| keydell | do you know what card you use? | 00:05 |
| jmaddude | its a powerbook G4 laptop | 00:05 |
| magnetron | samantha17: use a long / strong one at setup, it will be used for the initial encryption. it's better to use a strong one at first and change it to something easier later, than use a weak password at first | 00:05 |

| |_ocke | ... I don't understand, I'm an exclusive ubuntu user and i wouldnt dream of using windows or anything like it to fix a problem, even when it involves booting windows.. linux is much more suited for it, a grub loader can tell it to boot /dev/hda1 just as easily as windows can, if not more, and I don't have a legit windows install cd to use for it without it being wrong | 00:48 |
| wols | |_ocke: have you run update-grub ? | 00:48 |
| |_ocke | wols: no, would that figure out that there is only a windows partition and make that the default? | 00:49 |

| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: open up a terminal, then type: "ls -l PATH/TO/FILE/FILENAME" | 01:21 |
| katlyn | asshole | 01:21 |
| wy | scragar: Is it stable to use? | 01:21 |
| Surlent | I can't even SEE the bloody motherboard logo. The monitor acts like it's in sleep mode or something | 01:21 |
| jmaddud1 | my resolution options go no higher than 640x480, how do I change this? | 01:21 |
| lewis | wols: it came up with "(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown | 01:22 |
| BB88 | Surlent: You checked RAM, GFX, Power Supply? | 01:22 |
| wols | jmaddud1: ubuto already told you | 01:22 |
| jmaddud1 | sorry lost the advice | 01:22 |
| wols | !fixres | jmaddud1 | 01:22 |
| ubotu | jmaddud1: 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 | 01:22 |
| jmaddud1 | window got closed | 01:22 |
| wols | Surlent: #hardware | 01:22 |
| BB88 | Surlent: Well I would do the battery and CMOS first, then go through the list of RAM, GFX and Power Supply. | 01:22 |
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: that should show it's perms, if it has execute perms then try typing it's full path directly into the command line, it may exit before you see the result. | 01:22 |
| jhurley7 | hey all | 01:22 |
| Surlent | BB88: RAM is intact, the card plugged in, the power supply working. It was all working 100% until I hit reset while it was trying to shut down (and seemingly failing at it) | 01:22 |
| wy | What about Azureus? | 01:22 |
| jasonco | how can i easilly determine what version of Ubuntu im running? | 01:23 |
| wols | Surlent: you are very OT here. go in #hardware or something | 01:23 |
| lewis | wols: it came up with "(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown | 01:23 |
| wols | !version | jasonco | 01:23 |
| ubotu | jasonco: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 01:23 |
| jhurley7 | does anyone know if it's possible for me to send commands to an input device? like a joystick device | 01:23 |
| BB88 | Surlent: Yes try the CMOS and Battery then, as I trouble with ubuntu and resetting causing non-booting. | 01:23 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, it says "command not found" | 01:23 |
| jasonco | thanks | 01:23 |
| wols | lewis: then you gotta pastebin it | 01:23 |
| scragar | wy: never had any problems with ktorrent, even on gnome. Azures is bloated since it requires JRE | 01:23 |
| BB88 | wols: It is inadvertedly related to ubuntu, but I guess so. | 01:23 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, the file name end with -bin and doesn't seem to have an extension | 01:23 |
| KinPumpkinKing | **ends | 01:23 |
| jhurley7 | i know i can pipe out the output of the device, so i can save it, but can i send it back? | 01:23 |
| silent_ | jasonco: what you running? | 01:23 |
| jasonco | gusty | 01:23 |
| jasonco | thanks | 01:23 |
| silent_ | good stuff | 01:23 |
| lewis | wols: Can't even get onto anything on the laptop Ubuntu is installed on. | 01:23 |
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: put the file name in quotes? And lot's of files don't have extentions, don't let it worry you | 01:24 |
| wy | scragar: BitTorrent look pretty good | 01:24 |
| Surlent | damn thing. They really need some sort of warning about this crap. Like: DON'T MESS WITH D-LINK? OR YOUR COMPUTER WILL BE SCREWED and DON'T RESET WHILE SHUTTING DOWN EVER and such | 01:24 |
| wols | lewis: you ahve a terminal, so that's not true | 01:24 |
| Surlent | but oh well. | 01:24 |
| lewis | The OS isn't functioning in other words. Nothing graphical comes up - just a blue box with the thing i told you earlier. | 01:24 |
| Surlent | thanks for the advice | 01:24 |
| DareFace | wols: i don't really understand what i have to do | 01:24 |
| wy | scragar: I don't really want to install lots of related packages for KDE | 01:24 |
| wols | Surlent: stop the shouting | 01:24 |
| wols | !paste | DareFace | 01:25 |
| ubotu | DareFace: 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) | 01:25 |
| Surlent | sorry. I get really irritated with this thing | 01:25 |
| BB88 | Surlent: No worries, and good luck. | 01:25 |
| Surlent | thanks | 01:25 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, it still says file not found | 01:25 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, I mean, command not foud, sorry | 01:25 |
| KinPumpkinKing | **found | 01:25 |
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: are you sure it's the right path? | 01:26 |
| BB88 | wy: KTorrent I have found to be the best. Deluge seems to crash quite a lot, and Azureus I have never liked. | 01:26 |
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: path's are case sensitive | 01:26 |
| mentalidub | hi | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | KinPumpkinKing, in general linux is case sensitive . :) its a 'sensitive' os. be nice to it | 01:26 |
| mentalidub | i have a problem running mohaa in linux | 01:26 |
| lewis | wols: The OS isn't functioning. Nothing 'graphical' comes up - just a blue box with the thing i told you earlier. I can make my way to a terminal which is what i've been using all this time you've been giving me instructions. It works the same as a normal terminal | 01:26 |
| scragar | wy: it also doesn't matter much that it's a KDE app, the overhead is still less than wine or java... | 01:26 |
| DareFace | wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48394/ | 01:27 |
| wols | lewis: when the kernel, init and bash load which apparently do, it IS functioning. a terminal is a functioning OS | 01:27 |
| three | is there a way over an ssh connection to make a dialog with my custom message pop up on a linux machine (specifically ubuntu)? | 01:27 |
| wy | scragar: Thanks. What about qtorrent? It looks like only require two libs | 01:27 |
| hallo | hi, i am using xchat,but i cannot see the menu bar,how to configure it? | 01:27 |
| Nelsmar | has anyone had experience setting up a VPN ive always had problems tryng to set it up. i did it a few years ago but i cant quite remember what i ahd done. im tryng to make it so my friend can connect from his hosue to mine and browse samba on my server as well as other minor netowrking actions | 01:27 |
| mentalidub | im using xchat too | 01:27 |
| scragar | wy: I've never actualy head of that... | 01:27 |
| BB88 | hallo: Press F9. | 01:27 |
| lewis | wols: i cant effectively access it properly. i get stopped at this blue screen thing asking if i want diagnose or not | 01:28 |
| hallo | really relly thank you, BB88,it is great | 01:28 |
| BB88 | hallo: No worries ;) | 01:28 |
| wols | lewis: ctrl+alt+f2 and you have a terminal | 01:28 |
| wols | lewis: and that's all you ever need | 01:28 |
| mentalidub | hi, i have a problem running mohaa in ubuntu, when i quit it crashes, any help ? | 01:29 |
| mentalidub | hi, i have a problem running mohaa in ubuntu, when i quit it crashes, any help ? | 01:29 |
| mentalidub | hi, i have a problem running mohaa in ubuntu, when i quit it crashes, any help ? | 01:29 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, it ran, but nothing happened. what should I do to check if it got installed? | 01:29 |
| skyfalcon866 | is it normal for reiserfs to do a tree rebuild | 01:29 |
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: yeah, it must just not display any messages. | 01:29 |
| bkruse_home | anyone play counter strike source in linux? Particularly can you play source (using wine or whatever) from a windows parition? | 01:29 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, yeah, okay, but how do I use what I installed? It's a game called Dune Legacy. | 01:30 |
| mentalidub | there are no bynaries for CS:source | 01:30 |
| newguyss | hi guys, is there any DC++ client I can use ? | 01:30 |
| jhurley7 | anyone know if there are there any macro recording programs for linux? | 01:30 |
| bkruse_home | mentalidub: that was the nubish remark I have ever heard | 01:30 |
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: not exactly sure, normaly things come with a readme, you should check for that, if not try using updatedb and locate or find | 01:31 |
| mentalidub | what ? | 01:31 |
| Dr_willis | mohaa has a native linux client? | 01:31 |
| mentalidub | yep | 01:31 |
| mentalidub | but when i quit it crashes | 01:31 |
| mentalidub | i dont know why | 01:31 |
| Dr_willis | well if it crashes after you quit.. whats the problem. :) | 01:31 |
| mentalidub | that i have to restart the X server | 01:31 |
| scragar | mentalidub: if it crashes have you tried pressing ctrl+alt+backspace? it always forces ubuntu to resume shutting down when the problem happens for me. | 01:32 |
| QDVDAuthor | has anyone here used QDVDAuthor before ? | 01:32 |
| mentalidub | yes, that is what i do | 01:32 |
| scragar | QDVDAuthor: yes, but I'm no pro | 01:33 |
| mentalidub | lol i got 100 fps with mohaa on linux, in windows i got like 45 | 01:33 |
| mentalidub | sorry my english | 01:33 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, nothing relevant showed up... | 01:33 |
| QDVDAuthor | Cool, I am trying to get people to ceate a few templates for QDVDAuthor and have staretd a small competition. YOu could win some $. | 01:33 |
| wy | scragar: I installed it. Look very good | 01:34 |
| QDVDAuthor | And the more templates there are the better tool it will be. So this is a win win . | 01:34 |
| Nelsmar_ | hhmm did anyone answer my question about vpn.... or rather respond to it? driver issues so i had to force a reset on my laptop :( | 01:34 |
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: did you run it with root perms, or user perms? | 01:35 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, I had to run it with root perms | 01:35 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, user perms weren't enough | 01:35 |
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: with root perms it will proberly be in /usr/local/games or /opt | 01:35 |
| === tuna-fish is now known as tuna | ||
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: but no guarentees on it being either | 01:35 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, yup, it's... not there. | 01:36 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, I guess I'll just leave it alone... thanks | 01:36 |
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: if you know what minute you installed it on you could still find it | 01:37 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, I don't, though... | 01:37 |
| Nelsmar_ | so has anyone setup a VPN server before? or know any tutorial/guides? ive been seraching the web and cant seem to fin dmuch help ;x | 01:38 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, sorry, really, sorry for wasting your time. :/ | 01:38 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, well, all I can say is, do not install dune legacy! :P | 01:38 |
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: where did you get the file from? | 01:38 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, sourceforge | 01:38 |
| scragar | KinPumpkinKing: k, I'll take a look see if I can work out it's install location :P | 01:39 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, thanks a lot! | 01:39 |
| jmaddude | you guys rule, thanks for being patient with me (I got it thanks to your advice) | 01:40 |
| radiomark | Hello. I've newly installed Ubuntu. I need ALSA 10.0.15 to support my soundcard, and it's not available as a package. It's not too bleeding-edge either. Is there a package repository I can get it from, rather than compiling it myself? | 01:40 |
| scragar | If it doesn't work ask somebody in #dunelegacy at irc.freenode.net or paste your error to some pastebin and put a link on this page. <-- you could ask the developers where they put it... | 01:41 |
| KinPumpkinKing | scragar, I wrote that down, I'll get back to it tomorrow... tired, now. Thanks for all your help. Bai bai! | 01:42 |
| scragar | radiomark: you may be able to try enabling proposed packages in synaptic, might not be there though | 01:43 |
| scguy318 | radiomark: possibly in Ubuntu Hardy, but probably for ALSA you'll have to build yourself | 01:44 |
| scguy318 | !alsa | radiomark | 01:44 |
| ubotu | radiomark: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:44 |
| damaltor | hello there... still somebody awake? | 01:45 |
| cleaton | yes | 01:46 |
| damaltor | havin a problem with scsi devices in xubuntu | 01:46 |
| === ibblu is now known as ibb | ||
| SpookyET | What's an F-Spot alternative? I can't stand it. | 01:46 |
| radiomark | scguy318: Well for this particularl case, I could use kernel 2.6.24-rc1 or later. But I can't see kernel versions later than 2.6.22. Do Ubuntu users just work a few versions behind, or is there a way for me to test 'unstable' packages? | 01:46 |
| damaltor | is have an scsi streamer an a scsi cdrw drive. works correct in any live distri, but doesnt work out-of-the box in ubuntu. what can i do? | 01:47 |
| scguy318 | radiomark: stable Ubuntu is 6 months behind except for security updates, really | 01:47 |
| scguy318 | radiomark: you could consider an upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy, thats the current development version | 01:47 |
| damaltor | !scsi | 01:47 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about scsi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:47 |
| damaltor | bad. | 01:47 |
| scguy318 | radiomark: it's the bleding edge | 01:47 |
| scguy318 | radiomark: you may want to ask in #ubuntu+1, since I wouldn't know how | 01:47 |
| scguy318 | *bleeding | 01:48 |
| wweasel | radiomark, scguy318: it's not necessary to fully upgrade to hardy just to get the alsa packages | 01:48 |
| ConstyXIV | how easy is it to totally erase flash memory vs. a HDD (and likewise, how difficult to recover the data)? | 01:49 |
| cleaton | SpookyET, there's digikam a kde app. and there's also like google picasaa | 01:49 |
| wweasel | radiomark: check out "prevu" in order to get the hardy source and compile it. | 01:49 |
| damaltor | in germany (here) its quarter to three in the morning.. would anyone tell me his time? | 01:49 |
| cleaton | and probably a lot more | 01:49 |
| === Varka_ is now known as Varka | ||
| scguy318 | wweasel: ah, thanks for the info | 01:49 |
| wweasel | scguy318: My sound card wasn't supported under Feisty. prevu'd gutsy :P | 01:50 |
| hallo | china 10:00 | 01:50 |
| damaltor | oh well.. | 01:50 |
| damaltor | thats nice, | 01:50 |
| damaltor | someone else? | 01:50 |
| hallo | heihei | 01:50 |
| SpookyET | cleaton: I find browsing my pictures hard with it | 01:50 |
| DareFace | wols: are you still there? | 01:50 |
| damaltor | his ought to be a channel from nearly every place in the world =) | 01:50 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Okay, I need to read on prevu. But that sounds like quite a manual and involved process? | 01:50 |
| cleaton | SpookyET, with f-spot? i just use the filebrowser to brows my pictures | 01:51 |
| scguy318 | damaltor: current time? 12/15/07 7:50:23 PM Central Standard Time | 01:51 |
| chetnick | hi guys , i want to backup my ubuntu to external hard drive which is on /media/ED_mini location. How do i gzip /home/ and /etc and redirect all to /media/ED_mini location? | 01:51 |
| cleaton | SpookyET, don't like any of those photomanager thingies | 01:51 |
| tuga3d | hi all! | 01:51 |
| damaltor | scguy318: thx... i think i ought to get in bed... but | 01:51 |
| SpookyET | cleaton: i liked the vista one | 01:51 |
| damaltor | havin a problem with scsi devices in xubuntu | 01:51 |
| cleaton | SpookyET, webalbums are nice though | 01:51 |
| damaltor | is have an scsi streamer an a scsi cdrw drive. works correct in any live distri, but doesnt work out-of-the box in ubuntu. what can i do? | 01:51 |
| tuga3d | i need a litle help, my /dev/video0 just desapear, how do i fix it? | 01:52 |
| wweasel | radiomark: The idea of prevu is that it automates the process of backporting from bleeding edge source | 01:52 |
| wweasel | radiomark: It's not too hard. | 01:52 |
| wweasel | But may I ask what sound card Gutsy doesn't support? | 01:52 |
| cleaton | tuga3d, are you sure it's connected to your comp? | 01:52 |
| corevette | i installed phpmysql, but i don't know how to start it | 01:53 |
| cleaton | tuga3d, what was it? a usb webcam? | 01:53 |
| tuga3d | cleaton, yes | 01:53 |
| damaltor | corevette: isnt that a frontend for working w/ the sql databases? | 01:53 |
| tuga3d | cleaton, gspda | 01:53 |
| radiomark | wweasel: So maybe I got the wrong end of the stick with Ubuntu, but I thought that I would be able to keep my system up to date using pre-compiled packages that were available? Or is that not the case. Do I just install a 'release' and get a slow trickle of the more essential updates? | 01:53 |
| corevette | damaltor: so what is it | 01:53 |
| cleaton | tuga3d, write lsusb in the console and see if you can find it | 01:53 |
| corevette | damaltor: how do you use it | 01:54 |
| damaltor | corevette: are u german? | 01:54 |
| Neodudeman | does anyone here have an eee? | 01:54 |
| corevette | damaltor: english | 01:54 |
| tuga3d | cleaton, nop | 01:54 |
| wweasel | radiomark: Well, I find it surprising that Gutsy, the latest version, does not support your sound card. What card is it? | 01:54 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: no. but i can tell you that ubuntu works on it =) | 01:54 |
| tuga3d | going to unplug and plug again | 01:54 |
| damaltor | corevette: extract it into /var/www/name_of_your_choice | 01:54 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Well I have a couple of cards which require code only in ALSA 10.0.15 -- a Scratchamp and a Rane SL-1 | 01:55 |
| tuga3d | cleaton, it worked :) thanks | 01:55 |
| corevette | damaltor: so what if i installed it via synaptic, whats the poitn? | 01:55 |
| damaltor | then open in a webbrowser [ip_of_server]/[name_you_choosen_before] | 01:55 |
| lwizardl | Hi | 01:55 |
| hallo | hi ,my kde is crashed,this is the error messages in /root/.XSESSIONS,startkde: Starting up... | 01:55 |
| hallo | /usr/bin/kdeinit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: art_free | 01:55 |
| hallo | startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation | 01:55 |
| cleaton | tuga3d, np =) | 01:55 |
| tuga3d | cleaton, i think is my usb port :) thanks again | 01:55 |
| hallo | so what does that mean | 01:55 |
| Neodudeman | damaltor: lol, i kno. thats the second thing i would do if i got an eee. | 01:55 |
| damaltor | corevette: good question. i have no idea if im honest... try looking into /var/www if there is a new dir | 01:56 |
| wweasel | radiomark: "keep my system up to date using pre-compiled packages" is a dubious notion. What would this mean? The idea of a release is to take a set of packages and make it stable. Ubuntu keeps a very rigorous release cycle. | 01:56 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: so what do u want to know? friend of mine has one | 01:56 |
| chetnick | hi guys , i want to backup my ubuntu to external hard drive which is on /media/ED_mini location. How do i gzip /home/ and /etc and redirect all to /media/ED_mini location? | 01:56 |
| cleaton | tuga3d, nah usb webcams can be like that, i've had the same problem | 01:56 |
| lwizardl | i need to set the resoluion that ubuntu uses while starting before the login screen. it starts at a res higher than my lcd can display but the login screen is the native res i need 1024x768 | 01:56 |
| siccness | anyone done port forwarding with iptables before? | 01:56 |
| corevette | damaltor: more importantly, how do i delete all my current existing databse entries | 01:56 |
| tuga3d | cleaton, one more question, my webcam image is too dark, do you know how to fix it? | 01:56 |
| wweasel | radiomark: The issue here is that you need a bleeding edge version of ALSA. It's *really* new. But the person who was helping you before was wrong: it's really not necessary for you to upgrade to the Hardy unstable. In fact, I really don't recommend it. | 01:57 |
| damaltor | corevette: hm... dont know. usually i use phpmyadmin wich is only a .tar.gzip wich has to be extracted into /var/www ans then can be uses via webserver | 01:57 |
| cleaton | tuga3d, i also have that, and i really haven't found a solution for that. the way v4l seems to work is that the different programs that uses the webcam should have brightness settings. and the onlyone i know with good webcam settings is AMSN | 01:57 |
| Neodudeman | damaltor: aww man, too cool. I thought I read something about an ubuntu modified to work specifically for the eee. Is that true, or was that my imagination? | 01:58 |
| damaltor | oh... had a bit too much alcohol i think.. my writing is bad. but the thing ought to work thogh | 01:58 |
| cleaton | i think you can change brightness with v4l somehow but i don't know how to save it :( | 01:58 |
| wweasel | radiomark: What we need to do for you is to install ALSA x.x.x.15 in Gutsy | 01:58 |
| soldats | Neodudeman, i als heard ubuntu works on EEEPC so you should be good | 01:58 |
| tuga3d | cleaton, ok. thanks going to google it | 01:58 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Okay well I am used to Slackware, where I would just pinch a later package/kernel from '-current' and use that. | 01:58 |
| wweasel | radiomark: I suppose that's the equivalent of Debian Unstable? (i don't know Slackware) | 01:59 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: well.. that friend installed ubuntu and tried to use compiz-fusion wich worced perfectly... slow cpu, but nice graphics card makes it work. try xubuntu or install ubuntu and then a window manager of ur choice | 01:59 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Yes, I think it might be | 01:59 |
| scguy318 | wweasel: I believe that's the case | 01:59 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Is there an equivalent for Ubuntu? | 01:59 |
| Neodudeman | soldats: ya, that's what I heard. lol, i like ur name. do you knife or chainsaw, soldats? | 01:59 |
| batma8 | is there a edgy specific help channel? | 01:59 |
| scguy318 | batma8: don't think so | 02:00 |
| damaltor | corevette: try this: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php | 02:00 |
| scguy318 | batma8: you can ask your question here | 02:00 |
| soldats | Neodudeman, knif or chainsaw? | 02:00 |
| radiomark | wweasel: I guess this is the 'herdy' that you speak of? | 02:00 |
| Neodudeman | damaltor: what are his thoughts about the keyboard and screen? | 02:00 |
| corevette | alright thanks damaltor | 02:00 |
| Neodudeman | soldats: oh, nvm. lol. | 02:00 |
| wweasel | radiomark: No, Ubuntu development process actually takes a snapshot of Debian Unstable, and processes it into a stable release over the 6 month release cycle. | 02:00 |
| n_o_O_b | How could I own my ext2 usb-flash? Can't copy files to it. | 02:00 |
| batma8 | im havin some problems in edgy with beryl, beryl runs great..but all my other gl stuff runs super choppy, etc screensavers n such. i cant upgrade to other ubuntu's becuse my nvidia card fails in fawny and gutsy | 02:01 |
| soldats | Neodudeman, no realy i kinda wanna know what you mean now | 02:01 |
| scguy318 | n_o_O_b: chmod -R 777 /mnt/point | 02:01 |
| wweasel | radiomark: Gutsy, the current release, 7.10, came out a little over a month ago. Hardy is in its infancy and I disagree with scguy that you should use it. | 02:01 |
| scguy318 | n_o_O_b: prefix with sudo if needs be | 02:01 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: keyboard: small, but useable. screen: to small to play (he has the 10" version) but enough for working a few hors... not for the whole day but (he is a university student) does the job in class | 02:01 |
| kmg | hey, what's a good app with m4a to mp3 conversion? | 02:01 |
| scguy318 | kmg: ffmpeg | 02:01 |
| wweasel | radiomark: Interspersed with my discussion of release cycles, I've been trying to get to my suggestion :P Have you compiled anything before? | 02:01 |
| scguy318 | wweasel: what do you suggest? I only suggested Hardy because it's the option I'm aware of | 02:02 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Okay I understand a little more. Does this mean that the equivalent of me stealing from '-current' is to run the risk and take from Debian unstable? | 02:02 |
| Neodudeman | damaltor: oh man, that's exactly what I need | 02:02 |
| kmg | scguy318: thx | 02:02 |
| radiomark | wweasel: I'm quite familiar with compiling from source thanks, I just thought that using Ubuntu was meant to automate a lot of this process for me | 02:02 |
| === YanchoAWY is now known as Yancho | ||
| captmorgan | anyone know how I can change the backgrounds on each desktop? | 02:03 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: as far as i tried the keyboard has a good "feeling" ehile typing.. dunno how to say that right now. but feels good. good point-of-pressure ("druckpunkt" is the german word, you feel exactlyy ewhen a key is pressed) and just big enough to use it in a somehow normal way without having to look all the time... though it takes a ehile to get to know it | 02:03 |
| wweasel | radiomark: Sorry, didn't mean to offend! Yeah, it automates a lot of it. Still, it can't work magic. ALSA 1.0.15 was released after the Ubuntu release, or at least after the package freeze. | 02:04 |
| Yopu | captmorgan: i was wondering that too...if you could have multiple wallpapers for each workspace | 02:04 |
| pollo | c.abjects.net | 02:04 |
| n_o_O_b | scguy318, it may sounds noobie, but "chmod -R 777 /mnt/point" doesn't work, gives me "No such file or directory" | 02:04 |
| captmorgan | Yopu: pretty sure you can | 02:04 |
| Neodudeman | soldats: oh. well, I feel like an idiot now. lol. I thought your name was referring to the 2d shoot-em-up game called "soldat" in which you had a standard array of weapons and secondary weapons, among which include the knife and chainsaw. It's a relatively big debate among players whether to use the chainsaw or the knife; but I guess your name is based of the actual word 'soldat' which is soldier in german and dutch | 02:04 |
| scguy318 | n_o_O_b: change /mnt/point to the actual mnt point of the device? | 02:04 |
| captmorgan | just need to figure it out | 02:04 |
| fontenwp | \q | 02:05 |
| wweasel | radiomark: You won't often find yourself compiling anything from source. But, in this case you'd be best off compiling Alsa from source | 02:05 |
| radiomark | wweasel: No, no offence at all! I guess I'm hoping to be able to select individual binaries from an 'ubuntu unstable', but I see that's not really how it works | 02:05 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: but this is usual with all notebooks, takes a while to know where the special keys are and to know how far the keys are away from each other. small, nothing to use all the day, but great for class because very small. the battery doesnt run too long, but is enough for a few hours | 02:05 |
| soldats | Neodudeman, naw, buts its also a french word meaning the same thing, but it interests me to know what the game is called. i might want to check it out | 02:05 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: if you are good in german reading, i have a great test | 02:05 |
| drarem | I have two gaming boxes and one speaker system, can I set up one of the boxes as an audio server and mix the audio from the other gaming pc into it/out to speakers? | 02:05 |
| Neodudeman | damaltor: that sounds reasonable, but I read you mention something about cpu? | 02:05 |
| Neodudeman | damaltor: lol, no, i'm not | 02:06 |
| afabian | Hmm. I have a Dell Inspiron 1420N, and it came with Feisty preinstalled. It works pretty nicely. In fact, I wouldn't bother upgrading, except ... well, it's kind of silly, actually. I like gedit, and there's a bug in the plugins. It might be easier for me to track the bug down than upgrade... but! | 02:06 |
| captmorgan | Yopu: I found this link, it just is not detailed anough for myselh http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=641087 | 02:06 |
| Neodudeman | soldats: http://www.soldat.pl/screens.html here are some screenies. The game looks minimalist, but I guarantee, it's incredible | 02:06 |
| soldats | awesome thx | 02:06 |
| afabian | When I upgrade, the sound gets a little flaky. What are the odds that I could pin, say, the kernel and sound stuff, and upgrade? | 02:06 |
| DareFace | can someone help me use compiz? | 02:06 |
| wweasel | radiomark: Nope, not really any equivalent to that. Prevu is the closest thing, which automates the process of taking the deb-src (Ubuntu's modified source) from the equivalent of 'ubuntu unstable', compiling and installing it in your current environment. | 02:06 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: oh, ok.. cpu is enough tu work. but nothing more. o/office takes a while to load, but then works good | 02:07 |
| foso | hey all, ive been working on compiz settings alot today and now it wont let me enable some of the settings like cube reflection | 02:07 |
| captmorgan | DareFace whats your ? | 02:07 |
| kmg | ugh, soundkonverter can only decode mod mid and wav files for some reason... | 02:07 |
| Pelo | DareFace, ask in #compiz-fusion | 02:07 |
| foso | pelo thanks | 02:07 |
| DareFace | j #compiz-fusion | 02:07 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Okay, that's a shame because it's not quite the time-saver I was hoping for. I guess I expected that releases would be available as packages for the system, and slowly work their way into being 'stable' | 02:07 |
| Pelo | DareFace, /join ... | 02:07 |
| Neodudeman | damaltor; did he get the 4gb, 512 version? and did he do any hardware mods? | 02:07 |
| wweasel | radiomark: Is that how it works in Slackware? | 02:07 |
| radiomark | wweasel: so I figured I'd be able to get a package for ALSA 10.0.15 because it's a release, but not the latest dev version | 02:08 |
| DareFace | thnx | 02:08 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: yes, think so.. but no mods at all. he is a common user | 02:08 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Well in Slackware, I just take packages from -current, and install them on this system | 02:08 |
| scguy318 | radiomark: you might possibly be able to manually d/l the debs for ALSA and install, but that's probably problematic | 02:08 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Sometimes it breaks stuff (eg. compiled against different library versions) so maybe I have some dependencies to update too. But it largely works. | 02:08 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: not a modder | 02:08 |
| kernelwx | hola | 02:09 |
| n_o_O_b | scguy318, I've tried "chmod -R 777 /media/disk-1", which is mount point for me. It gave me "chmod: changing permissions of `/media/disk-1': Operation not permitted | 02:09 |
| n_o_O_b | chmod: changing permissions of `/media/disk-1/lost+found': Operation not permitted | 02:09 |
| n_o_O_b | chmod: `/media/disk-1/lost+found': Permission denied" | 02:09 |
| radiomark | scguy318: Sounds like it might be problematic, as I suspect the kernels might be quite different? I don't know much about Ubuntu or Debian though | 02:09 |
| Neodudeman | damaltor: off the top of your head, do you know what the wireless card he uses is? i'll just google it if you don't know | 02:09 |
| n_o_O_b | Still no luck in copying my file | 02:09 |
| batma8 | why would gl screensavers not work ONLY when beryl is running | 02:09 |
| Pelo | n_o_O_b, , use sudo | 02:09 |
| scguy318 | n_o_O_b: why not just do sudo cp /path/to/source /path/to/dest? | 02:10 |
| wweasel | radiomark: Ok, so it's the equivalent of taking the deb from the development version of Ubuntu. | 02:10 |
| wweasel | radiomark: Check out 'prevu' | 02:10 |
| radiomark | wweasel: I'm trying prevu now, although not having much luck! | 02:10 |
| n_o_O_b | Pelo, sudo made no difference, I've tried | 02:10 |
| Pelo | batma8, probably because gl screensaver needs a compoziting engine | 02:10 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: i have no idea.. me for myself, im using a netgear ma521 wich works great... but the computerim using atm is a fujitsu subnotebook, 600 mhz (!) witch xubuntu feisty on it | 02:10 |
| Pelo | n_o_O_b, why do you want to mess in the lost+found folder anyway ? | 02:10 |
| batma8 | Pelo, screensavers work great UNTIL beryl is running | 02:11 |
| batma8 | how do i fix that | 02:11 |
| radiomark | wweasel: I think because it looks like Ubuntu doesn't actually have an ALSA package for the drivers -- they come as part of the kernel | 02:11 |
| Neodudeman | damaltor: alright, cool, thanks. i appreciate the info | 02:11 |
| Pelo | batma8, my mistake , try asking in #compiz-fusion | 02:11 |
| batma8 | sweet, thanks man | 02:11 |
| scguy318 | Pelo: because he was doing chmod -R 777 ..., I didn't realize he had an ext partition | 02:11 |
| wweasel | radiomark: It does have an alsa package: alsa-base. But Alsa is a kernel module as well, you're right. that's the case with all distros, not just ubuntu | 02:11 |
| holycow | what controls resolution in the latest ubuntu? in the past the xorg.conf file would have resolution entries, now you can leave them out and something will autoguess the resolution possibilities for a particular monitor. anyone know? | 02:12 |
| radiomark | wweasel: in which case, I'd need kernel 2.6.44-rc1 or later | 02:12 |
| n_o_O_b | Pelo, I don't want to, just need to copy some stuff on drive. Can't. | 02:12 |
| Pelo | scguy318, oookkk | 02:12 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: np... its just what it is said: a small thing to work. nothing else. only bad thing ist the battery eich is not that good... but enough. | 02:12 |
| scguy318 | holycow: still xorg.conf | 02:12 |
| Pelo | n_o_O_b, sudo nautilus /path | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | holycow, thjers a way that X can also query the monitor for what res's it can handle. | 02:12 |
| bmk789 | how do i use rsync so that when it moves a file from source to destination, it deletes the source file? | 02:12 |
| n_o_O_b | I'll try sudo cp now | 02:12 |
| wols_ | n_o_O_b: unmount, chmod your mountpoint, remount | 02:12 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: on my 5 year old subnotebook here i get about 10 hours with two bats in it. the eee will not reach there but enough though | 02:12 |
| wweasel | radiomark: Well, I wouldn't backport the kernel. Your best bet in this case is compiling alsa from source. | 02:13 |
| holycow | ah so x now does this automatically neat. then kde and gnome just talk to x and fill up ther resolution change apps with whatever x tells them is possible? | 02:13 |
| wweasel | radiomark: But I suppose it's also worth considering whether Ubuntu is the right distro for you | 02:13 |
| scguy318 | holycow: X has always been able to auto-detect I believe | 02:13 |
| Pelo | holycow, pretty much | 02:13 |
| wols_ | radiomark: that kernel does not exist | 02:13 |
| scguy318 | holycow: if you start X without an xorg.conf it tries to guess and detect defaults | 02:13 |
| Neodudeman | damaltor: lol, throwing in the german words i see. how long did you say the battery lasted again? | 02:13 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Compiling ALSA from source certainly does work | 02:14 |
| wweasel | radiomark: If you are frequently finding yourself in need of things more quickly than a 6 mo. release cycle provides, you might be best off running Debian Unstable (sid) or Debian Testing (lenny) | 02:14 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Ubuntu definitely isn't the distribution for me for many of the reasons you've seen :) The reason I am looking at it closely is as a platform for distributing to users with a piece of software (which requires ALSA 10.0.15) | 02:15 |
| dell_lin | if i am installing wireless lan card (pci) do i require firmware need to be configure /install | 02:15 |
| Neodudeman | damaltor: oh, nvm, you answered the question. I just forgot to scroll down. lol. ok, thanks again | 02:15 |
| wols_ | dell_lin: depends on the chip, but most likely yes | 02:15 |
| Pir8 | Can anyone suggest a good/reliable/free, automated backup application for ubuntu? | 02:15 |
| jmichaelx | i have tried everything to get my rt2500-based wireless working well in gutsy, but it is starting to look hopeless. i have blacklisted the crap gutsy rt2500pci driver, and have compiled the serialmonkey rt2500 driver... this has helped have a more stable connection to my WEP-protected home-network, but i am having an even worse time connecting to totally unencrypted public networks, usually being unable to connect at all. does anyone | 02:15 |
| jmichaelx | have a suggestion? | 02:15 |
| damaltor | Neodudeman: think the best was something about 5 hours... sorry i'm a bit drunk so my german gets through... =) it is very dependen of what u are doing, how bright the display is set, how hard u use the cpu and so on | 02:15 |
| dell_lin | dlink 510 ralink 61 | 02:16 |
| wweasel | Pir8: radiomark: Well, what most people would do in this case is compile the bleeding edge I'd recommend that you compile ALSA 1.0.15 from source. | 02:16 |
| wweasel | Pir8: Sorry, pasted the wrong thing | 02:16 |
| Pir8 | lllno worries :) | 02:16 |

| wweasel | Pir8: np :) | 02:18 |
| radiomark | wweasel: Okay I will carry on compiling from source for now then. I look forward to being able to avoid this step tho. Thanks for all the help | 02:18 |

| Pelo | silent_, the way it works is that repos packages are the easiest to deal with since they have been made for and tested, deb packages are the next easiest, and last you have compiling from source with works in all linux distro | 02:19 |
| wweasel | radiomark: No problem. I know how annoying it is. My sound card (HDA Intel) wasn't supported until .14, while Feisty (previous release) only had .13. Compiling from source was my only choice, really | 02:19 |

| Yoakim | I think it's a good match | 02:36 |
| Pelo | Joshooa, that's an RC level thing but I can't tell you how to do it | 02:36 |
| Pelo | I don't know | 02:36 |
| Joshooa | Pelo: RC? | 02:36 |

| Pelo | Yoakim, are you sure your printer is properly setup, with paper and ink and the paper properly alinged and stuff ? | 02:38 |
| Joshooa | Pelo: No ideas on why network manager wont just connect to my network? if it's on roaming I think it sees it, but I have to click on my network name or it wont connect, it just tries and fails otherwise. | 02:38 |
| Yoakim | Pelo: Yes, It works like a charm on other OS'... | 02:38 |
| Pelo | Joshooa, not rea;l;y my area , sorry | 02:38 |
| Joshooa | Pelo: Alright thanks anyway, maybe I'll look into RC | 02:38 |
| Pelo | Yoakim, ok , try setting up the printer from the printer manager thingy in system > admin > printer, as a new printer, see if you can set it up better that way | 02:39 |

| === schlort_ is now known as schlort | ||
| Pelo | Yoakim, ok those are parts of cups, I was wondering it it might have been hp , they seem to have extra stuff to work with | 02:40 |
| Pelo | Cyanidetransisto, envy is probably the issue here, if you installed the driver manualy I suspect it might not happen | 02:41 |
| gluonman | I have a Logitech Quickcam Express that I have been trying for hours to get working. When I try to run it in camorama, it tells me that it could not connect to the video device (/dev/video0/). I have been weeding through multiple how-tos, etc. but I cannot get my cam working.

| ubotu | gluonman: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 02:42 |
| gluonman | Pelo, I just said that I have been looking all over the place to find something. That's why I'm here. | 02:42 |
| Pelo | gluonman, you 'Ll need to setup the webcam driver first, spcaXX or someting , gspca also I think | 02:42 |
| wy | If I choose "send the tracker a custom IP", does that mean I can not to send my real IP? | 02:42 |
| Yoakim | Pelo: Ok, so I have the choice between four versions: 1 Epson Stylus Photo 830 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.1 (recommended) | 02:42 |
| wy | That question is for ktorrent | 02:43 |
| gluonman | Pelo, how do I do that? I haven't found a clear explanation. I've just tried a whole bunch of crap leading me to nothing. | 02:43 |
| Pelo | gluonman, I was not sending you away, I was giving you the standard documentation for webcams | 02:43 |
| Yoakim | Pelo: the other three are Simplified, Simplified and [blank] instead of recommended | 02:43 |
| gluonman | Pelo, Okay. | 02:43 |
| Pelo | gluonman, read up a bit and look at the links ubotu gave you | 02:43 |
| gluonman | Pelo, I have looked at those links. | 02:44 |
| gluonman | Pelo, I'm still kind of lost. | 02:44 |
| Pelo | Yoakim, use the recommended wones | 02:44 |
| jubilee | Hey, what are the commands to compile??? | 02:44 |
| Pelo | gluonman, personnaly I tried last year to setup a cheapass webcam and gave up after a week , but I didn'T realhy need it , I was just messing about, | 02:45 |
| jubilee | I've forgotten... | 02:45 |
| Cyanidetransisto | pelo, i cannot manually install the drivers from the repositories. the legacy drivers dont work properly. | 02:45 |
| Pelo | gluonman, did you lookup your camera model in the forum ? | 02:45 |
| jubilee | it's like cd w/e and then... what? | 02:45 |
| gluonman | Pelo, yes. | 02:45 |
| Pelo | Cyanidetransisto, how about the binairies from the makers website ? | 02:45 |
| jubilee | COnfig? | 02:45 |
| jubilee | make config? | 02:46 |
| jubilee | idk | 02:46 |
| Pelo | gluonman, keep asking here periodicaly , maybe someone will be able to help eventualy, do not dispair | 02:46 |
| hallo | ./configure,maybe | 02:46 |
| gluonman | Pelo, thanks. | 02:46 |
| Pelo | jubilee, ./configure , make , sudo make install | 02:46 |
| jubilee | Mmm, yes. that' | 02:46 |
| Pelo | jubilee, you need to sudo apt-get install build-essential first | 02:46 |
| imbecile | how do i add icon sets? | 02:47 |
| Pelo | imbecile, drag drop the tar.gz file to the theme manager ( appearance) | 02:47 |
| Cyanidetransisto | pelo, unfortunantly the driver from nvidias site arent that great. i think i will try envys site and see what driver base/config they are using. | 02:47 |
| imbecile | Pelo: tyvm | 02:48 |
| wols_ | gluonman: did you try the easycam thing as suggested? | 02:48 |
| jubilee | Pelo, u r always life savr | 02:48 |
| gluonman | wols_, What is that? | 02:48 |
| linxeh | jp-mocs: hello again :) | 02:49 |
| GentleG | Hi, I'm hoping someone has a second to help me out with a scripting question | 02:49 |
| jp-mocs | hiya | 02:49 |
| jp-mocs | am I on the right one now? | 02:49 |
| Yoakim | Pelo: Sorry, I'm not getting anywhere with this and I think I'll have to call it a night... Thanks though for taking the time... | 02:49 |
| Pelo | GentleG, you would do better to ask the quesiton and hope | 02:49 |
| linxeh | uhuh :) | 02:49 |
| wols_ | gluonman: have you read the url Pelo gave you? | 02:49 |
| Pelo | Yoakim, best of luck | 02:49 |
| jubilee | Pelo, "E: Couldn't find package build-essential" | 02:49 |
| Pelo | wols_, stop it with the name dropping | 02:50 |
| jp-mocs | kewl... I need a moment of some kind soul's time to help with samba prob on Ubuntu 7.10 | 02:50 |
| gluonman | wols_, let me get back to that. I'm looking around. | 02:50 |
| linxeh | jp-mocs: you still need to explain waht the problem is :) | 02:50 |
| jp-mocs | Ahh... | 02:50 |
| hallo | sudo apt-get build-essential | 02:50 |
| jerror | im looking for a geek/hacker commune international traveler location doesnt matter, if you know of one with avail residency for about 2 years please let me know. | 02:50 |
| Pelo | jubilee, make sure you spelled it right sudo apt-get install build-essential | 02:50 |
| wols_ | Pelo: but you did give him the url | 02:50 |
| Pelo | jubilee, did you mess around with the sources.list file ? | 02:51 |
| wols_ | so it's normal to refer it like this | 02:51 |
| jmichaelx | i have tried everything to get my rt2500-based wireless working well in gutsy, but it is starting to look hopeless. i have blacklisted the crap gutsy rt2500pci driver, and have compiled the serialmonkey rt2500 driver... this has helped have a more stable connection to my WEP-protected home-network, but i am having an even worse time connecting to totally unencrypted public networks, does anyone have a suggestion? | 02:51 |
| GentleG | ok - I'm trying to automate mounting unclean ntfs drives. because it's not always the same dev I want to be able to pass the particular dev to the forced mount command. I'm using $1 to pass into the shell script. i.e. mount ntfs-3f /dev/$1 /media/unclean -o force. however it's still responding that it doesn't have a target | 02:51 |
| jubilee | Pelo, Yeah, I just caught it "essenial" | 02:51 |
| GentleG | 3g i mean | 02:51 |
| jubilee | I guess I already have it | 02:51 |
| jp-mocs | well... I had U6.06, everything was fine... just did total reinstall to 7.10, now it don't work... keep getting "group could not be found" | 02:51 |
| jp-mocs | only wierd thing in the reinstall is that now network is seen as eth1 instead of eth0 | 02:52 |
| linxeh | jp-mocs: what doesnt work? are you sharing or mounting? can you paste your configuration etc? did you copy your smb.conf from 6.06 into 7.10 ? | 02:52 |
| imbecile | Pelo: stupid question i know but where is theme manager? | 02:52 |
| jp-mocs | linxeh: did a compleat reinstall... so nothing (should have) copied over | 02:53 |
| Pelo | imbecile, menu > system > prefs > appearance or right click the desktop > change wallpaper >first tab | 02:53 |
| linxeh | jp-mocs: ok, and where do you get "group not found"? can you paste smb.conf into the pastebard ? | 02:53 |
| jp-mocs | lixeh: I could if I could get to the Ubuntu machine :) | 02:54 |
| gopodge | GentleG : Do you have the correct syntax? | 02:54 |
| jp-mocs | I am IRC from the XP machine | 02:54 |
| linxeh | can you not ssh to it? | 02:54 |
| * Pelo feels jp-mocs ' pain | 02:54 | |
| jubilee | Hey Pelo, when I make, it doesn't do anything... beyond tell me that there was an error | 02:54 |
| GentleG | I can manually type in the command and have it work, but it's a long string to type over and over | 02:54 |
| Pelo | jubilee, did you run ./configure first ? did you install the missing dependencies ? | 02:55 |
| jubilee | I did sudo ./configure... | 02:55 |
| Pelo | jubilee, no sudo with ./configure, nor with make | 02:55 |
| gopodge | GentleG : But it doesn't work in your script.. | 02:55 |
| gopodge | GentleG : Do you have the script handy? | 02:56 |
| jubilee | Pelo.... I have to install the missing dep? b/c it does say there are things missing... Like aclocal, autoconf, automake, autoheader, makeinfo | 02:56 |
| jubilee | Is that the build-essential? | 02:56 |
| gandhii | what's a good linux nntp client? | 02:57 |
| GentleG | no - I can manually edit the .sh file i made and put in the particular dev (i.e. sda1) but when I try to pass the dev through the command line it doesn;t take it. I spent time looking it up online before I cam in here - all the references say that $1 should pass the first command line item through | 02:57 |
| gopodge | GentleG : To see what command is being constructed in the script.. put an echo in front of the mount line.. | 02:57 |
| GentleG | ok | 02:57 |
| Pelo | jubilee, build-essential is only the stuff that you need to perform compiling from source, dependencies are the bits that are required for a particular app to run | 02:57 |
| jubilee | Well, what are the things that I listed as missing? I don't even know what that stuff is.. | 02:58 |
| GentleG | #!/bin/bash | 02:58 |
| GentleG | echo mount ntfs-3f /dev/$1 /media/unclean -o force | 02:58 |
| gopodge | GentleG : run the script.. with your arguments .. what does it output? | 02:58 |
| GentleG | the echo output is : mount ntfs-3f /dev/ /media/unclean -o force | 02:58 |
| FluxD | GentleG: wht does that script do? | 02:59 |
| Pelo | jubilee, open synaptic and from a terminal run ./configure when you get a error that says something is missing do a search for it in synaptic, and instal it,then run ./configure again , and instll the next missing dependency from synapti, and so on until you run throught ./configure with no errors, then you run make , make creates your very own personnalised installer file, then you run sudo make install that does the actual installing | 02:59 |
| imbecile | Pelo: I've noticed alot of the downloads off gnome-look arent tar.gz and it wont let me install them. is this fixable? | 02:59 |
| jubilee | Pelo, thx! | 02:59 |
| Pelo | jubilee, but before you do any of that, check in synaptic for the app you want , much easier, next easiest is getting a .deb package from the website where yo got the soruce from | 02:59 |
| GentleG | I work in a tech shop and I have to do backups of messed up ntfs drives a lot. so this automates the force mount | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | This is weird - I have an external usb - dvd burner.. Its been burning good all day., now suddendly on the last 2 disks. its buring at 1x speed with k3b. | 03:00 |

| Pelo | imbecile, what format are they ? | 03:00 |
| imbecile | pelo rar,bz2 even zip | 03:00 |
| GentleG | on a plus note, i've talked the manager into allowing me to remove windows from my bench unit | 03:00 |
| gopodge | GentleG : Something is not right.. are you running the script like this ./script.sh <device argument> | 03:00 |
| gopodge | GentleG : ./script.sh sdb | 03:00 |
| GentleG | the command i've been using is sudo sh mountunclean.sh | 03:01 |
| GentleG | and then sda | 03:01 |
| Pelo | imbecile, looks to me like those have been repacked to includestuff like instrucitons and such, unpack once and drag drop the tar.gz from inside those to the theme manager | 03:01 |
| GentleG | and then sda1 I mean | 03:01 |

| nova | i cant seem to make ubuntu save my resolution, every time i log off or restart the resolution is back to is old way, can anyone help? | 03:03 |
| GentleG | yeah - Its echoing a blank line | 03:03 |

| jp-mocs | I had 6.06 installed in the Ubuntu... decided to reinstall from scratch to 7.10 (cause incremental upgrade sucks) | 03:03 |
| GentleG | thanks for the help - i'll try to do some more research and see if I can figure it out | 03:04 |
| jp-mocs | reconfiged 7,10 samba the same way I had done the 6.06 | 03:04 |
| Yancho | is it possible that the output of nohup is not saved anywhere .... ie send it to dev/null ? | 03:04 |
| jp-mocs | I can SEE the Ubuntu from the XP, but get a 'group not found' error when I try to connect | 03:04 |
| gopodge | GentleG : So you did something like this ... sudo sh test.sh hda1 | 03:05 |
| saywatmang | hey, im having a problem changing my next window (all windows) key setting in compiz settings manager, for some reason I can't remove or change the key, immediately after I do, something else sets it back to <Alt>Tab | 03:05 |

| _hufi_ | can anyone say me how i can use nmap to scan a view ips if there is someone available | 03:05 |
| gopodge | GentleG : Try without the sudo.. | 03:05 |
| GentleG | ok | 03:05 |
| sanzanric | recently i installed ubuntu on to a usb stick by booting in the the livecd and installing ubuntu right on to it. (it is a 4gb stick). now my grub isn't working right, i have to have the usb stick in just to get to the bootloader menu. How do i fix this? | 03:06 |
| _hufi_ | can anyone say me how i can use nmap to scan a view ips if there is someone available | 03:06 |
| _hufi_ | please ='( | 03:06 |
| saywatmang | _hufi_: man nmap | 03:06 |
| GentleG | no change - still echoing a blank line on the test script | 03:06 |
| Dr_willis | _hufi_, sudo nmap -sP IPRANGE | 03:06 |
| Dr_willis | _hufi_, i recall some front ends to nmap also. | 03:07 |
| GentleG | I was just doing the sudo because the original script required it | 03:07 |
| sanzanric | nmapfe | 03:07 |
| EdwardXP | my drive is mounted, on sda3 ... and i just deleted sda1 it has a lot og GB space.. so im mounted right now, i need to add in more space to my already mounted drive.. in the gnome partitioner' what would i need to make that possible? | 03:07 |
| jp-mocs | I have in the smb.conf a valid username and group... | 03:08 |
| saywatmang | anyone know why compizconfig settings manager would be preventing me from changingg the "next window" key shortcut? | 03:08 |
| jp-mocs | followed the docs (which on different sites are often controdictory) | 03:08 |
| EdwardXP | i don't know how to do that, (im on sda3 mounted) there's free space on another partition.. sda3 to be specific.. , i need those GB transfered to my computer im typing on | 03:09 |
| jp-mocs | wins should be on | 03:09 |
| jp-mocs | did the smbadduser | 03:09 |
| lele | hi | 03:09 |
| sanzanric | does anybody know how to reinstall grub but using a different boot partition | 03:09 |
| jp-mocs | anyone got any ideas? | 03:10 |
| gopodge | GentleG : Strange one. That script is as simple as you can get.. what about replacing $1 with $0 | 03:10 |
| jp-mocs | anyone? Buhler? | 03:11 |

| justdave | timely question, I just gave up on the Ubuntu supplied nvidia drivers (because I couldn't get X to even start with them) and installed the ones from nvidia's site (which worked) | 03:14 |
| gluonman | Okay. I've been trying and trying to install the drivers for my Logitech Quickcam Express webcam. I quite simply cannot figure the stupid thing out. Can some knowledgeable person just give me a walk-through please? | 03:14 |
| jp-mocs | sanzanric: looks pretty much like what i did | 03:14 |
| SpookyET | Is the Fedora 8 iptables firewall gui available for ubuntu? | 03:15 |
| justdave | my machine shipped with Edgy on it and nvidia's drivers installed already when I got it. I just upgraded it to Feisty and had to reinstall from nvidia's stuff to get X to work. Maybe it was just having problems trying to fix the existing config or something | 03:15 |
| sanzanric | jp-mocs, sorry, what are you trying to do, sorry i have been in this channel a couple of seconds? | 03:16 |
| justdave | which leads to why I actually came in here myself... was just upgrading said machine from Feisty to Gutsy, and the updater died in the middle of the update | 03:16 |
| lele | it was the first installation | 03:16 |
| justdave | no clue why it died, I just noticed the noise from the hard drive stopped, and I looked up and the window was gone | 03:16 |
| justdave | and picking the updater off the menu didn't do anything | 03:16 |
| justdave | Tried to run Synaptic and it told me dpkg was interrupted and run it from the command line to fix | 03:17 |
| lele | and after i'd try to install the vidia drivers but with a lot of problem with gnome | 03:17 |
| justdave | so dpkg --configure -a is doing its thing now... | 03:17 |
| justdave | but I was wondering if there's anything else I need to do besides letting dpkg finish that the updater would have done before rebooting | 03:17 |
| justdave | IIRC when I updated from Edgy to Feisty it did some other cleanup stuff after the install and configure | 03:18 |
| gluonman | Is anyone knowledgeable on installing and configuring webcams? | 03:18 |

| gavintlgold | medium? | 03:33 |
| alsadk10 | i cant understand u whats x display? | 03:33 |
| damone | iSE: does it matter? I remember there's some way like :0 or something, but I forget how to do it | 03:34 |
| gavintlgold | or does it depend on the card? | 03:34 |
| Nighthawk420 | alsadk10, ooOoOo sounds like you have a compatibility issue with your graphics card... might i ask is it an ATI card? | 03:34 |
| kenan | I have this problem when I am listening to music and once a day when I click on a new song to play, the song doesnt open and the icon for mp3 changes to a blank piece of paper and nothing on my desktop opens anymore, i cant even click the shut down button because nothing comes up, how do i fix this? | 03:34 |

| staykovmarin | hi, i was curious, is there a way to rip flac from cds? i am using k3b, to rip, and flac is not an option | 03:34 |
| staykovmarin | should i usea different app? | 03:35 |
| wols_ | staykovmarin: try grip | 03:35 |
| bazhang | staykovmarin: just need to add plugin | 03:35 |
| pianoboy3333 | staykovmarin: you can try sound-juicer | 03:35 |
| iSE | damone: Not too sure on that one, I have two display's myself, my monitor + TV, i used a custom config of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to set them up and literally just drag it across. I know some programs there is an option in their settings that asks which screen | 03:35 |
| pianoboy3333 | Hey, I only had 3 GB space left on my other hard drive and I copied all of the folders in / to another drive, its formatted, first partition is ext3, second is swap space, I can boot it but it stops loading at one point and just hangs, help please? What could I possibly have to fix after copying this? I already changed grub to point to the first partition, since on the old drive the partition I was booting off of was the second one... | 03:35 |
| gavintlgold | kenan: try control-alt-backspace next time that happens, and you may not have to restart at least | 03:35 |
| jp-mocs | ok.. system-config-samba requires x server, and I am running a plain old lamp server... so... (and this is a total dumb question) how do I install the x server? | 03:35 |
| GreySim | Does anyone know how to get a list of open windows via a console command? Or some way to getting that info programatically? I'm pretty sure there is, but I don't remember what, and I can't seem to search for the right thing. | 03:35 |
| damone | iSE: I'm trying to figure out how to make the display from my SSH terminal to show up on my server's monitor :/ | 03:36 |
| kenan | well i dont want to have to do that all the time, im just looking for a permanent solution so evernything doesnt randomly stop opening | 03:36 |
| gavintlgold | GreySim: might it have something to do with xprop? | 03:36 |
| iSE | pianoboy3333: it doesnt work like that, the install specifies the partition it's installed upon. You'll need to change the settings of grub, to get it to boot from the other partition | 03:36 |
| pianoboy3333 | iSE: I did, I changed all that to (0,0) instead of (0,1) that it was at | 03:37 |
| iSE | pianoboy3333: my apologies on the grub settings, misread what u said. But I know the partition address is located in the install, so its trying to load things from the original partition. I had the same problem and is why i can't reload windows after i messed around splitting a partition | 03:37 |
| kenan | is there a way to get personal messages in Pidgin just like how it is in MSN? | 03:37 |

| pianoboy3333 | Wargasm: I let it hang for 20 just to make sure then some debian console popped up | 03:38 |

| panicbyte | Hey, I need a book recommendation, I ordered one of those Ubuntu Dells for someone who has never used a computer in their life (i figured ubuntu will give them less problems, and if i have to, i can install WinXP instead of Vista), does anyone have any recommendation for a book for them? | 03:39 |
| panicbyte | I was thinking about the official ubuntu book | 03:39 |
| iSE | damone: im sure there is a way you can add a command line | 03:39 |
| alsadk10 | its trident cyberblade i1 agp | 03:39 |
| iSE | damone: as to what it is i'm not sure, have you tried the manpages of X11? | 03:39 |
| bazhang | panicbyte: the official book would be a good starter imo | 03:39 |

| alsadk10 | i cant understand u whats x display? | 03:40 |
| iSE | pianoboy3333: there may be a way to edit it manually, you'll have to figure out how the ubuntu install stores the partition it's loading from and change it, there will prob be a config file somewhere im sure of it, but as to what it is, or how to use it, im afraid i cant help | 03:41 |

| pianoboy3333 | iSE: yea I know, my friend tried doing that with windows and his borked cause windows installed crap everywhere and is messy like that, but I thought with linux I could just copy it | 03:43 |

| suttin | hey guys, i just installed xubuntu, and installed rhythmbox from synaptic, and i was wondering if there was a way to use the multimedia buttons on my keyboard. i know i was able to do it on a vanilla ubuntu install, but it came like that. anyone know what i can do? | 03:47 |
| pianoboy3333 | I copied all of the folders in / to another drive, its formatted properly, I can boot it but it and get to the gui, but it stops loading at one point and just hangs, help please? | 03:48 |
| panicbyte | bazhang: gotta go, thanks for the advice | 03:48 |

| iSE | kitche: well i changed audio.device.alsa_front_device:default to audio.device.alsa_front_device:plughw:ICH5, Kaffein now plays through the correct soundcard but Totem doesnt? | 03:48 |
| iSE | kitche: that was in ~/.xine config file | 03:48 |

| Zombie | I have an Ubuntu DVD but I do not want to format and repartition. | 03:50 |
| kitche | Zombie: boot into Fiesty and run update-manager fresh it and it will let you upgrade to gutsy | 03:50 |
| Zombie | I know, but I'd like it to use my DVD. | 03:50 |
| Wargasm | why lol | 03:51 |
| sexcopter | hi, sorry if slightly off topic, but does anyone know any good online canadian for buying pc components? | 03:51 |
| bazhang | Zombie: then you need to format | 03:51 |
| nickrud | doesn't inserting the dvd initiate an upgrade? | 03:51 |
| iSE | bazhang, Zombie: there is an option in Synaptic to use a cd-rom repo? | 03:51 |
| Zombie | the online upgrade process is bandwidth intensive. | 03:52 |
| bazhang | iSE: the live or the alternate | 03:52 |
| suttin | Zombie: isnt there an upgrade option when the cd first boots | 03:52 |
| Zombie | No. | 03:52 |
| bazhang | Zombie: try the alternate cd for that | 03:52 |
| alsadk10 | i have win me & want to instal ubuntu with it ? | 03:53 |
| iSE | bazhang: Well i installed using the live cd, and in synaptic in the repo settings, theres an option to use the cd-rom, im assuming the same will be there in Zombie's Synaptic repo settings, and so can load the updated files from the DVD | 03:53 |
| kenan | Is there a way where more than one application can access the sound card. It would be great if I can have mp3's playing but I can also hear sound coming from somewhere else like youtube or something | 03:53 |

| pianoboy3333 | iSE: yea, if you add the cd as repos you can upgrade that way | 03:56 |

| bazhang | iSE: I would think no, though the alternate cd does provide that option; Zombie is welcome to try though :} | 03:57 |
| Walter | pianoboy333 is correct you can do it in that way | 03:57 |

| iSE | Zombie: Open Synaptic Package manager from System > Administration. Goto Settings > Repositories, then click the third party software tab, and then the button "Add CD-Rom". You'll need to insert the Gutsy DVD at this point. Hopefully that should work for you, though a lot will have been updated since that CD was released | 03:59 |

| justdave | hmm, okay I rebooted a second time and I have sound after rebooting | 04:11 |
| Wargasm | ok maybe its fine then | 04:11 |
| Wargasm | but you could still check | 04:11 |
| Wargasm | might be other drivers | 04:11 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, okay. All set | 04:11 |
| vetetix | robdig, yes, the proxy settings for the system are ok | 04:11 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: ok now select | 04:11 |
| desertc | justdave: A lot of times, the sound volume is at 0 or muted. | 04:11 |
| justdave | only thing listed in restricted drivers is the nvidia card | 04:11 |
| robdig | vetetix: System->Preferences->Network Proxy | 04:12 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, Okay. | 04:12 |
| pianoboy3333 | scroll down to the module with the arrow keys | 04:12 |
| desertc | justdave: check ALL your volume levels in the gnome volume applet | 04:12 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: then select it with space bar | 04:12 |
| pedro__ | Hi there | 04:12 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, module with arrow keys? | 04:12 |
| justdave | desertc: it's working now. :) you missed where I said rebooting fixed it | 04:12 |
| Xacarith | Any one able to help with Grub? | 04:12 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, oh. I misread your sentence. | 04:12 |
| vetetix | robdig, yes, the proxy settings are ok there, they work with other programs | 04:12 |
| desertc | justdave: I saw that. Letting you know for future reference. | 04:12 |
| justdave | ah, okay | 04:12 |

| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: no not that | 04:13 |
| Wargasm | i want a cheap linux laptop | 04:13 |
| robdig | vetetix: ok, found a bug...so i think this is it...looks like a fix in progress https://bugs.launchpad.net/evolution-exchange/+bug/52654 | 04:13 |
| pedro__ | I am an absolute newcomer here, I dont know even if I can make a question directly here | 04:13 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: it should be the quick cam module it should be there if you installed that source package | 04:13 |
| starryeyedboy | Wargasm: lenovo =D | 04:13 |
| bazhang | desertc: yeah, and the new cloudbook as well :} | 04:13 |
| pedro__ | any one can help me? | 04:13 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, okay. Let me look for it. | 04:13 |
| desertc | IMHO, having Walmart selling cheap Linux PCs with support is better than Dell selling them with optional support. | 04:13 |
| Wargasm | how much can i get one with like a gb of ram? | 04:13 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, found it. | 04:13 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, I selected it. | 04:14 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: ok good, select it, then hit tab and select ok | 04:14 |
| justdave | heh, fonts look horrible in MythTV now. | 04:14 |
| justdave | I'm using a third-party theme, bet the theme needs an upgrade | 04:14 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, I did that by simply pushing enter. | 04:14 |
| pedro__ | should I go to another channel or something? | 04:14 |
| desertc | Wargasm: Walmart is rumored to be selling $300 Linux laptops by the same company soon! | 04:14 |
| Wargasm | awesome | 04:14 |
| Wargasm | thats pretty good | 04:14 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: alright, now hit build, and it should compile, and then install, and it should install, and you should then be good, tell me when its done | 04:14 |
| desertc | Getting cheap computers sold with Linux is going to be HUGE for getting more commercial companies supporting Linux OS. | 04:14 |
| pedro__ | anybody can help me... | 04:14 |
| pedro__ | please | 04:14 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, okay. Thanks. Where were you a week ago? lol | 04:15 |

| pedro__ | thank you very much! | 04:15 |
| damaltor | lol... | 04:15 |
| bazhang | ask away pedro__ | 04:15 |
| pedro__ | everyone | 04:15 |
| desertc | Please recommend computers with Linux preinstalled and supported to all your friends and family, instead of trying to jury-rig an Ubuntu install on hardware that might not work well and with no support. | 04:15 |
| pedro__ | should be easy for all of you | 04:15 |

| pedro__ | working very well | 04:16 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: yea that's the thing people think they can just install the source.... its kinda misleading and there's nothign anywhere saying "use module assistant" if you're not used to it | 04:16 |
| desertc | !enter | 04:16 |

| desertc | !dvd | pedro__ | 04:17 |
| ubotu | pedro__: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 04:17 |
| desertc | pedro__: These are encrypted DVDs, right? | 04:17 |
| pedro__ | no wait, is another thing, going to put it in one line | 04:17 |
| bazhang | pedro__: you need to get the package from medibuntu.org called libdvdcss2--instructions are on the site | 04:17 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, yeah. I've never used this before. But it's installing now. | 04:17 |
| desertc | Record and share your own *unencrypted* DVDs. I found these Ubuntu instructions on a website: http://www.linuxgamingworld.com/2007/12/recording-a-dvd-of-your-own | 04:18 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: that's good | 04:18 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, it finished installing. | 04:18 |
| pawan | hi | 04:18 |
| desertc | !hi | pawan | 04:18 |
| ubotu | pawan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 04:18 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: ok, good now exit the program, I dunno its like back and then exit on the next screen | 04:18 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: just so the program quits | 04:18 |
| pawan | any new release | 04:19 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, okay. | 04:19 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: ok, now type "gksudo gedit /etc/modules" | 04:19 |
| bazhang | yes pawan though just an alpha | 04:19 |
| WGGMk | How would I set a rule (if possible) to force all http traffic to a specific port (for DansGuardian) using IPtables in Webmin | 04:19 |
| pawan | which one | 04:19 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, okay. | 04:19 |
| bazhang | pawan: hardy heron | 04:20 |
| pawan | how to download it | 04:20 |
| bazhang | !hardy | 04:20 |
| ubotu | Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 04:20 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: now, I'm not sure the name of the module... I think its quickcam-messenger | 04:20 |
| pedro__ | played with totem, plays well just one chapter, NOTE: sounds perfect. I wanted to see the complete dvd and interact with menus, so I tried gxine, didnt work from a directory and then I installed ogle, it tried to open but didnt, then I tried with kaffeine, it opened very well, but no sound, thought first that it was kaffeine, but then I reboot and the drum sound from the logn page of ubuntu didnt came! then I have no sound at all, nor from audacious nor a | 04:20 |
| pedro__ | ny other app... what could happened? | 04:20 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: so try adding "quickcam-messenger" to the end of the list | 04:20 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, okay. | 04:20 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, done. | 04:20 |
| desertc | pedro__: It only plays one chapter because the dvdnav package is not installed. | 04:20 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: exit gedit... then try "sudo modprobe quickcam-messenger" | 04:21 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, and saved. | 04:21 |
| pedro__ | ok, but the problem is not with the dvd, is with my box's sound | 04:21 |
| pedro__ | it has no sound at all | 04:21 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, mobprobe = command not found. | 04:21 |
| pedro__ | and used to have | 04:21 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: oh sorry its modprobe, just a typo | 04:21 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, oh. haha | 04:21 |
| tumbleweed__ | pedro__ : have you restarted yet? | 04:21 |
| pedro__ | yep twice | 04:22 |
| tumbleweed__ | hmmm | 04:22 |
| pawan | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS | 04:22 |
| pedro__ | now it has no sound | 04:22 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, okay. It seems to have worked. | 04:22 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: good | 04:22 |
| n_o_O_b | Guyz I can't execute bootlilo.sh. Anybody messed with? | 04:22 |
| pedro__ | I think it has to do with ogle or gxine or kaffeine | 04:22 |
| bazhang | pawan: that is the one | 04:22 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, anything after that? Or do I just test it now? | 04:22 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: install the program camorama "sudo apt-get install camorama" | 04:22 |
| pawan | in april | 04:22 |
| desertc | pedro__: Try this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930 | 04:22 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, already have camorama. | 04:22 |

| WGGMk | How would I set a rule (if possible) to force all http traffic to a specific port (for DansGuardian) using IPtables in Webmin | 04:24 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, okay. | 04:24 |
| pianoboy3333 | gluonman: make sure the camera is connected directly to the computer and not through a usb-hub or like a usb slot on your monitor | 04:24 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, it's connected via USB to the back of the computer. | 04:25 |
| pianoboy3333 | ok good | 04:25 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, same error. | 04:25 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, might a restart work? | 04:25 |

| p34r | catron: the external harddrive won't be recognized on the windows machine? | 04:46 |
| BarryToeman | paloma: not for gutsy, but might work | 04:46 |
| catron | It will be recognized on windows, not ubuntu 7.10 | 04:46 |
| Al00 | catron -- run an FTP server on your windows box. FTP to it from your Linux box and upload the file that way | 04:46 |
| linrunix | p34r, if you're not logged as root u will need sudo | 04:46 |
| Dr_willis | Al00, i think you may have to use the uid/gid options, Not sure the 'username' works. | 04:46 |
| catron | okay | 04:46 |
| Dr_willis | Al00, also the 'user' option lets the users mount/unmount filesystems. | 04:46 |
| paloma | i'll see barrytoeman | 04:46 |
| grout_ | will gutsy run ok on 256 megs of ram? | 04:46 |
| p34r | linrunix: ah i see | 04:47 |
| Al00 | Dr_willis : how do I find my uid/gid? *embarassed look* | 04:47 |
| Dr_willis | Al00, the default initial user is uid 1000 i belive and goes up from there. | 04:47 |
| IcemanV9 | grout_: yes | 04:47 |
| kelsin | grout_: a command line system sure, and most gui's should run fine. Obviously you won't be able to run a system with every bull and wistle installed | 04:47 |
| thenetduck | Where should I compile tomboy notes? I am a bit confused on thsi | 04:47 |
| Dr_willis | Al00, ya can do echo $UID | 04:47 |
| BarryToeman | grout_: but probably slowly unless you do a custom install. | 04:47 |
| gluonman | pianoboy3333, spca5xx seemed to install fine. But can you help me figure out how to find gspc-source? | 04:47 |
| kiersie | is there an standart language for this channel? | 04:47 |
| Hirvinen | grout_: Yes. You'll probably want to use Xubuntu or Fluxbuntu, as they are a bit more lightweight. | 04:47 |
| BarryToeman | grout_: like not using Gnome and using Openbox or something instead | 04:48 |
| kelsin | grout_: I would start with a command line system, and just add on things you need | 04:48 |
| Dr_willis | Al00, there may be other better ways. :) your line with the noauto does not mount the filesystem at all. and using defaults and extra options.. is a little.. weird. :) | 04:48 |

| kiersie | should it be then not be #ubuntu-en ? | 04:49 |
| Al00 | Dr_willis: I don't really know what I'm doing. I've read the man for mount and fstab. I just want to be able to mount that device (via my .profile) when I login so that the mount is not system wide but ONLY I can do it. | 04:49 |

| zetheroo | dpupp: if you have one of the newer ATI cards you should use the fglrx driver in Ubuntu Synaptic together with the xgl-server package for effects | 05:11 |
| === joko is now known as sperm | ||
| Montoya | anyone here have a dell inspiron 5150? | 05:11 |
| nickrud | lammy, open the trash icon and pull them out | 05:12 |
| BarryToeman | lammy: did you "Empty Trash"? | 05:12 |
| zetheroo | dpupp: if you have the older ATI cards you should be able to do everything with the open source ati or radeon drivers | 05:12 |
| IcemanV9 | slayer_: geany | 05:12 |
| lammy | :nickrud: ^^ - after i sad "emty trash" ... | 05:12 |
| nickrud | lammy, no, they're gone then, same as windows | 05:12 |
| Wargasm | is ext3 the best file system for linux? | 05:13 |
| Montoya | can someone help me set up ndiswrapper for my machine? | 05:13 |
| nickrud | Wargasm, best general purpose | 05:13 |
| Wargasm | ok | 05:13 |
| Cpudan80 | vasilisa: Yes, smb://ip-of-other-machine | 05:13 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: what wifi device? | 05:13 |
| Wargasm | good enough for me then | 05:13 |
| Montoya | not wifi, ethernet | 05:13 |
| Skrypt | I'm using a LiveCD and am trying to copy files from one of my hard drives to my external hard drive but am getting a permissions error. What can I do? | 05:13 |
| lammy | nickrud: but isn't there a possibility to undelete them like the command undelete under dos ...!? | 05:13 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: so what do you need help with? | 05:13 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I think my wifi works, but my ethernet doesn't | 05:13 |
| slayer_ | thanks, geany looks like what I am looking for. code completion = teh win | 05:13 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: you THINK your wifi works?? | 05:14 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Network Manager shows it's connecting, but then I don't get any internet | 05:14 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I can't test it, but it picks up networks | 05:14 |
| BarryToeman | Wargasm: depends on what you are doing and your hardware, but ususally ext3 is great | 05:14 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: your wifi or ethernet? | 05:14 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I don't have my own network that I can play with | 05:14 |
| Montoya | my wifi picks up networks | 05:14 |
| Wargasm | yeah i was just wondering if i chose the correct file system, i figured ext3 was the best though | 05:14 |
| nickrud | lammy, not really, there's e2undel but it's of limited utility. | 05:14 |
| Montoya | is it possible that when wifi is running, the wired connection won't work? | 05:14 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: so what are you trying to connect to if you don't have a metwork? | 05:15 |
| Montoya | I'm trying to connect to my modem with my ethernet cable | 05:15 |
| Montoya | my desktop can use it but my laptop can't | 05:15 |
| Wargasm | usually youd want a router between the modem and your pc | 05:15 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: ok... is your ethernet device installed ? | 05:15 |
| atrus | lammy: i've had reasonably good luck with ext3rminator for undeleting on ext3 partitions. | 05:15 |
| nickrud | Montoya, yes, network manager can only handle one connection at a time (or last time I read up, just before gutsy release) | 05:16 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Yes, as far as I can tell, I installed drivers for it and it shows up in Network Manager, it even says it's connecting | 05:16 |
| Montoya | nickrud: Oh! How do I turn off wireless then??? | 05:16 |
| Wargasm | so then youd have to disable wifi to use ethernet right | 05:16 |
| Montoya | yes please, how!?? | 05:16 |
| nickrud | Montoya, right click the network applet, turn off wireless. | 05:16 |
| BarryToeman | lammy: might find something good here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 05:16 |
| lammy | nickrud, atus: ah ok - thanks, i try it ... | 05:16 |
| Wargasm | right click the wireless bars, click the checkbox | 05:16 |
| Skrypt | I'm using a LiveCD and am trying to copy files from one of my hard drives to my external hard drive but am getting "You do not have permissions to write to this folder." | 05:16 |
| Montoya | ok brb everyone, let me see what happens | 05:16 |
| Wargasm | ok | 05:16 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: I am wondering why you had to install the drivers for your ethernet device at all | 05:17 |
| Wargasm | good luck | 05:17 |
| slayer_ | speaking of wireless, what is the best way to get WPA support | 05:17 |
| lammy | BarryToeman: : thx | 05:17 |
| Skrypt | Anyone think they can help? | 05:17 |
| nickrud | atrus, hadn't heard of that one, thatnks | 05:17 |
| Wargasm | same here zetheroo , i didnt have to do anything to ethernet... | 05:17 |
| Skrypt | I've tried chmod and chown | 05:17 |
| nicely | can anyone help me figure out why my computer plays all movies in black and white? | 05:17 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: why are you turning off your wifi | 05:17 |
| Wargasm | so he can use ethernet | 05:17 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm: yeah..... | 05:17 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm: they can both be on though | 05:17 |
| Wargasm | someone said only one can be used at a time, lmao | 05:18 |
| wy | Is there a way to let loose of all applets on a panel? It's really a pain to arrange them | 05:18 |
| IcemanV9 | nicely: because it is black and white movie? | 05:18 |
| Wargasm | you can remove them i think wy | 05:18 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm: the one will automatically disconnect the other when it connects | 05:18 |
| nicely | no its Superbad | 05:18 |
| nicely | it does it regarldess of player | 05:18 |
| wy | I just want to make them move | 05:18 |
| slayer_ | codecs probably | 05:18 |
| brand0con | how do i automatically mount a fat32 disk on boot | 05:18 |
| nicely | why would they be black and white.. | 05:18 |
| Cpudan80 | brand0con: edit /etc/fstab | 05:18 |
| zetheroo | Montoya.... you still there? | 05:19 |
| wy | but they are locked originally and I have to right click and choose unlock. move them and lock them back... | 05:19 |
| Wargasm | no he disabled wifi | 05:19 |
| Wargasm | lost connection | 05:19 |
| Montoya | hello everyone, that didn't work :( | 05:19 |
| Wargasm | yeah hey welcome back | 05:19 |
| Wargasm | so whats wrong with your ethernet | 05:19 |
| Wargasm | it should work without any config | 05:19 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: don't worry abotu it | 05:19 |
| Montoya | is it possible that my cable modem just sucks? | 05:20 |
| Wargasm | yeh | 05:20 |
| gogeta | lol what mintoya | 05:20 |
| Wargasm | Montoya, i couldnt get my cable modem to work without using a router | 05:20 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: well are you certain that your modem is set up correctly? | 05:20 |
| gogeta | ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh | 05:20 |
| gogeta | easy | 05:20 |
| gogeta | power cycle it | 05:20 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: and are you certain that it is connecting to the internet? | 05:20 |
| Montoya | hello everyone, my ethernet still did not work :( | 05:20 |
| gogeta | montoya fresh installs youned to power cycle cable modems | 05:20 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: what device are you using? | 05:21 |
| Skrypt | I'm using a LiveCD and am trying to copy files from one of my hard drives to my external hard drive but am getting "You do not have permissions to write to this folder." chmod +x and chown -R haven't worked :/ Help? | 05:21 |
| Montoya | it's a broadcom 4400 baset | 05:21 |
| flamsmark | hey | 05:21 |
| lockd | Skrypt: well, chmodding +x does nothing for write | 05:21 |
| gogeta | skrytu try doing it under sudo | 05:21 |
| slayer_ | skrpt -> what is the format of the external drive? | 05:21 |
| Skrypt | ntfs | 05:21 |
| slayer_ | ntfs? | 05:21 |
| Wargasm | hey Montoya have you checked your restricted drivers yet? | 05:21 |
| Montoya | yeah, i enabled the driver for broadcom | 05:22 |
| Wargasm | ok | 05:22 |
| Wargasm | everythings green there then right | 05:22 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: what the modem device? | 05:22 |
| gogeta | monotoya power cycle modem!! | 05:22 |
| slayer_ | I don't think linux likes writing to ntfs.. you may need a special utility. normally it is read only | 05:22 |
| Wargasm | id try power cycling too | 05:22 |
| Montoya | webstar | 05:22 |
| Montoya | how do I power cycle? | 05:22 |
| flamsmark | when i boot up a new install of ubuntu server 7.04, it hangs at "* Running local boot scripts (/etx/rc.local) [OK]" | 05:22 |
| gogeta | it should come up them | 05:22 |
| Wargasm | hey Montoya, you in a dorm? | 05:22 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: please be more specific | 05:22 |
| Montoya | no, I have an apartment | 05:23 |
| Wargasm | oh | 05:23 |
| gogeta | montoya unplug modem wait abought 10 20 sec plug back in | 05:23 |
| Skrypt | lockd, ntfs 3.1. do I need ntfs-3g? | 05:23 |
| Montoya | i can't be much more specific, it's Cox cable Scientific Atlanta Webstar | 05:23 |
| Montoya | I'll try power cycling, brb | 05:23 |
| nickrud | flamsmark, try hitting return at that screen, do you get a login? | 05:23 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: do you know your modem? have you used it before? are you familiar with how to tell if it has made a successfull connection to the ISP? | 05:23 |
| gogeta | montoya it refreseh the modems ip and macadrees witch change on a linux install | 05:23 |
| flamsmark | yes, cheers | 05:23 |
| Gnea | Montoya: power cycling is powering the system off, waiting 10 seconds, then plugging it back in. | 05:24 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: it works just fine with my desktop | 05:24 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: good to know | 05:24 |
| gogeta | lol not system modem | 05:24 |
| zetheroo | before you power cycle | 05:24 |
| Wargasm | Montoya, check your PM | 05:24 |
| zetheroo | ... | 05:24 |
| gogeta | but off system can help | 05:24 |
| Montoya | PM? I see no PMs | 05:24 |
| === Johnny_5 is now known as Johnny5_on | ||
| flamsmark | nickrud, can i install an x system on it? | 05:24 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: can you plug it into the desktop and see if its working? | 05:24 |
| === Johnny5_on is now known as Johnny_5_on_leav | ||
| Montoya | we are talking about my cable modem, right? because that's what I'm using to talk to you guys | 05:24 |
| Wargasm | guys, i have a webstar cable modem and it will not work without a router. | 05:25 |
| nickrud | flamsmark, yes, sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg <your favorite desktop> | 05:25 |
| gogeta | i have had this issue and so do many of my frends it fixes it almost everytime | 05:25 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: wait with the whole power cycle thing | 05:25 |
| Montoya | Wargasm, seriously? so I probably need to go buy a router | 05:25 |
| Wargasm | yes | 05:25 |
| Gnea | Montoya: the cable modem.. it has a power cord which provides an electrical current to it, yes? | 05:25 |
| Wargasm | buy a router because it wouldnt work without one for me | 05:25 |
| lockd | Skrypt: you need ntfs-3g to write too, forgot about that | 05:25 |
| gogeta | wargasm same thing power cycle | 05:25 |
| Montoya | Gnea: yes, no wireless power yet | 05:25 |
| Wargasm | i tried for a whole day to get it to work | 05:25 |
| Skrypt | lockd, can i do that on a live cd? | 05:25 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: can you give me the model number of the device... the modem | 05:25 |
| Gnea | Montoya: sorry, i came in a little late, so i missed the original problem.. | 05:26 |
| Wargasm | Montoya, check your PM on here | 05:26 |
| flamsmark | cheers, nickrud | 05:26 |
| nickrud | Wargasm, how do you connect with your desktop? Windows? | 05:26 |
| gogeta | when you change your system like no roughter new os and so on cable modems need to be power cycled | 05:26 |
| Wargasm | yes windows | 05:26 |
| Eagleguy125 | I'm having problems with installation. Anyone know much about that? | 05:26 |
| Montoya | I swear, I see no PMs here | 05:26 |
| Wargasm | oh ok sorry | 05:26 |
| lockd | Skrypt: I have no idea, but I'm fairly sure not - which limits a livecd's use for rescuing a system | 05:26 |
| Gnea | he's not registered, so he can't PM | 05:26 |
| Wargasm | ah thats why | 05:26 |
| Montoya | who wanted my model number? | 05:26 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: I am seriously trying to work you through a systematic 1-2-3 process of elimination here.... would help if you kept up.... | 05:26 |
| Montoya | ok zetheroo, I have DPC2100R2 | 05:27 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: I am trying to get your modem model number | 05:27 |
| nickrud | Wargasm, ignore me, listen to zetheroo | 05:27 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: thanks | 05:27 |
| Montoya | do you need s/n or mac? | 05:27 |
| Wargasm | zetheroo, i have a webstar cable modem and it wont work for me without a router | 05:27 |
| CoasterMaster | What is a good program for converting between video formats under Linux? | 05:27 |
| Gnea | CoasterMaster: ffmpeg, avidemux | 05:27 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm: have you read the documantation on it? | 05:27 |
| gogeta | avisynt | 05:27 |
| Wargasm | i didnt get any documentation | 05:27 |
| Wargasm | so no | 05:27 |
| gogeta | avisynth | 05:28 |
| gogeta | wargasm power cycle | 05:28 |
| Wargasm | but if he can find his documentation maybe he will figure out how to use it | 05:28 |
| Wargasm | gogeta, i tried power cycle 50 times | 05:28 |
| Wargasm | doesnt do anything | 05:28 |
| gogeta | humm | 05:28 |
| Wargasm | plug it into a linksys router and it works right away | 05:28 |
| gogeta | it dsl? | 05:28 |
| Wargasm | its cable | 05:28 |
| Wargasm | cox | 05:29 |
| gogeta | you did it and whent into linux correct | 05:29 |
| Gnea | gogeta: what's that? i don't see it in an apt-cache search list. | 05:29 |
| Wargasm | yep it works fine in linux too | 05:29 |
| Wargasm | with a router | 05:29 |
| SuT3 | #ambon | 05:29 |
| Wargasm | but i havent tried without | 05:29 |
| Montoya | Wargasm: can you recommend me a cheap router? | 05:29 |
| Wargasm | linksys is all ive used | 05:29 |
| Wargasm | you can get them for $50 | 05:29 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm: you know that sounds like the modem has been told to not perform the DHCP service! | 05:30 |
| Skrypt | lockd, if I formet the ntfs external to ext3, problem solved, right? | 05:30 |
| Skrypt | format* | 05:30 |
| Wargasm | it could be, zetheroo | 05:30 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm: you have to go inside and enable it | 05:30 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: that would make sense. I did the DHCP request and got no OFFERS | 05:30 |
| lockd | Skrypt: oh, you don't care about the files on it? | 05:30 |
| Wargasm | yeah i dont know how to config it though zetheroo | 05:30 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm: have you ever tried to access the admin of the device? | 05:30 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: i don't know if an admin exists | 05:30 |
| Wargasm | nope i dont know how zetheroo | 05:30 |
| Wargasm | there's nothing on the outside of the modem that tells you how | 05:31 |
| Skrypt | lockd, I don't care about the files on the external | 05:31 |
| Wargasm | and i didnt get any documentation | 05:31 |
| Skrypt | I care about getting the files off my internal harddrive | 05:31 |
| gogeta | wargasm you do the cycle off the roughter | 05:31 |
| lockd | gogeta: no, that's been rehashed and resaid, and doesn't help | 05:31 |
| gogeta | or maybe its a static ip | 05:31 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm Montoya: well granted this seems to be a very off-beat device... but nevertheless there must be a administrative area on the device | 05:31 |
| Wargasm | yeah i thought so too zetheroo | 05:32 |
| Wargasm | but i have no clue as how to access it | 05:32 |
| Wargasm | so i just gave up | 05:32 |
| Wargasm | and bought a router | 05:32 |
| Skrypt | lol you see.... my brother was put in jail so now his computer is mine... well I'm locked out of it but plan to get the passwords elsewhere (ophcrack and such didn't work) | 05:32 |
| zetheroo | Montoya Wargasm: have you tried to locate the gateway of the modem and go into Firefox and enter it into the URL are? | 05:32 |
| lockd | Skrypt: then blow it away, but of course it will only work on Linux/Mac (and windows with a ton of prodding) | 05:32 |
| Montoya | how would I do that? It's worth a try | 05:32 |
| Wargasm | zetheroo, no i didnt try that | 05:32 |
| lockd | Skrypt: you blow the disk away if you don't care about his data | 05:32 |
| lockd | Skrypt: probably a good idea to "shred" it as well | 05:33 |
| Wargasm | Montoya, does your modem have any documentation? | 05:33 |
| Skrypt | I do care about his data... there's 3 terabytes here. :D | 05:33 |
| gogeta | http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/ | 05:33 |
| lockd | Skrypt: incase of framing et al | 05:33 |
| Montoya | Wargasm: I don't know, I can't find the box it came in | 05:33 |
| gogeta | sorry had wrong name for the video encoder | 05:33 |
| lockd | Skrypt: err, etc | 05:33 |
| Skrypt | lockd, yeah but a little snooping first would be nice. | 05:33 |
| Wargasm | Montoya, if you cant find that try googling webstar | 05:33 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm Montoya: well you may need to perform a hard-reset of the device and then plug it into your machine directly with the Ethernet cable | 05:33 |
| Wargasm | yeah thats another thing i forgot to try, hard reset | 05:34 |
| Wargasm | you could give that a shot, Montoya | 05:34 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm Montoya: I have tried searching for your specific units, but the resources are very slim | 05:34 |
| akorn | does anybody here know how to use dual monitors on a laptop running gutsy | 05:34 |
| * ectospasm is away: Gone sleepin'... | 05:34 | |
| zetheroo | akorn: haha... thats a fun one | 05:34 |
| lockd | Skrypt: well yeah, but nothing more can happen to him... | 05:34 |
| Montoya | zetheroo Wargasm: I found the box, all it has is a CD | 05:34 |
| Wargasm | try running the cd | 05:35 |
| Wargasm | might have a setup program | 05:35 |
| Wargasm | like linksys does | 05:35 |
| Skrypt | nope, but I can salvage our family pictures | 05:35 |
| zetheroo | akorn: arg.... can't get into it now.... but I finally just left it alone ... until Hardy comes out.... unless you have an external with the same resolution as your native screen | 05:35 |
| Skrypt | and figure out where some of his personal effects are if I can get into his e-mail | 05:35 |
| akorn | zetheroo haha yea 'im realizing that now...right now i at least have my external monitor hooked up, but even tho the restolution is set to 1024x768 (and it's only a 15 inch monitor) a lot of the screen is getting cut off | 05:35 |
| Montoya | yep I'm checking that out now | 05:35 |
| Montoya | Skrypt: did you try running a Live CD and just examining the partitions? | 05:36 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm Montoya: oh glorious CD | 05:36 |
| akorn | zetheroo ahh that might be why eh...my laptop is at 1440 x 900 so i guess the 1024 x 768 isn't good news eh? | 05:36 |
| gogeta | zetheroo i said that like 50 times to them | 05:36 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm Montoya: there has got to be a product manual in there | 05:36 |
| lockd | Skrypt: copy over stuff, you'll be able to use ext3 wherever it matters. I have an 80gb fat external, but that's just because I need to use so many windows computers | 05:36 |
| Skrypt | montoya, yes and there's much I want to save - hence needing to write to the external. | 05:36 |
| akorn | zetheroo what is Hardy?? | 05:36 |
| zetheroo | gogeta: ha.. I bet you have | 05:36 |
| cyborg_ | csare | 05:36 |
| zetheroo | akorn: hardy heron | 05:36 |
| Wargasm | zetheroo, Montoya i live in a dorm, thats how i got the modem. but they didnt give us any documentation | 05:36 |
| Skrypt | lockd, there's a really great windows driver for reading/writing ext2/3 | 05:36 |
| zetheroo | akorn: the next release of Ubuntu | 05:36 |
| gogeta | zetheroo aka power cycling | 05:36 |
| Wargasm | i like the name gutsy haha | 05:37 |
| zetheroo | gogeta: no.. we are looking in to performing a hard reset and then enabling DHCP | 05:37 |
| lockd | Skrypt: well, when you work with locked down windows machines... | 05:37 |
| akorn | zetheroo haha im still part noob | 05:37 |
| Skrypt | ah right | 05:37 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm: ahh I see | 05:37 |
| zetheroo | akorn: no worries | 05:37 |
| Wargasm | yeah thats why i gave up so quickly, its impossible to get that documentation | 05:37 |
| Wargasm | and i knew routers worked | 05:37 |
| Skrypt | well if you can, www.fs-driver.org is great. | 05:37 |
| Wargasm | because my roommate had his router on it and it worked fine all year | 05:37 |
| Wargasm | but then he moved out | 05:38 |
| Wargasm | and it stopped working | 05:38 |
| akorn | zetheroo i was planning on getting a 19 inch widescreen with the same resolution as my laptop, so that should work more easily then? | 05:38 |
| gogeta | zetheroo lol what you think a powr cycle does lol it hard resets the modem | 05:38 |
| Wargasm | no it doesnt gogeta | 05:38 |
| Wargasm | it doesnt reset the config gogeta | 05:38 |
| gogeta | zetheroo does on mine | 05:38 |
| Wargasm | it shouldnt... | 05:38 |
| lockd | it doesn't on mine either | 05:38 |
| Wargasm | it should keep it's configurations on flash memory | 05:38 |
| Wargasm | or some sort of memory | 05:38 |
| zetheroo | gogeta: ummm... hard reset actually takes place when you press a reset button on the device for a period of 4-10 seconds | 05:39 |
| gogeta | its a ols motorla | 05:39 |
| lockd | two ways to do a hard reset, one is by telneting in and the other is by holding a reset switch a set amount of time | 05:39 |
| gogeta | old | 05:39 |
| lockd | (on some linksys wireless routers) | 05:39 |
| zetheroo | gogeta: its more than just unplugging the device | 05:39 |
| MrPockets_ | the ubuntu 7.10 disk has a memory tester on it, doesn tit? | 05:39 |
| gogeta | oh you mean roughter reset | 05:39 |
| Wargasm | yeah you have to hold the reset button for a hard reset | 05:39 |
| Wargasm | power cycling wont hard reset the device | 05:39 |
| gogeta | wile 2 ways the bvuttion or unplugging for 10 muntus | 05:39 |
| Wargasm | and its a good thing too | 05:39 |
| gogeta | both make it do a full reset | 05:39 |
| Wargasm | no it doesnt gogeta | 05:39 |
| Wargasm | the configurations will stay there if the power is lost | 05:40 |
| gogeta | on my linksys yes | 05:40 |
| zetheroo | gogeta: no any device reset.... if yours resets when you unpower it then you have a defect item or a really old one | 05:40 |
| gogeta | its in the doc | 05:40 |
| gogeta | relly old | 05:40 |
| gogeta | lol | 05:40 |
| Wargasm | it should not hard reset if it loses power gogeta | 05:40 |
| Montoya | Wargasm zetheroo gogeta: I read the manual, absolutely NOTHING about admin | 05:40 |
| linrunix | i hate............. dial-up | 05:40 |
| zetheroo | gogeta: yeah ok... I had one of those a few years back | 05:40 |
| Wargasm | that sucks Montoya.... | 05:40 |
| zetheroo | MontoyaL not good | 05:40 |
| gogeta | oh | 05:40 |
| Montoya | Wargasm: What do you expect? It's a telecom company provided device. It's locked up | 05:41 |
| gogeta | if you hard reset a roughter the password 99% of the time will be admin admin | 05:41 |
| Wargasm | yeah i figured it was just all locked down too, Montoya | 05:41 |
| tyler_d | first question, how do I install a downloaded theme from gnome-look.org? already tried a few diff methods in the posts with no luck :( | 05:41 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: honestly I suggest selling that device for whatever you can get and then purchase a decent unit | 05:41 |
| Wargasm | or get a linksys wireless G router | 05:41 |
| Wargasm | that fixed everything for me | 05:41 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Yeah but I don't know what will work with my connection, so I prefer to just get a router | 05:41 |
| Montoya | plus I'm moving soon, that will require a new plan witha different company and a new router | 05:42 |
| linrunix | so wait Montoya | 05:42 |
| Wargasm | yeah, Montoya id def. go with the router then | 05:42 |
| tyler_d | second, I have downloaded the real vnc pro viewer, but have no clue how to install it | 05:42 |
| Montoya | telecoms in the US suck, I'm always having problems like this | 05:42 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm Montoya: I think you could still get in.... if you get ahold of the gateway | 05:42 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: How do I do that? | 05:42 |
| Wargasm | you can try that but, good luck. | 05:42 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: you said it works on your desktop fine! right? | 05:42 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Yes, I'm using it now! | 05:43 |
| gogeta | lol | 05:43 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: well there you go.... its working fine wiothout a router | 05:43 |
| Wargasm | hmmm | 05:43 |
| lcphr3ak | Hello, I've made a batch script, and would like to run it without having to go into the terminal. I can do it by double clicking in the GUI, but it keeps asking me if I want to run it. Is there a specific extension that will bypass this. Like a "script" extension? Or is there a file property I can set? | 05:43 |
| gogeta | lemmie guess | 05:43 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: so that proves that its not the device | 05:43 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: yes, I'm puzzled by that. It works fine for WINDOWS VISTA and UBUNTU AMD-64 | 05:43 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: process of elimination my friend | 05:43 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: so,..... here we go... | 05:44 |
| gogeta | told ya cyckling the modem works everytime | 05:44 |
| preet | hi anyone there? | 05:44 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: can you get into the status of your present connection? | 05:44 |
| Strangework | when I run Compiz-Fusion, I cannot select a whole theme from Emerald. The changes only affect the upper bar, while the rest of the window corresponds to the basic Ubuntu theme. What can I do? | 05:44 |
| gogeta | roughters are another matter | 05:44 |
| linrunix | lcphr3ak, give the script permission to be execute | 05:44 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: The status... I can look at Network Connections | 05:44 |
| linrunix | right click properties | 05:44 |
| tremby | hey folks. why is there no opera browser package in gutsy? | 05:45 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: there shoudl be a little network icon in your task bar | 05:45 |
| gogeta | tremby we have firefox | 05:45 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: rightclick on it and click on status | 05:45 |
| Montoya | this newfangled Vista is confusing | 05:45 |
| tahsin | can anyone tell how to enable compiz snow effect ? ? | 05:45 |
| linrunix | lcphr3ak, permissions | 05:45 |
| gogeta | Montoya trashbin vista | 05:45 |
| tremby | gogeta: i know, but i like to use opera too sometimes, usually for testing purposes | 05:45 |
| preet | hi can someone help me? | 05:45 |
| tremby | i'm sure i'm not alone there | 05:45 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: then locate gateway | 05:45 |
| linrunix | lcphr3ak, allow execute file as program or something like that | 05:45 |
| Wargasm | i like vista | 05:45 |
| lcphr3ak | linrunix: I have, it runs fine, just wanted to make it sort of a "executable" style file. Where no prompting for Running in the terminal is needed | 05:45 |
| Wargasm | tremby, have you searched in add/remove apps? | 05:46 |
| gogeta | tremby probly have it on there site | 05:46 |
| tahsin | how do i enable compiz snow effect ? ? ? | 05:46 |
| tremby | Wargasm: i did aptitude search opera | 05:46 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: okay, wait, I'm lost... where's that? | 05:46 |
| zetheroo | I work as a private computer technician and I do not support Vista | 05:46 |
| tahsin | how do i enable compiz snow effect ? ? ? helllloooo ? | 05:46 |
| Wargasm | tremby, did you check opera.com | 05:46 |
| Wargasm | or whatever their site is | 05:46 |
| gogeta | http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=linux | 05:46 |
| Montoya | heh, you guys. I understand, but I still like Vista | 05:46 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: the network icon on your taskbar | 05:46 |
| gogeta | thers it is with debs | 05:46 |
| tahsin | Wargasm how do i enable compiz snow effect ? ? ? helllloooo ? | 05:46 |
| tremby | Wargasm: well they have binaries, but packages are nicer | 05:46 |
| lcphr3ak | linrunix: As in, i'm clicking on it through nautilus, instead of running ./script_bash in a terminal. I've already chmod +x 'ed it | 05:46 |
| anathematic | how do i find the stats of my harddrives (ubuntu server) | 05:46 |
| Wargasm | Montoya, you arent alone. I like vista too | 05:46 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: right click and go to status | 05:46 |
| gogeta | vista = suckage | 05:47 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: You have to understand, that might work for XP but not in Vista! | 05:47 |
| preet | hi when im installing linux and it boots from my cd it says running in low graphic and I choose to configure then it just freezes at the next screen saying something like /etc-local. | 05:47 |
| tahsin | vista rocks | 05:47 |
| Wargasm | tahsin, im not sure. my graphics card wont support it so i never tried! | 05:47 |
| Strangework | when I run Compiz-Fusion, I cannot select a whole theme from Emerald. The changes only affect the upper bar, while the rest of the window corresponds to the basic Ubuntu theme. What can I do? | 05:47 |
| Wargasm | vista>XP in plenty of ways | 05:47 |
| bazhang | I like what vista has done for linux adoption :} | 05:47 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: ok... well since you like Vista so much... you should know where something like the network status info is... | 05:47 |
| gogeta | if you have 8 gb of ram it might prefrerm as good as xp :) | 05:47 |
| linrunix | lcphr3ak, let me try with one script | 05:47 |
| gogeta | witrh 256mb of ram | 05:47 |
| gogeta | 8-) | 05:47 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Vista is one of those OS where you shouldn't need that sort of thing... it does that stuff for your automatically | 05:47 |
| tahsin | i hv 2 GB and it works well | 05:47 |
| zetheroo | gogeta: true true | 05:47 |
| tremby | eww vista... my housemate installed it last year and i wanted to print something in a hurry... it doesn't even come with a pdf reader | 05:47 |
| Wargasm | gogeta, all you need is 1-2gb ram | 05:47 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: So now I'm screwed cuz I can't find it :) | 05:48 |
| Wargasm | ram is cheap, gogeta | 05:48 |
| tahsin | guys plz tell me how to enable SNOW EFFECT in compiz | 05:48 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: ha.... its a retarded OS | 05:48 |
| Wargasm | tremby, download foxit reader it owns | 05:48 |
| tremby | tahsin: do you have the compiz configuration utility | 05:48 |
| gogeta | trust me my 1 gb of ram xp setup can run cricles around a 4 gb vista setup | 05:48 |
| bazhang | tahsin: ask in #compiz-fusion | 05:48 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: you should always be FULLY informed about what your computer is doing | 05:48 |
| tahsin | tremby yes i have | 05:48 |
| gogeta | and linux even worse | 05:48 |
| gogeta | lol | 05:48 |
| tahsin | tremby how do i just enable it | 05:48 |
| Wargasm | you're an idiot gogeta . | 05:48 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I'm not that kind of guy | 05:48 |
| tremby | Wargasm: oh, i don't use windows anymore. i was just trying to show how useless a clean install of vista is | 05:48 |
| gogeta | linux with compiz off flys | 05:48 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I built my own desktop but I'm not that kind of guy, seriously | 05:49 |
| tremby | tahsin: you've switched on its module already? | 05:49 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: hmmmm.... then why Linux? | 05:49 |
| Wargasm | clean installs always feel bare, tremby | 05:49 |
| tremby | Wargasm: not of ubuntu | 05:49 |
| tahsin | tremby yes | 05:49 |
| Montoya | tremby: off topic, if Windows came with a PDF reader, they'd get sued by Adobe | 05:49 |
| gogeta | linux/xp setup and when xp dies out linux only | 05:49 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: because I can't afford to buy an OS for my old laptop | 05:49 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: and I want something better than XP | 05:49 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: good reason\ | 05:49 |
| gogeta | your in the right place then | 05:49 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: If I can get the ethernet working, I'm done and good to go! | 05:50 |
| Wargasm | Ubuntu is easier to hunt apps down for | 05:50 |
| Wargasm | i like that | 05:50 |
| Wargasm | and it does come with pretty much everything you need | 05:50 |
| Wargasm | but i needed to get vlc and stuff | 05:50 |
| Wargasm | and the drivers sucked until gutsy | 05:50 |
| tremby | tahsin: then you just have to find out what the keyboard shortcut to switch it on is | 05:50 |
| tahsin | tremby i knw the keyboard shortcut but i dont think its enabled | 05:50 |
| gogeta | wargasam sudo apt-get install blabla | 05:50 |
| gogeta | lol | 05:50 |
| Strangework | when I run Compiz-Fusion, I cannot select a whole theme from Emerald. The changes only affect the upper bar, while the rest of the window corresponds to the basic Ubuntu theme. What can I do? | 05:50 |
| gogeta | easy hunting | 05:50 |
| Wargasm | i know gogeta i already said that | 05:50 |
| linrunix | lcphr3ak, it ask me too | 05:51 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: ok well now I am looking into finding the network status in Vista for you | 05:51 |
| linrunix | like u said | 05:51 |
| gogeta | die vista die | 05:51 |
| tremby | tahsin: i don't have compiz (it won't work with my tri-screen glory), so i can't tell you exactly which buttons to push. you'll just have to dig through the config until you find what you mean | 05:51 |
| Montoya | yes I'm looking too | 05:51 |
| Wargasm | everyone who isnt using mac or linux will be using Vista in a few years | 05:51 |
| lcphr3ak | linrunix: Yeah :-/, I was hoping there was a file ext that I could set to bypass that | 05:51 |
| Wargasm | wake up gogeta | 05:51 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/efa4b632-6b53-4747-9811-baeff5ba403a1033.mspx | 05:51 |
| gogeta | i shure whont | 05:52 |
| tremby | Montoya: i didn't catch the beginning of your conversation, but consider xfce (xubuntu) instead of gnome or kde -- it's much faster on slower hardware | 05:52 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: i was just there | 05:52 |
| bazhang | is this ##windows? | 05:52 |
| linrunix | lcphr3ak, sure there is a way | 05:52 |
| gogeta | upgrade to xp | 05:52 |
| Wargasm | you will, because all new pcs will come with it, gogeta | 05:52 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: look at that screenshot, there's nothing there.... | 05:52 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm: ummm.... everyone who is not using Windows Vista or Mac will be using Linux in a few years | 05:52 |
| gogeta | format c:/ | 05:52 |
| gogeta | lol | 05:52 |
| linrunix | is just that we dont know yet | 05:52 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: sucks ... huh | 05:52 |
| tremby | zetheroo: no they won't -- there are hundreds of obscure operating systems in use | 05:53 |
| nomasteryoda | guys, Ubuntu-offtopic | 05:53 |
| gogeta | vista goes bye bye | 05:53 |
| Wargasm | zetheroo, if linux had good enough driver support and better for gaming everyone would use it RIGHT NOW | 05:53 |
| zetheroo | tremby: thats true.. but Iam not talking about them | 05:53 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: it's trying to be like OSX, no need to show you numbers or data | 05:53 |
| gogeta | true | 05:53 |
| bazhang | Wargasm: take it to ##windows | 05:53 |
| lcphr3ak | linrunix: Yeah :-/, thanks for checking it out though | 05:53 |
| tremby | zetheroo: you used the word "everyone" | 05:53 |
| nomasteryoda | Wargasm, Linux has more drivers than any OS out there | 05:53 |
| HeXiLeD | hello guys. can anyone tell me if there is a rep with a pre-compiled ssl eggdrop bin ? | 05:53 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm: give it some time friend... look how far its already come | 05:53 |
| Strangework | when I run Compiz-Fusion, I cannot select a whole theme from Emerald. The changes only affect the upper bar, while the rest of the window corresponds to the basic Ubuntu theme. What can I do? | 05:53 |
| zetheroo | tremby: tsk tsk.... don't make a big issue out of it | 05:54 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Here's another idea... if I install an older version, like feisty or dapper, will that work better? | 05:54 |
| Wargasm | oh, im very pleased with linux zetheroo it finally works on this gateway laptop. it's over a year old though! :( | 05:54 |
| jrib | Strangework: take a screenshot and show us | 05:54 |
| gogeta | montoya probly not | 05:54 |
| anathematic | how do i find out the stats of a mounted harddrive? | 05:54 |
| zetheroo | Wargasm: glad to hear it | 05:54 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Because everyone says 5150 Inspiron worked without any extra stuff... but that didn't happen for me :( | 05:54 |
| Strangework | jrib: okee | 05:54 |
| gogeta | this isnt vista linux gets better with new versions | 05:54 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: maby but not certain | 05:54 |
| jrib | anathematic: what kind of stats? | 05:54 |
| zylmak | hi, i found ubuntu enought friendly to be apea;ing for non linux user | 05:54 |
| Wargasm | gogeta, vista gets better with every patch as well | 05:55 |
| Montoya | gogeta: yes but I had this offline script to do ndiswrapper automatically and it said it didn't support my kernel cuz it's too new | 05:55 |
| bazhang | zylmak: what is your question? | 05:55 |
| linrunix | Montoya, get a 1501 | 05:55 |
| Montoya | linrunix: what is that??? | 05:55 |
| brophat | what is the cd burning program called? | 05:55 |
| linrunix | it works great for me xDDD | 05:55 |
| jrib | zylmak: glad to hear that. If you have any questions about ubuntu, you can ask here | 05:55 |

| jrib | anathematic: df -h | 05:55 |
| zylmak | for the moment none, im copying file | 05:55 |
| Montoya | linrunix: do you think money grows on trees? I can't just buy another laptop because ubuntu won't work on this one! | 05:55 |
| zylmak | but will have one after | 05:55 |
| anathematic | thanks jrib | 05:56 |
| gogeta | oh it used to say visist mentel heatlh | 05:56 |
| anathematic | i | 05:56 |
| anathematic | oops~ | 05:56 |
| zetheroo | gogeta: true we should really not be discussing windows here... my bad | 05:56 |
| bazhang | offtopic guys | 05:56 |
| linrunix | Montoya, move to the Dominican Republic, here money grows on trees | 05:56 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: and I am guessing that your linux is a fresh install of Gutsy? | 05:56 |
| Wargasm | i waited like a year for ubuntu to support this laptop, Montoya haha | 05:56 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Yes | 05:56 |
| zylmak | i use crypt setup tu load /home at startup but it appear it dosent load automaticaly at start up | 05:56 |
| linrunix | Montoya, but you cant buy nothing with that kind of money | 05:56 |
| linrunix | brb | 05:56 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I've tried a bunch of stuff for the ethernet card though.... seriously, this laptop was running an old bootleg of XP a while ago and I just took the plunge and wiped it | 05:57 |
| Wargasm | lmfao | 05:58 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I had a good experience with ubuntu on my desktop and was expecting the same here.... -.- | 05:58 |
| Wargasm | i <3 bootlegged windows | 05:58 |
| gogeta | montoya i didnt ask is it wireless | 05:58 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: so we are not even certain if the ethernet device in the laptop is totally savvy? | 05:58 |

| brophat | what program should I use to burn the ubuntu iso? | 05:58 |
| jrib | brophat: on windows? | 05:58 |
| brophat | no on ubuntu | 05:58 |
| Montoya | gogeta: It's got ethernet and wireless, but I'm just trying to get the ethernet to work. It says it's working but it can't receive any packets | 05:58 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: it's old. probably not savvy at all | 05:58 |
| bazhang | brophat: right clcik open with cd/dvd creator | 05:58 |
| tremby | brophat: usually you can just right click the file and say burn to cd | 05:58 |
| nickrud | Broc8897, I just right click, select burn to disk | 05:59 |
| brophat | hmmm interesting | 05:59 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: ok... did you by any chance ever assign an IP addres manually (static ip adress) in Windows ? | 05:59 |
| * nickrud 's finger twitch is weak | 05:59 | |
| gogeta | Montoya humm a old trick i used to do on that was a. power cycle and b. disbale ipv6 | 05:59 |
| linrunix | Montoya, have you try the alternate cds | 05:59 |
| Strangework | jrib: http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/9253/screenshotti9.png | 05:59 |
| brophat | tremby mine says "write to disc" is that what you are talking about? | 05:59 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: on this laptop? I don't think so, but see, it wasn't mine, and the person before me had this at college, so I don't know how the college software f***ed up the settings | 05:59 |
| === aRyn_ is now known as aRyn | ||
| Strangework | jrib: the top bar is not 'human' geddit?? epic lols. | 05:59 |
| tremby | brophat: sounds about right, don't you think? | 05:59 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: on the desktop | 06:00 |
| jrib | Strangework: huh? you mean the buttons and stuff? | 06:00 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: did you ever manually have to configure the settings and IP addresses? | 06:00 |
| brophat | tremby i also have one that says "open wiith cd/dvd creator | 06:00 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: when I need to get the internet working on the desktop, I do diagnose & repair, and yes, I think it configures it's own IP | 06:00 |
| tremby | brophat: i imagine they'll both do what you want to do. take your pick. | 06:00 |
| brophat | alright | 06:00 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: ok.... so there is nothing wrong with the modem! | 06:00 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: yeah, I didn't think so. I think there is something wrong with my install or with the laptop... | 06:01 |
| tyler_d | help with installing themes please? | 06:01 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: if the modem is working automatically on the desktop then there is nothing wrong with it and it is working in DHCP mode | 06:01 |
| jrib | tyler_d: themes for what? | 06:01 |
| Strangework | jrib: yah, minimize, maximize, x out, etc. | 06:01 |
| timsath | whats up everyone | 06:01 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: OK, that's good to know. should I just try power cycling? | 06:01 |
| timsath | i have a question for anyone who broadcasts | 06:01 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: so what you need to focus on is the laptop device | 06:01 |
| jrib | Strangework: that 'x' is not from the human theme. It seems to be working | 06:02 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: no... don't touch the modem.... its working! | 06:02 |
| timsath | is it possible with ubuntu to record with audacity and broadcast using shoutcast with the same device? | 06:02 |
| timsath | because i can only do either/or right now | 06:02 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: what the laptop ethernet device? | 06:02 |
| Strangework | jrib: oh yah, well, the bar changed properly, but the remainder of the window is human | 06:02 |
| wease| | hello people | 06:02 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: broadcom 4401 base 100T | 06:02 |
| Strangework | jrib: how do I change it so it exactly the other theme? | 06:02 |
| timsath | hi weasel | 06:02 |
| Strangework | timsath, your name sounds familiar.. :\ | 06:03 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: ok.. and whats the laptop make and model? | 06:03 |
| timsath | thanks | 06:03 |
| tyler_d | jrib: window themes in gnome | 06:03 |
| jrib | Strangework: that is up to the gtk theme you use, not emerald. emerald only does window borders. Hit "customize" on the program you had open in the screenshot | 06:03 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: More specifically, lspci reports BCM4401 100Base-T rev 01 | 06:03 |
| timsath | you listen to electronic music? | 06:03 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Dell Inspiron 5150 | 06:03 |
| jrib | tyler_d: system -> preferences -> appearance | 06:03 |
| timsath | Strangework: I DJ online... | 06:03 |
| timsath | Strangework: maybe you've heard some of my sets | 06:03 |
| tyler_d | jrib: downloaded a few from gnome-look but cannot install them through there... package returns errors | 06:04 |

| SpudDogg | does anyone know how i can change a partition from extended to primary? | 06:04 |

| jrib | tyler_d: do not extract the tar.gz, just drag it as a tar.gz | 06:04 |

| Strangework | jrib: Only borders?? damn.. I dint know that.. hehehe. | 06:04 |
| linrunix | i think zetheroo is googling | 06:04 |
| tyler_d | jrib: yup | 06:04 |
| zetheroo | linrunix: too right you are | 06:04 |
| Strangework | timsath: nah, I am techie-retarded. sorryy :( | 06:04 |
| timsath | Strangework: it's cool...im just trying to figure this out, i'm sure it is something simple | 06:05 |
| jrib | tyler_d: then the tar.gz probably was not created correctly. Open it up and look inside | 06:05 |
| Strangework | jrib: so how do I deactivate Emerald so it is all based on the GNOME display manager | 06:05 |
| Slynderdale | Hmm, where can I get the SOAP::Lite perl module required by Konversation? | 06:05 |
| tyler_d | looks fine | 06:06 |
| Montoya | Slynderdale: CPAN | 06:06 |
| tyler_d | jrib: tried dl'ing a few times | 06:06 |
| jrib | Strangework: don't know about that if you want to keep effects. Play around in the compiz preferences, or try #compiz-fusion if no one knows here | 06:06 |
| tyler_d | jrib: extracted as a test | 06:06 |
| tyler_d | jrib: still nothing | 06:06 |
| Slynderdale | Montoya: CPAN? | 06:06 |
| jrib | tyler_d: it's not a download issue, it's a packaging issue | 06:06 |
| linrunix | Montoya, sorry i'm late... but u say u have a windows on the laptop and the ethernet works with windows? | 06:06 |
| Montoya | Slynderdale: Try perl MCPAN on the command line | 06:06 |
| linrunix | Montoya, u have dual-boot? | 06:06 |
| jrib | tyler_d: what is inside? | 06:06 |
| Montoya | linrunix: No, the laptop only has Ubuntu. My desktop has a dual boot | 06:06 |
| linrunix | Montoya, did u check the BIOS maybe theres something | 06:07 |
| Strangework | jrib: there's a channel for that? niice! imma check it out. thanks! :D | 06:07 |
| linrunix | or a BIOS upgrade | 06:07 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: have you been here and downloaded the Linux drivers for your device? http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/4401.php | 06:07 |
| Montoya | Slynderdale: all Perl modules come from: http://www.cpan.org/ | 06:07 |
| Zombie | I'm upgrading from Fiesty to Gutsy and my system has stopped at restarting HAL Daemon,. | 06:07 |
| tyler_d | jrib: ok, meaning? | 06:07 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I tried that! But I couldn't MAKE | 06:07 |
| SpudDogg | does anyone know the name of a graphical tool for setting up disks, partitions, etc? | 06:07 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: did you follow the readme? | 06:08 |
| linrunix | gparted SpudDogg | 06:08 |
| Montoya | linrunix: I guess I could do that | 06:08 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I think I did, I tried it many times | 06:08 |
| SpudDogg | linrunix: thanks man | 06:08 |
| linrunix | ok | 06:08 |
| Montoya | let me look at that again | 06:08 |
| === Ttech is now known as Bill | ||
| prakriti | is this an ok place to ask wine questions? | 06:09 |
| === Bill is now known as Bill_Gates | ||
| ivan | my run-parts doesn't show *anything* when I --test my cron.hourly, what could cause that? | 06:09 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: yes, yes, I followed the readme. It was worthless. Totally didn't make as described | 06:09 |
| TTilus | how much should i reserve for gutsy /boot partition? 20 MB? some time ago initrd used to be like 5 MB and kernel 1 MB. stille? and how much filesystem eats up from that space? | 06:09 |
| ivan | i've tried just about everything | 06:10 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: so you extracted the package and then tried to perform the make command in the folder | 06:10 |
| === Bill_Gates is now known as Ttech | ||
| Montoya | zetheroo: Yep. Tons of errors. Nothing made | 06:10 |
| ivan | weird, maybe it doesn't like my .py file | 06:10 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: what errors? | 06:10 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: This is why I was wondering if an older distro would work better | 06:10 |
| gogzmer | Hello all, I am having problems seeing a SMB network share from a recent Gutsy install off of my file server. I can see it from Windows, and the server can see itself, but I cannot see it from Ubuntu. The server is running Dapper. | 06:10 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: can you pastebin? | 06:10 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Let me retry it so I can pastebin the errors | 06:10 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: This will take some time | 06:10 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: ok | 06:11 |
| Yanick | hi, I just rebooted from a system hang (freeze), and Firefox won't display Web pages. I can ping my router, but I cannot access it via the browser, anyone can help? | 06:11 |
| Yanick | i'm using a wireless connection | 06:11 |
| Matttix | restart it? | 06:11 |
| Yanick | did that | 06:11 |
| Montoya | !pastebin | 06:11 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 06:11 |
| Forbr4d3 | ok so i changed ip addresses on a computer and now i cant ssh into it and when i restart sshd it says it cant load the rsa and dsa keys | 06:11 |
| Forbr4d3 | any clue how to fix that? | 06:11 |
| tyler_d | jrib: nm man, thanks for your help. appreciate the effort :) | 06:12 |
| jahnkeanate1 | does any one else have a problem with youtube on ubuntu 7.10 | 06:12 |
| SpudDogg | does anyone know how i can change a partition from extended to primary? | 06:12 |
| Forbr4d3 | are the rsa/dsa keys specific to ip address? | 06:12 |
| gogzmer | Anyone in here able to help figure out a network file share / SMB problem? | 06:12 |
| linrunix | Montoya, what is your card is disable on the bios? | 06:12 |
| Forbr4d3 | gogzmer: ask | 06:12 |
| linrunix | **if | 06:12 |
| jrib | tyler_d: I meant double click on it, extract it, and tell me the list of files | 06:13 |
| gogzmer | I am having problems seeing a SMB network share from a recent Gutsy install off of my file server. I can see it from Windows, and the server can see itself, but I cannot see it from Ubuntu. The server is running Dapper. Any ideas on where to start? | 06:13 |
| Montoya | linrunix: I'll check that later, doing a pastebin now | 06:13 |
| Yanick | does anyone have problems with the Broadcom microcode? I often run into system freeze, and I start to suspect that this is the problem | 06:14 |
| Slynderdale | Whats a good FTP client with a decent GUI for K/Ubuntu? | 06:14 |
| C1t1zenJ0hn | gogzmer: first thing to look at is to ensure server names are consistent, dns is working properly. you -can- ssh into this box? | 06:14 |
| _blitz_ | I have a .wmv file which is encrypted and hence i am unable to play it.what is to be done so that i can play this file? | 06:15 |
| Yanick | _blitz_ : because of DRM, you can't | 06:15 |
| LOWER_CASE | Hi, I've got some MS Access databases, some of which include forms, that I would like to migrate to something more open. Suggestions, anyone? Thanks | 06:15 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48410/ | 06:15 |
| _blitz_ | yanick : but it was a torrent ! | 06:16 |
| jahnkeanate1 | who has ubuntu 7.10 | 06:16 |
| C1t1zenJ0hn | LOWER_CASE: If they're simple databases[tables], port it over to [my]|[postgres]sl and use php for the first few iterations. | 06:16 |
| tremby | jahnkeanate1: i expect most of us do by now | 06:16 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: This one bothers me muchly: "error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory " | 06:16 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: hang on | 06:16 |
| jahnkeanate1 | k can you go to youtube | 06:17 |
| C1t1zenJ0hn | If you're more confiedent, and it's a simple access app, I might over to RoR | 06:17 |
| jahnkeanate1 | my comp freezes | 06:17 |
| Yanick | jahnkeanate1 : do you have a broadcom wireless card? | 06:17 |
| jahnkeanate1 | it might be the plugin | 06:17 |
| jahnkeanate1 | no | 06:17 |
| gogzmer | C1t1zenJ0hn: I have full access to the server, it is attached to the same monitor I am at, and connected, network-wise, through a switch. Like I said, I have no problems accessing it from Windows, but in Gutsy, the server does not even show up on the network, let alone the file shares. | 06:17 |
| jahnkeanate1 | my comp is wired | 06:17 |
| LOWER_CASE | C1t1zenJ0hn, some are just addresses, etc, one includes 1/2 dozen forms that I don't want to lose. | 06:18 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: yeah.. thats probably what tripping the whole thing up | 06:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | Can I assign any action to any key? For instance, cuold I change the "K" key to open firefox when pressed? | 06:18 |
| Yanick | I got a DELL that freezes also, and I suspect the microcode to be responsable, and I can't find any other explanation | 06:18 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: It seems like it's just plain lousy... any idea if it's looking for a common config.h on Ubuntu? | 06:18 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: I read up on that card a bit more and it seems its a real dud | 06:18 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: That's a shame :( | 06:18 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: yeah | 06:18 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: BUT.... have you a Ubuntu Feisty CD? | 06:19 |
| LOWER_CASE | Slynderdale, I use BeyondCompare in WINE! Works like a charm, you don't need to register, and you get a great comparison tool. | 06:19 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: you should try it is you have it | 06:19 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I burned my own CD, it's in the drive | 06:19 |
| gogzmer | C1t1zenJ0hn: I also cannot see shares from the Gutsy box on the server box | 06:19 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: a Ubuntu Feisty CD? | 06:19 |
| thenetduck | what does this mean?make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 06:19 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I don't know what the CD will do for me, I've tried a bunch of stuff already | 06:19 |
| C1t1zenJ0hn | gogzmder: can the gutsy machine see the wndows machine? | 06:19 |
| thenetduck | I am trying to compile a program | 06:19 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: OH feisty! I mentioned that a while ago!!! | 06:19 |
| jrib | thenetduck: what program? | 06:20 |
| gogzmer | C1t1zenJ0hn: nope | 06:20 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: what I am saying is that you should try Ubuntu Feisty instead of Gutsy | 06:20 |
| thenetduck | jrib, tomboy | 06:20 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I can burn a feisty CD, sure | 06:20 |
| Slynderdale | LOWER_CASE: Isn't beyond compare a commercial software? | 06:20 |
| thenetduck | jrib, I can't even do a "make" | 06:20 |
| jrib | thenetduck: tomboy is packaged in the repositories. Why would you compile it? | 06:20 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: But if I'm going back, why not 6.06 LTS? | 06:20 |
| jahnkeanate1 | how do i make ubuntu stop mounting a partion when i reboot | 06:20 |
| thenetduck | jrib, I want the latest version of it, it doesn't have the latest version available | 06:20 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: well look at this http://wicd.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php?id=testing | 06:20 |
| jrib | jahnkeanate1: add the "noauto" option to your fstab | 06:21 |
| thenetduck | jrib, i wanted to use checkinstall to make a .deb aswell | 06:21 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: the device was tested in Feisty and was working | 06:21 |
| LOWER_CASE | Yes, but I use it at work -- use at home is allowed under their licence. | 06:21 |
| jahnkeanate1 | ubuntu keeps mounting my windows partion | 06:21 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: OK, yeah, may as well try that then | 06:21 |
| cyborg__ | It is not possible to add files bigger than 4.0 GB: | 06:21 |
| cyborg__ | /home/cyborg/Desktop/Serenity.mkv ... (7.9GB file) the disk is dl | 06:21 |
| jahnkeanate1 | fstab? | 06:21 |
| jrib | thenetduck: that's usually not a good reason. What does the version in the repositories not do right? | 06:21 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Where can I download Feisty??? | 06:21 |
| jrib | jahnkeanate1: /etc/fstab | 06:21 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: torrent? | 06:22 |
| jrib | !fstab > jahnkeanate1 (read the private message from ubotu) | 06:22 |
| thenetduck | jrib, I want to have a plugin, Note of the day. But the current version doesn't let me have that plugin | 06:22 |
| Montoya | you mean the mirrors don't have feisty up anymore??? | 06:22 |
| jrib | !compiling > thenetduck (read the private message from ubotu) | 06:22 |
| thenetduck | jrib, I have version .8 | 06:22 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: you can even test it in the LIveCD session ... that will save you heaps of time | 06:22 |
| LOWER_CASE | Slynderdale, apart from that I have used GFTP & it's quite qood -- I've never had hassles with it. | 06:22 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i dont have that file | 06:23 |
| jrib | thenetduck: you need to read that page. Among other things, it should explain you need to do "sudo aptitude install build-essential && sudo apt-get build-dep tomboy" | 06:23 |
| thenetduck | jrib, ok thank you | 06:23 |
| Montoya | oh wow, you can find old releases here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ | 06:24 |
| jrib | thenetduck: also, pay attention to output when you run commands. They need to complete successfully before you proceed to the next step | 06:24 |
| zetheroo | Montoya.. thats great | 06:25 |
| jrib | Montoya: well, for old releases you want http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ | 06:25 |
| Montoya | ok everyone, unrelated to my prior problem: my amd_64 desktop ubuntu is F***ED, the graphics drivers seem to not be working so I can't load the graphical interface at all | 06:25 |
| jqubuntu | Who said my name before o.O | 06:25 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: man .. where ddi that come from? | 06:26 |
| Ose | Quick question: How exactly is hd(x,y) setup? Like (hd1,3) and such. | 06:26 |
| ZeeO | hey guys im having a issue with my nvidia drivers i did a fresh install of ubuntu after that i downloaded the drives from nvidias website it worked fine | 06:26 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I have no idea.... it was working yesterday, but today I tried loading the graphical display and I got this horrible error interface... I could only run safe mode | 06:26 |
| ZeeO | then i updated ubuntu and now my drivers are all messed up | 06:26 |
| jahnkeanate1 | ok | 06:27 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: thats a shame.. what card? | 06:27 |
| Anarch | I don't have `man 2 poll` on a desktop Feisty. What package am I missing? | 06:27 |
| jahnkeanate1 | would reinstalling firefox fix the youtube problem | 06:27 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: have you made any changes recently? | 06:27 |
| linrunix | Montoya, did you update your xserver-xorg | 06:27 |
| linrunix | or kernel upgrade? | 06:28 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: nvidia geforce 8600gt | 06:28 |
| linrunix | or something upgrade? | 06:28 |
| Ose | With separate partitions how would I find out the hd(1,y) number of it? | 06:28 |
| Montoya | linrunix: I think so... I always do all availalbe updates when I start Ubuntu | 06:28 |
| linrunix | Montoya, that was the problem | 06:28 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: you know you can also run the x86 version of Ubuntu on a 64 bit machine | 06:28 |
| Montoya | linrunix: Darn, I was afraid of that... | 06:28 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: is that a good idea? Is it slower? | 06:29 |
| linrunix | zetheroo, and that's the best choice | 06:29 |
| linrunix | Montoya, is the best thing you can do... | 06:29 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: honestly you will not tell the diff | 06:29 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: So, how can I go about rewriting my linux partition with a 386??? | 06:29 |
| linrunix | a least that's why i did | 06:29 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: I don't want to lose my other partitions | 06:29 |
| linrunix | **what | 06:29 |
| xwin | why did Ubuntu whacked my Windows XP boot file? | 06:29 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: no worries.. just get the x86 CD and boot into it and install the same way you did ther first time | 06:30 |
| Montoya | zetheroo linrunix: I have a Vista partition and a file partition, and GRUB for bootloading... I just want to overwrite the linux partitions | 06:30 |
| Montoya | zetheroo: Really? That wont'touch the other partitions... good stuff then | 06:30 |
| Montoya | okay I will be back later, I have a lot of stuff to try now | 06:30 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: yes... then in the install wizard do the partitioning manually | 06:30 |
| flamsmark | hey | 06:30 |
| linrunix | Montoya, you just gotta know which is your linux partition | 06:31 |
| flamsmark | how can i reboot the x-server on my machine? | 06:31 |
| Ose | Would my third partition on my first HDD be hd(0,3)? | 06:31 |
| Montoya | ok thanks guys | 06:31 |
| xwin | Ubuntu is dangerous though. First time I installed Linux as dual boot with XP and Ubuntu whacked my XP boot files. | 06:31 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: make sure you assign the install to the already created ext3 partition | 06:31 |
| linrunix | Ctrl + Alt + Backspace flamsmark | 06:31 |
| Montoya | ok | 06:31 |
| linrunix | lol | 06:31 |
| zetheroo | Montoya: make very sure!!! | 06:31 |
| zetheroo | ha | 06:31 |
| linrunix | flamsmark did it right away | 06:31 |
| jahnkeanate1 | how did you make ubotu send me a message | 06:32 |
| ZeeO | hey guys how do i uninstall the nvidia drives that come with ubuntu | 06:32 |

| jahnkeanate1 | ubotu: jahnkeanate1: hi | 06:33 |
| jahnkeanate1 | nope | 06:33 |
| Ose | Would my third partition on my first HD be hd(0,3)? | 06:33 |
| zetheroo | nickrud: ok.... | 06:33 |
| === DiCha_cHa-Cha is now known as c3w3x | ||

| lcphr3ak | Hey, just asking again too see if anyone else knew; I made a script that has executable attributes. I want to load it without loading it directly from the terminal. As in loading nautilus, and then double clicking the file/script. It will let me run it, but it asks me if I want to run it in a terminal or edit it. Is there a file extension or an attribute that will make the script automatically run in a terminal, instead of asking? | 06:59 |
| jahnkeanate1 | what plugin do i need to play videos on youtube | 06:59 |
| isforinsects | non-free flash | 07:00 |
| keith- | anyone know where i can download wl_apsta.o ? | 07:00 |
| nickrud | flamsmark, try this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+bug/65635/comments/2 | 07:00 |
| isforinsects | adobe | 07:00 |
| jahnkeanate1 | where can i get that | 07:00 |
| isforinsects | jahnkeanate1: you'd probably have the easiest time looking into automatix2 | 07:00 |
| isforinsects | Google that and it will solve most of your filetype and plugin problems | 07:00 |
| flamsmark | thanks nickrud | 07:01 |
| isforinsects | (automatix isn't a pariah here is it?) | 07:01 |
| keith- | \pretty sure automatix is a pariah everywhere | 07:01 |
| nickrud | !automatix | 07:02 |
| ubotu | automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 07:02 |
| preaction | except with its users which should say something | 07:02 |
| jahnkeanate1 | it keeps saying i already installed adobe | 07:02 |
| nickrud | preaction, if you had seen all the upgrade issues that automatix causes ... | 07:02 |
| preaction | nono, i agree, i'm just saying that it fills a niche | 07:02 |
| flamsmark | nuckrud, that'd probably do it; but i decided to reinstall it (it'd been installed for a grand total for about an hour so far), this time adding ubuntu desktop as one of the primary functions | 07:02 |
| elkbuntu | isforinsects, its use is discouraged because of all the problems we've had. at release time it can be as much as 1/4 of questions related to fixing script-caused kabooms relating to automatix and envy | 07:03 |
| nickrud | flamsmark, heh, probably not a bad choice. If you want a desktop, install a desktop :) | 07:03 |
| flamsmark | well exactly | 07:03 |
| isforinsects | I don't use it myself | 07:03 |
| flamsmark | nickfs, i'm sure there are a good few other people who want to have one computer to use as a single-user server and workstation | 07:05 |
| isforinsects | I'm working on staying on the golden path of no non-free. | 07:05 |
| isforinsects | But it's slow :( | 07:05 |
| nickrud | flamsmark, that what I have here. But it's primarily a desktop, so I installed it that way then added server functions as needed | 07:05 |
| Alyxander | hey guys whats a good program to add music to my videos? | 07:05 |

| Alyxander | hey guys whats a good program to add music to my videos? | 07:07 |
| jahnkeanate1 | what can i install in synaptic to make youtube work | 07:07 |
| flamsmark | nickrud, is there any point in installing the edubuntu/gobuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu desktop roles at install if i'm already asking for the ubuntu desktop one? | 07:07 |
| flamsmark | nickrud, i'll bear that in mind next time | 07:08 |
| nickrud | flamsmark, not really, the kubuntu and xubuntu variants have desktops that you might like, they take up space but live nicely together | 07:08 |

| jahnkeanate1 | lol | 07:09 |
| flamsmark | nickrud, assuming that i have an infinte hdd, is it more likely to save or make trouble down the road? | 07:10 |
| jahnkeanate1 | why does it keep ading a 1 to my name | 07:10 |
| tremby | flamsmark: no point installing them unless you plan to use them | 07:10 |
| flamsmark | tremby, ok | 07:11 |
| nickrud | flamsmark, neither | 07:11 |
| nickrud | flamsmark, xubuntu is really nice for slower machines, kubuntu is as functional as gnome/ubuntu, but a different philosophy. If you have the bandwidth and space, you should check it out (disclaimer, I don't like it) | 07:13 |
| flamsmark | i guess i'll install it and give it a try from time to time | 07:13 |
| tremby | i don't find that kde takes any more memory/cpu time than gnome | 07:13 |
| jahnkeanate1 | what is a good linux for gaming | 07:13 |
| tremby | if the rumours are true, the new version coming out soon takes 40% less memory than the current, even with its added functionality and eyecandy... | 07:14 |
| flamsmark | apparently kde 4 takes up less than the previous, notwithstanding eye candy | 07:14 |
| tremby | :) | 07:14 |
| flamsmark | indeed | 07:14 |
| tremby | jahnkeanate1: none really, unfortunately. depends what games you want to play | 07:14 |
| nickrud | tremby, neither do I, but it just doesn't tickle my fancy. Just personal prefs. | 07:14 |
| tremby | jahnkeanate1: if you're like me and all you want to play is id games and deus ex, you'll be fine | 07:14 |
| flamsmark | so, potentially worth having just to see | 07:14 |

| LordDicranius | haha u | 07:24 |
| LordDicranius | k* | 07:24 |
| LordDicranius | well, my issue is with the driver load | 07:25 |
| LordDicranius | loading* | 07:25 |
| LordDicranius | I was wondering if there was a way to have the camera driver load during login or something, so I don't have to wait 3-5 mins for it to load everytime I plug the camera in (USB) | 07:25 |
| lockd | and yes, scoured google and specifically the Ubuntu forums. I can patch X if need be | 07:25 |
| Gnea | shri: why are you compiling glut? | 07:25 |
| flamsmark | lorddicranius, are you trying to take photos with it, or just use the card? | 07:25 |
| lockd | i'm sure it's 20 or 30 lines at most | 07:26 |
| LordDicranius | flamsmark: just use the card | 07:26 |
| shri | i'm not i'm compileing mesa dor i965 driver | 07:26 |
| shri | for* | 07:26 |
| lockd | but I would rather another solution to let me avoid downloading the whole X server sources | 07:26 |
| LordDicranius | flamsmark, the pics are already on the CF card which is still in the camera when I plug the camera in via USB | 07:26 |
| flamsmark | lorddicranius, ignore the camera, just plug in the card - you'll probably get a better data rate too | 07:26 |
| Gnea | shri: are you using 7.10? | 07:27 |
| LordDicranius | flamsmark, I don't have a slot for the card on my laptop | 07:27 |
| shri | Gnea: yeah...64bit version | 07:27 |
| lockd | asking on xorg because it's a very very generic question which can be applied to virtually every nix | 07:27 |
| LordDicranius | flamsmark, so the only way for me to transfer the pics is via USB | 07:27 |
| flamsmark | as a longtime photographer, even on windows, i was using a pcmcia cf card adapter to swap photos | 07:28 |
| LordDicranius | flamsmark: ah, I don't have one of those :( | 07:28 |

| externalUSBinsta | so i am using manual partitioning, and I am just searching for some 'good numbers' to use | 07:37 |
| jahnkeanate1 | or told ubotu something | 07:37 |
| Gnea | shri: no - try using X without compiling it and see if it works or not | 07:37 |
| hencethus | skar, i'm not sure. but nickrud says vlc will play flvs. that's probably your best bet | 07:37 |
| externalUSBinsta | it is a 750gb drive, thinking a system, server, tv, media and swap setup (make sense?) at 100,180,400,60,10 gb | 07:37 |
| LordDicranius | jahnkeanatel: ah, I see. yeah, the ubuntu-restricted-extras will install mp3 playback, java, etc. | 07:38 |

| jahnkeanate1 | ok | 07:38 |
| Gnea | rico: see if it will boot it | 07:38 |
| steve_ | anyone use AWN? | 07:38 |
| Gnea | rico: right on | 07:38 |
| rico | Gnea, would that be equally effective than trying to boot from it? btw, GRUB used to pause when it sees there's a cd in the drive. now it doesn't. | 07:38 |
| rico | okay, I'll check it out now, be back in a bit. | 07:39 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i just installed ubuntu on this comp and i went to youtube and the comp crashed | 07:39 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i think it was gnash | 07:39 |
| rico | jahnkeanate1, your 'comp' crashed, or did firefox crash? | 07:39 |
| Gnea | rico: try that out first | 07:39 |
| jahnkeanate1 | firefox froze and i had to restart my comp | 07:39 |
| externalUSBinsta | if any partitioning wizard just wants to hold my hand through this process, I think I have the partition setup 'ok' but don't want another reboot cycle if I am wrong... | 07:39 |
| externalUSBinsta | :p | 07:39 |
| Strangework | I managed to setup the game aleph one on my computer, but now I wish to play a mod of the game, I am not sure how to set it up, could someone help me? | 07:39 |
| hencethus | skar, probably. try vlc. if it won't plays swfs then look into gnash | 07:40 |
| Gnea | jahnkeanate1: if firefox freezes, you should be able to recover without rebooting :) | 07:40 |
| LordDicranius | jahnkeanatel: yeah, gnash is still a little buggy. I've had problems getting youtube videos to play with it. I just installed the flashplugin-nonfree package for video playback on youtube. | 07:40 |
| jahnkeanate1 | the mouse wouldent even move | 07:40 |
| skar | hencethus, awesome, thanks for the help | 07:40 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i weighted 5 min and just held the power button down | 07:40 |
| Gnea | huh | 07:41 |
| roadkill | whats cook'n guys | 07:41 |
| Gnea | your brain | 07:41 |
| Gnea | :) | 07:41 |
| externalUSBinsta | heh. mine is | 07:41 |
| roadkill | no no drugs today mon | 07:41 |
| Gnea | lol | 07:41 |
| externalUSBinsta | I want the analogy of 'system + data' partitions | 07:41 |
| externalUSBinsta | but have no clue what to put as mount points | 07:42 |
| LordDicranius | jahnkeanatel: one other thing you could try when things seem to freeze up like that is pressing CTRL+ALT+Backspace. that'll restart the X server and kick you back out to the login screen. If that doesn't work though, really the only thing left to do is what you did: hold down the power button for a few seconds to shut it down hard, then boot it back up | 07:42 |
| externalUSBinsta | using manual partition on ubuntu live install cd | 07:42 |
| Gnea | / and /var ? | 07:42 |
| externalUSBinsta | yeah? well, I have server,tv,media as my 'drives' so I could just use /server /tv /media ?? | 07:42 |
| tremby | LordDicranius: don't forget control-alt-f1 to get a text terminal | 07:42 |
| jahnkeanate1 | yea i dont like holding down the button | 07:43 |
| Gnea | jahnkeanate1: instead of the power button, you could also try, after ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work: alt-sysrq-b | 07:43 |
| LordDicranius | tremby, ah yes, thank you :) | 07:43 |
| Gnea | jahnkeanate1: it will do an 'emergency reboot' | 07:43 |
| jahnkeanate1 | ok | 07:43 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i think once the mouse wont move i just hit the power button | 07:43 |
| steve_ | anyone use curve theme on AWN? | 07:43 |
| LordDicranius | Gnea: have u ever gotten that ctrl+sysreq+ combo to work? | 07:44 |
| Gnea | LordDicranius: for *years*. | 07:44 |
| Gnea | LordDicranius: but it's alt-sysrq | 07:44 |
| LordDicranius | Gnea: err, yeah. that's what I meant haha | 07:44 |
| LordDicranius | :-p | 07:44 |
| Gnea | :) | 07:44 |
| Gnea | works best like this though: SUIEIESUB | 07:44 |
| LordDicranius | Gnea: maybe my fingers were thinking "CTRL" when I tried it haha | 07:44 |
| Gnea | heh yeah | 07:45 |
| kitofhawaii | gnea: reboots? we don't have don't have any reboots in ubuntu :-D | 07:45 |
| LordDicranius | kitofhawaii: unless there's a kernel update ;) | 07:45 |
| Gnea | kitofhawaii: i do now and then, but i tend to attribute that to poor design with firefox and gnome ;) | 07:45 |
| goodhabit | Hello. Where I can find locale configuration file? | 07:45 |

| LordDicranius | Gnea: E17 = Enlightenment? | 07:46 |
| Gnea | goodhabit: of? | 07:46 |
| Gnea | LordDicranius: yes | 07:46 |
| ivan | i was using e17 back when they started developing it in the 90s | 07:46 |
| LordDicranius | Gnea: thanks. gonna have to try that soon. how do u think E17 compares to fluxbox? | 07:46 |
| goodhabit | Gnea, to generating system locales. | 07:46 |
| Gnea | ivan: same here, although i believe it was called e0.13.3 or something | 07:46 |
| devicebusy | devicebusy | 07:47 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i cant weight for Christmas i am building a comp with 3.2 Ghz dual core | 07:47 |
| Gnea | LordDicranius: i like e17 better, but i haven't tried it much on legacy systems | 07:47 |
| jahnkeanate1 | best comp i have used so far | 07:47 |
| Gnea | we just built a 64bit dualcore 3.6ghz comp | 07:48 |
| neil_d | I have a dhcp3 setup, can I force the server to listen on just one card ? netstat is showing the line "udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:67 ... " | 07:48 |
| LordDicranius | Gnea: I see. I just installed fluxbox on a spare PC I test stuff out on, and all the apps seem to run slow on it :-\ I was gonna try Enlightenment next | 07:48 |
| jahnkeanate1 | how mutch was the processor | 07:48 |
| jahnkeanate1 | mine is 64bit to | 07:49 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i spent $180 but it didnt come with a heat sink | 07:49 |
| LordDicranius | Gnea: it is a pretty old/basic PC though. Running Gnome puts some strain on it haha | 07:49 |
| externalUSBinsta | 'Can't have end before start' using manual partition, I created a 100, 180 and then 400 partitions, each one 'primary' (probably my mistake there) the 400 gives the 'can't have end before start' error | 07:49 |
| Slynderdale | Hmm, anyone know of a good gmail notification application for linux? | 07:49 |

| Gnea | LordDicranius: fluxbox tends to run pretty well on any system, e17 tends to run alright too | 07:50 |
| Gnea | jahnkeanate1: don't remember | 07:50 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i only have 80 gb but i got the drive because it was $40 and it has 3Gbps | 07:50 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i am on a budget | 07:51 |
| Gnea | the case has a ton of glowy blue and red cathode lights in it | 07:51 |
| Gnea | we did this for class :) | 07:51 |
| Gnea | i love going to school again | 07:51 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i have $400 and what i can get for Christmas | 07:51 |
| Gnea | we just spent nearly 3k on it | 07:51 |
| LordDicranius | *gasp* I'd LOVE to spend $3k on a PC | 07:52 |
| jahnkeanate1 | was it comp science | 07:52 |
| LordDicranius | as Weezer put it, "Only in dreams..." :-P | 07:52 |
| Gnea | yeah, the only thing that sucks was that they ... installed.... vista... | 07:52 |

| Gnea | just to see how it'll run | 07:52 |
| LordDicranius | hahaha | 07:52 |
| Gnea | on a 28" HDMI display | 07:52 |
| LordDicranius | go for it ;) | 07:53 |
| Gnea | oh i'm gonna | 07:53 |
| LordDicranius | hehe | 07:53 |
| Gnea | i will fully pimp the compiz out on it too | 07:53 |

| wargasm | I have a question...is there any good place to find themes for ubuntu? | 07:54 |
| mosno | Gnea: the guy from Pimp My Ride | 07:54 |
| jahnkeanate1 | lets see if i can use youtube | 07:54 |
| === wargasm is now known as Wargasm | ||
| Gnea | mosno: haven't seen that in awhile... i tend to have my own hard-hitting style... i'll go with that ;) | 07:54 |
| mosno | Gnea: lol ok | 07:54 |
| wy | Are there any good image mounters like daemon tools in Linux? | 07:54 |
| kitofhawaii | gnea: they forgot the raid card...otherwise the thing would be a screaming demon. what no raid-0? tish tish :) | 07:54 |
| Gnea | wy: what kind of images? | 07:54 |
| Gnea | kitofhawaii: the system can do RAID, although there's little reason to do so - it just causes more disk thrashing with vista | 07:55 |
| nickrud | Wargasm, art.gnome.org | 07:55 |
| jahnkeanate1 | come on i still cant use youtube | 07:55 |
| Gnea | jahnkeanate1: what video card do you have? | 07:56 |
| tremby | jahnkeanate1: what's your problem? | 07:56 |
| tremby | flash not working? | 07:56 |
| wy | Gnea: something like ISO, DAA, UIF, NRG, ... | 07:56 |
| jahnkeanate1 | Package 'flashplugin-nonfree' is already installed | 07:56 |
| Gnea | wy: ISO is supported already - just throw it on a loop device | 07:56 |
| wy | oh skip it | 07:56 |
| Gnea | wy: man losetup | 07:56 |
| cowbud | -o loop | 07:57 |
| Gnea | wy: or just double-click on it | 07:57 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i dont think it is the video card | 07:57 |
| jahnkeanate1 | i dont have one mine is intagrated | 07:57 |
| tremby | jahnkeanate1: in firefox go to about:plugins -- if there is more than one entry for flash you've probably found your problem | 07:57 |
| Gnea | jahnkeanate1: what is the result of this command in a terminal: lspci | grep VGA | 07:58 |
| neil_d | I have a dhcp3 setup, can I force the server to listen on just one card ? netstat is showing the line "udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:67 ... " | 07:58 |
| jahnkeanate1 | Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller | 07:59 |
| Gnea | neil_d: i think you need to edit /etc/default/dhcp3-server for that | 07:59 |
| tremby | intel chipsets are well supported, so that's unlikely to be your problem | 07:59 |
| _blitz_ | can anyone suggest a good torrent client which is highly user friendly (which does not ask me for metafiles right after i start it)? | 07:59 |
| jahnkeanate1 | tremby: what | 07:59 |
| tremby | jahnkeanate1: eh? | 08:00 |
| wy | ktorrent | 08:00 |
| neil_d | Gnea: I have tried INTERFACES="eth3" | 08:00 |
| jahnkeanate1 | lugins | 08:00 |
| nickrud | jahnkeanate1, try running update-flashplugin (I think that's the command, I'm on x64 at the moment) | 08:00 |
| neil_d | Gnea: but netstat still says the same thing | 08:00 |
| Gnea | neil_d: and... did you issue a /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart after? | 08:00 |
| tremby | _blitz_: ktorrent, azureus, some swear by µtorrent run through wine. i use rtorrent (which is anything but user friendly, but i love it) | 08:01 |
| lardarse | <jahnkeanate1> Package 'flashplugin-nonfree' is already installed | 08:01 |
| neil_d | Gnea: yes | 08:01 |
| lardarse | it doesn't install properly | 08:01 |
| ktamm | anyone here have ubuntu on a ps3? | 08:01 |
| fekall | hey I am trying to load a program via terminal and I typed sudo dpkg -i [filename] and got this message --dpkg: status database area is locked by another process | 08:01 |
| lardarse | if you have it showing details when you try to install the package, it probably complains about an md5sum mismatch | 08:01 |
| Gnea | jahnkeanate1: i can only guess that you have the right video driver installed.... grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf should see something about "vesa" or "i810" | 08:01 |
| nickrud | fekall, close synaptic or the update-manager | 08:02 |
| neil_d | fekall: you need to close another program like synaptic etc. | 08:02 |
| Malcol1 | hey all, i have a real newbie question here and i was just hoping someone could help me out real quick. i'm trying to figure out how to log into ubuntu in a console only session (no x server running). how do i go about that? | 08:02 |
| _blitz_ | no wine.last time i ran wine i had to reinstall | 08:02 |

| lardarse | jahnkeanate1: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash and get the tar.gz | 08:02 |
| lardarse | and follow the instructions there | 08:02 |
| neil_d | Malcol1: <ctrl> <alt> F1 .. F6 | 08:02 |
| nickrud | Malcol1, ctl-alt-f1 , login , sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to stop the X server | 08:03 |
| fekall | now...I know...noob I am but how can I change directory to my destop in terminal | 08:03 |
| fekall | i tried cd desktop | 08:03 |

| fekall | oh | 08:03 |
| nickrud | fekall, cd ~/desktop (~ stands for /home/<you>) | 08:03 |
| fekall | tx | 08:03 |
| neil_d | fekall: /home/<name> | 08:03 |
| Gnea | fekall: case sensitive. | 08:03 |
| jahnkeanate1 | ok now what | 08:03 |
| * neil_d oops | 08:03 | |
| tremby | fekall: unix filesystems are case-sensitive, so Desktop is not the same as desktop | 08:03 |
| nickrud | erm, Desktop :) | 08:03 |
| Malcol1 | thanks a bunch guys | 08:03 |
| Gnea | jahnkeanate1: ok what did it actually say? | 08:03 |
| lardarse | jahnkeanate1: on that page, there should be instructions | 08:04 |
| jahnkeanate1 | what say | 08:04 |
| Gnea | jahnkeanate1: if you use this command: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:04 |
| Gnea | jahnkeanate1: then what does it have to say about either "vesa" or "i810"? do either show up? | 08:04 |
| jahnkeanate1 | no | 08:05 |
| * nickrud wonders what X drivers have to do with flashplugin | 08:06 | |

| Sir-integra | well, not exactly 'fixing' but getting around it. | 08:14 |
| jahnkeanate1 | ok | 08:14 |

| jgoo | LordDicranius: what if people are offended by you not wanting to censor religion (this is all OTT) and they decide that you are not allowed to speak out against religion, when you ask people not to talk about something, you are also advocating you should not be able to ask them not to. | 08:23 |

| lockd | lardarse: i'm trying to do something to FORCE a game to stop trapping the, for instance, ALT-TAB. | 08:26 |

| fekall | go to syanptic and do a search for it dyson | 08:29 |
| fekall | err..synaptic | 08:29 |
| lockd | lardarse: any idea of how to do said task? | 08:30 |
| zaki1 | some time the sound just reappears after restart and again vanishes | 08:30 |
| lockd | lardarse: and no, there won't be a package for that | 08:30 |
| lardarse | lockd: none at all | 08:30 |
| lardarse | lockd: i dual boot for a reason :-) | 08:30 |
| lockd | lardarse: and arcane perl scripts, and kernel hackery | 08:30 |
| dyson | fekall , a ftp server | 08:31 |
| dyson | not a client | 08:31 |
| lockd | lardarse: and yes, i will rewrite a kernel if the bug is in that deep | 08:31 |
| mlpug | I know that you can turn server into normal by installing gnome-desktop-environment but can one turn server into kubuntu by installing some package? if yes, what is the name of that package? | 08:32 |
| lockd | of course nobody will see that it is a bug | 08:32 |
| BarryToeman | dyson: perhaps "proftp" | 08:33 |
| BarryToeman | dyson: i mean proftpd | 08:33 |
| bullgard4 | [GNOME] What file lists the 25 Menu items which one can activate using the System > Settings menu? | 08:33 |

| dyson | ah it does | 08:34 |
| dyson | BarryToeman: thanks | 08:34 |

| vecna | neumind, look http://www.winehq.org | 08:44 |
| tremby | neumind: some (id games for instance) have linux ports and don't need wine | 08:45 |
| ushimitsudoki | BarryToeman: I can rename .wine. However, I know that all the files were not created that are needed in the .wine folder | 08:45 |
| BarryToeman | ushimitsudoki: i see...because it fails installation. | 08:45 |
| ushimitsudoki | BarryToeman: The same error occurs if I try to create in a different name directory, or I delete .wine and try again | 08:45 |
| nickrud | Karti, right click an html file in the file system, select properties, and then the open with tab | 08:45 |
| vecna | UserUbuntu, join #wine and try wineprefixcreate | 08:45 |
| vecna | sorry that was for ushimitsudoki | 08:46 |
| ushimitsudoki | BarryToeman: yes, winecfg can not run becuase wineprefixcreate crashes | 08:46 |
| BarryToeman | ushimitsudoki: did the wine version from the repository work? | 08:46 |
| ppcguy | hey all | 08:47 |
| ushimitsudoki | Barry: I believe I am using the repository version? | 08:47 |
| Karti | nickrud: Dis as you asked. It is already set to open in Firefox. WOuld it be a setting that was changed n Kontact? | 08:48 |
| nickrud | ushimitsudoki, try sudo aptitude reinstall wine , sometimes a reinstall fixes an odd problem | 08:48 |
| neumind | wher i can find good tutorial how install wine and use it? | 08:49 |
| BarryToeman | ushimitsudoki: i mean the Ubuntu universe and not from wine.budgetdedicated.com | 08:49 |
| nickrud | Karti, ah, kontact don't know kde at all. Someone might answer, but #kubuntu is the kde place | 08:49 |

| ushimitsudoki | Barry: I will try that. | 08:51 |

| Altrag | Hello everyone, first time here | 08:51 |
| nickrud | Karti, yeah, I'm sure there's some setting that got changed, but don't know what it is. That's one reason why I don't mix qt & gtk apps anymore | 08:51 |
| ushimitsudoki | Barry: Alright, that is something I have not tried. Let me give that a go. Thanks for your help! | 08:51 |
| BarryToeman | ushimitsudoki: good luck with that | 08:51 |
| Karti | nickrud: Good advice.......many thanks for your help ;) | 08:52 |
| wy | Why isn't freemind in the repository? | 08:53 |
| nickrud | Karti, a suggestion: install dovecot , it's an imap server. Keep all your mail in there, then your email client won't matter | 08:54 |
| Altrag | I have a problem with my monitor, I wanted to change my main monitor, so I choose the model I had, syncmaster 955df, and I clicked OK with out testing it, reloged to the computer, and the display is messed up, so I cant actualy see enything... anyway I can set it back to default monitor through command promt? thanks! :P | 08:54 |
| Karti | nickrud: Is it a complicated install? (I am relatively new to Linux) | 08:54 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | does anyone know if there is a linux/ubuntu port for the Creative Zen V Plus mp3 player | 08:55 |
| ppcguy | Altrag: If it was a completely different monitor you might want to reconfig x from the command line. My 2nd monitor is a 955df, watching officespace on it now. ;) | 08:55 |
| BarryToeman | Altrag: yes, command line can fix it. you can either try to check for a backup of your config file or do what ppcguy says with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 08:56 |
| Altrag | Well, it doesnt work for me, maybe its the ATI card that I have that stops it from working | 08:56 |
| nickrud | Karti, no, it's pretty simple . https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot . Don't get the dovecot-pop3 (since you won't be feeding other machines) and use the Maildir format | 08:58 |
| Karti | nickrud: many thanks.....just checking it out now | 08:59 |
| fgeyser | hi | 08:59 |
| BarryToeman | KRaZy_WaKa: did you check to see if gnomad2 or Amarok works with the Zen V? | 08:59 |
| look | can someone tell me other IRC clients except xChat for uBuntu 7.10 ? | 08:59 |
| ushimitsudoki | Barry: Same results with wine from the repository (0.9.36-0ubuntu1). wine gives the error: "wineprefixcreate failed while creating '/home/jason/.wine' ... Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 08:59 |
| tremby | look: pidgin (it's a multi protocol one -- does msn and xmpp and aim etc too) | 09:00 |
| kantor | how can I connect from outside to a host that is behind a router and has a private IP (like 192.168.0.23) ? | 09:00 |
| BarryToeman | ushimitsudoki: did you purge your old files and old installation first? how did you install initially? | 09:00 |
| tremby | kantor: you need to get your router to forward the relevant port to your machine | 09:00 |
| SatManUK | has anybody used to ubuntu forums wiki howto on Quasar? | 09:01 |
| ushimitsudoki | From Syntaptic each time, complete uninstall. I have tried in the past from terminal as well. | 09:01 |
| BarryToeman | look: bitchx, lostirc, loqui | 09:01 |
| kantor | so If I do not set the forwarding I can't connect from outside, no ? | 09:01 |
| === ^kaminix is now known as kaminix | ||
| nickrud | look, irssi seems really popular in this channel | 09:02 |
| soldats | xchat as well | 09:02 |
| flamsmark | it's all about xchat | 09:03 |
| soldats | lol i prefer irssi though | 09:04 |
| BarryToeman | ushimitsudoki: well, that error you get isn't very helpful, huh? did you remove .wine before reinstalling? also, in synaptic you can choose which version to install (universe or winehq if you have that enabled), but you just tried that. | 09:04 |
| BarryToeman | ushimitsudoki: i don't know what else to suggest besides trying #wine irc | 09:04 |
| look | ok but which one of them is more similar with the old mIRC | 09:05 |
| look | for windows ? | 09:05 |
| BarryToeman | ushimitsudoki: i mean #winehq | 09:05 |
| ushimitsudoki | Barry: Alright. Haven't got any response there, but I will try again in a bit. Thanks for the effort, nonetheless | 09:05 |
| lardarse | how do i use chmod to set all the .cpp files within a folder (and within folders in that folder) to 644 ? | 09:05 |
| BarryToeman | ushimitsudoki: make a post at ubuntuforums.org if winehq is worthless | 09:05 |
| lardarse | chmod -R 644 *.cpp deons't work | 09:06 |
| ushimitsudoki | Barry: Alright, I might just do that! | 09:06 |
| soldats | sudo chmod 644 /path/to/dir/*.cpp i think | 09:06 |
| soldats | maybe need the -R im not sure | 09:07 |
| lardarse | soldats: why do i need sudo? the files are in my home folder | 09:07 |
| lardarse | -R is recursive | 09:07 |
| ReS|UK | lardarse: Have you got the correct privelidges? | 09:07 |
| lardarse | ReS|UK: i just extracted the folder from a tar.gz | 09:07 |
| lardarse | onto my desktop | 09:07 |
| BarryToeman | lardarse: chmod -R 644 *.cpp should work. what is the error? | 09:07 |
| lardarse | chmod: cannot access `*.cpp': No such file or directory | 09:08 |
| ReS|UK | In which case as BarryToeman said the chmod -R 644 *.cpp should work. | 09:08 |
| bullgard4 | [GNOME] What file lists the 25 Menu items which one can activate using the System > Settings menu? | 09:08 |
| ReS|UK | lardarse: Are you in the dir containing the .cpp files? | 09:08 |
| lardarse | no.. the files ar a couple of levels down | 09:08 |
| lardarse | in multiple folders | 09:08 |
| ReS|UK | That is why you need to use the dir if you are not in the current dir. | 09:09 |
| lardarse | and i just discovered that i cant blindly 644 everything, because the folders stop feing folders | 09:09 |
| lardarse | being* | 09:09 |
| ReS|UK | That is correct lardarse; you need to just do the files from the dir they are contained in. | 09:10 |
| lardarse | ehh... | 09:10 |
| lardarse | i would rather not type in a command 17 times... | 09:10 |
| lardarse | or more | 09:10 |
| Wargasm | copy paste? | 09:10 |
| nickrud | bullgard4, they are each described in an individual file in /usr/share/applications | 09:10 |
| ReS|UK | You could use copy and paste | 09:11 |
| lardarse | yeah... but then i still ahve to get into each folder in turn | 09:11 |
| nickrud | lardarse, that's why you would specify files ending in .cpp to chmod, the dir's would be left alone | 09:12 |
| lardarse | nickrud: yes... i'm trying that | 09:12 |
| ReS|UK | lardarse: The only other way is to chmod as that does all | 09:12 |
| ReS|UK | Ohhh sorry nickrud just said that. | 09:12 |
| lardarse | but it's saying that it can't find th files which are 2 levels down | 09:12 |
| ReS|UK | lardarse: Change dir and try it from the location and see if you get the same error. | 09:13 |
| nickrud | lardarse, BarryToeman suggested chmod -R 644 *.cpp . Did you try that? | 09:13 |
| lardarse | nickrud: i tried tht myself | 09:13 |
| lardarse | and yes, it works if the files are in my current folder... but that's tedious | 09:13 |
| nickrud | lardarse, from inside the top dir of the files you unpacked? | 09:13 |
| lardarse | nickrud: yes | 09:13 |
| lardarse | chmod -R 644 *.cpp | 09:13 |
| lardarse | chmod: cannot access `*.cpp': No such file or directory | 09:13 |
| nickrud | lardarse, then that is very odd, -R has never failed me | 09:13 |
| === smiley is now known as Xsylotte | ||
| lardarse | the exact same error as without the -R | 09:14 |
| BarryToeman | lardarse: odd. you can try a sledgehammer approach: "find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;" | 09:15 |
| ReS|UK | lardarse: To me that errors seems to read that it fails to find the cpp in the dir or is looking for something that isn't there. | 09:15 |
| BarryToeman | lardarse: however, my example will change all files to that permission | 09:15 |
| lardarse | ReS|UK: but the files are there | 09:15 |

| BarryToeman | lardarse: make a backup and try it. then delete when it doesn't work because I didn't test it. | 09:16 |

| ChaosR | but the odd thing is, if I use ssh -X, I have no problems at all using wine for utorrent | 09:34 |
| scguy318 | ChaosR: that's normal, Wine will output to Terminal | 09:34 |
| scguy318 | ChaosR: unless you mean page fault? | 09:35 |
| wols | soldats: you can see the link with ls -l | 09:35 |

| wols | you cannot see if another file links to a file | 09:35 |

| suupaabaka | I'm about to reinstall Ubuntu and I'd like some advice about how to set up my partitions. I keep a lot (and I mean A LOT) of music on my hard drive, as well as install several games through WINE, as well as quite a few packages from the repositories. How should I partition my 80gb drive? | 10:50 |
| Filled-void | four-o-fou1, Unfortunately IM not sure either I havent tried fetchyahoo and IM not at my Ubuntu machine to try either sorry :(. | 10:50 |
| suupaabaka | I've read about separate partitions for /boot, / and /home. Is that the way to go? | 10:50 |
| pecisk | wols: in fact I meant it to say to jgoo, sorry for bothering you :) | 10:50 |
| mozart | I just formated my 500GB (My Book) drive to ext3 using "Partition Editor - GParted 0.3.3". | 10:50 |
| mozart | When I bought the drive, it came as a fat32 drive and had some google and other files on it. | 10:50 |
| mozart | first I tried using QTparted (took 5 seconds) that did format but later showed up as error, so I used GParted (took 6.5 minutes) and it went all well and I mounted the drive now as an ext3 drive. | 10:50 |
| mozart | Question | 10:50 |
| mozart | 1. The drive in size shows as 465.76GB, but it shows 7.50GB used and 458.26GB unused, how can that be, I just formated the whole drive and have put nothing on it, so what is using the 7.50 GB? (please see picture) | 10:50 |
| mozart | 2. It shows a Lost+Found folder, I don't know what its for and why it was created, it shows up empty inside. (I'ld prefer it not to be there, can I rid of it?) | 10:50 |
| mozart | 3. How can I rename my drive again to "My Book" | 10:50 |
| Filled-void | ! | 10:50 |

| ubotu | suupaabaka: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For mounting your home folder on a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 10:50 |
| Slart | suupaabaka: it's good to have at least your home folder on a different partition.. makes it easier to reinstall the system without worrying about your files | 10:50 |
| pecisk | four-o-fou1: when you press "Send/Recieve" what happens? Error messages? Behaviour? | 10:51 |
| four-o-fou1 | pecisk: do you have a free account on yahoo? | 10:51 |
| suupaabaka | Slart: So maybe 60gb for home, 20gb for everything else? | 10:51 |

| wols | 1. ext3 reserves 5-10% of space by default. directories and such use space too. 500GB are not 500 gigabtes but only 500 billion bytes | 10:51 |
| four-o-fou1 | pecisk: it sends me errors | 10:51 |
| bobbywan | bonjour tlm | 10:51 |

| Keule|on | snmpee can you help me with xcompmgr ?? | 10:52 |
| mozart | wols: yes i know that but theres an extra 7.5 showing as used | 10:52 |

| Lunenfeld | Hello, does someone know how turn off that gthumb opens up automatically when i plug in my USB-digicam? | 10:52 |
| DDragon | !ask USB install | 10:52 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask usb install - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:52 |
| Slart | suupaabaka: that would be ok.. with some gigs to spare for the ubuntu system.. (20 Gb) is a bit much.. but who knows) | 10:52 |
| DDragon | !ask portable harddrive install | 10:52 |
| Filled-void | four-o-fou1, Gmail works with that fine and those are the server names. IM guessing that Yahoo had pop access for free once upon a time but that wont work now. If it did I dont think YPOP would exsist | 10:52 |
| suupaabaka | Slart: So stuff like OpenOffice gets installed on my /home? | 10:53 |
| pecisk | four-o-fou1: but there is simple message - invalid password or username | 10:53 |
| pecisk | four-o-fou1: consult Yahoo mail help for reading POP messages | 10:53 |
| Slart | anyone else getting "Shut up and XXXX you"-messages from [MxPm]Synz-Nein? | 10:53 |
| wols | suupaabaka: no it doesn't | 10:53 |
| pecisk | four-o-fou1: propably you have to provide your full email as username | 10:53 |
| Slart | suupaabaka: nope.. it goes into usr/local I think. | 10:53 |
| wols | Slart: he trolled before | 10:53 |
| wols | Slart: then he got banned and now he's venting his anger | 10:53 |
| Slart | wols: ok.. but he's in the channel? why isn't he kicked? | 10:54 |
| four-o-fou1 | pecisk: I have checked all possibilities! I don't think it's because of that, since my gmail account works properly | 10:54 |
| suupaabaka | Slart and wols: So I should have maybe 10-15gb (just in case) on my root partition for proggies? | 10:54 |
| wols | Slart: he was only banned by tomaw. and what would a kick help? | 10:54 |
| hacked_kernel | I downloaded the iso image and i'm booting it using VirtualBox, after the system boots it takes me to the shell how can start the GUI? | 10:54 |

| Slart | wols: he wouldn't know who's talking in the channel.. I get one priv message for each line I write in here | 10:55 |
| mozart | I just formated my 500GB (My Book) drive to ext3 using "Partition Editor - GParted 0.3.3". | 10:55 |
| mozart | When I bought the drive, it came as a fat32 drive and had some google and other files on it. | 10:55 |
| mozart | first I tried using QTparted (took 5 seconds) that did format but later showed up as error, so I used GParted (took 6.5 minutes) and it went all well and I mounted the drive now as an ext3 drive. | 10:55 |
| mozart | Question | 10:55 |
| mozart | 1. The drive in size shows as 465.76GB, but it shows 7.50GB used and 458.26GB unused, how can that be, I just formated the whole drive and have put nothing on it, so what is using the 7.50 GB? (please see picture) | 10:55 |
| Filled-void | four-o-fou1, gmail pop access is for free. Yahoo is a paid service. You need to subscribe to it. | 10:55 |
| mozart | 2. It shows a Lost+Found folder, I don't know what its for and why it was created, it shows up empty inside. (I'ld prefer it not to be there, can I rid of it?) | 10:55 |
| Bubulle | slept, GPU fan monitoring, if you have an nvidia GPU you can use nvidia-settings. No standard API to probe a GFX card sensor though:( | 10:55 |
| mozart | 3. How can I rename my drive again to "My Book" from 500 to 465 then again 7.5 taken away, thats a lot. | 10:55 |
| mozart | Is there anyway to recover this? and also why is there a lost+found folder inside does anyone know? | 10:55 |
| pecisk | four-o-fou1: but your gmail account has different name/password right? Maybe you can imagine that Yahoo mail should be configured a little bit differently? :) | 10:55 |
| wols | !repeat | mozart | 10:55 |
| ubotu | mozart: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 10:55 |
| mozart | sorry | 10:55 |
| suupaabaka | wols: Really? I'll cut it down then :D | 10:55 |
| wols | mozart: and alst but not least you already got an answer to all 3 questions | 10:55 |
| bazhang | four-o-fou1: just forward your yahoo to gmail then | 10:56 |
| mozart | i did search a lot before coming here, i couldnt find an answer | 10:56 |
| slept | Bubulle, no its i945 - I am not sure that it has a fan of its own - its a laptop | 10:56 |
| four-o-fou1 | pecisk: I just wanna know wether you have a free account like me or not,?? ok, let me check it out once more.. | 10:56 |
| Slart | well... got to run.. bye | 10:56 |
| bmt2 | hello to all | 10:56 |
| mozart | wols: sorry what was the answer? | 10:56 |
| Filled-void | four-o-fou1, http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-30.html | 10:56 |
| bmt2 | if i want to secure apache for just development purposes | 10:56 |
| wols | mozart: /lastlog wols | 10:56 |
| bmt2 | could i just edit the ports.conf to just contain: Listen 127.0.0.1:80 ? | 10:57 |
| wols | bmt2: good idea | 10:57 |
| Bubulle | slept it may have some kind of temperature sensore though I don't know about i945. Did you try googling linux i945 GPU sensors ? | 10:57 |
| bmt2 | is that the only line that needs to appear in ports.conf ? | 10:57 |
| slept | mozart, google for : gb vs gibi and if you don't like lost+found use reiserfs | 10:57 |
| mozart | wols: sorry i am new here and to ubuntu, what do you mean? | 10:57 |
| mozart | ok | 10:57 |
| bmt2 | wols: is that the only line that needs to appear in ports.conf ? | 10:58 |
| wols | mozart: I answered all your question just after you asked | 10:58 |
| wols | bmt2: yes | 10:58 |
| bmt2 | wols: thanks | 10:58 |
| mozart | wols: its not i dont like lost+found, i just would prefer if it were hidden | 10:58 |
| leethal | is it possible to set the keyboard layout on a per-application basis? Or, set the keyboard layout with a gnome launcher thingie? Using dvorak as main layout, but got some games installed, would like to use qwerty on those | 10:58 |
| four-o-fou1 | Filled-void: thanks, but why ypop and fetchyahoo don't work? | 10:59 |
| Filled-void | Filled-void, Thats the problem IM not sure about. The above link only explains why you cant receive it ther way you did with gmail. Further it was one of the main reasons I started a gmail account also | 11:00 |
| wols | four-o-fou1: for them to work you might have to set up a local functioning mail system. and screen scrapers are notoriously unreliable | 11:00 |
| Filled-void | gah four-o-fou1 ^ above was to you | 11:00 |
| stojic | leethal: you can write a small script to launch those games, something like setxkbmap us \ your_game \ setxkbmap dvorak | 11:00 |
| imbecile | is there anyway to get conky to work in gnome? | 11:00 |
| wols | imbecile: just install and run it? | 11:00 |
| leethal | stojic: ah, thanks, wasn't aware of setxkbmap, that should do it =) | 11:01 |
| wols | leethal: afaik it changes it for the whole X session | 11:01 |
| imbecile | wols: it will work? | 11:01 |
| eromero | quick question: is there a command to switch what mirrors apt-get is using by default? | 11:01 |
| imbecile | ill give it a try | 11:01 |
| wols | imbecile: any special reason why not? | 11:01 |
| bullgard4 | English help wanted. I find in an official Gnome documentation a remark: "Buggy as heck". I do not know what 'heck' is. Is this equivalent to 'Buggy as the hell?' | 11:01 |
| imbecile | wols: last time i tried it no workie | 11:01 |
| wols | eromero: you can edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to hearts content | 11:01 |
| mozart | wols: ok thanks now i got it, sorry as it moves so fast here i didnt see it, ok, i understand that the formated drive loses space, but whats with the mystery 7.5GB that shows up as a used space? its a new drive i just formated it, so whats taking the space? | 11:01 |
| Emof | How do I force install "linux-restricted-modules-2.6-20-16"? When I install linux restricted-modules-generic a newer version installs, but restricted-manager need the 20-16 one | 11:02 |
| bazhang | imbecile: superkaramba and widgets is far nicer | 11:02 |
| wols | bullgard4: very very buggy | 11:02 |
| Bubulle | slept you may find about available sensors in console with: acpi -V | 11:02 |
| eromero | thanks :- | 11:02 |
| eromero | :-) | 11:02 |
| bullgard4 | wols: Thank you for commenting. | 11:02 |
| slept | Bubulle, well only the 2 thermal zones | 11:02 |
| wols | Emof: get a repo that has this version | 11:02 |
| Emof | how do I go about finding that repo? | 11:03 |
| mozart | wols: the drive after formating shows as 465.76GB, but also it shows 7.50GB used and 458.26GB unused | 11:03 |
| slept | Bubulle, i found some guy in a gentoo forum saying setting the freq to 1ghz helps but thats stupid ... | 11:03 |
| four-o-fou1 | (2007-12-16 14:29:59) wols: four-o-fou1: for them to work you might have to set up a local functioning mail system. and screen scrapers are notoriously unreliable, would you tell me more? | 11:03 |
| wols | slept: it helps to make the cpu less power probably | 11:04 |

| mozart | Filled-void: thanks | 11:07 |
| wols | e.g. not heat related | 11:07 |

| pecisk | bazhang: show me | 11:11 |
| slept | stojic, youthink that helps , cool. thanks I will try to crash it ... | 11:11 |
| mozart | Filled-void: yes i am just reading he first liknk u sent, funny, there seems to be no answer :-) | 11:11 |
| Filled-void | mozart, Check out the second | 11:12 |
| stojic | slept: that fixes overheating for me, I use ondemand and it slows down cpu when it gets too hot | 11:12 |
| mozart | Filled-void: ok thanks | 11:12 |
| Filled-void | mozart, He was able tog et back some space | 11:12 |
| Filled-void | mozart, Oddly enough 5% off a 500GN drive is much moer space :x than the amount you are losing | 11:12 |
| stojic | slept: do it for both TZS0 and TZS1, and you'll need to do it on every reboot | 11:12 |
| mozart | Filled-void: hmm, so maybe i should go to NTFS or reiserfs, I have no idea, anyway i really need to make use of all the space i can get as i am going travelling and i need to take some huge amouts of music files in one drive, as i cant carry too much | 11:13 |

| mozart | Filled-void: i opened a thread here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3961099#post3961099 | 11:14 |
| Filled-void | mozart, That you would need to confirm from one of the more advanced folks here. Ive always heard that ext3 was better never checked out why or the reason someone told me that | 11:14 |
| mozart | wols: yes, i understood tune2fs was for changing the name, i was now just curious about the missing 7.5GB, or did i miss something | 11:15 |
| Filled-void | mozart, You might want to update your findings so it will help someone in the future | 11:15 |
| wols | mozart: it's also for more | 11:15 |
| wols | mozart: read its manpage | 11:15 |
| pecisk | bazhang: it's not exactly "free", isn't it? | 11:16 |
| robobob | hi guys im having trouble making audio cds from serpentine and k3b it says there not supported etc | 11:16 |
| bazhang | pecisk: not in the foss sense :} | 11:16 |
| Filled-void | lol | 11:16 |
| Bassboy | \LIST | 11:16 |
| mozart | wols: sorry, i dont understand what u mean by manpage (am new to linux) i understand the lost space of a formated drive, but whats using the extra 7.5GB | 11:17 |
| Filled-void | mozart, man tun2fs | 11:17 |
| bazhang | robobob: mp3? | 11:17 |
| robobob | yup | 11:17 |
| mozart | wols: ok | 11:17 |
| robobob | just plain mp3s | 11:17 |
| slept | mozart, you can change the amount of space reserved for root and you can switch to ext2 so you'll get rid of the journal but thats not very usefull - forget about 7gb - or if its empty you can try reiserfs...its quite nice , very fast but if its broken you are f*****,eventough that neverhappend to me in 6years its quite a concern | 11:17 |
| Filled-void | mozart, NO clue to whats using it though :x | 11:17 |
| bazhang | does gnome use the lame encoder as well? for burning to mp3 | 11:17 |
| wols | bazhang: pop3 not free. it's only part of Yahoo Mail Plus, the "premium" version accoridng to help.yahoo.com | 11:18 |
| robobob | think so | 11:18 |
| wols | bazhang: grip should | 11:18 |
| mozart | Filled-void: ok so maybe i should go try formating it with a different app before putting my files on it | 11:18 |
| wols | mozart: yes it could be the journal | 11:18 |
| Filled-void | mozart, Worth a try but I wouldnt want to get your hopes high | 11:19 |
| bazhang | wols: noted, but ypops! seems to work around that | 11:19 |
| Filled-void | bazhang, As far as i recall ypop doesnt use the pop mail server access concept | 11:19 |
| bazhang | robobob: install lame encoder for k3b | 11:19 |
| mozart | wols: thanks, so what do you propose i should do, (i have to catch my flight in about 8 hours time, still have to finish packing) | 11:19 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: if you only store data on that drive you can use tune2fs -m 0 /dev/DEVICE. you hate to unmount the partition first | 11:19 |
| wols | mozart: nothing. the journal is a very good thing,especially on a external harddisk | 11:20 |
| bazhang | Filled-void: the link to their home page would disagree :} | 11:20 |
| wols | mozart: every journalled filesystem will have one, ntfs too | 11:20 |
| mozart | OH OK, now i understand is tune2fs a journeling system like ext3? | 11:20 |
| tumbleweed__ | newp | 11:21 |
| Filled-void | bazhang, Well, this application is more like a gateway. It provides a POP3 server interface at one end to talk to email clients and an HTTP client (browser) interface at the other which allows it to talk to Yahoo! The same concept holds good for SMTP as well | 11:21 |
| wols | mozart: tune2fs is a program not a filesystem | 11:21 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: Nio tune2fs is an programm to "tune" the filesystem - change settings | 11:21 |
| robobob | lame - LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder | 11:21 |
| Filled-void | bazhang, but theres very minimal difference I guess | 11:21 |
| mozart | ok | 11:21 |
| robobob | thats 1 by anychane | 11:21 |
| s_v_e_1 | open a terminan and type mane tune2fs | 11:21 |
| bazhang | Filled-void: true--though indistinguishable from magic to those not in the know :} | 11:21 |
| mozart | ok | 11:21 |
| * Filled-void agrres with bazhang | 11:21 | |
| bazhang | hehe | 11:22 |
| Filled-void | agrees* | 11:22 |
| mozart | s_v_e_1: ok done its open | 11:22 |
| Filled-void | Virtualbox allows the installtion of 64 bit guess os? | 11:22 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: the most of the 7 GB should be reserved for root | 11:23 |
| s_v_e_1 | if this is not a system partition you can unmount it and change the -m setting | 11:23 |
| bazhang | never tried it Filled-void but should do | 11:23 |
| mozart | s_v_e_1: yes its only a drive for carrying data, why does ubuntu make an external drive for root? | 11:23 |
| Filled-void | bazhang, Thanks. I got a your cpu doesnt support this message :D. Im going to try some other 64 bit to confirm | 11:23 |
| bazhang | Filled-void: cheers! curious to know myself | 11:24 |

| desertc | Hello - I am trying to help someone on the forums. What is the command to fix a broken package? Is there an easier way than uninstalling and re-installing? | 11:24 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: unmount it and tune it , can you do that in a terminal ? | 11:24 |
| mozart | Mybe i should go into windows and then format it to ext3 and then mount it in ubuntu, i guess that would solve it | 11:24 |
| Myrtti | desertc: sudo aptitude -f install or using synaptic... | 11:25 |
| Myrtti | desertc: hold on | 11:25 |
| mozart | s_v_e_1: i am not good at terminal commands | 11:25 |
| wols | mozart: it won't | 11:25 |
| OIM | hı | 11:25 |
| wols | mozart: especially since you can't format to ext3 in windows | 11:25 |
| OIM | is that possible to change amaroks language | 11:25 |
| new2ubuntu | I have a question, it may be very difficult or very easy. I want to connect the modem to the speakers/microphone, can I connect some modem software (minicom?) to /dev/dsp | 11:25 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: no. why would you want to do this? | 11:26 |
| Myrtti | desertc: System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager - Edit - Fix broken packages | 11:26 |
| mozart | wols: um, i have some apps installed on a windows machine that give me the ext3 option, so maybe it'll work, also i have a CD of HirensBootCD | 11:26 |
| wols | mozart: it still won't solve your problems | 11:26 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: then seperate the modem connection using a radio (walkie talkie) to have a remote connection | 11:26 |
| desertc | myrtti: Okay, thanks. He said he is trying that, after re-reading the message. I thought there was a command line to reconfigure, but it's probably the same thing. Thanks for your help. | 11:27 |
| Myrtti | desertc: for reconfiguring there's another option | 11:27 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: I don' t know if your familiar with wtc7 and the forensic evidence by mit.. but the idea is an off the grid backup communication system | 11:27 |
| BB88 | Hello. Anybody know why my connection will be running at maximum speed, and then suddenly drop to almost 10% after a few minutes? | 11:27 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: look into ham radio | 11:28 |
| Myrtti | desertc: if the problem is reconfiguration and not broken package | 11:28 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: whats the device of the drive ? you can find out with mount on the terminal (dont paste all in here) | 11:28 |
| mozart | s_v_e_1: sorry what , how | 11:29 |
| david__ | hello | 11:29 |
| mavi- | q zaharazod | 11:29 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: yes considered that, and there are some abilities there, but I'm looking for an internet connection with ip address and everything | 11:29 |
| velko | OIM, if amarok supports your language it will use it automatically (like all programs on your desktop). but you can start programs in a different language from a terminal window like that: LC_ALL=de_DE.utf-8 amarok (provided you have installed the german utf locale) | 11:30 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: open a terminal, type mount - then look for the hardrive, the first parameter in the line is importent . it starts with /dev/ | 11:30 |
| mozart | s_v_e_1: i am guessing /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev) | 11:30 |
| desertc | Myrtti: Maybe you know this part of his question, he says the file permissions look like: -----a-Ac-Z----t- ./upcase.dat (with the command lsattr) Maybe he needs to modify those flags with chattr | 11:30 |
| imbecile | hey who was talking about superkaramba a bit ago? | 11:30 |
| david_J | This wifi connection sucks | 11:30 |

| kasmra_ | Hi, how can I create new shortcut key for launching some program in Ubuntu? | 11:31 |
| david__ | people or computer | 11:31 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: ham radio is the way to go. you can run a ppp or slip daemon on top of it... | 11:31 |

| jb_ | Hi, can anyone install this icon theme? -> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=58805&forumpage=1 I get a error message. Anyone know how to install this theme? | 11:31 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: I'm very close,, some software modem must be able to communicate with /dev/dsp which is just a file,, I think there is just a tiny step to go,, after that software could connect to cell phones (thinking open moko), then multiple base stations,, skype,, then no more AT &T | 11:31 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: if it the right one, then type sudo umount /dev/sdb | 11:32 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: I'll give it another look, what I saw at first glance seemed very basic | 11:32 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: you are mistaken | 11:32 |
| mozart | s_v_e_1: ok | 11:32 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: if it the right one, then type sudo umount /dev/sdb1 - sorry --- | 11:33 |
| wols | if you use open moko's voice calls to transmit modem beeptones over it to avoid AT&T you have issues. the voicecalls uses AT&T or similar | 11:33 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: and you can be sure there will be a voip client for the wlan on rollout if it doesn't ship with one already | 11:33 |
| mozart | s_v_e_1: yup done, i can actually unmount from the desktop gui as well | 11:33 |
| MooseMorals | new2, rfc1926 may help you incidently | 11:33 |
| wols | iriver550: not to mention you will be very lucky indeed if your softphone hack gets more than 1200 baud | 11:34 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: ok. and next: tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1 | 11:34 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: open moko's speaker/ microphone to connect to a external radio device,, no cell phone | 11:34 |
| wols | which means you can read faster than you can transmit | 11:34 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: why not simply use the radio device directly? your proposal makes NOT sense | 11:34 |
| mozart | s_v_e_1: Setting reserved blocks percentage to 0% (0 blocks) | 11:35 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: sorry again : sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1 | 11:35 |

| s_v_e_1 | mozart: sudo sync . unplug the prive . plug it on and be happy | 11:35 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: about the only thing you can do if it ever works on this is irc. and not a busy channel like #ubuntu either | 11:36 |
| mozart | s_v_e_1: thanks | 11:36 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: baically: nice hack, useless in practice | 11:36 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: ssh | 11:36 |
| wols | ever used ssh on a high latency, 1200 baud channel like this? pure torture | 11:36 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: I could code for a server, wget a page, reboot apache, | 11:37 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: use wlan and a cantenna. | 11:37 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: since you use handsets apparently, it should have about the same range | 11:37 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: hmm | 11:38 |
| imbecile | hey who was talking about superkaramba a bit ago? | 11:38 |
| imbecile | i logged off | 11:38 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: a walkie talkie set can get 25 miles,, | 11:39 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: as standard on every partition some space is reserved for the superuser root, | 11:39 |
| s_v_e_1 | thats usefull if a filesytems becomes full and the system still needs to wrok | 11:39 |
| bazhang | superkaramba? imbecile? that was me :} | 11:39 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: 75baud then. good lucj | 11:39 |
| imbecile | bazhang: how'd u get it working in gnome? | 11:39 |

| s_v_e_1 | hao many space do you have now ? | 11:40 |
| bazhang | imbecile: install it from the repos, then get some widgets | 11:40 |
| * Take0n hello | 11:40 | |
| soldats | wow i didnt know cantenna had that range | 11:40 |
| s_v_e_1 | mozart: the dat aschold be fine, you only took some reservations away that you wont need | 11:40 |
| mozart | s_v_e_1: an admin just posted here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3961099#post3961099 from what i make out he says that its a needed 7 GB space | 11:40 |

| wols | s_v_e_1: highly dependent on a lot of things tho, but I doubt the handset is different | 11:41 |
| imbecile | bazhang: I installed from repos. maybe im doing something wrong. I installed one but it wont show up on my desktop | 11:41 |
| bazhang | Krin: nice | 11:41 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: I'll look into it,, I think you are right,, but if so I'm surprised it's not more widespread | 11:41 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: what being widespread? wlan like this? look up mesh networks | 11:41 |
| bazhang | imbecile: did you go into the superkaramba applet and choose install new? | 11:42 |

| bushido89 | Heya :) | 11:44 |
| Take0n | I would like to add Computer etc. but don't remember how | 11:44 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: just that it's talking to /dev/modem0 /dev/dsp seems so close,, | 11:44 |
| hang3r | wols, what I mean is, changing WORKGROUP in the samba config to the domains name allows other machines on the domain to see it | 11:44 |
| wols | new2ubuntu: /dev/modem0 is a ttyS0 device. not a sound device, even if modems make sounds on the line | 11:45 |
| Take0n | I would also like to change themes add themes etc but the website that used to host a themesomething isn't working anymore so I don't know what to do about that | 11:45 |

| OIM | is there a code to make amarok turkish | 11:46 |
| new2ubuntu | wols: the software I found connects 2 computers via null modem connection then plays the audio over the speaker, the idea was to add noise to test the connection | 11:46 |
| mozart | s_v_e_1: well it looks like i didnt win any space really, tthe available size still shows as the same | 11:46 |
| wols | OIM: should do it by default if you have the correct locale | 11:46 |

| new2ubuntu | TakeOn: different desktops, KDE is more flashy, Gnome is more simple. Linux users typically really like only one or the other. | 11:57 |
| Take0n | what should I choose? | 11:58 |
| Take0n | how do I see if I am using kde or gnome? | 11:58 |
| Vinno | KDE IS more chucky and ugly, designed for younger generation | 11:58 |
| MichaelSammels | TakeOn, GNOME is good for advanced, and KDE for beginners. | 11:58 |
| Vinno | gnome is mroe pro and sleek looking | 11:58 |
| new2ubuntu | TakeOn: it involves the start menu, and some times the software | 11:58 |
| brobostigon | kde is bigger, cumbersome and huge, gnome is smaller and more simple | 11:58 |

| whalesalad | hey guys, my coworker installed 7.04 PPc on his mac mini and then just did an upgrade to 7.10 and everything seems to be broken. he can't get into x. he just tried startx and it said something about "radeon 0 no valid modes, screens found but none have a usable configuration" | 12:03 |
| Take0n | could that be why I can't hear a thing (no sound) | 12:03 |
| knightwise | Hey dudes | 12:03 |
| velko | bushido89, take a close look at the stanza name (the line starting with "title") so you know which entry you have modified | 12:04 |
| whalesalad | TakeOn: if you have onboard audio yes that might be your problem | 12:04 |
| wols | whalesalad: pastbein the Xorg.0.log file | 12:04 |

| knightwise | Anyone have experience with an NC6000 from HP and Gutsy | 12:04 |
| wols | whalesalad: what driver did he use before for X? | 12:04 |
| sukru | slm. sunucuda Türkçe yazan veya konuşan arkadaşlar varmı | 12:04 |
| velko | bushido89, for experimentig its probably best to copy one stanza and modify it | 12:04 |
| new2ubuntu | TakeOn: I had that and I went into the BIOS disabled the quick boot and it went away, | 12:04 |
| bushido89 | So, I just paste is on the same line, with no line-break? | 12:04 |
| velko | bushido89, instead of messing around with these who work | 12:04 |
| whalesalad | wols: not sure, just a default 7.04 configuration. he's opening up that log file right now. | 12:04 |
| bushido89 | *So, I just paste is on the same line, with no line-break, velko? | 12:04 |
| Take0n | by onboard you mean builtin (I have a laptop) ? | 12:04 |
| === imbecile_ is now known as new2ubuntu_ | ||
| new2ubuntu | TakeOn: I suspect if I renabled the quick boot it would work again,, | 12:04 |
| nixi | no one using powernowd? | 12:05 |
| whalesalad | wols: also, fyi, same issue occured when he tried to boot the 7.10 installer disc. so, we tried 7.04 installer and it worked so we thought we would just update it to gutsy | 12:05 |
| wols | whalesalad: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg change the driver to vesa | 12:05 |
| velko | bushido89, i would suggest to copy the whole stanza (the 4 or 5 lines) to paste them at the end of the file | 12:05 |
| velko | bushido89, and to paste the options you need at the end of the "kernel" line of the new stanza | 12:05 |
| Take0n | new2ubuntu will that affect Vista? | 12:05 |
| bushido89 | After ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST, velko? Sorry for being so anal, but I'm very new to all this. | 12:05 |
| Take0n | I have 2 partitions with 2 os; vista and ubuntu | 12:05 |
| velko | bushido89, yes | 12:06 |

| MikeH | Hi guys, I've just apt-get'ed a load of stuff, and it wants to get some from cdrom, is it just a case of removing cdrom entries from sources.list? | 12:06 |
| whalesalad | MikeH: yep | 12:06 |
| velko | bushido89, can you show me the modified "kernel" line you just composed before rebooting? | 12:06 |
| wols | whalesalad: then he should patebin the log | 12:06 |
| bazhang | yes MikeH | 12:06 |
| Take0n | gnome = gdm and kde = kdm ? | 12:07 |

| whalesalad | wols: yeah, what does that mean? | 12:14 |
| whalesalad | wols: run that dpkg-reconfigure command? will that fix that? | 12:14 |

| Filled-Void | bullgard4, Isnt the name Screen Resolution itself? | 12:24 |
| Chousuke | corporeal: I'd say the weight is more on the desktop side, but it's just fine as a server too | 12:24 |
| stefg | markvandenborre: not really. What happened to me was taht the them i was using on 2.18 cused 2.20 to crash... | 12:24 |
| ^root^ | Filled-Void, its already the newst version... | 12:24 |
| rsk | corporeal: that's somewhat correct | 12:24 |
| corporeal | rsk: whereas im saying its marketed mostly as, and developed mostly as, a desktop os, with work focusing on user-facing things | 12:24 |
| markvandenborre | stefg: how did you get to that? | 12:24 |
| Filled-Void | ^root^, :( one sec let me check something | 12:24 |
| markvandenborre | I mean, how did you find out? | 12:24 |

| wols | mmaniaci: (hd0,2) | 12:28 |
| mmaniaci | But it is not hd0 | 12:28 |
| markvandenborre | stefg: the default one on gutsy | 12:28 |

| wols | mmaniaci: then it'S (hd1,2) | 12:29 |
| mmaniaci | even if it is referenced as "sda"? | 12:29 |

| stefg | !firestarter | bixbox | 12:33 |
| ubotu | bixbox: 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). | 12:33 |
| jacob | ubutu-lover, i can help | 12:33 |
| whalesalad | Firestarter is a rad app, i remember that from the good ol days | 12:34 |
| wols | BixBox: give the two interlan nick each a static IP in a different subnet. install ipmasq and you are done | 12:34 |
| wols | whalesalad: why would you reboot? | 12:34 |

| s_v_e_1 | nixi: im not quite shure. if not there than you cat set it in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq | 12:35 |
| s_v_e_1 | just echo "120000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq | 12:35 |
| ArseneLupin | i have a problem with gutsy installtion | 12:35 |
| ubuntu-lover | i tried wicd but no success | 12:35 |
| jacob | did you install a fresh new version of ubuntu and the driver that came with ubuntu installed, but cannot access the internet? | 12:35 |
| ubuntu-lover | yea updated 7.10 | 12:36 |
| BixBox | what u mean with subnet? example, the IP 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.2.2, right? | 12:36 |
| nixi | s_v | 12:36 |
| wols | BixBox: yes | 12:36 |
| ArseneLupin | anyone listening herte guys, | 12:36 |
| wols | BixBox: if your netmask is 255.255.255.0 that is | 12:36 |
| nixi | s_v_e_1: hm, but this is just the max frequence.. | 12:36 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, i want to connect to your computer remotely if you allow me to so i can fix the problem for you | 12:36 |
| wols | and I'd give each interface the .1 IP and each client the .2 one | 12:36 |
| BixBox | ok, thank you | 12:37 |
| ubuntu-lover | i see wireless stations but when i say connect ,it fails | 12:37 |
| s_v_e_1 | nixi: there is also "min" and have allok at cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies | 12:37 |
| Filled-Void | !ask |ArseneLupin | 12:37 |
| ubotu | ArseneLupin: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 12:37 |
| ubuntu-lover | how remote conn | 12:37 |
| ArseneLupin | ok | 12:37 |
| wols | BixBox: if you want a DHCP server, look at dnsmasq | 12:37 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, just follow the following procedure | 12:37 |
| ubuntu-lover | ok | 12:37 |
| linduxed | how do i change the theme of kde apps (like amarok and konversation) without having KDE? basically i know i can't have gnome theme im using cuz one is gtk while the other is qt but id like to know how to at least pick a somewhat similar theme... | 12:38 |

| nixi | s_v_e_1: and i can edit it without damaging the hardware? | 12:38 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, give me a sec | 12:38 |
| nixi | so, not the max value, but the min? | 12:38 |
| Pensacola | the last flash update broke flash, how can I fix this? | 12:38 |
| stefg | linduxed: you'd need to install kcontrolcenter (which will pretty much pull a full kde install as dependency) | 12:38 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, include my name in the messages you send me so i can see the message marked in red | 12:39 |
| s_v_e_1 | nixi: cou cant edit availible_frequalencies, but you cat sat min and max | 12:39 |
| ArseneLupin | 1 for win dp ,2nd formatted edt3 ,a swap ,and 4th formatted ntfs for my data | 12:39 |
| ArseneLupin | i installed win dp | 12:39 |
| ArseneLupin | mean winxp | 12:39 |
| Filled-Void | Pensacola, I think reinstalling the flashplugin-nonfree might fix it but you might want to to wait for others | 12:39 |
| ubuntu-lover | ok | 12:39 |
| ^root^ | Filled-Void, When i try to run Bluetooth-applet, i get Could not open location 'file://Bluetooth-applet' The Location or file couldnt nt be found! | 12:40 |
| s_v_e_1 | nixi: just gevi me second to start my petium mashine, to see how ive done | 12:40 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, go to system > Preferences > and then click on Remote Desktop | 12:40 |
| ^root^ | Filled-Void, While following your second link | 12:40 |
| ArseneLupin | then when i booted on gutsy live cd ,it only sees the xhole hard drive (as a whole ) ,it doesnt see the diiferent partitons | 12:40 |
| nixi | s_v_e_1: its just, when i chance the min frequence from 1000000 to 800000 it will not damage the hardware..? | 12:40 |
| Filled-Void | ^root^, You have this bluez-gnome gnome-bluetooth gnome-vfs-obexftp installed? | 12:40 |
| bkraptor | does anyone else have problems with Power-Off_Retract_Count increasing on each shutdown with Gutsy? | 12:41 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, tell me when your done | 12:41 |
| ^root^ | Filled-Void, Yes, all the newest versions! | 12:41 |
| ArseneLupin | although i can mouhnt each one of the partitions | 12:41 |
| ArseneLupin | my hard drive is not sata | 12:41 |
| ArseneLupin | any solutions, | 12:41 |
| ubuntu-lover | yes | 12:41 |
| s_v_e_1 | nixi: you should only shoose from cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies | 12:42 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, check on "Allow other users to view your desktop" | 12:42 |
| stefg | ArseneLupin: are you using 'Dynamic Disks' in windows? what does 'sudo fdisk -l yield ? | 12:42 |
| linduxed | stefg: any lightweight way though? i did install kde earlier and uninstalled it later but the theme stayed so there must be some way.... | 12:42 |
| ubuntu-lover | hey man how can i trust u | 12:42 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover yes, i'm only 17 | 12:43 |
| Filled-Void | ^root^, try small b | 12:43 |
| wols | whalesalad: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 12:43 |
| ubuntu-lover | lol 17 saves u? | 12:43 |
| jacob | ubuntup-lover, did you check the box? | 12:43 |
| ubuntu-lover | no | 12:43 |
| stefg | linduxed: you could try to edit the config files with a text editor .... but taht's not quite realistic | 12:43 |
| ubuntu-lover | another way pls | 12:43 |
| ArseneLupin | stefg ,am not on ubuntu now | 12:44 |
| ArseneLupin | so i cant edactly tell you | 12:44 |
| nixi | s_v_e_1: hm, but there the min is 1ghz... | 12:44 |
| linduxed | stefg: well ill try that before downloading and installing kde | 12:44 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, check on "Allow other users to view your desktop" you can easily gain controll back when you press the esc key | 12:44 |
| s_v_e_1 | nixi: 1GHz - thats it | 12:44 |
| ^root^ | Filled-Void, that made two bluetooth icons in the system tray where there was one already! | 12:44 |
| nixi | s_v_e_1: i cant get lower? | 12:44 |
| ubuntu-lover | sorry man | 12:45 |
| stefg | ArseneLupin: so my guess is that you are using 'Dynamic disks'. this doesn't use a ms-dos compatible partition table, so the ubuntu installer can't read it | 12:45 |
| Osiris__ | hi | 12:45 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, that's ok | 12:45 |
| ubuntu-lover | thanks | 12:45 |
| ArseneLupin | stefg:i used the gutsy live cd ,defore ,and it captured my different partions (before i make the changes with gparted ) ,if tath can help | 12:45 |
| Filled-Void | ^root^, gah does it let you continue through the process? | 12:45 |
| nirmal | hello all | 12:45 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, we'll take the long method then | 12:45 |
| ubuntu-lover | ok | 12:45 |
| === Osiris__ is now known as Habitat | ||
| ^root^ | Filled-Void, Nope, i can bond it :( | 12:45 |
| s_v_e_1 | nixi: i suppose not only availible. newer cpus dont have so mush frequalcies | 12:45 |
| ubuntu-lover | tell me am average on ubuntu | 12:45 |
| ArseneLupin | ok stefg :how can i fix that? | 12:45 |
| stefg | ArseneLupin: so the partitions were there, then you used gparted, then thy were gone ? | 12:45 |
| === Habitat is now known as Habitat4Live | ||
| Filled-Void | ^root^, :( Im clueless at this point. can you get your computer to pair with your phone ? | 12:46 |
| ArseneLupin | stefg:the partions are seen with the live cd ,i can mount them | 12:46 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover go to System>Preferences>Hardware Information | 12:46 |
| nirmal | i recently instally Ubuntu 7.10 on on laptop HP Pavillion Dv6516 TX. Its not detecting my sound card.. | 12:46 |
| Filled-Void | Filled-Void, If I understand correctly you are doing the pairing from your phone correct? | 12:46 |
| ubuntu-lover | ok | 12:46 |
| Filled-Void | ^root^, ^ | 12:46 |
| ArseneLupin | but when i i pass to installation ,the partions program sees only the whole disk | 12:46 |
| stefg | ArseneLupin: so far, so good. so what's the problem then, i don't understand | 12:47 |
| ubuntu-lover | yea i did | 12:47 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, i need to know the name of your wireless to download the driver and blacklist the one you have | 12:47 |
| ubuntu-lover | asus laptop broadcom 43xx | 12:48 |
| Filled-Void | ArseneLupin, Have you already formatted everything as ext3 , swap, ntfs . Cause I dont think ntfs will show up by default you might want to confirm this and your swap wont show either | 12:48 |
| ArseneLupin | the problem is that when i pass to installation ,i choose manual partionning ,but i only see the whole disk ,i can't see the edt3 and swap partions that i made with gparted | 12:48 |
| Cursed_6_ds | Filled-Void, I am ^root^ | 12:48 |
| nirmal | how to check whether my sound card is being detected or not.. | 12:48 |
| nixi | s_v_e_1: hmpf.. ok thx.. | 12:48 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover, go to the terminal and type "sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" exactly as it is | 12:49 |
| stefg | ArseneLupin: so it seems that gParted ate your partition table for breakfast. It might be broken in an odd way, so gParted still knows what is what, but the installer doesn't. To be on the safe side i'd do a backup first of all important data... broken partition tables can be ugly | 12:49 |

| jenda | How do I save a page for offline use in firefox? | 13:37 |
| stib | is there a linux tool for defragging NTFS volumes? I'd like to defrag my windows system partition | 13:37 |
| jacob | ubuntu-lover you still there, i got the alternative | 13:38 |
| vorian | jenda, file>save page | 13:39 |
| vorian | and hello | 13:39 |
| stib | jenda: does save page as from the file menu not work for you? | 13:39 |
| revered | stib: http://www.supershareware.com/software/ntfs-defragment.html ? | 13:39 |
| jenda | vorian: really? So simple? I thought that just saves it into a file somewhere. | 13:39 |
| vorian | who knows of some kick arse opensource map software (like streetmaps) | 13:39 |
| vorian | jenda, it save the complete page | 13:40 |
| jacob | once you download the exe file go to the directory where it is located it at and type cabextract 63wb03ww.exe | 13:40 |
| jenda | and indeed it does | 13:40 |
| jenda | vorian, stib: What I had in mind was a way to save the page in such a way that the next time I try to access the URL, Firefox loads the saved content instead of having to go online. | 13:40 |
| jenda | Or only does that if it cannot find a connection. | 13:40 |
| revered | guys i have a connection problem on ubuntu feisty.. can anyone help me? | 13:40 |

| stib | revered: ta, but I can't see any linux defraggers, only windows ones | 13:42 |
| revered | k.. i thought that was a linux one :/ | 13:43 |
| tumbleweed__ | there's a reason for that | 13:43 |
| tumbleweed__ | most of linux's filesystems don't need them | 13:44 |
| bazhang | ext3 for example | 13:44 |
| wols | stib: defrag | 13:45 |
| revered | can't find any either, stib.. looks like you'll have to do it from windoze | 13:45 |
| stib | tumbleweed__:yes sure, but I can unmount my windows partition and defrag the files I normally can't move if I booot from linux | 13:45 |
| wols | and under certain (possibly contrived) circumstances, defragging is a good thing: e.g. bittorrent sparse files on 99% full harddisks | 13:45 |

| smithw | bazhang, I never even knew about top. I was stuck in the "ps aux" until now :) very good tool, and yes, it's updatedb the culprit, it seems. | 14:06 |

| ricanelite_ | is it possible to use Linux on a LCD HDTV via HDMI to DVI Cable? | 14:06 |
| NeT_DeMoN | bazhang: is there any way i could repaire it? | 14:07 |
| bazhang | !sound | NeT_DeMoN | 14:07 |
| ubotu | NeT_DeMoN: 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 | 14:07 |
| NeT_DeMoN | huh | 14:07 |
| kelsin | ricanelite_: yes | 14:07 |
| Zombie | ricanelite_: I do that, but I usse Mandriva, not Ubuntu on that particular machine. | 14:07 |
| ricanelite_ | okay | 14:07 |

| bazhang | NeT_DeMoN: those cards are very well supported on ubuntu--just a fix will do it likely | 14:10 |
| NeT_DeMoN | bazhang: and how do i do it | 14:10 |
| zobban | hi i have a movie.mpg how do i burn into an emtpy cd700mb so ican play it on my dvd player | 14:10 |
| bazhang | smithw: I don't even know what that does :} | 14:10 |
| NeT_DeMoN | bazhang: sorry, im a noob so thanks for helping | 14:10 |
| qwaz | zobban, Nvu | 14:11 |
| zobban | what is that | 14:11 |
| bazhang | NeT_DeMoN: did you look at those links that quickly? :} | 14:11 |
| qwaz | zobban, a cd/dvd burning application | 14:11 |
| zobban | yes i have cd burner | 14:11 |
| NeT_DeMoN | bazhang: its still loading | 14:11 |
| zobban | but how do i burn it which program to use and how to burn it | 14:11 |
| qwaz | zobban, i didn't ask if you had a butner | 14:11 |
| qwaz | zobban, i just gave you an application to use | 14:12 |
| bazhang | NeT_DeMoN: you should really read through those first :} | 14:12 |
| qwaz | zobban, Nvu | 14:12 |
| zobban | so i can install this sudo apt-get install nvu | 14:12 |
| qwaz | zobban, try it and see if it's in the repositories | 14:12 |
| smithw | bazhang, what I know it does is that it updates the "locate" db, so that it have all the files in the system updated... What I don't know is whether it does anything else... | 14:12 |
| zobban | yes it started to downloaed | 14:13 |
| bazhang | !info updatedb | 14:13 |

| qwaz | zobban, now use it... | 14:15 |
| qwaz | zobban, start moving your mouse around the program...clicking your left mouse button on menus and stuff | 14:16 |
| ompaul | smithw, it does little else - just use it with -i to get it to ignore case and that is about as interesting as it can be - man locate or updatedb for more info :) | 14:16 |

| pianoboy3333 | I copied all of my files (/) over to another hard drive so I could have more space, everything works, but now sudo fails, when I try and execute a command with sudo I get "sudo: must be setuid root", so is there anyway to reset sudo or something? | 14:39 |
| LjL | pianoboy3333, you probably copied without preserving permissions, which means that *much* more than sudo is broken now. | 14:40 |

| pianoboy3333 | LjL should I can boot the computer in rescue mode and change permissions for me to use it, if those aren't correct | 14:48 |
| LjL | pianoboy3333, "root root" is already a good thing, although there's certainly the suid missing. but if that's missing, there's bound to be other things missing... that's my reasoning. | 14:48 |

| pianoboy3333 | ljl: -rwxr-xr-x 1 daemon daemon 38464 2007-02-20 08:41 /usr/bin/at | 14:49 |
| KalEl | (i already asked my friend to change to Ubuntu but that didn't work...) | 14:49 |

| openmindDJ | anyone know how to fix this error on logginh in? "Refusing to initialize GTK+" | 14:50 |

| Enselic | jrib: thanks | 14:53 |
| Enselic | martyyyr: did you poke with alsamixer settings? | 14:53 |
| kelsin | andre__: according to apt file (if you isntalled the dev package) it should be at /usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm.h | 14:53 |
| kelsin | andre__: so try including it in your file as "gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm.h" | 14:53 |
| martyyyr | Enselic: I didn't do anything yet, I don't know where to start | 14:54 |
| kelsin | andre__: if that doesn't work I recommend asking in ##c++ once you confirm the location of the .h file | 14:54 |
| LjL | pianoboy3333: « cp -rx --preserve=all / /destination-dir » should do it, though i'd like someone else to also have a look and make sure i'm not missing anything here | 14:54 |

| martyyyr | Enselic: no | 14:55 |

| Enselic | martyyyr: ok, then you can use alsamixer, the command line program | 14:56 |
| andre__ | kelsin: but now there are the same issues with other header included in gtkmm.h | 14:56 |
| Enselic | martyyyr: or you can sudo apt-get install gnome-alsa-mixer | 14:56 |
| pianoboy3333 | LjL: ok | 14:56 |
| andre__ | kelsin: sigh, hehehe I'm gonna check out ##c++ | 14:56 |
| martyyyr | Enselic: ok, I'll try that | 14:56 |
| andre__ | kelsin: tx | 14:56 |
| LjL | pianoboy3333: it's probably better to do it from a live CD, but only for the simple reason that files won't change under cp's back | 14:56 |
| Enselic | martyyyr: gnome-alsamixer was the name | 14:56 |
| kelsin | andre__: you should probably include the dir in your include path with -I option to gcc | 14:56 |
| Dregin | is there any way to wipe all of my sound drivers and start from the default ubuntu install setup? | 14:56 |

| Dregin | I tried to install alsa-drivers with a line of code edited. Compiled and installed and the whole thing died :\ | 14:57 |
| andre__ | kelsin will try | 14:57 |
| pianoboy3333 | LjL: also I think folders like proc empty out when the computer shuts down so I don't think there's any files in some of those folders | 14:57 |
| ompaul | pianoboy3333, correct - /proc is a device in memory | 14:57 |
| martyyyr | Enselic: Are the sliders supposed to be up or down? | 14:58 |
| LjL | pianoboy3333: if you do it from a live cd, yes, that's correct. but anyway, the "-x" option is there precisely to tell cp to not cross filesystem boundaries (and /proc, /sys, /dev - those "folders" that "empty out" - are separate filesystems) | 14:58 |

| Lord_Illidan | Any word on whether Gutsy will see a kernel upgrade in future? | 14:58 |
| Enselic | martyyyr: up | 14:58 |
| Enselic | martyyyr: but sometimes 70% works better | 14:59 |
| LjL | Lord_Illidan: never a new version. at most it'll see security patches | 14:59 |
| kelsin | andre__: add `pkg-config --cflas gtkmm-2.4` to your gcc command line | 14:59 |
| kelsin | andre__: with the backticks | 14:59 |
| pleasebenice | hi every1 , i've heard of the old unix rule never use your root account to to everyday work ..but when i install ubuntu and have one account which is root. does the old saying still applies or am i safe? | 14:59 |
| martyyyr | Enselic: but I don't have sound AT ALL | 14:59 |
| Lord_Illidan | LjL, ok, I thought so | 14:59 |
| andre__ | kelsin: tx for the help :) | 14:59 |
| gradin | anybody know if there is an argument that i could use to pass a password through a script? | 14:59 |
| kelsin | andre__: I misspelled that | 14:59 |
| pianoboy3333 | LjL one thing though, when I do it from the live cd, if I use /media/sda1 /media/sdb1 (for example I'm not sure what it'll actually be) I'm afraid that it would just be overwritting the folder in /media, and not actually replacing/writing to the drive | 14:59 |
| LjL | pleasebenice, the one account that you have by default on Ubuntu is *not* a root account. | 14:59 |
| kelsin | andre__: `pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4` | 14:59 |
| Lord_Illidan | pleasebenice, you don't have a root account when you install Ubuntu | 14:59 |
| jrib | pleasebenice: yes, replace "root account" with "sudo" | 14:59 |
| LjL | pianoboy3333: use /media/sda1/* /media/sdb1/ | 15:00 |

| andre__ | kelsin: I already had: `pkg-config --cfags --libs gtkmm-2.4` | 15:00 |
| Enselic | martyyyr: does the mixer show you sliders at all? | 15:00 |
| pianoboy3333 | LjL ok thank you brb lemme boot into the live cd | 15:00 |
| kelsin | pleasebenice: the root account exists, but since on ubuntu it doesn't have a password you could never "use" it | 15:00 |
| andre__ | oh shit... | 15:00 |
| Lord_Illidan | ompaul, I knew that | 15:00 |
| kelsin | andre__: lol | 15:00 |

| Lord_Illidan | Anyone tried the "Zen" kernel : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=623874 ?> | 15:03 |
| LjL | Lord_Illidan, it's hit and miss. here they worked with one version, didn't with the other, etc. but aside from touching the kernel, you can try messing with /etc/default/acpi-support, and a couple of other files i don't remember | 15:03 |
| martyyyr | Enselic: eh..Are you sure you want the whole output? It's...a lot... | 15:03 |

| abcd | Can anyone recommend any portable mp3 player ( no ipod) that runs smoothly with ubuntu and is seen as pendrive by the system without drivers ( or other stuff) installation? | 15:04 |
| kelsin | simion314: you did you "purge" the program when you removed it? apt-get purge <packagename>? | 15:04 |
| martyyyr | Enselic: http://pastebin.com/d7bbcea8c | 15:04 |
| LjL | abcd: just about any "no-brand" player will | 15:04 |
| kelsin | simion314: and then open a new terminal to check that it's not just already in memory | 15:04 |
| pleasebenice | thanks for the replies... what interactive gui firewall app are u guys using or what do recomend | 15:05 |
| bazhang | abcd: quite a number do | 15:05 |

| Lord_Illidan | pleasebenice, firestarter? | 15:05 |
| bazhang | firestarter pleasebenice | 15:05 |
| kelsin | abcd: I enjoy my sansa e260, but like LjL most non-ipods do work as usb drives | 15:05 |
| pleasebenice | i have that installed...but for some reason i can;t get bittorrent to work | 15:05 |
| pleasebenice | i'm using deluge | 15:05 |
| pjfloyd | "Cannot read /etc/fstab" not looking good | 15:05 |
| Dregin | amarok deals quite nicely with ipods doesnt it? | 15:06 |
| ompaul | !firewall | pleasebenice | 15:06 |
| ubotu | pleasebenice: 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). | 15:06 |
| Lord_Illidan | A first generation ipod nano is also nice | 15:06 |
| fizzle | does ubuntu use splashy or bootsplash? | 15:06 |
| simion314 | kelsin: it was instaled from a binary installer not from .deb | 15:06 |

| brobostigon | i a trying to run rhythmbox and it comes up with this error(Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal) what does it mean,?? | 15:06 |
| ompaul | fizzle, usplash | 15:06 |
| abcd | LjL , bazhang, kelsin: thanks | 15:06 |
| Lord_Illidan | pleasebenice, is the port reported as closed? | 15:06 |
| fizzle | ic | 15:06 |
| Lord_Illidan | Delue has a port tester | 15:06 |
| pleasebenice | i have dd-wrt and some good firewalls for my winbos's | 15:06 |
| kelsin | simion314: ouch, yeah other then checking all of you .bash files, check /etc/environment and /etc/profile for references | 15:06 |
| bazhang | no worries abcd :} | 15:06 |
| simion314 | kelsin: and the program folder is no more after uninstall but the path still contains references to that directory | 15:06 |
| jrib | zobban: mpgsplit from the "mpgtx" package would be one way | 15:07 |
| fizzle | does usplash require kernel patching? | 15:07 |
| Dregin | avidemux? | 15:07 |
| bazhang | deluge as well :} | 15:07 |
| ompaul | !usplash | fizzle | 15:07 |
| ubotu | fizzle: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 15:07 |
| zobban | so can i do sudo apt-get install mpgsplit | 15:07 |
| martyyyr | Enselic: Did you catch that? (no rush, just checking) | 15:07 |
| kelsin | simion314: it might take a while to finish but you can run "grep -R <dir-name> *" in /etc and "grep -R <dir-name> .*" in your home dir to maybe find what's referencing it | 15:07 |
| jrib | zobban: no, mpgtx is the package | 15:07 |
| Dregin | do apt-cache search mgsplit | 15:07 |
| fizzle | eh i was just wondering, because i use bootsplash on my distro | 15:07 |
| Dregin | see what comes back | 15:07 |
| Enselic | martyyyr: what sound card do you have? | 15:07 |
| Lord_Illidan | Dregin, nothing actually. | 15:08 |
| jrib | simion314: did you reload your shell after making the changes to bashrc? | 15:08 |
| Lord_Illidan | Or use Synaptic to search for the package | 15:08 |
| alex4821 | hi guys | 15:08 |
| simion314 | kelsin: i do not use root privilegies when i installed this program and it can't have access outside my home directory | 15:08 |
| pleasebenice | yes the prot is reporeted at close | 15:08 |
| zobban | done i installed mpgtx | 15:08 |
| kelsin | simion314: then just running a grep over all of your files to find anything referring to it is probably the best way | 15:08 |
| martyyyr | Enselic: I'm not really sure... I tried to figure that out, but I'm kinda lost on that one | 15:08 |
| simion314 | jrib: yes | 15:09 |
| zobban | how do i run it now | 15:09 |
| jrib | zobban: read 'man mpgsplit' | 15:09 |

| pleasebenice | is screen the terminal? or something else | 15:18 |
| LjL | CaptainMorgan, you don't... the *desktop* is *in* the home folder | 15:18 |
| martine_ | bert_, it's just a coincidence, apple is not to be trusted when it comes to interoperability with ipods | 15:18 |

| mhiku | which version of ubuntu doesnt require too much memory but can run wine better | 15:29 |
| jrib | zobban: pastebin the result of: ls | 15:29 |
| rsk | mhiku: fluxbuntu. but it dosent run wine better. | 15:29 |
| LjL | mhiku, Xubuntu is probably the lightest flavor that still has a GUI on it. as for running WINE, there is no difference among flavors | 15:29 |
| IgorSobreira | anybody knows a program to simple finance control? | 15:29 |
| LjL | fluxbuntu i suppose too yeah | 15:29 |
| rsk | IgorSobreira: gnucash | 15:29 |
| bazhang | gnucash IgorSobreira | 15:30 |
| mhiku | how many sec does xubuntu in bootup and only 128 mem required? | 15:30 |
| IgorSobreira | rsk, bazhang thanks,,,ill take a look | 15:30 |
| bazhang | IgorSobreira: no worries | 15:30 |
| CaptainMorgan | jrib, no it doesn't | 15:30 |
| jrib | CaptainMorgan: what doesn't what? | 15:31 |
| CaptainMorgan | gconf-editor doesn't work either.. | 15:31 |
| verb3k | IgorSobreira, gnucash is more than an advance finance solution :) | 15:31 |
| jrib | CaptainMorgan: you toggled /apps/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible in gconf-editor? | 15:32 |
| mhiku | how can i configure ubuntu to not write into the harddisk totally | 15:32 |
| rsk | mhiku: not a good idea | 15:32 |

| mhiku | write filter | 15:32 |
| CaptainMorgan | jrib, got it, thanks | 15:32 |
| jrib | CaptainMorgan: no problem | 15:32 |
| verb3k | mhiku, explain | 15:32 |
| mhiku | i mean like a volatile harddisk | 15:33 |
| kelsin | chazco: yeah if you use a filesystem that can handle it, ubuntu def can, all up to the filesystem (afaik) | 15:33 |
| mhiku | if you restart it, its like reformatted again | 15:33 |
| chazco | Ah sounds good... would probably be ext2 and a FAT32 system | 15:33 |
| bazhang | mhiku: ram? | 15:34 |
| zobban | can you help me or no | 15:34 |
| === khamael_ is now known as khamael | ||

| zeroboy | exit | 15:47 |
| zobban | now i found it on terminal Leci e Cima Lajmi nga Gyrbeti.mpg | 15:47 |
| Dr_willis | wisam, ive not really seem a way you can block a Single user from doing things that way. You could block all the torrent ports. but that would affect all users. | 15:47 |
| Acidic32 | hi, how can i setup VPS in ubuntu | 15:47 |
| Acidic32 | is there any packages for vps? | 15:47 |
| sebastian_ | hola? | 15:47 |
| jrib | zobban: use the mpgtx command then | 15:47 |
| Blissex | ubuntino: evidently there is a DHCP client that rewrites '/etc/resolv.conf' with the numbers a DHCP server sends. Which means that either the Vodafone DHCP server sends out wrong values or there is another DHCP server. | 15:47 |
| bazhang | hi sebastian_ | 15:47 |
| Kmele | why i can't load srt subtitles in movie player | 15:47 |
| sebastian_ | hiiii | 15:47 |

| KinPumpkinKing | sebastian_, hiii, just speak out your mind | 15:48 |
| Kmele | rks how to do that | 15:48 |
| Blissex | Kmele: as a rule, repeat your questions no more often than every 5 minutes. | 15:48 |
| Dr_willis | wisam, the linux firewalling rules work on 'ports' not specific executables. Not sure if you can do a per user rule either. id say check out the various iptables docs/tutoral sites | 15:48 |

| mhiku | how to make my installation of xubuntu a live cd so theres no harddisk write | 15:53 |
| Blissex | ubuntino: well, you don't give any useful information, but to get that have a look at '/var/log/messages' and check what the DHCP client writes there. | 15:53 |
| mhiku | whats the difference between alternate and a desktop? | 15:54 |
| dragonblade | so i am having trouble networking my server machine and this machine, both are on 7.10 ubuntu, anyone have any suggestiosjn | 15:57 |
| ere4si | mikhu: intel and amd comps need different modules loaded so no - alternate is command line only - for lesser comps - you need to install a window manager for it | 15:57 |
| pleasebenice | can the webui for rtorrent called "n2hell" be used without having to logging into the system and started up can it all ready be up and running at the welcome screen | 15:59 |
| Dr_willis | pleasebenice, you could alwyas run it from the rc.local script if you wanted. Be sure to use sudo to run it as a specific user. | 15:59 |
| the_professor | hi all, is anyone experienced running mu* servers? (mud/mush/etc.) ...possibly PennMUSH? i've managed to get circlemud set up (very easy) but from past experience, client-side, with pennmush i'm more experienced with that general environment and would like to run a PennMUSH server but don't know how to do simple things like just load the server application, just start it up, much less config it. :-/ | 16:00 |

| pleasebenice | i was told in this channel that root is not activated by default. but i login to my ubuntu account with the root password.if i change the default account password will my root password be hcanged as well? | 16:01 |
| ere4si | dragonblade: nfs? samba? | 16:01 |
| rsk | pleasebenice: ever heard of sudo ? | 16:02 |
| LjL | EtteSB: i think it's best to use .bashrc | 16:02 |
| erUSUL | !root | pleasebenice | 16:02 |
| ubotu | pleasebenice: 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 | 16:02 |
| Dr_willis | pleasebenice, If you make a root password. it will not be changed. | 16:02 |
| NET||abuse | rsk, what about warzone 2100 | 16:02 |
| rsk | NET||abuse: sucks last i tried it | 16:02 |
| dragonblade | some of the disks on both machines are ntfs, but the os on both are linux | 16:02 |
| bert_ | no Dr_willis, I just want to use spaces in my mount points (/media/win shared and /media/linux shared) | 16:02 |
| dragonblade | i can find windows shares via samba | 16:02 |
| EtteSB | LjL: i found it eventually :3 | 16:02 |
| dragonblade | on both machines, but neither want to talk to each other...they are both able to ping the other as well | 16:02 |
| EtteSB | NET||abuse: I'm liking warsow atm | 16:03 |
| Dr_willis | bert_, its a VERY bad idea/habbit to use spaces like that.. use Underscores if you want to linux_stuff | 16:03 |
| bert_ | yeah, I know | 16:03 |
| Dr_willis | bert_, if you are just addicted to spaces. you could link 'windows stuff' to 'windows_stuff' | 16:03 |
| bert_ | but it looks ugly on the desktop :p | 16:03 |
| ere4si | !samba | dragonblade | 16:03 |

| EtteSB | when your getting something via APT-GET. is there a way to get the recommended packages aswell? | 16:08 |

| dido^ | Is there anyone to help me to nautilus please? | 16:09 |
| EtteSB | dido^: say what the problem is then we can help you | 16:10 |
| LjL | dido^, i don't use Nautilus, but i can tell you it would be much better if you actually asked a question | 16:10 |
| dragonblade | it looked like they both referenced samba, which i thought was only meant to talk to windows shares | 16:10 |
| dido^ | Yes | 16:10 |
| ere4si | dragonblade: it is used to communicate linux boxes as well | 16:10 |
| Dr_willis | dragonblade, you can do samba-to-samba with linux machines.. but nfs may be a better way to do it. | 16:11 |
| Dr_willis | or you could use ssh. :) | 16:11 |
| _coredump_ | hi there, do i have to isntall screenlets from screenlets.org to have these fancy gnome skins or is there something in the default repos? 7.10 gutsy | 16:11 |
| Dr_willis | It all depends on what you are doing, and how much you are doing it. | 16:11 |
| NET||abuse | stojic, what's tasprint? | 16:12 |
| NET||abuse | taspring | 16:12 |
| Dr_willis | dragonblade, if using samba and windows shares a lot. You may want to check out the fusesmb tool also. | 16:12 |
| tony_math | I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 and having problems mounting my Minolta Dimage E223. It used to work under Feisty before the upgrade to Gutsy. When I type in lsusb, I can see that the camera is recognized. | 16:12 |

| dragonblade | i will check those out then and see what i can dig up on nfs...i was going to remote admin the server machine from here, its just a file server...maybe turn it into a teamspeak server for lans and a myth box, but mostly its just going to be a fileserver | 16:12 |
| dido^ | and I must to force nautilus to quit | 16:13 |
| dido^ | EtteSB: you understand ? | 16:14 |

| Dr_willis | shamas, click on the icon i think. :) i forget - its been a while. | 16:17 |
| Dr_willis | shamas, it also depends if its a LAUNCHER you are talking about.. or a specific data type file | 16:17 |

| martine_ | I need help troubleshooting an irresponsive nautilus | 16:19 |
| tony_math | shamas: If you right click on the icon, then select properties, then on the tab that reads "Basic" there's a button next to the name. Click on that to select a custom icon. | 16:19 |
| baya | is there any way to make gnome remember the position of an application? | 16:19 |
| martine_ | nautilus frequently becomes totally irresponsive at random moments | 16:19 |
| martine_ | this is on a freshly installed 7.10 machine, with a homedir copied over from an older ubuntu version | 16:20 |
| ere4si | baya: is it firefox you're having an issue with/ | 16:20 |
| nikin | anyone experienced big rendering slowdown after installing firefox 2.0.11? | 16:20 |
| === jussi01_ is now known as jussi01 | ||
| shamas | tony_math, thanks | 16:20 |
| kitche | martine_: it could be due to the fact that the newrer nautilus does not understand the old format sicne config files can change sometimes | 16:20 |
| baya | ere4si: well, firefox and other applications | 16:20 |
| Niklas_25 | . | 16:20 |
| NET||abuse | what kinda sys requirements would i have for taspring? i've only a fairly old lappy,, intel915GMS express graphics card in it. | 16:20 |
| === Niklas_25 is now known as Camish | ||
| === Camish is now known as Camish2 | ||
| martine_ | kitche, exactly, so how do I find out more about that? | 16:21 |
| martine_ | I've already tried to move the old .nautilus out of the way | 16:21 |
| ere4si | baya: been trying to get firefox to open at the left of the desktop for months - most other apps open where they were closed | 16:21 |
| SpookyET | SBackup is weird. It fills up /var to 100% then fails instead of incrementally uploading | 16:21 |
| Dr_willis | when keeping old home dirs.ive ioften had to remove the .kde and .gnome dirs to 'reset' gnome and kde back to the new defaults. | 16:21 |
| baya | ere4si: firefox always opens at the left of the desktop for me..i don't want it to though :p | 16:22 |
| Xima1 | is it possible to get vmware to install a ... modem or pcmcia card and control it from within the virtual machine ? | 16:22 |
| martine_ | kitche, any suggestions? | 16:22 |
| kitche | martine_: nope since you did what I was going to suggest but I would move the .gnome folder to a backup and restart gnome or something as well | 16:23 |
| Xima1 | i mean .. is it possible guys ? | 16:23 |
| ere4si | baya: how did that happen? - just checking the configuration editor for options under metacity | 16:23 |
| sebastian | hola? | 16:23 |
| sebastian | hi | 16:23 |
| bazhang | Xima1: to install or to see? | 16:24 |
| erUSUL | !es | sebastian | 16:24 |
| ubotu | sebastian: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 16:24 |
| Xima1 | to get it to see it and install it from within the vmmachine bazhang | 16:24 |
| Xima1 | and if it works.. allow the actual machine that controls the vmachine to use the virtual installed oss' internet | 16:24 |
| baya | ere4si: that seems to be the default setting.. i haven't changed anything that i know of at least. i'm pretty new to this stuff - what is metacity? | 16:24 |
| martine_ | kitche, .gnome contains evolution stuff as well | 16:24 |
| bazhang | Xima1: not sure what you are trying to do | 16:24 |
| martine_ | (and .gnome2 too) | 16:24 |
| Xima1 | I want to install my sprint card to my virtual machine right ? therefor to share the connection from my virtual machine to my actual machine | 16:25 |
| kitche | martine_: yes that's ebcuase it's part of gnome and your point being? | 16:25 |
| bazhang | Xima1: to a windows vm? | 16:25 |
| Xima1 | yes | 16:25 |
| martine_ | kitche, I'd rather be able to solve it in a different way if possible | 16:25 |
| ere4si | baya: it is the window manager in ubuntu - but I can't find any option to control where apps open... | 16:25 |
| kitche | martine_: well then reinstall is your only real way then | 16:25 |
| martine_ | kitche, how would reinstall help me? | 16:25 |
| kitche | martine_: or recompile nutilius | 16:25 |
| bazhang | Xima1: ah, I see; to get a net connection from within the vm to share with the host os | 16:26 |
| martine_ | this is a fresh install | 16:26 |
| Xima1 | yes bazhang | 16:26 |
| martine_ | and recompiling nautilus? | 16:26 |
| kitche | martine_: well not reall a fresh install if your using old config files | 16:26 |
| martine_ | kitche, I agree on that one | 16:26 |
| baya | ere4si: does compiz replace metacity ? | 16:26 |
| ere4si | baya: I don't do compiz - but I would think so | 16:27 |
| Blissex | ubuntino_: your log shows several problems... | 16:27 |
| Camish2 | Am having a problem that my server (ubuntu 7.10 server) is crashing/freezes when I download alot with rtorrent/libtorrent. Yes, the crash is because of rtorrent but ubuntu should not crash so hard it does because of a program. Am looking for help troubleshoot this. I have heard about "klog console" but I don't know what it is. Nothing special can be seen in /var/log/messages. Please advice | 16:27 |
| Blissex | ubuntino_: apart from the permissions on the 'secrets' files... | 16:27 |
| Blissex | ubuntino_: 'Could not determine remote IP address: defaulting to 10.64.64.64' sounds worrying. | 16:28 |
| Xima1 | i'm considering using a windows machine/pc to host the connection ... to my router in the living room.. not sure if i wanna though .. ughh | 16:28 |
| EtteSB | anyone here play nquake? is it only available for linux via the source code? | 16:28 |
| ubuntino_ | Blissex: i've unchecked that | 16:28 |
| Blissex | ubuntino_: and replacing the default route is not a good idea usually. | 16:28 |
| tony_math | still having problems getting my Minolta camera to mount in Gutsy. When I run lsusb I get the following: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0686:4017 Minolta Co., Ltd. | 16:29 |
| ubuntino_ | Blissex: should i remove the app and try connecting through network-manager? | 16:29 |
| Blissex | ubuntino_: also your firewall seemss to be blocking traffic to/from the PPP0 interface. | 16:29 |
| tony_math | But there's nothing at the mount point | 16:29 |

| ubotu | |Tyz|: Пожалуйста войдите в #ubuntu-ru для помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke | 16:30 |
| kitche | !iptables | ubuntino_ | 16:31 |
| ubotu | ubuntino_: 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). | 16:31 |
| bazhang | Xima1: I'm trying to figure this out | 16:31 |
| |Tyz| | подскажите: под кубунтой с лайф диска сделал sudo aptitude install build-esential, далее мне нужно посчитать экспоненту, а в math.h нету описания функции exp, как сие можно решить? | 16:31 |
| Xima1 | i am too | 16:31 |
| Xima1 | going to install my vmachine in linux on my laptop/compile it rather ;) | 16:31 |
| wols | |Tyz|: if you want help here: english ONLY. if you want to speak russion, ubotu told you where to go | 16:32 |

| Xima1 | bazhang .. is it also possible to do an usb to ethernet rj45 connector with a pcmcia card going to the usb to ethernet dongle .. | 16:32 |
| bazhang | Xima1: just the one computer connected to the router? | 16:32 |
| Xima1 | connected to the wan port .. of a router.. | 16:32 |
| Xima1 | i mean it's a thought | 16:32 |

| bap290 | Does anyone know about SDL Image Library? | 16:33 |
| bazhang | Xima1: there is internet connection sharing, but you need more than a single computer to share heh | 16:33 |
| ere4si | pete: try sudo apt-get or synaptic | 16:33 |
| Xima1 | yeah | 16:33 |
| ubuntino_ | Blissex: after disabling firestarter, got the web (firefox) working. Any hints on how to solve those "holes"? | 16:33 |
| Xima1 | well see... im going to see if it's possible to get a external pcmcia to usb card.. | 16:34 |
| wols | ubuntino_: why do you use firestarter? | 16:34 |
| Xima1 | then get the usb to ethernet dongle.. | 16:34 |
| Xima1 | and plpug the ethernet into my router's wan port | 16:34 |
| Xima1 | then setup pppoe | 16:34 |
| bap290 | I'm trying to install a game and it says SDL Image Library failed. | 16:34 |
| wols | Xima1: eek! | 16:34 |
| Xima1 | :) | 16:34 |
| wols | Xima1: there a pcmcia ethernet cards | 16:34 |
| pete_ | ere4si: I tryed that but they are not in there :S | 16:34 |
| wisam | any one has a PS3? | 16:34 |
| Xima1 | no wols... wrong end to this conversation.. | 16:34 |
| bazhang | Xima1: why not just use two ethernet cables to the router? | 16:34 |
| void^ | pete_: there's a libogre14 package | 16:35 |
| Xima1 | hmm | 16:35 |
| ubuntino_ | wols: what do you suggest? | 16:35 |
| pete_ | ah ha! | 16:35 |
| Xima1 | lemme put it this way baz.. | 16:35 |
| ere4si | pete_: the asearch button in synaptic found nothing? | 16:35 |
| pete_ | that is true, nothing | 16:35 |
| wols | ubuntino_: why do you need a firewall? | 16:35 |
| bazhang | Xima1: not clear on the number of computers behind the router | 16:35 |
| Xima1 | check ur pm window bazhang | 16:36 |
| bap290 | anyone? "I'm trying to install a game and it says SDL Image Library failed." | 16:36 |
| wols | pete_: you can't find libpng? | 16:36 |
| tony_math | shamas: I don't know where you'd find that documentation. What are you trying to do? Change themes? | 16:36 |
| bazhang | Xima1: you registered? | 16:36 |
| wols | bap290: do you have the lib installed? | 16:36 |
| ere4si | pete_: then have a look at sourceforge.com | 16:36 |
| Xima1 | yeah | 16:36 |
| Xima1 | u ? | 16:36 |
| bap290 | idk... I'm a new user of linux | 16:36 |
| burn_ | how do i play .rvmb files? | 16:36 |
| pete_ | Yeah that will be my next step | 16:36 |
| bazhang | yup, no pm seen | 16:36 |
| wols | pete_: what exactly is missing? | 16:37 |
| Blissex | ubuntino_: there are lots of apps that setup a PPP connection. I personally configure it manually, so I don't know which one is likely to work best for you. For some time in the past I used 'wvdial', which | 16:37 |
| shamas | tony_math, yes icon themes | 16:37 |
| pete_ | I hope nothing now that I have the libogre14 downloading | 16:37 |
| wols | ubuntino_: do you use pppoe or dialup? | 16:37 |
| burn_ | hi guys, how to i play .rmvb files on Ubuntu? | 16:37 |
| ubuntino_ | wols: both | 16:38 |
| bap290 | wols: How would I install the library? | 16:38 |
| wols | ubuntino_: either or, can't be both | 16:38 |
| wols | bap290: like you install everything else | 16:38 |
| bazhang | burn_: real player | 16:38 |
| bap290 | wols: I mean where do I get it from? | 16:39 |
| ubuntino_ | Blissex: what files do i have to check to get my connection secure? That 10.64.64.64 issue... | 16:39 |
| burn_ | bazhang: been trying to install it | 16:39 |
| wols | bap290: same answer. where you get all your other packages from | 16:39 |
| Xima1 | did u get all of it bazhang ? | 16:39 |
| SpookyET | My /boot is extended instead of primary. I heard that's bad. However, in 2007, should not it be recoverable should something happen? | 16:39 |
| wols | SpookyET: it's not | 16:39 |
| bap290 | wols: the internet I guess... | 16:39 |
| wols | bap290: from the ubuntu repos! | 16:39 |
| bap290 | wols: what is that? | 16:39 |
| SpookyET | wols: really? | 16:39 |
| bazhang | Xima1: no pm seen--why not tell me here or set up channel #Xima1 | 16:40 |
| wols | bap290: how do you install stuff in ubuntu? | 16:40 |
| bap290 | wols: some command that I find online... lol | 16:40 |
| void^ | pete_: you also need a number of other things to compile ogre apps yourself, libogre-dev, libois-dev and similar | 16:40 |
| Xima1 | i'll do it in pastebin.ca ... brb | 16:40 |
| pete_ | oh | 16:41 |
| wols | bap290: then maybe you should learn about synaptic, apt-get and all their friends | 16:41 |
| bazhang | ok | 16:41 |
| tony_math | shamas: There's a FAQ on the art-gnome site at: http://art.gnome.org/faq.php | 16:41 |
| Blissex | ubuntino_: try running 'pppd' with the 'debug; option to see why the other side is not sending its address. | 16:41 |
| adamski84 | just installed ubuntu,new to it all,cannot install updates | 16:41 |
| bap290 | wols: u don't know where do u? | 16:41 |
| wols | bap290: if you think so, have a nice day. good bye | 16:41 |
| adamski84 | telling me this E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 16:42 |
| adamski84 | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 16:42 |
| bazhang | adamski84: open up synaptic and enable the repositories, then reload, then apply updates | 16:42 |
| SpookyET | Can someone explain how SBackup works? | 16:42 |
| bap290 | wols: I was just asking where I can learn about them... | 16:42 |
| ubuntino_ | Blissex: ok. Thanks. Ill check the ip on windowse config | 16:42 |
| wols | adamski84: then do what the helpful message says. as root | 16:42 |
| adamski84 | log in as a superuser? | 16:42 |
| SpookyET | It seems it wants to backup the entire system to a backup file then upload it instead of creating many small archives so it won't run out of space. | 16:42 |
| wols | adamski84: you stopped dpkg while a package was installing or it had an error while isntalling | 16:42 |
| wols | adamski84: use sudo | 16:43 |
| magnetron | !sudo | 16:43 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 16:43 |
| bap290 | wols: It's people like you that discourage people from using linux | 16:43 |
| wisam | sudo -i | 16:43 |
| pete_ | void^: I am starting to download libogre-dev and libois-dev, After that will I be able to use the Orge Library? | 16:43 |
| ubuntino_ | Blissex. one more question. It seems ubuntu is recnogizing my sata drive with errors and using it as an ide drive. is that so? | 16:43 |
| eugene1 | So is monodevelop the only thing I can use to write stuff in C# or vb.net? | 16:43 |
| adamski84 | sudo then what,sorry im a complete noooob! | 16:44 |
| magnetron | adamski84: did you read the link d gawe you? | 16:44 |
| magnetron | !sudo > adamski84 | 16:44 |
| ompaul | eugene1, writing code can be done anywhere it it is where you run it that counts | 16:44 |
| kitche | eugene1: umm no you can use vim nano emacs any editor you want | 16:44 |
| wols | adamski84: you read the error message you pasted? it clearly says what to run | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | eugene1: no; yo can us a test editor an command line | 16:44 |
| white_eagle | hello, does anyone know a software solution for programming in visual basic for ubuntu? | 16:44 |
| wols | white_eagle: there can't be one. visual basic is Windows only | 16:45 |
| kitche | white_eagle: monodevelop | 16:45 |
| white_eagle | oh | 16:45 |
| white_eagle | !mono | 16:45 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mono - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 16:45 |
| erUSUL | white_eagle: gambas is a kind of visual basic for windows | 16:45 |
| kitche | white_eagle: but which visual basic | 16:45 |
| Slart | white_eagle: I don't think there is a compiler for visual basic for linux... perhaps mono but I'm not sure | 16:45 |
| wols | kitche: vb.net is not visual basic | 16:45 |
| pete_ | yeah gambas is good | 16:45 |
| white_eagle | K | 16:45 |
| erUSUL | !info gambas | white_eagle | 16:45 |
| ubotu | white_eagle: gambas: Visual development environment for the Gambas programming language. In component universe, is optional.

| kitche | wols: umm mono does visual basic as well | 16:45 |
| magnetron | white_eagle: no, not for visual basic. but there are similars, like monodevelop or gambas or python | 16:46 |
| wisam | any one has a PS3 and tested COMPIZ EFFECTS on it?? | 16:46 |
| wols | kitche: visual basic.net. not visual basic | 16:46 |
| white_eagle | yes | 16:46 |
| white_eagle | yes | 16:46 |
| kitche | wols: never mind you don't understand what I m saying | 16:46 |
| white_eagle | gambas is better than mono? | 16:46 |
| SpookyET | What's a decent backup tool that creates many small .tar.gz files and uploads them one by one instead of creating a huge one and clogging /var to 100% and failing? | 16:46 |
| kitche | white_eagle: gambas is Basic not Visual basic | 16:46 |
| white_eagle | oh | 16:46 |
| bazhang | wisam: no, but sounds fun--do you have a support question :} | 16:46 |
| adamski84 | wols: i know but i cant run it need to be a super user | 16:46 |
| Slart | !backup | SpookyET | 16:46 |
| ubotu | SpookyET: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 16:46 |
| wols | kitche: generally visual basic denotes VB6 and earlier | 16:46 |
| pete_ | gambas is a GUI whats it | 16:47 |
| wols | adamski84: prepend a sudo and it will run | 16:47 |
| wols | pete_: a RAD tool just like VB itself | 16:47 |
| adamski84 | sudo with what? | 16:47 |
| Slart | SpookyET: I don't know if any of those create small tar.zips.. you'll have to find that out yourself, sorry | 16:47 |
| Alfonzo | Hy. My gnome-system-monitor doesn't start. The tittle appears on the task bar and disapears few seconds later. Where can i found a ".log" file to understand the trouble ? Thanks | 16:47 |
| pete_ | ah right | 16:47 |
| wols | adamski84: with the command it tells you in the error message | 16:47 |
| tuga3d | hi all | 16:47 |
| kitche | wols: whatever you say | 16:47 |
| brobostigon | hi | 16:48 |
| tuga3d | :) | 16:48 |
| white_eagle | well, then is gambas similar to vb.net? | 16:48 |
| Slart | SpookyET: just out of curiosity... what do you do with the backups after they are created in /var ? | 16:48 |
| Blissex | ubuntino_: more likely it is a PATA drive where SATA=-PATA is not owrking. | 16:48 |
| white_eagle | or mono is similar to vb.net | 16:48 |
| erUSUL | white_eagle: check out their website | 16:48 |
| tuga3d | having trouble with my webcam, image too dark, any sugestion? | 16:48 |
| wisam | bazhang: what's the best driver for ati radeon X300?? the official one or flgrx?? | 16:48 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy adamski84 might want to read that :} | 16:48 |
| Blissex | ubuntino_: it is more or less impossible for a SATA drive to be handled by a PATA driver. | 16:48 |
| jditto | hello, can anyone help me with cron jobs? i have set cron jobs to run. they will run if i am logged in. if i am logged out the jobs will not run. i have tried using kcron to schedule them as a standard user-->me and as the root account. when i run crontab -l -u user/root i get a proper listing of the jobs. again they will run if i am logged in but not if i log out. does anyone know where i can go to figure this out? | 16:48 |
| white_eagle | I dl it anyways :) | 16:48 |
| brobostigon | Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal/ rhythmbox does this when run from cli,and then aborts,any ideas. | 16:48 |
| adamski84 | thanls wols | 16:49 |
| adamski84 | thanks* | 16:49 |
| white_eagle | oh, I lost my ubuntu gutsy gibbon cd-rom | 16:49 |
| white_eagle | :( | 16:49 |
| Blissex | jditto: perhaps your jobs will only run if there is some background program that is started by logging in, e.g. GNOME or KDE message buses,... | 16:49 |
| wols | ubuntino_: what sata controller ? | 16:49 |
| kitche | white_eagle: monos is the .net framework for linux/Windows but it has issues with vb.net to a point liek ti can't do Windows binaries and such | 16:49 |
| SpookyET | Slart: SBackup creates a huge backup file in /var/backup. Then it's supposed to upload it by FTP. The problem is that it runs out of space in /var and fails. It's logical to create small .tar.gz files and upload them one by one while deleting the previous one so you don't run out of space. That's what I call "incremental" | 16:49 |
| adamski84 | it looks like its stuck on the java installation now | 16:49 |
| ubuntino_ | Blissex: its a asus laptop with a sata drive(so they say) do i have to install anything? | 16:49 |
| jditto | blissex: do you know why? i mean cron has been around forever. | 16:49 |
| bazhang | wisam: you want the link to getting cards going in ubuntu? | 16:49 |
| makuseru | are there any multamedia converters that have a gui? | 16:49 |
| sebrock | how can I remove a module from loading in kernel at boot? | 16:49 |
| Slart | brobostigon: hmm.. error re-scanning registry sounds like a windows error.. I don't think there is a registry in linux/ubuntu.. | 16:50 |
| wols | !blacklist | 16:50 |
| 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 » | 16:50 |
| Blissex | jditto: anyhow put in the CRON file the MAILTO environment variable with your email address so you get the error message,s or check the system log. | 16:50 |
| ubuntino_ | wols: check my var/log/messages extract: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48452/ | 16:50 |
| wisam | bazhang sure if u can :) | 16:50 |
| kitche | white_eagle: since it's calls to certain internal mechinisms are different it's on mono's website which one | 16:50 |
| Blissex | ubuntino_: if the SATA chipset is not very recent porobably you don't have to install anything. | 16:50 |
| Slart | SpookyET: oh.. I think you'll find that incremental means something else when it comes to backups.. but I understand what you want.... how large are your backups? | 16:50 |
| overridex | is there a was to enable the default vino vnc server to allow connections at the gdm login screen so I can login remotely? | 16:50 |
| Xima1 | bazhang .. | 16:50 |
| bazhang | !ati | wisam | 16:50 |
| Xima1 | http://pastebin.ca/818884 : bazhang | 16:50 |
| wols | ubuntino_: that doesn't say anything about a sata disk or controller | 16:50 |
| overridex | (using gutsy) | 16:50 |
| Blissex | ubuntino_: google the error messages you get. | 16:50 |
| ubotu | wisam: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 16:50 |
| brobostigon | slart, but it returns that error in cli, under ubuntu when i try and run it in cli and or terminal | 16:51 |
| jditto | blissex: it's funny you mention that because logs show jobs start with no errors | 16:51 |
| ubuntino_ | Blissex. Thanks | 16:51 |
| SpookyET | Slart: I know what you mean, but that should be part of it. My backups are quite large 23GiB | 16:51 |
| white_eagle | will xubuntu work on my old pentium II comp.? | 16:51 |
| wisam | bazhang: thx much ;) | 16:51 |
| kitche | white_eagle: it should | 16:51 |
| jditto | but let me double check i ran some last night to see what would happen | 16:51 |
| ubuntino_ | wols: yes it does. says "error violations" | 16:51 |
| bazhang | Xima1: that page wont load for me for some reason :{ | 16:51 |
| adamski84 | wols: i am struggling lol | 16:51 |
| SpookyET | Slart: /var is a 2GiB partition. | 16:51 |
| Slart | brobostigon: yes.. I believe you.. I just pointed out that it was a weird error message for a linux box.. have you tried googling for the error-message? | 16:51 |
| MindSpark | hi, how do I open MS PPT files ? | 16:51 |
| lufis | MindSpark: Tried openoffice? | 16:52 |
| brobostigon | i have slart, aand got no usefull results | 16:52 |
| MindSpark | lufis, it asks for a filter and ppt is not included in the list | 16:52 |
| white_eagle | bye | 16:52 |
| wols | ubuntino_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48452/ has not a single occurence of "violations". only ltos of iptables logs | 16:52 |
| adamski84 | i have typed !blacklist and nothing happens | 16:52 |
| kitche | MindSpark: openoffice can open ppt files unless they are pptx | 16:52 |
| pete_ | Okay I have done sudo apt-get install libogre-dev libois-dev libogre14 I think I need more more so that I can run an application that uses Ogre | 16:52 |
| MindSpark | kitche, what are pptx ? | 16:53 |
| Slart | SpookyET: hmm.. those are some seriously big backups... you can't divide it up into several smaller jobs? or perhaps mount some ftp-folder to the remote computer and put the backups directly there? | 16:53 |
| wols | adamski84: the blacklist thing was not for you | 16:53 |
| sebrock | how can I remove a sertain module from boot? | 16:53 |
| kitche | MindSpark: ppt files for office 2007 | 16:53 |
| sebrock | ist lirc_imon | 16:53 |
| simmerz | is there a correct way to do this in a config file? echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 16:53 |
| Slart | brobostigon: hm.. well.. I can't help you much more.. I don't use rythmbox myself.. and as I said.. the error message don't tell me much | 16:53 |
| MindSpark | kitche, ok, it looks like it is one | 16:53 |
| wols | pete_: you don't need the -dev packages to run the ogre app. you might need more libs, but it will tell you if you run the app which ones | 16:53 |
| MindSpark | any other recommendation ? | 16:53 |
| adamski84 | ok sorry,wols how do i start the package manger again from the start it seems to be hanging when installing java | 16:53 |
| MindSpark | or a way to convert ? | 16:53 |
| magnetron | !blacklist > sebrock (read private message from ubotu) | 16:53 |

| overridex | is there a was to enable the default vino vnc server to allow connections at the gdm login screen so I can login remotely? (in gutsy) | 16:54 |
| tuga3d | about dark image in webcam, in xubuntu, anyone? | 16:54 |
| Slart | simmerz: there is a way.. I've done it on my ubuntu server/firewall.. I'm sorry to say I don't remember what I did since it was some time ago.. | 16:54 |
| SpookyET | Slart: I suppose I could mount an ftp server. But, the connection can and does fail. Many small archives are better. | 16:54 |
| pete_ | I'm trying to compile a C++ source that needs windows.h and exampleapplication.h I think they are needed in Ogre | 16:54 |
| Dr_willis | overridex, not that ive seen. You can set up vncserver where it can spawn a gdm screen. BUt thats not sharing the 'current/seen' desktop. But spawning a seperate X session thats basicially hidden. | 16:55 |
| kitche | wols: that pastebin is just up iptables errors toward the bottom there is a thing for sdb I can't read it since I am on cli right now but there is indeed a drive in that pastebin | 16:55 |
| simmerz | Slart: I think from google, I have to set net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf ? | 16:55 |
| wols | pete_: if you compile the app they are needed yes, but not for simply running an app | 16:55 |
| wols | !compile | pete_ | 16:55 |
| ubotu | pete_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 16:55 |
| magnetron | what's the most common IDE for Python? | 16:55 |
| sebrock | magnetron: I dont have a my_blacklist., should I create it? | 16:55 |
| overridex | Dr_willis: yeah i'm looking to share... hmm. | 16:55 |
| wols | kitche: that sdb is a usb disk. NOT sata not IDE | 16:55 |
| Slart | SpookyET: check those pages ubuto told you.. and start reading about the different backup solutions.. then you can come back here and tell us if you found something | 16:55 |
| Slart | simmerz: that sounds remotely familiar.. tried it? | 16:56 |
| Slart | SpookyET: sorry I can't give you a better answer than that | 16:56 |
| wols | simmerz: what are you trying to do? | 16:56 |
| kitche | wols: but sicne you ae not really helping anyone anyways I m going to ignore you :) | 16:56 |
| pete_ | I want to compile it, What files do I need? Sorry I know you are helping | 16:56 |
| Slart | wols: enable ip forwarding | 16:56 |
| simmerz | wols: get forwarding working to a routed Xen domU | 16:56 |
| Dr_willis | overridex, which is the opposite of how i do it. :) of course you could have the other users use a vncviewer and all watch the 'shared' desktop in its own window if you are teaching them somthing. | 16:56 |
| wols | simmerz: NAT? | 16:57 |
| Dr_willis | vnc is one of those super-flexiable tools that canbe uses in so many ways | 16:57 |
| SpookyET | Slart: It's okay. How do you mount a ftp as a directory in the filesystem? | 16:57 |
| simmerz | setting /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1 works, but how do I do that permanently? I'm sure it's not by adding it to rc.local | 16:57 |
| overridex | Dr_willis: yeah, it's more for me to be able to use the same desktop locally as when i'm remote on that machine | 16:57 |
| wols | SpookyET: FUSE should have modules for it. as should kde with a kioslave | 16:57 |
| kitche | simmerz: /etc/sysctl.conf in there someplace most likely | 16:57 |
| wols | simmerz: you usually do it on every boot anew | 16:58 |
| magnetron | sebrock: the file is named /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist nowadays | 16:58 |
| Dr_willis | overridex, i perfer a 'hidden vnc' desktop that way also. So the wife cant see what im doing :) and it stays hidden. | 16:58 |
| bulmer | simmerz-> in /etc/sysctl.conf | 16:58 |
| overridex | Dr_willis: lol. | 16:58 |
| void^ | pete_: eh, if you want to compile the samples that come with the ogre package you need to run configure first.. and i remember i still had to run sed over the makefiles to make it work right, it was a bit of a pain. exampleapplication.h is also part of the examples. | 16:58 |
| sebrock | magnetron: I guessed so | 16:58 |
| simmerz | wols: no, routing: http://rafb.net/p/EtyGib61.html | 16:58 |
| swe3tdave | What makes Human the default theme when you logon for the first time? | 16:58 |
| sebrock | tnx | 16:58 |
| Dr_willis | overridex, i tend to have ktorrent, and a few other gui apps running all the time on a vnc desktop with a little window manager. in the bg. | 16:58 |
| simmerz | bulmer: net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding ? I've set that to 1 but i've not rebooted yet | 16:58 |
| bulmer | simmerz-> try to reboot then | 16:58 |
| magnetron | what's the most common IDE for Python? | 16:59 |
| kitche | swe3tdave: umm it's how gnome is configured by Ubuntu they have that setup to be the default | 16:59 |
| kitche | magnetron: the one that coems with python | 16:59 |
| wols | magnetron: IDLE probably | 16:59 |
| Slart | magnetron: there are many.. IDLE is the "default" on | 16:59 |
| bulmer | simmerz-> by the way the file content uses / instead of period | 16:59 |
| magnetron | Slart, wols, kitche: ty | 16:59 |
| crush_groove | mornin, evenin, afternoon room | 16:59 |
| swe3tdave | kitche, so if i want to change it, i'll have to take a look a gnome sources? | 16:59 |
| Slart | magnetron: almost any text editor that supports some kind of programming supports python nowdays | 16:59 |
| simmerz | bulmer: I just uncommented the packet forwarding line. not sure that's right though - I want to enable ip_forward | 17:00 |
| bazhang | hi crush_groove | 17:00 |
| kitche | swe3tdave: nope | 17:00 |
| swe3tdave | kitche, i mean change it for new users.. | 17:00 |
| magnetron | Slart: i'm looking for some thing with a play button, will try IDLE | 17:00 |
| jditto | blissex: how do i add cron job to mailto environment? | 17:00 |
| jgoo | yaarrr. I gave up on the external USB install, and slapped an 80gb SATA drive in there and installed to that. My diskless system now has a disk!!111 lol. | 17:00 |
| === Dmitrys is now known as Sinobeus | ||
| === Sinobeus is now known as W0lD | ||
| Slart | magnetron: play button? you mean a "run button" ? | 17:00 |
| kitche | swe3tdave: you just change the default theme for gnome no clue how to do that since I don't really use gnome | 17:01 |
| bulmer | simmerz-> you'd find out soon after you reboot and then test it | 17:01 |
| wols | jgoo: you never answered what the problem was with the disk | 17:01 |
| magnetron | Slart: yea | 17:01 |
| Blissex | jditto: the opposite: you put the 'MAILTO' environment variable in the CRON file. | 17:01 |
| simmerz | bulmer: didn't work | 17:01 |
| crush_groove | heyas bazhang | 17:01 |
| jditto | blissex: how? | 17:01 |
| jgoo | so thanks all | 17:01 |
| Slart | magnetron: try anjuta or sci-edit.. I think they both support that | 17:01 |
| swe3tdave | kitche, ok thx | 17:01 |
| louisa | hi | 17:01 |
| Blissex | jditto: edit the CRON file. 'man 5 crontab' for the format. | 17:01 |
| simmerz | bulmer: trying net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 now | 17:01 |
| bulmer | simmerz-> by the way the file content uses / instead of period <--- note | 17:02 |
| pete_ | This is confusing :S | 17:02 |
| simmerz | bulmer: no it doesn't. not according to the default contents of /etc/sysctl.conf | 17:02 |
| jditto | blissex: thanks i'll try that | 17:02 |
| jditto | later | 17:02 |
| SpookyET | Slart: I suppose SBackup would not fail if I had /boot /home /swap | 17:02 |
| Xima1 | how do i unload the usbserial ? | 17:02 |
| ere4si | pete_: what's up? | 17:02 |
| kitche | bulmer: nope I just checked the file myself it uses the periods | 17:02 |
| bulmer | simmerz-> okay, mine uses / not period | 17:02 |
| pete_ | Trying to install and use Ogre3D | 17:03 |
| simmerz | ok | 17:03 |
| wols | Xima1: modprobe -r <module name> | 17:03 |
| simmerz | setting net.ipv4.ip_forward worked. | 17:03 |
| bulmer | kitche-> i would use period myself but i dont know why this stock config file shows it as / | 17:03 |
| wols | pete_: pastebin the output | 17:03 |
| ere4si | pete_: where did you get up to? | 17:03 |
| Slart | SpookyET: eh.. I don't really understand.. it fails now? or .. you don't have /boot /home /swap ? | 17:03 |
| Xima1 | i did a sudo modprobe -r usbserial and got ( FATAL : Modules usbserial in use | 17:03 |
| wraund | :( | 17:04 |
| wraund | grr wrong chan again | 17:04 |
| wraund | sorry people | 17:04 |
| Xima1 | do i do sudo modprobe -f-r usbserial then ? | 17:04 |
| wraund | irssi split window is to blame :P | 17:04 |
| wols | Xima1: so some (userland) still uses it | 17:04 |
| SpookyET | Slart: No, I have / /boot /home /tmp /var /usr /swap Instead of / and /swap | 17:04 |
| simmerz | now I just need a router I can install openwrt on so I can get traffic from outside the network to see the thing! thanks linksys for pants firmware! | 17:04 |
| Xima1 | i am the only user on my laptop though... wols ... how do i force it to stop ? | 17:04 |
| pete_ | I've downloaded the source of Ogre3D and downloading everything todo with Ogre in Synaptic | 17:04 |
| wols | wraund: shut down whatever is using the usb serial device files if anything does | 17:04 |
| jimqode | is there any way to switch users using a command just like the fast user swicher does? | 17:05 |
| Slart | SpookyET: hmm.. you have different partitions for /boot /swap /home etc? or you don't have them at all? | 17:05 |
| kitche | jimqode: su - <user> but it's for cli only | 17:05 |
| wols | jimqode: "su <new user> | 17:05 |
| jimqode | no i mean changing the X user from command line | 17:06 |
| wols | jimqode: gksudo | 17:06 |
| ere4si | pete_: what is the file type you got for ogre - tar.gz? | 17:06 |
| wols | or rather , gdsu | 17:06 |
| wols | *gksu | 17:06 |
| jimqode | wols, kitche i don't want to run a program with different right. i want to switch x users | 17:06 |
| kitche | jimqode: umm nope no command sicne it's built into the desktop manager and such for that unless you want to run a program as a certain user there is a way for that | 17:06 |
| SpookyET | I do. That's why I have the space requirements. Which is good because If I had only / and /swap like ubuntu creates by default, stuff like SBackup which can take 100% of the HDD can crash the system. | 17:06 |
| wols | jimqode: relogin for that | 17:06 |
| pete_ | ere4si: ogre-linux_osx-v1-4-5.tar.bz2 | 17:06 |
| wols | jimqode: you can have more than one X running at the same time too | 17:07 |
| pete_ | ere4si: from there web site | 17:07 |
| jimqode | kitche, doesn't sound very unixish. there has to be a way | 17:07 |
| kitche | jimqode: umm unix is not about X it's about the cli really :) | 17:07 |
| jimqode | wols, yeah i know that but that's not what i'm trying to accomplish | 17:07 |
| wols | jimqode: what are you trying to accomplish then? maybe explain more? | 17:07 |
| jimqode | kitche, but fast user switcher should be running someting in the background. | 17:07 |
| shamas | hi guys, anybody know how to install screenlets? | 17:08 |

| mudore | nickrud, ok thx, 386 does not mean 32-bit? | 17:22 |
| adamski84 | can anyone tell me how to install java please? | 17:22 |
| ere4si | !java | 17:22 |
| 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 | 17:22 |
| adamski84 | ere4si: saying event not found! | 17:23 |
| ere4si | ? | 17:23 |
| nickrud | mudore, yes it does | 17:23 |
| mudore | nickrud, problem is I'm running a 64-bit Gusty ubuntu | 17:23 |
| ere4si | adamski84: what do you want java for? - firefox or... | 17:24 |
| crush_groove | is dolphin an updated nautilus ? | 17:24 |
| nickrud | mudore, then why try to install 386? | 17:24 |
| bazhang | heresy crush_groove | 17:24 |

| Condoulo | crush_groove- Dolphin is a Konqueror replacement for a file manager in KDE4 | 17:24 |
| * nickrud thinks it's about time | 17:25 | |
| aidy | hi | 17:25 |
| crush_groove | I dun have nautilus in my gnome panel .. I do have dolphin | 17:25 |
| bazhang | hi aidy | 17:25 |
| aidy | compiz isn't starting gtk-window-decorator automatically | 17:25 |
| Condoulo | crush_groove- I have nautilus. o-O | 17:25 |
| WorkingOnWise | is there an app I can install that will act as a content blocker for the network, not just the browser. I like dansguardian, but for the network, not just the apps that use a proxy. | 17:25 |
| aidy | even though the plugin is enabled | 17:25 |
| mudore | nickrud, No I just need to run the equivelent cmd for the 64-bit ubuntu | 17:25 |
| crush_groove | Condoulo, RDP ?? | 17:26 |
| crush_groove | o0 | 17:26 |
| Condoulo | crush_groove- RDP? | 17:26 |
| crush_groove | nm | 17:26 |
| StM | Is here somebody expierenced with xen? | 17:26 |
| ifireball | WorkingOnWise: you mean like a firewall? | 17:26 |
| nickrud | mudore, for what purpose? linux-generic is the standard kernel for x64 , iirc it's installed by default | 17:26 |
| noor | you guys how can i save a file in my desktop when i use the "wget" command? because it alwase saves in the /home/user/ folder T___T | 17:26 |
| flush | anyone good with washing machines here..? | 17:27 |
| crush_groove | chuckles | 17:27 |
| ifireball | noor: cd to the "Desktop" directory before running wget | 17:27 |
| bazhang | offtopic flush | 17:27 |
| WorkingOnWise | ifireball: well....sorta, but one that filters on content, not on ip's and ports | 17:27 |
| noor | ifireball: lemme try 1 sec | 17:27 |

| ifireball | WorkingOnWise: well you can setup squid or any other HTTP proxy as a transparent proxy, that is rather advanced though, I suppose | 17:28 |
| danil | Jack_Sparrow: waht do you mean? | 17:28 |
| ifireball | noor: cd <directory_name_here> | 17:29 |

| noor | "cd /home/user/Desktop wget http://www.link.com" ? | 17:29 |
| noor | hmmm | 17:29 |
| ifireball | noor: e.g. in your case "cd Desktop" | 17:29 |

| nickrud | noor, basically good, but put a && before wget (will run wget if the cd was successful) | 17:29 |
| ifireball | noor: n/p | 17:29 |
| WorkingOnWise | ifireball: would that be the entire network then? Not just a few ports? | 17:29 |
| danil | mudore: go "sudo aptitude install kernel-build" first | 17:30 |
| nickrud | mudore, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) , you need the headers | 17:30 |
| danil | or that | 17:30 |

| ifireball | WorkingOnWise: well, you can't really content filter a "whole network" because there is no way you can prevent any content going in on say, ICQ, but you can filter surfing | 17:31 |
| danil | Jack_Sparrow: what am i supposed to do about the !compile? | 17:31 |
| mudore | danil, nickrud, thx you both, I'll try both | 17:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danil: Try reading the LINK... it will help with learning to compile | 17:31 |
| WorkingOnWise | ifireball: that is what I want to do....filter all 65k+ ports. Wow...maybe with a dedicated machine in between the internet and the network? what would that "police" machine need to run for software? | 17:32 |
| danil | Jack_Sparrow: i have a build problm. I'm good with compiling, its just that something is wrong | 17:33 |

| LermanetDOTcom | Im using 7.10 - almost everything works, but, the intel cs330 usb web cam is not working.. the hardware was not recognized.. all there is a /dev/video0 - its not recognizing the usb cam hardware - | 17:34 |
| ifireball | WorkingOnWise: essentially you can put a firewall machine in front of your network blocking everything except port 80 and port 443 and have those ports be transparently proxied through squid | 17:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LermanetDOTcom: You can look at our webcam help page as well as supported hardware page... | 17:35 |
| ifireball | WorkingOnWise: also, you can just block everything without the transparent proxy, just force everyone to configure it or not surf... | 17:35 |
| lonran | hi everybody | 17:35 |
| lonran | i want to assign a value to a variable in bash using a script. I get it from the command line but not from the script: JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_03/ What can i be doing wrong? | 17:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lonran: A question better asked in #bash | 17:36 |
| mudore | nickrud, this is command response => linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 17:36 |
| mudore | ' | 17:36 |
| ifireball | I just wrote a HOWTO article that may be of interest to Ubuntu users, is there somewhere I can post a link to it so ppl will find it? | 17:36 |
| lonran | Jack_Sparrow, thnks i thought so and was going there :) | 17:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 17:36 |
| LermanetDOTcom | MR Sparrow, I believe I did, and did try a number of the fixes...uhm.. and the cam seems to work for others.. | 17:36 |
| nickrud | mudore, system->admin->software sources , make sure all the repos are enabled | 17:36 |
| LermanetDOTcom | im new to linux so Im assuming its sumthing dumb | 17:36 |
| overridex | anyone elses wifi constantly drop off if using WEP on gutsy? have to reboot or reload wifi modules to get the connection to work again | 17:37 |
| LjL | ifireball: #ubuntu-doc - let them review it and make its way into the official wiki | 17:37 |
| jimqode | kitche, wols | 17:37 |
| Dr_willis | Theres the ubuntu wiki pages you could put it there ifireball i guess. :) | 17:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LermanetDOTcom: Hopefully you did not try things like automatix or envy (both really bad ideas) to try and get it going | 17:37 |
| jimqode | kitche, wols , it is `gdmflexiserver -s` if anybody else asks. this is what user switcher does | 17:37 |
| josse | I have just downloaded PUtty on my ubuntu linux, but when I try to log on, it tells me "Fatal Error" connection refused. I can use it from Windows without any problem. ANy ideas? | 17:38 |
| ifireball | lonran: variable values only exist for the life duration of the process that set then, e.g. in your case, the life of the "bash" process running your script | 17:38 |
| jimqode | i was sure it had a console way | 17:38 |
| Dr_willis | josse, what are you using putty for exactly? putty is not the ssh server. if thats what youa re thinking. | 17:38 |
| Dr_willis | josse, if yoyu are trying to ssh into a remote machine. test with 'ssh whatever.the.machine.ip.is' | 17:38 |
| pete_ | Yeah, i've had some luck thanks for all your help everyone | 17:39 |
| ifireball | lonran: you should "source" your script rather then running it | 17:39 |
| nickrud | putty has a linux version? | 17:39 |
| josse | I use it to log into the server where I have my web pages | 17:39 |
| rsk | nickrud: yes | 17:39 |
| Dr_willis | nickrud, just a front end to ssh from what ive seen.. looks/acts like the windows putty. | 17:39 |
| Dr_willis | !find putty | 17:39 |
| ubotu | Found: putty, putty-tools | 17:39 |
| Dr_willis | !info putty | 17:39 |
| ubotu | putty: Telnet/SSH client for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.60-1 (gutsy), package size 302 kB, installed size 744 kB | 17:39 |
| nickrud | huh. That's redundant | 17:39 |
| Dr_willis | Unless you just gotta have an indentical interface i guess | 17:39 |
| LermanetDOTcom | Mr Sparrow, no, did not | 17:39 |
| ifireball | nickrud: some ppl like the gui | 17:40 |
| nickrud | ifireball, I guess, choice is a good thing (walks the company line) | 17:40 |
| a-v | Hi. I'm trying to make my webcam work. It is known to work with driver gspca 01.00.18 (package taken from Debian). The installation was successful, but then I found out that a package linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic provides the same module's old version. The old one gets loaded instead of the new. How can I fix that without breaking/removing packages? | 17:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LermanetDOTcom: I dont have a cam... No one want to see that... would you like the cam help page type !webcam | LermanetDOTcom | 17:41 |
| LermanetDOTcom | you are correct, the cam is not listed as comp[atible.. - Ill do stuff on this page next and then return https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam#head-ab1e7417ebfd055033c8db9fb6567181538cc531 | 17:41 |
| mudore | nickrud, done, all downloadable from internet are enabled, but the command still don't work, do I need to reboot? | 17:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | apt-get update | 17:42 |
| LermanetDOTcom | !webcam | LermanetDOTcom | 17:42 |
| nickrud | mudore, if you had to tick anything, you might need to run sudo apt-get update to register the changes | 17:42 |
| wols | mudore: what ubuntu evrsion? | 17:42 |
| nickrud | wols, he's running feisty, needing the linux-headers | 17:42 |
| mudore | wols Feisty updated into Gusty , 64-bit | 17:43 |
| mudore | wols, Feisty updated into Gusty , 64-bit | 17:43 |
| gogeta | the eaders get the build essensals | 17:43 |
| gogeta | headers | 17:43 |
| gogeta | it comes with everything he would need | 17:43 |
| wols | mudore: you don't run a gutsy kernel as nickrud pointed out. can't be a full gutsy | 17:43 |
| nickrud | mudore, uname -r says you have a fiesty kernel | 17:43 |
| gogeta | so its a festy install | 17:44 |
| wols | mudore: amybe you didn't do your upgrade right? | 17:44 |
| gogeta | same effect | 17:44 |
| === _Anubis is now known as Anubis | ||
| wols | gogeta: no. could very well be a gutsy userland with feisty kernel | 17:44 |
| MZM | how can I specify X server layout to use? | 17:44 |
| mudore | nickrud, unamce -r =>2.6.20-16-generic | 17:44 |
| gogeta | maybe he upgraded and forgot to remove the old one? | 17:45 |
| nickrud | mudore, sudo apt-get install linux-generic , then reboot (if you install a new kernel) . Otherwise, let us know | 17:45 |

| adamski84 | some one please tell me how to install java correctly! | 17:46 |
| wols | !java | adamski84 | 17:46 |

| wols | adamski84: are you on 64bit? there is no java plugin for 64bit browsers | 17:46 |
| nickrud | adamski84, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin (assuming 32bit) | 17:46 |
| adamski84 | no 32 | 17:47 |
| danil | anyone? what is: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltermcap" | 17:47 |

| gogeta | no and thank god | 17:48 |
| white_eagle | i hate it | 17:48 |
| white_eagle | lol | 17:48 |
| adamski84 | nickrud im a noob on ubuntu got a lot of learning to do | 17:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | white_eagle: as in commercial dvd's or encoded audio? | 17:48 |
| white_eagle | :D | 17:48 |
| kitche | white_eagle: depends which file format they are but not really | 17:48 |
| white_eagle | encoded audio | 17:48 |
| RoAkSoAx | wols: there is a java plugin for amd64 | 17:48 |
| josse | is there a difference if I use Terminal window or Putty for SSH? | 17:49 |
| nickrud | adamski84, the curve looks steep, but it levels out suprisingly fast. Except for the sudden peaks here and there :) | 17:49 |
| white_eagle | i have 2-3 songs which are DRM'd %$%$ | 17:49 |
| gogeta | josse not relly | 17:49 |
| LjL | ifireball: IMHO a better solution would have been to put the entire /home directory into its separate drive/partition, rather than making a user-specific directory in /usr/local or /var | 17:49 |
| MZM | nobody is using X with multiple layouts? | 17:49 |
| gogeta | jossie but ssh is more secure | 17:49 |
| adamski84 | ok nickrud how would i have found out how to type that command if i didnt get it off you? | 17:49 |
| kitche | josse: not really just that Putty has a bookmark feature :) | 17:50 |

| kitche | vasser: first device on the cable chain at the end is hd0 the second is the second drive on the chain or on the second controller depending on your computer | 18:01 |
| Meronik | I wanna install Ubuntu to VMWare...any objections? | 18:01 |
| brophat | wols it just says extended | 18:01 |
| Dr_willis | vasser, they way you describe the video issue. sounds more like its a bug in the nvdia drivers. as for hd0 and hd1, you can also check the /boot/grub/device.map and see what grub thinks they are. | 18:01 |
| wols | brophat: extended is not a filesystem but partitiontype | 18:01 |
| FruitieX | Hey, anyone here who is willing to help me out with a alsa problem? | 18:01 |
| Dr_willis | Meronik, the vmware-appliances page - has premade vmware images for ubuntu | 18:02 |
| brophat | wols yeah I dunno what fs is on it | 18:02 |
| wols | brophat: fdisk -l sorta told you | 18:02 |
| Meronik | what are "images for ubuntu"? | 18:02 |
| FruitieX | I have no sound as an unprivileged user, but if i run the same application as root sound works normally | 18:02 |
| FruitieX | same thing goes for alsamixer, it throws an error when i dont run it as root | 18:02 |
| wols | FruitieX: run "id" | 18:02 |
| nickrud | Meronik, you can install ubuntu as many times as many places as you like | 18:02 |
| brophat | wols what was weird is that when i installed ubunut it was telling me that it could not mess with the second HD because it already had an os on it and it did not want to break it | 18:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brophat: lots of help here.... Time for me to finish eating and take dog for a walk... welcome to Ubuntu.. wols knows his stuff.. you are in good hands | 18:03 |
| kthakore | I keep getting an I/O error when I copy stuff from my CD | 18:03 |
| FruitieX | wols: uid=1000(rasse) gid=100(users) ryhmät=100(users) | 18:03 |
| Meronik | can I use ubuntu for commercial profit? | 18:03 |
| nickrud | yes | 18:03 |
| brophat | Jack_Sparrow sure thanks for the help | 18:03 |
| Meronik | can I sell ubuntu? | 18:03 |
| FruitieX | wols: ryhmät = finnish for groups, and my username is rasse | 18:03 |
| wols | FruitieX: you probably need to add your use to audio | 18:03 |
| ere4si | FruiteX: go to applications - system - admin - users and groups and make sure your user is allowed to access audio | 18:03 |
| FruitieX | wols: How would I do that? :) | 18:03 |
| nickrud | yes, but not likely to be profitable unless you include support contracts | 18:04 |
| FruitieX | ere4si: Openbox here, not GNOME :) | 18:04 |
| wols | Meronik: yes. but you must comply with the GPL and provide the source too | 18:04 |
| ere4si | k | 18:04 |
| bitsbam | hey all, i have an Xorg problem. when i enable the TV out on my card with the gutsy screens and graphics app, my tv works but i get this virtual screen thing going on my monitor, very irritating, is there something i can do about that? | 18:04 |
| wols | Meronik: and you mustn't say you made it all. must be attributed | 18:04 |
| Meronik | why is ubuntu so free??? | 18:04 |
| brophat | wols well I am gonna install 7.10 right over my 7.04 so hopefully it won't give me the same crap that my first install gave me | 18:04 |
| Jordan_U | Meronik, Yes, all GPL'd software can be sold and otherwise used for profit, most of the software included with Ubuntu is GPL, or GPL compatible | 18:04 |
| nickrud | !gpl | 18:04 |
| ubotu | gpl is the GNU General Public License. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html | 18:04 |
| |thunder | !oracle | 18:04 |
| ubotu | If you -must- install oracle .... here's a good place to start: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html | 18:04 |
| bitsbam | i mean the screen is bigger than my monitor, when the cursor is close to the edge, it scrools | 18:04 |
| nickrud | Meronik, see the gpl link just above | 18:04 |
| rsk | Meronik: cause that's what ubuntu is about, freedom. | 18:04 |
| wols | brophat: what has this to do with what filesystem is on disk two? | 18:05 |
| gucci | hi | 18:05 |
| Meronik | yeah, but someone works on the development of this OS right? | 18:05 |
| rsk | Meronik: yes. lots of people. | 18:05 |
| adamski84 | how do i set up beryl? | 18:05 |
| kitche | rsk: goubuntu is more about freedom then ubuntu is really | 18:05 |
| Meronik | so, why is it free? | 18:05 |
| wols | Meronik: several thousand people all ovre the world. for more than 10 years now | 18:05 |
| rob3r | I have some .avi files and am unable to play them... I can hear the sound but the video is completely garbled | 18:05 |
| brophat | wols dunno, so how do I find out what fs is on disk two? | 18:05 |
| Jordan_U | Meronik, Yes, many are paid, many just volunteer | 18:05 |
| kitche | Meronik: because they make money on support contracts | 18:06 |
| wols | brophat: as I said: fdisk -l gave you a hint | 18:06 |
| nickrud | Meronik, most of them do it because they need something to work, and share it because someone else will make it better | 18:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | adamski84: I thought you were told earlier that new beryl installs were discouraged... | 18:06 |
| wols | Meronik: got to gnu.org and read the stuff there. then you know why it's free | 18:06 |
| Jordan_U | Meronik, Companies like IBM also pay developers so people will buy their hardware, to run Linux :) | 18:06 |
| FruitieX | wols: So is there any console command to give my unprivileged user to access audio? | 18:06 |
| Meronik | I see | 18:06 |
| wols | FruitieX: add your use to the audio group | 18:06 |
| Meronik | that is cooooool | 18:06 |
| bazhang | adamski84: read the wiki link I gave you a while ago :} all the answers are there | 18:07 |
| shamas | anybody have any idea on how I would go about installing screenlets from gnom-look.org? | 18:07 |
| rob3r | I have some .avi files and am unable to play them... I can hear the sound but the video is completely garbled, I downloaded all the codecs with automatix, is there something I'm missing? | 18:07 |
| bazhang | shamas: for use with compiz? | 18:07 |
| brophat | wols by the size of the sectors and stuff? | 18:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !automatix | rob3r | 18:07 |
| ubotu | rob3r: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 18:07 |
| Jordan_U | Meronik, But it's mostly shmucks like us, wanting to help people out at no cost :) | 18:07 |
| nickrud | adamski84, and remember, beryl is dead, you will be using compiz , also known as compiz-fusion | 18:07 |
| adamski84 | could you re send the link please bro? | 18:07 |
| wols | brophat: no, by partition type | 18:07 |
| nickrud | !compiz | adamski84 | 18:07 |

| wols | brophat: e.g. ntfs, win95 lba, etc | 18:08 |
| Meronik | the reason I was just wondering...I am going to learn programming...and why the hell would I do that if everything is becoming free...I need money here :) | 18:08 |
| wols | brophat: system column | 18:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ot | Meronik | 18:08 |
| ubotu | Meronik: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 18:08 |
| brophat | wols yeah all it says under system is extended | 18:08 |
| wols | Meronik: most programmers work for a company doing inhouse wrok.e.g. programs that are never ever sold | 18:08 |
| rsk | Meronik: you can use ubuntu that is free but program on it and make money of your software, if that was what you were thing about | 18:08 |
| adamski84 | so i type !compiz in the terminal nickrud? | 18:08 |
| wols | Meronik: the commercial shrink wrap industry is very small comparatively | 18:08 |
| white_eagle | i installed compiz and emerald theme manager but I don't know where to make the window bars translucent | 18:08 |
| white_eagle | where? | 18:09 |
| nickrud | adamski84, no, read the whole post, it tells you where the howto is | 18:09 |
| bazhang | white_eagle: ask in #compiz-fusion | 18:09 |
| rob3r | Jack_Sparrow, so you flag me for mentioning a package? Could you actually help me with my problem? | 18:09 |
| white_eagle | ok | 18:09 |
| Meronik | rsk: are there shareware programs for ubuntu? | 18:09 |
| kthakore | I keep getting an I/O error when I copy stuff from my CD | 18:09 |
| rsk | Meronik: loads | 18:09 |
| rsk | Meronik: like nero for e.x | 18:10 |
| Dr_willis | rob3r, play the file in a player from the terminal, and check the output, or check the properties obn the file as to what codecs its using. | 18:10 |
| Meronik | hmmm | 18:10 |
| Meronik | ok | 18:10 |
| drbair | why does numpy depend on python 2.4 and 2.5? | 18:10 |
| Meronik | thank you guys | 18:10 |
| kitche | white_eagle: you need to get ccsm instlled | 18:10 |
| lokito | putones | 18:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rob3r: You have already messed up your install by using automatix... see the link.. easier to reinstall and do it the right way | 18:10 |
| lokito | hola guebones | 18:10 |
| mudore | nickrud, you guys were right I'didn't choose the right kernel while booting with grub, knows almost every thing works, exept the sound ;) | 18:11 |

| brophat | nickrud I can get a boot disk with cfdisk on it? | 18:29 |
| KDuB | how do i connect ssh2 to another computer via terminal? | 18:29 |
| ReS|UK | Well brophat I don't know then, all the other installs I have done (not Ubuntu yet) have got cfdisk. | 18:29 |
| nickrud | brophat, it's on the live cd iirc | 18:29 |
| Invert314 | why is java installing at 15kB/s? | 18:29 |
| Invert314 | Java is 28 MBs large | 18:29 |
| brophat | nickrud is it on the alternate cd? | 18:29 |
| Invert314 | it's gonna take 20+ minutes | 18:30 |
| bazhang | server issue Invert314 | 18:30 |
| ReS|UK | Invert314: The server is probably busy hence the slow download speed. | 18:30 |
| Invert314 | oh | 18:30 |
| Invert314 | ty bazhang + ReS|UK | 18:30 |
| yubwyub | how do I look at the cube thing? | 18:30 |
| nickrud | brophat, yes, I think you can get at it with the repair boot option. Don't be suprised if I'm wrong | 18:30 |
| ReS|UK | Invert314: Your welcome. | 18:30 |
| pdlnhrd | is there an easy way to search through a large set of files for a particular word? | 18:31 |
| nickrud | pdlnhrd, grep <word> <filespec> | less | 18:31 |
| bazhang | no worries Invert314 | 18:31 |
| brophat | nickrud well I am sure it must be on the alternate cd because that cd is for more expert level users I would think | 18:31 |
| pdlnhrd | nickrud: what is <filespec> ? | 18:31 |
| nickrud | brophat, I don't think I've actually used the repair function, that's why I'm hedging | 18:32 |
| pdlnhrd | i was doing something like find . -name | grep foo | 18:32 |
| nickrud | pdlnhrd, like *.txt | 18:32 |
| KDuB | how do i connect ssh2 to another computer via terminal? | 18:33 |
| brophat | nickrud but is it a repair function I want, or a dismantle function. | 18:33 |
| scguy318 | KDuB: ssh user@host | 18:33 |
| Jarhyn | my filesystem keeps dying, and I keep having to reinstall | 18:33 |
| Dr_willis | KDuB, define connect.. ;) you done mean 'ssh remote.ip.nimber.' do you? | 18:33 |
| brophat | nickrud I am not repairing anyting, I am taking it down | 18:33 |
| Jarhyn | I'm getting pretty damn tired of it, but it's honestly less hassle than windows | 18:33 |
| KDuB | yes ssh2 | 18:34 |
| nickrud | brophat, it's all about booting into a system so you can run cfdisk, Me, I keep a copy of knoppix around for that | 18:34 |
| Brownster | Jarhyn, have u tried running a bad block scan on the disk? | 18:34 |
| Jarhyn | yes. both read only and nondestructive read-write. that was my first step | 18:35 |
| ReS|UK | nickrud: I am with you on that Knoppix is very useful for that. | 18:35 |
| idefix_ | can you install the latest ubuntu version by running an iso file? | 18:35 |
| rsk | nope idefix_ | 18:35 |
| Brownster | Jarhyn, you only have the one disk? | 18:35 |
| rsk | idefix_: you either need to burn it and install it or upgrade via ubuntu. | 18:35 |
| Jarhyn | yes. it's a laptop | 18:35 |
| brophat | nickrud yeah that was my prob when I did my ubuntu install; i had other os's around and it isntalled around them. I needed to wack them first with cfdisk | 18:35 |
| Jarhyn | I'm kinda limited | 18:35 |
| alex2308 | anyone know how to make ubuntu run in 1680x1050 mode? | 18:36 |
| idefix_ | which is impossible because I added the missing repos to the sources.list file and it doesn't work! | 18:36 |
| motin_0 | what channel is suiting for discussions regarding 64bit gutsy server edition? | 18:36 |
| Dr_willis | idefix_, you did a 'sudo apt-get update' after editing the sources.list ? | 18:36 |
| Jarhyn | I mean it only takes a couple hours to reinstall and restore all my packages, but it's still a pain | 18:36 |
| idefix_ | hm | 18:36 |
| magic_ninja | uh, my gkrellm shows 4 users in that normal | 18:36 |
| zarac | thanks MZM wols Brownster Jack_Sparrow | 18:36 |
| rsk | magic_ninja: every terminal is a user | 18:37 |

| crush_groove | alex: gutsy/gnome ? | 18:37 |
| Brownster | Jarhyn, I'd be tempted if it has happened more than once, to bite the bullet, sacrifice the current install, and use a live cd to do an intensive write test to the whole disk | 18:37 |
| alex2308 | crush_groove, 7.10/xfce | 18:37 |
| alex2308 | trying all types of modes for 2 hours now, seems nothing works | 18:37 |
| prosciuttino | dove cazzo sono finito? | 18:37 |
| Brownster | Jarhyn, you shouldn't have any probs with the fs | 18:37 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, which file system are you using? | 18:37 |
| alex2308 | maybe a prob with my geforce 6600gt? | 18:37 |
| crush_groove | hmm .. on gnome ( dunno the similaritys .. its system/administration/screens and graphics | 18:38 |
| prosciuttino | merda | 18:38 |
| Brownster | Jarhyn, power cuts aside | 18:38 |
| magic_ninja | !nvu | 18:38 |
| ubotu | kompozer is WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy, !Backports on !Feisty, and from « deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tonyyarusso/ubuntu edgy universe » for Edgy. (Dapper still pending) | 18:38 |
| Brownster | Jarhyn, and even then if you're using ext3 or other journalling fs you will likely recover without a prob. | 18:38 |
| Jarhyn | ext3 | 18:38 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, have you dumped out the S.M.A.R.T. statistics, see if there are errors recorded? | 18:39 |
| Jarhyn | no. I'm pretty novice when it comes to advanced troubleshooting | 18:39 |
| Tyczek | I have fresh install of ubuntu. I want to install Ati drivers to radeon mobility hd 2600. Will you help me ? | 18:39 |
| alex2308 | sudo smartctl -V or something | 18:39 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, smartctl will allow you to dump the statistics | 18:39 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, might need sudo | 18:39 |
| magic_ninja | i'm tending to think my machine has been compromised | 18:39 |
| magic_ninja | anyone point me in a direction i can get some help | 18:40 |
| Brownster | sethk, good idea | 18:40 |
| Jarhyn | also, how do I set up the insensitive write test? | 18:40 |
| sethk | magic_ninja, don't jump to that conclusion just yet. | 18:40 |
| Jarhyn | is that through fsck.ext3? | 18:40 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, you mean destructive write? | 18:40 |
| Jarhyn | intensive even | 18:40 |
| Jarhyn | rawr.. | 18:41 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, badblocks is the low level utility to do both destructive and non-destructive block oriented disk testing | 18:41 |
| Tyczek | Should I install Ati binary X.org driver or go to Ati site and downlaod installer/ | 18:41 |
| sethk | Tyczek, don | 18:41 |
| nickrud | Tyczek, stick with the ubuntu one | 18:41 |
| magic_ninja | sethk: its various things, thats why i was wanting to be pointed to a direction to get some help | 18:41 |
| kthakore | wols, I changed by cables, put in a liveCD boot from it and ran it for a while, login to my hdd and still got a hal popup and still can't mount cd | 18:41 |
| sethk | Tyczek, only do the ATI site driver if you have a problem the other doesn't solve, which is unlikely. | 18:41 |
| Tyczek | you mean this in repository? | 18:41 |
| Brownster | Jarhyn, sethk's idea on trying smartctl is a good start | 18:41 |
| idefix_ | !automate | 18:42 |
| ubotu | Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning | 18:42 |
| sethk | Tyczek, correct | 18:42 |
| nickrud | Tyczek, it has it's problems, but the ati install creates bigger ones very often | 18:42 |
| Tyczek | allright... I'll install optimized | 18:42 |
| Jarhyn | I'll run fsck when I get back to my liveCD to see if it's picking up many new errors, do smartctl, then go on to badblocks if that doesn't help | 18:42 |
| Jarhyn | I appreciate the help | 18:42 |
| Brownster | Jarhyn, no worries | 18:42 |
| mular | anyone know how to fix this.. my external drive umounts itself on its own sometimes (also sometimes its auto mounted at boot and other times not) | 18:42 |
| Jarhyn | is it normal for fsck to pick up anomalies on a third or fourth boot? | 18:42 |
| nickrud | Tyczek, biggest issue, both have it: if you have a laptop, you lose suspend | 18:43 |
| Brownster | Jarhyn, no definitely not | 18:43 |
| tacone | anyone knows why the blog of Shuttleworth s no longer updated ? | 18:43 |
| Jarhyn | also, is it possible it's just the laptop's motherboard? | 18:43 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, possible? sure. | 18:44 |
| Jarhyn | I don't suppose there are any utils that will out THAT problem | 18:44 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, the thing with the high speed moving parts is much more likely, but I've seen disk errors caused by the interface hardware. | 18:44 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, The test programs run through the same hardware as the o/s. | 18:44 |
| comicinker | hi there I have a problem with anjuta. it crashes when I'm opening a glade file. any idea? | 18:44 |
| Brownster | Jarhyn, a process of elimination and the disk is most likely | 18:44 |
| almancora | How can I create a folder with a name with space in lik "my music". When I type mkdir my music it makes 2 seperate folders | 18:44 |
| Brownster | almancora, use a \ char before the space | 18:45 |
| almancora | thx | 18:45 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, so to differentiate between the hard drive itself and the interface software, you really have to move the drive to another box. | 18:45 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, plus, even if you do that, you won't really conclude anything unless a test program produces a reproducible error in one env but not the other. | 18:46 |
| comicinker | here is the backtrace: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/21242/ | 18:46 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, intermittent problems are a b*** to find. | 18:46 |
| Brownster | sethk, ill second that | 18:46 |
| adamski84 | sorted got it working:) | 18:46 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, now, this may sound odd, but the true likely cause of your symptoms is bad memory. | 18:46 |
| Brownster | sethk, but if smartctl reports error that pretty conclusive | 18:46 |
| Jarhyn | I also checked that using the memchecker kernel | 18:46 |
| sethk | Brownster, yes, absolutely. | 18:46 |
| kthakore | wols, are u there? | 18:46 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, for how long? | 18:46 |
| Jarhyn | after a day of testing, 0 errors | 18:46 |
| Jarhyn | I'm tempted to leave it for a month when I go out to NTC | 18:47 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, unfortunately, no memory tester finds every error. | 18:47 |
| Jarhyn | or when I go on leave | 18:47 |
| kayce | anyone know anything about getting winmodems to work on linux? | 18:47 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, well, that probably won't help much | 18:47 |
| Jarhyn | I think it made it through 8 passes | 18:47 |
| magic_ninja | how do you edit the application menu | 18:47 |
| tyczek | I installed and nothing changed... Still have only 1024x768 | 18:47 |
| Jammie | i see in some screenshots epople have their system specs and other info shown on the desktop in the top rgiht corner how do i get that? | 18:47 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, it sounds like you have the corruption problem regularly, so if (hypothetically, of course) there is a memory problem, it's one the test program can't find. | 18:47 |
| kitche | Jammie: conky | 18:48 |
| tyczek | Maybe xorg is needed to edit? | 18:48 |
| Jammie | kk | 18:48 |
| frangelli | Hello peoples... | 18:48 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, simplist thing to do, if practical, is to simply swap out the memory and see if the behavior changes. | 18:48 |
| Jammie | thnx | 18:48 |
| Brownster | sethk, mmm if bad block reports bad blocks u could run the bad block test and see if the sectors reported are the same, proving sector is bad or not and mem problem? | 18:48 |
| Jarhyn | easy for you to say. I don't even know the hardware. it's more of a hand-me-down | 18:48 |
| frangelli | someone can help me with my notebook and my graphic card?? | 18:48 |
| sethk | Jarhyn, the reason I suspect the memory is that frequently the o/s has parts of the disk cached into memory for performance purposes, and if a few bits get flipped, and it's written out to disk, the behavior is similar to what you describe. | 18:49 |
| crush_groove | what is smartctrl? | 18:49 |
| adamski84 | how do ii install wine? | 18:49 |
| sethk | Brownster, yes, absolutely. | 18:49 |
| nickrud | !info smart-tools | crush_groove | 18:49 |
| ubotu | crush_groove: Package smart-tools does not exist in gutsy | 18:49 |
| usr13 | frangelli: Probably, what is your problem? | 18:49 |
| sethk | crush_groove, a program to interface with the IDE S.M.A.R.T. protocol. | 18:49 |
| nickrud | crush_groove, erm | 18:49 |

| frangelli | my problem is | 18:49 |
| sethk | crush_groove, SMART is a system that keeps track of the frequency of disk errors; the idea is that you are warned about impending failures before losing data. | 18:49 |
| tacone | adamski84 try sudo apt-get install wine | 18:50 |
| sethk | admin_, most likely you need to use /dev/sdc1 | 18:50 |
| adamski84 | kk | 18:50 |
| magic_ninja | how do you edit ur gnome application menu | 18:50 |
| Jarhyn | what is the package for SMART tools | 18:50 |
| frangelli | im buy my new notebook | 18:50 |
| tacone | adamski84: or you can search for wine in synaptic. :-) | 18:50 |
| crush_groove | apt-get SMART ? | 18:50 |
| sethk | admin_, try fdisk -l /dev/sdc. If it shows a partition table, then use sdc1 | 18:50 |

| kthakore | I am having trouble with mounting cds my hardware is working fine because I can use livecd from it but recently I started getting hal failed to initialized popups on login and I can't mount or copy from cds now | 18:51 |
| adamski84 | thanks tacone,has any one on here got world of warcraft working with wine well? | 18:51 |
| sethk | comicinker, no, he has a problem and I was asking for his results for troubleshooting. I know what it does. :) | 18:51 |
| sethk | admin_, that's not possible. It can give you an error, or it can display something, but it can't do nothing. | 18:52 |
| tacone | i guess smart package doesn't exists then | 18:52 |

| sethk | admin_, yes, sorry, that's not right. Let me check the flags ... | 18:53 |

| tacone | ubuntu: I have no clue :-( | 18:57 |
| askand | Where is info stored on where external drives should be mounted? | 18:57 |
| sethk | ubuntu, very true. I did some work on a network appliance using Marvel and I spent three weeks fixing up the driver. | 18:57 |
| kthakore | sethk, both as u can see I am using a livecd right now | 18:57 |
| Farquad | kitche, when a monitor isnt connected it only shows 800x600 when i remote destip | 18:57 |

| ubotu | admin_: 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) | 18:58 |
| admin_ | basically that over and over | 18:58 |
| sethk | admin_, ok, well, nothing good will happen until that gets fixed. | 18:58 |
| ubuntu | sethk : I managed to get my network card working when I switched to debian Lenny (testing). But cdrom still doesn't work, and booting from usb didn't work. I ended up installing Debian via debootstrap | 18:59 |
| tyczek | Could it be that ubuntu ati binary doesn't work with radeon mobility hd 2600? :( | 18:59 |
| admin_ | how will it get fixed sethk ? | 18:59 |
| sethk | admin_, the write cache message is normal, but READ CAPACITY failed is not normal. | 18:59 |
| admin_ | :'( | 18:59 |
| Farquad | kitche, if i have a monitor connected when i bootup then vnc in, it gets the right resolution ... but if i start it without a monitor and vnc it goes to 800x600 and doesnt give me any other options | 19:00 |
| xzased | Ok, I formatted my external HD to ext3, but now I cant write to it. I tried chmod -R +w /media/usbdrive | 19:00 |
| bliss_ | how to Create a new userid/groupid with say the name peter? | 19:00 |
| sethk | admin_, the first thing I'd try is checking the kernel configuration, make sure the modules are loaded for your box's USB hardware. | 19:00 |
| kthakore | sethk, how do I get the hal problem to go away atleast | 19:00 |
| sethk | admin_, if you are using a card reader, try a different card reader. | 19:00 |
| strav | he. I just reinstalled gutsy and I'm wondering if FINALLY, the resume from suspend problem has been corrected. Note, I see that many people have reported that this problem was because of direct rendering on ati cards however, I just set the no_dri option in xorg and still have the resume problem. Is there an "official" how-to/fix for getting it working? | 19:00 |
| sethk | kthakore, without really understanding why it fails, it's difficult to say anything intelligent. | 19:01 |
| jrib | bliss_: system -> adiministration -> users and groups | 19:01 |
| admin_ | sethk: I've used SD cards on here before ,just bought this card, I've lways had problems like these with the cards (it's a laptop, internal reader) | 19:01 |
| sethk | kthakore, one thing you might try is searching the cdwrite mailing list archives for info about the CD drive. | 19:01 |
| adamski84 | where can i get the latest nvidia 7600 gt linux drivers from? | 19:01 |
| ubuntu | hmm | 19:01 |
| bliss_ | jrib: from the command line please | 19:01 |
| rsk | adamski84: nvidia.com | 19:01 |
| adamski84 | ty | 19:01 |
| jrib | bliss_: sudo adduser peter | 19:01 |
| === ubuntu is now known as b0rsuk | ||
| bliss_ | ompaul: evening | 19:02 |
| sethk | admin_, I would try an external reader, that will at least tell us if it's the reader or the card. | 19:02 |
| jrib | adamski84: you should use the drivers from the repositories | 19:02 |
| admin_ | I don't have one sethk | 19:02 |
| admin_ | sethk: it's without a doubt the card. | 19:02 |
| bliss_ | jrib: user and group | 19:02 |
| xzased | so, how can I change the permissions for a mounted drive? | 19:02 |
| admin_ | I used another card last night, but I needed to buy a larger card for what I wanted to do | 19:02 |
| admin_ | sethk: ^ | 19:02 |
| Farquad | if i have a monitor connected when i bootup then vnc in, it gets the right resolution ... but if i start it without a monitor and vnc it goes to 800x600 and doesnt give me any other options ... and I dont have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 19:02 |
| sethk | admin_, obviously if it's the card there isn't anything you can do except get another card (which I realize isn't terribly helpful but is true). | 19:03 |
| jrib | bliss_: yes, that command does that since your user will have the default group the same as his username | 19:03 |
| admin_ | :o | 19:03 |
| strav | he. I just reinstalled gutsy and I'm wondering if FINALLY, the resume from suspend problem has been corrected. Note, I see that many people have reported that this problem was because of direct rendering on ati cards however, I just set the no_dri option in xorg and still have the resume problem. Is there an "official" how-to/fix for getting it working? | 19:03 |
| admin_ | dammit ubuntu messes everything up | 19:03 |
| jrib | !repeat | strav | 19:03 |
| ubotu | strav: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 19:03 |
| zoexii | hello, I have question: I have java based application that works fine when I double click file "scjava" from nautilus, (it gives options Run in Terminal, Display, Cancel Run)... I want to make a .bashrc alias so that I can quickly launch it with run application dialouge, so I make an alias command='/path/to/scjava' but when I type command, i get error: Invalid java application (JVM) specified: ../j2re1.4.2_04/bin/java | 19:03 |
| bliss_ | jrib: so peter will be the user name and group id just by doing adduser peter? | 19:04 |
| jrib | bliss_: try it | 19:04 |
| bliss_ | jrib: uum answer yes would be better or are you guessing | 19:05 |
| jrib | bliss_: I already said yes | 19:05 |
| sethk | zoexii, start it the way it works correctly, then use ps auxwww to find the path of the running JVM | 19:05 |
| bliss_ | jrib; ok thanks | 19:05 |
| sethk | zoexii, I'm guessing there may be two different VMs installed. | 19:05 |
| kthakore | sethk, I have never had a problem with the drive it self, I check the mailing list there are no reported errors with the drive | 19:05 |
| bliss_ | ompaul: evening | 19:05 |
| Synx_hm | How can i clear out a partition table for install, the text install cd keeps thinking i still have an active software raid, and it wont let me del md0 to re do this system | 19:05 |
| sethk | zoexii, or, the JAVA_HOME environment variable may be incorrect. | 19:05 |
| kthakore | sethk, where can I check the error logs of the hal failing to initialize | 19:06 |
| NiNo | ciao | 19:06 |
| Farquad | can someone tell me why I dont have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ... I'm running a default ubuntu setup | 19:06 |
| sethk | kthakore, look in /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/faillog | 19:06 |
| ompaul | bliss_, evening | 19:06 |
| Gre2 | Hello | 19:06 |
| zoexii | sethk, there seems to be a compiled java in the parent folder that it wants to use, | 19:06 |
| sethk | Farquad, Dumb question, probably, but is X isntalled? | 19:06 |
| tyczek | Allright... Installed this binary from repo, but won't work. Should I edit something? | 19:06 |
| bliss_ | ompaul: see you still have some clout | 19:06 |
| sethk | zoexii, ok, then start it by using the full path to the VM | 19:07 |
| Farquad | sethk, i'm in GNOME | 19:07 |
| Farquad | i'm new to linux | 19:07 |
| ompaul | bliss_, yes | 19:07 |
| Farquad | so maybe its not installed then | 19:07 |
| LjL | !ot | bliss_ | 19:07 |

| sethk | Farquad, no, if gnome is running, it's installed | 19:07 |
| bliss_ | o unbuntu now you make a seperate gui for wine apps woo | 19:07 |
| Gre2 | I purchased Ubuntu yesterday and have been up since trying to get it configured and working properly on my new computer. I went to the website and I see 7.10 available for DL free. Since I bought 7.4 yesterday, is the upgrade to 7.10 a trial version or something? | 19:07 |
| zoexii | sethk, sorry, I don't understand java well... what is a vm and where do I find it? the file I normally launch is a script I think. | 19:08 |
| Farquad | sethk, i did a locate xorg.conf and nothing | 19:08 |
| jrib | Gre2: "purchased"? | 19:08 |
| PriceChild | Gre2, ubuntu is *free* | 19:08 |
| Gre2 | Bought it from Frye's with a big book | 19:08 |
| sethk | zoexii, right. The first line of the script is probably something like: #!/xxx/xxx/xxx/java (whatever the path is). | 19:08 |
| PriceChild | Gre2, you can upgrade to 7.10 from an existing 7.04 if you want? | 19:08 |
| asathoor | !xorg.cong | 19:08 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xorg.cong - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:08 |
| sethk | zoexii, try changing it to match the one that you believe works properly. | 19:08 |
| astro76 | Gre2, you bought the book, Ubuntu is free ;) | 19:08 |
| asathoor | !xorg.conf | 19:08 |
| bliss_ | ok how about this my x11 dir is missing gone gmd cant find it | 19:08 |
| ubotu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 19:08 |
| Gre2 | Got ya! | 19:08 |

| sethk | Farquad, run updatedb to make sure all files are indexed | 19:09 |
| Gre2 | Well, now that I found you guys, maybe I can get it working | 19:09 |
| PriceChild | Gre2, I'm sure that book will explain the upgrade process ;) But if not, then /msg ubotu upgrade | 19:09 |

| Gre2 | been at it 13 hours straight now | 19:09 |

| adamski84 | ok currently installing the game through wine,is there any configuration changes i will need to make to optimize the performance of the game ill be running? | 19:09 |
| bliss_ | where can i get or install a x11 dir? | 19:09 |
| sethk | Gre2, 7.4 is fine. 7.10 is just a bit newer. | 19:09 |
| Borat | Hey guys, i updated a week ago, and all of a sudden my wireless doesnt work (IPW2200), but my wired works fine... | 19:09 |
| asathoor | bliss >> /etc/X11 | 19:10 |
| DShepherd | what program can i use to convert a flv file to mpg/mov/avi file? | 19:10 |
| sethk | bliss_, it's X11, not x11, and it's highly unlikely that you don't have it. | 19:10 |
| LjL | Gre2, if you just installed it, it's probably easier and faster to reinstall 7.10 (the current version) from scratch rather than upgrading | 19:10 |
| jrib | bliss_: what exactly do you want to do? | 19:10 |
| matttis | how can I stop firefox from checking the spelling ? | 19:10 |
| ere4si | DShepard: avidemux | 19:10 |
| Gre2 | Well, here's my problem that the website says upgrading will fix: I have a brand new GeForce 8400GS and I cannot, for the life of me, get it to work properly. I've followed the instructions from the website at nvidia, the book I bought, and the ubuntu and I still have to load in a safe graphic mode | 19:10 |
| sethk | Gre2, I agree with LjL, start fresh and you might as well start with the latest if you can download it and burn a cd. | 19:10 |
| froystig | HTTP Download of Ubuntu can take all day. Is there a torrent? | 19:10 |

| rsk | froystig: yes | 19:11 |
| Jordan_U | froystig, Of course | 19:11 |
| adamski84 | i have downloaded the nvidia drivers how do i install them? | 19:11 |
| LjL | adamski84: don't. | 19:11 |
| Gre2 | yikes. I already did | 19:11 |
| LjL | adamski84: please use the drivers that are packaged in the official repositories. | 19:11 |
| froystig | thanks | 19:11 |
| LjL | !nvidia > adamski84 (adamski84, see the private message from Ubotu) | 19:11 |
| jrib | Gre2: try installing 7.10 and come back if it's still not working is probably the best course of action | 19:11 |
| Jordan_U | adamski84, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager | 19:11 |
| Farquad | i have a /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.roster | 19:11 |
| Gre2 | ok | 19:11 |
| Gre2 | brb | 19:11 |
| kthakore | sethk, which log holds the startup info | 19:11 |
| Gre2 | OH! Before I do | 19:11 |
| Gre2 | If I DL it while running in the safe graphics mode from the CD, will the files work such that I can reboot in regular mode? | 19:12 |
| CppIsWeird | i left a ubuntu computer on for 18 days, when i came back to it, it was having serious network card issues, a reboot fixed it but i need to know why this computer is unstable. I didnt think to save the dmesg output but it did have a lot of trash about my network interface, one of the key things i remember is something suggesting that the IRQ was being blocked or something, anyone have any idea how I can resolve why this occured? | 19:12 |
| LjL | Gre2, if you download stuff while on the CD, it will be *lost at next reboot* if you don't specifically tell it to save it to a HD | 19:12 |
| DShepherd | ere4si, can i use it on the commandline? | 19:12 |
| Gre2 | And thank you very much for the help thusfar. Wish I knew you guys existed last night. :D | 19:12 |
| zoexii | sethk, ok, I changed the relative path of java vm in the launch scipt to absolute path... now the alias works in bash (from xterm) but fails when typed in RUN APPLICATION DIALOUGE. is there a way to make this work? | 19:13 |
| kthakore | CppIsWeird, what type of network are u on wireless, samba, and are u on windows network | 19:13 |
| Gre2 | is the desktop considered part of the harddrive in Ub? | 19:13 |

| asathoor | Gre2: u could use Nero as a burner if you are using windows | 19:16 |
| LjL | adamski84: use the driver from Ubuntu. even if it's not the very most recent (but i believe it is), it's the one that's been tested with Ubuntu. installing the driver from nvidia will have two downsides: one, it's not been tested with Ubuntu, and two, you'll break the package managing, which will mean a lot of bad things, including for instance breakage after a kernel update | 19:16 |

| kayce | does anyone know how to get a dial-up winmodem (windows modem) to work on Linux? | 19:17 |
| LjL | adamski84: you should *always* stick to software from the repositories when it is available. when it is not available, the second-best choice is to use .deb files specifically made for Ubuntu. when stuff really has to be installed manually, it should *never* be libraries or drivers, but at most end-user applications, and you should be careful to only install them in /usr/local or /opt | 19:17 |
| CppIsWeird | kthakore: dont know the make of the card, what is the relevance of the question? | 19:17 |
| Drixx | so shud i use compiz ? | 19:17 |
| bliss_ | ompaul: i do not want a desktop | 19:17 |
| jrib | asathoor: how? | 19:17 |
| kthakore | CppIsWeird, np most of them are supported anyway just cjheckin | 19:17 |
| asathoor | Gre2: rightclick and choose open by filesystem | 19:17 |
| kthakore | CppIsWeird, are u on a windows network with samba | 19:17 |
| CppIsWeird | it works | 19:17 |
| CppIsWeird | its working now | 19:17 |

| Drixx | ubotu: shud i use compiz ? | 19:18 |

| CppIsWeird | yeah, sure, but it wasnt used at all during the 18 days | 19:18 |
| Jordan_U | Fer_re[xchat], :( looks like you're right, you can however copy and shrink another HFS+ partition, what do you need it for? ( I know that it's what OSx uses by default ) | 19:18 |

| asathoor | Drixx >> ubotu is a (ro)bot | 19:18 |
| kthakore | DShepherd, avidemux neet grestream ugly plugins to handel flv I believe | 19:18 |
| ere4si | DSheperd: ffmpeg will - but be prepared for some reading :) | 19:18 |

| Jonny0stars | hello | 19:19 |
| strav | now. anyone have a .deb of the 2.6.22 kernel using slab instead of slub? | 19:20 |
| LjL | Gre2: for starters, you said you followed the instructions at the nvidia website - but you should *not* install the driver from the nvidia site, but rather use the one provided with Ubuntu. if it doesn't work, we can try and help you fix it, but using the raw driver from nvidia will only lead to further trouble mostly | 19:20 |
| Jonny0stars | i have a VNC server setup and a ssh connection can i run a command on ssh to output to the VNC desktop ? | 19:20 |
| DShepherd | kthakore, i seem to have gstreamer ugl already installed | 19:20 |
| Jordan_U | rsk, compiz-fusion uses compiz BTW, it's a replacement for compiz-extras, not compiz itself | 19:20 |
| kthakore | DShepherd, how about ffmeg and the rest of them | 19:20 |
| Gre2 | I tried to install the one from the nvidia website, but it never worked. It said I was running an X Server and that I needed to quit the X Server to install the drivers. Never could figure out how to do that short of killing all graphics and going to the text-mode | 19:21 |
| ompaul | bliss_, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg | 19:21 |
| Gre2 | So I updated my repositories and still no go. | 19:21 |
| kthakore | DShepherd, have you considered converting to avi first I recently read a how to on flv to avi on ubuntu google it | 19:21 |
| Fer_re[xchat] | Jordan_U: MacOSX-x86, but default installer's Disk Utility can't format any partition through unknown errors (but gparted do it withoiut any warnings).. | 19:21 |
| kayce | can anyone help me? i'm trying to get my dial-up winmodem to work in Linux | 19:21 |
| Gre2 | I followed the books instructions to a T, as well as the installation instructions on ubuntu and when I rebooted, all I got was a locked up black screen. | 19:21 |
| DShepherd | kthakore, ok. that is what i am trying to do. convert from flv to avi. so of course. :D, I have considered it | 19:22 |
| cbx33 | hey all | 19:22 |

| kthakore | DShepherd, oh ok I jumped in the middle there | 19:22 |
| Jordan_U | Drixx, Compiz-fusion uses compiz | 19:22 |
| Gre2 | you are a godsend | 19:22 |
| kthakore | DShepherd, let me find it for u | 19:22 |
| Drixx | oh kk | 19:22 |
| kthakore | DShepherd, here u go http://www.linux.com/feature/56642 | 19:23 |
| DShepherd | kthakore, i think ffmpeg -i file.flv file.avi should work | 19:23 |
| kthakore | DShepherd, works for me | 19:23 |
| Sharpie | does anyone know of anything like the gnome drawer applet? (one that works) | 19:24 |
| kthakore | DShepherd, this is a script for ease of use just stick it in /usr/local/bin | 19:24 |
| Farquad | how do i not have a xorg.conf file anywhere | 19:24 |
| DShepherd | kthakore, sure | 19:24 |
| === [Fer_re] is now known as Fer_re | ||
| Gre2 | Doesn't Ubuntu need xorg.conf to start up? | 19:24 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, there sould be one in the add panel applets dialog right click on a panel | 19:24 |
| asathoor | try # locate xorg.conf | 19:25 |
| Sharpie | kthakore: i asked for one that works | 19:25 |
| Farquad | well i dont have one | 19:25 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, it doesn't work for you? any error? | 19:25 |
| Sharpie | kthakore: the gnome drawer applet takes about 2 seconds to open with compiz | 19:25 |
| Farquad | all i get is /usr/share/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz | 19:25 |
| Gre2 | I editted mine and borked it. I couldn't log in to any account and took about 3 hours getting back to square one. | 19:25 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, if you are using compiz regulary look in avant window navigator | 19:25 |
| Farquad | and /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.roster | 19:25 |
| skullr | why do i get this errror /dev/sda3 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive??? | 19:25 |
| Gre2 | So I don't recommend that. :D | 19:25 |
| Sharpie | kthakore: i want something like the drawer, not a huge launcher bar | 19:26 |
| skullr | i ran grub-install /dev/hda | 19:26 |
| ReS|UK | Messing with xorg.conf is only best if you have a backup so you can just rm the edited one. | 19:26 |
| ompaul | Gre2, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 19:26 |
| Gre2 | I did that many times, but for some reason, it never worked | 19:26 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, hmm are u using ur own configurations for compiz or the defualt ones | 19:26 |
| Gre2 | The problem I ran into was that I have an on-board Video Card and my GeForce | 19:26 |

| ompaul | Gre2, cos you have to choose something else - try the "Vesa" or "nv" driver | 19:27 |
| Sharpie | kthakore: custom | 19:27 |
| Gre2 | Is nv nvidia? | 19:27 |
| skullr | why /dev/sda3 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive | 19:27 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, do u have put on? | 19:27 |
| skullr | can anyone help me please | 19:27 |
| asathoor | skullr >> your problem??? | 19:27 |
| ompaul | Gre2, the OSS (open source software) version - and if you only installed in the last day then maybe a fresh install would be great if you can't get it right - but | 19:27 |
| Gre2 | Wish I could help Skull. This is but day two of my Linux adventure. | 19:28 |

| MichaelSammels | MP-BIOS bug 2854: timer not connected to IO-APIC | 19:28 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, do u have anything from windows managaement on | 19:28 |
| MichaelSammels | so I used the noapic and nolapic flags, but nothing is helping me at all. If I use either flag it loads up the BusyBox shell about 13 seconds after the Splash Screen is showing. | 19:28 |
| skullr | and when i put the grub-install /dev/hda | 19:28 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, click on Window Management on the left | 19:29 |
| Sharpie | kthakore: almost everything | 19:29 |
| skullr | i got this error /dev/sda3 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive | 19:29 |
| Sharpie | kthakore: i'm not a noob =\ | 19:29 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, not trying to imply that | 19:29 |
| Jarhyn | perhaps a goat sacrifice will help appease the gods to put the blue smoke back in... | 19:29 |
| Gre2 | Okay, just to reiterate, once the download completes, I will be able to run it from the desktop and upgrade to 7.10? | 19:29 |
| ompaul | Gre2, you can boot the Live CD and then you copy the xorg.conf from the livecd into the /etc/X11/ directory on the hard drive | 19:29 |
| Sharpie | kthakore: anyway, it's a known bug and i think it was in launchpad too, that's why i'm looking for anything similar | 19:29 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, check ur windows rules and check if any of the feils have panel on it | 19:30 |
| Brownster | skullr, r u trying to restore the mbr from a live cd? | 19:30 |
| ompaul | Gre2, you should - as long as your machine is running okay now | 19:30 |
| Gre2 | It is, off the CD | 19:30 |
| skullr | yes | 19:30 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, I know I had this problem too | 19:30 |
| Gre2 | I can't run it off my computer because of the video card. It locks up at the black screen | 19:30 |
| Sharpie | kthakore: any of the fails? | 19:30 |
| ompaul | Gre2, then you are not upgrading are you - you are doing a fresh install | 19:30 |
| Gre2 | I would assume so | 19:30 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, Bascially compiz was trying to move the panel applet arround | 19:30 |
| Gre2 | I think | 19:30 |
| Gre2 | maybe | 19:30 |
| Sharpie | kthakore: and anyway, no, no panel | 19:30 |
| skullr | Brownster, yes | 19:31 |
| Gre2 | not so sure | 19:31 |
| skullr | Brownster, i'm trying form a lived cd | 19:31 |
| Brownster | skullr, mmm 2 ways to do this | 19:31 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, hmmm | 19:31 |
| skullr | Brownster, please | 19:31 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, that was the thing that cose my panel drawers to be slow | 19:31 |
| MichaelSammels | No help? | 19:31 |
| Jarhyn | just remember, the blue smoke means that you have angered the gods | 19:31 |
| skullr | Brownster, ??? | 19:31 |
| Brownster | skullr, u can boot from the live cd to the grub menu then use the grub command line to | 19:31 |
| Brownster | skullr, im typing! | 19:31 |
| Sharpie | kthakore: not for me | 19:32 |
| kthakore | Sharpie, my advice would be to check all of you compiz affects and see if any of them affect your panel | 19:32 |

| Gre2 | I sure hope it doesn't because I still have half a bag of Cheez-Its left and I don't want them to end up wallpapering my computer room. | 19:33 |
| Sharpie | kthakore: i set compiz to "extra" and the problem remains, it's not my settings that caused it | 19:33 |

| piotruntu | hello guys | 19:45 |
| yubwyub | what do i press to see the cube ? | 19:45 |
| Jordan_U_ | mular, totem is not great for DVD's, I would go with VLC / gxine /mplayer | 19:45 |
| tacone | Gre2: great ! | 19:45 |
| Gre2 | *crosses fingers* | 19:45 |
| fabr | yubwyub: ctrl+alt+mouse tilt | 19:46 |
| Jordan_U_ | !ccsm | yubwyub | 19:46 |
| ubotu | yubwyub: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 19:46 |
| tacone | yubwyub: ctr+alt + drag drop | 19:46 |
| Brownster | skullr, r u mounting root, proc and dev before chrooting? | 19:46 |
| tony_math | ChromeTiger_: is "Rotate Cube" also checked in compiz-manager as well? | 19:46 |
| sYn_0n3 | sup fellow ubuntuers | 19:46 |
| yubwyub | fabr "mouse tilt" ? | 19:46 |
| Gre2 | So, once 7.10 is installed, how do I go about resolving the black screen problem with my video card? | 19:46 |
| piotruntu | When I try to play flash movies Firefox crashes after a while. I got the adobe flash thingy. | 19:46 |
| poningru | Gre2: black screen problem? | 19:46 |
| fabr | yubwyub: yeah, like click and drag. | 19:46 |
| Gre2 | I've tried getting nvidia drivers, but I haven't had much luck | 19:46 |
| fabr | docgnome: /poke | 19:46 |
| poningru | Gre2: whats the problem? | 19:46 |
| tacone | yubwyub: ctrl+alt+ left mouse button pressed and move the mouse | 19:47 |
| skullr | Brownster, how do i unmount chroot?? | 19:47 |
| docgnome | fabr: sorry. was afk for a second | 19:47 |
| fabr | docgnome: Okay, let's get in #helpmec, since I'm not identified ^.^ | 19:47 |
| yubwyub | thanks tacone | 19:47 |
| Brownster | skullr, u dont, type exit | 19:47 |
| tacone | yubwyub: works ? | 19:47 |
| Gre2 | Yea, I am using a brand new GeForce 8400GS, but so far, I can't get it to work. When I updated the drivers it just loads to the black screen and stops | 19:47 |
| Jordan_U_ | skullr, "exit" | 19:47 |
| Gre2 | I see nothing, I can do nothing | 19:47 |
| Gre2 | When I took out the video card and hooked the monitor into the onboard POS one, it ran fine | 19:47 |
| tacone | Gre2: which videocard you have ? | 19:47 |
| Brownster | skullr, mount in this order, root, then proc then dev then chroot | 19:47 |
| sethk | Gre2, try using the "nv" driver | 19:47 |
| windego40 | hello all | 19:47 |
| mular | does 30min dvd rip times seem "average"? using k9copy | 19:48 |
| Gre2 | GeForce 8400GS, and I will have to try that Seth | 19:48 |
| tacone | Gre2: | 19:48 |
| yubwyub | yep it works :-) | 19:48 |
| sethk | Gre2, that's an open source driver that supports nvidia but does only 2d. that will tell us whether it is, or isn't the driver | 19:48 |
| Brownster | skullr i take it grub worked ok then it got hosed? | 19:48 |
| tacone | Gre2: try restricted drivers section | 19:48 |
| windego40 | i was wondering if anyone could help me getting ubuntu 7.10 boot from my usb drive | 19:48 |
| poningru | mular: what do you mean rip? | 19:48 |
| Gre2 | Tacone: Restricted Drivers? | 19:48 |
| tacone | yubwyub: nice ! | 19:48 |
| sethk | Gre2, I have a new machine at work with an 8600, and I had to use the driver from nvidia's web site to get 3d, but that's rare. | 19:48 |
| tacone | System>administration->restr.. | 19:48 |
| gandhii | Is there a gui program for handling par2 and/or p7zip? | 19:49 |
| piotruntu | When i use firefox, i always get no response when im at a site that uses flash (youtube). i have adobe flash installed but people said downloading it through firefox is what gives it the problem, how do i fix all of this? | 19:49 |
| makuseru | hi, when i try to run a program called dguitar i get this error, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48476/ what does it mean, how can i fix it? | 19:49 |
| poningru | mular: dude keep it in the channel | 19:49 |
| sethk | piotruntu, actually, that's backwards. downloading it through firefox is what usually makes it work. | 19:49 |
| poningru | mular: how big is the dvd? double layered? | 19:50 |
| RoDoX | piotruntu: the same problem here... | 19:50 |
| piotruntu | hmmm | 19:50 |
| poningru | !7z | 19:50 |
| ubotu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 19:50 |
| mular | not a double layer cd | 19:50 |
| piotruntu | i tried getting it througth teh mozilla plugin page and I got a link to the adobe page downlaod instrall and then crash | 19:50 |
| tacone | !wmv | 19:51 |
| poningru | mular: does it show up as 9gigs or 4.7? | 19:51 |
| ubotu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 19:51 |
| mular | well the dvd that I am ripping is double layer, but I am shrinking it to 4.7 | 19:51 |
| BjoeHrn | Use anyone fglrx and the desktop effects? | 19:51 |
| Gre2 | "Your Hardware does not need any restricted drivers" | 19:51 |
| Gre2 | Does it matter if I am running off the CD right now? | 19:51 |
| Gre2 | See, here's my main problem: I install 7.04 off my CD, reboot, and it locks up unless I load with a safe graphics mode, which is from the cd. | 19:51 |
| gandhii | ubotu: yea.. but not rar's.. or par's for that matter | 19:51 |
| poningru | piotruntu: what are you trying to do? | 19:51 |
| poningru | !rar | 19:51 |
| ubotu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 19:51 |
| piotruntu | fix the plugin for flash I guess | 19:51 |
| tacone | Gre2: it's because you don't have the card plugged in I guess | 19:51 |
| Gre2 | See, here's my main problem: I install 7.04 off my CD, reboot, and it locks up unless I load with a safe graphics mode, which is from the cd. | 19:51 |
| gandhii | thanks | 19:51 |
| piotruntu | because it makes firefox unresposive when I try to go on youtube and sucj | 19:51 |
| sethk | Gre2, if it says "does not need restricted", then either the repo nvidia driver doesn't have support for your card, or it's misidentifying your card. I think the nv driver may be what you need. | 19:51 |
| Gre2 | And I have the card plugged in. | 19:51 |
| shamas | can somebody help me with screenlets manager? | 19:52 |
| cleaton | Gre2, use the safe graphics while you upgrade to 7.10 | 19:52 |
| Gre2 | Thanks Seth. Do you think 7.10 will see my card | 19:52 |
| tacone | Gre2: sigh | 19:52 |
| RoDoX | pitruntu: i did it as well, and then I uninstalled FF. Once i already had automatix2, it got the MPlayer for firerox and the flash plugin but it still didnt work | 19:52 |
| Gre2 | Tacone: I know. approaching the 14 hour mark. | 19:52 |
| tacone | Gre2: i guess 7.10 improved support | 19:52 |
| sethk | Gre2, yes, since it finds my 8600, I believe it will find your 8400 | 19:52 |
| shamas | I'm getting an error: unable to connect or launch daemon, some values may be displayed incorrectly | 19:52 |
| Jummy | Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,or Opera browser, but when i type /usr/lib/mozilla he says it's an invalid path oO | 19:52 |
| Jordan_U | !automatix | RoDoX | 19:52 |
| ubotu | RoDoX: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 19:52 |
| sethk | Gre2, obviously, each new version supports newer cards | 19:52 |
| RoDoX | although ppl in here says that automatix2 is not recommended... | 19:52 |
| poningru | Jummy: what are you trying to do | 19:52 |
| atlef | !automatix | RoDoX | 19:53 |
| tacone | Gre2: anyway 7.10 is worth an upgrade routine :-) | 19:53 |
| Gre2 | I hope so. I was getting rather mad and with my old XP computer, I went through 4 mice in the 3 years I've had it. Didn't want to lose one on the first day of Linux. | 19:53 |
| sethk | RoDoX, a lot of people have reported that automatix borked their machine. | 19:53 |
| ^^barbi^^ | hey | 19:53 |
| Dr_willis | automatix is highly NOT recommended. :) | 19:53 |
| RoDoX | Jordan_U: yeah man, I got it and i read the article.. ;-) | 19:53 |
| Jummy | i wannt to install flash plugin because i got no sound in videos @ firefox | 19:53 |
| piotruntu | Rodox: u also have problem ? | 19:53 |
| RoDoX | piotruntu: yeah | 19:53 |
| Dr_willis | Jummy, installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package yet? | 19:53 |
| piotruntu | u tried the adobe plugin right ? | 19:53 |
| * Dr_willis wonders if the flash 'bug' has been fixed yet? | 19:54 | |
| Jummy | Dr_willis: nope | 19:54 |
| Dr_willis | Jummy, its a must get. :) intalls java and a lot of other bits you will proberly want also. | 19:54 |
| Jummy | i don't know anything about this package | 19:54 |
| Dr_willis | !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | 19:54 |
| tacone | Dr_willis: i have no problems with sound in flash with 7.10 | 19:54 |
| Jummy | !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | 19:54 |
| cleaton | !upgrade | 19:54 |
| RoDoX | i also realized that FF is too "heavy" on my machine...The browser consumes up to 76MB of ram with 2 tabs opened up...is that normal? | 19:54 |
| tacone | but I had with 7.04 | 19:54 |
| Jummy | tacone: me to :D | 19:54 |
| piotruntu | Is it possible to try Gnash in Feisty ? | 19:54 |
| Dr_willis | tacone, im referng to the md5 issue that showed up last week. | 19:54 |
| ubotu | ubuntu-restricted-extras: Commonly used restricted packages. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10 (gutsy), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB | 19:54 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 19:54 |
| tacone | RoDoX: yes :-( | 19:55 |
| RoDoX | tacone: what about FF3 'gran paradiso'? | 19:55 |
| RoDoX | have they (mozilla) fixed it? =P | 19:55 |
| piotruntu | Is Gnash avaliable for Fesity Users ? | 19:55 |
| tacone | RoDoX: i don't know, but I don't think they're going to work on it. FF works fine on newer computers | 19:55 |
| Jordan_U | RoDoX, It's much better, get the Beta though ( Gran paradiso was the alpha ) | 19:55 |
| sethk | RoDoX, "normal" has no accepted definition. There are other browsers available that are lighter weight, but I find that so many sites rely on heavy features that it's best to not fight the trend. | 19:56 |
| tacone | RoDoX: try to disabled fast forward-rewind | 19:56 |
| soldats | !gnash | 19:56 |
| ubotu | An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 19:56 |
| Jasnation | hi, I am following this howto- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=18106 -and have made the changes to xorg.conf. however, when I login, either the x server or GNOME crashes/restarts, and I am back at the login window. if I chose failsafe gnome as the session, I can login and see the desktop, but I can't really do anything because its failsafe gnome. | 19:56 |
| Jasnation | any suggestions? | 19:56 |
| piotruntu | how do i completely remove firefox and all the addons that came with it. When i install firefox again I dont want it to have adobe flash already installed on it, i want to install that separately | 19:56 |
| Gre2 | Great | 19:56 |
| Gre2 | Now I'm getting errors trying to upgrade | 19:56 |
| Gre2 | I'll copy and paste | 19:56 |
| cleaton | !paste | 19:56 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 19:56 |
| Muse | what do i install to get multiple codecs for videos and mp3s, since they are not working right now | 19:56 |
| Gre2 | Lost con again | 19:57 |
| RoDoX | tacone: fast forward-rewind? | 19:57 |
| utty | anyone know a key gen for hsfmodem to enable full speed | 19:57 |
| Gre2 | Update manager is locked | 19:57 |
| tacone | RoDoX: firefox memorize past pages | 19:57 |
| Dr_willis | piotruntu, if you installed flash system wide. You need to remove flash system wide. Removing firefox wont remove the other packages | 19:57 |
| tacone | you can disable that | 19:57 |
| loko_loko | hola a tod@s | 19:57 |
| loko_loko | que cuentan? | 19:57 |
| tacone | also it seems they are working on the memory issue http://www.google.com/search?q=firefox+reduce+memory+usage&btnG=Search | 19:57 |
| piotruntu | Dr Willis: whatd o u mena by wide ? | 19:57 |
| danil | i get gibberish all over the screen when i try to run a ncurses (which is emulating termcap) program, after which i can't use the terminal anymore because all the chaacters are wrong. what's wrong? | 19:57 |
| Jummy | but how to install a .deb package? | 19:57 |
| Dr_willis | piotruntu, if you used the flash deb packages.. you just isntalled it for everyobne | 19:58 |
| RoDoX | tacone: but that happens only when the machine gets turned off accidentally...then it memorize the last pages you visited...right | 19:58 |
| robdig | !es | loko_loko | 19:58 |
| ubotu | loko_loko: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 19:58 |
| tdoggette | Is there a way to add thumbnail support to Firefox's file selection, either by modifying or replacing gtkfilechooser? | 19:58 |
| tacone | RoDoX: no, rodox | 19:58 |
| Muse | can somebody tell me. i remember a package to install that gets alot of codecs... what was the name | 19:58 |
| Dr_willis | !w32codecs | 19:58 |
| ubotu | The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages | 19:58 |
| Tyczek|PC | I don't know how to install that radeon hd ;/ | 19:58 |
| tacone | RoDoX: it keeps in mind the last 3-4-5 pages you visited in order to let you go back more fast (with the back button) | 19:58 |
| piotruntu | how do i completely get rid of adobe flash ? | 19:59 |
| tdoggette | Muse, w32codecs | 19:59 |
| Dr_willis | piotruntu, use the package manager - if thats how you installed it. | 19:59 |
| Muse | tdoggette: how to get them.. also i remember another package name | 19:59 |
| tacone | RoDoX: also watchout for the extensions you use, some have some serious memory leak http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions | 19:59 |
| Jummy | Dr_willis: i downloaded the .deb file but i dont know how to install im a ubuntu noob | 19:59 |
| Dr_willis | Jummy, what .deb ? | 19:59 |
| RoDoX | tacone: you know, i realized that even minimized, the 'firefox-bin' keeps screwing up my memory eating it so much... | 19:59 |
| Jummy | Dr_willis: ubuntu-restricted-extras_10_sparc.deb | 20:00 |
| Gre2 | grr | 20:00 |
| piotruntu | Dr Willis: I installed it in through firefox! | 20:00 |
| Dr_willis | Jummy, normally one does not download individual .deb files - you use the package manager. and let IT install the stuff. You are wasteing your dime downloading that .deb manually | 20:00 |
| cleaton | Gre2, what are you doing now? | 20:00 |
| Brownster | Jasnation, when it crashes does the message mention using failsafe screen | 20:00 |
| tdoggette | Muse, sudo apt-get install w32codecs | 20:00 |
| electro_ | has anyone gotten wpa to work with gibbon? | 20:00 |
| Gre2 | Lost connection in the middle of a DL, now my update manager says "Software Index is broken - Run Synaptic" click to run Synaptic - "Another Synaptic is running, wait for it to finish" | 20:00 |
| poningru | Jummy: you are running it in spark? | 20:01 |
| othinspear | hi can some one help me im trying to get audacity to work on ubuntu but im not getting any sound cooming out alll my other programs have sound and iv try the obvious | 20:01 |
| Dr_willis | piotruntu, i have no idea then. If it just installeed fotr that user. its proberly in the .firefox/.mozilla dir. | 20:01 |
| poningru | er sparc? | 20:01 |
| tdoggette | Muse, google ubuntu codecs | 20:01 |
| tacone | RoDoX: firefox is heavy. that's widely-accepted truth. you can only try to get things a little better. like http://howto.helpero.com/howto/Reduce-Firefox-Memory-Usage_4.html | 20:01 |
| kbrooks | gandhii: i'm not sure if any program supports both, but http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Flinux.softpedia.com%2Fget%2FSystem%2FArchiving%2FPAR2GUI-23741.shtml&ei=tINlR6msCoHWgQK4x_n-Dg&usg=AFQjCNEWjlwoLclad8XL2vmwmKz7Z8liiQ&sig2=NP2E_FZy8wwBaEyQ7RgHVg could work for par2 and the archive manager supports it when you install the corresponding package | 20:01 |

| poningru | Daniel^: what are you trying to do? | 20:02 |
| DShepherd | kthakore, yeah, it seemed to work | 20:02 |

| Brownster | electro_, no ones gonna admit to that | 20:02 |
| ryantmer | Long question: I have an old laptop (Twinhead Slimnote VX) which I put Kubuntu 6.06 LTS on. Worked fine, but no sound, and considering I want to use it as a jukebox, no good. So I installed 7.10, sound works now, but the touchpad doesn't work anymore! Anybody have any idea what the difference is between 6.06 and 7.10 in this respect, and any way to fix it? | 20:02 |
| othinspear | i would like to know if i can turn ubuntu into ubuntu studion without reinstalling the whole system | 20:02 |
| electro_ | lol | 20:02 |
| cleaton | electro_, wpa just works for me | 20:02 |
| sethk | kthakore, ok ... | 20:02 |
| kthakore | sethk, I swithced it back and no more problem apparently dbus was been started at wrong time in boot queque | 20:02 |
| sethk | othinspear, I believe so, but I haven't done that specific transformation. | 20:03 |
| Brownster | electro_, mine works ok, ive got an edimax card rt2500 driver | 20:03 |
| Dr_willis | othinspear, check the ubuntu-studio homepage/wiki/faq - proberly they have some repos you add. and a meta-pacakge you can install | 20:03 |
| kthakore | DShepherd, awesome enjoy | 20:03 |
| cleaton | electro_, i don't have to do anything special i have a intel chipset wireless | 20:03 |

| sethk | electro_, that usually means the handshake is failing. Trying using a hex key instead of a pass phrase. | 20:03 |
| kthakore | DShepherd, np hey do u know how to get videos of veoh | 20:03 |
| kthakore | DShepherd, or atleast the flv | 20:04 |
| electro_ | wpa will take hex? | 20:04 |
| DShepherd | kthakore, veoh? | 20:04 |
| RoDoX | tacone: thanks for the links. i'm gonna take a look at them right now...but i really think that mozilla should study this case a lot in order to make FF to become 'hungryless'...and the only addon im using is the mcafee site advisor...nothing that much heavy...5MB | 20:04 |
| adamski84 | how do i get my games to run in full screen mode with wine? | 20:04 |
| kthakore | DShepherd, its like youtube but better | 20:04 |
| DShepherd | kthakore, oh, no | 20:04 |
| sethk | electro_, Yes, although I can't tell you the mechanics for it. | 20:04 |
| Greg | cleaton? | 20:04 |
| tonyyarusso | utty: While I wish they made the source available and free of charge, that doesn't make it okay to pirate the software, so unfortunately you'll just have to cough up the $19.99 and be glad it at least works. | 20:04 |
| Greg | I got booted | 20:05 |
| electro_ | ok thanks, ill try that | 20:05 |
| othinspear | ok im trying to figure out why audacity will not work gi is there but iv got no sound | 20:05 |

| electro_ | oh does 7.10 have support for wireless N? | 20:06 |
| sethk | wems, you can run from CD, but that's not really what you asked. | 20:06 |

| scragar | wems: files yes, executables not unless you use something like wine to force compatability, and then the drive is different and will cause problems | 20:07 |
| tacone | i am also looking for games that run fine in wine | 20:07 |

| ubotu | spyder: 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 | 20:35 |

| eTranquility | Can anyone help me with installing fonts in gnome? I've tried to copy them into fonts:///, but it tells me the files already exist in the folder and asks whether I want to replace, skip, etc. I know they don't already exist, I've just downloaded them.

| sethk | brylie, that might work; not much you can do without disk access. Network quotas. You might have to punt a bit to get what you want, but I think it's possible | 20:43 |
| hottis | unique: you should first define what you mean by 3d | 20:43 |

| johnsky | I have an issue upgrading to Ubuntu 7.10. I have allocated a partition at the beginning of my hard drive specifically for /boot. Problem is, when upgrading, it needs to add a few things to /boot and I didn't plan ahead. Short of repartitioning that entire area of my hard drive, is there anything I can do? What files in /boot are necessary, and what can be eliminated? | 20:45 |
| lifeforms | hmm, now that VM doesn't come up at boot at all anymore.. probably looking at a VMware issue rather than an Ubuntu issue | 20:45 |
| Brownster | unique, nothing stops u installing all the kde desktop if you want and switch between them.. | 20:45 |

| fabr_ | Hello, anyone with some knowledge in C that can help me out? Thanks. | 20:48 |
| sethk | spyder, it's already there (it's a command line utility). Using it protects you from changes, such as the fact that the information you are talking about is system wide and is being migrated from /proc to /sys. | 20:49 |
| spyder | wols: ok im new to linux/unix im use to windows where if theres one user its the admin | 20:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rico_: I have a link for that.. one sec | 20:49 |
| unique | Brownster: can ubuntu be installed from a floppy tho? | 20:49 |
| wols | fabr_: ##C | 20:49 |
| Brownster | eTranquility, im on a diff box (slackware at the mo) look in the path /usr/share/fonts/truetype or similar, just put them there | 20:49 |
| sethk | spyder, I can't say, though, weather it will fix your problem, you'll have to try it. | 20:49 |
| casdio | I have an Asus and Ubuntu 7.10. But i don't have sound... =/ Can you help me please? | 20:49 |
| wols | spyder: there are a lot more users in windows too. never just the admin | 20:49 |
| Brownster | eTranquility, did this and gimp / openoffice found them fine | 20:49 |
| wi1 | wols: ok how do i find out if it is 150 oder 300? | 20:49 |
| rico_ | Jack_Sparrow, I found a guide @ ubuntu-unleashed.blogspot.com, if that's also the ilnk you're referring to, hehe | 20:49 |
| robdig | brylie: i found a link that may have info that will help, but i'm not familiar with either package https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2006-June/001490.html | 20:50 |
| Brownster | unique, no | 20:50 |
| eTranquility | Brownster: I'm not sure how to do this since I'm not root. | 20:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rico_: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 20:50 |
| wols | wi1: read the manuals for your controller and your harddisk. no matter that no harddisk on the market right now reaches even 100MB(s | 20:50 |
| rico_ | sweet. thank you. :) | 20:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 20:50 |
| spyder | sethk: could you walk me through cause I just got lost...lol | 20:50 |
| wols | wi1: so it doing 150 is just as pointless as it doing 300 | 20:50 |
| rico_ | Jack_Sparrow, wouldn't modifying my partition table mess up my GRUB menu? | 20:51 |
| brylie | Isn't Sabayon a Gentoo based GNU/Linux distro? | 20:51 |
| Brownster | eTranquility, verify the path i just gave you then use, are the fonts zipped or archived, can u see the .ttf file extension? | 20:51 |
| eTranquility | Brownster: And if it helps, I'm trying to install fonts for Inkscape. It's fine if Inkscape is the only application that sees them but I don't know how to do that either. | 20:51 |
| RoDoX | tacone: it doesnt work. awkward | 20:51 |
| wi1 | wols: there are no manuals, i gotta find out from the device manager or something | 20:51 |
| rico_ | I mean, if my GRUB refers to an OS /dev/sdb5 (for example), that number can change if I repartition | 20:51 |
| eTranquility | Brownster: I've unzipped them. | 20:51 |
| wols | wi1: there always are maunals, even when there only exist on the inerweb | 20:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rico_: YEs, if you do not already have an extra partition. it WILL mess up all uuids | 20:51 |
| NET||abuse | hmm, my drive door won't open, i've tried right click and eject | 20:51 |
| NET||abuse | and just clicking the hardware eject button,, what's blocking it/ | 20:52 |
| Brownster | eTranquility, then use command 'sudo cp filename.ttf /path/to/truetypefonts/ | 20:52 |
| wols | NET||abuse: something's using that drive still | 20:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rico_: That is one of the reasons I try to always reconmmend people add a spare partition when they setup their systems | 20:52 |

| RoDoX | tacone: you know what? im gonna try out the new version and see if the problem continues.. | 20:53 |
| rico_ | Jack_Sparrow, oh those too. shouldn't the part where I modify fstab to use the new UUIDs be in the guide? :b | 20:53 |

| casdio | what is the super grub disk? | 20:56 |
| Brownster | eTranquility, k, worth reading up on :) before you start doing anything as root but in a nutshell, if you precede a path a / you are specifying an absolute path fromm the root dir, if you omit the / you are giving a path relative to the directory u are in | 20:56 |
| soldats | NET||abuse, if it wont open on some drives there a small hole ubove the tray and you insert a paperclip and it should open | 20:57 |
| eTranquility | Brownster: I tried "sudo cp /home/elizabeth/.gimp-2.2/fonts /usr/share/fonts/truetype" and got "cp: omitting directory `/home/elizabeth/.gimp-2.2/fonts'". | 20:57 |

| H4v1s | anyone have ideas if Gutsy works with Radeon X1650... cause if I use fglrx driver it just freezes | 21:05 |
| casdio | wols: Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller | 21:05 |
| wols | H4v1s: it's vesa or fglrx | 21:05 |
| * lukewarm looks into the distance | 21:05 | |
| wols | casdio: snd-hda-intel it is | 21:05 |
| x-man | gtg bbl | 21:05 |

| H4v1s | wols: now I'm running vesa... | 21:05 |
| achandrashekar | wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48484/ | 21:05 |
| achandrashekar | wols: thanks in advance | 21:06 |
| hhbcdxh | I run gutsy on 1650 | 21:06 |
| ChromeTiger_ | in ubunut 7.10 how do i turn on multiverse and universe repositories, or how to i know if i have them already turned on ? | 21:06 |
| H4v1s | wols: y | 21:06 |
| casdio | noob | 21:06 |
| casdio | :S | 21:06 |
| wols | achandrashekar: you haven't kernel headers installed | 21:06 |
| hhbcdxh | works fine | 21:06 |
| H4v1s | hhbcdxh, y | 21:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ChromeTiger_: easiest is synaptic | 21:06 |
| casdio | wols: i have no sound here, can you heklp me? | 21:06 |
| H4v1s | hhbcdxh: not rly;) I use vesa driver | 21:06 |
| jgoo | how do I revert back to the 'default' detected and set driver settings for my card? after installing it must have been using this 'default' driver for my 9200, and since I just want to see if it will support TV out, I want to try that (The nvidia is much louder!!) | 21:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ChromeTiger_: or manually edit your sources.list | 21:06 |
| wols | !sound | 21:06 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 21:06 |

| casdio | wols: thanks | 21:07 |
| hhbcdxh | ati | 21:07 |
| H4v1s | so witch driver should I use with x1650? | 21:07 |
| jgoo | hhbcdxh: TV out? | 21:07 |
| achandrashekar | wols: past the typical apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` is there anything else further?? | 21:07 |
| ChromeTiger_ | jack_sparrow: in synaptic it just asks for apt location there is no check box like in earlier versions | 21:07 |
| robert___ | is there anything similair to emerald that will work on an intel card? | 21:07 |
| achandrashekar | wols: because I performed that step already. | 21:07 |
| wols | achandrashekar: custom kernel or ubuntu kernel? | 21:07 |
| eromero | any ideas why a box can ping the outside world but not do apt-get install lynx ? nor ssh to any other box? ping seems to work fine it's a ubuntu server 7.10 | 21:08 |

| achandrashekar | wols: ubuntu | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ChromeTiger_: you can just select everything in synaptic ... remember to update.. the package lists | 21:08 |
| wols | achandrashekar: then I wouldn't knoe. you can check the configure.log and the other configure* files | 21:08 |
| wols | achandrashekar: but then you need to need to know some C | 21:08 |
| wols | ChromeTiger_: are you a LS scene refugee? | 21:09 |
| cyphase | Does anyone have any recommendations for a good, Linux-compatible audio device priced at around $100? | 21:09 |

| ChromeTiger_ | lol i still use LS on Vista | 21:10 |
| cyphase | wols: i meant an MP3 player type device :) | 21:10 |
| Pelo | erisco, check in menu > system > admin > users make sure your user has permission to logout | 21:11 |
| rpedro | I'm having trouble with 2d display speed on gutsy, with a nvidia card. Anyone know anything about this? it's only like this since I dist-upgraded from feisty. | 21:11 |
| wols | cyphase: #hardware. anything that will show up as a mass storage device is fine | 21:11 |
| MrObvious | Can someone tell me what I need to do to make a bunch of files I have a bootable CD? | 21:11 |
| Pelo | rpedro, try reinstalling the driver | 21:11 |
| wols | rpedro: maybe disable compiz | 21:11 |
| robert___ | is there anything similair to emerald that will work on an intel card? | 21:11 |
| cyphase | wols: i know | 21:11 |
| Pelo | MrObvious, did you try to make one already ? | 21:11 |
| cleaton | erisco, hm i had the same thing! :O but now it works again, i don't know what was wrong with it... | 21:12 |

| Firehazrd | can someone please direct me on how to enable mod_rewrite for apache2? | 21:12 |
| erisco | Pelo, there is no particular option for logging out... I cannot shut down through gnome either | 21:12 |
| Pelo | steelxenon, far from holy, more lke hellish | 21:12 |
| stroyan | robert__: I am using emerald on intel 945GM graphics. | 21:12 |
| wols | Donka: with hdparm | 21:12 |
| steelxenon | lol | 21:12 |
| erisco | Pelo, it occasionally works though | 21:12 |
| steelxenon | question after question | 21:12 |
| cleaton | erisco, it always worked for me, just that it took like a minute or two to load sometimes.... and the stystem was locked during that time | 21:13 |
| Donka | ok | 21:13 |
| erisco | cleaton, really now | 21:13 |
| steelxenon | you guys better simmer maybe you'll get an answer | 21:13 |
| lukewarm | steelxenon 1266 now | 21:13 |
| omar | ikkdftky | 21:13 |
| rpedro | Pelo: I have tried both nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new, and I checked a diff with a backup of xorg.conf I made before the dist-upgrade, and the file is exactly the same. I don't use compiz usually, but I ran it before and it worked fine. | 21:13 |
| cleaton | erisco, now it works instant, i don't know what i did to fix it | 21:13 |
| Pelo | erisco, I sometimes get a delay shuting down if I have some process still in the process of starting , like when I reboot rright after rebooting, if you get me | 21:13 |
| steelxenon | biggest irc room I ever saw | 21:13 |
| ChromeTiger_ | can someone point me to a good tutorial for fully turning on all repositories in Synaptic ? | 21:13 |

| omar | pussy | 21:13 |
| Donka | Wols: I have 2 cdroms Im not sure what to type in for the label | 21:14 |
| Pelo | rpedro, I can only suggest you attemps the binarie driver from the nvidia website | 21:14 |
| wols | Donka: not label. device names | 21:14 |
| steelxenon | hey omg | 21:14 |
| wols | Donka: /dev/hdc or such | 21:14 |
| steelxenon | When I start ubuntu I hear drums, what do I do? | 21:14 |
| Jaszbo | Jack, you in here still? | 21:14 |
| noobie1000 | Hi! I'm new to Linux in general; please Windows is good but why Linux? | 21:14 |
| cleaton | erisco, ok well instant wasn't the case ... but it's faster then before atleast. but i think it's still faster to open a terminal and do sudo poweroff | 21:14 |
| Pelo | steelxenon, get your ears checked | 21:14 |
| steelxenon | xD | 21:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes but busy.. | 21:14 |
| Pelo | steelxenon, seriously , menu > system > prefs > sounds | 21:14 |
| MrObvious | Pelo: Yes. I had a UIF which I'm trying to wine MagicISO to make an ISO but it's a pain. | 21:14 |
| noobie1000 | Hi! | 21:14 |
| Jaszbo | Oh ok. | 21:15 |
| wraund | !language | omar | 21:15 |
| ubotu | omar: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 21:15 |
| lukewarm | ChromeTiger_ : simply man sources.list will give you a good guide and the repos you need | 21:15 |
| steelxenon | im just acting like a noob | 21:15 |
| Donka | wols: hrmm how do i figure out the device name for it? | 21:15 |
| NET||abuse | hmm, what /dev/ file should my laptop drive be under? | 21:15 |
| stroyan | robert_: Install gutsy. Use the System -> Preferences -> visual appearance menu to set "Visual effects". | 21:15 |
| Jaszbo | Linux is free and just as powerful or more powerful than windows. | 21:15 |
| wraund | NET||abuse: depends on the HDD to motherboard connection type | 21:15 |
| wols | Donka: dmesg, the bootup messages for example | 21:15 |
| steelxenon | I love linux and gnome | 21:15 |
| noobie1000 | Jaszbo: Wow | 21:15 |
| ericl80427 | My ubuntu for some reason won't boot, or is having problems. | 21:15 |
| NET||abuse | wraund, just realised i could see the link to it with ls -l on /media/ | 21:15 |
| wols | noobie1000: sdX or hdX, some of those | 21:15 |
| ompaul | ericl80427, have you installed it? | 21:16 |
| Pelo | MrObvious, did you try making one with gnomebaker, it should only be a matter of getting the right kind of files on he cd, with dos you needed a sys.com file or something like that to make it bootable | 21:16 |
| wraund | NET||abuse: lol | 21:16 |
| lifeforms | @responders: I 'solved' the LTS-in-VMware hangage by going into the busybox shell and killing the parent process of the [aptitude] zombie... then re-did the "software installation" step.. then it continued without problem | 21:16 |
| Jaszbo | Truly. I use both windows and Linux, N00b, and Linux is by far more fun. | 21:16 |
| stroyan | robert___: your nick is awfully close to robert_ ;-) | 21:16 |
| ericl80427 | yes, | 21:16 |
| cleaton | noobie1000, it can also be a question of values | 21:16 |
| ompaul | ericl80427, did it every boot since it was installed? | 21:16 |
| MrObvious | Pelo: I'll try it. I extracted the files already but it's a pain. *sigh* I'll try gnomebaker and report back. I'll just make the ISO boot using qEMU to test to save making coasters. | 21:16 |
| robert_ | stroyan, you JUST NOW noticed? :P | 21:16 |
| docgnome | noobie1000: It's free as in beer and, probably, more importantly, free as in freedom | 21:16 |
| ericl80427 | i went to turn on my graphics card so i can use Desktop Effects and when i restarted its not booting | 21:16 |
| Jaszbo | Yes...Linux is a much more powerful operating system because of the freedom involved. | 21:16 |
| ericl80427 | yes it has | 21:17 |
| erisco | cleaton, Pelo, ah ha... after I waited long enough the menu finally came up | 21:17 |
| ericl80427 | It's just a black screen | 21:17 |
| erisco | cleaton, Pelo, it is a ridiculous amount of time though | 21:17 |
| Pelo | erisco, just do a little check of the apps you have running , you might just need to get rid of one | 21:17 |
| ompaul | ericl80427, start a live CD - copy from it its /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the hard drive - do you know how to do this? | 21:17 |
| robert___ | stroyan: i still dont have much in the wa of emerald | 21:17 |
| NET||abuse | ok, i cannot get my drive door open, does anyone know how to use an open command on the console? | 21:18 |
| Math^ | anyone know how to fix gutsy's bug with vga=791 ? | 21:18 |
| * Pelo is hating java again atm | 21:18 | |
| Math^ | I get a black screen | 21:18 |
| ericl80427 | well i have a live cd thats how i installed should i boot from that? | 21:18 |
| Jaszbo | I know this might be a little cliche, but I believe Jesus would use linux because of the principle behind it. That's it for my soap box. | 21:18 |
| ompaul | !bootoptions | Math^ | 21:18 |
| ubotu | Math^: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 21:18 |
| Math^ | ompaul | 21:18 |
| ompaul | ericl80427, it would be useful then come back here | 21:18 |
| Flare183 | Jaszbox:> i agree | 21:18 |
| Math^ | its not working, becouse of some bug | 21:18 |
| Jaszbo | Oh thank you flarebox | 21:19 |
| ericl80427 | ok, this is a different computer i can just have them both running | 21:19 |
| Donka | k got it , thx wols | 21:19 |
| NET||abuse | Flare183, i disagree,, he would probably use openBSD | 21:19 |
| Jaszbo | Flare | 21:19 |
| NET||abuse | freebsd,, or whatever it's called | 21:19 |
| ompaul | Math^, and will suggest you look at that page and implement the options as it suggests there | 21:19 |
| Jaszbo | Oh well, I mean something offered for free, niot necessarily Linux. | 21:19 |
| Math^ | ompaul: ok | 21:19 |
| x-man | and i'm back.. got off because i was afraid the processor was going to overheat... wol: i used gparted to partition the hardrive.. clicked "install". got to the 'prepare partitions' part and it still does nothing... | 21:19 |
| * Flare183 looks away in disgust | 21:19 | |
| NET||abuse | anyway,, i can't open my drive, i've a blank dvd stuck in there.. | 21:19 |
| Jaszbo | I think Linux or OpenBSD stand for something windows does not. | 21:19 |
| NET||abuse | can some one helpe me ? :) | 21:19 |
| x-man | wols: i find this odd because i've never had problems installing on this machine before | 21:20 |
| stroyan | robert___: If you have the compizconfig-settings-manager package installed you can run ccsm to set many appearance options. | 21:20 |
| NET||abuse | Jaszbo, well there's no argument that they both stand for some things that ms does not, though not neccessarily the same things | 21:20 |
| Pelo | NET||abuse, unfold a paperclip, look for a little hole jsut below the cd tray, push the paperclip in very straight | 21:20 |
| x-man | maybe suse has something which prevents ubuntu from overwriting it ;) | 21:20 |
| NET||abuse | Pelo, nads. | 21:20 |
| * Flare183 wishes that someone who create a compiz config manager for kde | 21:20 | |
| Pelo | nads ? | 21:20 |
| x-man | Pelo: gonads probably | 21:21 |
| Pelo | Flare183, you can run the compiz manager on kde , you'll just need a few extra libs | 21:21 |
| lockd | x-man: i saw that before, but I think it was fedora having something that a later fedora wouldn't touch | 21:21 |
| jgoo | GAH! I just got back to ATI driver, and my LCD looks burned... like the image is half onto the left... the resolution is back though | 21:21 |
| gogzme1 | Can someone tell me how to figure out what speed my network card is running at? | 21:21 |
| lockd | x-man: so I doubt it's Ubuntu specific | 21:21 |
| Pelo | x-man, it still sounds suspicious | 21:21 |
| jgoo | how do I get X configured, or re-auto-detected as it were? | 21:21 |
| jgoo | I see a shadow on the left, and the top of the screen is brighter.... | 21:21 |
| Flare183 | Pelo:> i know but my ccsm is buggy the icons for the buttons are missing | 21:21 |
| jgoo | is this dangerous for the LCD? | 21:22 |
| Pelo | gogzme1, do you know the model ? look it up on line, they are usualy 100 mbps these days | 21:22 |
| jgoo | L192WS | 21:22 |
| sethk | x-man, I think you can have confidence that suse isn't responsible. | 21:22 |
| x-man | sethk: think you're right | 21:22 |
| robert___ | stroyan how do i get it its not showing up in synaptec and im sudo ap-getting it and its nto working | 21:22 |
| jgoo | is there a way to 'auto re-run' x.conf setu? | 21:22 |
| x-man | going to restart since i've already wrote the filesystem.. | 21:22 |
| jgoo | *setup | 21:22 |
| sethk | x-man, not very helpful to say what it _isn't_, I know, if you can't say what it is | 21:22 |
| x-man | don't know if that will help | 21:23 |
| x-man | brb | 21:23 |

| jgoo | I have an ATI 9200 - should I select 'at1' from this list? | 21:24 |
| Pelo | ZeeO, ask in #winehq | 21:24 |
| gogzme1 | Pelo: Right, and I know it is a 100/10 card, and I get nearly 80mbps file transfer speeds between my file server and the same box when loaded into windows, but I am getting far less (and it takes a ton longer to move files) when I am in Gutsy | 21:24 |
| soldats | backslash, cronjobs | 21:24 |
| jgoo | Pelo: ? it gives me a longish list of drivers to choose from, for ATI there seems to be 'at1' | 21:24 |
| backslash | okay?.. | 21:24 |
| Pelo | jgoo, try it , if it doesn't work , do it again and use the vesa driver | 21:24 |
| stroyan | robert___: it is in the universe repository. Look at the "Settings"->"repositories" menu item. | 21:24 |
| Math^ | ompaul: Ive looked on that page, but I already did it that way with vga=xxx, but it still gives me a black screen | 21:24 |

| Math^ | launchpad says its a bug :/ | 21:25 |
| ikonia | Math^: ok, so what does launpad say to fix it | 21:25 |
| ompaul | Math^, and does it offer a solution? | 21:25 |
| ompaul | Math^, show me the bug please | 21:25 |
| Math^ | something i already tried, but doesnt work | 21:25 |
| ikonia | Math^: so if the official developer assigned to it has not got a fix working, how do you expect us | 21:25 |

| Jaszbo | anyway, I turn off my screensaver, and It is a conflict between compiz-fusion and the screen saver. How do I tweak my screen saver so it won't freeze up my machine. | 21:26 |

| Pelo | backslash, minutes , hours .... | 21:26 |
| gogzme1 | What is roaming mode in the network settings? | 21:26 |
| backslash | dom mon dow | 21:26 |
| backslash | and # ? | 21:26 |
| Pelo | backslash, you don't put a # in the lines you write yourself | 21:26 |
| ikonia | Math^: not if it's not in the bug | 21:26 |
| backslash | okay | 21:26 |
| backslash | its just comment right ? | 21:27 |
| jgoo | bloody hell it asks about keyboard layouts and other things... hrm | 21:27 |
| Pelo | backslash, # is to comment out the line, in this case it is uses to give you the basic structures | 21:27 |
| ericl80427 | It doesnt boot with the cd. | 21:27 |

| Krumar | brophat, did you do the manual partitioning? | 21:30 |
| brophat | Krumar no | 21:30 |
| Pelo | white_eagle, try removing your ~/.xchat folder and unintalling all xchat packages, ( use synaptic, completely uninstall) , then restart and sintall again | 21:30 |
| brophat | Krumar in manual partitioning is that where I can run cfdisk? | 21:30 |

| Pelo | backslash, day of week , 1= sunday , 2 = monday , etc | 21:30 |

| brophat | Krumar ok seem like manual is what I want thanks. Hey can I run cfdisk from there? | 21:31 |
| tony_math | Jummy: If you are sure you have the right .deb file and want to install it, use the command "dpkg --install <debfile>.deb" | 21:31 |
| Pelo | white_eagle, I was suggesting a restart to make sure there are no related processes still running but it is not abslutely neccessary | 21:32 |

| backslash | tacone, omg this is great ^^ | 21:38 |

| backslash | %`kde-config --prefix`/bin/dcop --user USERNAME amarok player play | 21:38 |
| marnanel | Mba7eth: there is, apparently. search google for "ubuntu certification". | 21:38 |

| ericl80427 | no im on a difference computer | 21:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sethk: Same here | 21:39 |
| gucci | as i read in forums i must make lilo.conf | 21:39 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, boot the live cd on that comp again | 21:39 |
| rottie_ | crinkelite: what do you mean how? you just move your mouse | 21:39 |
| wols | cdeszaq: that is uses dhcp to get a lease whenevre it has none | 21:39 |
| timandjulz | Tyczek|PC: What I did was install ati drivers from ati's website. Then used the command line: aticonfig --initial | 21:39 |
| sethk | gucci, you need grub OR lilo, not both | 21:39 |
| ericl80427 | ok. | 21:39 |
| timandjulz | But had to install from ati website | 21:39 |
| crinkelite | sorry, without mouse | 21:39 |
| ericl80427 | then what | 21:39 |
| Krumar | gucci, do you need to have both grub and lilo? | 21:39 |
| * marnanel wants to switch to dvorak. I have gone to System > Preferences > Keyboard and selected "U.S. English Dvorak" as the default under the Layout tab, and pressed the Close button. Nothing happened. What should I do now? | 21:39 | |
| gucci | i rebooted but still grub loader starts not lilo | 21:39 |
| Mba7eth | marnanel: Thanks .... I just wanted to know your opinion ..... is it good or I shall go with red hat certificate ! | 21:39 |
| sethk | gucci, run the lilo utility. However, why use lilo? | 21:39 |
| Tyczek|PC | timandjulz, But you did generate package or 1 option? | 21:39 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, you won't see your data in the live cd 's /home folder, your data is in the /home folder of the ubuntu partiton of the hdd, | 21:39 |
| gucci | i want lilo loader | 21:40 |
| marnanel | Mba7eth: I have no idea. I am not a manager and will never be. | 21:40 |
| ericl80427 | yeah. | 21:40 |
| cdeszaq | wols: so that is different than setting the configuration to "Automatic(DHCP)" ? | 21:40 |
| Pelo | !enter | EVERYONE IN THIS CHANNEL | 21:40 |
| ubotu | EVERYONE IN THIS CHANNEL: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:40 |
| Krumar | gucci, i believe that is because grub is installed to the master boot record, so the computer starts it first | 21:40 |
| sethk | gucci, that's a difference between grub and lilo. with grub you just change the configuration file. With lilo you have to run the "lilo" program after changing the configuration file | 21:40 |
| Mba7eth | marnanel: What your not planning to grow up at all ? | 21:40 |
| gucci | lilo is more googlooking | 21:40 |
| timandjulz | Tyczek|PC: I followed the instructions on the ati website. As long as I used the command line app I was able to make it work. There was no package generation required. | 21:40 |
| ericl80427 | but if i only use the home cd, then how can i get to my partitions home foder? | 21:40 |
| marnanel | Mba7eth: There is more to maturity than amassing power. | 21:40 |
| ericl80427 | folder* | 21:40 |
| sethk | gucci, although, to be correct, you have to run "lilo" to install lilo over grub, and you have to run "grubinstall" to install grub over lilo | 21:40 |
| ericl80427 | if i use only home cd to boot.. | 21:40 |
| Tyczek|PC | timandjulz, ok i'll try | 21:41 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, your hdd should get mounte to the desktop | 21:41 |
| sethk | gucci, anyway, if your lilo.conf is in the default location, just run lilo at the command line and it will overwrite the MBR | 21:41 |
| Tyczek|PC | timandjulz, I was installing it by envy but 3d acceleration was crashing and movies too | 21:41 |
| timandjulz | marnanel: Thanks, I will check out xinerama. :-) | 21:41 |
| gucci | howto run lilo | 21:41 |
| gucci | command? | 21:41 |
| Krumar | gucci, open a terminal and type sudo lilo | 21:41 |
| Pelo | gucci, install it from the repos | 21:41 |
| Mba7eth | marnanel: Hey this is a men future ... not just power | 21:42 |
| sethk | gucci, simple, you type lilo (as root, or sudo lilo as normal user | 21:42 |
| gucci | installed bud | 21:42 |
| timandjulz | Tyczek|PC: I'm not a gamer and not playing movies so can't speak to 3d accel working. Good luck though. | 21:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gucci: we all use grub... this is not the place to get lilo help.. | 21:42 |

| Sloppyunderfoot | Thanks | 21:42 |

| Sloppyunderfoot | Just not sure exactly where to tell suse to install ubunto to. | 21:43 |
| ader10 | are there any "fun" commands besides banner, cowsay, apt-get moo and aptitude moo -v? | 21:43 |
| Pelo | Sloppyunderfoot, just intall ubuntu with the live cd, grub will see suse during the install and will make a boot menu with both os on it | 21:43 |
| marnanel | crinkelite: it is possible using screen, if you have a few hours to learn how to use screen | 21:43 |
| Sloppyunderfoot | I don't want to mess up the bootloader. | 21:43 |
| marnanel | ader10: sl is awesome :) | 21:44 |
| Krumar | gucci, i think grub is more popular around here | 21:44 |
| crinkelite | where do i start? | 21:44 |
| gaten | is there anyway to permanently disable join/part messages in xchat? | 21:44 |
| Pelo | Sloppyunderfoot, how many hdd on this comp ? just make an empty partition for ubuntu to isntall on | 21:44 |
| Pelo | gaten, rigth click the channe tab | 21:44 |
| Krumar | crinkelite, you could do "man screen" to start | 21:44 |
| gucci | ok man i will use grub lol wont insist | 21:44 |
| gaten | Pelo: that only works until you close xchat | 21:44 |
| OldPink | What's the best way to implement an "Update and Shutdown" option in Ubuntu? (currently using http://www.topicalmatt.com/14-12-2007/howto-update-and-shutdown-in-ubuntu ) | 21:45 |

| Pelo | gaten, ask in #xchat | 21:45 |
| crinkelite | Kumar: man screen? | 21:45 |
| Brownster | Sloppyunderfoot, if you want to leave the suse bootloader in tact u can install ubuntu and then grub to the install partition NOT the mbr, then manueally edit the grub.conf of suse to chain load the ubuntu set p | 21:45 |
| gucci | more knowlege to wait | 21:45 |
| ader10 | marnanel: haha, sl is funny | 21:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gucci: people here know lots of things, but we are a support room for ubuntu which every version has used grub. | 21:45 |
| ader10 | marnanel: any others? | 21:45 |
| gucci | anyway krumar | 21:45 |
| Krumar | crinkelite, that will give you the manual page to screen, the man pages are a great place to start learning | 21:45 |
| Krumar | gucci, what? | 21:45 |

| Sloppyunderfoot | I have 2 hard drives on the computer right now, one is hdb and the other sda. There's hdb1, hdb2, hdb3, hdb5, hdb6 and hdb7. There's sda1 and sda2. It looks like the hdb5 through 7 contain the Suse os right now. also, hdb2 is /windows/C and /sda1 is /windows/D that I don't use. Can I use the hdb2 for Ubuntu? | 21:47 |
| lockd | Pelo: because I've never plugged it in at boot for ages - another minor quirk | 21:47 |

| Stargazers | Hi. I have problem with ISA-card 3c900B. It loads 3c509x driver on startup. But, network won't work. I do remove 3c509x driver with rmmod and after that install same driver with insmod and do ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0 and network work. What can be wrong, why it doesn't work directly? And ideas? | 21:48 |
| Pelo | lockd, without the error code I can'T do anything for you | 21:48 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, menu > sytem < admin > gnome partition manager | 21:48 |
| lockd | Pelo: well, I asked before with the error code, nobody could help | 21:48 |
| gucci | sudo apt-get autoremove lilo..lol | 21:48 |

| jay | hi im trying to setup a dev environment on 7.10 using php5 apache2 mysql5... I need to get mod rewrite working for drupal... I tried enabling the rewrite module but it doesnt work... Does anyone know what i am missing? | 21:49 |
| lockd | Pelo: no, I switched because of the annoyance, not so with X | 21:49 |
| ericl80427 | pelo, manager or editer.. | 21:49 |
| ericl80427 | ? | 21:49 |
| PriceChild | !doesn't work | jay | 21:49 |
| ubotu | jay: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 21:49 |
| Pelo | jay, you might get more help in ##linux for this | 21:49 |
| ericl80427 | i have editer.. | 21:49 |
| PriceChild | jay, I assume you just haven't enabled the module properly... | 21:49 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, editor, I just made a mistake, | 21:50 |
| PriceChild | jay, could you explain the steps you did to attempt to enable it? | 21:50 |
| soccer_hawk10 | hey all. i just installed 915resolution in ubuntu 7.10 and i've noticed that it freezes at time. i'm running compiz-fusion. any ideas? | 21:50 |
| cyphase | Does anyone have any recommendations for a good, Linux-compatible audio player priced at around $100-$150? | 21:50 |
| jay | PriceChild, I checked apache2ctl -M ti see if it works | 21:50 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, that will detect your hdds, you can see if they are still usable and ifyou stil have partitions on them, if they are not mounted those partiton should get mounted to the desktop | 21:50 |
| ericl80427 | ok im in that now what exactly do i do | 21:50 |
| PriceChild | jay, pardon? | 21:50 |
| ericl80427 | ok | 21:50 |
| Felin | Ah, if anyone has time, I'm having a bit of trouble getting my Linksys USB Wireless adapter to work, as a warning I'm still completely new at this sort of thing. | 21:51 |
| Sloppyunderfoot | Awesome, thanks much. I thought it might but wanted to check "live". | 21:51 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, if they don'T get mounted automaticaly you now have the /dev/... info to mount them manualy | 21:51 |
| KinPumpkinKing | cyphase, how come xmms isn't good for you? :p | 21:51 |
| PriceChild | Pelo, btw most will usually say come back here as apache is customised in packaging heavily | 21:51 |
| ompaul | KinPumpkinKing, no longer developed | 21:51 |
| Stargazers | Anyone? Any ideas? | 21:51 |
| Pelo | PriceChild, noted | 21:51 |
| KinPumpkinKing | ometra, what would you recommend? I only use xmms... | 21:51 |
| soccer_hawk10 | hey. does 915resolution not play nicely with compiz-fusion? can 915resolution be used with the intel drivers | 21:51 |
| KinPumpkinKing | ometra, sorry | 21:51 |
| cyphase | KinPumpkinKing: because xmms isn't portable | 21:51 |
| Brownster | Felin, how far have you got | 21:52 |
| Creed | hijay, I was wondering what the best or most widely used FTP server for *nix is? | 21:52 |
| cyphase | ompaul: actually, a new version was just released a while ago | 21:52 |
| KinPumpkinKing | ompaul, what would you recommend, I only use xmms?... | 21:52 |
| Creed | err sorry hijay, stupid autocomplete | 21:52 |
| ericl80427 | they are usable i would imagine, there is things on them.. | 21:52 |
| jay | PriceChild, To enable it I went into webmin > apche > global config > modules -- and then enabled the rewrite module | 21:52 |
| Creed | Hi I was wondering what the best or most widely used FTP server for *nix is? | 21:52 |
| lockd | cyphase: xmms is portable in one sense | 21:52 |
| Felin | xD Nowhere, to be honest. I'm ashamed, but I couldn't get online, so I jumped bacl over to XP. I just finished setting up a dual-boot. | 21:52 |
| PriceChild | Creed, use sftp | 21:52 |
| learninglinux | does anyone have experience with iptables/netfilter modules, esp with shorewall? i'm having a difficult time getting shorewall to recognize my netfilter modules | 21:52 |
| soccer_hawk10 | hey. does 915resolution not play nicely with compiz-fusion? can 915resolution be used with the intel drivers | 21:52 |
| cyphase | lockd: how is that? | 21:52 |
| ericl80427 | it would be so much easier if i could find away to log onto my account | 21:52 |
| PriceChild | jay, I've never used webmin... so how abouts we try the old fashioned way? :P | 21:52 |
| Pelo | soccer_hawk10, ask in #compiz-surion | 21:52 |
| ompaul | KinPumpkinKing, I use the default - rhythmbox - and it works well | 21:52 |
| lockd | cyphase: portable as in it can be ported to other OSes | 21:53 |
| lockd | cyphase: not portable as in a portable device | 21:53 |
| cyphase | lockd: right | 21:53 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, do you have the ubuntu partition mo0unted on your hdd ? | 21:53 |
| Neodudeman | how do i stop a terminal command if I run it from a launcher, and there's no terminal to Ctrl-C into? | 21:53 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, I mean your desktop ? | 21:53 |
| Creed | PriceChild, I want to use ftp, this is for a hosting service...I don't exactly want to give out a shell (jailed or not) account to anyone wanting to FTP to their sites. | 21:53 |
| cyphase | lockd: you know what i mean :) | 21:53 |
| brobostigo1 | xmms is potable, it can be recompiled to work on any unix. | 21:53 |
| Brownster | Felin, hey no worries, first off whats the model | 21:53 |
| brobostigo1 | portable | 21:53 |
| KinPumpkinKing | ometra, hmm.. I don't like it, though, but I guess that's my problem | 21:53 |
| ericl80427 | um, i dont think so im kindof new to Ubuntu | 21:53 |
| jay | PriceChild, please advise on what to do the old fashioned way | 21:53 |
| Felin | WUSB54GC, i believe it uses a Ralink chipset. | 21:53 |
| PriceChild | jay, sudo a2enmod rewrite, then restart the apache service, and ensure your apache conf is allowing rewrite on whatever roots. | 21:53 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, no folder on the desktop with disk 1 or disk 2 as the label ? | 21:54 |
| ericl80427 | yes | 21:54 |
| ericl80427 | i see that now | 21:54 |
| PriceChild | Creed, an sftp account does not always imply an ssh account does it? | 21:54 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, check in those look for /home , and in site that your own home folder, you can back up your data from there and clean install ubuntu | 21:54 |
| jay | PriceChild, sudo a2enmod rewrite = This module is already enabled! and ive restarted the server already | 21:54 |
| proximox | anyone got a link to a page listing all the ubuntu derivative distros ? | 21:54 |
| soccer_hawk10 | pelo, did you mean compiz-fusion? | 21:54 |
| Creed | PriceChild, I still prefer to use FTP...why secure it when its internal only? | 21:54 |
| Brownster | Felin, u in xp at the mo right? are u using encryption on your access point and if so wep or wpa? | 21:54 |
| Neodudeman | how do i stop a terminal process if I start it in a launcher, without a terminal? | 21:54 |
| PriceChild | Creed, on your head be it ;) | 21:55 |
| Felin | No encryption, and yes, I'm in XP right now. | 21:55 |
| ericl80427 | so i found home, and in there is my account name | 21:55 |
| Pelo | soccer_hawk10, #compiz-fusion yeah, sorry if I did a typo | 21:55 |
| PriceChild | jay, ok well that's good then. | 21:55 |
| Creed | PriceChild, if I ask for an apple, I would like an apple, not be referred to instead accept a pear. | 21:55 |
| badkitty | if I want to set up a web server is it better to set it up on my dekstop machine or on a virtualbox? | 21:55 |
| PriceChild | jay, why do you say it isn't working... that's what drupal is reporting? | 21:55 |
| PriceChild | Creed, if you ask how to enable the root account, i'm going to talk to you about sudo instead. | 21:55 |
| soccer_hawk10 | pelo, they've been unhelpful so far. they're ignoring my question. i assume that means that they don't know the anser | 21:55 |
| soccer_hawk10 | answer* | 21:55 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, that is your own personnal /home folder , with all your data and settings in it, back that up and you can reinstall and get evveryting back that you had, exectp the apps themselves | 21:55 |
| ericl80427 | how do i back up my information? | 21:55 |
| ericl80427 | ok | 21:55 |
| jay | PriceChild, In drupal to enable clean urls using mod rewrite there is a clean url test. The clean url test wont work. | 21:55 |
| PriceChild | Creed, I don't want to give bad advice... and helping running an unsecure server is bad advice. | 21:55 |
| ericl80427 | yes | 21:55 |
| ericl80427 | but how do i back that up? | 21:56 |
| Pelo | soccer_hawk10, not every channel is as well attended as this one, you need to be patient or ask better questions | 21:56 |
| lockd | hence why ftp is hard with an F to set up | 21:56 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: It seems that xrandr does a better job than 915resolution on 7.10 | 21:56 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, doyou have an extra hdd you could use ? or a usb flash drive ? or a second cd/dvd burner on that comp ? | 21:56 |
| ericl80427 | flash drive i can use | 21:56 |
| soccer_hawk10 | stroyan, will it help me fix my screen resolution troubles? so far the only way i can get the resolution i want is by using it | 21:56 |
| bab | I can get grub messages passed to the serial and kernel messages passed to the serial port but for some reason I can not get terminal messages passed to the serial port, I cant even get getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100 to work !!! | 21:57 |
| Creed | PriceChild, I simply asked what the best FTP server was, a lot of companies use FTP and I want to use FTP, not SFTP. SFTP I'll use if I access the server from the outside world but its a classroom server behind several firewalls and no access to the web whatsoever. I'm not worried about students sniffing the network and getting passwords and such. | 21:57 |
| soccer_hawk10 | stroyan, i've never even heard of xrandr before | 21:57 |
| PriceChild | jay, Could you pastebin your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf please? | 21:57 |
| Brownster | Felin, just checking how well its supported or not... | 21:57 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, then copy the whole /home/username folder to your usb flash drive, then , clean install ubuntu , and copy the content back to your /home/user folder | 21:57 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: It is very good with intel screen resolution. Keith Packard, who works for intel has put much work into xrandr. | 21:57 |
| dn4 | is there a way to get a .pdf file read to you? | 21:57 |
| badkitty | if I want to set up a web server is it better to set it up on my dekstop machine or on a virtualbox? | 21:57 |
| Felin | No rush, any help is appreciated. This channel seems rather chaotic. | 21:57 |
| soccer_hawk10 | stroyan, do you have a link to a tutorial? | 21:58 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, it is also a good idea to make your /home folder on a seperate partition, that way you can reiinstal the os and not worry about your data | 21:58 |
| ericl80427 | clean install as in double click the install icon? | 21:58 |
| bab | so can some one help me get the serial console working? | 21:58 |
| ericl80427 | I could keep it on the flash drive no? | 21:58 |
| jay | PriceChild, Oddly its empty | 21:58 |
| soccer_hawk10 | stroyan, will it work with compiz? | 21:58 |
| Pelo | Felin, just ask your quewstion periodicaly and hope for an answer | 21:58 |
| MrObvious | Pelo: Nope. | 21:58 |
| PriceChild | jay, try putting what i just pm'd you into it and save it. | 21:59 |
| PriceChild | jay, then restart the server | 21:59 |
| Felin | xD I figured, but I was planning on waiting for a bit before asking again, and hopefully suring a lull. | 21:59 |
| MrObvious | Pelo: I couldn't get it to boot in qEMU successfully. | 21:59 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, then you would need to have your flash drive plugged in everytime you boot that comp | 21:59 |
| ericl80427 | for some reason its not not opening the drive.. | 21:59 |
| bab | I can get grub messages passed to the serial and kernel messages passed to the serial port but for some reason I can not get terminal messages passed to the serial port, I cant even get getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100 to work !!! | 21:59 |
| lockd | Felin: during a lull is bad, though | 21:59 |
| eromero | is there a way to rename the network interfaces (i want to swap eth0 and eth1) | 21:59 |
| ericl80427 | or maye ill just wait a little bit longer | 21:59 |
| bab | ericl80427, what drive are you trying to open | 21:59 |
| Pelo | MrObvious, maybe you can find help on this in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org | 21:59 |
| Felin | Really? I imagine it would be better to give people time to rest. | 21:59 |
| ericl80427 | my flas drive | 21:59 |
| ericl80427 | flash | 21:59 |
| bab | ericl80427, and it is mounted? | 22:00 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: I don't have a simple tutorial pointer right off the top of my head. It does work with compiz. It is mentioned at http://intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html. But that is for dual displays. | 22:00 |
| bab | ericl80427, mount | 22:00 |
| lockd | does anyone know how to stop fullscreen apps using, say, Allegro from seizing all the keyboard? | 22:00 |
| ericl80427 | you mean in the computer..? | 22:00 |
| MrObvious | Pelo: I've been searching there too. | 22:00 |
| Pelo | Felin, you'll wait forever, there is no rest for the wicked | 22:00 |
| MrObvious | Pelo: I'll figure it out. | 22:00 |
| Pelo | MrObvious, that 's pretty much all I have | 22:00 |
| lockd | I would like to be able to press a keyboard shortcut and minimize it using, say, Windowmaker | 22:00 |
| ericl80427 | i had used it before ad it worked, but that was before i had problems booting | 22:00 |
| bab | FloodBot1, hello | 22:00 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: Basically, run xrandr to see a list of supported resolutions. Then run it again to set a resolution. The setting is retained on X server restart. | 22:01 |
| white_eagle | how to install KDE instead of GNOME | 22:01 |
| Felin | Aaaah, you guys must really like helping people, though. But it's a bit of a better reception than most other distros I've seen. A lot of elitism. | 22:01 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, just plug it your usb flash drive now, wait until it is mounted and then copy your /home fodler to it | 22:01 |
| bab | I cant get the serial port working for ttys0 after boot but I got it working for grub and kernel messages, can somewone help me get it working, I have been working on this all day | 22:02 |
| ericl80427 | ok | 22:02 |
| Brownster | Felin, looks like your card does work, when u boot into ubuntu, go to the network manager tool, does it list a wireless device? u can also check from a terminal with the command 'iwlist' does it return the name of a device with wireless extensions | 22:02 |
| ericl80427 | its been in there for like 5 minutes not doing anything | 22:02 |

| Jack_Sparrow | white_eagle: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 22:02 |

| Felin | Ok, before I go to reboot, I have one more question, an odd one. Someone I know mentioned the ability to switch between OSs with the Page Up and Page Down keys. How would one manage this? | 22:03 |
| admin_ | I just bought an SD card to play around with, I gotit mounted to my ubuntu laptop, changed the fs to FAT32 as I needed. Then after dissconnecting, using it, ubuntu will no longer mount it, if I try to mount it using the mount command it says bad superblock (the card still works, camera still stores photos and such on it) | 22:03 |
| PriceChild | jay, could you pastebin /etc/apache2/apache2.conf too please? | 22:03 |
| Brownster | Felin, also look at the output of and make a note 'lshw -C network' | 22:03 |

| Brownster | Felin, not from a normal install, possibly from within a virtual machine | 22:04 |
| timandjulz | Altrag: You can mount the partition with Windows on it and copy your files off. | 22:04 |
| soccer_hawk10 | okay, i'll try it. do i need to apt-get remove 915resolution first? | 22:04 |
| ericl80427 | you know what, Pelo can i just reinstall it using the same partition? | 22:04 |
| ericl80427 | it tust seems a whole not easier and less of a burden | 22:04 |
| Pelo | Altrag, just mount your windows partition to your deslktop and then you can use nautilus to copy your files, and gnomebaker to burn them | 22:04 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: I don't see any reason you would want to apt-get remove 915resolution. Just don't run it. | 22:05 |
| Altrag | Right, and how do I mount it? | 22:05 |

| soccer_hawk10 | that's what it seems to do to me... i ran 915resolution and then configured it to 1152x864 resolution and now it does it automatically | 22:05 |

| timandjulz | Altrag: give me a sec. I am new to the desktop. Can tell you how to do it from a terminal though. :-) | 22:05 |
| caoilte | quit | 22:05 |
| ericl80427 | thats all that i really put on it | 22:06 |
| comicinker | I want to install a newer package from a different source. how can I do it? | 22:06 |
| Felin | Ok, thank you. I'm going to go reboot and try those things. If it works Iwill return truimphant. If not, I come to ask for aid again. | 22:06 |
| soccer_hawk10 | it also no longer lets me use the "intel" drivers. i have to use i810, which i've heard doesn't play well with compiz | 22:06 |
| Brownster | Felin, good luck | 22:06 |
| soccer_hawk10 | since installing 91resolution, i've frozen three times | 22:06 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, then by all means, jsut clean install and no worries, I thought you had stuff you wanted to save | 22:06 |
| mangojambo | Hi there ... I look in forums and dont found nothing similar ... my sound card (ATI-SB450) on gutsy start working well.. but after a time, the sound became noise for a while and stop to work!!! | 22:06 |
| Altrag | I have the whole night! :) | 22:06 |
| ericl80427 | well i know how to save it, i appreciate the help, but its not mounting the flash drive | 22:06 |
| soccer_hawk10 | prior to it, i let it run for a month nonstop no problems | 22:06 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: 915resolution doesn't do anything if you don't configure and initscript to run it. | 22:06 |
| TheZealot | Anyone know if there is a way to get an old copy of nslookup? One perhaps that still allows zone transfers ie. the "ls" command? | 22:06 |
| ericl80427 | well, i didnt want to have to reinstall applications because im lazy :) but its not important data that i need really. | 22:07 |
| soccer_hawk10 | okay, well if that's the case then how is it that it automatically sets my screen resolution to 1152x864? i'm not trying to be a jerk, i just don't know how it doesit | 22:07 |
| ericl80427 | but i can use that same partition right? | 22:07 |
| timandjulz | Altrag: Under the "places" menu, choose "Computer". See if your windows volume is visible as "HDA1" or "SDA1". | 22:07 |
| Slart | TheZealot: doesn't dig or host handle that? | 22:07 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, you can just reinstll the apps from the command line if you remember what they were , you can do it with one line sudo apt-get install packagename1 packagename2 packagename3 etc | 22:07 |
| Keegan7390 | I have a question, everytime i try to partition my hard drive on my laptop (inspiron 8000), it doesnt work, it just wont let me?? any ideas?? | 22:07 |
| Liquidfire- | woah :D | 22:07 |
| Pelo | ericl80427, yes you can use the same partition | 22:07 |
| Altrag | it is | 22:07 |
| Liquidfire- | I love dream theater !!! | 22:08 |
| Liquidfire- | o/ | 22:08 |
| timandjulz | Altrag: In my case, my windows partition was auto mounted. I expect the same for you. | 22:08 |
| TheZealot | Slart, yes, but I am familiar with nslookup, and it looks like BIND decided to remove the zone transfer option because nslookup is deprecated | 22:08 |
| lockd | does anyone at all know of etswitch, and if there is a modern working version? | 22:08 |
| timandjulz | Altrag: Open that folder and you should see your files. | 22:08 |
| Liquidfire- | first time i'm listening to them on my ubuntu box p/ | 22:08 |
| timandjulz | Altrag: Then use what the other person suggested for burning cds. Cause I haven't done that yet. | 22:08 |
| Pelo | later folks | 22:08 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: The 'apt-cache show 915resolution' points to /usr/share/doc/915resolution/README.Debian for how the initscript is set up. | 22:09 |

| Altrag | ok, thank you! | 22:10 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: You could put /etc/default/915resolution back to a default state. Or you could just apt-get remove it.... | 22:10 |
| Slart | TheZealot: I guess you've seen this .. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/nslookup-ls-option-not-implemented-605679/ | 22:11 |
| Slart | kst: what are you trying to open it with? | 22:11 |
| soccer_hawk10 | i just apt-get removed it... now it's rebooting | 22:12 |
| PriceChild | jay, hmm that says that apache *is* reading your customizations from httpd.conf... maybe you need to tell it to enable it in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default perhaps... | 22:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kst-: you cant just stick text into the middle of a pdf... and get the pdf to open or print | 22:12 |
| soccer_hawk10 | alrighty, now i can just apt-get install xrandr and then run it? | 22:13 |
| kst- | Jack_Sparrow not sure what you mean.. | 22:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kst-: pdf is not just a text file... | 22:13 |
| ericl80427 | hmm | 22:13 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: yes | 22:13 |
| kst- | Jack_Sparrow i opened the pdf, inserted my text, Print -> output as file | 22:13 |
| kst- | but the created .ps file wont open :( | 22:13 |

| soccer_hawk10 | how do i use it? | 22:14 |
| dan__ | #it05.kth | 22:14 |
| jay | PriceChild, im not familiar with how to do that... could you please explain | 22:14 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: xrandr without arguments will list available resolutions. | 22:14 |
| ericl80427 | when i use an old partition as my partition, it says: "No root file system is defined. Please orrect this from the partitioning menu. | 22:14 |
| Slart | kst-: have you tried installing ghostscript and opening it with that? | 22:14 |
| PriceChild | jay, in the same way as the httpd... but I don't know whether its needed :/ | 22:15 |
| kst- | Slart will try although I think I should already have that one? | 22:15 |
| soccer_hawk10 | stroyan, how can i just test to see if it'll use a resolution that i want? | 22:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kst-: ok.. I got you confused with another person.. my bad... | 22:15 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: xrandr -fb <width>x<height> will set resolution. | 22:15 |
| jay | PriceChild, here is the source of that file http://pastebin.ca/819340 | 22:15 |
| soccer_hawk10 | stroyan, thanks, i'll give it a shot | 22:15 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: "man xrandr" will tell all. :-) | 22:15 |
| kst- | i will just print it at uni when i got a printer available.. but this sucks :( | 22:16 |
| negonicrac | slart:sorry I will try that | 22:16 |
| TheZealot | Slart: thanks for the advice. I figured how to do it with dig. | 22:16 |
| Slart | negonicrac: huh?.. | 22:16 |
| PriceChild | jay, still, not completely positive, but maybe "RewriteEngine On" inside the second <Directory> | 22:16 |
| negonicrac | nothing | 22:16 |
| soccer_hawk10 | xrandr -fb 1152x864 isn't doing anything | 22:16 |

| kst- | :( | 22:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 22:17 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: You should not need to restart X. Does xrandr report that resolution as available? | 22:17 |
| soccer_hawk10 | when i try to use that command it just lists the -help stuff | 22:18 |
| soccer_hawk10 | doesn't do anything other than that as far as i can tell | 22:18 |
| ericl80427 | I cant partition. | 22:18 |
| crinkelite | Krumar: That screens stuff looks a little complicated, all i want to do is to move the terminal cursor around the terminal output.

| PriceChild | jay, see kkathman above (thanks) | 22:21 |
| crinkelite | i want to caret browse the terminal output exp. ls output | 22:21 |

| soccer_hawk10 | stroyan: it's using i810 and i cannot change it to intel for some reason | 22:22 |
| kst- | Slart thanks, trying that one as well now.. where does it put the file it prints? :D | 22:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ericl80427: NOT the live cd... the gparted livecd | 22:22 |

| Krumar | crinkelite, i still don't quite understand, you want to do the ls command, then do something with it | 22:22 |

| Aleph | I recently installed a new processor and flashed my BIOS. Ubuntu Feisty's X would no longer start, saying a display could not be found. I've since found out that the BUSID changed for the video card due to the BIOS flash.

| Slart | crinkelite: why not try ls | editor | 22:23 |
| stroyan | soccer_hawk10: Do you have the xserver-xorg-video-intel package installed? | 22:23 |
| AcidBurn | So you all pretty much hate Bill Gates, no? | 22:23 |
| sethk | std, I've seen that happen during a boot over tftp because the name of the kernel supplied in the request doesn't match the name on the server. As an example, the client might request vmlinuz-2.6.23 when the server's name for the file is /rootfs/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23. | 22:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ericl80427: yes it is a different cd... fut a small download.. not 700meg... more like 60 | 22:23 |

| soccer_hawk10 | well, it's simply fantastic news. i don't know that i could repeat that if i wanted to, but i hope i won't have to. it works now and that's all i care about :-D thanks a lot! | 22:30 |
| soccer_hawk10 | adios | 22:30 |

| crimsun | the flash issue? | 22:31 |
| crimsun | meaning the ia32libs+pcre3 one? | 22:31 |
| minerale | can someone explain why ubuntu mounts the vmware cd like this: http://tinyurl.com/25o824 | 22:31 |
| Brownster | Felin, sorry, your access point is configured to use a name to identify it this is the essid, do you know what this is or was it set when you got the access point? | 22:31 |
| minerale | it works normally when mounted in other os's | 22:31 |
| jared | crimsun, meaning the it doens't install because of some md5 mismatch or something like that | 22:31 |
| jay | PriceChild, yea its enable but it doesnt work ie. if i try to go to /admin/clean-urls the link wont work but with the ?q= infront of it the page works... meaning the mod rewrite version of the page doesnt work | 22:32 |

| PriceChild | jay, re-upload the .htaccess that comes with it | 22:32 |
| Felin | The AP is just a wireless router, actually. It usually shows as Channel 11 with the name of Default. | 22:32 |
| PriceChild | jay, (comes with drupal) | 22:32 |
| crimsun | jared: I'm referring to an issue that affects amd64 users of 9,0,115,0 on hardy. | 22:32 |
| jay | PriceChild, i just tried reuploading it a couple times... but no difference | 22:33 |
| PriceChild | jay, Then I blame drupal if php's reporting mod_rewrite fine. | 22:33 |
| jared | crimsun, oh, well I'm wondeirng about the md5 issue... since I can't install it, and gnash doesn't work too well for me. | 22:33 |

| PriceChild | !highno | poOrBOon | 22:44 |
| Felin | SSID is WLAN | 22:44 |
| ubotu | poOrBOon: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine.

| Brownster | Felin, then if what I said did not work, in terminal look at the output of 'iwconfig wlan0' it will show you the wireless settings so essid should be now set to 'WLAN' if it worked, if not try at the prompt 'sudo iwconfig wan0 essid WLAN' but check that command 'man iwconfig' | 22:52 |

| ikonia | poOrBOon: it's already installed by default | 22:56 |
| PriceChild | WorkingOnWise, no. Consider backporting perhaps... but you should really know what you're doing "/msg ubotu prevu" | 22:56 |
| scguy318 | suttles95: must be something with your fstab if it says that | 22:56 |
| ikonia | poOrBOon: use system --> administation --> advanced desktop effects | 22:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | theZoMBiE: are you sure you gave your keyboard the proper assignment(ie, US) | 22:56 |
| steer | Any reason anyone can think of why a root password would just stop working? | 22:56 |
| poOrBOon | Yes, but compiz does not work when you install the drivers from ati that pops in tray | 22:56 |
| ikonia | poOrBOon: thats a different matter | 22:57 |
| suttles95 | perfect...thanks, guys! | 22:57 |
| ikonia | poOrBOon: but be aware that xgl/compiz is already installed | 22:57 |
| poOrBOon | but games shall work better I think, because it is from ati | 22:57 |
| ikonia | steer: the root password is not set | 22:57 |
| ikonia | poOrBOon: have you used the restricted drivers manager ? | 22:57 |
| theZoMBiE | IndyGunFreak: as in which type of layerÉ | 22:57 |
| poOrBOon | yes | 22:57 |

| poOrBOon | howto install runit? | 23:09 |
| lame_user | no, fresh gutsy instal | 23:09 |
| asathoor | i have problems with a hp 8510p and ati video drivers | 23:09 |
| scguy318 | lame_user: if I'm not mistaken, Gutsy should have all repos enabled by default, but go to System -> Admin -> Software Sources and check all repos | 23:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | !ati | asathoor | 23:10 |
| ubotu | asathoor: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:10 |

| Jack_Sparrow | lame_user: you said fresh install.. but you also said you dl'd envy.... so which is it.. fresh install or did you try envy | 23:13 |
| nostahl | ubuntu is debian based right | 23:13 |
| scguy318 | nostahl: it uses APT, yes | 23:13 |
| scguy318 | nostahl: and yes | 23:13 |
| nostahl | awesome | 23:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | nostahl: yes it is. | 23:13 |

| scguy318 | lame_user: um, is multiverse enabled? | 23:14 |
| scguy318 | !wine | JasonBourne | 23:14 |
| ubotu | JasonBourne: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 23:14 |
| asathoor | nostahl >> sudo apt-get something | 23:14 |
| lame_user | tried ENVY but I get this error message: | 23:14 |
| lame_user | Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: xserver-xorg-dev | 23:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | asathoor: actually, it would be sudo apt-get install something | 23:14 |
| suttles95 | Can anyone give any advice on uploading documents in my cd-rom onto my computer? | 23:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | :) | 23:14 |
| Slart | JasonBourne: Starcraft is a windows-game afaik.. you could check out if it works with wine at the wine application database.. appdb.winehq.org | 23:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lame_user: So it is NOT a clean install of gutsy if you ran ENVY | 23:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | lame_user: quit messing with Envy, or you're gonna hose a pefectly good install. | 23:14 |
| asathoor | indy >> yep -- that slipped, sorry | 23:14 |
| scguy318 | suttles95: just go to places -> CD ROM then copy | 23:14 |
| ikonia | lame_user: don't use envy | 23:14 |

| Jack_Sparrow | lame_user: It would be in your best interest to do a fresh install then come back for help with the drivers | 23:15 |
| poOrBOon | howto install runit and Grub2? cuz runit and grub2 change the system very much | 23:15 |
| ikonia | scguy318: why show him that | 23:15 |
| ikonia | poOrBOon: don't use grub2 | 23:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: lol... i agree but i'm sure that will happen | 23:15 |
| scguy318 | ikonia: his sources seem to be fried, but mm | 23:15 |
| JasonBourne | is WINE legal i mean wouldnt microsoft try to cut that off? | 23:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | just fixing the sources will not undo envy | 23:15 |
| lame_user | i checked all the repos, and make apt get, but didnt solve anything | 23:16 |
| scguy318 | JasonBourne: no, because Wine has 0% Microsoft code | 23:16 |
| casdio | !sound | 23:16 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| nostahl | what options are there for making ubuntu run fast for say a old dell inspiron 1000 | 23:16 |
| Slart | JasonBourne: yes, it's legal.. you can find more wine help in #winehq | 23:16 |
| JasonBourne | then how does it run all MS's programs | 23:16 |
| nostahl | laptop | 23:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | lame_user: well, you've already installed and ran Envy, thats probably the start of your problems | 23:16 |
| JasonBourne | k | 23:16 |
| scguy318 | JasonBourne: by reverse-engineering the WIndows API | 23:16 |
| scguy318 | JasonBourne: via cleanroom | 23:16 |
| suttles95 | slart: I'm trying to upload documents from a CD-ROM onto my computer... | 23:16 |
| poOrBOon | ikonia why? | 23:16 |

| ikonia | poOrBOon: grub2 is not stable | 23:17 |
| lame_user | IndyGunFreak: just tried to run envy, didnt make it run either, so, I DIDNT run envy | 23:17 |
| poOrBOon | oh | 23:17 |

| IndyGunFreak | lame_user: well, you apparently know everything, so good luck. | 23:17 |
| scguy318 | slart: just like copy and paste the way you would do in Windows | 23:17 |
| ikonia | wifi: that seems a little bit overkill due to it being a non-native file system | 23:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lame_user: You RAN envy.. end of story.. just because it didnt work, does not mean it didnt damage your system | 23:17 |
| scguy318 | suttles95: just like copy and paste the way you would do in Windows | 23:17 |
| scguy318 | slart: sorry, wrong addressee | 23:18 |
| Slart | scguy318: =) | 23:18 |
| wols | Jack_Sparrow: especially since it didn't it probably damaged it :) | 23:18 |
| Slart | suttles95: can you see the files on the CD in the file explorer in gnome? | 23:18 |
| lame_user | IndyGunFreak: look, i dont know everything, trying to get some help here, looked like you dodnt get me, cos i twice said that i didnt run envy | 23:18 |

| JasonBourne | yah im just cruious abot wine | 23:19 |
| ikonia | wifi: vsftpd can be configured to use it's physical home dir or a listing in the vsftpd.conf file | 23:19 |
| ikonia | poOrBOon: I don't think so, I think they are personally weak, but thats only a personal opinion | 23:19 |

| abowen | Will I lose my current settings if I upgrade via update manager? | 23:19 |

| skelter | hey all - trying to install ubuntu onto a raid system, following the directions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto that ubotu gave me, but when i run "dmraid -ay", it tells me "ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel". anyone know what i should do? | 23:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | abowen: If you have concerns.. make a backup | 23:22 |
| wols | abowen: yes. at least that's how it'S supposed to be | 23:23 |
| ikonia | lame_user: personal opinion, re-install and lets fix you the correct way | 23:23 |
| wols | abowen: but if you e.g. installed the nvidia drivers with envy or directly from nvidia.com it won't stay and break | 23:23 |
| scguy318 | tigionabbit: um...not sure then, I was under the impression that gdm started X | 23:23 |
| alienseer23 | anybody know of a good utility to view a db file? | 23:24 |
| ikonia | alienseer23: what type of db file / | 23:24 |
| tiglionabbit | ugh | 23:24 |
| tiglionabbit | what is this script that tries to start x every 2 minutes | 23:24 |
| ikonia | tiglionabbit: init | 23:24 |
| abowen | wols: ahh, not I snagged it from synaptic, then cofigured later. My ether line is fried and if I update I don't want to loose my wireless, cause I'd have no way to access the internet. | 23:24 |
| tiglionabbit | when I already have a working x session | 23:24 |
| alienseer23 | it's in my amarok folder, i think sqlite, it sais version 80 when i tried dbview | 23:24 |
| tiglionabbit | ikonia: can I kill it? | 23:25 |
| ikonia | tiglionabbit: apologies, what your asking is not init. | 23:25 |
| mathieu | salut | 23:25 |
| ikonia | tiglionabbit: what makes you think something is starting X every few minutes | 23:25 |
| Slart | alienseer23: I think there are sqlite db viewers available.. have you searched the repos? | 23:25 |
| ikonia | alienseer23: import it | 23:25 |
| alienseer23 | import it how and with what? | 23:25 |
| ikonia | alienseer23: with sqllite | 23:25 |
| ikonia | alienseer23: the sqlite package has ways to query it | 23:26 |
| tiglionabbit | ikonia: because it starts x, crashes, starts again, etc. after 6 tries it gives up and says it has failed 6 times in 90 seconds and will try again in 2 minutes, with the option "OK". How do I make it stop trying? | 23:26 |
| wols | abowen: make ~3gb room on your harrdisk and install an interim gutsy there | 23:26 |
| alienseer23 | k | 23:26 |
| ikonia | tiglionabbit: then you don't have a working X sesion | 23:26 |
| ikonia | tiglionabbit: that is init | 23:26 |
| wols | tiglionabbit: /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 23:26 |
| tiglionabbit | ikonia: I do have a working x session which I started with startx, but it tries to start one on :1 that screws up the session I have | 23:26 |
| wols | ikonia: init starts X, really? | 23:26 |
| abowen | wols: Sorry that's greek to me, I'm new. Could you point me in the direction of getting that done? | 23:26 |
| ikonia | wols: yes | 23:26 |
| tiglionabbit | after I hit okay on that thing, it goes back to my working session for 2 minutes, then screws it up again with its own session | 23:26 |
| ikonia | tiglionabbit: are you working on a server install ? | 23:27 |
| nikin | hy. what package i have to reconfigure to enable default use of bitmap fonts in X? | 23:27 |

| ikonia | white_eagle: there are many | 23:28 |

| tiglionabbit | ikonia: I haven't. It starts a screwy X session by default which just crashes over and over. I changed my xorg.conf and ran 'startx' to get a working session, but the screwy session keeps coming up anyway every 2 minutes | 23:28 |

| white_eagle | ikonia: just interested in | 23:28 |
| ikonia | tiglionabbit: once you reboot it will use your fixed xorg session | 23:28 |
| ikonia | tiglionabbit: that problem will go away | 23:28 |
| tiglionabbit | ikonia: this is a LIVE SESSION | 23:28 |
| ikonia | tiglionabbit: oh, I see | 23:28 |
| ikonia | tiglionabbit: /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 23:28 |
| tiglionabbit | I guess I just have to watch it crash a billion times | 23:29 |
| ikonia | tiglionabbit: , no you don't | 23:29 |
| tiglionabbit | I already did that ikonia, didn't make it stop | 23:29 |
| teknoprep | hmm i fixed that up quickly | 23:29 |
| tiglionabbit | see, it's installing ubuntu on the working session | 23:29 |

| skelter | slart, i went to that page, and when i got to the "dmraid -ay" bit, it tells me that raid45 isn't in the kernel : | 23:37 |
| bubble | FYI is you bought rar for windows, the key works for linux and portable winrar as well | 23:37 |
| gumpish | =/ sooo the default set of compiz effects in gutsy are markedly less than what's included in ye olde beryl / merald? | 23:37 |
| nikin | x_ then read the manpages of the programs for more information | 23:37 |

| mame | I was wondering where I should / could solicit support for the creation of a new "front-end" for emulators such as MAME or FCEU ? I am not much of a programmer these days and I am more into the design aspect of things. Can anyone give me some ideas of where I should start with this type of thing? | 23:38 |
| amitprakash | hi.. i copied my / partition to /dev/sda5.. an extended partition. then i edited grub to point to (hd0,5)... however linux doesnt boot failing while the loading progress bar and is unable to acees some driver using dickbuUUID.. anyone knows a fix? | 23:39 |

| rdavila | hi friends | 23:40 |
| rdavila | one question: Anyone know if it is possible to make Sender-based Routing with ssmtp? | 23:40 |
| Dr_willis | mame, thers dozens of front ends to those things. in different languages and so forth. | 23:41 |
| al1 | I've got a laptop with an IP 192.168.1.200 which is linked to an access point, linked to switch, linked to another switch, linked to a pc whose ip is 192.168.1.64. | 23:41 |
| al1 | When I try to ping my laptop from my pc it doesn"t work. | 23:41 |
| al1 | When I ping my pc from my laptop, it works. And then I can ping my laptop from my pc. | 23:41 |
| al1 | Question : what could I do for having my pc to find directly my laptop ? | 23:41 |
| amitprakash | al1: check for a firewall? | 23:41 |
| astro76 | mame, well there's already several existing open-source frontends, such as gxmame. Any reason you need to start one from scratch? | 23:41 |
| sethk | amitprakash, we told you how to fix that earlier. | 23:41 |
| amitprakash | sethk, yeah | 23:41 |
| amitprakash | i changed the UUIDs | 23:41 |
| amitprakash | but it didnt work | 23:41 |
| amitprakash | sethk: well ubuntu in safe mode says, check root=cat proc/cmdline or missing modules devices=cat proc/cmdline | 23:42 |
| sethk | amitprakash, changed them to what? | 23:42 |
| amitprakash | to the new uuids found using vol_id | 23:42 |
| sethk | amitprakash, well, since "root=cat proc/cmdline" is nonsensical, I'm not surprised | 23:42 |
| Dr_willis | i always liked the 'advancemame' front end called 'advancemenu' but its not getting much support any more. | 23:42 |
| bubble | I have a related question: If I wanted to create a gui for an existing cli program, what should I look into? | 23:42 |
| x_ | nikin i find some program name PowerArchiver ... can unzip 32 diffrent format Zip files ... but it's for Win not Linux .. do u know one big program like that can open 7Zip and more things ?! | 23:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | amitprakash: did you rework menu.lst as well as fstab | 23:43 |
| astro76 | bubble, python is extremely popular lately | 23:43 |
| amitprakash | Jack_Sparrow: yes | 23:43 |
| rsk | x_: file-roller | 23:43 |
| mame | Well Astro I have been toying with all of the front ends and emulators that I come across and I started to see a trend of issues that I have with all of them. I was hoping that by starting fresh with someone to avoid the issues that I have encountered and create something truly and dramatically new for the emulation world of linux which in comparison to its M$ counterpart sucks. | 23:43 |
| sethk | bubble, there are dozens of alternatives. I like python for quick things. | 23:43 |
| Dr_willis | bubble, Hmm. there used to be a 'quick gui builder tool' I used ages and ages ago... i forget its name | 23:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | amitprakash: post them to the pastebin for viewing..please | 23:43 |
| Dr_willis | x_, theres 7zip for linux, and proberly archivers for any other format you can find. | 23:43 |
| mushy | hey ubuntu buddies. i need to know the easy way to open windows files. my google searches are poorly worded | 23:43 |
| sethk | Dr_willis, cobol? | 23:43 |

| Dr_willis | sethk, nah. this was some little multi-front end tool i saw once on a live cd. | 23:44 |
| mushy | sorry by windows files i mean files in a ntfs partition on another harddrive | 23:44 |

| winkman | test_: how can i install an older version? | 23:48 |
| sethk | amitprakash, I don't understand why you are bothering with UUID | 23:48 |
| ipiz | nikin is there any alternatives to putty? | 23:49 |
| CountX | scguy318, imma remove package reinstall and let u know | 23:49 |
| test_ | by downgrading | 23:49 |
| bubble | x_ you should be able to do that easier and cleaner from within the BIOS | 23:49 |
| test_ | from the firefox site | 23:49 |

| === matttis_angry is now known as matttis_d | ||
| potamota | quick one, 7.10 gutsy or feisty ? | 23:49 |
| ipiz | Unimatr|x What about it? | 23:49 |
| amitprakash | sethk, Jack_Sparrow.. sorry to have overlooked.. i'll try to fix this again.. | 23:49 |
| ipiz | potamota gutsy. | 23:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | amitprakash: and no root= in the recovery option... | 23:49 |
| am_ | Hi, could someone help me with a dual-boot problem? i tried to install GRUB, but now i cant load Vista | 23:49 |
| potamota | ipiz: thnks | 23:50 |
| x_ | bubble i tried can't find it ... is tham some Command line for that ?! | 23:50 |
| astro76 | mame, probably some gaming forum... I don't really see you having much luck... probably better to see if you can convince an existing front-end author to implement your suggestions | 23:50 |
| amitprakash | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 23:50 |
| sethk | am_, is that really a problem? (Just kidding) | 23:50 |
| ipiz | potamota fiesty is 7.04 | 23:50 |
| Unimatr|x | i use ubuntu and win xp | 23:50 |
| am_ | sethk, lol but i need Vista (unfortuantely) for work | 23:50 |
| mame | Astro76: Thanks | 23:50 |
| potamota | ipiz: cool, it just no sound in my ubuntu | 23:50 |
| ipiz | sethk any help? | 23:50 |
| sethk | am_, I know, occasionally I do also. | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | YeTr2: either way... grub is wrong... | 23:51 |
| am_ | sethk, so do you know the problem? | 23:51 |
| ipiz | potamota Use alsaconf or alsamixer (not sure, which one) | 23:51 |
| sethk | am_, put your menu.lst on the pastebin site and we'll see if we can figure it out. | 23:51 |
| bubble | x_ I don't think so. It's usually in the bios. Says "boot up numlock state" or something similar. | 23:51 |
| am_ | sethk, it says the 3 ubuntu thingies, which it did before, and Vista/Longhorn (Loader), but when i press on the vista one nothing happens | 23:51 |
| am_ | also, its not graphical | 23:51 |
| Unimatr|x | i reintalled win xp and wanted to restore grub so i talked to a friend and he rewrote some clusters on my hard drive (he knew what he was doing... right) now my partition alocation thigy is gone | 23:51 |
| sethk | ipiz, you can run some test programs, but all that will tell you is what you already know. | 23:51 |
| bubble | x_ you don't have an IBM by chance, do you? | 23:51 |
| x_ | bubble thanks ... gonna check it again ;-) | 23:52 |
| sethk | ipiz, try a traceroute, see if that might give any clues. | 23:52 |
| am_ | sethk, how would i do that | 23:52 |
| kazol | I have a problem with the sound not working after some time. | 23:52 |
| scguy318 | Unimatr|x: your partition table is gone? | 23:52 |
| amitprakash | Jack_Sparrow, so i just need to make it root= instead of ==? also recovery boot leads to the same error | 23:52 |
| Unimatr|x | yep | 23:52 |
| scguy318 | Unimatr|x: ouch, run testdisk on it | 23:52 |
| Unimatr|x | rewriten, complety | 23:52 |
| x_ | bubble nope .. i have desktop | 23:52 |
| patrick_ | What is the bar thing at the bottom of this desktop? http://www.lifehack.org/wp-content/files/2007/06/clean-desktop.jpg | 23:52 |
| sethk | am_, the URL is in the channel subject line. | 23:52 |
| ipiz | Unimatr|x You should always install linux _after_ windoze, since windoze's bootloader doesn't like linux. | 23:52 |
| bubble | x_ IBM remembers the last state of numlock | 23:52 |
| scguy318 | Unimatr|x: if he overwrote the boot code then that's a diff story | 23:52 |
| Unimatr|x | yes, now i know | 23:52 |
| ipiz | sethk isn't that replaced by tracepath? heh. | 23:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | amitprakash: recovery line is wrong as well.. check it out | 23:52 |
| scguy318 | Unimatr|x: but part table...ouch use testdisk to recover | 23:53 |
| CountX | scguy318, is there a deb available somewhere? | 23:53 |
| bulmer | alternative to putty is Freenx ..there is a windows client version | 23:53 |
| Unimatr|x | problem is how do i restore my original partitions from within Ubuntu? | 23:53 |
| scguy318 | CountX: its on that bug link | 23:53 |
| sethk | ipiz, not for me, I'm a dinosaur :) | 23:53 |
| ipiz | sethk Anywho, I can connect , no problem.. but it's just lagging .. | 23:53 |

| mushy | help help help | 23:53 |
| chad_ | My ubuntu computer wont reconize my 2 ntfs partitons. it did yesterday... plz help me. my email is compboy888@gmail.com | 23:53 |
| ipiz | Unimatr|x /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda (if you have EIDE HDD) | 23:53 |
| sethk | am_, right | 23:53 |
| ikonia | mushy: best way to get ignored | 23:53 |
| RP_SWE | ?is it possible to have a script during bootup so the internet connection gets hooked up ? :D it is a wireless connection | 23:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mushy: CAPS will just get you ignored. | 23:54 |
| ikonia | mushy: there is no need to use caps or ask help help help | 23:54 |
| YeTr2 | Unimatr|x: I'm sorry, but I think you are SOL with your partitioning. unless you can recall exactly how the partitions were mananged, you would need to have a harddrisk forensic expert to rebuild your partition table. | 23:54 |
| mushy | just tell me what to search on google | 23:54 |
| mushy | please | 23:54 |
| ikonia | mushy: just ask your question in a polite and concise manner | 23:54 |
| am_ | sethk, so what where do i look to do this (im not very good at computers) | 23:54 |
| scguy318 | Unimatr|x: use testdisk to recover | 23:54 |
| scguy318 | YeTr2: not totally | 23:54 |
| scguy318 | YeTr2: he could take a shot with testdisk and other apps like it | 23:54 |
| YeTr2 | scguy318: new utility? | 23:54 |
| mushy | how do i open an mp3 from a mofo windows ntfs harddrive | 23:54 |
| sethk | am_, just go to that URL. There is a box that says "paste here". Then you click on a button (I don't remember if it says save or submit or ok, but you'll see it). | 23:54 |
| === number_6 is now known as illovae | ||
| ikonia | mushy: "mofo" is not acceptable language | 23:54 |
| Dr_willis | I thought the latest ubuntu put all the 'windows hard drives' in /media mushy have you looked there yet? | 23:54 |
| Unimatr|x | i'm quite new to ubuntu, could someone guide me through the process? | 23:54 |
| ikonia | mushy: I've just asked you to ask in a polite and concise way | 23:54 |
| mushy | NO I HAVNT | 23:54 |
| scguy318 | YeTr2: new? I think...not | 23:54 |
| mushy | thanks<3 | 23:54 |
| ikonia | Unimatr|x: which process | 23:54 |
| sethk | am_, then your browser will update. Copy the URL it shows, and paste it here. | 23:55 |
| bubble | I thought caps lock was cruise control for cool....?? | 23:55 |
| Dr_willis | mushy, you MIGHT want to go check out the Ubuntu starters guide also..... | 23:55 |
| am_ | sethk, no i mean what would i put there, i see the site and what to do, but i dont see what i need to paste | 23:55 |
| ikonia | mushy: please stop using cap in letter | 23:55 |

| Unimatr|x | testdisk partition recovery procedure | 23:55 |
| CountX | scguy318, that worked, i downloaded the rpm off adode and converted using alien, and that didnt work somehow | 23:55 |
| mushy | wait wheres the /media | 23:55 |
| YeTr2 | scguy318: how well does that work with encrypted disks? | 23:55 |
| mushy | there is no media | 23:55 |
| slugone | help me i just switched to linux and im addicted !! | 23:55 |
| scguy318 | !rpm | CountX | 23:55 |
| ubotu | CountX: 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) | 23:55 |
| Dr_willis | mushy, /media is the full path.. typt it in the address bar. | 23:55 |
| ikonia | Unimatr|x: I've never used that process, I actually don't believe in it at the moment | 23:55 |
| scguy318 | YeTr2: if it's encryted its SOL :) | 23:55 |
| rico | hey guys. when I do a repartition, the UUIDs of partitions get changed, correct? | 23:55 |
| Dr_willis | !startersguide | 23:56 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about startersguide - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:56 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. | 23:56 |
| patrick_ | What is the bar thing at the bottom of this desktop? http://www.lifehack.org/wp-content/files/2007/06/clean-desktop.jpg | 23:56 |
| Dr_willis | rico, yes tehy do. | 23:56 |
| patrick_ | please! | 23:56 |
| ikonia | patrick_: what ? | 23:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | patrick_: its Avant window manager, google it. | 23:56 |
| patrick_ | please! | 23:56 |
| patrick_ | What is the bar thing at the bottom of this desktop? http://www.lifehack.org/wp-content/files/2007/06/clean-desktop.jpg | 23:56 |
| scguy318 | Unimatr|x: boot a recovery distro like Rescubuntu | 23:56 |
| rico | Dr_willis, my fstab (by default) uses UUIDs. how should I go about changing them? same with GRUB. | 23:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | patrick_: take a paxil... | 23:56 |
| mushy | ok /media shows no windows harddrive does that mean i should mount it | 23:56 |
| ikonia | patrick_: calm down, this is an ubuntu support channel | 23:56 |
| Unimatr|x | where do i get rescobuntu? | 23:56 |
| patrick_ | Thanks! Merry Christmas! | 23:56 |
| Ttech | Hi, I need help, I want to play dvd's I innstalled the libdvdcss2 lib but it still won't play. | 23:56 |
| CountX | arrrr, stickam.com still doesnt work... | 23:57 |
| nikin | hy. what package i have to reconfigure to enable default use of bitmap fonts in X? i did a dpkg-reconfigure --all and setted there.. and it made some of my themes llook a lot better. but i dont remember the name of the package | 23:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | !dvd | Tt | 23:57 |
| ubotu | Tt: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 23:57 |
| Dr_willis | rico, change them to use the /dev/ type entry. Or find the uuid of your parittions and put the correct #'s in there. | 23:57 |
| rico | patrick_, that's windows, and it's probably objectdock (for windows, again) | 23:57 |
| Dr_willis | rico, or change the uuid's of the drives. :) | 23:57 |
| scguy318 | Unimatr|x: http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org | 23:57 |
| Dr_willis | !uuid | 23:57 |
| ubotu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 23:57 |
| slugone | when is the next ubuntu release due ? | 23:57 |
