| olli | te_ the cards in that list are not supported anymore and you need the legacy driver | 00:00 |

| etjhnet | ompaul: :) | 00:00 |
| demonspork | butcherbird, I have another Ubuntu partition, the one I am currently in | 00:00 |
| etjhnet | You get a lot of people suggesting that for unhelpful reasons? | 00:00 |
| Shpook | Last question: Would I be okay installing Feisty then upgrading to Gutsy, or is it better to download Gutsy and install? | 00:00 |
| demonspork | butcherbird, and I have already fsck'd it. is there any way to get fsck to do a more thorough check, because it didn't find anything on the first go around | 00:01 |
| gluonman | Shpook, just downloading gutsy is less work, but either way is fine. | 00:01 |
| aidy | hi | 00:01 |
| te_ | olli: Ok, I'm downloading it now. Tnx | 00:01 |
| aidy | i've got a problem | 00:01 |
| etjhnet | How do you get ubuntu's floppy disk handling to autodismount upon physical eject? I want ejecting the disk in hardware to dismount the floppy | 00:01 |
| te_ | Just had to convince myself it was the right one. | 00:01 |
| aidy | sometimes when i close a tab with playing flash video in epiphany, the whole x server crashes | 00:02 |
| te_ | olli: Kinda thick headed. (previous slackware user here) | 00:02 |
| olli | te_ HTH and thanks a lot for your assistance !!! I would have never found that mistiake | 00:02 |
| Shpook | Gluonman: Thank you. I'm sort of limited on time, and I have a Feisty CD laying around. Thanks again! | 00:02 |
| gluonman | Shpook, no prob. | 00:02 |
| jeff__ | can someone help me hear sound through this laptop? | 00:03 |
| etjhnet | no, they have to help me with my floppy issues first | 00:03 |
| butcherbird | !sound | jeff__ | 00:03 |
| ubotu | jeff__: 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 | 00:04 |
| te_ | olli: Yea, well, grub uses hd0 for hda and same with partition numbers. So (hd0,0)=hda1 and it follows that (hd0,7)=hda6 | 00:04 |
| ompaul | etjhnet, not the way gnu/linux works it would be nice - the only way it works is if you use mtools but once you mount it you got to umount it | 00:05 |
| timewriter | anyone can tell me how to add another os on grub ? | 00:05 |
| te_ | Ok, thanks all, gotta run. | 00:05 |
| butcherbird | gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst is the manual way | 00:05 |
| te_ | olli: Tnx agn | 00:05 |
| butcherbird | timewriter: ^ | 00:05 |
| xnor | timewriter: chain loading? | 00:05 |
| johnficca | how do I get ndiswrapper to load on boot? | 00:05 |
| timewriter | i installed another os on a different HDD | 00:05 |
| scguy318 | johnficca: add ndiswrapper to your /etc/modules | 00:05 |
| olli | te_: no problem. thank you! | 00:05 |
| scguy318 | johnficca: gksudo gedit /etc/modules to open it up | 00:05 |
| timewriter | and i want to be able to choose it too when boot loads | 00:05 |
| torrent3 | Hi, can someone help me install the udf 2.5 filesystem patch for Gutsy? | 00:05 |
| johnficca | scguy318: thanks | 00:06 |
| sharyari | hello | 00:06 |
| etjhnet | ompaul: What do you mean? | 00:06 |
| jeff__ | ubotu, butcherbird. thanks ALSA was selected.. I will keep reading | 00:07 |
| timewriter | what if i boot ubuntu from cd , and reinstall grub ? | 00:07 |
| ompaul | etjhnet, it ain't going to be automagic in any way I have ever used gnu/linux - you can use a thing called mtools to do it without mounting | 00:07 |
| timewriter | it will work ? | 00:07 |
| etjhnet | what about playing with fstab? | 00:07 |
| ompaul | etjhnet, well it mounts it but ... | 00:07 |
| timewriter | im too lame for that | 00:07 |
| johnficca | ok another problem that I am having is when I boot, it won't boot tell I press ctrl + alt + f1 | 00:07 |
| timewriter | i might damage everything | 00:07 |
| Elly | I'm having an odd error when using my DVD drive. Whenever I try to play a DVD with mplayer, it hangs for a while, then spits out "a52: CRC check failed!" many times. Looking at dmesg while trying to play a DVD reveals this: "[ 1231.840000] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 6031144" (many times, with different sector numbers each time) | 00:07 |
| larsemil | is it possible to downgrade wine from 0.9.46 to 0.9.45 or do i have to compile it then? | 00:07 |
| timewriter | Elly , the dvd is scratched | 00:08 |
| ompaul | etjhnet, that is only for what you mount and how you mount it - it has no extended functionality like you are looking for | 00:08 |
| sparr | installing flashplugin-nonfree with a downloaded copy of the tarball (v115), it installs v48 (the version it would download if i let it). whats up with that? | 00:08 |
| Elly | timewriter: no it's not; it plays perfectly in a DVD player and another machine | 00:08 |
| EgonStork | why does Ubuntu block the kernel bootup messages with a graphical splash screen ? What happens if I compile a new kernel and it fails and then I can't see where or how exactly it fails because of the graphical splash screen ? | 00:08 |
| larsemil | Elly: or could be copy proteted - then it did not run in my ubuntu | 00:08 |
| johnficca | it just sits with a black screen tell I press ctrl + Alt + f1 | 00:08 |
| timewriter | hm | 00:08 |
| timewriter | then its a protection i guess | 00:08 |
| xnor | Elly: install libdvdcss2 | 00:08 |
| scguy318 | Elly: probably because the other DVD player ignores the error | 00:08 |
| Elly | xnor: I'll try that | 00:08 |
| scguy318 | !dvd | Elly | 00:08 |
| ubotu | Elly: 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 | 00:08 |
| johnficca | I am using ubuntu gutsy if anyone would like to know | 00:09 |
| EgonStork | !Medibuntu | 00:09 |
| ubotu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 00:09 |
| xnor | how does gutsy include it by default then? | 00:09 |
| xnor | if it's for legal reasons | 00:09 |
| timewriter | stupid hdd makes a weird noise | 00:10 |
| timewriter | it drives me insane | 00:10 |
| xnor | timewriter: could be getting ready to go | 00:10 |
| GMoonit | howdy what is the command to go up one directory in the terminal ? | 00:10 |
| timewriter | its just a strange vibration | 00:10 |
| timewriter | like a pulsation | 00:10 |
| xnor | timewriter: I'm happy now, flash hdd | 00:11 |
| timewriter | i have 4 | 00:11 |
| timewriter | which ione is ? | 00:11 |
| scguy318 | xnor: it doesn't include libdvdcss2 by default | 00:11 |
| torrent3 | Will a patch for kernel 2.6.16 for for Gutsy? | 00:11 |
| timewriter | one* | 00:11 |
| Elly | aha! DVDs work perfectly now :) | 00:11 |
| Elly | thank you all! | 00:11 |
| scguy318 | xnor: perhaps you were thinking libdvdread3? | 00:11 |
| Cereal | Is there a way to kill a process through either a shellscript or the terminal? | 00:11 |
| jmg | hi all | 00:11 |
| timewriter | of course Cereal | 00:11 |
| scguy318 | Cereal: kill PID | 00:11 |
| linxeh | Cereal: kill | 00:11 |
| torrent3 | Will a patch for kernel 2.6.16 work for Gutsy? | 00:11 |
| === [1]akhilesh is now known as akhilesh | ||
| GMoonit | lol... i had a very simple question didn't i? | 00:12 |
| rsk | torrent3: most likely not | 00:12 |
| jmg | is it possible to run the livecd on a headless box using vnc? | 00:12 |
| Cereal | Thanks guys :D | 00:12 |
| timewriter | as in certain cults , its possible to kill a daemon , if you know its tru name :) | 00:12 |
| jarlod | if you don't have the pid, pkill <process name> | 00:12 |
| wols_ | jmg: possible yes, but I doubt you can use the livecd as downloaded from ubuntu.com | 00:12 |
| Cereal | scguy318: so it would be "kill PID firefox-bin"? | 00:12 |
| xnor | scguy318: hmm, was looking at a gutsy install where I just checkinstalled it or something | 00:12 |
| johnficca | I get no boot screen when I boot and nothing will happen until I press ctrl + alt + f1, then it will start the boot in text mode then all is ok...is there a way to fix this? | 00:12 |
| KnickLighter | Can anyone help me with my VPN server? | 00:12 |
| xnor | scguy318: does libdvdread3 work properly with vlc? | 00:13 |
| jarlod | pkill firefox | 00:13 |
| KnickLighter | I pasted my question 2 times | 00:13 |
| KnickLighter | but here it goes again; | 00:13 |
| KnickLighter | Hi; I'm currently having problems with my VPN server. It allows me to connect and I can connect to the server itself inside the VPN, but it won't let me connect outside the box, as example google.com.. Anyone knows what could be the problem? Some config setting or firewall? | 00:13 |
| plux | a | 00:13 |
| torrent3 | rsk: What about for 2.6.22-rc4? | 00:13 |
| rsk | torrent3: that's about the same | 00:13 |
| torrent3 | :( | 00:14 |
| Cereal | Hmm "kill pid firefox-bin" doesn't seem to kill the process. Am I doing something wrong? | 00:14 |
| rsk | torrent3: you will most likely be required to redo the patch | 00:14 |
| lukigno | ciao | 00:14 |
| rsk | torrent3: what is the patch? | 00:14 |
| bruenig | killall firefox-bin | 00:14 |
| scguy318 | Cereal: kill takes a PID | 00:14 |
| torrent3 | rsk: UDF 2.5 | 00:14 |
| xnor | Cereal: "kill PID" where pid is of firefox-bin | 00:14 |
| lukigno | !list | 00:14 |
| ubotu | I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 00:14 |
| linxeh | Cereal: substitute PID for the process id. use pkill if you dont know it | 00:14 |
| xnor | Cereal: or just killall firefox-bin | 00:14 |
| rsk | torrent3: dont know what that is .. | 00:14 |
| Cereal | Bruenig: Thanks :) | 00:14 |
| butcherbird | Cereal: or pkill firefox-bin | 00:14 |
| rsk | sorry | 00:14 |
| Cereal | Thanks a lot :D | 00:14 |
| butcherbird | or xkill ftw | 00:14 |
| torrent3 | rsk: Filesystem for Blu-ray discs | 00:14 |
| rsk | aha. | 00:14 |
| linxeh | butcherbird: if you have X :) | 00:14 |
| rsk | torrent3: isn't it included in the latest kernel? | 00:14 |
| torrent3 | rsk: I don't know | 00:15 |
| Cereal | Thanks a lot everyone ^ ^ | 00:15 |
| xnor | linxeh: who doesn't who is running FF? | 00:15 |
| rsk | ok i would chek that out | 00:15 |
| rsk | before trying to patch | 00:15 |
| torrent3 | rsk: I didn't find anything about it, and nobody seems to know | 00:15 |
| linxeh | xnor: heh good point :) | 00:15 |
| rsk | torrent3: easist is to download latest from git and try make menuconfig and see if it's there | 00:16 |
| torrent3 | rsk: git? | 00:16 |
| Cereal | What is it that I have to write in order to run a gedit file as a "program"? Isn't it chmod -x? or something like that? | 00:16 |
| rsk | torrent3: bah. you don't know what git is? | 00:16 |
| rsk | torrent3: chek wikipedia or something | 00:16 |
| torrent3 | Cereal: chmod +x <filename> | 00:16 |
| Cereal | torrent3: Thanks :D | 00:16 |
| etjhnet | well right now, if you go to "Computer" and click on floppy, it mounts it but navigates to the root dir which confuses the user | 00:17 |
| torrent3 | rsk: OKay, I see. So Ubuntu comes with git? | 00:18 |
| johnficca | what is the name of the program that helps you change some of the boot options like screen size and boot theme? | 00:18 |
| rsk | yes if you install it | 00:18 |
| johnficca | is it like startup | 00:18 |
| johnficca | or | 00:18 |
| johnficca | bootup | 00:18 |
| etjhnet | Can it at least automatically go to the floppy dir it creates? | 00:18 |
| Cereal | Okay, so I wrote my "script" (I think it's called a shellscript or something) containing the line: killall firefox-bin. I have chmod -x'et it. But now I want it to lie on my taskbar so I can just click it and it kills firefox. How do I do that? :) | 00:18 |
| johnficca | startupmanager thats it | 00:19 |
| sakuramboo | okay, so i rebuilt both libgpod and amarok and my ipod still doesnt show the songs i imported, am i missing something? | 00:19 |
| {Nathan} | I mount my external HD with user and rw in fstab and it works fine, but after a little bit it suddenly switches the whole thing to read-only (for me and if I am root). Any ideas why it does this? | 00:19 |
| scguy318 | Cereal: create a launcher that does killall firefox-bin | 00:19 |
| Cereal | scguy318: How do I do that? :) | 00:20 |
| torrent3 | rsk: Which package do I install to get git? There're many of them listed | 00:20 |
| rsk | git core i think | 00:20 |
| ketrox | torrent3, cogito too i think | 00:20 |
| scguy318 | Cereal: right click, Add to Panel, then Custom Application Launcher | 00:20 |
| Cereal | scguy318: Thanks a lot :) | 00:21 |
| torrent3 | which is better> cogito or git-core/ | 00:21 |
| aidy | when i close a tab with playing flash video in epiphany, the whole x server crashes anyone got a clue? | 00:22 |
| jeff__ | I have a bunch of issues with a really new install... anyone care to help? | 00:22 |
| jeff__ | no sound, flash isnt working, and well... thats really it... but they are two huge things to me | 00:23 |
| glycerine | jeff___ what sound card? | 00:23 |
| scguy318 | jeff___: for flash, message ubotu with flash | 00:23 |
| jeff__ | glycerine, I really dont know... I dont know what this thing has its a sony vaio laptop | 00:23 |
| scguy318 | jeff__: for sound see !alsa | 00:23 |
| jeff__ | alsa is selected | 00:23 |
| butcherbird | !flashissue | jeff__ | 00:23 |
| ubotu | jeff__: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 00:23 |

| invisi | Does anybody know if it is possible to set up a local Ubuntu package repository? I have several machines running Kubuntu and one machine which is always on, and could serve packages to the other machines. | 00:25 |

| demonspork | whenever I select my Ubuntu Gutsy from the GRUB menu it goes to a screen saying that it 'cannot mount the selected partition.' I have run fsck on the partition and it found no errors. What can I do? it happened after a power outage. | 00:28 |
| sYn_0n3 | i have 2 hard drives 1 ubuntu 1 xp i have grub install as mbr on my ubuntu drive and also set to bios to boot to that drive 1st | 00:28 |
| nickrud | jamescarr, you probably want compizconfig-settings-manager , and it'll show up in the prefs menu | 00:28 |
| jamescarr | not there | 00:28 |
| sYn_0n3 | but when i go to boot xp drive i get an error | 00:28 |
| Jangari | error 17, sYn_0n3? | 00:29 |
| sYn_0n3 | yes i believe it is | 00:29 |
| etjhnet | Is it possible in ubuntu to "umount on eject" for floppies? | 00:29 |
| Jangari | it means the grub loader is pointing to the wrong partition | 00:29 |
| nickrud | jamescarr, advanced desktop effects settings ? | 00:29 |
| invisi | nickrud, unfortunately that URL did not provide any information regarding what I want, only how the Ubuntu repository works. | 00:29 |
| glycerine | is it possible to clone a UUID for a toasted drive? LVM drive fried, ddrescue'ing it currently | 00:29 |

| invisi | What I want is basically to mirror the full repository onto my server at home. | 00:29 |
| sYn_0n3 | when i list partitions mine says hd0,0 for ubuntu | 00:30 |
| invisi | And I wanted to know if that was possible. | 00:30 |
| sYn_0n3 | what should i put for xp ? | 00:30 |
| torrent3 | rsk: Okay so I've installed git.. How do I install my patch using it? | 00:30 |
| Jangari | load ubuntu and run gparted, find out which specific partition xp is on, and edit the menu.lst | 00:30 |
| etjhnet | Does anyone experience that when you go to "computer" and click floppy, it mounts the floppy but navigates to the root dir? | 00:30 |
| nickrud | invisi, huh, there used to be stuff, only thing left is my personal one. A sec | 00:30 |
| jamescarr | what is the shortcut to switch to another desktop? | 00:30 |
| jamescarr | isnt there a key combo? | 00:30 |
| etjhnet | Why doesn't it naviagate to the floppy's directory? | 00:30 |
| sYn_0n3 | what should i put as the drive? | 00:30 |
| ASD7A | has anyone installed fuppes? | 00:30 |
| sYn_0n3 | hd0,1? | 00:30 |
| invisi | glycerine, yes you can pvcreate --uuid if you know the UUID of the toasted disk. | 00:30 |
| glycerine | jamescarr ctrl+arrow key i think | 00:30 |
| Jangari | alt+ctrl+left/right/up/down/1/2/3/4 | 00:30 |
| ASD7A | I am looking for the dev package of ffmpeg | 00:30 |
| glycerine | or ctrl+shift+arrow | 00:30 |
| glycerine | there we go :) | 00:31 |
| stan-k | jamescarr: CTRL+ALT+[arrow key] | 00:31 |
| Jangari | sYn_0n3, I take it you're in ubuntu now? | 00:31 |
| sYn_0n3 | yes sir | 00:31 |
| glycerine | invisi Thanks. I have read that, but won't that destroy the dd'd data? | 00:31 |
| jamescarr | stan-k, nope | 00:31 |
| Jangari | have you got gparted? | 00:31 |
| sYn_0n3 | yes | 00:31 |
| magick211 | When i search for available networks with my onboard wifi card im unable to connect unless i manually set up the connection, anyone else had this problem before? | 00:31 |
| sYn_0n3 | its open already | 00:31 |
| torrent3 | how do I install udf 2.5 patch with git-core? | 00:32 |
| Jangari | open it and check which partition has xp | 00:32 |
| Jangari | ah | 00:32 |
| magick211 | available networks show up but im unable to connect | 00:32 |
| stan-k | jamescarr: yep :) it does work for me_ | 00:32 |

| zetheroo | I am trying to access my shared docs in my VirtualBox Windows XP machine.... and I used to be able to do it with no hassle.... but now I get this error : The folder contents could not be displayed. Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: zeth-xp". ------ Anyone? | 00:32 |
| invisi | glycerine, pvcreate overwrites a megabyte or something in the beginning of the disk. I'm not quite sure if it's that much however. | 00:32 |
| Jangari | it's the entire hard disk? no partitions? | 00:32 |
| sYn_0n3 | entire disk no partitions | 00:32 |
| nickrud | invisi, http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror , also look into apt-got , debpartial-mirror, apt-proxy | 00:32 |
| invisi | glycerine, it does not wipe any data on the disk, except for some few blocks. man pvcreate will probably tell you how much it overwrites. | 00:32 |
| Jangari | hmm, then I don't know about that, it should have been easy enough to load using bios instead of grub | 00:33 |
| invisi | nickrud, that looks more like it (from the URL) - I'll look into it. Thanks! | 00:33 |

| torrent3 | how do I install udf 2.5 patch with git-core? | 00:33 |
| sYn_0n3 | how do i paste?? | 00:33 |
| glycerine | invisi gotcha. I'll give it a shot, always have the bad disk to reclone :) | 00:33 |
| nickrud | !paste | sYn_0n3 | 00:33 |
| ubotu | sYn_0n3: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 00:33 |
| torrent3 | rsk are you still there | 00:34 |
| Jangari | perhaps that entry in the grub menu should read " | 00:34 |
| Jangari | oops | 00:34 |
| etjhnet | what's the opposite of lazy unmount | 00:34 |
| Jangari | "root (hd0)" | 00:34 |
| jamescarr | stan-k: I have compiz installed... mnaybe that is causing issues? | 00:34 |
| sYn_0n3 | Jangari thats my entry in grub | 00:34 |
| Josspyker | magick211:edit network interfaces | 00:34 |
| sYn_0n3 | hmm i havent tried that | 00:35 |
| Jangari | yeah, i know, but instead of (sdb,0) perhaps it should be (hd0) | 00:35 |
| zetheroo | anyone? | 00:35 |
| sYn_0n3 | like this root (hd0,0)? | 00:35 |
| stan-k | jamescarr: i don't think so, i have compiz installed, too. try modifying settings in compiz | 00:35 |
| torrent3 | how do I install udf 2.5 patch with git-core? | 00:35 |
| sYn_0n3 | does it make sense to use the rootnoverify option? | 00:35 |
| Jangari | but you shouldn't take my word for it, i had a similar problem two days ago but on a single hard drive, don't know how it would work on a single drive | 00:36 |
| pgjensen | how do i find out the uid of a hdd so my scripts can reference that instead of /dev/sda (since it could be sdb if i have a usb hdd plugged in) | 00:36 |
| sYn_0n3 | let me try that... | 00:36 |
| sYn_0n3 | brb | 00:36 |
| torrent3 | how do i install udf 2.5 patch for gutsy | 00:36 |
| nickrud | pgjensen, ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -l | 00:36 |
| pgjensen | there ya go | 00:36 |
| pgjensen | thx | 00:36 |
| Jangari | but if there are no partitions, it should probably be (hd0), anyone agree? | 00:36 |
| te_ | My processor is AMD64 3000+ 1Ghz (as reported in /proc/cpuinfo), and I'm running 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SNP QUESTION: Should I try to install 64bit kernel? Any advantage to it? or...? [advice requested]... | 00:37 |
| * nickrud hides from the grub questions | 00:37 | |
| Jangari | ha | 00:37 |
| pgjensen | if you don't want software to work yes te_ :) | 00:37 |
| pgjensen | don't waste your time | 00:37 |
| scguy318 | te_: most software other than proprietary stuff works | 00:38 |
| jeff__ | man... I really like linux when its all done... but it is a pain to get going | 00:38 |
| stan-k | jamescarr: for example, in CompizConfig Settings Manager in Rotate Cube (i use cube) under Actions tab - rotate left, rotate right... | 00:38 |
| jeff__ | sometimes. | 00:38 |
| nickrud | te_, if you're doing serious video or audio editing, or number crunching (with software that takes advantage of 64 bits) yes,otherwise no real reason | 00:38 |
| Jangari | anyone have any idea why a single machine runs xp at lightning speed, speeds i've never witnessed on any windows installation ever, while gutsy on the same machine is running at a snail's pace? | 00:38 |
| pgjensen | driver issues | 00:38 |
| pgjensen | udma not enabled? | 00:38 |
| Jangari | is that directed to me, pgjensen? | 00:39 |
| torrent3 | how do i install udf 2.5 patch for gutsy | 00:39 |
| RequinB4 | can anyone recommend an audio extractor for .flv files | 00:39 |
| pgjensen | yes Jangari | 00:39 |
| torrent3 | i installed git-core | 00:39 |
| torrent3 | now what | 00:39 |
| bruenig | Jangari, ubuntu is known to run a bit sluggishly | 00:39 |
| Jangari | udma, eh? | 00:39 |
| pgjensen | hdparm and make sure it's enabled | 00:39 |
| jamescarr | stan-k, there is no actions tab (I use cube too) | 00:39 |
| Jangari | but bruenig, i've been running ubuntu on several machines, and this is the fastest machine on paper, | 00:39 |
| nickrud | torrent3, you probably won't get much support here for custom kernels | 00:39 |
| te_ | nickrud: Ok, won't bother with it. Thanks. | 00:39 |
| Jangari | all other machines run ubuntu without any performance problems, | 00:39 |
| Jangari | is that the command, pgjensen? hdparm? | 00:40 |
| stan-k | jamescarr: em... there is always the Actions tab... | 00:40 |
| etjhnet | This is the bug I need fixed:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/66869 | 00:40 |
| stan-k | jamescarr: are you sure you don't have it? | 00:40 |
| torrent3 | nickrud im not looking for kernel | 00:40 |
| xshadowfire | hi, i think i messed up my x windows server, can someone help me | 00:40 |
| jamescarr | the thing I am using is called gnome compiz preferences | 00:40 |
| etjhnet | Has it been yet? | 00:40 |
| torrent3 | im looking for udf 2.5 | 00:40 |
| etjhnet | Read the last comment | 00:40 |
| pgjensen | yeah, man hdparm | 00:40 |
| demonspork | whenever I select my Ubuntu Gutsy from the GRUB menu it goes to a screen saying that it 'cannot mount the selected partition.' I have run fsck on the partition and it found no errors. What can I do? it happened after a power outage. | 00:40 |
| stan-k | jamescarr: alright... | 00:40 |
| nickrud | torrent3, you're patching the kernel, no? | 00:41 |
| torrent3 | for gutsy kernel | 00:41 |
| torrent3 | nickrud yeah | 00:41 |
| stan-k | jamescarr: i think you need to install CompizConfig Settings manager then | 00:41 |
| Jangari | is there a forum on error 17? | 00:41 |
| glycerine | demonspork UUID changed? | 00:41 |
| Jangari | because it seems heaps of people would benefit | 00:41 |
| Sier | i'm happy :) | 00:41 |
| te_ | Question #2: I'm trying to run NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run and it tells me that I need libc | 00:41 |
| dn4 | anyone here have experience making bifilar coils? | 00:41 |
| te_ | "libc header files" | 00:42 |
| te_ | What needs to be installed? | 00:42 |
| glycerine | te_ install build-essential? | 00:42 |
| angelsofdust | check out this convo -> http://www.cybertown.com/cgi-bin/jail/place?plc=jail&ac=place&ID=0000000000000033&force=s | 00:42 |
| etjhnet | Hello? | 00:42 |
| te_ | glycerine: Thanks | 00:42 |
| nickrud | te_, you should use the nvidia stuff in the restricted-manager , but you can install build-essential to get past that problem | 00:42 |
| === blahjust is now known as oddalot | ||
| angelsofdust | they talking about ubuntu vs suse | 00:42 |
| jamescarr | stan-k, package name? | 00:42 |
| xshadowfire | hi, i think i messed up my x windows server, can someone help me | 00:42 |
| torrent3 | okay.. atleast someone tell me if udf 2.5 will work with the next ubuntu | 00:42 |
| stan-k | jamescarr: in Synaptic search for compizconfig-settings-manager | 00:42 |
| torrent3 | if you dont wanna help me patch, thats fine | 00:43 |
| Jangari | oh, another thing, how do i set up an automount for a hdd partition? | 00:43 |
| Jangari | ntfs | 00:43 |
| glycerine | te_ a guess only :) that plus the headers for your kernel. Also search synaptic for libc if all else fails :) | 00:43 |
| ipsemet | i keep getting hda: drive not ready for command in dmesg, what does this mean | 00:43 |
| oddalot | when i double click on a title bar my windows don't maximize or minimize...it just slides up like a projector screen kinda (or a mac window) anyone know where this option is to change it? | 00:43 |
| EgonStork | Jangari: edit /etc/fstab I guess | 00:43 |
| glycerine | Jangari put it in your fstab | 00:44 |
| Jangari | does fstab need sudo? | 00:44 |
| nickrud | oddalot, system-prefs-windows | 00:44 |
| glycerine | jangari yep | 00:44 |
| pgjensen | oddalot: it will be in the settings for gnome or kde or whatever window manager you use | 00:44 |
| jamescarr | stan-k, no results :( | 00:44 |
| stan-k | jamescarr: still no Actions tab? | 00:44 |
| Jangari | so entering the line sudo mount ntfs.... into fstab should do it? | 00:44 |
| ipsemet | can someone help me "i keep getting hda: drive not ready for command in dmesg, what does this mean" | 00:45 |
| xshadowfire | hi, i think i messed up my x windows system, can someone help me | 00:45 |
| jamescarr | stan-k, no.. let me take a screenshot and post it | 00:45 |
| nickrud | !fstab | Jangari | 00:45 |
| ubotu | Jangari: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 00:45 |
| jamescarr | might help better | 00:45 |
| Jangari | ta nickrud | 00:45 |
| glycerine | Jangari no, well there you go, for ubotu :) | 00:45 |
| glycerine | from* | 00:45 |
| oddalot | thanks | 00:45 |
| ipsemet | xshadowfire: dplg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:45 |
| EgonStork | Jangari: nope... read `man fstab' | 00:45 |
| Jangari | okay, sure, | 00:45 |
| demonspork | glycerine, is that common? | 00:45 |
| pgjensen | 5tb partition... xfs, ext3, or jfs? | 00:45 |
| jamescarr | stan-k, nvm... got it working | 00:46 |
| ipsemet | xshadowfire: dpkg that is | 00:46 |
| demonspork | glycerine, how do I check if that is the case? | 00:46 |
| pgjensen | storage, performance doesn't matter | 00:46 |
| jamescarr | weird though.. there was no action tab | 00:46 |
| pgjensen | stability matters | 00:46 |
| stan-k | jamescarr: :) | 00:46 |
| nickrud | lol, Jangari I nearly never mention man, but they often are the very best resourse | 00:46 |
| Jangari | at work i have to mount a network server, and fstab on that doesn't appear to work, although this is just a local hdd | 00:46 |
| pwnt | hey, using "ftp" how to get a whole folder, and all sub-folders inside it including their files too.! is there anyway? | 00:46 |
| jamescarr | but my problem was I only had one viewport defined | 00:46 |
| ipsemet | can someone help me"i keep getting hda: drive not ready for command in dmesg, what does this mean" | 00:46 |
| stan-k | alright | 00:46 |
| torrent3 | is it possible to downgrade from gutsy to fiesty? | 00:46 |
| pwnt | torrent3: why would you do that | 00:47 |
| Funkydan5 | Can someone help me with Dell? | 00:47 |
| oddalot | ok, i changed it in the windows option...under system->preferences, and it still just rolls up instead of maximizing or minimizing | 00:47 |
| torrent3 | pwnt i cant find a udf 2.5 patch for gutsy | 00:47 |
| Zombie | ipsemet: That looks like a failing Hard drive. | 00:47 |
| Funkydan5 | They say linux but I am not, plus there is no Dell IRC | 00:47 |
| glycerine | demonspork happened to me in fstab, check what's there vs what's in ls /dev/disk/by-uuid | 00:47 |
| pgjensen | oddalot: did you hit apply? | 00:47 |
| oddalot | yes | 00:47 |
| pgjensen | try and restart x too | 00:47 |
| oddalot | well...there is no apply | 00:47 |
| pgjensen | if that doesn't work it should be on the forums | 00:47 |
| oddalot | and it was set to maximize by default | 00:47 |
| glycerine | demonspork if that's still congruent, check what's in the menu..lst | 00:47 |
| oddalot | it says titlebar action | 00:48 |
| ipsemet | i thought so, is it posssible that a corrupted harddrive can somehow damage another harddrive | 00:48 |
| oddalot | let me restart | 00:48 |
| oddalot | and see if that fixes it | 00:48 |
| oddalot | bbiab | 00:48 |
| pgjensen | no ipsemet | 00:48 |
| Funkydan5 | Can someone please help me with Dell problems? | 00:48 |
| silverhawk_184 | can someone help me install beryl, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49640/ | 00:48 |
| torrent3 | pwnt is it possible? or do i just copy the kernel folder from another system that has fiesty installed? | 00:48 |
| pgjensen | describe your problem and someone just might Funkydan5 | 00:48 |
| Funkydan5 | Ok thanks, ok.. | 00:49 |
| ipsemet | thanks | 00:49 |
| pwnt | torrent3: I'm not sure, I was just curious about why would you go back to fiesty! and you have a good reason to. but sorry I don't know. | 00:49 |

| torrent3 | how do i install udf 2.5 patch for gutsy | 00:51 |
| Funkydan5 | I restarted my computer because an install was acting slow to the compuer, Service Pack, not noticing its importance I exited out and restarted, my compuer does not let me load because it says it is missing the /system32/drivers/ftps (i think) and I tried using the CDs, like reinstall and drivers CD, but nothing happens, it starts up (i can hear i) but nothing, it just is quiet. I tried | 00:51 |
| Funkydan5 | making it a slave, ut that does not work | 00:51 |
| pwnt | using ftp a_server.com I'm trying to put a whole directory into my other server with all sub-folders in it and files in those all folders too. I tried using "mplug ~/foldername" it says that | 00:51 |
| * Funkydan5 rests hands lol | 00:51 | |
| xshadowfire | ipsemet: thanks, it works again | 00:51 |
| pwnt | /home/user/folder : not a plain file. | 00:51 |
| pwnt | what should I do to be able to do this | 00:51 |
| nickrud | Funkydan5, for windows, you're more likely to find competent help in #windows | 00:52 |
| Funkydan5 | wow... I did not know there was one | 00:52 |

| enkidu_ak | Good evening | 00:53 |
| pgjensen | google should start indexing irc :) | 00:53 |
| glycerine | pgjensen they do :/ | 00:54 |
| pgjensen | oh heh | 00:54 |
| Jangari | what's the default root password? | 00:54 |
| glycerine | pgjensen server logs :) | 00:54 |
| ompaul | !root | Jangari | 00:54 |
| glycerine | Jangari isn't one, set it by sudo passwd | 00:54 |
| ubotu | Jangari: 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 | 00:54 |
| torrent3 | Jangari root account is disabled | 00:54 |
| dxdemetriou | I have a problem with non english languages. the first I did from breezy was with bashrc. then I solved it with /etc/environment, but now I don't know where. I want an english environment to support greek that aren't utf8 like cds and dvds | 00:55 |
| Jangari | so su won't work? i should just use sudo pico to edit /etc/fstab? | 00:55 |
| dxdemetriou | I'm using Gutsy btw | 00:55 |
| ompaul | glycerine, we don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, cheers ;-) | 00:55 |
| glycerine | Jangari yep, that's the way they set it up | 00:55 |
| silverhawk_184 | can someone help me install beryl, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49640/ | 00:55 |
| Jangari | unless i enable root | 00:55 |
| Jangari | but i can't be bothered | 00:56 |
| ompaul | Jangari, sudo nano /etc/fstab | 00:56 |
| nickrud | oh, ompaul I'm gonna quote you on that, best response yest | 00:56 |
| ompaul | replacement for pico | 00:56 |
| ompaul | nickrud, I am sure I used that before :P | 00:56 |
| torrent3 | Anyone here got his blu-ray drive working in gutsy? | 00:56 |
| demonspork | glycerine, no the uuid has not changed | 00:57 |
| xshadowfire | hmm, for some reason ubuntu shows my external hard drive twice, is there anyway i can fix this | 00:57 |
| glycerine | ompaul gotcha ;) | 00:57 |
| enkidu_ak | Jangari: You could also use sudo su -, but why go through all that extra typing? | 00:57 |
| glycerine | demonspork You install windows after ubuntu? | 00:57 |
| ompaul | enkidu_ak , we don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, cheers ;-) | 00:57 |

| {Nathan} | I mount /dev/sda1 with the options "users,auto,rw". Root reads and writes to it fine, but how can I make my user account have r/w access? | 00:59 |

| pppoe_dude | hi any one here got a Creative Zen working under gutsy? | 00:59 |
| demonspork | glycerine, yes, but then I reinstalled grub. The only factor that changed is that one of my 2 ubuntu partitions fails to boot with the aformentioned error, failed to mount selected partition | 01:00 |
| jago | my screen is all wacked out, my mouse pointer can go farther than it should(off the screen) and I can't see my bottom panel | 01:00 |

| {Nathan} | jago: sounds like you just need to ajust the picture | 01:00 |
| pppoe_dude | (the new zen) | 01:00 |
| jago | how do I do that? I've been messing with the screen and graphics preference but the tests keep failing | 01:01 |
| glycerine | demonspork so you have 2 ubuntu installs, and one boots, one doesn't? | 01:01 |
| glycerine | in addition to the windows | 01:01 |
| dxdemetriou | anybody knows how can I have an english environment with greek support on Gutsy? | 01:01 |
| {Nathan} | jago: There should be buttons on your monitor and a menu will pop up, and you can do it from there | 01:01 |
| Fxyz4ever | linux s**t | 01:01 |
| {Nathan} | jago: this is just a guess of what's happening though | 01:01 |
| jago | im on a laptop | 01:01 |
| pppoe_dude | dxdemetriou, you have to add a keyboard layout in the keyboard settings | 01:01 |

| pppoe_dude | dxdemetriou, ah that is program-dependent | 01:02 |

| dxdemetriou | pppoe_dude, I did it before with bashrc, after it stop working I did it with /etc/environment and now I don't know | 01:03 |

| oddalot | the entire os...or just the boot screen is garbled? | 01:05 |
| ompaul | Thresher, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -- if you can't get that right then you need to use the live CD and copy its /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the hard drive | 01:05 |
| dxdemetriou | pppoe_dude, I have this problem also in wine | 01:05 |

| glycerine | oddalot /etc/X11 | 01:07 |
| oddalot | thx~ | 01:07 |
| Thresher | that is great instruction ompaul | 01:07 |
| zafer | anybody now, what`s gutsy`s install password? gnome login page ask me username and password, but i dont install anything, and i`ve not a password or username | 01:08 |
| heckler0071 | is there a keyboard command or a way to make a keyboard command to switch between workspaces? | 01:08 |
| glycerine | zafer you specified it when you installed the os | 01:08 |
| glycerine | zafer er someone else specified it when they installed it, you'll have to ask them | 01:08 |
| dxdemetriou | that I'm trying to do is to change the LANG and LC_TYPE for gnome, not only for terminal | 01:08 |
| ompaul | Thresher, you sorted | 01:08 |
| ompaul | ? | 01:09 |
| Thresher | I am | 01:09 |
| ompaul | good | 01:09 |
| Thresher | but have more questions about this issue | 01:09 |
| oddalot | oh whoops i didn't need xorg.conf...which file has the grub boot menu list in it? | 01:09 |
| ompaul | be careful what you ask for ;-) | 01:09 |
| zafer | i dont install ubuntu | 01:09 |
| glycerine | oddalot /boot | 01:09 |
| zafer | its ubuntu`s first live boot from cd | 01:09 |
| glycerine | zafer the boot cd ought to boot straight up with no password | 01:10 |
| mavi- | then you shouldnt need to login | 01:10 |
| wols_ | oddalot: /boot/grub/menu.lst and you shouldn't need to edit that | 01:10 |
| mavi- | sure you didnt click that install-icon on the desktop? | 01:10 |
| Thresher | Gutsy finds my monitor and names it correctly but it only allows lame resolutions...others in forums have complained about it and the ATI video cards. What issue do i sort out first? The monitor or the running of ati drivers? | 01:10 |
| ompaul | zafer, there is no password just type sudo command in a terminal for terminal stuff then you do gksu for graphical commands | 01:10 |
| glycerine | Thresher lemme guess, dell laptop? | 01:10 |
| Thresher | dell 1907flat panel lcd stand alone monitor | 01:10 |
| Thresher | close though | 01:10 |
| oddalot | thresher, have you tried editing the xorg.conf? | 01:11 |
| torrent3 | Anyone here got his blu-ray drive working in gutsy? | 01:11 |

| ompaul | matthewpoer, if it is (A) faulty (B) not the right ram (C) no other answers in my list | 01:12 |
| unravel | is the ram properly seated? | 01:13 |
| matthewpoer | yes | 01:13 |
| Thresher | matthepoer - if it wont launch even to bios then you need to check compatibility of ram | 01:13 |
| matthewpoer | re-seated, re-tested 4-5 times | 01:13 |
| Pelo | Thresher, you can do it from the livecd if you need to , make sure you get the xorg.conf from the hdd and not the one from the live cd | 01:13 |

| ph|ber | firefox, thunderbird, epiphany | 01:41 |
| glycerine | SQFreak and you have a guest acct with appropriate privileges? | 01:41 |
| Pelo | !ati | thresher and you can probably find more binaires on the ati weibsite | 01:42 |
| Jangari | oh crap, i think i did a stupid thing | 01:42 |
| ubotu | thresher and you can probably find more binaires on the ati weibsite: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:42 |
| MrPiracy2 | !find sabayon | 01:42 |

| Jangari | i mounted a hdd partition to the point /home/~ | 01:42 |
| ng0n | i see firewire in lspci | 01:42 |
| Jangari | that must have wiped all those user config files | 01:42 |
| wols_ | MrPiracy2: sabayon is a gentoo based iinux distro... | 01:42 |
| ng0n | how do i mount the firewire drive. it not in /media | 01:42 |
| sunogbaga | SQFreak: try sharing a folder inside your home dir | 01:42 |
| SQFreak | glycerine: probably not, because I have to add it, I'm sure. Should I just add a "nobody" account? | 01:42 |
| Jangari | hidden files | 01:42 |
| Pelo | MrPiracy2, sabayon is another linux distro if you want help with it I suggest you check their website | 01:42 |

| glycerine | SQFreak well i was thinking that the smb default is nobody, hence no permissions, no access | 01:42 |
| ph|ber | what does that mean? | 01:42 |
| ng0n | i forget linux.. uggg. | 01:43 |

| glycerine | SQFreak but that's a shot in the dark | 01:43 |
| Pelo | Jangari, no, nothing got wiped, just unmout it | 01:43 |
| wols_ | ng0n: when you attached it the kernel should have issued it it a /devicenode. try "sudo fdisk -l" and see if it shows up | 01:43 |
| ng0n | ok. | 01:43 |
| Edwardxp | what am i doing wrong | 01:43 |
| Pelo | ph|ber, means you hae to wait | 01:43 |
| wols_ | ph|ber: that you installed a library and the system has to update a few things in the background | 01:43 |
| Jangari | i can't seem to | 01:43 |
| sunogbaga | SQFreak: nobody ( i guess) does not have access to /backup | 01:43 |
| Pelo | Jangari, did you set it in fstab ? | 01:43 |
| MrPiracy2 | no one here knows about sabayon-admin? | 01:44 |
| Pelo | Jangari, the command is sudo umount /mountpoint | 01:44 |
| wols_ | MrPiracy2: grep -i sabayon /etc/passwd | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis_ | MrPiracy, since this is a Ubuntu channel..i would say No. | 01:44 |
| SQFreak | sunogbaga: perms on /backup are dwxrwxrwx (i.e. 777)...therefore all users should have full access, right? | 01:44 |
| wols_ | MrPiracy2: does the command spit something out? | 01:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Cereal: Like I thought... you used AUTOMATIX.. bad bad bad | 01:44 |

| Cereal | Jack_Sparrow: I know that now :) What do I do about it? | 01:45 |
| sunogbaga | SQFreak: i guess.. another option would be(if security is not a question) to use force user = your_user and force group = your_group | 01:45 |
| wols_ | Cereal: pray | 01:45 |
| thresher | hy pelo within the restricted drivers it already shows my ati drivers as IN USE | 01:45 |

| wols_ | thresher: what videocard exactly do you have? | 01:47 |
| Pelo | thresher, the instructions ubotu gave you should beeasy enough to follow and tell you how to instll the binairie driver, they probabaly start with instructions for the restricted driver but keep reading | 01:47 |

| Dr_willis_ | SQFreak, using samba? That 'using samba book' In the repos may have details on what you are trying to do. | 01:48 |
| Shri | I'm using hardy 64bit | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis_ | Automatix is VERY badly coded. :) | 01:48 |
| wols_ | Cereal: cause it likes to break ubuntu's packagemanagement badly and is often a pain to remove | 01:48 |
| thresher | glycerine if I show mesa vendor for open gl am i good? | 01:48 |
| Fezzler | If I want to learn more about the Linux under Ubuntu, should I look for books on Debian Linux? | 01:48 |

| wols_ | Cereal: simply shoddy made software | 01:48 |
| Shri | everything is workign except that | 01:48 |

| Cereal | Pelo: Okay, thanks :) I can remove the Repos it added (from inside the program) Should I?? | 01:48 |
| sunogbaga | SQFreak: your choice.. my smbclient also asks for password but when i try connecting using the gui .. well. it works | 01:48 |

| Josspyker | Shri: broadcom | 01:49 |
| SQFreak | Dr_willis: Yes. I'm trying to get it so that Windows will not bug me for a password when I try to connect to my share. | 01:49 |
| jack-desktop | LjL: without logging off, which way? | 01:49 |
| Shri | yup | 01:49 |
| silverhawk_184 | jack-desktop: ctrl+alt+backspace | 01:49 |
| Cereal | Wols: I can remove the Repos it added from inside itself. Should I? | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis_ | Fezzler, thers some free books for ubuntu out. | 01:49 |
| jack-desktop | can you restart X without logging off? | 01:49 |
| Josspyker | pastbin lspci and iwconfig | 01:49 |
| Pelo | jack-desktop, it will log you off and restart x at the same time | 01:49 |
| MrPiracy2 | glycerine: i did glxinfo, but how do i get to know if it's accelerated or not? | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis_ | SQFreak, i would say check that USing Samba Book. Its proberly discussed there. | 01:49 |

| jack-desktop | pelo: i dont want to log off ;p | 01:49 |

| JCDENTON | hello there | 01:50 |
| MrPiracy2 | glycerine: it says "direct rendering: no (if u wanna know why ..." | 01:50 |
| Fezzler | I'm reading Linux Systems Administration, good book but examines more than Debian | 01:50 |
| wols_ | glycerine: not true. what do you think intel and ati use? | 01:50 |
| JCDENTON | !fedora | 01:50 |
| ubotu | Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | Fezzler, check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training for some good core info. Then work you way up to more detailed books. | 01:51 |
| wols_ | MrPiracy2: what videocard do you have exactly? and what driver do you use? | 01:51 |
| JCDENTON | !rpm | 01:51 |
| ubotu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 01:51 |
| glycerine | wols_ but shouldn't the driver name show up? e.g. fglrx, ati? | 01:51 |
| MrPiracy2 | glycerine: like ... GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer ? | 01:51 |
| silverhawk_184 | can some one help; Error: Could not find 'SDL Image Library'. Try using the native package manager for Ubuntu 7.10 (apt-get) to install a package with similar name to 'sdl_image'. // i installed all of the sld packages that i found | 01:51 |
| JCDENTON | lol | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | Fezzler, once you learn the core fundamentals of linux. the disrtos are all very similer. | 01:51 |
| Cereal | Wols: Done. Anything else I can do? Would "sudo apt-get remove automatix" remove it? | 01:51 |
| MrPiracy2 | wols_: intel onboard 946gz using driver i810 | 01:51 |
| enkidu_ak | I am attempting to perform apt-get update after installing the medibuntu repo lists and key, but packages.medibuntu.org/dists/gutsy/free/binary-i386/ is returning 309: Moved.

Dig reveals three IPs being pointed to by that domain and I think that this is confusing wget. Would any of you have any recommendations for remedying this issue? | 01:51 |
| wols_ | glycerine: I don't think it does, only the GL provider which would be mesa in case of intel | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | Cereal, that may remove the program. but wont undo the damage its done. | 01:51 |
| wols_ | MrPiracy2: then you should use the "i810" or "intel" driver and should enable DRM and DRI | 01:52 |
| glycerine | wols_ hmm learn something new everyday | 01:52 |
| Josspyker | Shri: usb?what card | 01:52 |
| JCDENTON | is the fedora core similar to ubuntu ? | 01:52 |
| Cereal | Dr_willis_: Okay. Is there ANY way I can restore it? | 01:52 |
| MrPiracy2 | wols_: i am sure DRI is enabled, lemme check DRM | 01:52 |
| JCDENTON | is the fedora core similar to ubuntu one ? | 01:52 |
| wols_ | JCDENTON: only insofar as it's a general purpose distro | 01:52 |
| LjL | JCDENTON, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, this is a support channel | 01:52 |

| SQFreak | sunogbaga and glycerine: Got it! KDE's GUI puts in a line "msdfs proxy = no" that screws it up. Take out that line and it works great. | 01:53 |

| Ttech | Thank you wols_. :) | 01:53 |
| wols_ | thresher: then you will need fglrx | 01:53 |
| thresher | and showing mesa indirect | 01:53 |
| SQFreak | sunogbaga: I bet if you look in your smb.conf file you don't have that line. | 01:53 |
| Ttech | SE linux? | 01:53 |
| Ttech | ook | 01:53 |
| Josspyker | Shri: give me a minute | 01:53 |
| glycerine | SQFreak awesome. Make sure you write that down somewhere! | 01:53 |
| JCDENTON | yea | 01:53 |
| MrPiracy2 | wols_: what do u mean kernel module? | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis_ | Cereal, there is/was an #automatix channel and thei web site/forums | 01:53 |
| glycerine | SQFreak even better stick it on the forums so it's google searchable :) | 01:53 |
| wols_ | MrPiracy2: kernel module. drm | 01:53 |

| wols_ | !msgthebot | JCDENTON | 01:54 |
| ubotu | JCDENTON: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 01:54 |

| sunogbaga | SQFreak: great work GUIsss!! that's why i use vim for text editing.. | 01:55 |
| MrPiracy2 | wols_: oh no, i have been looking at my xorg.conf and it has been automaticly modified, i810 was replaced by "vesa" | 01:55 |
| mular | any ideas why my swap file would stop auto mounting on boot up? If I run gparted I see that its off.. | 01:55 |
| JCDENTON | sorry dudes | 01:55 |

| 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 | 01:55 |
| wols_ | Cereal: overwriting files you installed with dpkg, installing additional files ubuntu doens't know about and will cause problems on next update, not being able to properly uninstall, etc | 01:55 |
| SQFreak | sunogbaga: Yes, and so does my computer science professor. But I didn't want to screw it up so I used a GUI. Apparently that was a bad plan. | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis_ | installs all kinds of things in bad ways with littl eerror checking, and with the release of gutsy.. lets just say that automatix really is not needed these days | 01:55 |
| JCDENTON | whats the channel for the fedora distrib? | 01:55 |
| wols_ | MrPiracy2: poor you. | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis_ | Cereal, it never was really needed. | 01:56 |
| pppoe_dude | hmm... im gonna attempt doing something fairly risky | 01:56 |
| wols_ | JCDENTON: #fedora | 01:56 |

| thresher | Can I simply edit the xorg.conf under DEVICE and put the driver at fglrx instead of ati? | 02:01 |
| mular | well incase anyone was wondering answered my own question.. used gparted to make my swap partition bigger which changed my partitions location was /dev/sda7 now its /dev/sda9 so I had to edit fstab ;) | 02:01 |
| ng0n | understood. | 02:01 |

| wols_ | thresher: use sudo dpkg-reonfigure xserver-xorg | 02:02 |
| PMantis | glycerine: Screen saver is set for 10 minutes, which I believe is why the power settings only offer to blank the screen as low at 11 minutes. | 02:02 |
| Josspyker | Shri: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 and use only b43 and follow the instructions on that site | 02:02 |

| X-nor | |juan|: glxinfo | grep direct | 02:08 |
| |juan| | 6600gt | 02:08 |
| glycerine | Onyx alternatively, get the import/export plugin for firefox and export your keepass db. That might work | 02:08 |
| Josspyker | Shri: ok | 02:08 |
| nickrud | don't know nvidia , sorry. | 02:08 |
| Onyx | glycerine: Damn. Just migrated all my stuff from RoboForm from Windows (awesome program), but as it stands now KeePassX looks like the best alternative. | 02:08 |
| |juan| | nickrud: here's my issue though... | 02:08 |
| glycerine | PMantis found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-41788.html | 02:09 |

| etjhnet | Anyone know how? | 02:10 |
| nickrud | thresher, that was a package list, not a command :) sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager emerald <== that's a command ;p | 02:10 |
| |juan| | both are working fine | 02:10 |
| Pir8 | dual monitors is such a pain to get working | 02:10 |
| matt_ | just wondering...as I've only used debian based distros (ubuntu and kubuntu), do most terminal commands work across all distros? i'm talking about the mount commands, umount commands, etc. | 02:10 |
| Pir8 | but once it works, its beautiful :) | 02:10 |
| mular | hrm now if I pull up gparted it lists my swap as unknown | 02:10 |

| Jangari | pelo, unmounting and restarting has fixed that, it just restored the default configurations, but strangely, two directories, home/data and home/~ are identical | 02:10 |
| burt0 | via terminal? | 02:10 |
| |juan| | Pir8: it was simple | 02:10 |
| burt0 | all i have is x :( | 02:10 |
| Pir8 | |juan|, challenging for me to set it up :) | 02:10 |
| X-nor | burt0: kde or kubuntu? | 02:10 |
| |juan| | if i do compiz --replace | 02:10 |

| matt_ | burt0: try this: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop* | 02:11 |
| burt0 | x-mor, funny story....i am an ubuntu user trying to help a non-buntu user install kde....so not on ubuntu here.... | 02:11 |

| burt0 | X-mor, vector linux....slackware based | 02:11 |

| nickrud | thresher, after you install that stuff, you need to log out and back in (hit ctl-alt-backspace while logged out for luck) | 02:12 |
| Onyx | glycerine: Will do -- just wanted to make sure I wasn't looking at some other BS :P | 02:12 |
| thresher | nickrud the stuff didnt install | 02:12 |
| nickrud | X-nor, I got lots of space, but none for kdey | 02:13 |
| thresher | it resulted in 'emerald' path not found | 02:13 |

| Shri | the wlan0 doesn't even show up | 02:17 |

| reya276 | jimmygoon: something about a composite engine | 02:17 |

| jimmygoon | thresher, I would second what nickrud is saying, pidgin/gaim/purple is crap for irc... xchat/irssi is the only way to go | 02:17 |

| bulmer | jimbo, youare on chatting here now, this is for another pc? | 02:22 |
| jimmygoon | and did you set that option on the new panel? | 02:22 |
| thresher_ | nickrud: it errored when i chose the option i wanted | 02:22 |
| Josspyker | Shri: and then | 02:22 |
| jimbo | yes bulmer this is my laptop | 02:22 |
| alexvd | jimmygoon: yes | 02:22 |
| nickrud | thresher_, you haven't answered my question | 02:22 |
| Shri | instead of blacklisting bcm43xx | 02:22 |
| glycerine | robr it won't only apache 2 is in the gutsy universe according to packages.ubuntu.com | 02:23 |
| thresher_ | nickrud: i wasnt able to get the error to go away by clicking ok | 02:23 |
| thresher_ | nickrud: ill be back | 02:23 |
| Shri | like its in most tutorials | 02:23 |
| alexvd | jimmygoon: I even checked in gconf editor | 02:23 |
| jimmygoon | alexvd and it simply won't autohide? | 02:23 |
| bulmer | jimbo, elaborate on your network layout, what is connected to what? | 02:23 |
| jimmygoon | is there anything like trying to get your attention or something? | 02:23 |
| Shri | then I might not get the alternate driver shit at the end | 02:23 |
| robr | glycerine: E: Package apache has no installation candidate. | 02:23 |
| alexvd | jimmygoon: yes. I did modify it | 02:23 |
| etjhnet | jimmygoon: well? | 02:23 |
| Daemonik | I'm using Kubuntu 7.10, what program would one use to record a video to upload to youtube? | 02:23 |
| jimmygoon | alexvd, what do you mean modify it? | 02:23 |
| Josspyker | Shri: the b43 should be the correct driver,but show me the tut. | 02:24 |
| glycerine | robr yes according to packages.ubuntu.com, apache2 is the only install option from the repos | 02:24 |
| jimbo | i have a linksys router and a wireless card i believe is also linksys | 02:24 |
| alexvd | jimmygoon: I made it larger 50px and I turned off expand. | 02:24 |
| Shri | hold on | 02:24 |
| jimbo | i can see the network fine | 02:24 |
| robr | glycerine: ok, so does that mean i need to download a file and install from source or something? | 02:24 |
| patrick_ | hey pidgin randomly kicks me off (this is not an internet connection problem, im running 7.10) anyone got any ideas on how to fix it? | 02:24 |
| jimmygoon | etjhnet, I don't know. Someone will have to patch nautilus / gnome's removable media handler. it's not something that an IRC user is going to fix. the best thing to do is to file a bug report and report it to the mailing list, I don't have time to go edit the source | 02:24 |
| bulmer | jimbo you need to prefix your responses to me with my nick, or else i will miss..way too many chatters here | 02:24 |
| jimbo | and when i connect to it it appears that i am connected on the panel but i can't seem to get on the internet | 02:24 |
| jimmygoon | alexvd, 50 :( | 02:25 |
| jimmygoon | alexvd, lemme see if I can reproduce to see if it is a bug | 02:25 |
| thresher | nickrud: im back after rebooting | 02:25 |
| jimbo | blumer, when i connect to the internet it appears that i am connected on the panel | 02:25 |
| glycerine | robr that would probably be the easiest option, rather than adding an older repo and dealing with package dep problems | 02:25 |
| nickrud | thresher, reboot wasn't necessary, just a logout | 02:25 |
| robr | glycerine: OK thanks for that, I'll give it a go | 02:26 |
| alexvd | jimmygoon: Running 7.10 up to date, Turned of compiz | 02:26 |
| jimmygoon | alexvd, did you close the panel options dialog? | 02:26 |
| thresher | nickrud: oops ok | 02:26 |
| bulmer | jimbo you need to prefix your responses to me with my nick, or else i will miss..way too many chatters here | 02:26 |
| alexvd | jimmygoon: yes and I even rebooted | 02:26 |
| glycerine | robr np, sorry i couldn't be of more help | 02:26 |

| jimmygoon | alexvd, strange. it works for me :( not that thats what you want to hear | 02:26 |
| Shri | this seems to be the same problem | 02:26 |
| Shri | I think | 02:26 |
| Pir8 | so is there a reason why when one installs ubuntu, one cannot customize what to include and exclude as part of the install ? | 02:26 |
| nickrud | thresher, first rule of linux, you nearly never have to reboot to effect a change, unlike windows | 02:26 |
| jimbo | bulmer ok what do you want ot know i am a beginner | 02:26 |
| glycerine | Onyx eh was worth a shot ;) | 02:26 |
| bulmer | jimbo, elaborate on your network layout, what is connected to what? | 02:26 |
| patrick_ | hey all i need help; im running 7.10 and im in pidgin and it just randomly freezes up and i have to force quit and reboot pidgin, any ideas on how to fix it? | 02:27 |
| Shri | but I don't know why wlan0 is not showing up | 02:27 |
| Onyx | glycerine: Yeah, I'll be pretty happy if KeePassX can integrate someday | 02:27 |
| Shri | it is saying use udev | 02:27 |
| thresher | nickrud: that sounds like a welcome change | 02:27 |
| Shri | to change the name of the interface | 02:27 |
| jimbo | blumer, i have a linksys router and i belive i also have a linksys card in my desktop | 02:27 |
| glycerine | Onyx it's on their roadmap but i wouldn't hold my breath | 02:27 |
| Shri | how do I do that | 02:27 |
| alexvd | jimmygoon: strange only thing i can say is that I deleted the original. I am also running dual screen stretched across. | 02:27 |
| jimbo | blumer, neiter is connected right now that is the problem | 02:27 |
| eccotecc | Hi Folks | 02:27 |
| bulmer | jimbo pay attention to my nick | 02:27 |
| Onyx | glycerine: Why's that? Not a high priority? | 02:27 |
| jimmygoon | nickrud, except for when ubuntu goes all screwy on me, won't launch new apps and won't bring up the dialog to let me log out, or if I ctrl+alt+backspace it just goes to a black screen :( | 02:27 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | does anyone know how to connect to PDANet software? | 02:28 |
| jimbo | bulmer, sorry man | 02:28 |
| jimmygoon | alexvd, oh, I can't test that, but its possible thats what it is... did you google to see if others have had a similar problem? | 02:28 |
| nickrud | jimmygoon, that's one reason I put the nearly in. You must be using one of the proprietary drivers :) | 02:28 |
| Josspyker | Shri: did you try this sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 02:28 |
| jimmygoon | nickrud, not for graphics | 02:28 |
| alexvd | jimmygoon: checked but i didnt see anything. Also the autohide works fine on the top panel | 02:28 |
| jimmygoon | nickrud, unfortunately for wirless :/ | 02:28 |
| jimmygoon | alexvd, that is weeeeird | 02:28 |
| jimbo | bulmer, can you tell me how permissions work | 02:29 |
| * nickrud strokes his broadcom 4311, works great with bcm43xx | 02:29 | |
| jimmygoon | alexvd, sorry, you've exhausted any ideas I've got | 02:29 |
| thresher | nickrud: just discovered what ctrl backspace does | 02:29 |
| glycerine | Onyx the last version i think is from 04 or 05. But in the interim, i found a hacky way you might like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202896 | 02:29 |
| Shri | yeah | 02:29 |
| * jimmygoon can't wait to get a new computer | 02:29 | |
| nickrud | lol | 02:29 |
| bulmer | jimbo, this is a wireles or ethernet connectivity? | 02:29 |
| jimmygoon | thresher, I was afreaid someone might do that | 02:29 |
| jimbo | bulmer, wireless | 02:29 |
| thresher | How do i shortcut key to terminal? | 02:29 |
| glycerine | Onyx i stand correct, the last version was june 06 :) | 02:29 |
| bulmer | jimbo, your laptop wireless can associate but your desktop cant? | 02:29 |
| jimmygoon | thresher, System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts | 02:29 |
| Shri | did that to extract the firmware from the broadcom website...that tutorial that you sent me | 02:29 |
| Shri | remember | 02:30 |
| alexvd | jimmygoon: tell me about it. Also highly annoying. I think its because I deleted the original. i did that when i ran awn but I can run compiz with dual screen because of a memory limitation on my graphics card :( | 02:30 |
| === bthomson is now known as carlos | ||
| thresher | nickrud: so nick, now what? I want to try and get those pretty effects going | 02:30 |
| sadaiyappan | Hi. | 02:30 |
| Shri | that needs that to extract the *.o file | 02:30 |
| thresher | jimmygoon: thanks | 02:30 |
| jimbo | bulmer, yes the network itself is fine my laptop is not using ubuntu only my desktop | 02:30 |
| sadaiyappan | How do i get the 3d effects? | 02:30 |
| jimmygoon | alexvd, come to think it though, I have deleted my bar because I was running awn for a while too | 02:30 |
| jimmygoon | sadaiyappan, do you have a decent pc/graphics card? | 02:30 |
| nickrud | thresher, alt-f2 , type compiz --replace && emerald --replace | 02:30 |
| jimmygoon | sadaiyappan, and are you on gutsy? | 02:30 |
| bulmer | jimbo, do you have the driver for your wifi loaded? | 02:30 |
| LegionaryK | hey, i dont remember choosing a root password during installation and now my standard user pass doesnt work with SU in terminal??? Is it some kind of idiot block or? | 02:30 |
| crdlb | sadaiyappan: join #compiz-fusion | 02:30 |
| alexvd | jimmygoon: the only other thing i could think is one of the launchers for applications is hanging it. | 02:31 |
| sadaiyappan | yeah i'm on gutsy and i have x1400 | 02:31 |
| jimmygoon | !sudo | LegionaryK | 02:31 |
| ubotu | LegionaryK: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 02:31 |
| jimmygoon | !root > LegionaryK | 02:31 |
| crdlb | nickrud: that's unnecessary (and incorrect), the compiz wrapper will run emerald for you | 02:31 |

| nickrud | crdlb, it does now? great, thanks | 02:31 |
| sadaiyappan | i have basic 3d | 02:31 |

| neutrinomass | Hi. Sometimes, but not always, when I boot, I don't have sound. I'm not even greeted by any welcome sound in gdm. A reboot sometimes fixes the problem, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 to fix it. Any ideas ? | 02:32 |
| jimmygoon | for the first time though emerald still has to be run manually after install | 02:32 |
| sadaiyappan | it works okay | 02:32 |

| Onyx | glycerine: Ahh, they're not exactly blazing a trail getting out the releases then :P; checking out that link you sent me | 02:32 |
| jimbo | bulmer, i have just installed ubunto and when it first boot up the wireless card showed 3 connections available, i chose my connetion and entered the passkey but it didn't connect | 02:32 |
| crdlb | nickrud: because the compiz wrapper was already running emerald for you | 02:32 |
| nickrud | crdlb, lol, makes sense | 02:32 |
| jimmygoon | alexvd, and there's no good reason as to why those would stop anthing :/ | 02:32 |
| crdlb | nickrud: && runs the second command after the first command exits successfully | 02:32 |
| glycerine | Onyx keep in mind on that link that greasemonkey isn't exactly the most secure thing out there | 02:32 |
| jimbo | bulmer, then i tried to setup a network by going to the adminstrator, then network then setting it up manually | 02:32 |
| Josspyker | Shri: yep,wich kernel do you use | 02:32 |
| Pelo | neutrinomass, when you don'T get sound on startup can you still get sounds from playing audio files and movied ? | 02:33 |
| |chiz| | Does anyone have some insight into this? I'm running Gutsy/Compiz/fglrx without XGL so I assume I'm running AIXGL, fgl_gears doesn't have a window border and its very choppy, this is also the case for my own opengl programs. | 02:33 |
| Shri | 2.6.24 | 02:33 |
| bulmer | jimbo, go to system -> administration ->network which you just did | 02:33 |
| thresher | crdlb: so should i rerun the command without it | 02:33 |
| snadge | /part | 02:33 |
| crdlb | thresher: no, it doesn't hurt | 02:33 |
| * jimmygoon should turn off his sounds... his laptop has a broken sound dial so its always on SUPERLOUD | 02:33 | |
| bulmer | jimbo, what settings did you put in there? | 02:33 |
| crdlb | just doesn't help either :p | 02:33 |
| neutrinomass | Pelo: No, no sound at all, everything turned up from alsamixer | 02:33 |
| LegionaryK | that ubotu bot is impressive ^^ | 02:33 |
| thresher | crdlb: what if i run it before asking you , is that going to create a problem? | 02:33 |
| Shri | the tutorial say that my chipset needs a patch for my kernel | 02:34 |
| nickrud | crdlb, I had assumed that compiz was releasing itself, like some other apps do (such as nautilus) | 02:34 |
| Pelo | Shri, why are you using 2.6.24 since the current ubuntu kernel is .22 ? | 02:34 |
| Edwardxp | how do i make a webcam server? | 02:34 |
| thresher | nickrud: so now that is done | 02:34 |
| jimmygoon | LegionaryK, did that get you all fixed up then? | 02:34 |
| crdlb | nickrud: ah yeah beryl-manager did that too | 02:34 |
| Shri | I upgraded to hardy | 02:34 |
| Pelo | neutrinomass, when this happens , does your sound card show in lspci ? | 02:34 |
| jimbo | bulmer, i put in my essid and then my passcode | 02:34 |
| neutrinomass | Pelo: Yep | 02:34 |
| Shri | and upgraded the kernel also to get the sound problem resoloved | 02:34 |
| nickrud | crdlb, but I always expect to learn something every time I come here, thanks | 02:34 |
| Pelo | Shri, then you need to ask for help in #ubuntu+1 | 02:34 |
| LegionaryK | more or less, solved most of my noob issues ^ | 02:34 |
| elantrix | neutrinomass: You may need to get or fix the acpi | 02:35 |
| jimmygoon | Shri, you are on hardy now? its like like not even close to really stable.... | 02:35 |
| Josspyker | Shri: and the and of the tutorial they say there is a problem rebuilding the drivers for the latest kerneli believe | 02:35 |
| |chiz| | neutrinomass, what sound card do you have? | 02:35 |
| nickrud | thresher, do you have pretty moving windows? | 02:35 |

| Pelo | !sound | neutrinomass review the info in this , and check in the forum | 02:35 |
| ubotu | neutrinomass review the info in this , and check in the forum: 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).

| bulmer | jimbo, id rather have it start with no encryption before you get that WAP going..easier to test | 02:35 |
| |chiz| | neutrinomass, I fixed that today | 02:35 |
| thresher | nickrud: hmm i think so | 02:35 |
| elantrix | neutrinomass: what hardware you running it on? | 02:35 |
| neutrinomass | elantrix: any ideas how to do it ? | 02:35 |
| * jimmygoon found out today that some people still have trouble with flash audio | 02:35 | |
| jimbo | bulmer, ok | 02:35 |
| thresher | nickrud: i think on relog in i should be able to see the differenc eon that log in screen | 02:35 |

| thresher | Pelo: what is synaptic | 02:40 |
| Invert314 | i did | 02:40 |
| Invert314 | no response | 02:40 |

| ubotu | Pelo ;): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 02:44 |
| jimmygoon | alexvd, like I said, I have nooo idea... doesn't make much sense | 02:44 |
| nickrud | oh, you can do that to Pelo again !! | 02:44 |
| * IndyGunFreak laughs as he tries to imagine Pelo being off topic | 02:44 | |
| Odd-rationale | lol!!! | 02:44 |
| Shpook | Anyone have any experience with PulseAudio? | 02:44 |
| alexvd | might be dual monitors | 02:44 |
| Pelo | thresher, it happens, you don'T need to pick them all, just try for the stuff that is compiz related that seems basic, compiz, compiz-core, managers and settings stuff | 02:44 |
| Edwardxp | http://75.6.224.220:8888/ keep refreshing every click :) | 02:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | alexvd: what isn't working for you? | 02:45 |
| Edwardxp | its' pretty cool. | 02:45 |
| jimbo1 | bulmer, im connected but i don't have the wep encryption | 02:45 |
| crdlb | thresher: compiz and compizconfig-settings-manager will install everything you need for compiz | 02:45 |
| Odd-rationale | Invert314: Is it working now? or no? | 02:45 |
| |chiz| | Does anyone know if there is a way to get opengl apps to run properly while running a compiz/fglrx/aiglx desktop? | 02:45 |
| Shpook | Edwardxp: Now just write a JS script to refresh it automatically every second lol | 02:46 |
| bulmer | jimbo, you are connected without the encryption? you can ping www.yahoo.com? | 02:46 |
| Invert314 | Odd-rationale, i will report back in 5 minutes with an answer | 02:46 |
| alexvd | IndyGunFreak: When I unselect expand my autohide doesnt work on gnome panel. Running 7.10 witout compiz | 02:46 |
| Edwardxp | i don't know java | 02:46 |
| Edwardxp | :( | 02:46 |
| Odd-rationale | Invert314: ok | 02:46 |
| jimbo1 | bulmer, yes | 02:46 |
| crdlb | |chiz|: no not yet :( | 02:46 |
| Shpook | Has anyone used PulseAudio yet, especially on 64-bit? | 02:46 |
| thresher | crdlb: when i try to run within terminal compiz it fails | 02:47 |
| Edwardxp | can you help me out with something like that"? | 02:47 |
| bulmer | jimbo, thats a good sign...now can you browse with the desktop? | 02:47 |
| thresher | i am installing the synaptics packagesd | 02:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | alexvd: hmm, i'm running dual screens, and it seems to be working fine for me(unchecked expand, and autohide is working) | 02:47 |
| |chiz| | crdld: really it seems strange because glxgears works fine but fglrxgears is all messed up like my own opengl apps | 02:47 |
| Pelo | Shpook, no, you are the first , we rely on you to learn everything you can and troubleshoot us later on | 02:47 |
| jimbo1 | bulmer, yes | 02:47 |
| magic_ninja | how do i switch to runlevel 2 (no x server just a terminal) | 02:47 |
| spooge | hi | 02:47 |
| alexvd | IndyGunFreak: are you running a stretched screen | 02:47 |
| jimmygoon | Edwardxp, what is your question/problem? | 02:47 |
| crdlb | thresher: did you log out after installing xserver-xgl ? | 02:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | yes.. | 02:48 |
| thresher | I do not recall installing xserver-xgl | 02:48 |
| jimbo1 | bulmer, i have another problem i dont know if you can answer it | 02:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | i have two panels, 1 on each monitor, across the top, but i just auto hid the one on th left, and it worked fine. | 02:48 |
| Edwardxp | i apt-get webcam-server and i got the webcam up, but i want to stream to my computer the feed | 02:48 |
| jimmygoon | thresher, you may not have needed ot | 02:48 |
| crdlb | thresher: you are using fglrx right? | 02:48 |
| spooge | can someone help with installing onto Leopard via VMware? | 02:48 |
| spooge | i think it's working | 02:48 |
| spooge | not sure | 02:48 |
| thresher | crdlb: i do not know | 02:48 |
| magic_ninja | !runlevel | 02:48 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:48 |
| nickrud | thresher, I've given you the command to install that like 4 times now | 02:48 |
| jimmygoon | Edwardxp, and you want it to auto refresh or somethign? | 02:48 |
| alexvd | IndyGunFreak: I dont know why i am having this issue. Annoying | 02:48 |
| thresher | and it was erroring out nickrud, i am not being rude | 02:49 |
| jimmygoon | Edwardxp, you will have to configure your webcam-server settings... | 02:49 |
| Pelo | spooge, maybe the ppl in #vmware can give you a hand | 02:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | alexvd: don't know.. i hate auto-hide, so i probably wouldnt have noticed it if i had the problem | 02:49 |
| jimmygoon | thresher, what is the error | 02:49 |
| spooge | thanks! | 02:49 |
| Shpook | Pelo: lol Alright, sounds good. As soon as the Gutsy upgrade is complete. | 02:49 |
| jimbo1 | bulmer, I have a harddrive that ntsf and when i try to mount it it says that it was hybernated by windows and that i have to shutdown windows properly and to access it but i no longer have windows on my desktop so this is impossible | 02:49 |
| === Wanderer_ is now known as Wanderer | ||
| Invert314 | brb | 02:49 |
| jimbo1 | bulmer, is there anyway i can force it to mount | 02:49 |
| thresher | emeral not found | 02:49 |
| nickrud | thresher, <nickrud> thresher, then sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager xserver-xgl emerald <-- copy and paste that into the terminal <-- that errored out? | 02:49 |
| Shpook | PulseAudio looks and sounds promising...let's see if it holds up. | 02:50 |
| jimmygoon | Edwardxp, it may be that that particulr software doesn't support that | 02:50 |
| Pelo | thresher, sudo apt-get install emerald , exit synaptic first | 02:50 |
| jimmygoon | Edwardxp, and java has nothing to do with it | 02:50 |
| scragar | with the desktop effects how do I make the expo effect(shows all your desktops at once by zooming out) accept single clicks to change desktops instead of double | 02:50 |
| jimmygoon | !ccsm | scragar | 02:50 |
| ubotu | scragar: 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 | 02:50 |
| Pelo | scragar, ask in #compiz | 02:50 |
| crdlb | scragar: you cannot | 02:50 |
| thresher | i reran nickrud command in terminal it is working now after synaptics install | 02:50 |
| jimmygoon | scragar, you will have to do that and configure it manually | 02:50 |
| crdlb | why would you want that? | 02:51 |
| bulmer | jimbo, i am not aware of such thing as hibernated hd..try mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc1 assuming its hdc1 is the ntfs partition | 02:51 |
| thresher | Pelo: i installed emerald within synaptics so it seems to be working for me now | 02:51 |
| jimmygoon | scragar, actually, sorry, crdlb is right... I checked ... you can't even make it do it that way | 02:51 |
| Pelo | thresher, congradulations | 02:51 |
| crdlb | scragar: well you can set "Double click time" to an extremely small amount in CCSM | 02:51 |
| Yancho | is there a way i can check how a network printer is being called? | 02:51 |
| crdlb | which would prevent you from ever triggering a double click | 02:51 |
| scragar | ok, thanks for the trying guys | 02:51 |
| alexvd | IndyGunFreak: So I noticed that when I unselect expand my desktop items shift over to the right into the other screen. Wierd | 02:52 |
| bulmer | jimbo, i missed the mount point... mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt | 02:52 |
| * Pelo watches half the questions go rigth over his head | 02:52 | |
| Invert314 | Odd-rationale, didn't work | 02:52 |
| * nickrud thinks Pelo is verrry short then ;P | 02:53 | |
| Odd-rationale | Invert314: Have you tried reinstalling fluxbox? | 02:53 |
| Edwardxp | webcam-server -c "Edward is Awesome" -g 640x480; this is really cool | 02:53 |
| Invert314 | Odd-rationale, how do i do that? | 02:53 |
| Edwardxp | http://75.6.224.220:8888/ | 02:53 |
| thresher | so i logged out and back in, I received a messgae indicating my xgl had changed nickrud pelo crdlb | 02:53 |
| * Pelo hopes a hard questions goes right over his head and hits nickrud | 02:53 | |
| IndyGunFreak | alexvd: i have no logical explanation for that, it works fine for me.. | 02:53 |
| Odd-rationale | Invert314: Synaptic is one way... | 02:53 |
| Pelo | thresher, congrats | 02:53 |
| thresher | So I still cant tell if i have the pretty windows | 02:53 |
| sleepster | when is Ubuntu 8 coming out? | 02:53 |
| nickrud | Pelo, the scar tissue is so deep I can't feel them anymore | 02:53 |
| sleepster | the official release | 02:53 |
| thresher | should i now go play with my advanced seettings and kick it up a notch? | 02:54 |
| Odd-rationale | !hardy | sleepster | 02:54 |
| ubotu | sleepster: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 02:54 |
| jimmygoon | sleepster, the numbers are based off of YEAR-MONTH | 02:54 |
| Pelo | thresher, now go in menu > sys > prefs > appearance, and turn on the advance effects | 02:54 |
| jimmygoon | so 08.04 is April 2008 just like every year :) | 02:54 |
| Ziimp | naaaacht :P | 02:54 |
| jimbo1 | bulmer, i did that and i get the message "The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows propery, so mounting could be done safely." | 02:54 |
| Odd-rationale | Invert314: You can search for fluxbox in synaptic. Then mark for reinstalll | 02:54 |
| jimmygoon | ooh ooh! another LTS... I forgot! | 02:54 |
| Invert314 | Odd-rationale, good idea | 02:54 |
| Invert314 | i'll try that now | 02:54 |
| jimmygoon | speaking of which, how is the artwork going for that | 02:55 |
| Pelo | jimmygoon, it is hidious | 02:55 |
| Odd-rationale | Invert314: I hope that work! I have go now. See ya1 | 02:55 |
| bulmer | jimbo1, i have not done ntfs stuff with linux..so am not able to suggest anything | 02:55 |
| alexvd | IndyGunFreak: I have another question that could be related. At one point I was trying to mess with Xorg settings and I put an option in that specified a memory size. It caused a really wierd situation that when i enabled compiz it then gave me a black bar across the right half of my screen. I cannot figure out how to get rid of that. I would assume to rerun xorg setup but I am not sure. I did edit that out of Xorg but it n | 02:55 |
| alexvd | ever got rid of it. | 02:55 |
| Invert314 | thanks Odd-rationale | 02:55 |
| Invert314 | later | 02:55 |
| jimmygoon | Pelo, nooo don't say that :( I'm all excited for that | 02:55 |
| thresher | pelo: desktop effects could not be enabled | 02:55 |
| spooge | hi...um...i have a dumb question | 02:56 |
| spooge | how do i get to the GUI? | 02:56 |
| spooge | i think ubuntu is rnning on vmware | 02:56 |
| Pelo | thresher, maybe you should ask in #compiz-fusion, they will be able to get all the stuff storted out | 02:56 |
| spooge | on my mac | 02:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | alexvd: not really sure, i've honestly never had a prob w/ Dual screens.., so i couldn't really tell you, reconfiguring would probably work. here's a pic of my desktop w/ the taskbars autohid.. youc an barely see them at the top on each "side".. | 02:56 |
| Pelo | spooge, gui should get loaded on startup | 02:57 |
| jimmygoon | Pelo, is this official? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/BasicIdeals?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=fulldesk%28svg%29_v3_3.jpg | 02:57 |
| Odd-rationale | Invert314: A good place to get help with fluxbox is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=371144 RedSquirrel is an expert at fluxbox. | 02:57 |
| newbie | whenever i check in system monitor, i always find that less than 120MB of my 185.5MB is being used. Why is this and there any way of increasing the amount of real memory being used rather than swap memory? | 02:57 |
| spooge | oh | 02:57 |
| alexvd | IndyGunFreak: something funky with any new panel I add. I can autohide the top and uncheck expand with no issues. | 02:57 |
| Invert314 | ok ty ty Odd-rationale | 02:57 |

| jimbo1 | bulmer, ok thanks quick question how do i get to the universe app | 02:57 |
| Shpook | jimmygoon: that nice in an ugly way...I don't know what to think | 02:57 |
| Pelo | jimmygoon, I don'T know about official but that is pretty much the last thing I've seen, it is niceish but I don't like it for a default nor for enticing new users | 02:57 |
| bulmer | jimbo1, what is the universe app? | 02:57 |
| alexvd | IndyGunFreak: what is the command for reconfiguring xorg sudo dpgkg reconfigure???? | 02:58 |
| Pelo | jimmygoon, personnaly I think default themes should be light and inviting | 02:58 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | does anyone know how to connect to PDANet software? | 02:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | alexvd: pretty sure... | 02:58 |
| jimmygoon | Pello, Shpook, well, lets just say, its a good thing that I've gotten good at customizing ubuntu to stave away the default look. | 02:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | alexvd: hang on i'll look for sure | 02:58 |
| Shpook | Pelo: there's no contrast...that would scare me away... | 02:58 |
| jimmygoon | Pelo, agreed. the visual appeal really is a big draw | 02:58 |
| jimbo1 | bulmer, i found, the add remove program thing is what im talking about | 02:58 |
| Shpook | jimmygoon: lol | 02:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | alexvd: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 02:59 |
| Pelo | Shpook, a very good point, I'm not saying they should use the default gnome theme but his does have advantages | 02:59 |
| jimbo1 | bulmer, thanks again i am going to go unencrypted for now and play : ) | 02:59 |
| bulmer | jimbo1, good luck | 02:59 |
| zero88 | Wow, where would I go to talk about C++ if that channel does't even exist? | 02:59 |
| alexvd | IndyGunFreak: thanks | 02:59 |
| Pelo | zero88, I beleive it does | 03:00 |
| nickrud | zero88, #c++ does exist | 03:00 |
| jimmygoon | Pelo, well, I'm saying they should :) ... can you tell I'm not a fan of "human" | 03:00 |
| zero88 | Ah! forgot the # part, thanks guys | 03:00 |
| thresher | I am a pretty efficient Windows user with a plethora of experience within the registry. I have found that Ubuntu perhaps offers some more stability but I am interested to see how 'easy' it really is to setup a dual monitor setup with full effects and 3d on gutsy. | 03:00 |

| Onyx | thresher: I've been using Ubuntu for all of 10 hours. | 03:01 |
| thresher | Nice Onyx | 03:01 |
| jimmygoon | Pelo, tango icons... sometimes Gion | 03:01 |
| * IndyGunFreak didn't know Ubuntu had a theme other than the OSX them.. ;) | 03:01 | |
| thresher | Do you have 3d running on ati ? onyx | 03:01 |
| Onyx | thresher: Easiest system I've ever set up and use | 03:01 |
| Onyx | thresher: 3D on Nvidia | 03:01 |
| thresher | for me by far not the easiest | 03:01 |
| Pelo | jimmygoon, I saw this on gnome-look the other day and I thought it was so freindly http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/DelvienGANT?content=72321 | 03:01 |
| Shpook | Pelo, jimmygoon: I use a custom white on black theme, with Crystal Icons | 03:01 |
| thresher | onyx mostly due to ati i am guessing | 03:01 |
| |juan| | anybody know why X would crash and restart at login when running "compiz --replace" | 03:02 |
| thresher | onyx thats part of what i am being critical about though | 03:02 |
| brk3 | I was (stupidly) removing some packages today and have somehow deleted my sound device. Is there anyway of getting a list of what packages were recently removed? | 03:02 |

| Varanger | Does anyone know if there is any problems between compiz and xv ?? | 03:02 |

| hanasakiRemote | does gutsy support the Atheros L1 ethernet? | 03:03 |
| jimmygoon | and for that matter, overly compressed JPEGs annoy me as well | 03:03 |
| Shpook | Pelo, jimmygoon: I try to keep it as clean and clear as possible. And simple of course. I used to do the whole Compiz and AWN thing, but it was too much and too unstable. | 03:03 |

| MikeLowrey_14046 | i have a big problem. here is a screen, someone can help me? its realy only a screen http://www.pennergame.de/ref.php?refid=9250149 | 03:10 |
| tanath | MrPiracy, press ctrl+s, choose your server. click edit... and edit the channels to join | 03:10 |
| Onyx | thresher: I'm assuming you already installed the ATI drivers? | 03:10 |
| tanath | gah, beat to it | 03:10 |
| Robbie_Crash | and there was nobody there so I was asking | 03:10 |
| Pelo | nickrud, sorry gnome 2.18 | 03:10 |
| thresher | onyx, im up to path on all that so far | 03:10 |
| === svt is now known as TurKs | ||
| thresher | Onyx: i am going to plug in my second monitor and see if all goes to hell as it did earlier | 03:10 |
| Onyx | thresher: Let us know... and if it does, let us know what it said as it went to hell :) | 03:11 |
| jimmygoon | thresher, good luck | 03:11 |
| MrPiracy | Pelo: comma separated? | 03:11 |
| === mwansa_ is now known as freenzy | ||
| Pelo | MrPiracy, I beleive so, it should say so in the tool tip | 03:11 |
| MrPiracy | Pelo: thx | 03:11 |
| thresher | hmm maybe the radeon 9800 pro is not enough horsepower to handle these effects, opening firefox creates a yellow expansion box and a slow down | 03:12 |
| * Pelo just feels the luv | 03:12 | |
| Pelo | thresher, could be, how much video memory do you have ? | 03:12 |
| thresher | 256 | 03:12 |
| thresher | it may be 128 | 03:12 |
| Pelo | thresher, megs ? | 03:12 |
| Pelo | that should be more then enought | 03:12 |
| ader10 | Suggestion: There should be a subroot directory similar to windows (don't flame me for saying the W word). Imagine: cd /../windows or cd /../usbdrive. | 03:12 |
| ader10 | There are several advantages to that, one way would be that you could measure how much disk space on a certain partition is used up. (It's frustrating trying to figure out how much linux space I have left when my windows partition is mounted under /media/windows | 03:12 |
| Pelo | thresher, did yo ask the lovely ppl in #compiz-fusion to give you a hand on this ? | 03:13 |
| thresher | whjat is gl desktop | 03:13 |
| jimmygoon | ader10, what do you mean "subroot" ? | 03:13 |
| ader10 | jimmygoon: there's the "root" directory "/" | 03:13 |
| thresher | Pelo: i dont really know what to ask | 03:13 |
| Robbie_Crash | and ader10 why not do df? | 03:13 |
| Pelo | ader10, menu > ystem> admin > system monitor , last tab | 03:13 |
| jimmygoon | ader10, just type "df" in the terminal... and then it tells you the breakdown of your partitions | 03:14 |
| tanath | ader10, you can already see how much space is used per partition. | 03:14 |
| jimmygoon | haha answer-assault | 03:14 |
| tanath | if you use df, use df -h for human readable | 03:14 |
| ader10 | You're all missing the point :P | 03:14 |
| thresher | 181 users and no one is talkin pelo | 03:14 |
| Robbie_Crash | what point? | 03:14 |
| jimmygoon | or Applications->Accessories->Disk Usage Analyzer | 03:14 |
| Robbie_Crash | you want to see how much disk space there is | 03:14 |
| Cereal | Okay, So I've installed Gparted (trying to format my External HDD) but the drives on it seems to be locked O.o How do I "unlock" it? | 03:14 |
| Robbie_Crash | do df | 03:14 |
| Pelo | thresher, I think you just need to say what card you have and that you are having trouble getting effects to work properly, you can then review your driver situtation with them and the xgl stuff as well | 03:14 |
| jimmygoon | OR you can go to "Computer" and right click on the Windows drive icon and goto Properties | 03:14 |
| ader10 | Way to shoot down a suggestion in a matter of seconds, I'm just saying one of the few reasons | 03:14 |
| Robbie_Crash | or umount /media/windows and then check your disk usage through whatever gui you use | 03:14 |
| |juan| | frkn compiz :( | 03:14 |
| Pelo | thresher, and not all channel are as busy as this one | 03:15 |
| |juan| | the youtube video looked so awesome :( | 03:15 |
| tanath | or subtract the space used in /media/windows from the total | 03:15 |
| Phil2 | Hello; how do I download an application (wifi-radar) and it's dependencies from one computer and put it onto another computer (that doesn't have networking) | 03:15 |
| Pelo | thresher, I what problems did you have with the restrictred driver ? | 03:15 |
| Cereal | Okay, So I've installed Gparted (trying to format my External HDD) but the drives on it seems to be locked O.o How do I "unlock" it? | 03:15 |
| jimmygoon | ader10, the benefits of mounting drives as directories far outweigh the opposite, heck you can even do it in windows even you dig deep enough (in the mmc) | 03:15 |
| dahitokiri | |juan|, link to youtube vid? | 03:15 |
| RoshanK | !sound | 03:15 |
| 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 | 03:15 |
| Robbie_Crash | ader10 how can you get below root? root root? | 03:15 |
| jimmygoon | |juan|, whats not working? | 03:15 |
| tanath | miro keeps crashing when loading. can anyone help? here's the output: http://pastebin.com/d49025c1a | 03:15 |
| Robbie_Crash | and why would you want to, you'd just see a folder with all your stuff in it, it wouldn't help do what you're saying at all | 03:16 |
| tanath | important bit @ end | 03:16 |
| Pelo | Cereal, unmount it | 03:16 |
| ader10 | Guys, don't embarrass yourselves. stubborn fanboyism always leaves a bad mark | 03:16 |
| |juan| | jimmygoon: when i goto system >> preferences >> appearance >> visual effects and click any of the options besides 'None' my X restarts | 03:17 |
| Cereal | Pelo: Will I be able to format it then? | 03:17 |
| jimmygoon | ader10, lol, we gave like 8 reasons why its better... and there are still the SAME ways of checking freespace | 03:17 |
| Pelo | Cereal, you should | 03:17 |
| |juan| | jimmygoon: and dumps me at login | 03:17 |
| Pelo | Cereal, you'll need to create partitons and format those | 03:17 |
| ader10 | jimmygoon: I only saw one reason and I don't remember it. | 03:17 |
| jimmygoon | |juan|, graphics card? | 03:17 |
| Robbie_Crash | ader10 what do you mean by sub root? | 03:17 |
| |juan| | jimmygoon: nvidia geforce 6600gt | 03:17 |
| Robbie_Crash | like C: ? | 03:17 |
| Cereal | Pelo: Like unmount. Then mount it again? Right now there are to NTFS partitions on it. How do I delete them? | 03:17 |
| Pelo | Cereal, well basicaly , creating a partiton will ask for a format | 03:17 |
| nickrud | ader10, we're parrotting, true. But parrotting 30+ years of experience. Not fanboyism, I would think | 03:17 |
| Cereal | Pelo: So in Gparted I should unmount both of them or what? | 03:18 |
| ader10 | Funny how instead of asking me why I think that you tell me how to check the free space left in my linux partition. I wasn't asking how to do that. | 03:18 |
| jimmygoon | ader10, 1: you can still do it, 4 different ways .... one, terminal->"df" two, Applications->Accessories->Disk Usage Analyzer three, gnome-taskmanager rip off thing, four, goto "Computer" right click on the drive and do it just like you would in windows, plus all of the benefits of having drives mounted in folders | 03:18 |
| Pelo | Cereal, got gparted opened ? , select the drive, select the partiton, right ciick unmount, right click delete, | 03:18 |
| ader10 | jimmygoon: See what I just said | 03:18 |
| |juan| | jimmygoon: all the nvidia stuff is installed and i have both monitors setup with independent resolutions | 03:18 |
| Cereal | Pelo: Thanks a lot :D It worked ^ ^ | 03:18 |
| bazhang | ader10: please join #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:18 |
| sleepster | if Ghandi needed an OS... would he choose Ubuntu? | 03:19 |
| ader10 | bazhang: It's not an offtopic subject, it directly relates to linux. | 03:19 |
| Pelo | Cereal, of course it worked, did you thinK I would give you bad advice ? | 03:19 |
| jimmygoon | |juan|, oh, are you sure that xorg is using hte driver you installed? sorry I've not got much experience with the nitty gritty drive nonsense | 03:19 |
| |juan| | jimmygoon: Restricted Drivers - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver(latest cards) Enabled In Use | 03:19 |
| nickrud | sleepster, nah, slackware. He was into bare essentials | 03:19 |
| jimmygoon | |juan|, huh, see, I didn't even know you could get it to report that... where did it spit that out? | 03:19 |
| bazhang | ader10: this is not a chitchat channel--you are not asking for support; ergo, offtopic | 03:19 |
| archie1 | how do i switch to root mode? | 03:19 |

| Phil2 | Hello; how do I download an application (wifi-radar) and it's dependencies from one computer and put it onto another computer (that doesn't have networking) | 03:21 |
| infinitycircuit | koi, are other 3d effects working | 03:21 |
| jimmygoon | Edwardxp, those are different version of ubuntu | 03:21 |
| NewPiracy | what's the latest? mine is 2.6.22-14-generic | 03:21 |
| Edwardxp | why | 03:21 |
| Edwardxp | soo many | 03:21 |
| infinitycircuit | NewPiracy, that is the kernel in gutsy | 03:21 |
| koi | only thing that works is minimize effect | 03:22 |
| jimmygoon | Edwardxp, new version every 6 months | 03:22 |
| bazhang | NewPiracy: you are up to date | 03:22 |
| Edwardxp | why | 03:22 |
| infinitycircuit | NewPiracy, hardy has 2.6.24-2-generic | 03:22 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, sorry, I looked and I've never seen it do that :/ | 03:22 |
| NewPiracy | hmmm, i c ... i guess it has a bug with intel onboard videocards | 03:22 |
| Edwardxp | is my 7.10 outdated? | 03:22 |
| tanath | Edwardxp, there's a release every 6 months. the last names have been 'dapper', 'edgy', and now 'gutsy' | 03:22 |
| koi | the normal stuff was working before i installed the settings manager | 03:22 |
| crdlb | tanath: you forgot feisty :p | 03:22 |
| infinitycircuit | Edwardxp, feisty in between edgy and gutsy | 03:22 |
| tanath | jimmygoon, :( i can't get it working anymore | 03:22 |
| |juan| | why would X just crash/restart at the launch of visual effects? | 03:22 |
| tanath | crdlb, oops, i did :/ | 03:22 |
| Edwardxp | how do i know which one i have? | 03:22 |
| |juan| | 3d rendering is on | 03:23 |
| |juan| | videos look awesome | 03:23 |
| NewPiracy | infinitycircuit: hardy? | 03:23 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, did something in particular, that you noticed, trigger it to not work anymore? | 03:23 |
| scguy318 | Edwardxp: lsb_release -a | 03:23 |
| infinitycircuit | NewPiracy, Hardy Heron the development release of ubuntu | 03:23 |
| tanath | jimmygoon, prolly upgrading to gutsy | 03:23 |
| nickrud | Phil2, take a look at apt-zip , you can get an app and it's dependencies with that | 03:23 |
| jimmygoon | |juan| compiz(-fusion) is trying to do something and crashes X.org maybe? | 03:23 |
| tanath | jimmygoon, been a while since i've used it, but i think that's what did it | 03:23 |
| Edwardxp | i have gusty | 03:23 |
| NewPiracy | infinitycircuit: oh, i c ... i hope it will add full support for intel cards | 03:23 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, oh, yeah... | 03:23 |
| Phil2 | nickrud: thanks | 03:23 |
| Varanger | |juan|: I have problems with visual effects and xv. I have transparent problems watching videos | 03:23 |
| Z1gfr0id3 | what installing for ubuntu not rpm? | 03:23 |
| Arrick | !screen | 03:23 |
| ubotu | screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 03:23 |
| infinitycircuit | NewPiracy, unless you have an intel 965 full support is already in gutsy | 03:23 |
| tanath | jimmygoon, i tried reinstalling java & python. no go | 03:24 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, I still don't know what to tell you outside of purging python and miro off your system and reinstalling both ... | 03:24 |
| NewPiracy | mine is intel 946gz | 03:24 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, heh, oh | 03:24 |
| tanath | jimmygoon, didn't purge miro though... | 03:24 |
| nickrud | !deb | Z1gfr0id3 | 03:24 |
| ubotu | Z1gfr0id3: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 03:24 |
| NewPiracy | infinitycircuit: i cant get direct rendering and i believe 3d accel isnt enabled either | 03:24 |
| robdig | Z1gfr0id3: apt-get it uses .deb | 03:24 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, well, you shouldn't realy have to | 03:24 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, but, I would update your repos and see if there is one for gutsy (if you didn't already) | 03:24 |
| Z1gfr0id3 | ;**** | 03:24 |
| NewPiracy | infinitycircuit: using driver i810 | 03:24 |
| tanath | jimmygoon, shouldn't be crashing either :P | 03:24 |
| nickrud | !synaptic | Z1gfr0id3 | 03:25 |
| ubotu | Z1gfr0id3: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 03:25 |
| Z1gfr0id3 | thankss all repondding.. | 03:25 |
| infinitycircuit | NewPiracy, what if you use the i915 driver | 03:25 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, just in case there is a difference between the feisty and the gutsy versions... | 03:25 |
| Shpook | tanath: is it miro that's not working? | 03:25 |
| tanath | jimmygoon, er, it's from the gutsy repo | 03:25 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, or not... ha | 03:25 |
| tanath | jimmygoon, it was installed originally as democracyplayer :P | 03:25 |
| tanath | Shpook, yep | 03:25 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, hm, I dunna then... | 03:25 |
| NewPiracy | infinitycircuit: hmmm, just switch driver name at xorg.conf? | 03:25 |
| infinitycircuit | NewPiracy, use the generic name "intel" in xorg.conf and it should use i915 | 03:25 |
| rhayabusa22 | hey where's the cream filling | 03:25 |
| Arrick | ok, whats the package name for screen now? | 03:25 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, see, I've had that installed before, but I manage to reinstall every 3-5 months due to hard drive failure, dropping my laptop, or a new version of ubuntu coming out... :P | 03:26 |
| sleepster | can ubuntu mount NTFS partitions | 03:26 |
| koi | yeah when i click to open the compiz settings manager nothing happens and the effects stopped working first time i tried | 03:26 |
| NewPiracy | infinitycircuit: i tried intel before, didn't work | 03:26 |
| nickrud | Arrick, screen | 03:26 |
| Shpook | tanath: it didn't work for me when I recently installed from the repos. I had to download from www.getmiro.com | 03:26 |
| tanath | jimmygoon, yeh, i don't reinstall, i upgrade | 03:26 |
| Arrick | lol nickrud Merry Christmas to you | 03:26 |
| jimmygoon | infinitycircuit, intel and i915 are different drivers they do different things | 03:26 |
| infinitycircuit | NewPiracy, ok well i don't know then i only have experience with my 855GM | 03:26 |
| Shpook | tanath: if it helps at all lol | 03:26 |
| NewPiracy | infinitycircuit: i'm having problems with awn, that's why i would like to enable direct rendering | 03:26 |
| nickrud | Arrick, and to you too, you been gone for a bit | 03:26 |
| tanath | Shpook, hm... i guess i'll try that, though i prefer to use the repo versions. :/ | 03:26 |
| Z1gfr0id3 | pre config squid download exists? | 03:26 |
| infinitycircuit | jimmygoon, really...i never knew that | 03:26 |
| jimmygoon | infinitycircuit, thats what I have (i think) | 03:26 |
| fsanlu | i have a few questions about the wifi: when im connected wired i have no problems, but during wifi i get cut off from time to time. when i enabled my wifi card i had to go thru the restricted drivers to let the firmware be enabled. is it possible that this is the cause of the unstable-ness of my wifi? and if so, are there any other ways i can enable it? i looked thru the wiki's already and followed everything, and for some reason NOTHIN | 03:27 |
| fsanlu | G seems wrong, but that d/c's i get. any thoughts anyone? | 03:27 |
| Arrick | not gone, just not in the channel nickrud | 03:27 |

| rhayabusa22 | exit | 03:27 |
| rhayabusa22 | lo | 03:27 |
| infinitycircuit | jimmygoon, well i know i915 is the kernel driver but i believe xorg uses intel to refer to it | 03:27 |
| nickrud | !info squid | Z1gfr0id3 | 03:27 |

| jimmygoon | infinitycircuit, yeah, like intel outputs to the vga-out by default (always) and weird little things like that if I remember right.... one time I had been trying to get my laptop to work with another monitor (to no avail) | 03:27 |
| infinitycircuit | jimmygoon, thanks for the info | 03:27 |
| sleepster | anyone know if Ubuntu can mount NTFS partitions | 03:27 |
| jimmygoon | infinitycircuit, hm, maybe I'm confused. the day I tried to get that working I had installed all kinds of crap and ended up just getting angry | 03:28 |
| Phil2 | How do I use apt-zip; the how to for it is unavailable. | 03:28 |
| tanath | Shpook, jimmygoon, ah they have their own repo for gutsy... | 03:28 |
| jimmygoon | sleepster, sure can | 03:28 |
| robdig | Z1gfr0id3: yup sudo apt-get install squid | 03:28 |
| jimmygoon | tanath, yeah, thats what I was saying :) | 03:28 |
| nickrud | !ntfs | sleepster | 03:28 |
| ubotu | sleepster: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 03:28 |
| fsanlu | sleepster: yes, and u can use the ntfs config tool so you can write too | 03:28 |
| NewPiracy | infinitycircuit: is there a way to explicitly invoke direct rendering in xorg.conf? | 03:28 |
| jimmygoon | is hardy going to have ntfs-3g built in? | 03:28 |
| Z1gfr0id3 | robdig thank | 03:28 |

| tanath | Shpook, er, on the other hand, despite the fact that i have the repo in there, when i reinstall miro it pulls it from the gutsy repo | 03:33 |
| wers | what file contains the groups? | 03:34 |
| Shpook | tanath: I think I read one time a way to give certain repos priority if multiple repos contain the same package | 03:34 |
| tanath | Shpook, erm, nvm... i just updated & now it's pulling it from the miro repo... will let you know if it works | 03:34 |
| wers | i deleted some user accounts but i think there are conflict with the groups | 03:34 |
| Shpook | tanath: okay, ty | 03:34 |
| lwizardl | anyone here have a digiwave 103g card and using it on ubuntu? | 03:35 |
| tanath | Shpook, you can do that in synaptic easy enough. Ctrl+E on the pkg | 03:35 |
| Edwardxp | i know this directory exist apache2-default/ and locate apache2-default/doesn't work.... can't find it | 03:35 |
| tanath | Shpook, woohoo, it appears to be working :D | 03:35 |
| tanath | Shpook, the miro repo version | 03:36 |
| Josspyker | Edwardxp: slocate -u | 03:36 |
| nickrud | Edwardxp, you mean /var/www/apache2-default ? | 03:36 |
| koi | so for compiz-fusion what packages should i have installed | 03:36 |
| Shpook | tanath: ctrl-e is much easier lol. | 03:36 |
| Shpook | tanath: good! repo it is then. :-) | 03:37 |
| Edwardxp | whats' var stand for? | 03:37 |
| Shpook | edwardxp: variable. JS? | 03:37 |
| nickrud | variable, it's system data that is not static | 03:37 |
| Edwardxp | oo | 03:37 |
| Shpook | Edwardxp: are you looking into making a javascript script? | 03:37 |
| Edwardxp | /var/www/apache2-default/index.html', overriding mode 0644? | 03:38 |
| tanath | Shpook, yep, working fine now. and i find ctrl+e handy. instead of messing with priorities you just 'force version' for whichever package you want, it synaptic/apt handles the rest | 03:38 |
| Edwardxp | why did i get prompt that.. when i mv the file? | 03:38 |

| Shpook | dahitokiri: no problem, there are some very good games for Linux. America's Army is one of the better ones. | 03:41 |
| dahitokiri | Shpook, i don't really like FPS games | 03:41 |
| techqbert | is it okay to torrent a file to an nfs share? nfs share is openfiler distro with raid 1 array in ext3 | 03:41 |

| matt_ | i'm using ubuntu right now, however i'm considering debian. I've never used it before, I was just wondering if anyone has any opinion on this. | 03:42 |
| Swaninacar | I have an eye-candy question: when i try to change my visual effects settings to normal in appearance settings, i get a "the composite extension is not available error" | 03:43 |
| bazhang | ask in #debian or in #ubuntu-offtopic matt_ | 03:43 |
| Shpook | Okay, upgrade is done, goodnight everyone. | 03:43 |
| matt_ | so any comparisons of ubuntu and debian? Does debian perform better/faster? does it have more stuff in the repos? someone break it down for me here! | 03:44 |
| bazhang | Swaninacar: you have ccsm installed? | 03:44 |
| pvl | matt_: ubuntu is a debian based linux | 03:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | matt_: 6 on one hand, half dozen on the other if you ask me... i like the both | 03:44 |
| pvl | correct me if im wrong anyone | 03:44 |
| matt_ | pvl: i understand that...but just wondering if debian is "better" | 03:44 |
| Swaninacar | ccsm? i don't know what it is, so probably not | 03:44 |
| Arrick | whats the syntax to install all of these with the same command? apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server | 03:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | pvl: no, it is, but there's differences.. ubuntu's repositories will generally be updated more regularly | 03:45 |
| pvl | matt_ when u say that, it depends on what ur looking for | 03:45 |
| matt_ | IndyGunFreak: alright, but which do you use now? for your main | 03:45 |
| matt_ | pvl: performance mainly. | 03:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | matt_: both... Debian Etch on my laptop, Ubuntu Gutsy on my PC | 03:45 |
| bazhang | !ccsm > Swaninacar read the message from the bot | 03:45 |
| === anthony is now known as tonyyarusso | ||
| IndyGunFreak | matt_: if your'e comfortable w/ Ubuntu, Debian will be quite familiar to you, and vice versa. | 03:45 |
| pvl | matt_, from what i understand, there isnt much differences, although i suppose since ubuntu is more active, that it would have better suited drivers for your computer | 03:45 |
| matt_ | IndyGunFreak: alright...what about the repos for debian...are they any better? Do they update more? | 03:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | matt_: no.. | 03:46 |
| Thorsten11 | nope | 03:46 |
| Josspyker | off topic go for arch linux | 03:46 |
| {Nathan} | matt_: Basically, Ubuntu is easier. In my ventures, debian is harder to use and install (but is by no means a Gentoo) and Ubuntu is just incredibly simple | 03:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | matt_: ubuntu, is basically Debian, with eye candy.. | 03:46 |
| matt_ | IndyGunFreak: pvl so are you all saying i should just stick with my gutsy? | 03:46 |
| {Nathan} | matt_: I'd say the repos are about the same. | 03:46 |
| bazhang | matt_: plus the support is far superior | 03:46 |
| matt_ | {Nathan}: i was thinking that, so therefore i was thinking that perhaps debian has better performance. | 03:47 |
| pvl | matt_, i am | 03:47 |
| Swaninacar | bazhang: i'll follow those instuctions and get back | 03:47 |
| hanasakiRemote | is there a package for ipcop? | 03:47 |
| matt_ | bazhang: for ubuntu? | 03:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | {Nathan}: i don't know, it took a long time for(for example), Pidgin to get into the Debian repos... | 03:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | same with the new versionof Gimp | 03:47 |
| {Nathan} | IndyGunFreak: It depends on what version you are running. For Lenny, sure it will take a while. Testing and unstable, not so much | 03:47 |
| bazhang | matt_: indeed; visit the #debian channel and see for yourself | 03:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | matt_: do whatever you want, one thing for sure though, go to #debian, they are straight pricks.... #ubuntu is far friendlier | 03:47 |
| matt_ | IndyGunFreak: {Nathan} it also took a while for pidgin to get to ubuntu | 03:47 |
| pvl | hey what do the green things next to topic names in the forum mean? | 03:47 |

| matt_ | bazhang: IndyGunFreak wow...its getting late...i thought i was on the #debian channel. | 03:48 |
| bazhang | matt_: hahaha | 03:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | matt_: if you haven't seen the f-word in the last 10-15 sentences, you will always know you're not in #debian | 03:48 |
| koi | hey, is the guy who has compiz-fusion running on intel 915 still here/ | 03:49 |
| matt_ | {Nathan}: bazhang IndyGunFreak pvl alright, thank you all, i'll check out the debian channel, where i thought i were already ;) | 03:49 |
| Arrick | you mean in the channels pvl ? they are operators or in chanservs case, chanel guards | 03:49 |

| {Nathan} | It's made for my phone btw | 03:51 |
| LegionaryK | is it just me or are the ubuntu forums really laggy right now | 03:51 |
| ushdfgakk | ubuntu??? more like mozambique | 03:51 |
| lwizardl | how can i set my login to auto login my user? | 03:52 |
| koi | i'm trying to install compiz-fusion and i get the error saying that compiz depends on compiz-decorator | 03:52 |
| koi | what repositories/sources do i have to add to get that package/ | 03:52 |
| Swaninacar | bazhang: just to check, is ccsm supposed to be a replacement for the visual effects settings? if yes, how do i solve the problem of "unavailable composite extension" so i don't run into it again | 03:52 |
| Arrick | whats the modern day version of something like the old webmin? | 03:52 |
| LegionaryK | since the forums are so slow, can anyone tell me where to disable a wireless interface? | 03:53 |
| bazhang | Swaninacar: that will be the new preferences setting mechanism yes; installing it will solve those issues iirc | 03:53 |
| demonspork | whenever I select my Ubuntu Gutsy from the GRUB menu it goes to a screen saying that it 'cannot mount the selected partition.' I have run fsck on the partition and it found no errors. What can I do? it happened after a power outage shut down the computer unexpectedly. My other Ubuntu system and both Windows still boot correctly. | 03:53 |
| NolanG | Anyone know of any recent Ubuntu (Gutsy) updates that have broken software such as VirtualBox? As of a few days ago, VirtualBox now segfaults on me - I've not installed or really even used the system since it last worked. | 03:54 |
| thresher | what is the compiz support irc? | 03:54 |
| ushdfgakk | virtualbox? more like seagulls | 03:54 |
| Phil2 | Great; so I'm back - I didn't read that apt-zip needs to be installed on two systems for it to work. | 03:54 |

| the_darkside_986 | i'm on Ubuntu Gutsy. it rocks. but i can't figure out a way to unzip all RAR files in a single folder all at once without having to click on each one. any ideas? | 03:55 |
| Phil2 | Unfortunately; - it isn't, and I don't know how to install it on the other system. | 03:55 |
| Phil2 | I'm trying to install wifi-radar onto a non-networked computer; someone told me to use apt-zip; to bad it isn't on the other computer. | 03:55 |
| Phil2 | Perhaps apt-double-zip? (sarcasm) | 03:55 |
| te_ | demonspork: Have you tried single user mode yet? | 03:56 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | can someone tell me what this is about? http://pastebin.com/m6e7fab78 | 03:56 |
| hanasakiRemote | is there anyway to add ipcop to an existing gutsy install? | 03:56 |
| Swaninacar | bazhang: i installed it, but none of the effects seem to be working, nor does it take care of the composite extensions error | 03:57 |
| te_ | Phil2: Any reason it's "non-networked"? | 03:57 |
| bazhang | iptables config hanasakiRemote? | 03:57 |
| Phil2 | te_: I need to install wifi-radar. | 03:57 |
| bazhang | Swaninacar: then it is a video card driver issue | 03:57 |
| Phil2 | te_: to bad I need to be networked to install it; eh? | 03:57 |
| demonspork | te_, it fails with a "Cannot mount selected partition" whenever I use any boot option. The things I have tried are as follows: fsck, I have checked the uuid, I have attempted to use a boot CD I made for the partition a while back, only to get the same error. | 03:57 |
| Swaninacar | bazhang: which probably means i'm out of luck? | 03:58 |
| danroj | enter by see my desktop apple :D http://www.gfc.edu.co/~danroj/red.png | 03:58 |
| NolanG | I have new information: The segfaults seem to affect QT3 apps, including VirtualBox. Thoughts on what could have made that happen all of the sudden? | 03:58 |
| danroj | and coment | 03:58 |
| danroj | :D | 03:58 |
| demonspork | te_, the partition mounts normally and had no errors under inspection by fsck | 03:58 |
| bazhang | Swaninacar: dont give up so easily :} what card and what driver, installed from where | 03:58 |
| Phil2 | danroj: way to red. | 03:59 |

I know how to run ./config make make install but I'm not sure how to take a program installed in that way off my machine. Is there a way I can turn the tar.gz source into a debian package? | 04:00 |
| Evolution2 | hey guys, I keep getting this "cannot mount external drive error. and appearently I have to force it because it seems to be in generic mode. I don't have windows to do a safely remove. help please | 04:00 |

| Edwardxp | so what do you guys think of my site so far? | 04:00 |
| Swaninacar | bazhang: thanks, haha. radeon X300. when i use the default driver, i get lots of gnome issues, but the extra effects work. when I use the driver that the restricted drivers manager suggests, an ATI driver, no more gnome errors, but effects break | 04:01 |

| robdig | gerzel: you can, but it takes some work. you can also look at the makefile, if they have an uninstall target that is properly written, doing make uninstall should get rid of it. | 04:02 |
| |chiz| | Ok, so I have everything working quite well gutsy/compiz/aiglx/fglrx but opengl apps don't run very smoothly, they flicker and there is no window border. Any insight? | 04:02 |
| Phil2 | Anyone know how to make a .deb package that I can install on another system? | 04:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | CyberMad: why not just buy a video card, instead of a motherboard? | 04:03 |
| CyberMad | ok, thank you | 04:03 |
| arooni_ | can someone help me get my motorola s9 bluetooth headphones working with gutsy? i've read a lot of cos but they're ont helpful | 04:03 |
| demonspork | te_, no it has not been changed since almost 2 weeks before the incident | 04:03 |
| bazhang | the_darkside_986: you trying to join a bunch of smaller rar files into a bigger file of some sort? just clicking on the first file should join it up | 04:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | Phil2: is it a program you're compiling? | 04:03 |
| Swaninacar | bazhang: it's an okay card. it wasn't my choice, i'm resurrecting a crapped out computer | 04:03 |
| te_ | you chould boot from the CD and chroot to it and then re-install the kernel. (There must be something wrong with the kernel.) | 04:03 |
| the_darkside_986 | @bazhang no these are all separate rar files that are not joined together :( | 04:03 |
| Phil2 | IndyGunFreak: Yeah; either wifi-radar or apt-zip | 04:03 |
| the_darkside_986 | so i was looking for a way to easily extract them all at once via the bash shell | 04:03 |

| Thorsten11 | i just saved a crapped out computer myself lol | 04:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | Phil2: i *think* when you're compiling, if you run make-check, before make install... or maybe before make, it will create a .deb file. | 04:04 |

| te_ | demonspork: That is, if you are sure that grub is pointing to the partition that contains the kernel it needs to boot. | 04:04 |
| bazhang | Swaninacar: I got it :} | 04:04 |

| IndyGunFreak | dave_: oh ok.... i understand now. i've never had that problem... what do you have your resolution set at? | 04:10 |
| Thorsten11 | shm613: like te_ said | 04:10 |

| dave_ | 1280x1024 ironically nvidia's own tool works to fix it....but if you try and install it you break the restricted driver | 04:11 |
| fredders | !cock | 04:11 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:11 |
| fredders | too bad | 04:11 |
| shm613 | te_: i get a unknown command "linksys" message | 04:11 |
| dave_ | IndyGunFreak 1280x1024 ironically nvidia's own tool works to fix it....but if you try and install it you break the restricted driver | 04:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | dave_: i have nvidia's tol installed just fine. | 04:11 |
| lwizardl | is there anyway to auto login on ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| robdig | gerzel: it should look similar to the install target, except it should be removing files instead of copying/moving them | 04:11 |
| Edwardxp | xmms is pimping out on my server :) | 04:11 |
| gerzel | robdig: Ok thanks | 04:12 |
| nickrud | lwizardl, system->admin->login window , security tab | 04:12 |
| demonspork | te_, http://pastebin.com/m16d52a5 my menu.lst | 04:12 |
| te_ | shm613: First give command: iwconfig [with no arguments] and see what it says. | 04:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | how did you go about installing your nvidia driver dave_ | 04:12 |
| pvl | are there keys to grab the screen toards virtual screens? | 04:12 |
| dave_ | IndyGunFreak strange when I try to install nvidia-config it wants to remove the driver | 04:12 |
| gerzel | robdig: On second thought I'll be patient and give them a little while to get a debian or ubuntu package up. Apparently they are pestering someone at Ubuntu to do it. | 04:12 |
| robdig | gerzel: cool. definitely easier that way :) | 04:13 |
| dave_ | IndyGunFreak I did the enable restricted driver and let it handle the apt-get work | 04:13 |

| rushmarine | hello | 04:15 |
| dave_ | IndyGunFreak the driver installs fine and enables.............but it doesnt seem to have the nvida tool installed.....going to the "Screens and Graphics" to do it results in virtual desktops or bulletproof X when I try and fenable the 2nd monitor | 04:15 |
| lukewarm | !hi > rushmarine | 04:15 |
| |chiz| | lwizardl, you can auto logon | 04:15 |
| rushmarine | how r u | 04:15 |
| rushmarine | where u from? | 04:15 |
| the_darkside_986 | i'm off to play Frets on Fire again. Thanks everyone here for all their help and support. Ubuntu rox! bye bye | 04:15 |
| Swaninacar | bazhang: thanks for your help, i used a different driver, it all works brilliantly | 04:15 |
| |chiz| | lwizardl, its in System > Logon Window | 04:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | dave_: very strange, don't think i've ever had that prob, what video card? | 04:16 |
| lwizardl | chiz, yeah i got that already | 04:16 |
| bazhang | swanincar nicework1 | 04:16 |
| dave_ | IndyGunFreak I then go into synapytic to install the tool and it wants to remove the nvidia(newest) driver.......GeForce 6200 | 04:16 |
| demonspork | dave_, it is already installed | 04:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | dave_: see, nvidia-settings has always been installed when i enable restricted... | 04:17 |
| demonspork | dave_, it installs with the driver | 04:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | dave_: open a terminal and type "gksudo nvidia-settings" | 04:17 |
| shm613 | te_: The first line has ESSID:"HOME" Nickname:"Broadcom 4211" | 04:17 |
| dave_ | ok..............so I just need to go to the terminal ......I didnt see it populate a menu | 04:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | dave_: yes, open a terminal, gksudo nvidia-settings | 04:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | you can add it to the menu if you like | 04:18 |
| te_ | demonspork: menu.lst has errors | 04:18 |
| rushmarine | am new on this thing can tell me how can i watch the video form the internet | 04:18 |
| rushmarine | cuz loooks like need some flash player | 04:18 |
| bazhang | rushmarine: flash? | 04:18 |
| lwizardl | anyone use a twinhan dvb card in ubuntu? | 04:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | rushmarine: well there's a lot of videos on the internet, what format is it. | 04:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !flashissues | 04:19 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 04:19 |
| rushmarine | cuz every time when i wanna see a video i have to download the file | 04:19 |
| jubilee | Hey, When I play Open Arena, like 40 min to an hour into the game open arena exits full screen into a window, all of the colors on the screen change and everything stops working... what is this from??? | 04:19 |
| jubilee | I can't quit anything when it happens | 04:19 |
| dave_ | well dont I feel like the fool.....since Ive been using Linux since Suse 4.0.......but this is the first Ive let the OS install nvidia driver | 04:19 |
| demonspork | te_, the errors are commented out, correct? | 04:19 |
| dave_ | thanks | 04:19 |
| demonspork | te_, are there any errors with the first boot option? | 04:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | dave_: lol, no p-rob, th ats why i c9ouldn't understand your problem | 04:19 |
| bazhang | jubilee: ut3? | 04:19 |
| k31th | dave_: you on about nvidia driver for ubuntu | 04:19 |
| crush_groove | dave_, happens to all of us | 04:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | dave_: you can make a menu entry for it if you like, i did, just cuz i like to have it handy | 04:20 |
| k31th | should work fine, unless you want latest | 04:20 |
| jubilee | bazhang, Open Arena, quake 3 engine | 04:20 |
| dave_ | K3ith yes...think I got it worked out tho | 04:20 |
| rushmarine | tahnk you pple | 04:20 |
| rushmarine | ppl | 04:20 |
| dave_ | IndyGunFreak I always do that, along with one for Nautilus in super user mode | 04:21 |
| te_ | demonspork: Line 131 "root (hd0,2)" Should be: "root (hd0,5)" (From the partition info on: It appears that /dev/sda4 is the bootable partition on that first drive). | 04:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | dave_: yup, its handy | 04:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | i do the same | 04:21 |
| jeff__ | how can I get flash to work... | 04:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | jeff__: download it from adobe, compile it, and it will work fine | 04:21 |
| jeff__ | indy gun freak. | 04:22 |
| jeff__ | are you in indy? | 04:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | no... | 04:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 04:22 |
| Myrtti | IndyGunFreak: compile? ;-) | 04:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dave how are you running it in su mode? | 04:22 |
| jeff__ | oh okay | 04:22 |
| jubilee | bazhang, it only happens when I'm playing a long time, and also, I can play it on OS X and multiplayer works perfectly, but under Gusty it tells me there are connection problems during the match for about 90% of the game... | 04:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | Myrtti: well, maybe *compile* is stretching it... run the installer that you download from adobe. | 04:22 |
| Smegzor | Where do programs store their preferences? I moved my podcasts from Rhythmbox and want to update it so it can see the files in their new location. | 04:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | jeff__: sorry, bad humor, yes I'm in Indy.... BeechGrove gto be specific(suburb of Indpls) | 04:22 |
| te_ | demonspork: Change (hd0,2) to (hd0,5) on line 131 and that shoud do the trick. | 04:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | guess he didn't care...lol | 04:23 |
| LegionaryK | advice to people with wifi probs, it not always enough to disable an interface, you might need to physically remove it and reboot the system before the interfaces stop interferring. | 04:23 |
| dave_ | Jack I havent gotten that far yet...........Im loading into my menu "gksudo nvidia-settings -g" | 04:23 |
| Myrtti | IndyGunFreak: better :-) newbs are afraid of compiling. | 04:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 04:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | yeah, i know.. been there done that | 04:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dave np | 04:23 |
| Darriou1 | Hello | 04:23 |
| robdig | hi | 04:24 |
| shm613 | te_: I also have the Frequency is not the same as my router's frequency and Access Point: Invalid | 04:24 |
| Darriou1 | I'm having problems actually trying to get my NVIDIA card working with ubuntu at ALL | 04:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | Darriou1: have you enabled the restricted driver? | 04:25 |
| Darriou1 | Yep | 04:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok, so whast wrong? | 04:25 |
| Darriou1 | I also have an integrated intel card | 04:25 |
| demonspork | te_, that same error is on the next two boot options as well, or is that an error? | 04:25 |
| bazhang | jubilee: google yields nada--you could post in the forums or wait here for an answer | 04:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | Darriou1: whats that got to do with anything? | 04:26 |
| Darriou1 | Well, the problem is that whenever I boot into UBUNTU it goes and just doesn't even boot | 04:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darriou1: If yui have not disabled your onboard card it could be causing problems | 04:26 |
| Darriou1 | I have | 04:26 |
| Darriou1 | That's what is odd to me | 04:26 |
| te_ | demonspork: The other boot options are wrong as well. | 04:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | Darriou1: is this a live CD, or have you installed? | 04:26 |
| Darriou1 | I can't even get the live cd to work, and when I use a command line to install, when I boot into it, it does the same thing as the live CD | 04:27 |
| demonspork | hmm | 04:27 |
| Darriou1 | I've got an NVIDIA GeForce 5200 | 04:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | Darriou1: i assume by *command line* you mean the text based install?.. Alternate Install CD? | 04:28 |
| Darriou1 | Yeah | 04:28 |
| te_ | demonspork: line 137: change (hd0,2 to (hd0,5) | 04:28 |
| jubilee | k | 04:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darriou1: When you use the command line to install? Are you using the alternate install cd or some wubi vm something or other | 04:28 |
| Darriou1 | It works with WIndows fine though | 04:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | Darriou1: you obviously have some hardware issues other than the nvidia card | 04:28 |
| demonspork | te_, why would this happen if I haven't changed the menu.lst file, how can I fix it without changing the file | 04:29 |
| ushdfgakk | trying so hard to not smoke < ubuntu | 04:29 |
| demonspork | te_, because my other Linux OS and the windows booloader still work | 04:29 |
| Darriou1 | Well, it works just fine when I switch to my integrated card | 04:29 |
| ushdfgakk | "menu.lst?" more like "shutup.ihateyou" lol? | 04:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | ushdfgakk: what do you mean? | 04:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ushdfgakk: behave | 04:29 |
| ward_ | Evening all | 04:29 |
| Darriou1 | and I used just an option that had come with the actuall cd | 04:29 |
| * ushdfgakk dies | 04:30 | |
| * ushdfgakk bleeds out ebola-style | 04:30 | |
| ushdfgakk | look out!??! | 04:30 |
| Darriou1 | It's not that big of a deal I suppose, but I'd really like to get my dual display up and running | 04:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darriou1: What option.. there is no text install on the livecd | 04:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: thats what i was just trying to figure out. | 04:30 |
| te_ | demonspork: line 157: change (hd0,4) to (hd0,6) | 04:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | Darriou1: the alternate install, is a completely different download... | 04:30 |
| Darriou1 | One of my friends gave me a disk that siad something like install with command line or something like that | 04:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darriou1: Plus, you said you disabled the onboard, but are trying to get it to work... something does not add up | 04:31 |
| fladd | hi there! I really need some help!!! can anyone tell me, why I cannot use update-grub, after I did chroot? | 04:31 |
| shm613 | is there a way to set the Access Point value to the MAC of the router for a wireless card? | 04:31 |
| unbeatabl | can you NFS a harddrive partition from a windows machine? | 04:31 |
| Darriou1 | There is a setting in my bios | 04:31 |
| demonspork | te_, that still changes the file? | 04:31 |
| fladd | oh, i am talking about the live cd btw | 04:31 |
| Sonja | is anybody german in here?? | 04:31 |
| te_ | demonspork: I'm just guessing really. Would have to see what's really there in the /boot directories on those partitions, sda4 and sda5 and sdb2 | 04:32 |
| Darriou1 | that says peripherals and it switches between Intel Integrated and PCI Express slot | 04:32 |

| dowlings | thanks | 04:34 |
| Arrick | hey all, is SELinux enabled by default in 6.06.1? | 04:35 |
| te_ | demonspork: Here's the deal, grub refers to hda or sda as hd0 and hdb or sdb as hd1 and same with partitions. Therefore, /dev/hda1 to grub is (hd0,0) .... sda4=(hd0,5) sda5=(hd0,6) sdb2=(hd1,3) | 04:35 |
| Arrick | I have a LAMP install, and I cant edit permissions for some reason on the /var/www/ files | 04:35 |
| nickrud | te_, you added instead of subtracted on the partitions there | 04:36 |
| bazhang | Arrick: no | 04:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | Arrick: why ar eyou messin with 6.06? | 04:36 |
| zcode | hi | 04:36 |
| te_ | nickrud: you might be right.... | 04:36 |
| Myrtti | IndyGunFreak: lts? | 04:36 |
| Arrick | bazhang what could stop the root user from being able to change permissions? | 04:36 |
| Arrick | IndyGunFreak LTS, and its a server install? | 04:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | Arrick: ok... in that instance i guess i could understand. | 04:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | Myrtti: i guess i'm used to keeping up with the ubuntu release cycle. | 04:37 |
| bazhang | Arrick: not sure of your question? have you changed permissions somehow? | 04:37 |
| te_ | nickrud is correct. I was wrong. | 04:37 |
| te_ | demonspork: I was wrong. | 04:38 |
| te_ | demonspork: menu.lst is not in error. | 04:38 |
| jason___ | anyone here willing to help a Linux noob with a sound problem so he can stop using WinXP? | 04:38 |
| thresher | Can anyone suggest the best MAIL POP application that compares to Outlook ? | 04:38 |
| te_ | demonspork: Not sure what the problem is. Accept that there may be something wrong with the kernel you are trying to boot. | 04:38 |
| cyborg | hunre | 04:38 |
| thresher | Evolution and Thunderbird... | 04:38 |
| ushdfgakk | how many manpages must a man read before you can call him a man??? | 04:39 |
| Arrick | bazhang i would like to change the permissions to 775 on a bunch of directories and such, but it wont change them, with sudo chmod 775 /blah or with running as root, and running chmod 775 /blah | 04:39 |
| bazhang | ushdfgakk: you have a real question? | 04:39 |
| nickrud | ushdfgakk, one. dpkg | 04:39 |
| shm613 | Does anyone know if a RJ-11 would get a eth label in iwconfig? | 04:39 |
| te_ | demonspork: You could chroot to that partition /dev/sda4 and try to re-install the kernel... I guess, but other than that I don' know | 04:39 |
| ushdfgakk | i liked nickrud's answer better | 04:39 |
| * ushdfgakk awards nickrud ten points | 04:39 | |
| bio | I just made a mint install of edgy-generic | 04:39 |
| bazhang | offtopic ushdfgakk | 04:40 |
| te_ | shm613: RJ-11 ? | 04:40 |
| Myrtti | !offtopic | ushdfgakk | 04:40 |
| te_ | shm613: You mean an ethernet port? | 04:40 |
| ubotu | ushdfgakk: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 04:40 |

| bio | then I did a distribution upgrade and I can't get the new kernels to boot | 04:40 |
| te_ | shm613: You mean an ethernet port? (as opposed to a wireless nic? | 04:40 |
| nickrud | thresher, you mentioned them both already | 04:40 |
| bio | any ideas? | 04:40 |
| * ushdfgakk mutters | 04:40 | |
| bazhang | Arrick: wols is the one to ask about that--he should be by later | 04:40 |
| ushdfgakk | Only on IRC | 04:40 |
| * ushdfgakk me me | 04:40 | |
| jason___ | i like thunderbird with the right extensions i find it better than Outlook | 04:40 |
| thresher | nickrud: thanks | 04:40 |
| Myrtti | ushdfgakk: if you've got nothing else, move along | 04:40 |
| shm613 | te_: the ethernet port is RJ-45 RJ-11 would be the phone line port | 04:40 |
| ushdfgakk | ok how about this | 04:41 |
| bazhang | ushdfgakk: please stop | 04:41 |
| ushdfgakk | why won't my NTFS drive mount on my dual boot | 04:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bio: Seems to happen alot to people that had tried automatix or envy scripts....both bad ideas by the way | 04:41 |
| ushdfgakk | it only mounts in read-only | 04:41 |
| nickrud | !ntfs-3g | ushdfgakk | 04:41 |
| ubotu | ushdfgakk: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 04:41 |
| ushdfgakk | i installed it | 04:41 |
| bio | Jack_Sparrow, I just made a mint install and used the GUI in the panel | 04:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | ushdfgakk: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 04:41 |
| ushdfgakk | it's debian actually but | 04:41 |
| thresher | Does thunderbird handle calendar and does it by chance sync with yahoo? | 04:41 |
| obnockshus | hallo | 04:41 |
| ushdfgakk | it shouldn't be a distro-specific problem | 04:41 |
| shm613 | te_: I'm getting three labels from iwconfig lo, eth0, and eth1 | 04:41 |
| voice | hi | 04:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bio: Ask in mint.. but their support is almost non-existent | 04:42 |
| te_ | shm613: A phone line port will not be a network adapter so would not show in ifconfig nor will it show in iwconfig | 04:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | ushdfgakk: i don't know, i'm running gutsy, and my NTFS partition mounted automatically | 04:42 |
| jason___ | it handles a calendar with the lightning extension | 04:42 |
| bio | Jack_Sparrow, ask in mint? | 04:42 |
| ushdfgakk | well it's a separate drive | 04:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | bio: type "/join #linuxmint" w/o quotes | 04:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !mint | 04:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mint - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:42 |
| astro76 | bio, mint is a pointless version of Ubuntu that uses automatix, but I don't think that's what you mean ;) | 04:42 |
| bazhang | bio: #linuxmint.com not on freenode btw | 04:42 |
| jason___ | I don't use yahoo, but it does have remote calendars, i use mine to look at Google | 04:42 |
| te_ | shm613: You have a modem? And are trying to use the modem? Is that correct? | 04:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | there's a whole 6 users there. | 04:42 |
| bio | yeah, I just meant a fresh install | 04:43 |
| ushdfgakk | also how do i configure the complexity of what x-forwarding sends | 04:43 |
| shm613 | te_: no I'm trying to use the wireless card | 04:43 |
| ushdfgakk | slash the compression | 04:43 |
| te_ | shm613: Do you have more than one wireless nic? | 04:43 |
| jason___ | with the inclusion of the thunderbrowser, it makes a killer rss feed reader | 04:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: they have a channel on freenode, its just nobody ever talks in there | 04:43 |
| ushdfgakk | in ubuntu, that is | 04:43 |
| bio | everything works fine with this kernel, not sure which one it is... third on the list in grub now | 04:43 |
| astro76 | bio, any reason installing edgy instead of gutsy? | 04:43 |
| ushdfgakk | that one's an ubuntu problem | 04:43 |

| bio | astro76, just the disk that I had | 04:43 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: thanks! | 04:43 |
| shm613 | te_: no I only have one wireless NIC and a wired NIC | 04:43 |
| jason___ | plus, you can circumvent having to pay for pop access with yahoo with the webclient and yahoo extension in thunderbird | 04:43 |
| mac_ | hi guys | 04:44 |
| mac_ | got a doubt | 04:44 |
| bio | hi mac_ | 04:44 |
| jason___ | thunderbrowser is good for limited purpose | 04:44 |
| mac_ | hey bio | 04:44 |
| astro76 | bio, you tried to dist-upgrade from edgy to feisty then? | 04:44 |
| bazhang | what is it mac_ | 04:44 |
| bio | astro76, that's right | 04:44 |
| te_ | shameless: Ok, then the ethernet NIC will more than likely be eth0 | 04:44 |
| ushdfgakk | also my debian mini-iso won't even boot on my imac | 04:44 |
| te_ | shm613: ethernet NIC will more than likely be eth0 | 04:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | ushdfgakk: you do realize this is an ubuntu support channel don't you, take your mindless banter to off-topic | 04:45 |
| bazhang | ushdfgakk: they would know in #debian | 04:45 |
| te_ | shm613: what wireless nic do you have? | 04:45 |
| te_ | shm613: Is it fully supported? | 04:45 |
| mac_ | i have dell ubuntu system, there is a dellutility folder with dos files, whats that for | 04:45 |
| shm613 | te_: Broadcom 4311 | 04:45 |
| voice | my ubuntu cd isn't working properly. when i first used it i loaded into ubuntu fine, now when i load it it comes up with a command line, and reports it cant load "xfer"-something | 04:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bio: Ok.. Fresh Mint Install.... does not equal distribution upgrade... and three kernels listed...sorry, but very tired, good luck with that. | 04:45 |
| ushdfgakk | you call that mindless banter | 04:45 |
| te_ | shm613: what does iwconfig show for it? wlan0 or eth1 ? | 04:45 |
| nickrud | mac_, you probably should check your dell docs | 04:45 |
| ushdfgakk | i call it talking about problems i'm having with linux | 04:45 |
| obnockshus | I want to run audio/video from my old (windows) drive and am not sure that there won't be major issues (based on the warnings from the GL "player" download) Can anyone give me a bit of advice? | 04:45 |
| voice | when i ran the cd integrity check it said there was nothing wrong with it | 04:46 |
| shm613 | te_: eth1 | 04:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | ushdfgakk: yes, and completely off-topic for this channel. | 04:46 |

| tsukasa | hey is there a command to execute a command one level higher then what your on? eg i want to launch a daemon from ssh such that when i close the ssh connection its still running | 04:46 |
| mac_ | there is a windows booklet they gave me for my linux system | 04:46 |
| te_ | shm613: Ok, is it connecting to your router for you? | 04:46 |
| JoshJ | So, I take it that ubuntu ignores /etc/fstab ? | 04:46 |
| te_ | shm613 or not? | 04:46 |
| === fsanlu_ is now known as fsanlu | ||
| shm613 | te_: No it is not connecting to my router | 04:46 |
| astro76 | JoshJ, of course not | 04:46 |
| tsukasa | anyone? | 04:46 |
| nickrud | tsukasa, you can use screen in your ssh session, or use the disown bash builtin | 04:47 |
| JoshJ | astro76: then explain this (details coming) | 04:47 |
| te_ | shm613: Does your router use some sort of encryption? | 04:47 |
| Myrtti | ushdfgakk: this channel isn't Generic Linux help channel | 04:47 |
| te_ | shm613: wep or ...? | 04:47 |
| shm613 | te_: No just a MAC filter | 04:47 |
| mac_ | its mounted over /media | 04:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | ushdfgakk: ask in #linux if they don't ban you after 15min, they'll enjoy your questions | 04:47 |
| mac_ | whats this /media ment for | 04:47 |
| te_ | shm613: Have you entered the MAC in your router's list of devices? | 04:47 |
| rootard | how are Ubuntu patches maintained over debian packages? Is there a common process or is it ad-hoc per package? | 04:47 |
| shm613 | te_: and I got the mac address for the wireless NIC and put it in the list | 04:47 |
| ubuntu_ | could somebody tell me how to load this X-Fi audio driver I d/l | 04:47 |
| astro76 | mac_, mounting stuff | 04:47 |
| nickrud | mac_, media is generally used for automounting external devices, like usb sticks or drives | 04:48 |
| voice | my ubuntu cd isn't working properly. when i first used it i loaded into ubuntu fine, now when i load it it comes up with a command line, and reports it cant load "xfer"-something. can anyone help? | 04:48 |
| ushdfgakk | i'm gonna build my own #ubuntu | 04:48 |
| ushdfgakk | with blackjack...and hookers! | 04:48 |
| ushdfgakk | in fact | 04:48 |
| ushdfgakk | forget the chatroom | 04:48 |
| te_ | shm613: Look at the output of iwconfig and see if it is acquiring the essid. | 04:48 |
| astro76 | mac_, /mnt according to the FHS is only for temporary mounting, with no subdirectories.. contrary to how many distros use it | 04:48 |
| cah_djogja20 | hi | 04:48 |
| shm613 | te_: It gets the ESSID but not the mac from the router | 04:48 |
| bazhang | ushdfgakk: last warning | 04:49 |
| JoshJ | I just repartitioned my system (to make an extra windows partition for games) and I copied my /dev/sda4 to /dev/sda3, and deleted /dev/sda4. /etc/fstab still shows /dev/sda4 as the /home directory, but gnome-system-monitor shows /home as /dev/sda3. I mean, I'm glad I don't have to edit /etc/fstab manually, but why is it doing this? | 04:49 |
| shm613 | te_: under Access Point it says Invalid | 04:49 |
| mac_ | gr8, but i dont see any external devices for this /media/dellutility | 04:49 |
| JoshJ | astro76: there you go | 04:49 |
| ushdfgakk | alright alright | 04:49 |
| bullgard4 | English help wanted. What is the first sentence of the English descriptive text that Synaptics provides for the Ubuntu DEB program package 'seblinux1'? The sentence is probably similar to "This package provides the commonly used libraries which are used for a security optimized Linux." | 04:49 |
| mac_ | its something inside my laptop, i guess | 04:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Thanks | 04:49 |
| jason___ | anyway, i have used the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide v0.5e to death over the last 2 months. i am using 7.10. i get the bongos at the startup screen, but i have no sound. i max out everything in my alsa mixer, but still nothing | 04:49 |
| te_ | shm613: So the correct essid is seen in the output of iwconfig? | 04:50 |
| jason___ | considering i do get the bongos, and the sound worked fine when i used the live cd, i am thinking it must me something simple i am missing | 04:50 |
| shm613 | te_: Yes | 04:50 |
| JoshJ | bullgard4: i'd help, but i don't see 'seblinux1'. what version are you on? | 04:50 |
| jason___ | i have already tried reinstalls 6 times | 04:50 |

| JoshJ | ah, i see ,i'm still on 7.04 | 04:51 |

| Henny | anybody tell me how to load the X-FI audio driver? | 04:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Henny: aren' there instructions where you downloaded it? | 04:52 |
| astro76 | JoshJ, are you just looking at the comment in fstab which says /dev/sda4, or are you comparing the actual UUID using the blkid command? | 04:53 |
| te_ | shm613: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop and then sudo /etc/init.d/networking start | 04:53 |
| Henny | yea not sure though | 04:53 |
| Henny | Indy new to linux | 04:53 |
| JoshJ | astro76: it's still showing the date on fstab as being 2007-07-29 and i repartitioned yesterday | 04:53 |
| JoshJ | i'll check the UID's now though | 04:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | Henny: no offense, but unless you're new to reading, the instructions on their site would be a good place to start | 04:53 |
| astro76 | JoshJ, well how did you repartition? | 04:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JoshJ: when you change any partiton on a drive all uuid's get reset | 04:53 |
| te_ | shm613: Did that get you connected? | 04:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JoshJ: For that drive only.. | 04:54 |

| Henny | 2) Run one of the following commands as root in the terminal: | 04:54 |
| Henny | ./installer | 04:54 |

| Cpudan80 | Is there a way to make a touchpad (on a laptop) less sensitive to extraneous taps? | 05:08 |
| jason___ | when i enter aplay -l that's what it says | 05:08 |
| JoshJ | Cpudan80: yeah | 05:08 |
| voice | a fair amount of time did pass, im not impatient | 05:08 |
| Cpudan80 | It's a T42 | 05:08 |
| deusr | IndyGunFreak: My father has ubuntu in the machine and won a clock mp3, that the plugar in ubuntu, it does not mount it. My gentoo mounts and creates an icon on the desktop of the gnome. | 05:08 |
| Cpudan80 | JoshJ: How? | 05:08 |
| JoshJ | Cpudan80: you want to turn off "touch to click"? | 05:08 |
| JoshJ | or just reduce sensitivity? | 05:08 |
| bazhang | verb3k: I saw that :} but he should give us answers to more pertinent questions, aye? | 05:08 |
| _Casey_ | Joshj | 05:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | deusr: sorr, i have no idea what would cause that. | 05:09 |
| _Casey_ | i see it under device manager | 05:09 |
| te_ | xenthro: Turn off screensaver | 05:09 |
| jason___ | i get the bongos at start up, but nothing while in the desktop | 05:09 |
| Cpudan80 | JoshJ: Well - I tap the thing with my wrist, and the mouse goes all spastic | 05:09 |
| deusr | IndyGunFreak: thanks :/ | 05:09 |
| CyberMad | is that ok, that i use ubuntu-desktop as server | 05:09 |
| Cpudan80 | I dont want to turn the thing off entirely | 05:09 |
| te_ | xenthro: Or at least turn off the "blank screen" part. | 05:09 |
| JoshJ | Cpudan80: are you talking about clicking or moving it? | 05:09 |
| voice | Anyway, my real question is why when i try to boot my ubuntu live cd does it come up "failed to set xfermode" when the first time it worked perfectly? | 05:09 |
| mac_ | hi guys | 05:09 |
| shm613 | te_: Still cant ping router | 05:09 |
| xenthro | te_ its not blank | 05:09 |
| bazhang | deusr: last time: what are trying to do? what system? | 05:09 |
| deusr | bazhang: y father has ubuntu in the machine and won a clock mp3, that the plugar in ubuntu, it does not mount it. My gentoo mounts and creates an icon on the desktop of the gnome. | 05:09 |
| Cpudan80 | JoshJ: It'll do both somtimes | 05:09 |
| CyberMad | i will run virtualbox inside, then each virtual machine i install debian with specific duty | 05:09 |
| JoshJ | you can adjust mouse speed rather simply | 05:10 |
| te_ | shm613: Did you do: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop and then sudo /etc/init.d/networking start when the cable was unplugged? | 05:10 |
| mac_ | what the use of /media/dellutility folder? | 05:10 |
| Cpudan80 | JoshJ: I'd have to play with the config a little --- where do I go to mess with it? | 05:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | voice: sorry, no clue on that one, never heard of that problem | 05:10 |
| xenthro | te_ and it crashed before even without the SS... it would just lock up my screen and keys would not work | 05:10 |
| verb3k | bazhang, I can understand him | 05:10 |
| Thorsten11 | mac_ hi there | 05:10 |
| bazhang | deusr: that does not answer my question what are you trying to do? | 05:10 |
| jebblue | !ubotu ubotu | voice | 05:10 |
| ubotu | voice: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 05:10 |
| shm613 | te_: yes | 05:10 |
| mac_ | yep Thorstenll | 05:10 |
| _Casey_ | Joshj "Usb Audio Interface" ;x | 05:10 |
| JoshJ | Cpudan80: if you add the following line to your /etc/xorg.conf (under "section 'InputDevice'") it will turn off the "tap to click" thing. This isn't adjustable through the standard system-preferences thing.Option"MaxTapTime""0" | 05:10 |
| te_ | shm613: Did you give it an IP address? | 05:10 |
| verb3k | bazhang, he's trying to get hs device to work man what's up ??? | 05:10 |
| mac_ | hi Thorsten11 | 05:11 |
| shm613 | te_: Yes | 05:11 |
| Cpudan80 | JoshJ: Is there a way to just make it so that the taps are required to be longer? | 05:11 |
| te_ | shm613: Give command: ifconfig [with no arguments] and see if it has IP 192.168.1.41. | 05:11 |
| JoshJ | _Casey_: i've never used a microphone, I'm just trying to offer suggestions. the standard gnome-volume-control shows a "microphone" category, i'd suggest turning that up and seeing what happens | 05:11 |
| Cpudan80 | JoshJ: IE 1 second or so | 05:11 |
| te_ | shm613: ifconfig eth1 | 05:11 |
| Shadow147 | can run a compilied program without installing it? | 05:11 |
| bazhang | verb3k: dont know sync music, transfer data files, etc, there is a different method for each fix | 05:12 |
| _Casey_ | JoshJ | 05:12 |
| JoshJ | Cpudan80: yeah, you just change that length of time | 05:12 |
| _Casey_ | thats for the mic port, not usb | 05:12 |
| _Casey_ | !microphone | 05:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about microphone - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:12 |
| Cpudan80 | JoshJ: Is that # in seconds? | 05:12 |
| JoshJ | Cpudan80: i don't know, i just set it to 0 because i personally dislike tap to click | 05:12 |
| te_ | shm613: Does the second line of the output of ifconfig eth1 show IP address: "192.168.1.41" ? | 05:12 |
| JoshJ | i'd guess it's seconds or milliseconds | 05:12 |
| bmk789 | anyone using an intel X3100? | 05:12 |
| deusr | bazhang: that does not answer my question what are you trying to do? | 05:12 |
| nickrud | Cpudan80, you can add the line Option "SHMConfig" "1" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf , then you can run gsynaptics , it gives you some control over the pad | 05:12 |
| mac_ | what the use of /media/dellutility folder? anybody | 05:12 |
| tofaffy | I have an ATI 1100 graphics card on my laptop and a Hanns G HW191D...the drivers for the monitor aren't on Ubuntu by default and the screen resolution is HUGE....does anyone know how I can fix this? | 05:12 |
| tofaffy | I can't find anything on the internet | 05:12 |
| deusr | bazhang: Sorry, I am trying to plug-in the clock in ubuntu and he mount the device so that I can copy some songs for him. | 05:12 |
| shm613 | te_: No | 05:13 |
| Shadow147 | tofaffy well first you need to install your cards restricted drive | 05:13 |
| te_ | shm613: Did you enter the MAC 00:00:00:1A:73:B2 into your router's list of allowed MACs? | 05:13 |
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: thanks - I'll mess around with it | 05:13 |
| bazhang | deusr: haha--open amarok, then insert the device--then go to devices in amarok and look for the device in the applet at the top of the screen | 05:13 |
| Shadow147 | tofaffy | !find ATI | 05:13 |
| nickrud | tofaffy, your card isn't supported by the default ubuntu driver, you have to go to system->admin->restricted drivers and enable the fglrx one | 05:13 |
| tofaffy | Shadow147, what is the name of the ATI drivers?...I think I have them already installed | 05:13 |
| te_ | shm613: Then issue command: sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.41 | 05:14 |
| tofaffy | Shadow147, I had issues with the fglrx drivers | 05:14 |
| tofaffy | It was EXTREMEMLY slow | 05:14 |
| jimbo | I got a bad ntsf problem anyone up for this | 05:14 |
| jimbo | ? | 05:14 |
| bazhang | deusr: this may take a couple of trys and be patient, but it will get mounted--come hell or high water :} | 05:14 |
| _Casey_ | hmm | 05:14 |
| te_ | shm613: And then issue command: ifconfig [with no argument] to confirm that eth1 has IP 192.168.1.41 | 05:14 |
| Shadow147 | tofaffy hmm I am using the restricted drivers for my card and mine is a Nvidia Card | 05:14 |
| tofaffy | Mine is ATI... | 05:15 |
| bazhang | sorry for the language channel | 05:15 |
| nickrud | tofaffy, was that the ones from ubuntu or the one you download from ati | 05:15 |
| _Casey_ | how do i view running process and the pid from konsole | 05:15 |
| shm613 | te_: Now it had the ip | 05:15 |
| JoshJ | ps -e | grep processname | 05:15 |
| te_ | Casey: ps aux | 05:15 |
| tofaffy | nickrud, xorg-driver-fglrx from ubuntu repos | 05:15 |
| JoshJ | or that :p | 05:15 |

| JoshJ | Shadow147: sure, cd to the folder and do ./binaryname | 05:16 |
| te_ | shm613: Are you now able to ping the router? | 05:16 |
| nickrud | tofaffy, hrm, do you have the linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) installed? | 05:16 |
| Shadow147 | JoshJ thanks so I just do a make? | 05:16 |
| JoshJ | Shadow147: you have to chmod it to +x | 05:16 |
| JoshJ | yeah | 05:16 |
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: Are you sure it's 1 and not "true" ? | 05:16 |
| mac_ | what the use of /media/dellutility folder? any help | 05:16 |
| JoshJ | make, then chmod the binary to +x | 05:16 |
| Shadow147 | JoshJ ok | 05:16 |
| nickrud | Cpudan80, they're equivalent | 05:16 |
| tofaffy | nickrud, how do I search for it? | 05:16 |
| _Casey_ | it says firfox is open but i did a forcequit on it | 05:17 |
| JoshJ | _Casey_: do killall firefox-bin | 05:17 |
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: oh ok - didn't realize that (that makes sense though) | 05:17 |

| _Casey_ | oh that worked | 05:17 |

| Robbie_Crash | Without the use of an editor, if I just want to append the line to the end of the file? | 05:19 |
| JoshJ | mac_: i found it | 05:19 |
| nickrud | tofaffy, it's installed then. I don't know why you would have problems with that driver. For some reason it's slow for some people, for most it's fine | 05:19 |
| JoshJ | You might be wondering what the two vfat partitions at the front of the disk are: | 05:19 |
| JoshJ | /dev/sda1 mounts to /media/DellUtility | 05:19 |
| JoshJ | I wont be clearing this partition after all, since magicfab pointed out that it is a Dell hardware diagnostics environment implemented in DOS. I have the tendancy to jump to conclusions when I see anything .EXE | 05:19 |
| JoshJ | from : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2764621 | 05:19 |

| Cpudan80 | nickrud: Works great - ty | 05:20 |

| nickrud | tofaffy, system->admin->restricted manager | 05:20 |
| Robbie_Crash | !ntfs | jimbo | 05:20 |
| JoshJ | jimbo: give details and then we'll see if we can help? | 05:20 |
| mac_ | whats that for | 05:20 |
| ubotu | jimbo: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 05:20 |
| Onyx | bazhang: nah, I don't think it's compiz... it's like the entire screen is zoomed | 05:20 |
| Cpudan80 | And it clearly adjusts the sensitivity -- I cranked it way down | 05:20 |
| bio | so.. what's going on with flash these days? | 05:20 |
| mac_ | JoshJ:whats that for | 05:20 |
| _Casey_ | bio | 05:20 |
| bio | yes | 05:20 |
| _Casey_ | you mean macromedia | 05:20 |
| JoshJ | you mean adobe :p | 05:20 |
| kamil | how to fix empty cd-key problem in et? | 05:21 |
| bio | _Casey_, like adobe flash player | 05:21 |
| te_ | shm613: Then it should work. That's all there is to wireless networking. You set the ESSID and an IP address that is on the same network and if the router will accept the connection, that should do it. | 05:21 |
| JoshJ | mac_: it's a review, but he mentions that dell has a DOS diagnostics tool in that partition | 05:21 |
| bio | _Casey_, watch google vids | 05:21 |
| _Casey_ | flash still doesnt work with webcams for video4linuxv2 grrrrrrrr | 05:21 |
| nickrud | Cpudan80, yw. I used it for a while, then lost it during a reconfig. I ended up training myself :) | 05:21 |
| Shadow147 | bio flash is still broken | 05:21 |
| jimbo | can anyone help me with a ntfs problem i am having | 05:21 |
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: lol | 05:21 |
| Shadow147 | bio for linux | 05:21 |
| JoshJ | presumably if you go to them with a problem they run those DOS diagnostics | 05:21 |
| bio | Shadow147, how do I watch google vids? | 05:21 |
| Shadow147 | !find flash | 05:21 |
| ubotu | Found: flashrom, flashybrid, libflash-dev, libflash-mozplugin, libflash-swfplayer (and 6 others) | 05:21 |
| Robbie_Crash | jimbo what is your ntfs problem? | 05:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | bio: flash is fine if you donwload the tarball from adobe, and install it that way, its the version in the repos thats broken | 05:21 |
| bio | flash used to work | 05:21 |
| JoshJ | read the review, there's some details on that there | 05:21 |
| bio | oh | 05:22 |
| samm1 | in amd64 flash is not working | 05:22 |
| Robbie_Crash | is there a way to directly insert text from the command line into a text file? Without the use of an editor, if I just want to append the line to the end of the file? | 05:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | samm1: its never worked in amd64 | 05:22 |
| te_ | shm613: Well, there is the possibility that the router does not respond to ping requests, (has port 113 filtered). | 05:22 |
| bazhang | onyx alt scroll wheel did it for me--if you mean firefox | 05:22 |
| nickrud | !flash64 | bio | 05:22 |
| ubotu | bio: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 05:22 |
| davidthedrake | samm1, You can get a wrapper for it or install a 32-bit version of Firefox | 05:22 |
| samm1 | IndyGunFreak:so what to do? | 05:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: just posted it.. | 05:22 |
| JoshJ | mac_: /media/OS apparently has your install image and some other stuff. | 05:22 |
| Shadow147 | bio !sudo apt-get install flash-mozplugin | 05:22 |
| shm613 | te_: No because I can ping it when I'm wired | 05:22 |
| _Casey_ | why is stickam.com freezing me all of a sudden | 05:22 |
| _Casey_ | even on firefox and galeon | 05:22 |

| JoshJ | mac_: ask dell, not me *shrug* | 05:23 |
| Shadow147 | bio yes | 05:23 |
| JoshJ | all i know is what i see on that review | 05:23 |

| JoshJ | bio: i think you want flashplugin-nonfree | 05:24 |
| _Casey_ | indy you can access it? | 05:24 |
| bio | flashplugin-nonfree... that's what I thought | 05:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Casey_: yes, its working fine | 05:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | i'm watching it now. | 05:25 |
| _Casey_ | i go on firefox and galeon and the browsers just freeze | 05:25 |
| samm1 | :-( Is there no way I can make flash work in amd 64 ?? | 05:25 |
| mac_ | give an answer man, whats the usage of /media/OS folder ...it is having the linux image | 05:25 |
| te_ | shm613: Well, we have covered all there is to cover. If you have the ESSID right and you have an IP address that is accessable as per the router's config. that should get you in contact with the LAN and you should be able to ping the router. (That is prviding that the wireless NIC on the router is alllowed to answer ping requests, and it IS possible that the router is blocking pings from the wired NIC). | 05:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Casey_: i'm using firefox. | 05:25 |
| Onyx | bazhang: Been about six years since I last used Linux (just installed Ubuntu this morning), and that key didn't do anything for me back in the day. | 05:25 |
| JoshJ | mac_: think "recovery partition" | 05:25 |
| Shadow147 | bio do sudo apt-get install flashplayer-mozilla and flashplugin-nonfree just to be safe | 05:25 |
| nickrud | !flash64 | samm1 | 05:25 |
| bazhang | Onyx: try super e, super q; if you have the ccsm extensions checked it is the master of key combox | 05:25 |
| ubotu | samm1: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 05:25 |
| _Casey_ | reinstall firefox or what? | 05:25 |
| jebblue | Smegzor you want to monitor traffic for a particular app? | 05:25 |
| Onyx | samm1: Yeah, on FireFox? | 05:25 |
| Smegzor | jebblue: thats the idea | 05:25 |
| samm1 | tried but didn't work | 05:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | Casey: maybe, i don't know, what version fo firefox? | 05:25 |
| bio | The Flash plugin was NOT installed | 05:25 |
| bazhang | err combos | 05:25 |
| mac_ | JoshJ: hows does it work then if i need to recover? | 05:25 |
| samm1 | gnash is too crappy | 05:26 |
| _Casey_ | default that came with this im guessing | 05:26 |
| Onyx | bazhang: super q does nothing, but super e is pretty badass. | 05:26 |
| jebblue | Smegzor good question I've often wanted to do that too | 05:26 |
| JoshJ | mac_: ask dell, or perhaps do some shenanigans with grub | 05:26 |
| shm613 | te_: when i do iwlist scan it returns No scan results | 05:26 |
| te_ | shm613: Look at /etc/resolv.conf and see if you have nameservers listed. | 05:26 |
| * IndyGunFreak thinks Ubuntu needs to fix this flash problem, i'm sick of hearing, "Flash not installed" | 05:26 | |
| nickrud | bio, they've told you that flash in the repos is broken, use the one from adobe | 05:26 |
| te_ | shm613: cat /etc/resolv.conf | 05:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Casey_: well, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 05:26 |
| bio | nickrud, then someone said otherwise | 05:26 |
| JoshJ | bio: i'm on feisty still, btw | 05:26 |
| rencore_ | if i pull out my usb mouse and plug it back in ubuntu doesnt see it forcing me to reboot how can i fix this | 05:26 |
| JoshJ | so if it's broken in gutsy i'm unaware | 05:26 |
| shm613 | te_: yes there are two nameservers listed | 05:26 |
| te_ | shm613: Are you using native driver or ndiswrapper? | 05:27 |
| _Casey_ | im on.... | 05:27 |
| bazhang | Onyx: try and enabling it then :} | 05:27 |
| JoshJ | i've done an install out of the tarball on dapper, it's not hard :p | 05:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 05:27 |
| Onyx | Hmmmmm.... having issues getting coolkey to work with firefox. | 05:27 |
| bio | JoshJ, feisty here too | 05:27 |
| te_ | shm613: host av.com | 05:27 |
| Sturm | Is it possible to make removeable devices (mp3players, flash drives) not have owners so that anyone can mount one in any user and always have permission to read and write to them? | 05:27 |
| te_ | shm613: Does that return anything? | 05:27 |
| JoshJ | bio: then try it, you can removei it later | 05:27 |
| === danfg_ is now known as danfg | ||
| bio | yeah, I got the tarball thing | 05:27 |
| shm613 | te_: the driver from the restricted drivers manager | 05:27 |
| te_ | Sturm: Yes | 05:27 |
| Smegzor | jebblue: I'm hosting a game server (halflife2) over the holidays. It doesn't appear to be a bandwidth hog, but I'm worried that if I leave it running all night, it'll suck me dry. | 05:27 |
| _Casey_ | its an audio/video production version, i forget | 05:27 |
| JoshJ | the tarball is dead easy, you just stick the .so into the right dir | 05:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Casey_: ubuntu studio? | 05:28 |
| _Casey_ | yes | 05:28 |
| _Casey_ | thats it | 05:28 |
| te_ | Sturm: Just edit the /etc/group file and place new users where they have access. | 05:28 |
| Shadow147 | this nice also I just double-clicked on it and it launched | 05:28 |
| _Casey_ | stickam was working earlier, not anymore | 05:28 |
| jebblue | Smegzor yup good one I've wanted to do some monitoring like that with the old Unreal server too | 05:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | Casey: ubuntu studio kinda does its own thing, so i don't really know what to tell you... open a terminal and type "lsb_release -a" and see what the output is. | 05:29 |
| JoshJ | _Casey_: then undo whatever you did with the mic? | 05:29 |
| jebblue | Smegzor asks how to monitor the network traffic for just one app? | 05:29 |
| _Casey_ | all i did was plug it in | 05:29 |
| danfg | anyone using eclipse 3.3? | 05:29 |
| Shadow147 | this will allow me to compile programs and use them without installation just like in windows | 05:29 |
| JoshJ | :/ | 05:29 |
| bio | should I use /usr/lib/mozilla ? is that the default path? | 05:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | JoshJ: i dont' think that would effect flash, but who knows. | 05:29 |
| nickrud | danfg, from eclipse.org , yes | 05:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | bio: i think it should work | 05:29 |
| JoshJ | IndyGunFreak: when something breaks, undo whatever your most recent change was :p | 05:29 |

| danfg | nickrud: where can i find an eclipse 3.3 debian package? | 05:30 |
| te_ | shm613: You might re-boot and see if that does anything. Reboot with the wired nic unplugged. | 05:30 |
| nickrud | and keep a log book! | 05:30 |
| jebblue | Smegzor asks how to monitor the network traffic for just one app? | 05:30 |

| orionn | ok... im sure this is a repeated issue... but i've googled my arse off | 05:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Casey_: can you view youtube? | 05:30 |

| orionn | my integrated webcam/mic works in skype and ekiga | 05:30 |
| Smegzor | jebblue: um.. why are you doing that? | 05:31 |

| nickrud | danfg, I haven't seen one. I just untarred (unzipped?) the download into my ~/local dir, linked the executable into ~/bin , put ~/bin on my path and all was good | 05:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Casey_: now that is wierd. | 05:31 |
| Smegzor | spamming won't help | 05:31 |
| Sturm | I still dont get what I am supposed to do, I dont see any "disk" | 05:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Casey_: well, that makes more sense.. something has happeend to your flash. | 05:31 |
| _Casey_ | i let it sit for a second to load a video and it just froze | 05:31 |

| Silver_Fox | Hey all, i was wondering, are there any good video edeting programs for linux? Also, are there any good screen recorders? | 05:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Casey_: i would use synaptic to uninstall flash, then download the tar.gz file from Adobve.com, and reinstalll flash using it. | 05:32 |
| carpediem | danfg: hmm, strange. Never had a problem with it at all, other than when I ran the 64bit version | 05:32 |
| jebblue | Smegzor you're welcome man if I knew I'd tell you in detail instead I get criticized for trying to find someone who know, thanks. | 05:32 |
| J_Laptop | jimbo - do you care about the data on that drive? | 05:32 |
| orionn | i installed the flash-nonfree 9.0 from adobe | 05:32 |

| cMinion | hey, i just installed Ubuntu on two machines with the same cd. For some reason i can't find java6 in the reposetory on this machine but i had no problem finding it on the other. The icedtea thing doesn't work with eclipse so. | 05:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Casey_: thats what it is in the repos if i recall. | 05:33 |
| orionn | whatever the new flash release is for linux | 05:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | Smegzor: ?.. what are you talking about. | 05:33 |
| J_Laptop | jimbo - then I don't know - if you didn't care, you could dd the drive to clear it out | 05:33 |

| jimbo | j-laptop, ok thanks anyway | 05:34 |
| Sonja | ubotu should auto say that upon keywords like fuck and shit | 05:34 |
| carpediem | danfg: hard to say....if you've somehow borked your system with regards to eclipse, I'd be surprised if a .deb install would change that. | 05:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sonja: ?... ubotu should ban people for being morons | 05:35 |

| danfg | carpediem: i was hoping it would, resolving dependencies and such | 05:36 |
| _Casey_ | yes hold please | 05:36 |
| danfg | carpediem: not that i recall | 05:36 |
| Evolution2 | jimbo: install ext2 for windows | 05:36 |
| _Casey_ | ok adobe.com | 05:36 |
| JoshJ | jimbo: um. How can it still be hibernated if windows is no longer running? | 05:36 |
| carpediem | danfg: there are no dependencies for eclipse that aren't included with it, other than the JVM | 05:36 |
| danfg | carpediem: ok. i'm downloading the latest tar.gz and i'll try installing it again | 05:37 |
| carpediem | danfg: can you go to the command line and type "java -version" | 05:37 |
| _Casey_ | option 1: tar.gz | 05:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Casey_: yes | 05:37 |
| _Casey_ | i do a ./configure, make, sudo make install? | 05:37 |

| JoshJ | jimbo: it doesn't really work like that | 05:39 |
| te_ | Sturm: Edit file /etc/group and add new users to to the appropriate places. For instance, If the first user was "fred", and now you've added user "jane" Find each line that has fred and put a , and then add the name of new user "jane" so that each line that has fred also has jane It should look like this: disk::6:root,adm,fred,jane | 05:39 |

| taak | can you be a little less cryptic there? | 05:47 |
| bazhang | JoshJ: the linux viruses? :} | 05:48 |
| nickrud | taak, what do you mean you deleted a file from a deb package, that's not really easy to do | 05:48 |
| JoshJ | bazhang: more like the fact that write support is apparently slightly on the iffy side | 05:48 |
| bazhang | taak: you first | 05:48 |
| carpediem | taak: can't you just reinstall the deb? | 05:48 |
| jxxt | taak, when you delete in linux it is fairly permanent | 05:48 |
| cMinion | carpediem: its says IcedTead Jvm 7 etc etc | 05:48 |
| bazhang | JoshJ: okay. just kidding | 05:48 |
| bruenig | taak, if you deleted a file from a deb, it was not an accident | 05:49 |
| carpediem | cMinion: okay...can you PM me the output when you type "eclipse" | 05:49 |
| JoshJ | i mean, if i'm moving stuff to windows, i have the windows ext3 reader, so why not do that instead, right? | 05:49 |
| nickrud | hear, hear | 05:49 |
| bruenig | two tarballs enclosed on an ar archive, lot of unwrapping to do | 05:49 |
| bruenig | in* | 05:49 |
| bazhang | JoshJ: righto | 05:49 |
| JoshJ | so i usually just "take" rather than "give" so i'm always reading from the "other" os and writing to "this" os. | 05:49 |
| te_ | Sturm: Did you get it yet? | 05:49 |
| cMinion | il try ^^ | 05:49 |
| taak | ok | 05:50 |
| taak | i deleted an apache module out from /etc/apache2/mods-available | 05:50 |
| nickrud | taak, which one? | 05:50 |
| bazhang | taak: you could also ask in #apache | 05:50 |
| taak | mod_python | 05:51 |
| nickrud | bazhang, no, that dir is debian/ubuntu specific | 05:51 |
| taak | i know which package it came from | 05:51 |
| bazhang | nickrud: sorry! and thanks! | 05:51 |
| taak | apt-get install it again doesn't restore it, though | 05:51 |
| JoshJ | taak: did you remove it first? | 05:51 |
| JoshJ | otherwise apt just goes "it's already installed" and exits | 05:51 |
| taak | the .deb file is still in /var/cache/apt/archives | 05:51 |
| nickrud | taak, then sudo dpkg -i --force-confnew /var/cache/apt/archives/<packagename><tab> | 05:51 |
| JoshJ | ...yeah, that | 05:52 |
| JoshJ | you could also have done apt-get clean :p | 05:52 |
| Molke_DK | hi, and bye | 05:52 |
| * nickrud goes off to double check | 05:53 | |
| JoshJ | nickrud: man apt-get, look for "clean" :) | 05:53 |
| nickrud | taak, that's --force-confmiss , sorry | 05:53 |
| nickrud | JoshJ, that just removes packages from the archive | 05:54 |
| JoshJ | nickrud: doesn't that do what you want (forces a new download)? | 05:54 |
| taak | there's a .conf and a .load file, will that --confmiss do both? | 05:54 |
| JoshJ | maybe i misread it | 05:54 |
| * JoshJ loads it back up | 05:54 | |
| nickrud | JoshJ, but if a conf file is missing, apt will not replace it because it assumes you removed it on purpose | 05:54 |
| JoshJ | nickrud: --purge on a remove doesn't result in it making new conf files? | 05:55 |
| JoshJ | i thought that was sort of the point | 05:56 |
| nickrud | JoshJ, yes it will | 05:56 |
| nickrud | JoshJ, why not use one command rather than two ;p | 05:56 |
| taak | i'm going to try --dry-run first | 05:56 |
| nickrud | lol, wise man | 05:56 |
| JoshJ | nickrud: because you can do "apt-get remove --purge foo && apt-get clean" ? | 05:56 |
| nickrud | JoshJ, 6 here, half a dozen there. There's lots of tools | 05:57 |
| Fezzler | Has anyone ever gotten Multisync to work with a Pocket PC? | 05:57 |

| taak | ok apparently it ignores --dry-run if you put it at the end | 05:58 |
| taak | but it appears to have worked anyway | 05:58 |
| nickrud | JoshJ, and there's one reason you might want to use --force-missing, you might have modified some of the other conf files and not want to lose them | 05:59 |
| JoshJ | generally speaking, i do --purge specifically because i borked up a config file and WANT to lose them; but I'll keep that in mind :) | 06:00 |
| jimmygoon | How do I use md5sum from the command line to generate an md5 sum of text | 06:01 |
| nickrud | jimmygoon, md5sum <file> | 06:01 |
| JoshJ | jimmygoon: what's the text in? a text file? | 06:01 |
| jimmygoon | I just want to type it :P | 06:01 |
| JoshJ | oh | 06:01 |
| jimmygoon | I know I can do "md5sum -" to use stdin but then how do I tell it I'm done and to generate the chksum | 06:01 |
| _Casey_ | woo it works | 06:01 |
| JoshJ | echo "foo" | md5sum ? | 06:01 |
| _Casey_ | idk how to get my mic working | 06:01 |
| nickrud | jimmygoon, hit ctl-d | 06:01 |
| jimmygoon | JoshJ, yup | 06:01 |
| jimmygoon | nickrud, thanks | 06:01 |
| JoshJ | jimmygoon: send a EOF (control-D) | 06:01 |
| cafuego | Note echo -n foo | md5sum | 06:02 |
| cafuego | otherwise you'll be including the terminating null. | 06:02 |
| JoshJ | ooh, good catch | 06:02 |
| jimmygoon | cafuego, yep, trial and error caught that one | 06:02 |
| * nickrud bows towards cafuego | 06:02 | |
| jimmygoon | the ctrl+d didn't and I was like wait.... | 06:02 |
| fsanlu | how to i change my username? | 06:03 |
| jimmygoon | the md5sum for "lol" and "lol\0" are different | 06:03 |
| jimmygoon | anyway, thanks | 06:03 |
| bazhang | in irc fsanlu? | 06:03 |
| JoshJ | fsanlu: here or in your OS? | 06:03 |
| fsanlu | bazhang, no in ubuntu | 06:03 |

| frederick85 | hey i'm wondering is Xubuntu still active | 06:05 |
| danfg | carpediem: exactly, i have it installed, but when i set update-java-alternatives to "java-6-sun", java won't run :( | 06:05 |
| nickrud | frederick85, yes | 06:05 |
| JoshJ | frederick85: #xubuntu | 06:05 |
| carpediem | danfg: okay, is eclipse running under gcj? | 06:05 |
| danfg | carpediem: i'll try reinstalling java-6-sun packages. | 06:05 |
| danfg | carpediem: yes, but the 3.2 version, i want to run the 3.3 version | 06:06 |
| JoshJ | danfg: do you have it installed? | 06:06 |
| danfg | JoshJ: 3.3? | 06:06 |
| JoshJ | yeah | 06:06 |
| BoNe | Can anyone recommend a lightweight WM/X-Win for a server install? | 06:06 |
| carpediem | danfg: yeah....you can try that, if not, you could also use sun-java-5. I don't think Europa requires JAva 6 | 06:06 |
| JoshJ | danfg: you can switch what it uses inside eclipse without having to do any special installing tricks | 06:06 |

| frederick85 | what is ubuntu alternate | 06:07 |
| frederick85 | ? | 06:07 |
| frederick85 | can i make a xubuntu box with that? | 06:07 |
| Sonja | i found this https://translations.launchpad.net/exaile/trunk/+pots/exaile/eo/+translate?show=untranslated | 06:07 |
| BoNe | J_Laptop: does the xfce support a vnc-server type setup by default? | 06:07 |
| JoshJ | danfg: window-preferences-java | 06:08 |
| J_Laptop | anything can support vnc server | 06:08 |
| JoshJ | then "installed JREs" and you can edit what the default one | 06:08 |
| frederick85 | ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso what is this iso for? | 06:08 |
| J_Laptop | if you set it up right | 06:08 |
| ramza3 | at boot, with /etc/fstab. is there a way to specify which user does the mount. e.g for NFS mounting | 06:08 |
| J_Laptop | the alternate cd's are for command line installs | 06:09 |
| frederick85 | J_Laptop: easier than a gentoo mini iso? | 06:09 |
| J_Laptop | for machines in which the gui fails, or if you want special things like lvm setups | 06:09 |
| nickrud | Sonja, https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+lang/eo | 06:09 |
| J_Laptop | much easier to run the installer | 06:09 |
| nickrud | Sonja, heh, beat me to it | 06:09 |
| frederick85 | J_Laptop: i'd like to setup a custom desktop so would the alternate be appropriate for me? | 06:09 |
| J_Laptop | maybe even a server cd | 06:09 |
| J_Laptop | so you get just a base, and can build from that | 06:10 |
| frederick85 | J_Laptop: the server cd couldn't detect my processor type for some reason | 06:10 |
| bazhang | or a minimal install frederick85 | 06:10 |
| JoshJ | ramza3: man fstab suggests that you can "allow a user to mount" | 06:10 |
| JoshJ | i'm not sure if that means a specific user or any user | 06:10 |
| frederick85 | bazhang: where is the minimal install | 06:10 |
| MrPiracy | i am getting "Failed to load module "Type1" (module does not exist, 0)" can anyone tell me where to get this module? | 06:10 |
| JoshJ | i think it means "any" because my cdrom is listed as just "user" as opposed to my username *shrug* | 06:11 |
| bazhang | !minimal | frederick85 | 06:11 |
| ubotu | frederick85: 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 | 06:11 |

| Madpilot | nickrud, it's a nice browser, except that in Gutsy some of the extensions seem busted | 06:20 |
| JoshJ | wers: oh, the card itself is the problem and you know the reader works? interesting... not sure how to help then :/ | 06:20 |
| WGGMk | Myrtti: heya.. remember me from earlier.. pastebin warning haha | 06:20 |
| nickrud | Madpilot, I used it a lot on my older computer, it so much lighter than firefox | 06:20 |
| wers | in computer:///, i can see my usb reader | 06:20 |
| Madpilot | dirkg3nt1y, on 7.10? interesting, only one listed on my epiph install here, and it's busted | 06:20 |
| wers | but the reader can't detect the card | 06:21 |
| Myrtti | WGGMk: use gid and uid. oh, and cifs, not smbfs | 06:21 |
| * nickrud mutters about installing the wrong epiphany *again* | 06:21 | |
| JoshJ | lol | 06:21 |

| WGGMk | Myrtti: ahh, should i specify gid or uid or both? the directory is read/write to only a certain group... so is gid sufficient? | 06:22 |
| J-e-f-f-A | wers: Perhaps the reader can't handle the size of the card. My laptop can't read a card > 1GB, but my other card readers can. | 06:23 |
| Myrtti | hmmmh | 06:23 |
| wers | my pocket pcs cant read it but my windows lappy can | 06:23 |

| WGGMk | Myrtti: what are the parameters for using cifs? and to pass the gid option?? | 06:24 |
| JoshJ | danfg: do update-java-alternatives | 06:24 |
| Myrtti | wers: they might or might not work | 06:24 |
| JoshJ | (to whichever one you want your command-line usage to be) | 06:24 |
| JoshJ | it doesn't affect eclipse at all | 06:25 |

| JoshJ | Onyx: um... why do you need anything beyond Clam? | 06:26 |
| Myrtti | wers: only recent mobile phone models support >2gb | 06:26 |
| Onyx | JoshJ: What's Clam? Gotta forgive me dude... been out of Linux for 6 years now | 06:26 |
| dirkg3nt1y | y do u need clam | 06:26 |
| Myrtti | some do unofficially | 06:26 |
| JoshJ | clam is an antivirus program for linux | 06:26 |

| dirkg3nt1y | daemons become processes that run in the background you can view running processes with "ps -A" | 06:29 |
| hwilde | dirkg3nt1y, what monitors the daemons to guarantee they are running or restart them if necessary | 06:30 |
| dirkg3nt1y | well ubuntu uses the rc init program, I not real familiar with it though. | 06:30 |
| hwilde | dirkg3nt1y, so does it run on some type of schedule and check if the daemon is running? is it like crontab or what | 06:31 |
| JoshJ | pretty sure it's in /etc/init.d somewhere | 06:31 |
| LoneLy | hy leh knalan ga........ | 06:32 |

| Gurby | hi | 06:35 |
| timfrost | hwilde: processes listed in /etc/init.d/* (or upstart equivalent) are not automatically restarted. If a task is specified in /etc/inittab (or equivalent) as "respawn", then init will restart it when it exits | 06:35 |
| JoshJ | unfortunately i don't really know the details of how init works | 06:35 |
| hwilde | timfrost, excellent and where does it restart, i want to send myself an email there | 06:35 |

| Jonathan | hi | 06:37 |
| Filled-Void | JoshJ, nothing that I guess. maybe battle fo wesnoth but I was able to use the resolution then | 06:37 |
| timfrost | hwilde: you can't send an email - the init process itself notes that the task has exited, and will automatically restart it - that is what the respawn option in /etc/inittab means | 06:37 |
| JoshJ | Filled-Void: hrm. are you on ATI or nvidia? | 06:37 |
| Jonathan | I need help with installing wireless for ubuntu on my PC | 06:37 |
| Filled-Void | JoshJ, nVidia 8600GT | 06:37 |
| Jonathan | Please help me sbody | 06:37 |
| JoshJ | hwilde: if you have the code to the process, you could make it send an email whenever it starts | 06:37 |
| hwilde | timfrost, yeah but this seems like it might make the system unstable. i might just use crontab | 06:38 |
| hwilde | JoshJ, so you're saying inittab respawn will call the daemon's restart method | 06:38 |
| JoshJ | heck, without the code you could create a shell script that replaced the normal executable file, sends an email, and then starts the program | 06:38 |
| Jonathan | is there anybody who canhelp me installing wireless | 06:38 |
| JoshJ | hwilde: presumably? | 06:38 |
| JoshJ | !wifi | Jonathan | 06:38 |
| ubotu | Jonathan: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:38 |
| JoshJ | i mean, why wouldn't it? | 06:38 |
| nickrud | hwilde, and inittab is replaced by the scripts in /etc/event.d , you can see an example in tty1 in that dir | 06:38 |
| JoshJ | Filled-Void: which driver? the free one or the proprietary one? | 06:38 |
| Jonathan | ok | 06:38 |
| Jonathan | so can I find guidence thre | 06:39 |
| hwilde | JoshJ, I have this shell script. It starts the file, checks the pid every 3s, restarts, sends email. But this monitor script Also Dies sometimes :/ | 06:39 |
| Filled-Void | JoshJ, Restricted. Would installing thmes have any effect on screen resolution? | 06:39 |
| Jonathan | for | 06:39 |
| Jonathan | wireless | 06:39 |
| JoshJ | Filled-Void: possibly. the restricted one can't really be helped; nobody here has the code for it etc | 06:39 |
| hwilde | nickrud, but how does it monitor them... is it a sleep timer or in crontab or just continuous cpu usage | 06:39 |
| Jonathan | i will look at that thank you very much! | 06:39 |

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+) | 06:42 |
| hwilde | timfrost, yeh thats what i thought... can't just us the restart method | 06:42 |
| hwilde | Fezzler, yeah lamp that's waht you want. I thought it was spelled lampp tho. or xampp | 06:42 |
| Fezzler | I'm trying to link an old HP620LX WinCE 2.11 device to my Ubuntu PC. Multisync did not work. I know have a ppp connection between the two devices but stumped on how to get files across? | 06:43 |
| hwilde | timfrost, so I should just monitor it with crontab then? how is crontab guaranteed to run every minute | 06:43 |
| JoshJ | Fezzler: SSH? | 06:43 |
| Cra2 | i'm attempting to install a .prc on my new treo, but i can't find anything besides changing owner name in gnome-pilot | 06:44 |
| achandrashekar | Is there support for Sparc distro of Ubuntu? | 06:44 |
| Fezzler | hwilde: Is LAMP a lot to go through to exchange a few files? | 06:44 |
| JoshJ | Fezzler: are they both connected over the internet? | 06:44 |
| nickrud | hwilde, you might find monit interesting ... as long as it doesn't die either :) | 06:44 |
| Fezzler | Joshj: How? | 06:44 |
| JoshJ | Fezzler: or are they networked together somehow? | 06:44 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: Direct Connection using ttyS0 on Ubuntu and ppp on CE device | 06:45 |
| nickrud | hwilde, here's a brief howto http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-monitor-and-restart-linux-unix-service.html | 06:45 |
| JoshJ | i've never used ttys0 :( | 06:46 |

| mitha_muAni3sTh | #jakarta | 06:47 |
| hwilde | nickrud, that is interesting nice googling. but i think i trust a crontab 2minute rather than that unknown monit package lol | 06:47 |
| JoshJ | Fezzler: sorry, but i really can't help you if you're doing it that way. given an internet connection (or even a LAN connection) you can use SSH, FTP, HTTP, whatever | 06:48 |
| JoshJ | hopefully you figure it out because you really shouldn't need to do it via internet *shrug* | 06:48 |
| timfrost | hwilde: Yes, crontab is probably best. Put an explicit entry in /etc/crontab like '* * * * * root <cmd>' where <cmd> is the script to check the status of your process, and restart it if necessary. The 'root' entry specifies to run the script as the root user. The asterisks tell cron to schedule it every minute. There are other places to put scripts that are run on a daily or hourly interval, but those scripts | 06:49 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: It also suggests "using an off-site web server" | 06:50 |
| hwilde | timfrost, u mean goto superuser type crontab -e and add */2 * * * * cmd | 06:50 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: "Start up 'Pocket Explorer' and enter the URL of you desktop machine, which should have a Web Server running and a page serving the software you wish to download. If you want to use an off-site web server then the IP-forwarding will need to be configure correctly - This is too complicated to explain here. " | 06:50 |
| JoshJ | no, it's actually suggesting you don't use an offsite one | 06:50 |
| JoshJ | your desktop machine is easy for it to get to, otherwise requires forwarding | 06:51 |
| timfrost | hwilde: | 06:51 |
| timfrost | hwilde: Yes, or sudo vi /etc/crontab | 06:51 |
| hwilde | timfrost, u should use crontab -e never edit that file directly | 06:52 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: In the PocketPC browser I'm loading http://192.168.1.102. Is that good enough? | 06:52 |
| JoshJ | Fezzler: do you have the web server set up? | 06:53 |
| JoshJ | that stands a pretty good chance of being it (or 192.168.1.1) but it's pointless if you don't have a webserver set up :p | 06:53 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: No. That's what I don't know how/what to do. I have Ubuntu 7.10 set up. | 06:54 |
| JoshJ | Fezzler: just do sudo apt-get install sshd | 06:54 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: LAMP is recommended? | 06:54 |
| JoshJ | if the CE thing has SSH, anyway | 06:54 |
| JoshJ | if you need a full-fledged webserver, yes, LAMP | 06:54 |
| JoshJ | i have no idea how apache works though :/ | 06:54 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: WHat os ssh and how will it alter my existing Ubuntu set up? | 06:55 |
| MrPiracy | could anyone please tell me how i can reinstall module TYPE1? xorg.0.log says this module does not exist | 06:55 |
| JoshJ | sshd lets you receive SSH connections (you already have the outgoing SSH program) | 06:55 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: I believe I have ssh installed. | 06:56 |
| JoshJ | you do have the outgoing one, you probably don't have the incoming one | 06:56 |
| J-e-f-f-A | anyone doing FTA here? | 06:56 |
| ogre | whats a good video joining app? | 06:56 |
| JoshJ | basically you just do ssh username@ipaddress and then you can do what you need to.. for file transfer you'll end up using scp, but that's done over ssh | 06:56 |
| achandrashekar | Anyone doing anything cool with asterisk and Ubuntu? | 06:56 |
| adamonline46 | Do I need any special packages to play a .avi? | 06:57 |
| Cra2 | how do i run gnome-pilot? i can run gnome-pilot settings and gnome-pilot-make-password, but not gnome-pilot | 06:57 |
| carpediem | adamonline46: depends, avi is just a wrapper | 06:57 |
| JoshJ | if you have PUTTY, winSCP or similar on the CE, or a SSH program of some sort, you can use SSH to transfer stuff | 06:57 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: Wow. Perhaps I should go the terminal route, like minicom | 06:57 |
| RoshanK | adamonline46, i believe that the easiest would be to install vlc that should install the codecs required | 06:57 |
| JoshJ | scp SourceFile.ext user@host:directory/TargetFile.ext | 06:58 |
| JoshJ | scp user@host:folder/SourceFile.ext TargetFile.ext | 06:58 |
| JoshJ | (if you're using SCP) | 06:58 |
| Alchera | http://www.medibuntu.org/ <== | 06:58 |
| JoshJ | it's part of ssh though, and obviously the @host one has to have sshd installed | 06:58 |
| adamonline46 | carpediem: Oh really? Hmm. That's news to me. I'm wondering if I'm having problems ripping video, or playing my rips. I really dunno where to go from here... | 06:58 |
| JoshJ | you could also use telnet actually, i'm pretty sure CE has telnet built in | 06:58 |
| adamonline46 | RoshanK: I'll search for that package, thank you | 06:59 |
| bullgard4 | Is there a Synaptic procedure available which is roughly equivalent to apt-cache show <package-name>? | 06:59 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: I would learn a lot, which is my goal with Ubuntu, but that seems complicated. I could also stick an Ethernet card in the HP620LX and connect via internet | 06:59 |

| mapez | Has anyone here got their Wii remotes working with Ubuntu? | 06:59 |
| JoshJ | Fezzler: well, if you did it via internet you'd need some sort of internet file transfer | 07:00 |
| JoshJ | which would be HTTP (web pages, requiring apache or some other web server); FTP; SSH (SCP); Telnet; whatever | 07:00 |
| bullgard4 | Kann man mittels Synaptic zu einem ähnlichen Ergebnis kommen wie mittels des Befehls apt-cache show <Paketname>? | 07:00 |
| JoshJ | unless you're doing it by e-mailing yourself, but that's not how you're "supposed" to do it | 07:00 |

| Fezzler | JoshJ: WinCE has ScottyFTP and Firefox has FTP too | 07:01 |
| JoshJ | bullgard4: if you highlight the program in synaptic , right-click, properties, and hit "description" you can get a lot of it | 07:01 |
| ogre | can anyone tell me the name of a good video joining app? | 07:02 |
| JoshJ | Fezzler: Firefox's FTP is a downloader, not a server. you'll need a FTP server such as ftpd | 07:02 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: For my own education, with some sort of sock on Pocket Explorer connecting to my Ubuntu pc, and Ubuntu establishing a ppp connection, what do I have? | 07:02 |
| Alchera | god i love google | 07:02 |
| Fezzler | joshJ: samba? | 07:03 |
| JoshJ | Fezzler: no | 07:03 |

| Alchera | it goes stereo with cider | 07:03 |
| JoshJ | i'm not very familiar with ppp | 07:03 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: Well how do CE devices "see" windows file systems? | 07:03 |
| JoshJ | as NTFS | 07:03 |
| alfermp | hey guys can anyone have a link for intall cairo-dock? | 07:03 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: Ubuntu have NTSF? | 07:04 |
| JoshJ | samba is for networked file systems | 07:04 |
| JoshJ | (and to windows, it's "SMB") | 07:04 |
| JoshJ | Fezzler: NTFS is a file system, you don't use it to transfer files | 07:04 |
| JoshJ | so unless you can mount the palm's hard drive as a NTFS drive in Ubuntu that's not relevant | 07:05 |
| JoshJ | (if you can, that's a pretty easy way to transfer stuff) | 07:05 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: Well, when a CE device is connected to WIN98, the device is mounted and you can drag n drop files | 07:05 |
| alfermp | hey guys can anyone tell me a link for install cairo-dock? | 07:05 |
| JoshJ | Fezzler: it's possible, check ntfs-config and see if it finds a NTFS drive that matches your palm | 07:05 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: this is interesting | 07:05 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: Now? | 07:06 |

| bullgard4 | JoshJ: As an example I have taken the program package 'debian-archive-keyring'. I cannot extract half as much information when using Synaptics as you suggested compared with apt-cache show debian-archive-keyring. | 07:07 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: Where do I find ntfs-config, command line? | 07:07 |
| rich1 | hi. i can't play yahoo chess on opera. i'm using gutsy and opera 9.25. | 07:07 |

| JoshJ | sudo apt-get install ntfs-config, then run it via command line or alt-f2 | 07:07 |

| Kuroachia | JoshJ: All right I'll take a look. Hopefully there won't be anything surprising. :) | 07:18 |
| Fezzler | I can serve files to my ISP home page and download them from there | 07:18 |
| SJrX | hmmmm no it's not a package conflict its files that get touched by it. | 07:19 |
| SJrX | Hmmmm | 07:19 |
| SJrX | damn KDE packages | 07:19 |
| JoshJ | SJrX: do man dpkg and look under the --force- options | 07:19 |
| SJrX | hmmm yeah I know that, I was hoping to do this with apt since there is a bunch and I don't want to download a crap load of debs. | 07:19 |
| JoshJ | overwrite may do what you want, breaks may do what you want, i'm not sure | 07:19 |
| Fezzler | JoshJ: seems odd that transfering files via serial port is so tough. I do it with my old Tandy Model 100 on all sorts of devices | 07:19 |

| dirkg3nt1y | JoshJ, I think it does, I've just started it. | 07:25 |
| JoshJ | you may want to do like /list 10 or /list 50 so you don't get 1000 channels :p | 07:25 |

| marx2k | quick question... if I have 32-bit Ubuntu installed, whats the easiest method of upgrading to 64 bit? Total reinstall? | 07:37 |
| qwerty121 | Hi all! Installed build-essential. but can't find stdio.h in /usr/include. Any clue? | 07:40 |
| noshutdown | has anyone had problems with ubunt 7.10 live disk on amd systems with ati video cards? | 07:41 |
| sdornan | can't find stdio? that'd definitely not a good thing | 07:41 |
| Myrtti | qwerty121: sudo updatedb; locate stdio.h | 07:41 |
| Myrtti | qwerty121: do you have the headers and -dev files installed? | 07:42 |
| Slart | marx2k: afaik, yes. You'll have to reinstall | 07:42 |
| qwerty121 | Myritti: dunno. How can i find out? | 07:43 |
| timfrost | marx2k: Correct - you can add 32-bit support to a 64-bit environment, but a full re-install is needed to convert from one to the other | 07:43 |
| marx2k | timfrost: damn. ok, thanks :) Any idea how stable the 64 bit is nowadays? | 07:44 |
| antixpaul | noshutdown I installed from the latest kubuntu a few days ago and my gfx is ati, I had so few problems I feel kind of cheated :( | 07:44 |
| Myrtti | qwerty121: what are you trying to compile anyway? | 07:44 |
| qwerty121 | Myritti: C | 07:44 |
| Myrtti | qwerty121: what app? | 07:44 |
| qwerty121 | Myritti: i am trying to compile c programs. Your code gave me this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49664/ But should not it be in /usr/include instead of /usr/include/bits? | 07:45 |
| antixpaul | with gcc? | 07:48 |
| qwerty121 | yap | 07:48 |
| Kuroachia | Not to interrupt but another question if anyone has an answer. My laptop has been having trouble playing DVD's now that I have installed ubuntu and I'm wondering if it might be due to my videocard or my diskdrive? I've tried several DVD's and they all give me a sort of pixelated look (have a screenshot if you're wondering). Any recommendations? Like I said, there was no problem when I was using the factory pre-installed os&drivers. | 07:48 |
| Myrtti | qwerty121: it is in /usr/include | 07:48 |

| timfrost | qwerty121: The main error is because of the quote characters - single quote (') is for ONE CHARACTER while doube quotes (") is for a string. You need to use the correct quotes. | 08:07 |
| gkasinath | yes, I downloaded that via the restricted driver manager. I also tried the driver (catalyst) from ATI, whats the difference between them btw? | 08:08 |
| gkasinath | Jeffgr, sorry I forgot to highlite you on my previous response which is: yes, I downloaded that via the restricted driver manager. I also tried the driver (catalyst) from ATI, whats the difference between them btw? | 08:09 |
| jeffgr | gkasinath: i don't really know, i have an nvidia card, but hold on i'm looking some stuff up for you | 08:10 |

| gkasinath | thanks for that mate, I ll give it a shot too. | 08:13 |
| antixpaul | luke_: you should have a volume icon in your system tray? if you open it and go to the "mixer" there should be a switches tab with the option to enable jacksense | 08:13 |

| jeffgr | gkasinath: the vesa driver you don't want because that is like a generic thing | 08:20 |
| gkasinath | okie | 08:20 |
| gkasinath | jeffgr, okie. So no to VESA | 08:20 |
| jeffgr | gkasinath: DRI allows you to do 3d accelerated stuff i think, you can read more about it here: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | 08:21 |

| gkasinath | Jeffgr, yup, reading that. | 08:21 |

| gkasinath | jeffgr, on my desktop, which was running Windoze till I pulled it out and installed Ubuntu (I am very impressed with Ubuntu, which I have been using on my notebook since 6.06), I could have the task bar give separate list of windows. Can the same be done w/ ubuntu mergedfb? watdya reckon? | 08:24 |
| jeffgr | gkasinath: i'm pretty sure you can.. | 08:25 |
| jeffgr | gkasinath: so you want it to span on to both screens as one bar? | 08:25 |
| frederick85 | I had a problem installing ubuntu from alternative cd | 08:26 |
| frederick85 | when it gets to the point scanning apt mirror it freezes | 08:26 |
| frederick85 | so I keep pulling out of installation at that point | 08:26 |
| gkasinath | Jeffgr, well, I dont want it to span both screens as one bar. Infact I want both screens to be independent w/ different desktop wallpaper and gamma settings. | 08:26 |
| luke_ | antixpaul, will it fix my problems if i switch to kde? | 08:27 |
| jeffgr | gkasinath: okay, well you can actually do that pretty easily | 08:27 |
| jeffgr | gkasinath: when you make the task bar, just set it to show windows from only the current workspace | 08:28 |

| jeffgr | gkasinath: (it is by default), so i guess you just need to have both monitors on separate workspaces | 08:28 |

| jeffgr | frederick85: have you verified the cd to make sure it was burned correctly? | 08:30 |

| gkasinath | jeffgr, yup. :( | 08:34 |
| slyder | applyppf RESIDENT_EVIL_EXTINCTION.iso patch.ppf, this was before trying your ./filename jeffgr | 08:34 |
| frederick85 | jeffgr: it is the same with debian, It forces me to use primitive mirrors on installation | 08:35 |
| jeffgr | gkasinath: okay so you are spanning displays so it thinks it is one screen basically | 08:35 |
| frederick85 | jeffgr: there is no option of networkless installation is there? | 08:35 |
| antixpaul | luke_: just "sudo apt-get install alsa-base" | 08:35 |
| frederick85 | from alternative | 08:35 |
| jeffgr | frederick85: i was just about to say your network card might not be recognized by default | 08:35 |
| luke_ | antixpaul, will that install all the plugins? | 08:35 |
| jeffgr | slyder: can you type applyppf --help | 08:36 |
| frederick85 | jeffgr: the config for it worked and dhcp worked, problem is scanning the apt mirror doesn't so perhaps server is down | 08:36 |
| antixpaul | luke_: I'm not sure but I doubt you need them | 08:36 |
| frederick85 | jeffgr: i'd like a minimal ubuntu installation without network, so I can configure it to a local server and do it myself later, thats the fun of it | 08:36 |
| luke_ | antixpaul, doesent work :( | 08:36 |
| gkasinath | jeffgr, hhmm... okie.. I do have two device, monitor and screen sections in xorg.conf to represent each of them. | 08:37 |
| slyder | yea i did that jeffgr but file help also does not exist haha | 08:37 |
| jeffgr | frederick85: maybe so, try installing it with the network cable unplugged, i'm pretty sure you don't need internet to install it | 08:37 |
| antixpaul | luke_: did you open the gnome alsa mixer? | 08:37 |
| jeffgr | slyder: do you have applyppf installed? | 08:37 |
| luke_ | antixpaul, ya | 08:37 |
| jeffgr | gkasinath: there are some different modes, try a different one, i can't recall them off the top of my head, i'll look them up in a sec | 08:38 |
| frederick85 | jeffgr: I did and it kept asking me to configure my network card, very rude installer... | 08:38 |
| jeffgr | frederick85: that is pretty lame, you can't use the regular installer? | 08:39 |

| slyder | yea it's there too but it's saying the iso file doesn't exist not the patch file | 08:46 |
| jeffgr | gkasinath: there are different modes, at least in nvidia like twinview and xinerama, i don't know what they are in ATi though :[ | 08:46 |
| slyder | and from the source code it says to use this command, Usage: ApplyPPF <Binfile> <PPF-File>\n"), which i've been using, except i named mine applyppf all in lowercase when compiling | 08:47 |
| jeffgr | slyder: the permissions look all messed up, also why it is being owned by root:plugdev | 08:47 |
| slyder | well it's on a ntfs drive and that's how ubuntu set it up i haven't messed with the default actions | 08:48 |
| jeffgr | slyder: oohhh, try copying it to your home directory and doing it there | 08:48 |
| slyder | wish i could but i don't have enough hard drive space in my home directory to fit this thing heh | 08:49 |

| bmbernie | Volvagia356: you cant mount your disk rw ? | 09:26 |
| ompaul | Volvagia356, so you look at what it is mounted as, for the purposes of this exercise lets call it /mount/mydisk then we could chown the mydisk sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /mount/mydisk ---- warning do not do this on a paritition like / or /usr that would break it in very new and not so interesting ways - you would need a live CD to rescue your data and then a fresh install would be fastest | 09:26 |
| malnilion | jago, you're probably running xchat-gnome | 09:26 |

| mOrO^ | katyush-free, do you do much complicated html? If not, Id download the old Netscape Composer | 09:38 |
| bmbernie | katyush-free: according to http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-nvu-the-web-authoring-system you just need multiverse and universe | 09:38 |
| katyush-free | mOrO^, i need something simple and graphic | 09:38 |
| malnilion | Silver_Fox, I'd help, but I don't really know anything about alsa configuration | 09:38 |
| mOrO^ | katyush-free, actually its called Icecape Composer...it is in the repositories. | 09:39 |
| katyush-free | bmbernie, i read this article but apt-get says it doesnt exists | 09:39 |
| mOrO^ | katyush-free, Yes, this Icecape Composer is very simple | 09:39 |
| Volvagia356 | it says that it's clean : /dev/sdb1: clean, 114808/9601024 files, 1061068/19183610 blocks | 09:39 |
| Tilllinux | tim167: I don't no xiphQT... is that some kind of quicktime replacement? | 09:40 |
| Silver_Fox | malnilion, great, thanks a million! Neather do I. | 09:40 |
| katyush-free | mOrO^, thanks ,I'm apt-geting Kompozer suggested by Tilllinux, then i"ll try icecape | 09:40 |
| tim167 | Tilllinux, its the component necessary to read ogg/theora on OSX | 09:40 |
| Silver_Fox | malnilion, I just need to undo all those steps the guy posted | 09:40 |
| mOrO^ | katyush-free, You will find Icecape Composer much easier than Kompozer | 09:40 |
| idkhn | never mind everyone, i fixed it | 09:40 |
| bmbernie | yeah i don't have access to nvu. maybe it is depreciated. | 09:40 |
| Tilllinux | yes, it is. kompozer is "a sequel" to nvu ;) | 09:41 |
| malnilion | Silver_Fox, was your sound working before? | 09:41 |
| Silver_Fox | malnilion, yeah, just when i pluged in headphones, the laptop speakers wouldent turn off | 09:42 |
| tim167 | Tilllinux, the reason i'm asking is i wonder if i should continue to encode all my video in ogg/theora, since someone on #mplayer mentioned it is 'broken' and I shouldnt use it...but the thing is i have this handy java plugin to put ogg/theora videos on webpages. so i wonder if ogg/theora is still actively maintained or developed... | 09:43 |
| fsanlu | do turning on restricted drivers (the firmware) have small possibility on making the wifi unstable? | 09:43 |
| katyush-free | Tilllinux, so Kompozer is nvu? | 09:43 |
| ompaul | Volvagia356, is it running okay or not? | 09:43 |
| Tilllinux | tim167: I've been looking for a java ogg plugin :) what is it called? | 09:43 |
| Volvagia356 | I hadn't rebooted yet, should I do so now? | 09:43 |
| Tilllinux | katyush-free: it's using nvu's code, I think | 09:44 |
| tim167 | Tilllinux, cortado i beleive | 09:44 |
| malnilion | Silver_Fox, well, something I'm noticing about this guide is that if I recall correctly, it's telling you to install drivers that are older than what should have come with Gutsy | 09:44 |
| katyush-free | Tilllinux, did you try it? did you try ice-cape? | 09:44 |
| tim167 | Tilllinux, http://www.flumotion.net/cortado/ | 09:45 |

| jack-desktop | why can't i open any folders /cry | 10:00 |
| malnilion | Silver_Fox, then try changing it to model=default or model=laptop | 10:00 |
| Silver_Fox | so that options snd-hda-intel model=default-eapd instead of options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-eapd? | 10:01 |
| malnilion | Silver_Fox, no just "model=default" | 10:01 |
| Silver_Fox | ok | 10:02 |

| ivze | Good <your time>, everybody! I have a trouble, and i would be glad, if somebody helped me with it. After adding additional memory to my system(512 -> 1024+512) the kernel started to freeze (completely dead, no reaction to NumLock). This happens with an average time of about a hour. Following the advise of a man from #ubuntu, i have performed a memory test: 12 hours of test, no faults. That's the situation! Thanks for reading :) | 10:12 |

| rukus | demonskier: in ibuntu you have to sudo su | 10:14 |
| demonskier | in terminal? | 10:14 |
| Silver_Fox | malnilion, Maybe u misunderstood me on something.. I did step 3 like this. vi /etc/modprobe.d/options in the terminal> paisted this derectly into whatever came up in the terminal options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-eapd>it said Warning or somthing about me changing something important.. Thne boom, i restart, no sound... | 10:15 |
| lesshaste_ | is the netgear wg111 usb wireless adaptor supported in ubuntu? | 10:15 |
| B-rabbit | hi all :) | 10:15 |
| demonskier | most wireless arent but u can use the diswrapper to use a windows driver | 10:15 |
| malnilion | Silver_Fox, I think I understood. The thing is I now don't think what you did by editing that file was the source of your problems. I think installing the drivers might have been. | 10:16 |
| Tilllinux | demonskier: that means, my brother is lucky, 'cause his wlan worked outofthebox | 10:16 |
| Tilllinux | with wpa2 | 10:16 |
| lesshaste_ | demonskier, ah..that's worrying... I haven't bought it yet.. how can I find a list of supported wireless adaptors? | 10:16 |
| demonskier | i gess he is | 10:16 |
| malnilion | Silver_Fox, I don't really know how to undo what you did though :/ | 10:16 |
| demonskier | im a noob to linux and it took me 2 days to set up my wireless | 10:17 |
| scguy318 | lesshaste_: with ndiswrapper sure | 10:17 |
| scguy318 | !wireless | lesshaste_ | 10:17 |
| ubotu | lesshaste_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:17 |
| demonskier | um i have no idea where to find a list of supported but if u read the forum ndiswrapper works really welll | 10:18 |
| Silver_Fox | malnilion, well how did that deleat all my sound or wtever. I click on volume control now and it says no volume control GStreamer plugins/or devices found | 10:18 |
| lesshaste_ | scguy318, thanks.. I haven't bought it yet... is it risky to rely on ndiswrapper? | 10:18 |
| demonskier | anyone no how i can put folders and files directly into the file system because it isn't letting me | 10:19 |
| livingdaylight | thx for the tip on how to kill processes via System Monitor. Nice gui... but does someone here know the command line for killing process? | 10:19 |
| demonskier | ummmm leshaste i dono if its risky but from the reports i have read it works quite cconsistently | 10:19 |

| Tilllinux | try either: pkill firefox or killall -v firefox | 10:21 |
| rukus | does ubuntu have tree on the default install ? Just find the root process of firefox and kill that. | 10:21 |
| rukus | or try killall firefox_bin :) | 10:21 |
| livingdaylight | Tilllinux, -v or -9 ? | 10:21 |
| Tilllinux | ah yes, firefox_bin... you'll have to know the name of the process | 10:22 |
| Tilllinux | just leave out the -v | 10:22 |
| livingdaylight | Gracias Ubunteros! | 10:22 |

| iZoom | I have just installed Ubuntu, I have no internet connection on that box, is it possible to somehow get the mp3 codec to play .mp3 files onto a usb, and install from there? | 10:35 |
| rukus | iZoom: you mean form a Pc that does have internet ? | 10:36 |
| rukus | build a package once all the codecs are in ? | 10:36 |

| iZoom | I'm new to Ubuntu aswell. | 10:37 |
| iZoom | Is there a link to download it? | 10:37 |

| IndyGunFreak | drgeb: there should be a "delete this panel' option | 10:37 |

| gobbles414 | Hi all: I've got kind of a strange sound problem. Is anyone willing to try and help me? | 10:39 |
| frederick85 | livingdaylight: FreeBSD is a masterpiece and should be respected, They are a little arrogant however towards linux users. | 10:39 |
| drgeb | IndyGunFreak any idea which configuration file handles this ? | 10:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | drgeb: not a clue, never had that prob | 10:39 |

| JacobSingh | and I can't find it anywhere either | 10:40 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, i respect FreeBSD but to say they are a little arrogant is an understatement. I came to it with no preconceptions and was made to feel most unwelcome | 10:40 |

| IndyGunFreak | iZoom: did you get your answer? | 10:40 |
| gobbles414 | JacobSingh... There should be a folder called PDF in you home folder | 10:40 |
| iZoom | No? | 10:40 |
| rukus | livingdaylight: bsd tends towards minimalist, build what you need, linux tends to bundy everything or as much as possible, just appeals towards different poeple and eviroments. | 10:40 |

| IndyGunFreak | iZoom: then download gstreamer-plugins-ugly | 10:41 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, by culture i mean what you already touched upon when you said arrogant. I mean an attitude of elitism, hostility, and belligerence | 10:41 |

| frederick85 | livingdaylight: livingdaylight: i know very well what you mean. That is just on #freebsd if i'm right though | 10:42 |
| livingdaylight | rukus, well, pc-bsd is aiming towards Desktop not minimalist.. but i'm talking about the environment in the community - insular, and snobbish... opposed to welcoming, friendly and helpful | 10:42 |
| frederick85 | livingdaylight: FreeBSD is good to learn you just need to ignore the people who are that way | 10:42 |
| frederick85 | livingdaylight: the Handbook is exceptional | 10:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | gobbles414: whats your sound problem? | 10:43 |
| rukus | livingdaylight: I suppose, but linux ppl generate for to many queries to deal with when things are busy and you have a lot on your plate. | 10:43 |
| gobbles414 | JacobSingh: You're welcome. I do not know of any way to "print" to a different location. But you can always create a shortcut of the PDF folder in another location for quicker access | 10:43 |
| frederick85 | livingdaylight: /j #ubuntu-au | 10:43 |
| frederick85 | actually ignore that typo | 10:44 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, the Handbook, yes, they kept pointing to that as if it were the bible or the koran... but i found lots of links in there which were outdated, referring to windows 95 ... so i think it could do with refreshing and updating | 10:44 |

| gobbles414 | Hi IGF: I was trying to enable SPDIF output on my Asus G1 laptop, and now all of my sound is gone. I used "Method B" at the following URL <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller>. I tried rc1, rc3, and the final release | 10:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | gobbles414: whats your sound problem? | 10:45 |
| livingdaylight | rukus, i appreciate the objection that it is tiresome to constantly answer a question that is #3 on FAQ... but it is no reason or justificaiton imo for the attitude imo... that's just a racket then... a justified reason for venting at someone | 10:46 |
| gobbles414 | ...Would have tried "Method H", but it looked too frightening. | 10:46 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, actually, i installed pc-bsd | 10:46 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, it was fine but i didn't quite get to grips with installing from ports | 10:47 |
| eltew | does ubuntu have the following file: etc/inittab | 10:47 |
| eltew | ? | 10:47 |
| livingdaylight | alot of packages were quite old | 10:47 |
| frederick85 | livingdaylight: you just use a program called make | 10:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | gobbles414: weird, i've always got mine fixed by recompiling alsa. | 10:47 |
| frederick85 | livingdaylight: gentoo has portage which is similar but more easy | 10:48 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, well, you're really friendly and helpful as is rukus i just wish i had bumped into you then... | 10:48 |
| frederick85 | livingdaylight: theres a gentoo port of freebsd aswell | 10:48 |
| eltew | someone with ubuntu please go into terminal and type: locate inittab | 10:48 |

| frederick85 | livingdaylight: I just learnt it all in the last 3 months myself | 10:49 |
| eltew | rukus: i cannot find my file, according to my system it doesn't exist and i'm thinking thats why i can't access the terminals | 10:49 |
| rukus | MrSunshine: maybe first get all the rpm's, then do the installation. Most mirrors miss one or two rpms. | 10:49 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, it was just a matter of reorientation. I wasn't used to kde and the whole bsd way of doing things and needed a reorientation course | 10:49 |
| eltew | rukus: could you paste yours for me? | 10:49 |
| frederick85 | livingdaylight: what are you using now | 10:49 |
| MrSunshine | well how do i actualy do an upgrade ? ... i wont sit here and manualy download every package | 10:49 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, ubuntu :) | 10:49 |
| rukus | eltew: hectic, I don't know ubuntu's internals that well, but you need innittabe to boot to a certain level, or is init 6 the default ? | 10:50 |
| gobbles414 | Hi all: I see that IGF just left the room. He was helping me with a sound problem. Anybody else willing to help? | 10:50 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, i gave up on it... couldn't be assed to put up with the lack of support on the one hand and abuse on the other... | 10:50 |
| rsk | MrSunshine: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 10:50 |
| rukus | eltew: I can look for one quick, but can only get into suse boxes right now, or they the only ones that are up. | 10:50 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, in pc-bsd they have their own binaries but still too few of them... i will revisit in time though... | 10:51 |
| eltew | rukus: I wouldn't know since I haven't figured out all the basics of linux yet.. I get only a blinking cursor when I try to access any terminal via F keys | 10:51 |
| rukus | MrSunshine: maybe boot a copy of your system in vmware an dupgrade that, I can't handle upgrades that go south. | 10:51 |
| frederick85 | livingdaylight: I'll give you some tips where to go if u like | 10:51 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, sure... | 10:51 |
| eltew | rukus: I thank you but I don't think a SuSe file do the trick. | 10:51 |
| frederick85 | livingdaylight: theres linux distros that will teach you how to be more of an elitist | 10:51 |
| frederick85 | livingdaylight: just by installing them | 10:51 |
| rukus | eltew: well, inittab would bring up the terminals, so unless someone knows more than I do, inittab does seem suspect. | 10:51 |

| frederick85 | i havn't done linux from scratch myself | 10:52 |

| J_Laptop | even was one of the lead dev's on LFS for a long time | 10:52 |

| frederick85 | ? | 10:54 |
| livingdaylight | frederick85, sure, i'm just saying that its not for everyone | 10:54 |
| abdulla | wallekom | 10:54 |
| frederick85 | rukus: what are you using? | 10:54 |
| rukus | IndyGunFreak: it's linux, since when did ubuntu become the standard ? | 10:54 |
| J_Laptop | there is no standard | 10:54 |
| J_Laptop | but ubuntu does a lot of things differently than other distros | 10:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | rukus: that has nothing to do with it, your handing out bad info. | 10:55 |
| gobbles414 | IGF: and rukus: kldstat results in "command not found" | 10:55 |
| rukus | frederick85: FreeBSD for firewalls, suse for novell and web services, ubuntu for labs. | 10:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | gobbles414: unless you're using suse, don't listen to rukus | 10:55 |
| J_Laptop | so what you know from SuSE, or RH, or anything else, *MAY* not translate to ubuntu very well | 10:55 |
| rickympl | i'm trying to compile dazuko, and i keep getting the following error: .: 1565: linux.config: not found, help please, thanks | 10:55 |
| rukus | hmm, how does ubuntu list kernel drives ? | 10:55 |
| abdulla | can gmail integrate with evoloution mail or thunderbird? | 10:55 |
| J_Laptop | abdulla - either - gmail has an imap interface | 10:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | abdulla: yes | 10:55 |
| J_Laptop | but i've heard it's pretty slow | 10:55 |
| antixpaul | ubuntu for desktops :D | 10:55 |
| abdulla | so i must use imap J_Laptop ? | 10:56 |
| frederick85 | rukus: CS labs? | 10:56 |
| J_Laptop | if you want a mail client to interface with gmail, yes | 10:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | abdulla: no, Gmail is pop3 | 10:56 |
| frederick85 | rukus: are you a teacher | 10:56 |
| rukus | frederick85: yea. | 10:56 |
| stephenhall | adbulla: I use IMAP with Thunderbird and gmail | 10:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | J_Laptop: what are you talking about?... gmail is pop3 | 10:56 |
| rukus | frederick85: no, sysadmin for a universaty. | 10:56 |
| J_Laptop | nope, they have imap now | 10:56 |
| J_Laptop | but it's somewhat slow from what I heard | 10:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | J_Laptop: that must have been a very recent change | 10:56 |
| stephenhall | All settings are there in gmail help | 10:56 |
| J_Laptop | few weeks | 10:56 |
| frederick85 | rukus: in my university they use fedora :P i hope they change it | 10:56 |
| stephenhall | make sure you get the ports right | 10:56 |
| gobbles414 | abdulla... Ditto to what IGF says. I used Gmail with Thunderbird for awhile. Now I am using Gmail with Evolution. | 10:56 |
| J_Laptop | fedora is nice :) | 10:56 |
| J_Laptop | I like it as a desktop | 10:57 |
| abdulla | theyr is no pop3 but theyr is pop IndyGunFreak | 10:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | abdulla: like i said, that must be fairly recent | 10:57 |
| iZoom | When I ran ./configure it said C Complier cannot create executables | 10:57 |
| rukus | MrSunshine: I find ubuntu quiet simple once you get to a root terminal, myba emy approach is just different, the end result is the same, even if I have to build it from scratch on ubuntu. | 10:57 |
| abdulla | gobbles414, so you recommend the best and simple satisfying relaxing way for email checkups and cruising is evoloution mail? | 10:57 |
| frederick85 | J_Laptop: for some reason these things don't work so great for me. Ubuntu and Fedora are bad on my laptop desktop | 10:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | abdulla: if you don't mind the gmail interface(which i personally like it), just sudo apt-get install mail-notification set it up w/ your gmail account, and it will alert you in the taskbar when you get email | 10:58 |
| frederick85 | crashing, unexplained slowness | 10:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | i don't have any email programs. | 10:58 |
| J_Laptop | laptop's can sometimes be weird | 10:58 |
| J_Laptop | I've used both on my own laptop with good success | 10:58 |
| frederick85 | I find when I configure myself I get better results | 10:58 |
| frederick85 | Such as with gentoo/debian/freebsd | 10:58 |
| frederick85 | they work fine for me | 10:58 |
| rukus | frederick85: took me a day to build kde on my laptop, was worth it. nice and snappy. | 10:59 |
| J_Laptop | my only problem is the b43 driver's flakiness | 10:59 |
| frederick85 | rukus: i'm running xubuntu now I installed it from a gnome alternative cd | 10:59 |
| frederick85 | just installed command line only | 10:59 |
| G[iA]mMy | salve | 10:59 |
| iZoom | IndyGunFreak: I get his error when running ./configure C compiler cannot create executables | 10:59 |
| frederick85 | then found the packages I needed | 10:59 |
| rukus | anyway, got a pool and bbq to get to :) | 11:00 |
| J_Laptop | izoom - apt-get install build-essential | 11:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | iZoom: why are you running ./confiugre? download the deb files | 11:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | you'll go nuts compiling them from source but do as you please | 11:00 |
| gobbles414 | abdulla: I would rate evolution as a good program, with a couple of quirks. The main issue is that the address book refuses to sort by last name when you are composing a new message. When in the adress book itself, the names will sort by last name very easily. I switched to Evolution so that I could use an antivirus scanner (for my poor Windows friends of course). Gmail offers pop and imap both. I have always found imap to be a pain, so I h | 11:00 |
| iZoom | I couldn't find the Indy. | 11:00 |
| iZoom | them* | 11:00 |

| iZoom | Did you find it? | 11:01 |

| gobbles414 | IGF: any additional ideas on my sound problem. I've tried using the reinstall option for all ALSA and OSS entries that showed as installed on my system in Synaptic. | 11:02 |
| iZoom | IndyGun what one? | 11:02 |
| iZoom | libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 (0.10.14-1ubuntu3) | 11:02 |
| iZoom | GStreamer libraries from the "base" set | 11:02 |
| iZoom | libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev (0.10.14-1ubuntu3) | 11:02 |
| iZoom | GStreamer development files for libraries from the "base" set | 11:02 |
| frederick85 | is Ubuntu GNU/linux | 11:03 |
| sapumal | yes it is GNU/Linux distro | 11:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | iZoom: download the .deb file for either xmms or audacious, i think they have mp3 codec support built in | 11:04 |
| frederick85 | sapumal: some distros don't call themselves gnu/linux even though they use GNU software | 11:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | iZoom: the biggest problem, is you're gonna run into a bunch of dependency errors | 11:04 |
| J_Laptop | debian is about the only one that uses the GNU/Linux terminology | 11:04 |
| gobbles414 | IGF: I get "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." when I attempt to open the "Open Volume Control" | 11:04 |

| mouse | albator, try to kill X-session by ctrl-alt-del... may be re-started X should be fine. | 11:25 |
| albator | thx mouse | 11:25 |
| hkBst | chazco: becasue MSWord is a poorly specified format | 11:26 |
| mouse | albator, I have something similar under Qemu/VirtualBox. | 11:26 |

| Ubuntubruger3 | Hello. Doesn't compiz with the turning cube work in Kubuntu??? | 11:31 |
| mouse | chazco, if you want correct pagination, use pre-press text processors like tetex. No one word-processor's format can guarantee same pagination/formatting under different word-processors. Did you try OpenOffice under windows? | 11:31 |
| Vinconzo | Onyx, legal porn, i presume? | 11:32 |
| chazco | I only have access to Word on windows (and textmaker)... I dont have much choice in the format either unfortunatly | 11:32 |

| Cereal_ | here: I setup Conky yesterday. I gives me this error all the time: "Conky: statfs '/media/hda1': No such file or directory | 11:33 |

| Vinconzo | Onyx, ok. Just becouse you may not talk about illegal stuff in this channel ;) | 11:33 |

| Jeff-Hardy | I reinstalled 4 times today alone :( | 11:39 |
| Kalamansi | mouse: first install apt-get install cdrecord? | 11:40 |
| mouse | Kalamansi, first means to create iso-image and write it to standard output. Using pipe ("|") we are catching input data and pass it to cdrecord program. You can split this operations into two steps. | 11:41 |
| mouse | Kalamansi, yes, apt-get install cdrecord mkisofs | 11:41 |

| === matthijs is now known as IlovejumP | ||
| rhetoric | etfb, how did you explicitly select the driver? | 12:00 |
| etfb | rhetoric: Oh gods, this was ages ago. In some programs it's an option in preferences. But I don't know if it really matches your problem. I second what bullgard4 wrote. | 12:01 |
| Jordan_U | rhetoric, does "aplay < /dev/urandom" produce white noise? | 12:01 |
| kane77 | ^root^, dunno.. I just use it because I'm not too keen on kde apps.... | 12:01 |
| rhetoric | Jordan_U, nope nothing | 12:01 |
| etfb | kane77: Just out of curiosity, what do you dislike about KDE? I used to use Gnome and hated it; I'm a staunch Kubuntu user now. | 12:02 |
| Jordan_U | !sound | rhetoric | 12:02 |
| ubotu | rhetoric: 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 | 12:02 |

| ^root^ | oh okay... | 12:03 |
| riccardo | hi all | 12:03 |
| kane77 | gvsa123, you have users and groups.. in permissions you have access by the owner, group and others.. | 12:03 |
| Jordan_U | !hi | riccardo | 12:03 |
| ubotu | riccardo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 12:03 |
| bullgard4 | gvsa123: Basically, each file may either belong to an owner, a group and the rest of the world, or not. | 12:03 |
| rhetoric | Jordan_U, however, Preference>Sound>Test produces a beep, and yes I've been googling and reading forums for several hours now | 12:03 |
| Jordan_U | rhetoric, My guess is that for whatever reason you have things set to use OSS, and only the sound test recognizes that ( but you should be using ALSA anyway ) | 12:04 |
| gvsa123 | kane77: oh that adds to the confusion... lol... for example, how come i am not part of my own group by default? | 12:05 |
| ice109 | can someone help me, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg isn't working for me | 12:05 |
| rhetoric | how might I set things back to alsa | 12:05 |
| Jordan_U | rhetoric, That or sound is just being sent to the wrong channel | 12:05 |
| Jordan_U | rhetoric, See the message from ubotu | 12:05 |
| etfb | ice109: Stupid question #1: are you using sudo? | 12:05 |
| ice109 | etfb of course | 12:05 |
| ice109 | what i mean is that it's not configuring it for me correctly | 12:05 |

| etfb | ice109: Well, had to ask. It's one of those things you can take for granted and then everything else goes screwy. | 12:06 |
| Jordan_U | ice109, In what way? | 12:06 |
| gvsa123 | bullgard4: so if you are part of either owner or group, you can access depending on permissions? such that a non-owner but group member may have equal permissions to a file? and owners but non-group members may also have the same permissions? | 12:06 |
| ice109 | Jordan_U xwindows doesn't launch | 12:06 |

| ice109 | well it's xubuntu 7.04 | 12:07 |
| ^root^ | Jordan_U, i am connected using nautilus, i deleted some files, and its been years since its preparing to delete the files | 12:07 |
| kane77 | gvsa123, hmm.. well maybe because you don't need to be part of that group, as you will have access to the files because they belong to you... | 12:07 |

| Jordan_U | fsanlu, Broadcom card I assume? | 12:08 |
| ice109 | i'm actually in a livecd right now, anyway i can configure xorg correctly from here? | 12:08 |
| paritosh1010_ | antixpaul: well..i installed the bootloader on the usb drive. now the bootloader loads, but when i try to boot, it says "Grub error 17: cannot mount selected parittion" | 12:08 |
| gvsa123 | kane77: i am the owner so i don't need to be part of my group... but groups can be set to have the same permissions as the owners right? such as 0777 | 12:08 |
| fsanlu | Jordan_U, yah its cutting me off frequently | 12:08 |
| crush_groove | gvsa123, yes | 12:09 |
| Jordan_U | ice109, Yes, if the LiveCD is working then mount your Ubuntu partition and you can copy the xorg.conf from your liveCD session to your installed system | 12:09 |
| ice109 | hmm | 12:09 |
| ice109 | Jordan_U good idea | 12:09 |
| Jordan_U | fsanlu, What chipset version? | 12:09 |
| ice109 | but i'm running knoppix | 12:09 |
| ice109 | does that translate well? | 12:09 |
| fsanlu | Jordan_U bcm94311 rev 01 | 12:09 |
| Jordan_U | ice109, Most likely it will | 12:09 |
| ice109 | where is xorg again? | 12:09 |
| gvsa123 | crush_groove: kane77: and it is also possible that groups have permissions that owners do not? like 0177? | 12:10 |

| Jordan_U | Sonja, Yes | 12:11 |
| paritosh1010_ | antixpaul: the linux partition is ext3 | 12:11 |
| fsanlu | Jordan_U i looked at the wiki, and currently states not updated whether works for 64.. so yah had to confirm it with people first | 12:11 |
| fsanlu | argh got d/c'd again. | 12:11 |
| Sonja | i can set it up to be my file manager/viewer only | 12:11 |
| Sonja | and firefox for web? | 12:12 |
| Jordan_U | Sonja, Yes | 12:12 |
| Sonja | woot | 12:12 |
| etfb | Sonja: In Kubuntu (and KDE in general) it's the default file manager, much as Internet Explorer (disguised as Windows Explorer) is the file manager in another operating system whose name I forget. | 12:12 |
| Novalty | Whats a common one, where i can get some audio software? I dont know much about it. Sorry champ | 12:12 |
| antixpaul | I think those usb images are meant to be fat paritosh1010_ | 12:12 |

| etfb | Sonja: But you can use it in Gnome, XFce, etc. | 12:12 |
| Sonja | ok thanks | 12:12 |
| Jordan_U | Sonja, But don't mistake, konq is not hooked deeply into the OS like IE, it's very modular and simply calls KDE libraries when needed | 12:13 |
| paritosh1010_ | antixpaul: its an external hard disk. not a pen drive? i created an ext3 partition on it. | 12:13 |
| Sonja | thanks | 12:14 |
| Sonja | how do i tell ubuntu to use such a program for this, and such a program for that | 12:14 |
| Sonja | e.g. open all audio files with exaile and notheing else | 12:14 |
| Sonja | by default upon double click | 12:15 |
| bullgard4 | gvsa123: You need to be more precise about 'permissions'. Usually, when people speak about 'permissions' they mean the set of permission to user, to group and to the rest of the world. Permissions of the type you are speaking of are given to files, not to persons. If a file xyz.doc has write permissions to the owner and a group 'abc', then the owner and all members of the group 'abc' will have the equal right to write to the file 'xyz.doc' | 12:15 |

| gvsa123 | crush_groove: hmmm... i'm not even sure my question is clear to me... lol... so there's really no big difference if you are an owner or part of group, so long as they have the same set of permissions? such that groups may actually have greater permissions than the actual owner of the file | 12:16 |
| etfb | Sonja: In Konq, that's an option in a menu somewhere. Let me see if I can find it for you... | 12:16 |

| gvsa123 | bullgard4: i'll try to be clear... permissions (read, write, exec) refers to what can be done to a file by a user? while groups can also be set to only have exec permissions? | 12:18 |

| Sonja | i dont understant hta comment | 12:22 |
| gvsa123 | bullgard4: and giving permissions or privileges to groups is different from that because you give/limit the group and not the files? | 12:22 |
| antixpaul | paritosh1010_: when grub first pops up press c to get to the command line then type 'root (scd0,x)' where x is your usb drive | 12:22 |

| antixpaul | paritosh1010_: then 'boot' | 12:23 |
| paritosh1010_ | ok | 12:23 |
| gvsa123 | bullgard4: so once you set that a group is only allowed to execute and no read and write, that's all they can ever do? they cannot even make their own files? | 12:23 |
| paritosh1010_ | antixpaul: ill try that | 12:23 |
| brobostigon | beni_: no idea | 12:23 |
| Jordan_U | vega--, Looks like there is: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn | 12:24 |
| bullgard4 | gvsa123: No. giving permissions or privileges to groups is not different to giving permissions/privileges to the owner. To limit or define the size of the group is another (a separate) matter. | 12:24 |
| etfb | Sonja: I'll show you. Watch your chat window and keep an eye out for a new tab or whatever... | 12:24 |
| Sonja | yup i know how irc works :) | 12:25 |
| etfb | Sonja: That's all I meant. When Jordan_U sent "!offline", I deduced his thought processes as "these two are talking in depth about one topic in a busy channel, I'll send them the info on how to take the chat offline (ie to private chat) to reduce clutter". | 12:26 |
| gvsa123 | bullgard4: i see the file permissions already.. i hope... what about the difference between users and groups mentioned a while ago? | 12:26 |
| etfb | Sonja: When really he meant "I need more sleep or more caffeine". | 12:26 |
| Sonja | i think our covo was on topic though | 12:26 |
| vega-- | Jordan_U: and the list archive has download links conveniently, thanks! | 12:26 |
| Jordan_U | vega--, np | 12:26 |
| bullgard4 | gvsa123: The basic thing is a particular file. You will entitle a group to execute certain rights for that file. Later, you can create another file. And here again, you can entitle the same group the same rights to that second file, if you wish so. Or do ist differently with the second file. | 12:27 |
| bullgard4 | it | 12:27 |
| Jordan_U | vega--, What do you need it for out of curiosity? | 12:27 |
| etfb | Sonja: That's why I was confused. Never mind, it's all sorted now. | 12:28 |
| bullgard4 | gvsa123: Be more specific with your question: "what about the difference between users and groups mentioned a while ago?" please. | 12:28 |
| gvsa123 | bullgard4: okay... i'll try to translate this in writing... | 12:29 |
| etfb | Sonja: Incidentally, are you using Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or something else? Is Konq a good fit, or do you prefer something else? I find Gnome too plasticy for my tastes; KDE gives you lots of options to reconfigure things. | 12:29 |
| Sonja | ubuntu no K | 12:29 |
| Sonja | is therea gnomy equivalent to konq for fire management and file viewing? | 12:30 |
| Sonja | file | 12:30 |

| thor | bonchon you probably need to add a modeline to xorg.conf for the resolution you need. Look at the man page for 'gtf' and google 'sorg.conf modeline' for more information | 13:44 |

| rsk | aproximitly | 13:47 |
| ximpul | Onyx: arent credentials cached for a bit using gksudo ? | 13:48 |

| bryan | uzerzero: still not working :( , let me explain the problem so you have more information , i have motherboard of intel DG965WH, i am trying to install ubuntu 7.10 desktop 64 bit , i got to the first screen (where i can choose install without graphics etc... ) when i choose the first option to install, all the computer like stuck .. moving very slow after a while its get to progress bar (the progress bar moving very slow and blink) that's | 13:48 |
| bryan | it.... ? | 13:48 |
| Onyx | ximpul: No idea dude... this is my first foray back into the Linux in about six years. | 13:48 |
| ximpul | Pici: Onyx: mmm i would be more concerned with the credentials being cached | 13:49 |
| Pici | ximpul: Why? It only caches them for a few minutes and all the *sudo commands do that. | 13:49 |
| ximpul | Onyx: o rly ? well then you should not have many concerns here | 13:49 |
| bonchon | crap. my screen is completely hosed. I picked the wrong driver and logged out, now all i can see are diagonal scan lines | 13:49 |
| bonchon | is there anything I can do at all? | 13:49 |
| ximpul | Pici: if he were deploying ubuntu or something that would have been an issue | 13:50 |
| Onyx | ximpul: I was thinking the same as Pici there... I've only seen the sudo commands cache the stuff for about 5 minutes if that. | 13:50 |
| ximpul | Onyx: cool | 13:50 |
| thor | bonchon I know of no way in ubuntu to revert to a previous version of a package. I have seen too many problems similar to yours lately and have completely disabled 'upgrades' unless I find some improvement I can't live without. | 13:50 |
| melgish | hmmm... no response to my query... retry with different words: How do I defrag my ubuntu system partition | 13:50 |
| Pici | ximpul: It only caches them for about 5 or 10 minutes, and this can be configured if needed (I dont remember where though) | 13:50 |
| ximpul | Pici: gotcha | 13:51 |
| ivze | I have a trouble, and i would be glad, if somebody helped me with it. After adding additional memory to my system(512 -> 1024+512) the kernel started to freeze (completely dead, no reaction to NumLock). This happens with an average time of about a hour. Following the advise of a man from #ubuntu, i have performed a memory test: 12 hours of test, no faults. That's the situation! I have asked the question here about 8 hours ago, i hope, now there are more people. | 13:51 |
| thor | bonchon can you hit Alt-F2 and switch to a console login to fix it? | 13:52 |
| thor | bonchon might need Alt-Ctrl-F2 | 13:52 |
| ximpul | ivze: how did you run the memory test ? | 13:52 |
| Archie1 | is it better to install 7.10 from a cd than to upgrade from 7.4 or is it the same exact thing? | 13:53 |
| ximpul | hmmm 12hrs of test but you asked 8 hrs ago... is this a riddle ? | 13:53 |
| ivze | -ximpul-: reboot->grub menu intem->test(default, no options changed) | 13:53 |

| NET||abuse | hey guys.. i've got a buffalo g54 here,, and i've had this happen to another buffalo g54 before, you plug it in, and the red diag light is on, just seems to be dead as a door nail.. anything that can be done? | 14:14 |
| mic | hello everybody, would someone know what I could be doing wrong when sound (alsa?) stops working after sleeping/suspending? | 14:14 |
| Jordan_U | wols, It's backwards compatible, sisvinit is gone, but not all of the scripts use the features of upstart yet | 14:14 |
| wols | NET||abuse: you can ask in other places. this is OT. e.g. like ##hardware | 14:14 |

| NET||abuse | wols: kya,, askin in there then,, | 14:14 |
| ximpul | TheGateKeeper: any log messages in dmesg ? | 14:14 |
| Archie1 | wols: is there any file that loads scripts at boot time? | 14:15 |
| melgish | thanks but I think i mislead y'all. The 'virtual' disk size is 128G, but it's actual size is 3.5G (ie it will expand as needed) in the windows world, I'd use defrag at this point to consolodate the free-space into a larger block, and allow for a smaller vmdk file. I know there are no defrag utils for ubuntu (nor the need for them) but was wondering if there was a way to clone the drive such that free space on the 'cloned' drive is consol | 14:15 |
| TheGateKeeper | ximpul, must confess didn't look it there, I can have a look next time I have a play if it helps | 14:15 |
| Archie1 | wols: /etc/profile? | 14:15 |
| TheGateKeeper | ximpul, I was using gparted to sort my hd out | 14:15 |
| wols | Archie1: that has nothing to do. it's a shell related file | 14:16 |
| wols | Archie1: what do you want to start at boottime exactly? | 14:16 |
| Archie1 | my own script | 14:16 |
| ximpul | TheGateKeeper: sure, if you are able to reproduce it, go here to report a bug : http://www.ubuntu.com/community/reportproblem | 14:16 |
| wols | what does the script DO? | 14:16 |
| Archie1 | wols: none of you business | 14:17 |
| Archie1 | :-P | 14:17 |
| TheGateKeeper | ximpul, ok :) | 14:17 |
| wols | ok | 14:17 |
| Archie1 | ehh i am being terribly annoying sorry | 14:17 |
| Jordan_U | melgish, You can use partimage | 14:17 |

| wols | s1ph3r: I asked you something, please answer | 14:36 |
| s1ph3r | yes I have. | 14:36 |
| s1ph3r | thats what it defaults to with failsafe | 14:36 |

| s1ph3r | I get video for the short time of selecting the video card/monitor. | 14:36 |
| wols | s1ph3r: either use a text mode install or next time it flickers with vesa and dies go to console 2 (ctrl+alt+f2) and check /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 14:37 |
| gvsa123 | stdin: so the owner in chown, is actually the user? and the group in chgrp is the same groups found in manage groups? | 14:37 |

| wols | anton: plug his computer into your router too and you're done | 14:38 |
| stdin | gvsa123: check what the group name is for the home directories of the users, if it's different to your group add yourself to it. if not, then you can just "sudo chmod 700 ~/" which makes the owner the only one who can access your home dir (except for root) | 14:38 |

| mouse | zylche, e2label /dev/sdb1 should report error about wrong superblock, shouldn't? | 14:58 |
| Buyydee | el bot tambien :) | 14:58 |
| stdin | gvsa123: for example, if you suid (set UID) an executable, then when a user runs that executable it's ran as if the owner ran it (rather than the user) | 14:58 |
| mouse | Buyydee, si :) | 14:58 |
| syc_ | Pici: how do you know that im indonesian ? | 14:59 |

| gvsa123 | stdin: User ID? | 14:59 |
| mouse | zylche, do you have any other filesystems on that drive? | 14:59 |
| zylche | The drive was being unmounted but it seemed to crash, so I had to pull the plug on the drive ... | 14:59 |
| stdin | gvsa123: yeah, same for sgid (set Group ID), it'd be ran with the permissions of the group that owns the file | 14:59 |
| syc_ | Pici: :D | 14:59 |
| wols | Buyydee: FULL menu.lst please | 14:59 |

| offload | Hey, I found a couple scripts that allow me to configure gmail as the default mail client in Ubuntu however when i click a email link nothing happens. But if I run the .sh script it opens firefox. I'm not really sure where to start troubleshooting this one. | 15:01 |
| wols | Buyydee: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49688/ should work | 15:01 |

| gvsa123 | stdin: i'll have a look | 15:01 |
| Buyydee | wols: would setup (hd0,2) in the grub command recognise the partition, if your entry worked? | 15:02 |
| stdin | gvsa123: "-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 7460 2007-12-20 19:40 /usr/bin/X" means that anyone can run it, but when they do it'll run as if the user and group that ran it was "root" | 15:02 |
| gvsa123 | stdin: -rwsr-sr-x means owner and group has s? | 15:02 |
| stdin | gvsa123: yes | 15:02 |
| max | sers | 15:02 |
| Tezasaurus | Does anybody have an idea why Azureus would keep crashing in 7.10? | 15:02 |

| x3roconf | are u using apt-get version? | 15:03 |
| xoqa | is there a quicker way to find the initab file.. this is what i'm running currently: find /* -name inittab -type f -print0 | 15:03 |

| Buyydee | max: das ist ein englischer channel | 15:04 |
| Buyydee | tezesaurus: this has to do with java | 15:04 |

| mouse | zylche, mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 -osb=98304 | 15:04 |
| zylche | AH. Thanks | 15:04 |
| stdin | gvsa123: if it was only -rwsr-xr-x, then it would be ran as user: root, group: (your group) | 15:04 |

| mouse | zylche, I suggest to run fsck.ext3 with -b option first. | 15:06 |
| gvsa123 | stdin: that's the t right? | 15:06 |
| Tezasaurus | whoop, sorry | 15:06 |
| stdin | gvsa123: yes, to both | 15:06 |
| Buyydee | i think tezasaurus' problem is the combination of java with compiz, i had the problem when running another java program (matlab) and got it fixed | 15:06 |

| stdin | gvsa123: permissions are complicated, but for good reason: you can talor exactly what each user/group can and can not do. for example you could make a file that anyone could write to, but only the user can read (think primitive email :P) | 15:08 |

| krim_ | I just created a new unpriviliged user and used button to start the screensaver, then I switched user and logged in with the unpriviliged one. I switched back, and all the programs I was running with the first user had been closed. Should it be like that? | 15:09 |
| bazhang | Tezasaurus: perhaps time to switch to a more stable client? | 15:09 |

| Buyydee | tezasaurus: sry then, that's the only problem i had when running azureus, can't help you anymore :( | 15:09 |
| gvsa123 | stdin: for that it should be 0733? | 15:10 |
| Tezasaurus | I'm all for switching clients, I never really liked azureus anyway- any recommendations? | 15:10 |
| menllyos | tried filezilla too, doesnt work, if i enable ssl it still reports to me that i need to enable it... :( | 15:10 |
| krim | Bittorrent client? rTorrent is very nice. | 15:10 |
| stdin | gvsa123: 0622, no need for it to be executable ;) | 15:11 |
| menllyos | deluge is pretty nice for a torrent client... | 15:11 |
| Andycasss | How can i check php5 logs? | 15:11 |
| bazhang | Tezasaurus: there are number of optiions availiable--rtorrent is the cli version, transmission, ktorrent, and deluge | 15:11 |
| gvsa123 | stdin: oh... i see.. i thought you had to add that for them to launch it... :) | 15:11 |
| x3roconf | transmission is good | 15:11 |
| mouse | zylche, try -nv and answer to all questions "y". this option wouldn't modify filesystem, but you can see how large damage is it. | 15:12 |
| bazhang | transmission is my choice as well | 15:12 |

| mouse | zylche, the best solution is to make image of disk and then try to do any modification of filesystem. | 15:16 |
| zylche | mouse: hmm.. so should I just try it with -v then? | 15:16 |
| zylche | Thing is, the disk is 320GB, and its the largest disk I have | 15:16 |

| fluxy | abdulla, what i mean is your gmail account and ur passport accounts are SEPARATE | 15:25 |
| mouse | pampanga, with ".desktop" I mean desktop file of your applet. It should be located somewhere in the system. You may just copy-paste from existent one and change program name/command. | 15:25 |

| bazhang | Ready^Go: there is a problem with flash at the moment | 15:33 |
| Pici | !flashissues | Ready^Go | 15:33 |
| ubotu | Ready^Go: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 15:33 |

| sunogbaga | Andycasss there you go.. :P | 15:34 |
| bazhang | kde and gnome Ready^Go | 15:34 |
| krim | Ready^Go: Ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE. | 15:34 |
| Pici | !flavors | Ready^Go | 15:34 |
| ubotu | Ready^Go: !GTK and !Qt are !GUI toolkits (i.e. software libraries that draw buttons, textboxes, etc). !GNOME, !KDE, !Xfce and friends are "!desktop environments", which build on top of such libraries to provide a "consistent" desktop experience. !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu | 15:34 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless that happens when you start dhcp-3? | 15:35 |

| bazhang | kde Ready^Go | 15:35 |
| krim | Ready^Go: There is no 'best', it's a matter of taste. Just check out some screenshots and choose the one you think looks good. | 15:35 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, i get "dhcpd self-test failed. Please fix the config file. | 15:36 |
| dhcpless | The error was" | 15:36 |
| bazhang | ubuntu gnome might be best for you Ready^Go | 15:36 |
| Xenobyte | Ready^Go, each has its ups and downs IMHO | 15:36 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, it doesnt tell me wht the error was... | 15:36 |

| krim | Ready^Go: from the official ubuntu site | 15:36 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless try to paste /var/log/syslog | 15:36 |

| Ready^Go | can you give me link ? | 15:37 |
| bazhang | Ready^Go: there should be a local mirror near you | 15:37 |

| bazhang | T7P: not really an ubuntu question--ask in ##windows | 15:38 |
| Pici | T7P: Its safe, but you probably want to run fixmbr afterwards, see ##windows for more info. | 15:38 |
| krim | T7P: I think you might have to 'repair' the MBR with the windows installation disc. That's what I've had to do in the past, but it's easy | 15:38 |

| Xenobyte | honestly, though, a screenshot doesn't tell you much | 15:40 |
| Ready^Go | amm | 15:40 |
| Vorbote | Sharpie: it may have another name, that's why I suggested to try out different commands that start with "wine-" (and gave you the easiest way to find them out). | 15:40 |

After logging into the unpriviliged user and then switching back to my regular user, all apps had been closed (except for the ones running in screen which I could reattach).

| stephantom | hey everyone, just a quick question. whenever you install custom themes these are installed in ~/.themes and are thus not available for the root user. applications launched via gksu can't adopt the themes. wouldn't a soft link in /root solve all this? | 15:42 |
| lukasz | thnx | 15:42 |

| danzigrules | [ Rule 3 ] I did a very good job ;p | 15:45 |
| Vorbote | Sharpie: that's not possible yet. You'll need to move your present .wine file somewhere else and start from scratch. (You should have stated that up front :-)) | 15:46 |
| ompaul | !test | 15:46 |
| danzigrules | [ Rule 3 ] I did a very good job ;p | 15:46 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, how do i do that? i modified /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf but is there another file? | 15:46 |
| Sharpie | Vorbote: ok, well, nvm then | 15:46 |
| Vorbote | Sharpie: there is a script out there that will allow you to install IE6 in a different directory. You can install your other software there then. | 15:47 |
| Vorbote | Sharpie: but I don't recall the name, :-( | 15:47 |
| Sharpie | Vorbote: my problem wasn't a non-functional ie (i just use ies4linux). i just wanted to remove/fix the gecko engine | 15:47 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless that is the correct file.. however you have 3 ifaces vmnet8 vmnet1 and eth0 | 15:48 |
| lukasz | I'm gonna wait patiently :) for the pm in forums | 15:48 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, those are vmware's i killed vmware but still get the same error | 15:48 |
| Vorbote | That's not possible AFAIK. Once it is installed, it is installed for good. I think you need to declare all the IE6 related libraries as non-native to stop wine from trying to install the gecko engine. | 15:49 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga,can you look here:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49693/ it's my dhcpd.conf | 15:49 |
| dhcpless | ? | 15:49 |

| albator | Hi im installing ubunto 7.10, I choose "start / install" from the boot menu but it always seems to try an run in live mode, is there any param i can force the install with? | 15:51 |
| vox | anyone around who is very familiar with ext2/3 filesystem? wondering if there's any harm to be done by setting the reserve block count to 0 on a storage drive? | 15:51 |
| vox | albator: once it has booted in live mode, it gives you the option to install | 15:51 |
| bazhang | albator: you need to get into the live cd environment first | 15:51 |
| thedracle | Hm, I'm having an issue installing Gutsy on a Dual-Core AMD Opertron System. | 15:51 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless hold on, i'll look for the line you will need | 15:51 |
| vox | thedracle: what's the issue | 15:51 |
| albator | ah, thats a drag, it takes hours as its a celeron with only 256 meg =s | 15:51 |
| krim | albator: There's an icon on the desktop, if you click it it'll install. Otherwise you could use the alternate installation cd (which I prefer) and install that way. | 15:51 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, thanks | 15:51 |
| === GMoonit is now known as Hot_Girl | ||
| thedracle | vox, Basically, it loads the kernel, but before getting to booting the live-cd system, it breaks into busy box. | 15:52 |
| sipher | how do I do a text install of ubuntu? | 15:52 |
| Hot_Girl | Boys: I cannot find an icon on my desktop - which is obviously there!! How do i find it?? | 15:52 |
| krim | sipher: Download the alternate installation cd. | 15:52 |
| vox | thedracle: ah | 15:52 |
| sipher | krim what!? | 15:52 |
| dhcpless | sipher, command line install? use the alternate CD | 15:52 |
| sipher | =/ lame | 15:52 |
| Pici | krim: Look up bash restricted or rbash. I havent touched it in years, so I'm not sure if I can help you, but take a look. | 15:52 |
| brobostigon | thedracle: i have a mac, and exactlly that happened t first when trying to install gutsy. | 15:52 |
| thedracle | brobostigon, What happened in your case? | 15:53 |
| vox | thedracle: i've had that before. trying to think how i fixed it | 15:53 |
| krim | sipher: Go to the Ubuntu download page and you'll see. | 15:53 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless can u try running dhcp3-server eth0 | 15:53 |
| albator | thats quite frustraighting, I left it whirring while i went to the shops and live had booted, I presumed it had defaulted to some option an rebooted it =s | 15:53 |
| thedracle | vox, The 64-bit installation seems a bit more testy than the 32-bit. | 15:53 |
| sipher | krim problem is I don't exactly have access to download it...and assumed you could simply do something like boot linux text | 15:53 |
| brobostigon | i had to load ide_core in blackbox, and then once booted adding ide_core to /etc.modules | 15:53 |
| brobostigon | /etc/modules | 15:53 |
| vox | thedracle: nah, there's not a great deal of difference. why are you using the 64-bit ver if i may ask? | 15:54 |
| krim | sipher: Oh, maybe someone else can help you then. | 15:54 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, there is no such command | 15:54 |
| thedracle | vox, Because Opertron is a 64-bit system. | 15:54 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless there should be, did you install dhcp3-server? | 15:54 |
| sipher | well, the real problem is installing using the regular gusty i386 install. | 15:54 |
| albator | yeah, but do u need 64 bit functionality? | 15:54 |
| rbd | anyone get ultramonkey working with gutsy? | 15:54 |
| thedracle | albator, Not neccessarily, but why sell myself short? | 15:55 |
| vox | thedracle: yes.. all the K8 procs are. but why do you need to run the 64bit variant? | 15:55 |
| Hot_Girl | Boys: I know there is a folder on my desktop - but i cannot see it --- how do i open it??? | 15:55 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, yes | 15:55 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless or try looking for the similar command | 15:55 |
| albator | Im a quick and dirty kinda guy ;) | 15:55 |
| brobostigon | hot_girl: enable see hidden folders in nautilus and navigate to desktop folder | 15:55 |
| bazhang | Hot_Girl: cd to Desktop from the terminal | 15:55 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, $ /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server eth0 start | 15:56 |
| dhcpless | Usage: /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status} | 15:56 |
| thedracle | brobostigon, So, do you have any idea why loading ide_core resolves this issue? Is it a problem with gutsy not understanding my particular IDE bus? | 15:56 |
| vox | thedracle: im running an opteron 165. unless you're doing massive number-crunching, or trying to access more than 4gb of ram, there's no real advantage to running the 64bit variant | 15:56 |
| thedracle | vox, I have 6GB of RAM. | 15:56 |
| vox | well that's a good reason then | 15:56 |
| vox | :) | 15:56 |
| thedracle | vox, The extended address space would be nice ;) Hehe. | 15:56 |
| brobostigon | thedrace: on mac gutsy, it wouldnt boot because it couldnt find the boot partition, ide_core allows it to see the hdd. | 15:57 |
| vox | thedracle: you may want to create a 32bit chroot when you've installed. it'll make life easier, trust me | 15:57 |
| albator | boot to live desktop, 22 mins so far, can u spare me 256 megs of your 6 gigs? :) | 15:57 |
| Hot_Girl | no dice brobostigon.... did not work... | 15:57 |
| vox | albator: ouch | 15:57 |

| ephilips | I have ubuntu running as a virtual Machine in VMWare workstation. There is a Kernel Head update, that when I install causes the Network adapter to disappear. Is there a documented procedure for dealing with this? | 16:13 |
| genii | Optimus55: When you installed, no network connection? | 16:13 |
| thedracle | brobostigon, Eh. It seems the initramfs that I fall into is out of the init script. I tried > modprobe ide_core, and then ./init -> It complains the filesystems are already mounted, etc, and then dumps me back into the ram system. | 16:13 |

| dhcpless | vox, changing to dhcp killed my internet connection but the DHCP server still gets the same error | 16:14 |
| thedracle | It's probably because I have SATA disks... | 16:14 |

| cannonball | Something weird, all my window borders went away. Anybody ever see that before? | 16:15 |

| Jack_Sparrow | finn_: this isnt the place for those kind of questions.. not surprised you are not getting an answer | 16:16 |
| genii | dhcpless: There is a good tutorial online for that | 16:16 |
| lleonard | cannonball: yes, have seen that happen with compiz | 16:16 |
| vox | dhcpless: you probably should've pointed that out heh | 16:16 |
| cannonball | lleonard: so logout and log back in is the only fix? Or can I manually start a process (like restarting kicker brings kde menu bar back, etc) ? | 16:17 |
| dhcpless | genii, which one? I read quite a few... | 16:17 |
| dhcpless | vox, sorry.... | 16:17 |

| pteague_work | ok, how do i add a pdf printer? | 16:18 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless oh man.. | 16:18 |
| lap | but it tell me this | 16:18 |
| lleonard | cannonball: not sure. it kept happening to me on 7.04 so I just kept compiz turned off until 7.10. | 16:18 |
| SpookyET | I find bash scripting ugly. Is there a modern shell with a decent scripting language? | 16:18 |
| cannonball | lleonard: nice. just running compiz detected that gtk-window-decotrator wasn't running and so it started it up for me. | 16:18 |
| zth | hey | 16:18 |
| hkBst | is it possible to do an upgrade from xubuntu-6.06 to ubuntu-7.10 ? | 16:18 |
| Pici | lap: Hold on, let me look at something for you. | 16:18 |
| daxroc | Do ati cards support compisite wm ? | 16:18 |
| zth | how do I see what application or process uses a specific device? like /dev/dsp | 16:18 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless sorry.. | 16:18 |
| tritium | pteague_work: System -> Administration -> Printers, then add printer | 16:18 |
| bazhang | hkBst: technically yes, but a long haul | 16:18 |
| lleonard | cannonball: that's a good easy fix to know! thanks! | 16:18 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, thanks for the help anyway | 16:19 |
| vox | lap: it probably means the server is being updated currently. try again in a few hours | 16:19 |
| lap | Pici: it's been 3 week that i've not touched my computer | 16:19 |
| lap | vox: ok | 16:19 |
| tritium | hkBst: you'll have to upgrade in steps | 16:19 |
| wols | zth: lsof | 16:19 |
| dhcpless | genii, i read this one, i'm stuck at the dhcp part | 16:19 |
| cannonball | lleonard: to be technically correct, I ran 'compiz --help' but it went through and did its startup checks before it actually printout out the help screen. | 16:19 |
| hkBst | hmm, I see. 6.10 is known not to support my wireless though :( | 16:19 |
| lap | vox: i'd look for the package libcairo2_1.4.10-1ubuntu4.2_i386.deb, but it doesnt exist anymore on the server | 16:19 |
| lap | vox: why it told me to install it then ?? | 16:20 |

| dhcpless | vox, do u have any advice for me? | 16:20 |
| wols | tritium: but the question remains if he can get out of his predicament with what he knows | 16:20 |
| bazhang | tritium not necessarily? | 16:20 |
| Pici | lap: 4.2 has already been superseded, try doing an update again, then an upgrade. | 16:21 |
| lleonard | cannonball: thanks! | 16:21 |
| vox | lap: it's possible the list of packages requiring updating was completed before the package you need was uploaded to that server | 16:21 |
| hkBst | bazhang: I'm having some problems getting feisty to boot... | 16:21 |
| tritium | bazhang: correct. It is your _opinion_ that it's best for him to reinstall. | 16:21 |
| vox | or that | 16:21 |
| lap | Pici: how ? | 16:21 |
| lap | Pici: it's an automatic update | 16:21 |

| lukasz | where should I go to chat about ubuntu off topic | 16:27 |
| derdracle | I think, perhaps, from my kernel logs it may be that it's not recognizing the partitions on my disk. It mounts and identifies my SCSI disks just fine. | 16:27 |

| nikitis | Question. Got a new monitor 1920x1200 resolution and i am having trouble with two things. I have the resolution set correctly, but it's kind of fuzzy. slightly. When in windows it's clear and sharp so I know it's capable of looking sharp, but currently it looks like it would if it was using a smaller resolution than normal. Any ideas? | 16:28 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49701/ | 16:28 |
| bazhang | what card nikitis | 16:28 |
| nikitis | Asus Nvidia 7800 GTX | 16:28 |
| tritium | nikitis: you're positive that X is using the monitor's native resolution? | 16:29 |
| bazhang | nikitis: do you have the restricted drivers installed? | 16:29 |
| derdracle | Ah, weird, it works in safe mode... | 16:29 |
| nikitis | tritium, lol, it was at 1650x1080 | 16:29 |
| tritium | nikitis: ;) | 16:30 |
| nikitis | i set it to 1920x1200 though | 16:30 |
| nikitis | haha | 16:30 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless i can't see dhcp3-server trying to at least run based from the logs | 16:30 |
| slugone | im on a MACBOOK and i cannot get the dvd's to play from my dvd drive | 16:30 |
| bazhang | slugone: running gutsy? | 16:30 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, thats because it doesnt run... | 16:30 |
| slugone | 7.10 | 16:30 |
| odinriko | is there a gnome alarm clock? or is there a prog I gotta install | 16:30 |
| nikitis | Tritium, one more question. When i boot the ubuntu splash screen is now scewed | 16:30 |
| tritium | nikitis: screwed, or skewed? | 16:31 |
| nikitis | skewed | 16:31 |
| nikitis | or both | 16:31 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, its very strange cause my setting is very simple | 16:31 |
| bazhang | slugone: got libdvdcss2 installed? | 16:31 |
| tritium | nikitis: heh, how so? Screenshot you can point me to somewhere? | 16:31 |
| nikitis | Tritium, it's like someone took the screen and twisted it several times like a rag | 16:31 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless no, i mean it should at least say there's config error or something | 16:31 |
| tritium | !dvd | slugone | 16:31 |
| ubotu | slugone: 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 | 16:31 |

| Xenobyte | nikitis, I have to edit my /etc/X11/xorg.conf to give it my monitor's correct hsync and vert refresh | 16:32 |
| tritium | nikitis: wow, I'd like to see that | 16:32 |
| slugone | i think so ill check,,,,,,,,,just sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 ? | 16:32 |
| nikitis | yea it's only on this monitor | 16:32 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless what does it say when you try /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start ? | 16:32 |
| slugone | ty | 16:32 |
| nikitis | once ubuntu starts it's fine | 16:32 |
| pteague_work | why is it that my laptop is defaulting to the wireless connection instead of the wired connection even though the wired connection is eth0 & is faster ? | 16:32 |
| tritium | nikitis: yes, do as Xenobyte suggests, and double-check your rates | 16:32 |
| nikitis | ok | 16:32 |
| maek | anyone using banshee been able to get the metadata searcher to find there album art? | 16:32 |
| nikitis | Xenobyte, did you have that issue with the splash screen? | 16:32 |
| slugone | i know this must be a standard issue cuz it didnt work on my other laptop....non mac ....ty | 16:32 |
| Xenobyte | nikitis, no | 16:32 |
| slugone | great help as always | 16:32 |
| nikitis | Xenobyte, it looks great now in 1920x1200 | 16:33 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, it says "dhcpd self-test failed. Please fix the config file. | 16:33 |
| bazhang | slugone: you can do that if you enable the repos from medibuntu | 16:33 |
| dhcpless | The error was: " | 16:33 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless provide you added INTERFACES=eth0 in /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server | 16:33 |
| Xenobyte | nikitis, i'm jealous ;) | 16:33 |
| nikitis | Let me reboot and see if it starts again | 16:33 |
| nikitis | back in 1650 | 16:33 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, i did | 16:33 |
| slugone | bazhang how can i do that ,,,,,,im new to the linux game | 16:33 |
| bazhang | slugone: or you can just add the one package from the site, and also win32codecs the instructions are on the site www.medibuntu.org | 16:34 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless can try a simpler config file.. wait ill check for something | 16:34 |
| nikitis | tritium, When i Ctrl+Alt+Backspace it restarts in 1650x1080 | 16:34 |
| slugone | ty | 16:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | slugone: You might want to read through restricted formats help... it covers all of thet stuff including MP3's etc | 16:34 |
| tritium | slugone: you're right. It is a standard issue to to patent emcumbrances. | 16:34 |
| tritium | nikitis: what order are the resolutions listed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 16:35 |
| orlick | anyone know how to get system beeps turned on... they have never worked in gnome-terminal for me | 16:35 |
| slugone | hmm that makes sense though i guess.....capitalism......blah | 16:35 |
| albator | huston, we have an install icon | 16:35 |
| nikitis | tritium, let me check | 16:35 |
| bazhang | slugone: one more thing: you should install ubuntu-restricted-extras for some of the non-free things like mp3 playing etc from the repos you enable in synaptic | 16:35 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, wait i got a new error when running as root: | 16:35 |

| slugone | kk | 16:36 |
| dhcpless | i see the error - it should be 162 | 16:36 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless there.. | 16:36 |
| thor | dhcpless: I think that should be 192.168.1.1 | 16:36 |
| thor | not 198 | 16:36 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless thor is right | 16:37 |
| cannonball | 192.168.1.0 | 16:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thor: good catch, you pass the dyslexia test | 16:37 |
| dhcpless | of course... | 16:37 |
| cannonball | It's not complaining abou t the 198. It's complaining about the last number not being on a boundary. | 16:37 |
| nikitis | http://rafb.net/p/80VMYt33.html | 16:37 |
| thor | dhcpless: cannonball is correct...the NET should be 192.168.1.0 | 16:37 |
| nikitis | tritium, | 16:37 |
| thor | Jack_Sparrow: not quite...I missed the NET <smile> | 16:38 |
| tritium | nikitis: yes? | 16:38 |
| sunogbaga | dhcpless so that's why it doesn't appear in the logs | 16:39 |
| nikitis | tritium, ^^ My pastebin http://rafb.net/p/80VMYt33.html | 16:39 |
| tritium | okay, nikitis | 16:39 |
| cannonball | thor: You're only the second person I've ever seen who does <smile> instead of :-) or <grin>, etc. Must mean you're old school. | 16:39 |
| dhcpless | sunogbaga, i'm trying to fix it , in the meanwhile i'm getting "semicolon expected errors"... | 16:39 |
| nikitis | tritium, what is Failsafe? | 16:39 |
| cannonball | dhcpless: yes, each line should end with a semi-colon. | 16:40 |
| tritium | nikitis: you added all those custom modelines? | 16:40 |
| cannonball | dhcpless: How about I post a working dhcp config (with PXE configuration in it) to give you something to work from | 16:40 |
| thor | cannonball: yeah...20 year old habits die hard | 16:40 |
| nikitis | tritium, no, it was done automatically | 16:40 |

| jamescarr | I forgot... what was the command to make eth0 accept any dhcp offers? | 16:41 |
| jamescarr | e something | 16:41 |
| tritium | nikitis: at this point, you should "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg", then | 16:41 |
| tritium | nikitis: choose the proper selections along the way. That'll generate a new xorg.conf for you | 16:42 |

| tritium | Peco1: the installation guide has some info on a usb key install | 16:50 |
| movela | deluge gave me amazing download speeds | 16:50 |
| nikitis | tritium, is there an official name for that orange splash screen that has the indicator during boot? So I can refine my search? | 16:50 |
| JensenDie1 | is there a way to use the system->admin->network settings to specifiy a certain mac address for a specified location? | 16:51 |
| {Nathan} | movela: It's actually pretty easy, you just have to jump in. Once you get good with it though, you'll never want to go back | 16:51 |
| bazhang | Peco1: the definitive guide is at www.pendrivelinux.com | 16:51 |
| Pici | nikitis: That is called the usplash. | 16:51 |
| movela | anyways so whats the deal w/sip/voip services? does anybody use one? | 16:51 |

| tritium | nikitis: usplash | 16:51 |
| tritium | nikitis: the issue is that is skewed, right? Not the resolution? | 16:52 |
| movela | {Nathan}: thats true. the sudo commands amaze window users :( | 16:52 |
| nikitis | tritium, yes | 16:52 |
| nikitis | tritium, correct | 16:52 |
| * tritium interprets skewed as not perfectly rectangular. | 16:52 | |
| nikitis | tritium, resolution is great now | 16:52 |
| tritium | Good, nikitis. | 16:52 |
| nikitis | tritium, i'm working on usplash error now. | 16:52 |
| slugone | okay i installed the medibuntu repositories and the gdg key but i dont quite understand how to add it to my keyring :S | 16:52 |
| nikitis | wols, why not? | 16:52 |
| wols | cazse usplash only understand 640x480 standard vga | 16:53 |
| bazhang | slugone: just cut and paste that to a terminal | 16:53 |
| movela | i don't have a phone/cellphone. thats why i want a service like this | 16:53 |
| slugone | i did but for the keyring manager | 16:53 |
| wael | hi everyone , i have a problem in banshee .can somebody help me ? | 16:53 |
| slugone | do i need to bother? | 16:53 |
| movela | like SIP/VOIP | 16:53 |
| tritium | nikitis: wols is correct. However, it sounds like you have some other problem that distorts the image. | 16:53 |
| nikitis | but the usplash does go higher than that. Otherwise on my 1280x1024 monitor it would have looked like crap and blurred. And it wasn't | 16:53 |

| nikitis | It was very sharp | 16:54 |
| slugone | 10-4 | 16:54 |
| rubax | BUT, I did something and now im getting it through the mic input! | 16:54 |
| nikitis | can the usplash be reinstalled? | 16:54 |
| Peco1 | Hi, im new to ubuntu and linux - just embarking on an install utilising a usb key, can anyone lend any initial tips? | 16:54 |
| rubax | its a toshiba a105 with ati sb450 chip | 16:54 |
| nikitis | tritium, can the usplash be reinstalled? May fix it? | 16:54 |
| movela | nikitis: i think so... sudo apt-get install usplash... i think its in synaptic too | 16:55 |
| slugone | should i also install the libdvdcss2-dev ? | 16:55 |
| bazhang | Peco1: http://www.pendrivelinux.com has it all | 16:55 |
| rubax | I researched and changed the model to 3 stack..didnt worked, then changed the menu.lst and added apic=ht | 16:55 |
| bazhang | slugone: no need | 16:55 |
| slugone | awesome | 16:55 |
| rubax | and had sound on the mic | 16:55 |
| Pici | nikitis: That shouldnt be necessary. You can modify the resolution of the usplash by changing the framebuffer modes. | 16:55 |
| wael | hi everyone , i have a problem in banshee. can someone help me ?? | 16:55 |
| tritium | nikitis: it can be regenerated, yes. I need to run. If you're still having trouble later, I'll try to help. | 16:55 |

| KlrSpz | bhajun: yes, definitely | 16:59 |

| KlrSpz | that's kind of a stupid question | 17:00 |
| movela | browsing? | 17:01 |
| KlrSpz | uh yeah? | 17:01 |
| KlrSpz | no, to take over the world with | 17:01 |
| bruenig | KlrSpz, the flash package is a script only, it is faulty, synaptic maintaining it is precisely the reason why it has problems | 17:01 |
| movela | it should install automatically thru firefox | 17:01 |
| KlrSpz | c'mon, don't ask asinine questions | 17:01 |

| KlrSpz | if you REALLY wanna know how to run a server, i don't suggest ubuntu | 17:18 |
| n3wUs3r | RadiantFire: yes, it's running a lot | 17:18 |
| nickrud | !terminal | Trent0r23 | 17:18 |
| mrdinkles | wols: can you send me the paste bin link | 17:18 |

| AcidicChip | I've tried several things, and I can't seem to figure out how to get wget to download the contents (recursive) of an FTP site. I keep just getting a single file, usualy ".list" or something. Anyone know where I can find some examples? | 17:18 |
| wols | prefec2: is the driver laoded? any dmesg output? /sbin/ifconfig -a showing ath0 ? | 17:18 |
| n3wUs3r | RadiantFire: like 8 times | 17:18 |
| graft | AcidicChip: wget respects robots.txt - if the site doesn't want you to download recursively, wget won't do it | 17:19 |
| Trent0r23 | KleSPz: What would you suggest? | 17:19 |
| prefec2 | wols: the strange thing is, that the network-manager displays the net. But I cannot conntect to it. The driver is loaded | 17:19 |
| n3wUs3r | RadiantFire: i pressed kill in the menu and it seems to have worked | 17:19 |
| mrdinkles | !paste | 17:19 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 17:19 |
| n3wUs3r | RadiantFire: nautilus appeared when i pressed kill... | 17:19 |
| KlrSpz | Trent0r23: well, depends on your dedication.. gentoo/arch linux are both great at getting to understand your userspace, as well as the terminal capabilities | 17:19 |
| RadiantFire | n3wUs3r: the one thing I could say is delete all the nautilus config directories under .gconf, then when nautilus restarts its config will be restored to default | 17:19 |
| KlrSpz | bu if you just wanna know how to use some tools in a terminal, then i suggest just picking a topic and starting there | 17:19 |

| RadiantFire | n3wUs3r: oh goodie :-) Nautilus is somewhat flaky sometimes, jsut needs to be given a kick in the pants | 17:20 |
| n3wUs3r | hehe | 17:20 |
| nickrud | Trent0r23, ubuntu will work just fine for learning, it uses debian server configs which are very common in the real world | 17:20 |

| wols | modu: wget | 17:21 |
| AcidicChip | graft: it's an FTP site. there is no robots.txt | 17:21 |
| KlrSpz | graft: it's hugely different.. first off in ubuntu you don't have to worry about modules so much, and the config files are split insanely different (over-organized in ubuntu imo) | 17:21 |
| jarlod | yeah RadiantFire, I get that way too sometimes | 17:21 |
| zobban | hi all when i want to play a file on vlc it closes down this is the error in terminal i will use pastebin http://www.pastebin.ca/833802 | 17:21 |
| KlrSpz | in gentoo you build your binary to requirement specs, then harden in | 17:21 |

| wols | jarlod: use a mailinglistmanager like mailman.we don't do spamming support | 17:21 |
| modu | wols: doesnt work very good for me when they dont list their directory | 17:21 |
| KlrSpz | you don't get massive security in ubuntu, that's for sure | 17:21 |
| graft | KlrSpz: so the config is different - you're not learning anything fundamental about Apache config by using gentoo | 17:21 |
| bazhang | or join #gentoo | 17:22 |

| prefec2 | wols: do you have any suggestion, how I can increase the verbosity of NetworkManager in syslog? It looks like I have to increase the verbosity of wpasupplicant, but I do not know how. | 17:22 |
| KlrSpz | not just a config file, but how to compile it properly and getting all the modules you need as a fastcgi, cli, or built in makes a huge diff, all of the above you don't normally encounter in ubuntu is all i'm saying | 17:22 |

| maek | anyone using banshee able to get the album art to auto download? | 17:56 |
| rsk | oldboy: i think gnome may have something for that | 17:56 |

| sybariten | graft: ok | 17:57 |
| oldboy | rsk: where to look for? | 17:57 |
| graft | WorkingOnWis1: the latter is probably difficult to achieve (maybe thre's a firefox plugin to do this, but i don't know of one) - you would just build a local mirror with, say, wget, and access it by hand when the web version is down | 17:57 |

| sjnims | wols: by checking in my bios...it has a readout of the sensors in there | 18:44 |
| mouse | romistrub, why you don't use internal firefox plugin installer? | 18:44 |
| romistrub | mouse: it wasn't working last time I tried | 18:44 |
| Pici | Sturm: There is an option on the select search engine dropdown where you can pick more options, its pretty straightforward once you get there. | 18:44 |
| wols | sjnims: that doesn't mean in only supports 3 voltages. it only means your BIOS only displays 3 voltages. it can very well check more than 3 | 18:44 |
| mouse | romistrub, did you trying to install from package or from firefox? | 18:44 |
| romistrub | mouse: from firefox | 18:44 |

| sjnims | wols: i guess what i want is a more meaningful output, the winbond chip diagram isn't very helpful for which voltage is which (+12V vs -12V) | 18:45 |
| mouse | makaraki, I suggest to use fglrx | 18:45 |
| wols | mouse: fglrx then | 18:45 |
| leroy | These are my x logs, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49716/ and the .old is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49717/ | 18:46 |

| lukasz | The time is till 24 hr | 18:52 |
| wols | leroy: well you need to run the nvidia drivers to see what is happening in xorg.log. and I doubt it rewrites your xorg.conf without your knowledge | 18:52 |
| lukasz | In login windpw | 18:52 |
| wols | unless you run it in failsafe mode | 18:52 |

| wols | install XP then | 19:03 |

I can't even get into the folder to uninstall it. I don't know how to fix it. | 19:04 |

| KlrSpz | leroy: i've had where lcd's won't power up the edid if it's been on a long time.. try unplugging the unit and replug it in, power on/off doesn't do the trick as it's not actually "off" | 19:07 |
| mouse | leroy, where you connect your Sony? | 19:07 |
| effie_jayx | the PIII still suffers from jerky usb mouse | 19:07 |

| shane2peru | I'm installing mythtv right now, but not sure if that is all I need to do. | 19:07 |
| mouse | leroy, pastebin xorg.conf please | 19:07 |
| Retro` | hello... i have Ubuntu 7.10... i have had EasyTAG installed for some time but then i removed it... now i reinstalled it but the program is not present anywhere as if not installed... i have also installed the latest debian package for EasyTAG but it says "Error: Dependency not satisfied: libc6"... please help | 19:07 |
| KlrSpz | oh, vga won't detect EDID's properly anyway | 19:07 |
| leroy | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49719/ | 19:08 |
| kuber | question: I really love how debian allows me to download 10+ cds of packages, as i'm sometimes in places that have no net connection. I can only find the single ubuntu cd/dvd. Is there a more extensive cd distribution anywhere? | 19:09 |
| flyinghippo | Retro`: Did you install it with Synaptic/APT-Get? | 19:09 |
| shane2peru | any TV Card People out there??? I have a K-World TV card | 19:09 |
| Retro` | flyinghippo, both ways | 19:09 |
| mouse | leroy, what is the second one CRT-out? | 19:09 |
| flyinghippo | Did you try doing 'apt-get install libc6'? | 19:09 |
| leroy | wols: i was thinking something similar about it's using the second output, but why would it just do it with the "nvidia" driver | 19:09 |
| anto | Heya, i got a problem with my sound ever since i upgraded motherboard the music output has become alot weaker.... can anyone explain how i can make it stronger? | 19:10 |
| Retro` | flyinghippo, yes... it said only i have the latest libc6 installed and that was all it said | 19:10 |
| Pici | kuber: Theres the Desktop CD, the Desktop DVD (more packages), The Alternate CD (textmode install) and the minimal cd(bitesize) | 19:10 |
| mouse | leroy, nvidia detect it as the second CRT. | 19:10 |
| leroy | mouse: i'll have to look | 19:10 |
| sjnims | anyone know the correct settings for sensors.conf to be used with lm-sensors on a winbond w83627ehf chip? | 19:10 |
| Greevous | mouse: gpart's man pages don't say that it supports restoring ext3; will there be a problem if my primary partition was ext3? | 19:10 |
| squidly | hello I'm trying to setup a network alias that will route only to a spefic subnet.. how can I do that? | 19:10 |
| Retro` | flyinghippo, what could be the problem? | 19:10 |
| KlrSpz | ext3 = ext2 + journaling | 19:10 |
| flyinghippo | I have no idea. I haven't touched linux in a while. | 19:10 |
| flyinghippo | Sorry, but I'm not much help here. | 19:11 |
| wols | leroy: cause the nvidia driver decides to to it and nv decides it differently. I'd look for a dual monitor nvidia howto and check if there is a nvidia option to make it use the right output for you | 19:11 |
| leroy | mouse: the second output is DVI | 19:11 |
| kuber | so, not really much for someone with only a cd drive and no net connection. that's a shame; I have friend in west africa who uses debian instead of ubuntu simply because he can access all the packages, he has a big stack of cds :) | 19:11 |
| kuber | which is what i also did when i lived there. | 19:11 |
| mouse | Greevous, I suppose, no... it should detect ext2 | 19:12 |
| Condoulo | would any of you suggest GeUbuntu> | 19:12 |

| KlrSpz | ie,HPFS/NTFS partition, linux partition, and linux swap partition is what it should tell you | 19:19 |

| mouse | maier, yes | 19:20 |

| mouse | bye all! | 19:27 |
| arte_ | i got ubuntu before but i forgot all the things i used | 19:28 |
| dury | It's curious... because I have installed Ubuntu 7.10 in this second IDE HD, and can't boot it. the other disk (sata) it's installed mandriva. Lilo comes out | 19:28 |
| Archie1 | when i put in a cdrom into my drive nothing happens and it doesnt apear in dmesg, do i need to install a cdrom driver of some sort? | 19:28 |
| hendrixski | I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a friends' Compaq laptop, and it gparted just refuses to partition the drive. Any ideas how to work around this? | 19:28 |
| wols | WorkingOnWis1: that is this: /usr/local/apps/parental-control/./dansguardian_log.pl | 19:28 |
| bruenig | WorkingOnWis1, sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/dansguardian | 19:28 |
| wols | ubuntu packages don't install themselves to /usr/local | 19:28 |
| hendrixski | Archie1, are you trying to install Ubuntu through the CDROM? | 19:28 |
| Archie1 | hendrixski: no i am inserting a regular disk | 19:29 |
| Archie1 | in ubuntu | 19:29 |
| bruenig | WorkingOnWis1, known bug that ubuntu continues to ignore | 19:29 |
| osxdude | Bye!!! I'll see y'alls while i'm in florida! | 19:29 |
| dury | and there is not choice for Ubuntu | 19:29 |
| wols | bruenig: is this package really a ubuntu package? | 19:29 |
| WorkingOnWis1 | bruenig: what is the bug? | 19:29 |
| === craig_ is now known as squidly | ||
| hendrixski | oh... hhmm. Dunno then. I was gonna yell at you for not properly burning an ISO :-p Umm. if it worked during install, then you already have the drivers... make sure it didn't come lose or anything. :-) | 19:29 |
| bruenig | WorkingOnWis1, init script pre-removal scripts constantly fail | 19:30 |
| === nick__ is now known as nrober | ||
| MIMI6 | m iwi | 19:30 |
| bruenig | wols, it may not be, but the bug is prevalent in a lot of daemon packages | 19:30 |
| MIMI6 | nshvdcds | 19:30 |
| Pici | MIMI6: ? | 19:30 |
| dury | GRUB doesn't appear when the machine boots | 19:30 |
| MIMI6 | kekeke | 19:30 |
| dury | only LILO | 19:31 |
| hendrixski | sssoooo... anybody know why gparted wouldn't work on a hard-drive? and what I can do to coerce it? The rest of the LiveCD works just fine :-/ | 19:31 |
| MIMI6 | kekekekeke | 19:31 |
| Archie1 | when i put in a cdrom into my drive nothing happens and it doesnt apear in dmesg, do i need to install a cdrom driver of some sort? | 19:31 |
| Pici | MIMI6: stop. | 19:31 |
| WorkingOnWis1 | bruenig: so it has little to do with the packages as much as the daemon script then? | 19:31 |
| KlrSpz | hendrixski: use cfdisk | 19:31 |
| KlrSpz | delete the partitions, write the table, and then re-do it (either with cfdisk or gparted) | 19:31 |
| bruenig | WorkingOnWis1, no it has to do with the package, because the package tries to stop the daemon before it removes it, but when that fails (because say the daemon isn't started to begin with) the whole package can't be removed and you have no idea why | 19:31 |
| WorkingOnWis1 | bruenig: reran install and it completed succesfuly | 19:31 |
| shane2peru | anyone know how to setup a TVCard? | 19:31 |
| MIMI6 | ja sluzaz seka | 19:31 |
| hendrixski | KlrSpz, cool. I'll apt-get install cfdisk onto the liveCD and try that instead of gparted | 19:32 |
| slugone | how can i set my macbook min fanspeed | 19:32 |
| KlrSpz | hmm should already be on there, but yeah | 19:32 |

| Zibbidy | what was root password on ubuntu 7.10 live? | 19:33 |

| Zibbidy | KlrSpz: im now on ubuntu 7.10 live | 19:34 |
| Pici | !sudo | Zibbidy | 19:34 |
| ubotu | Zibbidy: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 19:34 |
| nickrud | rodolfo, yup, still alive. Didn't get back for while that day, did ping you though | 19:34 |
| hendrixski | and it doesn't tab-complete when I type cfdi [tab] | 19:34 |
| bruenig | Zibbidy, the root password is locked, sudo is made to work with no password though | 19:34 |
| bruenig | on the live cd | 19:34 |
| rodolfo | nickrud: no problem, did you get my feedback? | 19:34 |
| ompaul | nickrud, we got us a new factoid | 19:34 |

| ubotu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 19:34 |
| nickrud | rodolfo, no, I didn't see anything from you after we stopped to eat | 19:34 |
| hendrixski | ah, wait found it | 19:34 |

| evan_ | glest* | 19:35 |
| rodolfo | nickrud: 2 steps while you were out: sudo apt-get remove --purge compizconfig-settings-manager and the second one: i installed the deb version (got from that ubuntu.archive you told me) and it worked =) | 19:36 |
| ompaul | bruenig, broken desktops we had one last evening | 19:36 |
| bruenig | but what is the causal link exactly | 19:36 |

| nbeck | Any help with Kiba Dock install? It's asking for the Ubuntu install disk and I was wondering if there's a way around that. | 19:45 |

| soroush | i can't . ah | 19:46 |

| nickrud | rodolfo, and that's a very good way to fix things, get a deb and directly install it. Did it fix the 'can't find file' error as well? | 19:47 |

| Zibbidy | they need command... | 19:47 |
| nightstalker | thank you | 19:47 |
| ikonia | genii: can you please stop with the "/me" commands please. They are not helpful in a busy channel and you constantly do them. | 19:47 |
| Zibbidy | usage: sudo -K | -L | -V | -h | -k | -l | -v | 19:47 |
| KlrSpz | sudo command | 19:47 |
| hendrixski | sweet. the disk partitioned and the install is running smoothly | 19:47 |
| genii | ikonia: OK | 19:47 |
| hendrixski | another Ubuntu success story :-) | 19:48 |
| hendrixski | thanks | 19:48 |
| Zibbidy | ok ... | 19:48 |
| KlrSpz | Zibbidy: so to use vim as root (to open a root accessible file) sudo vim /path/to/file | 19:48 |
| rodolfo | nickrud: no, the message still pops up... =/ | 19:48 |
| KlrSpz | or you can do sudo su to BE root, but that's never advised | 19:48 |

| genii | prabhjot: Vista makes iso13346 dvds when you make backups from it. There is a kernel patch on sourceforge but linux cannot natively use them | 19:49 |
| KlrSpz | yeah ubuntu users aren't too keen on the whole "being root" thing | 19:49 |
| Zibbidy | KlrSpz: /dev/sda3 is my ext3 partition | 19:49 |

| butcherbird | brobostigon: install gparted | 19:51 |
| KlrSpz | brobostigon: gparted will resize it for you (but beware it's a slow process) | 19:51 |
| rodolfo | nickrud: deal? | 19:51 |
| Zibbidy | for installing ubuntu on dev/sda3 | 19:51 |
| KlrSpz | and do a defrag first in windows | 19:51 |
| butcherbird | brobostigon: only thing is make sure you umount the partition first | 19:51 |
| Pici | brobostigon: You can indeed. I suggest defragging windows (ntfs/fatXX) before you do though. | 19:51 |
| KlrSpz | Zibbidy: use the install script, and tell the partitioner to use the root/swap you set up | 19:51 |
| KlrSpz | bbl, work | 19:51 |
| brobostigon | thanks | 19:51 |
| maier | how can i remove how can i remove the broken module | 19:51 |

| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 19:59 |

| zcat[1] | bardyr: bad idea.. yuk. If it doesn't work, all future xorg updates will end up with X not working and it's really painful tryint to remove the binary mess and go back to packages | 20:14 |
| woodsm | hello I have a ubuntu gutsy server with apache2.2 and mod_python. when attempting to stop apache2, all apache process do not seem to die and the apache error log contains -- http://pastebin.com/m2ca72e48 | 20:14 |
| jevangelo | im having problems with vnc | 20:14 |
| woodsm | sorry not sure if it went across the first time | 20:14 |
| Tilllinux | !envy | leroy | 20:14 |
| jevangelo | i can connect, but i get the grey mesh with black X | 20:14 |
| ubotu | leroy: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 20:14 |
| thresher | looks liek virtual box should do me good | 20:14 |
| bardyr | zcat[1], not if he used the latest envy with dkms support | 20:14 |
| shay5482 | genii: i got today this computer with noting on it .. (this is what i am trying to do, to install ubuntu on the new computer) but after i try to use the live cd and choose install ubuntu its drop me to the busybox | 20:14 |
| Tilllinux | ah, I thought it still was this "envy will make you envious ...." trigger ;D | 20:15 |
| thresher | Does anyone know if I can virtualize my existing primary hard disk with vista or do i need a reinstall? | 20:15 |
| leroy | Tilllinux, , I've tried the restricted drivers manager as well that is why I tried envy | 20:15 |
| Condoulo | I just installed xChat, and it is not allowing me to resize the server and channel list | 20:15 |
| leroy | I really don't want to go back to MCE for my HTPC | 20:15 |
| glueitall | hello, im about to install ubuntu aight. but the "New partition size" _really_ confuses me. Which side, left or right of the slider will be the Ubuntu partition? | 20:15 |
| zcat[1] | bardyr: any reason not to just use nvidia-glx-new? It's the same driver, but packaged so it doesn't get broken every time other packages are updated | 20:15 |
| genii | prabhjot: Perhaps make an iso onto the computer of one of the dvds (by something like sudo dd if=/dev/dvd of=/somefile.iso) or /dev/sdX where X is the dvd drive letter etc...then you can experiment with loop mounting it with different options to see if any work | 20:16 |
| bardyr | thresher, there is tool to make a vmware image of a harddrive but i cant remember the name | 20:16 |
| Condoulo | is there any reason why? last time I installed xCHat I had no problem resizing the channel and server list | 20:16 |
| Tilllinux | envy *workedforme*, even throughout upgrading from 7.04 studio to 7.1 gutsy and from there to 7.1 studio... but I switched to the restricted manager again | 20:16 |
| thresher | i see | 20:16 |
| bardyr | zcat[1], its not the same, its very old | 20:16 |
| thresher | thanks for the help see you guys in a few hours | 20:16 |
| thresher | and gals | 20:16 |
| zcat[1] | -new isn't very old, is it? | 20:16 |
| genii | shay5482: Please, pay attention to instructions, or it becomes difficult to assist | 20:16 |
| bardyr | zcat[1], -new means the new cards and a new driver version | 20:16 |
| shay5482 | genii: ok | 20:16 |
| genii | shay5482: You cannot get to the point of installing then | 20:17 |
| leroy | I don't think that its a problem with the driver exactly, it seems to not be properly outputting to my display | 20:17 |
| evan_ | does anyone wanna help me plaing glest3 online? | 20:17 |
| MrJeep_ | hi | 20:17 |
| bardyr | zcat[1], new cards not new driver version* | 20:17 |
| leroy | when x starts it plays the ubuntu sound | 20:17 |
| leroy | but there is just a "no signal" message on my monitor | 20:17 |
| leroy | the "nv" driver works no problem | 20:17 |
| jevangelo | can anyone help me? | 20:17 |
| bardyr | leroy, can you see anything on the pc screen? | 20:18 |
| MrJeep_ | I just installed gutsy on my desktop and I don't have the option to boot in windows in grub. I added it manually but when I choose "Windows" from the grub, it hangs at "Starting Up". The only way I can boot to windows is b y changing the drive priority in my bios. Anyone can help ? | 20:18 |
| n2diy_ | ! ask | jevangelo | 20:18 |
| ubotu | jevangelo: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 20:18 |
| genii | shay5482: Or, it finishes installing, but then on first boot it goes to the busybox? This is the situation I am supposing it to be, and there is a way to repair this | 20:18 |
| jevangelo | i did ask | 20:18 |
| VertexOfLIfe | A quick question about the installer. If the installer repeatedly gives me /usr/bin/dpkg error code (1) should I be worried? | 20:18 |
| leroy | bardyr, the screen displays "no signal" and then blanks out after a few seconds. | 20:18 |
| prabhjot | genii: it copied only 2 kb. whereas the dvd is 4 GB | 20:18 |
| Tilllinux | leroy: try reconfiguring the xserver ;) | 20:18 |
| zcat[1] | !res | 20:19 |
| ubotu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 20:19 |
| Tilllinux | prabhjot: try mkisofs | 20:19 |
| prabhjot | ok. | 20:19 |
| glueitall | hello, im about to install ubuntu. but the "New partition size" _really_ confuses me. Which side, left or right of the slider will be the Ubuntu partition? | 20:19 |
| shay5482 | genii: i cant get to the point of the installation . its droping me to the busybox | 20:19 |
| zcat[1] | glueitall: you know, I never can remember that myself... :) | 20:19 |
| genii | prabhjot: Hmm. I have no other immediate suggestions then :( | 20:19 |
| leroy | Tilllinux, I can't reconfigure the xserver, I can't even get to a terminal when the display goes out | 20:19 |
| Tilllinux | yes, it's so confusing that I always manually do the partitioning :D | 20:19 |
| Tilllinux | ah, I fogot :D | 20:20 |
| Tilllinux | +r | 20:20 |
| b4n23 | how can i disable the screensaver through console? | 20:20 |
| sulle | how do i rar down a file ?. | 20:20 |
| Pici | !rar | sulle | 20:20 |
| ubotu | sulle: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 20:20 |
| zcat[1] | Put it about half and half.. then it doesn't matter, both OS's will get about half. | 20:20 |
| Tilllinux | sulle: why would you want to do that? | 20:20 |
| prabhjot | genii: ok, thanks for trying to help | 20:20 |
| sulle | So i can rar down a file and send it to a windows user. | 20:20 |
| genii | shay5482: OK. Then it won't even get to install then , so far. Have you tried to make the alternate cdrom and use that? Or just the regular one so far? | 20:20 |
| bardyr | leroy, well i would try the latest driver released 7 days ago, and then play around with nvidia-settings to get the TV to work | 20:20 |
| MrJeep_ | anyone know why it hangs after "Starting Up" ? :S | 20:20 |
| maier | hi | 20:21 |
| maier | kann mir jemand mal helfen | 20:21 |
| shay5482 | just the regular so far | 20:21 |
| Tilllinux | sulle: zip it... or if the other windows user has got winrar/7zip, you can 7z or bz it | 20:21 |
| sulle | !zip | 20:21 |
| ubotu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 20:21 |
| glueitall | zcat[1]: unfortunately i cant take that much for ubuntu | 20:21 |
| tumbleweed__ | tar.bz == teh win | 20:21 |
| Tilllinux | MrJeep_: windows and ubuntu are on different HD, correct? I've got the same (not really a) problem ;) | 20:21 |
| tumbleweed__ | bz2, even | 20:21 |
| zcat[1] | rar should die.. way too many different compression formats anyhow | 20:22 |
| MrJeep_ | Tilllinux, Exacly | 20:22 |
| MrJeep_ | :D | 20:22 |
| tumbleweed__ | yeah | 20:22 |
| tumbleweed__ | rar and zip mostly suck anyways | 20:22 |
| Tilllinux | maier: geh nach #ubuntuDE | 20:22 |
| leroy | bardyr, I will try that, when I try nvidia-settings though without the nvidia driver running it just lets me change BS options like tooltips and stuff | 20:22 |
| maier | jo | 20:22 |
| leroy | bardyr, it doesn't display the options that I think should be there | 20:22 |
| glueitall | hello, im about to install ubuntu. but the "New partition size" _really_ confuses me. Which side, left or right of the slider, will be the Ubuntu partition? | 20:22 |
| prabhjot | Tilllinux: could you please guide me, i hav the manual for mkisofs open now, i can't figure out which option to use | 20:22 |
| genii | work, AFK | 20:22 |
| zcat[1] | zip is annoying.. if you zip stuff on Linux (eg the latest UrbanTerror 4.1) all of the executables lose their +x :( | 20:23 |
| bardyr | leroy, you need to have the nvidia enabled to use nvidia-settings | 20:23 |
| Tilllinux | prabhjot: I don't know what you're doing, I just read that dd didnt work | 20:23 |
| lookingglassaz | Hi all...novice ubuntu user here. :) | 20:23 |
| leroy | bardyr, yes but the nvidia driver doesn't work. | 20:23 |

| jamescarr | never | 20:25 |
| sulle | So what do i write to zip down a file ?. | 20:25 |
| genii | shay5482: Do you have a fast enough internet connection to download the alternate install cd image? | 20:26 |
| bardyr | leroy, you probably need that to configure your tv output right | 20:26 |
| ph|ber | anyone got evolution connecting to exchange 2007? | 20:26 |
| shay5482 | genii: what is the size of the cd image ? | 20:26 |

| Myrtti | ph|ber: best of luck with that | 20:26 |
| Tilllinux | okay, how do I find out on which hdd windows is located? | 20:27 |
| genii | shay5482: About 700 Mb | 20:27 |
| leroy | bardyr, and I have it working with the "nv" driver | 20:27 |
| ph|ber | Myrtti: yeah so i have seen in google.. not much luck anywhere.. although i did see where the next release of gnome was going to support it. | 20:27 |
| leroy | bardyr, is there something specific that I need to configure for the nvidia driver? | 20:27 |
| shay5482 | genii: ok , (its will take me 30-40 min) its that ok by you ? | 20:27 |
| Tilllinux | prabhjot: or try AcetoneISO | 20:27 |

| dom | how can i move a window from one desktop to another? [metacity, no xinerama] | 20:35 |
| shay5482 | where i can find website to download the alternative cd ? | 20:35 |
| zcat[1] | romistrub: well, if the BIOS says to boot from CDROM first, it will try to boot from CDROM before it even looks at the drive Linux is on.. so it's not 'linux' that is causing it not to boot from cdrom. | 20:35 |
| leroy | earthling, that won't work for me | 20:36 |
| zcat[1] | unless linux has gained magical powers I was not previously aware of.. | 20:36 |
| jamescarr | i am not lewd | 20:36 |
| Greevous | dom: you should be able to right-click the window titlebar (at the top) and move it to another workspace | 20:36 |
| leroy | i read something like ctrl+alt+sysreq+k or something | 20:36 |
| dom | Greevous: not another workspace, another (physical) monitor | 20:36 |

| leroy | bardyr, after I have installed the newest driver what do I put in my xorg.conf to activate it? | 20:37 |

| uzerzero | graft: right, i can't access any webpages while i'm downloading torrents via ktorrent | 20:46 |
| fivetwentysix | uzerzero it could be that you have too many connections going through that your router isn't accepting any new connections | 20:46 |
| ^^barbi^^ | r6d | 20:46 |

| Liquideath | so it's called Compiz-Fusion now? | 20:46 |
| ikonia | brobostigon: correct | 20:46 |

| User667559 | But it is detecting is as an ECS board and it is not. | 20:47 |
| fivetwentysix | uzerzero regardless, try halving the amount of connections being used by ktorrent. That should do the trick. | 20:47 |
| uzerzero | fivetwentysix: that was my conclusion as well, but i don't know how to go about changing the amount of connections | 20:47 |
| * Flare183 says nevermind | 20:47 | |

| User667559 | WHen I do a modprobe it says ecs sound card. | 20:48 |

| shane2peru | how do I find out if this card is loading in the kernel? | 20:49 |
| ^^barbi^^ | llvfczsa | 20:49 |
| ^^barbi^^ | aj | 20:49 |
| shane2peru | or is this loaded in the kernel? | 20:49 |
| AJC_Z0 | I feel a ban coming on | 20:49 |
| uzerzero | graft: 6mbps down, maybe 768kbps up | 20:49 |
| shane2peru | or by the kernel? | 20:49 |
| uzerzero | fivetwentysix: i'll give that a shot later, thanks | 20:49 |
| graft | uzerzero: is your upload bandwidth capped? | 20:49 |
| graft | uzerzero: via ktorrent | 20:49 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: dmesg in cli might help?? | 20:49 |
| Flare183 | AJC_Z0: yeap | 20:49 |
| kofano | ragazzi c'ho un problemone grosso chi mi aiuta? | 20:50 |
| uzerzero | graft: yes, i typically have it capped between 20 and 30 kbps via bandwith scheduler | 20:50 |
| Myrtti | !it | kofano | 20:50 |
| fivetwentysix | graft: That wouldn't cause him to not be able to see any websites. | 20:50 |
| User667559 | If Ubuntu detects my sound card as something it is not. Can I change it? | 20:50 |
| ubotu | kofano: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 20:50 |
| graft | fivetwentysix: yes it would, it's a common issue | 20:50 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, ok, dmesg | grep that item? | 20:50 |
| graft | fivetwentysix: if you can't send ACKs, you can't do a lot of TCP stuff | 20:50 |
| uzerzero | fivetwentysix: it wouldn't cause a problem per se, but it does slow down browsing quite a bit | 20:50 |
| dury | hi there all :) | 20:50 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, I have forgoten some of these sommands | 20:50 |
| shane2peru | commands | 20:50 |
| Joelito | Hi all: what package should I download from "Synaptic", to compile code using "#include <gtk/gtk.h>" | 20:50 |
| fivetwentysix | graft: No, it would just slow down browsing significantly | 20:50 |
| ikonia | Joelito: gtk-dev | 20:50 |
| dury | ikonia: success booting ubuntu | 20:50 |
| dolphin_noel | Hello :) | 20:51 |
| graft | fivetwentysix: might be indistinguishable from stopping browsing | 20:51 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: just dmesg in cli, then manualelly look through | 20:51 |
| ikonia | dury: well done, | 20:51 |
| fivetwentysix | graft: Anyways limiting upload speed to maybe half your cap should always be done :-) | 20:51 |
| dom | is it possible to use twinview across two video cards? (as opposed to a single dual-head card) | 20:51 |
| crdlb | dom: only if they're connected with SLI | 20:51 |
| ikonia | dom: sure. Although you may find that easier to use xinerama | 20:51 |
| uzerzero | fivetwentysix: i always limit my upload speed, so as not to create hell for other users on the network | 20:51 |
| graft | fivetwentysix: agreed... until the gatekeepers deign to give us some freedom | 20:52 |
| dom | ikonia: xinerama kills my acceleration | 20:52 |
| dury | ikonia: you were right. I did what you said and now I can boot UBUNTU or Mandriva | 20:52 |
| graft | uzerzero: can you telnet to port 80 anywhere while this thing is going on? | 20:52 |
| graft | uzerzero: or can you, say, use IRC? | 20:52 |
| User667559 | sound issue anyone? | 20:52 |
| ikonia | dury: thats excellent | 20:52 |
| shane2peru | how do you use that grep part again with dmesg? | 20:52 |
| Joelito | ikonia: Is not there :( | 20:52 |
| pppoe_dude | how can i encode mp3 with ffmpeg on ubuntu? | 20:52 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, there are a few things listed in there about it. | 20:52 |
| uzerzero | graft: i know for a fact that i can use ftp, i've transferred stuff to my xbox while downloading via ktorrent | 20:52 |
| fivetwentysix | Bah I think I have more issues using 32-bit Fedora 8 then I had with using 64-bit Ubuntu. | 20:53 |
| fivetwentysix | Can't wait till I finish the Ubuntu 7.10 download... 20 minutes left :-) | 20:53 |
| pppoe_dude | it seems like ffmpeg wants a parameter to be passed on configuration, but i guess the default is without it | 20:53 |
| dury | even the desktop it's in 3D cube | 20:53 |
| Loaxes | Is there any way that I can switch between an ubuntu partition and a windows partition quickly? (i.e., without rebooting) | 20:53 |
| uzerzero | graft: any idea why any heavy network use would completely lock my computer up via wireless? i've researched it and it is a reported problem with previous versions of ndiswrapper <1.41, but i've updated to v.1.5 with no success | 20:53 |
| graft | uzerzero: so just http? bizarre. | 20:53 |
| Stormx2 | There's some special syntax you can use for email addresses for specific sub-boxes. E.g. I might be john.doe@gmail.com, and I could register for ubuntuforums.org with john.doe+ubuntuforums@gmail.com But I can't remember the syntax. is it a +? or something else? | 20:53 |
| ikonia | Joelito: gtk-dev is not the exact name of the package, have a search | 20:54 |
| n2diy_ | if lspci lists a device, doen't that mean the kernel module is loaded, and running? | 20:54 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: i dont know abou this device, but its your judgement as to what it says means, maybe you could pastebin it, and we all can look and help?? | 20:54 |
| ikonia | n2diy_: lspci is nothing to do with the kernel | 20:54 |
| graft | uzerzero: never used ndiswrapper drivers... does your machine lock, or the whole LAN? | 20:54 |
| Joelito | ikonia: I found libgtk2.0-dev, but seens that geany doesn't like it :( | 20:54 |
| ikonia | Joelito: geany ? | 20:55 |
| earthling | Loaxes: what do you mean by switching? being able to access files? | 20:55 |
| n2diy_ | ikonia: ok | 20:55 |
| Huffameg | hello! I have a problem. I have just upgraded my ubuntu-system but I have lost the icons in OpenOffice.. can anyone please help me restore them?? | 20:55 |

| Joelito | ikonia: As editor and compiler | 20:55 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, ok, how do I use this grep thing again? that will narrow it down. | 20:55 |
| ikonia | Joelito: what doesn't it like, | 20:55 |
| uzerzero | graft: i've tried to use the bcm43xx firmware drivers, but they don't work with my chipset | 20:55 |
| Joelito | ikonia: Errors! | 20:56 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: no idea how to use grep | 20:56 |
| ikonia | Joelito: well, that doesn't mean anything, thats more likely the software your trying to build. | 20:56 |
| Flare183 | brobostigon: fire up the termnial and type in man grep | 20:56 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, ok, maybe I'm confusing that with another command | 20:56 |
| Loaxes | earthling: Not really. I'd like to be able to be in linux and be able to do a quick switch to windows to play games. Although, it would be usefull to use files on my ubuntu hard drive on my windows one, that way I can play music without keeping it in two places. | 20:56 |
| User667559 | ANyone like to help me with this sound issue? | 20:56 |

| Joelito | ikonia: Well...seems that gcc can't find gtk\gtk.h | 20:57 |

| AJC_Z0 | ikonia: I wouldn't disagree, but since it isn't freely available and doesn't run natively on Ubuntu, I was hoping for something which did | 21:04 |
| shane2peru | how do I know where a device is loading at? like /dev/radio /dev/fmtuner etc? or if it is loading? | 21:04 |
| ikonia | WooooD: speak to your ISP, ask about mail forwarding. | 21:04 |
| ikonia | AJC_Z0: visio is one of the areas that is lacking. | 21:05 |
| WooooD | ikonia: ok | 21:05 |
| AJC_Z0 | ikonia: Ok. Thanks for the advice | 21:05 |
| Rico | uzerzero...i am got an error saying it could load plugin 'fusion' | 21:05 |
| WooooD | ikonia: where I can register my email name@lastname.com ? | 21:05 |

| Guest16155 | does 32 bit desktop version can work with more than 4 gb of ram ? | 21:05 |
| WooooD | ikonia: ok thanks | 21:06 |
| ikonia | Guest16155: yes, | 21:06 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: saa7134 is alsa, i e sound, only other thing mentioned is an usb webcam. | 21:06 |
| uzerzero | Rico: sorry, try just compiz --replace ccp & | 21:06 |
| LetterRip_ | how might i go about reducing processor usage/turning off/down fan speed? | 21:06 |
| Raxion | anyone here who's experienced with VirtualBox? i need some help with it. | 21:06 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, so we can assume it isn't being loaded? | 21:06 |
| shane2peru | however it is detected with lspci | 21:06 |
| Guest16155 | ikonia: my ubuntu recoganzied just 4 gb ram of 16 gb ? | 21:06 |
| ikonia | Guest16155: ahh you want to utilise the ram. Then I suggest using the 64bit version as it is much easier | 21:07 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: try and access yout tv card unde3r /dev/video0 | 21:07 |
| LetterRip_ | Guest16155, you using 64bit or 32 bit procesor? | 21:07 |
| WooooD | GUEST16155; did you install Ubuntu 32 bit or 64 bit ? | 21:07 |
| Flare183 | Raxion: I can try to help | 21:07 |
| LetterRip_ | er ubuntu 64 or 32 bit | 21:07 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, however look here in the lspci command gives me this: 04:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7134/SAA7135HL Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) | 21:07 |
| ikonia | Guest16155: there are techniques to use a 32bit OS with +4GB ram, but it is much more straight forward to use the 64bit version. | 21:07 |
| WooooD | guest16155: You need to be 64bit to enable more than 4gb | 21:07 |
| cookie | THANK YOU | 21:08 |
| AlcO | r | 21:08 |
| Guest16155 | ikonia: i installed 32 bit version , becouse when i try to install 64 bit version i get error msg that my system is not 64 bit | 21:08 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: that maybe it, try it. | 21:08 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, which is the saa7134 thing, it also has a radio tuner on the card, so audio would make sense if you see that | 21:08 |
| uzerzero | Rico: hope that helps, i have to run. | 21:08 |
| ikonia | Guest16155: what is your CPU ? | 21:08 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: try you tv on /dev/video0 | 21:08 |
| zack_ | does anyone know if there is a way to get ATI videocard drivers to work with ubuntu | 21:08 |

| supersci | hello, i connect my iPod Touch to the pc via usb and ubuntu does not recognize it. could anyone help me? | 21:09 |
| hardeep | hello all | 21:09 |
| hardeep | quick question | 21:09 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, well, my other problem is I have no idea what to use for the TV tuner program | 21:09 |
| maek | anyway around the md5sum error when installing flashplugin-nonfree? | 21:09 |
| shane2peru | :) | 21:09 |
| tim____ | zack_: yes they work | 21:09 |
| akincer | Guest16: The 2.6.x kernel is capable of handling up to 64GB of RAM IIRC. Your motherboard, however, may not enjoy the same ability | 21:09 |
| ikonia | !flashissues | maek | 21:09 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, I found a decent radio thing | 21:09 |
| ubotu | maek: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 21:09 |
| hardeep | is there a setting in ubuntu that resets files after a restart? | 21:09 |
| maek | ikonia: thanks. | 21:09 |
| zack_ | ti, how do i know if i my video card is setup properly | 21:09 |
| yubwyub | hardeep, what files? | 21:09 |
| graft | hardeep: resets files? which files? | 21:09 |
| zvezdichko | why don't you finally fix this silly bug md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz? | 21:09 |
| scguy318 | hardeep: resets? | 21:09 |
| zvezdichko | it's annoying, and it stays the same for a long time | 21:10 |
| krim | zack_: What makes you think it isn't? | 21:10 |
| scguy318 | zvezdichko: to fix it would be breaking Konqueror and other users | 21:10 |
| hardeep | well, I will edit motd | 21:10 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: have a look on packages.ubuntu.com , there are all the programms to install on ubuntu, search there. | 21:10 |
| zack_ | ti, i am having trouble running the screensavers they just freeze | 21:10 |
| WooooD | what is the best Apps to virtualize Windows Vista into Ubuntu ? VM WARE or Parallels Desktop or another one ?? | 21:10 |
| hardeep | log out log in with a user and it is fine, but after a restart, it will revert back to the old version | 21:10 |
| erUSUL | !virtualizers | WooooD | 21:10 |
| ubotu | WooooD: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 21:10 |
| hardeep | however other files I have updated, such as /etc/hosts will not change | 21:10 |
| ikonia | WooooD: there are many, qemu, vmware, kvm, etc etc. Try them and see which one fits your needs best | 21:10 |
| zack_ | or krim, my screensavers just freeze | 21:10 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, I installed TVTime, but it doesn't seem to make much sense to me, also mythTV, but that doesn't seem to work at all. | 21:11 |
| WooooD | ikonia: thanks | 21:11 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, GnomeRadio is the only thing that seems simple enough to use. :) | 21:11 |
| graft | hardeep: did you read man motd? | 21:11 |
| scguy318 | zvezdichko: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 | 21:11 |
| krim | zack_: Are you using the restricted driver? | 21:11 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: i am sorry i cant help much further, i have never used a tv card. | 21:11 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, ha ha. :) we are in the same boat. :) | 21:12 |
| etotheipi | hi. no matter what I set the permissible resolutions to be in xorg.conf, it always loads 800x600 @ 56Hz. this only started after the 7.04 -> 7.10 upgrade was finished. is it likely to be a gfx driver issue? I'm using the OSS legacy ATI driver. | 21:12 |
| Delvien | Anyone know how to extend the ARP flush to 48 hours? | 21:12 |
| hardeep | graft: i did not, but I mean it works after editing, just after a restart it seems to change it back to the original, version | 21:12 |
| Rico | I am having trouble with compiz fusion...i have had activated wobby windows and it is not working.. | 21:12 |
| zack_ | krim, i dont know i am using the driver that ubuntu installed by default | 21:12 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: i have used a tv card but under beos/zeta not linux | 21:12 |
| graft | hardeep: as it says in the manpage, you have to edit motd.tail for permanent changes | 21:12 |
| Flare183 | Rico: you might want to ask in #compiz-fusion | 21:12 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: so no idea what software to use | 21:12 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, ah, I guess you are step ahead of me then. :) | 21:12 |
| Rico | okay thanks.. | 21:12 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, I have never used one. | 21:12 |
| zvezdichko | scguy318: I see it... | 21:12 |
| Guest16155 | ikonia: 4U QUAD XEON 1.4GHZ | 21:12 |
| Flare183 | Rico: no problem | 21:12 |
| krim | zack_: if you don't mind using restricted drivers you could go into system -> administration -> restricted drivers management | 21:13 |
| zvezdichko | I was browsing it already | 21:13 |
| etotheipi | shane2peru: are you looking for a program to watch TV? | 21:13 |
| hardeep | graft: I believe I have done that, but i will try again | 21:13 |
| AJC_Z0 | etotheipi: Try setting no explicit or default modes | 21:13 |
| zvezdichko | and it's sad with the current situation | 21:13 |
| krim | zack_: That might help, or not, we'll see :) | 21:13 |
| zvezdichko | a lot of people use flash .. | 21:13 |
| shane2peru | etotheipi, well to watch TV and or just see if my card is working correctly. | 21:13 |
| zack_ | krim, thanks i'll try that | 21:13 |
| brobostigon | shane2peru: never used a tv card under linux. only with beos/zeta,so no idea what software to use on linux. | 21:13 |
| shane2peru | brobostigon, thanks anyway. | 21:14 |
| brobostigon | ok | 21:14 |
| etotheipi | shane2peru: MythTV is still the best all around, even if it's a little cryptic to set up | 21:14 |

| sadaiyappan | MythTV? | 21:14 |
| sadaiyappan | What is that/ | 21:14 |
| etotheipi | shane2peru: look at http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php for a very useful install guide | 21:14 |

| fivetwentysix | Time to install Ubuntu so I don't look like such a fool here:-) | 21:19 |
| LetterRip_ | ie if I'm watching a movie or just browsing the net - and not doing anything processor intensive | 21:20 |
| hossi_ | if my sound device is not found by my gutsy gibbon, any idea how I could find it? :) | 21:20 |
| LetterRip_ | I like to have it fairly quiet | 21:20 |
| Flare183 | Greevous: a good bit of time depending on the data already on it | 21:20 |
| brobostigon | letterrip_: watching a movie can be very processor intensive in my experience | 21:20 |
| Guest16155 | ikonia: can you check by model if my system if 64 or 32 bit ? | 21:21 |
| ikonia | Guest16155: just checked it's 32bit | 21:21 |
| LetterRip_ | brobostigon, watching a DVD on windows vista and xp isn't processor intensive enough to require the fan | 21:21 |
| LetterRip_ | so it is unlikely to need to be for Ubuntu | 21:21 |
| Guest16155 | ikonia: but when i start the computer i can see its detected 16 gb ? | 21:21 |

| Guest16155 | ikonia: mmm ok .. and does there is other way making the ubuntu 32 bit detect more than 4 gb ram ? | 21:22 |
| Greevous | Flare183: the data has been erased; that's why I'm using gpart, to recover the lost partition | 21:22 |

| arno-t | Hi I updated to Gutsy and now in all browsers .JPG files are not thumbnailed anymore. But .jpg files are. I can change the case of the file and e.g. Nautilus will show the thumbnail. Any suggestions on how to make the OS also take JPG into consideration as jpg? | 21:33 |
| zvezdichko | hmmmmmmm no way... I scanned all mozilla directories | 21:33 |
| zvezdichko | but I'm unable to open any flash pages | 21:33 |
| |seb| | is there an open source package to allow java in firefox? | 21:33 |
| zvezdichko | also, nspluginviewer always crashes | 21:34 |
| erUSUL | !brokenflash | zvezdichko | 21:34 |
| ubotu | zvezdichko: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 21:34 |
| |seb| | zvezdichko: i got latest flash from adobe and it is fine | 21:34 |
| yubwyub | Anyone have played Flobo Puyo? The Full Screen mode is not working correctly here... anyone have it working as it should? | 21:34 |
| avalys | can anyone name some advantages of ubuntu server over debian? | 21:34 |
| zvezdichko | |seb|: which browsers do you use and what's the number of the version? | 21:34 |
| |seb| | zvezdichko: firefox 1.5 | 21:35 |
| === Synx_hm is now known as Synx_afk | ||
| naudiz | ubotu I think flash can still work in Ubuntu with Gnash swf viewer | 21:35 |
| naudiz | oh, ubotu is a bot | 21:35 |
| zvezdichko | yeah, as I already said firefox is fine, but other browsers won't work at all, I'm currently readin the thread in ubuntu forums | 21:36 |
| yubwyub | :-) | 21:36 |
| naudiz | avalys there is no advantage to using ubuntu server over debian | 21:36 |
| Flare183 | !away | Synx_afk | 21:36 |
| ubotu | Synx_afk: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines | 21:36 |
| avalys | naudiz: so why does it exist? | 21:36 |
| ikonia | avalys: they are different distros | 21:36 |
| avalys | ikonia: it was my understanding that ubuntu is based on debian - in fact, Ubuntu advertises this on the website | 21:37 |
| rhamirez | everything works, my sound card is detected everything i changed to alsa still the same problem | 21:37 |
| naudiz | avalys to try to dominate the linux market even more than just the desktop based Ubuntu | 21:37 |
| Condoulo | ok, apparently Firefox keeps crashing on me | 21:37 |

| Arelis | Hi all. My games crash the moment i start them up. I'm using an ATI Radeon 9600 video card, and the open-source drivers (whichever got installed). This is a fresh install. | 21:37 |
| Arelis | Can anyone help me with that? | 21:37 |
| ikonia | Arelis: are you running your games through wine ? | 21:38 |
| wols | Arelis: glxinfo | 21:38 |
| Arelis | ikonia: no. | 21:38 |
| ikonia | Arelis: what games are you trying to run ? | 21:38 |
| wols | Arelis: does that crash too? | 21:38 |
| moaiamorfo | hi all | 21:38 |
| Arelis | ikonia: ppracer. | 21:38 |
| avalys | ikonia, naudiz: surely there must be something that Ubuntu claims is an advantage of Ubuntu server over Debian | 21:38 |
| ikonia | Arelis: follow wols advice | 21:38 |
| zack | hi all, i need some help me my ati video card | 21:38 |
| moaiamorfo | how can I change the default icon for a specific mimetype? | 21:38 |
| ikonia | avalys: no - try both see which one you like | 21:38 |
| moaiamorfo | under Ubuntu 7.10 | 21:38 |
| Arelis | wols, ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49738/ | 21:38 |
| nickrud | avalys, single source support | 21:39 |
| moaiamorfo | I'm using a Tango Generated icons theme | 21:39 |
| naudiz | avalys probably the only advantage is that ubuntu server is easier to install | 21:39 |
| wols | nickrud: what is single source support? | 21:39 |
| butcherbird | i dont see an advantage to running ubuntu server in production i think the strength of ubuntu is its desktop environment and didnt think we were event trying to compete with debian there | 21:39 |
| nickrud | wols, people able to buy support for both server and desktop from one source | 21:39 |
| Condoulo | butcherbird- Ubuntu updates more often than Debian. | 21:39 |
| ikonia | Condoulo: no it doesn't | 21:39 |
| Condoulo | which means Ubuntu server will have the most recent updates vs. Debian server. | 21:39 |
| Condoulo | ikonia- huh? o-O | 21:40 |
| ikonia | Condoulo: that's incorrect | 21:40 |
| wols | Condoulo: no | 21:40 |
| ikonia | nickrud: debian does the same | 21:40 |
| nickrud | ikonia, didn't know debian sold support | 21:40 |
| Condoulo | I thought thats the way it was. | 21:40 |
| ikonia | nickrud: it doesn't sell support | 21:40 |
| ikonia | Condoulo: it's not | 21:40 |
| wols | ikonia: you cannot get support directly from debian, but you can hire DDs of course | 21:40 |

| digital00 | I've got a film .avi to see... but when I run it I don't hear the sound... which packages do I have to install?? | 21:41 |
| wols | digital00: depends what codec it uses | 21:41 |
| wols | !mp3 | digital00 | 21:41 |
| ubotu | digital00: 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 | 21:41 |
| naudiz | Conduolo yeah but the newest packages for servers is often more unstable that is why having the newest packages for a server isn't that important because bugfixes are still updated to Debian stable | 21:41 |
| nzh99 | Hi - can anyone help? When I reach the logon screen to Ubuntu 7.10 I have really large font (>50 point), all application title bars are the same until the Appearance -> Visual effects is switched to another and then back to the setting it is on (normal) | 21:41 |
| wols | digital00: and sound itself normally works? | 21:41 |
| digital00 | wols: yes | 21:41 |

| sidelil | excuse me is it possible to move a logical partition inside an extended one? I have resized it, but I can't move it now. | 21:42 |
| zvezdichko | The new version of Flash is only compatible with 9.50 Beta 2 of Opera (and later). | 21:42 |
| ikonia | sidelil: logical partitions are already in extended ones | 21:42 |
| zvezdichko | so, if I find 9.50 beta of opera | 21:42 |
| ikonia | zvezdichko: we know | 21:42 |
| zvezdichko | it is supposed to work | 21:42 |
| zvezdichko | i'm just curious. is this something that affects all distros or it's only limited to ubuntu? | 21:43 |
| ikonia | zvezdichko: all | 21:43 |
| Arelis | wols: Can you get any useful information out of that? | 21:43 |
| Arelis | ikonia: you too? | 21:43 |
| Condoulo | Upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 takes a while. =/ | 21:43 |
| ikonia | zvezdichko: all that use that version I shouldl say | 21:43 |
| nickrud | zvezdichko, all. for example, http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132138 | 21:43 |
| ikonia | Condoulo: depends on your internet connection and machine speed | 21:43 |
| wols | sidelil: all logical partitions are inside an extended one. no other way | 21:43 |
| sidelil | wols, ikonia: yes I know. In fact my logical partition *is* inside the extended one, but now I would like to move it, still inside (not outside) | 21:44 |
| ikonia | sidelil: you can move partitions around using tools like gparted but you risk data corruption. | 21:44 |
| Condoulo | ikonia- true. But it i going faster than last time. Last time I was on a Wireless connection on a Celeron. Now I'm on a LAN connection using a Pentium D machine. | 21:44 |
| wols | sidelil: resize the extended maybe so it has all unallocated space? | 21:44 |
| naudiz | zvezdichko: I have flash working in firefox on Gutsy Gibbon using the Gnash swf viewer | 21:44 |
| ikonia | Condoulo: mirror speeds ? | 21:44 |
| sidelil | ikonia: I've tried, but it doesn't allow me, I don't know why. | 21:44 |
| avalys | okay, how about reasons _not_ to go with Ubuntu server? | 21:44 |
| wols | naudiz: for low values of "working". not all flash applets will work | 21:45 |
| ikonia | sidelil: not enough free disk space ? | 21:45 |
| avalys | over debian, that is | 21:45 |
| naudiz | avalys because Ubuntus strength is the desktop | 21:45 |
| ikonia | avalys: if there is no reason to do it, why would there be a reason not to do it | 21:45 |
| nzh99 | Anyone help with a large font display problem?? Or suggest someone else to post the question if not appropriate here - thanks :) | 21:45 |
| ikonia | avalys: try them, see which one YOU like | 21:45 |
| sidelil | ikonia, I've used the live cd and the partition was unmounted. Yes, I'm sure there is space. | 21:45 |
| ikonia | naudiz: the server version is just as sgtrong | 21:45 |

| function1 | why would i want to use the text based installer other than to install lvm encryption | 21:46 |
| ikonia | function1: some video cards have issues. | 21:46 |
| naudiz | ikonia does Ubuntu server install Xorg by default ? | 21:46 |
| ikonia | naudiz: no | 21:46 |
| naudiz | ikonia: good | 21:46 |
| Condoulo | function1- because some videos card have troubles with the new xorg config package in 7.10 (including mines.) | 21:46 |
| avalys | ikonia: well, there might be no reason to do it, and many reasons not to do it | 21:47 |
| function1 | ati? | 21:47 |
| julien | Condoulo: u mean nvidia or ati? | 21:47 |
| Condoulo | I never had trouble with installing Ubuntu until 7.10. | 21:47 |
| ikonia | avalys: there are not. | 21:47 |
| Condoulo | function1- I have ATI | 21:47 |
| godfree2 | where can I find why I am blocked on ubuntu forums? | 21:47 |
| Arelis | ikonia: are you there? | 21:47 |
| Condoulo | julien- I only tried on ATI. not sure about nVidia. | 21:47 |
| julien | Condoulo: have nvidia and have problems too | 21:47 |
| wols | Condoulo: which ati cart? | 21:47 |
| ikonia | Arelis: yes I am | 21:47 |
| function1 | i have x1400.. some things a seem a little weird but compiz works anyway | 21:47 |
| nickrud | Condoulo, one of the 1xxx series? | 21:47 |
| Condoulo | wols- ATI Radeon X200 (Integrated | 21:47 |
| julien | Condoulo: only since 7.10 | 21:47 |

| hyper_ch | I got a strange problem: I rebooted my computer because of some weird behaviour, then I just got the Ubuntu default background but no loging window or so... and the keyboard didn't do anyhting and nothing else was loaded... I thought maybe some glitch or something, tried again -> same result... ok, I logged then into recovery mode and installed KDE through kubuntu-desktop... restarted again, in KDM I saw the login manager, I could select m | 21:48 |
| ikonia | Arelis: wols was looking at it, I'm letting him responds as he's much sharper with ati cards than myself. | 21:48 |
| nickrud | hm, 200m installed fine here (got the desktop by inattention, gave it a try) | 21:48 |
| wols | Arelis: already seen it direct rendering is on, 3D should be fine | 21:48 |
| vasser | hello | 21:48 |
| Condoulo | julien- yeah. 7.04 and 6.10 don't have a problem booting into LiveCD with my ATI. | 21:48 |
| Arelis | wols: For some reason it's not. ppracer crashes the moment it starts. | 21:48 |
| wols | Arelis: but for 9600 fglrx is usually better, if it works | 21:48 |
| vasser | i have a problem with my ubuntu, it keeps loading module nvidia at boot, even though its not on /etc/modules | 21:48 |
| Arelis | but glxgears is working just fine | 21:48 |
| earthling | can wifi drivers be made to work through wine? | 21:48 |
| julien | Condoulo, what is ur card? | 21:48 |
| vasser | and when nvidia module is loaded, the xorg cannot start | 21:49 |
| wols | earthling: if wifi works on the linux side,nothing special needed in wine | 21:49 |
| earthling | windows wifi drivers ie | 21:49 |
| Condoulo | julien- Its not a card really. Its just my integrated ATI Radeon X200 | 21:49 |
| wols | vasser: dpkg -l |grep nvidia | 21:49 |
| julien | Condoulo, it's a laptop? | 21:49 |
| Condoulo | julien- desktop | 21:49 |

| julien | Condoulo, i have an ati on Xpress radeo on my laptop | 21:49 |
| bartek2109 | hi everyone how can i open *.rar files? | 21:49 |
| wols | Arelis: I would try the proprietary drivers | 21:49 |
| naudiz | bartek2109: rar e <file> | 21:50 |
| julien | Condoulo, works great with 7.10 but only with amd ati driver from their sit | 21:50 |
| brobostigon | bartek2109: file-roller | 21:50 |
| Arelis | wols: I've done that before but... it doesn't work that well. And i don't get compiz. | 21:50 |
| hyper_ch | nobody has an idea? | 21:50 |
| wols | earthling: through ndiswrapper which is an ugly kludge, but it has nothing to do with wine, wine not needed or used for it | 21:50 |
| bartek2109 | tanks mates;] | 21:50 |
| naudiz | bartek2109: in terminal window type 'rar e filename' | 21:50 |
| Rockoman | Hey can someone help me on the PS3 Ubuntu? | 21:50 |
| julien | Condoulo, the specification have been published for ati cards so the drivers will be better soon | 21:50 |
| wols | Arelis: yes, there is that. well you do via xserver-xgl but that has its own pitfalls yes | 21:50 |
| vasser | wols: the only package i have with nvidia that is installed is nvidia-kernel-common | 21:50 |
| Condoulo | julien- my card only works when I install the drivers on 7.04, then do a upgrade. | 21:50 |
| vasser | but i cannot remove it, it tells me i need to remove the kernel | 21:51 |
| wols | vasser: install the restricted drivers. you will need an nvidia glx package too | 21:51 |
| revilodraw | since installing and playing around with compiz i have lost the blue panel at the top of all my windows, any ideas how to get it back? | 21:51 |
| Condoulo | julien- do you know how I can update my ATI drivers to the new 7.12 drivers? | 21:51 |
| Arelis | wols: Disabling Compiz did the trick. | 21:51 |
| fsufitch | i asked this earlier but i got no answer, so i'm asking it again: grub on my laptop is dead. all it does is freeze with a blinking cursor but no prompt. this just happened today for no reason apparently. i already tried reinstalling grub and following the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2689.html but no go. a bit of info on my partitions: 1 x NTFS (windows), 1 x FAT (shared by windows and Linux), | 21:51 |
| fsufitch | 1 x extended partition containing a bunch of logical ext3s on which linux is installed. grub is on one of those. anybody have any ideas? | 21:51 |
| wols | Arelis: thanks, good to know. or bad, depending | 21:51 |
| adamonline46 | revilodraw: Which blue panel is that? The title bar? | 21:51 |
| earthling | wols: any other alternative for ndis? isnt workin for mine.... have problems posted on forum as old as two months . no replies | 21:51 |
| revilodraw | adamonline46: yes | 21:51 |
| Condoulo | brb | 21:51 |
| vasser | wols: when i use a driver other than the latest, i don't get direct rendering | 21:52 |
| julien | Condoulo, download them from ati website and lunch the binary that's all i think...with an automatic install | 21:52 |
| Rockoman | I just installed Ubuntu on my PS3, and I can't figure out how to get the Wifi or Wired Connection on, any ideas? | 21:52 |
| adamonline46 | revilodraw: Did you install Emerald? Go to your kmenu, down to settings, and 'emerald theme manager'... From there, select a different title bar theme... | 21:52 |
| wols | vasser: what card? | 21:52 |
| julien | Condoulo maybe uninstall the old kernel module first | 21:52 |
| vasser | wols:8800gt | 21:52 |
| === spoopmas is now known as spoop | ||
| julien | Condoulo maybe it's ur xorg.conf who is not correct | 21:53 |
| nickrud | julien, rather than have people use the ati installer directly, using http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide is better since it creates deb packages that are easily removed. | 21:53 |
| wols | vasser: locate nvidia.ko what path does it show? | 21:54 |
| Arelis | wols: actually, that made my pc crash. | 21:54 |
| julien | Nickrud: yes but i'm not sure that the drivers are the last ones... | 21:54 |
| Retro` | hello | 21:54 |
| Arelis | wols: I can live without compiz. Should i install fglrx, or will it slow things down? | 21:54 |
| nickrud | julien, yes, 7.12 | 21:54 |
| Retro` | i need some help | 21:54 |
| vasser | /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko | 21:54 |
| Arelis | wols: I have an ATI Radeon 9600 | 21:54 |
| wols | Arelis: it should speed things up | 21:54 |
| julien | nickrud, ok then, it's easier i agree | 21:54 |
| wols | vasser: dpkg -S /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko | 21:54 |
| nickrud | julien, well, not easier exactly, but definitely safer | 21:54 |
| revilodraw | adamonline46: well firstly they are kde instructions and i use gnome, and secondly when i went into my theme manager and chose a new title bar theme, nothing happened | 21:55 |
| julien | Nickrud: but each time i have done that, my glxgears were poor in fps | 21:55 |
| adamonline46 | Does anyone use acidrip? It seems I can only rip one track at a time? | 21:55 |
| Retro` | please tell me why do i not have EasyTAG listed among other programs? | 21:55 |
| vasser | wols: not found | 21:55 |
| Retro` | i have installed it before | 21:55 |
| julien | Nickrud: each time there is some modif to do in xorg.conf no? | 21:55 |
| Retro` | then removed it | 21:55 |
| === Delvien_ is now known as Delvien | ||
| teknoprep | hey | 21:55 |
| Retro` | and now reinstalled it | 21:55 |
| nickrud | julien, usually that's because of kernel module mismatches, the page has better instructions these days | 21:55 |
| wols | vasser: how did you install your nvidia drivers exactly? | 21:55 |
| Arelis | wols: I'm rebooting. Please do not leave, if you want :) | 21:55 |
| vasser | wols: when i run xorg after removing the module, it runs, and i see another nvdia module running | 21:55 |
| wols | vasser: did you use envy or automatix or nvidia.com | 21:56 |
| teknoprep | how do i check to see if linux recognizes my usb serial adapter ? | 21:56 |
| gogzmer | using apt-get, how can one tell if a particular package is installed? | 21:56 |
| zvezdichko | I have luck. Got Flash to work with Opera 9.5 beta | 21:56 |
| Retro` | anyone has EasyTAG installed? | 21:56 |
| vasser | wols: using the NVIDIA*-.run file, from their site | 21:56 |
| wols | vasser: then where is this nvidia.ko module? | 21:56 |
| revilodraw | i have easytag | 21:56 |
| wols | vasser: then ask #nvidia how to uninstall I'd say | 21:56 |
| brobostigon | zvezdichko: what platform?? | 21:56 |
| wols | vasser: fi you want to | 21:56 |
| earthling | any ways to optimise gusty's preformance? | 21:56 |
| Retro` | revilodraw, i have a problem with EasyTAG | 21:56 |
| zvezdichko | Celeron 1.6 GHz | 21:56 |
| ikonia | earthling: thats a pretty generic question | 21:56 |
| gogzmer | earthling: Lots. In what way do you mean? | 21:57 |
| zvezdichko | Ubuntu Gutsy | 21:57 |
| vasser | i just need to know how to stop ubuntu from starting up the nvidia module on start up | 21:57 |
| revilodraw | retro; what is it | 21:57 |
| adamonline46 | revilodraw: Hehheh, sorry bout that :) Alright, lemme see... In Emerald theme manager, if you click on 'edit themes', and then 'titlebar', do you have a min height for it? Or is anything major set to teransparent? | 21:57 |
| naudiz | earthling: compile a new kernel with gcc optimizations | 21:57 |
| wols | !blacklist | 21:57 |
| vasser | after that, it will prolly work | 21:57 |
| ikonia | naudiz: thats one of the most nonsense comments made. | 21:57 |
| ubotu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 21:57 |
| Retro` | revilodraw, i have had it installed and i removed it, but then when i reinstalled it, it wasn't present anywhere... as if not installed at all | 21:57 |
| wols | !blacklist | vasser | 21:57 |
| ubotu | vasser: please see above | 21:57 |
| Speckal | hi all | 21:57 |
| ikonia | naudiz: if don't make comments about things you clearly don't understand. | 21:57 |
| earthling | optimiising RAM usage | 21:57 |
| revilodraw | adamonline46: i dont have emerald any more... not since dapper | 21:57 |
| vasser | wols: won't it disable the load of the module later on ? | 21:57 |
| naudiz | ikonia: that would optimize ram usage and make the kernel more responsive | 21:57 |

| gogzmer | earthling: Run from the command line...no gui | 21:58 |
| ikonia | naudiz: no it wouldn't and in some cases can actually make it slower | 21:58 |
| nickrud | Speckal, drupal.org | 21:58 |
| wols | vasser: not if you explictly modprobe it I'd think but if you want to load it anyways, you wouldn't blacklist it | 21:58 |
| Retro` | revilodraw, please tell me how can i install easytag through the console | 21:58 |
| naudiz | ikonia: I'm been using linux since 1999 and I'm also a FreeBSD and NetBSD user and I know more about unix than you do | 21:58 |

| figi | hello, how do i install flashplayer in opera 9.25? | 21:58 |
| revilodraw | retro; there is a beautiful magical place where programs get installed, even if no icons come into the menu.. i dont know where it is, but someone here will...and im being serious lol | 21:58 |
| earthling | wols:\512 | 21:58 |
| ikonia | naudiz: your not giving that impression out. | 21:58 |
| wols | naudiz: you still don't have a clue :) | 21:58 |
| Speckal | thanks, nickrud | 21:58 |
| butcherbird | earthling: xubuntu would be the easiest recommendation also there is alot of stuff in startup you dont need you might search for bum in ubuntu forums | 21:59 |
| vasser | i will give it a try, thanks, wols | 21:59 |
| zvezdichko | figi: there's currently no way to install flash player with Opera. | 21:59 |

| Rockoman | I just installed Ubuntu on my PS3, and I can't figure out how to get the Wifi or Wired Connection on, any ideas? | 22:00 |
| wols | revilodraw: dpkg -L <packagename you installed> | grep bin | 22:00 |
| nickrud | !placebo | 22:00 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about placebo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:00 |
| ikonia | Rockoman: the PS3 is not a supported hardware platform. | 22:00 |
| erUSUL | revilodraw: they are on your PATH so you can lounch them from terminal or Alt + F2 | 22:00 |
| naudiz | ikonia: I guess Gentoo just uses GCC optimization flags on everything for no reason then right ? | 22:00 |
| wols | Rockoman: lspci. what network cards do you have? | 22:00 |
| earthling | killing processes that we dont want running is ok. Can there be more optimising RAM performance? | 22:00 |
| brobostigon | rockoman:no idea, sorry. | 22:00 |
| erUSUL | !cli | revilodraw | 22:00 |
| ubotu | revilodraw: 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 | 22:00 |
| ikonia | naudiz: yes, thats correct. | 22:00 |
| ikonia | naudiz: I'm not disucssion this any futher with you as it's clear your just talking nonsense. | 22:01 |
| naudiz | ikonia: haha, you're crazy | 22:01 |
| ikonia | naudiz: no, I just don't quote random stuff I've read | 22:01 |
| wols | * dpkg spends 7 days recompiling naudiz, and when it's all done, naudiz runs no faster than previously | 22:01 |
| revilodraw | erUSUL: does ubuntu have a cli? noooo way! thanks for that, who would have thought... | 22:01 |
| brobostigon | earthling: in my experience get rid of desktop effects(compiz-fusion) | 22:01 |
| erUSUL | revilodraw: XD | 22:02 |
| wols | erUSUL: use some other desktop environment than gnome. xfce for example | 22:02 |
| brobostigon | enlightenment | 22:02 |
| gogzmer | Is there an easy way to tell what packages are installed from the command line using apt or some other tool? | 22:02 |
| wols | brobostigon: I wouldn't call that "Light" :) | 22:02 |
| ikonia | gogzmer dpkg -l | 22:03 |
| wols | gogzmer: dpkg -l |grep ^ii | 22:03 |
| nickrud | gogzmer, aptitude search ~i | 22:03 |
| gogzmer | thanks | 22:03 |
| naudiz | earthling: if you recompile a kernel and only compile in the stuff you need from dmesg info you can optimize RAM performance because the kernel footprint in RAM will be smaller allowing more RAM for other processes/applications | 22:03 |
| brobostigon | enlightenment is light inmy experience | 22:03 |
| ikonia | earthling: please ignore that advice from naudiz it is nonsense. | 22:03 |
| wols | naudiz: not with distro kernels in any appreciable amount. you can save diskspace tho. but not really RAM | 22:03 |
| erUSUL | wols: tab completion ? ;) | 22:04 |
| wols | erUSUL: as very often :) | 22:04 |
| ader10 | Conky doesn't display the MPD artist or title. Any suggestions? | 22:04 |

| krim | Is it possible to convert FLAC to Apple Lossless? | 22:04 |
| sourcemaker | what's the difference between strigi and beagle? Same engine or different development? | 22:04 |
| butcherbird | earthling: if that | 22:04 |
| wols | krim: if you find a encoder for apple lossless: yes | 22:04 |
| naudiz | earthling: it will make your system boot up faster too | 22:04 |
| erUSUL | krim: Flac --> wav --> apple lossless | 22:04 |
| __sc | does anyone have any advice regarding kvm versus virtualbox? i'd like to install windows in ubuntu. | 22:04 |
| ikonia | earthling: it will not make anything boot faster | 22:04 |
| ikonia | earthling: naudiz is talking nonsense, I advice you to ingore any of that advice. | 22:05 |
| * wols agrees with ikonia | 22:05 | |
| naudiz | ikonia: you are an idiot -- if you recompile a kernel to only have the drivers you need then the system boots up faster | 22:05 |
| ikonia | __sc: I have positive comments for kvm | 22:05 |
| Aztec007 | hey guys, I'm doing a dual boot on my laptop, First I installed Ubuntu, then on another partition I installed XP but the boot loader doesn't load at all, it automatically loads into windows :( | 22:05 |
| ikonia | naudiz: nope. | 22:05 |
| hyper_ch | I got a strange problem: I rebooted my computer because of some weird behaviour, then I just got the Ubuntu default background but no loging window or so... and the keyboard didn't do anyhting and nothing else was loaded... I thought maybe some glitch or something, tried again -> same result... ok, I logged then into recovery mode and installed KDE through kubuntu-desktop... restarted again, in KDM I saw the login manager, I could select m | 22:05 |
| naudiz | ikonia: your smoking crack | 22:05 |
| krim | Ok let me rephrase that, is there an apple lossless encoder for GNU/Linux? (Yes I did stfw but the results were a bit vague) | 22:05 |
| butcherbird | well in freebsd i routinely recompile kernel for better boot time and more streamlined but in linux the way it used modules.. i dunno if its worth it | 22:05 |
| revilodraw | i have lost my title bar, and cant use 'alt f4' or commands like that | 22:05 |
| ikonia | naudiz: and I advise you to not call me names again please. | 22:05 |
| wols | !grub | Aztec007 | 22:05 |
| ubotu | Aztec007: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 22:05 |
| earthling | ok may be naudiz method may not give much of an improvement but recompiling only what you need sounds fun... where can i get references to learn that? | 22:06 |
| adamonline46 | revilodraw: You may be able to disable CF, and restart to make sure that's the problem... Though I'm sure it may be... | 22:06 |
| wols | !compile | earthling | 22:06 |
| ubotu | earthling: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 22:06 |
| ikonia | earthling: don't do it, you will lose ubuntu community support and no doubt break your system. | 22:06 |
| Aztec007 | ubotu: cool, I'll take a look | 22:07 |
| wols | erUSUL: and for gosh's sake, use kernel-package | 22:07 |
| zarac- | yo people =D | 22:07 |

| ader10 | What's the default fixed width font? | 22:07 |
| naudiz | earthling: ikonia is treating you like an idiot do you like that ? | 22:07 |
| wols | ader10: do you get a X loading error about default font "fixed"? | 22:07 |
| zarac- | can i switch window manager while having all programs running and not restarting x etc..? =D | 22:07 |
| ikonia | naudiz: no I'm not treating him like an idiot. I'm offering sound advice. | 22:07 |
| brobostigon | offtopic everybody | 22:07 |
| butcherbird | ikonia: is echoing the official ubuntu line which is really right 98% of the time | 22:07 |
| Flare183 | zarac-: yes | 22:07 |
| wols | zarac-: yes | 22:07 |
| naudiz | ikonia: you think he is not capable of compiling a working kernel so you are assuming ubuntu users are idiots | 22:08 |
| Flare183 | !offtopic | 22:08 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 22:08 |
| ader10 | wols: No, it's just that I installed some font pack (forget which) and the terminal font looks very thin and is gray instead of black | 22:08 |
| wols | naudiz: ubuntu is designed for people NOT to compile their own kernels | 22:08 |
| ikonia | naudiz: no I'm not, the average user will break a kernel build | 22:08 |
| ikonia | naudiz: so the advice is to not do it for no reason | 22:08 |
| naudiz | ikonia: the average user being the idiot in your opinion | 22:08 |
| adamonline46 | revilodraw: I'm using Kubuntu, but for me in ~/.kde/Autostart I have a script that starts it. If you can find a script called 'compiz.sh' or 'startcompiz', or something of that nature, comment out the line inside of it. | 22:08 |
| Myrtti | ^_____0 | 22:08 |

| ubotu | naudiz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 22:08 |
| ikonia | naudiz: no, and if you continue to put words in my mouth I'll ask you to leave. | 22:08 |
| wols | naudiz: not even debian encourages people to compile their own kernel | 22:08 |
| zarac- | thanks Flare183 + wols ... i guess just typing the name of it? | 22:09 |
| PriceChild | ikonia, ignore him please | 22:09 |
| earthling | hey !!!! what is the fun in computing if you dont try ...... dont have much to do these days anyway? | 22:09 |
| zarac- | like.. "# compiz" ... "# fluxbox" etc | 22:09 |
| wols | zarac-: you need to stop the old one first | 22:09 |
| ikonia | PriceChild: thank you | 22:09 |
| gogzmer | Thank you | 22:09 |
| zarac- | wols, .. oh.. how do i do that? =D | 22:09 |
| Flare183 | PriceChild: thanks | 22:09 |
| ader10 | What's the default fixed width font? | 22:09 |
| wols | zarac-: depends a bit on the WM. kill should usually work but is fairly crude | 22:09 |
| zarac- | ok .. need.. thanks =D | 22:10 |
| gogzmer | zarac-: Often, WM have some sort of --replace option to replace whatever one is currently running with themselves | 22:10 |
| earthling | come on people shoulnt have kicked him............ naudiz was just soundin his opinion . isnt this a free world? | 22:10 |

| gino | i need some help with chroot, som body knows? | 22:12 |

| zarac- | what did you run before that? ... before compiz that is =D | 22:13 |
| wols | ader10: honestly, even where I do have X I dunno which. anf there is not really a default with all things like Xresources and the like | 22:13 |
| butcherbird | Gringo_: pan is the standard i think or was a few years ago | 22:13 |
| Gringo_ | butcherbird: tnx, i'll give it a try | 22:13 |
| nickrud | Gringo_, pan , pimppa | 22:13 |
| gogzmer | zarac-: It is -fusion because it has many of the Beryl additions in it and isn't pure compiz | 22:13 |
| zarac- | ok =D | 22:14 |
| Myrtti | tshih | 22:14 |
| zarac- | so gogzmer .. what before compiz-fusion? =D | 22:14 |
| gogzmer | zarac-: What do you mean before? | 22:14 |
| ader10 | wols: I'm pretty sure that ubuntu installs basically the same stuff on each system | 22:14 |
| ader10 | wols: It's not like you'd see the default terminal font on one box be DejaVu 10 and on another Monospace 12 | 22:15 |
| zarac- | gogzmer, .. what window manager before compiz-fusion? or have you only used that? | 22:15 |
| wols | ader10: yes, but it doesn't mean is uses the same stuff on every system :) | 22:15 |
| zarac- | well i'm getting fluxbox =D | 22:15 |
| gogzmer | zarac-: Before that, I used Metacity that comes with older Ubuntu versions. I did everything I needed, which wasn't much, so it was sufficient | 22:15 |
| zarac- | used it a few years ago= D | 22:16 |
| zarac- | ok.. sweet =D | 22:16 |

| raf_ | what is the definition of localhost? | 22:34 |

| adamonline46 | Is xfce a good choice of desktop environment for a Pentium 2 fileserver? | 22:35 |

| Soskel | is there a way I can add programs and such to a ISO? | 22:35 |
| rsk | adamonline46: no. i would choose e17. | 22:35 |
| Retro` | nickrud, now what? | 22:35 |
| nickrud | Retro`, so killall gnome-panel , regen the menus | 22:36 |
| MikeH | nickrud, not tried any others, however, this dvd isn't scratched in any way | 22:36 |
| Soskel | how can I change an ISO by adding my own programs? | 22:36 |
| Retro` | nickrud, sudo aptitude purge easytag && sudo aptitude install easytag ?? | 22:36 |
| Retro` | now this? | 22:36 |
| tarelerulz | I am trying to set up vnc so it running on display 0 . The display I am using right now . It says I have to delete .X-lock and it still will not let me put a vnc on Display 0 ? It says there is vnc running on display O any one have any idea | 22:36 |
| adamonline46 | rsk: Alright. Is that somewhat full featured? I know, I'm asking for a paradox 8) But, I've tried fluxbox and it was way too bare for me... Would e17 do me better? | 22:36 |
| rsk | yes it would be better | 22:36 |
| Zippo_dd | anybody around for a noob question ? | 22:37 |
| nickrud | Retro`, did the second command (/share/) complete successfully? If so, you should simply killall gnome-panel to regen menus | 22:37 |

| suncydu | desperate help. Posted earlyer that thunderbird hangs. I found out now that many programs hangs when startut. Inkl terminal sometimes. Is it anything I can do to refresh it instead of reinstalling the hole system?? | 22:48 |
| nickrud | suncydu, you mean programs take like a minute to start, sometimes? | 22:48 |
| slliness | gogzmer, no I have the emerald and the whole compiz thing installed just want it back to the stripped down compiz that is installed by default and I do have visual effects still set to none and still having problems | 22:49 |
| Zippo_dd | <timfrost> Zippo_dd: I assume that the partitions that aren't mounting are the NTFS ones. - yes | 22:49 |
| Zippo_dd | i tried the script method | 22:49 |
| Zippo_dd | it says its 'ignoring' those drives | 22:49 |
| nickrud | suncydu, but run normally after open, until you close them and it takes a long time to restart? | 22:49 |
| suncydu | nickrud. not like a minute. minutes and I have to kill it and then start it over... changes was today | 22:49 |
| jauru | I just installed the vim-rails package, but it's not working. Is there something I need to add to my .vimrc before the plugin will load? | 22:49 |
| mrdinkles | gogzmer: This will give me a normal windows manager right? because im using WoW with wine-- Every since i fiddled with compiz the WoW window doesnt fully take up the screen and still shows my panels | 22:49 |
| mrdinkles | gogzmer: it worked fine till i fiddled-- you know what might cause this? | 22:50 |
| adamonline46 | Could anyone help me enable my Intel E100 Pro Ethernet Adapter? | 22:50 |
| nickrud | suncydu, what Im thinking, they would run normally when open, just take forever to open | 22:50 |
| suncydu | nickrud: f.example thunderbird does not answer at all when a new mail comes | 22:50 |
| timfrost | Zippo_dd: have you got an NTFS filesystem driver installed - ntfs-3g or fuse - see the URL that ubotu cited | 22:50 |

| clay_ | oh? | 23:06 |
| suncydu | ifirebal... one line sending etc.... and thats it | 23:06 |
| Kaell | anton - you use a router, which makes you both look like you have the same IP to the outside, but inside the LAN you have different IPs | 23:06 |
| Slart | anton: hmm..what are you trying to do? | 23:06 |
| Kaell | its called NAT | 23:06 |
| suncydu | ifireball: i think it was the interfacec I deleted | 23:06 |
| ompaul | anton, that is beyond this channel, jjust try this, sudo dhclient << if that works great if not you got to read your router/modem manual | 23:06 |
| anton | Slart: I'm trying to get a friends internet connection to work... | 23:06 |
| jauru | rubax: sorry to hear that. I've had issues with slow booting caused by name lookups timing out (using .local addresses). The replacement line should make it check with DNS which seems to solve that issue... | 23:07 |

| DefineByte | 1 sec. :) | 23:37 |
| Retro` | erUSUL, i don't know any lame command switches | 23:37 |
| Condoulo | how can I set it to where ctrl+alt+delete will pop up system monitor | 23:38 |
| Retro` | erUSUL, please tell me the command for 128 kb/s and joint stereo | 23:38 |
| suncydu | ifireball: haven't tryed it yet... will now:-) | 23:38 |
| hanasakiRemote | hi all is the G35 supported video? | 23:38 |
| DefineByte | robdig: Still no go. I get "ls: reading directory .: Input/output error" | 23:38 |
| suncydu | ifireball: no errors | 23:39 |
| erUSUL | Retro`: the bitrate is set on the second tab to force joint stereo... -m j | 23:39 |
| DefineByte | It's mounted read-only, if that makes a difference. | 23:39 |
| sigra | Gnome for Life! | 23:39 |
| robdig | DefineByte: wierd. sorry, but I don't know...maybe someone else will | 23:39 |
| LinuxNI1 | any ideas what would cause ubuntu 7.1 to not recognize my hard drive? the computer boots to the disk so i know it is fine but sudo fdisk -l wont show it. | 23:39 |
| robdig | DefineByte: shouldn't | 23:39 |
| ifireball | suncydu: see if it fixed your problem, if not paste ifconfig | 23:39 |
| Fisher | Hello!! I need help to configure lirc in ubuntu. | 23:39 |
| * robdig has to go eat dinner so wife won't get upset | 23:39 | |
| ifireball | suncydu: wrt the interfaces file, you might need to add a newline after the last line (if you didn't already) | 23:39 |
| DefineByte | robdig :Thanks for trying anyway. :) | 23:40 |
| Kuroachia | I'm having some trouble getting Kismet to run if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. I've installed kismet but I'm having trouble with the initial configure. | 23:40 |
| gabbah | hi guys. i ran ubuntu, and moved the system partition on the disk (booted from live cd to do that). Now i get a error 17 when grub loads. how can i tell grub that the partition has moved? | 23:40 |
| sasha_ | aplay -l for this user says no soundcards found, but the main user it lists the sound cards | 23:40 |
| pike_ | LinuxNI1: something odd about the geometry maybe? | 23:40 |
| Retro` | erUSUL, thanks | 23:40 |
| chlorinekid | quit | 23:40 |
| sasha_ | what gives permission for a new user to see the sound card ? | 23:40 |
| suncydu | ifireball: you now what. You saved my rest of 2007. Thank you so much..... very happy... What did we do??:-) | 23:40 |
| pike_ | LinuxNI1: sasha_ do the command 'groups' as the orginal user that will tell you groups youwant | 23:40 |
| ifireball | suncydu: we restored the "lo" interface | 23:40 |
| pike_ | LinuxNI1: ignore that | 23:41 |
| Fisher | I need help to setup lirc in ubuntu | 23:41 |
| LinuxNI1 | pike_: i dont think so. 4 partitions 3 ext3 and 1 as swap. i can boot the OS's that are installed on it but gusty just wont show the drive | 23:41 |
| ifireball | gabbah: you need to reinstall the MBR component of grub, try the "grub-install" script | 23:41 |
| suncydu | ifireball: whatever we restored I am VERY happy for youre help. Thank you again:-) | 23:41 |
| sztamas | hi, I have a problem with nm-applet. In manual mode I usually can't get it to connect to my wireless network. | 23:41 |
| ifireball | suncydu: not sure it'll survive a reboot at this point | 23:41 |
| sztamas | I say usually because it did work once | 23:42 |
| Fisher | Can someone help me to setup lirc in ubuntu?? | 23:42 |
| sztamas | with roaming mode it connects everytime | 23:42 |
| ifireball | suncydu: the networking restart thing should've worked | 23:42 |
| pike_ | LinuxNI1: so is this a hd you just added to your computer? maybe you didnt change the jumper to make it a slave? | 23:42 |
| gabbah | ifireball: ok.. so where is that script? can i run it from live cd? | 23:42 |
| sasha_ | pike_, great thx, that shows that this user is not a part of the audio group, but now that i have added it it hasnt shown that it is a part of that group | 23:42 |
| suncydu | ifireball... ok lets try.. And if not??? what then? | 23:42 |
| sztamas | but I would like to use static ip and stuff | 23:42 |
| Fisher | I installed the packages and it keep saying it is not configured | 23:42 |
| LinuxNI1 | pike_: its in a laptop and i have been using it for a while. | 23:42 |
| Retro` | erUSUL, -a %a -b %b -d %y -G %g -N %t -l %d -o %m -t %n %w | 23:42 |
| corisco | hello everybody | 23:42 |
| corisco | quick question | 23:43 |
| LinuxNI1 | pike_: other livecds recognize it just fine. | 23:43 |
| sztamas | is there a way to debug what it does? Does nm-applet log somewhere? | 23:43 |
| pike_ | sasha_: youll need to logout and back in for it to take effect assuming ya got it added right | 23:43 |
| ifireball | suncydu: well, if not, you can run my command again and come back here, we'll try to figure out what is still wrong with the interfaces file (did you add a newline?) | 23:43 |
| pike_ | LinuxNI1: driver issue then maybe | 23:43 |
| sasha_ | pike_, ok thx, didnt realise i had to logout and log back in, thx | 23:43 |
| Retro` | erUSUL, did you mean to say i need to change the %m -t to %m -j ?? | 23:43 |
| EvilMot | Is there a package to install FreeNX client on 7.10? | 23:44 |
| MacTheMad | could someone tell me where on the net I can find a good guide to using bash commands like how to open root (not sudo) & how to get back to x desktop when I'm done? | 23:44 |
| fivetwentysix | Hmm | 23:44 |
| adamonline46 | Does anyone think a Pentium 2 400MHz with 128 MB can stream video over gigabit nicely? | 23:44 |
| Odd-rationale | Is there a ktouch for windows? | 23:44 |
| fivetwentysix | I don't think restricted drivers installed my graphic card drivers properly | 23:44 |
| corisco | I'm running 7.10 and I want to change my default keyboard language from english to portuguese. I assume I would have to edit xorg.conf. Is this correct? If it is then where is that file locate? THanks! | 23:44 |
| dorkface | Hi all. I'm trying to transfer some files from my non-internet connected windows machine to my laptop with ubuntu on it. All I have at the moment is a crossover cable to be able to transfer the files. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to work, if it is possible? | 23:44 |
| ifireball | gabbah: I think so, you should read the manpage first though, the script might be volatile... | 23:45 |
| spooge | hello | 23:45 |
| Retro` | erUSUL, ??? | 23:45 |
| EvilMot | quit | 23:45 |
| gabbah | ifireball ok cool.. so i'll just man grub it then i guess... | 23:46 |
| Retro` | erUSUL, -a %a -b %b -d %y -G %g -N %t -l %d -o %m -t %n %w | 23:46 |
| Retro` | erUSUL, did you mean to say i need to change the %m -t to %m -j ?? | 23:46 |
| ifireball | gabbah: actually, reading the manpage myself, I think it may not exactly do what I want it to... did you ever do a manual grub install? | 23:46 |
| vishal | Hi, sorry this is a really dumb question, but how do I increase the number of desktop workspaces? | 23:47 |
| gabbah | ifireball no i just installed ubuntu on a partition, and it fixed the grub part by itself | 23:47 |
| adamonline46 | Which file do I edit to add network interfaces? I know there's /etc/network/interfaces; but I thought there was another one too... | 23:47 |
| suncydu | ifireball: rebooted and everything is ok:-) | 23:47 |
| gabbah | ifireball but now the ubuntu partition has been moved by me. so grub cant find it and boot it | 23:47 |
| Slart | vishal: there might be another way but I do it in the ccsm | 23:47 |
| Odd-rationale | vishal: Are you using compiz? | 23:48 |
| Slart | !ccsm | 23:48 |
| ubotu | 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 | 23:48 |
| Retro` | there's no god | 23:48 |
| fivetwentysix | What are the commands for starting/stopping X? | 23:48 |
| Retro` | what's the best CD ripping software for linux? | 23:48 |
| ifireball | gabbah: hmm... can you get up to the grub menu? | 23:48 |
| vishal | Slart: Odd-rationale: Yeah im using Compiz-Fusion, | 23:48 |
| Odd-rationale | vishal: Do you have ccsm installed? | 23:48 |
| corisco | I'm running 7.10 and I want to change my default keyboard language from english to portuguese. I assume I would have to edit xorg.conf. Is this correct? If it is then where is that file locate? | 23:48 |
| ifireball | suncydu: great to hear that | 23:49 |
| vishal | Odd-rationale: I think so, it that just the setting page? | 23:49 |
| suncydu | ifireball: thanks again... | 23:49 |
| gabbah | ifireball no menu. it just says grub loading stage1.5 grub loading please wait... error 17 | 23:49 |
| vishal | Slart: Odd-rationale: yeah im on ccsm | 23:49 |
| mrdinkles | Attempting to use Metacity as my Windows Manager-- How can i make this change permanent, without putting metactiy --replace each time? | 23:49 |
| gabbah | ifireball error 17 is it cant find the partition, which is correct | 23:49 |
| adamonline46 | Which file was it where I add ethernet devices as mac addresses, something like 'eth0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx' | 23:49 |
| ifireball | gabbah: I feared so... this is a bitch to fix... | 23:49 |
| Slart | vishal: then the first menu in ccsm.. general or soemthing | 23:50 |
| Odd-rationale | vishal: Click on general settings | 23:50 |
| Retro` | what's the best CD ripping software for linux? | 23:50 |
| gabbah | ifireball hmm but cant i just edit some file? | 23:50 |
| Odd-rationale | *options | 23:50 |
| Odd-rationale | vishal: Then go to the desktop size tab. | 23:50 |
| Slart | Retro`: sound juicer is one.. don't know if it's the best | 23:50 |
| gabbah | ifireball where is the grub.. stuff located? | 23:50 |
| vishal | Odd-rationale: bahh i missed it lol, wasnt expecting it to have sliders | 23:51 |
| ifireball | gabbah: no its a matter of rewriting grub to the MBR, the last time I tried that I got it wrong, my grub is rusty... | 23:51 |
| corisco | cd paranoia coupled with grip is good | 23:51 |
| Odd-rationale | vishal: This is the confusion part. If you want to have a cube set H to 4, V to 1 and #D to 1. | 23:51 |
| vishal | Odd-rationale: this is weried, i have 4 hor, 1 vert but only 1 vertical desktop | 23:51 |
| MacTheMad | can someone tell me how to open a root terminal (not sudo) & how to get back again when I'm done editing? | 23:51 |
| vishal | Odd-rationale: the cube is no longer enough for me lol | 23:51 |
| corisco | Mac, what for? You can do anything with sudo | 23:51 |
| ifireball | gabbah: grub actually have 3 components: stage 1 on the MBR, stage 1,5 and stage 2 in /boot | 23:51 |
| Odd-rationale | vishal: It works best to keep the V and # desk to 1 | 23:52 |
| corisco | Stick with sudo. It's good for ya :) | 23:52 |
| vishal | Odd-rationale: yeah just tired increasing those but made no difference to the cude | 23:52 |
| druidbloke | sometimes u need to stay as root for a while, u can type sudo -su | 23:52 |
| vishal | cube** | 23:52 |
| Odd-rationale | vishal: You can change the H to up to 32. | 23:52 |
| MacTheMad | corisco: really, I'm reading this page on internet connection sharing and it says to open a root terminal, not sudo | 23:52 |
| gabbah | ifireball well ok if it's that much trouble... i guess i'll just reinstall everything then.. i have the moste improtant stuff backed up anyway | 23:52 |
| Slart | corisco: actually you can't.. I can't change for example /proc/ssy/net/ipv4/ip_forward by using sudo.. using a root shell I can.. weird | 23:53 |
| vishal | Odd-rationale: awesome, anyway of putting a desktop as lids? | 23:53 |
| akos | Hello! Is there a way to make NetworkManager to connect only to specific networks (or not connect to some specific networks), because my router keeps failing for some reason sometimes, and then it tries to connect to another network, and afterward I can't get it to connect to my own network without a full system reboot | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | vishal: Nope. You can put cube cpas though. | 23:53 |
| goldphish | So I'm trying to compile a module for my running kernel based on the headers package. I type 'make modules' and get this... "No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.c'" Any ideas? | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | *caps | 23:53 |
| crush_groove | . | 23:53 |
| ifireball | gabbah: it just not something I feel capable of helping with over IRC, its a couple of grub commands, but it has to be the right ones... | 23:53 |
| adamonline46 | How do I determine the mac address of my ethernet card? | 23:53 |
| Slart | adamonline46: ifconfig | 23:54 |
| MacTheMad | slart: perhaps you could tell me how I open a root terminal & return to x when I'm finished? | 23:54 |
| markofvero | does Ubuntu's Gnome have a central way of managing SSL root certs like OS X keychain or KDE kssl? Is there a central root cert repository used by apps like Epiphany, Gajim, etc.? | 23:54 |
| vishal | Odd-rationale: Hmm, would have been nice to have the desktops there instead of a colour/image | 23:54 |
| Odd-rationale | vishal: Sorry :( | 23:54 |
| gabbah | ifireball alright.. thanks man :) | 23:54 |
| corisco | brb | 23:54 |
| Slart | MacTheMad: I advice against it.. but if you really want it.. (and yes, we'll laugh at you if you break anything ;).. sudo -i gives you a root shell.. type "exit" to exit | 23:54 |
| adamonline46 | Slart: It's not isntalled yet; I only see the device in lspci; but not in ifconfig. That's why I'm trying to determine the MAC addy, so I can add it to /etc/iftab 8) | 23:54 |
| akos | Hello! Is there a way to make NetworkManager (or suggest an alternetive) to connect only to specific networks (or not connect to some specific networks)? | 23:55 |
| MacTheMad | slart: ty & I bet I don't break anything | 23:55 |
| Odd-rationale | akos: You can do a manual conf. | 23:55 |
| Slart | adamonline46: oh.. you could take a physical look at the card.. sometimes it's printed on them | 23:55 |
| PointyThingsHurt | anyone know anything about ubuntu and gigabit networks? | 23:55 |
| dorkface | akos: I prefer the command line way of doing it: iwconfig | 23:55 |
| Slart | MacTheMad: hehe.. no worries.. just be careful | 23:55 |
| vishal | Odd-rationale: No worries, thanks for the help though | 23:55 |
| adamonline46 | Slart: Alright. I know it is, actually, I shoulda written it down beforehand... heheh... thanks :) | 23:55 |
| MacTheMad | slart: will do | 23:55 |
| Odd-rationale | vishal: OK np | 23:55 |
| Retro` | what's a good CD ripping software for linux? | 23:56 |
| akos | Odd-rationale, I am using multiple networks, and would like to automate the stuff | 23:56 |
| unbeatabl | how can i have my own, ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com ?. | 23:56 |
| akos | multiple networks meaning in school at home, at office... | 23:56 |
| Slart | Retro`: besides sound juicer and grip and paranoid? | 23:56 |
| Retro` | paranoid? | 23:56 |
| Retro` | hmmm | 23:56 |
| Odd-rationale | akos: OK. dorkface probably has the better solution | 23:56 |
| Slart | Retro`: I think it was mentioned by someone else.. | 23:56 |
| Retro` | where can i get paranoid? | 23:56 |
| Retro` | there's no paranoid in ubuntu repos | 23:57 |
| earthling | is it possible to use a linux machine with single ethernet card to act as router using virtual ip addresses. if so please suggest some good references | 23:57 |
| akos | dorkface, can u get it to connect to more than one network? meaning if network1 is reachable, then connect to it, if it comes unavailable, look if network2 or network3 is available? | 23:57 |
| Slart | Retro`: might have been paranoia | 23:58 |
| Retro` | a :) | 23:58 |
| dorkface | akos: one could write a script for it, but it might get a bit deep in its complexity | 23:58 |
| ifireball | how is "nautilus-actions" different from adding stuff to "open with" ? | 23:58 |
| akos | yeah.... that's what I was thinking | 23:58 |
| Retro` | Slart, nope | 23:58 |
| Retro` | Slart, no paranoia either | 23:58 |
| PointyThingsHurt | no ones knows about ubuntu and gigabit networks? | 23:59 |
