| tuna | Pike: ipod nano 8gb, I got | 00:30 |
| Pici | !upgrade | pteague please use the correct upgrade method | 00:31 |
| ubotu | pteague please use the correct upgrade method: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 00:31 |
| xvoltx | ok jake 2 steps | 00:31 |
| joerlend | pike_, it should suffice. | 00:31 |
| jake_ | xvoltx: how do i check? | 00:31 |
| xvoltx | standby | 00:31 |
| MikeH | gordonjcp, Seems to be a few MikeH's around :) | 00:31 |
| pteague | Pici> k, but i'm upgrading ubuntu-server | 00:31 |
| eVipere | michael: Yeah, I have... I had WoWo running just fine, then I updated compiz and it freaked out... never found out why.. | 00:31 |
| jake_ | sorry | 00:31 |
| joerlend | LjL, it's an onboard though. | 00:31 |
| LjL | joerlend: means nothing, it's still a card. intel maybe? | 00:31 |
| Pici | pteague: there are still different instructions for that. `sudo do-release-upgrade` | 00:31 |
| xvoltx | at terminal sudo lspci -n | 00:31 |
| michael_ | eVipere_: How do i get the game to patch itself? | 00:31 |
| LjL | joerlend: try « lshw -C display » | 00:31 |
| jsoftw | Anyone know how to reload fonts? | 00:31 |
| pteague | k | 00:31 |
| Jangari | can anyone tell me if it's possible to navigate to samba network directories from a terminal? | 00:32 |
| jsoftw | I added a new font ( terminus ) and its not showing up in xfce4-terminal | 00:32 |
| gordonjcp | MikeH: sadly as a lot of old old ISPs drop off the net, a lot of the people I used to know 10 years ago online are getting out of touch :-/ | 00:32 |
| Pici | pteague: read the page though, I think theres something extra I'm forgetting | 00:32 |
| joerlend | LjL, VIA S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter | 00:32 |
| kelsin | jsoftw: you can mount them with the mount command | 00:32 |
| jake_ | okay, then what? | 00:32 |
| eVipere | michael: it should run the updates just fine... you may need to run them manually sometimes though. | 00:32 |
| pteague | currently upgrading feisty packages... will check that next... | 00:32 |
| CaptainMorgan | trimeta, I have deleted that line with the cdrom, but now sudo apt-get install g++ returns E: Can't find g | 00:32 |
| jsoftw | kelsin: _what_ ? | 00:32 |
| matttis | I miss my bookmarks after updating to firefox 2.0.0.11 What can i do to get them back ? The backup file is overwritten too | 00:32 |
| pike_ | tuna: it seems there may be some issues with new nano and linux | 00:32 |
| pteague | Pici> if it's close to debian it should be pretty easy... done that a couple times :) | 00:32 |
| michael_ | eVipere_: How is that done??? | 00:33 |
| kelsin | jsoftw: wrong user, sorry | 00:33 |
| xvoltx | copy the results to http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ and hit check | 00:33 |
| kelsin | Jangari: you can mount them with the mount command | 00:33 |
| trimeta | CaptainMorgan: Are you sure that g++ is the proper name? | 00:33 |
| MikeH | bruenig, next question, what will play the resulting VCD under linux? | 00:33 |
| jake_ | okay | 00:33 |
| pike_ | tuna: however it has been addressed im just not sure if current packages in gutsy are late enough version to work | 00:33 |
| tuna | pike: there are many threads on the forum that say they got thiers to work, but they all jump past the mounting as if it just worked | 00:33 |
| jake_ | thanks | 00:33 |
| trimeta | And there are other lines there for the online repositories, right? | 00:33 |
| MikeH | Totem just gives me "cannot read from resource" | 00:33 |
| CaptainMorgan | trimeta, absolutely | 00:33 |
| CaptainMorgan | trimeta, I just installed it on my laptop system | 00:33 |
| joerlend | LjL, I switched drivers. Do I need to restart X? | 00:34 |
| Jangari | i can mount it fine, i just want to have terminal be able to search it, etc., | 00:34 |
| tuna | pike: I got gtkpod and libgpod compiled from svn | 00:34 |
| pike_ | ah | 00:34 |
| xvoltx | does it say yes for your sound card? | 00:34 |
| kelsin | Jangari: what do you mean by "terminal be able to search it"? | 00:34 |
| LjL | joerlend: yes. make sure you know how to go back to the old drivers if it fails. | 00:34 |
| joerlend | I do. :) | 00:34 |
| Jangari | using cd, ls, etc., | 00:34 |
| michael_ | eVipere: How do i dl them manually | 00:34 |
| jake_ | yeah.... | 00:34 |
| jake_ | but it doesnt work with my speakers.... | 00:35 |
| kelsin | Jangari: yeah so once you mount it, just go to the mount point in the terminal (if gnome is mounting it, it's probably in /media/<something>" | 00:35 |
| Jangari | list directories/files in a folder, i can only currently do that for my local files | 00:35 |
| xvoltx | ok then if your card is ok (or if you had sound come out of it before) then it should work in ubuntu. | 00:35 |
| Jangari | ah, alright | 00:35 |
| kelsin | Jangari: run "df" to see where things are mounted currently | 00:35 |
| tuna | pike: and 2.6.23.9 kernel. | 00:35 |
| jake_ | it never has worked though | 00:35 |
| eVipere | michael: That can be challenging sometimes. You'll have to look on some gaming sites for them. a quick google search of patch 2.x.x and WoW should yield something. | 00:35 |
| xvoltx | is it onboard audio? | 00:35 |
| Jangari | will it be /media/"server"/"share"? | 00:35 |
| tuna | All i get when I plug it in is a /dev/sdb, no partitions on it | 00:35 |
| michael_ | ok thanks | 00:35 |
| pike_ | tuna: i never had a problem mounting it. i suppose worst case you could run xp in vmware or virtualbox | 00:35 |
| jake_ | what??? | 00:35 |
| tuna | pike: don't have xp | 00:35 |
| tuna | pike: not stealing it | 00:36 |
| michael_ | eVipere: Is there any kind of memory quota or limit i may have set, upon installation, it told me i didnt have enough memory | 00:36 |
| hectorpal | ok guys, thanks for your time. You are helping a former fedora user to conver to ubuntu | 00:36 |
| kelsin | Jangari: mount it up, and run "df" and you'll see where it is | 00:36 |
| michael_ | eVipere: I didnt ahve enough ram-- But i've played WoW on this computer with windows before | 00:36 |
| pike_ | tuna: i hereby will you my old copy of xp | 00:36 |
| xvoltx | is it built onto your motherboard or is it a card you installed into a PCI/expansion slot? | 00:36 |
| kelsin | Jangari: it also helps me if you put "kelsin:" at the front of you lines, should just need to type "kel" then hit tab if you have a good irc client | 00:37 |
| pteague | Pici> found it - `server is sudo aptitude install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade;` | 00:37 |
| jake_ | built in. | 00:37 |
| rhsanborn | Do you guys know of a windows based program that can create ext3 partitions? I'm trying to install on a usb drive, but the ubuntu installer is having a hard time partitioning my drive | 00:37 |
| jake_ | its plugged into my headphones jack | 00:37 |
| Pici | pteague: there it is :) | 00:37 |
| xvoltx | then probably a bad onboard sound controller it's a common problem. | 00:37 |
| jake_ | what should i do???? | 00:37 |
| kelsin | rhsanborn: might have an easier time just using a nother live cd, like knoppix | 00:37 |
| pike_ | tuna: sorry wasnt more help. not sure what the issue is i know you can fix it by redoing the partitions in inlinux but youd need to backup your music | 00:37 |
| joerlend | LjL, that was much better. Thank you. :) | 00:37 |
| eVipere | michael: sounds like a setting in wine/cedaga. 1G is enough. | 00:37 |
| xvoltx | get a pci sound card and install it | 00:37 |
| === GIMPY is now known as GIMPY22 | ||
| xvoltx | something linux friendly, in the market myself. | 00:38 |
| jake_ | but i dual boot and it works in vista | 00:38 |
| jsoftw | I see. | 00:38 |
| xvoltx | oh then it's probably a setting or conflict | 00:38 |
| GIMPY22 | Hello everyone, I'm having problems with the test command in Ubuntu. When I do something like test 1 -eq 1 it doesn't return any values, even when I do stuff like test --help nothing happens. Test does exist as verified by which test | 00:38 |
| jake_ | so how do i fix??? | 00:38 |
| pteague | rhsanborn> try making it an ext2 & see if that works... only diff between ext2 & ext3 is 3 is journalized... otherwise ext3 uses ext2... afaik there isn't a windows app to create ext2/3 partitions... however there is a driver available that will allow windows to *read* them | 00:38 |
| xvoltx | is your BIOS set to non plug and play os? | 00:38 |
| michael_ | eVipere: I checked for any of the settings, the cedega site said to clear quota or something they didnt elaborate on it | 00:38 |
| xvoltx | paste what sound card you have here from the hcl results | 00:38 |
| GIMPY22 | anyone know why test doesn't seem to work? | 00:39 |
| === abc is now known as NeMo | ||
| jake_ | 8086284bYesIntel Corporation82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controllersnd-hda-intelv2.6.21 | 00:39 |
| kelsin | GIMPY22: test returns a value by it's exit code, after you run it you need to run "echo $?" to see it | 00:39 |
| GIMPY22 | oh, I figured it'd print the return value back to the screen. | 00:39 |
| xvoltx | what kind of audio you trying to play? | 00:39 |
| GIMPY22 | thanks I'll try echo $? | 00:39 |
| eVipere | michael: Go figure... cedaga not being very useful... try just running wine: wine /path/to/WoW.exe may work better. | 00:39 |
| jake_ | anything. movies music. i dont care | 00:39 |
| jake_ | nothing works | 00:40 |
| rhsanborn | will try it, thanks | 00:40 |
| matttis | My firefox bookmarks ran away !! WHAT can I do ?!? | 00:40 |
| pike_ | michael_: wine is to a state that it usually equals or trumps cedega these days | 00:40 |
| michael_ | eVipere: does wine need to be installed separatly | 00:40 |
| kelsin | GIMPY22: and in scripts that is what "if" checks when you call "if [ 1 -eq 1 ]; then" etc | 00:40 |
| michael_ | but i paid for cedega :( | 00:40 |
| xvoltx | check settings/mixer settings | 00:40 |
| jake_ | k | 00:40 |
| eVipere | Probably, cedaga is a hacked-up version of wine designed for better gaming..... | 00:40 |
| GIMPY22 | so you don't put the test command in the evaluation brackets? | 00:41 |
| GIMPY22 | so weird, in my fedora script I use if test q -eq k; then | 00:41 |
| michael_ | does cedega have anything worthy of dling :( | 00:41 |
| pike_ | GIMPY22: usually you might go ahead and and assign a variable the return value like RETVAR=$? then use that in your if later | 00:41 |
| michael_ | or transgaming for that matter | 00:41 |
| jake_ | wait.... how do i get to settings? | 00:41 |
| GIMPY22 | I see. | 00:41 |
| kelsin | GIMPY22: yeah that works too, [ is an alias for test | 00:41 |
| pike_ | tifine: you can do that too | 00:41 |
| GIMPY22 | ahhh | 00:41 |
| xvoltx | make sure your intel is selected in the drop down list of devices. I run xubuntu its applications for me | 00:41 |
| eVipere | They may have gotten better, but last time I knew a while back, I was better off with installing wine from apt-repository, or just building it myself for better performance. | 00:42 |
| pteague | if you want a free release of cedega... go download & install eve-online for linux | 00:42 |
| tifine | pike_: what i can do that too ? | 00:42 |
| GIMPY22 | and echo $? just prints the return value of the last process that ran? | 00:42 |
| pike_ | tifine: sorry wrong nick | 00:42 |
| kelsin | yep $? always has the return value of the last process | 00:42 |
| jake_ | where do i find that though. im running gutsy 7.10, gnome | 00:42 |
| GIMPY22 | cool thanks. | 00:42 |
| pteague | i'm not sure if it will let you play other games, but it downloads all the default settings for every other game... | 00:42 |
| eVipere | Now, anyone know how to remove an mdadm array, when a drive is not attached physically to the PC anymore? | 00:42 |
| xvoltx | not sure I only ever run 6.06 and am new myself. | 00:43 |
| pteague | eVipere> comment the line or delete it out of /etc/fstab ? | 00:43 |
| jake_ | how do you get to settings? | 00:43 |
| xvoltx | but I can tell you your card is supported and it's probably something simple | 00:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xvoltx: Dapper.. that was a nice release | 00:43 |
| eVipere | pteague: um... no, the mdadm app doesn't rely on /etc/fstab. | 00:43 |
| xvoltx | I am always a little behind the times Jack_Sparrow | 00:44 |
| hobbesmaster | is there a way to get a "open command line here" type menu option in the file browser? | 00:44 |
| xvoltx | rather absolute stability vs newest features | 00:44 |
| pteague | eVipere> check /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf | 00:44 |
| eVipere | pteague: completely commented out.... | 00:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xvoltx: Same here, let the others enjoy the fluffy features, I only need the basics. | 00:45 |
| pteague | eVipere> all i remember from setting it up was i had a funky time trying to get to specifically take the drives in a certain order... it apparently pulls drives from /proc/partitions | 00:45 |
| GIMPY22 | okay another question, do you have to define types in bash scripts? i.e I did t=2 test t -eq 2 and the terminal reports that t is a "bad number" | 00:45 |
| pteague | eVipere> oh & might also want to check /proc/mdstat | 00:46 |
| Kyptan | i'm having an issue with my triple-boot system | 00:46 |
| MikeH | Guys, what can I use to play a kvcd once I've mounted an iso | 00:46 |
| TerribleTickler | anyone talk in here | 00:46 |
| MikeH | I've tried gxine, but it tells me it has no plugin for vcd | 00:46 |
| pike_ | GIMPY22: test $t -eq 2 | 00:46 |
| eVipere | pteague: /proc is rebuilt everytime the OS is booted up, and it just displays the status of the md arrays. | 00:46 |
| Kyptan | i can't get ubuntu to load | 00:46 |
| MikeH | mplayer doesn't work, I'm lost :S | 00:46 |
| GIMPY22 | ARRGHH LoL obvious mistake, thanks :-P | 00:46 |
| Kyptan | even though its the last one i installed | 00:47 |
| TerribleTickler | linux is hard to learn | 00:47 |
| xvoltx | yeah. I am trying out xubuntu 6.06 for the first time on a system with 256mb ram, and celeron 1.7 cpu. want to see if it can hack some audio playback and ripping/network monitor and web browsing/design | 00:47 |
| pteague | eVipere> yes, but it's something to check & see if, even though the drive has been removed, it's still *finding* the drive or assuming it's there | 00:47 |
| drkfce | Hi all. Has anyone been able to get superkaramba to work in gnome? I know about gdesklets and screenlets, but I have some custom themes in superkaramba that I want someone else to use. | 00:47 |
| Pici | TerribleTickler: do you have a question we can answeR? | 00:47 |
| CaptainMorgan | trimeta, bulmer "The program 'g++' can be found in the following packages: * g++" when I try to apt-get install g++ it says "g" can't be found | 00:48 |
| MasterShrek | drkfce, superkaramba is for kde | 00:48 |
| xvoltx | hope to use it to ssh into a web server 233Mhz box with a scsi drive | 00:48 |
| pteague | which means may have to remove it from /dev | 00:48 |
| trimeta | CaptainMorgan: Maybe use quotes around it? I don't know. | 00:48 |
| TerribleTickler | well I need to link that can show me how to black list old madwifi or what ever so i can compile new madwifi | 00:49 |
| MasterShrek | !blacklist | 00:49 |
| ubotu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 00:49 |
| CaptainMorgan | great.. I deleted the line and now it can't be found, at least when the line was there, it looked for it and then asked me for the cd | 00:49 |
| pike_ | CaptainMorgan: sudo apt-get update | 00:49 |

| MasterShrek | drkfce, yuo can try it, but ive never heard of superkaramba in gnome | 00:51 |

| FangLiger | it still has connection it just wont send or recieve packets | 01:06 |
| danbhfive | FanLiger: you could try changing the channel that the wireless is running on, are you using ndiswrapper? | 01:06 |
| jimjam | astro76: Oh, I hadn't considered that. | 01:06 |
| Strangework | Pici, oh, I see | 01:06 |
| michael_ | matttis: is this a command, or how do i execute | 01:06 |
| Pici | Strangework: Its not a benchmark, it means nothing. If anything, its drawing faster than your screen can display. | 01:06 |

| OldMarLaw | novice42: You should be able to | 01:11 |

| novice42 | I tried to edit the xorg.conf file logged in as root, but when I try to save it, it tells me that I don't have permission | 01:12 |
| michael_ | matttis: what is this you ask?? i have no clue-- its the link on the site, aside from that, it wont let me unzip it | 01:12 |
| neko | is there a way to easily click on someone name for replying with "randomnickname:" at the start of the input ? | 01:12 |
| OldMarLaw | novice42: I presume you are using ubuntu, why do you use root ? Isn't sudo enough ? | 01:13 |

| Pici | komputes: If I remember correctly, sometimes it can be caused by having the -i386 kernel instead of the -generic kernel | 01:25 |
| SpookyET | I suppose it is. But, if you do not manually partition, Ubuntu will setup (4GiB - RAM) = SWAP on 32bit | 01:25 |

| uKKeMan | i put that into the xorg.conf Option "Mode" "Absolute" to my stylus identifier of the wacom part | 02:09 |
| corruptionoflulz | Zelofun: super easy way to do that is make your ntfs one big partition, then run the ubuntu installer and let it resize it for you. | 02:10 |
| uKKeMan | casio1374633, that the graphictablet position wont set to absolute | 02:10 |

| soulrider | this is getting interesting :P | 02:10 |
| MasterShrek | uKKeMan, just edit it manually if thats all you want to do | 02:10 |
| uKKeMan | MasterShrek, i edited it but its not working thats my problem | 02:11 |
| Benalex | Zelofun: I didn't try to create a partition during installing, I always to it before starting installation | 02:11 |
| casio1374633 | uKKeMan: do you backup xorg.conf before you change it ? | 02:11 |
| Zelofun | corruptionoflulz: Does not seems to be a bad Idea but is there going to be any traffic loss while merging the partitions? | 02:11 |
| MasterShrek | uKKeMan, you restarted your xserver after editting? | 02:11 |
| MasterShrek | casio1374633, its generally a good idea to | 02:11 |
| corruptionoflulz | Zelofun: not really sure what you mean by traffic loss... | 02:11 |
| Bakefy | how do I get firefox to close completely when i get that "already running" error? | 02:11 |
| uKKeMan | MasterShrek, casio1374633 no its just a little change. yeah i restarted with ctrl+alt+ (uhm the delete button) but no change | 02:12 |
| corruptionoflulz | Zelofun: my suggestion is merge partitons, defrag, then run ubuntu installer and use the slider to resize the hard drive. | 02:12 |
| Zelofun | corruptionoflulz: data loss I mean (sorry used to it fro my work) | 02:12 |
| MasterShrek | Bakefy, open a terminal and type: killall firefox | 02:12 |
| casio1374633 | MasterShrek: maybe he just need restart X | 02:12 |
| MasterShrek | apparently he already did | 02:12 |
| uKKeMan | yepp | 02:12 |
| danbhfive | Bakefy: ps -e | grep firefox | 02:12 |
| casio1374633 | uKKeMan: maybe you just need to restart your computer | 02:12 |
| Zelofun | corruptionoflulz: ok | 02:12 |
| MasterShrek | uKKeMan, then whatever you changed didnt do it, keep searching, or make sure you have the correct syntax | 02:12 |
| toodles | Bakefy: MasterShrek: I believe it's "killall firefox-bin" | 02:12 |
| NeMo | pkill firefox | 02:13 |
| uKKeMan | mastershrek: i copy and paste the syntax of the wacom site | 02:13 |
| corruptionoflulz | Zelofun: i guess it's good to do a defrag before intsalling ubuntu anyways | 02:13 |
| MasterShrek | toodles, you are correct | 02:13 |
| NeMo | pkill -9 firefox | 02:13 |
| uKKeMan | but i give it another try | 02:13 |

| Flannel | evasive: No. You can register with nickserv if you want. You'll be able to 'own' your nick, and send private messages. | 02:14 |
| panfist | hi, does ubuntu support any hardware accelerated h.264 or other hi-def video playback? | 02:14 |
| toodles | Bakefy: You've welcome :-) | 02:15 |
| MasterShrek | the wind blows in evasive's face | 02:15 |
| corruptionoflulz | Zelofun: you don't really have to merge them, it just sounded like you were getting confused on what should be what | 02:15 |
| MasterShrek | =P | 02:15 |

| Strangework | Driver "i810" | 02:15 |
| Strangework | this is what came out of it. how do I interpret it? | 02:15 |
| Flannel | !paste | Strangework | 02:15 |
| ubotu | Strangework: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 02:15 |
| MasterShrek | !paste | 02:15 |
| corruptionoflulz | Zelofun: but i guess it's still a good idea to defrag your windows partition | 02:15 |
| MasterShrek | Strangework, its the i810 | 02:15 |
| evasive | greetings everyone | 02:15 |
| craigbass1976 | How do I make a slideshow of jpgs and have music in the background so that someone can watch it in windows? What app am i looking for? | 02:15 |
| Zelofun | corruptionoflulz: ok | 02:15 |
| evasive | I"m a former Windows user, and I'm lost... | 02:15 |
| Bakefy | I had a command that used to work in an older version, but it stopped! now I know the new fix! my firefox does it alot it seems like? any reason why? | 02:16 |
| craigbass1976 | evasive, you'll find your way, what's up? | 02:16 |
| Strangework | MasterShrek: i810, umm. What is i810? | 02:16 |
| MasterShrek | craigbass1976, most picture viewers can do slideshow, and use your favorite music player for music :) | 02:16 |
| Zelofun | corruptionoflulz: thanks!! see u soon | 02:16 |
| evasive | I have an ATI graphics card on an AMD | 02:16 |
| MasterShrek | Strangework, its an intel-based gfx card | 02:16 |
| craigbass1976 | MasterShrek, what do I use to make it though? | 02:16 |
| evasive | but ubuntu 7 will not install on it | 02:16 |
| Kavok | Does anyone have experince with Atheros AR5007EG wireless? | 02:16 |
| kuribohx | is there anyway to bring the files back that I deleted from the madwifi directory? | 02:17 |
| K_Dallas | Good evening guys! How could I have more than 2 desktops (under gnome), thanks | 02:17 |
| Flannel | evasive: What doesn't work during the install? | 02:17 |
| panfist | if i want hardware accelerated video playback in ubuntu, should i buy an amd or an nvidia graphics card? | 02:17 |
| corruptionoflulz | K_Dallas: you mean like, desktop environments? | 02:17 |
| craigbass1976 | MasterShrek, the whoel deal is this... I hate walmart. My mother-in-law and I banter back and forth about it. I won't even go into one. I was thinking of shopping there this year, taking funny pics, making a show, and setting it to music to give her for xmas | 02:17 |
| toodles | panfist: I don't know which codecs work, but I have played hi-def videos with the default player, Totem, and also with xine. | 02:17 |
| K_Dallas | corruptionoflulz, yes | 02:17 |
| Benalex | K_Dallas: you mean more than one workspace? | 02:17 |
| K_Dallas | that is it :) sorry for the wording | 02:17 |
| craigbass1976 | evasive, ahh, never had that trouble. Someone in here knows though | 02:17 |
| MasterShrek | craigbass1976, put the pictures that you want in the slideshow in their own seperate folder, and double click one, i dont know what program will open up, and since i dont use gnome i cant exactly tell you how, but there shold be an option to start a slideshow within that picture viewer | 02:18 |
| evasive | the machine will bounce back somehting like an "I/O error" repeting over and over | 02:18 |
| Flannel | evasive: Have you verified the CD? | 02:18 |
| panfist | i know they will play as long as you have the right codecs but i have a slow cpu and i dont think it can handle anything at 720p or higher | 02:18 |
| MasterShrek | craigbass1976, you could try setting that up and using xvidcap (making sure to use capture sound) and making a video file out of it all | 02:18 |
| K_Dallas | Benalex, i used to have 4 back when i was using unix | 02:18 |
| craigbass1976 | MasterShrek, can I make a quicktime movie of something like that? | 02:18 |
| MasterShrek | evasive, tried the alternate installer? | 02:18 |
| evasive | and on an intel it works fine | 02:18 |
| MasterShrek | craigbass1976, possible, an mpeg or avi is probabyl easier | 02:19 |
| corruptionoflulz | K_Dallas: gnome should have 2 workspaces in the bottom right by default.. | 02:19 |
| Flannel | K_Dallas: in gconf, its /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces | 02:19 |
| craigbass1976 | MasterShrek, right. One of those | 02:19 |
| K_Dallas | corruptionoflulz, the default is 2, right | 02:19 |
| K_Dallas | Flannel, thanik you | 02:19 |
| corruptionoflulz | K_Dallas: you can just right click the workspaces, and change the settings | 02:19 |
| K_Dallas | will try that too | 02:19 |
| Kavok | Is there anyway to trouble shoot my wireless to figure out whats going wrong? | 02:19 |
| toodles | panfist: In that case I don't know. I have a fast cpu and an intel card and have no problems. I don't know how graphics hardware is used when it comes to video playback. | 02:19 |
| corruptionoflulz | K_Dallas: assuming you have the workspace switcher on the bottom right... | 02:19 |
| K_Dallas | thank you all | 02:19 |
| Bakefy | well, thanks all and goodnight! | 02:19 |
| owoc | How i Can deleate partition witch padlock ????????? | 02:19 |
| K_Dallas | corruptionoflulz, should be there if it is the default | 02:20 |
| MasterShrek | Kavok, whats the problem? what kinda wifi card? | 02:20 |
| Flannel | !wifi | Kavok | 02:20 |
| ubotu | Kavok: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:20 |
| MasterShrek | owoc, you need root priviledges | 02:20 |
| Kavok | MasterShrek: Atheros AR5007EG I had to use ndiswrapper, Its installed .. I can see networks, I can click connect, but it won't connect | 02:20 |
| owoc | whats priviledges | 02:20 |
| Kavok | MasterShrek: Security being on or off doesnt seem to matter | 02:20 |
| MasterShrek | !sudo | owoc | 02:20 |
| ubotu | owoc: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 02:20 |
| evasive | MasterShrek: I know the CD is good because I can install 7.10 on my laptop | 02:21 |
| didie | Does anyone have a documentation about CVS instalation and configuration? | 02:21 |
| MasterShrek | evasive, there is an alternate installer cd, that may work | 02:21 |
| panfist | toodles amd and nvidia cards can take over some of the duty or decoding the video as long as the proper software is used, in windows the software is pretty crappy but its coming along. i was wondering if such a thing existed yet for linux or if no one has bothered to work on it yet | 02:21 |
| panfist | its for a HTPC | 02:21 |
| MasterShrek | Kavok, tried using the terminal to set it up? | 02:21 |
| evasive | Flannel: I had to download Ubuntu 6 and IT worked | 02:21 |
| Kavok | MasterShrek: I have a forum thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=632115 | 02:21 |
| Kavok | MasterShrek what do you mean ? | 02:21 |
| sproingie | i don't guess that the avivo stuff works on linux. no idea about purevideo | 02:22 |
| MasterShrek | Kavok, tried connecting using terminal commands instead of the gui one? | 02:22 |
| Kavok | MasterShrek: I have no idea how to do that | 02:22 |
| rpj8 | When I make a change to .Xdefaults in order to change settings in xterm, how do I refresh xterm with these new settings? | 02:23 |
| MasterShrek | Kavok, open a terminal. sudo iwlist ath0 scan this will give you a list of networks (assuming your wifi card is labeled ath0) | 02:23 |
| toodles | panfist: I'd like to know this myself. Sorry I'm of no help to you there. | 02:23 |
| evasive | also, are there any Gentoo users here? | 02:23 |
| MasterShrek | Kavok, sudo iwconfig ath0 essid <network name> this will associate it with an access point | 02:23 |
| sproingie | evasive: i bet there's bunches in #gentoo | 02:23 |
| MasterShrek | Kavok, sudo dhclient3 ath0 this will grab an ip address (assuming there is no encryption) | 02:23 |
| ohok | evasive- yes but they are busy waiting for their source to compile | 02:23 |
| evasive | how do I get there? | 02:23 |
| evasive | LOL | 02:23 |
| panfist | sproingie and toodles the reason i ask is that i have an AMD 2800+ socket 939 so I really can't upgrade the processor right now. if i upgraded the processor i would also have to get a new motherboard and i was hoping i could make the system last a little longer by upgrading the video card | 02:24 |
| evasive | ohok: :) | 02:24 |
| evasive | so how do I go into that chat room? | 02:24 |
| rpj8 | evasive: /join #gentoo | 02:24 |
| MasterShrek | evasive, type: /join #gentoo | 02:24 |
| rpj8 | When I make a change to .Xdefaults in order to change settings in xterm, how do I refresh xterm with these new settings? | 02:24 |
| ohok | evasive- how did you ever get *here* ? | 02:24 |
| panfist | will a 2800+ be able to playback 720p in linux very well? it handles most of it ok in windows | 02:25 |
| MasterShrek | rpj8, close xterm and reopen it | 02:25 |
| rpj8 | MasterShrek: Ah. I must be doing something wrong then | 02:25 |
| MasterShrek | panfist, i should think so | 02:25 |
| evasive | ohok: I just opened this chat program and here I am | 02:25 |
| ohok | actually i have an ubuntu not a gentoo question | 02:25 |
| ohok | evasive- hahaha | 02:25 |
| ohok | my question is where is gpm ? | 02:25 |
| MasterShrek | rpj8, close all instances of xterm maybe? | 02:25 |
| ohok | I can see it in apt-cache search | 02:25 |
| ohok | but apt won't install it ! | 02:25 |
| rpj8 | MasterShrek: Pretty sure I did | 02:25 |
| kelsin | rpj8: you might need to run "xrdb -load .Xdefaults" | 02:26 |
| evasive | ohok: have some sympathy, I'm a noob | 02:26 |
| Kavok | MasterShrek: give me a min | 02:26 |
| kelsin | rpj8: and I think the new place for this is .Xresources | 02:26 |
| ohok | just kiddin ya | 02:26 |
| didie | Can anyone help me installing a CVS? | 02:26 |
| rpj8 | kelsin: I see. So I should dump my stuff in .Xresources then | 02:26 |
| MasterShrek | didie, of what? | 02:26 |
| evasive | THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS! | 02:26 |
| ohok | thanks for all the fish... | 02:26 |
| MasterShrek | damn dolphins... | 02:26 |
| MasterShrek | =P | 02:26 |
| panfist | mastershrek can you point me to a guide or website that will help me find and install the most efficient decoder/video player? i want the system to be as lean as possible so i can minimize any lag when decoding | 02:26 |
| ohok | so anyone know why a package would be in apt-cache but apt wont instal it? | 02:27 |
| panfist | mastershrek i think there are like 2 decoding paths, gstreamer and something else? how do they compare? | 02:27 |
| MasterShrek | panfist, well, you probably want to go with a leaner version of ubuntu, i would suggest fluxbuntu, i use xine for videos | 02:27 |
| kelsin | rpj8: I think so, I think Xdefaults was dropped a while ago, the main issue is without restarting your xsession I'm pretty sure you have to run that command on the file | 02:27 |
| kelsin | ohok: what package? | 02:28 |
| ohok | gpm | 02:28 |
| MasterShrek | panfist, i usually install all the gstreamer plugins, as well as everything (aside from a few things like googleearth) from medibuntu | 02:28 |
| Kavok | MasterShrek: It seems to be working now. If I had a LAN ethernet connection and a wifi connection going to the same DHCP router would that cause a problem? | 02:28 |
| MasterShrek | !info gpm | 02:28 |
| didie | MasterShrek have you ever installed a CVS? | 02:28 |
| ubotu | gpm: General Purpose Mouse Interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.19.6-25 (gutsy), package size 372 kB, installed size 708 kB | 02:28 |
| MagicFab_ | When upgrading a kernel, how can I specify how many older options to keep ? It seems Ubuntu only keeps the latest 3. | 02:28 |
| MasterShrek | Kavok, i dont think so | 02:28 |
| happyman | H0130 | 02:28 |
| Kavok | MasterShrek: Well its working now and I have no idea why | 02:29 |
| kelsin | ohok: I assume you have universe enabled? | 02:29 |
| MasterShrek | ohok, you have universe enabled? | 02:29 |
| ohok | so do I shrek | 02:29 |
| ohok | but I spoze its worht a check | 02:29 |
| panfist | i was thinking of going with mythbuntu which runs xfce, or just regular ubuntu. the system has 1 gig of ram. does the desktop environment really use that many cpu cycles when it's playing video? | 02:29 |
| Kavok | MasterShrek: The only difference was I had an ethernet cable plugged in before | 02:29 |
| ohok | hey that almost rhymed | 02:29 |
| kelsin | what is aptitude ot apt-get saying, just that it can't find gpm? | 02:29 |
| MasterShrek | panfist, with one gig of ram, i wouldnt worry about any of that | 02:29 |

| ohok | it would appear my sources.list got borked | 02:30 |
| evasive | greetings, just finished compiling gnome 2.20 but it wont load on my gentoo server | 02:30 |

| uKKeMan | damn i hate that :) | 02:31 |
| nucky | i tried the suggested pam changes from the wiki | 02:31 |
| nucky | no luck though | 02:31 |

| nucky | still get username / password invalid | 02:31 |
| uKKeMan | gutsy finds it automatically but when i try to configure it with the xorg conf its not working | 02:31 |
| MasterShrek | nucky, is it listening on a different port than before? | 02:31 |
| uKKeMan | the tablet | 02:31 |
| nucky | no | 02:31 |
| ohok | Shrek- clearly evasive is a gentoo mole. | 02:31 |
| MasterShrek | it appears that way ohok | 02:32 |
| firefly2442 | Is there a way I can MD5sum an entire directory and get back one value for the whole directory? | 02:32 |

| lucienium | Hi guys. My System Sounds loop non-stop once they start playing. For instance, if there's a login system sound set and I login, the login sound playsback endlessly until I restart the system. Please help ;-( | 02:32 |
| evasive | when I hit "startx" it gives me a lousy desktop made of 2 colors | 02:32 |
| nucky | MasterShrek where could i check for the port change | 02:32 |
| kelsin | evasive: go ask in #gentoo | 02:32 |
| MasterShrek | firefly2442, i doubt it, compress it to a tar.bz2 or something then md5sum it | 02:32 |
| ohok | lol kellsin | 02:32 |
| evasive | quit | 02:33 |
| MasterShrek | nucky, not really sure, the settings or something in vmware (sorry havent used vmware in ages) | 02:33 |
| uKKeMan | anyone here has an graphictablet working with the wacom on gutsy?` | 02:33 |
| nucky | port 902 | 02:33 |
| MasterShrek | uKKeMan, do you get any errors? look in /var/log/Xorg.log.0 | 02:33 |
| firefly2442 | Is there some technical reason why a directory can't be MD5ed? | 02:33 |
| uKKeMan | yeah i get errors | 02:33 |
| lucienium | I also tried disabling all the system sounds then restarting my system. When I started my system again then set a system sound for checking a box, it starting playing back nonstop after being initiated once | 02:34 |
| ohok | I have an Aiptek, but havent had time to install it yet... :| | 02:34 |
| kelsin | firefly2442: well there are many different ways it can be done, it's not defined | 02:34 |
| firefly2442 | MasterShrek: yeah, it sort of defeats the purpose though, I just want to check if two directories are the same without using diff | 02:34 |
| nucky | i think i found the error | 02:34 |
| kelsin | firefly2442: why without diff? | 02:34 |
| MasterShrek | firefly2442, what you got against diff? | 02:35 |
| nucky | the /etc/xinetd.d/vmware-authd file has the wrong path | 02:35 |
| firefly2442 | kelsin: the directories are on two different computers | 02:35 |
| MasterShrek | nucky, thatll do it | 02:35 |
| kelsin | firefly2442: I think the tar gzip is your best bet | 02:35 |
| nucky | this /usr/sbin/vmware-authd no longer exists | 02:35 |
| lucienium | anyone? | 02:35 |
| kelsin | firefly2442: or just tar right into md5 | 02:35 |
| nucky | it's in /etc/pam.d | 02:36 |
| kelsin | "tar -c dir | md5" | 02:36 |
| uKKeMan | MasterShrek, the funny thing is.. it is working buuut not through the xorg.conf cause i get "device not found" errors there.. thats the point why setting the option isnt working there | 02:36 |
| strike1 | anyone know how to enable X forwarding from a Ubuntu server box, I'm using ssh -X user@myserver and then type xclock but it says: Error: Can't open display: localhost:0 | 02:36 |

| uKKeMan | MasterShrek, but why does it work then?! if the init fails during start of X?! | 02:36 |
| firefly2442 | kelsin, MasterShrek: alright, thanks for the help :) | 02:36 |
| ohok | uKKeMan- if you get it working in tty be sure to let me know... | 02:37 |

| Condoulo | ok, I have a question. my menus are screwed up, and I tried reverting it, but the Internet, and graphics menu no longer show. Anybody know how I can revert it to default? | 02:37 |
| MasterShrek | i dont know uKKeMan, i have no experience with tablets | 02:37 |
| don_pucci | this is the second time doing an update has broken my wireless networking | 02:37 |
| don_pucci | any ideas | 02:37 |
| NYCThomasB | hi all - my wireless card can see all available networks in range but will not connect to any. any thoughts? | 02:37 |
| uKKeMan | ohok: its funny its working already but not during xorg.conf | 02:37 |
| kelsin | firefly2442: System -> Prefs -> Main Menu and check out what it's doing? I think there is a revert option that will remove custimizations in your home dir (as long as your actual system menu folders aren't ruined) | 02:38 |
| ohok | NYC- how many networks do you *have*? | 02:39 |
| nucky | nope i was wrong | 02:39 |
| firefly2442 | kelsin: think that was meant for someone else :) | 02:39 |
| nucky | the /usr/sbin/vmware-authd is a binary file | 02:39 |
| ohok | NYCThomasB - also where in NYC are you ? | 02:39 |
| heartsblood | Does anybody know if there is a linux utility that can help configure high end mice like the logitech g7-g9 line? | 02:39 |
| kelsin | firefly2442: yep, I've done that like 5 times tonight :-( | 02:39 |
| don_pucci | stupid updates | 02:39 |
| don_pucci | wtf | 02:39 |
| MasterShrek | nucky, of course it is, its in /usr/sbin | 02:39 |

| NYCThomasB | ohok - e33rd st. i am connected to wired net. dont have my own wireless. just got wireless card working and now want to test it. i should be able to connect to an unsecured wireless network that i can see. a number near me have strong signal. | 02:40 |
| MasterShrek | nucky, i dont think its ubuntu-specific, #vmware may help...if its even a channel | 02:41 |
| kelsin | NYCThomasB: it is possible those people use mac filtering, most routers come with that now... so it's *possible* that you're all set | 02:41 |
| MasterShrek | nucky, it is | 02:41 |
| ohok | NYCThomasB- up on E 33 you may be *just* out of range of WiFiNY.net | 02:41 |
| colin__ | anybody have any mixer recomendations? is there a eq mixer plugin for rhythmbox?? | 02:41 |
| ohok | too bad bc its like the best provider in the city | 02:42 |
| bazhang | nucky: vmware has an active forum you can check www.vmware.com | 02:42 |
| nucky | ok | 02:42 |

| colin__ | yeah wtf though i wanna use rythmbox | 02:42 |
| nucky | bazhang: ive just seen where in there they dont really support the package install | 02:42 |

| kelsin | Crankymonky: bad text colors, is it a pdf that you made, or one on the internet somewhere? | 02:43 |
| ohok | you would have to go to their site, contact them, have them do a site survey | 02:43 |
| MasterShrek | Crankymonky, can you change the default font in it? | 02:43 |
| ohok | however you most likely are outside the range | 02:43 |
| Crankymonky | kelsin, from my university | 02:43 |

| ax3 | this exist? | 02:44 |
| ohok | andruk- no way dude | 02:44 |
| Crankymonky | MasterShrek, I guess I could output the whole pdf into text and remake it, but that wouldn't be solving the problem:P | 02:44 |
| MasterShrek | defyence, sudo apt-get install build-essential you need this for compilers and such | 02:44 |
| defyence | kelsin: I figured it'd be a nice start for getting used to the process | 02:44 |
| ax3 | i'd like to put together some tutorials | 02:44 |
| NYCThomasB | oh ok. im off 2nd - close to river. will look into it, thx | 02:44 |
| MasterShrek | Crankymonky, tried a different pdf viewer? | 02:44 |
| Flannel | ax3: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts | 02:44 |
| andruk | ohok: can you tell me how to get the source for baudline: http://www.baudline.com/source_code.html | 02:44 |
| ax3 | Flannel, THANKS! | 02:44 |
| ohok | andruk- didn't you see the story today about the break the seal license ? | 02:44 |
| kelsin | defyence: ahhh, read the README file and the INSTALL file in the pidgin code, and run "sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin" before you do it, should be all set | 02:44 |
| andruk | ohok: because it does not appear to be "free" as in beer...and no i didnt see that...? | 02:45 |
| Crankymonky | MasterShrek, Nope. about to now | 02:45 |
| Vad1 | If bzr didn't finish - the connection was interrupted, is there any way I can get it to continue? It just complains that the folder already exists. | 02:45 |
| adamonline45 | I have two computers with gigabit ethernet, connected through a gigabit hub. I only seem to be getting 13MB/s though. Is this a Samba thing, an ubuntu thing, or... should I quit my whining with 13MB/s? | 02:45 |
| jimmygoon | Is anyone else having problems w/ gmail imap or msn | 02:45 |

| dhude | hey my youtube is f****d up | 02:46 |
| ohok | andruk- you have asked a very interesting question! | 02:46 |
| andruk | ohok: From the site: "Purchase the GPL source code for the baudline signal analyzer." Any ideas? | 02:46 |
| dhude | just afetr installing the plugins | 02:46 |
| ohok | yes I just read that | 02:46 |
| Ssam | i am very enw ot linux | 02:47 |
| adamonline45 | ax3: Do you have any thoughts as to why I might be sufferiing so? I was thinking my downstream router (100Mb/sec) might be limiting it, but even so, 13MB/s is more than its capacity, so I don't think that's it... | 02:47 |
| Flannel | defyence: You usually don't need to get used to compiling in distros that are binary package based. | 02:47 |
| Ssam | i dont noe what to do in that | 02:47 |
| Ssam | i created a file i pasted what it said | 02:47 |
| LimCore | MasterShrek: ok.. or add to a group right? | 02:47 |
| Ssam | and i executed it with chmod | 02:47 |
| kelsin | andruk: alert the FSF foundation, sounds like are not following the GPL since their price sounds more then the cost of them duplicating the code for you, but past that we can't help you get the code | 02:47 |
| Ssam | now i cant seem to paste it | 02:47 |
| MasterShrek | LimCore, yea | 02:47 |
| defyence | flannel: Thanks for the heads up, I dunno why I just think I'd like to learn things like this. | 02:47 |
| bazhang | Ssam: if you specify your problem then we can likely find a response | 02:47 |

| mneptok | andruk: it's not illegal to sell GPL source. | 02:49 |
| bazhang | Ssam: why not just view it in flv? | 02:49 |
| ohok | mnetok- I think you are right, but at the same time.... | 02:49 |
| defyence | Thanks flannel!@ | 02:49 |
| mneptok | andruk: it *IS* illegal to *ONLY* sell it | 02:49 |
| Ssam | because i need to forward them at times | 02:49 |
| jsoftw | What program can I use to convert a .ps to a .pdf ? | 02:49 |
| kelsin | andruk: but their version they offer on their site is NOT GPL. so I think they're fine | 02:50 |
| ohok | anyone could buy the baudline code and just give it away | 02:50 |
| Ssam | and i sometimes want to view on xp | 02:50 |
| mneptok | !info ps2pdf | 02:50 |
| Ssam | which dosent have an flv player | 02:50 |
| ubotu | Package ps2pdf does not exist in gutsy | 02:50 |
| Ssam | and i dont want to install it | 02:50 |
| bazhang | Ssam: flv's can be forwarded | 02:50 |
| Ssam | people rnt allowed | 02:50 |
| sproingie | mneptok: it is illegal to charge more than for the cost of distribution if they already distributed the software to you | 02:50 |
| Crankymonky | Okay, so MasterShrek I just checked, loads fine in xpdf | 02:50 |
| kelsin | andruk: the part I don't understand is once you buy it, how they prevent you from also distributing it... but I'm not a gpl expert by any stretch | 02:50 |
| firefly2442 | kelsin: does this, "tar -c dir | md5" actually create the tar file and store it someplace or pipe it straight into MD5? | 02:50 |
| sproingie | now if they didn't distribute the software at all to you, then they don't have to do jack -- they just can't stop anyone else from giving you the source | 02:50 |
| ohok | kelsin- don't they need to change their wording a bit? | 02:50 |
| kelsin | firefly2442: pipe it strait in | 02:50 |
| Ssam | so can u help me in what the site is saying? | 02:51 |
| IdleOne | !info clive | Ssam | 02:51 |

| MasterShrek | Crankymonky, then use xpdf | 02:51 |
| ohok | as it is it says "buy the rights to read the source code" or pretty close | 02:51 |
| Ssam | but what about XP | 02:51 |
| firefly2442 | kelsin: nice! that's handy because I don't have enough HD space, thanks ;) | 02:51 |
| kelsin | ohok: I have no idea abou the legality or working on the source, just commenting that the free download they offer is NOT gpl licensed | 02:51 |
| bazhang | Ssam: get miro to download the flv, or go to youtubex.com to paste in the code and get them that way VLC will be able to show them on any machine, xp, mac, or linux | 02:51 |
| Ssam | i need an avi to work for xp | 02:51 |
| Anio | hi | 02:51 |
| Ssam | soemtimes i forward it to my friends | 02:51 |
| viro | did any one have problem making the install for kiba dock | 02:51 |
| kelsin | firefly2442: yeah, pipes are your friend | 02:51 |
| bazhang | Ssam: get vlc | 02:51 |
| Anio | I have a question about multi-language Ubuntu...is it possible to change the language on-the-fly? | 02:51 |
| ax3 | adamonline45, lots of goodies under /proc/sys/ipv4 lookie lookie | 02:51 |
| ohok | that's ironic, the free dl is non-gpl.... but you can *buy* the gpl'd version | 02:51 |
| ohok | lol | 02:51 |
| bazhang | Ssam: works for xp too | 02:51 |
| Ssam | VLC will convert flv to avi? | 02:52 |
| Anio | ie, if I have more than one user, and each wants a different language | 02:52 |
| Ssam | not allowed to install anything at work | 02:52 |
| jsoftw | Cmon guys, how do I convert a postscript ( *.ps ) to a pdf? :) | 02:52 |
| Anio | ssam: VLC lets you save the stream as any format you want, but it's not very efficient | 02:52 |
| bazhang | Ssam: don't need to | 02:52 |
| kelsin | ohok: as far as I know is legal, the wierd thing is that once I (for instance) buy it, I think I would be able to modify and distribute for free if I wanted to... not sure | 02:52 |
| ohok | ghostscript works for me | 02:52 |
| Anio | any video it plays can be saved | 02:52 |
| ohok | or there is text2pdf | 02:52 |
| kelsin | jsoftw: ps2pdf | 02:52 |
| jsoftw | kelsin: its not in 7.10 | 02:52 |
| bazhang | Ssam: you can put vlc on a usb stick | 02:52 |
| Ssam | okay i ahve vlc | 02:52 |
| kelsin | jsoftw: I have it installed by magic then | 02:52 |
| Ssam | how i convert videos from it | 02:52 |
| ohok | the former has greater power, the later is simplifioed for a single task | 02:53 |
| stefano | jsoftw, http://www.ps2pdf.com/ | 02:53 |
| Ssam | lol but i need to convert it | 02:53 |
| andruk | kelsin: then why do they say "Purchase the GPL source code for the baudline signal analyzer." They are also listed on Freshmeat. I understand that people can dual-license, and therein may lie the problem, if there is one. Your thoughts? | 02:53 |
| ax3 | adamonline45, also consider the possibility of driver issues of your networking gear | 02:53 |
| kelsin | andruk: I have no idea :) | 02:53 |
| Crankymonky | MasterShrek, But I like evince more:P | 02:53 |

| andruk | kelsin: okay, thanks again. | 02:53 |
| cronik | hello everyone. | 02:54 |
| ohok | andruk- again this is a really good question and they may in fact be in violation | 02:54 |
| don_pucci | so..after the last set of updates i no longer have funtioning wireless networking... | 02:54 |
| bazhang | Ssam: first link on google | 02:54 |
| onats | anyone have an idea how i can download torrents on a second computer on my network, while controlling it on the first one? | 02:54 |
| don_pucci | any ideas | 02:54 |
| ohok | IANAL | 02:54 |
| cronik | use vnc | 02:54 |
| ax3 | ssh? | 02:54 |
| Flannel | onats: ssh | 02:54 |
| ax3 | nx? | 02:54 |
| ax3 | vnc? | 02:54 |
| ax3 | take ur pic | 02:54 |
| ax3 | pick* | 02:54 |
| cronik | onats:use vnc | 02:54 |
| kelsin | jsoftw: I have mine from the ghostscript package | 02:54 |
| cronik | is simple | 02:54 |
| ax3 | nx > vnc | 02:54 |
| jsoftw | kelsin: ok thanks. | 02:55 |
| onats | so its really some sort of remote access.... | 02:55 |
| don_pucci | anyone? | 02:55 |
| Anio | can no one answer my question? Is it possible to have different users use Ubuntu in a different language? | 02:55 |
| kelsin | onats: use rtorrent | 02:55 |
| bazhang | onats: vnc and rtorrent | 02:55 |
| Flannel | Anio: Of course | 02:55 |
| kelsin | onats: and ssh, and maybe screen | 02:55 |
| onats | ok ill check that rtorrent | 02:55 |
| stefano | Anio, yes it is | 02:55 |
| bazhang | Anio: yes | 02:55 |
| onats | on another note, who's using apt-cacher here? | 02:55 |
| adamonline45 | ax3: Alright, I'll check those out... Thanks 8) | 02:55 |
| Goosemoose | im doing a preseed for a network install. can't figure out why the following wont work, i get no gui | 02:56 |
| Goosemoose | tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard,edubuntu-desktop | 02:56 |
| Anio | Thank you. I wasn't sure it was possible, because Windows doesn't let you except for one version. | 02:56 |
| stefano | Anio, type in the username. change the language in gdm and log in, do the same with your other user and you're set. | 02:56 |
| kelsin | onats: rtorrent lets you set a directory to "watch" and immediately start up torrent you place in it, so it can be as easy as scping a file over to the other computer, if you have rtorrent running in a screen session you can ssh over later to check on it's status | 02:56 |
| ax3 | do some digging on the ubuntuforums or make a posting if you haven't already adamonline45 | 02:56 |
| stefano | hope that helps | 02:56 |
| Flannel | Anio: your users can be in different timezones too. If you so desire. | 02:56 |
| stefano | they can even use different desktops and all | 02:56 |
| Anio | excellent | 02:56 |
| Anio | I'm finishing backups today, then formatting and installing Ubuntu tomorrow. Thanks for the info. | 02:57 |
| mneptok | onats: if you want to use BitTorrtent on a remote machine, or from a shell, BitTornado is the way to go. | 02:57 |
| mneptok | onats: and we use apt-cacher extensively, too | 02:57 |
| mneptok | (not surprisingly) | 02:58 |
| gstory | any reason to not add the Gutsy repositories to a Fiesty install? | 02:58 |
| onats | mneptok, how do i know if its working? i setup the repository on the other machine pointing to my 2nd machine, and it seems to be updating.. that works right?:D | 02:58 |
| mneptok | gstory: yes, many. don't. | 02:58 |
| stefano | gstory, yes | 02:58 |
| bazhang | gstory: severe breakage? | 02:59 |
| gstory | ok. I kinda figured that. | 02:59 |
| don_pucci | anyone here know much about wireless networking | 02:59 |
| Flannel | gstory: Just upgrade. | 02:59 |
| kelsin | gstory: the packages are all build on different versions of the toolchain | 02:59 |
| stefano | don_pucci, just ask | 02:59 |
| gstory | I want to update my Postifx server but the 2.2 version is only on the Fiesty respositories. | 02:59 |
| kelsin | gstory: you can easily backport individual packages though if you only need a few | 02:59 |
| don_pucci | lol | 02:59 |
| don_pucci | stefano..i have like 8 times already | 02:59 |
| bazhang | perhaps don_pucci why not ask something specific | 02:59 |
| gstory | Guess I need to get the deb packages then. | 02:59 |
| don_pucci | so..after the last set of updates i no longer have funtioning wireless networking... | 02:59 |
| Flannel | !prevu | gstory | 03:00 |

| bazhang | don_pucci: can you be more precise? | 03:00 |
| mneptok | onats: if the machine is updatimg, it's working ;) | 03:00 |
| lucienium | hey guys, does anyone here know how to stop System Sounds from looping nonstop? | 03:00 |
| stefano | don_pucci, what kind of adapter do you use, do you use a native driver or ndiswrapper, do you use network manager? | 03:00 |
| don_pucci | ok...iwconfig returns nothing on essid | 03:00 |
| don_pucci | i am using network manager | 03:01 |
| onats | mneptok, alright..thanks! | 03:01 |
| don_pucci | it is an intel 2200bg | 03:01 |
| kelsin | Flannel: I guess I'm confused but does prevu do any cool features? I thought backporting was already a two line process | 03:01 |
| mneptok | onats: and it's BitTornado you want :) | 03:01 |
| don_pucci | worked fine up until these last updates | 03:01 |
| don_pucci | native driver | 03:01 |
| onats | mneptok, ok will check it out also... i'm just used to using azureus... | 03:01 |
| stefano | mh.. | 03:01 |
| Flannel | kelsin: It makes backporting as easy as apt-get | 03:02 |
| navetz | how do i download opera | 03:02 |
| mneptok | onats: ping if you want config help. i'm one of the BitTorrent gurus for the company :) | 03:02 |
| kelsin | Flannel: it already is "apt-get build-dep <package> && apt-get source --compile <package>" | 03:02 |
| stefano | don_pucci, seems to me that this bug is already filed in launchpad, look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/141205 and see if you can find some answers | 03:02 |
| mneptok | navetz: i think they have a package in the partner repos | 03:02 |
| Flannel | kelsin: No. That's not backporting. | 03:02 |
| onats | mneptok, great, fantastic.. will try it out.. i guess it has to be built from source right? | 03:02 |
| kelsin | Flannel: I see, what is that then? | 03:02 |
| mneptok | onats: no | 03:02 |
| navetz | mneptok: i cant find it do you know the repo | 03:03 |
| CoasterMaster | What is a good Python IDE for Ubuntu? | 03:03 |
| don_pucci | well..the update was not in september but this week | 03:03 |
| Flannel | kelsin: thats just downloading/compiling the packages from stuff already in the repos. Thats equivalent of apt-get install <package> | 03:03 |
| mneptok | onats: sudo apt-get install bittornado openssh-server python-crypto | 03:03 |
| CoasterMaster | or at least the best way to develop python on ubuntu | 03:03 |
| kelsin | Flannel: not if you have the gutsy deb-src lines on a fiesty system | 03:03 |
| onats | mneptok, ok thanks! saving that... | 03:03 |
| mneptok | navetz: add it in the Synaptic repo interface | 03:03 |

| xs4545x_ | kelsin: it's the .bash_profile though. and what is happening though is there is a function in my .bash_profile that has positionals like $@ and $1 and $2 and so forth, but what it give me for the output from the arguments i give are just -bash | 03:25 |

| mightyteegar | i have fluxbox as my default WM. how do i get gnome-volume-manager to load in the background on startup? | 03:29 |
| bruenig | what does gnome-volume-manager do? | 03:30 |
| kelsin | mightyteegar: read the fluxbox man page, I think it's just a couple commands in one of their startup files | 03:30 |
| kelsin | mightyteegar: meaning you add a startup command to run gnome-volume-manager | 03:30 |
| mightyteegar | detects my attached usb drives and mounts them in /media/DRIVENAME | 03:30 |
| bruenig | mightyteegar, shouldn't you just setup hal to do that? | 03:30 |
| soleblaze | how hard would it be to upgrade from ubuntu 6.06 server to ubuntu 7.10 server? | 03:31 |
| bruenig | defeats the point of fluxbox to have all of these bloated gnome hanger ons doing things that other apps do better | 03:31 |
| mightyteegar | bruenig: i could but gnome-volume-manager is so much easier :) | 03:31 |
| mightyteegar | does hal do automount? | 03:31 |
| Agent_bob | hmmm adding "blacklist blah " to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist doesn't keep 'blah ' from loading. i guess i mean i want a way to forbit the insertion of a module, rather than i want to black list it. i can move the modules out of /lib/* but i hate to see the error messages that generates. | 03:31 |
| bruenig | gnome-volume-manager I must assume is just a front end of sorts to hal | 03:31 |
| kelsin | bruenig: yes | 03:31 |

| kelsin | Agent_bob: I may be very wrong about this, but it could be a nother module that is loading needs the first one? I don't know how blacklist behaves | 03:32 |
| mightyteegar | i can load gnome-volume-manager as a daemon and it does all the hard work automagically, but if there's a better way i'll take it | 03:33 |
| Agent_bob | kelsin yeah. me too. | 03:33 |
| kelsin | Agent_bob: (and this is a stupid comment but make sure you wrong "blacklist <module>" not just "<module>" in the blacklist file | 03:33 |

| Chico2 | ah alriight thankyou, why do distro always change this?! | 03:53 |
| TeslaDave | when i tested it, it says ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused | 03:53 |
| eido_ | kelsin: i ripped my fathers recordings that are n cda to ogg is there a better way to rip to mp3...from what I have seen ogg seems to be superior just not as supported | 03:54 |
| TeslaDave | so its not on here out of the box then | 03:54 |
| IRCMonkey | rbil | 03:54 |
| kelsin | Chico2: .bashrc will only do it if you "export PATH=blah", that could have been your program? | 03:54 |
| todd__ | can someone help me fix my audio (it died after I went to 7.10)??? | 03:54 |
| mightyteegar | eyemean: in synaptic, under Preferences > Repositories, is there a tab that says "Third Party"? | 03:54 |
| scguy318 | eido_: conversion to mp3? use ffmpeg | 03:54 |
| inzeo | scguy318: manual install straight from adobe's site, correct? cause thats where it won't let me enter a valid path | 03:54 |
| eido_ | kelsin: I used sound joicer | 03:54 |
| kelsin | Chico2: but I edit mine in .bashrc | 03:54 |
| eido_ | juicer | 03:54 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: yeah, or you could use older tarball, lemme link | 03:54 |
| eyemean | mightyeengar, yes, but its empty and i dont know what sources i should add there | 03:54 |
| bulmer | TeslaDave-> you can also test with lsof -iTCP to see if it is listening on port 22 | 03:55 |
| kelsin | eido_: going from cd->ogg->mp3 will lose quality, it's better just to cd->mp3, I use banshee to rip cds right to mp3, but recently I've started ripping to flac so I've switched to soundjuicer | 03:55 |
| mightyteegar | eyemean: the medibuntu ones are good | 03:55 |
| Chico2 | kelsin: does it check your .bashrc if you use sudo to run the program? | 03:55 |
| ardy | Hello, has anyone else ran into issues when setting up Gutsy Gibbon to use LDAP authentication? | 03:55 |
| mightyteegar | eyemean: you'll have to add others manually, like if you need mplayer stuff you add theirs | 03:55 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: http://rapidshare.com/files/74380214/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz.html | 03:56 |
| kelsin | Chico2: honestly have never tried, probably if you want sudo to see it and stuff like that, just easier to place in /etc/environment | 03:56 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: copy via sudo cp /path/to/tar /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree | 03:56 |
| robert_ | >> are there .deb packages for nasm 2.00 yet? | 03:56 |
| ankur | why my ubuntu pc become slow when i connected to internet? | 03:56 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: then sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree | 03:56 |
| inzeo | scguy318: thanks, lemme try that quick | 03:56 |
| Chico2 | kelsin: Okay thanks I think that was the problem, going to test it right now | 03:56 |
| Rubin | ankur, run top and see | 03:56 |
| ankur | why my ubuntu pc become slow when i connected to internet? | 03:56 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: that tarball passes MD5 checks for the current package, hopefully they should release updated package real soon, I believe they already have it uploaded to Hardy | 03:56 |
| ardy | Every time I update nsswitch.conf to include ldap as it's authentication option it hangs on boot.. any ideas? | 03:56 |
| eyemean | mightyeengar, im new to linux, ,i just wanted to add the ones that came with ubuntu at fresh install, or does the list come blank at first | 03:56 |
| bulmer | ankur do you expect gigabit speed? | 03:57 |
| IRCMonkey | why can i not load the demo of ubuntu from cd? | 03:57 |
| ankur | yes i run | 03:57 |
| KiD_ChAoS | how do i get my girlfriend to stop pronouncing ubuntu as ewbula? | 03:57 |
| jetsaredim | anyone know how to setup sendmail/ssmtp to send mails through gmail | 03:57 |
| ankur | no | 03:57 |
| mightyteegar | eyemean: i THINK only the ubuntu repos are active on fresh install | 03:57 |
| ankur | <bulmer> i rum top | 03:58 |
| rudelerius | Hello. I have an installation of Fedora 7 on a USB 3.5" disk that has photos on it and I'd like to mount the drive in Ubuntu to access the files, but only the boot partition shows up; can anyone help? | 03:58 |
| bulmer | ankur what? | 03:58 |
| mightyteegar | eyemean: to add others you need to add them to /etc/apt/sources.list on your own | 03:58 |
| ankur | <bulmer>what i need to see in there? | 03:58 |
| TeslaDave | bulmer and others, thanks for the help, got it up and running, didn't have opensshserver installed | 03:58 |
| eyemean | mightyeengar, lol, that explains it then, ok thanx for ur ehlp m8, much appreciated | 03:58 |
| bulmer | ankur what are you expecting? | 03:58 |
| mightyteegar | good luck :) | 03:58 |
| ankur | <bulmer>i run top programee | 03:58 |
| bulmer | TeslaDave-> okay cool | 03:58 |
| bulmer | ankur and did you see what you expected? | 03:59 |
| TeslaDave | bulmer, one last quick question , to ssh from internet to my box, how would i do it, just ssh ip.ad.dre.ss | 03:59 |
| inzeo | scguy318: it keeps trying to download from the internet and therefore giving me the MD5 error | 03:59 |
| todd__ | Anyone know ho I can pull my audio settings from the pre7.10 ubuntu??? | 03:59 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: did you do what I suggested? | 03:59 |
| mightyteegar | tesladave: yes, although if you have a router you might need to tell it to forward ssh traffic | 03:59 |
| rudelerius | I should probably also say that I have installed LVM2, but the Fedora logical volume does not show when I do df -h | 03:59 |
| kelsin | TeslaDave: if you are a different user on this other computer probably need "ssh user@ip.ad.dre.ss" | 03:59 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: sudo cp /path/to/tar /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree then sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree? | 04:00 |
| bulmer | TeslaDave-> yes, assuming you dont have nat and your pc is directly connected to the internet with its own routable ip address | 04:00 |
| inzeo | scguy318: yes, that is what I typed, but I'll try again | 04:00 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: if the tar is in the local cache then it won't d/l | 04:00 |
| TeslaDave | bulmer port forwarding is up, but do i need to throw in the -l login command or not | 04:00 |
| kelsin | TeslaDave: if you're on a linux/unix box where you are the same username, no, if you are you either need -l or "user@address" | 04:01 |
| bulmer | TeslaDave-> ssh -l username@remoteipaddress | 04:01 |
| inzeo | scguy318: wait, there we go, I think it did it this time..sorry about that, definitely not questioning your genius :) | 04:01 |
| mightyteegar | tesladave: you can but just user@host works too | 04:01 |
| TeslaDave | perfect, bulmer do you know anything about wake up on lan | 04:01 |
| teknoprep | wow ubuntu is the shiznuts | 04:01 |
| TeslaDave | thanks mightyteegar | 04:02 |
| rudelerius | Can anyone help with a problem with a logical volume not showing up? | 04:02 |
| bulmer | TeslaDave-> that functionality is enabled on the bios | 04:02 |
| rbil | TeslaDave: if you want to run X apps remotely login like this: ssh -X user@host | 04:02 |
| eido_ | kelsin: sorry...loaded banshee on my pc but i only see options to copy cd to image or burn straight to cd | 04:02 |
| rudelerius | There are a lot of people on this channel; doesn't anyone have any suggestions for dealing with an LVM problem? | 04:04 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: have you said anything? I dropped off | 04:04 |
| TeslaDave | rbil, thats in linux right to see the actual programs run, but say remotely connecting from a windows machine, i just need an x-windows client for windows running on that machine | 04:05 |
| vee_ | Can someone point me in the right direction on how to setup samba to work with os 10.4? I have samba installed on a U.Server 7.10 box. unless thats not the best way to file share. I had given Others [read and write] status and it worked, but everytime i looged into ubuntu it gave me an error about that. | 04:05 |
| inzeo | scguy318: wait, there we go, I think it did it this time..sorry about that, definitely not questioning your genius :) | 04:05 |
| skar | hey, does anyone know a partition editor that i can use without burning it to cd? | 04:06 |
| chetnick | vee_: you cant logon from mac to ubuntu? | 04:06 |
| rudelerius | vee_: where is your share located? | 04:06 |
| === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| rbil | TeslaDave: i don't know anything about ssh'ing from Windoze. putty I've heard but not used. Doubt it'll do X. | 04:06 |
| MasterShrek | skar, gparted | 04:06 |
| kelsin | eido_: you're right, I was on Foresight linux when I used banshee, I honestly don't know why banshee doesnt' have mp3 importing available | 04:06 |
| skar | MasterShrek, i've tried that, but it won't let me edit my ubuntu partition | 04:06 |
| vee_ | chetnick i could but it gave me an error | 04:06 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: cool | 04:06 |
| skar | MasterShrek, it has a lock symbol beside it | 04:06 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: glad it works :) | 04:06 |
| MasterShrek | skar, boot of the ubuntu disk and it will, you cant edit it while its mounted | 04:06 |
| mediahunter | does anyone here know anything about acer-acpi or acerwificontroller | 04:06 |
| vee_ | chetnick so i took it off | 04:06 |
| kelsin | TeslaDave: you can install cygwin on windows to get a X server, there are also some pay-for x servers for windows | 04:06 |
| eido_ | kelsin: ok I see that I can output files to pcm, flac, aac, and ogg, mp3 is a proprietary format does that mean I have to add the library ...pretty fresh nstall 7.04 | 04:07 |
| mediahunter | for ubuntu | 04:07 |
| inzeo | scguy318: so will that still update by itself once they update the package in the ubuntu repos? | 04:07 |
| TeslaDave | rbil all i have to do to lets say run gimp remotely is just put that -X command in there to all all X a programs to display like they should | 04:07 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: yes | 04:07 |
| skar | MasterShrek, you mean use the live cd of ubuntu? | 04:07 |
| Rubin | TeslaDave, kelsin: Xming is a nice windows xserver thats free, too. | 04:07 |
| inzeo | scguy318: sweet deal | 04:07 |
| kelsin | TeslaDave: putty handles normal ssh just fine, and the X forwarding | 04:07 |
| MasterShrek | skar, yes | 04:07 |
| vee_ | chetnick said something to the effect that it wasnt a good idea to share /home/vee | 04:07 |
| Nextract | hey folks | 04:07 |
| inzeo | scguy318: thanks again dude | 04:07 |
| scguy318 | inzeo: np | 04:07 |
| Nextract | im wondering if anybody could help me with my ATI X200M | 04:07 |
| skar | MasterShrek, ah alright...so i install gparted when i'm using the live cd? | 04:07 |
| Nextract | been trying for weeks to get Direct Rendering working | 04:07 |
| rbil | TeslaDave: yes, -X turns on X11Forwarding, so you can remotely run a GUI app | 04:07 |
| MasterShrek | skar, i think its already there | 04:07 |
| Nextract | no luck at all | 04:07 |
| chetnick | in your samba conf file set some other directory for share | 04:07 |
| kelsin | eido_: probably, but I don't know, probably a matter of installing the right gstreamer libraries but I'm not sure | 04:07 |
| MasterShrek | system > admin | 04:07 |
| mediahunter | I am having an issue with 7.10 tring to get my wifi to work | 04:07 |
| skar | MasterShrek, oh sweet, alright thanks for your help :) | 04:08 |
| rudelerius | vee_: that's right; you will get problems sharing your own home folder | 04:08 |
| MasterShrek | np | 04:08 |
| rudelerius | vee_: the permissions are an issue | 04:08 |
| eido_ | kelsin: np thatnks for the help at least this offers more options that sound juicer | 04:08 |
| vee_ | chetnick, rudelerius how do i get into that | 04:08 |
| TeslaDave | Rubin kelsin, right now i'm a fresh gusty install, in order to view x programs from a remote connection do i need an x server program as well or is one allready on gusty straight out of the box | 04:08 |
| Nextract | anybody familiar with how to get Direct Rendering working on an ATI card | 04:08 |
| rbil | TeslaDave: or you can turn them on in the sshd_config and ssh_config files | 04:08 |
| rudelerius | vee_: change your share to something else- /home/share or /media/share and the problem should go away | 04:08 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: do you get no direct rendering ever, or just on occasion? | 04:08 |
| Nextract | never | 04:09 |
| Nextract | since install | 04:09 |
| TeslaDave | rbil, same question as above, do i need to instal a x server or does one come in gusty | 04:09 |
| vee_ | chetnick, rudelerius let me try that | 04:09 |
| kelsin | TeslaDave: if you have a gui at all in linux you have a xserver running :) so yes you have one, you need to do what rbil said and enable X forwarding on the servers in /etc/sshd_config | 04:09 |
| Nextract | ive never been able to get it working | 04:09 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: which driver are you using? | 04:09 |
| kelsin | TeslaDave: then restart the ssh servers with "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" | 04:09 |
| rudelerius | vee_: You need to change the share location in the /etc/smb.conf | 04:09 |
| mediahunter | any at all able to help | 04:09 |
| Nextract | i tried the driver that came with 7.10 | 04:09 |
| rbil | TeslaDave: if you're running a GUI desktop in Gutsy, it's running X | 04:09 |
| Nextract | and then tried the ATI Official one | 04:09 |
| pbx | So, I want to install gnome-do (http://do.davebsd.com/) because I am a LaunchBar whore from Mac-land. However, gnome-do requires Mono and I am on a puny 800MHz Celeron laptop with 256MB of RAM. Will mono just suck? | 04:09 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: i mean is it fglrx, radeon, etc? | 04:09 |
| vee_ | rudelerius how do i access that. sudo... | 04:10 |
| Nextract | fglrx is selected atm | 04:10 |
| Nextract | ive also tried the ati one | 04:10 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: ok which one do you have installed now -- from repo or from ati site? | 04:10 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| rudelerius | vee_: the file is located in /etc/samba | 04:10 |
| Nextract | from repo | 04:10 |
| chetnick | vee_: Access to what? | 04:10 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: xserver-xorg-fglrx then? | 04:10 |
| TeslaDave | great thats what i thought wasn't sure if something else needed to be installed, so how exactly do i enable x-forwarding is i guess the route i need to go | 04:10 |
| rudelerius | vee_: Hang on, I found a good howto on the forums for Samba that helped me; let me find the link | 04:11 |
| Nextract | yep | 04:11 |
| Nextract | thats the one | 04:11 |
| eido_ | anyone know the mp3 plugin googled and found gstreamer-plugins-extra-mad but apt-install cannot find this with univeral sources | 04:11 |

| Nextract | im not sure what u mean by that :( | 04:12 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: from prompt: lsmod | grep -i fglrx | 04:12 |
| kelsin | TeslaDave: edit the /etc/sshd_config file with "sudo gedit /etc/sshd_config" , it's pretty obvious in that file how to enable X forwarding if I remember correctly | 04:12 |
| Nextract | yes it is | 04:13 |
| rbil | TeslaDave: in sshd_config, uncomment this line: X11Forwarding yes | 04:13 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: ok so driver's loading but not rendering, hang on | 04:13 |
| Nextract | along with agpgart | 04:13 |
| Nextract | ok np :) | 04:13 |

| mightyteegar | -y | 04:13 |
| Nextract | heh | 04:13 |
| Nextract | cant wait :P | 04:13 |
| mightyteegar | look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any lines that start with EE: | 04:14 |
| rudelerius | vee_: I copied the file, then changed the share name and location to the folder I created | 04:14 |
| rbil | TeslaDave: after making changes to sshd, restart service: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart | 04:14 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: look esp. for lines that look like they reference ATI, fglrx or direct rendering | 04:14 |
| rudelerius | vee_: make sure that the folder you use as your share is created | 04:14 |
| Nextract | ok | 04:14 |
| vee_ | rudelerius ok i will. let me ask you the stupid question before i ask you the less stupid question | 04:14 |
| inazad | what does it mean : 6abd11d1cfabfc7495d18a3ce3018431... | 04:14 |
| rudelerius | vee_: | 04:14 |
| scguy318 | inazad: looks like an MD5 hash | 04:15 |
| rudelerius | vee_: sure, go ahead | 04:15 |
| vee_ | rudelerius the first user that is created during installation | 04:15 |
| vee_ | rudelerius is that not the admin | 04:15 |
| vee_ | rudelerius or is root the admin? | 04:15 |
| inazad | scguy318, ya but what it mean ? | 04:15 |
| vee_ | rudelerius you can luagh now | 04:15 |
| rudelerius | vee_: in most other linux distributions that would be true, but in ubuntu, you just create a user | 04:15 |
| rudelerius | vee_: it's not a dumb question | 04:15 |
| scguy318 | inazad: well its just a hash | 04:16 |
| scguy318 | inazad: the output of hashing w/e it is | 04:16 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: also, check /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and make sure fglrx isn't being blacklisted on startup | 04:16 |
| scguy318 | inazad: you'll have to tell us the context :) | 04:16 |
| inazad | scguy318, kk | 04:16 |
| rudelerius | vee_: it's not the admin, but you can gain admin privileges by using the sudo command | 04:16 |
| demon_spork | I can't get xsenors to read the temperature sensors or the fan RPMs. It works correctly for the voltages. | 04:16 |
| rudelerius | vee_: the howto I sent you has pretty good step by step instructions | 04:16 |
| scguy318 | demon_spork: try detecting your sensors with sudo sensors-detect | 04:17 |
| pbx | Hm, so no gnome-do users yet? | 04:17 |
| vee_ | rudelerius thanx. so none of the users that are on my computer so far are no different in status? | 04:17 |
| Nextract | mightyteegar: cant see any | 04:17 |
| Nextract | strange | 04:17 |
| rudelerius | vee_: that depends on how you created them, but if you did not stray from the standard, then no | 04:17 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: no error lines at all in Xorg.0.log? | 04:18 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: hrm | 04:18 |
| scguy318 | demon_spork: after detecting and committing its results to /etc/modules, you'll prob have to modprobe the modules manually | 04:18 |
| robr | how do i close out of a '... | less' without using ctrl+z | 04:18 |
| scguy318 | demon_spork: or just reboot | 04:18 |
| mightyteegar | ctrl+c | 04:18 |
| rudelerius | vee_: if you go to System>Users and Groups you should see a list of all users | 04:18 |
| Nextract | done | 04:18 |
| vee_ | rudelerius I installed the server edition of ubuntu, then put the xubuntu desktop on | 04:18 |

| demon_spork | scguy318, rebooting didn't work | 04:18 |
| vee_ | rudelerius thats where i created other users so far | 04:19 |
| robr | mightyteegar: thx | 04:19 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: ok, next check just to make sure | 04:19 |
| scguy318 | robr: q | 04:19 |
| rudelerius | vee_: ok; well I don't know that much about the server edition, but there should be a user on your system named 'root' | 04:19 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: what kernel are you running? | 04:19 |
| rudelerius | vee_: that is the only true super user on the computer | 04:19 |
| vee_ | rudelerius i see it | 04:19 |
| robr | scguy318: thx i'll try that | 04:19 |
| vee_ | rudelerius i also gave him (ha) a pass that i created | 04:19 |
| rudelerius | vee_: all other users can have access to super user functionality, but it is not enabled by default | 04:19 |
| demon_spork | scguy318, xsensors won't even detect the sensor is there unless the module has been loaded, it is detecting the sensors but not reading any values from them | 04:19 |

| rudelerius | vee_: I am definitely no linux expert, but I believe you can remove access to sudo for other users, but if you wish to access super user privileges, you should definitely use sudo, and NOT login and work as the root user unless you absolutely have to | 04:22 |
| Nextract | nope | 04:22 |
| Nextract | none in that | 04:22 |
| mightyteegar | rudelerius: you can, in fact only the first user created can use sudo OOTB | 04:22 |
| TeslaDave | kelsin, rbil, mightyteegar and everyone else who helped, Thank You, i'm good to go, up and running | 04:22 |
| TeslaDave | Thanks | 04:22 |
| arooni | demon_spork, any ideas ? | 04:23 |
| rbil | TeslaDave: good | 04:23 |
| eido_ | rudelerius: you can also remove access to terminal all together i think | 04:23 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: ok, there's a problem ... fglrx isn't getting loaded properly | 04:23 |
| robr | is it possible to install PHP 5 with apt-get? | 04:23 |
| vee_ | rudelerius no.... the only reason i ask about that is that when I set up my two hdd system.... no one can write to the second drive | 04:23 |
| ank | hey does anyone know where the gui keyboard shortcuts stores the info | 04:23 |
| ank | ? | 04:23 |
| Nextract | i ran dkpg-reconfigure xorg-server | 04:23 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: need to think for a min. :) | 04:23 |
| ank | like what file? | 04:23 |
| vee_ | rudelerius the mount point is ..... media/second | 04:24 |
| Nextract | and chose fglrx | 04:24 |
| Nextract | and rebooted | 04:24 |
| pbx | robr, aptitude search php5 :) | 04:24 |
| Nextract | and thats the current stage i am at | 04:24 |
| Nextract | ok np :) | 04:24 |
| vee_ | rudelerius im not sure if that was the right thing to do | 04:24 |
| rbil | robr: apt-cache search php | 04:24 |
| sproingie | robr: yes, apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 | 04:24 |
| vee_ | rudelerius only root can rad and write to it | 04:24 |
| rudelerius | vee_: I don't know the reason that would be, other than the drive may not be formatted correctly, or it may not be mounted at startup, or the privileges may not be set up correctly | 04:24 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: ok, as an absolute last resort we'll uninstall the driver from the repo and then clean up any stray fglrx.ko modules on your system, but before we do that... | 04:24 |
| robr | thank you :) | 04:24 |
| vee_ | rudelerius i wanted all users to be able to | 04:25 |
| michael | hmm | 04:25 |
| rudelerius | vee_: you can do ls -l in the folder and see the permissions | 04:25 |
| vee_ | rudelerius it says only root has all access | 04:25 |
| kelsin | ank: in gconf, for example the metacity ones are in the apps/metacity/ keys | 04:25 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: when you ran locate fglrx.ko, what exactly did it find? | 04:25 |
| Nextract | u want me to paste in here? | 04:25 |
| michael | anyone know the cedega channel? | 04:25 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: no | 04:25 |
| michael | =/ | 04:25 |
| ank | kelsin: thanks | 04:25 |
| vee_ | rudelerius how do i change these permissions? | 04:25 |
| rudelerius | vee_: it might be a lot to explain here, but you can change the permissions so that all users have read and write access to that folder | 04:25 |
| kelsin | michael: "/join #cedega" | 04:26 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: b/c they'll start with a / and the irc will complain :) | 04:26 |
| rudelerius | vee_: type | 04:26 |
| Nextract | ok | 04:26 |
| Nextract | ill type it then | 04:26 |
| rudelerius | vee_: type 'man chmod' in a terminal | 04:26 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: type them out starting with a -, then the path name | 04:26 |
| vee_ | rudelerius i will | 04:26 |
| rudelerius | vee_: chmod will allow you to change the permissions; you might try googling for a more intuitive how-to or tutorial | 04:26 |
| vee_ | rudelerius ok... | 04:26 |
| Nextract | ./lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko) | 04:26 |
| Nextract | ./lib/modules/fglrx/fglrx.ko | 04:27 |

| Nextract | ./lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/fglrx.ko | 04:27 |
| Nextract | thats it | 04:27 |
| vee_ | rudelerius is logging in with root a bad idea to change the permissions? | 04:28 |
| rudelerius | vee_: use sudo | 04:28 |
| kelsin | vee_: it's ussually easier to use sudo on the command line, and safer | 04:28 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: ok, that's a lot but doesn't nec. mean anything yet... one more thing to look at | 04:28 |
| Nextract | ok | 04:28 |
| c00ly | hi, i just formatted to ubuntu and i need some help setting up so i can compile things, like g++ is not set up | 04:28 |
| vee_ | rudelerius ok.... sudo | 04:28 |
| c00ly | sudo -i :) | 04:28 |
| kelsin | c00ly: "sudo aptitude install build-essential" | 04:29 |
| c00ly | thanks | 04:29 |
| bruenig | not a good idea to use aptitude for meta-packages | 04:29 |
| c00ly | why? | 04:29 |
| bruenig | meta-package hell | 04:29 |
| bruenig | use apt-get | 04:29 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: /msg me your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 04:29 |
| Nextract | ok | 04:29 |
| c00ly | ok, so apt-get install build-essential? | 04:30 |
| eido_ | sudo apt-get | 04:30 |

| Nextract | it killed me for that | 04:31 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: oops :) i'm kind of an irc newb, any other way to get me that file? | 04:31 |
| rudelerius | vee_: that will work | 04:31 |
| mediahunter | i have heard of a few option | 04:31 |
| mediahunter | wicd madwifi and ndiswrapper | 04:31 |
| mediahunter | but what is the best for ubuntu 7.10 | 04:31 |
| mediahunter | so anyone have any help for me | 04:32 |
| bullgard4 | mightyteegar, Dr_willis : Thank you for explaining. | 04:32 |
| mediahunter | even if it is a good wiki or howto | 04:32 |
| rbil | mediahunter: I thought atheros just worked in 7.10 | 04:32 |
| mediahunter | keep in mine i am still a neb | 04:32 |
| Chico2 | umm, what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude? | 04:32 |
| mediahunter | rbill if it does mine is not for some reason | 04:32 |
| mediahunter | i have a acer aspire 3680 | 04:32 |

| Nextract | mightyteega i tried to DCC it | 04:32 |
| mediahunter | with a swtich and it does not lite up and i can not seem to see the wireless extension | 04:32 |
| Nextract | if that doesnt work | 04:33 |
| Nextract | ill put it on pastbin for ya | 04:33 |
| rbil | mediahunter: does it have a real switch to run it on or off? | 04:33 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: ok, how do i get to pastebin? | 04:33 |
| arooni | hey folks! none of my function keys are working (i can hit f1 and help launches... but when i try to map the deskbar to f3 for example... i cant :( i have gutsy. at some point this worked... but now it doesn't :(. | 04:33 |
| eido_ | !pastebin | 04:33 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 04:33 |
| sproingie | Chico2: aptitude has a gui interface, apt-get is just commandline. aptitude is smarter about dependencies too | 04:33 |
| mightyteegar | eido_: thx | 04:33 |
| aoeuid | does anyone know how I can install a certain USB mass storage driver on ubuntu? | 04:33 |
| Chico2 | sproingie: ah alright thanks | 04:34 |
| rudelerius | !lvm | 04:34 |
| ubotu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO | 04:34 |
| Nextract | mightyteegar ---> http://pastebin.com/m538cf1ad | 04:34 |
| aoeuid | it's a usb driver for a digital photo keychain | 04:34 |
| sproingie | Chico2: however, apt-get has super-cow powers, aptitude does not | 04:34 |

| c00ly | is that jre too? | 04:35 |
| kelsin | c00ly: yes, it pulls in the jre | 04:36 |
| genii | good night all | 04:36 |
| vee_ | rudelerius that worked! great. when I installed the OS was it the right thing/wise to have a mount point of media/.... should have it been something different? im not quite sure why you bounce off a directory on the main drive to get to another. | 04:36 |
| c00ly | :) teksavvy pwns | 04:36 |
| rudelerius | vee_: that is a logical place to mount a second drive (some might also use /mnt); it is like that because everything in linux is considered a file | 04:37 |
| * Freman curses ati | 04:38 | |
| rudelerius | vee_: your hard drives are file; folders are files; your sound card is a file; your monitor is a file; everything on your system is considered a file | 04:38 |
| rudelerius | vee_: glad that you got it working | 04:38 |

| mightyteegar | nextract: ok, made some edits to the one you posted... now do this | 04:40 |
| magic_ninja | i'm looking for a utility something like a linux-live cd but the comp i'm working no cannot handle a linux live cd | 04:40 |
| rudelerius | Can anyone help with a problem with a logical volume? | 04:40 |
| Chico2 | magic_ninja: why not? | 04:40 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: back up your current xorg.conf -- cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.WORKING | 04:40 |
| Nextract | ok | 04:41 |
| Nextract | done | 04:41 |
| magic_ninja | Chico2: its a damn p2 with reg sd ram like 396 mb | 04:41 |
| vee_ | rudelerius that makes sense... sorta...everything stems from one central point | 04:41 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: if for some reason this fails on the next part then just copy the .WORKING file back to xorg.conf | 04:41 |
| magic_ninja | Chico2: its from like 97 | 04:41 |
| Chico2 | oh haha, well not even text will work? | 04:41 |
| Nextract | ok np | 04:41 |
| rudelerius | vee_: everything is just a part of a single file system; the central point is the root / (not to be confused with the root user) | 04:42 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: go to the pastebin url http://pastebin.com/m5d5c8605 , copy the whole thing and overwrite your existing xorg.conf | 04:42 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: make sure you've backed up your current one first | 04:42 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: i cannot stress that part enough :) | 04:42 |
| Nextract | yep np | 04:42 |
| Nextract | i have dont worry | 04:42 |
| Nextract | :)# | 04:42 |
| o7andrew | :0 | 04:43 |
| Chico2 | we'll see if that's true in a few minutes :P | 04:43 |
| vee_ | rudelerius makes sense form a programming side of things... i know AS3 and thats set up like that | 04:43 |
| rudelerius | Anyone got any helpful knowledge about logical volumes? | 04:43 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: once you've edited your xorg.conf, hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart X -- this will kill your desktop session, obviously | 04:43 |
| rudelerius | vee_: it probably has its advantages and disadvantages | 04:43 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: before you do that... | 04:43 |
| vee_ | rudelerius what other places would one mount a drive? | 04:44 |
| echosystm | can someone recommend a mixer for me? | 04:44 |
| echosystm | i have an audiophile 24/96 soundcard | 04:44 |
| echosystm | xfce4-mixer doesnt seem to recognise it | 04:44 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: if your X comes back up, log in and run fglrxinfo and tell me what you get | 04:44 |
| rudelerius | vee_: /mnt is a common place to mount a hard drive | 04:44 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: and whenever you're ready, go ahead and restart X | 04:44 |
| Nextract | ok | 04:45 |
| Nextract | here goes | 04:45 |
| rudelerius | vee_: /media is now more commonly used for temporary devices like a USB flash drive or CD/DVD drive | 04:45 |
| mightyteegar | echosystm: what sound engine are you using? (alsa,oss,etc.)? | 04:45 |
| vee_ | rudelerius can i remount in that are? | 04:45 |
| echosystm | whatever is installed by default | 04:46 |
| echosystm | alsa i think? | 04:46 |
| mightyteegar | echosystm: from a terminal, run alsamixer | 04:46 |
| echosystm | sound works fine | 04:46 |
| echosystm | i just want to change the vol | 04:46 |
| echosystm | ok, does that have a taskbar icon? | 04:46 |
| rudelerius | vee_: you can, but it doesn't really make a difference if it is mounted in /media or /mnt; your system will function the same with it mounted in either place | 04:46 |
| Nextract | still the same | 04:46 |
| rbil | echosystem: in a terminal run ... alsamixer | 04:46 |
| Nextract | Still saying mesa | 04:46 |
| Nextract | when i do fglrxinfo | 04:46 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 04:46 |
| Nextract | ill check | 04:47 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: i've gone through this before with my radeon x300, so all of this is coming off the top of my brain :) | 04:47 |
| echosystm | i know how to do that rbil, but im after something that runs in the sys tray etc. | 04:47 |
| echosystm | does such a thing exist? | 04:47 |
| Nextract | cool | 04:48 |
| Nextract | thanks so much ur helping me | 04:48 |
| rudelerius | Can anyone help with a question about logical volumes? | 04:48 |
| Nextract | :) | 04:48 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: one day it magically worked, until i upgraded to gutsy and had to finally say goodbye to it :) | 04:48 |
| Nextract | ok | 04:48 |
| Nextract | http://pastebin.com/m6cd7d27d <---- xorg log | 04:48 |

| rbil | echosystm: maybe this? http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/08/15/gvtray-a-volume-control-for-your-system-tray/ | 04:48 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: errors! k, need to look this over and think a bit | 04:49 |
| rudelerius | vee_: was part of your problem also that you could not access the share from your mac? | 04:49 |
| vee_ | rudelerius yes, i had two | 04:50 |
| arooni | how do i list file permissions as a number (066, 075) etc... for a given file or directory? | 04:50 |
| kelsin_ | arooni: ls -l | 04:50 |
| rudelerius | vee_: can you at least find the machine from the mac? | 04:50 |
| Nextract | kk np | 04:50 |
| Nextract | :) | 04:50 |
| vee_ | rudelerius let me try | 04:50 |
| defyence | I finally figured out how to install Pidgin (2.3.0), got it all done, did it by compiling the source code... | 04:51 |
| defyence | ...And it won't open. Any advice? | 04:51 |
| rudelerius | vee_: try pinging the IP address of the ubuntu server the share is on and see if you get a response | 04:51 |
| cloudpersona | how do I find out what the default gateway for my computer is? | 04:51 |
| FluxD | defyence: what did typing in pidgin show? | 04:51 |
| kelsin_ | FluxD: "route" or "route -n" if it's slow, it's the gateway for the 0.0.0.0 address | 04:51 |
| cloudpersona | thank you. | 04:52 |
| rudelerius | cloudpersona: try ip route show | 04:52 |
| defyence | FluxD: One second, I tried opening it my classic Windows-trained-brain way by double-clicking the icon... Lemme try it. :P | 04:52 |
| FluxD | cloudpersona: system administration network | 04:52 |
| vee_ | rudelerius i got it mounted on my desktop of my mac..... i imagine that i have to get SAMBA to work if I want to get to thst server remotely? | 04:52 |
| defyence | pidgin: error while loading shared libraries: libpurple.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 04:52 |
| FluxD | kelsin_: I think u mean cloudpersona :) | 04:52 |
| defyence | Well, that helped. Now I know the problem! :D Thanks, FluxD | 04:53 |
| echosystm | if i was running a game in a window | 04:53 |
| FluxD | defyence: did u have that compile too? | 04:53 |
| kelsin_ | FluxD: yeah, I must be really tired, been doing that all night when lines scroll as I'm finding a name :) | 04:53 |
| echosystm | how would i get it to release the mouse? | 04:53 |
| defyence | FluxD: Nope | 04:53 |
| echosystm | like, in windows you would just alt-tab | 04:53 |
| rudelerius | vee_: clarify; you do in fact see the share on the desktop of your mac? if so, presumably you just cannot access it? | 04:53 |
| FluxD | cloudpersona: kelsin_> FluxD: "route" or "route -n" if it's slow, it's the gateway for the 0.0.0.0 address | 04:53 |
| kelsin_ | defyence: did you run "sudo make install" yet? | 04:53 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: ok, now we try the last resort | 04:53 |
| FluxD | kelsin_: no problemo :) | 04:53 |
| defyence | kelsin_: Yes, I did | 04:53 |
| === kelsin_ is now known as kelsin | ||
| mightyteegar | nextract: this part's a bear | 04:54 |
| zynergi | hrm.. can anyone see what's wrong with this mysql query im trying to add? http://pastebin.com/d42a13fe0 | 04:54 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: don't do anything just yet, but here's what we're going to do: | 04:54 |
| kelsin | zynergi: can you pastebin the error? | 04:55 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: uninstall every fglrx driver on the system, uninstall everything to do with mesa and remove all those stray fglrx.ko modules | 04:55 |
| vee_ | rudelerius i can access it and read.write | 04:55 |
| FluxD | zynergi: probably ask in sql channel :) | 04:55 |
| vee_ | rudelerius it works on my mac desktop and not the other way around | 04:55 |
| zynergi | http://pastebin.com/d54860964 is the error | 04:55 |
| rudelerius | vee_: ah, ok, so your problem then is that you cannot write from your ubuntu server to your mac? is that correct? | 04:56 |
| kelsin | zynergi: I didn't think alter table could take multiple adds, might try making two alter table statements, past that yeah you probably should ask in a db channel | 04:56 |
| vee_ | rudelerius yes | 04:56 |
| Nextract | mightyteegar: im not sure how to do all that, kindof a nix newb tbh | 04:56 |
| kelsin | zynergi: also maybe adding a ; to the end of the first full statement | 04:56 |
| defyence | Hmm, trying to find the answer to this one still... | 04:56 |
| zynergi | kelsin; doh | 04:56 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: that's why i'm here :) it's actually not hard, just time-consuming | 04:56 |
| Nextract | ok ty :) | 04:57 |
| rudelerius | vee_: ok, then I am not sure I can help you; the problem is likely with a setting on the mac; you probably need to set up the mac to allow access from remote machines and I don't have any idea how to do that | 04:57 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: first fire up synaptic | 04:57 |
| Nextract | kk | 04:57 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: and search for "fglrx" (no quotes) | 04:57 |
| MasterShrek | defyence, you are compiling pidgin 2.3.0 from source, correct? | 04:57 |
| rudelerius | vee_: unless the mac is running ubuntu as well... | 04:57 |
| Nextract | ok came up with 2 things | 04:57 |
| rudelerius | Anyone got helps for me on logical volumes? (Yes, I'm still asking!) | 04:57 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: xserver driver and what else? | 04:57 |
| Nextract | Restricted Drivers manager | 04:57 |
| vee_ | rudelerius it is set to share... where would i find the mac drive mounted on the ubuntu server | 04:58 |
| kelsin | defyence: did you let it install in the default /usr/local? | 04:58 |
| Nextract | and the ATI Driver | 04:58 |
| MasterShrek | defyence, what ./configure options did you use? | 04:58 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: ok, you need the rest. driver. mgr. so leave that. mark the ati driver for uninstall | 04:58 |
| Nextract | done | 04:58 |
| defyence | kelsin: No, I put it somewhere... else.... | 04:58 |
| Baumer | Hi I need some help with audacity and no one seems to be alive in #audacity... So my recording does not work at all... anyone here use Audacity on ubuntu? | 04:59 |
| bullgard4 | [Gutsy, Gnome] In the main menu, clicking on 'Applications' will open a sub-menu. Is there in it a menu item 'Utilities'? Or what is the English name of it? | 04:59 |
| rudelerius | vee_: honestly, I am not sure. using the nautilus file browser in gnome, I navigate to ///network and I can find the other machines on my network | 04:59 |
| kelsin | defyence: probably not a default library path place then and ldd can't find the libpurple library, if you know where it put it's libs you can temporailiy run "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/pigin/lib pidgin" to run it | 04:59 |
| vee_ | rudelerius lemme try | 04:59 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: next search for mesa | 05:00 |
| MasterShrek | defyence, what configure options did you use when you compiled? thats the reason its not finding libpurple, you probably didnt use the right options | 05:00 |
| defyence | kelsin: I thought they all went to the same place... Then it's looking for it somewhere else? Thanks for your help, I'll try that. | 05:00 |
| Nextract | all it found was GNUBik | 05:00 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: and *write down* these packages (you may need to reinstall them later) | 05:00 |
| Nextract | a game | 05:00 |
| rudelerius | vee_: you could also try typing in the name of the mac in the same manner; e.g. ///mac/shared_folder | 05:00 |
| vee_ | rudelerius is Applications>Network the place to look? | 05:00 |
| kelsin | defyence: it might be depending on where you told it to install | 05:00 |
| defyence | MasterShrek: I couldn't tell you exactly | 05:00 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: when you searched for "mesa" you didn't get a whole bunch of results? | 05:00 |
| defyence | Look before you what now? :P | 05:00 |
| rudelerius | vee_: try Places>Network | 05:00 |
| Nextract | no | 05:00 |
| Nextract | only one | 05:00 |
| schone | hi all | 05:01 |
| Nextract | and it was a game called GNUBrik | 05:01 |
| rudelerius | vee_: not sure if XFCE has a "Places" | 05:01 |
| kelsin | defyence: you normally should not install to /usr since that's where ubuntu packages often install to. Most source packages install to /usr/local/ which is good. If you put it somewhere other than those to then it might not know where to find the files | 05:01 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: ok, that's fine, gimme a min. | 05:01 |
| vee_ | rudelerius dont see it... ha | 05:01 |
| Nextract | kk np | 05:01 |
| rudelerius | Hi schone | 05:01 |
| vee_ | rudelerius has to be somewhere else | 05:01 |
| schone | trying to get the emerald themer running but having problems installing svn, is there a certain method to do this? (sorry first time using linux) | 05:01 |
| Gilgad | Hello, I'm having a problem with the latest firefox update conflicting causing xml parsing errors. Anyone with similar problems? | 05:01 |
| rudelerius | vee_: I agree, but since I don't have access to XFCE, it will be difficult for me advise you where to go | 05:02 |
| MasterShrek | defyence, i think you want ./configure --prefix=/usr | 05:02 |
| vee_ | rudelerius how can if nautilous is installed?? | 05:02 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: now, run sudo rmmod fglrx | 05:02 |
| defyence | MasterShrek: Trying that now, thanks :) | 05:03 |
| Nextract | ok | 05:03 |
| rudelerius | vee_: it is just the file browser, like Windows Explorer; XFCE certainly has a file browser | 05:03 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: now, run locate fglrx.ko again and delete every one you find | 05:03 |
| MasterShrek | defyence, also there is a debian package out there, it would probably be easier/faster | 05:03 |
| kelsin | defyence: remeber that --prefix /usr will conflict with the debian package should you install that too | 05:04 |
| DaveC | Anyone aware of a script that will automatically replace a folder icon with the album art? | 05:04 |
| rudelerius | Schone, sorry but I can't help with the Emerald Themer; I don't know anything about it | 05:04 |
| defyence | MasterShrek: Yeah, but for some reason I felt motivated to try and figure out something that my friend said would be harder, since I have nothing to lose right now... | 05:04 |
| vee_ | rudelerius ok.... well i can find Applications>Network.... but the ony things in there are firfox, mozilla thunder., and pidgin | 05:04 |
| defyence | I'm weird like that. | 05:04 |
| rudelerius | I still need help with logical volumes- can anyone help?? | 05:04 |
| kelsin | DaveC: http://my.opera.com/sjosul/blog/2007/10/28/album-art-as-folder-icon-in-gnome | 05:04 |
| Gilgad | Hello, I'm having a problem with the latest firefox update conflicting causing xml parsing errors. Anyone with similar problems? | 05:05 |
| MasterShrek | defyence, yea, its nice to know how to compile things, but thats kinda the point of ubuntu, to not have to do things like that | 05:05 |
| DaveC | kelsin: Awesome! You rock. Thanks mate. | 05:05 |
| rudelerius | vee_: you should have a 'home' folder or a 'Computer' folder or icon | 05:05 |
| vee_ | rudelerius i am in the Home folder. | 05:05 |
| rudelerius | gilgad: have not installed 3.0 yet; waiting for official release | 05:05 |
| kelsin | DaveC: I've wanted to do that for a while too, :) glad it came up so quick in google lol | 05:05 |
| Gilgad | rudelerius: no, i'm talking 2.0.0.11 | 05:06 |
| DaveC | kelsin: I suppose that I wasn't using the proper terms. Thanks again. | 05:06 |
| Nextract | mightyteegar: all done | 05:06 |
| rudelerius | vee_: you should have an address bar or buttons that show where you are in the file system (if buttons, you can change in view or somewhere) | 05:06 |
| Nextract | i did locate again just to check | 05:06 |
| Baumer | Is there a good simple program that works well for ubuntu to convert .midi to .wav | 05:06 |
| Nextract | it lists nothin | 05:06 |
| Nextract | so all done | 05:06 |
| rudelerius | gilgad: oh. sorry; I haven't had problems, but only used sparingly so far. sorry | 05:06 |
| Gilgad | vee_: if it helps, the default explorer for xfce is "thunar" | 05:06 |
| vee_ | rudelerius changed to location... whats next? | 05:07 |
| Gilgad | rudelerius: meh, thanks anyway | 05:07 |
| rudelerius | gilgad: thanks; I know next to nothing about XFCE | 05:07 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: ok ... go to this address http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide and follow Method 2 | 05:07 |
| defyence | MasterShrek: This is just a diving board for me. I want to get used to it on an OS I can still function on regularly, and be given the option to do more advanced work while still being comfortable and functional. :) | 05:07 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: before you do that | 05:07 |
| Gilgad | rudelerius: yea, installed it once, what does he need? | 05:07 |
| Nextract | ok | 05:07 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: i made a small change to that xorg.conf file, here's the new one: http://pastebin.com/m195b04ec | 05:08 |
| rudelerius | vee_: type in the name of the mac and the name of the shared folder e.g. ///macname/share | 05:08 |
| MasterShrek | defyence, thats the reason i switched back off ubuntu, i didnt like how the advanced things worked, kernel compiles and such were just a pain in the arse | 05:08 |
| vee_ | rudelerius now it looks more like exploror.... you can now type in an addy | 05:08 |
| Nextract | ok | 05:08 |
| vee_ | rudelerius ok | 05:08 |
| defyence | MasterShrek: Oh, really? Bugger. :P Lol | 05:08 |
| Nextract | and i should rewrite the existing with this one? | 05:08 |
| MasterShrek | =P | 05:08 |
| rudelerius | gigad: trying to find his mac share from his ubuntu; I know nothing about macs either! | 05:08 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: follow that guide, use that new xorg.conf and tell me what happens | 05:08 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: yep | 05:08 |
| Gilgad | rudelerius: yea, i'm no help there | 05:08 |

| MasterShrek | no prob defyence | 05:10 |
| Gilgad | rudelerius: logical volume as in partitioning? | 05:10 |
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: I have a 3.5" disk usb | 05:10 |
| BernieMac | I can't use CTRL+ALT+L/R to switch between workspaces(shortcuts are set to this) but I can click to other spaces or mouse wheel to them. Anyone know why this is? | 05:10 |
| kakalto | why? shouldn't either the nv or even vesa driver kick in? | 05:10 |
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: i installed Fedora 7 on it | 05:10 |
| mightyteegar | rudelerius: 3.5 floppy? | 05:10 |
| gorath | can any one help me with my problem?? | 05:10 |
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: nope; from my laptop that died | 05:10 |
| Gilgad | BernieMac: you using stock ubuntu? | 05:10 |
| mightyteegar | rudelerius: oh hdd, ok go on | 05:11 |
| Nextract | mightyteegar | 05:11 |
| Nextract | small problem | 05:11 |
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: I want to access the Fedora install, but I only see the /boot partition | 05:11 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: whats up? | 05:11 |
| BernieMac | yes, feisty, been a while since I was in ubuntu, currently installing 150 updates... | 05:11 |
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: the rest of the install is on a logical volume and I don't know how to mount it | 05:11 |
| Nextract | when i tried to do "debconf libstdc++5 linux-headers-generic" | 05:11 |
| Nextract | i get an error | 05:11 |
| gorath | hello | 05:11 |
| rudelerius | gilgad: not partitioning really; need to mount a logical volume on a usb hard drive | 05:12 |
| gorath | ??\ | 05:12 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: you need to put the \ at the end of that line | 05:12 |
| Gilgad | BernieMac: preferences > keyboard shortcuts have anything? | 05:12 |
| Nextract | ok | 05:12 |
| mightyteegar | nextract: debconf etc. are packages -- that's one large apt-get install command there | 05:12 |
| jscinoz | Hey guys, im packaging the closed source, but free to distribute game, Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory, is there any need to have the game engine and game data in separate packages when they are under the same license? And the included anti-cheat software; punkbuster is forbidden to redistrbute, and such should i remove it from the package? | 05:12 |
| Gilgad | rudelerius: sounds ugly | 05:12 |
| gorath | hello can any one give me a hand here?? | 05:12 |
| rudelerius | gilgad: i am taking a class on fedora, I wouldn't use it otherwise | 05:12 |
| Nextract | ok well apparently i had them | 05:13 |
| Nextract | it said 0 install removed and upgraded | 05:13 |
| mightyteegar | rudelerius: do you have the common lvm tools installed? | 05:13 |
| BernieMac | Gilgad: the switch to workspace on left and on right are set to the default ctrl+alt+left/right | 05:13 |
| rudelerius | gilgad: and I took the disk on vacation and saved all my photos on the disk; now I want to mount the drive and get the pictures | 05:13 |
| schone | worked it out rudelrius - had to edit the sources.list file | 05:13 |
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: I did install the lvm2 package and whatever other dep synaptic flagged | 05:13 |
| Gilgad | BernieMac: but it doesn't actually do that? and do you have compiz installed? | 05:14 |
| schone | one more question - where can you get the latest nvidia drivers for a 8800 gts for ubuntu? | 05:14 |
| mightyteegar | rudelerius: what does lvscan return | 05:14 |
| rudelerius | schone: under Administration>Restricted Drivers | 05:14 |
| BernieMac | Gilgad: correct doesn't do that. I installed the Feisty update from Gutsy, there are a lot of compiz updates that I saw that are currently installing. Beyond that I'm not sure | 05:15 |
| gorath | can some one help me setup animated backrounds in ubuntu gusty 64bit?? tried alot of things and cant get it to work....and im really new to the whole linux thing | 05:15 |

| vladtzu | What would the mount command to mount my second hard drive (one big ntfs partition) to /home/josh/data be? | 05:17 |
| bullgard4 | waz: What do you consider an 'administration program'? | 05:17 |
| Gilgad | BernieMac: I'd wait till gusty is fully installed, then see whats up | 05:17 |
| mightyteegar | rudelerius: before we talk tech -- what exactly are you wanting to accomplish? | 05:17 |
| mightyteegar | rudelerius: pulling data from fedora? | 05:17 |
| MasterShrek | vladtzu, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g (for read/write permissions) | 05:17 |
| === mrpockets is now known as MrPockets | ||
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: I want to mount the logical volume from within ubuntu and pull jpegs from the drive | 05:17 |
| MasterShrek | vladtzu, then: ntfs-3g /dev/xxxx /home/josh/data (replace xxxx with teh device name of the hard drive) | 05:18 |
| vladtzu | Thanks MasterShrek | 05:18 |
| mightyteegar | rudelerius: and delete them from the lvm later? | 05:18 |
| BernieMac | Gilgad: I thought it was fully installed but it could be installing compiz now. done in 10 minutes I will let you know if anything changes. Thanks! | 05:18 |
| gorath | Can NE 1 help me ?? | 05:18 |
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: ultimately, yes; it is not important to me that they remain on the usb disk after I pull them down to the ubuntu machine | 05:18 |
| bullgard4 | arooni: In a terminal, do 'uname -r' | 05:19 |
| shadowblade | Trying to get my wireless card working on my dell laptop, can someone help? | 05:19 |
| mightyteegar | rudelerius: what i'm getting at is it might be easier to boot to fedora and move the jpegs to your ubuntu partition | 05:19 |
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: I use the fedora install for a class that I am taking on intro to linux | 05:19 |

| gorath | hello?? | 05:20 |
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: understood; unfortunately, I cannot get the fedora system to boot on the machine; bios has not boot from usb device option and setting up the disk as the primary boot disk causes the system to stop in GRUB | 05:20 |
| bullgard4 | arooni: It's 2.6.22-14-generic | 05:20 |
| mightyteegar | gorath: explain "animated backgrounds" | 05:20 |
| vladtzu | MasterShrek: How would I figure out what the device name of the hard drive is? I would'v eassumed it'd be /dev/hdb, but I don't see hd anything in my /dev folder o.o | 05:20 |

| bullgard4 | waz: I am not very much familiar with SuSE. I cannot help you finding a Yast equivalent in Ubuntu. | 05:21 |
| theAtom | hi | 05:21 |
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: I'm sure I can find another workaround if you think I am unlikely to be successful; I can take the disk to work and boot from the machine there and burn the files to CD; that may be my best option | 05:21 |
| theAtom | how can I make Firefox support Adobe PDF files? | 05:21 |
| waz | bullgard4: thanks anyway :) | 05:21 |
| bazhang | waz: no functional equivalent to yast in Ubuntu | 05:21 |

| MasterShrek | vladtzu, sudo fdisk -l will give you a list of partitions | 05:21 |
| vladtzu | Danke | 05:22 |
| mightyteegar | rudelerius: can you mount /dev/sdd2 somewhere? | 05:22 |
| rudelerius | mightyteegar: I thought I might actually be able to do it from home and mount the logical volume on this machine; would save time and trouble; well, maybe time at lease :) | 05:22 |
| rudelerius | lest | 05:22 |
| rudelerius | least! | 05:22 |

| allnightarockin | Hey, i was wondering if anyone knew how to setup an ethernet bridge through wifi.. it would be like this. Modem>Router>Wifi(laptop)>Ethernet device?? i have a topic opened up here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3895160#post3895160 | 05:29 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek, not much, just fixing / tweaking various things | 05:30 |
| MasterShrek | word | 05:30 |
| danbhfive | arooni: maybe you could reinstall the kernel package | 05:30 |
| Cpudan80 | I would install Adobe Reader | 05:30 |
| MasterShrek | shadowblade, extract the files in that folder to /lib/firmware | 05:30 |
| arooni | how do i revert this: rm -rf linux && ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.23 linux && cd /usr/src/linux (i was *about to recompile the kernel*) ... but what do i do now? | 05:30 |
| tonyr1988 | I have an external, USB hard drive that isn't detected by lsusb and doesn't throw anything in dmesg. What could be the problem (other USB devices work fine)? | 05:30 |
| arooni | danbhfive, how do i do that | 05:30 |
| theAtom | Cpudan80, cheers | 05:30 |
| Cpudan80 | The default Ubuntu one is a little squirrelly | 05:30 |
| MasterShrek | shadowblade, you need to use sudo to do that, afterwards do: sudo modprobe bcm43xx | 05:30 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek, u pointed him to broadcom firmwares, i have a different chip but how would i flash the firmware on it? | 05:30 |
| mightyteegar | tonyr1988, does this drive work on other OSes? | 05:30 |
| danbhfive | arooni: well, I would try Synaptic, but obviously, if you can reboot, you are fine | 05:30 |
| theAtom | Cpudan80, apt-get install pdffoxplugin ? | 05:30 |
| MasterShrek | Evanlec, you dont flash the firmware at all, it gets loaded upon boot | 05:31 |
| blackfox__ | wine dxdiag.exe only can use windows 98/me? | 05:31 |
| Cpudan80 | theAtom: Sounds like a winner | 05:31 |
| arooni | danbhfive, i'd rather not try rebooting unless i'm sure that it will work | 05:31 |
| MasterShrek | what kind of chip is it Evanlec? | 05:31 |
| Cpudan80 | theAtom: That might not be the name of the package | 05:31 |
| theAtom | Cpudan80, E: Couldn't find package mozillapdf | 05:31 |

| juggy | hey left, on ds but in channel! thnx! | 05:33 |
| echosystm | pclinuxos did the same thing, without me installing any drivers | 05:33 |
| echosystm | it was worse though | 05:33 |
| MasterShrek | i agree Evanlec, but i wouldnt know where to begin looking for firmware for it. took me ages to figure out my broadcom chip lol | 05:33 |
| Nextract | hey all | 05:33 |
| mightyteegar | hey nextract | 05:33 |

| tonyr1988 | mightyteegar, No problem. Thanks for the help. | 05:34 |
| MasterShrek | arooni, reinstall your kernel-sources packages | 05:35 |
| MasterShrek | package(s) | 05:35 |

| Evanlec | MasterShrek, gimpshop = gimp with photoshop keybindings | 05:37 |
| MasterShrek | theAtom, search synaptic for: mozilla pdf | 05:37 |
| MasterShrek | oh, i never knew Evanlec | 05:37 |
| * MasterShrek doesnt do much photo editing | 05:38 | |
| allnightarockin | I really dont like gimp that much.. but it is alright after you get used to it | 05:38 |
| arooni | MasterShrek, i'm not seeing anything there | 05:38 |
| Condoulo | is dreamweaver MX 2004 capable of being run under Crossover | 05:38 |
| * MasterShrek doesnt do alot of one specific thing, but a little of lots of different things | 05:38 | |
| MasterShrek | arooni, what did you put in the search box? | 05:38 |

| theAtom | <wishmaster> theatom just install adobe pdf for linux <--- How? | 05:39 |
| Condoulo | I myself find GIMP much easier to use than Photoshop. But I guess for those that learned image editing using Photoshop, I guess GIMP can be kind of... alien to them | 05:39 |
| Condoulo | MasterShrek- I am installing it right now. hoping it will work. | 05:39 |
| MasterShrek | theAtom, arooni, sorry you two, im not on ubuntu, i dont know the specific package names | 05:39 |

| rxndx | alain: You need compiz-fusion | 05:52 |
| CyberMad | MasterShrek thanks | 05:52 |
| MasterShrek | Merphy, i dont know, its maybe possible, but theres a very good chance you will break your box, i would suggest backing up your /home directory and any config files you want to save, then reinstalling with 7.10 | 05:52 |
| eido | Sefram: try #compiz-fusion if you haven't already | 05:52 |
| alain | i have compiz running now.. http://youtube.com/watch?v=NAIfkmqyNOk&watch_response <--- this effect i mean | 05:52 |

| Regarok | yeah i have 1 gig and runs smooth too | 05:54 |
| Regarok | with compiz | 05:54 |
| MasterShrek | interesting Merphy, well its got something do with your gfx card im assuming, the alternate installer is a text-based installer, more likely to work if all you get to is a command prompt on the desktop install cd | 05:54 |
| allnightarockin | ill have to test it out sometime.. im not much for the whole flashy look anyway.. thinking about going back to fluxbox.. gnome feels so bloated | 05:54 |
| Sefram | do i need Xinerama and TwinView (nvidia driver) both enabled in xorg.conf for dual-head compiz? | 05:54 |
| MasterShrek | fluxbox ftw | 05:55 |

| MasterShrek | well i run kde on my laptop, but my headless server has an invisible head which is fluxbox =P | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis | Sefram, you normally dont enable both Xinerams and Twinview. | 05:55 |
| CyberMad | btw, so what apt-get remove do? is that just delete the package? but i'm curious when i did apt-get install wine, the installation so fast.. i think ubuntu save it somewhere.. | 05:55 |
| Merphy | ok | 05:55 |
| MasterShrek | CyberMad, it saves the actual pacakage i think, apt-get remove will remove the binaries, and docs and stuff, purge will remove all configuration files too | 05:56 |
| allnightarockin | CyberMad- i was wondering about that too. been trying to figure out where it stores the install files.. because it doesnt take 2 seconds to download 60 mb | 05:56 |
| FluxD | CyberMad: it "uninstalls" | 05:56 |
| Sefram | Dr_willis: wich one it the better choice? I remember a TwinView setup working, but i lost my xorg.conf (head crash grrr..)... | 05:56 |
| MasterShrek | /var/apt/cache or something | 05:56 |
| arooni | is this bad to see on gutsy: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 21 2007-12-05 21:05 linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.23 | 05:56 |

| noob101 | i've heard metacity can do compositing ... will it be going to be official for ubuntu? instead of compiz-fusion? | 05:57 |
| MasterShrek | arooni, not really, its just source code | 05:57 |
| Dr_willis | Sefram, twinview is nvidia implemetation of the xinirama+more stuff.. | 05:57 |
| arooni | MasterShrek, i thought it was going to screw thigns up | 05:57 |

| allnightarockin | vee_ iwconfig i believe | 05:57 |
| MasterShrek | arooni, it shouldnt | 05:57 |
| allnightarockin | i lose | 05:57 |
| FluxD | vee_: ifconfig -a | 05:57 |
| Pandemic | Hi | 05:57 |
| CyberMad | MasterShrek so, apt-get install wine... will save the package to /var/apt/cache, then do apt-get remove wine just uninstall the program, but not delete the config and cache files,.. for complete removal / uninstallation apt-get purge wine, correct? :) thanks all guru! | 05:58 |
| Sefram | cool then ill choose twinview. Is Xinerame for the nv driver poeple? | 05:58 |
| arooni | MasterShrek, is there a way to make sure the kernel is happy and installed & such ... without restarting and seeing if it fails (i hate checking this way) | 05:58 |
| Pandemic | Anyone willing to try to help me with a graphics driver issue? | 05:58 |
| vee_ | bullgard4, allnightarockin i uused ifconfig | 05:58 |
| MasterShrek | soudns right CyberMad, i dont know if purge will remove the saved package in cache, but apt-get clean will remove all the cached packages | 05:58 |
| MasterShrek | arooni, well, did you install a new kernel? | 05:59 |
| Pandemic | Anyone? | 05:59 |
| vee_ | bullgard4, allnightarockin whats the diff. between ifconfig and iwconfig?? | 05:59 |
| MasterShrek | arooni, did you copy a kernel image and run a make_modules ? | 05:59 |
| CyberMad | MasterShrek thanks | 05:59 |
| MasterShrek | Pandemic, what brand is the card? | 05:59 |
| MasterShrek | np CyberMad | 05:59 |
| vee_ | bullgard4, allnightarockin ha... wireless | 05:59 |
| bullgard4 | vee_: yes | 05:59 |
| MasterShrek | vee_, iwconfig is for wifi cards | 06:00 |

| allnightarockin | =] | 06:02 |
| crdlb | bullgard4: what are some of the things in it? | 06:02 |
| arooni | MasterShrek, ok good... sounds like i'm OK | 06:02 |
| MasterShrek | arooni, as long as you didnt mess with anything in /boot or /lib/modules youll be fine | 06:02 |
| arooni | no didnt | 06:02 |
| MasterShrek | or /etc/init.d | 06:02 |

| Ademan | anyone know of a source code generating utility? preferably command line. I'm thinking similar to gnome's template files but more flexible (might contain variables for text replacement and such) | 06:03 |
| crdlb | Pandemic: you still haven't asked an actual question :) | 06:03 |
| allnightarockin | Yeah it was like a 3 page letter lol. Talking about everything i hate in microsoft/issues with it.. such as internet explorer being integrated into the core of the system | 06:03 |
| vee_ | FluxD what does the "-a" part mean? | 06:03 |
| allnightarockin | Ademan... im not sure. but i think GCC ???? someone clerify | 06:03 |
| Pandemic | Oh, well sorry, MasterShrek said he didn't have any experience with Intel cards, and no one else seemed to be interested in helping me. | 06:03 |
| FluxD | vee_: I thought it did something but it seems to be same as ifconfig | 06:03 |
| Pandemic | In any case, my graphics driver won't load. | 06:03 |
| Ademan | allnightarockin: not quite what i'm looking for but thanks | 06:03 |
| MasterShrek | vee_, it means to list all the interfaces, whether they are enabled | 06:03 |
| MasterShrek | or not | 06:04 |
| Pandemic | I should also mention that I'm using Mint 4.0, not Ubuntu. | 06:04 |

| allnightarockin | ademan yeah i misread it.. then was like wow i look like an idiot lol | 06:04 |
| vee_ | FluxD good to know | 06:04 |
| Ademan | haha don't worry about it | 06:04 |
| MasterShrek | vee_, if you had a network interface down, ifconfig wouldnt show it, but ifconfig -a would | 06:04 |
| Pandemic | crdlb: Sorry, I'm also a bit of an IRC noob. | 06:04 |
| FluxD | vee_: it does something check manpage | 06:04 |
| robc4 | Pandemic, how do you like it? | 06:04 |
| MasterShrek | FluxD, if you had a network interface down, ifconfig wouldnt show it, but ifconfig -a would | 06:04 |

| thor | arnuld when you open the browser to 'localhost:631' do you get prompted for a password? | 06:20 |
| rxndx | vee_: there is your GUI :) | 06:20 |
| vee_ | rxndx use the Putty, nice | 06:21 |
| rxndx | ;) | 06:21 |
| arnuld | thor: no but when I "Add Prinetr" and select the relevant PPD then I get a window for user/passwd. Thta i show I did that on BLAG, Arch and other distros and they work fine | 06:21 |
| threefcata | allnightarockin: i don't quite get you, i'm a bit confused, my net is like this: ADSL->modem->XP->wifi->ubuntu, i want the ubuntu machine to be able to get online as well. | 06:21 |
| vee_ | :) | 06:22 |
| thor | arnuld ok...so you CAN get into localhost:631, you just can't add a printer there | 06:22 |
| rxndx | vee_: did it work? | 06:22 |
| arnuld | thor: YES | 06:22 |
| vee_ | trying right now... | 06:22 |
| arnuld | thor: what to do ? | 06:22 |
| rxndx | cool | 06:22 |
| allnightarockin | threefcata Buy a wireless router? | 06:22 |
| rxndx | vee_: how do I direct my comments to you so they turn red? | 06:23 |
| allnightarockin | just put there name in it and it appears like that | 06:23 |
| vee_ | rxndx not sure .... im using bubble style | 06:23 |
| rxndx | ahh cool, thx | 06:23 |
| allnightarockin | mmhmm | 06:23 |
| sleepercivic88 | Hi im running a daap on gutsy using mt-daap from the repo. but I have it running and did the initial scan. The problem is that the server is not seeing all my music I deleted the /var/cashed/mt-daap/songs3.db and rescaned and im only seeing 540 songs out of my 60 gigs of music any ideas ohh and thanks again | 06:23 |
| sleepercivic88 | am I annoying by reposting my problem ? | 06:23 |
| thor | arnuld not sure....I am into cups on my laptop and I don't get prompted to login for anything...but I don't have another printer to test with. | 06:23 |
| zero-9376 | how can i clean printer heads for my i560 | 06:23 |
| vee_ | rxndx it says ...... do you want to continue..... y/n | 06:24 |
| threefcata | allnightarockin: that's gonna take me 3 hours drive to get to town...now i can ping ubuntu on xp and also vice versa, i figure it's just the sharing thing is not working.. | 06:24 |
| rxndx | vee_ press y | 06:24 |
| vee_ | rxndx kewl | 06:24 |
| arnuld | thor: so, you have no idea :-\ | 06:24 |
| thor | ah...you are trying to add a ppd file? | 06:24 |
| rxndx | vee_ :) | 06:24 |
| thor | arnuld do you have a ppd file you are trying to add? | 06:24 |
| arnuld | thor: I tried both, PPD file and a printer model | 06:24 |
| mhimhinkcakep | anto | 06:24 |
| vee_ | rxndx i have the putty gui up! | 06:25 |
| rxndx | vee_ awesome! | 06:25 |
| thor | arnuld is this a network printer or a printer connected to your own computer? | 06:25 |
| allnightarockin | Local Area Connection Or whatever connection is connected to the internet needs to have sharing enabled | 06:25 |

| vee_ | rxndx where i go from hear is a mystery.... | 06:26 |
| Vorondil | Hi all, quick question: where does CUPS get it's login credentials when printing to an SMB printer share? It's not working for me and I suspect it's an authentication issue based on the errors in cups' logs. | 06:26 |
| bulmer | arnuld-> man lppasswd | 06:26 |
| vee_ | rxndx thanx | 06:26 |
| thor | arnuld did you try using your username and password instead of 'root'? | 06:26 |
| rxndx | vee_ you're very welcome ;) | 06:26 |
| thor | bulmer: is there an lppasswd in ubuntu? My ubuntu box is offline right now and I am looking at a suse install | 06:26 |
| vee_ | :) | 06:26 |
| robert__ | what is a good program for converting .avi to dvd on ubuntu? | 06:26 |
| bulmer | thor-> should be same in SuSE | 06:27 |
| arnuld | thor: I tried both root and myself but no luck | 06:27 |
| sleepercivic88 | robert: devede is what I use | 06:27 |
| niuq | i need help installing telnet server, i don't have "inetd" and i though i needed that service for enabling telnet, but not sure, instead i have inetutils-inetd not sure if it is the same thing | 06:27 |
| thor | bulmer: I don't recall doing anything like that...must have been done in the install | 06:27 |
| robert__ | ok, thanks man! | 06:27 |
| thor | bulmer: might be a difference since suse defines 'root' in the install | 06:27 |
| thor | arnuld: try entering a passwd using lppasswd | 06:28 |
| bulmer | thor-> lppasswd is only for CUPS | 06:28 |
| === amidanie1|away is now known as amidaniel|away | ||
| threefcata | allnightarockin: i did it, now my local area connection have ICS enabled, but i doubt i have to add something like gateway or dns on my ubuntu, i don't if that's needed coz i read something like when you have ICS enabled DHCP is also enabled but i don't get DHCP, so i manually configure things except gateway and dns | 06:28 |
| sleepercivic88 | robert: when I use it I have to mess with the interlace options in the gui so it looks good | 06:28 |
| ianmcorvidae | niuq: install the package telnetd; that is a telnet server | 06:28 |
| arnuld | thor: user -> "root" & passwd -> "lppasswd" | 06:28 |
| arnuld | thor: ? | 06:28 |
| firefly2442 | How can I list available computers on the workgroup in samba using the commandline? | 06:28 |
| niuq | ianmcorvidae: already did | 06:29 |
| thor | arnuld: that should work | 06:29 |
| allnightarockin | threefcata yeah if what you just said doesnt work just change it to automatic dchp configuration? | 06:29 |
| thor | arnuld: check 'man lppasswd'...always a good idea before using a new command | 06:29 |
| allnightarockin | threefcata i would think atleast | 06:29 |
| bulmer | firefly2442-> i believe samba commands starts with smb...so type smb and press tab twice to see all smb related commands | 06:30 |
| arnuld | thor: MAN page says, lppasswd ADDS, CHANGES or DELETES the password in CUPS digest file :( | 06:30 |
| bulmer | firefly2442-> if not, windows uses "net use xxx" command style | 06:30 |
| arnuld | thor: DIGEST usernames do not have to match the local UNIX usernames | 06:31 |
| arnuld | thor: what that means ? | 06:31 |
| arnuld | thor: let me try printer 1st | 06:31 |
| firefly2442 | bulmer: the weird thing is I can ping the remote machine but I can't connect to it | 06:31 |
| firefly2442 | I checked the workgroup in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and it checks out | 06:32 |
| thor | arnuld: you can create users for cups that don't exist in linux...only in cups | 06:32 |
| threefcata | allnightarockin: very true. and Network Manager is causing confusion as well, it is said now NM only manages those interfaces marked with auto or not appear in /etc/network/interfaces but i have all my interfaces in that file both marked auto AND manually configured..I the roaming mode of those interfaces are confusing as well.. | 06:32 |
| threefcata | allnightarockin:i 'm running feisty | 06:32 |
| bulmer | firefly2442-> you need to get authenticated on a domain to make a complete connection | 06:32 |
| arnuld | thor: that "lppasswd" thing does not work >:-D | 06:33 |
| slliness | how do I tell if I used the right install disc (e.g. amd64 vs i386) the box has amd64 and I can't remember which disc I used. | 06:33 |
| allnightarockin | threefcata: I really am not sure what u mean.. i would suggest starting a thread if the problem proceeds? | 06:33 |
| thor | arnuld 'lppasswd -a root' and enter the root password when prompted | 06:34 |
| firefly2442 | bulmer: do you know if there is a way to manually specify the IP address of the domain computer? (windows box) | 06:34 |
| threefcata | allnightarockin: yeah, maybe.. we'll see... | 06:34 |
| MetalGear247 | is there a defragmenter for ubuntu 7.1? | 06:35 |
| bulmer | firefly2442-> yeah type the numerics | 06:35 |
| thor | MetalGear247 the linux file system does not require defragmenting | 06:35 |
| MetalGear247 | do u minde explaining why that the case? | 06:35 |
| MetalGear247 | that doesnt make sense | 06:35 |
| firefly2442 | bulmer: sorry, I'm confused, can you be more specific? | 06:36 |
| arnuld | thor: sorry, password rejected, it must be 6 characters long,, WTF, my root passwrd is 5 chars, then so WHAT ? | 06:37 |
| darkentity | does anybody know if theres a GUI program for making iso's out of discs?? | 06:37 |
| bulmer | firefly2442-> im confused too, what command are you referring to? | 06:37 |
| arnuld | darkentity: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso | 06:37 |
| viro | ***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build avant-panel-menu | 06:37 |
| viro | were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden | 06:37 |
| viro | macros were found. Perhaps you need to adjust your | 06:37 |
| viro | ACLOCAL_FLAGS? | 06:37 |
| arnuld | darkentity: simple as that, why need a GUI | 06:37 |
| allnightarockin | MetalGear: linux defrags itself automatically | 06:37 |
| viro | any idea what this is about? | 06:37 |
| thor | arnuld then use a longer password...it doesn't have to be the same one in both places you can use a different password | 06:38 |
| firefly2442 | bulmer: well, if I need to add the domain computer, can I specify it with an IP address? it doesn't seem to be finding it automatically | 06:38 |
| Agent_bob | darkentity just about any gui burning app can make an iso | 06:38 |
| vladtzu | Is there a program to view .chm files? | 06:38 |
| darkentity | i see... arnuld does that work with dvds too? | 06:38 |
| arnuld | Agent_bob: darkentity can even use "mkisofs" | 06:38 |
| arnuld | darkentity: sure | 06:38 |
| Agent_bob | arnuld he did specify GUI tho | 06:39 |
| darkentity | ok thanks guys | 06:39 |
| SanketMedhi | hello | 06:39 |
| darkentity | ima try it out | 06:39 |
| slliness | anyone?\ | 06:39 |
| bulmer | firefly2442-> what is the command you are using? | 06:39 |
| arnuld | Agent_bob: well, I do not see any usefull of GUI specific to this ISO making | 06:39 |
| SanketMedhi | I am facing some problems connecting to the Internet on my wireless adapter Broadcom 4328, help anyone | 06:39 |
| Primax | k3b burn progarm | 06:39 |
| Agent_bob | i agree, i just try to give what they ask for arnuld | 06:40 |
| firefly2442 | I was using smbtree -S and this lists the computers, I have one machine working and another one doesn't work | 06:40 |
| Agent_bob | definitely dd is the way to do that. | 06:40 |
| arnuld | Agent_bob: yes and I prefer to give solid thiings, GUIs are never good at error reporting. in the end you need to read"/var/log/" directory ;-) | 06:40 |
| darkentity | agent bob...what specific program do u know of that makes iso? do u think the regular dvd/cd writer on ubuntu has that option | 06:40 |
| darkentity | the commnad works arnuld thanks | 06:41 |

| arnuld | for his help | 06:42 |
| thor | arnuld: did you get it all to work> | 06:43 |
| arnuld | thor: nope :( | 06:43 |
| thor | arnuld: did you get the lppasswd defined? | 06:43 |
| arnuld | Agent_bob: as I said, for files on HDD he could use mkisofs | 06:43 |
| arnuld | thor: yes, i did set a passwd, but then what to do next ? | 06:44 |
| Agent_bob | arnuld and as i said yep return 0 | 06:44 |
| thor | arnuld now go back to cups (localhost:631) and when it asks for username/password use 'root' and the password you defined with lppasswd | 06:44 |
| vasuvi | Ubuntu has been hanging a lot lately; hanging to the point I have to restart the entire computer. When it's happened, the only applications open (other than normal GNOME stuff) were Firefox and GNOME Terminal. Is there any way to tell whether the hangs were caused by Firefox or by the Ubuntu base system? | 06:45 |
| bulmer | i got disconnected | 06:45 |
| vee_ | when I installed I did not give any room for swap - is that ok or should reinstall? I have 4 gbs of RAM | 06:45 |
| SanketMedhi | Help with wlan problem anyone? | 06:45 |
| thor | vasuvi: your best bet would be to start firefox and terminal each in a terminal, that way any errors should show up in the terminal where you started the app | 06:46 |
| bulmer | vasuvi it happens to me quite often now, because of i/o ..wireless hangs | 06:46 |
| arnuld | thor: it does NOT work >:\ | 06:46 |
| arnuld | Agent_bob: return EXIT_SUCCESS :P | 06:46 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: It depends ... what exactly do you mean by hanging ? No response from any part of the system ? Could you access a TTY by pressing Alt-F1 ? | 06:46 |
| vasuvi | thor: opening it in a terminal wouldn't help much with a hang ;) I can move the mouse, but nothing else is responsive | 06:46 |
| thor | vasuvi, but if you have the terminal open in a corner, you would still be able to read it even if you couldn't click on it or anyhthing | 06:47 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: first thing I tried; no go. though strangely, the Alt-Sysreq-RSEIUB method of rebooting works fine | 06:47 |
| Agent_bob | vasuvi maybe alt+sysRQ+r then alt+sysRQ+e if that responds it's an app if not it's kernel level i/o maybe. | 06:47 |
| thor | vasuvi: it would only be a way to possibly see an error indication for the hangup | 06:47 |
| vasuvi | thor: that's a possibility, at least if stuff really is responding, though at this point I'd doubt it | 06:47 |
| niuq | i need help enabling telnet server | 06:47 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: indeed ... anything in X.logs ? | 06:47 |
| arnuld | niuq: you better use SSH than telnet. | 06:47 |
| dadehoog | niuq: are you sure that you want to enable telnet ? What about SSH instead ? | 06:47 |
| Agent_bob | vasuvi note that will kill everything. so probably ctrl+alt+del for a restart afterwards. | 06:48 |
| bulmer | vasuvi i can emphatize with you, i have been experiencing this i/o hanging lately after an upgrade | 06:48 |
| arnuld | niuq: Telnet send its username-paswd information all over the internet | 06:48 |
| niuq | dadehoog: it's just for a lab | 06:48 |
| thor | Agent_bob that is I think the FIRST reference to the sysreq key that Ihave seen since the 70's <smile> | 06:48 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: that's the odd part; I'd been getting weird stuff from Sidux, and the X logs were indeed screwy. Here, the X logs look just fine | 06:48 |
| niuq | arnuld: i'm not going to send it over internet, just will work on a lan | 06:48 |

| drgeb | hi everyone I finally got Ubuntu Installed. Now when my system boots up I see all the info of booting by changing to terminal interface 7. How come is this info not saved into a log file ? | 06:49 |

| Agent_bob | vee for hybernate only | 06:49 |
| arnuld | niuq: I was juts trying to teach some good UNIX habits :) | 06:49 |
| niuq | Agent_bob: because it's for a lab, and the lab just request to enable telnet | 06:49 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: and started just recently for you too? | 06:49 |
| dadehoog | I'm using the open source ATI drivers (radeon) | 06:49 |
| dadehoog | I only installed Gutsy three days ago ... | 06:50 |
| Agent_bob | niuq ok. | 06:50 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: so that means video drivers probably aren't the culprit here like on Sidux | 06:50 |
| dadehoog | but I've never has similar issues before | 06:50 |
| vasuvi | very odd | 06:50 |

| drgeb | do I need to install bootlog daemon to get boot logs ??? | 06:51 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: so it's probably not an extension thing | 06:51 |
| Agent_bob | niuq i'v never used telnetd but the man page should be forth comming on howto | 06:51 |
| bulmer | niuq-> you can use nc to create a temporary listening server..i forget the options how to do it though | 06:52 |
| dadehoog | niuq: Indeed, you'll probably want to configure xinetd to handle incoming telnet traffic ... | 06:52 |
| vee_ | Agent_bob how much do you need? | 06:52 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: I think we've narrowed it down to being either the vanilla Firefox running into an infinite loop or something, or something in the Ubuntu base system. Hopefully the former as it *should* be easier to find and fix. | 06:52 |
| djangelo | im having troubles with "ccsm" could somebody help me? | 06:53 |

| vasuvi | sorry for repeat | 06:53 |

| vasuvi | dadehoog: so then it's probably in the Ubuntu base system, ugh | 06:53 |
| dadehoog | niuq: netcat | 06:53 |
| bulmer | niuq netcat | 06:53 |
| Agent_bob | vee_ it writes the entire ram to disk if i understand it correctly | 06:53 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: Indeed ... likely the snazzy 3d graphics special effects stuff ... | 06:53 |
| vee_ | Agent_bob i have 4gigs. do i make it 8gigs? | 06:54 |
| Agent_bob | vee_ no. 4.1g | 06:54 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: hmm; that would be easy enough to test by simply disabling Compiz. that's not a bad idea | 06:54 |

| Darius08x | Hello, it's been forever and a half since I've installed ubuntu. And I'm not exactly that great with computers. I'm setting up ubuntu 7.10 desktop version and I'm creating a partition now, I'm using 150 GB of my 300 HD, but I was wondering What type of partiton should it be, primary, or logical, should it be located at the beginning or end. And what should I use it as. Ext3? | 06:55 |
| dadehoog | IBM Thinkpad T42 (Intel-based Centrino system) | 06:55 |
| vee_ | Agent_bob i can just write 4.1gb | 06:55 |
| Agent_bob | vee_ it will be in gparted at the time and if you have ever used that you can anticipate what to expect | 06:56 |
| dadehoog | niuq: SOry ? | 06:56 |
| dadehoog | *Sorry ? | 06:56 |
| darkentity | ubuntu is cool and everything but it needs some major development. im glad they finally fixed the limewire problem i could play the files right off limewire | 06:56 |
| vee_ | Agent_bob thanx | 06:56 |
| Agent_bob | vee_ yes or just use the slider until the size is right | 06:56 |
| darkentity | but the videos are another story they skip when i fast foward | 06:56 |
| niuq | dadehoog: i though i had to configure a file called telnet, just like in red hat | 06:56 |
| Agent_bob | vee_ welcome | 06:56 |
| darkentity | some vidoes dont even show the sliders properly they just stay in one place | 06:56 |
| dadehoog | Darius08x: You'll need two partitions (one swap and one /) Both can be primary partitions | 06:57 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: or for a more complete listing: http://www.pastebin.ca/807111 | 06:57 |
| vee_ | Agent_bob good stuff... i am going to reinstall tomorrow. for a second HD should i have it mount point in /media or /mnt? | 06:57 |
| dadehoog | the swap partition needs to be swap, and the / mounted partition can be ext2 or ext3, I'd recommend ext3 | 06:57 |
| Agent_bob | dadehoog need ? it's reccomended. | 06:57 |
| BernieMac | Darius08x: Yes make the format ext3, or FAT32 if you choose, as far as location of partition, I'm not sure if it matters, someone else will have to answer that... | 06:57 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: so probably not too many similarities... | 06:58 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: that would at least tend to rule out hardware (I think) | 06:58 |
| dadehoog | Agent_bob: Indeed ..? I'm obviously behind the times ! | 06:58 |
| darkentity | but i hoep in due time they fix that problem. its still great program...plus i wish they could include all those porgrams to customize the gdm, splash and mouse cursor themes. | 06:58 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: It's got to be software-related ... and in a common package ... | 06:58 |
| Darius08x | Haha, I think I've only confused myself further by asking that question. | 06:58 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: are you using 3d acceleration ? | 06:58 |
| Darius08x | So I should just make on, 150 GB, have it used as "swap" and then hit ok | 06:59 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: and have you enabled compiz / special effects etc ? | 06:59 |
| niuq | dadehoog: i think it did not make any sense | 06:59 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: yup. (Centrino implies Dothan, right?) | 06:59 |
| Darius08x | then make another one (how big?) and make it / ? | 06:59 |
| BernieMac | Darius08x: the Ubuntu installer should come with a partitioner which knows what to do | 06:59 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: indeed; I have Compiz on | 06:59 |
| Agent_bob | vee_ you can mount any fs just about anywhere, there are limitations such as using non-linux fs's in critical places / for example. wont work but if you are talking about storage media /mnt or /media or /home/your.name/storage or what ever. | 06:59 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: my CPU is pre-Dothan, but still Centrino | 06:59 |
| thor | Darius08x give serious consideration to three partitions...one for /, one for /home, and one for swap | 06:59 |
| dadehoog | Darius08x: sounds like I'm behind the times ... perhaps Agent_bob could point you to the current install docs ? | 07:00 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: ok, so definitely no similarities there (a late Centrino 2 Duo could theoretically be the mobile eqiuivelent of P35-based) | 07:00 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: ok, so disabling Compiz now; we'll see how that works | 07:00 |
| thor | Darius08x with that kind of disk space I would leave 15-20G for /, maybe 2G for swap (2x ram) and the rest for /home | 07:00 |
| vee_ | Agent_bob i want the second HD to be able to be shared by all users | 07:00 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: though if it really is Compiz, I'm surprised everybody else isn't also running into these problems | 07:01 |
| niuq | dadehoog: mmm not sure what's happening, maybe you can help me installing ssh | 07:01 |
| Agent_bob | the old "swap needs to be 2X your ram" should have died long ago when ram went above 16m | 07:01 |
| Agent_bob | vee_ /mnt is a good place for that. | 07:02 |
| Darius08x | I think this comes with a guided install thing, that automatically does this for me. If I use that, and choose to install windows later (to dual boot) Will I be SOL, or will I still be able to do it? | 07:02 |
| Skiz | I leave a gig for shits a giggles thats about it depending on the amount of ram | 07:02 |
| vee_ | Agent_bob thanx again | 07:02 |
| glick | excuse me, i just installed ubuntu gibbon, however i dont seem to have spticya | 07:02 |
| Agent_bob | vee_ so is /media/<something> | 07:02 |
| glick | synaptic | 07:02 |
| glick | when i click on synaptic from system-admin | 07:02 |
| glick | nothin comes up | 07:02 |
| Skiz | but if you are running something like jedit.... lol | 07:02 |
| BernieMac | Darius08x, typically you want to install windows first(or so the story goes), something to do with the GRUB loader I believe. this is the way I did it and no problems... | 07:03 |
| vee_ | Agent_bob currently its in media.... just didnt know if there was an advantage to it or it wAs merely cosmetic | 07:03 |
| Agent_bob | vee_ cosmetic | 07:03 |
| glick | sudo apt-get upgrade doenst seem to work either | 07:03 |
| thor | Darius08x BernieMac is correct...you need to install windows first | 07:03 |
| vee_ | Agent_bob thanx | 07:03 |
| ere4si | glick: in a terminal type - sudo apt-get install synaptic | 07:03 |
| Agent_bob | vee_ welcome | 07:03 |
| Darius08x | Ok, well, I was here last night with all tons of problems. I had windows installed, and it had been giving me random missingsystem32 file errors. | 07:03 |
| Darius08x | So I went to install ubuntu, only to get a dead device error or something like that. | 07:04 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: ah joy ... that was one of those random lockups that we're discussing ! | 07:04 |
| Darius08x | Then i got GRUB 17 and 18 errors | 07:04 |
| glick | nothing happens when i type that | 07:04 |
| thor | Darius08x sounds like there is something else going on not related to either...maybe a hw problem? | 07:04 |
| Darius08x | then the partitioner couldn't locate any discs or what not. | 07:04 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: ouch, that sucks | 07:04 |
| Darius08x | Neither could Windows. | 07:04 |
| AMedic | Hi | 07:04 |
| glick | did the install b0rk? | 07:05 |
| glick | do i need to log out and log back in? | 07:05 |
| dadehoog | all I did was move from one screen to the other ... | 07:05 |
| AMedic | I would like to ask an admin a question | 07:05 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: if you didn't get it before it locked up, I said that I disabled Compiz and will see if the lockups stop | 07:05 |
| Darius08x | A friend of mine suggested I run something call Dban overnight (which I think just ultra-formatted my HDD) and it may detect it again | 07:05 |
| Agent_bob | Darius08x what you are describing sounds like loose connection on either the ide or power cable to the drive | 07:05 |
| Darius08x | Which it is now. | 07:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AMedic: go ahead they are near | 07:05 |
| AMedic | Ok | 07:05 |
| Darius08x | I took apart the case and checked all cables Bob. :/ | 07:05 |
| ere4si | glick: I saw something about this earlier - brb | 07:06 |
| Agent_bob | Darius08x that's still what it sounds like. | 07:06 |
| Darius08x | Hmm. | 07:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darius08x: did you check all jumpers if ide drives. | 07:06 |
| vee_ | bye all::: | 07:06 |
| glick | hmm :( | 07:06 |
| Darius08x | Also, to let you all know, I'm in above me head here. I have no idea what you just said Jack. : D | 07:07 |
| qwerty121 | Howdy! Anyone has some help for this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=632957 | 07:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darius08x: do you have ide or sata drives.. ide big ribbon cable plus power cable | 07:07 |
| Darius08x | Sata | 07:07 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: running any taskbar applets? I have sensors-applet, timer-applet, and Tomboy running | 07:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darius08x: ok, so no jumpers | 07:07 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: (just trying to think if any non-default programs may be causing this) | 07:08 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: system-monitor ... but only so that I can verify when it's locked up, and when it hasn't ! | 07:08 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: it was definitely locking up _before_ that applet was added. | 07:08 |
| ere4si | glick: type - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install synaptic - and see what happens | 07:08 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: ok, so that eliminates that at least :) | 07:08 |
| dadehoog | compiz or network-manager are my two top tips ... | 07:08 |
| Agent_bob | Darius08x on some hard drives there are "jumpers" that allow you to select whether it will be listed as "master" or "slave" as well as some times other settings. he sujested that you check those too, i.e. if an hd is set to master and on the same cable a cd/dvd drove is set to master then you have problems. | 07:09 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: (and I don't have system-monitor running anyway) | 07:09 |
| BernieMac | qwerty121, no idea! might want to try the #Ubuntu-effects chat(or another chat) for that... | 07:09 |
| glick | ere4si: when i type that nothing happens i just get the prompt right back | 07:09 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: so indeed, lower-level GNOME stuff and Compiz seem to be the only things left | 07:09 |
| Darius08x | Ok, and I'd check that out in the BIOS I'm assuming. I'm currently installing windows like you suggested, so I guess I'll wait for that. | 07:09 |
| lirit | can i use mouse gesture to switch desktop? | 07:10 |
| glick | maybe i should restart? | 07:10 |
| qwerty121 | BernieMac: it's driving me nuts. Can't maximize anything | 07:10 |
| Darius08x | Thanks for the help. I'm sure I'll be back asking questions again in no time. | 07:10 |
| glick | brb let me try and restart | 07:10 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: (well, theoretically MySQL or Python, but those seem exceedingly unlikely) | 07:10 |
| Agent_bob | Darius08x no. they are phisical "jumpers" on the device. | 07:10 |
| ere4si | glick: k - still searching for that article | 07:10 |
| BernieMac | qwerty121, I can imagine, that would be rather frustrating | 07:10 |
| kazil | mornin` all | 07:10 |
| Darius08x | Oh. | 07:11 |
| qwerty121 | BernieMac: The room you gave me is for compiz. But it's not bcoz of compiz | 07:11 |
| qwerty121 | BernieMac: i dont use compiz | 07:11 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: I'm also running MySQL ... | 07:11 |
| Agent_bob | Darius08x small dubble contact plugs that slip over two small pins and thereby "jump" the two togather. | 07:11 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: hmm; if it still locks up now that I've disabled Compiz, that sounds like a good next thing to try then | 07:11 |
| Darius08x | Ok, I understand now. | 07:11 |
| Agent_bob | Darius08x the info is almost always printed on the drive it's self | 07:11 |
| BernieMac | qwerty121, I apologize, I thought maybe the guys in there would be able to help out more | 07:12 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: (disabling MySQL that is) | 07:12 |
| Beryllium | does anyone know how to fix apt-get's version of php5-cli so that it supports readline()? | 07:12 |

| qwerty121 | !hi | Ein_ | 07:13 |
| ubotu | Ein_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 07:13 |
| Agent_bob | Darius08x but in my openion, and that's all it is, so take it with a grain of salt; the things you described do sound like it will be an acutal hardware issue. i.e. loose/dirty cable most likely bad drive possably | 07:13 |
| BernieMac | qwerty121, I'm not sure. this is my first time back in Ubuntu in probably 3 months, not that I was an expert before by any means!! | 07:13 |
| Ein_ | my I ask? | 07:13 |
| mikebot | What do I do with a .tar.bz2? | 07:13 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: not seeing anything weird in my syslog either | 07:14 |
| billy | anybody know how i can download maps into warcraft 3 and wine? | 07:14 |
| qwerty121 | BernieMac: Ok, NP. | 07:14 |
| dadehoog | mikebot: it's a compressed archive ... you should be able to unpack it with file-roller ... | 07:14 |
| BernieMac | Darius08x, I would have to agree with Agent_bob, sounds like more of a hardware issue than anything else... | 07:14 |
| mikebot | dadehoog: Does fileroller come pre-installed? | 07:14 |
| Ein_ | how I can run as admin root at terminal? | 07:14 |
| Regarok | hi all, could someone recommend me a good tv program to please? | 07:14 |
| billy | sudo -s | 07:14 |
| ere4si | glick does typing - man apt - get a response? | 07:14 |
| Agent_bob | you just don't have windows and linux both failing on one drive, and probono dismiss the hardware as good. | 07:14 |
| Darius08x | I'm taking it to a local computer shop to have it tested tomorrow. | 07:15 |
| dadehoog | mikebot: Open up a nautilus window and browse to the file's location, then right-click on it ... you should get the option to extract it | 07:15 |
| Darius08x | So I guess they'd be able to tell me for sure. | 07:15 |
| Agent_bob | depends on how good they are. or how greedy | 07:15 |
| MrPockets | how do i mount a USB Flash drive? | 07:15 |
| Dooms | hey can any of you guys watch this video i made? And yes im the girl | 07:15 |

| mikebot | dadehoog: Thanks. | 07:16 |
| billy | tv software? | 07:16 |
| billy | joost? | 07:16 |
| Darius08x | Heh, oh boy. | 07:16 |
| * Agent_bob works on computers so he doesn't trust computer shops | 07:16 | |
| dadehoog | mikebot: no worries | 07:16 |
| neumind | is a tv software for ubuntu? | 07:16 |
| Regarok | yeah | 07:16 |
| qwerty121 | Ein_: type "sudo -i", give your password | 07:16 |
| Darius08x | Hopefully they won't be. I think it's some nice old guy. Hopefully he won't be greedy | 07:16 |
| Regarok | i have tv card | 07:16 |
| Regarok | but i need the software | 07:16 |
| billy | duno about that | 07:16 |
| Agent_bob | Darius08x good luck with it. | 07:17 |

| Darius08x | THank you. | 07:17 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: ditto | 07:17 |
| dadehoog | Mikebot: that's not a straightforward question ... what are you planning to compile ? | 07:18 |
| eek | does anyone know have the annoying message of 'error gnome_screensaver_control( )' pop up when using gmplayer besides me? anyone know howto get rid of it? | 07:18 |
| Regarok | thanks jack_sparrow | 07:18 |
| Pandemic | Hello I have another question... | 07:18 |
| ztomic | anyone know how to disable pointing stick on dell c610? | 07:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np.. hope it works with your card | 07:19 |
| Agent_bob | eek i'm not a gnome user but will turning off the screen saver not work ? | 07:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ztomic: Pointing stick? I have two C610's dont know what that is | 07:19 |
| ztomic | hardware/software solutions welcome. | 07:19 |
| dadehoog | vasuvi: it's obviously NOT being logged anywhere ... so it's not an error that's using the standard error reporting .. | 07:20 |
| ztomic | Jack_Sparrow: the blue button | 07:20 |
| Pandemic | Has anyone ever heard of an IP being unreachable for no apparent reason? | 07:20 |
| ztomic | purple | 07:20 |
| eek | im not using gnome either, hate to turn off my screensaver though ;/ | 07:20 |
| vasuvi | dadehoog: correct; I'm thinking (though not sure by any means) that it's some kind of infinite loop, though it has to be something that can bog down all cores (dual-core system here) | 07:20 |
| Pandemic | i.e., I can't reach linuxmint.com for some reason. | 07:20 |
| Darius08x | mikebot left the room alreay | 07:20 |
| Darius08x | already | 07:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ztomic: Duh.. sorry.. never knew the name of it. | 07:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ztomic: Cant it be turned off in the bios someplces | 07:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | place | 07:21 |
| bullgard4 | How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in dialog that opens by selecting GNOME panel menu 'System' > 'Quit'? | 07:21 |
| Agent_bob | eek ah that might be the cause, it may be looking for the gnome screen saver control "thus the message" ... | 07:21 |
| ztomic | Jack_Sparrow: my mouse goes wild... need a new keyboard i guess | 07:21 |
| ztomic | Jack_Sparrow: nope | 07:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ztomic: easy enough to replace | 07:22 |
| eek | Agent_bob, looks like ubuntu's mplayer has that compiled into it somehow | 07:22 |
| ztomic | Jack_Sparrow: yeah but i never use it so i wish there was a software solution like in windows. | 07:22 |
| CyberMad | how to add some microsoft windows font on ubuntu? | 07:22 |
| dadehoog | what is apport exactly, and how does it relate to firefox ? I've had that max out my memory and CPU once ... | 07:22 |
| Agent_bob | Pandemic i can pint linuxmint.com | 07:23 |
| jariep1_ | can somebody help with dpkg deb file install howt0 | 07:23 |
| Agent_bob | ping | 07:23 |
| mas | hello | 07:23 |
| ztomic | Jack_Sparrow: you don't have problems with your's? | 07:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ztomic: Since Dell and MS sleep together I would not hold out hope for a fix going back to that hardware. | 07:23 |
| mas | yes | 07:23 |
| kazil | whys ftp so slow on ubuntu? | 07:23 |
| jariep1_ | i have a deb file to install | 07:23 |
| ztomic | Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu is on dell now... where have you been? | 07:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ztomic: Never had any issues that I noticed. | 07:23 |
| Agent_bob | Pandemic i didn't try to navigate there tho. can you ping it ? | 07:23 |
| dadehoog | Jack_Sparrow: would it not be possible to disable one or more buttons in the xorg config ? | 07:23 |
| jariep1_ | howt0? | 07:24 |
| mas | card of tv not install | 07:24 |
| jariep1_ | deb file insall howt0?? | 07:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ztomic: I am aware... that they have Ubuntu now.. then they didnt.. and MS will still have an inside track on a lot of that hardware | 07:24 |
| dadehoog | jariep1_: Why do you have a .deb to install ? Isn't it available in one of the Ubuntu repositories ? | 07:24 |
| ere4si | jariep1: in your menu should be gdebi package installer | 07:24 |
| Agent_bob | jariep1_ sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb if you must | 07:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dadehoog: that would also kill the real mouse.. I dont see that ubuntu differentiates the two | 07:25 |
| mas | thk u | 07:25 |
| ztomic | Jack_Sparrow: MS is everywhere | 07:25 |
| jariep1_ | dadehoog it java sun microsytem | 07:25 |
| BernieMac | Jack_Sparrow, I would have to agree, dell and MS have a much more intimate relationship | 07:25 |

| ztomic | the smallest twist on this laptop causes the mouse to go wild. disabling the pointing stick in windows solves the problem but I havent found a way to do that in linux. | 07:29 |
| bullgard4 | How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the dialog that opens by selecting in the GNOME panel menu 'System' > 'Quit'? | 07:29 |
| Agent_bob | kazil looked at gentoo ? | 07:30 |
| kazil | no | 07:30 |
| billy | anybody have warcraft 3 installed? | 07:30 |
| Pandemic | Agent_bob: Yeah, I received no packets back. | 07:30 |
| kazil | i tried gFTP but its very slow | 07:30 |
| Agent_bob | gentoo does ftp | 07:30 |
| WinterWeaver | kazil: yup... filezilla looks nice... but I must admit, i've gotten very used to gftp, and it's actually a great little app, you can edit your files directly on the ftp and such, which I never managed to do with filezilla | 07:30 |
| Pandemic | 79 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 78018ms | 07:30 |
| Agent_bob | Pandemic no glaring error messages huh ? | 07:30 |
| Pandemic | Nope. | 07:31 |
| dadehoog | Pandemic: It resolved the name to an IP though ? | 07:31 |
| ztomic | billy: wine? | 07:31 |
| Pandemic | dadehoog: Well yes, although I didn't receive any packets back. | 07:31 |
| billy | yeah on wine | 07:31 |
| Agent_bob | dadehoog take over that one with Pandemic i'm pretty green on network issues. | 07:31 |
| kazil | WinterWeaver: my problem with gFTP is that its very slow... and its not for the connection. i used WinSCP under XP and its like 4 times faster | 07:31 |
| dadehoog | Pandemic: are there any other sites where you have a similar issue ? | 07:32 |
| onats | mneptok, just like to ask, what's the advantage of bittornado over other clients? | 07:32 |
| BernieMac | I can't use CTRL+ALT+left/right arrow to switch between workspaces(shortcuts are set to this) but I can click to other spaces or mouse wheel to them. Anyone know why this is? | 07:32 |
| dadehoog | BernieMac: Have a check of your System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts | 07:32 |
| ztomic | billy: I think i saw it in the appdb. have you tried running it in desktop or have you looked in #wine? | 07:32 |
| dadehoog | BernieMac: They may have been re-assigned ..? | 07:32 |
| Pandemic | Yes dadehoog, I know offhand that the same happens with ultimate-guitar.com | 07:33 |
| BernieMac | dadehoog, checked them, set to ctl+alt+left/right | 07:33 |
| Pandemic | dadehoog: But that's the only other one I know of. | 07:33 |
| Agent_bob | BernieMac and even if they look right maybe reset them manually the keyboard may be sending something unexpected | 07:33 |
| dadehoog | Pandemic: what are you using to configure your network ? network-manager ? | 07:33 |
| WinterWeaver | kazil, have you checked the protocol that ur using? not sure but it could be the reason. I've not had slow gftp speeds,... yet lol... neway, if ur happy with filezilla that's cool ^_^ | 07:34 |
| billy | ztomic: i can run it and all, but i just cant seem to download a map and get it to work | 07:34 |

| dinochopins | hi everyone | 07:37 |
| dinochopins | I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) | 07:37 |
| ztomic | Iggz: what's the problem? | 07:37 |
| Slart | or.. perhaps that should be.. "just ask, iggz" =) | 07:37 |
| Iggz | Everything is fine - even with the new build but I am buggered if I can get out on the net | 07:37 |
| Agent_bob | Iggz drop the cd in the tray and reboot :) it's just about that simple... | 07:37 |
| dinochopins | here I've got 2 DHCP server with 2 NIC | 07:37 |
| dinochopins | everything is fine... I've got 2 ip address | 07:37 |
| Iggz | LOL | 07:37 |
| Iggz | I tried - but alas no :P | 07:38 |
| Agent_bob | Iggz oh network issue. wireless ? | 07:38 |
| ztomic | Iggz: wireless? | 07:38 |
| WinterWeaver | I cannot install VMware Player. I just get a message saying: "VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)" | 07:38 |
| Iggz | Nop, cable modem - using an ethernet card - not usb | 07:38 |
| dinochopins | but the weird thing is, I only got 1 DNS server in my /etc/resolv.con. How can I have my /etc/resolv.conf fixed values ? | 07:38 |
| Iggz | ran terminal commands ala help - but nothing | 07:38 |
| Agent_bob | Iggz ifconfig -a is your card recognized ? | 07:39 |
| Pandemic_ | Oops, I dunno what I did there. | 07:40 |
| yakov__ | hello | 07:40 |
| Pandemic_ | dadehoog: What was that routing command? | 07:40 |
| BernieMac | Agent_bob, just curious, does running ifconfig -a give any different info than just ifconfig? | 07:40 |
| Iggz | yes - at lest I think so - it gives it what appears to be the normal linux name - ie etho1 but then tells me its not ready - or something simplier - anyway, it is unable to get my ip addrees | 07:40 |
| casio1374633 | ?? | 07:40 |
| casio1374633 | am i in ? | 07:40 |
| Agent_bob | BernieMac yes it will show cards that are not active but recognized. | 07:40 |
| Iggz | Wow this is a busy channle | 07:40 |
| BernieMac | Agent_bob, ahh I see, thanks! | 07:41 |
| Iggz | IC - any idea as to how I can activate it? | 07:41 |
| Agent_bob | Iggz ok. what does sudo ifup eth0 assuming eth0 tell us ? | 07:42 |
| yakov__ | does anyone know why there's no network in my dchroot? what can cause it? | 07:42 |
| Iggz | I have run Linux before - disc distros and have had no issue - same comp and card | 07:42 |
| Pandemic_ | dadehoog are you still there? | 07:42 |
| * Agent_bob doesn't think that's what ifup said.... | 07:43 | |
| Pandemic_ | Well I have to sleep...I'll try to figure this out later. | 07:43 |

| marsmissions | Blistok: alt+f2 and type nautilus | 07:43 |
| marsmissions | Blistok: should fix it | 07:44 |
| ztomic | yakov__: resolve.conf | 07:44 |
| Iggz | Sorry Agent bob, i will need to reboot into ubunt to check - I believe it is a message similar to card is not ready (something like that) this maybe due to an other process using it | 07:44 |
| Blistok | marsmissions: just tried that, a window with my home folder popped up, but the desktop is still gone :/ | 07:44 |
| marsmissions | Blistok: restart? | 07:44 |

| Blistok | marsmissions: how do I do that? | 07:46 |
| Agent_bob | sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus ? | 07:46 |

| bodhi_zazen | Ziddharth, yes | 07:53 |
| shadowblade | Triskaidekaphobi: ok, I think I did it right | 07:53 |
| ztomic | Ziddharth: I would assume that it depends on your hardware | 07:53 |
| Ziddharth | bodhi_zazen .. that yes was for locking question ?? | 07:53 |
| bodhi_zazen | but if someone has physical access that plan is easily circumvented | 07:54 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | shadowblade: ok, what's the url? | 07:54 |
| Ziddharth | i am buying a new laptop | 07:54 |
| bodhi_zazen | what do you mean by locking ? | 07:54 |

| Ziddharth | nd i was thinking to lock it with my mobile with memory card that is detected as pendrive on pc | 07:55 |
| Ziddharth | via usb | 07:55 |
| ztomic | Ziddharth: are there no other security methods? | 07:55 |
| bodhi_zazen | Ziddharth, +1 on what Agent_bob said | 07:56 |
| Ziddharth | there are but i need the 1 which leaves noone else able to start my pc without me | 07:56 |
| bodhi_zazen | I don't know how you can lock a box if someone has physical access | 07:56 |
| Ziddharth | without any password | 07:56 |
| bodhi_zazen | No, that is not possible | 07:56 |
| bodhi_zazen | you have to limit physical access or game over | 07:57 |
| Ziddharth | hmmm | 07:57 |
| ere4si | the screensaver can do that/ | 07:57 |
| Ziddharth | but wouldnt it wrk if i install GRUB on seperate pendrive | 07:57 |
| ere4si | *? | 07:57 |
| BernieMac | bodhi_zazen, how would you go about this? I am just intrigued by the topic now | 07:57 |
| Ziddharth | during install | 07:57 |
| Ziddharth | ? | 07:57 |
| ztomic | Ziddharth: then you hjave to encrypt EVERYTHING and even that is no SURE thing. | 07:57 |
| Agent_bob | even bios' that are password protected (i.e. wont boot without a password) are not secure. a simple bios reset and the password is gone. | 07:58 |
| bodhi_zazen | BernieMac, live CD ? | 07:58 |
| Slart | who are you trying to lock out here, Ziddharth? The evil empire or your parents/wife/brother-in-law ? | 07:58 |
| Slart | match the effort to the opponent | 07:58 |
| BernieMac | bodhi_zazen, ahh, yes I suppose that would work. leave it to me to not think of the most obvious solution | 07:58 |
| Ziddharth | i am living with some punks wher i work | 07:58 |
| Ziddharth | so i dont want them to load there shit in my trunk | 07:59 |

| Triskaidekaphobi | shadowblade: ok, here's a great howto for your setup: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902 | 07:59 |
| Ziddharth | basically if i use account and password i will have to create their accounts too | 07:59 |
| ztomic | Ziddharth: there are numbers of ways to protect data | 07:59 |
| Slart | Ziddharth: then I guess a bios password combined with an ok computer box should do it.. | 07:59 |
| Narissa | anyone? | 07:59 |
| ztomic | Narissa: I missed your question | 08:00 |
| shadowblade | Triskaidekaphobi: okay, I'll give that a try | 08:00 |
| Agent_bob | Narissa !i | 08:00 |
| Ziddharth | no actually if there is a password they will definately ask me .. what i want is that if they start it it shows no OS installed and i will just say its broke | 08:00 |
| Ziddharth | ;) | 08:00 |
| Narissa | ztomic: seeing if any fix for the hwcursor issue with nVidia had been fixed, or a workaround | 08:00 |
| bodhi_zazen | Ziddharth, remove the hard drive | 08:01 |
| Narissa | Agent_Bob 8) | 08:01 |
| Slart | Ziddharth: sure, they can open the computer box and reset the password.. but hey.. they can tie you up and beat the snot out of you and you'd probably tell them the password anyways =) | 08:01 |
| Ziddharth | from laptop ?? i m afraid i will lose my warranty | 08:01 |
| Ziddharth | :) | 08:01 |
| ztomic | Narissa: oh! yeah i saw that. no clue here. | 08:01 |
| bodhi_zazen | LOL | 08:01 |
| Narissa | got the new drivers installed, but had to resort to SWCursor, except using flgrx apps or gaming gives me a cursor with a buggy box | 08:01 |
| Ziddharth | and beating part is not true though bt may get close :D | 08:01 |
| Agent_bob | Ziddharth remove all drives but a cdrom and use live CD | 08:01 |
| Agent_bob | carry a pin drive for storage. | 08:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | Over write the MBR with 000 or random stuff | 08:02 |
| Slart | Ziddharth: then just set the boot drive to some other drive.. and when you want to use it.. just set it to the right drive.. that will give you a ." NO BOOT DISK IN DRIVE" error message | 08:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | boot from a live cd or floppy then | 08:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | no cd = no bot | 08:02 |
| Ziddharth | frnds it wont work they are not computer geeks but they can use windows so they know how to insert a cd atleast :D | 08:02 |
| ztomic | Ziddharth: remove the power supply | 08:03 |
| Ziddharth | guys slow down | 08:03 |
| Ziddharth | ok leave it | 08:03 |
| ztomic | Ziddharth: put a switch on the purple wire | 08:03 |

| Slart | hadiaziam: is +i a permission? | 08:18 |
| ZID | i like ubuntu better | 08:18 |
| ZID | but thers just 1 thing i hate about it | 08:18 |
| ZID | its that creepy color during splash | 08:18 |
| ZID | how can i change it | 08:19 |
| Slart | just 1? I've think I've got some more =) | 08:19 |
| ZID | i tried to edit gconf too | 08:19 |
| ZID | bt nothing | 08:19 |
| ZID | well slart u probably use more than me | 08:19 |
| ZID | :D | 08:19 |
| rxndx | hello all! | 08:19 |
| Slart | ZID: I'm starting to think that the wonderful light brown-ish is hardcoded somewhere.. I've seen other people ask about it.. but no good answers | 08:19 |
| Slart | hello rxndx | 08:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | ZID | 08:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | disable the boot splash :) | 08:20 |
| ZID | its login splash | 08:20 |
| Slart | you still get your daily dose of ubuntu-brown =) | 08:20 |
| ZID | not boot splash | 08:20 |
| Agent_bob | mutable if you can't get focus back with alt+tab i'm not a developer nor part of the ubuntu team, so i can't help you. good that you filed a bug on it. | 08:20 |
| rxndx | I'm having trouble logging into my yahoo messenger account on Pidgin... something about error 29... and when I follow the link it provides, it takes me to a captcha image | 08:20 |
| rxndx | any suggestions? | 08:21 |
| gordonjcp | rxndx: give it the right password? | 08:21 |
| rxndx | it's still doing this even after I upgraded to Pidgin 2.3 | 08:21 |
| rxndx | gordonjcp yes | 08:21 |
| bodhi_zazen | New GDM theme then | 08:21 |
| gordonjcp | rxndx: have you googled the error message? | 08:22 |
| levander | I just cleared my CMOS and need to reset the clock in Ubuntu. Is the command ntpdate? I don't remember. | 08:22 |
| rxndx | I think it has something to do with the captcha image, but there is nowhere to enter one in pidgin | 08:22 |
| Slart | bodhi_zazen: still doesn't change that first image you get when starting gnome | 08:22 |
| ZID | tried everything .. it changed the bgcolor for GDM but everytime i log in that color always shows up midway :)) | 08:22 |
| rxndx | gordonjcp yes | 08:22 |
| mutable | Agent_bob: yes, I cannot, I also find a similar thread on java.net and bug on sun, so i will append it to the bug, thx | 08:22 |
| kraut | moin | 08:22 |
| bodhi_zazen | oic now | 08:22 |
| Agent_bob | mutable sorry i couldn't do more there. | 08:22 |
| bodhi_zazen | install ubunt from bootstrap, install fluxbox, startx | 08:23 |
| ali1234 | when i put a new network card in to ubuntu, it appears as eth1 (obviously to avoid conflicts) so how to I tell ubuntu that the old card is broken, and isn't coming back, and to use the new card as eth0? | 08:23 |
| mutable | Agent_bob: ok :) thx attention | 08:23 |
| Slart | rxndx: don't use yahoo messenger so I've never seen that error.. have you checked the pidgin site? perhaps they have forums? irc-channel? | 08:23 |
| ZID | i m afraid i will live with it rather than installing ubuntu | 08:23 |
| ZID | :D | 08:23 |
| Darius08x | whooo, I'm back and finally have windows installed. | 08:23 |
| ZID | again | 08:24 |
| hadiaziam | rgt33467: got it..thanks | 08:24 |
| rxndx | Slart good idea... I'll search IRC | 08:24 |
| Slart | ali1234: check the file /etc/network/interfaces .. might be something there | 08:24 |
| rxndx | Slart it's crazy because this just started happening... never before | 08:24 |
| rxndx | has to be on Yahoo's end | 08:24 |
| Slart | rxndx: well.. the im-people change stuff all the time.. they want you to use their ad-supported client of course =) | 08:25 |
| rav1 | which package should i install to get manual entry for exec?? | 08:25 |
| rxndx | Slart: heh heh :) | 08:25 |
| Darius08x | Now I'm installing ubuntu 7.10 desktop edition and sorta need some help on what exactly I'm suppose to do. I'm in the partition table and have device /dev/sda and /dev/sda type ntfs mount point /media/sda1 and 8MB freespace (which I think is eothing for windows) What I want to do is split my 300gb evenlyish to ubuntu and windows. So how does I do that? | 08:25 |
| rxndx | Slart: be back in a few | 08:25 |
| rxndx | Slart: Thanks! | 08:25 |
| Slart | rav1: "manual entry for exec"? | 08:25 |
| ZID | just shrink some window partition | 08:26 |
| rav1 | Slart: yup | 08:26 |
| rgt33467 | rav1: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev | 08:26 |
| rav1 | thanks man | 08:26 |
| ZID | darius shrink it | 08:26 |
| ZID | ;) | 08:26 |
| Slart | aahhh.. I thought you wanted to enter something manually for exec.. doh.. | 08:27 |
| Slart | like on the keyboard or something..=) | 08:27 |
| Darius08x | zid... I'm very cautious about what I'm doing. I don't want to mess stuff up. And also, I don't really know exactly what I'm doing at all. D: | 08:27 |
| === GeDaST is now known as amaroso | ||
| ali1234 | Slart: no, that's no use at all. | 08:27 |
| Darius08x | Do I want to edit an existing partition, make a new one, etc? I have no idea. :p | 08:27 |
| Slart | ali1234: yes.. that's what I thought too =) | 08:28 |
| chief | hi, I just installed ubuntu amd64, every time I log into kdm it plays the intro sound and kicks me out back into the login screen any ideas? | 08:28 |
| ali1234 | has gutsy introduced some new default firewall settings that blocks ftp or something? or maybe when you get the auto eth1 it puts up a default firewall? | 08:28 |
| Slart | Darius08x: you'll probably want to shrink your windows partition so you get some free space.. then create a new partition in that free space for ubuntu | 08:28 |
| Agent_bob | i've been complaining about the "reversed sign" in tzconfig (dapper LTS) for over a year. no fix in sight. and it's so simple. just reversing the GMT(plus/minus)# i'm tempted to do it my self although i don't know C | 08:28 |
| ZID | Darius: select some existing window partition that is in NTFS or FST | 08:29 |
| wasme | hi | 08:29 |
| ZID | and just shrink its size | 08:29 |
| Slart | ali1234: ubuntu has a firewall installed by default.. but it's disabled, kind of.. so it shouldn't be interfering | 08:29 |
| Iggz | Well what do you know it works | 08:29 |
| ali1234 | well something is interfering | 08:29 |
| ZID | or u can use partition magic from inside the windows that is currently installed | 08:29 |
| bullgard4 | How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the dialog that opens by selecting in the GNOME panel menu 'System' > 'Quit'? | 08:29 |
| kazil | anyone knows where to set in phpmyadmin the user, password, onlydb, host parameters? can`t find it anywhere | 08:29 |
| Darius08x | Yeah, I don't think it's letting me do that. If I go to edit partiton all it does is leet me change the type of it | 08:30 |
| Darius08x | wait | 08:30 |
| Darius08x | didn't word that well | 08:30 |
| Agent_bob | the firewall capability of linux is in the kernel | 08:30 |
| ali1234 | kazil: /etc/phpmyadmin/ if you installed the packages | 08:30 |
| ZID | r u havng windows installed ?? | 08:30 |
| Darius08x | lets me change the type like ext3, ntfs, etc, and also, change the mountpoint I see no way to resize it | 08:30 |
| Darius08x | no I already installed it | 08:30 |
| levander | Is sharing interrupts between PCI devices any kind of performance degradation at all? | 08:30 |
| Darius08x | I"m in the partition table in the intall for ubuntu | 08:30 |
| ZID | did ubuntu suggested something to u .. ?? some default scheme for partition | 08:31 |
| ZID | ? | 08:31 |
| Iggz | I hate to ask really daft questions in this channel but is there an absolute begiiners to linux channel where i can ask really daft questions? :-) | 08:31 |
| Slart | ali1234: you're running a ftp-client? or a server? | 08:31 |
| Slart | ali1234: if you want to check the firewall you can run this "sudo iptables -L" it will either print mostly nothing or 10+ lines of rules and stuff. | 08:31 |
| Darius08x | I'm in "manual" install instead of guided - use entire disk. Because I don't really want to use the entire disk since windows is on there. | 08:31 |
| wasme | anyone have ANY idea what's going on here: I have an nvidia video card, and I was running fiesty with no problems, although I did have to install the drivers from nvidia's site rather than from ubuntu. I just upgraded to gutsy, and had a hell of a time trying to get it to work, but eventually I figured out this much: I have nvidia-glx-new installed, and when I first boot up ubuntu can't find my video card and kicks me into low graphics | 08:31 |
| wasme | mode. But if I switch to a text vt and issue the following 3 commands gdm will boot up properly: sudo rmmod nvidia, sudo kill -9 <pid of X>, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 08:31 |
| mutable | Does anybody know how to completely disable SCIM ? | 08:31 |
| ali1234 | the ftp server is running on an embedded video player | 08:31 |
| Slart | Iggz: we do daft questions here too =) | 08:31 |
| mutable | I see some conf panel, but there some options... | 08:31 |
| kazil | ali1234: yeah i find that but its not the 'usual' config.inc.php (under usual i mean the kind like under windows) | 08:31 |
| Trogdor3634 | Question - can any variant of Ubuntu be distributed via liveCD (smaller the better) with NTFS-write support? | 08:32 |
| ali1234 | as i said before, my edgy box can connect but my gutsy box cannot using the same programs. and all three machines are connected to the same switch | 08:32 |
| ZID | hmm | 08:32 |
| ZID | so how much free space is available o you now | 08:32 |
| ZID | ? | 08:32 |
| ZID | in current table | 08:32 |
| ZID | ? | 08:32 |
| wols_ | wasme: nvidia.com drivers hosed your system after the kernel upgrade | 08:32 |
| Slart | ali1234: ah.. yes.. read that... it's weird.. but check the firewall.. that's a pretty easy thing to do.. | 08:32 |
| Darius08x | it says "free space" 8mb | 08:32 |
| Agent_bob | Trogdor3634 is that an GNU-GPL question ? read the GNU-GPL short answer yes. | 08:33 |
| Slart | Trogdor3634: I would say yes | 08:33 |
| Darius08x | but on the partiton I installed windows, thats ALL I have installed so there is like 300ish gb not being used | 08:33 |
| Iggz | LOL, fair enough - ok, well now that I have this thing running a few really daft questions starting with... | 08:33 |
| ZID | r u having ne partition other than ntfs or fat | 08:33 |
| ZID | ? | 08:33 |
| wasme | wols: so, uh, why would it work after removing the module and restarting X? Doesn't X just reload the same module anyway? | 08:33 |
| rgt33467 | !u | ZID | 08:33 |
| ubotu | ZID: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 08:33 |
| Iggz | is there a website that lists the essential linux prigrams? You know firewalls. VS, etc? | 08:33 |
| ali1234 | Slart: iptables -L shows that both machines have completely blank chains | 08:33 |
| Trogdor3634 | My MMORPG, Eve Online, just pulled one of the biggest QA/testing mistakes I've ever seen. The default upgrade path deletes the windows file boot.ini on reboot, bricking the computer unless you have a recovery CD. I'd like to offer the tools to fix this, but I need a small distribution which has NTFS-write capability to make a new boot.ini - and may get a few linux converts while I'm at it. | 08:34 |
| Iggz | *programs | 08:34 |
| Slart | ali1234: ok.. that's one possible reason out of the way... only one nic in the machine? | 08:34 |
| MukiEX | Is it possible to use dd to replace the first 20k in File 'A' with File 'B', which happens to be 20k in size? | 08:34 |
| Darius08x | crap, Need to go afk for a while guys. Hold on. | 08:34 |
| Trogdor3634 | I don't care about the GPL, nor does anyone working on a termpaper who's now unable to reboot their computer | 08:34 |
| Darius08x | Well, don't hold on, dunno when I'll be bacvkc | 08:34 |
| Slart | Iggz: check out synaptic.. it's in system, administration, synaptic sometihng | 08:34 |
| ali1234 | yes, but, it is not the original install nic, so it appears as eth1 - in the none working gutsy box | 08:34 |
| Darius08x | back* | 08:34 |
| Agent_bob | Iggz firewall and essential programs in the same sentance ? ... | 08:34 |
| Slart | Iggz: or you could look at the Applications menu.. Add/Remove | 08:34 |
| Iggz | Thanks slart | 08:35 |
| Agent_bob | Iggz what is the desired end ? | 08:35 |
| Trogdor3634 | Does any existing Ubuntu-based live-CD capable distro have NTFS-write capability? | 08:35 |
| MukiEX | Trogdor : The latest Gutsy LiveCD will do it. I wonder if Puppy will as well? | 08:35 |
| Slart | Trogdor3634: check out that new distro.. jos I think it's called.. just enough OS.. it's ubuntu but just the bare essentials | 08:36 |
| Iggz | Lol, well come on agent, i was the one kicking the ubuntu distro around because I couldnt get on the net yet i was the daft sod using a psud mac address :P | 08:36 |
| Trogdor3634 | MukeEx: It will write as well? I thought it was just read on the default distro | 08:36 |
| MukiEX | Actually, Trogdor, every time I've done that it's been habit to apt-get ntfs-config , so I'm not sure if it's there by default. | 08:36 |
| kazil | sweet.. i did it :) | 08:36 |
| Trogdor3634 | Looking to be able to post the tools tonight and have a fix self-contained, since people will be booting up tomorrow. | 08:37 |
| Iggz | Agent BOb, good question - realistically I want to replace everything eventually form Xp to linux - but to be honest.... | 08:37 |
| onats | does anyone know the maximum resolution for the intel 845G video card? i'm trying to install ubuntu on my old netvista pc, which is connected to a new samsung 931BW... no display shows after booting it. | 08:37 |
| Slart | ali1234: hmm.. could you pastebin the output from "ifconfig" and "route"? | 08:37 |
| Trogdor3634 | Slart: Does it come with NTFS-write capability? | 08:37 |
| Iggz | ...my main computor use is internet for research - well covered by FF, IRC, covered, it would seem by this program, and I am a big user of media - ie films and audio | 08:38 |
| wasme | wols_: so, uh, why would it work after removing the module and restarting X? Doesn't X just reload the same module anyway? | 08:38 |
| Slart | Trogdor3634: I don't know.. I just know that it's a small version of ubuntu.. | 08:38 |
| Slart | !jos | 08:38 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jos - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:38 |
| Darbus | Morning :) | 08:38 |
| peacepipejv | help, no sound in toshiba. tried some threads in the forums, updated alsa driver and stuff and im worse off | 08:38 |
| Trogdor3634 | thx | 08:38 |
| MukiEX | Trogdoor : Sounds silly, but if you don't immediately find a fix, try just downloading gutsy, running the livecd with a usb drive, and aptitude download ntfs-config, and put it on the USB key if it needs to be downloaded. | 08:38 |
| Slart | again ubotu..I find your lack of answers.. .disturbing =) | 08:38 |
| Darbus | Anyone of you really good with computers...? | 08:38 |
| wols_ | wasme: what driver is your xorg.conf using? | 08:39 |
| Darbus | and Mandriva Linux...or similar ? | 08:39 |
| gordonjcp | !coffee | 08:39 |
| ubotu | coffee is a caffeinated beverage made by filtering water through ground up roasted beans of the coffee plant. Flavouring to taste such as milk or cream, sugar or sweetener are often added afterwards. Not to be confused with !java | 08:39 |
| wasme | nvidia | 08:39 |
| ali1234 | Slart: ok | 08:39 |
| wasme | er | 08:39 |
| onats | peacepipejv, what's your laptop model? are you in dual boot? | 08:39 |
| wasme | wols_: nvidia | 08:39 |
| levander | Slart: there's a web interface to ubuto that you can go in and fill in answers for | 08:39 |
| MukiEX | I'm pretty sure Gutsy has inate NTFS write support, but if it doesn't, that solution will work. | 08:39 |
| Slart | Darbus: really good could mean so many things.. try us | 08:39 |
| wols_ | wasme: installing the PROPER ubuntu nvidia resttricted drivers should fix it again | 08:39 |
| Trogdor3634 | !caffeine | 08:39 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about caffeine - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:39 |
| Iggz | So, best firewall, AV, mdia player - movie and sound - at the momement | 08:39 |
| wasme | wols_: I did that already | 08:39 |
| gordonjcp | yay, the coffee factoid was entered by someone who can spell | 08:39 |
| MukiEX | So will putting the LiveCD on a 1GB Flash drive and the ntfs-config package on the writable partition ;) | 08:39 |
| Trogdor3634 | !NTFS | 08:39 |
| ubotu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 08:39 |
| Slart | levander: huh? | 08:39 |
| wasme | wols_: I removed everything I could find nvidia related and reinstalled nvidia-glx-new over again. | 08:39 |
| wols_ | wasme: then show us the xorg log from when it doesn't work properly on bootup | 08:40 |
| Trogdor3634 | !NTFS-3G | 08:40 |
| ubotu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 08:40 |
| Darbus | Ok here goes... I do at this point have one Dell Latitude C160 laptop. With no OS working. | 08:40 |
| tockitj | http://blog.omega-research.org/uploads/2007/09/ubuntu-linux-very-round-circle-of-friends.jpg <-- just found it on web :-) | 08:40 |
| onats | peacepipejv, what's your machine? | 08:40 |
| tockitj | lol | 08:40 |
| Trogdor3634 | !FUSE | 08:40 |
| ubotu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 08:40 |
| bullgard4 | How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the dialog that opens by selecting in the GNOME panel menu 'System' > 'Quit'? | 08:40 |
| wols_ | wasme: not nvidia-glx. ALL of the drivers. glx AND kernel module | 08:40 |
| peacepipejv | onats: toshiba sat a105. xp, ubuntu, ubuntustudio | 08:40 |
| Darbus | History behind this is : 1. I went from Win Xp to Mandriva Linux, and 2. I deleted the Xp partition...and 3. I then deleted all the remaining partitions... | 08:40 |
| Slart | Iggz: best firewall=only firewall.. iptables.. there are some gui's to configure it | 08:40 |
| wols_ | Darbus: this is a ubuntu ONLY channel. ask #mandriva about mandriva problems. not us | 08:41 |
| ali1234 | Slart: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2501/ | 08:41 |
| === _nuu is now known as nuu | ||
| wols_ | !best | iggz | 08:41 |
| ubotu | iggz: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. | 08:41 |
| onats | peacepipejv, i had quite a similar problem before with my toshiba u205.. i noticed that if i muted it in windows, then booted to ubuntu w/o unmuting it there, it stays muted. you might want to try that | 08:41 |
| wasme | wols_: uh, the only drivers installed are nvidia-glx-new and restricted, which automaticly got removed when I removed nvidia-glx-new | 08:41 |
| Darbus | Its not a Mandriva problem in particular...its a computer problem at first ^^ | 08:41 |
| wols_ | wasme: dpkg -l |grep nvidia | 08:41 |
| Darbus | since Mandrive in itself is no longer present :D | 08:41 |
| MukiEX | Trogdor3634! : The LiveCD/USB method might be yoru best bet, assuming you have a spare key lying about | 08:41 |
| wols_ | Darbus: ew don't care. this is ubuntu ONLY: everything else is OFFtopic. please respect that | 08:41 |
| Slart | Iggz: media players are already installed.. I use vlc myself.. it does just about everything.. to play mp3's and such I use amarok... there are many others with different features/goals | 08:41 |
| shadowblade | Hey, I was trying to follow this howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902 and I got an error at step 13 | 08:42 |
| bAgent_bo | Iggz now. as to the firewall. iptables is the linux firewall and there are several apps for controlling it. firestarter comes to mind. media players are plentiful i like vlc | 08:42 |
| wols_ | Darbus: there is ##linux, there is #hardware, etc. ask them, not us | 08:42 |
| rxndx | so I think I found a script to use, and I downloaded it but I don't know what to do with it now... it's got a .c file extension | 08:42 |
| Iggz | Ubo, indeed - perhaps I should have said recommended - in windows I know which get the best test results here I is a little less sure :-) | 08:42 |
| Slart | ali1234: what is the ip of that ftp-server? | 08:42 |
| === macd_ is now known as macd | ||
| wols_ | rxndx: that's source code. not a script | 08:42 |
| rxndx | ycaptcha.c | 08:42 |
| ali1234 | Slart: 192.168.22.23 | 08:42 |
| wasme | wols_: just nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-kernel-common | 08:42 |
| rxndx | wols_ ah | 08:42 |
| bAgent_bo | Iggz here you just try them all and use what you like. | 08:42 |
| wols_ | wasme: I told you what you need. if you want to ignore it: your choice. good day | 08:42 |
| Slart | ali1234: or if you want to keep it secret.. is it in the 192.168.XX range? | 08:42 |
| bAgent_bo | price is the same :) | 08:43 |
| Darbus | lol | 08:43 |
| wols_ | Slart: he just said so | 08:43 |
| Iggz | Thanks Slart - didn't know VLC was linux supported - excellent, do you know if the web based DIVX player is also support on this platform? | 08:43 |
| rxndx | wols_ how would I compile it into a usable form? | 08:43 |
| Slart | ali1234: ok, thanks.. everything looks good so far.. no obvious errors that I can see | 08:43 |
| Trogdor3634 | MUKEX: I'm treating it as a linux evangelizing opportunity - I could just point people to a pirated windows admin boot CD. So the smaller the distro, and the less steps required, the better - if they have to open Terminal, they'll never try linux again. | 08:43 |
| Darius08x | Ok back again. Anyways. I just recently installed windows xp. Then went over to the live cd of ubuntu 7.10 desktop version. I'm in the manual install partition table, and don't know what to do next. I want to dual boot xp and ubuntu, but I have no idea where to go now. | 08:43 |
| ali1234 | Slart: and i can ping it... the ftp connection even gets packets back from it, but then it just stops. i have a wireshark trace if you would like to see it | 08:43 |
| wols_ | ali1234: if you want to allow users behind a router to connect you need to assign and portforward a high port range too. not just 20,21 | 08:43 |
| peacepipejv | onats: its not a mute problem, "no volume control gstreamer plugins and/or devices found" | 08:43 |
| Slart | wols_: well.. the fingers move on their own.. =) | 08:43 |
| wols_ | rxndx: gcc <file> | 08:43 |
| rxndx | wols_ thank you | 08:44 |
| ali1234 | wols_: the ftp server and the gutsy are on the same switch | 08:44 |
| echosystm | where does firefox install to by default? | 08:44 |
| Iggz | Bagent: thanks checking out now | 08:44 |
| wasme | wols_: and as I said I already did that. It didn't help. But I can see you've concluded I'm not listening, so I guess I should conclude I won't get any help here. | 08:44 |
| wols_ | Darius08x: just install it. it will be able to dualboot automatically | 08:44 |
| onats | peacepipejv, ah ok.. in that case i dont know.. | 08:44 |
| Slart | ali1234: hmm.. that just makes it even strangers.. no packets or all packets are the usual states..=) | 08:44 |
| Darius08x | oh. | 08:44 |
| onats | anyone here using bittornado? | 08:44 |
| rxndx | wols_ tons of errors | 08:44 |
| bAgent_bo | Iggz while you are just exploring linux you might also want to try out other desktop environments | 08:44 |
| wols_ | wasme: as you just said you did NOT. no kernel module. now go away until you can answer the questions posed to you | 08:44 |
| wols_ | rxndx: dó you think I'm psychich? | 08:45 |
| Darius08x | do I want to use guided - entire disk then? | 08:45 |
| wols_ | -h | 08:45 |
| Darius08x | if I just hit forward her eit says... | 08:45 |
| wols_ | Darius08x: do you have free, unpartitioned space on your harddisk? | 08:45 |
| adamonline45 | Does anyone know where I can find a font like this: http://www.kde-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=61241&file1=61241-1.png&file2=&file3=&name=Revelation+-+Domino | 08:46 |
| Slart | ali1234: and ping works even with bigger payloads? try ping -s 5000 | 08:46 |
| Iggz | Final question, I know that Linux uses the NTFs file system, however, i notice that linux programs do not seem to come with an installer - but must be installed via the tools in the OS itself. if you have multible drives is it possible to choose which drive to install to? | 08:46 |
| Slart | amaroso: not nice.. please stop | 08:46 |
| bAgent_bo | Iggz kubuntu-desktop is a pretty popular meta package, it installs the kde "k desktop environment" along with the kubuntu default apps. | 08:46 |
| Iggz | *multiple | 08:46 |
| ali1234 | Slart: ping -s 5000 does not work from either the gutsy or edgy box | 08:46 |
| wols_ | Iggz: linux does not use ntfs. and in linux there are no "drives" or "driveletters" either | 08:47 |
| Slart | Iggz: hmm.. not really.. linux doesn't really work the same way as windows does.. | 08:47 |
| Iggz | bAgent: thanks searching now :-) | 08:47 |
| wols_ | Iggz: you have a / and all your disks are mounted as subdirectories to / | 08:47 |
| Darius08x | Uhhh, honestly I hardly know what I'm doing. So I don't know. I didn't see anyway to choose how much space to use in windows. So I just installed using the whole disk I suppose. In the partiton table I've got /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 which is 320062 MB, so I'm assuming all my space is right there. :/ | 08:47 |
| bAgent_bo | Iggz ??? I know that Linux uses the NTFs file system," linux can access ntfs filesystems but doesn't want to live there. | 08:47 |
| Darius08x | I'm very, very, new, so I'm sure I sound pretty dumb D: | 08:47 |
| rxndx | wols_ thanks... going to search google to see if I can learn some programming | 08:47 |
| wols_ | Darius08x: you need to resize the windows partition then first | 08:47 |
| rxndx | wols_ take care | 08:47 |
| Iggz | LOL | 08:47 |
| chief | how can I set a monitor mode for 1024x1024@75 , the monitor driver for my CRT is wrong! | 08:47 |
| Slart | ali1234: it doesn't? that's odd.. I can ping with payloads up to at least 20000 here between my 2 gutsy boxes.. | 08:48 |
| Darius08x | How exactly does one do that? | 08:48 |
| wols_ | chief: stop X. then in a terminal dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh | 08:48 |
| chief | 1280x1024 I mean | 08:48 |

| wols_ | chief: sudo dpkg-reconfigure | 08:48 |
| Darius08x | If I click on it and go to edit partition it doesn't give me an option to resize it | 08:48 |
| Iggz | WOLS so you can chose which"subdirectory? | 08:48 |
| ali1234 | Slart: the ftp server is not running gutsy, not running linux... it runs RTOS | 08:48 |
| Slart | oh.. well it isn't an emergency really.. but amaroso is /msg spamming | 08:48 |
| Iggz | Damn my typing is falling to bits - sorry very tired | 08:49 |
| wols_ | Iggz: you can but you shouldn't really. especially since you don't know how it works. I guarantee you it won't work when you do it | 08:49 |
| Slart | ali1234: well.. it should still be able to pass bigger packets around.. | 08:49 |
| Amaranth | Slart: I'm not seeing anything | 08:49 |
| bAgent_bo | Iggz linux "by nature" uses ext2 file system and in later times ext3 which is ext2 plus a journel | 08:49 |
| wols_ | Slart: next time: !Ops amaroso is spamming in msg | 08:49 |
| Slart | ah.. perhaps he's just spamming me then.. wow.. a personal enemy.. how nice =) | 08:49 |
| wols_ | Slart: so ops already know what the "emergency" is | 08:49 |
| ali1234 | Slart: yeah. it should also open a listening socket before sending out the response to PASV command... but it doesnt | 08:49 |
| amaroso | what | 08:49 |
| Slart | thanks wols_ didn't know that | 08:49 |
| elkbuntu | wols_, thanks | 08:49 |
| MacMatt | Hello Hello! | 08:49 |
| ali1234 | Slart: thw only reason im trying to connect to the thing using curl is to get a debug trace to send to the people who made it | 08:50 |
| glick_ | hi | 08:50 |
| Iggz | WOLs, thanks. So the installer will simply look for free space in any of the subdirectories available? | 08:50 |
| elkbuntu | Slart, not everyone gets all the PM spams :) | 08:50 |

| glick_ | but i still cafnt play flash movies in firefox | 08:50 |
| wols_ | Iggz: no. linux has a quite rigid way installing things. it installs things in the proper places which is the same place on all ubuntu installs | 08:50 |
| u_angel | helllo room. limewire is just a blank screen. has anyone seen that before? | 08:50 |
| chief | wols_: okay that worked. | 08:50 |
| Slart | ali1234: hmm.. can you ping something else on the network with a big packet size? | 08:50 |
| ali1234 | Slart: yes the edgy and gutsy boxes can ping each other fine with 5000 | 08:51 |
| glick_ | can anyone play flash movies in firefox? | 08:51 |
| Slart | ali1234: if the ftp-server can't handle big pings perhaps it can't handle any big packets at all.. that would perhaps explain why it won't work.. | 08:51 |
| glick_ | what do i need to install | 08:51 |
| chief | wols_: thanks | 08:51 |
| wols_ | Iggz: just like you can't just put your user's files anywhere. the only place you should put them is in your /home | 08:51 |
| wols_ | Slart: makes no sense | 08:51 |

| shadowblade | wols_: i was just following the steps in the howto and it went well up until there | 08:53 |
| bAgent_bo | Iggz yeah wols is right, easy way is just free up some space that is not partitioned, the installer will make the partition with your permission of course. | 08:53 |
| Skello | Hi, I'm running Ubuntu AMD64. I've installed sun-java6-jre through apt-get. Obviously it installed the 64 bits java version, however i can't get Opera to work with java even if i point it to the correct java path /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64. I assume this is because Opera is 32 bits version and java isn't. Should i install java for i386 then? and how should i do this? | 08:53 |
| Iggz | WOLS really? I think I am getting this. So where as Windows goes looking for partitions, linux will simply ignore this and see only directories? | 08:54 |
| bAgent_bo | Iggz it doesn't even need to be on the first disk. | 08:54 |
| zzap | Hey, I need some help. | 08:54 |
| zzap | Just installed Ubuntu for the first time. | 08:54 |
| zzap | And I kind accidently borked it. :P | 08:54 |
| Slart | ali1234: then I'm out of ideas.. can't imagine why the gutsy box won't talk to the ftp-server.. if gutsy had some weirdness going on in its network part I'm sure we would have heard about it by now.. | 08:54 |
| Fyda | zzap: Could you please describe the problem in more detail? | 08:54 |
| cihann | hi | 08:54 |
| zzap | The screen resolution is not right | 08:55 |
| wols_ | Iggz: no. it sees directories. but ubuntu likes to create its partitions in its installers. not let windows create it for it | 08:55 |
| wols_ | erm, it sees partitions | 08:55 |
| peacepipejv | help, "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found" error when i try to open volume controls. | 08:55 |
| wols_ | Skello: there is no 64bit java plugin in existance. you can try nspluginwrapper | 08:55 |
| Fyda | zzap: Ah. But, you said you somehow broke it -- that means it used to be correct, yes? | 08:56 |
| bAgent_bo | Iggz what you are "getting" is that when linux mounts a filesystem it is then just a subdir of the system. | 08:56 |
| glick_ | i see what the problem is | 08:56 |
| wols_ | !sound | peacepipejv | 08:56 |
| ubotu | peacepipejv: 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).

| ali1234 | Slart: i'm tending toward blaming IPCOP | 08:56 |
| glick_ | for some reason there is a md5sum mismatch | 08:56 |
| Iggz | Wols: got it thank you. can i keep IRC up on the same comp while the installer is running? just in case i get stuck? :-) | 08:56 |
| ciacon | hi all... i have a q.... i have some troubble with the fps tremuous game... can someone help me?? or can someone tell me where I can find help on this?? | 08:56 |
| glick_ | and it causes flash player not to install | 08:56 |
| Slart | ali1234: but the ipcop machine isn't between you and the ftp is it? | 08:56 |
| wols_ | Iggz: of course | 08:56 |
| glick_ | i have no idea how to fix it though | 08:56 |
| bAgent_bo | Iggz sure. | 08:56 |
| zzap | I set it up to the right resolution, sO I'm not sure what I did wrong. | 08:56 |
| glick_ | anyone have the same problem? | 08:56 |
| wols_ | ciacon: don't ask to ask, just ask | 08:56 |
| ali1234 | Slart: no, but that hasn't stopped it from completely screwing up the network before | 08:56 |
| zzap | Someone? | 08:56 |
| Iggz | OK, her goes | 08:57 |
| wols_ | glick_: check launchpad for the bug. adobe changed the download | 08:57 |
| wols_ | glick_: there should be a wokaround | 08:57 |
| zzap | The screen resolution is not right. Like, when I boot up and it gets to the login screen, I see all these lines and stuff. I set it up to the right monitor and resolution. And it told me to log off and log back on for the changes to take effect. So I did that. But when I logged off it went all weird. | 08:57 |
| shadowblade | wols_: ?? | 08:57 |
| Slart | ali1234: oh.. I used ipcop on my former workplace.. it never misbehaved there | 08:57 |
| wols_ | shadowblade: hm? | 08:57 |
| Iggz | :wonders of and presses install - fingers crossed and fearing the cures of Bill gates | 08:57 |
| glick_ | wols how launchpad? | 08:57 |
| wols_ | !launchpad | 08:57 |

| onats | anyone here using bittornado? | 08:58 |
| === bAgent_bo is now known as intelikey | ||
| Darius08x | Hope I'm not being too big of a nuisance, but how do I resize my existing windows partition so i can dual boot it and ubuntu | 08:58 |
| wols_ | zzap: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg while X doesn't run. do it until you get it right. what videocard do you have? | 08:58 |
| shadowblade | wols_: do you know what the problem is? | 08:58 |
| Skello | wols_ i believe that's true for Firefox. Opera uses and detects java directly, doesn't need a plugin. It just needs the proper path to libjava.so and that's in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64. However Opera doesn't have a 64 bits stable version yet. So it's a 32 bits one. I thnink that's the problem. | 08:58 |
| Fyda | zzap: Which video card are you using? | 08:58 |
| ciacon | some of the aliens encountered in tremulous are 3x the size they should be.... tyrants are so big, that they are taller than the ceeling... that obviously is a grafics-error... didn't have it on my old pc... can anyone give me any hints?? | 08:58 |
| wols_ | Darius08x: it's explained in the ubuntu docs | 08:58 |
| intelikey | Darius08x gparted ? | 08:58 |
| Darius08x | Ah, I forgot about gparted. | 08:59 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | shadowblade: did you download the correct driver (32 or 64-bit) listed above the steps? | 08:59 |
| wols_ | shadowblade: does this file exist? yes or no? if no: make it exist. it's part of your windows drivers | 08:59 |
| zzap | It's a RADEON 9200 PRO, it seems, Fyda / wols_. | 08:59 |
| glick_ | i dont see anything in launchpad | 08:59 |
| glick_ | about it | 08:59 |
| shadowblade | Triskaidekaphobi: I tried those and the ones from the dell website, got the same errors with both | 09:00 |
| wols_ | zzap: use the "ati" or "radeon" driver then | 09:00 |
| glick_ | i guess thats a bug and ill just have to wait for the update | 09:00 |
| zzap | wols_: How do I get into that if I can't see anything on the monitor? | 09:00 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | shadowblade: where did you extract the driver files? | 09:00 |
| zzap | Type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in the recovery mode thing? | 09:00 |
| Fyda | zzap: Could you please post the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file on a site like pastebin.com or pastebin.ca? | 09:00 |

| Fyda | zzap: That command reconfigures your graphical server. If you were doing that from the recovery mode console, then you would type "exit" and it'd proceed to boot up into graphical mode. | 09:03 |

| rxndx | wols_ to me... you have an answer for everything! it's awesome! | 09:04 |
| Iggz | Or would the guided use largest continous free space be best option? | 09:04 |

| zzap | Fyda: Alright. | 09:05 |
| wols_ | Skello: no | 09:05 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | shadowblade: did you extract both files (64 and 32-bit) to the same folder? | 09:06 |
| Iggz | Bugger it. How much free space does ubuntu need for an install? :-) | 09:06 |
| wols_ | Skello: why do you need a 43bit java for a java app? java uses a VM you know? | 09:06 |

| wols_ | Iggz: why don't you read them? | 09:06 |
| shadowblade | Triskaidekaphobi: the dell drivers i'm trying now are all in the one folder | 09:06 |
| VSpike | Iggz: For a clean install? 2GB I think | 09:07 |
| Iggz | Inded, sorry WOLs -being very lazy - thank you :-) | 09:07 |
| Skello | wols_ i don't know. That's why i'm here asking. I said 'i assume i need the 32 bit version' to run a java app. Correct me if i'm wrong please :) | 09:07 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | shadowblade: ok, not good, you need to re-extract the 32-bit driver ZIP to a separate folder, then verify the name of the INF file... | 09:07 |
| wols_ | Skello: you are most certainly wrong. satisfied now? | 09:07 |
| chief | how do I kill the login manager for a moment ? | 09:07 |
| ali1234 | so how does ubuntu keep the same ethN name for nics when you put in a new one? | 09:07 |
| wols_ | chief: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 09:07 |
| chief | wols_: ta | 09:08 |
| wols_ | ali1234: udev | 09:08 |
| Skello | wols_ of course. Thank you for your assistance. Much appeciated. | 09:08 |
| wols_ | ali1234: it identifies them based on their MAC | 09:08 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | shadowblade: if the name is not the same as in step 13, you need to substitute the INF name you found in that folder | 09:08 |
| Slart | ali1234: I think it assigns them in the same order it loads drivers for them | 09:08 |
| ali1234 | wols_: already found it | 09:08 |
| wols_ | Slart: not anymore | 09:08 |
| shadowblade | Triskaidekaphobi: its the same | 09:08 |
| chief | wols_: nice that crashed the entire OS | 09:08 |
| wols_ | chief: what did? | 09:08 |
| Slart | ali1234: but I think you can specify which card gets which name in /etc/network/interfaces | 09:09 |
| ali1234 | Slart: no, that's how it used to work, and putting a new nic in your router could leave you without a firewall :/ | 09:09 |
| wols_ | chief: define "crashed" please | 09:09 |
| Iggz | VSpike thats what i thought I had read but when I chose guided option on partion tab it tells me there isn't enough free space continous that is - although I know I have at least 24 gig free in at least one of my (windows) partions | 09:09 |
| chief | wols_: the moment I told gdm to stop | 09:09 |
| wols_ | Slart: please don't answer when you are wrong | 09:09 |
| wols_ | chief: define what you mean with "crash" | 09:09 |
| Darius08x | weird, gparted isn't letting me resize. | 09:09 |
| ali1234 | Slart: no no no, it's in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 09:09 |
| chief | wols_: well crash, as in computer not usable anymore | 09:09 |
| wols_ | ali1234: no. it's in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules | 09:09 |
| someone | bash doesn't seem to be reading in /etc/profile or ~/.profile anyone know why is this ? | 09:09 |
| wols_ | someone: maybe not a login shell? | 09:10 |
| ali1234 | wols_: that file does not exist on my computer | 09:10 |
| wols_ | someone: or a loginshell | 09:10 |
| shadowblade | Triskaidekaphobi: when i run ndiswrapper -l, it tells me it's invalid | 09:10 |
| chief | wols_: basically I've got too press the reset button to get the pc back | 09:10 |
| wols_ | ali1234: any file with "25" in there then? | 09:10 |
| Darius08x | If I double click on it to open up properties I get "warning" (random stuff) Accounting clusters. Cluster accounting failed at 6519 (0x1977); extra cluster in $bitmap over and over | 09:10 |
| wols_ | chief: that's... odd | 09:10 |
| ali1234 | wols_: no | 09:10 |
| VSpike | Iggz: Have your tried defragging the windows partition from windows first? | 09:10 |
| VSpike | Iggz: it may be trying to tell you that it can't resize it successfully | 09:11 |
| chief | wols_: very.. | 09:11 |
| Darius08x | What does that men? | 09:11 |
| wols_ | chief: what videodrivers do you use | 09:11 |
| someone | wols_ ok. | 09:11 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | shadowblade: remember that linux is case-sensitive, be sure to use the proper case when using "ndiswrapper -i ~/ThIs iS cAsE sEnSiTiVe/DrIvEr.InF" | 09:11 |
| Iggz | VSpike. thats what i thought but just finished a windows defrag in prep :/ | 09:11 |
| chief | wols_: barebone defaults of what ever ubuntu choose to use for my nvidia geforce 7600gt | 09:11 |
| ali1234 | wols_: nothing beginning with "z" either | 09:12 |
| wols_ | chief: that card should have good drivers. nv or vesa | 09:12 |
| Darius08x | mean* | 09:12 |
| shadowblade | Triskaidekaphobi: i've definitely got that right | 09:12 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | shadowblade: true, if it hasn't installed any drivers, it can't list the installed drivers using the -l switch | 09:12 |
| wols_ | ali1234: ok. must be a ubuntu/debian difference then | 09:12 |
| jariep1_ | what is the name of the distribution gutsy such and such | 09:12 |

| chief | wols_: I dislike both, I'd rather have the offical ones, but the docs on that sight are too geekified for me, so I thought I'd shutdown X and install the ones had already downloaded. | 09:13 |

| ali1234 | wols_: this machine was upgraded from feisty | 09:13 |
| jariep1_ | wols_thank you | 09:13 |
| Iggz | indeed, I thought it was just me :-) | 09:13 |
| wols_ | chief: don't. you break your ubuntu. ubuntu comes with perfectly fine nvidia drivers | 09:13 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | shadowblade: try replacing '~' with '/home/YOURID/driverfolder/drivername.inf' after the -i switch | 09:13 |
| wols_ | chief: the nvidia restricted drivers is what you should use | 09:13 |
| wols_ | not from nvidia.com, not envy, not automatic | 09:14 |
| wols_ | *automatix | 09:14 |
| VSpike | Iggz: I think you can download a trial copy of acronis - you could try that to create a new partition, and then run the install | 09:14 |
| chief | wols_: well I tried unstanding that tutorial and well, none of it makes sence | 09:14 |
| someone | Iggz did you turn off windows page file first and then defrag ? | 09:14 |
| wols_ | VSpike: don't create new partitions. let ubuntu create them | 09:14 |
| wols_ | chief: what is the problem? | 09:14 |
| VSpike | wols_: why? | 09:15 |
| chief | wols_: for starters kmenu? that's kde I'm gnome | 09:15 |
| Iggz | OPk, if I go for the guided installation - resize ide 1 I assume it will delete the windows partions and any data that exists there? | 09:15 |
| shadowblade | Triskaidekaphobi: ha that worked...wow | 09:15 |
| Iggz | *OK | 09:15 |
| shadowblade | Triskaidekaphobi: thanks | 09:16 |
| wols_ | chief: same thing tho. select restricted drivers, get nvidia drievrs there. done | 09:16 |
| Triskaidekaphobi | shadowblade: excellent! | 09:16 |
| wols_ | Iggz: not if it resizes | 09:16 |
| chief | wols_: restricted drivers from where? | 09:16 |
| wols_ | chief: System . Administration | 09:17 |
| Iggz | Great - and it wont cause any difficulties in WIndows? ie with the windows registry looking for programs which will no longer be where it thinks they are? | 09:17 |
| chief | wols_: nvidia-glx-new is not enabled. | 09:17 |
| wols_ | chief: then "enable" it? | 09:17 |
| chief | lol how ? | 09:18 |
| wols_ | how do you install stuff? | 09:18 |
| VSpike | Iggz: the resizing is transparent to windows, but backup any essential data first | 09:18 |
| wols_ | become administrator, enable it | 09:18 |
| VSpike | Iggz: it's pretty reliable, but any disk operation like that is fallible, e.g if the power fails half-way through | 09:18 |
| chief | wols_: there is no package nvidia-glx-new in the package manager ;) | 09:18 |
| Iggz | Thank you VSpike. | 09:19 |
| wols_ | but in restricted drivers there is | 09:19 |
| chief | not on this box | 09:19 |

| VSpike | onats_: the update manager should do it for you I think | 09:37 |
| VSpike | onats_: in other words, it should already have happened | 09:38 |
| onats_ | vspike, it's telling me it can only do a partial upgrade... | 09:38 |
| endofnite | sudo apt-get upgrade | 09:38 |
| VSpike | onats_: There may be one package that's stuck or broken. Best to use the command line and you will see what the problem is | 09:38 |
| onats_ | vspike, ill have it download 666 packages first, then i'll retry the upgrade using command line | 09:39 |
| bullgard4 | How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the GNOME Quit dialog ('System' > 'Quit')? | 09:39 |
| VSpike | onats_: sure - it will install what it can, the other packages will stay in the download cache | 09:40 |

| VSpike | onats_: http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/ | 09:51 |
| VSpike | onats_: also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy | 09:51 |
| VSpike | onats_: It just says that of all the clones, only apt-cacher is still active and it's not as full featured as apt-proxy | 09:52 |
| VSpike | onats_: given how mild that it, I'd suggest if you have it working, stick with it, but it's up to you | 09:52 |

| Gmac | now its got Tomboy? | 09:56 |
| Ayabara | I use pidigin without tabbed chats. New chat windows are always placed on top of the last created one. Is there a way to make the windows behave like other apps -> get placed on free desktop space. | 09:56 |
| VSpike | Gmac: yeah if you don't have kde installed, or any kde apps, then the first kde app you install will pull in a bunch of kde libs. And the first kde app you run will load a bunch of kde libs | 09:57 |
| Gmac | VSpike: right, will avoid KDE programs - they should have a split on the repo? | 09:57 |
| VSpike | Gmac: if you have a reasonably fast machine, a large drive, and no obsession with purity or one true desktop, it's not a problem though :) | 09:57 |
| Fethman | Hmm so maybe there is no guide for suspend2. I'll try to do it following the gentoo guide then I may write one :) | 09:57 |

| brobostigon | ozfinngeek, goahead | 11:38 |
| bullgard4 | void^: I was told that 'gnome-session' calls the GNOME Quit dialog. I would like to find the source code line which confirms that. But the ~/gnome-session-2.20.1 directory contains many files. How to narrow down my search for it? | 11:39 |
| ozfinngeek | i googled my brains out, i just want a version number so i can decide to update or not | 11:40 |
| bullgard4 | ozfinngeek: In a Gnome terminal type 'uname -r' | 11:41 |
| naxa | hi! my computer keeps hanging up, and often suddenly restarts! Please help! | 11:41 |

And its on a preselected channel 3.. | 11:56 |

| ricanelite | I just purchase a LCD HDTV Sharp Aquois now it has a HDMI Input and my GeForce Graphics card has a DVI Port. I just got a DVI to HDMI Cable is it possible I could use my new LCD HDTV as a computer Monitor? if so I will I go about configure Linux into using my new LCD HDTV Sharp? | 12:33 |
| dave81 | tarelerulz i havent used it | 12:33 |
| brobostigon | tareleruz: i like it generally, but you will need to decide tha for yourself. | 12:34 |
| francesco_ | I need only to run a program that requires KDE? Can I only install 'kde-core'? | 12:34 |
| jrib | francesco_: no need, just install the program | 12:34 |
| tarelerulz | Well, I like totem for the most part for a general media player . | 12:34 |
| tarelerulz | The rest don't have good feature for general | 12:34 |
| francesco_ | But, the program can't run some part because it doesn't find a KDE environment. | 12:34 |
| dave81 | i need to find one that copes with large mp3 play lists | 12:34 |
| tarelerulz | mplayer don't have much of an playlist options | 12:35 |
| brobostigon | vlc is good if ou come across an unusual file format | 12:35 |
| dgjones | francesco_, if you install the program you need, synaptic will install any dependencies it need automatically | 12:35 |
| ZeroA4 | tarelerulz, i like VLC... light, complete... i use it more than the others medias players | 12:35 |
| jrib | francesco_: if you are installing through APT, it should work. How are you installing it? What program? | 12:35 |
| tarelerulz | dave you mean all 20gb of your music | 12:35 |
| v-dogg | jrib: http://pastebin.com/d64a7ef82 | 12:35 |
| francesco_ | "add/remove application". | 12:35 |
| dave81 | yse | 12:35 |
| dave81 | yes* | 12:36 |
| brobostigon | use synaptic | 12:36 |
| edd_ | #ubuntu-pl | 12:36 |
| jrib | francesco_: what program? | 12:36 |
| francesco_ | I've installed "Kmplot". | 12:36 |
| tarelerulz | yes they make media player called ipod for that dave haha | 12:36 |
| dev2_bpocanada | hi all | 12:36 |
| jrib | francesco_: and what does not work? | 12:36 |
| dave81 | hehe | 12:36 |
| francesco_ | I can't run "help". | 12:36 |
| omp | any good games for ubuntu like ole dos games | 12:36 |
| tarelerulz | So dave do you have it all meta taged right so you could search by artist and so on | 12:37 |
| b4l74z4r | stunts was a cool game | 12:37 |
| francesco_ | From 'login manager' there is no choise like 'kde environment'. | 12:37 |
| brobostigon | omp: search on packages.ubuntu.com it lists loads mof games for ubuntu there | 12:37 |
| omp | thanks brobostigon | 12:37 |
| brobostigon | at the top of the page you need to click on the version of ubuntu you have omp | 12:38 |
| omp | i see | 12:38 |
| dave81 | yes its all taged | 12:38 |
| jrib | francesco_: after you installed kubuntu-desktop? | 12:38 |
| tarelerulz | Well, there should be something that can use the media tags | 12:39 |
| tarelerulz | that is what the ipod does | 12:39 |
| jrib | v-dogg: does windows boot okay by the way? | 12:39 |
| francesco_ | I haven't install 'kubuntu-desktop'. When I installed "kmplt' Ubuntu installed adding software. I don't know if it installed, kubuntu desktop. | 12:40 |
| omp | brobostigon, i think when i'll do a apt-cache search games i will get the same list won't i? but i was wondering wether ubuntu have games like hocus-pocus and all.. and if it exists where it can be downloaded from | 12:40 |
| grindcore_ | is here someone who have ati radeon xpress card and know how to activate the compiz effects ? or which effects i can use with my VGA.any ideas ? | 12:40 |
| francesco_ | 'kmplot'. | 12:40 |

| syndr0 | is there any better bittorent clients than the original for ubuntu? | 12:40 |
| syndr0 | neumind, what are you looking for? | 12:40 |
| dgjones | !tv | neumind | 12:40 |
| ubotu | neumind: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 12:40 |
| brobostigon | well any games that can be installed using apt, will be listed there. | 12:40 |
| tarelerulz | syndr0 azureus is pretty good | 12:40 |
| neumind | syndr0, i need tv program | 12:41 |
| syndr0 | neumind, to watch tv? to download tv shows? what | 12:41 |
| jrib | francesco_: you will only have the option to log into kde if you install "kubuntu-desktop". As for your actual issue, try installing khelpcenter | 12:41 |
| v-dogg | jrib: that is "Invalid or unsupported executable format" | 12:41 |
| neumind | syndr0, watch tv | 12:41 |
| syndr0 | neumind, define tv program, thats too broad | 12:41 |
| omp | well my concern was that only.. | 12:41 |
| syndr0 | !tv | neumind | 12:41 |
| ubotu | neumind: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv.

| jrib | v-dogg: and you haven't switched the order around in bios? | 12:42 |
| syndr0 | tarelerulz, is it better than the original client? like will it download faster? | 12:42 |
| oj | how do i delete a directory through terminal? | 12:42 |
| syndr0 | rmdir | 12:42 |
| jrib | oj: rm -r | 12:42 |
| v-dogg | jrib: order of the disks? no | 12:42 |
| jrib | !cli > oj (read the private message from ubotu) | 12:42 |
| francesco_ | The problem is that my HDD is half full, and I don't want to install a lot of packages. Do you think I could install only kde-core? | 12:42 |
| tarelerulz | It has more options then the fist one and use different things to make it work better | 12:43 |
| jrib | francesco_: well, I suggested just khelpcenter, so maybe try that first? | 12:43 |
| syndr0 | ty tarelerulz.... | 12:43 |
| tarelerulz | Put it like this I use it | 12:44 |
| francesco_ | Thank you very much. I will try so. Goodbye jrib! Goodbye guys! | 12:44 |
| tarelerulz | It has all I need | 12:44 |
| tarelerulz | It all so has plugin for ip blocking | 12:44 |
| tarelerulz | called safepeer | 12:44 |
| jrib | v-dogg: hmm, since there are really only 3 possibilities, go to grub, press 'e' and try all possibilities: hd0, hd1, (hd2 is what it is trying now) | 12:45 |
| Gekone | Salve a tutti. | 12:45 |
| jrib | v-dogg: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 look at what happened here too | 12:46 |

| pupe | hi | 12:47 |
| v-dogg | jrib: so now I just have to try what makes windows boot and make these changes to grubs config/installation? | 12:47 |

| Breetai | I'm trying to get a friend on line with a modem. They need sl-modem and I am having dependancy problems. I thought if I built a box like theres. Did an apt-get update/upgrade. I could then make a CD of these packages and upgrade them to a known state where sl-modem will install? Does anyone know what I need to do to get that done? aptoncd won't work, because they don't have gnome installed | 12:48 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | hi all... does anyone understand why dhcdbd uses com.redhat.dhcp ? | 12:48 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | it's in the command that sends a dbug message to dhcdbd | 12:48 |
| === DiCha_cHa-Cha is now known as co_delonge_hoppu | ||
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | oops... dbus I meant :) | 12:49 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | anyone have any ideas? | 12:49 |
| rohit__ | Don't mind me :P | 12:49 |
| jrib | Breetai: apt-zip would work. Or, just do 'apt --print-uris install sl-modem' on their box (or your similar one) and then wget all those files | 12:49 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | anyone understand dbug at all? | 12:50 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | I mean dbus | 12:51 |
| jrib | Breetai: if you use the 2nd method you would then drop the debs into /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 12:51 |
| bullgard4 | How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the GNOME Quit dialog ('System' > 'Quit')? | 12:52 |
| jrib | bullgard4: you would probably have to read the source code | 12:52 |
| bullgard4 | jrib: Yes. But I have not managed to fetch the source code. | 12:53 |
| jrib | bullgard4: apt-get source PACKAGE | 12:53 |
| damaltor | bullgard4: or jou print "ps aux" onto a terminal like ctrl+alt+F, klick the button, and go back to console to see whats new | 12:54 |
| bullgard4 | jrib: I do not know the associated package for it. | 12:54 |
| Breetai | jrib: I got it. I did a search on aptoncd. Hoping someone had asked about doing this without aptoncd. I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptMoveHowto | 12:54 |
| jrib | bullgard4: whatever package gnome-session is in will get you started | 12:54 |
| Breetai | jrib: apt-move will let me create a deb archive cd that I can use on their computer without having to know what packages they have installed besides apt-get and synaptic | 12:55 |
| DannyKing | I'm having trouble with my wacom intous3 graphics pen: I got it working perfectly last night (with pressure sensitivity in the gimp) but now, after a restart, the gimp reports there are no extended input devices. What could have changed in a restart to cause this? | 12:55 |
| bullgard4 | jrib: This is not very practical. I did apt-get source gnome-session but this obtains a lot of files. | 12:55 |
| jrib | bullgard4: you asked for a way, this is one | 12:56 |
| Sharpie | i'm trying to make a share folder in virtualbox and i get this error when i mount it: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error | 12:56 |
| bullgard4 | jrib: Ok, thank you, I will go this stony path. | 12:56 |
| v-dogg | jrib: thank you very much for all the help | 12:56 |
| damaltor | bullgard4: have you read my idea? | 12:56 |
| Breetai | DannyKing: you probably did a modprobe <driver> to load that driver. When you rebooted, the driver is no longer loaded. You need to force your system to load it by adding it to /etc/modules | 12:57 |
| FFighter | I've got desktop effects at the max but I'd like to change the effects and tune other options | 12:57 |
| bullgard4 | damaltor: Yes. I am still considering it. | 12:57 |
| FFighter | Does Gutsy come with the Compiz Fusion Control Panel? | 12:57 |
| jrib | v-dogg: yeah that should work. You should find what you need for windows too now | 12:57 |
| damaltor | bullgard4: lot of work though, but seems easyer to me... you could do the "before-klick" output on terminal F1 ant the "after-klick" output in terminal F2, so you can switch by checking | 12:58 |
| Breetai | DannyKing: then everytime when you boot, the driver will be loaded automatically. Otherwise you will have to do a sudo modprobe <driver> to load the module when you need it. | 12:58 |
| jrib | bullgard4, damaltor: assumes a new process is spawned though | 12:58 |
| dgjones | !ccsm | FFighter | 12:58 |
| ubotu | FFighter: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 12:58 |
| damaltor | bullgard4, jrib: yes, thats true. but worth a try i think | 12:58 |
| jrib | damaltor: sure, good idea | 12:59 |
| peter77 | hi, I'm having problems mounting an NTFS partition, it used to mount fine before gutsy | 12:59 |
| peter77 | I have shutdown windows properly and reinstalled the ntfs-3g drivers | 12:59 |
| FFighter | dgjones, thank you | 12:59 |
| bullgard4 | damaltor: I will give it a try although pressing some of the buttons is dangerous because the computer will restart or go to sleep. | 12:59 |

| TooR4u | I thought linux has no virus ... but now i am troubled by a mouse virus ... each time when i start the system the mouse is clicking itself on random possitions causing lot of incovineance to me .. | 13:00 |

| _nix_ | hello everybody.. anyone know what I need to install to get ktorrent's web-gui working? It says php-executable not found in path.. | 13:00 |

| Sharpie | i'm trying to make a share folder in virtualbox and i get this error when i mount it: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error | 13:00 |
| damaltor | TooR4u: installing antivirus software? | 13:00 |
| peter77 | so can anyone help me with my ntfs mounting problem? | 13:01 |
| bullgard4 | damaltor: One button is 'Reboot', another 'Hibernate', a third 'Suspend', a fourth 'Shutdown'. | 13:01 |
| TooR4u | bazhang, not a virus? | 13:01 |
| bazhang | !ntfs | peter77 | 13:01 |
| ubotu | peter77: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 13:01 |
| DannyKing | Breetai, sudo modprobe wacom didn't change it, any hints? :) | 13:01 |
| damaltor | bullgard4: no need to klick them... | 13:01 |
| bazhang | TooR4u: highly unlikely | 13:01 |
| damaltor | !ntfs-3g peter77 | 13:02 |

| peter77 | bazhang, thank you, ofcourse the first thing I forgot to do was look on the ubuntu site and forums after my ntfs drive refused to mount!!!! | 13:02 |
| TooR4u | okey ..... | 13:02 |

| damaltor | bullgard4: aaah ok.. | 13:02 |
| lnx^ | hi, is anyone aware of a suspend2-enabled kernel repository for gutsy? the default suspend/resume is way too slow, and without suspend2 in the kernel i won't dare to upgrade to 7.10 | 13:02 |
| bazhang | peter77: no worries :} | 13:02 |
| damaltor | bullgard4: had that too, system lockup no? | 13:02 |
| peter77 | I know what ntfs-3g is, I want to know why fuse is claiming that the device is busy | 13:03 |
| lbe | (|-_-|) | 13:03 |
| damaltor | peter77: while mounting? | 13:03 |
| damaltor | peter77: or while unmounting? | 13:03 |
| TooR4u | peter77, why dont u try through command prompt? | 13:03 |
| Breetai | DannyKing: I would then do a sudo modprobe -r wacom to unload the driver then do a sudo modprobe -v wacom to load it and see if any usefull messages come up. | 13:03 |
| peter77 | ok, I have set it to mount in fstab on mount | 13:03 |
| codemutant | guys.. i have 7.04 installed in harddisk. its also running vista. | 13:03 |

| codemutant | but after a few days i also installed suse 10.1 .. | 13:03 |
| bullgard4 | damaltor: No, It does not produce a system lockup. It produces the Gnome Unlock dialog prematurely. (This did not happen in Feisty.) | 13:04 |
| TooR4u | peter77, its good idea | 13:04 |
| peter77 | when I run the mount command sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 | 13:04 |

| codemutant | can anyone give a hint?? | 13:13 |
| bloon1 | can I use apt-get to install fluxbox in ubuntu? | 13:13 |

| Breetai | DannyKing: grep -i wacom /var/log/XFree86.0.log look inside the XFree log and see what it says about the wacom driver loading. That was 5.4 on this page http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/all | 13:14 |
| damaltor | YgorSpain: well why not damnsmall? | 13:14 |
| damaltor | ochosi: ok thats a solution too :D | 13:14 |
| kitofhawaii | YgorSpain: looked at arch linux? | 13:14 |
| DannyKing | Breetai, hmm - restarting x dosn't help. I'm not sure it's a problem loading the module because the actual tablet interacts with the laptop (i.e. moves the cursor) but the gimp and inskcape can no longer see it. dmesg said that it's at /class/input/input3 | 13:15 |
| peter77 | damaltor, what would be the command to mount a partition read only? | 13:15 |

| BrianB04 | WHich I have done before. But I didn't see anything unusual | 13:42 |
| damaltor | BrianB04: you have to set color depth to 24 and you have to add the line >>Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP<< in the device section | 13:43 |
| BrianB04 | damaltor: What does DFP stand for? | 13:44 |
| damaltor | BrianB04: lost a " in the end of the line by asting | 13:44 |
| BrianB04 | I figured. | 13:44 |
| damaltor | BrianB04: if im honest i have no idea, but worked well on three pcs now | 13:44 |
| verb3k | bloony, do this: sudo apt-get install usplash-theme-ubuntu | 13:44 |

| romantik | i have SanDisk Sansa e260 | 14:03 |
| romantik | please help | 14:03 |
| verb3k | romantik, you mean you load them from ubuntu to the player? | 14:04 |
| BrianB04 | My Sansa doesn't even work with Linux. | 14:04 |
| romantik | verb3k, yes | 14:04 |
| verb3k | maybe it has something to do with the way linux handles folders and directories | 14:05 |

| dgjones | BrianB04, there was somebody asking about Sansa yesterday, i think they had to change a setting on the player for the USB mode, can't remember the details, give me a minute & find what was said | 14:05 |
| verb3k | I have the same problem ...when I create a folder on a flash drive , the folder is not visable to windows | 14:05 |
| romantik | verb3k, is there any good linux software for synchronizing my mp4 player with my computer? | 14:06 |

| zoli2k | anyone tried google desktop on ubuntu? I have a problem. | 14:09 |
| krush | hello | 14:09 |
| k4k-shell | yes, what do you need. | 14:09 |
| dgjones | BrianB04, there was something said about changing the USB mode from either MSC to MTP mode do that Ubuntu would see it as a removable drive (it could be the other way round from MTP to MSC depending on whats its set as to start with) | 14:09 |
| k4k-shell | zoli2k: I have used it before | 14:10 |
| verb3k | dgjones, I guess you're talking to romantik , am I right? | 14:10 |
| vinas_ | e ae?? | 14:11 |
| dgjones | verb3k, yes, looks like it, i also saw BrianB04's comment about their Sansa not working in Linux, thats what confused me | 14:11 |
| romantik | dgjones, i have the USB Mode set to MSC | 14:11 |
| zoli2k | k4k-shell, If I open preferences or any google desktop option from its menu it simply opens a blank page in the default browser. Changing default browser to opera or firefox doesn't change this behavior. | 14:11 |
| romantik | i can transfer files with an ease | 14:12 |
| BrianB04 | dgjones: I don't know if the Views have that ability to tell the truth. The only mention I found of someone using it in Linux gave me a 404, so. | 14:12 |
| k4k-shell | zoli2k: do you have a gmail account? | 14:12 |

| ubotu | wazeem: 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? | 14:12 |
| romantik | the problem i encounter is the appearance of pictures in the Photo section of my player | 14:12 |
| dgjones | romantik & BrianB04, I haven't got one, so don't if it worked, but that seems to be the suggestion I've seen in a couple of google searchs | 14:12 |
| k4k-shell | zoli2k: you should be able to login to your gmail account and look at the top of the page somewhere and see an option for "Desktop" that will set your preferences as well, that's where it takes you when you click preferences on the actual app | 14:13 |

| romantik | i am baffled... there were some pictures on the player by default when i bought it... they were all listed in the player and correctly displayed... when i load my own pictures, they're not listed in the player... what could be wrong? | 14:14 |
| BrianB04 | romantik: The only thing I can think is it's just the way Linux deals with files...or that that feature requires the Windows client to do it properly. | 14:15 |
| zoli2k | k4k-shell: There is no such link on my gmail page | 14:15 |

| mame_ | I have a nvidia gforce mx 4000 what video card model do I comment out in the framebuffer blacklist? | 15:03 |
| nomike | Now I want to set up DNS correctly...but when I put the web-dns first in my resolv.conf I could not resolv corporate internal domains and when I put the corporate DNS first I could not resolve public domains... | 15:03 |
| xstat | anyone has installed kxdocker?? | 15:04 |
| mame_ | xstat I only wish I knew what you just said | 15:04 |
| erUSUL | annemarie: hp is a safe bet check here the two models you are considering http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi | 15:05 |
| mame_ | would removing xgm package force the computer to boot to a command line? | 15:05 |
| xstat | mame_ when linux boots up it uses a runlevel, all the init apps to be executed are stored as symbolic links in /etc/rcX.d with a prefix of 'S' to Start or 'K' to kill | 15:05 |
| erUSUL | annemarie: for example the samsung is listed as working only partially | 15:06 |
| mame_ | xstat ohhh I keep coming to things like use mingetty but that never works forme | 15:06 |
| xstat | mame_ if you go there you'll probably see SXXgdm | 15:06 |
| levander | When I try "sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com" I get an error about the socket being in use. Is that because ntp.ubuntu.com is too busy to serve me right now? | 15:07 |
| xstat | mame_ if you mv it to KXXgdm then gdm shouldn't run on startup | 15:07 |
| erUSUL | annemarie: and the 2600n as working perfectly | 15:07 |
| mame_ | would removing it via synaptic have the same effect? | 15:07 |
| k4k-shell | Hey, maybe someon can answer this for me. I finally got my laptop to go into suspend when I close the lid, however, when it wakes back up, none of my network interfaces are active according to network-manager | 15:08 |
| thor | mame_ if you want to boot to a command line investigate the run levels. They are different for ubuntu and suse so I can't tell you the specifics, but you just need to change the run level for bootup | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | annemarie: and the 2600n as working *mostly* | 15:08 |
| verb3k | what's the difference between the desktop kernel and the server kernel in ubuntu ? | 15:08 |
| mame_ | thor I have been and cant figure it out yet | 15:08 |
| JerekDain | how can I get MP3 support for Rhythmbox? I tried googling and found info on the forums, but it was from a couple years ago and the package they said to get no longer exists. | 15:08 |

| k4k-shell | verb3k: likely the modules loaded on boot, I know that my ubuntu server loads a lot more modules at boot then my desktop does | 15:09 |
| mazatapec | Anyone able to help with a user permissions problem? | 15:09 |
| xstat | mame_ you want gdm not to start at boot time rigth? what do you want to run instead? | 15:09 |
| mame_ | xstat I want to boot into advmenu | 15:09 |
| verb3k | k4k-shell, you mean the desktop one is more minimal ? | 15:09 |
| TheNo1Yeti | mazatapec: Please just give your problem. If someone can help they will. :) | 15:09 |
| thor | mame_ well, be very careful about changing the scripts in rc.d. I think if you investigate you will find they are symlinked to rc2.d or rc1.d...that is how they determine what gets started/killed in each run level | 15:09 |
| erUSUL | !anyone | mazatapec | 15:10 |
| ubotu | mazatapec: 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? | 15:10 |
| k4k-shell | verb3k: not so much more minimal as it just doesn't load the /same/ modules, like you don't need PHP and apache on a desktop, but you do on a swerver | 15:10 |
| thor | mame_ my ubuntu computer is packed for shipping so I can't tell you specifics....running suse on this one | 15:10 |
| k4k-shell | er...server* | 15:10 |
| k4k-shell | verb3k: I can't really say for sure, I'm only going on assumption here | 15:10 |
| verb3k | k4k-shell, thanks for the help | 15:11 |
| verb3k | :) | 15:11 |
| sproingie | swerver. i think that's a good name for our servers, as in "dev03 just swerved off the network again" | 15:11 |
| JerekDain | thanks, ubotu | 15:11 |
| mazatapec | I unchecked the "Administration Privileges" box in the System -> Administration -> Users and Groups for my only user account that I have. I have my root password but don't know how to get back to give the permissions back to my main user account. Now when I go to System -> Administration I can't even see the "Users and Groups" category. | 15:11 |

| andres1 | hola | 15:12 |
| erUSUL | !es | andres1 | 15:12 |

| mazatapec | I can get into the root account through the terminal, just don't know how to change permissions for my user account that way | 15:13 |
| erUSUL | mazatapec: then as root do 'adduser <youruser> admin' | 15:13 |
| erUSUL | !root | mazatapec | 15:13 |
| ubotu | mazatapec: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:13 |
| TheNo1Yeti | Wow, that was very zen | 15:14 |
| erUSUL | mazatapec: enabling the root account is discuraged and no supported configuration | 15:14 |
| erUSUL | mazatapec: once youir user is in the admin group she will be able to use sudo to do everything | 15:14 |
| zen-xstat | hello people anyone has successfuly installed kxdocker on kubuntu gutsy ?? | 15:14 |
| alexborsova | yo | 15:15 |

| linduxed | i dualboot with windows xp....and apparently after 2 months of xp usage, it now comes to the conclusion (naturally without any reason or warning) that corrupting hal.dll is a great idea... | 15:17 |
| linduxed | why? googling tells me that this happens if you dualboot... | 15:17 |

| Iggz | Question, given the noted issues with AMDs graphic drivers and Linux - I changed my 1600 back to a geforce 6200 - are there any moded AMD drivers you would recommend? | 15:25 |
| niufox | bazhang, I know~ but I use the ubuntu system ~ | 15:26 |
| toodles | iSE: sorry, that's not right, 1 sec | 15:26 |
| iSE | toodles, yes but i want the music n movies to go to two different soundcards. I want music to go through my soundblaster (default) as with all other sounds. I want JUST the movies, JUST totem to go through my inbuilt one | 15:26 |
| bazhang | niufox: okay :} | 15:26 |
| Locksm | How do i connect via Wi-Fi to a hidden network with a wep 128 ascii encryption where i have to select the channel to CH3? | 15:26 |

| === robeph_ is now known as robeph_asteriasg | ||
| niufox | bazhang, I just want to slove this question under the ubuntu os~ | 15:27 |
| toodles | iSE: I don't think that's possible because totem relies on gstreamer for it's settings. | 15:27 |
| tattoo_ | can I install ubuntu on a mac | 15:28 |
| bazhang | http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/documentation.html might be a good place to start niufox | 15:28 |
| iSE | so can i not change the settings of gstreamer just for totem, or wud that effect the music | 15:28 |
| bazhang | tattoo_: yes | 15:28 |
| r3zon8 | real simple, i dont get a graphical login after installer ubuntu server 7.1, how can i get one? | 15:28 |
| bazhang | tattoo_: intel or ppc? | 15:28 |
| r3zon8 | installing* | 15:28 |
| Sharpie | how can i see my gpu's temp? (i can see it in nvidia-settings but i want something simple like hddtemp) | 15:29 |
| toodles | iSE: That would also effect your music. As far as I know it's just a single set of settings for gstreamer. | 15:29 |
| TheNo1Yeti | r3zon8: I'm guessing probably because the server install is a stripped installation and doesn't include an X server by default | 15:29 |
| toodles | iSE: let me just check something | 15:29 |
| niufox | bazhang, yes ~ I have print it . but ~ U know, I can't find any usefly info. | 15:29 |
| TheNo1Yeti | Hence why it's half the size of the desktop installer | 15:29 |
| tattoo_ | intel | 15:29 |
| niufox | bazhang, I have also read it ~ | 15:30 |
| iSE | toodles, is there no way i can copy the gstreamer settings into a folder say $HOME/.totem n get totem to read from them instead of the general ones? | 15:30 |

| iSE | toodles, i spend ages configuring xorg.conf to as per usual to get it configured correctly the way i want it, but now its just the sound, somet i've never had a problem with before. I can always change totem to use xine, im just curious if its actually possible in gstreamer | 15:33 |
| bazhang | tattoo_: you can use the x86 iso; though you should do some reading first--www.ubuntu-tutorials.com is a good place to start | 15:33 |
| tattoo_ | a friend ask because he seen my ubuntu on the this machine | 15:33 |
| bazhang | b4d: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343989&page=11 | 15:34 |
| bazhang | tattoo_: the one area to watch out for will be wireless--is this a laptop? | 15:35 |
| toodles | iSE: I understand. I've looked though the man pages and gconf settings for totem and can't find anything on it. I guess for now you'll have to use xine/mplayer/vlc. I believe that the sound system is being changed for hardy (ubuntu 8.04) and will allow more advanced behaviour. | 15:35 |
| tattoo_ | yes | 15:35 |
| b4d | bazhang: thx, I'll take a look | 15:35 |

| iSE | toodles, thankyou for ur help. Im just going to install totem with the xine backend. is there much difference between gstreamer n xine newayz? or is it just a case of personal preference? | 15:37 |

| sudobash | hey is there a way to bridge two broandband connection with ubuntu with two NIC's to improve bandwidth? | 15:38 |
| thor | sudobash nope...don't think that will work | 15:39 |
| bazhang | sudobash: if you find out, please report here :} seems unlikely though | 15:39 |
| TheNo1Yeti | What about bridge-utils? | 15:40 |
| thor | sudobash besides...you will never reach full i/o on your broadband connection as it is...there are almost always bottlenecks downstream | 15:40 |
| cens0red | hi. How come, in my gutsy gibbon system, there's nothing in /proc/bus/usb, even though I have a usb device attached? | 15:40 |
| sudobash | but its two seperate ISP's | 15:41 |
| sudobash | ADSL and COMCAST | 15:41 |
| TheNo1Yeti | Aroo? | 15:41 |
| TheNo1Yeti | Yea, on that end no I got nothing | 15:41 |
| sudobash | maybe OpenBSD could do it? | 15:41 |
| toodles | cens0red: To see your attached devices type: lsusb | 15:41 |
| lusum | hi, i have an hal problem with kubuntu: i cannot eject cd nor mount keys with kio and hal is running | 15:42 |
| bazhang | sudobash: unlikely, but please tell us if you succeed | 15:42 |
| lusum | distro: gutsy | 15:42 |
| sudobash | ok | 15:42 |
| TheNo1Yeti | sudobash for a single isp I know bridge-utils is what you need. For dual isps I honestly have nothing and that honestly sounds insane | 15:42 |
| thor | sudobash and how are you going to get the other end (wherever it is) to split the data into two streams addressed to two IPs? | 15:42 |
| sudobash | yeah true | 15:43 |
| TrioTorus | Update Manager gives me this: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 15:43 |
| TrioTorus | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. I tried that, but machine hangs. | 15:43 |
| cens0red | toodles it's harder than that, because I have to find some way to link them, as with this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122#head-b1eaf5e95be3998a41e9de3f88cfc809648ba15c | 15:43 |
| sudobash | you would need and app the utilizes both Bandwidths seperatly | 15:43 |
| toodles | cens0red: try /dev/bus/usb | 15:44 |
| cens0red | toodles ty. | 15:45 |
| TheNo1Yeti | sudobash: the problem with what you are wanting to do is this. You would have two different ip addresses requesting the same information. Therefore the receiving end would be handling two requests and therefore giving two sets of data. You would ultimately not experience a bandwidth increase because each nic would be receiving the same amount of data (ie a full download) and would then have to somehow figure out how to merge all that informa | 15:45 |

| komputes | Can someone tell me how to archive two files in RAR (COMMAND LINE) | 15:57 |
| toodles | Calibre: In this case the file should only contain a single line - if it does, it's ok to paste it here (as it obviously doesn't use more space than !paste) | 15:57 |
| kitofhawaii | adaminla: double-click-drag the bar where you want it | 15:57 |

| komputes | RAR is the compression tool to compress in RAR form the command line | 15:59 |
| bazhang | !rar | 15:59 |
| ubotu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 15:59 |
| adaminla | nothing happens when I try to drag it. | 15:59 |
| vb | why is no one helping me :( | 15:59 |

| guillaume__ | weird problem | 16:02 |

| Ax3 | you'll clearly see in the documentation that: Usage: rar <command> -<switch 1> -<switch N> <archive> <files...> <@listfiles...> <path_to_extract\> | 16:03 |
| kitofhawaii | Truckdriver: truckdriver: just add "-r" switch to grab all the subdir's | 16:03 |
| gordonjcp | guillaume__: what exactly is the error that you're getting? | 16:03 |
| guillaume__ | I dont get any error | 16:03 |
| gordonjcp | Calibre: it's probably on their IRC server | 16:03 |
| guillaume__ | Firefox is waiting | 16:03 |

| gordonjcp | guillaume__: it's either broken or very slow for me, too | 16:04 |
| guillaume__ | other machine on the same local network | 16:04 |
| lusepuster | Ax3, no need to be rude | 16:04 |
| galdar\linux | Kinda need to configuere so it says a sound when people writes | 16:04 |
| guillaume__ | Very fast on other machine | 16:04 |
| gordonjcp | guillaume__: looks like the server isn't serving | 16:04 |
| guillaume__ | but why it pingÉ | 16:04 |
| guillaume__ | ? | 16:04 |
| galdar\linux | and maybe a pop when people are login on... | 16:04 |
| kitofhawaii | Ax3: you should love them. great consultants know how to use a help file, customers don't :) | 16:04 |
| Ax3 | lusepuster, im far from being rude, unless we hail from completely different cultural backgrounds... | 16:04 |
| guillaume__ | I've diabled Ipv6 in firefox | 16:05 |
| Ax3 | the man pages are the repository of all human knowledge | 16:05 |
| gordonjcp | guillaume__: just because it can respond to ping, doesn't mean it's actually running an http server ;-) | 16:05 |
| guillaume__ | changed tcp window scaling to 0 | 16:05 |
| Ax3 | kitofhawaii, agreed | 16:05 |
| adaminla | No. When I try to drag nothing happens. Also right click does not bring up configure. | 16:05 |
| guillaume__ | but why windows or mac can acces it | 16:05 |
| gordonjcp | guillaume__: mac can't access that server, either | 16:06 |
| TheNo1Yeti | http://xkcd.com/294/ <--- What happens when you don't rtfm | 16:06 |
| guillaume__ | realy? | 16:06 |
| guillaume__ | not a lot of people is having this trouble | 16:06 |
| TheNo1Yeti | whoops, wrong one | 16:06 |
| gordonjcp | guillaume__: not from here... | 16:06 |
| Ax3 | kitofhawaii, this place should really be stop number 3 for people, 1) man pages 2) ubuntuforums.org or google 3) #ubuntu heh | 16:06 |
| guillaume__ | i have google analytic on this web site | 16:06 |
| gordonjcp | guillaume__: I suspect you've got dodgy routing somewhere | 16:06 |
| guillaume__ | and on windows machin can access the stats | 16:06 |
| bazhang | Ax3: stop four imo; first should be teh google | 16:07 |
| guillaume__ | dodgy? | 16:07 |
| TheNo1Yeti | http://xkcd.com/293/ = read the man pages | 16:07 |
| Ax3 | bazhang, well you get the general idea ^^ | 16:07 |
| komputes | Ax3: Ithink the issue was that I was doing rar -a instead of simply rar a | 16:07 |
| bazhang | Ax3: yup :} | 16:07 |
| Ax3 | komputes, yea rar would have shown you that... lol ^^ | 16:08 |
| guillaume__ | what does it mean dodgy? | 16:09 |
| Ax3 | bouncy? | 16:09 |
| bazhang | guillaume__: it means somewhat troublesome | 16:09 |
| Ax3 | lol yea "not good" | 16:09 |
| guillaume__ | anyone with windows here can access www.arxtechcanada.com | 16:09 |
| guillaume__ | or www.ceradyna.com | 16:09 |
| kitofhawaii | komputes: yah a lot of the older commands have some interesting command lines...but Ax3 has a point, man pages are the best places (though the rar man isn't all that good in my opinion) | 16:09 |
| komputes | kitofhawaii: Ax3: yeah, I spend 30 minutes on man page before coming here, but thanks for the help | 16:10 |
| Ax3 | OPTIONS | 16:10 |
| Ax3 | After the program name comes a command and then optional switches with dashes | 16:10 |
| Ax3 | before them. | 16:10 |
| Ax3 | lol it's cleary there, that's all im saying :p | 16:10 |
| pegger | it is possible to make script start running once someone logs in, say in the .profile? | 16:11 |
| erUSUL | pegger: yes why not? | 16:11 |
| YeagerRobber_ | Anyone know how to enable menubar and hide join/quits in LostiRC? | 16:11 |
| komputes | kitofhawaii: I know tar is recommended over RAR, but it's just for compatibility/standardization | 16:11 |
| kitofhawaii | Ax3: true, but with rar you don't use dashes for the major op's :) | 16:11 |
| pegger | erUSUL: you fimilar with the script command, I want it to start running once a user logs in, I am not tyring to do somethign evil, it is just a contractor I want to see how the install is done | 16:13 |
| adaminla | lusepester. no it does not react at all. | 16:13 |
| OdinCheLOVEk1 | fg | 16:14 |
| Ax3 | kitofhawaii, major ops are in this case called commands, so the docs are correct, you don't need dashes correct, only for additional options | 16:14 |
| anoneknewmoose | does anybody know how to disable spell check in pidgin? it's driving me nuts, and no one on the forum answered | 16:14 |

| ray_ | kit o ok | 16:20 |
| kitofhawaii | ray_: in windows, i know right click repair, but that basically flushes the information and reconnects. it sounds like you have a worse issue | 16:20 |
| ray_ | kit you know how to repair the tcp/ip in ubuntu | 16:20 |
| niq | and "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/vmware-player_1.0.2-2_i386.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 10" | 16:20 |

| ray_ | zh some how its getting a other ip other than my routor one | 16:25 |
| Zhaozhou | ray_, if the tcp/ip-stack really is corrupt, which i've never seen before, then the only solution i can see is a new kernel. | 16:25 |
| ray_ | see that now | 16:25 |
| anoneknewmoose | optyx: oh duh, can't believe I didn't see that. Thank you!! | 16:25 |

| kitofhawaii | ray_: if you ping 172.0.0.1 does that work? | 16:25 |
| kitofhawaii | ray_: to get a new address, it's "sudo dhclient <interface>" | 16:26 |
| Zhaozhou | ray_, Depends on what you want to flush. | 16:26 |
| kitofhawaii | ray_: that'd give you verbose info what's not working | 16:26 |

| femmebot | anyone? someone? :D | 16:29 |
| Zhaozhou | ray_, dhclient <interface> will give you a new ip, if thats what you are looking for | 16:29 |
| kitofhawaii | ray_: did you configure a static ip address on your computer? | 16:29 |
| ray_ | no | 16:29 |
| Zhaozhou | ray_, that will probe for a DHCP-server, a.k.a. your router. | 16:29 |
| fredl | erUSUL, also when I select the MP3 profile for editting, I can edit it, it has the 'active' checkmark etc. | 16:29 |

| erUSUL | fredl: my gnome is in spanish and it says raughly Cd quality,audio MP3 etc | 16:29 |
| ray_ | zh | 16:29 |
| kitofhawaii | ray_: "dhclient <interface>" then come back here with any errors/messages that come up | 16:30 |
| Zhaozhou | ray_, dhclient <interface>, interface is probably eth0, you can check that with ifconfig. | 16:30 |

| Zhaozhou | ray_, look, run ifconfig first, eth0 will probably be the interface pointing out to the internet. If so, run dhclient eth0, then report back. | 16:32 |
| fredl | when I start up gnome-audio-profile-properties there's a profile called 'CD quality, MP3'. That profile does not show up in sound juicer's output formats, how do I fix that? | 16:32 |
| NET||abuse | kitofhawaii, on my account preferences i set it to upload sent items to the inbox->sent items under the imap account for that email account | 16:32 |
| NET||abuse | the very next mail appears just fine in sent items there from the same account | 16:32 |

| pike_ | jerdude98: you can use wine which is basiaclly an open source version of the windows api but you have to keep in mind you are running a win app on linux so it may just work or may not | 17:30 |

| Dr_willis | GIMP22, create? You mean the console? use alt-ctrl-F1-throgh f6 | 17:40 |

| rlanham | xybre: will it just not work this way? | 17:40 |
| Carl | I put in the 128 hex key but still show no wireless extensions | 17:41 |

| kitofhawaii | Carl: you know definitely you're using 128 hex? | 17:41 |
| pike_ | !easysource| jurgentje | 17:41 |
| ubotu | jurgentje: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic | 17:41 |
| rampage73 | tomd123, it is called macchanger | 17:41 |
| hvgotcodes | void^ so I shouldnt be worried over it? | 17:41 |
| xybre | rlanham: I dont know what you're trying to do, so I can't really help :( | 17:41 |
| GIMP22 | right, well my problem is that I am running a process in a console but need to switch to another console to run another process. So Alt+Ctrl+F[1..6] will do this? | 17:41 |
| pike_ | jurgentje: basically goto that site generate a new list and then gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and paste that in there save and sudo apt-get update | 17:42 |

| kitofhawaii | Carl: i'd log onto the router if you could and get the key verbatim from there (for the hex key) just to be sure | 17:42 |

| inzeo | comicinker: there isn't a "sources" entry - i'm sure this is because I had removed evolution, i will re-install and then see what pops up in there, hold on a moment | 17:53 |
| DaSkreech | pike_: I dunno they are the same files in System32 but they have the last char in the name replaced by _ | 17:53 |

| saqib | hello | 17:55 |
| DaSkreech | though it is a good road to a solution | 17:55 |

| wols_ | rgnr: do you have a router? | 18:00 |
| inzeo | comicinker: actually, i just started evolution, and there are now sources entries in calendar | 18:00 |
| bulmer | maxsoft2-> i said its possible, man ip | 18:00 |
| sethk | maxsoft2, you can create eth0:1 | 18:00 |
| kitofhawaii | DaSkreech: aloha :) | 18:00 |
| wols_ | rgnr: unless you made one run, there isn't. man iptables | 18:00 |
| rgnr | wols_: yep did all the forwarding | 18:00 |
| sethk | maxsoft2, that will be the same physical device with an alias address | 18:00 |
| maxsoft2 | ? | 18:00 |
| maxsoft2 | perfect | 18:00 |
| comicinker | inzeo: intresting | 18:00 |
| sethk | maxsoft2, use ifconfig, but with eth0:1 | 18:00 |
| bulmer | sethk-> they have to be in same domain..so ifconfig will not work i think..he has to use ip | 18:01 |
| rgnr | wols_: man iptables? 'ts that? | 18:01 |
| fredl | Hmm, am I invisible or is figuring out why a bloody CD ripper won't write mp3's the most difficult thing in the world? | 18:01 |
| sethk | bulmer, ifconfig is the way you use ip | 18:01 |
| bulmer | sethk-> ip is more advance than ifconfig | 18:01 |
| soundray | sethk: should he end up with a eth0 and a eth0:1, or with eth0:0 and eth0:1 ? | 18:01 |
| inzeo | comicinker: okay, so i added just my gmail account, and once again it crashes when going into calendar; so what entries should i adjust in gconf? | 18:01 |
| sethk | soundray, eth0, and eth0:1 | 18:01 |

| soundray | sethk: thanks | 18:02 |
| bazhang | fredl: see above | 18:02 |
| sethk | bulmer, that is entirely irrelevant. In fact, in this case, he should use ifconfig _because_ it is simpler and it does what he needs | 18:02 |
| comicinker | inzeo: did you alway restarted the gconf-editor? | 18:02 |
| wols_ | !iptables | 18:02 |
| 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). | 18:02 |
| fredl | thanks bazhang | 18:02 |
| inzeo | comicinker: yeah, gconf-editor is now open | 18:02 |
| bazhang | is there a command !rip? | 18:03 |
| bulmer | sethk it is not irrelevant, using ip instead of ifconfig gives him extra stuff not available in ifconfig | 18:03 |
| sethk | bulmer, he doesn't need the extra stuff. therefore he's better off with ifconfig | 18:03 |
| rgnr | wols_: is it turned on by default? | 18:03 |
| sethk | you should always use the simplest tool that gets the job done | 18:03 |

| inzeo | bazhang: no, its dealing with evolution - the "sources" entry under /apps/evolution/calendar in gconf-editor | 18:09 |
| PirateHead | Is there a way to run a Bash command from within PHP and get the returned text? | 18:09 |
| gordonjcp | soundray: the basic premise of the experiment was "will a CD-ROM support 1700kg of car" and, over the course of the afternoon, the answer turned out to be "not really" | 18:09 |
| gordonjcp | PirateHead: exec() | 18:09 |
| arsirc | hi @all | 18:09 |
| inzeo | ajmal: you don't have to type anything in Alias; i believe what you type in Alias would be what appears on your buddy list - so if their screen name is screenamewoohoo, if you typed My Friend in alias, "My Friend" would appear on your buddy list | 18:10 |
| PirateHead | gordonjcp: exec() returns a string? | 18:10 |
| rlanham | sethk: so wouldn't a mount permission issue be fstab? | 18:10 |
| gordonjcp | PirateHead: rtfm ;-) | 18:10 |
| matt__ | ? | 18:10 |
| sethk | rlanham, mount options can be specified in fstab or on the command line. | 18:10 |
| rlanham | sethk: I can tell you that all the files are marked via my account rlanham:root with very minimal permissions. Even as root i cant chmod / chown them. | 18:10 |
| PirateHead | gordonjcp: Thanks. :-) | 18:11 |
| arsirc | i have installed ubuntu desktop 7.10 and want to access it with ssh ... have inserted AllowUser [username] in /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 18:11 |
| gordonjcp | rlanham: it's possible your filesystem is mounted read-only | 18:11 |
| weyer | does anybody know where to change standard keybindings of multimeida keys? i have my play/pause/stop bound to rhytmbox, but i'd like to have them bound to gmpc ... | 18:11 |
| gordonjcp | PirateHead: you've got something to go google on now... | 18:11 |
| ajmal | inzeo.it shows in budy list and written there not on server list | 18:11 |
| arsirc | if i want to start /etc/ssh i get the error: bad configuration option: AllowUser, why? | 18:11 |
| Locksm | ok seems not, well Question : I got this BCM4306(Rev 03) wifi miniPCI device in my laptop, and i'm trying to get it to work, so far i think ive been unsuccessfull, be advised im kinda new to linux // Ubunto, so your dealing with a rookie who have a dark desire to learn ubunto ! | 18:11 |
| rlanham | gordonjcp: how do I check that? | 18:11 |
| arsirc | i mean /etc/init.d/ssh | 18:11 |
| crdlb | weyer: does gmpc have media key support? I know sonata does (another mpd client) | 18:12 |
| arsirc | musst this user defined for the ssh group in /etc/group ? | 18:12 |
| kitofhawaii | Locksm: wifi devices with revisions are notoriously difficult to work with, so i sympathize | 18:12 |
| Locksm | atm though ive figured out i had 43 files to update, so the synaptic proggie is doing it atm, installing variouse packages | 18:12 |
| ambro85 | kitofhawaii: | 18:12 |
| gordonjcp | rlanham: mount | 18:12 |
| weyer | crdlb: i guess, because it complains the keys are bound to another application | 18:12 |
| comicinker | inzeo: did you receive my private message? | 18:13 |
| Locksm | sigh, i feel it kit. i just hope someone have the cunning skills to maybe help me :D | 18:13 |
| inzeo | comicinker: yes i did | 18:13 |
| crdlb | weyer: there shouldn't be a problem unless rhythmbox is actually running | 18:13 |

| Locksm | i got an Acer Ferrari 3200 | 18:15 |
| kitofhawaii | Locksm: i'm reading most people use ndiswrapper for that card | 18:15 |
| Locksm | if that gives you something to work with | 18:15 |
| sethk | rlanham, do what I suggested in the PM window | 18:15 |
| Locksm | uhm... | 18:15 |
| weyer | crdlb: ah found it, it complained because they were set in the general gnome settings tab | 18:15 |
| inzeo | comicinker: i'm at my google calendar, but i'm not sure where to look now | 18:15 |
| gordonjcp | rlanham: hm, that is read-write, but I don't have any vfat drives so I can't really guess what to suggest next... | 18:16 |
| kitofhawaii | Locksm:i'm getting there :) | 18:16 |
| Locksm | from the synaptic app ? | 18:16 |
| arnath | i have ubuntu gutsy on a thinkpad laptop, and it works perfectly except for one thing -> i do not have multiple em "viewports" (ctrl+alt+F1-F2-...) | 18:16 |
| arnath | if i try to switch, the laptop just up & dies | 18:16 |
| pike_ | arnath: using frambuffer? | 18:17 |
| rlanham | sethk: I never got your PM, please try again | 18:17 |
| kitofhawaii | Locksm: yah, do a search for ndiswrapper, and grab all that are available | 18:17 |
| arnath | pike_: what's that? | 18:17 |
| kitofhawaii | lockm: from synaptic | 18:17 |
| dev_taral | I want to know about Ubuntu 7.10 version .. is that version is stable? | 18:17 |
| pike_ | arnath: basically you just have the default install and havent changed anything in menu.lst manually right? | 18:17 |
| arnath | pike_: indeed | 18:17 |
| arnath | pike_: i have some other problems actually, but they are all related to having everything (except /boot) on LVM | 18:18 |
| kitofhawaii | Locksm: you'll need a copy of the windows driver, i see windows 2000 driver for that card works well (you need the driver folder with the .inf file in it) | 18:18 |
| arnath | pike_: like, i can't go into sleepmode etc, but that matters little at this time | 18:18 |
| comicinker | inzeo: when you admistrate your calendar on google, go on calendar details | 18:18 |
| fusspils | I ran apt-get upgrade today and installed some new compiz packages and now I cant get any special effects to work? I have tried to remove all compiz items and re-install but with no luck | 18:18 |
| DPic13 | how do i change the ownership of a director and all of it's contents??? | 18:18 |
| DPic13 | directory* | 18:18 |
| sethk | rlanham, you opened a window to me, and you typed in it, and I answered. Go back to that window | 18:18 |
| comicinker | inzeo: there is a section called private url | 18:18 |
| Locksm | kit: mind if i contact you in priv msg ? | 18:18 |
| arnath | DPic13: chown user:groep directory | 18:18 |
| kitofhawaii | Locksm: go ahead :) | 18:19 |
| arnath | DPic13: for all its contents as well -> chown -R user:groep dir | 18:19 |
| inzeo | comicinker: okay, i think i found it | 18:19 |
| pike_ | arnath: you might reboot hiting esc alot until you see the grub boot menu then hit e to edit the first entry then scroll to kernel line and hit e then at the end of that line remove the 'splash' then hit enter an then b to boot that way you can see if there are any errors when its booting the settings wont stay they revert back as soon as you reboot | 18:19 |
| Locksm | if i have to speed between firefox and irc i get lost i think | 18:19 |
| DPic13 | thanks! | 18:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DPic13: may we ask what directory you want to change? | 18:19 |
| MasterShrek_ | fusspils: tried removing your user's compiz settings? | 18:19 |
| kitofhawaii | fusspills: go to room compiz-fusion they have the best answers | 18:19 |
| fusspils | MasterShrek_ how do I do that please? | 18:19 |
| arnath | pike_: i already booted without the splash, nothing that could cause this seemed to pop up | 18:20 |
| comicinker | inzeo: I forgot: replace simdesk with your computers name, of course | 18:20 |
| fusspils | kitofhawaii...thanx I didnt know about that room | 18:20 |
| inzeo | comicinker: ok, and what about the 123.456? | 18:20 |
| arnath | pike_: also, not sure if this is directly related, the problem extends to vmware versions of linux i have running on the laptop | 18:20 |
| comicinker | inzeo: it is a folder in .evolution/calendar | 18:20 |
| MasterShrek_ | fusspils: i would look for folders resembling .compiz in your user's home directory, they will be hidden so you need to do ls -a in a terminal to see them, id remove them then try again | 18:20 |
| comicinker | do you have some folders there? | 18:20 |
| inzeo | comicinker: config, local, and views | 18:21 |

| mojo | I have been having a problem with my computer maxing out it's load and slowing to a very painful crawl. I am getting good at ALT-SYSRQ R-E-I-S-U-B. This was happening on Feisty, and is happening on my fresh install (not upgrade) to Gutsy ubuntu-studio. I am not sure how to determine what is causing it. I have tried htop in a terminal when I have managed to get one open, but don't know how to use it for this problem. I suspect firefox | 18:23 |
| mojo | with Java pages (using sun-java6-jre version 6-03-0ubuntu2). I don't know what "name" to pass update-alternatives to be sure it's the selected one, though. Any ideas? | 18:23 |

| mojo | And 1Gb RAM | 18:25 |
| MasterShrek_ | mojo: everything seems in order before you log in? like its fast and all before it gets to the desktop? | 18:25 |
| gpled | does 7.10 have a desktop for powerpc? | 18:26 |
| inzeo | comicinker: also, if I run ubuntu from the live-cd, the problem doesn't occur when i add accounts to evolution | 18:26 |
| MasterShrek_ | gpled: i think so | 18:26 |
| MasterShrek_ | !ppc | 18:26 |
| ubotu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 18:26 |
| mojo | MasterShrek, yeah, it runs fine at first. I suspec ffox but I also have it open all the time. I *think* it happens more often when I load pages with java, but then am not really sure it's ffox. Would like to know how to find the culprit with some tool, like htop or some such. | 18:27 |
| comicinker | inzeo: thats nasty. maybe you shold try reseting all evolution settings (but keep backups) | 18:27 |
| gpled | thanks | 18:27 |
| === _llnk is now known as llnk | ||
| inzeo | comicinker: how would i try resetting all evolution settings? i have completely removed evolution (sudo apt-get remove) as well as deleting ~/.evolution and ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/ | 18:28 |
| MasterShrek_ | mojo: run top on tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1) or something and start firefox on your desktop (ctrl+alt+f7) when it starts to dog, switch to tty1 again and watch there maybe | 18:29 |

| temujin | question: latest version of ubuntu, playing anything but mkv files works perfectly, but mkv files have very choppy playback. CPU usage is same (10-20 percent) on mkv or avi or mpg files. Totem is what i am using to play it. Any ideas? | 18:56 |
| FluxD | soundray: ty | 18:56 |
| soundray | captine: you've probably had an unclean shutdown. Run ntfsfix on them or mount them in Windows once. | 18:57 |
| Megaqwerty | fulhack: those are probably sites that offer background checks for businesses (thus the reason for the charge) | 18:57 |

| FluxD | imitation: will it run on ubuntu 7.10 or kde4 only? | 18:58 |
| MasterShrek_ | FluxD: it will run on 7.10 | 18:59 |
| imitation | FluxD: it runs on kde3 and any other environment as long as youe got qt4 installed | 18:59 |
| temujin | no one? | 18:59 |
| FluxD | what makes it "special" ? | 18:59 |
| temujin | anyone? | 19:00 |
| kitofhawaii | FluxD: while it may work, i'd be careful (my experience with KDE4 apps in gnome's been seriously buggy) | 19:00 |
| FluxD | I am gonna try thunar and krusader first | 19:00 |
| unskilled | hi guys! can you tell me how to disable nvidia-drivers from root-shell? i enabled them and now gnome only shows a black display :( | 19:00 |
| imitation | FluxD: itś supposed to be optimized for file management and simple to use | 19:00 |
| tomd123 | I second kitofhawaii | 19:00 |
| Locksm | test | 19:00 |
| MasterShrek_ | unskilled: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 19:01 |
| MasterShrek_ | unskilled: oh, DISABLE | 19:01 |
| atlef | !best | 19:01 |
| soundray | Locksm: that hasn't worked well, you're coming through faintly. Strike your keys harder. | 19:01 |
| ubotu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. | 19:01 |
| chazco | Anyone know the best virtual machine for running WinXP/Vista inside Ubuntu? (speed, easy of install, "compatibility", GUI etc) | 19:01 |
| unskilled | yeah, disable :( | 19:01 |
| MasterShrek_ | unskilled: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the video driver to vesa (should be nvidia or nv right now) | 19:01 |
| FluxD | chazco: personal prefernce but virtual box looks good | 19:02 |
| imitation | chazco, i'm using vmware server since virtualBox was a bit buggy for me | 19:02 |
| unskilled | great.. vesa was the key i was searching for, thanks ;) | 19:02 |
| kitofhawaii | chazco: vmware server definitely | 19:02 |
| chazco | Is vmware server free? | 19:03 |
| MasterShrek_ | chazco: i prefer virtualbox to vmware | 19:03 |
| dravine | http://rafb.net/p/MUqADY19.html | 19:03 |
| kitofhawaii | chazco: yes, it's free | 19:03 |
| chazco | Ah... some room for debate here i guess :D | 19:03 |
| MasterShrek_ | yes chazco vmware-server is free | 19:03 |
| soundray | chazco: free as in beer only | 19:03 |
| dravine | having big issues with gnome-open | 19:03 |
| kitofhawaii | always room for debate :) | 19:03 |
| soundray | chazco: highly proprietary, though | 19:03 |
| chazco | Not too bothered about open source, but price is kind of problematic | 19:03 |
| MasterShrek_ | chazco: both are free to use | 19:04 |
| chazco | hmm... sounds good... which is easiest to setup? | 19:04 |
| Locksm | test | 19:04 |
| MasterShrek_ | failed | 19:04 |
| soundray | Locksm: failed | 19:04 |
| Locksm | hehe | 19:04 |
| Locksm | ok | 19:04 |
| chazco | Wouldnt need it but my Ubuntu has internet issues :( | 19:04 |
| kitofhawaii | Locksm: lol issues? | 19:04 |
| Locksm | nvm | 19:04 |
| Locksm | net mocking me i think | 19:05 |
| MasterShrek_ | chazco: ive heard of both having problems installing, i havent used vmware server since its been in the repos though | 19:05 |
| kitofhawaii | Locksm: personally i'd dump wicd and stick with network manager if you're using wep | 19:05 |
| chazco | Its in the apt? Not seen it | 19:05 |
| kitofhawaii | Locksm: wicd on my computer always froze | 19:05 |
| Locksm | ok | 19:06 |

| Locksm | how do i dump it and get the old to show on my task bar | 19:06 |
| dravine | no urls will work | 19:06 |
| chazco | Can only find virtualbox in the repos... will try that first, if its not suitable will try vmware. Thanks all :) | 19:06 |
| MasterShrek_ | dravine: wtf is gnome-open? | 19:06 |
| temujin | repeating question: latest version of ubuntu, playing anything but mkv files works perfectly, but mkv files have very choppy playback. CPU usage is same (10-20 percent) on mkv or avi or mpg files. Totem is what i am using to play it. Any ideas? | 19:06 |
| soundray | dravine: gnome-open is for files | 19:06 |
| nclife | where can I see my DDR RAM specifications? | 19:06 |
| dravine | no it isn't | 19:06 |
| kitofhawaii | chazco: do you have all your repo's checked? | 19:06 |
| chazco | Yep | 19:06 |
| dravine | it's the file wrapper that gnome calls when you click a link | 19:06 |
| MasterShrek_ | chazco: make sure you install the modules packages for it too | 19:06 |
| dravine | in say, evolution, or gaim | 19:06 |
| temujin | nclife: get sysinfo ... it tells you all the info about your hardware | 19:07 |
| MasterShrek_ | nclife: cat /proc/meminfo | 19:07 |
| chazco | modules for which? | 19:07 |
| MasterShrek_ | for vbox | 19:07 |
| MasterShrek_ | youll see it | 19:07 |
| chazco | Ah ok... does vmware need them either? | 19:07 |
| chazco | Hopefully it'll be done automagically | 19:07 |
| soundray | dravine: yes it is. But your command does work here for URLs too | 19:07 |
| MasterShrek_ | yea vmware creates its own iirc | 19:07 |
| dravine | yeah, hence my problem | 19:07 |
| dravine | it's supposed to work | 19:07 |
| dravine | and doesn't | 19:07 |
| TheDoctor2 | hello, I need help | 19:08 |
| TheDoctor2 | I need to sync my Palm Lifedrive with evolution | 19:08 |
| dravine | soundray, anytime you click a link in a gnome app, gnome-open decides what file gets to handle it | 19:08 |
| dravine | I know what it is and what it's supposed to do | 19:08 |
| Locksm | kit | 19:08 |
| dravine | but it's hosed, and reinstalling the packages didn't fixs | 19:08 |
| chazco | Speaking of which... how can i assosiate .rm/.ram files with the command realplay and assign an icon to them? | 19:08 |
| dravine | so I'm looking for suggestions | 19:08 |
| kitofhawaii | Locksm: yes? | 19:08 |
| Nameless_one | hello | 19:08 |
| soundray | dravine: try as another user | 19:08 |
| nclife | temujin, MasterShrek, thx. And to know what kind of ddr ram it is? | 19:08 |
| Nameless_one | I have a question | 19:08 |
| TheDoctor2 | ?anyoen | 19:09 |
| kitofhawaii | Locksm: did you get it back in? (network-manager) | 19:09 |
| Nameless_one | I am trying to compile glipper from source, because there is a bug in it and I am trying to trace it | 19:09 |
| dravine | works as another user | 19:09 |
| dravine | corrupted gconf perhaps? | 19:09 |
| MasterShrek_ | Nameless_one: what configure options are you using? | 19:09 |
| soundray | dravine: perhaps | 19:09 |
| Nameless_one | none, the README says to just run ./configure | 19:09 |
| dravine | any tools to fix gconf? | 19:10 |
| Nameless_one | the problem is this: | 19:10 |
| Nameless_one | No package 'glib-2.0' found | 19:10 |
| Nameless_one | No package 'gtk+-2.0' found | 19:10 |
| Nameless_one | No package 'libglade-2.0' found | 19:10 |
| Nameless_one | No package 'libgnome-2.0' found | 19:10 |
| Nameless_one | this is the error message I get | 19:10 |
| soundray | dravine: have you done lots of customization? | 19:10 |
| dravine | nope | 19:10 |
| TheDoctor2 | Does anyknow how to get a lifedrive to sync thwi evolution | 19:10 |
| MasterShrek_ | Nameless_one: install the -dev packages of those packages from apt | 19:10 |
| dravine | I'd rather not blow the account away and recreate it though if that's what your suggesting | 19:10 |
| Nameless_one | oh | 19:10 |
| Nameless_one | hm | 19:11 |
| henrymiller_ | hello | 19:11 |
| soundray | dravine: not the account, but maybe ~/.gconf* | 19:11 |
| dravine | yeah? | 19:11 |
| dravine | I'll give it a shot | 19:11 |
| MasterShrek_ | Nameless_one: from what ive gathered anytime you need something as a dependency to compile something, you need the -dev package of it | 19:11 |

| soundray | profanephobia: is that what you want, though? | 19:15 |
| profanephobia | soundray, will this stop dhcp-client from running at boot? | 19:16 |

| TheDoctor2 | I checkedthe fourms, unless you have a good link to help me. But I would apprisate help | 19:17 |

| aladdinsane | can anyone give me a tip of an application which can play real media rtsp streams, i dont wanna use realplayer or helix since i cant change the sound driver on those, and mplayer as far as i can tell cant play it either, im greatful for suggestions | 19:19 |
| MasterShrek_ | aladdinsane: vlc? | 19:19 |
| VSpike | Iggz: which flash are you using? | 19:19 |
| aladdinsane | nope | 19:19 |
| soundray | profanephobia: okay, that will work. If you want the interface to go up, you should leave the auto line alone and configure a static address instead. | 19:20 |
| MasterShrek_ | core64: its the url that is passed to it | 19:20 |
| aladdinsane | MasterShrek_ at: i meant real media rtsp video streams, which vlc cant play | 19:20 |

Looked into fbdev but it seems to be an xserver driver for the kernel framebuffer. I'm using the "ati" driver in xorg. But anyway I don't care about setting on tty7 I am trying to work with tty1.

| mojo | TheDoctor2, reading back thru the channel i think the idea is that there is a daemon that automatically assignes a device name to the lifedrive when you plug it in (hot-plug daemon or some such), and it may be giving it a different device name each time? i think the person who suggested you looking at the tail -f was wanting to see if it gave different results on different insertions.

| ubotu | yoblin: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

| bert | I'm running a virtual server in virtualbox and I want it to have an own IP adres in our DHCP network | 19:36 |
| soundray | yoblin: normally /lib/modules/$(uname -r) is essential as well. Didn't you use a ubuntu or debian method to compile? That would give you a .deb in /usr/src | 19:36 |

| w00boot | i recently made the switch from windows to xubuntu and i need a bit of help | 19:40 |
| w00boot | metacity doesnt start on login, so i have to start it manually | 19:41 |
| xybre | w00boot: wassap? | 19:41 |
| w00boot | and when i do i get a lot of errors | 19:41 |
| mojo | TheDoctor2, I use thunderbird with lighning, not evolution. You say that Evolution supports sync to Palm, but not Lifedrive specifically? Do you know if there are any differences between the communications protocols for Lifedrive syncs versus regular Palms? Does it sync as a Palm on other software (likely: windows) so far as you know, or do those programs have a separate option for LifeDrive. I see that Palm has hotsync software for Li | 19:41 |
| mojo | feDrive on Windows and Mac OSX but not Linux. I would suggest trying their Windows software via Wine but I doubt it would know how to sync to Evolution, LOL. | 19:41 |
| pidus | <Sopor>u use yahoo messenger? | 19:41 |
| Sopor | pidus, nope. I'm french, and it's not very famous here. | 19:42 |

| luciddr34m3r | I'm having some problems with my wireless card. I have a driver loaded and it's recognized, but I cant find any wireless networks (even though I'm sitting by my AP). My friend's laptop is the same as as mine, same hardware, and hes running the same driver and ubuntu version as me, and he can see all the AP's. Any advice? | 19:42 |
| w00boot | well, another question | 19:42 |
| soundray | knoppix_: don't do this please | 19:42 |
| pidus | <Sopor>what is famous there? | 19:42 |

| Sopor | pidus, MSN messenger protocol.. You know @hotmail @msn.. | 19:43 |
| w00boot | when i log in all the title bars of windows are missing, the bar with the minimize and maximize buttons. how do i recover these? | 19:43 |
| soundray | narothepharoh: okay, tell me what you are doing. | 19:43 |
| pidus | <Sopor>yes | 19:43 |
| MasterShrek_ | luciddr34m3r: do you have firmware for it? | 19:43 |
| pidus | <Sopor>i need msn messenger too for ubuntu | 19:43 |
| matttis | pike_: is it also the ttf format for fonts under linux ? | 19:43 |
| Sopor | pidus, are your friends are on Yahoo or msn ? | 19:44 |
| MasterShrek_ | luciddr34m3r: better yet, what kinda card is it/ | 19:44 |
| soundray | w00boot: something is wrong with your window manager. Try logging in as another user. | 19:44 |
| xiven | Hey | 19:44 |
| xiven | Anyone in here use Clearwire with their Ubuntu? | 19:44 |
| pidus | <Sopor>some in yahoo and some in msn | 19:44 |
| w00boot | ok, ill try that. thanks for th suggestion. | 19:44 |
| Sopor | pidus, msn messenger, you have pidgin ( yes, again ), but it's not the one i use. I use " emesene " A python/GTK client. Faster, more stable. | 19:44 |
| narothepharoh | soundray: i am trying to open tar.gz files to run them but i just cant | 19:44 |
| mojo | TheDoctor2, here is a Gentoo-centric article, but Gentoo help is usually pretty detailed. Looks like you need to have a usbserial, visor, and sm_mod.ko modules loaded in the kernel. And you have to put the LifeDrive in "Drive Mode". The article gives hope that it CAN be done. | 19:45 |
| gigamonkey | I'm trying to do a system update and am getting a message about not being able to authenticate many of the packages. Any ideas why that would be. I've done system updates in the recent past without this problem. | 19:45 |

| [digit] | the gnome mouse settings dont have any relation to the xorg.conf file, do they? | 19:45 |
| Sopor | pidus, I can't help you for someones who are un yahoo | 19:45 |
| Sopor | pidus, apt-get install emesene ;) | 19:45 |
| luciddr34m3r | MasterShrek: it's a broadcom card, but its using an atheros communications driver, but my roomate is using the same combination and it works | 19:45 |
| soundray | narothepharoh: tar.gz files are compressed archives. You can't "run" them as such. | 19:45 |
| mojo | TheDoctor2, the link (sorry!) is... http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-365802.html?sid=a5eba500f87579cf7cbb55f9cdcadc03 | 19:45 |

| Cyrus25801 | just installed ubuntu 7.10 and my nvidia resricted drivers. but when i set the resolution higher that 800x600 then i need to scroll my desktop. can someone please help | 19:46 |
| musikgoat | how can i repair install ubuntu while saving my home directory on the same partition? should I move that off and scratch any remnants of the old version? | 19:46 |
| Sopor | newbie* | 19:46 |
| dravine | wow | 19:46 |
| dravine | soundray, check this out | 19:46 |
| pidus | <Sopor>yes | 19:46 |
| dravine | the problem isn't specifically scribes | 19:46 |
| narothepharoh | soundray: yes, when i extract it says to open with | 19:46 |
| [digit] | basically, my real question is, can i disable the use of gnome mouse settings | 19:46 |
| dravine | I set scribes to be the default application for .html documents in nautilus | 19:46 |
| [digit] | its messing up my quake 3 skills | 19:46 |
| dravine | well, it seems that it's basing it's decision on the mimetype | 19:46 |
| luciddr34m3r | it was loaded automatically. i know about 4 people with the same laptop, and the wireless card works out of the box, using the same driver as me | 19:46 |
| dravine | not the file extention | 19:46 |
| MasterShrek_ | musikgoat: delete everthing off it besides your /home directory and when yuo install make sure it doesnt formate it, just install over the top | 19:46 |
| MasterShrek_ | format* | 19:47 |
| dravine | so any mimetype that returns to gnome-open as Html | 19:47 |
| dravine | got opened with scribes | 19:47 |
| pike_ | [digit]: tried quake wars yet for linux? pretty nice | 19:47 |
| pidus | <Sopor>could not find emesene | 19:47 |
| dravine | then I upgraded to gutsy, and scribes was in the repo's | 19:47 |
| [digit] | nah, im addicted to quake 3 | 19:47 |
| dravine | so I removed the source install, and switched to the repo version | 19:47 |
| dravine | which is why gnome-open was freaking out | 19:47 |
| xiven | Who uses Clearwire Intenret? | 19:47 |
| musikgoat | but MasterShrek, when I tried that, the installer yelled at me saying it needed to format the partition that / resides | 19:47 |
| dravine | because it was linked to the source install in my home dir | 19:47 |
| mojo | TheDoctor2, here is a Ubuntu-Gutsy centric article http://bapoumba.wordpress.com/2007/09/21/palm-lifedrive-4go-and-ubuntu-gutsy/ | 19:47 |
| musikgoat | unless I missed something | 19:47 |
| MasterShrek_ | musikgoat: manually set your partitions | 19:48 |
| dravine | sooo | 19:48 |
| dravine | that was fun... | 19:48 |
| soundray | dravine: I see... so now you've fixed it? | 19:48 |
| [digit] | but gnome mouse has this acceleration crap, and i learned to play q3 on arch, which just used mouse settings from xorg.conf | 19:48 |
| dravine | yep | 19:48 |
| musikgoat | MasterShrek i did | 19:48 |
| soundray | dravine: well done | 19:48 |
| dravine | now it's fixed, and more importantly I understand what and why it was broke | 19:48 |
| luciddr34m3r | iwconfig lists my card, and its ready with driver installed, i just can't see any networks | 19:48 |
| MasterShrek_ | i dunno for sure then musikgoat, thats how ive always done it | 19:48 |
| w00boot | soundray: logging in as another user worked, the problem is gone | 19:48 |
| dravine | anyway, thought you'd like to know what was going on | 19:48 |
| musikgoat | MasterShrek I set / and swap, and did not check format, and got an error saying / needs to be formatted | 19:48 |
| dravine | not sure if it warrants a bug report | 19:48 |
| w00boot | how would i fix it for my current user? | 19:48 |
| dravine | but, it's some damn strange behavior | 19:49 |
| MasterShrek_ | musikgoat: what filesystem type is it? | 19:49 |
| musikgoat | MasterShrek reiserfs | 19:49 |
| Sopor | pidus, i'm talking on your mps ( : | 19:49 |

| danbhfive | can anyone explain how compiling a driver works? mainly, if I put one into my system, and it is the wrong one, what will happen, and how do I get rid of it? | 19:57 |
| luciddr34m3r | We are using the same kernel version. | 19:57 |
| mazen | no, not from the net... and I install the OS to other system today... and the disk is fine | 19:57 |
| arvin_ | sopor: what peripheric? | 19:57 |
| Sopor | arvin_, ALSA. | 19:58 |

| Sopor | Hum.. | 19:58 |
| MikeH | preferably tabbed | 19:58 |

| MasterShrek_ | danbhfive: most drivers aer included with the kernel, but if you were to install the wrong one, you sholdnt experience any problems because it wouldnt be loaded | 19:58 |
| miguillo | danbhfive: if you don't have a module for your specific kernel, it don't work, you have to compile one for your kernel | 19:59 |
| MasterShrek_ | danbhfive: what driver is it? | 19:59 |
| danbhfive | MikeH: have you tried gedit? I can't really recommend, but I use gedit, and it highlights | 19:59 |
| luciddr34m3r | When I ifconfig, ath0 shows up and wifi0 shows up as expected, enabled and up. iwconfig lists ath0 as my wireless interface, but an "iwlist scan" returns no results on ath0, and on wifi0 it says no wireless extensions enabled | 19:59 |

| narothepharoh | how do i open a .rpm file? | 20:06 |
| atlef | !rpm | 20:06 |
| ubotu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 20:06 |
| mojo | peter77, umm... I don't have your hardware, but I have an Audigy 2ZS with the external box (livedrive). The Audigy has a remote sensor, as well as a switch in the headphone jack and some buttons on the box that are all reported back through the midi device under /dev. LIRC can be set up for the Audigy to take input from the midi (serial) stream to use it's remote, and can thus be used to detect the headphone switch. That can be used wit | 20:06 |
| mojo | h a program or script to mute/unmute your external speakers, while leaving the headphone output voulme up. That is assuming it works anything like that at all. It really really depends on how (or even IF) the headphone jack insertion switch is reported back to Linux. | 20:06 |

It's been like that for hours, and seems to be stuck somehow. Is there anything I can do to unqueue/delete it? | 20:28 |

| boris | danbhfive : what ? | 20:29 |
| sutti2 | hey guys, Is there any way to play a windows media stream on linux? | 20:29 |
| tonyyarusso | mahrellon: I'm just thinking the keystrokes aren't really what you'd want - you just need to tie network traffic to a user really, unless you think they could pull off an "it just popped up" argument. | 20:29 |
| danbhfive | boris: are you sure you got the file correctly? | 20:29 |

| mahrellon | desertc: Yeah I know. Our router has parental control but somehow they always manage to work their way around it. That's why I need something like a keylogger so I can check if they actually have a way to find out the darn password I change every now and then hehe | 20:31 |
| desertc | mahrellon: A better solution would be spending more time with the children so you are more aware of their pasttimes. | 20:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Iggz: np.. welcome to ubuntu.. and no it isnt a silly question.. it is just different that windows | 20:32 |
| tonyyarusso | That too | 20:32 |
| mahrellon | desertc: Trust me m8. I do spend alot of time with them it's just that they come home from school alot earlier than I do from work. Give a couple of teen boys two hours in front of a computer and all hell can break loose lol | 20:32 |
| desertc | mahrellon: Using a keylogger is very close to reading someone's diary, in my opinion. You should make them aware you will be doing it before you install it. Otherwise, you may lose much face with them. | 20:32 |
| danbhfive | mahrellon: you should check out Christian Ubuntu, or whatever its called | 20:33 |

| tonyyarusso | Iggz: plugins for what specifically? | 20:33 |
| tonyyarusso | musikgoat: which plugin? | 20:34 |
| mahrellon | desertc: I know. The only information I'd like to get my hands on are sites and passwords related to that site etc. I wouldn't logon to read their mails or anything. Just so I can show them I do have access in case I would ever need it. | 20:34 |

| musikgoat | tonyyarusso: its a part of the purple plugin pack | 20:34 |
| mahrellon | desertc: And, I want to find out if they know the new password to our router. I've been changing it like crazy and yet they manage to work their way around the parental control. | 20:34 |
| musikgoat | tonyyarusso: I want to get rid of the annoying join/part lines :-) | 20:35 |
| desertc | mahrellon: I have no idea how parents keep their kids away from pr0n. It's everywhere. But it hardly seems like a reason to stop having an honest relationship with your kids. | 20:35 |
| tonyyarusso | musikgoat: pidgin-plugin-pack | 20:35 |
| rbs-tito | mahrellon: I missed the start of your request, what specifically do you need? I think I have a free solution | 20:35 |
| musikgoat | ahh thanks tonyyarusso | 20:35 |
| musikgoat | tonyyarusso: couldn't find it | 20:35 |
| musikgoat | i did an apt-cache search for it | 20:35 |
| mahrellon | rbs-tito: I need something like a keylogger so I can prove to my teen lads that I know what sites they access and what passwords they're using...Oh and I need to find out if they know the new pass to our router. | 20:35 |
| tonyyarusso | mahrellon: I'd agree with desertc that it would be worthwhile to tell them ahead of time. Either they ignore the warning, do it anyway, and you catch them, or they stop what they were doing. Either way you win. | 20:36 |
| rbs-tito | mahrellon: Oh right. I was going to suggest OpenDNS for parental controls. Keylogging is sketchy, nobody really makes them for honest reasons. | 20:36 |
| tonyyarusso | musikgoat: it looks like it changed from previous releases - pidgin-plugin-pack was listed in the dependencies of the gaim-irchelper dummy transitional package | 20:36 |
| mahrellon | tonyyarusso: That's why I'm here m8. I've been telling them for ages that I can find out what they're doing on the computer but they don't believe me and here I am...My bluff didn't work lol | 20:36 |
| Iggz | Well, this problem with the latest flash plugin in FF Konq and it seems opera. In opera a large number of people just get a grey Box. according to the opera LINUX blogg - as much as I understand it - I am very tired - this is because flash released the wrong version of the plugi :/. There is a work around I believe but this is available as a Linux extension - this I can dl, extract in archieve manager - or whatever its called - b | 20:37 |
| binBASH | Hi all, today I installed some Ubuntu updates and now mozilla thunderbird + pidgin are not working anymore. When I try to connect with SSL to mailserver thunderbird says, SSL is deactivated. Does somebody know what's going wrong there? | 20:37 |
| Iggz | Sorry - to long a message | 20:37 |
| kitofhawaii | mahrellon: ouch...we have a zonealarm Z100G here...the teens have never gotten by it... | 20:37 |
| musikgoat | tonyyarusso: yes, so do you think its not maintained in the repo any longer? | 20:37 |
| tonyyarusso | musikgoat: it's maintained - it just changed where things were put is all | 20:37 |
| kitofhawaii | mahrellon: and they hate it with an absolute passion :) | 20:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Iggz: where did you get your ff, flash and java.. from the repo or outside source | 20:38 |
| Iggz | Repo | 20:38 |
| mahrellon | kitofhawaii: lol! I've bought two new routers and they always manage to get around the parental control even tho I'm chaning the pass every 4 days or so. :\ | 20:38 |

| kitofhawaii | mahrellon: that one's been pretty darn bulletproof...it can lock down to the point no password will work, and only certain machines have unrestricted access | 20:39 |
| rbs-tito | mahrellon: Change the DNS servers on the router to OpenDNS, st up an account with filtering of both porn and proxies, put a secure password on the router. | 20:39 |
| mahrellon | genii: Thanks m8. =) | 20:39 |

| uptownben | without reformating? | 20:40 |
| mahrellon | danbhfive: Yeah the router (and cables) are in a locked cabinet atm. | 20:41 |
| tonyyarusso | uptownben: "maybe" - people have done it, but it's pretty risky | 20:41 |
| rbs-tito | mahrellon: So let them use it when you are there, not any other time | 20:41 |
| kitofhawaii | mahrellon: yah...when it comes to teens...sometimes a brick wall is necessary :) | 20:41 |
| dichtbijzee | uptownben: it's possible but not recommended | 20:41 |
| jerdude98 | I mean how do I mount the drive during I'm in Dosbox - I Do not know the drive for ubuntu ? | 20:41 |
| uptownben | best to just reformat, huh? | 20:41 |

| danbhfive | hehehe, those teens are good then, eh | 20:41 |
| mahrellon | kitofhawaii: Maby you're right m8. Maby I'll get another computer for homework only that won't be connected to the internet. | 20:41 |

| Strangework | crdlb: Cannot remember exactly, it is an Intel express chipset. | 21:46 |
| mojo | MikeH, really, i would not think so, unless it replaces some extant fonts. i imagine it just adds the fonts so they can be used if selected | 21:46 |
| kalosaurusrex | shadowblade: ah it means you have a package problem. sec and I'll get you something to run | 21:46 |

| mikeymike | hi i'm in dapper's live portion of the install cd right now, but earlier i tried to resize my ntfs partition with the gparted live usb and i came upon an error when ntfsresize was ran that i looked up and it was said that the error was fixed in version 1.5. i'm guessing the version on the gparted live usb is older than 1.5 since i got that error... is there any way i can use my dapper live or even the usb live to resize my ntfs partition by updating both | 22:06 |
| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: which one? | 22:07 |
| moto | mikeymike: google for gparted-livecd | 22:07 |
| erUSUL | louist: i think that the only thing you need is a firewall... | 22:07 |
| mikeymike | moto: i used that basically. i used the live usb | 22:07 |
| moto | mikeymike: they have a topnotch live-cd | 22:07 |
| kalosaurusrex | shadowblade: just paste like the last 50 lines or so | 22:07 |
| louist | erUSUL: firestarter okay? | 22:07 |
| mikeymike | moto: i did that. it requires you to download the livecd iso to create the live usb | 22:07 |
| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: of messages or messages.0? | 22:07 |
| moto | mikeymike: if your ntfs is defragmented it doesn work | 22:07 |
| kalosaurusrex | oh hmm | 22:07 |
| caravel | steve1 yes, anytime. You can have up to 6 consoles (Alt+F1 .. F6) and the graphical user interface is on Alt+F7. Note, you need Ctrl as well in order to go from the GUI to a console, but not under a console | 22:07 |
| mikeymike | moto: if it's defragged? or if it's fragged? | 22:08 |
| moto | mikeymike: /def/fragmented/ ; defrag it in windows | 22:08 |
| kalosaurusrex | shadowblade: if you do sudo apt-get remove cupsys what does it say? does it error? | 22:08 |
| jussio1 | HS^: they are as good or better than windows here | 22:08 |
| kalosaurusrex | shadowblade: something is wrong with cupsys. so we can to remove it, and reinstall it. | 22:08 |
| mikeymike | moto: it's not fragmented. i checked :( | 22:08 |
| erUSUL | louist: yes it has a nice interface... (all linux firewalls are iptables on the very bottom) | 22:08 |
| erUSUL | !iptables | louist | 22:08 |
| ubotu | louist: 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). | 22:08 |

| luciddr34m3r | Can anybody give me a hand with a wireless problem I'm having? | 22:08 |
| mikeymike | moto: haha i am brave. | 22:08 |
| mikeymike | moto: thank god the gparted runs a simulation | 22:09 |
| moto | mikeymike: ic. you are brave. | 22:09 |
| mikeymike | moto: it found the error during simulation | 22:09 |
| louist | okay. firestarter it is. and i have boot encryption, so I should be safe from that angle, right erUSUL? | 22:09 |
| moto | mikeymike: what was it ? | 22:09 |
| melkor | Lucidd whats your problem. | 22:09 |
| kalosaurusrex | shadowblade: okay remove it, then run sudo apt-get clean, then apt-get update and try installing again | 22:09 |
| mikeymike | moto: the error was ERROR: Extended record needed. (1048 > 1024), not yet supported! Please try to free less space. | 22:10 |
| moto | louist: boot-encryption doesnt help _anything_ once the system is running should it be attacked. it;s readable to system ;) | 22:10 |
| moto | mikeymike: heh. | 22:10 |
| luciddr34m3r | I'm on a laptop with wireless. Ubuntu automatically used a driver that I know works, but I can't see any wireless networks. I know at least 4 people with the same exact laptop (they are handed out by my uni) and they see them just fine with the same driver and everything. Any ideas? | 22:10 |
| mikeymike | moto: any knowledge? | 22:10 |
| louist | moto: of course. But i'm going to be in airports and stuff so in case my laptop gets stolen... | 22:10 |
| moto | mikeymike: no. just interest ;) | 22:10 |
| mikeymike | ok | 22:10 |
| mikeymike | thanks | 22:10 |
| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: got the same errors when i tried to install it again | 22:11 |
| mikeymike | i think i'll post my question again lol | 22:11 |
| moto | mikeymike: :) | 22:11 |
| mikeymike | hi i'm in dapper's live portion of the install cd right now, but earlier i tried to resize my ntfs partition with the gparted live usb and i came upon an error when ntfsresize was ran that i looked up and it was said that the error was fixed in version 1.5. i'm guessing the version on the gparted live usb is older than 1.5 since i got that error... is there any way i can use my dapper live or even the usb live to resize my ntfs partition by updating both | 22:11 |

| mikeymike | i should shorten it. haha | 22:11 |
| mindoflotus | can you put drives on raid 5 if they are of different sizes/manufacturers? | 22:11 |

| caravel | melkor: Asus | 22:12 |
| luciddr34m3r | it also lists eth0 and lo, with no extensions of course | 22:12 |
| kalosaurusrex | caravel: if you right click the volume control and check the setting (if you have it) for headset detect does that fix? | 22:12 |
| melkor | How do you scan did you try sudo iwscan ath0 list | 22:12 |
| arvin_ | I can't unmount my ntfs partitions | 22:12 |
| luciddr34m3r | yeah | 22:12 |
| arvin_ | can anyone help me? | 22:12 |
| arvin_ | says permission denied. | 22:13 |
| luciddr34m3r | and my utility doesnt list any | 22:13 |
| moto | mikeymike: you could google for it, maybe it's symptomathic to some extend. it looks like you just cannot free as mcuh space as you had in mind to me | 22:13 |

| mikeymike | hi i'm in dapper's live portion of the install cd right now, but earlier i tried to resize my ntfs partition with the gparted live usb and i came upon an error when ntfsresize was ran that i looked up and it was said that the error was fixed in version 1.5. is there any way i can update the gparted and ntfsresize on my dapper live or even the usb live to resize my ntfs partition? I tried installing them in synaptic but they show up as the newest version. | 22:13 |
| melkor | Are you using the mad-wifi drivers? | 22:13 |
| melkor | lucid | 22:13 |
| mikeymike | a little shorter and clearer :) | 22:13 |
| kalosaurusrex | louist: jinx :) | 22:13 |
| moto | mikeymike: now where is that _any shorter ;)_ | 22:13 |
| louist | kalosaurusrex: darn! | 22:13 |
| yaro | Anything else I can try? I wish I knew how to apply this thing. | 22:14 |
| luciddr34m3r | no, but i know my driver works. same one works on other laptops exactly like mine. i checked. one strange thing is that i can't ifdown and ifup on ath0. it says its not configured... | 22:14 |
| moto | yaro: help patch | 22:14 |
| mikeymike | moto: yeah but i need to.. i'm basically resizing my windows install to 3 gigs of free space instead of using most of the drive. so that i can use the free space to install windows again on new hardware that i have sitting in my room waiting to be ran :( ok so maybe it's not any shorter but it is clearer.... i think? | 22:14 |
| ganjistux | i hope it works | 22:14 |
| HS^ | is there a reason to chose ubuntu over kubuntu | 22:14 |
| moto | moto@aka/media/hdb6/home/sysmoto$ patch --help | 22:14 |
| moto | Usage: patch [OPTION]... [ORIGFILE [PATCHFILE]] | 22:14 |
| ganjistux | kde or gnome | 22:14 |
| arvin_ | how do i set it so that i can rename them without going into root? | 22:14 |
| HS^ | ganjistux thats all? | 22:14 |
| moto | yaro: ^^ | 22:15 |
| ganjistux | maybe | 22:15 |
| melkor | luciddr3am3r it sounds like your driver is not properly installed, did you use a modprob ...? | 22:15 |
| erUSUL | HS^: the question makes more sense the other way around. ubuntu is the main one kubuntu is community driven like xubuntu | 22:15 |
| mikeymike | moto: i have a new motherboard, cpu, video card that i'm just itching to use but you can't just swap motherboards on a current windows install... i dont think? haha | 22:15 |
| luciddr34m3r | didnt do modprob | 22:15 |
| ganjistux | maybean gnome is better for small peoples | 22:15 |
| * caravel has never seen any driver that allows both the speakers and the headset. Therefore it's pretty revolutionary. However, not being able to disable the speakers is rather archaic. Gutsy is quite a paradoxal systen, isn't it ? | 22:15 | |
| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: i google searched the first error message i was getting and there are several bug reports about it - none of them seem to have fixes | 22:15 |
| HS^ | erUSUL so is there a reason to use kubuntu over ubuntu | 22:15 |
| HS^ | i just want the best | 22:16 |
| kalosaurusrex | shadowblade: you are using gutsy? | 22:16 |
| ganjistux | yeah , you can eat them | 22:16 |
| melkor | How did you install the drivers. When I used the mad wifi drivers I had to do modprob "???" at the end | 22:16 |
| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: yep | 22:16 |
| luciddr34m3r | the drivers were automatic | 22:16 |
| melkor | I also have an atheros wireless card. | 22:16 |
| luciddr34m3r | ubuntu loaded them on install | 22:16 |
| yaro | moto: Okay... I get ohow to do it, now I fail to see the point since this will have me download the tarball anyway, why would I need the patch then? | 22:16 |
| luciddr34m3r | just like my roomates with the same laptop | 22:16 |
| luciddr34m3r | i even compared to make sure we were running the same driver | 22:17 |
| kalosaurusrex | shadowblade: can you link me a bug defect? cause I'm the ubuntu printing team and I haven't seen this. but we get a lot of emails so maybe I missed it | 22:17 |
| moto | yaro: patch assumes you patch an elder [origfile] with a newer patch | 22:17 |
| erUSUL | HS^: kde | 22:17 |
| mikeymike | moto: i tried downloading the newest versions of gparted and ntfsresize and compiling them on this live session but the configure said i have no c compiler! | 22:17 |
| arvin_ | my audiotrek prodigy 7.1 stopped working after updating | 22:17 |
| erUSUL | !best | HS^ | 22:17 |
| ubotu | HS^: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. | 22:17 |
| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: first google result just copying and pasting the error https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/174069 | 22:17 |
| melkor | Well you got me there then, I think the drivers are included with ubuntu, but when I did it on my old laptop (with the atheros card) they weren't so I install mad wifi manually | 22:17 |
| arvin_ | only my onboard sound works | 22:17 |
| yaro | moto: Soooo I'm probably fussing over something I dont need to. | 22:17 |
| arvin_ | how do i fix it? | 22:17 |
| mikeymike | i'm pretty sure even dapper's live install has a c compiler! | 22:17 |
| mikeymike | :( | 22:18 |
| moto | yaro: reduceing the download from 150MB for whole patch to 15MB of stuff that actually changed from file_v1 to file_v2 | 22:18 |
| mikeymike | it sayas it's not in the $PATH or something | 22:18 |
| dis4ever | can i use kde app on gnome desktop | 22:18 |
| luciddr34m3r | someone had me edit a few lines of my /etc/network/interfaces file. would anything there contribute? | 22:18 |
| dis4ever | like mame is kde i believe | 22:18 |
| * mikeymike sighs | 22:18 | |
| moto | mikeymike: now you lost me | 22:18 |
| erUSUL | dis4ever: yes but you will eat ram with all the duplicated infrastructure of kde just for one app | 22:18 |
| jussio1 | dis4ever: yes, you can | 22:19 |
| kazol | How do I change the brightness/contrast of images in OpenOffice? | 22:19 |

| Stargazer | Wiki: is the wiki the same for all versions / | 22:19 |
| Stargazer | ? | 22:19 |
| * Latino pokes moto :P | 22:19 | |
| melkor | luciddr34m3r what does it say. Mine has two lines it it that aren't commented out. | 22:19 |
| moto | kazol: and baer in mind more than three questionmarks are sign of sincerely disturbed minds ;) | 22:19 |
| dis4ever | is kubuntu better than ubuntu or is is it all really the same | 22:19 |
| dis4ever | i am using kubuntu now but i found ubuntu easier | 22:20 |
| mikeymike | moto: ok like i said.. the gparted and ntfsresize is old on this live session. i went to gparted's website and go the newest version and i went to ntfsresize's website and got the newest versoiin but when i tried to ./configure it said no c compiler found in $PATH | 22:20 |
| Latino | dis4ever: the difference is its default windonw manager | 22:20 |
| HS^ | if the people of africa believe in ubuntu nd that is the right way, why is africa such a mess | 22:20 |

| mikeymike | does the dapper live install have no c compiler? lol | 22:20 |
| rampage73 | dis4ever, more preference than anything | 22:20 |
| Stargazer | Kubuntu uses a different desktop enviroment | 22:20 |
| yaro | KDE | 22:20 |
| kazol | HS^: lol | 22:20 |

| kazol | HS^: It's just the symbol and philosophy of the Ubuntu software project. | 22:21 |
| dis4ever | thanks, is it possible to use this blue environment of kde in gnome | 22:21 |
| dis4ever | it's a lovely blue | 22:21 |
| moto | Latino: heh ;) | 22:21 |
| mikeymike | synaptic reports that i have GCC installed. so why cant the configure script find them in $PATH? | 22:22 |
| erUSUL | dis4ever: install bluebuntu | 22:22 |
| mikeymike | i ran ./configure as root... being that this is dapper's install cd in live i dont think it mattered? | 22:22 |
| erUSUL | mikeymike: install build-essential | 22:22 |
| moto | mikeymike: type gcc | 22:22 |
| mikeymike | ok | 22:22 |
| dis4ever | does anyone know why my cdrom is listed as floppy and is not as dvdrom | 22:23 |
| mikeymike | 1 sec then | 22:23 |
| yaro | How do I manually use that wrapper? | 22:23 |
| raphi_k | G'day - I've recently upgraded phpmyadmin on Fiesty - and now when going to the phpmyadmin page, it just comes up blank. :( | 22:23 |

| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: any more ideas? | 22:23 |
| yaro | Language, plz. | 22:24 |
| mikeymike | moto: that worked so far.. gcc reports no fiiles | 22:24 |
| mikeymike | lol | 22:24 |

| Mark761966 | How do you get Grub onto a DVD? | 22:26 |
| mikeymike | moto: i already got it and i'm going to retry to install the newest versions of ntfsresize and gparted | 22:26 |
| luciddr34m31 | what was the wireless driver package you said you use? i might as well try it | 22:26 |
| melkor | dis4ever they make the main programs for doom such id games. You just need the main wad files | 22:26 |
| moto | that suggestion wasn't from me mikeymike , but thats nonessential i guess | 22:26 |
| mikeymike | moto: oh haha | 22:26 |
| erUSUL | Mark761966: grub does not work on cd-dvd's afaik | 22:26 |
| mikeymike | oh it was erUSUL who suggested it | 22:26 |
| andre_ | paddy_EIRE: tx bud, I'll look it up | 22:26 |
| mikeymike | thanks erUSUL | 22:26 |
| melkor | luciddr34m3l mad wifi, they are included in the repositories so you can apt-get them | 22:26 |
| luciddr34m31 | ok i'll try that | 22:27 |
| melkor | everytime I upgrade my kernel I have to reinstall them | 22:27 |
| luciddr34m31 | madwifi-tools ? | 22:27 |
| mikeymike | oh noes! now i have this error when trying to compile gparted checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool | 22:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | andre_, sure man | 22:27 |
| mikeymike | wut means this? | 22:28 |
| mikeymike | :[ | 22:28 |
| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: iirc, i was seeing if 'suspend' would work on my laptop, it didn't so i had to do a hold the power button til it went off, restart, etc...then i came back and tried to install updates and got that error....(the updates were for compiz, not really important to me) then i tried to use flash in firefox, and i got the same error when trying to install the plugin, and here i am. | 22:28 |
| mikeymike | it was checking for perl before that | 22:28 |
| mikeymike | checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool | 22:28 |
| mikeymike | ah i didnt mean to paste that again | 22:28 |
| yaro | How do I manually install libflashplayer.so? | 22:28 |
| mikeymike | ok forget this. what is the best app to use to resize an ntfs partition. | 22:29 |
| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: everything else seems to be working fine | 22:29 |
| slize | hey, is it possible to compile a module for a generic kernel? | 22:29 |
| mikeymike | best FREE app. sorry. | 22:29 |
| erUSUL | slize: for the ubuntu kernel you mean? | 22:29 |
| unitheory | mikeymike, for linux? | 22:30 |
| slize | erUSUL: i need a vpn cisco module, but i don't wanna recompile the whole kernel by hand | 22:30 |
| mikeymike | linux or windows | 22:30 |
| arvin_ | if i want to mount my hard disk manually do i just write sudo mount -o loop /dev/sda1 /mount/point ? | 22:30 |
| unitheory | mikeymike, gparted | 22:30 |
| mikeymike | noooooooo :( | 22:30 |
| pike_ | arvin_: you dont use the loopback | 22:30 |
| unitheory | mikeymike, qtparted ? | 22:30 |
| mikeymike | i'm using gnome | 22:30 |
| pike_ | arvin_: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/something what format is sda1? fat32, ntfs, ext3? | 22:30 |
| unitheory | i like gparted | 22:31 |
| kalosaurusrex | shadowblade: are you on a 32 or 64 bit system? | 22:31 |
| mikeymike | ok | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | slize: usually external mudules can be compiled against installed kernels you only need to do 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' and install build-essential | 22:31 |
| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: 32bit | 22:31 |
| AprilHare | would something like /dev/sda1 work in qemu or am I confused? | 22:31 |
| arvin_ | pike_ can i do mount /dev/hda1 /c: ? | 22:31 |
| * moto pokes right back at Latino | 22:31 | |
| arvin_ | pike_: can i do mount /dev/hda1 /c: ? | 22:31 |
| Latino | hah, thanks for wake me up | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | arvin_: you do not need the -o loop it is an actual block device not an image on a file | 22:31 |
| arvin_ | okay | 22:31 |
| arvin_ | i'll try. | 22:32 |

| caravel | XBehave: I read a lot about these. But it's not sufficient, and very frustrating. All I mean is that there are outstanding feature in Ubuntu, but sometimes one could wonder why such basic stuff s not addressed first. Seems to be a matter of prio, nothing more. | 22:47 |

| kalosaurusrex | shadowblade: hmm but it failed when you try and re-install? | 22:58 |
| Seveas | mikeymike, grab a gutsy live cd instead of dapper if you want a newer gparted | 22:59 |
| mikeymike | Seveas: well i'm not so worried about gparted but the ntfsresize had to be updated. | 22:59 |

| brobostigon | it worked without errors, it didnt have software in the base install for obex, so i had to install that later, but otherwise no errors. | 22:59 |
| mikeymike | Seveas: i can't burn a cd right now so i am not able to do that. Can i put it on a 1gb flash drive? | 22:59 |
| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: yea, other programs wont install if i have it "installed" | 22:59 |
| Seveas | mikeymike, the cd is about 700 mb, so if you can boot from usb flashdrive, that would work | 22:59 |
| Jupp2 | sillyforprez, tru running "firefox -safe-mode" | 23:00 |
| ccunarro | brobostigon:ok | 23:00 |
| shadowblade | kalosaurusrex: that was the original problem | 23:00 |
| mikeymike | Seveas: why can't i just update the gparted on this dapper cd live session? | 23:00 |
| zetheroo | Skype 2.0 is constantly dropping calls | 23:00 |
| Seveas | mikeymike, because you'll run into dependency problems | 23:00 |
| mikeymike | Seveas: :( | 23:00 |
| kalosaurusrex | shadowblade: well if it's working that way you could try doing sudo updatedb and then locate cups and/or cupsys and cleaning it up a little and try re-installing..that -might- help.. | 23:00 |
| Jupp2 | sillyforprez. that way it will deactiva plugins and give you more output | 23:00 |
| kalosaurusrex | could be it's not cleaning up on the install. | 23:00 |

| ASTX813 | I've been using Ubnto for 2 years now and still don't know my way out of a minor annoyance I keep running into. If I forgot to put & at the end of a command, is there any keystroke to get the same effect after the fact? (So I can close the terminal without killing the program I've launched, perhaps) | 23:29 |
| StoneNote | Sasquatch, do they pay their tech folks well? | 23:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tad: sorry, kinda working on another project | 23:29 |
| Sasquatch | I am trying to justify new virtual desktop software and since ubuntu lets me try it and windows anything you have to buy | 23:29 |

| ASTX813 | I've got Quicken working, it's the pocket quicken conduit that I need to mimic. | 23:33 |
| astro76 | ASTX813, is that something that works with usb or serial? | 23:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arvin_: can you post your sources.list to the pastebin | 23:34 |
| tad | pike_ how would i telnet it? | 23:34 |

| jbrevik | Is there any other programs similar to kismet that I can use? Because there is no available drivers for my netgear wg111t usb dongle in linux and kismet cant be used with drivers installed using ndiswrapper | 23:45 |
