| LillBirdy | Nickrud: Yeah but when I browse for a file on let say (reconstructor or any other program) I get to weird libraries and I can't get back to the home/desktop/documents where my real files are. | 00:00 |
| Slart | qwaz: you're welcome | 00:00 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: from glancing over this quickly, he does give good advice. And he does *not* talk about compiling the s3 driver. | 00:00 |
| backgen | wols: in Ubuntu LiveCD when trying to install Ubuntu | 00:00 |
| nickrud | sfielder, I remember seeing your link, and two things: I don't know intel chips, and don't have two monitors :) | 00:00 |
| In_Silico | heh, weird, all the gui folders showed this time when I relaunched gedit | 00:00 |
| Eagleray | backgen: right - run 'sudo fdisk /dev/hda', and say when | 00:00 |

| Eagleray | backgen: make sure the disk isn't mounted | 00:00 |
| Eagleray | backgen: and close gparted if it's open | 00:01 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: K, teach me, I obviously am not understanding | 00:01 |
| wols_ | first time I heard of a linux caring about partition types | 00:01 |
| gonzoism | window next | 00:01 |
| sfielder | nickrud: thanks. any ideas who or where to ask for more help? | 00:01 |
| backgen | it says unable to open | 00:01 |
| === clever[rev] is now known as clever | ||
| nickrud | LillBirdy, ah, ok. on the right of the file manager window, you should see a Places box | 00:01 |
| backgen | Eagleray: should i close the Installer? | 00:01 |
| LillBirdy | nickrud: ok, do you mean the location box or a button called places? | 00:02 |
| nickrud | sfielder, sometimes people with that experience come through here. I'd suggest subscribing to the ubuntu-users mailling list, some smart answers there | 00:02 |
| Eagleray | backgen: yes please | 00:02 |
| nickrud | LillBirdy, we are talking about the file broswser, right? | 00:02 |
| gonzoism | Phusion :) | 00:02 |
| Phusion | ? | 00:02 |
| backgen | Eagleray: ok just did, ran the command again and got the same response: "unable to open /dev/hda" | 00:02 |
| LillBirdy | Nickrud: Yea | 00:02 |
| Eagleray | backgen: the only thing you should have open is the terminal with fdisk, you don't want anything accessing the disk or you'll have errors writing the partition table | 00:03 |
| scragar | totem isn't playing my iso files when it used to, has anyone ever had this problem before, and if so how do I fix it(they work fine once burned) | 00:03 |
| Phusion | did I say something witty and forget? | 00:03 |
| Eagleray | backgen: did you remember to run 'sudo fdisk' ? | 00:03 |
| oggie | is there someplace i can get help for setting up my eggdrop | 00:03 |
| SyntaxError55 | Nevermind, I just used the .package offered on InkScape's website. | 00:03 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: I've experimented with various depth levels and currently have depth set at 24 | 00:03 |
| backgen | Eagleray: yup | 00:03 |
| Phusion | oggie: try google, lots of tutorials | 00:03 |
| gonzoism | Phusion yeah. i just got back and scrolled up. not so witty. just nice. :) | 00:03 |
| Phusion | oh, what did I say? | 00:03 |
| nickrud | LillBirdy, I have a pane that shows the current directory's files and folders on the left, and on the right there's a side pane. It has rich, Desktop, Filesystem, etc in it | 00:03 |
| oggie | i looked at eggheads.org and ./configure doesnt work for the apt-get version | 00:03 |
| Eagleray | backgen: that's slightly concerning, can you reboot please? (still to the livecd) | 00:03 |
| gonzoism | Phusion about not being a video guru | 00:03 |
| Phusion | ohhhh ok. | 00:04 |
| oggie | i ./eggdrop at the folder and it says no configuration files | 00:04 |
| backgen | Eagleray: absolutely, be right back | 00:04 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: this guy says he can't see an issue with your setup. You say you're on 800x600 -- using gnome? | 00:04 |
| Phusion | oggie: well.. wait.. what? | 00:04 |
| Slart | oggie: ./configure is for the source version... when you apt-get something you get the compiled version | 00:04 |
| Eagleray | backgen: cheers | 00:04 |
| Phusion | oggie: you need to google, you're missing some steps | 00:04 |
| Phusion | oggie: this is ubuntu support, not eggdrop | 00:04 |
| mkz | I've started to notice something rather irritating. I am developing with NetBeans 5.5.1. On fairly regular intervals I'm able to observe a java task run away with 99% of CPU and it hangs my netbeans for the duration. Is there anyway I can track down the source of this issue? I'm running on Gutsy with the latest update applied... | 00:04 |
| oggie | ive looked, but i think its exclusive to ubuntu | 00:04 |
| Phusion | oggie: well, I think you're wrong and you need to look more | 00:05 |
| fabio | my virtualbox dont detect my dvd rom what i need to do? | 00:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Eagleray: thanks for helping... hope you see my reasoning for trying to be extra careful | 00:05 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: Can PB the xorg.conf.backup and Xorg.0.log.backup. These are the ones that error out and leave blank screen. Currently running on xorg.conf.failsafe. | 00:05 |
| Slart | can't you just run the bot right away? without compiling? | 00:05 |
| Phusion | oggie: if I type eggdrop configuration ubuntu into google and find something, will you paypal me $500? | 00:05 |
| hatdude | Hey Hey | 00:05 |
| hatdude | Quick question | 00:05 |

| Eagleray | Jack_Sparrow: the fact that fdisk -l works though means that the table is fine, but he should be able to open it | 00:06 |
| hatdude | How do I have 2 foundewrs? | 00:06 |

| hatdude | You clearly are new to IRC | 00:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Eagleray: Agreed, but thats also why I didnt just want to stamp the ubuntu install onto that drive | 00:07 |
| Slart | hatdude: start making sense or we can't help you | 00:07 |
| hatdude | You don't know what founders are | 00:07 |
| wols_ | hatdude: this is not ubuntu related. ask #freenode or scuh | 00:07 |
| unbeatabl | it seems on the hosting for godaddy, index.html does not take precedence over index.php, how can i make it do so? | 00:07 |

| hatdude | k l8er | 00:07 |

| Slart | unbeatabl: ask godaddy if it's their server | 00:07 |
| Eagleray | Jack_Sparrow: yeah I'm starting to wonder the same thing - if fdisk doesn't work properly after this reboot then I think that your DOS solution is maybe the best way, and I'd back up anything important asap | 00:07 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: Explain *native* | 00:07 |
| unbeatabl | i was wondering if theres a .htaccess work around | 00:08 |
| Eagleray | Jack_Sparrow: if the disk is failing, that's obviously not a good thing for his data | 00:08 |
| === mkz is now known as mzanfardino | ||
| soundray | TBotNik_u: the resolution it was constructed to work with | 00:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Eagleray: agreed... | 00:08 |
| wols_ | TBotNik_u: a panel works best at a certain resolution all others being interpolated and of lesser qualit | 00:08 |
| Slart | unbeatabl: oh.. I wouldn't know.. look at the apache docs perhaps | 00:08 |
| Eagleray | Jack_Sparrow: my usual approach would be to dd the boot sector, but I doubt he has a backup | 00:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Eagleray: what about dd'ing or tar his windows to the fat32 as a form of backup | 00:08 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: You mean the res of the monitor? | 00:09 |
| soporte | what's up | 00:09 |
| Eagleray | Jack_Sparrow: no good, it's on the same physical disk | 00:09 |

| soundray | TBotNik_u: yes | 00:09 |

| ikari | Hi, I have a little problem and i hope you can help me.. My lap ran out of battery and turned off, now the wireless card is off (iwconfig says so). The network mannager has no option for turning it on. How do I turn it on? | 00:10 |
| fabio | my virtualbox dont detect my dvd rom what i need to do? | 00:10 |
| Eagleray | backgen: then I have to concur with Jack_Sparrow on this, I see why he was being so cautious | 00:10 |
| backgen | Phusion: hey phusion....its very confusing...and so far i dont think i have any OS that works on my system...or my hard disk is fried...which would really piss me off | 00:10 |
| Eagleray | backgen: a partition table that can't be read is not a good thing | 00:10 |
| Phusion | backgen: yeah, it sounded like you had some serious data corruption issues | 00:11 |
| Slart | backgen: tried testdisk? | 00:11 |
| Eagleray | backgen: do you have any means to back up the data on your windows partition before we go any further? | 00:11 |
| soundray | ikari: does it have a switch or a button for turning wifi on/off? | 00:11 |
| wols_ | backgen: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr count=1 bs=512 | 00:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: usb stick.. anything... | 00:11 |
| wols_ | backgen: does this give errors? | 00:11 |
| backgen | Eagleray: all the important stuff has been backed up (at least i think) the only thing thats left on there is 4 seasons of Seinfeld...sniff snuff | 00:11 |
| ikari | soundray: it has a pushable LED, but it does not seem to work. It's an Acer TM laptop | 00:12 |
| Eagleray | backgen: do what wols_ said, if this gives errors then your disk is physically failing | 00:12 |
| Eagleray | backgen: if it succeeds, then you probably just have a corrupt MBR | 00:12 |
| backgen | wols: should i paste bin the response? it doesnt look like any errors though | 00:12 |
| wols_ | backgen: no. if there is no text, then there are no errors | 00:12 |
| Eagleray | backgen: please, just in case | 00:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: FYI.. you would never get this kind of support from Dell, Windows or any other distro | 00:12 |
| soundray | ikari: reboot the laptop and press the button while the grub menu displays. Then it should turn on. | 00:12 |
| wols_ | Jack_Sparrow: I respectfully disagree :) | 00:13 |
| Eagleray | backgen: as wols_ said, you don't _need_ to, but I'm in super-cautious mode now | 00:13 |
| aladdinsane | I cant write to my usb drive, i get "Read-only file system" although my fstab looks like this: /dev/sdd1 /media/K750 vfat user,rw,umask=000 0 0 | 00:13 |
| aladdinsane | sudo chmod -R 777 /media/K750/ gives me: "Read-only file system" | 00:13 |
| aladdinsane | anybody got an idea? | 00:13 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: yeah i must say i'm reallly impressed with Ubuntu support...especially since this is free | 00:13 |
| wols_ | dell, windows, sure. there are probably several channels on this network alone who would give as much support | 00:13 |
| backgen | wols: ok well i did get a message | 00:13 |
| wols_ | backgen: message being? | 00:13 |

| wols_ | ok. that's fine | 00:13 |
| backgen | hourray!!! | 00:14 |
| Eagleray | backgen: looks just fine | 00:14 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: "free" support was implied of course | 00:14 |
| ikari | soundray: mmh, i'll try that... see you in a couple of minutes (rebooting now) | 00:14 |
| backgen | hahaha btw...are you guys getting paid for this or do you just do this in your spare time? | 00:14 |
| wols_ | Eagleray:, Jack_Sparrow can you bring me up to speed what his problem is? | 00:14 |

| b1n0ry | i'm having some difficulty installing ubuntu on my laptop. can i have some assistance please? | 00:15 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: what is the *native* resolution of your panel? | 00:15 |
| wols_ | fdisk/cfdisk and change the partition type. done | 00:16 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: what's the problem? | 00:16 |
| wols_ | let ubuntu mkfs it to a proper fs and be done | 00:16 |
| soundray | b1n0ry: no | 00:16 |
| * nickrud wonders just how many people are here like Eagleray Jack_Sparrow and me :) | 00:16 | |
| soundray | b1n0ry: that is, if you say what the issue is, we might have a chance. | 00:16 |
| Eagleray | wols_: phonecall, brb | 00:16 |
| andreas__ | hey | 00:16 |
| jack12 | hey guys . | 00:16 |
| wols_ | alternativels delete the aprtition with cfdisk or such and same result with letting ubuntu do the partitioning | 00:16 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: I said I do not understand "what is the *native* resolution of your panel?"!! Do you mean monitor instead of panel? | 00:16 |
| Slart | nickrud: what do you mean, like you? | 00:16 |
| backgen | wols: whoa that sounds radical...would it work though? or might the disk get fried? | 00:16 |
| b1n0ry | Slart/soundray: i downloaded the live cd, and it's too slow to work with. so i got the alternate cd. | 00:16 |
| andreas__ | I am having trouble with Apollon anybody to help? | 00:16 |
| jack12 | quick question, y does ubuntu 7.10 not have a iftab file? | 00:17 |
| jack12 | does anybody know about this? | 00:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: I do dental.. you do medical right | 00:17 |
| wols_ | backgen: changing a partition type doesn't do anything bad, escept that window iwll not recognize it anymore which is no big loss | 00:17 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: the live cd isn't what I'd work with.. I'd just use it to install.. but ok.. | 00:17 |
| backgen | wols_: whats cfdisk? | 00:17 |
| b1n0ry | Slart/soundray: when i boot, i select "install linux text mode", it says "loading linux kernel" and i get a progress bar | 00:17 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: the panel is the part of your monitor that does the actual displaying. | 00:17 |
| wols_ | backgen: a program. dunno if the live cd has it | 00:17 |
| b1n0ry | Slart: that's what i mean... i'm installing, but it's too slow to install with | 00:17 |
| wols_ | backgen: text based partition tool | 00:17 |
| backgen | wols_: well i have Gparted | 00:17 |
| Stylee | is there a way to have X on 16bpp and run terminal emulator? | 00:17 |
| b1n0ry | Slart/soundray: the progress bar completes, screen switches to text mode, like it's supposed to | 00:18 |
| backgen | wols_: could i use that? | 00:18 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: to slow? the tigers eat you before you're finished? you get errors?.. how can it be to slow? | 00:18 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, informational line | 00:18 |
| wols_ | backgen: I didn't say anything about gparted. open a terminal, sudo cfdisk /dev/sda. if that doesn't work, sudo fdisk /dev/sda | 00:18 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: I'm us, we call that monitor. Panel is a part of the active desktop Gnome software so you had me confused. | 00:18 |
| b1n0ry | i'm not concerned about the slow... i'm on the alternate CD now, not the live CD | 00:18 |
| nickrud | Slart, idling here cuz there's not much to do at work at the moment | 00:18 |
| Slart | nickrud: oh.. count me in then | 00:18 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: how much ram? | 00:18 |
| jack12 | quick question, y does ubuntu 7.10 not have a iftab file? | 00:18 |
| wols_ | Stylee: why would a xterm depend on colordepth? | 00:18 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: 1.5 gb | 00:18 |
| Slart | !y | 00:18 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about y - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:18 |
| Slart | !u | 00:18 |
| ubotu | Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 00:18 |
| b1n0ry | anyway... screen switches to text mode, then i get a flash like it was trying to switch screen modes again. screen goes black and the cd-rom spins down. | 00:19 |
| b1n0ry | nothing happens | 00:19 |
| backgen | wols_: holy cow...ok the Terminal screen just turned dark grey...and i think this is the partition thing you were talking about | 00:19 |
| backgen | wols_: so what now? | 00:19 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: The modeline show the default res of the monitor which is 1152x864@73. | 00:19 |
| Stylee | wols_: this is what I am wondering to, but it doesn't load when I set to 16 in xorg.conf | 00:19 |
| wols_ | backgen: which one? | 00:19 |
| Slart | jack12: I'm guessing the iftab contains info on your network cards? that's in /etc/network or something | 00:19 |
| wols_ | backgen: and the partition thing should be fairly self explanatory | 00:19 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: don't teach me English please. The panel in an LCD monitor is the equivalent of a tube in a CRT monitor | 00:19 |
| backgen | wols_: cfdisk | 00:19 |
| markaa | I am trying to restart samba from the terminal and did the following command: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart --------- however I get this error: sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found | 00:19 |
| markaa | This is the first time this has happened to me.... this command has always worked.... anyone? | 00:19 |
| Eagleray | wols_: back, sorry about that - anyway, the reason we're concerned is that fdisk won't load his partition table | 00:19 |
| jack12 | Slart: i will check /etc/network | 00:20 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: I doubt that if dd reads it | 00:20 |
| Eagleray | Jack_Sparrow: gaa..... users | 00:20 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: Not teaching, just telling what we call things here. | 00:20 |
| wols_ | backgen: can you pastebin the xterm content? | 00:20 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: well, you're telling me wrong. | 00:20 |
| backgen | Eagleray: i just loaded cfdisk onto Terminal | 00:20 |
| Eagleray | wols_: dd is reading the raw MBR, that's not to say that there is something meaningful there.... | 00:20 |
| b1n0ry | so, that's what's going on. to summarize: live cd is too slow, got the alternate. alternate starts to load but when it switches to text mode, gives me a couple lines like a standard linux kernel load on a laptop, screen goes black, then it just sits there. | 00:20 |
| backgen | wols_: sure do you have a link to paste bin? | 00:21 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: since fdisk -l could deal with the mbr there should... | 00:21 |
| wols_ | !paste | backgen | 00:21 |
| ubotu | backgen: 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) | 00:21 |
| Eagleray | wols_: I agree with your solution, it's what I was planning on trying in the first place, until fdisk started spitting out errors | 00:21 |
| Slart | jack12: there's also some stuff in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 00:21 |
| byah | woah... man I really am a noob. I just came from windows sort of lol. | 00:21 |
| Slart | jack12: depends on what you're looking for | 00:21 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: this is why I want cfdisk output right now | 00:21 |
| jals | is there a way to make all trash go to the same place? my second hdd makes its own .Trash directory which i keep forgetting do empty | 00:21 |
| Eagleray | wols_: :-) | 00:21 |
| jack12 | nope, /etc/networks has nothin like iftab?? | 00:21 |
| Slart | jals: then you'd have to copy stuff every time it's deleted.. takes time | 00:21 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: did you tell him to use sudo with fdisk? | 00:22 |
| ikari | soundray: it didn't work, isn't there any console command for turning it on? | 00:22 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: a modeline is a software setting. To answer my question, it's no use to refer to a modeline. You need to find out what the number of physical pixels in your monitor is. | 00:22 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: As you can tell from the PBs and other (file PB at: http://pastebin.ca/824472) the monitor is an AMW MR19C-AB LCD monitor. | 00:22 |
| backgen | wols_:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48951/ | 00:22 |
| Eagleray | wols_: yep, and it failed | 00:22 |
| cr4 | does any body here Know the way to mount shared folders NFS in fstab ? | 00:22 |
| wols_ | jack12: what do you want it for? | 00:22 |
| soundray | ikari: with Acer I'm not sure. Look into acerhk | 00:22 |
| Vlet | How can one, from ssh, connect to (control?) an actually tty on a system? | 00:22 |
| b1n0ry | i like ubuntu because (at least what i've seen of the live cd) it recognizes my wifi.. unlike every other distro i've tried. as of now, i'm stuck on windows :( | 00:22 |
| zaxius | if i type glxinfo | grep render, and it says direct rendering: No, does that mean 3d acceleration is not enabled? | 00:22 |
| zaxius | cuz i can run compiz fine. | 00:22 |
| jack12 | wols: i want to rename some of my interfaces | 00:22 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: that doesn't tell me what its resolution is. | 00:22 |
| wols_ | backgen: that free space is kinda funny and slightly worrying | 00:22 |
| jack12 | *network interfaces | 00:22 |
| Eagleray | cr4: server:/path/to/folder /local/mount/point nfs defaults 0 0 | 00:22 |
| markaa | this is really strange... I had just installed Gutsy on this machine 2 days ago and I thought for sure Samba Server was installed by default..... but it was not..... and so I have to install it .... why do you think this would happen? | 00:22 |
| fabio | my virtualbox dont detect my dvd rom what i need to do? | 00:22 |
| Slart | jack12: I think you want the udev one .. /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 00:22 |
| wols_ | jack12: there is no need for iftab. use udev | 00:22 |
| cr4 | Eagleray, just defaults 0 0 ? | 00:23 |
| soundray | ikari: 'apt-cache search acerhk' | 00:23 |
| wols_ | jack12: the file Slart mentions | 00:23 |
| backgen | wols_: what!! i hadn't noticed that...that was my dell utility before | 00:23 |
| Eagleray | cr4: unless you need something kinky, yes | 00:23 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: We did that using the modeline generator I referred you to. If you were reading the notes from Neddy, you see that the web site and other info we can gather online about this device does not tell us any other info we need. | 00:23 |
| byah | I am sorry people, but I am totally clueless right now. Is there an IRC I can lurk and learn from for awhile? | 00:23 |
| jack12 | wols: what about ppl that install stuff like ndiswrapper in ubuntu, how do they go about editing "iftab' | 00:23 |
| LjL | wols_, mind joining -ops a second? | 00:23 |
| backgen | wols_: ok wait i'll paste bin the correction | 00:23 |
| stacey | on a toshiba laptop i only get sound though my headphones | 00:23 |
| cr4 | Eagleray, ok thanks man | 00:23 |
| b1n0ry | Slart/soundray: any suggestions? | 00:23 |
| wols_ | jack12: I told you. unecessary | 00:23 |
| jack12 | wols_: thanks dude | 00:24 |
| Slart | Vlet: I tried doing that for years for my debian server.. noone could give me a good answer.. tell me if you find something | 00:24 |
| soundray | ikari: this may enable the special acer keys on your machine. | 00:24 |
| backgen | wols_:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48952/ | 00:24 |
| backgen | there we go | 00:24 |
| Eagleray | wols_: Jack_Sparrow: backgen: will you guys be ok if I head off for my lunchbreak, or do you want me to hang around for a while? Will be back in 35 mins or so otherwise | 00:24 |
| Phusion | soundray: what will enable acer buttons? | 00:24 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: huh? could you repeat the question? | 00:24 |
| wols_ | backgen: did you restart cfdisk and this is the result? | 00:24 |
| ikonia | Eagleray: will you guys be "ok"? | 00:24 |
| fabio | my virtualbox dont detect my dvd rom what i need to do? | 00:24 |
| backgen | wols_: i have no idea how that free space got there...but i just typed in sudo cfdisk /dev/sda again into Terminal and got that | 00:24 |
| backgen | wols_: yes | 00:25 |
| ikari | soundray: other hotkeys seem to be working fine.. | 00:25 |
| cocox | do you know how to change the languaje into your bash shell??? | 00:25 |
| b1n0ry | Slart: live cd is too slow, got the alternate. alternate starts to load but when it switches to text mode, gives me a couple lines like a standard linux kernel load on a laptop, screen goes black, then it just sits there. | 00:25 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: ah.. it goes black before or after the install if finished? | 00:25 |
| RB2 | Hi Everyone. I added a second monitor. Should X automatically detect that or do I have to run through the X configuration again? | 00:25 |
| soundray | Phusion: there is a package for it. I think it's called acerhk or has that in the name. | 00:25 |
| Slart | before then... right | 00:25 |
| Phusion | soundray: hrmm, interesting | 00:25 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: If you google this monitor or go to the mfg site of pge (china) you find nothing. | 00:25 |
| soundray | ikari: check your BIOS setup as well to ensure it's not disabled in there. | 00:26 |
| b1n0ry | Slart: it boots, gives me the boot menu, it says "install text mode", it says "loading kernel", switches to text screen mode, screen goes black | 00:26 |
| b1n0ry | Slart: never starts the install, never shows signs that it actually loaded the kernel | 00:26 |
| Eagleray | wols_: Jack_Sparrow: backgen: back in half an hour, will check backscroll for anything addressed to me when I get back | 00:26 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: do you have another operating system on this machine? | 00:26 |
| b1n0ry | Slart: and the cd-rom spins down | 00:26 |
| backgen | Eagleray: well i guess its up to you, but i wouldn't want to deprive you of your lunch! Thanks for all your help | 00:26 |
| wols_ | backgen: it doesn't recognize recovery partitions very well probably | 00:26 |
| ikari | soundray: ok... | 00:26 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: no just ubuntu | 00:27 |
| wols_ | but that it once recognizes it and sometimes not is worrying | 00:27 |
| backgen | wols_: ok so what should i do next? | 00:27 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: hmm.. I'm not really familiar with the alternate install.. it stays in text mode? or it goes into some vesa mode??...no error messages at all? | 00:27 |
| wols_ | backgen: where is that mbr file I told you about? | 00:27 |
| jack12 | does anybody know of any good programs for laptop touchpad sensitivity controls?? | 00:27 |
| backgen | wols_: which mbr file? | 00:27 |
| wols_ | can you copy it to some external medium like a usb stick? | 00:27 |
| b1n0ry | Slart: the alternate install is supposed to be text-based install. it is supposed to be in text mode. though the screen flashes like it goes into a weird mode or something. | 00:27 |
| wols_ | the one you created with dd earlier. the one that had 512bytes written | 00:27 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: perhaps it's some hardware detection routine.. I really have no idea.. | 00:28 |
| b1n0ry | Slart: the problem with the live CD is... i click the install icon, wait 45 minutes, answer the first question, wait 45 minutes, answer the second question, wait 30 minutes... give up | 00:28 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: I have another machine on KVM to this monitor that is Gentoo and it is working, but Neddy helped me with that one. Sorry the same setting in the xorg.conf there do not fix any thing here. | 00:28 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: can you switch to a text console, log in and run 'sudo ddcprobe' | 00:28 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: well.. at least it's working =) | 00:28 |
| backgen | wols_: whoa...i don't recall ever doing that actually... | 00:28 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: you may have to install that tool | 00:28 |
| b1n0ry | Slart: yeah, but i don't have 10 hours to install an OS ;) | 00:29 |
| === stacey is now known as Xbehave | ||
| slugone | crud i burned the ubuntu iso to a blank cd and it failed the integrity test.....will it be hard to configure a 1 gig usb stick to boot and install ubuntu | 00:29 |
| soundray | b1n0ry: how much RAM do you have? | 00:29 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: hehe.. nah.. 10 hours is a bit much.. I agree.. is there an option to "check install disc" or something? | 00:29 |
| b1n0ry | soundray: 1.5 GB | 00:29 |
| Slart | 1.5 GB... the live CD shouldn't be that slow.. | 00:29 |
| bim | network manager: I dialed a pptp connection, it connected successfully, but the network manager doesn't know. So it won't let me connect a vpn. | 00:30 |
| TBotNik | soundray: That command totally locked the box, will have to hard reboot. | 00:30 |
| Slart | I installed on a computer with 500 MB.. worked great | 00:30 |
| bim | and I don't know how to dial a vpn from command line. | 00:30 |
| soundray | b1n0ry: you haven't disabled anything vital in the BIOS setup, like 2nd level caching? | 00:30 |
| b1n0ry | Slart/sounray: no kidding. 1.5 GB RAM and a 3.2 GB proc... decent for a laptop | 00:30 |
| b1n0ry | 3.2 MHz | 00:30 |
| b1n0ry | dang, not thinking | 00:30 |
| cocox | does anybody knows how to change the languaje into your bash shell??? | 00:30 |
| b1n0ry | GHz | 00:30 |
| b1n0ry | wtf | 00:30 |
| slugone | gigahertz | 00:30 |
| b1n0ry | let me try that again... | 00:31 |
| wols_ | backgen: I gave you a dd command. you ran it | 00:31 |
| slugone | would be nice | 00:31 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: I've installed ubuntu on a via uATX board.. those things run like 700 MHz.. 500MB.. and that was snappy as always | 00:31 |
| b1n0ry | Slart/soundray: no kidding. 1.5 GB RAM and a 3.2 GHz proc... decent for a laptop | 00:31 |
| TBotNik | soundray: Rebooting now. Will bounce in from U box when it's up | 00:31 |
| wols_ | backgen: it created a file named "mbr". you should backup this file and maybe show it to us if at all possible | 00:31 |
| b1n0ry | ...sheesh, got that out | 00:31 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: either you've got some weird hardware.. or something else is wrong | 00:31 |
| wols_ | it's your partition table among other things. so we'd look at it if all 3 partitions show up | 00:31 |
| ubuntu | t.adunanza.net | 00:31 |
| soundray | TBotNik: try booting in recovery mode. Maybe ddcprobe collided with X running. | 00:31 |
| slugone | okay i really need help......i ubuntu cd failed its integrity test.......i gotta put it on a 1gig mem stick will it be hard to boot from the usb drive? | 00:32 |
| backgen | wols_: ah alright...you mean this one? sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr count=1 bs=512 | 00:32 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: and I'm sorry to say.. I won't be able to help you fix it.. wife is pulling me to bed as we speak | 00:32 |
| soundray | wols_: you read binary MBRs? | 00:32 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: but you've got the local guru's here.. they'll help you | 00:32 |
| b1n0ry | Slart: bah, what is it about women in beds that is so distracting | 00:32 |
| backgen | wols_: ok...but where is the file it created though? | 00:32 |
| wols_ | soundray: hex dumps. they're easy | 00:32 |
| b1n0ry | Slart: nite, man :) | 00:32 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: OK back. Sorry, since the cmd locked the box can not share any output with you. | 00:33 |
| Slart | b1n0ry: hehe.. .good night | 00:33 |
| * soundray raises his hat to wols_ | 00:33 | |
| wols_ | 16 bytes pre entry, 4 entries. ends with 55 AA. it's the last 66 bytes of your MBR | 00:33 |
| soundray | TBotNik: try booting in recovery mode. Maybe ddcprobe collided with X running. | 00:33 |
| b1n0ry | i think i'm just gonna have to give in and keep windows | 00:33 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: no! | 00:33 |
| backgen | wols_: "16 bytes pre entry, 4 entries. ends with 55 AA. it's the last 66 bytes of your MBR" was that directed at me? | 00:33 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: K, brb! Rebooting in safe mode. | 00:33 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: ubuntu won't install, and no other disto that i've tried handles my wifi | 00:34 |
| wols_ | backgen: at soundray | 00:34 |
| codo | hi guy | 00:34 |
| codo | s | 00:34 |
| bazhang | what wifi b1n0ry | 00:34 |
| backgen | wols_: oh ok...so that file that the dd command created...where can i find it to back it up? | 00:34 |
| codo | I seem to be having problems | 00:34 |
| wols_ | backgen: you go and make that file available if you can. and most imprtantly, back it up on external media | 00:34 |
| codo | with the wireless in ubuntu | 00:34 |
| fistikuffs | I have a dumb question, can anyone tell me how to save the "always on top" and "always on visible worktop" settings so i don't have to keep doing it every time i start amarok? | 00:34 |
| codo | should i need ndiswrapper ? | 00:34 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: Altheros 5005gs | 00:34 |
| soundray | wols_: cool, thanks! | 00:35 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: and i'm not mucking around with hacked up windows drivers and ndiswrapper or some garbage like that | 00:35 |
| backgen | wols_: i have an external hard drive will that work? | 00:35 |
| wols_ | backgen: yes | 00:35 |
| codo | ? | 00:35 |
| backgen | wols_: ok...so how can i find the file? | 00:35 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: what other distros have you tried with that? | 00:35 |
| papagnome | yo | 00:35 |
| wols_ | codo: depends on your wlan chip | 00:35 |
| codo | anyone who can help me with the ubuntu ndiswrapper stuffs for compaq presario ? | 00:35 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: openSUSE and Fedora | 00:35 |
| papagnome | my duel monitors stoped working | 00:35 |
| ianm_ | can you set a fullscreen application (opengl) to run in xorg background behind GNOME? | 00:35 |
| codo | i have this broadcom chip wols_ | 00:35 |
| papagnome | i tried everything | 00:35 |
| codo | so what can I do, googling has confused me :( | 00:35 |
| wols_ | backgen: it's in the current directory whne you were running the dd command | 00:35 |
| papagnome | even reinstalled ubuntu | 00:36 |
| wols_ | you cab run it again: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr count=1 bs=512 | 00:36 |
| papagnome | i have an nvida card with 2 outputs | 00:36 |
| codo | wols_: so ill need ndiswrappe ? | 00:36 |
| backgen | wols_: you mean Terminal? | 00:36 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: pretty much the mainstream releases | 00:36 |
| soundray | !dualhead > papagnome, please read the private message from ubotu | 00:36 |
| papagnome | and only 1 monitor will work proprer ly | 00:36 |
| codo | anyway i can get my wireless up running ? | 00:36 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: well you can get it working, likely, with the madwifi--but if you are set on windows, then.. | 00:36 |
| wols_ | backgen: yes | 00:36 |
| backgen | wols_: oh ok...so you mean this: 1+0 records in | 00:37 |
| backgen | 1+0 records out | 00:37 |
| backgen | 512 bytes (512 B) copied, 0.000497648 seconds, 1.0 MB/s | 00:37 |
| wols_ | codo: no. bcm43xx should work. not so long ago ndiswrapper was needed however | 00:37 |
| papagnome | sound ray already read that | 00:37 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: i'm not set on it, i just don't want to have to mod crap up, that's all. that's why i was kinda set on ubuntu. what i did see of the live cd at least got me online with my wireless without doing anything but setting my encryption key. | 00:37 |
| backgen | wols_: but how do i save that? | 00:37 |
| wols_ | already saved. in a file named mbr in your current dir | 00:37 |
| backgen | wols_: and transfer it to my external hard drive? | 00:37 |
| wols_ | ls -l mbr | 00:37 |
| cocox | does anybody knows how to change the languaje into your bash shell??? | 00:38 |
| papagnome | when i said i tried everything i really ment it | 00:38 |
| wols_ | mount external harddisk, use cp to copy it over | 00:38 |
| wols_ | cocox: X or console? | 00:38 |
| backgen | wols_: ahhh!! i'm really sorry wols, but i have no clue what your talking about...where's my current directory? | 00:38 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: wait--the wireless worked in livecd mode, then it failed once you installed? sounds like an easy fix | 00:38 |
| aladdinsane | how can i make xubuntu write to my usb drive immidiately, right now it writes to the drive when i unmount it, i get a message with something like "data has to be written to the drive before you unmount it" | 00:38 |
| bazhang | aladdinsane: you have to safely unmount it | 00:39 |
| wols_ | backgen: the directory you are in _right_ now. run "pwd" and it's shown. run "ls -l mbr" and you see a 512 bytes file | 00:39 |
| soundray | aladdinsane: you can mount it with the 'sync' option | 00:39 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: no! i haven't been able to install ubuntu at all. | 00:39 |
| TBotNik | soundray: Where you want the synopsis? | 00:39 |
| codo | wols_: any guides ? | 00:39 |
| OldSpice | I'm making a partition so my windows and linux can both share the space. Am I supposed to make this partition Primary or Logical? | 00:39 |
| wols_ | aladdinsane: mount it synced. should be a mount option IIRC. or run sudo sync | 00:39 |
| skelter | so, my bios says one processor speed, and /proc/cpuinfo gives another. is this a normal thing? 7.10, and one of these new quad core 3ghz procs from intel | 00:39 |
| codo | so that i can go step step installtion ? | 00:39 |
| codo | or rather configuration ? | 00:40 |
| wols_ | !broadcom codo | 00:40 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about broadcom codo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:40 |
| soundray | TBotNik: paste.ubuntu-nl.org or anywhere | 00:40 |
| backgen | wols_: hourray!!!!! i got it | 00:40 |
| wols_ | !broadcom | codo | 00:40 |
| ubotu | codo: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 00:40 |
| skelter | bios says 3ghz, /proc/cpuinfo says 2ghz | 00:40 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: you can use the livecd but not install it? | 00:40 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: i could... sorta... get the live cd to run. i just couldn't install. that's how i figured the wifi would work. | 00:40 |
| aladdinsane | soundray: yes but i dont want to reload fstab everytime i plug it in | 00:40 |
| MasterShrek | skelter: it scales your cpu frequency, it will change when you need more power | 00:40 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: who knows, i gave up trying because of how long it was taking. | 00:40 |
| wols_ | skelter: yes if you use something like cpufreqd | 00:40 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: it took me about 2 hours to get to question #2 | 00:40 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: sorry, what do you mean by sorta? | 00:40 |
| soundray | aladdinsane: "reload fstab"? Once you set sync in fstab, the option will be used every time | 00:40 |
| backgen | wols_: ok i've copied the file onto my external hard drive...what next? | 00:41 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: i clicked the "install" icon on the live cd gnome desktop. it took 30 minutes to completely draw the first installation question window. | 00:41 |
| skelter | oh i see | 00:41 |
| TBotNik | soundray: Gives >> 1280x1024@75 (VESA) <<, >> 1280x1024@70 <<, >> 30-80, 55-75 <<, >> name=A911B << | 00:41 |
| aladdinsane | wols_ at: you mean run sync manually everytime i plug it in? | 00:41 |
| wols_ | backgen: can you upload the file somewhere? can you do dcc? | 00:41 |
| skelter | will /proc/cpuinfo get updated when i need more power? | 00:41 |
| skelter | in real time? | 00:41 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: then it took 45 more minutes to say i spoke english (or whatever the first question was) and get to the next question | 00:41 |
| MasterShrek | skelter: yes | 00:41 |
| wols_ | I want to look at it before I call it a proper backup of the MBR | 00:41 |
| skelter | cool, thanks :) | 00:41 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: and how was it when you were using the livecd? was it really sluggish then? | 00:41 |
| papagnome | is there another linux distro i should look at to use my multiple monitor heads ? | 00:41 |
| OldSpice | jack_sparrow: when making the partition for both windows and ubuntu to access, should i make this primary or logical? | 00:41 |
| wols_ | skelter: yes | 00:41 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: that -was- using the live cd | 00:42 |
| wols_ | OldSpice: doesn't matter. both will work | 00:42 |
| backgen | wols_: umm...well where would you like me to upload it? and whats dcc? | 00:42 |
| loucas | hi | 00:42 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: took about 30 seconds or so for a menu to appear when i clicked on it, that kind of thing | 00:42 |
| OldSpice | wols_: what's the difference between primary and logical? | 00:42 |
| backgen | wols_: i can e-mail it to you if you like | 00:42 |
| wols_ | backgen: dcc is a way to send files over IRC | 00:42 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: no, you are talking about the install sequence--I mean the bit about surfing the web in livecd mode, etc | 00:42 |
| backgen | wols_: oh...well i don't think i can dcc | 00:42 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: sluggish wasn't really the word i'd choose... more like... maybe it was just going so fast that it broke einsteins theory of relativity and looked like it was going backwards? | 00:42 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: Did that help you? | 00:42 |
| aladdinsane | soundray: hmm ok, maybe i was wrong, but i thought so cause i tried it and it didnt work, it still wasnt writing to it immidiately | 00:42 |
| loucas | i am wondering if someone is willing to help me several threads at ubuntuforums and nobody gives me an asnswer | 00:43 |
| wols_ | backgen: see PM | 00:43 |
| wols_ | !ask | loucas | 00:43 |
| ubotu | loucas: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 00:43 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: yeah, that too. it was very slow. took a long time to boot the live cd. | 00:43 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: sorry I don't really understand that--was it problematic in livecd mode? not install mode sequence | 00:43 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: probably 20 minutes to get to the gnome desktop | 00:43 |
| loucas | i have an intel965 card and i dont have any sound and i cannot enable the detskop effects | 00:43 |
| loucas | any link to solve this problem? | 00:44 |
| soundray | TBotNik: excellent. Use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to make changes to your xorg.conf. Accept all the defaults, except in the monitor section. There you select "Advanced", set 1280x1024 as the resolution, 30-80 for your hsync and 55-75 for your vrefresh range. | 00:44 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: well I am asking about something else entirely; not the boot, nor the install--but the actual use in livecd mode--I am trying to help out here so could you answer that question | 00:44 |
| asymptonic | Anyone else not able to boot after today's kernel upgrade? Gutsy/AMD64/Root on LVM | 00:44 |
| backgen | wols_: ok it's been sent | 00:44 |
| slugone | anyone know a site where they teach you how to put ubuntu onto a usb thumb stick to install ubuntu....my last blank cd failed | 00:44 |
| asymptonic | I've tried all I know how | 00:44 |
| asymptonic | including downgrading | 00:44 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: with the live cd, from the time i turned on the computer until i got to the desktop was about 20 minutes. then, it took about 5-10 minutes to click the wifi settings and put in my key. then it took about 10 minutes to open firefox. | 00:44 |
| MasterShrek | asymptonic: tried booting an older kernel? | 00:45 |
| ianm_ | b1n0ry: could your cd drive be dying? | 00:45 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: then it would take about 30 secs to 1 min to start loading a website | 00:45 |
| soundray | !install > slugone, this page lists various options for installing to USB (private message) | 00:45 |
| b1n0ry | ianm_: don't think so, in my windows environment everything works great | 00:45 |
| b1n0ry | burning, reading, etc. | 00:45 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: No way. Everytime I use the dpkg-reconfig I start over at ground zero and I'm tired of that peice of #$%^&*(&^$%#@$%%^&&^ Crap. | 00:45 |
| asymptonic | MasterShrek: Lilo didn't have one. I tried apt-get installing an old one (from rescue CD), but it doesn't work either | 00:45 |
| wols_ | backgen: ok, all 3 partition are there | 00:46 |
| asymptonic | I get what looks like loading an initrd with no basic files in it | 00:46 |
| codo | wols_: there is no documentation on step step | 00:46 |
| asymptonic | depmod: not found, etc | 00:46 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: don't let your frustration spoil your good manners. | 00:46 |
| MasterShrek | asymptonic: what sorts of problems are you having? and why are you using lilo and not grub? | 00:46 |
| wols_ | backgen: no in cfdisk delete the sda3 partition. recreate it with type Linux | 00:46 |
| codo | i did that bcm driver installation | 00:46 |
| slugone | !install | 00:46 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 00:46 |
| codo | it throws error saying 404 not found | 00:46 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: sounds like a hardware issue, or a bad cd media/bad burn or a seriously under-powered computer. you may want to try a lighter distro like xubuntu, burn a new cd, or check out the hardware probs with your computer | 00:46 |
| wols_ | backgen: use cursor up/down to select partition 3 | 00:46 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: I don't want to read verbal faeces in exchange for the help I give you. | 00:46 |
| wols_ | then use cursor left,right to move to delete and press enter | 00:46 |
| asymptonic | The installer installed LILO, not me. | 00:47 |
| asymptonic | Probably because I have root on LVM w/ XFS | 00:47 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: Sorry man, been working on this for over 3 weeks and the stinking autoconfig generator is the primary problem. It can not handle this monitor. That is why I am maually going through this!!!!! | 00:47 |
| loucas | any ideas\ | 00:47 |
| wols_ | after that, create a new one with "New" | 00:47 |
| aladdinsane | how on earth do i get the uuid of my usb drive? | 00:47 |
| asymptonic | I tried installing grub, but from chroot, it said /dev/sda had no corresponding BIOS drive | 00:47 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: definately not underpowered. i guess there could be some other incompatible hardware. i have problems with both the live cd and the alternate cd (different issues, but still issues) both of which pass the integrity check. | 00:47 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: Not dissing you, just that #$% autoconfig package. | 00:47 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: the dpkg-reconfigure procedure isn't as bad if you know that you can accept the presets for most settings. Part of your problem is that you're mucking around with modelines and stuff. | 00:48 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: what laptop, what chipset? | 00:48 |
| === stacey is now known as Xbehave | ||
| wols_ | backgen: noapic and acpi=off boot options | 00:48 |
| wols_ | oops | 00:48 |
| wols_ | backgen: was not for you | 00:48 |
| MasterShrek | asymptonic: what sort of errors are you getting? | 00:48 |
| wols_ | b1n0ry: : noapic and acpi=off boot options | 00:48 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang: it's a toshiba laptop, intel processor | 00:48 |
| bazhang | b1n0ry: listen to wols | 00:48 |
| wols_ | asymptonic: you need to bind mount your proc to inside the chroot | 00:48 |
| backgen | wols_: ok so you want me to change the third partition to linux? | 00:48 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: now that you've definitely found out your monitor's capabilities through ddcprobe, the autoconfig will solve the rest for you. | 00:48 |
| asymptonic | Let me grab the laptop and type some. Things like "depmod: not found", "uspalash-write" | 00:48 |
| wols_ | backgen: yes | 00:48 |
| Xbehave | my laptop sound only works with extenal speakers, any ideas how i go about fixing this? | 00:48 |
| wols_ | backgen: delete partition 3 and recreate it | 00:49 |
| b1n0ry | bazhang and wols_: let me give that a shot | 00:49 |
| Xbehave | so far all i 'think i' know is that my sound card is > ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio | 00:49 |
| Sajes | Anyone know of a decent freeware racing game in the repos? :) | 00:49 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: NO NO, we add the modeline afterward, manually so I can actaully see a screen. The blinking auto config, leaves me with blank and useless screens also, so it doesn't help anything, just makes it worse. | 00:49 |
| backgen | wols_: ok done, it is now a Linux partition | 00:49 |
| b1n0ry | i'll give this a shot, thanks | 00:49 |
| soundray | b1n0ry: there's a factoid listing further boot options you might try -- pm | 00:49 |

| b1n0ry | ty | 00:50 |
| asymptonic | .../sbin/usplash_write: not found | 00:50 |
| b1n0ry | i saved that info in case i have to come back to the win env. | 00:50 |
| wols_ | backgen: now "write" it | 00:50 |
| b1n0ry | thanks, guys! | 00:50 |
| asymptonic | each about a dozen times | 00:50 |
| MasterShrek | hmm | 00:50 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: but you have never done the autoconfig knowing the real capabilities of your monitor. | 00:50 |
| wols_ | backgen: oops. did you make a swap partition? | 00:50 |
| b1n0ry | in about 30-60 minutes, i'll let you know how it went... didn't go... | 00:50 |
| asymptonic | first errant linie is /init: /init: 138 depmod: not found | 00:50 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: If that were true, then I would be running, but I've run that blinking program over 20 times with the same crap ass results, sorry you got me started, so now on my soap box. | 00:50 |
| asymptonic | s/linie/line | 00:50 |
| backgen | wols_: no!!! | 00:51 |
| Vlet | I can't get any extended tty vga modes to work with my ati rage xl card... anyone know what might help? | 00:51 |
| wols_ | backgen: if not, delete it again and make one :) | 00:51 |
| bazhang | b1nory well be waiting | 00:51 |
| rocky | does any on know of a program to make photo shows | 00:51 |
| backgen | wols_: hmpf...ok how do i do that? | 00:51 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: if, based on your input, the autoconfig overestimated your monitor capabilities all the time. No wonder it couldn't sync | 00:51 |
| wols_ | backgen: first you create a extended partition | 00:51 |
| soundray | TBotNik_u: now if I get one more crap from you, the conversation is over. | 00:51 |
| MasterShrek | not really sure asymptonic, im guessing it may have something to do with your root drive not being mounted correctly, either by an incorrect lilo entry, or unavaialbe kernel modules, either by a bad or missing initrd or a missing package for kernel modules | 00:52 |
| backgen | wols_: ok...well how do i do that? when i go into New it just gives me the option between Primary and Logical | 00:52 |
| wols_ | make one primary that takes leaves 1,1GB of free space | 00:52 |
| wols_ | that will be your ext3 linux partition | 00:53 |
| === ChromeTiger_away is now known as ChromeTiger | ||
| wols_ | then make a 1,1GB logical partition for swap | 00:53 |
| Eagleray | backgen, wols_: lunch obtained, I'm back | 00:53 |
| Eagleray | backgen, wols_: things going well? | 00:53 |
| TBotNik_u | soundray: K, your right cause all these other command bomb and the "config" from the "low res" option screen also locks the box. K, can run it with minimum impact, cause got all the files backed up, due to hammering on this so many times. | 00:53 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: we saved the MBR to an external hdd and deleted the fat one and now create / and swap | 00:53 |
| backgen | wols_: should i add the partition at the beginning of the free space or at the end? | 00:54 |
| aladdinsane | i did a sudo vol_id /dev/sde1 on my usb drive and got: ID_FS_UUID=BABE-BABE is that the drives uuid?? looks strange.. | 00:54 |
| wols_ | end | 00:54 |
| asymptonic | hmm, guess release QA ain't what it used to be | 00:54 |
| wols_ | oops. beginngi is better for / I guess | 00:54 |
| Eagleray | wols_: wonderful - any idea why fdisk wouldn't talk to the disk? | 00:54 |
| ConstyXIV | anyone using a better UI font than the default? | 00:54 |
| wols_ | make the ext3 at the beginning | 00:54 |
| Eagleray | wols_: or did you recreate the aprtition tabel from scratch? | 00:54 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: no. and there is no reason it wouldn't, but I will advocate a smartmontools long test | 00:54 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: no recreation, but I looked at his backup which seems a vlid table | 00:55 |
| soundray | asymptonic: I don't think release QA is carried out on LVM systems | 00:55 |
| wols_ | reminds me. I'm a dumbass | 00:55 |
| backgen | wols_: alright so i now have...a primary Linux partition at the beginning of the free space...and 1.1GB of free space...how do i make the swap? | 00:55 |
| wols_ | backgen: you need to make both partitions logical ones. only room for 4 partitions | 00:55 |
| bazhang | wols_: not so, not in any way | 00:55 |
| asymptonic | sucks for me then, there goes my laptop | 00:55 |
| * soundray disagrees wildly with wols_'s self assessment | 00:55 | |
| wols_ | bazhang: trust me I know myself better than you do | 00:55 |
| backgen | wols_: oh shoot...so i should delete the primary one? | 00:56 |
| wols_ | backgen: delete the ext3 one. again. sorry | 00:56 |
| bazhang | wols_: I've seen you at work here | 00:56 |
| rocky | Who knows how to create picture shows like the ones from nero photo show. | 00:56 |
| backgen | wols_: ok so i now have one logical linux partition and 1.1GB of free space...how do i make the logical swap? | 00:56 |
| bazhang | slideshows? rocky | 00:56 |
| wols_ | backgen: all partitions you create need to be logical ones | 00:56 |
| rocky | yeah slideshow and burn them ona cd | 00:57 |
| wols_ | by making another logical partition this time of type 82 (linux swap) | 00:57 |
| bazhang | rocky: to play where | 00:57 |
| Eagleray | backgen: you need to create one big extended partition, and both / and swap exist as logical partitions within this | 00:57 |
| backgen | wols_: alright it's all done now | 00:57 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: in cfdisk you create "Logical" partitions with new | 00:58 |

| backgen | Eagleray: wols_: ahhha confusing messages from the both of you! | 00:58 |
| OldSpice | is this a good idea anyone? i'm a new to the whole linux thing. i have a 160gb hd. 90gb being occupied by windows. i'm going to let ubuntu have 21gb including swap. i'm not making a /home, but instead having another ntfs partition where both ubuntu and windows can access it. an alright idea? | 00:58 |
| fabio | what i need to do??? | 00:58 |
| fabio | my virtualbox not detect dvd. | 00:58 |
| df00z | Hm, do any automatic deb package creators exist? Like, theoretically, could a program monitor the make process, and check /proc/pid/fd, see what files it needs, and resolve the packages that provide them | 00:58 |
| Eagleray | wols_: aaah - interesting. I haven't used cfdisk before, I normally use fdisk | 00:58 |
| wols_ | backgen: write out the partition table, quit cfdisk and start your install | 00:58 |
| wols_ | should work now, should being the keyboard | 00:58 |
| asymptonic | what about this one: (on grub-install /dev/sda) /dev/mapper/slvm-root does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. | 00:58 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: cfdisk is "nicer" | 00:58 |
| Eagleray | wols_: *installs cfdisk to have a play* | 00:59 |
| LjL | jatt: isn't there an init script, i.e. can you type « sudo invoke-rc.d trackerd stop » (or tracker stop, or similar - i'm on Kubuntu, can't check)? that would be better than killing | 00:59 |
| fabio | my virtualbox not detect dvd. | 00:59 |
| wols_ | asymptonic: I told you before. did you bind mount your /proc inside the chroot? | 00:59 |
| asymptonic | yes | 00:59 |
| LjL | !repeat | fabio | 00:59 |
| ubotu | fabio: 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 | 00:59 |
| soundray | OldSpice: it's okay, but I suggest you let /home be part of the root partition so your user config ends up in an ext3 system instead of an ntfs | 00:59 |
| backgen | wols_: ok heres the paste bin of what i have now http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48959/ | 00:59 |
| asymptonic | oh, wait | 00:59 |
| asymptonic | bind mount? | 00:59 |
| wols_ | asymptonic: recreate your device.map file. but right now I dunno how | 00:59 |
| wols_ | but docs should tell you | 01:00 |
| fabio | my virtualbox not detect dvd. how to fix it? | 01:00 |
| clever | asymptonic: mount --bind /proc /path/to/chroot/proc | 01:00 |
| OldSpice | soundray: well just for the user config, do you think i can make a 1gb home for it? although all my documents will be in a ntfs drive? | 01:00 |
| soundray | OldSpice: btw, you can share ext3 partitions with Windows if you install ext2fsd | 01:00 |
| asymptonic | let me try that | 01:00 |
| Eagleray | backgen: that looks fine | 01:00 |
| bazhang | fabio: check virtual box settings--its in there | 01:00 |
| wols_ | fabio: considering it's a virtualization software you have to configure it somehow. it won't ever access your peripherals directly | 01:00 |
| aladdinsane | i did a sudo vol_id /dev/sde1 on my usb drive and got: ID_FS_UUID=BABE-BABE is that the drives uuid?? | 01:00 |
| soundray | OldSpice: sure, a 1GB home will do nicely | 01:00 |
| asymptonic | nah, no good | 01:00 |
| wols_ | soundray: use fs-driver.org | 01:00 |
| backgen | wols_: ok done...now you want me to go and try to install Ubuntu onto the partition? | 01:00 |
| wols_ | OldSpice: fs-driver.org | 01:01 |
| fabio | i did the configuration and the passthrug | 01:01 |
| wols_ | backgen: yes. and I wish you best of luck :) | 01:01 |
| soundray | wols_: is that better? | 01:01 |

| fabio | IN OPTIOS IS NOT POSSIBLE | 01:02 |
| backgen | wols_:Eagleray: ok thanks guys....so providing this works....what happens to my NTFS Windows partition? | 01:02 |
| fabio | *OPTIONS | 01:02 |
| soundray | wols_: ext2fsd lets you write, and it's open source | 01:02 |
| Eagleray | backgen: nothing happens to it, it stays | 01:02 |
| wols_ | backgen: nothing. it stays there. you get an etry in your grub to boot windows, that's all | 01:02 |
| bazhang | fabio: we answered that--check the settings in virtual box or go to #vbox | 01:02 |
| wols_ | backgen: if you insist you can mount it with ntfs-3g | 01:02 |
| wols_ | soundray: wasn't last I checked. good to know | 01:02 |
| OldSpice | soundray: wols: thanks you guys! well I'm still a windows person and i want to keep the majority of my system still windows. if i do decide to make a change i'll be sure to have more ext3 than nfts :] | 01:03 |
| billybobo | after an update this morning my usplash stopped working at boot, any way to fix this? | 01:03 |

| lovedeatm | soundray, do you know if there is a command to "refresh" a proccess and services etc | 01:05 |
| bobesponja | hi | 01:05 |
| Eagleray | backgen: your NTFS partition should be left alone completely. Once ubuntu is installed, you should have a GRUB menu entry saying 'Windows' | 01:05 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: #debian :P | 01:05 |
| bobesponja | anyone managed to make the mac remote work on ubuntu? | 01:05 |
| Xbehave | my laptop sound only works with extenal speakers, any ideas how i go about fixing this? | 01:05 |
| soundray | lovedeatm: you mean reload the config files? | 01:05 |
| billybobo | after an update this morning my usplash stopped working at boot, any way to fix this? | 01:06 |
| lovedeatm | yeah for the most part | 01:06 |
| Eagleray | wols_: How depressing.... what if I lied and said I was running feisty? | 01:06 |
| lovedeatm | yeah for the most part soundray | 01:06 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: then sooner or later we'd find out and flame you. always observing !Langauge in here of course :P | 01:06 |
| Eagleray | backgen: choose this entry to boot windows from your NTFS partition | 01:06 |
| theLOCUST | hehello, i was wondering if there was a macbook hello | 01:07 |
| soundray | lovedeatm: some daemons can be made to do this with 'sudo invoke-rc.d daemonname reload' | 01:07 |
| Eagleray | wols_: ah well, then I guess I'd better go join #debian as well and ask there | 01:07 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: happens the same in #debian with ubuntu users, just more often and with swear and flame them a lot more | 01:07 |
| theLOCUST | hello i was wondering if there was a maccbook channel? | 01:07 |
| soundray | lovedeatm: if not, 'restart' always works | 01:07 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: to be honest, better chance of an answer too | 01:07 |
| bazhang | theLOCUST: for dual booting? | 01:07 |
| wols_ | theLOCUST: #apple. unless it's about question of ubuntu on a macbook | 01:07 |
| Eagleray | wols_: Oh? Interesting.... I figured I'd have a better chance here 'cause of the higher traffic | 01:08 |
| theLOCUST | bazhang: no, just in general.. i'm having battery problems | 01:08 |
| theLOCUST | i have gutsy installed on my macbook | 01:08 |
| bazhang | ##apple theLOCUST | 01:08 |
| Eagleray | wols_: and didn't think it would be an issue noting that they are very, very similar systems | 01:08 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: how many ubuntu people do you know who compile their own kernels? and 700 poeple or 1200 doesn't make much difference | 01:08 |
| lovedeatm | soundray thanks it worked | 01:08 |

| theLOCUST | i don't want to dual boot | 01:08 |
| backgen | Eagleray: ok well in my install thing, it gives me 3 options: Guided: resize SCSI1 (0,0,0) partition #2 (sda) and use freed space (and then i have a little slider thing, with 91% 63.3GB and that's roughly 91% of the NTFS partition with windows on it) and then the second option is: Guided: Use Entire Disk...and then Manual | 01:08 |
| Eagleray | wols_: and he's a former gentoo user | 01:08 |
| Eagleray | backgen: use manual | 01:09 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: we don't hold your past against you. too much | 01:09 |

| backgen | Eagleray: now Manual has it's own set of problems | 01:09 |
| theLOCUST | it only shows ac power | 01:09 |
| Eagleray | wols_: only thing is, I would normally consider ubuntu to be a mistake.... | 01:09 |
| wols_ | Eagleray: ubuntu is good for what it's set out to do | 01:10 |
| Eagleray | wols_: agreed | 01:10 |
| bazhang | theLOCUST: if you don't get an answer here, then the ubuntuforums has a whole section--you might want to post something/search there | 01:10 |
| Eagleray | wols_: it's a brilliant system, but just not what I need | 01:10 |
| soundray | theLOCUST: there are installation reports on Apple laptops, listed by model name on tuxmobil.org. See if others have been able to solve that problem. | 01:10 |

| wols_ | it would rarely (except maybe for a notebook) be a distro for me, but say relatives who want a cheap secure system it's great | 01:10 |
| theLOCUST | Eagleray: thanks | 01:10 |
| wols_ | u_angel: kill the process, rename or delete your ~/.mozilla, restart ffox | 01:11 |
| u_angel | wols_: let me try that | 01:11 |
| wols_ | u_angel: best reaneme. if it doesn't fix it you still have your mozilla settings | 01:11 |
| backgen | Eagleray: ok so heres my list of devices: /dev/sda (nothing beside it), /dev/sda1 fat 16 (my Dell utilities), /dev/sda2 NTFS (my missing Windows), /dev/sda 5 (no format though the size indicated that this is the linux one i just made) and finally /dev/sda6 (no format though the size indicates it's the swap i just made)...now when i select the /dev/sda5 and click Next...it says theres no root file | 01:12 |
| ronnie_ | backgen: how about your swap volume@@? | 01:13 |
| u_angel | same thing happening with firefox | 01:13 |
| backgen | ronnie_: swap volume is 1.1GB | 01:13 |
| soundray | backgen: you need to declare a mount point for /dev/sda5 and call it "/" (just the slash equals root) | 01:13 |
| ronnie_ | ....... | 01:13 |
| u_angel | what is "/bin/sh /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin" ? | 01:13 |
| wols_ | ronnie_: sda6 is his swap | 01:13 |
| theLOCUST | I've searched everywhere for a solution to this problem and can't find anything | 01:13 |
| ronnie_ | backgen: dont you thinked that is toooooooo big.... | 01:14 |
| lovedeatm | how do oyu view mtab? | 01:14 |
| ronnie_ | backgen: i just give my swap apace 8MB.... | 01:14 |
| soundray | theLOCUST: tuxmobil.org? | 01:14 |
| astro76 | lovedeatm, type mount | 01:14 |
| ronnie_ | lovedeatm: mount table? | 01:14 |
| theLOCUST | soundray: yeah, there also... i went there ad noticed i've been to that page before | 01:15 |
| backgen | ronnie_: well i followed the directions of wols_, and it's ok i've got quite a bit of space so i'm not worried | 01:15 |

| sander__ | hi folks | 01:19 |
| Torgoton | hola bazhang. | 01:19 |
| sander__ | i need help with vmware-player, the bridge conection don't works here... | 01:19 |
| u_angel | so is it normal to have 2 Firefox-bin running? | 01:19 |
| Javid | Let's all use bot macros instead of answering the dude's question. That's awesome. | 01:19 |
| soundray | puff: if your hardware supports it, try twinview first. | 01:19 |
| bazhang | Javid: heh | 01:20 |
| sander__ | somebody can help-me with vmware-player? | 01:20 |
| Eagleray | backgen: which partition is giving that error? | 01:20 |
| Javid | Well, you tried, but nobody else did | 01:20 |
| backgen | eagleray: sda5 | 01:20 |
| kbrosnan | u_angel: yes | 01:21 |
| Eagleray | backgen: what filesystem is that formatted as? | 01:21 |
| sander__ | who is the name of a interface bridged in linux? this appear in ifconfig ? | 01:21 |
| puff | soundray: Thanks, yeah, it's an nvidia card. | 01:21 |
| sander__ | who is the name of a interface bridged(vmware) in linux? this appear in ifconfig ? | 01:21 |
| kbrosnan | u_angel: firefox is a script which launches firefox-bin | 01:21 |
| backgen | well i did it wos_ and we just formatted it as linux | 01:21 |
| soundray | Javid: if he's not responding to one sensible question, why bother? | 01:21 |
| backgen | Eagleray: and in the installer i made it to ext3 with / like you told me | 01:22 |
| sander__ | some here uses vmware in linux??? | 01:22 |
| lovedeatm | my flash drive won't mount any ideas? it was at one point i don't know why it won't now | 01:22 |
| bazhang | sander__: some do, though more probably use...virtualbox | 01:22 |
| Javid | I use vmware | 01:22 |
| soundray | lovedeatm: see if the settings are correct in System-Preferences-Removable drives | 01:23 |
| sander__ | Javid: hi.. what is your connection type in the vmware? bridged ??? | 01:23 |
| Javid | yep | 01:23 |
| Javid | and it works | 01:23 |
| sander__ | bazhang: hi.. what is your connection type in the vmware? bridged ??? | 01:23 |
| Eagleray | backgen: then as long as you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that you are in fact installing on the ext3 partition, I'd say ignore the warning and continue | 01:24 |
| hdevalence | what does "cannot stat destination "/media/sda2/backup": Input/output error (5)" mean? | 01:24 |
| backgen | Eagleray: alright lets give this a shot | 01:24 |
| bazhang | sander__: I used vmware-server; don't know if that is the same as player, but yeah bridged | 01:24 |
| sander__ | bazhang: what is the version of your kernel? | 01:24 |
| bazhang | sander__: is the other option NAT? It's been awhile since I used it (since it is no longer free) | 01:25 |
| backgen | Eagleray: and here we go! | 01:25 |
| sander__ | bazhang: i need use the bridge mode to test my samba in this pc, but i cant ping in the host os | 01:25 |
| Eagleray | backgen: excellent :D | 01:25 |
| Eagleray | backgen: let me know how you get on | 01:26 |
| backgen | Eagleray: haha you know for a while now i've been thinking that if this doesn't work then screw it all, i'll just make this entire Computer linux | 01:26 |

| cabroni_ | where to learn screensaver programing? | 01:26 |
| soundray | hdevalence: sounds like a bad medium. Can you give some more context? | 01:26 |
| sander__ | bazhang: in the bridged mode you know if appears some of the interface of vmware there? (with ifconfig command) do you know??? | 01:26 |
| luis | hello all | 01:26 |
| saltire | can someone let me know how I can repair the boot record in vista? | 01:26 |
| * soundray pats backgen on the shoulder: good thinking | 01:27 | |
| backgen | Eagleray: ooh, also...once the installation is done...will the GRUB thing to recover Windows take a long time you think? | 01:27 |
| luis | I know this place is for ubuntu related stuff but was hoping if anyone knew the solution to this problem | 01:27 |
| backgen | soundray: :) | 01:27 |
| luis | someone sent me a message with an attachment that seems incomplete | 01:27 |
| bazhang | sander__: again, this was in server, so not that much in the know about player (never used player), but could get an ip address assigned for the vm | 01:27 |
| luis | and along with 8 other messages all with what looks to be code for an image, how in the world does that happen? O_o | 01:27 |
| cabroni_ | how I create ubuntu screensavers?? | 01:27 |
| backgen | Whatever happened to Jack? | 01:28 |
| bazhang | luis: an attachment? treat as suspect | 01:28 |
| luis | anyone know how to convert jpgs to code? if that's possible | 01:28 |
| sander__ | bazhang: yes, i understand.. but server and player can use bridged connections | 01:28 |
| luis | well, I know the person, that's why. | 01:28 |
| saltire | I installed ubuntu and now I can't get into ubuntu or vista | 01:28 |
| soundray | cabroni_: have a look at the author's web page, perhaps starting with the FAQ: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html | 01:28 |
| sander__ | bazhang: i only want to know, if this show some info about the vmware interface in the ifconfig output | 01:29 |
| bazhang | saltire: which installed first? | 01:29 |
| mneptok | saltire: the folks in ##windows know how to restore a Microsoft MBR | 01:29 |
| saltire | vista | 01:29 |
| iasymptonc | Finally found that the initrds being built were incorrect for some reason (not sure why still). Copying from another machine got me booting. Now a second question. How do I switch to a properly debianized grub configuration? Is there a package I'm missing? | 01:29 |
| Eagleray | backgen: the grub think takes exactly zero seconds, and no idea where Jack went | 01:29 |
| cabroni_ | thanks | 01:29 |
| luis | bazhang, I think the person just f'd up in sending the attachment, I know the person and they used MIME coding, which makes me go "wtf?" | 01:29 |
| mneptok | luis: MIME encoding is exactly the correct thing to use in e-mail | 01:30 |
| backgen | Eagleray: fantastic! cuz i have an exam tomorrow and i havn't studied for it at all since i've been fiddling around with Ubuntu for the past few days | 01:30 |
| bazhang | luis: ah mime--that would need to be decompressed to get a photo | 01:30 |
| soundray | saltire: it's probably better to try and complete the Ubuntu bootloader installation. Follow the "RecoveringUbuntu..." link: | 01:30 |
| soundray | !grub | saltire | 01:30 |
| ubotu | saltire: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 01:30 |
| luis | so, is there anyway to retrieve the photo from all this code? | 01:30 |
| luis | like maybe save the code as a jpg, if that's possible. | 01:31 |
| mneptok | luis: i wouldn't | 01:31 |
| mneptok | luis: tell them to put it on the web somewhere | 01:31 |
| sander__ | somebody here that use vmware got to work a bridged connection in 2.6 kernels ? | 01:31 |
| mneptok | luis: decoding and executing random, broken e-mail attachments is pretty risky. | 01:31 |
| albert23 | sander__: you will not see the vmware guest eth interface on you host system | 01:31 |
| luis | I will, because she messed up in sending me this, lol. | 01:31 |
| === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFK | ||
| luis | mneptok, it's not that random, because I know the person | 01:32 |
| Eagleray | backgen: ouch! Exam with no revision = pain on the day the marks are released | 01:32 |
| luis | lol | 01:32 |
| bazhang | luis: it's been awhile since I have seen that, and again be careful of that, but there are decoders for mime you can get--try a local search engine and use term mime jpg and you will get a bunch of results; alternately just tell your friend to attach the jpg file--a lot easier imo | 01:32 |
| sander__ | albert23: ok... but here, i cant ping in the host system | 01:32 |
| mneptok | luis: sure it's random | 01:32 |
| julian_ | i cant get the visual effects to work. i installed the ati driver from their webpage and everything is fine. i cant start end edit the setting with the catalyst control center. but when i try to set the visual effects to "extras" it says: "could not enable effects".. | 01:33 |
| mneptok | luis: how do you think e-mail vectored malware finds new victims? | 01:33 |
| SpookyET | Hi | 01:33 |
| luis | thanks bazhang | 01:33 |
| albert23 | sander__: did you give the guest an IP address in the same subnet as the host system is using? | 01:33 |
| luis | true true. | 01:33 |
| sander__ | albert23: i configured the virtual machine to use 192.168.1.20, and my eth0 from my host system have 192.168.1.10... and i cant ping | 01:33 |
| bazhang | luis listen to mneptok | 01:33 |
| luis | I will, thanks for the helps anyways. | 01:33 |
| julian_ | do i need xserver-xgl? but when i install it, and reboot the catalyst control center doesnt work anymore | 01:33 |
| luis | Danke schoen! | 01:33 |
| cabroni_ | exist a bass guitar program that create music? | 01:33 |
| julian_ | anyone knows what to do? | 01:33 |
| SpookyET | I've been getting a lot of system freezes today. Firefox, Rhythmbox., mostly firefox. System Monitor says that it's uninterruptable. When it freezes, everything freezes. Any ideas? | 01:33 |
| bazhang | no problem luis | 01:34 |
| soundray | SpookyET: run memtest86 overnight to see if your RAM is faulty | 01:34 |
| albert23 | sander__: you tried ping both from host to guest and from guest to host? Some operating system will simply not reply to ping. | 01:34 |
| cyrano | anyone knows when flash will work again? | 01:34 |
| sander__ | albert23: when i type ifconfig in the terminal, only the interfaces that appear are: eth0 and lo... its correct? | 01:34 |
| bazhang | julian_: what is the 'catalyst control center'? not sure what you mean | 01:34 |
| bazhang | cyrano: shortly, most likely | 01:34 |
| robdig | SpookyET: checkout dmesg, see if anything is happening there | 01:35 |
| Phusion | sander__, yeah, thats your ethernet and loopback devices | 01:35 |
| julian_ | its the settings manager shipped with the ati driver | 01:35 |
| sander__ | albert23: wait... i will try here, thanks.. i back | 01:35 |
| cyrano | bazhang: been some time know... | 01:35 |
| bazhang | cyrano: two days? | 01:35 |
| cyrano | so it would be welcome | 01:35 |
| albert23 | sander__: yes, just eth0 and lo should be ok | 01:35 |

| SuperQ | cleaton: oh | 01:41 |
| albert23 | sander__: on the host system, does lsmod | grep vmnet show you the vmnet module? | 01:41 |
| backgen | Eagleray: ok, installation is done...do you want me to reboot into Ubuntu without the live CD? | 01:41 |
| SuperQ | cleaton: no, it won't work with -R | 01:41 |
| julian_ | the other reason is the ati driver is newer than the repo version | 01:41 |
| Eagleray | backgen: yep - brb | 01:41 |
| SuperQ | cleaton: the reason is that bash expans "*.foo" before it gets sent to the command | 01:41 |

| humblerodent | cleaton: -R is just for recursive deletion, like tree deletion with directory contents | 01:43 |
| humblerodent | just for deleting files you shouldn't need that, cleaton | 01:43 |
| SuperQ | cleaton: find /path -name "*.foo" -print0 | xargs -0 rm -v | 01:43 |
| PlexQ | recursive is -r | 01:43 |
| albert23 | sander__: Can you use the network in the guest system? i.e. can you surf the Internet from the guest? | 01:43 |
| SuperQ | cleaton: that will handle long lists of files and files with odd names (spaces in them) | 01:43 |
| sander__ | albert23: i have this problem for a much time, and dont find anythink about in the google :( | 01:43 |
| sander__ | albert23: no... nothing that use connection through the inteface bridge works | 01:44 |

| thor | Bllz are you sure your card supports monitor mode...not all do | 02:01 |
| livingdaylight | what is a suitable plugin for audio/x-wav? Firefox says it couldn't find one? | 02:01 |
| Bllz | thor: it supports madwifi-ng, so I'm assuming yes? Might it still not support it? | 02:01 |
| backgen | Eagleray: hey! i didn't see your name in the list of people in the room, so i thought you were still gone | 02:01 |
| yigal | jjf: I'm not sure as grub uses single '#'s for boot options | 02:01 |
| backgen | Eagleray: thank you so much for everything!! | 02:01 |
| kbrosnan | livingdaylight: totem or mplayer should have one | 02:02 |

| Eagleray | backgen: nope, I've been lurking here all along ;-) | 02:02 |
| Eagleray | backgen: no worries | 02:02 |
| sadaiyappan | Hi. | 02:02 |
| thor | Bllz might not...not all cards that use a particular module will support all features of that module | 02:02 |
| Pelo | sean13, go in eh forum and do a search for opengl ati | 02:02 |
| jjf | yigal, I was just asking because there are comments in menu.lst that are prefix with just 1 '#' | 02:02 |
| Bllz | thor. okay i'll google it. Is there a way to get the card's make/model from a terminal command? | 02:02 |
| Eagleray | backgen: wols_ is around somewhere too, although he's in #debian as well | 02:02 |
| livingdaylight | kbrosnan, hrmm | 02:02 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | what's the correct command: modprobe or insmod? (kernel 2.6) | 02:03 |
| thor | Bllz not sure...if it is usb lsusb might work, pcmcia might show up in lspci...worth a try | 02:03 |
| yigal | jjf: yes, those are the options in effect, with only 1 # | 02:04 |
| kbrosnan | livingdaylight: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libs/gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 i think | 02:04 |
| livingdaylight | kbrosnan, thanks amigo | 02:04 |
| yigal | jjf: test it :), turn vga=791 or what ever it is to vga=795 or something and then issue $sudo update-grub | 02:04 |
| jjf | I'll go and try it. Thanks! | 02:05 |
| Eagleray | rafaelsoaresbr: you can use either | 02:05 |
| wesw02 | how can I ssh into my desktop and launch a gui app on my desktop computer? | 02:05 |
| yigal | jjf: edit lines with 1 '#' to add your desired preferences that Won't go away upon install of a new kernel. | 02:05 |
| thor | wesw02 do you have sshd running on your desktop? | 02:06 |
| wesw02 | yes | 02:06 |
| wesw02 | i'm connected via ssh | 02:06 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | Eagleray, thanks, but... | 02:06 |
| Eagleray | rafaelsoaresbr: by default insmod inserts a module file directly, and modprobe loads it from the /lib/modules/<kernelversion/ tree | 02:06 |
| Eagleray | rafaelsoaresbr: but what? | 02:06 |
| jjf | yigal, Out of curiosity, how do comments that start with 1 '#' not "mess up" grub? | 02:06 |
| thor | wesw02 are you using vnc or some such remote access...or do you want to open a window on your computer from the desktop? | 02:06 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | Eagleray, insmod needs ".../uname-r/...", modprobe not? | 02:07 |
| clever | insmod needs a full path | 02:07 |
| wesw02 | no, I'm connect to my desktop via ssh, through my ssh terminal I want to launch a gui app on my desktop | 02:07 |
| clever | modprobe doesnt need a path or the .ko | 02:07 |
| yigal | jjf: the preferences are set, by default, to be reasonably "good", but altering them you end up with what you want - does that answer the question? | 02:07 |
| thor | wesw02 if you want to just run an app in a window, you need to ssh with the command 'ssh -X <ip address>' | 02:07 |
| Eagleray | correct, if you are inserting modules from /lib/modules/<kernel>/ then modprobe is easier | 02:07 |
| clever | modprobe will also load other modules it may need | 02:07 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | clever,Eagleray, thanks, | 02:07 |
| Eagleray | rafaelsoaresbr: for modprobe you don't give the path, just the module name | 02:07 |
| wesw02 | I want to launch a gui app in the x session running on the desktop | 02:08 |
| Pelo | wesw02, try issuing the command with export DISPLAY=:0 && command ... | 02:08 |
| thor | wesw02 you want it to appear on the desktop monitor? | 02:08 |
| jjf | yigal, I'l still confused. But, that's ok. You've pointed me in the right direction, so I'll play around with it. Thanks again | 02:08 |
| wesw02 | thor, yes | 02:08 |
| thor | wesw02 then you can't do it via ssh...you need a desktop sharing package | 02:08 |
| clever | Pelo: 'DISPLAY=:0.0 cmd' also works and wont affect further commands | 02:08 |
| thor | wesw02 I think nxclient and server will do that...and vnc if I remember correctly | 02:09 |
| wesw02 | thor, this worked: export DISPLAY=:0 && firefox | 02:09 |
| thor | wesw02 hmmm...ok....never tried anything like that. I always wanted the app to show up on my laptop | 02:09 |

| crdlb | Cygnet: intel because they have open source drivers that you don't have to think about (they ship with ubuntu) | 02:42 |

| ASTX813 | Is it possible to 'transfer' a running process from one X server/session to another? I did ssh -Y to another box and started an app, and I'd like to transfer it to my login that's running at the console now that I'm done with it (I don't wan't it to stop when I disconnect) | 02:51 |
| nickrud | franky_the_pierr, and X doesn't stop ? | 02:51 |
| bazhang | Ose: I believe they query the freedb for the info; right click or in the menus should set you right--I had nearly the same thing happen | 02:51 |

| ASTX813 | bazhang, yeah, i guess like that. But with a process running in an X session. | 02:52 |
| nickrud | franky_the_pierr, do you see those errors cycling when you just ctl-alt-f1 while in X (clt-alt-f7 will get you back to X) | 02:53 |
| tofaffy | bazhang, how do I change the usplash and iirc? | 02:53 |

| franky_the_pierr | nickrud: what does ctrl+alt+f1 does? | 02:56 |
| nickrud | franky_the_pierr, what you did when you hit ctl-alt-f1 is you switched to the console, and errors that are high enough get echoed to the console so the operators see them immediately | 02:56 |

| ubotu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 03:12 |

| Geekomancer1 | erm... http://mozilla.pastebin.com/m56467523 that's my xorg... I missed a slash... <.< | 03:12 |
| jerbul | crush samba allows linux to communicate with ms machines over a network. wine emulates ms programs | 03:12 |

| zach382 | RomeReactor: so you don't know of any fix for it. By the way hit alt+f9 and use the arrow keys for some reason that works. | 03:32 |
| hamadooo | i want a program just like kaza in windows or ares | 03:32 |
| RomeReactor | zach382: open CCSM, go to "Window Management->Move Window" and uncheck "constrain y" | 03:32 |

| jerbul | ericvw http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ad17kma8rNM it uses 6.1 but ull get the idea | 03:32 |

| Brennydoogles | I am looking for help with video editing | 03:34 |
| jerbul | 11th | 03:34 |
| soldats | you can use wine to run winblows programs | 03:34 |
| corruptionoflulz | Eagleray: kazaa is not used strictly for piracy, it's a piece of software, just like torrents aren't just for piracy | 03:34 |
| Eagleray | hamadooo: fret = worry, be concerned etc | 03:34 |
| hamadooo | corruptionoflulz that's right | 03:34 |
| soldats | lol | 03:34 |
| hamadooo | ok | 03:34 |
| soldats | hamadooo, #winehq | 03:34 |
| soldats | go to it | 03:34 |
| hamadooo | ok | 03:35 |
| hamadooo | for what his channel | 03:35 |
| Eagleray | corruptionoflulz: true, but only up to a point. Telol me the last time you saw kazaa used for anything legal, as opposed to torrents which have tons of opensource tracklers | 03:35 |
| kanuha | need help, installed gnome splash manager and it works, but the color of the screen comes up with the default brown/orange. How do I change colors? | 03:35 |
| Eagleray | hamadooo: what do you actually want to do with ares/kazaa etc? | 03:35 |
| hamadooo | downloading music and programs | 03:35 |
| Brennydoogles | Need help with video editing, if interested please join #help-brenny | 03:35 |
| hamadooo | fun clubs | 03:35 |
| corruptionoflulz | Eagleray: it's still just a piece of software, no point in discriminating against it, also, what if he felt like dl'ing songs he already owns just because it's easier?, anyways, let's just leave it at that since this isn't ubuntu-offtopic | 03:35 |
| hamadooo | clips | 03:35 |
| soldats | hamadooo, its not very useful for linux programs | 03:36 |
| Hammy_ | Hey im trying to get my sources list. i am trying to edit it to install beryl, currently when i enter the [sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list] command it doesnt let me edit it...does anyone know what im doing wronge? | 03:36 |
| hamadooo | what's that soldats | 03:36 |
| Eagleray | corruptionoflulz: fair point, although I thought that was also illegal... | 03:36 |
| sunogbaga | kanuha: system->administration->login window? | 03:36 |
| teddy233 | i'm back | 03:37 |
| soldats | hamadooo, what iu mean is that you can run kazaa in wine on ubuntu or any other win program | 03:37 |
| hamadooo | i though ubuntu is a free source and you telling me now i can't use some programs .... in windows i can use them | 03:37 |
| Brennydoogles | Hammy_: replace vi with gedit if you are on normal ubuntu | 03:37 |
| nickrud | Hammy_, try using nano instead of vi | 03:37 |
| Hammy_ | can anyone help me with my problem? | 03:37 |
| jerbul | hahahaha | 03:37 |
| techqbert | is there any linux app for downloading .flv files to disk? I need one that can download .flv and the stream from nbc10.com | 03:37 |
| Hammy_ | okay thanks...wait which to use gedit or nano? | 03:37 |
| mikebot | How can I extract from a DVD just an avi that is like 600 MB? | 03:37 |
| MasterShrek | Hammy_: are you using 7.10? | 03:37 |
| hamadooo | soldats is there any similar program in ubuntu like kaza | 03:37 |
| nickrud | Brennydoogles, if you recommend gedit for editing system files (perfectly ok) be sure to mention they should use gksudo | 03:37 |
| Hammy_ | yea | 03:37 |
| MasterShrek | mikebot: use dvdrip | 03:38 |
| ademan | anyone know what the "best" way to reliably transfer files between a windows and linux machine would be? i'd love to use rsync but I can't find a source for a win32 rsync that i trust, although i could give a couple a try i suppose | 03:38 |
| Brennydoogles | nickrud: That is true, thanks | 03:38 |
| soldats | hamadooo, i dont believe so | 03:38 |
| corruptionoflulz | Eagleray: check PM | 03:38 |
| Hammy_ | hamadooo: i heard you can run Limewire on Linux | 03:38 |
| MasterShrek | Hammy_: beryl is old now, its compiz fusion now and it is installed by default | 03:38 |
| teddy233 | anyone know how to setup dhcp3 to give out range of ips based on where the request came from? | 03:38 |
| kanuha | sunogbaga, tried it, doesn't seem to effect the gnome splash background | 03:38 |
| jerbul | hamadooo u can download limewire, frostwire, gtk gnutella. all will work in linux. | 03:38 |
| hamadooo | reading all the time that linux and ubuntu is a open source .... and now you telling me that i can't download a program cuz it's illegal | 03:38 |
| Eagleray | corruptionoflulz: are you a registered user? I haven't received any PMs from you... | 03:38 |
| Hammy_ | kanuha: i know...does it matter? | 03:38 |
| corruptionoflulz | ademan: on a home network? i use samba | 03:38 |
| nickrud | hamadooo, open source <> illegal | 03:38 |
| mikebot | I can't do it with k9copy or k3b? | 03:38 |
| zach382 | RomeReactor: thanks that worked. | 03:38 |
| MasterShrek | mikebot: i dont think so | 03:39 |
| ademan | corruptionoflulz: normally I would, but samba has corrupted files before for me, so i don't trust it much :-/ | 03:39 |
| robdig | !equivalents | hamadooo | 03:39 |
| ubotu | hamadooo: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant | 03:39 |
| corruptionoflulz | Eagleray: yeah, i am a registered user | 03:39 |
| hamadooo | jerbul .. with these programs can i do what i do with kazza and ares | 03:39 |
| mikebot | MasterShrek: OK, thanks. | 03:39 |
| corruptionoflulz | ademan: then i suppose the easiest and safest would probably be FTP | 03:39 |
| mikebot | MasterShrek: DVDrip? | 03:39 |
| MasterShrek | mikebot: yes, i dont know if its in the repos or not | 03:39 |
| MasterShrek | !info dvdrip | 03:39 |
| ubotu | dvdrip: perl front end for transcode. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.98.6-0.0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 1086 kB, installed size 2580 kB | 03:39 |
| Brennydoogles | if anyone would like to help me with a video editing issue, please join #help-brenny | 03:39 |
| jerbul | hamadooo yes, they use the same network as kazaa they just have different interfaces | 03:39 |
| kanuha | Hammy_, well I want the background color during the gnome splash screen to be black, right now it is the default brown/orange | 03:40 |
| MasterShrek | yep, in multiverse mikebot you need to enable extra repositories, system > admin > software sources | 03:40 |
| Hammy_ | Brennydoogles:Thanks, it worked | 03:40 |
| sunogbaga | hamadooo: if you consider java based apps.. azureus for torrents | 03:40 |
| hamadooo | jerbul ok where can i find them | 03:40 |
| Brennydoogles | np Hammy_ | 03:40 |
| nickrud | hamadooo, in fact, free software advocates are usually the last to use pirated software, they want the free licenses to be respected as well | 03:40 |
| Hammy_ | nickrud:Thanks also nick | 03:40 |
| Eagleray | corruptionoflulz: looks like PMs aren't working for whatever reason, join #pmcoreag | 03:40 |
| brophat | Is there a way to control the size of windows and fonts without turning up the resolution? | 03:40 |
| MasterShrek | Eagleray: both users need to be registered to pm on freenode | 03:40 |
| hamadooo | nickrud but if windows users can use them why we can't | 03:40 |
| Vad2 | How can I kill a process called "gdb"? It's been hogging my laptop for the last half hour, and I cant get rid of it. Each time I try to use "kill" on it, it changes it's ID. It is extermely aggravating. | 03:41 |
| hamadooo | sunogbaga i didn't mean torrent clients .. thanx | 03:41 |
| Eagleray | MasterShrek: we are both registered | 03:41 |
| godzirra | Sigh... New freaking kernel just put out just broke my sound again. Anyone have a snd-hda-intel howto? | 03:41 |
| nickrud | hamadooo, you're missing the point: there's frostwire and gtk-gnutella which use the same network as kazaa , it's up to you to respect licenses | 03:41 |
| jerbul | gdb is a source level debugger | 03:41 |
| nickrud | !hdaintel | godzirra | 03:42 |

| Dingda | Anyone know of an editor that'll recognize mIRC's INI-files? They're _not_ pure plaintext (each line has to begin with a "n=linenumber" string), so editing them with a normal editor is very, very tedious. | 04:13 |
| danc3 | NeT_DeMoN: no, not easy, but possible | 04:13 |
| NeT_DeMoN | danc3: i can get it to come back on by sending my computer into the "hibernate" mode | 04:13 |
| bazhang | NeT_DeMoN: just ignore him | 04:13 |
| danc3 | NeT_DeMoN: you might try removing the panel, and reseating the connectors, probably loosened where they pass through the "hinges" | 04:13 |
| NeT_DeMoN | bazhang: alright | 04:13 |

| Hammy | i just restarted ubuntu for the first time in about 5 months, and when i restarted ubuntu to load Windows Vista...Vista wasn't on the Boot list P.S im dualbooting Vista and Ubuuntu 7.10 | 04:16 |
| tumbleweed__ | I found that to be fairly racist, Pici | 04:16 |
| Hammy | i need to get my Vista back what on earth happened? | 04:16 |
| NeT_DeMoN | but can anyone help with my monitor, like is there a command i can completely take off the power saving mode? | 04:16 |
| Pici | tumbleweed__: Excuse me? | 04:16 |
| Eyemean | bazhang, because i only got about 1.3 Gigs worth, not worth wasting Dvd for that, they only music video clips for a friend | 04:16 |
| nickrud | Hammy, I'll post a stanza you need to add to /boot/grub/menu.lst . What partition is your vista on? | 04:16 |
| tumbleweed__ | Pici : did you kick me because I was black? | 04:16 |
| Hammy | what do you mean? | 04:16 |
| danc3 | lol | 04:16 |
| NeT_DeMoN | tumbleweed__: i wouldn't say things like that to him | 04:17 |
| nickrud | Hammy put the output of sudo fdisk -l on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 04:17 |
| Pici | tumbleweed__: Thats enough. | 04:17 |
| bazhang | Eyemean: to play in their vcd player, or on their computer? | 04:17 |
| tumbleweed__ | I have a dream. | 04:17 |
| Eyemean | bazhanf, into dvd player | 04:17 |
| Hammy | well Vista was installed first it come with my desktop...i partitioned a part of my primary disk so i can dual boot Ubuntu | 04:17 |

| nickrud | Hammy, if vista has been booting all this time, it's a real simple fix, relax. type sudo fdisk -l in a terminal , then go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and copy and paste it there. Then tell me the link. | 04:19 |
| bazhang | daedric: the x server? or the internet connection or what? | 04:19 |

| Hammy | nickruf: any ideas? | 04:21 |
| daedric | bazhang, just the eth0 ? | 04:21 |
| bazhang | offtopic NeT_DeMoN | 04:21 |
| hanasakiRemote | any program that does DoD disk wiping in linux? | 04:21 |
| NeT_DeMoN | i should go to off-topic for these questions shouldn't i? | 04:21 |
| daedric | i could edit the networkig files.... | 04:21 |

| NeT_DeMoN | sorry about flooding the room with my non-ubuntu related questions | 04:22 |
| Hammy | nickrud: any idea's dude? | 04:22 |
| soldats | ZeeO, if so it means it wasnt instaled correctly and FF isnt picking up the install | 04:22 |
| freakin_n00b | have you tried Opera? | 04:22 |

| soldats | it | 04:23 |

| nickrud | Hammy, if you only see ubuntu listed there, add http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48976/ to the very end of /boot/grub/menu.lst ( sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst will let you edit it) | 04:25 |

| nickrud | Xbehave, alsa-utils | 04:28 |
| Hammy | nickrud: can i use gedit instead of nano...its just easier for me to use? | 04:28 |
| nickrud | Hammy, sure gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst . You'll have to run that from a terminal to get permission to save it. | 04:28 |
| Hammy | nickrud: do i add the numbers to or only the words and suff | 04:28 |
| nickrud | Hammy, just copy and paste the whole thing | 04:29 |

| nickrud | Hammy, oh, the numbers won't get highlighted :) | 04:29 |
| Eyemean | bazhang , but how can vlc do that | 04:29 |

| Hammy | nickrud: :-O but when i copied it it highlighted it? | 04:30 |
| nickrud | Hammy, not the line numbers, right? If they did, copy and paste from the box below | 04:30 |
| bazhang | Eyemean: you want me to walk you through it? or can you try and figure it out for yourself? | 04:30 |
| kitofhawaii | anyone know if there's a specific channel for asking people general questions/advice about the CoC? | 04:30 |

| bazhang | kitofhawaii: want to join offtopic? | 04:32 |
| OldSpice | hammy: oh alright, thank you. | 04:32 |

| danc3 | it *is* glxgears | 04:35 |
| nickrud | Hammy, you see how we added what was already there? The # at the beginning of the lines are what's called "commenting out" , so they are not used. You can leave it as is, or remove the section above what we added | 04:35 |

| sutti1 | jrib: one sec | 04:38 |
| nickrud | Hammy, I skipped over all that, you do have a lot of obsolete kernels :) | 04:38 |
| zigui | i can't set the limits of temperature in my ubuntu with lm-Sensors, can any one help me | 04:39 |
| n0ah | after the recent kernel-header update i'm now getting Error 22: cannot load disk (or close to that).. i've looked around and can't figure out how to fix it | 04:39 |

| nickrud | Hammy, you can run system->admin->synaptic , and press the status button lower left. You should see all the obsolete kernels there, and you can delete them | 04:40 |
| kupesoft | n0ah: Live boot Ubuntu and rollback to the old kernel? | 04:40 |
| Arrick | is there an ultravnc "listen" mode for any vnc server that ubuntu supports? | 04:41 |
| n0ah | kupesoft, there's instructions how to roll back on the forums likely right? | 04:41 |

| nickrud | heh. That is the 64 dollar question | 04:46 |
| danc3 | fwaokda: download and use the "alternate" installer disk | 04:47 |
| sutti1 | jrib: that worked, thanks again | 04:47 |
| Arrick | with ubuntu (new updated) which vncserver will allow more than one connection, and allow them all to share the same screen? | 04:47 |
| zigui | what is the question can i now? | 04:47 |
| larson9999 | i don't watch tv. but i got this danged hulu account and can't stop | 04:47 |
| fwaokda | :( no other way around it? where can i find the alternate disk? | 04:47 |
| nickrud | zigui, just ask, there's too many questions to wait :) | 04:47 |
| danc3 | fwaokda: same place you downloaded the other one | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | Arrick: you can run 'vncserver' and have serveral dozen clients all viewing he same screen, thats not the same as sharing the currently running desktop however. | 04:47 |
| fwaokda | someone sent me a link for the first one | 04:47 |
| fwaokda | :o | 04:48 |
| danc3 | fwaokda: you can't find the Ubuntu website? | 04:48 |
| danc3 | wow | 04:48 |
| zigui | i ha ve a problem when i set de limits of lmsensors | 04:48 |
| fwaokda | im new to all this i dont know what im doin :( | 04:48 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 , the alternate works on more hardware. That's why it's being recommended | 04:48 |
| Arrick | dr_willis I just want to be able to do demonstrations of certain security software for my techs, and have them connect in | 04:48 |
| fwaokda | ty nickrud | 04:48 |
| zigui | doens't | 04:48 |
| danc3 | fwaokda: well, time to start figuring out the simple stuff. Hint: google | 04:48 |
| zigui | work | 04:48 |
| zigui | my laptop | 04:48 |
| Arrick | so would that be vncserver that i want? | 04:48 |
| zigui | is a fliyng jet air plain | 04:49 |
| nickrud | zigui, don't know much about lm-sensors, sorry. Ask every few minutes | 04:49 |
| Arrick | heya nickrud long time no see | 04:49 |

| nickrud | hi there Arrick where're ya been? | 04:49 |
| nickrud | raining | 04:49 |
| zigui | ok | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | Arrick: vncserver can do that. but its a flexiable tool. and can be used in many ways. You can spawn a vncserer session, in addation to your current desktop. and have everyone connect to it. | 04:49 |
| zigui | thanks | 04:49 |
| WorkingOnWise | what is the simplest scripting language to use for performing several actions prior to launching an app, and after closing the app. Example - I want to switch to workspace2, switch from compiz-fusion to metacity, then launcch Google Earth and Google SketchUp. When I close eithe app, ask to close the other. If yes, switch from metacity to compiz-fusion, and back to workspace 1. What is the best tool for this script? | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | Arrick: you proberly want to use a very minimal desktop/window manager for that. | 04:49 |
| danc3 | WorkingOnWise: ummmm, a mouse? | 04:50 |
| nickrud | WorkingOnWise, bash or python. | 04:50 |
| Arrick | dr_willis its been a while what would be a decent desk/window manager for it? | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | good luck switht hat script.. :) | 04:50 |
| nickrud | WorkingOnWise, python probably in this case, I think it has good links to wnck | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | Arrick: ive been using jwm lately - because i want a very very very light/simple window manager for my vnc needsd. | 04:51 |
| WorkingOnWise | danc3: haha....so many clicks...I'm a Windows refugee....like I want to work that hard! :) | 04:51 |
| * nickrud has only been nibbled by python, he runs from real programming these days | 04:51 | |
| WorkingOnWise | nickrud: what is wnck? | 04:51 |
| Arrick | ok, thanks for the recommendations dr_willis, i actually installed SUSE 10.3 last week, with the intent of using it, but alas, there is a bug and it wont run the PS2 mouse on the machine I am using. | 04:52 |
| nickrud | WorkingOnWise, its a library that gives you low level control of the window manager, like switching desktops | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | a ps2 mouse bug.. egads.. :) thats old-skool heh heh.. | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | !find workingonwise | 04:52 |
| nickrud | lol | 04:52 |
| Arrick | yeah | 04:52 |
| WorkingOnWise | nickrud: ah, ok. Thanks | 04:52 |

| WorkingOnWise | how can I turn on numlock on boot? not on x start, but early on during boot? I use the numpad lots and it is a constant iritation to type, see nothing, hit numlock and try agin. I want it on always, in all terminals, whether in a gui, terminal, or recovery kernel. | 04:57 |
| Pici | WorkingOnWise: Perhaps check for a BIOS option, I've seen a few computers that have that | 04:57 |

| Tretle | hey... just tried installing ubuntu 7.10 twice and each time I have problems with grub.. can anyone help? | 04:58 |
| WorkingOnWise | Pici: no joy there. I bought this laptop for a great price and got what i paid for! | 04:58 |
| danc3 | Tretle: not without more info | 04:58 |
| bazhang | hi kahrytan | 04:58 |
| MasterShrek | CrossKel: you could take a screenshot of an html document, but to get an html document to be the actual background would take some code modifying | 04:58 |
| WorkingOnWise | kahrytan: mainly because my passwords are all a mix of severan numbers and letters.... | 04:59 |
| zigui | does any one now how i can set the limits in this file and how i can restart the new values /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM$ trip_points | 04:59 |
| Filled-Void | Is there a different install for AMD64 processors and one for Intel 64 bit processors or is there just a single 64 bit Install for both? | 04:59 |
| kahrytan | WorkingOnWise➲ then turn it on at login. I know there is a way | 04:59 |
| MasterShrek | Filled-Void: they are the same | 04:59 |
| Tretle | well its booting to a terminal like screen and for input it has grub> | 04:59 |
| Filled-Void | MasterShrek, Ty for confirming :) | 04:59 |
| MasterShrek | np | 05:00 |
| Tretle | it says its grub version 0.97 | 05:00 |
| CrossKel | MasterShrek: Unfortunately, a screenshot won't permit my links and other stuff to be functional... Not sure I'm willing to tinker with the code behind Ubuntu or the kernel yet, either. Thanks for the info. | 05:00 |
| nickrud | WorkingOnWise, http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Hardware/How_to_Get_the_NumLock_Key_to_Stay_On.html has some stuff, you'd need to modify it a bit for ubuntu | 05:00 |
| Tretle | i have a windows xp partition on the pc with ubuntu | 05:00 |
| zigui | does any one now how i can set the limits in this file and how i can restart the new values /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM$ trip_points in 7.10 | 05:00 |
| danc3 | Tretle: type "root (hd0,0)" press Enter, then at the next prompt type "setup (hd0)" | 05:00 |

| danc3 | Tretle: that is assuming your linux partitioin is at the first partition, which it may not be | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | CrossKel: ive seen ways to set windows to be at the bottom layer, borderless, and so forth.. but you lose the desktop menus/icons and so forth. You basicially have a browser thats below everything with no borders. | 05:01 |

| bazhang | Tretle: which is first windows or ubuntu? | 05:03 |
| WorkingOnWise | kahrytan: the only way I have found near logon is at x start, and only in tty 7. When I switch to a differant trminal, the numlock is off. If I come up in the recovery terminal, or x fails to load, no auto numlock... | 05:03 |
| nickrud | PirateHead, usually you would want the stuff in update manager, they fix bad bugs or security stuff. He can use synaptic and the lock version option under packages | 05:03 |
| WorkingOnWise | nickrud: ty. looking at that now | 05:03 |
| kahrytan | WorkingOnWise➲ what way? | 05:04 |
| Tretle | right tried the root (hd0,0) thing and it says filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82 | 05:04 |
| nikitis | Question: How do I make my wireless card start on boot? | 05:04 |
| danc3 | Tretle: try (hd0,1) | 05:04 |
| PirateHead | nickrud: are the package names in Synaptic the exact same as they are in the update managerA? | 05:04 |
| zigui | i think | 05:04 |
| WorkingOnWise | kahrytan: i'd have to loook for it...it is an app in the repos just for turning on numlock at x start | 05:04 |
| keithclark | Hi there. I have PCLinuxOS installed on my laptop and would like to try the Ubuntu 7.10 CD I just received today, but I can't seem to activate the wireless, restricted firmware for my BCM wireless card. | 05:04 |
| zigui | doens't the same | 05:04 |
| nickrud | WorkingOnWise, what they say for rc.local, you'd probably want to put in a file in /etc/init.d/ and link into /etc/rc.S so they work in recovery console, and just add the numlockx command to ~/.gnomerc (you'll have to create the file) | 05:05 |
| nickrud | WorkingOnWise, /etc/rcS.d that is | 05:05 |
| Tretle | right think i found the right partiotion... now it says filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 | 05:05 |
| Byan | does anyone have any idea why grub fails at installing? | 05:05 |
| danc3 | Tretle: now do "setup (hd0)" | 05:05 |
| Tretle | byan... u too? | 05:05 |
| Byan | Tretle: lol, yeah | 05:06 |
| Byan | Tretle: what is your laptop? | 05:06 |

| Byan | zigui: using both the desktop and alternative cd's | 05:06 |
| PirateHead | nickrud: I haven't asked why he doesn't want these particular packages upgraded, so I'll make sure to explain that updates are a good idea in general. | 05:07 |
| Byan | zigui: the alternative cd says failed at install grub | 05:07 |
| Tretle | didnt have any problems before which makes me wonder if ubuntu downloads and installs updates upon installation or if the new bios from gigabyte doesnt like ubuntu at all | 05:07 |
| danc3 | Tretle: did you do the second command? | 05:07 |
| zigui | you are trying to innstall | 05:07 |

| zigui | or in the partition you are instaling ubuntu? | 05:08 |
| danc3 | Tretle: no | 05:08 |
| danc3 | setup (hd0) | 05:08 |
| danc3 | that's a ZERO | 05:08 |
| WorkingOnWise | kahrytan: i need it before that. it cant be dependant on x starting or not starting. | 05:08 |

| danc3 | Tretle: well? | 05:09 |
| danc3 | reboot | 05:09 |
| zigui | Byan:you have to instal the grub in the hd(0,0) | 05:09 |

| Tretle | it says succeded | 05:09 |
| danc3 | Tretle: oh, now do "quit" | 05:09 |

| Byan | Tretle: does grub boot? | 05:11 |
| Tretle | before it worked with no problems other than detecting settings for my monitor | 05:11 |
| Byan | these guys aren't installing grub correctly.. | 05:11 |
| Tretle | its like failsafe grub | 05:11 |
| Byan | you need to use grub-install | 05:11 |
| Byan | oh really? | 05:11 |
| Byan | you mean, just a command line? | 05:11 |
| araju | j #pulseaudio | 05:12 |
| Byan | lol araju | 05:12 |
| Byan | stupid ubuntu | 05:12 |
| Tretle | "these guys aren't installing grub correctly" how about the installer didnt install it correctly twice in a row | 05:12 |
| malnilion | Pulse Audio, the way of the future :P | 05:12 |
| WorkingOnWise | nickrud: that link looks like exactly what I want! Should be fine after a bit of "ubuntufying" !! :D Thanks | 05:12 |
| Byan | Tretle: grub-install didn't work? | 05:12 |
| raddy | Hello Everybody | 05:13 |
| Byan | you did grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk hd0 | 05:13 |
| Byan | ? | 05:13 |

| Byan | what? run the live cd | 05:13 |
| Byan | open the terminal | 05:13 |
| zigui | Byan:normaly the setup of installer have predefined that the partition with the grub loader is hd(0,0), but you have the chance to confirm it | 05:14 |
| khin | is there no way to move directories recursively while overwriting currently existing subdirectories? | 05:14 |
| Byan | zigui: I see no place to do either | 05:14 |
| Tretle | did much other people have this problem? | 05:14 |
| Byan | zigui: either change it or confirm it | 05:14 |

| formolQ1 | hi | 05:15 |
| Byan | yeah | 05:15 |
| Byan | there is no option to change it | 05:15 |
| Byan | it seems like it would know to use the partition you used to isntall ubuntu.. | 05:16 |
| Byan | as the one for grub | 05:16 |
| nickrud | khin, I think you need to use cp , then rm the origin dir | 05:16 |
| * Byan sigsh | 05:16 | |
| khin | thats kind of pathetic but ok | 05:16 |
| zigui | Byan:you chose the partition where you go to install the ubuntu after them you have the chance to confirm when you make "next" | 05:17 |
| nickrud | khin, there's probably a way, but heck | 05:17 |
| raddy | can anybody help me in fixing gdm resolution problem? | 05:17 |
| Byan | zigui: using alternative cd | 05:17 |
| Byan | there is not any option like that =P | 05:17 |
| nickrud | raddy, gdm is wrong, but the desktop is right? | 05:17 |
| zigui | Byan:you have a Little button in the bottom of instaler and when you presse this button you will seen a menu | 05:18 |
| raddy | nickrud : exactly | 05:18 |
| zigui | Byan:where you can see if you are installing grub | 05:19 |
| Byan | yeah | 05:19 |
| Byan | zigui: it says install grub and tells me that it fails | 05:19 |
| nickrud | raddy, how about putting a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf , /var/log/Xorg.0.log , and the output of lspci | grep -i vga (typed in a terminal) on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 05:19 |
| Byan | and it has no way to configure what it is trying to do either | 05:19 |
| Byan | I am begining to lose my respect for ubuntu >_> | 05:20 |
| raddy | nickrud : sure | 05:20 |
| Tretle | right | 05:20 |
| zigui | Byan:hd(0,0) | 05:20 |
| Byan | zigui: wtf, what? | 05:20 |
| zigui | Byan:in the alternate | 05:20 |
| zigui | i don't now | 05:20 |
| Tretle | anyone know what noapic option does? | 05:20 |
| Byan | where do I put that? | 05:20 |
| Byan | there is no option | 05:20 |
| Byan | and it would be hd(0,3) anyways | 05:20 |
| Tretle | no | 05:20 |
| rcomalta___ | hello i am ferst time in ubutu can some help me to dawnlod xchat | 05:21 |
| Byan | yes, my linux partition is not hd(0,0) | 05:21 |
| Byan | it is hd(0,3) | 05:21 |
| Tretle | its something i had to put in before to install ubuntu without it crashing while booting from the cd but after the firmware update i dont | 05:21 |
| nickrud | rcomalta___, system->admin->synaptic , ctl-f , xchat. Click the box next to xchat, then press apply | 05:22 |
| Tretle | maybe that has something to do with the problem im having | 05:22 |
| corruptionoflulz | Eagleray: forgot which channel we were in | 05:22 |
| zigui | Byan the hd(0,3), is the place you going to install ubuntu | 05:22 |
| malnilion | nickrud, he might not have universe enabled | 05:22 |
| Byan | zigui: yes.. | 05:22 |
| raddy | nickrud : xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48982/ | 05:22 |
| nickrud | malnilion, very true, we'll find out :) | 05:22 |
| zigui | Byan:but the grub you install it on hd(0,0) | 05:22 |
| Billy | is there a way to run Mac on linux ? ........ like using VMware to run windows on linux .... | 05:22 |
| Byan | zigui: no you don;t.. | 05:22 |
| Byan | you install it on your linux partition.. | 05:22 |
| Byan | it goes into /boot/grub | 05:22 |
| rcomalta___ | nickrud | 05:22 |
| malnilion | Billy, I've done it, it's technically illegal, and it doesn't run well from my experience :P | 05:23 |
| Billy | malice, I own the CD ...... still its illegal ? | 05:23 |
| nickrud | raddy, your xorg is not what I'd call useable ; try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg , log out, and back in. It wll make a back up for you | 05:24 |
| rcomalta___ | how can i dawnload x chat | 05:24 |
| malnilion | Billy, it's a gray area. At any rate, your CD won't "just work", you would need to patch your CD image | 05:24 |
| sparr | Billy: illegal in some countries, possibly the USA. and it runs just as well as any other virtualized OS | 05:24 |
| nickrud | raddy, erm, replace -phigh with -pcritical | 05:24 |
| malnilion | sparr, you've got it working well? | 05:24 |
| Billy | i see | 05:24 |
| zigui | Byan:when i say that you goes to install on hd(0,0),is because you are creating a reference to hd(0,3) in Boot Record sector 0 of the disk 0 | 05:24 |
| raddy | nickrud : Xorg.0.log output | 05:24 |
| Billy | malice, : what would I use anyways ? .......... any URLs ? | 05:24 |
| zigui | when the computer start | 05:24 |
| raddy | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48983/ | 05:24 |
| linux_stu | does directx 9 vs directx 10 have any relevance when running linux? | 05:25 |
| Byan | zigui: but hd(0,0) is the 1st partition... | 05:25 |
| zigui | Byan:he goes to read the master boot record | 05:25 |
| nickrud | rcomalta___, synaptic is your gateway to all the packages in ubuntu. If you will run synaptic, do ctl -f (opens a search box) and search for xchat , you should see it. Let me know if you don't | 05:25 |
| malnilion | Billy, you might try this guide: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Vmware_how_to | 05:25 |
| Byan | zigui: when you do the boot record stuff, you use setup(hd0) | 05:25 |
| sparr | malnilion: had tiger running great. havent done anything with leopard yet | 05:25 |
| Byan | there is no (0,0) | 05:25 |
| KNRO | Anyone here knows the structure of dsc files? What is meant exactly by Build-Depends? and is there just Depends for depndencies? | 05:25 |
| Byan | it's just hd0 | 05:25 |
| nickrud | raddy, did you see my last about running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg | 05:25 |
| Billy | sparr, what progy did you use ? | 05:26 |
| zigui | Byan:if there are no link to your partition or win partition, he don't sart up with your ubuntu | 05:26 |
| raddy | nickrud : will do | 05:26 |
| malnilion | Billy, I used vmware when I tried, sparr might have used something different | 05:26 |

| Eagleray | corruptionoflulz: had a phonecall | 05:27 |
| nickrud | rcomalta___, how's it going, you finding it? | 05:27 |
| Byan | zigui: yeah, but (0,0) is not the boot record | 05:27 |
| Byan | at least I am pretty sure it's not | 05:27 |
| Byan | thats the 1st partition | 05:27 |

| Geoffrey2 | Ubuntu will not boot, it's a kernel bug that requires a specific disable command in the kernel command during boot...something to do with the clock functions | 05:30 |
| Byan | zigui: there is no option | 05:30 |
| Byan | zigui: I never changed it | 05:30 |
| germ77 | thanks a ton tretle, is there a list of those somewhere or is it just in the settings manager screen? | 05:30 |
| Geoffrey2 | I had the command in, but the last kernel update rewrote the grub file and erased it, and I forgot to write it down....anyone happen to know what the command would be? | 05:31 |
| Tretle | noapic | 05:31 |
| backgen | Can anyone help me? All the top little bars of all my windows are missing...so i can't minimize or resize or close any windows! | 05:32 |
| maddash | backgen: that's because you don | 05:32 |
| maddash | backgen: that's because you don't have a WM running. | 05:32 |
| backgen | maddash: a what? | 05:32 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, no I don't, but to avoid that override in the future, look for the line #defoptions= in /boot/grub/menu.lst and add it there, the grub update will add it to kernels from then on | 05:32 |
| maddash | backgen: window manager. | 05:32 |
| backgen | maddash: gasp!!! how do i turn it off? | 05:32 |
| zigui | Byan:i never see this in a ubuntu cd | 05:33 |
| backgen | maddash: also...my "spaces" isn't working...i can't switch from screen to screen | 05:33 |

| zigui | Byan:i already se this in Mandriva,suse,PclinuxOs, but not in ubuntu | 05:33 |
| backgen | maddash: is that because of the window manager too? | 05:33 |

| Tretle | is this grub issue just a bug from one of the updates | 05:41 |
| backgen | nickrud: oh fantastic...is it known to "crap out" much? | 05:41 |
| nickrud | backgen, now, in the terminal type disown <tab> <enter> , so you can close it | 05:41 |

| nickrud | backgen, lspci | grep -i vga (that's an L in lspci | 05:51 |

| m3gach33zy | hi | 05:52 |
| Tretle | i presume the hw stands for hardware which makes me wonder why have lsusb | 05:52 |
| Arrick | does anyone know a command that will tell me if my vncserver is running? | 05:52 |
| Arrick | I cant seem to connect, even though i installed it from synaptic | 05:53 |
| nickrud | Arrick, ps -A | grep vnc | 05:53 |
| backgen | nickrud: ah ha! well this is my crappy intergrated graphics card then: Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller | 05:53 |
| Thornsberry | Could someone help me really quick? I'm new to Linux and I was having problems with my Internet yesterday. Usually in Windows I'd use the command prompt and use ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew and that will solve the problem. Could someone help me figure out the commands for that in Linux? | 05:53 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: ifup/ifdown [interface] | 05:54 |
| nickrud | backgen, I've never played with that one, but I think you can go to system->preferences->appearance and on the last tab, turn on desktop effects | 05:54 |
| Arrick | it didnt return anything but a prompt nickrud ? | 05:54 |
| nickrud | Arrick, then it's not running | 05:54 |
| Arrick | how do I start the one called vncserver? | 05:54 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, and that does the same? | 05:54 |
| Arrick | opr better yet, how do I make it run as a service? | 05:54 |
| nickrud | Arrick, don't know, never ran it :) | 05:54 |
| backgen | nickrud: oh ok...well i've done that...but all i've noticed that it does is that my windows go all squiggly when i move them (which is actually pretty damn cool) | 05:54 |
| Arrick | ok | 05:55 |
| Tretle | reboot after install.... third time lucky | 05:55 |
| Tretle | :D | 05:55 |
| rcomalta___ | ok find i do it thanks nickrud | 05:55 |
| nickrud | backgen, now install compizconfig-settings-manager, there'll be a new option in preferences above appearance, and have fun) | 05:55 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: what exactly do you want to do, anyway? | 05:55 |
| nickrud | rcomalta___, you all good then? | 05:55 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: ipconfig /renew renews the DHCP lease, right? | 05:55 |
| backgen | nickrud: thanks! do you think my graphics card can support it though? | 05:56 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, I believe so. | 05:56 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: if you just need a new dhcp lease, then 'dhclient [intf]' | 05:56 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| david__ | nok nick i find it | 05:56 |
| Ose | What's the command to show the ID of everything? Something -A I think.. | 05:56 |
| nickrud | backgen, compiz doesn't take a lot, it does | 05:56 |
| Tretle | i think he wants to repair the conection | 05:56 |
| david__ | rcomalta thanks | 05:56 |
| maddash | Ose: processes? ps aux | 05:56 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, I tried the dhclient and it said that permission is denied. | 05:56 |
| Ose | maddash: That's the one. I had a different command that gave this but.. That works. Thanks. | 05:56 |
| zigui | how i can save the new values in this file /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM$ trip_points ? | 05:57 |
| backgen | nickrud: ok...so wait am i supposed to type "install compizconfig-settings-manager" in Terminal? | 05:57 |
| nickrud | Ose, another one that's pretty cool is pstree , I think you have to install it | 05:57 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, I tried to go to the root by using: su root and it doesn't work whenever I try it. | 05:57 |
| nickrud | backgen, sudo aptitude <what you just typed> | 05:57 |
| Ose | nickrud: I'll try that.. THis one isn't organized to my liking. But it was yet another. Haha. | 05:57 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: if you want to root, then it's plain old 'su' | 05:57 |
| Tretle | right............ so tried installing ubuntu without security updates and now getting error 22: no such partition | 05:57 |
| nickrud | Ose, and htop for a different view, you need to install that one also | 05:58 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: in this case, the one-liner would be: 'su -c "dhclient [intf]" ' | 05:58 |
| backgen | nickrud: :D my god i love Terminal | 05:58 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, every time I try that I get "su: Authentication failure Sorry." | 05:58 |
| Thornsberry | It asks for my password which I put in and it never works for some reason. | 05:58 |
| Ose | nickrud: pstree works - cool. But it doesn't show IDs. | 05:58 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: you need the ROOT pwd, not your own user/pwd. | 05:59 |
| maddash | Ose: forget pstree. 'ps auxf' | 05:59 |
| MyOriginalAlias | pegasus: TY very much, now after I have that package installed how do I install the desklet I downloaded? do I extract the tar.gz and then.. | 05:59 |
| MyOriginalAlias | did i get disconnected? | 05:59 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, Oh, well how do I get that? | 05:59 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: you never set your root password? | 05:59 |
| EdwardXP | i was wondering is there an easier way to get port numbers on ubunut terminal? | 05:59 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, I don't believe so. If I did it would have been the same password as the one I'm typing in that isn't working. | 05:59 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: then how'd you install ubuntu? | 05:59 |
| Ose | maddash: Is there a way to just.. Search for the pid of a proccess? A specific one. | 05:59 |
| Arrick | anyone here happen to know how to start vncserver on the current version? | 06:00 |
| maddash | Ose: pgrep. | 06:00 |
| nickrud | maddash, oh, thats nice | 06:00 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, I didn't use a different password but it won't work now. | 06:00 |
| Ose | maddash: Awesome. Thanks. | 06:00 |
| EdwardXP | i was wondering is there an easier way to get port numbers on ubunut terminal .............. | 06:00 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, is there a way that I could reset it without reinstalling? | 06:00 |
| Ose | maddash: Well that didn't fix that problem.. Happen to know anything about amarok? Won't even load anymore. | 06:00 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: then...install sudo? either that, or pray to the ubuntu deity for wisdom? | 06:00 |
| nickrud | !sudo | Thornsberry | 06:01 |
| ubotu | Thornsberry: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 06:01 |
| warriorf2rgod | Arrick: I just use vnc -geometry yyyyxyyyy on the command line | 06:01 |
| nickrud | lol | 06:01 |
| maddash | nickrud: if you paid attention, you'd see that his problem lies in not knowing his root pwd. | 06:01 |
| nickrud | EdwardXP, what port numbers? | 06:01 |
| EdwardXP | i am trying to get pidgin ports, and vnc | 06:01 |
| nickrud | maddash, if he did a standard install, he never had the option | 06:01 |
| nickrud | EdwardXP, sudo netstat -tlp | 06:02 |
| maddash | nickrud: the ubuntu installer doesn't ask to set the root password?? | 06:02 |
| david__ | Any one a here have web server can help me | 06:02 |
| nickrud | maddash, nope :) | 06:02 |
| crdlb | Arrick: use vino if you want to access an ubuntu desktop system (system>prefs>remote desktop) | 06:02 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: which ubun2 is this? | 06:02 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, I'm using the newest, I think 7.10 if I'm not mistaken. | 06:02 |
| backgen | Wow Compiz is amazing! although i have no clue how to operate most of it's features...is there somewhere in it where it tells you how to do a certain thing (like for example the Enhanced Zoom Desktop) | 06:02 |
| nickrud | maddash, it's set to a hash that cannot be matched by any keystroke combo | 06:03 |
| crdlb | backgen: join #compiz-fusion and see the compiz fusion wiki: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org | 06:03 |
| backgen | crdlb: thanks! | 06:03 |
| maddash | Thornsberry: sorry. assuming that sudo is installed by default, 'sudo su', then 'passwd' | 06:03 |
| david__ | if any one have web server on ubuntu let me know i need help | 06:04 |
| warriorf2rgod | david__: What's the trouble? | 06:04 |
| david__ | warrir i need to do web server from where can i start | 06:04 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, That worked to get to the root. | 06:04 |
| warriorf2rgod | david__: Do you have a copy of the 7.10 server cd? | 06:05 |
| Thornsberry | maddash, thanks, I'm just new to Linux, I've used it for maybe 5 days and I'm still trying to figure out my way around the terminal. | 06:05 |
| david__ | warrior how can i check wich ver i have | 06:05 |
| Arrick | crdlb Im accessing from windows boxes | 06:05 |
| MasterShrek | david__: type: lsb-release -a in a terminal i think | 06:05 |
| david__ | yes 7.10 i have | 06:05 |
| warriorf2rgod | david__: Do you currently have the system up and running? | 06:06 |
| EdwardXP | how do i get netstat to look for a specific program for me and monitor it all the time | 06:06 |
| david__ | yes i am on it x chat | 06:06 |
| warriorf2rgod | david__: Ok. Sounds like you installed the desktop version. Just a sec. | 06:06 |
| crdlb | Arrick: that doesn't matter, vino is just a vnc server | 06:06 |
| _blitz_ | is there a c++ compiler in linux that has an integrated developing environment? | 06:08 |
| kahrytan | _blitz_➲ there is plenty | 06:08 |
| Arrick | rofl, you know what crdlb ? I already knew that, because I did an install a couple weeks ago, and it totally slipped my mind | 06:08 |
| Arrick | thanks | 06:08 |
| zetheroo | how do I get the printers to work over the network? it was so simple in Feisty...... | 06:08 |
| nickrud | _blitz_, anjuta , kdevelop are popular ide's | 06:08 |
| crdlb | :) | 06:08 |
| kahrytan | _blitz_➲ plenty of IDEs. just use GCC for compiling. | 06:08 |
| warriorf2rgod | david__: Best way to do it is to download the 7.10 server cd and install with it. After install type sudo apt-get install ubuntu desktop at command line. This will ensure all need programs are in place. | 06:09 |
| === ktogias_ is now known as ktogias | ||
| warriorf2rgod | david__: s/ubuntu desktop/ubuntu-desktop | 06:09 |
| _blitz_ | okay | 06:09 |
| Arrick | crdlb the only thing I didnt like was the fact that I couldnt let others connect to my desktop, and show them something, is there a way around that? | 06:09 |
| david__ | warrior i can do on this | 06:09 |
| maddash | nickrud: 'sudo -i'? canonical in place of what? | 06:09 |
| nickrud | warriorf2rgod, all he needs is to install apache2 on his desktop install and he's good to go | 06:09 |
| nickrud | maddash, rather than having people set a root password | 06:10 |
| crdlb | Arrick: what do you mean? | 06:10 |
| warriorf2rgod | david__: What nickrud said | 06:10 |
| david__ | what warrior | 06:10 |
| crdlb | Arrick: you can allow view only if you want | 06:10 |
| warriorf2rgod | david__: open up terminal and type sudo apt-get install apache2 | 06:10 |
| maddash | nickrud: if you think about it, sudo isn't more secure than su | 06:10 |
| Arrick | crdlb last time I ran it with the rdp setup like you said to, anytime someone else logged in under my name, to watch what I was doing, it logged me out and let them in | 06:10 |
| Arrick | how do i make it where its a shared session | 06:10 |
| maddash | nickrud: in fact, sudo is a potential security hole. | 06:11 |
| crdlb | Arrick: that's not how vino works | 06:11 |
| crdlb | it lets you see the current session | 06:11 |
| Arrick | thats what i want though | 06:11 |
| Arrick | yeah, but only one person logged in at a time | 06:11 |
| maddash | nickrud: interesting, though. I didn't know about -i. | 06:11 |
| nickrud | maddash, like I said, I'm agnostic. I used sudo in debian long before I heard of ubuntu to protect myself from repeating a really stupid error I once made. I've heard it said that if root has no password, a brute forcer needs to know a username as well as forcing a password | 06:11 |
| Arrick | ahh, i got it crdlb nevermind | 06:12 |
| havoc_ | how would you install world of war craft | 06:12 |
| Arrick | thanks for the hint | 06:12 |

| crimsun | Ezep: if you have access to another OS, find the parameters there. | 06:20 |

| Billy | how do I open compiz setting window in Ubuntu 7.1 | 06:22 |
| estupendocero | Sounds don't work in pidgin. I'm asking here instead of in #pidgin because this is an out-of-th-box problem in a fresh install. What should I check? | 06:22 |
| Germ77 | ah ok thanks, should scratch the windows logo off of it haha | 06:22 |
| EdwardXP | how do you create a terminal that types slowly the information you distribute to it? | 06:22 |
| oddd | is anyone here good with gstreamer? | 06:22 |
| alecwh | Germ77: probably a good idea. =) | 06:23 |
| Geoffrey2 | sigh...why does it seem there's never a simple way to do anything when it comes to computers | 06:23 |
| Ose | maddash: I should've guessed that... Still didn't fix it. Damn. Know anything about Amarok? | 06:23 |
| maddash | Ose: did you see aptitude do the reinstalling? | 06:23 |
| jahlin | i just compiled madwifi! | 06:23 |
| Germ77 | hmmm dont think thats what I was looking for, saw someone had their windows set to burn when closing and opening, is that in compiz or something else? | 06:24 |
| Ose | maddash: Yeah | 06:24 |
| maddash | Geoffrey2: `aptitude install hwinfo` | 06:24 |
| Geoffrey2 | well, I guess if there was, there wouldn't be any need for computer techs...so I probably shouldn't complain...too much... :) | 06:24 |
| oddd | can anyone spot what is wrong with this: "gst-launch avimux name="mux" ! filesink location="out.avi" filesrc location="file.mov" ! decodebin name="demux" { demux. ! queue ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ffenc_mpeg2video ! queue ! mux. } {demux. ! queue ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! ffenc_mp2 ! queue ! mux. }" | 06:24 |
| alecwh | Ose: Maybe you should delete all settings/config files too? .amarok in your ~ | 06:24 |
| maddash | Geoffrey2: then use hwinfo to figure out which /dev entry belongs to your unmounted drive. | 06:24 |
| nickrud | Germ77, yes, in the animate section of ccsm. But if you're exploring compiz, you should ask about it on #compiz-fusion | 06:24 |
| Billy | guys ...... what is the command to open compiz setting in ubuntu 7.10 ? | 06:24 |
| maddash | Ose: no clue, then. | 06:24 |
| Germ77 | ah thanks ill check that channel | 06:24 |
| maddash | Ose: #amarok | 06:25 |

| Geoffrey2 | what I'm trying to do is simply boot up a linux CD so I can reapply a workaround to a kernel bug that got wiped out with the last kernel upgrade a couple days ago | 06:26 |

| Geoffrey2 | I've got DSL booted up now...now I just need to get it to mount my SATA drive...somehow | 06:26 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, as root , mount /dev/sd<whatever> -t ext2 /mnt | 06:27 |
| Geoffrey2 | nickrud, well, if I can mount the drive, I should be able to look at the menu.lst backup and copy the command over.... | 06:27 |
| simion314 | hi, i turned on my laptop but i do not used so ths screen saver started,the default black screen saver. When i try to use the laptop now the screen is black, if i drag the mouse over an area the descktop becomes visible. My solution is to change to the other descktop. Is this a known bug? | 06:27 |
| adv | anyone got an idea for a name for a picture to ascii program? | 06:28 |
| jahlin_ | i just compiled madwifi, used modprobe ath_pci to load the driver module, and i get no errors but the device still isn't listed in dmesg | 06:28 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, I don't remember if it was you, but you can have it added to any new kernel by looking for the #defopts= line in the menu.lst and adding the option there | 06:28 |
| Geoffrey2 | nickrud, it was | 06:28 |
| Ose | alecwh: Not sure where that is in Dolphin.. I'm looking in terminal though so they should be there, right? | 06:28 |
| PirateHead | Is there a way to import my email history into Thunderbird? | 06:29 |
| HiddenBek | Hi people. I'm in a bit of a jam. My laptop's bios suddenly stopped recognizing my harddrive. The ubuntu install CD finds it just fine, but I'm unable to boot from my hard drive. I'd like to use the root= kernel option to load up my hd partition while booting from the ubuntu install cd, but I can't remember how to go about doing that. | 06:29 |
| Myrtti | PirateHead: from where | 06:29 |
| PirateHead | It just connects to the server and says "no new messages", but I want it to pull in my old messages. | 06:29 |
| Ose | alecwh: Found it, nevermind. | 06:29 |
| alecwh | Ose, I... don't know... I don't use the terminal much for file browsing. | 06:29 |
| PirateHead | Myrtti: From my Gmail. | 06:29 |
| alecwh | Ose: ok. | 06:29 |
| maddash | simion314: rephrase? | 06:29 |
| HiddenBek | Simply adding root=/dev/sda2 to the list of boot opts on the CD dosen't seem to do it. I'm sure I'm missing something simple. | 06:29 |
| jahlin_ | hi | 06:29 |
| Myrtti | PirateHead: perhaps by using imap? | 06:29 |
| raddy | nickrud: i used that command and it overwrote xorg file, but still same problem :( | 06:29 |
| morphles | when i change something in conpizconfig settings manager i dont see it affecting compiz in any way, why this could be happening? | 06:29 |
| Myrtti | PirateHead: I'm not sure what you mean | 06:30 |
| Myrtti | PirateHead: but that would be closest bet | 06:30 |
| alecwh | Ose: report back and see if deleting worked | 06:30 |
| alecwh | Ose: please. | 06:30 |
| PirateHead | Myrtti: I decided that I want to have a copy of my email on my computer, using Thunderbird, instead of relying entirely on webmail. | 06:30 |
| nickrud | raddy, ok, paste a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the new xorg.conf to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 06:30 |
| EdwardXP | >> this command line does some crazy things.... cat /dev/sda | 06:30 |
| PirateHead | Myrtti: So, I set up Thunderbird. But it's not pulling in any of my old emails. | 06:30 |
| vasuvi | I'm going to be getting a new G92 graphics card soon that currently needs beta nVidia drivers to run; what's the easiest way to make Ubuntu use the beta drivers instead of the release drivers for nVidia? | 06:30 |
| Myrtti | PirateHead: by using pop? | 06:30 |
| PirateHead | Myrtti: Yes. | 06:31 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: don't do that | 06:31 |
| alecwh | PirateHead: that usually has to do with the server. Are you using gmail? | 06:31 |
| nickrud | local imap stores are the bomb, no more worrying about email clients | 06:31 |
| Geoffrey2 | fdisk -l /dev/sda returns "Cannot open /dev/sda" | 06:31 |
| PirateHead | alecwh: Yes, using gmail. | 06:31 |
| maddash | Geoffrey2: b/c you're not root? | 06:31 |
| EdwardXP | i want to display the hard drive space in one line | 06:31 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, it'll be sda1 or sda2 or whatever, the number is the partition number | 06:31 |
| alecwh | PirateHead: You'll need to login to your gmail account, go to settings, POP and SMTP (or something like that), and "download all messages". | 06:31 |
| alecwh | Then retry on thunderbird. | 06:31 |
| alecwh | and that might not be exactly the wording. | 06:31 |
| maddash | nickrud: fdisk, man. **fdisk** | 06:31 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, erm, didn't read carefully | 06:31 |
| Geoffrey2 | maddash, how do I become root? using sudo? | 06:32 |
| maddash | Geoffrey2: dig deep into the dirt. | 06:32 |
| alecwh | Geoffrey2: Yes. | 06:32 |
| EdwardXP | How do i display the Hard drive space in one line in terminal | 06:32 |
| raddy | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48988/ contains Xorg log0 | 06:32 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, don't know dsl , so can't help you troubleshoot why it doesn't recognize your drive | 06:32 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: df | 06:32 |
| CaptainMorgan | how do I operate intrusion detection? | 06:32 |
| EdwardXP | vmstat | 06:32 |
| Myrtti | PirateHead: you can actually make gmail to allow you to download the whole history | 06:32 |
| CaptainMorgan | !intrusion | 06:32 |
| EdwardXP | with vmstat | 06:32 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about intrusion - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:32 |
| Myrtti | PirateHead: but I dislike pop | 06:32 |
| PirateHead | alecwh: excellent advice. It's working now. | 06:33 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: vmstat = VIRTUAL MEMORY status. | 06:33 |
| alecwh | PirateHead: For what? | 06:33 |
| EdwardXP | ooo | 06:33 |
| alecwh | PirateHead: what was your problem again | 06:33 |
| Myrtti | PirateHead: use imap if you can | 06:33 |
| Ose | alecwh: Strangely enough.. There is no .amarok there. I see .kde, .mozilla, etc, but no amarok. I just completely removed it and installed it again and it worked. | 06:33 |
| alecwh | oh. | 06:33 |
| Myrtti | PirateHead: it's far more useful than pop | 06:33 |
| PirateHead | alecwh: gmail wasn't letting me download my old mail. | 06:33 |
| EdwardXP | noo maddash | 06:33 |
| EdwardXP | it does cpu activity as well | 06:33 |
| alecwh | Ose: great. PirateHead: ok. | 06:33 |
| PirateHead | Myrtti: Yeah, imap is cool, but I just want to pull my whole history in, which is basically what pop is designed for. | 06:33 |
| Geoffrey2 | all I want to do is fix an entry in menu.lst, you'd think that wouldn't be too hard, but first I have to be able to boot something that will let me...so far, no dice | 06:34 |
| EdwardXP | and disk information | 06:34 |
| raddy | nickrud: new xorg.conf file http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48989/ | 06:34 |
| Ose | alecwh: But apparently it still doesn't like my collection.. Moment I click that tab it crashes. Fun! Off to #amarok.. | 06:34 |
| alecwh | Ose: good luck. | 06:34 |
| Myrtti | PirateHead: sure, but if you actually plan to *use* thunderbird to send and receive gmail, pop's not the answer | 06:34 |
| simion314 | maddash: where can i upload a picture, an image makes more then 1000 words? | 06:35 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: but not disk space | 06:35 |
| maddash | simion314: imageshack.us | 06:35 |
| PirateHead | Myrtti: Can't I just use pop and imap? | 06:35 |
| PirateHead | Myrtti: Can't I just use pop and smpt, I mean? | 06:35 |
| PirateHead | smtp. I can type, I swearz. | 06:35 |
| EdwardXP | vmstat -D | 06:35 |
| EdwardXP | i think that works | 06:36 |
| maddash | there is no '-D'... | 06:36 |
| EdwardXP | i just did it | 06:36 |
| Wutz | Hello, I have a huge problem with my ati driver, can anyone help? | 06:36 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, any other suggestions on what I could try booting that would know what to do with a SATA drive? | 06:36 |
| EdwardXP | ur crazy local | 06:36 |
| raddy | nickrud : are you there? | 06:36 |
| maddash | hm, we have a man page bug | 06:36 |
| alecwh | I'm looking for a simple application, that will let me compose basic HTML (no styling, just straight HTML) that is standards compliant. Any ideas? =P | 06:37 |
| Bjornalf | i have some evolution questions.. first which junkmail filter is better? Bogofilter or Spamassasin? | 06:37 |
| mikeooo | man lol anyone use ubuntu with seemless virtualisation rdesktop | 06:37 |
| nickrud | raddy, yup, looking this over. I think I've met my match on this log. | 06:37 |
| mikeooo | i ran quicktime with a 720p trailer over rdp and it actually played | 06:38 |
| mikeooo | running quicktime in xp | 06:38 |
| derenrich | what's the proper command to use to shutdown a pc over ssh? | 06:38 |
| Flannel | derenrich: `sudo shutdown -h now` | 06:38 |
| derenrich | ok | 06:38 |
| derenrich | thanks | 06:38 |
| mikeooo | the 480p is almost watchable | 06:38 |
| maddash | raddy: what exactly is wrong? | 06:38 |
| maddash | derenrich: sudo halt. | 06:39 |
| raddy | maddash : gdm is started in lower resolution | 06:39 |
| Geoffrey2 | is it still possible to get Ubuntu 7.04 from somewhere? | 06:40 |
| maddash | raddy: so add an additional screenres to your xorg.conf? | 06:40 |
| Flannel | Geoffrey2: all over the place, yeah. | 06:40 |
| alecwh | Geoffrey2: why? | 06:40 |
| Bjornalf | can anyone help with evolution or is there another channel to ask in? | 06:40 |
| raddy | maddash : that is? | 06:40 |
| EdwardXP | im trying to text together cal, whoami, id >> 1 | 06:40 |
| alecwh | Geoffrey2: I'm sure there are torrents up. | 06:40 |
| EdwardXP | and i can't get them all in | 06:40 |
| Geoffrey2 | so maybe, possibly, I can actually use my desktop computer again.... | 06:41 |
| Flannel | Geoffrey2: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ | 06:41 |
| Geoffrey2 | which Ubuntu is currently locking me out of | 06:41 |
| maddash | raddy: bah. forget that. your problem is that gdm displays at a different res than after you login, right? | 06:41 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: 'text together'? | 06:41 |
| EdwardXP | yah | 06:41 |
| EdwardXP | i mean for instatn | 06:41 |
| EdwardXP | cal >> 1 | 06:41 |
| EdwardXP | and when i type in cat 1 i get the calendar | 06:42 |
| alecwh | Geoffrey2: keep in mind, 7.04 will still be updated for awhile. | 06:42 |
| raddy | maddash : after login, i have configured screen resolution app to set higher resolution, | 06:42 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: in plain english, what do you want to do? | 06:42 |
| EdwardXP | but i want to do, cal & time & date & whoami >> 1 | 06:42 |
| EdwardXP | when i do cat 1 i get cal only... | 06:42 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: 'echo `cal` `time` ...'? | 06:42 |
| EdwardXP | but in a document | 06:43 |
| gdreamweaver | all i want to do is get my sigmatel audio to work.... | 06:43 |
| === zzap| is now known as zzap | ||
| maddash | EdwardXP: 'echo `cal` `time` ... >> 1'? | 06:43 |
| EdwardXP | i think i'll try that one :) | 06:43 |
| maddash | raddy: the problem is with gdm, not X. | 06:43 |
| maddash | raddy: so play around with /etc/gdm{.conf,/gdm.conf,etc} | 06:43 |
| Ose | alecwh: Amarok settings are under ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok - for future reference. And that did work, thanks. | 06:43 |
| alecwh | Ose: good to know, thanks for reporting back. | 06:44 |
| _nix_ | EdwardXP: that would be echo "`cal`" "`date`" "`whoami`" >> file | 06:44 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: with out the " " " | 06:44 |
| Geoffrey2 | alecwh, I actually already have 7.10 installed, and it works fine...it's just that when the last kernel upgrade came down the pike, it overwrite my menu.lst file, erasing the kernel option I need to make the thing boot | 06:44 |
| gdreamweaver | anyone have the problem where their audio device is recognized but they don't get any sound? | 06:44 |
| EdwardXP | i get permission denied | 06:45 |
| jones | !awn | 06:45 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:45 |
| davidthedrake | gdreamweaver, I've seen that on a different HP laptop than mine. | 06:45 |
| _nix_ | EdwardXP: are u using sudo to >> output? | 06:45 |
| gdreamweaver | im on a dell inspiron | 06:45 |
| jones | anyone know how to change the menu applet icon in awn? | 06:45 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: because you're trying to write somewhere that you're not allowed? | 06:45 |
| dfeeser | is anyone here running Ubuntu Studio 7.10? If so, how do like it compared to regular Ubuntu? | 06:45 |
| _nix_ | yeah.. that too | 06:45 |
| maddash | 'studio'? | 06:46 |
| simion314 | hi, about my Bug, this is a image: http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t224/simion314/Screenshot.png | 06:46 |
| _nix_ | dfeeser: rt-kernel and more multimedia apps.. that's all | 06:46 |
| davidthedrake | dfeeser, A friend of mine runs it and loves the list of apps available. | 06:46 |
| Geoffrey2 | alecwh, there's a conflict between the new kernel series and something on my motherboard that causes Ubuntu to crash on bootup, and the kernel option makes it work...so, all I really want to do is load up a minimal O/S that'll let me mount my hard drive, fix the menu.lst file, then reboot...sounds simple, right? :) | 06:46 |
| EdwardXP | no | 06:46 |
| maddash | simion314: cool. | 06:46 |
| davidthedrake | dfeeser, However, it's nothing above and beyond a normal Ubuntu install with some stuff included. | 06:46 |
| _nix_ | dfeeser: that plumbing is the same | 06:46 |
| EdwardXP | maddash, just home | 06:46 |
| nickrud | that is an ugly screen | 06:46 |
| gdreamweaver | i see my device in alsamixer, but i get no sound at ALL! im getting frustrated | 06:46 |
| Filled-Void | ANyone here who knows why icons wouldnt work on AWN? That I get the regular icons on AWN while the other icons are being used on the menus etc | 06:46 |
| dfeeser | i see | 06:47 |
| Ganjaman23 | someone stole my window buttons? | 06:47 |
| alecwh | Geoffrey2: ah. I don't know much about that sort of stuff, but good luck. | 06:47 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: no clue. retry the echo command with a full path. | 06:47 |
| raddy | maddash : i found the problem, but not the solution, the problem is gdm is trying to set a resolution, my monitor is not setting the resolution at first attempt, | 06:47 |
| _nix_ | dfeeser: you may want to install the linux-rt package to check out the other kernel | 06:47 |
| Ganjaman23 | those _ and X at the upper right | 06:47 |
| dfeeser | _nix_: is there much of a benefit to this kernel? | 06:47 |
| maddash | raddy: didn't I already tell you that the problem resides in gdm? | 06:47 |
| _nix_ | dfeeser: dunno.. some kind of new schedular is included from a guy called Molar Ingo | 06:48 |
| Geoffrey2 | that's the only real downside I find to linux....finding someone to answer your question on a given topic is a pure crap shoot most of the time | 06:48 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, the single best recovery disk out there is knoppix , you really should add it to your toolkit. | 06:48 |
| maddash | simion314: so that's what happens after you jump out of xscreensaver? | 06:48 |
| _nix_ | dfeeser: that's supposed to speed up things on multicore machines | 06:48 |
| Ganjaman23 | yeah 2.6.24 january or so | 06:48 |
| Bjornalf | which junk filer for evolution is better and/or easier to configure? | 06:48 |
| EdwardXP | maddash, you know when you do cal >> 1 .. and than you cat 1 and you get the calendar' -- i wanna try and get em' all like cal, id, whoami, all in one | 06:48 |
| davidthedrake | Geoffrey2, you would prefer maybe waiting on hold for 45 minutes to speak to someone who asks if you've tried to restart your computer? | 06:48 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, you simply need root access to mount that drive, or to fdisk it | 06:48 |
| dfeeser | _nix_: i see. I doubt I would see much of an improvement since I am running a single core Intel. | 06:49 |
| Ganjaman23 | ok im new to gnome and i lost the buttons from the screen | 06:49 |
| EdwardXP | maddash, so when i cat it.. i get all the present information | 06:49 |
| dfeeser | appreciate the info though | 06:49 |
| simion314 | maddash: yes | 06:49 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: scroll up. | 06:49 |
| _nix_ | dfeeser: I wouldn't know how to benchmark that anyway.. sure | 06:49 |
| EdwardXP | save me from typing a lot of commands | 06:49 |
| maddash | simion314: then disable xscreensaver? | 06:49 |
| alecwh | is it possible to get additional visualizations for Totem? | 06:49 |
| Geoffrey2 | nickrud, so far I've tried a System Rescue CD, and now I'm trying the DSL live CD.... | 06:49 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, never tried those, but if you can get a root terminal ... | 06:50 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, what's the sudo option to get root access? | 06:50 |
| simion314 | maddash: i belive i must send a bug report | 06:50 |
| EdwardXP | maddash, it works:) | 06:50 |
| gdreamweaver | davethedrake: any advice on what i should do in order to get sound...i feel retarded since alsamixer "sees" it but its still not good to go | 06:50 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: yes, scrolling usually works. | 06:50 |
| simion314 | maddash: but maybe this is known i will search | 06:50 |
| maverickAlex | Geoffrey2: sudo -i | 06:50 |
| maddash | simion314: you could, but for the near future, disable x screensaver | 06:50 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, sudo -i . But, does dsl use sudo? Open a terminal, type whoami | 06:50 |
| davidthedrake | gdreamweaver, have you ever had sound? | 06:51 |
| Bjornalf | gdreamweaver: is the PCM channel muted in alsamixer? | 06:51 |
| EdwardXP | i guess that echo cmd works i thought something else, -- how about addingh spacers in this thing, when i cat it.. its all bundled together | 06:51 |
| EdwardXP | maddash, is that asking too much? | 06:51 |
| maddash | simion314: if you just need to darken your screen, 'xset dpms force off' | 06:51 |
| gdreamweaver | davidthedrake: just in XP... | 06:51 |
| Ganjaman23 | i need the buttons again | 06:51 |
| _nix_ | EdwardXP: that what the "" were for.. try echo "`cal`" | 06:51 |
| maddash | simion314: blank*, not darken. | 06:51 |
| davidthedrake | gdreamweaver, I see, and you've double-clicked on the sound icon and ensured that everything is turned up | 06:51 |
| maddash | _nix_: " isn't necessary. this is bash, not javascript. | 06:51 |
| gdreamweaver | david: yessir | 06:51 |
| nickrud | Ganjaman23, can you move the windows around the screen with the mouse? | 06:52 |
| _nix_ | maddash: but without it the output is bundled in one line | 06:52 |
| Dark | I have a question...I just installed 7.10 (32bit), and I am unable to connect to the internet...PLEASE HELP | 06:52 |
| _nix_ | maddash: might try it urself | 06:52 |
| gdreamweaver | bjorn: pcm is turned all the way up | 06:52 |
| maddash | _nix_: I think the whole point is to get it into one line | 06:52 |
| _nix_ | maddash: oh.. k.. didn't knew that | 06:53 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, mount would be something like mount /dev/sda1 -t ext2 /mnt/mydrive ? | 06:53 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, yes, but you don't need mydrive , /mnt should already be there | 06:53 |
| maddash | _nix_: nvm, you're right. now I see what EdwardXP meant by, "spacers." | 06:54 |
| Geoffrey2 | nickrud, I'd actually want to mount the drive AS /mnt? | 06:54 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: use quotes, as _nix_ showed you. | 06:54 |
| _nix_ | maddash: :-) | 06:54 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, yes, when you cd /mnt you will see the ubuntu filesystem | 06:54 |
| gdreamweaver | dave: i think it might be something having to do with what ubuntu sees as the default device for sound | 06:54 |
| gdreamweaver | dave: it has my default device as INTEL but I am using a SigmaTel card | 06:55 |
| davidthedrake | gdreamweaver, Hrmm... | 06:55 |
| gdreamweaver | dave: any idea how I would go about changing that/ | 06:55 |
| Geoffrey2 | strange, the Rescue CD said don't ever do that because it'll freeze the whole system | 06:55 |
| gdreamweaver | ?* | 06:55 |
| Dark | Can someone please help me with my network issue? | 06:55 |
| nickrud | gdreamweaver, sigmatel is the hda intel chip iirc | 06:55 |
| Geoffrey2 | well, I'll give it a shot | 06:56 |
| Dark | cool | 06:56 |
| gdreamweaver | nick: rgr | 06:56 |
| _nix_ | Dark: try asking | 06:56 |
| plattypus1 | I'm having trouble getting the proprietary drivers working with an ATI Radeon X1200, the card needs the latest proprietary drivers and they just won't enable DRI. Any ideas are appreciated. | 06:56 |
| jones | anybody know how to change the dock icon for the main menu applet in AWN? it does not have a change icon when i right click it like the others. | 06:56 |
| Dark | i just installed 7.10 (32 bit), and I am unable to connect to the network or internet | 06:56 |
| maddash | plattypus1: fglrx? | 06:56 |
| gdreamweaver | nick: it just doesnt make sense that i dont get sound but ubuntu seems to see it | 06:56 |
| davidthedrake | gdreamweaver, I see that others have had issues with that particular card and Ubuntu | 06:56 |
| maddash | !ping | 06:56 |
| ubotu | pong | 06:56 |
| davidthedrake | gdreamweaver, I searched for sigmatel ubuntu in Google | 06:56 |
| _nix_ | Dark: is that ur first linux install? | 06:56 |
| davidthedrake | gdreamweaver, And found some results | 06:57 |
| davidthedrake | gdreamweaver, With some suggestions | 06:57 |
| gdreamweaver | dave: alright i will google it | 06:57 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, yup. Downloaded the latest, edited my xorg, etc. etc. (I've been using linux since '03) and yet still get MESA in glxinfo | 06:57 |
| Dark | no...i have ubuntu installed on the box i am using to talk right now | 06:57 |
| gdreamweaver | dave: i didn't necessarily put sigmatel and ubuntu together | 06:57 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, first time trying to use an ATI card with fglrx, I'm an nVidia guy mostly. | 06:57 |
| gdreamweaver | dave: thanks m8 | 06:57 |
| Geoffrey2 | mount tells me /dev/sda2 is not a valid block device | 06:57 |
| vb | I want to add the computer icon found in places in my AWN | 06:57 |
| maddash | plattypus1: okay. xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log, please. | 06:57 |
| _nix_ | Dark: oh.. k how do connect to the internet? router in between? | 06:57 |
| nickrud | gdreamweaver, once or twice, I've lost sound. (have a 3stack version). I went round and round, then on the second or third reboot it works. Works for many boots, then stops. it's a laptop, otherwise I'd get a sound card | 06:57 |
| davidthedrake | gdreamweaver, Sure thing, hope you find something that helps. | 06:57 |
| Dark | yes...desktop--router--cable modem | 06:58 |
| Dark | this box has no issues with it | 06:58 |
| Dark | but the one i just installed does | 06:58 |
| bazhang | what are you running on the this box Dark? | 06:59 |
| Dark | 7.10 | 06:59 |
| bazhang | and the other can't get ethernet, or wireless? | 06:59 |
| _nix_ | Dark: mind using the terminal for a while?? enter "ifconfig" to check out if you network card.. the thing your router connects with has been assigned an IP address | 06:59 |
| nickrud | plattypus1, I set up those new drivers once, had issues until I linked the new kernel module into volatile | 06:59 |
| MasterShrek | anyone know of a proggie to convert m4a's? | 07:00 |
| Geoffrey2 | sigh..... | 07:00 |
| * Geoffrey2 sighs | 07:00 | |
| maddash | MasterShrek: 'proggie'? | 07:00 |
| plattypus1 | nickrud, HOWTO anywhere? | 07:00 |
| MasterShrek | :) | 07:00 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, what, no mount? | 07:00 |
| maddash | !fglrx | 07:00 |

| vb | can I add places/compuer launcher in AWN ? | 07:00 |
| _nix_ | MasterShrek: m4a's to other formats? | 07:00 |
| MasterShrek | yea | 07:00 |
| Geoffrey2 | nickrud, mount is telling me my drive is not a valid block device | 07:00 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, xorg.conf is at paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48990 | 07:00 |
| Dark | no ip address though...only on my loopback | 07:01 |
| maddash | MasterShrek: ffmpeg. | 07:01 |
| _nix_ | MasterShrek: ffmpeg is good option.. not sure of any gui though | 07:01 |
| Dark | and that is a 127 address which is the local one | 07:01 |
| nickrud | plattypus1, I used this one: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide | 07:01 |
| maddash | whoa, cool, tablet | 07:01 |
| _nix_ | Dark: you'd have to assign an IP address to the card your router is connected with | 07:01 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, and the Xorg.0.log is at paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48991 | 07:01 |
| * Ganjaman23 is away: (autoaway · idle 10 mins) [e! on] | 07:01 | |
| MasterShrek | i dotn care about that, i can use command line just fine, just didnt know what to use, thx :) | 07:01 |
| Flannel | !away > Ganjaman23 | 07:01 |
| Dark | i wonder why...i didnt have to on this box | 07:01 |
| Dark | the NIC is set up for roaming, and it works great | 07:02 |
| _nix_ | Dark: you can try entering "sudo dhclient" for autoconfiguration | 07:02 |
| Dark | but on my other one...it doesnt | 07:02 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, but fdisk -l says all is ok? | 07:02 |
| maddash | plattypus1: you gave the same thing twice. | 07:02 |
| plattypus1 | nickrud, I think that site's down... which really, really sucks. :) | 07:02 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, Eeps... sorry 'bout that. | 07:02 |
| Dark | k...trying | 07:02 |
| nickrud | plattypus1, I just cut and pasted out of the location bar, never remember the page. I googled for it | 07:02 |
| maddash | plattypus1: anyway, it doesn't matter. change the identifier or 'aticonfig-monitor[0]' to "Default Screen" | 07:02 |
| Geoffrey2 | nickrud, fdisk -l says it can't open anything | 07:03 |
| Geoffrey2 | so apparently this O/S doesn't know what to do with a SATA drive either | 07:03 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, not a clue, if it doesn't see the drive ... | 07:03 |
| EdwardXP | echo "`cal`" " ` whoami` << -- if i do this it spaces' out | 07:03 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, knoppix | 07:03 |
| Dark | it says "no working leases in persistent database - sleeping | 07:03 |
| maddash | EdwardXP: #bash. | 07:03 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, I'll give it a shot. :) | 07:04 |
| Geoffrey2 | I was hoping to avoid a several hour download for a 5 minute (tops) fix, but I guess I just have to bite the bullet on this one | 07:04 |
| maddash | plattypus1: if you do, remove the existing "Default Screen" section | 07:04 |
| _nix_ | Dark: do you remember what IP address you used to get in the previous installations | 07:04 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, posted the corrected log file. | 07:05 |
| plattypus1 | 4992. | 07:05 |
| maddash | plattypus1: and change, "Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]" 0 0" to "Screen "Default Screen" 0 0" | 07:05 |
| * _nix_ seriously thinks that 7.10 was _pushed_ for release.. unlike 6.06 LTS | 07:05 | |
| Dark | i know what my "public" address is, but I have never set an IP for each of my desktops | 07:05 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, won't that set it back to the "Generic Device" and the vesa driver? | 07:05 |
| Geoffrey2 | of course, if I could just remember the full disable command to stick in the kernel line, I could just do that and avoid all this mess, sadly...I can't | 07:05 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2, sorta like buying that crescent wrench to turn that one screw :) | 07:05 |
| Dark | and the previous installation on the box in question was Win XP | 07:05 |
| maddash | plattypus1: "if you do, remove the existing 'Default Screen' section " | 07:06 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, Aye... your phrasing was a bit odd... sorry. | 07:06 |
| maddash | plattypus1: by the way, I haven't seen your log yet, but I think your problem might also be allowing composite to be enabled... | 07:06 |
| _nix_ | Dark: oh.. k. typically, the case is like this: you->router->internet where the router handles the internet part while allowing for sharing of the connection through different interfaces.. the internal LAN interfaces. | 07:07 |
| gouki | Any ideas on how to remove an entire page in OO? Del and backspace don't seem to work. | 07:07 |
| Dark | understood....I feel like this should be cake, as I am a network engineer...lol | 07:07 |
| rubydiamond | how to print from terminal vim | 07:08 |
| Dark | for some reason i dont think it is seeing my router | 07:08 |
| rubydiamond | or from shell | 07:08 |
| _nix_ | Dark: cool.. what did you have to do to connect from the XP box? | 07:08 |
| plattypus1 | rubydiamond, lpr filename | 07:08 |
| banzai | hi, real player for windows is bad (very intrusive), is the linux real player equally as bad? | 07:08 |

| fwaokda | im trying to get ubuntu installed on my flash drive... i've got the regular disk and it gets stuck after the loading screen. I have the alternate disk but i've just found out after 2 hrs it doesn't let me run it from the disk. how can i get ubuntu on my flash drive??? | 07:08 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, still no DRI love. | 07:08 |
| Dark | like i said...i didnt configure dhcp, etc...it was pretty much plug and play..same with my other ubuntu box | 07:08 |
| bazhang | pendrivelinux.com fwaokda | 07:09 |
| maddash | plattypus1: maybe I should have asked for the log first... | 07:09 |
| rubydiamond | plattypus1, nickrud thanks it worked :) | 07:09 |
| fwaokda | bazhang: went there and followed the steps but as i said the cd hangs at a black screen so im unable to do those steps | 07:09 |
| plattypus1 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48992 has it. | 07:09 |

| gouki | dORSY: Yep. The page has no more content left. Still, I'm not able to delete it | 07:10 |
| Dark | thats odd though...its the exact same release as this box | 07:10 |
| dORSY | don't delete...cut everything after it...then paste it a page upper... | 07:10 |
| gouki | dORSY: nop :S | 07:11 |

| backgen | hey guys it's me again...so after installing compiz...now the top bits of my windows have dissapeared again...and when i type in compiz --replace....it doesn't do anything...does anyone have any suggestions? | 07:12 |
| dORSY | gouki: and if you have space after the last paragraph..it will begin a new page..try to reduce the space after the last paragraph | 07:12 |
| MyOriginalAlias | lol okay can anyone tell me howto install screenlets I cant find the package name using apt-cache | 07:12 |
| Dark | could it be because i have 2 interfaces on my motherborard | 07:12 |
| Dark | board* | 07:12 |
| Grandslammaster | !restricted | 07:12 |

| _nix_ | Dark: not quite a possibility... dhcp was designed to work out of the box. | 07:12 |
| Dark | thats what i thought....hmmm | 07:13 |
| MyOriginalAlias | Grandslammaster: that was for me? | 07:13 |
| _nix_ | Dark: regardless of any or all interfaces the broadcast came from.. | 07:13 |
| maddash | plattypus1: this is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/824959 sigue el modelo. | 07:13 |
| astro76 | !screenlets | MyOriginalAlias | 07:13 |
| ubotu | MyOriginalAlias: Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ | 07:13 |
| gouki | dORSY: Also tried that. I finished at the middle of the 2nd page, however, the 3rd page was created and there is no way of getting it out of there | 07:13 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, you just assume that I speak spanish eh? :P | 07:14 |
| vb | can I add a computer icon on my AWN? | 07:14 |
| maddash | plattypus1: mostly pay attention to "Mode 0666," "Option DRI true" etc. | 07:14 |
| backgen | does anyone know how i can get the top panes of my windows back? | 07:14 |
| dORSY | gouki: open anew doc...copy everything into it... | 07:14 |
| MyOriginalAlias | astro76: So your answer is there is no package in apt it HAS to be built manually, thats the only way to install it | 07:14 |
| Ganjaman23 | i want my buttons back | 07:14 |
| Grandslammaster | no i wanted to know those urls i am having a problem geting youtube to work | 07:14 |
| _nix_ | Dark: you may want to check out the man pages for ifconfig and route if you can get it.. | 07:15 |
| astro76 | MyOriginalAlias, not my answer, but I have also deduced that from ubotu's response | 07:15 |
| === netdemon is now known as NeT_DeMoN | ||
| mindedc | I ask about CONFIG_LBD because I tried to create a 2Tb RAID 5 with XFS and while copying a few files to the new volume XFS took a dirt nap... | 07:15 |
| maddash | backgen: again? `x-window-manager --replace` | 07:15 |
| maddash | ? | 07:15 |
| MyOriginalAlias | astro76: well I tried building and got an error | 07:15 |
| Dark | looking now...i might try reseting my router to see if it will assign a IP address | 07:15 |
| ere4si | Grandslammaster, there is a plugin for firefox for that | 07:15 |
| dORSY | gouki: worked? | 07:16 |
| Grandslammaster | yea it dosent work | 07:16 |
| astro76 | MyOriginalAlias, it just says: Install as usual by extracting the contents of the screenlet's archive to the directory "$HOME/.screenlets". | 07:16 |
| theTrav | hello. I got a free iPod shuffle from work today. Anyone know if there's a iTunes alternative that I can use on ubuntu? | 07:16 |
| astro76 | MyOriginalAlias, http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Category:UserScreenlets | 07:16 |
| theTrav | that will be able to connect to the ipod I should say | 07:16 |
| _nix_ | Dark: a quick pill would be like: sudo ifconfig eth0 <internal-ip> up netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast <router-ip.last octec to 255> && sudo route add default gw <router-ip> | 07:16 |
| backgen | maddash: haha yes unfortunatly...ok let me try it...but then is this going to happen every time i run compiz? | 07:16 |
| === netdemon is now known as NeT_DeMoN | ||
| gouki | dORSY: Can't. The document has some sort of weird protection and it scrambles everything with I try to copy-paste anything. ... this ain't easy. | 07:16 |
| mindedc | I didn't know if I hit a bug or if 6.06 doesn't have large filesystem support... | 07:16 |
| MyOriginalAlias | maybe if I install !Beryl first, anyone know the package name for Beryl? | 07:16 |
| plattypus1 | theTrav, I'll tell you if you tell me what kind of office gives out free iPods. :) | 07:17 |
| backgen | maddash: oh wait if my window manager is compiz are you suggesting that i type in compiz --replace? because i've done that and it doesn't work | 07:17 |
| Grandslammaster | i think if you go to synaptic you can just type in ipod | 07:17 |
| _nix_ | Dark: and lastly editing the file /etc/resolv.conf for a nameserver.. usually the router's ip goes there as well | 07:17 |
| theTrav | heh, ok, I got it from ANZ, the bank that I was working on my last project for | 07:17 |
| plattypus1 | theTrav, gtkpod works well as a standalone application, and rhythmbox has good support IIRC. | 07:17 |
| maddash | backgen: no, verbatim | 07:17 |
| theTrav | they contracted us to do a fix job. They were happy with the work | 07:17 |

| backgen | maddash: verbatim? | 07:17 |
| maddash | backgen: or 'metacity --replace' | 07:17 |
| earlmred | fucking overhead with mdraid is lame. | 07:18 |

| theTrav | hmm, I have another thing. I've set up my ubuntu desktop with smb sharing, however whenever my winxp client (notebook) tries to connect to it it is prompted for password and doesn't accept any | 07:18 |

| earlmred | mindedc, i've got 4 500GB drives | 07:19 |
| MyOriginalAlias | astro76: interesting the readme that came in the tar.gz says to just to extract to any directory and type ¨make install¨ | 07:20 |
| mindedc | earlmred: Oh, yeah, software RAID with IDE sucks ass for CPU ... | 07:20 |
| backgen | maddash: yes except this time i'm running compiz instead of metacity | 07:20 |
| earlmred | mindedc, it's sata2 | 07:20 |

| ere4si | Grandslammaster, it works? | 07:20 |

| backgen | maddash: and now my Terminal is wierd, when i enter commands it doesn't do anything | 07:20 |
| Grandslammaster | yea | 07:20 |
| mindedc | earlmred: so you have 1.5 tb usable? | 07:20 |
| ere4si | k | 07:20 |
| maddash | backgen: good question. I know nothing about compiz. | 07:20 |
| my816797 | Does anyone know if it's possible to change the Ubuntu Install CD a bit, to install Ubuntu from the CD with some default files in the /root/ folder? | 07:20 |
| earlmred | mindedc, yep ... /dev/md0 1.6T 17G 1.5T 2% /home | 07:21 |
| Geoffrey2 | there's an application that allows Windows to read ext2 drives, right? | 07:21 |

| mindedc | earlmred: /dev/md2 1.9T 52G 1.8T 3% /localmedia | 07:22 |
| astro76 | xLE, you generally don't want to do that, but rather use sudo to copy files to the location | 07:22 |
| maddash | backgen: so you have nothing running besides a terminal? | 07:22 |
| ^root^ | my816797, i can give you exact links but you will have to wait | 07:23 |
| maddash | backgen: if so, ctrl+alt+bkspc | 07:23 |
| earlmred | mindedc, what filesystem are you using? | 07:23 |
| backgen | maddash: only firefox | 07:23 |
| dORSY | xLE: chmod 777 to a folder or chown user:group folder | 07:23 |
| Geoffrey2 | maddash, thanks...that's the solution then...the computer is set up to dual boot, Windows and Ubuntu...so, rather than download another linux O/S, just boot up Windows, then read the file on the ext2 drive... | 07:23 |
| backgen | maddash: ok so should i shut down firefox and do that? | 07:23 |
| xLE | astro76, i created my own command for coping files. | 07:23 |

| * littlebear72 does | 07:33 | |
| _nix_ | littlebear72: thanks.. | 07:33 |
| r3n0c | earlmred, ok lets see wat happens now | 07:33 |
| quaff | it is in gentoo livecd, suse livecd, but not ubuntu's livecd :/ | 07:33 |
| communized | maddash, can i pm you? i don't want to flood this error im getting | 07:33 |
| maddash | quaff: because the kernel you have doesn't have the driver installed | 07:33 |
| communized | well, its not a error | 07:33 |
| earlmred | mindedc, bad thing about reiser implementation on ubuntu, it replays the journal every damn boot ... | 07:33 |
| mindedc | _nix_: just got 3 1tb SATAs at frys for $250US each | 07:33 |
| earlmred | mindedc, which is /wrong/ | 07:33 |
| maddash | communized: fire away. or pastebin. | 07:33 |
| oldspice | i'm using my live cd right now and i'm on step 4, the partitioning part. i am able to modify and create only 1 new partition. how would i create /swap and /home? | 07:33 |
| mindedc | earlmred: thats one reason I went XFS... | 07:33 |
| earlmred | mindedc, but i haven't had any problems with it other than that. | 07:33 |
| quaff | maddash: so rebuild kernel time? thanks :) | 07:34 |
| mindedc | earlmred: had good luck with it.... | 07:34 |
| earlmred | mindedc, you could just throw ext2 up on it, probably be faster. | 07:34 |
| tijn | !fglrx | 07:34 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 07:34 |
| r3n0c | earlmred, ok well it appears to work now | 07:34 |
| earlmred | mindedc, you don't really need journaling on a raid5 anyways. | 07:34 |
| mindedc | earlmred: I have blown a journal on ext3 before so I am weary of that... | 07:34 |
| _nix_ | mindedc: lucky you man.. nice.. | 07:34 |
| r3n0c | earlmred, but i'm not sure why.... after i added the respisorities i didn't update anything | 07:34 |
| earlmred | r3n0c, apt-get update | 07:34 |
| mindedc | _nix_: thx... wife hasn't seen the visa bill yet :) | 07:34 |
| r3n0c | earlmred, some of the respositories fail | 07:35 |
| _nix_ | lol | 07:35 |
| earlmred | r3n0c, you're probably missing some keys. | 07:35 |
| xLE | how do i search for a file? find -name /dir/dir/ "file*" ? | 07:35 |
| littlebear72 | ooooohhh _nix_ | 07:35 |
| r3n0c | earlmred, yea, you have the ones for compiz, i uninstalled that | 07:35 |
| mindedc | earlmred: I may try that to see if it's an XFS problem or a kernel problem... | 07:35 |
| MyOriginalAlias | Does anyone know if any of the repositories have a package for screenlets? | 07:35 |
| ere4si | xLE, try locate (filename) | 07:35 |
| earlmred | mindedc, or just install freebsd and be done with it. | 07:35 |
| r3n0c | earlmred, thats aite tho, aslong as i can do javac i'm happy, trying to grade projects is so hard with eclipse | 07:35 |
| Geoffrey2 | ext2ifs says it needs an x86 processor, does that preclude AMD processors then? | 07:35 |
| xLE | ah ty | 07:36 |
| ere4si | k | 07:36 |
| earlmred | r3n0c, boo on eclipse :) | 07:36 |
| _nix_ | littlebear72: omg.. what is that supposed to mean.. what are you doing?? ;-) | 07:36 |
| earlmred | r3n0c, javac + vim ftw. | 07:36 |
| mindedc | earlmred: I read some stuff that indicated there were some bad performance problems with the software raid 5 in freebsd... | 07:36 |
| oldspice | when im partitioning my harddrive when using the live cd, is it normal for me to only make one more partition? "/". I can't create anymore after that such as /swap or /home. | 07:36 |
| littlebear72 | your not tellign yoru wife about that card _nix_ lol | 07:36 |
| communized | root@administrator-desktop:~# apt-get install -f | 07:36 |
| communized | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 07:36 |
| earlmred | mindedc, well, you could try solaris x86. | 07:36 |
| earlmred | mindedc, with zfs | 07:36 |
| communized | root@administrator-desktop:~# dpkg --configure -a | 07:36 |
| communized | root@administrator-desktop:~# | 07:36 |
| communized | did nothing | 07:36 |
| mindedc | earlmred: I used to have hardware raid5 on some megaraid, but scsi disks are too expensive. | 07:37 |
| earlmred | communized, you hit ctrl c in the middle of an install didn't you | 07:37 |
| mindedc | earlmred: HA! | 07:37 |
| maddash | Geoffrey2: yes. drivers are very sensitive to the architecture they're run on. you could try installing it, though. | 07:37 |
| communized | earlmred | 07:37 |
| communized | the install takes me to a configure screen | 07:37 |
| ere4si | oldspice, try making them logical partitions | 07:37 |
| mindedc | earlmredslowlaris would probably work | 07:37 |
| communized | which i can not do anything to finish it | 07:37 |
| communized | or get past | 07:37 |
| _nix_ | littlebear72: urm.. I don't have a wife.. thanks for the compliment though. :-) | 07:37 |
| communized | im doing sun | 07:37 |
| communized | java6-jre | 07:37 |
| earlmred | mindedc, i have friends running zfs who are real happy with it. | 07:37 |
| mindedc | earlmred: I couls also hook them up to my sparc 20 2x 50mhz :) | 07:38 |
| communized | guysh, i fixed. | 07:38 |
| communized | ty ]; | 07:38 |
| earlmred | but my only complaint with ubuntu is it replaying the journal on boot. | 07:38 |
| earlmred | mindedc, i don't think you're getting solaris 10 on that ;) | 07:38 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, guess I need to keep looking then | 07:38 |
| mindedc | earlmred: is that ubuntu only or does rhel have the same issue? | 07:38 |
| Xbehave | i cant use CF f none of my keybindings work, how can i get it to recognise windows + key combos? | 07:38 |
| mindedc | earlmred: actually, openBSD is 10x faster than solaris on that machine.... | 07:38 |
| backgen | anyone know how i can uninstall and reinstall compiz? | 07:38 |
| earlmred | mindedc, i'm not sure, but i saw some lists on the reiser dev lists talking about how distros were implementing it wrong. | 07:38 |
| littlebear72 | lol my bad i got that bit wrong lol [18:34;48] <mindedc> _nix_: thx... wife hasn't seen the visa bill yet :) was supposed to be mindedc | 07:39 |
| earlmred | mindedc, then netbsd would be 100x faster. | 07:39 |
| maddash | Geoffrey2: http://www.planetamd64.com/lofiversion/index.php?t11561.html | 07:39 |
| mindedc | earlmred: and no bitching from Theo :) | 07:39 |
| earlmred | mindedc, are you running mdadm --status? | 07:39 |
| earlmred | i'm trying to figure out how to get it to email me when a drive borks. | 07:39 |
| ere4si | Geoffrey2, amd is x86 | 07:40 |
| ere4si | like intel | 07:40 |
| earlmred | mindedc, heh it took me a full DAY to build the array and format completely | 07:40 |
| maddash | ere4si: amd64 is not. | 07:40 |
| mindedc | earlmred: not right now, I used to cat /proc/mdstat and had a cron job diff it against the current and email me if anything changed... | 07:40 |
| DragonSpirit | What can cause windows to come up with just blackness in them when you have visual effects toggled on | 07:40 |
| mindedc | earlmred: I had 3 raid 1 volumes in that config... | 07:40 |
| ere4si | maddash: yep | 07:40 |
| maddash | Geoffrey2: er, you're not running 64-bit, ar eyou? | 07:41 |
| jxxt | Geoffrey2, unless it is amd64 | 07:41 |
| maddash | Geoffrey2: if you're living on plain old 32-bit AMD, then ext2ifs is fine...like ere4si said, x86 is a subset of amd | 07:41 |
| mindedc | earlmred: christ, tell me about it... the WD drives I have are 5400 RPM, which is good for noise (can't hear the server when its on) | 07:41 |
| ScorpFromHell | is there anything that allows you to setup a netboot server that would copy disk images instead of using preseed files to setup systems? | 07:41 |
| earlmred | mindedc, gross =) | 07:41 |
| mindedc | earlmred: but building the raid took a solid day.. | 07:41 |
| earlmred | mindedc, i've got 4xseagate 7200.10s in the array, and then a 7200.11 boot | 07:42 |
| earlmred | mindedc, although thinking about it now, i should probably move /home off of the array, and onto the boot drive. | 07:42 |
| mindedc | earlmred: the two 160s are 7200.12s I think... good drives.. I have some WD800s that I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire... | 07:42 |
| mindedc | earlmred: I have /boot on a 256 meg CF card in a CF to IDE adapter and / is on the two 160s in RAID 1 | 07:43 |
| earlmred | mindedc, i've got 4 250GB drives sitting here, with a hardware raid card ... but my power supply will only spin up 3 of them =\ | 07:44 |
| earlmred | mindedc, so i guess i need to get a bigger psu =\ | 07:44 |
| JC_Denton_ | Do I need to restart svn somehow for the svn server to start accepting connections:? | 07:44 |
| sorrydaijin | can anyone point be in the right direction for how to increase the max volume in ubuntu. I can barely hear it when its maxed out atm. (I have already tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto) | 07:44 |
| mindedc | earlmred: That sucks :) or hotwire two PSUs together :) | 07:44 |
| earlmred | mindedc, 650W, 8800GTS 640MB, AMD 6400+, 4GB RAM, 5 hard drives ... | 07:44 |

| staykovmarin | hi i have a question in using photorec. is there a way to put the output on a different partition? | 07:46 |
| mindedc | earlmred: yeah really... I almost bought a dual xeon from ebay but I don't the the 12v rail in the psu would handle the load... | 07:46 |
| mindedc | earlmred: sweet setup... you need some industrial cooling for that rig :) | 07:46 |

| earlmred | mindedc, i'm thinking about rigging a rack up in one of my closets, i've got this big walk in, no power in there though ... | 07:51 |
| mindedc | earlmred: you just need a raised floor area in your aptment | 07:51 |
| plattypus1 | maddash, there's a simlink that needs to be made from /lib/modules/(kernel)/misc to /lib/modules/kernel/volatile and that simlink wasn't there. | 07:51 |

| plattypus1 | maddash, took some looking 'round, plus I had to grab a google-cached copy of a howto referred to by somebody else... Ugh... | 07:53 |

| yrlnry | Searching in synaptic for "ace" turns up too many false positives to be useful. | 07:56 |
| mindedc | yrlnry: yeah, I think it's unace... | 07:56 |
| yrlnry | Thanks. | 07:56 |
| ere4si | darryn: at the grub menu highlight the kernal you want to boot and press e - scroll down to the line that says "kernel" and press e - then type a space and then type quiet splash - hit enter then b for boot | 07:56 |
| earlmred | yrlnry, apt-get install unace | 07:56 |
| mindedc | yrlnry: the only time I have seen it referred to is where people are doing AV filtering and want to get EVERYTHING | 07:57 |
| darryn | um wats the grub menu | 07:57 |
| yrlnry | mindedc: Sorry, I can't understand that. | 07:57 |

| mindedc | yrlnry: specifically where the av filter need to unpack all the binaries and run scanning on it.... | 07:59 |

| mindedc | earlmred: uname -a: Linux leviathan 2.6.15-26-server | 08:06 |
| ere4si | darryn: when you boot there is the grub menu - one option is rescue kernel - but you need the root password to do repairs | 08:07 |
| earlmred | mindedc, i'd almost compile from kernel.org source ... | 08:07 |
| earlmred | mindedc, make sure you're getting the latest xfs and such | 08:07 |

| Dark | my router sees my new box, but i am not getting an IP address from it | 08:08 |
| balleyne | Dark: sudo dhclient - that may help, it requests an IP from the command line | 08:08 |
| Dark | i can see the MAC address of my computer in my router..so I know layer 2 seems to be working | 08:08 |
| ere4si | darryn: did you md5 the disk before install to hard drive | 08:08 |

| darryn | md5? | 08:09 |
| Dark | already tried it...doesnt work | 08:09 |
| ere4si | darryn: and did you burn the disk at a slow speed? | 08:09 |
| david__ | any one have web server runing here | 08:09 |
| bulmer | Dark-> you tried dhclient eth0 assuming your nic is eth0 | 08:09 |

| bulmer | Dark-> try ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 | 08:11 |
| bulmer | as root | 08:11 |
| ere4si | darryn: md5 is the way to check the disk before you install to makke sure it is ok - have you got to the desktop ever? | 08:11 |

| t-Omicr0n | poppy75: wireless network cards almost never support wake-on-lan, the best solution I can think of is to connect your desktop with a lan cable | 08:12 |

| Dark | bulmer i have tried that | 08:14 |
| darryn | i also have a cd that i orderd in the mail that did the same thing | 08:14 |

| MyOriginalAlias | Will someone please help me find a ubuntu package for screenlets? I tried converting the rpm with slien but it didnt work | 08:16 |
| t-Omicr0n | poppy75: I see, then you could buy a wifi card that does support Wol (search google - realtek for example) or some wireless-to-wired bridge (search google, I don't know if this even exists) | 08:16 |
| Dark | bulmer my network set up is fine, as this box works, and the box in question works with the live CD | 08:16 |

| darryn | than no no rescue option | 08:32 |
| Cyber_Stalker | so that i can see what one i need to mount | 08:33 |
| balleyne | Cyber_Stalker: fdisk -l | 08:33 |
| Dark | that file doesnt have anything in it other than what i told you...unless it is hidden | 08:33 |
| balleyne | Cyber_Stalker: you might need a sudo... | 08:33 |

| bulmer | balleyne-> okay..that feature isnt available on my dapper | 08:34 |
| andrej | Is there an easy way to retrieve packages for a version I don't have installed? I've installed my brother in law a dapper 6.06.01 server (running 7.04 myself). He's on dial-up, and I'd like to d/l the packages he needs to get on my broadband and burn them onto CD | 08:35 |

| tom__ | hey guys the driver for my wireless card that comes with ubuntu is borked. there is a source for another driver in the repos, i just don't really know how to install it. is there a guide for compiling/installing wireless drivers? | 08:35 |
| balleyne | bulmer: ah, that would make sense, there were some significant changes to the wireless setup (nm-applet I believe, maybe more) in feisty | 08:35 |
| Cyber_Stalker | because i unmounted it | 08:35 |
| Cyber_Stalker | balleyne: | 08:35 |
| Dark | bulmer any ideas? | 08:35 |
| darryn | thats ok thnx for tryin man | 08:35 |
| Cyber_Stalker | sudo mount -l /dev/sda5 /mnt/c | 08:35 |
| ere4si | k | 08:35 |
| bulmer | Dark-> you can setup your /etc/network/interfaces file manually, google for one sample | 08:36 |
| balleyne | Cyber_Stalker: 1) you should be using ntfsmount instead of mount, I believe, if you want to be able to write to the disk; 2) Are you sure it's not mounted already? Can you see the disk on your desktop? It may have automounted.. | 08:36 |

| jaggz | when installing it it asks to install the bootloader (in the advanced box) and defaults to (hd0) -- but my first drive would be (sda) and, actually, it's a raid mirror (sda and sdb) which ubuntu is recognizing as two separate drives | 08:38 |

| Dark | bulmer well...after googleing it, the "default" setup is exactly what I have | 08:39 |
| newbie-ubu | not really cos apt-get dont have the file in it i need to add reposotories but the repo is not htere | 08:39 |

| balleyne | newbie-ubu: Dapper is old, but it's still supported. What are you trying to do? Update the listings from the repositories, or add a new repository? | 08:40 |
| andrew[andrboot] | @ newbie-ubu which version of ubuntu. because 7.10 has it built in | 08:40 |

| bulmer | Dark-> umm believe me, to make it work, there is more | 08:41 |
| darryn | its ok lol ill jus keep plugin away at it maybe ill stumble into sumthin | 08:41 |
| Dark | bulmer when i do a "cat /etc/network/interfaces" there are only 2 lines | 08:41 |
| newbie-ubu | i added the new repo i needed and it was a dead repo so i thought it might be possible to tell apt-get to look at a different location for its repos but i realise thats a daft idea and unlikely to be realistic | 08:41 |
| bulmer | Dark-> are you on liveCD or your installed one? | 08:41 |
| balleyne | usrl: don't take my word for it because I haven't tried, but I've read that it's more different to put Windows on second than vice-versa, in other words I'm not sure that Windows has great "don't use the entire disk" or "respect existing operating systems" features on the installer | 08:41 |
| usrl | balleyne: I know. | 08:42 |
| MrDaytonaMan | Is anybody here from Florida? | 08:42 |
| newbie-ubu | so now i would like to know a slightly different thing and can you tell me if i add a repo for edgey eft instead of dapper can i still use that for the file ntfs3 | 08:42 |
| Dark | bulmer right now, i am on the live cd...but the installed version says the exact same thing as the live cd | 08:42 |
| balleyne | usrl: maybe you could try using a tool like GParted to setup a partition for Windows ahead of time? not sure if that would help or not... again, just guessing | 08:42 |

| usrl | balleyne: I know about GParted, I was asking if anyone had a guide so I wouldn't have to guess. I appreciate you trying to help, but if I was going to go off guesses and hope I'd just do it myself | 08:43 |
| Dark | bulmer no...infact, i am booting to the installed version right now to double check | 08:43 |
| andrej | RealTek : why don't you just say what your problem is? | 08:43 |
| Myrtti | usrl: well, basically the dualboot is adviced to to in the order of windows and then ubuntu, since windows doesn't like to coexists with any other os | 08:44 |
| jaggz | usrl, install windows and then you can try to use windows to boot linux, or use linux to boot windows (grub or lilo still I presume) | 08:44 |
| Myrtti | usrl: it overwrites your mbr | 08:44 |
| RealTek | andrej: Heya, anyone upgrade to the 2.6.22 kernel on Gutsy, it has caused a bit of a dilemma. I tend to blame the kernel on all my problems because it's the most sophisticated element in the system, but Gutsy locks on logon, although it works fine in root(recovery) | 08:44 |

| Myrtti | I've got a feeling ther used to be a better factoid for that | 08:45 |
| balleyne | newbie-ubu: /etc/apt/sources.list - you can tell it to look at whatever repositories you want, is that what you're trying to do? | 08:45 |

| osfameron | gah. Wireless at work doesn't like my ubuntu. Sometimes the network manager claims that there is no network connection and takes down my eth1. (Doesn't happen at home wireless, or anywhere else) | 08:48 |

| * osfameron reboots, because, er, that works, and he doesn't know how else to fix it | 08:48 | |
| friedtofu | timandtom: did you forward your ports? - my utorrent is decent | 08:48 |
| Dark | bulmer looking again | 08:48 |
| ere4si | Geoffrey2, if you change it a backup is made - in nautilus click edit then show hidden files | 08:48 |
| andrej | zetheroo : I'll have some; got to get a printer on Ubuntu to work for a win98 machine, and don't know how. File-sharing works fine | 08:48 |
| jaggz | okay.. but aside from that, since I"m not installing the boot loader, how can I boot my system once the install is done? | 08:48 |
| timandtom | erUSUL: So probably just a crappy torrent then? Some of the seeds say they are uploading @16kb/s, but I'm not getting above about 10kb/s | 08:49 |
| zetheroo | andrej: well I am trying to get it working between two gutsy machines | 08:49 |

| tich | jaggz, yes i won't. did you do an update today? | 08:49 |

| finchx6 | anyone who might be able to help me get my sound working??lol. I've found numerous sites explaining how, but i can't get them to work | 08:50 |
| timandtom | 12 seeds, 37 peers. 10kb/s down, 40kb/s up | 08:50 |
| Guza | what is the most secure FS | 08:50 |
| timandtom | my internet can handle a LOT more then that | 08:50 |
| timandtom | not just in tests, but in practice | 08:50 |
| bulmer | Dark-> it will be something like iface eth0 inet dhcp | 08:50 |
| jaggz | Guza, probably one of the BSD's | 08:50 |
| Guza | heh | 08:51 |
| zetheroo | I get this error when I try to Verify a printer on the network :This print share is not accessible. | 08:51 |

| jaggz | but a while back there were some really lame performance issues with a few versions of them.. but that was years ago now | 08:51 |
| Unrealantidote | ? | 08:51 |
| ralth | Is there a way to revert to the sound drivers installed with 7.10? | 08:51 |
| jaggz | the most secure ubuntu?? | 08:51 |
| ere4si | timandtom, seeds to peers | 08:51 |
| friedtofu | timandtom: meh, thats just the way bittorrent works - ... usually the longer you leave it the faster it goes - and i consider 20-30 KB/s good speed ... >.> lol... but you can get to higher levels if enough people ul to you | 08:51 |
| Guza | no | 08:51 |
| Guza | file system | 08:51 |
| Guza | ext2 3 etc | 08:51 |
| jaggz | secure file system? never thought of them that way | 08:51 |
| jaggz | oh.. secure as in.. reliable | 08:51 |
| timandtom | ere4si: Yup, but still, i can handle way more then that, so i dont think that that the peers are bringing it down much | 08:52 |
| Guza | i must not lose my data | 08:52 |
| timandtom | friedtofu: :P Ha, I got Ubuntu via a torrent once... 1mb/s | 08:52 |

| Guza | so i need very stable FS | 08:52 |
| jaggz | ext3 is pretty darn developed nowadays.. I'm going with it for mine over reiser, even though reiser is really efficient in many ways.. I just think ext3 is more tried and tested | 08:52 |

| Dark | bulmer yeah, i tried to change it to that earlier, and it didnt work | 08:52 |
| jaggz | but I'm not an expert on this | 08:52 |
| ere4si | timandtom, the upload limit the seeders have is taken up because there are more peers | 08:52 |
| jaggz | by any means | 08:52 |
| friedtofu | timandtom: your 'net and mine are extremely polar | 08:52 |
| mechanicus01 | i only see folders | 08:52 |

| jaggz | I think it's been put through a lot and is the most used, and therefore the most tested, developed, and cleaned up, as far as these fs's go | 08:57 |
| Guza | is more faster than ext3 | 08:57 |
| darryn | i did manage to log in on the root | 08:57 |
| Dark | bulmer so i would add the eth0 stuff below the lo stuff..right? | 08:57 |
| jaggz | maybe there's some awesome one by some commercial unix vendor, but I don't know | 08:57 |
| ere4si | darryn: you need to google for the install instructions for you hardware then - what is the comp - should have asked earlier :) | 08:58 |
| Unrealantidote | luke-jr: hmm, guess i could try one driver and then the other if the first doesnt work | 08:58 |

| Unrealantidote | luke-jr: you have a link to snatch files from? | 08:58 |
| Dark | bulmer yes i did...infact, i am looking at a few pages right now | 08:58 |
| Guza | watch this | 08:58 |
| darryn | cept a faulty ram stik | 08:58 |
| luke-jr | Unrealantidote: for the first, just make sure your kernel is at least 2.6.17 | 08:58 |
| darryn | but thats gone | 08:58 |
| Guza | http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/calish_filesys.html | 08:58 |
| bulmer | Dark-> those samples would show that.. | 08:58 |
| ere4si | darryn: motherboard cpu etc is what you need to ask google for\ | 08:59 |
| luke-jr | http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 08:59 |
| jaggz | I'll try.. running on a ubuntu install cd right now :) | 08:59 |
| Unrealantidote | luke-jr: it is the latest version of ubuntu....whatever that is | 08:59 |
| luke-jr | Unrealantidote: that's nice. Ubuntu has two "latest" versions, and I don't use either | 08:59 |
| Unrealantidote | luke-jr: I just downloaded it | 08:59 |
| Dark | bulmer the "samples" i am looking at have either or | 08:59 |
| luke-jr | uname -a will tell you what kernel version | 08:59 |
| jaggz | oh.. 'read' this.. ? :) | 08:59 |
| Guza | :D | 08:59 |
| Unrealantidote | luke-jr: I am sure it has an updated kernal | 08:59 |
| bulmer | Dark-> try them both and get the feel for what happens.. | 09:00 |
| darryn | my processor is an intel pentium d and the motherboard came in a combo pak | 09:00 |
| Dark | bulmer will do...trying | 09:00 |
| darryn | i cant imagine ubuntu having problems wit that | 09:00 |
| Dark | bulmer and by the way..thanks for helping me out so far | 09:00 |
| Geoffrey2 | ere4si, problem being, ubuntu won't boot, period...so I'm trying to fix my problem by reading the drive from Windows, and reading a backed up menu.lst file, which doesn't seem to exist | 09:00 |
| luke-jr | Unrealantidote: the other possibility is rt2x00; didn't find any good sites about it, but apparently Ubuntu supports it | 09:00 |
| bulmer | Dark no problem..i think you are getting close..dont want to spoil the fun of learning it by trying | 09:01 |
| Dark | bulmer ah..you are one of THOSE people...lol | 09:01 |
| ere4si | Geoffrey2, nothing with a ~menu.lst? | 09:01 |

| jaggz | Guza: I kinda wish I could comfortably use reiserfs | 09:03 |
| train | well its synaptic | 09:03 |
| train | I dont know what else I could do to make things go right | 09:03 |
| Zenerek | well i was gonna tell Dark the same thing except i did not know the name of the netwroking service...who knew it would be that simple name | 09:04 |
| luke-jr | train: "installing Flash" is what you're doing wrong ☺ | 09:04 |
| train | does the md5sum error mean there is something wrong witht he file I have? | 09:04 |

| GeorgeA | is there an ogre3d .deb package somewhere? | 09:06 |
| Dark | bulmer well...i am truly stuck....i cant get it to connect | 09:06 |
| jaggz | I'm gonna use ext3 I think.. after reading the article I'm probably going to stick with it | 09:07 |
| jaggz | with ext3 | 09:07 |
| Guza | :) | 09:07 |
| === nicetail________ is now known as head____________ | ||
| Guza | of course | 09:07 |
| jaggz | I am using a lot of small files.. but I'm moving away from that to try SQL | 09:07 |
| jaggz | which is scary for me :) | 09:07 |
| Dark | bulmer trying one other thing | 09:07 |
| Guza | hehehehehhee | 09:07 |
| jaggz | because I'm aware of the differences in caching | 09:07 |
| bulmer | Dark are you even getting any ip address at all? | 09:07 |
| jaggz | but with our new servers and the amount of ram it shouldn't matter I think | 09:07 |
| luke-jr | jaggz: SQL isn't a filesystem anyhow | 09:08 |
| luke-jr | yet | 09:08 |
| Guza | how much ram u have | 09:08 |
| Guza | now | 09:08 |
| jaggz | of course it's not | 09:08 |
| Dark | bulmer when i restart networking, it tries to get an ip address from my router...but never seems to get one | 09:08 |
| train | okay got it installed adobe flash installer 1 synaptic 0 | 09:08 |
| jaggz | I was discussing my reason for fs choices.. many small files are my way of storing a lot of data | 09:08 |
| luke-jr | train: boo | 09:08 |
| Zenerek | does anyone know to change that screen after grub?you know the one where your services are being loaded, i would have found a tut but i don't know what the screen is called. | 09:09 |
| jaggz | useful because the oft-hit ones stay cached, and the others are out of the way | 09:09 |
| luke-jr | train: now to uninstall it | 09:09 |
| train | gotta have my youtube fix luke-jr | 09:09 |
| === databuddy is now known as starscalling | ||
| train | neva | 09:09 |
| luke-jr | train: Adobe products exist for destroying | 09:09 |
| jaggz | yet, the oft-hit ones also keep their various other bits of data adjacent, and therefore also more often in the cached blocks | 09:09 |
| andrew[andrboot] | mm. | 09:09 |
| train | yeah now to install photoshop | 09:09 |
| luke-jr | using Adobe is no better than using Microsoft | 09:09 |
| jaggz | when we switch to sql, storing these in there is going to disassociate the records from each other, flattening the field and being more wasteful of memory | 09:10 |
| jaggz | I don't yet have a solution for it | 09:10 |
| train | what would you have me do | 09:10 |
| jaggz | but I hope with enough memory the caching will account for it | 09:10 |
| bulmer | Dark-> well i dont know why your dhcp server is not dolling out one to your pc. | 09:10 |
| train | gnash? | 09:10 |
| Guza | uff | 09:10 |
| train | for some reason that terd didn't work either | 09:10 |
| luke-jr | train: refuse to use websites wanting Flash | 09:10 |
| Guza | what are u running on servers? | 09:10 |
| jaggz | if there were some way of telling SQL to keep the data close together.. maybe that would work.. or if I could have a million tables -- then maybe that's the solution | 09:10 |
| Dark | bulmer well..my router sees the mac address of my box | 09:10 |
| luke-jr | Guza: Gentoo and Debian here | 09:11 |
| jaggz | but I don't know if I can reasonably have millionS of tables | 09:11 |
| train | yeah good luck with that | 09:11 |
| jaggz | Guza, they're web servers.. data's being served from flat text files and Berkeley DBs | 09:11 |
| luke-jr | jaggz: you most certainly can't have millions of files | 09:11 |
| jaggz | hundreds of thousands of them | 09:11 |
| Guza | aham | 09:11 |
| Dark | bulmer trying one other thing....i will disconnect for a sec, but will be right back | 09:11 |
| jaggz | right now it's about a half million files | 09:12 |
| Guza | how much web servers you have | 09:12 |
| Geoffrey2 | luke-jr, well then I have no idea what happened, because the optional parameter that allowed ubuntu to boot existed in the menu.lst file before the last bug fix for the kernel two or so days ago, now it's not appearing in either menu.lst file, and Ubuntu won't boot at all..... | 09:12 |
| jaggz | one server dishes it all out.. the service is coded in C "so" it's very efficient | 09:12 |
| luke-jr | Geoffrey2: btw, menu.lst is obsolete; grub.conf replaced it | 09:12 |
| jaggz | and the way I designed the db access is efficient | 09:12 |
| Guza | do u think to make clusters | 09:12 |
| jaggz | but it's not efficient for backing up or running through all the data which requires jumping to tons of files.. | 09:12 |
| jaggz | no need for clusters yet | 09:13 |
| Guza | if u have problems with resource u will need | 09:13 |
| _Casey_ | i need a dvd player for my ubuntu | 09:13 |
| luke-jr | jaggz: filesystems are not designed to handle millions of small files in one place | 09:13 |
| jaggz | then I also make some other optimizations, like generating a single file of the main page (the most frequently accessed page) of a section | 09:13 |
| _Casey_ | whats the best | 09:14 |
| luke-jr | jaggz: databases are | 09:14 |
| Geoffrey2 | well, in either case, until I track down wherever I found the workaround for the kernel bug, Ubuntu's not loading on my computer at all....sigh.... | 09:14 |
| jaggz | then just one file is hit and displayed, without having to hundreds of DB lookups | 09:14 |
| _Casey_ | totem movie player cant play my dvd | 09:14 |
| Neronious | what is the name of the screen that pops up after GRUB but before the login screen it has a loading bar and says Ubuntu or Kubuntu? | 09:14 |
| luke-jr | _Casey_: you assume there are any good DVD players ☺ | 09:14 |
| Casey | vlc player ftw | 09:15 |
| jaggz | luke, they're distributed, clustered in groups of 1000 directories, each containing from 3 to 5 files (sometimes more) | 09:15 |
| _Casey_ | well i need one to play this movie ;x | 09:15 |
| luke-jr | jaggz: db is designed to handle it | 09:15 |
| jaggz | but it's awful to jump through these files.. so that's exactly why I'm moving it to a unified DB | 09:15 |
| jaggz | but, consider a messageboard site storing posts | 09:15 |
| jaggz | consider them having hundreds of thousands of messageboards | 09:15 |
| === head____________ is now known as maddash | ||
| zetheroo | ok I got print sharing to work.... was there someone who needed help with that here? | 09:15 |
| luke-jr | _Casey_: technically, anything for Ubuntu that *can* play your DVD is probably illegal (in the US) | 09:15 |
| jaggz | when you hit one board, how are the messages stored? | 09:15 |
| jaggz | how *should* they be stored? | 09:16 |

| _Casey_ | i just want to watch my movie | 09:16 |
| luke-jr | _Casey_: your movie's producers don't want you to unless you let them own your computer | 09:16 |
| jaggz | ugh | 09:16 |
| _Casey_ | no, i can stick my dvd in a windows comp and use it | 09:16 |
| luke-jr | _Casey_: because Windows lets them own your computer | 09:17 |
| andrew[andrboot] | exactly :) | 09:17 |

| === oedibleoedipus is now known as xipietotec | ||
| luke-jr | _Casey_: there are programs that will automagically crack your DVD's encryption though, to play it in Ubuntu | 09:18 |
| luke-jr | but they are illegal in the US | 09:18 |
| jaggz | new software protection things are now reminding me of not being much better than being hacked.. but hopefully they don't pick on the small guy who's just trying to live. | 09:18 |
| luke-jr | that said, I've never heard of anyone enforcing it | 09:18 |
| jaggz | I've played my DVDs using xine | 09:18 |
| jaggz | I like it too | 09:18 |
| jaggz | very good with its forward-backward with ctrl/alt/shift adjustment for # of seconds | 09:18 |
| _Casey_ | i need to crack it then? hmm | 09:18 |
| luke-jr | _Casey_: a human can't crack it | 09:19 |
| luke-jr | programs can do so fairly quick | 09:19 |
| _Casey_ | no i need the program i mean | 09:19 |
| luke-jr | yeah | 09:19 |
| Romes | alright... I'm sure you hate these questions... but... my wifi card isn't working, so I tried to install the linux driver found on the ASUS site, which didn't work. Then I tried to install ndiswrapper... which also didn't work. So I finally cracked and came here :P | 09:19 |
| Geoffrey2 | _Casey_, actually, the simple solution is to install libdvdcss | 09:19 |
| _6StringKng_ | is there a 2.3.1 .deb of Pidgin for Gutsy yet? | 09:19 |
| JakeConnor | is it possible to setup apache to accept putting a file on the server from http with a user name and password that's in a htaccess file? basically i want to setup a quick program that uploads a file to a http address (http://myhost.com/uploads/youraccount/) and protect it with a user name and password setup via htaccess, is this possible with just apache? | 09:19 |
| kakoonia | hey, is there anyone here with a ATI X1950 PRO - AGP graphics card, that could install it proparely, and enabled Desktop Effects? | 09:19 |
| luke-jr | most movie players for Linux have it integrated | 09:19 |
| luke-jr | kakoonia: I think you need to wait another year for that, sorry | 09:19 |
| jaggz | xine plays almost everything I throw at it :) | 09:19 |
| Romes | I know saying "it didn't work" is vague, but I don't want to start spouting error info unless someone here is listening :P | 09:20 |
| luke-jr | jaggz: yeah, by cracking it first ☺ | 09:20 |
| jaggz | including when I installed windows codecs so it can play .wmv files too now | 09:20 |
| jaggz | I don't think it handles the little movies that come from my old cell phone though. | 09:20 |

| the-trav | hmm. messing with wireless, I can see my target network on the list, and when I select it I get prompted for a wireless key, however when I enter it and click connect, it tries for a while and then just stops | 09:36 |
| the-trav | unfortunately it doesn't tell me why it has stopped | 09:37 |
| the-trav | anyone know if that would be logged somewhere I can get at? | 09:37 |
| revilodraw | the-trav; have u tried the forums? also, check u r using the right type of encryption (ie 128bit, etc) | 09:38 |
| the-trav | revilodraw, I checked the encryption, 128 bit hex, WEP open system | 09:38 |
| the-trav | ahh found it | 09:39 |
| the-trav | syslog | 09:39 |
| flibberdy | can anyone tell me if there's some magic command to get my intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG to appear as a network device? | 09:39 |
| the-trav | association took to long (>60s), failing activation | 09:39 |
| flibberdy | at the moment, iwconfig doesn't show the card at all | 09:39 |
| MasterShrek | flibberdy, i think you need firmware for it, try the restricted drivers manager | 09:39 |
| flibberdy | MasterShrek: I'm new to ubuntu (a gentoo vet though), what's the restricted drivers manager? | 09:40 |
| revilodraw | i have an inspiron with an x1400 graphics card; will desktop effects be impossible for me? | 09:40 |
| MasterShrek | flibberdy, its ubuntu's way of installing proprietary drivers and stuff, im on slackware atm, but i think its under system > administration | 09:40 |

| mechanicus01 | hello everybody how do i "run" make to initialize asterisk? | 09:44 |
| flibberdy | david, cd /var/www ? | 09:45 |
| mechanicus01 | i am trying to install asterisk 1.4.16 on Ubuntu | 09:45 |
| MasterShrek | !info asterisk | 09:45 |
| ubotu | asterisk: Open Source Private Branch Exchange (PBX). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.4.10~dfsg-1 (gutsy), package size 2033 kB, installed size 5264 kB | 09:45 |

| ActySofts | hello everyone | 09:45 |
| mechanicus01 | macd | 09:46 |
| revilodraw | is it possible to use my laptop hotkeys on the front of my laptop to control exaile? | 09:46 |
| ActySofts | well, I'm the one with the sound problems: If I try to use any piece of software to change the volume or mute/unmute any channels, I can't, because the volume is locked at 100% for everything ad PCM is muted (and locked), thus I have no sound (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48936/); I'm using Gutsy | 09:46 |
| flibberdy | revilodraw: does dmesg say anything when you press the hotkeys? | 09:46 |
| mechanicus01 | master_of_master enable it where? | 09:46 |
| MasterShrek | mechanicus01, system > administration > software sources | 09:46 |
| revilodraw | flibberdy: what is dmesg? | 09:47 |
| revilodraw | actysofts: check u r using the right sound device | 09:47 |
| flibberdy | revilodraw: it's a way of checking system output messages | 09:47 |
| ActySofts | revilodraw: I am | 09:47 |
| flibberdy | revilodraw: type: dmesg | 09:48 |
| ActySofts | I only got one, by onboard sound card is disabled from the bios | 09:48 |
| flibberdy | revilodraw: then press a key, and then run dmesg again, note any differences | 09:48 |
| flibberdy | s/key/hotkey | 09:48 |
| revilodraw | flibberdy; nope, no differences | 09:48 |
| flibberdy | that makes it a little bit trickier.. gimme a sec to check an old howto I have | 09:49 |
| david__ | i go to var www but i cant delete the apaice ones | 09:50 |
| MasterShrek | revilodraw, open a terminal and type xev mouse over the box that pops up and start hitting hotkeys, see if the messages in the terminal show keycodes for those keys, if so, note which keycodes go with which keys, then let me know | 09:50 |
| musikgoat | hi, server side, anyone know if you can just limit root access via ssh to only with a private key exchange? other users should still be able to access with no changes? I know of the apache.conf setting for blocking root, any suggestions for this? | 09:51 |
| flibberdy | revilodraw: check out the guide to using xev at: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys I know it's gentoo but the basic concepts are the same ( i hope) | 09:52 |
| mechanicus01 | master_of_master where do i access the apt get it? | 09:52 |
| MasterShrek | mechanicus01, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install asterisk | 09:53 |
| flibberdy | by the dark one, it takes a long time to compile and package up a kernel in ubuntu :/ | 09:53 |
| ActySofts | If I try to use any piece of software to change the volume or mute/unmute any channels, I can't, because the volume is locked at 100% for everything ad PCM is muted (and locked), thus I have no sound (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48936/); I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) BTW. | 09:53 |
| david__ | 13 any one can help me i am var www but i dont have permasion to delter put my | 09:53 |
| flibberdy | david__: sudo <whatever commands you want to use> | 09:54 |
| punkshui | Anyone familiar with gnome power management? I"m having battery recognition problems | 09:54 |
| mechanicus01 | master_of_master tis now installing... :) | 09:54 |
| MasterShrek | ActySofts, just humor me and put your user in the audio group then log out and back in, i doubt its gonna work, but worth a shot | 09:54 |
| MasterShrek | mechanicus01, my name is MasterShrek :) good news though :) | 09:54 |
| david__ | flibberdy i cant understand can you exply | 09:55 |
| ActySofts | MasterShrek: it is there.... | 09:55 |
| flibberdy | david__: type: sudo su | 09:55 |
| musikgoat | david__: sudo rm /var/www/fileyouwanttodelete | 09:55 |
| MasterShrek | hrm | 09:55 |
| MasterShrek | ActySofts, i got nothin then... | 09:55 |
| david__ | sudo su not found it | 09:56 |
| david__ | coman not found | 09:56 |
| david__ | comand not found | 09:56 |
| Geoffrey2 | whew....I finally found the command, hpet=disable, that I need to load ubuntu | 09:56 |
| Scusio | when i start the ubuntu live cd 6.06 and 7.10 it stops booting at the 2nd line: "Mounting boot...." | 09:56 |
| flibberdy | david__: what about sudo touch test ? | 09:56 |
| Geoffrey2 | now, where do I need to place that kernel option so that it'll be used every time, even if a new kernel is installed? | 09:57 |
| ActySofts | sudo su? don't use 'su' with 'sudo' | 09:57 |
| flibberdy | ActySofts: gives you a root prompt | 09:57 |
| flibberdy | saves me quite a lot of excess typing | 09:57 |
| sunogbaga | su - switch user | 09:58 |
| ActySofts | root is disabled by def, use 'sudo -i' to get root | 09:58 |
| MasterShrek | Geoffrey2, /boot/grub/menu.list (or menu.lst cant remeber if theres an i or not) youll probably have to add the parameter manually whenever a new kernel is installed | 09:58 |
| david__ | apache2-default can remove | 09:58 |
| dyce | hey, anyone familiar with mini images for games? (virtual cds and stuff) | 09:58 |
| _6StringKng_ | compiled Pidgin, ran ./configure, make, sudo make install, then got this error | 09:58 |
| _6StringKng_ | coty@6StringKng-Laptop:~/Desktop/pidgin-2.3.1$ pidgin | 09:59 |
| _6StringKng_ | pidgin: error while loading shared libraries: libpurple.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 09:59 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, someone was telling me menu.lst was obsolete and had been replaced by something else..... | 09:59 |
| _6StringKng_ | start up manager | 09:59 |
| MasterShrek | _6StringKng_, why did you compile it from source? | 09:59 |
| MasterShrek | Geoffrey2, i dont think so, but i dont know for sure i guess, i dont use ubuntu anymore | 09:59 |
| _6StringKng_ | because I couldn't find a deb | 09:59 |
| sunogbaga | _6StringKng_: y install from source, when u couldve sudo apt-get install pidgin | 09:59 |
| musikgoat | _6StringKng_: install pidgin-dev i believe | 09:59 |
| MasterShrek | !info pidgin | 10:00 |
| ubotu | pidgin: graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.2.1-1ubuntu4.1 (gutsy), package size 589 kB, installed size 1720 kB | 10:00 |
| _6StringKng_ | I want 2.3.1 | 10:00 |
| MasterShrek | !latest | 10:00 |
| ubotu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. | 10:00 |
| flibberdy | ok, i give up. For some absolutely bizarre reason I cannot get my wireless card working in ubuntu. The docs all say it's supported out of the box | 10:00 |
| === Ademan_ is now known as Ademan | ||
| _6StringKng_ | great, all that work for nothing | 10:00 |
| MasterShrek | flibberdy, i dont have experience with the ipw2200.....wait.....try modprobe'ing ipw2200 | 10:00 |
| mechanicus01 | MasterShrek it finished installing , but i dont see it anywhere | 10:00 |
| musikgoat | _6StringKng_: if you want it, you just need libpurple | 10:01 |
| flibberdy | MasterShrek: ipw2200 is loaded already | 10:01 |
| MasterShrek | mechanicus01, i dont even know what its supposed to do, but its installed :P | 10:01 |
| MasterShrek | hrm | 10:01 |
| flibberdy | oh wait.. now it won't load | 10:01 |
| flibberdy | GAH | 10:01 |
| mechanicus01 | yup,,, i installed asterisk | 10:01 |
| MasterShrek | sorry flibberdy, like i said ive never used one, my friend had one a while back, i seem to remember he needed firmware or soemthing, im sure if you google it youll find some :) | 10:01 |
| mechanicus01 | restart cpu? | 10:01 |
| pavs | how can I check what services are running in my system? | 10:01 |
| musikgoat | pavs: ps -aux | 10:02 |
| MasterShrek | mechanicus01, what is aseterisk supposed to do? | 10:02 |
| musikgoat | or other variants | 10:02 |
| void^ | _6StringKng_: you probably installed into /usr/local without having /usr/local/lib in your library path, or you didn't follow pidgin's installation instructions correctly. | 10:02 |
| sunogbaga | pavs: system -> administration -> services | 10:02 |
| pavs | musikgoat ps -aux list all the application I am running, right? I need service, ie apache. | 10:02 |
| mechanicus01 | MasterShrek *sorry asterisk | 10:03 |
| ActySofts | I added myself to the audio group (again, 40000th time), no change | 10:03 |
| flibberdy | MasterShrek: yeah i downloaded the firmware.. but make always fails :/ | 10:03 |
| pavs | sunogbaga i need command line specifically :) | 10:03 |
| _6StringKng_ | hehe, it works, thanks musikgoatg | 10:03 |
| punkshui | anyone, battery problems? | 10:03 |
| _6StringKng_ | musikgoat* | 10:03 |
| MasterShrek | flibberdy, i never heard of compiling firmware | 10:03 |
| _6StringKng_ | all I needed was libpurple0 | 10:03 |
| sunogbaga | pavs: ps aux | 10:03 |
| flibberdy | well, the firmware i've not got to yet | 10:03 |
| sunogbaga | pavs: or top | 10:03 |
| Scusio | when i start the ubuntu live cd 6.06 and 7.10 it stops booting at the 2nd line: "Mounting boot....(devices?)" | 10:03 |
| david__ | hihi | 10:03 |
| flibberdy | i have to upgrade the ieee80211 stack before i can use the firmware | 10:03 |
| david__ | ok | 10:04 |
| simion314 | hi, in this new Gnomw version my windows have not a title bar:image http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t224/simion314/Screenshot-1.png | 10:04 |
| musikgoat | _6StringKng_: your welcome | 10:04 |
| pavs | ok thanks | 10:04 |
| pavs | exit linuxhaxor.net | 10:04 |
| MasterShrek | flibberdy, how do you know? it may be updated now, its a pretty late kernel | 10:04 |
| david__ | ok | 10:04 |
| Zenerek | well this blows according to a tutorial the only way to change the screen where your services are loading is to recomplie your kernel with a patch | 10:04 |
| void^ | _6StringKng_: libpurple is part of pidgin, mixing different versions may cause problems (just keep that in mind when it crashes or behaves weirdly.) | 10:05 |
| musikgoat | heh, he's gone | 10:05 |
| musikgoat | anyone know if you can just limit root access via ssh to only with a private key exchange? other users should still be able to access with no changes? I know of the apache.conf setting for blocking root, any suggestions for this? | 10:05 |

| flibberdy | hmm.. i think i'mjust gonna reinstall ubuntu | 10:08 |
| punkshui | anyone know how to get gnome-power-management to recognize a battery? | 10:08 |
| MasterShrek | flibberdy, are you on a fresh install right now? | 10:08 |
| MasterShrek | punkshui, i never had a problem with it recognizing a battery before, how new of a laptop? | 10:09 |

| Stevethepirate | Hey.. if i have 4 gigs of ram | 10:09 |
| Stevethepirate | will ubuntu run fine on it? | 10:09 |
| MasterShrek | shouldnt have any problems....i wonder if you need to load some modules... | 10:09 |
| musikgoat | i think you would suffer from 32bit memory size problems? | 10:10 |
| MasterShrek | Stevethepirate, yes just fine, you need a 64 bit kernel or a custom compiled one to make use of more than 3 gigs of ram though | 10:10 |
| Stevethepirate | I'd like to avoid 64-bit | 10:10 |
| flibberdy | yes MasterShrek, installed via pxe and i think somethin went wrong | 10:10 |
| MasterShrek | the server kernel will make use of 3+ gigs of ram too, but it doesnt have a restricted drivers package if u need it | 10:10 |
| MasterShrek | Stevethepirate, can i ask why? | 10:10 |
| david__ | i am var www but i dont have the permasion to delate a file what can i do | 10:10 |
| MasterShrek | flibberdy, its possible, ive never done it that way before | 10:10 |
| arooni | is there a free dyndns service that i can run on ubuntu? | 10:10 |
| MasterShrek | david__, use sudo | 10:11 |
| MasterShrek | !sudo | david__ | 10:11 |
| Stevethepirate | MasterShrek: i'm getting a dell laptop with 4 gigs ram. | 10:11 |
| ubotu | david__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 10:11 |
| Teknomancer | I installed Ubuntu (on a newly made JFS partition) on my second hard-disk's first partition... i did not install grub because i use a solaris' specialized grub, i have had no problems before adding ubuntu manually to solaris' grub, but this time i chose JFS and not reiser, I get an error saying unknown partition type 0x83 when i try to boot Ubuntu. Should I resintall as Reiser? or have i got my partitions numbers mixed up? (its /dev/sdb1 i use) | 10:11 |
| Stevethepirate | and it has a nvidia gfx card | 10:11 |
| david__ | master i do that still i dont have persion | 10:11 |
| Stevethepirate | So restricted drivers are needed | 10:11 |
| MasterShrek | Stevethepirate, its not nessicary, you can use the drivers from nvidia's site, i always do | 10:11 |
| punkshui | MasterShrek recently I was trying to increase my battery life by unloading a few modules... but I also did some other stuff... It didn't reallly work so I undid it all... but since then, gnome-pm thinks i'm always on ac power | 10:11 |
| musikgoat | Stevethepirate: 32bit OS's cannot read past iirc 2.75GB of ram | 10:11 |
| david__ | mastershrek i do that still i dont have permasion | 10:12 |
| MasterShrek | musikgoat, i think its 3.1 gigs with a default ubuntu kernel, you can custom compile one for highmem support though afaik | 10:12 |
| MasterShrek | david__, sudo gives you permission, you must be doing something wrong | 10:13 |
| musikgoat | i stand corrected ^_^ | 10:13 |

| Tom0 | thats right, i was wondering if i could speak to some1 more deeply about this plug in | 10:44 |
| Chris| | well its fairly simple Tom0 do you have compiz installed? | 10:44 |
| Tom0 | no i dont | 10:44 |
| MyOriginalAlias | I find this a little crazy | 10:44 |
| Chris| | try enabling desktop effects system > administration > | 10:45 |
| Chris| | if so install the driver and then using synaptic install compiz-settings-manager | 10:45 |
| flibberdy | does apt-get have the ability to install new/different kernels? | 10:45 |
| Usiu | MyOriginalAlias, its possible | 10:45 |
| Chris| | flibberdy i think so | 10:46 |
| Tom0 | i hDoes the zoom plug in have colour enhancements, like invert brightness for example? | 10:46 |
| Tom0 | or does it just zoom in | 10:46 |
| Chris| | it zooms in | 10:46 |
| Chris| | using the super button (windows log button) and the scroll bar | 10:46 |
| Chris| | or super button + 1 button or 2, 3 | 10:47 |
| Tom0 | how many times are you able to zoom in? | 10:47 |
| Chris| | pretty far | 10:47 |
| mohamed | am having problems with steam .... counterstrike always freezes while loading at the beggining .... maybe its the nvidia driver thing because before running CS it gives me a warning that i dont have the latest driver | 10:47 |

| Chris| | holy cow, you can just about see a pixel if not, with that plugin | 10:49 |
| Chris| | Tom0 some buttons will change and others | 10:49 |
| Chris| | usually yes | 10:49 |
| Chris| | the backgrounds of the program usually do | 10:49 |

| MyOriginalAlias | TTilus: http://pastebin.com/m5a05b527 | 11:09 |
| MyOriginalAlias | TTilus: What do you mean fix and clean partition? | 11:10 |

| m3gach33zy | robdig: i do have pcm selected the buttons are working just fine and i reprogrammed them as well and they display that they are working yet the sound isnt controlled | 11:24 |
| Chris| | he wants it on another computer ikonia | 11:24 |
| ikonia | Chris|: then download it from here ? | 11:24 |
| ikonia | as in his current connection | 11:24 |
| Chris| | thats what i say | 11:24 |
| eeos | I am on skype with a friend who did a terrible thing: changed the ntfs partition where he had all his data to ext2 using gparted (Ubuntu 7.10). | 11:24 |
| eeos | He thinks he did not format it. | 11:25 |
| Chris| | he said he wanted java and other things, i said then why do you want ubuntu even if you cant even download the other programs on ubuntu | 11:25 |
| eeos | Is there a way to go back without losig all the data that where in the partitio? | 11:25 |
| ikonia | eeos: %99 = is't gone | 11:25 |
| ikonia | eeos: %99 chance it's gone with no way back | 11:25 |
| ICQnumber | ikonia, i want additional cd's like all other distos have, like opensuse | 11:25 |
| ikonia | ICQnumber: ubuntu doesn't supply additional CD's - you'll need to make your own cd of external packages if you want them. | 11:26 |
| ICQnumber | or is there a big dvd with ubuntu to download | 11:26 |
| TTilus | simion314: it's not sleeping, it's searching | 11:26 |
| TTilus | simion314: was it env variable you were looking for? | 11:26 |
| robdig | m3gach33zy: hmm, what audio source are you using? | 11:26 |
| KenSentMe | ICQnumber, there is a dvd, but i don't think it includes binary drivers, flash and java | 11:26 |
| eeos | ikonia: I know. I had just installed ubuntu for him, and he was playing with gparted of ALL THINGS! | 11:26 |
| ikonia | eeos: well, time to move on | 11:26 |
| m3gach33zy | robdig: HDA Intel (alsa mixer) | 11:26 |
| TTilus | simion314: first check /etc/environment | 11:27 |
| eeos | ikonia: do you know if there is a software to rebuild the file system structure without erasing the data? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | eeos: no - as I said it's %99 gone without recovery | 11:27 |
| robdig | m3gach33zy: ah, i meant program like gstreamer or such | 11:27 |
| flibberdy | hi all, I have ubuntu 7.10 recognising my wireless nic, but i can't seem to enable it. | 11:27 |
| flibberdy | does anyone have any suggestions? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | flibberdy: does it appear in the network admin gui ? | 11:27 |
| eeos | flibberdy: what is the wireless card? | 11:28 |
| ikonia | flibberdy: do you have a switch to "enable" it on the laptop | 11:28 |
| m3gach33zy | robdig: playing music via exaile | 11:28 |
| simion314 | TTilus: yes i search for a file that it puts some variables in my system, i removed the entries in in bashrc or something like this but it had no efect, i restarted computer | 11:28 |
| TTilus | simion314: then ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile | 11:28 |
| flibberdy | lols ikonia, i do.. and it was off for some rason | 11:28 |
| ikonia | flibberdy: ok, well fixed. | 11:28 |
| revilodraw | im using compiz with the cude enabled, what do i do or type to make it spin? | 11:28 |

| simion314 | TTilus: thx i ll search there | 11:28 |

| eeos | is it normal not to be able to create more than 4 primary partitions on the new SATA 300 hard disks? | 11:31 |
| ikonia | revilodraw: compiz-fusion.org | 11:32 |
| ikonia | eeos: yes | 11:32 |
| ikonia | eeos: thats a dos disk label limit | 11:32 |
| simion314 | TTilus: thx, i found them in .profile too, i will remove them but i must add other corects. thx again | 11:32 |
| eeos | ikonia: yes, but I have been able to create 5 or more on ULTRAATA 100 | 11:33 |
| eeos | ikonia: is there a way roud it? | 11:33 |
| victor__ | does any one know if xubuntu has any settings concerning bandwidth caps? | 11:33 |
| ikonia | eeos: a disk disk label will not allow more than 4 primary partitions. End of discussion. | 11:33 |
| ikonia | victor__: can you expand your question please. | 11:33 |
| tino_ | eeos, make a logical partition | 11:33 |
| TimS | I have had more than 4 before | 11:33 |
| ikonia | TimS: no you've not. | 11:33 |
| tino_ | that can contain as many partitions as you like | 11:33 |
| eeos | tino_: I am no expert. Do you have any documentation you can point me to please? | 11:34 |
| ikonia | tino_: no - it can contain 10 making a total of 15 partitions limited on the disk | 11:34 |
| cast | is a good idea to start using LVM if you ask me | 11:34 |
| victor__ | for internet connections and such | 11:34 |
| ikonia | victor__: what sort of bandwidth capping ? | 11:34 |

| robdig | m3gach33zy: it looks like several posts in the forum say that using the command exaile --no-equalizer will resolve some sound problems, don't know if it will help yours or not... | 11:35 |
| ikonia | Guest16155: just untar them | 11:35 |

| ikonia | ReX0r_: welcome | 11:35 |
| eeos | ikonia: I will check but that is how it looks like. | 11:35 |
| tino_ | eeos, if you use gparted to create partitions, create an extended partition and create new partitions inside that extended partition. | 11:36 |
| ikonia | victor__: yes, iptables comes with QoS options. | 11:36 |
| void^ | eeos: pastebin fdisk -l or it didn't happen. ;) | 11:36 |
| Guest16155 | ikonia: i am new to ubuntu can u give me example of untar usage ? | 11:36 |

| tzd | i! I was hoping anyone here could help me with my thunderbird installation. I am completely unable to install it via synaptic or konsole (im using kubuntu, gutsy gibbon OS) so i was informed to try the Ubuntuzilla script. I ran this script but it won't receive a public key? It also says something about it couldn't find a writeable keyring? the end message i get during the install is: Process returned code 2. Unable to retrieve Mozilla Software | 11:37 |
| tzd | Releases Public key from keymaster.veridis.com . Trying again... Failed to retrieve Mozilla Software Releases Public key from any of the listed keyservers. Please check your network connection, and try again later. | 11:37 |

| david__ | ikonia what i need to right in terminal sudo please | 11:38 |
| ikonia | victor__: there are gui's but I personally don't rate them you need to look at setting up your own set of "iptables rules" | 11:38 |
| ikonia | david__: sudo -rm /var/www/files you want to remove | 11:38 |
| victor__ | alright...thanks youve been a big help | 11:38 |
| jaggz- | before I mess my system up I retained copies of sda, sdb, and sdc (first 5mb of each drive) | 11:39 |
| ikonia | jaggz-: are you using fakeraid ? | 11:39 |
| jaggz- | sda and sdb are the hardware mirror, but linux sees them as separate drives | 11:39 |
| ICQnumber | is hplip on the ubuntu cd? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | ICQnumber: I think so | 11:39 |
| jaggz- | at least the ubuntu install CD sees them as separate drives | 11:39 |
| tino_ | eeos, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning | 11:39 |
| jaggz- | ikonia, I haven't used anything yet -- after install I've not been able to boot linux yet | 11:39 |
| jaggz- | I did not choose the "install boot loader" option during install | 11:39 |
| ikonia | jaggz-: is the "raid" disk you mention for XP "fakeraid" | 11:39 |
| jaggz- | I don't think so.. it's real raid from the motherboard's hardware raid support | 11:40 |
| ikonia | jaggz-: if you've not installed the boot loader, how do you expect your system to boot | 11:40 |
| ikonia | jaggz-: ok - motherboard raid = fake raid | 11:40 |
| david__ | ikonia david@serverlinuxtwo:~$ sudo -rm /var/www/files apache2-default | 11:40 |

| ikonia | david__: sudo rm -rf | 11:40 |
| jaggz- | I was scared to install the boot loader onto sda because then it won't be a true mirror of sda/sdb | 11:40 |
| Myrtti | !paste | david__ | 11:41 |
| ubotu | david__: 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) | 11:41 |
| ikonia | jaggz-: getting boot loaders to work with fake raid is a very annoying and tricky tasks. "fakeraid" is really annoying as it is a weak technology | 11:41 |
| jaggz- | careful with rm -rf by the way | 11:41 |
| jaggz- | make sure you get the proper filenames/directories you want to rm | 11:41 |
| ikonia | jaggz-: why ? I've given him the exact command to type | 11:41 |
| david__ | ok | 11:42 |
| david__ | still the same the folder is thare | 11:42 |
| jaggz- | I think my advice is still good :) :) | 11:42 |
| david__ | not delterd | 11:42 |

| kevind23 | okay I need help with my mouse, for whatever reason the cursor displays about 300-400 pixels above where the system thinks it's pointing at, and it's very annoying. It's an X problem too because it happens in both gnome & kde, no matter what user | 11:42 |
| ikonia | david__: what command did you use, exactly | 11:42 |
| david__ | ikonia where this problems to del a file | 11:42 |
| david__ | sudo rm -rf | 11:43 |
| eeos | tino_: thaaaanks!!!! | 11:43 |
| jaggz- | kevin, it MIGHT be a display problem.. but I'm just throwing this out there | 11:43 |
| ikonia | david__: show me the exact FULL command you used | 11:43 |
| jaggz- | sometimes with the wrong display settings the screen "wraps" | 11:43 |
| david__ | sudo rm -rf /var/www/files apache2-default | 11:43 |
| kevind23 | jaggz-: okay, well how can I fix it? My mouse works fine in any other disto | 11:43 |
| jaggz- | probably because of the memory addressing being off | 11:43 |
| kevind23 | distro* | 11:43 |
| Myrtti | I've got a question about rewriting a init-script in such a way it does what it needs to do without rc.status which is used in other distros. How?! I've googled around and I can't find a legible howto or a file that explains what needs to be done. | 11:43 |
| ikonia | david__: that is NOT what I said to do | 11:43 |
| jaggz- | but you'd likely see other symptoms of that :) | 11:44 |
| ikonia | david__: "sudo rm -rf /var/www/name_of_the_file_you_want_to_delete" | 11:44 |
| david__ | can you please ikonia do the comand for me | 11:44 |
| TTilus | simion314: "them"? what did you actually remove? | 11:44 |
| jaggz- | linux is not running under fakeraid by the way.. it's on its own lone drive | 11:44 |
| TTilus | simion314: just curious | 11:44 |
| ikonia | jaggz-: that doesn't matter | 11:44 |
| jaggz- | but I will need to be able to boot into XP, which resides on the raid | 11:44 |
| ikonia | Myrtti: say that again please. | 11:44 |

| ikonia | jaggz-: intergrating with fake raid is a real pain, booting from fake raid is a massive pain | 11:44 |
| david__ | ok workd thanks | 11:44 |
| jaggz- | actually, I don't mind if linux doesn't recognize the windows drives as raid.. as long as the boot loader can boot XP there AND linux off sdc | 11:45 |
| tzd | can anyone help me with my thunderbird installation? I tried getting some help from the official mozilla channel but after some ts they told me to come here since they thought my problem was pretty strange. | 11:45 |
| ikonia | jaggz-: you'll need to tell your motherboard to boot from the none-raid disks, and install the boot loader on them | 11:45 |
| jaggz- | the problem is, I think, that anything "before" linux sees the first two drives as 1, so it sees hd0 and hd1 .. but possibly something like grub or lilo may see sda, sdb, and sdc | 11:45 |
| ikonia | tzd: what happens when you try to install. | 11:45 |
| Myrtti | ikonia: I've got a software that is started from /etc/init.d. When I do restart, it complains about something missin in /etc/rs.status, which isn't there. From Googling around I've found out that rc.status is used in other distros, not Ubuntu/Debian. I need to know how the function it serves is replaced in the init-script. | 11:46 |
| kevind23 | Someone's got to be able to help me with this mouse.. | 11:46 |
| david__ | ikonia why know i cant do folder in www. var | 11:46 |
| Myrtti | ikonia: rc.status, even | 11:46 |
| ikonia | Myrtti: no, problem, I've got some test machines in the lab, I'll have a look | 11:46 |
| ikonia | david__: what ? | 11:46 |
| jaggz- | ikonia.. I did that .. for 2 years I've been dual-booting by switching the bios setting each time I wanted to pick one or the other.. because once I switched them I .. I don't know.. they actually don't change place -- linux still saw their physical locations | 11:46 |
| david__ | in var www i need to do folder but i cant | 11:46 |
| david__ | why this problems to do folder | 11:47 |
| jaggz- | well.. I'm going to read up on fakeraid right now.. first time I heard that word | 11:47 |
| ikonia | jaggz-: linux will see their phyical locations. due to fake raid, as I've said | 11:47 |
| david__ | there is any way to lock as admin | 11:47 |
| ikonia | david__: because your normal user doesn't have permissions. | 11:47 |
| tzd | ikonia: when typing sudo apt-get install thunderbird it download and installs but when i try running it by typing thunderbird i get the message that the program "thunderbird" is not installed and that i can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install thunderbird | 11:47 |
| ikonia | david__: the files are owned by the webserver - not your user | 11:47 |
| jaggz- | ikonia, yup.. I got it. | 11:48 |
| david__ | ikonia can i be admin in web server | 11:48 |
| ikonia | tzd: please show me the output of "sudo apt-get install thunderbird" in a PASTEBIN | 11:48 |
| ikonia | david__: using sudo before the commands will give you administrator access to that directory | 11:48 |
| jaggz- | sudo -i | 11:49 |
| jaggz- | gives a root shell | 11:49 |
| tzd | ikonia: ok, i read something about that pastebin... where do i get it or where do i find a manual to how to do it? :) | 11:49 |

| Myrtti | ikonia: found out the init-script is designed for suse, now I have to make it work with ubuntu | 12:00 |
| ikonia | tzd: "sudo find / -name thunderbird -print" | 12:01 |
| ikonia | tzd: lets see where it actually is | 12:02 |
| TTilus | simion314: ah, okay | 12:02 |
| ikonia | Myrtti: what software is it ? | 12:02 |
| freak124 | anyone has any experience with LAMPP? (XAMPP for linux) | 12:03 |
| ikonia | freak124: just ask the question | 12:03 |
| tt_ | can someone links me the paste site for ubuntu ? (i got to paste somethings) | 12:03 |
| UserID-MA | General question about networking. I have two routers, both are wireless. Well I want to use router A to broadcast the internet connection and I want to use router B as a wireless switch in a way and recieve the internet broadcast from router A is this possible with static routing? | 12:03 |
| ikonia | !paste | tt | 12:03 |
| ubotu | tt: 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) | 12:03 |
| tt_ | thx | 12:03 |
| ikonia | ubotu: that's nothing to do with ubuntu | 12:04 |
| messageman3 | hi guys, i'm new here, could someone give me a pm - i need help installing | 12:04 |
| Myrtti | ikonia: one of our own, so I'll have to do it myself | 12:04 |
| flohrian | messageman3: installing what? | 12:04 |
| ikonia | Myrtti: unlucky, shout if you want a hand / second set of eyes | 12:04 |
| messageman3 | ubuntu itself | 12:04 |
| flohrian | Ubuntu? | 12:04 |
| messageman3 | yeah | 12:04 |
| flohrian | ok :) | 12:04 |
| freak124 | well, for some kind of reason, when I go to http://localhost, I automaticaly am redirected to http://localhost/xampp, how can I make sure it opens the page http://localhost/index.php? | 12:04 |
| flohrian | did you get a cd/dvd already? | 12:04 |
| UserID-MA | messageman3: are you trying to install a fresh copy or just duel boot? | 12:04 |
| tarzeau | i have one of these cheap lenovo laptops, and sound output wouldn't work | 12:05 |
| tarzeau | and the builtin webcam don't work either! | 12:05 |
| tich | are there any apps for managing large numbers of files? | 12:05 |
| tarzeau | is lenovo 3000 n200 | 12:05 |
| ikonia | freak124: your default site has been altered by the xampp install | 12:05 |
| tarzeau | tich: how large? one million+ ? | 12:05 |
| freak124 | ikonia: ok, how do I fix it? | 12:05 |
| flohrian | freak124: Apache? | 12:05 |
| freak124 | yes | 12:05 |
| flohrian | freak124: there have to be a config file, isnt it? | 12:06 |
| tzd | ikonia: that previous command "sudo find / ..." it's suppose to take some time right since it searches through everything? | 12:06 |
| ikonia | freak124: change the settings on the default-site, xamp is either doing this by making the index.php file redirect for you, or it has put a redirect rule in for you | 12:06 |
| ikonia | tzd: yeah, it will be slow | 12:06 |
| ikonia | tzd: lets find where it is though | 12:06 |
| tzd | ikonia: yeah now the magic begins | 12:06 |
| messageman3 | @flohrian, i have sent you a pm | 12:06 |
| UserID-MA | is it possible for one router to broadcast the internet connection to a second routeR? | 12:06 |
| ikonia | tzd: we'll get there | 12:06 |
| freak124 | flohrian: there is, but I can't find any mistakes in it | 12:07 |
| flohrian | messageman3: 1. no! 2. why dont ask in the channel? | 12:07 |
| ikonia | UserID-MA: that is nothing to do with ubuntu - please find a more appropriate place. | 12:07 |
| tich | tarzeau: no, maybe that was a little misleading... maybe a hundred or two hundred. they are video files and i want to be able to 1. know what i have and 2. access them quickly-ish) | 12:07 |
| freak124 | ikonia: thx I'll try | 12:07 |
| tzd | ikonia: :) http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49010/ | 12:07 |
| messageman3 | ok, fair plays | 12:07 |
| ikonia | tzd: someone has deleted the thunderbird binary | 12:07 |
| messageman3 | i have downloaded the livecds for 7.10 and 7.04 and the alternative cd for 7.04 | 12:07 |
| ikonia | tzd: it's in your tash bin | 12:07 |
| UserID-MA | !list networking | 12:08 |
| ikonia | tzd: just put it back | 12:08 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about list networking - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 12:08 |
| flohrian | freak124: search for the default-site and change it to index.php / index.html | 12:08 |
| ShadowCall | hey, how do you stop your windows from opening at the top of the screen? so u cant click the windowbar at the top of them | 12:08 |
| revilodraw | i was playing with compiz and suddenly my delete button doesnt delete | 12:08 |
| DrAk0 | why dpkg-reconfigure locales is not poping the menu just generating all the locales its want | 12:08 |
| messageman3 | flohrian: i have downloaded the livecds for 7.10 and 7.04 and the alternative cd for 7.04 | 12:08 |
| chronosx | is granular security for folder sharing in samba possible? i.e. folder has a settings for list of users who can only access it | 12:08 |
| ikonia | chronosx: unix file system permissions | 12:09 |
| messageman3 | but whenever i try to install, i get some nvidia error | 12:09 |
| flohrian | messageman3: with the live cd? | 12:09 |
| messageman3 | yes | 12:10 |
| flohrian | freak124: the option is "DirectoryListing". | 12:10 |
| messageman3 | file not found etc. | 12:10 |
| flohrian | set it to index.php index.html | 12:10 |
| chronosx | ikonia: unix only allows: rwxrwxrwx owner group others | 12:10 |
| flohrian | messageman3: checked the cd? | 12:10 |
| messageman3 | flohrian: yes, md5's are fine | 12:10 |
| flohrian | its an option in the main menu before run/install | 12:10 |
| flohrian | messageman3: than i dont know.. | 12:11 |
| messageman3 | flohrian: i can install it with virtual pc fine.. | 12:11 |
| chronosx | only one owner at a time, no differents groups can access the same folder | 12:11 |
| chronosx | is there a way i can simulate multiple owners/groups in samba shares? | 12:11 |
| flohrian | try to create a new live cd, maybe. | 12:11 |
| messageman3 | ok, i will have a go | 12:12 |
| tzd | ikonia: that someone is definitely me... ops.. I'm learning though :) Which file or folder should i restore? | 12:12 |
| Aaron_Mason | hey all, i have an AMD Athlon 2500+ with 512mb RAM, I've got a Netgear WG111V2 USB 802.11g dongle but when I use it to get onto my wireless it goes deadly slow and sometimes packets get dropped | 12:12 |
| Copolycube | hello | 12:12 |
| kritzstapf | hi, when trying to check something out using svn it hangs on poll(): http://rafb.net/p/7O09NE94.html - is this a known problem? | 12:12 |
| Copolycube | It seems that last gnome package has been compiled without Xinerama support | 12:13 |
| Copolycube | is there some reason for that ?? | 12:13 |
| sdndeath | looking for helop do | 12:13 |
| sdndeath | \ | 12:13 |
| freak124 | flohrian: in what file do I have to change that? | 12:13 |
| flohrian | freak124: dont know. the main config file, i think | 12:14 |
| sdndeath | does anyone have a ansi terminal | 12:15 |
| tzd | ikonia: where shall i put the thunderbird binary? (i have two binaries in two different folders) I'm afraid of restoring the wrong binary since I think 1 is for the nightly build of thunderbird (3.0a) which messed up everything in the first place | 12:16 |
| francis | Hello, Hi I have a rather wierd question . I have a cluster of servers some are mail and some are web servers . I need to sent mail from the webservers. How do i get then to use my mail servers[ubuntu + postfix] ?? | 12:18 |
| tony214 | anyone know about video encoding here? | 12:18 |
| cast | tony214: sure. | 12:18 |
| jaggz- | !anyone | 12:19 |
| ubotu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 12:19 |
| === loucas is now known as SoteriouLoucas | ||
| tony214 | ok, i have an m2v file i encoded but if i transfer it to dvd, mpeg2, it will lose even more quality? | 12:19 |
| cast | m2v is what? | 12:19 |
| jaggz- | there's an answer to that question posed by !anyone | 12:19 |
| cast | 'M2V is an MPEG-2 Packetized Elementary Stream. It contains only video related data.' ahh, hmm | 12:20 |
| tony214 | it's encoded with a windows app | 12:20 |
| tony214 | i just don't want to have to re-encode to retain the same quality. my dvd creator is doing something to create the dvd, it's not re-encoding is it? | 12:21 |
| cast | well, since dvd uses mpeg2 too, i don't see how one would lose quality | 12:21 |
| cast | can you mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -o test.avi *.m2v it? | 12:22 |
| glitch- | hi | 12:22 |
| jaggz- | Okay.. I installed grub on sdc and it's set for sda=hd0 sdb=hd1 sdc=hd2 .. linux is on the second partition of sdc (ie:/dev/sdc2) and windows is on the mirrored fakeraid sda1+sdb1 | 12:22 |
| tony214 | sorry, using windows app to do it on a vm | 12:22 |
| jaggz- | I then setup menu.lst to have a windows entry on (hd0,0) and linux on (hd2,1) | 12:23 |
| cast | tony214: so...how does your question relate to #ubuntu? | 12:23 |
| rob_w|laptop | whats the name for a command line tool to configure Xorg automaticly ? | 12:24 |
| tony214 | cast: sorry, didn't know of any other channels i could turn to | 12:24 |
| jaggz- | root=(hd2,1) | 12:24 |
| jaggz- | install (hd2) | 12:24 |
| tony214 | i'm using mozilla chat and it doesn't list channels | 12:24 |
| scragar | not even with /list? | 12:25 |
| jaggz- | I also copied 512 bytes from /dev/sdc to a spare windows partition (/dev/sdc1) into bootsect-sdc.lin for use with Windows booter .. I hope it works | 12:26 |
| jaggz- | talk to you guys later, if all goes well! | 12:26 |
| jaggz- | or not | 12:26 |
| francis | sudo rob_w|laptop: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 12:26 |
| tony214 | chat zilla really seems to suck | 12:27 |
| ThomasVL | why? Works fine with me :) | 12:27 |
| movela | how do i mount a .NRG image? | 12:27 |
| tony214 | i can't get the damn thing to stop listing channels now | 12:28 |
| etfb | tony214: what don't you like about it? At least it does wordwrapping, which konversation doesn't. | 12:28 |
| tony214 | the other chat client i was using had a nice neat list of channels on teh server | 12:28 |
| tt_ | tony , you wont be able to do so in xchat or mirc , so whats your point? ;) | 12:28 |
| ThomasVL | movela: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmount-isomdfnrg-images-using-acetoneiso-gui-tool.html | 12:28 |
| m3gach33zy | can someone help me... one of my letter keys arent working... and i cant type it to tell you lol | 12:28 |
| etfb | tony214: I had a problem with it auto-joining a channel, so I just deleted the config file and got the defaults back. It _could_ do with a little more work on its config options... | 12:29 |
| tony214 | tt_: xchat was what i used before. it had a search feature for when i needed to search for a help channel. such as now when i could use a video help channel | 12:29 |
| movela | ThomasVL: did it but acetone doesn't run or load | 12:29 |
| etfb | tony214: why not keep using xchat? Is it available in the Ubunto repositories? | 12:30 |
| IanLiu | When I first installed Gutsy, I could access my computer in the network, but now, I can't... anyone experiencing this? | 12:30 |
| tony214 | etfb: thought i'd try something else. i'm new to irc | 12:30 |
| Copolycube | tony214, what do you use for video chat un Ubuntu ? | 12:30 |
| ThomasVL | :( no idea than | 12:30 |
| tt_ | why you dont use it now? if you like it | 12:30 |
| Pici | !channels | tony214 | 12:31 |

| tony214 | tt_: it screwed up on me | 12:31 |
| etfb | tony214: Always good to try new things. As Oscar Wilde said, "Try anything at least once, except incest and folk dancing." | 12:31 |
| ThomasVL | :p lal | 12:31 |
| IanLiu | When I first installed Gutsy, I could access my Windows computer in the network, but now, I can't... It displays "Can't display all contents in the Folder"... | 12:31 |
| tt_ | whats happend? :) | 12:32 |
| Xsylotte | hello, how to fix this problem ? | 12:32 |
| Xsylotte | http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2255/ubuntuuo5.jpg | 12:32 |
| tt_ | dont tell me you installed it from add/remove | 12:32 |
| tony214 | etfb: lol, yeah, i'm not one to settle for good enough so i try new things | 12:32 |
| etfb | IanLiu: I'm getting similar problems -- samba says it can't find the local windows machine, possibly because of firewall settings. I ought to see what's going on there, but I'm swamped with so many other little things. | 12:33 |
| tt_ | Xsylotte which cam ,did you use for taking that picture? :p | 12:33 |
| IanLiu | etfb: Hmm, maybe... I will try some tests, thanks | 12:33 |
| Xsylotte | tt_, hahah :D canon a550 | 12:33 |
| Xsylotte | i've updated gutsy and restarted computer. | 12:34 |
| tt_ | lol , so i guess you complied kernel? ;_ | 12:34 |
| Xsylotte | after that i got that error | 12:34 |
| Xsylotte | tt_, i runned update manager | 12:34 |
| tt_ | i did it too , i got the new kernel image | 12:34 |
| tt_ | but thats never happend too me with updating , only when compiling | 12:34 |
| Xsylotte | hmm, what to do now ? | 12:35 |
| Xsylotte | :D | 12:35 |
| excalibas | hello, can someone help me to configura wifi radar for wpa please? | 12:35 |
| etfb | Xsylotte: did you reboot with the noapic or apic=debug options, as it suggested? Or just tried the recovery mode boot? | 12:36 |
| tt_ | i would suggest booting from livecd and edite your grub.conf to fits your new kernel (or old one or whats ever) | 12:36 |
| wij32 | hey, im going to install ubnutu over debian and windows, anyone done this over dell media direct aswell? | 12:36 |
| Xsylotte | etfb, atm i am running ubuntu with noapic | 12:36 |
| etfb | Xsylotte: and it booted ok? (it's late where I am; forgive me if I ask braindead questions) | 12:36 |
| Xsylotte | etfb, yes,' | 12:36 |
| etfb | Xsylotte: recompiling kernels is well outside my area of expertise, but presumably there's some kind of option to do with the 8254 timer chip and APIC that you can set when you ./configure or make or whatever... | 12:38 |
| Xsylotte | is there any way to get last kernel update again ? | 12:38 |
| Xsylotte | or something | 12:38 |
| Xsylotte | because last update in update manager was samba and kernel.. | 12:38 |
| etfb | Xsylotte: you didn't save a copy of the old kernel before you rebuilt? | 12:39 |
| tt_ | Xsy , i was going to help you to give you my owner kernel *which i downloaded it from update too* | 12:39 |
| Xsylotte | etfb, I am linux newbie, I used Update manager. | 12:39 |
| tt_ | but ther problem is with my isp | 12:39 |
| Xsylotte | so answer is no ? | 12:39 |
| etfb | Xsylotte: that's good news - it means the old kernel is still sitting there, I expect. Sorry - didn't you say you recompiled your kernel yourself? Did I misread? | 12:40 |
| ActySofts | hello again | 12:40 |
| tt_ | etfb no he didnt ;) | 12:40 |
| tt_ | i said he did | 12:40 |
| scragar | etfb: someone asked if he had, he said no, update manager. | 12:40 |
| Xsylotte | etfb, you misread. | 12:40 |
| ActySofts | I reinstalled ubuntu, kept my /home partition intact, but ALSA is still mad, so, how do I 'reset' my /home? | 12:41 |
| etfb | tt_: Ah - "See what you miss if you don't stay alert?" - Z Beebelbrox. | 12:41 |
| Xsylotte | etfb, :D | 12:41 |
| tt_ | etfb , i am not missing much , i allready suffering from mono , playing around then come and see whats going here ;) | 12:41 |
| etfb | Xsylotte: presumably I got the new kernel too, so I'll have a look and see if I can find where it puts the old one. | 12:42 |
| etfb | tt_: which mono - the glandular disease or the .NET clone? And which would be more painful? | 12:42 |
| Xsylotte | thx etfb | 12:43 |
| ActySofts | how do I "reset" my /home partition? | 12:43 |
| tt_ | compiling it from source code , without good internet , so you cant get the things it want , thats pain , and even when you get it , its wont accept it ;) | 12:43 |
| etfb | Xsylotte, tt_: any idea what the newest version number is? | 12:43 |
| Xsylotte | i would have to restart :D | 12:43 |
| tt_ | for mono its 1.2.6 | 12:44 |
| etfb | tt_: sorry, I meant kernel version | 12:44 |
| tt_ | 2.6.22-14 if i am not wrong ;) *opening the folder and reading it* | 12:44 |
| muslimsoft | is there are method to read visio file in Linux? | 12:45 |
| etfb | That's the only one I seem to have too, tt_. I wonder where it dumps the old one when it upgrades. | 12:45 |
| tt_ | i will see if i could find it for him | 12:45 |
| * scragar confirms that new kernel is 2.6.22-14 | 12:46 | |
| etfb | I can't find any files with 2.6.22-13 or earlier (I'm guessing the previous one would be -12, since they go up by even numbers for releases and odd numbers for development versions) | 12:46 |
| etfb | So it looks like update trashes the old one, if I did indeed update when I thought I did. | 12:47 |
| etfb | I wonder if update manager has a log file... <rummage rummage> | 12:47 |
| Xsylotte | :D | 12:47 |
| scragar | etftb gimme instructions on how to find it on my comp, I'll check | 12:47 |
| Pici | etfb: The latest kernel update did not change the ABI (dont ask, I dont know what it means either), so it replaces the old kernel instead of adding the newest one. | 12:47 |
| Centipeed | I was wondering if anyone know how I could remove a running program from the taskbar, but still have it on the desktop, and also make sure that it can never be called into focus? Stays on bottom? | 12:48 |
| Pici | Centipeed: look into the program devilspie | 12:48 |
| Pici | !devilspie | Centipeed | 12:48 |
| ubotu | Centipeed: devilspie is a tool that performs actions on windows in GNOME's metacity such as resizing, positioning, and pinning. Usage information can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie | 12:48 |
| Koff | Hi, just wondering, is there a easy way to install new graphics driver? | 12:48 |
| Stevethepirate | or the program could have a daemonize flag | 12:48 |
| Pici | Centipeed: Warning, it wont work with compiz, join #compiz-fusion for help doing that if you use it. | 12:48 |
| Xsylotte | tt_, etfb, is there a way to add noapta in boot ? | 12:48 |
| Centipeed | ubotu: Thanks, man | 12:49 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks, man - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 12:49 |
| Centipeed | Pici: No, I don't, so it's cool | 12:49 |
| Xsylotte | atm every time i boot my computer i need to edit grub loader and add noapta.... | 12:49 |
| etfb | scragar: I used to use find (sudo find / -name [wildcard-mask]) but I recently discovered locate (locate [partial-name]) and it's gorgeous! | 12:49 |
| Centipeed | Oh. He's a bot :D | 12:49 |
| tt_ | press esc when you boot | 12:49 |
| tt_ | then selet kernel after then press e (to edite it ) | 12:49 |
| etfb | Xsylotte: probably by editing your boot menu. Hang on while I get the details | 12:49 |
| linux4me | hi guys, running ubunty 7.10 desktop, a few days ago it complained about some applet or something not working properly and asked if I wanted to remove it, I chose yes. Ever since the system has been ultra slow. How do I troublehshoot this? | 12:49 |
| Stevethepirate | linux4me: can you recall what the app was? | 12:50 |
| etfb | linux4me: another situation where having logs of the update manager would be good... I can't seem to find them... | 12:51 |
| Koff | Could someone help me, or point me in the direction of a tutorial or something, on how to install new graphic drivers? | 12:51 |
| etfb | \me searches for logs that may not exist... | 12:51 |
| scragar | all references to -12 removed, even though I'm still running it... fun | 12:51 |
| linux4me | steven_Office - unfortunately no. I tried updating the system with update manager but that didn't help! | 12:52 |
| tho1 | Xsylotte add the option to the line in /boot/grub/menu.lst that begins with 'kermel /boot/vmlinuz...' | 12:52 |
| Copolycube | It seems that last gnome package has been compiled without Xinerama support, is there some reason for that ?? | 12:52 |
| etfb | tho1: You beat me to it. That's what I was going to say... | 12:52 |
| tho1 | Xsylotte if you want that option to be added to every kernel update, then find the same line with a '#' at the beginning...further UP in the file | 12:53 |

| kiliko | Hi I'm trying to create a meta package, but when I'm trying to install it, illget this error: "Package autofs is not installed" - I'm using dpkg -i ./pkg.deb | 12:55 |

| Scusio | when i start the ubuntu live cd 6.06 and 7.10 it stops booting at the 2nd line: "Mounting boot....(devices?)" anyone? | 12:56 |
| simimi | I was wondering, if I installed the x86 edition, yet have a 64 bit processor (dual core), the system is not making full use of the resources available, correct? I know I could change my kernel, but would changing my kernel to reflect this remove my ability to run 32 bit software? | 12:57 |
| simimi | Scusio, run the CD check from the main boot menu? | 12:57 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | !codec | rafaelsoaresbr | 12:57 |
| PriceChild | simimi, you would need to reinstall with a full ubuntu 64bit system | 12:57 |
| PriceChild | simimi, you are not losing much in your current state, and it probably isn't worth the bother | 12:58 |
| ActySofts | !restricted > rafaelsoaresbr | 12:58 |
| simimi | PriceChild, so there is no way to take advantage of anything without reinstalling... ohh ok then, no worries | 12:58 |
| kiliko | Pici, it sould just pick it and install it out of the box. | 12:58 |
| simimi | If I believe I found a critical bug in one of SCIM or gnome-language-support, to whom do I report it? | 12:58 |

| Xsylotte | tt_, etfb: one more question :D, i don't want to mess up something. Can i change order of system in grub boot loader (to make windows default boot ?) | 12:59 |
| simimi | Xsylotte, yes just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:59 |
| tt_ | yes you can | 12:59 |
| Xsylotte | change order ? | 12:59 |
| tt_ | or set def | 12:59 |
| simimi | Xsylotte, I am not sure bit it seems like you change the "chainload+" setting, but that is just a hazy guess from memory | 13:00 |
| tho1 | Xsylotte change the line near the beginning...should say 'default 0'...change it to whatever entry you want. If Windows is the third item in your boot menu, then change it to 2...notice it starts counting at 0 | 13:00 |

| troythetechguy | void^, Thanks. All I had to do was enter the command. I assume the "1" I was recommend to enter as an argument, is the # of seconds in which it updates? | 13:04 |

| cleaton | the package name is startupmanager | 13:05 |
| cleaton | it should be in the gusty repo | 13:05 |
| Xsylotte | tho1, if i change default, then i should comment "savedefault" ? | 13:05 |
| moofoo | hello, i've configured a luks with cryptosetup, but /etc/init.d/cryptdisks does not ask for a password on startup (i tried the patch from 62751 though I'm running gutsy but this still don't help) any idea why this does not work? | 13:06 |
| tho1 | Xsylotte not necessary. If you change the line to read 'default saved' then every time you boot it will boot the same thing as last time. But if you are using a specific default (0,1,2,etc) then savedefault is ignored | 13:06 |
| Xsylotte | tho1, i've put default as 3 | 13:07 |
| Xsylotte | because i have 3 ubuntu start up lines, and then windows | 13:07 |
| Xsylotte | ubuntu, ubuntu safe mode, ubuntu memory test, windows ? | 13:07 |
| tho1 | Xsylotte that means windows is the fourth entry on the boot menu, right? | 13:07 |
| Xsylotte | 0,1,2, 3 ? | 13:07 |
| tho1 | Xsylotte right...that would be 3. | 13:07 |
| moofoo | one remark: the drive is attached via usb... and manually starting cryptdisks from console later on works fine | 13:07 |

| Xsylotte | tho1, i wanted that, beucase my mum is using this computer too | 13:08 |
| Xsylotte | :D | 13:08 |

| kazol | I was thinking of that... | 13:23 |
| devasura__ | kazol, partial rar files can be exracted by using "unrar -kb e file.rar". kb imples keep broken. Couldnt find the same option for unzip!! | 13:23 |

| zakia | i have a machine zehere ubuntu 5,10 can install i want to in place convert it to debian etch is it possible | 13:23 |
| tho1 | devasura__ as the error indicates the file directory is stored at the end of a zip file, so there is no way for the unzip to know about the files if the end is missing | 13:23 |
| devasura__ | tho1: shoulnt it be stored in the beginning?? | 13:25 |

| devasura__ | tho1: thanks | 13:25 |
| kaleh | tzd: just copy/paste it to which ever folder u want to | 13:26 |
| tzd | kaleh: i have it installed somewhere i think? when i try running thunderbird via cmd "thunderbird" it asks me to install it again. I've done this as well and still get the same error. Iconia told me to restore the thunderbird bin file from thrash and then it should work again | 13:28 |
| Slart | rubydiamond: I think it's grep -R pattern *.rb ..try that.. if it doesn't work I'll try to come up with something else | 13:29 |
| simimi | cleaton, I do not have startupmanager in my repo,apparently? | 13:29 |
| tzd | kaleh: i'm also not sure which bin file i need to restore... i have 5 different thunderbird folders in my thrash and i think at least 1 of them are reffering to thunderbird 3.0a (the nightly build) which i really don't want again | 13:29 |
| boris | when i do 'sudo shutdown now' i get something like 'local process terminated' | 13:29 |

| RatThing | snkmad, is the hard drive problematic, have you had trouble with it before the upgrade? | 13:49 |
| snkmad | then it asked me to reboot | 13:49 |
| Myrtti | ikonia: still there? | 13:49 |
| snkmad | the HHD is fine, im using winxp on the other partition on the same drive | 13:49 |
| rubydiamond | Slart, found one => find . -name "*.rb" -exec grep 'search_string' {} \; -print | 13:49 |
| Slart | rubydiamond: ah.. I always forget about find.. nice one | 13:49 |
| Slart | rubydiamond: but that one only searches rb files.. | 13:50 |
| tich | how would i go about translating a program | 13:50 |
| Slart | tich: translating from what to what? | 13:50 |
| tich | slart: french to english | 13:50 |
| RatThing | snkmad I take it then you are unable to go into safe mode when grub boots up, recovery mode that is. | 13:50 |
| rubydiamond | Slart, yes | 13:50 |
| Slart | tich: oh.. depends on the program.. some applications have text files with all text strings in them.. some have stuff hardcoded | 13:51 |
| snkmad | RatThing yeah cant go into safe mode either | 13:51 |
| snkmad | ill try to boot into my livecd later | 13:51 |
| snkmad | just wanna know what should i do, and if my partition is lost? | 13:51 |
| RatThing | snkmad do you actually see a Grub message? | 13:52 |
| snkmad | yeah | 13:52 |
| snkmad | grub appears, with all normal boot options | 13:52 |
| tich | slart: how do i tell the difference? | 13:52 |
| snkmad | and if i choose any of the ubuntu ones | 13:52 |
| vol_ | Anyone? | 13:52 |
| RatThing | snkmad, did you install xp after you upgraded? | 13:52 |
| snkmad | itll tell something like partition not found, cant remember the exact message | 13:52 |
| Hiseran | tell us the program tich | 13:52 |
| Centipeed | Can anyone tell me how to stop Pidgin from opening at startup? | 13:52 |
| Hiseran | you should probably ask the developers if you arent sure tich | 13:53 |
| tzd | kaleh: got the K-menu to work again... just had to direct the link to the file you told me to double click. I then had to change the working folder to my profile folder which where in a different place. Thank you so much for your help! | 13:53 |
| tho1 | Centipeed it is an option in pidgin | 13:53 |
| Centipeed | I tried to find it | 13:53 |
| tich | Hiseran: VideoManager | 13:53 |
| snkmad | RatThing no, i had winxp, then installed 7.10 just when it was out, then never booted xp again, was full time linux | 13:53 |
| Centipeed | But I'm probably being stupid | 13:53 |
| rcomalta___ | any one have ubutu as server here | 13:53 |
| snkmad | its really weird using winxp again... | 13:53 |
| Hiseran | tich I would look at the source code or ask the developers and save time | 13:54 |
| jdecoste | hi there | 13:54 |
| tho1 | Centipeed i think it is a plugin...trying to locate it now | 13:54 |
| RatThing | snkmad there are some windows tools that will let you see the linux partition, but booting from something like xnopix might be useful. I can't see how an upgrade would kill a partition so I am sure it is still there. | 13:54 |
| snkmad | RatThing well i have my ubuntu livecd here | 13:55 |
| snkmad | i hope nothing is destroyed | 13:55 |
| RatThing | snkmad It would be useful to examine your grub.conf | 13:55 |
| tich | hiseran: it has an xml2translate.py file which i thought i could just translate but when changed it i received errors. | 13:55 |
| snkmad | its so strange, i just updated as usual, turned off the pc, and today this... | 13:56 |
| tich | i guess i will ask the developers... but i was hoping to do it tonight. | 13:56 |
| tho1 | Centipeed can't seem to locate it. I know it can be done...it doesn't start automatically for me...but I don't recall how I turned it off. | 13:56 |
| Hiseran | did you check the xml files? | 13:56 |
| Gotenks | anyone here know much about IEs4linux? | 13:56 |
| tho1 | rcomalta___ I am using it as a webserver among other things | 13:57 |
| RatThing | snkmad I've seen lost partitions with an unexpected power outage but not in the case that you describe. | 13:57 |
| kaleh | tzd: it's just that u got a bit lucky. ;) | 13:57 |
| tzd | ikonia: Thanks for your great help. Apparantly my thunderbird syndrome is still weird (wont start with thunderbird or mozilla-thunderbird command i konsole) although i've recieved help to start it via usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird . After that I was able to link back to it via K-menu and voila it's back on track (apart from the konsole start) | 13:57 |
| tho1 | snkmad I have a text file on restoring grub from the live cd....if you want I can pastebin it for you | 13:57 |
| snkmad | and the problem is, i have to do some urgent work, so no time to fix it now | 13:57 |
| tzd | kaleh: haha yep :) I thought of reinstalling the whole OS this morning but someone tipped me of this channel :) | 13:58 |
| vol_ | Hello, I've just installed java 6 via apt-get, however, my links still point at 5. I know that there's a simple command to change these over, does anyone know what it is? | 13:58 |
| snkmad | tho1 id really appreciate that | 13:58 |
| syc0 | hey tzd me too | 13:58 |
| syc0 | tzd what happened to ur reinstall thing | 13:58 |
| vol_ | Menu shortcuts work as well for me | 13:58 |
| jdecoste | anyone ever setup a multiseat pc ? | 13:58 |
| kaleh | tzd: that wudn't hv solved the problem in anyway | 13:58 |
| kaleh | !! | 13:58 |
| tzd | syc0: didn't have to reinstall.. got it working now ::D | 13:58 |
| syc0 | hey kaleh good morning | 13:58 |
| void^ | vol_: updates-alternatives --config java | 13:58 |
| vol_ | thank you | 13:58 |
| syc0 | what i did what change my sources.list from dappy to hardy | 13:58 |
| rcomalta___ | if any one have a web server let me know | 13:59 |
| tzd | kaleh: yeah it would since I didn't have this problem until i decided to go for the nightly build of thunderbird | 13:59 |
| kaleh | syc0: good evening ;) | 13:59 |
| syc0 | not hardy, gutsy | 13:59 |
| syc0 | from dapper | 13:59 |
| syc0 | (im new to ubuntu) | 13:59 |
| tho1 | snkmad http://pastebin.com/d7d16bc58 | 13:59 |
| syc0 | and then i try to upgrade every package, and i basically fail all the time because of VIM | 13:59 |
| snkmad | tho1 thx man | 13:59 |
| tho1 | rcomalta___ yes...I use ubuntu as a webserver | 13:59 |
| syc0 | so i did a aptitude -full-upgrade | 14:00 |
| syc0 | and i fail with vim | 14:00 |
| wols | syc0: you cannot update to gutsy from dapper. only from dappre to edgy to feisty to gutsy | 14:00 |
| tho1 | snkmad that was originally written to restore a botched boot sector...hence the references to fixing windows xp and then fixing grub | 14:00 |
| syc0 | ooh nobody told me that | 14:00 |
| syc0 | ok so i should change my sources.list | 14:00 |
| syc0 | to ah, edgy sources | 14:00 |
| wols | syc0: you already have a fairly broken system now package management wise | 14:00 |
| rcomalta___ | tho 1 is not let me delate files in var www why | 14:01 |
| syc0 | resolution? | 14:01 |
| syc0 | its quite easy to break this OS i feel now. | 14:01 |
| kaleh | syc0: how abt installing hardy from a CD? | 14:01 |
| syc0 | its not working out like that. | 14:01 |
| tho1 | rcomalta___ are you trying to delete them as root? or have you made your user a member of the www group? | 14:01 |
| rcomalta___ | no | 14:02 |
| tho1 | rcomalta___ it is just a permissions thing | 14:02 |
| syc0 | i already have servers running | 14:02 |
| rcomalta___ | how can i do that | 14:02 |
| rcomalta___ | tho 1 no | 14:02 |
| makiolo__ | !man | 14:02 |
| ubotu | The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 14:02 |
| tho1 | rcomalta___ I usually configure apache to point to a folder in my home directory for the wwwroot...that way I don't run into such problems | 14:02 |
| syc0 | shit... | 14:02 |
| syc0 | thanks for the quick help | 14:02 |
| Pici | !language | syc0 | 14:02 |

| rcomalta___ | tho1 how can i do that | 14:02 |
| === sKy\ is now known as sKy\_ | ||
| tho1 | rcomalta___ I don't recall how I did it....I am logged into the server now looking...give me a minute | 14:03 |
| rcomalta___ | thanks tho | 14:03 |
| === sKy\_ is now known as sKy\ | ||
| syc0 | what do i dooo | 14:04 |
| syc0 | heh | 14:04 |
| Slart | tich: sorry... got some visitors.. about the translation thingy.. I guess you'll have to ask the developers.. they might even tell about any specifics or special things to consider.. starting without checking with the developers might just waste your time.. perhaps they have a finished translation they haven't released yet. | 14:04 |
| kitche | syc0: install hardy from cd not sure if they have an alternate cd or not which can be used to upgrade existing systems | 14:05 |
| tich | hiseran: i maybe figured it out... maybe. | 14:05 |
| tich | thanks for the help | 14:05 |
| Hiseran | tich: alright | 14:05 |
| syc0 | its not working out like that | 14:05 |
| tich | slart: i think i got it! | 14:05 |
| kitche | syc0: well then your stuck with a broken system | 14:05 |
| kitche | syc0: but install hardy from alternate cd is the safest way following the upgrade way but if you won't do that then your stuck\ | 14:06 |
| kaleh | tzd: re-installing wouldn't work because this is thunderbird's problem, i guess. not the package manager's | 14:06 |
| tho1 | rcomalta___ /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default I changed DocumentRoot to read 'DocumentRoot /home/<user>/public_html' | 14:07 |
| komputes | Can someone give me the command to remove a path from the $PATH variable? The path is /home/na/c/ | 14:07 |
| karol^ | hi, where do I need to add 'route add' commands to make them work on startup? | 14:07 |
| kitche | komputes: just remove /home/na/c from $PATH by reexporting it | 14:07 |
| david__ | thol how can i do this please | 14:08 |
| komputes | kitche: whats the command to re-explore $PATH ??? | 14:08 |
| === jdecoste is now known as beasty_ | ||
| david__ | thol i am new in this can you help me how can i do this | 14:08 |
| kitche | komputes: export PATH=<whatyou want in your path> | 14:08 |
| kaleh | tzd: i guess thunderbird's packaging isn't right | 14:09 |
| komputes | kitche: how do i replace it with nuthin, null, nada ?? | 14:09 |
| kaleh | tzd: since this is a nightly build | 14:09 |
| kitche | komputes: well if you replace PATh with nothing so it looks like export PATH=" " you'll won't be able to run any applications | 14:09 |
| Centipeed | Can anyone help me stop Pidgin opening on startup? | 14:10 |
| komputes | kitche: i just want to remove this one path, not all of them | 14:10 |
| Centipeed | I've looked at the options and can't find it | 14:10 |
| Centipeed | And it's not listed in the startup programs list | 14:10 |
| tho1 | Centipeed you running gnome, kde or something else? | 14:10 |
| Centipeed | Gnome | 14:10 |
| kitche | komputes: well just remove /home/na/c from PATH then by rewriting the full PATH but leave out the directory that you don't want in it | 14:10 |
| komputes | kitche: oh wait, $PATH is bash window specific, so if i restart my shell it will be gone | 14:11 |
| tho1 | Centipeed ok...this is old memory so may be wrong. When you log out is there a checkbox for saving the state? | 14:11 |
| Centipeed | You can't log out | 14:11 |
| Centipeed | As far as I can tell | 14:11 |
| syc0 | why didnet the operating system STOP me from updating a conflicting package sourcelist | 14:11 |
| kitche | komputes: yes unless you wrote Path into a .bashrc or .bash_profile but it's shell specific not really bash | 14:11 |
| komputes | kitche: what about ~/.profile | 14:12 |
| komputes | kitche: can i put it in there too? | 14:12 |
| kitche | komputes: yes or that file | 14:12 |
| komputes | kitche: thanks | 14:12 |
| dadehoog | I'm backing up a video DVD (which already has a scratch on it - but seems to play ok) with DVD:Rip ... I'm keen to use an open format. I've selected "ogg" format, and the ".ogm" file format ... but I'm not sure which of the available codecs to pick ... thoughts ? | 14:12 |
| dadehoog | the default is XVid ... but I'm pretty sure that's not an open fomat. | 14:13 |
| david__ | thol how can i edit this | 14:13 |
| david__ | what i need to do | 14:13 |
| tho1 | Centipeed as I recall for gnome, when you exit you are presented with a screen that allows logout, restart or shutdown, and there is a checkbox for saving the session | 14:13 |
| Centipeed | tho1: Oh. I thought you meant log out of Pidgin | 14:13 |
| tho1 | Centipeed but I run xfce on all my linux boxes so this is old and maybe erroneous memory. | 14:13 |
| corruptionoflulz | tho1: you have it right | 14:14 |
| kitche | dadehoog: Xvid is open | 14:14 |
| Centipeed | There's no save session checkbox for me | 14:14 |
| tho1 | Centipeed no...what you need to do is shut down pidgin, then log out of gnome and make sure you DO check the box...so it remembers pidgin is off | 14:14 |
| mattwalston | Anyone using vmware-server on gutsy? If you logoff as the user that started VMs then the machines power off. Any else notice that? | 14:14 |
| Centipeed | Ok. Imma try that | 14:15 |
| Centipeed | I'll be back if it doesn't work :P | 14:15 |
| pteague_work | is there any way to keep from getting the 'restricted drivers' pop up every time i reboot? | 14:16 |
| dadehoog | kitche: really ? I was under the impression that it was a commercially licensed MPEG-4 format ..? | 14:17 |
| kitche | dadehoog: that is Divx totally different codec | 14:17 |
| kitche | dadehoog: Xvid is the same thing as Divx but open source :) | 14:17 |
| dadehoog | kitche: okeydoke. :) | 14:17 |
| mohamed | hi gyts | 14:18 |
| mohamed | hi guys | 14:18 |
| dadehoog | kitche: and the name is a 'pun' on the reverse-engineering of DivX ? | 14:18 |
| mohamed | am having a problem with bluetooth anyone can help me ? | 14:18 |
| kitche | dadehoog: probably never looked into it | 14:18 |
| Centipeed | Ok, that's done | 14:18 |
| Centipeed | Pidgin no longer starts up | 14:18 |
| dadehoog | kitche: where is ogg/theora at ..? Is it mature enough for backups ? | 14:18 |
| willwork4foo | Hi! I've been trying to locate a decent howto for creating a bootable Ubuntu USB thumbdrive? I've found a guide that tells me how to do it in windows... only problem is I don't run windows. | 14:18 |
| tho1 | Centipeed I have my moments | 14:19 |
| Centipeed | :D | 14:19 |
| syc0 | what can i upgrade Gutsy to? | 14:19 |
| willwork4foo | anyone got any decent howto URLs? | 14:19 |
| syc0 | hardy? | 14:19 |
| kitche | syc0: yes | 14:19 |
| tho1 | Centipeed now next time you log out, remember to UNcheck the box so it doesn't remember what you have now (unless you want it to) | 14:19 |
| mohamed | guys help me | 14:19 |
| Centipeed | Problem now is that I've added devilspie to my startup programs, but it doesn't have any effect on irssi and Pidgin when I start them manually | 14:19 |
| kitche | dadehoog: it's good for audio never tried it for anything else though | 14:19 |
| syc0 | is that recomended | 14:19 |
| kitche | syc0: well if you want to report bugreports and stuff for hardy then yes | 14:20 |

| freak124 | I just installed LAMPP (XAMPP for linux), but now I have a little problem: whenever I go to http://localhost, I'm automaticaly redirected to http://localhost/xampp, even thoug there is an index.php in htdocs. Does anyone know how to solve this? It even happens when LAMPP isn't running. | 14:22 |
| mohamed | yes i did this | 14:22 |
| mohamed | i didnt solve the problem | 14:22 |
| L0we | still not visible? | 14:22 |
| mohamed | yes | 14:22 |
| NickBurnsSNL | I'm sure this has been asked before, but after the Fiesty upgrade, an existing users desktop windows appear to be 'stuck' and/or the toolbars are no longer available to grab and move around. | 14:22 |
| mohamed | but my pc shows that there is a phone but cant connect to it | 14:23 |
| NickBurnsSNL | But a user added 'after' seems to work fine. | 14:23 |
| kitche | freak124: xampp goes to localhost/xampp you need to configure xampp correctly since xampp highjacks port 80 if it's not configured correctly | 14:23 |
| perfector | NickBurnsSNL: disable desktop effects | 14:23 |
| L0we | weird... have you paired your phone before with this pc? | 14:23 |
| mohamed | it works with vista | 14:23 |
| NickBurnsSNL | perfector: ah....! is that it? cool I will try that, thank you. | 14:23 |
| L0we | in windows or something | 14:23 |
| mohamed | no problems | 14:24 |
| wo0f | yo | 14:24 |
| perfector | NickBurnsSNL: its always best u disable desktop effects during updates | 14:24 |
| wo0f | have they fixed the bug in 7.10 about the loading screen? | 14:24 |
| L0we | your phone is confused, the mac address in windows and ubuntu is the same | 14:24 |
| freak124 | kitche: that sounds like chinese to me. Can you tell me how to fix it? I'm new to ubuntu. | 14:24 |
| wo0f | its a pain installing 7.04 and then apting update | 14:24 |
| mohamed | i think its a bluetooth service missing to make it connect and send files | 14:24 |
| L0we | best thing is to delete the partnership with vista | 14:24 |
| lesshaste_ | what app will let me see someone's webcam easily? | 14:25 |

| L0we | no, that's my problem too, but for that you have to be paired | 14:26 |
| mohamed | how to pair it | 14:27 |
| L0we | remove the partnership from the phone | 14:27 |
| L0we | after that, scan again and connect | 14:27 |

| cyka^ | ubuntu seems to ahve dropped a partition... and i have no idea how to get it backk... | 14:30 |
| karol^ | can I add static routes to /etc/interfaces without disabling dhcp? | 14:30 |
| perfector | cyka^: dropped?? u mean u cant see it on ur desktop? | 14:30 |
| karol^ | all examples I found have iface eth0 inet static | 14:30 |

| mohamed | "obex://[00:19:63:a2:42:47]" is not a valid location | 14:30 |
| komputes | lesshaste_: I have used it (http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/beta/) it works, but may crash with video sometimes | 14:30 |
| Centipeed | I've got devilspie ~/.devilsppie/*.ds" in my startup programs, but it doesn't appear to do anything | 14:30 |
| mohamed | please check the spelling and try again | 14:30 |
| cyka^ | yeah and it doesn't seem to want to read it correctly either | 14:30 |
| perfector | cyka^: is it a ntfs partition? | 14:31 |
| Centipeed | After I start up, I open irssi and Pidgin (The two programs it affects when it is running), and there is no effect seen | 14:31 |
| cyka^ | yes it is | 14:31 |
| Centipeed | Although if I start up devilspie manually, it'll work fine | 14:31 |
| cyka^ | but the other partition on that hd is ntfs and it reads that fine | 14:31 |
| tho1 | cyka^ this might help...I haven't heard back from the other guy <smile> | 14:31 |
| komputes | Does anyone know what file I can run start up scripts from? | 14:31 |

| kitche | komputes: but I believe .bashrc is the one you want I usually make them both run from .bashrc so I know both are ran | 14:48 |

| chraso | thanks node i think i find what i was lookin for | 14:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | grub doesnt diferenciate | 14:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | it is hd0,0 | 14:58 |
| perfector | Jack_Sparrow: sd would be sata/scsi drives and hd would be ide drives if im not wrong | 14:58 |
| rameshasdf | yes mine is sata | 14:59 |
| perfector | Jack_Sparrow: but in newer releases everything is sd | 14:59 |

| rameshasdf | ok so is in the installation menu in ubuntu instead of hd0 for grub i must type sd0 | 15:00 |
| wols | rameshasdf no | 15:00 |
| wols | there never is a sd0 | 15:00 |
| Pici | wols: The distiction they were making was for device nodes, its always hd# for grub (right?) | 15:01 |

| rameshasdf | but then why doesn't it detect my linux installation in grub | 15:01 |
| wols | Pici: yes always. and grub only deals with BIOS drives. (0x80, 0x81 and so on) | 15:01 |
| wols | never with linux devicenodes | 15:01 |
| Pici | wols: Right | 15:01 |

| Prodromoi | I've checked the network cable, the route and the network card - they're all working. | 15:11 |
| Shapeshifter | quaal: It should be according to some benchomarks | 15:12 |
| Kl4m | Prodromoi: you installed a dhcp server which doesn't give IPs or it's a DHCP client? | 15:12 |
| neosix_ | kiliko: well that packages doesn't exist in apt-list | 15:12 |
| Prodromoi | The router is giving the right IPs to the other three machines on the LAN. | 15:12 |
| Pici | kiliko: Launchpad.net provides PPA (personal package archives) that are basically a personal apt repository for people. Join #launchpad or visit launchpad.net for more. | 15:12 |
| kiliko | Pici, seems like an overkill for me, or is there any good package for creating a fast repo? | 15:12 |
| Pici | kiliko: see above ^ | 15:12 |
| Prodromoi | Kl4m - not sure I'm afraid. It's whatever the default of 7.10 64-bit Ubuntu installed. | 15:12 |

| MacTheMad | jack sparrow: yes, I was referred to f-prot & clam but I'm unsure which out of all the options to choose from I would want to install... I'm very familiar with avg tho from windows | 15:24 |
| Kl4m | Prodromoi: mask will be 255.255.255.0 address will be 192.168.x.25 gateway will be 192.168.x.1 , where x is the same as on the other machine. | 15:24 |
| EdgEy | CroX, is it a .deb? source files? what | 15:25 |
| wols | CroX: and what is the full filename? | 15:25 |
| rcomalta___ | does any oneone run ubuntu server ver | 15:25 |
| EdgEy | mm yes, good plan | 15:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MacTheMad: I am not surprised it isnt in the repos as it isnt needed in linux-ubuntu, just for those most likely you that are trying to protect their windows users | 15:25 |
| CroX | EdgEy: Från mozilla.com, a tarball with binaries | 15:25 |
| wols | MacTheMad: why do you want a virus scanner? | 15:25 |
| CroX | wolferine: firefox and firefox-bin | 15:25 |
| CroX | wols: firefox and firefox-bin | 15:25 |
| Kl4m | rcomalta___: see above, and yes many people run ubuntu server, but what is "ver"? | 15:25 |
| wols | CroX: I said FULL filename. | 15:25 |
| linux4me | another vmware 5.5.1, ubuntu 7.10 question. how can I get ubuntu 7.10 to see my dvd burner as i want to burn an iso image. when i right click on the iso image in ubuntu, i only get the option to write to disc image and not a dvd or cd. any thoughts? | 15:25 |
| MacTheMad | wols: for windows file sharing | 15:25 |
| CroX | wols: firefox and firefox-bin is the FULL filenames of the binaries. | 15:26 |
| ip00n | does anyone know how i get myself unbanned from #math? | 15:26 |
| wols | linux4me: use a burn program like k3b or gnomebaker | 15:26 |
| CroX | ip00n: How does one get banned to that channel? :P | 15:26 |
| syc0 | what i did what change my sources.list from dapper to gutsy , now its not working what do i do? | 15:26 |
| ip00n | crox: i dont know. | 15:26 |
| wols | ip00n: offtopic. ask #freenode | 15:26 |
| ip00n | ah | 15:26 |
| ip00n | thanks | 15:26 |
| Kl4m | ip00n: ask #not-math | 15:26 |
| perfector | tho1: i tried searching synaptic with name and description for gtk-config.. found none | 15:27 |
| wols | syc0: tell us more about the errors | 15:27 |
| malin | any ideas on my network problems? | 15:27 |
| syc0 | You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. | 15:27 |
| syc0 | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 15:27 |

| wols | perfector packages.ubuntu.com. hint: it's not a package but a program | 15:27 |
| wols | syc0: stop that! | 15:27 |
| wols | syc0: remove vim | 15:27 |
| syc0 | ok! | 15:28 |
| perfector | wols: ok its in the package libgtk1.2-dev tho1 | 15:28 |
| tho1 | perfector I'm sorry...can't seem to find it. I located it by accident found it on a menu someplace. It was some sort of gtk configurator...found several web pages about editing .gtkrc and changing fonts, but can't find a reference to that program | 15:28 |
| wols | malin: do you have a network interface? sudo ifconfig -a. what network card/chip is it? | 15:28 |
| perfector | wols: tho1 hope it works | 15:28 |
| drez | hi ppl | 15:28 |
| syc0 | ok 1 sec | 15:29 |
| MacTheMad | jack sparrow: does linux not need any av protection? what if I implement windows file sharing via samba? | 15:29 |
| wols | MacTheMad: windows malware cannot infect linux in a meaningful way | 15:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !virus | 15:29 |
| ubotu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 15:29 |
| malin | wols, everything runs from liveCD, network interface looks ok, i'll check the network card | 15:29 |
| wols | MacTheMad: there are about 5 or 6 malware programs out in the wild for linux max | 15:29 |
| wols | malin: I asked you something | 15:29 |
| drez | i want ubuntu set to english language but with the dutch monetary notation, where do i set that en how? | 15:29 |
| syc0 | THanks | 15:30 |
| wols | drez: /etc/environment for console. not sure about X/gnome | 15:30 |
| MacTheMad | wols: ok but what about the windows machines that will connect? | 15:30 |
| syc0 | Errors were encountered while processing: | 15:30 |
| syc0 | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 15:30 |
| wols | MacTheMad: AV programs are snake oil | 15:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MacTheMad: let the windows people fend for themselves | 15:31 |
| * wols puts syc0 on ignore for extended channel pasting | 15:31 | |
| syc0 | wols deal with it | 15:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | syc0: behave | 15:31 |
| dundel | hmmmm | 15:31 |
| Pici | syc0: Use a pastebin. | 15:31 |
| syc0 | sorry i dont know the rules | 15:31 |

| syc0 | Nice! | 15:31 |
| syc0 | this channel is quite unique. | 15:32 |
| malin | wols: the network card is ASRock In RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ | 15:32 |
| wols | MacTheMad: checking with linux is the wrong approach tho. not the least cause there aren't any good linux AV programs. just no need | 15:32 |
| wols | malin: I asked for an existing interface | 15:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MacTheMad: they all need to have av and anti-spy and anti-ad and better firewalls so deal with it on that side. | 15:32 |

| chraso | hey node | 15:32 |
| MacTheMad | jack sparrow: ty | 15:32 |
| Pici | MacTheMad: There are linux antivirus programs, but afaik, they only detect windows viruses. | 15:32 |
| malin | wols, ifconfig shows that it's eth0 | 15:33 |
| Slart | anyone know of a good howto for securing a ubuntu box? things to think of etc.. | 15:33 |
| wols | Pici: but compared to windows ones they are not very sophisticated | 15:33 |
| Pici | wols: Right, they are more for mailservers/fileservers. | 15:33 |
| wols | malin: driver it uses it 8139too? | 15:33 |
| syc0 | ok heres a beter result: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49027/ | 15:33 |
| malin | yes | 15:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | syc0: thanks | 15:33 |
| drez | wols: how do i set the monetary variables? | 15:34 |
| drez | which names | 15:34 |
| chraso | need help again about that stupic error. "The Composite extension not available" when trying to even just run desktop-effects anyone please assist me about this error. i'm using fglrx driver came with fiesty dvd | 15:34 |
| MacTheMad | pici: that's ok... it would be more for the windows boxes that will connect to this file server once I've got it up | 15:34 |
| Pici | chraso: What video card? | 15:34 |
| wols | drez: man locale. LC_MONETARY | 15:35 |

| chraso | ATI Readon Xpress 200 | 15:35 |
| chraso | its onboard | 15:35 |
| syc0 | Jack_Sparrow: i changed source.list from dapper to gutsy... did apt-get update, upgrade, i tried all the apt-get options heh. and aptitude etc.. | 15:35 |
| wols | chraso: is xserver-xgl installed and running? | 15:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | syc0: you cant do that | 15:35 |
| wols | Jack_Sparrow: unfortunately he already has | 15:36 |
| drez | wols: thanks | 15:36 |
| chraso | don't know how do i? | 15:36 |
| wols | chraso: ps aux |grep -i xgl | 15:36 |
| syc0 | yeah i thought it would say, no, new ubuntu user, you cannot do that | 15:36 |
| syc0 | heh | 15:36 |
| jpg | how can i autoupgrade my ubuntu? i've got major errors... | 15:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wols: obciously he can and did.. but it wont work | 15:36 |
| pteague_work | i figured out my firefox issue... layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation ... it's turned off by default seemingly on everything except windows | 15:36 |
| Pici | !wfm | 15:36 |
| ubotu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 15:36 |
| syc0 | it must be very common | 15:36 |
| wols | Jack_Sparrow: with enough --force it will. but if he can pull it off is another matter | 15:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wols: easier to save his stuff and reinstall | 15:37 |
| Pici | syc0: The reccomended upgrade path is through each version, ie: dapper to edgy. edgy to feisty, feisty to gutsy. | 15:37 |
| MacTheMad | pici: however I think I'm going to take jack sparrow's & wols' advice & deal with it on the windows side... I just don't understand how they get infected... I download p2p all the time & very rarely get infected & on those few occasions I've always been able to quickly & easily fix | 15:37 |
| Pici | MacTheMad: Sounds good. | 15:37 |

| syc0 | Jack_Sparrow what should i do? | 15:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | syc0: I would suggest save your stuff and reinstall | 15:38 |
| syc0 | pathetic. | 15:38 |
| syc0 | hehe | 15:38 |
| chraso | will have to reboot for that(as i have dial up and can't find the driver for modem.it's agere pci sv92pp. pm me if u knows about its driver available for lin) and what after that? | 15:38 |
| syc0 | aye yaye yayeee | 15:38 |

| Tyczek | xd | 15:39 |
| malin | wols, i can assume that it' s not a problem that i run ubuntu from liveCD instead of hard drive install, it should be working normally, right? | 15:39 |
| syc0 | sorry im new here | 15:39 |
| Pici | syc0: From where? | 15:39 |
| Freakazoi1 | some1 cann tell me why flgrx and fglgears logs me out? | 15:39 |

| Jack_Sparrow | syc0: you can see the topic as well as the coc link | 15:40 |
| Pici | syc0: I understand, what walkthrough told you to do that is what I'm asking. | 15:40 |
| malin | well. then i have completely no idea what might be wrong | 15:40 |
| syc0 | hey, well thanks a lot! honestly, this channel is helpful++ | 15:40 |

| alnokta_ | wols, who decided #ubuntu to be an english only channel? | 15:44 |
| Pici | pteague_work: just run it with no arguments. | 15:44 |
| pteague_work | pici> yeah, but i was hoping to use grep on it to see what was auto installed | 15:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | alnokta_: it is and has been english only | 15:44 |
| pteague_work | iA blah ... | 15:44 |

| jpg | wols, with what command you can manually remove files in linux, sorry i'm a newbie...:| | 15:46 |
| syc0 | Nice | 15:46 |
| wols | jpg: rm | 15:46 |
| alnokta_ | Jack_Sparrow, then it was never decided..hence no need to restrict languages here. its ubuntu with no prefix, humanity to others for god's sake. | 15:46 |
| RoAkSoAx | jpg, rm filename | 15:46 |
| wols | alnokta_: irc is not a democracy... | 15:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | alnokta_: that is Offtopic.. and we have a channel for that too | 15:46 |
| alnokta_ | wols, then don't tell people to shutup and speak a certain language. | 15:47 |
| Pici | alnokta_: We can discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic if you like. | 15:47 |
| RoAkSoAx | jpg, rm -rf foldername -- (If that folder has files and folders) | 15:47 |
| wols | alnokta_: I will always cause it's channel policy | 15:47 |
| Pici | alnokta_: Where do you see that? | 15:47 |
| wols | Pici: I told the indonesian "english only" | 15:47 |
| alnokta_ | Jack_Sparrow, it is not, its about the operation of the channel, i can certainly understand if you say don't speak other languages in #ubuntu-en or us | 15:47 |
| jpg | wols, ok, it worked. now i'll try this apt-get install again? | 15:48 |
| wols | jpg: sure | 15:48 |
| alnokta_ | Pici, saw it a couple of times in the last hours. | 15:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | alnokta_: what part of offtopic are you not understanding | 15:48 |
| RoAkSoAx | alnokta_, it is not only channel only policy, is hole ubuntu policy that should be in english, and that is why there are local communities so that they can spread the word in their own language | 15:48 |
| Pici | alnokta_: This is very offtopic, please lets go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:48 |
| Pici | alnokta_: i.e. not a support question. | 15:48 |
| Desolator | well, why does ubuntu disable root by default and require the user to use sudo? | 15:49 |
| Pici | !sudo | Desolator please read | 15:49 |
| ubotu | Desolator please read: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 15:49 |
| wols | !sudo | 15:49 |
| syc0 | !sudo | 15:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | alnokta_: FYI.. I dont see where ANYONE told you to shutup as you wrote | 15:49 |
| lmosher | I can't get my microphone working w/ scype. It's just a simple mic jack on my laptop - any ideas? Has anyone had and fixed this problem? | 15:49 |
| Pici | !offtopic | all | 15:49 |
| ubotu | all: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 15:49 |
| wols | Jack_Sparrow: I told the indonesian to talk english only which alnokta_ in here took offense with | 15:49 |
| syc0 | lmosher recheck your mic settings | 15:49 |
| lmosher | I can't get my microphone working at all, I should say. I'm trying to use skype, but skype is not the issue, mic doesn't work with everything | 15:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Desolator: To protect the users from themselves.. If they know enough to set the root password.. they know enough to avboid trouble | 15:50 |
| lmosher | syc0, Volume up, mic selected. If I hit test in sound preferences I get the error: Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! | 15:50 |
| syc0 | Hmm soundcard issue? Try using a USB Micraphne headset, purhaps the soundcard settings are bunk | 15:50 |
| jpg | wols, it says (in finnish) that i have to remove "mono-xsp-base mono-xsp" by using "apt-get autoremove" funktion, should i try that? | 15:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wols: I understand that, but he said he was told to shutup.. which would be rude.. which you were not | 15:50 |
| syc0 | !mic | 15:50 |
| Desolator | Every cracker trying to brute-force their way into your box will know it has an account named root and will try that first. What they don't know is what the usernames of your other users are. Since the root account password is locked, this attack becomes essentially meaningless, since there is no password to crack or guess in the first place. --> that's covering a big problem: if the hacker is in your system he knows your current password and he just ru | 15:50 |
| syc0 | !soundcard | 15:50 |
| wols | jpg: export LANG=C | 15:50 |
| lmosher | Issue is I need to use my mic now. Everything else on the sound card works fine. I need to conf. call w/ a colleage in Germany soon... :/ | 15:50 |
| Pici | !sound > syc0 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 15:50 |
| wols | jpg: then run the apt-get command again. it will now talk english | 15:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about soundcard - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:51 |
| syc0 | !sound > lmosher | 15:51 |
| dadehoog | Desolator: sorry, your comments got cut off there ... | 15:51 |
| Desolator | that's covering a big problem: if the hacker is in your system he knows your current password and he just runs "sudo rm -R *" and enters your password. How secure is that? 7% of all compromised GNU/Linux PCs run Ubuntu >.> | 15:51 |
| syc0 | umd.edu is that umass dartmouth | 15:51 |
| wols | Desolator: no cracker ever will cause all reasonable distros have root logins disabled by default. not to mention he will know by fingerprinting what OS you run | 15:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Desolator: That conversation needs to move to offtopic as it isnt a support question | 15:52 |

| chraso | >wols< is it the proprietory driver causing the problem? | 15:53 |
| drgeb | Hi I have installed alsa-driver-1.0.15 inside a separate directory at /usr/local/alsa-1.0.15 How can my system recognize this ? Which PATH or LD_LIBPATH variables do I have to update ?> | 15:53 |
| Pici | wols: Warning them in the middle doesn't help. Their buffer is busy pasting stuff so they don't have any control over what happens. | 15:53 |
| wols | chraso: usually yes since it can't do AIGLX and xserver-xgl is needed which has its own can of worms | 15:53 |
| Pici | wols: Best to just give them the !paste | 15:53 |
| wols | chraso: additionally your X200 might even be on the compiz blacklist | 15:53 |
| lmosher | syc0, After a google search it looks like gnome broke mic recording for many, many people in gutsy. Haven't seen a solution yet, so I might be SOL | 15:53 |

| wols | when the paste starts they can't stop it | 15:54 |
| Pici | wols: indeed | 15:54 |
| chraso | >wols< no its supported. actually i found on the web that must use the proprietory driver for compiz for good performance | 15:54 |
| wols | chraso: yes, but you must also use xserver-xgl antil ati gets their homework done | 15:55 |
| jpg | wols, i pasted apt-get install to this pastebin | 15:55 |
| chraso | so u mean to say that part in xorg.conf? | 15:56 |

| Pici | Christina18: You dont. And they can't access your computer. Its just like putting a radio into scan mode and having it pick up different stations. A new station just came on the air and you can listen to it (or connect to it). They cannot connect to you. | 16:05 |
| wols | jpg: /etc/init.d/<mono-xsp or such> stop | 16:05 |
| wols | if that doesn't work: killall /usr/bin/mono | 16:06 |
| sunogbaga | Christina18, you do not need to remove it(i think).. it's just there to give you another option | 16:06 |
| Pici | Christina18: And it being listed there does not mean that you are connected to it, its just a choice. | 16:06 |
| wols | Christina18: do you use any encrption on your AP? WPA maybe? | 16:06 |
| Christina18 | Pici: ok, so nothing to worry or care about in other words ? | 16:07 |
| Pici | Christina18: Well.. if you have no password to the router, then there is a certain amount of risk you are.. well.. risking. But thats a different issue. | 16:08 |

| sunogbaga | Christina18 i think its a router option | 16:12 |
| Guest16155 | sunogbaga: i didnt understand | 16:13 |
| wols | yes, you can see in your router too | 16:13 |
| KNRO | wols: building for Ubuntu, it's Depends, just found out | 16:13 |
| wols | Christina18: thing is, if there is no encryption, everyone with a wlan card can use your AP and surf under your internet IP. if they do something criminal, the police will first knock on your door | 16:13 |

| Abhi | Aye | 16:36 |
| Slart | piotruntu: ok.. I still think it's your monitor that's the blame here.. but you can control certain monitor-things, like brightness and stuff, from ubuntu.. perhaps you can make it autoconfig when you log in or something | 16:36 |
| ianq | sunogbaga: thanks a lot | 16:36 |
| pike_ | wers: what part of gnome do you like or want to keep? | 16:36 |
| ljcasey | Abhi, you need to get out more. | 16:36 |
| bubuntu | hello, anybody knows about huge size font in gnome login? I can't find out it! | 16:36 |
| pike_ | wers: what i mean is it is basically just a collection of stuff so you could run if you wanted even blackbox and gnome-panel | 16:36 |
| wers | I want it to be as complete as xfce, pike_ (but I want to use gnome because it's more solid) | 16:36 |
| ianq | sunogbaga: i just found something in the forums. someone suggested using "/usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant &" and that seems to work | 16:37 |
| ip00n | i have to backup windows documents using a ubuntu liveCD. how do i make ubuntu able to write onto my external HD, which is ntfs formatted? | 16:37 |
| Dark | good morning all | 16:37 |
| wols | !ntfs-3g | 16:37 |
| ubotu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 16:37 |
| ip00n | :) | 16:38 |
| sunogbaga | ianq good then. | 16:38 |
| Dark | i have been baning my head against a wall all night...can someone help me with my networking issue...please | 16:38 |
| wols | ip00n: but it skips you grant table where your permissions are stored. doesn't seem to be a longtime solution for any mysql problem | 16:38 |
| pike_ | wers: so its basically just a collection of libs and stuff. you could run xfce4 but use gnome panel instead with the right theme it would look fine and youd have all your apps and stuff just like gnome. id also consider not using gdm but maybe just startx or xinit to launch it | 16:38 |
| wols | !ask | Dark | 16:38 |
| ubotu | Dark: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 16:38 |
| pike_ | wers: instead of xfcepanel | 16:38 |
| Dark | wols i just installed 7.10 on another computer here at the house--internet works great with the live CD, but once I installed it...no network connection | 16:39 |
| wols | Dark: what network chip? | 16:39 |
| reverseblade | eddy_, press <ALT> <PRINTSCREEN> then while pusshing those type REISUB | 16:39 |
| reverseblade | it will boot your computer if it freezes | 16:39 |
| Dark | wols my router has assigned an IP address, but my computer will not accept it...it seems | 16:40 |
| wers | pike_, the issue here is that I want the integration between gnome's apps | 16:40 |
| wers | what's the best way for me to achieve that, guys? :) | 16:40 |
| eddy_ | reverseblade thanks ill try | 16:40 |
| Dark | i am using the NIC off of my ASUS mobo A8n | 16:40 |
| wols | Dark: that doesn't tell me anything. what chip or driver? | 16:40 |
| wers | hmm.. startx or xinit huh? | 16:40 |
| wers | imma research on that | 16:40 |
| ikonia | wols: nforce4 | 16:40 |
| Dark | wols sorry..one sec | 16:40 |
| ikonia | ooh no thats the a8v | 16:41 |
| wols | Dark: so what driver does it use for you? | 16:41 |
| ikonia | no no, a8n = nforce 4 | 16:41 |
| Dark | it is a Marvel Technology Group 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller | 16:41 |
| ikonia | ok, av8 = nforce 4 | 16:41 |
| ikonia | a8v | 16:41 |
| Dark | wols and how do i tell what driver it is using | 16:41 |

| wols | Dark: pastebin the result | 16:42 |
| ikonia | cherva: this is not a c++ class room | 16:42 |
| ikonia | cherva: this is for ubuntu issues | 16:42 |
| wols | !b-e | cherva | 16:42 |
| ubotu | cherva: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 16:42 |

| ikonia | cherva: no it's not | 16:43 |
| Dark | wols i cant paste in the result, as it is on another machine...but it gives me both of my interfaces (eth0, eth1, and my loopback) | 16:43 |
| sunogbaga | cherva std::cout | 16:43 |
| wols | cherva: no it's not an ubuntu issue. the issue is you don't know C++ which means it's OT here | 16:43 |
| ikonia | sunogbaga: thank you, but I wasn't going to tell him | 16:43 |
| alvint | Qmail is now in the public domain! what are the odds (and what is the timetable) for packaging in ubuntu? | 16:43 |
| Dark | wols the lo has a ip address of 127.0.0.1, and the other two dont have an IP address | 16:43 |

| ikonia | he looks right | 16:44 |
| linux4me | wols - the gui say the partition is /dev/sda3. it is on mount point /media/disk. in terminal ls -hal shows root as the owner | 16:44 |
| Dark | wols i am unable to paste in the resluts | 16:44 |
| cherva | sunogbaga: still the same :( | 16:44 |
| wols | sunogbaga: he namespace std; | 16:44 |
| alvint | ikonia: but before it's license prevented it from being distributed with linux distros. | 16:44 |
| ikonia | anyway, it's OT | 16:44 |
| sunogbaga | wols oh yeah! lemme check | 16:45 |
| ikonia | alvint: yup | 16:45 |
| Dark | wols its on a different machine | 16:45 |
| wols | linux4me: unmount, change the mountpoint to be 777 and remount | 16:45 |
| wols | Dark: then you are SOL | 16:45 |
| Barry1 | ok disconnecting to try and get my 3g usb modem working in linux wish me luck! | 16:46 |
| Dark | wols SOL? are you kidding? | 16:46 |
| pope22 | in my attempts to add Composite to Gutsy and enable desktop effects, i am having troubles. I have looked in the forums, and Google, but all solutions seem to be geared to those who did a hard install, not upgraders such as myself | 16:46 |
| starlight__ | what difference of ubuntu, kubuntu and edubuntu? | 16:46 |
| wols | Dark: either you do what I asked you or you can ask someone else for help but not me. have a nice day | 16:46 |
| pope22 | the window manager, starlight | 16:46 |
| alvint | ikonia: so now I'd like an official ubuntu (or debian) package. I haven't been this excited since java implemented generics! | 16:46 |
| pope22 | er...desktop enviroment rather | 16:46 |
| Pici | starlight__: Desktop Environment and/or default installed packages. | 16:46 |
| dgjones | starlight__, ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE as their desktop environments | 16:47 |
| ikonia | alvint: I've got one for fesity that I'm re-packaging for hardy (probably submited post hardy) but there are problems with uspci distribution rules too | 16:47 |
| Pici | pope22: What kind of problems are you having? | 16:47 |
| wols | pope22: what videocard? | 16:47 |
| Dark | wols how can i paste in the output of the "sudo ifconfig -a" command when the computer we are talking about is unable to reach the network | 16:47 |
| sunogbaga | cherva you shouldve used g++ instead | 16:47 |
| ikonia | Dark: output to a file, but it on a usb stick and move it | 16:47 |
| wols | Dark: you have a harddisk where you can store files. or usb sticks or even floppies | 16:48 |
| Dark | wols sorry...i dont have a usb stick with me at the moment | 16:48 |
| alvint | ikonia: does it need to use uspci? can't it listen directly? | 16:48 |
| wols | you also said it works in liveCD I think | 16:48 |
| ljcasey | Dark, SOL :) | 16:48 |
| Dark | wols dont own a floppy drive | 16:48 |
| ikonia | alvint: it needs uspci and daemon tools | 16:48 |
| pope22 | ATI ( i know, it's the devil) and in my search for how to install composite (for that's what I am told I am missing when i try to enable Desktop Effects) I can't seem to figure out what to apt-get in order to install it | 16:48 |
| Bassetts | My touchpad is being very erratic since updating the kernel and the mouse is skipping everywhere, the side scroll also stops working after it freezes for a few seconds | 16:48 |
| Dark | ljcasey this is in no way funny or fun | 16:48 |
| wols | Dark: I we are supposed to help you we need more information. if you cannot provide the information then you are SOL. easy as that. | 16:48 |
| Pici | pope22: What video card do you have? | 16:48 |
| Pici | pope22: Exact model pelase. | 16:49 |
| alvint | ikonia: oh | 16:49 |
| wols | pope22: what driver? | 16:49 |
| Pici | s/pelase/please | 16:49 |
| alvint | ikonia: still, it would be nice | 16:49 |
| pope22 | 200m, i'm using flgx for the driver | 16:49 |
| ikonia | alvint: I have it all packaged and working on fesity, and I aimed to submit to hardy, but it will probably be sumbitted for the release after hardy | 16:49 |
| ljcasey | Dark, maybe copy it manually into a file? | 16:49 |
| profanephobia | pope22, sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl | 16:49 |
| pope22 | ....xgl crashed ubuntu when i was running Feisty, is that better now? | 16:49 |
| wols | Dark: sudo ifconfig -a > ifconfig.out | 16:50 |
| alvint | ikonia: will the fiesty package work on gutsy/hardy? | 16:50 |
| profanephobia | pope22, then restart.. did you use the restricted drivers manger | 16:50 |
| rakyr | my BIOS detects my optical drive, but ubuntu doesn't | 16:50 |
| Pici | pope22: You have to use xgl with the fglrx drivers, if you used the restricted drivers manager. | 16:50 |
| wax | hi | 16:50 |
| pope22 | yes i did, i have my vidcard enabled | 16:50 |
| wols | alvint: usually it does. depends a bit if the maintainer fscked up or not :) | 16:50 |
| ikonia | alvint: Hmmm not solid no, the gcc version differences between hardy/fesity and glibc changes makes it a little flakey | 16:50 |
| wo0f | kitche: the loading screen bug | 16:50 |
| sunogbaga | !ask | wax | 16:50 |
| profanephobia | pope22, try install xgl then reboot.. it really should work | 16:50 |
| ubotu | wax: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 16:50 |
| ikonia | alvint: I have it working on hardy, but I've not finished the re-packaging hence the delay in submision, I will have it ready post hardy and hopefully submitted for inclusion in hardy+1 | 16:51 |
| wo0f | kitche, where the x server has not start yet | 16:51 |
| wo0f | kitche: you know, the loading bar bit | 16:51 |
| rakyr | my optical drive makes weird sounds, like it has a high-pitched sound when reading media, but ubuntu doesn't see the drive...do i have to manually mount the drive? it doesn't even appear as an icon! | 16:51 |
| pope22 | installing xgl now, i'll come back after the reboot ^_^ I hope it works, thnx in advance either way | 16:51 |
| profanephobia | pope22, actually you just just restart x instead of reboot ctrl+alt+backspace | 16:51 |
| wols | rakyr: you could check dmesg to see if it's recognized | 16:51 |
| rakyr | thanks | 16:51 |
| pope22 | i'll reboot, i just updated a few other things, so i need it | 16:51 |
| Dark | wols found a usb drive...one sec | 16:52 |
| wols | pope22: did you upgrade your kernel? | 16:52 |
| alvint | ikonia: thanks, that's great! will it have the smtp auth/ssl stuff? | 16:52 |
| ikonia | alvint: yes | 16:52 |
| profanephobia | pope22, i have the same card btw... its working for me in gutsy but you know how that goes :) | 16:52 |
| bells | #ubuntu-gr | 16:52 |
| ikonia | alvint: I've also done vpopmail, vqadmin and qmailadmin | 16:52 |
| pope22 | o.k. i'll be back | 16:52 |
| alvint | can I get the fiesty package from somewhere? | 16:52 |
| ikonia | alvint: I can put my fesity repo back online tonight if you want | 16:53 |
| rakyr | i have my optical drive on the same ide cable as the hdd...is that gonna cause a problem? | 16:53 |
| wols | alvint: yes, from feisty :P | 16:53 |
| wols | rakyr: not a problem but bad | 16:53 |
| rakyr | wols: i don't have any other choice, i have a cheap motherboard | 16:54 |
| wols | rakyr: every mobo has at least 2 IDE channels I though? | 16:54 |
| wols | *thought | 16:54 |
| rakyr | mine only had fdd and hdd :( should i make the optical drive a master to have dual master hdd and optical drives? | 16:55 |
| wols | no. one must be master, other slave | 16:55 |
| alvint | ikonia: cool. is there a URL I need? | 16:55 |
| wols | dmesg | grep hdb | 16:55 |
| ReVo-Eirik | Hi | 16:55 |

| wols | rakyr: curious, what mobo model,brand isthis? | 16:55 |
| ikonia | alvint: it's disalbed at this exact moment | 16:55 |
| wols | jeffMASTERflex: they aren't cheap tho. intel demans pretty penny for mobos :P | 16:55 |
| david__ | hi any one in room | 16:56 |
| starlight__ | where I earn to get canonpro9000 printer driver for ubuntu? | 16:56 |
| linux4me | wols - how do i change the mount point for that partition? | 16:56 |
| alvint | that's fine; I'll check it later. thanks! | 16:56 |
| wols | or rather for chipsets | 16:56 |
| ljcasey | !ask david__ | 16:56 |

| Dark | wols well crap...for some reason this box won't recgonize my usb drive...i am having all kinds of issues today | 16:57 |
| wols | ReVo-Eirik: you can't. you simply install another OS on the ubuntu partition overwriting ubuntu. you also use fixmbr to get your original windows bootsectors back | 16:58 |
| jeffMASTERflex | wols: i work in retail for computer parts. new oem boards are usually set up this way and most new retail boards are set up that way | 16:58 |
| syc0 | Roger. | 16:58 |
| pike_ | Dark: dmesg | tail doesnt show a sd? device? | 16:58 |
| neverblue | ReVo-Eirik, do you just have one OS on your system ? | 16:58 |
| Dark | no | 16:58 |
| wols | jeffMASTERflex: that might be (it is so since ICH8 since that one doesn't have any IDE ports anymore) but intel bases mobos are never cheap | 16:59 |
| kkuhl | !flash | 16:59 |

| wols | jose: what chip/driver? | 17:03 |
| jose | rtl 8092 AS | 17:03 |
| neverblue | jose do you see it listed under 'lspci' (a command), and do you have more than one ? | 17:04 |
| linux4me | wols - i'm beginning to despise the gui. i mostly run ubuntu server, command line only. I am now only farting around with ubuntu desktop! | 17:04 |
| Dr_willis | Enableing Multi Monuitor support with nvidia cards - is rather easy. :) | 17:04 |
| jose | i see in the botton | 17:04 |
| pastor | Ali_ix, it does correct me... what does that mean? | 17:04 |
| wols | Dark: there surely is another network chip on that board too. cause that marvell one seems to often have problems without an available driver... while nvidia or via chips are quite well supported | 17:04 |
| jose | of the list | 17:04 |
| sholden | so... I've got a video playing, and it's raping XGL. Am I doing something wrong or is this to always be expected? both of my processor cores are like 100% | 17:04 |
| wols | linux4me: good. guis generally suck, even if they make it easier for new people | 17:04 |

| boobsbr | howdy, is there a way to create a shell script to create massive number of telnet sessions to connect to a single server and keep sending messages to it to test stability? | 17:05 |

I mean in windows, it is a breeze to install a new partition and use it. it is easy to do via the command line too but I just wanted to see how far ubuntu desktop gui have come along. i see they have a ways to go yet! ;( | 17:06 |

| Dr_willis | Stars, good luck with MS office... | 17:07 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: check in terminal to see if you have resolv.conf file ith correct data, it is in /etc/resolv.conf | 17:07 |
| boobsbr | well, i coded a small java.nio server with nonblocking sockets and worker threads, now i need to know how well will it respond to a lot of connections sending data to it | 17:07 |

| Ali_ix | pastor: then follow the guide | 17:09 |
| stefkoo | how i can set a bad words in there a ? | 17:09 |
| ronnie | eton: | 17:09 |
| wols | goldphish: there is no such way. the "ubuntu way" would be to make a new kernel | 17:09 |
| Dark | wols just ran that, and yes..the other one is nVidia chipset....i just did a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:09 |
| Dark | wols and no luck | 17:09 |
| sholden | i'm trying to watch a video on a relatively fast machine, but npviewer.bin and XGL seem to be owning my processor. Any ideas? | 17:09 |
| wols | Dark: which one is the nvidia one and chich one the marvell one? is forcedeth loaded? | 17:09 |
| splatt | hola | 17:09 |
| stefkoo | !bitchx stefkoo | 17:09 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bitchx stefkoo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:09 |
| sholden | Is this to be expected, or am i doing something crazy? | 17:10 |
| Pici | stefkoo: I know what BitchX is. I was referring to the other word you used. #bitchx will probably give you more help, most users here use irssi as their cli irc client of choice. | 17:10 |
| wols | !irssi | stefkoo | 17:10 |
| ubotu | stefkoo: Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. | 17:10 |
| goldphish | wols: hmm, I've looked at the guides for building acustom kernel and they all say it's unnecessary for building just one module. Yet none of them say how to build just one module. | 17:10 |
| Dark | wols parden my noobness...but what is forcedeth? | 17:10 |
| wols | goldphish: kernel-package has help on how to just build a module package | 17:10 |
| stefkoo | Pici: BX | 17:10 |
| Dark | the nvidia one is eth1, and the marvel on is eth0 | 17:10 |
| Dr_willis | The BitchX irc client - has dozens of web sites/guides/docs - i reccomend irssi over bitchx however. But use what you want. :) | 17:10 |
| === sorrydaijin is now known as sorryd | ||
| wols | Dark: the driver for the nvidia NIC | 17:10 |
| Dr_willis | I found the irssi docs a little better done. | 17:10 |
| goldphish | wols: cool, thanks | 17:11 |
| wols | Dr_willis: who cares? the irc client is better done :P | 17:11 |
| psyk0z | hii | 17:11 |
| Stars | wine less good to run windows application in ubuntu, there any other application? | 17:11 |
| Dr_willis | wols, Which one.. :) Ive been testing out chatzilla lately Heh.. | 17:11 |
| wols | goldphish: make-kpkg --target | 17:11 |
| Dr_willis | Stars, unless you want to emulate a whole machine.. wine or its variants is how its done. | 17:11 |
| Dark | wols oops..sorry...both of them seem to be from Marvell...i was looking at the wrong section of the output | 17:11 |
| wols | Dr_willis: irssi. there is no other irc client | 17:11 |
| === sorryd is now known as wasurembo | ||
| wols | Dr_willis: pastebin your lspci then | 17:12 |
| Dr_willis | wols, heh - i was using some Perl based irc client for ages. | 17:12 |
| wols | Dark: ^^ | 17:12 |
| Dark | wols the weird thing is...internet works just fine with the live cd..but not when it is installed | 17:12 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 17:12 |
| wols | while asus does a lot of stupid things I can't believe they are THAT stupid | 17:12 |
| Dark | wols i don't understand that | 17:12 |
| jones | is there a channel for open office issues? | 17:12 |
| jose | wols sorry, i sent you throw a private chat the out from the ifconfig | 17:12 |
| wols | Dark: then check what the livecd does differently. either give us the info we need ro you can help yourself | 17:12 |
| splatt | how i can kill the Xs ? | 17:13 |
| wols | jose: a) you did not b) do never PM me unasked if you want answers c) use a pastebin | 17:13 |
| Pici | jones: #openoffice.org-users I believe. | 17:13 |
| hiddenghost | hi, any one know about blender in here? | 17:13 |
| Dr_willis | Dark, you may want to check the 'lsmod' output of th elive cd. and the real install. (save both to a file) and see if any modules are getting loaded differently | 17:13 |
| jones | i apologize not open office but evolution. | 17:13 |
| pastor | Al_ix, ok, I have opened /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and changed the prepend domain-name-servers to 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220; but I still get rubbish when I try and access it on the net. Thoughts? | 17:13 |
| Dark | wols thanks for trying to help...i am trying to get the info to you..i have it on a usb drive now, but this box doesnt want to see it | 17:13 |
| Pici | hiddenghost: Try #blender | 17:13 |
| wols | Dark: you said you have a livccd working. use that | 17:13 |
| hiddenghost | or zbuffer problems | 17:13 |
| Mersmireille | Dark: what network card? | 17:13 |
| pastor | Ali_ix, ok, I have opened /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and changed the prepend domain-name-servers to 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220; but I still get rubbish when I try and access it on the net. Thoughts? | 17:14 |
| Dark | Dr_willis where is the lsmod located | 17:14 |
| Pici | hiddenghost: Unless its an issue about installing the Ubuntu package. | 17:14 |
| Dr_willis | Dark, its a command you type :) | 17:14 |
| Mersmireille | dark: just type lsmod in a terminal | 17:14 |
| Dark | ok thanks | 17:14 |
| Dr_willis | if the live cd is loading a module that the other is not.. try manually loading it on the installed system | 17:14 |
| hiddenghost | Pici: I am having trouble with my zbuffer. | 17:15 |
| Dark | Mersmireille its the nic off of my mobo..asus a8n | 17:15 |
| wols | Mersmireille: do you think he knows which of the 2 dozen modules there is his NIC module? | 17:15 |
| pastor | Alix_ix, I then get this "ifdown: interface eth0 not configured | 17:15 |
| pastor | Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0." Thoughts? | 17:15 |
| jose | wols thats why i said sorry. but i didn't wanted to fill the chat with my out of the ifconfig, How i sent to you | 17:15 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: how do you access to internet? direc? behind firewaal/nat? try to remove your old/ISP dns servers and keep just opendns ones. if you are connected via a ppp like (dialpu eg) connection, try to reconnect. | 17:15 |

| JGJones | Greetings all | 17:18 |
| hiddenghost | Pici: I missed you saying try #blender, I will see about that. | 17:18 |
| JGJones | I have an issue with my Gutsy - the recent kernel headers update have basically caused my grub to be fubar'ed. | 17:18 |
| neverblue | jose so that would be anything anyone else asked you to post as well as your 'lspci' and 'lsmod' | 17:18 |
| wols | JGJones: nonsense | 17:18 |
| pastor | Alix_ix, When I restart the router, my DNS defaults back to my ISP's DNS. Thoughts? | 17:19 |
| jones | anyone know if there is a way to use Evolution to access a exchange webaccess account? | 17:19 |
| JGJones | wols: no - I'm not the only one, there is a thread about it on ubuntu forums. | 17:19 |
| JGJones | Fetching URL | 17:19 |
| hiddenghost | How can one adjust the 3d options for ubuntu? | 17:19 |
| wols | JGJones: kernel headers alone cannot do _anything_ with your grub config. end of story | 17:19 |
| jose | wols here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49042/ | 17:19 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: ok! if you have any access to router CP you can define dns there | 17:19 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: are you using dhcp to get IP from router? | 17:20 |
| JGJones | OK. It boots ok. Never changed. No software/or anything else installed/removed. Get security updates, some of which are kernel headers updates. | 17:20 |
| JGJones | Ask to reboot. | 17:20 |
| JGJones | It now gives a "partition not found" error. | 17:20 |
| wols | jose: you already have 2 interfaces both seemingly working fine. what is the output of "ping google.com" ther? | 17:21 |
| komputes | does anyone know how to find out the version of a process/command? | 17:21 |
| pastor | Ali_ix, I think it is a static IP, not dhcp. Is there a difference? | 17:21 |
| wols | JGJones: the grub bootmenu shows? | 17:21 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: yes. if it is static ip, the dns settings shouldnt change! | 17:21 |
| wols | pastor: yes | 17:21 |
| JGJones | The same as before. | 17:21 |
| pidix | when i use usernodes and cck drupal dont create usernode for new users | 17:21 |
| pidix | why? | 17:21 |
| wols | JGJones: pastebin your menu.lst and your sudo fdisk -l output | 17:21 |
| crush_groove | hy would I be using a gig of memory when Im not running anything more intensiver than xchat ? is there a way to refresh it or clear it .. is doing either of those even necessary? | 17:22 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: paste the output into pastebin: 'ifconfig -a', 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' | 17:22 |
| Ali_ix | !paste | pastor | 17:22 |
| ubotu | pastor: 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) | 17:22 |
| jdecoste | hi | 17:22 |
| wols | crush_groove: not necessary. you do not use 1GB. most of the RAM is used as diskcache automatically. there never is free memory since it would be wasted memory | 17:22 |
| jose | wols give me troubles sometimes i used yesterday and worked for like 20 seconds, and later doesn't work, then later i connect other network the one that im using now | 17:22 |
| wols | !doesn't work | 17:22 |
| jdecoste | anyone here played around with xephyr ? | 17:22 |
| ubotu | 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. | 17:22 |
| crush_groove | wols .. this is a *nix thing ? | 17:23 |
| wols | crush_groove: no it's a modern OS design thing. ALL OSes work this way | 17:23 |
| neverblue | jose, so you have 2 devices? | 17:23 |
| neverblue | u didnt mention that before :) | 17:23 |

| wols | jose: the fact that the 8029 NIC got an IP is proof that it can connect to the router | 17:28 |
| neverblue | jose, waiting on your pastebin from you ping command.... | 17:28 |
| wols | jose: unless you should us a paste when something actually failing, no one will be able to help you | 17:28 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: it might have a web-based control panel, just try the ipaddress in addressbar of browser | 17:28 |
| neverblue | wols keep positive ;) | 17:28 |
| kazol | Ali_ix: What about metacity? | 17:28 |
| wols | neverblue: it will simply use the other NIC now that he uses now to connect to freenode | 17:28 |
| wols | neverblue: which means it won't prove anything | 17:29 |
| pastor | Ali_ix, it says, "Unable to Connect." | 17:29 |
| neverblue | wols, he is connecting here on that same box, I didnt get that far into the convo.... | 17:29 |
| wols | pastor: what is your local IP? | 17:29 |
| Dark | wols well, i did a diff on the ouput of the installed lsmod vs the live cd, and there is no difference | 17:29 |
| wols | neverblue: but you saw he has two nics with IPs assigned. so a ping would be futile | 17:30 |
| pastor | wols, (http://192.168.0.1) | 17:30 |
| wols | pastor: that is NOT your local IP | 17:30 |
| jose | wols yesterday i connected to internet for like 10 seconds 2 times, and then never more | 17:30 |
| jose | it started with collisions | 17:30 |
| wols | jose: either show me he pastbin of the error or don't talk to me again please | 17:30 |

| neverblue | jose, your online right now, and not using that card ? | 17:35 |
| JGJones | wols: did that (in grub, pressed e to edit and changed it to (hd0,5) - doesn't work either. | 17:35 |
| pastor | Ali_ix, pastor@pastor-laptop:~$ !paste | pastor bash: !paste: event not found | 17:35 |
| JGJones | Disk don't exist. | 17:35 |
| jose | neverblue i have two cards on the computer, one works fine the other doesnt | 17:35 |
| krolow | i install kde4 but this corrumped my apt http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49045/ | 17:35 |

| wols | JGJones: what doesn't exist? | 17:36 |
| r4wMUnt34q | Greetings everyone. I resized my partitions and the ext3 partition doesnt have that much free space as it should, I used GParted | 17:36 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: :} just copy the output of ifconfig command and go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and paste into text box there :) | 17:36 |
| neverblue | jose, test one individually, then the other, to confirm they each work | 17:36 |

| jose | neverblue the rtl 8029 AS works fine in windows and in the 64 bits kernel | 17:36 |
| neverblue | jose so its a driver issue | 17:37 |
| soroush | wols, i could install my audio on generic kernell | 17:37 |
| soroush | *kernel | 17:37 |
| JGJones | wols: when I changed the line in grub from root=(hd0,2) to root(hd0,5) and then boot it'll just tell me the disk doesn't exist (or parition not found) - error 15 if I remember correctly. | 17:37 |

| jose | Ali_ix how i do that? | 17:38 |
| wols | JGJones: starting windows does work I presume? | 17:38 |
| soroush | what can the problem be? | 17:38 |
| JGJones | wols: yes it does. | 17:38 |
| Ali_ix | jose: i have downloaded kernel source and compiled it manually | 17:38 |
| Ali_ix | jose: i think the driver didnt include in default ubuntu kernel | 17:38 |
| neverblue | jose I can no longer assist u, good luck | 17:38 |
| wols | JGJones: try (hd0,1) onwards then :) | 17:38 |

| wols | ADemiG0D: this channel does not endorse cracking | 17:39 |
| JGJones | wols: did it for hd0,1 to hd0,10 - no joy with any. | 17:39 |
| pastor | Ali_ix, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49046/ | 17:39 |
| ADemiG0D | is there one that does? I've seen programs that do it in the repositories | 17:39 |

| Ali_ix | jose: check howtoforge for ubuntu/debian specific guide | 17:39 |
| soroush | great | 17:39 |
| soroush | thanks alot | 17:39 |

| luke-jr | How can I get madwifi on 7.10? | 17:39 |
| ADemiG0D | the default repositories too | 17:39 |

| wols | !madwifi | luke-jr | 17:40 |

| ubotu | luke-jr: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 17:40 |
| jose | ok i will | 17:40 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: please paste these too: 'sudo route -n' and 'sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf' | 17:40 |
| JGJones | wols: This all started ever since I installed those kernel security updates - hence why I suggested that had fubar'ed my grub (if you read that forum thread, one reverted to previous kernel for it to work, sadly I don't have that) | 17:41 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: your local ip is: 192.168.74.254 | 17:41 |
| r4wMUnt34q | Greetings everyone. I resized my partitions and the ext3 partition doesnt have that much free space as it should, I think. I used GParted... And the processor is in 100% use all the tme now :( | 17:41 |
| wols | JGJones: change groot=(hd0,2) to hd0,5 | 17:41 |
| wols | then run sudo update-grub | 17:41 |
| Ali_ix | !repeat | r4wMUnt34q | 17:41 |

| luke-jr | wols: too bad it's not listed | 17:41 |
| wols | JGJones: kernel headers as you said are NOT kernels. big difference there | 17:41 |
| JGJones | wols - will do, to double-check - should I chroot into the disk before doing update-grub? | 17:42 |
| wols | luke-jr: apt-cache search madwifi | 17:42 |
| pastor | Ali_ix, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49048/ | 17:42 |

| Cygnet | hey guys, last night I tried to install a new nvidia video card (replacing intel integrated graphics) but with the new card installed, Linux won't boot | 17:43 |
| IdanMA | I'm reinstalling Ubuntu (7.10) on my laptop - Pentium 3 600MHz / 256MB Ram (100Mhz sdram) and I wonder what will be the best FS for a laptop. | 17:43 |
| wols | it does boot. just that X won't start. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. choose vesa | 17:43 |
| luke-jr | wols: only see userspace tools on packages.ubuntu.com | 17:43 |
| Cygnet | no, it doesn't finish booting | 17:43 |
| wols | Cygnet: then install the nvidia drivers from restricted | 17:43 |
| luke-jr | apt-cache of course requires internet to already be working | 17:43 |
| nemofish | i'm trying to install ubuntu onto the free space i had, and i did the partitions just as i liked, however when i clicked install, it seemed my cd drive just stopped working or powered off so the install doesn't complete. anyhelp? (using the live cd) | 17:44 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: retry it: sudo route -n | 17:44 |
| IdanMA | Anyone has a tip on my Q ? | 17:44 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: i need also: sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf | 17:44 |
| Cygnet | it doesn't dump me to a prompt, I know I need to install drivers, but it gets stuck while trying to boot and I can't do anything | 17:44 |
| wols | Cygnet: failsafe boot? | 17:45 |
| pastor | Ali_ix, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49049/ | 17:45 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: ok, your router ip is: 192.168.74.1 | 17:45 |
| wols | IdanMA: ext3 | 17:45 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: type it ina browser | 17:45 |

| Synx_sleep | Anyone get flash video/flash in general working in 7.10? | 17:46 |

| wols | *parameter | 17:46 |
| pastor | Ali_ix, it says, problem loading page. | 17:46 |

| PriceChild | Ali_ix, i aliased that to flashissues | 17:47 |
| PriceChild | !flashissue | Ali_ix Synx_sleep | 17:47 |
| ubotu | Ali_ix Synx_sleep: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. | 17:47 |
| IdanMA | wois: So I understand ReiserFS is faster for a desktop/laptop but has "stability" issues ? | 17:48 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: ok, check your router manuals, you should be able to access its web based control panel, and set the opendns servers as your main, permannt dns server in router, once you do this. there is no need to set opendns on your other local network systems | 17:48 |
| wols | IdanMA: you never will notice what is faster | 17:48 |
| inuyaga | ReiserFS is good for lots of little files. So /var ? | 17:48 |
| Ali_ix | PriceChild: thansk for info | 17:48 |
| linux4me | i'm trying to add an entry in /etc/fstab so that a new partition i created is mounted on boot. how do I determine the UUID? | 17:48 |
| wols | inuyaga: do you run a big mailserver with maildir? | 17:49 |
| IdanMA | wois; Ok, thanks. Should I turn on the "noatime" flag on fstab ? | 17:49 |
| inuyaga | cant tunefs list do the UUID | 17:49 |
| Ali_ix | linux4me: blkid command will list partions with uuids | 17:49 |
| pastor | Ali_ix, and the reason I cant's access the router DNS? Thoughts? | 17:49 |
| inuyaga | wols no I dont so I dont have Riser on my var | 17:49 |
| linux4me | Ali_ix - tks | 17:49 |
| wols | inuyaga: it's about the only scenario I can think of where reiser is truly king | 17:49 |
| inuyaga | I agree | 17:50 |
| Ali_ix | pastor: now, i have no idea why you cant access router CP, but it shouldnt be dns problem | 17:50 |
| pastor | Ali_ix, thank you for your time. | 17:50 |
| soccer_hawk10 | hey all. i've been having trouble recently with my ubuntu machine randomly freezing. any idea what could be causing it? what information do you need from me to help me? | 17:50 |
| JGJones | wols: thanks for help...this is what I have done - mounted /dev/sda6 (linux partition) to /mnt/root and then mounted /proc into there as well as binded /dev into there and have updated menu.lst and run update-grub with no errors - All correct? If so, then I'll reboot unless I hear a scream coming from your direction :) | 17:50 |
| inuyaga | Well I think its better for more transaction like file structures but then why not just use a DB | 17:50 |

If I don't it shows enabled but I can't connect to anything. | 17:51 |
| inuyaga | but ya. Anyone know how to change the selection settings in GEdit? | 17:51 |
| Alyxander | hey guys question | 17:53 |
| JGJones | wols: groot - yes I have changed that to hd0,5 - but a question...is that the grub root? If so, would it not be in the first partition? | 17:53 |
| bulmer | bmw330i-> you can attempt to create a script to perform those steps and run it whenever you wakeboot ? | 17:53 |
| W8TAH | hi folks - i need some help -- ive been fighting for about 2 hours now trying to get my laptop to use the wireless connection more or less automatically -- in my mind when there is no wired connection present, it should automagickly connect via wireless if possible - but it wont -- it takes 10 mins of messing with configs and stuff to get it to connect - -HEEEEELLLLLPPPPP | 17:53 |
| wols | JGJones: where is your /boot ? | 17:53 |
| Alyxander | how do I create a PPC or mac version of an ISO? | 17:53 |
| MilhousePunkRock | bmw330i: The network manager is far from being perfect, I suggest you just configure you network manually with the /etc/network/interfaces | 17:53 |
| JGJones | wols: sda6 ok hd0,5 it is then | 17:53 |
| Mariodd | Is there somebody that tell me why my modem syddenly drop the line after 15-20 minutes | 17:53 |
| bmw330i | hi bulmer, agreed, was hoping to not have to. I wonder it's it's wpasupplicant related. I once had it setup but then just unlocked the access point | 17:53 |
| mrdinkles | Im using 7.10-- Im attempting to rip songs off of a cd with rythmbox-- It loads the songs then closes out of rythmbox-- its not hidden anywhere..it just closes... | 17:53 |
| wols | Mariodd: check your syslog | 17:54 |
| linux4me | blkid only show me the uuid of /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5. I need the uuid for /dev/sda3 | 17:54 |
| bulmer | bmw330i-> you may have to toy with the settings in your /etc/network/interfaces file, ie remove essid and keys | 17:54 |
| thor | bmw330i I dumped wpa in favour of mac address filtering. It is much more secure and wpa gave me headaches | 17:54 |
| bmw330i | MilhousePunkRock: Ah, just edit that? Good idea. I thought the GUI did that. | 17:55 |
| Alyxander | any ideas? | 17:55 |
| MilhousePunkRock | thor: MAC adresses can easily be spoofed... | 17:55 |
| IdanMA | wois: Should I enable the "noatime" flag on fstab ? | 17:55 |
| wols | IdanMA: no | 17:55 |
| JGJones | linux4me - I usually ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid - it'll show which sda(n) it points to | 17:55 |
| thor | MilhousePunkRock but they would have to be on your network to sniff it | 17:55 |
| thor | MilhousePunkRock and without ssid broadcast...they don't even know it is there | 17:55 |
| MilhousePunkRock | bmw330i: It does, but manual is probably better... Maybe you need to stop or even uninstall network manager... Another thing you could try is wicd, wireless internet connection demon, in my taste way better than nm | 17:55 |
| bulmer | MilhousePunkRock-> and they have to spend a lot of time to recover it? | 17:55 |
| IdanMA | wois: Could you explain why ? What benefit will I gain from having it on/off ? | 17:55 |
| JGJones | ok ...now I'm off to reboot, fingers and toes crossed... | 17:56 |
| MilhousePunkRock | thor: That's what you think... Hidden SSID is useless | 17:56 |
| wols | IdanMA: I won't | 17:56 |
| bmw330i | bulmer, thank you, agreed; thor, ya, I did that, was a pain but I also agree with Milhouse....I'd like to just turn down the power on the access point low enough to keep them out by proximity | 17:57 |

| MilhousePunkRock | Alyxander: You say you want to make a PPC version out of an x86 iso? I'd say that's pretty much impossible | 17:57 |
| Alyxander | hidden ssid is just that hidden security by obscurity. Also runing without some kind of encrytion in lew of just mac addressing is not such a good I dea all one would have to is spoof a mac | 17:58 |

| wols | goldphish: but I gave you the quick+dirty way before :) | 17:59 |
| wols | goldphish: you have configured the kernel sources with make menuconfig? | 18:00 |
| infinital | okay. how would you do this milhouse, or can you point me to teh documentation? | 18:00 |
| Dr_willis | infinital, depends on the specifcs of what you are runnign, and as what user. | 18:00 |
| pike_ | infinital: scripting in linux is head and shoulders better than windows so yeah you can do whatever you want | 18:00 |
| mahrellon | chazco: But, are you using the very latest drivers from nvidia? I'm just about to upgrade by using envy but don't wanna "brick" my system. :) | 18:00 |
| MilhousePunkRock | mahrellon: There is some tweaking needed if you plan to suspend/hibernate, other than that, no problems | 18:00 |

| MilhousePunkRock | mahrellon: In that case you really should consider hibernating ;) 10 seconds to be back from a complete power off... Saves energy... | 18:01 |
| mahrellon | wols: Yeah I know that but my question wasnt about envy. It was about if it's safe to use the latest nv drivers :P | 18:01 |
| bulmer | pastor-> do you get an ip address from your router/(acting also as dhcp server) ? | 18:01 |
| MilhousePunkRock | mahrellon: nv or nvidia-glx? | 18:01 |
| IdanMA | What does the user_xattr attribute do ? I can't find any info about it except Beagle. But Beagle isn't used anymore by 7.10 (default) so should it be enabled or just turned off ? | 18:01 |
| mahrellon | MilhousePunkRock: nvidia-glx. I'm using Compiz fusion atm. | 18:02 |
| wols | mahrellon: take your deceptions elsewhere. what you get via restricted drives from ubuntu is safe. everything else we don't give a fsck about | 18:02 |
| infinital | okay. this is to be used to run in a presentation room that runs the same presentation everytime a group comes in. | 18:02 |

| wols | mahrellon: you were deceiving and you know it | 18:02 |
| pastor | bulmer, Not sure what that means. Break it down for me? | 18:02 |
| bulmer | infinital-> a kiosk like setup is perfect i believe..you can possibly even put it in a usb thumbdrive and boot off oit | 18:02 |

| MilhousePunkRock | mahrellon: I am running the latest nvidia-glx-new from the stock repo, no problems whatsoever... Well, the resolution was wrong and could not be changed at first, but manually setting an apropriate screen fixed that | 18:03 |
| wols | goldphish: m-a needs packages with the driver. source packages basically | 18:03 |
| bulmer | pastor-> please elaborate on your network layout so we dont keep guessing on what you got and what is connected to what | 18:03 |
| wols | goldphish: do a make menuconfig and only change the keyspan setting to M | 18:03 |
| mrdinkles | Im using 7.10-- Im attempting to rip songs off of a cd with rythmbox-- It loads the songs then closes out of rythmbox-- its not hidden anywhere..it just closes... | 18:03 |
| mahrellon | wols, wasn't my intention. I just wanted to know if it was safe to use the latest drivers and I didn't really think about being deceptive asking about official nv drivers. My bad and I apologize. | 18:03 |
| ip00n | please, someone. my pendrive isnt detected | 18:03 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Now that I have your attention, back to my initial question: I destroyed my sound with reverting from self-compiled alsa to Ubuntu's packages... Error message is here: http://nopaste.com/p/a7cnaFfL9 | 18:04 |
| Alyxander | mrdinkles, check your system logs and see what error your getting | 18:04 |
| mahrellon | MilhousePunkRock, thanks m8. I'll try them. | 18:04 |
| ip00n | it's ntfs, does that matter? | 18:04 |
| wols | ip00n: what does dmesg say? | 18:04 |
| ip00n | dmesg? | 18:04 |
| pike_ | ip00n: unplug/replug then type dmesg | tail do you see a sda or sdb or sdc or whatever detected? | 18:04 |
| ip00n | in terminal? | 18:04 |
| nitro4ce | hi. is there a way to make a directory behave like a http site? for example: i enter my ip adress and it opens index.html file inside that directory? | 18:04 |
| wols | ip00n: yes | 18:04 |
| ip00n | 1 sec | 18:04 |
| Alyxander | or mrdinkles run rythmbox from the terminal and see what error you get | 18:04 |
| MilhousePunkRock | ip00n: Probably... Could be that you dont have ntfs support | 18:04 |
| wols | nitro4ce: run a webserver with that document root | 18:04 |
| ip00n | wow, dmseg procudec pages of text.. | 18:05 |
| pastor | bulmer, ok, I have a wireless satellite connection that runs into my D-Link connecting my router to my laptop. 604+. | 18:05 |
| ip00n | what do i look for? | 18:05 |
| pike_ | ip00n: very bottom | 18:05 |
| bulmer | nitro4ce-> look into using netcat, neat tool, can do/create a webserver without writing one | 18:05 |
| mrdinkles | Alyxander: which log should i look at? | 18:05 |

| MilhousePunkRock | !package audacity | cherva | 18:06 |
| Alyxander | MilhousePunkRock, what a good application to add music to your mp4? | 18:06 |

| MilhousePunkRock | Alyxander: I know nothing about MP4 ;) | 18:07 |
| George | how can I get my /usr/local/lib/ to be linked to any program I use, for example if I run an ogre3d app it tells me it needs ogreMain which is in /usr/local/lib, is there a way to make it "public" to all the programs/ | 18:07 |
| Alyxander | MilhousePunkRock, mpeg 4 video files | 18:07 |
| pike_ | ip00n: not very very bottom but like do dmesg | tail -n 30 to just get last 30 lines | 18:07 |
| bulmer | pastor-> anyhows, D-link is your router and it has a connectivity to the other end (via satellite) ? | 18:07 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Alyxander: I know that, but I have never edited any and don't plan on doing that | 18:07 |
| pastor | bulmer, lol, ok. I live in the country. | 18:07 |
| Alyxander | ok | 18:07 |
| mrdinkles | Alyxander: the rythmbox opens for example-- I clicked on the top to move the screen around when i started to move it, it closed-- Could this be because i have compiz fusion or maybe a change with that? | 18:07 |
| pike_ | ip00n: is this a windows formated pendrive? what i mean is most are fat32 but it may be ntfs | 18:08 |
| pastor | bulmer, the dish is on top of my roof, and recieves its connection via sattalite. From there a wire runs down the house into my study. | 18:08 |
| goldphish | wols: hmm now it's comlaining 'error: curses.h: No such file or directory'. I have ncurses installed. Which package provides curses.h? | 18:08 |
| Alyxander | well if you suspect it to be compiz turn compiz off then try it but are your running it from the terminal so you can see the crash error? mrdinkles | 18:08 |
| ip00n | i remember formatting my pendrive to ntfs | 18:08 |
| wols | goldphish: the ncurses dev package | 18:09 |
| bulmer | pastor-> again, D-link is your router ? it has a connectivity to the other end (via satellite) which you already verified right?? | 18:09 |
| pastor | yes, D-Link is my router. | 18:09 |
| pastor | bulmer, D-link is my router | 18:09 |
| bulmer | pastor-> you have verified it has a connectivity to the other end yes? how did you verify this? | 18:10 |
| JGJones | wols: thanks for help - all fixed now. No idea how the grub changed itself to hd0,2 in the first place though. | 18:10 |
| pastor | bulmer, Well I'm on line. Does that count? | 18:10 |
| mrdinkles | Alyxander: whats the command to run any program like this through terminal? | 18:10 |
| wols | JGJones: me neither | 18:11 |
| bulmer | pastor-> well thats why I asked earlier to elaborate so we will understand your connectivity, you didnt mention you are already sharing same router connectivity | 18:11 |
| Alyxander | mrdinkles, rythmbox, if im miss spelling the name im sorry | 18:11 |
| wols | mrdinkles: open an xterm, start program, see output of program | 18:11 |
| bulmer | pastor-> hard to guess ones setup lest they elaborate an explanation | 18:11 |
| il-luzhin | hey folks | 18:11 |

| bulmer | pastor-> since you are connected now, i assume using microsoft and not linux? | 18:12 |
| MilhousePunkRock | What's wrong with the bot? | 18:12 |
| il-luzhin | thnx | 18:12 |
| ip00n | pike_: i dont see sda or sdb or sdc... | 18:12 |
| pastor | bulmer, my laptop and one other Ununtu computer share this router (D-Link). | 18:12 |
| wols | mrdinkles: generic term for "X terminal" | 18:12 |

| mrdinkles | wols: nothing shows when i open terminal, then open rythmbox | 18:13 |
| pastor | bulmer, both are Ubuntu. | 18:13 |
| mrdinkles | wols: nothing in the terminal shows | 18:13 |
| wols | mrdinkles: since you didn't start it, duh! | 18:13 |
| bulmer | pastor-> of the 3 sharing the D-Link, how many are not working or rather dont have the internet access? | 18:13 |

| cliebow | test | 18:14 |
| pastor | bulmer, both computers share the internet, and are online right now. Both using Ubuntu, and FireFox. | 18:14 |
| pike_ | ip00n: try lsusb do you see it there? | 18:14 |
| wols | cliebow: test failed | 18:14 |
| Alyxander | if it says not found it should tell you its not installed | 18:14 |
| wols | Alyxander: huh? | 18:14 |
| bulmer | pastor-> so which pc and os is not connected then? | 18:15 |
| pike_ | ip00n: this normally works without any effort on your part not sure what the prob is | 18:15 |
| wols | Alyxander: it would help if you'd spelled it right | 18:15 |

| pastor | bulmer, both are connected. The one I am on now is the one I'm trying to access the router IP through to no avail. | 18:15 |
| MilhousePunkRock | soccer_hawk10: Did you do a memtest? | 18:15 |
| soccer_hawk10 | MilhousePunkRock: yes, it was fine | 18:16 |
| wols | ip00n: no. it'd be recognized regardless by the kernel | 18:16 |

| ReVo-Eirik | Hi, could someone help me?= | 18:17 |
| Alyxander | wols, yeah i know i dont use it so i already apologized for the miss spelling mrdinkles google the error msg | 18:17 |
| wols | soccer_hawk10:please answer my question. "how long" reuqires a time as an answer | 18:17 |
| pike_ | Spiro: if you dont care about 64 bit go with i386 you wont see a big improvement in 64 anyway in general desktop stuff though there is some | 18:17 |
| mrdinkles | alyxander: lol, not sure how i messed it up either lol | 18:17 |
| MilhousePunkRock | soccer_hawk10: Dust in the case maybe, therefore thermal problems? All cards properly seated? | 18:17 |
| Ayabara | hey. after a kernel upgrade yesterday, the sound on my ubuntu no longer works. when I run alsamixer in terminal, it says: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device | 18:17 |
| soccer_hawk10 | wols: sorry, i just don't know what that means... i believe it ran for about fourty minutes | 18:18 |
| pike_ | Spiro: i have sempron 64 and have never bothered installing 64bit distro on it | 18:18 |
| wols | !sound | 18:18 |
| 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 | 18:18 |

| Elive_user42 | ubuntu won't boot. it crashes at the NetWork manager | 18:18 |
| pastor | I think so bulmer. | 18:18 |
| wols | soccer_hawk10: come back when you ran it at least 4 hours or better overnight. 40 minutes is not enough for testing memory | 18:18 |
| Elive_user42 | full error message at this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3979769#post3979769 | 18:18 |
| soccer_hawk10 | wols: it's not the memory. XP runs several days on end with no problem, ubuntu doesn't | 18:19 |
| Spiro | good, now, what is i386 for and i686 for? Isn't it better to choose i686? Anyone can explain? | 18:19 |
| bulmer | pastor-> so which one are you attempting to get to ? ip address wise..the wan side or the webserver based config of D-Link? | 18:19 |
| wols | soccer_hawk10: that is not conclusive either, sorry | 18:19 |
| wols | soccer_hawk10: disable acpi | 18:19 |
| soccer_hawk10 | wols: your only suggestion is memory? | 18:19 |
| Alyxander | soccer_hawk10, sorry to have you reexplain your problem, but whats happening? | 18:19 |
| ngirard | Hi all, I need to print a number of booklets using my deskjet printer, but the prints get shifted. Do you know about a tool to help me get perfectly aligned prints ? | 18:19 |

| soccer_hawk10 | wols: one that i don't need... thanks, i'll keep it in mind | 18:20 |
| Elive_user42 | anybody? | 18:20 |
| wols | soccer_hawk10: nvidia drivers? or fglrx? | 18:20 |
| soccer_hawk10 | Alyxander: intel | 18:20 |
| soccer_hawk10 | oops | 18:20 |
| Spiro | pike_, good, now, what is i386 for and i686 for? Isn't it better to choose i686? Anyone can explain? | 18:20 |
| bulmer | pastor-> am guessing you're attempting to reach the config webserver...try 192.68.1.254 or 192.168.1.252 or 192.168.1.1 instead | 18:20 |
| soccer_hawk10 | wols: intel | 18:20 |
| soccer_hawk10 | Alyxander: ubuntu machine randomly freezes. seems to happen most, but not exclusively, when streaming audio or video | 18:21 |
| boris | can i somehow reconfigure everything graphics related ? | 18:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ikonia: Are you around | 18:21 |
| ljcasey | boris, elaborate. | 18:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | boris: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 18:21 |
| soccer_hawk10 | wols: how do i disable ACPI | 18:21 |
| ifireball | soccer_hawk10: sound like a hardware/heating problem, try checking the gfx card's fans | 18:22 |
| pike_ | Spiro: there isnt a huge deal with that technically in theory you may see improvement with 686 compiled but.. if you are using a generic kernel not one you compiled the advantages are not really there see this | 18:22 |
| MilhousePunkRock | soccer_hawk10: boot with "acpi=off" | 18:22 |
| pike_ | !generic | Spiro | 18:22 |
| ubotu | Spiro: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) | 18:22 |
| boris | Jack_Sparrow: COMPLETELY reconfigure graphics, remove all the drivers (fglrx, leftovers of radeon),... ? | 18:22 |
| soccer_hawk10 | ifireball: that's kinda my instinct but i'm not sure... XP is fine, and i have an integrated intel graphics card | 18:22 |
| soccer_hawk10 | MilhousePunkRock: would i edit that under grub? | 18:22 |
| MilhousePunkRock | soccer_hawk10: Well, you can edit it one time on the grub menu to try if that helps at all | 18:23 |
| Tomterer | I have a USB hdd. whenever I plug it in, I want it to automatically mount to a particular directory. where do I look for that kind of settings? | 18:23 |

| wols | asowith a boot parameter | 18:24 |
| soccer_hawk10 | i just don't know how to boot with acpi=off. i.e. where do i put that argument. what config file | 18:24 |
| wols | soccer_hawk10: either edit in menu.lst or press e on the boot menu | 18:24 |
| Spiro | Lastly, I have been using kubuntu for a year now. Even before choosing kubuntu I have always had problems when upgrading kde, mostly related to my profile where I had to create a mew account and reverse all my data over to the new account. What about ubuntu (with gnome)? | 18:24 |
| soccer_hawk10 | thanks wols | 18:24 |
| ifireball | soccer_hawk10: try configuring Xorg to use generic VESA drivers rather then the specialised intel ones, see what happens | 18:24 |
| wols | soccer_hawk10: and as others suggested checking the temp of videocard and CPU would be a good thing to do too | 18:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | boris: Since I dont know what all you installed and where it came from .. no I dont have a quick answer | 18:24 |

| Ali_ix | lonejack: you can try: sudo nautilus in gnome | 18:29 |
| Phusion | lonejack: root protected files are protected for a reason, so be careful | 18:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lonejack: gksudo nautlius | 18:30 |
| Ali_ix | lonejack: is is not recommended to use it regurally | 18:30 |
| Tomterer | Please guys... I have a USB hdd. whenever I plug it in, I want it to mount to a particular directory. how to? | 18:30 |
| nickrud | lonejack, if you run nautilus, as root, see Jack_Sparrow | 18:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ali_ix: bad idea to sudo a gui | 18:30 |
| hiddenghost | Phusion: do you mean what graphics card? | 18:30 |
| Phusion | hiddenghost: thats right | 18:30 |
| lonejack | nickrud, thank you | 18:30 |
| Ali_ix | Jack_Sparrow: just a quick and dirty answer, alt f2 + gksudo whould be nice | 18:30 |
| bundagan | note to maintainers, wings3d is still broken, been broken since feisty | 18:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lonejack: If you want to spend much time as root in a file manager.. look into thunar or somethine lighter than nautilus | 18:30 |
| ip00n | ok, i managed to open my pendrive now, but im unable to write to it. any help? its ntfs | 18:31 |
| nickrud | lonejack, I came in last :) | 18:31 |
| pteague_work | what exactly does beagled do & why is it eating up 91% cpu? | 18:31 |
| Ali_ix | pteague_work: it is a desktop search app, indexes your files | 18:31 |
| Dr_willis | it indexes every so often | 18:31 |
| Ali_ix | pteague_work: you can try tracker instead, it is more resource friendly | 18:32 |
| nickrud | lonejack, but it would be worth your while to learn the terminal commands for working on system files, it's good to keep them conceptually separate from your personal stuff. Safer | 18:32 |
| The_Doctor2 | hi | 18:32 |
| nixi | hi, i've trouble with grub.. first i installed ubuntu on my laptop and after a few weeks i installed XP. Now my MBR is overwritten and i want to change it back that i can boot both.. | 18:32 |
| The_Doctor2 | is there an equivelant to Launchy for Ubuntu? | 18:32 |
| hiddenghost | Phusion: I think it's intel | 18:32 |
| pteague_work | for some reason i have both trackerd & beagled running at the same time | 18:32 |
| The_Doctor2 | nixi: Grub Floppy | 18:32 |
| Phusion | hiddenghost: well, thats a very poor 3d accelerator | 18:32 |
| mrdinkles | Stack smashing error-- Core dumped using Rhythmbox-- Anyone experienced this before?-- Google said it was a security issue and i should dl some stuff... any ideas? | 18:33 |
| nickrud | lol, pteague_work that's redundant. unless you have your drives mounted with the user_xattr option, stick with tracker | 18:33 |

| tacone | OldSpice: when you type password char don't show up | 18:57 |
| aggelos | komputes you must have smbmount and then you run the command smbmount //network/folder /local/folder and done | 18:57 |
| nickrud | RoDoX, .1 versions software, not suprised it has issues. I moved the libpurple stuff into the prpl dir (where the loader expected them to be) but there appears to be problems still. You should try asking more on the mozilla forums | 18:57 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: thats a security measure | 18:57 |

| Jack_Sparrow | boris: dont mess with the sources and you should be fine | 18:57 |
| nickrud | boris, apt-get update should authenticate the packages, unless you have some third party repos | 18:57 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: want to play with some uber cool network tools? | 18:58 |
| hiddenghost | Phusion: I turned off my computer to look at my chips and then realized I can just view through the system monitor what my chips are. | 18:58 |
| genii | boris: It already does that by default | 18:58 |
| _Casey_ | i just did some update and restarted and now alsa and stuff is saying i dont have a sound device | 18:58 |

| Phusion | :) | 18:58 |
| nickrud | RoDoX, many people use pidgin, I don't im so I'm just a parrot here | 18:58 |
| _Casey_ | pidgin FTW | 18:58 |
| nickrud | RoDoX, pidgin is installed by default, by the way | 18:58 |
| YeTr2 | RoDoX: pidgin, kopete | 18:58 |
| _Casey_ | commonly known as gaim | 18:58 |
| Phusion | pidgin is decent | 18:58 |
| soccer_hawk10 | pidgin is good, except i wish it were more themeable | 18:59 |
| Phusion | but AOL made them change their name | 18:59 |
| hiddenghost | Phusion: now that I am back wols is mia. They or you were asking what my chipset was. | 18:59 |

| RoDoX | nickrud: anyway, thank you | 18:59 |
| YeTr2 | soccer_hawk10: you can customize pidgin via gtk | 18:59 |
| Phusion | hiddenghost: I was asking what video card | 18:59 |
| ip00n | ? | 18:59 |
| OldSpice | phusion: okay, i saw a bunch of actions processing, did it install it onto my computer? | 18:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ip00n: Persistent wont work on that ver either.. | 18:59 |
| soccer_hawk10 | YeTr2: you have a tutorial handy? | 18:59 |
| _Casey_ | why is ubuntu saying i have no device for sound | 18:59 |
| nickrud | RoDoX, np, I'm usually interested in what the mozilla foundation is doing, thanks for letting me know about this one | 18:59 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: yeah it should of, try this: sudo nmap -sV -vv -P0 127.0.0.1 | 19:00 |

| ip00n3 | screw the pendrive... ill just transfer my files over irc | 19:02 |
| wols | hiddenghost: cpu is no chipset | 19:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OldSpice: I would politely suggest a full (and easy to do) backup at this point | 19:02 |
| Qhestion | will i be able to upgrade from 7.10 (gibbon) to 8.04 (heron) when it comes out? | 19:02 |
| Phusion | wols: the Intel 845 is a gfx chipset | 19:02 |
| nickrud | Qhestion, yes | 19:02 |
| wols | Qhestion: yes | 19:02 |
| OldSpice | well, this isn't really a big problem, but is there a way to copy+paste commands onto the terminal? typing long ones character by character is intesse | 19:02 |
| hiddenghost | wols: yes, I now realize my confusion. | 19:02 |
| Qhestion | nice :) | 19:02 |
| wols | Phusion: an intel celeron is not | 19:02 |
| OldSpice | jack_sparrow: you mean backing up my windows portion along with my document? or only ubuntu? | 19:03 |
| Phusion | yeah I know, he said 845 | 19:03 |
| YeTr2 | 845 isn't that bad if you have enough power behind it. | 19:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | OldSpice: I dont care about windows... :) but at least your ubuntu | 19:03 |
| Slart | OldSpice: copy = ctrl+alt+c, paste ctrl+alt+v | 19:03 |
| wols | Phusion: intel 845 is no graphics chipset but a P4 chipset. there might be a 845G but there are versions without inbuilt graphics too | 19:03 |

| hiddenghost | wols: I don't know if I want a new video card yet. | 19:04 |
| Phusion | hehe | 19:04 |
| hiddenghost | wols: I use blender 3d | 19:04 |
| anton_ | Jack_Sparrow: Bug fixes? | 19:04 |
| wols | hiddenghost: probably not worth the expenditure with a system that old | 19:04 |
| anton_ | Why wouldn't I use the latest version? | 19:04 |
| wols | hiddenghost: so what chipset do you use? | 19:04 |

| profanephobia | wols, i didnt ask to ask a question bub | 19:05 |
| wols | lastelement1: yes but that depends on the ISO. not issue with what brun program you use | 19:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | genii: YOu really dont want my opinion on Wine and running windows apps with it.. | 19:05 |

| ip00n3 | /server | 19:06 |

| wols | profanephobia: don't call me bub. you did implictly by not asking any sort of useful question. repeatedly. now have a nice day and solve your own problems | 19:06 |
| Slart | OldSpice: yup.. I guess they didn't want to interfere with ctrl-c =) | 19:06 |
| hiddenghost | wols: sorry for my confusion. what do you mean chip set? I stated that I have intel 845 | 19:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ip00n3: Avoid the WTx if you dont mind | 19:06 |
| profanephobia | wols, you need to clam down.. | 19:06 |
| tim167 | how can i transcode from an AVI to an OGG video file ? | 19:06 |
| genii | Jack_Sparrow: Well, perhaps not :) But it's hard as i said for users to get help with it when they only support versions later than what come packaged | 19:06 |
| profanephobia | wols, calm* | 19:07 |
| wols | hiddenghost: ok, that's a chipset. the chipset is quite old and still uses SDR RAM. unlikely any videocard ugprade will help much | 19:07 |

| Phusion | OldSpice: Add this to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: blacklist pcspkr | 19:18 |
| rudihawk | Acee1234 how much RAM do u have? | 19:18 |
| velko | profobofucho, a package can be (auto)removed for two reasons: 1. it depends on some other package which you want to remove (and can't work without this package) or 2. it was installed automatically as a dependency for some other package. in the second case you can just install explicitly this package. to be able to to the first makes no sense | 19:18 |
| profobofucho | no, that's what im asking, Ttech, becouse in 7.10 it is A DEFAULT | 19:18 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 19:19 |
| acee1234 | acee1234: 1GB | 19:19 |
| Ttech | profobofucho, No its not. Its still waiting for me to do autoremove? | 19:19 |
| Ttech | profobofucho, Apt- or syntapitic? | 19:19 |
| profobofucho | well, not for me... Ttech | 19:19 |
| sorous1 | so i should run grub-install | 19:19 |
| rudihawk | hmmm, acee1234 thats odd | 19:19 |
| profobofucho | apt-get, Ttech | 19:19 |
| LetterRip_ | Ttech - the user was able to throttle the CPU to 50% and still play a movie; whereas without the modification it was max throttling of 25% before he could playback the vid | 19:19 |
| askand | Can I check what batter I am using in ubuntu? | 19:19 |
| sorous1 | but what should i set grub-shell? | 19:19 |
| acee1234 | acee1234: something is sucking ram | 19:19 |
| sorous1 | GRUB-SHELL | 19:19 |
| acee1234 | acee1234: 800meg used and nothing major is running | 19:19 |
| rudihawk | acee1234, what are your visual settings? | 19:20 |
| Pici | askand: batter? | 19:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sorous1: you can just format the other partiton and use it for /home if you dont already have a seperate /home... but careful about messing up grub in the process depending on how you have it setup now | 19:20 |
| rudihawk | are they on none? | 19:20 |
| acee1234 | rudihawk: what do you mean | 19:20 |
| OldSpice | phusion: i dont think i understood that completely | 19:20 |
| profobofucho | velko, i know exactly what autoremove does, i just dont want it as a default, i want it as a separate feature | 19:20 |
| rudihawk | preferences>appearance>visual effects | 19:21 |
| acee1234 | rudihawk: xgl is eating 366 megs | 19:21 |
| askand | Pici: sorry battery | 19:21 |
| profobofucho | velko, if i want something broke in my system, why should autoremove not let me have it? | 19:21 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: alright, you need to open up a terminal, type sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 19:21 |
| OldSpice | phusion: i did that command and i'm inside a blacklist menu i think, than i would just simply type in "blacklist pcspkr" than enter? | 19:21 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: add this line to the file: blacklist pcspkr | 19:21 |
| timnik | Anyone know what I must put into my /etc/network/interfaces so it has the same effect as "sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1"? | 19:21 |
| acee1234 | rudihawk: running kde | 19:21 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: save, quit, reboot, should get rid of the beeps | 19:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sorous1: are you trying to grub repair ? | 19:22 |
| rudihawk | acee1234, sorry mate... | 19:22 |
| velko | profobofucho, this is not the right place for such request. and beeing just emotional (speaking for the sake of speaking) on a technical support channel is rather confusing | 19:22 |
| thefirstdude | where does apt-get download files to before doing dpkg | 19:22 |
| Phusion | timnik: I can help you in a query | 19:22 |
| Pici | askand: For gnome there is a battery applet that you can set in your System>Preferences>Power, or on the command line you can cat one of the files in /proc/acpi/battery/ | 19:22 |
| hiddenghost | wols: I took some time to look, now I'm in the terminal looking at my hardware information with out a clue of how to identify the video card. | 19:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thefirstdude: var/cache/apt/archives | 19:22 |
| timnik | Phusion, thanks | 19:23 |
| profobofucho | velko: what "such" question? i'm asking something really technical, i dont want autoremove in my system!!!! | 19:23 |
| OldSpice | phusion: how would i save this blacklist? i don't see save anywhere. | 19:23 |
| Phusion | timnik: check pribmsg | 19:23 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: ctrl x | 19:23 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: then hit Y | 19:23 |
| velko | profobofucho, i don't think this is possible. this was hinted by my first answer. maybe someone else knows more than i do | 19:23 |
| OldSpice | phusion: thank you so much, let me try a reboot and see how it goes :] | 19:23 |
| soroush | Jack_Sparrow | 19:24 |
| profobofucho | velko: well then you shouldn't answer | 19:24 |

| soroush | but i want to throw it away | 19:25 |

| tifine | does anybody know how to mount an file.img ? | 19:25 |
| profobofucho | velko: and i am, what i am not willing to listen is others saying my questions do not qualify in this channel without even understanding the question | 19:25 |
| profobofucho | robdig: thankyou very much! | 19:25 |
| soroush | tifine, mount file.img /here -o loo[ | 19:26 |
| soroush | loop* | 19:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | soroush: Ah... If it were me.. I would backup my mbr with dd I would backup my grub/boot/menu.lst .. one of many options would be.. cp /boot/grub/menu.lst ~/Desktop/menu.lst.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) | 19:26 |

| alain | guys how can i exit xserver and go to the cmd line | 19:30 |
| rudihawk | I have a small problem, i am running ati restricted drivers for my Radeon X550X, but when i try turn the visual effects on it says, "the composite extension is not available", any ideas? | 19:30 |
| tifine | phusion: tell me the command ! | 19:30 |
| hiddenghost | wols: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL | 19:30 |
| jeff__ | hey guys hw do i install any software ubuntu | 19:30 |
| crdlb | rudihawk: when using the restricted driver, you just use Xgl to make compiz work | 19:31 |
| nickrud | rudihawk, install xserver-xgl , log out and back in. ati doesn't have the aiglx stuff, so you need that special server | 19:31 |
| crdlb | rudihawk: because the restricted driver is terrible | 19:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jeff__: synaptic ... apt-get... aptitude | 19:31 |
| wols | hiddenghost: ok, then a very low end videocard might help. something in the 30$ range | 19:31 |
| rudihawk | thanks | 19:31 |
| tifine | phusion: its done thnxs | 19:31 |
| soroush | have i missed anything ? | 19:31 |
| hiddenghost | wols: that sounds good | 19:31 |
| robdig | alain: ctrl+alt+f1 will get you to a console, ctrl+alt+f7 will get you back to X | 19:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | soroush: There are others better at tis, but I would boot live, format the suse partition and repair grub.. but have those backup files handy in your email account or wherever for reference... a copy of fdisk would also help people help ou.. sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt | 19:31 |
| nickrud | crdlb, it's not terrible, only crappy :) | 19:31 |
| tacone | alain: ctr+alt+f1 shuold take you to the command line, then you can close xserver by a command or killing it | 19:32 |
| brophat | what program is the file browser that ubuntu uses? | 19:32 |
| nickrud | brophat, nautilus | 19:32 |

| PaulyHog | hello i was wondering if somneone could help me please | 19:32 |
| hiddenghost | wols: should that help the zbuffer problem? | 19:32 |

| robdig | PaulyHog: ask your question and we will all find out... | 19:33 |
| soroush | Jack_Sparrow, thanks, my suse is on /dev/sda9--- how should i format it? | 19:33 |
| Phusion | hiddenghost: any newer graphics card you buy will probably help | 19:33 |

| Jack_Sparrow | soroush: gparted | 19:33 |
| alain | same | 19:33 |
| PaulyHog | ok, i have just installed ubuntu to the hard drive, but it doesnt load the gui by default, is there a command to load it or have i installed it wrong | 19:33 |
| soroush | and then how should i run grub-install | 19:33 |
| soroush | my ubuntu is on sda7 | 19:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | soroush: Do you only have one drive in the system | 19:34 |
| hiddenghost | Phusion: ok, then that's that. new graphics card it is. | 19:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | soroush: Is the suse already an ext3? | 19:34 |

| dsvick | I'm using Ubuntu 7.1 (Gutsy) and have Gedit 2.20.3 and would like to change the syntax highlighting settings | 19:41 |
| dsvick | I've seen a "syntax highlighting" tab in the preferences dialog in examples on the web but do not have it on my version | 19:41 |
| dsvick | I've seen posts to forums saying that it got removed in error and was to get put back but have not been able find anything | 19:41 |
| Scusio | i got a problem with my livecd...after a while when the livecd doens't start i get an error saying the display server has been shut down 6 times in the last 2 minutes. probably something bad is going on. | 19:41 |
| dsvick | that says it was ever actually corrected, does anyone know anything about this? | 19:41 |
| proprietarysucks | Pici: yes that would work too | 19:41 |
| pike_ | PaulyHog: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop does it say that is already installed? | 19:42 |
| Pici | proprietarysucks: No. | 19:42 |

If the answer is yes, what is the address to launch phpmyadmin? Under windows I put all under localhost. In this case the installation was done under /etc/phpmyadmin and /usr/share. Is it correct? | 19:44 |

| Rada | Hi, I've just done a reboot as the system update thingy asked me to, and now grub says "Error 17: Unable to mount filesystem" or something like that. | 19:45 |
| komputes | Rada: why is using -i giving me a key error and asking me for a password for a file? | 19:45 |
| sebastian | como estan | 19:46 |
| Pici | !es | sebastian | 19:46 |
| ubotu | sebastian: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 19:46 |
| Rada | komputes: Oh, sorry. I was hoping it would have same effect as in cp. | 19:46 |
| soroush | grub-install --root-directory=/boot --grub-shell=whichFile? | 19:46 |
| Scusio | is there any command to install ubuntu without the normal live cd interface | 19:46 |
| Rada | komputes: Anyway, use rsync | 19:46 |
| Phusion | sebastian: /join #ubuntu-es for espanol | 19:46 |
| lonejack | nickrud, I try to re-install | 19:46 |
| Rada | soroush: for me? | 19:46 |
| dsvick | <fifafrazer>, the syntax highlighting works, i just cant change the setting in the preferences | 19:46 |
| PaulyHog | pike_ i get "E: couldnt find package ubuntu-desktop | 19:47 |
| scragar | Scusio: there's a command line installer(see alternate CD), and I think the liveCD for 7.10 comes with a command line installer as well, can't be sure about that though | 19:47 |
| dsvick | anyone know if there is there a config file I could edit manually? | 19:47 |
| brophat | anyone know where nautilus keeps all of its thumbnails? | 19:47 |
| scaldov | hey people, what about mouse-over unhide of the left panel in gnome+compiz? | 19:47 |
| ip00n | OMFG WHY IS MY PENDRIVE NOT NOTICED!? | 19:47 |
| Rada | dsvick: You can edit all config files manually... | 19:47 |
| atoponce | hardy heron won't be an lts release? | 19:47 |
| Pici | !caps | ip00n | 19:47 |
| ip00n | when i plug it in, nothing happens!! | 19:47 |
| ubotu | ip00n: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 19:47 |
| ip00n | sorry | 19:47 |
| nickrud | lonejack, if you look under /etc/apache2/conf.d , you'll see a link to the phpmyadmin config, that will feed it properly to you | 19:47 |
| Rada | !repeat | 19:47 |
| ubotu | 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 | 19:47 |
| Pici | atoponce: Huh? Where did you hear that? | 19:47 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | ok... dont know for how long the flash have not worked since i am a new user... can anyone tell? | 19:48 |
| pike_ | PaulyHog: im not sure why you are getting that do this 'lsb-release -a' what does this say? | 19:48 |
| Rada | I guess I shouldn't repeat again, then | 19:48 |
| SpookyET | BMPx is pretty nice. I think it has the best last.fm integration out of all the players i've tried. | 19:48 |
| atoponce | Pici: http://blog.nixternal.com/2007.12.20/kubuntu-804-featuring-kde-4/ | 19:48 |
| dsvick | Rada: maybe I'll try that then, be easier to use the dialog though if it worked | 19:48 |
| pike_ | PaulyHog: er lsb_release -a | 19:48 |
| fifafrazer | dsvick, oh.. I see.. I misunderstood :) | 19:48 |
| Rada | dsvick: Dunno, rsync is pretty straight forward if you feel comfortable enough in the shell. | 19:48 |
| Rada | Grub, on the other hand, is an entirely different beast. | 19:48 |
| Pici | atoponce: I suspect that Kubuntu wont be LTS, but Ubuntu will. Perhaps #kubuntu has more info. | 19:48 |
| Pici | atoponce: Also, thanks for you blog post about the irssi aliases, I use them daily. | 19:49 |
| nickrud | atoponce, that's for the kubuntu, desktop, not the guts | 19:49 |
| atoponce | nickrud: what? | 19:49 |
| scragar | dsvick: Gedit config ==> ~/.gconf/apps/gedit-2 | 19:49 |
| pike_ | PaulyHog: what version? | 19:49 |
| dsvick | fifafrazer: no problem, any thoughts? | 19:49 |
| atoponce | Pici: np. :) | 19:49 |
| nickrud | atoponce, um, same as what Pici said, the kde desktop, not the gnome desktop or server | 19:50 |
| fifafrazer | not really | 19:50 |
| nixternal | atoponce: Kubuntu Hardy Heron won't be LTS, the rest will be | 19:50 |
| atoponce | nickrud: (and Pici ) that doesn't make sense, to me anyway. kubuntu is just ubuntu with kde. so how could ubuntu be lts an kubuntu not? | 19:50 |
| PaulyHog | pike_ it says no lsb modules found, v6,10 | 19:50 |
| atoponce | nixternal: when will the next kubuntu be lts? | 19:50 |
| nickrud | atoponce, as I understand it, canonical stands behind ubuntu, while the motus have kubuntu | 19:51 |
| nixternal | 2 years I guess, but that is up to Canonical and the Technical Board | 19:51 |
| dsvick | scragar: I'm new at Ubuntu, where would that be, starting in my home folder? | 19:51 |
| Phusion | me, I'm waiting on Jewbuntu with a full copy of the tora | 19:51 |
| atoponce | nixternal: but, dapper kubuntu was lts? | 19:51 |
| * Phusion ducks | 19:51 | |
| nixternal | correct | 19:51 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | Is it normally enough to install the "flashplugin-nonfree" to make flash work properly???? | 19:51 |
| scragar | dsvick: ~/ is your home folder, the .gconf file is hidden, so you'll need to show hidden files. | 19:51 |
| nickrud | Aondo, but nixternal knows better than I | 19:51 |
| pike_ | PaulyHog: id recommend downloading the 7.10 iso and installing that | 19:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ubuntubruger3: see topic | 19:52 |
| Phusion | Ubuntubruger3: if you visit a page that requires flash in firefox, it will install it if you click the Install Missing Plugins | 19:52 |
| lonejack | nickrud, do you mean /etc/apache2/apache2.conf? | 19:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Flash is BROKEN | 19:52 |
| * sorous1 i get dc in the middle of talk . ugh | 19:52 | |
| Phusion | there's a mozilla-gnash plugin that works :/ | 19:52 |
| Phusion | use gnash | 19:52 |
| PaulyHog | pike_ ok i will try that then, thank you for your help thus far | 19:52 |
| tacone | atoponce: I guess they're doing to focus and speed up the adoption of kde4 | 19:52 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | ok... for how long how the flash not been functioning? | 19:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ubuntubruger3: comming up on two weeks | 19:53 |
| nickrud | lonejack, no, the real work is in /etc/apache2/conf.d , that is where packages can drop apache configuration snippets that will be integrated into an http.conf automagically | 19:53 |
| dsvick | scragar: ok, let me take a look | 19:53 |
| sorous1 | Rada, missed anything. i want an expert to confirm my cmd | 19:53 |
| sorous1 | i understand how risky my work is | 19:53 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | ok thanks... does anyone know when it wiil be up again? | 19:54 |
| brophat | I don't have permision to go into /lost+found | 19:54 |
| Rem | Hello! Can i ask a question please? | 19:54 |
| Rada | sorous1: Make a copy of your file tree(s) and test it. | 19:54 |
| brophat | and when I go "sudo cd lost+found" it says does not know the command | 19:54 |
| nickrud | brophat, sudo -i , then you can cd into lost+found | 19:54 |
| tacone | !ask | Rem | 19:54 |
| sorous1 | ? | 19:54 |
| ubotu | Rem: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 19:54 |
| brophat | ahh ok | 19:54 |
| brophat | nickrud why -i? | 19:54 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | Jack Sparrow: Do you know when flash is to be working again? | 19:55 |
| RealTe1 | Is there a way to back up all the packages in synaptic? | 19:55 |
| sorous1 | Rada, my file trees | 19:55 |
| wols | sorous1: doy ou have a separate /boot partition? | 19:55 |
| Rada | sorous1: your folders with files. | 19:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone > RealTe1 | 19:55 |
| nickrud | brophat, to ensure you are using /root as your home dir, rather than /home/<you> . you can mess up config files if not careful that way | 19:55 |
| brophat | hmm ok | 19:55 |
| RealTe1 | !automate | 19:55 |
| 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 | 19:55 |
| Dombre | hello how do I connect to a remote machine? | 19:55 |
| Rem | Is there some place where I can download a full version of Ubuntu so that my harddrive is totally erased with the install of the new Ubuntu OS ? | 19:56 |
| wols | Dombre: depends on the protocol | 19:56 |
| brophat | nickrud do you know here nautilus keeps their thumbnails? | 19:56 |
| Dombre | ssh | 19:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RealTe1: That is what you wanted to do ..correct? | 19:56 |
| nickrud | brophat, it can be iluminating to do : sudo -i , then env , then sudo -s , then env ; | 19:56 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | Jack Sparrow: Do you know when flash is to be working again? | 19:56 |
| RealTe1 | Jack_Sparrow: I suppose. | 19:56 |
| brophat | nickrud I am gonna check out the manpage for sudo | 19:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ubuntubruger3: no one knows for sure.. thaey have it working for firefox but not opera and whatever.. | 19:57 |
| nickrud | brophat, i think it's just .thumbnails | 19:57 |
| Rem | I would like to have my harddrive empty after install of Ubuntu | 19:57 |
| brophat | I am still tyring to decide if I like having to always type sudo, as apposed to just su | 19:57 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | Jack Sparrow: ...but I am using Firefox??? | 19:57 |
| brophat | su'ing into root | 19:57 |
| soroush | back again, last message i had was: | 19:57 |
| Rem | Does anyone know? | 19:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ubuntubruger3: The problem is.. if you use the workaround, you may have a mess when the real fix comes down | 19:57 |
| robdig | Rem: download it from www.ubuntu.com. you will have the option to erase (format) your hard drive when you decide to install. | 19:57 |
| soroush | (11:25:26 PM) sorous1: all is on / | 19:57 |
| soroush | (11:25:31 PM) sorous1: partition | 19:57 |
| Dombre | wols: I told my friend to enable remote desktop and had her install ssh, when I try the vncveiwer command and input her ip nothing happens. | 19:57 |
| nickrud | brophat, good reading. I'd started using sudo a very long time ago after doing a recursive remove as root. I lost track of what term I was in. | 19:57 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | Jack Sparrow: OK, so I should wait... | 19:58 |
| wols | Dombre: rdesktop | 19:58 |
| wols | Dombre: no ssh needed for remote desktop on windwso | 19:58 |
| robdig | Rem: but you don't have to erase or format it | 19:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ubuntubruger3: The best choice.. yes | 19:58 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | Jack Sparrow: Thanks for your patience | 19:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 19:58 |
| brophat | nickrud haha ok ic, but on a daily basis it is kind of a pain not being able to have a root window, in fact it is a big pain | 19:58 |
| Rem | Actually i dont get that option. I only get a install from cd where my original os still remains on the computer | 19:59 |

| wols | Dombre: is your friend behind a router? | 19:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ubuntubruger3: If you want to do a full backup and understand the concequences... you can do the workaround | 19:59 |
| Dombre | yes | 19:59 |
| robdig | Rem: yes, and then burn it and install from it :) | 19:59 |
| wols | Dombre: then he need to port forward. port 22/tcp for ssh and port 5900/tcp for vnc | 19:59 |
| soroush | wols, don't you have any idea about grub-shell? | 19:59 |
| RealTe1 | Jack_Sparrow: Heya, anyone upgrade to the 2.6.22 kernel on Gutsy, it has caused a bit of a dilemma. I tend to blame the kernel on all my problems because it's the most sophisticated element in the system, but Gutsy locks on logon, although it works fine in root(recovery) | 19:59 |
| timothyv491 | hey everyone | 20:00 |

| oxxi | Hi everyone | 20:00 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | Jack Sparrow.... nah.. not interested. Just installed ubuntu for the very first time a few days ago and though I was missing something in the installation procedure | 20:00 |
| wols | < wols> sorous1: do you have a separate /boot partition? | 20:00 |
| scragar | I have the .deb installer for the flash plug in(it's on one of my aptonCDs), would it be possible for other users to use it if I uploaded it as a temp fix? | 20:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RealTe1: Running feisty on this box | 20:00 |
| soroush | wols,no | 20:00 |
| wols | soroush: what is your / | 20:00 |
| soroush | wols, all are on partition / | 20:00 |
| soroush | / is / | 20:00 |
| RealTe1 | Jack_Sparrow: Could you still provide me some sort of assistance? | 20:00 |
| Holger | hi, does anyone know a tool like rsync, which will copy only the changed parts - to save bandwith - but between local drives. (using a file to store checksums or something like that) | 20:00 |
| wols | / has a devicenode. which one? | 20:01 |
| lonejack | nickrud!!! I'm inside | 20:01 |
| Geoffrey2 | in Screen and Graphics settings, when I try to test a resolution, the screen blanks, then I get basically a white and black background with my cursor being a black X, is that what it's supposed to do, or is that indicating a problem? | 20:01 |
| RealTe1 | Jack_Sparrow: anything advice, I'd really appreciate | 20:01 |
| oxxi | Hey there I have a prob. with installing flash on my ubuntu | 20:01 |
| TwigEther | Holger: you can rsync to local drives >_> | 20:01 |
| soroush | wols, / is /dev/ sda7 | 20:01 |
| Rem | I have burned it but I dont get an option to format my harddrive. | 20:01 |
| timothyv491 | guys: I'm trying to play a live stream that requires Quicktime (possibly the latest version-7) is there a way to get that? there's no downloads for i... | 20:01 |
| wols | soroush: grub-install /dev/hda7 | 20:01 |
| scragar | oxxi: read the topic, flash isn't working atm | 20:01 |
| soroush | wols, will it do all | 20:01 |
| soroush | ? | 20:01 |
| Holger | TwigEther: I know.. but it does not do the bandwith saving part locally does it ? | 20:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RealTe1: I am a little under the weather to be troubleshooting something like that ... I assume you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 20:02 |
| wols | sorry. grub-install /dev/sda | 20:02 |
| TwigEther | no idea. | 20:02 |
| lonejack | I had a problem, during apache restart I received " Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName", so I tried http://127.0.1.1/phpmyadmin/ !!! | 20:02 |

| Rem | The Ubuntu does not get installed in such a way that microsoft windows do. | 20:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RealTe1: Look for errors in dmesg etc? | 20:03 |
| lonejack | nickrud, I had a problem, during apache restart I received " Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName", so I tried http://127.0.1.1/phpmyadmin/ !!! | 20:03 |
| wols | lonejack: I am sure it's no 172.0.1.1. if anything it's 127.0.0.1. set your proper hostname and reverse dns | 20:03 |
| RealTe1 | Jack_Sparrow: How do I do that? | 20:03 |
| Holger | TwigEther: I dont think it does. It does not save any extra info on the files - so it needs to read the files interely to know the difference.. and therefore just copies them (after looking at the timestamp to see if the dest is older) | 20:03 |

| thefirstdude | is there a verse-blender debian package or something | 20:06 |

| Rem | The cd i burn and install ubuntu from does not format my computer. Does anyone know what i can do? | 20:08 |
| scragar | Rem: use gparted on the liveCD to wipe it before you start? | 20:08 |
| pike_ | Rem: you need to resize or must format whole thing? | 20:08 |
| robdig | Rem: once you boot up the live CD, doubleclick the install icon on the desktop to start the installation. the live CD doesn't touch the hard disk until you tell it to | 20:09 |
| Rem | I want to format and remove all on the computer. I assume that i can switch to microsoft windows later if i want that? | 20:09 |
| robdig | Rem: yes | 20:10 |
| PirateHead | Is there a way to re-order the programs in your task bar? | 20:10 |
| PirateHead | Drag and drop doesn't work. | 20:10 |
| proprietarysucks | right click and unlock it | 20:10 |
| proprietarysucks | then you can drag | 20:10 |
| proprietarysucks | that's gnome, not ubuntu | 20:11 |
| mrdinkles | I just dled a ISO file-- Was going to burn it to a disc when i got to work-- however it now says the file has been changed or removed... how can i check if its on my computer, where can find it? | 20:11 |
| PirateHead | Ah, I see. Good. | 20:11 |
| PirateHead | proprietarysucks: Ubuntu is Gnome, like it or not. :-) | 20:11 |
| cheeby | hi. is there a good quake-like terminal for gnome? I've been using tilda, but it freezes up about every three or four hours. | 20:11 |
| dsvick | scragar: I've found them, I'll have to poke around to find the right one now - thanks | 20:11 |
| proprietarysucks | PirateHead: no it's not.. | 20:11 |
| cheeby | yakuake on gnome doesn't seem to work so well. | 20:11 |
| Geoffrey2 | I'm trying to change the screen resolution, and when I test the new settings I'm getting what looks like a white and black cross thatched background with a black x for my cursor...is that what should be happening, or is there a problem with my settings? | 20:11 |
| proprietarysucks | mrdinkles: find / -name "*.ISO" | 20:12 |
| PirateHead | mrdinkles: proprietarysucks' command might take awhile. You could also use locate. | 20:12 |
| proprietarysucks | forgot this is ubuntu, actually that would be sudo find / -name "*.ISO" | 20:12 |
| Ali_ix | proprietarysucks: i prefer -iname for case insensetive search | 20:12 |
| CapaH | I have a friend on the phone who somehow messed up something in their Ubuntu install. I have tried walking them through how to fix it, but being unable to *see* the screen I am at the end of what I can suggest. Bottom line, their x-windows wont start, and they get this error: "No screens found" when they try: startx --- I tried: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg --- without success. Any ideas? | 20:13 |
| dsvick | How can I get rid of the tooltip popups for the minimized programs in the taskbar when I mouse over them? Can't find a setting preferences. | 20:13 |
| Rem | The cd i install from says" Boot from this cd to try ubuntu without effecting your system. I dont really have any other option. | 20:13 |
| proprietarysucks | Rem: try it | 20:13 |
| PirateHead | dsvick: If it's not in gconf, you would probably have to recompile something. | 20:14 |
| Ali_ix | dsvick: take a look on gconf-editor | 20:14 |
| robdig | Rem: boot from the cd, and it will start ubuntu. once loaded, there will be an install icon on the desktop, double click that to install | 20:14 |
| mrdinkles | Next question-- I have Cedega installed, i want to remove it, as well as some other files that do not appear in the remove programs list-- How can i remove these? | 20:14 |
| proprietarysucks | Rem: it is a live environment, which also has the option to install | 20:14 |
| Ali_ix | dsvick: you cat set most of gnome settings there | 20:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CapaH: did you have them select vesa mode and 1024 max res? | 20:14 |
| proprietarysucks | mrdinkles: sudo apt-get remove cedega | 20:14 |
| PirateHead | mrdinkles: Did you add them using apt-get or using some other script? | 20:14 |
| Rem | I have installed it and i can switch between that or ms windows but i cant format the harddrive. | 20:14 |
| CapaH | Jack_Sparrow: No trying that now | 20:14 |
| proprietarysucks | Rem: please be specific about what your problem is | 20:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CapaH: also set max depth to 16 for the test | 20:15 |
| mrdinkles | PirateHead: probably with apt-get... | 20:15 |
| thefirstdude | how can I make a .deb from source | 20:15 |
| PirateHead | mrdinkles: In that case, you would also remove it using apt-get as per proprietarysucks' suggestion. | 20:15 |
| dsvick | Ali_ix: where would that be? dont see it in 'system' | 20:15 |
| morphles | how come: in fstab i set to mount with exec but i restart and it is mounted noexec ? | 20:15 |
| mrdinkles | PirateHead: After using the find command-- it just reapears as michael~laptop> | 20:16 |
| PirateHead | mrdinkles: It's definitely a good idea to add things using apt-get when you can, since that makes them easier to keep track of and potentially remove. | 20:16 |
| PirateHead | mrdinkles: That means it didn't find anything. | 20:16 |
| Rem | I cant install ubuntu as i would with microsoft windows os. I cant format the harddrive and then install ubuntu. I only want ubuntu not ms windows. | 20:16 |
| Ali_ix | dsvick: you can enable it via edit menu (right click on a menu) or open with terminal/alt+f2 dialog | 20:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !package | 20:16 |
| cGc | Rem, there should be a partition option during setup | 20:16 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about package - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:16 |

| Rem | No i cant. | 20:17 |
| EdgEy | why not? | 20:17 |
| EdgEy | what happens instead> | 20:17 |
| cGc | should he try booting with the liveCD and then formatting with gparted or something? i wonder why that partition tool isnt coming up for him during install | 20:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rem: NOrmally.. you can select it to use the entire drive....please say what options you get | 20:18 |
| dsvick | Ali_ix: found it thanks | 20:18 |
| tarelerulz | I am trying to play a dvd with vlc and I don't know what I use for dvd ? how would you find out /dev/dvd / It has couple files in /dev/cdrom one is dvd how do you know which one you use ? | 20:18 |
| proprietarysucks | Rem: you want to remove all data on the hard drive before install right? | 20:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cGc: Some large drives take awhile or hang gparted.... gparted livecd is one way around it | 20:19 |
| Martez | Hi, this is my first time here so I am not sure about etiquette- do I just ask my question and wait? | 20:19 |
| fwaokda | i installed "wubi" but after the ubuntu loading screen i get a black screen. what can i do to fix this??? | 20:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ask > Martez | 20:19 |
| Some_Person | Martez: Yes, just ask. | 20:19 |
| cGc | Rem, you are booting and then clicking install right? from the desktop | 20:19 |
| Ali_ix | Martez: yes :) | 20:19 |
| GhoSt_DoG | !ask > GhoSt_DoG | 20:19 |
| Ali_ix | Martez: and welcome :) | 20:19 |
| proprietarysucks | Rem: all you have to do is run a terminal, let me know when it's open | 20:19 |
| cGc | Jack_Sparrow, maybe he should try the gparted liveCD? | 20:20 |
| PirateHead | !botsnack | 20:20 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 20:20 |
| cGc | !botsnack | 20:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cGc: It isnt a huge download and I have had great luck with it | 20:20 |
| LetterRip_ | is there a dedicated channel to improving Ubuntu with laptops? | 20:20 |
| Some_Person | cGc: Ubuntu Live does NOT come with GParted. | 20:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cGc: lets see what fdisk -l shows for him | 20:20 |
| Martez | Windows just crashed on me and I thought it a good opportunity to install the new Ubuntu, since it now supports my wireless card- I have all my music, photos, documents, etc, from Windows backed up on a WD Passport- is it possible to get the files stored on there off and onto Ubuntu once I have it installed? It's a pretty hefty amount of data and it's sort of the dealbreaker for whether or not I install Ubuntu | 20:21 |
| proprietarysucks | you don't need gparted to partition or format disks | 20:21 |
| EdgEy | perhaps this is a bit advanced but | 20:21 |
| PirateHead | LetterRip_: This is the general Ubuntu support channel. We help people with laptops, desktops, and whatever else in generla. | 20:21 |
| EdgEy | you could install gparted via apt on the ubuntu livecd | 20:21 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: same hard drive or different? | 20:21 |
| EdgEy | saves having to burn another cd | 20:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | proprietarysucks: true... but it is a nice easy gui way of doing it | 20:21 |
| PirateHead | LetterRip_: So, to answer your question directly, I do not know of any more specialized channel for laptop help. | 20:21 |
| rakyr | is tunneldigger or carpaltunnel better and easier for connecting to vpns? | 20:21 |
| cGc | Rem, you still here? | 20:21 |
| Martez | proprietarysucks: same hard drive | 20:22 |
| PirateHead | rakyr: Definitely carpaldigger. | 20:22 |
| Rem | My only option is this " Boot from this cd to try ubuntu without effecting your system" This is the only option I have. | 20:22 |
| rakyr | i dont' get an openvpn option on the network-manager applet. !network-manager | rakyr | 20:22 |
| Rem | a | 20:22 |
| * robdig sighs deeply | 20:22 | |
| proprietarysucks | Rem: yes that's the option you want | 20:22 |
| LetterRip_ | PirateHead, I'm interested in a broad scale effort to document/update the LaptopTestingTeam page | 20:22 |
| cGc | Rem, yeah boot the CD and on the desktop you will see the install icon | 20:22 |
| LetterRip_ | not really appropriate for this channel :) | 20:22 |
| proprietarysucks | Rem: stop reading it over and over and press enter for gods sake | 20:22 |
| vb | how can I auto-mount the DVD's ?, I am using Gutsy Gibbon | 20:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 20:23 |
| PirateHead | LetterRip_: That's great! If you want to start your own channel and/or wiki page for people who want to help with that effort, you should go ahead. | 20:23 |
| Rem | I have installed the ubuntu but microsoft windows is still in the computer. | 20:23 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: you know about partitions ? | 20:23 |
| proprietarysucks | Rem: try to listen to me | 20:23 |
| Rem | k | 20:23 |
| proprietarysucks | Rem: when ubuntu starts up after that option, it's a live cd running off your ram, not in your hard drive | 20:23 |
| proprietarysucks | Rem: you must do another step to install it for real | 20:24 |
| Rem | k. what is that? | 20:24 |
| EdgEy | there is an install icon | 20:24 |
| EdgEy | on the desktop | 20:24 |
| PirateHead | Rem: the for-realz install is initiated using the "Intall" icon on your desktop. | 20:24 |
| EdgEy | after you load ubuntu from that cd | 20:24 |
| thefirstdude | what do I need to install to get libstdc++.so | 20:24 |
| Martez | proprietarysucks: A little, yeah- it's been a while since I've really gotten into this stuff- I sort of shut my brain off and dealt with windows for a long time. | 20:24 |
| PirateHead | !punctuation | EdgEy | 20:24 |
| ubotu | EdgEy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:24 |
| EdgEy | !qq | PirateHead | 20:24 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about qq - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:24 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: partition just like the regular english word partition, a seperation | 20:24 |
| Pici | EdgEy: Dont do that. Listen to the bot. | 20:25 |
| cGc | i'm pretty sure i told him about that icon a few times haha | 20:25 |
| unbeatabl | when setting up vps, is there a way so that all your virtual machines get to share the same hard disk space as the main server? meaning i dont want to allocate a certain amount of hard disk space for each vm, is this possible? | 20:25 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: you must sperate the windows part of the drive from the future ubuntu | 20:25 |
| Phusion | thefirstdude: http://www.debugmode.com/userforums/viewtopic.php?t=6125&sid=2c0bdf1d4ed64c74584effabe83937e8 | 20:25 |

| Jack_Sparrow | everyone did | 20:25 |
| cGc | =P | 20:25 |
| luca | hi everyone | 20:25 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: to do this you must resize the partition which already is there, using a livecd | 20:25 |
| Wyvern| | I have a linux box where the drives containing /home/ occationally doesn't mount on boot, and the boot itself fails. (I have to press Ctrl-D to continue). This is quite annoying, as I prefer to SSH to it and fix the issues. Any way to disable the forced check/"Press Ctrl-D" on boot, and make it boot regardless of errors? | 20:25 |
| Martez | proprietarysucks: Yeah, I know that I can install Ubuntu on the blank space of the current partition- I was kind of hoping I could wipe the whole drive and just use Ubuntu | 20:26 |
| jonathan8d1 | Hey guys | 20:26 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: you said you wanted the files from windows | 20:26 |
| mrga_cro | hi | 20:26 |
| luca | I have a strange problem with an Intersil Prism wireless card | 20:26 |
| mrga_cro | anybody has acer aspire 5520 | 20:26 |
| Martez | Yeah, but I have the files I want on an external HD right now, as well- a Western Digital Passport | 20:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | proprietarysucks: external | 20:26 |
| Kirua | to-techniques | 20:26 |
| cGc | mrga_cro, i have the 5000 | 20:26 |
| Martez | so I could just format the whole drive | 20:26 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: in that case it's super easy | 20:26 |
| mrga_cro | i have problem with bluettooth | 20:26 |
| Martez | Super easy is good :) | 20:26 |
| PirateHead | !ask | mrga_cro, luca, jonathan8d1 | 20:26 |
| ubotu | mrga_cro, luca, jonathan8d1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 20:27 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: what install media do you have? | 20:27 |
| luca | it is recognized and functions flawlessly with the live cd, but when ubuntu is installed, it does no longer function, not even installing the windows drivers | 20:27 |
| cGc | mrga_cro, i didnt get that option on mine, sorry | 20:27 |
| Martez | I have a Live CD | 20:27 |
| luca | PirateHead give me the time to write it ;) | 20:27 |
| komputes | how can i save a one click vnc shortcut, with the password and everything? | 20:27 |

| proprietarysucks | Martez: then double click the install icon | 20:27 |
| Martez | I'm running on it right now | 20:27 |
| mrga_cro | what program i should use to connect to bluetooth | 20:27 |
| Martez | Here's the one thing: | 20:27 |
| mrga_cro | my mobile and lap | 20:28 |
| PirateHead | luca: I had that problem and it turned out that my wireless switch was turned off. Have you checked for the silly stuff like that? | 20:28 |
| Phusion | mrga_cro: my aspire has a bluetooth logo, but no bluetooth actually in it, have you successfully used it before? | 20:28 |
| unbeatabl | when setting up vps, is there a way so that all your virtual machines get to share the same hard disk space as the main server? meaning i dont want to allocate a certain amount of hard disk space for each vm, is this possible? | 20:28 |

| Phusion | a-hem | 20:28 |
| PirateHead | !offtopic > elektronik123 | 20:28 |
| Martez | When I plug my Passport into the USB port right now, it recognizes it as a Passport, but I can't just look at the files stored on it and pull them off- So I'm not sure how to access the files on the Passport in Ubuntu | 20:28 |
| mrga_cro | lap has it | 20:28 |
| cGc | mrga_cro, yeah mine has the logo and the button to toggle it on and off but i dont actually have it | 20:28 |
| Phusion | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | 20:28 |
| mrga_cro | yes but i get lap with bluetooth | 20:28 |

| elektronik123 | ROUTERROUTERROUTERROUTERROUTERROUTERROUTERROUTERROUTERROUTERROUTERROUTER | 20:29 |
| mrga_cro | what is the point than | 20:29 |
| cGc | mine was "bluetooth ready" is what i found out when i got it | 20:29 |
| mrga_cro | they lie | 20:29 |
| Wyvern| | haha, like the "AirPort Ready" Macs, a while back? | 20:29 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: you will be able to don't worry | 20:30 |
| cGc | Wyvern, yes... very annoying | 20:30 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: by default some distros don't read ntfs but it's really easy to get them to | 20:30 |
| PirateHead | like "Windows Vista" ready laptops... still around today? | 20:30 |
| tarelerulz | This may sound dumb ,but how to you find out file /dev/ is your dvd drive ? is as simple as being dvd. The reason I am asking is I am trying dvd with vlc | 20:30 |
| luca | well yeah obviously the switch is on :) | 20:30 |
| PirateHead | JK guys... it can only run Vista Home Basic. | 20:30 |
| jonathan8d1 | When I used Windows, I enjoyed composing simple music using AnvilStudios (a midi sequencer.) What is a good alternative to this application? Is there an alternative to midi in the linux worId? I tried seq24/jack/Zyn, but found that combo too complex and I could not figure out how to save the sequence to a midi file. | 20:31 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: at home I have mp3s on an old windows hd that i play in linux | 20:31 |
| luca | the problem is not there | 20:31 |
| cGc | tarelerulz, when i put a dvd in and use vlc to play it, i just click okay when that window comes up and it works | 20:31 |
| mrga_cro | how can i even try to connect to mobile | 20:31 |
| Martez | proprietarysucks: Okay- right now it reads a bunch of folders named a, b, c, d, etc | 20:31 |
| BarryToeman | jonathan8d1: check out rosegarden | 20:31 |
| Martez | and then inside each one is a bunch of .dml files | 20:31 |
| PirateHead | jonathan8d1: Rosegarden and Lillypad allow you to sequence and print MIDI music. | 20:31 |
| cGc | tarelernulz, the default option works for me | 20:31 |
| Some_Person | PirateHead: jsut because it says for Vista basic doesn't mean it cant run higher | 20:31 |
| PirateHead | jonathan8d1: However, they aren't trivially easy to setu p. I couldn't figure it out. :-\ | 20:31 |
| luca | PirateHead: the switch is on | 20:31 |
| * Kirua dance le frensh quanquan sur un air de Francis Labrel | 20:31 | |

| luca | PirateHead: the problem is not there :) | 20:32 |
| Some_Person | !fr > Kirua | 20:32 |
| robdig | tarelerulz: sudo lshw|grep -i dvd | 20:32 |
| PirateHead | Some_Person: that's not the story though. It says "Vista Ready" and it can only run Vista Home Basic. | 20:32 |
| Martez | proprietarysucks: The actual, files, I guess? MP3s, .docs, etc | 20:32 |
| Wyvern| | Pro question: How to make ubuntu boot regardless of non-critical boot errors automatically? (Without pressing Ctrl-D each time)? | 20:32 |
| jonathan8d1 | PirateHead: Thanks, I'll give it a try | 20:32 |
| Some_Person | PirateHead: even my 3 year old emachines can run vista ultimate (seriously) | 20:32 |
| PirateHead | luca: If you reboot into a LiveCD, does the wireless work? | 20:32 |
| rdesh | hi all | 20:33 |
| rdesh | how come the flashplugin-nonfree package doesn't actually have the flash plugin in the package? | 20:33 |
| luca | PirateHead: yeah | 20:33 |
| PirateHead | Some_Person: Your 3-year old emachine is evidently hardier than my one-year-old laptop, then. I shoulda gone with the emachine. | 20:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rdesh: flash is broken... | 20:33 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: it looks like you didn't copy the data you thought you did | 20:33 |
| luca | PirateHead: that's the strange part | 20:33 |
| mrga_cro | install it from adobe web site | 20:33 |
| PirateHead | luca: That means it's a software problem, then. | 20:33 |
| rdesh | oh what happened? | 20:33 |
| Some_Person | PirateHead: I find that hard to believe | 20:33 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: I don't really understand what you are doing; are you trying to back up your data *now* ? | 20:34 |
| luca | PirateHead: ok well how to solve or hack or patch it? | 20:34 |
| EdgEy | most machines will run vista ultimate | 20:34 |
| jonathan8d1 | Since midi is proprietary; is there an alternative to the midi format for linux? | 20:34 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: I thought you already had data on an external drive | 20:34 |
| Martez | No, I backed it up before Windows crashed. | 20:34 |
| EdgEy | disable the eye candy and its the same as home basic | 20:34 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: ok well what it sees on there is all you have on there | 20:34 |
| EdgEy | now whether it runs slower than almost every other os going... :) | 20:34 |
| mindframe_ | is there a way to make ubuntu not require a password when coming out of suspend/standby? | 20:34 |
| proprietarysucks | Martez: it wouldn't see some and not others | 20:34 |
| Martez | Hmmm. | 20:34 |
| Martez | Interesting. | 20:34 |
| PirateHead | luca: I'm not great with wireless cards myself, but I can suggest general ideas such as reinstalling the drivers and checking dmsg to see if there's some wireless-related debug output. | 20:34 |
| Martez | Okay, then- new question :) | 20:34 |
| Martez | Can I install Ubuntu on the free space I have right now, then bring over the files on the Windows side to the Ubuntu partition and delete the Windows partition after that? | 20:35 |
| tarelerulz | robdig , thanks for the command . It sounds basic ,but sometimes in Linux the basic is the information you really need the most . | 20:35 |
| luca | PirateHead: well that's the point...I have to use the windows drivers while in the hd installed os. And they do not function. The live cd has not those drivers...yet wireless functions. | 20:35 |
| robdig | tarelerulz: np | 20:36 |
| PirateHead | luca: perhaps the Windows drivers aren't really needed? | 20:37 |
| opapo | how do you get virtualbox to load a drbl image? | 20:37 |
| Carlos_ | Hi! does anyone here knows how to fix the windows-booting problem "NTLDR" missing after having Ubuntu installed? I use GRUB, Windose is in hda3, and linux in hda1. | 20:38 |
| opapo | s/drbl/clonezilla/ | 20:38 |
| luca | PirateHead: maybe yes! | 20:38 |
| luca | PirateHead: in fact I have just found out that linux-wlan-ng-firmware might solve the problem | 20:38 |
| luca | got to check :) | 20:38 |
| PirateHead | luca: I hope so. Good luck with that. | 20:39 |
| Martez | proprietarysucks: I see what happened with the .dml files now- the software included with the passport encrypts the files it syncs as .dml - I should've just used Windows Explorer and drag/dropped them | 20:39 |
| luca | PirateHead: thanks I will tell you if it functions :) | 20:39 |
| silent_ | the last update toasted my sound card detection... I'm guessing it was the linux headers... I'm unimpressed. Any tips, or should I recompile the latest alsa? | 20:40 |
| Martez | I'm going to see if I can get Windows running again to fix this | 20:41 |
| Martez | thanks for the help, proprietarysucks | 20:41 |

| Rem | Can I ask something else also. My computer is a desktop. If i log on to a free internet with (there are those in the cities now) do i get an IP adress automatically? | 20:53 |
| Matrix | Lol okay :) well im trying to install somthing but i get : No package 'ice' found and no package 'sm' Found And i did try search for it in synaptic si was wondering if they goes under another name? | 20:53 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: you might want to try Amarok, its very powerful, kinda iTunesy though | 20:53 |
| Kernel | Matrix: what are you trying to install? | 20:54 |
| teddy233 | can i use virtual interface to manage the ips ? | 20:54 |
| silent_ | Phusion: rhythmbox is nice... itunsey as well, but without the bloat | 20:54 |
| teddy233 | can't stuff 30 NIC in a computer | 20:54 |
| Phusion | yar. | 20:54 |
| timandtom | silent_: Ok. So, how do I change it so I don't automatically connect to my neighbors network? I take the laptop lots of places, and there are a few networks I want it to connect to, I just want to remove this one specifically, not limit myself to just one network | 20:55 |
| Matrix | Well i got this "crazy" idea that i want beryl on ther (I use that computer to "learn" Ubuntu before i install it on my good computer) | 20:55 |
| OldSpice | phusion: okay ill give it a try, so would i run a terminal to get amarok? | 20:55 |
| amainland | hello is there any command line based hex editor ? | 20:55 |
| silent_ | OldSpice: try rhythmbox and amarok... I use rhythmbox myself | 20:55 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: yeah, sudo apt-get install amarok will do it, you can try in Synaptic if you're more familiar with the GUI | 20:55 |
| Kernel | Matrix: try apt-cache search beryl | 20:55 |
| Rem | I would assume i need an ip to access the internet | 20:55 |
| Phusion | silent_ is apparently an employee at rythembox :P | 20:55 |

| ubotu | luca: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 20:59 |

| Flannel | amainland: there may very well be. I just did an apt-cace search | 20:59 |
| amainland | Flannel,, sorry that didn't even occur to me,, thanks | 21:00 |
| Flannel | amainland: there's hexdump, if you want to use it with sed, I guess you could. | 21:00 |
| silent_ | timandtom: hit System > Administration > Network ... You will have a tab opened, "Connection" These are your interfaces. Click on whatever wireless connection is there and hit properties... clear the settings under that menu and hit ok | 21:00 |
| itsjustme | I saved my name at pastebin.... is there a way to see a message someone sent me earlier today? | 21:00 |

| Kernel | Matrix: are you trying to compile something? | 21:02 |
| silent_ | timandtom: take a screenshot of System > Administration > Network | 21:02 |
| Flannel | amainland: Looks like `hd` is an alias to hexdump with generic parameters, at that. | 21:02 |
| Lacrymology | how hard would it be? | 21:02 |
| silent_ | timandtom: upload it to imageshack.us | 21:02 |
| Matrix | I suppose (as i said im new and well hate my self for it but i love a challange) | 21:02 |
| amainland | Flannel,, I thinkhd was what I used, before. I just couldn't remember the command - just that it was very simple | 21:02 |

| pramz | teddy233, what will be doing the pointing ? | 21:09 |
| teddy233 | ubuntu | 21:09 |
| Lacrymology | teddy233: if you want that to happen only in your machine (or your machine works as the router) you can do it easy with iptables | 21:09 |
| vb_ | how to automount a DVD in ubuntu ? | 21:09 |
| pramz | you can use IPtables and setup ip forwarding. | 21:09 |
| teddy233 | iptables.. thats what i wanted to hear | 21:10 |
| silent_ | timandtom: http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/2861/6l1ktixag0.png | 21:10 |
| teddy233 | YAY! i get to learn about iptables now | 21:10 |
| blackgraz | yeah | 21:10 |
| pramz | teddy233, if you search google for iptables+NAT there are lots of guides. You can also checkup howtoforge | 21:10 |

| blackgraz | i just cant get it to fwd the packets to the internet | 21:11 |
| silent_ | timandtom: disable roaming | 21:11 |
| timandtom | silent_: One, thats green, not yellow. Two, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID. ETH1 PROPERTIES IS WHAT CAME UP. | 21:11 |

| blackgraz | silent_, you talking to me? | 21:12 |

| timandtom | silent_: If I don't have roaming enabled, won't it only be set up for one network? | 21:12 |
| kingace | has anybody heard of fglrx causing a blank screen instead of gdm which freezes like that? | 21:12 |
| OldSpice | how do you make a new folder within a directory? | 21:12 |
| pramz | mkdir from command line | 21:12 |
| silent_ | timandtom: sec, I'm fixing something of my own | 21:13 |
| pramz | right click in nautilus | 21:13 |
| timandtom | silent_ Ok | 21:13 |
| silent_ | timandtom: and yes... just set up individual networks and save them using the location manager | 21:13 |
| silent_ | if you need to connect to anything not in your location manager select it under ssid... all detected networks will be shown | 21:13 |
| dug_ | Can someone tell me how to record audio from a USB microphone (logitech)? Using Audacity or any recording application. Thanks | 21:14 |

| HPM_ | If my home router forwards port 2200 to my desktop on 22 (so 2200 -> 22), is there a way to use that ssh connection to tunnel my web traffic from work in such a way that I can browse my home lan from work (say to connect to my router remotely) ? | 21:14 |
| teddy233 | can i use aliases like eth0:1 eth0:2 for routing ips or MUST I have more than 1 NIC ? | 21:14 |
| mitchp | though I haven't had much success installing it lately, I think they've changed something | 21:14 |
| blackgraz | so noone here knows how to set ubuntu as a firewall/router | 21:15 |
| timandtom | silent_: Ok. You sure theres not just some way to remove "Tony" from what I automatically connect to? Everywhere else, it connects to the right network, but I accidentally clicked "tony" once, so now... Dx | 21:15 |
| mitchp | black; go to aboutdebian.com...org?...one sec | 21:15 |
| timandtom | silent_: If not, I'll just do it the way you suggested | 21:15 |
| mitchp | http://aboutdebian.com | 21:15 |
| blackgraz | mitchp, i configed shorewall and both my nics | 21:16 |
| mitchp | the firewall script they talk about doesn't work on mine, but the router one does. You can use firestarter to setup a firewall graphically | 21:16 |
| wolfeySI | hello new kernel complains partion is at too high cylinder, previous kernel works | 21:16 |

| mitchp | black; i'm not familiar with shorewall | 21:16 |
| timandtom | silent_: Ok, ill try that | 21:16 |
| silent_ | timandtom: if there is a setting for ssid there you can remove it | 21:16 |
| silent_ | only remove any ssid setting for "Tony" | 21:17 |
| * Matrix starting to love linux Such a challange i would never meet in windows vista | 21:17 | |
| white_eagle | ? | 21:17 |
| silent_ | it probably connects to tony cause it has a stronger signal... if you select to connect to the preferred network it will override it | 21:17 |
| mitchp | matrix; i know the feeling. welcome | 21:17 |
| wolfeySI | Matrix: windows works until it doesnt. linux doesnt work until it does. later is better cause once you set it properly, you dont worry usually | 21:17 |
| timandtom | Silent_: this is all thats in it "auto lo iface lo inet loopback" | 21:17 |
| timandtom | silent_: Tony is a weaker signal. I sit about 10 feet from my router and get 5 bars | 21:18 |
| itsjustme | mute | 21:18 |
| Matrix | Yeah i never NEVER reinstalled anything as many times as linux haha | 21:18 |
| silent_ | timandtom: chose to connect to your own network then go to roaming mode | 21:18 |
| timandtom | silent_: Ok | 21:19 |
| silent_ | timandtom: you don't have your network passworded? tisk tisk | 21:19 |
| mitchp | matrix; it seemed like i was wasting so much time first doing linux, but now I don't really do anything, it just does what i want | 21:19 |
| timandtom | silent_: I DO have it passworded | 21:19 |
| silent_ | timandtom: then roaming wont work for passworded networks until you log into the network | 21:19 |

| train | okay when my screen saver runs it locks up my system | 21:22 |
| wolfeySI | comicinker: and to compile you need -dev packages too | 21:22 |
| train | I think its the braid screensaver thats doing it | 21:22 |
| wolfeySI | not just binary libs | 21:22 |
| mitchp | zitsep; can't you print from the command line? send the output from the man command to the printing command (i've never done it) | 21:22 |

| kaur | I'm having random hard lockupswith gutsy. So far they've occured when the computer has been idle for some time (monitor in standby mode etc...). Can these lockups be related to the fact that nicotine is running? I read somewhere that there's a problem with php clients&network... | 21:23 |
| zitsep | mitchup: how would you do that? | 21:23 |
| timandtom | Matrix: See if its in Synaptic | 21:23 |

| mitchp | zitep; wow, no idea. to be honest, i don't even know where they are | 21:23 |
| teddy233 | i didn't see a reply to my question so i'll post again | 21:24 |
| teddy233 | can i use aliases like eth0:1 eth0:2 for routing ips or MUST I have more than 1 NIC ? | 21:24 |
| comicinker | wolfeySI: I have build-essential installed. also gtk devs and gst devs. my header files are here: locate gst/gst.h: /usr/include/gstreamer-0.10/gst/gst.h | 21:24 |
| mitchp | kaur; i have that problem when i leave totem open overnight (fell asleep, lol) | 21:24 |
| Matrix | <mitchp> Well since im new What Version of Xchat should i download? i have no idea if its Fedora Or source :S | 21:24 |
| Matrix | (I only have 3 version Windows and fedora and source | 21:24 |
| silent_ | timandtom: type "waproamd" in console | 21:25 |
| timandtom | Matrix: go to System>Administration>Synaptic | 21:25 |
| mitchp | Matrix; there should be a debian package. if you can't find it with apt, go to add/remove programs. i didn't compile it, i know that much | 21:25 |
| timandtom | Matrix: And use that to find/install Xchat | 21:25 |
| comicinker | wolfeySI: maybe I lost path information from some "global variable" | 21:25 |
| Matrix | Can i really use syn for that :O COOOL!! | 21:25 |
| jakonj | Does anyone knows where to find Range software FEA program for ubuntu 7.04 | 21:25 |

| kaur | mitchp: I usually don't use totem. It's weird that whatever causes the lockups they're really hard... Even the capslock button doesn't react...(light stays dead). The only way is to manually power off which is not good for the hd | 21:26 |

| mitchp | kaur; i haven't tried the caps lock button, that would be interesting. I know my screen is still on (black. i have a tough time getting power saving to work properly in general) | 21:26 |
| Lycalopex | white_eagle: wget can do this also you can install a download manager or something | 21:26 |
| patrick_ | my school changed it's wireless to wpa security, and has 4 equifax certificates that i need to use to log in, i downlaoded the certificates, but how to i use them? | 21:27 |
| jakonj | @white-eagle: it should continue the donwload anyway! | 21:27 |
| OldSpice | phusion: im back on windows, ubuntu is too hardcore for me. i think i'll research a bit more on everything i need to fun ubuntu smoothly :[. | 21:27 |
| Gssands | Hello I a newbe | 21:27 |
| white_eagle | Lycalopex: in the repos? | 21:27 |
| teddy233 | can i use aliases like eth0:1 eth0:2 for routing ips or MUST I have more than 1 NIC ? | 21:27 |
| sagar | where does gnome store information about icons? for example, if i set a file to have a custom icon, where does it save that information? | 21:27 |
| white_eagle | jakonj: i have to reconect manually | 21:27 |
| Lycalopex | white_eagle: im sure there are a few in repos | 21:27 |
| mitchp | Matrix; there's two different things, there's synaptic which is all the packages themselves, and there's also add/remove programs (in the program[?] menu) which just has the programs themselves, then resolves the dependencies). | 21:27 |
| Lycalopex | white_eagle: prob a plugin too | 21:27 |
| void^ | comicinker: normally you use something like 'pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0' to get the required cflags like include paths for a package (gtk+-2.0 in this case). autoconf is useful to take care of that. | 21:27 |
| mneptok | white_eagle: use a torrent | 21:27 |
| RazzoRz | i have one hard drive that has 104gigs of free space as /dev/sda1 and i have it partitiond with Ubuntu on a 37gig /dev/sda3 How can i make the two partitions into one big drive!! | 21:28 |
| mitchp | Gssands; lol, welcome. any questions? | 21:28 |
| kaur | mitchp: I had problems with it too but then I read that it'd be a good idea to remove the hibernate package as it causes a conflict. I did that and standby/hibernate started to work | 21:28 |
| goodhabit | Hello. My user is capable to share folders with samba only @ home directory. What can I do for share other sources? | 21:28 |
| white_eagle | mneptok: i need to download KDE not kubuntu | 21:28 |
| Matrix | So add/remove programs can also be used to search the internet for programs? (well im use to windows) | 21:28 |
| mitchp | kaur; interesting. the lack of suspend is very annoying on my laptop | 21:28 |
| jakonj | yes but it will save the partial downloaded file in /var/cache/apt/archives/partial! | 21:28 |
| mneptok | white_eagle: installing the -desktop package? | 21:29 |
| mitchp | Matrix; not quite. it searches a database, whcih has a very large amount of programs. you can add or remove databases in the options. ti does it this way so you dont add programs that could be harmful | 21:29 |
| kaur | mitchp: I have a laptop too so I know what you're talking about. Try to remove the hibernate package | 21:29 |
| mitchp | kaur; thanks I'll try that when i get home | 21:29 |
| jakonj | ok since there is not so many cnc programers on linux i need to ask something else: how can i convert 4000 svg icons in one folder (with several subfolders) to png (22px, 32px) in ubuntu? | 21:29 |

| mitchp | matrix; my server got hacked onto, and all i had to do was change my passwords and delete the scripts that were put on there. it wasn't possible to do permanent damage to my core files. however, my server was pry used to hack windows machines :-P | 21:33 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: well, its offtopic but I was addicted to MUDs, which I could only connect to through a linux shell at the time, so my thirst for slaying dragons helped. | 21:33 |

| comicinker | even I include the full path "/usr/include/gstreamer-0.10/gst/gst.h" make cannot resolve the dependend header files (glib.h....) so ther is something broken I think. what could it be? | 21:33 |
| mitchp | matrix; yea the only reason i still have windows is for WoW | 21:33 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: and you'll see, as you learn Ubuntu and *nix in general, you'll start to see its advantages over Windows | 21:33 |

| OldSpice | phusion: i already know that it may be an advantage over windows, however the learning curve isn't that great. i'm not really used to running the terminal as i've always been a windows/mac guy. | 21:35 |

| mitchp | I installed ubuntu with windows already on there and it did it almost automatically | 21:35 |
| matrix_ | and ther is no problem When you uninstall Ubuntu =? :O | 21:35 |
| XVampireX | Does anyone have a good tutorial to get pulseaudio up and running in ubuntu, and some tips on debugging problems? | 21:35 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: well, I'm just a term junkie, you can install things graphically with much ease using that Synaptic Package Manager | 21:35 |
| matrix_ | That dosen't sounds like windows aka bill gates | 21:35 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: its just good to get a feel for the command line, it gives you a better understanding of the internal workings of linux. | 21:36 |
| mitchp | not windows that makes it work, its ubuntu | 21:36 |
| OldSpice | phusion: ah, i never gave that synaptic package manager a try, maybe i'll check it out again. | 21:36 |
| Phusion | jakonj: well, you need to enlighten those around you to the wonders of Linux and OSS :) | 21:36 |
| matrix_ | lol | 21:36 |
| itsjustme | what gets added before the http when updating the repository sites? | 21:36 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: yeah man, it's whicked easy, it will ask for your password, then you just select what you want to install and hit Apply | 21:36 |
| jakonj | belive me i tried... but they just love Windoz games ;) | 21:37 |
| Phusion | OldSpice: don't go removing stuff though, that can cause problems, only uninstall if you installed it in the first place | 21:37 |

| HPM_ | If my home router forwards port 2200 to my desktop on 22 (so 2200 -> 22), is there a way to use that ssh connection to tunnel my web traffic from work in such a way that I can browse my home lan from work (say to connect to my router remotely) ? | 21:40 |

| Viper550 | Yeah, but do you know if there are known issues with the Raedon 7K and the ATI driver? When I originally started it up, it wouldn't go into X (it just turned off the monitor with no signal), until I safe moded to dpkg-reconfigure X (and select Vesa) | 21:41 |

| LycoLoco | hey guys, I just installed ubuntu 7.10 and when I try to boot into it, I get dumped into BusyBox 1.1.3. If I press Alt + F1, I'm taken to a s creen that says "Loading, please wait...". I took the advice of someone on the forums and did aptitude reinstall ubuntu-minimal | 21:53 |
| ReVo-Eirik | OK, here's my question: When I boot with the install CD (everything's OK with it, I've checked) and click install in the startup screen, I don't end up in a graphic installer, but in some DOS-like environment. Could you tell me how to get out of it? | 21:53 |
| hipshooter | uh hi...may I ask about ubuntu help here? | 21:53 |
| LycoLoco | but that didn;'t work either | 21:53 |
| hipshooter | I have a quick question. | 21:53 |
| proprietarysucks | nvidia install says I need to install my distro's libc headers | 21:54 |
| proprietarysucks | whats the package called with libc headers? | 21:54 |
| encompass | hipshooter: shoot from the hip dude | 21:54 |
| _MMA_ | encompass: I saw you post to the ML. You might want to talk to people in #ubuntu-desktop, #ubuntu-devel or maybe #ubuntu-artwork. But it will be damn slow for the next week so it might be best to wait. | 21:54 |

| encompass | _MMA_: I will sure enough :D | 21:54 |
| hipshooter | I just installed ubuntu on an external on another laptop | 21:54 |
| LycoLoco | oh crap, I forgot to chroot the directory | 21:54 |
| talcite | It's been unresponsive for a few days for me, but I haven't seen any news about it going down | 21:54 |
| LycoLoco | brb | 21:54 |
| hipshooter | and i want to use it on my desktop | 21:54 |
| jakonj | ok konichiva people :) | 21:54 |
| hipshooter | but there's no boot loader or whatsoever to launch Ubuntu from the external; the GRUB loader has error | 21:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ReVo-Eirik: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select vesa mode 1204 max res and 16 bits if asked | 21:55 |
| hipshooter | so I'm wondering how to change settings so I could launch ubuntu from whatever computer on a portable hard drive | 21:55 |
| Phusion | hipshooter: probably not the best idea to install to an ext drive | 21:55 |
| hipshooter | oh? | 21:55 |
| Phusion | hipshooter: use the LiveCD | 21:55 |
| Phusion | hipshooter: it has many drivers that are computer specific | 21:55 |
| encompass | hipshooter: you need do a special type of install | 21:55 |
| hipshooter | what kind of special install? | 21:56 |
| ReVo-Eirik | When I try to install, I end up in a text-thing | 21:56 |
| encompass | hipshooter: let me see if I can find something that might help | 21:56 |
| ReVo-Eirik | Could you help me? | 21:56 |
| Phusion | the LiveCD is the best way for a portable ubuntu install, having a USB stick helps for perm config | 21:56 |
| hipshooter | well the thing is I want to use the my external for space | 21:56 |
| hipshooter | it'd be nice to use one central ubuntu between laptops and desktops | 21:56 |

| hipshooter | yeah, what i'm wondering, is it's possible that ubuntu doesn't have drivers for my laptop | 22:01 |
| encompass | hipshooter: what is your graphics card? | 22:01 |
| ReVo-Eirik | I got the CD from the STudent society in norway | 22:01 |

| sn0 | slimjimflim apache.org docs are very good :) | 22:02 |
| hipshooter | VESA is weird, it actually produces graphics but it's of WINDOWS loading screen...it was the only one that didn't display in text | 22:02 |
| sn0 | the ubuntu wiki however has steps for LAMP + SSL | 22:02 |
| encompass | ReVo-Eirik: I thought we were | 22:02 |
| slimjimflim | sn0 is there gutsy-specific info there? | 22:02 |

| Phusion | cuz wifi radar only connects you to an AP | 22:06 |

| rukuartic | Phusion: No, its not that I have a problem, its a bug... | 22:07 |
| Phusion | mrdinkles: if Windows isn't an option at boot, its damaged or gone | 22:07 |
| rukuartic | Phusion: I fixed it by running 'touch /etc/resolv.conf' | 22:07 |
| Phusion | rukuartic: welll, are you sure? have you tried alt dns servers? | 22:07 |
| Phusion | so you created a resolv.conf | 22:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I installed Pidgin 2.0.2 in Feisty... I hope it does not come back to bite me later.... Any others try it...? | 22:08 |
| rukuartic | Phusion: No, its not DNS resolution. When I ran dhclient it spewed out an error message saying /etc/resolv.conf didn't exist, and it couldn't write to it. | 22:08 |

| Slart | CraiZEH: depends.. I don't think there's support for creatives x-fi for example.. what else have you got in the computer? | 22:42 |
| webspiderus | or manual partitioning? because those are the only two options. and if I choose manual, it doesn't seem to let me do anything but create a new partition table | 22:42 |

| eldkraft | montego: system/preferences/appearance/visual effects and choose none | 22:52 |
| rukuartic | FLUxXxX: What do you mean discover? | 22:52 |
| r00723r0 | ikonia, what's the restricted driver package? | 22:52 |
| ikonia | r00723r0: kernel-common is not nvidia | 22:52 |
| r00723r0 | ikonia, nvidia-kernel-common | 22:52 |
| ikonia | r00723r0: what version of ubuntu are youusing | 22:52 |

| eldkraft | confused: you aare using 7.10 right | 22:54 |
| ikonia | r00723r0: as I recall don't you have to reboot to see that module, which is a problem in a livecd | 22:54 |
| confused | yeah 7.10 | 22:54 |
| daniel92 | does anyone know a good place to find out how to set up dual monitors? I want to use the external on my laptop. | 22:54 |

| georgel | hello | 22:54 |
| Flare183 | confused: then run this: compiz --replace | 22:54 |
| ikonia | r00723r0: a good question, as your not running a running kernel that can support those modules | 22:54 |
| eldkraft | confused: system/preferences/appearance/visual effects and choose extra | 22:55 |
| r00723r0 | sweet. | 22:55 |
| confused | do u mean visual effects should be set to extra settings? | 22:55 |
| Slart | ikonia: yes.. I'm into underclocking at the moment.. but yes | 22:55 |
| confused | ok done that | 22:55 |
| confused | how can I run the compiz manager and change the themes? | 22:55 |
| eldkraft | confused: no wobbly windows? | 22:55 |

| eldkraft | confused: so what is your problem? | 22:55 |
| Flare183 | confused: umm run emerald --replace | 22:55 |
| ikonia | georgel: 4d graphics ? | 22:56 |
| georgel | 3D | 22:56 |
| r00723r0 | ikonia, fine | 22:56 |
| r00723r0 | so i'm running with nv now | 22:56 |

| georgel | :D but have 4 desktops | 22:56 |
| r00723r0 | but i'm still getting the no screens found error | 22:56 |
| ikonia | georgel: ubuntu5 doesn't have the 3d graphics effects like ubuntu 7.10 | 22:56 |
| confused | i need 2 install emerald first | 22:56 |
| ikonia | r00723r0: thats a weak driver | 22:56 |
| daniel92 | confused: get compizconfig-settings-manager | 22:56 |
| Flare183 | do that then | 22:56 |
| r00723r0 | ikonia, i know | 22:56 |
| Flare183 | and that too | 22:56 |
| confused | ok hold on | 22:56 |
| Flare183 | k | 22:56 |
| r00723r0 | ahh, just realized | 22:56 |
| r00723r0 | this video card is newer than this nv and nvidia | 22:57 |
| r00723r0 | fuck, guess i gotta use 7.10 | 22:57 |
| mrpur | ikonia, i have to create a shortcut to a java application that is in java control panel => view => nameofapplication | 22:57 |
| r00723r0 | that's weird though | 22:57 |
| daniel92 | that is the advanced desktop effects settings | 22:57 |
| r00723r0 | it should still work | 22:57 |
| ikonia | r00723r0: sorry, the livecd is the limiting factor | 22:57 |

| r00723r0 | sorry | 22:57 |
| ikonia | mrpur: you need to link to "java application" as a shortcut rater the "application" | 22:57 |
| r00723r0 | ikonia, i'll try to use vga | 22:57 |
| TIRC_3338 | salve | 22:57 |

| daniel92 | anyoe know anything about getting multiple monitors to work on a gateway laptop? | 22:58 |
| confused | I made emerald --replace and now no windows borders | 22:59 |
| ikonia | mrpur: your creating a short cut, instead of linking to "your_application" link to "/usr/bin/java your_application" | 22:59 |
| r00723r0 | ikonia, well... it did SOMETHING | 22:59 |
| TIRC_3338 | !lista | 22:59 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lista - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:59 |

| r00723r0 | i don't see my desktop | 22:59 |
| ikonia | r00723r0: vesa is normally slow but solid | 22:59 |
| r00723r0 | this is very odd | 22:59 |
| r00723r0 | the monitor seems to be shut off | 22:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | HIt escape and really see odd | 22:59 |
| Flare183 | ikonia: help confused i got to go | 23:00 |
| georgel | the ubuntu version 7 works on a P4 1700 Mhz with 394 SDRAM???? | 23:00 |
| ikonia | confused: what's up | 23:00 |
| yubwyub | Anyone knows if there is a Amiga-emulator to download to ubuntu? are there any special repository I should enable then somehow? | 23:00 |
| ikonia | Flare183: ok | 23:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | georgel: yes | 23:00 |
| georgel | yes | 23:00 |
| confused | well no windows borders after I runned emerald --replace | 23:00 |
| georgel | oo good | 23:00 |
| ikonia | confused: intel card ? | 23:00 |
| confused | intel card and nvidia fx | 23:00 |
| ikonia | confused: nvidia fx ? | 23:01 |
| confused | yup | 23:01 |
| georgel | I have a FX 5200 | 23:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | georgel: run the livecd and check it out | 23:01 |
| georgel | 128 Mb end Pixel Shading 1 | 23:01 |
| ikonia | confused: this is a common problem with intel video cards, sometimes fixable, others not. | 23:01 |
| georgel | :D | 23:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | georgel: Note: running the live cd will be slower than a hard drive install | 23:01 |
| georgel | it works | 23:01 |
| georgel | '? | 23:01 |
| ikonia | confused: your best bet is to ask in #compiz-fusion for some specialist help. | 23:01 |
| confused | no the motherboard is intel but the video card is nvidia | 23:01 |
| abcd | Do you have any problems with playing broadband movies on websites. I have no problem with playing them on Windows XP with Windows Media Player. When i switch to Ubuntu the same multimedia are buffering every one minute. I use kmplayer with xine (or sometimes mplayer engine). Any advices? | 23:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | georgel: YEs nvidia 5200 will work.. that may be legacy driver but we can find that out | 23:02 |
| ikonia | confused: for the no boarder issue, I strongly suggest asking the specialists in #compiz-fusion | 23:02 |
| confused | ok | 23:02 |
| confused | 1 more question | 23:02 |
| ikonia | confused: some solid guys in there | 23:02 |

| webspiderus | is there a reason why a ubuntu installation wouldn't recognize my current partitions? | 23:03 |
| MacTheMad | can anyone tell me if I'm behind a router do I want to enter the dns addresses from my service provider or do I want to enter the router (gateway) address | 23:03 |
| ruif13 | hi ;) | 23:04 |
| Phusion | MacTheMad: enter it where? | 23:04 |
| thor | MacTheMad your service provider unless your router does dns | 23:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webspiderus: are you running scsi controllers or raid setup | 23:04 |
| ruif13 | anyone have a good themes site for gnome? | 23:04 |
| nope327 | ok so i ihave a question about the broadcom adapter... i have a dell ispiron e1705 with a broadcom BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX wireless card... i can see wireless networks, that i normally connect to, but when i type in the wep key... it can never connect me.... | 23:04 |
| nope327 | anyone have any ideas | 23:04 |
| webspiderus | well, definitely not running a raid setup - i only have one sata 500 gig drive | 23:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gnome-look.org | 23:04 |
| infinital | can someone give me a definitive answer on how to fix this XORG stuff? i ran the recovery console and nothing works there | 23:04 |
| infinital | i tried sudo wget and typed in the XORG url | 23:04 |
| infinital | nothing | 23:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webspiderus: What os is on the system now. | 23:05 |
| webspiderus | Vista | 23:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webspiderus: How many partitions... | 23:05 |
| MacTheMad | thor: no router doesn't do dns as far as I know but when setting up the router I did need to type them there | 23:05 |
| Phusion | infinital: what do you want to do? whats the error? what are you running | 23:05 |
| webspiderus | right now, I have a primary 11.82 GB primary, partition, 420 gig logical partition, 20 gig logical partition, and about 7 gigs of unallocated space | 23:06 |
| webspiderus | i used to have a 20 gig primary, and 420 and 20 gig logical partitions | 23:06 |
| infinital | phusion, i asked my question earlier and was told to go to the recovery console,b ut that didnt work. i installed ubuntu, booted in, installed all drivers and packages that it said i needed, specifically nvidia drivers, rebooted, and now it wont get past this black screen that it gives me | 23:06 |
| infinital | it wont respond to ctrl alt del | 23:06 |
| nope327 | ok so i ihave a question about the broadcom adapter... i have a dell ispiron e1705 with a broadcom BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX wireless card... i can see wireless networks, that i normally connect to, but when i type in the wep key... it can never connect me.... i am running the latest ubuntu (gimpy?) | 23:07 |
| infinital | so i hit the power button and it brings me a whole bunch of prompts it entered, and then it shuts down with some network issue | 23:07 |
| Phusion | infinital: what nvidia hardware? | 23:07 |
| infinital | 7600 gt | 23:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webspiderus: No idea why it isnt seeing them.. live cd gets you to a desktop right? | 23:07 |
| Phusion | hrmm, that should work ok | 23:07 |
| Phusion | not sure infinital :/ | 23:07 |
| webspiderus | i had XP running on the primary partition, and I have vista running on the 20 gig logical partition - but then I took out XP, so the primary partition's empty. I decided to run shrink it so I could get some unallocated space | 23:07 |
| Phusion | not enough info | 23:07 |
| infinital | what else do you need? | 23:07 |
| === nuu is now known as nu | ||
| infinital | i was told it was a xorg error | 23:07 |
| === nu is now known as nuu | ||
| infinital | but i have no idea how to fix that | 23:07 |
| webspiderus | yeah, I get to a desktop (it displays a little weird, but I can get around in it) | 23:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | get to a terminal screen... and type fdisk -l last letter is l | 23:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | L | 23:08 |
| nope327 | ok so i ihave a question about the broadcom adapter... i have a dell ispiron e1705 with a broadcom BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX wireless card... i can see wireless networks, that i normally connect to, but when i type in the wep key... it can never connect me.... | 23:08 |

| Benalex | Hello all, is there a program than can ping a range of ips, and scan for open ports? | 23:21 |
| martyn_ | <nope> OK? | 23:22 |
| nope327 | hey guys so... back with the WLAN thing... i still cant get it going.. it never | 23:22 |
| nope327 | gives me an ip | 23:22 |
| Ray_at_UW | Hi, is there a way to detect what kind of motherboard I have? | 23:22 |
| xipietotec | I accidently deleted part of my ubuntu main menu, how do I reset it? I clicked reverte, but it did not come back | 23:22 |
| dcordes | is there a place in launchpad where I can mourn about laptop machine specific issues? | 23:23 |
| lonejack_ | gogeta, how can I get these "ubuntu-restricted-extras"? Can I by Synaptic? | 23:23 |
| martyn_ | <nope> Are you able to obtain an IP when security is switched off (temporarily - for testing purposes?). | 23:23 |
| jatt | Ray_at_UW: System->Preferences->Hardware Information contains information about the chipset and other parts of the motherboard... | 23:24 |
| nope327 | what do you mean can i get an ip when it is off? when the WLAN card is on, i can see the networks... | 23:24 |
| nope327 | but i cant connect | 23:24 |
| nope327 | i am hardwired right now | 23:24 |
| dcordes | I wonder if support for hardware switchse for wifi and other peripheral is welcome in ubuntu. if so one should add up acer_acpi for acer machines | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nope327: He is asking if you can connect if you turn off wep in your system | 23:25 |
| nope327 | how would i go about doing that | 23:25 |
| nope327 | oh you mean turning off the wep key? | 23:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nope327: I dont have time to start another conversation.. | 23:26 |
| === joe__ is now known as rencore_ | ||
| toni_ | hi, would anybody know where to get that key: quinn.key.asc the links I found wont exist actually. | 23:26 |
| nope327 | alright thanks | 23:26 |
| martyn_ | Jack - yes. I don't profess to know everything about WLAN. But I have got mine working after a while - with WPA. | 23:26 |
| eldkraft | xipoetotec: right click on upper bar, choose 'add to panel' and then scroll down to utilities and and choose the 'menu bar' with the ubuntu logo | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 23:27 |
| martyn_ | <nope> You would need to switch it off at the network router. | 23:27 |
| MacTheMad | can anyone tell me what else I have to edit other than "/etc/network/interfaces" and "/etc/resolv.conf"? to get internet connection working? | 23:27 |
| nope327 | hmmm.... that i do not have access to... | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | martyn_: wep is worthless so he should change it anyhow | 23:27 |
| keithclark | Hi everyone. I currently have a laptop running an ATI card and a Broadcom wireless adapter under PCLinuxOS. I just received my Ubuntu 7.10 CDs and would like to install it as well. Will it pick up on the current drivers, that work, for the video and wireless? | 23:28 |
| Phusion | keith80403: ubuntu 7.10 has a lot of stuff that works out of the box, I have an Acer Aspire 5100 w/ broadcom and ATI gfx | 23:28 |
| nope327 | i have tried it at two different locations with working wep keys (i use them on vista) | 23:28 |
| dessnr | my old laptop has an ati-rage and it runs ubuntu just fine. | 23:28 |
| Phusion | keith80403: the ATI graphics work fine, but I've had issues getting wifi to work, but I dont think its a limitation of the chipset | 23:28 |
| dcordes | Phusion, do you have a switch for wifi? | 23:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | keithclark: it is a live cd.. it runs in ram and will not touch the hd unless you tell it to install. | 23:28 |
| Phusion | dcordes: yes | 23:28 |
| dcordes | Phusion, does it work/is it required in ubuntu? | 23:29 |
| Phusion | it works, I just haven't gotten it to work yet | 23:29 |
| tsukasa_ | hey guys - my ssh server is running *really* slowly.. if i do ls 3 or 4 times quickly in a small directory it will type like 1 character a second | 23:29 |
| nope327 | keith: make sure your connected to the internet during installation... thats what got my graphics working | 23:29 |
| dcordes | Phusion, acer_acpi? | 23:29 |
| tsukasa_ | what can i do the see whats wrong with it? | 23:29 |
| Chase | how can i add my custom SSL cert into the keyring on ubuntu? I need to be able to use it from the shell | 23:29 |
| keithclark | Phusion: I tried the live version, and it did not use drivers for my ATI or Broadcom. This will be corrected when I install? I will hook it up to the net wired when I install. | 23:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webspiderus: Did I miss your response to sudo fdisk -l ? | 23:29 |
| tsukasa_ | i already rebooted the server and the router | 23:30 |
| Phusion | dcordes: I installed that yesterday I think-- it recognizes the wifi card, I just have issue connecting, even with wpasupplicant | 23:30 |
| dessnr | nope327: thats nice to know. perhaps thats why my ati on the old lappy went off without a hitch. | 23:30 |
| Phusion | keith80403: the livecd may not install them, otherwise you may need to go to "Restricted Drivers Manager" and turn them on | 23:30 |
| savageone | hey guys | 23:30 |
| olimpico | Can anybody tell me how to install ubuntu though a shell? | 23:30 |
| martyn_ | Again - only as a temporary measure. If you can obtain an IP from the router with WEP or WPA switched off, then you know the problem is with security and not the connection in general. | 23:30 |
| martyn_ | <nope> What wireless router do you have? | 23:30 |
| === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever | ||
| dcordes | Phusion, if your wifi switch is off you will see the card with iwconfig and also will be able to up it but won't be able to connect. Is that the case? | 23:30 |
| Benalex | Hello all, is there a program than can ping a range of ips, and scan for open ports? | 23:30 |
| Phusion | dcordes: no, its on. | 23:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !install > olimpico | 23:31 |
| nope327 | the one next to me is a linksys | 23:31 |
| dcordes | Phusion, turned on by acer_acpi? | 23:31 |
| Phusion | dcordes: I get ath0 in iwconfig | 23:31 |
| savageone | if I were to apt-get the linux restricted modules, and a different nvidia driver (called legacy) and my machine didn't boot up afterwards anyone know how I could solve it? It starts to boot and sticks at the splash screen. | 23:31 |
| keithclark | Phusion: Ok, I will give it a shot. Ubuntu installs along side another distro with no problems? | 23:31 |
| Phusion | dcordes: no, I installed acer_acpi yesterday, how do I enable it or use it, is it just a module? | 23:31 |
| tsukasa_ | hey guys - my ssh server is running *really* slowly.. if i do ls 3 or 4 times quickly in a small directory it will type like 1 character a second. what can i do to see whats wrong with it? | 23:31 |
| Phusion | keith80403: yes, if you partition correctly. | 23:31 |
| Phusion | keith80403: GRUB should work fine. | 23:31 |
| martyn_ | <Jack> IMHO - I completely agree. No sec vs WEP are not a world apart from someone with a bit of knowledge. Hopefully once he is up and running we can sort out a harder security solution. | 23:31 |
| dcordes | Phusion, where did you get it? I think it should be added up on the cd | 23:31 |
| keithclark | Phusion: Ok, that should be no problem. | 23:32 |
| Phusion | I googled for it | 23:32 |
| keithclark | Phusion: I need to create a / and a /home partitions? | 23:32 |
| liquidfiree | not perse | 23:32 |
| Phusion | dcordes: I have a /etc/modules.acer_acpi | 23:32 |
| liquidfiree | but its better for your documents | 23:32 |
| Tornadochas3r01 | hi | 23:32 |
| liquidfiree | so you can backup in case something goes wrong keithclark | 23:32 |
| liquidfiree | :) | 23:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | martyn_: take care.... | 23:33 |
| Benalex | Hello all, is there a program than can ping a range of ips, and scan for open ports? | 23:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | martyn_: My only point was wep could be keeping him out while at the same time being worthless as a security feature | 23:33 |
| dessnr | all: a friend of mine installed winXP on one harddrive and ubuntu on a second one. he said that grub does not boot. windows does. is it better to have it on one harddrive? thats how i have it and i have had no problems. | 23:33 |
| keithclark | liquidfiree: lol, no worries, this is my experimental machine. If it runs on this laptop, it will have no problems on my other 4 machines! | 23:33 |
| dcordes | Phusion, everything on my aspire 5024 wlmi works ootb except of wifi button. really a pity | 23:33 |
| savageone | what is this addon I'm hearing about w/ crazy visual features, the "vista killer?" | 23:34 |
| liquidfiree | keithclark, allright well the / partition is just the installation partitation the /home is just like my documents kinda thingy on Windows | 23:34 |
| dcordes | Phusion, read acer_acpi-0.10/README | 23:34 |
| liquidfiree | saves your personal settings/ downloads | 23:34 |
| Tornadochas3r01 | hey can someone help me with the apt-get command, install Virtual box and it failed and now i cant remove it or install anthing else this is the error i get : The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. | 23:34 |
| liquidfiree | so its not really required :) | 23:34 |
| daniel92 | savageone: compiz fusion? | 23:34 |
| Phusion | dcordes: where is that? | 23:34 |
| MacTheMad | can anyone tell me any files I need to edit other than "/etc/network/interfaces" and "/etc/resolv.conf" to get to the internet? | 23:34 |
| nope327 | like i said though... and maybe i am just oblivious to what your saying, is that these wireless networks work with any windows computer... or even on leopard | 23:34 |
| keithclark | liquidfiree: Understood. Just like I currently have under pclos | 23:34 |
| Phusion | dcordes: on the ubuntu CD? | 23:34 |

| savageone | daniel: any idea on my video issue? I was having nvidia problems, changed the driver and now I'm screwed | 23:35 |
| Phusion | bah | 23:35 |
| dcordes | Phusion, I don't know if it creates a deb | 23:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | webspiderus: You would show up now.. np... so fdisk did see them... so now run partition editor ... gparted | 23:35 |
| Ax-Ax | anyone play ut? | 23:35 |
| Phusion | dcordes: no, I downloaded a deb | 23:35 |

| ubuntu-user-test | ShastaMcNasty13: with fdisk, maybe from a live cd? | 23:36 |
| Phusion | dcordes: hehe yeah, I'm just saying, I don't have the readme because I have a deb | 23:36 |
| dessnr | Shast: boot your ubunu cd and reinstall, it will format it for you | 23:36 |
| liquidfiree | ShastaMcNasty13, just use gparted :) | 23:36 |
| liquidfiree | or a live cd | 23:36 |
| martyn_ | <nope> You would need to switch security off at router. If you cannot access router directly then you will have to keep working through the WEP key issue. But note what <Jack> says - WEP is not very secure at all and can easily be beaten. | 23:36 |
| martyn_ | <nope> Have you got WiFi Radar running now? It will ask for SUDO password. | 23:36 |
| ShastaMcNasty13 | thank you! | 23:36 |
| daniel92 | khelll: go to add/remove get windows fonts. search it | 23:36 |
| dcordes | Phusion, your deb will most likely consist on a compiled http://aceracpi.googlecode.com/files/acer_acpi-0.10.tar.bz2 or older version. So download that tarball and read the README | 23:36 |

| dcordes | Phusion, my notebook is existing since two years and acer_acpi even longer. I don't think I can hope for a change here. | 23:39 |
| Phusion | ??? | 23:39 |
| dessnr | fesity ran ati for me no problem. bear in mind that it is an old ati card. 8meg. so it has been around long enough to be supported. it works in gutsy as well of course. | 23:39 |
| nope327 | yeah i can see all of them | 23:39 |
| Phusion | dcordes: yeah.... | 23:39 |
| Phusion | dessnr: I'm talking integrated xpress 1100 | 23:40 |
| nope327 | just i cant connect... and i dont have access to open up the network... i just am allowed to use it | 23:40 |

| martyn_ | <nope> Highlight the one you need to connect to. Then click on edit and fill in the boxes - security type WEP, password etc. If you know the router supports it (most do) then choose DHCP - the router will allocate you an IP address. If the router is not your own then it is possible they have all been allocated to other users (they can be limited). | 23:42 |
| Bucketpants | k, thank you. | 23:42 |
| Phusion | dcordes: hrmm cuz its "Enabled" and "In Use" in my restricted manager... | 23:42 |

| webspiderus | Jack_Sparrow: ok, so i ran sudo gparted | 23:43 |
| Slart | MacTheMad: pastebin output of "ifconfig", "cat /etc/resolv.conf" and "route" ... that ought to give us some info | 23:43 |

| dessnr | jack_sparrow: whats the difference between gksudo and sudo? | 23:44 |
| dcordes | Phusion, I have no idea why restricted-manager claims ndiswrapper is in use on your system then | 23:44 |
| webspiderus | Jack_Sparrow: ok, then - thanks. | 23:44 |
| Slart | MacTheMad: no? you can't ping your gateway.. sounds like something is wrong .. can you ping your own ip? | 23:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dessnr: sudo and a gui app can really really mess up your permissions.. | 23:45 |
| Phusion | no, it just says the Atheros driver is in use, I haven't installed ndiswrapper | 23:45 |
| MacTheMad | ubuntu-user-test: not with ubuntu but I can with windows | 23:45 |
| dessnr | Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks for that | 23:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dessnr: np | 23:45 |

| ubuntu-user-test | MacTheMad: like Slart said, pastebin your ifconfig output, /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/route | 23:46 |

| snkmad | anyone else here had problems booting ubuntu after latest kernel header update? | 23:52 |
| grout | its tearin up my heart when im with you but when we are apart i feel it too | 23:52 |
| Syco54645 | dessnr, i have not tried the 32 on my dual core and do not intend to, it is fast on here though. | 23:52 |
| MacTheMad | slart: shouldn't be necessary... I can check it against this machine which is running... config is slightly diff but I should be able to compensate | 23:52 |
| brophat | anyone know how Linksys WMP54G wireless nic works with ubuntu? | 23:53 |
| Slart | MacTheMad: ok.. here's mine anyway.. might as well put it out there | 23:53 |
| Slart | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2894/ | 23:53 |
| dessnr | Syco54645: understood. i have the hardware to run the 64bit version, but are yet to test it, because the 32bot version runs beautiful so far. | 23:53 |
| Slart | MacTheMad: you haven't installed firestarter or anything similar? | 23:54 |
| Syco54645 | dessnr, i suggest making the switch. i have yet to run into something that doesnt work. azureus appears to be broken across the boards | 23:54 |
