| kling0n | mindy go to a pastebin and paste the text in the /var/log/X0rg.0.log file | 00:00 |

| Avt | hello guys? | 00:01 |
| chapium | kling0n: i already have the drive setup | 00:01 |

| lds | Klingon: cool..thanks.. | 00:02 |
| Bryan | has the flash plug in been fixed yet? | 00:02 |
| kling0n | chapium: what is the problem then? | 00:02 |
| phibxr | Bryan: I guess the topic will change then. | 00:02 |
| lds | exit | 00:02 |
| chapium | kling0n: particularly, i'd like to just retain some common settings like gnome desktop configuration, firefox settings, and pidgin. I can figure out firefox and pidgin, but i'm not sure which hidden files i need to save (ala email to self) to keep gnome happy | 00:03 |

| Soskel | hello | 00:04 |
| Soskel | would someone pleas test to see if http://imageprocessinglab.com works on ubuntu? | 00:05 |
| huss_ | jensendied, you still there !! | 00:05 |
| Avt | did you guys see my ? | 00:05 |
| loke | Saskel: Webpages aren't OS dependant. | 00:05 |
| JensenDied | huss_: the first one i typo'd `ps -x |grep avant` is what we basically wanted. | 00:05 |
| kling0n | Avt: sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer | 00:05 |
| zgmf-x20a | hey guys i need some desperate help. how do i reinstall i guess screens and graphics? basicaly every time i select it it does not open, and my screen size is totally buggered! it happened while trying to connect an lcd monitor as secondary. but, whatever, ill do tht later, i just need to resize my desktop! | 00:06 |
| Avt | k thx | 00:06 |
| loke | zgmf-x20a: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:06 |
| loke | zgmf-x20a: I believe that's what you're after. | 00:06 |
| mindy | kling0n: were you able to view my pastebin url ? | 00:06 |
| kling0n | Soskel: define "works on ubuntu" please | 00:06 |
| loke | zgmf-x20a: It'll restore your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the default. | 00:06 |
| kling0n | mindy: hang on | 00:07 |
| Soskel | kling0n: runs on ubuntu without error | 00:07 |
| Soskel | I think it's a pretty straight forward request | 00:07 |
| huss_ | jensendied, I had this massage "Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html | 00:07 |
| huss_ | 9545 pts/0 R+ 0:00 grep avant" | 00:07 |
| mindy | kling0n: sorry...no rush. "nv" driver okay for now. | 00:07 |
| kling0n | mindy: try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 00:08 |
| kling0n | mindy: more info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 00:08 |
| JensenDied | huss_: well, if thats the only result then its not running right now, run `avant-window-navigator` in a terminal (you dont need the backticks, thats just to seperate the command) | 00:08 |
| loke | Personally, I prefer to simply install Envy. I've spent too much time trying to manually install the driver. | 00:09 |
| Avt | kling0n seems the same thing is happening should I uninstall a plugin? | 00:09 |
| mindy | kling0n: it may help to mention that I'm running the 2.6.17-11 image...not 2.6.22 | 00:09 |
| kling0n | Soskel: the webpage renders just fine with firefox for me :) | 00:09 |
| TCHP | ok I got an answer I was looking for from the faq... | 00:09 |
| warriorforgod | When is ubuntu going to release 2.6.24 kernel with cfs? | 00:09 |
| kling0n | Avt: check about:plugins in firefox to see which plugins you've got | 00:09 |
| zgmf-x20a | loke: cool thank you ill give that a try! :) | 00:09 |
| loke | zgmf-x20a: Not a problem. | 00:09 |
| kling0n | Avt: I personally removed other media player plugins on my installation in order to use mplayer | 00:09 |
| TCHP | but then last time I had ubuntu I had a very hard problem running my raid HD | 00:09 |
| kling0n | Avt: although i'm sure there's a neater way of ndoing it, that seems to work for me :) | 00:10 |
| TCHP | is that any better now in 7.10 | 00:10 |
| huss_ | jensendied, I did and that was the result "avant-window-navigator | 00:10 |
| huss_ | Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositi" | 00:10 |
| loke | huss_: You'll need compiz or xcompmgr in order for awn to display properly. | 00:10 |
| kling0n | mindy: another alternative would be to remove all nvidia related packages and build it by running the install script directly from nvidia's home apge | 00:10 |
| kling0n | page | 00:10 |
| kling0n | sorry but i gtg | 00:11 |
| JensenDied | huss_: ic, seems like you either need to change WM's or possibly X settings | 00:11 |
| Soskel | Could someone please see if the application from http://imageprocessinglab.com works in ubuntu? | 00:11 |
| loke | Soskel: Several people have confirmed that it functions. | 00:11 |
| zerogt86 | hey, i was wondering if any of you know any way to make the volume control in gnome control more than one source at once (ie control the master and the headphone at the same time) | 00:11 |
| mindy | kling0n: i'm cool with that, but won't i need sources for 2.6.17-11 installed on my Gutsy? | 00:11 |
| Voyage__ | iam using virtual box to run winxp . how to share files and folders in win xp? it only shows c: . (in linux virtual box tells me to use "net use x:\\vboxsvr\shareedfoldername" ) didnt got it. | 00:12 |
| Soskel | loke: I am not asking if the web page loads fine | 00:12 |
| loke | mindy: Why not use the latest kernel? | 00:12 |
| huss_ | soooooo what should I do guys plz I don't know | 00:12 |
| mindy | loke: it won't boot with my USB keyboard connected...not sure why. Hangs at io scheduler | 00:12 |
| loke | mindy: Interesting. I would certainly look into "Envy". | 00:12 |
| mindy | loke: Envy ? | 00:12 |
| loke | mindy: It's an automatic installer for the nvidia drivers. | 00:12 |
| mindy | hmmm... | 00:13 |

| Bryan | is there some particular reason while, under windows, I get 54 Mbps and under ubuntu I get around 24? I have broadcom 43xx on a dell inspiron 1520. I'm using the restricted drivers. | 00:14 |
| loke | Avt: It's unlikely. I'm tending to simple questions as I'm pre-occupied. | 00:14 |
| huss_ | jensenDied: it is "direct rendering : Yes" | 00:14 |
| kling0n | mindy: yup, if you compile it you will need the headers | 00:14 |
| Avt | who can help me? | 00:14 |
| Avt | Kling0n! :D | 00:14 |
| * Pelo mutters something about not getting paid enough for this and punches in | 00:14 | |
| kling0n | Avt: you might want to remove the totem mozilla plugin | 00:15 |
| Avt | ook ty | 00:15 |
| loke | kling0n: Don't forget to mention the mod he/she'll need to make in order to not have to re-install the drivers after every reboot. | 00:15 |
| kling0n | Soskel: running the app with mono iplab.exe gives me a crash | 00:15 |
| evanotten | Hello all, I was curious to know if there was a good resource for pre-configured themes, I cannot seem to figure out how to customize my task bar color to resemble my window color scheme. Thank you in advance for any assistance. | 00:15 |

| Pelo | Voyage__, I think you'll havwe to ask in the #vbox channel | 00:17 |
| kling0n | mindy: there are a number of issue in connection with running your own build inclusing having to rebuild the module each time you upgrade kernel | 00:17 |
| === etotheipi is now known as _etotheip | ||
| JensenDied | huss_: looks like you want to follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/InstallingCompiz | 00:17 |
| kling0n | mindy: have you done a sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new ? | 00:17 |
| Pelo | Avt, try a different site or file, some just don't work well, specialy some versions of wmv | 00:17 |
| Avt | o | 00:18 |
| mindy | kling0n: yea..it's downloading the 2.6.22 kernel image at the moment | 00:18 |
| kling0n | mindy: btw disabling usb keyboard/mouse in your bios might remove your boot issue :) | 00:18 |
| huss_ | jensenDied: thanks so much I hope it works | 00:19 |
| Pelo | evanotten, on www.gnome-look.org , you will see themes and theme parts, and other eyecandy stuff, you get categories on left hand side of the webiste, emerald themes is what you want for compiz-fusion | 00:19 |
| evanotten | awesome thank you | 00:19 |
| * Pelo is awesome | 00:19 | |
| * Pelo must be in the wrong channel | 00:19 | |
| Odd-rationale | What do I need install to have the Add/Remove application thing? e.g. did minimum install and don't have it by default. | 00:19 |
| Bryan | is there some particular reason while, under windows, I get 54 Mbps and under ubuntu I get around 24? I have broadcom 43xx on a dell inspiron 1520. I'm using the restricted drivers. | 00:20 |
| Avt | I want something that just works period.... | 00:20 |
| Pelo | Odd-rationale, do you have a gui at all ? | 00:20 |

| kling0n | mindy: I'm going to go to sleep pretty soon... please focus on getting the precompiled modules to work for you first unless you are comfortable compiling and disabling specific modules from the modprobe sequence | 00:20 |
| Bryan | loke, the "connection information" button lol | 00:20 |
| Odd-rationale | Pelo: Yes. I aslo have synaptic. just want the add/remove thing. | 00:20 |
| Pelo | Avt, did you install mplayer-mozilla and remove mozilla-totem ? | 00:20 |
| Bryan | loke, but i've also used speedtest.net and I get different speeds there too. | 00:20 |
| loke | Bryan: Compare your speeds by using an online tool, such as speedtest.net | 00:20 |
| loke | Ah. | 00:21 |
| Bryan | and I mean different by like 5 mb/s | 00:21 |

| loke | Bryan: Sorry, not sure how to help you from there. | 00:22 |
| Bryan | hmm | 00:22 |
| loke | evanotten: Look into "Pidgin" (formerly GAIM) | 00:22 |
| Bryan | well, is there anyway to update the restricted drivers? | 00:22 |
| Pelo | Odd-rationale, add/remove is a gnome thing, yo can always try with , sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install maybe that will install the package you need to have it | 00:22 |
| evanotten | ok will do thanks again sorry to bother you guys | 00:22 |
| Bryan | or to check if there is an update for the restricted drivers | 00:22 |
| yavuz_ | only english | 00:22 |
| yavuz_ | another langues | 00:23 |
| loke | Bryan: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -- in the terminal to get the official updates. | 00:23 |
| Pelo | evanotten, no bother this is what we come here for, we like showing off our knowledge of ubuntu | 00:23 |
| Odd-rationale | Pelo: OK I'll try. Xubuntu has it by defualt, though. | 00:23 |
| Pelo | yavuz_, what is your native language ? | 00:23 |
| evanotten | its much appreciated | 00:23 |
| Kuropon | is there a wild card cmd to look for a folder on your drive not knowing the full path? | 00:23 |

| chd176 | ok I am very new to linux and I have NO clue how to install any program and I've been pulling my hair out for an hour trying to install java. Can't you simply double click to install something?!? | 00:24 |

| Kuropon | is there a wild card cmd to look for a folder on your drive not knowing the full path? | 00:24 |
| thomas_ | how to fix ubuntu to make it run more quickly anyone | 00:25 |
| kelsin | chd176: yep, you can also run synaptic from System -> Admin and search for sun-java6-jre and install it that way | 00:25 |
| loke | Kuropon: locate folder | 00:25 |
| Pelo | dolphin_noel, it use to but it got left of at some point, you can see those info by rightclicking hte file in rythembox and going to properties, or if you want a seperate app to do It easytag also displays them | 00:25 |
| thomas_ | used envy already for drivers | 00:25 |
| loke | thomas_: Quickly in which respect? | 00:25 |

| evanotten | the last issue i had a question on was that i am currently on a wireless network at home here, and it seems when i boot in xp my browsing is much faster than in kubuntu, i am not sure if this is right but i had an idea that i may need to disable IPv6 and try a config tweak in firefox.. Does this sound like it may resolve the slow browsing speeds? | 00:25 |
| thomas_ | programs load slowly and freeze | 00:25 |
| chd176 | yeah just tried it and it didn't work | 00:26 |
| chd176 | got an error saying its not available | 00:26 |
| loke | evanotten: IPv6 should make little differnce. | 00:26 |
| kitofhawaii | evanotten: disabling ipv6 won't make a difference. | 00:26 |
| kelsin | chd176: need to enable the universe repo I think | 00:26 |
| dolphin_noel | Pelo well i was just think that was sme software tha show this in nautilus like ... we see the size file we can see the bitrates frm mp3 :x ok thank you very much :) | 00:26 |
| evanotten | i was wondering that.. | 00:26 |
| kelsin | !universe | chd176 | 00:26 |

| Pelo | evanotten, id does, check inteh forum for info on ipv6 , there is an howto on disabling it | 00:26 |
| Avt | pelo I did all that and it still isnt workin | 00:26 |
| juano__ | kitofhawaii: ipv6 will make a difference yes | 00:26 |
| evanotten | yeah i caught a few threads but it seems to be a stalemate there | 00:27 |
| kelsin | chd176: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-5bbef89639d9a7d93fe38f6356dc17847d373096 | 00:27 |

| ubotu | evanotten: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 00:27 |
| Pelo | dolphin_noel, there is a package you can add to enable sound preview in nautilus, that might also give you the info you want in a right click properties, mpeg123 I beleive is the pacakge might be mpeg321 | 00:27 |
| juano__ | evanotten: ipv6 problem for sure, you need to disable it | 00:27 |
| chd176 | All of this to install something as simple as java? | 00:27 |
| evanotten | kitofhawaii seems to think it wont help | 00:27 |
| evanotten | ok | 00:27 |
| evanotten | will check it out | 00:27 |

| juano__ | evanotten: same problem here i had | 00:28 |
| loke | juano__: Unlikely to be an IPv6 problem, but no reason not to remove it. | 00:28 |
| Pelo | nvm | 00:28 |
| kitofhawaii | evanro: i'm willing to be wrong :) | 00:28 |
| kelsin | chd176: ... you have to enable the repos once, ever, just to open up the unsupported packages, once that's done it's one command | 00:28 |
| kelsin | chd176: and enabling them is a few clicks | 00:28 |

| dolphin_noel | Pelo ok thank you very much i will try :) | 00:28 |
| evanotten | cool thanks | 00:28 |
| chd176 | ok I'm confused...again | 00:28 |
| juano__ | evanotten: follow ubotus link to disable ipv6 | 00:29 |
| Pelo | dolphin_noel, if you want those info in the regular nautilus window try searching google for nautilus scripts , you might find something that does it | 00:29 |
| loke | kitofhawaii: I've had it disabled and enabled and the differences are negligible, so I believe you're correct. | 00:29 |
| aladdinsane | is it possible in some way to direct an application to a specific system tray, assuming im using two system trays, I.e. when using "alltray"? | 00:29 |
| Pelo | chd176, I got confused I thought you needed to install java, not ath you were complaining | 00:29 |
| loke | But I must re-itterate, having it disabled can't hurt as it's not yet supported. | 00:29 |
| Kuropon | I did wget for a .tar.gz . I need to extract the file now and then install it. is there a cmd line from terminal to tell it to extract? | 00:29 |
| loke | Kuropon: tar xvf *tar.gz | 00:29 |
| Kuropon | loke, ty | 00:30 |
| Pelo | Kuropon, if the file is on your desktp just right click extract here | 00:30 |
| genii | loke: try instead tar xvzf | 00:30 |
| juano__ | loke: yea it won't.. but in my experience it is the cause of slow browsing | 00:30 |
| * Pelo designates loke to teach Kuropon how to manualy compile the source he just dled | 00:30 | |

| loke | wget http://site.com/file.tar.gz && tar xvzf *tar.gz | 00:31 |

| kelsin | chd176: it can, it's not enabled by default for patent reasons | 00:32 |

| Kuropon | kelsin, I saw what loki said.. but what do you mean by '-O -' | 00:32 |
| Pelo | chd176, open menu > system > admin > software sources, check all the boxes on the first tab and the backport one on the third tab , then exit that dialog and reload the packages when asked then go in menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager, use the search tool to looko for java , install sun-java6-jre the -bin and the -plugin packages , apply and be happy | 00:33 |
| kelsin | Kuropon: I thought you meant pipe the output of wget to the tar command, not just run both on one line | 00:33 |
| Pelo | afk | 00:33 |
| Kuropon | kelsin, don't they both have the same outcome? | 00:33 |
| kelsin | Kuropon: -O - sends the output of wget to stdout, and since tar reads stdin you can do "wget -O - <address> | tar xz" and have it untar right were you are without saving the file | 00:33 |
| kelsin | Kuropon: same end result except with his you also have the file saved as well, I thought you were asking something different technically | 00:34 |
| MrLint | hi, is anyone around familiar with the mac PPC build? | 00:34 |
| loke | Personally, I prefer to keep the package. But everyone's different. | 00:34 |
| Kuropon | kelsin, ahh | 00:34 |
| Iggz | This will no doubt sound really silly but how do you access your vidoe drivers properties in linux? Ubuntu of course. geforce 6200 driver - extended properties such as video brightness, etc? | 00:34 |
| Pelo | MrLint, you are better off asking a specific question , someoen might know or have seen someone else discuss it and hve retained the info | 00:35 |
| loke | Iggz: nvidia-settings should do it | 00:35 |
| chd176 | so do I need to do something special to install flash? | 00:35 |
| Kuropon | loke, I've done wget now I need to do xvf [filename].. but where will it extract it? | 00:35 |
| Iggz | loke: Thank you but where are they? :-/ | 00:35 |
| Pelo | Iggz, sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings then run | 00:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hi Pelo... | 00:35 |
| Pelo | hello Jack_Sparrow | 00:35 |
| Zeddie | <Zeddie> hmm how do i change the default applications? I've currently got a problem with a few bit torrent clients <--- I solved my own problem , right click on properties on a file of that type in nautilus and change the open with file :) | 00:35 |
| loke | Kuropon: It'll extract it to the current directory unless you change it. | 00:35 |
| WildnQIk | whats the command to get cc installed? | 00:35 |
| loke | Kuropon: type `man tar` in the terminal | 00:35 |
| Pelo | WildnQIk, cc ? | 00:36 |
| juano__ | chd176: no just install flash from synaptic or download it from adobe just like in windows :) | 00:36 |
| HellMind | apt-get install cc :S | 00:36 |
| MrLint | Pelo : ok well on a lark i thought id try the desktop 7.1 on my old g4 mac.. and after the inital startup when its suppose to go into live mode i just get a bkacl screen with a cursor. | 00:36 |
| loke | WildnQIk: You mean gcc? | 00:36 |
| WildnQIk | rofl | 00:36 |
| Iggz | Pelo: thank you :-) | 00:36 |
| kelsin | WildnQIk: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" | 00:36 |
| chd176 | ok cool | 00:36 |
| WildnQIk | thats the one | 00:36 |
| WildnQIk | cheers kelsin | 00:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kuropon: when you get a chance... do man tar in a term | 00:36 |
| Pelo | MrLint, did you get the ppc live cd ? | 00:36 |
| Kuropon | loke, well wget defaults it to my /cache dir.. is it ok to extract stuff in there? | 00:36 |
| loke | Kuropon: You mean /tmp? | 00:36 |
| chd176 | now the only other issue I may run into is the MP3 support. I checked out the links but I'm confused it said something about having to convert the files? | 00:36 |
| MrLint | pelo : Im pretty sure i did, the boot screen saya live is the default option. | 00:36 |
| huss_ | JensenDied, do you still here? | 00:37 |
| juano__ | chd176: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:37 |
| loke | Kuropon: If you're running it from the command line (terminal), it'll download it to the current location. | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MrLint: at the first menu hit F6 then noapic if that dosent work there are other options to try | 00:37 |
| Pelo | MrLint, I thinkt that the macs that run the intel chip need the i386 cd , but I'm not sure what I am talking about here | 00:37 |
| JensenDied | huss_: yeah somewhat | 00:37 |
| Kuropon | loke, /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | 00:37 |
| Kuropon | is the location of it | 00:37 |
| MrLint | jack : ok i'll give that a shot, i tried the no OF vid thing but that ended with the same result. | 00:37 |
| juano__ | chd176: restricted formats have support for lots of file types, like mp3, mp4 .. | 00:37 |
| loke | Kuropon: You can extract it there if you'd like. It makes no real difference. | 00:37 |
| * Pelo sees Jack_Sparrow rushing to MrLint 's rescue and decides to but out | 00:38 | |
| MrLint | heh :) | 00:38 |
| * loke will return in less than 5 minutes. Do not fear! | 00:38 | |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 00:38 |
| huss_ | JensenDied, compiz did put the same massage for the "avant-window-navigato" | 00:38 |
| MrLint | actually let me go over to that box and try that now.. one moment. | 00:38 |
| * Pelo is afraid that loke will return | 00:38 | |
| chd176 | oh ok cool | 00:38 |
| Avt | the mplayer i just install still is stopping mpg after I uninstall totem firefox can someone please help me with this issue? | 00:38 |
| JensenDied | huss_: you might need to restart X in order for compiz to run when you login | 00:38 |
| Pelo | Avt, cna yo try downloading the file and try it out from your pc ? | 00:39 |
| huss_ | I did but "Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager" | 00:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | for the recent flash udate. You need to grab the tar.gz from adobe and install the .so to your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ | 00:39 |
| WildnQIk | whats a good program to use on ubuntu that has webmail ? | 00:39 |
| JensenDied | huss_: i closed the page but it probably didnt have you launch compiz, just set it as the default. anyway alt-f2 type compiz hit ok | 00:39 |
| chd176 | This isn't really an important question I am just curious as to how MAC OS and Windows can enable MP3 support by default. Is this because linux distros are open source an the other OS's aren't? | 00:39 |
| * Pelo thinks Jack_Sparrow just lost his mind, we do not want to deal with this until they make a bin or a deb | 00:40 | |
| kelsin | WildnQIk: do you mean you want to run a webmail server? | 00:40 |
| WildnQIk | yeah | 00:40 |
| Kuropon | loke, doing an apt-get clean in a later date would get rid of it right? | 00:40 |
| MrLint | whoops i forgot i wasnt on irc in shell in that window:) | 00:40 |
| kelsin | chd176: they pay patent fees to whatever comapnies to support it | 00:40 |
| Pelo | chd176, copyright issues, apple and ms can afford to pay thomson for the rights | 00:40 |
| kelsin | chd176: if you want a legal mp3 decoder you can get one free from fluendo | 00:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pelo: they shoud have the installer fixed soon | 00:40 |
| Avt | pelo I will try it | 00:40 |
| Pelo | Kuropon, loke is afk atm , wait a bit and ask again when he returns | 00:40 |
| genii | Avt: Perhaps install package totem-mozilla | 00:41 |
| Pelo | genii, we just had him remove it | 00:41 |
| kelsin | WildnQIk: squirrel mail is a nice webmail client, also there is a project called "Bongo" (picked up where Hula left off) that includes mail / calendar stuff like that | 00:41 |
| chd176 | also while install java I got an error that the installer was corrupt do I just need to try it again? | 00:41 |
| kelsin | WildnQIk: I have no experience running these on ubuntu though, so I don't know if they're packaged etc | 00:41 |
| WildnQIk | where would i obtain squirrel mail | 00:41 |
| Pelo | chd176, how did you try to install java ? | 00:41 |
| WildnQIk | found it | 00:41 |
| huss_ | JensenDied, k then, do you think it might be a vega card prob? | 00:42 |
| genii | Pelo: So xmms- something then for the player? | 00:42 |
| fxfitz | Is there a one-line commander where I can disable my connected monitor? And turn it on again? | 00:42 |
| chd176 | I went to the synaptic package manager and searched for java and installed the .jre file and also the plugin | 00:42 |
| MrLint | jack di dyou say f6? | 00:42 |
| chd176 | this is the error I recieved | 00:42 |
| fxfitz | I have an nvidia card. | 00:42 |
| Avt | I was told to uninstall totem-moz for mplayer moz to work | 00:43 |
| Avt | should I just put back totem moz | 00:43 |
| JensenDied | huss_: i dont think so. just pull up the run dialog (alt+f2): compiz --replace; avant-window-navigator | 00:43 |
| Pelo | genii ' he's having difficulties palying mpeg in FF , he tried totem , he installed mplayer, we had him remove totem , now he's gonna try dling hte file and urnning it from the comp, I think the file is borked personnaly | 00:43 |
| chd176 | E: sun-java5-jre: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139 | 00:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MrLint: at the start or install screen yes F6 | 00:43 |
| * nickrud thinks Jack_Sparrow is just dealing with reality | 00:43 | |
| genii | Pelo: Yeah one of those shoulda worked | 00:43 |
| Avt | guys should I put back totem moz and uninstall mplayer? | 00:44 |
| genii | Avt: Not yet I would say | 00:44 |
| Pelo | Avt, try it | 00:44 |
| Avt | the mplayer movie plays offline but not with the plugin | 00:44 |

| scguy318 | evanotten: you have to select the Emerald theme in the Emerald theme manager | 00:52 |
| loke | evanotten: alt+f2 then type emerald-theme-manager | 00:52 |

| famicon | Pelo I'm using the CLI installer | 00:53 |
| Avt | Pelo thankyou buddy; I will try it out :D | 00:53 |
| scguy318 | Viper550: I think the newest is in proposed | 00:53 |
| Pelo | famicon, use parted to do the same , and then you will select the manual partitionning from the installer as well , just no pretty interface | 00:53 |
| Zylstra555 | Hello, I am in the Ubuntu installer at this very moment, and am about to create a new partition | 00:53 |
| Zylstra555 | I need guidance, I would like to dual boot, what am I to do? | 00:54 |
| famicon | Pelo ah, thanks | 00:54 |
| famicon | i thought you said gparted instead of parted | 00:54 |
| juano__ | Zylstra555: you need a / (root) partition that could be in example: ext3 | 00:54 |
| Zylstra555 | (I currently have Vista as my second OS, I just need to use Ubuntu to move my data around, so I can get rid of Dells junk) | 00:54 |
| juano__ | Zylstra555: and a swap partition | 00:54 |
| morphir | I'm printing out a large scale drawing (.png) which will require several A4 sheets (5 or so).. but gqview scales it automatically down to one A4 sheet | 00:54 |
| Pelo | Zylstra555, just rezise your existing ntfs partition to make room for ubuntu you need at least 10 gig to install ubuntu, more is better, after that just proceed with the install , guided I think , the dual boot part wll take care or itself | 00:54 |
| Zylstra555 | juano__: Okay, so, currently, I am in the installer. How do I ago about doing that? | 00:55 |
| Zylstra555 | Pelo: Resized it, I have 19GB unallocated. | 00:55 |
| juano__ | Zylstra555: ^^ see Pelo comment | 00:55 |
| juano__ | Zylstra555: ok | 00:55 |
| Pelo | famicon, I did say gparted, I it's the gnome gui frontend for parted, qparted is the kde version, in command line use parted | 00:55 |
| morphir | is there a proffesional printer software out there for linux? | 00:55 |
| Pelo | Zylstra555, just proceed with guided partitonning when you get to it then | 00:55 |
| juano__ | Zylstra555: well in the free space, make a / partition and a swap partition of bout 1 GB | 00:55 |
| Pelo | morphir, what do you mean by professionnal ? isn'T cups good enoug for you ? | 00:56 |
| evanotten | i just got an error when doing that | 00:56 |

| Pelo | evanotten, sudo apt-get install emerald-theme-manager | 00:56 |
| Zylstra555 | Okay, how do you want to partition the disks? Erase entire disk (obviously not)? Use largest continuious space? Manual? | 00:56 |
| juano__ | evanotten: were you able to disable ipv6 ? | 00:56 |
| timandtom | Does anyone know how to install ktorrent? I just downloaded the .tar.gz, I dont know what to do next | 00:56 |
| Zylstra555 | *Thats continuious free space | 00:56 |

| Zylstra555 | Is it possible to recover data if I accidently remove a partition? | 00:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Zylstra555: it is helpful for future reinstalls and such.. but for your first time.. just accept the "Use continious free space" | 00:58 |
| Pelo | Zylstra555, not realy | 00:58 |

| timandtom | loke: Crap. You can tell I'm still being weened off of Windows here | 00:59 |
| loke | TheMasticator: use a backslash to escape the space. | 00:59 |
| Zylstra555 | genii: Nope | 00:59 |
| Pelo | TheMasticator, cd /progra~1 or cd /program\ files | 00:59 |
| scguy318 | timandtom: just do sudo aptitude install ktorrent, the package management frontends are there for a reason :) | 00:59 |

| evanotten | The location or file could not be found came up when i ran sudo apt-get install emerald-theme-manager in my terminal window | 01:00 |
| genii | Zylstra555: What did you do that "removed" it? repartitioned? sudo rm /dev/sdX ? etc | 01:00 |
| Annie | and the sound isnt working, and i cannot seem to get the keyboard working | 01:00 |
| Zylstra555 | genii: I am just fearful when it comes to modifying my data like this... I did shrink my Vista partition, but thats all. Nothing removed | 01:01 |

| * genii struggles to understand through the obtuseness | 01:02 | |
| Zylstra555 | genii" nope, just me being fearful. Everything should be there. I am installing right now... | 01:02 |
| hdevalence | maybe more of a bzzzzzzzz-bip | 01:02 |
| Annie | juano__, what? | 01:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hdevalence: that isnt a good sign | 01:02 |
| famicon | is ther eany way to speed up parted | 01:02 |
| Zylstra555 | pelo: no idea, we will see soon :) | 01:02 |
| famicon | right now it tells me that i gotta wait 25 minuts | 01:02 |
| Annie | hdevalence, thats probably NOT a good thing | 01:02 |
| scguy318 | hdevalence: doesn't sound good | 01:02 |

| Avt | how to uninstall mozilla in the mterinal? | 01:02 |
| hdevalence | I did | 01:02 |
| Pelo | Zylstra555, if you can still boot vista after having resized the partiton youa re fine, try it , befor install utunbu, if it works just proceed with the isntallation of ubuntu and you will be ok | 01:03 |

| Pelo | !sound | Annie | 01:03 |
| ubotu | Annie: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:03 |

| evanotten | installing now | 01:04 |
| hdevalence | I put it in the freezer - I've heard that can help | 01:04 |
| chaosrl | Avt: you can search using "aptitude search mozilla" and find the names of the packages you want to uninstall | 01:04 |
| Pelo | Avt, you lost me, how recent is yoru install of ubuntu ? | 01:04 |
| Zylstra555 | Pelo: I really need a reformat anyways, so, I dont think there is a way to loose... except my save game files... | 01:04 |
| Avt | pelo gutsy | 01:04 |
| chaosrl | then use sudo aptitude remove <package> to remove it, but keep configuration files | 01:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hdevalence: that is only for an overheating drive, you caused physical damage to it | 01:04 |
| robotic | Does anyone know why I might be getting the message "oss_audio: can't open /dev/dsp" on a text-to-speech software? | 01:04 |
| Pc_Dark | can I get ubuntu to auto-update | 01:04 |
| chaosrl | to get rid of config files, use aptitude purge instead of remove | 01:04 |
| hdevalence | it was only like a foot | 01:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hdevalence: I have packed many a drive in blue ice to recover data | 01:05 |
| Annie | whats blue ice? | 01:05 |
| Pelo | Zylstra555, if you are gonna resitnall vista, intall it first and ubuntu after , that way grub will detect vista and make the boot menu to with both os on it | 01:05 |
| genii | Jack_Sparrow: A ziplock bag in the freezer works too :) | 01:05 |
| chaosrl | Pc_Dark: update manager should be running automatically out-of-box | 01:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hdevalence: I have seen them drom off a car roof and be fine or just a foot and be trashed. | 01:05 |
| chaosrl | it will let you know when there are updates | 01:05 |
| yumbaman | does anyone know how to socksify World of Warscraft? | 01:05 |
| thinh | how do i restart nfs server? | 01:05 |
| Pelo | avt i mean how long ago did you install it, if you donT ahve any data you ned to save, just clean install and start from scratch | 01:05 |
| hdevalence | actually, it's not the data I'm worried about.. | 01:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | genii: the problem with that is condensation when you take it out.. yuo can get them too cold | 01:06 |
| Zylstra555 | pelo: I know, I am using Ubuntu to back up my data first... if It helps you to know, I have a semi-high PC knowledge level, just not exactly so much when it comes to Linux... | 01:06 |
| Avt | pelo 2 hours ago | 01:06 |

| Pelo | Avt, clean install ubuntu and then come back so we can tell you how to get mpg files to play properly in ff , the nice clean way | 01:06 |
| * Zylstra555 would describe and accurately compair Ubuntu to being stabbed in the lower knee with a knife... | 01:06 | |
| genii | Jack_Sparrow: I generally suck all the air out of the bag with a straw after I've duct-taped an opening around the plugs | 01:07 |
| JensenDied | Zylstra555: many debian users would agree | 01:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hdevalence: the real question.. was it running when you dropped it? | 01:07 |
| Pelo | Zylstra555, what ? | 01:07 |
| Avt | pelo is there a tutorial online for ff???? | 01:07 |
| * Zylstra555 just so happens to have a soar knee at the moment... | 01:07 | |

| Avt | I been in here for two hours and im going on a trip tonight 12 midnight | 01:07 |
| kitofhawaii | genii: never stick a drive in the freezer. all drives have a breathing hole on them, and relative humidity in a drive is the same as outside the drive. you get condensation and possibly ice, regardless of a ziplock bag | 01:07 |
| Pelo | Avt, not realy basicaly just he line sudo apt-get intall mozilla-mplayer && apt-get remove totem-mozilla should do it | 01:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hdevalence: a spinning drive... you probably lost the head | 01:08 |
| Pelo | morphir, once you open the image, in the image windows under files | 01:08 |
| Avt | k | 01:08 |
| Pelo | Avt, that was just one line of command btw | 01:08 |
| loke | kitofhawaii: Freezing a drive is a last-resort solution if the drive has failed and will be replaced. | 01:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kitofhawaii: I agree... you need to keep them cool... but not in a freezer | 01:08 |
| evanotten | ok i have successfully installed emeral themer | 01:09 |

| loke | naes: You don't restart x to apply a theme. | 01:10 |
| naes | yea, but mine does .. | 01:10 |
| Avt | pelo? | 01:10 |
| genii | kitofhawaii: It's usually a last-ditch attempt at that point anyhow so I don't really care much if it lives longer than 1/2 hr or so | 01:10 |
| naes | the windows borders dont show up until i restart x.. | 01:10 |
| Pelo | evanotten, btw for compiz related stuff , you get better help in #compiz-fusion | 01:10 |
| evanotten | restart x, ? | 01:10 |

| Dethlok | when you "suspend" your computer what all exactly is it doing? | 01:11 |
| spiffman | whenever my computer does something fullscreen, like a game or even screensaver, i can see the blocky outline of my panels and any semi-transparent windows... anyone else get that? | 01:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nilihanth: blacklist | 01:11 |
| nilihanth | hmm | 01:11 |
| Pelo | Dethlok, ti copies your ram to the swap and turns of fthe cpu more or less | 01:11 |
| juano__ | Dethlok: i believe turning off monitor, lowering power to hdd | 01:11 |
| Avt | im leaving pretty soon so I want to get this goin | 01:11 |
| yumbaman | does anyone play World of Warcraft over a firewall? | 01:11 |
| Pelo | spiffman, running compiz ? | 01:12 |
| spiffman | pelo, yes | 01:12 |
| nilihanth | Jack_Sparrow: what is "blacklist"? | 01:12 |
| kitofhawaii | loke and genii: fair enough, but usually we use peltier plates to accomplish that, not a residential freezer | 01:12 |
| Dethlok | is it good for your computer to use that when you are afk for long durations or just leaving it run normally? | 01:12 |
| Pelo | spiffman, turn them off and see if it still happens | 01:12 |
| Avt | pelo can I repair install so it keep my background ect | 01:12 |
| Pelo | Avt, jsut backup yoru /home folder | 01:12 |
| Avt | o | 01:12 |
| juano__ | Dethlok: it is actually for that | 01:12 |
| spiffman | pelo you mean the panels and windows? if i close them, there's no problem | 01:12 |
| juano__ | Dethlok: when you don't want a full power-off | 01:12 |
| Iggz | HI. on loging in I get an error message regarding xserver being unble to be reached. startx gnome on the command prompt produces an error message saying unable to find nvidia - graphics driver I assume. I suppose this m,emans that the driver is currupted? And if so what is the commandline to pull and reinstall it? Or is there a simpler solution? :-) | 01:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nilihanth: not sure if that is what you want but... To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add " blacklist <modulename> " to the end of that list - | 01:12 |
| loke | Dethlok: I think the only benefit is that you don't have a noisy computer, or kill a laptop battery. | 01:12 |
| gkennyj | greetings | 01:13 |
| evanotten | pelo, i just did something and i am back lol i am so confused man | 01:13 |
| yumbaman | Who plays World of Warcraft? | 01:13 |
| Pelo | spiffman, I mean turn off the desktop effects , and see if it still happnes | 01:13 |
| Dethlok | so the cpu, ram and hdd's never actually shut down they just slow down | 01:13 |
| Dethlok | i play world of warcraft | 01:13 |
| Pelo | evanotten, what did you do ? | 01:13 |
| yumbaman | do you play on ubuntu? | 01:13 |
| Dethlok | yep | 01:13 |
| yumbaman | over a firewall? | 01:13 |
| evanotten | clean install buttons | 01:13 |
| Dethlok | flawlessly | 01:13 |
| evanotten | wow i am cool | 01:14 |
| yumbaman | Dethlok, over a socks proxy before? | 01:14 |
| Dethlok | a firewall, i dont think, i never set one up so im guessing no | 01:14 |
| nilihanth | Jack_Sparrow: I dont see a "my_blacklist" file, but I do see a couple others with "blacklist" in the names | 01:14 |
| yumbaman | oh, im at school trying to play | 01:14 |
| evanotten | so yeah no luck on the install of the new theme guess i should go to compiz irc? | 01:14 |
| yumbaman | i know of only one way so far and that is OpenVPN | 01:15 |
| Pelo | evanotten, the compiz ppl will know exactly how you install an emerald theme yes, #compiz-fusion | 01:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nilihanth: Perhaps a description of the probem you are trying to fix.. | 01:15 |
| yumbaman | i only have OpenSSH install | 01:15 |
| MasterShrek | evanotten: do you have the emerald themes manager installed? | 01:15 |
| Dethlok | hmmm, im guessing the firewall won't let you connect to the game? | 01:15 |
| yumbaman | yea | 01:15 |
| evanotten | yeah just installed it but it doesnt show up | 01:15 |
| yumbaman | only ports 80 and 443 out | 01:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !firewall | 01:15 |
| 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). | 01:15 |
| evanotten | it downloaded from synaptic | 01:15 |
| evanotten | noob ftw | 01:15 |
| nilihanth | Jack_Sparrow: Ok, I have 2 LAN controllers and one gives me problems but it is the first that the NM wants to connect to. | 01:15 |
| loke | evanotten: press alt+f2 then type emerald-theme-manager in the box | 01:15 |
| nilihanth | Jack_Sparrow: sometimes it locks up my machine even | 01:16 |
| nilihanth | Jack_Sparrow: I found a file called "blacklist" in /etc/modprobe.d/ | 01:16 |
| spiffman | pelo, if i turn all effects off, it works fine | 01:16 |
| evanotten | k i got that up | 01:16 |
| nilihanth | Jack_Sparrow: it has things like "blacklist snd_intel8x0m" in it...is that what I want? | 01:16 |
| naes | evan all you do is drag the emerald theme into the emerald theme manager | 01:17 |
| Pelo | spiffman, I think you need to ask in #compiz-fusion if there is a way to turn off windows transparency whn you have something running fullscreen | 01:17 |
| === bruenig is now known as Evanlec_ | ||
| evanotten | ok i see a screenshot of the them and the info i.e engine is pixmap | 01:17 |

| Pelo | evanotten, go ansd ask in #compiz-fusion | 01:19 |

| evanotten | k i will check it out | 01:19 |

| WildnQIk | how do i edit my ports for what is open ? | 01:19 |

| xtknight | loke, indeed lol i asked u the same thing an hr ago, u must have missed it | 01:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nilihanth: sorry , I was reading.. you mean like lspci or lsusb | 01:20 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Pelo: I usually try the config with startx ... is that wrong.? | 01:21 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, but yes use restricted manager for drivers | 01:21 |
| chaosrl | how would i do that? | 01:22 |
| logankoester | Is ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso a livecd? | 01:22 |

| chaosrl | xtknight: if it helps, i used the guide from "mylittleubuntuguide" to try to get suspend/hibernate | 01:23 |
| chaosrl | which didn't work either :P | 01:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nilihanth: make a backup of your old file | 01:23 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, hmm so it told you to install official fglrx to suspend? | 01:23 |
| chaosrl | i thought it was kind of wierd, but i guess so | 01:24 |
| xtknight | anyone know if the ATI linux .run drivers support --uninstall from command line? | 01:24 |

| bobbob1016 | How can I see how fast my connection to my router is? I know this sounds weird, but I am using a powerline networking device, since I don't want to buy wifi for everything in my room. I think since the adapter is rated for 85mbps, the switch I have here might be setting it to 10mbps. Any one know how I can find out? | 01:27 |
| loke | WildnQIk: Right click on the clock -> adjust time and date. Make sure you choose "manual" instead of synchronized, then adjust as you see fit. | 01:27 |
| embed | Sorry, I meant after GRUB/LILO - I don't understand what happens (and how) when "init" is called | 01:27 |
| chaosrl | xtknight so use that line of code you just said? | 01:28 |

| xtknight | chaosrl, been a while :) | 01:32 |
| Pelo | papatroll, not sure how you would get wine to find the hardware, maybe the ppl in #winehq cna help on this but I doudt it | 01:32 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, umm what are the filenames of each one? paste or pastebin | 01:32 |
| Dethlok | thank you loke i will try it out | 01:32 |

| chaosrl | xtknight: there are four of them | 01:32 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, paste in a single line w/ commas here | 01:33 |
| papatroll | wine was a shot in the dark it just sounded logical i have no linux exp to know if that would even work | 01:33 |
| shittingBull | hi. ubuntu n00b here. been using debian for many years on servers. having some starter problems. screen blacks on inital kernel boot. anything to share? | 01:33 |
| Pelo | papatroll, I think you would still need linux to recognise the camera before wine would run your app and access the device | 01:33 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: xorg-driver-fglrx-dev_8.433-1_amd64.deb, xorg-driver-fglrx_8.433-1)amd64.deb, fglrx-kernel-source_8.433-1_amd64.deb, fglrx-amdcccle_8.433-1_amd64.deb | 01:34 |
| Pelo | papatroll, did you try the spcaxx driver and the camaroma app to get your webcam working ? | 01:34 |
| chaosrl | in that second one it's and underscore and not a paren | 01:34 |

| tsukasa | hey how do i browse a nfs share via terminal | 01:34 |
| shittingBull | help plz? | 01:34 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, to convert deb filename to pkg generally you just remove version # and arch (i386/amd64/all) | 01:34 |
| papatroll | i dont know waht spaxx is and camorama domnt seem to do anything | 01:34 |
| Pelo | shittingBull, actual question please | 01:35 |

| xtknight | another pc? | 01:36 |
| chaosrl | failsafe | 01:36 |
| Pelo | shittingBull, not sure all nvidia cards are covered by the driver in x64, you might need i386 | 01:36 |
| * Atrum1306 how are you all doing | 01:36 | |

| chaosrl | xtknight: i've alread removed fglrx from there, if that helps | 01:37 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, remove the line DISABLED_MODULES=”fglrx” | 01:37 |
| xtknight | ok | 01:37 |
| chaosrl | it just says | 01:37 |
| Pelo | shittingBull, same comment, try i386 instead of amd64 | 01:37 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, ya it's good if it says disabled but not fglrx | 01:37 |
| chaosrl | DISABLED_MODULES="" | 01:37 |
| xtknight | as long as fg isnt in there | 01:37 |
| shittingBull | not the alternate text one? | 01:37 |
| chaosrl | ok | 01:37 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, umm, alright now let's try restricted manager | 01:37 |
| embed | thanks Pelo - need to understand what happens after grub executes - init called, etc... | 01:37 |
| Pelo | shittingBull, alernate install cd for the i386 version of ubuntu | 01:37 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, gksu restricted-manager | 01:37 |
| Pelo | embed, better question | 01:38 |
| chaosrl | ok | 01:38 |
| shittingBull | k. tnx. ill try that | 01:38 |
| Pelo | embed, start with the issue that is making you ask | 01:38 |
| embed | pelo, ok - it looks like /inittab is gone in 7.1 - what is the order now ? | 01:38 |
| jon_ | onnell | 01:38 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: i have 2 drivers listed: ATI accelerated graphics driver and Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL) and both are enabled and in use | 01:38 |
| Pelo | embed, that has nothign to do with grub, and in init.d I beleive is what you need | 01:38 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, hmm ok go back to console, type "sudo rmmod fglrx" a couple times to make sure current fglrx is gone | 01:39 |
| kelsin | embed: ubuntu uses upstart now, but the init starting order for unlevel too is by file order in /etc/rc2.d | 01:39 |
| chaosrl | ok, the first time it just gave me a new command line line, and the second time it told eme the moduel doesn't exist | 01:39 |
| embed | pelo, so when "init" is called does it execute all the scripts in "init.d" ? | 01:39 |
| * Pelo thinks embed better listen to kelsin | 01:39 | |
| xtknight | chaosrl, sudo apt-get --reinstall install xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | 01:39 |
| Pelo | embed, Ithe rc levels , which are jsut symlinks for the stuff in init,d | 01:40 |
| embed | pelo, i just dont understand | 01:40 |
| kelsin | embed: ubuntu now uses upstart, google it for the small amount of info on the web there is. I don't know the startup order but the upstart jobs are in /etc/event.d | 01:40 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: i'm getting E: Unmet dependencies. Try "apt-get -f install" with no packages (or specify a solution). | 01:40 |
| onats | whats the command to resolve the hostname of an ip? | 01:40 |
| rockoman | hey can somebody help me? | 01:40 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, can you paste the whole thing on pastebin ? | 01:40 |
| Pelo | embed, this isn'T realy my thing, I think kelsin understands this stuff better | 01:40 |
| kelsin | embed: once the rc2 job is started though the script in /etc/rc2.d get called in alpha order | 01:40 |
| embed | ok thanks | 01:40 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: sorry, what's pastebin? | 01:41 |
| xtknight | !pastebin | chaosrl | 01:41 |

| TheMasticator | can I apt-get crossover? | 01:41 |
| rockoman | i just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my desktop, and when it attempts to load i get a "OUT OF RANGE" error. Can someone help me? | 01:41 |
| det4100 | How does one get nmbd to run at startup, instead of starting it up manually after logging on to session? | 01:41 |
| chaosrl | !pastebin | chaosrl | 01:41 |
| Pelo | TheMasticator, crossover is propriatary, apt is only for free stuff, you can get wine from apt-get | 01:41 |
| Pelo | rockoman, you need to change the horiz sync values in your xorg.conf file to match that of your monitor | 01:42 |
| TheMasticator | oh gotcha! Photoshop in Wine keeps telling me I am missing personalization information | 01:42 |
| bazhang | rockoman: that means that your monitor is trying for a resolution your card is not set up for or does not support | 01:42 |
| rockoman | I read that online, I dont know how to change it ;/ | 01:42 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: like this? | 01:42 |
| chaosrl | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48026/ | 01:42 |
| kelsin | TheMasticator: have you check the wine appdb to see if there is a solution for that? | 01:42 |
| kelsin | !appdb | TheMasticator | 01:42 |
| ubotu | TheMasticator: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 01:42 |
| bazhang | rockoman: and listen to Pelo on this | 01:42 |
| Pelo | rockoman, boot the recovery mode, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf look for the horiz sync line and cange the values, you probablay only need to change the high value | 01:42 |
| TheMasticator | thanks guys, I haven't only googled it and found nothing | 01:43 |
| Pelo | rockoman, check the label on the back of your monitor fo rthe info or the manual or the maker's website | 01:43 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, apparently one pkg slipped thru our hands: fglrx-kernel-2.6.22-14-generic | 01:43 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, sudo dpkg --purge --force-all fglrx-kernel-2.6.22-14-generic | 01:43 |
| * Pelo is batting 1 tonight | 01:43 | |
| rockoman | when i boot to recovery mode, it stops loading after it shows "101.606024 ====================" | 01:43 |
| Pelo | rockoman, is this a clean install ? | 01:44 |
| xtknight | (that's a timestamp) | 01:44 |
| rockoman | yeah | 01:44 |
| Pelo | rockoman, install again | 01:44 |
| bjbum | hello all. this is my 2nd day of ubuntu linux (longtime mac user). having trouble getting sound to work (gutsy 64, intel hd audio controller) :'( | 01:44 |
| rockoman | i already did that ;/ | 01:44 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: ok. should i retry the command you sent earlier? | 01:44 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, nope | 01:44 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, just the last one | 01:44 |
| rockoman | i also used to alternative iso | 01:44 |
| Pelo | rockoman, you can try from the alternate isntall cd , it is text based and is usualy less touchy about hardware when installing | 01:44 |
| chaosrl | xtknight, i've purged the last one now | 01:44 |
| rockoman | because the live CD would freeze before it would get me to the live desktop | 01:44 |
| Ttech | bjbum, restricted drivers | 01:44 |
| * Pelo is getting annoyed at rockoman | 01:44 | |
| Ttech | synaptic | 01:44 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, sudo apt-get --reinstall install xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | 01:44 |
| xtknight | ok now try this | 01:44 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, i gues if thats what u meant by last cmd, ya | 01:45 |
| Pelo | rockoman, is this a laptop ? | 01:45 |
| rockoman | nope | 01:45 |
| Pelo | rockoman, older pc ? | 01:45 |
| rockoman | i installed ubuntu fine on my laptop | 01:45 |
| rockoman | about a year old | 01:45 |
| Pelo | rockoman, what videocard ? | 01:45 |
| chaosrl | xtknight, it's finished | 01:45 |
| rockoman | radeon 1300 series | 01:45 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, ok, do you know how to configure your xorg to use fglrx? | 01:45 |
| Pelo | rockoman, can you get the command line from anywhere ? | 01:45 |
| Ttech | Does anyone know of a better Gnome (Ubuntu) menu editor? | 01:46 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: not really? i've been through dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg a couple of times, but niether time went very smoothly | 01:46 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, ok | 01:46 |
| rockoman | let me see | 01:46 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, try "gksu restricted-manager" now | 01:46 |
| localgod11 | how do i exit and save changed in iv? | 01:46 |
| Pelo | Ttech, Itink that main-menu is it | 01:46 |
| Pelo | localgod11, try crtl x or q | 01:47 |
| Ttech | the menu editor? No other programs to edit the menu? | 01:47 |
| localgod11 | no | 01:47 |
| chaosrl | xtknight, it shows the same two as before, but now the ATI accelerated graphics driver is Enabled, but Not in use | 01:47 |
| bjbum | Ttech, is restricted drivers a package in synaptic? because the restricted drivers manager thing from the system menu, nothing shows up. only my graphics card and wireless card (both proprietaries are being used) | 01:47 |
| rockoman | when im at the bootscreen and i press "ESC" i can press C to get to a command-line | 01:47 |
| rockoman | thats about it | 01:47 |
| Pelo | Ttech, not that I know of | 01:47 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, ok that's good. try enabling now and you should be good | 01:47 |
| localgod11 | i do that sand it says ^mode | 01:47 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, in the future always use restricted manager to install proprietary drivers, (if) possible | 01:47 |
| Pelo | rockoman, ok sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , sselect the vesa driver and for everthing else stick to the defaults | 01:47 |
| localgod11 | X^mode | 01:47 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: should i uncheck the enabled box and then recheck it? | 01:47 |
| bjbum | i've compiled the latest asla as it says here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 01:48 |
| bjbum | but still no go :'( | 01:48 |
| rockoman | Error 27: Unrecognized Command ;'/ | 01:48 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, hmm i guess? is there a way to tell it to use the driver? | 01:48 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, i cant remember, im not using restricted right now | 01:48 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: yah, i'll probably not mess with my install until hh or a sure fix for suspend comes out | 01:48 |
| Pelo | bjbum, menu > system> admin ( or prefs ) sound > check to make sure you card is selected in for all the kind of sounds | 01:48 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, unenable and then reenable, then see if it notifies you of anything like "reboot to try your new restricted drivers" or whatever | 01:48 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: yeah, i'ts asking for a reboot | 01:49 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, ok , well, reboot ;) | 01:49 |
| Pelo | rockoman, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , just incase I misstyped earlier | 01:49 |
| chaosrl | i guess i'll go ahead and reboot and come back and let you know. thanks though! | 01:49 |
| xtknight | should be fine after that | 01:49 |
| xtknight | yea | 01:49 |
| xtknight | ok | 01:49 |
| rockoman | same error | 01:49 |
| rockoman | its at a grub> command thing | 01:49 |
| Pelo | rockoman, hmm | 01:50 |
| Pelo | rockoman, I give up | 01:50 |
| rockoman | ;/ | 01:50 |
| Pelo | sorry | 01:50 |
| rockoman | ive tried to install different linux's also and it freezes on the live cd ;/ | 01:51 |
| * Pelo feels like the total and uther failure that he is , | 01:51 | |
| rockoman | i cant figure out why | 01:51 |
| Pelo | live cd do not include ati or nvidia drivers because they are propriatary and livecd only include FOSS stuff | 01:51 |
| bjbum | Pelo, i've tried them all on oss, asla. still doesn't work :( | 01:51 |
| Pelo | bjbum, did yo try with the !sound troubler shooti8ng guide first ? | 01:52 |
| rockoman | if it helps i cant access a Shell prompt when i use the alternative cd | 01:52 |
| rockoman | *i CAN | 01:52 |
| === jugh3ad is now known as jughead | ||
| === reconnect is now known as recon | ||
| rockoman | if that helps? | 01:52 |
| Pelo | rockoman, try installing from the alternate install cd again, see how far you get, make a note of the dpkg-reconfigure line and run that after you have finished the install | 01:52 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: Success! Thank you so much! | 01:52 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, glad i could make it a success ;P | 01:53 |
| xtknight | those are always good words to hea r | 01:53 |
| rockoman | i tried that already too ;/, i didnt even see the configure for the video when i installed | 01:53 |
| chaosrl | xtknight: i actually had one more question: what does gksu do? | 01:53 |
| naes | rockoman sometimes when i install it hangs up in the installation process if you wait it will usually go through though it seems it wont, or just start it over, evertime it has "hanged" on a comp for me it has eventually gone through or gone through after restarting | 01:53 |
| * Pelo congradulaes xtknight for getting his noob back on track | 01:53 | |
| xtknight | chaosrl, it is the graphical version of sudo, aka gksudo and gksu... same thing. they should be used when running GUI programs thru sudo | 01:53 |
| r3n0c | can somebody help me with connecting from an ubuntu comp to windows, via vncviewer | 01:54 |
| Odd-rationale | How do I "include '/usr/games' in the PATH enviroment variable? | 01:54 |
| chaosrl | so sudo gedit would be the same thing as gksu gedit, right? | 01:54 |
| r3n0c | the windows comp has a password | 01:54 |
| Pelo | rockoman, you don'T get a configure for the video when you install from the alt cd or the live one | 01:54 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: are you getting an error? | 01:54 |
| r3n0c | but vncviewer doesn't allow for a password | 01:54 |
| ilfat_g | +n | 01:54 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, well gksu is safer to use. sudo could potentially do something bad, i dont know, at least that's what they say | 01:54 |
| xtknight | (hint: sudo is probably fine0 | 01:54 |
| rockoman | oh ;/ | 01:54 |
| chaosrl | haha, ok | 01:54 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, i just don't know how to input a password into the vncviewer | 01:54 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: if you just do "vncviewer <windows.ip>" it will ask for a password if it needs one | 01:55 |
| rockoman | naes, i've tried three different linux's and they all stop at the same place, i'ved waited for it to kick back up, but it doesnt ;/ | 01:55 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, it totally doesn't tho | 01:55 |
| Pelo | rockoman, the alt-cd insatlls all theway thought then reboot , if you get the desktop fine, if you dont, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and selesct the vesa | 01:55 |
| Pelo | rockoman, where does the install stop ? | 01:55 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, it says no matching security types | 01:55 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: that's because you're using the free enterprise realvnc on windows | 01:56 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: go download the tightvnc for windows vncserver, it will work | 01:56 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, it is not the freeversion... full version | 01:56 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: well then that's def the reason | 01:56 |
| rockoman | when i use the live cd, it freezes BEFORE the desktop comes up, i used the alt CD and it finishes installing, but when it goes to load Ubuntu, it shows me the "Out of Range" Error | 01:56 |
| rockoman | and i try to goto a command, but the command terminal wont show up under recovery | 01:56 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: they don't let anything but their client connect, so you'll need to install their linux client, or use another vnc server on windows | 01:56 |
| Pelo | rockoman, when you get the hout of range error, do you get a command line prompt ? | 01:56 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: I don't think their current client is packaged for ubuntu at all | 01:57 |
| rockoman | nope, just a black screen that says out of range | 01:57 |
| Pelo | rockoman, how do you try to get the recovery mode ? | 01:57 |
| rockoman | i press during the GRUB countdown | 01:57 |
| Pelo | rockoman, press what ? | 01:58 |
| rockoman | esc | 01:58 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, o ok, so if i dl tightvnc on the windows box it'll work? | 01:58 |
| Pelo | rockoman, ok | 01:58 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: yes, I do know for sure that the error you got is due to using a free client on windows trying to connect to the enterprise realvnc server on windows | 01:58 |
| TheMasticator | Woh, Photoshop 7.0 works SO fast using Wine... I never would've imagined | 01:58 |
| rockoman | is there something i can edit the commands before booting? | 01:58 |
| juano__ | TheMasticator: 7.0 is pretty old | 01:59 |
| kelsin | TheMasticator: wine isn't an emulator, what it's doing shouldn't result in a speed slowdown, just a "a lot of things don't work" problem | 01:59 |
| Pelo | rockoman, boot he alt cd, select eh command line, mount the ubuntu partition, ( sudo mkdir /mnt/ubu /dev/hda1 , or whatever it is ) then, cd /mnt/ubu/etc/X11 , sudo nano xorg.conf , find hte horiz sync line and change it for the range of your monitor | 01:59 |
| kelsin | TheMasticator: hence wine able to run a lot of games just fine | 01:59 |
| juano__ | TheMasticator: CS2 is the newest | 01:59 |
| rockoman | k give me a minute | 01:59 |
| TheMasticator | yeah, I know 7 is just all I have | 02:00 |
| TheMasticator | and it runs faster in linux using wine than windows XP or Vista | 02:00 |
| Pelo | rockoman, you do realise that I am making this up as I go at this time | 02:00 |
| spiffman | juano__ there's cs3 now | 02:00 |
| juano__ | TheMasticator: heh | 02:00 |
| rockoman | lol ;/ | 02:00 |
| juano__ | spiffman: yep CS3 | 02:00 |
| juano__ | spiffman: your right | 02:00 |
| Iggz | Hi,can anyone tell me if there is a cammand line to disable 3d desk-top effects from the recovery screen? :-) | 02:01 |
| rockoman | when i use the CD should i select "install a command-line system"? | 02:01 |
| Pelo | rockoman, I'm in heavy troubleshooting mode ATM, try stuff and see if you can get a way to fix the problem | 02:01 |
| Iggz | *command | 02:01 |
| juano__ | spiffman: didn't know it was completely out in a stable version though | 02:01 |
| Pelo | Iggz, the ppl in #compiz-fusion probably know | 02:01 |
| spiffman | juano__ it is, well for windows... haven't tried it in wine yet | 02:01 |
| Iggz | pelo: thanks | 02:01 |
| Pelo | rockoman, I thnk you can run a command line from the cd , witouht installing, | 02:02 |
| juano__ | spiffman: i see, i tried dreamweaver with wine and flash, none worked | 02:02 |
| bazhang | http://www.hotubuntunews.com/blog_03.shtml rockoman for dapper but should still apply for gutsy | 02:02 |
| rockoman | i dont see it anywhere | 02:02 |
| chaosrl | i guess since i'm here and procrastinating studying for finals, does anyone know how to get battle.net for starcraft to work in ubuntu? | 02:02 |
| Pelo | rockoman, but if you want you can try installing a command line system and if that goes whell we can try intalling a desktop ontop afterwards | 02:02 |
| spiffman | juano__ what happened when you tried to run/install them? | 02:02 |
| rockoman | bazhang, i already saw that site, thank you, but i cant get to a command | 02:03 |
| Pelo | rockoman, following me one this ? | 02:03 |
| rockoman | yep | 02:03 |
| rockoman | i'll install the command system | 02:03 |
| Oerllikon | anyone know much about ubuntu themes for nokias? | 02:03 |
| juano__ | spiffman: eemm... i installed fine, but then i tried running and nothing it just didn't do nothing at all... , but there was a waring message at installation sayin dreamweaver needed IE4 or something like that, but i read that you can ignore that and it won't affect running | 02:03 |
| Pelo | rockoman, I'mgoing to bed in 30 min , I'll wait for you as long as I can | 02:04 |
| rockoman | k thank you | 02:04 |

| ari_stress | morning all :D | 02:05 |
| chaosrl | Oerllikon, are you looking for ubuntu-esque themes for nokia phones? | 02:05 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, i just dl'd the enterprise edition of vnc on the linux box, supports the 128bit encryption which is on the windows one | 02:05 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, and it connects fine | 02:05 |
| Oerllikon | yep | 02:05 |
| Pelo | evanotten, go back into appearsnce, select the theme tab , customise button at the botom, check under controls | 02:05 |
| r3n0c | evanotten, there is an ubuntu cygwin forum | 02:05 |
| spiffman | juano__ dang... i haven't tried very large wine apps, except worms armageddon :P which did some strange things | 02:05 |
| r3n0c | evanotten, on irc | 02:05 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: so now you just want to remove the one on ubuntu? | 02:05 |
| papuccino1 | Hello | 02:05 |
| Oerllikon | i have an osx one right now | 02:05 |
| chaosrl | what kind of phone do you have? | 02:05 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, yeah, b/c i wanna install the enterprise edition | 02:05 |
| chaosrl | and have you googled for one? | 02:06 |
| r3n0c | but autoremove vncviewer doesn't work | 02:06 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: so you havn't installed the enterprise edition yet? Does it overwrite the ubuntu one or something? | 02:06 |
| Oerllikon | its a nokia 6555b | 02:06 |
| papuccino1 | Just wanted to ask one quick question: If my Live CD installer get's stuck on language selection on my laptop is it because of the small RAM I have? Would the alternate (text-based) installer work? | 02:06 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, i didn't install it, i just extracted it to desktop, it is a standalone app | 02:06 |
| Oerllikon | yea, the one i found was just an ubuntu symbol with the previous theme | 02:06 |
| kelsin | papuccino1: trying the alternate text-mode installer is always a good idea for stalls on the live cd version | 02:06 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, but i wanna make it so tat i can type vncviewer in terminal to run it | 02:06 |
| r3n0c | an dit is currently pointing to the free version | 02:07 |
| Pelo | papuccino1, yes | 02:07 |
| papuccino1 | Thank you very much kelsin. Downloading it right now from the torrent. =) | 02:07 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: i would place it in /usr/local/bin, that comes ahead of /usr/bin in the path | 02:07 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, yeah, but how do i get rid of the vncviewer that came with ubuntu | 02:07 |
| papuccino1 | Ok, see ya later. | 02:07 |
| kelsin | papuccino1: the installer steps are identical so it's just as easy (imo) but will get you a system to debug if there is an issue | 02:07 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, they are both called "vncviewer" | 02:07 |
| papuccino1 | Yeah, I read in this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/I386 | 02:07 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: "sudo aptitude search vnc" to find which vnc packages are installed, then remove them like you were doing with the right package names | 02:08 |
| papuccino1 | Thank you again. Ubuntu rocks so far. I love it. =D | 02:08 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, thanks | 02:08 |
| juano__ | spiffman: i think wine is a bit worse then they put it... never really *worked* for me | 02:08 |
| Oerllikon | wordi love ubuntu | 02:08 |
| kelsin | r3n0c: you can also do "dpkg -S /usr/bin/vncviewer" I think to find which package owns the ubuntu one | 02:08 |
| debaser | juano__: wine is still in beta | 02:08 |
| chaosrl | Oerllikon have you tried making your own? http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/7e78403b-ce27-42c3-ba3c-d8629da7622a/Nokia_Series_40_Theme_Studio.html | 02:08 |
| * Pelo just sits here and soaks up the love | 02:08 | |
| chaosrl | or is that not a Series 40? | 02:08 |
| kelsin | juano__: still in beta like debaser said but even so it runs all my blizzard games, so I'm happy | 02:09 |
| chaosrl | i don't know much about nokias | 02:09 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, the second one dpkg... is not found | 02:09 |
| Oerllikon | i think its series 60 | 02:09 |
| juano__ | debaser: kelsin yeh, ive been able to run some games though thats true | 02:09 |
| spiffman | juano__ yea, i think it was more directed towards specific apps, like photoshop, rather than every windows app | 02:09 |
| Oerllikon | it doesnt recognize .sis files, the more common ones | 02:09 |
| juano__ | spiffman: i agree | 02:09 |
| debaser | juano__, kelsin: that's mostly a "courtesy" from the developers, only technically is still in beta | 02:10 |
| r3n0c | kelsin, found it, the built in one is called xvnc4viewer | 02:10 |
| papuccino1 | One more question please: What are the absolute specs needed for Ubuntu 7.10 to run decently. I don't need the extra compiz, just the normal with a little animation going on. Nothing too fancy. Would it run ok on: 256Mb RAM, 1.2Ghz processor, 20Gb hard disk laptop? | 02:10 |

| Oerllikon | thanks, i thought about that, but i figured it would be over my head | 02:11 |

| marc | it starts to load everything it seems | 02:31 |
| SpookyET | kelsin: deb. That's why I have both listed under Versions in the package properties in Synaptic. I can switch between them. For example, I have libgtk2.0-0 version 2.12.0-1ubuntu3.1 (now) and 2.12.0-1ubuntu3 (gutsy). I want to uninstall the (now). | 02:31 |
| kelsin | silent_: ussually something like ~/.wine/drive_c or somethin glike that, browse around in ~/.wine | 02:31 |

| marc | after i select recovery mode and it stops? | 02:32 |
| silent_ | kelsin: Do I have to cd to the directory to execute the binary, or does wine somehow register installed binaries? | 02:32 |

| kelsin | SpookyET: how did you install it in the first place? | 02:35 |
| SpookyET | deb | 02:35 |
| scguy318 | marc: until Ubuntu finishes loading, since getty for tty1-9 hasn't started | 02:35 |
| kahrytan | evanotten➲ not to be confused with pigeon | 02:35 |
| scguy318 | marc: eventually you should get a login prompt | 02:35 |

| scguy318 | sieben: using Visual Studio? not at all | 02:36 |
| scguy318 | sieben: you could possibly compile via Mono tho | 02:36 |
| spiffman | Fawkesfyre your boot order in bios is correct? i plugged in an external and it wouldn't load grub, it was trying to boot from THAT drive | 02:36 |
| sieben | yeah im trying to get it to run in mono, but i need to fix something | 02:36 |
| SpookyET | kelsin: deb, but they are not listed as 2 separate debs. they are listed under the same package, but it allows you to choose between the versions | 02:36 |
| kelsin | SpookyET: oh like individual deb? not adding a 3rdparty repo? | 02:36 |
| sieben | but i need to recompile | 02:36 |
| scguy318 | sieben: Visual Studio 2003 and above simply do not work on Wine unfortunately | 02:36 |
| Fawkesfyre | spiffman hmm could be | 02:36 |
| SpookyET | kelsin: Yeah. individual deb. | 02:36 |
| juano__ | IanLiu: you need to install sun-jre-6 package | 02:36 |
| elrics_fate | #0 | 02:36 |
| sieben | ok, i guess i have to reboot, fix it, reboot and test =/ | 02:36 |
| elrics_fate | join #0 | 02:36 |
| kelsin | SpookyET: and it's still there after you "Reload" in synaptic? | 02:36 |
| IanLiu | juano__: ok, I will try, thanks | 02:37 |
| kelsin | SpookyET: also try search for the deb file on your system and removing it from the apt cache | 02:37 |
| scguy318 | marc: just "======..."? | 02:37 |
| marc | yep | 02:37 |

| SpookyET | kelsin: I don't see apt-cache remove | 02:38 |
| IanLiu | juano__: I found it. sun-java6-jre | 02:38 |
| Fawkesfyre | spiffman nope didnt fix anything | 02:38 |
| IanLiu | juano__: Thanks | 02:38 |
| juano__ | IanLiu: there we go ;) | 02:38 |

| spiffman | Fawkesfyre you booting more than one os on this drive? | 02:39 |
| scguy318 | leachim6: make sure to edit menu.lst as root by doing gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 02:39 |

| scguy318 | marc: you might have bad memory | 02:42 |
| Fawkesfyre | spiffman: thanks ;) | 02:42 |
| rexus | can you guys provide some links? | 02:42 |
| scguy318 | marc: I had issues like this on a machine, that's what the cause was | 02:43 |
| kelsin | rexus: ubuntu maintains all packages that are official and you can search on packages.ubuntu.com | 02:43 |
| naes | there are instances where systems get "broken" | 02:43 |
| marc | oh ;/ | 02:43 |

| leachim6 | apparently not | 02:43 |
| brennanc | I am getting a "udev-event[2165] : run_program: 'sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" when attempting to install the latest Ubuntu release | 02:43 |
| scguy318 | marc: there should be memtest on the Ubuntu CD | 02:43 |
| dafyre | Howdy all. | 02:43 |
| naes | but usually its fine, backup before hand would be smart.. | 02:43 |
| marc | yeah im running it now | 02:43 |
| brennanc | on a machine that ran a previous version (6.0 i think) | 02:43 |
| marc | my computer is an emachines t5010, with a radeon 1300 video card | 02:43 |
| kelsin | rexus: you won't find any other big repositories, just smaller ones meant for specific purposes like certain media programs, or individual pieces of software | 02:43 |
| fimmtiu | I'm unable to compile working programs on a new gutsy desktop install, because malloc() keeps scribbling on the stack of anything I compile.

| rexus | what are the differences between gutsy and gutsy-backports ? | 02:45 |
| aoeuhtns | the ubuntu standard orange/brown destroys my color theme... | 02:45 |
| rexus | btw, I just got a CD from ubuntu, and the version is 7.10 | 02:45 |
| PriceChild | dafyre, don't over clock it... get more fans etc. | 02:45 |
| juano__ | !backports | rexus | 02:46 |
| ubotu | rexus: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 02:46 |
| rexus | is it gutsy? | 02:46 |
| kelsin | fimmtiu: I get the same results as you but I don't know near enough about c to know what's wrong | 02:46 |
| dafyre | lol. Thanks... Not overclocked (A) | 02:46 |
| dafyre | Poor old Pentium-M . | 02:46 |
| marc | mem test is at 50% | 02:46 |
| kelsin | rexus: gutsy backports is for packages from hardy that people backport to gutsy | 02:46 |
| juano__ | rexus: yes 7.10 is ubuntu's gutsy gibbon release | 02:46 |
| fimmtiu | Hmm! Thanks, kelsin. This is really getting troublesome. | 02:46 |

| rly | hey, how to install a printer/scanner? | 02:46 |
| Zikiti | I am on a very limited net connection and wanted to do a clean reinstall of gutsy. So I copied my /var/.../apt/cache and did "apt-ftpcahce..." to create a personal update repository to avoid having to redownload all updates. BUt some of the packages have a "%" sign in the file name and synaptics then reports that it can't find my update even though it'sthere. Am I missing something during the repository creation? | 02:46 |
| dafyre | Ubuntu 7.10. | 02:46 |
| eshaase | is there such thing as a standard packet tracing tool included by default in linux distributions? | 02:46 |
| dafyre | Runs great... until I start using it. | 02:46 |
| scguy318 | marc: let it run for a while | 02:47 |
| dafyre | eshaase... I prefer Wireshark or tcpdump. | 02:47 |
| marc | k | 02:47 |
| marc | i'll let u know when its done | 02:47 |
| kelsin | eshaase: tcpdump collects packages, and wireshark seems to be the favorite gui client | 02:47 |
| dafyre | Yes! @ Kelsin. | 02:47 |
| JT-SMC-OE | does anybody know of a program for linux to do text substition at the Window Manager level | 02:48 |
| Avt | I installed some lm tempatures thing but how I read it? | 02:48 |
| wy | any ideas about how to get the default size of emacs-gtk in the newest version of Ubuntu? All my former ways failed | 02:48 |
| eshaase | dafyre: tcpdump doesn't actually analyze packets though no? | 02:48 |
| JT-SMC-OE | I have a helpdesk where I put ticket template text into tickets.. but cant find anything for gnome | 02:49 |

| dafyre | eshaase: If you want to Analyze the packets, Wireshark is the way to go. | 02:49 |
| dafyre | I use tcpdump for actually doing the captures. | 02:49 |
| eshaase | but i'm looking for something installed by default | 02:49 |
| kelsin | fimmtiu: this is very odd, but if I add a print statement to print argc right before the return statement, I don't get that happening... | 02:49 |
| dafyre | (less cpu intensive). | 02:49 |
| scguy318 | marc: if it finds any errors, then memory is most definitely the culprit | 02:49 |
| dafyre | You can install tcpdump & wireshark from apt-get | 02:49 |
| jmaddude | hey I have a noob question-- which version of ubuntu can I download so that it will work on an old mach powerpc G4 laptop? | 02:50 |
| juano__ | rexus: yes, gutsy comes with built-in compiz | 02:50 |
| kelsin | eshaase: well ubuntu isn't the type of distro to include tcpdump by default, it's one line away | 02:50 |

| dafyre | IanLiu: I wound up having to download the install file from Adobe's website. | 02:52 |
| kelsin | fimmtiu: you said it was happening on a bigger test case, I assume then it's not just the compiler aggressivly freeing memory when it knows you're about to exit? | 02:52 |
| juano__ | rexus: yes, you will need to install from synaptic compiz-config-settings-manager to configure desktop cube and some other advanced effects | 02:52 |
| scguy318 | IanLiu, dafyre: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 | 02:52 |

| alex__ | can anyone help me with changing the font color of my gnome panel? | 02:53 |
| alex__ | i tried adding the .gtkrc-2.0 file and that didn't work | 02:53 |
| rexus | ok guys, here's the issue, my internet connection is limited to 1 Gig, so sometimes I need to collect the packages so that when I needed to re-install the whole ubuntu, I can just run that packages | 02:53 |
| kelsin | fimmtiu: very very odd, good luck with it :-( | 02:54 |
| jmaddude | which version of ubuntu can I download so that it will work on an old mac powerpc G4 laptop? | 02:54 |
| rexus | does the repository have that .deb file? | 02:54 |
| fimmtiu | Thanks. :-( | 02:54 |
| dafyre | scguy: Thanks. :) | 02:54 |
| chaosrl | jmaddude: gutsy should work fine i think, someone can correct me who knows more | 02:54 |
| kelsin | rexus: ubuntu comes on one cd, that's way under a gig | 02:54 |
| juano__ | rexus: you mean you want to donwload the deb files | 02:54 |
| naes | what kind of hardware specs jmaddude? | 02:54 |
| kelsin | rexus: or if you have a working ubuntu install you can tell apt-get to only download the packages and not install them | 02:55 |
| jmaddude | thanks, it just gives the option of intel or pentium | 02:55 |
| badkitty | how do I copy all the contents of a folder to the parent folder (similar to DOS: copy *.* c:\folder) without copying the folder | 02:55 |

| ubotu | rexus: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 02:55 |

| scguy318 | Avt: try running sudo sensors-detect | 02:55 |

| scguy318 | Avt: then modprobing the modules it found | 02:55 |
| rexus | ok, then where's the apt-get stored the packages? | 02:55 |

| CTho_ | scguy318: no results, unfortunately | 03:24 |
| zenrium | r3n0c: I think... sudo ln -s /dev/video /dev/video0 will do it | 03:24 |
| memoryLenin | is there anybody who could help me with a networking issue? | 03:24 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: or start with camorama --device=/dev/vide0 or something | 03:24 |
| scguy318 | r3n0c: i dont have the man page in front of me | 03:24 |
| r3n0c | zenrium, video already has apointer to video0 | 03:25 |

| WildnQIk | what package would bunutu use for pop3 | 03:25 |
| zenrium | r3n0c : k then what scguy says may work but if it doesnt then that prob means something is locking the device and you need to work out what to free it up | 03:25 |
| Avt | here see my temaps screenshot http://img528.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmn5.jpg | 03:25 |

| Avt | scguy318 I tore a napkin in half and using it over fan as filter | 03:27 |
| zenrium | r3n0c : you did say you had tried to run xawtv before the camero thing right? is there a rogue xawtv process still running you need to kill? | 03:27 |
| Avt | its half a ply | 03:27 |
| memoryLenin | anybody who could help me with a networking issue real quick? | 03:27 |
| zenrium | depends on the issue memory :P | 03:27 |
| r3n0c | zenrium, no, when i try to run xawtv it goes to a black screen, the webcam light blinks 1x and i can't get out of it, so i have to restart | 03:27 |
| scguy318 | Avt: filter for what? | 03:28 |
| r3n0c | zenrium, i removed xawtv after that | 03:28 |

| Sande1 | erm, ok, Im using pidgin for chatting :( | 03:29 |
| whatevr | hey peoples | 03:29 |
| zenrium | Also if you are having problems with Microphones under Gutsy with say teamspeak its probably a aumix bug thats been reported | 03:29 |
| roadfish | how do I tell linux to update the values in "/dev/disk/by-uuid"? | 03:29 |
| Sande1 | Following problem, just installed Ubuntu 7.10 form a live cd on a free slave harddisk of 80 gigs, primary hd has Vista on it | 03:29 |
| Sande1 | Now I get with starting up Grub error 17 | 03:30 |
| zenrium | memorylenin : this is a wireless network I presume? what does your ifconfig show? and theres prob some info in sudo tail /var/log/messages as well | 03:30 |
| Sande1 | Third harddisk is a SATA harddisk of 160 gig, not used... | 03:30 |
| whatevr | I just installed ubuntu 7.10 no a machine, and when ever the gui starts, it mucks up and all I see is a navy blue screen with horizonal lines across the screen | 03:30 |
| lovedeatm | im using gaim..is the anyway to have it sense a message that has been sent and have it react to that message. so for instance if someone said hey that woudl tell gaim to shutdown? | 03:30 |
| Sande1 | master and slave are PATA | 03:30 |

| tony_math | zenrium: The solution you gave me worked. I typed sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and went through the prompts to reconfigure X to be consistent with GNOME. The error message that I was getting about X keyboard settings being different from GNOME has gone. Thanks! :) | 03:31 |
| LiMaO | lovedeatm: there's a way to do that, just browse thru the menus and you'll find it | 03:31 |
| * Sande1 is following link of zenrium - Thanks! | 03:31 | |
| zenrium | woot :) I helped someone today :D | 03:31 |
| wy | Is there a convenient way to install fonts? | 03:31 |
| KyleS | lol | 03:31 |
| KyleS | yah, automatix2 | 03:31 |
| LiMaO | wy: open up a browser window and load folder fonts:/// | 03:32 |
| lovedeatm | limao, the only thing i see closest to that is prepend to string | 03:32 |
| LiMaO | wy: then just copy the fonts you want to install to that folder | 03:32 |
| bjbum | anyone here ever install djmount? | 03:32 |
| wy | LiMaO: You mean the file browser? | 03:33 |
| LiMaO | wy: yeah, file browser window, sorry | 03:33 |
| Sande1 | Zenrium, I'll be right back to try the bios sollution, not sure if it will help as I can't detect the SATA harddisk in BIOS as it has its own bios | 03:33 |
| Sande1 | brb | 03:33 |
| zenrium | whatevr: I think for the third time today I might have a possible solution with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org | 03:33 |
| zenrium | sandel: you should still be able to specify the LBA modes tho I think for sata? | 03:34 |
| wy | No. I don't have an address bar... | 03:34 |
| memoryLenin | i'm using a wireless network, but when i turn on my computer, sometimes it'll connect and die shortly after, and sometimes when it doesn't i'll try to connect and it will take a long time and eventually quit trying to connect. I set my wireless network to roaming, and it shows it when i left click on network manager as 61% strength. | 03:34 |
| memoryLenin | any advice anybody | 03:35 |
| memoryLenin | ? | 03:35 |
| wy | LiMaO: What kind of file manager are you using? I'm using the default gnome one. | 03:35 |
| zenrium | memorylenin - sorry but no use to you I dont think.. not done much in the way of wireless with ubuntu yet myself :( | 03:35 |

| Voyage__ | using firestarter. but it auto vanishes from sys tray. why.. its not runing i guess if its not in the tray. | 03:35 |
| memoryLenin | k thanks anyway zenrium, just tyring to get this figured out so i can abandon win vista | 03:36 |
| tarelerulz | Wireless with ubuntu is still hard. I got the card to work ,but have yet to try wep or any other encrytion | 03:36 |
| naes | lenin search for your lspci output for you w/less card in the forum, sometimes with certain wireless cards drivers have to be blacklisted or something | 03:36 |
| TigranG | Is 40 C hot for a hard drive? | 03:36 |
| zenrium | Voyage__: one way to try to find out why is to right click the icon on the sys tray - select properties - copy and paste the command it runs to start the program into a terminal window so the output when it bombs is displayed in the terminal window to giv eyou some insight | 03:36 |
| gvsa123 | Voyage__: sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter status to see of it's running | 03:36 |

| NotSoGutsy | is there a way I can see what processes are driving up my average load ? | 03:37 |
| naes | i had to blacklist drivers in modprobe.d | 03:37 |
| wy | LiMaO: Is the ae_* fonts any use? They seem to be ugly | 03:37 |
| zenrium | notsogutsy - add the applet System monitor to your panel | 03:37 |
| memoryLenin | naes | 03:37 |
| tarelerulz | Kyles is wpa new? My router that I am trying to connect says wep . How do you know what you have | 03:37 |
| memoryLenin | when i installed my driver | 03:37 |
| gvsa123 | Voyage__: did you comment out this line in the sudoers: #Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn | 03:38 |
| memoryLenin | i had to blacklist the one it loaded by default | 03:38 |
| zenrium | wpa is not new | 03:38 |
| memoryLenin | but my wifi light is on, so i'm sure the card is working. | 03:38 |
| LiMaO | i don't care about removing any fonts.. i just add a few from time to time, when i like them | 03:38 |
| wols | teKnofreak: router manual. wpa is newer yes | 03:38 |
| tony_math | memoryLenin: What do you get when you run "sudo iwlist scan" | 03:38 |
| wols | teKnofreak: and unlike wep not that easily broken | 03:38 |
| interceptor | #ubuntu-ru | 03:38 |

| NotSoGutsy | zenrium :: as I see, system monitor doesn't show *what processes* are making it higher, just that it is higher | 03:38 |
| memoryLenin | tony, i'm on windows right now, but i'll have to look | 03:38 |
| wy | Is there a way to split the file browser? | 03:38 |
| memoryLenin | what should i be seeing, the list of networks available? | 03:39 |
| TigranG | NotSoGutsy: just click that applet | 03:39 |
| zenrium | notsogutsy I must be misunderstanding you... the system monitor shows all processes running and you can sort them by CPU load | 03:39 |
| TigranG | NotSoGutsy: It will open the System Monitor | 03:39 |

| tjagoda | A question concerning the laptop hard disk click bug | 03:50 |
| tjagoda | Can anybody off a little help to me on it? | 03:51 |
| zenrium | vladtzu : found that by going into System - Preferences - Session which is where all your programs that start up when windows loads are found. | 03:51 |
| tjagoda | My hard disk clicks, but none of the load cycle counts seem to be chaning | 03:51 |
| nova | i have a quick question, i got a new monitor and it supports 1920x1200 but when i set that res when i reboot the rest will be back to 1280x1024 any help? | 03:51 |
| tjagoda | changing* | 03:51 |
| kitofhawaii | aabars: have you shared a folder with samba yet? | 03:51 |
| insta | hey guys, i just finished a mythbuntu backend installation to a SCSI disk. grub fails on startup with "Error 22". i'm wondering if there's any merit in using my spare CF -> IDE adapter and making a 64MB /boot partition ... and letting the rest of / be on the SCSI. any ideas? | 03:52 |
| vladtzu | zenrium: Thanks man. Is that a GNOME thing? The programs that start up when x loads, or is it a general x thing? | 03:52 |

| ubotu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre | 03:52 |
| zenrium | nova: theres several areas to muck around with that... 1: is the nvidia driver which can write back to the xorg.conf (found using nvidia-settings) 2: try with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, 3: using system preferences screen resolution | 03:52 |
| tjagoda | Anybody able to help me with my hard disk issue? | 03:52 |
| zenrium | vladtzu: I think the sessions is a gnome thing yes. | 03:52 |
| insta | tjagoda: what was it? | 03:53 |
| zenrium | nova: presuming of course your using nvidia :P | 03:53 |
| jughead | nova, you can edit the xorg.conf file by hand and remove the lines for other resolutions | 03:54 |
| kitofhawaii | tjagoda: what is the issue you're having? | 03:54 |
| tjagoda | insta: My hard disk is clicking fairly regularly (it's done it since I've bought the laptop, really, and I just sort of ignored it.), and it only happens in Ubuntu. So I found that load cycle bug, and I ran through the steps, but nothing seems to stop the clicking. | 03:54 |
| insta | how often does it click? | 03:54 |
| tjagoda | sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda |grep -i load produces a count of 20,509 and thats over the course of a year | 03:54 |
| tjagoda | sometimes as low as 3-5 seconds | 03:55 |
| nova | zenrium: yeah i am using nvidia and have tried the nvidia-settings and tired editing the xorg.conf file as well | 03:55 |
| tjagoda | smartmon tests all passed a-ok | 03:55 |
| tjagoda | forcing power management to 255 and 254 did nothing to change it as well | 03:55 |
| abaars | kitofhawaii: no....I think i need to find a guide on this. I thought I would like the extra security of the 'server', not so sure now :) | 03:55 |
| insta | is it doing it right now? | 03:56 |
| tjagoda | Yes. | 03:56 |
| zenrium | nova: try the third one I mentioned then... there is a possibility that in system - preferences - settings you have the command nvidia-settings --config-only which would cause this too I think | 03:56 |
| thebigkahuna | hello :) | 03:56 |
| abaars | i miss my beautiful ui | 03:56 |
| kuzmaster | how do i run the x config wizard from command line? | 03:56 |
| zenrium | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:56 |
| jughead | Is there a way to get the power cycle count if SMART isn't supported? | 03:57 |
| insta | tjagoda: did you do anything with hdparam? | 03:57 |
| pythondasnake | Ok I think I really messed up here and I need some serious help | 03:57 |
| zenrium | thats the third time I've told you kuzmaster :P | 03:57 |

| Voyage__ | can any one please recomend an irc client most similer to mirc (thats used in windows) ? | 03:57 |
| tjagoda | only after I read the bug, never before | 03:57 |
| jughead | Voyage__, I use xchat; it's similar | 03:57 |
| pythondasnake | I used partition magic to create a swam + partition for Ubuntu.. When I rebooted it said problems loading operating system... | 03:57 |
| warriorforgod | Voyage__: Xchat | 03:57 |
| thadood | xchat rocks , how goes it ubuntu crowd | 03:57 |
| scguy318 | Voyage___: or mIRC on Wine :P | 03:57 |
| Voyage__ | jughead - have you used mirc ? xchat is not similer | 03:57 |

| scguy318 | pythondasnake: try burning a Super GRUB CD | 03:58 |
| jughead | Voyage__, yeah I run mIRC on Windows | 03:58 |
| TigranG | pythondasnake: there is one thing you can try | 03:58 |
| insta | tjagoda: what all did you run with hdparm? | 03:58 |
| scguy318 | pythondasnake: then fixing the MBR, perhaps Part Magic (which is utter rubbish) trashed the MBR | 03:58 |
| pythondasnake | I'm more worried about losing my operating system at the moment | 03:58 |
| Voyage__ | scguy318 yes. but wine is full of bugs | 03:58 |
| scguy318 | Voyage___: I'm using it right now, perfect no issues | 03:58 |
| pythondasnake | How do I define a root system ? | 03:58 |
| TigranG | pythondasnake:If you have an XP cd boot from it into recovery mode and do mixmbr and fixboot | 03:58 |
| jughead | Voyage__, use WINE if native irc clients don't live up to your expectations | 03:58 |

| scguy318 | wy: yes | 04:02 |
| TigranG | wy: yea | 04:02 |
| zenrium | pythondasnake : you currently have repartitioned your drive without yet installing ubutun and your main partition you just resized has xp on it that doesnt boot anymore.. there could be larger issues than just the MBR however your first port of call should be booting off your windows XP CD and running the ERD Emergency recovery console.. and using the command fixmbr from there. | 04:03 |
| pythondasnake | will someone guide me through this ? | 04:03 |

| tjagoda | insta: I'm sort of at a loss, because judging from the numbers and tests my drives are okay, but juding from the clicking that occurs every short intermitent interval I'm lead to believe otherwise | 04:05 |

| tjagoda | but it only seems to happen in Ubuntu | 04:05 |

| TigranG | tjagoda: Just backup your important file just in case and see what happens if tests are okay. | 04:06 |
| scguy318 | tjagoda: probably you should do some tweaking in hdparm | 04:06 |

| lnxdb | lucian: physically | 04:06 |

| quitte | lnxdb how is it connected? | 04:07 |
| dsnyders | lnxdb: sudo eject /dev/cdrom | 04:07 |
| zenrium | nova: I'm at a loss... I guess manually checking the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to ensure the correct res's are listed there is helpful but not going to do much... I guess theres a possibility its also tied into the refresh rate ? but I'm running low on ideas now. :( | 04:07 |

| scguy318 | lnxdb: well isn't that the job of those special server mount boxes? | 04:11 |
| scguy318 | lnxdb: or w/e they're called? | 04:11 |

| scguy318 | lnxdb: I can't divide by zero in Linux, try again :P | 04:14 |
| abaars | to share two paths, is it like this: path = /galaxy1, /galaxy2 | 04:14 |

| Mudbug1950 | what is a good webcam to use with Ubuntu? | 05:26 |
| Jeriath|Away | thanks | 05:26 |
| loke | arooni-mobile: Do you know the speed? | 05:26 |
| loke | arooni-mobile: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 05:26 |
| j1solutions | rtan: like what, there are almost always alternatives in linux | 05:26 |
| arooni-mobile | loke, hang on | 05:26 |
| ridge-meister | fen, what is the "hood" on this monitor? it's one of those old fashioned monitors, the front part of the monitor looks like it has a frame that snaps off, or something like that | 05:26 |
| Jeriath|Away | yep...works now...thanks :D | 05:27 |
| loke | arooni-mobile: Actually try this: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model\ name | 05:27 |
| arooni-mobile | loke, model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz | 05:27 |
| fen | lnxdb to answer you other question LTSP, the Linux Terminal Server Project | 05:27 |
| loke | 60.1*C is the limit | 05:27 |
| lnxdb | fen: thanks a lot | 05:27 |
| mikefoo | looking to install buntu on a laptop, would unbuntu be the best choice of all the *buntu's ? | 05:28 |
| fen | ridge-meister look for the screws and take the plastic off to see the guts | 05:28 |
| loke | arooni-mobile: If your load temps are under 60 (preferably around 50) you're ok. | 05:28 |
| xLE | xubuntu | 05:28 |
| lnxdb | fen: these distros will be a helpfull... | 05:28 |
| mindy | The "shutdown" option seems to have disappeared from my Quit menu. How can I get it back? | 05:28 |
| mikefoo | xLE: me? | 05:28 |
| fen | lnxdb it may not work without a fat server somewhere on the LAN | 05:28 |
| arooni-mobile | loke, my cpu is currently at 68 or 69* C ... what does that mean? should i get a better fan | 05:28 |
| xLE | it's what i would use yes. | 05:28 |
| j1solutions | mikefoo: yes | 05:28 |
| j1solutions | i ran 4 distros on this thinkpad and came back to ubuntu | 05:29 |
| j1solutions | just lose the network manager and install Wicd and it will run fine | 05:29 |
| loke | arooni-mobile: Did you build this yourself? Are you sure those temps are correct? | 05:29 |
| fen | question - anyone know how to query a printer hardware for status ? | 05:29 |
| arooni-mobile | loke, my comp does random restarts sometimes.......... yes i built it myself. ... i got the temp from the bios (asus mobo) | 05:29 |
| loke | arooni-mobile: Re-apply the thermal paste. | 05:30 |
| IdleOne | loke: just enable universe and multiverse did a dist-upgrade and now it is installing compiz and 60 other packages :) see what happens | 05:30 |
| loke | IdleOne: I think you're targeting the wrong guy. | 05:30 |
| mikefoo | oh,but my laptop is failry new, still go with xbuntu? | 05:30 |
| Dr_willis_ | mikefoo, You can always install ubuntu-desktop later if you want. | 05:30 |
| IdleOne | loke: might be | 05:30 |
| IdleOne | sorry | 05:30 |
| arooni-mobile | loke, u dont think i need a new fan? its a intel cpu fan that came with processor.............. however the fan is getting kinda hard to put back onto the cpu securelty | 05:30 |
| loke | np =] | 05:30 |
| j1solutions | mikefoo: ubuntu, that is my advice. boot the live disk to see that your hardware all works | 05:30 |
| arooni-mobile | securely | 05:30 |
| loke | arooni-mobile: That's a possibility. You need perfect contact between the CPU and heatsink. | 05:31 |
| j1solutions | mikefoo, have you ver installed XP? | 05:31 |
| j1solutions | ver=ever | 05:31 |
| mikefoo | yeah | 05:31 |
| mikefoo | ofcourse. | 05:31 |
| fen | lnxdb http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT6185716632.html | 05:31 |
| j1solutions | its easier than XP | 05:31 |
| arooni-mobile | loke, hmmmmmmmmm so u think a new fan is the way to go? also, am i in any danger of running at 68 or 69*C? wont it auto shut off if its too hot | 05:32 |
| mikefoo | I love XP, I dont have a problem with installing, im just not a X person, I always work in shells. | 05:32 |
| loke | arooni-mobile: If it's auto rebooting, then you have a problem. | 05:32 |
| loke | 60.1 is the limit, anything more is DANGEROUS! | 05:32 |
| j1solutions | well, ubuntu is still my recommendation | 05:32 |
| mikefoo | =) | 05:32 |
| arooni-mobile | loke, is there anyway of knowing temp from within ubuntu | 05:33 |
| loke | sudo apt-get install lm-sensors | 05:33 |
| vegananarchist | how can you uninstall programs you installed using the terminal | 05:33 |
| loke | rather..sudo apt-get install sensord | 05:33 |
| j1solutions | wow skype works great in gutsy | 05:33 |
| jrgotti | arooni-mobile: sudo apt-get install hddtemp | 05:33 |
| loke | jrgotti: he's not after hdd temps | 05:34 |

| j1solutions | qwerkus: is that a known issue, mine won't run either | 05:37 |
| j1solutions | just on one of my machines | 05:37 |
| bullgard4 | hajiki: This is not normal. Do you have the proper kernel boot option in your Grub? | 05:37 |
| qwerkus | yup | 05:37 |

| kitofhawaii | hajiki: how are you shutting down? are you using terminal to shut down? | 05:38 |
| Jeriath | hmmmm | 05:38 |
| Jeriath | anyone know why xchat isnt even using the nickserv password | 05:39 |
| ramza3 | what is the point of using sudo, eg, it seems that a sudo user has the same rights as root? | 05:39 |
| Jeriath | it does | 05:39 |
| qwerkus | j1solutions: same here :( | 05:39 |
| hajiki | kitofhawaii: nope, just the button on the upper right corner of the screen | 05:40 |
| ramza3 | Jeriath, are you going into freenode? I think sometimes it takes a little time? | 05:40 |
| jrgotti | ramza3: thats teh point of sudo...so you can have admin rights... | 05:40 |
| qwerkus | ramza3: ofc, but only ONE time (when u use the command) | 05:40 |
| preaction | ramza3, because it's not good to be careless with root, using sudo provides more controls over when and how the root access is used | 05:40 |
| ramza3 | jrgotti, I know, but does it buy you any extra protections over root | 05:40 |
| qwerkus | ramza3: it doesn t left an "open" superuser account ... | 05:40 |
| ramza3 | ok | 05:40 |
| robotic | Hi all: Does anyone have any experience with using Festival on Ubuntu? | 05:40 |
| bullgard4 | hajiki: What is the text of your /boot/grub/menu.list > current kernel text line starting with 'kernel'? | 05:41 |
| kitofhawaii | hajiki: are you getting nothing at all (blank screen) or text? | 05:41 |
| robotic | When I try and run a text-to-speech program, I get an error accessing /dev/dsp | 05:41 |
| Jeriath | ramza3, it doesnt do it in any of my networks | 05:41 |
| robotic | But I'm not sure why /dev/dsp can't be used if I can play sound normally with mplayer | 05:42 |
| hajiki | kitofhawaii: black screen | 05:42 |
| jrgotti | ramza3: when you use sudo...you only have root for the command you put sudo in front of....so if i were to type sudo cp file1 file2...it would copy with root. if i immediately were to type 'rm *' 9bad idea) i wouldnt have root because i didnt put "sudo" in front. | 05:42 |
| hajiki | bullgard4: kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=8f1f3322-9ce3-49ac-8086-09e4b4a5f66b ro quiet splash | 05:42 |

| jrgotti | ANYTHING you do has root priv. | 05:42 |
| pooria | how can I use "debug" in ubuntu to work with Assembly and CPU's registers | 05:42 |
| loke | robotic: Make sure nothing else is using /dev/dsp | 05:42 |
| Hirvinen | 2 | 05:42 |
| Dr_willis_ | pooria, i rember ages ago a "assembly howto" for linux on tldp.org but thats been years ago. | 05:43 |
| robotic | loke: thanks! is there any command to check that automatically? | 05:43 |
| ramza3 | jrgotti, I thought it was if you don't close that terminal session. eg, once you sudo, you could do sudo once and then do "rm *" | 05:43 |
| qwerkus | pooria: gdb | 05:43 |
| loke | lsof /dev/dsp | 05:43 |
| kitofhawaii | hajiki: do you have an onboard video card in addition to an add-on video card? also...i'd be curious to see if you are getting anything if you issue a terminal shutdown | 05:43 |
| jrgotti | ramza3: nope. =] | 05:43 |
| kitofhawaii | hajiki: i.e. "sudo init 0" for shutdown, or "sudo init 6" for reboot | 05:43 |
| qwerkus | pooria: when you compile, you put some gdb tags in your bin you can trace later one | 05:43 |
| robotic | loke: comes up blank; does that guarantee nothing's using it? | 05:44 |
| bullgard4 | hajiki: You have 'splash' in it. So this text line is okay. -- But I do not know why your computer does not show usplash on shutdown. Sorry, I cannot help you. | 05:44 |
| hajiki | kitofhawaii: no i dont have another video card | 05:44 |
| loke | robotic: It does, which is..odd. =p | 05:44 |
| peterretief | i cant get sound working on boson | 05:44 |
| pooria | I'm not going to compile anything - I wanna see what values are in CPU's registers right know | 05:44 |
| ramza3 | jrgotti, ok, but I dont have to enter my password | 05:44 |
| peterretief | gutsy | 05:44 |
| hajiki | bullgard4: thanks anyway | 05:44 |
| ramza3 | jrgotti, reenter on the second sudo cmd | 05:44 |
| robotic | loke: OK, let me try quitting everything to see if that frees it up somehow. | 05:44 |
| Jeriath | k...kinda works now | 05:45 |
| hajiki | kitofhawaii: i can try shutting by terminal | 05:45 |
| Poisonkiller | how can i watch videos in youtube with opera? | 05:45 |
| Jeriath | just doesnt like to save the information when i change it is all | 05:45 |
| jrgotti | ramza3: correct. it leaves you with a 15 minute window (by default). again, however, you still have to conciously enter "sudo" to run a command as root, virtually eliminating stupid errors. | 05:45 |

| jrgotti | ufarooq: welcome, and of course you are. it wouldnt be linux otherwise :P | 05:47 |
| qwerkus | peterretief: check if someone else noticed your probe - and perhaps find an answer ... | 05:47 |

| ufarooq | sorry for the intro, felt it was important, anyways, the problem im having is with my usb soundcard, ive got a soundblaster i think its 16bits. i can get sound ot of it, however when i change the volume in the mixer, it is really weird, the two channells dont stay linked, and by pressing the volume up button it doesnt always go up, sometime it goes down, sometimes it goes up, its weird, i dunno if anyone can help | 05:49 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as IdleOne | ||
| peterretief | qwerkus: i think its since ubuntu updated its ui from mesa - boson is just a game i guess | 05:49 |
| qwerkus | ufarooq: your best option is to check out the homepage / forum of the team developping the driver you use | 05:50 |
| ufarooq | i see, and how do i find out what driver im using, it just seemed to work out of the box so far | 05:50 |

| Dr_willis_ | It should andrew | 05:54 |
| andrew[andrboot] | awesome lol | 05:54 |
| kitofhawaii | hajiki: "sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf" and change it to something your monitor can handle, like xres=1024 and yres=768 | 05:54 |
| andrew[andrboot] | must have been the bad ram causing my problems before | 05:54 |

| hajiki | kitofhawaii: ok | 05:56 |
| andrew[andrboot] | elinsurrecto which version of ubuntu | 05:56 |
| kitofhawaii | hajiki: try this...from terminal, type "sudo usplash"...to get back here, ctrl-alt-f7 | 05:56 |
| elinsurrecto | i have 7.10 32bit | 05:56 |
| kitofhawaii | hajiki: see if usplash comes up | 05:56 |
| loke | elinsurrecto: 7.10 has fusion installed by default. | 05:56 |
| andrew[andrboot] | elinsurrecto it comes build it.. just enabled the 3d stuff in apperances :) | 05:56 |

| kitofhawaii | AndrewB: lol | 05:57 |
| hajiki | kitofhawaii: nothing just a black screen | 05:57 |
| elinsurrecto | when i choose extra and click preferences it wont do anything | 05:57 |
| kitofhawaii | hajiki: ok try putting a lower resolution, heck go all the way down to xres=800, yres=600 | 05:58 |
| qwerkus | just wondering: how many of you use the "automatic update" feature of ubuntu ? | 05:59 |
| hajiki | kitofhawaii: OMG it worked with 800x600!!! | 05:59 |
| Le^stat | there is an automatic update feature? | 05:59 |
| crush_groove | I do .. but I always review | 05:59 |
| qwerkus | I simply can t stand auto-stuff - and always do it the old way ... | 05:59 |
| kitofhawaii | hajiki: lol well try rebooting now | 05:59 |
| loke | apt-get update && apt-get upgrade is roughly automatic? | 06:00 |
| hajiki | ok | 06:00 |
| elinsurrecto | i just get normal effects | 06:00 |
| kitofhawaii | qwerkus: i do it all the time...helps me keep up on when something breaks in case a client calls about it :) | 06:00 |
| qwerkus | well; i was just tired about the "gosh, where is that nice feature of app xy i used to love ???" | 06:01 |
| qwerkus | i think, for a proper end-user update, one should first read most of the release notes | 06:02 |
| hajiki | kitofhawaii: IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 06:02 |
| hajiki | kitofhawaii: Thank you SO much! | 06:03 |
| eifzon | How can I search and add wireless networks on Ubuntu (gnome). I also want to add some network as 'favorites' if it possible. Thankful for help! | 06:03 |
| kitofhawaii | hajiki: hurrah hurrah :) | 06:03 |
| robotic | loke: thanks for your help. I quit Firefox and suddenly dev/dsp is free | 06:03 |
| qwerkus | eifzon: use a tool called wlanconfig | 06:03 |
| qwerkus | makes life easy in Wifi | 06:03 |
| eifzon | qwerkus: ok, is it just to apt-get ? | 06:03 |
| robotic | loke: apparently Firefox doesn't report its usage of /dev/dsp, or possibly flash player is to blame | 06:03 |
| loke | Ah, odd. | 06:04 |
| qwerkus | yup | 06:04 |
| tubetop | howdy | 06:04 |
| loke | Oh, flash very likely. | 06:04 |
| loke | Flash is...annoying relating to sound. | 06:04 |

| tubetop | serve* | 06:05 |
| loke | tubetop: Server edition is just a bare install, the desktop edition is the same with additional packages and a GUI. | 06:05 |
| elinsurrecto | any way to enable the 3D effects i cant get it to work | 06:05 |
| elinsurrecto | >.< | 06:05 |
| tubetop | i like guis | 06:05 |
| Dr_willis_ | depends on your card and system :) | 06:05 |
| tubetop | ;) | 06:05 |
| qwerkus | eifzon: STOP | 06:06 |
| kitofhawaii | tubetop: yes you can use ubuntu desktop to serve out nfs and samba | 06:06 |
| qwerkus | eifzon: it is wifi-radar | 06:06 |
| pingu_ | does anyone know the program to have your windows sit on your desktop and we you move your curser over one it comes forward | 06:06 |
| qwerkus | eifzon: wlanconfig is the atheros driver tool; sry ! | 06:06 |
| loke | pingu, that's likely a compiz plugin | 06:06 |
| eifzon | qwerkus: ok, do you know anything other? | 06:07 |
| xzased | hiya peeps. I need some help setting up vnc to control a pc at work | 06:07 |
| qwerkus | eifzon: well; i do it via scripting | 06:07 |
| qwerkus | using iwconfig | 06:07 |
| boontoo | how do i check if a movie .avi file is actually an .avi file not just data named as an avi file before i finnish downloading it? | 06:07 |
| eifzon | ok, but how can I do this the easy way? | 06:07 |
| xzased | I set the pc at work as a host | 06:08 |
| tubetop | kitofhawaii: this was abaars, but it was taken...LOL. I got the two shares up, I can see them, but when I copy into them from windows I get an error about permissions. For the samba users I add I want the shares to act just like an attached USB HD | 06:08 |
| xzased | and can use vnc with local computers (on the same network) | 06:08 |
| kitofhawaii | pingu_: system -> preferences -> windows, check the button "select windows when the mouse moves over them" | 06:08 |
| qwerkus | eifzon: easy way: wifi-radar | 06:08 |
| xzased | but not at home | 06:08 |
| boontoo | gtkwifi is better than wifi-radar | 06:08 |
| mikefoo | Anyone run xen here? | 06:09 |
| eifzon | qwerkus: ty, will try it | 06:09 |
| qwerkus | eifzon: less easy way, adding a #!/bin/bash script in your /etc/inid.d directory | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis_ | boontoo, could do 'file whatever.avi' | 06:09 |
| * loke is sleeping now. No more questions!! | 06:09 | |
| tubetop | so if I go to ubuntu desktop and I want to do DVD burning of movies...would KDE or Gnome based ubuntu be better...any preferences in the crowd? | 06:10 |
| eifzon | thanks qwerkus | 06:10 |
| loke | tubetop: No difference. You can install packages from either. | 06:10 |

| jrgotti | eff this game! you win grandma! its 4 in the morning and im stuck on baltic with crack! | 06:10 |
| pingu_ | kitofhawaii: thats kinda it but instead of just having them anywhere they line up and shrink | 06:10 |
| jrgotti | (going to sleep) | 06:10 |
| boontoo | Dr_willis it shows as : Data, that means that its a fake avi? or do you need to wait for it to finnish downloading as maybe all files are data until they are complete? | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis_ | tubetop, proberly wont matter. :) Of course finding the proper tools to do the video burning may be a bit harder. | 06:10 |

| greente1 | it has all the codecs and how to install them | 06:14 |
| zell | I have a question | 06:15 |
| tubetop | or should I install from desktop cd install | 06:15 |
| kitofhawaii | pingu_: loke's right. i have my compiz fusion set up to scale when i move the mouse to the upper right hand side of the screen. it shrinks all the windows and hovers them until i pick one | 06:15 |
| robotic | tanka_001: sure, try greentel's suggestion | 06:15 |
| greente1 | tubetop, try installing ubuntu-desktop | 06:15 |
| kitofhawaii | pingu_: i guess i didn't recognize it by the description (kinda used to having it there :) ) | 06:15 |
| robotic | tanka_001: the program easyubuntu does automatic codec downloading, I believe, as well | 06:15 |
| loke | Ubuntu desktop is a meta-package. try gnome-desktop | 06:15 |
| robotic | logankoester: I take it you tried sudo, which is the obvious thing to do | 06:16 |
| logankoester | robotic: Yeah | 06:16 |
| robotic | logankoester: can you paste your exact message? | 06:16 |
| tubetop | k...thanks so ubuntu desktop has gnome-desktop in it right? | 06:16 |
| tanka_001 | easyubuntu where do I find that?? | 06:16 |
| logankoester | robotic: I can't even get firefox to start, it segfaults now | 06:16 |
| logankoester | robotic: $ sudo dpkg --configure -a dpkg: failed to write status record about `dash' to `/var/lib/dpkg/status': No space left on device | 06:16 |
| xLE | lol | 06:16 |
| greente1 | ubuntu-desktop is what you get with a normal desktop install, so yeah, it includes the complete gnome package | 06:16 |
| xLE | i'm in XCHAT, how do I get rid of the red line? | 06:16 |
| robotic | tanka_001:did you try to search for "codec" in synaptic? | 06:17 |
| === greente1 is now known as greenT | ||
| logankoester | robotic: $ sudo apt-get remove openoffice E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 06:17 |
| robotic | tanka_001: that should give you the gstreamer codecs | 06:17 |
| Dr_willis_ | The red line is good. :) err. what red line? | 06:17 |
| tanka_001 | where is the synaptic | 06:17 |
| robotic | logankoester: is your disk full? | 06:17 |
| xLE | it separates text, in the chat. | 06:17 |
| logankoester | robotic: my hdd no, but I'm running from the livecd | 06:17 |
| tanka_001 | nm I found it | 06:17 |
| greenT | the problem is that he has to add medibuntu if he wants codecs, so simply searching repos won't show anything | 06:17 |
| Dr_willis_ | xLE, yes.. thats a feature. :) to let ya know when ya left/lost focus/stopped watching a channel.. its in the settings. | 06:18 |
| robotic | greenT: can he download the medibuntu package? | 06:18 |
| Zikiti | how can I make the window borders smaller | 06:18 |
| Zikiti | ? | 06:18 |
| greenT | it's an entire repository where codecs are kept, since ubuntu can't host the codecs it has to be added manually | 06:18 |
| robotic | logankoester: OK, then it's trying to write things locally to the hard drive, but can't because the 'hard drive' is the boot drive, the CD | 06:18 |
| Ubuntu2 | u can't download and save a big pack on the live cd will not work | 06:18 |
| greenT | there are instructions for installing all the codecs at http://erusan.googlepages.com | 06:18 |
| robotic | tanka_001: did you catch that? you'll need to add a repository to get the codecs | 06:18 |
| xLE | oh is it | 06:19 |
| xLE | cool, i'll try and get used to it now. | 06:19 |
| robotic | tanka_001: see the page greenT just posted | 06:19 |
| robotic | tanka_001: it will explain it | 06:19 |
| logankoester | robotic: What would the solution be, then? Obviously I can't free up space, because I can't use apt-get | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis_ | xLE, open 2 or more channels.. then when ya switch - the red line gets drawn where you left/switched :) | 06:19 |
| greenT | it's cut-and-paste, only three lines, and you'll be able to play everything | 06:19 |
| robotic | logankoester: just so I understand your config - you have a local windows drive, and you livebooted to ubuntu? | 06:19 |

| elinsurrecto | why it wont start the compiz setting manager | 06:20 |
| robotic | logankoester: as I understand it, when you live-boot, the computer makes a virtual hard drive inside the RAM | 06:20 |
| logankoester | robotic: nothing anymore, I just want to apologize, back away slowly and have a stable livebooted system to use | 06:20 |
| greenT | elinsurrecto, did you install the settings manager? it's not included by default | 06:20 |
| xLE | Dr_willis, how come I can't see the user list? | 06:20 |
| logankoester | Firefox segfaults, Install segfaults.... | 06:21 |
| robotic | logankoester: is rebooting an option? | 06:21 |
| logankoester | nothing works, because the ram is full | 06:21 |
| elinsurrecto | yea i guess | 06:21 |
| robotic | logankoester: how much RAM do you have? | 06:21 |
| elinsurrecto | i have the compiz fusion icon in the top of the screen | 06:21 |
| logankoester | I guess I could reboot | 06:21 |

| godzaii | wot is the winamp of ubuntu? | 06:26 |

| firekool | My file system said my ext3 is bad and must be manualy checked how do i do so | 06:50 |
| noname6243 | macogw, you mean harder because you need to use bootcamp ? | 06:50 |
| macogw | noname6243: i recall being told by a mac user that you have to use LILO instead of GRUB, but i think there are GRUB extensions to do EFI. in that case, i think you need to use the Super GRUB Disk, but as i dont own/need/want a mac, i've never had to do it myself | 06:50 |
| robotic | xLE: I'm willing to learn with you -- do you have any idea how to start on setting up a chroot jail? | 06:50 |
| macogw | noname6243: i think you use bootcamp for dualboot and lilo alone for single-linux-boot | 06:51 |

| macogw | noname6243: he used unix before then | 06:52 |
| robotic | xle: sure | 06:52 |
| macogw | noname6243: probably bsd unix | 06:53 |
| greenT | fxfitz, then add a new command in the form of 'sh /path/to/script.sh' | 06:53 |
| greenT | fxfitz, then it will run the script when you boot | 06:53 |

| louist | because I need to specify wifiX as interface, and I have no idea what that means... | 06:59 |

| louist | hmm. works for me. i dowloaded all of the restricted codecs with Automatix, jones | 07:00 |
| scguy318 | Iogankoester: its the risk of partitioning, a good idea to backup | 07:00 |
| macogw | logankoester: scguy318 was at you | 07:00 |
| scguy318 | !automatix | louist | 07:00 |
| robotic | ramza3: won't that create the files and those directories? | 07:00 |
| ubotu | louist: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 07:00 |
| louist | I can't really reccomend automatix, but there you go | 07:00 |
| bullgard4 | macogw: Thank you for your comment. I know that Unix groups are used for accessing sound or my cdrom. Is this here a 'group' feature too? | 07:00 |
| logankoester | macogw: hmm, I didn't defrag first.... but I don't exactly have 2 years to wait for the machine to defrag | 07:00 |

| scguy318 | louist: ? | 07:01 |
| greenT | jones, i'm getting a blank video area as well...it's flash, so it's not like you're missing anything, it's probably just the site having problems with finding the video | 07:01 |

| macogw | blahdeblah2: sudo update-java-alternatives | 07:04 |
| macogw | marko: is that a driver? | 07:04 |
| macogw | marko: if so "sudo modprobe -r imwheel && sudo modprobe imwheel" | 07:04 |
| Filled-void | robotic, Im not sure just curious if apache2 needed it to display the data within the vnstat database | 07:05 |
| marko | imwheel is the application that handles the extra mouse buttons | 07:05 |
| greenT | marko, do 'killall imwheel' | 07:05 |
| greenT | then just type imwheel again | 07:05 |
| scguy318 | jones: I presume you've installed or attempted to install flashplugin-nonfree? | 07:05 |
| louist | I just patched my wifi driver with madwifi-ng, and the site says that in order for it to work with aircrack, i have to specify wifiX as interface (whatever that means). I tried running aircrack, and it has an error saying I need to do the same thing | 07:05 |
| jones | louist: did u say that u were able to view the nfl videos's? | 07:05 |
| scguy318 | jones: when I went to the NFL site and clicked Videos, some US Army ad played | 07:05 |
| jones | scguy318: i am pretty sure let me go look | 07:05 |
| scguy318 | jones: so it seems to work | 07:06 |
| macogw | scguy318: cant do that anymore. have to install it from sun's site. that package downloads it and the md5's dont match because sun updated theirs | 07:06 |

| macogw | scguy318: sure...then | 07:06 |

| louist | jones, yes, on my other computer (also ubuntu) | 07:06 |
| scguy318 | macogw: there's a package in proposed, and bug page has a package | 07:06 |
| macogw | scguy318: i mean "sure....them" | 07:06 |
| scguy318 | macogw: for latest | 07:06 |
| scguy318 | macogw: moment | 07:06 |
| Filled-void | robotic, thanks for confirming :D | 07:06 |
| macogw | scguy318: most people dont enable proposed, i dont think | 07:06 |
| scguy318 | macogw: i know, but lemme link | 07:06 |
| greenT | louist, can you view the other link he sent? the front page one he can see, but not the other link he sent | 07:06 |
| scguy318 | macogw: there's a few debs on the Launchpad bug | 07:06 |
| macogw | scguy318: i have proposed enabled for me | 07:07 |
| louist | greenT, no. Odd... | 07:07 |
| macogw | Mondragon: not sure there is an "ubuntu way"...just compile it | 07:07 |
| robotic | filled-void: Sure thing! | 07:07 |
| Mondragon | Well, apparently something changed in initrd.img between 2.6.xx and 2.6.23 | 07:07 |
| Mondragon | and I can't get the thing to install | 07:07 |
| mikubuntu | Dependency is not satisfiable: libapt-pkg-libc6.4-6-3.53 | 07:07 |
| macogw | Mondragon: i guess maybe you can checkinstall instead of make install so you can remove it from apt | 07:07 |
| greenT | jones, louist can't view the video either. it's only a server issue, not an ubuntu or flash issue. in other words, you can't view the video because nfl.com is messed up, so you just plain can't see it right now | 07:07 |
| fitztrev | Is there a command to recursively set all files to 0644 and all directories to 0755? | 07:07 |
| louist | anybody ever use the madwifi-ng patch for Atheros wifi drivers? | 07:07 |
| marko | well I killed all imwheel and it did not do what I wanted :( | 07:07 |
| Mondragon | er, find . -type d -exec chmod 0644 {} \; | 07:08 |
| Mondragon | probably | 07:08 |
| macogw | Mondragon: ah idk then | 07:08 |
| Mondragon | er | 07:08 |
| greenT | what did you want it to do, marko? | 07:08 |

| scguy318 | macogw: the real story is that a segfault is the result of dereferencing a null pointer or a pointer to a page that does not belong to a process | 07:13 |
| macogw | seamus7: that worked when i had it happen | 07:13 |
| greenT | walla, what card do you have? | 07:13 |

| honeking | having a problem with sound. There is no sound since last update. anyone else know how to fix this? | 07:16 |
| greenT | then the pc should boot with the nvidia card | 07:16 |
| macogw | louist: dont know how, but it means add something thats like eth0, eth1, ath0, etc. and make the first be wifi0, 2nd is wifi1, etc. and has something to do with /etc/network/interfaces | 07:17 |
| walla | but how do i get to that without being able to login? | 07:17 |

| macogw | louist: something like that | 07:18 |
| greenT | you can use nano to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 07:18 |
| earlmred | fen, modify your useradd script to create a smb user | 07:18 |
| louist | macogw, any idea where I could find out more? | 07:18 |
| walla | ok, i'll try that | 07:18 |
| macogw | louist: for me, eth0 is my wired connection and eth1 is my wireless. people with atheros-based cards get ath0 for their wireless i think | 07:18 |
| fitztrev | scguy318: thank you | 07:18 |
| earlmred | rtt | 07:18 |
| louist | macogw... yeah I think that's what it is right now, but I need to change it to wifi0 or something | 07:18 |
| honeking | i have no sound since last update with gutsy, anyone help? | 07:19 |
| louist | well it says wifiX ... whatever the heck that is | 07:19 |

| honeking | then my sound doesn't work | 07:21 |
| walla | what if i boot into recovery mode? | 07:21 |
| greenT | i would just suggest checking all your settings (making sure it's not muted, making sure all yuour inputs are volumed up, making sure you're using digital/analog according to your speakers, etc) | 07:21 |
| honeking | the controllers work and everything on screen says it's working | 07:21 |
| bullgard4 | scguy318: Thank you very much for helping. | 07:21 |
| honeking | just no sound | 07:21 |
| walla | doesn't that give me command line? | 07:21 |
| honeking | i already checked all that | 07:22 |
| scguy318 | bullgard4: np | 07:22 |
| greenT | walla, i think recovery will boot you into a gui, right? if it boots you into a prompt, that will work fine | 07:22 |
| scguy318 | greenT: Recovery Mode gives you single-user prompt | 07:22 |
| seamus7 | macogw: I reinstalled firefox and it enabled me to start firefox ... but I rebooted firefox and now it's doing it again .. nothing | 07:22 |
| greenT | well then recovery mode should work just fine | 07:22 |
| honeking | it doesn't work with oss either | 07:22 |
| walla | yup recovery mode work | 07:23 |
| greenT | honeking, i don't know...i would ask on the forums | 07:23 |
| Verifier | I've installed JeOS and now I can't login since the keyboard isnt working. It worked during the installation | 07:23 |
| honeking | greenT: okay, thanks | 07:23 |

| louist | I'm installing ubuntu and i'm a bit confused about the partitioning: what does a /boot partition have on it? | 07:24 |
| greenT | what does Xorg -configure do? | 07:24 |
| louist | as opposed to / and /home? | 07:24 |

| seamus7 | Anyone else having issues with Firefox not booting ... I have reinstalled but that fix is only temporary ..? | 07:25 |
| walla | oh nope, still bad command | 07:25 |
| dooglus | louist: you don't need a /boot if you don't want it. it's typically a small partition for booting linux, but you don't need it, so long as your root partition is readable by the kernel | 07:25 |
| Bulli | somebody using conky and willing to give me a hint? | 07:25 |
| greenT | try just manually editing the xorg.conf file to say 'nv' for the driver if you have to...it's the free driver for nvidia cards | 07:25 |
| honeking | greenT: nevermind, i fixed it. thanks again for trying | 07:26 |
| louist | dooglus, what advantage does a /boot partition offer, then? | 07:26 |
| greenT | glad it's working | 07:26 |
| walla | i can leave the identifier as the intel thing thought right? | 07:26 |
| louist | multiple kernels or something? | 07:26 |
| TylerJGillies | im using an isa sound card (sb awe16) but i'm not getting any sound. sometimes i do but sometimes i don't anyone know what is causing this? im using feisty | 07:27 |
| greenT | yeah, identifier doesn't really matter | 07:27 |
| louist | dooglus, I plan on dual booting with xp, so should I specify a /boot or just forget about it? | 07:27 |
| greenT | it's just a name for X to refer to | 07:27 |
| dooglus | louist: if you want your / partition to be encrypted maybe? or maybe you want to use a filesystem like reiser4 | 07:27 |
| kitofhawaii | tylerjgilles: whoa...classic. is that awe32 or sb16? | 07:27 |

| TylerJGillies | kitofhawaii: not sure how do i check? | 07:28 |
| dooglus | louist: I don't reinstall ubuntu from scratch, so I don't care about having a separate /home | 07:28 |
| louist | dooglus: cool thanks, mate. Do you happen to know how to encrypt ubuntu? I've done it via LVM with the alternate install CD, but only the live cd works in this computer | 07:28 |
| kitofhawaii | tylerjgilles: do you remember what the card looked like when it went in? did it have slots for memory on it? | 07:28 |
| dooglus | louist: I've never tried. there are various web pages out there though. try the ubuntu wiki thing | 07:28 |
| dooglus | !encryption | 07:29 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about encryption - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:29 |

| Verifier | I've installed JeOS and now I can't login since the keyboard isnt working. It worked during the installation. | 07:33 |
| TigranG | ctrl+f4 doesnt work | 07:33 |
| kitofhawaii | TylerJGillies: in terminal, type alsamixer and tell me if it comes up | 07:33 |
| greenT | sorry, i meant ctrl+alt+f4 | 07:33 |

| delfick | won't reinstall | 07:38 |
| delfick | and everytime I try to install anything, it complains about it | 07:38 |
| delfick | usually, something like subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 07:39 |
| kitofhawaii | TylerJGillies: i'm with you on that :) but that card has been around long enough for linux drivers to work (heck they worked for me on debian in '96, so i'm sure it's not the driver) | 07:39 |
| TylerJGillies | kitofhawaii: i know its notthe drivers. i think something is hoarding it, i just can't figure out what | 07:39 |
| TylerJGillies | kitofhawaii: gnome sound properties keep saying its busy | 07:40 |
| kitofhawaii | TylerJGillies: ISA is chatty irq wise | 07:40 |
| TylerJGillies | kitofhawaii: gotcha | 07:40 |
| TylerJGillies | kitofhawaii: i reserved irq in bios, does that matter? | 07:40 |
| cLeirA | hi... | 07:40 |
| kitofhawaii | TylerJGillies: is your card pnp or does it have jumpers? | 07:41 |
| macogw | TylerJGillies: do you have windows installed too? | 07:42 |
| macogw | TylerJGillies: windows can f with the irqs so that linux cant find it after a reboot | 07:42 |
| nantax | how do i disable the leave/join message from pidgin irc. it's driving me nuts | 07:42 |
| macogw | nantax: i think thats in one of the plugins | 07:42 |
| TylerJGillies | kitofhawaii: pretty sure its pnp | 07:42 |
| TylerJGillies | macogw: nope linux only | 07:42 |
| kitofhawaii | TylerJGillies: have you tried it without the irq's reserved? | 07:43 |
| nantax | macogw: how do i do that? | 07:43 |
| TylerJGillies | kitofhawaii: i don't think so. theres something at the base of the pins on here but i don't know if they're jumpers or just what connects the pins to the board | 07:43 |
| nantax | so does anyone know how to suppress the join/leave msg? | 07:43 |
| glick_ | whats better fewer but wider tables or many but narrower tables? | 07:44 |
| alevine | i have a backup disk with a bunch of backup sets that are mostly hard links to save space. if i want to replace that disk with a new one can i just do cp -a and it will preserve the links? | 07:44 |
| kitofhawaii | TylerJGillies: well you'd see two or three sets of jumpers, with IRQ and INT next to them, if it weren't pnp...though on an isa sb card, you may have a jumper for pnp | 07:45 |

| TylerJGillies | kitofhawaii: similar not really though | 07:48 |
| macogw | keoni: i can take one | 07:48 |
| Stafilacok | macogw, you mean driver? but i need it | 07:48 |
| nantax | macogw: thanks... lol, i would use xchat but that would make me open two clients, i prefer pidgin | 07:48 |
| kitofhawaii | TylerJGillies: well more so all those jumpers down by the pins | 07:48 |
| bullgard4 | macogw: Can you elaborate. Of course there is some connection with the word 'dictionary'. That's trivial. | 07:49 |

| aurax | hi, i'm using ubuntu 7 and when trying to mount using fstab i'm getting : cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. | 07:50 |
| Ademan | riaal: you might have better luck in #bash | 07:50 |
| kitofhawaii | TylerJGillies: the one on the right is for older cdrom support, the pins on top are generally for media connections | 07:50 |
| Stafilacok | I Hate ATI and this drivers :( | 07:50 |
| Jordan_U | Ademan, You might be able to do something with squid proxy | 07:50 |

| keoni | ya can you get it all on one shot? | 07:50 |
| kitofhawaii | TylerJGillies: ok you probably have an sb16 pnp..maybe try it without the irq reserved | 07:50 |
| gerro | Stafilacok: start > system > restricted drivers | 07:50 |

| Ademan | Jordan_U: ah, well i was considering implementing one, just i'd hate to reinvent the wheel lol | 07:50 |
| keoni | sweet | 07:50 |
| macogw | keoni: pm me your email address | 07:51 |
| Jordan_U | Luke, There is clamAV and AVG free | 07:51 |
| Stafilacok | Luke, ClamAV | 07:51 |
| gerro | Stafilacok: yes I agree ati sucks no matter what system or device you use, that is very close to fact | 07:51 |
| TylerJGillies | kitofhawaii: ok thanks for the info | 07:51 |
| kitofhawaii | TylerJGillies: irq collision with other pnp devices is possible (since you have a mb with an ISA slot its from a generation of unreliable IRQ) | 07:51 |
| Jordan_U | Luke, The former is Free ( as in freedom ) software, though it's made for things like linux mail server filtering, so I think it only detects viruses, not removes them | 07:52 |
| Jordan_U | Luke, The latter is the same as AVG free for win AFIK | 07:52 |
| aurax | someone? | 07:52 |
| kitofhawaii | TylerJGillies: in those cases it's always better to let the OS take care of assignment...if that doesn't work, it's probably questionable | 07:52 |
| TylerJGillies | kitofhawaii: cool. thanks again | 07:53 |

| Jordan_U | shay_, Pidgin and AMSN, possibly others also | 07:55 |
| Stafilacok | shay_, Pidgin - cool | 07:55 |
| MasterShrek | Jay-Oh-En: use metacity search on gnome look, metacity themes is what you are looking for, and icon sets | 07:55 |
| MasterShrek | gdm themes too | 07:55 |
| kitofhawaii | Jay-Oh-En: if you got compiz running, try emerald if you're looking to make it ultra purty :) | 07:55 |
| aurax | something like: | 07:56 |

| MasterShrek | why not use cifs in your fstab entry? | 07:57 |
| macogw | Jay-Oh-En: and compizconfig-settings-manager to get nice fun ettings | 07:57 |
| MasterShrek | if you mounted it with that | 07:57 |
| macogw | shay_: kopete as well | 07:57 |

| Proteus | I cant just have the login screen start a different windows manager? | 08:00 |
| kitofhawaii | Proteus: or just load the xfce window manager...you can switch between the two | 08:00 |
| macogw | shay_: vnc is a protocol, i think. search in synaptic. you need a vnc server on whichever computer will be controlled and vnc client (tightvnc comes to mind for windows) for whichever does the controlling | 08:00 |
| aurax | MasterShrek: i don't even know how to debug it, is there a change that the server rejectes smb? | 08:00 |
| macogw | Proteus: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 08:00 |
| kitofhawaii | Proteus: exactly :) | 08:01 |
| como | I used to have hibernate, but now it's broken | 08:01 |
| MasterShrek | aurax: does it work from a windows client? | 08:01 |
| macogw | Proteus: or find xubuntu-desktop in synaptic | 08:01 |
| Proteus | right, I'm using a xubuntu system, but I'd like to try out ubuntu without a lot of hassle. I'm on an older system and want to know how well it can handle ubuntu | 08:01 |
| aurax | MasterShrek i guess that yes | 08:01 |
| macogw | Proteus: oh then install ubuntu-desktop | 08:01 |
| Proteus | macogw, ok | 08:02 |
| Proteus | macogw: and then what do I configure to be able to switch between the two? | 08:02 |
| macogw | Proteus: if it came with windows 98, it can run ubuntu better than it runs xp, but not well, if that helps any | 08:02 |
| macogw | Proteus: when you login, click "sessions" and pick GNOME for ubuntu and Xfce for xubuntu | 08:02 |
| Proteus | macogw: ah. As easy as that. Nice! | 08:03 |

| MasterShrek | good evening | 08:07 |
| shay_ | macogw: in the same router, (but i am planing also to remote the ubuntu desktop from other places ) | 08:08 |
| macogw | shay_: you'll have to set up port forwarding on the router to access it from elsewhere | 08:08 |
| MasterShrek | shay_: you want to be able to remote desktop? | 08:08 |
| MasterShrek | from outside the router? | 08:08 |

| spartan | hey folks is there any software which prevents us frm being tracked? | 08:09 |
| MasterShrek | yea, just get the ports working inside your network, then forward ports from your router | 08:09 |
| spartan | heard about apple | 08:09 |
| Proteus | macogw: so I'm installing ubuntu-desktop now. I see that it's installing a lot of things like compiz that can't possibly run on this system ..... also, will installing this in any way affect my xfce workspace? | 08:09 |
| MasterShrek | get the program working | 08:09 |
| spartan | is it true? | 08:09 |
| * MasterShrek needs sleep, cant even type straight | 08:10 | |

| Proteus | macogw, Cool! Thanks for the help, man. | 08:10 |

| kousotu | ubuntu_: install XP first | 09:01 |
| kousotu | then Ubuntu | 09:01 |

| kousotu | ubuntu_: grub will find XP, but Xp won't fing grub | 09:03 |
| ubuntu_ | right. makes sense | 09:03 |
| kahrytan | kousotu➲ XP would erase grub mbr though | 09:03 |
| kousotu | :) | 09:03 |

| kahrytan | ubuntu_➲ nah. You can add xp manually if you want | 09:06 |
| kousotu | ubuntu_: grub won't see it unless told to | 09:06 |
| ubuntu_ | okay. i'll just come back here for that part | 09:06 |

| kahrytan | kousotu➲ and fdisk /mbr would kill grub. | 09:48 |

| rsvampire | I've been using Gutsy for a couple months now, and I'm a nerd so I'm not totally clueless and all about desktop bling | 09:50 |
| kousotu | kahrytan: it won't boot through Vista, yes | 09:50 |
| Volvagia356 | HELP?!? | 09:51 |
| kousotu | but I'm working on booting it seperatly | 09:51 |
| kahrytan | kousotu➲ what you use xp for? | 09:51 |
| gonzoism | kousotu does it have autoconf or automake stuff for making it ? is it perl stuff ? is there a readme or install or similiar ? | 09:51 |
| kousotu | kahrytan: XP-only stuff | 09:51 |
| kahrytan | kousotu➲ games? | 09:51 |
| gonzoism | Pirate_Hunter did you sudo fsck it ? | 09:51 |
| kousotu | kahrytan: yes, that and other things | 09:51 |
| kousotu | gonzoism: the app? lemme check | 09:51 |
| kahrytan | kousotu➲ cuz Vmware can run entire partitions in emulation mode | 09:51 |
| rsvampire | ok well whatever, I'll type out my problem anyways and see if anyone wants to help me | 09:52 |
| kousotu | gonzoism: nope | 09:52 |
| gonzoism | its all cold and rainy outside. | 09:52 |
| arooni-mobile | what is a good activesync replacement (that makes it easy to sync files & such....... but also install programs to)......... ideas? | 09:52 |
| gonzoism | kousotu hmm... small program ? few files ? maybe just run gcc on it. | 09:52 |
| rsvampire | Ubuntu is detecting my onboard soundcard (VIA 8237) and also my Sound Blaster card | 09:53 |
| kousotu | gonzoism: it's secondlife | 09:53 |
| kousotu | it's not small | 09:53 |
| gonzoism | kousotu gcc -i whatever.c++ -o whatever_you_want_bin_name_to_be | 09:53 |
| rsvampire | and it'll load the sound card it detects first as the default... even though I've set asoundconf to use my sound blaster card as default | 09:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gonzoism: yup it dont work fsck cnat seem to ccheck it | 09:53 |
| Volvagia356 | I have a boot problem here | 09:53 |
| rsvampire | some programs (mainly WINE and Ardour) are still using the primary reconized card | 09:53 |
| gonzoism | kousotu oh. there should be build instructions somewhere, or a linux folder, or a howto on a the net or something. check for a docs or Documentation folder too. maybe builds folder will have a linux script | 09:54 |
| gonzoism | Pirate_Hunter | 09:54 |
| gonzoism | Pirate_Hunter ah. what format is on it ? | 09:54 |
| rsvampire | is there anyway for me to permanently disable my onboard sound? it's already disabled in the BIOS so I'm not sure why Ubuntu is detecting it | 09:54 |
| gonzoism | Pirate_Hunter ah.... i bet ntfs. | 09:54 |
| rsvampire | and I can't seem to just get rid of the darn thing... so anybody got any ideas? | 09:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gonzoism: /dev/sda1 is my NTFs partition | 09:54 |
| gonzoism | Pirate_Hunter maybe that is the deal ? cause i hear linux doesn't like ntfs a lot. a bunch of people gripe | 09:54 |
| Volvagia356 | I'm running on a LiveCD and need help! | 09:55 |
| kousotu | gonzoism: hm.. seems to already be compiled, according to Lindinlabs | 09:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gonzoism: youre ahead of me lol yeah but i need to boot to that partition lol it is actually important it holds work material | 09:55 |
| kousotu | but it freezes the entire PC | 09:55 |
| whalesalad | hey guys, we have a quad proc, eight core server running CENT OS right now and we're quickly becoming an Ubuntu server house and wanna transition but one of the guys on our team asked the question, will ubuntu server work and take advantage of our 8 cores out of the box? Will we need to manually install/compile a new kernel? I can't seem to find any documentation on SMP stuff with ubuntu. | 09:55 |
| gonzoism | Pirate_Hunter ah. well. hmm.... well, you can get one of those rescue disks off distrowatch.com and maybe that will work ? or a windows disk to run ckdsk or whatever disk checker on it. | 09:55 |
| gonzoism | Pirate_Hunter any idea how it got messed up ? | 09:56 |
| erpo | I have a spreadsheet in Openoffice that contains student homework grades. Each row corresponds to a student, and each column corresponds to an individual homework assignment. I need to take the sum of each row, but I need to exclude the two lowest values in each row (each student's two worst scores are excluded from their final grade). How can I do this? | 09:56 |

| Nemoder | kousotu: ok thanks | 09:57 |
| whalesalad | Nemoder: yeah, gutsy (7.10) has ntfs write built in | 09:57 |
| gonzoism | Pirate_Hunter hm... defrag from inside of windows ? (i hope | 09:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kousotu: dont need that gutsy mounts it by itself but last night i was working on it and today i cnat boot into it | 09:58 |
| alanbshepard70 | is it normal behavior for you to have to move your mouse cursor off of a dialog box then back on it to activate a button? I'm constantly having to do this. | 09:58 |

| Pirate_Hunter | gonzoism: thank you very much | 09:58 |
| gonzoism | Pirate_Hunter lol, you never know. :) if i were gonna do it, i'd have more faith in a linux defragger for ntfs... :) | 09:59 |

| Volvagia356 | Can anybody help me with an ubuntu boot issue? | 10:00 |
| Volvagia356 | Can anybody help me with an Ubuntu boot issue? | 10:01 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: here's my problem | 10:01 |
| gonzoism | Pirate_Hunter http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=systemrescue i would start with that maybe ? but you might want to ask some windows people if you know any.... maybe because i don't know about windows. that cd does do ntfs though.... | 10:01 |
| fi0na | Hello! I recently tried this guide http://linux.dsplabs.com.au/no-volume-control-gstreamer-plugins-and-or-devices-found-no-sound-or-voume-control-bug-on-ubuntu-p31/ to fix my sound problems (no sound, exactly as in the guide) suddenly problems arouse. When I executed the commands "chmod -R a+rwx /dev/snd" and "sudo usermod -G audio <my user>" as root, the Update Manager stopped to work. | 10:01 |
| fi0na | When I try to launch the Update Manager a particular error message appears: Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window' '--non-interactive' '--parent-window-id' '41943043' '--update-at-startup' as user root. | 10:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gonzoism: np will look into it now and will ask as well thanx | 10:02 |
| fi0na | Also "The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator" | 10:02 |
| gonzoism | kousotu dunno... you can run the command, file bin/filename on it and see what kind of file it is. | 10:02 |
| alanbshepard70 | Volvagia356: What's the issue? It's better to ask the question than to ask if you can ask a question | 10:02 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: my onboard sound is disabled in my BIOS but Gutsy still detects it and sometimes wants to use it as the default sound card. I have my Sound Blaster card set in my asoundconf to default | 10:02 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: wow. I had that EXACT problem | 10:02 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: so when I first boot Ubuntu sometimes the login sound doesn't play (it detects my onboard sound first) and once I log in and the asound is set it'll use my sound blaster card | 10:03 |
| Volvagia356 | Can anybody help me with an ubuntu boot issue? | 10:03 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: so programs like WINE and Ardour will try and use my onboard sound because it detected it first and will default to those settings no matter waht | 10:03 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: I don't remember exactly what I did... hang on | 10:03 |
| kritzstapf | Volvagia356: as long as you dont tell us the problem nobody can help you | 10:03 |
| fi0na | And other strange this too, some menus from the System -> Administration menu disappeared. And when I try to add these back via the Main menu setting the just uncheck themselves from the tickboxes after I've ticked them. | 10:03 |
| gonzoism | my acer aspire 5600 freezes up on me for a few minutes at random intervals..... anyone ? i think it has to do with it polling the drives to see if any new media has been put in it, like the cdrom and usbs. | 10:04 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: so I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of that driver or somehow tell Ubuntu to load my sound blaster card into Slot 0 all the time... it's detecting based off IRQ settings | 10:04 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: alright | 10:04 |
| gonzoism | Volvagia356 no. try just asking your question. or state your problem, and then ask for help. its hard to drag information out of people.. | 10:04 |
| Volvagia356 | gonzoisme: It's a complicated question | 10:05 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: it's such a pain. I mean for crying out loud the card is disabled in the frickin bios! why does it use it? *grumble* | 10:05 |
| gonzoism | Volvagia356 if you never ask, i bet you never get an answer. | 10:05 |
| gonzoism | Volvagia356 :) | 10:05 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: hang on, lemme turn my ubuntu box on | 10:06 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: exactly! and I'm tierd of the forums because I wait 3 days for someone to say "disable it in the BIOS" after I already posted I did! grrr... | 10:06 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: cool, thanks | 10:06 |
| Volvagia356 | gonzoisme: Look at this thread: gonzoisme: | 10:06 |
| Volvagia356 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637770 | 10:06 |
| Volvagia356 | when I boot ubuntu, it spruts out multiple errors and fails to boot | 10:06 |
| Volvagia356 | The entire file-system is read only | 10:07 |
| fi0na | Anyone familiar with my issue? | 10:07 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: I _think_ what I did was set it as default by doing 'sudo asoundconf set-default-card cardname' | 10:08 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: it says something about that having unintended consequences, but it worked for me as I recall | 10:09 |
| Kousotu | oh.. ppl lest :( | 10:09 |
| Kousotu | left* | 10:09 |
| alanbshepard70 | Volvagia356: did you try any of the ideas mentioned in the thread you posted? | 10:09 |
| gonzoism | Volvagia356 the fsck and fstab question was a good one. did you fsck and is /var seperate ? | 10:09 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: yeah that works for me... but like I said... it'll still detect my onboard sound when it loads GDM | 10:10 |
| rsvampire | it won't run the asoundconf file until AFTER you log in | 10:10 |
| rsvampire | but programs will still use that first intented card | 10:10 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: you used sudo to do it? | 10:10 |
| Volvagia356 | i fsck already and my /var is not seperate | 10:10 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: oh yeah of course | 10:10 |
| docgnome | that should set it for everyone not just your user. | 10:10 |
| gonzoism | Volvagia356 cool. can you /msg fstab to me ? or does fstab look right to you ? | 10:11 |
| Volvagia356 | what? | 10:11 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: hrm... Not sure. I really need to get to sleep, it's 2am here. If you still have the problem tomorrow I'll try and give you a hand with it. | 10:11 |
| Filled-Void | Has anyone tried installing Ubuntu 64 bit on Virtualbox ? | 10:11 |
| gonzoism | Volvagia356 the file /etc/fstab, have you checked it ? | 10:11 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: dude it's totally 2 am here too where are you? | 10:11 |
| zeroflag | I set up a new (custom built) kernel (based on ubuntu feisty sources off git). can I still use the binary modules for nvidia and the likes? | 10:12 |

| keoni | is there a way to find out what color is under the cursor? | 10:14 |
| gonzoism | and my dogs finally quit barking. they had been barking for hours.... | 10:14 |
| Volvagia356 | gozoism: I already sent it to you | 10:15 |
| gonzoism | keoni if you use the command, unclutter, you can turn the curser invisible after it stops moving, or if you want like the exact color name/number, you can use "gimp" and use that grab color thingie... i use that a lot. | 10:15 |
| gonzoism | 4 am here | 10:16 |
| keoni | well once i move the suction thing outside of the gimps window i get normal cursor | 10:16 |
| gonzoism | Volvagia356 you sent me /etc/fstab ? | 10:16 |
| Volvagia356 | yes | 10:17 |
| gonzoism | Volvagia356 i missed it | 10:17 |
| gonzoism | Volvagia356 will you send it again ? | 10:18 |
| * gonzoism wonders why it got so quiet. and hates his connection when it acts up... | 10:19 | |
| gonzoism | Volvagia356 if it were me, i would reboot from the cd, open up the console, fsck the linux partition(s), if they were ok, i'd mount them, like this:sudo mount /dev/whatever /mnt | 10:21 |
| ramvi | Ive recovered a partition and got 50k files. Lots of txt. Is there an app that can organize all the files depending on extension? | 10:22 |
| ramvi | Would really be great to get all .doc and .jpg into their own directories | 10:22 |
| ikonia | ramvi: shell script should sort that out | 10:23 |
| ramvi | ikonia: anything finished to use? | 10:23 |
| gonzoism | Volvagia356 then i would chroot to them: sudo chroot /mnt then i would mount everything. sudo mount -a then i would update again. then try rebooting like normal, and if that didn't work, try the alternate grub entry for the last kernel, and see if that works. also i would take a quick look at /etc/fstab and make sure that whatever the / partition is, gets mount ro, similiar to this : | 10:23 |
| gonzoism | # /dev/sda1 | 10:23 |
| gonzoism | UUID=333ae886-7ea8-49e5-9464-d07cdd54d276 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 10:23 |
| gonzoism | yeppers. | 10:23 |
| ikonia | ramvi: mv *.jpg /directory ? | 10:23 |

| ikonia | mihai1: you can't upgrade java to a newer version, but there are multiple versions in the ubuntu repo's. We can't really support limewire though as it is not packaged/built for ubuntu | 10:37 |

| Kodomut | when i install ubuntu it stops at 82% | 10:39 |
| mihai1 | whois ikonia | 10:39 |
| Kodomut | it says configuring apt, scanning the mirror | 10:39 |
| JacobSingh | I decided not to install the boot loader because I didn't want to lose my SuSE grub config (in case there is a problem) | 10:39 |
| Kodomut | can i skip that or something? | 10:39 |
| JacobSingh | now, how can I boot Ubuntu? | 10:39 |

| _evo_ | can anyone help with my previous question? | 10:41 |
| Kodomut | ikonia, not skip grub install, i want to skip the "scanning the mirror" part | 10:41 |
| Kodomut | it is still at 82% after 15 minutes | 10:41 |
| ikonia | _evo_: learn man ? | 10:41 |
| ikonia | Kodomut: scanning the mirror ? | 10:41 |
| Kodomut | yeah, at the install | 10:41 |
| Kodomut | at 82% | 10:41 |
| ikonia | oooh | 10:41 |
| ikonia | no, I think it auto checks for updates | 10:42 |

| a7p | ikonia, ppa = personal package archive? or ppa = power pc architecture? | 10:51 |

| bazhang | bobby: you want to upgrade how far? to the most recent release? or earlier | 10:57 |

| Jay-Oh-En | how can i configure the package "sleepd" please help me :[ | 11:51 |
| kahrytan | Kodomut➲ easy | 11:51 |
| uncommon | Kodomut : you can enable it through gconf-editor and nautilus or by installing ubuntu-tweak | 11:52 |
| kahrytan | Kodomut➲ Alt-F2. and run gconf-editor. Let me know when done | 11:52 |
| Kodomut | kahrytan okay it popped up | 11:53 |
| kahrytan | Kodomut➲ Under Apps>Nautilus>Desktop you will see the checkboxes | 11:53 |
| Toma- | arrow thief :) | 11:53 |
| kahrytan | Toma-➲ Different one. | 11:53 |
| Kodomut | thanks kahrytan ! can i change the icons sizes, too? | 11:53 |
| zeroflag | strange... | 11:54 |
| kahrytan | Kodo, right click on the icons. Stretch the icon | 11:54 |
| Kodomut | gee thanks | 11:54 |
| Kodomut | i'm so noob it must be annoying. | 11:54 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about new - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:54 |
| zeroflag | starting gdm by hand after loading nvidia modules by hand works fine. using init.d/gdm start loads the whole thing without nvidia... | 11:54 |
| kahrytan | !dumb | 11:54 |
| ubotu | The only dumb or stupid question is the one not asked. Please do not tell people off for asking something, just because it seems simple or obvious -- we discourage this attitude in all our channels. | 11:54 |
| uncommon | If i run this command "trackerd -v 2 -R " when to tell tracker has finished indexing? | 11:54 |
| kahrytan | Kodomut➲ you aren't annoying | 11:55 |
| riotkittie | Or you can change icon sizes in nautilus so theyre uniform. but it will resize nautilus icons as well. | 11:55 |
| kahrytan | Kodomut➲ you can change Home icon name un gconf-editor too | 11:56 |

| bazhang | Guest047: does the livecd work? | 12:12 |
| Guest047 | bazhang - thats what im using (havent managed to get it installed yet) | 12:12 |
| bazhang | Guest047: is this a dual boot? | 12:13 |
| Guest047 | bazhang - no - hwoever the system is going to be spread out among two drives (one for home, one for sys) | 12:13 |
| bazhang | Guest047: both drives are internal? | 12:14 |
| Guest047 | ja | 12:14 |
| aladdinsane | anybody know the difference between "Preload" and "Prefetch"? im running gutsy.. | 12:15 |
| Guest047 | ill give you a listing of what i have and where it lives: 2x 36g (one wont be mounted) SCSI on the PCI SCSI controller, one 320 for storage (sata), and one 200 for home (IDE) | 12:15 |
| Blackfoxtr | hi all | 12:15 |
| bazhang | Guest047: how about disconnecting those two external 36g drives and see if that makes a difference | 12:16 |
| kelsin | aladdinsane: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Prefetch that page seems to have some nice info about the differences | 12:17 |
| Guest047 | bazhang - theyre internal and no it doesnt make a difference | 12:17 |
| Guest047 | bazhang - the only thing which makes a difference is removing the SCSI controller completely | 12:17 |
| bazhang | Guest047: and then no way to use the sata dvd drive right? | 12:17 |
| Guest047 | bazhang - what do you mean?" | 12:18 |
| Guest047 | (slightly confused atm) | 12:18 |
| bazhang | removing the scsi controller | 12:18 |
| Guest047 | the sata dvd drive isnt connected to the SCSI contoller | 12:19 |
| bazhang | Guest047: so it works without the controller? | 12:19 |
| wy | I just noticed that Ubuntu 7.10 can write NTFS partition! | 12:20 |
| Guest047 | bazhang - yea .. however the controller is totally 100% sound as i pulled it out of a working netware box and put it back in etc etc etc (all testing) and it works fine with SUSE however i want to use ubuntu | 12:20 |
| Guest047 | lol wy | 12:21 |

| Blackfoxtr | nope | 12:22 |
| wy | I wonder how many of you are using 64bit version? | 12:22 |
| chronosx | somebody here knows proftpd? | 12:23 |
| wy | I know | 12:23 |
| Blackfoxtr | note: i have ubuntu 7:04 | 12:23 |
| Guest047 | chronosx - have you tried gproftpd? its quite nice | 12:23 |
| Blackfoxtr | 7.04** | 12:23 |
| chronosx | Guest047: i also use it :-) | 12:24 |

| Guest047 | blackfoxtr - can i have PCIID and DEVID? (through lspci) | 12:24 |
| Guest047 | wy - yea it is .... | 12:24 |

| chronosx | by any chance can i make this automatic in proftpd? because i want proftpd users who belong in same group to access/upload to same directory with same group | 12:27 |
| wy | I'm really considering going back to 32 bit | 12:27 |
| CaRtz | do we have to install an anti virus? | 12:27 |
| kelsin | chronosx: did you read that document? It describes the proftpd settings for what permissions to give to new files | 12:27 |
| astro76 | CaRtz, no | 12:27 |
| chronosx | kelsin: about to read now | 12:27 |
| CaRtz | astro76: okay. thanks . :) | 12:28 |
| wy | Can you let me do a survey. I want to know how many of you are using 64 bit for some time | 12:28 |
| chronosx | wy: why go bo back to 32 bit? i use 64 bit now, seems fine, everything ok | 12:28 |
| astro76 | wy, maybe start a poll thread on ubuntuforums.org | 12:28 |
| kelsin | CaRtz: clamav is nice (free) antivirus software for linux. But honestly you should only worry if you're running a mail server that serves mail to windows users. Otherwise if you're just talking about your desktop you're very safe without i | 12:28 |

| niwa | i'm having trouble getting wireless to work. I have a liteon wn5301a with artheros5413 chipset, which should be supported by madwifi | 12:30 |
| niwa | but after manually modprobing ath_pci, it still doesn't show up when doing iwconfig, even though the module loads fine :( | 12:30 |
| niwa | any ideas? | 12:30 |
| CaRtz | kelsin: i see. thank you. ^_^ | 12:30 |
| astro76 | wy, I don't think that's the method used anymore, but it is fully described there | 12:30 |
| dingdangdong | anybody using "gyache" ? | 12:30 |
| wy | astro76: I'm tired of configurations. So I'd rather wait for sometime when there isn't any compatibility issues | 12:31 |
| wy | Moreover, it seems that 64bit isn't much better than 32bit yet | 12:31 |
| kelsin | wy: if you're running a desktop and don't like configurations you're probably better off just running 32bit | 12:32 |
| astro76 | wy, most people will not see a benefit, indeed | 12:32 |
| wy | Considering that I've just installed this 64 for two days. It's not very costly to go back | 12:32 |
| dingdangdong | gyache user here? | 12:32 |
| kelsin | wy: you're still getting a lot of benefit from the chip even running everything in 32bit mode, unless you're really running science apps that make use of 64bit at the application level I would recommend just using 32bit | 12:33 |
| chronosx | kelsin: The proftpd daemon always starts with a base mode of 0666 when creating files. Note that Umask can only be used to "take away" permissions granted by the base mode; it cannot be used to add permissions that are not there. --> http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Umask.html | 12:33 |
| iKernel | Someone ask a stupid question | 12:33 |
| chronosx | kelsin: in my proftpd, the default directory mask is 755, how can i make it automatically 775? | 12:33 |
| kelsin | chronosx: yeah so proftpd can't make files executable, so you can still solve your problem by making the proftpd umask 0002 | 12:34 |
| wy | kelsin: I looked at the comparisons. It seems that only cryptography programs are much faster. That's because they use integer arithmetic a lot | 12:34 |
| brobostigon | hi | 12:34 |
| chronosx | kelsin: ok ignore the "x", at least make the rw for group also set. at least 664 | 12:34 |
| chronosx | kelsin: wait, i'll read further :-) | 12:35 |
| kelsin | chronosx: yeah so with umask 0002 proftpd will make new files 664 and new dirs 775 (at least from that document, I don't use it myself) | 12:35 |
| kelsin | wy: yep, which makes sense, so it's fully up to hassle of closed source parts (flash etc) vs speed of things like that | 12:36 |

| wy | kelsin: But surely 64 bit is nicer looking: 0x2afb83217000 | 12:36 |
| asjad | they were there before now they are gone | 12:36 |
| kelsin | chronosx: depending on your system you can also set the global umask in /etc/profile but clearly this leads to other security implications and I honestly don't know if proftpd resets it anyway | 12:36 |
| chronosx | kelsin: there i see it now in gproftd configuration. Umask 022 | 12:37 |
| kelsin | wy: hassle vs pointer beauty :) you decide | 12:37 |
| kelsin | chronosx: make that 002 and you should be good | 12:37 |

| riotkittie | and how are you trying to attempt to the other computers? | 12:38 |
| wy | But most of the time I'm using high level language like Haskell or Java. So I guess that won't make any difference. | 12:38 |
| asjad | kelsin, yes | 12:38 |
| camilo_cedetec | how can i install some compiler file, like make install, ./configure? | 12:39 |

| iKernel | Pashka[k45], no | 12:41 |
| bachstudies | just to let people know I think that using thunderbird with lightning 0.5 in linux mint sometimes causes a computer restart when sending attachments | 12:41 |

| asjad | kelsin, i double click it but nothing is inside | 12:41 |

| chronosx | kelsin: The proftpd daemon always starts with a base mode of 0666 when creating files. 777 for directories. hmm.. "always" seems this is by design? cannot be changed? :-) | 12:42 |
| kelsin | camilo_cedetec: if you need to compile from source and not use repos then install the "build-essential" package with synaptic or apt-get | 12:42 |
| RichiH | Pashka[k45]: please do not do that | 12:42 |
| kelsin | camilo_cedetec: that gives you the basic compiler and libraries, depending on the software you might also need to install other *-dev packages for different libraries | 12:42 |
| kelsin | chronosx: that's what that document says, like I said I don't use proftpd so I wouldn't know | 12:42 |

| kelsin | camilo_cedetec: did you get the gcc compile by instlaling it or by installing "build-essential"? | 12:47 |
| kelsin | skyfalcon866: you should read the docs for ceratin packages to find out if their data in /var is safe to delete | 12:48 |
| kelsin | skyfalcon866: like you probably don't want to blow away the db of what software you ahve installed, but deleteing the cache of debs that are saved after downloading is probably ok, stuff like that, it's up to the individual software, I wouldn't blindly delete /var though | 12:48 |
| camilo_cedetec | kelsin: i got it with the synaptic | 12:48 |
| kelsin | camilo_cedetec: by installing the gcc package or the build-essential package? | 12:49 |

| Guest047 | asjad - is the ubuntu box in the same workgroup? | 12:50 |
| kelsin | camilo_cedetec: ok then, the first step would be to do what I originally told you to do. Install the "build-essential" package, it installs the compiler and other libraries / programs you need | 12:50 |
| camilo_cedetec | just to install | 12:50 |
| asjad | Guest047, yep | 12:50 |
| kelsin | camilo_cedetec: after that it's up to you to find software out there, and try to install it if you're point is to learn | 12:50 |

| asjad | Guest047, yep | 12:51 |
| Slart | camilo_cedetec: take a look at the wine wiki for example.. there is a howto on how to install it from source.. I think the wiki is at http://wiki.winehq.org | 12:51 |
| camilo_cedetec | kelsin: i tryed to install some file that i downloaded from internet and ocurred some errors..... | 12:51 |
| Slart | camilo_cedetec: after you've done what kelsin told you | 12:52 |
| Guest047 | asjad - can you browse the workgroup from other xp machines | 12:52 |
| Sylvarant | \identify <Sylvarant> | 12:52 |
| asjad | Guest047, yep | 12:52 |
| Slart | Sylvarant: forward slash.. /identify | 12:53 |
| asjad | Guest047, it is only the ubuntu machine which does not show the other computers i have to access them via ip addresses | 12:53 |
| asjad | Guest047, for e.g. smb://192.168.1.4 | 12:53 |
| Guest047 | asjad - i do windows network engineering for a living so i understand whats going on - just dont understand why you cant browse the workgroup | 12:54 |
| kelsin | camilo_cedetec: ok, I am done talking to you unless you do what I tell you and INSTALL THE build-essential PACKAGE. Software compiling doesn't ONLY depend on gcc, they use make and other tools (autoconf, automake etc) you NEED the build-essential package so go to a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install build-essential" | 12:54 |
| asjad | Guest047, wow, but i can browse it via ip addresses though. | 12:55 |
| rabah | Hello | 12:55 |
| asjad | Guest047, the names are gone | 12:55 |
| kelsin | camilo_cedetec: after that you need to read the documentation for the software you're trying to install. It might depend on other libraries which means you need to install the -dev packages for those libraries as well. | 12:55 |

| fenrig | hi | 12:56 |
| camilo_cedetec | kelsin: thanks.... | 12:56 |

| Guest047 | asjad - by following whats written in the page | 12:57 |
| fenrig | thx | 12:57 |
| joejoe | if i had ubuntu installed on another box on a lan, and i formated my c drive ext3 and copied that installation, if i then wanted to install a boot loader on that drive i'd probably have trubble with grub ? | 12:57 |
| asjad | Slart, Guest047, yeah but my windows only have tcpip protocol | 12:57 |
| fabien | Bonjour, je voudrait utiliser ubuntu avec un univers KDE, comment faire ? | 12:57 |
| Guest047 | asjad - smb/cifs runs over tcpip | 12:57 |
| asjad | Guest047, well thanks again. | 12:57 |
| Slart | asjad: netbios over tcp/ip? | 12:57 |

| ubotu | fabien: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 12:58 |
| asjad | Slart, nope just tcpip, I am trying the suggestion by Guest047 | 12:58 |
| joejoe | what alternative is there, seeing that i don't think i can use grub ? | 12:58 |
| kelsin | joejoe: lilo, but why don't you think you can use grub? | 12:58 |
| joejoe | kelsin did you not see my first post ? | 12:59 |
| kelsin | joejoe: the one like ten lines ago? I don't fully understand your question from it | 12:59 |
| joejoe | kelsin i formated my c drive ext3 and copied ubuntu onto it. | 12:59 |
| kelsin | joejoe: and did you try installing grub on that drive yet? | 13:00 |
| Guest047 | joejoe - by using what tool? the livecd or the ubuntu windows installer | 13:00 |
| imanex | does anyone know how i can install kernel-2.6.20-10 with apt | 13:00 |
| joejoe | kelsin no i don't think it can be done. | 13:00 |
| problemisamba | how can I share folders wiht samba which dont belong to /home? | 13:00 |
| jacob | can somebody help me explain the bizzare behavior i'm having with my mouse, i'm using a laptop mouse (mouse pad) | 13:00 |
| problemisamba | !samba | 13:00 |
| ubotu | samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 13:00 |
| joejoe | Guest047 another linux installation | 13:00 |
| kelsin | joejoe: you just boot almost ANY live cd (I've used knoppix for this many times) and run "grub-install /dev/<drive>" and it will install grub onto that drive | 13:00 |
| jacob | it keeps twiching from place to place, i'm wondering if it's a software or harware problem | 13:01 |
| kelsin | grub uses the config files from /boot/grub on whatever drive it boots from. the grub-install program will find what partition has those files and use those when you run grub-install | 13:01 |
| Slart | kelsin: grub is very flexible.. it can be a bit of a kludge to setup though.. but I don't think there's another boot loader that's easier... so stick with grub | 13:01 |
| joejoe | kelsin but do you really think that grub will install on a disk with no partition | 13:01 |
| kelsin | !grub | joejoe | 13:01 |
| ubotu | joejoe: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 13:01 |
| kelsin | joejoe: wait wait wait you said you reformatted ext3 and copied ubuntu onto it, how does it not have a partition? | 13:02 |
| Slart | joejoe: didn't you just say you had a ext3 partition on there? | 13:02 |
| BB882 | Anybody know why ubuntu does not allow me to utilize my full network connection. I can only use about 10% of my internet connection? | 13:02 |
| kelsin | joejoe: you can also follow the dir for "lost grub after installing windows" cause you're dealing with the same thing, a drive without grub on it, but with a ubuntu install | 13:02 |
| joejoe | kelsin i didn't say. reformatted you did | 13:02 |
| bobby | anybody help! i just attached a new harddisk of a friend, but am not able to mount it. i can see the partitions using fdisk but there is no /dev/hdb5 or /dev/hdb6. only /dev/hdb | 13:02 |

| joejoe | Slart no. i did not. | 13:03 |

| Slart | BB882: a network connection has 2 ends.. are you sure it's not the other end that's limiting you? | 13:03 |
| kelsin | joejoe: ok but you said "I formatted my c drive ext3"... whether you "re"formatted or not, you still crated a ext3 filesystem on the drive, you would have to have a partition to do that | 13:03 |
| Guest047 | bobby - run gparted and see what partitions are there and what format they are | 13:03 |
| asjad | Guest047, what is a WINS Server? | 13:03 |
| bobby | ok | 13:03 |
| kelsin | joejoe: then please restate what you did, since what you previously said is wrong | 13:03 |

| Guest047 | asjad - not really used anymore because of advances in DNS - but its netbios stuff and you aint using netbios | 13:05 |
| kelsin | joejoe: you can't have a filesystem (ext3) or files (ubuntu) on a non-existing partition | 13:05 |

| joejoe | kelsin yes i do. | 13:05 |
| * Guest047 gently nudges bazhang to see if he is back | 13:05 | |
| Slart | joejoe: if you have a file system you have a partition.. and that's not a question.. you're not allowed to disagree =) | 13:05 |
| joejoe | Slart no. i said i don't have a aprtition | 13:05 |

| xLE | sudo apt-get ghc6 < what verison is that? 6.6.0? 6.6.1? 6.6.2? | 13:06 |
| Guest047 | bobby if your not going to do what we ask quit spamming the channel | 13:06 |
| bobby | sorry :( | 13:06 |
| bobby | i did what u told me, its fat32 | 13:07 |
| Ximal | How do I password protect archives/zip files i create ? | 13:07 |
| bobby | i installed gparted and saw that both the partitions are fat32 | 13:07 |
| kelsin | joejoe: ok then you're doing stuff with your drive way more advanced then this channel can help you with, or you're just not listening to us, I would suggest installing grub onto this drive with "grub-install /dev/<drive>" if it doesn't it won't wreck anything and then you can do some reading about partitions and drives and figure it out on your own | 13:07 |
| Guest047 | bobby - so you have two partitions that are fat32? | 13:07 |
| Slart | joejoe: then I don't think anyone here can help you... you've managed to do something noone else has.. putting files on a hard drive without a partition.. amazing | 13:07 |
| jacob | could it be software issue or hardware issue cause it used to work on my laptop on this new updated ubuntu version gusty | 13:07 |
| bobby | Guest047 - yeah, 2 partitions on the new disk which are fat 32 | 13:07 |
| Guest047 | bobby - what size are the partitions? | 13:08 |
| Slart | BB882: sorry.. got carried away with the hard drive stuff.. =).. I have no idea why your ubuntu box would be 10 times slower than a vista machine using regular http traffic.. | 13:08 |
| bobby | Guest047 - 39.07GB and 15.92 GB | 13:08 |
| Guest047 | bobby - the 39 gig wont mount because fat32 has a 32gb limitation | 13:08 |
| joejoe | Slart linux doesn't need a partition to make a file system. anyone can do that. mke2fs -j /dev/hda and blam you have what i have. | 13:08 |
| Slart | BB882: how did you measure the network traffic? | 13:09 |
| BB882 | I know, it is bizarre. If I am doing something remotely "network intensive", then my internet suffers. | 13:09 |
| bobby | Guest047 - but i mounted it in an another ubuntu system | 13:09 |
| bobby | how is that possible | 13:09 |
| Guest047 | bobby - im willing to bet you have corrupted the fs by mounting it | 13:09 |
| bobby | :( | 13:09 |
| BB882 | Well I am downloading a torrent, it is going around 86kb/s, when in theory, the speed of the current torrent is 18mb/s, and has around 200 seeders, with 10 leechers. So in theory, I should max out. | 13:09 |
| joejoe | kelsin ok. thank you for responding. and i'm thinking lilo will work ok. | 13:09 |
| kelsin | joejoe: that is not the recommended way to isntall anything onto a drive. Again you're doing stuff that is not supported or recommended. You can play with doing that all you want, but it's up to you to read grub or lilo docs and figure out how to install a bootloader yourself | 13:10 |
| bobby | ok | 13:10 |
| bobby | let me see what i can do | 13:10 |
| bobby | thanks for the help guys | 13:10 |
| bobby | bbye | 13:10 |
| Guest047 | bobby - open a terminal and type in "cat /var/log/messages |grep fat" and you should see a message about unable to mount and it will give you a reason | 13:10 |
| bobby | ok | 13:10 |
| bobby | Guest047 - 1 min | 13:10 |
| bobby | Guest047 - nothin there | 13:11 |
| joejoe | kelsin confession time. i already know all about how to install lilo, and already knew that grub can't install there because of it not having a partition. just thought i'd educate anyone that might "think they knew" hope that wasn't to offencive. :) | 13:11 |
| xLE | sudo apt-get ghc6 < what verison is that? 6.6.0? 6.6.1? 6.6.2? | 13:12 |
| Guest047 | xLE - have a look in synaptic or there should be a flag you can put through apt to find out | 13:12 |
| xLE | !ghc | 13:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ghc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 13:12 |
| kelsin | joejoe: educate people on how to do something they shouldn't be doing? and then how to fix it??? This is a support chanell for helping people, OBVIOUSLY we're going to respond as if you didn't force creation of a file system on a blank drive device, casue we assume if you're doing that you know what you're doing | 13:12 |
| kelsin | joejoe: go waste time somewhere else please | 13:12 |
| bobby | which driver should be installed for fat32? | 13:13 |
| Guest047 | bobby - no such thing as a driver in ubuntu -its a module ... whats the error message | 13:13 |
| joejoe | kelsin no educate them to the fact that "if someone tries that, and they do. you can know in advance that you can't use grub there." | 13:13 |
| bobby | Guest047 - no error message is there. | 13:13 |
| bobby | cat + grep fat returned nothing | 13:13 |
| kelsin | joejoe: we would NEVER have someone do that ever, and if they did by accident we would fix it, it not anything new and now you've wasted my time, thanks and good day | 13:13 |
| Guest047 | bobby - what about grepping for FAT or Fat | 13:14 |
| bobby | which module should be present for reading fat32? | 13:14 |
| vasser | i am trying to boot the live 7.10 cd on my machine, but i can't get to the graphics mode | 13:14 |
| xLE | thanks Guest047. | 13:14 |
| joejoe | kelsin your time is cheep. you violenteer here.... ;/ and good day. | 13:15 |
| bobby | actually i have other fat32 partitions on my first hard disk mounted, and working fine | 13:15 |
| bobby | its just the second hard disk fat partitions that are giving me the problems | 13:15 |
| Guest047 | bobby also dmesg | grep sdb | 13:15 |

| RantingHuman | I have an external hard disk which uses ntfs. Is there any partitioning tool for ubuntu that can create an ext3 partition from the free space on it, without losing data? | 13:16 |
| quittt_ | is there any way to make Gnome lighter?? | 13:16 |
| Guest047 | whoa arabeyes - that looks like fun dead drive or controller | 13:16 |
| bobby | Guest047 - nothin with grep sdb, but i got a whole lot of shit with grep hdb | 13:16 |
| hwolff | hello | 13:16 |

| ArabEyes | Guest047 , i did not understand wt did u say !! | 13:18 |
| kelsin | RantingHuman: if you're only making an ext3 in un-used space sure, just install gparted from synaptic and use it | 13:19 |
| kelsin | RantingHuman: you obviously can't do anything the works on the partitions you're currently using, but past that you should be ok, gparted will tell you if it can't do something | 13:19 |
| Ximal | I'm having trouble using the GNuPG program that comes with Ubuntu .. Would someone explain to me what the proper command is to start gnupg's interface ? | 13:19 |

| kitche | vegpuff: of course it will | 13:27 |
| Guest047 | vasser - no - you need to use envy or download the official nvidia driver and run that | 13:27 |

| kitche | mahousaru: eh free just guesses really at how memory is used at least I found it to be inaccurate | 13:27 |
| vasser | Guest047: thanks for your help | 13:27 |
| Ximal | i think it was just doing encryption ... | 13:27 |
| kelsin | Ximal: also depends on how many bits you set it to (all my keys are just default length) | 13:28 |
| Guest047 | vasser - dont hav emuch else to do while waiting for bazhang to get back | 13:28 |
| mahousaru | kitche: oki i'll keep that in mind :) ty | 13:28 |

| Guest047 | rantinghuman - get yourself a copy of bartpe and partitionmagic | 13:29 |

| ubuntu_ | Administrator: yes sda is the root drive xp is on /sda1 & ubuntu on /sda2 | 13:38 |

I run ubuntu 7.10, and firefox, both fully patched, first install I went to youtube and installed it trough firefox with the 'Install plugin'-thing it got, I also tried reinstalling it using synpatic directly.

| Picchio | is there a way to quote "Wipe out the python modules and reinstall" ? that's the only thing i found googling my problem | 15:15 |
| Ximal | is there a front-end visual editor for your boot menu.lst ? | 15:16 |
| Ximal | so I don't accidentally fook up something | 15:17 |
| wols | Ximal: no | 15:17 |
| wols | there is update-grub tho | 15:17 |
| gladier | Ximal, grubed | 15:17 |
| wols | Picchio: sure ther is | 15:17 |
| wols | !info grubed | 15:18 |
| ubotu | Package grubed does not exist in gutsy | 15:18 |
| kelsin | Ximal: you can backup the file, and grub lets you edit the lines it's using right on the boot screen (I think the option is e) so you can always find errors while booting and fix them as well | 15:18 |
| mosno | !info grub | 15:18 |

| merps | when booting from the cd, has anyone come across flashing colors / graphic artifects just after loading the kernel? | 15:23 |
| merps | from the forums it's suggested to burn at low speed and check the md5, which i've done and still have this problem | 15:24 |
| profanephobia | merps, use the alternate cd | 15:24 |
| FLUxXxX | it's not the cd.. | 15:24 |
| profanephobia | but the alternate wont cause those problems | 15:24 |
| merps | so graphic problems at that stage doesn't mean i'll have the same problem once installed from the alternate? | 15:25 |
| FLUxXxX | you could install in text mode but what if on first reboot you get the same graphic garbage? | 15:25 |
| merps | FLUxXxX that's exactly what i'm wondering | 15:25 |

| rance | merps: if you can ssh to your box, do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and have it redetect your video hardware, difference is that this time it will show you what it figured out, and you can fix what doesnt work.

| Picchio | wols: apt-get without parameters does it to and there is purge listed, not to mention that apt-get itself that it purge is no supported operation | 15:29 |
| profanephobia | merps, i recommend at least trying to install... if the problem persists we can try to fix it | 15:29 |
| Picchio | +tells me | 15:30 |
| profanephobia | Picchio, well you can try sudo apt-get remove <packagename> --purge i think | 15:30 |
| merps | profanephobia: yeah i'm thinking i might have to try it that way | 15:31 |
| Picchio | man i need to write more carefully =) *there is no purge listed, profanephobia ok someone wrote apt-get purge packagename before ;) | 15:31 |

| rance | ajul, you dont, windows doesnt see the drive becuase the ubuntu partition is not a dos/ntfs partition that windows understands how to work with | 16:08 |
| wols | brobostigon: there is a driver for it | 16:08 |
| void^ | !ext3 | ajul | 16:09 |
| ubotu | ajul: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 16:09 |
| loke_ | ajul: That's not quite how it works. You'll need to install something like explore2fs | 16:09 |

| abdulla | tag, do you know katapult? | 16:47 |

| Slart | abdulla: seems gobuntu is regular ubuntu with all proprietary stuff removed.. a more pure distro.. is that what you were looking for? | 16:52 |
| ACT1220 | Ace2016 - i don't own another mouse. so that is not an option. | 16:52 |
| rubax | the problem is that the host pc is behind a firewall | 16:52 |
| bazhang | Slart: iirc it's gnome-launch-box | 16:52 |
| XiXaQ | loke_? It's alot faster to use launchpad than it is to manually sift through each bug manually every time. | 16:52 |
| Slart | !gobuntu | bazhang | 16:52 |

| Ace2016 | ACT1220: ok, well you said you don't own another mouse, so i suggested you get another one, so you have another mouse | 16:53 |
| rubax | and the networking dept. swears that the firewall is configured to accept connections | 16:53 |
| ACT1220 | yes | 16:53 |
| astra-x- | could anyone ask me why you want to run gOS? How could running all of your apps by webservices be better than running local applications? | 16:53 |
| Slart | bazhang: perhaps "go ubuntu" is something else.. | 16:53 |
| ACT1220 | and there is a huge ice storm and i do not feel like going out in it to get one | 16:53 |
| bazhang | Slart: indeed :} | 16:53 |

| abdulla | Slart, no you missed understood me , i was talking about the Katapult technology built with KDE its great , i was thinking of finding the same in gnome and thought theyr is a similar app and yes theyr is as bazhang says gnome-launch-box | 16:54 |

| filthpig | !madwifi | 16:54 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 16:54 |
| kitche | astra-x-: I think your confusing two operating systems | 16:54 |
| bazhang | abdulla: then you should ask in #kubuntu | 16:55 |
| aladdinsane | jrib: ok, you are right, Pidgeon are installed on most ubuntu computers, but i wasnt really looking for such a solution, i wanted to know how to install an application completely on a usb stick, like the ones on portableapps.com | 16:55 |
| abdulla | bazhang, this what came gnome-launch-box - an application launcher. | 16:55 |
| rubax | !vnc | 16:55 |

| NoorulIslaam | what could be the cause of the problem? | 16:56 |
| kitche | astra-x-: you do know gOS is also green OS which is in a laptop that is sold cheap | 16:56 |
| aladdinsane | wols: compile, just the word scares me | 16:56 |
| bazhang | astra-x-: cloudbook runs it | 16:56 |
| abdulla | bazhang, they says its Gnome Do | 16:57 |
| astra-x- | right, those via c7 systems that ultra low wattage walmart and newegg have them | 16:57 |
| filthpig | nm, problem solved :) | 16:58 |

| mvanbaak | I was wondering if Ubuntu also has a testing version | 17:58 |
| loke_ | unrar x *.rar | 17:58 |
| mvanbaak | I'm running 7.10 now, but want the newer version :) | 17:58 |
| mvanbaak | to see if it no longer freezes my lenovo T61p when doing massive transfers over my wireless interface | 17:59 |
| skyfalcon866 | if i am installing xp should i delete ubuntu then put xp on then reinstall ubuntu | 17:59 |
| pestilence | mvanbaak: what wireless card? | 17:59 |
| mvanbaak | pestilence: intel 3945 | 17:59 |
| BernardB | loke_, thanks x works, but now I'm wondering, why doesn't e work? | 17:59 |
| wols | skyfalcon866: no, why? | 17:59 |
| pestilence | mvanbaak: what driver are you using? | 17:59 |
| mvanbaak | pestilence: ipw3945 | 18:00 |
| loke_ | I have no idea what e is supposed to do. | 18:00 |
| francesco | Hello, guys! I have a problem with some multimedia files. Can I give the address? | 18:00 |
| SuPeRhOmEm | Hi all, plz I've just installed apache 2.2.4 in my ubuntu 7.10 and got a blank httpd.conf file, how can I fix it? | 18:00 |
| pestilence | mvanbaak: you should try iwl3945, it works much better for me on my dell vostro | 18:00 |
| skyfalcon866 | wols:cuz windows likes being on the 1st partition and i only have a 3rd partition open | 18:00 |
| mvanbaak | pestilence: how ? ;) | 18:00 |
| pestilence | mvanbaak: the ipw3945 driver would stop working for me during large transfers too. not so with the iwl driver | 18:00 |
| francesco | (I'm using Mozilla Firefox) | 18:00 |
| oklopol | /dev/dsp seems to be locked, fuser gives nothing about it; people seem to be having the same problem on forums, but nothing really works | 18:00 |
| pestilence | mvanbaak: i think there are two key steps | 18:01 |
| loke_ | oklopol: Firefox is probably using it. | 18:01 |
| oklopol | isn't there any way to just see who's using the file? :\ | 18:01 |
| pestilence | mvanbaak: put iwlwifi_mac80211 and iwl3945 in /etc/modules | 18:01 |
| oklopol | i closed firefox | 18:01 |
| loke_ | lsof /dev/dsp | 18:01 |
| oklopol | didn't help | 18:01 |
| oklopol | oh | 18:01 |
| oklopol | i'll try | 18:01 |
| oklopol | gives nothing | 18:01 |
| pestilence | mvanbaak: then put "blacklist ipw3945" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 18:01 |
| loke_ | Are you sure Firefox is closed? killall firefox firefox-bin | 18:02 |
| oklopol | i have feisty fawn... i think :P | 18:02 |
| oklopol | okay, i'll try | 18:02 |
| zeroflag | my network device is gone. only lo left. any idea how to get back my ethernet device? (nforce 630a) | 18:02 |
| pestilence | mvanbaak: reboot, then you should have the iwl driver loaded (check with lsmod) | 18:02 |
| oklopol | loke_: no process killed | 18:02 |
| loke_ | Interesting. | 18:02 |
| oklopol | indeed. | 18:02 |
| mvanbaak | pestilence: thanks | 18:03 |
| mvanbaak | brb, rebooting ;) | 18:03 |
| loke_ | oklopol: Firefox is the usual suspect, I'm afraid you might haveto kill x and try all over again. | 18:03 |
| oklopol | kill x? | 18:03 |
| loke_ | ctrl+alt+backspace, closes all apps and forces you to log in again. | 18:03 |
| oklopol | oh... hmm... that's not nice :\ | 18:03 |
| loke_ | That *should* free up /dev/dsp if something's using it | 18:03 |
| oklopol | it's a bug then? | 18:04 |
| loke_ | oklopol: Likely. But first we need to know if an application is to blame, or if your sound device is not configured properly. | 18:04 |
| loke_ | Restarting X is the only way I know of to "fix" the problem, since lsof /dev/dsp shows nothing. | 18:05 |

| loke_ | El_Burro: No, I don't. | 18:05 |
| wols | skyfalcon866: wrong. windows runs from other partitions too | 18:05 |
| oklopol | hmph, i guess i'll kill x now, then, see you in a few minutes with the same problem, most likely ;) | 18:06 |

| MasterWitt | I have a question, when your watching a flash video, say maybe something on Youtube, after about maybe a few videos, does Firefox crash for you guys? I have Compiz Fusion enabled but I disabled a lot of the stuff which I figure might help. So like after watching a video, firefox will freeze and then your screen goes greyish and then when you click the X to close, you get the force quit? | 18:06 |
| tuga3d | hi all | 18:06 |
| francesco | Excuse me. I can't watch some video lessons using Mozilla Firefox. (.asf format I think). Could you help me? Address: http://www.consorzionettuno.it/nettuno/italian/corsi_uni/corsi.html | 18:06 |
| El_Burro | i see the same number of dots as my username, only greyed out and very briefly | 18:06 |
| loke_ | MasterWitt: Flash is still being worked on and bugs like this are common. You're lucky you can at least watch a video, I couldn't get youtube to work for weeks. ;) | 18:06 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: I get the same problem. Like when I am on WWE.com, I can't watch the whole video | 18:06 |
| tuga3d | who updates the packages in synaptic? | 18:07 |
| francesco | How to solve it, MasterWitt? I need those lessons. | 18:07 |
| MasterWitt | loke_:Ahhh ok, just making sure. This happens even without Compiz Fusion enabled | 18:07 |
| loke_ | Yeah, Flash has problems on its own. Compiz has been pretty well ironed out now. | 18:07 |
| pestilence | francesco: they play for me. | 18:07 |
| oklopol_ | fixed | 18:08 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: Well I just went into the source code, found the video url and opened it up with Totem. Also, do you have extra codecs installed? | 18:08 |
| francesco | I can't even start the video, MasterWitt! | 18:08 |
| loke_ | oklopol_: Cool. | 18:08 |
| oklopol_ | thanks, loke_ | 18:08 |
| loke_ | oklopol_: No problem. | 18:08 |
| === oklopol_ is now known as oklopol | ||
| MasterWitt | francesco: Yeah, that happens to me. | 18:08 |
| francesco | Yes I think so. | 18:08 |
| francesco | I have gstreamer, I think. | 18:08 |
| francesco | (the codecs) | 18:08 |
| pestilence | francesco: try installing the MediaPlayerConnectivity extension for firefox, and also vlc. then associate vlc with the videos. | 18:08 |
| oklopol | the problem is, i mess around with /dev/dsp a lot, so... it's not nice if i always have to restart the comp :\ | 18:08 |
| sake | #Ubuntu-pl | 18:09 |
| loke_ | oklopol: Don't have to restart the comp, just the x server. | 18:09 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: Good. Well go into the source code and find the video url and then open up totem and open the url option and paste the url and it should work. It happens to me, don't worry :P | 18:09 |
| francesco | What is vlc? | 18:09 |
| loke_ | oklopol: But if shouldn't happen very often. | 18:09 |
| pestilence | francesco: it's a video player. | 18:09 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: VLC is a media player which is pretty good at playinig most formats. you should download it by doing sudo apt-get install vlc | 18:09 |
| Raiden | I accidentaly removed (put in the trash) my Desktop folder from my home, now i can't put any icons on my desk, coz Gnome recreated it in the trash, and using it from there every time...any ideas? | 18:09 |
| loke_ | oklopol: Try to remember which applicaiton you used last that used your sound device, maybe that program has a bug. | 18:09 |
| oklopol | well, restarting x is pretty much the same as restarting the comp | 18:09 |
| francesco | Then I have to find where the file is and open it manually, ok? | 18:09 |
| loke_ | oklopol: Not at all. =] | 18:10 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: You mean for the videos your wanting to play? | 18:10 |
| oklopol | hmm, may have been a python program i was testing... | 18:10 |
| francesco | Yeah. These are university lessons. | 18:10 |
| oklopol | but, usually they show up with fuser | 18:10 |
| francesco | http://www.consorzionettuno.it/nettuno/italian/corsi_uni/corsi.html | 18:10 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: ahh ok, lemme see if I can get anything to play or if i can assist you on getting the video url | 18:10 |
| mvanbaak | pestilence: let's see how this works out :) | 18:10 |

| mvanbaak | like everything in ubuntu: It Simply Works (tm) | 18:13 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: hmmm I think ASP is somewhat like a playlist, I could be wrong. Anyway I clicked on the first button and another page loads up. I figure at least the player would show up but it did not | 18:13 |
| francesco | Yes, that's the problem. It works with Windows. :) MasterWitt. | 18:14 |
| coopster | I'm having a very odd problem with Firefox on Gutsy Gibbons. I usually connect to the internet through another box that does NAT, but I've moved the compy to a location that uses a belkin router. Firefox does not work, as it can't do DNS lookups, but everything else on the machine can. If i put google's IP address in firefox, it connects fine. | 18:14 |

| disasm | ok, this is the weirdest issue I've ever seen... I have this machine, carocal.astro.psu.edu. It's on the same switch as 24 other computers. When I turn it on, I can ping it from any computer. Then about 5 minutes later, that computer stops pinging it completely (except for one computer that never has a problem pinging it, cosmos.astro.psu.edu), however; I can ssh into any computer that hasn't pinged it yet, and from their I can ping it f | 18:15 |
| UbuntuFire | tyczek: how did you do with the ath0 & wifi0 ? did you remove etho0 & lo also? | 18:15 |
| coopster | disasm, What's the difference between cosmos and the other machines? | 18:15 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: Yeah well this is linux, a lot of the common things that works in Windows is getting ironed out here in Linux. Soon I hope Adobe will fix this and hopefully all these small annoyances will be fixed. Linux is constantly being updated and new bugs are being found and squashed. I to have problems so your not alone :D | 18:15 |
| tyczek | I have fresh install of Ubuntu | 18:16 |
| francesco | Anyway, do you know how to solve it right now? | 18:16 |
| NiNo | hello | 18:16 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: Lemme search in the HTML codeing and I'll see if I can get the url of the videos, at least if it has one | 18:16 |
| disasm | coopster: there shouldn't be any difference, same OS, it has the same hardware as carocal, however; 2 other machines have the same hardware as well and still have problems | 18:16 |
| Lordlarm | linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22.14-cell - anyone know where to find it? | 18:16 |
| marek|nano_ | salut les mecs | 18:17 |
| coopster | disasm, any networking differences, different switch, different port on the switch, static vs dhcp, etc? | 18:18 |

| midgenator | ? | 18:19 |
| mvanbaak | hhmm | 18:19 |
| disasm | coopster: all are static, I've moved carocal and cosmos to a couple different ports, some on the same switch, and some not, but still haven't seen any logical reason as to the issue | 18:19 |
| mvanbaak | looks like it's stable | 18:19 |
| mvanbaak | it's still transferring | 18:19 |

| harry_ | am having issues with localhost could someone help me out ? | 18:24 |
| coopster | disasm, hrmm. odd. Offhand I'd say that the fact that it only happens after a machine has had prior contact would make me think that it's some sort of ARP/MAC addressing issue on carocal. if it had a messed up ARP table then it would stop sending responses to the right machines. I'd try putting carocal and another machine on a different switch and trying, and checking to make sure that the ARP entry in carocal doesn't change for a given MAC after i | 18:24 |
| coopster | t stops responding | 18:24 |
| === _ is now known as MrBlack | ||
| midgenator | i mean directly in totem there are no keys to add brightness or contrast? | 18:24 |
| disasm | mvanbaak: I've already disabled the built in network card and tried a pci one, same behavior | 18:25 |
| mvanbaak | disasm: then check the ARP table as coopster suggests | 18:25 |
| Dr_willis | midgenator, you could run totem, and use its settins under color display to tweak stuff i guess | 18:25 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: Yeah its a .asf file which can get complex because I think .asf files can hold advertisements and the actual video itself. The same with when I am on WWE.com, it will show the player, then it will play the first part, then it has trouble going into the ads before going into the actual video. In your case, the stupid thing is being a punk and when I put the .asf url into the totem media player, I get an error like thats no | 18:25 |
| loke_ | midgenator: Not with the keyboard, no. | 18:25 |
| mvanbaak | disasm: and look for duplicate ip addresses | 18:25 |
| midgenator | ok thanks :) | 18:25 |
| mvanbaak | maybe two hosts have the same ip ? | 18:25 |
| oskude | harry_, did you by any chance change your hostname ? | 18:25 |
| coopster | disasm, same from the other machines, take one that hasn't pinged yet, start pinging, and note the ARP, and see if it has changed after the failure. i'd help more, but must run to finish a project | 18:26 |
| loke_ | midgenator: IF you really need to use the ekyboard, alt+e, then press "n", press "b", then use the left and right arrow keys. | 18:26 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: I think for the time being, use Windows just to view your lessons | 18:26 |

| coopster | francesco, MasterWitt, to jump into a conversation without knowing what it's about... I am a big fan of Qemu and VMWare for running a few stubborn windows apps that refuse to be wine'd | 18:27 |
| UbuntuFire | VLC is a little messed up (allways got sound), fullscreen it show the video, in the normal window don't it | 18:27 |
| francesco | I had Windows, MasterWitt. | 18:27 |
| loke_ | benzs_s: Ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, don't worry about it. | 18:27 |
| Dr_willis | benzs_s, ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package - removing anything it includes will remove it. | 18:27 |
| oskude | harry_, hmm i cant find the fix for that... ubotu just says: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 18:27 |

| coopster | MasterWitt, Why do you hate VMWare? I had to buy a license due to needing something in a hurry, and it's been pretty good to me after that | 18:29 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: You can still use Windows. If you bought Windows XP or Vista then your license is only good for the computer you purchased it for. I donno why microsoft wants to be a jerk and want u to buy a license for each computer. Thank god for linux :D :D :D | 18:29 |
| kitche | oskude: what's the problem he is having was busy building a freesbie cd | 18:29 |
| MasterWitt | coopster: Just to slow. On the other hand, Virtualbox is my savior :P | 18:29 |
| hobbit_ | !ndiswrapper | 18:29 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 18:29 |
| coopster | francesco, nope, not from ubuntu | 18:29 |
| coopster | seriously. must work. have a good one. | 18:30 |
| francesco | I think the format is .asf. What can you tell me about that? | 18:30 |
| disasm | coopster: interesting, I did a arping from carocal to itself, and as soon as I ran it, all the other broken connections woke up | 18:30 |
| kitche | francesco: it's a microsoft format need a player that plays microsoft's format but if it's drmed then your pretty much screwed from playing it | 18:30 |
| MasterWitt | .asf i believe is a format used in playlist. Meaning within the .asf file, I think you can include advertisements, and other videos. | 18:30 |
| mvanbaak | disasm: that is interesting ! | 18:30 |
| francesco | Nobody cracked it? :) | 18:31 |
| benzs_s | loke_, Dr_willis: thanks | 18:31 |
| zoom | hi friends ! i have pb with amule do you have an alternate prog ? my error paste at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48112/ | 18:31 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: But I could be wrong on the .asf file. When I played the video from a few places that used .asf extension, totem showed in the playlist other things inside, including a flash advertisement and the video of what I wanted to play. | 18:32 |
| loke_ | dc++? | 18:32 |
| mvanbaak | .asf is a container format | 18:32 |
| MasterWitt | mvanbaak: Yeah so I was right :P | 18:32 |
| mvanbaak | it can contain the video, but it can also contain a playlist | 18:32 |
| mvanbaak | it's like .ogm | 18:32 |
| harry_ | oskude : /etc/hostname entry shows only a entry "server" but in /etc/hosts it shows 192.168.1.100 localhost | 18:33 |
| mvanbaak | that can be a video, or a playlist or only audio etc | 18:33 |
| harry_ | # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts | 18:33 |
| harry_ | ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback | 18:33 |
| harry_ | fe00::0 ip6-localnet | 18:33 |
| harry_ | ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix | 18:33 |
| harry_ | ff02::1 ip6-allnodes | 18:33 |
| MasterWitt | mvanbaak: Yeah. They usually have like an advertisement before the video and then a advertisement after, depending on whats going on | 18:33 |
| harry_ | ff02::2 ip6-allrouters | 18:33 |
| harry_ | ff02::3 ip6-allhosts | 18:33 |

| mvanbaak | harry_: now there is your problem ! | 18:33 |
| oskude | harry_, i assume you cant use sudo to edit that file ? | 18:33 |
| MasterWitt | mvanbaak: Yeah, places like Gamespot, Wwe, CNN & things I think have that .asf file but incorported into a flash file | 18:33 |
| mvanbaak | 19:33 < harry_> 192.168.1.100 localhost | 18:33 |
| mvanbaak | that is so wrong ! | 18:33 |
| harry_ | oh | 18:34 |
| mvanbaak | localhost should always be 127.0.0.1 | 18:34 |
| UbuntuFire | !update | 18:34 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 18:34 |
| loke_ | there's no place like 127.0.0.1 | 18:34 |
| mvanbaak | UbuntuFire: where are the upgrade instructions for release->testing | 18:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hi how do i manually setup my internet configuration? | 18:34 |
| mvanbaak | loke_ indeed ! | 18:34 |
| UbuntuFire | Madwifi have release a new version, how long can it take before ubuntu release a package for it? | 18:34 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: Sorry but I'm outta ideas on how to help. Usually I could have found the video source but the website your wanting to work really sucks and makes it complicated to finding your videos. Maybe download DownloadHelper Firefox Extension. That extension scans websites for video formats and you can download them | 18:34 |
| mvanbaak | Pirate_Hunter: ifconfig + route | 18:34 |
| zoom | !amule | 18:35 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about amule - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:35 |
| Slart | UbuntuFire: I would guess when hardy heron comes out | 18:35 |
| Pirate_Hunter | mvanbaak: where do i find ipconfig+route is it in synaptic? | 18:35 |
| barongas1 | Is it possible to use apt to upgrade from 6.06 to 7.10? | 18:35 |
| mvanbaak | MasterWitt: to find out the final movie in an .asf playlist use: mplayer -playlist <url_to_asf_file> | 18:35 |
| mvanbaak | it will show what it does | 18:35 |
| Slart | UbuntuFire: unless the old version is a danger in some way.. securitywise or so.. | 18:35 |
| kitche | Pirate_Hunter: ifconfig and route are part of base so you have them installed already | 18:35 |
| francesco | MasterWitt: This only for a university exam?! :) | 18:35 |
| mvanbaak | Pirate_Hunter: those two commands will be installed by default | 18:35 |
| harry_ | okay mvanbaak, thanks let me change it and let u know.... but plz note that 192.168.1.100 is my sys static IP where in my winx clients access it | 18:36 |
| MasterWitt | francesco:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006 - if you want to download it. Everytime you go a webpage with a flash file or some video, the icon will start flashing, Then you can download the video. This is like the last resort on possibly helping ya out :P | 18:36 |
| UbuntuFire | guess I need to figure out how to install the source, Slart: nothing like that only that my card got supported in that version :S | 18:36 |
| cannonball | How would I search available packages to find what package provides MIME/Parser.pm ? | 18:36 |
| kitche | harry_: well the server doesn't need to have that in there the other computers need it in their hosts file though | 18:36 |
| mvanbaak | UbuntuFire: compiling madwifi from source is easy | 18:36 |
| UbuntuFire | don't want to mess around with it, since i guess it could remove the entier network. The wired still work | 18:36 |
| mvanbaak | I had to do that on my toshiba laptop as well | 18:36 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: or try what mvanbaak said above | 18:36 |
| Slart | UbuntuFire: it's not that hard.. see if there isn't instructions on their site | 18:36 |
| disasm | how long do dynamic arp entries live before they expire? | 18:37 |
| AJC_Z0 | cannonball: dpkg -f /path/to/file | 18:37 |
| Slart | !find Parser.pm | 18:37 |
| kitche | UbuntuFire: there might be instructions but then again madwifi isn't really even supported by the madwifi team anymore | 18:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kitche, mvanbaak: im guessing both options are either done through terminal or they are integrated into network tools/wired network | 18:37 |
| ubotu | File parser.pm found in bioperl, gforge-db-postgresql, libconvert-asn1-perl, libhttp-proxy-perl | 18:37 |
| AJC_Z0 | I think I misunderstood your question | 18:37 |
| Slart | there you are, cannonball | 18:37 |
| kitche | Pirate_Hunter: both are command line tools | 18:37 |
| mvanbaak | Pirate_Hunter: terminal :) | 18:37 |
| cannonball | Slart: so that package is made for ubuntu. Alright, I'll CPAN it. | 18:38 |
| cannonball | err, isn't. | 18:38 |
| UbuntuFire | well it is the remove ath0 and wifi0 that confuse me, should i remove eth0 and lo also? since they are the only one i got with ifconfig | 18:38 |
| AJC_Z0 | So how does one find the package without the help of an IRC bot? | 18:38 |
| francesco | What about asp format? | 18:38 |
| francesco | MasterWitt: What is asp format? | 18:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | mvanbaak, kitche: isnt there a gui/tutorial or cna you guide me through it | 18:38 |
| Slart | cannonball: oh.. I think those are for ubuntu.. I don't think cpan packages show up here | 18:38 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: Well crap, the DownloadHelper is not even picking up the videos on the website, sorry but I donno what else to tell ya. Yeah, I think it also does .asp format | 18:38 |

| mikefoo | anyone use xen here? | 18:39 |
| Slart | AJC_Z0: I think there is something called apt-search | 18:39 |
| oskude | cannonball, apt-file search foo.bar | 18:39 |

| Slart | !info apt-search | 18:39 |
| ubotu | Package apt-search does not exist in gutsy | 18:39 |
| MasterWitt | francesco: Sorry to cut this short but I gotta leave for work. Wish I could help and try figuring this out but I'm going to be late if I don't get my butt in gear. I hope someone is able to help you out. Laters | 18:39 |

| Slart | and now I'll stop torturing the bot for a while..=) | 18:40 |
| cannonball | hehe | 18:40 |
| UbuntuFire | so i should simply leave them then? | 18:40 |
| matteo_ | what news about wine-doors? | 18:40 |
| ompaul | mikefoo, if you eat breakfast you may be asked that - and say no but know a lot about breakfast - so I strongly suggest ____ask the _channel_ the full question____ | 18:40 |
| matteo_ | I loved it | 18:40 |
| oskude | cannonball, and dont wonder, when you install apt-file the first time, it (silently?) downloads the whole list of all package contest, so it takes a while... | 18:40 |
| matteo_ | but now seems to be stopped | 18:40 |
| kitche | Pirate_Hunter: man <command> tells you what you need but route shouldn't really be touched unless your doing something that is not normal | 18:41 |
| cannonball | oskude: Was just looking at it and wondering if it had stalled. Thanks :-) | 18:41 |
| francesco | MasterWitt. I think I have found the asf file but when i try to download it Totem says "error occured". | 18:41 |
| matteo_ | hey? | 18:41 |
| oskude | cannonball, :) they should add a progressbar to it... | 18:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kitche: command ipconfig is not found in terminal am i doing anything wrong | 18:41 |
| matteo_ | someone hear me? | 18:41 |
| kitche | Pirate_Hunter: ip or ifconfig | 18:41 |
| harry_ | mvanbaak : I changed the local host to be 127.0.0.1 and gave invoke-rc.d networking restart , then too I still cant ping my localhost | 18:42 |
| AJC_Z0 | I've found MIME/Parser.pm is in MIME tools - http://www.zeegee.com/code/perl/MIME-tools/ | 18:42 |
| loke_ | matteo_: No, we cannot hear you. | 18:42 |
| juano_1 | Pirate_Hunter: sudo ifconfig | 18:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kitche: ipconfig is giving me nilche | 18:42 |
| AJC_Z0 | That seems much more likely that sone bio package | 18:42 |
| kitche | Pirate_Hunter: iFconfig where are you getting ipconfig from? | 18:42 |
| oskude | harry_, so you where able to use the sudo command ? then its propably another problem... | 18:42 |
| mvanbaak | harry_: can you pastbin the output of: ifconfig -a | 18:42 |
| K`zan | Is there a way to reconfigure the vmware install that is preferred over just hacking /etc/vmware? | 18:43 |
| cannonball | Slart: Odd, the file MIME/Parser.pm is provided by libmime-perl, but the bot didn't find it. Is the bot limited to which sources it searches for things? | 18:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kitche: hmmm my bad will try that | 18:43 |
| kitche | Pirate_Hunter: I know ipconfig is from Winodws though :) | 18:43 |
| mvanbaak | K`zan: aptitude install virtualbox-ose | 18:43 |
| mvanbaak | ;) | 18:43 |
| Slart | cannonball: I don't really know.. I thought it searched all packages.. but apparently not | 18:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kitche: yup | 18:43 |

| awjrichards | hi everyone - im using ubuntu 7.10, and just started having a really messed up issue. i updated libcairo2 and libcairo2-dev packages this morning, and then started getting this error whenever i start a mozilla product: "could not initialize the browser's security component. the most likely cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. etc." i tried all the answers i could find in googing the issue | 18:47 |
| awjrichards | - but to no avail. i get ssl errors with every browser i've tried, as well as with thunderbird | 18:47 |
| awjrichards | i've tried reinstalling firefox as well as openssl as well as reverting to earlier versions of libcairo (although i have no idea why this would be the problem...) | 18:47 |
| awjrichards | does anyone have any thoughts? | 18:48 |
| mikefoo | anyone use xen here? | 18:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | mvanbaak, kitche: how do I chnage my ifconfig manually, i wish to assign a static ip on top of my dynamin ip - im going to base it upon this tutorial that worked on XP (http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm) | 18:48 |
| ompaul | awjrichards, when you say you updated it - how was it within ubuntu i.e. security updates | 18:48 |
| awjrichards | ompaul - that's correct | 18:48 |
| ompaul | harry_, please don't paste in the channel | 18:48 |
| awjrichards | ompaul - it was an automatic update | 18:48 |
| ompaul | awjrichards, have you restarted your gnome session since? | 18:48 |
| awjrichards | ompaul - i have | 18:48 |
| ompaul | awjrichards, do this in a terminal, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:49 |
| juano_1 | Pirate_Hunter: sudo ifconfig <staticlanip> netmask <netmask> eth<X> up | 18:49 |
| awjrichards | ompaul - done. nothing to upgrade | 18:49 |
| ompaul | awjrichards, I have to leave in 5 mins so please do this now and let me know how you get on | 18:49 |
| ompaul | awjrichards, right reboot | 18:49 |

| josh__ | Hi, | 18:52 |
| josh__ | I was wondering if there are any programs in linux which allow me to make movies in a similiar fassion to moviemaker in XP ? ive tried Lives,videmux but these only edit one video clip at a time. is there something in which i can place video clips one after the other in order to make a movie ? | 18:52 |
| Locksm | but to run them is sudo filename right ? | 18:52 |
| harry_ | mvanbaak: could u help me plz | 18:52 |
| awjrichards | ompaul - you think it's probably hardware related? perhaps bad blocks in the hd? | 18:52 |
| Konam | hey | 18:52 |
| ompaul | awjrichards, in such a position I would try to use a live CD and check out if the video stuff is happy - if the disk is over 4 years old then I might start to suspect it | 18:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | juano_1: will try | 18:53 |
| juano_1 | Pirate_Hunter: alt + f2 ---> type gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf line 1: nameserver <yourISPnameserverIP> line 2: nameserver <yourSecondaryISPnameserverIP> | 18:53 |
| awjrichards | ompaul - will do thank sfor your help. too bad im on a brand new laptop (<1mo. old) | 18:53 |
| josh__ | Hi, | 18:53 |
| Konam | my laptop doesn't recognize the wireless network I set up with my wireless ap router, I don't know what could be causing it :( | 18:53 |
| josh__ | I was wondering if there are any programs in linux which allow me to make movies in a similiar fassion to moviemaker in XP ? ive tried Lives,videmux but these only edit one video clip at a time. is there something in which i can place video clips one after the other in order to make a movie ? | 18:53 |
| Slart | josh__: not that I know.. but I don't know everything | 18:54 |
| juano_1 | Pirate_Hunter: are you behind a router or directly connecting to internet ? | 18:54 |
| josh__ | I looked at cinelerra, but no download link :S | 18:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | juano_1: kk lets see how things go | 18:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | juano_1: router | 18:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info cinelerra | 18:55 |
| juano_1 | Pirate_Hunter: then actually line 1 in resolv.conf is nameserver <routerip> then the 2 lines i mentioned before | 18:55 |
| ubotu | Package cinelerra does not exist in gutsy | 18:55 |
| leitao | is there a way to resize (decrement the size) of an EXT3 partition? | 18:55 |
| ompaul | awjrichards, do the live CD if it works then I think you need to consider that something in the upgrade went badly wrong, it will take you either a few mins to work out what happened, or it will take you hours and hours - you might consider backup of your personal data and then consider a reinstall - there are options in apt-get to get it to check out all the existing packages and make sure they were downloaded correctly and installed right | 18:55 |
| awjrichards | ompaul - thanks a lot for the advice | 18:55 |

| Henry_ | quick question guys, trying to configure shorewall to enable port knocking, but "shorewall show capabilities" shows "Recent Match: not available." I think it has something to do with iptables, but don't know how to enable it. BTW, based on clean install of gutsy via alternate iso | 19:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | juano_1: or i cna do it your way :D | 19:05 |

| Slart | abo: or serpentine cd audio extractor | 19:05 |
| juano_1 | Pirate_Hunter: hehe... yea, i guess the sure one is rebooting.. but this isn't windows, so lets try command that first ;) | 19:05 |
| profanephobia | Konam, that driver should have worked but have you tried ndiswrapper yet? | 19:05 |
| adelie | what chmod argument allows me to set a directory such that its files are read/write by all, but the directory itself can not be deleted? | 19:06 |
| kahrytan | How do you install skins for Audacious/XMMS? | 19:06 |

| Pirate_Hunter | juano_1: should i give ubuntu a different static ip to my xp or it wont matter? | 19:06 |
| FLX | hello all | 19:06 |
| Konam | profanephobia no, but the driver worked, the card is being recognize by ubuntu and I can turn it on (I could not if it wasn't) | 19:06 |
| adelie | I want people to be able to create files in the folder without making the folder itself deletable | 19:06 |
| Slart | Henry_: there are modules for different things in iptables.. one module for reverse dns checking.. one module for os fingerprinting etc.. perhaps it's a module it wants? | 19:06 |
| adelie | is that just chmod 664? | 19:07 |
| juano_1 | Pirate_Hunter: it's a good idea to give another one, or else router can mix up name resolving by mistake... just to be sure i suggest another ip | 19:07 |
| Henry_ | Slart, i think so, but how do i install the module? | 19:07 |
| NetLarIrvine | I have Ubuntu 7.10 , where is Apache2? | 19:07 |

Even now, while my load average is at 0.44 I see that there are like 13 instances, even though | 19:15 |
| mojo | (supposedly) the only nautilus window I have open is my desktop. Why does it show so many dupes? How do I more effectively narrow down which app is eating my RAM ??? | 19:15 |

| Pirate_Hunter | juano_1: (-_-)??? | 19:24 |
| mikefoo | nah im on 32bit | 19:24 |

| Ximal | I finally got my encryption to work with gnupg ... but whenever i open the tar/zip file it let's me open it without even having to enter a password .. Why is that ? | 19:26 |
| adelie | newbie289: awsome. Broken hosts list perchance? | 19:26 |
| kitche | Ximal: because your opening the tar/zip file and not the encrypted file | 19:26 |
| atlantia | so the answer for 7.3 and ubuntu is NO or yes, but with caveats and here's the proper way to do it | 19:26 |
| Henry_ | slart, i'm paranoid about ssh attacks, so i'm trying to implement port knocking, but the recent ip is required for this | 19:26 |
| Ximal | which one is the encrypted file ? the pgp file ? | 19:26 |

| tyczek | do you know how often Ati develop their drivers? | 19:29 |
| Henry_ | because, quite frankly, i don' t think i'm up to compiling th kernel | 19:30 |
| === DtG is now known as SmoothOp | ||
| atlantia | any hard core ubuntu peeps wanna chime in on this let me know. I'd like to hear some pros and cons, cause right now, running at this resolution is horrible | 19:30 |
| atlantia | extra commas included | 19:30 |
| kitche | tyczek: when they feel like it but there is a radeonhd driver now for r5xx/r6xx written by Novell which will be good | 19:30 |
| riotkittie | errr. atlantia, why not just change the resolution then? why do you need 7.3 to do that? | 19:30 |
| mojo | tyczek, go to phronix's site, they have lot of stuff about ATi including something called the trugh about ATi or something, which outlines their development cycle | 19:30 |
| Slart | Henry_: I don't think so.. we're not compiling netfilter.. and the module is already there.. I think it's even enabled.. although smoothwall doesn't see it | 19:30 |

| IceGuest_7 | I just installed ubuntu and am getting the "minimal bash-like line..." message at boot | 19:31 |
| Henry_ | slart, oh, i see .. just browsed the man page for modprobe | 19:31 |
| Henry_ | slart, i agree, i think that should've worked too :( | 19:31 |
| IceGuest_7 | is this due to the installer being broken? | 19:31 |
| ikonia | josh__: you've done a good job of getting ignored by everyone | 19:31 |
| kitche | IceGuest_7: what do you mean? | 19:31 |
| ikonia | josh__: don't flood the room | 19:31 |
| Kenai | josh- try looking for the codec in add/remove programs list, that will support your file type | 19:32 |
| lamalex | it seems that X crashes when I try to log in | 19:32 |
| Slart | Henry_: you can get a list of modules too.. lsmod... try lsmod | grep -i ip | 19:32 |
| lamalex | but I'm not seeing any errors in the xorg log | 19:32 |
| wols | lamalex: ~/.xsession-errors | 19:32 |
| atlantia | kitche: yeah i know that, and i am hopefully proficient enough to manage the process. What i would like to find is a solution to the issue. No matter what path. | 19:32 |
| kitche | lamalex: because X isn't crashing it most likely gdm | 19:32 |
| mojo | josh__, (1) sometimes you have to wait a bit for a reply, not everyone is glued to their monitor (2) if nobody knows the answer, you probably won't get a reply. try other channels like #linux or search the chan list for linux/video related channels and maybe someone will know there. (3) google with good search terms. like "linux" and "rmvb". | 19:33 |
| riotkittie | good lord. that was obnoxious. | 19:33 |
| kiiz | are suggested and recommended dependencies needed for a package to work | 19:33 |
| tyczek | 7.11 is good for my lcd laptop... but when I connect CRT it's messing my xorg... | 19:33 |
| atlantia | kitche: i mean, I would think that 1280x1024 on a monitor that does 1680x1050 would be enough of a PIA to seek *some* solution.. | 19:33 |
| Henry_ | slart ipt_recent is listed there | 19:33 |
| Slart | !iptables | 19:33 |
| 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). | 19:33 |
| aninhumer | I had a vauge answer for him as well | 19:33 |
| Henry_ | does that mean it's installed/enabled? | 19:33 |
| kitche | atlantia: get 915resolution it fixes your problem | 19:33 |
| juano_1 | riotkittie: eehh worked... im so dumb i forgot the tar archive name | 19:33 |
| riotkittie | juano_1: oops :) | 19:33 |
| lamalex | hmm.. I wish .xsession-errors was time stamped | 19:33 |
| atlantia | kitche: tried that, I either didn't know how to use it or it didn't work | 19:33 |
| juano_1 | riotkittie: :) | 19:34 |
| Slart | Henry_: I thought it meant that it was installed and the number after it was how many other modules that were using it.. but now I'm not sure any more | 19:34 |
| disasm | well, another computer has that ip address, where that computer is, I have no clue. I think my supervisor has an admin login to the switches and can look up what port the computer is connected to tomorrow when he's in, Changing the ip fixed the problem though | 19:34 |
| lamalex | kitche: I think x /is/ crashing | 19:34 |
| Henry_ | slart, my # was 10392, which would be a surprising number of dependencies | 19:34 |
| Henry_ | :) | 19:34 |
| atlantia | kitche: AFAIK, you install the package, it updates it's script in init, reboot, happy time.. however, from what I understand, the things it does was supposed to have been fixed with the latest intel driver | 19:34 |
| kitche | lamalex: if X is crashing it wouldn't take you back to gdm | 19:34 |
| Slart | Henry_: ah.. no. .the number after that one.. | 19:34 |
| Slart | Henry_: perhaps you somehow have to restart iptables for it to enable the module.. | 19:35 |
| lamalex | kitche: well, the screen goes black, the nvidia splash screen comes up, and then gdm. So it's not just straight back to gdm | 19:35 |
| kitche | atlantia: maybe but the latest intel driver doesn't work the way it's suppose to it makes some intel chipsets crash | 19:35 |

| mojo | raphink, "sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager" in a terminal or search for it in synaptic package manager. It is in the Universe repository, so you will have to be sure that is active on your system (easiest in synaptic to add that repo) | 19:41 |

| IceGuest_7 | so it sounds like no one has an answer | 19:50 |
| Arelis | disasm: the GUI is somehow faster. | 19:51 |
| disasm | Arelis: there is always the option of adding more ram, maybe a faster processor as well | 19:51 |
| tonyyarusso | tarjei_: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (make a backup before you do) | 19:51 |
| kitche | tarjei_: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the cli | 19:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sudo nano also works | 19:51 |
| tarjei_ | How do I make a backup? | 19:51 |
| marc | can someone help me? i dual booted Ubuntu with my Vista computer and when I attempt to load Ubuntu I get the "OUT OF RANGE" error, im in xserver-xorg and I dont know what I should change the configurations to. Can someone help? | 19:51 |
| tonyyarusso | tarjei_: cp | 19:51 |
| inflik | ok well when i click the sound control it gives me this No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. | 19:51 |
| tarjei_ | What? | 19:51 |
| lamalex | kitche: package name is xserver-xgl, turns out it is installed. removing now | 19:51 |
| Arelis | Poisonkiller: Hmm, no, it's not THAT slow - it's just that the terminal takes 3 seconds to open, firefox takes 5 (but it has over 70 extensions installed i think) and some other programs take long too. I have 786MB RAM | 19:51 |
| juano_1 | tarjei_: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back | 19:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | marc: set it to vesa and max res of 1024 to get into basic gui wm | 19:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | juano_1: which etho is normally used for connection is it eth0/1 or is it based upon how many network cards the pc got? | 19:52 |
| marc | where do I set the max res? sorry im a noob ;/ | 19:52 |
| disasm | Arelis: most of the apps I use (firefox, thunderbird, aterm, rox, xlock) I map in fluxbox to WIN-X where X is a given letter, such ash WIN-F for firefox, that way that stupid windows key has a use, and I can open up applications a heck of a lot faster than using a mouse and scrolling through menus | 19:53 |
| mavi- | Pirate_Hunter: eth0 is the first, then you get eth1 if you add another card | 19:53 |
| wolflord | Afternoon everyone !! | 19:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | marc: are you at command line or are you running live or ? | 19:53 |
| marc | im at the command line now, i just finished installing | 19:53 |
| Arelis | disasm: and what about games? | 19:53 |
| marc | in recovery mode | 19:53 |
| tarjei_ | "You'll notice above that I have mx518 for my device. I mapped this using udev rules by adding the following to a new file called 19-local.rules to the /etc/udev/rules.d/ folder with the following information: | 19:53 |
| tarjei_ | " | 19:53 |
| wolflord | quick questionsfor you all, HOW THE HECK TO YOU BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM ?? | 19:53 |
| tarjei_ | What does he want me to do? | 19:53 |
| Poisonkiller | wolflord: it's evening here | 19:53 |
| tarjei_ | I don't understand. | 19:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | mavi-: how do i find which card belongs to which connection? | 19:53 |
| juano_1 | Pirate_Hunter: based on many it got... if you have 1 network card it defaults to eth0, if you have wireless and normal you have to check which one is wireless | 19:53 |
| disasm | Arelis: WIN-D for Diablo II, that's about the only game I play :-P | 19:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | marc: so you did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? | 19:53 |
| marc | yes | 19:54 |
| inflik | my sound doesnt seem to be working and all i get is this message "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." can someone please help me | 19:54 |
| juano_1 | Pirate_Hunter: with ifconfig you can see all the devices, and if you have a wireless card, you can use iwconfig to see which one is the wireless adapter | 19:54 |

| Arelis | disasm: hmm, sounds like fluxbox may be handy after all - and how do i get a run dialog? and does it really make so much difference againt GNOME? i mean, it's only the desktop environment - the other applications use CPU too | 19:54 |
| disasm | Arelis: you could create ~/games directory, symlink all your games into it, then do WIN-G to run rox in the directory ~/games, and then double click the one you want | 19:54 |

| atlantia | ok here is the part that never works.. I have th 195 resolution set so it changes the mode to the one I want in VBIOS, how do I use that mode? Right now, it isn't available in XFCE's display settings | 19:57 |
| RoDoX | has someone already configured pidgin to run behind a proxy server?????? | 19:57 |
| davidstillson | they dont have a linux download anywhere on their site | 19:57 |
| disasm | Arelis: yeah, that looks like what you want, install grun in synaptic, then map in your keys file alt-F2 to run grun | 19:57 |
| atlantia | however I have other modes available | 19:57 |
| juano_1 | Pirate_Hunter: well you can sudo ifconfig , check mac addresses, then arp -a will tell you mac address of each card and to what it's connected to | 19:57 |

| rocket2143 | Jack Sparrow? | 19:58 |
| ikonia | marc: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 19:58 |
| disasm | Arelis: of course, I map alt-F2 to my workspaces, so I'd do something like alt-R instead, which would be Mod1 R :ExecCommand grun | 19:58 |
| RoDoX | good one juano_1 i'll check this out ;) thx! | 19:58 |

| excitatory | so, i really haven't kept up on this for a few years, but if i have a bunch of video files (mpeg, avi, and others) is possible these days to painlessly (read: no re-encoding) burn these files to a cd-r or dvd-r for use in a DVD player? (my dvd player plays vcd, svcd, and more) | 20:00 |
| juano_1 | !ask | rocket2143 | 20:00 |

| rocket2143 | I downloaded and installed Weatherbug for ubuntu linux. Now where can I find it on my computer and run it? | 20:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rocket2143: then you need to get help from the people that made the software you are trying to install... If it is from our repos, we can help. If it is something you found in some corner of the internet.. then you need to start there. | 20:01 |
| ikonia | wolflord I'm not afraid of anything, I'm advising you that your plan will require effort that will more than likley be wasted | 20:01 |
| ikonia | davidstillson not for a long time | 20:01 |
| marc | im sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, i dont know what to change ;/ | 20:01 |
| atlantia | so | 20:01 |
| ikonia | marc: just answer the questions, if your not certain use the defaults | 20:01 |

| wolflord | this is for learning .. not for busniess | 20:03 |
| atlantia | i have changed my driver mode using 915resolution | 20:03 |

| ikonia | juano_1: I asked him to repeat as I missed it | 20:04 |
| daws | ikonia, I thought so because gdm wouldn't start, so I opened up another tty and tried to run it | 20:05 |
| ikonia | daws: dpkg -l | grep gdm | 20:05 |
| daws | any ideas how to approach fixing it? | 20:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ikonia: He dosent seem to understand that,, | 20:05 |
| techi602 | is it possible to connect SFTP via Midnight commander? Or how u connect to SFTP u r behind SSH? | 20:05 |

| Vinno | can someone send me a random file please, wanna test my port | 20:06 |
| juano_1 | ikonia: ok :) | 20:06 |
| saschahl | Andycasss: I don't think so. You might want to tune the application, or use tools like joy2key or xf86-input-joystick to emulate something | 20:06 |
| Slart | Henry_: got distracted by all kinds of info on netfilter/iptables.. but I haven't given up.. no | 20:06 |
| juano_1 | Pirate_Hunter: why you want a manual config? does your router support dhcp ? | 20:06 |
| Henry_ | ok, cool, i really appreciate your help | 20:06 |
| Slart | oh.. ikonia.. you're a certified iptables/netfilter-ninja, right? | 20:06 |
| Henry_ | slart, i'm still struggling along here too | 20:07 |
| ikonia | Slart: I'm ok with it | 20:07 |
| rocket2143 | FluxD: I just did that and it comes up and says "reinstall package | 20:07 |
| Poisonkiller | calmar: if you come from windows, try Kubuntu, it's looks more like windows | 20:07 |
| ikonia | Slart: I think your bigging me a little too mcuh | 20:07 |
| ikonia | much | 20:07 |
| ikonia | Slart: what's up | 20:07 |
| FluxD | rocket2143: its installed then | 20:07 |
| Andycasss | saschahl: Sure there isnt a tool for it? Basically when i monitor it with jstest, it shows that the key is being held down | 20:07 |
| K`zan | I moved my $HOME over from a fedora install and there are problems with kmenu, is there a way to remove what is there and have KDE re-establish it? | 20:07 |
| FluxD | rocket2143: type in weatherbug in terminal | 20:07 |
| rocket2143 | FluxD: Now where can I locate it? | 20:07 |
| daws | disasm, that would've happened from installing ubuntustudio-look huh? ;) | 20:07 |
| Andycasss | saschahl: Ive tried joy2key but it didnt want to work, cant remember why either | 20:07 |
| dido^ | hello | 20:07 |
| rocket2143 | bash: weatherbug: command not found | 20:07 |
| Slart | ikonia: =).. to enable the ipt_recent module I figured you'd just do modprobe ipt_recent and then it's available to iptables/netfilter.. right? | 20:07 |
| RoDoX | can somebody tell me where i can find the intel GMA 910/915 drivers for linux distro...? i've searched everywhere with no luck... =( | 20:07 |
| dido^ | can you help me | 20:07 |
| saschahl | Andycasss: sure it is held down; you hold it down. the application should do what you want it to do | 20:07 |
| dido^ | ? | 20:08 |
| Brandon_ | grep -r pattern <--- is that how you search for a text in all files if you're at / | 20:08 |
| disasm | daws: not sure, haven't used ubuntu-studio myself | 20:08 |
| dido^ | please | 20:08 |
| wols | !ask | dido^ | 20:08 |
| ubotu | dido^: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 20:08 |
| dido^ | ok | 20:08 |
| rocket2143 | bash: weatherbug: command not found | 20:08 |
| saschahl | Andycasss: so either mythtv needs a patch, or you try to generate key events for scrolling | 20:08 |
| ikonia | Slart: you "should" be able to just write a rule and the kenrel will probe for the module it wants | 20:08 |
| ikonia | Slart: but that doesn't always work | 20:08 |
| rocket2143 | FluxD: It says command not found | 20:08 |
| dido^ | I have a problem with codec for reading dvds | 20:08 |
| saschahl | Andycasss: there is no way to do looping of joystick buttons, unless the joystick has an auto-fire button | 20:08 |
| yamo | ++ | 20:08 |
| Pirate_Hunter | juano_1: i know eth0 is the one receiving data but if i change it from defual to my manual config i lose connection to the net even if i add dns servers | 20:08 |

| Slart | ikonia: hmm.. shorewall claims it needs the module ipt_recent for port-knocking.. but even though we've modprobed the module it still claims it isn't enabled. | 20:09 |
| dido^ | yes | 20:09 |
| wols | Pirate_Hunter: edit /etc/network/interfaces and change dns in /etc/resolv.conf | 20:09 |

| dido^ | I've installed libdvd3 | 20:09 |

| Jack_Sparrow | dido^: "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu | 20:10 |
| ikonia | Henry_: ok, can you explain the error your getting. | 20:10 |
| FluxD | rocket2143: type in tempest in terminal | 20:10 |
| dido^ | ah ok | 20:10 |
| Henry_ | ikonia: i'm trying to follow the port knocking instructions from http://www.shorewall.net/PortKnocking.html | 20:10 |
| daws | disasm, thank you it worked!! | 20:10 |
| rocket2143 | FluxD: Hold on..It came up with a set-up file, now we are going somewhere | 20:10 |
| dido^ | but libdvdcss3 work! | 20:11 |
| ikonia | Henry_: let me have a quick glange at that | 20:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dido^: That is WHY we have that help page.. If only people would read it | 20:11 |
| Henry_ | ikonia: the first thing is that you need to have recent match in the iptables and kernel | 20:11 |
| rocket2143 | FluxD: Works! Thanks! | 20:11 |
| dido^ | but the video is white/black | 20:11 |
| daws | ikonia, thank you for helping | 20:11 |
| FluxD | rocket2143: np | 20:11 |
| RoDoX | for playing DVD, i just used the automatix system tool and it DLed the restricted codecs and it worked just fine...^^ | 20:11 |
| disasm | daws: glad to be of service, I'll send you my bill j/k :-P | 20:11 |
| daws | Jack_Sparrow, thanks for putting everyone down | 20:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dido^: And where did you find libdvdcss3 | 20:11 |
| daws | disasm, I should pay you :D | 20:11 |
| ikonia | Henry_: I think I see a potential issue, | 20:11 |
| ikonia | Henry_: but I can't be certain without more research | 20:12 |
| Henry_ | ikonia: when I type "shorewall show capabilities" EVERYTHING comes back as not available | 20:12 |
| dido^ | I've used apt-get tool | 20:12 |
| Slart | !automatix | RoDoX | 20:12 |
| ubotu | RoDoX: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 20:12 |
| ikonia | Henry_: oooh | 20:12 |
| ikonia | Henry_: maybe not | 20:12 |
| Tupsik | in linux , can we make any program use a proxy? | 20:12 |
| disasm | daws: consider it paid in full, just help someone else out if you see them have the same problem ;-) | 20:12 |
| ikonia | Henry_: it looks like two of the modules that guide mentioned have been replaced by newer iptables functions in later kernels | 20:12 |
| ikonia | Henry_: that potentially explains part of the problem | 20:12 |
| Roly | right im trying to boot from the live cd as i have no HD on my other PC | 20:13 |
| Henry_ | ikonia, that's odd, the guide is dated at Oct 28, 2007 | 20:13 |
| Roly | i get this error K/bin/sh: cant access tty:job control turned off | 20:13 |
| ikonia | Henry_: I think some updates have been missed | 20:13 |
| daws | disasm, will do, I've learned more from that solution than just fixing that specific problem | 20:13 |
| ikonia | Henry_: sometimes it references current modules, sometimes it references the old names | 20:13 |
| ikonia | Henry_: it's no big deal | 20:13 |
| dido^ | How to do for resolving this problem? | 20:13 |
| ikonia | Henry_: although I'm worried why you have nothing enabled | 20:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | daws: I said nothing to you. But get anoyed at people like rocket that go find something off the web and bug us to make it work.. and refuse to read the help file provided by the peop[le that made the package | 20:13 |
| Henry_ | ikonia, i agree, it seems rather odd | 20:14 |
| ikonia | Henry_: just researching, I'm fine with uptables, but not with shorewal | 20:14 |
| Henry_ | ikonia, do you need a list of what it says? | 20:14 |
| rocket2143 | FluxD: I can't view the forcast..when I click more it just does nothing | 20:14 |
| ikonia | shorewall | 20:14 |
| ikonia | Henry_: a pastebin of it wouldn't hurt | 20:14 |
| daws | Jack_Sparrow, understandable, but I thugh you said something about me before; sorry if you didn't | 20:14 |
| ikonia | rocket2143: - the package is not an ubuntu package. Speak to the people you got the package off | 20:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | daws: nope.. | 20:15 |
| dido^ | there someone for helping me in pvt? | 20:15 |

| daws | dang boy use pastebin | 20:16 |
| ikonia | Henry_: then ask that | 20:16 |
| ikonia | Henry_: don't just flood the channel | 20:16 |
| Myrtti | !paste | Henry_ | 20:16 |
| Slart | !paste | Henry_ | 20:16 |
| ubotu | Henry_: 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) | 20:16 |
| mynyml | i just reinstalled and dont have svn command tab completion anymore ... how can i enable it? | 20:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dido^: did you verify you have libdvdcss2 installed as well as read3 | 20:16 |
| ikonia | Myrtti: sorry, I should have been more explicit | 20:16 |
| tomd125 | lol henry_, I thought you were a flood bot | 20:16 |
| hobbit_ | how do i setup my own personal website with apache? | 20:16 |
| calmar | hehe, no kicking here, very peaceful :) | 20:16 |
| Henry_ | hey everyone, my apologies | 20:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Henry_: You were warned earlier about pasting into the channel | 20:16 |
| Myrtti | ikonia: yes, you should've | 20:16 |
| daws | lol | 20:16 |
| tomd125 | hobbit, install and enjoy | 20:16 |
| FluxD | rocket2143: I dont know might wanna ask in their forum | 20:17 |
| Henry_ | no no, my bad, really | 20:17 |
| Myrtti | move along | 20:17 |
| Slart | hobbit_: sudo apt-get install apache2... there.. done =) | 20:17 |
| daws | Not like #python ;) | 20:17 |
| Tupsik | in linux , can we make any program use a proxy? | 20:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Henry_: NOT acceptable | 20:17 |
| hobbit_ | Slart, ha real funny | 20:17 |
| Slart | hobbit_: well.. it's true | 20:17 |
| R3B3LX | yo guys im trying to get maplestory.exe (for windows) to work with my linux... i know i need to work wine but i have no idea how to set it up... i only downloaded the game... but i havent installed it i think | 20:17 |
| tomd125 | hobbit_: it's seriously that easy | 20:17 |
| Flare183 | !wine | 20:17 |
| ubotu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 20:17 |
| Henry_ | Jack: i was warned before? | 20:17 |
| tomd125 | listen to slart | 20:18 |
| disasm | dido^: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh | 20:18 |
| hobbit_ | Slart, i did tht but idk how to get apache to register with the domain i chose | 20:18 |
| R3B3LX | yes i know flare... but i need to run my windows game | 20:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Henry_: I can double check but you were kicked from the channel | 20:18 |
| tomd125 | Henry_: stop arguing, your the one that flood pasted the channel, so I wouldn't argue if I were you | 20:18 |
| R3B3LX | how do i set it up with that | 20:18 |
| dido^ | i'v just done | 20:18 |
| ikonia | hobbit_: don't host websites on your dsl lines | 20:18 |
| Slart | hobbit_: oh.. you want a domain name.. that's a whole other thing.. | 20:18 |
| lamalex | can anyone help me with ldap client setup on gutsy? | 20:18 |
| cleaton | Tupsik, in gnome, go to system -> preferences -> network proxy that might be the thing you are looking for | 20:18 |
| hobbit_ | Slart, well wait a moment | 20:19 |
| * Kuropon tawns | 20:19 | |
| Kuropon | y* | 20:19 |
| Henry_ | Jack, not arguing, i thought i was kicked because of a nick collision, not a paste violation | 20:19 |
| hobbit_ | Slart, lets clarify here then | 20:19 |
| Henry_ | Jack, but again, sorry, definitely won't happen again | 20:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Henry_: Nope, you pasted then too | 20:19 |
| disasm | lamalex: edit /etc/ldap/ldap.conf, set your BASE and URI, and either SSL on or off depending on ldap server | 20:19 |
| Tupsik | cleaton: that will make ALL applications work through a proxy? | 20:19 |
| R3B3LX | guys i would rather see one person PASTE FLOODS THE CHANNEL then argue about it for 30min | 20:19 |
| lamalex | disasm: I've done that, and I'm running into a weird problem | 20:19 |
| Henry_ | Jack, oh, then doubly sorry, will bookmark pastebin right now :) | 20:19 |
| hobbit_ | Slart, what do i do to make it accessible to others? | 20:19 |
| Slart | hobbit_: most home connections aren't made for public websites.. ie no reverse dns etc.. but you can try dyndns for a simple but free domain name.. you could get for example hobbit.dyndns.org to point to your apache server | 20:19 |
| lamalex | getent passwd won't pull down my list of users, but getent group will | 20:19 |
| disasm | lamalex: what's the problem? | 20:19 |
| cleaton | !network proxy | 20:19 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about network proxy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:19 |
| lamalex | disasm: ^^^^ | 20:20 |
| * Kuropon lurks | 20:20 | |
| tonyyarusso | hobbit_: connect to the internet? | 20:20 |
| Slart | hobbit_: but basically anyone can type http://XXX.XXX.xXX.xxX in their webbrowser.. (those x's are supposed to be your ip-number) | 20:20 |
| hobbit_ | tonyyarusso, yeah id like to be able to access my webpage from another computer | 20:20 |
| iuri | does anyone already installed vmware workstation on Ubuntu AMD 64 bits | 20:20 |
| pope22 | I'm having trouble getting a DVD to play, per instructions I found on the forums, I downloaded Automatrix and installed the multimedia codecs, and then I installed VLC...still nothing. Any suggestions, or links for directions? | 20:21 |
| disasm | lamalex: do you need to authenticate to get the list of users? | 20:21 |
| cleaton | Tupsik, i guess so, unless they are setup to go around those settings. if you want to do a even deeper proxy i think it's possible via iptables | 20:21 |
| ddrplayer512 | why don't you go to videolan.org | 20:21 |
| index | does somebody has a ubuntu gutsy on AMDX2 installed? | 20:21 |
| tonyyarusso | hobbit_: You don't need to do anything special at all. A domain name is convenient, but as soon as you're connected with apache running, it's accessible. | 20:21 |
| ddrplayer512 | for the dvd | 20:21 |
| lamalex | not sure tbh, where would that be in the server config | 20:21 |
| Iwanowitch | Hello. Is the mercury package (for the Mercury programming language) actually maintained? | 20:21 |
| hobbit_ | tonyyarusso, so my website would then by my ip? | 20:21 |
| tonyyarusso | hobbit_: yes | 20:22 |
| ddrplayer512 | pope22, Try to go to http://www.videolan.org/ | 20:22 |
| FluxD | rocket2143: click the house and change ur location | 20:22 |
| hobbit_ | tonyyarusso, well i have a router so i guess i have to do something in there? | 20:22 |
| tonyyarusso | Iwanowitch: try checking the changelog | 20:22 |
| Slart | hobbit_: run "ifconfig" in a terminal.. somewhere in there is a ip-number.. don't type it in here.. but tell us.. does it start with 192.168... or is it something else? | 20:22 |
| tonyyarusso | hobbit_: yeah, forward port 80. | 20:22 |
| RoDoX | all the 'good' things ive been told about automatix just faded away....should i uninstall it first and keep the codecs or what? | 20:22 |
| === PhilKC_ is now known as PhilKC | ||
| hobbit_ | tonyyarusso, i have a 192 address | 20:22 |
| lamalex | disasm: not sure tbh, where would that be in the server config | 20:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RoDoX: You cant just uninstall it.. | 20:23 |
| Myrtti | !automatix | 20:23 |
| RoDoX | why not? | 20:23 |
| ubotu | automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 20:23 |
| K4k | how small is it possible to get an installation of 7.10 to be? Could I get it to fit on 256mb? | 20:23 |
| Henry_ | ikonia, any luck there, or is everyone still angry about the paste thing | 20:23 |
| Slart | RoDoX: ask the automatix people.. | 20:23 |
| lamalex | disasm: it's a dapper server | 20:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RoDoX: If it could just be uninstalled.. it wouldn't be so much of a problem | 20:23 |
| hobbit_ | Slart, so since its a 192 then what? i know thats just my internal ip | 20:23 |
| disasm | lamalex: it would be in slapd.conf, in the access lines | 20:23 |
| tonyyarusso | K4k: Depends on what features you need. | 20:23 |
| tonyyarusso | hobbit_: http://www.portforward.com/ | 20:24 |
| Slart | hobbit_: then you need to forward connections to port 80 on your router to your ubuntu computer | 20:24 |
| K4k | tonyyarusso, I just need a base install so I can install to a computer with no cd drive, I am trying to get an image that will basically just boot from a pen drive | 20:24 |
| Slart | hobbit_: listen to tonyyarusso | 20:24 |
| Iwanowitch | tonyyarusso: last change in 2004, I guess not... What knowledge/resources are required to start maintaining it? I'm not promising anything, but it would help out many students in my class. | 20:24 |
| pope22 | videolan.org is the site for VLC as it turns out, while i should have remembered that, i already installed VLC, and still the dvd will not play. | 20:24 |
| disasm | lamalex: my server read * to all, since I don't store passwords in ldap (have kerberos handle that), so I'm not sure if you need to set the dn somewhere or not | 20:25 |
| RoDoX | does the main server contain the codecs need to run dvds? | 20:25 |
| davidstillson | i installed vlc viz synaptic | 20:25 |
| davidstillson | via* | 20:25 |
| hobbit_ | K4k, damn small linux or puppy linux | 20:25 |
| ddrplayer512 | seriously? | 20:25 |
| disasm | lamalex: I have to get going, have a meeting in half an hour and have to replace two ups batteries before the meeting! good luck! | 20:25 |
| Slart | hobbit_: just fyi.. ip-numbers starting with 192.168, 10. and one more are "special".. they are used for internal networks.. computers with those ip-numbers are usually not reachable from internet directly | 20:25 |
| nanus | hola amigos, una consulta, llevo bastante tiempo con un servidor lamp montado en debian sarge con xfce con una velocidad muy buena, ahora con el mismo hardware, misma configuracion y ubuntu 7.10 va lento, bastante lento en local alguien se ha topado con el mismo problema?? | 20:25 |
| pope22 | The instructions i followed had me download Automatix then install "multimedia codecs" through that program to run DVDs | 20:25 |
| Sopor | !es | 20:25 |
| ubotu | Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 20:25 |
| pope22 | (it didn't work btw) | 20:25 |
| K4k | hobbit_: do you know if it is possible to install DSL and then from there somehow install ubuntu to a hard drive? | 20:25 |
| dido^ | YESSS | 20:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !es | nanus | 20:25 |
| ubotu | nanus: please see above | 20:25 |
| lamalex | disasm: thanks | 20:25 |
| hobbit_ | Slart, yeah i know because of NAT | 20:25 |
| lamalex | disasm: and no, auth is not required to read | 20:26 |
| tonyyarusso | K4k: The JeOS ISO is 151 MB. | 20:26 |
| dido^ | It wors succefully now!!!! | 20:26 |
| dido^ | *works | 20:26 |
| tonyyarusso | Iwanowitch: That'd be a question for #ubuntu-motu | 20:26 |
| dido^ | :) | 20:26 |
| oliver_g1 | hello | 20:26 |
| nanus | oops, excuse me - wrong channel | 20:26 |
| dido^ | thaks guys | 20:26 |
| tonyyarusso | K4k: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos | 20:26 |
| hobbit_ | K4k, yeah its possible just have to have a bios that supports usb boot. You would have to change that to be your first boot device | 20:27 |
| Rockoman | Hey i cant get videos to load on Youtube. Can some help me figure out why? | 20:27 |
| oliver_g1 | if there is an update in gutsy-proposed, will it automatically appear as a regular update in Gutsy, or do I have to enable gutsy-proposed to ever get this update? | 20:27 |
| K4k | yea, I know how to do all that, the trick is is getting an OS to be on my USB drive | 20:27 |
| troythetechguy | I'm running fiesy fawn, and need to quickly convert a video from .avi to .h264. What program do you recommend? | 20:27 |
| tonyyarusso | !flash | Rockoman | 20:27 |
| ubotu | Rockoman: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 20:27 |
| K4k | and then somehow installing on the hard drive once booted to the usb drive | 20:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K4k: pendrivelinux.com | 20:28 |
| tonyyarusso | oliver_g1: You'd need to enable -proposed to get it now, or just wait for it to get to the real -updates. | 20:28 |
| oliver_g1 | tonyyarusso: thanks | 20:28 |
| K4k | Jack_Sparrow, that's where I found the ubuntu guide for getting it to the pen drive, but I don't have 1GB | 20:28 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: avi is a container format, whereas h264 is a video encoding format. Be more specific for what you're trying to do. | 20:28 |
| Rockoman | Flash is aready installed | 20:28 |
| JoeThomas | Hi, I set /var/www to 755 and index.php to 664, I can edit index.php and save through my network, But I can't write new stuff to the folder. But if i change /var/www to 664 I can't view the web server. | 20:28 |
| oliver_g1 | tonyyarusso: do you know how long it usually takes for such an update to get out of gutsy-proposed? | 20:28 |
| K4k | the drive on the computer is 4GB and my only jump drive is 256/512mb (can't remember exactly) | 20:28 |
| tonyyarusso | oliver_g1: can't say I do | 20:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K4k: you can go the persistent route, and boot livecd and save changes only to the usb | 20:29 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: what's in the avi now? mpeg2, mpeg4, mpeg4part10 (h264 aka divx), xvid, etc | 20:29 |
| oliver_g1 | Rockoman: did you install Flash recently?`If so, it is currently broken as it seems | 20:29 |
| troythetechguy | cannonball, I'm need to send my video to revver, and they asked for it in h.264. I originally made the video with my digital camera, and it was saved at .avi. | 20:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rockoman: How did you install flash? | 20:29 |
| Rockoman | I installed it last night and its showing its installed in my package manager | 20:29 |
| K4k | Jack_Sparrow, interesting, I shall look at that | 20:29 |
| Rockoman | synapic | 20:29 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: mplayer file.avi and watch for mplayer output that says what the video format is. | 20:29 |
| troythetechguy | cannonball, I think I know what your saying now. | 20:30 |
| oliver_g1 | Rockoman: "Flash plugin Installation is currently broken, a fix is on its way" | 20:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K4k: A little slow to boot the cd.. but does work well.. Does NOT work on feisty, Dapper and Gutsy ..yes | 20:30 |
| oliver_g1 | Rockoman: :-) | 20:30 |
| ylle | Um hey, my 7.04 to 7.10 update broke halfway, | 20:30 |
| ylle | What do I do now? | 20:30 |
| bloodniece | anyone know of an event or meeting management package for Linux? | 20:30 |
| oliver_g1 | Rockoman: (I have the same problem, and am waiting for the update) | 20:30 |
| Rockoman | oh ;x | 20:30 |
| josh__ | I need a substitute for windows movie maker able to import .rmf iles to make an amv | 20:30 |
| JoeThomas | I need to be able to read and write to /var/www/ directory but still need to be able to browse via local internet. | 20:30 |
| Rockoman | so i just have to reinstall it when it gets updated? | 20:31 |
| K4k | Jack_Sparrow, o that's the method they said requires a minimum of a 1GB pen drive to work...might that possibly work on 512mb? is there a way to make it somehow save less data or something? | 20:31 |
| lazz0 | anyone had this problem: x-chat > network list > edit would not open ? | 20:31 |
| wraund | josh__: er hi | 20:31 |
| oliver_g1 | Rockoman: I think so... There will probably come out an update (soon I hope :) which then magically fixes flash :-) | 20:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | K4k: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence I have it here on a 256 | 20:31 |
| wraund | josh__: do /nick zejosh | 20:31 |

| oliver_g1 | is there a way to download packages from gutsy-proposed manually? They are apparently not available at packages.ubuntu.com | 20:33 |

| lazz0 | bloodniece, try google calendar? | 20:33 |
| Pirate_Hunter | whats is broadcast in interface? | 20:33 |
| zejosh | Have done | 20:33 |
| hobbit_ | tonyyarusso, i did the port forward so now how do i access the webpage from outside of my network? | 20:33 |
| zejosh | non support .rm files, | 20:33 |
| bloodniece | i need something for catering too | 20:33 |
| wy | I want to get some suggestions about which file system to use in my new install of Ubuntu | 20:34 |
| wraund | zejosh: just realised, cos its a windows format and is propietary, there may not be a linux equivelant | 20:34 |
| tonyyarusso | hobbit_: should just have to put in your WAN IP. (http://www.whatismyip.com/) | 20:34 |
| bloodniece | LazzU: we have exchange, but we need more of a db for event management | 20:34 |
| Andycasss | would it be possible to emulate releasing a joystick button/axis? For example with a delay of 0.5 sec | 20:35 |
| zejosh | realmedia is available on linux, making it work for linux also? :S | 20:35 |
| hobbit_ | tonyyarusso, yeah i tried that didn't work. I put in my internal ip and it showed up | 20:35 |
| troythetechguy | cannonball, I'm having issue opening the video with Mplayer, but I right clicked on the file and went to properties: Motion JPEG is listed as the video codec. Does this mean anything? | 20:35 |
| zejosh | I Just need a converter then for realmedia files? | 20:35 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: yes it does. | 20:35 |
| Pirate_Hunter | In /etc/network/interfaces what do i type for network & broadcast? "which ip(s) are that?" | 20:35 |
| troythetechguy | cannonball, I'm going out on a limb here, but does it mean MPG is the file type? | 20:36 |
| wy | Is ReiserFS good to use? | 20:36 |
| wols | Pirate_Hunter: man interfaces. depends what you want to do | 20:36 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: motion jpeg is very simple. It's just a series of jpeg pictures. So 25 frame per second motion jpeg video is 25 jpeg pictures per second. | 20:36 |
| saschahl | Andycasss: I doubt. You'd need to patch the kernel to do that. Userspace apps can't usually change data read from devices like /dev/input/js0 | 20:36 |
| wols | wy: not unless you have a specific reason | 20:36 |

| wy | svladcjelli: How do you feel it different? | 20:37 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: Do it from the commandline. | 20:37 |
| zejosh | I need a substitute for windows movie maker able to import .rm files to make an amv | 20:37 |
| Andycasss | saschahl: I dont have any clue what to do now, is there any way to acomplish something like that in some other way? | 20:37 |
| svladcjelli | wy: unless you need it, stick to ext3, but it is apparently faster with lots of small files | 20:37 |

| Henry_ | ikonia, ok, no worries, take you're time, and thanks for your help | 20:39 |

| _FR0D0 | how do i install debuild in dapper? | 20:42 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: so it's 320x240, no need to scale up or down, that's pretty small. Also 15 frames per second, again, no need to adjust that. We will adjust the framerate if you want it to. 1200 kbps is a good one to use. | 20:43 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: let me assemble a possible commandline for ffmpeg (the program which will do the conversion. | 20:43 |

| saschahl | Andycasss: depends. the xf86-input-joystick input driver can emulate auto repeat | 20:47 |
| Myrtti | casey_: run alsamixer from the console | 20:47 |
| casey_ | i did, but when i move the voume slider it messes with headphones, it needs to mess with pcm | 20:47 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: ffmpeg -i infile.avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1200k -acodec mp3 outfile.mpg | 20:47 |
| Cabbage | casey_: Right-click the volume slider. | 20:47 |
| Myrtti | casey_: there should be a toggle with detect headphones or like | 20:47 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: caveats to follow | 20:47 |
| Cabbage | casey_: Should be a properties dialog you can set which channel to mess with. | 20:48 |
| svladcjelli | casey_: look in the switches section of vol control | 20:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | In /etc/network/interfaces what does network & broadcast mean and what do I type for this? | 20:48 |
| sulle | everytime i start my Xubuntu i get "check forced".. what can i do to fix this ?. plz help | 20:48 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: it doesn't adjust the audio bitrate at all. It may be higher than it needs to be. A typical setting would be '-ar 22050 -ab 96k' (before the outfile.mpg argument). | 20:48 |

| sulle | :S | 20:50 |
| troythetechguy | cannonball, Thanks so much for your help! | 20:50 |
| cannonball | troythetechguy: basically we're not changing much other than telling it to convert from (whatever is there) to mpeg4 and to lower the video encoding rate from (whatever is there) to 1200k. | 20:50 |
| wols | Pirate_Hunter: it's printed right there. and what to put depends on the subnet you use | 20:50 |

Mac connects directly to the internet, via ethernet/pppoe, and should serve the connection to the PC via wifi. When Mac runs OSX, all is well, the PC with Ubuntu can see the connection and connect (though only if I set Ubuntu wireless interface to "managed" mode a | 20:59 |
| smithw | nd use "restricted" key). When Mac is running WinXP, I can't connect. I use the same essid and password when Mac is on WinXP, but XP "automatically" sets the auth mode to open. I tried changing the mode to ad-hoc and the key to open on Ubunut (via iwconfig), to no avail. The successful connection when Mac is running OSX tells me there is no driver or hardware problem, so this must be a configuration problem. Anyone can help getting this t | 20:59 |

| phaidros | JackJusto: right :) | 21:01 |
| svladcjelli | smithw: get a router :) | 21:01 |
| phaidros | anyone a hint for using module-assistant to get vmware-server modules built from source? | 21:01 |
| JackJusto | tonyyarusso: hope that answered your question. | 21:02 |
| svladcjelli | phaidros: install vmware from source | 21:02 |
| wols | phaidros: those vmware server modules, are they a .deb? | 21:02 |
| smithw | casey_, sorry, I won't do that again | 21:02 |
| phaidros | vmin /usr/srv I have now vmware-server.tar.bz2, but what to do in the ubuntu way with it? | 21:02 |
| tonyyarusso | JackJusto: yeah, guess I'll try both | 21:02 |
| phaidros | svladcjelli: why should I? I'm asking for module assistnat :) | 21:02 |
| wols | phaidros: nothing. there is no "ubuntu way" for tar.bz2 | 21:02 |
| ares221 | ares221 | 21:03 |
| phaidros | wols, yes. | 21:03 |
| svladcjelli | phaidros: tar xjvf vmware.tar.bz2; cd vmware; sudo ./vmware-install.sh | 21:03 |
| wols | phaidros: for m-a you need prepared deb packages | 21:03 |
| phaidros | wols: aptitude search vmware-server-kernel-modules-source or like this .. | 21:03 |
| robotic | Hi all: Is there a security risk in running VMPlayer 1.0 in Edgy? | 21:03 |
| smithw | phaidros, yeah, I figured it could be a win problem... so, ok, no internet for ubuntu when I'm playing, haha | 21:03 |
| TBotNik_1 | All: Finally got sound working on ALC655/AC97(SIS) codec. Posted my debugging process, as possible HOWTO, at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637969. Thanks all for the help. | 21:03 |
| wols | paradon: then check module-assistan. it will tell you if it can work | 21:03 |
| Rockoman | hey i have a quick question about my desktop, i just installed Compiz, and i enabled the cube settings, but i only have two desktops and I cant view a cube. Sorry im a noob | 21:04 |
| jamey-uk | svladcjelli: any idea what I could've deleted that caused users to be unable to login via SSH or IMAP/POP? I was in /root with Cyberduck and I selected a load of files and removed them (in /root). | 21:04 |
| robotic | or generally, a risk in running windows virtualized under ubuntu? | 21:04 |
| svladcjelli | phaidros: if you really want to use m-a it works, but i have installed vmware-server many hundreds of times, and straight up install is what is best | 21:04 |
| wols | phaidros: if it's shown in there, it wokrs, not if not | 21:04 |
| phaidros | wols, svladcjelli: in my repo is a package: vmware-server-kernel-source .. I wanna make use of it .. | 21:04 |
| svladcjelli | jamey-uk: nothing in /root should play a part | 21:04 |
| jamey-uk | aw crap, so how could this be :/ ? | 21:04 |
| svladcjelli | phaidros: good luck then ;) | 21:04 |
| svladcjelli | jamey-uk: probably an issue elsewhere | 21:04 |
| JackJusto | Rockoman: I believe you have to go into desktops and select how many desktop you want. | 21:05 |
| jamey-uk | but why does it surface the precise moment i do that... | 21:05 |
| svladcjelli | jamey-uk: set up a firewall recently? | 21:05 |
| jamey-uk | nope | 21:05 |
| jamey-uk | only spamassassin | 21:05 |
| phaidros | wols, svladcjelli there must be a reason for buntu people to bring a package like this, and amke a dependency to module assistant .. so I'm just woindering what the idea behind is .. o.O | 21:05 |
| svladcjelli | what is your error | 21:05 |
| Rockoman | it doesnt give that option | 21:05 |
| wols | m-a prepare && m-a a-i vmare | 21:05 |
| svladcjelli | phaidros: i don't package, i just use stuff | 21:05 |
| phaidros | vmware-server-kernel-source depends module-assistant .. so there is a way to install the modules with module-assistant .. right? | 21:05 |
| wols | phaidros: ^^ | 21:06 |
| phaidros | hm, ok then :) | 21:06 |
| phaidros | I got #motu :) | 21:06 |
| svladcjelli | all you have to do is run m-a | 21:06 |
| svladcjelli | then follow menu | 21:06 |
| phaidros | s/got/go/ | 21:06 |
| phaidros | svladcjelli: did that, nothing to follow there .. | 21:06 |
| wols | svladcjelli: I told him repeatedly. he ignored it | 21:06 |
| svladcjelli | yeah | 21:06 |
| wols | phaidros: then you didn't look | 21:06 |
| phaidros | oh | 21:07 |
| svladcjelli | there is lots of info on the web, just go check it out | 21:07 |
| phaidros | wols, thats why I asked for a howto or such .. | 21:07 |
| phaidros | I _am_ to dumb for the m-a interface, but I _am_ looking for rtfm :) | 21:07 |
| svladcjelli | i posted how to do it above, you just run sudo ./vmware-install after unpacking the archive phaidros | 21:08 |
| wols | phaidros: I gave you the command(s) above | 21:08 |
| svladcjelli | that is the 'easy' way | 21:08 |
| wols | svladcjelli: it's the wrong way too | 21:08 |
| wols | and the harder one later on | 21:08 |
| svladcjelli | wols: tell me how | 21:08 |
| wols | svladcjelli: with m-a | 21:09 |
| xcd | is anyone in here familiar with ALSA and JACK, and have any idea how to fix the ALSA configuration to work with JACK in gutsy since the package is apparently broken? | 21:09 |
| phaidros | svladcjelli: I believe thats the wrong way for having a stable app-tree and long-living installation of your box .. | 21:09 |
| Rockoman | hey i have a quick question about my desktop, i just installed Compiz, and i enabled the cube settings, but i only have two desktops and I cant view a cube. Sorry im a noob | 21:09 |
| svladcjelli | and how does that install vmware-server? wols | 21:09 |
| svladcjelli | phaidros: you should use virtualbox if you want it to be done through apt | 21:10 |
| phaidros | hm, never tried that :) | 21:10 |
| svladcjelli | cause vmware-server is a proprietary closed source app | 21:10 |
| phaidros | good idea | 21:10 |
| phaidros | svladcjelli: I know about the lisence and am not happy. anyway, I have to use it .. | 21:10 |
| phaidros | thanx wol & svladcjelli | 21:10 |
| svladcjelli | you do, but don't expect it to be easy on a free platform necessarily | 21:11 |

| phaidros | but wol, in the m-a interface I _cannot_ select the vmware-server modules, it is just not there, even after update :( | 21:11 |

| white_eagle | what is the problem | 21:13 |
| phaidros | svladcjelli: I always built vanilla kernels usually, and am happy with all *buntu kernels so far, but want to have vmware server with -rt kernel .. | 21:13 |
| Slart | white_eagle: hmm.. you should be able to open it as root =) | 21:13 |

| Slart | white_eagle: it's not executable.. you have to use some kind of editor to open it | 21:15 |
| wols | white_eagle: that file is nothing to execute | 21:15 |
| wols | white_eagle: open it with an editor | 21:15 |

| nono_ | buenas, sabeis si hay alguna aplicacion tipo dvdshirng? | 21:17 |
| wols | robert_: you said change a environment variable when exeucint a program | 21:17 |
| robert_ | wols, I want to change the CHILD'S ENVIRONMENT from the PARENT. | 21:17 |
| ssn | Rockman read the doc | 21:17 |
| wols | robert_: and if you meant something else: ask more clearly | 21:17 |
| nono_ | sorry | 21:17 |
| wols | robert_: sure. write a script | 21:17 |
| ssn | you have to configure compiz | 21:17 |
| Kris_ | Rockoman, all you have to do is drag windows to the left or right | 21:17 |
| Kris_ | i recomend having 4 desktops, for the cube | 21:17 |
| robert_ | wols, the problem with that is bash can't handle long filenames | 21:17 |
| Kris_ | and then installing compiz-settings-manager | 21:18 |
| wols | robert_: huh? | 21:18 |
| Kris_ | or whatever its called, someone will quote me on that | 21:18 |

| adelie | wols: thanks | 21:19 |

| paragonc | gnome | 21:19 |
| wols | paragonc: gnome-panel | 21:19 |
| svladcjelli | paragonc: right click top panel say new panel | 21:19 |
| svladcjelli | if you deleted it | 21:20 |
| Flare183 | yeah what he said | 21:20 |
| paragonc | im not sure what he did - i have the application / system / places menu | 21:20 |
| robert_ | wols, so I can't export something (from bash) to every application I start using bash? | 21:20 |
| wols | robert_: I told you | 21:20 |
| phaidros | module-assistant went fine, now I have the prob, that I cannot open or create vms .. is greyed out in the server .. any hints? | 21:20 |
| wols | robert_: you can | 21:20 |
| paragonc | wols - it says gnome-panel is already running | 21:20 |
| robert_ | I'd have to wrap everything though | 21:21 |
| gary_inNYC | yeah paragonc just create a *new panel | 21:21 |
| paragonc | o word | 21:21 |
| wols | paragonc: svladcjelli gave you the answer | 21:21 |
| robert_ | which seems a bit infeasible. | 21:21 |
| Flare183 | the gnome-panel program must always be running | 21:21 |
| Shirowtaku | #ubuntu-de | 21:21 |

| adelie | I know whenever you sudo something, you only need to type in the password again after some 3 minutes idle or something. is there a way to tell the computer to 'forget' recent authentication? | 21:21 |
| paragonc | it added another panel to the bottom, but windows wont show up in them when minimized | 21:21 |
| phaidros | svladcjelli: any ideas why vmware-server cannot open/create vms? (is greyed out) | 21:22 |
| paragonc | also the destkop view icons are missing - | 21:22 |
| svladcjelli | prolly cause it is not installed properly? | 21:22 |
| stroyan | robert_: You can use "VARIABLE=value program" to have a variable present for just one run of program. | 21:22 |
| Slart | adelie: you can specify the interval before it forgets somewhere.. probably a sudo config file | 21:22 |
| gary_inNYC | paragonc right click the newly created panel, then add to panel | 21:22 |
| chazco | hi... how can i create a menu entry (gnome-applications menu) from the command line? I think i just need the location of the correct .desktop files...? | 21:22 |
| phaidros | svladcjelli: hmm | 21:22 |
| robert_ | stroyan, yes- is there a way I can accomplish that automatically, no matter what I run, without using a script? I already export it using bash, but the application doesn't seem to pick up on it | 21:22 |
| paragonc | gary_inNYC which item do i add to it so it shows minimized windows | 21:23 |
| robert_ | or is there some bash script that runs before an application runs? | 21:23 |
| stroyan | If you have exported a variable then programs run from the shell prompt will inherit that setting. You may have some startup in .bashrc or elsewhere that overrides the value. Try running "env" and see what it says about the variable. | 21:24 |
| svladcjelli | robert_: http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/UnixAndC/Unix/ShellIntro.html#tth_sEc4 | 21:24 |
| adelie | anyone know where the sudo config file is? | 21:25 |

| Henry_ | ikonia, ok, just fyi, i'm going to get going. thanks for your help. i'll try to come back later and see if anyone can come up with an answer | 21:26 |
| svladcjelli | adelie: but you can't edit it normally | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | adelie: you have to edit it with visudo | 21:26 |
| Slart | adelie: or you can reset it by doing "sudo -K" if you're looking for just that | 21:26 |

| Slart | Rockoman: restart gnome-panel perhaps? pkill gnome-panel first to kill it off properly.. perhaps it autostarts a new one.. perhaps you have to run gnome-panel manually | 21:36 |
| ssn | what about f71882fg? | 21:36 |
| Dieterbe | hi, i just installed the linux-rt kernel on gutsy, but when rebooting why can't i choose between the normal kernel and the RT one? it picks the rt one like if the old one is "gone", i would like to be able to choose myself | 21:37 |

| Viking | I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 and sometimes after boot the panel dissapears too. All I can do is rolling the dice. | 21:41 |
| Rockoman | it says a panel is already runnung | 21:41 |
| svladcjelli | ctrl-alt-backspace to restart graphics Rockoman? | 21:41 |
| Rockoman | still the same | 21:41 |
| adelie | Viking: a quick fix is to alt-f2, and `killall gnome-panel' | 21:42 |
| Matir` | sanguisdex, banshee? | 21:42 |
| sanguisdex | yeah | 21:42 |
| L3ON | can some 1 huhs god at the game go private wid me | 21:42 |

| adelie | Viking: no way to backup data?\ | 21:44 |

| adelie | Viking: and anyway, it is much better to do a clean install anyway | 21:45 |

| Myrtti | adelie: which client? | 21:46 |
| Viking | There is a way,but not allways time to burn a coupple of dvds. | 21:46 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: for distribution upgrades it is good if you have manually configured a lot of stuff | 21:46 |
| svladcjelli | adelie: but then by default you have to reconfigure all that stuff | 21:46 |
| adelie | myrttti: Pigdin | 21:46 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: except that I have found a lot of config tweaks for one distribution often are not compatible with the next, especially when the tweak is built in to the distribution, or there is a fix that no longer makes it necessary | 21:47 |

| svladcjelli | since we are talking baout same distribution, just versioning | 21:48 |

| crackintosh | I am having permissions problems with these folders | 21:49 |
| adelie | Rockoman: debconf gnome-panel? | 21:49 |
| kitche | crackintosh: they are most likely not directories it probably means they are executable | 21:49 |
| crackintosh | they are directories, they are followed by a / | 21:50 |

| arnath01 | is there need for a software firewall in ubuntu if it's behind a hardware firewall? | 21:54 |
| kahrytan | arnath01➲ Ubuntu already has a firewall | 21:54 |
| arnath01 | kahrytan: installed & run by default? | 21:55 |
| kahrytan | arnath01➲ yes. | 21:55 |
| arnath01 | kahrytan: which one? | 21:55 |
| kitche | crackintosh: I know what you mean that still means it executable it's how the gnome terminal application does it | 21:55 |
| astro76 | !iptables | arnath01 | 21:55 |
| ubotu | arnath01: 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). | 21:55 |
| Viking | How can it be configured to let Skype connect to the net ? | 21:55 |
| Rockoman | Does anyone know why The Mana World wont work ? | 21:55 |
| Viking | Thru firestarter | 21:55 |
| kitche | arnath01: the firewall doesn't run by default since it has no rules to apply to | 21:55 |
| kahrytan | arnath01➲ it's call iptables. | 21:55 |
| arnath01 | ah ok | 21:55 |
| adelie | arnath01: with all machines, even windows machines (despite what windows tells you) you should NOT use a firewall on your computer when on a VPN | 21:55 |
| saintz0r | hello all. i just isntalled ubuntu and grub wont work. getting the Error 2. looked it up and cant seem to find an answer. using live cd now. some help :p | 21:56 |
| arnath01 | adelie: why is that? if you open the correct ports, it should be fine no? | 21:56 |
| kitche | arnath01: well iptables runs just doesn't do anything | 21:56 |
| kahrytan | arnath01➲ by default, Ubuntu how no open pprts | 21:56 |
| chemisus | what is the line in file in /dev? | 21:57 |
| Viking | I believe Skype uses a range of ports.Maybe random. | 21:57 |
| svladcjelli | arnath01: you can use a fw and vpn no prob | 21:57 |
| kitche | kahrytan: the UTF-8 encoding whenever you say someone's name makes your messages hard to read sometimes | 21:57 |
| svladcjelli | has to be configured right obviously | 21:57 |
| kahrytan | Kitar|st➲ It's an arroe | 21:57 |
| fizzle | got a question. when you start ubuntu it comes up with the loading screen instead of printing out kernel commands | 21:57 |
| kahrytan | arrow | 21:57 |
| arnath01 | well my question was more aimed at: is it necessary to have the firewall (or in this case the rules of the already running firewall) in place? is there much of a threat to ubuntu on this level that a hardware firewall does not take care of? | 21:57 |
| adelie | arnath01: unless you are concerned about malicious attacks from people on your VPN, it is just an unnecessary hassle. On large networks it is sometimes good to put subnets behind firewalls in case of coworkers infecting the network with viruses, but aside from that, you are safe | 21:57 |
| fizzle | what program does that? | 21:57 |
| Rockoman | Hey I just installed a game and its telling me theres no such file or directory when I goto play it, how can I fix it? | 21:57 |
| Flannel | kahrytan: thats actually not entirely true anymore. Avahi is open by default, but its the only one. | 21:58 |
| adelie | Rockoman: from the repository, or ? | 21:58 |
| Rockoman | yeah the add/remove list | 21:58 |
| Myrtti | arnath01: if you've not installed server software, you're fine | 21:58 |
| kahrytan | Flannel➲ Whats that | 21:58 |
| Rockoman | i instaled it on my laptop withoiut a problem | 21:58 |
| Viking | Rockoman:Maybe that game is dedicated to some other distro ? | 21:58 |
| adelie | Rockoman: what game, if you don't mind? | 21:58 |
| Rockoman | no my laptop is running the same distro | 21:58 |
| Rockoman | The Mana World | 21:58 |
| arnath01 | Myrtti: i have, apache server, ftp, and the likes, but they all get blocked by the hardware firewall | 21:58 |
| Flannel | kahrytan: Avahi is what lets you find network services on your local network. | 21:59 |
| Myrtti | well, then | 21:59 |
| Viking | You've typed: Hey I just installed a game and its telling me theres no such file or directory when I goto play it, how can I fix it? | 21:59 |

| erUSUL | adelie: as i said i do not use pidgin as irc client; sorry | 21:59 |
| arnath01 | Myrtti: ok, yet another rephrasing then :D are there any other threats such as trojans etc that are pervasive in ubuntu systems that i should be aware of? | 21:59 |
| svladcjelli | arnath01: security is always a tradeoff between user-friendliness and security - the choices are yours based on how paranoid you are and how much you mind figuring out firewall issues | 21:59 |
| Viking | But not with every graphics manager. | 21:59 |
| xal2 | hello | 21:59 |
| sd32_ | yeah that was my concers | 22:00 |

| sd32_ | svladcjelli, thanks | 22:00 |

| dfeser | I'm looking for a programm to search and download podcasts in ubuntu | 22:00 |
| Myrtti | arnath01: there isn't any ports open without your knowledge by default. | 22:00 |
| Viking | There are a lot of lightweight window managers. | 22:00 |
| arnath01 | Myrtti: ok | 22:00 |
| Flannel | Myrtti: Does avahi ask you on bootup or something? | 22:00 |
| Viking | xfce is the default in xubuntu | 22:00 |
| Myrtti | Flannel: huh? | 22:01 |
| Viking | blackbox ... | 22:01 |
| kahrytan | arnath01➲ you have used windows for far to long | 22:01 |
| xal2 | any ideas? i've searched but can't find the command | 22:01 |
| dfeser | I'm looking for a programm to search and download podcasts in ubuntu | 22:01 |
| svladcjelli | i don't get that, to my knowledge, there is no firewall blocking ports in a default install | 22:01 |
| frojnd | which organization is dealing with internet standars: a)microsoft b)Netscape c) The World Wide Web Consortium ? | 22:01 |
| arnath01 | kahrytan: well actually i've been meddling with linux for quite a while and switched everything i have to linux bout half a year ago :P | 22:01 |

| svladcjelli | ryancr: i am on eeepc | 22:02 |
| arnath01 | kahrytan: (before that i only had 1 ubuntu computer) | 22:02 |
| kahrytan | arnath01➲ why paranoid? | 22:02 |
| arnath01 | kahrytan: it's in my nature ;) | 22:02 |
| adelie | arnath01: Welcome to the world of Linux. There are virtually no threats otherthen the ones you create, and that even requires a little work. | 22:02 |
| arnath01 | adelie: hehe :P | 22:02 |
| dfeser | kahrytan: yes I know...but I'd like to search some repos like the iTunes one with it | 22:02 |
| ryancr | svladcjelli: does the eeepc come stock like that? | 22:02 |
| svladcjelli | frojnd: this is why IE does not work in well coded websites sometimes | 22:02 |

| ryancr | svladcjelli: i am just going to get a small low power server from home, and was thinking doing the ide->cf and was wondering about speed etc | 22:03 |
| adelie | arnath01: However, in addition to that, Linux is well protected from potential threats, where as windows is only poorly protected by known threats, and even then only after they come out with the patch 2 months to a year+ too late :) | 22:03 |
| Rockoman | komputes . debconf gnome-panel? | 22:03 |
| svladcjelli | ryancr: speed is fine, it is $$ that is bad | 22:03 |

| FluxD | erUSUL: what is mixer_app? | 22:12 |
| joebobjoe | svladcjelli: i enabled the driver, now it says that | 22:12 |
| komputes | adelie: well i did it under sudo so once the term was closed it reverted back to no panels, but then they showed up after reboot | 22:12 |

| kelsin | pegasos: /etc/init.d is not in the path, so running "mysql status" still calls the mysql client program, not the script in /etc/init.d | 22:21 |

| bruenig | linduxed, what do you mean not there? that is the name, the binary is different | 22:41 |
| bruenig | growisofs is actually a front end | 22:41 |
| Benalex | kelsin Slart erUSUL thank you all | 22:41 |
| bruenig | although command line | 22:41 |
| bruenig | linduxed, I think it is implemented as some sort of panel applet | 22:42 |
| erUSUL | Slart: cdrecord is being replaced by wodim | 22:42 |

| bruenig | wodim and genisoimage and the others are clones of cdrecord and mkisofs but are released under gpl | 22:43 |
| Slart | Benalex: from the description I'd say wodim can | 22:43 |
| erUSUL | Benalex: for dvd i recomend growisofs | 22:44 |
| bruenig | wodim and cdrecord are the same thing however | 22:44 |
| lenorek | Hi everyone: can someone help me with this problem I have with CDs and DVDs not mounting? I get this error: "Unable to mount the volume" | 22:44 |

| lenorek | kitche: How do I do that? | 22:50 |

| sd32_ | i went back to the system default because i had problems with the theme going away in certain windows | 23:22 |
| wols | TTilus: afaik not with the installer | 23:23 |
| kjp2 | unstable_geek: it says net: registered protocol family 17 | 23:23 |
| Loftroffle | svladcjelli: oh geez I thought I'd looked in here. That's really hidden D: thanks :) | 23:23 |

| Cyserox | sup guys | 23:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TTilus: would not bother with softraid... | 23:23 |
| unstable_geek | that's weird | 23:23 |
| Cyserox | i was asking in the linux channel wat linux distro is rigfht for me, and they directed me here | 23:23 |
| kitche | unstable_geek: you can but that's not the channel that your thinking of really | 23:23 |
| wols | Jack_Sparrow: why not? | 23:23 |
| kjp2 | exactly. | 23:23 |
| Cyserox | anyone have screen shots of ubuntu looking sexy? Lol | 23:24 |
| TTilus | Jack_Sparrow: well, it _has_ given me considerable speedup and i dont expect it to disappear on this reinstall ;) | 23:24 |
| erUSUL | Cyserox: google has a million i'm sure ;) | 23:24 |
| wols | kjp2: then set up eth1 and eth2 as well | 23:24 |
| Cyserox | lol | 23:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wols: I can handle my own backups and there isnt the speed difference there used to be in raid that made me use it in the first place | 23:24 |
| unstable_geek | kitche: ok. maybe I'd better track down someone on the kernel mailing list. I've got a real strange problem of the filesystem not holding changes after a reboot | 23:24 |
| vbabiy_laptop | hey guys is there any way i can restart x on a box using ssh | 23:24 |
| wols | raid is no backup | 23:24 |
| JakeConnor | can anyone here load sourceforge.com? it seems to be down for me | 23:24 |
| svladcjelli | Cyserox: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lcv_l7Y73o ? | 23:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wols: I understand what raid is.. | 23:25 |
| lucian | JakeConnor: sourceforge.net? | 23:25 |
| vbabiy_laptop | sourceforge is up here | 23:25 |
| erUSUL | vbabiy_laptop: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 23:25 |
| vbabiy_laptop | erUSUL: thanks | 23:25 |
| TTilus | Jack_Sparrow: i wont be mirroring, but striping, raid0 you see | 23:25 |
| TTilus | Jack_Sparrow: i do my backups too ;) | 23:25 |
| kjp2 | wols: ok, with the second card in the box, i can bring up eth1, as the onboard card | 23:25 |
| JakeConnor | lucian: either | 23:25 |
| kitche | JakeConnor: well the site is sourceforge.net not .com anyways | 23:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wols: Yep.. I used to have striping and mirror | 23:26 |
| magnetron | do you know any webservers except apache that support content negotiation? (multiple languages support) | 23:26 |

| asnd16 | got it | 23:27 |
| asnd16 | sorry . . sticky fingers | 23:27 |
| kjp2 | asnd16: use pastebin. until you've used pastebin i'm not helping | 23:27 |
| asnd16 | how do you use pastebin? | 23:27 |
| lucian | !pastebin | 23:27 |
| 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) | 23:27 |
| asnd16 | thanx its been years that I have been in IRC | 23:28 |
| asnd16 | !pastbin | 23:28 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:28 |
| svladcjelli | asnd16: found it right under your forum post googling http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/12/07/howto-logitech-quickcam-pro-9000-with-fedora-8/ | 23:28 |
| asnd16 | that is fedora | 23:28 |
| asnd16 | would it would with mine as well? | 23:28 |
| === ubuntuisloved is now known as UBUNTUISLOVED | ||
| asnd16 | Or with gusty . . . | 23:29 |
| magnetron | !msgthebot > asnd16 (read private msg from ubotu) | 23:29 |
| svladcjelli | same steps asnd16 | 23:29 |
| svladcjelli | you have to get the updated driver and compile it yourself | 23:29 |
| unstable_geek | help /join | 23:29 |
| unstable_geek | oops | 23:30 |
| unstable_geek | haha | 23:30 |
| svladcjelli | but asnd16 have you checked if it works in ekiga? | 23:30 |
| unstable_geek | help /leave | 23:30 |
| kbrooks | how do i make firefox start faster? | 23:30 |
| svladcjelli | cause that driver is in gutsy | 23:30 |
| unstable_geek | damn! i did it again :D | 23:30 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | add more ram | 23:30 |
| flipmode | how do i get mp3 support for k3b? | 23:30 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | apt-get install k3b-mp3 | 23:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | flipmode: synaptic has an addon for k3b | 23:31 |
| kbrooks | UBUNTUISLOVED, not a solution | 23:31 |
| BB88 | Anybody know of a CD Ripper better than Sound Juicer; it is very limited? | 23:31 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | kbrooks search firefox start faster on google | 23:31 |
| lucian | kbrooks: i think there is an add-on at firefox.com addon section that lets you tweak stuff so it will start-up a bit faster. However, you could always use lynx or w3m if you want quickness | 23:31 |
| Slart | BB88: have you tried serpentine? | 23:31 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | cd ripper why not use one from the command line? | 23:31 |
| BB88 | No. Is that availble in the Synaptic? | 23:31 |
| ikonia | UBUNTUISLOVED: that is not a cdripper | 23:32 |
| ikonia | BB88: xripper ? | 23:32 |
| Benalex | Slart: I wanna be more specific, I have a HiFidelio (a music server) which is running yellow dog linux.. and can be accessed by telnet , this music server can burn audo and mp3 discs... i have tried the commands you gave me but none of them worked, any suggestions? | 23:32 |
| SonicChao | I like the LTS versions, so when the next one comes out (which I'm not sure is when?), will I be able to update directly to it? | 23:32 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=firefox+start+faster&btnG=Search | 23:32 |
| BB88 | ikonia: Is there a installer package? | 23:32 |
| ikonia | UBUNTUISLOVED: do you have a question ? | 23:32 |
| SonicChao | Instead of updating to Edgy, then Gusty? :| | 23:32 |
| ikonia | BB88: I'm not %100 if xripper is in the ubuntu repo's | 23:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SonicChao: you should be able to go from lts to lts | 23:32 |
| Slart | BB88: I think it is.. do a search for serpentine | 23:32 |
| SonicChao | (then the next LTS version?) | 23:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !release | SonicChao | 23:33 |
| ubotu | SonicChao: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 23:33 |
| Slart | Benalex: what commands did I give you? | 23:33 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | ikonia yes they make cdripper from the command line | 23:33 |
| erUSUL | BB88: i use grip | 23:33 |
| ikonia | UBUNTUISLOVED: please don't talk nonsense | 23:33 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | abcde is one | 23:33 |
| Benalex | Slart: you gave me cdrecord.. and some people suggested wodim and growisofs | 23:33 |
| ikonia | UBUNTUISLOVED: if you are attempting to troll, I will request you leave now | 23:33 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | ikonia im going to warn you to stop ! this is your warning | 23:34 |
| Slart | Benalex: ah.. they didn't work? were you able to install the programs? | 23:34 |
| loke_ | UBUNTUISLOVED: You're not helping anyone by giving incorrect advice. | 23:34 |
| ikonia | loke_: it's being delt with | 23:34 |
| BB88 | erUSUL: How would I go about install 'grip' ? | 23:34 |
| Benalex | I can install packages... | 23:34 |
| Chousuke | UBUNTUISLOVED sounds like a bot :P | 23:34 |
| erUSUL | BB88: Applications>Add/remove | 23:35 |
| Slart | Benalex: and were any of those packages available for your machine? | 23:35 |
| Rezagrats | Ok!: downloading and configuring jircii manually, anyone have a video on how to do it?! | 23:35 |
| BB88 | Grip is not the repo's? | 23:35 |
| MacTheMad | quit | 23:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info grip | 23:35 |
| ubotu | grip: GNOME-based CD-player/ripper/encoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.3.1-12ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 457 kB, installed size 1304 kB | 23:35 |
| Benalex | Slart: aha.. I got your point... I'll do some search about burning packages available in yello dog | 23:35 |
| BB88 | Wait, it is, I had the combo-box set to installed only ;) | 23:35 |
| SonicChao | Jack_Sparrow, the wiki page on TimeBasedRelesaes doesn't really answer this | 23:35 |
| BB88 | Thank you erUSUL. | 23:36 |
| Slart | Benalex: do that.. or ask in a channel for your distro.. they will probably know better | 23:36 |
| loke_ | SonicChao: You can't skip from one lts to the other. There will be too much "breakage". | 23:36 |
| erUSUL | BB88: no problem | 23:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SonicChao: I seem to remember that you will be able to go from lts 6.06 to the next lts.. without the other steps | 23:36 |
| kbrooks | i want firefox to, and this is the key word, start up, faster | 23:36 |
| Benalex | Slart: have you heard about xcdroast? | 23:37 |
| kbrooks | Jack_Sparrow, you can't, not without a reinstall | 23:37 |
| erUSUL | kbrooks: disable all the extensions you may have | 23:37 |
| ikonia | Jack_Sparrow: LTS to LTS should work, there are questions over glibc upgrades | 23:37 |
| Slart | Benalex: perhaps.. the name sounds familiar.. but isn't that a gui application? | 23:37 |
| LjL | kbrooks: how do you know that? | 23:37 |
| ikonia | kbrooks: look at pre-linking | 23:37 |
| SonicChao | uh...what? | 23:37 |
| ikonia | LjL: he doesn't | 23:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ikonia: thats what I thought | 23:37 |
| SonicChao | I can or can't? D: | 23:37 |
| jftsang | Hi, does Ubuntu 7.10 Server have a GUI? | 23:37 |
| ikonia | LjL: standard issue randomness | 23:37 |
| asnd16 | yeah that did not work | 23:37 |
| ikonia | jftsang: not installed by default | 23:38 |
| kbrooks | SonicChao, ok, can, but the questions lurk over your head ;-) | 23:38 |
| Benalex | Slart: I don't know , but it is listed in Yellow dogs accessories | 23:38 |
| magnetron | kbrooks: you want a faster browser? install epiphany. | 23:38 |
| loke_ | jftsang: No, the server edition does not come with a gui pre-installed. | 23:38 |
| jftsang | ok, how do I install one then | 23:38 |
| erUSUL | SonicChao: i guess we will know when we read the release notes ;) | 23:38 |
| ikonia | kbrooks: it's not over his head - its over your head, thats why you don't know | 23:38 |
| SonicChao | !info glibc | 23:38 |
| ubotu | Package glibc does not exist in gutsy | 23:38 |
| LjL | SonicChao, i guess the reasonable answer is, there is no LTS other than 6.06 out yet, so "there's no way you'd know". but i'm pretty confident they'll try hard to implement seamless LTS->LTS upgrading, as that's quite a vital feature | 23:38 |
| Slart | Benalex: applications with a x in front of them are usually gui applications running in x-windows.. | 23:38 |
| ikonia | kbrooks: don't put people down when you actually don't understand | 23:38 |
| magnetron | jftsang: no, but you can use a graphical version of ubuntu as a server | 23:38 |
| loke_ | jftsang: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop gnome-extras | 23:38 |
| jftsang | loke_: ok | 23:38 |
| loke_ | jftsang: However, kde and others are available. | 23:38 |
| SonicChao | LjL, okay. It would be a pain to skip from one update to another. xD | 23:38 |
| loke_ | jftsang: It epends on what you want. | 23:38 |
| kk | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzeSey6I28U | 23:39 |
| kbrooks | ikonia, i did not put him down. i said yes he can, but i was referring to the glibc upgrade questions that lurk over his head | 23:39 |
| * jftsang likes GNOME more than KDE | 23:39 | |
| ikonia | kk: this is a support forum | 23:39 |
| SonicChao | Glibc? | 23:39 |
| SonicChao | What? | 23:39 |
| Eja | i need ur vote www.publicpet.gr/ejavaqel/vote , from Greece!:d | 23:39 |
| kk | yes | 23:39 |
| ikonia | kbrooks: no - you said you can't without a re-install, you didn't know about the glibc potential issues until I mentioned it, so don't say things you don't understand or know nothing about and don't say things are over peoples head | 23:39 |
| SonicChao | !glibc | 23:39 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about glibc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:39 |
| LjL | kk: then why are you posting youtube links? | 23:39 |
| kbrooks | ikonia, sorry | 23:40 |
| BB88 | erUSUL: How can I configure the bitrate, output format, folder ouput. Sorry I am a nub ;) | 23:40 |
| ikonia | kbrooks: if you don't know something, don't talk with authority | 23:40 |
| SonicChao | Everyone's arguing :| | 23:40 |
| SonicChao | But what is glibc? DD: | 23:40 |
| ikonia | SonicChao: its the core system libary of ubuntu | 23:40 |
| LjL | SonicChao, the GNU implementation of the standard C library | 23:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kbrooks: YEs, you did say ... <kbrooks> Jack_Sparrow, you can't, not without a reinstall | 23:40 |
| ikonia | SonicChao: or linux in general I should say | 23:40 |
| Rezagrats | Java, how do i manually install it ? | 23:40 |
| jftsang | loke_ : Couldn't find package | 23:41 |
| Ganjistus | hiogh | 23:41 |
| Ganjistus | heh | 23:41 |
| kk | it is impotant that u watch it! | 23:41 |
| ikonia | Jack_Sparrow: its standard issue kbrooks stuff, talk nonsense | 23:41 |
| ikonia | kk: its not important and it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 23:41 |
| Ganjistus | how can i add a second gateway? | 23:41 |
| kbrooks | Jack_Sparrow, i know, i misunderstood what ikonia was saying, now its clear, please drop it | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:41 |
| ikonia | kbrooks: you didn't understnad, you didn't know, as normal and just made up a response | 23:41 |
| Jangari | is there a bash command to return all my hardware information on this machine? ram, processor, etc.,? | 23:41 |
| Ganjistus | there is no gui to add a second gateway, i am multihomed | 23:41 |
| kbrooks | ikonia, ok i admit it | 23:41 |
| Rezagrats | How do i manually install java? | 23:41 |
| loke_ | jftsang: Sorry, apprently it's now: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment | 23:41 |
| ikonia | Jack_Sparrow: lshw | 23:41 |
| ikonia | Jack_Sparrow: sorry | 23:41 |
| ikonia | Jangari: lshw | 23:42 |
| SonicChao | kbrooks, It's ok c: I'm not mad at you | 23:42 |
| Jangari | ta | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | BB88: on the Configure tab ?? | 23:42 |
| SonicChao | You just confused me for a minute is all | 23:42 |
| LjL | ikonia, kbrooks, Jack_Sparrow: please take it to -offtopic or somewhere now | 23:42 |
| ikonia | LjL: its done | 23:42 |
| ikonia | just fed up with | 23:42 |
| jftsang | loke_ ok | 23:42 |
| Ganjistus | i am cowfused | 23:42 |
| SonicChao | Ganjistus, about? | 23:42 |
| lockd | does anyone know of a UI builder like 'Interface Builder' or 'Gorm', but embedded in an IDE? | 23:43 |
| CaptainMorgan | !dotedit | 23:43 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dotedit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:43 |
| erUSUL | BB88: i know it is not the more intuitive piece of software but you wanted something more configurable than sound juicer... | 23:43 |
| etfb | lockd: try Lazarus, a Pascal IDE similar to Delphi | 23:43 |
| jftsang | loke_: still no D: | 23:43 |
| * jftsang goes tobed | 23:43 | |
| lockd | etfb: Pascal only? | 23:43 |
| Kobaka | Hey guys, do any of you know a lot about VirtualBox? | 23:43 |
| etfb | lockd: Yep, but with object oriented extensions | 23:43 |
| CaptainMorgan | anyone work with DotEdit, a graph and node editing app? I click on it in the menu but it never opens... I checked with ps -aux to see if it was running and it's not, I reinstalled the program to no avail... any ideas? | 23:43 |
| winkman | Kobaka: I know a little? | 23:44 |
| harkonen | kobaka: what do you need to know? | 23:44 |
| lockd | etfb: Never used it, C-ish is best | 23:44 |
| etfb | lockd: Delphi is my preferred language (out of about 30 that I know) for dev work on Windoze | 23:44 |
| erUSUL | !info lazarus | 23:44 |

| etfb | lockd: Lazarus is pretty similar, although flakey at times | 23:44 |
| lockd | etfb: (best because I've spent 12 weeks coding Java) | 23:44 |
| Gatestone | Firefox keeps freezing on Gutsy, every 10 minutes or so...? | 23:44 |
| Kobaka | Well i'm trying to install Windows 98 SE, but it wont read the CD. | 23:44 |
| Kobaka | So i was wondering if i'm missing something... | 23:44 |
| etfb | lockd: I've done no Java (it makes me itch) | 23:44 |
| SonicChao | Kobaka > ##windows | 23:44 |
| Gatestone | Tried removing and re-instra | 23:45 |
| etfb | lockd: try Mono if you don't mind C# | 23:45 |
| PasteL | have anyone managed to install shockwave direcotr in to firefox or opera? | 23:45 |
| Gatestone | Tried removing and re-installing FF but it still freezes all the time, after short usage. | 23:45 |
| lockd | etfb: java gets annoying with OOP | 23:45 |
| loke_ | Gatestone: Possible flash plugin issue? | 23:45 |
| harkonen | Kobaka: I've never tried installing windows into Virtualbox only other linuxes. is it a legit copy of windows? and did you set up the virtual machine properly? | 23:45 |
| Gatestone | Id the flash a FF E | 23:46 |
| soldats | PasteL, whats shockwave director | 23:46 |
| etfb | lockd: it's horribly verbose. C# isn't much better (although slightly); Delphi (and Lazarus) are a vast improvement | 23:46 |
| ikonia | loke_: doubtful as the flash plugin package won't currently install | 23:46 |
| lockd | etfb: I end up throwing that part away, by sharing everything | 23:46 |
| Gatestone | Id the flash a FF E | 23:46 |
| xenthro | BB88 k3b has plenty of configurable cd ripping stuff | 23:46 |
| PasteL | is not flash plugin, "Shockwave Director" for open this page.. http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml | 23:46 |
| BB88 | That in the depo? | 23:46 |
| helluvaCSMajor | how do i set my scroll wheel button to toggle between scroll mode and regular, like in Windows? | 23:46 |
| xenthro | yes | 23:46 |
| xenthro | i used it about a dozen times | 23:46 |
| etfb | lockd: also might be worth looking at BoaConstructor, a pig-ugly but full-featured IDE for Python | 23:46 |
| Gatestone | loke_, I have no FF Flash Add-on in Tools/Add-ons | 23:46 |
| soldats | PasteL, ahh ok ill look into it | 23:47 |
| etfb | (Python's a vast improvement again over its competition) | 23:47 |

| loke_ | Benalex: locate file | 23:47 |
| helluvaCSMajor | how do i set my scroll wheel button to toggle between scroll mode and regular, like in Windows? | 23:47 |
| ikonia | Benalex: find | 23:47 |
| harkonen | Benalex: locate | 23:47 |
| Kobaka | harkone: yeah, it's legit. And i believe i did, but i'll go through it again. | 23:48 |
| etfb | Benalex: general form is "sudo find / -name froggy*" to find all files starting with "froggy" | 23:48 |
| etfb | Benalex: sudo saves you seeing error messages about inaccessible directories | 23:49 |
| harkonen | Kobaka: I guess make sure you have the boot volume for your virtual machine set to read your real CD/DVD drive. | 23:49 |
| Benalex | thank you all | 23:49 |
| etfb | Benalex: not familiar with locate; must look that up... | 23:49 |
| harkonen | Kobaka: otherwise it'll try to boot from the virtual machine hard drive, which right now is empty | 23:49 |
| helluvaCSMajor | how do i set my scroll wheel button to toggle between scroll mode and regular, like in Windows? | 23:49 |

| akorn | anybody here able to help me figure out why my emerald compiz themes keep crashing? | 23:50 |
| etfb | loke_: I'm guessing it's part of bash? | 23:50 |
| Kobaka | harkonen: hmm, that might be it... thanks | 23:50 |
| Benalex | etfb: *fro* will find any file that has fro in its name? | 23:50 |

| Jack_Sparrow | np.. and welcome to the channel | 23:50 |
| helluvaCSMajor | how do i set my scroll wheel button to toggle between scroll mode and regular, like in Windows? | 23:51 |
| lgc | Dç | 23:51 |
| etfb | Benalex: yes, but wrap it in quotes just to be on the safe side, ie sudo find / -iname "*fro*" | 23:51 |
| CaptainMorgan | anyone? | 23:51 |
| Slart | etfb: doesn't find use regexps? | 23:51 |
| Shpoo1 | Hello everyone...Is there a simple way to create a FTP folder on the desktop? | 23:51 |
| loke_ | etfb: Here's the man entry for locate in case you don't feel like waiting. http://pastebin.ca/815336 | 23:52 |
| etfb | Slart: I thought it uses globs (ie "*" in glob means ".*" in regexp) but it might be an option. man find is your friend | 23:52 |
| neverblue | Shpoo1, ? | 23:52 |
| loke_ | etfb: note: man locate brings up the manual for slocate. | 23:52 |
| Slart | Shpoo1: a "ftp folder"? what do you mean by that? | 23:52 |
| erUSUL | BB88: you have to install it use synaptic | 23:52 |
| lgc | How can I reload the SMP kernel? thanks. | 23:52 |
| neverblue | what do you mean Shpoo1 ? | 23:52 |
| Slart | etfb: yes.. perhaps it does.. nevermind | 23:52 |
| erUSUL | BB88: or in command line 'sudo apt-get install lame' | 23:52 |
| ikonia | lgc: reboot | 23:52 |
| Shpoo1 | neverblue: I want to create a folder that has an open connection to my FTP server...and I was told it can be done | 23:52 |
| Shpoo1 | so I figured this is the best place to ask, since google isn't helping too much lol | 23:53 |
| ikonia | Shpoo1: create a follder in the ftp root | 23:53 |
| Slart | Shpoo1: ah.. you want to mount a remote ftp-dir in a folder on your desktop?.. that sounds neat | 23:53 |
| helluvaCSMajor | how do i set my mouse middle button (scroll wheel/button) to turn on a scroll lock type feature, like in Windows? | 23:53 |
| lgc | ikonia, I'm afraid it's not that simple. I cloned the package list of a single-processor machine in an SMP one, and I lost the SMP kernel. | 23:53 |
| akorn | anybody here know how to set up a wireless signal for other computers to connect to yours (my laptop has a wireless card) | 23:53 |
| BB88 | erUSUL: Ok, again thank you. | 23:53 |
| etfb | Jack_Sparrow: thanks for the welcome. This looks addictive! I really should get back to work though... | 23:53 |
| r4wMUnt34q | hey guys | 23:53 |
| ikonia | lgc: what do you mean "cloned the package list" | 23:54 |
| erUSUL | Shpoo1: Places>Connect to server | 23:54 |
| r4wMUnt34q | i have one question about disk partitioning | 23:54 |
| erUSUL | BB88: no problem | 23:54 |
| Shpoo1 | exactly....I'm a novice JS programmer, and it's annoying to constantly have to upload files | 23:54 |
| zenrox | i need some one with ubuntus git experance to help me | 23:54 |
| lgc | ikonia, cloned the install. | 23:54 |
| r4wMUnt34q | I have a win 2000 already | 23:54 |
| ikonia | lgc: do a "uname -a" on your machine tell me what you see | 23:54 |
| zenrox | i have major questions | 23:54 |
| erUSUL | lgc: newer ubuntus doesn't have a separate smp kernel they have a generic one that is smp capable | 23:55 |
| lgc | ikonia, Linux sirius 2.6.22-14-386 #1 Sun Oct 14 22:36:54 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux. | 23:55 |
| r4wMUnt34q | CAN ANYONE HELP ME ? :) | 23:55 |
| erUSUL | !clone > ikonia | 23:55 |
| nickrud | !ask | r4wMUnt34q | 23:55 |
| ubotu | r4wMUnt34q: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 23:55 |
| neverblue | Shpoo1, you want a desktop icon to link to your FTP | 23:55 |
| helluvaCSMajor | how do i set my mouse middle button (scroll wheel/button) to turn on a scroll lock type feature, like in Windows? | 23:55 |
| ikonia | lgc: what release is that, there shouldn't be a 2.6.22 kernel thats not smp | 23:55 |
| soldats | PasteL, i think the only way to get it to use wine with the windows version of firefox and install the showckwave player | 23:55 |
| erUSUL | lgc: so you have to use the -generic kernel not the i386 one. Install it from synaptic | 23:55 |
| Slart | is there such a thing as ftpmount?.. would be nice | 23:55 |
| lgc | ikonia, that's the point, exactly... | 23:56 |
| r4wMUnt34q | ok so I will write it all not in parts so you dont have to find information all over the chat | 23:56 |
| ikonia | lgc: but 2.6.22 is gutsy, and there isn't a non-smp kernel availble in gutsy | 23:56 |
| balphegor | hola | 23:56 |
| lgc | erUSUL, let me check that... | 23:56 |
| lgc | ikonia, so what do you think? | 23:56 |
| nickrud | ikonia, the -i386 is not smp | 23:57 |
| balphegor | alguien sabe como ver el admistrador de programas de ubuntu? | 23:57 |
| erUSUL | lgc: install the generic kernel the i386 is aviable for old machines but it is not the default one | 23:57 |
| Slart | !es | balphegor | 23:57 |
| ubotu | balphegor: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 23:57 |
| ikonia | nickrud: yes, I appriciate that, but the default kernel is smp | 23:57 |
| Shpoo1 | erUSUL: crap that easy, thanks | 23:57 |
| Gatestone | thx luke_, I think it was the flash plugin, i just removed the link from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 23:57 |
| ikonia | nickrud: so the smp kernel should be installed | 23:57 |
| balphegor | gracias ubotu | 23:57 |
| Shpoo1 | neverblue: actually, it created one :-) | 23:57 |
| neverblue | 'it' I see | 23:57 |
| nickrud | ikonia, and I stand corrected, aptitude search doesn't show the i386 in gutsy | 23:57 |
| * loke_ will return shortly | 23:58 | |
| PasteL | soldats: sux, thanks guy | 23:58 |
| Shpoo1 | neverblue: haha sorry, erUSUL's suggestion created a link on the desktop | 23:58 |
| ikonia | nickrud: just done a search the gutsy repo's and there is no i386 kernel in the repo | 23:58 |
| Slart | Shpoo1: you just used the "connect" menu thing? | 23:58 |
| nickrud | Shpoo1, the only problem with that folder is only gnome vfs aware apps will see it; for example, emacs won't | 23:58 |
| nickrud | ikonia, see above :) | 23:59 |
| neverblue | :) | 23:59 |
| Shpoo1 | Slart: yes | 23:59 |
| Lekky | hi guys, i've just installed ubuntu on my 2nd HD, with xp on the 1st. However i dont get the "dual boot" option on startup, can anyone point me in the direction of an answer? | 23:59 |
| erUSUL | Shpoo1: no problem ;) | 23:59 |
| Slart | Shpoo1: sweet.. got to remember that | 23:59 |
| Shpoo1 | nickrud: so if emacs won't, then bluefish won't either then, huh? | 23:59 |
| ikonia | nickrud: which comment, sorry I may have missed your post | 23:59 |
| nickrud | Shpoo1, bluefish does, iirc | 23:59 |
| Shpoo1 | nickrud: perfect :-) | 23:59 |
| nickrud | ikonia, the one where I mentioned that aptitude search didn't find it :) | 23:59 |
