 03:03 |
| ubuntu | I have my hd install mounted | 03:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: if you're not seeing a grub menu, then you have more problems than jsut a display issue. | 03:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu: you may now need to hit esc to get to grub for recovery mode.. | 03:04 |
| DM| | Kelsin wasnt a question hehe just talking | 03:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu: later.. time for dinner | 03:04 |
| kelsin | DM|: glad to hear it | 03:04 |
| ubuntu | Jack_Sparrow, Ahh that helps | 03:04 |
| rewks | hello | 03:04 |
| rewks | how to install GRUB to my sata? | 03:04 |
| ubuntu | Thanks guys canonical should hire you! | 03:04 |
| wsv123456 | libdvdplay0? | 03:04 |
| DM| | kelsin now im going to go start a sit in to get rid of bullet proof x | 03:04 |
| rewks | setting grup install to (sd0) instead (hd0) failed... :( | 03:04 |
| scguy318 | wsv123456: ? | 03:04 |
| r3n0c_ | scguy318, lol well um it wasn't very happy while trying to start gdm while i was ..... already using gnome lol | 03:04 |
| r3n0c_ | scguy318, but i'll see if the videos work now | 03:05 |
| rewks | how to install grub to MBR or sata (sda)? sd0 fails... | 03:05 |
| scguy318 | rewks: you shouldn't write sd0, its like hd(number, number) | 03:05 |
| dmitrig01 | burning! | 03:05 |
| kelsin | rewks: grub uses it's own naming scheme, sda might be called hd0 | 03:05 |
| rewks | scguy318: orly? so whats the no for sda ? | 03:06 |
| r3n0c_ | scguy318, ok well it works now.... would it be possible to do gdm.... instead of startx... at login? | 03:06 |
| rewks | kelsin: if hd0 is sda then what is hda and hdb ? | 03:06 |
| kelsin | it depends on your computer, if you're inside of grub (meaning you typed grub and are on a grub prompt) you can type hd and hit tab to see some info | 03:06 |
| rainwalker | Why doesn't AWN use my icon theme? | 03:06 |
| rewks | kelsin: Im installi'n ubuntu | 03:06 |
| PirateHead | rainwalker: AWN uses its own theme engine. | 03:06 |
| === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude | ||
| Dr_willis | because awn has its own icons i thought. and themes | 03:06 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c_: if gdm doesnt start automatically you'll prob have to do that, dont quote me on that | 03:07 |
| rainwalker | PirateHead: Ah, ok then | 03:07 |
| kelsin | rewks: grub uses it's own COMPLETELY DIFFERENT naming scheme, it calls hard drives hd0, hd1, etc has nothing to do with hda, sda and the like | 03:07 |
| tntCry | my ubuntu doesnt understand my mouse bindings | 03:07 |
| SithRee | has there been a release of the vmware optimized version of Ubuntu yet? | 03:07 |
| PirateHead | rainwalker: Eventually AWN and Gnome may get better integration, but keep in mind that AWN is still a very young project. | 03:07 |
| clanmac10 | kelsin: Yes thats correct, it started happening after a dpkg-configure xserver-xorg and a new nvidia card to start using compiz-fusion | 03:07 |
| kelsin | rewks: this is an error you're getting while installing? | 03:07 |
| tntCry | i cant press the back and forward buttons to use them as back forward | 03:07 |
| rainwalker | PirateHead: even though the applets use the icons from my theme? | 03:07 |
| * rewks slaps grub for using strange conventions | 03:07 | |
| naegling23 | so, firestarter is unable to start my firewall, can anyone help me out here, Im connected through a router, but im getting two devices, eth0 and eth1, should I have both? | 03:07 |
| r3n0c_ | scguy318, ... omg... .is r3n0c still online....... that is me... | 03:07 |
| Dr_willis | naegling23, one may be your wireless? | 03:07 |
| r3n0c_ | scguy318, ... hmmm running starx... then gdm... is just bad... i'm logged in twice | 03:07 |
| naegling23 | nope, no wireless here | 03:07 |
| rewks | thanks | 03:08 |
| PirateHead | rainwalker: It isn't that there is no integration. If you are interested in the specifics, you can check out what documentation there is, ask the email list, dig through the source code, and so on. | 03:08 |
| rainwalker | PirateHead: also, wouldn't GTK integration be more important than GNOME integration? | 03:08 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c_: if GNOME is already running switch to the terminal that the X server is running on | 03:08 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c_: Ctrl-Alt-F7 or w/e | 03:08 |
| geck1 | anyone familiar with compiz that can help me out with skydome? I have an image selected, but it only displays the gradient in the background | 03:08 |
| naegling23 | should I try to remove one of them somehow? | 03:08 |
| PirateHead | rainwalker: GTK is desktop-agnostic, so it doesn't deal with GNOME's icon themes, configuration, and so on. | 03:08 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c_: you dont need to start X twice, unless I'm missing someting | 03:08 |
| r3n0c | lol omg | 03:08 |
| PirateHead | rainwalker: For AWN to totally fit into the Ubuntu desktop, it will need integration both on the GTK and Gnome levels. | 03:09 |
| r3n0c | this is sweet... but useless | 03:09 |
| r3n0c | gonna just restart and see if i can fix | 03:09 |
| rainwalker | PirateHead: ah, I was just thinking GTK | 03:09 |
| naegling23 | gek1, make sure the image is set as a plugin in compiz settings | 03:09 |
| tntCry | why does ubuntu doesnt know the button forward and back | 03:09 |
| tntCry | in the mouse | 03:09 |
| belyle | gek1: also make sure that the image is sized to a power of 2 in each direction | 03:09 |
| geck1 | naegling can you elaborate please | 03:09 |
| geck1 | eh im a total noob at compiz i jus tDLed it today | 03:09 |
| pg | !automation | 03:10 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about automation - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:10 |
| geck1 | power of 2 meaning if my desktop is 1280x1024, the image should be like 2560x2048? | 03:10 |
| naegling23 | gek1, go to the compiz settings manager, go to the image loading area, make sure that all the images are selected | 03:10 |
| tntCry | i know you can forward by holding left mousebutton then tappiong on the right and for left its reciprocal but theyr is a binding in some new mouses where you can forward back easily just by tapping like in windows .. any ideas ? must i buy a new mouse? | 03:10 |
| geck1 | yes naegling, they are all selected | 03:10 |
| belyle | geck1: no, power of two meaning two^(something) ie 512, 1024, 2048 etc | 03:10 |

| geck1 | belyle, so if my desktop is 1280x1024, what size does the skydome image need to be? | 03:12 |
| kelsin | rewks: grub is running at a level below the linux kernel, it makes sense it doesn't use the linux kernel's conventions cause it can be used on any computer, not only ones with linux | 03:12 |
| belyle | geck1: actually, the skydome size really has nothing to do with your desktop size | 03:12 |
| maynard | how u gonna ban people if there is no operator | 03:12 |
| geck1 | belyle, i dont know if i follow what you mean then about the power of 2? | 03:13 |
| belyle | geck1: you can make it any size, although I recommend about a 1024x1024 if you aren't running a widescreen | 03:13 |
| kelsin | clanmac10: are you using metacity or compiz atm? | 03:13 |
| rainwalker | belyle: so if I do have a widescreen, what size should the skydome be? | 03:13 |
| operator011 | geck1: Do you mean Xx2 or X^2? | 03:14 |
| belyle | well, 2^1 = 2, 2^2=4 ... 2^5=32 ... and so on, 512 is a power of two, 1024 is a power of two, etc | 03:14 |
| geck1 | operator011, i'm not sure =P belyle was saying something about it | 03:14 |
| geck1 | belyle but what are you making a power of 2? | 03:14 |
| geck1 | oh just the skydome image size? | 03:14 |
| Dextorion | any recommendation for a webmail system? | 03:15 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, ... ok i have to login 2x now..... | 03:15 |
| belyle | geck1: the dimensions of the image. but as was said before, you need to make sure the plugin is enabled (check mark) for the skydome, and the plugin for that image type is enabled | 03:15 |
| Dextorion | i've heard about squirrelmaiil before if i recall correctly..? | 03:15 |
| geck1 | both are enabled, i double checked....yet it still wont show the image | 03:15 |
| r3n0c | scguy318, it loads fine to text... i login.. type sudo gdm... then it runs gdm... which makes me login again.. in visual mode, then it loads gnome | 03:15 |
| rainwalker | where's the info page for Compiz Fusion? someone is asking about it and I don't know where to tell them to look | 03:15 |
| roxygir3 | hi, i'm having troubles burning an .iso to DVD with dvdrecorder from terminal | 03:15 |
| r3n0c | rainwalker, what info.. like the config? | 03:16 |
| geck1 | is there a resolution limit? | 03:16 |
| rainwalker | r3 | 03:16 |
| rainwalker | r3n0c: no, like the page that explains what it is and all that | 03:16 |
| clanmac10 | kelsin:Sorry I did not see you reply, compiz | 03:16 |
| tomd123 | geck1, it's only limited by your monitor | 03:16 |
| r3n0c | rainwalker, o... sry, all i remember is to open the config... ccsm | 03:16 |
| geck1 | hmm k | 03:16 |
| kelsin | clanmac10: I would check out gconf-editor and goto "apps -> compiz" and make sure nothing about "struts" is unchecked, but I'm not running compiz so hard for me to help you past this :) good luck | 03:17 |
| tomd123 | geck1, and your system's stats | 03:17 |
| r3n0c | brb | 03:17 |

| kelsin | IowaDave: might be in ~/.xsession-errors | 03:20 |
| clanmac10 | kelsin:Ok understood, many thanks for the help. What are "struts"? | 03:20 |
| ethana2 | no, I wanted to keep track of developments in psubuntu | 03:20 |

| ketrox | where is the modprobe.conf in gutsy ? | 03:20 |
| batmansboy | hi.. I just upgraded to gutsy gibon and added the trash and home folder to my desktop via the configuration editor .. but now they're not showing up even though they're checked in the config editor .. any ideas? | 03:20 |
| bazhang | ethana2: not sure though there is a walkthrough on how to do it | 03:21 |
| kelsin | clanmac10: I knwo in windows managers like FVWM and other VERY configurable ones you can tell certain windows to ignorestruts etc | 03:21 |
| ethana2 | right.. | 03:21 |
| kelsin | clanmac10: so clearly either gnome-panel is not defining them, or compiz is not listening | 03:21 |
| ethana2 | but I wanted to contribute ideas in real time... they just need to get a channel up | 03:21 |
| ethana2 | which hasn't hapenned yet | 03:21 |
| bazhang | ethana2: set one up yourself | 03:21 |
| ethana2 | How do I do that? | 03:21 |
| ethana2 | can I do that on freenode? | 03:22 |
| Nivek_Ogre | compiz problem. was working for 2 days no problem, then i restarted and now I can't make it work. i've enabled/disabled/enabled restricted drivers. suggestions? | 03:22 |

| astro76 | Undead_Zeus, click partition, click resize, resize it.... the partition has to be unmounted first | 03:42 |
| nillll | Undead: if thats the case, boot with a linux live cd, and then try it. I believe you need to have the drive unmounted | 03:42 |

| scguy318 | mattycoze: maybe the data on that device needs an fsck | 03:54 |
| mattycoze | mmm | 03:54 |
| dutchie86 | mattycoze mount it then have a look at dmesg or /var/log/errors i think it is | 03:54 |

| K_Dallas | Jack_Sparrow, thanks i will try Xover later tonight when i work on my laptop | 04:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | coolbhavi: Things like that usually have two sides | 04:06 |
| card13 | please I don't want to have to buy another hdd | 04:06 |
| K_Dallas | thanks dutchie86 i am searching their site | 04:06 |
| dutchie86 | card13 what is your problem? | 04:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K_Dallas: If you have a copy... and it works please let us know | 04:06 |
| dutchie86 | K_Dallas no worries | 04:06 |
| coolbhavi | I have the proof also | 04:06 |
| mattycoze | dutchie86 no errors... there's nothing wrong with the HD, i just need a walkthrough the mountin process | 04:06 |
| mattycoze | *mounting | 04:06 |
| K_Dallas | Jack_Sparrow, certainly, would be my pleasure | 04:06 |
| mattycoze | ... as commical as that sounds | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | card13: first off. Ubuntu didnt do anything.. But not to argue.. lets get it fixed | 04:07 |
| dwilson805 | hello! I attempted to upgrade a fedora 7 box to fedora 8 today. After wasting 6 or 7 hours on trying to get it running again properly (grub wouldnt boot automatically, among other problems, I had to type in the configfile every time it booted), I decided to try ubuntu 7.10. It has been a little bit of a learning curve, but it installed cleanly, came right up, and is just a world of difference from my fedora experience. Thank you v | 04:07 |
| Shadow147 | dutchie86 Gutsy and I am using the Gnome GUI | 04:07 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | what file system is the fastest | 04:07 |
| card13 | in the install of Ubuntu server it had a problem creating a swap aprtion then mounting, now my hdd can't hold any kind of a partition | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dwilson805: welcome to Ubuntu | 04:07 |
| dutchie86 | mattycoze i know there is nothing wrong with your hard disk it could be that if you removed it before it cant mount to the mount point where it wants to and has a hissy fit | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | card13: do you have livecd.? | 04:07 |
| robdig | dwilson805: glad to have you on ubuntu...hope you like it | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | card13: You can also use gparted Livecd | 04:08 |
| mattycoze | dutchie86 kk, | 04:08 |
| coolbhavi | I am fed up of our communities' excessive flaming | 04:08 |
| sleepwal1 | hey you guys...does anyone know if the ati 9800 will work in xubuntu 7.10 with my current samsung 22' LCD which is fuzzy. Can anyone help? | 04:08 |
| card13 | I do, I'm trying some tools off of Heirens Bootcd | 04:08 |
| dutchie86 | mattycoze create a folder in /media called test123 then in terminal type mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test123 | 04:08 |
| K_Dallas | tuxthepenguin533, if i remember correctly it all depends on your usage and the files you manipulate normally, big or small, lots of small or not much, etc | 04:08 |
| tuxthepenguin533 | !reiser | 04:08 |
| ubotu | reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html | 04:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | coolbhavi: your conversation is offtopic.. we are here to help with ubuntu related problems, not some other irc channel | 04:08 |
| dutchie86 | sleepwal1 you installed the restricted drivers? | 04:08 |
| sleepwal1 | I jhavent purchased the card | 04:09 |
| sleepwal1 | I have an old nvidia card | 04:09 |
| coolbhavi | ok | 04:09 |
| dutchie86 | Shadow147 so when you tick the desktop effects and you restart what happens? | 04:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | card13: Hirens is good, but I thought their gparted was dated. | 04:09 |
| sleepwal1 | and the drivers are fine. Yes I have restircted drivers | 04:09 |
| card13 | I'm using extended fdisk | 04:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | card13: May I assume you have a second pc available | 04:10 |
| card13 | I just want it to hold a partition longer than 2 secconds | 04:10 |
| Shadow147 | dutchie86 well let me get compiz fusion | 04:10 |
| card13 | right, I was trying to install it on a test system | 04:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | card13: Do you make a partiton and then it disappears? | 04:10 |
| mattycoze | dutchie86 kk, now it asks me to specify the filesystem type | 04:11 |
| mattycoze | i think its fat 32 | 04:11 |
| card13 | after the apply, then reboot, yes | 04:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | card13: ide or sata... HDA or sda | 04:11 |
| card13 | ide, Maxtor 80gb | 04:11 |
| dutchie86 | mattycoze then you need to do a mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test123 -t vfat | 04:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | card13: If you boot the live ubuntu cd and tell it to use the entire drive does it work | 04:11 |
| Shadow147 | where do I get xgl | 04:11 |
| dutchie86 | mattycoze, that should, touch would work | 04:11 |
| dutchie86 | Shadow147 it should be installed | 04:12 |
| Netham45 | can I install Ubuntu to a USB memory drive? | 04:12 |
| dwilson805 | with ubuntu, how do I open firewall holes? I haven't found the firewall config file yet.... | 04:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Netyes | 04:12 |
| Netham45 | ok | 04:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Netham45: yes | 04:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Netham45: try pendrive linux | 04:12 |
| card13 | I haven't tried that yet, the server version is install only, and so I started Heiren's rigght away, so I could put Windows server 2003 on it instaed | 04:12 |
| Netham45 | Ok | 04:13 |
| dmitrig01 | Problem: my CD drive is screwed up | 04:13 |
| dmitrig01 | any other options? | 04:13 |
| Shadow147 | dutchie86 ok I have my xorg.conf up | 04:13 |
| dmitrig01 | my CD drive on the destination computer | 04:13 |
| linux88 | dwilson805 i think you need to look into iptables | 04:13 |
| dmitrig01 | not my precious lappy | 04:13 |
| mattycoze | dutchie86 yeah dude i think it worked | 04:13 |
| mattycoze | what was the -t function all about? | 04:13 |
| p1 | Could somebody give me the factoid for how to copy an installation to a new disk? | 04:13 |
| linux88 | dwilson805 are you using firestarter | 04:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | card13: try ubuntu live and tell it to use the entire drive.. it will tell us alot | 04:13 |
| robdig | dwilson805: its in iptables. if you want a gui frontend, install firestarter | 04:13 |
| Shadow147 | dutchie86 and accoring to my board it's a vesa board | 04:13 |
| mattycoze | cause that's all that i was missing from when i did it first | 04:13 |
| dutchie86 | mattycoze, that cool, now browse to ur test123 folder, the -t was to specify the type :) | 04:14 |
| Shadow147 | dutchie86 and accoring to my drive is a nvidia | 04:14 |
| card13 | extended fdisk is on 7% of trying to make a partition so, can I cancle it without a problem? | 04:14 |
| dmitrig01 | is there some way I can install ubuntu on my mac machine without access to the cd drive | 04:14 |
| dwilson805 | linux88: indeed iptables config files are what I am trying to find... | 04:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | p1: | 04:14 |
| ubotu | p1:: 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 | 04:14 |
| p1 | Jack_Sparrow: thank you! | 04:14 |
| linux88 | dwilson805 ok. well like robdig said apt-get install firestarter and you can open any ports u want | 04:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | card13: you should be able to.. you already have soft errors.. | 04:14 |
| mattycoze | dutchie86 kk, is there a way i can change the permissions so that I can have full read/write over the drive? | 04:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 04:14 |
| card13 | ok, just a minute | 04:15 |
| dwilson805 | ah am installing firestarter now | 04:15 |
| dutchie86 | mattycoze if you dont have full read write it means it was unsafely removed last time probably | 04:15 |

| Netham45 | ok, I have a laptop w/o a HD, and a 1GB USB memory stick I can boot from. Is there a Linux version I can use that will give me wireless internet and... internet? | 04:15 |
| cheeby | hi. is there a gnome/ubuntu equivalent to yakuake? | 04:16 |
| * cheeby new to ubuntu/gnome. | 04:16 | |
| scguy318 | Netham45: version, or distro? :P | 04:16 |
| mattycoze | kk so i'd just have to go gksudo umount /dev/test123 right? | 04:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Netham45: I would use ubuntu gutsy live and setup your usb as persistent drive | 04:16 |
| dutchie86 | mattycoze try safely removing it now and letting it automount again or safely remove it and mount it with the same command as before but with the -F(or f cant rember exactly which one, check the man page) switch to force it, | 04:16 |
| scguy318 | Netham45: Ubuntu can, possibly with the help of ndiswrapper | 04:16 |
| card13 | you want me to install it right or what in the live cd do you want me to do, I'm confused | 04:16 |
| Netham45 | ok | 04:17 |
| linux88 | when i go to www.whatismyip.com it is giving me i believe my dslam ip, and not a lan ip like 192.168.1.., so i was wondering why is that | 04:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | card13: yes, boot live cd and do full install | 04:17 |
| card13 | sorry, I'm still somewhat new to linux | 04:17 |
| scguy318 | linux88: because of NAT | 04:17 |
| dutchie86 | linux88 that would because of network address translation | 04:17 |
| dmitrig01 | I thought I created a live CD but my computer hates it | 04:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Netham45: you may still need to tweek the wireless, but at least with persistent mode .. things you do will be saved on the usb | 04:17 |
| Netham45 | ok | 04:18 |
| robdig | cheeby: maybe tilda? | 04:18 |
| linux88 | dutchie86 scguy318 is that a problem? | 04:18 |
| dwilson805 | I see - I didnt understand that ubuntu comes up by default with no firewall running. I was looking around for config files that didnt yet exist. | 04:18 |
| Netham45 | wait, does Gutsy fit in 1gb? | 04:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !firewall | 04:18 |
| cheeby | tilda. never heard of it. apt-cache search tilda? | 04:18 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 04:18 |
| astro76 | linux88, also 192.168.x.x is one of 3 private address ranges, these are not allowed and not valid on the public internet | 04:18 |

| Shadow147 | I thats another thing I like about ubuntu it has a firewall bult-in | 04:19 |

| p1 | Actually I want to do something more - to copy my hard disk to another disk including all the contents, to boot it in the same machine instead of the original disk. I tried dd from the original to an ext3-formatted external disk, then dd from the external disk to a formatted disk. But I get grub error 22 (No such partition). | 04:19 |
| robdig | cheeby: not sure, saw something on wikipedia that said it was the same function for gnome as yakuake | 04:19 |
| dmitrig01 | any help? | 04:19 |
| Flannel | Shadow147: thats all linux, actually. iptables is built into the kernel | 04:19 |

| linux88 | astro76 i see, so it's getting the ip from the server im goig through to get to the internet? | 04:19 |
| estupendocero | I'm about to upgrade my memory card to an e-GeForce FX5200. Is there anything I need to do before I plug it in? | 04:20 |
| {Nathan} | Is there a way I can add null data to the end of a file to make it exactly 512kb? It's about 505.4kb right now. | 04:20 |
| dutchie86 | linux88 no that is how 90% of networks if not more work these days | 04:20 |
| astro76 | linux88, that IP is the one your ISP gives you | 04:20 |
| Shadow147 | Flannel thanks for the info | 04:20 |
| cheeby | robdig, installing now. will let you know. funny, I can't live without yakuake on this new system now... | 04:20 |
| Flannel | Shadow147: didn't mean to ruin it for you or anything ;) | 04:20 |
| linux88 | astro76 oh, ok so thats some how a static ip? | 04:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | estupendocero: perhaps set your video driver to vesa generic.. unless your old card was nvidia | 04:20 |
| astro76 | linux88, you have a router? | 04:20 |
| Shadow147 | Flannel no it's ok | 04:20 |
| linux88 | astro76 yes i do | 04:21 |
| robdig | cheeby: hope it works for you | 04:21 |
| astro76 | linux88, it's most likely dynamic | 04:21 |
| dwilson805 | Jack_Sparrow: this computer sits on a lan inside a firewall. However, it coexists with windows machines, including one my son uses, and I don't trust him not to get owned... so I want the firewall up, but I will open just a few holes for services such as mysql | 04:21 |
| Shadow147 | Flannel it helps learning all I can ablout linux | 04:21 |
| linux88 | astro76 ya i use dhcp | 04:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dwilson805: firestarter or guarddog will do the trick | 04:21 |

| kiyoshi | i get ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave | 06:02 |
| kiyoshi | when playing flash | 06:02 |
| pg | Why does blkid say that my /dev/sda5 and /dev/sdb1 have the same UUID, and how can I fix that? | 06:02 |
| Nematocyst | magic_ninja, if your intent is to improve gameplay, then you probably do want positive values | 06:02 |
| kiyoshi | any idea anyone? | 06:03 |
| magic_ninja | Nematocyst: ty | 06:03 |
| kiyoshi | i really dont wanna have to reinstall linux :( | 06:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | kiyoshi: I had an answer for you but closed the link because I'd thought you'd left to reinstall. | 06:03 |
| kiyoshi | no i lost connection sorry | 06:04 |
| nnotonekind | ArtherArchnix: can you help me at all? | 06:04 |
| kiyoshi | flash used to work for me now its fucked up | 06:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | kiyoshi: I'm going to be helping nnotonekind for a bit here, but if you want to try some thinigs without me use google and search for "flash no sound ubuntu" there's a bug on the subject with links to a workaround. | 06:04 |
| Fekall | pjeide, are you still here | 06:04 |
| Fekall | so I add that into my config in the section Monitor...right | 06:05 |
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: Sure. So you are dual booting widows XP and ubuntu 7.1? | 06:05 |
| nnotonekind | no | 06:05 |
| nnotonekind | I am booting ubuntu from a cd | 06:05 |
| w30 | I have my laptop set up for dhcp and my internet server give me three name servers but they are in the wrong order; How can I reverse the order for listing in resolv.conf automatically? Is it possible to do anything besides edit resolv.conf every time I connect to the net? | 06:06 |
| kiyoshi | well that didnt freaking work | 06:06 |
| kiyoshi | now i have to reinstall | 06:06 |
| krux0 | how can i install i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc on my amd64 | 06:06 |
| TigranG | w30: cant you change it in network-manager? | 06:06 |
| thor | w30: it isn't necessary....they are searched until one is found that works | 06:07 |
| krux0 | i need the tool chain for i686 because I'm trying to cross compile | 06:07 |
| w30 | TigranG: no, it gets overwritten by dhcp. | 06:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: Sorry, I know someone was helping you. But I don't understand the backstory. Can you tell me about your setup and what happened. I see what you've tried, but I still need some more info. | 06:07 |
| nnotonekind | well right now, what I want to do | 06:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | kiyoshi: What sounds mixer are you using? | 06:07 |
| nnotonekind | is to get Ubuntu to let me access my C drive | 06:07 |
| thor | w30: but if you really want to...the nameservers are stored in /etc/resolv.conf | 06:08 |
| nnotonekind | when I go "places/computer" it just has file system | 06:08 |
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: From the live dc right? And keep the explanations on one line. | 06:08 |
| nnotonekind | yes, sorry. | 06:08 |
| w30 | thor: it takes forever to resolve names when it has to go through all three names to get to the active name server. | 06:08 |
| thor | w30: it can be edited with gedit or vi but has to be edited as root | 06:08 |
| kiyoshi | alsa i think | 06:08 |
| kiyoshi | ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave is what comes up when trying to run flash | 06:08 |
| Fezzler | The Mhz setting on my video never stays set. I change it to 97 mHz but at each boot up it's back to 50 mHz? | 06:09 |
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: ok... when when you copied those files over did you do anything special? Or just boot the live cd and copy the files? | 06:09 |
| kiyoshi | great i gotta reinstall | 06:09 |
| Fezzler | Makes screen grainy instead of smooth | 06:09 |
| kiyoshi | now everything is really fucked | 06:09 |
| pjeide | Fekall: Yes | 06:09 |
| ArthurArchnix | kiyoshi: Go reinstall then. You're too impatient for me to help you. | 06:09 |
| w30 | thor: name resolving is lightning fast if I just use the last of the three name servers but slow as hell if I use all three | 06:09 |
| nnotonekind | I booted the live cd, cut the files, and then pasted them into "my documents". that's all. | 06:09 |
| Fekall | ok...then I added "1680x1050_60" | 06:09 |
| pjeide | no | 06:10 |
| thor | w30: did you see my info about editing /etc/resolv.conf? | 06:10 |
| pjeide | did you run gtf? | 06:10 |
| Fekall | into the subsection display | 06:10 |
| Fekall | yes | 06:10 |
| pjeide | ok | 06:10 |
| Fekall | I did | 06:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: But otherwise, it's an entirely XP system? That's the only thing on there? | 06:10 |
| pjeide | change "1680x1050_60" to the name of your display | 06:10 |
| Fekall | and added this to my config in monitor section | 06:10 |
| bomanizer | so... anybody using the lowlatency kernel? I'm having hibernate issues... | 06:10 |
| pjeide | or device.. i cant remember | 06:10 |
| Fekall | in both sections | 06:10 |
| nnotonekind | Do you mean the only operating system? if so than yes. | 06:10 |
| pjeide | Fekall: I am no expert, sorry.. | 06:10 |
| w30 | thor: yeah, that works good but every time I boot I have to re-edit resolv.conf cause dhcp over writes it. | 06:10 |
| Fekall | moreso than I am ...I really apprectiate your help | 06:11 |
| Flannel | bomanizer: You might have more luck in #ubuntustudio | 06:11 |
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: Home or Pro? | 06:11 |
| bomanizer | k htx | 06:11 |
| bomanizer | erm | 06:11 |
| nnotonekind | Home I think. Or Media Center of thats an option. | 06:11 |
| thor | w30: where you define the network card you should be able to define the servers...that should turn off the updates | 06:11 |
| astro76 | nnotonekind, media center is pro | 06:11 |
| w30 | thor: I suppose I will have to try a cron job to do it but I was hoping for something else. | 06:12 |
| thor | w30: I don't use gnome...xfce...so I don't know where to find it in gnome | 06:12 |
| astro76 | nnotonekind, pro plus the media center stuff ;) | 06:12 |
| ArthurArchnix | Hmm... well, tell you what. Gutsy has this thing called ntfs-3g that I've used loads to read and write from ntfs. You can see your files with the Ubuntu live cd? That is, you can see them and open them? | 06:12 |
| nnotonekind | haha. alright. | 06:12 |
| thor | w30: you don't need a cron job...it is possible to not update from the dhcp server | 06:12 |
| Flannel | ArthurArchnix: you have been able to read ntfs by default for many years | 06:12 |
| ArthurArchnix | astro76: Thanks... was wondering about encrypted "my documents" preventing a sensible write. | 06:12 |
| mwansa | hmm, gnome main menu fails to open so when i run alacarte i get :ImportError: no module named glade. just not sure to what package i should install..i seem to have all the packages | 06:13 |
| thor | ArthurArchnix: does the live CD support ntfs partitions? | 06:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | Flannel: You have a point, or maybe want to step in? I'm no expert on NTFS like you, so if you'd like to help I'd be glad to step aside. | 06:14 |
| === Un|Ko` is now known as OzRiC | ||
| ArthurArchnix | thor: Yes. At least, I'm sure it has read. I'm not sure if the live cd mounts ntfs FS's as r/w... I'd hope not. | 06:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | :) | 06:15 |
| nnotonekind | For what its worth, I was able to see the C drive the first two times I booted Ubuntu. But this time I loaded it, got a Daemon error, and cant see my C drive | 06:15 |
| mwansa | hmm, gnome main menu fails to open so when i run alacarte i get :ImportError: no module named glade. just not sure to what package i should install..i seem to have all the packages | 06:15 |
| thor | ArthurArchnix right...I know it reads them, but I don't know about writes | 06:15 |
| feixuexiao | 有人在吗 | 06:15 |
| astro76 | !cn | feixuexiao | 06:15 |
| ubotu | feixuexiao: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 06:15 |
| thor | ArthurArchnix the restore would have been ntfs, and the hard drive ntfs, but it sounds like the write by the live cd may have scrambled the drive | 06:16 |
| ArthurArchnix | thor: I haven't even figured out why nnotonekind is booting an ubuntu cd yet :) | 06:16 |
| thor | ArthurArchnix that crossed my mind too | 06:17 |
| sleepwalk | you guys what's the command to start the auto program that congigs my X11 xorg config file | 06:17 |
| glassface | I want to remote login to my office system from home. what software is required for this.. both r running ubuntu 7.10 | 06:17 |
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: Are you able to boot windows? | 06:17 |
| nnotonekind | A friend recommended it as a solution. Yes I can boot windows just fine. | 06:17 |
| thor | sleepwalk:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh | 06:17 |
| === T1m is now known as T1m0thy | ||
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: If you can boot windows, can you not log into your account? | 06:18 |
| sleepwalk | thanks thori | 06:18 |
| nnotonekind | I can log in. There are just 90 GB of files I cant access when logged into windows. when I used Ubuntu I found them in a folder and tried to move them. | 06:18 |
| glassface | I don't think ssh will work for this.. | 06:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: Ok... I feel like we're making progress here. When you say there's 90GB of files you can't access.... what do you mean? | 06:19 |
| thor | glassface: ssh is the best bet...what exactly do you want to do? | 06:19 |
| Hanyou | Dumb question what command do you put in terminal to get to usr/lib directory? | 06:19 |
| glassface | I want to controll my office system or my friend's system to help.. | 06:19 |
| glassface | and for that I need to login to their systems.. | 06:20 |
| glassface | but they are not having public ip's | 06:20 |
| nnotonekind | I did a PC recovery and all my files disappeared. my program files stayed, and the space on my hard drive was still being taken up by them, But they were NOWHERE to be found. I literally searched everywhere possible. My properties for the C drive told me I had 223 GB of space, with 90 GB free. I caculated everything on my C drive and it only equaled 40 GB. So the files were there, but windows wasn't recognizing them. | 06:20 |
| thor | glassface: ok...I do this with my systems so...are you ready to take notes? | 06:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | Hanyou: cd means change directory | 06:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | cd /usr/lib | 06:20 |
| glassface | yes.. | 06:20 |
| Hanyou | ArthurArchnix: It says it cannot find directory. | 06:21 |
| thor | glassface: first I would suggest you use ssh and tunneling. There are several howtos that explain it...I will just give yhou the commands and you can look further if you want. | 06:21 |
| glassface | ok | 06:21 |
| neur1 | if I add the xfce desktop to gutsy will the effects stll work ? like the wobbly windows. | 06:21 |
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: And you've searched Windows XP help channels? I just ask because, it's possible that an Ubuntu Live cd will recover your files, but I wouldn't recommend it as a first step. | 06:21 |
| Hanyou | Ok, nvm wrong window | 06:21 |
| game | Hello is there a app for UBUNTU that is like hypper cam??? | 06:21 |
| thor | glassface: I would suggest moving ssh off of port 22...change the port assignment in /etc/sss/sshd_config to something like 45000 | 06:22 |
| ArthurArchnix | Hanyou: Do cd /usr | 06:22 |
| glassface | ok | 06:22 |
| thor | glassface: you need then to open port 45000 on the firewall or wifi router, and then forward it to the local IP address port 45000 | 06:22 |
| ArthurArchnix | Hanyou: the do "ls" to show what directories and files are available | 06:22 |
| thor | glassface: remember, on the machine you wnat to control you have to run ssh-server (sshd) | 06:22 |
| nnotonekind | Well I FOUND my files with Ubuntu. When I tried moving that folder it appeared in my documents, where i put it, but I still couldnt access it. Then I loaded Ubuntu up again and it turned all the files in that folder into one single index.dat file. Someone then recommended I do a system recovery to before I moved the files, so I loaded Ubuntu yet again, and was going to do that, but my C drive isnt being seen by Ubuntu anymore. | 06:23 |
| game | Hello is there a app for UBUNTU that is like hypper cam??? | 06:23 |
| glassface | ok. | 06:23 |
| nnotonekind | oh! and It was recommended that I load Ubuntu, go to my "windows partition" and rename a previous recovery to the current one. I dont remember exactly how they put it, but it was something like that. | 06:24 |
| thor | glassface: you are going to use vnc to control the other computer...I think you can set it up so they can see what you are doing...but I have never tried that part. You have to run vncserver on the computer you want to control with the command 'vncserver :1' | 06:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: Don't worry about it nnotonekind. I realize the files are still there... probably.. and that ubuntu saw them. What I'm saying is, you're asking Ubuntu to mess with XP and NTFS. Both are closed source and the Open Source community has had to do its best to work with it without MS cooperation. So, what i'm saying is if a MS solution is availabe, it's probably best to try that first. | 06:24 |
| glassface | what if I want to access more than one systems from our office.. there are nearly 20 systems which are sharing same connection with 192.168.0.x ip address.. will it work.. | 06:24 |
| thor | glassface: there are other options you might want to use....do a ' man vncserver' to see them all. | 06:24 |
| vvn | I'm getting error 17 at stage 1.5 of grub after an install of gutsy, what should I look for? I booted on the dvd and mounted my root fs | 06:24 |
| nnotonekind | There wasnt. I went through support and they kept telling me it was spyware, or that the 90 GB were just hidden system files. They werent helping me at all. | 06:25 |
| slowthy | I am running ubuntu 7.10, and I have an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 card, and I can't seem to find the drivers for it, can anyone help me? | 06:25 |
| glassface | I worked with ssh,sshd, vncserver in the office. now it is different.. | 06:25 |
| thor | glassface: you log in to the other machine via ssh with the command 'ssh -L 5901:<ipaddress>:5901 <ipaddress> where the ipaddress is the address of the computer you want to control. This sets up the ssh tunnel | 06:25 |
| glassface | ok.. looks like that it will work out.. | 06:26 |
| thor | glassface: by using an ssh tunnel you only have to open the ssh port on the firewall...everything else goes through that | 06:26 |
| thor | glassface: when you have logged in via ssh...just run vnc on your computer and point it to 'localhost:1' ...it should automatically be forwarded to the other machine. | 06:27 |
| ArthurArchnix | nnotonekind: Let's go to a PM... I'd like to try and help you, but I'm not sure the OPS will allow this kind of thing here. This seems like XP trouble. | 06:27 |
| glassface | thanx.. thor. | 06:27 |
| thor | glassface: youi might need 'locahost:5901'....can't recall at the moment <smile> | 06:27 |
| glassface | will try this one now. | 06:27 |
| thor | glassface: good luck | 06:28 |
| nnotonekind | alright, did you get my PM? | 06:28 |

| tritium | ntbnnt: no worries | 07:02 |
| slowthy | crdlb: no, they aren't | 07:02 |
| gruntLOL | Is there a way I can make a link whereby if I click on said link on a windows machine it opens the samba shared folder so I can drag and drop files? | 07:02 |
| crdlb | slowthy: yes, they are. What makes you say they aren't? | 07:03 |
| ntbnnt | i like to sit and read what's going on here, and that one line stuff was hurting my head tritium | 07:03 |
| rgnr | help please! can't make me mic work! | 07:03 |
| slowthy | crdlb: because I looked before I came into the channel | 07:03 |

| virtuososteve | does anyone know? | 07:03 |
| ankur | ? | 07:03 |
| virtuososteve | what the pata_it821x driver does? | 07:04 |
| slowthy | in the list under intel the screens and graphics menu | 07:04 |
| crdlb | slowthy: ubuntu hardy comes with xserver-xorg-video-intel, which is the only driver for intel cards that exists | 07:04 |
| virtuososteve | im trying to install suse and it freezes when its gets there | 07:04 |
| crdlb | well there's -i810 too, but that's really the same driver (an older version) | 07:04 |
| thor | gruntLOL: you should be able to map the network drive, then use the explorer in windows to drag and drop to the drive/directory you map the network drive to | 07:04 |
| Micheru | virtuososteve: you want #opensuse | 07:05 |
| virtuososteve | their not answering | 07:05 |
| stdin | well this is Ubuntu support, not suse support | 07:05 |
| Micheru | well you won't get an answer here | 07:05 |
| rgnr | no help here ( | 07:06 |
| gruntLOL | thor that didnt make much sense. Heh basically what I am trying to achieve is. My gf is going overseas. I have a nix box set up with a samba share so as she can just open my nixbox url click on a link and have it open the samba shared folder in windows explorer. Problem is I cant get the link to work | 07:06 |
| tritium | virtuososteve: you mean "they're" not answering? | 07:06 |
| ce_kucrut | lllll | 07:06 |
| virtuososteve | actually they just did | 07:06 |
| w30 | gruntLOL: what happens when you drag the shared folder from (Network neighborhood or whatever winders calls it) to your windows desktop? | 07:06 |
| thor | gruntLOL it can be done...but you need to set up a bunch of network stuff. | 07:06 |
| virtuososteve | what does it actually do though, the driver? | 07:07 |
| tritium | virtuososteve: this channel is for _ubuntu_ support | 07:07 |
| thor | gruntLOL first, you need a fixed IP at your computer...do you have that? | 07:07 |
| virtuososteve | doesn't that driver also apply on ubuntu? | 07:07 |
| gruntLOL | thor such as? I already have the ports forwarded to the nix box so you can see the home page etc | 07:07 |
| gruntLOL | dyndns is on auto update and the box is on static | 07:07 |
| gruntLOL | but <a href="//grnt.homelinux.net/share/incoming">Click here your cool</a> throws an error | 07:07 |
| gruntLOL | for some reason | 07:08 |
| thor | gruntLOL you willl need other ports open to get to the network drive...port 80 won't do it. | 07:08 |
| thor | gruntLOL not sure what ports windows nfs uses | 07:08 |
| gruntLOL | I think its 21 ill go looking | 07:08 |
| gruntLOL | so the nix box is configured right then its just my link thats wrong I spose | 07:08 |
| thor | gruntLOL nope...21 is ftp | 07:08 |
| tritium | !enter | gruntLOL | 07:08 |
| ubotu | gruntLOL: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 07:08 |
| gruntLOL | ubotu sorry will do ;) | 07:09 |
| HateX | lol | 07:09 |
| thor | gruntLOL on the windows machine you right click the My Computer icon and 'map a network drive'. In that config you enter the ip address of your computer...the outside address, not the 192.168 address | 07:09 |
| thor | gruntLOL somewhere in that config windows has a checkbox for reconnecting at logon | 07:10 |

| HateX | !loadable kernel modules | 07:18 |
| ^root^ | that works for ext2, its nice app, i have some experience with it, trying it on ext4 | 07:19 |
| crdlb | slowthy: you said you "switched over to the i810 card"? | 07:19 |
| crdlb | from what? | 07:19 |
| slowthy | oh, my bad, I ment i changed the drivers from the generic intel driver to the i810 driver | 07:19 |
| tritium | HateX: query ubotu in private when you're shooting in the dark for information like that | 07:19 |
| crdlb | slowthy: there's nothing generic about "intel" | 07:19 |
| crdlb | it's a newer version of the i810 driver | 07:20 |
| crdlb | i810 is only still included because some people have more success with the older version | 07:20 |

| bomanizer | any hints on where to look if a custom kernel breaks hibernation? | 07:23 |
| bullgard1 | [Gutsy] I tried Suspend-to-Disk unsuccessfully. Now ifconfig > eth0 doesnt show an IP address any more. 'sudo ifup eth0' replies: "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0." What should I do now? | 07:24 |
| crdlb | slowthy: switch back to intel, then I may be able to help you fix it | 07:24 |
| DPic | Okay i have a bit of a lengthy problem. I decided to install Ubuntu on my family computer...without permission but i figured it would be fine since i've already installed it on three of the computers in the house without a problem and been using it on my own without windows for over a year. Anyways, enough about the situation, let's get down to the problem. | 07:24 |
| DPic | The family computer has 2 HDDs in it. A 40 GB disk and a 120 GB disk. Both drives contain an installation of Windows (The installation on the 40 GB drive got messed up and we got a new hard drive so there is now an installation on the larger drive as well but there were still some things that hadn't been moved from the old drive). | 07:24 |
| slowthy | crdlb: ok, is there any way to do this in the terminal? | 07:24 |
| DPic | The LiveCD didn't work because of some display issue. It's an old computer and in case you were wondering it has an nvidia geforce2 mx/mx 400. Using the alternate CD, i tried partitioning that 120 GB drive since that one was mostly empty but for some reason it was unable to so i partitioned 5 GB off the 40 GB drive instead (ubuntu only requires 4). | 07:25 |
| dutchie86 | bullgard1 have you had a look in the forums | 07:25 |
| DPic | Well the installation all went fine until it came to installing GRUB. Grub asked me if whether or not to install it to the master boot record, listed one installation of windows, and told me that i would be able to boot the listed operating systems if i were to install GRUB to the mbr. I said no since the other installation of windows was missing, and it asked me where to install it to instead. | 07:25 |
| DPic | It wasn't really clear on what the options were. It just listed the mbr, and two drives, on of which was on the same sick as the mbr. I'm too tired at this point to remember my reasoning but it was an admittedly stupid move. I tried one of the drives for whatever reason and it didn't work so i tried the other one and the installation was successful. HOWEVER, when the computer booted up, it just said No operating system detected or something along those lin | 07:25 |
| crdlb | DPic: don't paste all that... | 07:25 |
| DPic | really sorry | 07:25 |
| crdlb | !xconfig | slowthy | 07:25 |
| ubotu | slowthy: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes | 07:25 |
| DPic | that was pretty rude of me | 07:25 |
| bullgard1 | dutchie86: Have you read the newspapers? | 07:25 |
| DPic | i'm just all wound up because if i don't have this fixed tomorrow i'm dead | 07:25 |
| slowthy | ok | 07:26 |
| slowthy | thakns | 07:26 |
| dutchie86 | bullgard1 it is a common problem that certain hardware is not supported, people in here are happy to help but it is pretty redundant if it already discussed and reslolved in the forums | 07:27 |
| thor | DPic: do you have the windows install cd? | 07:27 |
| mjancaitis | Evening, ladies and gents | 07:27 |
| DPic | thos, not sure | 07:28 |
| DPic | thor * | 07:28 |
| DPic | i think so | 07:28 |
| thor | DPic: you need to restore the mbr in windows, then the next time you install ubuntu <smile> first, give it a little more space...I would suggest 10-15G and answer yes when it asks about replacing the master boot record. Now...how to restore the mbr.... | 07:29 |
| DPic | well there was only enough for 5GB, i was going to expand it once we were ready to get rid of windows on that drive | 07:29 |
| sangprabo | hi all.. Can i just resize my / partition without affecting the other partition and without reinstall my KUbuntu? I'm using Gutsy now.. Thanks before | 07:30 |
| DPic | but yeah, hwo do i restore the mbr? | 07:30 |
| thor | DPic: insert a windows install cd (it does not have to be the one for your computer....any one will do). Boot from the CD and when it asks choose "R"epair. When it drops to the dos prompt type 'fixmbr' and it should reboot from the hard drive | 07:30 |
| sangprabo | and, is it safe? | 07:30 |
| DPic | thor, that's it? | 07:30 |
| thor | DPic: I can make it harder if you like | 07:30 |
| DPic | hmmm...i might like the challenge | 07:31 |
| DPic | lol thanks for the help! | 07:31 |
| sangprabo | thor: Can we just use the live cd to fix that? | 07:31 |
| thor | sangprabo: you need the windows install cd...not the linux install cd | 07:31 |
| mjancaitis | Only one in tonight, thor? | 07:32 |
| thor | mjancaitis ? It appears I am the only one answering at the moment...but that will change I am sure | 07:32 |
| mansour | how can i install screenlets? | 07:33 |
| mjancaitis | thor: any chance, in that case, that you have an idea why if my network disconnects, my keyboard stops responding? | 07:33 |
| morsnoctus | quit | 07:33 |
| thor | mjancaitis now that just begs for a smart answer...but I will exercise restraint <smile>. Sorry...I have no idea | 07:34 |
| mjancaitis | :D | 07:34 |
| thor | mjancaitis could be because your keyboard realizes there is no longer anyone to talk to | 07:35 |
| mjancaitis | Can you help me find and remove all instances of ndiswrapper, then, including the module I may have loaded? | 07:35 |
| mjancaitis | Aw, sad face | 07:35 |
| K_Dallas | Hi guys! My Toshiba satellite seems not to be compatible with compiz. however i have seen people bypassing the blacklist and that is what i did. it seems to be working except for playing video/DVD . Is that all or I am missing other features of compiz? The reason that i am asking is that I don't care much about video on my laptop and if the other features are working I would be content. thanks | 07:35 |
| thor | mjancaitis that is easy....first try 'sudo killall ndiswrapper' | 07:35 |
| gRnt | I was wondering if anyone could recommend and easy to install and configure FTP program via console on ubuntu. | 07:35 |
| slowthy | crdlb: ok, I have the x window working, is there any way I can get the visual enhancement to work? | 07:35 |
| thor | mjancaitis the hard way is to to a 'ps ax | grep ndis' and kill each process individually | 07:36 |
| mjancaitis | thor: done, no process killed | 07:36 |
| thor | mjancaitis check the second command (ps ax...) and see if they are all gone | 07:36 |
| clever | K_Dallas: playing videos with an overlay has less cpu load but may break with stuff like compiz(i dont know how to fix but it might be fixable) | 07:36 |
| thor | gRnt: there is a console ftp installed by default | 07:36 |
| clever | K_Dallas: but you should also be able to play the video without an overlay(with more cpu usage) | 07:37 |
| gRnt | thor do you know how I can access it to set it up | 07:37 |
| mjancaitis | thor: 6781 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep ndis... do I need to sudo killall 6781? or how do I go about that | 07:37 |
| clever | K_Dallas: the way you do it depends on what video player you use | 07:37 |
| thor | gRnt there is no setup...do a 'man ftp' and it will tell you all the command line options | 07:37 |
| K_Dallas | clever, usually mplayer | 07:37 |
| thor | mjancaitis no...that is the process you are running to look for ndis...it found only itself | 07:37 |
| clever | K_Dallas: checking | 07:37 |
| mjancaitis | thor: sweet | 07:37 |
| K_Dallas | clever, is it the question of VO to be set to something other than XV or so | 07:37 |
| thor | mjancaitis I have my moments <smile> | 07:38 |
| clever | K_Dallas: yep | 07:38 |
| K_Dallas | great, i will try that | 07:38 |
| clever | K_Dallas: try -vo x11 | 07:38 |
| K_Dallas | thanks | 07:38 |
| clever | K_Dallas: -vo help will list all vo's your mplayer supports | 07:38 |
| mjancaitis | thor: do I need to look for modules or anything like that, or is the simple non-presence of any files enough to preclude it from having any effect on my system? | 07:38 |
| K_Dallas | true | 07:38 |
| clever | K_Dallas: some are clearly not for X such as console vidix(for text/console mode) | 07:38 |
| K_Dallas | clever, so besides the movie and overlay issue, i should be getting all the other features of compiz | 07:39 |
| clever | K_Dallas: without root you cant realy do harm by picking a invalid mode | 07:39 |
| slowthy | crdlb: ok, I have the x window working, is there any way I can get the visual enhancement to work? | 07:39 |
| thor | mjancaitis if it isn't in the process list it isn't affecting your system...but it might load again at boot if necessary...I wouldn't have any way of knowing your setup | 07:39 |
| K_Dallas | all right | 07:39 |
| clever | K_Dallas: if the video card supports compiz everything should work | 07:39 |
| thor | mjancaitis if it was only loaded manually by you...then it is gone | 07:39 |
| gRnt | thor ive had a read but I will admit being this is my first install I am a little confused heh | 07:39 |
| mjancaitis | thor: is there some list I can look at to see the modules it loads at boot? | 07:39 |
| mjancaitis | thor: pretty sure ndis had me add it to etc/modules or something like that... modprobe.d and this and that | 07:40 |
| K_Dallas | clever, only if it did ;) now i am wondering if this card of mine would ever get support in compiz | 07:40 |
| thor | mjancaitis not easily...do a reboot and check for ndiswrapper again...see if it comes back. The modprobe thing loaded it manually...it might not load again at reboot | 07:40 |
| clever | i think all it needs is to be able to do complex video stuff in the cards GPU | 07:40 |
| K_Dallas | clever, i might change the graphic card in a few months | 07:41 |
| mjancaitis | thor: ok, then... doesn't look like ndis is involved in my problem despite what google may say :( | 07:41 |
| mjancaitis | Thanks | 07:41 |
| clever | K_Dallas: i have 2 models of a dell laptop | 07:41 |
| thor | mjancaitis you might have to follow the howto again inreverse and take out what you added | 07:41 |
| K_Dallas | i removed vista trom this laptop and i am honestly so happy that i did it ;) my computer is now at least twice faster ;) | 07:41 |
| clever | K_Dallas: one is older and doesnt work in compiz and the other does | 07:41 |
| K_Dallas | i see | 07:41 |
| clever | i only noticed the problem when another came up | 07:41 |
| clever | the newer dell is my dads work pc | 07:41 |
| clever | K_Dallas: but a while ago the hdd in it got corupt and the lcd on my older dell cracked | 07:42 |
| K_Dallas | truth to be told, i am not much of an eye candy guy but i was darn too curious to see how compiz works as i hadnt touched ubuntu in over 2 years | 07:42 |
| clever | K_Dallas: so i put my working drive in dads working computer and ubuntu had no trouble at all being in a diff pc | 07:42 |
| K_Dallas | :) | 07:42 |
| clever | K_Dallas: win95 even has trouble being moved between 2 nearly identical laptops | 07:43 |
| clever | vista would probly have a heart attack after calling microsoft | 07:43 |
| K_Dallas | lol | 07:43 |
| clever | while playing arround with the new things i was able to do i found compiz worked | 07:43 |
| rubytouch | After installing git with sudo apt-get install git, I can't run git clone git://... as I get command not found. What's the problem? | 07:43 |
| thor | clever: is there a way to tell vista has died? | 07:43 |
| thor | clever: other than the improved performance | 07:43 |
| clever | then it stoped working when i put the drive back in my old pc | 07:43 |
| mjancaitis | thor: what's the reverse of modprobe? | 07:43 |
| K_Dallas | you know that MS is making money because of this so no surprise ;) you probably know Al Wierd song about pentium and win95 | 07:43 |
| clever | thor: lol | 07:43 |
| thor | mjancaitis rmmod | 07:44 |
| crdlb | slowthy: what does "glxinfo|grep direct" say? | 07:44 |
| clever | thor: win95 had to reinstall half its drivers i think and even then it had problems | 07:44 |
| rubytouch | nevermind, solved.. I needed git-core | 07:44 |
| thor | mjancaitis modprobe is relate to lsmod....lsmod installs a module, modprobe installs that module and all related modules as listed in modules.conf | 07:44 |
| clever | thor: insmod loads the module | 07:45 |
| clever | thor: lsmod lists the loaded ones | 07:45 |
| thor | clever...oops right...insmod not lsmod | 07:45 |
| slowthy | crdlb: it says yes | 07:45 |
| clever | thor: rmmod unloads it, and modprobe can load&unload&load things the one you want depends on | 07:45 |
| thor | must be getting late | 07:45 |
| clever | yeah its 3am here:P | 07:45 |
| mjancaitis | thor: clever: I see. Thanks guys | 07:45 |
| clever | :) | 07:45 |
| crdlb | slowthy: there doesn't seem to be a problem then. what happens if you try to enable visual effects? | 07:46 |
| thor | clever...3! 3 would be a heatwave ... it is -30 here! | 07:46 |
| clever | lol | 07:46 |
| clever | i didnt say the temp was 3:P | 07:46 |
| mjancaitis | 2 am and 70F. I win! :D | 07:47 |
| clever | i said the time is 3am | 07:47 |
| thor | ah....must be getting late <smile> | 07:47 |
| slowthy | crdlb: "Desktop effects could not be enabled" | 07:47 |

| noodles12 | when emptying the trash, I get a bunch of "directory not empy while deleting /home/user/documents etc" I never wanted to delete my home folder but it always pops up. what's gong on? | 07:51 |
| danikarX | thor: rm -rf <directory> should work | 07:52 |
| mirko | Mykrgrav: rm -r should work | 07:52 |
| slowthy | thanks a lot crdlb | 07:52 |
| danikarX | My bad | 07:52 |
| danikarX | lol | 07:52 |
| thor | Mykrgrav you remove a directory with rmdir but it will not work if the dir has files in it | 07:52 |
| WGGMk | Mykrgrav: yea just use rm -rf | 07:52 |
| Mykrgrav | WGGM: i tried that, but it says no such file or directory | 07:52 |
| danikarX | Then ur typing the dir wrong | 07:53 |
| WGGMk | Mykrgrav then it doesnt exist or you typed it wrong | 07:53 |
| === danikarX is now known as Danikar_X | ||
| mirko | Mykgrav: Use the TAB Key to get the right dir after typing the first letter | 07:53 |
| WGGMk | Mykrgrav: acctually i think its "sudo rm -Rf" | 07:53 |
| noodles12 | danikarX: won't that delete stuff in there? | 07:54 |
| Danikar_X | noodles12: That is what he wants, I belive. | 07:54 |
| noodles12 | my problem is i'm just emptying hte trash of like. random stuff. and that message always pops up. the thing is I don't want to delete my hoem folder | 07:54 |
| noodles12 | Danikar_X: ooh my bad, i read his reply wrong. just ignore me | 07:54 |
| DPic | thor, "except for your earlier statements" what do you mean? | 07:55 |
| thor | DPic you said you were installing it on the sly...I would want the safest out I could find once things went wrong | 07:55 |
| Danikar_X | noodles12: Your trash isnt emptying at all when u try? | 07:56 |
| WGGMk | Mykrgrav: did you try with the capital R (sudo rm -Rf)?? | 07:56 |
| noodles12 | Danikar_X: after i tell it to skip all those things. it'll empty the contents. but my home folder isn't in the trash but it always tries to delete them when i empty so i get those messages | 07:56 |
| Danikar_X | WGGMk: It shouldn't need to be capitalized. Id imagine he is just typing it wrong or the file doesnt exist. | 07:56 |

| DanaG | screenshot of this new theme? | 08:01 |
| HateX | thor , yes but it has an internal address of 169.254.0.0 | 08:02 |
| thor | HateX looks like your dhcp is trying to talk on eth0 | 08:03 |
| thor | HateX or maybe a streamer or some such...I believe that is a broadcast address | 08:03 |
| DPic | thor, file system doesn't have expected size "for windows to like it" | 08:04 |
| HateX | thor, yeah someone here had me run dhclient a little while ago | 08:04 |
| HateX | can i stop this via command line? | 08:04 |
| thor | HateX do a 'ps ax | grep dhcp' and kill the process that shows up...or try 'killall dhcpd' but I don't think that will work. Either way...you will have to kill it as root | 08:05 |
| HateX | ok could this be fixed by a restart maybe? | 08:06 |
| thor | DPic: yeah...that was what I was afraid of...you might have scrambled something in the drive. That easy fix should have repaired the mbr...I have used it too many times <smile> | 08:06 |

| Danikar_X | smmagic: Windows overwrote your MBR | 08:15 |
| smmagic | You have the website? | 08:15 |
| thor | smmagic: I have a large note that tells you how to reinstall grub....but have never used pastebin <smile> | 08:16 |
| HateX | is there a site that gives some basic shell commands that people might need | 08:16 |
| DPic | thor, if i found the windows cd and used that to fix the mbr instead, i don't suppose that would do anything, would it? | 08:16 |
| DPic | since this is a problem with the file system | 08:17 |
| smmagic | I have no idea how to do it...geez | 08:17 |
| Danikar_X | smmagic: this should work http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD-ROM.html | 08:17 |

| DPic | no i said i can't find my windows cd | 08:17 |
| DanaG | Is there an easy way to append one .wav file to another, via command line? | 08:17 |

| ArthurArchnix | Hey.... what are some good gnome video creators... like kino | 08:17 |
| smmagic | Don't I need ubuntu to do that? | 08:17 |
| thor | DPic...ah...misunderstood. Yes, by all means find any windows install cd and try fixmbr first | 08:17 |
| Danikar_X | One sec, | 08:18 |
| DPic | but isn't the mbr a whole different issue from the file system? | 08:18 |
| DPic | and what does the repair a broken system option do on the ubuntu install cd | 08:18 |
| Danikar_X | smmagic: Can u access anything on ur Ubuntu drive with the Ubuntu Live CD? | 08:18 |

| Hanyou | Hello, I'm using a ATI Radeon x700 Mobility Graphics card and when I use "glxinfo | grep -i direct" I get thre return of "direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)" I'm currently trying to get OpenGL to work in order to play a game in Wine. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated:) | 08:24 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: what Xorg module are you using? | 08:24 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: you probably should be using ati module | 08:24 |
| DPic | ArthurArchnix, Thor, thanks, but sincei can't get into windows, how do i run the program? | 08:24 |
| Hanyou | How would I check that? | 08:24 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: peek in your xorg.conf | 08:24 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:25 |
| thor | DPic....you can run it from the dos prompt after you boot from the install cd <smile> | 08:26 |

| thor | scguy318 sure it can...they are both places where most people don't have the foggiest what to type | 08:27 |
| DPic | now i go ahead and continure with the filesystem being "the wrong size", could i get into windows after fixing the grub issue and correct the problem then, if it still is one, or would windows not even be able to boot? | 08:27 |
| thor | scguy318 but in this case we actually ARE talking about the dos prompt | 08:28 |

| scguy318 | !envy | Danikar_X, mikebeecham | 08:31 |
| ubotu | Danikar_X, mikebeecham: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 08:31 |
| thor | acxoinsddfhen you could write a script that would do all the work with one command...if you are up on scripts | 08:31 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: I was under the impression that fglrx was not required for legacy chipsets | 08:31 |
| DPic | ArthurArchnix since then, i have found that windows thinks the file system is a different size than it actually is now that i've resized the partitions which doesn't quite make sense to me because shouldn't windows know the change when i partition the disks? | 08:32 |

| RatThing | mikebeecham, you need to examine your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:32 |
| scguy318 | mikebeecham: reinstall the package | 08:32 |
| DPic | like, how would people dual-boot if it didn't? | 08:32 |
| ArthurArchnix | DPic: Lol. I find your sit amusing. You've secretly tied to change the OS. Son, You've got balls. | 08:32 |
| scguy318 | mikebeecham: if you're desperate to return to a GUI dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg at recovery console and pick vesa | 08:32 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: you could try replacing the fglrx line here: Driver "fglrx" <--- and change to Driver "vesa" | 08:33 |
| acxoinsddfhen | thor: how?? | 08:33 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: I mean | 08:33 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: ati | 08:33 |
| lfs | hi all | 08:33 |
| DPic | ArthurArchnix i've been waiting too long for this :) | 08:33 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: not vesa, | 08:33 |
| mikebeecham | scguy318: you mention vesa...is this anything to do with installing virtualbox yesterday, do you think? | 08:33 |
| scguy318 | mikebeecham: no | 08:33 |
| mikebeecham | hmmm ok | 08:33 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: make sure to backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make the changes, then restart X | 08:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | DPic: So what went wrong? More importantly, did you get PAST teh partitioning screen? | 08:33 |

| thor | acxoinsddfhen how what...how to write the script? Man, I am not going to try that here <smile> | 08:34 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: since xorg.conf is owned by user/group root, you'll have to launch an editor with root permission like this: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:34 |

| DPic | ArthurArchnix, the first time i had no problem. the second time around, i got that message and haven't gotten past partitioning. there is the option to ignore the error but i'm not willing to do that yet. could it be that i installed grub onto one of the drives which resized the filesystem? i don't think so since making a change like that would have aken much longer than installing grub did | 08:35 |
| DPic | well i shouldn't say i had *no* problem the first time | 08:35 |
| mikebeecham | scguy318: I went into Synaptics to choose the following: but it was not listed: linux-restircted-modules 2.6.22-14 server | 08:35 |
| DPic | just not this problem | 08:35 |
| thor | DPic didn't you say something about telling grub not to write to the mbr the first time? | 08:35 |
| lfs | a nice tutorial for ubunty 7.04 on dell D610 laptops is located at: http://diskdump.googlepages.com/fiestyond610 | 08:35 |
| DPic | yeah | 08:35 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, one other simple thing to try would be to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 08:36 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: if when you restart X, it should fail to start, then you should go to recovery console and invoke the command | 08:36 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: cp /etc/X11/nameoftheback /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:36 |
| thor | DPic...I think that is what is causing the problem. I think the error is misleading...it isn't saying the drive partition is the wrong size...it is saying something isn't right here in the dir space | 08:36 |
| scguy318 | Hanyou: then reboot and start normally | 08:36 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: then reboot I guess? | 08:36 |
| ArthurArchnix | DPic: I'm looking at your link for background. But to help you I (we) need to know what you WANT to do, what you've TRIED to do, and what's HAPPENED so far. Also, to save time, tell us about your setup (OS's, on Hardrives, with Paritions, and cool customizations, with INTstructions.) | 08:37 |
| DPic | but it specifically says that the filesystem is the wrong size "for windows to like it" | 08:37 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, simplest option yes. | 08:37 |
| Hanyou | Ok I will try that | 08:37 |
| ramvi | I have a problem compiling the kernel. Please help me: http://pastebin.com/d11f9af5b | 08:37 |

| ArthurArchnix | DPic: For example "The installation on the 40 GB drive got messed up and we got a new hard drive so there is now an installation on the larger drive as well but there were still some things that hadn't been moved from the old drive" doesn't tell me much. What are you currently usng this drive for? | 08:38 |
| acxoinsddfhen | thor: where can I find more info on internet connection settings in linux?? | 08:38 |
| ArthurArchnix | DPic: Good idea. post a clarification there, you can edit your original post. | 08:38 |
| DPic | the old drive still had windows on it and files that hadn't been moved to the new drive | 08:39 |
| DPic | alright yeah, i'll edit the forum post and let you know when i'm done | 08:39 |

| RatThing | mikebeecham, press: ctrl+alt+backspace, login again and try again. | 08:47 |
| clau85 | anyone an idea pls? dunno what to do next | 08:47 |

| mikebeecham | ok RatThing...will login again...sec | 08:48 |
| lfs | slavi1, also , you have to make changes to the php.ini file | 08:48 |

| mikebeecham | RatThing....it did not work mate...when I go into nvidia-settings, I can open up two monitors and set the parameters for them. However, i cannot apply them as it is talking about metamodes, etc | 08:51 |
| mikebeecham | so I am stuck in 800 x 600 on one monitor? | 08:51 |
| DPic | well, you asked me what i want with my drives...now what? | 08:52 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, that is a step closer at least. :-) | 08:52 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: yes | 08:52 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, are both monitors on the same graphics card or do you have two graphics cards? | 08:52 |
| mikebeecham | at least my graphics are not corrupted now | 08:52 |
| Hanyou | I forgot what the test line was. | 08:52 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: the same card - nVidia geForce 7600GT | 08:53 |
| slavi1 | it is on | 08:53 |
| mikebeecham | and it's been working fine for about a week now since new linux install | 08:53 |
| slavi1 | lfs: could it be related to mysql? (php code by itself works) | 08:53 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, nice card. Can you confirm that you are running nvidia-settings as sudo so: sudo nvidia-settings | 08:53 |
| lfs | slavi1, oh yes maybe | 08:53 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: thanks...I am running it right now | 08:54 |
| slavi1 | lfs: I had a similar problem on another server where the memory would dissappear | 08:54 |
| slavi1 | is this something related to mysql? | 08:54 |
| ArthurArchnix | DPic: Oh man. That's your idea of making things more clear? Hehe. No worries. We'll get it solved. That's the royal we... meaning you and maybe me, but defintiatley somebody. | 08:54 |
| mikebeecham | the reason I have just found out that I was stuck on 800 x 600 is that I was editing the wrong screen...I am now in 1280 x 1024...but I still cant produce twinview, as it is talking about failed metamodes | 08:54 |

| ArthurArchnix | DPic: What you're desired outcome is important in terms of what kind of solutoins I (or others) provide, | 08:57 |
| DPic | because i wasn't able to partition the 120GB drive for some reason. plus, we're going to get rid of windows on the 40 GB drive once we've moved out all the files we need from there, at which point i can let ubuntu have the whole drive | 08:57 |

| DPic | ArthurArchnix no i don't see anything at all. the first and only thing that appears is that there is no OS. should i try hitting keys that might get me into the BIOS anyways? | 09:02 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: I have only been using linux a week...could youplease post the entire command | 09:02 |
| ArthurArchnix | thor: Which would not affec the bios. | 09:02 |
| mikebeecham | I am not familiar with Linux commands | 09:02 |
| thor | ArthurArchnix not a bios problem...it is giving him an error about reading the drive | 09:03 |
| Man | someone can help me!? | 09:03 |
| thor | ArthurArchnix the whole thing was working til he tried to install linux | 09:03 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/ | 09:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | DPic: Maybe. It depends. Are you able to boot a live ubuntu cd. | 09:03 |
| Man | SOMEONE!? | 09:03 |
| slavi1 | as if something keeps leaking memory or something | 09:03 |
| Man | please? | 09:03 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, that does not work? | 09:03 |
| DPic | ArthurArchnix yes | 09:03 |
| Man | Dpic? | 09:03 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: it does now yes...typo on my part | 09:03 |
| DPic | Man Yes | 09:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | thor: I'm trying to understand the problem. If there's relevant info please paste. | 09:04 |
| lfs | slavi1, very strange | 09:04 |
| Man | you know about tv configure? | 09:04 |
| lfs | slavi1, why dont you restart the apache 7 mysql servers | 09:04 |
| DPic | Man, sorry but no. I'm actually in here getting help myself. | 09:04 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, you need to open that file with an editor. | 09:04 |
| Man | .......... | 09:04 |
| FabioG | ciao a tutti | 09:05 |
| DPic | Man, have you tried the wiki? i can usually find any general information i need there | 09:05 |
| slavi1 | lfs: tried ... didn't work | 09:05 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham it is in your home directory. a file called: xorg.conf | 09:05 |
| Man | what wiki? | 09:05 |
| lfs | slavi1, did u restart the system? | 09:05 |
| mikebeecham | i typed sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:05 |
| mikebeecham | that worked I think!!! | 09:05 |
| DPic | Man, wiki.ubuntu.com | 09:05 |
| slavi1 | restarting | 09:05 |
| slavi1 | well, still nothing about my home system | 09:06 |
| mikebeecham | so what now RatThing? | 09:06 |
| Man | i don't thinks it's will help beacuse but anyway... | 09:06 |
| slavi1 | 2 systems with same issues ... | 09:06 |
| ArthurArchnix | DPic: So.. just so we're clear... you had two windows drives, which were working fine, then you tossed in an ubuntu 7,1 (gutsy) cd and installed. And ever since then you haven't been able to boot any os, except the live cd. Is that right? | 09:06 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: I have the xorg.conf open | 09:06 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, almost but instead of opening the one in /etc/... open the one in your home directory so: sudo gedit ~/xorg.conf | 09:06 |
| lfs | slavi1, it cant possibly leak that much of memory! | 09:06 |
| slavi1 | lfs: something is doing it | 09:06 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, we made a copy so we don't break the active one :-) | 09:07 |
| slavi1 | 8GB gone :( (according to top) | 09:07 |
| DPic | yes. i believe that me telling grub to install somewhere other than the mbr is the reason for that | 09:07 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: cool...that copy is now open...would you like me to pastebin the contents for you? | 09:07 |
| neur1 | is there an applet or icon that goes with wifi radar | 09:07 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, good idea. | 09:07 |
| lfs | slavi1, can u connect to mysql using the mysql command line client? | 09:07 |
| Man | IVTV can help me? i have pvr driver | 09:08 |
| slavi1 | yes | 09:08 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46537/ | 09:08 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, for someone who has only been at this for a week you seem pretty competent. | 09:08 |
| Man | slavli, you talk to me? | 09:08 |
| DPic | ArthurArchnix, is the GRUB/mbr and file system problem two separate issues? | 09:08 |
| * RatThing opens up browser... | 09:08 | |
| ArthurArchnix | DPic: Don't worry about it. It's the fact that you have two hard-drives and windows installed. Grub hasn't come close to mastering this yet. Let's go back to basics though, because at this point you may need to ask yourself if you've backed up your data. (press middle finger to skip this step). | 09:08 |
| lfs | slavil then the mysql server is fine, apache is fine and php is fine .. then it seems more of a config problem | 09:09 |
| * RatThing is looking at the xorg file... | 09:09 | |
| scguy318 | ArthurArchnix: dual-booting that isn't a problem... | 09:09 |
| DPic | ArthurArchnix, ....no. the data hasn't been backed up. and there's really important stuff in there. damn. | 09:09 |
| scguy318 | ArthurArchnix: *with GRUB | 09:09 |
| slavi1 | http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum23/4454.htm | 09:09 |
| scguy318 | ArthurArchnix: just add another entry for the second HDD, its not an insurmountable problem | 09:09 |
| adamonline45 | I FINALLY got my Atheros wifi driver installed smoothly using ndiswrapper, could anyone please tell me how to add my card/interface to whatever it needs to get added to, so I can start using it? Thanks 8) | 09:09 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, can we do a private chat now, I'll /msg you ? | 09:10 |
| scguy318 | adamonline45: you need to modprobe ndiswrapper and add a line in /etc/modules | 09:10 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: `thanks for the kind comment, and yes that would be good | 09:10 |

| ArthurArchnix | DPic: It looks like scguy318 has the answers. I'll keep thinkikng about this in case you two can't solve it. | 09:10 |
| scguy318 | adamonline45: no, if you dont see it now just reboot | 09:11 |
| scguy318 | DPic: what's your question? | 09:11 |
| DPic | ArthurArchnix, no he's just saying that the problem isn't that grub can't deal with more than one windows install | 09:11 |
| DPic | scguy318, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3876791 read my posts to understand what has happened | 09:12 |
| adamonline45 | scguy318: Doing it now, thank you! I thought you never had to reboot linux? ;) | 09:12 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, did I make contact :-) | 09:12 |
| ArthurArchnix | DPic: Work as many different avenues as you can. If scguy318 thinks he has a solution you shoud consider it. | 09:12 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: you did...did you not see my response? | 09:12 |
| RatThing | mikebeecham, no :-( | 09:13 |
| DPic | ArthurArchnix alright. Thanks for your help thus far | 09:13 |
| mikebeecham | :( | 09:13 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: do you have MSN or anything like that? | 09:13 |
| scguy318 | DPic: burn yourself Super GRUB CD | 09:13 |
| scguy318 | DPic: fix the MBR | 09:13 |
| scguy318 | DPic: voila done | 09:13 |
| mikebeecham | if you type in your details in the private chat, I can see what you type | 09:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | DPic: What I'm suggesting means writing off your existing data... you should explore other options before continuing down this path. | 09:13 |
| nalioth | adamonline45: you should not have to reboot linux at all. using non Ubuntu packages and other practices can reduce the stability at times | 09:13 |
| nalioth | !tell mikebeecham about register | 09:14 |
| adamonline45 | nalioth: Good point 8) | 09:14 |
| scguy318 | !register | mikebeecham | 09:14 |

| Mr | I'm getting no results from tracker in the deskbar, can someone help me fix that please? | 09:15 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: I have them all :D | 09:15 |
| DPic | scguy318, that the filesystem is a different size than windows thinks it is | 09:15 |
| mikebeecham | RatThing: go ICQ | 09:15 |

| ubotu | Lore2: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 09:22 |

| bsh | insmod: ??? i'm a noob :) | 09:46 |
| btl | i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and i can't play any of my dvd movies... does anyone have a tutorial or something to get that working? | 09:46 |
| Jordan_U | bsh, Can you try booting without the "splash" or "quiet" parameters in GRUB ( I know recovery mode gets rid of splash, not sure about quiet ) and give us any output that seems relevent? | 09:46 |
| scguy318 | XBehave: if its a desktop you could set a jumper to clear CMOS or you could try to get in with a default password | 09:46 |
| Lore2 | still no luck with that dvd playback | 09:46 |
| scguy318 | XBehave: or you could use a GRUB floppy or something | 09:46 |
| MohammadBoozary | Jordan_U: http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews54531.html | 09:46 |
| travkin | btl, http://ubuntuforums.org/ -> use search | 09:47 |
| btl | travkin: thanks :) | 09:47 |
| tantris | any idea where the gnome-build package is? | 09:47 |
| insmod | MohammadBoozary> i know what you need | 09:47 |
| dublpaws | bsh can you access the filesysten? | 09:47 |
| Lore2 | all restricted repositories installed, libdvdcss2 installed, libdvdread3 installed, w32codecs installed, Open DVD ---> Device Error: Device Source is Encrypted or in an Unknown Format. | 09:48 |
| bsh | sure everything is fine | 09:48 |
| bsh | i can access everything | 09:48 |
| XBehave | its a laptop and it doesnt have a floppy drive, not that it would help as i locked down the boot order hence the password :( take it theres no easy way to do it then | 09:48 |
| Jordan_U | Lore2, What application are you using? | 09:48 |
| dublpaws | /var/log/messages might have some goodies | 09:48 |
| dublpaws | ^bsh | 09:48 |
| Lore2 | Xine with Totem Frontend | 09:48 |
| scguy318 | XBehave: you could find a list of default passes to get in | 09:48 |
| insmod | <Lore2> try another dvd | 09:48 |

| scguy318 | XBehave: that link might be helpful on alternatives | 09:49 |
| dingdangdong | insmod: so what does MohammadBoozarya need? :D | 09:49 |
| Lore2 | DVD 2/2 Same Thing | 09:49 |
| Pitel | damn, is it normal that framereate of glxgears is heavily infuelnced by CPU usage by other programs? (it goes between 6000 and 10 fps on GeForce 7600) | 09:50 |
| scguy318 | Pitel: yes, glxgears doesn't utilize DRI or that fun stuff | 09:50 |
| scguy318 | Pitel: therefore it's a crappy benchmark | 09:50 |
| Lore2 | and DVD 3 works. | 09:50 |
| insmod | <dingdangdong>why does he not ask me | 09:50 |
| g-e | hi! when i hit CTRL+SHIFT+T and a new tab opens in my terminal, i would like bash to start in the same folder as the other bash i was using. is that possible? | 09:50 |
| Pitel | scguy318: hmm, and what is good benchmark then? because even doom3 does it. | 09:51 |
| Jordan_U | XBehave, Many ( possibly eve most unfortunately ) BIOS's have default passwords because companies know that users will forget their passwords ;) | 09:51 |
| scguy318 | Pitel: http://lbs.sourceforge.net/ has a nice list | 09:52 |
| Pitel | or maybe I am doing something wrong | 09:52 |
| MohammadBoozary | dingdangdong: :D | 09:52 |
| dingdangdong | MohammadBoozary: would u mind asking him? :D | 09:52 |
| scguy318 | Pitel: glxgears is not a good benchmark since it doesn't use DRI, it only uses a teeny subset of OpenGL, and actual 3D would be different | 09:52 |
| scguy318 | Pitel: *direct 3D rendering | 09:52 |

| Jordan_U | scguy318, In what way does it "not use DRI", I know it doesn't use it to it's full potential but it does use OpenGL, and should use DRI? Or am I missing something? | 09:56 |
| scguy318 | Lore2: try playing on VLC, and any messages that you can show us to explain why? | 09:56 |
| scguy318 | Jordan_U: it uses indirect Mesa rendering I believe | 09:56 |

| scguy318 | Lore2: thats strange, try VLC | 09:59 |
| adamonline45 | Jordan_U: Recent trauma regarding mass time and ndiswrapper | 09:59 |
| Jordan_U | crzedmonk, Try running "nohup metacit --replace" in a terminal | 09:59 |
| adamonline45 | scguy318: I think so. It's a macbook. | 10:00 |
| Jordan_U | crzedmonk, Make that "nohup metacity --replace" ( forgot the 'y' ) | 10:00 |
| scguy318 | adamonline45: im sorry but gtg night | 10:00 |
| adamonline45 | scguy318: Np, gnight | 10:00 |
| scguy318 | adamonline45: easy way out would be to install 32-bit Ubuntu but too much work night | 10:00 |
| Jordan_U | adamonline45, Have you looked at the macbook page on the Ubuntu wiki? | 10:01 |
| adamonline45 | ack, I just reinstalled with 64-bit 8) | 10:01 |
| meezfoghi | why when i want to add samba user...i get error --Failed to modify password entry for user kerbau | 10:01 |
| crzedmonk | that worked thanks | 10:01 |
| * insmod sick http://2girls1cup.com/ | 10:01 | |
| crzedmonk | what was that | 10:01 |
| Jordan_U | crzedmonk, It started metacity ( gnome's default window manager ), the problem you most likely had was that compiz crashed | 10:02 |
| adamonline45 | Jordan_U: Yeah, it said I could use the amd64 install, but didn't disclaim that there's no winXP x64 driver available for use with ndiswrapper | 10:02 |
| crzedmonk | awesome | 10:02 |
| crzedmonk | thank you | 10:02 |
| Jordan_U | crzedmonk, The "nohup" part at the beggining was just so that metacity wouldn't quit when you closed the terminal window | 10:02 |
| crzedmonk | I am very new to this linux thing | 10:02 |
| popdog123 | hello! i have a problem setting up my leadtek winfast tv2000 xp global card... the card is not recognized and i get this from dmesg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46542/ i tried recompiling my kernel before but i just ended up screwing up my computer anyone??? | 10:03 |
| crzedmonk | but it is better than windows | 10:03 |
| Jordan_U | crzedmonk, np, If you have problems like this again you might want to turn off desktop effects in System -> Preferences -> Appearance | 10:03 |
| crzedmonk | it is on normal | 10:04 |
| crzedmonk | turn it off | 10:04 |

| Jordan_U | ? | 10:04 |
| adamonline45 | Jordan_U: Well, I tried ndiswrapper, and couldn't get it working... So I tried madwifi, and it didn't take long to realize I should go back to trying ndiswrapper 8) Soon enough I got it close to working (it loaded all but a missing .ko) and learned I can run 64-bit version. So no, it wasn't working... Is there a gui that works with madwifi that you know of? | 10:07 |

| adamonline45 | Jordan_U: Ahh. That's true, but there was sure a lot of stuff to do to connect to an encrypted wireless network. | 10:10 |
| siccness | adamonline45: don't I know it! | 10:10 |

| siccness | ebtter to google and read up about it yourself | 10:26 |
| Hanyou | mafsi: My main issue wasn't on compiz it was getting my DRI to pass. No matter what I did I ended up with a no result. Do you think this could help my situation? If it helps at all the end result I'm trying to achieve is to play World of Warcraft under Wine. Problem is OpenGL keeps failing and the only thing I haven't shot down yet is the DRI failing. | 10:27 |
| meezfoghi | siccness, when i using ubuntu festy it everyting ok | 10:27 |

| siccness | Access-Accept, Access-Reject, Access-Challenge, it's all too much for big sicc :) | 10:31 |
| * qsheets knows nothing about networking unless you are using a router | 10:31 | |
| meezfoghi | siccness, yeah..it detect | 10:32 |
| siccness | Yeah, I built a router/access-point, it's just using RADIUS on another box for authentication (EAP) | 10:32 |
| siccness | meezfoghi: vmware-server? | 10:32 |
| meezfoghi | siccness, yeah.. | 10:32 |
| siccness | version? | 10:33 |
| rohan12121 | hi there ppl | 10:33 |
| rohan12121 | i have a curious question if you wouldn't mind? | 10:33 |
| siccness | im not really into curious questions | 10:33 |
| rohan12121 | haha | 10:34 |
| rohan12121 | well its quite simple | 10:34 |
| generic | what's the command (i think ctrl + something) where if i run something in the terminal but want to detach it from the terminal? | 10:34 |
| Cherubael | !partition | 10:34 |
| ubotu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter | 10:34 |
| siccness | oh a simple, yet curious question? i'm curious. | 10:34 |
| rohan12121 | ok ok | 10:34 |
| msikma | !wireless | 10:34 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:34 |
| rohan12121 | i have a personal/storage partition i want to make my /home/user partition | 10:34 |
| rohan12121 | only thing is | 10:34 |
| rohan12121 | in terms of shortcuts | 10:34 |
| rohan12121 | it seems atm my home/user directory | 10:35 |
| rohan12121 | had a documents/video/music etc directory | 10:35 |
| rohan12121 | has sorry* | 10:35 |
| rohan12121 | do i need to retain this sort of directory structure | 10:35 |
| siccness | no | 10:35 |
| jimmy_ | hiii can someone help me | 10:35 |
| rohan12121 | or can i use the existing one on my storage/personal partition | 10:35 |
| siccness | I think that directory structure is simply there to make it look friendly | 10:36 |
| rohan12121 | ok | 10:36 |
| siccness | I think it looks crap, personally. | 10:36 |
| jimmy_ | i want to use xmms on ubuntu...but i dont know how on it | 10:36 |
| rohan12121 | so it wnt fuck up ubuntu if i dont replicate the folders on the storage/personal partition | 10:36 |
| siccness | who has capitals on their directories? unacceptable. | 10:36 |
| siccness | rohan12121: no language. | 10:36 |
| rohan12121 | haha | 10:36 |
| rohan12121 | sorry bout language | 10:36 |
| siccness | rohan12121: the only thing you need to be worried about is if the storage/personl partiition youre using has conf files | 10:37 |
| generic | is there anyway to change the directory system? like if i want my music folder to be in another folder? | 10:37 |
| adnarim | hi | 10:37 |
| siccness | in whcih newer software breaks the old configs | 10:37 |
| generic | especially on another partition | 10:37 |
| siccness | it wotn be too much of an issue i cant imagine | 10:37 |
| Cherubael | Could someone help me sort out my GRUB boot list? I can't figure out which partition ID my windows installation is on | 10:37 |
| rohan12121 | well its a fresh install | 10:37 |
| siccness | but for certain piees of software, you never know. | 10:37 |
| rohan12121 | so the existing home/user has nothing on it im assuming | 10:37 |
| rohan12121 | cos i haven't put anything there | 10:37 |
| rohan12121 | im happy toc opy what ever is in there | 10:37 |
| kitofhawaii | i use capitals in directories, otherwiseyouwindupwithunlegiblepaths | 10:38 |
| rohan12121 | but i dont want to necessarily have to use the videos/documents/pictures directories if i dont have to | 10:38 |
| siccness | kitofhawaii: rubbish | 10:38 |
| siccness | this_is_a_directory | 10:38 |
| siccness | looks fine, works with everything, it's clean, simple and sexy. | 10:38 |
| msikma | Say, 802.11 wireless should work out of the box, right? | 10:38 |
| adnarim | I have a really really wired problem. Does anyone know how the displaymanager influences the graphic-driver? With gdm I have fglrx, with xdm or slim just mesa, if I switch back to gdm I have flgrx again? What has the displaymanager with the drivers to do? | 10:38 |
| siccness | msikma: dependant on a few things buddy | 10:38 |
| msikma | I could have sworn that it worked before on this very computer, but now suddenly it does not seem to. | 10:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | msikma: lot of variables in that, 802.11 is the wireless standard, wether your device works or not is the issue. | 10:38 |
| msikma | hm | 10:39 |
| rohan12121 | is there a way to perhaps change the shortcuts on the 'places' shortcut to my existing folders on my personal/storage partition? | 10:39 |
| msikma | Device is recognized, no driver loaded, but I'm certain it has worked before... so I guess I'll do some searching | 10:39 |
| siccness | msikma: this personal storage thing of yours, is it an old /home/ part? | 10:39 |
| msikma | It's an Atheros wireless card found in recent MacBooks. | 10:39 |
| rohan12121 | well no | 10:39 |
| rohan12121 | its from windows | 10:40 |
| rohan12121 | its just a fat32 partition | 10:40 |
| rohan12121 | i use to store all my stuff | 10:40 |
| rohan12121 | outside of operating system partitions | 10:40 |
| siccness | rohan12121: you cant replace /home with that | 10:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | msikma: i think the atheros cards work, but not 100% sure, i sit at a desk | 10:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | !wireless | msikma | 10:40 |
| ubotu | msikma: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:40 |
| kitofhawaii | siccness: typing an underscore takes just as much effort as shift-letter | 10:40 |
| siccness | msikma: wont work out of the box | 10:40 |
| compwiz18 | I've just installed the ATI 7.11 drivers on my laptop, and after I rebooted, the external monitor I have connected via VGA out changed to 1024x768 from 1680x1050 with no change in xorg.conf... any idea on now to fix? Using Gutsy, x86-64. | 10:40 |
| msikma | IndyGunFreak: strange thing is that I distinctively remember using it with my wireless network. I installed something that I found on the MacBook Ubuntu page. | 10:40 |
| msikma | I actually have the MAC address of this computer in my router | 10:41 |
| siccness | if its a macbook produced after oct 2007 it wont work | 10:41 |
| rohan12121 | c i dont want to replicate home with the fat32 partition | 10:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | msikma: ndiswrapper? | 10:41 |
| rohan12121 | i just want to replicate home/user | 10:41 |
| rohan12121 | so i have my 'user' directory pointing to an existing place i used to use in windows | 10:41 |
| rohan12121 | and still could possibly use in windows without | 10:41 |
| siccness | rohan12121: be easier to remove those crappy dirs Videos Music etc.. | 10:41 |
| rohan12121 | having to worry about intercompatibility and wall the rest | 10:41 |
| rohan12121 | all the rest* | 10:41 |
| siccness | mount your fat32 part under /home/user/storage | 10:41 |
| siccness | and access from there | 10:41 |
| ubuntufreak | Is there multipayer games like Counter Strike for Ubuntu? | 10:42 |
| generic | yes, eg, CS | 10:42 |
| rohan12121 | so its not safe to mount it under /home/user? | 10:42 |
| siccness | it is | 10:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntufreak: there's tremulous, but its not really like counterstrike. | 10:42 |
| petr4 | !hibernate | 10:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | but ti is multiplayer | 10:42 |
| siccness | but mount it at /home/user/storage | 10:42 |
| petr4 | !suspend | 10:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:42 |
| siccness | you cant mount it at /home/user | 10:43 |
| rohan12121 | just to avoid messing up the configs | 10:43 |
| ubuntufreak | IndyGunFreak: thanks | 10:43 |
| siccness | everthing will break | 10:43 |
| petr4 | !sleep | 10:43 |
| rohan12121 | ok | 10:43 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sleep - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:43 |
| Cherubael | How do I add my bootable NTFS partition to menu.lst? I've got Gparted open and tried adding the entry, but on boot GRUB says "Partition is not bootable" | 10:43 |

| rohan12121 | can i edit the shortcuts in 'places' to the home/user/storage relevant directories? | 10:43 |
| siccness | rohan12121: not so much a curious question now, more of an actual question :) | 10:43 |
| rohan12121 | hahaha thanks for your help man | 10:43 |
| DPic13 | I need to add two drives to the grub menu | 10:44 |
| rohan12121 | or woman | 10:44 |

| siccness | is places that stupid thing under gnome? | 10:44 |
| rohan12121 | yeah | 10:44 |
| mafsi | compwiz18: install the latest driver , then reboot | 10:44 |
| rohan12121 | its like the equivalent of 'my document's and all the rest in windows! | 10:44 |
| siccness | rohan12121: dunno to be honest, gnome is the devil. :) | 10:44 |
| === compwiz18_ is now known as compwiz | ||

| petr4 | hello. I have troubles with suspending to disk. Can you provide me with some link to troubleshooting page? | 10:45 |
| ubuntufreak | IndyGunFreak: where can i find the list of games for Ubuntu | 10:45 |
| petr4 | i could not find any | 10:45 |
| msikma | is it possible that the proprietary kernel extensions I added were removed after a kernel update? | 10:45 |
| mafsi | compwiz18: install the latest driver , then reboot | 10:45 |
| clau85 | hi all. my laptop acts strange after upgrade to gutsy. it's about the video driver, ati x300. with the "ati" driver, it doesn't display right and X resets from time to time. I installed fglrx but after logging it, I get only a blank screen (the wallpaper)... fglrxinfo says segmentation fault, as many others (glxgears...) | 10:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntufreak: not really sure. | 10:45 |
| clau85 | anyone an idea pls? dunno what to do next | 10:45 |

| rohan12121 | i will mount my fat32 to home/user/storage/ now!! | 10:46 |
| === basix_ is now known as basi | ||
| compwiz18 | mafsi: sorry if that wasn't clear :) | 10:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | who was trying to figure out how to edit the places menu? | 10:47 |
| siccness | rohan12121: doesnt have to be "storage" | 10:47 |
| siccness | IndyGunFreak: rohan12121 | 10:47 |
| Hanyou | clau85: I have been having problems with ATI drivers all night this page may help you http://forlong.blogage.de/article/add_comment/796 | 10:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | rohan12121: u still here? | 10:47 |
| rohan12121 | yea | 10:47 |
| rohan12121 | i know it doesn't have to b | 10:47 |
| rohan12121 | but thats probably what i'll make it anyhow!! | 10:47 |
| compwiz18 | Hanyou: I'm having problems too, what is your problem? | 10:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | rohan12121: i can't really find a way to do it,.. what *I* would do, is right click the panel, Add to panel, Add a "Drawer" then add shortcuts to the folders you want, int he drawer. | 10:48 |
| === basix_ is now known as basix | ||
| clau85 | Hanyou: thanks, I'll have a look | 10:48 |
| Hanyou | Can't get DRI to work and when I turn on ATI drivers nothing works | 10:48 |
| compwiz18 | Hanyou: what version of the drivers? | 10:48 |
| rohan12121 | sweet | 10:48 |
| Hanyou | My issue started when I wanted to run WoW on wine. | 10:48 |
| rohan12121 | create my own places so to speak! | 10:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | rohan12121: sorta | 10:49 |
| Hanyou | No idea. I'm trying a couple of different things before I go back to pounding at the drivers some more | 10:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | rohan12121: just add the drawer panel applet, then drag the folder you want to have a shortcut into there, | 10:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | then when you need to get to it, click the drawer, and it will drop down, and choose the folder you want. | 10:49 |
| Cherubael | How do I identify which partition ID I need to add so I can choose to boot from it from GRUB? | 10:50 |
| msikma_ | Wooh, wireless works again | 10:50 |
| Hanyou | compwiz18: Right now I'm using fglrx though just so everything works. | 10:50 |
| siccness | msikma_: what did you do? | 10:51 |
| compwiz18 | Cherubael: I think the first one is 0 , second is 2, etc from the start of the disk | 10:51 |
| msikma_ | For some reason, the madwifi driver I had installed had ceased to exist | 10:51 |
| compwiz18 | Cherubael: sorry, second is 1, etc | 10:51 |
| msikma_ | I grabbed the latest snapshot, compiled it and installed it, then inserted it into the kernel | 10:51 |
| msikma_ | As per the Macbook instruction wiki | 10:51 |
| Cherubael | I've tried that, 2 isn't right even though GParted shows it as the 3rd partition | 10:51 |
| siccness | msikma_: link? | 10:51 |
| msikma_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook | 10:51 |
| siccness | danke | 10:51 |
| msikma_ | Blindly followed instructions, works perfectly | 10:51 |
| clau85 | Hanyou: I installed the driver the same way, and X hangs right after login. With the driver in the repos, I only had a blank screen | 10:51 |
| ompaul | Cherubael, hd0 is ide0 and so forth, the number after the comma is the partition and the disks start at 0 | 10:52 |
| msikma_ | But still, it's strange that it would stop working like that. I guess I broke something at some point | 10:52 |
| rohan12121 | IndyGunFreak: c the whole idea was to have common places, that the os would recognise as default!! sorta like how windows identifies my documents and all the rest as the default location for documents and the like | 10:52 |
| === msikma_ is now known as msikma | ||
| compwiz18 | is there a way to change X's resolution while in Gnome? | 10:52 |
| Hanyou | clau85: I'm about to give up on using ATI on Ubuntu and go get a Nvidia based laptop. Don't hear to many of those people complaining. | 10:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | rohan12121: yeah, i see what you wanted, but i don't see how to make that happen, w/o actually using the folders assigned. | 10:53 |
| rohan12121 | yeah thats the same problem with windows!! | 10:53 |
| msikma | Well, thanks for your help, time to get back to being productive | 10:53 |
| ompaul | compwiz18, system preferences screen resolution | 10:53 |
| Cherubael | ompaul: I've checked all that, it all looks right. I've got /swap, /home, and then NTFS partition on hda, but hd0,2 doens't work | 10:53 |
| clau85 | in feisty I didn't have this problems... maybe smtg went wrong during upgrade | 10:53 |
| compwiz18 | ompaul: it doesn't list the resolution I'd like to switch too | 10:53 |
| rohan12121 | i wish the developer guys would consider this sort of scenario | 10:53 |
| LovNPeace | When somebody IP attacks your computer with ssh password cracking, what is beter (1) attack them back , or (2) block their IP in the firewall, or (3) both ? | 10:54 |

| ompaul | !grub > Cherubael (so you need to check out the url from the bot there will be another one about NTFS in a moment) | 10:54 |
| rohan12121 | i reckon itd b fairly common for experienced users ! | 10:54 |
| rohan12121 | compwiz18: sysmlinks? | 10:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | rohan12121: i'm sure there's a way to do it, i'm jus tnot sure how. | 10:54 |
| rohan12121 | IndyGunFreak: yeah i reckon ur right | 10:54 |
| meezfoghi | my usb not detect on vmware | 10:55 |
| rohan12121 | anyways thanks a lot guys~! | 10:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | rohan12121: you can *try* going through gconf-editor, and see if there's a way to modify the target of those folders, but that could take you a while... open a terminal and type gconf-editor | 10:57 |
| ompaul | rohan12121, a clue is organise your data to suit both o/s's and just mount the directory from both expecting one to live with the others vagueness is just nuts - and most devs I know live in a single o/s world | 10:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | ompaul: true | 10:57 |

| Cherubael | Can anyone copy their entry in menu.lst for booting to WinXP from GRUB into private please? Want to check syntax | 10:58 |

| siccness | Linux doesn't blue-screen me, trust me, it can have nothing on it and it'll be nicer than *cough* | 11:03 |

| compwiz18 | rohan12121: did it work? | 11:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | rohan12121: did you figure it out?.. cuz i've wondered this before to. | 11:08 |
| rohan12121 | compwiz18: yes!!! | 11:08 |
| compwiz18 | cool :D | 11:08 |
| rohan12121 | IndyGunFreak: change ur nautilus bookmarks to point to wherever u want them to! | 11:08 |
| rohan12121 | ahhhh!!! this has made my day | 11:08 |
| Bollinger | I've changed my hostname and domain name using the gui admin tool. Rebooted. Now when I run hostname -f I get hostname: Unknow host when I expected the domain name? what have I missed? | 11:08 |
| sui | hello | 11:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | rohan12121: lmao, that was simple. | 11:08 |
| rohan12121 | u know forever i have wanted to do this in windows and never figured out why they never implimented some way of addressiing this!! | 11:08 |
| compwiz18 | rohan12121: I think if you use regedit you can do it (i've done it, actually) | 11:09 |
| rohan12121 | yeah well ya know somtimes it's staring right at your face- besides i didn't even know what nautilus was till 5min ago!!! | 11:09 |
| tharis20 | ompaul, for example, to not have use my proxy, but, one of these http://www.samair.ru/proxy/ | 11:09 |
| zimon | poppyer, can you ping any server? say .. www.ubuntulinux.org? | 11:09 |
| rohan12121 | yeah well i mean in a less potentially 'system-damaging' way | 11:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | rohan12121: well, i knew what nautilus was, and it didn't dawn on me to check nautilus bookmarks. | 11:10 |
| ompaul | poppyer, it is the same as using a web browser - if it says 404 it means the file / place you are pointing at is not there use this: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic | 11:10 |
| poppyer | zimon: sure, i can ping. not only what. I can wget http:/xxxxxx/Package.gz | 11:10 |
| poppyer | no, ompaul, the browser is ok, the wget is okay, only the apt-get fail. | 11:10 |
| tharis20 | ompaul, i win, there are proxy-switchers, how can I switch in ubuntu? | 11:11 |
| compwiz18 | IndyGunFreak: the only reason I though about it was because in my Places menu they are in a submenu called bookmarks cause I have too many :) | 11:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | compwiz18: lol, well, i guess that would help | 11:12 |
| ompaul | tharis20, in a web browser? then you want to know that (A) you trust the admins of that proxy and (B) from the menu -- edit / preferences / advanced / network settings | 11:12 |
| ompaul | poppyer, do sudo apt-get update | 11:12 |
| bpazolli | Ok I typed sudo apt-get update and it works then tried sudo apt-get install cupsys says it is not fully installed and I get the following error statement | 11:12 |

| ompaul | !sound | s_ | 11:15 |
| ubotu | s_: 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).

| axz | any idea whats the problem? | 11:16 |

| IndyGunFreak | s_: do you know what your sound device is? | 11:16 |
| s_ | i dont know i have a toshiba satelite l30 | 11:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | s_: open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, and see how its identifying your sound device | 11:17 |
| sainry | s_: Run lspci | grep sound | 11:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | either one, will show the same thing | 11:17 |

| batataxpto69 | someone can help me? | 11:33 |
| ompaul | poppyer, join my club - I can see it is broken which is why I wanted you to start a live cd to try apt-get update on it - just to prove that it is not a network issue, I know you can get to the site (even I can do that) but it looks like the binary apt-get is doing something wrong - you could I suppose go around that site with firefox looking for apt-get and reinstall it (dpkg -i apt-get) | 11:33 |
| ompaul | poppyer, there is one other thing you could consider - dpkg-reconfigure apt-get | 11:34 |
| wraund | where can i get shockwave from? | 11:34 |

| ompaul | poppyer, then that begs the question is there some networking issue with it | 11:36 |
| ompaul | poppyer, is there a proxy server that wget is using and the apt-get is not | 11:36 |
| s_ | help | 11:37 |

| Sorcererbob1 | IndyGunFreak: I've never had any experience doing software raid on master drives - but i think slaves will be different, because I can implement it AFTER the OS is stable | 11:40 |
| Sorcererbob1 | had any luck * | 11:40 |
| Sorcererbob1 | sorry, that didn't make sense | 11:40 |
| chronographer | anyone changed a flac file to mp3 lately? | 11:40 |

| s_ | so there isnt any solution or what | 11:44 |
| Sorcererbob1 | s_ its because some of the chips are built into each other - I'm fairly sure the modem and audio card are on the same chip thing, and I know in windows you have to install the drivers in a particular order to make it work... can't help beyond that though | 11:44 |

| NET||abuse | XBehave, not as fast as under native windows though | 12:30 |
| pr0nGuy | NET||abuse: What's that? I have no clue how to use these things. | 12:30 |
| h1st0 | XBehave: counter strike runs just as fast as windows | 12:30 |
| TomPurnell | XBehave: ~80 to 95% of windows speed generally | 12:30 |
| h1st0 | XBehave: wine is not an emulator | 12:30 |
| h1st0 | TomPurnell: NET||abuse I get faster speeds with steam in linux than windows. | 12:31 |
| TomPurnell | h1st0: your windows is misconfigured then :p | 12:31 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, you just hold in the upper part of the toggle on the ipod while it's powering up, then it boots into drive mode | 12:31 |
| h1st0 | TomPurnell: no the framerates are better in nix for several of my friends as well. | 12:31 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, so do that before you plugin | 12:32 |
| XBehave | but yeah can u use any of the vmware to install windows onto a read partition, the CDs i have dont seam to install through booting to them | 12:32 |
| h1st0 | sensiva: double click it. | 12:32 |
| TomPurnell | sensiva: depending on your version of firefox, try clicking the 'page' icon (or favicon) to the left of the address bar instead of clicking in the actual address bar | 12:32 |
| TomPurnell | sensiva: personally I just press alt+d | 12:32 |
| stdin | Cherubael: maybe this will help http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/60947-convincing-grub-dual-boot-winxp-extended-partition.html | 12:32 |
| h1st0 | sensiva: yeap double clicking works | 12:32 |
| h1st0 | TomPurnell: he's just trying to highlight the text | 12:33 |
| NET||abuse | XBehave, you can totally just install to an image file, it will grow up to the max size of image you set, you don't need a whole other partition | 12:33 |

| ethosX | Can anyone help me with this? I get the same error when I apt-get anything http://www.nopaste.com/p/aP3fZSxyw | 12:33 |
| pr0nGuy | NET||abuse: is that the 'Menu' button you're talking about? | 12:33 |
| TomPurnell | h1st0: he wants to highlight the text to type a new url, all three of our suggestions do this. mine do it with less clicks though | 12:33 |
| NET||abuse | XBehave, if youre new to it, try out innotek virtualbox first, it's really easy | 12:33 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, yeh, the menu button:) it's been a while since I messed with an ipod | 12:34 |
| sensiva | I prefere pressing alt-d, double clicks is disturbing, Thank you guys :) | 12:34 |
| pr0nGuy | NET||abuse: I have the iPod mini if that makes a difference | 12:34 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, also, as a point of interest, check out the rockbox project :) | 12:34 |

| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, should be the same for mini's | 12:34 |
| XBehave | thx, was hoping to get a dual boot system not just vmware tho (im on a low spec laptop dont think itll handel vmware well) but may try vm if i cant get an install | 12:34 |
| NET||abuse | So anyone know of an inline spell checker for OOo writer? | 12:35 |
| pr0nGuy | NET||abuse: I'm looking into rockbox, amarok, and rhythmbox | 12:35 |
| dutchie86 | NET||Abuse OOo has a spellchecker by default it just needs dictionary somtimes for that go to the OOo site | 12:35 |
| Cherubael | stdin: Thanks bud, running through the suggestions now :) I was looking at gentoo.org error list! Wrong place altogether :D | 12:35 |
| NET||abuse | XBehave, oh well then, if you want to avoid the vm idea, just dual boot your machine, problem is it's far easier to install linux after windows than vice versa | 12:35 |
| NET||abuse | dutchie86, there's a spellchecker, but whatabout an inline, as you type checker | 12:36 |
| TomPurnell | NET||abuse: inline spell check? red squiggles under misspelled words? my ooo install does this by default in gutsy | 12:36 |
| NET||abuse | dutchie86, i think the technical term is interpreter for that. | 12:36 |
| dutchie86 | NET||abuse check ur settings | 12:36 |
| maschenazi | help please! after enabling ATI restricted driver on ubuntu 7.10 system does not start anymore. | 12:36 |

| NET||abuse | TomPurnell, yup, i thought mine used to, gutsy also, ,, i've gone through the settings can't find it. | 12:36 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, indeed that sounds like the way your supposed to shut it down | 12:37 |
| dutchie86 | NET||Abuse in the old version of OOo there where not dictionaries that the spell checker had to check words against | 12:37 |
| pr0nGuy | NET||abuse: It seems to power on by just pressing the Menu button, right? | 12:37 |
| NET||abuse | maschenazi, ooo, ati fun,, you gotta be careful about what chipset and what driver you use, read up on radeon vs fglrx drivers | 12:37 |
| XBehave | yeah especially as microsoft dont want people to switch to windows (i mean i have a CDkey but no disk and theres no legal way to get a CD without buying it) might end up using vmware/wine | 12:37 |
| TomPurnell | NET||abuse: are you only missing the spell check when opening existing documents, or also with new documents? | 12:38 |
| bamsamba | what application can i use to copy a dvd to an iso image in gnome? | 12:38 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, wait, i think you hold the center and menu button at same time during boot up | 12:38 |
| pr0nGuy | NET||abuse: so I don't how to know whether it's in drive mode. Will it say that it's in drive mode? | 12:38 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, then it should beep as it's starting up. | 12:38 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, yeh it should look different in some way, i don't think the usual ipod interface comes up,, | 12:38 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, sorry, forgot about holding in the center button | 12:38 |
| TomPurnell | pr0nGuy, NET||abuse: he doesnt want it in drive mode does he? he's trying to access the music, not the file storage? | 12:38 |

| nicklas_ | Hi, I got a problem with updating. | 12:39 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, well, it's interesting to know about the drive mode on the ipod, you need it if you want to install rockbox | 12:39 |
| pr0nGuy | NET||abuse: I don't really know what an iPod is capable of so it doesn't matter. | 12:39 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, what type of ipod mini is it do you know? | 12:40 |
| dutchie86 | nicklas_ what is your prob? | 12:40 |
| NET||abuse | pr0nGuy, as i think all mini's are covered by the firmware available on rockbox, but not all the nano's are | 12:40 |

| ompaul | avtt what was? | 12:59 |
| avtt | saying you f* ubuntu | 12:59 |
| steve_b | dutchie86, I need to know which log files I can look at to see where the problem is | 12:59 |
| dutchie86 | steve_b i would suggest run dmesg in the command line after you loose ur connection | 12:59 |
| ompaul | avtt, please don't converse about it - gives them a point for being | 12:59 |

| amidaniel | Seveas: Pardon? What did he do? | 13:04 |
| Cherubael | stdin: Tried some of those changes suggested in the link you posted; It now hangs at "Starting up...". Is this an issue with the windows install as opposed to linux? I take it Grub is passing correctly but the Windows partition isn't booting past that point? | 13:05 |

| chris3141 | ! network printing | 13:05 |

| jxxt | Cherubeal, It looks like the mods can kill the join flood so why bother?? | 13:06 |
| tani | my sound is not working, it is realtek high definition audio. is there a way dpkg way of reconfiguring alsa-mixer? | 13:06 |
| reddeath | Hi All | 13:06 |

| tani | sorry for the repeat | 13:06 |
| Seveas | Hobbsee, yeah, it's just that this seems smaller than the other attacks :) | 13:06 |
| TomPurnell | tani: have you tried asoundconf first? | 13:07 |
| Jakerue | monitor display problems....can't get the ubuntu to displayt my 1680 x 1050 | 13:07 |
| TomPurnell | tani: i also use realtek hda and it's a pain, especially when you have multiple soundcards | 13:07 |
| caytchen | Jakerue: edit your xorg.conf | 13:07 |
| Jakerue | did that | 13:07 |
| caytchen | what's your graphics chip? | 13:07 |
| kane77 | tapas, I'd say dd | 13:07 |
| Jakerue | radeon 9200 | 13:07 |
| tani | TomPurnell: could you please guide how to start debugging it? | 13:08 |
| Cherubael | jxxt: They keep switching hosts; IP addresses change, bans become ineffective... It could be stopped, but can't from where i'm sitting :D I'm just a lowly luser... | 13:08 |
| kane77 | tapas, even cp -a might do the trick... | 13:08 |
| Amaranth | Cherubael: How would you stop it? | 13:08 |
| friedchicken03 | can anyone tell me how to start up gparted on Gusty Live in terminal? | 13:08 |
| tani | TomPurnell: asoundconf list shows only card: NVidia | 13:08 |

| stdin | friedchicken03: "gksu gparted" | 13:09 |
| Cherubael | Amaranth: I take it this is going past this one room...? | 13:09 |
| Amaranth | Cherubael: I don't think it is | 13:09 |
| tani | TomPurnell: no sound from the laptop speaker. in a movie, video plays fine but without sound | 13:09 |
| jxxt | Cherubeal, Hmmnn! OK seems a bit pointless but if they are happy..:) | 13:09 |

| chazco | Most of AOL was just banned by the look of it.... | 13:10 |
| Amaranth | Cherubael: heh | 13:10 |
| tani | it can also identify the laptop volume controls, i.e. when i turn the volume knob it increases and decreases the volume as shown in the notification area. | 13:10 |
| TomPurnell | tani: have you checked your volume levels? PCM channel in particular | 13:10 |
| Seveas | reddeath, 'man net' shows an awful lot of them | 13:10 |
| tapas | kane77: dd is for block devices.. | 13:10 |
| ompaul | chazco, are they still on the internet? | 13:10 |
| chris3141 | TomPurnell: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu only shows how to print to a printer attached to another computer, but the ALCX-11 Epson is a print server itself? | 13:10 |
| amidaniel | Amaranth: A +r and a +J 7,1 (or more restrivtive) would likely help | 13:10 |
| tapas | kane77: i need to cp, cause the target partition doesn not have the same layout | 13:10 |
| tapas | [that's why i copy ;)] | 13:10 |
| chazco | I was on Freenode, it suddenly said i was banned... not been able to connect until i got a non-AOL range IP | 13:10 |
| Amaranth | amidaniel: +J blocks regular users way too much, same with +r | 13:10 |
| tani | TomPurnell: yes, they are both set to max | 13:10 |
| tapas | will try with cp -a and see what happens [need to upgrade grub etc.. will ask then] | 13:10 |
| TomPurnell | chris3141: sorry, I can't help with that. sounds like a question for the forums | 13:10 |
| Amaranth | amidaniel: So we only set +r during an attack | 13:11 |
| chris3141 | for www.ubuntuquestions.org? | 13:11 |
| Amaranth | Seveas: I think they're filtering in slowly again | 13:11 |
| amidaniel | Amaranth: Well, you certainly need *some* join throttle | 13:11 |
| Cherubael | Amaranth: Decrease +L limit and increase update frequency... 20s updates, +5 on current total or something. Stop loads of bots joining at once? | 13:11 |
| Amaranth | amidaniel: We have it, FloodBot | 13:11 |

| ppk|laptop | Seveas, whaaaa...? | 13:16 |
| Hobbsee | here's the next lot | 13:16 |
| Seveas | !staff | 13:16 |
| ubotu | Hey nalioth, jenda, rob, SportChick, seanw, Dave2 or Christel, I could use a bit of your time :) | 13:16 |
| dutchie86 | yay for K-lined | 13:17 |
| CaptnSnow | can someone help me with importing icons? | 13:17 |
| sethk | GDhoore, I'd guess that a driver is missing, either for the device itself, or another device, so that the uuid changes | 13:17 |
| Seveas | let's keep the +r for now | 13:17 |
| friedchicken03 | k-fed? | 13:17 |
| sethk | Seveas, what does +r do? | 13:17 |
| tani | not sure whether this message made to the channel, hence re-posting: TomPurnell: what log files would you like to see? | 13:17 |
| dutchie86 | when the bots get kicked in my client is says they left K-lined | 13:17 |
| kakoonia | Amaranth : i dont think its this one, i had something that was showing me all opened windows on the screen when i drag the pointer to the top-left corner, now i cant find, which plugin does that.\ | 13:17 |
| Seveas | sethk, hopefully keep some of the bots out | 13:18 |
| sethk | Seveas, when I send one word, it's because I can't type. :) | 13:18 |
| Amaranth | kakoonia: scale | 13:18 |
| sethk | Seveas, ah | 13:18 |
| kakoonia | sec | 13:18 |
| kloeri | Seveas: staff is already keeping an eye on things and klining as fast as possible | 13:18 |
| Seveas | kloeri, I know, good job :) | 13:18 |
| Cherubael | dutchie86: That's the reason they've been killed. k-line is a hostname ban to stop them reconnecting. Trouble is the guy controlling the bots keeps switching hosts | 13:18 |
| zanzer7 | what governs which applications are run when I start X / Xfce? for some reason, nm-manager opens thrice (each with it's own tray instance), and that's quite annoying | 13:18 |
| GDhoore | sethk: I'm fairly sure I have the appropriate drivers compiled. dm-crypt and its lot are there for certain. Let me go through the config again and see if I missed anything | 13:18 |
| Hobbsee | kloeri: kline faster :) | 13:18 |
| kane77 | hmm.. so what's the difference between !staff and !ops ? | 13:18 |
| dutchie86 | aah ok, thanks Cherubael | 13:18 |
| kakoonia | Amaranth : ohh.. yeah.. :D thanks budd! | 13:18 |
| sethk | GDhoore, worth checking. | 13:19 |

| kloeri | Hobbsee: hehe :) | 13:19 |
| mwti | kane77, staff can make network bans, ops only channel ones | 13:19 |
| Seeker` | kane77: !ops is the channel operators, !staff is the network operators | 13:19 |
| stdin | kane77: ops calls the channel ops, staff calls some freenode staffers | 13:19 |
| Seveas | kane77, the people you annoy with it. If you abuse !staff, you can say bye-bye from the server :) | 13:19 |
| chazco | Now that i've got my Ubuntu mostly working, is there any way to make a custom "restore" CD which will install all my stuff & configure it next time? | 13:19 |
| TomPurnell | tani: pastebin your dmesg output first | 13:19 |
| Hobbsee | Seveas: *snort* | 13:19 |
| Seveas | jxxt, best way to help is just stay calm, ignore as much as possible and let the ops/staff handle it | 13:19 |
| dutchie86 | chazco you can image using dd | 13:19 |
| TomPurnell | !cloning | chazco | 13:20 |
| chazco | Not really enough space... would prefer tweaking the liveCD/alt.CD if possible... just looking for a pointer in the right direction | 13:20 |
| ubotu | chazco: 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 && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 13:20 |
| dutchie86 | chazco there is also an install script you can create | 13:20 |
| jxxt | Seveas, OK thanks.. | 13:20 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about automount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 13:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Dbug_: i doubt it. | 13:47 |

| sandaru1 | _Dbug_: i'm not sure.. but probably it would be using "vesa" drivers.. so, it won't help you much | 13:47 |
| steve_b | jxxt, are you still there? | 13:47 |
| vb | I am unable to find a deb for code::blocks | 13:47 |
| sandaru1 | _Dbug_: it's again low graphics mode | 13:47 |
| dutchie86 | vb is it maybe a perl module? | 13:47 |
| Aeonoris | bofh: There are nine of them, all sleeping but one that's running. | 13:48 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: it doesnt mount usb or dvd, it does do cd actually. when i click on my usb stick to mount, i get the error message: mount: can't find /dev/sb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 13:48 |
| vb | dutchie: perl module ? | 13:48 |
| _Dbug_ | sandaru1, I was thinking about the currently running config, since I'm on the same machine with a working video setup :) Not the file of the live cd, the detected correct configuration. | 13:48 |
| dutchie86 | vb what do you need the code::blocks for? | 13:48 |
| bofh80 | Aeonoris, you only need one. if it's that bad, ie so many running, i would restart the computer :S | 13:48 |
| vb | as a C/C++ IDE | 13:48 |
| bofh80 | Aeonoris, you could kill them all | 13:48 |
| bofh80 | Aeonoris, then run a new one and your Desktop will come back | 13:48 |
| steve_b | does anyone here use Amarok to listen to music? | 13:48 |
| _Dbug_ | sandaru1, http://pastebin.com/m398185b4 | 13:49 |
| atlef | steve_b: yes | 13:49 |
| MilhousePunkRock | steve_b: Yes! | 13:49 |
| sandaru1 | _Dbug_: hmm.. that have a fair chance of working.. worth trying running the config | 13:49 |
| steve_b | do you know how I can remove all the music that I've deleted from my collection? | 13:49 |
| NewUserr | anyone knows a good program to watch life tv streams? | 13:49 |
| Aeonoris | Bofh, I run a new one using the terminal, I'm guessing? | 13:49 |
| steve_b | at the moment it is still there but greyed out | 13:49 |
| atlef | steve_b: do a rescan | 13:49 |
| MilhousePunkRock | steve_b: The collection will update itself every once in a while... Else there is a manual trigger for it | 13:49 |
| vb | dutchie: where can I get its deb? | 13:49 |
| bofh80 | Aeonoris, uhm there's a run command from the menu i believe i thought oh, i think there's a hotkey | 13:50 |
| Aeonoris | Bofh: I'll try restarting first, see if that helps | 13:50 |
| steve_b | I did a rescan but the stuff still shows up... | 13:50 |
| bofh80 | hey ROOM, what's the hotkey in gnome for GTKRUN ? | 13:50 |
| blahblahx | ALT+F12 is the hotkeu bofh80 | 13:50 |
| sandaru1 | _Dbug_: ok. you don't have vga parameters in menu.lst.. so, blank shell is not due to that | 13:50 |
| MilhousePunkRock | bofh80: Alt-F2? | 13:50 |
| bofh80 | :) | 13:50 |
| atlef | steve_b: strange | 13:50 |
| roxana | ciao | 13:50 |
| Aeonoris | Bofh: Won't even let me use quit... | 13:50 |
| steve_b | ooh actually I'm a retard | 13:50 |
| bofh80 | thanks blahblahx and MilhousePunkRock | 13:50 |
| steve_b | it did work# | 13:50 |
| _Dbug_ | sandaru1, where is on the disk the x configuration file ? I can paste it also | 13:50 |
| steve_b | they are just still on the currently queued up things | 13:50 |
| bofh80 | Aeonoris, have you ended all the nautilus ? | 13:51 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: you still around? | 13:51 |
| NewUserr | anyone knows a good program to watch life tv streams? i tried xdtv but i cannot make it run :( | 13:51 |
| dutchie86 | yeah i am | 13:51 |
| atlef | steve_b: :-) | 13:51 |
| Aeonoris | Bofh: Oh, nope, should I have before I restarted? | 13:51 |
| sandaru1 | _Dbug_: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 13:51 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx yeah i am | 13:51 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: ok did you get my last message? | 13:51 |
| charles__ | lol | 13:51 |
| bofh80 | Aeonoris, you restarted? what's happened? lol | 13:51 |
| dutchie86 | no i didnt blahblahx sorry | 13:51 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: it doesnt mount usb or dvd, it does do cd actually. when i click on my usb stick to mount, i get the error message: mount: can't find /dev/sb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 13:51 |
| MilhousePunkRock | steve_b: You can deletes tracks with the file management option in the context menu too, this way it will update the collection right away | 13:52 |
| kazol | How do I make a file execute automatically (instead of asking me whether I want to display or run it?) | 13:52 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx at any stage did you just pull out your usb key without safely removing it? | 13:52 |
| Aeonoris | bofh: That's fixed it, thanks! | 13:52 |
| bofh80 | Aeonoris, cool :) | 13:52 |
| Aeonoris | I guess I shouldn't log out and in so much :P | 13:52 |
| jxxt | steve_b, yes i am my server had a rest :) | 13:52 |
| Cherubael | When I try and boot to Windows from Grub, it hangs with the message "Starting up..." and I have to cold restart. Any ideas on resolving this? | 13:52 |
| NewUserr | anyone knows a good program to watch life tv streams? i tried xdtv but i cannot make it run :( | 13:53 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: this is the first time ive put in one. doesnt that error mean i need to add some entry for /dev/sb1 in /etc/fstab for it to mount? | 13:53 |
| steve_b | jxxt, it was you I was talking to about my wifi probems wasn't it? | 13:53 |
| _Dbug_ | sandaru1, http://pastebin.com/m14f231e5 <- xorg.conf see anything wrong ? | 13:53 |
| bofh80 | Aeonoris, if you know much about windows explorer.exe = nautilus :) hangs occasionally :) . you have to do the same thing in windows with explorer.exe and the taskmanager when your desktop screws up :) | 13:53 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx normally ubuntu would add any entries it needs to automatically | 13:53 |
| Aeonoris | Bofh: Okay, thanks a ton. I'm slowly learning Lunix | 13:53 |
| jxxt | steve_b, yes But i know not much about the subject :( | 13:53 |
| TomPurnell | NewUserr: Miro? | 13:54 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: well do i need a special package installed or something? cuz i started with a tiny minimal ubuntu and have built up, so some default stuff isnt there im guessing | 13:54 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx :pull out the usb key and then open terminal and then put it back in then in terminal type in dmesg and have a look at the output for any erros | 13:54 |
| bofh80 | Aeonoris, big learning curve, worth it, distro's like this make it a hell of a lot easier :) | 13:54 |
| steve_b | jxxt, I think I fixed it - all I had to do was uninstall the crappy network-manager | 13:54 |
| NewUserr | TomPurnell: Ok thnx i try that out | 13:54 |
| sandaru1 | _Dbug_: everything seems to be weird.. it's failsafe graphics by default.. you can try running the config from live CD and copy that.. that's the best way i guess | 13:54 |
| blizzkid | how would one change the "Applications" icon in Gutsy? | 13:54 |
| vb | how can I get a nightly build deb for code::blocks? | 13:54 |
| piko | slm | 13:54 |
| piko | hello | 13:55 |
| jxxt | steve_b, Cool.. Did you put some thing else in the place of network manager?? | 13:55 |
| _Dbug_ | sandaru1, so I can probably copy the content of FileSystem/etc/x11/xorg.conf to Disk/etc/x11/xorg.conf I guess ? Any other file used for the graphic setup ? | 13:55 |
| andre_ | alguem do brasil | 13:55 |
| ghostknife | Where to I set my default console editor? I want to use vim when running sudoedit? | 13:56 |
| sandaru1 | _Dbug_: you should first run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"... then coping xorg.conf would be enough | 13:56 |
| steve_b | jxxt, my friend came over the other day and showed my how to set up my network the way that you would do it on Debian. It wasn't really using network manager anyway. The thing is network manager kept trying to scan for available networks, which caused my connection to be dropped. | 13:56 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx did you get the message about dmesg? | 13:56 |
| piko | slm | 13:56 |
| jrib | ghostknife: sudo update alternatives --config editor | 13:56 |
| _Dbug_ | sandaru1, great, will try that. Thanks :) | 13:56 |
| kazol | Where are the default apps for file type settings? | 13:56 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: yup ill pastebin the output | 13:56 |
| steve_b | jxxt, I'm still not 100% sure it's fixed - it was so random when it would drop out that I will just have to wait and see | 13:56 |
| ghostknife | jrib: ;> thanks | 13:56 |
| dutchie86 | cheers blahblahx | 13:57 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: youre leaving? | 13:57 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahxL nope | 13:57 |
| jrib | ghostknife: setting the EDITOR environment variable might help too | 13:57 |
| friedchicken03 | Just wondering, if i use ubuntu would i still be able to play games like COD4, TeamFortress2, etc that was made for windows. Is there usually a work around? | 13:57 |
| steve_b | does anybody here have any experience of using an iPod with ubuntu linux? | 13:57 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx: nope | 13:57 |
| jrib | !anyone | steve_b | 13:57 |
| ubotu | steve_b: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 13:57 |
| dutchie86 | steve_b i have done it once or twice | 13:57 |
| Creationist | friedchicken03: It is POSSIBLE for SOME games. | 13:57 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: here ya go http://pastebin.com/m67fec165 | 13:58 |
| steve_b | Linux won't recognise my iPod | 13:58 |
| Creationist | friedchicken03: ...but not without a lot of tweaking and usually some bugs (crashes, poor performance, etc) | 13:58 |
| steve_b | it used to and now it deosn't! | 13:58 |
| jxxt | steve_b, My network is really flaky on wep so any thing you did learn please share with me.. | 13:58 |
| piko | zd | 13:58 |
| ghostknife | jrib: this works fine, thanks. EDITOR works aswell though | 13:58 |
| steve_b | jxxt: I dont think it was a wep problem at all - my card simply has bad support for scanning, and network manager kept trying to scan which messed it up | 13:59 |
| Varanger | Does anyone know any USB 3G modem compatible for Linux ?? | 13:59 |
| sethk | friedchicken03, I'd not recommend trying to use linux that way. It's not impossible, but it's a lot of trouble and has very little return | 13:59 |
| Creationist | !google | Varanger | 13:59 |
| ubotu | Varanger: Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com - Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux | 13:59 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: and in /media/ there is cdrom, cdrom0, floppy0, and floppy but nothing to do with usb or dvd | 13:59 |
| steve_b | I plugged in my ipod and it didn't detect the drive - does anyone know how to get ubuntu to recognise it? | 13:59 |
| jxxt | steve_b, So you think network manager is the bad guy here??? | 14:00 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, you got your ipod on the USB ? | 14:00 |
| steve_b | jxxt: for me yes definately | 14:00 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx it will create it on the fly, if you can create a folder in /media called test123 then in terminal type mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test123 -t vfat | 14:00 |
| steve_b | bofh80: yes it is on usb. Also i did lsusb and it is recognised | 14:00 |
| Vinconzo | hi | 14:00 |
| dutchie86 | steve_b install gtkpod | 14:00 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: anything strange about my /etc/fstab? | 14:01 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, but it normally automounts to your desktop? | 14:01 |
| Cherubael | Oh awesome I got surround sound working for audio playback :D | 14:01 |
| Vinconzo | Ubuntu 7.10 wont detect my Creative Zen Vision M | 14:01 |
| steve_b | bofh80: Exactly! that's the problem - it hasn't | 14:01 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx probably not | 14:01 |
| jxxt | steve_b, OK so it needs to die then.. Did you replace with something?? | 14:01 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, ok goto Places > Desktop | 14:01 |
| dutchie86 | hi hans | 14:01 |
| steve_b | jxxt: I just set my wireless network up the normal manual way, by editting config files | 14:02 |
| berent | how do i convert .sifz to .swf | 14:02 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx did it work? | 14:02 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, have you got a places list in the left hand pane? | 14:02 |
| blahblahx | trying it now dutchie86 | 14:02 |
| Creationist | !google | berent | 14:02 |
| ubotu | berent: Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com - Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux | 14:02 |
| dutchie86 | cool blahblahx | 14:02 |
| steve_b | bofh80: yes I have | 14:02 |
| kazol | How do I specify default apps (to execute files) to .sh extensions? | 14:02 |
| steve_b | dutchie86 : I have gtkpod but haven't had a lot of luck with it | 14:02 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, could you possibly tell me whats in the list? anything that could be your IPOD? gnome usually caches device names or connections here | 14:03 |
| jrib | kazol: extensions are meaningless. What do you actually want to do? | 14:03 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, anything that says removeable drive? etc? | 14:03 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: ok i did that and my usb stick flashed but the command isnt done (i havent got the next prompt yet) | 14:03 |
| steve_b | bofh80 : there is definately nothing in the list. My ipod has lost all of its music since last time I tried to synch it - maybe the harddrive's corrupt? | 14:04 |
| CrashOverride | I turned on Ubuntu, and the screen was just flashing weird colors in horizontal lines, I had to load Windows to get on IRC | 14:04 |
| CrashOverride | -.- | 14:04 |
| Cherubael | Creationist: Do you know of GMBMG.com? Strips the advert and marketing links out of google search results | 14:04 |
| Creationist | Cherubael: Doesn't affect me. | 14:04 |
| jxxt | steve_b, OK then thank you I will try doing it thet way. Nothing to lose as wep is too flakey with network manager.:) | 14:04 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, ipod's do have issues. have you tried the plugin in Rythmbox to sync to your ipod? | 14:04 |
| kazol | jrib: I have a file that needs to be executed. Each time I open it it prompts me whether I want to display or execute it. Is there a way for it to get executed automatically? | 14:04 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx open a new terminal windows/tab and see if you can cd into /media/test123 and see the contents of ur usb key? | 14:04 |
| Cherubael | When I try and boot to Windows from Grub, it hangs with the message "Starting up..." and I have to cold restart. Any ideas on resolving this? | 14:04 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, also in a terminal you can type dmesg | 14:04 |
| steve_b | bofh80 : ryhthm box is what broke it in the first place! | 14:04 |
| Creationist | Cherubael: Google needs to make money somehow... and I have Adblock anyway.. whatever GMBMG.com is is pointless. | 14:04 |
| blahblahx | nothing in there dutchie86 | 14:05 |
| jrib | kazol: create a launcher for it (or disable that prompt in nautilus' preferences, but I would not recommend this last method) | 14:05 |
| steve_b | bofh80 : I just checked in gtkpod and it says there is no directory strucure on the ipod so I think it got corrupted somehow | 14:05 |
| _Dbug_ | arg.... Could not save the file /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf. You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. :-/ Should I run the text editor from sudo ? | 14:05 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, it's the system event log, if type it, then unplug and replug, and then type dmesg again, you should see any errors relating to the ipod at the bottom | 14:05 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx type dmesg and see if there is any errors | 14:05 |
| ConstyXIV | where do you put the "noatime" option in the /etc/fstab? | 14:05 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, ouch | 14:05 |
| blahblahx | yes plenty of em dutchie86 | 14:05 |
| xevil | Cherubael: check to see if the mount point for Win is right in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 14:05 |
| steve_b | bofh80 : I think I will need to reboot into windows and reformat it | 14:06 |
| Cherubael | xevil: Mount point it correct AFAIK. /dev/hda5 = hd0,4 yeah? | 14:06 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: im gonna try another usb stick | 14:06 |
| dutchie86 | ok, no worries blahblahx | 14:06 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, people upgrade and change those i think too, so there should be a way to put it back to uhm, original, maybe someon else in the ROOM can help. i hate those things | 14:06 |
| === amidaniel is now known as AmiDaniel_away | ||
| ConstyXIV | what does noatime do anyways? | 14:06 |
| xevil | Cherubael: that appears correct | 14:06 |
| jrib | ConstyXIV: why do you want to do it if you do not know what it does? | 14:07 |
| CrashOverride | I turned on Ubuntu, and the screen was just flashing weird colors in horizontal lines, I had to load Windows to get on IRC | 14:07 |
| kazol | jrib: I got "there was an error opening a child window" | 14:07 |
| steve_b | bofh80 : there are no error messages in dmesg | 14:07 |
| ConstyXIV | jrib: im running ubuntu on an eee, and someone reccomended turning on noatime to reduce writes to the flash | 14:07 |
| jrib | kazol: in what context? What did you do to get that error? | 14:07 |
| steve_b | bofh80 : it recognised it as a usb hard drive | 14:08 |
| Cherubael | CrashOverride: Try loading Ubuntu in VGA mode. Hit escape when asked to access menu | 14:08 |
| bofh80 | steve_b, sounds like your ipod needs some TLC :) | 14:08 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx i just did a google and look around and do you have a service called autofs? | 14:08 |
| vb | where can I get a deb for code::blocks? | 14:08 |
| === javaJake is now known as javaJake_ | ||
| Cherubael | CrashOverride: Horizontal scrolling lines usually mean the resolution is set too high. Try turning it down. I don't know exactly how, though :D I'm new to this too | 14:08 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: i actually cant find any right now. can i read you the errors i got with dmesg? | 14:08 |
| steve_b | bofh80 : I agree. I have had to reboot it lots of times recently. I only bought it 2 months ago so I hope it's not dead! | 14:08 |
| jrib | ConstyXIV: read 'man mount' to know what it does. You can use /noatime<ENTER> to find the relevant part of the man page. If you decide to use it, it goes in the "options" column of your fstab | 14:08 |
| bofh80 | what you do, is find steve jobbs, and smake him the mouth with it | 14:08 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx go for it | 14:09 |
| blahblahx | dutchie86: hmm how do i check whether i have it or not? | 14:09 |
| === javaJake_ is now known as javaJake | ||
| bofh80 | steve_b, did you buy it from a a retail outlet? | 14:09 |
| dutchie86 | blahblahx dw about what i just said coz i dont have it either | 14:09 |
| TomPurnell | vb: does it have to be a deb? | 14:09 |

| siccness | if you run a script in sudo, and the script runs other commands, are those commands also run as sudo (if theres no sudo infront of the commands inside the script)? | 14:13 |
| === tobias__ is now known as tobias | ||
| sethk | hacked_kernel, yes, it's a power management issue IIRC | 14:14 |
| f0rke1 | i can only find GNU R version 2.5.1 in the Synaptics | 14:14 |

| jrib | siccness: yes | 14:14 |
| siccness | hmm | 14:14 |
| f0rke1 | but repository listing on web says 2.6.1 available as -deb packages | 14:14 |
| siccness | that eliminates that issue then | 14:14 |

| CrashOverride | how do I set the resolution back to 1027x768 from recovery mode | 14:18 |

| abcde__ | CrashOverride, Do what I suggested with Screen Resolution first | 14:22 |

| J-23 | !universe | 14:57 |
| Innatech | psnel: yes, the interface names can change sometimes. You can use ifrename (I think that's what it's called) to force the interfaces to have the names you're expecting by MAC. | 14:57 |

| Brazilian | Ximal, "Access denied for user 'localhost_ximal'@'localhost' (using password: YES)" looks liek you are using a wrong password? | 14:58 |
| jrib | blahblahx: maybe it should be 'mplayer dvd://1' | 14:58 |
| soundray | oj: it's unusual to have a /dev/hdb when no /dev/hda is present. This indicates that your 204GB drive is set to slave mode. When no master is present, this could lead to problems such as you describe. | 14:58 |
| Ximal | so do i need to use my ... local login to my machine | 14:58 |

| KnickLighter | Hello everyone, i cant get my ubuntu 7.10 cd to start up, it gives me 'buffer i/o error on device fd0, logical block 0' | 15:05 |
| Innatech | psnel: so you have two PPP uplinks (presumably load balanced or using tcrule or route_rules) and you want to NAT eth3 traffic through both of them. If so, then your conf looks correct. | 15:05 |
| bofh80 | hey kljb you there? http://www.ranchits.co.uk/skype-debian_1.4.0.99-1_i386.deb | 15:05 |

| soundray | oj: here's something worth trying: in line 200, the value of CONTROL_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT is 1. Set that to 0, then do a 'sudo invoke-rc.d laptop-mode restart'. See if that changes anything. | 15:14 |

| === sandaru1_ is now known as sandaru1 | ||
| Innatech | psnel: well, I'm not entirely clear on how your network is laid out, or what that second subnet in your pastebin is for....where is the SOCKS proxy? On the firewall? | 15:23 |
| ricksta1080 | what are some recommended programs to download for xubuntu? | 15:23 |
| ompaul | Ximal, so why are you at that point on the page - I think you are not following it if you have installed mysql and php yiou should not be there on the page it should be working already | 15:23 |
| soundray | oj: if you suspect desktop software, it's worth creating a new user and logging in as that. If it doesn't happen to another user, your configuration in $HOME would be to blame. | 15:23 |
| kazol | I can't mount a samba share-I get "session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)" | 15:23 |

| Ximal | because ompaul : when I try to install my forum ... using either the login for my username or a created one for the forum i made up.. | 15:23 |
| oj | soundray: suppose it turns out that is the reason, do you know a way to find out what in my $HOME would be causing the slowdown? | 15:24 |
| Ximal | it gives me some error about mysql not working and the username being invalid.. | 15:24 |
| psnel | chesty: 169.254.0.0 .. eth3; does that come from the /etc/shorewall/masq file (paste)? | 15:24 |
| Ximal | so I'm assuming I need to install / configure mysql somehow with a username/password | 15:24 |
| ompaul | Ximal, your issue is with setting up mysql then | 15:24 |
| psnel | Innatech: yes, same host as gateway | 15:24 |

| tom__ | anyone? how do i replace usplash with splashy please? | 15:26 |
| ompaul | !usplash | tom__ | 15:27 |
| ubotu | tom__: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 15:27 |
| Innatech | psnel: well, presuming that the proxy is listening on an address in the local zone and sending on an address in the $FW zone, then I would think it would have worked even w/o routing enabled, but I'm not a LARTC/Netfilter/Shorewall expert. | 15:27 |
| ricksta1080 | tom__, i think sits under settings manager... and then from there, there u should be able to change the splash | 15:27 |

| soundray | oj: a laborious cop-out ;) | 15:33 |
| Innatech | psnel: no, I mean the SOCKS proxy should have been able to do its job w/o routing between the subnets, presuming it was listening in the loc zone and connecting out from within the $FW zone. In that scenario, packets aren't being routed between subnets. But, if it's working now I wouldn't worry about it too much. | 15:33 |

| LiMaO | _virus_: i'll ask you about every and all 'annoying' feature, so that you may turn it off | 15:35 |

| Ellias | kazol: check you security settign in your smb.comf | 15:35 |
| thor | kazol: did you define an smb password (smbpasswd) | 15:35 |
| psnel | Innatech: not sure. DHCP happens on "ADSL-bridge/LAN-switch". there are 2 connections between the gw and "ADSL..device".. one via eth2 (no IP/DHCP) and the other eth3 (LAN)... There is an issue with eth2 i'm not sure about: in /etc/networks/interfaces -> iface eth2 inet ipv4ll (the ipv4ll flag) | 15:35 |

| LiMaO | Ximal: you shouldn't use a password | 15:36 |
| Ellias | kazol: do you use any authentication to get to your samba share? | 15:36 |
| LiMaO | Ximal: also, the default user created for mysql is root | 15:36 |
| Innatech | psnel: do you have multiple interfaces on the shorewall plugged into the same switch? | 15:36 |
| Ximal | I'm installing a forum and mysql is asking for a password | 15:36 |
| psnel | Innatech: yup :-/ | 15:36 |
| LiMaO | Ximal: if the server is yours, the mysql user should be root and the password should be left blank | 15:37 |
| Ximal | well I want to change the password on it m8.. | 15:37 |
| beasty | LiMaO: that's pretty secure :p | 15:37 |
| Innatech | psnel: that's officially bad. The shorewall docs state explicitly not to do that. | 15:37 |
| LiMaO | Ximal: if it's someone else's server, you gotta use the username/password provided to you | 15:37 |
| Ximal | that's all i wanna do :) | 15:37 |

| Ximal | thanks sndaru .. | 15:38 |

| chesty | psnel: I think 169.254.0.0 is for zeroconf like things, I don't think they're meant to be routed, I think they are meant to be local to a link | 15:41 |
| Ximal | i installed lamp about 4 days ago.. | 15:41 |
| Ximal | I spent 2 days learning to configure htaccess | 15:41 |
| Ximal | now i'm working on mysql configurations :) | 15:41 |
| LiMaO | Ximal: mysqladmin -uroot the-password-you-want-to-use-here | 15:41 |
| LiMaO | Ximal: then to login, your username is root and your password is what you typed above | 15:42 |
| sandaru1 | LiMa0: no, it's just 'password' | 15:42 |
| Ximal | error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' | 15:42 |
| Innatech | psnel: in short, the gateway will respond to an ARP WHOHAS request on all interfaces for any configured address. When multiple interfaces are plugged into the same switch, this has 'unpredictable' results. | 15:42 |
| Ximal | hmm | 15:42 |
| LiMaO | sandaru1: what's the command to setup the password in one line only? | 15:42 |
| Ximal | i have an idea.. | 15:42 |
| LiMaO | sandaru1: Ximal is probably confusing himself on simple commands | 15:42 |
| kazol | Ellias: I just used something like: "sudo smbmount //192.168.0.2/documents-server /home/administrator/Desktop/Documents-Server -o username={username},password={passwd},uid=1000,mask=000 | 15:42 |
| sandaru1 | LiMaO: mysqladmin -uroot password newpassword ? | 15:43 |
| Ximal | no.. | 15:43 |
| bullgard4 | [Gutsy] Gnome main menu System > Quit > Hibernate obtains only a password dialog and a tooltip:"Problem with the Suspend mode. The change to Suspend state failed..." Filling in my password returns me to the outset but my LAN connection is lost. | 15:43 |
| Ximal | i'm not limao.. | 15:43 |
| civiXier | which file holds the information about wlan0? | 15:43 |
| psnel | chesty: please explain zeroconf, and 'local to a link'. Is it safe to remove that from the shorewall masq file? | 15:43 |
| Ximal | mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) is what i'm getting.. | 15:44 |
| Ximal | should i just purge and reinstall the newer mysql ? | 15:44 |
| Ximal | it will prompt me during install for a pwd right ? | 15:44 |
| Ximal | i could just install and or compile and install | 15:44 |
| HuxFlux | server irc.fumbbl.com | 15:44 |
| sandaru1 | Ximal: it comes with blank password by default.. then you have to set the password using mysqladmin command | 15:44 |
| Ximal | well.. i installed LAMP through synaptic .. | 15:45 |
| soundray | bullgard4: it could be that your network driver is not suspend-safe. You can add it to the MODULES= line in /etc/default/acpi-support to automatically unload it before suspending. | 15:45 |
| PirateHead | Ubuntu keeps reporting a fake CD in my drive and trying to read from it, which results in constant error messages and garbage being sent to dmesg. Can anybody help me figure out how to stop it? Pastebin of dmesg | tail : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46581/ | 15:45 |
| LiMaO | Ximal: when installing mysql from synaptic it'll ask you for a new root password | 15:45 |
| Ellias | kazol: try specifcying the filesystem at the beginning of the smbmount command | 15:45 |
| psnel | Innatech: unpredictable like 'it may not work' or 'hosts on ADSL net might do ARP requests and be assigned IPs on my LAN'? is it mainly a security risk? | 15:45 |
| Ximal | hmm | 15:45 |
| LiMaO | PirateHead: eject that false cd | 15:45 |
| Ximal | i bet i was chatting and typed in a password not realizing it.. | 15:45 |
| Ximal | bah.. | 15:45 |
| PirateHead | LiMaO: That gives me a "Cannot reject CD: device is not ready" sort of error. | 15:46 |
| LiMaO | PirateHead: type 'sudo eject /dev/your-cdrom-drive' | 15:46 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: 8139too is not suspend-safe? But it was in Feisty. Hwsat? | 15:46 |
| chesty | psnel: basically, if dhcp fails to get an address, a 169.254.0.0 address can be assigned. It's not meant to be routed, you can safely remove it from shorewall | 15:46 |
| Ximal | is there a way to check to see if there's a password set ? like in the htaccess files for apache.. where you can open the conf file and see the encrypted password ? | 15:46 |
| soundray | bullgard4: actually, come to think of it, it's probably not your network driver, but it could be some other module. Examine dmesg output and /var/log/syslog for more hints on what goes on as you suspend. | 15:46 |
| LiMaO | PirateHead: try unmounting it first... 'sudo umount /dev/cdrom-device-here' | 15:46 |
| Innatech | psnel: from http://www.shorewall.net/three-interface.htm : Caution: Do NOT connect multiple interfaces to the same hub or switch except for testing. You can test using this kind of configuration if you specify the arp_filter option or the arp_ignore option in /etc/shorewall/interfaces for all interfaces connected... Using such a setup with a production firewall is strongly recommended against. | 15:47 |
| psnel | chesty: thanks. thats been irritating me - i just love talking to you people) | 15:47 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: /var/log/syslog reports: "gnome-power-manager: (detlef) hibernate failed." | 15:47 |
| PirateHead | LiMaO: umount: /dev/cdrom: not mounted | 15:47 |
| LiMaO | PirateHead: no dude.. i meant umount /dev/hdc | 15:47 |
| LiMaO | hdc = your cdrom device | 15:47 |
| Ximal | i'm trying to connect via mysqladmin just to test it limao... | 15:47 |
| soundray | bullgard4: that looks like the consequence, but not the cause of the problem. | 15:48 |
| Ximal | and no luck what so ever.. | 15:48 |
| notonekind | Hey I need to recover a bunch of files that turned into one index.dat file. can anyone help me? | 15:48 |
| PirateHead | LiMaO: hdc isn't mounted either. | 15:48 |
| Innatech | psnel: if your switch supports VLANs you can try and segregate the traffic that way. Or you can run as-is and hope for the best ;P | 15:48 |
| LiMaO | PirateHead: then you may 'sudo eject /dev/hdc' | 15:48 |
| Ximal | MySQL Error Nr. 1045 is the error number ? | 15:48 |
| PirateHead | LiMaO: I don't think it's a problem with the devices - I think it's somewhere. | 15:48 |
| PirateHead | LiMaO: sudo eject /dev/hdc doesn't give any error, but it doesn't stop the problem. | 15:49 |
| ping | moin @ all | 15:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | PirateHead: what does fstab look like for your cdrom? | 15:49 |
| notonekind | Can anyone help me figure out how to extrack files that turned into a .dat file???? | 15:49 |
| soundray | notonekind: turned into a .dat file? | 15:49 |
| gordonjcp | notonekind: probably not | 15:49 |
| kazol | Ellias: How? | 15:49 |
| notonekind | yes. no one has any idea? | 15:49 |
| PirateHead | Jack_Sparrow: I haven't touched it, so it's whatever Gutsy set up by default. | 15:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | notonekind: You need to explain it more .. how did it happen, what prog did it.. Better questions make for better answers | 15:50 |
| soundray | notonekind: how did that happen? | 15:50 |
| gordonjcp | notonekind: no-one knows what a .dat file is | 15:50 |
| psnel | Innatech: I think it can, but I'm running on the default, all-in-one-VLAN | 15:50 |
| PirateHead | /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 | 15:50 |
| gordonjcp | notonekind: maybe if you're a bit more specific someone could suggest something | 15:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | PirateHead: You should at least look at it.. | 15:50 |
| Innatech | psnel: well, you might want to look into that. | 15:50 |
| PirateHead | Jack_Sparrow: Need any more than that line I gave above? | 15:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nope | 15:50 |
| notonekind | I did a PC recovery in xp, and xp wasnt seeing some of my files, so i loaded Ubuntu, found them, and copied them to an accessible directory. Windows then wouldnt let me into the folder I copied, even though it could now see the folder. When I loaded Ubuntu again the files in that folder turned into one .dat file | 15:50 |
| psnel | Innatech: thanks for your help, I'll go have a read now, and play around with the VLAN. You can help some other expert now :-) | 15:51 |

| === camell143 is now known as dinfernandes | ||

| aguitel | anyone helpme to recover my grub? | 15:51 |
| psnel | Innatech: chow | 15:51 |
| EtteSB | anyone ever heard of a package called "purple"? i did a apt-cache search on it and got nothing. the problem is i got something looking for it to install | 15:51 |
| Ximal | after going through the headache of this.. i looked in synaptic.. and it has an installation program for phpbb ! | 15:52 |
| Ximal | grrrr | 15:52 |
| PirateHead | notonekind: It sounds like Windows might be having some big problems - in fact, I would suspect a virus. Have you tried booting Windows in safe mode? | 15:52 |
| _virus_ | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 15:52 |
| notonekind | I just cut and paste it to a different folder with ubuntu. | 15:52 |
| _virus_ | ops | 15:52 |
| kazol | Ellias: ? | 15:52 |
| _virus_ | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and explicitly choosing Emulate3Buttons 'no' still leaves it on it seems :( | 15:52 |
| Kheops | salut | 15:52 |
| notonekind | No, its a known glitch in the system that this happens with System restore. But I took a different route for fixing it because I didnt know it was a known problem. so its not a virus. | 15:52 |
| sandaru1 | EtteSB: libpurple? | 15:52 |
| Kheops | hello | 15:52 |
| soundray | notonekind: can you not just do the same again? Copy the unreadable-for-XP files with Ubuntu? | 15:53 |
| === KatieKitty is now known as ^garfield2^ | ||
| EtteSB | sandaru1: could be ill try that | 15:53 |
| * Ximal sends all the files in localhost/forum to /dev/null ;) | 15:53 | |
| PirateHead | notonekind: Is there a problem with Ubuntu, or is just Windows at this point? | 15:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | notonekind: a glitch in what system.. and WHAT program in Ubuntu did you use to copy those files.. | 15:53 |
| _virus_ | In the old days emulate3buttons would turn itself off once you press middle button once, that however doesnt work either | 15:53 |
| PirateHead | Jack_Sparrow: If he says he "just copied them", I think it's fairly safe to assume he used Nautilus - is that accurate, notonekind? | 15:54 |
| notonekind | Well what happened was they were in a folder that windows could not see AT ALL. but it was taking up space. Ubuntu was able to see the folder, so I cut it and paste it in my documents. Then I couldnt open that folder even though it could see it. I dont know what program I used, I just went "Places, C/, Documents and Settings, USERDATA and everything was in there. | 15:54 |
| notonekind | When I loaded Ubuntu after windows still couldnt open the file ,everything in that folder was a huge index.dat file, instead of my files like they had been. So my problem is, Using Ubuntu, I need to get those files back to their original state. | 15:55 |
| soundray | notonekind: from there, did you copy the data to a different location on the same disk? | 15:55 |
| notonekind | yes I did | 15:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | PirateHead: after helping in here for ages, I can never assume anything | 15:55 |
| PirateHead | Jack_Sparrow: fair enough. Any new ideas about my ghost CD, by the way? | 15:56 |
| soundray | notonekind: I think you should try copying the inaccessible data to a different filesystem, like a USB stick. | 15:56 |
| notonekind | yeah..but its 90 GB. | 15:56 |
| soundray | notonekind: it's probably safe to say that you can't trust your Windows partition to hold data any more. | 15:56 |
| notonekind | well 66.7 compressed. | 15:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | PirateHead: Still grinding away on that, maybe after I finish my first cup of coffee | 15:56 |
| ricksta1080 | what are some recommended prohrams to download ? | 15:56 |
| ricksta1080 | **programs | 15:56 |
| soundray | notonekind: about 15 DVDs :) | 15:56 |
| PirateHead | ricksta1080: I like Inkscape for drawing things and FreeCol is a pretty fun game. | 15:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ricksta1080: k3b for burning cd's but you need to be more specific about your needs | 15:57 |
| notonekind | So I need to put that index file on a seperate media for it to work again? | 15:57 |
| ricksta1080 | well, i have programs for just some necessary things like... disc image burning,,, etc | 15:58 |
| soundray | notonekind: no, forget the index file. Get at the source files with Ubuntu again. | 15:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | notonekind: What can Ubuntu..nautilus see of the files on your windows drive before you moved them with windows | 15:58 |
| notonekind | it say all my files in their state, videos, mp3s, picture, etc. | 15:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | soundray: agreed | 15:58 |
| KonjikiNoyami | Hi, I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10, I'm trying to install the restricted formats by using the command "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras", now some messages about Java T&C appear in the terminal window for a while and have not disappeared.

| rafal | the wikipedia's method of installing css wtf | 15:59 |

| robdeman | hi all.. I just followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH ... but after a reboot my VNCServer is no longer running.. any help? | 15:59 |
| rafal | sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh gives file not found | 15:59 |
| notonekind | The thing is, Im not using a ubuntu DRIVE...I did this all from the live cd. | 15:59 |
| soundray | notonekind: have you got 90GB free on your Ubuntu partition(s)? | 15:59 |
| soundray | notonekind: ah | 15:59 |
| astro76 | KonjikiNoyami, you need to click ok... tab to the ok button, and press elect or enter to click it | 15:59 |
| notonekind | I dont have 90 gb free, but I can get it, and then set up a partition probably | 16:00 |
| notonekind | should I do that? then copy this stuff over to my Ubuntu partition? | 16:00 |
| sandaru1 | KonjikiNoyami: what is the last line of the message? | 16:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | notonekind: borrow a usb stick.. easier and less likely to lose data.. or add a second drive | 16:00 |
| notonekind | right now everything is in ONE huge file though. | 16:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | notonekind: no need to install ubuntu on it.. it will just be for data | 16:00 |
| soundray | notonekind: if you value that data at all, I would turn the computer off now, find a separate hard disk with 90GB free, and copy everything over to that one using the live CD. | 16:00 |
| notonekind | nothings going to happen to that data, I gaurantee it | 16:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | notonekind: delete the 90gig file.. work with the originals | 16:01 |
| rafal | sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh gives file not found help! | 16:01 |
| notonekind | I cant get the originals anymore..they turned into that file. | 16:01 |

| soundray | notonekind: that's not what you said earlier... | 16:01 |

| soundray | notonekind: plenty of people here for me to support who don't run off to do something else. | 16:03 |
| Ximal | wha wok | 16:03 |
| stefg | Rockj: but you'll find it easier to just use the 32-bit version altogether | 16:03 |

| 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 | 16:07 |

| stefg | Rockj: i don't know about nvidias release plans, but i'm using a 32bit with that driver just fine. In general the minor performance gain with using 64 bit doesn't outweigh the additional trouble of using it, so most people choose to run 32bit even on 64bit hardware | 16:07 |

| ubotu | nownot: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 16:09 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: Do Dell? | 16:09 |
| Ximal | done ;) | 16:09 |
| robdeman | BUM i snot able to make TightVNCServer boot ... | 16:09 |
| bakarat | rbs-tito: hard to come by in europe-belgium it seems :s | 16:09 |
| soundray | bakarat: you can probably get Dell UK to send you one. | 16:09 |
| robdeman | there must be naother way to have TightVNCServer start after a reboot | 16:09 |
| kazol | rbs-tito: What string should I grep from top? | 16:09 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: If you have a friend in France or Germany Dell are the way to go. I got my dell Ubuntu laptop in the UK | 16:09 |
| rbs-tito | kazol: Not sure, sorry | 16:10 |
| bakarat | are they the only distributor of ubuntu based laptops? :S | 16:10 |
| kazol | I've been finding that Windows Vista is as stable as Ubuntu from my experience. | 16:10 |
| Cherubael | xtknight: Yeah, I've tried that, but I want to see what occurs after grub quits and Windows begins to boot; me issue is grub finishing properly (ubuntu boots fine) but windows failing. I get no errors, though | 16:10 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: Sort of, they are the best. Others seem to be dodgy and very small time companies | 16:10 |
| stefg | robdeman: you need to edit /etc/init.d/rc.local | 16:10 |
| smooker | hi ppls, i cant get the Animation effects of Compiz Fusion :( | 16:10 |
| smooker | they dont work and i dont know the combination | 16:11 |
| smooker | of keys | 16:11 |
| bakarat | rbs-tito: ok | 16:11 |
| kazol | Ellias: ? | 16:11 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: You could always buy a Windows laptop from Dell and try to get a refund.. The dimension 6400 with Windows is the exact same ahrdware as the version with Ubuntu | 16:11 |
| soundray | kazol: why don't you tell someone who's interested? | 16:11 |
| _virus_ | anyway problem solved *blush* X is using xorg.conf.failsafe behind my back, so i turned Emulate3Buttons off there | 16:11 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: It will be a tough game to get a refund though. Probably a few hours on the phone | 16:11 |
| kazol | soundray: I'm just saying. | 16:11 |
| soundray | _virus_: oh, that could have one thinking | 16:11 |
| bakarat | rbs-tito: hmm | 16:11 |
| soundray | kazol: it's offtopic | 16:12 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: You will need to take photos of you disagreeing to the EULA and stuff | 16:12 |
| bakarat | rbs-tito: nasty | 16:12 |
| kazol | soundray: There are plenty of more off-topic conversations which occur here. | 16:13 |
| hyorinmaru | quit | 16:13 |
| thor | stefg: booting vncserver is an interesting question. If you edit rc.local, how to you get it to run vncserver as a specific user? | 16:13 |
| soundray | kazol: you can complain in #ubuntu-ops | 16:13 |
| soulrider | does anyone here kno whow to add the | symbol in OpenOffice Math ? | 16:13 |
| mohd | Is there a way to get sound file previews in 7.10 | 16:13 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: Yeah, you can do that if you want to keep a principle. but if you just want a working laptop just wipe Windows off it straight away, spit on the disc and stuff ;) | 16:13 |
| sandaru1 | thor: su -u user Xvnc ? | 16:13 |
| stefg | thor: setuid? call a second script? | 16:14 |
| bakarat | rbs-tito: it's the extra cost for windows... :P | 16:14 |
| bakarat | wasted money | 16:14 |
| danbhfive | thor: you could try System > Preferences > Sessions im just guessing there | 16:14 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: It's like £20 from Dell | 16:14 |
| Rockj | stefg, thanks btw :) Ill see if I can just fix those tiny bugs in 64bit. Just finally ported myself over to linux on desktop on main computer. been using on laptop for ages (tho no fancy 3d stuff because of ati) | 16:14 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: Ubuntu is available in the UK, USA, Germany and France preinstalled on Dells. You could get a friend there or something! | 16:15 |
| thor | I always started vncserver via an ssh login when I needed it since I use ssh tunneling. But the question got me thinking....never learned how to run something at boot as a user. | 16:15 |
| soundray | thor: I think the way to start a vncserver at boot is via gdm. Haven't done it, though | 16:16 |
| notonekind | Hey sorry about all that. my sister cut her hand on a broken picture | 16:16 |
| thor | soundray gdm will handle XDCMP but I don't think it will start vncserver | 16:17 |
| soundray | thor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC | 16:17 |
| bakarat | rbs-tito: you mean the inspiron 6400? | 16:18 |
| soundray | thor: gdm will start any kind of X server | 16:18 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: Yeah, I'm talking from one now | 16:18 |
| bakarat | rbs-tito: no problems whatsoever with ubuntu? (buddy of mine has a dell and has problems with his wireless) | 16:19 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: It comes with an Intel wireless chip. It works perfectly out of the box, WPA and everything | 16:19 |
| bakarat | rbs-tito: nice :) | 16:19 |
| sandaru1 | thor: just an idea.. if you are connecting over a LAN, x11-forwarding is a superb choice | 16:19 |
| Ein_ | hi | 16:20 |
| notonekind | Alright, does anyone know anything .dat files, or doing a restore using Ubuntu? | 16:20 |
| corruptionoflulz | anyone know of anything better than sound juicer? | 16:20 |
| soundray | notonekind: your problem is a Windows one. Ask in an appropriate channel. | 16:20 |
| soundray | corruptionoflulz: abcde | 16:20 |
| thor | sandaru1 actually, you can use X forwarding via ssh tunnel even from the world. But sometimes you need the full desktop. I do use both but always through a tunnel, never thought about having it auto start at boot | 16:20 |
| notonekind | I was here for four hours last night; we determined it is'nt a windows problem. | 16:21 |
| thor | soundray reading that url now...thanks | 16:21 |
| sandaru1 | thor: i'm talking about the bandwidth :) | 16:21 |
| rafal | vlc crashes on playing dvds (7.10 amd64) | 16:21 |
| bakarat | rbs-tito: he's a bit put off by the intel 3D card in it :s | 16:21 |
| corruptionoflulz | soundray: thanks, installing now. | 16:21 |
| Ximal | k.. I'm oing to just reformat X-| ... this is a debilitating problem.. not being able to even login to my own mysql database to alter it :( | 16:21 |
| bakarat | rbs-tito: you know of another model that is 100% compatible? | 16:21 |
| Ximal | riot .. what was that command earlier ? | 16:22 |
| soundray | notonekind: Windows clumped your files together into a single one. How is that not a Windows problem? | 16:22 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: Why? He isn't going too be gaming is he? Intel cards are supported well in Linux | 16:22 |
| Ximal | the mysqladmin you showed me ? | 16:22 |
| thor | sandaru1 agreed...X forwarding is much more efficient than vnc and is usually what I prefer, but sometimes I want to view a remote desktop | 16:22 |
| bakarat | rbs-tito: he wants to be able to play guildwars on it (i think) | 16:22 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: Erm, no sorry. There are some colourful ones in the USA that have Nvidia | 16:22 |
| notonekind | I don't know, but its not anything that can be solved with windows is my point. | 16:22 |
| kimguru87 | hi guys i've installed 7.10 on intel 3.0 sata 80 gb hd. it worked fine for 2 days.now i m getting error 17 when grub loading.and i cant do nothing excep turn off.can anyone have any idea | 16:22 |
| rbs-tito | check the model and s ee if they do it i n Belgium | 16:22 |
| rbs-tito | bakarat: www.dell.com/ubuntu | 16:22 |
| sandaru1 | thor: actually i mean vice-versa.. VNC is much more efficient in bandwidth.. that's why there are such things called NX clients | 16:23 |
| soundray | thor: here's another thought: set gdm to autologin and configure vino. Then you can start a vnc client via ssh X forwarding... | 16:23 |
| Ximal | can anyone please please .. errr nm.. * shoots pc in processor unit ! * | 16:23 |
| sandaru1 | thor: in my experience x11 is not quite suitable if you are not using a LAN.. dunno about your internet connection speeds though ;) | 16:24 |
| thor | sandaru1 I thought x forwarding was better for bandwidth. I have been working with this stuff with a friend in Dublin Ireland (I am in Pond Inlet, Nunavut...the high arctic). we found that vnc was kinda slow...but much faster in an ssh tunnel. we found the same for X forwarding, that it runs faster through a tunnel. | 16:25 |
| void^ | x11 forwarding is okay-ish over something like a dsl line when using ssh with compression | 16:25 |
| bakarat | anyone know of a ubuntu-compatible laptop with a decent nvidia card in it? | 16:25 |
| soulrider | if anyone knows how to do this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3878146#post3878146 please post :) | 16:26 |
| thor | void^ right...things sped up noticeably once I turned on compression in tightvnc | 16:26 |
| Ximal | Is it possible the issue with mysql server not allowing me to login is because it bases itself off of the root password of user root in ubuntu which is disabled until unlocked ? | 16:26 |
| Ximal | i mean... is it possible ? that it's a bug ? | 16:26 |
| rafal | even after installing stuff from medibuntu etc, still no program can play DVD, wtf | 16:26 |

| f0rke1 | Hello, anyone know if GNU R version 2.6.1 is available for Gutsy 7.10, synaptics reports 2.5.1 only. | 16:27 |
| PriceChild | kimguru87, what did you do before it broke? | 16:27 |
| Ximal | rafal ... installed lib-dvd-css2 ? | 16:27 |
| f0rke1 | or point me to a doc on how to do a manual installation | 16:27 |
| sandaru1 | thor: if you look at the number of X server calls a usual menu click makes, you'll see why X11 is not so efficient.. and mouse moves, etc. in VNC, mouse pointer is handled locally.. and RFB protocol is much improved | 16:28 |
| PriceChild | kimguru87, i'd suggest your grub's menu.lst is broken | 16:28 |
| PriceChild | kimguru87, pointing to the wrong partition. | 16:28 |
| marco_ | hello | 16:28 |
| PriceChild | kimguru87, when grub appears, you can press "e" to edit the line to point it to the correct partition. | 16:28 |
| bkingx | Hi all, any thoughts as to why a server would be running fine with static IP and then all of a sudden grap an ip from DHCP? Restarting networking sets it back to the static ip. | 16:28 |
| soundray | soulrider: what's the name of that symbol? | 16:29 |
| kimguru87 | no i cant do it | 16:29 |
| sidelil | excuse me, the sintax for vncviewer is vncviewer 192.168.1.0 or something like this. But if I would connect to a pc behind a router, what shold I do? How can i specify the internet ip address and the lan ip address? Thank you | 16:29 |

| chesty | kimguru87: google for grub error 17, the first hit is from ubuntuforum | 16:30 |
| marco_ | thanks | 16:30 |
| sandaru1 | sidelil: you'll have to change the router settings.. or route the traffic through a server | 16:30 |
| kimguru87 | ok just google it and find thred in ubuntu forum | 16:31 |

| sidelil | sandaru1, my pc is routing all the traffic through the port 22 now. Is it right? | 16:32 |
| soulrider | soundray, no idea | 16:32 |
| lusepuster_ | run Kopete in a Gnome-environment. but I have this minor annoyance that only a few of the Icons show up - any suggestions as to what to do to fix it? | 16:32 |
| sandaru1 | sidelil: depends on the router. you can create a rule to forward traffic in 5910 to 192.168.1.0:5910 | 16:32 |
| soulrider | soulrider, but it looks like the pipe, | | 16:32 |
| soundray | soulrider: do you know how one would generate it in TeX? | 16:32 |
| soulrider | soundray, nope, but i saw in wikipedia they use the pipe symbol | 16:33 |
| === atomant is now known as atomkarinca | ||
| soulrider | openoffice shows the pipe as an OR symbol | 16:33 |

| Ximal | which angel do I thank for going into my system and helping me ? | 16:35 |

| erisco | LOL, my other terminal had its cwd in it | 16:37 |
| tech_ | then tries to read file from cdrom | 16:37 |
| tech_ | question if at that point time, some1 takes the cd out | 16:37 |
| tech_ | is the file system formatted/creatted or u gotta do it again | 16:38 |
| sandaru1 | Ximal: did you try a purge? you may check whether purge removes data at /var/lib/mysql | 16:38 |

| ivanowitch | Hi. My power management is behaving rather funny... When i plug in the power, it starts running on AC, but after a few minutes it suddenly changes to discharging the battery, and both the battery and the power led starts flashing. I am sure it has somehthing to do with acpi, but sudo dpkg-reconfigure acpid doesn't solve the problem :( Anyone got a suggestion to what might help? | 16:44 |
| ShiftyPowers | anyone know how to make a samba client be able to follow symlinks on a samba share? | 16:44 |
| stefg | g00se: install openssh-server in the live system and use ssh | 16:44 |
| stefg | !info sshfs | g00se | 16:45 |
| ubotu | g00se: sshfs: filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7-2.1 (gutsy), package size 34 kB, installed size 120 kB | 16:45 |
| stefg | gah | 16:45 |
| g00se | ubotu: That mean i can actually export/mount rather than ssh? | 16:45 |
| bazhang | ubotu is a bot you know "} | 16:46 |
| g00se | Doh! | 16:46 |
| Oli`` | lies! ubotu is people! | 16:46 |
| g00se | (I'm normally on #debian) | 16:46 |
| stefg | g00se: ssh-server provides a sftp server as well, so you van use nautilus' 'connect to server' on the client system | 16:47 |
| bullgard4 | ivanowitch: Report error messages at that time in /var/log/syslog. | 16:47 |
| kaleh | has anybody read the latest issue (#7) of Full-Circle? | 16:47 |
| isthatall | 2 issues with gutsy after upgrade: a)system will not cleanly reboot, goes to black screen with blinking cursor, alt-sysreq-b required every time. b)keys seem to get "stuck" sometimes, for instance flipping the cube in compiz sometimes creates a whirl of cube spinning madness...any ideas here? | 16:47 |
| g00se | stefg: Actually the client is Debian, but i'm hoping that sshfs allows transparent networking using ssh, including normal mounting and exporting. Am i right? | 16:48 |
| soundray | bullgard4, ivanowitch: if you suspect an incompatibility between your laptop and Linux ACPI, it may help to recompile your ACPI DSDT with Intel's compiler iasl. | 16:48 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: I am reluctant as Feisty worked all right with the same DSDT. | 16:49 |
| stefg | g00se: doesn't matter... if you run konqueror or nautilus you'll be able to connect to the box running the live-system (using a pseudo-maount over ssh) | 16:49 |
| g00se | stefg: It would be Thunar in my case, but i could try it | 16:50 |
| soundray | bullgard4: I'm sticking to feisty on my work laptop, not least because of the various troubles you reported... | 16:50 |
| stefg | g00se: you need sshfs on the debian box with thunar... thunar has no builtin network browsing, so you need to do it on the fs level | 16:51 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: Another German guy who had the same Gutsy error reported that he got rid of it by installing a swap partition. But I do have a swap partition. | 16:51 |
| soundray | bullgard4: is downgrading an option for you? You'd have to backup your data and reinstall... | 16:51 |
| soundray | bullgard4: how big is your swap? | 16:51 |
| g00se | stefg: Thought that could be the case. No problem - i work at the command line mostly anyway | 16:52 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: soundray My swap is about 1.1 gig | 16:52 |
| soundray | bullgard4: and your RAM is 1GB? | 16:52 |
| tapas | i wonder: where are the default UUIDs saved that update-grub uses? | 16:52 |
| ivanowitch | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46584/ is my guess of what the problem is... It seems that acpi clashes with something... | 16:52 |
| soundray | tapas: can you rephrase that? | 16:53 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: Yes, downgrading is an option. But I would wait with that and try some other measures before. | 16:53 |
| soundray | ivanowitch: consider booting with the 'pci=noacpi' option | 16:53 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: My RAM is 0.512 gig | 16:53 |
| soundray | bullgard4: is your swap in use? 'free' to check | 16:54 |
| g00se | stefg: is there a quick way on the live disk to start sshd? | 16:54 |
| ivanowitch | ok... err... how do i do that? | 16:54 |
| tapas | soundray: sure, when i run update-grub a new menu.lst is written | 16:55 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: Yes, it in use. It was in use in Feisty also. 'free' confirms that. | 16:55 |
| tapas | soundray: each entry for a kernel contains a root filesystem | 16:55 |
| tapas | soundray: in my case it's specified by UUID | 16:55 |
| tapas | soundray: i moved the root fs to a new hd, thus the labels don't match anymore | 16:55 |
| stefg | g00se: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 16:55 |
| tapas | i can hand edit menu.lst, but i'd rather get it right so it works allright at the next kernel uipdaete, too | 16:55 |

| |lidia| | how can i mount on fstab a new partitions an set it`s mount point to home | 16:57 |
| |lidia| | gparted wont let me set the mount point to home | 16:57 |
| stefg | tapas: inspect the comments in /boot/grub/menu.lst ... there are 'magical comments' , the one you are looking for starts with '#kopt' | 16:58 |
| danbhfive | gparted cant do that for you | 16:58 |
| tapas | stefg: heh ok :) | 16:58 |
| |lidia| | no | 16:58 |
| danbhfive | i dont think it handles mount points | 16:58 |
| bulmer | |lidia|-> mount point is just a directory..so manually moun it like mount /dev/hdaX /newhome | 16:58 |

| sidelil | sandaru1, i mean that under "port forwarding" in my router's preferences i said to direct to port 22 everything from that pc | 16:58 |
| jrib | |lidia|: move current /home to /home.backup first. Then create an empty /home. Update your fstab and reboot | 16:58 |
| Sharpie | is there a good program to manage the gnome panels? (like, move launchers around etc.) | 16:59 |
| soundray | tapas: you need to modify the # kopt=... line rather than the kernel lines themselves | 16:59 |
| danbhfive | |lidia| : I created a webpage explaining how to move your home | 16:59 |
| jrib | |lidia|: that's assuming you do not want to keep the files in your current /home | 16:59 |
| |lidia| | i had a windows partitions i formated it with gparted made it reiserfs and now i want to use it as a home partition | 16:59 |
| g00se | stefg: Thanks for all that | 16:59 |
| soundray | tapas: you may find "man update-grub" interesting | 16:59 |
| |lidia| | i want to be mounted on boot | 16:59 |
| Xplicit | im having a wierd problem with a firefox beta its not frozen up (100% usage) but its just stoped doing anything, is there a signal i can send it to kick it | 16:59 |
| jrib | |lidia|: fstab does that | 16:59 |
| tapas | soundray: i got it already.. thanks | 17:00 |
| bulmer | jrib-> mounting on top of an existing directory does not destroy or erase the existing one eh? | 17:00 |
| tapas | yeah i was looking for a FILES section in the update-grubmanpage | 17:00 |
| tapas | there was none ;) | 17:00 |
| |lidia| | i dont want to do mount /dev/sda1 /home every time i boot up | 17:00 |
| jrib | bulmer: hm? | 17:00 |
| tapas | i also wonder: why is my ide hd in the notebook called sda? | 17:00 |
| jrib | |lidia|: that is why you put it in your fstab | 17:00 |
| soulrider | soundray, i made it, just add a divides symbol and then rsup and rdub and thats it | 17:00 |
| stefg | g00se: np.. Ubuntu Desktop CD's aren't that much optimized for serving files out, so using knoppix for the task might be the right decision | 17:00 |
| xtknight | tapas, libata in new kernel made all ide devices appear as scsi | 17:00 |
| tech_ | hello guys | 17:00 |
| bulmer | jrib the need to move /home is not necessary noh? just to mount a partition on top of it.. | 17:00 |
| soundray | soulrider: well done | 17:00 |
| tech_ | got a question regarding ubuntu installation | 17:00 |
| danbhfive | !fstab > danbhfive | 17:01 |

| mixandgo | isn't firefox using the global dns ? | 17:01 |
| soundray | danbhfive: you can also do '/msg ubotu fstab' | 17:01 |
| stefg | tech | 17:01 |

| jrib | |lidia|: the easiest way to do this thing is in recovery mode. But you aren't being very clear about what you want to happen to the files in your old /home | 17:02 |
| LjL | !flash > Condoulo (Condoulo, see the private message from Ubotu) | 17:02 |
| bulmer | dinop007-> did you look around ~/.mozilla ? | 17:02 |
| soundray | dinop007: 'locate cookies.txt | grep $USER' | 17:03 |
| tech_ | yes auto that means | 17:03 |

| somedude | I did that, changed drivers, searched internet for updated drivers, all was working before update | 17:21 |
| freqk | hey | 17:21 |
| LjL | linux4909: everything points to Ubuntu | 17:21 |
| tonyyarusso | linux4909: well, considering it's leftyb's site, I'd say Ubuntu without even looking | 17:22 |
| freqk | I'm actually looking for a Waffles.fm invitation. I already got a STMusic and What.cd account. | 17:22 |

| mikebeecham | Hi...if anyone know a lot about twinview and metamode settings, then I would REALLY appreciate a conversation about now :( | 17:23 |
| linux4909 | is that a repo in ubunto or do i download it? | 17:23 |
| LjL | linux4909: it's a dock, there are a few, and some are broken too, but you can make something like that with a pretty standard gnome panel as well | 17:23 |
| soundray | mikebeecham: you asked a good question before. Now you've asked a poor one. | 17:23 |
| tim__ | somedude: try looking for a backup of the xorg.conf or change the xorg.conf to play nice with the new drivers would be my guess | 17:24 |
| tonyyarusso | soundray: no, he means the accelerated dock thing | 17:24 |
| linux4909 | so do i find it in System menu or do i download and install something in terminal? | 17:24 |
| ragnar__ | hey ppl | 17:24 |
| mikebeecham | soundray...I'm stressing out here..I DONT need a smart comment from you...if you can help then I would appreciate you being quiet | 17:24 |

| bmod | did anyone ever have the problem where the nvidia driver seemed to vanish after a reboot? | 17:25 |
| ragnar__ | can someone pls reset me irc passwrd? | 17:25 |
| tonyyarusso | ragnar__: #freenode for that | 17:25 |
| soundray | mikebeecham: I'm giving you good advice about how to make use of IRC, which is to ask your original question again. | 17:25 |
| ragnar__ | 10x | 17:25 |
| somedude | can I change to a saved xorg.conf without hosing things up? | 17:25 |

| LjL | somedude, err, xorg.conf - yes | 17:25 |

| somedude | LjL, the last security update caused horizontal gray ghost bars on my display, any thoughts? | 17:26 |
| tim__ | somedude: Ctrl+F1 gives you a cli so you can fix any errors in the xorg , so just play around a bit | 17:26 |
| soundray | <mikebeecham> hey guys...can I get some advice about twinview...at the moment (within nVidia settings) I have twinview setup...when I maximise a window, it maximises to both windows...how can I set a window to only maximise to the monitor it is sitting in? | 17:26 |
| tonyyarusso | r00723r0: You shouldn't have to do anything different - a link only needs read privlidges anyway | 17:26 |
| soundray | much better ^^ | 17:26 |
| LjL | somedude: never heard of yet. report a bug | 17:26 |

| LjL | !bugs > somedude (somedude, see the private message from Ubotu) | 17:27 |
| r00723r0 | so if i right click and select Make Links it won't do anything | 17:27 |
| mikebeecham | As well as that...when I maximse a window, it spans across two monitors, where it used to just maximise in the monitor it was sitting in...how can I change this? | 17:27 |
| somedude | Tim, LjL- Thanks for the help!! | 17:28 |
| tim__ | good luck | 17:28 |
| tonyyarusso | r00723r0: err, I'm not even sure how to make links graphically, to be honest. I've only done it with ln. | 17:28 |
| tim__ | anyone know why there is not an automated rootkit killer on the ubuntu live cd? | 17:28 |
| linux4909_ | hello | 17:28 |
| linux4909_ | im back. | 17:28 |
| linux4909_ | i lost my connection | 17:28 |
| LjL | tim__, uh, there is no such thing as a (reliable, at least) "rootkit killer" | 17:28 |
| linux4909_ | i was the person asking about the menu panel at the bottom of the screen | 17:28 |
| * mafsi is away: I'm not here now | 17:28 | |
| linux4909_ | ljl as helping me | 17:29 |
| breakerfall | this distro has, quite possibly, the worst installation I've ever seen. It simply stinks. | 17:29 |
| LjL | !away > mafsi (mafsi, see the private message from Ubotu) | 17:29 |
| r00723r0 | tonyyarusso, aye, how would i choose all folders in a directory (all those that don't end with for example *.txt) and link them to my desktop? | 17:29 |
| ankur | hellow i again say how i change my screen ret 65 to 85???? | 17:29 |
| LjL | breakerfall, got a question, or simply want to moan? | 17:29 |
| linux4909_ | did someone say ubuntu is the worst install ever? | 17:29 |
| breakerfall | simply want to moan... | 17:29 |
| linux4909_ | how do i talk AT someone and make their name yellow? | 17:30 |
| LjL | breakerfall: then #ubuntu-offtopic please | 17:30 |
| bmod | where can i remove 'graphics autodetection' stuff that happens at startup | 17:30 |
| breakerfall | I've finally installed, but now it won't load a GUI | 17:30 |
| zax | in XChat to hide the join / parted messages right click on the channel name and deselect it | 17:30 |
| mikebeecham | would someone mind looking at this pastebin of my xorg.conf and tell me what I'm doing wrong? | 17:30 |
| mikebeecham | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46590/ | 17:30 |
| tim__ | cant it just check the crc of the files on the install with the correct version off the net? | 17:30 |
| breakerfall | it hangs on boot, I assume, when trying to start x | 17:30 |
| breakerfall | yet the live cd displayed fine. | 17:30 |
| tonyyarusso | r00723r0: As in you want links on the desktop _to_ them I assume? | 17:30 |
| r00723r0 | yes | 17:30 |
| crdlb | mikebeecham: why not use twinview? | 17:31 |
| LjL | breakerfall: can you reach a terminal by hitting Alt+F1? | 17:31 |
| LjL | or Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 17:31 |
| mikebeecham | crdlb: I am trying to...but for some reason no changes I make in nvidia settings stick | 17:31 |
| breakerfall | I selected ubuntu for my parents computer because it's supposed to be easy to install and use :( | 17:31 |
| codered_ | Hello, i want to make ubuntu as router/server, i dont know from where to start!, any help would be appreciated , Thanx | 17:31 |
| breakerfall | LjL, no, the computer hangs. | 17:31 |
| mikebeecham | crdlb: everything was fine until I switched on this morning and all my graphics were haywire | 17:31 |
| LjL | breakerfall: start in recovery mode then, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg », and select "vesa" as the display driver, then try booting normally | 17:32 |
| crdlb | mikebeecham: hmm I dunno :( but that's definitely not how you set up twinview. Twinview uses only one screen | 17:32 |
| feld | Has anyone here successfully installed Ubuntu over the network mounting the DVD into an /ubuntu web directory and SUCCESSFULLY used it as the mirror? | 17:32 |
| breakerfall | LjL, I'll give it a try, thanks. | 17:32 |
| tonyyarusso | r00723r0: a sec - I need to test some guesses | 17:32 |
| kbrooks | codered_, it's not very complicated | 17:32 |
| mikebeecham | crdlb: the other thing is...I dont want screens to maximise across two screens...just the screen of the monitor it is sitting in | 17:32 |
| linux4909_ | hey, can someone tell me what it's called and i'll google it? | 17:32 |
| r00723r0 | tonyyarusso, ok, thank you very much :) | 17:33 |
| Cactehe_ | feld: i have installed ubuntu with unetbootin | 17:33 |
| linux4909_ | it's the task panel thing with the apps at the bottom like mac os | 17:33 |
| linux4909_ | http://leftyfb.left-click.org/images/desktop20070506.jpg | 17:33 |
| ubuntu123 | Hi is there a decent manpage reader about (other then typing man <program> | 17:33 |
| tim__ | codered_: grab an ubuntu cd, install it, install your server /routing tools, :) | 17:33 |
| rpj8 | Hey guys, trying to move photos from my ~ directory to a mounted drive in /media... I get this error: mv: cannot stat `2007-1*': No such file or directory | 17:34 |
| tim__ | codered_: what do you want the server to do? | 17:34 |
| feld | Cactehe_: that downloads the packages over the internet though, not from your local network | 17:34 |
| bmod | i have a problem | 17:34 |
| bmod | my headache won't get away | 17:34 |
| rafal | help... my freshly installed ubuntu fails to log in | 17:34 |
| rafal | into gnome | 17:34 |
| ubuntu123 | I'm looking for something that would show my man pages in an html pretty format | 17:34 |
| LjL | ubuntu123: on kubunt, you can just type man:/name in Konqueror, on GNOME dunno | 17:34 |
| jrib | rpj8: paste the full command | 17:34 |
| bro_man | zax: Thank You ! | 17:35 |
| linux4909_ | Hello all. | 17:35 |
| linux4909_ | i have a question. | 17:35 |
| tim__ | rpj8: are you using CLI? | 17:35 |
| ubuntu123 | LjL, using xfce here :) | 17:35 |
| wressle | I'll try to ask again, can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere. Can I remove the desktop icons from Metacity? I don't want any icons messing up my workspace. | 17:35 |
| juano_1 | rafal: any error messages ? | 17:35 |
| cro | hay guys, in Ubuntu I seem to be unable to upload files or images on websites, any clue why? | 17:35 |
| * ubuntu123 just likes Xfce more then the others... no real reason | 17:35 | |
| soundray | mikebeecham: there are instructions for how to set up twinview via xorg.conf in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.txt.gz | 17:35 |
| ubuntu123 | thanks though :) | 17:35 |
| LjL | ubuntu123: then even less of a clue, try asking in #xubuntu | 17:35 |
| rpj8 | jrib tim__: ah wait... it seems it did mv the folders when I tried the command the first time with 'sudo' in front | 17:35 |
| ubuntu123 | alrighty | 17:35 |
| tonyyarusso | r00723r0: Do any of the filenames contain spaces or other characters that need escaping? | 17:35 |
| r00723r0 | tonyyarusso, yes | 17:35 |
| r00723r0 | most all of them | 17:36 |
| rpj8 | jrib tim__ : even though it said a bunch of permission denied | 17:36 |
| tim__ | wressle: yes i have done that | 17:36 |
| tonyyarusso | r00723r0: bummer. /me keeps trying | 17:36 |
| soundray | mikebeecham: maybe the issue with nvidia-settings not sticking is a permissions thing -- do you start it with gksudo? | 17:36 |
| linux4909_ | hey im out, i didnt get much help but thanx ljl for trying. | 17:36 |
| r00723r0 | haha thanks a lot man | 17:36 |
| wressle | tim__: Cool, do you remember how you did it? All my files in ~ end up at the Desktop right now... | 17:36 |
| soundray | mikebeecham: also, see in /etc/X11/ whether there are files other than xorg.conf which might be in use in its place | 17:36 |
| mikebeecham | soundray: no sudo | 17:36 |
| tim__ | rpj8: mv dilikes spaces so put it in quotes? | 17:36 |
| bmod | how can i have my driver setting stick, so it's exactly as i have it now when i reboot? | 17:37 |
| knick | Hello everyone, I just installed ubuntu. I have 2 monitors, but ubuntu shows up in the wrong monitor.. I have 2 video cards in my pc.. How can I change that? | 17:37 |
| soundray | !gksu | mikebeecham | 17:37 |
| ubotu | mikebeecham: 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) | 17:37 |
| tim__ | wressle: why are all your files on the deskyop? | 17:37 |
| soundray | mikebeecham: not sure whether that ^^ is at the root of your issue, though | 17:37 |
| wressle | Not a clue, I get icons for my files in ~ on my desktop in Metacity. | 17:37 |
| breakerfall | LjL, that doesn't work | 17:37 |
| mikebeecham | soundray: ...will restart X and see what happens...I have just made some changes in nvidia-settings based on that | 17:38 |
| mikebeecham | thanks | 17:38 |
| tim__ | wressle: I think it was in configuration editor somewhere... | 17:38 |
| LjL | breakerfall: doesn't work because it still hangs, or doesn't work because the command doesn't work? | 17:38 |
| feld | I can successfully install the base system over the network, but the when I choose "OpenSSH Server" and "Ubuntu Desktop" it fails saying "Installation Step Failed" which makes no sense -- all the packages it needs in the exact same place it has been looking for them the whole time.... | 17:38 |
| rpj8 | tim__: Well see I'd tried the command without sudo at first... and it said permission denied on preserving time and setting permissions | 17:38 |
| breakerfall | LjL, the command doesn't work... | 17:38 |
| rpj8 | tim__: But it seemed to move all the files anyway | 17:38 |
| LjL | breakerfall: well what does it complain about? | 17:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !dosentwork | 17:38 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dosentwork - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:38 |
| knick | !2 video cards | 17:39 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 2 video cards - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:39 |
| breakerfall | LjL, a warning that I'm overwriting the config | 17:39 |
| knick | ;x | 17:39 |
| LjL | !dualhead > knick (knick, see the private message from Ubotu) | 17:39 |
| bmod | does ubuntu try to detect my graphics settings when i boot up? | 17:39 |
| breakerfall | but it doesn't ask me for any inputy | 17:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | It would help if I could spell this am | 17:39 |
| breakerfall | It doesn't give me a list of drivers to select | 17:39 |
| codered_ | <tim__> the server is to be firewall plus router | 17:39 |
| LjL | breakerfall, try without the "-phigh" then (it will ask many questions then, the defaults should be fine however) | 17:39 |
| bullgard4 | [Launchpad] Status in the Status line at the beginning of a Bug page may take the values New, Incomplete, Confirmed, Triaged, InProgress, FixCommitted. Where can I find definitions or official interpretations of these values? | 17:39 |
| tim__ | rpj8: thats normal for non ex3 file systems | 17:39 |
| knick | Hmm yea LjL, but actually i want the monitor which is active now.. to.. not be on | 17:40 |
| LjL | bullgard4, i suggest you try asking in #ubuntu-bugs | 17:40 |

| TitraxX | Hi | 17:40 |
| bullgard4 | LjL: I will give it a try. Thank you. | 17:40 |
| SoulChild | HI ALL! How must i configure grub to load vista from my extended device /dev/sda5 ??? | 17:40 |
| breakerfall | LjL, still no joy | 17:41 |
| breakerfall | I'm not in a proper terminal environment | 17:41 |
| breakerfall | I select the "Execute a shell in /dev/hdaX" option | 17:41 |
| TitraxX | Who use xchat ? | 17:42 |
| tim__ | codered_: well ubuntu is overkill for that but all you need is iptables or firestarter(GUI) | 17:42 |
| soundray | SoulChild: there is a sample section for loading Windows in /boot/grub/menu.lst. Use (hd0,4) to refer to /dev/sda5 in grubspeak. | 17:42 |
| tim__ | codered_: why not just use a router for that? | 17:42 |
| soundray | SoulChild: I don't think it'll work, though. Windows expects to be on a primary partition (at least it used to) | 17:43 |
| tim__ | codered_: most run linux anyway | 17:43 |
| SoulChild | soundray: i then get an error message cause the extended partition has no boot flag | 17:43 |
| soundray | SoulChild: you can set a boot flag with sudo cfdisk | 17:43 |
| cro | so anyway, I've tried looking on various websites as to why uploading files to megaupload/other filehosting sites doesn't work in ubuntu, but w | 17:43 |
| cro | er | 17:43 |
| kiamo | yo, I plugged my usb stick into my machine but im not sure where to look to see if it auto mounted... | 17:43 |
| cro | but works fine in Vista | 17:43 |
| kiamo | i just have a command line | 17:43 |
| bofh80 | TitraxX, a lot of people, ask away your questions | 17:43 |
| kiamo | any ideas? | 17:44 |
| cro | it's not an internet problem, this I've deduced | 17:44 |
| rpj8 | Alrighty. Second question: apparently 99% of my / is taken up. How do I check which folder is being a hog | 17:44 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: it should appear on desktop, if not just go to computer | 17:44 |
| TitraxX | bofh80, i have problem with auto replace fonction | 17:44 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: and try to double click it there | 17:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rpj8: /var/cache/apt/archives | 17:44 |
| kiamo | i just have a cli... | 17:44 |
| soundray | rpj8: first stop is to run 'sudo apt-get autoclean' (clears out the package cache of outdated .debs) | 17:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rpj8: burn everything in that folder to a cd or dvd.. then clean out the folder | 17:45 |
| TitraxX | i want to remplace "c'ets" by "cest" but doesn't work :/ | 17:45 |
| bofh80 | TitraxX, i don't use that specific function, ask the room, i generally start with Hi people . . . . :) | 17:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | soundray: I prefer to burn them so I dont need to dl them again | 17:45 |
| rpj8 | Jack_Sparrow: That doesn't sound very productive at all | 17:45 |
| soundray | Jack_Sparrow: the ones that autoclean deletes will never be downloaded again, anyway | 17:45 |
| tim__ | kiamo: ls -al /media/ | 17:45 |
| technel | Hi. I am purchasing a keyboard/mouse and I want one that is going to work well with Ubuntu. I am probably going to go with the Logitech MX Revolution Cordless, but I was wondering if there were any suggestions for keyboards with good support in Ubuntu | 17:46 |
| rpj8 | soundray: alright, it seemed to only remove one package | 17:46 |
| TitraxX | bofh80, ok | 17:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rpj8: What do you mean not productive.. It will free up space and save you dl time later | 17:46 |
| ivanowitc1 | Hi... my laptop is having some power management problems. When i boot with the power cable connected, it works fine for a few minutes, but then it starts running on the battery, and both the power and the battery led starts flashing... I have tried booting with pci=noacpi, but that didn't solve the problem. paste of /var/log/syslog on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46594/ | 17:46 |
| rpj8 | Jack_Sparrow: Because I kind of doubt my apt cache is taking up 99% of my disk space. | 17:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !hardware | technel | 17:46 |
| ubotu | technel: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 17:46 |
| kiamo | just cdrom and cdrom0 and floppy and floppy0, theres nothing in them | 17:46 |
| kiamo | also its a windows usbstick, i need to format it... | 17:47 |
| soundray | rpj8: to find the largest folders, do a 'du / | sort -n >/tmp/dusortn ; tail -n 30 /tmp/dusortn' (takes a few minutes) | 17:47 |
| LjL | breakerfall, i'm not sure i know how to help you further | 17:47 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: go to places ----> Computer | 17:47 |
| tonyyarusso | r00723r0: This is stretching my bash skills, but I think I'm getting somewhere :P | 17:47 |
| local | Hello there | 17:47 |
| breakerfall | LjL, I used another method to change the xorg.conf to vesa | 17:47 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: it doesn't appear there after you connect it ? | 17:47 |
| r00723r0 | haha ok | 17:47 |
| ivanowitc1 | Personally I think the problem is in lines 57-58, but that is just a guess... | 17:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rpj8: It sucked up a ton of mine... then I did the same with sources I had downloaded freed up close to 10 gigs | 17:47 |
| breakerfall | however, it still hangs | 17:47 |
| kiamo | juano_1: nope :( | 17:47 |
| local | can i setup a RAID1 array on gutsy with two vfat IDE hard drive (sdb and sdc) | 17:48 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: what filesystem is it fat ? | 17:48 |
| kiamo | not sure.. | 17:48 |
| rpj8 | soundray: I'm not sure I understand some up the parts of that command. Doesn't ubuntu come with a gui disk usage program? | 17:48 |
| kiamo | i think its fat32 | 17:48 |
| kiamo | im just guessing tho | 17:48 |
| mulima | hi | 17:48 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: should show up ... works in win or other OS ? | 17:48 |
| kiamo | yup in windows | 17:48 |
| rpj8 | Jack_Sparrow: I see I see. | 17:48 |
| Winball | how much ram is supported in 32bit and 64bit? | 17:48 |
| PirateHead | Ubuntu keeps reporting a fake CD in my drive and trying to read from it, which results in constant error messages and garbage being sent to dmesg. Can anybody help me figure out how to stop it? Pastebin of dmesg | tail : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46581/ | 17:48 |
| rpj8 | Jack_Sparrow: I definitely don't know enough about Ubuntu yet =p | 17:48 |
| LjL | breakerfall, then it's likely not X. check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/boot and /var/log/kern.log from recovery mode, see what's done last during boot before it hangs | 17:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rpj8: we are here to help.. | 17:49 |
| kiamo | i just plugged it into the front of the pc, i could go down and stick it in the back... | 17:49 |
| tim__ | kiamo: ls -1 /dev/hd* | 17:49 |
| scguy318 | Winball: 32-bit: 3GB/1GB user/kernel, 64-bit way more than I could count :P | 17:49 |
| mulima | i have a pbm about frequence scaling .. cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq => 2267000 and cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq => 800000 ... so i'm always at the lowest freq ... impossible to switch to higher freq | 17:49 |
| tim__ | kiamo: ls -1 /dev/sd* | 17:49 |
| TitraxX | Who use auto replace in xchat ? | 17:49 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: yep good idea | 17:49 |
| kiamo | shouldnt matter tho... i just cant remember if i plugged in those ports when i built the system | 17:49 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: to make sure plug it in the back | 17:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rpj8: If you are 99% full you need to make space SOON.. | 17:49 |
| rpj8 | Jack_Sparrow: Is there anywhere I could read up about how apt stores its cache | 17:49 |
| kiamo | yea | 17:49 |
| kiamo | brb | 17:49 |
| soundray | rpj8: I use command line programs for practically everything, and that's how I can help. I don't know about any GUI programs that would address your problem. | 17:50 |
| kiamo | gotta go back down to the cupboard under the stairs lol | 17:50 |
| Winball | so 32bit will only read about 3GB? | 17:50 |
| rpj8 | Jack_Sparrow: There in-lies the problem. I'm not sure WHERE all my space has gone | 17:50 |
| soundray | rpj8: 'man du', 'man sort' and 'man tail' will tell you what the commands I suggested do. | 17:50 |
| rpj8 | soundray: gotcha | 17:50 |
| tim__ | kiamo: then check to see it there is voltage (4v) on the port | 17:50 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: hehe | 17:50 |
| DreamLiner | hi, i rebooted my hp dv6000 with kubuntu gutsy and when it booted, the display resolution went back to only 800x600 and wireless adapter was also gone from knetworkmanager. iwconfig shows wlan0, how do i fix it? | 17:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rpj8: there is a man page, but free up what you can now and then find what ate up all the space. If you goof while at 99% you will compound your problem | 17:51 |
| juano_1 | tim__ howd it go with wireless ? | 17:51 |
| bram_ | #ubuntu-nl | 17:51 |
| zax | piratehead is that a desktop or a server? | 17:51 |
| PirateHead | zax: It's on my laptop. | 17:51 |
| kiamo | juano_1: k its plugged into the back, and still not coming up in /media/ | 17:52 |
| PirateHead | zax: I'm running Gutsy desktop edition. | 17:52 |
| bullgard4 | Launchpad > Answers seems to me an alternative to existing mailing lists. Can you recommend a user guide for Launchpad > Answers. | 17:53 |
| bram_ | I have a Q about my xorg.conf.., every time i reboot it goes back to xorg.conf.failsafe | 17:53 |
| PirateHead | bullgard4: Answers is built for integration into the rest of the Launchpad platform, whereas email lists have a hard time answering. | 17:53 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: mm try dmesg | grep usb | 17:54 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: maybe shows up there | 17:54 |
| breakerfall | LjL, all of my log files are empty | 17:54 |
| breakerfall | any other ideas? | 17:54 |
| tim__ | kiamo: sudo mkdir /media/usbstick then sudo mount /dev/hdb1/ /media/usbstick | 17:54 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: if not, try sudo fdisk -l | 17:54 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: to see if it is there | 17:54 |
| breakerfall | I could have had gentoo installed on this machine by now :p | 17:54 |
| LjL | breakerfall, in that case the problem is *well* before X get started, i'd say...! do you even seen the splash screen? | 17:54 |
| bullgard4 | PirateHead: I do nit understand what do mean by "a hard time answering"? Please say it in other words. | 17:55 |
| kiamo | i think its showing up in dsmg | 17:55 |
| DreamLiner | kwifimanager shows my wireless network so i guess knetworkmanager went nuts... | 17:55 |
| breakerfall | LjL, yeah, the splash screen with the progress bar? | 17:55 |
| rpj8 | soundray: The most of it seems to be in /usr and /var | 17:55 |
| kiamo | not sure if its coming up in fdisk -l though | 17:55 |
| LjL | breakerfall: yes... the logs really shouldn't be empty if you see that :| | 17:55 |
| PirateHead | bullgard4: Sorry, I mistyped. I meant to say that mailing lists have a hard time integrating with Launchpad. | 17:55 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: sudo fdisk -l, remember the sudo | 17:56 |

| Lupin | does ubuntu support hotplugging for pcmcia devices? | 17:57 |
| PirateHead | zax: I assume that your Red Hat server uses different hardware than your Ubuntu one. Perhaps that has something to do wtih it. | 17:57 |

And it seems that card isn't easy to use yet, and requires manual setup each boot. ----- What would the best Creative soundcard I can use with Ubuntu 7.10 be, that I could use until XFI is out of beta? | 18:00 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: well try this | 18:00 |
| PirateHead | zax: That's too bad. I've been hoping I could get this to go away! | 18:01 |

| AdemoS | So if I wanted the best card available, that auto-detects in Ubunto 7.10, or at least has a stable driver for it, what would be the recommendation? | 18:02 |
| juano_1 | kiamo: cool, well to format it you can use gparted or cfdisk | 18:02 |

| r00723r0 | tonyyarusso, wow, thanks man | 18:03 |
| NotSoGutsy | anybody know any reasons why I would have 20-35 second pings to my router, when it's normally 0,20-0,25 milliseconds ? | 18:03 |

| demon_spork | r00723r0?? | 18:03 |
| soundray | rpj8: I see you are storing large backup files in /var/backup -- probably best to transfer those to another place (ideally away from your computer). Then you can delete them from /var/backup/ | 18:03 |
| r00723r0 | demon_spork, yes? | 18:03 |
| demon_spork | do I know yoiu | 18:03 |
| demon_spork | do you play AA? | 18:03 |
| rpj8 | soundray: I see I see. | 18:04 |
| AdemoS | I don't mind if the soundcard using OpenAL or binary drivers, I just watn to know if there's any quality sound card that's proven to work with Ubuntu 7.10 | 18:04 |
| juano_1 | NotSoGutsy: maybe your checking wrong it has to be 20 - 35 ms | 18:04 |
| demon_spork | r00723r0, do you play America's Army? | 18:04 |
| rab | Why doesn't my Ubuntu 7.10 release have Autoconf???? | 18:04 |
| demon_spork | rab, because it needs to be installed | 18:05 |
| r00723r0 | demon_spork, used to, and you're from IMF 2.5 | 18:05 |
| demon_spork | yep | 18:05 |
| demon_spork | we moved to 2.8.2 | 18:05 |
| kbrooks | rab, Ubuntu is intended for the desktop user. | 18:05 |
| r00723r0 | nice to see you :) | 18:05 |
| rpj8 | soundray: Just curious: I don't know that I ever told it to make backups regularly... is there any reason Ubuntu does it on its own? | 18:05 |
| AdemoS | so no soundcard recommendations? | 18:05 |

| soundray | rpj8: :) no need to swear... | 18:06 |
| demon_spork | rab, most of what you need is available from the ubuntu repository, so you don't need to compile from source most of the time | 18:07 |
| NotSoGutsy | juano_1 :: I have around 25+ second lag here too | 18:07 |
| demon_spork | rab, what exactly are you needing right now? | 18:07 |
| r00723r0 | demon_spork, you know, it's kinda hard to argue with a bunch of idiots | 18:07 |
| rpj8 | soundray: My bad. didn't know that was a swear. I suppose there's some weird cron entry that's backing up my system once ina while...? | 18:07 |
| juano_1 | NotSoGutsy: mmm... are you wired ? | 18:07 |
| juano_1 | NotSoGutsy: or wireless ? | 18:07 |
| demon_spork | r00723r0, that was 2.5, if you play 2.8.2 they accept you if you haven't been banned by ACI basically | 18:07 |
| r00723r0 | demon_spork, too bad icculus gave up support for AA a couple of years ago | 18:08 |
| NotSoGutsy | yes | 18:08 |
| juano_1 | NotSoGutsy: wired ? | 18:08 |
| rab | I wanted a 'CallerID' program, and the only ones I found need to be build! Seems to me the Ubuntu release should give you all the latest stuff to do builds with... IMHO | 18:08 |
| NotSoGutsy | I have tried power-cycling the router, the switch, and the modem, to no effect | 18:08 |
| NotSoGutsy | juano_1 :: restarting my own machine fixes it for a few hours, but then it stops again | 18:08 |
| juano_1 | NotSoGutsy: check your cable, it might be bad | 18:08 |
| soundray | rpj8: if you do a 'grep GettinJiggyWiddit /tmp/dusortn', you will see a list of backups that there were, and when they were done | 18:08 |
| NotSoGutsy | juano_1 :: yes, wired | 18:09 |
| NotSoGutsy | juano_1 :: on CAT6e, I think, to a gigabit switch, if that matters | 18:09 |
| jrib | !compile > rab (read the private message from ubotu) | 18:09 |

| bullgard4 | Danker: I have done that once last year myself. | 19:00 |
| filleokus | Hello. I have a ubuntu server / HTPC. I want to controll some apps that need graphical interfaces (i know of ssh and so, but i rly need graphical soulutions this time). The problem is that i have to config them while some other ppl is looking at a movie, so basicly i need two desktops, one for local display (the tv) and one for remote uses. Can i do this? | 19:00 |
| Xsss4hell | yes, I switched to v4l2 but that didn't do anything.. | 19:00 |
| Danker | I have debian stable server, and I want to have ubuntu one | 19:00 |

| nathan42100 | yes | 19:02 |
| dooglus | Xsss4hell: the only apps I've found it to work nicely with are mjpg-streamer (which makes the cam's image available on the web) and luvcview, which lets you play with the params, and record .avi movies | 19:02 |
| robdeman | hi folks.. help! I just installed KDE and then removed it again.. but now my Ubuntu box does not boot up with the Gnome desktop anymore! Just a login prompt... what to do?? | 19:02 |

| bullgard4 | nathan42100: ACPI is a software layer between BIOS and operating system. | 19:03 |

| Xsss4hell | dooglus there is no big difference | 19:07 |
| crdlb | zcat[1]: that should be set up by default, if it doesn't work and you don't want to fix it, gnome-screenshot can take screenshots on a delay | 19:07 |

| robdig | macksting: what is your question? | 19:25 |
| brobostigon | i have added to this paste the output from dmesg, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46617/ | 19:25 |
| stefg | Joss: enter make and model of your wifi adapter followed by ubuntu into google. | 19:25 |
| macksting | Robdig: Well, to be honest, I can't figure out how to get files from CVS. The program helpfully throws me an unhelpful list of commands. | 19:25 |
| Joss | Am using a dell TrueMobile 1150 with orinoco drivers. From what I have researched, these should be compatible. | 19:25 |
| macksting | For instance, what on earth is the repository? | 19:26 |
| guyvdb_ | I messed up my sound by trying to compile alsa (1.0.15 driver, lib and utils) I have uninstalled (sudo make uninstall) but need to know which deb's to install to get drivers, libs and utils for 1.0.14 that comes with Ubuntu 7.10. | 19:26 |
| dooglus | macksting: the repository is the database holding all the versions of the source files | 19:26 |
| robdig | macksting: the repository is where the software lives | 19:26 |
| maddog39 | omg ive been to 4 channels and ignored in every one of them :/ | 19:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | maddog39: Perhaps attitude is a factor | 19:27 |
| robdig | macksting: for example, if you want to compile foo from source for some reason, you would connect to foo's source repository and down load what you want | 19:27 |
| stefg | Joss: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3836154 | 19:27 |
| maddog39 | Jack_Sparrow, i havent said anything till now but im agrivated and just want a little suggestion, anything | 19:27 |
| macksting | So I'd want to download from an existing repository. And none of the commands seem to indicate how to do that. Not to my dense, aggravated mind, anyway. | 19:27 |
| Ssam | can you use bluetooth adapter to detect a wifi? | 19:28 |

| Ssam | Can you use a bluetooth dongle to detect a wifi? | 19:29 |
| macksting | PriceChild: I'm trying to get GearHead to run. Jedi-SDL doesn't seem to exist in apt's stuff or Synaptic, but a forum user got the latest version from CVS. I'd download it from the website, but the website doesn't seem to have a version for Debian. | 19:29 |
| macksting | So I'm trying to get Jedi-SDL from CVS. | 19:29 |
| Cherubael | PriceChild: How would I know? I can't get to that location from Terminal, if that's any help | 19:29 |
| macksting | Dooglus says "checkout"'s the command I want for that. | 19:30 |

| btard | where do I find the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable? | 19:30 |
| PriceChild | Cherubael, well the webcam outputs to a file called /dev/video0 most probably, and its always a good start to ensure you can read it | 19:30 |
| deal_ | Anyone can tell me how I can mount a *.UIF file? Do believe it's a ISO of some sort. | 19:30 |
| Joss | stefg: everything is detected ok, and i can get a connection without security, but i cannot connect with wpa encryption. The thread you sent doesn't seem to apply. | 19:31 |
| axel_s | hi, i'd like to find out what package a certain file belongs to... | 19:31 |
| soundray | btard: how do you mean "find"? You can enter 'echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to see if it's set. | 19:31 |
| PriceChild | Cherubael, so just "sudo chown <username> /dev/video0" before you try using it | 19:31 |
| Cherubael | PriceChild: If i'm looking in the right place (/dev) the file doesn't exist. Will it be created? | 19:31 |
| Ssam | Can u use a bluetooth dongle to connect to a wifi? | 19:31 |
| btard | its blank when I do that | 19:31 |
| PriceChild | Cherubael, /dev/video0 definitely doesn't exist? | 19:31 |
| === karolis is now known as Ksft | ||
| Cherubael | PriceChild: I'm looking in /dev right now; No video0 | 19:31 |
| PriceChild | Cherubael, modprobe gspca | 19:31 |
| btard | so I assume it isn't set. The code I am trying to install wants me to add it to the "~/.profile". where is that? | 19:32 |
| soundray | btard: then it's not set. You can set it for a shell session with 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/your/path/' | 19:32 |
| PriceChild | Cherubael, that command forces the modem's kernel module to load | 19:32 |
| pervomaj | íåóäà÷íèêè | 19:32 |
| stefg | Joss: oh, i see. it's not that you have no connection, just the wpa bugs out... hmm, read something about that you need some 'hermes' driver for it | 19:32 |
| Ssam | ugh futile | 19:32 |
| Cherubael | PriceChild: Ok done that | 19:32 |
| Ssam | can you use a blue tooth dongle to connect to a wifi? | 19:32 |
| PriceChild | Ssam, bluetooth != wifi | 19:32 |
| PriceChild | Ssam, you can make bluetooth <-> bluetooth network connections... | 19:32 |
| Ssam | PriceChild: okay how do i detect ongoing connections? | 19:32 |
| PriceChild | Cherubael, now does that file exist? | 19:33 |

| Jack_Sparrow | MikeH: Had to ask.. | 19:44 |
| Creationist | FurryNemesis: Okay, I see that. | 19:44 |
| rothchild | creationist it's because the AMR codec is not enabled by default | 19:44 |

| dooglus | rothchild: ok. enjoy your silent movies then :) I don't want a bunch installed either, but I guess the audio format is proprietary | 19:48 |
| FurryNemesis | Creationist, you have to expand with the down arrow on screen to get it - this is the only way to do it in compiz I think, it takes over your keybinds and yyou have to reassign them, that goes for mice too | 19:48 |
| PriceChild | dooglus, security updates make it in | 19:48 |
| stefg | MikeH: without any error message it's just guesswork. Usual suspects are' noacpi noapc nolapic' to see if you can get at least a meaningfull error | 19:48 |
| dooglus | PriceChild: yes, I know. but they generally don't up the version number - it'll usually look like you're still running the 'old' version, only it'll be patched with just the security updates | 19:49 |
| MikeH | stefg: so I just try each of those boot options then? | 19:49 |

| munk_ | i installed windows and then ubuntu and it boots up in windows without even prompting me...what do i do to boot in ubuntu? | 19:51 |
| Cherubael | PriceChild: Indeed, no video0 file | 19:51 |
| admiralthor | I lost power in the middle of a ubuntu install, and now my computer won't boot. I'm in the LiveCD and can't mount my Vista Partition, but i can mount my Dell partition and fubbed ubuntu partition. can someone help me? | 19:51 |
| Flannel | munk_: Sounds like you didn't install GRUB properly to the MBR, or you instlaled windows last. Follow the first link here: | 19:51 |
| Flannel | !grub | munk_ | 19:52 |
| ubotu | munk_: 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 | 19:52 |
| stefg | MikeH: indeed, that should read acpi=off noapic nolapic' | 19:52 |
| * stefg gives credit to soundray | 19:52 | |
| munk_ | Flannel i know that but i didnt installl grub...it shouldve installed by itself like it did on every machine i installed before....and i installed windows first... | 19:53 |
| rothchild | dooglas there's a fair bit in here: http://www.thisismobility.com/blog/?p=156 | 19:53 |
| dooglus | rothchild: i'll have a look later, thanks | 19:53 |
| Flannel | munk_: That is strange. I suppose theres a possibility it installed to a partition instead of MBR, or the wrong disk. Either way, those steps will work. | 19:53 |
| vvn | does it matter if my rootfs is at the beginning or the end of the drive? | 19:53 |
| arooni-mobile | hey folks! | 19:53 |
| soundray | stefg: acpi=off works, but cannot be recommended, really. pci=noacpi sometimes fixes issues without endangering critical functions like cooling. | 19:53 |
| dooglus | vvn: no | 19:53 |

| arooni-mobile | everytime i try to use that cool deskbar applet to search my /home directory..... i get no results... its like its not indexing my files....... can someone tell me how to fix? thanks! | 19:54 |
| dooglus | vvn: but put it on a primatry partition, not a logical/extended one | 19:54 |

| Thorsten11 | put video files and pics oon it | 20:07 |
| Flannel | K_Dallas: If that doesn't work, you might need to get down and dirty with xorg, but from what I've heard, people are having pretty good results with it. | 20:07 |
| Cherubael | kane77: Install Vista | 20:07 |
| Thorsten11 | any reason why you want ot fill up your hd? | 20:07 |

I'm about halfway done downloading with the i386 version. Can I use the i386 version or do I *need* to use the 64 bit version? | 20:15 |
| Dextorion | ferronica, yes there is | 20:15 |
| Flannel | TehGuy: They'll both work fine | 20:15 |
| woooosh | yup | 20:15 |
| TehGuy | so whats the big difference? | 20:15 |
| Thorsten11 | both are fine | 20:15 |
| homeskillit | spin clicking on my laptop hdd everthing runs no locking up ....just random spinning and clicking | 20:15 |
| Flannel | TehGuy: one is a 32bit OS, the other is 64bit | 20:15 |
| Thorsten11 | 64 is 64 bit and the other is 32 bit | 20:15 |
| robdig | ferronica: i use pop3... | 20:16 |
| TehGuy | :) I figured that, Flannel, but why would one have an advantage over another...? | 20:16 |

| ferronica | robdig: where do i find pop3 | 20:16 |
| Thorsten11 | in theory the 64 will be faster and support way more ram | 20:16 |
| ProN00b | can anyone recommend a sata dvd burner ? | 20:16 |
| TehGuy | alrighty then, i'll keep downloading the 64 bit version | 20:16 |
| semperfiguy | well, i am going to be giving arch linux a try now | 20:16 |
| juano_1 | Scunizi: it was plugged in before booting yes, and then i tried re-plugging it in | 20:16 |
| TehGuy | thanks | 20:17 |
| robdig | ferronica: just a sec... | 20:17 |
| Scunizi | juano_1, what kind of cam | 20:17 |

| Flannel | munk_: Do you know which partition linux thinks your root partition is? (sda1, sdb2, etc?) | 20:18 |
| Scunizi | juano_1, are you trying it with v4l or v4l2 | 20:18 |
| ferronica | robdig: ok | 20:18 |
| tommy` | Dextorion: grub error 17 | 20:18 |

| ferronica | robdig: server? | 20:18 |
| juano_1 | Scunizi: apparently ive noticed that these programs try to use v4l and not v4l2 ... it is a v4l2 cam for what it sais in dmesg | 20:19 |
| Thorsten11 | juano: i'm interested in this answer too | 20:19 |
| munk_ | Flannel i found it thanks... | 20:19 |
| robdig | ferronica: use what your isp says | 20:19 |
| Thorsten11 | i use pidgon | 20:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jvai: This is not the place for that discussion, but personally, I have no peoblem logging this channel. If I were on a porn/perv channel.. I would be concerned | 20:19 |

| Scunizi | juano_1, sorry I don't have an answer on this.. :( Web cams are finiky. you might load ekiga (gnomemeeting) and see if it works there using both types of connection (v4l & v4l2) | 20:19 |
| jvai | aah ok @ jack__ | 20:20 |
| robdig | ferronica: who is your isp? | 20:20 |
| Dextorion | tommy`, that means grub cant find a partition that is readable by grub. | 20:20 |

| jvai | ok | 20:23 |
| digitori | sorry folks thats my last commetn on irc bots as Im here for ubuntu | 20:23 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ferronica: If it is the one that came with your internet access.. it is fairly common not to use that and to use one NOT linked directly to you | 20:23 |
| munk_ | Flannel do you know what is the file that i have to edit so i have grub working fine? | 20:23 |
| juano_1 | Scunizi: ive tried compiling this and then modprobe it .. but no luck | 20:23 |
| Scunizi | juano_1, there's a couple of sites that might help.. sounds like you've found them. | 20:23 |
| jvai | ferronica, nooo! you've already purchased the account, what are the money back policies? | 20:24 |
| bro_man | digitori: ... but does it take our IP's thru a Tor and announce us with a Tor address ? | 20:24 |
| Dextorion | tommy` myeah.. glanced at them. looks okay to me. if the information is correct that is. | 20:24 |
| ferronica | jvai: i got this mail account with ISP | 20:24 |
| juano_1 | Scunizi: yea.. well this cam isn't real good at all i was thinkin of changing it if i really felt the need of a webcam | 20:24 |
| joey722 | is there a way to configure hotmail with kontact?? | 20:24 |
| jvai | ooo ok @ ferronica | 20:24 |
| digitori | bro_man you will only go through a tor server if your running tor | 20:24 |
| tommy` | Dextorion: could be a Bios problem? | 20:24 |
| Dextorion | tommy` take a look in your bios, and make sure your discs are set to AUTO. | 20:24 |
| smooker_ | hi all | 20:24 |
| Dextorion | tommy` yes | 20:24 |
| Thorsten11 | smooker: hello | 20:25 |
| Flannel | munk_: /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:25 |
| juano_1 | Scunizi: when it works it's not so great after all | 20:25 |
| ferronica | jvai: Unable to connect to POP server pop.mtnl.net.in. | 20:25 |
| ferronica | Error sending password: -ERR Authentication failed | 20:25 |
| Scunizi | joey722, from what i understand if you're using free hotmail, no. If you're paying for their service they give you pop access. | 20:25 |
| tommy` | Dextorion: is better load default option of bios? | 20:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joey722: not the free hotmail.. unless they added free pop to it | 20:25 |
| munk_ | Flannel thank you once again. | 20:25 |
| Scunizi | juano_1, time for research and then buy a new one. | 20:25 |
| juano_1 | Scunizi: yea | 20:25 |
| Dextorion | tommy` you probably have the option to set up where your discs actually are mounted in your computer. And those settings usually override how they actually are setup. and that could cause problems.. perhaps a long shot, i dont know. | 20:25 |
| digitori | bro-man only the machine that the bots on will be anounced as being through tor...not your machine | 20:25 |
| joey722 | ok | 20:25 |

| Scunizi | smooker, the 6600 is glx-new driver in synaptic. | 20:26 |
| jvai | ferronica, use the ip number instead of the dn, you using evolution? | 20:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | smooker_: that should be binary driver | 20:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | 6600 here too | 20:26 |

| valehru | Hey guys, is anyone else having problems with phpmyadmin? I'm getting a blank screen after the latest update | 21:08 |
| crzedmonk | so it is just a box of borderless text? | 21:08 |
| digitori | Dpic1 if you fix the mbr and can boot into your windows installs thats cool, I would still install ubuntu over all and run windows via Virtual machine...how many windows versions do you run? | 21:08 |
| snowdonke1 | Zoo2: You need to to use Twinview option | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !automatix | 21:08 |
| ubotu | automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rafal_: Then I would suggest a full reinstall | 21:08 |
| zimon | toshy_, maybe you need to set the codec, too. i can't remember from which file you can get it, but you can run alsamixer .. it's listed at the top, on the right side | 21:08 |
| digitori | DPic1 windows is best to be on your fist drive | 21:08 |
| rafal_ | Jack_Sparrow: so the thing recommended on ubuntu wiki is not recommnded?! what the hell | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rafal_: That is very lilely the cause of MANY of your issues | 21:08 |
| bruenig | rafal_, where is automatix in the wiki? | 21:08 |
| LjL | rafal_: indeed, where? | 21:09 |

| Megiddo | I have a dual screen setup with nvidia. I set the mode to separate x sessions, but how do I move windows between monitors? | 21:10 |
| zimon | toshy_, ah .. so you probably already tried that? | 21:10 |
| LjL | UbuntMe: i'd rather wait for an Ubuntu package. | 21:10 |
| bruenig | UbuntMe, you need to extract it, and read the README or INSTALL text files that come with it | 21:10 |
| toshy_ | yes | 21:10 |
| beerockxs | Megiddo: you don't, with seperate x seesions | 21:10 |
| rafal_ | hmm... so what should I do to watch the DVDs then | 21:10 |
| PeterT | I have installed Ubuntu Studio on my hard disk, dual booting with Vista. (Vista bootloader is configured to refer to linux partition (hd0,5) which contains the OS & grub installation). It worked for a time, but now I get an error early on boot that it cannot mount (hd0,5). It's possible that this problem appeared after attempting to use hibernate. | 21:10 |
| smookerPC1 | i was trying to gain cedega "sudo dpkg -i cedega_[version].de" but cannot access archive: No such file or directory | 21:10 |
| DPic1 | digitori, by switching the jumpers? | 21:10 |
| jimmygoon | UbuntMe, you can get prebuilt ubuntu pkgs for awn | 21:10 |
| Megiddo | beerockxs: The reason I can't use twinview is because they're at separate resolutions... so if I maximize a window parts are hidden. Is there any alternative? | 21:11 |
| jimmygoon | UbuntMe, google harder :P | 21:11 |
| smookerPC1 | deb* | 21:11 |
| naxa | hi! there was recently an ubdate in 7.10 kernel modules i think. since i updated my nvidia geforce2 mx 400 wont work. every reboot low graphics mode come up and i have to configure the monitor. after it starts with a new xorg.conf generated. i made the good one read-only since at every boot this happened. no matter. xorg.conf is not ok until i do not set everything in low graphics mode again. i thought maybe there is some problem with the modules | 21:11 |
| naxa | maybe. i use the nvidia driver, nv fails completely. also my computer suddenly reboots and freezez sometimes what didn't happened before the update. | 21:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !cedega | 21:11 |
| civiXier | can I boot a cd using grub command line? | 21:11 |
| 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 | 21:11 |
| digitori | DPic1: yeah switch the jumbers . | 21:11 |
| Dextorion | jsoftw, please feel free to tell me what you think of that email client when you've tried it for some time man. | 21:11 |
| beerockxs | Megiddo: I'm not really familiar with TwinView, but afaik windows should just maximize to the size of the screen you are maxmizing on | 21:11 |
| zimon | toshy_, what's your codec? i'm just curious .. i have a sigmatel stac9205 and that works well | 21:11 |
| ubun00b | could someone try to connect to me through ssh now? ip: 84.48.58.62 | 21:11 |
| ubun00b | hopefully it works... | 21:12 |
| Megiddo | beerockxs: With twinview it maximizes on both unfortunately | 21:12 |
| toshy_ | zimon, Codec: Analog Devices AD1981 | 21:12 |
| LjL | ubun00b: it won't connect | 21:12 |
| beerockxs | ubun00b: not wokring | 21:12 |
| DPic1 | digitori, alright thanks. will that mess up my ubuntu install? | 21:12 |
| naxa | sorry what i have to configure is not the monitor but the video driver | 21:12 |
| digitori | DPic1: the jumpers on the back of your drives...sorry didnt know if you knew | 21:12 |
| crzedmonk | so it is just a box of borderless text? | 21:12 |
| toshy_ | zimon, I think it's a realtek | 21:12 |
| crzedmonk | on terminal | 21:12 |
| ubun00b | damnit | 21:12 |
| DPic1 | digitori, yeah | 21:12 |
| palantor | Anyone know why agp=off won't stop the boot from looking for the video card there? | 21:13 |
| digitori | DPic1 only if you reinstall ubuntu but you could keep your home partition | 21:13 |
| rafal_ | ubun00b: timeout. | 21:13 |
| DPic1 | digitori okay thanks | 21:13 |
| llnk | can anyone help me out with my samba printing problem? here's the url: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=629654 | 21:13 |
| zimon | toshy_, no, analog devices is a separate codec, not a realtek | 21:13 |
| digitori | Dpic1: if you just installed ubuntu it wont matter, just go ahead and reinstall and get that grub on the mbr after youve swapped over your drives | 21:13 |
| UbuntMe | jimmygoon: how do i get the prebuilt? | 21:13 |
| DPic1 | ok thanks | 21:14 |
| digitori | Dpic1: then enjoy | 21:14 |

| PeterT | Apologies for repeating myself: I have installed Ubuntu Studio on my hard disk, dual booting with Vista. (Vista bootloader is configured to refer to linux partition (hd0,5) which contains the OS & grub installation). It worked for a time, but now I get an error early on boot that it cannot mount (hd0,5). It's possible that this problem appeared after attempting to use hibernate. The volume mounts with no fuss in a live CD. Can anyo | 21:15 |
| PeterT | ne give me any pointers? | 21:15 |
| MikeH | Where can I find an MD5 checksum for the latest x64 iso? And would this successfully let me find out if the download is somehow corrupted? | 21:16 |

| digitori | eyemean: will give a look later...bookmarked...cheers | 21:17 |
| LjL | smookerPC1: it's certainly not called cedega_[version].deb either... [version] means the actual version you're using. find out the actual file name. | 21:18 |
| rafal_ | is this a nown problem? E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-xconfig_1.0+20070502-1_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig', which is also in package nvidia-glx-new | 21:18 |

| aclark | IamReck: go to menu>system>prefs>sessions and add it there | 21:21 |
| IamReck | ty | 21:21 |
| ubotu | jarle: File dvbdev.h found in xen-doc-2.6.16 | 21:21 |
| ijn | aclark i don't need those two pc icon that u find in there | 21:21 |
| PeterT | digitori: I did successfully install / dual boot | 21:21 |
| ijn | I need the nm applet | 21:22 |
| PeterT | digitori: the problem emerged later, when everything seemed stable. | 21:22 |
| aclark | thats the network manager | 21:22 |
| smookerPC1 | but after i type it nothing happens | 21:22 |
| Odd-rationale | Is there a terminal command to test the speakers? | 21:22 |
| ijn | ok maybe Im looking for something else | 21:22 |
| bro_man | rafal_: I don't know if it's known for your 'amd64 7.10 ubuntu' version... but I have a problem with the Nvidia driver I added in, but my problem is more likely to be 'operator error'... as I was a little drunk and forgot to match all the neccesary data... | 21:22 |
| ijn | let me explain | 21:22 |
| PeterT | digitori: I'm reading the article now | 21:22 |
| crimsun | Odd-rationale: speaker-test(1) | 21:22 |
| smookerPC1 | i typed « ls cedega* | 21:22 |
| LjL | smookerPC1: then you simply don't have the cedega file. you better download it into the directory you're in. | 21:22 |
| smookerPC1 | " ls cedega* " | 21:23 |
| zimon | toshy_, did you try ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-card-options=hda-codec-analog? | 21:23 |
| digitori | PeterT: possible that its to do with grub not being on mbr | 21:23 |
| ijn | I need those two pc that let u change betwn wireless connestions | 21:23 |
| smookerPC1 | how do i donwnload it ? | 21:23 |
| LjL | smookerPC1: with a web browser? | 21:23 |
| Odd-rationale | crimsun: What should I hear? | 21:23 |
| LjL | or whatever? | 21:23 |
| PriceChild | smookerPC1, you pay for it at transgaiming.org | 21:23 |
| PeterT | digitori: sounds plausible | 21:23 |
| smookerPC1 | aw | 21:23 |
| Thuryn | sup? | 21:23 |
| toshy_ | zimon: no just ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel | 21:23 |
| smookerPC1 | ok.. | 21:23 |
| zimon | toshy_, that should configure your driver. if that still doesn't work i'm out of ideas :-( | 21:23 |
| krammer | anybody good with gpart? | 21:23 |

| dashua | Is it possible to play h.264 files in Totem without choppiness? | 21:24 |
| ijn | I know there is a command that helps you to put this icon on sys tray | 21:24 |
| jarle | LjL: I need list of other packages also, xen is not the one I'm looking for.. | 21:24 |
| digitori | PeterT: I would be delighted to know your outcome. | 21:24 |

| dashua | rafal_, Yes, it plays but it is lagging | 21:25 |
| LjL | jarle, xen is the only one that contains that file also according to my apt-file (type « apt-cache show apt-file », it's a handy tool). try looking also at http://packages.ubuntu.com - that should be most updated | 21:25 |
| Dirtbag | Hi all, looking for laptop users opinions. my internal wireless intel 3945 sucks, what wireless adapter(with good range)do you use or recommend? | 21:25 |

| bro_man | rafal_: I am not a tech, I am here like you... however, if you submit all bugs, there may be someone working on a fix for you as we speak... it is important for the community that you do... I personally would reinstall after I checked the live-disk for errors | 21:26 |
| digitori | PeterT: ah dell media direct is on its own partition...if you dont over write it youll be ok | 21:27 |
| rafal_ | bro_man: I am a tech.. not in ubuntu though | 21:27 |
| ijn | yes I have clock sys monitor and bin | 21:27 |
| aclark | if your panel is on the bottom, then yes....it holds things like the nm-applet, sound, pidjin, etc | 21:27 |

| PeterT | digitori: I can probably test before doing anything drastic, but regardless of the fact that it's on it's own partition it will probably impact functionality if I overwrite MBR. | 21:28 |

| schlurchz | Hi boys&girls. I find that gdm no longer suspends my box, but using the logout dialog works. Trying from the gdm login screen does nothing. | 21:59 |
| darkentity | thanks guys | 21:59 |
| schlurchz | syslog says: "WARNING: Request for configuration key daemon/SuspendCommand=, but not type STRING" | 21:59 |
| robdig | speps: right click on the panel you want to delete and hit delete this panel | 21:59 |
| schlurchz | Any ideas what's going on here? | 21:59 |
| caravel | darkentity: welcome -- remember to *always* unmount it before to unplug it | 21:59 |
| orion | hey, could someone help me with graphic drivers? how can I display the current version I am using? ty :) | 22:00 |
| speps | robdig: i want to remove any instance of gnome-panel ... i don't wont any panel. | 22:00 |
| amigappc | ok sry but i need a little advice. ubuntu detected my soundcard bud i think he use the wrong drivers .... because i have an HD soundcard onboard | 22:00 |
| caravel | orion: open synaptics and search for your graphic card brand name | 22:00 |
| FangLiger | okay sooo everytime i try to install a package my internet disconnects and won't reconnect | 22:01 |
| caravel | amigappc: one often can find a switch within the sound dialog, that enables digital sound | 22:01 |
| jimmacdonald | Hi all I am having some difficulty with Ubuntu recognizing my video card and saving settings. I am using an Nvidia 7600 and a 22 inch wide screen monitor from Viewsonic. I know this combination worked previously (I have used it on this machine correctly) and the only thing I have changed is updates. When I run reconfigure it fails to find the correct video card. | 22:01 |
| robdig | speps: hmm, probably sudo apt-get remove gnome-panel | 22:01 |
| orion | thanks caravel. worked fine :) | 22:01 |
| orion | so 7.10 is already having the newest forceware | 22:01 |
| FangLiger | Orion: it seemed to for my 8600gt | 22:02 |
| * robdig likes the panels | 22:02 | |
| tohoyn | orion: you can also look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:03 |
| caravel | jimmacdonald: make sure you use the restricted drivers as offered automatically at least after install, by the wizard in the notification area | 22:03 |
| tohoyn | orion: search for Driver there | 22:03 |
| caravel | jimmacdonald: then install nvidia-settings | 22:03 |
| wubrgamer | hey guys, http://pastebin.com/d5ce6fe38 | 22:03 |

| caravel | FangLiger: from your previous messages it looks like your dependancies are not satisfied | 22:05 |
| FangLiger | ..........i have no idea what that means....... | 22:06 |
| digitori | KDallas: try using open office presentation with your powerpoint file | 22:06 |
| ben_ | everytime i boot my computer i have to run sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf, sudo ndiswrapper -l, ndiswrapper -m, and sudo modprobe ndiswrapper | 22:06 |
| wubrgamer | http://pastebin.com/m647ac24e does that work | 22:06 |
| K_Dallas | digitori, as i said, i actually did this and it was 99% ok but not for all the transition effects | 22:06 |
| FangLiger | .....i have a girlfriend if that's what you mean...... | 22:06 |

| K_Dallas | Dextorion, indeed | 22:08 |

| Dextorion | K_Dallas, you probably could uncompress those with... archiver or fileroller or such. | 22:08 |
| danbhfive | ben_ did you add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules ? | 22:08 |
| Kagar | Could someone go to the Ubuntu-Offtopic and tell them that I am really sorry and I was Ignorant, please forgive me Pici. | 22:08 |
| caravel | robdig: wubrgamer Sessions will add an autostart entry in your .config I think, if you are interested | 22:08 |
| Dextorion | K_Dallas, no idea how ease it is to sort out the data in them though. | 22:08 |
| ben_ | no, how do i do that? | 22:08 |
| danbhfive | Kagar what happened? | 22:08 |
| K_Dallas | Dextorion, when i double click on those files, they actually uncompress under ubuntu | 22:08 |

| kravlin | hey. anyone know why the shutdown and reboot buttons dissapeared on my computer and how to fix it? | 22:26 |
| digitori | Kravlin: will anyone really care if you threaten them by going back? I asked you if you meant stop start on your menu or applet on your taskvbar? | 22:26 |

| mikko777 | htmldotcom1: did you run out of hd space? | 22:27 |
| htmldotcom1 | sorry jrib, its so frantic in here I just want to make sure I'm not forgotten. If you can reccomend any other steps, thats fine. | 22:27 |

| Triskaidekaphobi | adamonline45: what wifi card are you using? | 22:32 |
| jrib | buggeredfstab: ok, well to use the backup suberblock, you would get a list with 'mke2fs -n /dev/sdb1' and then 'e2fsck -b NUMBER /dev/sdb1'. Finally, you don't want to fdisk /media/sdb1, you want to fdisk a device | 22:32 |

| kravlin | digatori: yep. | 22:33 |
| kravlin | digatori: now to figure out how to upgrade from 6.06. | 22:33 |
| adamonline45 | Triskaidekaphobi: It uses the net5416 driver, the model name I'm not sure of. But I got to the point where I was able to at least see the card in iwconfig before I reinstalled Ubuntu, so I'm sure it's supported. | 22:33 |
| cptinternet | basically, more expanded question, is there a command to disable a particular device? | 22:33 |
| Tweek888 | I installed KDE a few days back, and now my gnome sessions don't show desktop icons, what should I do? uninstall kde? | 22:34 |

| buggeredfstab | jrib: mke2 shows permission denied | 22:34 |
| danbhfive | do you still need help? | 22:35 |
| digitori | kravlin quickest route would be new install and dont wipe your home partition unless youve backed it up | 22:35 |
| jrib | buggeredfstab: you need sudo on both of the commands I gave you | 22:35 |
| adrenergic | yes but i know what you all people mean... but if the OS, ie, Ubuntu is free why is the driver not free? it's very strange.... they do privide slow version but... i wonder when have the Linux PEOPLE started greed for money | 22:35 |
| htmldotcom1 | yes | 22:35 |
| Tweek888 | jrib, false | 22:35 |
| Tweek888 | how would I set true? | 22:35 |
| jrib | buggeredfstab: make sure sdb isn't mounted anywhere | 22:35 |

| fredrik | Is it pissible to mount a .iso as /cdrom/ ? Iḿ trying to reinstall soundcard drivers and it asks for my ubuntu cd, but my DVD-rom does not want to be found by my pc (need a new). Is there a way of emulating /cdrom/ ? | 22:35 |

| caravel | pretty please I need help with xdg/alacarte -- can't find anything on the web. Following the use of alacarte, what in xdg structure could prevent most of the Prefs and System menus to show up ? They are both complete on other account on the same machine. | 22:36 |
| kravlin | digitori: yeah. but this computer has issues. I tried the install with Gutsy and when i booted into the live cd the mouse wouldn't work. dapper did. | 22:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !iso | fredrik | 22:36 |
| ubotu | fredrik: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 22:36 |
| cptinternet | can't find anywhere if there's a command to disable a particular PCI device | 22:36 |
| danbhfive | htmldotcom1: so, is your computer still running slow? or is just not working? | 22:36 |
| digitori | kravlin try using the alternative cd instead | 22:36 |
| digitori | kravlin: or throw your mouse to the cat and buy a new one? | 22:36 |
| kravlin | digitori: I figured that since i've got a working version here i might as well work with it. | 22:37 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | adamonline45: from a terminal execute: sudo lspci -nnv > ~/adamlspci and paste it on postbin | 22:37 |
| htmldotcom1 | its not working. whenever it gets to the point where it would normally display the login screen, I just get a waiting cursor. I have to shut down after that because its stuck. | 22:37 |

| Triskaidekaphobi | pastebin! adamonline45 | 22:37 |
| danbhfive | htmldotcom1: can you get to a terminal? | 22:37 |

| caravel | is there any whitepaper that describes entirely xdg's menu building, inclusion and exclusion processes ? | 22:38 |
| buggeredfstab | jrib: Ok, I just ran them both. Output is on the forum | 22:38 |
| htmldotcom1 | danbhfive: -f? what does that do? | 22:38 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | thanks LjL | 22:38 |
| htmldotcom1 | 17:38 ( danbhfive ) htmldotcom1: ok, try sudo apt-get install -f | 22:38 |
| jrib | caravel: no idea, have you checked freedesktop.org? | 22:38 |
| kravlin | digitori: they're plug and play in windows while ps2 isnt? | 22:38 |
| danbhfive | htmldotcom1: i think it means force. Basically, it will try to install any packages that previously failed to install | 22:38 |
| caravel | jrib: don't know where to continue searching :( | 22:38 |
| cptinternet | Is there a command to disable a particular PCI device through the command line? can't figure out how to do it in the GUI | 22:38 |
| kravlin | digitori: and unfortunately most of the world uses windows. | 22:39 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | adamonline45: then post the url of your pastebin page here and i'll (we'll) have a look | 22:39 |

| Tweek888 | how do I trouble shoot that? | 22:39 |
| jrib | buggeredfstab: NUMBER means use a number from the last command | 22:39 |
| htmldotcom1 | danbhfive: ok. I also want to mention that I did a sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop, and I removed it. | 22:39 |

| mikebeecham | digitori: you want to talk about work-flow...I just managed to get Photoshop CS3 running flawlessly on 7.10 | 22:53 |
| K_Dallas | Hi again! What is the safest way to install a deb package under ubuntu? Thanks (not only my memory has faded, ubuntu has also changed a lot) | 22:53 |
| PeterPan | LjL whats the best for you then? | 22:54 |
| digitori | mikebeecham: hey way cool...I use photoshop too, but on win thingy | 22:54 |
| choudesh | K_Dallas: sudo dpkg -i | 22:54 |

| Triskaidekaphobi | adamonline45: yes, 64-bit seems to be an issue... let me check a couple of things... brb | 22:54 |
| andrew_ | hello? Don't suppose anyone here knows about problems with mounting a UDF disc? | 22:54 |
| digitori | mikebeecham: Im looking into xara on ubuntu | 22:54 |
| mikebeecham | digitori: yeah...I've been using Photoshop for about 8 years now, and was looking for a way to run it on Linux, as I want to get away from windows....now I have, I'm well chuffed | 22:54 |
| AdioHyperion | are you not helping me anymore choudesh? | 22:54 |
| andrew_ | I've been looking for the last 2 days for a fix for this, and nothing has worked | 22:54 |
| jargon | or you van just double click on the .deb file in your file browser and it will ask for your password. | 22:54 |
| LjL | PeterPan: the best for me is knowing which services i'm running :) | 22:54 |

| choudesh | AdioHyperion: Please state your problem in the channel here | 22:55 |

| choudesh | !find samba > choudesh | 22:55 |
| AdioHyperion | i am in a chat with you... | 22:55 |
| jrib | Jarhyn: there is a bug for that issue on bugs.ubuntu.com | 22:55 |
| mikebeecham | Digitori...to be honest, i'm surprised more people have not thought of it....I know that people have settled for an ugly version of CS2 running on wine, but it's even better to have CS3 running with no lag and FULL SCREEN as well | 22:55 |
| AdioHyperion | what does that mean? | 22:56 |
| mikebeecham | digitori: xara looks good | 22:56 |
| Jarhyn | I know this. it still does not help me fix the PROBLEM | 22:56 |
| digitori | mikebeecham: I havent gone to CS3 yet | 22:56 |
| jrib | Jarhyn: there are a couple of workarounds in the comments | 22:56 |
| choudesh | AdioHyperion: try to `apt-get install smbfs` | 22:56 |
| tds5016 | hey. does anyone know if compiz works with swing now? | 22:56 |
| robdig | andrew__: i found this, maybe it will help? | 22:56 |
| AdioHyperion | i tried that also | 22:56 |
| MadHatter349 | hey | 22:56 |
| mikebeecham | digitori: you really need to. Apart from the upgrade of the GUI, there's lots of neat functionality for helping workflow, and it's integration into Bridge CS3 is SO nice | 22:57 |
| AdioHyperion | same thing | 22:57 |

| digitori | mikebeecham: I havent played with xara on ubuntu all that much yet | 22:58 |
| mikebeecham | digitori: ok...well, I'm sure you're going to get on great with it...one of the best bits of CS3 is it's load-up time...it's SO much quicker than CS and CS2...really a fraction of the time | 22:59 |

| primary | Hello :) I'm having a rather severe problem that might be out of the scope of this chatroom, but I figure I'll ask anyway: I've been using Ubuntu just fine for the past couple months. However, I needed to boot into Windows for something today, and so I did so....there was no sound, and device manager reported a ton of controllers missing. Then my video started to blink in and out, and so I hit the reset button on my computer. When I | 23:03 |
| primary | did this, there were artifacts everywhere, letters were randomly capitalised, and they were in odd colours. Thus, I decided to leave the computer off for about 10 minutes. I turned it back on, there were no artifacts, and so I went into Ubuntu. When I got to the login screen, my monitor suddenly went to sleep, but I moved the mouse and that seemed to wake it back up. I've logged in and everything seems to be working, but I'm obviousl | 23:03 |
| jsoftw | slavi1: errorlog | 23:03 |
| primary | y a little concerned and confused over what just happened | 23:03 |
| MM2 | I installed uw-imap and I can not telnet to port 143. What is wrong? | 23:03 |
| primary | Hmm, I didn't mean for it to be that long :) | 23:03 |
| slavi1 | jsoftw: which one should I look for? the apache log? | 23:04 |

| dandelions | hi, could someone help me? I just installed Gutsy this afternoon and now it won't boot, it hangs where the splash screen ought to be | 23:19 |
| h4p0 | this changes the resolution in boot phase...but not the resolution of the tty console.... | 23:19 |
| digitori | fsckr: be interesting to find a solution...at least when ive got two cpu's running | 23:20 |
| dandelions | The splash screen settings are the right size, so it's not that | 23:20 |
| * digitori thinks he is the oldest kid in town | 23:20 | |
| h4p0 | yeah! that works perfectly fr the splash screen... | 23:20 |
| dandelions | I put in my username and password and I get a peachy screen with a mouse cursor, I can move the mouse but all I can actually do is ctrl-alt-backspace | 23:20 |
| === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever | ||
| h4p0 | but I would change the resolution of the console | 23:20 |
| adamonline45 | Triskaidekaphobi: Do you know what it means when it says "AR5008 support is available in trunk"? | 23:21 |
| h4p0 | how can I do? | 23:21 |
| fsckr | digitori, when i finish installing xp on here and installing the vmware tools ill change it back to 2 processors and see what happens :) | 23:21 |

| adamorjames | I was wondering. What command would I use to make gnome-terminal "stay on top". | 23:21 |

| Jarhyn | also, I tried compiling a kernel that enabled built-in rather than module UDF support as the only change in the config, and it managed to kernel-panic | 23:22 |
| dandelions | I'm used to having a splash screen there, and it booted a few times with a splash | 23:22 |

| Triskaidekaphobi | adamonline45: 'trunk' is the current development trunk, still beta software | 23:27 |
| dandelions | Gutsy is useless. All it's done so far is delete 200mb of my files because I opened an archive, broke my sound, and then broke itself altogether. | 23:27 |
| robdig | dandelions: are you running xgl? | 23:27 |
| Dr_Willis | it pays to have a collection of live cd's of differetn disrtos to test things with. :) DSL, Puppylinux, gparted live cd.. all handy :) | 23:27 |

| dandelions | xgl? | 23:27 |
| jrib | adamorjames: right click on the title bar, or do you actually want a command? | 23:27 |
| fsckr | dandelions, its usually user error :) | 23:28 |
| choudesh | adamorjames: if you right on the title bar - there is a "always on top" | 23:28 |
| adamorjames | jrib: a command | 23:28 |
| nuu | PeterPan_: that range is fine, means snort will listen on 192.168.x.x | 23:28 |

| magnetron | adamorjames: right click the title bar, choose "stay on top" | 23:28 |

| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| jrib | adamorjames: look into wmctrl or devilspie | 23:28 |
| dandelions | Ordinarily I'd agree with you, but I didn't delete my files, and I reversed the thing I did before Ubuntu wouldn't boot again | 23:28 |

| choudesh | AdioHyperion: understandable. | 23:29 |
| fsckr | no need for devilspie when you have cf | 23:29 |
| nuu | PeterPan_: it means that the first 16 bit of the address (ie the first two bytes, ie 192.168) represent the network part of the address | 23:29 |
| robdig | dandelions: it's a version of x built on open gl (i think)...but i had found a bug where xgl was giving similar problems to what your described...they fixed it by uninstalling xgl | 23:29 |

| IndyGunFreak | digitori: very true... | 23:43 |
| Jarhyn | ATI supports linux very well | 23:43 |
| Pelo | adamonline45, if you don't have a cd like that, donT' worry about it | 23:43 |
| * IndyGunFreak laughs at Jarhyn | 23:43 | |
| s | it was working today well until changed the langage pack | 23:43 |
| Jarhyn | well, they do. better than some | 23:43 |
| adamonline45 | Pelo: Ahh nice, they're thinking ahead... Thanks :) | 23:43 |
| wb1722 | i have a drive thats not showing up in the medai dose anyone here that can help | 23:43 |
| * IndyGunFreak laughs even harder at Jarhyn | 23:43 | |
| digitori | lol | 23:43 |
| Pelo | adamonline45, I'm pretty sure that's what it is , I read something a while back | 23:44 |
| s | now when i want to watch something on utube its starts and stops in few secs | 23:44 |
| jamescarr | hey I need some quick help... I am using tsclient fullscreen, but sometimes want to drop back to my desktop.. how can I do this? f8 doesnt work | 23:44 |
| * Pelo tells IndyGunFreak not to laugh at the unfortunate noob | 23:44 | |
| IndyGunFreak | s: i dont' think a language pack should effect that. | 23:44 |
| * IndyGunFreak listens to Pelo | 23:44 | |
| digitori | Jarhyn: erm I wonder if NVidia will get left behind now that ATI are open sourced | 23:44 |
| Pelo | jamescarr, alt+crtl_f7 I thnk | 23:44 |
| NoobSauce | IndyGunFreak: I've already tried to reconfigure x. I've looked up the refresh rates and other monitor specs on the web, and I've filled those values in. I'm editing the xorg.conf manually, so safe mode is not necessary (?) | 23:44 |
| Pollman | Does anyone know how to get Compiz-fusion running on a flash drive of some sort? | 23:44 |
| s | ok | 23:44 |
| Pelo | Pollman, whut ? | 23:45 |
| Jordan_U | digitori, I wouldn't call Non Disclosure Agreements "open" | 23:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | NoobSauce: ok, i would just do everything generic, and see if you can get X to start. | 23:45 |
| jamescarr | Pelo, nope | 23:45 |
| Jarhyn | maybe I missed 2 decades here? I remember when it was ATI that provided the best support | 23:45 |
| Pollman | Compiz-fusion | 23:45 |
| s | is there any flash player 9 | 23:45 |
| Pelo | jamescarr, my mistake | 23:45 |
| raulh | im so noobie with ubuntu, and debian D:< i did terminal commands to install frostwire (sudo apt-get install frostwire), then i followed what adminonline told me (sudo updatedb) (locate frostwire) and nothing happening can anyone pm me cause i got a tiny rez and would apriciate a pm thnx | 23:45 |
| Jarhyn | then again the last time I checked was 1991 | 23:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | NoobSauce: do everything generic, and you will likely get everything to start. | 23:45 |
| Jordan_U | s Yes | 23:45 |
| digitori | Jarhyn: Ive only ever signed one...but no | 23:45 |
| NoobSauce | IndyGunFreak: so I tried that as well, and I couldn't get anything... is this a known issue or something? The bug report that I found indicates that is was resolved? | 23:45 |
| Pelo | Pollman, didyou install ubuntu on a flash drive ? | 23:45 |
| adamonline45 | Jarhyn: I've always heard if you're gonna run linux, get nvidia | 23:45 |
| Pollman | Yeah | 23:45 |
| miles8 | Hi, I upgraded to Gusty, and my graphics seem pretty messed up. Is there a good explanation as to what as going on on the backend for this screens and resolutions utility. I would rather just bypass it all together have just use my own xorg.conf that I have manually edited | 23:45 |
| * digitori thinks even that sig wasnt my real signature | 23:45 | |
| Pelo | Pollman, then compiz should work if the rest of your hardware can handle it | 23:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | NoobSauce: no, onlyu thing i know, is you're doing something wrong.. what did you choose when it asked for your video device? | 23:46 |
| Jarhyn | either way I don't have the choice | 23:46 |
| bruenig | miles8, then just do that | 23:46 |
| bruenig | miles8, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:46 |
| Jordan_U | miles8, Then just make your own xorg.conf, or do you not know how? | 23:46 |
| s | where can i find it | 23:46 |
| NoobSauce | IndyGunFreak: video device was chosen as vesa since I don't have a video card in here anyways | 23:46 |
| miles8 | But it seems to use that at first, and then it reverts to some different config | 23:46 |

| Pollman | pelo, I have it running in persistance mode, but when I try to apply the changes it doesn't seem to work | 23:46 |
| digitori | Jarhyn what choice dont you have, what did i miss/ | 23:46 |
| justinhj | Anyone have a good program for videoing your desktop? | 23:46 |
| jamescarr | Pelo, I think maybe you thought I meant switching between consoles? I am using tsclient to connect to a windows box at work, and I want to be able to minimize it/switch out to do stuff on my local desktop | 23:46 |
| Pollman | I'll try again | 23:46 |
| miles8 | Ya, I know how to manually edit it | 23:46 |

| LjL | !caps | jamescarr | 23:46 |
| ubotu | jamescarr: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 23:46 |
| Jordan_U | miles8, That is because your version of the xorg.conf resulted in X not starting | 23:46 |
| Pelo | miles8, ifyou still have a copy try it out, backup the other one first , might because new drivers are now available and somethig tried to use them | 23:46 |
| Jarhyn | so I can't really decide what graphics card to plug | 23:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | NoobSauce: you're doing something jacked up,c uz if you use generic defaults, X should start, barring some other hardware problem | 23:47 |
| froggy_ | hi... does anyone know how to install direct rendering and 3d acceleration on ubuntu 7.1 this is my first weekend on linux ever.... | 23:47 |
| digitori | Jarhyn: ok know where your coming from now | 23:47 |
| ubuntuisloved | Guys What TV APP supports firewire for ubuntu | 23:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | raulh: frostwire has an ubuntu.deb file on http://www.frostwire.com | 23:47 |
| NoobSauce | IndyGunFreak: oh, and the monitor is a Sceptre X7-Agama. The default is not correct, so I set the horizontal refresh rate to the correct value, and still no X... | 23:47 |
| Pelo | jamescarr, sorry I don,t know | 23:47 |
| Jordan_U | miles8, If you just want to see X fail you can run "startx" or "xinit" | 23:47 |
| digitori | Jarhyn: ive used both, my pref is nvidia | 23:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | NoobSauce: sigh.. you just don't get it... i give up | 23:47 |
| digitori | just the way it is | 23:47 |
| miles8 | K, I will try that Jordon | 23:47 |
| NoobSauce | IndyGunFreak: Yeah, I would think that this would work as well, and I don't think it's a hardware failure since the device has previously worked... | 23:47 |
| Jarhyn | I remember long ago way back in the day when ATI provided full support for all their drivers | 23:47 |

| tommy` | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device | 23:48 |

| miles8 | Is there a new driver for radeon or ati in Gusty? | 23:50 |
| Pelo | tommy`, to the the sound applet in the pref menu , make sure you ahve the right sound card selected | 23:50 |

| Jordan_U | NoobSauce, Do you have more than one GPU? | 23:50 |
| === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris|AFK | ||

| digitori | Noobsauce: Im almost too drunk at moment...drunk too many config files | 23:51 |

| froggy_ | oh.. no.. I am having problems | 23:51 |
| froggy_ | ... | 23:51 |

| miles8 | Pelo: Did try the restricted drivers, they were choppy too... Is there any way to verify what driver Xorg is currently using? | 23:51 |
| Jarhyn | but when I build a desktop I'm going to remember to buy nvidia | 23:51 |
| froggy_ | I have this boson game I am trying to play and I get a message about 3d acceleration and direct rendering | 23:51 |
| * IndyGunFreak tells FangLiger "Friends don't let Friends tweak while under the influence" | 23:52 | |
| froggy_ | I don't know how to install them... I have an ATI card | 23:52 |

| lumpy | hey all | 23:53 |
| bkraptor | thanks :) | 23:53 |
| Pelo | !hi | lumpy | 23:53 |
| ubotu | lumpy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 23:53 |
| froggy_ | I have an ati radeon express 200m | 23:53 |
| Jarhyn | so do I froggy | 23:53 |
| digitori | froggy: see ubotu;s answer https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:53 |
| lumpy | is there any one here who can help me get two vid cards working? | 23:53 |
| Vicfred | hi | 23:53 |
| * lumpy is n00b | 23:53 | |
| Pelo | !dualhead | lumpy | 23:54 |
| ubotu | lumpy: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 23:54 |
| Jarhyn | froggy, if you just installed, there should be a little card icon up in the upper right corner, with a lock on it | 23:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm, two video cards, that could be fun.... never tried that | 23:54 |
| Vicfred | how do i update my gimp 2.4.0 rc to 2.4.2???? | 23:54 |
| AdioHyperion | choudesh: are you there? | 23:54 |
| bkraptor_ | thanks | 23:54 |
| zzz | mnk3ym4n: "find" goes through all of the files in the directory recursively and using the command "cmp", compares each file found to the corresponding file in the second directory. Try it on a few test directories and you'll see how it works. | 23:54 |
| jeroenvrp | has someone gmailfs working in gutsy? | 23:54 |
| lumpy | one is AGP the othe is PCI will that matter? | 23:54 |
| LjL | Vicfred: wait until it's backported, or explicitly request a backport. | 23:54 |
| Pelo | Vicfred, you wait , the package in the repos will get updated eventualy, or uninstal the current one and compile the new one manualy | 23:54 |
| LjL | !backports > Vicfred (Vicfred, see the private message from Ubotu) | 23:55 |
| jeroenvrp | I get a HTTP Error 400: Bad Request | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | jeroenvrp: gmailfs? | 23:55 |
| Pelo | jeroenvrp, how are you trying to access gmail ? | 23:55 |
| NoobSauce | Jordan_U: So the motherboard is an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI motherboard. It has DVI, as well as analog out + a card with HDMI out. I'm thinking it might have multiple GPUs (one for the HDMI, one for everything else). If that's the case, what difference does it make? Vesa shouldn't go through any of the GPUs, right? It's CPU-only from what I understand (?) | 23:55 |
| bkraptor_ | how can I make the user list permanently visible in xchat? | 23:55 |
| mnk3ym4n | zzz: wow thanks - appreciate the help | 23:55 |
| jeroenvrp | Pelo: with gmailfs | 23:55 |
| digitori | two vid cards could be fun....tried two sound cards that was fun | 23:55 |
| froggy_ | jarhyn I just installed ubuntu I don't see a "little card" | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | what is gmailfs | 23:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | ? | 23:55 |
| Pelo | jeroenvrp, there might be some encryption thing you need to set or stuff like that in the applet itself | 23:56 |
| LjL | !info gmailfs | IndyGunFreak | 23:56 |
| ubotu | indygunfreak: gmailfs: Use your GMail account as a filesystem. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8-2 (gutsy), package size 25 kB, installed size 160 kB | 23:56 |
| Jarhyn | well, when I installed, there was a restricted driver icon up near my network adapter icon | 23:56 |
| Pelo | IndyGunFreak, I don'T know either | 23:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | LjL: i see... | 23:56 |
| NoobSauce | Jordan_U: Actually, I'm virtually certain there would have to be multiple GPUs, so I'm going to just unplug the HDMI card and eliminate that as a potential problem | 23:56 |
| Pelo | Jarhyn, that means that the retricted driver manager is working | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | NoobSauce, VESA should always work, but for some reason it sometimes doesn't. Most of the times I have heard about it not working were from people with multiple GPU's | 23:56 |
| jeroenvrp | when I do a mount.gmailfs none /mnt/gmail2/ -o username=myusername,fsname=randomname -p | 23:57 |
| jeroenvrp | I type in my password | 23:57 |
| robdig | bkraptor: try ctrl+F7 | 23:57 |
| Jarhyn | if it's not there, I don't know what to tell you. you can also try click on system, administration, synaptics package manager, and then going into the repositories and enabling them | 23:57 |
| jeroenvrp | and I receive a HTTP Error 400: Bad Request | 23:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: i don't think i've ever heard of vesa not working.... this would be a first for me... but you've been around since i was in diapers, so... | 23:57 |
| Jarhyn | all of them | 23:57 |
| jeroenvrp | I do it as root on the command line | 23:57 |
| froggy_ | repositories eh...... | 23:57 |
| Jarhyn | yes | 23:57 |
| froggy_ | I don't know what that is but I'll try it | 23:57 |
| Pelo | later folks | 23:57 |
| kitche | jeroenvrp: well gmailfs is sort of being blocked by google or at least they are trying to block it | 23:58 |
| AdioHyperion | i did "sudo adduser -s /bin/true 'username'" | 23:58 |
| AdioHyperion | how can i remove that 'username' | 23:58 |
| jeroenvrp | kitche: aaah | 23:58 |
| jeroenvrp | thanks | 23:58 |
| AdioHyperion | in samba | 23:58 |
| Jordan_U | IndyGunFreak, I'm 18, so I seriously doubt that last part :) | 23:58 |
| Jarhyn | then you should be able to enable the restricted ATI stuff | 23:58 |
| bkraptor | weird request: can anyone send me a private message? | 23:58 |
| jeroenvrp | that is want I want to hear | 23:58 |
| LjL | AdioHyperion: deluser? | 23:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: well, you've used Linux longer than me...lol | 23:58 |
| NoobSauce | Jordan_U: IndyGunFreak: This would be a first as well. I've understood vesa to basically not use the GPU at all, but rely 100% on CPU rendering... So it'd be odd that the GPUs would in any way affect things... | 23:58 |
| AdioHyperion | LjL: ill tru it | 23:58 |
| AdioHyperion | try | 23:58 |
| raulh | anyone know any online games for ubuntu natavly? | 23:58 |
| digitori | Jordan_U: you werent around when i was in diapers for sure | 23:58 |

| fsckr | eeek my emerald themes are gone LOL wth | 23:59 |
| AdioHyperion | LjL: thanks alot | 23:59 |
| tommy` | fsckr: do you use compiz? | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | raulh, And I believe those only list the open source ones, some commercial games are also available | 23:59 |
| fsckr | tommy`, yea LOL | 23:59 |
| Dr_Willis | raulh for Linux - most all the quake/doom games, never winers nights, the UT games to a more limited extent. | 23:59 |
| t4m1n0 | how can I print ppt document so there is more than one slide on a list ? | 23:59 |
