| lgc | erUSUL, Oh I see your point! Let me do that before I try and remove anything. | 00:06 |
| picard_pwns_kirk | xenthro: it displays errors whenever I go to resize the Vista partition | 00:07 |
| Oloughlin75 | r4wMUnt34q: Choose to set up the partitions. | 00:07 |

| erUSUL | ikonia: it can happen when you "cloned" as in !clone or when you upgrade using apt-get directly (not the update-manager) | 00:07 |

| Ganjistus | restricted drivers | 00:16 |
| marginoferror | Note that the two ! marks are different | 00:16 |
| Ste1 | *I tried | 00:16 |
| Ganjistus | then you can select it | 00:16 |
| ikonia | Ste1: do an apt-get update | 00:16 |
| Slart | marginoferror: ? | 00:16 |
| Ste1 | it said it needed nvidia-glx-new | 00:16 |
| Ste1 | and i have | 00:16 |
| Shpoo1 | Slart: yeah it is. Supposedly my host claims any files uploaded via FTP will obtain 755 permissions....but that doesn't seem to be the case. | 00:16 |
| nickrud | marginoferror, try rm [P<tab> (hit the tab key) unless you have already, of course | 00:17 |

| ikonia | Ste1: does apt-cache search nvidia turn up nvidia-glx-new ? | 00:17 |

| underdawg | I'm setting up rules for FIRESTARTER... what do i type if I want to enable a service along a whole ip range? i.e. 192.168.1.1-100? | 00:17 |
| marginoferror | nickrud: it's not an issue of indicating the file properly in the shell. It simply doesn't think the file is there. | 00:17 |
| marginoferror | Oh, the file is on FAT32 if that matters | 00:17 |
| marginoferror | It might | 00:17 |
| erUSUL | BB88: o_O!! i do not know what can be wrong... | 00:18 |
| Ganjistus | i hope the file isn't larger as 4gb | 00:18 |
| marginoferror | Err, scratch that. It is on NTFS with ntfs-fuse | 00:18 |
| nickrud | marginoferror, maybe for the exclamation points, do \! rather than just ! | 00:18 |
| Slart | underdawg: have you checked the manual for firestarter? | 00:18 |
| underdawg | yep | 00:18 |
| underdawg | it's ambiguous | 00:18 |
| mame | hey there I have an issue with a USB joystick. Anyone good with them? | 00:18 |
| BB88 | erUSUL: What is your encoder command line? | 00:18 |
| Shpoo1 | Slart: I'm editing the file directly off the server, so once I save it, it automatically updates on the server. I tried to go into the connection folder and change the permissions, but it doesn't let me. | 00:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BB88: What are you using to encode the mp3's and I assume you got lame encoder installed per the previous instructions | 00:18 |
| Slart | underdaws: are there documentation online? got an url? | 00:19 |
| marginoferror | nickrud: Nope, that doesn't work either. | 00:19 |
| Shpoo1 | Unfortunatley, without 755, or at least executable, permissions, I'm back at square one, lol | 00:19 |
| marginoferror | Is there any way to unlink a file specifically by its inode? | 00:19 |
| nickrud | marginoferror, have you tried putting it in quotes? (my last lame suggestion) | 00:19 |
| Ste1 | apt-cache does not find "nvidia-glx-new" | 00:19 |
| Slart | Shpoo1: hmm.. then I don't know.. if it was your server you could perhaps hack sometihng up.. but now I don't know | 00:19 |
| marginoferror | Not some permutation of find that passes the name to rm, but simply unlinking the inode. | 00:19 |
| BB88 | Jack_Sparrow: Yes I have lame installed, per the previous instructions. I am using grip. I can "rip" the file fine, as if it were a .wav file (around 32mb for a 3 minute track etc.), but when it comes to the encoding part, it just finishes and the file is around 2.0kb? | 00:19 |
| marginoferror | nickrud: yes. | 00:19 |
| ikonia | Ste1: Ste1 do you see restricted in your /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:20 |
| picard_pwns_kirk | xenthro: I can't resize a partition I'm using | 00:20 |

| Slart | underdawg: I did | 00:20 |

| gladeir | Jack_Sparrow the cd doesnt have a problem - it works if i take out the scsi controller. wheres there a list of boot options? ive played with all_gneric_ide and libata.atapi_enabled=1. | 00:20 |
| marginoferror | My graphical shell (Nautilus) can't delete, move or rename the file... but it can open it with file-roller and unpack it properly | 00:20 |
| marginoferror | It's bizarre | 00:20 |
| Shpoo1 | Slart: lol me neither, thanks though | 00:20 |
| erUSUL | BB88: -V1 --vbr-new %w %m (i changed it from the default -V1 is a quality setting so it will ignore the bitrate) | 00:21 |
| Ste1 | Ikonia: im not sure if im looking at the right place, but i cant find "restricted" | 00:21 |
| Shpoo1 | It's not gonna be any easier if I have to always go into my host to change the permissions | 00:21 |
| underdawg | Slart: see how basic it is? | 00:21 |
| BB88 | erUSUL: V1 as in VBR? I just want it to rip at 320 Kbps CBR, if possible :D | 00:21 |
| ikonia | Ste1: please go to "system --> Administration --> software sources" in the gui | 00:21 |
| robdig | marginoferror: are permissions ok? | 00:21 |
| underdawg | i guess i could ask it this way... if I want to make a policy in iptables for a service to open to a whole ip range, how do i do it? | 00:22 |
| Ste1 | ok | 00:22 |
| Slart | underdawg: yes.. doesn't look like you can do "ranges" from that short manual | 00:22 |
| erUSUL | BB88: then leave the command line as is | 00:22 |
| ikonia | underdawg: -source 192.168.1.0 | 00:22 |
| ikonia | underdawg: for example | 00:22 |
| marginoferror | robdig: Yes. | 00:22 |
| BB88 | That is where I am having the troubles, I am certain. | 00:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gladeir: pci=noapci acpi=off noapic nolapic or all_generic_ide are the ones I have used | 00:22 |
| marginoferror | robdig: 600 and owned by me. | 00:22 |
| Slart | underdawg: iptables can do ranges.. with netmasks or start-end I think | 00:23 |
| underdawg | Slart: thanks for confirming | 00:23 |
| underdawg | all Firstarter is is a front end for iptables im sure | 00:23 |
| erUSUL | BB88: you can set the bitrate on the other tab (Options) | 00:23 |
| Slart | indeed | 00:23 |
| Ste1 | Ikonia: i figured it out, thank you very much | 00:23 |
| BB88 | I have done so. | 00:23 |
| ikonia | Ste1: no problem | 00:23 |
| ikonia | Ste1: welcome | 00:23 |
| nickrud | underdawg, shorewall is a middle ground between iptables and firestarter, you might like it's flexibility. | 00:23 |
| robdig | marginoferror: if its the only .rar file you have, then maybe something like rm `ls *.rar` if you have more .rar files, this will get them too | 00:24 |

| Jack_Sparrow | BB88: have you gone into config and set the encoder under config/encode/encoder | 00:24 |
| ikonia | TheZealot: program for what | 00:24 |
| gladeir | Jack_Sparrow ill go try them now ... brb (also have laptop to put together :P) | 00:24 |

| TheZealot | ikonia just a terminal... | 00:24 |
| xenthro | picard_pwns_kirk I don't use vista... but recovery partitions are extremely annoying and often screw with partitioning.. which is what happened with me. When i got my laptop I formatted the whole thing, all partitions, used the ubuntu cd to create 3 partitions, then installed windows in the first partition | 00:24 |
| underdawg | :( | 00:25 |
| BB88 | Yes "lame" "/usr/bin/lame" | 00:25 |

| SonicChao | !ask | 00:25 |

| picard_pwns_kirk | xenthro: should I just do that? | 00:25 |
| underdawg | nickrud: i suppose it has a man | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BB88: not what I meant... in grip.... | 00:25 |
| marginoferror | robdig: Trust me, I've tried every permutation of that. The problem is with the filesystem recognition of the file, not my entering the name into the shell | 00:25 |
| nickrud | underdawg, it has a complete doc package, shorewall-doc | 00:25 |

| underdawg | !iptables | 00:57 |
| 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). | 00:57 |

| ikonia | bcnl: udevd isn't running, thats the problem | 00:58 |

| svladcjelli | Dassouki: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3914868 | 00:59 |

| svladcjelli | or cd is bad | 00:59 |
| jqubuntu | If I have the original ubuntu cd and a copy that won't boot, if I put the one that can boot in and then switch to the one that wouldn't boot will it install from that? | 01:00 |

| josiahw_ | does it make any difference when encoding a divx from dvd to do a second pass through? | 01:01 |
| bcnl | ikonia: is it ok to just run udevd from the commandline? | 01:01 |

| kbrooks | jqubuntu, if you can (please be patient), do not switch the cd when you see the "ubuntu" splash screen with the progress bar. switch the cd when you see "ubuntu" after the computer reads from the cd | 01:02 |
| Wing | I swear I installed it on a friend's system. | 01:02 |

| Wing | Oh yeah. | 01:02 |
| josiahw_ | esp177: what does it do? why does it make the video better? | 01:02 |
| jqubuntu | kbrooks: like when you see the screen where you choose what you want it to do? | 01:02 |

| josiahw_ | esp177: its taking like 2 hours each dvd | 01:03 |
| bcnl | now I need to see why udevd is not running from init | 01:03 |
| jqubuntu | kbrooks: ok cool thanks | 01:03 |

| kbrooks | jqubuntu, so that the timeout does not kick in | 01:03 |

| bucky100 | hey guys, my taskbar crashed, how can I recover it? | 01:05 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | mikefoo, i also would recommend a quick Xampp program | 01:05 |
| svladcjelli | mikefoo: tasksel in the terminal may be something to look at as well | 01:05 |
| mikefoo | Xampp? | 01:05 |
| josiahw_ | warriorforgod: You should run the Envy script: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html | 01:05 |
| mikefoo | taskel? | 01:05 |
| mikefoo | what is this, hah | 01:05 |
| josiahw_ | warriorforgod: does everything for you :) | 01:05 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | mikefoo, while xampp is not part of ubuntu its nice if you want ftp mysql and apache and php and more all setup in one | 01:05 |
| tongueroo | on a filesystem, how many files can you go up to before performance takes a substantial hit? | 01:05 |

| tongueroo | not sure what the filesystem is.. its gentoo instasll | 01:06 |

| kierov | dispcurrsong | 01:06 |
| ikonia | tongueroo: lots of variables that can effect it | 01:06 |

| Shpoo1 | Okay, I'm editing HTML, CSS, and JS files in bluefish, and would like to save directly to a FTP folder. I've achieved this, but now when I save the file, it changes the permissions on the host to 660, when they have to be 755. The host claims that all files uploaded via FTP are set to 755. Is this something that can be remedied through Ubuntu, or does it sound like a problem with my web host? | 01:07 |
| Sweet-P | what file would I edit to change my ubuntu system from gnome to xfce if I can't be at the console? | 01:07 |
| underdawg | how do you restart iptables back to original spec (like it is aftrer install?) | 01:07 |
| warriorforgod | svladcjelli: Here is the log file http://rafb.net/p/rcZ6eh88.html | 01:07 |
| underdawg | i kepe getting a connection refused on my ssh attempts | 01:07 |
| ikonia | Shpoo1: your webhost needs to set the umask on the ftp server | 01:07 |
| ikonia | underdawg: is sshd running on the server ? | 01:07 |
| ikonia | underdawg: iptables -FX | 01:08 |
| kbrooks | Shpoo1, tell the webhost to set the umask to 022 | 01:08 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Shpool hmm do you have ssh access to your host? you can possibly change the config in your ftp server if so | 01:08 |
| soldats | Sweet-P, gotta downsload xfce | 01:08 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | underdawg: are you asking for the default config files? | 01:08 |
| Shpoo1 | ikonia, well, I don't see that happening...they're not very helpful with anything. Looks like it'll be back to the upload page until I can switch. I'll try and talk to them, but I'm sure this is gonna be the straw that broke the horses back. | 01:09 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Shpool whos the host company | 01:09 |
| Shpoo1 | Awardspace | 01:10 |
| bucky100 | how do you recover the taskbar after it crashes? | 01:10 |
| apocn_ | Hello, I want to connect to a L2TP/IPSec VPN server, does anyone know how to do it? or maybe to point me some vpn client? | 01:10 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Shpool never heard of them? is it possible you can just change the settings through a control panel on thier site? | 01:11 |
| ckin2001 | apocn_, the plugins for network manager work very well for all the vpns i need to connect to | 01:11 |

| Shpoo1 | jason: I've been looking, but the only FTP setting I can change is my password. the CP is horrible, and they don't allow for customization of much. I can't even find where to change file permissions. | 01:12 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | can i post a link ? | 01:12 |
| Sweet_P | is there a way to switch sessions from gnome to xfce from CLI? | 01:12 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | apocn_, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-configure-ubuntu-fedora-linux-pptp-client.html for the vpn connection try this? | 01:12 |
| ckin2001 | apocn_, yes, there were plugins i installed. check network manager packages in synaptic | 01:12 |
| apocn_ | ckin2001: ok, thanks | 01:13 |

| fourier__ | hi everyone i had an ssh question:can i overide openssh host authentication ?(i have already read the manual page and googled quite a bit...) | 01:13 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | apocn_ your welcome | 01:13 |
| ivan | is spamassassin the prefered solution for multiuser filtering? | 01:14 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | fourier__, do you mean use ssh without passwords? yes if so | 01:14 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | ivan, it uses heavy cpu | 01:14 |
| Shpoo1 | bucky100: hit Alt-F2, and type in "gnome-panel" | 01:14 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | ivan, i use google enterprise for mail and they filter all spam and its free? how can one go wrong | 01:14 |
| ivan | jason_ubuntuislo: i've got 4, so cpu isn't a prob, but false positives are | 01:14 |
| hdevalence | I'm writing a letter to my MP. what's a good description of opensource/freesoftware that's persuasive but not technical? | 01:14 |
| ivan | i can't outsource to google | 01:14 |
| TheZealot | how do I switch between channels in weechat? | 01:15 |

| fourier__ | Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? " | 01:15 |
| ivan | stop generating new ssh server keys? | 01:15 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | fourier__, use pastebin.org to post or u flood the channel | 01:15 |
| fourier__ | sorry | 01:15 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | fourier__, that only comes up once though | 01:15 |
| ckin2001 | fourier__, you add the key to your known keys in the .ssh directory in your /home | 01:15 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | fourier__, the ssh client adds to known hosts file under .ssh under your home directory | 01:16 |

| svladcjelli | fourier__: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1806 | 01:17 |
| svladcjelli | tells you how to disable strict checking etc | 01:18 |
| hdevalence | it's about drm circumvention | 01:18 |
| fourier__ | thanks | 01:18 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | svladcjelli, nice | 01:18 |
| svladcjelli | but that renders ssh basically insecure | 01:18 |

| xzased | Hiya boys. Anyone knows how to adjust the brightness on a laptop? Im using xubuntu | 01:19 |
| JordiGH | I think I've asked before, but I've forgotten. Is there a way to have a Windows user easily (easily relative to most of Windows) and securely encrypt some files and send them to me in such a way that I can decrypt them with the software available in Ubuntu? | 01:19 |
| JordiGH | Assume that we have a perfectly secure medium to exchange a small amount of information (e.g. a password) | 01:19 |
| svladcjelli | JordiGH: look into gpg | 01:19 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | xzased, cant you use the buttons on the keyboard? or are you on battery power? | 01:19 |
| fourier__ | i might soun catshy but its the most common way off parellel computing.... | 01:19 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | fourier__, cool | 01:19 |
| hdevalence | xzased: try looking in the power manager. should be a little power icon down somewhere | 01:19 |
| lockd | hdevalence: well, DVD for instance must use DRM circumvention on Linux (and probably others), or you simply can't play it | 01:19 |

| simplechat | JordiGH, that is not secure. nowhere near secure. You can do it with scp and gpg. | 01:20 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | hdevalence, what is gov.t | 01:20 |
| simplechat | but it isn't what you want to do | 01:20 |
| svladcjelli | Dassouki: I would use fdisk be4hand and then just choose the right partitions in installer | 01:20 |
| hdevalence | government | 01:21 |
| svladcjelli | for encryption of files, gpg, for email, enigmail | 01:21 |
| svladcjelli | and everyone should use it as much as possible | 01:21 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Dassouki, I use gpart live cd | 01:21 |
| hdevalence | Canada's getting a new copyright law. AKA conservative government sells out to **AA | 01:21 |
| xzased | its a toshiba a105 | 01:21 |
| fourier__ | i might be using the terms wrong... what i meant is a live cd tha will provide mpi capabilities for all pcs booted in the same cd in a particular lan.... | 01:21 |
| xzased | with the fn key | 01:21 |
| hdevalence | so I'm writing a letter | 01:21 |

| hdevalence | so f-oss is kinda tangential. | 01:22 |
| Dassouki | jason_ubuntuislo, yaa . svladcjelli, ya i will try that i was tryign to take the easy way out IndyGunFreak i'll try that right now actually, that soudns great ... | 01:22 |

| DG19075 | I've just used the Ubuntu i386 DVD.iso here with no probs | 01:23 |
| Ryuki | I have a question | 01:23 |
| SonicChao | hdevalence, there are illegitimate uses? ;D | 01:23 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki what is it? | 01:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | !ask | Ryuki | 01:23 |
| ubotu | Ryuki: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 01:23 |
| kitche | Ryuki: well we have no anwser unless of course you ask your question | 01:23 |
| * IndyGunFreak reads Ryuki 's mind.. | 01:24 | |
| hdevalence | so i don't want to go into way detail about why f/oss is good, but i don't want them to be 'why use vlc when you could use wmp? it's free after all...' | 01:24 |
| hdevalence | etc.. | 01:24 |
| JordiGH | simplechat: One thing I don't understand. gpg4win seems to be for encryping emails. Can I easily encrypt and decrypt individual files? Like I said, the actual exchange will be over sneakernet. | 01:24 |
| Ryuki | ok. I had a problem, I know this is not related to Ubuntu, but I used Damn Small Linux and I have a unmountable drive, how do I fix it? I have Ubuntu Live CDs. | 01:24 |
| jimmious | how can I make my x1900xt card work well in ubuntu? currently im using vesa drivers and have only 800x600 resolution | 01:24 |
| lockd | hdevalence: chances are this letter will not be read at all | 01:24 |
| xLE | !readline | 01:24 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about readline - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:24 |
| xzased | hmm .where is the power management? | 01:24 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki cant you use mount command | 01:25 |
| hdevalence | lockd: actually, it's a letter to my MP, so i think there's a good chance | 01:25 |
| Ryuki | tried that. | 01:25 |
| Ryuki | wait. | 01:25 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | xLE, what are you needing for readline? | 01:25 |
| SonicChao | IndyGunFreak, error: /ryuki/mind not found | 01:25 |
| SonicChao | ;D | 01:25 |
| Ryuki | what is the default name for a harddrive? | 01:25 |
| hdevalence | lockd: if it were a letter to the prime minister , yeah | 01:25 |
| xLE | libreadline.so.4 | 01:25 |
| sunogbaga | Ryuki: fdisk -l | 01:25 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki yes use fdisk -l | 01:26 |
| Ryuki | I can try. | 01:26 |
| Ryuki | wait | 01:26 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | xLE | 01:26 |
| Ryuki | I forgot to tell you. | 01:26 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | xLE one sec | 01:26 |
| Ryuki | it won't let me boot in Linux | 01:26 |
| Ryuki | what should I do? | 01:26 |
| simplechat | JordiGH, i haven't touched windows in years, so thats just something i remembered using. you could try pgp possibly, if your just doing an encrypted data store. | 01:26 |
| xLE | okay. | 01:26 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki thats many possibilites for that? | 01:26 |
| sunogbaga | Ryuki: youre sure you don't have a bad harddrive? | 01:26 |
| Ryuki | It's old and it failed lol | 01:27 |
| Ryuki | but It still works | 01:27 |
| Ryuki | I installed it | 01:27 |
| Ryuki | and it works | 01:27 |
| SonicChao | Ryuki, #damnsmalllinux | 01:27 |
| Ryuki | but I knew I need a new harddrive because it had bad sectors. | 01:27 |
| Pici | Ryuki: Are you running DSL right now? | 01:27 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | xLE, try searching for libreadline* | 01:28 |
| Ryuki | No. | 01:28 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | sudo aptitude search libread* | 01:28 |
| xLE | i have installed that package. | 01:28 |
| xLE | how do I remove a package? | 01:28 |
| Ryuki | I am using the other computer that have Windows XP home Edition, it sucked. | 01:28 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | xLE, sudo apt-get remove | 01:28 |
| JordiGH | simplechat: gpg can interact with gpg, right? | 01:28 |
| JordiGH | Er, with pgp, right? | 01:28 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | xLE, then specify the name of the package | 01:28 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | xLE, does that help? | 01:29 |
| Ryuki | But I tried Ubuntu and loved it. | 01:29 |
| Ryuki | but I need a better computer for it. | 01:29 |
| Pici | Ryuki: I'm trying to say that this is the Ubuntu support channel and we can't help you with DSL. | 01:29 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki, are you trying better resources try xubuntu | 01:29 |
| Ryuki | I know. | 01:29 |
| Neodudeman | hullo ubuntu; I have a question: is there anyway I can access the network manager or the GDM manager from a terminal? I just recently got fluxbox, and now can't get back to gnome because the GDM theme i got doesn't have a session changer, for some reason. | 01:29 |
| Ryuki | sorry. | 01:29 |
| xzased | Found the answer for brightness: xgamma -gamma x.x | 01:29 |
| vtheree | anyone able to answer a quick question | 01:29 |
| simplechat | JordiGH, i don't know, google? what exactly do you need to do. are you encrypting for transit? or what? | 01:29 |
| xLE | i'll remove a 64bit package, and install a different one and try that. | 01:29 |
| Ryuki | Hm. | 01:29 |
| Ryuki | okay. | 01:29 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Neodudeman, try NetworkManager | 01:29 |
| qwaz | can multiple cron jobs be scheduled for the exact same time? | 01:30 |
| micah | need to get flash player installed | 01:30 |
| Ryuki | But how do I burn Xubuntu in correct way? | 01:30 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Neodudeman, that will start the network manager program | 01:30 |
| kitche | Neodudeman: it probably uses xdm just sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 01:30 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | xLE, good luck | 01:30 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki, what do you mean? burn a specific way??? | 01:30 |
| Ryuki | I burned Xubuntu in all different speed | 01:30 |
| Ryuki | it won't work | 01:31 |
| Ryuki | I think I did something wrong. | 01:31 |
| TheZealot | [splith] | 01:31 |
| Neodudeman | @jason_ubuntuislo: doh. I didn't capitalize the N or M when i tried that command before. lol thanks | 01:31 |
| qwaz | can multiple cron jobs be scheduled for the exact same time? | 01:31 |

| mikefoo | mneptok: doing that only didn't get mine working I have to download from adobe also! | 01:32 |
| kantlivelong | does it work on normal useR | 01:32 |
| kantlivelong | ? | 01:32 |
| kitche | mneptok: yeah read the topic :) | 01:32 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | kandinski, it comes with ubuntu | 01:32 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | kandinski, but try sudo before running command | 01:32 |
| simplechat | JordiGH, how big, roughtly? | 01:33 |
| sunogbaga | mneptok: last time i checked this package is broken,, flashplugin-nonfree i mean | 01:33 |
| JordiGH | simplechat: several gigs of homemade pr0n. | 01:33 |
| mneptok | ugh ... what MOTU broke it. grrrr | 01:33 |
| mikefoo | sunogbaga: it is | 01:33 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | micah, ive gotten rid of 64bit its not faster its much slower on my laptop and too many issues for programs for me | 01:33 |
| kitche | mneptok: adobe broke it :) they changed the tar package | 01:33 |
| sunogbaga | mikefoo: thnx | 01:33 |
| mneptok | micah: there is no Flash 9 for x86-64 | 01:33 |
| Ryuki | <jason_ubuntuislo> Ryuki really interesting ive never run into that problem? is it possible you can try it on a windows box <-- what wwindows box? | 01:34 |
| micah | can i run the 32 bit version on my comp | 01:34 |
| simplechat | JordiGH, ah. nice. uh, use winrar to make one large archive and use its inbuilt password protection with a large strong password | 01:34 |
| Ryuki | you mean here? | 01:34 |
| kantlivelong | lspci isnt working | 01:34 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki lol well i assumed you had access? | 01:34 |
| kitche | !flash64 | micah this should tell you | 01:34 |
| ubotu | micah this should tell you: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 01:34 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | micah, sure you can | 01:34 |
| simplechat | (well, make one archive, then make a passworded archive of that archive.) | 01:34 |
| Ryuki | how? | 01:34 |
| JordiGH | simplechat: And can I unrar with Ubuntu's free unrar? | 01:34 |
| kitche | micah: should even tell you how to install it from adobe site as well if you wanted | 01:34 |
| Ryuki | you say windows box | 01:34 |
| Ryuki | which one? | 01:34 |
| matthew4 | hi, i | 01:34 |
| simplechat | JordiGH, winzip's pswd protection is broken, winrars is still strong, iirc. | 01:34 |
| simplechat | JordiGH, yeah | 01:34 |
| simplechat | JordiGH, just give us a torrent? :) | 01:34 |
| micah | ok brb | 01:35 |
| JordiGH | simplechat: You wish. That's why I want encryption in the first place. ;-) | 01:35 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki no i meant your box to burn it at home? how are you burning it with what program | 01:35 |
| matthew4 | how do you create a ssh alias? so that instead of typing ssh user@host everytime i can just type ssh desktop | 01:35 |
| simplechat | JordiGH, lol, kk :) | 01:35 |
| Ryuki | I tried Nero, MagiccISO | 01:35 |
| Ryuki | all burning programs | 01:35 |
| Ryuki | they don't do what I want. | 01:35 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, you can set in /etc/hosts | 01:35 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki, arent they windows programs? | 01:36 |
| Ryuki | Yes. | 01:36 |
| matthew4 | jason_ubuntuislo: on which computer? | 01:36 |
| mneptok | Ryuki: did you md5sum the .iso you downloaded? | 01:36 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki, on windows i used imageburn | 01:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ryuki: isorecorder freeware for windows | 01:36 |
| Ryuki | Umm.. no? | 01:36 |
| mneptok | matthew4: use a shell alias | 01:36 |
| Ryuki | But I will when I build my own new computer | 01:36 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki yes imageburn checks and verifies after burn but so does nero too | 01:36 |
| Ryuki | cool. | 01:36 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, yours | 01:37 |
| JordiGH | simplechat: Kay, thanks for the idea. | 01:37 |
| Ryuki | ok | 01:37 |
| kitche | mneptok: will ssh support alias or do you mean just alias ssh user@host so he just has to type desktop? | 01:37 |
| Ryuki | Now I have to find a good ISO | 01:37 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, you use like this command sudo gedit /etc/hosts | 01:37 |
| LimCore | which FS rulez for flash? | 01:37 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki did you use bittorrent | 01:37 |
| mneptok | kitche: alias desktop='ssh user@host' | 01:37 |
| Ryuki | yes | 01:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jason_ubuntuislo: gksudo for gui apps// please | 01:37 |
| Ryuki | utorrent is best | 01:37 |
| Ryuki | :) | 01:37 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Ryuki i had issue on that when downloading i got bad burned iso's too | 01:38 |
| Ryuki | AH! | 01:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jason_ubuntuislo: sudo for apps like gedit will come back to bite you | 01:38 |
| etfb | Ryuki: did you get uTorrent working in Ubuntu? | 01:38 |
| kitche | mneptok: yeah I was thinking of that to but alas I don't know bash that much :) | 01:38 |
| Ryuki | the garbe code thingy on your screen? | 01:38 |
| * Ryuki shrugs | 01:38 | |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Jack_Sparrow, i figured he would like it easier then vim | 01:38 |
| mneptok | kitche: neither do i. i use zsh. it's 2007, after all. ;) | 01:38 |
| Ryuki | garbage* | 01:38 |
| Ryuki | I need xubuntu ISO | 01:38 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Jack_Sparrow, ohh you mean for permissions yes | 01:38 |
| * nickrud sniffs at youth | 01:38 | |
| micah | didnt work | 01:38 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, use gksudo gedit /etc/hosts and add your host there | 01:39 |
| micah | kept going right back to desktop | 01:39 |
| warriorforgod | I am having trouble installing the nvidia beta driver. Log file is located at http://rafb.net/p/rcZ6eh88.html Any help is appreciated. | 01:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jason_ubuntuislo: <jason_ubuntuislo> matthew4, you use like this command sudo gedit /etc/hosts is a bad suggestion | 01:39 |
| mneptok | jason_ubuntuislo: sudo cannot be used mith GUI appsd | 01:39 |
| mneptok | -d | 01:39 |
| matthew4 | how do you use /etc/hosts ? i can' | 01:39 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | mneptok, yes my bad | 01:39 |
| mneptok | matthew4: use a shell alias | 01:39 |
| matthew4 | i can't find any examples that uses the @ symbol | 01:39 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | mneptok, i use vi | 01:39 |
| mneptok | matthew4: do NOT ediut /etc/hosts | 01:39 |
| matthew4 | mneptok: don't want to do it that way | 01:39 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | mneptok, we use /etc/hosts for at work then you can add many hosts names | 01:40 |
| mneptok | matthew4: editing /etc/hosts is not the best approach | 01:40 |
| hvgotcodes | hi how do i remove all packages installed from a particular repo? | 01:40 |
| Ryuki | I'm searching the torrent for Xubuntu now. | 01:40 |
| mneptok | jason_ubuntuislo: trust me, i know what /etc/hosts does ;) | 01:40 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, yes i can help you edit it though | 01:40 |
| etfb | menptok: what do you suggest instead? | 01:40 |
| mneptok | etfb: a shell alias | 01:40 |
| matthew4 | mneptok: ok, give me a recommendation that doesn't involve shell aliases. i want this to be universal. | 01:40 |
| Ryuki | found it | 01:40 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, mneptok is right shell alias is better since most users only need one alias | 01:41 |
| mneptok | matthew4: "universal?" | 01:41 |
| etfb | mneptok: ah, I came into this conversation late; I guess your answer doesn't apply to the thing I was thinking of. Never mind | 01:41 |
| mneptok | matthew4: what does that mean? | 01:41 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, well what is it shell alias wont do for you?> | 01:41 |
| nickrud | hvgotcodes, in sytem-admin-synaptic, press the origin button | 01:41 |
| mneptok | matthew4: you want it to work for all users on the system? | 01:41 |
| matthew4 | mneptok: meaning a file that belongs to ssh, not a file that is dependent on which shell I happen to be using at the time | 01:41 |
| CokeNCode | ok, i just plugged in a new logitech mouse, how do i get ubuntu to recognise the buttons correctly | 01:42 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, if your comfortable you can look at "man hosts" | 01:42 |
| lgc | ikonia, the problem with the SMP issue is solved now, thanks. But there's another issue with googleearth. According to apt-get it is installed, but there's no entry on the menu and it won't start from the CLI either. Any ideas? Thanks. | 01:42 |
| CokeNCode | basically reinstall the mouse | 01:42 |
| CokeNCode | need some help here | 01:42 |
| dor0 | hello guys, i have ubuntu installed, any way to get KDE working instead gnome without install kubuntu? | 01:42 |
| etfb | CokeNCode: I generally have no trouble just plugging in mice. What are your symptoms? | 01:42 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | dor0, you can install kde-desktop | 01:42 |
| matthew4 | jason_ubuntuislo: done it, they give no examples that includes the user@host which is how i SSH in | 01:42 |
| nickrud | dor0, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 01:42 |
| etfb | dor0: install the kde-desktop package, but it can be flakey at times | 01:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dor0: just install the other wm... | 01:43 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, you can create a bash file? | 01:43 |
| BB88 | I have 7Zip installed, but how can I run it? | 01:43 |
| kitche | matthew4: umm then you are stuck using /etc/hosts and you don't put user@host in the hosts file at all you put ip then host but myself I just use shell scripts :) | 01:43 |
| mneptok | matthew4: sudo echo alias desktop='ssh user@desktop' >> /etc/profile | 01:43 |
| Ryuki | downloading the torrent | 01:43 |
| Ryuki | :) | 01:43 |
| mneptok | matthew4: there you go | 01:43 |
| dor0 | and how to tell ubuntu to load my KDE desktop at boot instead gnome? | 01:43 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, what is it your trying to do? | 01:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dor0: under sessions when you login | 01:44 |
| nickrud | dor0, choose it under options -> sessions on login | 01:44 |
| etfb | dor0: there's a session menu that defaults to your last choice | 01:44 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | dor0, once kde is installed the main screen at GDM you have an option to change session | 01:44 |
| * jason_ubuntuislo holy cow look at the support on this channel | 01:44 | |
| matthew4 | mneptok: not the approach i was looking for, thanks anyways | 01:44 |
| dor0 | nice thanks | 01:44 |
| ubuntu_ | need help with gparted | 01:44 |
| gladier | CokeNCode - what sort of mouse? | 01:44 |

| jason_ubuntuislo | ubotu, whats wrong? please explain? | 01:44 |
| === eljo__ is now known as eljo | ||
| mneptok | matthew4: that's the approach that is recommended. editing your hosts file is not. | 01:45 |
| CokeNCode | well, it's a roller ball kinda thing actually | 01:45 |
| hvgotcodes | nickrud: to confirm what i am seeing, for the origin i am seeing all packages, installed and not installed? | 01:45 |
| CokeNCode | where u move the ball with ur thumb | 01:45 |
| CokeNCode | gladier, any suggestions ? | 01:45 |
| kitche | jason_ubuntuislo: like talking to a bot that won't respone :P | 01:45 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, editing hosts is not for the faint hearted but i use it since i do networking too | 01:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 01:45 |
| underdawg | i immediately get connection refused when I try to ssh/vnc into a computer on my lan, what should I check? | 01:45 |
| etfb | CokeNCode: is it new hardware or fairly old? | 01:45 |
| gladier | CokeNCode model? and usb/ps2? | 01:45 |
| * jason_ubuntuislo hahhaha | 01:45 | |
| mneptok | CokeNCode: i use one | 01:45 |
| matthew4 | jason_ubuntuislo: how do you add the user to the /etc/hosts? | 01:45 |
| CokeNCode | etfb, kinda oldish | 01:46 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | kitche what how did you know that was a bot? | 01:46 |
| CokeNCode | ps2 | 01:46 |
| mneptok | CokeNCode: Trackman Marble? | 01:46 |
| lgc | Anyone had issues installing Googleearth? | 01:46 |
| nickrud | hvgotcodes, yes, for each component | 01:46 |
| shootz | can i install win ofc in ubuntu? | 01:46 |
| CokeNCode | mneptok, that's it ! | 01:46 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, you cant do that you can only add hosts to ip in etc hosts | 01:46 |
| ubuntu_ | cant format linux-swamp partition with gparted, running from live cd | 01:46 |
| mneptok | CokeNCode: what doesn't work? | 01:46 |
| CokeNCode | jeeze, i'm giving some really bad information here, sorry guys | 01:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lgc: whats the prob | 01:46 |
| kitche | !bot | jason_ubuntuislo | 01:46 |
| ubotu | jason_ubuntuislo: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 01:46 |
| CokeNCode | mneptok, the buttons | 01:46 |
| underdawg | sigh | 01:46 |
| shootz | can i install microsoft ofc in ubuntu? | 01:46 |
| etfb | shootz: doesn't work very well. I recommend Open Office instead. | 01:46 |
| * mneptok 's Marble works splendidly | 01:46 | |
| CokeNCode | it's basically only using one button right now | 01:46 |
| mneptok | CokeNCode: any of them? | 01:46 |
| CokeNCode | the one furthest to the right | 01:46 |
| shootz | oh ok etfb | 01:46 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | kitche i guess i was bored? | 01:46 |
| CokeNCode | so, if i select the right handed option | 01:47 |
| CokeNCode | i can left click | 01:47 |
| warriorforgod | shootz: Yes with wine | 01:47 |
| hvgotcodes | ok -- and i was told to remove all software from 3rd party repors (like compiz and e17) and those repos entries from sources before upgrading from feisty to gutsy | 01:47 |
| mneptok | CokeNCode: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:47 |
| hvgotcodes | is that good advice? | 01:47 |
| CokeNCode | and if i select the left handed option, i can right click | 01:47 |
| etfb | shootz: be aware: it takes some getting used to, but it's pretty good. Worth the time. | 01:47 |
| nickrud | hvgotcodes, excellent advice you got | 01:47 |
| ubuntu_ | cant format linux-swamp partition with gparted, running from live cd | 01:47 |
| mneptok | CokeNCode: do NOT emulate a three button mouse when asked | 01:47 |
| lgc | Jack_Sparrow, according to Synaptics, it is installed, but I can't make it work. Even when I reinstalled it, it only downloaded 65 KB (!!). | 01:47 |
| BB88 | I have 7-Zip installed. How can I run this program? | 01:47 |
| shootz | thanks... gonna try that | 01:47 |
| [reed] | so, if bulletproof-x always causes me to use xorg.conf.failsafe, how am I ever going to debug my Xorg problems? | 01:47 |
| * mneptok tootles off for food | 01:47 | |
| jason_ubuntuislo | ubuntu_ what is the error your getting | 01:47 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | ubuntu_, you should change your name its close to a bot name | 01:48 |
| kitche | BB88: p7zip I believe is the command for it been a while sicne I ran 7zip *nix version | 01:48 |
| matthew4 | jason_ubuntuislo: then it seems like i can't do what i want to do, which is type ssh desktop and login to my remote computer. this bites | 01:48 |
| CokeNCode | mneptok, how do i keep my other settings | 01:48 |
| CokeNCode | i don't wanna change anything else | 01:48 |
| CokeNCode | :S | 01:48 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, you can just make a shell script you want me to show you how? | 01:48 |
| nickrud | hvgotcodes, remove the sources from your list, update, then look under status, installed (local or obsolete), that's a good shortcut for what you are doing | 01:48 |
| BB88 | kitche: How would I browse to the "executable" file and add it to my main panel? | 01:48 |
| CokeNCode | mneptok, will pressing esc for everything else | 01:49 |
| matthew4 | jason_ubuntuislo: i know how to make bash scripts, that's not the approach i want though. i don't want to add a file that doesn't already exist on my computer | 01:49 |
| CokeNCode | keep my settings as they are ? | 01:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lgc: when I did mine it wasnt in the repos. here is how I installed it.. hope it helps in some way.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48161/ | 01:49 |
| === shootz is now known as xxx_ | ||
| kitche | BB88: huh 7zip is a command line program in *nix | 01:49 |
| etfb | Having trouble with knetworkmanager: it won't automatically connect to my wireless access point. Worked fine in 7.04, not working in Gutsy. Any clues? | 01:49 |
| hvgotcodes | nickrud: so remove the sources from the list and that udpate, and that will remove all the extra softwarez? | 01:49 |
| CokeNCode | mneptok, which mouse port should i choose ? | 01:49 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | http://pastebin.org/11540 | 01:49 |
| CokeNCode | /dev/input/mice ? | 01:49 |
| etfb | CokeNCode: did for me. It's pretty safe. | 01:49 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, look at that it is how you can use what you asked | 01:50 |
| BB88 | BB88: *nix as in Terminal? | 01:50 |
| CokeNCode | it's ps2 | 01:50 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, if im missing something let me try to help you | 01:50 |
| mneptok | CokeNCode: /dev/input/mice | 01:50 |
| nickrud | hvgotcodes, doing that will orphan them, not remove them. synaptic will sort the orphaned ones into that status section for easy removal | 01:50 |
| CokeNCode | ImPS/2 | 01:50 |
| mneptok | yup | 01:50 |
| CokeNCode | or ExplorerPS/2 ? | 01:50 |
| mneptok | IM | 01:50 |
| kitche | BB88: *nix as in operating system like linux Unix BSD | 01:50 |
| underdawg | how do i kill all vnc sessions? | 01:50 |
| CokeNCode | how the heck would i know which protocol my mouse is using :S | 01:51 |
| === [DnH]`Lapinou`sn is now known as d3sty | ||
| jason_ubuntuislo | underdawg, you can do ps aux to see its PID # | 01:51 |
| matthew4 | jason_ubuntuislo: it seems like the linux guys would have already thought of this and built a way in. i can't be the first person who got tired of writing | 01:51 |
| mneptok | CokeNCode: it comes to you in a lucid dream | 01:51 |
| BB88 | kitche: I am just assuming 7-Zip in Linux is the same as 7-Zip on Windows? | 01:51 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | underdawg, then do a sudo kill -9 PID# | 01:51 |
| matthew4 | usename at symbol and long IP addrss... | 01:51 |
| nickrud | underdawg, killall vnc<tab> I think would be a quick method | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CokeNCode: I use a logitec trackball and I use explorerPS-2 | 01:51 |
| CokeNCode | mneptok, i only remember my nightmares ... although, I guess that would make sense | 01:51 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, well i think your looking to do what? a inline param? | 01:51 |
| === Varka_ is now known as Varka | ||
| kitche | BB88: well it is but you need to run it in Terminal since it's p7zip think there is a gui frontend to it as well | 01:51 |
| CokeNCode | thanks Jack_Sparrow | 01:51 |
| mneptok | matthew4: they did think of it. they created shell aliases. | 01:51 |
| CokeNCode | so why shouldn't i emulate 3-button mouse again ? | 01:52 |
| hvgotcodes | hmm how to remove a source? | 01:52 |
| mneptok | matthew4: feel free to re-invent the wheel, though ;) | 01:52 |
| hdevalence | how do I get my computer to use more ram? | 01:52 |
| CokeNCode | in fact | 01:52 |
| CokeNCode | i won't ask questions | 01:52 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, matt you know you can make a dynamic script for passing it info | 01:52 |
| CokeNCode | i'll just follow instructions | 01:52 |
| CokeNCode | it is a 3 button mouse tho | 01:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np.. hope it helps.. it just worked.. let me know if you need to see my xorg | 01:52 |
| BB88 | kitche: Yes I am looking for the frontend, I have installed it through sudo via terminal, and depos. | 01:52 |
| mneptok | CokeNCode: that's a good soldier! | 01:52 |
| ubuntu_ | cant format linux-swamp partition with gparted, running from live cd | 01:52 |
| matthew4 | mneptok: that's not a good method though. there are dozens of shells. i don't want to edit dozens of config files. | 01:52 |
| etfb | CokeNCode: emulating 3-btn mice just translates simultaneous left+right click as a middle click | 01:52 |
| buttercups | BB88, If you want to use 7-zip in file roller install p7zip-full | 01:52 |
| mneptok | matthew4: i told how to do it | 01:52 |
| mneptok | matthew4: sudo echo alias desktop='ssh user@desktop' >> /etc/profile | 01:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu_: it can create one. dont think it actually formatted it though | 01:53 |
| CokeNCode | oh, ok | 01:53 |
| CokeNCode | hmmm | 01:53 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, can you paste a few examples to pastebin for me? i want to see what your doing | 01:53 |
| CokeNCode | nothing changed | 01:53 |
| CokeNCode | mouse still screwy | 01:53 |
| CokeNCode | is there a final step here ? | 01:53 |
| mneptok | CokeNCode: ensure the mouse is not physically broken? | 01:53 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | ubuntu_, yes you can format also with fdisk ? why do you need to format it? | 01:53 |
| matthew4 | mneptok: ? this will work with all shells, even those I don't have installed currently? all shells use this /etc/profile file? will this also work with all users on my computer (current and future)? | 01:54 |
| CokeNCode | mneptok, nawww | 01:54 |
| mneptok | CokeNCode: does it work perfectly in another OS or system? | 01:54 |
| CokeNCode | Jack_Sparrow, i think i might need to take a peak at the config file of yours my friend | 01:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CokeNCode: sorry, I was not following along.. I told mine to emulate 3 button and selected explorer over the other option | 01:54 |
| CokeNCode | time to get down n dirty | 01:54 |
| etfb | Ah! there's a #kubuntu channel! I'll ask there. Shiny. | 01:54 |
| mneptok | matthew4: correct. all login shells source /etc/profile for all users. | 01:54 |
| lgc | Jack_Sparrow, I downloaded it from the repo on my machine. And when I cloned the install on this one, it just seems not to be there (although Synaptic disagrees). | 01:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CokeNCode: let me post it | 01:54 |
| CokeNCode | k | 01:54 |
| macogw | hey who was around the other day when LimCore was asking how to make sudo ask for root password instead of the user's password? the answer turns out to be in the sudoers manpage | 01:54 |
| ubuntu_ | want to because i cant acces if from winxp | 01:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lgc: of you got it yourself.. look at the page I linked | 01:55 |
| BB88 | buttercups: What do you mean, sorry? I have used 'sudo apt-get install p7zip-full' but it says I have it already installed (assuming via depos). | 01:55 |
| nickrud | macogw, what section? | 01:55 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | mneptok, ive never used /etc/profile except for oracle is this what its for? | 01:55 |
| macogw | nickrud: Defaults. you add "rootpw" | 01:55 |
| matthew4 | mneptok, jason_ubuntuislo: ok thanks to you both, i will try the /etc/profile method, but i hope i never have to edit one of these config files again, i hate repeating set-up stuff. thanks to you both. | 01:55 |
| eko_hermiyanto | hello, good morning | 01:55 |
| lgc | I did... you did a manual install. I've gotten too lazy for such things, after apt. Only when there's no other choice... | 01:55 |
| macogw | nickrud: er, well the "sudoers options" section of the manpage. you put "rootpw" in the defaults section though | 01:56 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, your welcome | 01:56 |
| eko_hermiyanto | is there any emulator which able to run MAC OS X application on top of Ubuntu? | 01:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CokeNCode: here is mine http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48162/ | 01:56 |
| bruenig | eko_hermiyanto, no | 01:56 |
| CokeNCode | thanks buddy | 01:56 |
| nickrud | macogw, just found it, thanks. Good to know | 01:56 |
| * jason_ubuntuislo gezz even my boss isnt that picky? | 01:56 | |
| eko_hermiyanto | bruenig, ohhhh my bad day :( | 01:56 |
| kitche | matthew4: /etc/profile is for sh shells | 01:56 |
| eko_hermiyanto | I need adobe flash cs3 badly for my work | 01:56 |
| bruenig | eko_hermiyanto, use windows | 01:57 |
| lgc | Jack_Sparrow, gotta go now. Thanks for your help. | 01:57 |
| macogw | nickrud: there's also an option to make it ask for the pw of whomever you're sudo-ing as (since you can sudo as someone other than root too) | 01:57 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | eko_hermiyanto, theres a howto to use wine but its not that great | 01:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np welcome to ubuntu | 01:57 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | eko_hermiyanto, if you find a better way let me know | 01:57 |
| kitche | macogw: if you sudo as root there is no point of using sudo then :) | 01:57 |
| nickrud | macogw, yes, targetpw, reading the man page again for a while | 01:57 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | eko_hermiyanto, theres also a way to make gimp look sorta like photoshop research gimpshop | 01:57 |
| etfb | eko_hermiyanto: have you considered running VMWare Server (which is free-as-in-beer) and installing Windows as a virtual machine? It's slow, but it's better than nothing | 01:58 |
| BB88 | Jack_Sparrow: I got it working in the end. | 01:58 |
| samstern | Hi I'm new to ubuntu and found a circular package reference (a broken package). where dos this get reported to (at)? | 01:58 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | eko_hermiyanto, actually etfb is right and you can install 2X server and run it as an app on ubuntu i do this at work | 01:58 |
| eko_hermiyanto | jason_ubuntuislo, I am using Wine every day, and I think it's great piece of software. I am using wine to run software to view mdi files, remote administrator, respak, and triton, but alas, my flash is for mac :( | 01:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BB88: Glad to hear it.. | 01:58 |
| nickrud | kitche, there was a guy that had a use case that made some sense, like a lab where firefox pops up the install flash request, and the admin puts in the root passwd for the user | 01:58 |
| kitche | samstern: are you sure since not all repos are enabled by default | 01:58 |
| kitche | nickrud: so sort of like gksu | 01:59 |
| eko_hermiyanto | etfb, I am using qemu to run windows too and it works good(only the network system is not run yet) | 01:59 |
| macogw | kitche: no no, it forces regular users to know the root password to use sudo | 01:59 |
| nickrud | kitche, yes | 01:59 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | eko_hermiyanto, yes i agree but wine cannot do it for all win programs | 01:59 |
| BB88 | Jack_Sparrow: It was because my rip output file was the same name as the encode file, so it could not overwrite ;) | 01:59 |
| matthew4 | mneptok: your method did not work, says: bash: /etc/profile: Permission denied | 01:59 |
| samstern | Kitche: yes -- I've manualy enabled the server (or Iw ould never have enabled the libgd2 software afaik) | 01:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BB88: glad to hear it was something simple.. sorry we could not see that from here | 01:59 |
| macogw | kitche: so you avoid "su -" login, do stuff, "exit", do more as not-root | 01:59 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | eko_hermiyanto, vmware has a free version for vmware-server edition and it has great bridging features compared to virtualbox | 01:59 |
| nickrud | kitche, the solution was setting the gconf key for gksu , but the sudo one is worth knowing | 01:59 |
| kitche | macogw: I know just that it sounds kind of redundent to me | 01:59 |
| eko_hermiyanto | jason_ubuntuislo, yes, unless we copy native dll into wine :)) | 02:00 |
| samstern | kitche: but who knows? I'm new to ubuntu and its been a while since used debian based stuff | 02:00 |
| BB88 | Jack_Sparrow: Heh, my own fault, but I got there in the end. Thank you anyhow! | 02:00 |
| CokeNCode | ok | 02:00 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | eko_hermiyanto, i think i tried that once what did you use to track which dll's it was using | 02:00 |
| CokeNCode | copied the iinfo | 02:00 |
| eko_hermiyanto | jason_ubuntuislo, I think I should give vmware a try :D | 02:00 |
| CokeNCode | now to reboot | 02:00 |
| kitche | samstern: well there is three repos multiverse universe and main main is enabled by default | 02:00 |
| nubcake | good morning everyone | 02:00 |
| kitche | macogw: but I know what you mean since kde does it if it's setup correctly | 02:00 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | eko_hermiyanto, i use that and check out the free 2X program you want a link to that too? | 02:00 |
| samstern | kitche - where in the ux (or via cli) would I check whats enabled? | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BB88: np take care stop in any time.. It is a good place just to read along when you have time | 02:00 |
| tonyyarusso | kitche: four - restricted | 02:00 |
| tonyyarusso | kitche: In current releases, all 4 are enabled by default. | 02:01 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | http://www.2x.com/ | 02:01 |
| DG19075 | I've had prbs with Wine running Adobe Audition. The buttons don't look the same under Wine(configured to look like XP)as they do Windows | 02:01 |
| Neodudeman | ok, so fluxbox is stuck as my default session, and I can't seem to change it because my GDM theme doesn't have a session button; is there a way to change it from the terminal? | 02:01 |
| macogw | kitche: it could save time if you needed to switch between root and regular commands a lot i guess. it still seems silly to me to use root's pw there instead of your own overall, but the use case given was they didnt want the user to have permission to do anything at all, and so the admin would walk over if root access was needed | 02:01 |
| kitche | tonyyarusso: oh did not know that but I always thought restricted was part of multiverse | 02:01 |
| macogw | kitche: for gksu there's an option in gconf to use sudo mode or not, but i'm talking about command line sudo right now | 02:01 |
| eko_hermiyanto | jason_ubuntuislo, yes thanks bro | 02:01 |
| dor0 | OMG, my desktop cube is working!!!! | 02:01 |
| === iamtooawesome is now known as whoabadass | ||
| jason_ubuntuislo | your welcome eko_hermiyanto | 02:02 |
| === whoabadass is now known as iamtooawesome | ||
| tonyyarusso | kitche: Nope. Restricted is officially supported for Canonical support contracts, and is things like firmware, whereas multiverse is not supported and has a broader range of software in it. | 02:02 |
| nickrud | dor0, now, does suspend still work ;) | 02:02 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | hey ive got a question anyone know why dual monitors have so much trouble with nvidia drivers? | 02:02 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | brb | 02:02 |
| matthew4 | jason_ubuntuislo: any other ideas? i couldn't edit /etc/profile for some reason | 02:02 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm looking for a browser bookmarks sync service that will work with both Firefox and Epiphany - any recommendations? | 02:02 |
| macogw | tonyyarusso: del.icio.us? | 02:02 |
| macogw | tonyyarusso: or if you're an OpenID fan, ma.gnolia.com | 02:03 |
| nickrud | matthew4, sudo sh -c echo "alias desktop='ssh user@host' | 02:03 |
| ^KK^|irssi | hi | 02:03 |
| dor0 | mate, the only reason i boot in windows is to play some stupid games, i have ubuntu from 1 month, and i cant stop using it | 02:03 |
| Xacarith | I h ad trouble at first setting up my dual monitors because the nvidia tool couldn't right to the configuration file due to permitions. | 02:03 |
| samstern | kitche: I've checked "Software sources" and all boxes under 2rd party and cannocial software are checked | 02:03 |
| tonyyarusso | macogw: I'll look into those - not really familiar with how they work though | 02:03 |
| kitche | samstern: what software are you trying to install anyways | 02:03 |
| === iamtooawesome is now known as iamtooawesome_ | ||
| === pras__ is now known as SR71-Blackbird1 | ||
| nickrud | matthew4, erm, add a finishing " to that line | 02:04 |
| macogw | tonyyarusso: they store your bookmarks online so you can access them anywhere | 02:04 |
| === SR71-Blackbird1 is now known as SR71-Blackbird | ||
| samstern | kitche: those 3rd party are "partner", "PArtner source", "MEdia" and "Wine" (which I added, cant' live without wine!!) | 02:04 |
| tonyyarusso | macogw: How do they integrate with the browser itself? | 02:04 |
| nickrud | tonyyarusso, we use del.icio.us to share bookmarks at work, firefox has several extensions | 02:04 |
| macogw | tonyyarusso: ive never use magnolia, but delicious has a firefox extension | 02:05 |
| macogw | tonyyarusso: idk about epiphany extension, but they're also browser-based | 02:05 |
| nubcake | first of all.. please apologize my bad english, but would someone of you guys please be so kind and point me to the right direction to start with my network-problem? the situation is as follows: i removed the old mainboard from my ubuntu server (Gigabyte K8NS Ultra939 Nforce3 or 4 chipset) and replaced it with a socket 775 mainboard which chipset i dont really know.. and now my eth0 interface is gone.. (before i used the nforce nic) and now ls | 02:05 |

| tonyyarusso | nickrud, macogw: cool | 02:05 |
| Rockoman | What program can I use to make an MP3 cd on Ubuntu | 02:05 |
| matthew4 | nickrud: same thing. says bash: /etc/profile: Permission denied. | 02:05 |
| macogw | tonyyarusso: if you click to add it to your delicious from the ff extension, it pops up a little webpage and asks what you want to tag it and name it, and an optional description | 02:05 |
| tonyyarusso | !mp3 | Rockoman | 02:05 |

| Rockoman | I'm not looking for an MP3 player, but software to make an MP3 cd | 02:06 |
| samstern | blob2 "apt-get install bison-doc libgd-gd2-perl libgd2-xpm libgd2-xpm-dev libgdchart-gd2-xpm-dev libgdchart-gd2-xpm libgd-graph3d-perl libgd-tools libgdchart-gd2-xpm-dev" | 02:06 |
| nickrud | matthew4, then sudo nano /etc/profile , and add it to the bottom by hand. sudo echo is wierd, gotta use tee somewhere in the line and I never remember it right | 02:06 |
| hallo | hello | 02:06 |
| macogw | Rockoman: an mp3 cd is just a data cd | 02:06 |
| matthew4 | nickrud: ok, will try that | 02:06 |
| nubcake | hallo: hi | 02:06 |
| Rockoman | ohhh | 02:06 |
| Rockoman | duh | 02:06 |
| Rockoman | lol | 02:06 |
| lockd | Rockoman: with mp3s as the files | 02:06 |
| hallo | i cannot start kdeinit | 02:06 |
| Rockoman | thanks macog | 02:06 |
| kitche | samstern: just means that it's not going to install look though the repos and see if it's there or not | 02:06 |
| macogw | Rockoman: just use k3b or gnomebaker or whatever regular old cd burning app you want, and pick a bunch of mp3s | 02:06 |
| Rockoman | yeah i knew that | 02:06 |
| Rockoman | opps | 02:06 |
| nickrud | matthew4, you might want to set up a backup system, add /etc/profile to it for restoration | 02:06 |
| samstern | issue: I want XPM support but the libgdchart is erronisoly set to need the no xpm version of libgd2 | 02:06 |
| Rockoman | thanks | 02:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rockoman: I assumed you meant with mp3's as your source files | 02:07 |
| CokeNCode | ah well, no joy | 02:07 |
| neur1 | what's the server kernel or mode for? | 02:07 |
| samstern | so it's an exclusion problem the package should depend upon libgd2-xpm-dev not libgd2-noxpm-dev | 02:07 |
| CokeNCode | any other suggestions guys ? | 02:08 |

| SavageOne | can anyone help me w/ the rsync syntax? | 02:08 |
| nickrud | samstern, are you sure it depends on -no-xpm or only preferrs it? | 02:08 |
| matthew4 | nickrud: do i have to restart my computer for changes to take affect? | 02:08 |
| * emgent hi | 02:08 | |
| kitche | samstern: yes this is the channel might want to ask someone more informed of apt | 02:09 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | SavageOne, whats up i can help | 02:09 |
| samstern | how would I find that out -- look again at my apt-get line and the resulting error | 02:09 |
| nickrud | matthew4, no, either log out and back in or type in a terminal, source /etc/profile | 02:09 |
| SavageOne | jason: I just explained did you get all that? | 02:09 |
| etfb | matthew4: the general answer to the question "should I reboot" in Linux is no. In Windows it's "of course!" | 02:09 |
| matthew4 | etfb: well, it doesn't work, that's why i asked | 02:09 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | SavageOne, just change params in rsync to which host | 02:10 |
| neur1 | thanks, can I uncomment it so it doesnt show up in my list then cause I wont use it | 02:10 |
| SavageOne | can you give me an example of the syntax? | 02:10 |
| SavageOne | it works over ssh tunnel right? | 02:10 |
| kelsin | SavageOne: " | 02:10 |
| bmk789 | what does a "grub read error" mean? it just started after i switched my motherboard | 02:10 |
| kelsin | SavageOne: "man rsync" has a whole bunch | 02:10 |
| CokeNCode | oops | 02:10 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | SavageOne, yes it works over ssh | 02:10 |
| macogw | matthew4: usually the most you have to do is logout | 02:10 |
| etfb | matthew4: ah well, every rule has an exception (except this one) | 02:10 |
| SavageOne | kelsin: I'm there now ;) | 02:10 |
| CokeNCode | hmmm, | 02:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmk789: it means you changed or added a hard drive | 02:11 |
| CokeNCode | thanks a heap guys | 02:11 |
| SavageOne | just trying to figure this out I'm not so hot w/ ubuntu just yet | 02:11 |
| CokeNCode | problem ... resolved ... ish | 02:11 |

| jason_ubuntuislo | SavageOne, rsync *.html root@10.108.111.3:/tmp | 02:11 |
| etfb | CokeNCode: how did you fix it? dpkg-reconfig? | 02:11 |
| fabio | is any way to control windows with ubuntu????' | 02:11 |
| bmk789 | Jack_Sparrow: but ive reinstalled grub twice with no success | 02:11 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | SavageOne, or rsync root@10.108.111.3:/tmp/*.html /home/myname | 02:11 |
| kelsin | fabio: control windows as in remote desktop type of things? | 02:11 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | rsync works both ways | 02:12 |
| Cpudan80 | fabio: Define control | 02:12 |
| fabio | kelsin: like torjan | 02:12 |
| samstern | SavageOne: /usr/bin/time /usr/bin/rsync -az --delete-after --bwlimit=1500 --password-file=/root/mail.txt -e 'ssh -l root' root@mail.samstern.net::home/sam/.spamassassin/ /home/sam/.spamassassin/ 2>&1 >> /var/log/mail_sync.log | 02:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmk789: did you add a drive or edit any partition on that drive | 02:12 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | -avz holds all permission settings | 02:12 |
| bmk789 | Jack_Sparrow: no | 02:12 |
| Neodudeman | is there anyway to change GDM settings in terminal? | 02:12 |
| kelsin | fabio: you mean "take" control of a windows computer illegally? I would search other channels, not going to find anything here | 02:12 |
| hobbit_ | i have a netgear wg111 usb and if i bump it I lose internet connection. I then have to reboot to regain a connection. Is there anything in settings that can allow the device to connect after being unplugged and replugged w/o a reboot? | 02:12 |
| * nickrud thinks any command line more than 80 chars long needs a gui front end ;p | 02:12 | |
| SavageOne | let me ask you thishow do I run command in ssh mode and be able to close out of my ssh client and look at it again alter | 02:13 |
| fabio | cpudan80: TORJAN | 02:13 |
| xLE | jason_ubuntuislo, i had no such luck finding libreadline.so.4 in any of the packages. | 02:13 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Neodudeman, you mean to change default GDM manager settings? | 02:13 |
| Cpudan80 | fabio: what the hell is torjan ? | 02:13 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | xLE, what package you installin | 02:13 |
| vizzie | bah.. I do lots of fun things from the command line :) | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmk789: Is it in the same position as in sda1 or primary bus vs secondary bus etc | 02:13 |
| matthew4 | ok, so editing /etc/profile doesn't work for me. i type ssh desktop and it says ssh: Name or service not known | 02:13 |
| xLE | libreadline5. | 02:13 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Cpudan80, i think he means trojan | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmk789: are you dual booting? | 02:13 |
| Neodudeman | jason_ubuntuislo: oh hey. ya, if I could just default the GDM settings from terminal, that'd be great. | 02:13 |
| kelsin | matthew4: what are you trying to do? | 02:13 |
| nickrud | matthew4, no, all you should have to do is type desktop, the ssh is already part of the alias | 02:13 |
| fabio | lcpudan: its like an virus but controls victim computer | 02:14 |
| matthew4 | nickrud: i see, i don't want to type desktop though, i want to type ssh desktop | 02:14 |
| kelsin | matthew4: add "ip.address desktop" to your /etc/hosts file to get that, or listen to nickrud for the proper way to alias | 02:14 |
| bmk789 | Jack_Sparrow: nope, ubuntu only, how should i reconfigure grub to boot? | 02:14 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, didnt we cover this? | 02:14 |
| fabio | Kelsin. WHY NOT | 02:14 |
| Cpudan80 | fabio: OK - first of all - freenode doesn't support llegal activity -- therefore neither does ubuntu | 02:14 |
| CokeNCode | etfb, editing the xorg.conf file | 02:14 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Neodudeman, what settings you need changed? | 02:14 |
| kelsin | fabio: this is an ubuntu support channel, not an "i want to act like an idiot" channel | 02:14 |
| yassine | how can one create a tap device in ubuntu? | 02:14 |
| Cpudan80 | fabio: Second, learn to speak English - it's spelled *trojan* | 02:14 |
| Pici | !illegal | fabio | 02:14 |
| ubotu | fabio: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmk789: need to identify what caused the problem.. there is super grub repair CD... are you running a live cd on it now? | 02:14 |
| bmk789 | Jack_Sparrow: yes im on a kubuntu livecd now | 02:15 |
| neur1 | is gedit a program? | 02:15 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | yes | 02:15 |
| Pici | neur1: yes, for the gnome desktop. | 02:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | neur1: yes | 02:15 |
| nickrud | matthew4, lol, now you're being told to add to /etc/hosts again | 02:15 |
| kelsin | neur1: yes, the default gnome text editor | 02:15 |
| Neodudeman | jason_ubuntuislo: i need it to go back to either the default session of xclient, or the default theme human | 02:15 |
| * genii does some unfun things from the command line | 02:15 | |
| jason_ubuntuislo | matthew4, lol | 02:15 |
| matthew4 | nickrud: i know! but that already doesn't work. I've done this before, the way I want, and it worked. i just don't remember how | 02:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmk789: have you got the hard drive mounted? | 02:15 |
| K`zan | anyone know where cups stores remote printers, it is not in /etc/cups/printers.conf no matter what they say :-). Only thing there is my local printer... | 02:15 |
| bmk789 | Jack_Sparrow: yes | 02:16 |
| fabio | kelsin: lol | 02:16 |
| neur1 | i'm in xubuntu how do i edit files? | 02:16 |
| samstern | Kitche did you respond? I might have missed it int he flood -- how do I determine if the fault in installaing libgdgraph is a preferance or a bad referenace int eh .deb? | 02:16 |
| Cpudan80 | neur1: vim | 02:16 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | neur1, gedit or vim | 02:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmk789: I dont do kde... but from a term you should be able to do fdisk -l "L" is the last character | 02:16 |
| kitche | samstern: you just install the .deb and see why it's failing afterwards | 02:16 |
| mneptok | jason_ubuntuislo: there is no gedit in XFCE. | 02:16 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Neodudeman, hmm ok are you attempting to setup the default Gnome desktop from kde? | 02:16 |
| neur1 | so vim . . . file? | 02:16 |
| Cpudan80 | yep | 02:16 |
| matthew4 | nickrud: FYI, just typing desktop doesn't work either, says bash: desktop; command not found | 02:16 |
| kelsin | matthew4: there are three ways to do that, either run your own dns server (probably too much) edit your /etc/hosts file, or edit your ~/.ssh/config file to include a "Host desktop" section with a "Hostname" section beneath it, check "man ssh_config" for more info | 02:16 |
| Pici | neur1: or nano, its easier imho than vim | 02:17 |
| neur1 | thanks | 02:17 |
| bmk789 | Jack_Sparrow: ok, what do i need to get from that? | 02:17 |
| fabio | Cpudan80: is not inlegal you bastard | 02:17 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | neur1, im assuming you installed gedit | 02:17 |
| mneptok | jason_ubuntuislo: please be sure your advice will actually work before giving it | 02:17 |
| PriceChild | !ohmy | fabio | 02:17 |
| ubotu | fabio: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:17 |
| samstern | kitche thanks I'll pursue that; thanks. I need to go | 02:17 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | neur1, you can do sudo apt-get install gedit | 02:17 |
| tonyyarusso | nickrud, macogw: found it - epilicious, in care extensions | 02:17 |
| xLE | is there a way, so i don't always have to enter my password in for sudo? | 02:17 |
| neur1 | it says i don't have it as of now | 02:17 |
| nickrud | matthew4, listen to kelsin, he was kind to me when he said listen to me ;) | 02:17 |
| samstern | Kitche and TonyRusso: I apprecaite your help | 02:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmk789: can you put that in the pastebin .. not in the channel.. then post your boot/grub/menu.lst for us to | 02:17 |
| samstern | xLE: yes man sudoers | 02:17 |
| Cpudan80 | neur1: nano might be easier than vim -- it guides you along a bit more than vim does | 02:17 |
| matthew4 | kelsin: in the second method of editing .ssh/config, can Host include the user? | 02:17 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | mneptok, isnt this ubuntu channel? he should be in xubunu ? no? | 02:17 |
| kelsin | Cpudan80: vim guides people now? | 02:17 |
| fabio | thanks PriceChild | 02:17 |
| fabio | ... | 02:18 |
| neur1 | do i need to install nano? | 02:18 |
| Cpudan80 | neur1: nope | 02:18 |
| kelsin | matthew4: yes via the "User" command, you should really read the manpage for ssh_config, that file is very handy if you do a lot of sshing around | 02:18 |
| mneptok | jason_ubuntuislo: your advice is incorrect and will not work for him, despite the channel. | 02:18 |
| neur1 | k thanks | 02:18 |
| Neodudeman | jason_ubuntuislo: right now I'm stuck in fluxbox, because I accidentally set it as my default session window manager in the GDM. When I log onto the GDM, I can't change the session back to gnome because the theme I installed doesn't have a session changer; so I would like to change the GDM all the way back to its original default settings | 02:18 |
| Cpudan80 | kelsin: no, but nano has all those commands listed at the bottom of the window | 02:18 |
| kitche | jason_ubuntuislo: it's really the same base system just the gui is different | 02:18 |
| mneptok | jason_ubuntuislo: please be sure your advice will actually work before giving it | 02:18 |
| underdawg | do i have to be logged in to my desktop to vnc into it from a remote spot? | 02:18 |

| olskolirc | hello. what is the program called that allows us to put in the real isp email address and it returns the contact information? | 02:18 |
| Cpudan80 | kelsin: Real men use vim ;-) | 02:18 |
| Pici | fabio: Do you have a question here? | 02:18 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Kitche ahh thanks | 02:19 |
| fabio | any questions can talk | 02:19 |
| olskolirc | they sure do Cpudano80 *kisses* | 02:19 |
| Cpudan80 | kelsin: And they turn off the syntax highlighting :-) | 02:19 |

| Jack_Sparrow | k | 02:19 |
| mneptok | jason_ubuntuislo: "21:13 < neur1> i'm in xubuntu how do i edit files?" <-- that was the question you answered | 02:19 |
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: rofl | 02:19 |
| underdawg | is there a way that i can log into my desktop through vnc while someone else is using their desktop? | 02:19 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | mneptok, hey what is the way to resetup Gnome for session from the command line? | 02:19 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | mneptok, ahh sorry this channel is flying | 02:20 |
| Cpudan80 | underdawg: Yes... but it's painfully complicated | 02:20 |
| underdawg | how about xdmcp through windows? | 02:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmk789: you were mixing ide and sata drives before as well? | 02:20 |
| vizzie | vi is OK.. it's fast and it's everywhere. If you ignore the user-hostile beep mode, it's a fine text editor | 02:20 |
| kelsin | underdawg: yeah there are vnc servers that create a new session even if you log in with a user that is already logged in, just not the default setup one that's included in ubuntu | 02:20 |
| underdawg | is that a way that i could happen cpudan? | 02:20 |
| bmk789 | Jack_Sparrow: yes | 02:20 |
| Cpudan80 | underdawg: http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/16/howto-remote-desktop-with-vnc-in-ubuntu-edgy-gnu-linux/ | 02:20 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | mneptok, did you understand what i was asking? | 02:20 |
| Cpudan80 | underdawg: Just follow the directions and pray | 02:20 |
| mneptok | underdawg: what you are asking for sounds suspicious | 02:20 |
| LjL | fabio: we can talk in #ubuntu-ops | 02:20 |
| dor0 | just one more question guys, is a bug in grub or in kernel, i cant boot my linux without "nosplash", i tried everything possible, read the forums, etc, nothing works | 02:21 |
| underdawg | mneptok: i know, but i assure you it's not for suspicious reasons | 02:21 |
| underdawg | how about xdmcp? | 02:21 |
| underdawg | is that a way to start a new session? | 02:21 |
| Cpudan80 | underdawg: The fiesty instructions work fine with gutsy | 02:21 |
| dor0 | btw, i have 7.10 x64 | 02:21 |
| Cpudan80 | underdawg: Yes --- just follow those directions | 02:21 |
| bmk789 | underdawg: you can get xming on windows to run programs from your linux desktop on widnows remotely | 02:21 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | mneptok, you ? online? | 02:21 |

| jason_ubuntuislo | opps SavageOne u get that? | 02:26 |
| mneptok | SavageOne: also, the *.* is just wrong | 02:26 |
| kelsin | SavageOne: probably user@192.168.80.1 but I can garuntee the rsync man page says that | 02:26 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | Samui, yes just use * in linux not *.* | 02:26 |

| TheZealot | If I issue a command in the terminal and it is taking a long time, is there a combination of keys I can press to end the command and get back to a shell? | 02:29 |

| xLE | I was trying to configure a package for ghc, but it needs libreadline.so.4 | 02:30 |
| crimsun | xLE: then you'll need to have that package redone for gutsy. | 02:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmk789: it matches with hda or sda? | 02:30 |
| xLE | what do you mean? | 02:30 |

| kelsin | xLE does the ubuntu package for ghc (called ghc) not work for your needs? | 02:31 |
| bmk789 | Jack_Sparrow: would it be a good idea to chroot in and run update-grub then grub-install? | 02:31 |
| crush_groove | TheZealot, : control -C | 02:31 |
| crdlb | wers: Shift+alt+Up | 02:31 |
| xLE | ghc is all good, it's a package for ghc.. | 02:31 |
| crimsun | xLE: it was generated against a version of library that does not exist in gutsy. You'll need to regenerate the ghc addition. | 02:31 |
| TheZealot | crush_groove, perfect thank you! | 02:31 |
| mneptok | xLE: sudo apt-get install libreadline5-dev | 02:31 |

| [gquit]bombadil | mneptok: why not? | 02:32 |
| crdlb | !generic | [gquit]bombadil | 02:32 |
| ubotu | [gquit]bombadil: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) | 02:32 |
| kitche | [gquit]bombadil: you don't the generic replaced them all | 02:32 |
| mneptok | xLE: does htis app need that *specific* version of libreadline? | 02:33 |
| mneptok | *this | 02:33 |
| xLE | yes. | 02:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bmk789: You said you had reinstalled grub twice... just rying to think for a sec... what about the boot priority in the bios.. also sata can be set to emulate ide etc.. what happens if yo pull the sata? | 02:33 |

| xLE | it's a package for ghc.. called "irc" | 02:34 |
| bmk789 | Jack_Sparrow: im afraid to boot it without the sata because my /home is an LVM between the 2 drives :\ | 02:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k | 02:34 |

| mneptok | xLE: ohgawd. Haskell. | 02:35 |

| kelsin | xLE: then if you want to use their binaries instead of compiling it yourself you'll probably need to figure out a way to symlink the readline package or compile version 4 yourself | 02:36 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | tonyyarusso, this is to import csv to evo http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120099 | 02:36 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | tonyyarusso, that help u ? | 02:36 |
| soldats | narothepharoh, use synaptic package manager and search for plugins and codecs | 02:36 |
| tonyyarusso | jason_ubuntuislo: Well, sort of. Ideally I'm looking for a plugin type of thing that will do it automatically. | 02:37 |
| kelsin | Neodudeman: if you don't need any complex wep or wpa it's two commands "iwconfig <interface> essid <essid>" then "dhclient <interface>" look up the man of those two commands for more info | 02:37 |
| tonyyarusso | jason_ubuntuislo: A synchronization, rather than just copying manually. | 02:37 |
| hobbit_ | what is the command to restart your networking connection? | 02:37 |
| xLE | where would I get verison 4? | 02:37 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | tonyyarusso, if you want a automatic thing its a little more complicated i cant help you unless u know how to program | 02:37 |
| kelsin | xLE: I don't know, probably need to find the homepage for the readline library | 02:37 |
| hobbit_ | everytime i accidentally bump my wireless usb it goes out on me and i have to restart to get a connection. Any ideas? | 02:37 |
| underdaw1 | when I do a vncserver:2 it says error in locking authority file /home/person/.Xauthority | 02:38 |
| underdaw1 | what's that about? | 02:38 |
| Neodudeman | kelsin: and what if there's a 5-letter ascii wep? | 02:38 |
| tonyyarusso | jason_ubuntuislo: I don't :( Hopefully there will be a conduit data provider or something available soon | 02:38 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | hobbit_, its possible the usb is not being reloaded did you do a dmesg to see if its showing an issue | 02:38 |
| Neodudeman | kelsin: sike, i'll just look up the man pages; ty | 02:38 |
| hobbit_ | idk what that is | 02:38 |
| wers | how do i enable the expo? | 02:38 |
| kelsin | Neodudeman: you should look up the syntax of the iwconfig command with "man iwconfig" it has another command (like essid) to set the wep key | 02:38 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | tonyyarusso, some many things to build so little time | 02:38 |
| hvgotcodes | someone gave me advice (so i can safely update from feisty -> gutsy) to remove 3rd party sources and software | 02:39 |
| hvgotcodes | i removed the sources | 02:39 |
| hvgotcodes | but i do not see any orphaned packages | 02:39 |
| Neodudeman | kelsin: oh. I didn't know that man was a command. lol. ty | 02:39 |
| kelsin | xLE: I would recommend trying to compile the haskell compiler rather then trying to get another copy of libreadline | 02:39 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | iwconfig set wlan0 essid MYLAN i think | 02:39 |
| kelsin | Neodudeman: man is the most important command on your system, PERIOD | 02:39 |

| jason_ubuntuislo | Neodudeman, he no problem i try | 02:41 |
| kitche | LjL: I heard their IMAP support isn't that great but imap is what people are starting to use though since it syncs all desktop email instead of having email all over I haven't tried it though | 02:41 |
| ruthmann_ | no suggestions? | 02:41 |
| kelsin | wers: download that ccsm package then you can see all the keys, setup new plugins and change the keybindings if youw ant | 02:41 |
| wers | i'm runnign a live cd right now | 02:41 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | LjL, yes but i love thier search in gmail no email program can compare | 02:41 |

| Zimp_ | is there an automatic way to update ipw2200 drivers in gusty ? | 02:42 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | tonyyarusso, you could also see if theres a program to interface into the gmail ive seen those out there | 02:42 |

| kelsin | xLE: if you downloaded the binaries then you did not compile it, I would recommend doing one of two things 1) download the ghc source and really compile it, or 2) read the instructions on the ghc site next to the binary download, they have an rpm of readline 4 RIGHT THERE | 02:43 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL: Maybe I'm just not aware of it - enlighten me? | 02:43 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | kitche, he wants to sync his contacts too | 02:43 |
| LjL | tonyyarusso, i must simply be missing something of what you want to do | 02:43 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | kitche, i didnt know imap could do this | 02:43 |
| kelsin | xLE: you can download it, use the "alien" package to convert to a deb, and try installing that if you want | 02:43 |
| kitche | tonyyarusso: just configure your email clients for imap and enable it in gmail and there you go I have no clue about contacts though | 02:43 |
| eido | is it possible to break a linux gnu box by just pulling the plug on it? | 02:43 |
| kitche | jason_ubuntuislo: me neither but I m not usre but gmail might have an export command for them | 02:43 |
| LjL | tonyyarusso: contacts as they say, possibly | 02:43 |
| kelsin | eido: you can corrupt the file system yes | 02:43 |
| nibsa1242b | eido: it won't be happy about it if you do | 02:44 |
| kelsin | eido: (just like any modren OS) | 02:44 |
| kelsin | eido: *modern | 02:44 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | kitche, yes i posted a way to export to csv but he wants them updated all the time | 02:44 |
| hvgotcodes | what does installed (local or obsolete) mean in the package manager? | 02:44 |
| tonyyarusso | LjL, kitche: ... I know I can do the mail with IMAP - hence the question just about contacts. | 02:44 |
| nibsa1242b | I need help figuring out how to file a bug report. | 02:44 |
| ruthmann_ | \Can anyone recommend a good program to rip internet radio stations, that can split it into separate files by a specified length? | 02:44 |

| ruthmann_ | jason: have u used it before? | 02:46 |
| kelsin | nibsa1242b: if it's an ubuntu bug you want to file it in the ubuntu project | 02:46 |
| nibsa1242b | ok | 02:46 |
| kitche | tonyyarusso: sicne I believe they might have an application and I have to check my email anyways :) | 02:46 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | ruthmann_, nope just suggesting that its around | 02:46 |
| tritium | nibsa1242b: you'd report the bug against the ubuntu package, not the project | 02:46 |
| nibsa1242b | kelsin: tritium: I'm new to these things. I've only ever reported one bug before. Not sure exactly how to go about using the launchpad site. | 02:46 |
| xLE | how do i search for a specific package? | 02:47 |
| tonyyarusso | kitche: :) | 02:47 |
| xLE | apt-get search package_name*? | 02:47 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | sudo aptitude search | 02:47 |
| tritium | nibsa1242b: I'm about to host a LoCo meeting. Perhaps kelsin can assist... | 02:47 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | sudo aptitude search PACKAGENAME | 02:47 |
| nibsa1242b | kelsin: tritium: I think I'll be ok. I googled it and found the bug has already been reported on launchpad | 02:47 |
| LjL | jason_ubuntuislo: sudo with "search"? no need. | 02:47 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | LjL, ohh really | 02:47 |
| kelsin | nibsa1242b: you goto bugs.ubuntu.com and click on "Report a bug" | 02:47 |
| kelsin | nibsa1242b: well then you're all set | 02:47 |
| LjL | jason_ubuntuislo: yes really, why would one need root privilges to just *search* for a package? you aren't touching anything in the filesystem. | 02:48 |
| nibsa1242b | kelsin: yep, and the great thing is that there is a simple work around | 02:48 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | LjL, i always seem to use sudo because every time i do something it yells and says hey no permissions man ! | 02:48 |
| tritium | apt-cache search and aptitude search do not require sudo | 02:48 |
| toresn_ | what is the most common convention for naming multiple word directories, e.g. "a new directory" ? | 02:48 |
| nibsa1242b | kelsin: I'm happy. I often need the pdf editing power of flpsed. | 02:48 |
| crdlb | toresn_: what do you mean by "convention"? | 02:49 |
| xLE | kelsin, rpm is not for ubuntu? | 02:49 |
| kelsin | xLE: ubuntu does not use rpms, but we have the "alien" package that will convert rpm->deb | 02:49 |
| jason_ubuntuislo | xLE, alien will convert it | 02:49 |
| PriceChild | !alien | xLE kelsin jason_ubuntuislo | 02:49 |
| ubotu | xLE kelsin jason_ubuntuislo: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 02:49 |
| kelsin | xLE: it's not reliable and for big important packages not safe, but might work for this case | 02:50 |
| toresn_ | crdlb: etiquette | 02:50 |
| kitche | tonyyarusso: well I didn't see anything about clients but might want to do some searching about it | 02:50 |
| crdlb | toresn_: well I generally try to avoid it if that's what you mean, except for pure document folders (eg music grouped by artist/album) | 02:50 |
| kitche | tonyyarusso: clients/contacts | 02:51 |

| kelsin | Zimp_: /usr/src/linux is commonly just a symlink to the current kernel you have running, if that file isn't there isn't fine, they should be located in a folder in /usr/src | 03:09 |

| K_Dallas | Q: I have seen and used some of the email clinets in the market. But none so far has been good enough for my simple needs or that I was not able to use them effectively. For instance, if I want all the emails from a given person to go to a pre-determined folder. Or that I want all the emails with the same urgency be gathered together. If there a client enough flexibe and with such possibilities out there? Thanks | 03:15 |
| transcube | No, I meant how do I find out whether or not its using ext3, resierfs, etc. | 03:15 |
| K_Dallas | I was thinking that maybe some prefiltering by scripting could do this under linux but not that good with those stuff | 03:16 |
| Zimp_ | hmm | 03:16 |
| K_Dallas | transcube, fdisk -l | 03:16 |
| kelsin | K_Dallas: what clients hav eyou trued that havn't done this? I know Thunderbird and Evolution both can. You can also use procmail along with fetchmail and a client like mutt if you like a tech-savy cli solution | 03:16 |

What am i doing wrong? It seems like it doesnt access my account and my stations. | 03:32 |
| NeoPhyte21 | crdlb: gtk+2.0 was in there | 03:32 |
| RoAkSoAx | kromcuich weird.. maybe it is not iptables then | 03:32 |

| crdlb | NeoPhyte21: you've manually installed gtk for some reason, which is a bad thing | 03:33 |

| NeoPhyte21 | crd: so i get rid of it by? | 03:34 |
| NeoPhyte21 | i may have cp'd the .pc file there thinking it would fix it last night | 03:34 |

| kromcuich | Jordan_U: no, its on dhcp now...and neither eth0 or 1 function | 03:34 |

| krammer | Right click on the open space then start new partition? | 03:35 |
| Jordan_U | underdaw1, Again, does the laptop have openssh-server installed? | 03:35 |

| underdaw1 | Jordan_U: yes | 03:35 |
| krammer | I am back from start | 03:36 |

| underdaw1 | :( | 03:36 |
| Jordan_U | underdaw1, ssh in, if they are using a terminal right now the easiest thing to do would be to run "wall <message>" | 03:36 |
| scragar | krammer: you need unalocated space to do anything, so shrtinking/removing comes first | 03:36 |
| underdaw1 | i se | 03:36 |
| underdaw1 | wall is a cool command | 03:36 |
| underdaw1 | okay | 03:37 |
| RoAkSoAx | kromcuich: obviously...?? | 03:37 |

| RoAkSoAx | kromcuich do a /etc/init.d/networking restart and paste the output to paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 03:38 |
| krammer | i have my space showing unallowcated? | 03:38 |
| scragar | krammer: if you've got some free space now right click on it and select new partition | 03:38 |
| Jordan_U | underdaw1, You can also set the DISPLAY variable to ":0.0" then run any GUI command and it will show up on his desktop if he is logged in ( "zenity" is probably a good place to look for quick messages ) | 03:38 |

| Jordan_U | underdaw1, You can also use "aplay" to play a wav file | 03:38 |

| Joshooa | Wine or Cedega | 03:56 |
| R3B3LX | does anyone know how to wrok wine | 03:56 |
| Filled-void | fabio, Check Cedega and Wine you can search their databases if the game is supported | 03:56 |
| R3B3LX | that is my question >_> | 03:56 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: How to work it? | 03:56 |

| R3B3LX | it says Error Writing TO Temporary Location | 03:57 |
| R3B3LX | when its downloaded | 03:57 |
| magic_ninja | !download | 03:57 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 03:57 |
| fabio | Filled-void the game is very slow the graphics | 03:57 |
| magic_ninja | are there any download accelerators for linux, similar to dap | 03:58 |
| magic_ninja | i used to use it when it first came out and it rocked | 03:58 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: Well you should only use Wine to install it not to download it. You may have to set write permissions | 03:58 |
| movingdecimals | i guess kelsin left. i am getting an error trying to get dhcpd running. when trying to start it i get "no subnet declaration for start (0.0.0.0)" the subnet is def set. here is my dhcpd.conf - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48170/ | 03:58 |
| MagicFab | PenguinHunter, also see http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/05/24/1845244 | 03:58 |
| Filled-void | fabio, Sorry bud I havent played the game so I dont have experiences there :(. Your best choice is to check others reviews in cedega and wine and see if there is some fix for it | 03:58 |
| R3B3LX | how do i run it with wine then? | 03:58 |
| PenguinHunter | thanks guys | 03:58 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: After it's downloaded, do wine '/Path-to-File/File.exe' | 03:59 |
| R3B3LX | whats path to file? | 03:59 |
| scragar | or just right click the file and choose open with wine :P | 03:59 |
| R3B3LX | lolz | 03:59 |
| R3B3LX | that may help >_> | 03:59 |
| R3B3LX | it still gives me same error | 04:00 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: Well where did you download it? | 04:00 |
| R3B3LX | desktop | 04:00 |
| R3B3LX | but i right clicked it and choose to run it with wine >_> | 04:00 |
| abdulla | movingdecimals, internet not working ? | 04:00 |
| movingdecimals | hm? | 04:01 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: And it doesn't bring up the installing window? | 04:01 |
| R3B3LX | no | 04:01 |
| R3B3LX | it just says Untitled window as the window | 04:01 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: Have you ran winecfg yet? | 04:01 |
| R3B3LX | how do i do that? | 04:01 |
| movingdecimals | well this machine is on a differnt network works fine. this other machine i am trying to get dhcpd working | 04:01 |
| Joshooa | OPen a terminal and type winecfg or go to your wine menu and select Configure Wine | 04:02 |
| abdulla | movingdecimals, i just want to know if internet works it means you can surf ... before answering your question ;) | 04:02 |
| abdulla | if not working i can help if its working then my step is no sure for you movingdecimals | 04:02 |
| narothepharoh | I have xubuntu and I cant figure out how to get the sound to work even with the help pages | 04:02 |
| R3B3LX | ok i did that... a screen appeared... but what do i set it to or what | 04:02 |
| movingdecimals | well the the machine i am trying to get working is on a seperate network not connected to any inet connection | 04:03 |
| Joshooa | Set it to emulate windows xp | 04:04 |
| abdulla | movingdecimals, have you tried if it can detect a connection ? because dhcp should be got automaticlly from your router ect.. ubuntu does that | 04:04 |
| R3B3LX | i set it as windows vista? | 04:04 |
| Joshooa | Um, you can try that first but if it has errors go back and change it to XP | 04:04 |
| abdulla | i want to know if internet works on that computer trying plugin in a LAN cable and see if it connects :) movingdecimals | 04:04 |
| R3B3LX | lolz ok | 04:04 |
| IcemanV9 | R3B3LX: depends on the app you d/l | 04:04 |
| R3B3LX | i realized that before | 04:04 |
| R3B3LX | it said nothing of windows 200 | 04:04 |
| R3B3LX | 2000 working for it | 04:05 |
| Joshooa | I think emulating XP will be more stable, but if you can get it to run in Vista then you can go for that too | 04:05 |
| movingdecimals | if i plug it into the production network and change eth0 to dhcp i can get on the net | 04:05 |
| fabio | run virtualbox | 04:05 |
| Joshooa | And try it again | 04:05 |
| rbmorse | exit | 04:05 |
| R3B3LX | okiez | 04:05 |
| R3B3LX | lol vista wouldnt work | 04:05 |
| R3B3LX | same error | 04:05 |
| R3B3LX | let me try xp | 04:05 |
| Joshooa | When I ran virtualbox it froze | 04:05 |
| abdulla | Wine can do most jobs how come you guys still use virtualbox ? what purpose? :/ | 04:05 |
| R3B3LX | ok guys | 04:06 |
| viro | R3B3LX: what system? | 04:06 |
| fabio | need to see configuration | 04:06 |
| fabio | joshooa | 04:06 |
| R3B3LX | i added windows vista and clicked apply >_> | 04:06 |
| R3B3LX | and when i loaded it again | 04:06 |
| R3B3LX | it cam back up as windows 200 | 04:06 |
| R3B3LX | 2000* | 04:06 |
| viro | is this a vm? | 04:06 |
| Joshooa | fabio: Yeah? | 04:06 |
| bulmer | abdulla-> have you tried to read anything about virtualbox? | 04:06 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: Weird | 04:07 |
| R3B3LX | yes | 04:07 |
| R3B3LX | anyway i set it to xp | 04:07 |
| R3B3LX | going to try adn run it again | 04:07 |
| fabio | joshooa: run with sudo | 04:07 |
| Joshooa | fabio: Oh I got past that part, and added myself to the virtualbox user group, got into Windows Set Up, but it froze in that | 04:07 |
| R3B3LX | same error still | 04:07 |
| R3B3LX | would it matter if the top where it says Default.... was just default | 04:08 |
| R3B3LX | and nothing else? | 04:08 |
| fabio | Joshooa: sudo virtualbox | 04:08 |
| fabio | and create a new machine | 04:08 |
| Joshooa | fabio: I did that | 04:08 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: You mean Default Settings? | 04:08 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: Yeah that's fine | 04:08 |
| fabio | so? | 04:09 |
| Joshooa | fabio: So it freezes | 04:09 |
| Joshooa | fabio: Well once I try and install windows | 04:09 |
| R3B3LX | it says Application Settings.. the only 1 there is Default | 04:09 |
| abdulla | i used to use it bulmer but now i dualboot i have a mounted xp disk on my ubuntu desktop i do my swapping theyr for just makeing my ubuntu drive light and empty :) | 04:09 |
| fabio | yes | 04:09 |
| R3B3LX | acorn@confusedCPU:~$ wineserver: could not save registry branch to /home/acorn/.wine/system.reg : Permission denied | 04:09 |
| fabio | Joshooa: i think u need to reeinstal it | 04:10 |
| R3B3LX | it says that when i close it | 04:10 |
| Voyage__ | any one using virtual box? how to share folders in a winodws xp ? | 04:10 |
| fabio | sudo it | 04:10 |
| movingdecimals | abdulla: if i plug it into the production network and change eth0 to dhcp i can get on the net | 04:10 |
| bulmer | abdulla now if you want a simultaneous xp and linux and freebsd and openbsd, can you try to run that same time ? | 04:10 |
| R3B3LX | r u guys trying to add a windows xp to ur system or what? | 04:10 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: Do a terminal and run sudo /home/acorn/Desktop/Tukanas Hit Generator.exe | 04:10 |
| IcemanV9 | R3B3LX: you need to chmod your home .wine and it will allow you to save the config without using sudo | 04:11 |
| fabio | voyage read the instructions | 04:11 |
| fabio | sudo nautilus | 04:11 |
| abdulla | movingdecimals, i guess you need to leave it on eth0 :) , and check if you can ping google.com then .. tell me reply | 04:11 |
| fabio | and go to the folder | 04:11 |
| R3B3LX | sudo: /home/acorn/Desktop/Tukanas: command not found | 04:11 |
| fabio | and change premissions | 04:11 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: Whoops, I meant sudo wine | 04:11 |
| R3B3LX | lolz | 04:11 |
| abdulla | bulmer, no , however whats the point? | 04:12 |
| movingdecimals | abdulla: leave it on eth0 | 04:12 |
| movingdecimals | ? | 04:12 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: But if you can chmod your home .wine folder would be better | 04:12 |
| R3B3LX | sudo wine /home/acorn/Desktop/Tukanas Hit Generator.exe | 04:12 |
| R3B3LX | ? | 04:12 |
| bulmer | abdulla-> have you tried to read anything about virtualbox? then you will understand the point | 04:12 |
| kjp2 | I'm looking for some music playing software that has a web front end. Anyone know of such a thing ? | 04:12 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: Yes, should be it, if that's your file | 04:12 |
| abdulla | yes ... dhcp should be recognized ,without appointing it movingdecimals | 04:12 |
| movingdecimals | yes | 04:12 |
| abdulla | maybe for personal purpose bulmer :p | 04:12 |

| abdulla | movingdecimals, maybe thats true but with my case it was just my dns conflict i didnt know this was the cause of the problem , try in terminal cat /etc/resolv.conf | 04:15 |

| movingdecimals | abdulla: the only thing listed is "search <our production domain>" | 04:16 |
| abdulla | huh ?! | 04:16 |
| abdulla | in resolv.conf? | 04:16 |
| movingdecimals | yes | 04:16 |

| movingdecimals | that and a line that says "# generated by networkmanager do not edit!" | 04:17 |
| SantaClaus | can u help me? | 04:18 |
| abdulla | movingdecimals, and how about internet how can it connect when it doesnt have a dns? :s you sure the router does the job? | 04:18 |
| Icehawk78 | What would be the easiest recommended method for setting up an extremely basic mailserver on my server? The only ability I need if for it to recieve emails and be able to forward them to a PHP script. | 04:18 |
| Icehawk78 | I need absolutely *no* other features than that. | 04:18 |
| SantaClaus | are you all jewish here or what¿ | 04:18 |
| movingdecimals | in trying to make this work earlier when i switched networks i took the dns entries out | 04:18 |
| Icehawk78 | What'cha need help with, Sandy Claws? | 04:19 |
| movingdecimals | they have no purpose on this seperate netowrk | 04:19 |
| SantaClaus | how can i get a coloured /etc/issue output¿ | 04:19 |
| movingdecimals | and are in completetly different ranges | 04:19 |
| abdulla | !dhcp | 04:19 |
| ubotu | dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 04:19 |
| Joshooa | R3B3LX: I just read your thing, Geek Squad doesn't know anything about computers, they just have an automated CD | 04:19 |
| movingdecimals | right. i understand what dhcp does | 04:20 |
| bjbum | bahhhh. anyone have experience with wine/ventrilo outputting to 2 different sources if more than one person is talking? | 04:20 |
| abdulla | movingdecimals, im sorry i thought i could help ... thought its the dhcp conflict with dns if thats the case i would have showed you have to lock the dns and appoint the internet while ignoring some of the tcpwrapopers | 04:20 |
| IcemanV9 | andruk: i believe vesa can go up to 1024x768; vesa is basic video driver for most boxes. you need to install the correct video driver to get a better resolution | 04:21 |
| movingdecimals | this network isn't touching the inet or anything without a static address. dns isn't needed here. i am not sure i see the correlation | 04:21 |
| movingdecimals | thank you though | 04:21 |

| jsu | bulmer, if you say so | 05:13 |
| Dr_willis | Jesus|Freak, several ways. If you can ping each others ips they are connected. :) but how you want to see each other and do things depends. You can transfer files with samba, or nfs, or ssh. | 05:13 |
| Jesus|Freak | How do you set them so they ping? | 05:13 |
| analogue_ | anyone know how i can tell if a kernel module is bound to the base kernel or loaded as a LKM? | 05:13 |
| theremper | anyone knows what would happen if I copied my my windows folder to wines window folder | 05:13 |
| bulmer | jsu-> yep ...you can verify by googling | 05:13 |
| Poisonkiller | Ubuntu2: System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects | 05:13 |
| Dr_willis | Jesus|Freak, if they are on the same network and have the right ip's try pinging each other. | 05:14 |
| craigbass1976 | Voyage__, ok, chmod changes permissions on a file. every file has three sets of permissions for the most part. There's owner, group, and other. Then there's Read, Write, and execute. So, for every file, you can give any combination of rwx to those files that you want. | 05:14 |
| fabio | konam i dont know here is the problem now | 05:14 |
| fabio | try search in forum | 05:14 |
| Jesus|Freak | It will not respond when I try to ping one or the other. | 05:14 |
| bulmer | Jesus|Freak-> make sure their route table is okay..both sides | 05:14 |
| theremper | quess not | 05:14 |
| Jesus|Freak | How do you do that? | 05:15 |
| ckin2001 | Voyage__, google for linux acls. they allow more fine-grained control than is available with rwx permissions. | 05:15 |
| Ubuntu2 | ok poison found it ty | 05:15 |
| craigbass1976 | Voyage__, wide open would be rwxrwxrwx (read write execute for owner, group, and others) what you're looking for would be rwxr--r-- (however it actually looks) which can be accomplished by typing chmod 744 filename | 05:15 |
| bulmer | Jesus|Freak-> route -n will show you | 05:15 |
| jsu | bulmer, k, i guess i was just searching for pan straight. anyways iv got some instructions, im going to reboot into ubuntu and see what i can do.. thanks for the help | 05:15 |
| craigbass1976 | Voyage__, ls -l will show you the permissions of a file btw | 05:15 |
| Voyage__ | craigbass1976 i did the same. i ran filemanager by root access. changed the options for .. the root is able to write only. others only view. but its says "stailed" when i press ok. it doesnt applies changes | 05:15 |
| boubbin | craigbass1976 well i get laid more often now ;) | 05:15 |
| fabio | how to refine graphics ???? | 05:15 |
| Ubuntu2 | I go to the java site it says that I have the latest version | 05:15 |
| craigbass1976 | Voyage__, I've never changed permissions in a gui, so I don't know what you're dealing with | 05:16 |
| bulmer | jsu-> no problem, modem is modem..it goes through a serial or ethernet, this case its serial then ppp on top of it | 05:16 |
| Ubuntu2 | works in firefox | 05:16 |
| analogue_ | anyone know how i can tell if a kernel module is bound to the base kernel or loaded as a LKM? | 05:16 |
| Ubuntu2 | but not opera | 05:16 |
| craigbass1976 | boubbin, HAH! | 05:16 |
| Voyage__ | craigbass1976 thanks! | 05:16 |
| craigbass1976 | Voyage__, wait, there's more... | 05:16 |
| Voyage__ | l | 05:16 |
| jsu | bulmer, ok, ill try.. back later | 05:16 |
| Voyage__ | k | 05:16 |
| Poisonkiller | Ubuntu2: try uninstalling opera, downloading latest version from their homepage and installing that instead | 05:17 |
| maynards-girl | a | 05:17 |
| fabio | i want to fuck with ubuntu | 05:17 |
| fabio | lol | 05:17 |
| craigbass1976 | Voyage__, so if you want a folder to have all the same permissions, you do a chmod -R 744 foldername (-R makes it affect the folder AND all of it's contents) | 05:17 |
| Ubuntu2 | thanks poison will try it | 05:17 |
| craigbass1976 | Voyage__, root doesn't need to own these. If YOU owned them, the permissions would work the same. Others could only read them | 05:17 |

| craigbass1976 | Voyage__, never heard of it, but I haven't used KDE for a while either | 05:19 |
| Voyage__ | ic | 05:20 |
| craigbass1976 | what was wrong with konqueror I wonder... and why did they call the new one dolphin? | 05:20 |
| Voyage__ | its name is dolphine | 05:20 |
| Dr_willis | craigbass1976, dolphin is the new file manager for kde4. | 05:20 |
| Voyage__ | new file manager | 05:20 |
| Dr_willis | i always set it back to use Konqueror. | 05:21 |
| tritium | craigbass1976: nothing wrong with konqueror, they just wanted something with fewer advanced features (for simplicity) | 05:21 |
| Poisonkiller | craigbass1976: maybe it doesn't conquer your desktop any more :D | 05:21 |
| Jesus|Freak | How do you set up the ip routing table? | 05:21 |
| cerealkiller | <Poisonkiller>is it possible to shares folder with ntfs format in smb | 05:21 |
| ckin2001 | Jesus|Freak, man route | 05:21 |
| Dr_willis | cerealkiller, ive heard that its doable. :) | 05:22 |
| j1solutions | cerealkiller: yes | 05:22 |
| craigbass1976 | Ahh, could be. Being conquered was why I decided to come to linux in the first place | 05:22 |
| lpftr | cerealkiller: Are you sharing from Ubuntu? | 05:22 |
| Poisonkiller | cerealkiller: should be possible with samba, i haven't messed with it, i don't have any ntfs partitions | 05:23 |
| j1solutions | not too fun system | 05:23 |
| ckin2001 | cerealkiller, if you can mount it in linux, you can share it with samba | 05:23 |
| j1solutions | agreed ckin2001 | 05:23 |
| craigbass1976 | cerealkiller, why does it need to be an ntfs partiton? the remote windows box won't know the difference | 05:23 |
| lpftr | Yes, that's the right answer, ckin2001 | 05:24 |
| xiawu | ／list | 05:24 |
| imyousuf | ckin2001 Thanks for the help the other day :). This is what I used it for http://imyousuf-tech.blogspot.com/2007/12/guarding-against-softwares-with-memory.html | 05:24 |
| silent_ | I'm trying to burn an iso, but the burner keeps telling me I need to insert a cd with a certain capacity... I'm certain the cd is adequate, I'm thinking the OS isn't communicating with the burner properly... it is a Plextor 16/10/40 burner. | 05:25 |
| imyousuf | ckin2001, with looped cron job not it stops from IDEA crashing my laptop :) | 05:25 |
| silent_ | err Plexwriter* | 05:25 |
| ckin2001 | imyousuf, does it shut down the program gracefully if it is over memory limit? | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | silent_, you sure you are not trying to burn a 700 mb image to a 640mb disk? | 05:26 |
| imyousuf | yes ckin2001 :) | 05:26 |
| ckin2001 | nice | 05:27 |
| silent_ | Dr_willis: the image is a couple megabytes, the disc is 700mb | 05:27 |
| silent_ | it's Darik's boot n' nuke | 05:27 |
| imyousuf | ckin2001 but I required a cronjob+loop for the trick :) | 05:27 |
| lpftr | silent_, What software are you using to burn the CD? | 05:27 |
| kjp2 | how can I get gdm/defualt x install automatically include vnc ? | 05:27 |
| silent_ | lpftr: the default burner.. right click menu -> burn to disc | 05:27 |
| === NoorIslam is now known as NoorulIslaam | ||
| silent_ | Write to disc* | 05:28 |
| lpftr | The file is an iso file, right? | 05:28 |
| silent_ | It is | 05:28 |
| Dr_willis | kjp2, not sure thats doable.. you can set up vnc as a service where it can auto run and display a gdm login. - But that wont share the currently seen/existing desktop - it will be a seperate spawned desktop | 05:28 |
| kjp2 | Dr_willis: ok, how do I do the GDM login over vnc ? | 05:29 |
| n00bie | how can i set terminal window size when e.g. opening 'mutt' ? (i would like it to be bigger than the standard size terminal window) | 05:29 |
| lpftr | You should try burning the iso from the shell: cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=0,0,0 src.iso | 05:29 |
| silent_ | will do | 05:29 |
| n00bie | sorry for my bad english, please say if my question is unclear | 05:29 |
| Dr_willis | kjp2, i recall ages ago finding a howto on some site. :) I forget where. I think it was on a gentoo wiki. It had vnc spawning with inetd as needed. | 05:29 |
| lpftr | That way, you know it's not a problem with the software. | 05:29 |
| silent_ | if write succeeds, what options do I have for fixing the problem? | 05:29 |
| lpftr | Sometimes, the settings can get in the way. | 05:29 |
| kjp2 | Dr_willis: Ok, if you find the pointer, feel free to pass it on | 05:30 |
| lpftr | Well, then you have to investigate what's wrong with the software. | 05:30 |
| Dr_willis | kjp2, I just 'ssh' to the remote box and run vncserver manually, when i need to. | 05:30 |
| Poisonkiller | what is the best bittorrent client in ubuntu? | 05:30 |
| Dr_willis | Poisonkiller, depends on your needs. :) | 05:30 |
| lpftr | The other question I have to ask: when was the last time you burned with the unit? | 05:30 |
| silent_ | the program 'cdrecord' is currently not installed | 05:30 |
| silent_ | o_O | 05:30 |
| riffic | cdrecord is deprecated | 05:31 |
| bjbum | is there no way easy way to disable the touchpad in ubuntu? >.< | 05:31 |
| riffic | silent_: jorg schilling lol | 05:31 |
| Poisonkiller | Dr_willis: do you recommend anything? ;P | 05:31 |
| lpftr | In other words, are you sure the Plexwriter works. | 05:31 |
| Dr_willis | Poisonkiller, i use ktorrent. | 05:31 |
| silent_ | I'm sure the device itself works, I've used it in windows | 05:31 |
| lpftr | Hmm | 05:31 |
| pingu | hey guys | 05:32 |
| soldats | hello | 05:32 |
| silent_ | lpftr: what is the new burn utility since cdrecord is deprecated? | 05:32 |
| Dr_willis | bjbum, i got a button on my laptop that turns it off. :) Theres also the optional gsynaptic or ksynaptic (i think) tools that give you a way to configure them on the fly | 05:32 |
| Dr_willis | gsynaptics - configuration tool for Synaptics touchpad driver of X server and ksynaptics - Synaptics TouchPad configuration tool for KDE | 05:32 |
| lpftr | silent_: Hold on, I am trying to remember what I use. | 05:32 |
| riffic | silent_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/source/cdrtools | 05:33 |
| bjbum | i've enabled shmconfig (i think that's what it's called?) and installed gsynaptic from the synaptic package manager, but don't see where to open it | 05:33 |
| bazhang | Poisonkiller: transmission | 05:33 |
| mikebot | How do I install a .tar.gz? | 05:33 |
| cristhian | totem cant play my rented dvd . what can i do ? | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | bjbum, try typing gsynaptic in a terminal? | 05:33 |
| DG19075 | I've used K3B, GnomeBaker, Brasero, and Graveman to burn ISO's | 05:34 |
| riffic | silent_: in feisty, cdrecord is a dummy package for wodim | 05:34 |
| soldats | mikebot, untar then you need to compile it | 05:34 |
| bjbum | not found Dr_willis :( | 05:34 |
| riffic | in gutsy and hardy it got moved to multiverse | 05:34 |
| riffic | due to jorg schilling non-freeness | 05:34 |
| mikebot | soldats: How do I do that? | 05:34 |
| bazhang | cristhian: you need libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org | 05:34 |
| silent_ | riffic: so I need to use wodim? | 05:35 |
| riffic | silent_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/otherosfs/cdrecord | 05:35 |
| n00bie | how can i set terminal window size when e.g. opening 'mutt' ? (i would like it to be bigger than the standard size terminal window) | 05:35 |
| n00bie | sorry for my bad english, please say if my question is unclear | 05:35 |
| soldats | mikebot, unpack it and read the README file | 05:35 |
| riffic | silent_: wodim should be installed already | 05:35 |
| mikebot | untar command not found?.. | 05:35 |
| riffic | wodim is a fork | 05:35 |
| riffic | these are command line cd writing software | 05:36 |
| Pici | mikebot: tar xzvf filename.tar.g | 05:36 |
| lpftr | silent_: DG19075 made me remember, I use K3B. | 05:36 |
| Pici | mikebot: er, .gz | 05:36 |
| Dr_willis | mikebot, what is it that you are trying to install from source anyway? | 05:36 |
| mikebot | Pici: Thanks. | 05:36 |
| riffic | for gui, you can't go wrong with k3b | 05:36 |
| silent_ | riffic: That's what I need at the moment, I need to test if I can burn at least at the command line level | 05:37 |
| riffic | i just burn stuff on my mac its easier and just works | 05:37 |
| lpftr | silent_: I would go to your add/remove program and add k3b. Give it a try and see if that works for you. | 05:37 |
| silent_ | k3b compatible with gnome? | 05:37 |
| soldats | mikebot, after you do that read the README file and follow the instuctions | 05:37 |
| riffic | it'll work in gnome | 05:37 |
| DG19075 | K3B is solid | 05:37 |
| lpftr | Yes, that what I am using. | 05:37 |
| riffic | its a kde app so it'll install kde deps like qt libs | 05:37 |
| lapugo25 | .chakranet.com | 05:37 |
| riffic | what version are you using? gutsy? | 05:38 |
| DG19075 | I just wanted to see what graveman would be like so am giving it a go | 05:38 |
| silent_ | riffic: of course | 05:38 |
| lpftr | I am using gutsy. | 05:38 |
| Poisonkiller | where can i change mouse gestures in opera? | 05:38 |
| silent_ | Poisonkiller: try Opera:config | 05:38 |
| mikebot | It's just a folder, and it says install it | 05:38 |
| riffic | ah ok wodim should be installed already. it uses the same arguments as cdrecord since its a fork | 05:38 |
| silent_ | or config:opera something like taht | 05:39 |
| riffic | so give that a try | 05:39 |
| Ttech | Whats K3B? | 05:39 |
| riffic | Ttech: its a kde cd burning app | 05:39 |
| Ttech | Oh | 05:39 |
| Falstius | I just updated my machine from feisty to gutsy. Do I need to install anything to get the desktop effects? There doesn't seem to be a configuration for it in the system->preferences menu. | 05:39 |

| Dr_willis | silent_, my wife sets her desktop as low as it goes.. so she can see her solitare cards better. :) | 05:50 |
| ckin2001 | syndr0, if it has a window open, run xkill and click the window | 05:50 |
| silent_ | Dr_willis: press Super+R | 05:50 |
| Ttech | whats awm? | 05:50 |
| syndr0 | the windoes not open | 05:50 |
| Poisonkiller | syndr0: gnome system monitor can kill processes | 05:50 |
| balleyne | syndr0: gnome-system-monitor (there's an applet for the panel you can add) give you a GUI, or kill, killlall, something like that from the command line | 05:50 |
| syndr0 | ty | 05:51 |
| ckin2001 | kill -9 $pidofprocess | 05:51 |
| silent_ | good old kill dash nine | 05:51 |
| ckin2001 | i always kill with prejudice :D | 05:51 |
| silent_ | bit rash, don't you think? | 05:51 |
| biabia | my burners dvdr and cdr wont recognize blank media. what can I do | 05:51 |
| silent_ | that is the BFG of killing processes | 05:51 |
| * bruenig likes how silent_ pretends to understand kill -9 but can't understand how the menu works | 05:51 | |
| lpftr | silent_: Sorry, didn't mean to cause such a headache. | 05:51 |
| silent_ | bruenig: command line is my area, I'm lost in graphics | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | silent_, that aint going to work here :) | 05:52 |
| bruenig | silent_, so why didn't you just go to /usr/share/applications and see for yourself what the Categories for k3b were? | 05:52 |
| balleyne | Windows XP help anyone? preparing for a dual-boot, need some help... | 05:53 |
| silent_ | bruenig: getting used to the gui has made me lazy | 05:53 |
| * bruenig doesn't buy silent_'s story | 05:53 | |
| silent_ | good thing my story is open-source | 05:54 |
| pingu | hey guys | 05:54 |
| wy | I want to reinstall the whole system. But I there is a partition table error. I want to solve it before my fresh install. | 05:54 |
| silent_ | bazing | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis | balleyne, could just try resizing the partition with gparted and see what happens. I recall windows not being able to defrag/move some things - Swap file? at times | 05:54 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ then delete it | 05:54 |
| wy | Any ideas how to diagnose this type of error in linux? | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis | balleyne, theres also some 3rd party defragger tools for windows. | 05:54 |
| pingu | hey does any know how to manipulate the task bar on the top of the screen | 05:55 |
| wy | kahrytan: Just simply delete it? But I don't even know the error is in which partition. | 05:55 |
| noiesmo | wy, maybe run a hard drive manufactures test on drive before reinstall ensure the drive wont just crap out again | 05:55 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ just reformat the hard drive. and make new table. unless you want to keep the data | 05:55 |
| silent_ | enabling zoom desktop undid the Super+R function as each object was rendered | 05:55 |
| Kagar | what's a reccomended bot -- linux friendly and decently easy to use? | 05:55 |
| * bruenig points Dr_willis to another mysterious mention of this "taskbar" | 05:55 | |
| Kagar | for an IRC channel | 05:55 |
| kitofhawaii | balleyne: http://www.nishants.net/articles/ntfsresize.htm if you're up for it | 05:55 |
| balleyne | Dr_willis, I've had this issue before and I was able to resize, but not very far.. only to the point of the last file on the disk... I have 189 GB of free space, but it looks like there's only about 15 GB at the end.. lol... | 05:55 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ Do you use windows? | 05:55 |
| silent_ | balleyne: that's why you partition before you install operating systems *facepalm* | 05:56 |
| wy | kahrytan: Any ideas how to reformat the whole disk? It seems I can't find this option in BIOS | 05:56 |
| Kagar | kahrytan - I got banned from offtopic for a mont | 05:56 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ you got windows partition? | 05:56 |
| Kagar | month | 05:56 |
| wy | kahrytan: Yes. I need to reinstall windows first. Then linux | 05:56 |
| kahrytan | Kagar➲ goto #kahrytan | 05:56 |
| balleyne | silent: I certainly would have done that if I didn't get this computer years ago, lol =\ | 05:56 |
| wy | kahrytan: gparted reports the whole partition as empty. But both of my systems can still boot | 05:56 |
| balleyne | kitofhawaii: thanks fr the link, taking a look now | 05:57 |
| silent_ | balleyne: Then it's due for it's regular windows reinstall anyway... that system must be running slow as hell | 05:57 |
| silent_ | don't you know windows destroys itself from the inside out over time? | 05:57 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ if you just reinstalling everything, just format the disk. gparted can delete partitions. and so will windows on install | 05:57 |
| wy | It's really weird I often got partition table errors when I have two systems. | 05:57 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ you could try diagnostics software from hdd mfg | 05:57 |
| wy | kahrytan: That would be ... hitachi | 05:58 |
| === u^A is now known as u^A_ | ||
| zoexii | hello, is there a command that I can type to determine my version of Xorg? | 05:58 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ You got the bootable cd from them? | 05:58 |
| pingu | any one know how to manipulate the task bar | 05:58 |
| bruenig | pingu, right click | 05:59 |
| zoexii | pingu, right click? | 05:59 |
| balleyne | silent_: oh, I know, but this machine doesn't get used that often. Everything else I use is GNU/Linux, but this has an app I use for recording music - I'm hoping to install Ubuntu studio so that I can finally ditch Windows altogether. I've kept my Windows install in really good shape though, so it's still running fine (I mean, fine for windows, lol) | 05:59 |
| bruenig | zoexii, X -version | 05:59 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ just format the hdd. | 05:59 |
| wy | kahrytan: No. It's a lenovo T60. I used to have a partition which contains the utilities. But I deleted it | 05:59 |
| pingu | tried that, i want to organize it and it wont let me | 05:59 |
| Dr_willis | pingu, right click in the proper place :) | 05:59 |
| wy | kahrytan: Do you mean "low level" format? | 05:59 |
| silent_ | balleyne: I'm boot n nuking my vista install | 06:00 |
| zoexii | bruenig, cool, thank. | 06:00 |
| biabia | Ok, whats the pronounciation for Ubuntu. I went into the local smallish pc store and mentioned it and my mispronounciation got me an awkward stare | 06:00 |
| bruenig | pingu, well this could just be gnome being gnome but what are you doing | 06:00 |
| silent_ | balleyne: happiest day of my life | 06:00 |
| kitofhawaii | wy: grab a friend's windows 98 disk and fdisk the data good bye if you really want to :) they're usually being used as coffee coasters :0 | 06:00 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ try regular format first, then zero it | 06:00 |
| silent_ | kahrytan: ugh... I had to do that once | 06:00 |
| balleyne | silent_: hehe I know the feeling :) | 06:00 |
| wy | kahrytan: Then I would need something from the manufactorer | 06:00 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ or floppy disk that windows makes? | 06:01 |
| kitofhawaii | wy: or fdisk off the ubuntu live cd :) | 06:01 |
| kahrytan | kitofhawaii➲ get my msg? | 06:01 |
| pingu | bruenig: just trying to move some icons around where i want them | 06:01 |
| Dr_willis | for the truely paranoid. I recall some live cd's that had 'disk secure deletion' tools on them | 06:01 |
| kitofhawaii | kahrytan: which one? sorry :) | 06:02 |
| wy | Thanks. | 06:02 |
| bruenig | pingu, right click on them, make sure they are "unlocked" whatever the hell that even means, and then right click and move | 06:02 |
| silent_ | balleyne: I kinda want to rip apart system 32 and watch the OS fail upon boot... and laugh loudly into the cold night | 06:02 |
| NoorulIslaam | biabia, how did you pronounce it? | 06:02 |
| Myrtti | Dr_willis: dd if=/dev/zero and /dev/urandom couple of times ;-) | 06:02 |
| zoexii | ok, so X -version gives version 1.3, however ATI installer thinks X.org should be versions 6.8-7.1, Is X server different from X.org? | 06:03 |
| kahrytan | myrtion➲ what's dd if do? | 06:03 |
| ckin2001 | kahrytan, man dd | 06:03 |
| kahrytan | Do I have to read some lengthy doc? | 06:04 |
| balleyne | silent_: ahaahhah, niiice | 06:04 |
| Myrtti | kahrytan: do you want me to? ;-) | 06:04 |
| timandtom | Sorry, #openoffice.org is no help, and since OpenOffice IS bundled with Ubuntu... I just need to know, is there a way to link to stuff in a spreadsheet? | 06:04 |
| kahrytan | myrtion➲ i just want to know what the command does | 06:04 |
| kitofhawaii | timandtom: what type of link? | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | timandtom, i recall putting embeded spread sheets in OO docs. :) | 06:05 |
| pingu | bruenig: thanks | 06:05 |
| kahrytan | Myrtti➲ oops. Whats the command do? | 06:05 |
| jahisthebalance | hey I feel really stupid can anyone help me out | 06:05 |
| Myrtti | dd needs atleast two values, if and of | 06:05 |
| timandtom | kitofhawaii: like to ~/Desktop/rawr.pdf or something like that | 06:05 |
| Myrtti | it writes data to a file or a partition | 06:05 |
| bruenig | !anyone | jahisthebalance you fit in well in this channel | 06:06 |
| ubotu | jahisthebalance you fit in well in this channel: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 06:06 |
| kitofhawaii | timandtom: that's usually done with insert -> object | 06:06 |
| timandtom | kitofhawaii: and itll just make a clickable link to the object? | 06:06 |
| jahisthebalance | I deleted the wireless network launcher off the top taskbar and I can't get it back | 06:06 |
| Myrtti | can be used multiple ways, the most common to write partitions full of zeroes or randomness to erase the data | 06:06 |
| IcemanV9 | zoexii: v1.3?!? can't be .. it should be like this --> X Window System Version x.x.x | 06:07 |
| Myrtti | kahrytan: read the man for more info | 06:07 |
| kitofhawaii | timandtom: uhm...lemme try real quick | 06:07 |
| wers | is there any multisync user here? :) | 06:07 |
| * bruenig points Dr_willis to another `taskbar' problem | 06:07 | |
| bruenig | jahisthebalance, right click on the panel (read not called taskbar) | 06:07 |
| kahrytan | Myrtti➲ I remember one time when I used windows, I formated then booted in dos mode. old data was still there. I did format. | 06:07 |
| jahisthebalance | yeah its okay to make fun of me... my bad | 06:07 |
| pingu | jahhisthebalance: right click outside all the other icons and there will be add in that box | 06:07 |
| Dr_willis | bruenig, at least he dident lose the whole bar. :) | 06:07 |
| pingu | then pick it and add it | 06:07 |
| zoexii | IcemanV9, yes it say 1.3.0 | 06:08 |
| timandtom | kitofhawaii: Ok, awesome :D thanks. Again, sorry for taking this to #ubuntu, but #openoffice.org is too dead | 06:08 |
| bruenig | I think the score is taskbar - 4, toolbar - 1, oddly enough panel - 0 | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | bruenig, i think 1/2 the issue is that ya have to right click in just the rght place to get to some of the menus to tweak the taskbar. :) | 06:08 |
| Myrtti | kahrytan: dd isn't mkfs | 06:08 |
| pingu | man we need to be nice | 06:08 |
| * bruenig awaits the day when someone says panel | 06:08 | |
| kitofhawaii | timandtom: you could do insert -> hyperlink | 06:08 |
| rabiddachshund | I'm trying to follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick but it's not letting me copy /dists/stable or /ubuntu. Are they really necessary? | 06:08 |
| timandtom | kitofhawaii: and then just type the filepath? | 06:09 |
| jahisthebalance | I have the whole add to panel bit on there but where is the WiFi? | 06:09 |
| kitofhawaii | timandtom: file:// is usually the format for that...lemme try that :) | 06:09 |
| IcemanV9 | zoexii: odd. never seen this nbr. | 06:09 |
| timandtom | kitofhawaii: :D Awesome, thanks! | 06:09 |
| Myrtti | dd can be used to make *exact* copies of partitions (not as useful as one might think) | 06:09 |
| kitofhawaii | timandtom: naw...just insert -> hyperlink and then select document | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | Actually the WiFi icon in the system tray part of the panel. is a Application you run isent it? Not a 'add to panel widget' | 06:09 |
| kahrytan | Myrtti➲ I was just commenting how format doesnt erase data that very well. | 06:09 |
| biabia | NoorulIslaam: I pronounced it ooo bun 2 | 06:09 |
| silent_ | kahrytan: Darik's boot n nuke | 06:10 |
| timandtom | ok, thanks kitofhawaii! | 06:10 |
| kahrytan | biabia➲ which is generally correct | 06:10 |
| NoorulIslaam | biabia, me too | 06:10 |
| balleyne | Dr_willis: nm-applet maybe? | 06:10 |
| kahrytan | Ubuntu is pronounced Oo-Boon-too | 06:10 |
| Myrtti | kahrytan: and that's why we're so lucky to have ubuntu ;-) | 06:10 |
| biabia | i thought i read someplace its ooo boon too | 06:10 |
| Myrtti | kahrytan: or any other distro | 06:10 |
| biabia | which is awkward for me | 06:10 |
| kahrytan | Myrtti➲ I still use windows but been awhile since booting it. AVG needs updating :-P | 06:11 |
| soldats | i perfer oo bun too | 06:11 |
| zoexii | IcemanV9, nbr? I dunno, it is an install of Gusty, and I have run updates, so it should be the most recent, the first line returned says "X Window System Version 1.3.0"... and the ati driver installer quits with an error about detected verion of X not having 'x130' directory... | 06:11 |
| Myrtti | dd comes by default... <3 | 06:11 |
| jahisthebalance | well I have no idea | 06:11 |
| biabia | cool | 06:11 |
| timandtom | kitofhawaii: Would there happen to be anyway to make it so instead of /home/brian (my accounts name), it would be /home/whatever the users name is? | 06:11 |
| kitofhawaii | timandtom: assuming you have access to the path/file | 06:12 |
| wy | Are there any better ways to partition the disk for a two-system machine? I need a windows and a Ubuntu. Normally I just use sda1 for C:, sda2 is extended. sda5 is D:, sda6 is swap; sda7 is /; sda8 is /home. | 06:12 |
| IcemanV9 | zoexii: hm. wonder if there is a parameter to ignore the version nbr to install ati driver. | 06:12 |
| timandtom | like, saying i wanted to send this spreadsheet to someone, as well as the files that its linked to, and have the links work | 06:12 |
| MasterShrek | wy: sda1 for windows c, sda2 for /, sda3 for /home and sda4 for swap | 06:13 |
| MasterShrek | dont make extended | 06:13 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ Install Windows, then have Ubuntu resize partition and make / and swap partition. | 06:13 |
| zoexii | IcemanV9, maybe, I think it's looking for a folder that corresponds to the number. | 06:13 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ you dont have to have /home partition if you dont want it. | 06:13 |
| wy | MasterShrek: I want to have a D: | 06:13 |
| MasterShrek | you dont really need a /home partition though, kinda handy but not nessicary | 06:13 |
| ckin2001 | timandtom, put all the files in one folder, have the links between them relative, and then tar / gzip them to send to someone else | 06:14 |
| MasterShrek | d: for a cdrom you are talking or for a mounted partition? | 06:14 |
| timandtom | ckin2001: how do i make it so the links are relative? | 06:14 |
| wy | MasterShrek: I just want to keep my personal data and settings separate from the system. | 06:14 |
| kahrytan | wy➲ Linux doesnt use letters for drives | 06:14 |
| MasterShrek | ah, well yea that'd be the way to do it, what fs you thinking of using? | 06:15 |
| ckin2001 | timandtom, use relative pathnames instead of absolute, i.e. use ./thefilename instaed of /home/username/thefilename | 06:15 |
| wy | MasterShrek: d: is a partition in windows | 06:15 |
| jahisthebalance | I just want to open the networks program again so I can switch networks easily like I did less than ten minutes ago | 06:15 |
| wy | Why you suggest not to have extended? | 06:15 |
| ckin2001 | jahisthebalance, you may need to restart nm-applet | 06:15 |
| balleyne | wy: letters how Windows mounts a partition, linux mounts partitions directly to the root filesystem | 06:15 |
| MasterShrek | wy: why do you suggest having one? | 06:15 |
| timandtom | ckin2001: oook, thanks! so . takes it to the folder that the spreadsheet is in? | 06:16 |
| IcemanV9 | zoexii: well, fwiw, i installed fglrx driver without a glitch. did not have a problem with ATI since then. | 06:16 |
| ckin2001 | timandtom, ./whatever means the present folder, ../whatever is the parent folder | 06:16 |
| balleyne | wy: sorry, correction - letters are how Windows mounts partitions | 06:16 |
| wy | MasterShrek: Because I usually have more than 4 partitions. I don't really want it | 06:16 |
| jahisthebalance | so if it's not incredibly silly to ask, how would I restart nm-applet? | 06:16 |
| kitofhawaii | kahrytan: can't pm you at the moment...won't let the pm's through (no such nick/channel) | 06:16 |
| wy | balleyne: I know that. I just try to explain views from two systems. | 06:17 |
| rohan | i want a module to be loaded on startup - what do i do / | 06:17 |
| timandtom | ok, awesome, thanks a ton ckin2001 | 06:17 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: try typing "nm-applet &" into the terminal (without the quotes) | 06:17 |
| wy | Why do you suggest swap at the end? | 06:17 |
| kahrytan | kitofhawaii➲ thats off | 06:17 |
| kahrytan | kitofhawaii➲ thats odd | 06:17 |
| rohan | wy: it's just a norm .. not a requirement | 06:18 |
| MasterShrek | ive heard its faster if its at the end | 06:18 |
| wy | I often get partition table errors when I have two system. Could that caused by extended partition? | 06:18 |
| jahisthebalance | balleyne: that didn't quite do it honestly | 06:18 |
| ckin2001 | jahisthebalance, you can also try these two commands : sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart , sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher restar | 06:18 |
| ChrisC35 | my ubuntu machine has froze 2 times in the past 3 days | 06:18 |
| MasterShrek | possibly, ive never used them much though | 06:18 |
| ckin2001 | in order | 06:18 |
| kitofhawaii | MasterShrek: depends on the manufacturer's low level format | 06:19 |
| ChrisC35 | is there a way I can check the logs to see whats wrong? I've checked temperatures, they are fine | 06:19 |
| MasterShrek | but if you only have 4 partition, then you dont need an extended partition | 06:19 |
| balleyne | rohan: I THINK you can just add the module to /etc/modules | 06:19 |
| rohan | balleyne: ah, thanks | 06:19 |
| MasterShrek | ic | 06:19 |
| ckin2001 | balleyne, thats what you do | 06:19 |
| soldats | http://youtube.com/watch?v=79YizcqJuN4 lolwut? | 06:20 |
| soldats | i luled | 06:20 |
| wy | MasterShrek: I usually have C: and D: because I keep my data in D:. And all the things in C: is quite disposable | 06:20 |
| belphegor | hi, can someone help me? i am trying to get my x server to see a font i've installed to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myfonts.. they all show up in OO and other programs, but xfontsel doesn't pick it up and i need it to for my xscreensaver lock theme. anyone know what's up? thanks! | 06:20 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: nothing happened when you did that? a brute force way could be just to log out and back in, the app should load on startup even if you've managed to close it now | 06:20 |
| MasterShrek | rohan: you can also put modprobe <module> in /etc/rc.local | 06:20 |
| wy | MasterShrek: Windows is fragile... | 06:20 |
| tritium | soldats: don't post offensive URLs, please | 06:20 |
| MasterShrek | wy: true that | 06:20 |
| MasterShrek | what filesystem are you going to use for the D: drive? | 06:20 |
| wy | MasterShrek: sometimes weird things happen and I have to reinstall the system | 06:21 |
| MasterShrek | i know how that goes | 06:21 |
| soldats | tritium, oh dang sorry i thought i was somewhere else | 06:21 |
| wy | MasterShrek: So I want to let the data in D: so that I just need to ghost my fresh windows into C | 06:21 |
| jahisthebalance | yeah I'll try, hopefully that would do it, I mean, obviously its still connected | 06:22 |
| MasterShrek | yea, then deal with the rest later, after linux is installed, but are you making your D drive fat32 or what? | 06:22 |
| wy | I still don't know what's wrong with the partition table. I did it quite carefully | 06:22 |
| MasterShrek | couldnt tell you | 06:22 |
| belphegor | anyone know what i mean? the xscreensaver lock is looking for "-*-neuropol-*-r-*-*-*-80-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" and i have neuropol installed, it just doesn't recognize it... a | 06:23 |
| docgnome | wy: partition tables are deep magic. | 06:23 |
| jahisthebalance | it just seems a little counter intuitive for something to be on the panel initially that can be removed but not put back on | 06:23 |
| wy | MasterShrek: I just made it ntfs | 06:23 |
| jahisthebalance | oh well I'll see you all soon I hope | 06:23 |
| MasterShrek | ok, should be good, i was going to suggest that | 06:23 |
| ckin2001 | jahisthebalance, you can also try these two commands : sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart , sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher restar | 06:23 |
| docgnome | wy: I don't think anyone _really_ understands them. | 06:23 |
| wy | docgnome: That's strange. We can only have four main partitions | 06:23 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: there are some things that are panel items/gadget things, and other things that go into the notification area on the panel when a program is running - that's the difference | 06:23 |
| wy | I wonder if all the hds are the same. | 06:23 |
| wy | I've heard of LVM. Is it good? | 06:24 |
| docgnome | wy: *shrug* no idea. It seems like it wouldn't be a limitation of... what are they called... AH! solid state drives. | 06:24 |
| docgnome | but I could be wrong. | 06:24 |
| crazy_bus | I had a number of downloads in my 'downloader for x' list. However I ran out of hard drive space on one of my partitions. This seems to have caused the program to lose the download list. Is their anyway to get it back? | 06:25 |
| jahisthebalance | fair enough, I'm just gonna logout and in and hope for the best | 06:25 |
| mage__ | crazy_bus: downloader for x? | 06:25 |
| jahisthebalance | cheers | 06:25 |
| wy | Maybe I should be more tolerant about this mess. The machine is like a organism full of nasty... | 06:26 |
| virtual | Is it possible to change the mouse wheel scrolling? like to one page per wheel click | 06:26 |
| rohan | MasterShrek thank you | 06:26 |
| crazy_bus | mage__: download program also called d4x | 06:26 |
| mage__ | so its a download manager, you run out of diskspace and it empties its queue? doesn't seem right | 06:27 |
| MasterShrek | np rohan :) its quite a handy file really | 06:28 |
| wy | It's really not decidable. I'd rather we don't have file systems at all. | 06:28 |
| jesse | have a question here about Terminal as im new to Ubuntu im trying to learn the terminal and my problem seems to be i can move files or items with in a file folder but i cant move it from one location to another am i doing something wrong ? | 06:28 |
| virtual | Also I have flash installed but firefox doesn't pick it up :/ 7.10 | 06:28 |
| mage__ | wy: hahahaha none at all? or just one big one? | 06:29 |
| IcemanV9 | virtual: restart the firefox | 06:29 |
| virtual | I did | 06:29 |
| jesse | if anyone has a moment and could help | 06:29 |
| mage__ | how did you install it virtual? | 06:29 |
| kjp2 | wow, i just installed apache and my http.conf is empty | 06:29 |
| virtual | Still asks me to install the plugin, and it fails then | 06:29 |
| ckin2001 | virtual, did you install the plugin? | 06:29 |
| balleyne | jesse: what command are you using to move files? try typing 'man mv' (without the quotes) | 06:29 |
| wy | mage__: Maybe with one huge database | 06:29 |
| MasterShrek | virtual: 64 bit? | 06:29 |
| virtual | add/remove in apps | 06:29 |
| IcemanV9 | jesse: what was the command that you tried to move or copy | 06:29 |
| virtual | 32 | 06:29 |
| mage__ | oh | 06:29 |
| MasterShrek | virtual: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 06:30 |
| MasterShrek | give that a try | 06:30 |
| balleyne | jesse: mv is sort of like cut/paste, while cp is more like copy/paste | 06:30 |
| Kobaka | sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 06:30 |
| jesse | mv -v filename location | 06:30 |
| Kobaka | yeah | 06:30 |
| MasterShrek | :) | 06:30 |
| wy | currently the things are often "lost" in the file system. It's really hard to organize them. | 06:30 |
| silent_ | awn is kinda cool.. installed it to play around with it, not a bad little applet | 06:30 |
| silent_ | I'm not really into eye candy though | 06:30 |
| jesse | i can get the files to move with inthem selves but i cant seem to move them from one file to another | 06:30 |
| * MasterShrek isnt either | 06:30 | |
| jesse | err folder to another | 06:30 |
| virtual | i miss vista's hit winkey and type to find apps :/ | 06:30 |
| virtual | any way of doing that in ubuntu? | 06:31 |
| ivan | virtual: launchy | 06:31 |
| ivan | oh, klauncher or something | 06:31 |
| ivan | klaunchbar? | 06:31 |
| balleyne | jesse: hmmm... I don't know what that wouldn't be working | 06:31 |
| ckin2001 | jesse, i dont follow what it is that you cant do | 06:31 |
| stunatra | virtual, ALT+F2 | 06:31 |
| ivan | virtual: Katapult | 06:31 |
| mage__ | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu0.7.10_i386.deb <-- virtual: might want to install that deb, for flash | 06:31 |
| MasterShrek | jesse: is it possible you dont have permissions to the target folder? | 06:31 |
| biabia | this one drive works, burns and reads. the other one ejects and the light comes on but it wont read or burn. i should unplug the cord inside and check the connection? | 06:31 |
| virtual | flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. | 06:31 |
| mage__ | but did it actually install? | 06:31 |
| * syc_ brb.. | 06:32 | |
| balleyne | jesse: location can be a filename or a folder, and it can be a relative or absolute path.. if you've got the command right, permissions could be the issue | 06:32 |
| balleyne | jesse: do you get an error message? | 06:32 |
| IcemanV9 | jesse: you might rename the file instead of move | 06:32 |
| jesse | yes i get error message | 06:32 |
| IcemanV9 | s/might/might have | 06:32 |
| jesse | like the command is not right | 06:32 |
| virtual | alt-f2 is a bit awkward to press, any chance of changing it to f2? :P | 06:32 |
| balleyne | jesse: give us an example of a specific command you're trying then maybe? | 06:32 |
| jahisthebalance | yeah that didn't work guys | 06:33 |
| jesse | i move a file from like say inside documents to a folder but when i open the folder i cant seem to get the file to move back | 06:33 |
| MasterShrek | virtual: should be something in, system > preferences, maybe keyboard shortcuts or something | 06:33 |
| jesse | see what im saying | 06:33 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: blah... so, running 'nm-applet' from the command line doesn't do anything? | 06:34 |
| docgnome | jesse: it's becoming slightly clearer | 06:34 |
| xwin | I'm newbie Ubuntu user, long time Linux user (Red Hat, Fedora). Ubuntu doesn't support WPA-PSK. Everytime I tried WLAN with WPA-PSK authentication, Ubuntu crases. | 06:34 |
| wers | what interface fonts can you recommend? i want something other than sans :D | 06:34 |
| virtual | thanks MasterShrek! | 06:34 |
| jahisthebalance | no, I mean its obviously working | 06:34 |
| wers | i'm using a typical clearlooks-like look and feel | 06:34 |
| MasterShrek | np virtual | 06:34 |
| docgnome | jesse: so you can move files from one directory to another one, but you can't move it back? | 06:35 |
| virtual | trying rebooting to see if firefox recognizes it then | 06:35 |
| wers | what fonts can be fit for that? :) | 06:35 |
| jahisthebalance | I just don't have the selector thing anymore | 06:35 |
| jesse | exactly | 06:35 |
| docgnome | jesse: how are you moving them? Draggint them with gnome (or whatever) or using the command line? | 06:35 |
| ckin2001 | jahisthebalance, sudo nm-applet & ? | 06:35 |
| MasterShrek | xwin: sudo apt-get install wpa_supplicant ? i dunno if it comes by default or not | 06:35 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: right.. I had that problem a while back, I was almost positive that running nm-applet brought the applet back (ie. the selector) | 06:36 |
| jesse | im trying to learn the terminal and commands as ive researched as much as i can the commands and such i can move the files using the desktop but the fun so im told is in the terminal | 06:36 |
| docgnome | jesse: which did you use to move these files? | 06:36 |
| xwin | MasterShrek, thanks, will try that. | 06:36 |
| docgnome | jesse: if it was the command line, please tell us exactly what you typed to move them. | 06:36 |
| jesse | mv -v Filename Location | 06:36 |
| jahisthebalance | yeah I'm trying some variations on that | 06:37 |
| xwin | MasterShrek, is that wpa_supplicant? not wpa-supplicant ? | 06:37 |
| balleyne | jesse: exactly, like, with a specific example and filenames | 06:37 |
| MasterShrek | im pretty sure its an underscore | 06:37 |
| MasterShrek | !info wpa_supplicant | 06:37 |
| ubotu | Package wpa_supplicant does not exist in gutsy | 06:37 |
| docgnome | jesse: and what are you typing to try and move them back? | 06:37 |
| MasterShrek | hmm | 06:37 |
| jesse | mv -v picture1.jpg Pictures | 06:37 |
| mage__ | xwin: tab completion? | 06:37 |
| jahisthebalance | but nothing... | 06:37 |
| docgnome | jesse: and what exactly does it say when you do that? | 06:37 |
| mage__ | apt-get install wpasupplicant | 06:37 |
| jesse | trying to move them back to documents from My Pictures | 06:38 |
| mage__ | (I'm on gutsama) | 06:38 |
| jesse | and the commands arent working the same i get error message | 06:38 |
| davidthedrake | Does anyone have a good guide on how to get Freespace 2 up and running well with Gutsy? | 06:38 |
| docgnome | jesse: so you moved them into My Pictures and you want to move them to Documents? | 06:38 |
| slava_ | hi | 06:39 |
| mnemonica | Hey, anyone use emulators for old gba games? | 06:39 |
| balleyne | jesse: what is the exact error message you are getting? | 06:39 |
| jahisthebalance | no other ideas on how to get the wifi spot selector back on the top panel? | 06:39 |
| docgnome | jesse: show me exactly what you type to move them back and exactly the erros message you get. | 06:39 |
| jesse | yes so i cd Pictures and tryed to mv -v picture.png Documents and it did not work | 06:39 |
| xwin | it ways 'wpasuplicant is already the newest version. | 06:39 |
| docgnome | jesse: ah. | 06:39 |
| jesse | am i doing something wrong ? | 06:40 |
| docgnome | jesse: and the Pictures folder is inside Documents? | 06:40 |
| jesse | was i not suppose to change directory | 06:40 |
| balleyne | jesse: you can change directory | 06:40 |
| docgnome | jesse: Yeah. It is looking for Documents within the Pictures directory. | 06:40 |
| balleyne | jesse: but then you need to change the path | 06:40 |
| jahisthebalance | it becomes a little aggravating how easy it is to put a fish there | 06:40 |
| mnemonica | repeat: Hey, anyone use emulators for old gba games? | 06:40 |
| jon_ | I am having problems with video playback in vlc any ideas? | 06:40 |
| mage__ | I dont, try visualboyadvance | 06:40 |
| jesse | was inside i moved it from documents to pictures which pictures folder was in documents and i just cant seem to pull it back out of pictures and put it back in documents | 06:41 |
| mnemonica | I'm having issues getting sound to work correctly in a few of the ones I'm trying. | 06:41 |
| balleyne | jesse: so, you might have to say ../Document (.. means parent directory), or /home/jesse/Documents or something, if you don't put a path it looks for it in your current directory | 06:41 |
| docgnome | jesse: so (if I understand correctly) what you want to type is mv -v picture.png ../ | 06:41 |
| alecw1 | Hello, I'm getting a weird error whenever I login to GNOME. After I enter my credentials, it gives me an error: "Assistive technology support has been requested for this session, but the accessibility registry was not found. Please ensure that the AT-SPI package is installed. Your session has been started without assistive technology support." I have no idea what's wrong. The at-spi package IS installed, and I even reinstalled it for confirmati | 06:41 |
| docgnome | jesse: ../ stands for the parent directory of the one you are currently in. | 06:41 |
| mage__ | just some of them? | 06:41 |
| jon_ | I compiled the latest from source but I am still having playback issues its almost as if the codecs aren't installed | 06:41 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalace: hahaha... yeah, I can imagine - I'm trying to dig around for you a bit (though I'm not on an Ubuntu machine at the momnt) | 06:42 |
| jesse | in the Pictures Directory ? | 06:42 |
| jesse | or either or | 06:42 |
| mage__ | mnemonica: if its just some of them, its probably the emulator cant do it 100% | 06:42 |
| docgnome | jesse: so that will move picture.png up one directory | 06:42 |
| docgnome | jesse: in the Pictures directory | 06:42 |
| mnemonica | mage__: Eh... It's pretty much all of them. Either the sound is really choppy or it doesn't load at all... For instance, using mednagen, the sound doesn't even load. | 06:42 |
| alecw1 | jesse: ./ stands for the current directory, and each subsequent '.' adds one more parent. | 06:42 |
| jesse | i c | 06:43 |
| jesse | let me give that a shot thank you | 06:43 |
| IcemanV9 | mv -v ~/Documents/Pictures/picture.png ~/Documents/picture.png | 06:43 |
| balleyne | jesse: You can run the mv command in any directory, but you'll need to change the paths for the filename and to the Location to be relative to the directory that you're in | 06:43 |
| alecw1 | jesse: ~ stands for the home directory (/home/YOURNAMEHERE) | 06:44 |
| mnemonica | mage__: Would you like to see the error message I'm getting...? | 06:44 |
| rsvampire | Hey, I'm having problems with Ubuntu detecting my onboard sound even though it's disabled in my BIOS... can anyone help me out? | 06:44 |
| docgnome | jesse: I suggest you find a tutorial on the command line. Or pick up a book about it, such as Just Enough Unix | 06:44 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: howdy. | 06:44 |
| MasterShrek | find out what driver is being loaded and blacklist it | 06:44 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: still no luck? | 06:44 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: ... are you sure you have the notification applet on your panel? a bit of a far fetched guess, but if that's gone then nm-applet will have no where to appear | 06:44 |
| mage__ | mednagen an emulator or game? | 06:45 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: hey hey! | 06:45 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: I'm baaaaack! :P | 06:45 |
| mnemonica | mage__: Mednafen is an emulator | 06:45 |
| mage__ | mnemonica: sure, pastebin or privmsg | 06:45 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: if you open a program like say... pidgin, will that appear in the notification area? | 06:45 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: also, `ps -e | grep nm-applet` should tell you for sure if the applet is running (whether or not you can see it) | 06:45 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: lsmod | grep snd <-- pastebin the output | 06:45 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: well I found another program called gconf-editor and in the ALSA mixer settings it still says "use ALSA:HW:0" | 06:46 |
| mage__ | oh an all in one, interesting | 06:46 |
| jesse | it worked thank you for your help and yes i may just go get a book its a bit comfusing but thanks everyone | 06:46 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: I didn't have to use that. lemme see If I can remember | 06:46 |

| mnemonica | mage__: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48172/ | 06:49 |
| mage__ | mnemonica: does sound work on your computer normally? | 06:49 |
| mnemonica | mage__: Yep. | 06:49 |
| mnemonica | mage__: Sure does. Everything else works fine. | 06:49 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: sorry, maybe it just says "Add" or something? when you right-click a blank area of the panel? (assuming you're in Gnome and not KDE or XFCE) | 06:49 |
| jahisthebalance | is says add to panel... | 06:49 |
| mage__ | odd, it shouldn't complain about /dev/dsp then | 06:49 |
| docgnome | balleyne: yes, it does. | 06:50 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: try sudo rmmod snd_via82xx | 06:50 |
| elkbuntu | gah | 06:50 |
| docgnome | MasterShrek: it's a problem with setting the right default soundcard | 06:50 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: ok, yeah, that's what you want. Click than, then select something that says Notification Area or something like that from the list, and drag it to the top left where those icons should be appearing | 06:50 |
| docgnome | MasterShrek: he has onboard sound and a soundblaster card | 06:50 |
| MasterShrek | docgnome: he wants it totally disabled though | 06:50 |
| RoDoX | folks, hi! if i install some KDE app on a gnome-based distro (e.g. ubuntu), will it work properly or not? | 06:50 |
| docgnome | MasterShrek: and he want wants to use the sound blaster no the onboard card | 06:51 |
| jahisthebalance | oh, you just add a notification area, sweet | 06:51 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: ok just did that | 06:51 |
| jahisthebalance | thanks a lot | 06:51 |
| crdlb | RoDoX: it will work, but it will use a lot of memory | 06:51 |
| mage__ | MasterShrek: disable an onboard sound card? thats what the bios is for ;) | 06:51 |
| icemario | why are window managers so slow? | 06:51 |
| jahisthebalance | now I have four network managers open ;) | 06:51 |
| docgnome | MasterShrek: Aye. It won't stay that way though. I have the same setup and have to fight it all the time | 06:51 |
| crdlb | RoDoX: and initial startup will be a bit slow since it has to run some kde services | 06:51 |
| icemario | Windows Shell is so much quicker | 06:51 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: ahahaha, nice! better than none, lol | 06:51 |
| MasterShrek | its set in bios anyway | 06:51 |
| docgnome | mage__: but Ubuntu ignores the BIOS settings | 06:51 |
| mage__ | icemario: managing windows is haaaard | 06:51 |
| docgnome | mage__: and detects it | 06:51 |
| RoDoX | crdlb, more than it would use if installed on KDE? | 06:51 |
| mage__ | it didn't used to | 06:51 |
| xwin | how do I edit grub ? | 06:52 |
| docgnome | believe me, It does now. | 06:52 |
| m1k3 | What port does Remote Desktop use | 06:52 |
| balleyne | RoDox: slowER, but I wouldn't say slow - depends on your machine *shrugs* | 06:52 |
| jahisthebalance | thanks a lot! | 06:52 |
| icemario | mage__: like managing? | 06:52 |
| m1k3 | In ubuntu | 06:52 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: ok now what? | 06:52 |
| docgnome | or at least with my BIOS | 06:52 |
| icemario | what do you mean by managing? | 06:52 |
| balleyne | jahisthebalance: np! | 06:52 |
| crdlb | RoDoX: when you're on kde, you'll already be running the kde services for all your other kde apps | 06:52 |
| icemario | you just do windows update | 06:52 |
| docgnome | It's a grade A pain in the butt. | 06:52 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: did that disable it? i think that was one of them, but i dont know which | 06:52 |
| mage__ | if I ran into that I'd bitch and whine on the kernel mailing list like no tomorrow | 06:52 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: let me restart really fast and I'll tell ya | 06:53 |
| RoDoX | crdlb, so you mean that my gnome-based ubuntu will try to emulate the some KDE kernel to run it...? | 06:53 |
| docgnome | heh. | 06:53 |
| m1k3 | What port does Remote Desktop use in Ubuntu? | 06:53 |
| docgnome | Isn't it just going to reload the driver on restart? | 06:53 |
| MasterShrek | lmao | 06:53 |
| crdlb | RoDoX: no, kernel is much lower-level than gnome or kde | 06:53 |
| MasterShrek | yes | 06:53 |
| * MasterShrek headsmacks | 06:53 | |
| docgnome | heh | 06:53 |
| mage__ | m1k3: remote desktop? like the vnc sever? try port 590x | 06:53 |
| kitofhawaii | m1k3: for outbound connections, the outbound port is 3389. | 06:53 |
| icemario | will Ubuntu run on a system with 192MB of Ram? | 06:53 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: it will load KDE services and libraries and such and run your program, it's not emulation but it's extra stuff on top of what Gnome would usually be running for native programs | 06:53 |
| ckin2001 | m1k3, rdesktop is a client, not a server | 06:53 |
| icemario | or will it be swapping like crazy? | 06:53 |
| mnemonica | mage__: Any ideas...? | 06:54 |
| mage__ | icemario: might want to use icewm on that | 06:54 |
| RoDoX | but it depends on the app or it will always work that way if i run KDE apps on ubuntu? | 06:54 |
| crdlb | icemario: I'd recommend using xubuntu on that | 06:54 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: so, that takes up more memory. It's still certainly doable, I run Amaro and some other KDE apps in Ubuntu all the time, it's fine | 06:54 |
| crdlb | or something else that's lighter than gnome | 06:54 |
| mage__ | or xubuntu, thats nice | 06:54 |
| RoDoX | balleyne, no errors? o_O | 06:54 |
| BrendonJ | Hi. I'm trying to DL an attachment from <http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21625> using CURL or WGET. But when I do, I get HTML display code -- NOT the attachement. | 06:54 |
| BrendonJ | How do I actually get the attachment DL'd from a shell/command line? | 06:54 |
| mage__ | mnemonica: try visualboyadvance? emulators aren't my expertise, breaking things is :) | 06:54 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: but KDE apps will run faster in KDE, because you won't need both KDE and Gnome libraries running | 06:54 |
| RoDoX | i see.... | 06:54 |
| mnemonica | mage__: Eh, tried that one already, same issues. Thanks though. | 06:55 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | Question!? Easy fix for my microphone? | 06:55 |
| balleyne | RodoX: nope, no errors, it works fine, just know that it takes more memory to run and some more hard disk space because you need both KDE and Gnome libraries | 06:55 |
| mage__ | really? do lsof -n | grep dsp then | 06:55 |
| RoDoX | ...and some more processing, then | 06:55 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: but it's pretty common to run apps across desktop environments if you have reason/interest too, just keep the performance in mind in case there's a native alternative | 06:56 |
| tuntun | has anyone tried setting swappiness to zero? did it speed or slow your system? | 06:56 |
| icemario | what's a good reason to use ubuntu over fedora? | 06:56 |
| m1k3 | ckin2001, I know that I just needed to forward the right port so I can control it when I'm somewhere else | 06:56 |
| mosno | icemario: better repos | 06:56 |
| icemario | repos? | 06:56 |
| docgnome | icemario: repositories | 06:56 |
| RoDoX | can you tell me whtas the best distro'version': KDE or GNOME? | 06:56 |
| icemario | software libraries? | 06:56 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: yeah, though.. to be honest, I've never really noticed any huge difference | 06:56 |
| mosno | icemario: yea | 06:56 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | gnome | 06:56 |
| RoDoX | so do I | 06:56 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | it works | 06:57 |
| MasterShrek | RoDoX: its personal preference | 06:57 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: KDE vs Gnome is a never ending subjective argument - it's personal preference really, they have their strengths and weakenesses | 06:57 |
| docgnome | icemario: kinna. repositories are where software is downloaded from when you install programs with apt-get | 06:57 |
| MenZa | RoDoX, depends if you prefer KDE or Gnome. I prefer Ubuntu to Kubuntu, personally. | 06:57 |
| mosno | kubuntu shot itself in the foot by including dolphin as default filemanager, imho | 06:57 |
| mage__ | for me the best distro is the one that includes vncviewer | 06:57 |
| MasterShrek | agreed mosno | 06:57 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | I liked dolphin | 06:57 |
| RoDoX | hm...that question just poped up when i knew about the new version of KDE... | 06:57 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: ok well it worked after I type the command in but it resets after I restart | 06:57 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: welcomeback | 06:57 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: thanks | 06:58 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: i know | 06:58 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: yeah, well it would heh. | 06:58 |
| tuntun | who's tried setting swappiness to zero? did it speed or slow your system? | 06:58 |
| icemario | so ubuntu won't run on a 192MB of ram machine? | 06:58 |
| MasterShrek | i was going to tell you that but you rebooted too fast | 06:58 |
| RoDoX | so lets get to the point: whats the best thing on ubuntu vs KDE/ | 06:58 |
| icemario | isn't there a laptop option? | 06:58 |
| Jordan_U | mage__, ssh -X > * | 06:58 |
| docgnome | icemario: I'd use xubunutu for a machine like that | 06:58 |
| mage__ | icemario: it might, but xubuntu would be better. | 06:58 |
| icemario | k | 06:58 |
| MasterShrek | !blacklist | rsvampire | 06:58 |
| ubotu | rsvampire: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 06:58 |
| icemario | xubuntu is official right? | 06:58 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | gnome works great, but takes some tweaking to make look pretty. KDE looks great, love the menus, but some things take a little work to get running. In my opinion. | 06:58 |
| docgnome | icemario: yes | 06:58 |
| mosno | icemario: firefox will stil pwn you | 06:58 |
| mage__ | icemario: whats the specs on that laptop? | 06:59 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: as a sidenote, you can have both gnome and kde install and choose which one you want to use at login btw | 06:59 |
| docgnome | icemario: there are four Ubuntu projects. Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Edubuntu | 06:59 |
| icemario | Well it has 512 megs of ram | 06:59 |
| icemario | but I can only use 192 | 06:59 |
| tuntun | !swappiness | 06:59 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about swappiness - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:59 |
| docgnome | icemario: ouch. I have a laptop like that | 06:59 |
| RoDoX | balleyne, you mean to DL nd install both OSOS: ubuntu and kubuntu? | 06:59 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek and docgnome: my problem is that sometimes Ubuntu will detect my onboard sound until the asoundconf settings are loaded after I log into GDM | 06:59 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | Anyone got an easy fix as to why my mic isn't working? | 06:59 |
| icemario | yeah, it's called VMware ;) | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | mage__, especially with -c if you have a slow connection | 06:59 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: there are slightly difference philosophies, Gnome tends to try to simplify things and make them easier to use while KDE tends to have more configuration options.. I mean, the best way is to try them both | 06:59 |
| docgnome | icemario: I actually ran FreeBSD on it till the screen broke :-( it was a great little laptop too. | 07:00 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | I agree with balleyne | 07:00 |
| tuntun | kde is like sitting in front of the controls of a 747... not good | 07:00 |
| mage__ | Jordan_U: aye | 07:00 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | pclinux wasnt bad for me either. | 07:00 |
| balleyne | RoDox: http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/2007/01/30/howto-switch-from-ubuntu-to-kubuntu-or-xubuntu-or-edubuntu-or-vice-versa-610-edgy/ | 07:00 |
| tsukasa | yo guys... i have a media pc hooked into my tv and im trying to figure out a good way to control it from my laptop | 07:00 |
| RoDoX | whats the current version of GNOME? (for ubuntu 7.10) | 07:00 |
| docgnome | icemario: It was nice and fast. Course... I didn't run X so :-P | 07:00 |
| MasterShrek | !info gnome | 07:00 |
| ubotu | gnome: The GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.18.3ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 13 kB, installed size 44 kB | 07:00 |
| icemario | docgnome: the only reason I can't run with 512 is because I use VMware | 07:00 |
| Fudus | how can i control mouse wheel scroll speed? currently it only goes down once per click | 07:00 |
| Fudus | I'd like to make it do a page instead | 07:01 |
| MasterShrek | 2.18.3 | 07:01 |
| icemario | I'm actually running XP Pro | 07:01 |
| icemario | using VMware | 07:01 |
| mage__ | why in a vmware? | 07:01 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: well... my question is... do you really care that you don't get the gdm sound? | 07:01 |
| icemario | dunno | 07:01 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: you can have one installed of Ubuntu and install both the Gnome and KDE desktop environments, essentially you have Ubuntu AND Kubuntu - the caution is that you get a whole slew of apps, because you get all the apps from both, but then you can choose which desktop environment you want to use at login | 07:01 |
| tuntun | whereas gnome has all of that functionality, just hidden in gconf | 07:01 |
| tsukasa | yo guys... i have a media pc hooked into my tv and im trying to figure out a good way to control it from my laptop... any ideas? | 07:01 |
| onats | can anyone recommend a program that can manage downloads of my network centrally? | 07:01 |
| Fudus | oddly I find ubuntu faster in virtualbox rather than on the livecd :/ | 07:02 |
| onats | this program will be installed n a server | 07:02 |
| Fudus | yay cd access time | 07:02 |
| RoDoX | =/ | 07:02 |
| lonejack | problem: first installation kubuntu, Installed firefox, xchat with Adept install, he asked me admin password. Everything gone right. Now, when I open terminal, I try to login with su, the password before doesn't work. Somebody can help me? | 07:02 |
| docgnome | icemario: aye. not running X is a Good Thing(tm) though. If you wanna become a command line wizard. | 07:02 |
| icemario | what is virtualbox? | 07:02 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: Gutsy has Gnome 2.20 | 07:02 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | when I have both gnome and kde installed i got some menu item additions/changes that annoyed me. | 07:02 |
| ckin2001 | !virtualbox | 07:02 |
| ubotu | VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox | 07:02 |
| RoDoX | so KDE must be older than GNOME... | 07:02 |
| mage__ | tsukasa: what sort of control? | 07:02 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: well I really don't... but my problem stems from if Ubuntu detects my onboard sound first... then changes it to the "default" card with the asound settings... a lot of programs will still use/integrate the onboard sound anyways | 07:02 |
| docgnome | Oh right. | 07:02 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: forgot that bit | 07:02 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: so what module do I need to blacklist? my VIA82xx? | 07:03 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | kde4 is out ..soon.. | 07:03 |
| corevette | http://digg.com/linux_unix/Firefox_3_Beta_2_Testing_is_Today_Icon_Updates | 07:03 |
| icemario | is there anything wrong with running VMware? | 07:03 |
| mage__ | tsukasa: you could use vnc to bring whats running on it to your screen, or use something like synergy to share the keyboard/mouse | 07:03 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: now that I think about it... I had that problem with VMWare | 07:03 |
| mage__ | icemario: no | 07:03 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: I believe so, KDE used to have some non-free dependancies so the GNOME project was started to create an entirely free desktop, but since then KDE's non-free dependancy (Qt) became free | 07:03 |
| tsukasa | mage__, well see thats the thing, at first i thought ssh would be good since im using it to play videos... but when i do vlc via ssh it doesnt work | 07:03 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: did it seem to disable the right card when you ran that rmmod command? | 07:03 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: it was using the onboard sound for Virtual machines | 07:03 |
| mage__ | icemario: running in a vm is just silly ;) | 07:03 |
| tsukasa | mage__, not vnc, it would lag too much | 07:03 |
| tsukasa | mage__, i can look into synergy | 07:03 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: yeah, it seemed to | 07:03 |
| docgnome | Now how did I fix that... | 07:03 |
| mage__ | tsukasa: DISPLAY=:0 yadda | 07:03 |
| tsukasa | oh really | 07:03 |
| mage__ | ^ for ssh | 07:03 |
| linxuz3r | tsairox, | 07:03 |
| Fudus | no way of changing mouse wheel speed? | 07:03 |
| linxuz3r | tsukasa, | 07:03 |
| Fudus | that is most :( | 07:03 |
| linxuz3r | Fudus, | 07:03 |
| linxuz3r | sire1, | 07:03 |
| MasterShrek | then yes, bit its snd_via82xx (case sensitive) | 07:03 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: yeah in any case it's helping me learn Ubuntu/Linux a lot more figuring this dang problem out | 07:03 |
| linxuz3r | hey guys | 07:04 |
| RoDoX | balleyne, "used to have..."? | 07:04 |
| icemario | mage__: but if I want to play a game that only runs on windows, I don't have to restart, but then again, it doesn't take that long to restart | 07:04 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: heh | 07:04 |
| linxuz3r | who thinks ubuntu roxorz? | 07:04 |
| sire1_ | linxuz3r: ? | 07:04 |
| ckin2001 | icemario, wine runs games too :D | 07:04 |
| linxuz3r | just greeting | 07:04 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: alot of ubuntus power is under the hood | 07:04 |
| tsukasa | mage__, so vlc DISPLAY=:0 blah or DISPLAY=:0 vlc blah | 07:04 |
| mage__ | tsukasa: I guess I should be less vague; try doing DISPLAY=:0 someprogram | 07:04 |
| linxuz3r | ckin2001, cedega runs games much better | 07:04 |
| tsukasa | sec let me try | 07:04 |
| ckin2001 | linxuz3r, spot me 5$ a month? | 07:05 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: Qt (used by KDE) used to be under a non-free license, but it is now under a free software license - while it was non-free, GNOME was created to make an entirely free desktop, but now they're both free destops | 07:05 |
| Fudus | actually having to pay for software, what a thought ;) | 07:05 |
| linxuz3r | for | 07:05 |
| mage__ | theres also export DISPLAY=:0, and you run your command, this is assuming you've got X running on that TV computer | 07:05 |
| linxuz3r | its only 5 bucks | 07:05 |
| Fudus | cedega i assume | 07:05 |
| mozart | hello, i have an external USB 500GB MyBook driver, if i format it to ext3 then will it ask me for disk mount checks too like the other normal ext3 harddrives, coz thats a bit annoying then as an disk is mounted an unmounted several times, can someone answer this? | 07:05 |
| docgnome | Fudus: a horrible thought. | 07:05 |
| mordecaeu | i need help, my xserver wont start. when i run startx, i get this: http://rafb.net/p/RxdMfi95.txt | 07:05 |
| === Jannitax is now known as Jannita | ||
| balleyne | RoDoX: version numbers aren't a great sign of age though, but in this case I guess it's true | 07:05 |
| linxuz3r | 5bucks is worth the money to get your compatible games to be played in linux | 07:05 |
| mage__ | mozart: disk mount checks? ;) | 07:05 |
| icemario | linxuz3r: You can download the CVS version for free :) | 07:06 |
| Fudus | gnome started after kde, because of kde's old licence on kde | 07:06 |
| mozart | yes dont you know that? | 07:06 |
| icemario | of cedega | 07:06 |
| RoDoX | balleyne, i got it...and both KDE or GNOME are compatible with compiz-fusion? | 07:06 |
| linxuz3r | icemario, really wow nice | 07:06 |
| mage__ | mozart: nope, does it pop up a window and harass you? | 07:06 |
| Fudus | because qt wasn't open source at the time, hence gnome was made | 07:06 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: yep | 07:06 |
| mozart | you know when u start ubuntu it does the disk mount check | 07:06 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: alright done and done ran sudo update | 07:06 |
| mozart | on every 30th boot | 07:06 |
| mage__ | mozart: tune2fs will let you fiddle with the numbers for that harassment though | 07:06 |
| docgnome | rsvampire: what programs are doing that exactly? | 07:06 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: apt-get has nothign to do with it but ok :) | 07:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: i think there's a way to disable that, i've just never tried. | 07:07 |
| RoDoX | balleyne, i dont know...if they are both free and offers good exp to the user, so why are they different? | 07:07 |
| mozart | so the answer is yes a external ext3 drive does it too | 07:07 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: reboot now, and see what happens | 07:07 |
| tuntun | how can I make an html doc save any new contents of a text area in the html for next time? (dont say html chan) | 07:07 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: no I meant I ran sudo update-initramfs -u | 07:07 |
| RoDoX | balleyne, i mean...why a single project instead of making them different/ | 07:07 |
| mage__ | mozart: I've never been asked about checking things when I mount them, so I really dont know | 07:07 |
| RoDoX | why not** | 07:07 |
| icemario | will ubuntu work with a Intel PRO/2200BG Wireless? | 07:07 |
| mozart | how do you guys keep your external drives? | 07:07 |
| rsvampire | docgnome: WINE and Ardour and a bunch of other little programs are trying to use my integrated card | 07:07 |
| RoDoX | icemario, it does | 07:08 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: ok, probably a good idea | 07:08 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: *shrug* personal preference I guess, people like the choice, they're doing different things in some areas, plus the competition can be healthy | 07:08 |
| rsvampire | :MasterShrek alright rebooting now | 07:08 |
| docgnome | hrm. | 07:08 |
| mage__ | whats with these floodbots? | 07:08 |
| RoDoX | on my nobo, and i didnt need to install any driver | 07:08 |
| tuntun | how can I make an html doc save any new contents of a text area in the html for next time? | 07:08 |
| mage__ | tuntun: look at tiddlywiki or something | 07:08 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: also, they've got entirely different code bases.. if one was a fork of the other than I guess it would make sense for them to join up, but they're completely separate pieces of software | 07:08 |
| === KK|irssi is now known as `KK`|irssi | ||
| RoDoX | balleyne, i agree. but it seems that the users havnet noticed any difference between each other | 07:09 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: there are many other Desktop Environments too, Fluxbox, XFCE (in Xubuntu), Enlightenment, etc | 07:09 |
| c0mp13371331337 | tuntun - is php or any type of database available on the server where the HTML is stored? | 07:09 |
| RoDoX | balleyne, as far as I know, Xubuntu is a light-project from ubuntu...right | 07:09 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: oh, there are lots of differences, it's just kind of hard to say whether some differences are advantages or disadvantages is most cases I guess | 07:09 |
| tuntun | nope, just a single html doc | 07:09 |
| lucian | my CTRL+ALT+L for lock screen for some reason isn't working. how do i do it via command line? | 07:10 |
| mozart | so do you guys keep your external drives formated to ext3? and how do i answersome here highlighted as i am having a difficult time reading it all looks same and moves too fast. | 07:10 |
| RoDoX | i see...hard to tell huh? | 07:10 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: yeah, it uses the XFCE environment instead of Gnome or KDE, and a lot of other light-weight apps by default | 07:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | RoDoX: it really just a matter of preference mostly. Yes there are differences, but its not something to get real worked up about... 99.9% of the time, if it works in KDE, it will work in Gnome. | 07:10 |
| mage__ | mozart: I just use tab completion mo<tab> | 07:10 |
| c0mp13371331337 | tuntun - So I'm assuming you're using the HTML doc as a local file, not accessing it across the web? | 07:10 |
| lucian | hi IndyGunFreak | 07:10 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: you should give KDE a try, maybe not by installing it, but burn a live CD of Kubuntu (or some other KDE-based distro) to give it a spin | 07:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | lucian: how goes it... | 07:10 |
| tuntun | yes | 07:10 |
| lonejack | what is the difference between to open a terminal with root instead of 'su'? | 07:10 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: nope-a-lottapus | 07:10 |
| mage__ | mozart: I've got one drive formatted ext3 I think, my sister has it though | 07:10 |
| lucian | same stuff different day | 07:10 |
| tuntun | well actually both | 07:11 |
| lonejack | are not the same | 07:11 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: personall, I prefer Gnome I guess, that's what I've stuck with, but we use KDE at my university | 07:11 |
| abhi | hi i want to put gutsy on a new machine. i want it to have the exact same software packages as another machine I have. what is the easiest way to accomplish this? | 07:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | balleyne: lol, now that i disagree w/... I generally prefer KDE only over paying taxes and root canals | 07:11 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: still detecting and using my slot 0 card (VIA 8237) | 07:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | lucian: having probs, or just hanging out? | 07:11 |
| StEaLtHtHiEf | Please! I'm in a band, and we have a show saturday. I would like to record it using Ubuntu and can't get my microphone to work! =( Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? | 07:11 |
| RoDoX | so you guys mean that there are no apps that RUNS ONLY in one distro version and does not on another one...? | 07:11 |
| Myrtti | abhi: do dpkg --get-selections > file on the first | 07:11 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: is snd_via82xx still dispalyed why you type: lsmod | grep snd ? dont paste the output again though :) | 07:11 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: I tried running gconf-editor and editing some ALSA settings and that didn't work eiterh | 07:11 |
| abhi | Myrtti: ok then? | 07:12 |
| mage__ | Myrtti: does that include dependancies? | 07:12 |
| mozart | i am having troubles with aMSN, suddenly the app opens but there is nothing inside, this never happened before, is it because of my theme, i mean i open aMSN but the window is just empty | 07:12 |
| lonejack | Please: what is the difference between to open a terminal with root instead of 'su'? Are not the same thing? | 07:12 |
| balleyne | abhi: you could create an image of the partition and copy it over.. that would make sense for large deployments, but for a single copy there might be simpler options | 07:12 |
| tuntun | tiddlywiki looks good :) | 07:12 |
| edellingham | Hey guys... | 07:12 |
| Myrtti | abhi: get the file to the second and do dpkg --set-selections < file | 07:12 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: nope, not that I've ever heard of | 07:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: why not just use pidgin? | 07:13 |
| MasterShrek | mozart: you can use pidgin for msn | 07:13 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: there's a difference between distros and desktop environments though | 07:13 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48176/ | 07:13 |
| mozart | i dont know how to use pidgin, it never shows me all my contacts | 07:13 |
| abhi | Myrtti: and what about if I want to create large installations? | 07:13 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: but, generall speaking, no in either case | 07:13 |
| Myrtti | abhi: then there was smth with dselect which I can't remember | 07:13 |
| rsvampire | it would seem it's still showing up | 07:13 |
| edellingham | Anyone know where the hell to get the Snow Globe plugin for compiz? I heard about it on Linux Action Show and I can't find the plug in anywhere...I can find video's...but no actual plugin...anyone know where to get this? | 07:13 |
| abhi | Myrtti: I want to have a custom install. how do i do that? | 07:13 |
| Myrtti | abhi: *shrug* get a proxy ;-) | 07:13 |
| onats | can anyone recommend a program that can manage downloads of my network centrally? | 07:13 |
| RoDoX | balleyne, should i be concerned about virus for ubuntu? | 07:14 |
| abhi | Myrtti: u mean i need to set up an apt mirror? | 07:14 |
| Piratero | hello | 07:14 |
| mozart | i open pidgin give it my login and all, and then its just empty, i cant see my contacts and all the other stuff i am used to | 07:14 |
| Myrtti | abhi: sorry, got to run for shopping | 07:14 |
| rsvampire | I typed "blacklist snd_via82xx" in the initramfs file was that the wrong thing to type? | 07:14 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: well its still getting loaded...weird, how about adding: rmmod snd_via82xx to /etc/rc.local ? | 07:14 |
| mage__ | apt-get -u dselect-upgrade <-- abhi | 07:14 |
| c0mp13371331337 | tuntun - good luck with that, in that case! I know it's obviously possible if the server has sql support, or at least PHP, cause you can use PHP code that will dump the contents to a text file, then retrieve the contents of that file and put them in the text box. But without those, I'm sure it's possible, just not easily. If you find out though, let me know, cause I've been wondering how to do it without PHP/sql myself! | 07:14 |
| mage__ | google is your friend | 07:14 |
| astro76 | lonejack, 'su -' is identical as it gives root's environment, using sudo it's sudo -i | 07:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | RoDoX: i run Gnome on 1 laptop, and mY PC, and I run Xfce on an old laptop that I have. There are a couple of KDE apps that I like(Amarok, Ktorrent to name two), if you want to use them on Gnome, use them, when you apt-get install, it will resolve a bunch of dependencies, so you can use them, same w/ gnome on KDE, and gnome/kde apps on xfce | 07:14 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: no, ubuntu doesn't even ship with anti-virus software by default | 07:14 |
| MasterShrek | !blacklist | 07:14 |
| ubotu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 07:14 |
| Piratero | is there a way to check what permissions a file has through a script? | 07:14 |
| Piratero | i need to check if it is executable | 07:15 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist i guess | 07:15 |
| mosno | balleyne: either does Windows ;) | 07:15 |
| mage__ | corruptionoflulz: tiddlywiki is a dhtml ajax thing that'll edit its own data, locally | 07:15 |
| abhi | mage__: ok can u tell me how to do that with apt? | 07:15 |
| mage__ | weps | 07:15 |
| abhi | mage__: again? | 07:15 |
| balleyne | mosno: haha, true, but windows doesn't ship with much of anything | 07:15 |
| mozart | pidgin just shows me when someone is logged in, i cant send offline messages to anyone, also i cant see my contacts in the first place, what to do? | 07:15 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: that file is blank, do it anyways? | 07:15 |
| Piratero | well, another question is: is there a way to elegantly "lock" a program from a user? that way a particular user can't run in a particular time? | 07:15 |
| mosno | balleyne: indeed | 07:15 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: the initramfs just has to do with the order of when they are loaded | 07:15 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: though there's a bit of a debate whether or not you should be running anti-virus software in linux, but most people don't - however, you could install clamav from the ubuntu repos if you want a virus scanner | 07:15 |
| Piratero | whoa, there is a lot of commotion here! | 07:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: what do you mean doesn't show you your contacts?.. and I get offlne messages all the time | 07:16 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: i was wondering that too, is there a different file in /etc/modprobe.d that has somethign to do with blacklisting? | 07:16 |
| mage__ | abhi: I'm actually clueless as far as doing this, never actually done it | 07:16 |
| tuntun | c0mp13371331337: well actually someone just earlier suggest "tiddlywiki", and it looks like what I'm after :) | 07:16 |
| mozart | ok can u see all your msn contacts in Pidgin please tell me how to | 07:16 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: (some argue that virus scanning in linux is at least a help to windows friends, so viruses aren't spread even if infection is not a concern) | 07:16 |
| astro76 | balleyne, not sure where this debate is taking place, you'd be pressed to find anyone recommending antivirus unless serving windows files | 07:16 |
| mage__ | run a command on computer A, copy file to computer B, run two commands, should do it | 07:16 |
| mozart | hang on i go open it now | 07:16 |
| balleyne | astro76: true, I guess I'm thinking more about firewalls, lumping the two together | 07:16 |
| abhi | mage__: ok and what will that do? | 07:16 |
| ckin2001 | Piratero, if [ -x filename ] | 07:16 |
| astro76 | balleyne, that makes more sense ;) | 07:17 |
| MasterShrek | mozart: buddies > show > offline buddies | 07:17 |
| mage__ | oh good | 07:17 |
| mozart | wait where is that option please | 07:17 |
| mage__ | I dont have to answer his question, as I'm clueless ;) | 07:17 |
| mosno | balleyne: if the Windows folk aren't running a local a/v, they've got bigger fish to fry | 07:17 |
| Piratero | ckin2001: ah thanks... do you also happen to know an elegant way of "disabling" a specific user to being able to execute a particular program? | 07:17 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: if you want a more advanced firewall than the basic iptables in Ubuntu, I believe Firestarter is a good choice | 07:17 |
| mage__ | mosno: im running windows with no a/v | 07:17 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: I've got "blacklist" "blacklist-framebuffer" "blacklist-modem" "blacklist-oss" "blacklist-scanner" and "blacklist-watchdog" | 07:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: try clcicking your buddies menu, show, then click "offline buddies" | 07:17 |
| MasterShrek | mozart: i just told you | 07:17 |
| Piratero | ckin2001: i'm writing a program where i can toggle the user's ability to execute this program | 07:17 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: but no "my_blacklist" file | 07:17 |
| * mosno hands mage__ a large frypan | 07:17 | |
| mage__ | mosno: I've been running windows with no a/v longer than you've been running linux | 07:17 |
| balleyne | mosno: hehe very true | 07:18 |
| mosno | mage__: yes but you're elite | 07:18 |
| mozart | ok thanks i will try now, at the moment all i see is a white plain window and nothing at all | 07:18 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: hmm, im honestly not very familiar with ubuntu's module schem there, i would think in blacklist | 07:18 |
| RoDoX | good answer! i'm gonna try this firestarter! and one more thing...do you think that ubuntu (server edition) is mature enough to use as a server manager? | 07:18 |
| mage__ | oh | 07:18 |
| ckin2001 | Piratero, you could have a group setup that is allowed to execute this program, and add/remove the user from that group | 07:18 |
| MasterShrek | is there other lines in blacklist that look like they are blacklisting modules? | 07:18 |
| ckin2001 | Piratero, or, you could muck around with linux acls - quite a mess | 07:18 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: there we go... that's the correct file | 07:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: check show offline buddies, and show empty groups | 07:19 |
| === xstasi`afk is now known as xstasi | ||
| RoDoX | i mean, as a server Open source operating system? | 07:19 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: I'm using ubuntu as a server at home, but personally I prefer other distros, we use Debian and Red Hat at my office | 07:19 |
| RoDoX | and why ubuntu doesnt have your preference? | 07:19 |
| mage__ | woah woah woah keywords | 07:19 |
| mozart | ok COOL yes that worked, thank you, and i thought gnome was supposed to be simple, or maybe i am too dumb, i would never have thought of looking in there, but then i have not used pidgin before, after trying 1 time | 07:19 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: so just type "snd_via82xx" in the blacklist file right? I don't have to have a command for it or anything? | 07:19 |
| Piratero | ckin2001: thanks!!!! | 07:20 |
| tjl11 | rodox: probably because of the release schedule? | 07:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: thathas nothing to do w/ gnome, thats a setting in pidgin you didn't havge set correctly | 07:20 |
| RoDoX | tjl11, wht do you mean? | 07:20 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: the sudo thing in Ubuntu is a bit annoying when you're working with a server... for one thing.. *shrugs*.. but it's been working fine for me at home, but I'm only doing a few simpler things and it's doubling as a workstation | 07:20 |
| mozart | ok | 07:20 |
| mosno | Etch is newer than LTS iirc | 07:20 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: i think you want: blacklist snd_via82xx rsvampire are there other lines in there that look liek that? | 07:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: if anything, its a pidgin *issue*, but its really not an issue, it just installs default w/ those options unchecked. | 07:20 |
| mage__ | balleyne: sudo bash, set a root password, go from there | 07:20 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: also change back the initramfs stuff you did, and reupdate that | 07:20 |
| mozart | ok thanks guys that helped me out | 07:20 |
| tjl11 | balleyme: sudo passwd root | 07:20 |
| astro76 | !noroot | 07:21 |
| ubotu | Regardless of your choice: Please do not advise against user security policy and create a root password, please see !rootsudo | 07:21 |
| tjl11 | balleyme: I wouldn't suggest it though | 07:21 |
| balleyne | ubotu comes to my defence, lol | 07:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | tjl11: lol, you just did. | 07:21 |
| MasterShrek | nice cover | 07:21 |
| MasterShrek | =P | 07:21 |
| RoDoX | balleyne, in other words, it works properly, right? | 07:21 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: I've got a few yeah "usb mouse, usbkbd, eepro100, de4x5, eth1394, snd_intel8x0m, i2c_i801" | 07:21 |
| ckin2001 | i always just sudo sh and have myself a root shell | 07:21 |
| balleyne | I actually didnt know how to do that, but the fact that ubuntu is configured that way by default lends itself more to desktop use than server use in my opinion | 07:22 |
| belphegor | eh, i use su all the time... i'm too lazy to keep repeating sudo all the time, hehehe | 07:22 |
| tjl11 | chin2001: that's even better :D | 07:22 |
| RoDoX | is it too heavy, if compared with red hat? | 07:22 |
| tjl11 | ckin2001* | 07:22 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: ok, just copy whatever scheme is used for those | 07:22 |
| balleyne | the sudo thing is more of a general sign that it's more desktop oriented than server oriented, at least right now | 07:22 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: if the word blacklist is there, use it, if not just do whatever the others have | 07:22 |
| belphegor | but, you can use sudo su, which is the same thing... | 07:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | RoDoX: why are you asking these questions here, this si a support channel,,.,, but Debian is far superior to RH in my opinion. | 07:23 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: to be honest, I'm not expert when it comes to servers or anything, but Red Hat's got the reputation and the years of experience in that space, Ubuntu's been shining in the desktop area and just entering the server space | 07:23 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: yeah the word blacklist is used so I used it :P alright I'll reboot again and see what happens | 07:23 |
| mozart | hi there ok, another question for PIDGIN, are there any other cool plugins for it and so, stuff to make it a bit cooler | 07:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: i'm really not sure, i consider it a pretty good program to begin w/. | 07:24 |
| MasterShrek | mozart: guifications | 07:24 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: Ubuntu's been fine for me as a server, I'd try it, sure, but other distros are more mature in that respect and have been around for longer | 07:24 |
| MasterShrek | ahem, slackware, ahem | 07:24 |
| ckin2001 | balleyne, red hat is the brand name. its not free. | 07:24 |
| MasterShrek | sorry, got an itch in my throat | 07:24 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: Red Hat being the big name, something like Debian being closer to Ubuntu in design but closer to Red Hat in terms of.. proving itself over time I guess | 07:24 |
| mozart | um no what GUIfications but like sending more smiley stuff and so | 07:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | MasterShrek: what are those?.. i've heard of them but never tried them | 07:24 |
| tjl11 | balleyne: I like debian better as a server distro rather than ubuntu. | 07:24 |
| RoDoX | because the ubuntu forum has no ppl up to answer these questions and i need to know what distro is the best thing no matter if this is either for each single machine or for some opteron X2-based server... | 07:24 |
| mozart | sorry not GUIfications but more stuff for sending | 07:24 |
| belphegor | mozart, if you want some plugins for pidgin, you can always "sudo apt-get install pidgin-plugin-pack" | 07:25 |
| MasterShrek | IndyGunFreak: like a little pop up that says when people log in or out, you can also use it for when they are away, idle, stuff liek that | 07:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | RoDoX: whats best, is the last one you try, there is no "best".. | 07:25 |
| balleyne | ckin2001: it's free in the important sense, just not in the sense of cost - but CentOS is a clone of RHEL and that's free in both senses of the word | 07:25 |
| belphegor | most of them are silly though | 07:25 |
| balleyne | tj11: agreed | 07:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | MasterShrek: hm, where do i get it? | 07:25 |
| mozart | ok cool thats sounds nice, i will check it now, does it have the extra smilies | 07:25 |
| mage__ | RoDoX: think of distro as how it comes out of the box, and you can change it however you want. | 07:25 |
| RoDoX | true, but there is 'better than'..isnt there? | 07:26 |
| belphegor | i don't think so but it does add a lot more features | 07:26 |
| MasterShrek | IndyGunFreak: well to be honest, i dont know in ubuntu lol, you it may be part of a plugins package in apt somewhere, else theres always the old fashioned way | 07:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | RoDoX: but nobody can tell you what's better, what works for some, doesn't work for others, fact of life. | 07:26 |
| ckin2001 | IndyGunFreak, that may be true, but debians better | 07:26 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: I also re-updated my initramf file as well | 07:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | MasterShrek: well, i was thinking the old fashioned away anyways | 07:26 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: yeah, agreed... "better than" meaning less tweaking...some distros are more well suited for certain uses, so you don't need to customize the software as much | 07:26 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: hey hey! it's gone... fantastic | 07:26 |
| RoDoX | sorry about this, but im a new dumb in the linux world.... | 07:26 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: good luck :) | 07:26 |
| MasterShrek | awesome | 07:26 |
| RoDoX | balleyne said everything. | 07:27 |
| perfector | anyone using moblock or ipblock tell me which ones better... | 07:27 |
| MasterShrek | IndyGunFreak: lemme find you a link | 07:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | ckin2001: i agree, but the thing is, if you have some major hardware prob, etc, that you can't overcome in Debian, but you can in say, Redhat, then you're probably going to use redhat. | 07:27 |
| mage__ | RoDoX: I'm using ubuntu because both redhat and debian bit me in the ass as far as upgrading packages goes | 07:27 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: that was seriously an annoying issue! so I have a question... even though it's disabled in the BIOS why was Ubuntu still detecting and using it? | 07:27 |
| belphegor | they only real difference between distros are the package managers, and the repos... haha | 07:27 |
| balleyne | RoDoX: haha, I don't mind, I'm only a few months ahead of you - dig around online, there are lots of good linux mags and blogs and such out there, I've been taking everything in daily via RSS feeds and just learning everything I can | 07:27 |
| mage__ | IndyGunFreak: could just use redhat kernel in debian ;) | 07:27 |

| c0mp13371331337 | ppcguy - Yup, it's called the Ubuntu Live CD. It will take care of ALL your Windows problems! | 07:38 |
| ppcguy | thanks, looking through that site right now | 07:38 |
| * Jay-Oh-En can see you | 07:38 | |
| ppcguy | I do a lot of trouble shooting for my job, and just think it would be a lot easier with a live disk | 07:39 |
| Hyperblade | hi iv just got my comp and want 2 no if frostwire with go with my Ubuntu softwere | 07:39 |
| balleyne | ppcguy: I think it's more useful for recovery, either getting files, repartitioning things, resetting windows passwords, etc - its great for that. Not sure that it'll scan for viruses though or anything | 07:39 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: so what distro/version are you running man? | 07:39 |
| c0mp13371331337 | ppcguy - So just very general software? Cause I know they have live CDs of tools that search for SPECIFIC viruses and malware, but I would assume you're looking for an all-in-one? | 07:40 |
| Hyperblade | would'nt know ae how do i find out | 07:40 |
| icemario | what's a good reason to use ubuntu instead of slackware? | 07:40 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: slamd64 on my laptop, slackare on my file server | 07:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | MasterShrek: how often does pidgin update/upgrade?..lol, I think i've recompiled 2x this month..lol | 07:40 |
| ppcguy | balleyne: That's the prob I'm running into.. Thinking I might have to go the morphix route and just make something custom | 07:40 |
| balleyne | icemario: package manager | 07:40 |
| timandtom | If I have a file in /Folder1 I want to link to /Folder1/Folder2/blah.pdf, what would the filepath be? I need it to be relative | 07:40 |
| icemario | slack has no package manager? | 07:40 |
| MasterShrek | IndyGunFreak: not really sure, whats it at now? | 07:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | 3.1 | 07:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | well, 2.3.1 i think | 07:40 |
| MasterShrek | IcemanV9: it does, but slack's package mangager doesnt download packages from the net | 07:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | MasterShrek: i just compiled 2.3.0, proably 2 weeks ago..lol | 07:41 |
| MasterShrek | IndyGunFreak: i havent updated it for awhile, maybe i should and i could stop using amsn for my msn account tath wont connect | 07:41 |
| balleyne | icemario: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slackware#Package_management | 07:41 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: yeah I'm just using Ubuntu 64 dual booting XP I tried KDE but I'm gunna wait until KDE4 comes out | 07:41 |
| tjl11 | 2.3.1 fixed alot of msn bugs | 07:41 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: im stoked for kde4, not until next month i guess | 07:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | MasterShrek: i know when i went from like 2.2.1, to something else, there were some security bugs they fixed. | 07:42 |
| hadiaziam | hi..i got problem when start my web server using ssl.. it show " Syntax error on line 9 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl: | 07:42 |
| hadiaziam | SSLEngine not allowed here " | 07:42 |
| tjl11 | I'm on it right now | 07:42 |
| tjl11 | :) | 07:42 |
| * MasterShrek is all over pidgin 2.3.1 | 07:42 | |
| hadiaziam | how to solve it? | 07:42 |
| balleyne | hadiaziam: what does that line of the file say? | 07:42 |
| hadiaziam | balleyne: SSLEngine On | 07:42 |
| icemario | any reason to use ubuntu over solaris? | 07:42 |
| * tjl11 smacks mastershrek with a trout | 07:43 | |
| tjl11 | :P | 07:43 |
| balleyne | hadiaziam: did you add that yourself? seems like it's gotta be moved elsewhere maybe... I dunno, maybe the context of the line is the issue? *shrugs* | 07:43 |
| * MasterShrek wipes the slime off | 07:43 | |
| * Jay-Oh-En eats the trout | 07:43 | |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: I know! I love the new library thing they are doing! and I've been thinking about running Hackentosh OS X on my computer | 07:43 |
| balleyne | icemario: Solaris is non-free, it's not open source (though it may be one day) | 07:43 |
| hadiaziam | balleyne: yes..i add myself | 07:43 |
| tjl11 | icemario: open source is powerful | 07:43 |
| hadiaziam | i follow from ubuntu guide | 07:43 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: because now with KDE 4 you can run KDE programs naitivly in Leopard, I think OS X and Linux are gunna make huge leaps in 2008 because Vista sucks so bad | 07:44 |
| balleyne | icemario: and Solaris isn't linux, it would be easier to migrate from ubuntu to red hat or debian or suse or whatever since they're all linux, solaris would be more of a change | 07:44 |
| MasterShrek | im running vista dual boot on this machine, seems to run fine for me, havent had many problems | 07:44 |
| balleyne | icemario: so you have much more freedom with linux, at least as things stand today | 07:44 |
| MasterShrek | disabled alot of stuff though | 07:44 |
| Hyperblade | hey im iv got 4.1 i think would frostwire work with that or what should i use? | 07:44 |
| tjl11 | balleyne: actually you can download solaris for free | 07:44 |
| balleyne | tjl11: I'm talking about free in the important sense - freedom | 07:45 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: I'm just tierd of Windows in general... been running it my whole life and I'm tierd of all this DRM, CD Key, Can't Do Anything to My Interface Operating System | 07:45 |
| tjl11 | balleyne: ah okay | 07:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | rsvampire: then you'll find a linux distro you like... eventually | 07:45 |
| crazy_bus | I tried the command shutdown -F -r now but it restarted without doing a check | 07:45 |
| icemario | how big is a desktop ubuntu install? | 07:45 |
| icemario | on your hard drive? | 07:46 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: i hear you, i dont really have a reason for having vista on it, but i figure i better know about it a little bit, it will be around when i get a job and stuff | 07:46 |
| balleyne | icemario: 4-5 GB I think, depends what else you install | 07:46 |
| tjl11 | icemario: probably about 3-4GB | 07:46 |
| balleyne | icemario: Xubuntu might be a bit smaller | 07:46 |
| rsvampire | IndyGunFreak: yeah, I'm starting with Ubuntu because I'm a noob but I think I like Debian and the .deb system better than the .rpm files | 07:46 |
| icemario | nah I'll stop using VMware | 07:46 |
| icemario | I'll go native | 07:46 |
| icemario | then I have 512 mb of ram | 07:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | rsvampire: well, personal opinion, the debian package system, absolutely kills RPM, in my opinion, but tis all opinion | 07:47 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: yeah that's what Microsoft has going for it... software and driver compatibility and lots of it | 07:47 |
| ppcguy | 2nd that IndyGunFreak | 07:47 |
| MasterShrek | rsvampire: its about the biggest thing they got working for em | 07:47 |
| icemario | longhorn is coming out | 07:47 |
| rsvampire | IndyGunFreak: yeah I totally agree with you there... and that's what I like about Linux... you can have an opinion and can choose one that works for you and your needs | 07:47 |
| === `KK`|irssi is now known as KK-irssi | ||
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: yeah, only thing I don't like about Linux so far are the buggier drivers and softwares | 07:48 |
| MasterShrek | icemario: longhorn was codename for vista iirc | 07:48 |
| timandtom | MasterShrek: Nah, I think the biggest thing is wasted space, or perhaps used up RAM. Oh, you meant GOOD things... | 07:48 |
| perfector | anyone using moblock or ipblock tell me which ones better... | 07:48 |
| praveenm | hi, is there any way to transfer files using ANY im client to gtalk on winxp | 07:48 |
| rsvampire | MasterShrek: sure everything is free, and they are all very useful and pretty but sometimes they don't work as well as they should | 07:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | rsvampire: it is indeed ... i just wish i could get my GPS to work on Linux, then i'd blow away my XP partition. but I formatted, gave XP 20gigs, ubuntu 230..lol, so i dont use XP for anything but managing my GPS | 07:48 |
| balleyne | MasterShrek: I think it's also being used for Windows Server 2008 though, ran across that today | 07:48 |
| ppcguy | longhorn was indeed the codename fo vista | 07:48 |
| icemario | Global Positioning System? | 07:49 |
| MasterShrek | havent seen server 2k8, sounds scary | 07:49 |
| rsvampire | IndyGunFreak: yeah, I'll probably keep XP and just think of it as a game console by the years end | 07:49 |

| optocus | hello | 07:51 |
| MasterShrek | yea, im sick of amsn, its a pain in the butt | 07:51 |
| optocus | i installed ubuntu and i need some help | 07:51 |
| MasterShrek | whats the problem optocus | 07:52 |
| ZIDTY | i am getting error after install in ubuntu gutsy on my laptop .. it says cannot find device by uuid .. about my HD .. what shall i do ??? | 07:52 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: still helpin the noobs eh? ;p | 07:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | MasterShrek: does it actually have any advantages over Pidgin?... i've heard if you can get a webcam to work, it supports webcam chat. | 07:52 |
| MasterShrek | ZIDTY: replace the uuid in your /etc/fstab with the actual /dev/xxxx device | 07:52 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: whatup meng | 07:52 |
| optocus | i have a large resolution widescreen LCD and the resolution doesn't appear in the list | 07:52 |
| MasterShrek | Evanlec: yea, once in awhile | 07:52 |
| MasterShrek | haha | 07:52 |
| optocus | how can i set it up manually? | 07:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: ..lol, newbs?.. sup | 07:52 |
| balleyne | ZIDTY: the UUID may be wrong in /etc/fstab, you can use a live CD to correct it | 07:52 |
| ppcguy | optocus ATi or Nvidia? | 07:52 |
| MasterShrek | IndyGunFreak: i dunno, i dont have a webcam | 07:52 |
| optocus | Nvidia | 07:52 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: j/k i switched over to arch linux, so i hang out in #archlinux and they refer to this channel as noobs ;p | 07:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | MasterShrek: me either, | 07:53 |
| MasterShrek | it froze on me like twice, i was angry at it for awhile lol | 07:53 |
| MasterShrek | Evanlec: everyone does | 07:53 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: lol | 07:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: arch.. ya i tried that one... but i couldn't get myu dual displays going.. so it went into File X | 07:53 |
| ppcguy | optocus, do all the updates then open synaptic and get the nvidia restricted drive if it doesn't show up w/ update | 07:53 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: File X ? | 07:53 |
| balleyne | ZIDTY: need more details? | 07:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: trashcan..lol | 07:53 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: still usin slamd64? | 07:53 |
| timandtom | MasterShrek: Dunno how it compares to other ones, but the Xbox Live Vision cams actually pretty nice. Plug and Play on windows. Not too expensive either. | 07:53 |
| ppcguy | that's what I did. Running dual 19's here.. Worked great | 07:53 |
| MasterShrek | Evanlec: u kno it | 07:54 |
| MasterShrek | how arch? | 07:54 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: oh lol, i got dual display runnin.. | 07:54 |
| ZIDTY | i installed using live cd guys .. i m also getting mounting error in fedora 8 after install on same laptop .. i dont no what shud i do .. fedora 5 though runs fine after install but package manager isnt working in that 1 | 07:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: hmm, maybe i'll give it a whack again | 07:54 |
| firebird619 | Could someone help me? I have installed PulseAudio on Gutsy and now I do not have any sound in anything. When I try to play something in totem, it says "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" and in RhythmBox, the progress bar doesn't move when I double-click a song to play it. | 07:54 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: arch is good, i just switched to Openbox | 07:54 |
| baba | can we ask question directly in the chan ? | 07:54 |
| timandtom | baba: Yes | 07:54 |
| optocus | you want me to update everything? | 07:54 |
| ppcguy | baba: Ask away | 07:54 |
| MasterShrek | openbox? whats that a window manager? | 07:54 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: easiest way for me was just copied my xorg.conf from my ubuntu install | 07:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: lol, thats one way. | 07:54 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: yeah | 07:54 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: the only good way for me, as messing with nvidia-settings never got things quite right | 07:55 |
| different_realit | I've got the following problem: I have laptop and I use putty to connect to a linux system where I run a bash script that uses dialogs. Everything is fine. When I try to do the very same thing but using putty from a linux computer the dialogs instead of being grey they have q and % all over the place... like having frames but not with lines but symbols! Plus when I copy the file to my computer, which runs ubuntu, I CANNOT see ANy | 07:55 |
| different_realit | dialogs :((( Please any ideas ? | 07:55 |
| balleyne | ZIDTY: the UUID is a specific id for your hard drive and it's specificed in /etc/fstab so that your drive can be mounted at boot time. If you use a live CD, you can manually mount the drive, check its UUID, and correct it in /etc/fstab | 07:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: hmm, | 07:55 |
| ZIDTY | one more thing guys can you tell me how do you reply to any1 with their nick in here ??? :) | 07:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | MasterShrek: pidgin is done compiling... | 07:55 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: its a more l33t WM | 07:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | on my laptop, still going on my pC | 07:56 |
| balleyne | ZIDTY: I just type "username:" - I don't know any IRC commands, lol | 07:56 |
| timandtom | If I have a file in /Folder1 I want to link to /Folder1/Folder2/blah.pdf, what would the filepath be? I need it to be relative | 07:56 |
| MasterShrek | IndyGunFreak: got my slack build runnin on it | 07:56 |
| baba | i try to install ubuntu on a box with a bad cd-drive... i can boot the live cd but theres a problem in the install... can i download the iso and mount it directly in the live cd? | 07:56 |
| ZIDTY | :) | 07:56 |
| baba | or can i do a network install when im on the live cd? | 07:56 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: why are u guys compiling pidgin? ;p | 07:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: new version.. and MasterShrek was using a version from like 3mo ago..lol | 07:57 |
| balleyne | baba: are you sure it's a bad CD drive? have you done a check to make sure it's not a bad CD? | 07:57 |
| MasterShrek | Evanlec: slamd64 doesnt have a package for 2.3.1 | 07:57 |
| MasterShrek | and its got msn updates i guess | 07:57 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: ah | 07:57 |
| MasterShrek | and my msn doesnt work in pidgin, i use amsn and its a pain | 07:57 |
| timandtom | baba: What version are you trying to do? I had trouble burning the latest one, took me about 3 tries to make a good cd. | 07:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | MasterShrek: you didn't see that security release on Pidgin? it was something to do w/ remote crashing. | 07:57 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: hmm, let me check the arch repos ;) | 07:57 |
| baba | i did no problem on the cd its just my cd drive stop spinning for no reason sometime... | 07:57 |
| ZIDTY | thnx guys i will try changin stuff in etc/fstab then consult more :) | 07:57 |
| baba | timandtom the enw one... | 07:57 |
| IcemanV9 | ahh! ... slamd64 = slackware for amd 64 | 07:57 |
| balleyne | baba: have you done a check disk thing though on the live CD menu? you might want to do that to ensure the integrity of your disk | 07:58 |
| docgnome | IcemanV9: sounds more like a video game | 07:58 |
| MasterShrek | IcemanV9: its an unofficial port, but yes | 07:58 |
| baba | balleyne i did and theres no problem on it... | 07:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: i might try arch again on my laptop... ... | 07:58 |
| tuntun | baba: maybe the laser diode is failing... | 07:58 |
| optocus | how do i update? | 07:58 |
| timandtom | baba: Only thing I can think of is to check the integrity... If thats not it, I can't help :) I installed about 2 weeks ago | 07:59 |
| MasterShrek | docgnome: you must have had an n64 =P | 07:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | optocus: update what? | 07:59 |
| docgnome | MasterShrek: Yeah... Heh :-P | 07:59 |
| MasterShrek | optocus: open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get update, followed by: sudo apt-get upgrade | 07:59 |
| balleyne | baba: does the CD drive stop at the same point in the install always? (not sure of any other methods myself, but I know they're out there) | 07:59 |
| MasterShrek | =P | 07:59 |

| baba | tx for the help | 08:00 |
| MasterShrek | every single thing you install has to be compiled...what a pain | 08:00 |
| optocus | i asked how i set the resolution to a custom one and i was answered to upgrade the driver first | 08:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: im off next weekend, i might mess around with it again | 08:00 |
| optocus | ok | 08:00 |
| ppcguy | Micheru: ATi? Nvidia? | 08:00 |
| Micheru | ati | 08:00 |
| tuntun | baba: did you check the md5sums? | 08:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | optocus: lol, well that command will upgrade your distribution. | 08:00 |
| * timandtom wonders how you guys can seemingly fix ANYTHING, but can't seem to answer a simple question about file paths | 08:00 | |
| Micheru | Rage 128 pro 32MB | 08:00 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: damn im suprised, only pidgin 2.3.0-2 in the arch repos | 08:00 |
| optocus | ah ok | 08:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | !ati | Micheru | 08:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | optocus: what type of video device? | 08:01 |
| bigal | do hsf's usually have a thermal pad or something i'm about to apply new thermal paste | 08:01 |
| ubotu | Micheru: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 08:01 |
| ppcguy | Nvidia Indy | 08:01 |
| balleyne | timandtom: did you have a question? | 08:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | !nvidia | optocus | 08:01 |
| ubotu | optocus: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 08:01 |
| crdlb | there are no proprietary drivers for a Rage card :) | 08:01 |
| tuntun | micheru: you need to make a custom "modeline", google it | 08:01 |
| ppcguy | if you are lazy for nvidia get automatix, thought I don't suggest it since you won't learn much | 08:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: only pidgin 2.3.0-2?.. lol, slackers(although i think Ubuntu only has like 2.2.0 in the repos) | 08:01 |
| Evanlec | bigal: these days yes they usually come with some thermal compound on there, if u have u own paste, scrape that off first and use ur own | 08:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | ppcguy: don't recommend automatixc here. | 08:02 |
| sploodge | Is there a precompiled syslinux package? | 08:02 |
| bigal | not compound | 08:02 |
| bigal | between the fan and heatsink | 08:02 |
| elkbuntu | ppcguy, i dont suggest it because it's inherently broken | 08:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | optocus: don't use automatix | 08:02 |
| balleyne | ppcguy: automatix has a real spotty reputation, not a great idea | 08:02 |
| tuntun | micheru: you need to make a custom "modeline", and paste it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:02 |
| MasterShrek | i had 2.2.1, but i dont know if i installed that or if it was already there lol | 08:02 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: yea, well, im guessing its because arch users dont care as much about an app like pidgin because its not very 'l33t' idk ;p | 08:02 |
| Micheru | IndyGunFreak: i don't think there is a propriotry driver for my card | 08:02 |
| ppcguy | IndyGunFreak: I'm not in any way advocating it, however there are those that pop in here for the quick answer, seems to be the best way to weed those out | 08:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | ppcguy: when you recommend it, you advocate it. | 08:02 |
| timandtom | balleyne: Yeh, I have a file in /Folder1, i need to link it to /Folder1/Folder2/file, what would the filepath be? I need it to be relative so it works on different computers as well | 08:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | !automatix | ppcguy | 08:02 |
| ubotu | ppcguy: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 08:02 |
| tjl11 | evanlec: I edited the PKGBUILD, I have 2.3.1 | 08:03 |
| Micheru | tuntun: ill have a look thanks | 08:03 |
| balleyne | ppcguy: and the best way to ensure they come back for more help later on ;) | 08:03 |
| optocus | NVidia GeForce4 MX440, and the LCD has resolution 1680x1050 | 08:03 |
| elkbuntu | ppcguy, no, it's not. they come back later with much more than just a simple problem | 08:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | balleyne: lol | 08:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | optocus: ok, there's instructions on that page to install the nvidia driver. | 08:03 |
| Evanlec | tjl11: lol...u just edited the pkgbuild, what edits did u have to make? | 08:03 |
| Evanlec | tjl11: upload to AUR! | 08:03 |
| ppcguy | very true. I recant my previous statement and offer up a Vista box for sacrafic | 08:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: i was just looking at that... AUR looks very appealing | 08:03 |
| rafael_RRJJ_ | somebody already did use procmail? | 08:04 |
| optocus | ok thanks | 08:04 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: aur is indeed appealing, so is ABS (the arch build system) | 08:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm | 08:04 |
| balleyne | timandtom: the path for a symbolic link shouldn't really matter.. I mean, as long as you get it right in the command to create the link, it will then work fine on that machine - not sure what you mean about on other computers though, do you mean accessed through a network? or when you copy it over to another machine? | 08:04 |
| bigal | Evanlec, is there usually a pad between the fan and heatsink, i toko mine apar tto clean it but it was old and filled with dust | 08:04 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: tho tbh ive only compiled a couple packages myself | 08:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | wussy..lol | 08:05 |
| MasterShrek | bigal: ive heard of using toothpaste if u got no putty for it | 08:05 |
| Evanlec | bigal: i think there should be nothing between the fan and heatsink as thatwould restrict airflow | 08:05 |
| sploodge | I'm switchin' to Gentoo! | 08:05 |
| MasterShrek | bigal: i dont know for sure if thats ok to do or not though | 08:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | sploodge: see ya next week | 08:05 |
| rafael_RRJJ_ | 08:05 | |
| rafael_RRJJ_ | I configurei the postfiz, but if sending messages to the procmail, they will not. I set the procmail? | 08:05 |
| tamzie | exit | 08:05 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Anyone have any ideas on removing the color 'hints' that GNOME is giving firefox to change the color of web-widgets, certain text, etc within a web page? Because of my odd color scheme, some text gets changed to a different color, and I just want to see it how the web master intended it. | 08:05 |
| MasterShrek | sploodge: any specific reason? | 08:05 |
| tamzie | Hi all | 08:05 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: well, yea, but remember Arch has a rolling release system, whereby things are getting updated down the pipe all the time | 08:06 |
| sploodge | Gee, I'm not stupid. | 08:06 |
| bigal | MasterShrek, i have thermal paste, i didn't know if it was a crappy old pad or just a ton of dust in betwene the two (7 YEARS WORTH) | 08:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: i'm gonna have to look into arch further. | 08:06 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: including things like the kernel | 08:06 |
| MasterShrek | bigal: yea, probably time for giving your pc a good blow job | 08:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | sploodge: i didn't say you were stupid, i just said see ya next week... Gentoo is really a distro for advanced users. | 08:06 |
| sploodge | Uh, where can I find the syslinux package? | 08:06 |
| Evanlec | bigal: more likely the latter | 08:06 |
| MasterShrek | Evanlec: you dont compile your kernel manually? | 08:06 |
| timandtom | balleyne: I'm putting the links into an open office spreadsheet(#openoffice is dead, i tried), and the filepath for me is /home/brian/Folder1/Folder2/file, when it goes to a friends computer, the link wont work because it points to /home/brian | 08:06 |
| sploodge | @IndyGunFreak: I've used BSD. | 08:06 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: well u certainly can, but let me see here | 08:06 |
| MasterShrek | Evanlec: i see, what u running currently? | 08:07 |
| MasterShrek | btw is it 64 bit? | 08:07 |
| timandtom | balleyne: so i need the filepath to be something that doesnt require /home/brian at the beginning | 08:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | sploodge: well, i've used Gentoo, for a week.. just because you use it, doesn't mean you understand it... | 08:07 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: 2.6.23-ARCH SMP PREEMPT | 08:07 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: and yes | 08:07 |
| bigal | Evanlec, way ahead of you guys, its down in pieces at cousin's house just working on it an dinstalling/configuring ubuntu on his comp | 08:07 |
| Micheru | " modeline "800x600@60" 40.0 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync" what are all the numbers after "800x600@60"? | 08:08 |
| tuntun | QOTD: "just because you use it, doesn't mean you understand it..." bwahahaa! | 08:08 |
| MasterShrek | Evanlec: Linux 2.6.24-rc5 x86_64 | 08:08 |
| Evanlec | MasterShrek: lol that the latest? | 08:08 |
| MasterShrek | yea | 08:08 |
| Evanlec | nice | 08:08 |
| sploodge | Why the hell does this distro not have apt repos!? | 08:08 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Isn't that the Windoze slogan? | 08:08 |
| bigal | Evanlec, so just thermal paste the hsf with nothing between the fan and heatsink and thermal paste it to the cpu | 08:08 |
| Evanlec | havent encountered any bugs with the rc's? | 08:09 |
| simplechat | c0mp13371331337, we crash, so you don't have to? | 08:09 |
| === schlort_ is now known as schlort | ||
| timandtom | simplechat: More like "We crash, so you know what to expect." | 08:09 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Heh.... | 08:09 |
| balleyne | timandtom: oooh, I thought you were talking about symbolic linking on the filesystem level... I've never dealt with links in OpenOffice.org, but I know about general filesystem paths... so, ~ is your home directory, . is your current directory (or nothing means current too), so, just Folder1/Folder2/file would work, or ./Folder1/Folder2/file... that might work, but your friend will need to have that file in the same | 08:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | c0mp13371331337: their tech support slogan is, "Please restart your computer | 08:09 |
| Evanlec | bigal: apply a very small amount of paste on the cpu (spread it evenly with a credit card) and then clamp down the hsf, thats it | 08:09 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Dude, I work in tech support, I think it's ANY tech support's slogan. | 08:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | bigal: you should be able to google installing a cpu fan, its easy though | 08:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | c0mp13371331337: true.... | 08:10 |
| simplechat | timandtom, how about just "were just in it for the money." | 08:10 |
| bigal | the cpu fan install ins't the problem i just wanted to know about a thermal pad | 08:10 |
| balleyne | timandtom: sounds like a messy thing to do in general though, is there any reason you need to link to it? is there another way to just put the content in the file (maybe link to somewhere else within the file) or something? *shrugs*, it just seems like it's really easy for that sort of thing to break | 08:10 |
| * IndyGunFreak has no room to talk, had a CPU fan fall off a PC he built 2yrs ago...lol, still not sure how that happened | 08:10 | |
| sploodge | Hey, how do I get the Ubuntu version? | 08:11 |
| c0mp13371331337 | What's worse, I work for RESTAURANT tech support, where stupid hostesses call in, wondering why their system lost sync with the network after having been on for 7 months straight. | 08:11 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: did the cpu fry? | 08:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: no... fortunately when the PC shut down, the lady i built it for had enough sense that she knew something was wrong | 08:11 |
| wers | how do I get the opensuse 10.3 look for my gutsy desktop? :) | 08:11 |
| tuntun | evanlec,bigal: you can use your finger, smear a bit on the cpu and a bit on the heatsink | 08:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | she started it back up, on for 10min, back off... then she called me. | 08:11 |
| astro76 | sploodge, lsb_release -r | 08:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: i'm not really sure how it happened, i'm pretty anal when I build PC's, making sure everything is tight, etc... | 08:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: but she had recently moved, and i think it might have gotten jostled in the move | 08:12 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: yea, well processor must have had the safety mechanism whereby it throttles itself if it gets too hot | 08:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: who knows.. i figure it probably shut down due to heat. | 08:12 |
| timandtom | balleyne: Ok, ill try that. And yeh, i tend to do things the hard way XD Easier in the end, hard now. btw, would I need to add file:// at the front? or however thats supposed to be spelled | 08:13 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: on older AMD processors this feature was not there, and thus, losing the hsf would cause your cpu to reach 800C in a matter of seconds | 08:13 |
| xwin | I'm a long time Linux user (Red Hat, Fedora). I just tried Ubuntu 7.xx in my laptop with Windows XP Pro and now I can't boot XP. | 08:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | yikes...lol | 08:13 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: all processors today have a heat-sensor shut off | 08:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | i cant remember what type of CPU this one had, I know it was AMD, cuz thats about all I use... I think it was 2.1 Athlon | 08:14 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: needless to say the processor was fried | 08:14 |
| balleyne | timandtom: hmm, yes... I think two // would be correct... three would be part of the filesystem (ie. the root directory) - but I think you'll need to just use trial and error for that | 08:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | sounds it. | 08:14 |
| timandtom | Evanlec and IndyGunFreak: Outa curiosity, whats about safe max temp for a CPU? | 08:14 |
| tjl11 | evanlec: I can't upload my pkgbuild to AUR | 08:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | timandtom: i always figure if i can't smell it, its safe..lol | 08:14 |
| timandtom | balleyne: Ok, thanks. Ill try some stuff out, and probably be back in a few :) | 08:15 |
| Evanlec | timandtom: processor should not be above 70C under any circumstance | 08:15 |
| tuntun | Evanlec, IndyGunFreak: the well known video to demonstrate cpu asplosions is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxNUK3U73SI | 08:15 |
| Evanlec | tjl11: why not? | 08:15 |
| tjl11 | the guys in #archlinux says I'm not allowed to do that | 08:15 |
| Evanlec | tuntun: that the one from toms hardware? i love that video | 08:15 |
| Evanlec | tjl11: wtf? anyone can upload to aur | 08:15 |
| timandtom | IndyGunFreak: Good plan, haha, but I'd rather not trial and error myself to death :P | 08:15 |
| tuntun | yeah :P | 08:15 |
| Evanlec | yes! | 08:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | timandtom: :) | 08:16 |
| Evanlec | awesome tuntun | 08:16 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: watc that video its great | 08:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: watching now. | 08:16 |
| xwin_ | I just tried installing Ubuntu in my laptop with XP Pro in it. I'm a long time Red Hat, Fedora user. How come this Ubuntu whacked my XP Pro. I can't even start XP anymore. | 08:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: lol, thats hilarious. | 08:17 |
| neil_d | I am having trouble with edubuntu I have just installed it, the client boot untill the splash screen progress bar is about 3/4 done then stops can anyone help ? | 08:17 |
| alen | xwin_ You destroyed MBR with new OS | 08:17 |
| xwin_ | yeap | 08:17 |
| balleyne | neil_d: try booting in recovery mode maybe, so that there's no splash and you can see where it's stopping and what it's saying... *shrugs* | 08:18 |
| alen | Do you have Ubuntu cd? | 08:18 |
| tjl11 | evanlec you getting my messages? | 08:19 |
| xwin_ | yeap | 08:19 |
| alen | Reinstall GRUB with CD.... | 08:19 |
| === elkbuntu_ is now known as elkbuntu | ||
| IndyGunFreak | tjl11: you have to be registered tos end PMs | 08:19 |
| xwin_ | I got every LiveCD | 08:19 |
| mozart | hey guys how do i hange the colour of the fonts here, i found how to change the size, i am in X-CHAT Gnome 0.18, also how do i change the background picture, but not multiplied but just one | 08:19 |
| Evanlec | tjl11: yea honestly i dont care about the package myself, but i think u should upload to aur for everyones benefit | 08:19 |
| balleyne | xwin: SuperGrub might be handy? *shrugs* | 08:20 |
| neil_d | balleyne, how do I do that the client is just booting ? | 08:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: edit/preferences/colors tab. | 08:20 |
| xwin_ | I just run 'grub' and found supposed to be hd0,2 as location of mbr | 08:20 |
| mozart | ok thanks | 08:20 |
| xwin_ | when I tried root(hd0,2) it says unrecofngized | 08:20 |
| mozart | and how to with the picture in the background | 08:20 |
| tuntun | xwin:"How come this Ubuntu whacked my XP Pro" it did you a favour! ;) | 08:20 |
| alen | That's location of ubuntu, not XP | 08:20 |
| mozart | so i have one small picture ii want in the middle | 08:21 |
| alen | tuntun LOL | 08:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: picture in the background? | 08:21 |
| balleyne | neil_d: when it starts to boot, GRUB should come up for a second, you may need to press escape to see the menu, looking for something that says GRUB before the splash (and any instructions to get to the menu) and then select recovery mode from the menu | 08:21 |
| xwin | I booted a liveCD and run 'grub' | 08:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: that would be the effects tab.. sorry. | 08:21 |
| Evanlec | mozart: everything is in the prefs | 08:21 |
| neil_d | balleyne, ok | 08:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: the meaning of life, is in the prefs. | 08:21 |
| xwin | I know my MBR should be at hd0,2 but when I run root(hd0,2) it says unrecognized | 08:21 |
| Evanlec | indeed | 08:21 |
| tuntun | xwin: yeah but its easy to fix after a few times, just involves rewriting the Master Boot Record | 08:21 |
| mozart | ummmmm ok lemme see | 08:22 |
| Evanlec | and IndyGunFreak and i are going to give u tag-team support ;p | 08:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 08:22 |
| Jordan_U | xwin, Your MBR can't be at hd0,2 , it would be just hd0 | 08:22 |
| Evanlec | heh | 08:22 |
| alen | %C5People.. I wonder who try to install XP after Ubuntu installed on system? | 08:22 |
| === harry_ is now known as newbie | ||
| === newbie is now known as newbie289 | ||
| alen | %C5 People.. I wonder who try to install XP after Ubuntu installed on system? | 08:22 |
| Evanlec | alen: people that didnt plan very well | 08:22 |
| Jordan_U | xwin, the ",2" part designates the partition, which has a boot sector but no MBR IIRC | 08:23 |
| xwin | I got XP OS installed in D drive while C: is data drive | 08:23 |
| mozart | ubuntu can do much but not the latest games | 08:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: thats not ubuntu's fault.... complain to developers who don't write their games for Linux. | 08:23 |
| neil_d | balleyne, there is no grub, the client (ltsp) goes straight into loading the kernel. | 08:23 |
| Evanlec | Jordan_U: i believe only one MBR per physical drive | 08:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: if the games were written for Linux, ubuntu would run them fine. | 08:24 |
| mozart | how do u guys answer another person (soo its highlighted) but without opening another window??? | 08:24 |
| alen | Evanlec ? Repeat please what you said? | 08:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: easiest way, is to type thei frist few letters of their name, then hit "tab".. to autocomplete | 08:24 |
| Evanlec | mozart: type their name | 08:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | !tab | mozart | 08:24 |
| ubotu | mozart: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 08:24 |
| tuntun | Evanlec, alen: well installing windows after grub is ok if you used the right tool to make a backup of the tiny MBR | 08:24 |
| Jordan_U | By including mozart their name in our comments ;) | 08:24 |
| icemario | how do I set up a Intel PRO/2200BG Wireless card? | 08:24 |
| icemario | in ubuntu? | 08:25 |
| balleyne | neil_d: hmm.. not sure then.. and I've gotta get going. But my advice would be to find a way to ditch the splash screen at boot so you can view all the normal output, there may be error messages or at least you'd be able to see where it's stopping at - sorry I can't be of more assistance | 08:25 |
| mozart | Jordan_U: ok | 08:25 |
| Evanlec | alen: this channel is for english language, there are other ubuntu channels for other languages | 08:25 |
| icemario | !wireless | 08:25 |

| xwin | this ubuntu should have another name, huh. Windows whacker! | 08:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: but you have to make sure you send it to the right person.. sometimes if you're a bit overzealous, you'll send it to the wrong name, but Xchat-gnome generally doesn't let that happen | 08:25 |
| alen | I just wonder if anyone has succeded installing XP after ubuntu and in the end I would like to have Ubuntu and XP... | 08:25 |
| mozart | IndyGunFreak: cool i got it now its more fun | 08:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | alen: its easier to install XP, then ubuntu | 08:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: :) | 08:26 |
| Evanlec | alen: much easier | 08:26 |
| Jordan_U | xwin, Do you need windows "now" ( there is a quick fix that will get windows back and make Ubuntu temporarily unbootable ) or do you want to try to do it correctly first? | 08:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: didn't me and you go through the install from hell? | 08:26 |
| xwin | I'd been using dualboot Windows and Linux for 15 years, first time a LInux whacked my MBR | 08:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | oh no wait, that was a guy named Ethen | 08:26 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: mm, not sure | 08:26 |
| xwin | jordan, that will werk! | 08:26 |
| alen | C'mon... I know to install both... | 08:26 |
| * IndyGunFreak has nightmares remembering that install. | 08:27 | |
| alen | But separated | 08:27 |
| xwin | fdisk /mbr ? | 08:27 |
| mozart | IndyGunFreak: is there a way to change the colours of every persons text so to make it wasier to read, a bit like in the ubuntuforums.org, where the background is different, so easy to read the comments | 08:27 |
| alen | or xp first | 08:27 |
| Jordan_U | xwin, Yes, or the ms-sys package | 08:27 |
| xwin | my laptop don't have floppy | 08:27 |
| mnemonica | Hey, does anyone in here use visual boy advance? | 08:27 |
| balleyne | neil_d: maybe this might help? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-525108.html - alright, I'm out | 08:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: i don't really understand the question, are you wanting 1 color for 1 person, or 1 color text for everybody(if thats what you want, its in the colors tab) | 08:27 |
| timandtom | balleyne: Well, everything I've tried has either done nothing, or given me a General Internet Error | 08:27 |
| Jordan_U | mnemonica, No, but I own I a visual boy :) | 08:28 |
| mnemonica | Jordan_U: Meh... Probably not going to be of help. | 08:28 |
| mozart | IndyGunFreak: well 2 colours alternating maybe for every post | 08:28 |
| xwin | can I do that fdisk /mbr with liveCD ? | 08:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: hmm, that i don't know how to do. | 08:28 |
| bigal | !ati | 08:28 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 08:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | mozart: i think kvirc does something like that.. but i dont like it very much | 08:29 |
| Evanlec | aaaa noob question: how to close window in irssi? ;p | 08:29 |
| mnemonica | In general... What would one recommend in order to fix choppy sound/crappy sound in a game? | 08:29 |
| timandtom | balleyne: Which, while slightly better then ALL error, isnt much good... Any suggestions? Maybe I just missed something | 08:29 |
| sploodge | Where would I find mbr.bin in syslinux? | 08:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | mnemonica: run it under its native OS | 08:29 |
| sploodge | Because this package seems to be missing it. | 08:29 |
| Jordan_U | xwin, Sort of, it's easiest to do it from a windows install CD but you can also install the ms-sys package from apt while running the LiveCD | 08:29 |
| timandtom | Crap, didnt notice balleyne left | 08:30 |
| mnemonica | IndyGunFreak: It's an emulator... Should work... egh. | 08:30 |
| Evanlec | mozart: should be able to do that in the text highlight sections, dont ask me how, or use a script | 08:30 |
| === different_realit is now known as differentreality | ||
| IndyGunFreak | mnemonica: emulators are FAR from perfect | 08:30 |
| xwin | Jordan_U: okay will try a DOS_emu... | 08:30 |
| mnemonica | IndyGunFreak: Yeah, kind of figured that out... *sad sigh* | 08:30 |
| Evanlec | mnemonica: try using OSS driver or ALSA driver | 08:30 |
| tuntun | xwin: It will be best if you learn how to restore the mbr properly, jordan_u's suggestion is nice but you'll have to do it properly eventually | 08:31 |
| mnemonica | Evanlec: Alrighty... Will do. | 08:31 |
| Bryan | is the flash plugin still broked? | 08:31 |
| Jordan_U | xwin, I don't know if a DOS emulator would work, and it wouldn't likely be any easier than installing the ms-sys package | 08:31 |
| sayote | hi guys do you know how can i install yahoomessenger? | 08:31 |
| Bryan | sayote, use Pidgin | 08:31 |
| sploodge | Wine. | 08:31 |
| sploodge | apt-get install wine. | 08:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | sayote: lot easier to just use pidgin | 08:31 |
| sploodge | Or Pidgin. | 08:31 |
| xwin | I can always reinstall Linux but my XP got lot | 08:31 |
| sploodge | Pidgin's nice. | 08:31 |
| sayote | really? | 08:31 |
| rx_ | i cant get kde4 rc2 to install on hardy. please help. | 08:31 |
| stunatra | Yahoo Messenger for Linux is very poor. | 08:31 |
| alen | I have problems with Wine... | 08:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | didn't we just go through this w/ someone else?..lol | 08:31 |
| sploodge | Damnit! Why does the syslinux package for edgy not have mbr.bin!? | 08:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | but i think it was relating to MSN | 08:32 |
| sayote | hehehehe sorry i'm just new to ubunto | 08:32 |
| timandtom | sayote: yeh. Not as many bells and whistles as windows YIM, but works great. comes preinstalled on ubuntu 7.10 | 08:32 |
| Jordan_U | tuntun, I know you were directing this at him but I only mention this solution as it is much more deterministic if someone NEEDS windows back for some reason | 08:32 |
| chumby | i am have trouble with xinerama - is anyone using it? | 08:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | sayote: no prob.. but its ubuntU(sorry, pet peeve) | 08:32 |

| sploodge | Gaim's just an older version of Pidgin. | 08:32 |
| mnemonica | Evanlec: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48179/ <--- That's what I get when I try to select OSS for Sound playback. | 08:32 |
| neil_d | I am having trouble with edubuntu, it is stopping the boot of the client, at about the it says "Starting the ltsp client" :( can anyone help ? | 08:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | sploodge: gaim is no longer... Gaim is pidgin now, thanks to AOL | 08:33 |
| sayote | got it working now thanks guys | 08:33 |
| sayote | :) | 08:33 |
| sploodge | I'm using Gaim because I can't be bothered fixing dependencies for this Ubuntu variant. | 08:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | sayote: see, you just needed a nudge in the right direction | 08:33 |
| mnemonica | Evanlec: Or any other sound option, for that matter. | 08:33 |
| Bryan | anyone know if the flash plugin is still broke? | 08:33 |
| Jordan_U | neil_d, Might try #edubuntu | 08:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | sploodge: ?.. fixing dependencies?.. it takes like 5sec | 08:33 |
| chumby | is anyone using 2 screens? | 08:33 |
| Jordan_U | Bryan, It is | 08:33 |
| sayote | hehehehe yep | 08:33 |
| Bryan | Jordan_U, it's still broken? | 08:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: flash is working fine for me.. whast the issue? | 08:34 |
| alen | when istalling Wine and try to open it my screen get all black... Is it problem of graphic driver? | 08:34 |
| neil_d | Jordan_U, I have no-one seems to be responding there. | 08:34 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Chumby - I am | 08:34 |
| Bryan | :o well then can someone help me with getting flash working in opera? it just gives me a grey box. | 08:34 |
| chumby | hi c0mp - are you using xinerama? | 08:34 |
| sploodge | Are you using 64-bit? | 08:34 |
| sd32_ | what is the name of the next release of ubuntu? | 08:34 |
| sploodge | @Bryan, by the way. | 08:34 |
| Evanlec | mnemonica: well this is gonna be lame support but, reboot and try again, something may be using your soundcard | 08:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bryan are you using Ubuntu 64bit? | 08:35 |
| Jordan_U | IndyGunFreak, General instability causing FF to freeze up, I assumed that's what Bryan was referring to, or not? | 08:35 |
| Bryan | IndyGunFreak, no i'm not | 08:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: wierd.. i watch Youtube, etc, and i' mnot having any probs. | 08:35 |
| Bryan | Jordan_U, flash works fine in Firefox. It's just not working in opera. | 08:35 |
| c0mp13371331337 | chumby - Nope, MergedFB. Having a problem with Xinerama? | 08:35 |
| Bryan | and sploodge no i'm not using the 64 bit :o | 08:35 |
| mnemonica | Evanlec: Not lame at all... I'm really tired, and really new at all of this. In all honesty... I hadn't thought about that. Thanks. | 08:35 |
| alen | When installing Wine and try to open it my screen get all black... Is it problem of graphic driver? Anyone can help? | 08:35 |
| tuntun | Jordan_U: "it is much more deterministic" what do you mean? | 08:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bryan: you probalby need to hotlink the firefox plugin to Opera's plugin folder. | 08:36 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: hotlink? u mean symlink? | 08:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | ya, symlimk, thats what i meant, my bad | 08:37 |
| Jordan_U | tuntun, restoring the windows MBR is always done the same way, regardless of configuration and always works, If adding Windows to the grub menu were as deterministic people would not have problems with the Ubuntu installer not setting it up properly in the first place | 08:37 |
| chumby | c0mp - yea it is driving me nuts. I have two monitors - one with an onboard card and one in the pci slot - changed my xorg but cant get it working. Any ideas? | 08:37 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: heh | 08:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | its getting late or early, whatever, i gotta go play witht eh convicts here in an hour or so. | 08:37 |
| Jordan_U | tuntun, But I don't use windows, so this is only coming from what I see from this channel | 08:38 |
| Evanlec | IndyGunFreak: that sounds like fun | 08:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: lol, its a blast | 08:38 |
| c0mp13371331337 | chumby - pastebin your xorg.conf? I'll take a look | 08:41 |
| Bryan | hey it says (process:27378): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_clipboard_get_for_display: assertion `display != NULL' failed | 08:42 |
| Bryan | Adobe Flash Player: gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY); failed. Trying to call gtk_init(0,0); | 08:42 |
| Bryan | when I go to youtube | 08:42 |
| tuntun | IndyGunFreak:convicts? D tell!!! | 08:42 |
| tarzeau | does ubuntu have something like http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ ? | 08:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | tuntun: lol, long story, that woudl go way off topic for the channel..lol | 08:42 |
| Bryan | anyone got any ideas on why that would be? | 08:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | tuntun: short version, i work in a max. security prison | 08:43 |
| bigal | whats that command, dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg | 08:43 |
| tuntun | IndyGunFreak:wow... | 08:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | bryan: havge yout ried getting flasht ow ork in opera? | 08:43 |
| tuntun | IndyGunFreak:sounds fun :O | 08:43 |
| mnemonica | Evanlec: Hey, rebooted, was able to test OSS for all sound options except for sound capture. That gives me the same error. | 08:43 |
| Bryan | IndyGunFreak, assuming that means "have I trie getting flash to work in opera" then Yes. Thats what I'm trying to do right now | 08:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | tuntun: it has its days | 08:43 |
| c0mp13371331337 | chumby - also, if you get this in time, include the output of lspci. | 08:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/howto-install-the-latest-opera-browser-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon/ | 08:44 |
| Evanlec | mnemonica: wouldnt worry about capture for now, switch to oss drvier and try u game | 08:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | tuntun: pay attention to the end of that | 08:44 |
| mnemonica | Evanlec: Mmmmk. | 08:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | well maybe not. | 08:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: is that freeze up problem, is it effecting iceweasel? | 08:45 |
| lQg | how do i make ion3 my default window manager? | 08:45 |
| bigal | hey anyone know that command to reconfigure the xserver | 08:45 |
| Jordan_U | IndyGunFreak, using flash in iceweasel is just wrong | 08:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: lol | 08:45 |
| tuntun | IndyGunFreak: Is your job anything like "Oz"? | 08:46 |
| sd32_ | bigal, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 08:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | tuntun: Oz, while entertaining, is VERY sensationalized | 08:46 |
| bigal | sd32_, ty | 08:46 |
| Jordan_U | IndyGunFreak, I must admit, I seem to somehow get fewer freezes with FF3b but then again, I get none with FF2 in safe mode | 08:46 |
| markvandenborre | I have a problem on a workstation that has been migrated from 7.04 to 7.10 | 08:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm | 08:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: i'm nto having any issues, was just trying to help bryan through this. | 08:47 |
| markvandenborre | nautilus seems to hang at random moments after "doing something" with it | 08:47 |
| timandtom | Is there a hotkey to just open up terminal? Not that fullscreen, boot into DOS similar one, just the Applications>Accessories>Terminal one | 08:47 |
| tuntun | IndyGunFreak: Lol, i suppose thats always the case :) | 08:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | :) | 08:47 |
| mnemonica | Evanlec: Nope. Same problems. | 08:47 |
| elkbuntu | markvandenborre, is it on a desktop-effects capable machine? | 08:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: what about ephiphany? | 08:48 |
| c0mp13371331337 | timandtom - I've found Tilda to be rather nice for that. | 08:48 |
| Jordan_U | IndyGunFreak, Try going to a page with a bunch of youtube videos on it then navigating away from it while they are playing, that is how I have been able to trigger it fairly consistently | 08:48 |
| timandtom | Whuzzat c0mp13371331337 | 08:48 |
| markvandenborre | desktop-effects are switched off | 08:48 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Hides itself away til you hit F1, then it drops out of a corner for an instant terminal | 08:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: i surf tons of pages while youtube is running, and i've had no issues.. very wierd. | 08:48 |
| elkbuntu | markvandenborre, check if xgl is running anyway. i had a problem when i dist-upgraded this laptop that xgl was running regardless | 08:49 |
| timandtom | c0mp13371331337: Ok, i might look into that. Theres not just a hotkey for terminal? I'd rather not always run something if i can help it | 08:49 |
| mnemonica | Evanlec: Nope. Same problems. | 08:49 |
| Jordan_U | IndyGunFreak, Strange thing is that this is a known bug with flash, at least I though it was | 08:50 |
| markvandenborre | elkubuntu, even the preference doesn't seem to be installed | 08:50 |
| elkbuntu | markvandenborre, 'ps aux | grep xgl' anyway please | 08:50 |
| markvandenborre | elkbuntu, any other ideas? | 08:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: very strange... i know i updated flash in my system updates like 2 days ago(i remember seeing it) | 08:50 |
| markvandenborre | elkbuntu, I do appreciate your help, and I double checked, but I'm looking for a cause that's probably rooted deeper | 08:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bryan try epiphany browser, maybe that will fix your problem | 08:51 |
| c0mp13371331337 | timandtom - I hear ya there. Unfortunately I know of no binding for it. You could always get a keybinding program, and be able to set lots of programs to hotkeys, but again, something else running in the background. | 08:51 |
| Bryan | IndyGunFreak, flash works in firefox. | 08:51 |
| Bryan | IndyGunFreak, I'm just trying to get it to work in opera | 08:51 |
| markvandenborre | elkbuntu, besides, nice chatting you after quite a few months! | 08:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | bryan: but it freezes up,c orrect? | 08:51 |
| Bryan | IndyGunFreak, no. It just gives me a gray box | 08:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | bryan: oh ok, i thought youw ere having probs w/ it wfreezing in Firefox. | 08:51 |
| Bryan | no | 08:51 |
| _slacker__ | hi guys, where's stored the info of the partition mount???? :s | 08:51 |
| Bryan | no, in firefox it runs fine. | 08:52 |
| sd32_ | is flash plugin install still broken? | 08:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bryan ya, i have that same prob in Opera... wierd, it used to work | 08:52 |
| elkbuntu | markvandenborre, so was i until i realised this was the case :) i still dont know if it was part of the dist-upgrade, or a side-effect of letting travis play with my laptop | 08:52 |
| perfector | im so frustrated with these fonts not showing up in my gtk apps.. pls help | 08:52 |
| Jordan_U | IndyGunFreak, Havn't been able to get epiphany to crash yet | 08:52 |
| _slacker__ | i changed a few settings and now don't mount | 08:52 |
| Bryan | IndyGunFreak, yeah >_> I know. Used to work for me too. | 08:52 |
| _slacker__ | i want to rollback | 08:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jordan_U: lol | 08:52 |
| Bryan | sd32_, someone told me it was... | 08:52 |
| Bryan | sd32_, I didn't want to uninstall just to not be able to get flash back ;x | 08:52 |
| c0mp13371331337 | slacker - /etc/fstab, would that be what you're looking for? | 08:52 |
| timandtom | c0mp13371331337: Something else USEFUL FOR MULTIPLE THINGS running in the background =] probably taking up less resources too. meh, i dunno, i think im fine as is, i was just wondering if there was a hotkey... not a big deal, for how often i use it | 08:52 |
| sd32_ | bryan,ok thanks | 08:52 |
| Bryan | 'welcome | 08:53 |
| tuntun | _slacker__: I think you want "/etc/fstab" | 08:53 |
| perfector | bryan IndyGunFreak im so used to seeing gray boxes in my gtk apps | 08:53 |
| timandtom | c0mp13371331337: i mainly just use it for the few times i need to sudo apt-get, because its simpler then Synaptic | 08:53 |
| * IndyGunFreak doesn't have a greybox prob | 08:53 | |
| Bryan | perfector, yeah. But the weird thing was is that it USED to work | 08:53 |
| markvandenborre | any ideas how to troubleshoot a nautilus that locks up really often, and at seemingly unpredictable times? | 08:53 |
| ark3typ3 | Does anyone know of a wireless Array tool to detect and measure how far you are from an AP | 08:53 |
| perfector | bryan in my case it NEVER worked | 08:53 |
| * IndyGunFreak is kinda liking Epiphany | 08:54 | |
| mnemonica | blarg... no use. | 08:54 |
| * mnemonica flees in shame | 08:54 | |
| perfector | trying to run these gnome apps in any other desktop environment can be sucha pain | 08:54 |
| _slacker__ | tuntun, no no, it's an external usb disk, i plugged it in, change a few setting on the Volume Properties, and when try to remount it fails | 08:54 |
| _slacker__ | tuntun, so i want to rollback that changes | 08:55 |
| darrend | once networking appears to stop (for whatever reason) is there ANY way at all to restart it without a logout or reboot? | 08:55 |
| darrend | "/etc/init.d/networking restart" makes no difference, nor does stopping/starting networkmanager scripts in /etc/dbus-1/event.d/ and nor does unloading all the network modules and reloading them | 08:55 |
| c0mp13371331337 | timandtom - Yup, that's pretty much all that I use tilda for. It's pretty light-weight, but you're right, a keybinding program would probably take less resources. | 08:55 |
| tuntun | _slacker__: how did you "change a few setting on the Volume Properties"? | 08:55 |
| * IndyGunFreak waves goodbye to everyone.... Have a good night/morning/afternoon, wherever you are. | 08:55 | |
| IndyGunFreak | Evanlec: i'll talk to you later, don't be such a stranger | 08:56 |
| _slacker__ | tuntun, right click on the mounted device => properties => Volume | 08:56 |
| _evo1 | hey whats the channel for developing ubuntu? | 08:56 |
| Evanlec | indygunfreak take it easy | 08:56 |
| tuntun | IndyGunFreak: go feed 'em! :) | 08:57 |
| markvandenborre | _evo1, you could start with #ubuntu-motu | 08:57 |
| _evo1 | ok thanks | 08:57 |
| markvandenborre | (mostly packaging there though, but you'll get some hints there) | 08:57 |
| tuntun | _slacker__: so what did you change? | 08:57 |
| timandtom | c0mp13371331337: Yeh =] Meh, again, I was just curious. I don't really wanna spare any RAM if I can help it, I run a bit more then is comftrble(i can never spell that, i gave up trying) as is, but ill look into tilda if i ever start using terminal more. Thanks for the help though! | 08:58 |
| n00bie | what partitioning program(s) do you recommend using? (both console and gui-based) | 08:58 |
| tuntun | timandtom: can you spell "comfort" | 08:59 |
| _slacker__ | tuntun, the fmask and dmask | 08:59 |
| timandtom | yes, but when i go to add able, i get dyslexia. | 08:59 |
| sd32_ | cOmp | 08:59 |
| timandtom | which i can spell. | 08:59 |
| _slacker__ | tuntun, i think it's gnome-volume who manage these setting right? | 08:59 |
| _slacker__ | tuntun, where can i delete my custom setting? | 09:00 |
| tuntun | timandtom: cant you do that in the same place that you changed them? | 09:00 |
| timandtom | tuntun: wha? | 09:01 |
| tuntun | timandtom, erm I mean <_slacker__ | 09:01 |
| Ellixis | Salut tout le monde | 09:02 |
| timandtom | tuntun: ahahaha :) Ok. np. | 09:02 |
| tuntun | timandtom: able able able able able able able able able able able able able !!! :O | 09:02 |
| Ellixis | Hi all | 09:02 |
| tuntun | _slacker__: cant you do that in the same place that you changed them? | 09:03 |
| _slacker__ | tuntun, no, because i can't mount the device now, i right-clicked the icon of the mounted device in the desktop | 09:03 |
| _slacker__ | tuntun, but i already solved it :) | 09:03 |
| Ellixis | I've installed a small local area network with a DHCP server & BIND (192.168.1.1). I configured clients to use the DNS server (192.168.1.1). How do I configure Bind9 if I want to ping another machine on the network by its hostname rather than its IP address? | 09:04 |
| _slacker__ | tuntun, gnome-volume --erase-setting -d <your_device> | 09:04 |
| tuntun | _slacker__: gawd sake man tell me how you did it! I need to know!!! | 09:04 |
| _slacker__ | Ellixis, http://my-mili.eu/matt/docs/dynamic-dns-with-dhcp-and-bind-9/ | 09:05 |
| _slacker__ | tuntun, how i did what? | 09:05 |
| tuntun | _slacker__: how you did gnome-volume --erase-setting -d <your_device> ;)\ | 09:07 |
| sd32_ | how do i configure xchat to have multi line entry field? | 09:07 |
| _slacker__ | tuntun, command-line | 09:07 |
| tuntun | _slacker__: /jk | 09:07 |
| Ellixis | _slacker__: thanks, I'm looking at it | 09:09 |
| lQg | how do i check which files a package owns? | 09:11 |
| lQg | for console | 09:11 |
| sharpie | i'm trying to install ies4linux but it crashes while downlading | 09:11 |
| sieben | which irc client are people using? | 09:12 |
| lQg | irssi | 09:12 |
| lQg | sharpie: get another mirror | 09:12 |
| lQg | or download it manually | 09:12 |
| _slacker__ | Ellixis, i'm using dhcpd+bind and works like a sharm, i only had problems with hostnames with underscores... don't know why | 09:13 |
| Myrtti | irssi | 09:13 |
| sharpie | lQg: ...i mean the stuf that ies4linux downloads :/ | 09:13 |
| sharpie | but actually nvm i ran it with --no-gui and the installation seems to be working now | 09:13 |
| lQg | sharpie: i don't even have that package in my apt-cache search | 09:14 |
| sharpie | lQg: cause it's not a package | 09:14 |
| lQg | what is it? | 09:15 |
| sharpie | you download it from their site.:/ | 09:15 |
| lQg | then ask them | 09:15 |
| sharpie | i already said it's working now =o | 09:15 |
| lQg | oh cool :) | 09:15 |
| sharpie | it was a python error so i ran the installation with no GUI | 09:15 |
| lQg | .ua discovery | 09:16 |
| Ellixis | _slacker__: in the link, they have ar as example | 09:16 |
| lQg | so any idea how to find the files a package owns? | 09:16 |
| Ellixis | _slacker__: they have nadir.example.com sorry | 09:17 |
| lQg | i want to find the bin for xkeyboard-config | 09:17 |
| Ellixis | _slacker__: how can I adapt it to only keep "nadir" ? | 09:17 |
| sharpie | lQg: it's in /usr/bin :/ | 09:17 |
| lQg | what's the bin name? | 09:17 |
| lQg | loki@cisma 04:17:38 /usr/bin/X11 $ xk | 09:18 |
| lQg | xkbbell xkbcomp xkbevd xkbprint xkbvleds xkbwatch xkill | 09:18 |
| lQg | loki@cisma 04:17:38 /usr/bin/X11 $ | 09:18 |
| sharpie | lQg: ...xkeyboard-config? | 09:18 |
| lQg | nope | 09:18 |
| sharpie | so run in a terminal: find / -name xkeyboard-config | 09:19 |
| vinboy | why there is no Junk Mail Control in Thunderbird? | 09:19 |
| lQg | i'm sure there is a way of checking the files, on gentoo it's $ equery files package-name | 09:19 |
| sharpie | lQg: in synaptic | 09:20 |
| lQg | yes synaptic has it, but i want to get it on the terminal | 09:20 |
| lQg | i despise GUI | 09:20 |
| paynegod | could anyone tel me the url for the repository so i can get the kernel souce for 7.04 please? | 09:20 |

| lQg | it has no binary | 09:21 |
| lQg | i checked on gentoo | 09:21 |
| lQg | loki@rurix 04:21:31 ~ $ equery files xkeyboard-config|grep bin | 09:22 |
| lQg | loki@rurix 04:21:34 ~ $ | 09:22 |

| paynegod | does anyone know the repository url? | 09:26 |
| paynegod | i cant install open source programs without the kernel source :( | 09:26 |
| A_I_ | hello I'm looking for the name of xorg.conf gui ? | 09:28 |
| A_I_ | I can find many articles speaking about | 09:28 |
| A_I_ | but never give its command line name ... | 09:28 |
| markvandenborre | (repeating my question from about an hour ago in the hope that other people might notice) | 09:30 |
| sd32_ | paynegod, archive.canonical.com/"dist name" | 09:31 |
| paynegod | sd32_, much appriciated thanks | 09:31 |
| sd32_ | np | 09:31 |
| sharpie | A_I_: there's no gui for xorg.conf | 09:31 |
| markvandenborre | I'm having nautilus lock frequently and at random on a freshly installed 7.10 machine with a home directory copied over from a 7.04 machine (yes, including hidden files) | 09:31 |
| markvandenborre | A_I_, there is displayconfig-gtk though | 09:32 |
| A_I_ | sharpie and what is this ? http://fosswire.com/2007/08/17/ubuntu-getting-xorgconf-gui/ | 09:32 |
| markvandenborre | which is probably what you mean | 09:32 |
| DeToX | Does anyone know how to keep wireless when I upgrade from 7.04to 7.10? | 09:32 |
| markvandenborre | DeToX, are you using a piece of binary, or a free(ish) driver? | 09:32 |
| sharpie | A_I_: let me rephrase that, there's no -official- xorg.conf GUI | 09:33 |
| n00bie | i partitioned my external usb drive just now, but something is taking up space... 3.84 GB worth of space | 09:33 |
| DeToX | its ndiswrapper. Found a setup script on ubuntuforums. | 09:33 |
| n00bie | what is this, and what can i do about it? | 09:33 |
| DeToX | n00bie, depending on the drive, you can't. | 09:33 |
| sharpie | A_I_: although, you have the screens and graphics dialog, and, if you have an nvidia card, you can run "nvidia-settings" in a terminal | 09:33 |
| DeToX | I have a PNY and it always has 3.8 no matter how I format it. | 09:33 |
| markvandenborre | DeToX, generally speaking, the support for non-free wifi drivers has improved, but they're always a risk, much more than the free obes | 09:34 |
| markvandenborre | what hardware? | 09:34 |
| markvandenborre | (the wifi) | 09:34 |
| DeToX | Yeah. I had it working, and I have it working now, but I upgraded and lost it. | 09:34 |
| DeToX | its a broadcom 4318 | 09:34 |
| DeToX | in a HP ze2000 | 09:34 |
| n00bie | DeToX: i've been told there might be some space for the root... isn't possible to set this space lower? | 09:34 |
| markvandenborre | don't use ndiswrapper then | 09:34 |
| n00bie | there=it | 09:34 |
| markvandenborre | couldn't you use the binary firmware with the free driver? | 09:35 |
| DeToX | I don't really know. Mine seems to be locked and there isn't a way to unformat it. | 09:35 |
| A_I_ | thank you markvandenborre but it segfault here ... | 09:35 |
| markvandenborre | if your hardware is supported (think it is) that should give you a much more stable and better supported experience | 09:35 |
| DeToX | markvandenborre, I dunno. I didn't try much. Where would I get the binary? I'm new to the whole wifi on linux thing. | 09:36 |
| DeToX | This one's pretty stable, I just want 7.10. | 09:36 |
| markvandenborre | DeToX, on a fresh 7.10 install, if I remember correctly, it should identify this, and offer you to download it | 09:36 |
| CroX | I'm getting error messages at boot which I don't know the meaning of. Anyone care to help me decipher? | 09:37 |
| CroX | [ 0.780000] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:04.0 | 09:37 |
| markvandenborre | but since my machine with a bc43xx chip died some time ago, I'm not really sure about that anymore | 09:37 |
| DeToX | Hmm. I'll have to try getting a CD burned. I have the image, but both my computers were giving me issued with the cd drives. | 09:37 |
| DeToX | it should let me download while I'm using the livecd, if it will actually work, correct? | 09:38 |

| DeToX | Hi | 09:40 |
| ubuntu | every body | 09:40 |
| markvandenborre | DeToX, not 100% sure, but I suppose so, yes | 09:41 |

| fabi_an | it is marked as "inactive" in proc/mdstat | 09:43 |
| markvandenborre | DeToX, Update (Oct 2007): Gutsy Gibbon (*Ubuntu 7.10) has native support (via the restricted driver manger) that actually works, so this guide isn't strictly necessary for Gutsy. However Gutsy's native support isn't capable of quite the same bandwidth as this ndiswrapper solution. Fortunately, this guide also appears to be compatible with Gutsy . | 09:43 |
| DeToX | Link to that page? | 09:43 |
| markvandenborre | DeToX, it's a page on ndiswrapper instlalation | 09:44 |
| DeToX | Oh. Ok. | 09:44 |

| DeToX | Ok. I'll try some stuff out tomorrow after work | 09:44 |

| mosno | BjoeHrn: that happens with me and the nvidia driver | 09:54 |
| DeToX | hmm. Wouldn't it just be apt-get install java? | 09:54 |
| mosno | BjoeHrn: but only if compiz is enabled | 09:54 |
| sharpie | newbie289: um, ok. reboot your computer and when grub comes up select "boot ubuntu in recovery mode" or anything similar, when it finishes loading type "fsck.ext3" | 09:54 |

| etfb | FluxD: if you pipe a sorted file through the uniq command, it will output only the unique lines. Will that do what you want? | 09:59 |

| sharpie | hussam: so use compiz | 10:03 |

| hussam | sharpie: how to know | 10:05 |
| mosno | BjoeHrn: dunno, worked for me. | 10:05 |
| sharpie | hussam: Perferneces -> Appearance | 10:05 |
| X704 | err, wrong person... lol | 10:05 |
| sharpie | hussam: then go to "Visual Effects" | 10:05 |
| tt__ | Could anyone tell me how to set gcc flags in ubuntu? (i cant find /etc/make.conf to do so) | 10:05 |
| BjoeHrn | mosno, mh :/ | 10:06 |
| hussam | sharpie: k I'm wz u | 10:06 |
| hussam | sharpie: continue | 10:06 |
| etfb | tt__: the flags are passed on the command line, so this questions (apparently) makes no sense. Can you rephrase or explain what you're asking? | 10:06 |
| mosno | BjoeHrn: good luck. | 10:06 |
| nomentero | markvandenborre: yes its a buggy file if u use 32 bits | 10:06 |
| sharpie | hussam: select anything other than none :\ | 10:06 |
| nomentero | markvandenborre: use this file | 10:06 |
| nomentero | http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb | 10:06 |
| X704 | ah, nm, aptitude is fixing my problems | 10:07 |
| tt__ | i mean like in gentoo , i could set the flags in a file called make.conf (which is located in /etc/) , each time i compile somethings it use my flags with just ./configure make make install | 10:07 |
| hussam | sharpie: I've that msg "Desktop effect could not be enabled" | 10:07 |
| tjl11 | ice_: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" instead | 10:07 |
| Cubexombi | does anyone in here have lirc working / or know how to set it up properly, I'm like 99% configured, but think i'm missing something, just now quite sure what it is | 10:07 |

| sharpie | hussam: what card do you have? | 10:11 |
| X704 | etfb: I think you have to use the command line to install from a disk | 10:11 |
| Cubexombi | madmarx, all my conf's and what not look ok, I copied them from a working install that i had on this machine at the beginning of the night, now when i run irw, he prompt hands as it should, but it doesn't register keypresses. | 10:11 |

| modu | could someone recommend me some good bittorrent software, that has a gui? I dont want azurues, because that keeps crashing every few minutes | 10:12 |
| ice_ | ktorrent | 10:12 |
| etfb | modu: ktorrent seems to be the best in KDE. I wish uTorrent worked in Linux tho... | 10:13 |
| X704 | etfb: apt-get install <package> will work if you have the CD or DVD in the drive | 10:13 |
| sharpie | hussam: open a terminal and run "compiz" | 10:13 |
| X704 | and the package is on the disk | 10:13 |
| ice_ | modu_:ktorrent is a good one | 10:13 |
| DeToX | I shoulda tried synaptic at first for the java. It works now. | 10:13 |
| madmarx | There are 3 files that configure lirc: (1) there is a /etc/sysconfig/lircd (or different on ubuntu?) that defines the driver and device files. | 10:13 |
| etfb | X704: it doesn't though, for some reason. I think I'll try the packages site instead. Thx. | 10:14 |
| modu | ice_, etfb: ok, thanks, I will give ktorrent a chance. And I agree, I wish utorrent worked here to | 10:14 |

| sharpie | hussam: i'm sorry, i don't know how to help you | 10:14 |
| madmarx | (3) There is /etc/lircmd.conf that is to use your remote as a mouse. | 10:14 |
| ice_ | Who has good experience with ATI Drivers? I have afew problems yet to be solved | 10:15 |
| sharpie | !ask | ice_ | 10:15 |
| ubotu | ice_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 10:15 |
| hussam | sharpie: never mind anyhow thanks alot 4 what u did :) | 10:15 |
| sharpie | hussam: np | 10:15 |
| X704 | etfb: there is a script running around online that will download all packages and make 4 or 5 DVD sized ISO's if the computer will never be online | 10:15 |
| ice_ | ok then but no one answers properly... | 10:15 |
| ice_ | i have a graphics driver, it is a ATI X1650 and i am having a few troubles with it, on start up i log on and then it logs out again... about 5 seconds after the load or it freezes, where do you suggest i go to, and there is also one more problem | 10:16 |
| etfb | ice_: The path to truth is a really good question. It follows therefore that if you haven't attained truth yet, you haven't figured out the question to ask. | 10:16 |
| X704 | lol | 10:16 |
| etfb | X704: possibly overkilll... | 10:16 |
| X704 | etfb: I don't know... blank DVDs are inexpensive anymore... | 10:17 |
| ice_ | how do i stop my ATI X1650 driver form crashing the computer? | 10:17 |
| madmarx | Cubexombi: My guess is that the /etc/sysconfig/lircd file is not OK | 10:17 |

| Cubexombi | madmarx (3) I'm not going to be needing, (1) lircd is possibly the hardware.conf (2) lircd.conf is the same that i used originally, in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf, | 10:20 |

| Lamorack | someone can help me a little with dmraid? | 10:25 |
| mosibfu_ | Cubexombi: im not planning on making an iso, a usb stick LAMP server that will display a webpage on a touchscreen in a store (for tiny workstation thing) | 10:25 |
| Cubexombi | <mosibfu_ you can still do that, but it will allow you to customize the image before transferring it to stick. | 10:26 |

Plus my cpu percentage goes up dramatically from like 2 % to 85%, even if nothing is r | 10:26 |
| Cubexombi | madmarx it didn't send | 10:26 |
| mosibfu_ | Cubexombi: its a total of 200 megs now total, all it doesnt do is liking for boot :P | 10:26 |

| mEck0 | Hi! I'm testing dual monitors between my laptop screen and an external TFT. it works but the problem is that the screen on the tft is blurry and I can see it fickering. I checked with xrandr and the screens has right resolutions, though the external tft uses 60Hz update freq. which I think is the problem because it should use 75Hz at 1280x1024. How do I change the screen to use 75Hz in xorg.conf? | 10:39 |
| kitofhawaii | white_eagle: ati problems have been fixed in the newer ati drivers. however, there is no expected date the new drivers will be available on repo's. it will probably be the hardy release before we see some of the major bug fixes | 10:39 |

| kitofhawaii | snadge: what's the error? | 10:43 |
| Twinkletoes | freddo: Gentoo is a source-based distro, ubuntu is predominatly binary - they're for 2 different sets of people really | 10:43 |
| snadge | gnome settings daemon has failed to start, or something... i would have to reboot my pc to get the exact error | 10:43 |
| Demonho-br | hello | 10:44 |
| freddo | Twinkletoes: people who can't compile and people who can? | 10:44 |
| Twinkletoes | freddo: Not really, the portage system with Gentoo is quite good actually. Don't need to know how to compile | 10:44 |
| Demonho-br | a friend of mine is installing ubuntu in his computer. but he tried many times and the installtion freezy in 82% configuring apt-get | 10:44 |
| Demonho-br | =\ | 10:44 |
| snadge | maybe he should try debian? or alternative install | 10:44 |
| Demonho-br | he tried to install without internet too, and nothing happened.. just the freezy, what to do | 10:44 |
| kitofhawaii | snadge: open terminal, and do an ifconfig lo | 10:44 |
| DanaG | The playback of this movie requires a RTP protocol source plugin which is not installed. | 10:45 |
| freddo | Twinkletoes: Do you use gentoo or ubuntu? | 10:45 |
| Twinkletoes | freddo: If you're prepared to work through a few anomalies from time to time, and spend time configuring X, go for Gentoo, if you want stuff to just "work" go for Ubuntu. Gentoo does have a VERY good documentation tho | 10:45 |
| Twinkletoes | freddo: I use both, but for different situations | 10:45 |

| Demonho-br | ikonia, what about the installation doesnt finish the configuring apt-get at 82% ? is possible to skip this step ? | 10:47 |
| kitofhawaii | snadge: lol dunno, make sure your hostname is in there as well | 10:47 |
| freddo | what's the difference between freebsd and openbsd? | 10:47 |

| kylexy | i cann't agree more,virtualBox is excellent | 11:04 |
| MozartLovesUbun2 | so should i go with VIRTUALBOX? do i have to install the tools inside it then like the VMWare tools? | 11:04 |

| MozartLovesUbun2 | what do you mean by; "non-ose version of virtualbox" | 11:05 |
| erUSUL | Lamorack: no problem | 11:05 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: enable wobbly windows in compiz settings manager, and then drag your windows around | 11:05 |
| MozartLovesUbun2 | kitofhawaii: what do you mean by; "non-ose version of virtualbox" | 11:05 |
| kitofhawaii | MozartLovesUbun2: non-opensource...it works better (like giving good usb redirection) | 11:05 |
| wiicontroller | Twinkletoes: but Only two remote holes in the default install, in more than 10 years! (in OpenBSD) | 11:06 |
| MozartLovesUbun2 | ah | 11:06 |
| MozartLovesUbun2 | ok | 11:06 |
| kitofhawaii | MozartLovesUbun2: is still free :) just uhm...well, we got a guy's ipod to sync to itunes through it (it was too new for gtkpod) so i can assure it's really stable | 11:07 |
| MozartLovesUbun2 | ok well i can't make my mind up if anyone can be so helpful to point me to a good ubuntu virtual machine comparision chart, would be great , so i will go now and do a little google searching | 11:07 |
| kitofhawaii | MozartLovesUbun2: the others (vmware, virtualbox-ose) couldn't | 11:07 |
| Sharpie | MozartLovesUbun2: juse use vbox | 11:07 |

| MozartLovesUbun2 | hey guys please tell me do i need to install any other extra packages for this to make it work better?, like extra fonts or stuff like that? | 11:09 |
| Lamorack | i dont need script help | 11:09 |
| ikonia | MozartLovesUbun2: to make what work better ? | 11:09 |
| Sharpie | MozartLovesUbun2: no you don't | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Lamorack: ok, great. | 11:09 |

| Demonho-br | ikonia, if i change the language in the installation, something would change ? i mean, the configuring apt-get will try another server ? | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Demonho-br: I don't bevlieve this is a server issue | 11:10 |
| Demonho-br | ikonia, i think it could make my installation works, no ? | 11:10 |
| Lamorack | uhm... i do "dmraid -ay -f sil" | 11:10 |
| Demonho-br | ikonia, so what do u think ? | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Demonho-br: you could open a terminal and check you currenlty have internet connectivity | 11:10 |
| Lamorack | but it doesnt "make" that 2 devices | 11:11 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: from terminal, try "compiz --replace" let me know if you get any errors | 11:11 |

| ikonia | BlackFoxTR: where did you update from ? | 11:17 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: err...what changed? anything installed/modified? | 11:17 |
| ikonia | BlackFoxTR: an earlier 7.04 package or from an earlier ubuntu release | 11:17 |

| Torchwood | when is ubuntu going to ditch flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.115 ? it is *awful*. i went back to a manual 9.0.48 setup. even that has bugs, but 115 should never have been released. it will put linux back 2 years | 11:18 |
| robert___ | not that i know of | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Torchwood: flashplugin is only available to offer what adobe offers | 11:18 |
| BlackFoxTR | i just used internet update.. it's still 7.04 | 11:18 |
| ikonia | BlackFoxTR: perfect | 11:18 |

| BlackFoxTR | no such file or directory :S | 11:20 |
| ikonia | BlackFoxTR: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled sorry | 11:20 |
| robert___ | kitofhawaii not that i know of | 11:20 |
| BlackFoxTR | done | 11:20 |
| ikonia | BlackFoxTR: do you see php5.load and php5.conf in thre ? | 11:20 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: in terminal "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep composite" do you get anything? | 11:21 |
| BlackFoxTR | nope | 11:21 |
| ikonia | BlackFoxTR: dpkg -l | grep php5 | 11:21 |

| robert___ | No | 11:22 |
| ikonia | miko3k: PATH - in what respect | 11:22 |
| BlackFoxTR | ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.2.1-0ubuntu1.5 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting languag | 11:22 |
| ikonia | miko3k: PATH will get set by bashrc when you open a shell | 11:22 |

| judgement07 | hello all... is there a shipit request for xubuntu or fluxubuntu free live cds? | 11:23 |
| Torchwood | kitofhawaii: cat somefile | grep something, is a bad construction imo. cat is almost never needed in the shell. but each to his own, i guess ... | 11:23 |
| arcane_ | Also I just installed the xubuntu pack trying to use xfce and I think it was a bad idea, how can I switch back from xfce4? | 11:23 |
| arcane_ | to.. whatever it is I was on before. | 11:23 |
| mavi- | judgement07: no i dont think those spins have the finances to ship free cds | 11:23 |
| miko3k | ikonia yes. it seems so. but i want to get my path modified _before_ openening a shell ... for example for alt+f2 | 11:23 |
| robert___ | kitofhawaii it says they cant be enabled | 11:23 |
| kitofhawaii | Torchwood: true, but i'm archaic in my unix/linux commands (old sunos user) | 11:24 |
| kitofhawaii | Torchwood: :) | 11:24 |
| ikonia | miko3k: thats the desktop not $PATH | 11:24 |
| Cubexombi | madmarx - just a heads up.. got it figured out.. turns out I've just got a touchy keyboard.. Lirc didn't quite like /dev/ttyS1q1 .. that was easily fixed | 11:24 |
| miko3k | ikonia : i tried command like echo "$PATH; cat" in alf+f2 prompt there where a path, but somewhat simplier... | 11:25 |
| Torchwood | kitofhawaii: so you haven't heard the good NeWS yet :) | 11:25 |
| wiicontroller | the people in freebsd are assholes | 11:25 |
| wiicontroller | oops | 11:25 |
| judgement07 | thanks mavi: anyways i just received my shipment of ubuntu gusty... going to give it out to friends... but i wanted to try the other 2 out | 11:25 |
| wiicontroller | I mea openbsd | 11:25 |
| BlackFoxTR | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48187/ | 11:25 |
| wiicontroller | mean openbsd | 11:25 |
| ikonia | miko3k: its not your PATH, the desktop interface doesn't use "path" settings | 11:25 |
| ikonia | wiicontroller: moderate your language please. | 11:26 |
| judgement07 | is UBUNTU the only distro that ships free live cds? | 11:26 |
| miko3k | ikonia : ok... so is it possible to have my own ~/usr/bin and launch commands from there using alf+f2 ? | 11:26 |
| wiicontroller | but they crashed my computer | 11:26 |
| ikonia | BlackFoxTR please look in /etc/apache2/mods-available for the php5 files I mentioned | 11:26 |
| BlackFoxTR | ok i see them now | 11:27 |
| ikonia | miko3k from memory gnome will use something like XDG_DATA dir as a variable to be aware of PATH's at build time. | 11:27 |
| ikonia | BlackFoxTR: you have deleted the symlinks then | 11:27 |
| ikonia | BlackFoxTR: you need to create a symlink from the avilable file to a file of the same name in the enabled dir | 11:27 |
| miko3k | ikonia ... build time does not sound very optimistic :-) | 11:27 |
| BlackFoxTR | command?? | 11:27 |
| robert___ | kitofhawaii do i need to be under x or gnome ar anything specific like that? | 11:28 |
| ikonia | miko3k: I'm not sure if it's dynamic or build time only | 11:28 |
| ikonia | miko3k: you may want to check that in #gnome rather than have me trawl the docs someone may know off the top of there head | 11:28 |
| miko3k | ikonia thanks anyway i try to google for it | 11:28 |
| ikonia | BlackFoxTR: ln -s | 11:28 |
| miko3k | ikonia yup seems like an idea :-) | 11:28 |
| ikonia | miko3k: I can help you set it, but I can't remember if thats the exact name for the variable used | 11:29 |
| ikonia | miko3k: nor can I remember if it's dynamic | 11:29 |
| miko3k | ikonia : the problem is, not how, but _where_, ~/.bashrc definitely don't get executed | 11:29 |
| robert___ | kitofhawaii u still with me? | 11:29 |
| ikonia | miko3k: bashrc is a shell variable | 11:29 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: well i'm a bit confused why your driver would work one minute and then the next...i guess. what driver is selected under system -> administration -> screen and graphics -> graphics card? | 11:30 |
| ikonia | miko3k: I can help you set it, but you need to find out if it is the correct thing to do | 11:30 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: i assume you're under gnome | 11:30 |
| neil_d | I am trying to get a edubuntu ltsp client to boot it is stopping after printing "Starting LTSP client [OK]" :( what is wrong ? how do I get it to continue ? | 11:30 |
| ikonia | neil_d: is it hanging or returning to a prompt | 11:30 |
| miko3k | ikonia : so i could possibly create a shell script and put it somewhere in gnome-session or something ? | 11:31 |
| ikonia | miko3k: there are environment variable options for gnome | 11:31 |
| neil_d | ikonia, if I hit <enter> I get a prompt | 11:31 |
| ikonia | neil_d: ok, once you hit enter, is ltsp running ? | 11:31 |
| robert___ | kitofhawaii the only intel driver thet have | 11:31 |
| kylexy | i like the game war3,,,but who can tell me how to use cedega to connect a host in LAN | 11:32 |
| robert___ | and yes in gnome | 11:32 |
| ikonia | kylexy: you'll get better support in #cedega | 11:32 |
| miko3k | ikonia : where ? | 11:32 |
| ikonia | miko3k: find out if its the correct variable first | 11:32 |
| neil_d | ikonia, I don't know what you mean by ltsp running ? it won't let me login ! | 11:32 |
| BlackFoxTR | ikonia: etc/apache2# ln -s mods-available/php5.conf mods-enabled/ << i did | 11:32 |
| BlackFoxTR | now there is php5.conf n php5.load files in mods-enabled | 11:32 |
| kylexy | really | 11:32 |
| ikonia | BlackFoxTR: does the files appear in mods-enabled ? | 11:32 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: fair enough, sounds like something went goofy with your compositing. try rebooting...i'm not sure specifically why compositing would just stop working suddenly, since everything seems set up right. | 11:32 |
| ikonia | BlackFoxTR: restart apache and you should be fine | 11:33 |
| robert___ | it was workiing earlier today could it be that my screen going into standby stopped it? | 11:33 |
| robert___ | cause that driver does say experimental | 11:34 |
| miko3k | ikonia : well i would like to try ... but have no idea how to do it :-) | 11:34 |
| wiicontroller | Twinkletoes: What's wrong with using ubuntu as a server? | 11:34 |
| ikonia | miko3k: I've told you, join #gnome and ask for the correct variable | 11:34 |
| robert___ | brb rebooting and hoping that fixes it | 11:34 |
| wiicontroller | Twinkletoes: You say you use Gentoo and FreeBSD for servers? | 11:34 |
| autoditac | hi. is it possible to use beagle instead of tracker as the indexing engine *and* integrate beagle into the gtk filechooser and natilus-search? | 11:34 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: that's the same one i have...and yes, it could certainly be from going into standby. standby is goofy in gutsy | 11:34 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: particularly when it comes to graphics | 11:34 |
| Stevethepirate | kitofhawaii: 'lo. | 11:35 |
| kitofhawaii | Stevethepirate: 'eya | 11:35 |
| miko3k | ikonia : i gess the $PATH will do it. if i just hit alt+f2 and type "echo $PATH; cat" and chcek run on terminal, it outputs something what looks very reasonable :-) | 11:35 |
| dublpaws | anyone know of a curses based word processor? | 11:35 |
| ikonia | miko3k: ughhhhh for the last time, it doesn't use PATH | 11:35 |
| ikonia | miko3k: PATH is for the shell | 11:35 |
| neil_d | ikonia, ? | 11:35 |
| ikonia | miko3k: when you do alt+f2 it launches a shell to do the command | 11:36 |
| wiicontroller | does Kubuntu come with gcc? | 11:36 |
| ikonia | wiicontroller: you can install it | 11:36 |
| ikonia | wiicontroller: gcc is in the repo's | 11:36 |
| Stevethepirate | sudo aptitude search gcc | 11:36 |
| miko3k | ikonia : so if it launches shell why can't I use $PATH? :-) | 11:37 |
| ikonia | miko3k: because it's not a login shell | 11:37 |
| miko3k | ikonia : ok.. that's sounds reasonable. i'll get to #gnome | 11:38 |

| etfb | gatestone: I need to do a couple of things before I can do private chat. Hold on a sec... | 11:45 |
| UbuntuFire | shishio: try envy | 11:45 |
| ikonia | UbuntuFire: don't recommend envy | 11:45 |
| ikonia | shishio: ignore that | 11:45 |
| shishio | UbuntuFire: envy? | 11:45 |
| ikonia | shishio: have you used the restricted drivers manager in ubuntu ? | 11:46 |
| shishio | yes | 11:46 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: ok so setting to extra won't work..."glxinfo | grep direct" do you get an opengl renderer string? | 11:46 |
| ikonia | shishio: whawt happened ? | 11:46 |
| robert___ | kitofhawaii it says no | 11:46 |
| UbuntuFire | ikonia: i'm quite new so envy worked for me so why should I don't use envy? | 11:46 |
| ikonia | !envy | UbuntuFire | 11:46 |
| ubotu | UbuntuFire: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 11:46 |
| shishio | Wine Games Suddenly quit... | 11:46 |
| Jordan_U | UbuntuFire, Come back to us after the next kernel / Xorg update | 11:47 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: did you install server-xgl? or have it installed? | 11:48 |
| robert___ | it then says to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=VERBOSE | 11:48 |
| robert___ | LET ME CHECK | 11:48 |
| robert___ | sry dont mean to yell' | 11:48 |
| UbuntuFire | well thing is that i got a ati card (X1100) and the restricted driver didn't work, so the only thing that worked was envy, since i don't understand how to install the drivers from binary | 11:49 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: that's ok...caps lock reminds me of my VAX/VMS programming days :-P | 11:49 |
| ppk|thinkpad | I have a GPU that's been blacklisted, is there any chance that I'm going to be able to run Compiz? | 11:49 |
| judgement07 | any ideas for a title for a paper on why we choose ubuntu?? | 11:49 |
| robert___ | it says cant find package | 11:50 |
| Jordan_U | UbuntuFire, Just be aware that it could cause problems and that it is not supported, you can do what you want as long as you don't ask for help fixing it :) | 11:50 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: xserver-xgl | 11:50 |
| WinterWeaver | apt-get is asking me for the Ubuntu CD ... O.o ... I thought this wasn't necessary. I dont have the disc anymore, how can I finish my install ? :( | 11:50 |
| ppk|thinkpad | WinterWeaver, it's usually fine | 11:50 |
| robert___ | already have it | 11:50 |
| etfb | WinterWeaver: that's because you still have the CD in your sources. Go into aptitude/synaptic and remove it from the list. | 11:51 |
| Jordan_U | WinterWeaver, System -> Administration -> Software Sources: enable internet, remove CD | 11:51 |
| WinterWeaver | ah | 11:51 |
| ppk|thinkpad | apt'll get it from the repo | 11:51 |
| UbuntuFire | hope that 8.04 come with support then :) else i need to go to windows :( | 11:51 |
| WinterWeaver | thanks guys | 11:51 |
| helget | Where do I configure what keymap to use for incomming ssh sessions? My X is configured properly, but when I ssh to it, my languages special chars is messed up. The know the keymap I need is "no-latin1", but "sudo loadkeys no-latin1" (while executed successfully) does not change anything. | 11:51 |
| UbuntuFire | !ndiswrapper | 11:51 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 11:51 |
| Jordan_U | UbuntuFire, It most likely will, | 11:52 |

| BB88 | Hello. Anybody know of a quick and easy Convert .avi to DVD program for ubuntu? | 11:52 |
| UbuntuFire | Someone understand why ndiswrapper cause a "fail to initalize HAL" even if the card work? | 11:52 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: already have it...try uninstalling it... | 11:53 |
| Jordan_U | UbuntuFire, What chipset ? | 11:53 |
| Joshooa | Hey what are some steps I could take to make Ubuntu run faster? It keeps freezing on my when I'm doing the simplest stuff, like ONE web page | 11:53 |
| robert___ | kitofwawaii how do i do that? | 11:53 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: aiglx works better on your card...i'm not even sure if xgl works with the 945... | 11:53 |
| Jordan_U | Joshooa, Is it just Firefox or apps in general? | 11:53 |
| Joshooa | Mainly Firefox but the computer in general | 11:53 |
| Joshooa | Jordan_U: So maybe just firefox related. | 11:54 |
| etfb | UbuntuFire: thanks for the ndiswrapper link! That looks like it answers all the questions I have about wifi, many of which have been driving me mad. Thank you!!! | 11:54 |
| Jordan_U | Joshooa, Try FF3 beta 1, it's pretty darn stable and MUCH faster | 11:54 |
| robert___ | wats aiglx | 11:54 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: ah...let's disable it instead then "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 11:54 |
| robert___ | !aiglx | 11:54 |
| ubotu | AIGLX is a project that aims to enable GL-accelerated effects on a standard desktop. Supported cards: Nvidia: GeForce3 or newer; ATI: Radeon 7000 through X800; Intel: i810 or newer. Howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/AIGLX. For older Nvidia or newer ATI cards see !xgl | 11:54 |
| UbuntuFire | Jordan_U: AR5006EG | 11:54 |
| Joshooa | Jordan_U: K, and what about stuff I could do to the computer? Cause my menus and stuff are slow sometimes too | 11:54 |
| robert___ | now that thats open what do i do? | 11:55 |
| ricanelite | why is that when I'm using Banshee Media Player and listening to a Mp3 or lets say using any player why is that when moving windows around or surfing the web at the same time listening to Mp3's the audio drops in and out. | 11:55 |
| Jordan_U | Joshooa, Is it a slow computer or do you think it's acting slower than it should ( if the former you may want to look into Xubuntu for instance ) | 11:55 |
| UbuntuFire | btw. don't ati release info about old card so it's possible to create free drivers | 11:55 |
| kitofhawaii | kitofhawaii: add the following lines at the bottom (one line per arrow) -> Section "Extensions" -> Option "Composite" "0" -> EndSection | 11:56 |
| felich | hello | 11:56 |
| Joshooa | Jordan_U: No it can run fast, 1.8GHz, 2Gigs RAM, 512MB Vid Card and Soundblaster Audigy. It used to run faster | 11:56 |
| ricanelite | i have a good machine, Pentium Dual Core 2.0ghz, 2gig ram, Geforce 512mb PCI-E | 11:56 |
| Jordan_U | Joshooa, What has changed since it ran faster? | 11:57 |
| Joshooa | Jordan_U: I've changed desktop colors, but it's been doing this off and on since I installed Ubuntu | 11:57 |
| robert___ | k how do i get aiglx now? | 11:57 |
| felich | after hybernation of the laptop NetworkManager loses all wireless connectiona, and I'm forced to reboot whole system, please advise other solution | 11:57 |
| Jordan_U | felich, Not a real solution, but a workaround that at least beats rebooting "sudo invoke-rc.d dbus restart" should do it | 11:58 |
| kitofhawaii | Joshooa: some people have gotten better luck disabling ipv6 in firefox (not me personally at least) -> navigate to "about:config" -> filter "ipv6" -> set disableipv6 to "True" | 11:58 |
| kitofhawaii | robert___: log out and log back in | 11:59 |
| Joshooa | kitofhawaii: Did that already | 11:59 |
| robert___ | k brb | 11:59 |
| Joshooa | Could it be because I'm running python stuff for Avant Window Navigator? | 11:59 |
| abhi | hi i am trying to ssh to a box (called linuxhost) on my network from my gutsybox but i am not able to connect there. however i am able to connect to other machines on my network and through those other machines i can ssh to linuxhost. what do u guys think is the problem? | 11:59 |
| Jordan_U | Joshooa, Not unless it uses insane amounts of RAM | 12:00 |
| ikonia | abhi: no dns entry ? | 12:00 |
| Joshooa | Jordan_U: K I didn't think so, it shows total ram usage at 13.5% | 12:00 |
| Joshooa | Jordan_U: And a few spikes in my CPU usage but overall low | 12:00 |

| dgjones | xyxvv, if it was Edgy, you can't upgrade directly to Gutsy, you need to upgrade from Edgy to Fiesty, and then from Fiesty to Gutsy, its not recommended to skip versions when upgrading and the system doesn't allow that under normal circumstances | 12:12 |

| kitofhawaii | [chr0n0s]: why would you want both on at the same time then? that's normal behavior, to only use one nic at the same time on the same lan | 13:31 |
| shearn89 | sc: did you add the tray icon in sessions? | 13:31 |
| sc | actually i just started using wicd | 13:31 |

| cupcake | is there an ubuntu beginners channel I can join? | 13:31 |
| mavi- | Marco81: did you check the stuff? | 13:31 |
| shearn89 | sc: did you add the tray icon in sessions? | 13:32 |
| sc | how | 13:32 |
| Marco81 | mavi-: doesnt matter.. it shuts off randomly | 13:32 |
| cupcake | hello? | 13:32 |
| shearn89 | sc: i think its system -> preferences -> sessions, then add "/usr/lib/wicd/tray.py" | 13:32 |
| [chr0n0s] | kitofhawaii, i normally use wired which comes from a 8 port switch, but when there is a power cut, it goes down, and my connection switches to wireless, but i want wireless to be connected already, so that my download continue | 13:33 |
| mavi- | Marco81: yes it matters | 13:33 |
| cupcake | can you let me know if my messages are sending out? | 13:33 |
| [chr0n0s] | the switching takes time | 13:33 |
| bazhang | cupcake: perhaps #ubuntuforums | 13:33 |
| mavi- | Marco81: if cpustep isnt running then your laptop will overheat and shutoff | 13:33 |

| jeronim | rgnr, google ies4linux | 13:35 |
| shearn89 | yonilevy: you could try (in windows) creating an iso, and then mounting that? | 13:36 |
| kitofhawaii | [chr0n0s]: ...you'll have to take the interfaces out network manager's control | 13:36 |
| jeronim | or even google: install ie in linux | 13:36 |
| bazhang | Voyage_: no need to do so; not like norton or pc-cillin--just a front end for iptables | 13:36 |
| yonilevy | shearn89, the disc is faulty [parts of it are not readable], i don't know any windows application that could generate a "partial" iso... | 13:36 |
| jeronim | it's not too hard | 13:36 |
| rgnr | jeronim: well i need only the files cuz i'm using ieciew plugin for firefox | 13:36 |
| kitofhawaii | [chr0n0s]: disable roaming mode on the wired connection and try it that way... | 13:36 |
| kitofhawaii | [chr0n0s]: but i have a feeling your download might still go down anyway since the way routing works, you are still changing IP address | 13:37 |

| kitofhawaii | [chr0n0s]: also, your connections will randomly use one or the other nic, which unless you set a metric on the nic and routes (a big pain with dhcp) to prefer the wired connection, means you won't know for sure unles you check which nic it's actually using | 13:38 |

| willwork4foo | hi... are there any ubuntu printing gurus about? | 13:39 |
| Gartral | brb | 13:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | willwork4foo: just ask your question... | 13:40 |
| kitofhawaii | willwork: one person's guru is another person's lackey :) | 13:41 |
| ubuntu710 | hi people! I wanna install on something else than ext3, like ReiserFS or JFS, will that work on Ubuntu 7.10? Last time i tried with 7.04, grub did not like to boot from JFS. So effectively the filesystem was not supported. | 13:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | morning kitofhawaii | 13:41 |
| willwork4foo | I've got a Hewlett Packard Laserjet 1020. I plugged it in, powered it on, and Ubuntu spotted it correctly and installed it. As far as the system is concerned, the printer is working fine. All except for the tiny detail that when I tell it to print something (anything, even a test page from the printer config window) it sits there doing absolutely nothing. I get no error messages. | 13:41 |
| kitofhawaii | morning Jack_Sparrow :) | 13:41 |
| jeronim | ubuntu710, you can boot from reiserfs, or from xfs if you use lilo instaed of grub | 13:41 |
| Voyage_ | bazhang how will i know for any intrussion has done... any even if i dont need to see the icon. why ... does it auto disappears..? | 13:42 |
| xyxvv | whats a decent app to have read access from ext2/3 volumes from XP? I don't need write | 13:42 |
| ubuntu710 | jeronim: so reiserfs (or any other fancy filesystem) will not work with GRUB, right? so how do i tell the installer to use lilo instead? | 13:42 |
| spideyman | when i install dosbox deb in gutsy where does dosbox save its config file? | 13:42 |
| bazhang | http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/net/snort Voyage_ | 13:42 |
| ubuntu710 | is there any guide to install ubuntu on JFS or ReiserFS? i havent found it using google :( | 13:42 |
| Voyage_ | bazhang snort is command based. i have it. is there a gui for that? | 13:43 |
| jeronim | ubuntu710, reiser always works for me with grub. i tried xfs recently and the installer recommended lilo, it was a simple menu choice | 13:43 |
| Voyage_ | bazhang and i want to see the icon changed to red when intrusion occurs. and i can see the blocked ip port in "events" | 13:43 |
| bazhang | !info snort | Voyage_ | 13:43 |
| ubotu | voyage_: snort: Flexible Network Intrusion Detection System. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.7.0-6 (gutsy), package size 455 kB, installed size 1060 kB | 13:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jeronim: ext2ifs | 13:43 |
| jeronim | eh? | 13:43 |
| ubuntu710 | jeronim: hmmm.. then i should just try reiserfs with GRUB then.. :) | 13:44 |
| jeronim | nod | 13:44 |
| bazhang | Voyage_: no idea about a gui--never use it meself | 13:44 |
| ubuntu710 | instead of making one big filesystem, i like to make a root filesystem, one for /usr and one for /home. how big does the root filesystem need to be, 1GB enough? | 13:44 |
| jeronim | there used to be problems with reiser+grub but that was more than a year ago fixed | 13:44 |
| willwork4foo | Anyone at all with my printing issue? I've found an error message in dmesg that occurs when I try to print: "[96241.662862] audit(1197639866.283:9): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="rw" denied_mask="rw" name="/dev/tty" pid=16677 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd"" | 13:45 |

| bazhang | jude: what folder? | 13:54 |

| Jack_Sparrow | xyxvv: You will most likely need to add this to the monitor section http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48205/ | 13:56 |
| bazhang | crush_groove: depends on how pure you want your ubuntu--if you want to add proprietary codecs then you need to enable the partner repositories, and maybe the one at medibuntu.org as well | 13:56 |

| zobban | i installed avidemux it does not work | 14:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 14:07 |
| bazhang | boris_: just a moment, let me check | 14:08 |
| nyc-h0st | what world cant delete a file even if he has permissions to do so? | 14:08 |
| PPreda | greetings all, I want to have cpufreq always use powersave mode on my laptop on every startup if I ever shut it down, how can I make it stiky? | 14:08 |
| kitofhawaii | biabia: yah...atheros chipset if you can get it. but if your dsl modem is operating as a wlan router it's also operating as a router for your wired connection | 14:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Myrtti: There should be no second chances for that.. | 14:08 |
| _ruben | nyc-h0st: perhaps mysql still uses the file which would prevent you from deleting it | 14:08 |
| void^ | zobban: works for me. perhaps you want to ask a more specific question. | 14:08 |
| nyc-h0st | it doesnt | 14:09 |
| biabia | kitofhawaii: atheros chipset in the wireless card (if i choose to go that route) ? | 14:09 |
| kitofhawaii | biabia: yah, atheros has the best support in linux (madwifi0 | 14:09 |
| zobban | i start avidemux and i open file mymovie.wvm it starts loadin 44sec to whait then it closes down | 14:09 |
| nyc-h0st | mysql purposly makes the file rw by everyone | 14:09 |
| wiicontroller | How do I do wireless in ubuntu? | 14:10 |
| Myrtti | Jack_Sparrow: I'm feeling Christmasy | 14:10 |
| dgjones | !wireless > wiicontroller | 14:10 |
| kitofhawaii | nyc-h0st: just out of curiosity, sudo rm file does that work? if not, there might be a leftover lock | 14:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nyc-h0st: I will bow out on this... and finish my coffee... didnt see that you were working with mysql earlier | 14:10 |
| Marco81 | does ubuntu live cd have madwifi? | 14:10 |
| dns_en | I was hoping someone could help with an open ssl problem | 14:11 |
| kitofhawaii | marco81: it's not installed by default but it's available yes | 14:11 |
| biabia | Thanks Jack_Sparrow, kitofhawaii. bbl | 14:11 |
| bazhang | boris_: you want to use datapilot, or something similar | 14:11 |
| kitofhawaii | marco81: sorry, misread. i don't know i've always gone with a wired connection on livecd | 14:11 |
| boris_ | bazhang: | 14:11 |
| void^ | zobban: your question is how to edit a wmv file then. i'm not sure if there is any software that can work directly with such files, i avoid them. | 14:11 |
| Marco81 | kitofhawaii: can I use it with the live cd? | 14:11 |
| merps | has anyone recently had problems getting flash to work? | 14:12 |
| boris_ | bazhang: yes, sure | 14:12 |
| nyc-h0st | sudo works without a hitch | 14:12 |
| boris_ | bazhang: i just want to put some files on it | 14:12 |
| zobban | the file is 1.4gb | 14:12 |
| bazhang | boris_: office files, or other | 14:12 |
| nyc-h0st | heres what i'm doing dumping a select result in a file | 14:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | merps: the latest flash update was broken... | 14:12 |
| nyc-h0st | using it and then trying to delete it | 14:12 |
| boris_ | bazhang: music | 14:12 |
| nyc-h0st | its just like any other file on the system | 14:12 |
| merps | Jack_Sparrow: thanks, i thought as much. Is it possible to get an old version? | 14:12 |
| nyc-h0st | and its permissions are set at rw-rw-rw- | 14:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | merps: one sec... you can do it manually | 14:13 |

| MacTheMad | yes on the adobe website | 14:18 |

| kitofhawaii | nyc-h0st: what was the issue? | 14:21 |

| LjL | MacTheMad, you should *always* install things from the repositories when they're available (and when they're not, you really should think twice and only attempt to install them if you *really* need them). installing stuff via other dodgy methods is a ticket to trouble. | 14:21 |

| Asusu | how can I find where the source files of a source package got installed? | 14:22 |
| nyc-h0st | well its not root restricted i mean /tmp has rwx for everyone | 14:22 |

| lsw | hello | 14:22 |

| LjL | Jack_Sparrow: i don't. but i don't see it in the topic anymore, so my guess would be yes, unless people have fun reverting topics without a reason | 14:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 14:24 |
| nyc-h0st | LjL i would see the sticky bit as + | 14:24 |

| bazhang | boris_: could you check the phone to make sure it is a wm5 device? | 14:24 |

| LjL | kitofhawaii: that's not entirely accurate. it's not inherited (group is inherited, for example, when suid group is set) - it's simply a flag on the directory itself, that doesn't allow deleting its entries | 14:28 |

| MasterShrek_ | sure, or set up a strict firewall | 14:49 |
| MasterShrek_ | !firewall | 14:49 |
| 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). | 14:49 |
| MasterShrek_ | if you are worried about security | 14:50 |
| crush_groove | is firestarter an adequtae firewall or is it to generic and setting up IPtables is better ? | 14:50 |
| levander | Does anyone else have Firefox turning grey for short periods of time and then coming back so you can use it? This is happening kind of frequently here. | 14:50 |
| crush_groove | << very security minded | 14:50 |
| damike | hi | 14:51 |
| bazhang | heh | 14:51 |
| MasterShrek_ | crush_groove: ive never used it, generic iptables is probably better, but maybe thats just me and my old style of cli configuration | 14:51 |
| levander | It's like Firefox is leaking memory. | 14:51 |
| damike | how can i disable the ubuntu 7.10 power management? it make me crazy | 14:51 |
| bazhang | levander: using compiz? | 14:51 |
| levander | Memory usage by Firefox is over 300 MB. | 14:51 |
| damike | makes | 14:51 |
| MasterShrek_ | levander: or compiz | 14:51 |
| crush_groove | 300? | 14:51 |
| MasterShrek_ | eww, probably due to flash, i heard bad things about flash + compiz | 14:51 |
| levander | MasterShrek_: Yeah, compiz.re is using 38 MB of RAM. | 14:51 |
| bazhang | levander: I had that same problem with many apps, til I shut off compiz | 14:52 |
| * MasterShrek_ doesnt go for the visual effects, usability is my biggest concern | 14:52 | |
| levander | MasterShrek_: I've got Visual Effects set to Normal. Did you just set it all the way down to None? | 14:52 |

| MasterShrek_ | levander: yea, try it for awhile see if ti fixes your problems | 14:54 |
| kitofhawaii | lavender: you can try disabling your ipv6...navigate to about:config -> search for "ipv6" -> set to true and see how it works. apparently that works for quite a few people | 14:54 |

| jerome_dk | hi, I need help to get my Samsung SyncMaster 226 bw analog to work with Ubuntu 7.10. Anybody? Thanks. | 14:57 |
| rmserra | hello, i have problem with ubunto 7.1 and my dell latitude d505. The laptop frozen when suspend or | 14:57 |
| damike | erUSUL, yes - i want to disable this. this tool is very buggy. he should touch the display brighntness | 14:57 |
| rmserra | when resume from hibernation | 14:57 |
| kitofhawaii | jerome_dk: what are you trying to do with it/rather what's not working at the moment? | 14:59 |
| MasterShrek_ | rmserra: suspend and hibernate have never worked well in linux | 14:59 |
| jerome_dk | ' | 14:59 |
| peppini | ok, on ubuntu-it nobody answer. someone who spent time to help me? | 14:59 |
| peppini | i've a problem with usb controller | 14:59 |
| peppini | i'm a newbye | 14:59 |
| MasterShrek_ | peppini: whats the problem? | 15:00 |
| bazhang | usb 1.1? | 15:00 |
| sn0 | rmserra have you checked linux-laptop.net for your dell? most systems are usually listed and might give some hints on suspend/resume | 15:00 |
| averno | hi | 15:00 |
| peppini | my ubuntu 7.10 doesn't see my usb peripherals | 15:00 |
| kitofhawaii | jerome_dk: syncmaster 226 bw comes up available as an option under system -> administration -> screens and graphics | 15:00 |
| rmserra | i checked out, thankyou sn0 | 15:00 |
| sn0 | peppini a pastebin of lshw or lsusb from the terminal would be useful to troubleshoot this, but you could try tail -f /var/log/messages , then unplug and re-plug in the usb device, watch what it says or pastebin | 15:02 |
| jerome_dk | kito: I just tried to choose it, but it's the same problem all over again. I can choose it, but when I apply settings, Ubuntu tells me it can only run in low graphics mode... | 15:04 |
| kitofhawaii | jerome_dk: your vid card is working fine? | 15:05 |
| kitofhawaii | jerome_dk: or rather, which driver/what card are you using? | 15:05 |
| siavash_ | !compiling > siavash | 15:06 |
| peppini | lshw list my hardware, included usb controller, but nothing see my usb key neither my usb printer | 15:06 |
| jerome_dk | if I don't plug in my external monitor, yes. I've _just_ installed Ubuntu and it started by working in high-res, but with a wrong resolution on my external monitor (laptop was fine). Ubuntu told me that I could install a different driver for my ATI 9600 mobile card, and after doing that I've been running in low graphics mode | 15:06 |

| _slacker_ | damike, you have problems with the display brightness and ubuntu? | 15:10 |
| MasterShrek_ | jerome_dk: change the driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or replace it with a backed up version of the file, be sure the back all of the files up though | 15:11 |
| kitofhawaii | !ati > jerome_dk | 15:11 |
| DM| | MasterShrek_ pretty much i need to control something over an SSH tunnel, since my ISP are a bunch of jerks and dont allow me to offer world services | 15:11 |
| damike | _slacker_, yes - i say: don't adjust the brighness - but he always do. actually he doesnt store my last brightness - he always uses the brightness from the config - thats bad | 15:11 |
| kitofhawaii | mastershrek_: guess we weren't fast enough :) | 15:11 |
| MasterShrek_ | DM|: have your ssh server listen on a second port, thats what i do, my isp blocks port 22, so i forward it, 22123 or seomthing would work | 15:11 |
| sn0 | DM| while installing a gui and a desktop might seem the easiest way to do this, i would definately recommend against such a thing, servers don't need a gui and using ssh you can maintain much more efficently, plus less packages to upgrade/worry about security fixes | 15:12 |
| DM| | sn0 aye, | 15:12 |
| _slacker_ | damike, oh ok, you're lucky, i'm using an nVidia and the brightness control doesn't work at all | 15:12 |
| MasterShrek_ | kitofhawaii: oh, did he leave? i have joins/parts blocked on irssi | 15:12 |
| _slacker_ | damike, only via command line | 15:12 |
| DM| | MasterShrek_ no no i can ssh fine, its that I cant offer my streamer to the world, I have to ssh tunnel to it ( unless im doing something wrong ) | 15:13 |

| sn0 | peppini could you perhaps type the command i mentioned, tail -f /var/log/messages , then unplug the usb device(s) and plug them in again, it might be useful to try a different usb port and when finished please show us a pastebin of the text | 15:14 |
| DM| | MasterShrek_ yes, and i have all ports that i need forwarded | 15:14 |
| damike | _slacker_, yes - actually i'm don't happy with linux at all. in windows it works much better | 15:14 |

| filloy | good morning! I have an external hdd with ext3 and all my webpages there so i can acces them with my laptop in linux/windows and my desktop with linux. The problem are the permissions, who should be the owner so apache in windows can read the files? Currently its my user (filloy) and the group is plugdev. Thank you very much! | 15:15 |
| princeallanigue | MasterShrek_ what firewall are you using? | 15:15 |
| DM| | MasterShrek_ I can somewhat connect, but the thing is Rythmbox says i dont have the right decoder, and Banshee just buffers the whole time | 15:15 |
| MasterShrek_ | princeallanigue: im just using my router, and moblock pretty much | 15:15 |
| sn0 | filloy this isn't really a ubuntu question, sorry, but fyi there is an ext2/3 driver you can install for windows, to read ext partitions. | 15:16 |

| sn0 | peppini a pastebin is much better, thanks, and what happens when you repeat with other usb ports ? | 15:19 |
| Voyage_ | bazhang i missed the url you gave. and any msg you gave. i was disconnected. how can i make sure the icon of firestarter remains in the sys tray. and doesnot disappears after some time? | 15:19 |
| MasterShrek_ | DM|: hmm, i got no idea then...check your ports again, and that they are being forwarded to the right ip | 15:19 |
| sn0 | peppini did you install ubuntu using noapic or any custom boot codes? | 15:19 |
| damike | _slacker_, i have to reduce the birghtness every time i read something - that is soooo nasty | 15:19 |
| DM| | MasterShrek_ only 1 port is being used and its correct | 15:19 |

| ailean | every time i turn on my computer, it connects to my neighbour's router. As this is technically a criminal offence, how can i tell it to connect to mine instead? (mine is working and all i need to do is flick it over). | 15:20 |
| bazhang | Voyage_: that does nothing--this is not windows :}; the thing you need to do is set up a strict firewall (are you behind a router?) and then it is good to go | 15:20 |
| sn0 | peppini ok that is a bit strange, can you show us the pastebin-output of sudo lsusb and sudo lshw also please | 15:21 |
| damike | _slacker_, no - lets say the brighness is the tool is 70% - ok. so i adjust it temporary to 50% with the laptop keys. but he switches back to 70% .oO | 15:21 |
| MasterShrek_ | DM|: what ports are you using? | 15:21 |
| damike | in the tool | 15:21 |
| MasterShrek_ | it said it needs 3483 and 9000 | 15:21 |
| DM| | MasterShrek_ just 9000 for the connection | 15:21 |
| MasterShrek_ | DM|: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?ConnectingRemotely | 15:22 |
| Voyage_ | bazhang - the icon of firestarter turns red when an unauthorised access try is made and if it is visible in the tray always. i can observe that. and any way. why does it disappears. how can i make sure it doest ? | 15:22 |
| MasterShrek_ | DM|: first bullet, said 3493 and 9000 | 15:22 |

| sn0 | ip_helper you can type sudo fdisk -l at the terminal to list partitions | 15:30 |

| ailean | thor how can i do that? | 15:33 |
| ip_helper | is there a gold standard for fs type and encryption package on USB drives? It will hold sensitive data. | 15:33 |
| thor | aliean can't give you exact instructions as I use xfce and do my config files manually | 15:34 |
| IrishDave | ailean, click on networkmanager, select manual then properties on the wireless connection and you should be able to set it | 15:34 |
| brobostigon | hi | 15:34 |

| IrishDave | boris_, it can be done :) | 15:38 |
| boris_ | IrishDave: i dont want to. im just asking | 15:38 |
| brobostigon | boris_ is curious | 15:38 |
| boris_ | IrishDave: or maybe, id try 2 monitors at once (just for fun) | 15:38 |
| IrishDave | boris_, no worries, well it can :) there just generally isnt a reason to in linux | 15:38 |
| uncommon | hi can anyone point me to lists of range for ports used in p2p because it is very tiring to type each port in the firewall | 15:39 |
| IrishDave | boris_, that is easiest done with one graphics card, im doing it off my laptop :) | 15:39 |
| boris_ | IrishDave: i wonder what it looks like | 15:39 |
| helluvaCSMajor | can someone help me fix a problem where random folders keep showing up in my home folder, folders are empty, their names show up as symbols because it cannot display them, it says i am the owner? | 15:39 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: ugh... do they show up in the shell, too, if you "ls"? | 15:40 |
| helluvaCSMajor | then they are question marks | 15:40 |
| helluvaCSMajor | i do not remember what i was doing when they started | 15:41 |
| boris_ | IrishDave: what graphics card u got ? | 15:41 |
| helluvaCSMajor | i think trying to mount a windows partition to there, but i cannot remember exactly | 15:41 |
| IrishDave | boris_, im running off an nvidia Geforce Go 7300 | 15:41 |
| IrishDave | boris_, far from amazing | 15:41 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor, well uhm first thing that crosses my mind is HD failure... do those folder also *dis*appear, or do they stay there after first showing up? | 15:41 |
| helluvaCSMajor | they stay and more are made | 15:42 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: but now it isn't mounted, and you see your normal home files (aside from those strange files), right? | 15:42 |
| boris_ | IrishDave: but if you run it on 2 monitors, it only manages to achieve half of its speed | 15:42 |
| helluvaCSMajor | yes | 15:42 |
| helluvaCSMajor | one random folder is still there, i deleted the rest several days ago | 15:42 |
| IrishDave | boris_, im running one off vga and one off dvi, and it's not as straightforward as that | 15:42 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: start installing "smartmontools", and then run "sudo smartctl -H /dev/yourdrive" | 15:42 |

| helluvaCSMajor | health status ok | 15:47 |
| findeton | it's been working well for several weeks, but today it's like rhythmbox and amarokapp are just not in the mood for playing mp3s. I've got already installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse and amarok was playing mp3 just some hours ago but now? now it hangs up and i have to kill it. Then i started rhythmbox, which was also working before... but now it shows a | 15:47 |
| findeton | big list of 'import errors' saying for each mp3 that rhythmbox couldn't find the gstreamer add-ons to play the mp3 | 15:47 |
| Zero4k | However! Whenever I try to ping a hostname (The domain is a Windows domain with a windows 2003 DNS server, and the secondary DNS server is Debian Sarge Bind9).. when I try to ping via hostname, it takes forever to actually start pinging. | 15:47 |
| findeton | please help me | 15:47 |
| findeton | :P | 15:47 |
| boris_ | IrishDave: what happens if the two monitors dont have the same size/resolution ? | 15:47 |
| findeton | and vlc is able to play the mp3 files | 15:47 |
| Zero4k | Resolving the hostname seems to go quickly (It finds the IP without any problems), and the pingtimes themselves are perfect. | 15:47 |
| findeton | but i guess vlc doesn't use gstreamer | 15:48 |
| Ziik | need help with ubuntu and wireless if someone can help and got time pm me plz! | 15:48 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: do « sudo smartctl -A /dev/sda » and pastebin the output | 15:48 |
| findeton | anyone can help me? | 15:48 |
| thor | Zero4k have you tried disabling ipv6? | 15:48 |
| IrishDave | boris_, http://3mdmt.dyndns.org/image/dualscreen.jpg | 15:48 |
| Zero4k | It's the time betwen pings that takes upwards of 8-15 seconds. It's strange, the ping times themselves are in the 0.05ms range. | 15:48 |
| ace | hi | 15:48 |
| ace | is there a tool in the ubuntu cd to manage disk partition with a GUI? | 15:48 |
| Zero4k | How would I go about doing that? I'm not exactly linux saavy... heh c.c | 15:49 |
| ace | qtparted is not available | 15:49 |
| LjL | !gparted > ace (ace, see the private message from Ubotu) | 15:49 |
| boris_ | IrishDave: did you take that picture ? | 15:49 |
| brobostigon | ace: gparted | 15:49 |
| IrishDave | boris_, it's not a problem, i just have mine set up as seperate X sessions so I can control them independent but that's a personal choice, you can have them so that you can drag windows across | 15:49 |
| IrishDave | boris_, yes | 15:49 |
| ace | thanks you all! | 15:49 |
| LjL | ace, even if something is not installed on the CD, remember you can always install it yourself (it will stay in RAM and be lost at next reboot, but) | 15:49 |

| helluvaCSMajor | http://pastebin.com/d3a9c5b76 | 15:49 |
| IrishDave | boris_, it's off my phone hence the poor quality | 15:49 |
| erle- | how can i create a big empty file? | 15:49 |
| erle- | i don't care, what's in it | 15:49 |
| un4get | hey, im trying to share files for my network but for some reason any folder i'm trying to share it says "cannot access directory" why is that? how can I fix that? | 15:49 |
| erle- | dd is too slow | 15:49 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: uhm, are you sure that's all? | 15:50 |
| thor | Zero4k it isn't difficult...if you google it you can find instructions on how to do it...you just need to add a couple of lines to a config file. Your problem sounds like the symptoms described relating to ipv6...but I have only read about the problem,...never had it myself | 15:50 |
| helluvaCSMajor | yes | 15:50 |
| Zero4k | Interesting.. | 15:50 |
| LjL | erle-, i think dd is about as fast as it can get | 15:50 |
| erle- | LjL, dd writes data into a file | 15:50 |
| Zero4k | Thanks! I'll try it right now, and report back. :) | 15:50 |
| Voyage_ | bazhang i didnt found the way to make the sys tray icon be visible all the time in those links. | 15:50 |

| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: that's quite weird. try « sudo smartctl -i /dev/sda | grep SMART » | 15:50 |
| erle- | i don't want to wait until the data is written into the file | 15:50 |

| IrishDave | boris_, i bought myself a 22" monitor as a Christmas present but had the 15" lying around from ages ago and decided to make use of it | 15:51 |
| LjL | erle-, so you're saying you're looking into creating a sparse file? | 15:51 |
| brobostigon | !sound | un4get | 15:51 |
| ubotu | un4get: 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 | 15:51 |
| IrishDave | boris_, a box of staples | 15:51 |
| helluvaCSMajor | it said > Device does not support SMART | 15:51 |
| erle- | LjL, what do you mean? | 15:51 |
| bazhang | Voyage_: it's not necesary. post something on ubuntuforums if you wish :} | 15:51 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: uh, i was sure modern HDs all supported SMART, so i don't quite understand | 15:52 |
| findeton | !can anyone please help me to make rhytmbox play mp3 files? it was working yesterday!! | 15:52 |
| boris_ | IrishDave: whats staple ??? | 15:52 |

| un4get | its not a sound problem its file sharing problem | 15:52 |
| IrishDave | LiMaO, i'm using xchat :) boris_ a box of metal staples for holding papers together | 15:53 |
| LjL | erle-: well, if you want to create a big file, it either has to be a *real* big file (i.e. filled with data), or, since ext3 supports sparse file, a file that just *tells* the filesystem that it's big, although there's really nothing in there | 15:53 |
| swiniak | I from Poland | 15:53 |
| bazhang | Voyage_: no worries | 15:53 |
| ehird` | what's the best way to remap [] -> () and vise versa | 15:53 |
| thor | un4get are you using samba | 15:53 |
| erle- | LjL, i want to use it as filesystem image | 15:53 |
| LiMaO | IrishDave: doh, looked like kvirc hehe.. and google looks strange on such a wide resolution =P | 15:53 |
| bazhang | !pl | swiniak | 15:53 |
| ubotu | swiniak: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl | 15:53 |
| boris_ | IrishDave: ok | 15:53 |
| un4get | thor: no idea... am i? | 15:53 |
| erle- | so i create it and overwrite it afterwards | 15:53 |
| swiniak | FucK USA | 15:53 |
| erle- | file should be 20 gigs long | 15:53 |
| tdn | I have a tar file with a lot of files with absolute paths (starting with /). How can I extract this archive to another destination than current working dir? Say the tar file is /a/x.tar and I want to extract it so that all files go into into /b. | 15:53 |
| swiniak | rzondzi billaden | 15:53 |
| IrishDave | LiMaO, i've always had widescreen so im used to it, laptop is a 17" widescreen and i use it to watch movies :), sadly i'm finding it impossible to get a nice framebuffer resolution on it | 15:54 |
| erUSUL | erle-: then you need an actual big file and the bottleneck is your hd speed. writting 20 Gigs to a disk takes time | 15:54 |
| LjL | erle-: note that i haven't yet told you *how* to create a sparse file because i don't know a way. | 15:54 |
| un4get | thor: i'm kinda new to ubuntu so i'm not sure | 15:54 |
| LjL | erUSUL, uhm not necessarily, a sparse file will probably do | 15:55 |
| peppini | #ubuntu_it | 15:55 |
| erle- | LjL, thank you, i got help in antocher chan | 15:55 |
| erle- | *another | 15:55 |
| LjL | erle-: can you share it? | 15:55 |
| erUSUL | erle-: if you use qemu or kvm you can use the qcow disk image format the grows as needed | 15:55 |
| findeton | brobostigon: i didn't change anything at all, i'm not aware of anything installed or updated on my machine... yet yesterday i could play mp3s and now i can't | 15:55 |

| brobostigon | findeton: have you tried to play your mp3 with something like vlc or xmms, | 15:56 |
| bazhang | hi galvan | 15:56 |
| thor | un4get ok....your computer is on ubuntu...what is the other computer running? | 15:56 |
| erle- | LjL, dd if=/dev/zero of=file count=0 obs=1 seek=10G | 15:56 |
| galvan | hi | 15:56 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor, not many. you could pastebin /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages and /var/log/kern.log and let me see if i spot anything weird (it would help if you could tell me exactly *when* the last random directory got created) | 15:56 |
| findeton | yes and it workd there brobostigon. But i'd like to make it work again in amarok and rythmbox | 15:57 |
| findeton | ^^ | 15:57 |
| LjL | erle-: oh... the seek would do the trick, of course. thanks. | 15:57 |

| helluvaCSMajor | the first file you mentioned only mentions december 14th | 15:59 |
| peppini | thank ljl | 15:59 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: see if you can find the logs for the 11th. try « ls /var/log/ -l | grep "12-11" » to see what they are | 15:59 |
| erUSUL | a4ndr3c: it is italian and ubotu is a bot | 15:59 |
| thor | un4get I suspect you will need to set up windows file sharing on your computer...I do that using samba. there are howtos on setting up samba...it isn't a one click operation | 16:00 |
| erle- | erUSUL, you don't need to do that, because linux file systems can simulate large fields of zeroes as well | 16:00 |
| a4ndr3c | erUSUL, i know it is a stupid bot | 16:00 |
| galvan | ola a4ndr3c | 16:00 |

| susscorfa | how do i add a folder to the places menu | 16:03 |
| SpookyET | brobostigon: because you have no sense of humour? | 16:04 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: old logs are compressed to save space. copy them somewhere (a folder in your home, for instance) and then use « gunzip *.gz » | 16:04 |
| teknician | is there any version of ubuntu that can be installed on that machine pleaseeeeee | 16:04 |
| bazhang | jroes: sounds like a hardware issue--I had that before as well | 16:04 |
| helluvaCSMajor | how do i copy it? | 16:04 |
| jroes | a hardware issue? it's working, but it's definitely doing something on my drives | 16:04 |
| jroes | I'm assuming creating swap space, but I don't know where it's finding it | 16:04 |
| helluvaCSMajor | nevermind | 16:05 |
| JDogHerman | can someone help me out with an install problem? | 16:05 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: cp /var/log/filename ~/Desktop/TempDirectory/ (the latter being just an example, copy where you prefer) | 16:05 |
| bazhang | teknician: what is the hard drive size? | 16:05 |
| SpookyET | I'm having ACPI issues. It keeps thinking that it's overheating during boot and shuts down. I have to put it in the freezer for 2 minutes before it boots properly. | 16:06 |
| bazhang | ask away JDogHerman | 16:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SpookyET: Not a good idea to put it in the freezer.. condensation will most likely kill it.. (although 2 minuts is hardly long enough to get it cold enough) | 16:07 |

| JDogHerman | but now after I to load what I installed the system hangs | 16:08 |
| teknician | bazhang let me give u link to this pc may be you can help me with it | 16:08 |
| CaRtz | !root | 16:08 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:08 |
| bazhang | teknician: does it have a usb port? you maybe could run it from that--details how to do that at pendrivelinux dot com | 16:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JDogHerman: what did you install, and how did you install it | 16:08 |
| JDogHerman | I try inputting into grub the commands I loaded with the live cd but it wont load | 16:08 |
| bazhang | teknician: no thanks--you better read up on this first :} | 16:08 |

| KinPumpkinKing | does anyone here use Avast? after updating, mine doesn't run... can anyone help? :p | 16:09 |
| Zero4k | Dumb question: Where is the start-up boot log located? This laptop I'm working on is taking forever and a day to boot into Gnome, and doesn't display any "Loading" screen | 16:09 |
| teknician | yes it has a usb port bazhang | 16:09 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: why do you need avast ??? | 16:09 |
| JDogHerman | jack: I installed 7.10 on my dv9407nr | 16:09 |
| teknician | it can access from the external cd/dvd rom as well | 16:09 |
| Ziik | need help with wireless card configuration anyone familiar with it ? | 16:10 |
| bazhang | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ teknician | 16:10 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, I thought it'd be good to have? I don't know jack about Linux, so I figured there could be viruses from the internet...? | 16:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JDogHerman: Ah, I thought you added things after the install... | 16:10 |
| LjL | Karotte, i really cannot find anything GNOME... would you consider perhaps Qt software? | 16:10 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: there are no viruses spreading in the wild, currently. | 16:10 |
| Zero4k | Also, I tried disabling IPV6, and my pings still take forever to go through. :( | 16:11 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, oh, hmkay, so should I uninstall it? :p | 16:11 |
| JDogHerman | no just the install | 16:11 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: that's what, messages? | 16:11 |
| teknician | bazhang: the issue is that it is fix inside it is not a USB connector | 16:11 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: and there was only one REAL virus for linux, and it failed to start because of a kernel bug. | 16:11 |
| teknician | else i would have taken it out to install | 16:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JDogHerman: Do you get dumped at a cli prompt? If so, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to setup your video card and monitor refresh info or select vesa mode and 1024 max res to get into the basic gui | 16:11 |
| JDogHerman | I was trying to tell the system to load the commands That allowed it to load the live cd | 16:11 |
| helluvaCSMajor | what do you mean? | 16:11 |
| helluvaCSMajor | oh, the log | 16:11 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: which logfile is the one you pasted | 16:11 |
| helluvaCSMajor | syslog0 | 16:11 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, rofl... hmkay. What about firewalls, do I need those? | 16:12 |
| helluvaCSMajor | should i get any others? | 16:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KinPumpkinKing: not really.. | 16:12 |
| JDogHerman | it dosent seem to me that it takes the commands that i edit in for grub | 16:12 |
| KinPumpkinKing | Jack_Sparrow, oh, thank you. | 16:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 16:13 |
| KinPumpkinKing | how can I get Avast outside my system, then? | 16:13 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: firewall is already installed, and should protect your computer even with default config | 16:13 |
| JDogHerman | I remove the splash command and it still shows a splash | 16:13 |
| bazhang | teknician: what is it running now? Mandriva? XP? or other | 16:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JDogHerman: edit grub all you want.. if your xorg isnt right you wont get in | 16:13 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: well, i can't see anything very interesting in there. aside from the fact that you seem to have a few firewalling rules, and MySQL installed | 16:13 |
| teknician | nothing it had xp gone corrupt | 16:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !firewall | KinPumpkinKing | 16:13 |
| ubotu | KinPumpkinKing: 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). | 16:13 |
| teknician | i want to install linux | 16:13 |
| teknician | thought of ubuntu | 16:13 |
| teknician | dont know which one will wokr | 16:14 |

| helluvaCSMajor | do you mean i need more firewall rules or less? | 16:14 |
| LjL | helluvaCSMajor: i don't mean anything... just that, normally, Ubuntu has no firewall running by default. so you have installed a firewall and MySQL. is that correct? | 16:14 |

| KinPumpkinKing | Jack_Sparrow, Should I try to uninstall Avast, then,m which doesn't even start anymore anyway? If so, how to do that? Or can I just leave it on the menu... | 16:16 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: you dont have to configure your firewall. it's already configured to shield you. if you dont believe me, test it with ShieldsUP | 16:16 |
| helluvaCSMajor | messages or messages.0? | 16:16 |
| Zero4k | This isn't a Bind9 server, though.. | 16:16 |
| un4get | i'm using samba but when I'm trying to share a folder it says all the time "cant access folder" | 16:16 |
| un4get | why is that? | 16:16 |
| teknician | bazhang that is not the problem | 16:16 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, no, I trust you. ^ | 16:16 |
| dmacnutt | Zero4k: does it use one? | 16:16 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, ^^ | 16:16 |
| teknician | but when i try to install it stops in the kernel install there is no way forward and i am here to get some advise on that | 16:17 |
| bazhang | no problem? okay teknician | 16:17 |
| dmacnutt | use dig on the IP you are pinging | 16:17 |
| Zero4k | There's two DNS servers that this is using. One is a Windows 2003 Server with DNS (Also a domain controller), the other is a Debian Sarge box with Bind9. | 16:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KinPumpkinKing: leave it... and the grc.com shieldsup test is a good link to have | 16:17 |

| famer | I have a quesstion: can I update my ubuntu to kubuntu without reinstalling all my software?(I have a kubuntu dvd with the same version) | 16:19 |
| Zikiti | Hello, Anyone know a good opensource rational rose alternative provided by ubuntu? | 16:19 |
| Zero4k | I'm not exactly a linux pro, so I can't really figure this out. The old "Sarge" box has no issues with pings, but any current distros have a lot of trouble, on multiple sets of hardware. | 16:19 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, one final question, is there a list of *online* games for Linux/Ubuntu anywhere? Every site I find lists only a few... | 16:19 |
| wraund | famer: yes | 16:19 |
| Zikiti | Anyone? | 16:19 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: do you mean games you play with your browser ? | 16:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JDogHerman: on boot..hitting escape should get you to a grub menu. or are you dual booting etc? | 16:20 |
| smg | hello | 16:20 |
| wraund | famer: would you rather add kubuntu onto ubuntu from the web or the kubuntu cd? | 16:20 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: or the games you install on a PC ? | 16:20 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, installation ones | 16:20 |
| JDogHerman | yes dual | 16:20 |
| famer | from kubuntu cd will be excelent | 16:20 |
| JDogHerman | I can get to grub | 16:20 |
| wraund | famer: ok one moment | 16:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JDogHerman: XP or UGH... vista.. | 16:20 |
| Zikiti | Does anyone even see my messages? Either no one sees my messages or no one is ever interested in answering them | 16:20 |
| smg | can i setup lvm and a crypted filesystem with the ubuntu installation cd on the fly? | 16:20 |

| KinPumpkinKing | wraund, yeah, well, I don't think it shold cost less than like 30 dollars here in Brazil. | 16:29 |

| Marfi | bazhang, the file im downloading has ~ 29,000 seeds. it has timed out 3 times...any ideas? | 16:39 |
| backpro | when my debian start kde start automatic i install xfce how to rub it >? | 16:39 |
| LjL | backpro: this is #ubuntu not #debian | 16:40 |
| === skata is now known as zeek | ||
| backpro | i mean my ubuntu' | 16:40 |
| LjL | !rootirc | backpro | 16:40 |
| ubotu | backpro: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 16:40 |
| eyemean | marfi, im assuming ur using torrent? | 16:40 |
| backpro | ubuntu =debian ?? | 16:40 |
| LjL | backpro: uhm, no | 16:40 |
| bazhang | Marfi: assuming this an ubuntu iso (heh), then it would be an issue with the seeders,and likely not your computer--you can also try utorrent with wine, or ktorrent | 16:40 |
| Marfi | eyemean, yes. deluge, trying to get the newest naruto. =) i think my provider may be throttling / blocking the download. i called them, and they said that they weren't | 16:40 |
| === benzss is now known as benzs_s | ||
| LjL | backpro: anyway, you select the session you want to use from your display manager (which is probably KDM) | 16:40 |

| * NoorulIslaam downloaded naruto | 16:41 | |
| eyemean | marfi, are you using a router? | 16:41 |
| famer | wraund, I need to reboot now(I have some troubles with my pc) and after i'll continue installing kubuntu-desktop. Is it all what I need to do? Just install kubuntu-desktop? | 16:41 |
| null__ | Hello, how can I donwlo a directori like http://www.project.com/dir/FILESHERE I was using wget -r but it downloads extra 'files' called html etc, how to get the same dir? | 16:41 |

| freeteebee | LjL and erUSUL i checked fdisk and cfdist but i can only change to Linux no ext2 or 3 | 16:41 |
| NoorulIslaam | anyone here watches avatar the last airbender? | 16:41 |
| bazhang | Marfi: meaning ubuntu, obviously may need to read up on port forwarding and dht (teh google is yer friend) :} | 16:41 |
| wraund | famer: to remove gnome make sure kubuntu-desktop is sound, and remove ubuntu-desktop | 16:42 |
| eyemean | marfi, 2days ago did you change the default ports that delluge was using? | 16:42 |
| bazhang | off topic NoorulIslaam | 16:42 |
| famer | wraund thank you so much! | 16:42 |
| wraund | famer: no probs mate | 16:42 |
| Marfi | eyemean, nope. i did do a clean install of ubuntu though, but that shouldn't affect it | 16:42 |
| backpro | when i start ubuntu X started automatic how to stop it and start console ????????? | 16:42 |
| freeteebee | is ext2 or ext3 determied by mounting the correct fs | 16:42 |
| Slart | null__: I think you'll get html-files however you do it.. if you type that into a browser it shows you a html page.. that's what wget downloads | 16:42 |
| null__ | Slart: how to do not download that files then? | 16:43 |
| eyemean | marfi, basically i found that deluge sometimes resets its settings for some uknow reason, so try checking the ports in deluge, u might find that they have been changed back to default | 16:43 |
| DM| | Ok.. So I am trying to play a stream, is there any codec or Decoder I need that are not of the norm? | 16:43 |
| holycow | !camera | 16:43 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about camera - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 16:43 |
| eyemean | marfi, i would get that same error due to that reason | 16:43 |
| Slart | null__: aren't there switches to wget to not save certain files? if so, use that to not save html files | 16:44 |
| hotbard7 | salam dostan | 16:44 |

| bundo | !server bundo.biz | 16:44 |
| Marfi | eyemean, ill mess with the settings. ill give you an update in a few. ;) | 16:44 |

| Slart | KnifeHat: wasting cycles.. I had to disable it on my computer.. just never stopped | 16:45 |
| bazhang | open up top and check KnifeHat | 16:45 |
| KnifeHat | That's how I found out it was spiking was top | 16:45 |
| ribok | can anybody help me with drivers? | 16:45 |
| KnifeHat | I don't know what it does though | 16:45 |
| eyemean | marfi, rember i think its ur port settings which are affecting it | 16:45 |
| KnifeHat | safe to kill? | 16:45 |
| Slart | KnifeHat: trackerd is used to index files on your harddrives for easier/faster searching | 16:45 |
| lQg | does ubuntu support directfb? | 16:45 |
| eyemean | marfi, i'll be back to check on ur update, as i wont be on pc all the time | 16:45 |

| Marfi | eyemean, i set it to random ports when i was having problems. i reset them to 6881 - 6889. gonna see what happens | 16:45 |
| KnifeHat | Probably a run away process | 16:46 |
| hotbard7 | hi | 16:46 |
| Slart | KnifeHat: well.. that's what it's *supposed* to do.. but as I said.. it just runs wild sometimes | 16:46 |
| KnifeHat | OK, thanks for the info | 16:46 |
| Marfi | eyemean, it still times out. =/ | 16:46 |
| eyemean | marfi, are those ports forwareded on ur router? | 16:47 |

| holycow | dude thanks a lot for that, very good page. | 16:51 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: you only got 64 MB of video memory ? | 16:52 |
| KinPumpkinKing | Jack_Sparrow, bazhang wrote that down. | 16:52 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, yeah... it's an over 5 years old computer. | 16:52 |
| bazhang | no problem | 16:52 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: i guess no fancy effects for you | 16:52 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, I've only come across one game that doesn't run on it, though | 16:52 |
| Dr_willis | 5 yrs old - isent that the DOOM era? :) | 16:52 |
| bazhang | biotrox: need more info than that to help you | 16:53 |
| Dr_willis | or am i showing my age again? heh. | 16:53 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: what game ? oh, and btw - ET quake wars wont run on it | 16:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dr_willis: Be nice.... | 16:53 |
| biotrox | bazhang, using 7.10 and 4GB usb drive | 16:53 |
| biotrox | bazhang, kernell panic all the time | 16:53 |
| Dr_willis | actually 5 yrs ago was about Quake 2 wasent it. A new way to keep track of the years. by game release. | 16:53 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, hmkay, I'm not paying for anything anyway... :p~ The game is Archlord. It needs at least 128 video memory | 16:53 |

| biotrox | jack, it only last for 4 days at the longest | 16:54 |
| casey_ | im trying "su" and the password seems to be wrong | 16:54 |
| Dr_willis | casey_, use 'sudo' not su | 16:54 |
| biotrox | and then crash... | 16:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biotrox: kernell panic all the time would imply that is was not working atm | 16:55 |

| casey_ | well i want su | 16:55 |
| biotrox | and then the ubuntu start fine again | 16:55 |
| lQg | so does ubuntu have directfb support? | 16:55 |
| casey_ | no, i want the whole terminal to be root | 16:55 |

| Jack_Sparrow | biotrox: at the moment.. sorry for the shorthand | 16:56 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, what do you mean? Version? If so, it's 7.10 | 16:56 |
| casey_ | but whats su do | 16:56 |
| bazhang | http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/source/directfb lQg | 16:56 |
| NoWhereMan | or at least it doesnt contain ubuntu patches | 16:56 |

| SpookyET | Listen is a really nice audio player. I like it more than Rhythmbox | 16:56 |
| erUSUL | !root | casey_ | 16:56 |
| ubotu | casey_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:56 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, Ubuntu | 16:56 |
| biotrox | jack_sparrow, sorry didn't catch that... my english isn't so good | 16:56 |

| akempgen | does the ubuntu livecd support reading hfs/hfs+ disks and sharing them over the lan? | 16:57 |
| casey_ | so what does su do | 16:57 |

| bazhang | akempgen: no to hfs/hfs+ | 16:57 |
| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, I have 768mb ram memory | 16:57 |
| thor | casey_ su logs you in as the root user, sudo only executes one command line as the root user | 16:57 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: k | 16:57 |
| LjL | casey_: su is simply not intended to be used on ubuntu | 16:57 |
| akempgen | bazhang: do you happen to know any livecd that does? :) | 16:57 |
| biotrox | jack_sparrow so... any idea why my ubuntu-thumbdrive always need to be flush..? | 16:57 |
| erUSUL | thor: with sudo -i you get a "root shell" do not recomend using su or enabling the root account | 16:58 |
| casey_ | i see | 16:58 |
| casey_ | well ill use sudo -i | 16:58 |
| bazhang | akempgen: linux? not to my knowledge--you may want to check google though :} | 16:58 |
| akempgen | roger | 16:58 |
| thor | erUSUL I didn't recommend anything....just answered his question | 16:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biotrox: i use my pendrive very little... you might consider persistent where you run it off the cd and save changes to the pendrive | 16:59 |
| LjL | casey_: you may, but it's generally a better idea to just prefix "sudo" to single commands. safer (you never know when you'll do some nasty typo on a dangerous command! everybody does it sooner or later), and also helps you giving a real perception of which activities require root privileges and which don't | 16:59 |

| KinPumpkinKing | boris_, oh, I see. | 17:13 |
| LjL | kestaz: then sudo apt-get remove apache2 will remove it -- actually, it has removed it already. i guess it's still running just because nobody told it to stop. « sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 stop » | 17:13 |
| boris_ | KinPumpkinKing: this is most notable when using compatibility layers like WINE | 17:13 |

| Zero4k | However! Whenever I try to ping a hostname (The domain is a Windows domain with a windows 2003 DNS server, and the secondary DNS server is Debian Sarge Bind9).. when I try to ping via hostname, it takes forever to actually start pinging. | 17:37 |

| vecna | hi , how can I disable an ethernet card in gusty? | 17:38 |
| Catatonik | Lol, for some reason my connection was lost so I rebooted and now the maximum resolution is 640x480 | 17:38 |

| vecna | network manager won't let me remove roaming profile for eth1 and it's hooked nowhere so I don't know what to do | 17:38 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: when you do an nslookup against the primary server, how long does it take to resolve the host in question? | 17:38 |
| Catatonik | Anyone feel like helping me? :< | 17:38 |
| aniket | :) | 17:38 |
| Slart | vecna: ok.. could be that the dns servers are slow to respond.. have you tried just doing the dns-lookup? | 17:39 |
| Zero4k | Immediately. | 17:39 |
| vecna | no , I don't need eth1 there is no cable on it | 17:39 |
| svladcjelli | vecna: you can manually edit /etc/network/interfaces | 17:39 |
| Slart | vecna: sudo ifdown eth0 would disable eth0.. kind of | 17:39 |
| Zero4k | It doesn't seem to have any problem with resolving the hostnames, which is the odd part. | 17:39 |
| Slart | oops.. sorry | 17:39 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: no delay whatsoever but it delays starting ping... | 17:39 |
| Zero4k | Hostnames resolve in milliseconds, ping times are low, but time before ubuntu actually starts to "ping", is huge. | 17:40 |
| Slart | Zero4k: what happens if you ping an ip-number? same delay? | 17:40 |
| Zero4k | Pinging an IP directly results in immediate results, no delay. | 17:40 |
| Zero4k | It's a DNS issue, but I don't know where. The windows machines (and the Debian Sarge server) have no trouble. | 17:40 |
| vecna | Slart, it says it's not configured | 17:40 |
| Lambach | what room can help me w/ /etc/network/interfaces ? | 17:41 |
| Slart | could it be a "look stuff up using ipv6 first" issue? | 17:41 |

| Zero4k | Same problem. Ping -r (hostname) resolves the hostname immediately, stalls for 10 seconds, spits out the first ping (which was 2.71ms), waits 13 seconds, spits out the second (0.256ms) and so on. | 17:45 |

| Klockwinder | Can anyone help me correctly install video and audio drivers? | 17:46 |
| Zero4k | 0% packet loss, yep. | 17:46 |
| Zero4k | This really has me stumped. It isn't the hardware either, since I have the same issue on two other boxes. | 17:46 |

| svladcjelli | adelie: mine does not work at all :( | 17:47 |

| Klockwinder | I just kept getting "signal over range" | 17:48 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: same behavior for short name and fqdn? | 17:48 |
| Zero4k | Let me check. | 17:48 |
| nickrud | Klockwinder, I have one of those pos's , could you put a copy of your /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 17:48 |
| Zero4k | FQDN / Short name is the same, yep. | 17:49 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: :( that sucks. Did you use the wiki guide and follow the "Build a kernel with wacom support" thing using the source code? | 17:49 |
| nickrud | Klockwinder, it's probably a horiz & vert refresh issue for the monitor | 17:49 |
| svladcjelli | adelie: yes... i am sure i can get it going, but it is newest model not fully supported yet | 17:49 |
| Klockwinder | I couldn't repair the horizontal/vertical refresh problem | 17:49 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: if you throw the entry in the hosts table it's the same deal? | 17:49 |
| GreySim | Does anyone know offhand how to have gnome-session automatically restart an app when it dies? I swear I used to be able to do it, but I don't remember how now. | 17:49 |
| Klockwinder | I had to completely reinstall ubuntuagain | 17:49 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: The 6x8 Bamboo? | 17:49 |
| svladcjelli | adelie: yup | 17:50 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: sorry, not throwing ideas off the top of my head, just narrowing down and ruling out potentials | 17:50 |
| nickrud | GreySim, if it's a gnome session aware apps, you can change it's style to restart in system->prefs->session | 17:50 |
| Zero4k | *Nod* No problem. Hey, trial and error help is better than no help at all. :P | 17:50 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: That thing is so sexy! I love it... other than I can only use it for games under windows. The specs in the source code for it are fabulous... other than not working | 17:50 |
| GreySim | nickrud, thanks. | 17:50 |
| Klockwinder | How would I get a copy of my /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 17:51 |
| nickrud | Klockwinder, gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log will open it read only | 17:51 |
| tyczek | wrrrr... I can't force atheros ar5007eg to work ;/ | 17:51 |

| Zero4k | At least you have an atheros. I can't get my broadcom to work at all, at home. | 17:52 |
| jamiejackson | i would like to be able to edit the main menu more directly, the way, say windows does: it allows you to add, delete, check properties, move app shortcuts directly from the menu. it's awkward to go through a menu-editing app to do this. is there a way? | 17:52 |
| jamiejackson | broadcom wireless Zero4k? i've maintain what i think is a pretty good howto for that. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff | 17:53 |
| Zero4k | I'll take a look at that, later. Not a huge priority, that laptop uses WinXP anyway. | 17:54 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: so any difference between having the hostname in the hosts file than having it use dns? | 17:54 |
| Klockwinder | I pasted the log on ubuntu pastebin | 17:54 |
| svladcjelli | kitofhawaii: hosts takes precedence over external dns | 17:54 |
| Klockwinder | Just link here? | 17:54 |
| svladcjelli | yes Klockwinder | 17:55 |
| crush[A] | how can I see what version of flash Im using in term ? | 17:55 |

| kitofhawaii | svladcjelli: i know...that's why i asked :) | 17:55 |
| eyemean | marfi, no worries, im glad it worked, what i would suggest though is that u try changing the port range, im not sure what the preferred range is, but im using 55555-55565 and i get good speeds | 17:55 |
| Zero4k | Ah, now we're getting somewhere.. | 17:55 |
| svladcjelli | sorry kitofhawaii looked like a support Q :) | 17:55 |
| Zero4k | Putting the hostname into the hosts file, results in immediate pinging. | 17:55 |

| epswing | i've got this ubuntu 7.04 box, it's main purpose is to hold my svn repository and a couple other things, but most of the time it's inactive. | 17:56 |
| epswing | so after booting, after some amount of time i hear the HD spin down, monitor turns off, great it's in power-saving mode. but then, inexplicable and with no intervention that i can see, it starts back up again, hard drives click and spin up. what's causing this? it's praactically a fresh install. | 17:56 |
| Klockwinder | Right yeah | 17:56 |
| Zero4k | It does? | 17:56 |
| svladcjelli | epswing: cron? | 17:57 |
| svladcjelli | epswing: you could tail the log to find out | 17:57 |
| nickrud | Klockwinder, for some reason you are running the vesa driver; try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg , and choose ati for the driver | 17:57 |
| epswing | oh, and after entering the power-saving state, it takes about 5-10 minutes before it powers up again | 17:57 |
| pr1r | hey all i was wondering if someone could help me out... im missing all the icns in the menus and have no option to x out windows, minimize etc, unless i right click.,.. what do i have to reinstall to fix this? thanks inn advance | 17:57 |
| epswing | for reasons unknown | 17:57 |
| Klockwinder | I'm swamped with such low resolutions I'm beginning to forget what higher one are called :( | 17:57 |
| epswing | svladcjelli: no cron jobs that i've scheduled... | 17:57 |
| epswing | svladcjelli: which log? | 17:57 |
| erUSUL | ubotu tell Klockwinder about fixres | Klockwinder see priv msg from ubotu | 17:57 |
| Klockwinder | Ok, I'll try that nickrud | 17:57 |
| pegasos | I'm trying to install ov51x-jpeg-source from the synaptic but it requires me to insert the install cd rom. Is there a way to do this without the said CD available? | 17:57 |
| Lambach | Anyone able to help me w/ editing /etc/network/interfaces ? | 17:58 |
| svladcjelli | epswing: there are scheduled tasks anyways | 17:58 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: well it means it's related to dns resolution for sure. at least that's what it appears since we sidestepped dns for the hosts table | 17:58 |
| erUSUL | pegasos: disable the cdrom from the software sources | 17:58 |
| pegasos | erUSUL: Okay, thanks | 17:58 |
| erUSUL | pegasos: System>Admin>Software sources | 17:58 |
| epswing | svladcjelli: ok, where do i dump the list of scheduled tasks? | 17:58 |
| svladcjelli | Lambach: why not system>administration>network | 17:58 |
| Zero4k | Yep. Not sure why it's having trouble though, since it appears to be resolving DNS just fine. | 17:58 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: as to why that is different...are other services effected or just ping? | 17:58 |
| mgim | does anyone here have any experience installing GATOS drivers | 17:58 |

| kitofhawaii | zero4k: also, which of the two dns servers is primary? | 17:59 |
| pr1r | mgim: i used envy to install all my graphics cards... definitely worked every time | 17:59 |
| epswing | svladcjelli: no such file or directory | 17:59 |
| bruenig | !envy | pr1r stop | 17:59 |
| ubotu | pr1r stop: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 17:59 |
| mgim | this card is far too old | 18:00 |
| Zero4k | The primary DNS server is x.x.1.19, which is our Win2k3 DC | 18:00 |
| nickrud | rmorgan, emacs ;) | 18:00 |
| mgim | for any drivers that are currently out there | 18:00 |
| mgim | besides gatos, that is | 18:00 |
| Klockwinder | Ok, nickrud, I selected the resolutions I wanted to use and pressed enter | 18:00 |
| svladcjelli | epswing: man cron | 18:00 |
| rmorgan | heh, no emacs | 18:00 |
| svladcjelli | !cron | 18:00 |
| ubotu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 18:00 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: can you change the order and try it? | 18:00 |
| nickrud | Klockwinder, you also chose the ati driver? | 18:00 |
| pr1r | bruenig: so your telling me that what ive done was wreong? considering the headache the screens and graphics have been for both my nvidia geforce fx 5200 and ati radeon 9700 i will always recommend envy | 18:00 |
| Klockwinder | Um, I didn't seen an option to | 18:00 |
| pr1r | it got dual monitors working | 18:00 |
| epswing | svladcjelli: yep, i know what cron does. no file lives where you specified though | 18:00 |
| vg05 | i just dont get this, i swap out a ati x300 pci-e card for a geforce 5200 pci card, do a clean install and things like the network adapters dont work now, args | 18:00 |
| svladcjelli | epswing: so look up where it lives | 18:01 |
| frojnd | hello there | 18:01 |
| epswing | svladcjelli: wouldn't that be system-specific, if it's not even where you think it should be? | 18:01 |
| bruenig | pr1r, I am saying that if you are willing to take a risk screwing up your system with a hacky script that fails, that's your business, but luring unsuspecting victims into the same is not tolerated on the channel (especially since we are the ones that have to deal with them when it fails) | 18:01 |
| frojnd | I have problem, connecting to nokia 7390 .... | 18:01 |
| adelie | vg05 it doesn't see the network card, or it isn't connecting? | 18:01 |
| pr1r | bruenig: so show me how to set up dual monitors using the nvidia card i have in my cpu withouit the computer freezing cause the drivers are horrible thru nvidia | 18:02 |
| bruenig | pr1r, unless you are familiar enough with the code in the script to trace all the errors and are here when they get catastrophic failure and can troubleshoot for them, don't cause us more work | 18:02 |
| Klockwinder | When I entered sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg into terminal it just gave me a short list of resolutions to chose from | 18:02 |
| vg05 | adelie: it sees it, it's just not connecting | 18:02 |
| nickrud | Klockwinder, darn reconfigure has been altered since I last ran it; try logging out, hit ctl-alt-backspace, log back in. We'll go from there | 18:02 |
| bruenig | pr1r, yes see you clearly don't understand at all what you are talking about, seeing as envy is a script which downloads drivers from nvidia | 18:02 |
| pr1r | bruenig: whatever you say chief | 18:02 |
| bruenig | pr1r, it is the exact same driver, you just don't know how to install it apparently | 18:02 |
| pr1r | bruenig: its easier to install the older drives using envy | 18:02 |
| Klockwinder | Alright, thanks, I have a fear it's gonna give me "signal over range" soon though :( | 18:02 |
| epswing | svladcjelli: crontab -l gives me "no crontab for <user>" | 18:03 |
| vg05 | adelie: and on the network icons, i see the two adapters i have, both are greyed out | 18:03 |
| bruenig | pr1r, it tries to be easier and is when it doesn't fail, but the prospect of failure which is high is what we are worried about, try advocating full proof methods in here not obfuscation that you don't understand and can't troubleshoot upon failure | 18:03 |
| adelie | vg05: what does it say when you type `ifconfig -a'. If you can, throw it into a pastebin. And this is a wired connection, not wireless, yes? | 18:03 |
| nickrud | Klockwinder, might well do so. If so, we'll try altering the xorg.conf by hand just a tiny bit | 18:03 |
| vg05 | wired, yes | 18:03 |
| frojnd | I have problem, connecting to nokia 7390 Whn I click on search devices and than on phone and than connect it says: check your spellig and try again: "obex://[00:19:b7:05:95:37]" not valid location.

| Zero4k | Reversing the order / using only the Debian DNS doesn't seem to do anything | 18:04 |
| erUSUL | pr1r: you have nvidia-glx and nvidia-legacy from repos envy is not needed | 18:04 |
| svladcjelli | !tell epswing about cron | 18:04 |
| vg05 | adelie: and link lights are lite on the adapter | 18:04 |
| pr1r | bhhruenig: nope i dont use automatix | 18:04 |
| bruenig | pr1r, why not? | 18:04 |
| svladcjelli | !cron epswing | 18:05 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cron epswing - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:05 |
| vg05 | ok swapping adapters seems to helped | 18:05 |
| pr1r | ljl: i use dual screens and desktop effects... do you> | 18:05 |
| adelie | vg05: My thought is to try `ifconfig eth0 up && dhclient eth0' | 18:05 |
| * Dr_willis dosent see the need for automatix any more. | 18:05 | |
| svladcjelli | the info on the bots is wrong on thew wiki | 18:05 |
| LjL | pr1r: no | 18:05 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: but everything else works/resolves normally...telnet etc | 18:05 |
| pr1r | bruenig: cause ubuntu-restricted-drivers works just fine to ghet what i need from "automatix" | 18:05 |
| * Dr_willis never saw the need for automatix. :) | 18:05 | |
| pr1r | ljl: try that and get pb ack to me on the freezing | 18:05 |
| adelie | vg05: If you didn't configure your card during setup, you need to run those | 18:05 |
| bruenig | pr1r, but for all the other things that it does? why don't you use it, it is faster | 18:05 |
| adelie | brb | 18:05 |
| pr1r | ljl: i cant live with 1 monitor on my computer | 18:06 |
| LjL | pr1r, i doubt i can try dual screen. i've tried compiz, and while it's very dodgy on KDE, it doesn't *freeze* | 18:06 |
| Zero4k | Anything done via IP works fine, if that's what you mean? | 18:06 |
| |Life| | someone knows how can I get to know the socket type of my processor? | 18:06 |
| nickrud | if someone sees Klockwinder looking for me, I'll be right back | 18:06 |
| sethk | pr1r, then run headless | 18:06 |
| vg05 | adelie: after swapping the adapter, it works | 18:06 |
| pr1r | bruenig: your temming me not toii use envy but to use automatix? | 18:06 |
| bruenig | pr1r, you can setup dual screens without envy I assure you, you realize envy is a script right? a front end | 18:06 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: yah...just meant, it's limited to ping | 18:06 |
| bruenig | pr1r, I am telling you that they are essentially the same thing, convenient when they work, catastrophic on failure, foolproof methods are favored in a support channel | 18:06 |
| Dr_willis | the nvidia tools let you set up dual screens. | 18:07 |
| Klockwinder | Well, nothing is new, resolution is back to 800x600 and on the start up it asked me about running in low graphics mode again | 18:07 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: "traceroute hostname" how about that? | 18:07 |
| bruenig | I wonder what all of those dual screen users did without envy or all of the other distros which doesn't use envy, they must all just not use dual screens clearly | 18:07 |
| Klockwinder | 800x600 is still the maximum I have available :( | 18:07 |
| bruenig | envy brought dual screen innovation to linux, in python no less which is damn impressive | 18:08 |
| Dr_willis | bruenig, gee - ive never used envy or automatix to set up twinview | 18:08 |
| gantrixx | It's been a while since I installed Ubuntu | 18:08 |
| svladcjelli | never even heard of envy, i run 2 screens | 18:08 |
| gantrixx | are the iso images "live" CDs where you need an internet connection to complete the install? | 18:08 |
| wols_ | !envy | 18:08 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 18:08 |
| bruenig | Dr_willis, lies | 18:08 |
| svladcjelli | gantrixx: no, you can install with no network | 18:08 |
| LjL | gantrixx: they're "live"... but you don't need a connection | 18:08 |
| wols_ | bruenig: see this? | 18:09 |
| Dr_willis | bruenig, yes. i agree - you are spouting non-facts. The nvidia-settings lets you enable dual screens now also. | 18:09 |
| bruenig | wols_, yeah you got in late, I am mocking envy calm down | 18:09 |
| gantrixx | cool, thanks guys | 18:09 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 18:09 |

| Dr_willis | nvidia-settings, is darn handy. nvidia-xconfig --twinview works also. | 18:10 |
| gantrixx | ok, I'm downloading the ISOs now | 18:10 |
| pegasos | Could someone recommen a program for recording videos from webcam and saving them? | 18:10 |
| bazhang | theremper: just playing, or recording like a tivo | 18:10 |
| gantrixx | after she opens it, if she still prefers Ubuntu, I'll install it for her | 18:10 |
| Dr_willis | theremper, i saw mention of a 'sofa' front end.. but not sure what all it does. | 18:11 |
| gantrixx | I wish you could buy laptops without the OS | 18:11 |
| svladcjelli | pegasos: motion | 18:11 |
| theremper | just playing with full screen menus and remote control | 18:11 |
| theremper | kinda like appletvs thing expect for more codec and dvd playing | 18:11 |
| svladcjelli | pegasos: http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome | 18:11 |
| Klockwinder | Perhaps someone could help me with my audio problem as well? | 18:11 |
| Zero4k | I just wish MS wasn't shoving Vista down our throats. It's obvious that Vista is a total POS, and nobody wants it. | 18:11 |

| erUSUL | Zero4k: you can use dig (man dig) to diagnose DNS problems | 18:13 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: kinda curious...since that technically should be slow in this scenario since it relies on icmp and ttl | 18:13 |
| Zero4k | kitofhawaii: Tracert takes forever too. | 18:14 |

| white_eagle | :D | 18:18 |
| Zero4k | kitofhawaii: Even stranger, yet.. is if I run SSH Server on the ubuntu machine, SSH'ing to it from windows takes forever to get past "Username" (takes 8 seconds to display "Password?:" " | 18:18 |
| marx2k | the mount line is: //192.168.11.7/Music1 /media/MediaCenter/Music1 smbfs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 | 18:18 |

| white_eagle | K | 18:19 |
| Dr_willis | marx2k, is theres some reason to use cifs over smbfs ? | 18:19 |
| crush[A] | svladcjelli, will that install gnome overtop of kde or beside it? | 18:19 |

| Zero4k | Both DNS servers, though? | 18:22 |
| marx2k | err, DR_willis, not Ubotu :) | 18:22 |
| Dr_willis | marx2k, i had issues yesterday with samba. then realized my hosts file was incorrect. :) had the wrong ip to the other machine names. | 18:23 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: no...you have to lower 2003 dc security to allow linux dhcp dynamic registrations...you can put a static A record in there | 18:23 |
| svladcjelli | Zero4k: do you run 2 DNS servers? | 18:23 |

| MohammadBoozary | LjL: tnx | 18:23 |
| marx2k | What I hate about SAMBA is that it will be working perfectly for a week and then all of a sudden... doesnt work at all for no reason | 18:23 |
| hack | %C12hi | 18:24 |
| marx2k | And it's ridiculously hard to tell WHY its not working | 18:24 |
| Dr_willis | marx2k, ive heard that 'somthing' may be changing the workgroup in the smb.conf file. But ive never seen that happen. | 18:24 |

| MacTheMad | ok, ty I think I have something called xpdf installed but no plugin for firefox... also can u tell me is there a package I should install that'll let me configure my servers from the gui? | 18:37 |
| Shane|BGSU | and update to gutsy from there | 18:37 |
| Shane|BGSU | at the moment i'm updating to edgy =( | 18:37 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: it's already installed... | 18:37 |
| adelie | !PAM | 18:37 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pam - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:37 |
| Dr_willis | Shane|BGSU, did you try the alternative isntall cd? | 18:37 |
| Shane|BGSU | yeah, Dr_willis | 18:37 |

| ardya | hi folks | 18:38 |
| Shane|BGSU | it would only go to the part where it sets up the software | 18:38 |
| adelie | :( | 18:38 |
| Shane|BGSU | and then it would fail | 18:38 |
| freebeetee | can fsck destroy data? | 18:38 |
| Shane|BGSU | can i update straight from edgy to gutsy? | 18:38 |
| Dr_willis | Shane|BGSU, thats weird. :) ive not had a machine yet that dident work with the alt-installer. | 18:38 |
| Shane|BGSU | just bypass fiesty | 18:38 |
| svladcjelli | freebeetee: yes | 18:38 |
| freebeetee | damn | 18:38 |
| adelie | freebeetee: not with default options, no | 18:38 |
| eroticon | whats do-release-upgrade ? | 18:38 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: oh? | 18:38 |
| freebeetee | what are the default options? | 18:38 |
| Zero4k | Sorry. I've been a Windows administrator my entire career, and only dabble in linux. Unfortunately, linux keeps putting me off, since it's so darned complex to fix anything. | 18:38 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: freebeetee: fsck without any arguments :) | 18:39 |
| freebeetee | if i do a fsck -a /dev/hda4 | 18:39 |
| Shane|BGSU | Dr_willis, can i update straight from edgy to gutsy? | 18:39 |
| freebeetee | hmm ok | 18:39 |
| Shane|BGSU | or do i absolutely have to update to fiesty? | 18:39 |
| lonecrow | anyone able to get cacti working properly from gutsy? | 18:39 |
| rockoman | hey guys | 18:39 |
| Dr_willis | Shane|BGSU, i never update, and you have to go version to version. | 18:39 |
| ardya | I'd like to have gnome use artsd as sound system, and to have artsd start with a particular command line invoking jack use, and to have jackd start before artsd is started, is this possible under gnome? | 18:39 |
| freebeetee | sounds really bad i pressed yes very often and it said clearing blocks | 18:39 |
| Dr_willis | Shane|BGSU, i always do clean installs. :) | 18:39 |
| Shane|BGSU | ah oh well | 18:39 |
| adelie | freebeetee: the -a argument will leave you open to potential problems | 18:39 |
| svladcjelli | adelie: freebeetee: for example http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=498078 - yes that was a mistake, but fsck is a dangerous program, you should know what you are doing | 18:40 |
| Shane|BGSU | i used to use ubuntu, and then i stopped and went back to windows | 18:40 |
| Shane|BGSU | the last distro i had used before today was hoary | 18:40 |
| MasterShrek | Shane|BGSU: backing up and doing a clean install is always better | 18:40 |
| Shane|BGSU | and man it's come a long way | 18:40 |
| Jadd76 | lost connection there for a sec, so did anyone chat to me something? | 18:40 |
| adelie | freebeetee: the only time you should -a is if fsck foo returned errors and you looked at them all and felt comfortable with the computer figuring them all out | 18:40 |
| rockoman | hey is there a way i can partitioned my HD to give me space to Vista? my computer is dual booted with ubuntu and vista | 18:40 |
| Shane|BGSU | and i'm only on dapper right now | 18:40 |
| PetterS | Zero4k, complex?? ever met someone how can fix a windows installation that is gone bad, without reinstalling everything? | 18:40 |
| Dr_willis | Its really weird that you are having so many issues with Gutsy. | 18:40 |
| * TuX_Claudiu . | 18:40 | |
| Dr_willis | I wonder if the disk is being burnt properly. | 18:40 |
| ardya | I'd like to have gnome use artsd as sound system, and to have artsd start with a particular command line invoking jack use, and to have jackd start before artsd is started, is this possible under gnome? | 18:41 |
| Shane|BGSU | yeah it was | 18:41 |
| Shane|BGSU | it was a problem with gnome | 18:41 |
| Shane|BGSU | or something, when i did the disk check utility thing | 18:41 |
| MasterShrek | PetterS: boot the windows install cd and try a repair | 18:41 |
| Shane|BGSU | one of the gnome setup files was bad | 18:41 |
| freebeetee | i am tryin to recover my ext3 patition, i can see files so far but they are no the right type any suggestions whatelse i can do to recover it | 18:41 |
| vg05 | whats the best tool to use to configure an nvidia fx5200 video card with 7.10? | 18:41 |
| rockoman | hey is there a way i can partitioned my HD to give me space to Vista? my computer is dual booted with ubuntu and vista | 18:41 |
| svladcjelli | freebeetee: you should look into dd_rhelp and ddrescue, and you should take an image of that disk and work on that | 18:42 |
| svladcjelli | not on the disk itself | 18:42 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: freebeetee: agreed, fsck does have some very powerful options that can get you in trouble. Usually anything that is "do everything automatically without asking any questions" is a BAD way to go with any tool, particularly those that are in /sbin | 18:42 |
| Dr_willis | vg05, install the nvidia drivers, then use the nvidia tools. | 18:42 |
| adelie | !sbin | 18:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sbin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:42 |
| Shane|BGSU | Dr_willis, has hardy been released yet? | 18:42 |
| MasterShrek | Shane|BGSU: not until april | 18:42 |
| Jadd76 | !whatdoesthisdo | 18:42 |
| Zero4k | Hey now, just about every windows issue that I've run across, can be fixed by reinstalling drivers / reconfiguring the problem software, and doesn't involve me spending two hours at a command line. But I don't want to get into the *nix versus windows debate right now. :P | 18:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about whatdoesthisdo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:42 |
| vg05 | Dr_willis: did that, every time i reboot ubuntu says im in low-graphics mode | 18:42 |
| adelie | ?!? :( | 18:42 |
| ardya | hi folks...I'd like to have gnome use artsd as sound system, and to have artsd start with a particular command line invoking jack use, and to have jackd start before artsd is started, is this possible under gnome? | 18:42 |
| svladcjelli | ardya: it is possible, but not necessarily easy, and you will not be doing it in gnome | 18:43 |
| MacTheMad | anyone... what package(s) is best to install to setup & manage my servers | 18:43 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: linux has a higher standard of usability lately. it's worth sticking with it to see how much more powerful, stable and ethical it is compared to windows. remember that you encounter problems on both linux and windows, it's just you are incredibly used to only the windows problems (so far) | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | vg05, reconfigure the X server after installing the drivers perhaps. | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | !nvidia | vg05 | 18:43 |
| ubotu | vg05: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 18:43 |
| adelie | Is there a way to get SHA256 support for PAM? | 18:43 |
| ardya | "not be doing it in gnome"? | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | !fixres | vg05 | 18:43 |
| ubotu | vg05: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 18:43 |
| Zero4k | I'll admit, my problem is that I love my GUI's, and linux utterly flunks when it comes to a good GUI that is akin to windows. | 18:44 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: that's not true anymore | 18:44 |
| MasterShrek | Zero4k: you are kidding right? | 18:44 |
| adelie | Zero4k: I have felt the same way | 18:44 |
| svladcjelli | this is offtopic guys | 18:44 |
| ardya | svladcjelli: "not be doing it in gnome"? Can you elaborate? | 18:44 |
| MasterShrek | yea, lets not get into it here | 18:44 |
| Gothfunc | oops :) | 18:44 |
| Zero4k | They ARE getting better, though, which is why I'm looking at eventually migrating some users into ubntu boxes, but yeah.. different place. :P | 18:44 |
| ardya | Zero4k: the first musconception is that a gui "must be like Windows" | 18:44 |
| adelie | Zero4k: Until I really took the time to read all the man pages, not I can't much tollerate any GUI, ESPECIALLY windows | 18:45 |
| svladcjelli | ardya: it will involve some advanced commands | 18:45 |
| Zero4k | Open a DCC chat or whatnot, if you want to go into this further. | 18:45 |
| Klockwinder | Just finished editing x-server xorg, gonna ctrl + alt + backspace now | 18:45 |
| Shane|BGSU | Zero4k, no way | 18:45 |
| adelie | Zero4k: not = now* | 18:45 |
| ardya | svladcjelli: does 10 years as a linux admin qualify me to execute commands? can you be painfully detailed and specific, or point me to a resource that is detailed enough to explain, thanks | 18:46 |
| adelie | ardya: ??? | 18:46 |
| svladcjelli | ardya: then you should be able to edit rc levels and that is what it will take, this is slightly too complex to explain in IRC, I would check on google myself | 18:46 |
| Zero4k | *Shrug* I just can't stand having to edit text files to get things to work. I like being able to administer things using a mouse. :P | 18:46 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: you can get a 26 button mouse if it makes you feel better :) | 18:47 |
| ardya | svladcjelli: users sessions are not exec'd from rc, gdm is. this is not an rc issue, it should be strictly a users session edit | 18:47 |
| Zero4k | Plus, I've been frustrated for the last month, trying to get this test box to be able to authenticate using kerberos.. and that's been givign me hell. | 18:47 |
| svladcjelli | ardya: your sound servers run as your user? | 18:47 |
| Zero4k | Seems like 'nix hates our domain, here. | 18:48 |
| ardya | of course, why wouldnt they | 18:48 |
| adelie | Zero4k: Unfortunately any time you have a GUI, you have sacrafices. Many tools have WAY too many arguments that could be passed to make anything that looked half way descent. | 18:48 |
| ardya | gnome isnt exec'd until AFTER user login | 18:48 |
| MasterShrek | Zero4k: you overlook the power of the command line | 18:48 |
| vg05 | bah, everytime i reboot, it goes low graphics mode and thinks there are 4 screens | 18:48 |
| svladcjelli | ardya: you should check out gstreamer and pulseaudio and see if they do what you want, you could also check out dynebolic | 18:49 |
| mutable | please, what is the name of that mac style swithcher plugin in compiz, you push mouse in some corner and all windows appears on desktop.. ? i cannot find it | 18:49 |
| procdaemon | whe i discoverd the command line is when i fell in love with linux | 18:49 |
| vg05 | mutable = scale | 18:49 |
| meh | eh | 18:49 |
| MasterShrek | mutable: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 18:49 |
| meh | anyone got a gyration media center remote working? | 18:49 |
| mutable | vg05: thx :) | 18:49 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: *nix doesn't hate your domain...ms just devolves the concept of a standard into what they consider suggestions ;) | 18:49 |
| vg05 | np | 18:49 |
| ardya | svladcjelli: ok, so you don;t know, would have been quicker to just say so. Since I already specified what I need, its not lesser alternatives I'm looking for. Thanks for your time, have a nice day | 18:50 |
| Gothfunc | adelie: a good combination of gui "just works" interfaces and config files/console commands is pretty optimal imo | 18:50 |
| adelie | Zero4k: for example, a GUI that passed kernel arguments. The number of flaws exist there. Usually at any point kernel arguments need to be passed, graphical interface is unavailable. Also, there are 2-3 common optional arguments that are passed, but there are hundreds. Additionally, modular support for a command is easy to implement on a command line, where as a GUI must be completly rewritten | 18:50 |
| svladcjelli | ardya: good luck :) Hope those 10 years come in handy | 18:51 |
| Zero4k | I dunno. I'd give up "extra commands" in a heartbeat, for a nice easily-navigatible GUI. | 18:51 |
| Johnny_5 | hello all | 18:52 |
| adelie | Gothfunc: I like using a GUI for configuring a GUI because they are the same medium, where as a "customize your xorg.conf" file is ... scary | 18:52 |
| ardya | svladcjelli: I've been researching this for two weeks. its why I dumped gnome and use a special config to have this functionality. I was just hoping outside of hope that there was some ubuntu-specifc thing to make this happen, apparently there isnt | 18:52 |
| adelie | Zero4k: Well, that is exactly the issue. What happens when you need those optional components. Btw, if this is all surrounding gnome configuration, then you want KDE | 18:53 |
| Zero4k | Having to memorize a ton of commands just frustrates me. I know my way around the basic unix commands, but not much further than that. I've seen some people use wacky command-line search commands and such, and it makes my head spin. | 18:53 |
| chemisus | i am trying to get java working with firefox on kubuntu 7.10. every tutorial ive came across says to install sun-java[5|6]-[jre|plugin]. i can only find the -jre and not the -plugin though. is there a repository that i need for the -plugin? | 18:53 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: the console search stuff is very powerful, that's why they use them | 18:53 |
| adelie | Zero4k: Actually, you would likely prefer KDE in general. it is all about bringing a windows like feel to Linux. I would, but I am alergic | 18:53 |
| Dr_willis | Zero4k, its all about legos and layers. :) You build up complex commands from simpiler bits. | 18:54 |
| * robdig remembers when you could configure windows at the command line | 18:54 | |
| small_stripes | i notice a bug in firefox running on ubuntu 7.10 | 18:54 |
| Dr_willis | bits of smaller progams make up the layers that the next layer builds on. :) | 18:54 |
| svladcjelli | ardya: it can be done on any distro, you just will not find gui tools for it necessarily, and probably you can do whatever it is you want much easier. | 18:54 |
| small_stripes | u gotto install the adobe flash player seperate | 18:54 |
| small_stripes | else it will take up lots of resources | 18:54 |
| Zero4k | Most importantly, Linux has nothing in the least, like active directory for windows. | 18:54 |
| Mistiko | Hi there I have a big problem with the fact that I seem to be unable to find "libGLw.so.1.0" for UBUNTU 7.10 anywhere!! | 18:54 |
| Keegan7390 | Enter text here... | 18:55 |
| pLr | can someone help me, i need to setup 30 ssh tunnels to 1 host, all 30 are behind a NAT. I need help plz | 18:55 |
| Mistiko | Can anybody help I am desparate | 18:55 |
| adelie | Zero4k: Don't you have to remember what the GUI does, or how it works in order to get it to work too? I feel like most of the command line / "edit this text file" stuff in Linux is stuff you just can't do in windows | 18:55 |
| Zero4k | Active Directory is a godsend for managing users. | 18:55 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: ldap? | 18:55 |
| svladcjelli | Zero4k: gimme a break man, it is not true, and this is not a windows chat | 18:55 |
| Dr_willis | I just put the users /home on a nfs share. | 18:55 |
| adelie | Zero4k: ??? That is because AD is poor. NFS is way better in terms of security, reliability, and flexibility | 18:55 |
| Gothfunc | svladcjelli: the only way he can discover that there is an equivalent to a windows thing in linux is to mention windows, surely | 18:56 |
| chemisus | !java | 18:56 |
| 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 | 18:56 |

| annihilus_ | hello, can anyone tell me if its possible to close rhythmbox to the system tray | 18:56 |
| Zero4k | I dont even know what NFS is. :P | 18:56 |
| Mistiko | Does anybody know what ever happened with the "libGLw.so --> Xt/Motif OpenGL Drawing area Widget Library" in UBUNTU 710?? | 18:56 |
| MasterShrek | !nfs | 18:56 |
| ubotu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 18:56 |
| adelie | Zero4k: The issue is that nfs can be used a million different ways, not just as an active directory | 18:56 |
| svladcjelli | Gothfunc: if he was asking a question maybe | 18:56 |
| chemisus | !multiverse | 18:56 |
| ubotu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource | 18:56 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: you probably need to find out more about what's available in linux before judging it | 18:56 |
| Zero4k | Jeez, a tad touchy? o.o | 18:57 |
| Mistiko | Yes have tried opening multiverse but nothing?? | 18:57 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: generally everything is, apart from industry standard stuff like adobe photoshop, but you can run that on vmware, virtualbox or whatever anyway | 18:57 |
| Mistiko | uboto where you answering me ? | 18:57 |
| adelie | Zero4k: Gothfunc: Well, he is in this forum, so he certaintly wants to see the light... but I know what it is like to come from flatland... I mean windows | 18:58 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: some people are touchy, but half the time they're often quite helpful | 18:58 |
| MasterShrek | Mistiko: ubotu is a bot, when chemisus put !multiverse it called a factoid from the bot | 18:58 |
| eventualbuddha | i've installed RubyGems on Ubuntu, but when I install a gem that includes a binary (like rake), the binary is not placed in my PATH (or maybe anywhere). is there a PATH entry I need to add or is something else going on? | 18:58 |
| Zero4k | Here's my predicament, so I don't look like a total jerk here: The company I work for is an entirely Windows domain, with an AS400 server thrown in for good measure. We've never used Linux here until I showed up. | 18:58 |
| adelie | For example, I only just recently (yesterday) learned about the beauty of dd, and wow! | 18:58 |
| Mistiko | gotha .. thanks 8) | 18:58 |
| Myrtti | dd <3 | 18:59 |
| adelie | Zero4k: Noone makes it to this channel without having potential | 18:59 |
| * MasterShrek <3 as400 | 18:59 | |
| Zero4k | I *want* to move away from Windows if I can, since the licensing costs the company an utter fortune, but Linux has given me and my boss nothing but headaches in terms of compatibility with software / networking issues x.x | 18:59 |
| Zero4k | Oh, dont get me started on the AS400. :P | 18:59 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: my suggestion is don't integrate linux into your working environment proper until you've piloted it for at least a few months | 18:59 |
| === crdlb_ is now known as crdlb | ||
| Dr_willis | amazing that all these other companies are using linux then.. wonder what they are doing differently. | 19:00 |
| Myrtti | Zero4k: you need a guinea pig | 19:00 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: as400...tn3270 giving you problems? | 19:00 |
| Zero4k | Well, the secondary DNS server is a Debian box with WebMIN on it. | 19:00 |
| Myrtti | get an internee | 19:00 |
| eventualbuddha | ah, more googling was needed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=595029 | 19:00 |
| adelie | Zero: probably one of the biggest things in terms of networking is that there are a ton more things you CAN do that you may not have even realized existed, and now instead of 1 weak program, you have 10 very powerful yet simple utilities | 19:00 |

| buggeredfstab | thanks! | 19:03 |
| svladcjelli | Zero4k: there are linux vpn clients | 19:03 |

| Gothfunc | Zero4k: all the stuff you want to do is possible, you just need to spend more time with linux and google | 19:05 |
| Zero4k | Hidden folders, and the like. | 19:05 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: and the ubuntu wiki | 19:06 |
| svladcjelli | Zero4k: backing up /home/you gets all your user settings | 19:06 |
| Mistiko | mastershrek .. | 19:06 |
| MasterShrek | Mistiko .. | 19:06 |
| Mistiko | compile from where ? | 19:06 |
| Mistiko | I cannot find the source code anywhere? | 19:06 |
| Zero4k | The biggest thing that confuses me, is the question of "Okay, I installed (X) program, where the heck did it install to?" Like, "where is the /Program Files" of linux? | 19:07 |
| Zero4k | Sometimes things end up in /etc, other times in /usr/share/bin It seems totally random. | 19:07 |
| adelie | Zero4k: well, it is like a combination of the Documents and Settings folder in windows, but with things arranged fairly differently. In Linux, which I just did recently, is have one machine with a directory that is going to store everything about each user, think a universal home directory. You can then add to each computers fstab "/"theserver" /home nfs defaults 0 0", or mount -t nfs "theserver" /home... | 19:07 |
| MasterShrek | Mistiko: hmm, looking for ya gimme a min :) | 19:08 |
| Mistiko | ZeroConf: usually always in /usr/local/share or /usr/local.... /etc is only for config and init files | 19:08 |
| Mistiko | I apreceate it 8) | 19:08 |
| svladcjelli | Zero4k: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard | 19:08 |
| MasterShrek | !info libglw1-mesa | 19:08 |
| ubotu | Package libglw1-mesa does not exist in gutsy | 19:08 |
| nickrud | Zero4k, dpkg -L <package> shows where all the files went; adding | grep bin will show the executables | 19:08 |
| Mistiko | Yep | 19:08 |
| Mistiko | the bot seems to know | 19:09 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: in windows, some things are installed into program files, some in the registry, some in documents and settings... | 19:09 |
| bulmer | Zero4k-> for packages installed, you can use dpkg to tell you where it will attempt to install the system | 19:09 |
| bulmer | err per nickrud.. | 19:09 |
| adelie | Zero4k: Now each time a user is created, it is (nearly) available for every computer. sure /etc could be mounted via NFS, but I would recommend against it, unless you have a different NFS /etc directory for each exact hardware configuration. there is too much hardware specific stuff in /etc | 19:09 |
| robdig | Mistiko: looks like there is a deb for it...check out http://packages.debian.org/sid/libglw1-mesa-dev | 19:09 |
| Mistiko | MasterShrek: When you guys put a ! what do you mean!! | 19:10 |
| Mistiko | ?? | 19:10 |
| mikefoo | I so hate gentoo... =( | 19:10 |
| B-rabbit | hi guyz...new to linux...how do i find out the name of my root device? | 19:10 |
| Zero4k | adelie: I have no idea what you just said, in your last two messages. Those commands are like greek to me. :P | 19:10 |
| Mistiko | robdig: Thanks I will try it out and see | 19:10 |
| robdig | Mistiko: they are requesting info from the bot | 19:10 |
| adelie | Zero4K: ANY directory can be mounted via NFS. Also, local machine policy does not over ride network policy. Also, network policy can be different on each the server and the client | 19:10 |
| differentreality | paste <(ls -l /) <(ls -l) | sed 's/^/printf "%-70s%-70s\n" "/;s/$/"/;s/\t/" "/' | sh <--- in this command how can I use ls on 2 specific paths that I have stored in 2 files ? | 19:10 |
| bulmer | Zero4k-> an introductory book on ubuntu would be good to have, play with a lil | 19:11 |
| MasterShrek | Mistiko: its for the bot | 19:11 |
| Gothfunc | adelie: he needs to know the basics first | 19:11 |
| adelie | Zero4K: using one /etc directory for all your computers is bad unless they are all EXACTLY the same hardware | 19:11 |
| Gothfunc | adelie: i.e. what all the things you're talking about are | 19:11 |
| Gothfunc | adelie: like nfs | 19:11 |
| flo__ | my current python version is 2.5 ; How can i install a pkg for 2.4 pls? | 19:11 |
| flo__ | hello! | 19:11 |
| Gothfunc | adelie: basically, he needs to be pointed to reading material | 19:11 |
| Mistiko | MasterShrek: This is the 1st time a join a chat so I am being quite a n00b | 19:12 |
| Zero4k | I really need to head to Barnes & Nobles and buy a book, I think. This is giving me a headache, no offense, guys! | 19:12 |
| MasterShrek | its ok Mistiko :) | 19:12 |
| adelie | Gothfunc: Zero4k: True, I threw out an NFS explanation real quick... which can easily be too much, sorry | 19:12 |
| nickrud | flo__, sudo aptitude install python2.4 | 19:12 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: maybe just read the ubuntu manual? | 19:12 |
| MasterShrek | noobs are welcome here, they may get laughed at in #gentoo :P | 19:12 |
| Zero4k | I took courses on Solaris 9, but they were pretty basic courses. | 19:12 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: then the wiki for reference | 19:12 |
| NNoeoNN | Hiya guys ^^ | 19:13 |
| procdaemon | B-rabbit: mount is probably the command youre looking for | 19:13 |
| Gothfunc | Zero4k: http://help.ubuntu.com/ | 19:13 |
| nickrud | Zero4k, also, tldp.org has a lot of good guides | 19:13 |
| bulmer | Zero4k-> i like the ubuntu linux book bible..i borrowed mine from public library | 19:13 |
| Zero4k | I'd rather get an actual book, I think. Does Sybex put out a book for Ubuntu? | 19:13 |
| * lukewarm zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. hey. wah... where am i? | 19:13 | |
| NNoeoNN | i got a question for ya all, how the heck do i change permissions on other disks? | 19:14 |
| Gothfunc | zero4k google for sybex ubuntu | 19:14 |
| adelie | Zero4k: I would recommend against buying books, just because the material is usually out dated by the time they get published. There are better guides, or new features that make things easier | 19:14 |
| SpookyET | I noticed that Ubuntu has recognised some of my multimedia keys, but not all. Where are they defined? | 19:14 |
| nickrud | NNoeoNN, depends on the disk, for example vfat you can't change them directly | 19:14 |
| Zero4k | Ah... okay. BRB. | 19:14 |
| adaro | does anyone know how to force "desktop effects" to enable advanced effects when you did not install the ubuntu nvidia drivers but installed the binary version from the nvidia site | 19:14 |
| procdaemon | NNoeoNN: u mean chmod? | 19:14 |
| linuxnewperson | wifi unbuntu laptop ..but want g+ or nimo yes or no ? | 19:14 |
| nickrud | SpookyET, system->prefs->keyboard shortcuts , mostly | 19:14 |
| NNoeoNN | nickrud, what do u mean by "vfat" (ntfs, fat16, fat32?) | 19:14 |
| MasterShrek | NNoeoNN: you have to mount the partition so users can modify it, whats your mount command look like? | 19:15 |
| Mistiko | Would the debian packages actually be compatible with the latest version of GUTSY?? | 19:15 |
| nickrud | NNoeoNN, fat12, 16, 32 | 19:15 |
| adaro | it keeps asking me to download the restricted drivers but i dont need those, when i type compiz it works fine | 19:15 |
| adelie | adaro: why not use the one from the restricted drivers tool? | 19:15 |
| adaro | adelie: new kernel | 19:15 |
| adaro | the prepackaged ones dont work with a custom kernel | 19:15 |
| NNoeoNN | MasterShrek, all the disks are mounted, can't get proper acces to them though | 19:15 |
| Flannel | Mistiko: debian packages aren't binary compatable with ubuntu packages. However, source packages ought to be more or less | 19:15 |
| adelie | adaro: you upgraded the kernel beyond the ubuntu supported version? | 19:15 |
| adelie | adaro: ah | 19:15 |
| nickrud | Mistiko, some, the ones that use scripting languages | 19:15 |
| MasterShrek | NNoeoNN: how did you mount them? are they in /etc/fstab ? | 19:16 |
| bense | if i have an intel core 2 duo, should i get the x86 or amd64 build? | 19:16 |
| adaro | adelie: well not me but a collegue i am helping out :) | 19:16 |
| nickrud | Flannel, so the toolchain is back out of sync again? | 19:16 |
| adelie | adaro: In tyhat case, you may want to consider building Compiz the same way | 19:16 |
| NNoeoNN | MasterShrek, yupp | 19:16 |
| bense | intel/amd 64 build | 19:16 |
| Flannel | nickrud: No idea about the current situation, but that's the boilerplate response ;) | 19:16 |
| MasterShrek | NNoeoNN: let me take a look at your /etc/fstab, can you pastebin it? | 19:16 |
| MasterShrek | !paste | NNoeoNN | 19:16 |
| ubotu | NNoeoNN: 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) | 19:16 |
| adaro | adelie: compiz works fine, its just that the "enable desktop effects" screen refuses to acknowlage that | 19:16 |
| Mistiko | Ok, so if I download the source libglw1-meas source package I would then have to compile it ?? | 19:16 |
| NNoeoNN | MasterShrek, one of the disks mounts by it self, the other i mount by typing "sudo mount /dev/sda1" in terminal | 19:17 |
| adaro | i can start compiz from the commandline and it will work just fine | 19:17 |
| nickrud | Flannel, I use it also, a lot. Even if my part message is a thanks to debian :) | 19:17 |
| adelie | adaro: the basic one, or the advanced one? | 19:17 |
| adaro | adelie: both, it does not seem to recognize the nvidia driver so it wont even try | 19:17 |
| Flannel | Mistiko: Which package? | 19:17 |
| MasterShrek | NNoeoNN: you need to mount them so that your user can read/write to them, there are a few ways to do this, i think if you pass the umask=0000 option, it should preserve permissions on the drive (assuming its linux filesystem) | 19:18 |
| sanguisdex | any ine istall the new ati drivers? as they as slow for you as there are for me? | 19:18 |
| Mistiko | Thanks guys it seems to work !!! | 19:18 |
| Zero4k | Oh well. At any rate, I still can't figure out this DNS issue with these two computers. | 19:18 |
| NNoeoNN | MasterShrek, think i found my problem.... Seems like i don't have a fstab file anymore ^^ | 19:18 |
| vg05 | sanguisdex: im having my own issues trying to make nvidia fx5200 drivers work | 19:18 |
| nickrud | sanguisdex, unbearably slow on an ati 200 , the cube didn't rotate, it jumped | 19:18 |
| MasterShrek | NNoeoNN: otherwise, youll have to just use chmod for ntfs or fat32 i think | 19:18 |
| MasterShrek | NNoeoNN: /etc/fstab is gone? | 19:19 |
| Zero4k | Nothing is working on it, and I'm ready to rip the network cards out of them and go back to the cup-and-string method. | 19:19 |
| adelie | adaro: :( hmm... This may be a bit extreme and may not work, but I wouldf bet you could spoof the name and version of the old driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in the Devices section | 19:19 |
| nickrud | sneakernets rule! | 19:19 |
| sanguisdex | I have a mobility radion x1400 and last week I used envy to uograde and man oh man it hutsles | 19:19 |
| Mistiko | Flannel: It just installed and TADAH .... hurrah hurrah ;) | 19:20 |
| adelie | adaro: I have had to do that before.. but if it ACTUALLY incompatible, you can certaintly get undesired effects | 19:20 |
| NNoeoNN | MasterShrek, srry my fault, looked in the wrong dir xD | 19:20 |
| paradroid | Hi. Is it possible to copy a DVD on the fly, i. e. without having to create a image first? | 19:20 |
| Zero4k | Sneakernet would be great, if the floppy drive worked on this computer. The floppy has been busted since the great dust vacuum-cleaner incident of 2001. | 19:20 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: unfortunately we've narrowed it down to two things: ICMP and DNS in combination. as to why just those two things are having a problem on those machines i'm not sure | 19:20 |
| MasterShrek | you scared me for a second NNoeoNN lol | 19:20 |
| adaro | adelie: i dont think you list the version of the driver in xorg.conf | 19:20 |
| jamiejackson | i haven't used my mysql in a while (maybe not since gutsy upgrade). when i try to use it, i get: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) <--- how to fix? | 19:20 |
| Flannel | Mistiko: libgl1-mesa? That's in ubuntu, you don't need debian packages for that | 19:20 |
| JDogHerman | jack: i figured it out | 19:20 |
| adaro | adelie: and the name is the same | 19:20 |
| Mistiko | So I suppose that "libs" do not actually need to be strictly binary compatible then I suppose! | 19:20 |
| adelie | paradroid: I think ACIDrip can do that | 19:20 |
| NNoeoNN | MasterShrek, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48257/ | 19:20 |
| adaro | adelie: so i am not quite sure how they do the check | 19:20 |
| docmur | does any one have that problem when Azureus loads it crashs and given a java error | 19:20 |
| NNoeoNN | MasterShrek, Scared the shit outta me to ^^ I'm a noob, but i know some of the basics :P | 19:21 |
| adelie | adaro: well, is it nv, or nvidia? | 19:21 |
| === BilleniumZzZ is now known as BIllenium | ||
| nickrud | Mistiko, oh, absolutely they do, but don't tell anyone it worked, cuz next release it might not | 19:21 |
| === SANE is now known as S4N3 | ||
| paradroid | adante: I don't really want to rip/re-encode the contents of a DVD but simply make a direct copy of it. | 19:21 |
| MasterShrek | NNoeoNN: is that sdb1 partition empty, or does it have file on it? | 19:21 |
| adaro | adelie: nvidia | 19:22 |
| adelie | one sec | 19:22 |
| kitofhawaii | zero4k: never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon hurtling down the highway filled with tapes :) | 19:22 |
| NNoeoNN | MasterShrek, it's empty for the moment, i'm considering using it for another ubuntu/linux distro | 19:22 |
| Flannel | Mistiko: libgl1-mesa is in ubuntu, you don't need debian packages for that. | 19:22 |
| bsizzle | hey does anybody here know about the NAT error when intsalling BitTyrant | 19:22 |
| Zero4k | Ah, the age-old "Truck filled with tapes" addage :) | 19:22 |
| MasterShrek | NNoeoNN: either way i guess, you should be able to do just, sudo chown -R <user> /media/sdb1 | 19:22 |
| MasterShrek | NNoeoNN: put your user's name in place of <user> | 19:23 |
| Mistiko | Flannel: libglw1 not just libgl1 | 19:23 |
| cyphy | how do you set compiz as standard window-manager? | 19:23 |
| sanguisdex | vg05: have you tried envy? | 19:23 |
| Zero4k | Speaking of Bandwidth, I need to make our CFO stop being so cheap, and finally upgrade the cheezy T1's we have here. | 19:23 |
| Mistiko | YFlannel forgot the "w" | 19:23 |
| MasterShrek | sanguisdex: dont suggest envy | 19:23 |
| NNoeoNN | MasterShrek, should i do that to all the other partitions to? | 19:23 |
| busfahrer | Excuse me, a buddy of mine just called me, he's on an offline box with Ubuntu 7.10 trying to get it online, the box has a Fritz ISDN card. What should I tell him? | 19:23 |
| paradroid | Is there any software out there that is capable of copying a CD/DVD directly to a blank CD/DVD without creating an image first? | 19:23 |
| erUSUL | cyphy: System>Preferences>appearance | 19:23 |
| vg05 | no, going to give that a shot next | 19:23 |
| MasterShrek | !envy | 19:23 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 19:23 |
| MasterShrek | NNoeoNN: if they dont have operating system files on them, you should be able to | 19:23 |
| NNoeoNN | good, thnx m8 ^^ | 19:24 |
| Mistiko | The files I needed where libGLw.so.1 libGLw.so.1.0.0 | 19:24 |
| erUSUL | paradroid: gnomebaker? brasero? | 19:24 |
| adelie | adaro: unfortunatly, I am not using a computer with even a 3d card atm. "Intel Graphics", but I know there is advanced documentation for the device specifications for the linux driver on their web site. There are a lot of options that can be set in the driver that are not specified in xorg.conf be default.... | 19:24 |
| paradroid | erUSUL: I do not see any way to do a on-the-fly copy. | 19:24 |
| bulmer | busfahrer-> he has another modem perhaps? | 19:24 |
| sanguisdex | MasterShrek envy is just a series of shell scripts, why is it not supported? | 19:24 |
| Mistiko | They where no where to be seem man it was driving me crazy ... only came out in SUSE and FEDORA posts | 19:25 |
| MasterShrek | sanguisdex: it can cause more problems, that can be much harder to work out later | 19:25 |
| cyphy | erUSUL: deos compiz get started automaticly with system start? | 19:25 |
| jamiejackson | what's the command to start mysql in ubuntu (gutsy)? | 19:25 |
| === salty is now known as Crooper | ||

| === crdlb_ is now known as crdlb | ||
| Mistiko | THank you guys ... the help has been very valuable ... good luck ;) | 19:26 |
| NNoeoNN | jamiejackson, mysql in terminal i think ^^ | 19:26 |
| Mistiko | Bye | 19:26 |
| ziimp | jamiejackson: maybe /ezc/init.d/mysql-d start =P | 19:26 |
| John_R | whoo. just had a panic attack | 19:26 |
| Zero4k | Compiz actually worked out of the box on my T42. | 19:26 |
| John_R | got some new laptop memory, put it in here, and when i restarted the machine it gave me mad fsck warnings | 19:26 |
| Zero4k | Which is a nice change. Beryl took me days to get working on older linux versions. | 19:26 |
| erUSUL | paradroid: in brasero one of the four main options is a direct copy | 19:26 |
| jamiejackson | ziimp: close, thx: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start | 19:27 |
| mapd | xlcfg -g | 19:27 |
| John_R | so i fsck, it fixed a few dozen problems, now it works again. but it was scary. time for some backups i wot | 19:27 |
| mapd | oops | 19:27 |
| adaro | adelie: i know there are a lot of options but thats not the issue, it runs fine | 19:27 |
| NNoeoNN | MasterShrek, don't seem to work, got no acces to either drives :S | 19:27 |
| paradroid | erUSUL: Thank you. I missed that. I'll give it a go and see how it works out. | 19:27 |
| adaro | if i execute compiz from the commandline everything is peachy, i just need to convince ubuntu | 19:28 |
| sanguisdex | MasterShrek: can you point me to so some documention these envy issues | 19:28 |
| MasterShrek | sanguisdex: not really, i go by word of mouth | 19:28 |
| NNoeoNN | A true master then! | 19:28 |
| Zero4k | I *will* say this.. Compiz / Beryl is ages ahead of Vista's crap-tacular waste of resources. | 19:28 |
| procdaemon | sudo rm -rf / | 19:28 |

| adelie | Zero4k: Amen!* | 19:29 |

| procdaemon | stdin: wrong chat | 19:29 |
| MasterShrek | procdaemon: leave | 19:30 |
| procdaemon | why | 19:30 |
| Zero4k | Vista wouldn't even run on this T42, but Compiz has no problem whatsoever. Sure, it lags a ltitle bit on the higher graphics.. but the laptop is 3+ years old! | 19:30 |
| stdin | procdaemon: just don't do it again | 19:30 |
| harking | anyone know of a reason that would cause my hard drives to be discovered in a different order on reboot? for example, they used to be drive 1 -> hda drive 2 -> hdb but now they are switched | 19:30 |
| erUSUL | paradroid: no problem | 19:30 |
| magnetron | Zero4k: wow | 19:30 |
| adelie | adaro: sorry if these all sound like bad options, but what about changing out the script that starts metacity with compiz?so it starts automatically. I think that is all the GUI does | 19:30 |
| procdaemon | stdin: I said it was the wrong chat dude. dont be so uppity | 19:30 |
| paradroid | erUSUL: Looking good so far, but that's gonna take a while - far longer than I had thought. ;) | 19:30 |

| stdin | procdaemon: I wasn't being "uppity", just asking you no to post that as a lot of users in here will blindly try any command they see | 19:31 |
| adelie | adaro: one sec... let me look | 19:31 |
| adaro | adelie: i could start it automatically with the session i suppose | 19:31 |

| vg05 | nothing worked | 19:36 |
| Cpudan80 | Does anyone know where the symlink is supposed to point? | 19:36 |
| NNoeoNN | MasterShrek, Can't find it at all | 19:37 |
| vg05 | most the time it would come back and say low graphics and i could make 1 monitor work, but when i turned on the second, it would throw everything out of wack | 19:37 |
| adaro | adelie: thanks, i guess that will have to do | 19:37 |
| profanephobia | vg05, personally i would just reconfigure xserver-xorg | 19:37 |

| MasterShrek | NNoeoNN: yea do that, we can make symlinks to your /home/nnoeonn directory | 19:38 |
| vg05 | seemed like it was happier | 19:38 |
| NNoeoNN | vg05, x300 is a pain in the a** to install with linux | 19:38 |
| vg05 | NNoeoNN: not as bad as the fx5200 | 19:39 |

I know the site is not blacklisting my IP or host, since other systems on the same network can connect perfectly.... can someone please offer some assistance | 19:39 |
| NNoeoNN | vg05, haven't tried that one, but my x300 card doesn't work 100% | 19:39 |

| peepsalot | so I had this idea while reinstalling Ubuntu the other day. For machines that have enough RAM, seems like it would be more efficient to read the whole CD to ram disk one time in the beginning. then you save all the seek times during install. | 20:15 |
| Scunizi | MrG, if it works in aMsn then the other program(s) you're trying to use it in aren't setup correctly.. You might need to go to the progs. preferances section and see if there is an auto discover. | 20:15 |

| zkjellberg | Keule|on, I'd recommend searching for a gnome-based dock. Using a KDE application on GNOME can have conflicts at times. (If the application starts with a K, its generally KDE.) | 20:16 |
| bruenig | peepsalot, you mean people with 4 gigs or higher? | 20:16 |
| midgetnat | hello guys :) I need to check some of the sectors of my harddrive because it is starting to fail. I know its not a good idea to run e2fsck -c on a mounted filesystem... so i have a Damn Small Linux live cd that i can use.. | 20:16 |
| MrG | Scunizi, it wont show in prefernce meny in flash.. where u hit allow or deny... | 20:16 |
| Marfi | hey yall, im trying to convert a bunch of music to .ogg. i'm using soundconverter. It uses the gstreamer backend, and they are all mp3's and m4a's. when it does about 3 songs, it will kick back and error, saying "can't find media." i know its there, but i think it may be something with gstreamer...any ideas? | 20:16 |
| svladcjelli | peepsalot: you can do this | 20:16 |
| Zero4k | Here's an interesting question, for an interesting (possible) application of Ubuntu. My boss wants to monitor what's gobbling up all the bandwidth on the T1's.. and says he wants a bandwidth monitor to do so. There's nothing that can monitor that type of thing, is there? Not without getting an SNMP monitor for the router, that is. | 20:16 |
| midgetnat | is it safe to run e2fsck from there to repair and mark the bad sectors? | 20:16 |
| peepsalot | bruenig, seems you could do it with 2 gigs | 20:16 |
| MrG | and btw.. ahvent installed eny drivers.. cant find eny to linux | 20:16 |
| bruenig | peepsalot, pretty sure the uncompressed filesystem is greater than 2 gigs | 20:16 |

| Keule|on | zkjellberg: i know some docks - but they arent sooo good - cairo and kxdock seem to be good/better | 20:17 |
| svladcjelli | peepsalot: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/10/15/ubuntu-toram-how-to-make-ubuntu-boot-to-ram/ | 20:17 |
| midgetnat | hello? | 20:17 |
| svladcjelli | peepsalot: it is called toram | 20:17 |
| peepsalot | bruenig, i'm not necessarily saying to uncompress it. just store the whole image | 20:17 |
| Keule|on | and kxdocker is available for ubuntu... but i didnt find a working howto | 20:17 |
| zkjellberg | Keule|on, Understood. I don't have much experiance with docks, so I cain't really recommend anything for you then. Good luck with it. | 20:17 |
| svladcjelli | you store the compressed image, not nbcompressed peepsalot | 20:17 |
| SantaClaus | ho ho ho | 20:17 |
| Keule|on | :) thx zkjellberg | 20:17 |
| Scunizi | MrG, flash is always a problem in linux because the codec is propriatory. Works ok in FF or Opera but for extended features... fo get aboot it. Unless someone knows something I don't. | 20:18 |
| tyczek | lol... after reinstal with purge... I clicked for install from the site with flash animation and... "unknow plugin-application/x-shockwave-flash) | 20:18 |
| Keule|on | did someone read my questins about docks? | 20:18 |
| SantaClaus | why do people think bad about my beloved ubuntu just because it s a distribution for noobish people | 20:18 |
| boris_ | what should i buym ati HD2600 or X1950 ? | 20:18 |
| boris_ | i got AGP | 20:18 |
| midgetnat | Hello.... I need to check my hd. I have a damn small linux cd... is it safe to mount the harddrive with the live cd and try e2fsck -c /dev/hda1 from there? | 20:18 |
| kaukse | Keule|on: i'm currently using cairo-dock and it works quite good | 20:19 |
| svladcjelli | SantaClaus: cause they are stuckup? | 20:19 |
| MrG | Scarey, kk.. ye i noticed its a bit buged.. somthimes when i close FF the flash based stuff on the page i visit still apears.. and wont go away before i reboot:S | 20:19 |
| Keule|on | kaukse: i didnt find something to install | 20:19 |
| Keule|on | the website is down | 20:19 |
| Marco81 | anyone experienced problems with acer 5315? | 20:19 |
| kaukse | Keule|on: go to berlios.de, search for the cairo-dock project and you'll find some debs | 20:19 |
| peepsalot | svladcjelli, i think it should be an option directly from the CD boot menu | 20:19 |
| tyczek | i'll try to reebot | 20:19 |
| Keule|on | i'll try thx | 20:19 |
| kaukse | Keule|on: berlios.Be, my mistake | 20:20 |
| svladcjelli | peepsalot: it is | 20:20 |
| SantaClaus | jau that seems to be the reason | 20:20 |
| n00bie | not sure if i'm able to phrase this question clearly, but... is there a way to stream music from my pc to another pc on another network (through ssh)? if so, what method would you recommend? | 20:20 |
| svladcjelli | peepsalot: it has been broken i think in last release, but it is standard on livecds | 20:20 |
| peepsalot | hmm | 20:20 |
| peepsalot | it is broken for Gutsy? | 20:20 |
| Scunizi | n00bie, vlc .. it's in the repos.. search in synaptic | 20:20 |
| svladcjelli | peepsalot: i use it every day | 20:20 |
| kaukse | Keule|on: oops, it's de :) http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8724&release_id=13820 | 20:20 |
| Keule|on | thx | 20:20 |
| n00bie | Scunizi: i already have vlc installed, how can it be done? | 20:21 |
| midgetnat | can someone please answer me | 20:21 |
| Scunizi | n00bie, their main page is where you'll find extensive help on it.. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ | 20:21 |
| midgetnat | its something fast | 20:21 |
| midgetnat | just a yes/no answer | 20:21 |
| Flannel | n00bie: icecast is also another method. Some sort of internet radio stuff. | 20:21 |
| SantaClaus | if the dying lame duck gnome is away from the window what will happen to UBUNTU then¿ | 20:21 |
| svladcjelli | n00bie: http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ | 20:21 |
| n00bie | Scunizi: do i have to be on my pc then? (i would much more prefer to use moc (music on console) | 20:21 |
| Zero4k | Guess there's no way to monitor bandwidth on our T1's, without SNMP interfaces, then? No tools? | 20:21 |
| svladcjelli | n00bie: you may want to look at a web frontend like jinzora | 20:22 |
| flush | yo mayday | 20:22 |
| Keule|on | kaukse: thanx that was what im searching for! | 20:22 |
| svladcjelli | n00bie: mpd+icecast works well, but is complex to setup | 20:22 |
| flush | how can i set my uploading limit on port 80 to be 30kbps | 20:22 |
| Flannel | n00bie: mpd can stream to icecast (which provides a lot of interfaces), I believe VLC has methods too, but | 20:22 |
| kaukse | Keule|on: don't forget to download the plug-ins packages as well : | 20:23 |
| n00bie | svladcjelli: Flannel : ok, i think i've read somewhere that icecast and shoutcast works with MOC too... | 20:23 |
| Keule|on | sure | 20:23 |
| Keule|on | thx | 20:23 |
| svladcjelli | n00bie: there are tons of console clients for mpd | 20:23 |
| Flannel | n00bie: Whatever MOC is, sure. If it can act as a source client for icecast/shoutcast. | 20:23 |
| n00bie | svladcjelli: ah, ok... i haven't read anything about mpd... thought maybe it was a client as well, but i guess it's a server? | 20:24 |
| svladcjelli | !info mpd | 20:24 |
| ubotu | mpd: Music Player Daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13.0-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 137 kB, installed size 416 kB | 20:24 |
| svladcjelli | hmm | 20:24 |
| lonejack | Hi all, has somebody tryed to install wacom Tablet? Does somebody know where to find the driver(Kubuntu 7.10). Thank you. | 20:25 |
| visual | Hello I have a question | 20:25 |
| Flannel | n00bie: mpd is a server, music player daemon, you connect to it via a variety of frontends (web, ncurses, GUI, etc, etc), it, it can stream music to an icecast/shoutcast server, which you then tune in to. | 20:25 |
| visual | I have some photo on a image on a disc and they are lock | 20:25 |
| kaukse | lonejack: I think it's natively supported by x.org, look in your xorg.conf | 20:25 |

| robdig | Hyuukai: in the terminal, or if you like graphical system->administration->synaptic package manager | 20:41 |
| SonicChao | Hyuukai, I don't know what you want to do, so replace '[program]' with whatever program it is. e.g. firefox | 20:41 |
| Sammy_ | is there an equivalent itunes program for ubuntu with video support also | 20:41 |
| adelie | theRealballchalk: It is much better than wineing the windows one | 20:41 |

| Hyuukai | ummm i thought apt was automatically installed with ubuntu? | 20:42 |
| fabioowen | ciao c'è qualche italiano? | 20:42 |
| magnetron | fabioowen: /join #ubuntu-it | 20:42 |
| Hyuukai | im wanting to use awn menu bar thingie | 20:42 |
| Hyuukai | but i need to edit my apt source yet i dont have apt or cannot findit | 20:42 |
| kayce | i need a bit of help, i'm trying to find out how i can use my 2 250gb hdd's for a single instance of Linux (not trying to dual boot), if its posible? | 20:42 |
| Johnny_5 | i use enlightenment....for some reason some of my menus (gtk, games) seem to be too large and for some reason its a pain in the butt to try to select something from either menu. | 20:42 |
| theship_sinking | Hyuukai, you'll have to add a 3rd party repos for that | 20:42 |
| Sonic^ | just use apt-get command in terminal, or the "add/remove software" application in menu .3 | 20:42 |
| theRealballchalk | hmm i'm waiting to see if anyone will compile Second LIfe for solaris | 20:42 |
| theship_sinking | Hyuukai, or you can get it from getdeb | 20:42 |
| adelie | theRealballchalk: yup. I had thought it was on the second life web site, but maybe it is hosted elsewhere. The second life people (devs) made the client open source. It didn't take long | 20:43 |
| Hyuukai | the only thing im used to using is synaptic package manager | 20:43 |
| Sonic^ | Second Life runs fine also in PC BSD | 20:43 |
| Hyuukai | I really dont know much about ubuntu as im pretty new | 20:43 |
| theRealballchalk | but if solaris can run linux bins, then i'm not sure what that means for running Second LIfe whether it's simple or not | 20:43 |
| theRealballchalk | :| | 20:43 |
| Sammy_ | Hyuukai do u want the resp... list for avn | 20:43 |
| SonicChao | MasterShrek, it started complaining at me when I ./install.sh'd. Can you help? | 20:43 |
| SonicChao | root@sonicchao-laptop:/home/sonicchao/Desktop/qflash-0.1-bin# ./install-sh | 20:43 |
| SonicChao | mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/share/libming/fonts': No such file or directory | 20:43 |
| SonicChao | cp: target `/usr/share/libming/fonts/' is not a directory: No such file or directory | 20:43 |
| Johnny_5 | any suggestions? | 20:43 |
| Hyuukai | Sure but i dont know wht i would do with it lol like i said im really new | 20:43 |
| adelie | Hyuukai apt is in by default. Synaptic is an apt front-end | 20:43 |
| Sonic^ | I believe there would be way getting linux version of SecondLife to run on Solaris | 20:43 |
| theship_sinking | Hyuukai, just to warn you, awn is still pretty buggy and unstable | 20:43 |
| theship_sinking | Hyuukai, you probably don't want to use it for everyday use... | 20:43 |
| Hyuukai | Ok well is there a menu system like the osx on that works well? | 20:44 |
| Sonic^ | same way like running it on freebsd | 20:44 |
| MasterShrek | SonicChao: you need libming it looks like, whatever that is | 20:44 |
| theRealballchalk | adelie: yea i read the head guy was Opensource friendly | 20:44 |
| SonicChao | !info libming | 20:44 |
| ubotu | Package libming does not exist in gutsy | 20:44 |
| SonicChao | !info minb | 20:44 |
| ubotu | Package minb does not exist in gutsy | 20:44 |
| Hyuukai | like a menu at the bottom of the screen in the middle with cool icons | 20:44 |
| SonicChao | !info ming | 20:44 |
| ubotu | Package ming does not exist in gutsy | 20:44 |
| Sammy_ | deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ gutsy avant-window-navigator | 20:44 |
| Sammy_ | deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ gutsy avant-window-navigator | 20:44 |
| SonicChao | MasterShrek, all I know is | 20:44 |
| SonicChao | Ming has something to do with Flash :| | 20:44 |
| jlowell | can anyone tell me if ubuntu studio has a live cd image? cant seem to find one | 20:44 |
| adelie | is there a way to "check" the major and minor numbers of a block file? | 20:44 |
| SpookyET | Are there any v0.3.0 beagle debs for gutsy, official or not | 20:45 |
| Hyuukai | Sammy do you use awn? | 20:45 |
| Cpudan80 | Anyone know of a good text editor (with syntax highlighting) that is not Gedit or Kate? | 20:45 |
| Cpudan80 | or vim | 20:45 |
| theRealballchalk | sonic^ yea but the problem is if there needs to be optimization who's gonna do it? the solaris and opensolaris guys are all admins lol | 20:45 |
| Sammy_ | yep | 20:45 |
| Hyuukai | DO you have any problms with it? | 20:45 |
| theship_sinking | are there any good imaging apps for linux? | 20:45 |
| SonicChao | Cpudan80, no, you just named all the good ones. :| | 20:45 |
| adelie | or are they only in the kernel source? | 20:45 |
| theRealballchalk | i'd think the linux ppl will do second life for solaris most likely | 20:45 |
| SonicChao | Especially VIM | 20:45 |
| Sammy_ | none - and my machine is old enough | 20:45 |
| SonicChao | !gimp | theship_sinking | 20:45 |
| ubotu | theship_sinking: gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. | 20:45 |
| goodman | how i con boot liunx in pc mac | 20:45 |
| theship_sinking | err sorry, i meant imaging, as in drive imaging | 20:45 |
| Cpudan80 | SonicChao: but vim is command line though | 20:45 |
| Sammy_ | its really useful | 20:46 |
| Cpudan80 | SonicChao: Is there a way to add php highlighting to gedit? | 20:46 |
| Hyuukai | Ok sammy could you help me since i have no idea about ubuntu stuff still learning through trial and error what do i do with that link you just sent me? | 20:46 |
| SonicChao | Cpudan80, do you want me to teach you? You only need THREE commands tops | 20:46 |
| SonicChao | And they are one letter. | 20:46 |
| Sammy_ | right | 20:46 |
| Sammy_ | one sec | 20:46 |
| Hyuukai | Ok :) | 20:46 |
| Hyuukai | Im trying to customise ubuntu you see and so far all iave done is edited a really bad emerald skin | 20:46 |
| SonicChao | Hyuukai, what are you trying to do, exactly? :3 | 20:47 |
| Sammy_ | gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:47 |
| adelie | theRealballchalk: I would have to disagree. OpenSource is frequently, IMHO, ported by the people that want to use them, and then shared. Sometimes (even often) picked up by the oritional developer if it is a big project like that. I doubt the second life people would port it themselves. They didn't do the linux one, they just released the windows source code | 20:47 |
| Hyuukai | Make ubuntu look more like i want it to? or you wanna kno ho i want it to look? | 20:47 |
| robdig | Cpudan80: gvim is "graphical" version of vim...you can use the mouse as well as keyboard commands... | 20:47 |
| cheiron_ | Does Anyone here know how to get my LG 19" widescreen to work? | 20:47 |
| SonicChao | Hyuukai, how do you want it to look? | 20:47 |
| Sammy_ | add this to the end and save | 20:47 |
| Sammy_ | deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ gutsy avant-window-navigator | 20:47 |
| Sammy_ | deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ gutsy avant-window-navigator | 20:47 |
| SonicChao | I can't read your mind, sorry :| | 20:47 |
| bruenig | robdig, sort of | 20:48 |
| adelie | How can you find out what the major and minor numbers are for a block file? | 20:48 |
| SpookyET | epiphany with webkit is fast as hell, but not ready for prime time it's very buggy | 20:48 |
| bruenig | robdig, you can't use the mouse anymore in gvim that you can in vim, gvim is just a stand alone vim that exists outside of a terminal really, not significantly different | 20:48 |
| Cpudan80 | robdig: Yeah I know about that one | 20:48 |
| EtteSB | is bash.bashrc the same as .bashrc ? | 20:48 |
| bruenig | than* | 20:48 |
| Sammy_ | Hyuukai - you do all that | 20:48 |
| Envy` | Im trying to install Ubuntu, CD won't boot hangs on loading kernal. I've had ubuntu previously on this system from this CD but it was the sole OS, now Im trying to duel boot XP. Any ideas? Ty. (Iam booting from CD in bios) | 20:48 |
| theship_sinking | so anyone know if there are any good utils / apps i can use for drive imaging? | 20:49 |
| kaminix | I have a problem with a broken file systems. Interestingly, it was broken when I checked it for errors with fsck. The file system is ext3 500GB and seems to have a broken superblock. I did find two of the superblock backups to be OK, but it still says "fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on mybook". Any ideas why? I did run badblocks on it too, twice, and it turned out 100% OK. | 20:49 |
| cafuego | adelie: `ls -l' shows them. | 20:49 |
| Pc_Dark | How do I make ubuntu auto-update (i.e. not ask me to update things) | 20:49 |
| adelie | cafuego: Really? hmm.. I feel silly | 20:49 |
| Hyuukai | just copy and paste that into the terminal? | 20:49 |
| Pc_Dark | I just want it to update everything automatically. | 20:49 |
| EtteSB | pc_dark: sudo apt-get update | 20:49 |
| theRealballchalk | adelie: yea i know, but im saying the number of ppl using the solaris os for second life is what i'm not sure about since they're mostly network admins. | 20:49 |
| Sammy_ | gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:49 |
| cafuego | adelie: brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 2007-11-03 23:47 /dev/sda <-- major 8, minor 0. | 20:49 |
| Hyuukai | wait sammy | 20:49 |
| Sammy_ | paste that to terminal 1st | 20:49 |
| bruenig | Pc_Dark, that's a poor idea, but if you want to, you need to edit cron to run something like apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade -y | 20:50 |
| b1n0ry | i need a little help installing ubuntu on my laptop | 20:50 |
| adelie | cafuego: Nice! Thanks | 20:50 |
| Sammy_ | it will open the source lists | 20:50 |
| Pc_Dark | Why is it a poor idea, bruenig ? | 20:50 |
| cafuego | Pc_Dark: You shouldn't let it do that, badness will happen. However, cron-apt is helpful. | 20:50 |
| zkjellberg | Question: I am planning on purchasing this tv tuner. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116015 How would I find out if it is supported in Linux? Also, how are remotes treated in linux? | 20:50 |
| bruenig | Pc_Dark, well apt-get doesn't have a log, so if something screws up, you don't know what, whereas if you approve the updates, you will at least know the offending application | 20:51 |
| cafuego | Pc_Dark: If an update script fails without notice, you may be left with an unusable machine | 20:51 |
| EtteSB | !alias > etteSB | 20:51 |
| Hyuukai | gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list THEN deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ gutsy avant-window-navigator | 20:51 |
| Hyuukai | I DO THAT IN TERMINAL? | 20:51 |
| Hyuukai | oops caps | 20:51 |
| Pc_Dark | cafuego, snapshots are good for that. | 20:51 |
| vg05 | this is nuts | 20:51 |
| Sammy_ | then add the follow 2 lines to the list at the end and save it | 20:51 |

| SmileyChris | just wondering: are packages only updated for a version of ubuntu if there are security fixes? (specifically, bzr 1 just came out, will the repositories be updated?) | 20:51 |
| vg05 | why is configuring dual monitors with ati so difficult ? | 20:51 |
| Sammy_ | deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ gutsy avant-window-navigator | 20:51 |
| robdig | bruenig: gvim has button bar...accessed via mouse...other than that, agreed, not much difference | 20:52 |
| cafuego | Pc_Dark: And more work than simply running the last step by hand <heh> oh well. | 20:52 |
| cafuego | vg05: "ati" | 20:52 |
| b1n0ry | i downloaded and burned the live/install cd, but i need to install without the interface or something... it's taking waaay too long. from the time i click the "install" icon (running from the cd-rom), it takes about 20-30 minutes to come up with question 1 (of 7). | 20:52 |

| Sammy_ | sorry | 20:52 |
| cafuego | !paste > Sammy_ | 20:52 |
| Hyuukai | oh add the deb-rc line into the sources list? | 20:52 |
| b1n0ry | after waiting about 25 minutes to get to question 2... i decided there has to be a faster way | 20:52 |
| kromagnon | does anyone know of any XDMCP clients for macosx? | 20:52 |
| Sammy_ | ya both of them | 20:52 |
| cafuego | b1n0ry: The 'alternate' cd has a text-only install. | 20:52 |
| Sammy_ | at the very end and save it | 20:53 |
| b1n0ry | alright, will i still be able to install the x environment with gnome? | 20:53 |
| cafuego | b1n0ry: Yup :-) | 20:53 |
| profanephobia | vg05, because they make crappy drivers | 20:53 |
| b1n0ry | i think that if i wasn't running off a cd, it would be much faster | 20:53 |
| b1n0ry | cafuego: thanks much | 20:53 |
| Hyuukai | it couldnt find the sources list :S isnt apt bundled with ubuntu? | 20:53 |
| b1n0ry | i'll give that one a shot | 20:53 |
| cafuego | b1n0ry: By default, it installs the exact same thing as the livecd. | 20:53 |
| cafuego | it's just less pretty | 20:53 |
| EtteSB | is bash.bashrc the same as .bashrc ? | 20:53 |
| ompaul | kromagnon, try starting a terminal and doing this in it: X :1 -query OtherMachineIP-or-DNS.name | 20:53 |
| b1n0ry | is the live cd this slow for everyone? | 20:53 |
| DShepherd | anyone here use checkgmail? | 20:54 |
| vg05 | i mean, is trying to setup one screen for a 24" and the other for a 19" so difficult ?!? | 20:54 |

| Pc_Dark | johnny_walker, it might be easier to set up VMs with sharing ? | 20:55 |
| Sammy_ | gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list in the terminal opens the source list you add the lines to | 20:55 |
| MasterShrek | b1n0ry: the livecds are slow, it will be much faster after you install | 20:55 |
| johnny_walker | pc_dark: i'm kinda new to ubuntu so xplaination will help......... | 20:55 |
| adelie | cafuego: A friend killed his raid recently, and wanting to play around with it. I dumped it to another device, but could I do a dd -if <raid> -of <file> and then open it with gparted or mount it as a block device? | 20:55 |
| b1n0ry | MasterShrek: thanks, i'll give it a shot. i don't have anything worth keeping at this point | 20:55 |
| adelie | cafuego: for other types of scans / repairs | 20:55 |
| Pc_Dark | johnny_walker, to run either Ubuntu or Windows in a virtual Machine (i.e. side-by-side) | 20:56 |
| Hyuukai | Sammy: Ok ive done that now? | 20:56 |
| kromagnon | ompaul: thanks i'll try that. is that command native to mac os terminal commands? | 20:56 |
| redarrow | magnetron: I think I need to make a link from my /dev/dvd to the cdrom-drive, how can I do this? | 20:56 |

| EtteSB | iim trying to make an alias so the if i type it auto does sudo apt-get update. but im wonder if bash.bashrc is the right file to put it in? | 20:56 |
| frojnd | Sammy_, what's the name of the package? | 20:57 |
| boris_ | !windows | 20:57 |
| ubotu | For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents | 20:57 |
| svladcjelli | kayce: if you want both disks to be 'joined' you need to use raid | 20:57 |
| MasterShrek | kayce: lvm or, just mount the other partition in your system | 20:57 |
| Sammy_ | go to synaptic | 20:57 |
| MasterShrek | isnt lvm making the os think its one disk? | 20:57 |
| Sammy_ | but hit relod first | 20:57 |
| Zxcs | is there anyone that can help me use wine? Ive installed it but I want to copy a game folder over from my windows comp first then run it using wine | 20:57 |
| cafuego | kayce: With raid or without? | 20:57 |
| kromagnon | ompaul: ok cool. | 20:57 |
| silent_ | MasterShrek: LVM can do a few different things | 20:57 |
| johnny_walker | pc_dark; why there's no way to share those NTFS folders so I can see them in my media player? | 20:57 |
| boris_ | nearest mental health institute | 20:57 |
| kromagnon | ompaul: thanks | 20:57 |
| kayce | tried a raid | 20:57 |
| Sammy_ | then search avant ad it should be there | 20:57 |
| MasterShrek | silent_: is that one of them? | 20:57 |
| ompaul | boris_, your point? | 20:58 |
| silent_ | MasterShrek: clarify, I just opened this tab | 20:58 |
| kayce | linux still recognises them as single hdd's | 20:58 |

| cafuego | kayce: Yes, that is a *GOOD* thing. | 20:58 |
| MasterShrek | silent_: i just thought with lvm you could make 2 partitions look like one big one, but i dont know if thats true or not | 20:58 |
| Pc_Dark | johnny_walker, there is. you need to install a driver to view NTFS partitions | 20:58 |
| johnny_walker | lemme ask you, if I change the partition from NTFS to Linux format, if I want to switch back to windows will partition magic be able to make those Partition back to NTFS without losing the Data on it? | 20:58 |
| boris_ | ompaul: it's funny | 20:58 |
| silent_ | MasterShrek: that is true | 20:58 |
| MasterShrek | cool | 20:58 |
| johnny_walker | Pc_dark: where can i get that driver? | 20:58 |
| frojnd | Sammy_, I get the same error as Hyuukai and When I do sudo apt-get update, I also can't find avant* package.. | 20:58 |
| cafuego | kayce: You'll want to use the raid drivers in Linux, which are properly software based. | 20:58 |
| silent_ | MasterShrek: You can also set up software raid | 20:59 |
| Pc_Dark | johnny_walker, I don't know and I don't know if it's legal or not. | 20:59 |
| erisco | how can you log out of gnome using the terminal? | 20:59 |
| cafuego | kayce: On-mobo sw raid is generally a bad thing and should be avoided if at all possible. | 20:59 |
| MasterShrek | johnny_walker: you can get the driver by typing: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g int a terminal | 20:59 |
| frojnd | Sammy_, still there? | 20:59 |
| kayce | ok | 20:59 |
| MasterShrek | ah cool silent_, always something i wanted to start learning how to do | 20:59 |
| Sammy_ | did you add the lines to the source list as i explained | 20:59 |
| Hyuukai | Yes | 20:59 |
| cafuego | kayce: You will need the `alternate' install CD though, the livecd doesn't support raid or lvm, afaik. | 20:59 |
| frojnd | Sammy_, yes, I can paste it to you.. | 20:59 |
| frojnd | Sammy_, we need key | 20:59 |
| kayce | i unraided already | 20:59 |
| kayce | oh, how do i get it | 20:59 |
| Sammy_ | paste it in a private chat | 21:00 |

| ompaul | Pc_Dark, and by saying that you cause FUD, well done, it is free software, and has existed for years and MS have not sued the project, reasonable to believe that such a company would have by now given how much they hate FLOSS if they had half a chance | 21:00 |
| MasterShrek | !alternate | kayce | 21:00 |
| ubotu | kayce: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal | 21:00 |

| martijn81 | i have installed mdadm for my raid disks, but not kubuntu does not start proper anymore. I see no kwin/kicker and a popup in the left corner with "Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation." What can i do? | 21:00 |
| Sammy_ | what version of ubuntu u use | 21:01 |
| Hyuukai | 7.10 | 21:01 |
| b1n0ry | !minimal | 21:01 |
| ubotu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 21:01 |

| Hyuukai | Sammy check your list? maybe its not the same? | 21:01 |
| erisco | how can you log out of gnome using the terminal? | 21:01 |
| Pc_Dark | ompaul, if they sued the project they wouldn't get anything because the project has no money. | 21:01 |

| johnny_walker | pc_dark: OK, I installed it, what should I do next? | 21:02 |

| MasterShrek | oh yea Cr3ature thats right lol, regular ntfs wont write to them though, but just change instances of ntfs-3g in your moutn commands (including /etc/fstab) to ntfs | 21:02 |

| cafuego | kayce: if you want the drives to be a single 500GB disk, use LVM and not raid0. if you want to use mirroring for data security (so you have a redundant 250GB array), use raid1. | 21:03 |

| BernardB | md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | 21:04 |
| BernardB | The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 21:04 |
| erisco | or how can you just restart gnome for that matter? | 21:04 |
| BernardB | What's that? | 21:04 |
| cafuego | kayce: In the partitoning step, you should choose manual partitioning and set up both entire disks with a single "Volume for LVM" or "Volume for RAID" partition. After that, you create the actual OS partitions on the LVM or Raid. | 21:04 |
| frojnd | erisco, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 21:04 |
| erisco | frojnd, thanks | 21:04 |

| SonicChao | I need help installing Enlightenment. I easily installed the package "Enlightenment", but when I tried to install the reccommended packages (as I want to use the full desktop with all the features, such as eterm) it gave me this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48268/ | 21:05 |
| svladcjelli | Cr3ature: but ntfs-3g is probably safer if you plan to write to that disk | 21:05 |
| BitBastar | hello, the installer is freezing and the hdd/CD is going nuts! Anyone know what's going on? | 21:05 |
| Cr3ature | it still says fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy | 21:05 |
| Cr3ature | FUSE mount point creation failed | 21:05 |
| Cr3ature | and i have checkdiscked the NTFS | 21:06 |
| svladcjelli | Cr3ature: perhaps it is already mounted? | 21:06 |
| Cr3ature | it works on windows | 21:06 |
| MrDaytonaMan | Can someone help me with audacity? | 21:06 |

| MrDaytonaMan | I'm trying to pipe my audio through audacity and mixxx at the same time | 21:07 |

| SaintRock | Hi guys.. Got a bit of a problem. Got to do a setup with 2 network cards that have 4 ports each. Its Sun hardware, but its recognizable in Ubuntu. Whenever I do changes in /etc/network/interfaces, and reboot, everything gets messed up. | 21:07 |
| MrDaytonaMan | So I can record off of mixx | 21:07 |
| SaintRock | This is the card : 03:00.1 Ethernet controller: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Happy Meal 10/100 Ethernet [hme] (rev 01) | 21:07 |
| MasterShrek | Cr3ature: none of the partitions that you are trying to mount? | 21:07 |
| frojnd | Sammy_, maybe u wanna paste it to ubuntu.paste-bin.nl or pastebin.ca or smth | 21:07 |
| Sammy_ | can you recieve file here | 21:07 |
| Cr3ature | no | 21:08 |
| MasterShrek | does it mount with ntfs? | 21:08 |
| MasterShrek | not ntfs-3g, but ntfs | 21:08 |
| SaintRock | Im not gonna try to copy paste the ifconfig, since its gonna flood the screen, but Im getting a lot of interfaces getting "renamed" eth8_rena Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:BA:05:89:D5 | 21:08 |
| Cr3ature | no they both say same error | 21:08 |
| Sammy_ | whats ur email | 21:08 |
| cafuego | SaintRock: Does it reorder the devices at each boot? | 21:08 |
| Cr3ature | fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy | 21:08 |

| cafuego | maximus: Possibly, but again, kde4 isn't in stable Ubuntu as yet. | 21:13 |
| Sammy_ | then tell me what drive is in use | 21:13 |
| kkathman | maximus, any reason why you dont just go to fusion, seeing that beryl is a pretty much dead product? | 21:13 |
| frojnd | Sammy_, It's easier to follow if you 'r talking to someone of u refer a nickname, most of 99% have coloured lines if in line is their nick... easier to follow conversation | 21:13 |

| svladcjelli | mount -o loop adelie | 21:17 |
| mindy | How can I install the rt2x00 drivers for my rt2500 rather than the rt2500 drivers already included in my Gutsy kernel? I see the source via apt-get, but this would require a custom kernel. Any way I can avoid rolling my own for support? | 21:17 |
| Marfi | mage__, its easy to install though. download the package from the flash people, then run the script. did it this afternoon. ;) | 21:17 |
| kkathman | maximus there are a number of good wiki's around - google has several under compiz fusion ubuntu | 21:17 |
| logankoester | MasterShrek: something to ask in #compiz then? | 21:17 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: thanks | 21:18 |
| maximus | ok so how do i get KDE | 21:18 |
| MasterShrek | logankoester: i would think so | 21:18 |
| kkathman | I would discourage compiz with KDE however | 21:18 |
| cafuego | mindy: You only need to build the custom drivers, not the whole kernel. | 21:18 |
| maximus | i want kde 4 mind you | 21:18 |
| maximus | i know | 21:18 |
| maximus | i want both thpoough | 21:18 |
| maximus | compiz for fun | 21:18 |
| cafuego | mindy: You cna install and use `module-assistant' for that. | 21:18 |
| maximus | and kde4 to try | 21:18 |
| BitBastar | ubuntu installer is *freezing* on step1. And the CD is still spining. Any Thoughts? | 21:18 |
| Midgetnator | Hello guys.... is it ok if I start the computer with puppy linux live cd and try e2fsck -c /dev/hda1 because i have my ubuntu there on the hd and i believe there are some bad blocks... will it mark the bad blocks to stop them from being used and wont damage my files? | 21:18 |
| cafuego | maximus: #ubuntu+1 for you then. | 21:18 |
| mindy | cafuego: when I run make from the rt2x00 directory in /usr/src/modules I get errors... | 21:18 |
| kkathman | hussam :) | 21:18 |
| cafuego | mindy: Did you install the required kernel-headers package? | 21:19 |
| maximus | what does that mean cafuego? | 21:19 |
| hussam | kkathman : yes do u know me ? | 21:19 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: What type do I specify if it was the entire device and not a partition? RAW? | 21:19 |
| cafuego | maximus: Channel #ubuntu+1 rather then #ubuntu, where you are now. | 21:19 |
| maximus | hardy heron | 21:19 |
| maximus | yea | 21:19 |
| maximus | i have gutsy | 21:19 |
| mindy | cafuego: linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic | 21:19 |
| kkathman | hmm perhaps another hussam then - I knew someone by that name some time back - sorry | 21:19 |
| maximus | is it because what im asking for is non gutsy help? | 21:19 |
| akrus | again =_= | 21:19 |
| cafuego | maximus: if you need kDE4, I suggest you go Hardy | 21:19 |
| cafuego | Coz Gutsy doesn't include it, and won't ever. | 21:20 |
| Midgetnator | ??????? | 21:20 |
| maximus | cafuego: thank you :) | 21:20 |
| hussam | kkathman : never mind | 21:20 |
| akrus | which tool is used to change GTK2 style? | 21:20 |
| Marfi | whenever i try to convert music with SoundConverter, i get this error after about 3 songs. "could not open resource for writing" its a gstreamer error...any ideas? | 21:20 |
| mindy | cafuego: uname -r : 2.6.22-14-generic | 21:20 |
| Marfi | does anyone have a clue? | 21:20 |
| kkathman | maximus, unless you are very experienced and can feedback bugs to the process, I'd advise against KDE4 | 21:20 |
| cafuego | mindy: Hmmm ok. | 21:20 |
| hussam | so please could any one help me configering my visual effects? | 21:20 |
| Midgetnator | Hello guys.... is it ok if I start the computer with puppy linux live cd and try e2fsck -c /dev/hda1 because i have my ubuntu there on the hd and i believe there are some bad blocks... will it mark the bad blocks to stop them from being used and wont damage my files? | 21:20 |
| cafuego | mindy: Can you pastebin the error? | 21:20 |
| svladcjelli | adelie: mount -o loop filewithdata /mnt should do it | 21:20 |
| maximus | ok fine | 21:21 |
| silent_ | hussam: it's not difficult, click some buttons | 21:21 |
| BitBastar | ubuntu installer is *freezing* on step1. And the CD is still spining. Any Thoughts? | 21:21 |
| maximus | but someone tell me how to install compiz-fusion using synaptic | 21:21 |
| mindy | cafuego: the first is #error Wireless radio support not enabled in kernel! | 21:21 |
| maximus | i want the most stable version | 21:21 |
| cafuego | maximus: it's already installed. | 21:21 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" | 21:21 |
| mindy | cafuego: I'll pastebin the rest. one sec... | 21:21 |
| Midgetnator | Hello guys.... is it ok if I start the computer with puppy linux live cd and try e2fsck -c /dev/hda1 because i have my ubuntu there on the hd and i believe there are some bad blocks... will it mark the bad blocks to stop them from being used and wont damage my files? | 21:21 |
| cafuego | maximus: System > Preferences > Appearance > Effects | 21:21 |
| svladcjelli | adelie: yes, sorry, put the type of fs it is | 21:21 |
| kkathman | maximus, please check Google and type in "compiz fusion ubuntu" you'll see the process | 21:21 |
| hussam | silent_: I think it is difficult for me I've tried many times before | 21:21 |
| kkathman | maximus, there is much more than just synaptic in this case | 21:22 |
| atlef | is it possible to create a bootable cd-rom of win xp from folders and add bootfiles to the cd image? | 21:22 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: :) what do I specify for the FS type if I dumped the device rather than the partition? | 21:22 |
| svladcjelli | Midgetnator: it is not necessarily a safe procedure if that is what you are asking | 21:22 |
| cafuego | kkathman: Not at all. It's preinstalled, just enable it :-P | 21:22 |
| degrasso | I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT GUTSY GIBBON ROCKS! | 21:22 |
| maximus | i think i have beryl | 21:22 |
| mindy | cafuego: http://pastebin.org/11613 | 21:22 |
| maximus | i dont think i have compiz-fusion | 21:22 |
| kkathman | cafuego, well he has beryl installed now tho | 21:22 |
| Midgetnator | svladcjelli: so what can i do in order to mark the bad sectors of my harddrive? | 21:22 |
| cafuego | maximus: Only thing you want to do is add `compizconfig-settings-manager' via synaptic or aptitude, for advanced settings. | 21:23 |
| hussam | hello Visual Effects how to configure it ? | 21:23 |
| cafuego | kkathman: Yes, he needs to unbreak the system. | 21:23 |
| svladcjelli | adelie: you got me :) I dump the partition... | 21:23 |
| adelie | Midgetnat: fsck has an option to do it automatically | 21:23 |
| cafuego | hussam: compizconfig-settings-manager | 21:23 |
| Midgetnator | can u please tell me adelie? | 21:23 |
| xTheGoat121x | Does OOo use its own GTK settings file? | 21:23 |
| kkathman | cafuego, hmm I would advise removing the old stuff first but if you can advise otherwise, so be it :) | 21:23 |
| hussam | cafuego: where to find it ? | 21:23 |
| kayce | when installing from a non-live cd, does it just install or is there something else i have to do? sorry for noob question if it is, im still rather new to linux | 21:23 |
| cafuego | hussam: System > Preferences > Appearance > Effects | 21:23 |
| cafuego | hussam: The config package is in Synaptic. | 21:24 |
| hussam | cafuego: ok then | 21:24 |
| adelie | Midgetnat: man fsck should specify | 21:24 |
| magnetron | kayce: it just installs | 21:24 |
| Midgetnator | yeah tried it | 21:24 |
| svladcjelli | Midgetnator: this is usually not necessary | 21:24 |
| kayce | thank you | 21:24 |
| hendrixski | I have a newbie coding question in AJAX: when I call xhr.open('POST', myCode.php, true); xhr.send(); from pressing a button shouldn't that then run the PHP page the same way that a button inside a <form action="myCode.php"> right? | 21:24 |
| Midgetnator | and the only option seems to be fsck -c | 21:24 |
| maximus | thanks guys | 21:24 |
| maximus | very help ful | 21:24 |
| cafuego | hendrixski: Wrong channel. | 21:24 |
| maximus | and cute too | 21:24 |
| hendrixski | cafuego, I've tried a few other ones, figured I'd try my chances here :-p | 21:25 |
| Midgetnator | svladjelli: yeah the thing is that my hard drive started to make up some noises and sometimes its getting stucked so thats why i need to mark the bad sectors so they wont be in use anymore | 21:25 |
| cafuego | hendrixski: See the topic? | 21:25 |
| * hendrixski sighs | 21:25 | |
| Jowi | kayce, the "install cd" (doesn't matter if it is the live cd, alternative of minimal one) installs the OS. You will be asked questions along the way of partitioning and networking options etc. what is the problem exactly? | 21:25 |
| svladcjelli | Midgetnator: http://linux.die.net/man/8/e2fsck | 21:25 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: I have a "test" later. friend killed his raid accidently and lost the partition map. I figured simple enough to dd it (for safety sake, and try to rebuild it manually... but I don't know how to mount the file or necessarly open the file with cfparted / gparted (whatever). any thoughts? | 21:25 |
| hussam | cafuego: it is installed what should i do | 21:25 |
| hussam | ? | 21:25 |
| white_eagle | does anyone know an IM MSN client which will show the song I'm playing using Amarok or other players. cause pidgin doesn't have that | 21:26 |
| kayce | i was just wondering, its going to be a while before i can today | 21:26 |
| cafuego | mindy: Hmmm... does the rt2x00 README mention any odd options needed for wifi? I'd have thought it would be fine with the normal ones. | 21:26 |
| white_eagle | !pidgin | 21:26 |
| kayce | another question thow | 21:26 |
| ubotu | pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It is available in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but not previous versions. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0 | 21:26 |

| ubotu | white_eagle: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 21:26 |
| kayce | can i run x32 linux on an x64 computer? i know you can do it with windows | 21:26 |
| svladcjelli | adelie: what raid was it | 21:26 |
| white_eagle | ok | 21:26 |
| cafuego | kayce: yes. | 21:26 |
| kayce | ok, thank you very much | 21:27 |
| adelie | Midgetnat: ooh. Marking out bad sectors won't save a smoking / grinding drive, because bad sectors isn't the problem, more likely a failing head. BACKUP!!! (if necessary) and replace the drive ASAP | 21:27 |
| Jowi | kayce, all the images will install but while the live-cd has a graphical installer the alternative cd is text based. the server image is text-based + options specifically for servers + different kernel. | 21:27 |
| white_eagle | does anyone know an IM MSN client which will show the song I'm playing using Amarok or other players. cause pidgin doesn't have that | 21:27 |

| Zxcs | guys how do I copy files from my windows network to ubuntu? | 21:28 |

| cafuego | hussam: What video card do you have? | 21:29 |
| Jowi | NemesisD, (if you want to do it from the command line) look in /etc/rc2.d and /etc/init.d/rdS.d/ | 21:29 |
| erUSUL | !samba | Zxcs | 21:29 |

| white_eagle | svladcjelli: I don't see that plugin | 21:29 |
| adelie | svladcjelli: I got linux to recognize the raid, (windows just ate dirt as soon as it tried to start) but the partition map was empty. The mistake he made was plugging a very different drive into the raid controller instead of the jbob, and it tried to stripe the drive | 21:29 |
| magnetron | !install > kayce | 21:29 |
| white_eagle | svladcjelli: am I missing something? | 21:29 |

| adelie | wraund: However, in my opinion, I would recommend you "hint" to your dad to check that it has an nvidia graphic card. longest and best support for linux out there, but if it isn't for games, I have had no problem with the intel graphics cards either | 21:54 |

| Thymecop | ISLE OF MAN - June 1, 2006 - At a press conference today, Canonical CEO and Free Software spokesnigger Mark Shuttleworth announced the immediate availability of version 6.06 of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. The latest version, known by its code name, "The Diaper Drake," includes special features designed to make Linux easier and more comfortable for niggers the world over. | 23:06 |
| Thymecop | "Niggers have always had trouble understanding new technology," Shuttleworth began. "Computers are no exception. Some people have said this is because niggers are dumb, but I believe the real problem is that technology has traditionally been designed for white people. Ubuntu changes all that. It was developed from the ground up with niggers in mind. It will usher in a whole new era of Afro-ergonomic computing." | 23:06 |

| Thymecop | Shuttleworth presented an overview of some of the features users could expect in the latest version of Ubuntu, including an Ebonics-to-English converter, African "tribal beats" sound and desktop theme, and a collection of rap music and gay pornography, "which of course will be encoded using patent and royalty-free formats," Shuttleworth added, smiling. He proceeded to elaborate, but OpenOffice.org Impress crashed at that point | 23:09 |
| adelie | anyone here ever setup ftpfuse? | 23:09 |
| Thymecop | But this release isn't just about new features," Shuttleworth said, making a quick segue to the humanitarian and ideological concept behind Ubuntu. "This new version brings black men closer together than ever in the spirit of Ubuntu." Shuttleworth then demonstrated the concept of Ubuntu by getting on his knees and sucking a young black boy's erect penis. | 23:09 |

| Thymecop | ISLE OF MAN - June 1, 2006 - At a press conference today, Canonical CEO and Free Software spokesnigger Mark Shuttleworth announced the immediate availability of version 6.06 of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. The latest version, known by its code name, "The Diaper Drake," includes special features designed to make Linux easier and more comfortable for niggers the world over. | 23:10 |
| Pelo | abultman, why ? | 23:10 |
| Thymecop | "Niggers have always had trouble understanding new technology," Shuttleworth began. "Computers are no exception. Some people have said this is because niggers are dumb, but I believe the real problem is that technology has traditionally been designed for white people. Ubuntu changes all that. It was developed from the ground up with niggers in mind. It will usher in a whole new era of Afro-ergonomic computing." | 23:10 |

| jepler | lalalalalala: a user who can run apt-get can completely f*** the system by uninstalling required packages, or install a specially crafted package which will give him full root/administrator privileges. so there's little point (IMO) in allowing a user to install software via apt and not giving full sudo privs. | 23:27 |
| larrywells | how can I tell Ubuntu just to start in command prompt everytime | 23:27 |

| Peanut | I've got a MacBookPro (Santa Rosa) with NVIDIA graphics. If I install the restricted driver and restart X, things work fine. However, every time I reboot, X refuses to recognise the NVIDIA and goes into a low-res safe mode.
