| spartacus | Slart, the packaging and integration has been. | 00:54 |
| Spzatt | Slart : didnt work | 00:54 |
| nickrud | oh, nvidia, don't use that. But, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , then restricted-manager and installing the nvidia driver should do it | 00:54 |
| Joe_ | ah okay, i realise there a pain to get working its just im a bit new to linux and cant get them working at all ive tried every tutorial out there and none seem to work | 00:54 |
| MacTheMad | slart: buddy stopped by & has him stumped too (only knows windows tho) and he's saying something about if all the cables on my network are type a and the one on this machine is type b... but again when I just booted same machine to windows I get a connection... same settings?

| Jerr | nickrud: I'm using nvidia driver already | 00:55 |
| Urim | wols: windows is giving error 29: Disk write error just right after i choose winxp in the OS menu choice... it doesn't reach a status bar or something.. just gives this and press any key to continue | 00:55 |
| nickrud | Jerr, does glxinfo | grep direct say yes? | 00:56 |
| Spzatt | yes | 00:56 |
| Slart | MacTheMad: yes.. we've checked the firewall.. we've checked the route table..we've checked ip-nbr etc.. I don't know what else to look at | 00:56 |
| Jerr | nickrud: yes | 00:56 |
| spartacus | warriorforgod, you'll probably need a host with a java vnc client applet, or something | 00:56 |
| Joe_ | yeah i dont really have the money though, i bought a cheap etec wireless usb adapter for my desktop but that didnt work either, i couldnt even find out what chipset was in that | 00:56 |

| MacTheMad | slart: yeah, thanks... gonna call it a night & start again tomorrow... have a good one | 00:57 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Torchwood: great show.. but why did you post the link? | 01:16 |
| Torchwood | Jack_Sparrow: cos 9.0.115 is broken and they've stopped supplying (the working) 9.0.48 | 01:17 |

| Torchwood | shane2peru: don't think so. don't know. maybe one of the plugins | 01:17 |
| musikgoat | shane2peru: have you tried the join chat option in buddies list? | 01:18 |

| Jack_Sparrow | lastelement1: we tend to use k9copy to rip dvd's... You might try in #winehq | 01:19 |
| lastelement1 | jack_sparrow does k9copy work in the same/similar manner? | 01:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lastelement1: yes rip down sized to single layer etc.. | 01:20 |
| shane__ | musikgoat, I don't think that worked. | 01:21 |
| lastelement1 | jack_sparrow does it also burn the disk following the rip or do i need other software? | 01:21 |
| Torchwood | Jack_Sparrow: to uninstall : find /usr/lib/ -name "libflashplayer.so" -delete. it's a hack, but i want working flash so i'm gonna use it. it's just the adobe manual installer. the gutsy .deb simply downloads v115 and unpacks it to the same place | 01:21 |

| Shirakawasuna | what are the chances of using a 2.6.23 kernel in ubuntu without compiling? | 01:36 |
| wols | Shirakawasuna: nil? | 01:36 |
| keithclark | Pelo, says it is not available. | 01:36 |
| nickrud | keithclark, run restricted-manager , enable ati restricted. Then sudo modprobe fglrx . Log out, log in. fglrxinfo , be sure you are using ati driver 8.37.6 . sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl emerald compizconfig-settings-manager , logout , login | 01:36 |
| Pelo | Perff, supergrub is a boot cd but I guess you can try and unpack the image to a usb flash drive if you know how to boot from one | 01:36 |
| Shirakawasuna | darn non-rolling-release distro | 01:36 |
| Pelo | keithclark, you might need to insall opengl support, not quite sure how, try asking in #compiz-fusion | 01:37 |

| gvsa123 | if i download and install unrar from synaptics, it doesn't add an additional program right? it justs adds to ubuntu's default archive manager, the ability to handle rar files? | 01:40 |
| Shirakawasuna | and waiting 4 months doesn't sound so great | 01:40 |
| wols | qwaz: run fetchmail as a daemon | 01:40 |
| Moult | Can somebody help teach me how to install apps (not in add/remove app program) i'm new to ubuntu | 01:40 |
| Pelo | qwaz, no, just a realy cute cunnundrum | 01:40 |
| musikgoat | gvsa123: it installs unrar | 01:40 |
| nickrud | qwaz, add > /dev/null at the end of your cron fetchmail invocation, that will dump it into a bit bucket | 01:40 |
| gvsa123 | Moult: use synaptics | 01:40 |
| qwaz | wols: I would prefer to run it as a cron | 01:40 |
| Perff | wols: hmmm... i guess i have to reboot to check? | 01:40 |
| tretle | hey.... does anyone know why upnp isnt working in rhythmbox? | 01:40 |
| magnetron | Shirakawasuna: there there are a lot of different laptop models out there, and almost everyone implement their "suspend"-feature differently. so a lot of laptop owners are facing the same problem as you. | 01:40 |
| musikgoat | gvsa123: which works with ubuntu's archive manager | 01:40 |
| Perff | or is there any other way? :) | 01:40 |
| wols | qwaz: and usually cron mails if there was an error with the cronjob, not otherwise | 01:41 |
| nickrud | qwaz, if you have an error, you should get a mail telling you | 01:41 |

| gvsa123 | musikgoat: then i can simply right click on a rar file and choose open with archive manager and it'll work just like any other archive | 01:41 |
| ipx_laptop | Is it possible that the latest linux kernel that came in the update manager of ubuntu gutsy gibbon broke my sound drivers? | 01:41 |
| musikgoat | gvsa123: yes | 01:41 |
| wols | snkmad: dpkg -l |grep nvidia | 01:41 |
| nickrud | qwaz, although wols 's advice about running it as a daemon is a better idea | 01:41 |
| magnetron | Shirakawasuna: if you check the ubuntu wiki though, there MAY be info about your model and its linux support | 01:41 |
| Shirakawasuna | magnetron: yes. I remember finding once that it had to do with the 2.6.22 version, but now I can no longer find that page. I belive it specifically affected radeon x200m laptops, but not positive. | 01:42 |

| wols | kyu_flux: iwlist for example | 01:42 |
| snkmad | wols thx | 01:42 |
| Shirakawasuna | magnetron: I think I'm going to try compiling a 2.6.23 kernel first. Will I break a whole lot of things that way, like ndiswrapper and the radeon driver? | 01:42 |
| qwaz | wols: Why is running fetchmail as a daemon a better solution? | 01:42 |

| LycoLoco | hey guys - while I believe that ubuntu is now getting loaded from the bootloader properly, I'm now getting dumped into BusyBox 1.1.3 - anyone have any clue what would cause that? TTY1 just displays "Loading, please wait..." and TTY5 and 8 show BusyBox. | 01:49 |

| Shirakawasuna | is there an easy way to reinstall an old kernel? | 01:50 |
| Pelo | gvsa123, those are all supported natively in ubuntu, stick with tar-gz for your own archiving I suggest seems to be the most common | 01:50 |
| Shirakawasuna | perhaps a repo keeping legacy versions? | 01:50 |
| cowlikk | can anyon in here help me | 01:50 |
| kyu_flux | wols: thanks (I didn't get it to work yet) - it's amazing that I'd have to use smbmount when there's a perfectly good file browser) | 01:50 |
| qwaz | wols: you disagree with my assesment of my own intelligence? or you disagree with sendmail's config making sense? | 01:50 |
| wols | nickrud: if said person uses snedmail without a good reason pretty much narrows it down what he is | 01:50 |
| gvsa123 | musikgoat: oh tar doesn't compress? | 01:50 |
| musikgoat | the tar is just stringing all the files together into one file, then, compressing it is the next step | 01:50 |
| LycoLoco | wols: good to know (seriously) - right now it's using ntldr instead of grub to load, so is there an easy way to get that to work instead of using ntldr? | 01:50 |
| kyu_flux | wols: but thanks for your help, i'll play around with this a little longer | 01:50 |
| Moult | Pelo: what is the use of this package manager? | 01:51 |
| wols | kyu_flux: not saying you can't do ti with the filebrowser | 01:51 |

| gvsa123 | musikgoat: i see... | 01:51 |
| wols | LycoLoco: yes, install it | 01:51 |
| wols | it being grub that is | 01:51 |
| nickrud | wols, me, if I do local transport I use exim. Brain dead configuration (and I'll accept that appellation) | 01:51 |
| LycoLoco | already did | 01:51 |
| musikgoat | gvsa123: the .extention is just an extention... so you will see filename.tar.gz and you will see filename.tgz which are the same | 01:51 |
| wols | qwaz: both | 01:51 |
| qwaz | wols: what makes you think I'm unintelligent? | 01:51 |
| mongo1 | Pelo: :O if they're over your head then theyre certainly over mine ;( hmm maybe someone else can help | 01:51 |

| gvsa123 | Moult: that's where you can find most if not all of the applications you would need in ubuntu | 01:52 |
| LycoLoco | wols: for some reason grub isn't taking priority over ntldr, and for the life of me I can't figure out why that would be | 01:52 |
| qwaz | wols: are you sure unintelligent means what you think it means? | 01:52 |
| kyu_flux | wols: any place you can refer me to to read on how to get it to work with the file browser? | 01:52 |

| LycoLoco | sunogbaga: I've got 3 HDDs, two SATA, one PATA, so I'm not sure which drive to point it to install grub onto, and just went with the default of HD0 | 01:53 |
| ipx_laptop | thx | 01:53 |
| Pelo | ipx_laptop, I get the cause, but the fix should still be the same, start with the basics and go from there, if your say your card is not present you probably have to install it again, no idea how however | 01:53 |
| mongo1 | Pelo: well i tried to download the offline file but it doesn't exist. | 01:53 |
| musikgoat | eric mount -t msdos /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint you could try -t vfat too | 01:53 |
| Perff | wols, I've rebooted, and now I'm screwed. There's just command-line of GRUB, no menu any more, so I can't even edit the options and manually boot. | 01:54 |
| wols | LycoLoco: what happens when you install grub? and how do you install it? | 01:54 |
| qwaz | good to see the old linux attitude is creeping its way into #ubuntu | 01:54 |
| struio | Hello, all time when I enter on my session/machine to do login, I see 'machine.(none)' how can I have only machine name without none? thanks. | 01:54 |
| ipx_laptop | Pelo: ok thx | 01:54 |
| Pelo | Moult, hold on | 01:54 |
| LycoLoco | wols: I'm just letting the ubuntu 7.10 installer do its thing, nothing special | 01:54 |
| wols | Perff: chroot into your system again. | 01:54 |
| sunogbaga | LycoLoco: is grub installed in a different HDD? | 01:54 |
| Perff | wols: if I write root (hd0,9) and then setup (hd0), it works nicely, but next reboot I again get to commandline | 01:54 |
| Pelo | mongo1, hold on | 01:54 |
| Perff | it looks like I don't have menu.lst or something | 01:54 |
| Moult | Pelo: here is the link to the vim download site again http://www.vim.org/download.php | 01:54 |
| sunogbaga | LycoLoco: i mean ubuntu.. is it installed in another hdd? | 01:54 |
| wols | Perff: what did you boot right now? the ubuntu install? | 01:54 |
| nickrud | qwaz, lol, we gotta have some curmudgeons , otherwise it's no fun | 01:54 |
| LycoLoco | sunogbaga: I'm not sure, tbh. I'm not sure what the naming nomenclature of grub is, so I"m not sure if it's on teh same drive as ubuntu or not, | 01:55 |
| eric | sorry guys i got dropped, could you repeat the msdos mount script again? | 01:55 |
| Mokilok | can anyone who has a minute please tell me where i can find my installed programs like Xchat? | 01:55 |
| wols | nickrud: the curmudgeons are the sendmail users. they've been around much longer than us exim and psotfix folks | 01:55 |
| Perff | so i have to chat from my laptop :( | 01:55 |
| musikgoat | eric mount -t msdos /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint you could try -t vfat instead | 01:55 |
| Pelo | Moult, join me in #pelo and wait for me a bit | 01:55 |
| wols | Mokilok: dpkg -L <package name> | grep bin | 01:55 |
| nickrud | Mokilok, in general , dpkg -L <pkgname> | grep /bin will show you the executables | 01:55 |
| ipx_laptop | Pelo: hehe look what i found :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3979768 | 01:55 |
| eric | thank you, ill try that | 01:55 |
| sunogbaga | LycoLoco: try rebooting your box.. each time trying a different hdd | 01:55 |
| wols | Perff: well? | 01:55 |
| Pelo | ipx_laptop, congrats, bit busy atm but good luck with it | 01:56 |
| aolaus | hey how can I download an ogg codec? | 01:56 |
| ipx_laptop | =) | 01:56 |
| serenityUK | eric first make a dir such as /media/mountpoint | 01:56 |
| LycoLoco | sunogbaga: you mean installing it to a different drive each time or booting from a different drive each time? | 01:56 |
| Perff | hey | 01:56 |
| musikgoat | thanks serenityUK | 01:56 |
| sunogbaga | LycoLoco: boot at a different hdd each time you reboot | 01:56 |
| wols | Perff: do you want a menu.lst or not? if so answer my questions | 01:56 |
| Pelo | mongo1, accept the file , I am sending it to you right now | 01:56 |
| eric | I have my mount point set up | 01:56 |
| nickrud | wols, very true. I spend some time on the sendmail lists when I was doing lfs, moved on to postfix lists because I couldn't stand it | 01:56 |
| qwaz | nickrud: anyway, thanks for the /dev/null tip :) | 01:56 |
| LycoLoco | ok, I'll give that a shot, sunogbaga | 01:56 |
| eric | the error I keep getting is as follows | 01:56 |
| mongo1 | Pelo: try again it was ignored | 01:56 |
| wols | sunogbaga: what NIC? | 01:56 |
| eric | wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, | 01:56 |
| eric | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 01:56 |
| eric | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 01:56 |
| eric | dmesg | tail or so | 01:56 |
| wols | !paste | eric | 01:56 |
| ubotu | eric: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 01:56 |
| eric | sorry | 01:57 |
| serenityUK | eric use -t vfat instead | 01:57 |
| sunogbaga | wols: i remember it was 3com when i first plugged it in | 01:57 |
| mongo1 | :( failed | 01:57 |
| musikgoat | eric that sounds like its not fat32 | 01:57 |
| LycoLoco | sunogbaga: thanks for your help, hopefully I'll see ya on the other side : ) | 01:57 |
| wols | sunogbaga: answer my question ins auseful manner please | 01:57 |
| mongo1 | where did you get the file from and i'll go get it | 01:57 |
| LycoLoco | you too wols, thanks! | 01:57 |
| sunogbaga | LycoLoco: np :P | 01:57 |
| eric | fdisk says that it is a fat32 win95 lba | 01:57 |
| eric | vfat doesnt work either | 01:57 |
| sunogbaga | wols: wait, i'll check the nic | 01:57 |
| gvsa123 | the archive manager still says that rar is not supported..... i got unrar free | 01:58 |
| qwaz | wols: dude...relax man...you're not getting paid for this | 01:58 |
| qwaz | wols: have some fun, that's why you're here...I would guess | 01:58 |
| eric | ive tried to mount as NTFS but that doesnt work either. I have the hdd connected to a pci sata card. would that interfere? | 01:58 |
| aolaus | hey | 01:58 |
| wols | eric: not with the filesystem | 01:58 |
| aolaus | neither mplayer or rhythmbox will play ogg | 01:58 |
| aolaus | any thoughts? | 01:58 |
| eric | On the live cd, the system mounts everything fine. | 01:59 |
| JeevesMoss | Jack_Sparrow: are you still here? | 01:59 |
| mackarill | hi guys hope someone can help me, iv just installed 7.10 on my laptop and in visual effects there is no custom option. I'm using a dell inspiron 6000 and it has share intel graphics. | 01:59 |
| shane2peru | aolaus, is your sound muted? | 01:59 |
| aolaus | I have the codec because audacity works | 01:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JeevesMoss: Lurking | 01:59 |
| serenityUK | eric do you use gnome.. you can also mount via icon... goto places->computer and rightclick | 01:59 |
| musikgoat | gvsa123: did you try the nonfree version? | 01:59 |
| aolaus | I'm listening to dire straits on this editing program.. it's ghetto | 01:59 |
| sunogbaga | wols: yah, its 3com. ethernet adapter... i remember ubuntu recognizing it before I restarted | 01:59 |
| JeevesMoss | Jack_Sparrow: ok, sorry, had supper in there | 01:59 |
| nickrud | aolaus, that's very odd, neither use the same codes | 01:59 |
| eric | ok im here | 01:59 |
| aolaus | audacity imported the ogg just fine | 01:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JeevesMoss: np.. I was chatting in another channel... | 01:59 |
| musikgoat | eric you got it? | 01:59 |
| gvsa123 | musikgoat: not yet. this is not normal? | 01:59 |
| nickrud | *codecs | 01:59 |
| eric | hmm | 01:59 |
| underdawg | how do I change my administrator password? | 01:59 |
| underdawg | I'm not seeing it in Site menu | 02:00 |
| eric | what do i need to create? | 02:00 |
| wols | sunogbaga: still not answering my question. it's about as useful if i said I have a realtek NIC | 02:00 |
| shane2peru | aolaus, ok, try shutting all sound programs off, and then try and play them? Sometimes the other sound programs take over the sound card. | 02:00 |
| aolaus | perhaps I don't have the "official" ubuntu codecs | 02:00 |
| musikgoat | gvsa, after i installed it, it worked fine... | 02:00 |
| underdawg | whoops | 02:00 |
| aolaus | oy, ok | 02:00 |
| l21logan99 | wols: i am the guy trying to get wireless working. I did what the wiki you showed me told me to do, but i can get the firmware files to "make installfw" | 02:00 |
| underdawg | wrong channel | 02:00 |
| Perff | wols: yep | 02:00 |
| JeevesMoss | Jack_Sparrow: do you have time to help me figure this Mcencoder thing? | 02:00 |
| aolaus | hoy, that worked | 02:00 |
| aolaus | thanks | 02:00 |
| eric | im in the computer, i right click, then what do i need to do? | 02:00 |
| aolaus | laters | 02:00 |
| gvsa123 | musikgoat: oh there.... i needed the nonfree... hmmm... i wonder why | 02:00 |
| musikgoat | gvsa123: try just installing unrar not unrar-free | 02:00 |
| serenityUK | eric there should be mount volume in the menu.. it will ask for password | 02:00 |
| Perff | wols: so, I try to boot my linux desktop | 02:01 |
| Perff | wols: and it boots into grub commandline | 02:01 |
| wols | Perff: either you give me the answer I asked you for, or you have to fix your problem on your own | 02:01 |
| aeGIs | jackster: You are too cool. | 02:01 |
| wols | what ahve you booted right NOW? | 02:01 |
| musikgoat | gvsa123: I'm not too sure why | 02:01 |
| jackster | aeGIs: why thankyou :) | 02:01 |
| gvsa123 | musikgoat: oh well... whichever works... :) | 02:01 |
| aeGIs | jackster: no problem | 02:01 |
| sunogbaga | wols: not really sure what youre saying.. however lspic gave me this Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 24)... but doesn't show up in network manager | 02:01 |
| nickrud | Perff, translated, that means he can't help you unless he gets useful information :) | 02:01 |
| aeGIs | Can anyone tell me how to make Ubuntu better? | 02:01 |
| eric | i dont see an option to mount a drive when i right click in the window for computer... | 02:02 |
| serenityUK | eric are you right clicking on the drive icon? | 02:02 |
| jackster | aeGIs: take a time machine into the future? | 02:02 |
| nickrud | aeGIs, join your area's locale team, work on the wiki, work with the doc team, become a master of the universe | 02:02 |
| Perff | wols: and i don't know how to boot manually - all my plays with kernel command finish with kernel panic | 02:02 |
| Perff | wols? | 02:02 |
| eric | oh, for the sdb1? it isnt showing up | 02:02 |
| jackster | meh, I still say go to the future | 02:02 |
| magnetron | aeGIs: are you saying you would like to contribute? | 02:02 |
| jackster | it's like the song, things can only get better :) | 02:02 |
| aeGIs | jackster: is there a deb for that? apt-get ubuntu-time-machine | 02:02 |
| aeGIs | magnetron: No | 02:03 |
| eric | doesnt show an icon in the computer - file browser at all | 02:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JeevesMoss: ON the phone atm... that should not be hard.. wols or maybe pelo if you can catch him | 02:03 |
| aeGIs | I want the windows to stop being unresponsive when I open more than 4 | 02:03 |
| JeevesMoss | Jack_Sparrow: ok, I'm going over to the coffee shop again | 02:03 |
| wols_ | sunogbaga: 3c59x should be it | 02:03 |
| wols_ | Perff: I asked you how you booted right now. either you tell me or fix your stuff yourself. good day | 02:03 |

| troythetechguy | I'm running 7.10 on hp pavilion ze4125. Computer is running slow, and I was advised to 'killall powernowd', but the command responds with, 'no process killed'. I ran ps -aux, and the only result is 'gnome-power-manager. Any ideas? | 02:09 |
| bmt2 | Flannel: can i apt-get install build-essentials ? | 02:09 |

| Flannel | bmt2: apt-get install build-essential, yes. no "s" on the end | 02:09 |
| h-town | ok i understand, i was worried that ext3 was like number 3 drive and they would merge | 02:09 |
| wols_ | Perff: use it | 02:09 |
| Perff | wols: livecd CAN'T boot my hard drive linux | 02:09 |
| Perff | wols: and? | 02:09 |
| musikgoat | h-town: no, that wont happen | 02:09 |
| wols_ | Perff: it doesn't need ot. you have a linux, it can mount the harddisk, it can chroot into it | 02:09 |
| h-town | great, well i'm going to go for it... | 02:09 |

| bmt2 | okay Flannel i am doing that now..thanks | 02:10 |
| bmt2 | you seed that it gives me gcc...but what about gtk ? | 02:10 |

| bmt2 | wols_: how do i apt-get install gtk 2.0 ? | 02:10 |
| Perff | wols: what is "chroot"? | 02:10 |

| eric | shows both vfat and msdos | 02:11 |
| eric | and my fdisk -l | 02:11 |
| wols_ | Perff: instead of running the grub-install in those howtos to install grub after you chrooted, simply run sudo update-grub and you have a menu.lst | 02:11 |
| Perff | wols i read all these docs, and i don't need windows | 02:11 |
| Perff | wols ok it looks like i need to find out what is chroot | 02:11 |
| wols_ | Perff: but you need a menu.lst | 02:11 |
| wols_ | chroot is a command | 02:12 |

| nickrud | RenatoSilva, not required to backup home, but it's as good a time as any | 02:12 |
| |rat| | bmt2: is sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 | 02:12 |
| RenatoSilva | wols_: I'm in a dialed conn | 02:12 |
| wols_ | h-town: you don't. you resize the ext3 partition to encompass the unallocated space | 02:13 |
| chickenFuego | eric, did you try without the -t option? | 02:13 |
| h-town | ah, ok thanks | 02:13 |
| eric | no i didnt. ill try that now | 02:13 |
| wols_ | RenatoSilva: you can upgrade witht he CD too | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RenatoSilva: That is gonna take awhile.. | 02:13 |
| l21logan99 | wols:???? | 02:13 |
| wols_ | Jack_Sparrow: only if he has a 1x CD drive | 02:13 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: so I create a user with the same name and restore the /home/myuser and everything will work fine? | 02:13 |
| eric | that just gives me a lot of options | 02:13 |
| wols_ | l21logan99: either you show us the errors you get or you fix your own problems. your choice | 02:13 |
| h-town | so if i resize it all the way it won't affect my original ubuntu partition? like in the window that pops up with a slider? | 02:13 |
| eric | if i dont include the -t | 02:13 |
| wols_ | RenatoSilva: that is bass ackwards | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wols_: No.. if he tries to upgrade with dialup | 02:14 |
| musikgoat | eric mount /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint | 02:14 |
| h-town | the slider represents all my free space? or all my total hard drive? | 02:14 |
| nickrud | RenatoSilva, yes. If you're reinstalling completely , you should consider making a /home partition. | 02:14 |
| RenatoSilva | wols_: upgrade from cd? it's a new feature of gutsy don't? | 02:14 |
| wols_ | h-town: it shouldn't affect, but if you haven't backed up your stuff it's not important anyways | 02:14 |
| wols_ | RenatoSilva: no it's not a new feature. it always wa there. always | 02:15 |
| eric | it tells me i must specifiy the file system type | 02:15 |
| chickenFuego | eric: try "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/windows" | 02:15 |
| musikgoat | eric, oh well, worth a shot | 02:15 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: not necessary, I have just one user, is it possible to create a different user, restore and rename the profile? | 02:15 |
| l21logan99 | wols: i get the error No rule to make target `installfw' | 02:15 |
| * nickrud doesn't really trust the upgrade path anymore :( | 02:15 | |
| h-town | well so far so good, thanks for the help guys | 02:15 |
| chickenFuego | eric: or "mount -t fat32 /dev/sdb1 /media/windows" | 02:15 |
| wols_ | l21logan99: what howto do you use? | 02:15 |
| chickenFuego | eric: or "mount -t FAT32 /dev/sdb1 /media/windows" | 02:15 |
| gvsa123 | is there a way for ubuntu to tell you when you have minimized windows in other desktops when you are logging out or shutting down or whatever | 02:16 |
| wols_ | chickenFuego: it would be -t vfat. which he already tried | 02:16 |
| l21logan99 | wols: it says in the bcm43xx readme that i extract the files then i use "make installfw" to properlly place them for use by the driver | 02:16 |
| eric | it says maybe i ment vfat | 02:16 |
| RenatoSilva | wols_: that's funny because I never have noticed it tough desiring it so much. It happens when analysing the partitions right? | 02:16 |
| wols_ | eric: dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=bootsector count=1 bs=512 | 02:16 |
| nickrud | RenatoSilva, yes, you'll have to chown the files & dirs in your home, but easily doable | 02:16 |
| wols_ | eric: then show us the result | 02:16 |
| l21logan99 | wols:and i get that error | 02:16 |
| wols_ | RenatoSilva: no | 02:16 |
| chickenFuego | please paste the output of "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/windows", It shouldn t give options as output.. | 02:16 |
| serenityUK | eric try the eqivilent of scandisk.... sudo fsck /dev/sdb1 | 02:17 |

| ubotu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 02:17 |
| wols_ | RenatoSilva: you do not boot from the CD ever when upgrading | 02:17 |
| aeGIs | don't be a hater | 02:17 |
| nickrud | !upgrade | RenatoSilva | 02:17 |
| ubotu | RenatoSilva: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 02:17 |
| wols_ | RenatoSilva: you ad the CD to your sources.list and do a apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade. that's all | 02:17 |
| musikgoat | chickenFuego: he used no t but still added the filesystem the first time, then corrected it | 02:17 |
| aeGIs | !stop unresponsive windows | 02:17 |
| RenatoSilva | wols_: hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm | 02:17 |
| gnychis | I added myself to the "sudo" group, however when I type "sudo ______" it does nothing, it does not return me a password prompt or anything | 02:18 |
| eric | wols - permission denied | 02:18 |
| wols_ | RenatoSilva: and that's supposed to tell me what? | 02:18 |
| l21logan99 | ubotu: if you are speaking to me then i have already checked there and there is nothing about the problems i am having | 02:18 |
| wols_ | eric: use sudo then | 02:18 |
| nickrud | gnychis, ________ isn't a command ;) | 02:18 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: hummm, what about if the backup was in a NTFS partition? | 02:18 |
| Perff | wols: | 02:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubotu is a bot | 02:18 |
| ubotu | Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information. | 02:18 |
| aeGIs | gynch: you have to put a command in | 02:18 |
| aeGIs | ubotu is a bot? | 02:18 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 02:18 |
| nickrud | RenatoSilva, I beleive you'd need to copy it over to an ext2/3 or other linux partition | 02:19 |
| Perff | wols: ok now grub has a menu, but when I select any item it says "can't mount selected partition" | 02:19 |
| aeGIs | Oh, I didn't know ubotu is a bot | 02:19 |
| musikgoat | lol | 02:19 |
| RenatoSilva | wols_: hum means hum | 02:19 |
| l21logan99 | wols: it says in the bcm43xx readme that i extract the files then i use "make installfw" to properlly place them for use by the driver | 02:19 |
| gvsa123 | aeGIs: cool | 02:19 |
| wols_ | RenatoSilva: if you want a backup, make a tarfile of what you want ot backup. you can put this easily on a ntfs drive without any problems | 02:19 |
| chickenFuego | eric - as far as I know, the vfat linux kernel driver can read/write fat16, but only read fat32. | 02:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | l21logan99: Did you use fwcutter? | 02:19 |
| wols_ | RenatoSilva: have a nice day and learn to speak properly. good bye | 02:19 |
| aeGIs | ntfs! | 02:19 |
| musikgoat | chickenFuego: i'm not sure if that is correct | 02:19 |
| l21logan99 | Jack_Sparrow: yes | 02:20 |
| wols_ | chickenFuego: not true | 02:20 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: otherwise what'd happen? | 02:20 |
| wols_ | musikgoat: it isn't | 02:20 |
| musikgoat | vfat writes fine to fat32 | 02:20 |
| musikgoat | ok | 02:20 |

| serenityUK | i use fat32 r/w | 02:20 |
| RenatoSilva | wols_: you too | 02:20 |
| nickrud | RenatoSilva, tarring is excellent advice , it stands for tape archive. Standard procedure for backups | 02:20 |
| gnychis | I added myself to the "sudo" group, however when I type "sudo ______" it does nothing, it does not return me a password prompt or anything | 02:20 |
| l21logan99 | Jack_Sparrow make installfw | 02:20 |
| eric | there is the paste for both wols and serenities scripts | 02:20 |
| l21logan99 | i get No rule to make target `installfw' | 02:21 |
| RenatoSilva | wols_: have some sex, you need it I guess | 02:21 |
| neep2h | i need help on setting up wireless connection from laptop to router so i can get on teh interwebs :( can someone plz help me? | 02:21 |
| wols_ | eric: can you put up the bootsector file somewhere | 02:21 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: good idea that of TAR | 02:21 |
| Perff | <Perff> wols: ok now grub has a menu, but when I select any item it says "can't mount selected partition" | 02:21 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: but i'm curious about what would happen | 02:21 |
| musikgoat | eric, fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1 ? | 02:21 |
| wols_ | Perff: pastebin your menu.lst and your fdisk -l output | 02:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | l21logan99: Where are you getting the request to make installfw? | 02:22 |
| KyleS | I'm having a weird issue | 02:22 |
| Perff | wols: and if I fix the script (it for somewhat stupid reason set "root (hd0,0)", it kernelpanics | 02:22 |
| KyleS | The following partially installed packages will be configured: | 02:22 |
| KyleS | linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic | 02:22 |
| l21logan99 | in terminal | 02:22 |
| KyleS | And it's failing | 02:22 |
| wols_ | musikgoat: since it's no vfat or not recognized as such it will eithernot work or destroy data | 02:22 |
| eric | boot sector should be in the same paste | 02:22 |
| eric | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49102/ | 02:22 |

| musikgoat | eric, thats just the dd command | 02:23 |
| eric | musikgoat, i dont know what that means either | 02:23 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: my backup is already as a folder on a NTFS filesystem, I guess restoring it would let the owner as root:root or maybe the current user... | 02:23 |
| musikgoat | eric cat bootsector | 02:23 |
| l21logan99 | but i got a Restricted Drivers not needed error, so i have to manualy install the firmware in terminal | 02:23 |

| gvsa123 | what's the command to see the devices connected if you forgot the /dev/xxx so you can mount for example. | 02:26 |

| gvsa123 | serenityUK: lsusb!... i remembered now... | 02:30 |
| chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, can you paste your compilation errors msg? | 02:30 |

| baudolino | hey all - I've somehow borked my ubuntu installation which now boots to a text console login rather than into X, anyone have any ideas of settings that I may have somehow screwed up that could cause this to happen? | 02:30 |
| wols_ | l21logan99: what firmware binary did you get from the extraction? and where did you copy it? | 02:30 |
| baudolino | if I log in and startx all is fine, X just doesn't start at boot | 02:31 |
| wols_ | baudolino: your xorg settings | 02:31 |
| gvsa123 | serenityUK: yeah... i just couldn't remember... should have a notebook for this.... | 02:31 |
| wols_ | baudolino: that is the S99gdm symlink | 02:31 |
| l21logan99 | wols: i used wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o which was on my home desktop | 02:31 |
| eric | and how do i copy and paste this stuff? | 02:31 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: regarding this I've noticed that always when updating package list it shows me an alert about unauthenticated sources | 02:31 |
| l21logan99 | wols: i got it cia a link on the wiki | 02:31 |
| nickrud | baudolino, if you run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm at the console, do you get the graphical login screen? | 02:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | l21logan99: or just wl_apsta_o | 02:31 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: I'll verify it later | 02:31 |
| wols_ | l21logan99: was that file created by the extraction? | 02:31 |
| chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, some missing libraries? paste it here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ | 02:31 |
| serenityUK | gvsa123: use -v for verbose... yes I use google notebook to write these down.. can acess form any pc with a browser lol | 02:31 |
| l21logan99 | wols:no | 02:31 |
| musikgoat | eric, i'm trying to see if i can get any output, wols_ do you have experience with ht? | 02:31 |
| nickrud | RenatoSilva, yeah, that's the error I'm talking about. | 02:31 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: thank you very much for everything | 02:31 |
| wols_ | l21logan99: what file DID you get from extraction? | 02:31 |
| Arsenic | How can know which CPAN mirror i'm getting my perl packages from? | 02:31 |
| gvsa123 | serenityUK: so is there a command to list down all commands? | 02:32 |
| nickrud | RenatoSilva, and that is _upgrading_ , not updating. Two different actions | 02:32 |
| eric | im very new to this whole linux thing so im just trying to understand exactly what i need to do. | 02:32 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: do you know the download size for an upgrade? | 02:32 |
| l21logan99 | wols: a variety of bcm43xx*.fw files in the .tmp folder | 02:32 |
| finchx6 | will someone please help me get my sound working in gutsy? | 02:32 |
| h-town | resizing a partition sure take a long time | 02:32 |
| wols_ | l21logan99: you need to copy one of them to /lib/firmware. possibly all of them | 02:32 |
| nickrud | RenatoSilva, depends on how much stuff you installed from the net. could be as little as 700mb , or more than 2 | 02:32 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: yeah, i've *updated* feisty before trying to *upgrade* to gutsy | 02:33 |
| serenityUK | gvsa123: there are too many.. try info xxx if looking for something... . also sudo lshw is big list of all dectected hardware.. even memory etc | 02:33 |
| musikgoat | eric, i've never read a bootsector before, so i'm trying along with you, but i don't know the syntax for ht | 02:33 |
| eric | got it | 02:33 |
| wundaboy | this is what i get when i try to upgrade: http://pastebin.ca/826261 | 02:33 |
| wundaboy | how do i fix it? | 02:33 |
| nickrud | RenatoSilva, and you got authentication errors? Reminds me, you should disable any non-ubuntu repos before you upgrade | 02:33 |
| troythetechguy | I'm running 7.10 on hp pavilion ze4125. Computer is running slow, and I was advised to 'killall powernowd', but the command responds with, 'no process killed'. I ran ps -aux | grep, and the only result is 'gnome-power-manager. Any ideas? | 02:33 |
| baudolino | nickrud, it would be kdm i guess since im trying to fire up kde at this stage but kk I'll give that a shot, ty :) | 02:33 |
| wols_ | eric: pastebin the output of hte now | 02:33 |
| serenityUK | gvsa123: sudo lshw is the daddy | 02:33 |
| l21logan99 | wols: i did copy them all but it didnt work, the README said it needs to be in FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR | 02:34 |
| eric | how do i copy the output? | 02:34 |
| l21logan99 | inlib/firmware | 02:34 |
| serenityUK | gvsa123: (list hardware) | 02:34 |
| gvsa123 | serenityUK: i see.... i'd better go google for basic linux commands.... any manual you might want to recommend... will try those out | 02:34 |
| eric | its in some wierd window | 02:34 |
| baudolino | wols_, there is a s99kdm symlink, its pointing to /etc/init.d/kdm like I'm guessing its meant to | 02:34 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: al least a CD-like? Well, it's a bad idea trying to do it on dialed connection rs | 02:34 |
| l21logan99 | wols: "After extraction, run make installfw which will copy bcm43xx_*.fw to | 02:34 |
| l21logan99 | FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR (which defaults to /lib/firmware) for | 02:34 |
| l21logan99 | usage by the bcm43xx driver. " | 02:34 |
| l21logan99 | After extraction, run make installfw which will copy bcm43xx_*.fw to | 02:34 |
| l21logan99 | FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR (which defaults to /lib/firmware) for | 02:34 |
| l21logan99 | usage by the bcm43xx driver. An alternative way is using the -w option. | 02:34 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: hummmmmmm :) | 02:34 |
| wols_ | l21logan99: yes in /lib/firmware. then you modprobe -r your bcm43xx and modprobe it again to load it. then you should have an interface for it which you can configure | 02:34 |
| nickrud | RenatoSilva, oh, yes you are absolutely correct. Unless you're willing to let it run all night for a a while :) | 02:34 |
| bascule | gvsa123: linuxcommand.org | 02:34 |
| gvsa123 | bascule: thanks. | 02:35 |
| wols_ | l21logan99: do NOT paste in here! | 02:35 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: in fact I think there is non-ubuntu repos...I'll try it next year, thank you!!! | 02:35 |
| l21logan99 | wols: so how do i mobprobe | 02:35 |
| nickrud | l21logan99, did you run that as sudo make installfw ? | 02:35 |
| wols_ | l21logan99: modprobe | 02:35 |
| l21logan99 | nickrud: yes | 02:35 |
| nickrud | bummer, thought I had fought thru the thicket | 02:36 |
| gvsa123 | serenityUK: i like this... lshw.... lol | 02:36 |
| RenatoSilva | nickrud: a night is not enough, maybe a month rs... | 02:36 |
| aeGIs | Would you like an apple pie with that? Ding fries are done.... | 02:36 |
| l21logan99 | wols: yes, but you said to mobprobe -r your bcm43xx, what did you mean by "your bcm43xx" | 02:36 |
| DIL | how can i tell which version of Ubuntu is installed on a computer? | 02:36 |
| NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: sorry that took so long: http://pastebin.ca/826268 | 02:37 |
| wols_ | I said modprobe. read more carefully. your bcm43xx which is currently loaded but won't work | 02:37 |
| nickrud | DIL, lsb_release -a in a terminal | 02:37 |
| eric | hmm... it is telling me it cant load the configuration file and then it says it is loading a default | 02:37 |

| DIL | ty | 02:37 |
| serenityUK | gvsa123: sorry i looked through my bookmarks cant find the cheatsheet... there are tutorials I just lost them lol... I use www.ubuntuforums.org for most things | 02:37 |
| musikgoat | Jack_Sparrow: thanks | 02:37 |
| eric | ive already said that i dont know how to copy the hte much less get an output from it. all i see is a blue and green screen with a bunch of 0's | 02:38 |
| l21logan99 | wols: so i would type bcm43xx-fwcutter modprobe | 02:38 |
| nickrud | baudolino, sudo update-alternatives --config kdm should allow you to set it as the default | 02:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | musikgoat: Have you copied it to a file yet with dd | 02:38 |

| baudolino | nickrud, --config kdm doesn't have alternatives, I thought I remembered there being a setting x-display-manager but update-alternatives doesn't seem to want to play ball with that, all I can find related to X are x-session-manager (currently set to startkde) and x-window-manager (set to kwin) | 02:41 |
| NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego / nickrud :: the lsb-build-desktop3 is required too, it's rather large for this use alone | 02:41 |
| chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, the first header file missing is: qapplication.h, just paste this filename in packages.ubuntu.com, under "Search the contents of packages" (second form) and you will see the corresponding package. | 02:41 |

| wols_ | baudolino: what IS the default display manager? | 02:44 |

| NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: I'm on Gutsy | 02:44 |
| NotSoGutsy | hence my rather clever name | 02:44 |
| gvsa123 | ?? | 02:44 |
| baudolino | nickrud, /etc/X11/default-display-manager claims /usr/sbin/kdm is | 02:44 |
| wols_ | baudolino: some VoIP program mainly for games. clan talk for example | 02:44 |
| baudolino | not sure if there would be another setting elsewhere overriding that? | 02:44 |
| chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, it might work with qt4, try "sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev" and compile again. paste the errors if any. | 02:44 |

| l21logan99 | wols: i will try that and be back if it does not work | 02:45 |
| wols_ | mrdinkles: install the OS and decide which OS has the booatloader. if it's ubuntu, add the other OS to menu.lst. you ahve to do it manually | 02:45 |
| bazhang | recoy: take a look at the site; do they have a faq or setup instructions? | 02:45 |
| recoy | bazhang: they are old | 02:45 |
| baudolino | wols_, nah, it just gives me that line about not being the default display manager so it wont start | 02:45 |
| baudolino | nickrud, kk | 02:45 |
| wols_ | Perff: which of your partitions is the linux / one? which one has your /boot? | 02:45 |

| bazhang | recoy: what is the purpose of the package? | 02:46 |
| eric | oh well, alright, have a good night everyone | 02:46 |
| wols_ | recoy: either you tell us the problem more precisely or I doubt anyone will or can help you | 02:46 |
| wols_ | eric: where is the paste? | 02:46 |
| chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, your make wants qt3: "-I/usr/share/qt3/include" | 02:46 |
| wols_ | baudolino: to talk with friends | 02:46 |
| recoy | bazhang: its a program like ventrilo but free and for linux | 02:46 |
| harushimo | does totem read dvds | 02:47 |
| eric | ive told you several times that i cant copy the information. | 02:47 |
| baudolino | nickrud, hmm...well, it gave me a choice between gdm and kdm, went with kdm and tried again but same thing about not the default-display-manager >< | 02:47 |
| mrdinkles | wols_: how though, your talking to newcomers-- Ubuntu has the bootloader, i think its grub-- should i start out on Ubuntu or using the live ubuntu cd or the other OS? | 02:47 |
| Perff_last | hi all | 02:47 |
| Perff_last | wols | 02:47 |
| Perff_last | wols_, did you receive my pastebins? | 02:47 |
| bazhang | recoy: no clue what that means | 02:47 |
| wols_ | Perff: which of your partitions is the linux / one? which one has your /boot? | 02:47 |
| recoy | wols_: the problem is it wants me to input a ip address for my "own server" and i dont know how or where to get my ip | 02:47 |
| chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, is thee a "configure" script available for your program? | 02:47 |
| wols_ | Perff: I asked you tons of things and you never answered | 02:47 |
| musikgoat | eric, i'm going to capture a screenshot, and have you compare it | 02:47 |
| Perff_last | wols_: all on /dev/sda10 | 02:47 |
| NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: no there is not | 02:47 |
| eric | alright, thanks musikgoat | 02:47 |
| Perff_last | wols_: and while i run update-grub it said "Cannot determine root device. Assuming /dev/hda1 | 02:47 |
| Perff_last | " | 02:47 |
| kjm | does ubuntu have better HFS or UFS support? | 02:47 |
| chickenFuego | well, the package libqt3-headers should do the trick. | 02:47 |
| baudolino | nickrud, im thinking there'd have to be a setting somewhere that supersedes /etc/X11/default-display-manager | 02:47 |
| nickrud | baudolino, that's a bug then. Search bugs.ubuntu.com for bugs filed against kdm , file one if you can't find it | 02:47 |
| wols_ | Perff_last: then change the groot line in your mneu.kst to (hd0,9) and run update-grub again | 02:47 |
| orkun | hey there. when i use ndiswrapper i can connect to my only wpa2 network. i cannot connect to wep networks(it just asks me again for enryption). when i try to connect to my only wpa1 router, it kills it for 1-2 minutes(every client loses internet connection). using native drivers(rtl8187b-modified) ONLY wep works - but the driver is really buggy. connectivity etc. is not shown. using ndiswrapper i CAN connect to wep networks using iwconfig withou | 02:48 |
| orkun | t ANY problems. how come networkmanager cant handle it? using wicd does not help either, as it does neither work with "wepkey" nor with wepkey entered. how come there are noooooo tools available on this purpose? i mean, don't they have to simply follow 3 to 4 command-line commands? instead people get confused having to choose between 10 kinds of encryptions hex/ascii etc. i miss the way mac does it by simply asking to enter the protection key, a | 02:48 |
| chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, look at this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=qapplication.h&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=gutsy&arch=i386 | 02:48 |
| wols_ | Perff_last: menu.lst rather | 02:48 |
| mrdinkles | wols_: also, when i put in the other OS and run the installation, it only shows hd1 to install on-- I dont want it to overwrite ubuntu | 02:48 |
| orkun | s routers cannot have both wpa and wep activated. why should the user bother? any solutions to get nm to work with wep encrypted networks. i see some people having that problem. any alternatives to nm? somewhere i read, nm should be used with wext only. best regards and i appreciate your help! | 02:48 |
| kjm | orkun - learn how to be concise | 02:48 |
| wols_ | mrdinkles: that's not our problem but the other OS' problem. ask their support | 02:48 |
| baudolino | nickrud, lol just got it | 02:48 |
| recoy | bazhang: can u tell me how to find my ip cuz im a newbie lol | 02:48 |

| eric | looking now | 02:49 |

| wols_ | recoy: ifconfig. won't be the right one if you are behind a router. use http://whatismyip.org then. or wimply do a /whois recoy | 02:49 |
| kjm | RenatoSilba = messages from what/who/where? | 02:49 |
| eric | No, my bootsector is completely blank | 02:49 |
| mrdinkles | wols_: fine, but how can i make a separate partition on ubuntu, that the other os can install on? | 02:49 |
| baudolino | nickrud, and when i changed the default-display-manager file to /usr/bin/kdm its now fine | 02:49 |
| nickrud | baudolino, yup, that is a bug alright. | 02:49 |
| baudolino | nickrud, just wish I knew what triggered it heh | 02:49 |
| wols_ | mrdinkles: with gparted or cfdisk | 02:49 |
| ianq | does anyone know how i can restore the privilege table in mysql on ubuntu? | 02:49 |
| musikgoat | eric, ok this is what a fat32 bootsector should look like | 02:49 |
| chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, and edit the MakeFile and replace "/usr/share/qt3/include" with "/usr/include/qt3/" | 02:49 |
| recoy | wols_: alright ill try it | 02:50 |
| wols_ | eric: consisting of zeros? | 02:50 |
| mrdinkles | wols_: using gparted-- do i need to be unmounted to make a partition? | 02:50 |
| eric | yes wols | 02:50 |
| kjm | trying to share a external drive between OS X and Ubuntu - HFS support in ubuntu is lacking - how is UFS support for read/write? | 02:50 |
| wols_ | eric: then the sdb1 is most likely not formatted | 02:50 |
| mrdinkles | wols_: if its unmounted-- should i use the ubuntu cd, install gparted then unmount ?? | 02:50 |
| eric | i have files on it... thats really wierd | 02:50 |
| musikgoat | why would fdisk see it? | 02:50 |
| baudolino | nickrud, thanks a bunch for the help :) | 02:50 |
| Perff_last | wols_: i changed groot to hd(0,9), uncommented, rerun update-grub - but it reset everything (same menu.lst, and groot back to hd(0,0)) | 02:50 |
| baudolino | wols_, and you ty as well :) | 02:50 |
| NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: I installed that lsb-build-desktop3 package, and it seems to be compiling now | 02:50 |
| musikgoat | eric, do you have another computer? | 02:50 |
| nickrud | baudolino, you mean the hand holding, you fixed it yourself :) | 02:50 |
| NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: just really, really slowly :P | 02:51 |
| wols_ | mrdinkles: what is unmounted? if you create a partition it is from unallocated space you cannot unmount since it was never mountable | 02:51 |
| eric | not here | 02:51 |
| baudolino | nickrud, lol well yeah pretty much :P | 02:51 |
| finchx6 | Anyone?? no help with the sound?? I've been trying to get this working since yesterday afternoon. I'm running Gutsy, and the sound that won't work is a Sigmatel STAC 9200 | 02:51 |
| wols_ | Perff_last: I did NOT say to uncomment it | 02:51 |
| baudolino | nickrud, got me thinking in the right direction :) | 02:51 |
| Perff_last | wols_: ok | 02:51 |
| mrdinkles | wols_: so using gparted-- wilst on ubuntu, i can make a new partition of free space? and then install the other os on that separate partition? | 02:51 |
| Perff_last | wols_ didn't uncomment now. changed. still the same result | 02:51 |
| wols_ | mrdinkles: sure. but the other OS should be able to partition on its own | 02:52 |
| Perff_last | wols_: no, sorry | 02:52 |
| serenityUK | wols_: i think eric said he could see the drive using the livecd? | 02:52 |
| Perff_last | wols_:not completely the same... funny: | 02:52 |

| eric | this whole thing doesnt make any sense | 02:52 |
| Perff_last | wols_:root is crazy, I don't have IDE disks | 02:52 |
| wols_ | Perff_last: paste the full groot line as you edited it please | 02:52 |
| mrdinkles | wols: When i attempted to let ubuntu partition itself it overwrote windows, i just dont wanna lose ubuntu =/ | 02:52 |

| smultron | what's a virtual package (in terms of aptitude's search output) | 02:53 |
| chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, I found the webpage of the software you are compiling. It seems quite simple. making lists of files. | 02:53 |
| wols_ | Perff_last: delete the kopt_2_6=root line | 02:53 |
| NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: it seems to be working now :) | 02:53 |
| musikgoat | eric, seems odd, maybe testdisk would help | 02:53 |
| NotSoGutsy | I know it's simple, the version I made didn't work nearly as well as this one seems to, though | 02:53 |
| nantax | im using opera as my main browser (system-preference-preferred application)... i recently installed the gimp help files and when i open it, it pops up in firefox, how do i change this? | 02:54 |
| wols_ | mrdinkles: again, not a ubuntu problem | 02:54 |
| chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, cool ;-) | 02:54 |
| eric | is that another package? | 02:54 |
| kitche | smultron: it installs other packages it's doesn't have anything in it just installs other ones to make it easier to install more then one really | 02:54 |
| musikgoat | eric http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 02:54 |

| Zoohouse | bascule, now i don't have a kicker... lol | 02:56 |
| UbuntMe | like, if i wanted to remove /usr/lib/vlc/visualization | 02:56 |

| Notos | bascule: im not realy sure im just following a guide i found | 03:02 |
| bascule | Zoohouse: welcome | 03:02 |
| musikgoat | bascule: raid0 is striping | 03:02 |
| jijutm | cF: i think i should try both | 03:02 |
| kitche | poppy75: but you can mount it to a directory as well if you wish | 03:02 |
| chickenFuego | It might be the same crap with netbean. gcj by default with ubuntu for licenses reasons. | 03:02 |
| bascule | musikgoat: heh, wrong from me on both counts | 03:02 |
| poppy75 | how do i mount it to a dir? | 03:02 |

| qwerty121 | hi all! how can i install a grub splash? | 03:04 |
| musikgoat | Notos: i think jbod is what you want, iirc | 03:04 |
| jijutm | then create a link to that device in /dev; or even better mount the device | 03:04 |
| bascule | Notos: using mdadm is trivially easy, but there will be a need to format both drives after wordis into one volume | 03:05 |
| harushimo | I finally got the dvd playing | 03:05 |

| musikgoat | Notos: if you are wanting it to be easier to recover if a disk goes bad, i would suggest the linear method, jbod not the striping method raid 0 | 03:06 |
| serenityUK | gravemind: right click on space in panel and choose add to panel? i think you want the notification area... network manager will start when u login | 03:07 |
| musikgoat | additionally, you cannot use true raid 0 on two different sized disks | 03:07 |
| gravemind | serenityUK: thanks, | 03:07 |
| finchx6 | so.. i'm taking this as a no?? | 03:08 |

I have used normal DVDs, DVD+RWs, and DVD-RWs and DVD-Rs from this same spindle in the past, and tried multiple disks in an attempt to pin point the problem. Any ideas? | 03:15 |
| wols_ | l21logan99: what you are doing. using your brain once in a while really helps | 03:15 |
| poningru | nibsa1242b: that sounds like a dvd driver problem | 03:15 |
| l21logan99 | wols: i appreciate the help and understand that i am pretty bad at this stuff, but i tried doing it under "root" and "sudo: and nothing worked | 03:15 |

| musikgoat | Notos: there is hardware raid, which you seem to have on your mobo, and there is the software raid we were discussing, the hardware raid would have nothing to do with ubuntu and you have to set that up within the BIOS or raid utilities | 03:23 |

| nickrud | Ljorring, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide , start up with where it talks about blacklisting the old fglrx. | 03:28 |

| IdleOne | !info curl edgy | 03:28 |
| judgement | chickenFuego & bascule: what do we call this kind of configuration so i can search for solutions online? | 03:28 |
| nibsa1242b | ogre: you don't have an FN+(some key) combo that turns it on and off? or a wireless light somewhere? (if its a built in card that is normally standard) | 03:28 |

| ogre | nibsa1242b:* i guess i do have a wireless light & its on | 03:32 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, that's the important point of those drivers. For me, their performance sucks so I went back to 8.37.6 from ubuntu | 03:32 |
| bascule | paladin__: well if you have a wifi0 or somw wifi dev showing no, else yes | 03:33 |
| nibsa1242b | ogre: ok well thats pretty much the extent of my suggestion... other then that make sure your router broadcasts the SSID... generally makes it easier to find for wireless cards | 03:33 |

| bazhang | bascule: good point ;} | 03:48 |
| serenityUK | Syco54645: forums are great.. look around | 03:48 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: done. status: no crash/error | 03:48 |
| Rico | hi | 03:48 |
| Vaalth | well thank you for your help :) | 03:48 |
| thor | Vaalth word2003 xml is supported, but I don't think doc is | 03:48 |
| Syco54645 | serenityUK, i did, i find them to be hard to search because they are too cluttered. i had searched for about 20 minutes before i came into here. | 03:48 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, ok, now sudo modprobe fglrx . After that, log out and back in, and do the fglrxinfo again | 03:49 |
| Lennalf | I'm setting up ubuntu for the first time on a home theatre PC... I am not sure how to get ubuntu to recognize my USB RF wireless keyboard... | 03:49 |
| Lennalf | can anybody help? | 03:49 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, for fun, hit ctl-alt-backspace while you're logged out | 03:49 |
| Syco54645 | serenityUK, been looking for why the show desktop in the compiz doesnt work either. i tried to set it to a hot corner to no avail... it will show my application windows, just not the desktop | 03:49 |
| bascule | bazhang: I really am of the opinion that sending html docs to people is a way ahead for all compatibility issues | 03:49 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: just to understand a tiny bit... the 'modprobe fglrx' says 'use this driver', mkay? | 03:49 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: mkay ^ | 03:49 |
| bazhang | bascule: agreed | 03:49 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, not quite. It means use this kernel module, which the driver will make use of | 03:50 |
| bazhang | Lennalf: does it require certain drivers--try plugging it in | 03:50 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: ah, ok | 03:50 |
| Lennalf | bazhang: it comes with drivers on a CD, but it was plug-and-play on Windows XP | 03:50 |
| bazhang | Lennalf: plug in the base station and see if it works | 03:51 |
| nickrud | ok, do the fglrxinfo and hope for ati on the driver | 03:51 |
| Syco54645 | serenityUK, well the flash player is fixed. thanks again | 03:51 |
| Lennalf | sorry, base station? | 03:51 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: haha, what was that double ctrl+alt+backspace... 'the greeter thing crashed....' it popped up ^^ | 03:51 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: done* | 03:51 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, that's KIll X Now | 03:51 |
| Lennalf | bazhang: sorry, base station? | 03:52 |
| sonja | how do i rename the keyboards in ubuntu? halp | 03:52 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: ahh... | 03:52 |
| serenityUK | Syco54645: nice one.... trying compiz here.. expo works if i set to top left corner bu not show deesktop hmmmm | 03:52 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, what about the last line of fglrx | 03:52 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1) | 03:52 |
| bazhang | Lennalf: how does the wireless connect? to the cpu? likely to a dongle that you plug into a usb port, yes? | 03:52 |
| nickrud | Not good. | 03:52 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: damn.. | 03:52 |
| Lennalf | bazhang: yes it is a USB dongle. It is listed in my hardware information screen | 03:53 |
| Syco54645 | serenityUK, that is the same boat i am in... finding all of these annoyances. still better than windows though, linux has been for me for 7 years now. windows free! WOOOOOOOO! At any rate, I cannot figure out why the show desktop does not work. | 03:53 |
| chickenFuego | sonja, on the top right, click "System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts" | 03:53 |
| Syco54645 | serenityUK, the button on the panel works but not the hot corners nor the key combo | 03:53 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, ok, put on the pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf , /var/log/Xorg.0.log , the output of lspci | grep -i vga | 03:53 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: on it | 03:53 |
| Lennalf | bazhang: It sees a Wireless Keyboard/Mouse in my USB UHCI Controller #2 | 03:54 |
| sonja | chickenFuego: ok i'm there, how do i rename them now? | 03:54 |
| bazhang | Lennalf: try syncing it with the keyboard--there should be buttons on both base station and keyboard that may need to be pressed simultaneously | 03:54 |
| serenityUK | Syco54645: hmmm the button on the panel gives me a nice animation too.. they go to all 4 corners | 03:54 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, when you did that aptitude install run, did it talk about unpacking and setting up the packages? | 03:54 |
| sonja | for example if i pick U.S. English Dvorak and I want to just rename it to Dvorak | 03:54 |
| sonja | and U.S. English rename it to Qwerty | 03:54 |
| Lennalf | bazhang: hmm okay, I'll look... | 03:54 |
| Syco54645 | serenityUK, so that means that it works, just not correctly. i mean that is what it should do | 03:54 |
| bazhang | Lennalf: so it works now? if it is recognized then just try using it--othewise try the sync | 03:55 |
| sonja | so when i go and switch between keyboards it shows the name, rather than swapping between USA and USA2 | 03:55 |
| DARKGuy | Does anybody knows a good player that can support shoutcast and uses WinAmp skins? | 03:55 |
| Lennalf | bazhang: I'll try to sync... the button isn't clear.... one says ID... | 03:55 |
| chickenFuego | sonja, click on the +Add button and you can select the keyboards you want from a huge list. | 03:55 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: I dont remember it so.. but not sure | 03:55 |
| maverickAlex | DARKGuy: xmms | 03:55 |
| serenityUK | Syco54645: ah.... | 03:55 |
| bazhang | DARKGuy: winamp? :} | 03:55 |
| serenityUK | Syco54645: crtl-alt-D ! | 03:55 |
| sonja | chickenFuego: yes i added the ones i want. i want to rename them now. | 03:55 |
| DARKGuy | maverickAlex: but, does it have shoutcast integrated like BMPx? | 03:55 |
| DARKGuy | bazhang: lol yes, but emulating it through WINE is just silly :p | 03:56 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, run it again , you can do ctl-r fglrx to search back in the terminal for the command | 03:56 |
| maverickAlex | DARKGuy: it can stream shoutcast but i don't know if its like BMPx | 03:56 |
| Lennalf | bazhang: no luck yet. Thanks for your help btw :) | 03:56 |
| Syco54645 | serenityUK, well it doesnt work if i try to set it to something. and the hot corner does not work for that matter. that is what i really want. | 03:56 |
| Ljorring | ok | 03:56 |
| DARKGuy | maverickAlex: well I guess I'll give it a try, thanks for the suggestion :p | 03:56 |
| serenityUK | Syco54645: if you goto general settings instead of the showdesktop plugin..... then actions... there is "Hide all windows and focus desktop" set to crtl-alt-D | 03:56 |
| bazhang | DARKGuy: not sure about the skins, but amarok/rhythmbox should support shoutcast | 03:57 |
| Ljorring | xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49110/ | 03:57 |

| maverickAlex | DARKGuy: check out streamtuner | 03:57 |
| Syco54645 | serenityUK, what tool are you using. i am using the gldesktop thing because the other is way too bloated for my tastes | 03:57 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: lspci | grep -i vga : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AQ [Radeon 9600] | 03:57 |
| bascule | nadio: a good and loving one | 03:57 |
| Lennalf | bazhang: It is the SpecResearch 01027; although the box actually says X-Gene :-P | 03:57 |
| DARKGuy | bazhang: I've tried rhythmbox and it doesn't, dunno about Amarok yet - maverickAlex: Okay I will | 03:57 |
| serenityUK | Syco54645: no i'm using the advanced one | 03:58 |
| serenityUK | Syco54645: still not triggering with corner but works on keyboard | 03:58 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, need to change the xorg.conf. do this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , when it's done , sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf , and look for ati. Replace with fgrlx | 03:58 |
| nadio | bascule: for kernel configuration, I doubt there is one. | 03:58 |
| Syco54645 | serenityUK, well that one krunks my settings. i prefer the gldesktop. at any rate, i think it may be a bug. | 03:58 |
| bascule | nadio: well yoy can built x86_64 if you want | 03:59 |
| Syco54645 | serenityUK, the ctrl alt d isnt that bad to have to hit, i just miss my hot corners (has a mac at work) | 03:59 |

| bazhang | Lennalf: the writer of that article seems to suggest that it is no prob with ubuntu | 04:01 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: I found two files. I am to manually remove them? | 04:02 |
| bascule | paxton: tried xorg.conf changes, dpkg-reconfigureand all that stuff? | 04:02 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, yes. Once we're sure we've gotten rid of any possible bad one, we'll reinstall the right one | 04:02 |
| bazhang | mrdinkles: have you seen the GRUB factoid? | 04:02 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: sounds good to me :) | 04:02 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: on it | 04:02 |
| paxton | Yes, I have changed xorg.conf to driver via | 04:02 |
| paxton | and it boots xwindow, but no higher resolutions | 04:03 |
| mrdinkles | bazhang: nope, what is it? | 04:03 |
| paxton | it only goes to 800 x 600 and lower | 04:03 |

| Lennalf | bazhang: yeah... hmm :( I guess I'll just keep tinkering. Thanks for the help though. | 04:03 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: I am to do the sudoapt on the fglrx now? | 04:03 |
| paxton | i dont think so | 04:03 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, sudo aptitude reinstall xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) libgl1-mesa | 04:03 |
| paxton | How could I do that? | 04:03 |

| Jack_Sparrow | paxton: If you paste your xorg into the pastebin (Not into this channel) and give the link it will help them help you | 04:05 |
| bascule | paxton: paste /etc/X11/xorg.conf to some pastebin | 04:05 |
| paxton | whats a pastebin? | 04:06 |
| bascule | !pastebin | paxton | 04:06 |
| ubotu | paxton: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 04:06 |

| pope22 | i'm having sound problems (as i could tell many have after perusing the forums). My headphone jack works, but the speakers do not, even when jack is removed. However, i am at a loss after trying the suggested fixes. I ran alsamixer, "speakers" were indeed muted, but after toggling them on (and rebooting for good measure) nothing. I also ran aplay -l, and from what i read my results were supposedly what they should, as far as i had r | 04:13 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, a sec | 04:13 |

| Ahmuck | how do i get apt to use a local repository? | 04:13 |
| sqlnoob | bazhang: it's dual boot, from windows it works fine, from ubuntu it doesnt | 04:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | paxton: Do you have a link to your laptop secs.. as in refresh rate for v & h | 04:14 |

| CarlFK | is "packages have been kept back: linux-headers-generic" causing "libGLcore.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv000040gl " ? http://dpaste.com/28716/ | 04:15 |

| bazhang | sqlnoob: broadcom 4311? | 04:15 |
| serenityUK | jwpaine_: yes it is recommended for less than 256.. also gives more control over install | 04:15 |
| bascule | CarlFK: no a broken nvidia driver is causing that | 04:15 |

| paxton | is that xorg.conf safe to reboot the xwindow session with? | 04:18 |

| bazhang | Extravert: that is your question? you are allowed only one you know | 04:20 |
| sqlnoob | bazhang: the 4311? how do u know that? i don't see that in the lspci, im so noob at this | 04:20 |
| musikgoat | nn Jack_Sparrow i'm about to watch pirates 3, is it worth it ^_^ | 04:20 |
| Delvien | Ok.. Gutsy laptop , running an e100 intel ethernet card, the link goes up and down and most times I do not have internet/networking | 04:20 |
| semaja2 | anyone have any ideas on why applications like tuxpaint and gcompris wont load *they start to load in the terminal but stop* but other applications like blackjack work fine | 04:20 |
| Extravert | bazhang: lol | 04:20 |
| === kahrytan_ is now known as kahrytan | ||
| sqlnoob | bazhang: thanks tho! I'm going to go and read on what you sent me | 04:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | musikgoat: Very much so... | 04:21 |
| Extravert | bazhang: you know how to use GPG? | 04:21 |
| musikgoat | hehe | 04:21 |
| bazhang | sqlnoob: no worries :} | 04:21 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49117/ <--- search xserver-xorg-video-ati | 04:21 |
| bazhang | Extravert: that is your question? yes I do | 04:21 |
| semaja2 | anyone? | 04:21 |
| hockeyfan5000 | semaja2: I am not sure, my son uses tuxpaint and he is 3 and never has any problems | 04:21 |
| sqlnoob | bazhang: mine is a 1720 Inspiron, does it work the same way? that's why i said it's a 4401 | 04:21 |
| Extravert | bazhang: gpg doesnt work in the console so how else could I use it? | 04:21 |
| semaja2 | it was working fine, but then today it wont work :S | 04:22 |
| musikgoat | anyone else notice the quality difference in playing a dvd in ubuntu vs windows? | 04:22 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, I found out that your 9600 has a bug that sometimes shows up when using the ati driver. | 04:22 |
| kahrytan | musikgoat➲ which one is better? | 04:22 |
| hockeyfan5000 | musikgoat I havent seen any | 04:22 |
| Extravert | bazhang: I tried decrypting my file and the console keeps jamming up | 04:22 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, so, run restricted-manager , and tell it to install the restricted ati driver | 04:22 |
| bascule | CarlFK: seems to be no downgrade facility, well no easy way, perhaps you need to update everything? | 04:22 |
| musikgoat | my quality of dvd's in totem-xine is pretty fuzzy | 04:22 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: ok, I will disable, then re-enable it | 04:22 |
| JensenDied | so, kernel upgrade issue, one worked fine, one did not. | 04:23 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: thats the procedure? | 04:23 |
| hockeyfan5000 | musikgoat, you sure your using the right video driver? | 04:23 |
| Extravert | bazhang: it is fixed in the newer versions but im just wondering if theres a way around it | 04:23 |
| kahrytan | musikgoat➲ did you try vlc? | 04:23 |
| bazhang | http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome/gpgp Extravert; also http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Chip/3708/gpgp/gpgp.html | 04:23 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, run restricted-manager in a terminal, it should have a checkbox for using the restricted driver | 04:23 |
| musikgoat | let me install that, i didn't give it a try, that should work | 04:23 |
| CarlFK | bascule: um... isn't that was "sudo apt-get upgrade" does? | 04:23 |
| musikgoat | thanks kahrytan | 04:23 |
| kahrytan | musikgoat➲ I dont have an dvds myself :( | 04:23 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: oh, its not checked.. I will check the proprietary driver now | 04:23 |
| bascule | CarlFK: yeah, well it seems to be a bug, is this when you run a game? | 04:24 |
| bazhang | sqlnoob: 4401 is the ethernet driver | 04:24 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: 'needs a computer restart' <-- brb | 04:24 |
| earlmred | hmm, off my sw raid5 w/ 4 7200.10 500GB drives, i'm getting 136MB/s reads, 56MB/s writes ... | 04:24 |
| earlmred | does that seem right? | 04:24 |
| kahrytan | musikgoat➲ but keep in mine. Linux uses libdvdcss2 .. ie a crack to css. | 04:24 |
| sqlnoob | bazhang: oh yeah my bad, sorry | 04:24 |
| musikgoat | thanks | 04:24 |
| CarlFK | bascule: it's when X starts | 04:25 |
| bascule | CarlFK: nasty | 04:25 |
| Extravert | bazhang: so I have to install the new version? | 04:25 |
| bazhang | Extravert: are you on Gutsy? | 04:25 |
| Extravert | bazhang: ya | 04:25 |
| * musikgoat <3 vlc!! thanks kahrytan | 04:26 | |
| bazhang | Extravert: that is the front end, ie the gui | 04:26 |
| Extravert | bazhang: oh thanks =) | 04:26 |
| kahrytan | musikgoat➲ I love vlc too. plays most codecs thrown at it. no need to install gstreamer codecs. | 04:26 |
| bazhang | Extravert: no worries ;} | 04:26 |
| nickrud | vlc runs really nice for dvd's as well. Can't believe I only started using it a few months ago | 04:27 |
| Delvien | Ok.. Gutsy laptop , running an e100 intel ethernet card, the link goes up and down and most times I do not have internet/networking, I cant seem to get internet nor networking to work correctly on this laptop, anyone have an idea | 04:27 |
| alain | hi guys.. got this problem.. i already installed the restricted driver but still cant to display .. it works b4 but after i installed the nvidia driver from nvidia website cant make it work again | 04:27 |
| bascule | CarlFK: I read the paste,only thing for now is to go back to nv driver in xorg.conf | 04:27 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: now I got my 1280z1024 up running again | 04:27 |
| hockeyfan5000 | Delvien: Did you try to manually set a static IP address? | 04:27 |
| bazhang | Delvien: could it be a router issue? | 04:27 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, what does fglrxinfo say? | 04:27 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: I have sensed a difference now. the graphics seem to run smoother | 04:27 |
| jwpaine_ | I'm surprised with how popular Ubuntu is, that they don't have a netinstall :( | 04:28 |
| Delvien | hocketfan5000 actually trying that now, :P | 04:28 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6) | 04:28 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, sucess! | 04:28 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: great stuff xD | 04:28 |
| Delvien | bazhang router is fine, other 2-3 computers are accessing the internet and pinging eachother | 04:28 |
| JensenDied | kernel seems to not be mounting /proc and failing on others after that | 04:28 |
| chickenFuego | Delvien, you might try "sudo echo 'blacklist intel_rng' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistand reboot. | 04:28 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, now, sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager emerald . Log out and back in | 04:28 |
| bazhang | Delvien: you using the network manager? or via command line | 04:29 |
| Delvien | bazhang net manager | 04:29 |
| chickenFuego | Delvien, you might try "sudo echo 'blacklist intel_rng' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistand" reboot. | 04:29 |
| Delvien | chickenfuego is that a known issue with that card or something? | 04:29 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: whats with the emerald? | 04:29 |
| chickenFuego | Delvien, with the two >> !!! | 04:29 |
| chrisn_ | hey | 04:29 |
| CarlFK | bascule: nv doesn't error, but now I don't get any output on the svideo port | 04:29 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, it's a pretty window decorator, it'll be in the preferences menu | 04:29 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: I have never had that package installed I can see | 04:29 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: nice :) | 04:29 |
| bazhang | Delvien: is this the computer you are on now? if so, how are you connected; if not, can you access that computer now | 04:29 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: relogging | 04:29 |
| Delvien | bazhang no its another laptop i have connected to ethernet | 04:30 |
| chickenFuego | Delvien, some ethernet wireless card on laptop have a problem with this (intel), It was making mycard hanging on boot and sometimes unstable. | 04:30 |
| Delvien | bazhang yes i can access it | 04:30 |
| bascule | CarlFK: yeah, it's a workaround not a fix, a fix is way beyond me, but you could try a manual nvidia install with their own package | 04:30 |
| bazhang | Delvien: open network, wep, wpa, wpa2 what | 04:30 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: now the graphics seem slow again... :S | 04:30 |
| bascule | CarlFK: after removing the ubunto one fo course | 04:30 |
| Delvien | bazhang its not wireless, its ethernet | 04:31 |
| bazhang | Ljorring: turn off compiz :} | 04:31 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, do alt-f2 compiz --replace && emerald --replace | 04:31 |
| nickrud | bazhang, ;p | 04:31 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: but the fglrx says OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6) | 04:31 |
| bazhang | Delvien: ethernet wont work? I thought this was a wireless question... | 04:31 |
| Delvien | bazhang nope, ethernet | 04:31 |
| chickenFuego | Delvien, if you have the same message on boot with your intel network card... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/102982 | 04:31 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: done | 04:32 |
| bazhang | Delvien: do you start up the computer with the ethernet cable plugged in, or plug it in after start up | 04:32 |
| Extravert | bazhang: the app is so unstable. Just crashed and it doesnt import my key files | 04:32 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, you should have different window borders | 04:32 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: the settings work xD though I feel some lag | 04:32 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: yep, I got some nasty red borders ^^ | 04:32 |
| Delvien | bazhang with it already plugged in | 04:33 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: there is something, that my adapter doesnt like. I will have to investigate that | 04:33 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: but else it seems as if the compiz is working | 04:33 |
| bazhang | Extravert: you want to import key files? from a trusted source? how about wget | 04:33 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, it's even worse with the new ati drivers. Go to the emerald preference, pick a different one. then alt-f2 emerald --replace to change it | 04:33 |
| Extravert | bazhang: its on my computer | 04:33 |
| bazhang | Extravert: you want to import keys? | 04:34 |
| Ahmuck | if i want to use an aptoncd backup for my packages, can i just insert a cdrom line in my sources.list? | 04:34 |
| Extravert | bazhang: yes | 04:34 |
| bazhang | Extravert: from a trusted source? | 04:34 |
| Extravert | bazhang: /.gnupg/secring.gpg | 04:34 |
| bazhang | Extravert: import means from an outside source, right? | 04:35 |
| bascule | Ahmuck: there is a way to do it specifically, can't remeber off hand bit synaptics/adept allow you to do this throught the sources options | 04:35 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: some of the other emerald borders doesnt like it | 04:35 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: can I for debugging turn of emerald? | 04:35 |
| Extravert | bazhang: "Bad fd number" | 04:36 |
| Delvien | chickenFuego that is for an ethernet card right? | 04:36 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, it's probable that there's some file left over from the ati installer, I don't know where though | 04:36 |
| bazhang | http://www.stillhq.com/extracted/gnupg-api/doc/faq.html Extravert take a read of that | 04:37 |
| chickenFuego | no the FWH bug was for wireless intel card, but it is related to the random numbers generator or so.. might be also on yours? Check the if you get the FWH error message on bootmaybe? | 04:37 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: the emerrald effect is cool :) | 04:37 |
| === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| Extravert | bazhang: dead link =( | 04:37 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, yes, you can alter the themes yourself too | 04:37 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: I have gotten compiz to work now, and I am truly thankful for your time, nickrud | 04:37 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: but there is something crreating huge lag in the interface | 04:38 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: I will investigate that matter tomorrow... | 04:38 |
| Extravert | bazhang: I should install 1.4.8 then | 04:38 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, like I said, something left over most likely | 04:38 |
| verb3k | The new flash plguin is really slow, can anyboy tell me how to get the older version? | 04:38 |
| bazhang | http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/faqs.html Extravert | 04:38 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: do you know how to find it? | 04:38 |
| stuporglu1 | Anyone know what font Gvim uses by default? | 04:39 |
| bascule | some mono space | 04:39 |
| Old_Gregg | Hello. I'm getting no sound on my interweb browser. | 04:39 |
| stuporglu1 | bascule: yeah, I've got 100+ fonts on my system though and I can't find which one it is :-/ | 04:39 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, not off the top of my head | 04:40 |
| chickenFuego | Old_Gregg, within a flash video in your browser, you might have to right-click on it and select "allow access to ..." | 04:40 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: mkay | 04:40 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, if nothing else, you've learned the danger of installing stuff that's not in a deb package :) | 04:40 |
| interceptor | #ubuntu-ru | 04:41 |
| verb3k | please anybody.....The new flash plugin is really slow, can anyboy tell me how to get the older version? | 04:41 |
| Old_Gregg | chickenfuego: no luck | 04:41 |
| Delvien | chickenFuego heres the error "FWH not detected" | 04:41 |
| sonja | how do i install a bunch of TTF fonts i have on another hard drive to my ubuntu? | 04:42 |
| sonja | can i drag and drop them somewhere? | 04:42 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: yes, ofc :) and I have gotten smarter on the driver area | 04:42 |
| Notos | hai !!! quick question what kernel should i install for a Intel Q6600 *(Quad Core) | 04:42 |
| chickenFuego | Delvien, do you have a lag at boot when it is displaying that? | 04:42 |
| Oddie_grove | #manado | 04:42 |
| Dr_willis | sonja, in the fonts:// or fonts:/ dir is one way. | 04:42 |
| sonja | okay | 04:42 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: what I really would miss in ubuntu, is an interface from where you could manage all the driver issues | 04:42 |
| sonja | i'll hunt for that dir | 04:42 |
| Ashfire908 | Notos, standard? | 04:43 |
| Delvien | chickenFuego not noticable, but lanchpad is telling me to blacklist intel_nrg so.. | 04:43 |
| Dr_willis | sonja, enter it in the file manager. | 04:43 |
| Oddie_grove | #kristen | 04:43 |
| chickenFuego | lauchpad?? | 04:43 |
| anton___ | Hey, I'm wondering if I could partition my drive post-installation, and then install windows on that new partition...? | 04:43 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: cause you have to know the location of all the files & commands related to a driver issue | 04:43 |
| Old_Gregg | I have sound on World of Warcraft and up until tonight had sound on the internet | 04:43 |
| Notos | Ashfire908, no im using Debootstarp as in the FakeRaid Howto | 04:43 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: but thx for ur help :) I will surf around a bit | 04:43 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, for nearly every driver, it's all automated. Just the ones from manufacturers that won't release specs are problematic | 04:44 |
| ifireball | sonja: System->Preferences->Fonts->Details->Go to Fonts Folder | 04:44 |
| sonja | how do i open this file manager? | 04:44 |
| sonja | Dr_willis? | 04:44 |
| Ashfire908 | notos: ? idk then | 04:44 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: perhaps its also just me | 04:44 |
| Ljorring | nickrud: im new to ubuntu | 04:44 |
| signal9 | After an update this morning, including a new kernel and headers, I can no longer load the nvidia graphics drivier | 04:44 |
| ultraz | sonja where are you from ? | 04:44 |
| sonja | Toronto | 04:45 |
| nickrud | Ljorring, so it's impractical to build handlers for unknown crap. No, it was that ati driver install | 04:45 |
| Notos | Ashfire908: well i think i will go with the apt-get linux-386 :( | 04:45 |
| sonja | (Canadia) | 04:45 |
| ultraz | nice name ... | 04:45 |
| kajsdklajsd | hello, how can i access the folder /Users/My Documents/ from an ubuntu livecd, i can see any other folder but some of the folders in /Users/My Documents/, is there anyway of jumping over the permissions? (sorry if this question is out of place) | 04:45 |
| Nergar | hello | 04:45 |
| sonja | you, ultraz? | 04:45 |
| nickrud | signal9, are you using the ones from nvidia? | 04:45 |
| Dr_willis | sonja, the normal gnome file manager.. you use it every time ya click on a directory icon... type in fonts:/ in the address | 04:45 |
| ultraz | Serbia | 04:45 |
| hamadooo | hi guys | 04:45 |
| paxton | Ok, that was close | 04:45 |
| sonja | ok thanks willis | 04:45 |
| * nickrud is a masochist | 04:45 | |
| anton___ | any way to make a partition post-installation? and then install another os on that partition... | 04:46 |
| signal9 | yes, though installed using the restricted driver manager | 04:46 |
| Ashfire908 | notos: oh. is your sys a 64-bit? | 04:46 |
| paxton | i tried using the vesa driver, and It kept saying there was an xwindow running allready | 04:46 |
| Dr_willis | sonja, installing/removing fonts under linux is so much nicer then how windows does it. :) | 04:46 |
| Delvien | chickenfuego by blacklisting that it halfed my boot time, so i guess it was slowing it down lol | 04:46 |
| Nergar | i have a problem, i updated my system today (i saw some linux headers in the updates), restarted and now it wont boot. Grub says: File not found | 04:46 |
| hamadooo | i got an error msg everytime i open the ubuntu it's about the setting deamon ..... and when i restart the computer everything goes alright | 04:46 |
| chickenFuego | Delvien, so and is your card stable now?? | 04:46 |
| paxton | It kept saying that so i changed the xorg.conf back to via driver and it booted, but still in low res | 04:46 |
| ultraz | Dr_willis: never did it, i will give it a try | 04:46 |
| soulsucker | Hi all... i have a minor issue..I just installed 64 bit version of ubuntu... and I can not get flash videos to play in firefox... swf and flash player and java are installed..any suggestions...? | 04:47 |
| Notos | Ashfire908: good question but i dont think so as i am runing the x86 live cd | 04:47 |
| Delvien | chickenfuego looks like it | 04:47 |
| Delvien | chickenfuego ill come back if its not :) | 04:47 |
| paxton | it also poped up a window when I stared up Ubuntu saying it was in low graphics mode | 04:47 |
| Ashfire908 | notos: then the 386 is fine. | 04:47 |
| Ashfire908 | notos: *the 386 is fine. | 04:47 |
| nickrud | signal9, then you're using the ubuntu ones. My tidbit wouldn't help, sorry | 04:47 |
| paxton | I changed it to a higher resolution, tested it, and it worked | 04:47 |
| hamadooo | i got an error msg everytime i open the ubuntu it's about the setting deamon ..... and when i restart the computer everything goes alright? | 04:47 |
| paxton | then it went back to 800 by 600 | 04:47 |
| paxton | now i am lost again | 04:47 |
| alain | guys i have enabled the restricted driver.. but still cant work.. | 04:48 |
| kr00l | can someone help me install a .tar.bz2 file? | 04:48 |
| rainwalker | kr00l: what's the file? | 04:48 |
| Notos | Ashfire908, so it takes advantage of the 4 cores? | 04:48 |
| paxton | Can someone help me fix my resolution then.? | 04:48 |
| kr00l | rainwalker: it's a "mupen64-0.5.tar.bz2" | 04:49 |
| hamadooo | anyone knows about the setting deamon ??? | 04:49 |
| verb3k | kr00l, that file is an archive, it is like .zip and can contain anything from source code to executables | 04:49 |
| ifireball | hamadooo: what about it? | 04:49 |
| alain | paxton have u installed the restricted drivers | 04:49 |
| rainwalker | kr00l: never heard of it...what is it? | 04:49 |
| paxton | I think so, ill check again | 04:49 |
| Ashfire908 | Notos: 386 is the processor architecture. the amount of cores doesn't matter | 04:49 |
| kr00l | Nintendo 64 emulator | 04:49 |
| signal9 | so, I'm wondering if this morning's kernel updates just bork the nvidia driver outright? | 04:49 |
| kr00l | rainwalker: can you help me install it | 04:49 |
| paxton | IT says it has no restricted drivers | 04:49 |
| verb3k | kr00l, right click and "extract here" and see what you get | 04:50 |
| hamadooo | ifireball .. i have an error msg everytime i try to log in .. and it tells me to restart and when i restart everything goes alright | 04:50 |
| rainwalker | kr00l: well first I'd say to extract the archive and see if there's anything in it telling you how to install | 04:50 |
| bazhang | kr00l: problematic with Ubuntu--install at your own risk | 04:50 |
| paxton | but I am still at 800 by 600 :( | 04:50 |
| alain | wat video card are u using | 04:50 |
| Ashfire908 | Notos: (except the cell processor in the ps3. (8 are cell cores and one is powerpc)) | 04:50 |
| rainwalker | bazhang: what's problematic? | 04:50 |
| paxton | I am using a via unichrome pro igp s3 | 04:50 |
| kr00l | rainwalker: OK | 04:50 |
| bazhang | rainwalker: mupen :} | 04:50 |
| Notos | Ashfire908, oh thanks the so no need to complie a kernel after install ? | 04:50 |
| rainwalker | bazhang: how so? | 04:50 |
| ifireball | hamadooo: can you log in after you restart? | 04:51 |
| bazhang | rainwalker: doesnot work | 04:51 |
| nickrud | the kernel is the one thing they should release new instead of updating, at least you could go back to the old one | 04:51 |
| Ashfire908 | Notos, why do you think you need to? | 04:51 |
| rainwalker | bazhang: ah...I can see how that might be problematic haha | 04:51 |
| bazhang | hehe | 04:51 |
| hamadooo | ifireball yes i can .. but i have to restart the computer everytime i open the ubuntu | 04:51 |
| paxton | can someone help me then | 04:51 |
| Old_Gregg | Hello. Can someone help me? I have no sound whatsoever. | 04:51 |
| sqlnoob | bazhang: :( I got the firmware but i havent been able to install it so I can enable the card, i've looked online but when i do "sudo make install" the packet throws C programming errors | 04:51 |
| Ashfire908 | !ask | 04:51 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 04:51 |
| sqlnoob | bazhang: I don't think my install is working as it should =/ | 04:52 |
| IdleOne | !sound | Old_Gregg | 04:52 |
| ubotu | Old_Gregg: 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 | 04:52 |
| Notos | Ashfire908, i dont know before when Warty was new there where linux-image-dual and the like if i remeber corectly | 04:52 |

| paxton | I understand that, but I have messed with this all day, and every thing i try doesnt work | 04:55 |
| ifireball | hamadooo: well, we still need to figure out what the problem is exactly... | 04:55 |

| tritium | aram: Applications -> Internet -> Pidgin | 05:14 |
| Flannel | jhhh: Thats because there have been a lot of fixes since October | 05:14 |

| nickrud | rainwalker, 2.6.22-14 . I would prefer a 2.6.22-14.1 , so if it fails, I can go back to 2.6.22-14 | 05:17 |
| aram | sorry what is sudo | 05:17 |
| alfermp | no problem aram gaim is the old version from pidgin | 05:17 |
| Flannel | !sudo | aram | 05:18 |
| r3n0c | Gaim is now pidgin | 05:18 |
| ubotu | aram: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 05:18 |
| tritium | aram: do not use sudo su, please | 05:18 |
| nickrud | irrc, we used to get them | 05:18 |
| rainwalker | nickrud: will we get a 14.1? | 05:18 |
| r3n0c | can somebody help me get my laptop to go into suspend/hibernate mode | 05:18 |
| nickrud | rainwalker, no idea | 05:18 |
| r3n0c | i get a message that i am not able to effect that policy | 05:18 |
| aram | tritium :why | 05:18 |
| tritium | aram: sudo -i is preferred | 05:18 |
| rainwalker | nickrud: well I'm going to hold off updating, then. thanks for warning me :) | 05:19 |
| Schmick | aram: I wrote some instructions on a private message.. read it.. check your windows | 05:19 |
| sonja | bascule and rainwalker how do i set it to permanently always open with that program as default behaviour in future double clicks? | 05:19 |
| aram | sorry man i dont know what is sudo at all | 05:19 |
| Nergar | Flannel: im installing openbox and a browser so i can paste it. just one sec | 05:19 |
| aram | schmick how can i read my privet massage | 05:19 |
| bascule | aram: just use gaim for now | 05:19 |

| tritium | aram: Flannel had ubotu send you some info | 05:19 |
| jhhh | hah that Advanced graphics trick is cool where you move windows and they kinda turn to jello :> | 05:19 |
| aram | ok i will do | 05:19 |
| r3n0c | anybody know how to get hibernate to work, ubuntu 7.10 | 05:20 |
| aram | thank a lot guys | 05:20 |
| Flannel | Nergar: You dont need to do that, check out the package "pastebinit" | 05:20 |
| rainwalker | sonja: in the properties window, if you set it to open with VLC under the Open With tab, all files of that type will open with VLC | 05:20 |
| Schmick | aram: it must have poped up on a tab with my nick on it.. or another window. | 05:20 |
| aram | schmick where ? | 05:20 |
| jhhh | whats a good xwin based irc client for ubuntu, i see a few in the install packages, which is pretty good? | 05:20 |
| rainwalker | jhhh: gotta love the wobbly windows haha | 05:20 |
| aram | because know i am using gaim | 05:20 |
| nickrud | jhhh, xchat is good | 05:20 |
| Kuropon | any reason why my firefox doesn't want to remember the position it's at in my Ubuntu 7.10 but remembers its size? | 05:20 |
| r3n0c | gaim is now pidgin | 05:20 |
| robdig | jhhh: xchat | 05:20 |
| jhhh | ill check it out | 05:20 |
| harushimo | I got my dvds to play. Now totem is automatically exiting | 05:20 |
| tritium | jhhh: xchat | 05:21 |
| jhhh | systems updating right now | 05:21 |
| r3n0c | xchat is a good irc client | 05:21 |
| harushimo | how I do fix the software | 05:21 |
| sonja | so is irssi | 05:21 |
| sonja | pidgin does irc too | 05:21 |
| jhhh | so i have to wait for the security patches to finish | 05:21 |
| rainwalker | r3n0c: yeah, but on Feisty it's still Gaim, it hasn't updated to Pidgin yet | 05:21 |
| nickrud | aram, the people in #compiz-fusion can show you all the goodies :) | 05:21 |
| jhhh | had to enable it to check for those, i figured that'd be defaulted | 05:21 |
| jhhh | but its not | 05:21 |
| harushimo | anyone | 05:21 |
| r3n0c | rainwalker, o, didn't know, you could still do it yourself tho... | 05:21 |
| rainwalker | harushimo: I'd recommend using VLC instead of totem | 05:21 |
| aram | any onw can help me how can i see my privet massage | 05:21 |
| Schmick | aram: are you using xchat or what to access this channel? | 05:22 |
| r3n0c | aram, top left corner | 05:22 |
| rainwalker | r3n0c: yeah, but I prefer to let the devs do it for me haha | 05:22 |
| harushimo | rainwalker: I could do that | 05:22 |
| r3n0c | rainwalker, haha ok then | 05:22 |
| aram | i dont know i just login with irc by gaum | 05:22 |
| aram | sorry gaim | 05:22 |
| harushimo | rainwalker: the streaming video doesn't work with VLC | 05:22 |
| rainwalker | aram: in the window you're typing in, look around for a new tab. It will probably be red, or highlighted, or something like that | 05:22 |
| Kuropon | any reason why my firefox doesn't want to remember the position it's at in my Ubuntu 7.10 but remembers its size? | 05:22 |
| r3n0c | rainwalker, umm do you know how to get hibernate/suspend to work with gutsy? | 05:22 |
| jhhh | i have to say im pretty suprised thus far with this being my first install tonight | 05:22 |
| Nergar | Flannel: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2899/ | 05:22 |
| Schmick | aram: ok.. first thing.. get xchat and run it.. it'll get to this channel by default.. | 05:23 |
| aram | no there is not | 05:23 |
| harushimo | that's not the real issue at hand. I just want to know how I fix totem or what they call gsstreamer | 05:23 |
| albech | . | 05:23 |
| rainwalker | Kuropon: that depends what you have set for window placement | 05:23 |
| r3n0c | rainwalker, i modified the power settings, but when i close the lid... a popup says that i don't have access to modify the policy | 05:23 |
| aram | what is xchat? | 05:23 |
| Schmick | aram: its easier with xchat. | 05:23 |
| rainwalker | r3n0c: hibernate hasn't worked for me since dapper, sorry | 05:23 |
| jhhh | irc client | 05:23 |
| Kuropon | rainwalker, qustion mark question mark | 05:23 |
| sonja | xchat is aprogram to connect to irc | 05:23 |
| r3n0c | lol balls | 05:23 |
| aram | ok s chmick where can i get xchat | 05:23 |
| rainwalker | harushimo: gstreamer is what lets you play that dvd | 05:23 |
| Extravert | can someone help me with GPG? | 05:23 |
| harushimo | rainwalker: it didn't work | 05:23 |
| r3n0c | aram, sudo apt-get install xchat | 05:24 |
| rainwalker | Kuropon: are you using Compiz Fusion? | 05:24 |
| sainzeo | aram: Add/Remove Programs | 05:24 |
| Kuropon | rainwalker, no | 05:24 |
| r3n0c | aram, or that yea, use the add/remove | 05:24 |
| harushimo | rainwalker: I install what they told me on the ubuntu website | 05:24 |
| aram | where do i have to type this command | 05:24 |
| Schmick | aram: go to system->administration ->synaptic... | 05:24 |
| Kuropon | rainwalker, can't get it to work my my video card | 05:24 |
| rainwalker | aram: if you want install programs there are two main ways you can do it | 05:24 |
| keithclark | Hi everyone....what is the easiest way to enable DVD playback? | 05:24 |
| r3n0c | aram just go to the add/remove applications | 05:24 |
| aram | ok i am in add and remove application know | 05:25 |
| Schmick | aram: there scroll down.. select xchat and apply.. .. it'll download and install it for you. | 05:25 |
| rainwalker | Kupon: well...hm. I only know about window placement using CF, I don't know how it's handled otherwise, I'm sorry | 05:25 |
| aram | ok hang on a secound | 05:25 |
| Schmick | aram: that's good too.. it's the same.. | 05:25 |
| Kuropon | rainwalker, /facepalm | 05:25 |
| robdig | !dvd | keithclark | 05:25 |
| ubotu | keithclark: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 05:25 |
| aram | ok i think i have installed xchat | 05:25 |
| rainwalker | aram: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3978530#post3978530 | 05:25 |

| Kuropon | run it ^^ | 05:26 |
| nickrud | rainwalker, my laptop does suspend and hibernate (without fglrx of course) Love that salesman | 05:26 |
| sainzeo | aram: look under Applications, Internet - should be listed there i believe | 05:26 |
| Schmick | aram: close this and runn xchat :).. it's in applications, internet.. .. yes sainzeo | 05:26 |
| bazhang | Extravert: uninstall it? I thought you wanted to get the most recent one. | 05:26 |
| rainwalker | nickrud: lucky! | 05:26 |
| aram | because currently i run ubuntu with virtual mashine | 05:26 |
| noor | you guys | 05:26 |
| Flannel | nickrud: you have different partitions for your server and desktop install? | 05:26 |
| Schmick | that's ok aram | 05:26 |
| Extravert | bazhang: it removes critical components | 05:26 |
| aram | because i have got difficualty to install ubuntu on my actual system | 05:26 |
| Nergar | Flannel: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2899/ | 05:27 |
| noor | i need to separate a video file (avi) but i dont know hwo to | 05:27 |

| aram | to ask my remaining quistion | 05:27 |
| noor | download | 05:27 |
| Nergar | Flannel: yes, want to se my disk layout? | 05:27 |
| nickrud | Flannel, no, I just have a desktop. I had two breezy installs, one for me, one for troubleshooting here. | 05:27 |
| noor | aram: i downloaded X-chat | 05:27 |
| Schmick | aram: opening xchat will bring you back here. | 05:27 |
| aram | ok schmick i will come again now | 05:28 |
| sainzeo | aram: xchat is setup to automatically connect to this channel | 05:28 |
| Extravert | bazhang: When im decrypting a file, the console becomes filled with unicode and at the end the console becomes corrupted. | 05:28 |
| rainwalker | sainzeo: I didn't know that, cool | 05:28 |
| Flannel | Nergar: Please, yes. And, is this /boot/grub/menu.lst? or /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst? | 05:28 |
| noor | can some one help me split a .avi file? i need em in two parts | 05:28 |
| rainwalker | noor: two parts as in a beginning and end? | 05:28 |

| rainwalker | noor: you could check out kino or avidemux | 05:29 |
| guero | could someone help me get rmvb files to play properly? i've managed to get video playback but there's no sound. | 05:29 |
| wldx | thanks it works now | 05:29 |
| nickrud | Flannel, a chainloader for an ubuntu server? | 05:29 |
| aram_ | hi | 05:29 |
| etfb | !channels | 05:29 |
| ubotu | A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 05:29 |
| rainwalker | hey aram_ | 05:29 |
| aram_ | i am comming again | 05:29 |
| rainwalker | aram_: everything working? | 05:29 |
| Schmick | aram_: well done! | 05:29 |
| Flannel | nickrud: I'm a bit confused by that as well. Also the fact that his desktop and server are both on the same partition. | 05:29 |
| aram_ | ok i have got another problem with installing ubuntu | 05:30 |
| aram_ | yes every this is ok thanks a lot | 05:30 |
| noor | rainwalker: ill do that right now | 05:30 |
| aram_ | but the only problem is i can not type that much fast | 05:30 |
| aram_ | and you are all so fast | 05:30 |
| aram_ | :) | 05:30 |
| noor | aram: good job ^___^ | 05:30 |
| rainwalker | aram_: practice haha | 05:30 |
| Schmick | ok.. can you see the private message now?.. in the list on the left? | 05:30 |
| nickrud | Flannel, I could see using a server kernel on the same partition, same packages otherwise and all | 05:30 |
| jhhh | do i install xchat or xchat-gnome? | 05:30 |
| aram_ | that was what i was thinking about | 05:31 |
| rainwalker | aram_: also, if you need to type names really fast, you can start typing and press Tab and it will complete it for you | 05:31 |
| * GreySim thinks xchat-gnome is nicer, personally. | 05:31 | |
| rainwalker | jhhh: xchat | 05:31 |
| sainzeo | jhhh: i've found "xchat" to much more friendly to the eyes than "xchat-gnome" | 05:31 |
| robdig | jhhh: xchat | 05:31 |
| Nergar | Flannel: it is /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst (ubuntu). heres my disk: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2900/ | 05:31 |
| * nickrud holds up a cross towards GreySim | 05:31 | |
| rainwalker | jhhh: xchat-gnome is horrible | 05:31 |
| Flannel | nickrud: Theyre on separate partitions, or thats what he said. Except thats not what his grub reflects. It is what the contents of his /boot supports though | 05:31 |
| aram_ | rainwalker what does that mean | 05:31 |
| GreySim | Heh, I'm not surprised to be in the minority on that one actually. | 05:31 |
| aram_ | if i pres tab what would happen | 05:32 |
| * GreySim should've thought about that before making recommendations to others. | 05:32 | |
| NoorulIslaam | hey there's an Ubuntu Me . cool :D | 05:32 |
| rainwalker | aram_: if yo need to type out someone's name, like "rainwalker", instead of typing out the whole word you can type "rain" and press tab and it will finish the word for you | 05:32 |
| wldx | now i found a new error | 05:32 |
| wldx | error: *** termcap support not found | 05:32 |
| aram_ | rainwalker: thanks a lot | 05:32 |
| Schmick | aram_: TAB auto completes names of ppl in the chat | 05:32 |
| aram_ | thats is gera | 05:32 |
| aram_ | great | 05:32 |
| Flannel | Nergar: alright, this is what you need to change on your mounted boot's menu.lst, change lines 131 and 137 to be hd0,2 | 05:32 |
| aram_ | ok | 05:32 |
| rainwalker | aram_: yeah, it really helps :) | 05:32 |
| keithclark | robdig: Those instructions do not work, thanks. | 05:33 |
| sainzeo | rainwalker, never knew that either - thanks for the tip | 05:33 |
| Schmick | aram_: .. did you receive the private message now? | 05:33 |
| rainwalker | aram_: did you see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3978530#post3978530 | 05:33 |
| Flannel | nickrud: and then the other interesting thing is its actually trying to boot his home partition, for both of them (server is hd0,5, desktop is hd0,2) | 05:33 |
| aram_ | rainwalker: no | 05:33 |
| aram_ | how can i see it | 05:33 |
| rainwalker | sainzeo: you're welcome :) | 05:33 |
| rainwalker | aram_: click the link | 05:33 |
| Consty | is fedora a good platform for the redhat certifications? Or do I need the retail version? | 05:33 |
| jhhh | ok now | 05:33 |
| Flannel | Nergar: and I'm a bit amazed you've been able to boot your server at that, for the record. | 05:33 |
| jhhh | im all updated, i have xchat installed | 05:33 |
| aram_ | rainwalker: which link | 05:34 |
| jhhh | now -- how the hell do i get my external monitor to work :> | 05:34 |
| rainwalker | aram_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3978530#post3978530 | 05:34 |
| nickrud | Flannel, that is a world class interesting menu.lst | 05:34 |
| Nergar | Flannel: why? | 05:34 |
| ifireball | Consty: out of topic, but no, you need the real RHEL | 05:34 |
| Consty | ifireball: Sorry wrong channel.. meant to say it in #fedora :) | 05:34 |
| Flannel | Nergar: because you're trying to boot to your home partition, instead of your server one. | 05:34 |
| Consty | ifireball: Thanks though! | 05:34 |
| aram_ | rainwalker: i have opend it | 05:34 |
| keithclark | Any other ideas to get DVD playback to work? | 05:34 |
| nickrud | I've obviously missed a pastebin somewhere | 05:34 |
| Flannel | Nergar: hd0,6 is sda7, hd0,5 is sda5. If this works (the hd0,2), we need to make it permanent | 05:35 |
| zero0x | test | 05:35 |
| sainzeo | keithclark: have you tried using VLC? | 05:35 |
| Nergar | Flannel: lol! | 05:35 |
| rainwalker | aram_: that's just a thread about keeping your system up-to-date, and the different ways you can install software | 05:35 |
| aram_ | the other problem i have got is that i can not install ubuntu on my system | 05:35 |
| Nergar | Flannel: I pasted it wrong! | 05:35 |
| Flannel | nickrud: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2899/ and 2900 | 05:35 |
| zero0x | please help me i deleted /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/sis_drv.so and I need it BACK | 05:35 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, you still need some type of decoder, no? | 05:35 |
| rainwalker | aram_: why can't you install it? | 05:35 |
| zero0x | can any1 help me how to get my driver back ?? (now I'm running on vesa) | 05:36 |
| aram_ | when i try to install i put the ubuntu live cd and it will boot and i press enter to boot from cd | 05:36 |
| aram_ | and it says | 05:36 |
| sainzeo | keithclark: have you tried installing "ubuntu restricted extras" from Add/Remove? | 05:36 |
| nickrud | Flannel, if he booted of sda7 , it can't be home :( | 05:36 |
| aram_ | /bin/sh:cant access tty :job center turned off | 05:36 |
| _Casey_ | i did an update and now my sound isnt working | 05:36 |
| rainwalker | zero0x: want me to email a copy of mine to you? | 05:36 |

| noor | aram: did you try safe graphics mode? | 05:37 |
| zero0x | rainwalker: can I give you my email? | 05:37 |
| rainwalker | zero0x: pm your email address | 05:37 |

| _Casey_ | anyone? | 05:38 |
| aram_ | noor :try google to find an answer? | 05:38 |
| keithclark | sainzeo: Nothing there about a DVD decoder though | 05:38 |
| Flannel | Nergar: Interesting. Alright, well, you need to change the first stuff to hd0,5 then. Lines 131 and 137 "root (hd0,6)" is the current contents | 05:39 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, "Ubuntu restricted extras" is different than "Restricted Drivers Manager" | 05:39 |
| noor | aram: yeah it should help | 05:39 |
| Flannel | Nergar: and again, if that works, we need to make it permanent | 05:39 |
| Nergar | Flannel: ok, gona try | 05:39 |

| Nergar | Flannel: but why did it happened? | 05:42 |
| Flannel | Doctor_Nick: Define messed up? | 05:42 |

| sainzeo | keithclark, open a terminal window (Applications - Accessories - Terminal), then type vlc | 05:42 |
| _Casey_ | use modprobe | 05:43 |
| Alloos1 | hi, in windows I use traceroute domain, how about ubuntu? | 05:43 |
| aram_ | i want to learn the linux which is the best for networking | 05:43 |
| Doctor_Nick | Flannel: I'm getting the problem with not being able to boot after the kernel header upgrade, inconsistent filesystem structure | 05:43 |
| _Casey_ | and your wireless driver name | 05:43 |
| Myrtti | tracepath | 05:43 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, that should start VLC up - attempt to open a DVD and watch what the terminal displays when VLC crashes | 05:43 |
| Doctor_Nick | but my menu.lst has the correct values, correct drive and uuid | 05:43 |
| keithclark | vlc started but when I tried to open the disc, it just shut itself down | 05:43 |
| _Casey_ | mine is "modprobe ipw3945" | 05:43 |
| aram_ | could you help me which version is the best linux for networking and security | 05:43 |
| bazhang | _Casey_: it could be muted | 05:43 |
| jhhh | i like xchat btw | 05:43 |
| _Casey_ | no its not muted | 05:43 |
| Flannel | Doctor_Nick: I see. I imagine thats not a GRUB issue. If I had to pick something, that is. | 05:43 |
| Nergar | Flannel: haven't tried. | 05:43 |
| ifireball | Doctor_Nick: vesious stuff comes up when you do grub<tab> on terminal, I didn't try any of those so you'll need to research then a little with man/google | 05:43 |
| _Casey_ | keith | 05:43 |
| ogre | _Casey_, I have the same nic | 05:43 |
| jhhh | now plz get my external monitor working gurus :> | 05:43 |

| ubotu | aram_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. | 05:43 |
| _Casey_ | ogre | 05:43 |
| ifireball | Doctor_Nick: various* | 05:43 |
| _Casey_ | type "modprobe ipw3945" | 05:43 |
| neur1 | in xubuntu where is the volume ? tried adding an applet to the panel but it's a no-go | 05:43 |
| aram_ | no i mean the best os | 05:44 |
| _Casey_ | keithclark try xine | 05:44 |
| Nergar | Flannel: be right back | 05:44 |
| _Casey_ | sudo apt-get install xine-ui | 05:44 |
| aram_ | for example suse ,debian,ubuntu ,fedora | 05:44 |
| Doctor_Nick | has there been an official statement on these issues with not being able to boot after these upgrades, it seems that alot of people are getting htem | 05:44 |
| aram_ | i have mcse for windows xp | 05:44 |
| ogre | _Casey_, then what? | 05:44 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, i believe i know what the problem is but i'm trying to remember what the fix was...VLC will work fine though once we figure that out | 05:44 |
| aram_ | sorry windows 2003 server | 05:44 |
| Pelchflum | Anyone mind helping a n00b get their Siemens SS1022 USB working in Ubuntu? | 05:44 |
| greenmanspirit | ok, why is it when I plug headphones in sound comes out both the normal speakers and the headphones on my laptop | 05:44 |
| hockeyfan5000 | aram, hush..lol | 05:44 |
| aram_ | and just want to leran about linux as well | 05:44 |
| _Casey_ | it should be on | 05:44 |

| eddy | My system is simply screwed up, is there a way to use linux update even though I'm up to date? | 05:45 |
| Flannel | Nergar: Alright, well, if it does, you need to change line 74 the same way. That'll make it permanent. As it why it happened, I imagine something got crossed up in your server install that made it edit this boot instead. Why do you have two different installs anyway? They'll happily coexist on the same partition(s) | 05:45 |
| earthsound | is hotplugging of wacom tablets achievable in 7.10? i have read through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WacomTabletIssue and a few other resources & have only one problem: | 05:45 |
| aram_ | i just want to start from that one which is best for me any suggestion | 05:45 |
| aram_ | ? | 05:45 |
| _Casey_ | !hdaintel > _Casey_ | 05:45 |

| earthsound | the graphire 4 tablet is plugged into a monitor & when it comes back from power save mode, it loses it's "relative" mode | 05:45 |
| earthsound | aram_: what kind of networking are you trying to do? | 05:46 |
| aram_ | domain | 05:46 |
| Mini-Me | heya, very quick noob question for anyone who knows this: What file are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc... | 05:46 |
| hockeyfan5000 | aram_: Any linux version that uses TCP/IP should be good...;-) | 05:46 |
| aram_ | i know what do you mean | 05:46 |
| ifireball | aram_: "networking" is such a huge word, you have to be more specific | 05:46 |
| aram_ | but i heard that some one says for example | 05:46 |
| earthsound | aram_: like a domain controller? | 05:46 |
| eddy | is there a way to use linux update even though I'm up to date? (To download new system files) | 05:46 |
| aram_ | yes in two ways | 05:46 |
| Pelchflum | Does anyone know how to get a SS1022 wireless adapter working under Ubuntu 7.10? | 05:46 |

| sainzeo | keithclark, try typing in the terminal: sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 | 05:47 |
| ifireball | aram_: if you want it to "join your windows domain" Ubuntu may not be the best choice, it can do that it it lacks the tools to make it easy to accomplish | 05:47 |
| Pelchflum | thx | 05:47 |
| aram_ | for example the one which most people use them as server | 05:47 |
| aram_ | for big comapny | 05:47 |
| _Casey_ | gah i want my sound issue fixed | 05:47 |
| hockeyfan5000 | SUSE Enterprise is fairly popular | 05:48 |
| aram_ | that is the thing | 05:48 |
| earthsound | aram_: you can you samba or openLDAP | 05:48 |
| Memot | Can anyone tell me if i can run the downloaded version of Gutsy Ribbon as a live CD? | 05:48 |
| ifireball | aram_: most "big companies" use RedHat/Suse for "big servers" nowdays | 05:48 |
| aram_ | i want to start from the one which would be the best choise | 05:48 |
| earthsound | best choice depends on your skill level | 05:48 |
| aram_ | i have suse 10.3 | 05:48 |
| noor_ | i need help T___T on how to Corp a video | 05:48 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, what did that command do for you? | 05:48 |
| hockeyfan5000 | aram_: FreeBSD hehe | 05:49 |
| aram_ | sorry open suse | 05:49 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, i will try | 05:49 |
| eddy | how long until ubuntu updates? | 05:49 |
| aram_ | hockeyfan5000: what do you mean ? | 05:49 |
| greenmanspirit | ok, why is it when I plug headphones in sound comes out both the normal speakers and the headphones on my laptop | 05:49 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, already installed the latest version | 05:49 |
| _Casey_ | greenman | 05:49 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, damn...umm... | 05:49 |
| _Casey_ | be lucky, i have no sound anymore | 05:49 |
| earthsound | has anyone had any luck getting tablet input devices to keep their settings when the USB comes back up from power save, etc.? | 05:49 |
| Memot | Can anyone tell me if i can run the downloaded version of Gutsy Ribbon as a live CD? | 05:49 |
| noor_ | wait no not corp i just need help taking a scene from a video and just saving that scene | 05:49 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, it is not a total loss. I can always do video under pclos. | 05:50 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, video worked out of the box there. | 05:50 |
| aram_ | in other for example if try to work with ubuntu | 05:50 |
| ifireball | aram_: if you really want to learn to be a sysadmin, I suggest starting by reading a basic UNIX book that will teach you the basics of file permissions/devices/etc. | 05:50 |
| aram_ | and leran how to do things | 05:50 |
| Mini-Me | sorry to butt in, but I have a quick noob question: What files are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc... | 05:50 |
| aram_ | ifireball: thanks | 05:50 |
| T1m0thy | I have a gig of ram and 30/60 gb of space free on my hard drive, and a 1.5 gb swap partition. Firefox (most of the time) and other programs sometimes stop responding a lot and Pidgin sometimes randomly closes. Any ideas as to why this happens so much? Should I try Firefox 3? | 05:50 |
| Geoffrey2 | Memot, it depends on which version you downloaded....the server version can't, the desktop version IS a LiveCD | 05:50 |
| aram_ | i mean if i learn ubuntu would all the linux use same method | 05:51 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, I was warned about dvds and wireless in Ubuntu before installation. | 05:51 |
| aram_ | like some basic method | 05:51 |
| alain | hello again.. i installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run from there site.. and it mess up my display.. it wont detect the driver and displays 800x600 only.. how can i enable again the driver... plss | 05:51 |

| hola | hola | 05:51 |
| earthsound | Memot: yes. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 05:51 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, well i know it works fine as I've been using, but at the same time, I had your same problem and was able to fix it so I"m trying to remember what i did haha | 05:51 |
| aram_ | but i am new to linux and dont know any thing about it | 05:51 |
| ifireball | aram_: the basics are the same for all Linux/Unix systems | 05:51 |
| hockeyfan5000 | que pasa hola | 05:51 |
| _Casey_ | is there some command to reenable sound or something | 05:52 |
| === xara is now known as Liz | ||
| keithclark | sainzeo, thanks for trying. I had no issues with the wireless or my ATI card, so they were wrong about those two! | 05:52 |
| aram_ | ifireball: if i learn how to work with ubuntu would it be the same as suse | 05:52 |
| Flannel | !es | hockeyfan5000 | 05:52 |
| ubotu | hockeyfan5000: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 05:52 |
| ifireball | aram_: in so respects, yes | 05:52 |
| aram_ | ifireball: thanks a lot | 05:53 |
| ifireball | aram_: but there are differences, for example, package management is different | 05:53 |
| alain | hello again.. i installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run from there site.. and it mess up my display.. it wont detect the driver and displays 800x600 only.. how can i fix this | 05:53 |
| ifireball | aram_: but if you understand what "package management" is, learning a new system is easy | 05:53 |
| aram_ | ifireball: do you think ubuntu is nice one i mean good chose for me for start | 05:53 |
| aram_ | or no | 05:53 |
| tritium | alain: if you want support here, use the ubuntu packages, not nvidia .run files | 05:53 |
| aram_ | no i dont under stand | 05:54 |
| jhhh | hmm | 05:54 |
| Nergar | Flannel, back to my desktop!! | 05:54 |
| T1m0thy | I have a gig of ram and 30/60 gb of space free on my hard drive, and a 1.5 gb swap partition. Firefox (most of the time) and other programs sometimes stop responding a lot and Pidgin sometimes randomly closes. Any ideas as to why this happens so much? Should I try Firefox 3? | 05:54 |
| mrdinkles | i need to check which partition the other OS is on-- I.e (hd0, 1 or 2 or 3)-- any ideas? | 05:54 |
| tritium | aram_: yes, it is a very good choice to start with | 05:54 |
| jhhh | for the life of me i cant get my external monitor to work with this, does anyone have a similar situation?" | 05:54 |
| Memot | Wow | 05:54 |
| Mini-Me | sorry to butt in, but I have a quick noob question: What files are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc... | 05:54 |
| ifireball | aram_: its a good starting point because of the emphasis put on making stuff "just work" it'll mean you'll have to solve less problems on the get go | 05:54 |
| aram_ | ifireball: how can i find informatin about packege managment | 05:54 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, okay i think this is what I did to fix it...in the terminal, type: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh | 05:54 |
| Memot | Ubuntu is not even installed and my internet is faster. | 05:54 |
| alain | tritium: i want to use the restricted package again.. i enable it on the administration section but still wont fix.. | 05:55 |
| Geoffrey2 | aram_: personally, I'm still rather a newbie at linux, and I really like Ubuntu because you can set up a working system without having to learn a brand new language first | 05:55 |
| Memot | Naming of Ubuntu makes everything faster :P | 05:55 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, I tried that and got an error | 05:55 |
| bazhang | Memot: do you have a question? this is a support channel | 05:55 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, what was the error? | 05:55 |
| jhhh | oh, and another thing -- anyone know a ntfs file reader so i can access my ntfs partition and copy some files over? | 05:55 |
| ifireball | aram_: the same way you find information about anything nowdays... google :P or wikipedia maybe | 05:55 |
| aram_ | ifireball: hehe | 05:55 |
| T1m0thy | jhhh: ntfs-3g | 05:55 |
| aram_ | thank a lot | 05:56 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, command not found | 05:56 |
| Extravert | bazhang: found the solution! gpg --decrypt-files <file.gpg> | 05:56 |
| aram_ | ifireball: you know i have heard most of the people saying | 05:56 |
| jhhh | lol thats already installed and working...dumb of me :> | 05:56 |
| bazhang | Extravert: great news! | 05:56 |
| mrdinkles | i need to check which partition the other OS is on-- I.e (hd0, 1 or 2 or 3)-- any ideas? | 05:56 |
| aram_ | thats linux has much more security that windows | 05:57 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: sudo fdisk -l (thats a lower case L) | 05:57 |
| jhhh | now srsly, stop ignoring my plea for help with my external monitor :> google returns about 50000000000 hits on it :( | 05:57 |
| Extravert | bazhang: I think you have to use that when decypting archives | 05:57 |
| Memot | bazhang: I just asked something, i'm just commenting it, i am still here to ask any further questions. | 05:57 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, sorry about that, i made a mistake type this instead: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh | 05:57 |
| T1m0thy | I have a gig of ram and 30/60 gb of space free on my hard drive, and a 1.5 gb swap partition. Firefox (most of the time) and other programs sometimes stop responding a lot and Pidgin sometimes randomly closes. Any ideas as to why this happens so much? Should I try Firefox 3? | 05:57 |
| Nergar | Flannel, thanks for the help, i think the problem was in grub root (hd0,6) maybe thats what happened | 05:58 |
| aram_ | ifireball: like they say it is not that easy to hack as windows is | 05:58 |
| _Casey_ | can you uninstall the alsadrivers and reinstall them? | 05:58 |
| h1st0 | T1m0thy: do a memory test | 05:58 |
| _Casey_ | yes, no? | 05:58 |
| Flannel | Nergar: That is. Did you change it in line 74? That got changed, and then the update commited those changes to the menu itself. But, why do you have a separate server/desktop install anyway? | 05:58 |
| keithclark | sainzeo: No prebuilt binary available. Will try to build and install it. | 05:58 |
| keithclark | You need to have debhelper and fakeroot installed. | 05:58 |
| keithclark | If not, interrupt now, install them and rerun this script. | 05:58 |
| keithclark | This is higly experimental, look out for what happens below. | 05:58 |
| keithclark | If you want to stop, interrupt now (control-c), else press | 05:58 |
| keithclark | return to proceed | 05:58 |
| h1st0 | _Casey_: what is your problem exactly? | 05:58 |
| aram_ | is it possible to run domain controller on ubuntu | 05:58 |
| T1m0thy | h1st0: Okay. That should be in my GRUB menu, right? | 05:58 |
| Flannel | !paste | keithclark | 05:58 |
| ubotu | keithclark: 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) | 05:58 |
| keithclark | sainzeo....are you sure about this? | 05:59 |
| h1st0 | T1m0thy: yeah memtest should be one of the options in grub menu. Start there make sure your hardware is good. | 05:59 |
| _Casey_ | i did an update on ubuntu and now ubuntu wont recognize my sound, i have no options now | 05:59 |
| aram_ | like dhcp server ,dns server | 05:59 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, pretty sure | 05:59 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: Im updating my menu.lst to add another OS-- the partition is showing as /dev/sda2-- when putting the drive, will i label ass (sda0,2)?? | 05:59 |
| _Casey_ | its default on mute, and no sound at all | 05:59 |
| T1m0thy | h1st0: Alright, thanks. I'll try that tomorrow. | 05:59 |
| h1st0 | _Casey_: a distribution upgrade or just an update to the new kernel? | 05:59 |
| bazhang | Memot: sorry; just sometimes there are disruptive individuals around--my apologies | 05:59 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: No, just like a b c d start at 0; 1,2,3... start at zero as well in grub. So sda2 is hd0,1 | 05:59 |
| aram_ | does any one now | 05:59 |
| h1st0 | _Casey_: and did you ever install sound drivers before or it just worked out of the box? | 06:00 |
| aram_ | know if it is possible to run domain controller on ubuntu or ny | 06:00 |
| aram_ | not | 06:00 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: Okay, thats what i put in, but says invalid device O.o | 06:00 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel when i try and boot from grub | 06:00 |
| keithclark | sainzeo...nope, nothing worked there | 06:00 |
| h1st0 | aram_: like windows domain controller? | 06:00 |
| _Casey_ | i had to do the hdaintel thing to get my sound to work | 06:00 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: Are you mixing sata and ide drives, by any chance? | 06:00 |
| _Casey_ | then i did a normal ubuntu-update | 06:00 |
| aram_ | h1st0: yes | 06:00 |
| keithclark | sainzeo....Install debhelper and fakeroot | 06:00 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: honestly.. i have no clue | 06:00 |
| _Casey_ | and the sound isnt working | 06:00 |
| h1st0 | _Casey_: yeah the kernel updated so whatever you did before to get it to work you will probably have to do again. | 06:00 |
| biabia | hi. i installed dvd decrypter in wine but its not detecting my cdrom/dvdroms, and none of the interface options in devd decrypter make it detect the drives either. something to do with ASAPI or ATAPI | 06:00 |
| Nergar | Flannel, to try out the server and hava a backup install for emergencies like this one. i think the problem was caused when i removed and partition and i created it again | 06:00 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: title BackTrack | 06:00 |
| mrdinkles | root (hd0,1) | 06:00 |
| mrdinkles | makeactive | 06:00 |
| mrdinkles | chainloader +1| that whats in the menu.lst | 06:00 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: Alright, well, what partitions/harddrives do you have? | 06:01 |
| keithclark | sainzeo....no worries. I guess it was not meant to work on this machine. | 06:01 |
| h1st0 | _Casey_: or boot to the old kernel in the grub menu. | 06:01 |
| _Casey_ | no, i just went to update manager and installed the new stuff it had | 06:01 |
| Mini-Me | sorry to butt in, but I have a quick noob question: What files are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc... | 06:01 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, it has to work! | 06:01 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: pastebin (not here) the output of that fdisk -l | 06:01 |
| aram_ | ? | 06:01 |
| gluonman | For some odd reason I cannot get video to work right in Firefox. | 06:01 |
| h1st0 | _Casey_: yes and that was a kernel update | 06:01 |
| aram_ | h1st0 :? | 06:01 |
| _Casey_ | ahh ok | 06:01 |
| h1st0 | _Casey_: reboot your machine and hit esc at the grub menu select the old kernel and I bet your sound will work. | 06:01 |
| logan_ | #republican | 06:01 |
| gluonman | Can anyone help me diagnose and fix my problem? Video not working well in Firefox. | 06:01 |
| _Casey_ | can i just do the whole hdaintel thing again | 06:02 |
| h1st0 | aram_: like a microsoft domain controller? | 06:02 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, don't worry. You tried. It is not the only problem with Ubuntu. It takes over 3-4 minutes to boot is the biggest one. | 06:02 |
| mrdinkles | /dev/sda1 * 1 2404 19310098+ 83 Linux | 06:02 |

| h1st0 | _Casey_: yeap should work if it worked before. | 06:02 |
| aram_ | h1st0: yes | 06:02 |
| _Casey_ | ok well it takes a while, ima try it now | 06:02 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, For whatever reasons, pclos just seems to work on this laptop. I'm not sure why. | 06:02 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, hmm, ive experienced very good booting times, but who knows what's causing your problem | 06:02 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: ??? whats pastebin? | 06:02 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: please dont paste here. But, its because your next install/whatever is actually sda3, so hd0,2 is right | 06:02 |
| Flannel | !paste | mrdinkles | 06:02 |
| ubotu | mrdinkles: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 06:02 |
| h1st0 | aram_: not that I know of. But there are dns and dhcp server options availible. | 06:02 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, exactly. Ubuntu is just not going to work out on this laptop. | 06:02 |
| aram_ | ok thanks a lot | 06:03 |
| Nergar | anyhow thanks a lot Flannel | 06:03 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: sorry =/ had a feeling that was bad | 06:03 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, well, i'm sure there is a workaround, just can't figure it out at the moment :( wish you wouldn't give up on ubuntu so fast :P | 06:03 |
| aram_ | any one know if i can update from linux 7.04 to 7.10? | 06:03 |
| aram_ | ubuntu | 06:03 |
| h1st0 | keithclark: most likely it is just a driver issue if another distro works fine. | 06:03 |
| _Casey_ | ki have ubuntu on my laptop, i had to make it work right | 06:03 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: Now what was your reasoning for it being hdo2?? I thought i put the actual partition as the second one? | 06:03 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, life is short and I must move on. I was impressed with the rest though. Very impressive and responsive. | 06:03 |
| h1st0 | aram_: just dist upgrade with the update manager | 06:04 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, glad to hear it | 06:04 |
| h1st0 | !upgrade > aram_ (Please see the private message from ubotu) | 06:04 |
| Mini-Me | sorry to butt in, but I have a quick noob question: What files are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc... | 06:04 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, pclos has no 64 bit version which is one of the reasons why I tried ubuntu. | 06:04 |
| bigadam | Hey all | 06:04 |
| aram_ | h1st0: thanks a lot | 06:04 |
| h1st0 | aram_: np | 06:04 |
| aram_ | the other think for install my graphic card | 06:04 |
| h1st0 | aram_: what type of card | 06:05 |
| bigadam | I have a Ricoh Co Ltd R5C843 on gusty running on a Dell 6400 | 06:05 |
| aram_ | i dont know i can not install vmware toll | 06:05 |
| aram_ | too | 06:05 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, oh, so you're using the x64 version of ubuntu currently? maybe theres something with that...i run the 32bit because i've run into far less problems with it | 06:05 |
| aram_ | tool | 06:05 |
| bigadam | I can not seem to mount cards and nothing shows as fdisk -l | 06:05 |
| bigadam | why !? | 06:05 |
| h1st0 | aram_: lspci should tell you what type of video card | 06:05 |
| earthsound | Mini-Me: look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:05 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: No, counting starts at 0 in GRUB, and at 1 (or a) in linux. So sda1 is hd0,0 | 06:05 |
| ifireball | aram_: Samba (which is available on any Linux including Ubuntu) can act as an NT-compatible DC, the next Samba version should also be able to imitate a w2k AD | 06:05 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, I will stick with the 32 bit version of pclos for the time being. | 06:05 |
| aram_ | sorry i didnt get it | 06:06 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: so isnt the partition sda2 considered hd0,1? | 06:06 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, I wanted to take advantage of my 64 bit processor | 06:06 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, maybe you would be up for trying the 32bit version of ubuntu? :) | 06:06 |
| h1st0 | ifireball: really didn't know samba can act as dc nice | 06:06 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, yeah i hear ya | 06:06 |
| aram_ | because my graphic quality is so low | 06:06 |
| h1st0 | aram_: type lspci | grep VGA | 06:06 |
| h1st0 | aram_: in a console | 06:06 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: yes. But your other linux install is sda3 not sda2 | 06:06 |
| aram_ | and vmware saying that i need to install vmware tools | 06:06 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, I'm not sure that there is any difference, really, between pclos and ubuntu. Both are awesome from what I've seen. | 06:06 |
| aram_ | h1st0 : in where? | 06:06 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: But the partition with the OS is on sda2 =/ | 06:06 |
| h1st0 | aram_: do you need to use vmware because virtualbox is a nice alternative. | 06:06 |
| Mini-Me | earthsound: thanks, but I've tried looking in there, and I didn't find any settings obviously related to the acceleration or sensitivity :/ | 06:06 |
| h1st0 | aram_: in a terminal | 06:07 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: no its not. | 06:07 |
| aram_ | ok | 06:07 |
| aram_ | i mean i can not install virtual box | 06:07 |
| ifireball | h1st0: there is actually a nice HOWTO on HOWTO-Forge about accomplishing this with Ubuntu | 06:07 |
| h1st0 | aram_: applications > accessories > terminal then when it opens type in lspci | grep VGA | 06:07 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: how do you know lol? | 06:07 |
| aram_ | how can i install it? | 06:07 |
| h1st0 | ifireball: nice | 06:07 |
| aram_ | ye i know where it is thabks | 06:07 |
| h1st0 | !virtualbox > > (Please see the private message from ubotu) | 06:07 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: mrdinkles because you pasted your filesystem | 06:07 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: your godlike linux abilities are frightening | 06:07 |
| h1st0 | !virtualbox > aram_ (Please see the private message from ubotu) | 06:07 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: but i could have sworn the partition was second in line | 06:08 |
| aram_ | h1st0:when you send me a massage the color is yellow | 06:08 |
| h1st0 | aram_: because i'm typing your name first | 06:08 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, I don't see a real need to dual boot two comparable 32 bit o/s | 06:08 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: 22:02 < mrdinkles> /dev/sda3 2405 4676 18249840 83 Linux | 06:08 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, oh no, i def understand | 06:08 |
| h1st0 | Open a terminal and type in lscpi | grep VGA | 06:08 |
| h1st0 | aram_: ^^^^^^^^^ | 06:08 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: ima try it flannel, i trust you, you keep me warm in the winter | 06:08 |
| aram_ | ok if i get yellow means you are typing for me | 06:08 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: brb | 06:08 |
| h1st0 | aram_: yeapers | 06:08 |
| ifireball | aram_: yeah, when you want to tell someone something type their name, of the won't see your message in the flow of other messages | 06:08 |
| aram_ | and any one else type for me show yellow? | 06:08 |
| h1st0 | aram_: and when you type my name first it highlights the line for me. Its the way we keep track in a busy room like this. | 06:09 |
| aram_ | h1st0 :what does other color mean | 06:09 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, I just did some research in the background here and the DVD does seem to be a big downside to ubuntu. | 06:09 |
| Chris| | aram_ it depends on your client | 06:09 |
| h1st0 | aram_: dunno what color you are talking about and it depends on the client you are using. | 06:09 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, at least with what I've read online so far. | 06:09 |
| Geoffrey2 | for right now, fglrx is the driver I want for ATI cards, correct? | 06:10 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, i haven't really had many problems with the DVD stuff, other than what I thought your problem was :( | 06:10 |
| aram_ | h1st0: because i think ind just will be online every day a just want to know the secruts:d | 06:10 |
| ajmorris_ | uh oh, are there any freenode staff around? | 06:10 |
| sonja | how do i install this keyboard? http://freshmeat.net/projects/intdvorak_xkb/ | 06:10 |
| aram_ | h1st0: what blue mean ? | 06:10 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, it appears like people spend hours to get it working. | 06:10 |
| aram_ | does it mean any thing | 06:10 |
| warriorforgod | ajmorris_: why? | 06:10 |
| _Casey_ | ok time for reboot to see if sound works | 06:11 |
| aram_ | h1st0: | 06:11 |
| h1st0 | aram_: it depends on your client | 06:11 |
| aram_ | h1st0: what do you mean | 06:11 |
| _Casey_ | h1st0 wish me luck | 06:11 |
| aram_ | h1st0: what is my client? | 06:11 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, at least according to what Dell has been saying. They are going to implement some changes to their own distro of Ubuntu to solve the problem. | 06:11 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, with LinDVD I think. | 06:11 |
| ajmorris_ | warriorforgod: someone changed the pswd on my channel | 06:11 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, yeah i heard that too that it would be working out of the box from Dell | 06:11 |
| izanbardprince | just get libdvdcss | 06:11 |
| aram_ | h1st0: for example i receive blue ,purpule and load of color | 06:11 |
| bazhang | linDVD? wow | 06:11 |
| izanbardprince | and have at it | 06:11 |
| ajmorris_ | warriorforgod: are you a staffer? or do you know what teh command is to find the list of staff? | 06:11 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: I got the error needs a specific pathname | 06:11 |
| h1st0 | aram_: what ever program you are using to talk to us right now. | 06:12 |
| Mini-Me | sorry to butt in, but I have a quick noob question: What files are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc...I can't find any relevant settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, either :( | 06:12 |
| aram_ | ok | 06:12 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: how can i send you a print out of what i have int here without flooding? | 06:12 |
| aram_ | h1st0:how could i find this information ? | 06:12 |
| Flannel | Mini-Me: User configurations are all stored in your homedir (in the dotfiles in your homedir) | 06:12 |
| warriorforgod | ajmorris_: I would try in #freenode | 06:12 |
| Flannel | !paste | mrdinkles | 06:12 |
| ubotu | mrdinkles: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 06:12 |
| nickrud | sonja, system->prefs->keyboard, layouts. Hit the add button, and on the variants, choose dvorak | 06:12 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, Like I said, it's just what I read | 06:12 |
| ajmorris_ | warriorforgod: ah kewl, tks | 06:12 |
| nadio | Do I need PCI IDE Chipset support, for mobo IDE by any chance? | 06:12 |
| warriorforgod | ajmorris_: np | 06:12 |
| aram_ | h1st0: is there any source that i can learn about terminal command ? | 06:13 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, I know that pclos worked out of the box, but that was the 32 bit version. Not comparable here. | 06:13 |
| Flannel | !cli | aram_ | 06:13 |
| ifireball | Mini-Me: most of your preferences are in your home dir, the gnome stuff is under .gconf | 06:13 |
| ubotu | aram_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:13 |
| bazhang | sainzeo: get the package you want from www.medibuntu.org it's called libdvdcss2 the instructions are there to install it | 06:13 |
| nickrud | Mini-Me, the mouse conf is kept in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse | 06:14 |
| keithclark | bashang, it was me that was looking for help and that did not work | 06:14 |
| Mini-Me | Flannel: thanks - I'll poke around a bit more in there - in that case, are the sensitivity and acceleration specific to Gnome? | 06:14 |
| aram_ | h1st0: i know what do you mean i men how can i learn the codes | 06:14 |
| _Casey_ | ccongrats to me the alsa driver worked ;x | 06:14 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, did you see what bazhang wrote? | 06:14 |
| aram_ | h1st0: like any sources? | 06:14 |
| Mini-Me | ifireball: thanks to you, too :) | 06:14 |
| Flannel | Mini-Me: I imagine so, yes. Infact nickrud just told you exactly where | 06:14 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, i would try that | 06:14 |
| Mini-Me | nickrud: thanks to you, too :) | 06:14 |
| keithclark | bazhang, no big problem. | 06:14 |
| h1st0 | aram_: just google linux console howto | 06:14 |
| aram_ | h1st0:? | 06:15 |
| nickrud | Mini-Me, you should just back up all the dot files, that covers just about everything :) | 06:15 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, I tried that with no luck. | 06:15 |
| aram_ | h1st0: what does it mena | 06:15 |
| * AutoMatriX told you : I'll be back | 06:15 | |
| aram_ | h1st0: you mean i could search on google? | 06:15 |
| greenmanspirit | ok, why is it when I plug headphones in sound comes out both the normal speakers and the headphones on my laptop | 06:15 |
| aram_ | h1sto:i mean any book or learning matrial | 06:15 |
| aram_ | h1st0: any good source | 06:15 |
| ifireball | greenmanspirit: that really depends on your hardware... | 06:16 |
| sainzeo | greenmanspirit: when you plug your headphones in, try double-clicking the sound icon near the clock and look for a checkbox labeled "Front" - uncheck that and you shouldn' thear it out the front anymore | 06:16 |
| aram_ | h1st0: that could teach me linux from fundumental | 06:16 |
| Mini-Me | nickrud: well technically, I'm actually porting some settings over to a second box, so I'm not wanting to backup everything :) this is something I'll be doing on a regular basis as I move from house to house every few days (run a script to backup to a MyBook, then back to each computer). If I backed up ALL of home, I could run into some nasty version mismatch problems, especially if I try another distro :o | 06:16 |
| h1st0 | aram_: google | 06:16 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: How can i find the Pathname to that partition | 06:16 |
| aram_ | h1st0: thanks a lot | 06:16 |
| keithclark | sainzeo, like I said, thanks for your help here. I am not going to delete Ubuntu just yet. I will try for another day to solve the problems. | 06:17 |
| aram_ | could you please help me how could i type I | 06:17 |
| ifireball | aram_: http://www.linuxcommand.org/ <- a good place to start | 06:17 |
| sainzeo | keithclark, sounds good - sorry again i couldn't help ya out | 06:17 |
| greenmanspirit | sainzeo, I dont have a front option | 06:17 |
| aram_ | ifireball: thanks a lot | 06:17 |
| nickrud | Mini-Me, ah. Well, nearly all the gnome settings are kept in that dir. if you run gconf-editor, you can browse through the settings, and the tree on the left matches the directory structure. That way you can find what you want to carry over | 06:17 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: there is no pathname to that partition. the pathname is (hd0,2) You must need something else. Like root and kernel lines | 06:17 |
| greenmanspirit | what the weird thing is, it used to work | 06:18 |
| aram_ | i dont know who but some one send me a massage which how i could fix my graphic card | 06:18 |
| mrdinkles | Flannel: what should i put for Kernal? | 06:18 |
| aram_ | and it says to type lspci I grep vgn | 06:18 |
| Flannel | mrdinkles: That depends on what youre trying to boot. Really you should consult their documentation on all of that. | 06:18 |
| aram_ | i dont know how to type I because know i am using i letter | 06:18 |
| aram_ | the letter i need to type is near number 1 on keyboard | 06:19 |
| Mini-Me | nickrud: thanks! I'll check that out. Since mouse settings are specific to Gnome, that raises some interesting questions: If I installed KDE and Gnome, would the settings used depend on the active window (KDE or Gnome app) or the active desktop environment (i.e. if I run Amarok in Gnome, it would use Gnome's mouse settings)? | 06:19 |
| nickrud | Mini-Me, desktop settings | 06:19 |
| Flannel | Mini-Me: I suspect the latter | 06:19 |
| aram_ | can any one help please? | 06:19 |
| paxton | When I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set some of the video modes, NONE of them show up in screen resolution | 06:19 |
| paxton | What am i doing wrong? | 06:20 |
| bazhang | aram_: what is the problem? | 06:20 |
| Dombre | I have a problem. When trying to install my nvidea driver via the restricted drivers manager I got an error: you need to install the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server for this program to work. Upon searching for the package in synaptic I was unable to find it. I'm working with ubuntu 7.10 64bit. any ideas? | 06:20 |
| soldats | paxton, i did that as well and they didnt show up either but it worked so i left it | 06:20 |
| aram_ | bazhang: i just want to type I but using the key near number one on keyboard | 06:20 |
| nickrud | Dombre, run a different kernel. the server kernel doesn't have the video drivers | 06:20 |
| aso | http://milou.myminicity.com/ | 06:20 |
| aram_ | bozhang: i dont know how to do it | 06:21 |
| paxton | But my screen is still at 800X600 | 06:21 |
| aram_ | and i am using i letter currently | 06:21 |
| JensenDied | lame kernel update and modules changing... | 06:21 |
| paxton | I still cant see much and I just cannot get a higher resolution | 06:21 |
| bazhang | aram_: near number one? the ~ character? there are several near the 1 on the keyboard :} | 06:21 |
| aram_ | bazhang: yes | 06:21 |
| ifireball | Mini-Me: that really depends on how the particular setting is implemented, for example I expect mouse settings to be desktop-global, however theme settings may depend on which environment the app is built upon | 06:21 |
| soldats | paxton, when you selected the res setting did you use the spacebar to select it. if so it should have used the selected setting | 06:21 |
| alain | guys i enabled the restricted driver but wen i restart it says its running on low-graphics screen graphic card could not be detected... how can i fix this | 06:22 |
| paxton | yes I used the spacebar and it marked it with a star | 06:22 |
| soldats | wierd | 06:22 |
| paxton | then I hit tab then ok | 06:22 |
| aram_ | bazhang: because if i just press it ,it type ` and if i hold shift it type ¬ | 06:22 |
| bazhang | aram_: what keyboard layout do you have? qwerty? you may need to adjust that if so | 06:22 |
| aram_ | i can not type I | 06:22 |
| Dombre | nickrud: How does one go about changing there kernel, all I've ever done is used the automatic updater. | 06:22 |
| soldats | i havent done it in a wile id have to look at it, | 06:23 |
| aram_ | bazhang: it is dell and it is qwerty? | 06:23 |
| soldats | sorry but i gotta sleep | 06:23 |
| aram_ | how could i adjust it/ | 06:23 |
| aram_ | bazhang: how could i adjust it? | 06:23 |
| Mini-Me | nickrud, flannel, ifireball: thanks...I still haven't actually found my perfect sensitivity yet, but I'm working on it, and I was wanting to make sure I could transfer the settings back and forth between boxes. It's only a moderate concern with regular desktop stuff, but in Windows, I know that Windows mouse settings greatly affected sensitivity in games. Is this generally the case in Linux? Do Linux games tend to take into account d | 06:23 |
| Mini-Me | esktop environment mouse settings, or do they ignore them in favor of more direct input? | 06:23 |
| bazhang | aram_: is it qwery? are you asking me or telling me? check the keyboard layout settings and adjust if so | 06:23 |
| nickrud | Dombre, you can look for linux-generic in synaptic and install that. That will pull in a kernel that has restricted drivers, and the restricted drivers themselves. When you reboot, you would choose the generic kernel in the boot menu. If it says starting grub and you don't see a choice, press escape | 06:24 |
| aram_ | bazhang: it is qwerty | 06:24 |
| aram_ | bazhang: how could i do that in linux ubuntu | 06:24 |
| bazhang | aram_: what about language? it may be set to another language | 06:24 |
| aram_ | bazhang: uk | 06:24 |
| Dombre | nickrud thanks. | 06:24 |
| ifireball | Mini-Me: that depends on the game, many games use SDL which bypasses the DE to go directly to the GFX hardware and therefore may also ignore DE mouse settings | 06:25 |
| nickrud | Mini-Me, don't play many games in linux, so I don't have any opinion on that. I seem to have to change the settings to different values on different machines, though | 06:25 |
| ToddEDM | hey guys, im trying to get my wifi working, i just formatted and installed Ubuntu... now when i go into Restricted drivers, i see broadcom 43xx ... but when i try to enale it, it says that the software source for this package is not enabled.... could someone help me please <--noob | 06:25 |
| aram_ | ok thanks a lot every single thing was so useful | 06:25 |
| aram_ | thansk | 06:25 |
| aram_ | have good night | 06:25 |
| aram_ | bye | 06:25 |
| sainzeo | ToddEDM: sounds like software repositories aren't enabled - go to System - Administration - Software Sources | 06:26 |
| nickrud | ToddEDM, system->admin->software sources, make sure the first 4 items are selected | 06:26 |
| ifireball | Mini-Me: when it comes to mouse, there is a difference between where the settings are stored and what the actually are in runtime, what the DE does is store the settings in its own file, and send a command to Xorg to implement the settings when the DE starts | 06:26 |
| ToddEDM | Thanks guys... im trying it now | 06:27 |
| ifireball | Mini-Me: some games change the mouse settings with a similar command when they start up | 06:27 |
| mempman | does anybody know of ALSA-driver respository online somewhereee? | 06:27 |
| ifireball | Mini-Me: games may also run in different screen resolution which would require different settings | 06:27 |
| mochaRHW | Has anyone using Ubuntu ever seen the Gnome menus get totally corrupted? | 06:28 |
| paxton | can someone tell me how to install "`xserver-xorgxrandr"? | 06:28 |
| paxton | its a package I think | 06:28 |
| mempman | anybody..? | 06:28 |
| Mini-Me | ifireball, that makes sense - I had kind of been wondering why the settings were Gnome-specific (and not in xorg.conf). That's a good sign for games, though - it would definitely be a comforting thought if I knew that the same settings in "game x" resulted in the same control on different systems | 06:28 |
| amedx | maybe I | 06:28 |
| ifireball | mempman: the alas developers site has a huge repository with compatibility charts/etc. | 06:28 |
| Mini-Me | ifireball - of course, nickrud has apparently had different experiences, so either my hopes are misplaced or it's very game-dependent | 06:28 |
| paxton | does anyone have the package`xserver-xorgxrandr? | 06:28 |
| bazhang | mempman: a google search turned up nothing? would you like me to try my google-fu? | 06:29 |
| ifireball | mempman: alsa* | 06:29 |
| mempman | yes alsa | 06:29 |
| mempman | im looking for debian repository for latest release | 06:29 |
| mempman | so that i can install via package manager | 06:29 |
| amedx | how install java jre in ubuntu 64 bits? | 06:29 |
| bazhang | paxton: an apt-cache search xserver will give you a list of packages; packages.ubuntu.com will show some items as well | 06:30 |
| nickrud | Mini-Me, no, nothing ifireball disagrees with what I said, I'm talking about different screen sizes, different base sensitivity of mice, that kind of thing. Not how the software messes around on top of that | 06:30 |
| amedx | i hate 64 bits version | 06:30 |
| biabia | hi. i installed dvd decrypter in wine but its not detecting my cdrom/dvdroms, and none of the interface options in devd decrypter make it detect the drives either. something to do with ASAPI or ATAPI | 06:30 |
| sonja | how do i set my mouse wheel to scroll more text at a time in firefox? | 06:31 |
| ifireball | Mini-Me: actually, you can place mouse settings in xorg.conf but gnome/kde will override them (other DEs may not though) | 06:31 |
| Mini-Me | nickrud - good point - I forgot about how different mouse hardware behaves differently | 06:31 |
| macogw | what does this mean? Dec 21 01:31:41 downstairs kernel: [ 481.661554] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table | 06:31 |
| amedx | ciao bambini | 06:31 |
| TNDT | hey, im having problems with the temperature on my acer laptop, and i was just wondering what kind of temperature monitoring and fan control software there is out there | 06:32 |
| ToddEDM | hey guys , i was having problems withthat broadcom 43xx driver... well i checked those 4 boxes in Software sources, still same thing... i cant get it working | 06:32 |
| Mini-Me | nickrud: I just noticed the directory you led me to has an xml file with mouse settings, but it only mentions accleration (and a few other settings), not sensitivity. How did you locate this in the first place? I might have to do a bit more poking around in the same general area... | 06:32 |
| nickrud | amedx, I used this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 | 06:32 |
| drgeb | what does this mean ? (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-1 | 06:33 |
| nickrud | Mini-Me, use that gconf-editor I mentioned. Only the things you actually changed will show up there | 06:33 |
| nickrud | drgeb, it means that when X tried to read the monitor specs directly from the monitor, it couldn't | 06:34 |
| drgeb | why is X trying to do this and can I turn this off ? | 06:34 |
| nickrud | ToddEDM, is that machine on the net? | 06:34 |
| nickrud | ToddEDM, I think it needs to be to download the firmware | 06:34 |
| Mini-Me | nickrud: oh, right...and actually, the sensitivity might be in there after all, if it's "motion_threshold" - I'll install that package right now though. | 06:34 |
| ToddEDM | no... i cant get my wifi working, thats what the driver is for | 06:35 |
| nickrud | Mini-Me, it's already installed, just run it from the terminal. Or, right click the menu bar and turn on the menu item | 06:35 |
| Mini-Me | hehe | 06:35 |
| Mini-Me | nickrud: just noticed that :) | 06:35 |
| ToddEDM | ok , actually i think i have it on a usb stick here somewhere .... maaaaaybe, i think i did that last time | 06:35 |
| nickrud | Mini-Me, under apps->system | 06:35 |
| drgeb | nickrud why is X trying to do this and can I turn this off ? | 06:36 |
| ifireball | drgeb: you can turn that off by adding Option "UseEdid" "false" to your "Device" section in xorg.conf | 06:36 |
| nickrud | !wifi | ToddEDM then you'll need this page, there are instructions on how to do it on an unconnected machine | 06:36 |

| nickrud | drgeb, see ifireball :) | 06:37 |
| ifireball | drgeb: that is, assuming you use Nvidia | 06:37 |
| nickrud | ToddEDM, unless you can wire it up temporarily (that's what I did) | 06:37 |
| drgeb | ifireball yes I am using nvidia and amd64 and I am having many strange issues with gdm login in using compiz and mythtv frontend | 06:38 |

| TNDT | hey, im having problems with the temperature on my acer laptop, and i was just wondering what kind of temperature monitoring and fan control software there is out there | 06:38 |
| drgeb | nickrud ifireball let me reboot and see if this first solves this worning brb | 06:39 |
| ifireball | drgeb: I suspect the EDID thing may just be a side-effect and not the main problem then | 06:39 |
| amidaniel|away | TNDT: Look at sensors and gkrellm | 06:39 |
| nickrud | drgeb, no need to reboot, just log out and back in | 06:39 |
| ifireball | drgeb: no need to reboot, just restart GDM | 06:39 |
| paxton | I need a package called lbxutil aparently and there is nothing on google/ubuntu | 06:39 |
| ifireball | nickrud: log/out/in may not actually restart X (it depends...) | 06:40 |
| TNDT | ok, thanks amidaniel|away | 06:40 |
| nickrud | ifireball, does here, but you're right to suggest gdm restart. I sometimes mention the three finger salute just in case | 06:40 |
| paxton | how can I get the package lbxutil? | 06:40 |
| bazhang | amidaniel|away: you might want to change your nick from away... | 06:40 |
| AJ | guys in enable the restricted driver.. but i still get low-graphic mode.. it says screen graphic cant detect hardware... how can i fix this | 06:41 |
| ifireball | nickrud: like I said, it depends, I also seen it change between Ubuntu versions... but yeah, 3-finger works | 06:41 |
| * amidaniel|away is away, I swear! :) | 06:41 | |
| nickrud | paxton, do you mean xutil ? | 06:41 |
| paxton | Yes | 06:41 |
| paxton | is there an apt-get for that? | 06:41 |
| Mini-Me | nickrud, ifireball, flannel: thanks guys - that's all I needed, and it's time for bed now! :) | 06:42 |
| nickrud | paxton, it is already, it's a normal part of X . Are you trying to compile something? | 06:42 |
| paxton | yes | 06:42 |
| nickrud | ifireball, that's why I mention the three finger, I still see breezy now and then here | 06:43 |
| AJ | guys in enable the restricted driver.. but i still get low-graphic mode.. it says screen graphic cant detect hardware... how can i fix this | 06:43 |
| paxton | No package 'lbxutil' found | 06:43 |

| nickrud | ifireball, lol, yes, that's how I got sucked in, that and media :) | 06:43 |
| pazu | Hi everyone. I would like to know if anyone here know how to perform the proper procedure in order to save settings to USB while running Ubuntu 7.10 LiveCD persistence (on CD) | 06:44 |
| nickrud | AJ, which restricted driver? | 06:44 |
| pazu | I tried the online community document but no luck. | 06:44 |
| AJ | nickrud: nvidia | 06:44 |
| bazhang | pazu: you should check out pendrivelinux.com for that | 06:44 |
| nickrud | AJ, I don't know nvidia, I'm ati only these days | 06:44 |
| pazu | i actually checked out the fix offer by pendrivelinux, but still nothing. but if i plug that USB with a 6.06.1 ubuntu, it works | 06:45 |
| bazhang | pazu: I would suspect that the error is on your end; those folks really know their stuff--I have botched a usb key deal many a time before getting it right | 06:46 |
| fwaokda | im having to do: "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" && "sudo depmod -a" everytime i boot up to make my wireless work does anyone know a way around this? | 06:46 |
| ifireball | AJ: lets start with the basics, which Nvidia card do you have? | 06:46 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, add ndiswrapper on a line by itself in /etc/modules | 06:46 |
| AJ | gforceFX | 06:46 |
| AJ | ifireball: nvidia GeForceFx | 06:47 |
| ifireball | AJ: ok, you're getting to the failsafe screen? | 06:47 |
| fwaokda | nickrud: alright im new to all this but let me take a peek at it and see if i can figure it out! ty | 06:47 |
| AJ | yes | 06:47 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, soon as you see it, you'll see example lines :) | 06:47 |
| ifireball | AJ: can you paste the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log to pastebin? | 06:48 |
| AJ | it says ubuntu is running on low graphic mode..screen graphic cant detect device | 06:48 |
| pazu | bazhang: alright. is there a way to check which part having the error during the process? because i followed their step competely, even the fixed from pendrivelinux - having to create a new modified OS LiveCD. Everything is covered up by graphic, i couldn't find anywhere to tell me the error | 06:48 |
| AJ | k wait | 06:48 |
| fwaokda | nickrud: did you mean /etc/modutils ? | 06:48 |
| fwaokda | nickrud: i dont have a /etc/modules | 06:48 |
| fwaokda | errr nvrmind | 06:48 |
| pazu | I am sure the USB i created is right, because it work off the bat with Ubuntu 6.06.1 LiveCD | 06:48 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, i made a goof | 06:48 |
| bazhang | pazu: you want to boot from usb? or install from usb? or something other | 06:49 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, used to be, that file had *lots* of entries, someday it might actually disappear for real :) | 06:49 |
| pazu | bazhang, I want to right from CD, but only save the setting to USB. | 06:49 |
| pazu | bazhang, I want to run from CD, but only save the setting to USB. | 06:49 |
| bazhang | pazu: okay; boot from livecd and save to usb? is that the gist of it? | 06:50 |
| pazu | bazhang: i created my casper-rw usb using Ubuntu 7.10, but couldn't make it work. but if i put in my 6.06.1 CD, it work with that USB | 06:50 |
| ifireball | AJ: xorg.conf as well please | 06:50 |

| Ali_ix | Scusio: what is your connection type? | 07:16 |
| fwaokda | devilin, if you dont add it to modules then you have to do modprobe ndiswrapper or something like that to get it to pick up | 07:16 |
| Ali_ix | Scusio: adsl, local network, wireless? | 07:16 |

| andy_ | ifireball_: do you know of an IRC channel that is dedicated to sniffing and web security? | 07:16 |
| devilin | fwaokda, i see.... that is what i did the first time i got this laptop to work.... i will have to look up the ndiswrapper setup section in the forums again i suppose. | 07:16 |
| Ali_ix | steelwolf: what is file name? does the two hidden files start with "."? do you set any extra rule in apache conf? | 07:17 |
| ifireball | andy_: nope | 07:17 |

| daryl_ | hey guys, I removed compiz from my system but now there is no window manager starting only gnome, I have to force metacity to launch, how do I fix this? | 07:18 |
| Scarey | andy_, yes.. lots | 07:18 |
| keitherz | whats the package name for gtk+2 | 07:18 |
| Ali_ix | steelwolf: no idea, try the #ubuntu-server channel :) | 07:18 |
| macd | daryl_, add it to your session | 07:18 |
| ifireball | andy_: you name it... | 07:18 |
| hunteke | question re: the new init: does it actually improve startup time? | 07:18 |
| nickrud | keitherz, should be gtk+2.0 | 07:18 |
| fwaokda | im trying to install avant-window-navigator but its giving me an error about unmet dependencies... how do i get around this? | 07:18 |
| redd0t | i also tried to use fedora, but i got tired of it too quickly | 07:18 |
| macd | System --> preferences --> sessions | 07:18 |
| daryl_ | macd, is there a non gui way of doing this? | 07:18 |
| redd0t | and knoppix was my first | 07:18 |
| andy_ | red0t: i have used suse, fedora, ubuntu, and knoppix | 07:18 |
| keitherz | no it wont work nickrud | 07:19 |
| Ali_ix | !flashissues | 07:19 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. | 07:19 |
| andy_ | oh and mandriva | 07:19 |
| devilin | fwaokda, ok cool thanks for the help i am off to find the ndiswrapper i used before.... i think i will ask around here for someone to give em a hand two but hearing that you used ndiswrapper was very helpful | 07:19 |
| hunteke | I know the event based system makes things easier to deal with devices that are constantly coming and going, but how about speed of startup and shutdown | 07:19 |
| redd0t | oooo suse.. i used to get into arguements with my housemate over mandriva. | 07:19 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, system->admin->software sources, enable the first 4 items | 07:19 |
| hunteke | I haven't noticed a significant speedup on my box | 07:19 |
| hunteke | any one else? | 07:19 |
| macd | daryl_, umm, off hand I'm not sure, most likely, .xsession | 07:19 |
| daryl_ | OK | 07:19 |
| daryl_ | THANKS | 07:19 |
| andy_ | i love fedora, but it does not offer great wireless support | 07:19 |
| fwaokda | devilin, np gluck i'll be around i think for awhile maybe there is something else i remember that might help you | 07:19 |
| andy_ | i run fedora 8 on my desktop | 07:20 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, ok i'll try that | 07:20 |
| nickrud | keitherz, system->admin->software sources, enable the source repo | 07:20 |
| devilin | can anyone help me set up ndiswrapper to use a windows driver to get my broadcom43xxx wireless adapter to work | 07:20 |
| Symmetria | whats the ubuntu offtopic channel? | 07:20 |
| glaucous | I need some help with crontab, my entries don't seem to be running :( | 07:20 |
| redd0t | i always get tired of fedora after like 3 hours | 07:20 |
| odracir34 | wtf is fedora 8 | 07:20 |
| Scusio | euhm | 07:20 |
| ifireball | macd: .xsession != gnome session... making such a file will probably break his system... | 07:20 |
| andy_ | it is a different linux opperating system | 07:20 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, the first four are already checked :( | 07:20 |
| Memot | odracir34: different Linux OS | 07:20 |
| odracir34 | i see | 07:21 |
| redd0t | last time i think it was the no filesystem support for xfs by default. and kde wasnt in the default repos | 07:21 |
| keitherz | oh poof i forgot i disable it | 07:21 |
| FAJALOU4197 | im wondering about mp3's and ubuntu. | 07:21 |
| Scusio | Ali_ix: im connected through i router | 07:21 |
| odracir34 | and what is the problem woth ot | 07:21 |
| andy_ | odracir34: are you new to linux? | 07:21 |
| Scusio | home network | 07:21 |
| FAJALOU4197 | relatively | 07:21 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, strange, I got it just fine. do sudo aptitude install avant-window-navigator in a terminal, and put all the error stuff on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 07:21 |
| odracir34 | yes i'm | 07:21 |
| glaucous | does cron keep a log or something? my entries aren't running | 07:21 |
| fwaokda | k | 07:21 |
| odracir34 | i have now running the 7.10 ubuntu desktop | 07:22 |
| redd0t | yeah, i keep coming back to ubuntu. | 07:22 |
| Ali_ix | Scusio: ok, how to you get IP in windows? dhcp? or static ip? if it is static one, you should set ip, gateway and dns settings in ubuntu, so you can access network and internet | 07:22 |
| === ajmorris_ is now known as krakz0r | ||
| andy_ | odracir34: you might fall in love with it enough to dump windows | 07:22 |
| odracir34 | and i have found al my tools i need to do illegaal stuf | 07:22 |
| andy_ | lol | 07:22 |
| redd0t | hahah | 07:22 |
| Ali_ix | glaucous: cron can mail the user on failuers | 07:22 |
| andy_ | odracir34: hacking? | 07:23 |
| redd0t | for that i just try to watch a dvd in mplayer | 07:23 |
| tabman | redd0t: here is a reported problem with some mouse, after a kernel upgrade whether its Ubuntu or OpenSUSE, the mouse cannot control the cursor, I don't know if its a driver issue or what ? | 07:23 |
| odracir34 | i have dumpt windows | 07:23 |
| liyang_ | andy_: If I didn't have to use Aperture I'd dump OS X, with the new Compiz in Gutsy. | 07:23 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, ok that worked. whats the differ between what you got me to type and this "sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator" | 07:23 |
| Ali_ix | !cron | 07:23 |
| ubotu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 07:23 |
| glaucous | Ali_ix: thanks, but it's not even doing a touch | 07:23 |
| liyang_ | (that was a lie.) | 07:23 |
| odracir34 | i have format it | 07:23 |
| odracir34 | i only use ubuntu | 07:23 |
| FAJALOU4197 | mp3s | 07:23 |
| Ali_ix | !cron > glaucous | 07:23 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, nothing , they both do the same thing. If one works, the other should | 07:23 |
| ifireball | andy_: I think he means watching DVDs, playing MP3s, etc... | 07:23 |
| FAJALOU4197 | what do you convert them to in ubuntu. | 07:23 |
| glaucous | Ali_ix: I've read the howtos | 07:23 |
| odracir34 | its easy to work with. | 07:23 |
| odracir34 | little diffrent | 07:24 |
| Ali_ix | glaucous: well, what is your command? | 07:24 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, just different front ends to the package management system | 07:24 |
| redd0t | tabman: okay. what mouse do you have. run lsmod and tell me what you see | 07:24 |
| kenboo | can I remove tracker package safely? | 07:24 |
| === krakz0r is now known as ajmorris_ | ||
| Ali_ix | glaucous: do you have the right syntax in file for times? | 07:24 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: ogm | 07:24 |
| Varka | odracir34, but at least you can't smoke it ;) | 07:24 |
| glaucous | Ali_ix: * * * * * /usr/bin/touch /tmp/crontest | 07:24 |
| nickrud | kenboo, yes | 07:24 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, hmm well yours did i think... i cant find it though lol | 07:24 |
| macd | glaucous, have you looked at /var/log/syslog, it shows the cron runs | 07:24 |
| odracir34 | Varka: yes | 07:24 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifireball: i don't use ubuntu, but i have an mp3 player and was wondering if it would work | 07:24 |
| Memot | Is there any way to isten to mp3 in Ubuntu? | 07:24 |
| liyang_ | (Compiz, or rather, its setup tool is still a bit buggy; but I'm impressed. Well done Canonical et al.) | 07:24 |
| glaucous | macd, I'll go check that out, thanks | 07:24 |
| Ali_ix | glaucous: * * * * *? are you sure? :} | 07:24 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, in that same terminal, type avan<tab> <-- hit the tab key | 07:24 |
| andy_ | ifireball_: oh? lol. i will be an Computer Science major, but i have to get in my hacking spree every now and then. It has gotten better though | 07:24 |
| kenboo | nickrud: thanks. this makes my machine so slow. | 07:24 |
| macd | !mp3 > Memot | 07:24 |
| odracir34 | my english is not o good , i'm from holland the land of the weed and paddo's | 07:25 |
| nickrud | kenboo, I don't use it either | 07:25 |
| glaucous | Ali_ix, that's every minute, right? | 07:25 |
| Ali_ix | glaucous: * * * * * mean every second. minute, hour, day and month :} | 07:25 |
| FAJALOU4197 | notice ifireball:test | 07:25 |
| redd0t | memot: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-mad or maybe its fluendo-mp3 | 07:25 |
| glaucous | oh :) | 07:25 |
| glaucous | well, it still isn't working every second | 07:25 |
| Ali_ix | glaucous: :) | 07:25 |
| kenboo | nickrud: ah. hehe. | 07:25 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: yeah, I don't think I understand what you're asking for | 07:25 |
| tabman | redd0t: I'm not on linux right now as its so difficult to the use the OS with a not working mouse | 07:25 |
| genesis | hello all where do I put my downloads for my motherboard at on ubuntu 7.04? | 07:25 |
| macd | glaucous, yeah 1 * * * * is every minute | 07:25 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, nothing happens just a beep, after looking at the terminal after i type what you said it said it didn't find any packages | 07:26 |
| redd0t | tabman: what mouse do you have | 07:26 |
| odracir34 | do i need a virus scanner for ubuntu or is o it so save im dont need it ? | 07:26 |
| glaucous | ok, but it isn't touching the file no matter how often it's supposed to | 07:26 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifireball; ok so i have a creative mp3 player, do you know if they work on ubuntu, and what do you use to play mp3s on ubuntu? | 07:26 |
| tabman | redd0t: iits a normal laser mouse | 07:26 |
| redd0t | tabman: what brand and model | 07:26 |
| tabman | redd0t: 3D Optical Mouse | 07:26 |
| Scusio | lol @ virusscanner | 07:26 |
| andy_ | odracir34: you do not need a virus scanner, but clamv makes a nice one | 07:26 |
| B | list c++ | 07:26 |
| ifireball | andy_: why don't you try doing something useful, like writing better AD support for Ubuntu... | 07:26 |
| tabman | redd0t: Twiser, chinese made | 07:27 |
| odracir34 | i see | 07:27 |
| redd0t | hmm.. | 07:27 |
| Ali_ix | glaucous: try this for every five minutes: */5 * * * * | i was wrong about second, it starts with minute | 07:27 |
| redd0t | tabman: hang on | 07:27 |
| odracir34 | and do i need a forrewall? | 07:27 |
| macd | glaucous, is that cron running as root? though I think /tmp would be fine as any users | 07:27 |
| odracir34 | firrewall | 07:27 |
| glaucous | macd: I want it to run as root, yes. currently it isn't running at all :( | 07:27 |
| macd | glaucous, k, so your editing crontab as root right? | 07:27 |
| tabman | redd0t: sure | 07:27 |
| glaucous | macd: sudo crontab -e | 07:28 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, one minute, my mind is sleepy | 07:28 |
| andy_ | ifireball: well, ... that might be an idea. Looking through the colleges packets might be interesting and educational also... :) | 07:28 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: I use Exile media player, the built-in players totem an rythmbox can also play MP3s with the right codecs installed | 07:28 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, np | 07:28 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifireball: do you know if that's compatible with most mp3 players | 07:28 |
| redd0t | tabman: in windows, does this mouse require special drivers, or does it run off of the generic mouse driver | 07:28 |
| macd | glaucous, let me try what your doing one sec, this a gutsy box? | 07:29 |
| tabman | redd0t: generic mouse driver | 07:29 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: that really depends on your player, if it has mass USB storage support it'll be no problem | 07:29 |
| glaucous | macd: yes, gutsy | 07:29 |
| _Casey_ | how come i cant "modprobe -r ipw3945" and switch to ipwraw | 07:29 |
| macd | works for me | 07:29 |
| andy_ | redd0t, he might be using a bluetooth mouse that needs interface support | 07:29 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: I suppose you should just try it with the live-CD | 07:29 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifireball: usb storage? no it's a harddrive player. | 07:29 |
| Pelchflum | I'm trying to blacklist prism2_usb so ndiswrapper won't spot it. I made the blacklist-prism2_usb file in modprobe.d, but to no avail. Can anyone give me advice? Thanks. | 07:29 |
| kraut | moin | 07:29 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifireball: true true. | 07:29 |
| macd | sudo crontab -e, then */1 * * * * /usr/bin/....... | 07:29 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, doh, I had to add another repository to install it. I did sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list , and added the line: deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ gutsy avant-window-navigator . This is a third party repo, it's not signed so you will get a warning about authentication. Use at your own risk. | 07:29 |
| redd0t | tabman: is it a bluetooth mouse? | 07:29 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, k let me try that | 07:30 |
| tabman | redd0t: it used to work fine with older version of linux, the problem is with the newer versions I guess its to do with the kernel upgrade, no its not bluetooth mouse, connected through PS/2 | 07:30 |
| glaucous | macd: ok, I added the /1. I'll tell you in a minute if it works better | 07:30 |
| _Casey_ | what all wifi apps are there | 07:30 |
| glaucous | but my real crons aren't running either | 07:30 |
| ToddEDM | ok another question guys... whats the easiest way to get all the plugins i will need to view stuff on the internet | 07:30 |
| andy_ | _Casey_ what are you talking about? | 07:30 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: mass USB storage support means it works like a USB pen drive, it doesn't have to be harddrive-based | 07:31 |
| tabman | redd0t: I used it fine with ubuntu 6.06 | 07:31 |
| _Casey_ | andy_ the ipw3945 question or after? | 07:31 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifireball: my mp3 player is harddrive | 07:31 |
| Memot | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras to be able to play MP3, DVD, Flash, Quicktime, WMA and WMV. | 07:32 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, ok now after adding that line i do the cmd from earlier? | 07:32 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: well, like I said, just try it, that'll give you the best answer | 07:32 |
| _Casey_ | andy_ ? | 07:32 |
| andy_ | _Casey_ : gotcha | 07:32 |
| nickrud | !restricted | ToddEDM | 07:32 |
| redd0t | tabman: and you upgraded to 7.10 and it didnt? it might be a problem with your xorg. | 07:32 |
| ubotu | ToddEDM: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 07:32 |
| andy_ | thinking.... | 07:32 |
| fwaokda | it still says 0 packages instaled | 07:32 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifireball: ok, live cd you find that on the main site? | 07:32 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install avant-window-navigator | 07:32 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: yes. | 07:32 |
| redd0t | tabman: xorg.conf | 07:32 |
| redd0t | tabman: sry its getting late. | 07:32 |
| _Casey_ | i want to unload the ipw3945 driver and load ipwraw but it wont let me | 07:33 |
| andy_ | sleep is for newbs.... lol | 07:33 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifireball: ok thank you, what about windows games, is there like an emulator or something? | 07:33 |
| tabman | redd0t: yeah it didn't work after upgrade either on Ubuntu or openSUSE 10.3, what is xorg.conf ? what to do with it | 07:33 |
| _Casey_ | faj | 07:33 |
| _Casey_ | use wine | 07:33 |
| * nickrud is going to bed in ... 10 minutes | 07:33 | |
| _Casey_ | winehq.org | 07:33 |
| glaucous | macd: it appears I didn't have a line break after that line so it didn't take. I can't think of any situation where that behaviour would be desireable | 07:33 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, still no worky | 07:33 |
| redd0t | tabman: hmmm..... xorg.conf is the configuration file for the xorg server | 07:34 |
| thyko | hi | 07:34 |
| thyko | what can one not 'apt-get' on ubuntu64 right now? | 07:34 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: that a hit or miss thing, some games work with wine (the emulator), some don't, some have native Ubuntu versions, it really depends on the game | 07:34 |
| redd0t | tabman: it resides in /etc | 07:34 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, says no candidate version found | 07:34 |
| tabman | redd0t: and what do you want me to do with it ? | 07:34 |
| redd0t | tabman: idk.. im thinking | 07:34 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, did you do aptitude update ? | 07:34 |
| fwaokda | yes | 07:34 |
| macd | glaucous, nor can I, maybe you should test it again and submit a bug on launchpad.net/ubuntu | 07:34 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifireball: ok thank you, where are those found? | 07:34 |
| Memot | !google wine halo pc | 07:35 |
| glaucous | macd: but my two real entries above it still don't work :( :( | 07:35 |
| Memot | :-( | 07:35 |
| thyko | anyone on amd64 here? | 07:35 |
| fwaokda | me | 07:35 |
| chraso | where should i paste some outpur lines? | 07:35 |
| fwaokda | thyko, meh | 07:35 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: there are games in the "Add/Remove" application in Ubuntu, also there is a lot of information in the Ubuntu wiki about games | 07:36 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, bummer. I just check for myself, and they've taken the package out of the repo. Sorry for the red herring, I got it less than a week ago | 07:36 |
| fwaokda | :( | 07:36 |
| redd0t | tabman: you might need to reconfigure the xserver, try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" in another virtual console. | 07:36 |
| glaucous | macd: /var/log/syslog says it completed successfully so I'm thinking it's not cron. I'll investigate further | 07:36 |
| glaucous | macd, Ali_ix: thanks for your help | 07:36 |
| fwaokda | nickrud, where can i go get it then? im new to ubuntu idk where to look | 07:36 |
| macd | glaucous, thats pretty wierd, have you tried cleaning the whoe thing out by hitting crtl+k a few times | 07:36 |
| macd | glaucous, disregard that last line ;P | 07:36 |
| thyko | fwaokda: what critical apps are not on there? | 07:36 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifireball: alright thank you, i think i will try the live cd overbreak, im sick of windows, and also i have wireless, will that still work. | 07:36 |
| redd0t | tabman: it will prompt you in the terminal for your choices with hardware. | 07:36 |
| fwaokda | thyko, ! idk | 07:37 |
| ifireball | can anyone say why would I want to use AWM as oppsed to the normal Gnome panel? | 07:37 |
| tabman | redd0t: I'm not on linux right now, also my current linux installation is openSUSE10.3 | 07:37 |
| cylence | is apt-get ubuntu-specific or at least the default app manager on ubuntu? | 07:37 |
| macd | ifireball, its eye candy, other than that Ithink gnome panel is a better interface | 07:37 |
| B | cylence: it's debain specific | 07:37 |
| redd0t | tabman: oh. i have never used SUSE. | 07:37 |
| macd | cylence, it comes from debian, and ubuntu is a debian derivitive | 07:37 |
| thyko | fwaokda: what? | 07:37 |
| cylence | B: ah, good to know!! | 07:37 |
| keitherz | what does pushd command do? | 07:38 |
| cylence | macd: and thank you as well | 07:38 |
| tabman | redd0t: but the problem is across all distro, faced it on Ubuntu as well as SUSE | 07:38 |
| nickrud | fwaokda, join #awn here for the latest, they may know a repo that's up | 07:38 |
| Sonic | apt-get works in all debian based distros | 07:38 |
| keitherz | and sed | 07:38 |
| nickrud | goodnight all | 07:38 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: wireless depends on your card, some card "just work" other need some effort to get working, in any case year learning a whole new OS it'll take time a patience, but I think that eventually EVERYTHING can be made to work | 07:38 |
| cylence | I'm a tad unfamiliar with it. I understand "apt-get application", but I'm looking to upgrade apache2.0 to 2.2, is there an easy way to do this? | 07:38 |
| chraso | can anyone tell me the paste bin link? | 07:39 |
| macd | later nick | 07:39 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifireball: talk about irc noob, how do you notice? | 07:39 |
| fwaokda | thyko, im new to ubuntu idk what your talking about sry | 07:39 |
| Vaalth | hey, im having some problems playing audio in ubuntu. ive tried xmms, amarok, and rhythmbox | 07:39 |
| Vaalth | the sound is really quiet | 07:39 |
| thyko | oh | 07:39 |
| Vaalth | anyone have any ideas on what to do? | 07:39 |
| ifireball | FAJALOU4197: why would you want to do that | 07:39 |
| morghanphoenix | anyone know what driver I should use for 3d acceleration on a laptop with a nVidia Quadro NVS 120M video card? | 07:39 |
| tekcop | Vaalth, this may sound stupid, but did you check PCM volume? | 07:40 |
| B | cylence: try apt-get update apache2 | 07:40 |
| redd0t | tabman: well the other option is xorgcfg from the command line. you can run this the next time you are in linux. it is a text based menu driven configuration tool | 07:40 |
| Ademan | where should i be looking to get game controllers/joysticks working? | 07:41 |
| B | cylence: also you could use synaptic to install it | 07:41 |
| cylence | B: That didn't work, but "apt-get upgrade apache2 | 07:41 |
| cylence | did work | 07:41 |
| cylence | but it is staying at 2.0.* | 07:42 |
| cylence | not sure what that is | 07:42 |
| cylence | is it another package manager? | 07:42 |
| tabman | redd0t: and what to do after running xorgcfg ? | 07:42 |
| keitherz | ok so how can i apply my patch after patching it | 07:42 |
| keitherz | should i build it manually | 07:42 |
| redd0t | xorg will need to be restarted. | 07:42 |
| quaal | anyone use electricsheep | 07:42 |
| ifireball | morghanphoenix: the restricted "nvidia" driver | 07:42 |
| tabman | redd0t: ok I'll just switch right now & try, so lets see but I doubt it'll work | 07:43 |
| B | cylence:what ubuntu version do you have? | 07:43 |
| cylence | 6.0.7 or something to that affect | 07:43 |
| Scusio | Ali_ix: i've tried to set my ip and gateway etc.. but couldn't find where...i tried to contact my router through firefox typing 192.168.1.1 which will work at windows, but it said firefox couldn't find that location | 07:43 |
| morghanphoenix | there isn't a listing for the quadro on the nVidia page | 07:43 |
| redd0t | tabman: okay | 07:43 |
| cylence | it's the one that is supported for 5 years | 07:43 |
| B | mm | 07:43 |
| morghanphoenix | They don't even have windows drivers for this card, only dell released drivers | 07:43 |
| ifireball | cylence: the LTS doesn't include 2.2 afaik | 07:43 |
| Wh1rlw1nd | Hi all I just installed Ubuntu-desktop-7.04 on a Xeon 3040. I see my two cpus, but I would like to know if I can install a specific prebuilt kernel for the XEON? | 07:43 |
| redd0t | tabman: if its a driver problem you might have to find and download the old mouse driver and install it | 07:43 |
| FAJALOU4197 | ifirefox: do you know about netgear stuff? | 07:44 |
| B | ifireball: thought so | 07:44 |
| Ali_ix | Scusio: you can go to windows and note ip and gateway you have there, then get back to ubntu and set them up | 07:44 |
| cylence | that is correct, but does that mean I can't even upgrade to it? | 07:44 |
| Scusio | where | 07:44 |
| ifireball | B. cylence : it may me in the backports repository though, I never looked int it | 07:44 |
| Scusio | do i set them | 07:44 |
| cylence | ifireball: you mean the version of apache 2.2 that would work on the LTS? | 07:45 |
| Vaalth | tekcop, yeah the system volume and the volume in all the media players were maxed | 07:45 |
| ifireball | cylence: yeah | 07:45 |
| Scusio | Ali_ix: where do i set them up | 07:45 |
| macd | cylence, hardy will have apache2.2, as does gutsy | 07:45 |
| jonnymac | how would I go about opening .rar files in gutsy? | 07:46 |
| cylence | macd: :s | 07:46 |
| bazhang | Scusio: who are you addressing? In a busy channel like this its a good idea to use someone's nickname (nick) in your response or they may miss it | 07:46 |
| macd | cylence, its possible you could get a dapper backport request, not sure there was alot of changes | 07:46 |
| redd0t | jonnymac: install unrar-free and use archive manager | 07:46 |
| Ali_ix | Scusio: administration > network in menues | 07:46 |

| ifireball | aram: on the most basic level you need 2 partitions, root and swap | 07:48 |
| fwaokda | anyone running AWN in 7.10 that can help me get it installed??? | 07:48 |
| nny_1 | lol so i am updating some packages from hardy's repos on a dapper box | 07:49 |
| aram | ifireball: what should be size for boot? | 07:49 |
| nny_1 | this should be interesting | 07:49 |
| bazhang | fwaokda: if you dont get an answer here, you can always go to #awn | 07:49 |
| aram | ifireball: what should be the size for swap which is virtual mashine? | 07:49 |
| fwaokda | bazhang, :-/ already tried in awn got no answer there ha | 07:49 |
| aram | ifireball: virtual ram | 07:49 |
| ifireball | aram: unless you intend to use something weird such as LVM for root you don't need a separate /boot | 07:49 |
| macd | cylence, I hear ya. | 07:50 |
| cylence | macd: am I screwed? lol | 07:50 |
| Benalex | Hello all, I am using Gutsy on Toshiba satellite L20 1.5GB ram DDR2, no swap and kernel 2.6.22-14, and I can't hibernate... instead of powering off, it pops up te unlock screen... any ideas? | 07:50 |
| aram | ifireball: ok for now if i want to install how many partition do i need to create ? | 07:50 |
| ifireball | aram: swap should be twice the size of your real RAM | 07:50 |
| compwiz18_ | my computer is switching rapidly back and forth between charging the battery and not charging the battery (and the battery is about 10% charged) is that probably my computer's/hardware's fault, or gnome-power-manager's fault? if it helps, I can see if it does the same thing in Windows. | 07:50 |
| aram | ifireball: ok and what about other one which is root? | 07:50 |
| 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 ? | 07:51 |
| andy_ | compwez18: it sounds like a hardware problem | 07:51 |
| aram | ifireball: because i know i should create /boot as well? | 07:51 |
| redd0t | tabman: how did it go | 07:51 |
| tabman | redd0t: I'm on linux right now | 07:52 |
| compwiz18_ | aram: you need 2 partitions, one root, one swap. Swap should be about twice the amount of ram that you have. root should be at least 3gb for normal install | 07:52 |
| aram | ifireball: could you please send me instruction that i can read and understand that what should i do to install ubuntu | 07:52 |
| compwiz18_ | andy_: yeah, sadly | 07:52 |
| redd0t | tabman: okay | 07:52 |
| CruX | hello all. how can i update nvidia drivers in ubuntu ? is there any repository for latest drivers ? | 07:52 |
| tabman | redd0t: xorgcfg opened up some utility, saying use the keyboard to navigate but pressing key doesn't do anything | 07:52 |
| andy_ | compwiz18: i had a problem with my old laptop that was similar to that | 07:52 |
| macd | cylence, not if you like extra work ;P | 07:52 |
| CruX | i dont wanna use install program from nvidia | 07:52 |
| B | aram: for a simple installation (specifily of your installing for the first time) you only need two partitions one for spap and the other for root | 07:52 |
| ifireball | aram: root will need about 6G, why do you think that you need /boot? you may also want to create a separate /home partition though so you can reinstall without losing your settings and data | 07:52 |
| redd0t | keyboard doesnt work in the menu? | 07:52 |
| hippychick | aram, just create swap at twice the size of your ram and root at any size but say a minimum of 5gb you do not need boot | 07:52 |
| Blu3pr1nt | CruX:look on the nvidia webiste... | 07:53 |
| cylence | haha, well, if it's between not having Apache 2.2 and extra work, I'm afraid I'm up for extra work, hah | 07:53 |

| cylence | the problem is, I'm just not all that efficient with linux yet | 07:53 |
| ifireball | aram: a few ppl sent you a link to an install HOWTO before, look above | 07:53 |
| hippychick | aram, why not use auto it does this for you | 07:53 |
| cylence | macd: getting there, just not "efficient" | 07:53 |
| Blu3pr1nt | CruX: oh..wait..let me see... | 07:53 |
| macd | cylence, canonical offers commercial support ;) | 07:53 |
| tabman | redd0t: it says use numeric keypad but cursor doesn't move with the numeric keys | 07:53 |
| cylence | hah, joy | 07:53 |
| bazhang | aram: there is lots of info for you to read--additionally, the ubuntu installer can guide through each step graphically | 07:54 |

| cylence | macd: no worries, thanks for the help anyway | 07:54 |
| macd | cylence, hehe, just in a bind, nothing beats a commercial support option | 07:54 |
| tabman | redd0t: no nothing with the regular arrows | 07:54 |

| macd | cylence, no worries, if you dont get anywhere, try again here, but I still didnt catch your exact issue | 07:55 |
| compwiz18_ | aram: if this is your first time with Linux, it's probably best to learn how it works before worrying about how it is installed | 07:55 |
| redd0t | tabman: hmm.. idk.. that is really weird | 07:55 |
| chraso | >compwiz18< thinks u can help me on this | 07:55 |

| redd0t | tabman: oh.. thats interesting. | 07:59 |
| ifireball | cylence: please tell me how it goes, when I faced similar problem I (did the cowardly thing and) simply upgraded do whole OS, however I do want to know if the LTS idea stands up to its reputation | 07:59 |
| aram | other quistion is how can i access teh file that i have shared in windows xp? | 07:59 |
| aram | from linux | 07:59 |
| andy_ | compwiz18_: also to conserve your battery power on your notebook when you turn your notebook off, you should take out the battery and just plug in the power suppily when you are using it for extended periods plugged in | 07:59 |
| tabman | redd0t: now what :) | 07:59 |
| compwiz18_ | andy_: been doing that. charging the battery and using the computer makes the screen flicker | 08:00 |
| redd0t | tabman: try running through the menus. and selecting everything. | 08:00 |
| cylence | ifireball: I'm starting to wonder that as well lol, but I will stop by and let you know if I find a solution to it :) | 08:00 |

| andy_ | compwix18_: sounds good. what kind of laptop is it again? | 08:00 |
| macd | cylence, it wouldnt be a bad idea | 08:01 |
| cylence | macd: :/ | 08:01 |
| macd | cylence, if the sites are important just grab a rails machine for a month, or something on media temple | 08:01 |
| cylence | macd: I'm starting to get that bad feeling that you might be right | 08:01 |
| aram | can any one please help how can i access the files that i have shared in windows xp? | 08:01 |
| macd | one month 20 bux and give you all the time you needed to migrate | 08:01 |
| B | cylence: should be able to do a distupgrade | 08:01 |
| andy_ | compwiz18_: I am using a lenovo t60p and i am in love with it | 08:01 |
| cylence | macd: again, not a horrible idea | 08:01 |
| cylence | B: hmm? | 08:01 |
| macd | I'd rather do a fresh install for that myself | 08:01 |
| macd | cylence, I'm full of good ideas ;) | 08:02 |
| cylence | well, it *is* a fairly recently installed system | 08:02 |
| compwiz18_ | andy_: no funny power supplies? | 08:02 |
| cylence | macd: haha, humble too!! | 08:02 |

| aram | helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppp | 08:02 |
| cylence | macd: lol | 08:02 |
| ifireball | cylence: like B said you can upgrade rather then reinstall, you'll have to upgrade to all the versions since LTS one by one though... | 08:02 |
| sivang | anyone an idea regarding laptop suspend ? | 08:02 |
| cylence | macd: sometimes ya just have to | 08:02 |
| B | apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:02 |
| andy_ | compwiz18_: I used to have a dell and it was a royal pain in the rear end. That was back in the day of the prescott core p4 | 08:03 |
| cylence | ifireball: geesh. I'm wondering if it would not just be easier/faster to save my apache conf file and do that upgrade. | 08:03 |
| Eeyore-Jr | where do i set the domain name in ubuntu server? hostname is set in /etc/hostname | 08:03 |
| macd | cylence, well apache is different in going from 2.0 to 2.2 | 08:03 |
| cylence | it makes me cry just thinking about it | 08:03 |
| bazhang | !repeat | aram | 08:03 |
| ubotu | aram: 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 | 08:03 |
| macd | its modular, and your configs will be different | 08:03 |
| compwiz18_ | andy_: I've got a compaq v2000, starting to show some wear, I think. works great, except for the aforementioned problems | 08:03 |
| macd | cylence, I can point you to all the config info for the setup we run, apache2.2 + mongrel_cluster | 08:04 |
| Eeyore-Jr | !domainname | 08:04 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about domainname - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:04 |
| B | cylence: make sure you backup the system though | 08:04 |
| macd | cylence, and the instructions, I wrote the doc, its not bad | 08:04 |
| ifireball | cylence: it may, YMMV... | 08:04 |
| cylence | macd: fair enough, I suppose I meant to keep what settings I have currently in the VirtualDirectory department, not to just drop it in place | 08:04 |
| cylence | B: *very* good point | 08:04 |
| aram | bazhang: how can accsess my file from linux which are shared in xp | 08:04 |
| macd | yeah, your vhosts change alot, but its still easy, just all split up into multiple files now rather than one big file | 08:05 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy aram | 08:05 |
| andy_ | Compwiz18_: lenovo makes the best laptops. hands down. I found a site to get mine up to 40% off. www.laptopbroker.com | 08:05 |
| aram | bazhang: thanks a lot | 08:05 |
| aram | bazhang: bye for know | 08:05 |
| macd | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RubyOnRailsStack towards the bottom has the config files and mongrel scripts | 08:05 |
| Blu3pr1nt | CruX: I am sry...i dont have more informations on this...my 8600 is not supported bey nVidia yet so... | 08:05 |
| ifireball | B: simply doing "apt-get dist-upgrade" will probably break the system... aptitude may work better, but back in LTS that was a bupmy ride in any case... | 08:05 |
| cylence | ifireball: I have no doubt | 08:05 |
| aram | bazhang: now | 08:05 |
| cylence | alright then, thanks as always guys! | 08:05 |
| compwiz18_ | andy_: theres no way I'm getting a new one until this one doesn't start... so I have to hope it keeps chugging along | 08:06 |
| flake | why isn't my cd auto-mounting | 08:06 |
| B | ifireball: I'm only familar with 7.10, so I have no i dear how any other version works (what quirk may be in them versions) | 08:06 |
| bazhang | flake: audio cd? | 08:07 |
| ifireball | B: then please don't give this kind of tips... | 08:07 |
| flake | data dvd | 08:07 |
| flake | backed stuff off my old pc | 08:07 |
| andy_ | compwiz_: I am going to put my old laptop parts in a tower so i can use them even if the laptop power suppily is bad. you might end up doing that | 08:08 |
| kaxi | i'm looking to do a minimal install of ubuntu - is there a version that is very tiny? i minimal install of debian ends up being about to 380mb. i'm looking for something smaller. | 08:08 |
| bazhang | !minimal | 08:08 |
| ubotu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 08:08 |
| andy_ | kaxie_: look at minix | 08:08 |
| bazhang | kaxi: see above | 08:08 |
| keitherz | there was a minimal cd?!? | 08:09 |
| keitherz | i didn't know that | 08:09 |
| ifireball | hmm... was that too much of an insult? | 08:09 |
| andy_ | kaxi_: you could also try DSL (damn small linux) that is 50 mb | 08:09 |
| MatthewV | I have a compro videomate u500 usb dvb-t tuner - i have the tuner all working great, but I am unable to get the included remote to work? | 08:09 |
| Memot | Can i run Ubuntu with Daemon tools? Oo | 08:09 |
| Myrtti | does anyone have any hints on how to set a Ubuntu server to permanently use other keyboard layout than it's configured currently? (the system doesn't have X in it) | 08:10 |
| === _max is now known as max` | ||
| Myrtti | I've tried almost evertything I've googled into | 08:10 |
| amoo | hello | 08:10 |
| kaxi | andy_ DSL is like 150mb installed. i also need something that is maintained. | 08:10 |
| Benalex | Memot, why??... you can mount any image you want from command line or GMOUNT | 08:10 |
| keitherz | DSL is 50 mb | 08:10 |
| keitherz | cd | 08:10 |
| keitherz | but | 08:11 |
| keitherz | everything is missing | 08:11 |
| andy_ | kaxi_: are you looking for a system to run an ftp server on? | 08:11 |
| ifireball | Myrtti: you're trying to get keyboard layouts to work in the console? | 08:11 |
| ifireball | Myrtti: or over SSH from some putty/etc. window? | 08:11 |
| kaxi | andy_ yes. basically. | 08:12 |
| andy_ | kaxi_: yellowdog linux (ppl help me out here) does anyone know how big this is? | 08:12 |
| Myrtti | ifireball: yep. I've added loadkeys just to be sure again on rc2, I've got the environment settings in .bash_profile... but still I need to do loadkeys again after login and to get them to work in nano I have to run kbd-config | 08:12 |
| flake | apparently this automounting of dvd is an issue, according to the forums, like a small bug | 08:13 |
| kaxi | andy_ yellowdog is for non-x86 systems. i'm looking for x86 distros. | 08:13 |
| andy_ | kaxi_: well my professor runs a distro off of a floppy, it is headless though | 08:13 |
| Myrtti | they keep resetting, I'm not sure if the problem exists because it's runnin in vmware | 08:14 |
| ifireball | Myrtti: running loadkeys from .bash_profile doens't work for you? | 08:14 |
| kenboo | pls help me removing tracker. it seems not possible to remove tracker without affecting nautilus | 08:14 |
| Myrtti | ifireball: well, in .bash_profile I don't have permissions to run them | 08:15 |
| Myrtti | ifireball: but I've got LANG and LC_ALL set there | 08:15 |
| flake | I mounted it using K3b | 08:15 |
| ifireball | Myrtti: well the LANG and LC_* variables influence how programs work they don't influence key afaik | 08:16 |
| tonyr1988 | My desktop is connected through my Linksys router, and I wanna access it remotely. I have a DynDNS account, and my router can successfully update the DNS to the correct IP address. But....that just points to my "network" IP address, how do I access my desktop? (if that makes sense) | 08:17 |
| tonyr1988 | My desktop's name is tony-desktop....do I use that somewhere? | 08:17 |
| bazhang | !info ssh | 08:18 |
| ubotu | ssh: secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.6p1-5build1 (gutsy), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB | 08:18 |
| Benalex | What kind of access you mean? tonyr1988 ?? | 08:18 |
| tonyr1988 | Well, I have MythTV installed, so I mainly want to access MythWeb (it's just a site via the apache server) | 08:18 |
| jklock | tonyr-1988: its something nice you can call your computer when it is bad :) | 08:19 |
| tonyr1988 | From my laptop, I can just go to 192.168.1.100/mythweb | 08:19 |
| tonyr1988 | But, how can I access that from outside my network? | 08:19 |
| ifireball | Myrtti: do you have usplash (graphical boot) running on the system? | 08:19 |
| scguy318 | tonyr1998: what is your question? just came here | 08:20 |
| Myrtti | ifireball: no | 08:20 |
| Benalex | tonyr1988: then you should do a port forward to your computer | 08:20 |
| tonyr1988 | Benalex, Would that be through my router or my computer? | 08:20 |
| scguy318 | tonyr1998: router | 08:20 |
| tonyr1988 | scguy318: Thanks | 08:20 |
| andy_ | kaxi_: sorry i was not able to be helpful, you could try googleing | 08:20 |
| ifireball | Myrtti: seems that /etc/init.d/keyboard-setup should be doing all the work for you, I'm looking into it | 08:21 |
| Benalex | tonyr1988: through your router... for instructions go www.portforward.com and select your router and follow instructions | 08:21 |
| kaxi | andy_ i'm investigating. i think i need something that has a reduce sized kernel | 08:21 |
| Thornsberr1 | Can someone please help me install Java? | 08:21 |
| falieson | so um, I put the ubuntu install disc in - and I'm staring at a peach background | 08:22 |
| tonyr1988 | Benalex: Ohhh.....so if I set up the port forward properly, and my network IP address is 70.178.xxx.xx, then I could do 70.178.xxx.xx:123 and access my desktop? | 08:22 |
| hobojohn3 | what is the offtopic channel | 08:22 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: want a factoid link? | 08:22 |
| andy_ | kaxi_: do you mind headless systems... without a GUI | 08:22 |
| Benalex | tonyr1988: PINGO!! :)) | 08:22 |
| Perff | hi all | 08:22 |
| tonyr1988 | Benalex: Awesome - thanks a ton! | 08:22 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, well I tried going through what java.com said and it didn't install properly. | 08:22 |
| ifireball | Myrtti: have you tried changing /etc/default/console-setup ? | 08:22 |
| Perff | could someone help me with grub? | 08:22 |
| scguy318 | falieson: wait a bit | 08:22 |
| Eyemean | hi, is there an easy way to convert flash files to avi or something? cheers | 08:23 |
| Myrtti | ifireball: yup | 08:23 |
| jklock | Perff: I will | 08:23 |
| scguy318 | falieson: or is there no ongoing system activity? | 08:23 |
| scguy318 | Eyeman: ffmpeg probably | 08:23 |
| bazhang | !java | Thornsberr1 | 08:23 |
| ubotu | Thornsberr1: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre | 08:23 |
| ifireball | Myrtti: what did you put there? | 08:23 |
| hobojohn3 | how do i find my network ip address? | 08:23 |
| kaxi | andy_ i actually need to install x on the system and a few other programs. in the end it'll have to be under 1gb with applications i need. the basic system though without x has to be less than 380mb. | 08:23 |
| falieson | scguy318: asked me about the clock, I said 'sure i'll chagne it' and it said ti couldn't configure clock right now... and now I still have this peach background | 08:24 |
| Perff | jklock: i can't find what to pass to root= (at kernel line) so it can boot. any parameter makes kernel panic. i tried update-grub. with removing one or two kopt lines. | 08:24 |
| Perff | my root is on /dev/sda10 and this line doesn't work also. | 08:24 |
| Eyemean | k cheers scguy318 | 08:24 |
| hobojohn3 | !offtopic | 08:24 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 08:24 |
| andy_ | kaxi_: allright, i understand now | 08:24 |
| scguy318 | falieson: interesting, mm, could you possibly check the integrity of your CD? | 08:24 |
| kaxi | andy_ i have figured out how to reduce the size of x. the kernel and modules seem to be taking up the largest portion of space on the basic base debian installs. | 08:24 |
| jklock | Perff: pastebin your menu.lst | 08:25 |
| Perff | jklock: not to mention that i tried to install ubuntu from livecd several times and it always failed to set up grub | 08:25 |
| falieson | scguy318: I verified it when I burned it | 08:25 |
| andy_ | kaxi_: you are running it off of a pen drive then? www.pendrivelinux.com | 08:25 |
| falieson | scguy318: but I'll use the CD test | 08:25 |
| Myrtti | ifireball: let mee see... | 08:25 |
| scguy318 | falieson: if the LiveCD is not working out for you see !install | 08:25 |
| scguy318 | falieson: there are many other options besides the LiveCD | 08:25 |
| falieson | !install | 08:25 |
| 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?

| ronnie | i have a server run on linux and use to be fileserver to support download how can i limit the upload speed of it?? | 08:25 |
| kaxi | andy_ not exactly. but it is safe to assume that same basic setup. | 08:25 |
| falieson | yeah... maybe I'll just do gentoo instead | 08:26 |
| falieson | I have had success with gentoo | 08:26 |
| Perff | jklock http://pastebin.com/m37d0f952 | 08:26 |
| falieson | freind said i should try ubuntu | 08:26 |
| andy_ | kaxi_: my bad. I am of no help | 08:26 |
| falieson | you guys tell me any particular advantaeg that I should keep trying this ubuntu jazz? | 08:26 |
| ifireball | Myrtti: also check of just running "setupcon -k" works instead of running "loadkeys" | 08:26 |
| scguy318 | falieson: sure, try whatever suits you | 08:26 |
| scguy318 | falieson: um, APT, comes with lots of hardware support out of box | 08:26 |
| bazhang | falieson: not really. this is a support channel | 08:27 |
| Chris| | falieson its secure, free, customizable, easy etc... | 08:27 |
| hobojohn3 | how do i find my network ip address? | 08:27 |
| kaxi | andy_ that's ok- i appreciate any suggestions. | 08:27 |
| andy_ | falieson_: it is more stable than windows, it is free, you actually learn things when you are using it... | 08:27 |
| fwaokda | how do i install the flash plugin for firefox? | 08:27 |
| scguy318 | hobojohn3: ifconfig | 08:27 |
| falieson | thanks guys | 08:27 |
| falieson | um, i was trying to say advantage over gentoo | 08:27 |
| Chris| | ah | 08:27 |
| andy_ | OH | 08:27 |
| Chris| | well its easier in my opinion | 08:27 |
| ifireball | falieson: essentially, I find that APT makes life easier then portage, though it may not be as flexible | 08:28 |
| Chris| | portage ick | 08:28 |
| scguy318 | fwaokda: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 | 08:28 |
| Chris| | i hated portage :< | 08:28 |
| ifireball | falieson: note that ubuntu is a binary distro rather then a source one | 08:28 |
| Ben_Cs | hello | 08:28 |
| Myrtti | ifireball: thanks, you helped me so much :-) | 08:28 |
| Ben_Cs | could it be that editing xorg.conf to add languages, when compiz is running, will crash the system? | 08:28 |
| ifireball | Myrtti: i did? how? | 08:29 |
| falieson | ifireball: yeah, that's so far been the selling point to me, not have to wait 8hours for kde | 08:29 |
| gorilla3d | Anyone know of any software I can use to sync my hard drive to my server via ftp? | 08:29 |
| Drixx | how do i install compiz ?? | 08:29 |
| Eyemean | hi does anyone know if ffmpeg is a command line tool? | 08:29 |
| Myrtti | it was the /etc/default/console-setup | 08:29 |
| ifireball | falieson: that's why I switched as well ;) | 08:29 |
| Chris| | Drixx command: sudo apt-get install compiz-settings-manager | 08:29 |
| ifireball | Myrtti: syntax error? | 08:29 |
| Perff | (08:26:15 AM) Perff: jklock http://pastebin.com/m37d0f952 | 08:29 |
| Drixx | thnx dude | 08:30 |
| scguy318 | Drixx: its sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager | 08:30 |
| Chris| | np and enable the desktop effects | 08:30 |
| Chris| | ah sorry :/ | 08:30 |
| Neronious | ok on the usplash screen my monitor has a fit whenever it pops up saying it dosnt support the resolution settings on the usplash screen so i made a change on /boot/grub/menu.lst to the entry where it says "# defoptions=quiet splash" to "# defoptions=quiet splash vga=788" that is supposed to set the resolution to 800x600 my monitor still says it dosnt support the settings on the usplash screen any ideas? maybe the screen refresh rate b | 08:30 |
| fwaokda | scguy318, umm can i not get it form apt-get in terminal some how? | 08:30 |
| ifireball | falieson: though in may case I was a long time Debian user by the time I tried Gentoo, so Ubuntu was natural for me... | 08:30 |
| Perff | anyone can help me to understand how to fill root= parameter in grub? | 08:31 |
| falieson | ifireball: I've used a lot of freebsd before I went to gentoo, I never figured out the debian isntall... but that was almost 8 years ago... I'm sure things have changed since then :-) | 08:32 |
| cesco | ciao | 08:32 |
| Drixx | Chris.. it says Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "compizconfig-settings-manager" | 08:32 |
| dgjones | !ccsm | Drixx | 08:32 |
| ubotu | Drixx: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 08:32 |
| ifireball | Perff: yeah, (0,0) = partition 1 on disk 1, (0,1) = partition 2 on disk 2, etc... | 08:32 |
| Perff | ifireball - i mean root= for kernel | 08:33 |
| Drixx | how to install compiz manager ? | 08:33 |
| Perff | ifireball: obvious variants like /dev/sda10 don't work | 08:33 |
| ifireball | falieson: if you're a BSD jokie, Ubuntu may just be too easy for you :P | 08:33 |
| NoorulIslaam | (0,1) is partition 2 on disk 1 not 2! | 08:33 |
| Chris| | Drixx for the easier way go to synaptic package manager and search for compiz then install the settings manager for compiz | 08:33 |
| linxeh | falieson: i never figured out the debian install either. ubuntu just works :o | 08:33 |
| Perff | linxeh: i would like ubuntu to just work, for me installer fails miserably | 08:34 |
| linxeh | falieson: but again, debians last visit here was like 7 years ago :) if you want a challenge try open-darwin | 08:34 |
| linxeh | Perff: did you use the alternate cd ? | 08:34 |
| bazhang | offtopic | 08:34 |
| Perff | linxeh: i used ordinary gutsy live cd | 08:34 |
| Drixx | thnx chris | 08:35 |
| ifireball | Perff: because /dev/XXX are files on root, they can't work before its mounted... I see that the current Ubuntu convention is to user UUID identifiers | 08:35 |
| falieson | I'm not looking for a challenge, heh - I'm setting up a home theater Pc | 08:35 |
| Eyemean | is there anythign else i can use to convert flash to avi apart from ffmpeg | 08:35 |
| Chris| | your welcome | 08:35 |
| Perff | ifireball: nice, nice, how can i find out those UUID? | 08:35 |
| ubnuut | blkid | 08:36 |
| dgjones | !uuid | Perff | 08:36 |
| ubotu | Perff: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 08:36 |
| ifireball | Perff: yeah, see ubotu | 08:36 |
| falieson | doing safe graphic install mode, why does it go to like 1650x1050 res? lol | 08:37 |
| Perff | hmmm it looks like UUID is correct | 08:37 |
| falieson | I'm at the peach screen of death again | 08:37 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, I'm having a problem installing a program and I keep getting an error saying "Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java5-jre" | 08:37 |
| ifireball | Perff: once you got the UUID you just put root=UUID=XXXXX in the menu.lst file | 08:37 |
| Perff | i will retry rebooting then | 08:37 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, any ideas as to what I could do to fix it? | 08:37 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: installed from the repos? | 08:37 |
| Perff | ifireball: i suspect that it is the same UUID for which I already failed to boot several times with kernel panic | 08:37 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, what is repos? | 08:38 |
| Perff | ok i'll try | 08:38 |
| bazhang | !repos | 08:38 |
| ubotu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource | 08:38 |
| ifireball | Perff: then maybe its something else rather then it simply not finding the FS, what kind of FS is it, what kind of disk/partition ? | 08:38 |
| falieson | how long do I have to wait? | 08:39 |
| Drixx | from where to run compiz ?? | 08:39 |
| Chris| | Drixx go to system > admin > enable desktop effects | 08:40 |
| Chris| | you might have to install the driver for your graphics card | 08:40 |
| kane77 | what is the name of the program that can search and replace in multiple files at once? (it was kde program if I remember correctly) | 08:41 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, I still can't get it to install. | 08:42 |
| Drixx | how do i get to compiz to change some settings ? | 08:42 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: where did you try to install it from? the repos? | 08:42 |
| clay3482 | some please help me - I upgraded my Kernel on my desktop and now my system will not boot I have renamed the Boot/initrd to .old.bad and then named the .bak one to generic but it still hangs | 08:42 |
| Perffff | hi all | 08:43 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, When I download it it tries to install automatically and I get the error every time. | 08:43 |
| Perffff | my ubuntu grub problem persists | 08:43 |
| falieson | still waiting.. this is ridiculous | 08:43 |
| clay3482 | Me 2 Perfff | 08:43 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: from where did you download it | 08:43 |
| Perffff | with UUID it says on boot: "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0) | 08:43 |
| Drixx | how do i open compiz ?? | 08:44 |
| Perffff | ifireball | 08:44 |
| Perffff | ifireball uuid doesn't help :( | 08:44 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, from their website. | 08:44 |
| clay3482 | is their anyway to install a previous version on top of this bad version? without having to format the whole drive? | 08:44 |
| Chris| | Drixx system > preferences > look in here | 08:44 |
| Drixx | okk | 08:45 |
| Moult | is there an experienced person here who can teach me compiling and stuff? i've read the online website but i'm not too sure about some things. | 08:45 |
| Moult | well, more of just guide me through the process of compiling from source | 08:45 |
| Perffff | anyone can help me with grub? .. :( | 08:45 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: and why not from the ubuntu software repositories? that would be the *recommended* method | 08:46 |
| macd | Moult, typically source programs have a README, INSTALL files that explain howto configure/compile that specific app | 08:46 |
| ubuntu | Hello | 08:46 |
| macd | Moult, but in general, ./configure && make && sudo make install | 08:46 |
| macd | within the source directory | 08:46 |
| kr00l | anyone know how to get Opera Web browser to play youtube videos? | 08:46 |
| ubuntu | I'm using a LiveCD right now, because I need to format and repartition my hard drive. Unfortunately, it seems that I can't back up some of my files in my home directory: It says that I don't have permission. How do I fix that? | 08:47 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, whenever I download it it opens with GDebi Package installer and I get the same error message every time. | 08:47 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, I don't know how to install with the repositories, I haven't used Linux for more than a week. | 08:47 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: thus the reason to install from within ubuntu--this is not windows :} | 08:47 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, I can tell. I like it better so far, I think I just need to learn how to use it a little more. | 08:48 |
| Perffff | ah kernel panic kernel panic | 08:48 |
| Perffff | anyone? | 08:48 |
| falieson | so, guys - I changed my system clock and ubuntu loads fine | 08:48 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: you want to open up synaptic and then enable the first four repositories | 08:48 |
| falieson | doesn't that seem kinda wrong? | 08:48 |
| Perffff | jklock? | 08:48 |
| Perffff | ifireball? | 08:48 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, I've done that already. | 08:48 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: then hit reload and then search for ubuntu-restricted-extras | 08:48 |
| Moult | macd: yes but i am having some problems during the ./configure process | 08:48 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, alright, give me a second to do that. | 08:49 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: no rush :} | 08:49 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, alright I found it. | 08:49 |
| Drixx | how do i give my desktop cube the transparent look ?? | 08:50 |
| macd | Moult, such as? and is the program your trying to install available via synaptic/apt-get ? (please post your errors in pastebin) | 08:50 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, and mark it I assume? | 08:50 |
| Moult | macd: yes it is, but i want to learn how to install it manually | 08:50 |
| Perffff | it seems that one can wait for a help for ages here... | 08:50 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: that would be a safe assumption :} | 08:51 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, alright, then apply the changes? | 08:51 |
| ifireball | Perffff: then maybe its something else rather then it simply not finding the FS, what kind of FS is it, what kind of disk/partition ? | 08:51 |
| macd | Moult, that a big waste of time, when its already built for the platform, by professionals. | 08:51 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: bingo! | 08:51 |
| Moult | macd: learning is never a waste of time. | 08:51 |
| Drixx | Chris: how do i get the transparent cube ?? | 08:51 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, alright, it's downloading now. | 08:51 |
| macd | Moult, but your configure errors are most likely due to missing/wrong versions of libs, so you'll need tonfind and install those | 08:52 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, then what will I do after it downloads? | 08:52 |
| Perffff | ifireball: it's ext3, disk SATA | 08:52 |
| macd | Moult, if you want to stick ./configures output on a pastbin I'll look@it | 08:52 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: when it comes to the java install, you will need to go to details and click ok on the user agreement | 08:52 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, alright. | 08:52 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: otherwise it will just hang | 08:53 |
| ifireball | Perffff: can you paste fdisk -l for me plz, also, what is the grub root set to? | 08:53 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, I was trying to install it the way java.com told me to using the terminal and it wasn't working for some reason. | 08:53 |
| Moult | macd: http://pastebin.com/d495d8f33 | 08:54 |
| Perffff | ifireball: ok after my livecd loads... | 08:54 |
| ifireball | Perffff: just paste menu.lst maybe? | 08:54 |
| Perffff | i pasted menu.lst 10 mins ago or so | 08:54 |
| Perffff | i can do it again surely | 08:54 |
| ifireball | Perffff: I guess the live cd sees the disk ok? | 08:54 |
| ifireball | Perffff: you got the link from 10 mins ago? | 08:54 |
| Perffff | ifireball: yes, livecd ok | 08:54 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: always avoid using outside sources when at all possible--the built in installers are loaded with everything you could possibly need | 08:54 |
| Perffff | ifireball: no, i haven't - no chat history | 08:55 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, Alright, well that's good to know. I'm just waiting for the marked changes to be applied now. | 08:55 |
| macd | Moult, looks like your missing ncurses, you can use apt-cache search ncurses to find that, then use sudo apt-get install packagename to install it | 08:55 |
| ifireball | Perffff: let me see if I can find it... | 08:55 |

| Perfff2 | ifireball: how do i get list of uuids? | 08:59 |

| viking09 | Anyone guru on WiFi PCMCIA cards? I have checked drivers, the card identifies the WiFi router, but I can not get it to connect :/ | 08:59 |

| === kitofhawaii_ is now known as kitofhawaii | ||
| macd | Moult, yeah | 09:00 |
| ifireball | Perfff1: add "initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic" in menu.lst under the "kernel" line | 09:00 |
| ifireball | Perfff1: make sure you have that file there though | 09:01 |
| fwaokda | bazhang, i did it through terminal too but it does alot of stuff then says, Flash Plugin NOT installed | 09:01 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: I believe it is called flashplugin-nonfree; you need to enable the partner (canonical) repos for that I believe | 09:01 |
| fwaokda | bazhang, something about a md5sum mismatch | 09:01 |
| Perfff1 | ifireball: no such file, only /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic.bak there | 09:01 |
| bazhang | fwaokda: were you running firefox at the time? | 09:01 |
| TNDT | hey, im following a guide for configuring lm-sensors, and it says to run a sh in the lm-sensors source, how can i figure out where that is? | 09:01 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, alright, I found the flashplugin-nonfree. | 09:01 |
| Perfff1 | ifireball: but with .bak it looks like it works!!!! OMG | 09:01 |
| bazhang | fwaokda: oh that--that is a bug on adobe's part--should be fixed shortly | 09:01 |
| fwaokda | :( | 09:02 |
| Perfff1 | ifireball: I spent like 6 hours of my life on this stupid thing... why wasn't it there from the start? | 09:02 |
| fwaokda | bazhang, how do i get it b4 they fix it? | 09:02 |
| ifireball | Perfff1: crappy.... for some reason it failed generating the initrd image on install.... | 09:02 |
| Cubexombi | fwaokda: I've got the .deb sitting around here | 09:02 |
| Perfff1 | ifireball: why is it .bak? is it bad or so? should i use it? | 09:02 |
| bazhang | fwaokda: before or after? best to wait a bit for the fix | 09:02 |
| fwaokda | oooh can you hook me up with it plz | 09:02 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, alright, I got it. Thanks again. | 09:03 |
| ifireball | Perfff1: the .bak is probably a generic file, it should generate a file specific to your system on the fly | 09:03 |
| Cubexombi | lemme know if you're getting that? | 09:03 |
| user11_011 | can i connect to cdrom of a remote machine and install ubuntu from there on my machine | 09:03 |
| fwaokda | Cubexombi, not working is it something im doing wrong? | 09:03 |
| Perfff1 | ifireball: how can i do it? | 09:03 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: come back when other issues arise--well be here :} | 09:03 |
| Perfff1 | ifireball: i successfully booted into my system | 09:04 |
| Cubexombi | fwaokda: could be my connection here .. | 09:04 |
| ifireball | Perfff1: if its a new install you'll probably get a new kernel on the next update, so it should sort things out (make a new initrd/etc.) | 09:04 |
| fwaokda | try again | 09:04 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, well I've found this chatroom to be the most helpful out of anything I've read online. | 09:04 |
| Perfff1 | ifireball: ok i'll try | 09:04 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: thus the advantage of Ubuntu :} | 09:04 |
| ifireball | Perfff1: you can generate initrd by hand, but its just hard work, and like I said, next kernel upgrade should sort that | 09:05 |
| fwaokda | Cubexombi, still not working... where did you get this from? | 09:05 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, Yeah, it's much more effective. I remember when I tried getting all my music on Windows to show up on my 360 it took me hours of time on the phone only for them to tell me they didn't know why it wouldn't work. | 09:05 |
| Cubexombi | fwaokda: could e-mail it if you need, it's a patch, I'll see if I can't find where i got it from for you | 09:05 |

| bazhang | Thornsberr1: ok..last one though--you are at your limit already :} | 09:24 |

| fwaokda | whats ntfs3g? | 09:24 |
| ifireball | fwaokda: and you'll need to get the boot.ini file from somewhere | 09:25 |
| fwaokda | oh well thats my problem... i dont have the file it somehow disappeared | 09:25 |
| ifireball | fwaokda: its a linux module to allow reading/writing of NTFS filesystems | 09:25 |
| bazhang | Thornsberr1: in the terminal ifconfig? is that what you mean? to check the devices? or something else | 09:25 |
| skullhead | no that dident work cube | 09:26 |
| Thornsberr1 | bazhang, well I got that but from what I know, which is very little, ipconfig /release would release the IP address that you'd have and then /renew would get another one. Kind of like repairing the connection. I'd have to do that every now and again with my old ISP cause sometimes it'd just stop working and that'd be the only thing that would fix it. | 09:27 |

| ToastGuy | Is there any alternative to iTunes for ubuntu | 09:48 |
| ToastGuy | ?? | 09:48 |
| tom17bombadil | seems to be a common problem | 09:48 |
| ifireball | Wh1rlw1nd: "core" files are generated when apps crash, they are basically memory dumps of the apps at crash-time | 09:48 |
| ToastGuy | I need to sync my iPod to ubuntu | 09:48 |

| ToastGuy | rudihawk: i didn't know it existed before you told me | 09:51 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: ok | 09:51 |
| ifireball | theelbermungster: they are not interchangeable, gnome is a graphical environment, bash is a textual shell... | 09:52 |
| rudihawk | *player | 09:52 |
| ifireball | theelbermungster: do you want your system to not load the graphical environment? | 09:52 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: how does the sharing work? | 09:52 |
| theelbermungster | yes, I need to run e2defrag. | 09:52 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: does it share the same way iTunes shares? | 09:52 |
| ifireball | theelbermungster: oh so you want to do this just one time? | 09:53 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: unfortunately I'm still stuck with some windows machines | 09:53 |

| theelbermungster | yes ifireball | 09:53 |
| rudihawk | toastguy,oh, do you mean like over a network? | 09:53 |
| ToastGuy | ya | 09:53 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: like you would normally be able to do from iTunes app | 09:54 |
| ifireball | theelbermungster: just reboot, press [ESC] when it tells you to get the Grub menu and select the 2nd line (recovery mode) | 09:54 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: i'm just asking | 09:54 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: I can test it out of course | 09:54 |

| ToastGuy | rudihawk: okay here's another stupid question... | 09:55 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: is there anyway to view files over the network on a windows machine? | 09:56 |
| rudihawk | toastguy, - there are no stupid questions | 09:56 |

| ToastGuy | \\mywindowscomputer\mydir\ | 09:56 |

| rudihawk | you will have to install samba | 09:57 |
| rudihawk | and then you should be able to browse your windows network as per normal | 09:57 |
| ToastGuy | samba is a windows app? | 09:57 |
| theelbermungster | thanks, ifireball. | 09:57 |
| rudihawk | toastguy - just let me check | 09:58 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: I see what your talking about now | 09:58 |
| simimi | I just installed 7.10 on a friend's notebook for her, and we have a no sound issue. I added noacpi to the boot line of the kernel and nothing, tried booting with no power (the normal fixes) and still no sound. Alternative ideas anyone? | 09:58 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: it's asking me to install "Samba to share folders with Windows/Linux systems" | 09:59 |
| davf | Anyone know of a way to delete all unneeded library packages? | 09:59 |
| simimi | davf, sudo apt-get autoremove or sudo apt-get autoclean maybe? | 09:59 |
| ToastGuy | < Installing Samba now | 09:59 |
| rudihawk | toastguy - thats what you would like it to do | 10:00 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: cool | 10:00 |
| thyrax | is this also fluxbox? http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8923/20070303moparxgf3.png | 10:01 |
| davf | did that but I still find that I can manually choose library packages for removal and they don't show dependencies in synaptic | 10:01 |
| davf | simimi ^ | 10:01 |
| davf | deborphan doesn't show them either. | 10:01 |
| simimi | davf, then I am not sure after that... perhaps they are not completely independent? | 10:02 |
| rudihawk | toastguy - do you want to browse the windows folders from your linux computer, or the other way around? | 10:02 |
| gluonman | Question: I have a Logitech Quickcam Express that works just fine in camorama and xawtv, etc. I can test it using any program and it runs smoothly.

| davf | simimi no big deal anyway. just wondering. | 10:03 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: I want to see the MUSIC files on my windows machine | 10:03 |
| davf | I've been having problems with vlc and audacity the past two days and I'm just trying to figure out what might be the problem. | 10:04 |
| thyrax | is this fluxbox? http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8923/20070303moparxgf3.png | 10:04 |
| rudihawk | toastguy - ok i understand, well samba should work nicely in that case :) | 10:04 |
| ifireball | vasilisa: d/l less images? :P | 10:04 |
| simimi | How can I see what sound card is on a system, lspci ?something | 10:04 |
| vasilisa | ifireball: c.c | 10:05 |
| rudihawk | toastguy - you can then go to places>network, and see if you can see your folder then | 10:05 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: Okay I'm confused... how do I browse that machine. I don't see anywhere to enter my Windows Network address | 10:05 |
| gluonman | Did anyone read my question? I'm having difficulty with my webcam freezing as soon as I broadcast it on Kopete. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about it. | 10:05 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: you read my mind | 10:05 |
| ifireball | simimi: yeah. lspci will give you a hint | 10:05 |
| rudihawk | toastguy - let me know if that works.... | 10:05 |
| davf | none of the filters are working in audacity and the preview starts before the popup that says previewing and it says the equaliser filters are missing. | 10:05 |
| rudihawk | toastguy - haha, ;) | 10:05 |
| simimi | gluonman, normally if you have a question, people will jump on it, but some questions may be outside our current expertise, so ask a bit later | 10:06 |
| soho | after last update my sd-cards are not mountet automatically anymore. how can i repair this? | 10:06 |
| simimi | ahh... got it, many thanks!! | 10:06 |
| ifireball | vasilisa: but really, unfortunately I don't currently know of a feature to limit it | 10:06 |
| gluonman | simimi, I figured as much. But with no one saying anything it's hard to know if I'm being ignored or asking a question to which no one knows the answer. | 10:06 |
| ifireball | vasilisa: you can delete it from time to time though and it'll get recreated (hopefully smaller) | 10:07 |
| soho | has somebody an idea about that? | 10:07 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: I don't have a decoder? | 10:08 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: okay, I see the files now | 10:08 |
| ifireball | ToastGuy: you can either select "Connect to Server" from the places menu or type ctrl+L in nautilus and type smb://SERVER/share | 10:08 |
| ToastGuy | rudihawk: now what about getting this to show | 10:08 |
| simimi | soho, when you boot into grub, try going into the recover mode and see what happened, or look through your log to see what was installed and see if anything was changed. Also, check fstab just incase | 10:08 |
| thyrax | Can this desktop be installed on ubuntu? can anyone identify it? http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8923/20070303moparxgf3.png | 10:09 |
| rudihawk | toastguy - how do u mean? | 10:09 |
| soho | simimi; i know what it is. it is caused by the latest update of image and headers. but a downgrade didn't repair the problem. sd-cards gets not mounted anymore | 10:10 |
| soho | any idea about that? | 10:10 |
| simimi | thyrax, yes, Openbox, sudo apt-get install openbox menu obconf | 10:10 |

| wols_ | Busybyeski: do you have and free unallocated space on your harddisk? | 10:32 |
| Busybyeski | i'm pretty sure all the space is allocated | 10:32 |
| wols_ | *any free | 10:32 |
| Busybyeski | but a lot is free | 10:32 |
| === sasha_ is now known as epifanio | ||
| wols_ | but ubuntu can only install if you have some free space or ext3 formatted space | 10:32 |
| wols_ | unallocated space only | 10:32 |
| wols_ | make some space unallocated | 10:33 |
| Busybyeski | i thought the installer could do a little partition magic to unallocate some of my space | 10:33 |
| NekoKun | Guys... I tried to resize my main partition (NTFS) but it just failed. Tried to defrag, to remove any files, and it still fails. Any idea?! | 10:33 |
| Busybyeski | can i do that through the installer or through ubuntu or do i have to boot back to vista to unallocate space? | 10:33 |
| wols_ | first defrag your windows disks | 10:34 |
| wols_ | then run gparted on the disk from ubuntu and resize | 10:34 |
| Busybyeski | gparted is on the liveCD and can be run from vista? | 10:34 |
| Busybyeski | or can i defrag through ubuntu? | 10:34 |
| falieso1 | hey... so I just did an install of ubuntu, what's the pass for root? | 10:35 |
| lazz0 | yea its on the livecd | 10:35 |
| lazz0 | the installer will ask you how to partition | 10:35 |
| Paavi2_0 | gparted can be run from livecd, not from vista that is | 10:35 |
| Oddd | there is no root password | 10:35 |
| Busybyeski | can i defrag from livecd? | 10:35 |
| wols_ | and gparted does not defrag | 10:35 |
| Oddd | sudo -i will get you a root shell | 10:35 |
| wols_ | I said defrag THEN resize | 10:35 |
| Oddd | if you are labeled as an administrator | 10:35 |
| Busybyeski | i know | 10:35 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: you can't defrag from Ubuntu, you have to do that from vista, and you can't run gparted from vista you have to do that from ubuntu | 10:36 |
| Busybyeski | wols_: can i defrag from ubuntu | 10:36 |
| wols_ | Oddd: don't tell people that please | 10:36 |
| Busybyeski | so i'm looking at a few reboots here? | 10:36 |
| wols_ | Busybyeski: no | 10:36 |
| Oddd | oh.. sorry | 10:36 |
| Oddd | (?) | 10:36 |
| Busybyeski | okie doke | 10:36 |
| falieso1 | Oddd: is there a root user? isn't that something that is kinda concerning? | 10:36 |
| Oddd | there is | 10:36 |
| Oddd | but you cannot login as root | 10:36 |
| wols_ | !toor | falieso1 | 10:36 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about toor - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:36 |
| Busybyeski | so defrag both of my drives? | 10:36 |
| wols_ | !root | falieso1 | 10:36 |
| ubotu | falieso1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:37 |
| Paavi2_0 | if you sudo you should only run one command per "session" :) | 10:37 |
| user11_011 | can i connect to cdrom of a remote machine and install ubuntu from there on my machine | 10:37 |
| lazz0 | falieso1, linux cannot live without a super user | 10:37 |
| wols_ | !install | user11_011 | 10:37 |
| ubotu | user11_011: 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 | 10:37 |
| ifireball | user11_011: possible, but quite difficult | 10:37 |
| Busybyeski | wols_: how much longer are you looking to stay around? think you'll be here after a defrag? | 10:37 |
| Oddd | (one command.... like /bin/sh?) | 10:37 |
| lazz0 | Busybyeski, what defrag are you talking about? defrag is win only? | 10:38 |
| falieso1 | sorry, I'm just used to gentoo | 10:38 |
| Paavi2_0 | Oddd: i guess shell doesn't count :P | 10:38 |
| ifireball | Oddd: yeah, you can do that "su -" as well if you want to be cleaner about it | 10:38 |
| Busybyeski | lazz0: it was recommended that i defrag before i create a new partition with gparted | 10:38 |
| Dimensions | Hiya ... i have lost my email password ... but its stored in evolution is there a way to see it ? as we know we can do that in Thunderbird ... | 10:38 |
| NekoKun | wols_: I defraged in windows, and used Ubuntu's default particion manager... | 10:39 |
| wols_ | NekoKun: and? | 10:39 |
| NekoKun | wols_: still error... | 10:39 |
| wols_ | what error? | 10:39 |
| wols_ | NekoKun: did I ever give you any advice? | 10:40 |
| Busybyeski | i'll go defrag | 10:40 |
| Busybyeski | bbl | 10:40 |
| Busybyeski | thanks for the help if you're not back when i am | 10:40 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: bakup!!!! | 10:40 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: backup!!!! | 10:40 |
| Busybyeski | :\ i don't have anything to backup with | 10:40 |
| falieso1 | it's disconcerting to not be root | 10:40 |
| falieso1 | so sudo -i gives me admin privledges, right? | 10:40 |
| lazz0 | Busybyeski, are you trying to make the partition without formatting? | 10:40 |
| NekoKun | wols_: Nah, I misread your reply | 10:40 |
| Oddd | yeah... so be careful | 10:41 |
| falieso1 | when I run fdisk /dev/sdb why does it say it's unable to open? | 10:41 |
| Paavi2_0 | falieso1: that's a bad habit | 10:41 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: don't you have any backup tool on vista? | 10:41 |
| wols_ | NekoKun: you ignore my question too | 10:41 |
| wols_ | falieso1: sudo fdisk... | 10:41 |
| Busybyeski | lazz0: wols_ suggested that i create unallocated space to work with in gparted | 10:41 |
| Oddd | best to put an sudo before the command you want to run as root | 10:41 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: it would be a wise thing to do before playing with partitions... | 10:41 |
| falieso1 | wols_: tried that too | 10:41 |
| wols_ | falieso1: dmesg | grep sdb | 10:41 |
| Oddd | (or gsudo if you like gnome heaps) | 10:41 |
| Busybyeski | ifireball: i would be backing up to the same partition i'm trying to play with | 10:41 |
| falieso1 | ah I see | 10:41 |
| falieso1 | I got it | 10:41 |
| Paavi2_0 | falieso1: if you do need root priviledges for ex. on apt-get, just run sudo apt-get... | 10:41 |
| allnet | helo | 10:42 |
| lesshaste_ | I can turn off "tapping" in gsynaptics but how do I make that permanent? It gets turned back when I reboot | 10:42 |
| allnet | who knows ubuntu template that like vista / xp | 10:42 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: inedeed | 10:42 |
| Busybyeski | ifireball: all i'll be doing on vista is defragging anyway | 10:43 |
| Busybyeski | which shouldn't hurt too much i hope ;) | 10:43 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: just in case, y'know... partition resizes can be dangerous... | 10:43 |
| Paavi2_0 | allnet: there aren't any "ubuntu templates" | 10:43 |
| allnet | owh | 10:43 |
| Busybyeski | it should stay safe if i keep the size above what i'm using, shouldn't it? | 10:43 |
| NekoKun | I tried to resize my windows main partition (NTFS) but it just failed. Tried to defrag, to remove any files, and it still fails. Any idea?! | 10:43 |
| Busybyeski | PS: what's this irc server in case i need to get on from vista? | 10:43 |
| lesshaste_ | I use "nm-applet" to manage my wireless networking but how do I get it to save my WPA PSK permanently? It's a pain to type in each time. | 10:43 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: theoretically, yyes, but better smart then sorry... | 10:44 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: irc.freenode.net | 10:44 |
| Busybyeski | oh i'll wait around for a solution to NekoKun's problem in case i run in to it also | 10:44 |
| wols_ | NekoKun: either you tell us the error messages or you solve your problems alone | 10:44 |
| Busybyeski | when i do create a new partition for ubuntu, what kind should i make? ntfs? | 10:45 |
| Busybyeski | or ext3 | 10:45 |
| wols_ | Busybyeski: ext3 | 10:45 |
| Paavi2_0 | ext3 | 10:45 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: ext3 | 10:45 |
| NekoKun | wols_: It didn't gave any error. Just said that got an error | 10:45 |
| wols_ | NekoKun: I told you what we need. have fun. good bye | 10:45 |
| Busybyeski | i'm going to go back to the manual partition selection in the installer to see exactly what i'm dealing with sortof | 10:46 |
| lazz0 | Busybyeski, hope you make a swap partition | 10:46 |
| Paavi2_0 | wols_: maybe it really just said "error!" | 10:46 |
| NekoKun | wols_: Ok, I have that crappy interface, how do I get the error messages from there? | 10:46 |
| Busybyeski | what's a swap partition? | 10:46 |
| wols_ | Paavi2_0: doesn't help us to diganose it, does it? | 10:46 |
| Busybyeski | won't i deal with that in the installer in ubuntu? | 10:46 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: indeed you will | 10:47 |
| Paavi2_0 | wols_: you're right, but then the coders are s***heads :( | 10:47 |
| Busybyeski | If you proceed with creating a new partition table on the device, then all current partitions will be removed. | 10:47 |
| Busybyeski | that won't format anything, will it? | 10:47 |
| Busybyeski | just remove partitions? i don't quite understand what that means | 10:47 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: it will. | 10:47 |
| wols_ | Paavi2_0: have fun programming your own OS. please come back when you're finished. good day | 10:47 |
| cruox | How can I set up a keyboard layout switcher like the one in Windows? (sorry for being Windows-centric, I just like that feature of the Redmonder os :) ) | 10:47 |
| paritosh1010_ | join #videolan | 10:48 |
| wols_ | Busybyeski: can't you just DO what we told you? there is no other way unless you are fine with dataloss | 10:48 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: the partitions are *sorta* below the filesystems, removing then pretty much destroys everything | 10:48 |
| Busybyeski | ifireball: what can i do in vista to prepare for the installer | 10:48 |
| Paavi2_0 | wols_: sorry | 10:48 |
| wols_ | Busybyeski: defrag!!! | 10:48 |
| Busybyeski | defrag and unallocate 10 gb of space? | 10:48 |
| lazz0 | cruox, look around in language settings | 10:48 |
| lazz0 | there are options to add this | 10:49 |
| Busybyeski | ok | 10:49 |
| ifireball | Busybyeski: so please 1st go to vista, defrag and BACKUP, then come back to ubunto, and resize | 10:49 |
| Busybyeski | i'll defrag and be back =O | 10:49 |
| Paavi2_0 | cruox: on gome there's a panel "gadget" for that | 10:49 |
| Busybyeski | k | 10:49 |

| greenmanwitch | In my Xubuntu livecd, my ethernet to wireless adapter worked without me even having to touch anything, which surprised me because I have a WEP key. | 10:53 |
| cole | i pm you pricechild because i needed to enter quite a few lines of txt | 10:53 |
| greenmanwitch | Anyway, I booted and now it isn't working :( | 10:53 |
| roundyz__ | NekoKun: use gparted or fdisk . | 10:53 |
| roundyz__ | i prefer fdisk myself.. | 10:54 |
| Naxa | hi! | 10:54 |
| wols_ | greenmanwitch: what is a ethernet to wireless adapter? and what chip does it use? | 10:54 |
| roundyz__ | its with allmost every distro that is installable.. | 10:54 |
| NekoKun | ok | 10:55 |
| theLichKing | hi | 10:55 |
| roundyz__ | wols_: just works on layer 1/2 dont think youd need a driver for that | 10:55 |
| theLichKing | where does firefox store the search strings i used in google? | 10:55 |
| greenmanwitch | wols_: basically, it is a little d-link box that you attatch into an ethernet port and it acts as a wireless card. You configure it as ethernet and it works | 10:55 |
| Busybyeski | turns out my defrag is a weekly scheduled event =D | 10:55 |
| Filled-Void | Is anyone else having a problem with Playing OpenArena . Mines crashes after about 5 minutes each time | 10:55 |
| roundyz__ | your need a module for the ethernetcard though,.. | 10:55 |
| Naxa | My problem is that i need to connect somehow an ubuntu laptop with root priviliges and a windows xp pc with user priv. only. I need to copy files from the winxp to the ubuntu. there is a workgroup specified (and a network) on winxp, but i cannot change settings, and all i have is an ethernet cable (e.g. no switch/router) | 10:55 |
| wols_ | greenmanwitch: you don't configure it at all. what is your ethernet card? | 10:55 |
| cole | usually its the power trippers that say pm's are rude | 10:55 |
| wols_ | cole: it's the ops. you are free to look for help elsewhere if it bothers you | 10:56 |
| greenmanwitch | wols_: I will go find out. I don't understand wny it doesn't just work like the live cd did, though | 10:56 |
| wols_ | cole: it doesn't beother us if you do that | 10:56 |
| theLichKing | where does firefox store the search strings i used in google? | 10:56 |
| wols_ | greenmanwitch: lspci |grep -i net | 10:56 |
| roundyz__ | Naxa: use ifconfig to set the ip of the card to a private ip range with no gw, is the cabn;le an xover? | 10:56 |
| greenmanwitch | yeah, I know | 10:56 |
| wols_ | theLichKing: somewhere under ~/.mozilla you can delete them from the ffox UI tho | 10:57 |
| theLichKing | wols_: i want to delete specific search strings.. not the whole thing | 10:57 |
| wols_ | Naxa: can you ping ubuntu from the windows box? | 10:57 |
| wols_ | theLichKing: run grep -r under the directory I mentioned | 10:58 |
| Busybyeski | windows defrag used to have a cute gui to go along with it =( | 10:59 |
| roundyz__ | Defrag is a fix for a shite filesystem. | 10:59 |
| abhi | hey how do i defrag my hard disk in Ubuntu? do i need to dfrag my hdd like windoze? | 10:59 |
| roundyz__ | abhi: no, not really. | 10:59 |
| wols_ | abhi: you don't | 10:59 |
| abhi | wols_: how does Linux manage to organize the hdd so efficiently then? | 11:00 |
| roundyz__ | abhi: it uses inodes | 11:00 |
| Naxa | roundyz: i am sorry but i am not sure if i understand what are you saying actually :( | 11:00 |
| roundyz__ | abhi: look it up on wikipedia | 11:00 |
| ifireball | greenmanwitch: it may be a simple issue of telling netmanager to use a _wired_ connection | 11:00 |
| abhi | roundyz__: ahhh | 11:00 |
| abhi | roundyz__: got any link where i can read more about how it's done? | 11:01 |
| lesshaste_ | I use "nm-applet" to manage my wireless networking but how do I get it to save my WPA PSK permanently? It's a pain to type in each time. | 11:01 |
| Naxa | roundyz_ what is no gw? and xover? how will i now if its on or not? | 11:01 |
| wols_ | Naxa: please answer me | 11:01 |
| roundyz__ | wikipedia.org/ext2 | 11:01 |
| roundyz__ | maybe.. | 11:01 |
| wols_ | lesshaste_: use /etc/network/interfaces | 11:01 |
| roundyz__ | gw= gateway and xover is a crossover cable | 11:01 |
| wols_ | roundyz__: it's still greek to him | 11:01 |
| wols_ | Naxa: please answer my question | 11:01 |
| Naxa | wols_ i'm actually not set it up yet one minute 'couse i wanted to be aware | 11:01 |
| Naxa | wols_: will answer in 5 minutes | 11:02 |
| greenmanwitch | ifireball: I did. It doesn't offer wireless because it doesn't know my wireless card is wireless since it plugs into the ethernet port | 11:02 |
| roundyz__ | i hope now that i have 2 gigs of ram i can load all of alt.bin.hdtv without it slowing to a grind... | 11:02 |
| greenmanwitch | wols_: ok, it ir a RTL-8139 | 11:02 |
| greenmanwitch | wols_: I KNOW that works in Linux | 11:02 |
| roundyz__ | a well suported card in linux | 11:02 |
| wols_ | greenmanwitch: then it should work just fine. sudo ifconfig -a | 11:02 |
| greenmanwitch | ok | 11:03 |
| roundyz__ | is that fails check to see if the modules is loaded.. | 11:03 |
| roundyz__ | ..lsmod | 11:03 |
| roundyz__ | i would grep it but i fgorgot the module name of hand..might be r8139... | 11:03 |
| lesshaste_ | wols_, instead of nm-applet? | 11:03 |
| wols_ | lesshaste_: yes | 11:04 |
| ifireball | greenmanwitch: what is your wireless AP, some kind of a router? is it supposed to hand out DHCP? | 11:04 |
| wols_ | ifireball: it doesn't matter with the device he uses much | 11:04 |
| greenmanwitch | ifireball: yes, yes | 11:04 |
| lesshaste_ | wols_, that looks like I hard code which network I want to use | 11:04 |
| Busybyeski | god if i defragged yesterday you would think this defrag would be quick | 11:05 |
| ifireball | wols_: it matters if Ubuntu doesn't send out the hostname on the DHCP request... | 11:05 |
| lesshaste_ | wols_, how do I use it? | 11:05 |
| * roundyz__ is now lost... | 11:05 | |
| wols_ | ifireball: why would a hostname be necessary for the dhcp request? | 11:05 |
| LM22 | I am trying to watch a video but it is too dark, ive tried upping my contrast and brightness on my monitor but it doesn't help... any ideas? btw it looks fine on windows | 11:06 |
| ifireball | wols_: some DHCPs servers (notably AD) don't hand out IPs unless a hostname is specified | 11:06 |
| roundyz__ | LM22: what engine are you using, mplayer, xine, gstreamer? | 11:06 |
| toutoun02 | hello everybody | 11:06 |
| LM22 | mplayer and ive also tried vlc | 11:06 |
| wols_ | ifireball: then why would the install cd do it and the installed OS not? not much sense | 11:06 |
| roundyz__ | mplayer has many contrast options you can play about with.. do man mplayer and see ;) | 11:07 |
| ifireball | wols_: http://ifireball.wordpress.com/2007/12/15/dhcp-trouble-on-debian/ <- apparently, the most hit article in there ;) | 11:07 |
| roundyz__ | sounds like a module issue to me... | 11:07 |
| LM22 | do they have a gui to config the contrast options | 11:07 |
| Paavi2_0 | LM22: yes | 11:07 |
| ifireball | wols_: bugs ususally don't make sense, but I've seen netmanager mess up things more then once... | 11:07 |
| roundyz__ | LM22: can't remember off hand, sorry. | 11:08 |
| LM22 | ooh cool | 11:08 |
| LM22 | ok | 11:08 |
| LM22 | im retarded | 11:08 |
| LM22 | lol | 11:08 |
| LM22 | thanks | 11:08 |
| LM22 | :D | 11:08 |
| Paavi2_0 | LM22: on mplayer a right-click-menu | 11:08 |
| LM22 | that fixed it | 11:08 |
| lesshaste_ | I thought network manager was meant to be improved in gutsy gibbon | 11:08 |
| lesshaste_ | it looks just the same and still missing 90% of the desired features :) | 11:09 |
| ifireball | lesshaste: still, it was improved.... | 11:09 |
| roundyz__ | I though netmanager had loads of bugs, your better of doing it all manually, then throwing it in a cript then running it in local... | 11:09 |
| roundyz__ | any ways , i'm off to deliver some xmas cards.. | 11:09 |
| roundyz__ | => goes outside | 11:10 |
| lazz0 | LM22, vlc has contrast options also | 11:10 |
| Busybyeski | wols_: what exactly will defragmenting help with in the partition process? | 11:10 |
| ifireball | roundyz__: plenty of other things you can do before resorting to that, there is /etc/network/interfaces for example... | 11:10 |
| wols_ | it will make resizing possible in case the disk is fragmented | 11:10 |
| Busybyeski | if a defragmentation was performed yesterday, could it possibly be fragmented enough to not resize? | 11:11 |
| lazz0 | wols_, couldnt he use paragon partition manager for example, it can resize partitions with no data loss | 11:11 |
| LM22 | thanks everyone | 11:11 |
| LM22 | ttly | 11:11 |
| Fracture | hey, whenever i try to play some music, sound or log on (when the logon music plays) i get this ear piercing screeching noise out o my laptop | 11:11 |
| wols_ | lazz0: do you want to tell him he has to buy software? | 11:12 |
| Busybyeski | i was hoping to use default software haha | 11:12 |

Of course, he wrote that How-to in January of 2006. Is it better for me to download and extract a more recent version of the source code? Or is 0.9.6 alright? | 11:12 |
| lazz0 | well services are expensive | 11:12 |
| wols_ | gluonman: getting a deb should be fine | 11:12 |
| gluonman | wols_, what do you mean? | 11:12 |
| wols_ | lazz0: yes cause ubuntu costs you so much money | 11:12 |
| wols_ | gluonman: a WINE deb | 11:13 |
| Arilou | hi hi, sorry to bother but when I was installing it said it couldn't install some stuff, I think from internet, now I can't get to sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx | 11:13 |
| Paavi2_0 | gluonman: i think you'd be better of installin the default ubuntu package of wine through synaptic | 11:13 |
| Busybyeski | i would be willing to use either vista or ubuntu's partition managers | 11:13 |
| lazz0 | not me but mr african millionaire | 11:13 |
| wols_ | Arilou: give us the error message(s) | 11:13 |
| gluonman | wols_, you mean I don't need the source code after doing apt-get build-dep wine? | 11:13 |
| Busybyeski | people are telling me ubuntu's will be better | 11:13 |
| ifireball | gluonman: you should find a link with instructions how to add the wine repository to ubuntu on the wine website | 11:13 |
| wols_ | gluonman: you don't need to apt-get build-dep wine | 11:13 |
| lesshaste_ | I can turn off "tapping" in gsynaptics but how do I make that permanent? It gets turned back when I reboot | 11:13 |
| gluonman | Paavi2_0, the how-to strongly recommends not just installing wine from the repos to get WoW to work. | 11:14 |
| lene | join #ubuntu.de | 11:14 |
| gluonman | wols_, the How-To instructed me to. | 11:14 |
| ifireball | gluonman: no reason to compile from source code at all | 11:14 |
| khermans | lesshaste, MaxTapTime 0 in xorg | 11:14 |
| lene | join/#ubuntu.de | 11:14 |
| wols_ | the howto is more than 2 years old! the world has turned since then | 11:14 |
| gluonman | ifireball, I'm just trying to follow the how-to. | 11:14 |

| Arilou | wols_: E: Couldn't find package xorg-driver-fglrx | 11:14 |
| ifireball | gluonman: the win in the "regular" repos is old, but there is a "special" repo with newer wine version | 11:14 |
| Paavi2_0 | gluonman: that was a year ago, this isn't a "you'll get the service-pack within 8 months"-world :) | 11:14 |
| Busybyeski | khermans is that regarding a laptop touchpad tapping? | 11:14 |
| ifireball | gluonman: well, like you said its old | 11:15 |
| wols_ | !ati | Arilou | 11:15 |
| ubotu | Arilou: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 11:15 |
| khermans | Busybyeski, believe so | 11:15 |
| Arilou | !ati | 11:15 |
| ifireball | gluonman: alos I find that may HOWTOs are writen by newbes that make you do too much work... | 11:15 |
| Busybyeski | khermans i feel like my touchpad is more sensitive to tapping than in windows, what would i make taptime to stop that? | 11:15 |
| Arilou | wols_: I'm following that guide | 11:15 |
| gluonman | ifireball, right. Okay. I'll ignore the how-to, then. What is the new repo with the newer version of wine? | 11:15 |
| wols_ | Arilou: you lack some repositories | 11:15 |
| gluonman | ifireball, how do I add it? | 11:15 |
| wols_ | Arilou: to be exact: you miss restricted | 11:16 |
| Arilou | wols_: is there any way I can get them? | 11:16 |
| khermans | Busybyeski, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Synaptics_Touchpad | 11:16 |
| wols_ | gluonman: just install wine | 11:16 |
| Busybyeski | thanks | 11:16 |
| ifireball | gluonman: like I said, there should be instructions on the wine website | 11:16 |
| Naxa | wols_: There are some complications so i think 20 minutes after can i answer only | 11:16 |
| wols_ | !restricted | Arilou | 11:16 |

| Arilou | wols_: it says I got the latest restricted | 11:16 |
| gluonman | ifireball, okay. | 11:16 |
| gluonman | wols_, I had already run the command apt-get build-dep wine. How do I reverse that? Or will installing wine replace that? | 11:16 |
| wols_ | Arilou: then paste the FULL output and apt-cache policy xorg-driver-fglrx too | 11:17 |
| wols_ | gluonman: those things have nothing to do with the wine binaries | 11:17 |
| ifireball | gluonman: it just installed some packages you don;t need, no harm in that | 11:17 |
| gluonman | wols_, it used more than 300mb of space. If I don't need those packages, I just want to reverse the installation of them. | 11:18 |
| wols_ | gluonman: apt-get autoremove try that | 11:18 |
| Paavi2_0 | gluonman: if you want the cutting edge things then have a look at http://www.winehq.org/site/download | 11:18 |
| gluonman | wols_, okay. | 11:18 |
| wols_ | othrewise, check your dpkg.log to see what it installed and remove it again | 11:18 |
| linduxed2 | urgent problem: i made an update that required me to reboot the system and now i get kernel panic | 11:18 |
| gluonman | Paavi2_0, thanks. | 11:18 |
| ifireball | gluonman: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb | 11:18 |
| linduxed2 | i think the last line said something about VFS | 11:18 |
| wols_ | linduxed2: what error exactly? | 11:18 |
| wols_ | linduxed2: full output please | 11:18 |
| gluonman | ifireball, thanks. | 11:18 |
| linduxed2 | wols_ | 11:19 |
| wols_ | linduxed2: also pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l and the contents of your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 11:19 |
| linduxed2 | i cant remember right off the bat but ill reboot and see | 11:19 |
| gluonman | wols_, apt-get autoremove did nothing. | 11:19 |
| Zweisteine | Hello, I want to build a custom kernel with SLAB (to use fglrx and have suspend working on my laptop). Will using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile produce a kernel with the snd-hda-intel module and all the other modules under /lib/modules/,,/ubuntu? | 11:19 |
| linduxed2 | wols_ i cant get into the systemm | 11:19 |
| wols_ | linduxed2: first the fdisk output and your menu.lst | 11:19 |
| wols_ | linduxed2: where are you right now, what OS? | 11:20 |
| linduxed2 | windows xp | 11:20 |
| Arilou | wols_: It doesn't let me install Ubuntu Restricted Extras, it says "The List of applications is not available" | 11:20 |
| lesshaste_ | khermans, just saw your comment.. interesting so synaptics is completely irrelevant? | 11:20 |
| wols_ | then install expore2fs and you can get the menu.lst | 11:20 |
| wols_ | Arilou: use synaptic and anebaled restricted | 11:20 |
| khermans | lesshaste, not necessarily -- but you can utilize that command though | 11:20 |
| khermans | or synclient | 11:20 |
| khermans | or maxtaptime in xorg | 11:21 |
| linduxed2 | wols_: livedisk? | 11:21 |
| wols_ | linduxed2: that's a possibility too | 11:21 |
| khermans | anyone have any really hard questions? | 11:21 |
| khermans | just interested! | 11:21 |
| linduxed2 | wols_: then what? | 11:21 |
| wols_ | I told you what then | 11:21 |
| linduxed2 | oh sorry | 11:21 |
| lesshaste_ | khermans, yes.. how do you get network manager to save your wpa psk key | 11:21 |
| lesshaste_ | khermans, so you don't have to type it in each time | 11:21 |
| khermans | lesshaste, works for me | 11:21 |
| lesshaste_ | khermans, eh? What does | 11:22 |
| khermans | lesshaste, keyring | 11:22 |
| Stevethepirate | !cs | 11:22 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:22 |
| lesshaste_ | khermans, can you explain further? | 11:22 |
| khermans | lesshaste, first time you enter any passwords for services, keyring manager will ask you to save them | 11:22 |
| Stevethepirate | Anyone here ever hosted a counter strike server on linux? [cs1.6] | 11:22 |
| wols_ | !anyone | Stevethepirate | 11:22 |
| ubotu | Stevethepirate: 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? | 11:22 |
| khermans | Stevethepirate, yes! | 11:22 |
| lesshaste_ | khermans, not with me it doesn't .. how do you set that up? | 11:23 |
| haary | which file system would you recommend for a large filesystem with large files on it (up to 1 TB)? | 11:23 |
| Stevethepirate | khermans: really? | 11:23 |
| khermans | lesshaste, gnome-keyring-manager | 11:23 |
| wols_ | haary: xfs. but have a UPS | 11:23 |
| lesshaste_ | khermans, there are many threads online where people have the same problem as me so I am very interested in your solution | 11:23 |
| khermans | lesshaste, are you familiar with keyring? | 11:24 |
| lesshaste_ | khermans, not really | 11:24 |
| lesshaste_ | installing it now | 11:24 |
| thyrax | haary: I just built a 2TB server I used xfs much better than ext3 | 11:24 |
| lesshaste_ | do I need to do anything else apart from install it? | 11:24 |
| khermans | lesshaste, if you use gnome, its already installed | 11:24 |
| thyrax | 2TB formatted :) | 11:25 |
| khermans | haary, or reiser4 :-p | 11:25 |
| lesshaste_ | khermans, I am on xubuntu | 11:25 |
| thyrax | 2TB formatted raid 5 :) | 11:25 |
| khermans | lesshaste, oh then you dont have it | 11:25 |
| lesshaste_ | khermans, I do now .. just installed it :) | 11:25 |
| khermans | hehe but you may need to start it manually | 11:25 |
| wols_ | khermans: please don't give jokes to people asking serious questions | 11:25 |

| ikonia | Matrix: vista can't boot a cd | 11:31 |
| ikonia | Matrix: vista is an operating system, so if it's running it's already booted | 11:31 |
| Matrix | how i dual boot ubuntu? | 11:31 |
| ownlinux | ? | 11:31 |
| Matrix | i heard its been done | 11:31 |
| lesshaste_ | wols_, was the keyring advice wrong? | 11:31 |
| * ifireball wonders why ppl wonder about vista | 11:31 | |
| ikonia | Matrix: boot from the ubuntu cd and install vista | 11:31 |
| ownlinux | grub | 11:31 |

| wols_ | lesshaste_: the reiser4 thing was | 11:31 |
| ikonia | Matrix: boot from the ubuntu cd and install ubuntu | 11:31 |

| lesshaste_ | wols_, do I need to start the gnome-keyring-manager somewhere? | 11:32 |
| Matrix | damn Lol (I only have a recovery cd (I Diden want to buy vista when i boet this pc) | 11:32 |
| wols_ | Matrix: install windows, then install ubuntu and it's done | 11:32 |

| ifireball | epifanio: virtual hosts? | 11:34 |
| Matrix | What is wubi? | 11:34 |
| epifanio | yes, virtualhost | 11:34 |
| khermans | nikglass, you prolly use ndiswrapper | 11:34 |
| Matrix | arh | 11:34 |
| khermans | this is not possible | 11:34 |
| wols_ | epifanio: ae2nsite | 11:35 |

| epifanio | tring to follow apache docs ... without success | 11:35 |
| ikonia | Matrix: wubi is not supported - don't use it | 11:35 |
| nikglass | khermans, what do I need to do? | 11:35 |
| khermans | nikglass, are you using ndiswrapper? | 11:35 |
| ifireball | epifanio: afaik, that's not configured in Apache, you need to have the proper domain name pointing to your server | 11:35 |
| Ademan | for some reason "keyboard repeat" is turned off (i mean when you hold down a given key it normally would repeat after a short pause, but it stopped doing that) i've no idea what happened, but if anyone knows how to fix it i'd be very grateful, it's driving me nuts | 11:35 |
| khermans | ikonia, he said he had no other way | 11:35 |
| khermans | Ademan, check BIOS | 11:36 |
| ikonia | khermans: thats nonsense | 11:36 |
| ifireball | epifanio: do you want the Apache to server more then one site? | 11:36 |
| nikglass | dont know I dont think so... I'm new to this :) | 11:36 |
| khermans | ikonia, thats what he said | 11:36 |
| ifireball | epifanio: do you want the Apache to serve more then one site? | 11:36 |
| linduxe1 | wols_: ok im ubuntu livecd now | 11:36 |
| DIA_XO_Matrix | hre i am with windows Lol | 11:36 |
| wols_ | linduxe1: I asked you to pastebin a few things | 11:36 |
| Ademan | khermans: well, it happened in the middle of a session, not between a reboot, still could be bios? | 11:36 |
| epifanio | no just one index.html (only one sites) | 11:36 |
| J-E-L-L-0 | Quick, and probably dumb question, is Samba installed by default on Ubuntu Server 6.06? | 11:36 |
| khermans | ---> <Matrix> so i have to run the ubuntu setup IN Windows | 11:36 |
| khermans | adante, prolly not | 11:37 |
| DIA_XO_Matrix | yes? | 11:37 |
| wols_ | Ademan: considering ubuntu doesn't care about BIOS to access hardware: it never could be BIOS | 11:37 |
| khermans | DIA_XO_Matrix, why cant you use ubuntu live cd to install? | 11:37 |
| ifireball | epifanio: does the server have a real IP (visible from the internet) ? | 11:37 |
| Ademan | J-E-L-L-0: i don't really know, but that sure is old ubuntu | 11:37 |
| epifanio | yes | 11:37 |
| DIA_XO_Matrix | Becaus it gave me an error (Now ofc i cant rember it lol) | 11:37 |
| Ademan | wols_: ah, well then is there a setting in GNOME or something? | 11:38 |
| linduxe1 | wols_: http://pastebin.ca/826715 | 11:38 |
| epifanio | i'm able to coonect from internet | 11:38 |
| wols_ | no clue, sorry | 11:38 |
| J-E-L-L-0 | wasn't sure i should use the newer server on older (p3 server) hardware. all i want is a file server.... | 11:38 |
| ifireball | J-E-L-L-0: afaik, no | 11:38 |
| ikonia | jenda: a P3 box is great ! | 11:38 |
| wols_ | linduxe1: menu.lst too | 11:38 |
| Naxa | i've got 2 gb of ram... is it enough to do a 0.5 gb swat? | 11:38 |
| jenda | ikonia: not me ;) | 11:38 |
| Ademan | J-E-L-L-0: i don't think a newer version is going to be significantly more hardware intensive than an older version, i highly reccomend using a newer version | 11:38 |
| linduxe1 | wols_: i switched to lilo from grub so youll get that | 11:38 |
| khermans | J-E-L-L-0, file serving is not CPU intensive | 11:39 |
| ikonia | jenda: ? | 11:39 |
| J-E-L-L-0 | ok thanks ifireball, i'll see about installing it myself then | 11:39 |
| ikonia | ooh | 11:39 |
| ikonia | oops | 11:39 |
| ifireball | epifanio: do you own that domain name that you want pointing to your server? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | jenda: sorry | 11:39 |
| Fracture | why every time i try to do sudo apt-get .... does the package have no installationg candidate | 11:39 |
| J-E-L-L-0 | i was thinking more along the lines of hardware recognition and compatibility | 11:39 |
| Ademan | J-E-L-L-0: but if it's not installed by default it's very easy to install on your own | 11:39 |
| wols_ | Fracture: which package? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | J-E-L-L-0: a P3 box will be fine | 11:39 |
| ifireball | J-E-L-L-0: simple mater of apt-getting it... | 11:39 |
| Fracture | well | 11:39 |
| J-E-L-L-0 | this server is way overkill then.. 1Ghz Xeon P3's x 2... | 11:39 |

| Ademan | J-E-L-L-0: haha, wow, unless you're serving a lot of people that's more than enough, but in the future don't be afraid to use more recent versions, with very few exceptions hardware support can only improve :-p | 11:41 |
| Fracture | o ye another thing, when ever i try playing music or sound a massive screeching noise comes out, that pierces my ears | 11:41 |
| Fracture | it happens when i log on aswell | 11:41 |
| Ademan | Fracture: your sound is broken, horribly | 11:41 |
| Busybyeski | wow this is my first windows backup, which i thought was happening automatically. talk about a halt to the whole install process | 11:41 |
| J-E-L-L-0 | yeah and i think its got like 2 or 3gb RAM too.. maybe i'll run some other things on it too... though i don't know what just yet..... | 11:41 |
| ifireball | where is the guy that wanted hard questions? | 11:41 |
| Ademan | Fracture: normally there'd be a sound clip that plays when you log in, so it seems every time a sound should play you get that screeching | 11:41 |
| J-E-L-L-0 | thanks for teh help guys : ) | 11:42 |
| khermans | wols_, how do i get rid of the "free the fish" | 11:42 |
| Fracture | no i can hear the sound clip under it | 11:42 |
| Fracture | i have vista dual booted on here | 11:42 |
| Fracture | and | 11:42 |
| Fracture | that sound works fine | 11:42 |

| wols_ | linduxe1: what has dmesg to do with your problem? | 11:45 |
| Ademan | Fracture: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) is mine (heh) it works fine, i guess your sound chipset is a bit too new, are you on gutsy or what? | 11:45 |
| Fracture | its a laptop | 11:45 |

| khermans | how do i reverse the "free the fish" action in Gnome/ | 11:46 |
| khermans | ? | 11:46 |
| J-E-L-L-0 | i would say theres a setting in the bios to change the sound from high def to regular ac97... but im not sure that would affect ubuntu | 11:46 |
| wols_ | linduxe1: you recreate a proper lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo again | 11:47 |
| linduxe1 | wols_: roger | 11:47 |

| Busybyeski | okay, i'm going through the install process now | 12:06 |

| BentBriar | join #cross-lfs | 12:08 |
| gluonman | Does anyone have a clue what's going on with my webcam? It works fine in testing, but freezes when I broadcast it in Kopete. | 12:08 |
| intelikey | minus a p3 coppermine does support thermal doesn't it ? | 12:08 |
| lesshaste_ | khermans, I'm on gibbon but I hope it's the same | 12:08 |
| minus | wols_, From their homepage. | 12:08 |
| wols_ | minus: then ask them and not #ubuntu? | 12:08 |
| minus | intelikey, I don't know.. | 12:08 |
| lesshaste_ | gluonman, does it work in skype video for example? | 12:08 |
| minus | wols_, maybe I should. | 12:08 |
| gluonman | lesshaste_, I haven't actually used skype. | 12:08 |
| intelikey | minus ok. | 12:08 |
| lesshaste_ | gluonman, might be worth testing | 12:08 |
| gluonman | lesshaste_, but it works fine using camorama. | 12:09 |
| lesshaste_ | gluonman, ah... then maybe it's a kopete issue | 12:09 |
| wols_ | minus: fyi, ubuntu ships with madwifi drivers by default | 12:09 |
| lesshaste_ | gluonman, have you asked them? | 12:09 |
| gluonman | lesshaste_, It could be. I was hoping that I might be able to install a plugin or something to make it work. | 12:09 |
| Busybyeski | wols_: i've got a /dev/scd0 and a /dev/sda | 12:09 |
| khermans | lesshaste, yes | 12:09 |
| gluonman | lesshaste_, asked who? | 12:09 |
| Busybyeski | is the cd0 the cd drive? | 12:09 |
| lesshaste_ | gluonman, the kopete people | 12:09 |
| gluonman | lesshaste_, no. | 12:09 |
| wols_ | Busybyeski: /dev/sda is your disk, /dev/scd0 is a cdrom | 12:09 |
| minus | wols_, Yeah, I noticed when I did "make install" cause there where already a bunch of modules in /lib/modules/ | 12:10 |

| gluonman | wolfeySI, I already have aMSN. I'll give it a try there. | 12:10 |

| aladdinsane | Pici: ok thnx, bu now i got uuid 0000-0000 instead, so i guess same problem, or doesn't my flash card have a UUID? | 12:14 |
| lesshaste_ | gluonman, can I ask which country you are in? | 12:14 |
| cookie | Or which yahoo messenger is best for linux? to support voice/video | 12:14 |
| gluonman | lesshaste_, I'm in Polynesia. | 12:15 |

| lesshaste_ | gluonman, oh :) and wow! | 12:15 |
| intelikey | anyone can help me get some info into /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ or is that beyond the scope of the official ubuntu support channel ? | 12:15 |
| sKy\ | cookie depends on what you want | 12:15 |
| cookie | I want a yahoo messenger client that supports voice/webcam | 12:15 |
| Pici | aladdinsane: I would think that it would get a uuid, but I havent actually checked... and no flash drives for me to test here. | 12:16 |
| MrKirby1984 | who here knows anything about ati problems, related to 7-11 | 12:16 |

| lesshaste_ | gluonman, cool :) | 12:16 |
| cookie | not really | 12:16 |
| cookie | all my friends use yahoo | 12:16 |
| lesshaste_ | cookie, then you may be SOL as they say in the states :) | 12:16 |
| cookie | I can not make them switch | 12:16 |
| cookie | SOL | 12:16 |
| cookie | wtf is SOL | 12:16 |
| aladdinsane | Pici, my other flash drive does have one so i dont know either.. | 12:16 |
| lesshaste_ | try asking in #kopete and #pidgin | 12:16 |
| cookie | thanks | 12:17 |
| lesshaste_ | cookie, S out of luck | 12:17 |
| intelikey | anyone ? | 12:17 |
| Pici | SOL is a bit outside of the family friendly language that we ask that users abide by in this channel. | 12:17 |
| aladdinsane | anybody know why my flash drive gets/has UUID 0000-0000? and if this is normal.. | 12:17 |
| lesshaste_ | cookie, ideally you get them all to move to something SIP compatible | 12:17 |
| sKy\ | lesshaste_ pidgin supports no audio/vidoe right now. but it`s planed, or got it dropped? | 12:17 |
| lesshaste_ | sKy\, it did for a bit then got mostly dropped | 12:18 |

| sKy\ | well, there is no messenger like skype for voice chats, working out of the box | 12:18 |
| sKy\ | there is sip, but sip is complicated, buggy... | 12:18 |

| apfel_ | what is the password I need to enter for "System / Administration / ..." (in gnome)? I set the root password but this does not work there | 12:19 |
| Pici | apfel_: You need to use your users password. | 12:19 |
| Pici | !sudo | apfel_ | 12:19 |
| ubotu | apfel_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 12:19 |
| lesshaste_ | sKy\, that's right.. it's sad really | 12:19 |
| sKy\ | apfel_ in ubuntu there is no root afaik. you must use sudo | 12:19 |
| MrKirby1984 | for samba windows sharing there are a few good how tos online | 12:19 |
| lesshaste_ | sKy\, you can be root if you really want to be..sudo bash :) | 12:20 |
| g00se | neus: Mount the share using smbfs | 12:20 |
| Pici | sKy\: There is root, just the password is locked. | 12:20 |
| rhorstkoetter | hi@all. i read kubuntu 8.04 will not be LTS release. same for ubuntu as well? | 12:20 |
| apfel_ | Pici: aah, stupid me. thank you<1 | 12:20 |
| lesshaste_ | how do you run something in the background that you run with sudo? | 12:20 |
| lesshaste_ | sudo foo & | 12:20 |
| lesshaste_ | doesn't work | 12:20 |
| sKy\ | apfel_ there are some instructions on google to enable root anyway, but you won`t need it. just use sudo | 12:20 |
| Pici | rhorstkoetter: No. Kubuntu will not be LTS only because it is going to include KDE4. | 12:20 |
| lesshaste_ | sudo "foo &" ? | 12:20 |
| wolfeySI | lesshaste_: since when? | 12:21 |
| Pici | lesshaste_: That should work. | 12:21 |
| lesshaste_ | wolfeySI, ? | 12:21 |
| lesshaste_ | Pici, which one? | 12:21 |
| Pici | rhorstkoetter: er. and Ubuntu 8.04 will be LTS, sorry if that wasn't clear. | 12:21 |
| wolfeySI | skype for linux doesnt have video, i checked their page and forums and blogs zillion times | 12:21 |
| lesshaste_ | wolfeySI, sudo foo & puts sudo into the background so you can't enter your password | 12:21 |
| rhorstkoetter | Pici: also read this, but does it make sense to release ubuntu 8.04 as LTS and kubuntu not? *confused* | 12:21 |
| lesshaste_ | wolfeySI, it does :) | 12:21 |
| apfel_ | sKy\: thanks but I already enabled it and I like stuff like "su"ing without a password (wheel). I just didn't know the other password, which is just the one of my user | 12:21 |
| Pici | wolfeySI: iirc, the skype beta has video. | 12:21 |
| lesshaste_ | wolfeySI, I am running it | 12:21 |
| sKy\ | ok | 12:21 |
| lesshaste_ | wolfeySI, check version 2 beta | 12:21 |
| Pici | apfel_: You don't know your user's password??? | 12:22 |
| wolfeySI | ahh so that's new | 12:22 |
| lesshaste_ | yep :) | 12:22 |
| lesshaste_ | it's pretty cool and as always almost works perfectly :) | 12:22 |
| g00se | wolfeySI: Tried wengo? | 12:22 |
| Pici | rhorstkoetter: We had a long discussion over this in #ubuntu+1 (which is probably where we should be discussing this) yesterday.. | 12:22 |
| apfel_ | Pici: nah, I just didn't know I had to use it when clicking system / administration / ... :) | 12:22 |
| wolfeySI | i last checked some half year ago, there was no date set for that | 12:22 |
| wolfeySI | although users complained about video for two damn years | 12:22 |

| Arilou | hi there, sorry to bother again, I do "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" and I get "E: Broken packages" | 12:23 |
| g00se | sky\: Why you laugh? | 12:23 |
| wols_ | gluonman: it means another program has it already open | 12:24 |
| wols_ | gluonman: dsp or alsa? | 12:24 |
| gluonman | wols_, but I don't see any program that would tie up the sound card so much that it would prevent sound from coming from my laptop. | 12:24 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | how do i look at my DNS files? | 12:24 |
| gluonman | wols_, all I have open is xchat, an installer, and a file folder. | 12:24 |
| wols_ | gluonman: gnome already opens the sound device via esd | 12:25 |
| ifireball | NeT_DeMoN_: what do you mean by that exactly? | 12:25 |
| g00se | Running Gutsy LiveCD. What's best way to take strain off RAM when installing new packages by using mounted partition on local HD? | 12:25 |
| sKy\ | g00se i couldn`t recommend wengo. it`s very bad... (this unless) acitivation doesn`t come, server is often not working, online status is messed up, connections break, to much bugs... | 12:25 |
| MrKirby1984 | so, anybody that can help me with a compiz problem with a radeon x1600 and latest ati drivers? I ALMOST have it working | 12:25 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | ifireball: like my host files | 12:25 |
| gluonman | wols_, The only thing I can think of is that I ran WoW briefly and then shut it off. maybe that did something to the sound card. | 12:25 |
| g00se | sky\: Thanks - i haven't tried it yet ;-) | 12:25 |
| wols_ | MrKirby1984: you need xserver-xgl | 12:25 |
| gluonman | wols_, probably something I could easily fix with a reboot. | 12:25 |
| ifireball | NeT_DeMoN_: just type "cat /etc/hosts" from the console | 12:25 |
| MrKirby1984 | yeah, but that sux | 12:25 |
| MrKirby1984 | already did that | 12:26 |
| gluonman | wols_, but I was just hoping I could fix it without a reboot. | 12:26 |
| lesshaste_ | gluonman, have you tried openwengo? | 12:26 |
| MrKirby1984 | trying to get aiglx to work | 12:26 |

| NeT_DeMoN_ | ifireball: ok, thanks | 12:26 |
| gluonman | lesshaste_, what the hell is that? | 12:26 |
| wols_ | MrKirby1984: where did you get your fglrx? | 12:26 |
| MrKirby1984 | it enables desktop effects, but screen gets all messed up | 12:26 |

| lesshaste_ | gluonman, which google do you get where you are? | 12:26 |
| Arilou | hi there, sorry to bother again, I do "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" and I get "E: Broken packages" | 12:26 |

| guyvdb_ | Hi, I am trying to get a wirless network card working... it uses the RT61 driver. I read rt61pci is broken and downloaded and compiled rt61 from ralinktech. I do a modprobe --remove rt61pci and then modprobe rt61 and get error unknowen symbol pci_module_init ... any ideas? | 12:37 |
| gluonman | Paavi2_0, pawan, Kopete is better than Pidgin. | 12:37 |
| NineTeen67Comet | 0,15,30,45 * * * * /etc/init.d/networking restart .. this correct for every 15 minutes? | 12:37 |
| ifireball | NineTeen67Comet: that's not such a good idea | 12:38 |
| Arilou | wols_:thanks I¡ll try =) | 12:38 |
| elkbuntu | dave81, you almost sound like an ad bot :Þ | 12:38 |

| Paavi2_0 | gluonman: might be...haven't used it | 12:38 |
| ifireball | NineTeen67Comet: correct syntax though, also, you probably need that in the root crontab | 12:38 |
| NineTeen67Comet | ifireball: I've been hacking at that box for about 2 months with no results. The drop isn't predictable and there are no errors to read through .. running a cron is about my last resort. | 12:38 |
| dave81 | lol sory | 12:38 |
| gluonman | Paavi2_0, it's more capable than Pidgin. | 12:38 |
| g00se | ifireball: Agreed. At most, just bring the one interface back up | 12:38 |
| wols_ | NineTeen67Comet: what driver do you use? and what chip is it? | 12:39 |
| ifireball | NineTeen67Comet: like g00se said, use ifdow/up to mess with just the relevant interface | 12:39 |
| Paavi2_0 | gluonman: pidgin is the ubuntu default, so the newbies should stick to it | 12:39 |
| wolfeySI | shane2peru: try VGA= at boot.. (google: vga modes) ... it should be added as parameter to kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst or something | 12:39 |

| wolfeySI | amsn! | 12:39 |
| shane2peru | wolfeySI, yeah I was looking in my menu.lst and didn't see anything to change. | 12:39 |
| shane2peru | I have never had this problem with Ubuntu before | 12:40 |
| gluonman | Paavi2_0, sure, but Kopete isn't difficult for newbies. The only difference is that it's better and you have to install it. | 12:40 |

| Belisarivs | Hi all. | 12:55 |
| lesshaste_ | why on earth is only a broken version of azureus in the standard packages for gusty gibbon and the (quite old) fixed version in backports?? | 12:55 |
| Belisarivs | I have problem with Ubuntu. Could someone help me? | 12:55 |
| lesshaste_ | gutsy | 12:55 |
| g00se | windego40: you need to find out what iphone-mount does | 12:55 |
| Pici | !ask | Belisarivs | 12:56 |
| ubotu | Belisarivs: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 12:56 |
| dave81 | Belisarivs: ask away | 12:56 |
| lesshaste_ | azureus 2.5.0.4 came out a long time ago | 12:56 |
| Belisarivs | OK | 12:56 |
| Pici | lesshaste_: When? | 12:56 |
| windego40 | hhhmmm well im following the instructions from "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone" if that helps :| | 12:57 |
| Belisarivs | After logging in, GNOME takes ages to start when not connected to the internet. | 12:57 |
| windego40 | im sorta new to all this | 12:57 |
| g00se | man iphone-mount (?) | windego40 | 12:57 |
| Belisarivs | Also gnome apps and mc rake too much time to start. | 12:58 |
| lesshaste_ | Pici, certainly before March 2007 | 12:58 |
| Belisarivs | I have Core Duo notebook with 2GB RAM. | 12:58 |
| Belisarivs | What if I did strace of mc and upload it somewhere? | 12:58 |
| Pici | lesshaste_: Likely the amount of changes needed to get a newer version to work properly were too big of a task. | 12:59 |
| lesshaste_ | Pici, any idea what is going on? The version that comes with gutsy is basically broken | 12:59 |
| windego40 | just says it handles the mounting basically | 12:59 |
| Belisarivs | Any idea? | 12:59 |
| ifireball | Belisarivs: its a reverse resolution problem, upload your /etc/hosts file to pastebin | 12:59 |
| lesshaste_ | Pici, hmm.. that's odd | 12:59 |
| Pici | lesshaste_: But you said yourself that the one in backports is fixed. | 12:59 |

| ifireball | shane2peru: the desktop itself is in the right size? | 13:10 |
| shane2peru | ifireball, yes, everything else works fine, this is a fresh install of Gutsy | 13:10 |
| Pici | shane2peru: Did those changes have any effect? Are you sure you were making them to the right grub line? | 13:10 |
| g00se | windego40: According to those docs you should be mounting with sshfs | 13:11 |
| shane2peru | Pici, no, I tried a bunch of different settings, even used vga=ask and didin't get anywhere. | 13:11 |
| uchazco | Hi.. on 7.10 I have to keep rebooting to get my USB keyboard to work... didnt happen on 7.04... any ideas? | 13:11 |
| shane2peru | Pici, I had Gutsy installed before, and didn't have a problem, then I re-installed, it doesn't work. ?? | 13:12 |
| windego40 | g00se: i just tried it using sshfs but still says mount point isnt empty | 13:12 |
| ifireball | shane2peru: well, one thing you can do is disable the splash screen altogether, boot with the "nosplash" parameter | 13:12 |
| Pici | shane2peru: What video card? | 13:12 |
| Belisarivs | <ifireball>Thank you kindly. It works. Perfact. | 13:13 |
| g00se | windego40: Why not empty it then? | 13:13 |
| Belisarivs | Perfect. | 13:13 |
| shane2peru | ifireball, yes, I could, but it has worked on everything I have ever run it since Breezy days. :) | 13:13 |
| ifireball | Belisarivs: glad to help | 13:13 |
| shane2peru | Pici, i910 Intel | 13:13 |
| Pici | shane2peru: And have you done all your updates? | 13:13 |
| Belisarivs | May I shoot in one morequestion? | 13:13 |
| shane2peru | Pici, yep that was my first step. | 13:13 |
| * danja wonders what a polite pause is before asking again | 13:13 | |
| ifireball | Belisarivs: shoot | 13:13 |
| windego40 | g00se: i dont know what point im supposed to empty | 13:14 |

| Ward1983 | is it possible to use SLI in ubuntu?+ and if not, is there an alternative? | 13:14 |

Same effect wired or wireless, I think I've knobbled all the ipv6 stuff, nothing obvious in tcpdump (although I don't really know what I'm looking for) | 13:14 |
| g00se | windego40: What sshfs are you issuing? | 13:14 |
| shane2peru | Pichi, the only thing I did was backed up my installed menu.lst and replaced it with my old menu.lst because I have a bunch of stuff in there | 13:14 |
| guyvdb_ | I am trying to setup a wirless card. I have managed to compile and install RT61 driver. I am not sure what needs to be configured. If I iwlist iface scan on my laptop i see a bunch of AP's. If i do it on my desktop... none... | 13:15 |
| tuna | Is there a way to set a proxy to be used systemwide by everything that supports it? | 13:15 |
| snkmad | Pici and thx | 13:15 |
| shane2peru | It worked before with a Gutsy install, same hardware, nothing else has changed. | 13:15 |
| Pici | shane2peru: Are you sure that you were editing the right grub line? | 13:15 |
| g00se | windego40: i.e. what sshfs command are you issuing? | 13:15 |
| windego40 | g00se: its at /var/root/Media/ /media/ipod | 13:15 |
| tuna | I can only connect the web by proxy from one place, and looking for the settings for each individual program is a pain | 13:15 |
| shane2peru | yes, when I added vga=ask it asked me to pick from a list | 13:15 |
| Pici | shane2peru: Okay. | 13:16 |
| ifireball | danja: what do you mean by "try to get" ? | 13:16 |
| Ward1983 | guyvdb_, i never had to compile drivers for my wifi cards, but are you sure that there actually are AP's in the neighbourhood? | 13:16 |
| Belisarivs | How to start terminals in other screens (to switch to them by Ctrl+Alt+F*). After pressing these, I could switch to another terminal. But now there is just black screen where it is impossible to log in? Is my question clear or too confusing? | 13:16 |
| Belisarivs | It's perhaps harder to explain. | 13:16 |
| shane2peru | Pici, I'm going to replace it with the original it had and reboot and see if it works with the original. | 13:16 |
| Pici | shane2peru: Okay, good luck | 13:16 |
| g00se | windego40: Try emptying /media/ipod (Backup first if you need stuff in it) | 13:16 |
| shane2peru | this is crazy it should work the way it is though. | 13:16 |
| guyvdb_ | Ward1983: I have my laptop and my desktop. Wirless working in laptop and sees AP's ... desktop tying to config sees no aps | 13:17 |
| Pici | shane2peru: do a diff between the two files first, perhaps they are identical. | 13:17 |
| ifireball | Belisarivs: you press ctrl+alt+F1 and get a blank screen? | 13:17 |
| Ward1983 | guyvdb_, no idea then, my cards allways got detected plug and play in ubuntu | 13:17 |
| guyvdb_ | Ward1983: what needs to be set with iwconfig before you can see ap on iwlist ... scan | 13:17 |
| shane2peru | Pici, never used that before 'man diff' I assume will give me the idea? | 13:17 |
| void | some can write my nick ? (void) | 13:18 |

| Pici | void: please test your hilighting in a different channel, like #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:18 |
| Ward1983 | void highlighttest | 13:18 |
| Ward1983 | lol sorry | 13:18 |
| Belisarivs | Yes. Without option to log in. There was usually text asking for log in. Perhaps I screwed something and I don't know how to fix it. | 13:18 |
| Paavi2_0 | has anyone got any idea how to fix this problem?: just updated kernel to 2.6.22-14-generic and now my system (7.10 amd64) refuses to boot cleanly and i get repeated error messages like: "[ 98.234539] device-mapper: table: 254: 7: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed" i was able to boot cleanly and start gnome, when i selected the previous kernel on grub...what should i do? | 13:18 |
| windego40 | g00se: hmmm it looks like the folders has the things fromy my ipod but i dont see it mounted on my comp | 13:18 |
| Pici | shane2peru: It should, but You could just do a visual comparison of the kernel lines, that might be faster. | 13:18 |
| Belisarivs | Yes, I can go back to Xes. | 13:18 |
| shane2peru | pici, no, I know there are a bunch of diferences, I have commented out and kept all old installations of Suse, PCLinux OS, Gentoo, Slack etc. | 13:19 |
| Belisarivs | There just isn't running tty | 13:19 |
| osman123 | hi I do new install 7.10 but first problems dns after ubuntu not install update status faild? why problems? | 13:19 |
| Pici | shane2peru: okay. | 13:19 |
| Belisarivs | Where is problem? Should be getty run on startup? | 13:19 |
| windego40 | g00se: think a reboot will remove the mount? | 13:19 |
| Ward1983 | guyvdb_, sorry i don't know how tot setup using iwconfig, never needed to do that | 13:20 |

| osman123 | but it is not update packet | 13:20 |
| g00se | windego40: Anyway it looks like it's mounted - isn't that the objective? | 13:20 |
| ifireball | Belisarivs: getty is supposed to be run by init, there sould be 6 such lines in /etc/inittab | 13:20 |
| Belisarivs | Cool. Thanks Pici. | 13:21 |
| Sharpie | i messed alot with the startup services and now i just want to return it all to default, is there any reference to it or anything (so i can see how everything was by default)? | 13:21 |
| Pici | Belisarivs: Unfortunately, its a known issue. | 13:21 |
| Belisarivs | <ifireball>Pici suggested sudo modprobe vga16fb andsudo modprobe fbcon and it helped. | 13:21 |

| Belisarivs | <ifireball>Thanks, but I know. I have "some experience" with Linux. | 13:25 |
| Sharpie | i messed with the startup services and i want to return it to default, is there anywhere where i can see what the defaults are? (like an online reference)? | 13:25 |
| ikonia | Sharpie: download the deb and unpack it | 13:25 |
| ifireball | Belisarivs: just making sure. wouldn't want you hosing your system because of me ;) | 13:25 |
| Sharpie | ikonia: the deb of what? | 13:25 |
| ikonia | Sharpie: whatever you messed with | 13:25 |
| Belisarivs | bah, no need to worry. :) | 13:26 |
| Sharpie | ikonia: i just cancelled some of the services | 13:26 |
| shane2peru | if I delete the splash out of my menu.lst that should get rid of my boot screen thing? | 13:26 |
| Sharpie | ikonia: and i can't remember how it was before | 13:26 |
| ikonia | Sharpie: I you said you messed with them and want to see the defaults | 13:26 |
| ikonia | Sharpie: so download the deb and unpack it, it will contain the startup script | 13:26 |

| Sharpie | ikonia: i'm talking about stuff like klogd | 13:27 |
| Sharpie | ikonia: or sysklogd | 13:27 |
| ikonia | Sharpie: syslog is a package | 13:27 |
| ikonia | Sharpie: so download the deb for it and unpack it | 13:27 |
| Sharpie | ikonia: i can't just redownload everything :/ | 13:27 |
| Ward1983 | lol virtually everything is a package | 13:27 |
| ikonia | Sharpie: then you should have taken a backup before messing around | 13:27 |
| Sharpie | ikonia: isn't there like a screenshot of the defaults online somewhere? :/ | 13:28 |
| ikonia | Sharpie: no | 13:28 |
| Sharpie | ikonia: sux :| | 13:28 |

| Ward1983 | a adsl modem sometimes has a router (and dhcp server) baked in | 13:31 |

| bascule | osman123: add new/different sources using synaptc | 13:43 |
| danja | ifireball, yes | 13:43 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: mdadm running, don't know about lvm though, might be... | 13:43 |
| kakoonia | hey | 13:43 |
| ikonia | Paavi2_0: ok, so do you have a raid array | 13:43 |
| ifireball | danja: ok. do you know which network interface you're using? | 13:43 |
| bascule | danja: could be, I have seen dhcp fail for no reason on some routers | 13:43 |
| Ward1983 | is there a bot that i can query to see when someone was last online in the channel? | 13:43 |
| ifireball | bascule: it may be an MTU problem | 13:44 |
| osman123 | how to it | 13:44 |
| bascule | ifireball: never thought of that, seen MTU break SSL | 13:44 |
| danja | bascule, I get the same effect giving the machine a static ip :-( | 13:44 |
| osman123 | I beginner | 13:44 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: so it's raid problem :( what can i do? (anything else that removing/outcommenting the lines for newest kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst?) | 13:44 |
| ifireball | danja: run "ifconfig" see that is the MTU value for your network interface | 13:45 |
| kakoonia | ive got a sound problem, i think its because i installed a kernel update, suddenly my sound card device name, disappeared from the sound propeties menu.. now i cant hear nothing, i was wondering if someone can help me out with updating the module back again.. with modprobe.. if thats the solution needed in this situation? | 13:45 |
| Pici | Ward1983: If the person is registered you can do `/msg nickserv info username` But thats just for last time they were on Freenode. We dont have anything on a channel by channel basis. | 13:45 |
| Killerpope | does anybody know why ubuntu 7.10 amd64 wont install on my laptop (acer aspire 5920 with Intel 64 Core 2 Duo T7300)? | 13:45 |
| ikonia | Paavi2_0: are you running a raid array | 13:45 |
| ^sa^ | hello. i need help for the configuration of my wlan | 13:45 |
| rudihawk | killerpope - what error do you get? | 13:45 |
| Pici | osman123: Go to System>Administration>Software Sources | 13:45 |
| rudihawk | ^sa^ shoot :P | 13:45 |
| danja | ifireball, MTU is 1500 on both i/fs I've been using | 13:46 |
| Paavi2_0 | Killerpope: its _amd_ 64, your laptop is _intel_ | 13:46 |
| Ward1983 | Pici, so nothing if they're not registered? (i ran into someone who askedabout linux yesterday, promised him i would try to bed here) | 13:46 |
| Ward1983 | want to make sure i didnt miss him | 13:46 |
| ^sa^ | the problem is that i tried to do almost anything | 13:46 |
| ^sa^ | but the solution must be very simple | 13:46 |
| Killerpope | Paavi2_0: on ubuntu.com it says that it's for 64 bit processors of amd and intel | 13:46 |
| Pici | Killerpope: Paavi2_0: AMD64 install will work on any CPU that is EMT64 compatible. | 13:46 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: i only have one sata-disk attached | 13:46 |
| ^sa^ | because on live cd wireless works so fine | 13:46 |
| bascule | danja: can you check the MTU on the router? | 13:46 |
| ifireball | danja: ok, we need some host you can ping, do you know the address for your ISPs home page? | 13:46 |
| Pici | Killerpope: Which is practically all consumer 64bit cpus. | 13:46 |
| Killerpope | rudihawk: my screen simply shuts down | 13:46 |
| osman123 | pici open it what do now | 13:46 |
| ikonia | Paavi2_0: so why is mdadm running | 13:47 |
| xjdriver69 | !gpg | 13:47 |
| ubotu | gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts | 13:47 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: no idea, puzzles me | 13:47 |
| ^sa^ | rudihawk you read? | 13:47 |
| Pici | osman123: From the 'download from' box, pick 'other' then find your country and any listing under that. | 13:47 |
| ikonia | Paavi2_0: please put the boot lines of your menu.lst in a pastebin | 13:47 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: ok | 13:47 |
| danja | ifireball, now pinging what I think is the isps homepage | 13:48 |
| osman123 | pici: Download from sever for türkiye | 13:48 |
| ^sa^ | can anybody help? | 13:48 |
| ifireball | danja: ok, stop it, do you get any packet loss? | 13:48 |
| danja | 203ms-ish (on the win machine it measured about 300 kbs) | 13:48 |
| osman123 | Change it? | 13:48 |
| danja | ifireball, 0 packet loss | 13:49 |
| Pici | osman123: Change it to something else then, perhaps some other close country's server. | 13:49 |
| ifireball | danja: the times arn't that important right now | 13:49 |
| ifireball | danja: ok, now ping with "-s 1500" | 13:49 |
| Pici | !wifi | ^sa^ | 13:49 |
| ubotu | ^sa^: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 13:49 |
| osman123 | pici: ı select other and click best server waiting now | 13:49 |
| ^sa^ | the problem is pici that on live cd works without doing anything | 13:49 |
| ^sa^ | and i already tried any solution.... | 13:50 |
| ^sa^ | installing winxp driver, | 13:50 |
| danja | ifireball "ping -s 1500 208.69.32.139" | 13:50 |
| danja | not responding! | 13:50 |
| danja | 55 transmitted, 100% loss | 13:50 |
| ifireball | danja: I'm right ^^;; | 13:50 |
| Dr_willis | ^sa^, you did compare what modules the live cd is loading with what modules the Installed version is using? | 13:51 |
| bascule | ifireball: top marks :) | 13:51 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49159/ | 13:51 |
| ifireball | danja: now try with, say, 1400 | 13:51 |
| danja | ifireball, yup, that respond | 13:51 |
| ^sa^ | yes somebody suggested it in ubuntu-it | 13:51 |
| GSF1200S_ | I hardly use compiz, but this is getting aggravating.. hehe | 13:51 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: nevermind the rt-kernel | 13:51 |
| Killerpope | the funny thing is that x86 live cd works perfectly, but on amd64 i get a blank screen | 13:51 |
| Nocturn | Hi guys | 13:51 |
| danja | 0% loss so far | 13:51 |
| ^sa^ | if you want dr_willis i can paste | 13:51 |
| ifireball | danja: ok, you need to play with the numbers until you find the point between 1400 and 1500 where it stops working | 13:52 |
| ikonia | Paavi2_0: what the heck is going on in there | 13:52 |
| Nocturn | Anyone know how to close a DVD session that was not closed properly? | 13:52 |
| ikonia | Paavi2_0: you have like 20 kernels ! | 13:52 |
| Nocturn | it happened with a crashed DVD recorder (a box, not a PC) | 13:52 |
| danja | ok (nice problem recognition!) | 13:52 |
| ifireball | danja: do you know the "lion in the desert"? | 13:52 |
| ^sa^ | Dr_Willis do you want to read the differences? | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis | ^sa^, just use diff on the output of the live cd's file and the installed cd's file and compare the modules loaded. Load any that are not in the list of both setuos. Is all ic an tell ya. I dont use wireless any more. good luck. | 13:52 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: my parents computer, i do only the most necessary maintenance :) | 13:52 |
| ikonia | Paavi2_0: why is there 3 distros and about 20 kernels on it ? | 13:53 |
| ip00n | if i install 7.04 desktop now, is it easy to upgrade to 7.10? | 13:53 |
| ip00n | and what is the difference? | 13:53 |
| bryan_w[wkr] | Why not just install 7.10? | 13:53 |
| Dr_willis | ip00n, install 7.10 if you can. | 13:53 |
| ^sa^ | so you mean i gotta install all the packs not installed and that runs on the live cd? | 13:53 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: i'm lazy, ain't i? | 13:53 |
| ip00n | but then i have to download 7.10 :( | 13:53 |
| ifireball | danja: (while you play with the numbers I'll find where to you configure the MTU value exactly...) | 13:53 |
| ikonia | Paavi2_0: thats very scrappy | 13:53 |
| ikonia | ip00n: you'll have to download it if you upgrade | 13:53 |
| ikonia | Paavi2_0: which kernel is failing to boot | 13:53 |
| ip00n | oh, right. :p | 13:53 |
| RantingHuman | is there some program that adds a number to the file names in a directory depending on their modification date? | 13:53 |
| Dr_willis | ^sa^, the Modules, are in the kernel. there souldent be any extra installing, just 'sudo modprobe whatevermoduleisnotgettingloaded' | 13:54 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: the both 2.6.22-14s | 13:54 |
| danja | ifireball, thanks - 1464 ok, 1465 0% | 13:54 |
| ^sa^ | i dont know how to do... | 13:54 |
| ^sa^ | -_- | 13:54 |
| ikonia | Paavi2_0: can you try booting one of them in single user mode | 13:54 |
| ^sa^ | cant i use synaptic? | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | ^sa^, lsmod on the live cd, lsmod on the isntalled cd. save output from both commands to 2 files, compare the 2 files. | 13:54 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: 2.6.20 works fine... | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | ^sa^, loading Modules has Nothing todo with the package manager. | 13:54 |
| GSF1200S_ | can someone tell me what may compiz to do this, but only sometimes... | 13:54 |
| GSF1200S_ | http://img337.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapshot19eg7.jpg | 13:55 |
| ikonia | Paavi2_0: can you boot one of the 22's in single user mode | 13:55 |
| kakoonia | ive got a sound problem, i think its because i installed a kernel update, suddenly my sound card device name, disappeared from the sound propeties menu.. now i cant hear nothing, i was wondering if someone can help me out with updating the module back again.. with modprobe.. if thats the solution needed in this situation? | 13:55 |
| ip00n | omg, its gonna take 40 minutes to dl 7.10 :( what on earth will i do meanwhile? | 13:55 |
| ^sa^ | so i do it on hd and then when i run the live cd | 13:55 |
| Dr_willis | ^sa^, for example 'sudo modprobe emu10k1_gp' loads my soundcard module. | 13:55 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: i'll try now | 13:55 |
| ^sa^ | i see | 13:55 |
| ^sa^ | well i can try... | 13:55 |
| Dr_willis | ^sa^, boot live cd. 'sudo lsmod > /media/WHEVER/livecd.module.list' | 13:55 |
| Dr_willis | ^sa^, boot installed Disrto 'sudo lsmod > /media/WHEVER/installed.module.list' | 13:56 |
| cabrioleur | kakoonia, what's you sound card? | 13:56 |
| ifireball | danja: go into /etc/network/interfaces | 13:56 |
| Sgt | hello everyone | 13:56 |
| Dr_willis | ^sa^, then compare the 2 files. | 13:56 |
| troythetechguy | My current kernel is (Linux debian 2.6.18-5-486 ). When I run apt-get update/upgrade, I'm told the following package will be upgraded, " linux-image-2.6.18-5-486" Is this not already installed? | 13:56 |
| ^sa^ | how? | 13:56 |
| ikonia | troythetechguy: this is ubuntu support, not debian | 13:56 |
| danja | iifireball, ok I'm in interfaces | 13:57 |
| ifireball | danja: add "mtu 1464" line to the lines configuring your interface (assuming you're not using DHCP) | 13:57 |
| Sgt | Is anyone familiar with the error message: "Unable to allocate resources in region 7" during boot? | 13:57 |
| marex_v2 | is it possible that formating a drive from ntfs to ext3 could make you loose 30GB of free space? I mean a friend of mine formated his drive from ntfs to ext3. he claims that the real size of the drive would be 464Gbyte ("500GB") but with ext3 its only 434GB. ntfs gives him the full space. | 13:57 |
| ^sa^ | and i have to do it once? once i install the right thing i dont have to do it anymore, right? | 13:57 |
| a514 | Hi the window border disappears when i use compiz, how do i fix it. | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | marex_v2, 5% is 'reserved' by default. that can be changed with the | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | marex_v2, tune2fs command. | 13:57 |
| bascule | marex_v2: it reserve 5% look at tune2fs | 13:57 |
| bascule | Dr_willis: heh :) | 13:58 |
| danja | ifireball, ok - reboot? | 13:58 |
| Dr_willis | marex_v2, thers also rounding issues - with HOW you look at the sizes of the disks. | 13:58 |
| ifireball | danja: nope | 13:58 |
| danja | er, networking restart? | 13:58 |
| ifireball | danja: yep | 13:58 |
| marex_v2 | Dr_willis, ah thanks that reserving issue might be the problem :) | 13:58 |
| ifireball | danja: then confirm it was set properly with "ifconfig" | 13:58 |
| Sgt | Is anyone familiar with the error message: "Unable to allocate resources in region 7" during boot? | 13:59 |
| marex_v2 | what are that 5% for anyway? | 13:59 |
| a514 | Hi When i enable Compiz the window border does not show | 13:59 |
| bascule | Sgt: see it all the time, apic issue AFAIK, not a problem | 13:59 |
| Dr_willis | marex_v2, space for the fsck to recover lost/found files mainly I think | 13:59 |
| cabrioleur | a514, install emerald or use metacity window manager | 13:59 |
| a514 | thanks cab i read about that | 14:00 |
| Sgt | thanks bascule, but it takes about 2-3 minutes for my system to boot up.....which doesn't seem normal at all | 14:00 |
| bascule | Dr_willis: also for forced boots with 0 space on the drive which linux hates | 14:00 |
| marex_v2 | Dr_willis, ok thanks for your help :) | 14:00 |
| Dr_willis | bascule, try it with windows see what happens. :) | 14:01 |
| bascule | Sgt: is it right at the start prior to boot splash? | 14:01 |
| * Dr_willis waits patiently for 1 TB hds to get under $100 | 14:01 | |
| Sgt | Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by boot splash? | 14:01 |
| bascule | Dr_willis: never seen it on either actually, but linux needs to log or it won't start | 14:01 |
| a514 | I think this irc channel should be on by default in pidgin | 14:01 |
| bascule | Sgt: the ubuntu logo with the bar moving | 14:01 |
| brobostigon | a514: thats a good idea. | 14:02 |
| Sgt | I don't see that at all... | 14:02 |
| bascule | Sgt: then something is wrong | 14:02 |
| a514 | Hey cab what is the default window manager for 7.10 | 14:02 |
| * danja has to do a little fiddling - was on the /other/ interface... | 14:02 | |
| Sgt | After that message, the screen is blank (where the delay takes place), then finally I'm promted with the logon | 14:02 |
| brobostigon | a514, if its ubuntu then gnome | 14:02 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: both kernels' recovery modes just gave same device lookup error messages | 14:02 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: 2.6.22-14-generic & 2.6.22-14-rt | 14:03 |
| ikonia | Petrov_: add "single" to the end of the kernel boot line (not recovery mode) and boot it, please also get the exact error | 14:03 |
| bascule | Sgt: try removing the splash screen from boot, in grub | 14:04 |
| todobg | when we get vlc 0.8.6d in ubuntu ??? | 14:04 |
| * bascule doesn't know how to do this from the esc option at start up | 14:04 | |
| kakoonia | cabrioleur: my sound card is AC97 high definition or something like that | 14:04 |
| paulo-falcao | can anyone help me with amarok in ubuntu 7.10? | 14:04 |
| flokuehn | paulo-falcao: what the matter ? | 14:04 |
| paulo-falcao | no sound | 14:04 |
| paulo-falcao | since update | 14:04 |
| flokuehn | paulo-falcao: ? ok that stuff matters | 14:05 |
| flokuehn | paulo-falcao: you use alsamixer? | 14:05 |
| paulo-falcao | ?? | 14:05 |
| paulo-falcao | i m a newbie in linux | 14:05 |
| Sgt | Bascule: Do this in the boot menu? Or is there a way to access this in Gnome? | 14:05 |
| flokuehn | paulo-falcao: ok. no problem. open an terminal and type in alsamixer | 14:05 |
| flokuehn | paulo-falcao: open an console | 14:05 |
| paulo-falcao | ok | 14:06 |
| paulo-falcao | a window with bars | 14:06 |
| bascule | Sgt: not from gnome, using grub, either menu.lst or on the escape menu at startup | 14:06 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: line beginning with "kernel"..? | 14:06 |
| ikonia | yes | 14:06 |
| Sgt | OK, thanks bascule. Hopefully, I won't be back :) | 14:06 |
| flokuehn | paulo-falcao: whatever you mean by bars. its an black window with an prompt an you can type something. | 14:07 |
| paulo-falcao | no after typing alsamixer appears a window with bars :) | 14:07 |
| todobg | amarok>settings>engine> ...put alsa | 14:07 |
| flokuehn | paulo-falcao: ah yes. thats it | 14:08 |
| flokuehn | paulo-falcao: you can also try what todobg tells you | 14:08 |
| intelikey | is there any good use for a fritz chip? or is (evil)DRM all they are good for ? | 14:08 |
| TwigEther | Hi all - I'm trying to download the source to mpd using "apt-get source mpd", am getting (13 Permission denied) error... any clues? | 14:08 |
| Paavi2_0 | ikonia: that only differs from recovery mode by quiet and splash :o | 14:08 |
| paulo-falcao | ?? | 14:09 |
| Paavi2_0 | then | 14:09 |
| flokuehn | paulo-falcao: what kind of soundcard do you use. onboard card or extra card ? | 14:09 |
| ikonia | thats finbe | 14:09 |
| paulo-falcao | onboard | 14:09 |
| Paavi2_0 | TwigEther: add "sudo" in front of that | 14:09 |
| paulo-falcao | acer Aspire 5610 | 14:09 |
| TwigEther | Paavi2_0: yeah, I was already doing that :) | 14:09 |
| flokuehn | ok. this is the whole machine eh? | 14:09 |
| ifireball | intelikey: they can be used for secure computing, but I havn't heard of such implementation yet.. | 14:09 |
| a514 | Hi i want to install KDE debs from the Kubuntu 7.10 cdrom to the synaptic repository. Will it work? | 14:09 |
| danja | ifireball, ok I made the mtu change, I *think* it's reduced the amount of the page I'm getting through - hard to tell, it was a planet blog and someone else has posted :-( I tried reducing the value a bit more and the got dns errors | 14:10 |
| TwigEther | Paavi2_0: hm, looks like the mirror I'm using doesn't actually have that package | 14:10 |
| KinPumpkinKing | I've installed kubuntu-desktop and didn't like it. So I formatted my PC. When I installed Ubuntu again these errors kept happening: systemlocks, session closing and programs closing out of the blue. help, please? | 14:10 |
| chazco | Hi... since the flash plugin is broken how can I install it manually? | 14:10 |
| paulo-falcao | have to go now | 14:10 |
| Paavi2_0 | TwigEther: why are you trying to get the source anyway, why don't you just install the binaries? | 14:10 |
| paulo-falcao | will be back at night | 14:10 |
| TwigEther | Paavi2_0: I need to rebuild the mpd package to add libsamplerate support | 14:11 |
| intelikey | ifireball hmmm, ok. seems this box has hardware i don't want/like/need and lacks hardware i feel that it should have like a thermal sensor for the cpu | 14:11 |
| === tuna-fish is now known as tuna | ||
| cabrioleur | chazco, download it from adobe website | 14:11 |
| TwigEther | http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/universe/source/ <-- source packages ought to be here, no? | 14:11 |
| Paavi2_0 | TwigEther: ok. sorry, you just have to google for sources, there might not be any sources for that in ubuntu repos | 14:12 |
| TwigEther | ah | 14:12 |
| TwigEther | That's a bit of a pain :) | 14:12 |
| TwigEther | Oh well. Cheers :) | 14:12 |
| ifireball | danja: now that is weird... souldn't give you DNS trouble in any case... are you seeing the right value in ifconfig? | 14:12 |
| Paavi2_0 | i'll get out -> | 14:13 |
| todobg | where can i found howto create shotdown button in desktop ? | 14:13 |
| ifireball | danja: can you try the wget test again? | 14:13 |
| Lacrymology | ok, I'm tired of this. I upgraded to gutsy, and my sound won't work. I want back until the new kernels are released, how do I do this? | 14:13 |
| SoLe | hi there | 14:13 |
| Lacrymology | or at the very least, how do I get a 2.6.20 kernel? | 14:14 |
| Dr_willis | Lacrymology, you sure its a kernel issue and not an alsa issue? | 14:14 |
| KinPumpkinKing | I've installed kubuntu-desktop and didn't like it. So I formatted my PC. When I installed Ubuntu again these errors kept happening: systemlocks, session closing and programs closing out of the blue. help, please? | 14:14 |
| cabrioleur | Lacrymology, you can just download kernel for 7.04 and install it manually with dpkg. | 14:15 |
| Dr_willis | You could try instaling the latest alsa from source, may be a bug. Well off to work.. byess. | 14:15 |
| cabrioleur | Lacrymology, or you can figure out the problem with the card :-) | 14:15 |
| Lacrymology | cabrioleur: it's a known issue | 14:15 |
| besquare | hi'ya mates | 14:15 |
| danja | ifireball, gotta go eat, but thanks a million - the issue is a "Black Hole router", right? I should be ok from here | 14:15 |
| ifireball | Lacrymology: maybe the 2.20 kernel is still installed? do you have it in /boot ? | 14:15 |
| Lacrymology | apparently it gets fixed installing alsa 1.0.15, but alsa-project's ftp and my ISP are not getting along | 14:15 |
| cabrioleur | Lacrymology, yeah, I had a couple of them. And there _is_ a solution for everything. | 14:16 |
| Lacrymology | ifireball: no, it's not | 14:16 |
| moldy | hi | 14:16 |
| Lacrymology | anyways | 14:16 |
| ifireball | danja: probably, I'm quite convinced it have to do with mtu though | 14:16 |
| danja | boo, wget still running out at below 5k | 14:17 |
| Lacrymology | apparently INTEL chipset support is not enabled for the newest kernel, and I'm tired of looking. I'm quite positive it's a kernel issue | 14:17 |
| cabrioleur | Lacrymology, make menuconfig? :-D | 14:17 |
| cabrioleur | Lacrymology, I know your problem | 14:17 |
| besquare | lspci | 14:18 |
| besquare | modprobe | 14:18 |
| besquare | ! | 14:18 |
| Lacrymology | besquare: that for me? | 14:18 |

| KinPumpkinKing | silverhawk_184, if you want to install your video driver, you can just run Envy | 14:24 |
| asterisk2216 | ....or if it possible to go around it and download the correct flashplugin some other way? | 14:25 |
| Lacrymology | no | 14:25 |
| Lacrymology | envy is evil! | 14:25 |
| Pici | !envy | KinPumpkinKing silverhawk_184 | 14:25 |

| EtteSB | im looking to see if i have a package. skype says it needs Qt 4.2.1 altho it doesn't give me a package name. i've looked in synaptic but theres loads of QT's so i dunno which one i need | 15:09 |
| poningru_ | and a ifconfig | 15:09 |
| bazhang | pete2: is that HP? | 15:09 |
| poningru_ | what do you see? | 15:09 |
| pete2 | yes bazhang | 15:09 |
| Pici | Ljorring: I just don't see why it would be doing this, My ATI card just needs fglrx and xgl-server. | 15:10 |
| ^sa^ | lo no wireless extensions. | 15:10 |
| Stevop | can anyone help find out why i cant install apache on 7.10? | 15:10 |
| ^sa^ | eth0 no wireless extensions. | 15:10 |
| crush_groove | pici we need a list of "Ontopic" topics .because ubuntu is linux and I asked a linux question | 15:10 |
| crush_groove | linux derivitive anyway | 15:10 |
| poningru_ | ^sa^, if its more than 1 line always pastebin | 15:10 |
| bazhang | crush_groove: getting an ubuntu installation to work is the main on-topic topic iirc | 15:10 |
| Pici | crush_groove: /join #ubuntu-offtopic and we'll talk about it | 15:10 |
| mitchp | Pici; my ATI card won't work no matter what I do. What card does he have (i forgot his name)? | 15:11 |
| Stevop | hello can anyone help me? | 15:11 |
| crush_groove | aha /. ty bazhang .. | 15:11 |
| ^sa^ | ok sorry | 15:11 |
| Pici | mitchp: radeon 9600 iirc | 15:11 |
| Torrent | I installed uwsusp, but when I type sudo s2disk, it says could not stat the resume device file. reason: no such file or directory | 15:11 |
| ^sa^ | anyway now it does not recognise the wifi | 15:11 |
| crush_groove | ok pici /.. | 15:11 |
| mitchp | Pici; my roommate got that one to barely work. Still didn't like compiz. | 15:11 |
| Ljorring | Pici: I dont get it either.. | 15:12 |
| pete2 | bazhang: yes, HP M1005 MFP | 15:12 |
| poningru_ | ^sa^, thats it? | 15:12 |
| poningru_ | nothing else in iwconfig? | 15:12 |
| ^sa^ | when i use livecd it gives an error about iwlwifi_rc80211_simple | 15:12 |
| Stevop | hello? | 15:12 |
| poningru_ | ^sa^, I think the best thing you can do now is ndiswrapper | 15:12 |
| poningru_ | I think I can fix it the right way... | 15:13 |
| ^sa^ | already done | 15:13 |
| ^sa^ | and doesnt work | 15:13 |
| poningru_ | oh? | 15:13 |
| poningru_ | just use the latest one | 15:13 |
| Ljorring | Pici: my history is: first I got it working through flgrx + xgl... it took a whole weekend and irc+google. then I screwed it up again... a guy in #compiz made it work again with the open source drivers+direct rendering.. the effects were good, but not as fast as with flgrx | 15:13 |
| mitchp | Ljorring; in all honesty, I would get an nVidia card. As much as it pains me, i think that's what i'm going to do | 15:13 |
| ^sa^ | done | 15:13 |
| poningru_ | !ndis | 15:13 |
| Torrent | ^sa^: Try compiling ndiswrapper from source. | 15:13 |

| ^sa^ | i've done anything i can... | 15:13 |
| SpookyET | HI all | 15:13 |
| poningru_ | ^sa^, you compiled from source? | 15:13 |
| ^sa^ | i expect i gotta delete ubuntu and go back to windows | 15:13 |
| Pici | Ljorring: Wait, so you had the open source driver installed? /methinks its not fully removed. | 15:13 |
| SpookyET | I have found Beagle 0.3.1 deb packages at http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/beagle/ | 15:13 |
| drgeb | when i try to log in I am immediately kicked out. Now I did a grep WW on Xorg.log and grep EE and there are know errors. So where can the problem lie ? | 15:13 |
| poningru_ | ^sa^, ok | 15:13 |
| ^sa^ | i'm not able to | 15:13 |
| Ljorring | mitchp: hehe, yes... I dream of nvidia all night & day.. if only I was not a poor studendt xD | 15:14 |
| bazhang | pete2: I would like to see if that can made to work as I would like to buy one as well | 15:14 |
| ^sa^ | and by the way on the live cd it works. and that's strange | 15:14 |
| Ljorring | Pici: yes, I got it up running w the open source stuff | 15:14 |
| ^sa^ | i dont install any driver on live cd | 15:14 |
| ^sa^ | and goes fine | 15:14 |
| pete2 | bazhang: yes i am there on sane-backends , http://www.nabble.com/sane-driver-for-hp-laserjet-m1005-mfp-to12469670.html , but i am too new to linux to be able to compile | 15:14 |
| mitchp | Ljorring; yea, same situation as me. Hoping for xmas money :-P | 15:14 |
| Ljorring | mitchp: xD | 15:14 |
| pete2 | bazhang: can u help me try to set it up ? | 15:15 |
| Paavi2_0 | ^sa^: your cd might be damaged | 15:15 |
| Ljorring | Pici: can you help me investigate for old ati drivers? | 15:15 |
| ^sa^ | you think so? | 15:15 |
| ^sa^ | it gives this error | 15:15 |
| ^sa^ | !paste | 15:15 |

| gorilla3d | I had my webcam working ~_~ but I unplugged it and its in another usb port and now its not working. the apps that use it look for /dev/vide0 but that doesn't exist... | 15:17 |
| minus_ | How do I change the mode of my WLAN card? Its running 802.11a but I want 802.11b org g | 15:17 |
| drgeb | bulmer just tried it and for one user I can | 15:17 |
| pete2 | bazhang: that is only for printer, which works really good atm | 15:17 |
| KiD_ChAoS | has anyone used kooka for OCR? | 15:17 |
| Paavi2_0 | ^sa^: there might be an error in that script that's supposed to install your wifi drivers | 15:18 |
| gorilla3d | How do I make my webcam go back to being /dev/video0 ? the light is on so I know linux detects it | 15:18 |
| pete2 | bazhang: i dont think that has to do anything with xsane for scanner | 15:18 |
| ^sa^ | how can i do then? | 15:18 |
| KiD_ChAoS | the kooka's settings it mentions ocrad binary not found | 15:18 |
| cabrioleur | KiD_ChAoS: yes | 15:18 |
| poningru_ | minus_, it should automatically switch based on the ap | 15:18 |
| KiD_ChAoS | cabrioleur, did you have to manually install the ocrad binary | 15:18 |
| rinaldi_ | im having problems installing flashplayer-nonfree, is the installation still broken? | 15:18 |
| drgeb | bulmer: found something interesting in my .xsession.errors "gnome-session: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0." how can I fix this ? | 15:18 |
| bazhang | pete2: ah, my mistake--in my zeal I misread | 15:18 |
| poningru_ | rinaldi_, yes | 15:18 |
| minus_ | poningru_, ok... | 15:18 |
| cabrioleur | do you have ocrad installed? | 15:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rinaldi_: yes | 15:18 |
| ^sa^ | paavi2_0 how can i do? | 15:19 |
| pete2 | bazhang: this is the solution i think : http://www.nabble.com/sane-driver-for-hp-laserjet-m1005-mfp-to12469670.html | 15:19 |
| minus_ | poningru_, but it cant connect. I cant get an IP | 15:19 |
| KiD_ChAoS | im not sure cabrioleur | 15:19 |
| KiD_ChAoS | cabrioleur, i thought it might have came with kooka | 15:19 |
| poningru_ | minus_, do an iwconfig | 15:19 |
| Paavi2_0 | ^sa^: i'm sorry, i have no idea what you could do :( | 15:19 |
| minus_ | poningru_, done | 15:19 |
| pete2 | bazhang: but i dont know how to compile all of that | 15:19 |
| ^sa^ | nobody does... | 15:20 |
| ^sa^ | i think i'll go back to windos :( | 15:20 |
| ^sa^ | at least i can surf wherever i want | 15:20 |
| cabrioleur | KiD_ChAoS: it should be as dependency. Try "whereis ocrad" in terminal and see if you have it. If not, "sudo install ocrad" | 15:20 |
| cabrioleur | "sudo apt-get install ocrad" | 15:20 |
| KiD_ChAoS | ok cabrioleur | 15:20 |
| cabrioleur | ^sa^: a good idea :-) | 15:20 |
| Paavi2_0 | ^sa^: if you find a way, you should try to disable iwlwifi_rc80211_simple | 15:21 |
| ^sa^ | i dont know how. i'm a newbie | 15:21 |
| chinmay | .net | 15:21 |
| judgement | anyone in here have worked on a discover station pc? can it be used on a regular pc? | 15:21 |
| KiD_ChAoS | cabrioleur, when i type 'whereis ocrad' it spits out 'ocrad:' and then thats it | 15:21 |
| ^sa^ | go to win anyway. bye and tnx a lot for your help. i'll try next version | 15:21 |
| ^sa^ | bye | 15:21 |
| dooglus | how can I view webcams in ubuntu? | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !enter > ^sa^ | 15:22 |
| dooglus | I had a message from a hot chick saying "watch me naked on my live web cam at >> http://www.bayanbul.net/webcam.exe" but when I try to view it, firefox just asks me if I want to "save or open" | 15:22 |
| Lycalopex | dooglus: several options vlc is handy for testing at least since its pretty easy to capture vid using it | 15:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dooglus: that is a windows exe file.. they are trying to send you a virus | 15:22 |
| Paavi2_0 | dooglus: "lol" | 15:22 |
| cabrioleur | KiD_ChAoS: type "sudo apt-get install ocrad" | 15:23 |
| Lycalopex | ie4linux| dooglus | 15:23 |
| judgement | dooglus: try to view it w/kino and video4linux | 15:23 |
| dooglus | Jack_Sparrow: no, she said she wants to see my lovely big <censored> | 15:23 |
| Torrent | When i install uswsusp, it doesnt find my swap.. what do I do? | 15:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dooglus: enough | 15:23 |
| bulmer | drgeb-> if you can log on as one user and not as another user, check the /etc/passwd file and see what is the user's log on shell | 15:23 |
| judgement | there are also webcams in the add/remove | 15:23 |
| bulmer | drgeb-> also check the users home directory if you have set itup properly | 15:24 |
| Torrent | whats the name of the swap drive | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lycalopex: ie4linux is a fast way to lose all support from people at #Wine... they feel it is in the same catagory as automatix and wont touch it | 15:25 |
| wols_ | Torrent: sudo fdisk -l | 15:25 |
| wols_ | Jack_Sparrow: what do they want one to use for IE then? | 15:25 |
| drgeb | what do I need to look for in user home directory ? | 15:25 |
| KiD_ChAoS | cabrioleur, i installed it, but when i restarted kooka it still says binary not found | 15:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wols_: they have some other options, but even their topic says they wont help you if you have used it | 15:26 |
| cabrioleur | KiD_ChAoS: go to setup and type a proper path to the file. | 15:26 |
| KiD_ChAoS | cabrioleur, do you know where the path is? | 15:26 |
| cabrioleur | KiD_ChAoS: the proper path will be displayed when you type "whereis ocrad" | 15:27 |
| dooglus | if I use wine to run a .exe file, and the file turns out to be a virus, can it cause much damage? | 15:27 |
| KiD_ChAoS | cabrioleur, ok | 15:27 |
| cabrioleur | KiD_ChAoS: probably /usr/bin/ocrad | 15:27 |
| Paavi2_0 | dooglus: no | 15:27 |
| wols_ | dooglus: it sometimes can infect your wine | 15:27 |
| Juhaz | dooglus, yes. | 15:27 |
| judgement | dooglus: just wine itself | 15:27 |
| dooglus | hahah. I got three answers - yes, no, and maybe. nice! | 15:27 |
| Orfintain | hi, i'm stuck in 640X480 | 15:27 |
| dundel | . | 15:28 |
| Paavi2_0 | dooglus: i meant not much but some | 15:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dooglus: Not to your ubuntu install but if you have mapped Z drive to your root folder, there are some potential problems | 15:28 |
| Orfintain | on an laptop | 15:28 |
| bazhang | pete2: well, from searching it seems that no one has full capabilitiies on that model; not Vista, Not Leopard and not yet Ubuntu--HP has quite good support for Linux generally, so likely will release something in the next few weeks | 15:28 |
| Dr_willis | dooglus, in theory a windows executable could remove all your users files.. but that wouldent hurt the system. :) just your home dir. | 15:28 |
| KiD_ChAoS | ok cabrioleur , it worked but i didn't understand a single word.. do i have to tell it what font im using? or should i scan the page into a paticular format? | 15:28 |
| lesshaste_ | how do I find which ubuntu package has psfig.sty? | 15:29 |
| wols_ | !firxres | Orfintain | 15:29 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about firxres - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:29 |
| shadowhywind | does anyone know of a way to Nuke/wipe a usb harddrive? | 15:29 |
| Dr_willis | dooglus, ive used wine to run spyware and other malware to see what it does. | 15:29 |
| Dr_willis | shadowhywind, formating it is not good enough? | 15:29 |
| wols_ | lesshaste_: by using packages.ubuntu.com | 15:29 |
| Juhaz | who cares about the bloody system? that's half an hour reinstall, all your important data is in your home dir | 15:29 |
| gorilla3d | how do yo load a module into the kernel? modprobe? | 15:29 |
| LjL | gorilla3d: yes | 15:29 |
| wols_ | shadowhywind: dd if=/dev/urandomg of=/dev/<device node of usb stick> | 15:29 |
| LjL | with sudo | 15:29 |
| lesshaste_ | wols_, umm..nothing! | 15:30 |
| cabrioleur | KiD_ChAoS: experiment with the options to get the best results. The rest is a personal preference. | 15:30 |
| dooglus | Dr_willis: except I have sudo access, so I guess it could do whatever it wanted to really. | 15:30 |
| KiD_ChAoS | cabrioleur, ok thankyou | 15:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Juhaz: Wine suggests you create a different user with access only to wine | 15:30 |
| Paavi2_0 | dooglus: don't mix sudo and wine, it kills | 15:30 |
| krim | Is there a way to clean out all "system files" in /home, so if I install Debian I won't have the old config files for Ubuntu left in there? | 15:30 |
| gorilla3d | LjL, um.. how would I make it fine the module I want to load, keeps saying not found | 15:30 |
| dundel | oke this is strange, i'm testing my dns server and i got a mirc connection but i can't browse the web :S | 15:30 |
| y2hh | Question, new user -- I'm using 7.10 (patched), and I'm having issues getting my external display to operate with the nVidia restricted driver enabled. The built in control panel for multiple monitors doesnt seem to work for me...anyone else with a similar issue or a known fix? | 15:30 |
| bazhang | pete2: you get that? | 15:31 |
| wols_ | gorilla3d: which module? | 15:31 |
| LjL | gorilla3d: perhaps you don't have it? :) what module is that. | 15:31 |
| gorilla3d | a module I compile | 15:31 |
| gorilla3d | for my webcam | 15:31 |
| dooglus | krim: you can remove all files that begin with a dot - that's close to what you asked for | 15:31 |
| gorilla3d | gspca.ko | 15:31 |
| Azjo | How do i change default depth in ubuntu 7.10? in console im reading a guide that tells me to search for depth but it wont find it | 15:31 |
| wols_ | gorilla3d: NAMES. and what did you do after compiling it? | 15:31 |
| gorilla3d | wols_: nothing... | 15:31 |
| cabrioleur | gorilla3d: did you do make install? | 15:31 |
| lesshaste_ | wols_, ah... my mistake..texlive-generic-extra :) | 15:31 |
| wols_ | gorilla3d: you need to install it | 15:31 |
| Dr_willis | dooglus, it would proberly ask for the sudo password. :) that would be a red flag. of course that would be an impressive virus. well acgtually it would be a 'trojan' i guess | 15:32 |
| gorilla3d | oh pff im a moron | 15:32 |
| judgement | what do i need to run multiple terminals or koisk? | 15:32 |
| wols_ | gorilla3d: it needs ot end up somewhere in /lib/modules/ | 15:32 |
| judgement | has anyone tried discoverstation? | 15:32 |
| Azjo | How do i change default depth in ubuntu 7.10? in the console. | 15:32 |
| krim | dooglus But will I be able to do that from Ubuntu itself without causing weird problems? Somehow it seems like something would go wrong if I deleted all the 'important' files in /home | 15:32 |
| pete2 | bazhang: yes, i got that | 15:32 |
| gorilla3d | wols_: rm -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca.ko | 15:33 |
| Pici | !fb | Azjo | 15:33 |
| ubotu | Azjo: Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub | 15:33 |
| wols_ | gorilla3d: why do you want to delete it? | 15:33 |
| gorilla3d | wols_: it did that..... | 15:33 |
| pete2 | bazhag ; i think this is solution , http://www.nabble.com/sane-driver-for-hp-laserjet-m1005-mfp-to12469670.html , but i dont know how to compile that :/ | 15:33 |
| wols_ | gorilla3d: what did that? | 15:33 |
| dooglus | krim: you could log in as a different user I guess, so the dot-files aren't in use as you move them around | 15:33 |
| lesshaste_ | I am really impressed by the texlive packages! | 15:33 |
| lesshaste_ | Everything is there | 15:33 |
| lesshaste_ | I love ubuntu :) | 15:33 |
| dooglus | krim: have the 2nd user su to your main account, then move them | 15:33 |

| y2hh | Question, new user -- I'm using 7.10 (patched), and I'm having issues getting my external display to operate with the nVidia restricted driver enabled. The built in control panel for multiple monitors doesnt seem to work for me...anyone else with a similar issue or a known fix?? | 15:34 |
| Torren2 | How do I activate my swap? | 15:34 |
| bazhang | pete2: it looks like a solution, but not an easy one--probably someone will cobble something together (ending in .deb hopefully) shortly | 15:34 |
| Pici | Azjo: You want to change the color depth for the desktop? or for the ttys? | 15:34 |
| wols_ | Torren2: do you have swap? | 15:34 |
| dooglus | Dr_willis: I guess I would have it create an alias for 'sudo' in the user .bashrc and wait for them to start a new shell and run sudo. that would probably be the easiest way to avoid detection | 15:34 |
| Dr_willis | Torren2, 'swapon' command - but it shoudl be getting actuvated at boot up if your fstab is right | 15:35 |
| krim | dooglus: thanks for the tip | 15:35 |
| the | have you got the playstation 3 | 15:35 |
| Torren2 | wols_: Yeah I did, but after I used s2both -resume_device /dev/sda4, my swap is ianctive | 15:35 |
| Azjo | for the desktop | 15:35 |
| Torren2 | Dr_willis: I tried that, but it says invalid argument.. I typed swapon -a | 15:35 |
| wols_ | Torren2: swapon -a. How much memory do you have and how much swap do you have? | 15:35 |
| gorilla3d | wols_: it is install there hm.. /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/gspcav1/gspca.ko & /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko | 15:35 |
| Pici | Azjo: Are you concerned that its not high enough? | 15:35 |
| Dr_willis | Torren2, your fstab entry may be invalid. | 15:35 |
| Torren2 | wols_: 2GB RAM, 4GB SWAP | 15:36 |

| krim | H4v1s_: fglrx, radeonhd isn't ready yet I think | 15:37 |
| bazhang | pete2: not quite--it's compiling stuff in quite a complicated procedure--if you keep an eye on ubuntuforums and discussion sites, someone will come up with an easier fix | 15:37 |
| Pici | Azjo: Can you link me to the place where you are reading this? | 15:37 |
| wols_ | Torren2: mkswap /dev/sda4 then try swapon -a again | 15:38 |

| vincenz | bazhang: nono | 16:24 |
| vincenz | bazhang: my curreent laptop drive has faulty sectors, so I wish to replace it. I boug a new one and an enclosure | 16:24 |
| vincenz | bazhang: I'm in ubuntu right now, I'd like to install ubuntu onto that new hd and the swap it with my current hd | 16:24 |
| badiane | you would have to first prepare the hard drive | 16:25 |
| bazhang | vincenz: okay, so you want to install to an external usb hdd attached to your laptop? | 16:25 |
| badiane | and mount it | 16:25 |
| badiane | then use debootstrap | 16:25 |
| vincenz | bazhang: yep | 16:25 |
| badiane | well if you want to go that route | 16:25 |
| bazhang | badiane: you want to help out here? | 16:26 |
| badiane | sure | 16:26 |
| bazhang | vincenz: listen to badiane :} | 16:26 |
| badiane | vincenz give me a bit more details about your setup | 16:26 |
| vincenz | badiane: currently I have a laptop with ubuntu the latest | 16:27 |
| badiane | ok | 16:27 |
| JustMe | anyone: please how do you set up a password for root | 16:27 |
| vincenz | badiane: I'm in it right now, but my hd has some faulty sectors | 16:27 |
| vincenz | so my package system is screwy | 16:27 |
| badiane | ok | 16:27 |
| vincenz | got a new 2.5 disk and an enclosure | 16:27 |
| vincenz | (which I plan to swap once I can boot from it) | 16:27 |
| AnsweR | hi | 16:28 |
| Pici | !tab | 16:28 |
| ubotu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 16:28 |
| badiane | ok | 16:28 |
| badiane | any corruption | 16:28 |
| vincenz | badiane: on the old drive, yes, some pacages are corrupt | 16:28 |
| badiane | is any of your data corrupt | 16:28 |
| vincenz | oh no | 16:29 |
| vincenz | and I have backups | 16:29 |
| badiane | ok | 16:29 |
| vincenz | it's mostly about how to transition | 16:29 |
| vincenz | without having to download live cd and burn a cd | 16:29 |
| JustMe | when I installed there were't a prompt for root to type a password, how do i get a password for root | 16:29 |
| badiane | now you can get a list of your installed packages | 16:29 |
| korny|UTF-8 | hi | 16:29 |
| brobostigon | !root | justme | 16:29 |
| ubotu | justme: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:29 |
| badiane | by doing dpkg --get-selections > selections.`date +%F` | 16:29 |
| korny|UTF-8 | i have a very stupid question: how can i umount a cd in gnome? | 16:30 |
| vincenz | badiane: oh, I can manually install extra packages after, I do not mind that, my main problem is with how to get a minimal system onto it | 16:30 |
| badiane | that's cool | 16:30 |
| Pici | korny|UTF-8: Right click icon on desktop, there should either be an unmount or eject option | 16:30 |
| badiane | the reason for the selection is that you can have your old system back from that list | 16:30 |
| vincenz | but thx for tip | 16:30 |
| dundel | help please, i configured my dns propally now but i can't browse when i'm on a diffrent subnet, i looked on the net and i found the solution but i don't know what i got to do with it it says that is need to do this allow-recursion { localnets; 192.168.0/16; }; | 16:30 |
| badiane | now | 16:30 |
| JustMe | yeah | 16:31 |
| badiane | as long as you can see the external drive | 16:31 |
| badiane | have you decided how you want to partition it | 16:31 |
| badiane | or do you want to keep the same partition | 16:31 |
| vincenz | most likely like my current one | 16:31 |
| korny|UTF-8 | Pici, Desktop ^^ Thanks ^^ tooo idiot proof ;) | 16:31 |
| JustMe | thanks | 16:31 |
| preaction | dundel, recursive lookups means that your DNS will also look up names that it is not the authority for. you want to enable them for your local networks. #bind has more information | 16:31 |
| badiane | ok there is a package called sfdisk | 16:31 |
| badiane | check to see of you have it | 16:31 |
| Pici | !enter | badiane | 16:31 |
| ubotu | badiane: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 16:31 |
| badiane | ok | 16:32 |
| vincenz | badiane: we can pm | 16:32 |
| badiane | sure. | 16:32 |
| badiane | thanks ubotu | 16:32 |
| jjjh | Q: pretty new user, my install is working but I want to know the proper way to login -- the username i created is in root, i want to remove it from root and just use root for installs and whatnot, is that what i do? | 16:32 |
| jjjh | or should i create a new user completley? | 16:32 |
| Pici | !sudo | jjjh | 16:33 |
| ubotu | jjjh: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 16:33 |
| jjjh | no but i mean with the default user i craeted on install | 16:33 |
| jjjh | is that safe to use? | 16:33 |
| jjjh | because it shows it in the root group | 16:33 |
| MadRaven | hi all | 16:33 |
| Pici | jjjh: The admin group you mean? | 16:33 |
| MadRaven | anybody in here keen with emacs ? | 16:34 |

| jjjh | user settings | group settings (im in root group) | 16:34 |
| jjjh | yes 7.10 | 16:34 |
| dundel | hmm oke preaction i will check it out, thanks | 16:34 |
| Pici | jjjh: Are you logged in as root? | 16:34 |
| jjjh | oh i see | 16:34 |
| jjjh | no | 16:34 |
| dundel | but do you know it which file i need to put it? | 16:34 |
| jjjh | i logged in as the user i created | 16:34 |
| Pici | jjjh: oh you see what? | 16:34 |
| kane77 | is there anything like synergy, but that would allow files to be dragged between computers? | 16:35 |
| jjjh | i just wanted to make sure thats the user i should be using | 16:35 |
| vincenz | badiane: if you do not identify I will not be able to see your PM | 16:35 |
| jjjh | or should i create a new one | 16:35 |
| mitchp | kane77: what's synergy? | 16:35 |
| badiane | how do I identify? | 16:35 |
| PaulEU | helo! | 16:35 |
| Pici | jjjh: Did you add your user to root's group? | 16:35 |
| Pici | !register | badiane | 16:35 |
| ubotu | badiane: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration | 16:35 |
| jjjh | pici no | 16:35 |
| PaulEU | I have question: Actually I have 7.04 and I | 16:36 |
| korny|UTF-8 | kane77: samba? | 16:36 |
| jjjh | i just left it default, however it installed it | 16:36 |
| mitchp | korny|UTF-8: that's what i was going to suggest | 16:36 |
| PaulEU | I'd like upgrade to 7.10 | 16:36 |
| Pici | jjjh: Can you pastebin the output of `groups` on a terminal? | 16:36 |
| vincenz | badiane: so I plug it in (I have no idea why USB enclosures have two plugs on one side, I plugged them both in), but nothing is mounted | 16:36 |
| badiane | ok | 16:36 |
| kane77 | mitchp, a cool program that allows you to use multiple computers just like you had multiple screens.. | 16:36 |
| Pici | !paste | jjjh | 16:36 |
| ubotu | jjjh: 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) | 16:36 |
| MxD | hey all!! could someone help me get my integrated ethernet card working? | 16:36 |
| PaulEU | I inserted CD (shippit) and I'm running from this FAQ: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/upgrade-ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-to-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html | 16:36 |
| korny|UTF-8 | mitchp: synergry distributes your mouse an keyboard via ip | 16:36 |
| PaulEU | and Question is: why it doesn't get packages from CD? | 16:37 |
| Pici | PaulEU: An alternate CD? | 16:37 |
| mitchp | kane77: well, if you set up samba on both of them, then you could drag a file into it from one screen, and you'd have it on the other. You wouldnt' be able to, say, drag it directly from one screen to the next | 16:37 |
| mitchp | wow that sounds awesome | 16:37 |
| jjjh | nm i got it pici | 16:37 |
| jjjh | im not root | 16:37 |
| PaulEU | Pici: no, I have actually CD ubuntu desktop | 16:37 |
| Pici | jjjh: You shouldnt be. | 16:37 |
| PaulEU | Pici: its possible ? | 16:37 |
| Pici | PaulEU: The Desktop CD cannot be used for upgrades sadly. | 16:38 |
| PaulEU | Pici: why? | 16:38 |
| Pici | jjjh: You should be in the admin group, that way you can use sudo to gain root acces, but you will not always have root access. | 16:38 |
| kane77 | korny|UTF-8, yes, I have samba working, but something like that (just dragging files to other computer) would be extra cool :) | 16:38 |
| vincenz | badiane: how do I find where it is? | 16:38 |
| Delvien | When I run gnome-system-monitor i get the following error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49175/ (repeat again, hopefully someone has seen this ) | 16:38 |
| badiane | if it isn't mounted automatically it doesn't mean that it's not seen by the os. type fdisk -l and see what that shows | 16:38 |
| vincenz | aha | 16:38 |
| vincenz | sdc | 16:38 |
| mitchp | kane77: there was a program that excecuted a command when you dragged your mouse to the edge of the screen (don't remember what it was called). you could use that to send the file via samba | 16:39 |
| PaulEU | Pici: actually synaptic is downloading packages (31 from 1221 packages) Can I must stop download it? | 16:39 |
| Pici | PaulEU: Because in order to make it a LiveCD and an install CD, changes had to be made to the structure of the disk which precludes it from being used to upgrade. | 16:39 |
| badiane | cool and you shouldn't have to plug both cables, it may be a slave or uplink | 16:39 |
| hellboy195 | hi, would somebody help me to interpret a smartctl stats overview? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/16850/ | 16:39 |
| Pici | PaulEU: You dont have to stop, but if you dont have broadband, its going to take a long time. | 16:39 |
| badiane | check to see if you have sfdisk installed | 16:39 |
| vincenz | I do | 16:39 |
| Pici | PaulEU: But its not using that CD at all right now. | 16:39 |
| mitchp | kane77: it would still be a bit clunky, because you'd have to let it go at the edge, and pick it up again from your other desktop, but it would definitely be closer | 16:39 |
| PaulEU | Pici: oh, I understand.. Now It will take about 8h | 16:40 |

| badiane | ok now sfdisk -d <your original drive> > sdc.out | 16:41 |
| vincenz | badiane: I do have sfdisk installed, if you would like, I made a channel #badiane, less spammy | 16:41 |
| Javid | If I wanted to remove Ubuntu from a dualbooting system, how would I restore the bootloader? I don't have a CD drive I can stick a windows cd in and fixmbr from, is it possible to keep grub? | 16:42 |
| brobostigon | bundagan: !apt | 16:42 |
| vincenz | badiane: I do not wish for an exact copy tho, since my original disk has a windows partition :D | 16:42 |
| Delvien | lol gnash flash player locks up my computer .. :( | 16:42 |
| mitchp | bundagan: you should be upgrading regularly anyway. apt-get upgrade isn't any different from the icon that shows up in gnome. however i dont know if it does an update first or not (I would think so) | 16:42 |
| badiane | hold on before you do that I have to aks you if the drives are of the same size | 16:42 |
| badiane | do you want to keep that windows partition | 16:43 |
| PaulEU | Pici: ups.. I forgot one question: can I pause downloading packages for upgrade? | 16:43 |
| vincenz | badiane: yes, but I don't want an exact copy, where can I find that textual gui you get at install to setup the drive? | 16:43 |
| mitchp | bundagan: and i could be wrong, but i think it's always a good idea to do a quick upgrade if something's misbehaving | 16:43 |
| Tilllinux | you won't believe it! heroes of might and magic V is running with wine very nicely... the only thing that doesn't work is the rotation by mouse, but that work's with the keyboard ;) | 16:43 |
| guipenguin | Hello... has anyone else had a probem getting flash to work in firefox? I couldn't get Adobe flash to work.. so I isntalled that open source flash player through firefox..... bad idea, it's complete crap. How do I go about uninstalling it? | 16:43 |
| Pici | PaulEU: If you cancel in the middle of the download process (not the install process) it should left off from where it began. | 16:43 |
| badiane | I use cfdisk | 16:43 |
| badiane | try cfdisk | 16:44 |
| PaulEU | Pici: ok, thx | 16:44 |

| schlonzo | i just can add programms there | 16:45 |
| schlonzo | i want something to choose like "GNOME" or "failsafe mode" | 16:45 |
| micro_cz | ufff | 16:45 |
| micro_cz | sorry | 16:45 |
| Pici | skullhead: Crossover is third party, you should have support through them. | 16:46 |
| vincenz | badiane: three primaries? | 16:46 |
| brobostigon | schlonzo: system/admin/login window | 16:46 |
| zobban | hi there, i had a user named mike now when i deleted him i can not delet his files i deleted they went to .baschcr somthing now iwant to delete all his files they are till there it says i dont have the permission to do that i am admin of my pc | 16:47 |
| brobostigon | maybe? | 16:47 |
| Pici | zobban: how did you delete his user? | 16:47 |
| badiane | ok is cfdisk the kind of tool you were looking for | 16:47 |
| vincenz | badiane: it seems fine :) | 16:47 |
| zobban | system>admin>users from GUI | 16:47 |
| vincenz | badiane: three primaries is ine, right? with my swap as last | 16:47 |
| badiane | ok do you want to use lvm | 16:47 |
| schlonzo | there are the sessions i already have,but how can i add? | 16:48 |
| badiane | I like to use one primary for boot and use one large logical for lvm | 16:48 |
| vincenz | lvm? | 16:48 |
| qcode | It's 36 freezing degrees outside... | 16:48 |
| bundagan | looks like my problems are in the new c-types based pyopengl | 16:48 |
| Pici | zobban: Are you using sudo when you try to delete the directory? | 16:48 |
| qcode | freezing my balls | 16:48 |
| Pici | !offtopic | qcode | 16:48 |
| bazhang | qcode: offtopic | 16:48 |
| ubotu | qcode: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 16:48 |
| vincenz | badiane: I'm not certain what lvm is. I just want a 10GB for /, then the rest -2GB for /home and then 2GB for swap | 16:48 |
| VSpike | zobban, "sudo rm -rf /home/mike" .. be careful to get the right path as this will delete what you tell it | 16:48 |
| Tilllinux | how is the software (some kde program) called, that's able to convert mdfs/... to iso? | 16:48 |
| zobban | nope i am from GUI i open his mapp directory i click to remove them it says i dont have permissions | 16:49 |
| qcode | oooppps.. sorry | 16:49 |
| qcode | couldn't help it | 16:49 |
| badiane | that give me a lot of flexibility. LVM is logical volume management. It allows you to use only the space that you need and if you want to create a new partition it's ok and if you want to extend your partition it's ok too | 16:49 |
| Javid | If I wanted to remove Ubuntu from a dualbooting system, how would I restore the bootloader? I don't have a CD drive I can stick a windows cd in and fixmbr from, is it possible to keep grub? | 16:49 |
| vincenz | badiane: oh, no need :) | 16:49 |
| Pici | zobban: Like I said, you need to use sudo from a terminal or run `gksudo nautilus` to delete it. Your use has sudo access, not full admin access. | 16:49 |
| butcherbird | !fixmbr > Javid | 16:49 |
| AngryElf | I downloaded and installed the ATI driver from ati.com -- now i have working dual monitors, but I can't enable ant effects -- It's saying that the composite extension isn't availble -- there is Option "Composite" "0" in my xorg.conf -- should that be "1"?? | 16:50 |
| butcherbird | Javid: wait you want to restore the windows loader? | 16:50 |
| Javid | I want to make it boot after I nuke and pave my ext3 partition | 16:50 |
| MxD | Hi all. Could someone help me get X started? when it starts, the screen goes black | 16:50 |
| Javid | the means to do so are irrelevant to me | 16:50 |
| bundagan | MxD, using ATI? | 16:50 |
| badiane | it's extremelly flexible but if you don't want too it's ok, I would suggest one primary and on logical on which you will set swap and root | 16:50 |
| bazhang | Javid: best ask in ##windows | 16:50 |
| butcherbird | Javid: thats why i usually install grub to its own partition /boot you can i think fdisk /mbr or somesuch | 16:51 |
| butcherbird | Javid: the fdisk is command from windows rescue disk | 16:51 |
| vincenz | badiane: not all primaries? | 16:51 |
| Javid | I do not possess a drive in which to put a rescue disk of any kind. | 16:51 |
| MxD | bundagan: nVidia | 16:51 |
| ifireball | AngryElf: sounds right, why don't you just try it, worst case you change it back from the console... | 16:51 |
| vincenz | badiane: right now I have three primaries, 1 bootable, for /, 1 big one for /home and then 1 for swap | 16:52 |
| bonheurd | yé | 16:52 |
| zobban | well i did like this su then it went to root promt i am removin from terminal and i will see if they are still there now | 16:52 |
| badiane | no just boot as primary and then create a logical which you will subdivide into swap and root | 16:52 |
| bazhang | Javid: this is about installing windows and wiping ubuntu; not an ubuntu issue | 16:52 |
| pteague_work | how do i change the default application that a file opens in? | 16:52 |
| vincenz | badiane: when you say root, you mean /home? | 16:52 |
| ifireball | pteague_work: in Gnome? | 16:52 |
| pteague_work | &/or is it possible to do it based on a location (i.e. localhost vs elsewhere) | 16:52 |
| pteague_work | yes, in gnome | 16:52 |
| Pici | !sudo > zobban (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 16:52 |
| Javid | I figured I'd get a resounding "Not it!" if I asked for help uninstalling. | 16:52 |
| ifireball | pteague_work: right clieck a file -> properties -> open with | 16:53 |
| bazhang | this is a support channel Javid, not a chat channel | 16:53 |
| badiane | root the top of the filesystem tree. you can separate all of the subdirectories when you install and I've taken the habbit of separating my boot partition where the kernels and ramdisk reside from the rest of the system | 16:53 |
| zobban | i deleted i used rm -rf user now i go to gui i search for there files the files are still there | 16:53 |
| pteague_work | ifireball> yes, but that doesn't set the default | 16:54 |
| Javid | Fine. I need to know how to get rid of ubuntu and keep grub. If you don't know, don't answer. ^^ | 16:54 |
| Pici | zobban: Did you actually delete /home/user ? or what? | 16:54 |
| vincenz | badiane: how big is the bootable one then | 16:54 |
| neverblue | zobban, can you cd into it from command line ? | 16:54 |
| zobban | no i deletede just the user rm -rf user | 16:54 |
| MxD | bundagan, nVidia | 16:54 |
| zobban | do i need to delete allso /home | 16:54 |
| ifireball | pteague_work: you can add things to the list, and you can set the default by putting the dot next to it | 16:54 |
| MxD | bundagan, yt? | 16:55 |
| schlonzo | join #ubuntu-de | 16:55 |
| badiane | but you can do it your way also it will be simpler with grub. The boot partition could be around 100M to be safe if you are not going to be having a lot of kernels like I do | 16:55 |
| neverblue | zobban, i would strongly recommend against that | 16:55 |
| Pici | zobban: You said you want to delete that users home directory, right? | 16:55 |
| bazhang | zobban dont | 16:55 |
| vincenz | badiane: how do I split up the logical one? | 16:55 |
| zobban | yes i want to remove all their files and that user is not that enough rm -rf user | 16:55 |
| Pici | zobban: What directory are you doing that command in? | 16:56 |
| zobban | i mean sudo rm -rf user | 16:56 |
| zobban | i am doing from root> | 16:56 |
| badiane | cfdisk will ask you to chose either primary or logical | 16:56 |
| YeTr2 | zobban: don't use rm just yet | 16:56 |
| vincenz | badiane: right, but then the logical one ... is just one partition | 16:56 |
| badiane | you can make the remainder of the drive after you've created a boot partition | 16:56 |
| YeTr2 | zobban: use the find command to locate all files owned by the user in the machine | 16:56 |
| badiane | yes and then you can subdivide it by selecting it and creating another partition | 16:56 |
| opapo | I followed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox and can't get my virtual box to network boot | 16:56 |
| Pici | YeTr2: There shouldnt be anything outside of home thats owned by that user. | 16:57 |
| neverblue | zobban, helps 'alot' if you reply to previously asked questions | 16:57 |
| YeTr2 | Pici: there are places in /var and /tmp that a user's files can end up. | 16:58 |
| zobban | well now there are some users say do that some says dont do that who to listen | 16:58 |
| Pici | YeTr2: /tmp is cleared on boot | 16:58 |
| neverblue | thats the choice you have to make zobban | 16:58 |
| vincenz | badiane: not in cdisk | 16:58 |
| zobban | listen i have a user and he has files i want to remove this user and his files forever | 16:58 |
| neverblue | zobban, can you cd into it from command line ? | 16:58 |
| YeTr2 | Pici: and the mail/cron/at stuff in /var ? | 16:58 |
| neverblue | ill repeat, as it appears necessary | 16:59 |
| vincenz | badiane: you can't split up logical partitions in cfdisk | 16:59 |
| fivre | I'm trying to run a 7.10 LiveCD on a PowerMac G4 and not getting very far, any help? | 16:59 |
| Pici | YeTr2: I doubt he has those to be honest. | 16:59 |
| badiane | yep | 16:59 |
| YeTr2 | Pici: and that would be what the find command is for. | 16:59 |
| zobban | yes i did cd and rm -rf user and now i open gui search for files the files are still there in baschs something | 16:59 |

| badiane | that's why they exist. it to get around the limitations of only four primary partitions. If you wanted to separate your logs, www, lib under var and still have home, user, opt as separate partitions you wold run out of primary partitions quickly | 17:00 |
| neverblue | zobban: 'cd /home/user' then type 'ls' :: do you see anything in that users directory ? (this has nothing to do with a GUI ) | 17:00 |
| fivre | brobostigon: I get a screen that says "Loading, PLease Wait" and then a black screen with a cursor | 17:00 |
| Pici | YeTr2: I understand, I didn't think of the cron stuff (/me makes mental note) | 17:00 |

| fivre | bleh | 17:00 |
| fivre | brobostigon: nothing happens from there | 17:00 |
| Pici | YeTr2: Although I would think that the gnome remove user thing *should* do that. | 17:00 |
| brobostigon | fivre: does it say initramfs at the start | 17:01 |
| YeTr2 | Pici: I don't know, I don't use gui tools | 17:01 |

| vincenz | badiane: does that look ok? | 17:03 |
| neverblue | [locke], then maybe its the app 'conky' thats incorrect | 17:04 |

| Cyber34 | Thankee Sai | 17:10 |
| === Alcolol` is now known as Alcolol | ||
| badiane | sorry for the enter as punctuation thing. The advantage of using LVM is that if you make a mistake in the size of a partition you can add to it or create more dynamically. Let's say that for some reason you have a lot of programs and your logs or whatever it is, packages from not having updating the system in a long time start to take a lot of space the you are kind of screwed and have to do a lot of management stuff | 17:10 |
| vincenz | badiane: interesting, that's why I always keep my number of partitions reduced | 17:10 |
| |DrEaMeR| | badiane: and disadvantages ? | 17:10 |
| kunami | have a problem with amarok on ubuntu 7.10, since the upgrade i have no sound | 17:10 |

| sqlnoob | Please help I've spent all morning and no luck, i've read many forums and troubleshooters and nothing.. | 17:30 |
| sqlnoob | kaddict: im very new at linux, what other packets would I need? | 17:31 |
| onionz | i've been trying to boot from my ubuntu cd on mac os x but holding down the "c" key while powering on isn't working. anyone have any ideas? | 17:31 |
| kaddict | you need another dependancy but can't download/install it so I just guess that your synaptic can't fetch it because it does not know about it | 17:31 |
| sqlnoob | kaddict: I've downloaded everything from alsa's website, I just don't know what to do with it anymore.. nothing compiles | 17:31 |
| kaddict | my linux is french but in synaptic under configuration which should be the same for you, I can configure the sources. add some more | 17:32 |
| tim167 | I'm making a website, I use Gedit now to just edit the html code, I'm kinda limited that way (duh), can you suggest a good program for making a website? preferably easy to use, i havent got much experience in this... thanks | 17:32 |
| sqlnoob | kaddict: I added the firmware and drivers folder downloaded from alsa, i dont know what else to add | 17:32 |
| erUSUL | sqlnoob: got to System>dmin>Software Sources and check all boxes from the first tab to get all sources | 17:32 |
| kaddict | dont get alsa from the site, but with synaptic, once it will be properly configured. try a google hit for "adding synaptic sources" | 17:32 |
| velko | tim167, try something designed especially for html editing like bluefish or quanta | 17:33 |
| sqlnoob | erUSUL: even the "source code" option? | 17:33 |
| tim167 | velko, does such a program allow for example changing fonts for the whole site ? | 17:34 |
| erUSUL | sqlnoob: you may no need it but it does not harm | 17:34 |
| herbi1 | hi everyone | 17:35 |
| sqlnoob | erUSUL: ok done | 17:35 |
| sqlnoob | erUSUL: it's downloading the packets, what should be my next step? | 17:35 |
| velko | tim167, i don't quiet understand your question. what these programs do is easing the input of raw html, js, css etc. if you use (global) css definition for the site fonts, than yes | 17:36 |
| sqlnoob | kaddict: I downloaded them and added them to synaptic.. is that correct? | 17:36 |

| bascule | Lun4t1c: iptables -A INPUT -p 22 -j ACCEPT | 17:41 |
| arnath01 | bascule: velko the idea here would be to load an entire system into the memory (albeit a small one) over LAN, then possibly NFS some dirs and work like that | 17:41 |
| tim167 | velko do you know of a 'visual editing' program a la frontpage ? | 17:41 |
| bascule | Lun4t1c: assuming you use 22 | 17:41 |
| sqlnoob | bazhang: the reason I downloaded it is cause it wasn't in the synaptic packets | 17:41 |
| Lun4t1c | tnx bascule :) | 17:41 |
| bascule | arnath01: good luck with that :) | 17:41 |
| RioCunliffe | tim167: KompoZer is your best bet | 17:42 |

| tim167 | RioCunliffe ah thanks I'll have a look at that | 17:43 |
| velko | tim167, i know that mozilla has some visual editor, open office also. i don't know how they compare to frontpage, because i never used any of them. they all tend to create messy code imho | 17:43 |

| krabador | someone had build a ubuntu pendrive with gutsy succesful_ | 18:07 |
| Odd-rationale | michael_: You can use synaptic | 18:07 |
| judgement | anybody uses userful in here? | 18:08 |
| michael_ | thanks odd-rationale, i'm looking for a command-line way of doing it? | 18:08 |
| opapo | where can I find VBoxAddIF | 18:08 |
| Pici | judgement: This is a support channel... so yes. | 18:08 |
| velko | krabador, by the way - there are easier methods for creating live cd/dvd/flash disks. you type just two commands and have the live image: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/USB | 18:08 |
| Odd-rationale | michael_: Then I would use aptitude | 18:08 |
| michael_ | Odd-rationale: thanks, although i don't know the command to see if a package is installed. For instance, apt-cache showpkg shows a bunch of crap, but not if it's installed. | 18:09 |
| Odd-rationale | michael_: Try sudo aptititude | 18:09 |
| Pici | michael_: dpkg -l package or aptitude show package will both tell you if they are installed or not or even apt-cache show package | 18:09 |

| LjL | MR^ChArMeR, Linux is only the "core" (kernel) of the operating system. It doesn't handle your mouse and windows and menus. Application programs use various libraries to do that, and there are also a couple of "desktops", where all applications act together in a coherent fashion - just like the Windows or MacOS desktop. the most well known of those desktops are GNOME, KDE and Xfce | 18:17 |
| shanubuntu | LjL: hmm. The real issue is that the current kernel version (2.6.22) seems to have broken my sister's laptop's suspend/hibernate function, which is pretty important for a student laptop. Upgrading to a less stable 2.6.23 would also be conceivable, how workable is that (including a working ndiswrapper + fglrx with it)? | 18:17 |
| Leeworthy | Hey | 18:17 |
| shanubuntu | closing the lid results in nada, so the acpi must be busted in some fashion, and if I manually select 'suspend' or 'hibernate', it locks up | 18:17 |
| LjL | shanubuntu: if it's just the kernel, you don't need to downgrade at all. the old kernel should have remained installed. just go to the GRUB menu and select it, instead of selecting the latest kernel. to make the change persistent, edit the "default" line in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 18:17 |
| shanubuntu | LjL: I'll test that again, but the last time I tried the older kernel it simply didn't work. Perhaps I should attempt a reinstallation of it? | 18:18 |
| LjL | shanubuntu: however, Gutsy *always* had 2.6.22 as far as i'm aware | 18:18 |
| shanubuntu | hmm | 18:18 |

| michael_ | Hi, I just moved my 3D card (Voodoo 3dfx) and monitor from one ubuntu box to another, and on the new box, when I try to run an OpenGL application I get: "OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0'. I brought the relevant sections of my xorg.conf with me to the new box. Any ideas? | 18:18 |
| Phusion | Voodoo 3dfx! wow thats ancient | 18:19 |
| nickrud | michael_, you probably need to install libglide3 on the new box | 18:19 |
| michael_ | trakz: i would suggest what someone else suggested - using sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to try to fix yoru xorg.conf file. | 18:19 |
| Phusion | trakz: yah | 18:19 |
| trakz | Phusion: Arghh, I was hoping I wouldn't need to do that | 18:19 |
| shanubuntu | LjL: I upgraded her computer to Gutsy from Feisty to show her how cool linux + free updates are. Bad idea ;) | 18:19 |
| kevin_ | hello, i was wondering if anyone could recommend me an external dvd burner... | 18:19 |
| michael_ | nickrud: you were very helpful getting the 3dfx card up in the first place a few days ago, so i'll take your advice :) | 18:19 |
| Phusion | run dpkg-reconfigure? | 18:19 |
| shanubuntu | LjL: so 2.6.20-16 is still there | 18:20 |
| Phusion | trakz: its really easy | 18:20 |
| michael_ | nickrud: what is libglade3's purpose? | 18:20 |
| shanubuntu | in theory | 18:20 |
| LjL | Phusion, would you mind avoiding comments that are not relevant to the question being asked? this channel has a lot of traffic. | 18:20 |
| Phusion | sure thing | 18:20 |
| trakz | Ok for some reason I can get to prompt | 18:20 |
| trakz | sorry cant | 18:20 |
| nickrud | michael_, didn't realize that was you. It provides hooks for the tdfx driver into dri | 18:20 |
| trakz | get to prompt | 18:20 |
| LjL | shanubuntu: uhm, isn't that the Feisty kernel though? did you upgrade from Feisty? | 18:20 |
| shanubuntu | yes | 18:20 |
| shanubuntu | so both kernels are present, in theory | 18:20 |
| trakz | Alt F* goes to blinking cursor and nothing else | 18:20 |
| michael_ | nickrud: great. i'll try it. do i need an X restart or box restart after installation? | 18:20 |
| Phusion | trakz: what can you get to? | 18:20 |
| LjL | shanubuntu: but Gutsy (not Feisty) worked *before* the very latest upgrade? | 18:21 |
| trakz | seems to lock up when I get the GDM failed to start due to internal error message | 18:21 |

| Fud- | so are the ATI drivers screwed up or am i doing something wrong? | 18:22 |
| shanubuntu | LjL: no... 2.6.22 was the current kernel version present when I updated her computer, so she has 2.6.20-16 from when she had Feisty and 2.6.22-14, the current Gutsy kernel. Her computer worked fine when I was able to select the older kernel, but for some reason it won't boot off of it now. | 18:22 |
| nickrud | Fud-, they're screwed up, which makes it easy to do something wrong :) | 18:22 |

| Drixx | Odd-rationale: thnx dude ... | 18:24 |
| Drixx | it works | 18:24 |
| LjL | shanubuntu: you could try reinstalling version 2.6.22-14.46, which should be the original Gutsy version i think (now it's .47, updated a couple of days ago). i really don't guarantee anything though - and if it then doesn't boot, you *may* be left with no booting kernel. | 18:24 |
| sainzeo | dragonforce99: did you get my PM? | 18:24 |
| Ali_G | hello, my system doesnt ask for any updates, is this normal? | 18:25 |

| shanubuntu | LjL: sudo apt-get install linux-generic=2.6.22-16 didn't work, and I'm guessing it's because there's another level of versioning. Where do I check for the packages in a repo to get the exact versions available? | 18:26 |

| velko | Highlife, i'm not familiar with pymediaserver but it's not in the repos. i assume you have downloaded the python package and tried to run the program. maybe you should check if you have to install it before | 18:28 |
| LjL | shanubuntu: sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic=2.6.22-14.46 (and same with modules etc, do "dpkg -l | grep linux") | 18:28 |
| michael_ | nickrud: rather than showing 1FPS it's running smoothly with a momentary freeze every .5s or so. | 18:28 |

| Ali_G | i'll do that, ty | 18:29 |
| Odd-rationale | Drixx: Of course, they don;t want to call it that... | 18:29 |
| ompaul | sqlnoob, they are already installed - this is a package based distro you should never have to compile something (well mostly never) | 18:29 |
| dragonforce99 | wols: i can't, it won't let me even get past the ubuntu load screen. | 18:29 |
| michael_ | nickrud: funny, apt-check is taking 4% CPU, and i didn't explicitly run that command... and nautilus (!!) is taking 94%, and i have no nautilus windows open. | 18:29 |
| velko | Highlife, strange. do you run it from the directory you have unpacked the sources? | 18:29 |
| Drixx | Odd-rationale: yup ... | 18:29 |
| michael_ | nickrud: i can kill them, of course, but... what?? | 18:29 |
| LjL | shanubuntu: no, it will list what you have installed. but note that in linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic, the "2.6.22-14" is NOT a version (well it is, but technically it's just part of the package name), the version is 2.6.22-14.47, and before that it was 2.6.22-14.46, and this latter version should still be installable | 18:29 |

| brobostigon | giggsey: what precisly is the error message, very importent?? | 18:36 |
| cgs_bob | shanubuntu: I would hope so too...how can I tell? | 18:36 |
| shanubuntu | cgs_bob: dunno, I'm new to ubuntu. I'm trying out some theories atm :D | 18:36 |
| giggsey | brobostigon, I know why it's saying the errors. It's because I have bad sectors on the partition, and I know I do. I want to get to the data regardless | 18:37 |
| ompaul | sqlnoob, click on "file -> Change Device" - if you can't then your hardware is not talking the kind of sound system that ubuntu can talk with - which is most strange | 18:37 |
| sqlnoob | ompaul: ubuntu doesn't even recognize I have a soundcard, that's why i downloaded the alsa-firmware cause i thought that would do the trick... | 18:37 |
| michael_ | echo $? | 18:37 |
| cgs_bob | shanubuntu: I'm new to ubuntu too. I know in gentoo I would have both | 18:37 |
| michael_ | oops, guess i'm not at the prompt lol | 18:37 |
| shanubuntu | cgs_bob: yes, it's called gcc-3.4, look in synaptic and search for 'gcc' | 18:37 |
| brobostigon | giggsey: try fsck on it first, to try and get rid of the errors on the hdd. | 18:37 |
| Jadd76 | Can any one give me a hint on how to make my headphone jack work? | 18:37 |
| sqlnoob | ompaul: file->change device ... what file? | 18:37 |
| shanubuntu | cgs_bob: the 'add/remove' programs interface is handy, but synaptic has gobs more packages | 18:38 |
| michael_ | anyone know how to scroll upscreen in irssi? | 18:38 |
| wraund | Jadd76: check around in sound settings? | 18:38 |
| ompaul | sqlnoob, when you clicked on the speaker | 18:38 |
| brobostigon | giggsey if it still wont mount its then to damaged to read off. | 18:38 |
| Jadd76 | Right now, plugging in a headphone disables the speakers, but no sound comes out of the headphones | 18:38 |
| cgs_bob | shanubuntu: thanks for the tip...I'll go take a look | 18:38 |
| shanubuntu | np | 18:38 |
| velko | michael_, does "shift + pageup" does it? | 18:38 |
| michael_ | velko: fraid not | 18:38 |
| sqlnoob | ompaul: I don't see any file nor change device option | 18:39 |
| michael_ | velko: oh, hey, it's ctrl-pageup | 18:39 |
| Jadd76 | Thanks wraund, I've tried that | 18:39 |

| bigdog_ | Can update from a standard Ubuntu install, to a studio install via the studio installer? | 18:39 |

| velko | michael_, i didn't knew the answer also. shift+pageup is standard for moving up in a shell. it was a (unsuccessful) shot in the dark | 18:40 |
| wraund | Jadd76: just making sure, sometimes ninnys come in who havent checked | 18:40 |
| brandon__ | i just installed ubuntu and i think i installed over windows vista, how do i tell? :/ | 18:40 |

| brobostigon | giggsey: if it wont mount evenafter an fs check, then its to dameged to mount | 18:42 |

| sqlnoob | ompaul: for alsa, the latest too, 1.0.15 | 18:44 |
| ompaul | sqlnoob, good, that was question one then the second part 32bit or 64bit | 18:44 |
| Jadd76 | The headphone problem is the only thing that's stopping me from using Ubuntu all the time | 18:44 |
| brobostigon | giggsey: if it wont mount, however much you want to get your files, if its dameged enough, it wont mount and cant get files off it, unless you send it t pro hdd recovery. | 18:44 |
| Azjo | i just found out that it CAN ping the local server on in my network, but it wont ping google.com | 18:44 |
| sqlnoob | ompaul: uh.. i'm not sure.. where can I check that? | 18:44 |
| Jadd76 | wotamuckinfuddle: have you tried Pidgen or GAIM? | 18:44 |
| Azjo | whats the problem here? | 18:44 |
| Phusion | Azjo: you dont have DNS or a gateway specified somewhere | 18:44 |
| Phusion | Azjo: are you behind a router? | 18:45 |
| giggsey | brobostigon, I have faith, I'll get them off :) | 18:45 |
| Azjo | no router | 18:45 |
| wotamuckinfuddle | i use pidgin jadd76 | 18:45 |
| wols_ | Phusion he hasn't enabled proper networking in vpc most likely. and there is no router involved in his problem | 18:45 |
| Phusion | Azjo: how connected to the internet? | 18:45 |
| brobostigon | giggsey, if its damaged enough no mount, and cant get files off, | 18:45 |
| ompaul | sqlnoob, in a terminal (applications - accessories - terminal) type uname -r and report what you have there | 18:45 |
| Phusion | mmkay wols_ | 18:45 |

| sqlnoob | ompaul: 2.6.22-14-generic.. that's what I get | 18:46 |
| talcite | is there any way to download the package? | 18:46 |
| Highlife | velko: it runs out of usr/src/ | 18:46 |
| brobostigon | giggsey: try fsck it, to test and repair it, man fsck. | 18:46 |
| Phusion | talcite: in your /etc/apt/sources.list see if CDROM is in there | 18:46 |
| Jadd76 | wotamuckinfuddle: seemed to me like you clicked on a link in a browser | 18:46 |
| talcite | Phusion: thanks | 18:46 |
| Azjo | well, i could do a ipconfig in windows, but since im not sure what the problem is.. | 18:46 |
| giggsey | brobostigon, Okay, currently running testdisk on it, then I'll do fsck | 18:47 |
| Phusion | talcite: you can comment (#) it out if it is, then your apt should look at the repositories and not CDROM | 18:47 |
| Jadd76 | talcite: Can't you disable the CD from the repositories? | 18:47 |
| Phusion | working on it Jadd76 :) | 18:47 |
| Azjo | nvm, i found some information, working on it | 18:47 |
| sqlnoob | ompaul: to be more specific, this is how I installed it: http://apcmag.com/5046/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first | 18:47 |
| ompaul | sqlnoob, you got me beat there - that should work out of the box afik | 18:47 |
| velko | Highlife, try to launch it from the directory you installed it (python searches for modules first in the current directory). this might help | 18:47 |
| nickrud | talcite, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list , comment out the cdrom line near the top (you may need to uncomment [remove the # at the beginning of the line] for all lines starting with 'deb ']) | 18:47 |
| Jadd76 | Phusion: on my headphone problem? | 18:47 |

| Jadd76 | Oh, OK :) | 18:48 |
| talcite | perfect. Thanks Phusion, nickrud, Jadd76 | 18:49 |
| Phusion | you're welcome, it worked? | 18:49 |
| sqlnoob | ompaul: maybe I should get the alsamixer packet? | 18:49 |

| sqlnoob | ompaul: isn't that enough? | 18:50 |
| ompaul | sqlnoob, go for it - but I would not build it | 18:51 |

| suresh | hi | 19:57 |
| vishal | HI, after i hibernate or suspend, i get a grey screen, anyone know why this happens? | 19:57 |
| wy | I can't even hibernate or suspend! | 19:58 |
| mirdin | anyone with experience getting connected after ubuntu install? | 19:58 |
| rohan | suspend/hibernate is very delicate in linux | 19:58 |
| rohan | wy: what error do you get while suspending? | 19:58 |
| vishal | it works, but my screen goes grey when i bring it back up | 19:59 |
| rohan | vishal, wy : try looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SuspendHowto | 19:59 |
| KinPumpkinKing | jp30, it's the sda1 thingy on your desktop | 19:59 |
| prakriti | is there anyway to force aptitude update to hit another mirror? | 19:59 |
| Odd-rationale | Drixx: Check these packages: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49199/ | 19:59 |
| adelie | #bash is very quiet. Anyone know what do you put at the end of a script for it to start over again, as opposed to putting the whole thing in a loop, or spawning a second instance? | 19:59 |
| ifireball | mirdin: the mesage you;re seeing can be the result of one of 2 things; either the interface is already up, or you're not running the command with sudo | 19:59 |
| vishal | i have to blindly click the off button at the top and then click the switch user, thats when it starts working | 20:00 |
| prakriti | adelie : what is wrong with a loop? | 20:00 |
| rohan | vishal: which video card do you have ? | 20:00 |
| prakriti | loops are good | 20:00 |
| mirdin | it's run with sudo so it must be #1 | 20:00 |
| thehcdreamer | Hello, i have created an user from the terminal but now i would like to permit it to use the sudo command, how can i do that? | 20:00 |
| aram | hi | 20:00 |
| mirdin | if the interface is up, why can't I ping my router? | 20:00 |
| rohan | thehcdreamer: add that user to the admin group | 20:00 |
| jp30 | I am using Vmware and somehow, nothing shows up on my desktop. | 20:00 |
| aram | can any one please help me what is the diffrent between ex2 and ex3 ? | 20:00 |
| wy | rohall: When I tried to suspend, my suspend LED was blinking and monitor off, but the fan is still turning... | 20:00 |
| vishal | rohan: its a intergrated chip, (intel) | 20:00 |
| mirdin | i get: Network is unreachable | 20:00 |
| thehcdreamer | rohan: thanks | 20:00 |

| ubotu | GHOST: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 20:01 |
| lousygarua | can anyone help me install webcam on gutsy? that linux-uvc thing that is | 20:01 |
| GHOST | ok sry! | 20:01 |
| tritium | aram: please don't repeat, and please clarify what you're referring to | 20:01 |
| rohan | aram: ext3 == ext2 + journalling | 20:01 |
| aram | tritium: what shall ll i do then i am just repeating my quistion if anyone can help me | 20:02 |
| tritium | !repeat | aram | 20:02 |
| ubotu | aram: 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 | 20:02 |
| adelie | prakriti: Considering the context, it makes a bit more sense. also, it is a HUGE script, and saying "do that again" would be more practical than having to make marks at the beginning and end of script. I also heard that it was a command that existed. | 20:02 |
| rohan | wy, vishal : also look at - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnderstandingSuspend | 20:02 |
| vishal | rohan: the link doesnt help, oh and btw it only happens on a hibernate not a suspend | 20:02 |
| mirdin | ifireball: I set up a static IP which pings ok | 20:02 |
| ifireball | aram: ext3 is a logginf filesystem wheil ext2 is not | 20:02 |
| rohan | vishal: oops sorry, no idea then | 20:02 |
| tritium | aram: go with ext3. ext2 is essentially obsoleted now | 20:02 |
| mirdin | and same network setup works on my other machine | 20:02 |
| Drixx | Odd-rationale: for emerald it says emerald: | 20:02 |
| Drixx | Depends: libemeraldengine0 but it is not going to be installed | 20:02 |
| Drixx | Depends: libwnck18 (>=2.15.90) but it is not installable | 20:02 |
| rohan | ext2 is good for small fs - like /boot | 20:03 |
| ifireball | mirdin: so static IP works, just DHCP doesn't? | 20:03 |
| aram | rohan: what is jou | 20:03 |
| tritium | yes, but for someone new, I recommend all ext3 for now | 20:03 |
| adelie | also, "do again" can be the product of an argument, where as a conditional loop wouild be very sloppy | 20:03 |
| vishal | rohan: its weried because as soon as i switch user and log back on it works | 20:03 |
| aram | ifireball: what is logginf file system | 20:03 |
| verb3k | aram, don't use ext2, it's old and lacks many things, if you don't know the difference then go with ext3 | 20:03 |
| ifireball | aram: I meant logging* | 20:03 |
| prakriti | adelie : I don't think there is a goto in bash, it sounds like you want while | 20:03 |
| tritium | aram: it's more robust to power failures, etc. | 20:03 |
| Odd-rationale | Drixx: Try reloading your package lists. | 20:03 |
| rohan | aram: journal keeps track of filesystem changes and makes operations atomic - that way it's better suited to data recovery after crashes etc | 20:04 |
| Dar234532 | anyone here run a colo? | 20:04 |
| mirdin | static IP doesn't see the network either | 20:04 |
| aram | thanks a lot | 20:04 |
| tritium | Dar234532: you mean a LoCo? | 20:04 |
| Drixx | Odd-rationale: and there are some extra marked in my list | 20:04 |
| cGc2 | jp30, you figure it out? | 20:04 |
| mirdin | but DHCP doesn't even get an IP | 20:04 |
| aram | the other thing is i spend 2 hour and can not find answer for problem i have | 20:04 |
| ifireball | aram: "logging" is a technique for preserving data integrity, please refer to wikipedia for further info | 20:04 |
| Odd-rationale | Drixx: That is fine. Let it install any needed dependancies. | 20:04 |
| KinPumpkinKing | I heard there is a way to install GLSL and run in 32bit graphics mode... can anyone help me with that? | 20:05 |
| Lattyware | hmmm... When I try to run Firefox or Epiphany (Hence I am presuming it is a Gecko bug) I get a 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)' | 20:05 |
| Lattyware | Anyone know why? | 20:05 |
| mirdin | ifireball: could this be a driver thing? | 20:05 |
| adelie | prekriti: certaintly not a goto. I know it is something i read / heard about before. It keeps a single instance, and with each iteration, it basically gets a new process ID, and "resets" uptime. | 20:05 |
| ifireball | mirdin: please say my name when you talk to me, can you see the card when you type "ifconfig" ? | 20:05 |
| tritium | Lattyware: if it were a gecko bug, I think a lot more of us would also be experiencing that | 20:05 |
| mirdin | yeah ok | 20:06 |
| aram | when i try to install ubuntu on my system | 20:06 |
| mirdin | ifireball: if I type ipconfig i get lo | 20:06 |
| Lattyware | tritium: Well, it seems odd that two things crash, and they have Gecko in common. They all the software that that happens to. | 20:06 |
| aram | it give me error which it says /bin/sh:can not access tty:job central turned off | 20:06 |
| mirdin | ifireball: if I type ipconfig eth0 I see the card, with static it has an IP, with DHCP it doesn't | 20:06 |
| aram | can any one help me with that? | 20:06 |
| sbacheler | where can I configure the password for ubuntu remote access? | 20:06 |
| rohan | wc | 20:06 |
| aram | because i have tried so many times to find answer but i couldent | 20:07 |
| tritium | Lattyware: yes, it is odd, but also apparently unique to your system. Likely it is something on your end. | 20:07 |
| aram | does any one know what is that mean it give me error which it says /bin/sh:can not access tty:job central turned off | 20:07 |
| Drixx | Odd-rationale: the same problem with emerald ..... shud i reinstall the rest ?? | 20:07 |
| ifireball | mirdin: config it to static IP, the do "sudo /etc/inid.d/networking resatrt" then see what you get in ifconfig | 20:07 |
| Odd-rationale | Drixx: Try not installing emerald for now. | 20:08 |

| flibberdy | Hi all, I installed xubuntu on an Hp Compaq NC4010 laptop yesterday, everything works except the xfce battery monitor plugin | 20:10 |
| mirdin | ifireball: then with ifconfig I get the static IP I assigned | 20:10 |
| evan__ | skarface: no simple flash advertisement i've had in the past used 100% of a 2.33 Ghz C2D | 20:10 |
| flibberdy | it reads for battery information from /proc/acpi/battery/BAT01, whereas my battery information appears in /proc/acpi/battery/C13A. anyone know how to change where it gets info from | 20:10 |
| bucky1 | i just switched to an nvidia video card because of the better linux support than ATI. And now i have nothing but problems. My machine wont boot unless I take out "splash" from grub, and it also dies when I try to boot into my xen kernel.. .what is wrong?? | 20:10 |
| skarface | evan__: have you tried using the binary flash rather than gnash? | 20:10 |
| GHOST | me its about metacity... | 20:10 |
| mirdin | ifireball: yeah | 20:10 |
| mirdin | ifireball: actually with ifconfig I get 'lo' | 20:10 |
| mirdin | but not 'eth0' | 20:10 |
| evan__ | skarface: no, thanks, I will look into that. ill also disable flash ads via adblocker | 20:10 |

| adelie | or... is there an environment variable that stores ones own process ID? | 20:11 |
| mirdin | I can't paste but I can type | 20:11 |
| skarface | evan__: flashplugin-nonfree I believe | 20:11 |
| GHOST | how can i remove metacity from xubuntu? | 20:11 |
| poningru_ | lonejack, just go install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 20:11 |

| Whitor | ax1s: I like your way better... It sticks, where using krandrtray... I have to change the resolution each time... it works ... but doesn't 'stick' | 20:33 |
| ripdisk | ifireball, i've never used synaptic before.. | 20:33 |
| GHOST | ubuntu its ext3 i think | 20:34 |
| rohan | Whitor: yes, because krandrtray doesn't edit xorg.conf i think | 20:34 |
| ripdisk | ifireball: i use apt-get usually | 20:34 |
| flibberdy | zelda, what program? does it have an INSTALL file? | 20:34 |
| dgjones | !ntfs | jp30 | 20:34 |

| ripdisk | so apparently i downloaded and installed it already | 20:35 |
| jalen | anybody know of a good terminal 'edit' that I can install? | 20:35 |
| rohan | zelda`: you've done "sudo aptitude install build-essential" ? | 20:35 |
| ifireball | ripdisk: also, synaptic should be obvious enough for you, it also pops up a help screen when you run it for the 1st time... | 20:35 |
| GHOST | i have xubuntu in dualboot with desktopdsb | 20:35 |
| Flannel | jalen: nano, vim. | 20:35 |
| flibberdy | zelda, have you tried just typing "make" in the directory with all the files? is there a filed called "makefile" ? | 20:35 |
| sidewalk | but when i try to load "special settings" it says that it cant enable the new settings | 20:35 |

| ripdisk | ifireball: i don't use any of the stuff that game with this distro, i switch to kde and stuff | 20:35 |
| butcherbird | guest946: basically any 30 dollar ebay computer | 20:35 |
| sidewalk | how do i reinstall and reconfigure my graphics card, and more important, how do i get special 3d effects working? | 20:35 |
| GHOST | xubuntu is fine 4 128mb | 20:36 |
| flibberdy | jalen: edit? you mean a text editor? there are holy wars fought over less.. vim/emacs are hardcore, nano or pico are lightweight. I like nano and vim | 20:36 |
| GHOST | me its xfce! | 20:36 |
| nickrud | verb3k, how do we get ourselves banned from that stats page :) :) | 20:36 |

| guest946 | butcherbird, I'd rather just build it from old parts I can scab off other people =).... I haven't used ubuntu in ages... how much disk space does a minimal install use? | 20:36 |
| verb3k | nickrud, ask the site admin :) | 20:37 |
| ripdisk | ifireball: ok, i'm reading that page right now.. | 20:37 |

| verb3k | nenolod, yes http://psxim.googlecode.com | 20:49 |
| Montego | Does anyone know If there Is a Plan to offer a roll back tool for the updates? Dare I say Like Windows XP. | 20:50 |
| wols_ | lonejack: there is no java plugin for 64bit Linux. either run nspluginwrapper with the 32bit plugin or use a 32bit firefox and the plugin. same for flash. no other way | 20:50 |
| wols_ | monshin: no | 20:50 |
| wols_ | Montego: no. downgrade is not possible and not anticipated | 20:50 |
| ifireball | Montego: you can start such a plan on the Dev. wiki.... | 20:51 |
| MoxJet | Hello. What is the font package named with the fonts nu and clean? | 20:51 |
| nenolod | verb3k, i'll look into it. | 20:51 |
| Montego | Wols Hmm there has been problems with some Updates packages in the past. Thats why I am asking | 20:51 |
| tritium | Montego: that is a rare occasion, and when it happens, it is fixed. | 20:52 |
| flibberdy | anyone here know how i can move my gkrellm "window" in XFCE4? | 20:52 |
| verb3k | nenolod, I will be waiting here :) note the program is only one file ( if you can make a menu item for it I really appreciate it. Use the Icon "media-optical" for it) | 20:53 |
| ifireball | Montego: seeing that some of the newer package management systems can do this kind of stuff, someone may ush that into APT eventually, like I said, if there is demand stirring up on the wiki/bug-list ppl may work on it sooner... | 20:53 |
| ax1s | am i the only one who has had a brand new install of kubuntu gutsys updater crash on them | 20:53 |
| nenolod | verb3k, can you include a Makefile to install your packages? | 20:54 |
| GHOST | i think so... | 20:54 |
| wraith | This was not the plan at all. | 20:54 |
| verb3k | nenolod, I don't know anything about make | 20:54 |
| wols_ | ifireball: 21:54 <dpkg> methinks downgrade is not possible with apt-get currently. No future support is anticipated. Some programs change the binary format of their files in a way that cannot be rolled back later, and package maintainer scripts provide ways to upgrade to new config file formats but not ways to downgrade. You can always try to downgrade a package using dpkg -i <olderversion.deb>. | 20:54 |
| Montego | Am Not a Developer. But for us that are new to Ubuntu sure would be nice little tool when we screw things up. Will Look at Wiki. Thanks | 20:54 |
| GHOST | BYE ALL | 20:55 |
| verb3k | nenolod, that's why I am looking for a volunteer packager :) | 20:55 |

| lonejack | wols_: nspluginwrapper is already installed but when I go to page:http://javatester.org/version.html, the java doesn't work... | 20:55 |
| verb3k | nenolod, it's a python script and doesn't need compilation | 20:55 |
| ifireball | wols_: I never said its easy, but its not impossible, switching to the new init system wasn't any simpler, and it was done eventually | 20:55 |
| wols_ | lonejack: you also need to load the javaplugin via nspluginwrapper.... | 20:56 |

| n4t | I have a problem with the refresh rate of the screen | 21:05 |
| n4t | how can I solve? | 21:05 |
| Jordan_U | n4t, I assume that problem is the the refresh rate is incorrect? | 21:05 |

| stefano | flash doesnt work, firefox says that it's not installed, flashplugin-nonfree and ubuntu-restricted-extras are installed and firefox has been restarted, has anyone any idea why? | 21:06 |
| kyu_flux | stefano: amd64? | 21:07 |
| Jordan_U | n4t, The configuration file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you edit it you should probably create a backup first | 21:07 |
| stefano | kyu_flux, no, standard 32bit | 21:07 |
| n4t | in that file isn't any information about refresh | 21:07 |
| kyu_flux | stefano: sorry, can't help. I had that problem with amd64 yesterday... | 21:07 |
| Jordan_U | n4t, You can also try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 21:07 |
| thebreak31 | org | 21:07 |
| n4t | Jordan_U, is a problem with the hardware .... also in the live cd I noticed that... problem | 21:08 |

| neopsyche | cool | 21:11 |
| GHOST | me xubuntu | 21:11 |
| CB_ | so i dont really know | 21:11 |
| GHOST | da best! | 21:11 |

| macd | CB_, well first you type them, to copy a file "cp file file" | 21:12 |
| kbrosnan | ere4si: yes it is, you linked to Adobe Flash Player a completely different product | 21:12 |

| bdancer | can u help me? | 21:13 |
| tommy | I am running aircrack atm, just for security reasons. but Im wondering when do things appear under detected wireless' when I am scanning? If you understand;P network activity maybe | 21:13 |

| CB_ | hey is gnome better than kde | 21:13 |
| kyu_flux | CB_: that's like asking which religion is better | 21:13 |
| GHOST | xcfe is better | 21:13 |
| maxo | lol | 21:14 |
| GHOST | :) | 21:14 |
| kyu_flux | CB_: why not try a bunch yourself and then settle on what you like the best | 21:14 |
| macd | mehrab1131, you can right click a panel and app/remove applets to it, and right click the applet itself once added to move, change its settings | 21:14 |
| hypn0 | fluxbox is better than xfce :-) | 21:14 |
| verb3k | Neyuth, another way is dmesg or dmesg | tail | 21:14 |
| CB_ | well what is gook in kde | 21:14 |

| kyu_flux | bdancer: not that i'm the best person here to help, I just installed ubuntu yesterday, but I have a Q6600, too, and it's up | 21:14 |
| verb3k | nenolod, Thank you | 21:14 |
| verb3k | nenolod, did you try it? what do you think if so? | 21:15 |
| bdancer | macd, nothing... its just shutdown my monitor after kernel load... and then nothing | 21:15 |
| GHOST | (0.o) | 21:15 |
| verb3k | Neyuth, no problem :) | 21:15 |
| mehrab1131 | macd : I want to change its behaviour. Iwant it to hide when a window is open. I dont mean autohide | 21:15 |
| mehrab1131 | I want it to act like a dock | 21:15 |

| Arvid | any idea what to do about that? | 21:15 |
| mehrab1131 | I tried awn but it didnt pleased me | 21:15 |
| GHOST | gnome is faster than kde | 21:16 |
| mirdin | any unbuntu/networking experts round here? | 21:16 |
| CB_ | yup | 21:16 |
| GHOST | :) | 21:16 |
| kyu_flux | bdancer: yup | 21:16 |
| macd | bdancer, does it work as a livecd, rather than installingh? | 21:16 |
| kyu_flux | bdancer: the problem I had was trying to setup raid | 21:16 |
| GHOST | yep it works | 21:16 |
| macd | mehrab1131, I gotcha, Im not sure you can do that, but there are alternatives like awm to the gnome panel | 21:17 |
| Montego | dumb chatter. How do I get to off topic chat? | 21:17 |
| maxo | GHOST: I actually find KDE to be slightly faster | 21:17 |
| bdancer | macd, when i press "install or load or something" in grub it do nothing after kernel load | 21:17 |
| CB_ | oh | 21:17 |
| macd | Montego, type /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:17 |
| Montego | ty | 21:17 |
| CB_ | are there other enviroments | 21:17 |
| GHOST | o mayby got old folk hardware lol | 21:17 |
| mehrab1131 | but I have some problems with awn | 21:17 |
| mirdin | i read HP is real iffy with ubuntu | 21:17 |
| macd | bdancer, I'd try the 32bit one for troubleshooting reasons, but I have a feeling it doesnt like a piece of your hardware, OR you just got a bad disc burn | 21:17 |
| mirdin | anyone know that? | 21:17 |
| Montego | /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:18 |
| macd | mirdin, older HP's | 21:18 |
| Flannel | CB_: theres tons of environments | 21:18 |
| aslam | i have a SAA7130 TV Tuner and it detects it but i cant get any video to show | 21:18 |
| CB_ | like what | 21:18 |
| macd | Montego, take the space out. | 21:18 |
| kyu_flux | macd: do you know if the alternative disc kernel is different than the regular disc? | 21:18 |
| mirdin | macd: i'm learning that | 21:18 |
| Montego | oops | 21:18 |
| ifireball | mehrab1131: you mean, right click on panel->properties->auto hide ? | 21:18 |
| kyu_flux | macd: if it is, I would suggest bdancer try amd64 alternative | 21:18 |
| bdancer | macd, disk burn is ok, 32bit version works fine.. suse 10.3 64bit works fine but i want ubuntu )) | 21:18 |
| Flannel | kyu_flux: They install the same kernel | 21:18 |
| kyu_flux | Flannel: damn | 21:18 |
| GHOST | anyone got a virus on linux :( ? | 21:19 |
| mirdin | ifireball: sorry to disappear, my second machine died! | 21:19 |
| ifireball | mirdin: oh... | 21:19 |
| CB_ | can you get a virus in linux | 21:19 |
| Flannel | kyu_flux: Whats your problem? | 21:19 |
| kyu_flux | Flannel: of course, what do I know, I only installed this yesterday =) | 21:19 |
| GHOST | i thin so :( | 21:19 |
| kyu_flux | Flannel: the problem wasn't for me, it was for bdancer | 21:19 |
| bdancer | kyu_flux, i think they both have the same kernel | 21:19 |
| GHOST | not in bsd thoug | 21:19 |
| mirdin | yeah, right at the key moment when i think you were bout to solve me up | 21:19 |
| kyu_flux | Flannel: my box is up =) | 21:19 |
| ARAM | HI | 21:19 |
| mehrab1131 | macd: how should I set awn to make it apear in startup? | 21:19 |
| ifireball | CB_: the theoretical possibility exists, I never heard of it happening to anyone though | 21:19 |
| Flannel | ah, that explains why your chat history doesnt show anything | 21:19 |
| GHOST | hey i the! | 21:19 |
| mehrab1131 | and also screenlets | 21:19 |
| CB_ | wow, need to update my security | 21:20 |
| macd | kyu_flux, they have the same, just different graphics options | 21:20 |
| Andycasss | how to create a blank file in terminal? | 21:20 |
| kyu_flux | Flannel: i'm just trying to figure out what I should start doing next | 21:20 |
| macd | mehrab1131, I dont know anything about awn | 21:20 |
| CB_ | how do i do tha | 21:20 |
| CB_ | that | 21:20 |
| mirdin | ifireball: yeah, right when you were about to solve all my problems too, heh | 21:20 |
| ARAM | again i have tried the method that aedg suggest but still doesn work | 21:20 |
| macd | mehrab1131, but I think clicking system-->prefs-->sessions you can add it to startup | 21:20 |
| ARAM | it says that x server can not be... | 21:20 |
| Flannel | bdancer: What Have you tried so far? The desktop CD installs, but then it wont boot the installed system? or you cant get the liveCD to boot? | 21:20 |
| ARAM | what shall i do? | 21:20 |
| mehrab1131 | macd, aha, i should test it | 21:21 |
| ARAM | any help? | 21:21 |
| kyu_flux | snap, XMMS! I almost forgot about it! | 21:21 |
| macd | bdancer, hmm, lets see If I can find you a link to debugging the livecd boot, I think I've seen one then maybe you can get some more info byond it just sits there | 21:21 |
| mehrab1131 | macd, thanks alot | 21:21 |
| ifireball | mirdin: yeah, you do have one crazy problem there... I'm reluctant to ask this when linux is involved, but did you try rebooting? | 21:21 |
| raf | Salut à tous, j'ai un disque dur formaté à la base pour windows (en NTFS) sur lequel j'ai installé ubuntu. Je voudrai formaté le tout pour ne réinstaller que seulement ubuntu. Comment dois-je faire en ligne de commande pour formater le tout. Thanks | 21:21 |

| brobostigon | !fr | raf | 21:21 |
| GHOST | non reste lol!! | 21:21 |
| bdancer | Flannel, it doest go further then kernel load | 21:21 |
| maxo | raf: fdisk | 21:21 |
| ifireball | mirdin: I.e. seems to me something is locking your ifcae and we need to kill it somehow | 21:21 |
| Flannel | bdancer: In the installed system? or the liveCD? | 21:22 |
| mirdin | ifireball: yeah, i did. I think it has to do with it being an old HP which i hear is shaky with ubuntu | 21:22 |
| raf | oui j'y suis allé mais je ne m'y retrouve pas dans tous les forms | 21:22 |
| Andycasss | how to create a blank file in terminal? | 21:22 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: it says x server | 21:22 |
| macd | Flannel, the livecd | 21:22 |
| bdancer | Flannel, from install cd | 21:22 |
| mirdin | ifireball: ifcae? hmm | 21:22 |
| Jordan_U | Andycasss, touch <filename> | 21:22 |
| brobostigon | !fr | raf | 21:22 |
| ubotu | raf: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 21:22 |
| macd | bdancer, the livecd or the alternate install cd? | 21:22 |
| mirdin | ifireball: that's a clue, thanks | 21:22 |
| ifireball | mirdin: iface* == interface | 21:22 |
| bdancer | macd, live | 21:22 |
| Andycasss | Jordan_U: thanks | 21:22 |
| Flannel | bdancer: Alright, try the alternate CD. | 21:22 |

| ARAM | Jordan_U: wait i will type the full massage now | 21:23 |
| MacTheMad | could someone take a look at these bind configs & tell me what/how I need to fix? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7021d3cb | 21:23 |
| maxo | raf: si vous mettez le cd d'installation ubuntu, ca formatera tout le disque dur si vous voulez | 21:23 |
| ifireball | mirdin: maybe try to unload/load the relevant module | 21:23 |
| Jordan_U | ARAM, Is this the LiveCD or an actual installed system? | 21:23 |
| mirdin | ifireball: ah, hmm, strange | 21:23 |
| GHOST | OUI C CA | 21:23 |
| mirdin | ifireball: i think I'm going to have another shot at it but I'll need help cause I'm new to this | 21:23 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: it is live cd i want to boot and then install ubuntu on my labtop | 21:23 |
| Jordan_U | ARAM, There is probably no need for the whole output, and you can put the output on a thumb drive so you don't have to retype it all | 21:23 |
| Flannel | bdancer: no, but a lot of people have issues with the liveCD not working, but the installed system works fine. Alternate CD will allow you to install the system | 21:23 |
| ifireball | mirdin: k. paste lsmod | 21:24 |
| Jordan_U | ARAM, Have you tried booting into safe graphics mode? | 21:24 |
| mirdin | ifireball: i wouldn't know which module or where | 21:24 |
| raf | maxo, OK merci je teste | 21:24 |
| bdancer | Flannel, tnx ) | 21:24 |

| kyu_flux | any ideas? | 21:24 |
| maxo | GHOST: vous etes francais alors? | 21:24 |

| ARAM | Jordan_U: it syas fails to start the x server (your graphical intergace) | 21:24 |
| maxo | GHOST: ou en france? | 21:24 |
| macd | kyu_flux, thats due to the totem-gstreamer browser plugin | 21:25 |
| GHOST | a lyon :) | 21:25 |
| mirdin | ifireball: i gotta find a second monitor now to do more because my laptop is dead and the ubuntu box is off | 21:25 |
| ifireball | mirdin: btw we're talking wired here not wireless right? | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | bdancer, An option for OEM's like Dell, you probably don't want it :) | 21:25 |
| mirdin | ifireball: wired | 21:25 |
| mirdin | ifireball: although I have a wireless card in there too | 21:25 |
| Flannel | bdancer: It allows people who sell computers to install and configure ubuntu before they sell them, and then allows the end user to setup his language, timezone, username, etc. | 21:25 |
| mirdin | ifireball: buut, i figure walk first | 21:25 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: and then it says it is likely that it is not set up correctly | 21:25 |
| bdancer | Jordan_U, its like automate install> | 21:25 |
| kyu_flux | macd: recommend to uninstall it? | 21:25 |
| kbrosnan | RioCunliffe: /usr/lib/firefox | 21:25 |
| macd | kyu_flux, not if you want it to play in your browser | 21:26 |
| ifireball | mirdin: yeah | 21:26 |
| Jordan_U | ARAM, Again, have you tried safe graphics mode ? | 21:26 |
| RioCunliffe | kbrosnan: cheers ill try it :) | 21:26 |
| ifireball | mirdin: btw did it ever work with any Linux? | 21:26 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: no | 21:26 |
| GHOST | gotta learn about using irc chat lol! | 21:26 |
| Jordan_U | ARAM, Please try that, it is an option when you first boot the LiveCD | 21:26 |
| ARAM | ok | 21:26 |
| GHOST | yup | 21:26 |
| kyu_flux | macd: what do you recommend? | 21:27 |
| macd | kyu_flux, rhytmbox and totem use the same backend to play your mp3's so its possible uninstalling totem could do thet, but there must be a setting somewhere | 21:27 |
| Arvid | anyone who are familiar with "route" ? | 21:27 |
| MacTheMad | can someone take a look at my bind configs & tell me what I'm doing wrong? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7021d3cb | 21:27 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: in the guide i read it says i need to press f6 and then type breakl=top and then hit return | 21:27 |
| macd | kyu_flux, let me dig around for a minute | 21:27 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: shall i do that? | 21:27 |
| kyu_flux | macd: right on, thanks | 21:27 |
| GHOST | rythmbox is nice buddy | 21:27 |
| ifireball | Arvid: yes | 21:27 |

| Arvid | ifireball: I'm trying to transfer files to my laptop but for some reason the go all they way out on the web and back. I had this problem before and last time a friend fixed it by running some route command which directed de traffic directly to the laptop | 21:29 |
| kaddict | could anyone tell me how to launch an app on gnome's virtual desktop 2 on boot? | 21:29 |
| GHOST | hey merry x mas all ! | 21:29 |
| macd | maxo, if your user is in sudo group, you can add a line to sudoers and have it not ask for the password when it runs | 21:29 |

| take0n | guys please help me.. Ubuntu 7.10 KDE how do I change themes? I downloaded emerald I downloaded themes from kde-look.org, I imported those themes in emerald (I see them in the list) but.. nothing happens when I double click!! | 21:31 |

| larry | hi macd | 21:31 |
| GHOST | o ok! | 21:31 |
| maxo | Flannel: I've set the mailbox as readable by others, but when a new message is received, the permissions resort to only allowing the user to read it | 21:31 |
| Arvid | FlyingSquirrel32: I'm getting ~100kb/s which is the same rate I can upload with | 21:31 |
| macd | kyu_flux, I can't find anything maybe someone else here can help you, sorry! | 21:31 |
| Arvid | ifireball: I'm not sure :) | 21:31 |
| Flannel | maxo: Ah, right. Change the mask that new mail is created with in the mail program. I imagine thats doable. | 21:31 |
| kyu_flux | macd: no problem, thanks for your help | 21:31 |
| kaddict | any advice about starting an application on a specific gnome desktop? | 21:31 |

| quaal | something wrong with compiz | 21:32 |
| take0n | jordan_U I know it's not but the themes I found in kde-look are for emerald so I installed it | 21:32 |

| Montego | Will sudo apt-get remove All the system updates from 2 days ago? | 21:33 |
| Flannel | maxo: Right, but that still goes through a program. A mask sets the permissions on files created by that program. Lots of servers have configurations for it. I'm unsure if the mail program youre using does, but its certainly worth a look. | 21:33 |
| take0n | thats the prob window decoration doesnt change | 21:33 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | could someone help me get my usb mouse to work on gutsy? It works only if it's plugged in when I boot | 21:33 |

| take0n | and I don't know how to change themes.. | 21:33 |
| Slart | Odd-rationale: you can make a copy of the cd to a iso-file... was that what you mean? | 21:34 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: it works in safe mode | 21:34 |
| take0n | its driving me crazy | 21:34 |
| Arvid | ifireball: got it - hang on | 21:34 |
| quaal | Jordan_U, now.. any idea what is wrong with compiz-fusion? it was working fine on 7.04 using compiz | 21:34 |
| maxo | Flannel: the other problem is I'm not the admin of this box (though I can ssh to it), so I have to work with what I've got. | 21:34 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: it can boot in saFe mode can i install it in safe mode ? | 21:34 |
| Odd-rationale | Slart: No, I want to burn some .wav files to an iso. | 21:34 |
| Jordan_U | ARAM, Then I would install in safe mode then use System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager to get the right drivers for your card AFTER you have restarted into the installed system | 21:35 |
| Slart | Odd-rationale: oh.. you want to create a iso-file.. instead of burning the an actual cd | 21:35 |
| GHOST | sry but how can i change a theme on xubuntu? | 21:35 |

| MikeH | any ideas? | 21:35 |

| Jordan_U | Montego, No | 21:36 |
| Montego | Dam Strike 2 | 21:37 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: and also i can not change the resoulation | 21:37 |
| Odd-rationale | Slart: I read here that you can mount an iso as writable: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountIso | 21:37 |
| take0n | so Jordan_U what should I do? | 21:37 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Odd-rationale: Places->CD Creator. Put your .wav files there and click Write to disc. | 21:37 |
| raf | c'est quoi la ligne de commande pour savoir si c'est un 32 ou 64 bit ?? | 21:37 |

| macd | larry, yes can I help you? | 21:38 |
| Odd-rationale | FlyingSquirrel32: I wanted audio. | 21:38 |

| Sindri | Hi, I need some help with a first time install. | 21:38 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: it doesnt work | 21:38 |
| Jordan_U | take0n, If you want to use an emerald theme then you need to use emerald as your window decorator, that also means that you will need a composited window manager like compiz or xcompmgr | 21:38 |
| GHOST | wat is it | 21:38 |
| larry | i need toconfigure a network scanner | 21:38 |
| Jordan_U | ARAM, What doesn't work? | 21:38 |
| Slart | Odd-rationale: mkisofs can create iso-files.. don't know how to convince to create an audio-cd instead of a regular data cd | 21:38 |
| take0n | ooh thanks!! | 21:38 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: i hold alt but nothing happen hold alt and press up arrow | 21:38 |
| MikeH | how can I get ubuntu to reconfigure my display? | 21:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Slart: I think he wants to encode wavs to create audio cd's | 21:39 |
| Jordan_U | ARAM, No, you need to hold alt then click on the window and drag it up | 21:39 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: i can not move the position of windows | 21:39 |
| butcherbird | MikeH: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 21:39 |
| Slart | Jack_Sparrow: he wants to create a cd-image.. not burn the actual cd | 21:39 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Odd-rationale: Oh, let me see. | 21:39 |
| macd | larry, what do mean by configure? you mean use? | 21:39 |
| butcherbird | wait just create an image of cd? cat /dev/cdrom > file.iso or use dd | 21:39 |
| Jordan_U | Odd-rationale, I think k3b will let you do that | 21:39 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: but there is no place to drag it up it stick to the panel | 21:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Slart: HIs questions are not well worded | 21:40 |
| Slart | Jack_Sparrow: a cd-image that, if burnt to a cd, would give him an audio cd.. at least that's how I understood it | 21:40 |
| GHOST | lol extropiens sux | 21:40 |

| Montego | If I post a launchpad topic in here could someone check it out and let me know what i need to do to get it taken seriously by Ubuntu developers? Or is this not that chat to do this? | 21:41 |
| macd | MikeH, if you've recently upgraded to a new version of ubuntu, you may have to reconfigure your xserver | 21:41 |
| MacTheMad | am I an unwanted stepchild or something? | 21:41 |
| take0n | ok Jordan I installed xcompmgr | 21:41 |
| take0n | what do I do next? | 21:41 |
| bdancer | macd: it all ok )) | 21:41 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: i have hide the up and down pannel and the try to drag but there is no place for mouse to go upper | 21:41 |
| ifireball | Arvid: what a mess... both machines get real internet addresses, and on different subnets, no wonder you need to mess with routs | 21:41 |
| macd | Montego, post the url, maybe its not even beebn looked at | 21:41 |
| Sindri | I have never used linix before. downloaded latest version and burned. when installing it gets to 21%. says loading libc6-vdeb and zreezes. tried redownloading and burned another copy, but it does the same thing. trying to run it on a dell server 933 P3 x2 with mirrored raid | 21:41 |
| Jordan_U | take0n, I think it's "emerald --replace" | 21:41 |
| Slart | Odd-rationale: Brasero lets you chose if you want to burn to a cd or to a image | 21:41 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: i can drag it down but not up | 21:41 |
| larry | please, someone can help me with a network scanner? | 21:41 |

| kyu_flux | anyone: totem visualization broken after xmms install | 21:42 |
| MikeH | however there were alot of updates that I installed previous to this happening actually | 21:42 |

| kyu_flux | anyone: any ideas how to fix the vis? | 21:42 |
| bdancer | Jordan_U: no need to download alternate )) everything works ) | 21:42 |
| GHOST | lol how can i awser to a dude here? | 21:42 |
| take0n | do you mean I should type xcompmgr emerald --replace ? | 21:42 |
| take0n | in terminal? | 21:42 |
| macd | larry,what are you trying todo? use a network scanner, like nmap? launch a terminal type "sudo apt-get install nmap" then type "man nmap" to see howto use it. | 21:42 |
| MikeH | How can I get ubuntu to automatically configure my display as it did before. | 21:42 |
| ifireball | Arvid: anycase let me see about routs... | 21:42 |
| macd | MikeH, and it just magically stopped working, or? | 21:42 |
| MikeH | macd, well, it was fine, until I restarted X a minute ago | 21:42 |
| macd | MikeH, you can run from console, "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to reconfigure it | 21:42 |
| MikeH | macd, That requires input from me, ubuntu originally configured my X server automatically, this must be possible again. | 21:43 |
| macd | MikeH, if you applied the updates from earlier, and didnt reboot only restarted X you might have a problem till you reboot | 21:43 |
| butcherbird | MikeH: just select driver then enter for defaults on everything you dont know the answer to | 21:43 |
| larry | i need help for a image scanner | 21:43 |
| Jordan_U | ARAM, OK, right click the top and / or bottom panel and choose preferences, there should be an option to add hide buttons to the panel | 21:43 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Odd-rationale: Wikipedia says in the second paragraph that the .iso format doesn't support audio CD's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_image | 21:43 |
| macd | MikeH, yes, just tell it your card, then hit enter throughout the rest of the process | 21:43 |
| MikeH | brb, I'll restart X, and macd, I have rebooted | 21:43 |
| staykovmarin | hi, i have a computer that cannnot be connected to the internet, but needs the restricted packages. is there a way to get them off the cd? | 21:43 |

| FlyingSquirrel32 | Odd-rationale: Ever try imaging an audio cd you already have? | 21:44 |
| Jordan_U | take0n, No, likely "xcompmgr --replace && emerald --replace" But that is just a guess | 21:44 |
| larry | macd, i need help for a ethernet image scanner | 21:44 |

| MikeH | I think ubuntu has defaulted back to xorg, instead of xgl. | 21:46 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Odd-rationale: I never knew that either. | 21:46 |

| ifireball | Arvid: so you're coping over ssh, its not very fast, so the speeds you're getting are normal for a 100mbit network | 21:56 |
| Arvid | ifireball: what should i then use? ftp? | 21:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MikeH: sudo dpkg is how it is done, there is no automagic script | 21:56 |
| ARAM | Jordan_U: any help? | 21:57 |
| MikeH | Jack_Sparrow, I certainly didn't make any input to xorg-config | 21:57 |
| ifireball | Arvid: you may get better results with NFS, but it may not be worth the trouble of setting up, it may also be a security risk in your case since your computers are on the real internet and not behind any kind of firewall | 21:57 |
| MikeH | and if this was the case Jack_Sparrow, why is it yielding different results now? | 21:57 |
| vincenz | Hello, this is a bit OT, but anyone that is familiar with internal laptop hds? I bought a new one to relace my current ne, since my current one is breaking. I have an external case. However, taking out my old harddrive, it has this flat divider with connectors on both sides so it does not fit in the casing. That being said, the new harddrive has unique pins, will this fit in the laptop? | 21:57 |
| Montego | ifireball have you had time to check out the url I posted? | 21:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MikeH: I am aware of that, but there is no stand alone script to configure that. | 21:57 |

| nosrednaekim | !LAMP | 22:05 |
| ubotu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 22:05 |
| zelda` | seriously how do I make netstat only show internet connections | 22:05 |
| mitchp | ARAM: I believe you want primary for everything except swap | 22:05 |
| Invert314 | mitchp, i am at /mnt/hda1/etc/rc2.d | 22:05 |
| nosrednaekim | zelda`: -n I think. | 22:05 |
| zelda` | klol ty | 22:05 |
| zelda` | nope | 22:05 |
| ifireball | mitchp: that would be just the opposite of what you'd want | 22:06 |
| Jimmy_saint | can not install ATI driver, getting error message: The software source for the package xorg-driver-fglrx is not enabled. | 22:06 |
| ARAM | mitchp: could you please explain why swap do not need primary ?because when i create swap as primary then it says the rest of the hard drive are unusable | 22:06 |
| mitchp | Invert314: hmm, I thought there was a networking script there that you could disable temporarily to stop that error, however that would also stop you from having a network connection. I'm thinking you need to reinstall network-manager | 22:06 |
| Grandslammaster | how do i fugure out my websights ip | 22:06 |
| ARAM | if i have 2gb ram what is the best choise to creat e swap | 22:06 |
| ARAM | 4gb? | 22:06 |
| ifireball | ARAM: if you can avoid using extended partitions (e.g. use less then 5) by all means do so | 22:07 |

| Slart | ARAM: ye old books says twice the ram.. so 4 GB | 22:07 |
| bundagan | why doesn't ubuntu come with a video editor by default? | 22:07 |
| Slart | ARAM: but ye old books are getting old.. it might have changed | 22:07 |
| scragar | Grandslammaster: from a terminal ping it, it shows what it works the IP to be | 22:07 |
| macd | bundagan, you can install one from synaptic. | 22:07 |
| nosrednaekim | zelda`: no clue then | 22:07 |
| butcherbird | ARAM: swap isnt a big deal these days also you can format a swap file and use that | 22:07 |
| ARAM | Slart: what shall i do the 2gb? | 22:07 |
| butcherbird | ARAM: er create a swap file | 22:08 |

| Acxty | thanks | 22:08 |
| ziyax | Jimmy_saint, try to use Envy | 22:08 |
| ARAM | Slart: why i can not create swap as primary ? | 22:08 |
| mitchp | Invert314: You would need to download the .deb package for it onto your hard drive while using the liveCD, then disable the networking script so it'll boot, then apt-get remove network-manager. Then double click the .deb package to reinstall it. However when you remove it you might delete your dependencies. Let me go look at the debian site | 22:08 |
| ifireball | ARAM: primary/extended has to do with the way dos-compatible partitions work on PC, technically its very ugly, though not that important | 22:08 |
| Grandslammaster | how do i ping it | 22:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ziyax: bad idea.. envy is evil | 22:08 |
| nosrednaekim | ToddEDM: let it run.... if it never starts, do it from the command line with cfdisk | 22:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jimmy_saint: DOnt use envy | 22:08 |
| Slart | ARAM: you can only have 4 primary partitions.. that could be it? | 22:08 |
| ziyax | Jack_Sparrow, not for me i'm happy with it | 22:08 |
| scragar | ToddEDM: fdisk is faster, although it is a little more likly to delete things | 22:09 |
| Zerhash | how do i get the nvidia driver working? anyone? | 22:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !worksforme > ziyax | 22:09 |
| ziyax | haha^^ | 22:09 |
| Grandslammaster | scragar: how do i ping it | 22:09 |
| ActySofts | hello all | 22:09 |
| ToddEDM | scragar: i want the whole thing wiped | 22:09 |
| ifireball | ARAM the more important factor is WHERE the partitions are on the disk, the closer they are to the beginning the faster they work, so you want / (root) and swap as close to the beginning as possible | 22:09 |
| Invert314 | thank you mitchp | 22:09 |
| scragar | Grandslammaster: from a teminal type "ping URL" | 22:09 |
| Grandslammaster | i dont know the url | 22:10 |
| ActySofts | k3b says me that the charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968 and that it shouldn't be like that | 22:10 |
| Grandslammaster | right now it is an ip but i dont know it | 22:10 |
| ActySofts | it suggests me to check if the LC* eviro variables are set, how? | 22:10 |
| mitchp | Invert314: I would think there'd be a way to reinstall it from the data on the LiveCD but that's over my head | 22:10 |
| Grandslammaster | i just installed apache | 22:10 |
| zelda` | is initrf.img important or can I delete it | 22:10 |
| ARAM | ifireball: ok i mean i have external hard drive which is 80 gb and i want to install ubuntu on it | 22:10 |
| zelda` | * initrd.img | 22:10 |
| head____________ | zelda`: why would you delete it> | 22:10 |
| head____________ | ? | 22:11 |
| Invert314 | mitchp, this livecd isn't ubuntu, it's elivecd | 22:11 |
| ranok | zelda`: keep it | 22:11 |
| ifireball | ARAM: ok? | 22:11 |
| zelda` | to free space | 22:11 |
| Grandslammaster | i know it will start with 65.xx.xxx.xxx | 22:11 |
| mitchp | Invert314: Oh, ok | 22:11 |
| scragar | ToddEDM: then choose fdisk, but fdisk unlike gparted doesn't build lists of tasks, it does them as you choose to, so if your planning on setting up something complicated use gparted | 22:11 |
| ARAM | ifireball: but the problem is that i have to ntfs partiton which is my personal thing on it and i dont want to use it | 22:11 |
| ranok | zelda`: it's the initial ram image | 22:11 |
| Zerhash | anyone know how to get the nvidia driver going on ubuntu | 22:11 |
| head____________ | zelda`: to free <10M space? | 22:11 |
| bundagan | how can i quickly uninstall all games? | 22:11 |
| ARAM | ifireball: but ubuntu want to use the as /boot | 22:11 |
| zelda` | ok what can I get rid of to clear about 200MB of space | 22:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Invert314: Elive caused me nothing but grief.. no support what so ever... | 22:11 |
| head____________ | zelda`: the porno. | 22:11 |
| zelda` | I don't have any | 22:12 |
| ifireball | ARAM: you don't need a /boot, just make "/", "/home" ans swap | 22:12 |
| ranok | zelda`: /var/cache/apt/archives/* | 22:12 |
| ifireball | and* | 22:12 |
| ARAM | ifireball: i dont know what to do because they are to partiton ntfs at the end of hard and each are 20gb and i just wan to use another 40 gb of hard and just leave them without making any change to them | 22:12 |
| ranok | Zerhash: the OSS one, or the official Nvidia one? | 22:12 |
| ActySofts | k3b complains about the charset being ANSI_X3.4-1968, saying that data projects could get corrupted. how can I fix it? | 22:12 |
| mitchp | Invert314: Try this before anything else: boot into safe mode (terminal) and run apt-get update then apt-get upgrade | 22:12 |
| vincenz | ok, I debootstrapped onto a new harddrive that is in a USB case. Installed grub on it and installed all the necessary packages. how would I now replace this with my laptop hd, do I -need- a livecd to finalize or will it work? | 22:12 |
| ifireball | ARAM: then you'd have only 4 partitions and all can be primary | 22:12 |
| nosrednaekim | zelda`: "sudo apt-get autoclean" | 22:12 |
| Tyczek | there is available 7.12 Ati driver | 22:12 |

| zelda` | LOL this download is at 69% done | 22:12 |
| scragar | Grandslammaster: wait, you just installed apache? then run ifconfig, the IP is listed after "inet addr:" | 22:12 |
| head____________ | zelda`: as a rule, don't touch anything that lives in {/,/boot,/root,/usr,/var} and is owned by root | 22:12 |
| Zerhash | ranok: official nvidia | 22:12 |
| nosrednaekim | Tyczek: yep... works well for me | 22:12 |
| Invert314 | a fresh kernel was doanloaded and installed | 22:12 |
| Tyczek | nosrednaekim, yep... for me too | 22:13 |
| Invert314 | didn't allow me to boot gdm | 22:13 |

| zelda` | I'm the owner of the computer so I'm root | 22:13 |
| ifireball | ARAM: there is more then one NTFS partition? | 22:13 |
| ARAM | ifireball: i know but when prepare partiton windows show a partitons the problem is | 22:13 |
| ranok | Zerhash: yeah | 22:13 |
| ARAM | ifireball: yes 2 | 22:13 |
| Tyczek | powerplay- and resolution is not reseting after restart ;} | 22:13 |

| mitchp | Invert314: after reading some more things, it appears this may be more complicated than anticipated. Do you not have an Ubuntu CD? | 22:13 |
| ranok | ok, here's my question: I have gusty installed, (fully updated), using LILO rather than grub, and all of a sudden it stops working | 22:13 |
| ranok | after a minor kernel update | 22:13 |
| ARAM | ifireball: linux know then as unknown and when i click on edit partiton it shows linux use this two ntfs as /boot | 22:13 |
| ActySofts | ranok: why use lilo? | 22:13 |
| Invert314 | mitchp, i do have an ubuntu cd | 22:13 |
| zelda` | lol I'm using ubuntu to burn a debian CD | 22:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zelda`: You can take everything from var/cache/apt/archives/ and burn it to disk so that you will not need to download it again later shold you want to reinstall | 22:13 |
| ifireball | ARAM, the existing partitions, are they primary or extended? | 22:13 |
| Invert314 | should i boot into that? | 22:14 |
| ARAM | ifireball: that is what make me crazy | 22:14 |
| chickenFuego | how do I set a default user to be selected in gdm? (like in kdm)? | 22:14 |

| mitchp | Invert314: I think it may be an issue in the kernel. Thinking you may want to reinstall if possible. Unless there's anyone on here who knows more. Did you say safe mode works or have you not tried it? | 22:15 |
| AnthroTechie | can someone tell me how to find the device name for my wireless router, like where in my system files it would be located? | 22:15 |

| zelda` | My internet speed is 128 kb/s, so why is this download going at 90 kb/s | 22:16 |
| Gabby | wat? | 22:16 |
| ifireball | ARAM: that's ok, it has to do with the order they appear in the partition table | 22:16 |
| jimmy__ | chickenFuego : sorry can you explain what you want me to paste in? I'm new to linux | 22:16 |
| Invert314 | mitchp, you said: <mitchp> Invert314: after reading some more things, it appears this may be more complicated than anticipated. Do you not have an Ubuntu CD? | 22:16 |
| Invert314 | what things were you reading? | 22:16 |
| TBotNik_u | Finally recovered in the "recovery" mode. That "greeter application crashing" error was wierd and it was trying to show better res, but kept failing. Don't understand why I lost my sound though? Are they in anyway related? | 22:16 |
| butcherbird | zelda`: because everyone between you and the server isnt giving their all to your download | 22:16 |
| ranok | anyone? | 22:16 |
| ARAM | ifireball: is it going to copy any thing on it ? | 22:16 |

| ActySofts | aww, still no flash plug-in? =( | 22:18 |
| ARAM | ifireball: what is sda for infront od the partito for example sda 1 or dev/sda 2 | 22:18 |
| jimmy__ | ChickenFuego: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49216/ thats what I get in the error window of Synaptic | 22:18 |
| Invert314 | mitchp, HAL stands for Hardware Abstraction Layer | 22:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jimmy__: You would need to enable the correct source repo for that... | 22:18 |
| Invert314 | that's about all i know about it lol | 22:18 |
| ActySofts | LjL: ? | 22:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ActySofts: Housekeeping | 22:19 |
| jimmy__ | Jack_sparrow: how? in synaptic somewhere? | 22:19 |
| ActySofts | oh | 22:19 |
| ifireball | ARAM: thats the name of the device in Linux, sda1 is partition #1 on scsi/usb disk A, and so forth | 22:19 |

| jimmy__ | Jack_sparrow: I'm not sure, I just need tomcat setup so I can start some Java dev work | 22:19 |
| LjL | ActySofts: no | 22:20 |
| ARAM | ifireball: thanks you very much for that and also | 22:20 |
| chickenFuego | jimmy__, you could try the following at the command line: "sudo apt-get install tomcat5.5" - It might solve the dependencies in a better way. paste the outputplz. | 22:20 |

| inet | is it 6? | 22:20 |
| Phusion | inet: http://www.clickmojo.com/code/cron-tutorial.html | 22:20 |

| MacTheMad | can anyone tell me what's wrong with these settings? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7021d3cb | 22:21 |
| Flannel | inet: 6, yes. 0 is sunday | 22:21 |
| wy | does the current version of fglrx from ATI work with suspend ? | 22:21 |
| Slart | inet: but surely that is explained in the man-page? | 22:21 |
| mehrab1131 | is there anyway to upgrade gutsy to ubuntu studio? | 22:21 |
| ARAM | ifireball: it shows device fir boot loder installation and in below show (hd0) | 22:21 |
| jimmy__ | chickenFuego: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49217/ | 22:21 |
| mitchp | Invert314: ok well renaming the networking script in rc2.d (put a _ in front of it to prevent it from loading but so you can easily change it back) and if that works then that should help narrow it down. It seems like the problem is iwth hardware that network manager is trying to load. | 22:21 |
| ARAM | ifireball: where this hd0 come from | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info tomcat5.5 | 22:21 |
| ubotu | tomcat5.5: Servlet and JSP engine. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.5.25-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 58 kB, installed size 368 kB | 22:21 |
| Flannel | mehrab1131: You don't need to "upgrade" just add the u-s repository and install the metapackage. You should ask in #ubuntustudio | 22:21 |
| ARAM | ifireball: is it stand for hard drive 0? | 22:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jimmy__: SO you need to enable universe repo | 22:22 |
| mitchp | Invert314: something like S80network-manager. Mine's different cuz I use wicd, but mine's S80wicd. | 22:22 |
| chickenFuego | jimmy__, no problem.. you just need to close all applications related to package management, and rerun apt-get. | 22:22 |
| ARAM | ifireball: if i want to tell it to install boot files on /sda3 what should i type? | 22:22 |
| dave81 | is there a p2p program that is good to use on linux? | 22:22 |
| chickenFuego | "Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock" is an error if another app is locking the apt cache. | 22:22 |
| jimmy__ | chickenFuego: sorry, do i just run the command line install command u typed earlier? | 22:23 |
| AnthroTechie | I'm trying to make open DNS my default DNS settings for my wireless connection, so I'm following the instructions from opendns.com, but in the last part of the instructions for ubuntu my computer says that eth1 in not configured? | 22:23 |
| wy | Is gparted safe to be used to reside the partitions? I found I don't have enough swap space for my 2GB ram | 22:23 |
| chickenFuego | jimmy__, yes. | 22:23 |
| ifireball | ARAM: its a "grum drive name", grub has a different way of naming disks then linux (hd0) is hard drive 0 | 22:23 |
| ifireball | ARAM: do you have options to choose from there? | 22:23 |
| ActySofts | K3b complains about the charset being ANSI_X3.4-1968, saying that data projects could get corrupted. How can I fix it? I'm on Ubuntu Gutsy. | 22:23 |
| === head____________ is now known as head_stump | ||
| mitchp | wy it's always dangerous to resize partitions, but in theory yes, it should be safe. I would backup data first jic | 22:23 |
| IamOptimus | anybody know about to make upgrade in ubuntu version breezy 5.10 | 22:23 |
| wy | mitchp: Thanks! | 22:23 |
| chickenFuego | btw jimmy__, are you using eclipse-wtp for jsp/servlets/tomcat? | 22:24 |
| ARAM | ifireball: it has checklist which says participate in package usage survey | 22:24 |
| Invert314 | mitchp, i can't find the network manager script you speak of | 22:24 |
| Phusion | AnthroTechie: eth1 isn't your wifi adaptor I doubt | 22:24 |
| ARAM | ifireball: but in below of device for boot loader installition there is place to change the hd0 | 22:24 |
| Invert314 | mitchp, i am going to make post in my thread which does ls for inside rcd.2 | 22:24 |
| ifireball | go back, there should be a screen for grub somewhere | 22:24 |
| mitchp | Invert314: no scripts with the word networking in it? | 22:24 |
| Invert314 | no | 22:24 |
| ifireball | ARAM: go back, there should be a screen for grub somewhere | 22:24 |
| nosrednaekim | Phusion: alot of Intels are called eth1 | 22:25 |
| jimmy__ | chickenFuego: still errors :( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49218/ I havent done any dev work on this pc and have no other IDEs etc installed | 22:25 |
| Slart | inet: here's what the man page says about this.. "day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)" | 22:25 |
| ifireball | ARAM: you probably don't want it to install grub on (hd0) | 22:25 |
| Phusion | nosrednaekim: oh yeah? hrmm | 22:25 |
| wy | mitchp: Does this command enough for the backup? tar cf /backup.tar . | 22:25 |
| ARAM | ifireball: because i create .boot with the size of 150 i wan to mount boot | 22:25 |

| nosrednaekim | !patience | cocox | 22:25 |
| Invert314 | ah ty mitchp | 22:25 |
| ifireball | ARAM: it has nothing to do with /boot, which. like I said countless times, you DON'T NEED | 22:25 |
| zelda` | Sound Juicer won't recognize the title/other information on music CD's, it just says unknown, lol | 22:25 |

| fluxy | Hello everyone. My once very fast ubuntu installation has become quite sluggish - probably because I didn't shut it down properly. Anyone has any ideas to get it going fast again? Thx... | 22:26 |
| chickenFuego | jimmy__, which ubuntu version do you have? type "cat /etc/apt/sources.list to know the name | 22:26 |
| EtteSB | does anyone know of a music editing/production program? | 22:26 |
| Invert314 | mitchp, there is S40networking | 22:26 |
| ifireball | ARAM: grub is the boot loader that is responsible for starting up the system and loading the most basic parts from the disk | 22:26 |
| chickenFuego | jimmy__, feisty? | 22:26 |
| wy | mitchp: tar preserves permissions, dates etc | 22:26 |
| Slart | fluxy: chech what's running with top or htop | 22:26 |
| Invert314 | so i put an underscore before S40networking | 22:26 |
| Invert314 | ? | 22:26 |
| varsendaggr | hey i am looking for a live workspace switcher please point me in the right direction | 22:27 |
| AnthroTechie | Phusion: your right. . . but I get the same error message if I use eth0, so what do I do? | 22:27 |
| ARAM | ifireball: do you know why i do that because some one told me if i have boot the os is faster because of going to load boot on one partitiona dn the other on other partiton which is faster | 22:27 |
| mitchp | Invert314: yes | 22:27 |
| nosrednaekim | chickenFuego: "lsb_release" is a bit easier method | 22:27 |
| Phusion | AnthroTechie: well eth0 is most likely your ethernet device | 22:27 |
| zelda` | how many kb are in a MB? | 22:27 |

| bryan_w[wkr] | how many kiloBITS are in a megaBYTE? | 22:28 |
| zelda` | thats would be 1024 kb/s lol | 22:28 |
| AnthroTechie | Phusion: sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 | 22:28 |
| Invert314 | gimme 10 minutes to document the change in my forum thread and to reboot | 22:28 |
| Invert314 | and then i will report back here | 22:28 |
| ranok | bryan_w[wkr]: 8*1028 | 22:28 |
| mitchp | Invert314: ok. I'm thinking network-manager will still try ot start, but hopefully I'm wrong, since there's no script for it anywhere. Try to boot now and see what happens | 22:28 |
| ranok | **1024 | 22:28 |
| ARAM | ifireball: there is no grub at all | 22:28 |
| thor | bryan_w[wkr] 8192 kb = 1MB | 22:28 |
| ifireball | ARAM: that is just silly, because its the same physical disk anyway, /boot was invented back in the time where computers had problems working with harddrives bigger then 1G, its not needed today | 22:28 |
| fluxy | Slart: uh thx, but what am I supposed to do :S | 22:28 |
| chickenFuego | ok jimmy__, the critial line in the install/config error is: "* no JDK found - please set JAVA_HOME" | 22:28 |
| AnthroTechie | ifdown: interface ethO not configured | 22:29 |
| ifireball | ARAM: it might be called "boot loader" | 22:29 |
| ranok | and, technically, its mibibyte | 22:29 |
| varsendaggr | thor i am looking for two things a workspace swicher that has more detail than the default gnome and then a window selector that has updated images of the windows in that have been minimizded | 22:29 |

| ranok | **mebibyte | 22:29 |
| ARAM | ifireball: i love linux because of this online help | 22:29 |
| varsendaggr | ala enlightenment | 22:29 |
| zelda` | would 1024 kb/s internet be possible | 22:29 |
| chickenFuego | jimmy__, just do a "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk" | 22:29 |
| mitchp | I'm trying to setup alsa to use my bluetooth headset, but I don't know the phys. address for it. How do I find it? | 22:29 |
| Slart | fluxy: run top in a terminal.. see if there are any processes that are using lots of cpu.. if you're not doing anything you shouldn't be using more than say.. 5-10% | 22:30 |
| EtteSB | i love linux cause of the lack of viruses and "apt-get" :3 | 22:30 |

| ARAM | ifireball: in a place which is type hd0 | 22:31 |
| LjL | !exploit | EgoElf | 22:31 |
| ubotu | EgoElf: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit | 22:31 |
| ARAM | ifireball: that is the only place i can change | 22:31 |
| thor | workdammit you can always download the source and compile it yourself | 22:32 |
| EgoElf | LjL: please dont send me bot-related answers | 22:32 |

| EgoElf | LjL: he didnt do anything, he was banned after being removed off AFTER the exploit was sent | 22:32 |
| workdammit | thor: right but that's too hairy for my skillset - is there a way to get aptitude to do it or do i just wait until a new package comes out? | 22:32 |
| fluxy | Slart: it seems pretty decent, but apps take quite some time to load (longer than before) | 22:32 |
| ifireball | ARAM: w8 == wait; paste "sudo fdisk -l" to pastebin plz | 22:32 |
| EgoElf | LjL: I'm going to repeat myself, please do not send me bot-related replies. | 22:32 |
| Slart | fluxy: hm.. done anything special? installed anything? | 22:33 |
| thor | workdammit the only two ways I know to make it work...compile it yourself or wait til the repo is updated | 22:33 |
| LjL | EgoElf: he didnt do anything, he was banned after being removed off AFTER the exploit was sent <--- that shows you have NOT READ THE FACTOID. | 22:33 |
| ARAM | ifireball: where is past bin? | 22:33 |

| Malachi | khaotik: What's the problem? | 22:50 |
| kbrooks | ubuntuisloved, ok. pick something on which you want to learn about ;-) | 22:51 |
| ifireball | Malachi: vim :P | 22:51 |
| ubuntuisloved | kbrooks: C++ | 22:51 |
| Malachi | khaotik: Try going to System > Administration > Restriced Drivers Manager and see if it's there. | 22:51 |

| khaotik | its there and its enabled | 22:51 |

| ubuntuisloved | Got a quick question for you all is it possible to revert after a update is done using update manager? | 22:53 |
| Ttech | khaotik: did you setup the display drivers correctly? | 22:53 |
| Malachi | kahotik: Well, let's see if the drivers are actually installed. | 22:53 |
| ifireball | ARAM: no, but I don't think it matters for anything, have you got "grub>" yet? | 22:53 |
| ARAM | yes | 22:53 |
| chickenFuego | jimmy__, but you need the "sudo ln -s /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/" on ubuntu for this tutorial to work. | 22:53 |
| khaotik | dont know. my friend installed and had everything workin lovely | 22:53 |

| steph_ | Ok, I'll try to explain my problem (which I don't understand that much). I have 2 network intefaces: one goes to the web, the other to the router. If I ping the router, it says "Destination Host Unreachable". I'm on the same subnet. When I try to admin the router from a M$, everything is well (conclusion: the router works). Do I have to setup something like firewall, conf file or something else ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks | 23:10 |

| ata4ix | or i just can create symlink in /etc/init.d/ ? | 23:11 |
| khaotik | ?? | 23:11 |
| stefano | kazol, a bit, but i don't recomment it, metacity works just fine and there is tons of themes as well, i suppose you already know gnome-look.org? | 23:11 |
| ARAM | ifireball: to unumount these partiton again | 23:11 |
| Pici | !boot | ata4ix | 23:11 |

| Ders | I'll take my question to Mozilla | 23:12 |
| kazol | stefano: Yeah, but I like a particular emerald theme because it has more window controls. Why don't you recommend it? Stability? | 23:12 |
| ARAM | ifireball: oh then it goes to partiton disk windows which means all of the configration has gone | 23:12 |

| ARAM | ifireball: if i can unmount them then i think this problem will be solved | 23:13 |
| stefano | kazol, the product is discontinued, there are no further updates and that means that it's not stable in combination with conpiz-fusion. but if you want to use it anyways, see the ubuntu wiki, there should be an artice on how to install it. you could also try to find a similar theme for metacity | 23:13 |

| kbrooks | UBUNTUISLOVED, i replied. | 23:31 |
| stefano | vincenz, doesnt the installer ask you if you want to write grup to the master boot record (mbr)? | 23:31 |
| wols_ | kbrooks: lspci will tell you | 23:31 |
| vincenz | stefano: what installer? | 23:32 |
| jimmy__ | chickenFuego: yes, after i clicked "finish" on teh create dynamic web project | 23:32 |
| vincenz | stefano: it's a livecd | 23:32 |
| kbrooks | wols_, you hilighted the wrong person | 23:32 |
| skullhead | Odd-rationale: nope lol | 23:32 |
| Odd-rationale | vincenz: If your external hard drive is the only drive attached to your computer, then grub will automatically install in the correct place. | 23:32 |
| chickenFuego | jimmy__, but was is ok just before? tomcat was found?? | 23:32 |
| vincenz | Odd-rationale: when I was installing, it was not, since I was using my old hd to do the install | 23:32 |
| stefano | vincenz, right but i suppose you've clicked the install icon on the desktop, normally it should ask you do do so | 23:32 |
| Beererde | hi. i installed epiphany with apt-get, but i have no binary on my system | 23:33 |
| Beererde | what is wrong? | 23:33 |
| vincenz | stefano: doing that now, I hope it won't repartition or re-mkfs? I've installed -all- the relevant packages already, including gnome | 23:33 |
| KiD_ChAoS | Malachi, hmm. heres what happened. i tried to connecta 42 inch lcd screen to my laptop running ubuntu. i played around with the resolution and now it won't go back to normal on my laptop | 23:33 |

| wols_ | J-E-L-L-0: /etc/init.d/<daemon> restart for example | 23:34 |
| vincenz | stefano: I want to skip all the steps | 23:34 |
| stefano | Beererde, epiphany is a builder dash clone, if you want to install the epiphany web browser the package is named epiphany-browser | 23:34 |
| KiD_ChAoS | Malachi, i can't get a resolution above 1280 X 800 and even so when i do choose 1280 X800 i think it's lying because it doesn't look it | 23:34 |
| wols_ | sjoerd: emu10k1. already shipped with ubuntu | 23:34 |
| Beererde | stefano: aah ok i see :) thanks | 23:34 |
| jimmy__ | chickenFuego: strange, eclipse closed down but was able to re-open and open the .project | 23:34 |
| stefano | vincenz, if you install packages on the live system it doesnt make any difference to the hard drive, you have to take the installer | 23:34 |
| bofh80 | does anyone know of any projects that will grab images off the web from rss or whatever, and change the desktop. ie a proper wallpaper / desktop manager? | 23:35 |

| Beererde | it works now :) | 23:35 |

| vincenz | "Filesystems used b the system (/, /boot, /usr, /var) must be reformatted... | 23:35 |
| vincenz | I did all that work while I had the harddrive externally mounted through chroot | 23:35 |
| stefano | vincenz, well it has to install itself _somewhere_ so it has to repartition the hard drive | 23:35 |
| chickenFuego | jimmy__, you might report a bug to eclipse, ask the expert at #eclipse to know were to do it. | 23:35 |
| bofh80 | ifireball, why do you say that about ftp? | 23:35 |
| Odd-rationale | bofh80: There's something that gets pictures from flickr. | 23:35 |

| bofh80 | Odd-rationale, cool. i'll check it out | 23:36 |
| stefano | vincenz, why do you make it so hard for yourself? | 23:36 |

| vincenz | yes | 23:36 |
| chickenFuego | jimmy__, keep on going. As I said the setup is not that easy. But when you are done, this environment is highly productive! | 23:36 |
| vincenz | I already moved over my /home dir | 23:36 |

| KiD_ChAoS | Malachi, it see's a plug n' play with a resolution of 640 x 480 only | 23:38 |
| wols_ | jacob: install wireless-tools and configure your /etc/network/interfaces | 23:38 |
| stefano | vincenz, okay, the installer should offer you to rezise a partition, so you could resize the partition and make a new one in the empty space, but as always, when reformatting, back up anything on that hard drive for it might be broken and has to be reformatted afterwards. this chroot thing won't work unless you have already repartitioned the hard drive to have a linux partiton | 23:38 |
| bofh80 | ifireball, sure, you'd want to base your webhosting updates with a http front end, sure you'd base it on firefox on internet explorer, ftp is a slim line excellent protocol. http is extremely bloated. seriously. get real. technically you don't know where your coming from, ftp is easy enough to secure. http is a dog | 23:38 |
| khaotik | good looking people. yall rock. gots to reboot | 23:38 |
| kbrooks | bofh80, ummm | 23:39 |
| stefano | Ttech, primary usually, if you don't have a lot of partitions on that drive | 23:39 |
| kbrooks | bofh80, may i kindly pm you? | 23:39 |
| Stormx2 | Ttech: Depends. | 23:39 |
| Malachi | khaotik: Yay! | 23:39 |

| KiD_ChAoS | Malachi, brb | 23:40 |
| Stormx2 | Ttech, heh, sorry. Extended partitions are needed if you have over a certain number of partitions, I can't remember the exact number. ie x primary partitions or (x-1) primary partitions and a logical. Where the swap partition resides won't matter though | 23:40 |
| stefano | vincenz, the command to do so would be "grub-install /dev/hda1" (replace hda1 with the appropreate device of course) | 23:41 |
| wols_ | Stormx2: max number of primaries is 4 | 23:41 |
| skullhead | dos anyone know where to get the drivers for soundblaster cards?? | 23:41 |

| GHOST | entropy here | 23:51 |
| stefano | Eyemean, if you want to use kde software in gnome you have to install all the bloated kde packages. but it works, with slight downsides :-) | 23:52 |

| JonaTh | !alsa | 23:52 |
| 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 | 23:52 |

| Lin1 | need help with Internet sharing | 23:53 |
| Lin1 | please | 23:53 |
| _Sebulba_ | I'd agree with stefano there, try to sticj where possible to gtk+ apps with gnome and qt apps with kde.....sometimes it's not always possible, just a rule of thumb if all else is equal | 23:53 |
| stefano | Eyemean, kino is pretty good though, you might want to ignore that you have to install kdelibs to use it | 23:54 |
| _Sebulba_ | it'll help avoid bloat | 23:54 |
| chickenFuego | oh jimmy__ , an easy trick to recover from a crash from eclipse might be to: 1) delete de .eclipse directory in your home and 2) delete the workspace directory in your home. You don t loose anything at this point, as you just installed it? or do you have already code in ther? | 23:54 |
| vincenz | stefano: No. So... I had my old hd with ubuntu. I bought a new hd. I put this new hd in a usb-case, partitioned it, formatted it, debootstrapped it, chrooted to it, aptitide installed the packages I want, moved over my data files. Then I took the hd in the usb-case and put it in my laptop and booted with a livecd | 23:54 |
| SpookyET | My Ubuntu Desktop looks so good. | 23:54 |
| Eyemean | stefano, do u mean wen it install kino to deny installing kdelibs? | 23:54 |
| MacTheMad | Linl: Yeah, me too... the clear, concise instructions I found at http://ubuntuforums.org are anything but | 23:55 |
| Lin1 | FROM 1097 PEOPLE, NO ONE CAN HELP MY WITH MY PROBLEM???????????? | 23:55 |
| stefano | Eyemean, no you have to install them. that's the downside. | 23:55 |
| Pici | !caps | Lin1 | 23:55 |
| ubotu | Lin1: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 23:55 |
| Eyemean | stefano, oh right, ok, guess i will try messing around with cinerella then, lol | 23:55 |
| _Sebulba_ | Eyemean, anything your package manager tells u it needs when u try to install a package, say YES to | 23:56 |
| stefano | vincenz, uh, i'm not sure if i understand it but, why don't you just put the new drive in your computer and install ubuntu normally? | 23:56 |
| JonaTh | I'm having soundproblems in 7.10 | 23:56 |
| _Sebulba_ | these are dependencies | 23:56 |
| Eyemean | _sebulba_sure thing, thanks | 23:56 |
| MacTheMad | fed up... try again tomorrow... later guys | 23:56 |
| Lin1 | none from the topics at ubunntuforums.org help | 23:56 |
| stefano | Eyemean, cinerella is better then kino but more complicated. | 23:56 |

| JonaTh | E: Package alsa-utils has no installation candidate | 23:56 |
| vincenz | Does anyone else know how to make a hd where I installed ubuntu on bootable? | 23:56 |
| _Sebulba_ | linux is excellent at keeping track of what u already have and what u need | 23:56 |
| NotSoGutsy | is there any program I can use to identify what codec was used to create audio files ? | 23:56 |
| JonaTh | @ sudo apt-get install alsa-utils | 23:56 |

| stefano | it has the ability to write the mbr built in | 23:57 |
| Slart | Lin1: that one didn't work? | 23:57 |
| Eyemean | stefano, yes i noticed its complicated, but heard it one of the best, so i went round in circles to get it working in ubuntu with alot of peoples help | 23:57 |

| Neff | Hi people, I need your help, I'm trying to install an integrated webcam in my DELL SP2208WFP according to lsusb it's an OmniVision Tecnologies Inc. component. I tried to install the webcam by compiling the ov51x-jpeg driver (following this howto: http://www.rastageeks.org/ov51x-jpeg/index.php/Main_Page) but it doesn't work... can you please help me? | 23:58 |
| Ubunto | hi | 23:58 |
| Slart | Neff: doesn't work? any error messages? | 23:59 |
| Ubunto | can any one please help me how can i install my graphic card | 23:59 |
| stefano | seqizz, i don't think that's possible. but if you need to reset your bios, theres normally a battery at your mainboard, if you remove it, power up the system, power down again put it back in and start the system again your bios should be set to factory settings | 23:59 |
| RD579 | I have a problem with Pidgin. When I type my chat bounces up and down but if I continued to an additional line it does not bounce. It works fine but the bouncing is terribly distrcting and driving me bonkers. | 23:59 |
