| Yabber | ok chaps, I think this might be a bug. I am testing various linux distros open-iscsi initiator to an iscsi target, if I install the open-iscsi package in gutsy, all works, but even though I discover a target it never connects to the target. On further investigation I have noticed that even if I delete the iscsi.conf file that ubuntu is meant to be using it makes no difference and ubuntu does not even complain the file is missing... | 00:22 |
| Yabber | ..IE I think there is a init.d script error.......not using any of the settings in iscsi.conf....any ideas? | 00:22 |
| erUSUL | |DuReX|: sorry i dunno what may be wrong.... | 00:22 |
| lockd | Yabber: I had a minor problem like that, totally ignoring the apt.conf | 00:23 |
| kitche | Yabber: the iscsi.conf might be there for settings but doesn't mean it needs to be used but last tiem I knew iscsi is tricky on *nix anyways but would file a report anyhow | 00:23 |
| NoirFluo | where do I activate Compize Fusion ? | 00:23 |
| lockd | NoirFluo: install compiz-fusion | 00:23 |
| NoirFluo | it is installed | 00:24 |
| |DuReX| | erUSUL: it seems like it doesn't create uuid symlinks for dmraid devices | 00:24 |
| tehcheez | @NoirFluo: compiz --replace ccsm | 00:24 |
| kitche | NoirFluo: it's enabled by default actually if you use a restricted driver | 00:24 |
| NoirFluo | TehBrandon, thanks | 00:24 |
| lockd | NoirFluo: also add compiz to your session or default session if you don't use a restricted driver | 00:25 |
| lockd | btw, is there a way to have 2 separate xubuntu menus? One is in a chroot jail of another distro, but my home directory is bound into the chroot | 00:25 |
| rkj | Ace2016: I've been through all that and have got it to be pretty close, I should think - have Device, Monitor, screen and serverLayout sections defined in xorg.conf - managed to crash X several times but it's not crashing now - but still not working either | 00:26 |
| lockd | everything besides that is working perfectly | 00:26 |
| Ace2016 | chroot gail? that sounds interesting, how do i do that? | 00:26 |
| liquidengineer | hello | 00:26 |
| Ace2016 | Hi | 00:26 |
| RazzoRz | hey folks | 00:27 |
| liquidengineer | When will the livecd installer ask if I would like to install grub? I wanna do this right this time. :D | 00:27 |
| kitche | Ace2016: gail do you mean jail chroot is what you want there is no such thing really as jails in Linux | 00:27 |
| Ace2016 | yea jail | 00:27 |
| Yabber | kitche, thanks, when you say tricky on *nix do you mean buggy | 00:28 |
| lockd | what's missing in Linux jails? | 00:28 |
| tehcheez | Windows :) | 00:28 |
| Ace2016 | prison guards | 00:28 |
| kitche | Yabber: yeah needs a lot of work | 00:28 |
| kitche | lockd: it's not the same as a jail | 00:28 |
| RazzoRz | can someone explain to me how one uploads a video of my desktop ( usieng ) sessions recorder.... it records it as a OGG file format... can one conver that to a avi or mgeg??? | 00:28 |
| Ace2016 | i mean you don't have any outbout firewalls to block certain apps | 00:28 |
| mige0 | asdff | 00:28 |
| lockd | kitche: so in BSD you don't have to forward the /dev and all that/ | 00:28 |
| __mikem | Linux Jails are where microsoft sends their employees if they are caught running linux | 00:28 |
| __mikem | :) | 00:28 |
| kitche | lockd: you can mount /dev and other things inside the jail | 00:29 |
| lockd | kitche: or "bind" | 00:29 |
| tehcheez | Windows should be in Linux gaol :) | 00:29 |
| Ktravaglini | Hey, my friend is a rather new linux user, hence ubuntu, and is having trouble with playing .wmv files, I tried to get him tell me his hardware configurations but it didnt work...Any ideas? | 00:29 |
| lordmorgoth | hey guys. my totem (even mplayer) are running videos with nothing to display, only the sound. any idea how to solve this ? | 00:29 |
| Ace2016 | lockd: if you don't have /dev how do you mount stuff? or do dd if=/dev/ ... | 00:29 |
| user5435 | ktravaglini, try vlc | 00:29 |
| user5435 | vlc plays almost anything | 00:29 |
| tehcheez | lordmorgoth, do you have the required codecs? | 00:29 |
| user5435 | sudo apt-get install vlc | 00:30 |
| Ktravaglini | Thanks. | 00:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !wmv > Ktravaglini | 00:30 |
| BehiiMehii | user5435 that didn't work | 00:30 |
| nickrud | Ktravaglini, and remember that if the wmv is drm protected, it won't play on ubuntu | 00:30 |
| kitche | lockd: but a jail is really a whole another system why a chroot is a "half" system since it doesn't have it's own ip address | 00:30 |
| user5435 | what didn't work? | 00:30 |
| kitche | lockd: among some other things | 00:30 |
| Ktravaglini | Thanks Jack_Sparrow?!? | 00:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 00:30 |
| gauda | any chance to get this working without key-question? ssh root@host.de -i .ssh/host.ppk | 00:30 |

| LeviathNL | <LeviathNL> How do I link to a program so it interprets relative paths correctly? anybody? | 00:31 |
| kitche | Yabber: it is but I just know only professionals that build systems themselves got it working really haven't seen a user get one up and running so far | 00:32 |
| lordmorgoth | anyone ??? | 00:32 |
| bruenig | LeviathNL, are you talking about scripting? | 00:32 |
| kitche | Yabber: might want to do some searches though | 00:32 |
| nickrud | lordmorgoth, you running compiz? | 00:32 |
| bobgill | if I want to remote desktop to a friend's windows xp box and he uses a router, can I just enter his IP to get in ? | 00:32 |
| lordmorgoth | nickrud, yeah i though of it, know how to fix it ? | 00:32 |
| rkj | I need help configuring a second monitor - can somebody help? | 00:33 |
| Yabber | kitche, I am not building the target, I am using a san/nas for that, just trying to get a client initiator to connect to the target, its just not connecting under ubuntu..under centos, and redhat works like a dream! | 00:33 |
| nickrud | lordmorgoth, the xv output doesn't work well with compiz, I've been able to get x11 to work. | 00:33 |
| tehcheez | bobgill: Are you connected to that router? | 00:33 |
| LeviathNL | bruenig, I want to make a symlink to a program, but if I do ln /path/to/program and execute the link i get errors in the program i can't find files (using relative paths it seems) | 00:34 |
| bobgill | tehcheez: NO | 00:34 |
| bobgill | oh sorry caps | 00:34 |
| bobgill | lol | 00:34 |
| RazzoRz | can someone explain to me how one uploads a video of my desktop ( usieng ) sessions recorder.... it records it as a OGG file format... can one conver that to a avi or mgeg??? | 00:34 |
| bobgill | mp o | 00:34 |
| bobgill | no i'm not | 00:34 |
| lordmorgoth | nickrud, xv ? i didn't understood what u mean | 00:34 |
| nn-away | Ok I fixed that problem; Can some one please help me with the content now; Original Message : Im trying to make linuxmain.net into linux's main sosial networking site. But I need some help whith the content that will eventually attaract the users that will make it run. Im really Trying to get it running quick as possable but there are a trillian settings I need a assistants to help and point out what needs fixing and add content like pages howto links to | 00:34 |
| bruenig | LeviathNL, you are trying to link what to what | 00:34 |
| tehcheez | bobgill: Then no. | 00:34 |
| nickrud | lordmorgoth, there're different outputs that display on the screen. Try mplayer -vo x11 <file> , see if you can see it | 00:35 |
| bobgill | tehcheez: no possible way ? | 00:35 |
| LeviathNL | a game called teewars i copied to /usr/local/share/games/teewars, now I want to make a link in /usr/local/bin | 00:35 |
| TheEagle | should i learn how to program before learning any languages, or should i just get stuck in learning a language? | 00:35 |
| bruenig | LeviathNL, ln -s /usr/local/share/games/teewars /usr/local/bin/teewars | 00:35 |
| nickrud | TheEagle, unless you learn a language, you won't learn to code. pseudocode only gets you so far | 00:36 |
| tinin | Can I download a 4.7GB torrent file to a FAT32 partition? | 00:36 |
| nickrud | tinin, no | 00:36 |
| TheEagle | so what should i learn first in the way of a programming language? | 00:37 |
| tinin | any solution to this? | 00:37 |
| dcesiel_ | Hey guys I'm having a problem connecting to internet | 00:37 |
| batis610 | Need to encode my dvd(contains serie episodes) to an avi with multiple audio tracks and subtitles..... how? | 00:37 |
| nickrud | TheEagle, haven't we had this conversation before :) | 00:37 |
| bruenig | TheEagle, learn bash, that will get you through simple concepts like if, while, for, switch/case, etc. | 00:37 |
| heatmzzr | anyone know how to get my HP x4270 to work with ubuntu? | 00:37 |
| dcesiel_ | Could someone help me out I'm not sure what to do I got a new router and now nothing works | 00:37 |
| dcesiel_ | I just can't connect | 00:37 |
| nickrud | TheEagle, bash would be good, you'd also get stuff you can use right now | 00:37 |
| TheEagle | yes, nickrud, i ask every day to see if the same reccomendations appear - so don't repeat yours at the moment | 00:37 |
| lordmorgoth | nickrud, great it works from the comand line, anyway to fix it permanently ? | 00:37 |
| * nickrud feels hurt | 00:37 | |
| bruenig | getting stuff you can use has always been necessary to keep me interested | 00:37 |
| tehcheez | bobgill: Unless he/she/it has forwarded ports, no. | 00:38 |
| LeviathNL | bruenig, same error, teewars is an executable in a folder in .../games/, and it uses files from that folder which it can't reach it seems | 00:38 |
| nickrud | lordmorgoth, add vo=x11 to ~/.mplayer/config . The problem with x11 is it won't scale up. | 00:38 |
| LeviathNL | [4776e815][game/png]: failed to open file. filename='data/big_font.png' etc | 00:38 |
| bruenig | learning how to conver fahrenheit to celsius in every language only gets you so far before you get disinterested | 00:38 |
| TheEagle | bash is strictly linux isnt it? | 00:38 |
| bruenig | TheEagle, no | 00:38 |
| TheEagle | well | 00:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TheEagle: This isnt the place to ask that question in the first place . .. Much less every day | 00:38 |
| lordmorgoth | nickrud, thanks m8 ! | 00:38 |
| lockd | TheEagle: Ruby is a good introductory programming language | 00:39 |
| bruenig | LeviathNL, it should be able to, can you execute the binary directly | 00:39 |
| nickrud | lordmorgoth, np | 00:39 |
| * TheEagle is p*ssed off with such strict rules in irc channels | 00:39 | |
| Jack_Sparrow | TheEagle: Enough with the comment messages too.. If you dont like the rules there are other channels | 00:40 |
| dcesiel_ | Hey guys I'm connected through ethernet I got a new router and now I can no longer get online, but the router says I am connected. Does anyone know what could be going wrong? | 00:40 |
| LeviathNL | bruenig, if I cd to /usr/local/share/games/teewars and do ./teewars it runs correctly | 00:40 |
| matkix | Does anyone here know of any remote os installation / backup tool? I've found one, but its just in a really early beta stage. Anyone know of a good system to do this? | 00:40 |
| * TheEagle doesn't see what harm it does posting a message in the wrong place | 00:40 | |
| Lagginator | when i turn on my computer, it goes to some grub command line thing | 00:40 |
| lockd | matkix: rsync | 00:41 |
| matkix | Rsync can install an os? | 00:41 |
| nickrud | Lagginator, that's the boot loader, it loads the various os's you have on your machine | 00:41 |
| bruenig | LeviathNL, oh I see, well what I would do is write a short bash script and put it in /usr/local/bin, have that bash script cd into the directory and run ./teewars | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TheEagle: With 1200 uses here for one purpose. We do not need your comments and interruptions | 00:41 |
| lockd | matkix: it can back it up | 00:42 |
| Lagginator | nickrud, I don't know what to do, it prompts for a command | 00:42 |
| nickrud | Lagginator, oh. You don't get a list of possible os's to load in a box? | 00:42 |
| Lagginator | nickrud: no, it just says something abotu minimal bash liek editing supported and grub> | 00:42 |
| * TheEagle thinks that it is just the pirate who doesn't need my comments and interruptions as it is just him that is complaining (and there is 1162 users not 1200 hehe ) | 00:43 | |
| nickrud | Lagginator, you need a grub expert. Ask for help, saying your install is dropping you to the grub command line, and doesn't boot ubunut | 00:43 |
| Lagginator | cool, I screwed up my comp! | 00:43 |
| user5435 | awesome | 00:43 |
| * nickrud thinks Jack_Sparrow is being kind to TheEagle | 00:43 | |
| * TheEagle is going to shut up before i do something stupid and start a massive argument | 00:44 | |

I find using rdesktop distracting to use in a window, and would like it full screen. my problem is this: toggle full screen hotkey (ctl + alt + enter) is already used by VMware player, so I cannot toggle rdesktop. In addition, rdestop in fullscreen does not contain itself to one gnome workspace, so I have no way to exit rdesko | 01:17 |

| jvargas | but the modules is not installed | 01:24 |
| wols_ | justin_: ubotu just gave you some help. read the url | 01:24 |
| jvargas | although apt-get install libapache2-mod-mono works | 01:24 |
| justin_ | ok thanks | 01:24 |
| wols_ | huff3r: and learn. it's good to know | 01:24 |
| lukasz | You guys should update add/remove cause I installed Amarok or Exaile from there and it crashed | 01:25 |
| jvargas | there is no mod_mono module in /etc/apache2/mods-available | 01:25 |
| wy | Anyone has encountered sound problem with snd_hda_intel? My AD198x doesn't work | 01:25 |
| lukasz | I downloaded the new version of Exaile and it is fine :) | 01:25 |
| wols_ | jvargas: sudo a2enmod <modulename> then restart apache2 | 01:25 |
| lukasz | Everything else works fine except my notebook webcam waaaaaaaa | 01:26 |
| jvargas | wols_: there is no mono in a2enmod listing of modules | 01:26 |
| wols_ | jvargas: dpkg -L the nstalled package then | 01:26 |
| aeGIs | http://youtube.com/watch?v=2T-iJKwskH4 | 01:26 |
| jvargas | it removed it by accident, and then tried reinstalling, and now it does not install it | 01:26 |
| wols_ | jvargas: check what files/modules there are in there | 01:26 |
| lukasz | I did gstreamer-properties and didn't help waaaaaaaa | 01:26 |
| wols_ | jvargas: purge it and reinstall is the other option | 01:27 |
| jvargas | ok | 01:27 |
| osmosis | how do I get ride of the apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed when I do sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 01:27 |
| soulrider | !adeptfix | 01:27 |

| jvargas | wols_: i just tried, uninstalled the module, but dpkg -L still says the module is installed in /etc/apache2/mods-available/, which is not true | 01:29 |
| lukasz | I got alsa mixer :) | 01:29 |
| jvargas | wols_: is there a way to force the removal of those file entries? | 01:29 |
| Lagginator | WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH UBUNTU? | 01:29 |
| Lagginator | it's inconsistant for me | 01:29 |
| Lagginator | it seems to only do things after I've tried a few times... | 01:30 |
| lukasz | Ubuntu works for me :p | 01:30 |
| tehcheez | UNIX is hard. Let's go shopping! | 01:30 |
| wols_ | jvargas: dpkg -l |grep mono. pastebin it | 01:30 |
| lukasz | I got aac+ working | 01:30 |
| bio | Lagginator, as opposed to what? | 01:31 |
| Lagginator | ;_; Ubuntu decided it wouldn't show the boot menu the first time i restarted it, so i started messign around with stuff | 01:31 |
| lukasz | get new version of exaile | 01:31 |
| lukasz | There are older version of add/remove which do not work :( | 01:31 |
| Lagginator | then when i messed around with stuff, I somehow made it boot to the grub command line | 01:31 |
| * bio downloading the new version of sage | 01:31 | |
| reaper-x | could someone please tell me how to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server on gutsy 7.10 server... it isn't in snyaptic list even with the restricted repositories selected | 01:31 |
| Lagginator | then i tried using various commands i found in help pages, but they didnt work | 01:32 |

| uzerzero | !John | 01:32 |
| bio | Lagginator, Alex, calm down | 01:32 |
| wols_ | Lagginator: randomly using commands you "just found" is simply, well I won't say anything or I get another !language | 01:32 |

| reaper-x | could someone please tell me how to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server on gutsy 7.10 server... it isn't in snyaptic list even with the restricted repositories selected | 01:33 |
| arve | hello, anybody her running 7.10? | 01:33 |
| lukasz | I am | 01:33 |
| arve | on a laptop? | 01:33 |
| wols_ | jvargas: I told you to purge them. why didn't you do it? | 01:33 |
| lukasz | yeah | 01:33 |
| lukasz | USB | 01:33 |
| arve | okei, have u got hibernation up and working? | 01:33 |
| lukasz | no sry arve :( | 01:33 |
| bio | ∗± ∗ κlpt θ | 01:33 |

| HighLife | ok guys I can connect to the internet through my vmware server but not through the ubuntu host. Can anyone help me? | 01:34 |
| Lagginator | wols: the commands I found worked, but not the first time I tried them. | 01:34 |
| wols_ | HighLife: what kind of internet connection? | 01:34 |
| jvargas | wols_: ok, brb | 01:34 |
| HighLife | ethernet | 01:34 |
| arve | neither suspend nor hibernate works here :-( | 01:34 |
| HighLife | eth0 | 01:34 |
| wols_ | Lagginator: you can complain a lot of things in linux but not that it's not consistent | 01:34 |
| lukasz | I tried hibernating arve and then it wouldn't start up maybe its cause of that it is External USB | 01:34 |
| wols_ | HighLife: what network chip? dsl, pppoe, dhcp to a router? what? | 01:34 |
| reaper-x | could someone please tell me how to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server on gutsy 7.10 server... it isn't in snyaptic list even with the restricted repositories selected | 01:35 |
| lukasz | thats why harbernation won't work since on Ubuntu is on USB | 01:35 |
| arve | same thing happened to me, I googled some newgroups and found that many others out there have the same problem, but noone have the solution to it.. | 01:35 |
| jvargas | wols_: purged and reinstalled, thanks a lot wols_ | 01:35 |
| wols_ | reaper-x: pastebin your sources.list | 01:35 |
| wols_ | jvargas: does it work now? | 01:35 |
| lukasz | hmm wierd problem arve isn't it hehe :p | 01:35 |
| arve | If I do suspend, the screen turns black and calms down, but I can't get it back again.. | 01:35 |
| HighLife | wols_: its integrated on my biostar board | 01:35 |
| arve | same thing with hibernation | 01:35 |
| lukasz | same here arve :p | 01:35 |
| wols_ | HighLife: that's not answer to my question | 01:35 |
| HighLife | I was using roaming mode, whatever that is | 01:35 |
| arve | yes lukasz, | 01:35 |
| jvargas | wols_: yep, it seems the apt-get's purge does not purge as 'dpkg --purge'... | 01:36 |
| arve | but it's quite essential for a laptop to have such things | 01:36 |
| HighLife | wols_ does that help? | 01:36 |
| lukasz | Yes it is arve | 01:36 |
| wols_ | jvargas: it does | 01:36 |
| HighLife | I guess I'm not ttly sure | 01:36 |
| arve | hopefully the ubuntu guys can get it working | 01:36 |
| reaper-x | !pastebin | 01:36 |
| larson9999 | i'll treat hibernation like i used to treat midi joysticks: wait until usb models come out:) | 01:36 |
| lukasz | Yup hopefully :) | 01:36 |
| EADG_ | Evening all. What file would I edit to NOT have GDM start at boot in 7.10? I want to stay in CLI. | 01:36 |
| wols_ | HighLife: lcpci in pastebin. and answer the other questions too | 01:36 |
| reaper-x | ! pastebin | 01:36 |
| 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) | 01:36 |
| arve | otherwise it's a great system | 01:36 |
| MikeH | what else could be running a screensaver other than gnome-screensaver? I've killed gnome-screensaver after the config didn't seem to be working, but I'm still getting a screensaver come up? | 01:36 |
| lukasz | yes it is easy as 1,2,3 :) | 01:36 |
| c0nka16 | hello could someone help | 01:36 |

| ardchoille | c0nka16: Help with what? | 01:37 |
| wols_ | ardchoille: with teaching how to ask proper questions on irc obviously | 01:37 |
| arve | I've been trying mandrake and mandriva for 5-6 years, and everytime it screws up my harddrive. but Ubuntu seems rock steady | 01:37 |
| wols_ | ardchoille: lesson one: never ask if someone can help you, just state your problem instead | 01:37 |
| c0nka16 | i installed ubuntu without any problems and when it reboots the loading screen comes up then it just goes on to a black screen ?¿ | 01:37 |

| lukasz | yeah Mandriva and mandrake are bad they screw it up for me 2 | 01:38 |
| HighLife | command not found | 01:38 |

| reaper-x | wols: how do I copy & paste synaptic list? | 01:38 |
| arve | hehe, even tried suse but I don't do german language or german thinking :-) | 01:38 |
| ardchoille | pteague: iirc, those ar enow part of the nvidia driver itself | 01:38 |
| wols_ | reaper-x: depends where you see it | 01:38 |
| c0nka16 | ?? | 01:39 |
| ardchoille | pteague: Part of the nvidia driver package | 01:39 |
| pteague | ardchoille> ah, ok... maybe it just didn't pick up on the fact that i had dual monitors on my first install | 01:39 |
| wols_ | c0nka16: the bootmenu comes and after that it'S just blank? | 01:39 |
| arve | btw, do u know if shockwave will be released for ubuntu soon? | 01:39 |
| c0nka16 | yeah | 01:39 |
| c0nka16 | it comes up loading screen and then just blank | 01:39 |
| reaper-x | wols: when I open synaptic I see it but how to I highlite all the choices to copy & paste? | 01:39 |
| wols_ | c0nka16: you will need to edit your menu.lst to see where it hangs. remove the "quiet" in the "kernel" lines | 01:40 |
| pteague | ardchoille> do you know if it's supposed to add an item to the menu? | 01:40 |
| c0nka16 | ok ill have a look | 01:40 |
| wols_ | reaper-x: left mouse button and drag to select stuff | 01:40 |
| lukasz | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4037620#post4037620 | 01:40 |

| MikeH | hrm | 01:40 |

| ardchoille | pteague: And I only installed nvidia-glx | 01:41 |
| MikeH | Apparently xscreensaver is the default screensaver under ubuntu? yet my config is for gnome-screensaver? How is xscreensaver configurable | 01:41 |
| Ashkore | help, i registered the name TheEagle on FreeNode, I've just come out of windows and rebooted into ubunutu, and now it's saying "TheEagle is already in use" | 01:41 |

| lukasz | First follow instructions from Ubuntu then use alternate graphics instasller | 01:45 |

| tritium | v507: for alt-tab to work, you have to have at least 2 windows open | 01:55 |
| Leggazoid | dfgas: If you already have windows, try xubuntu live cd. If you like what it does you can get it to dual boot windows if you have enough free hard drive space. | 01:55 |
| lukasz | Linux is the best :) | 01:55 |
| Brady | yeah | 01:55 |

| RedHeron | Okay... just had an interesting issue... and a BIG puzzle. Computer locked, as in the mouse no longer moved, and there was no sign of disk activity, and this continued for 2 minutes. There was no core dump. There was a data file that was corrupted beyond repair, and now I'm working on trying to trace down what happened (preferably without actually locking the system again). | 02:20 |
| RedHeron | Any help? | 02:20 |

| RealGateHead | has anyone successfully upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10? If so can you help me? | 02:47 |
| Administrator_ | dorthnagoth, you can download easyrecovery | 02:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | RealGateHead: state your problem | 02:47 |
| ketrox | RealGateHead, what's the issue ? | 02:47 |
| TigranG | ketrox: I said before that I loaded a keyboard profile that was already there - but its a different model than my computer (same manufacture tho) | 02:47 |
| relic | nuGzthk: start synaptic package manager | 02:47 |
| nuGzthk | k | 02:47 |
| demonspork | nuGzthk, yes you will have the nvidia-settings | 02:47 |
| ramza3 | RealGateHead, it took me one click. Go to upgrade manager and select upgrade distor | 02:47 |
| jack_ | I created a second user. How do I copy the settings and setup for that user to the new user | 02:47 |
| Boohbah | dorthnagoth: i had my /home from my gentoo install on a separate partition and the ubuntu install didn't do anything to it | 02:47 |
| stephans | does anyone know if there is a decent sidebar for linux? | 02:48 |
| RealGateHead | I did what the wiki said by upgrading and it does not show that there is an upgrade available | 02:48 |
| relic | RealGateHead: sudo do-release-upgrade ? | 02:48 |
| RealGateHead | i just tried that | 02:48 |
| KiD_ChAoS | why can't i format an unallocated flash-drive to ntfs using gparted? | 02:48 |
| dorthnagoth | Well, there's the problem ... | 02:48 |
| RealGateHead | jay@jay-laptop:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade | 02:48 |
| RealGateHead | Checking for a new ubuntu release | 02:48 |
| RealGateHead | No new release found | 02:48 |
| ketrox | TigranG, you shoould create your own with keytouch-editor and the load it wiht keytouch | 02:48 |
| dorthnagoth | It, er, was an ubuntu-only installation. | 02:48 |
| byonix | my firefox web browser won't connect to the internet (won't browse) the message is "the proxy server is refusing connections" i installed epiphany web browser still the same, when i go to edit > preferences > advance > network > settings > connections settings, i could not choose "the configure proxies to the internet", help me out dude | 02:48 |
| c0nka16 | ????????? | 02:48 |
| relic | KiD_ChAoS: i dont think flash drives are ntfs-capable | 02:48 |
| c0nka16 | anyone | 02:49 |
| dorthnagoth | I had to reinstall because, well, I had more than a few irrecoverable errors going on. | 02:49 |
| relic | KiD_ChAoS: how big is it | 02:49 |
| Administrator_ | dorthnagoth, did you know www.baidu.com try to use it search easyrecovery | 02:49 |
| dorthnagoth | The installation didn't ask for any importing re: files, and, er, it sort of ... overwrote everything. | 02:49 |
| TigranG | ketrox: Ive tried that too, and I've tried all the events listed, when I press the play/stop prev next button it doesn't recognize it | 02:49 |
| RealGateHead | i would uninstall 7.04 and start fresh with 7.10 but I barely got this one up and running | 02:49 |
| relic | RealGateHead: you got the updates installed before you tried do-release-upgrade? | 02:49 |
| RealGateHead | as far as i know | 02:50 |
| dorthnagoth | Photorec's found about 2000 of roughly 10000 music samples I had for video editing, and most of the .txt files from the old install ... | 02:50 |
| RealGateHead | maybe i am missing a step | 02:50 |
| byonix | my firefox web browser won't connect to the internet (won't browse) the message is "the proxy server is refusing connections" i installed epiphany web browser still the same, when i go to edit > preferences > advance > network > settings > connections settings, i could not choose "the configure proxies to the internet", help me out dude | 02:50 |
| dorthnagoth | But, er, there's a LOT of stuff I wanted to keep. | 02:50 |
| relic | yeah you gotta be updated before you do release upgrade | 02:50 |
| c0nka16 | please | 02:50 |
| RealGateHead | how do i make sure i did that | 02:50 |
| tritium | dorthnagoth: what are you talking about? The installer doesn't overwrite existing partitions unless you let it. | 02:50 |
| KiD_ChAoS | relic, yes they are, i don't mean compact flash.... im talking about a jump drive | 02:50 |
| Administrator_ | dorthnagoth, did you see what i said | 02:50 |
| ketrox | TigranG, try it again because there is no logical way that it appears in dmesg and not in keytouch | 02:50 |
| deadlock | Is there a task manager for linux | 02:50 |
| TigranG | ketrox: Ok | 02:50 |
| kittentamer | Hi, I'm having trouble with a fresh install of the newest Ubuntu on a computer with no prior OS. The CD is asking for a password before it will let me even start to install. | 02:50 |
| ketrox | kittentamer, try ubuntu ubuntu | 02:51 |
| Administrator_ | kittentamer, usually root | 02:51 |
| relic | KiD_ChAoS: ok. i havent messed with gparted enough.. it may be wise to do that under xp instead. | 02:51 |
| byonix | somebody tell me how to solve the problem, please | 02:51 |
| l21logan99 | Boohbah:i tried ipconfig again and i do have an IP address | 02:51 |
| dorthnagoth | Tritium, in the past the installer GUI's had a prompt asking if there were any files that the user wanted to move over. | 02:51 |
| tritium | deadlock: add the system monitor applet to one of your panels | 02:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | kittentamer: are you sure thats an ubuntu cd?... never ehard that one | 02:51 |
| kittentamer | Just type in root, no password? | 02:51 |
| KiD_ChAoS | relic screw that | 02:51 |
| RealGateHead | relic, it says my system is up to date | 02:51 |
| kittentamer | I downloaded it straight from the site. | 02:51 |
| justin_ | ok how do i install gparted? | 02:52 |
| tritium | kittentamer: there is no password required. What screen are you at? | 02:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | justin_: sudo apt-get install gparted | 02:52 |
| relic | RealGateHead: well if youre barely running, just go ahead and fresh install of 7.10 | 02:52 |
| justin_ | that is so much easier than wat i was doing | 02:52 |
| kittentamer | It looks like a command prompt | 02:52 |
| tritium | justin_: you can also install it from the gui (synaptic) | 02:52 |
| dorthnagoth | In retrospect it didn't do it this time; it wasn't until I'd walked back to the computer and the partitioning was DONE that I realized I hadn't imported or back up many files (I couldn't, mind). | 02:52 |
| RealGateHead | i would but I am not sure i am skilled enough to do it...lol | 02:52 |
| relic | its pretty easy | 02:52 |
| Boohbah | l21logan99: ok, how bout resolv.conf? does it list a namserver? | 02:52 |
| relic | you got just one drive right? | 02:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | justin_: but gparted is fairly wonky in gutsy... works great in feisty... if its something you absolutely need and cant get it to work in Gutsy,l google "Gparted Live CD".. thats what I use.. | 02:53 |
| tritium | kittentamer: which CD are you using? Alternate installer? | 02:53 |
| l21logan99 | yes | 02:53 |
| RealGateHead | come to my house and hook a brother up...lol | 02:53 |
| etfb | Here's an odd MySQL/PHP4 bug. I can mysql_connect() to '127.0.0.1', but not to 'localhost'. WTF? It behaves as if the mysql server isn't even running if I try localhost. Google has no clue. Any guesses as to why? | 02:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | justin_: so what *were* you trying?... compiling source code?..lol | 02:53 |
| eightbit | hello | 02:53 |
| KiD_ChAoS | is gparted able to create an ntfs partition? | 02:53 |

| Enselic | What is it that restarts gnome-panel as soon as I pkill it? | 02:53 |
| relic | etfb: #mysql | 02:53 |
| relic | KiD_ChAoS: no | 02:53 |
| steve36 | is anyone having issues with how touchy the HP touchpad is | 02:53 |
| tritium | kittentamer: the live CD should boot into a graphical desktop | 02:53 |
| RealGateHead | relic, how do I know if i am up to date? | 02:54 |
| Moshen212 | plz help me 4 install KDE4 | 02:54 |

| KiD_ChAoS | relic, really? | 02:54 |
| justin_ | ok i did it and this is wat it says | 02:54 |
| tritium | Moshen212: it's not released yet, or packaged for ubuntu | 02:54 |
| etfb | relic: The #mysql channel covers a lot of territory. This really feels like an issue with the Ubuntu apt installation of Mysql. | 02:54 |
| KiD_ChAoS | relic, but it can read them just fine | 02:54 |
| relic | KiD_ChAoS: i havent trusted it for ntfs | 02:54 |

| kittentamer | I'm having issues with the graphical setup...I'm getting an error so I pulled the text based. | 02:54 |
| tritium | justin_: yes, and please don't install | 02:54 |
| etfb | notgod, relic: Fair enough; I'll ask there. Thanks. | 02:55 |
| justin_ | ok if its already installed where is it? | 02:55 |

| kittentamer | nickrud: Well, it is the first screen it is bringing me to and it tells me the login is incorrect whatever I've tried... | 02:56 |
| tritium | justin_: FYI: dpkg -L <packagename> lists the files in a package | 02:56 |
| Boohbah | l21logan99: can you ping your default gateway? can you ping 64.233.167.99? | 02:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | justin_: thast likely because the partition in use, but iv'e never tried it, so i don't know. | 02:57 |

| IndyGunFreak | justin_: the gparted live CD... | 02:57 |
| nickrud | kittentamer, can you take a photo of the screen and put it on the net? | 02:57 |
| astro76 | justin_, you can't modify mounted partitions, so if it's your running system's partition you will have to use a livecd | 02:57 |
| RealGateHead | since i cant figure this out how can i delete linux from my computer? | 02:57 |
| justin_ | ok that will work | 02:57 |

| astro76 | reaper-x, cd ~/Desktop | 02:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | justin_: or if you have an Ubuntu Live CD boot it, instal Gparted, and use it. | 02:57 |
| nickrud | kittentamer, cuz not a single person here knows what you're talking about :) | 02:57 |
| Boohbah | RealGateHead: do you want to install something else over it, or wipe the disk? | 02:57 |

| [Chief] | how can I change the number of active Drives in the Soft raid? | 03:26 |

| scguy318 | cheatersrealm: well, I'm headed to my games so have a good night | 03:30 |
| nsegative | actually this may be wrong. I added this to rc.local : cd /root/r2 | 03:31 |
| nsegative | for it to go into that folder | 03:31 |
| zenrium | ya thats wrong | 03:31 |
| nsegative | ah | 03:31 |
| nsegative | teach me master | 03:31 |
| nsegative | :D | 03:31 |
| KlrSpz | flexgrip: what is it you're trying to do? | 03:32 |
| zenrium | just copy the file thats in /root/r2 that runs the wifii into /etc/rc.local | 03:32 |
| zenrium | and it'll run on boot | 03:32 |
| Nutubuntu | With an Athlon A64 X2 would I be better advised to install a64 or i360 ? | 03:32 |
| nsegative | ohhh | 03:32 |
| zenrium | actually sorry | 03:32 |
| zenrium | its /etc/init.d | 03:32 |
| KlrSpz | flexgrip: bridging has not been all that comprimising for me, but i have however set up forwarding easily | 03:32 |
| zenrium | and clean the entry you made in rc.local | 03:32 |
| cav3man | flexgrip, iptables forwarding possibly | 03:33 |

| MenZa | tritium, for the latest version. | 03:43 |
| nickrud | nsegative, yeah, that should work | 03:43 |
| MenZa | KlrSpz, It must be looking elsewhere and finding a symbolic link. | 03:43 |
| nickrud | nsegative, no, sorry, /home/mike/r2 | 03:43 |
| yoface | i installed gutsy then the vista boot stopped working | 03:43 |
| nsegative | what about the acutal command | 03:43 |
| KlrSpz | MenZa: type "which irssi" if that's wrong, you might need to log out and back in to get an updated path, or manually call the binary out such as /bin/irssi | 03:43 |
| nsegative | just ./wlan0up ? | 03:43 |
| MenZa | /usr/bin/irssi can be called. | 03:43 |
| nickrud | nsegative, in place of sudo <command> , just <command> | 03:43 |
| KlrSpz | MenZa: ehh it's a possibility | 03:43 |
| nickrud | nsegative, yes | 03:43 |
| nsegative | ah | 03:43 |

| yoface | then it tells me that there is no suitable drive anymore | 03:46 |
| Dr_willis | wit_273, i would try disabling the console framebuffer, for a start. (in the menu.lst, or edit the boot line in grub, as a test) | 03:46 |
| zenrium | theres a decent set of instructions for fixing that yoface | 03:46 |

| renato | Hi... Ubuntu's update notifier just reported me that there are 3 updates available (libgdl-1-0, libgdl-1-common and libgdl-gnome-1-0). When I click on "Install Updates" on Update Manager, it tells me these 3 packages are NOT AUTHENTICATED. Since this was the first time it happens I chose to wait a little more before doing the update.. Anyone else had this issue ? That's under Ubuntu 7.10 | 03:49 |

| super-6-2 | preaction, im not sure all i did was do all i can do | 03:50 |
| yoface | nickrud, what does that do? | 03:50 |
| yoface | i don't have fdisk installed | 03:50 |

| super-6-2 | preaction, umm to much to say | 03:50 |
| super-6-2 | preaction, we can start of from scratch | 03:51 |
| jamestabbler | i fixed it with asoundconf set-default-card | 03:51 |
| preaction | super-6-2, if you don't tell me what you did, we're going to go over all of it again. so to save us both time, tell me what you did and what happened when you did it | 03:51 |
| nickrud | yoface, it will tell you some info about your drive. and it is on your system. The reason I mention it is I had similar issues, I could use every existing partition but could not do any changes (like make an ntfs to reinstall vista) Had to reformat everything from scratch | 03:51 |
| jamestabbler | i found the card name with asoundcard list | 03:51 |
| nsegative | damn still no luck, i hate my friends laptop | 03:51 |
| yoface | nickrud, okay, well, let me find out how to install fdisk and then run it | 03:52 |
| nickrud | yoface, fdisk is already on your system. It is there by default on any ubuntu install | 03:52 |
| super-6-2 | preaction, ok to summarize everything. Me and a few people tryed to get this thing to work. From what we are seeing the HDD is in NTFS format and it conflicting with something. i dont know what tho | 03:52 |
| preaction | super-6-2, what did you do to see that? give me exactly what you did | 03:52 |
| wit_273 | Dr_Willis I looked at the menu.lst and I do not see anything about console frame buffer. But I did notice that a backup was created for menu.lst yesterday. I do recall doing any updates though. I am going to try to revert to the backup and see if that resolves the issue | 03:52 |
| zenrium | well I installed ubuntu on hd0,0 and then installed xp on hd0,2 and had to reinstall grub to get ubuntu working again and then had to edit the grubs boot.lst file to add in the xp option and initially I thought hd0,1 was correct but had forgotten about the swap part so changing to hd0,2 made my xp work again from grub. | 03:52 |
| wirechief | yoface check this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-gparted-to-resize-your-windows-vista-partition/ | 03:53 |
| super-6-2 | preaction, i can try i lost most of it from pc restart | 03:53 |
| yoface | nickrud, oh... it gave me a weird error when i tried last | 03:53 |
| yoface | let me try again | 03:53 |
| preaction | super-6-2, if you did nothing, tell me that. if you did mount -tntfs, tell me that. what do you mean you lost it from pc restart? | 03:53 |
| nickrud | yoface, yah, that's what I was afraid of | 03:53 |
| ramza3 | is there a way to get list the "deb" file URL through apt? | 03:53 |
| ramza3 | of a package | 03:53 |
| nickrud | ramza3, apt-cache madison <package> | 03:54 |
| renato | nickrud, I did an apt-get update and tried running the update manager again.. got the same message warning about NOT AUTHENTICATED packages... | 03:54 |
| heatmzzr | anyone know how to get a printer going? hp x4270 if that matters,, | 03:54 |
| nickrud | renato, do you have any 3d party repos? | 03:54 |
| ramza3 | nickrud, madison, werid | 03:54 |
| super-6-2 | preaction, ok make things short we need to do everything again | 03:54 |
| scguy318 | renato: add any repos? | 03:54 |
| KlrSpz | don't worry about the not authenitcated packages, they're fine to install most the time | 03:54 |
| scguy318 | renato: you may need to re-add the GPG keys as detailed by the source-o-matic page | 03:54 |
| renato | nickrud, I do... | 03:55 |
| nickrud | renato, those are probably the problem then. You haven't added their security key to apt | 03:55 |
| preaction | super-6-2, look, seriously, BS doesn't fly around here. either you know what you did or you don't. if you want to remember what you did, look at your ~/.bash_history, but that is not going to say what happened when you did that | 03:55 |
| preaction | there were error messages, what were they? | 03:55 |
| renato | nickrud, I see.. will try to remove them... | 03:56 |
| yoface | nickrud, see pm | 03:56 |

| renato | CW, apache is already running.... | 03:58 |
| wit_273 | Dr_Willis thanks for pointing me to menu.lst. I reverted to the backup made yesterday and I can now get to my terminal screens. I will compare the too later to see if there were any important differences | 03:58 |
| renato | CW, or there's something else running on port 80.. | 03:58 |

| scguy318 | nickrud: from his whois he is indeed using Pidgin :) | 03:59 |
| nsegative | but yeah. This driver i unpacked is a hacked driver so no exetucibles are copied out of the folder. each time to activate wireless i browse to folder and run ./wlan0up | 03:59 |
| Dr_willis | wit_273, i always disable the framebuffer, some times it and the X video card drivers can fight. | 03:59 |
| preaction | super-6-2, nothing resembling /dev/anything? try doing "dmesg | less" in a terminal, look for the string you just gave me. it should have a /dev/something near it | 03:59 |
| nickrud | scguy318, I'm not that nosy ;-p | 03:59 |
| CW | renato, ok mind if i pm you to ask you some more ?'s | 03:59 |
| mattholimea1 | what's wrong with pidgen? | 03:59 |
| nsegative | maybe i dont need to have ./wlan0up in the etc but instead just wlan0up | 03:59 |
| Dr_willis | wit_273, also.. do you have a TV plugged in/tv out? i had once where the console defaulted to the tv out.. | 03:59 |
| super-6-2 | preaction, ok ill look | 03:59 |

| astro76 | byonix, ahh, well if you don't have a problem with gnome you aren't really missing anything, some people run on old hardware which gnome is sluggish on | 04:17 |
| super-6-2 | preaction, yea i see it let me see what happens | 04:17 |

| c0nka | i installed linux with alternative installer and it did it successfully and everytime i go on to ubuntu the loading screen comes up and then goes on black screen | 04:17 |
| scguy318 | roRisc: dd, partimage, etc. I would do it from a LiveCD | 04:17 |
| renato | cw just open synaptics search for apache and remove, then reinstall | 04:17 |
| includeiostream | gnome isnt very sluggish, its kde thats sluggish | 04:17 |
| includeiostream | gosh kde is so slow | 04:17 |
| * nickrud thinks astro76 is spouting heresy | 04:17 | |
| === _max is now known as max | ||
| includeiostream | and it crashes all the time | 04:17 |
| c0nka | scguy318: any ideas | 04:17 |
| renato | cw, or do a dpkg -r apache2 on command line | 04:17 |
| scguy318 | roRisc: in practice you would pipe dd's output to gzip for compression | 04:17 |

| roRisc | scguy318, you have a tutorial link for this? | 04:18 |
| tritium | |_James_Bond_|: "modinfo bt878" will reveal so | 04:18 |

| super-6-2 | preaction, nvm it took it a few seconds | 04:18 |
| scguy318 | roRisc: not off the top of my head, a google search should get you what you need | 04:19 |
| roRisc | scguy318, I'm curious if I could do this live when in windows. e.g.: using cygwin? | 04:19 |
| Pici | Jonathan: It'll be in Applications>Office | 04:19 |

| c0nka | i cant acces a console | 04:19 |

| Eds | This may seem dangerous to ask, but what is the key difference between Gnome and KDE? Im still trying to work out which one to use and which distro :P or any links would be great as well | 04:19 |

| gatorCW | how do i run synaptic as root with out switching to root? | 04:22 |
| Thaiger | I've got a busted windows laptop (go figure) that I need ro run chkdsk on, is there anything in a LiveCD that would do that to a mounted NTFS partition? | 04:22 |
| bio | can you rename a directory? | 04:22 |
| zenrium | eds: tf2 / wow work okish using wine... vmware was originally developed on linux so I'd be surprised if it didnt :P | 04:22 |
| scguy318 | gatorCW: sudo | 04:22 |
| ardchoille | gatorCW: gksudo synaptic | 04:22 |
| yoface | nickrud, okay, i finally got fdisk to run after installing it after removing flashplugin | 04:22 |
| gatorCW | k thanks | 04:22 |
| kalpik | gatorCW, just run it from the menu.. it will ask you for your password! | 04:22 |
| includeiostream | zero, my boot partition is in unallocated space | 04:22 |
| byonix | this is a very life room | 04:22 |
| gatorCW | ok well then yes i am running it as root lol | 04:22 |
| zenrium | eds: if you dont want to pay for vmware try using qemu | 04:22 |
| Eds | Zenrium: how is the framerate etc for TF2/ WoW? As it better to use Cedega rather than WoW? | 04:22 |
| nickrud | yoface, good. did it say anything catastrophic? | 04:22 |
| Eds | Wine rather | 04:23 |
| Aztec007 | ok, again I ask: hey guys, my sound card stopped working all of a sudden, any Ideas on what I could do? I tested the sound card and this is what I got: "Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat" | 04:23 |
| yoface | nickrud, it's not listing my other partitions, which is where i was going to install vista | 04:23 |
| yoface | nickrud, nothing catastrophic | 04:23 |
| byonix | eds : i use qemu & qemu launcher its better than vmware | 04:23 |
| yoface | nickrud, actually it did list my other hdd | 04:23 |
| kalpik | Aztec007, try this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 | 04:23 |
| gatorCW | how do i check if cron is running? | 04:23 |
| Eds | Byonix, I use VMware at work, I carry a workstation between work and home :/ | 04:23 |
| nickrud | yoface, ok you need to create those partitions with gparted. | 04:24 |
| cav3man | Aztec007, why dont you try the live cd and check it out that way? | 04:24 |
| korosora | hai hai hia | 04:24 |
| astro76 | gatorCW, ps aux | grep cron | 04:24 |
| zenrium | eds : you can get the vmplayer for free for linux then fine | 04:24 |
| kalpik | gatorCW, does "ps -e | grep apt" give you anything? | 04:24 |
| velho_ | ey people i need some help. how can i prevent this applet from starting? http://nosrednaekim.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/powermanagerss.jpg | 04:24 |
| byonix | eds : oh, ignore me then lol | 04:24 |
| IrisWolf | ? | 04:24 |
| yoface | nickrud, okay, i can do that, but i do see that the partition i was going to use is listed as a fat16 drive... is that cool? | 04:24 |
| j0 | i setup autofs to mount some nfs mounts, but when i go to the folder, nothing is there... i've read all the docs and tried different configs --- what can i do to troubleshoot the setup? | 04:24 |
| Aztec007 | cav3man: if I run the live Cd the audio works so what should look for when I load it? | 04:24 |
| ac7ss | administrator: are you wondering about the partition or the Master Boot Record. | 04:24 |
| nickrud | yoface, no, must be ntfs | 04:24 |
| Eds | byonix, I will check it out tho, I always like to see new stuff | 04:24 |

| cav3man | Aztec007, sounds like you fubar'd something | 04:25 |
| nickrud | yoface, fat16 is old, I don't think anything uses it anymore | 04:25 |
| yoface | nickrud, cool, then let me work on that... i don't know why the vista loader wasn't formatting it right | 04:25 |
| kalpik | gatorCW, then yeah.. apt is running in the background | 04:25 |
| Aztec007 | cav3man: fubar'd? whats that? | 04:25 |

| Aztec007 | nickrud: my sound card isnt working , it was working but then I installed some packages off of synaptic and *sigh* it stopped working | 04:27 |
| cav3man | without knowing what is wrong, i would suggest a reinstall, and hopefully you setup a separate home partition | 04:27 |
| zenrium | aztec : did you try uninstalling them? :P | 04:28 |
| felin | Mmm, could anyone help me with Aircrack? | 04:28 |

| macogw | joanki: random stuff downloaded from within firefox but not saved? | 04:43 |
| joanki | i did them three different ways | 04:43 |
| macogw | joanki: temporary files go in /tmp | 04:43 |
| tritium | EightiesK: I don't game or own a game console | 04:43 |
| joanki | i downloaded from firefox twice | 04:43 |
| Ashfire908 | joanki, real player? | 04:43 |
| joanki | and i installed | 04:43 |

| Administrator_ | anyone here has experience in cracking root's password? | 04:44 |
| Aztec007 | Hey everyone, My soundcard is working now! Thanks to everybody who helped me, you know who you are | 04:44 |
| danc3 | Administrator_: why do you need to do that? | 04:44 |
| ikon | help | 04:44 |
| joanki | how do i search my entire ubuntu for any file named realplayer? | 04:44 |
| Dr_willis | Administrator_, much easier to get a live cd and set it. :) | 04:44 |
| Dr_willis | joanki, 'sudo updatedb' then 'locate realplayer' | 04:45 |
| Ashfire908 | Administrator_, hahahaha.... | 04:45 |
| joanki | plesae help me . every time i sit down to do work on mjy ubuntu i get into this black hole where time just passes | 04:45 |
| tritium | Administrator_: ubuntu doesn't enable root account by default first of all, and second, cracking is offtopic here | 04:45 |
| Ashfire908 | !root | Administrator_ | 04:45 |
| ubotu | Administrator_: 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 | 04:45 |
| ikon | Dr_willis, how can i see my connections ? | 04:45 |
| Aztec007 | joanki: LOL I know what you mean!! | 04:45 |
| tritium | joanki: open Firefox's download manager, and see where it's savign files | 04:45 |
| ikon | my out connections | 04:45 |

| Jonathan | I am sorry its again me . I liked the Alexandria to store the books bu was looking for a program that I can search a book online and download to my program(library) And read it. Please help me | 04:45 |
| joanki | tritium, it's not the doswnload i am looking for, i am looking for the install | 04:45 |
| tho1 | joanki the long version....'find / -name <filename> | 04:45 |
| Ashfire908 | so if you want to know it, the password is nothing :) | 04:45 |
| EightiesK | anyone here have ubuntu on there ps3? | 04:45 |
| Dr_willis | ikon, what connections are you refering to? | 04:46 |
| Tucci | my external hard drive has stopped being recognized. can anyone help? | 04:46 |
| c0nka | i installed linux with alternative installer and it did it successfully and everytime i go on to ubuntu the loading screen comes up and then goes on black screen even after configuring x | 04:46 |
| tritium | Ashfire908: no, not correct | 04:46 |
| danc3 | EightiesK: "there ps3"? What's that mean? | 04:46 |
| joanki | Dr_willis, thank you so much that was it | 04:46 |
| tritium | joanki: did you run an installer? | 04:46 |
| Ashfire908 | EightiesK, just ask your question (i don't have a ps3 though so don't ask me. | 04:46 |
| EightiesK | danc3: Play Station 3. | 04:46 |
| Administrator_ | why do your guys sneer at me? | 04:46 |
| danc3 | EightiesK: no, what does "there ps3" mean? | 04:47 |
| ikon | Dr_willis: i am uploading a file to a site, so, there is no a progress bar, i need to know if i am already uploading it | 04:47 |
| joanki | yes tritium | 04:47 |
| Jonathan | I am sorry its again me . I liked the Alexandria to store the books bu was looking for a program that I can search a book online and download to my program(library) And read it. Please help me | 04:47 |
| jack-desktop | How can I change what file opens with certain extensions (like .exes) | 04:47 |
| joanki | i ran like three and none seemed to work but they all seemed to creat efiles | 04:47 |
| * syc_ brb, bikin kopi | 04:47 | |
| c0nka | ?? | 04:47 |
| Jonathan | ??? | 04:47 |
| Soskel | rm -rf what does that do? | 04:47 |
| EightiesK | it keeps freezing while installing the kernel at 84% on base system on alt install. | 04:47 |
| Jonathan | I am sorry its again me . I liked the Alexandria to store the books bu was looking for a program that I can search a book online and download to my program(library) And read it. Please help me | 04:47 |
| Jonathan | hellp | 04:47 |
| Ashfire908 | Soskel, don't run | 04:47 |
| nickrud | Jonathan, what kind of program do you read the books in? | 04:47 |
| Soskel | Ashfire908: what why?! | 04:47 |
| Jonathan | I dont have that program yet | 04:48 |
| c0nka | hellp me plz | 04:48 |
| tritium | joanki: use find, which , or locate, as suggested | 04:48 |
| Jonathan | I installed alexandria | 04:48 |
| rodger | ex-chat | 04:48 |
| joanki | k | 04:48 |
| Jonathan | but | 04:48 |
| tritium | joanki: hopefuly, the installer installed in /usr/local/bin if you used sudo, or under your home directory if you did not | 04:48 |
| Pici | Soskel: That deletes a folder and all items within it without asking for confirmation. | 04:48 |
| tho1 | Administrator_ there is no root password in ubuntu. By default your user password will work with 'su' unless the computer belongs to someone else, in which case you shouldn't have the root password | 04:48 |
| Ashfire908 | Soskel, it deletes every file and folder in the current folder, forcefully without asking. | 04:48 |
| zenrium | c0nka - just keep reconfiguring X with different screen res and refresh rates? | 04:48 |
| joanki | everywhere, tritium i see now | 04:48 |
| Jonathan | I thought that it is a program to read books | 04:48 |
| Administrator_ | oh, i see | 04:48 |
| zenrium | ch0ka: is your video card nvidia? | 04:48 |
| Jonathan | but it is not | 04:48 |
| watchme | hi all | 04:49 |
| Soskel | why would they have such a command Pici Ashfire908 ?!? | 04:49 |
| scguy318 | Jonathan: oh, you wanted an e-book reader? | 04:49 |
| nickrud | Jonathan, oh, like read ebooks. | 04:49 |
| tritium | joanki: good :) | 04:49 |
| Jonathan | yes | 04:49 |
| Jonathan | u got it | 04:49 |
| Administrator_ | Ashfire908, what you mean by "hahhaha"? | 04:49 |
| Jonathan | could u help me | 04:49 |
| astro76 | Soskel, rm -r deletes recursively, so you can delete a non-empty directory with rm -r directory/ | 04:49 |
| c0nka | zenrium:no its an ati radeon xpress 200 | 04:49 |
| Jonathan | pliz | 04:49 |
| c0nka | series | 04:49 |
| danc3 | wow, the clueless level is off the scale tonight | 04:49 |
| nickrud | Jonathan, I don't know one, maybe scguy318 does | 04:49 |
| byonix | can we read *.lit files in ubuntu feisty? | 04:49 |
| Pici | Soskel: Because its useful. When I delete a folder containing many items, I dont want to clear out every subdirector and I dont want it to ask me if I'm sure for every file. | 04:49 |
| zenrium | k not so sure about the ati drivers sadly :( | 04:49 |
| watchme | can someone please tell me how to , how I can change the slot-number of my screens? | 04:49 |
| Jonathan | oh he helped me before | 04:49 |
| astro76 | Soskel, rm -rf * would do what Ashfire908 said | 04:49 |
| Soskel | what does reclusively mean? | 04:49 |
| pteague | is it just me or do menus & such seem to be faster with xinerama enabled? | 04:49 |
| Jonathan | is he online | 04:50 |
| tritium | danc3: nothing wrong with questions | 04:50 |
| mattholimea1 | watchme, right click the workspace switcher | 04:50 |
| scguy318 | Jonathan: gimme a sec im on phone | 04:50 |
| mattholimea1 | then click properties | 04:50 |
| Jonathan | ok | 04:50 |
| ikon | any knows how can i see my current connections? | 04:50 |
| Dr_willis | pteague, just you. :) it shouldent affect that. | 04:50 |
| Ashfire908 | Soskel, recursive. it recurses into the subfolders. | 04:50 |
| danc3 | tritium: nope, never said there was | 04:50 |
| astro76 | Soskel, descend into subdirectories | 04:50 |
| mattholimea1 | ikon, netstat? | 04:50 |

| ikon | to a site | 04:50 |

| watchme | I want to change CRT-1 to CRT0 | 04:51 |
| con-man | anyone know how I can make movie files show as thumbnails? | 04:51 |
| TigranG | con-man: they should | 04:51 |
| mattholimea1 | aha | 04:51 |
| Ashfire908 | Administrator_, sorry but you were like help me hack the root pass, and there is no pass | 04:51 |
| mattholimea1 | well, i tried, watchme | 04:51 |
| scguy318 | Jonathan: what sort of e-books? | 04:51 |
| TigranG | con-man: try changing the file size for thumbnails | 04:51 |
| watchme | thx anyway | 04:51 |
| mattholimea1 | that was something i wanted to change recently | 04:51 |
| Jonathan | various | 04:51 |
| yoface | will ubuntu format a drive to ntfs? | 04:51 |
| mattholimea1 | so, you're doing dual screens? | 04:51 |
| Jonathan | education,art. science | 04:51 |

| danc3 | yoface: no | 04:51 |
| con-man | how do I do that | 04:51 |
| c0nka | how comeit goes on a black screen | 04:52 |
| Tonsha | This seems to be the only channel that I can get people to talk to me in, so I guess I'm stuck waiting here for someone wo knows Aircrack. | 04:52 |
| scguy318 | yoface: sure, GPartEd can or some ntfsprog possibly | 04:52 |
| jack-desktop | How can I change what program opens with certain extensions (like .exes) | 04:52 |
| c0nka | ??? | 04:52 |
| yoface | scguy, well, gparted isn't letting me format this drive to ntfs | 04:52 |
| mattholimea1 | jack, i just saw that file in i think it was /etc/nautilus | 04:52 |
| scguy318 | Jonathan: any format of the e-book you're thinking of? | 04:52 |
| Jonathan | u mean pdf or sth | 04:52 |
| TigranG | con-man: in a nautilus window Edit->Preferences->Preview | 04:52 |
| joanki | tritium, root, home, var/lib/dpkg, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /usr/share | 04:52 |
| Jonathan | is that | 04:53 |
| joanki | i'm manually deleting them all | 04:53 |
| byonix | scguy318 : *.lit | 04:53 |
| Ashfire908 | con-man, how big are the files? | 04:53 |
| Jonathan | 04:53 | |
| pteague | Dr_willis> ah, i think i see... seems the menus do a fly-out & things are shaded when xinerama isn't enabled... & i'm guessing that this is what's making it take longer to display | 04:53 |
| clara | vhoe | 04:53 |
| yoface | scguy, well, i'm gonna leave the drive unformatted and see if vista will recognize it and format it to whatever it needs | 04:53 |
| con-man | Ashfire908, 350 MB | 04:53 |
| con-man | and it didnt work | 04:53 |
| con-man | changed the size | 04:53 |
| yoface | i'll deal with the dual booting nightmare after i get vista running | 04:54 |
| flexgrip | Can anyone tell me how to share an internet connection from my wireless card (wlan0) to my ethernet card (eth0) | 04:54 |
| Ashfire908 | con-man, oh sorry forgot to scroll dow- that's huge! | 04:54 |
| TigranG | Ashfire908: i have a 4.3 gb avi file that shows a preview, size shouldnt mater | 04:54 |
| Jonathan | I need also a program to store them is it possible in Alexandria | 04:54 |
| Lagginator | I accidentally deleted my /boot/grub/menu.lst | 04:54 |
| joanki | ughhhhh tritium half of these it won't let me delete | 04:54 |
| joanki | this is driving me crazy | 04:54 |
| Ashfire908 | TigranG, except for time to make the thumbnail. | 04:55 |
| scguy318 | Jonathan: Evince or kdf can read PDFs | 04:55 |
| joanki | sorry... i hit enter.... now twice sorry sorry sorry | 04:55 |

| Lagginator | heh, yeah, i just found something | 04:55 |
| Jonathan | excuse me is it a program I am new to these things | 04:55 |
| TigranG | Ashfire908: Just key note here, it should show a preview for con-man. | 04:55 |
| tho1 | flexgrip if what you want is to have your computer forward from the ethernet to the wifi then look at the command 'route' and the routing tables | 04:55 |
| joanki | honestly, i like ubuntu and all, but it seems that i spent SO much time just making m y system WORK. it's VERY VERY VERY time consuming. i wouldn'thave installed it if i didnt have another laptop with windows as a backup | 04:56 |
| jess^^ | is there a way I can get hotplug to completely IGNORE a specific USB device? I need it to *completely ignore* my iPod so i can use it in VirtualBox. | 04:56 |
| crdlb | pteague: you can turn compiz off if you don't like it | 04:56 |
| crdlb | or trim down the effects to be more subtle | 04:56 |
| TigranG | con-man: it the Preview tab of Preferences, is Show Thumbnails set to never? | 04:56 |
| scguy318 | Jonathan: yes | 04:56 |

| jake4d1 | Hey, is there a particular reason that ubuntu 6.06 will no operare my floppy drive correctly? I'm trying to make a few Win2k bootdisks here but this thing won't cooperate. | 04:58 |
| joanki | frustrated | 04:58 |

| joanki | i deleted /var/lib/dpkg/info/realplayer.list also... is that ok | 05:00 |
| crdlb | pteague: System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects: None | 05:00 |
| tritium | joanki: you should not have done that. | 05:01 |
| joanki | i can get it back though by downloading it again, right? | 05:01 |
| tritium | joanki: where did you get the realplayer .deb? | 05:01 |
| joanki | i downloaded it from a website | 05:01 |
| tritium | joanki: and what's wrong now? | 05:01 |
| TigranG | JQ83: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcre3/+bug/130428 | 05:01 |
| TigranG | JQ83: Seems like its a bug | 05:01 |
| joanki | after i downloaded it, somehow it got INSTALLED to my desktop | 05:01 |
| JQ83 | TigranG: thanks | 05:01 |
| joanki | i don't wnat my software files on my desktop, so i moved it to my ahem... /home/user directory | 05:02 |
| JQ83 | TigranG: is a bug? | 05:02 |
| TigranG | JQ83: Scroll down, I think some one posted a fix | 05:02 |
| joanki | but after i did that, it no longer recognized the plugins in firefox, so i wanted to reinstall | 05:02 |
| tritium | joanki: That's just the .deb file. It doesn't actually _install_ to your desktop. | 05:02 |
| joanki | no, i know what the .deb file is and it installed to my desktop | 05:02 |
| JQ83 | TigranG: thanks | 05:03 |
| tritium | joanki: no, it was saved to your desktop | 05:03 |
| tho1 | joanki you are just trying to get realplayer to work, right? | 05:03 |

| tho1 | joanki install realplayer....from synaptic to keep it simple. Then you need to find the .so file...it should be something like librealplay.so, and link it or copy it to the plugins folder in /usr/lib/firefox | 05:04 |
| joanki | ohhhhhhh | 05:04 |
| tritium | joanki: I can't tell what you've done from what you've said. Please read the instructions I sent you | 05:04 |
| joanki | thol, tritium thanks ya'll... i'm gonna hafta do this when i've got an hour to burn... getting ubuntu up and running taking longer than ithought.... thanks sooooooo much | 05:05 |
| tritium | joanki: did you follow the instructions the first time? | 05:05 |
| tho1 | joanki there should also be a .xpt file with the same name...I think you need them both | 05:05 |
| flatline-kun | Oops...I meant wine.budgetdedicated.com...not net. | 05:05 |
| joanki | yes i did, tritiium | 05:05 |
| joanki | thol, thx | 05:05 |
| tritium | joanki: we can try to walk through it more carefully, if you can explain clearly | 05:06 |
| joanki | really, tritium? | 05:06 |
| tritium | joanki: yes. You may /query me so as not to flood the channel too much | 05:06 |
| joanki | what is a / query | 05:06 |
| TigranG | lol | 05:07 |
| tritium | joanki: like a PM. I'll /query you | 05:07 |
| joanki | k | 05:07 |
| r0cks0ul | query is a stupidity that is the answer add dumb on it | 05:07 |
| JQ83 | TigranG: another problem:I can not use Searching tool in nautilus, is it a bug too? | 05:07 |
| msvc | how many packages does ubuntu come with by default? | 05:07 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc: available or installed? | 05:08 |
| msvc | after I install | 05:08 |
| msvc | how many packages are there on disk? | 05:08 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc uh the installed ones? | 05:08 |
| tritium | msvc: there are approx 23,000 in gutsy | 05:08 |
| astro76 | msvc, dpkg -l | wc -l | 05:08 |

| flexgrip | Does anyone know how to forward an internet connection from wifi to my ethernet card? | 05:09 |
| Ashfire908 | what astro76 said | 05:09 |
| TigranG | JQ83: That sound like your problem? | 05:09 |
| msvc | Ashfire908: I don't have ubuntu installed at the moment | 05:09 |
| tritium | joanki: is your nick registered? | 05:09 |
| JQ83 | let me c | 05:09 |
| aslan | hello, I have a dell m1530, I successfully installed ubuntu and updated to the latest nvidia drivers, the card is a 8600m GT with 256 Megs... when I boot, I do not see the splash, instead all I see is a black screen until GDM loads and I can login. Any ideas? | 05:09 |
| JQ83 | uh must be | 05:10 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc: ok... uh i don't know what modules come installed with a standard install | 05:10 |
| joanki | tritium, i don't know | 05:10 |
| joanki | i dont think i have to | 05:10 |
| joanki | i have linux | 05:10 |
| astro76 | msvc, not sure how useful a metric it is, but if I had to guess around 1200 - 1400 | 05:10 |
| msvc | how many GB of space does that take up? | 05:10 |
| joanki | do you have a firewaall, tritium? | 05:11 |
| tritium | joanki: no, I can't send you a /query unless you register your nick with nickserv | 05:11 |
| flexgrip | Does anyone know how to forward an internet connection from wifi to my ethernet card? | 05:11 |

| flexgrip | r0cks: is that a package from synaptic? I was looking at 'route' but have no clue how to use it | 05:12 |
| joanki | hm i need to practice this crap' | 05:12 |
| th0r | flexgrip we would need to know more about your network....is the wifi side only one private subnet? | 05:12 |
| nickrud | Ashfire908, install apt-rdepends | 05:12 |
| msvc | If I want to keep my partition as small as possible, how big should I partition ubuntu? | 05:12 |
| msvc | 4 Gigs? | 05:12 |
| r0cks0ul | 2GB | 05:12 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc: 2.1 GB is recommended | 05:12 |
| bruenig | 3 GB | 05:12 |
| flexgrip | th0r: wlan0 is connected to the internet, eth0 is connected to my xbox | 05:12 |
| Ashfire908 | or is that required? | 05:12 |
| nickrud | msvc, you can play around in around 6gb comfortably | 05:13 |
| SWitchArmageddon | Good morning everybody | 05:13 |
| zenrium | hi | 05:13 |
| th0r | flexgrip is the xbox the only thing on the eth0 side? | 05:13 |
| msvc | I only need about probably a few megabytes of hard disk space | 05:13 |
| msvc | just for compiling c programs | 05:13 |
| flexgrip | th0r: yes | 05:13 |
| Ashfire908 | ? | 05:13 |
| Ashfire908 | no | 05:13 |
| Ashfire908 | you will need (25ish?) meg just for the kernel | 05:13 |
| msvc | free space after installing ubuntu I mean | 05:14 |
| BloodElf | Hello | 05:14 |
| msvc | whatever the space all the ubuntu stuff takes up | 05:14 |
| SWitchArmageddon | Hii BloodElf | 05:14 |
| BloodElf | When I try to boot into Ubuntu's live CD it goes through loading the kernel | 05:14 |
| msvc | then a tiny bit of space for c programs and mysql things | 05:14 |
| msvc | actually not even mysql | 05:14 |
| BloodElf | goes to the screen where its all [OK] | 05:14 |
| bruenig | oh yeah ubuntu just keeps racking up kernels instead of removing old ones, so depending on how long you intend to keep this install, you might want to make it bigger | 05:14 |
| msvc | just c programs | 05:14 |
| bruenig | or delete them I guess | 05:15 |
| joanki | tritium, i'm registered now | 05:15 |
| BloodElf | But then when everything is loaded....the screen goes black and stays black. | 05:15 |
| flexgrip | th0r: thats why i dont want to have a lot of setup or router stuff installed. Just static IP's and gutsy bridging or sharing the connection | 05:15 |
| th0r | flexgrip this is a quick shot...but worth a try...sudo route add <xbox ip> wlan0 | 05:15 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc: you want gui or no gui? | 05:15 |
| msvc | is that an option in the install? | 05:15 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc: sorta | 05:15 |
| flexgrip | th0r: can we go private for a second? not in a gay way | 05:15 |
| th0r | flexgrip not registered...sorry | 05:16 |
| flexgrip | ohh | 05:16 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc: did you already get the normal cd? | 05:16 |
| jake4d1 | Can anyone help me make windows bootdisks using ubuntu? I don't think ubuntu recognizes me floppy drive properly. | 05:16 |
| flexgrip | that command doesnt even say anything about eth0 or eth0 to wlan0 or anything. how will it know | 05:16 |
| mzuverink | I screwed p and accidentally install Win Xp to my d drive not my C drive. I have heard that you have to have the dumber of the OSes on the first disk, making linux.. on the additional disks. is this true of only LiLo or of Grup as wll? | 05:16 |
| mzuverink | *grub | 05:16 |
| th0r | flexgrip anything coming in on wlan0 will go out the default route unless there is another route...so the default is already set up. All you need is a route TO the xbox | 05:17 |
| zenrium | mzu: I installed xp on the last partition.. it named my windows C drive as F drive.. I can live with that tho | 05:17 |
| th0r | flexgrip course...I've been wrong before <smile> | 05:17 |
| astro76 | mzuverink, it is true of either only if you want to avoid fixing them afterwards | 05:17 |
| zenrium | mzu: vista apparently could do better and name it C | 05:17 |
| astro76 | !fixgrub | mzuverink | 05:17 |
| ubotu | mzuverink: 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 | 05:17 |
| aslan | hello, I have a dell m1530, I successfully installed ubuntu and updated to the latest nvidia drivers, the card is a 8600m GT with 256 Megs... when I boot, I do not see the splash, instead all I see is a black screen until GDM loads and I can login. Any ideas? | 05:18 |
| flexgrip | th0r: Just to make sure... the setup is xbox -> eth0 -> wlan0 -> internet. Is that what you thought it was? | 05:18 |
| th0r | flexgrip nope..had it backwards...so you need route add <xbox> eth0 | 05:18 |
| Colt7r | can someone help me? | 05:19 |
| BloodElf | Hello, I tried to boot into a ubuntu liveCD and when I do it works on the screen with the [OK] but after that the screen goes black and nothing happens. This happens in ubuntu and kubuntu in regular and gfx safe mode. Please help. | 05:19 |
| flexgrip | ok... I thought something was wrong | 05:19 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc, hello? | 05:19 |
| Colt7r | i did a rm -rf /, and all my files went down | 05:19 |
| sayers | how do I send local mail | 05:19 |
| mzuverink | zenrium, windows installed to the deive windows called D.. Darm IDE jumper budar on my part. Nothing is on c its just fat. I want to install ubuntu there, so aside from having to fix grup it sholdwork? | 05:19 |
| zenrium | ubuntu and the black screen of doom - coming to a theatre near you | 05:19 |
| Ashfire908 | Colt7r, ... | 05:19 |
| bruenig | Colt7r, you are lying because that command doesn't work | 05:19 |
| th0r | flexgrip been a while since I did this...but I think that route will remain after reboot...but again <smile> | 05:19 |
| bruenig | Colt7r, --no-preserve-root is necessary or it won't execute | 05:20 |
| BloodElf | Can comeone help me? | 05:20 |
| flexgrip | th0r: sudo route add <xbox ip> eth0. Do I need to manually enter dns settings as well? Or is there a way that I can get the xbox to grab an ip through dhcp? | 05:20 |
| soulrider | !fstab | 05:21 |
| ubotu | 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 | 05:21 |
| jake4d1 | Is there a way to write/read/do anything useful to my floppy disks(FAT) in ubuntu? | 05:21 |
| Colt7r | aeaehaieuhauiae | 05:21 |
| boselecta | i'm having some responsiveness problems that i wasn't experiencing before. the disk keeps thrashing, and the GNOME performance isn't so good (windows don't drag immediately, etc,) | 05:21 |
| Ashfire908 | bruenig, read the man. --no-preserve-root is by default on. | 05:21 |
| th0r | flexgrip dns is already set up. You might be able to use dhcp, but would have to route the entire subnet to eth0 so it would take a little toying around. | 05:21 |
| boselecta | i looked in top and see: Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 157488k cached | 05:22 |
| bruenig | --preserve-root do not remove `/' (default) | 05:22 |
| BloodElf | noone can anser? | 05:22 |
| zenrium | mzuverink: ya should do if you dont touch the D paritition when installing ubuntu. seeing as your installing ubuntu after XP grub should pick that up and let you dual boot but if it doesnt then you will need to fix it... also you need to worry about a swap partition somewhere :( | 05:22 |
| boselecta | which seems weird to me. why is it showing 0k swap? | 05:22 |
| Ashfire908 | bruenig, huh? | 05:22 |
| bruenig | Ashfire908, that is what mine says | 05:22 |
| Ashfire908 | bruenig, mine says the oppisite. | 05:22 |
| flexgrip | th0r: so sudo route add <xbox ip> eth0. Do I need to set the gateway and dns on the xbox to the ip of eth0? | 05:22 |
| bruenig | Ashfire908, --preserve-root is default | 05:22 |
| BloodElf | Hello, I tried to boot into a ubuntu liveCD and when I do it works on the screen with the [OK] but after that the screen goes black and nothing happens. This happens in ubuntu and kubuntu in regular and gfx safe mode. Please help. | 05:22 |
| bruenig | Ashfire908, hmm, different versions perhaps? | 05:23 |
| mzuverink | Cool beans to all with the installdual boot issue! | 05:23 |
| Ashfire908 | bruenig, idk. | 05:23 |
| th0r | flexgrip not sure about xbox...don't know how smart or dumb it is. | 05:23 |
| bruenig | I have 6.9 | 05:23 |
| mzuverink | thanks for you help | 05:23 |
| flexgrip | ok I will try and be back in a bit | 05:23 |
| zenrium | bloodelf : tried it on another machine?? what h/w do you have? | 05:23 |
| th0r | flexgrip you should probably set the default route for the xbox to your eth0 ip | 05:23 |
| BloodElf | This happens in both AMD and i386 disc | 05:23 |
| flexgrip | ok | 05:23 |
| BloodElf | zenrium, im away from home...no other machine | 05:24 |
| BloodElf | this happens with EVERY disc I try | 05:24 |
| BloodElf | no matter what ubuntu im trying to load | 05:24 |
| Colt7r | Aga_Romeu_Pinto agarra o meu | 05:24 |
| th0r | flexgrip this is the sort of exercise that is a lot of fun because the commands aren't real complex...but it usually takes a few tries to get it all right | 05:24 |
| Aga_Romeu_Pinto | kkkkkk | 05:24 |
| BloodElf | but I can boot into other OS's like Gentoo. | 05:24 |
| BloodElf | :/ | 05:24 |
| zenrium | bloodelf : v odd. | 05:24 |
| flatline-kun | BloodElf - What are the specs on the computer? | 05:24 |
| BloodElf | Let me pastebin it | 05:25 |
| === Aga_Romeu_Pinto is now known as H_Romeu_Pinto | ||
| Colt7r | thanks for help | 05:25 |
| Ashfire908 | what? | 05:25 |
| boselecta | am i the only one with an occasionallly thrashing disk all of a sudden? | 05:25 |
| BloodElf | http://pastebin.ca/838188 | 05:25 |
| BloodElf | Specs | 05:25 |
| Ashfire908 | boselecta, could be updatedb running. | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | boselecta, once a day the locate database updates. | 05:26 |
| zenrium | boselecta: oh occasional? there are cronned jobs that do things like catalog the disk for commands like locate | 05:26 |
| boselecta | at 10:30pm? | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | then ya got the log cleaning/archiving. | 05:26 |
| nickrud | boselecta, next time it happens, run system monitor, see what's running | 05:26 |
| msvc | Ashfire908: I have Ubuntu Desktop | 05:26 |
| msvc | the CD | 05:26 |
| zenrium | blood shouldnt be anything wrong with that . nothing stands out and slaps me in the face | 05:27 |
| msvc | you can't tell it to include programming tools when you install can you? | 05:27 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc alternate or normal | 05:27 |
| msvc | what | 05:27 |
| boselecta | i keep seeing haldaemon creeping up | 05:27 |
| msvc | ? | 05:27 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc you can do that after you install | 05:27 |
| nickrud | msvc, no the install is fixed, no options to speak of | 05:27 |
| ksool | How else can I kill/debug a process that's not responding to kill -9, etc. without a reboot? | 05:27 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc: do you want a gui or a bare bones? | 05:27 |
| msvc | um | 05:27 |
| msvc | bare bones is annoying | 05:28 |
| flatline-kun | BloodElf: This is a laptop? | 05:28 |
| msvc | you can only do one task at a time | 05:28 |
| nickrud | ksool, get the big hammer, kill -15 | 05:28 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc, have you used ubuntu or any other linux before | 05:28 |
| boselecta | also ata/0 whatever that is | 05:28 |
| nickrud | ksool, doh. | 05:28 |
| chupaaaa | ifireball | 05:28 |
| nickrud | ksool, if you can, kill it's parent | 05:28 |
| msvc | I used to use red hat ages ago | 05:28 |
| zenrium | my deepest sympathies | 05:28 |
| flatline-kun | BloodElf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=552989&highlight=LiveCD+Hewlett+Packard | 05:29 |
| ksool | nickrud, still nothing. | 05:29 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc well eh just install | 05:29 |
| boselecta | OK scsi_eh_0, hald, hald_add_on_storage and ata/0 keep running | 05:29 |
| flatline-kun | BloodElf: That should help | 05:29 |
| nickrud | ksool, the parent thing, not the brain fart -15? | 05:29 |
| msvc | if I want to install anything other than the standard install, I need another CD right? | 05:30 |
| ksool | nickrud, Is there any straightforward way to see it's parent? | 05:30 |
| nickrud | ksool, there's a way with ps that escapes me, you can install pstree it makes it simple | 05:30 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc, after you install the system, and restart, do "sudo apt-get install build-essential" to get the compiler. | 05:31 |
| boselecta | is it normal to have swap showing as 0k total, used, and free, but with a non-zero quantity cached? | 05:31 |
| jga | what is the best cli webcam app? | 05:31 |
| Dr_willis | msvc, thers several packages on the cd's that may not be installed by default.. Then of course theres all the updates that are not on the cd. Ubuntu is best with a network connection | 05:31 |
| [deXter] | Does anyone know how to configure wmsm? | 05:31 |
| snugg | msvc: online update and downloading needed packages after you have done your initial install | 05:31 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc if you want a command line only or some special features in the installer you will need the alternate | 05:31 |
| ksool | nickrud, ps -ejH has it. | 05:32 |
| ksool | nickrud, but it doesn't seem like they have any parents. I think the problem may be that I killed their parents. | 05:32 |
| Shpook | Anyone know how to get ALSA to recognize the sound card? lspci shows it, but aplay -l says "aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found..." | 05:32 |
| flexgrip | th0r: no go. | 05:32 |
| msvc | ok, so if I install ubuntu on a partition, and after I install there is no space left on that partition (exactly fits) how many GB is that exactly? | 05:32 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc: i don't know. | 05:33 |
| snugg | msvc: why does thaat matter much? | 05:33 |
| nickrud | ksool, I've had defunct things, and removing the parent removed the defunct one. Some apps sit right under init, and killing init is the only way | 05:33 |
| Shpook | msvc: not sure...roughly between 1 and 2 gigs? | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | The reccomended size for the partitions - depends on what you want to do also. | 05:33 |
| th0r | flexgrip do you have any idea where it fails? If you can start a ping from the xbox you can use 'watch ifconfig' in ubuntu to see the incoming and outgoing packet counts increase | 05:33 |
| msvc | Dr_willis: I know, I only want to do C programming | 05:33 |
| MELIANTE | meliante is here | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | msvc, also you want 2 partitions.. the / partition. and the swap partition | 05:33 |
| tarelerulz | I changed a setting in the power managment and the screen brightness to like 100 precent and the screen is black and I can see the setting so I can change it . I really don't know what to do . I don't know what files govern it? help | 05:33 |
| MELIANTE | wtf | 05:33 |
| Ashfire908 | msvc: 2.1 GB is the recommend (or required, idk) minumum space for a ubuntu install | 05:34 |
| Dr_willis | msvc, id say at least 3-4 gb - depending on what you are doing.. it really SUCKS when you run out of space | 05:34 |
| Dr_willis | msvc, of course you could always just use vmware/virtual box and run ubuntu in that to 'play with' | 05:34 |
| th0r | msvc I am using 6.5 out of the 15 I set aside for suse | 05:34 |
| zenrium | oh man I'm sure that microwave popcorn just gave me 3 days worth of daily intake of salt... I need a drink! | 05:34 |

| Dr_willis | nixternal, :) | 05:35 |

| msvc | so I want to start with a small ext3 partition | 05:36 |
| ethana3 | can the installer do that? | 05:36 |
| ethana3 | shrink ntfs? | 05:36 |
| ethana3 | ubiquity? | 05:36 |
| th0r | flexgrip no...anything that comes in to ubuntu is examined for destination ip. So packets coming in on wlan0 and eth0 have the same route information...the question is not how it comes in...but where it goes once it gets there. | 05:36 |
| Shpook | nickrud: Oh...that makes sense...like one of the channel "ops." How clever am I. lol thanks. | 05:37 |
| Dr_willis | msvc, use parted to shrink the ntfs. leaving a section of the HD unallocated..let thubuntu installer then partition that unallocated space. Is wha ti do | 05:37 |
| chupaaaa | BASH SUX! USE KORN | 05:37 |
| TigranG | greater than 3 and less 5 gb for ubuntu installtion with only c programming should be fine | 05:37 |
| th0r | flexgrip so anything coming in from the xbox is routed like packets generated there in ubuntu...most everything will go out on wlan0 | 05:37 |
| tritium | chupaaaa: please stop | 05:37 |
| flexgrip | ok | 05:37 |
| === lwells is now known as netlarlinux | ||
| ethana3 | what can I do to keep pidgin up to date automatically? | 05:37 |
| th0r | flexgrip but anything that shows up addressed to the xbox will go out on eth0...and only things addressed to the xbox | 05:37 |
| ethana3 | is anyone running an apt-server for it? | 05:37 |
| flexgrip | th0r: Does my eth0 connection need to have the ip of wlan0 as its gateway? | 05:37 |
| boselecta | could somebody please tell me whether it is normal for top to report 0k swap? | 05:37 |
| Shpook | !sound | 05:38 |
| 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 | 05:38 |
| ethana3 | if you don't have swap | 05:38 |
| ethana3 | then you don't have it | 05:38 |
| ethana3 | it's a partition | 05:38 |
| [deXter] | Does anyone know how to configure wmsm ? | 05:38 |
| Shpook | Thank you ubotu. | 05:38 |
| th0r | flexgrip your ubuntu needs a gateway...the same gateway applies to both eth0 and wlan0 | 05:38 |
| Ashfire908 | boselecta, zero used, available or total? | 05:38 |
| boselecta | all except i have non-zero cached | 05:38 |
| th0r | flexgrip again, it is strictly a question of where the packets go OUT...they will come in regardless of the routing | 05:38 |
| netlarlinux | can anyone help with speaker problem? | 05:39 |
| ethana3 | !sound | 05:39 |
| 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).

| th0r | flexgrip you can see the entire routing table with the command 'route -n' | 05:39 |
| TigranG | netlarlinux be more specific too when you ask questions here | 05:39 |
| flexgrip | th0r: well right now, it has one im assuming since im on the internet talking to you. wlan0 gets an ip from dhcp. eth0 is connected straight to my xbox. eth0 is 192.168.1.10 mask is 255.255.255.0 and no gateway. xbox is 192.168.1.66 with the gateway and dns set to 192.168.1.10 (the ip of eth0). It cant connect setup like this. Even after route add xboxip eth0 | 05:40 |
| hello_ | Hello :) I think I made a bit of a mistake: I accidently removed the tray on the panel that has the icons for open programs (like pidgin)...how do I get it back? | 05:40 |
| th0r | flexgrip from ubuntu can you ping 192.168.1.66? | 05:41 |
| boselecta | Ashfire908: Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 168628k cached | 05:41 |
| netlarlinux | I am having trouble with the balance on my speakers, only on one speaker | 05:41 |
| netlarlinux | I cannot find anywhere where you can adjust the balance for the volume | 05:41 |
| arm9_linux | hello everyone | 05:41 |
| flexgrip | nope. is that because it is trying to ping through wlan0 and the xbox is connected to eth0? | 05:41 |
| nickrud | hello_, add the notification area back to the panel | 05:41 |
| flatline-kun | hello_: right click on a blank spot on your panel then drag the notification area to the panel. | 05:42 |
| netlarlinux | It is not in the Mixer settings that I can see | 05:42 |
| arm9_linux | does anyone run the lfslivecd on virtual box? | 05:42 |
| hello_ | Ah, yes, that worked. Thank you! | 05:42 |
| th0r | flexgrip not if you have the route correct. if you try 'route -n' you should see a route for the destination .66 going out on eth0 | 05:42 |
| nickrud | arm9_linux, linux from scratch live cd? isn't that an oxymoron? | 05:42 |
| TigranG | nickrud: beat me to it, i just forgot what the name was to add from panel | 05:42 |
| th0r | flexgrip pastebin the output from route -n | 05:43 |
| flexgrip | th0r: 192.168.1.66 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 | 05:43 |
| nickrud | TigranG, yah, but flatline-kun gave the best help :) | 05:43 |
| arm9_linux | nickrun,yes . linux from scratch | 05:43 |
| flexgrip | th0r: 0.0.0.0 is what it says for gateway | 05:43 |
| snugg | flexgrip: both sides have to have a route toward each other | 05:43 |
| th0r | flexgrip that looks correct...but I don't even know if xbox will respond to ping <smile> | 05:43 |
| rorisc | .. is ther a way to install ubuntu while at the same time running linux? | 05:43 |
| arm9_linux | for vbox si light and faster | 05:44 |
| TigranG | nickrud: meh, he just fluffed up the instructions ;) | 05:44 |
| netlarlinux | Only the right speaker has any sound coming out of it, both speakers work on the MS box that I have | 05:44 |
| Ashfire908 | boselecta, i don't think it should be 0kb... | 05:44 |
| Ashfire908 | boselecta, try "sudo swapon -a | 05:44 |
| Ashfire908 | *" | 05:44 |
| boselecta | OK how do i look at my partition table? | 05:44 |
| === cr_tmn_FS_ is now known as Asmahani | ||
| arm9_linux | fdisk -l | 05:44 |
| snugg | rorisc: what do you mean, you are installing it on a machine and what? | 05:44 |
| Ashfire908 | boselecta, no, just run "sudo swapon -a" | 05:44 |
| flexgrip | So does the xbox need to have its gateway set to the ip of eth0? | 05:45 |
| th0r | flexgrip snugg is right...but I don't know how you would define a route in an xbox | 05:45 |
| TigranG | netlarlinux: check the balance? | 05:45 |
| m1k3__ | I need help, when ever wine configures it's self it makes my pc freeze (No response from mouse or keyboard) any suggestions? | 05:45 |
| netlarlinux | I do not see where in Ubuntu I can check the balance TigranG | 05:45 |
| snugg | flexgrip: thats correct, how you set that in your xbox, i dont know | 05:45 |
| rorisc | snugg, something like a virtual image (as in vmware) but that I can boot into when it's done | 05:45 |
| boselecta | i'm getting "cannot canonicalize" and "cannot stat" errors | 05:45 |
| TigranG | netlarlinux: top right (by default) volume control | 05:46 |
| === arooni________ is now known as arooni | ||
| snugg | rorisc: you can be running your ubuntu and have vmware running on it, then another os is installing or running off of the vmware | 05:46 |
| flexgrip | snugg: that is the way its set. I have the xbox's gateway set to that of eth0. | 05:46 |
| TigranG | netlarlinux: or Alt+f2 and type gnome-volume-control | 05:46 |
| th0r | flexgrip snugg the xbox should create packets addressed to whoever, and routed via the gateway that is defined as 192.168.1.10. At .10 the packets will be analyzed and routed via the routing table....so it should all work | 05:46 |
| Ashfire908 | boselecta, idk if this has any effect on this but wern't you just trying to kill hal and other hardware processes? | 05:46 |
| netlarlinux | Ok I see the volume control | 05:47 |
| Beererde_ | why does apt-get ALWAYS remove googleearth when i remove ia32-libs??? | 05:47 |
| boselecta | no i wasn't messing with killing. i just was seeing them turn on and off in top. | 05:47 |
| rorisc | snugg, yes I see what you mean; but once the guest OS is up and running on vmware, can I take it live, and boot right into it? | 05:47 |
| flatline-kun | Is anyone else having problems updating WINE? | 05:47 |
| flexgrip | thor: wait a second. I am setting the ip of eth0 in the network manager. how do i tell if it actually set it? | 05:47 |
| boselecta | it looks like swapon is looking for a uuid that doesn't exist in /dev/disk/by-uuid | 05:47 |
| [deXter] | Doesn't *anyone* here know anything about wmsm? | 05:47 |
| th0r | flexgrip can you ping from the xbox? | 05:47 |
| daurnimator | hey al | 05:47 |
| TigranG | Beererde: Does it depend on it to run, maybe | 05:47 |
| snugg | flexgrip: its okay for the xbox to have the eth0 of ubuntu to be its gateway or 0.0.0.0 since there are only two of them on that subnet | 05:47 |
| daurnimator | *all | 05:47 |
| wweasel | Mouse trouble: the thumb button on my mouse opens a panel, really annoying considering i use it when browsing. could someone help me figure out why/how to stop it? | 05:47 |
| daurnimator | I updated my kernel, but its overwritten my menu.lst | 05:47 |
| daurnimator | and now I can't boot | 05:48 |
| daurnimator | does it make a backup? | 05:48 |
| Beererde_ | TigranG: yes, but this is annoying. something is wrong with my 32 bit libs, yesterday, googleearth did not run, i reinstalled it, but now firefox does not run and vice versa | 05:48 |
| m1k3__ | flatline-kun, Yes, I have problems with wine it freezes my pc when it configures it's self | 05:48 |
| th0r | daurnimator if it does it will be in /boot/grub | 05:48 |
| TigranG | duarminator: you need to use your live cd and run grub | 05:48 |
| flexgrip | th0r: no the xbox doesnt have ping feature. but it has a network tester that just says where it fails and it fails at the ip address step. even though it has one | 05:48 |
| TigranG | Beererde_: Dunno | 05:48 |
| daurnimator | the problem is that it gets it's drives mixed up | 05:48 |
| th0r | flexgrip are you sure the xbox will work with a static ip? | 05:49 |
| snugg | daurnimator: how did you verify that the kernel was overwritten by menu.lst? | 05:49 |
| Beererde_ | TigranG: can i reinstall a package without removing it? just dload it again and copy it over? | 05:49 |
| boselecta | Ashfire908: it looks like swapon is looking for a uuid that doesn't exist in /dev/disk/by-uuid | 05:49 |
| daurnimator | and I can't remember what they were before (when I changed them last time) | 05:49 |
| Ashfire908 | boselecta, then fix it :) | 05:49 |
| flexgrip | th0r: yeah i have done it before. | 05:49 |
| arooni | does anyone have any experience getting bluetooth headphones to work with gutsy? any ideas on how to do it? (pls dont refer me to the wiki how to get bluetooth working ... cuz i read it and it doesnt work) | 05:49 |
| th0r | flexgrip I am pretty sure of the routing...suspect the problem is in the xbox...something there we are missing | 05:49 |
| daurnimator | snugg: other way around, a kernel upgrade replaces all the grub files | 05:49 |
| crushin_ | !bluetooth | 05:49 |
| flatline-kun | m1k3: Sorry...I didn't mean using WINE...I mean actually upgrading through Synaptic. I can't seem to connect to wine.budgetdeicated.com. | 05:49 |
| ubotu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 05:49 |
| TigranG | Beererde_: Not sure. | 05:49 |
| wweasel | haha, crushin, he said no wiki :P | 05:50 |
| flexgrip | how do i manually set an ip to eth0 from the command line? | 05:50 |
| flexgrip | or check to see what its set at | 05:50 |
| phantomcircuit | I cant seem to install ubuntu on a low end laptop | 05:50 |
| Ashfire908 | flexgrip, ifconfig | 05:50 |
| wweasel | flexgrip: ifconfig | 05:50 |
| snugg | daurnimator: the entry on menu.lst just need to be upgraded to have an entry to point to the new kernel | 05:50 |
| th0r | flexgrip ifconfig eth0 <ipaddress> | 05:50 |
| ac7ss | flexgrip: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 | 05:50 |
| crushin_ | ubuntu forum is wiki ? | 05:50 |
| TigranG | daurminator: see if theres a menu.lst~ file, if you use gedit | 05:50 |
| phantomcircuit | the live cd installer is so slow that when it tries to ask for the language it just hangs indefinitely | 05:50 |
| Ashfire908 | Crusher, no | 05:50 |
| m1k3__ | phantomcircuit, why not try xubuntu? | 05:51 |
| daurnimator | TigranG: there is, but its the same as the one without the ~ | 05:51 |
| TigranG | oh | 05:51 |
| th0r | flexgrip what is the address of wlan0? | 05:51 |
| daurnimator | ps, I'm currently (dual) booted into windows on the comp | 05:51 |
| zcat[1] | flexgrip: alternatively, edit /etc/network//interfaces if you want a permanent config... | 05:51 |
| wweasel | phantomcircuit: what are the specs of the computer you're trying to run it on? | 05:51 |
| flatline-kun | Beererde_ : apt-get install --reinstall <package> | 05:51 |
| TigranG | daurnimator: Why don't you manually set the partitions for it. | 05:51 |
| daurnimator | I can change it from here, but to test I have to reboot | 05:51 |
| ac7ss | Flexgrip: are you using a router or a 'flipped' cable | 05:51 |
| daurnimator | TigranG: I did last time..... but it took me about an hour going through all my partitions till I found the correct one | 05:52 |
| wweasel | phantomcircuit: The Live CD might require too much of your computer. Options: Xubuntu, or using the Alternate install cd (not a live cd environment) | 05:52 |
| teknoprep | why do ppl still dual boot with the avaiilability of free virtualization software | 05:52 |
| snugg | zcat[1]: before flexgrip can do that, he is testing his connectivity between his ubuntu and xbox | 05:52 |
| daurnimator | I stupidly didn't write it down | 05:52 |
| TigranG | daurnimator: how many do you have o.O | 05:52 |
| Beererde_ | flatline-kun: thx very much! | 05:52 |
| th0r | ac7ss he has an xbox on connected to eth0 and wants to route out wlan0 | 05:52 |
| daurnimator | 7 drives | 05:52 |
| TigranG | haha | 05:52 |
| daurnimator | most with 2 partitions | 05:52 |
| teknoprep | i prefer never to turn my computer off... even if its a laptop i still run in 24.7 or i would only hibernate it | 05:52 |
| phantomcircuit | wweasel: it's a 1.2ghz 512mb ram with integrated video | 05:52 |
| bazhang | phantomcircuit: the minimal installer might do the trick as well see !minimal for more info | 05:52 |
| ikon | how can i see if i am already uploading something from ubuntu? | 05:52 |
| daurnimator | and I have to go through them all with a diff hdd set as defaulth | 05:52 |
| TigranG | daurnimator: well what drive is it installed on, then you just have 2 partitions to test | 05:52 |
| ac7ss | He is using a 'flipped' network cable, right? | 05:52 |
| TigranG | daurnimator: can't you do fdisk -l | 05:53 |
| teknoprep | ikon ? | 05:53 |
| phantomcircuit | !minimal | 05:53 |
| ubotu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 05:53 |
| daurnimator | TigranG: not on windows? | 05:53 |
| th0r | ac7ss oh...not sure. Aren't most cards autodetect nowadays? | 05:53 |
| snugg | ac7ss: its called cross over cable.. | 05:53 |
| TigranG | daurnimator: oh right | 05:53 |
| ikon | teknoprep | 05:53 |
| rorisc | teknoprep, what free virtualization software you talking about? | 05:53 |
| phantomcircuit | !Alternate CD | 05:53 |
| ubotu | The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal | 05:53 |
| il12_ | ok. I have a question. Can anyone walk me through setting up my dialup-modem and the connection for it? | 05:53 |
| TigranG | daurnimator: If you run the live cd, it will find it for you. | 05:53 |
| wweasel | phantomcircuit: You're better off with the Alternate CD which I recommended than the Minimal CD. | 05:53 |
| mytruehero | Hello everyone. I'm not entirely sure what open proxies are, but I got a menacing email saying that my Ubuntu server was blacklisted, and that I should check for open proxies on my system. I tried googling, but couldn't find anything that I could understand. Could someone possibly help me check my system for open proxies, and close them down if any are found? | 05:53 |
| teknoprep | rorisc, qemu vmware-server vserver xen | 05:53 |
| boselecta | Ashfire908: done. thanks for your help. | 05:53 |
| crushin_ | phantomcircuit there is also fluxbuntu ... very minimal distro | 05:53 |
| Ashfire908 | boselecta, k | 05:53 |
| wweasel | crushin_: flexbuntu is way more minimal than he has to go. | 05:54 |
| teknoprep | fluxbuntu will run on anything | 05:54 |
| daurnimator | TigranG: no it won't :P I have an extra IDE controller, which screws it all up, also, when I change the boot order, it goes out of wack too | 05:54 |
| ac7ss | thank you (I couldn't remember the name) | 05:54 |
| TigranG | daurnimator: ! .. | 05:54 |
| teknoprep | fluxbuntu will run on a damn 486 33mhz with 32megs of ram | 05:54 |
| TigranG | daurnimator: good luck | 05:54 |
| phantomcircuit | im pretty sure the laptop can run it once instlaled the cd drive is very slow and i think it is constantly swapping out code into memory as it uses all available up | 05:54 |
| flexgrip | th0r/snugg: Ok, I got it passed the ip address step. but the xbox is now failing on contacting the dns | 05:54 |
| ikon | teknoprep | 05:54 |
| teknoprep | ikon, | 05:54 |
| th0r | flexgrip ok....in a terminal 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' and get the dns addresses...then put them in the xbox | 05:55 |
| wweasel | il12_: It's going to be hard to find someone here to help you with your dialup modem. I'd advise you check out the ubuntu community wiki | 05:55 |
| TigranG | daurnimator: can you run fdisk from livecd? | 05:55 |
| ikon | teknoprep: how can i see if i am already uploading something from ubuntu? | 05:55 |
| snugg | flexgrip: is ubuntu providing the dns services? | 05:55 |
| teknoprep | flexgrip, echo "YOU.IP.ADDY.of.YOUR.dns.server" >> /etc/resolv.conf | 05:55 |
| flexgrip | snugg: no my router is | 05:55 |
| tritium | ikon: you mean downloading? | 05:55 |
| flexgrip | I can get the real dns server address from my router | 05:55 |
| snugg | th0r: thats on the ubuntu side, he needs it on the xbox side | 05:55 |
| teknoprep | ikon, uploading from where? | 05:55 |
| ikon | tritium: no | 05:55 |
| daurnimator | TigranG: yes, but results are different to when in a real install | 05:55 |
| TigranG | daurnimator: aH | 05:56 |
| ikon | from my ubuntu teknoprp | 05:56 |
| snugg | flexgrip: but your ubuntu is in-between your router and xbox right? | 05:56 |
| flexgrip | yes | 05:56 |
| tritium | ikon: typically, you don't upload to ubuntu.com | 05:56 |
| wweasel | il12_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto | 05:56 |
| TigranG | teknoprep: you mean to where lol | 05:56 |
| th0r | snugg he should be able to use the same nameservers on both sides...ubuntu will just forward the packets on | 05:56 |
| teknoprep | flexgrip, actually you need to do this ... echo "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" >> /etc/resolv.conf | 05:56 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : Try http://www.richard.zonnet.nl/cgi-bin/nph-proxycheck | 05:56 |
| il12_ | wweasel: alright, then. Thank you. I bought an Ubuntu book, even though it's for Feisty, but I figured that at least most things would be similar, just with some updated versions. | 05:56 |
| il12_ | wweasel: tyvm2 | 05:56 |
| il12_ | !!* | 05:56 |
| teknoprep | TigranG, no i mean from what program | 05:56 |
| TigranG | oh | 05:56 |
| TigranG | k | 05:56 |
| th0r | teknoprep I think that will screw a working resolv.conf | 05:56 |
| TigranG | :) | 05:56 |
| ikon | tritium: i am uploading a file to a webpage | 05:56 |
| wweasel | il12_: Is it a hardware modem or a winmodem? | 05:56 |
| ikon | from my pc | 05:56 |
| flexgrip | do i just need to know my dns servers real ip? because i can just get it from my router. | 05:56 |
| teknoprep | th0r, no it will just add a new line to the resolv.conf | 05:57 |
| reportingsjr | How do I make files like batch files for terminal? I'm getting tired of cding to certain directories and just want to run a file to do it. | 05:57 |
| mytruehero | flatline-kun: I found that site, but I'm unfortunately not on the machine I need to test. My Ubuntu server is a VPS which I only have console access to. | 05:57 |
| il12_ | wweasel: it's an internal modem on this laptop. | 05:57 |
| snugg | th0r: not easily if one side is on different subnet | 05:57 |
| teknoprep | th0r, with his new nameserver | 05:57 |
| phantomcircuit | well it's weird because i cant do things using the live cd that would seem to require a very large amount of RAM but when i try to install it fails | 05:57 |
| phantomcircuit | ? | 05:57 |
| teknoprep | th0r, if you only did one > | 05:57 |
| TigranG | reportingsjr: make scripts with bash | 05:57 |
| teknoprep | th0r, then it would overwrite the file | 05:57 |
| flexgrip | echo "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" >> /etc/resolv.conf - is xxx.xxx. the real ip of my dns server? or what do i put there? | 05:57 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : can you use links2? | 05:58 |
| teknoprep | flexgrip, yes | 05:58 |
| flexgrip | ok | 05:58 |
| th0r | teknoprep that ip is already in resolv.conf. | 05:58 |
| flexgrip | one second. i will try it and be back | 05:58 |
| Lagginator | what's the command to delete a file? | 05:58 |
| Shpook | Alright, I just tried re-installing the ALSA drivers, that didn't work. Now I'm gonna try and get the specific driver my my audio, and pray that it works. After this, I'm fresh out of ideas. | 05:58 |
| teknoprep | th0r, is it? | 05:58 |
| th0r | teknoprep resolv.conf on ubuntu works....he needs to get that ip into the xbox | 05:58 |
| ikon | teknoprep: how can i see if i am already uploading something from my pc with ubuntu to a webpage? there is no progress bar, so, i need a command to know | 05:58 |
| th0r | teknoprep the problem is in getting the xbox to work through ubuntu | 05:58 |

| teknoprep | th0r, getting the xbox working with ubuntu how? | 05:59 |
| wweasel | il12_: Ok, well I must warn you that, regrettably modem support is quite poor under Linux. Some modems simply will not work. Many you can get to work, but the process is somewhat difficult, I suppose especially so if you're new to Linux. | 05:59 |
| teknoprep | th0r, what does he want to do with it? | 05:59 |
| th0r | teknoprep he is trying to route the xbox (eth0) through ubuntu and out on wlan0 to the internet | 05:59 |

| flexgrip | teknoprep: xbox -> eth0 -> wlan0 -> internet | 05:59 |
| teknoprep | ikon, you could try ntop | 05:59 |
| reportingsjr | ac7ss: Thanks! | 05:59 |
| ikon | teknoprep: no | 05:59 |
| flexgrip | ubuntu inbetween eth0 and wlan0 | 06:00 |
| reportingsjr | ac7ss: Where is that file? | 06:00 |
| ikon | teknoprep: ok | 06:00 |
| th0r | teknoprep ubuntu is working, it is the xbox and the routing he is working on | 06:00 |
| teknoprep | ikon, ntop can map out ports and ip addys or traffic inbound and outbound to all network cards | 06:00 |
| === tender is now known as [ID]-4872 | ||
| mytruehero | flatline-kun: I've never used it before... I installed it, let me see if I can make it work! | 06:00 |
| teknoprep | th0r, what routing | 06:00 |
| teknoprep | th0r, is his ubuntu server the firewall also ? | 06:00 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : 'links2 http://www.richard.zonnet.nl/cgi-bin/nph-proxycheck' | 06:00 |
| th0r | flexgrip that dns address needs to go into the xbox...just take the address from /etc/resolv.conf and copy it to the xbox | 06:00 |
| zenrium | shpook: there is a fix on this page in regards to aumix you might like to try if your all out of options - http://graynoise.konfuzo.net/poots.php | 06:00 |

| wweasel | Could anyone give me some help with my mouse and, presumably, xorg.conf? My thumbbutton opens up a panel, very annoyingly, and I can't figure how I would get it not to. | 06:01 |
| teknoprep | wweasel, if you are using ubuntu with gnome... look at your mouse options | 06:01 |
| teknoprep | wweasel, under system | 06:02 |
| mytruehero | flatline-kun: It found no open proxies. I should be relieved, but I'd feel better if I could figure out why I tripped the spam list's filter and lock it down. Hmm. | 06:02 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : Where was the email from? | 06:02 |
| pablocpg | hello, somebody can help me, i have a really trouble, i am new to ubuntu, the issue, is that right now i have installed ubuntu 7.10, but when i restart my laptop it doesn't shows anything until it reach the login screen | 06:02 |
| teknoprep | you know whats amusing.. is that vista can't run on an ati 7500 but comiz can... with better looking eyecandy then vista will ever give | 06:02 |
| th0r | wweasel http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-506409.html | 06:02 |
| wweasel | teknoprep: You mean System > Preferences > Mouse? That is a minimal control panel. Certainly doesn't control the mouse buttons' behaviour. | 06:02 |
| pablocpg | other trouble that i have is don't have sound | 06:03 |
| mytruehero | flatline-kun: http://cbl.abuseat.org/faq.html | 06:03 |
| phantomcircuit | i seem to be bleeding | 06:03 |
| flexgrip | th0r: ok resolve.conf gave me 192.168.1.1 | 06:03 |
| pablocpg | i guess is because my laptop is a toshiba satellite l35 sp1011, somebody knows about my problem? | 06:03 |
| TigranG | your router | 06:03 |
| flexgrip | th0r: so i put that in the xbox360 and it didnt work. then i got the real dns ip from my router and that didnt work either | 06:03 |
| teknoprep | wweasel, i would ask the guys in #gnome .. they can help you with that better then here | 06:04 |
| teknoprep | flexgrip, what are you trying to do? | 06:04 |
| snugg | flexgrip: it will not work because they are in different subnets, the dns server in your router is not getting the correct request from xbox | 06:04 |
| wweasel | teknoprep: It has nothing to do with Gnome, AFAIK. Mouse buttons are controlled by the Xserver, not the window manager really. | 06:04 |
| teknoprep | flexgrip, i can point you in the right direction | 06:04 |
| flexgrip | ok | 06:04 |
| flexgrip | here is the map of what im doing | 06:04 |
| teknoprep | wweasel, then change the mouse button using xorg.conf | 06:05 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : Are you running an SMTP server? | 06:05 |
| th0r | flexgrip you might have a problem using the same network on both wlan0 and eth0....need to tell the router to forward 192.168.1.66 to 192.168.1.10...and I don't think that can be done | 06:05 |
| teknoprep | wweasel, to do that you would join #xorg | 06:05 |
| aLeSD | hi all | 06:05 |
| ikon | teknoprep: what command i should use? | 06:05 |
| phantomcircuit | !Alternate CD | 06:05 |
| ubotu | The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal | 06:05 |
| wweasel | teknoprep: This is the best support channel for my problem to my knowledge. | 06:05 |
| teknoprep | ikon, to do what? | 06:05 |
| ushimitsudoki | wweasel: you could use xev to check your mappings and then search gconf-editor to see if some app is picking up on that (I am assuming you already checked xorg.conf) | 06:05 |
| aLeSD | how can I set the virtual console resolution to 1280x800x8 ? | 06:05 |
| zcat[1] | flexgrip: typically your router will act as a DNS proxy and by default, provides it's own address as DNS when it answers a DHCP request.. | 06:05 |
| th0r | wweasel, that link I sent has an example of a five button mouse and settings in xorg.conf | 06:05 |
| ushimitsudoki | wweasel: just a thought | 06:05 |
| ikon | teknoprep: to see uploadings from my pc | 06:05 |
| teknoprep | wweasel, actually i would suggest www.google.com | 06:06 |
| aLeSD | I mean what I have to add in grub conf file ? | 06:06 |
| adamonline46 | Does anyone have any idea why I have to be root in order to view MSHOME from Ubuntu? | 06:06 |
| teknoprep | ikon, you have to ready | 06:06 |
| chraso | hello chennal | 06:06 |

| teknoprep | later all | 06:06 |
| chraso | i would like to know if ubuntu with compiz will work with my sysconfig? | 06:06 |
| flexgrip | teknoprep: xbox360 --> eth0 ---ubuntu---> wlan0 ---> router/internet | 06:06 |
| mytruehero | flatline-kun: I use the machine as a webserver and I installed sendmail which one of my sites uses to send messages from a contact form to my email address. Besides that, I didn't set up anything that involves email. | 06:06 |
| pablocpg | somebody can help me? | 06:07 |
| th0r | aLeSD give me a sec | 06:07 |

| aLeSD | I was thinking in vga=0x360 | 06:07 |
| aLeSD | th0r: thanks | 06:07 |
| snugg | flexgrip: what subnet is xbox and what subnet is wlan0 at? | 06:07 |
| aLeSD | the catalist 7.2 works | 06:07 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : You got blacklisted because you have an open relay on your smtp server. This means that ANYONE can connect to your server and send e-mail from it anonymously. | 06:07 |
| aLeSD | in the end | 06:07 |
| ikon | how can i use ntop to see my uploadings? | 06:07 |
| th0r | aLeSD all I have is 1280x800....set vga=0x361 | 06:08 |

| TigranG | Anyway to get my built-in sd card reader on a laptop to work? I put in a sd card and nt is mounted | 06:09 |

| nickrud | th0r, where'd you pick up that vga for 1280x800, I've been searching ... | 06:09 |
| ikon | now what crushin_ ? | 06:09 |
| crushin_ | ikon open a terminal and type "ntop | 06:09 |
| crushin_ | no ' | 06:09 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : go here and type in your server's IP - http://www.spamhelp.org/shopenrelay/ | 06:09 |
| snugg | flexgrip: i suggest putting the xbox into like 192.168.200.x and leave the wlan0 at that 192.168.1.x | 06:09 |
| th0r | nickrud I cheated...suse 10.3 set it at install | 06:09 |
| flexgrip | snugg: basically im trying to share my internet connection on wlan0 to my xbox on eth0 | 06:09 |
| ikon | that not works crushin_ | 06:10 |
| flexgrip | snugg: should i set eth0 to that subnet as well? | 06:10 |
| snugg | flexgrip: i know you want to share, just do it differently thats all | 06:10 |

| wweasel | teknoprep, th0r, ushimitsudoki: http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/2271/mouseproblemji3.png - this panel opens. I figure it can be fixed in xorg.conf, but I'm not sure why it's happening in the first place. | 06:10 |
| crushin_ | what distro ? | 06:10 |
| nickrud | th0r, that's not cheating, that's creative appropriation. Thanks | 06:10 |
| ikon | ubuntu | 06:10 |
| snugg | flexgrip: off course being eth0 is in same subnet as the xbox | 06:10 |

| wweasel | TigranG: gah, i can never figure out how many buttons are on a mouse in linux. Scroll Up and Scroll down are considered 2 buttons, scrolls sides aren't... | 06:11 |
| emosamurai | How do I load a new window manager into my installation? | 06:11 |
| tritium | crushin_: that's meaningless | 06:11 |
| mytruehero | flatline-kun: Same result. | 06:11 |
| TigranG | wweasel: left click, right click, back/forward? | 06:11 |
| aslan | emosamurai: could you be more specific? | 06:11 |
| ushimitsudoki | wweasel: when you click anywhere? That menu should show on a right click on a title bar I think | 06:12 |
| emosamurai | I want Enlightenment, but I can't find it on Synaptic. This is so noob, I know. | 06:12 |
| aslan | ae you trying to install kde or what? | 06:12 |
| aslan | ah ok | 06:12 |
| TigranG | wweasel: is it the back/forward button that opens up that menu | 06:12 |
| aslan | e17? | 06:12 |
| wweasel | ushimitsudoki: Yep! | 06:12 |
| xtknight | well i just decided to mount the iso with loopback device and use "cp *" instead of extract here. cp gives proper filenames | 06:12 |
| emosamurai | Oh, wait. Packaged search. Thanks, Aslan. | 06:12 |
| wweasel | ushimitsudoki, TigranG: The forward button opens it when I click anywhere. | 06:12 |

| ikon | that works | 06:12 |
| chupaaaa | aaaaaaaaaaaai | 06:12 |
| mytruehero | flatline-kun: I ran nmap on my ip, and the only ports open were 22, 80, two ports that I have web servers listening on, and 5060 (which is the only one I don't recognize) | 06:12 |
| chupaaaa | masturbation | 06:12 |
| crushin_ | ikon .gr8 | 06:13 |
| th0r | xtknight you should look at fuseiso for mounting an iso | 06:13 |
| chupaaaa | ooh ooh ooh ooh uhh uhh uhh | 06:13 |
| ushimitsudoki | wweasel: first step is identy the button, use xev and see what button is being signaled | 06:13 |
| SpamInaCan | Hi Ya | 06:13 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : 5060 is a VOIP port | 06:13 |
| wweasel | TigranG: It has standard 3 buttons, scroll goes in 4 directions, has 2 browser back/forward thumb buttons + 3 useless tiny buttons for zoom or wtvr. Logitech MX600 mouse. | 06:13 |
| mytruehero | flatline-kun: Yeah, that's what I saw when I googled... not sure why it's open, though. | 06:13 |
| aslan | wweasel: have you tried btnx ? | 06:14 |
| TigranG | wweasel: Yea I've seen a tutorial that adds to xorg.conf file for back/forward to work | 06:14 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : What version of sendmail do you have installed? | 06:14 |
| SpamInaCan | i only have a wifi connection (i have no access to the router it is locked up in my dads room.... so i cant mess with it :( lol) i have a bcm43xx card and i need to download everything on windows for the upgrade to ubuntu linux 7.10 so i need to know everything i need to download first in windows to get my wireless card working without internet | 06:14 |
| ikon | now what crushin? | 06:14 |
| wweasel | aslan, TigranG: I've used btnx to get back/forward to work properly. That's not my concern. Every time I use the forward button, it goes forward, but it also opens that damn panel :P | 06:14 |
| mytruehero | flatline-kun: 1.8, it looks like | 06:15 |
| aslan | wweasel: which panel? | 06:15 |
| crushin_ | Ikon that should show youi any uploads and or downloads . | 06:15 |
| aslan | wweasel: sorry I missed your question | 06:15 |
| TigranG | aslan: right click drop down menu | 06:15 |
| Task1 | Sound Blasters isnt supported by linux? | 06:15 |
| crushin_ | task1 yes it is | 06:15 |
| wweasel | ushimitsudoki: Ok, I'm trying to do that. The xev output is rather complex. It should tell me what button # it is, right? | 06:15 |
| ikon | crushin_: it dont show anything | 06:15 |
| vegpuff | what is the kernel version for ubuntu 5.04? | 06:15 |
| ramrebol | hola a todos | 06:15 |

| wweasel | aslan: Whenever i use the forward thumbbutton in any window, this panel opens: http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/2271/mouseproblemji3.png | 06:16 |
| flexgrip | snugg: ok i set eth0 and the xbox on a diff subnet. then told the xbox that the dns server was eth0 wlan0 my router and my real dns server ip and none of them worked. | 06:16 |
| crushin_ | !wireless | 06:16 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:16 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : Here's a page about closing the sendmail relay. | 06:16 |
| ushimitsudoki | wweasel: look for the "ButtonPress" or "ButtonRelease" events ... the next to last parameter will show the button map number | 06:16 |
| vegpuff | silent_: isn't the kernel version specific for a specific download of ubuntu? | 06:16 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : Here's a page about closing the sendmail relay - http://www.uic.edu/depts/accc/ecomm/openrelay.html | 06:16 |
| th0r | SpamInaCan you need to download the ubuntu 7.10 live cd, burn it to cd and install from there | 06:17 |
| wweasel | ushimitsudoki: Button 3. | 06:17 |
| snugg | flexgrip: you still need to run port forwarding in your ubuntu and perhaps even run dhcpd server plus NAT | 06:17 |
| ushimitsudoki | wweasel: i won't hurt to check all your buttons while you are in there for future reference, BTW | 06:17 |
| flexgrip | snugg: anything in synaptic that can handle all of that? | 06:17 |
| aLeSD_ | vga=0x361 doesn't work | 06:17 |
| th0r | SpamInaCan you should be able to get the wifi working from the live cd before you even install ubuntu. | 06:17 |
| mytruehero | flatline-kun: Hmm, perhaps I'm not really running version 1.8. How can I tell what version I have installed? | 06:18 |
| snugg | flexgrip: the dhcp server is perhaps, the other two is handled by iptables thats already in ubuntu | 06:18 |
| wweasel | ushimitsudoki: It gives interesing output between buttonpress and buttonrelease. Pastebinning it so you can look at it. | 06:18 |
| Shpook | Well, ubotu helped me get my sound working with a link it provided, but it still wasn't coming through the speakers. Did you know that the "mic" input on the soundcard won't output sound? lol It's fixed now. | 06:18 |
| TigranG | wweasel: the reason you get that menu is cause that button is mapped as button 3, if you edit the xorg.conf file it will be fixed. just my 2 cents | 06:18 |
| TigranG | wweasel: thats how it was for me | 06:18 |
| TigranG | wweasel: speaking from experience | 06:18 |

| adamonline46 | From Ubuntu, I can access my network's samba shares as root, but not as a regular user... Any ideas, anyone? | 06:19 |
| th0r | snugg the problem he will have is at the router. The router will forward anything on it's subnet (192.168.1.x) out on the wifi, but it won't know what to do with the 192.168.200.x for the xbox | 06:19 |
| zcat[1] | how can anyone 'accidentally' run an open relay these days? by default sendmail is locked down tighter than a swiss back last time I checked, it takes effort to make it less secure.. | 06:19 |
| SpamInaCan | and on the live cd i have no internet :( | 06:19 |
| zcat[1] | *bank | 06:19 |
| ikon | what can i do crushin_? | 06:19 |
| th0r | SpamInaCan not sure...don't have any experience with that. I thought the bcm43xx module was included with ubuntu...but might be wrong. The live cd would be the way to know. | 06:20 |
| wweasel | ushimitsudoki, TigranG: I figured that would be the gist of it. That would be: Option "ButtonMappings "a b c d e", correct? How do I get that done properly? | 06:20 |
| snugg | th0r: it would know once he has the NAT working and port_forwarding working | 06:20 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : from the server, 'telnet localhost 25' will tell you which version you are running. | 06:20 |

| TigranG | wweasel: can't remember off the top of my head, but google will find it for you | 06:20 |
| SpamInaCan | th0r it have the stuff to get it working..., but only if u have a hardline to get internet to download the needed stuff | 06:20 |
| oddie | when is ubuntu 8 scheduled to come out? | 06:20 |

| th0r | snugg a packet coming in from the net addressed to 192.168.200.x...would hit the router first, and the router doesn't have NAT | 06:21 |
| boselecta | for one thing my messages log file is filling up with "Dec 29 23:14:58 localhost parport0: INFO: open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds... " | 06:21 |

| mytruehero | flatline-kun: Ah, ok. I'm actually running version 8.14.1 | 06:21 |
| crushin_ | SpamInaCan, do you have access to a thumb drive .or any external device? | 06:21 |
| uzerzero | SpamInaCan: if you're on irc right now, why not download the firmware, put it on a thumbdrive, and then install it in ubuntu? | 06:21 |
| ikon | crushin_: firefox | 06:21 |
| boselecta | but i don't know if that's the cause. also my system seems not to use any of its swap space. | 06:21 |
| SpamInaCan | i have a 120gb external hd ^_^ | 06:21 |
| snugg | th0r: the router already have, it is able to nat his wlan0 which is 192.168.1.x | 06:21 |
| th0r | snugg as Iunderstand it...anything that isn't the wifi router's subnet would be sent out the ethernet towards the internet | 06:21 |

| zcat[1] | all you need is the bcm43xx-fwcutter package and firmware download.. install the package, cut the firmware manually, then your wifi should be working and you can get everything else via that | 06:21 |
| shadowh511 | mytruehero: are you from the future? | 06:21 |
| TigranG | wweasel: Yep, set to button 3, right click | 06:22 |
| crushin_ | ure *uploading to ubuntu site using firefox? | 06:22 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : hrmmm...supposedly with that version the relay is closed. | 06:22 |
| TigranG | wweasel: Once you edit xorg.conf it will be fixed | 06:22 |
| ushimitsudoki | wwweasel: that output is to be expected, xev reports on lots of events...in this case you are just trying to determine your button mappings so you can set up xorg.conf correctly | 06:22 |
| SpamInaCan | where do i get bcm43xx-fwcutter?, and where do i get the firmware? | 06:22 |
| rkj | Can anybody help me with a problem configuring dual monitors? | 06:22 |
| snugg | th0r: nothing is forwarded by the router unless it has a destination it recognized | 06:22 |
| th0r | snugg yeah...you're right....it would have the port assignment from the outgiong packet...nevermind...brain fart | 06:22 |
| SpamInaCan | and lastly how do i cut it myself and where do i cut it to/? | 06:22 |
| TigranG | wweasel: You're using a different program to configure forward/backward, that's why you're getting both of the actions happening | 06:22 |
| mytruehero | shadowh511: v8.14.1 of sendmail :P | 06:22 |
| zcat[1] | SpamInaCan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405219 has a few links.. I think they link to the package somewhere in there.. | 06:22 |

| boselecta | for one thing my messages log file is filling up with "Dec 29 23:14:58 localhost parport0: INFO: open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds... " but i don't know if that's the cause. also my system seems not to use any of its swap space. i think it's related to a bunch of updates, including a kernel update that were recently installed. | 06:23 |
| wweasel | TigranG: Right. Thought that's slightly immaterial, because standard procedure is to use imwheel to configure back/forward, i'm just using btnx, which i believe is a bit more advanced and goes beyond just xorg's button reporting. | 06:23 |
| rkj | shadowh511: what is "the hardy alpha"? | 06:23 |
| jariep1_ | hi there jariell | 06:23 |
| boselecta | and my disk is thrashing | 06:24 |

| jariep1_ | fellas how are you | 06:24 |
| jariep1_ | anybody talking about crumpets and scones | 06:24 |
| zcat[1] | Was easier for me.. I plugged in my rt2400 card, and used that to download the packages I needed to get the inbuilt bcm43xx working.. | 06:24 |
| TigranG | wweasel: The problem is xorg here, its mapped to do that, you need to change it | 06:24 |
| wweasel | TigranG: You're right. My "back" button = button 2, and forward is button 3, right click. | 06:24 |

| mytruehero | shadowh511: Yes. I've come back in time to fix a problem on my webserver that will eventually result in the destruction of the internet and the end of western civilization. You'd better start thinking about helping me! | 06:24 |
| boselecta | and me too! | 06:25 |
| shadowh511 | its the alpha build of ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) | 06:25 |
| wweasel | TigranG: I'd love to learn what the 'Option "ButtonMapping"' line is doing, and what it means. Time for some man pages and trial and error, me thinks. | 06:25 |
| netlarlinux | I am using xfce volume control on Xubuntu, I do not see where I can adjust the balance, can someone help me? | 06:25 |

| wweasel | Shpook: Oh! I thought you were helping me out :P Good luck with your mouse buttons :) | 06:25 |
| biff420 | any ideas? | 06:25 |
| netlarlinux | I tried to run gnome-volume-control, does not seem to work, cannot get into the program | 06:25 |
| crushin_ | Ikon . I am stumped . maybe there is another here who has more information than me . If you have any up or downloads going then top or ntop should show you if you are using firefox. | 06:25 |
| TigranG | wweasel: on my attemps for trial and error for the mouse, I couldn't log in | 06:26 |
| wweasel | TigranG: Not to worry. I've been around linux long enough :) | 06:26 |
| shadowh511 | then run this line in a terminal 'sudo update-manager -d' to upgrade to 7.10 then again to upgrade to 8.04 | 06:26 |

| Shpook | wweasel: I've been in and out and not watching chat. :-) Mapping on this trackball is tricky though. Thank you! | 06:26 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : I dunno. The other possibility is that there is a bug in your contact me code and someone has used it to send spam. | 06:26 |
| TigranG | wweasel: heh :) | 06:26 |
| chable | i installed firefox from source | 06:26 |
| th0r | SpamInaCan and here http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 06:26 |
| chable | but i dont see the icon in the menu | 06:26 |
| chable | im using gnome | 06:26 |

| ikon | some here who knows how to use ntop? | 06:26 |
| wweasel | TigranG: This mouse is really ridiculous though. xev is telling me it has 8 buttons :P | 06:26 |
| TigranG | wweasel: lol | 06:27 |
| wweasel | TigranG: And linux just ignores it's useless "zoom" buttons. | 06:27 |
| rkj | shadowh511: I have a hunch that will cause more problems than it will fix. | 06:27 |
| tritium | chable: you didn't need to do that | 06:27 |
| SpamInaCan | does ubuntu 7.10 come with debconf 0.5 or greater, libc6 (2.4.4-1 or greater)???? | 06:27 |
| chable | what do you mean tritium | 06:27 |
| TigranG | wweasel: Yea, it recognizes the email button on my mouse but not the chat | 06:27 |
| tritium | chable: ubuntu comes with firefox | 06:27 |

" but i don't know if that's the cause. also my system seems not to use any of its swap space. and my disk is thrashing. i think it's related to a bunch of updates, including a kernel update | 06:27 |
| boselecta | that were recently installed. | 06:27 |
| chable | testing it | 06:27 |
| netlarlinux | It must be something obvious | 06:27 |
| ikon | some here who knows how to use ntop? | 06:27 |
| chable | and it had iceweasel | 06:27 |
| shadowh511 | rkj: if anything, it will give you more desktop effects and stability | 06:27 |
| wweasel | SpamInaCan: I could check that for you, but you can too. From the terminal, do "apt-cache show <package name>" | 06:27 |
| biff420 | i am trying to start pidgin...its loads up to where i can see it in system monitor but there is no window or anything else on the desktop...any ideas? | 06:27 |
| * TigranG loves the random spasms of chatting in this channel | 06:28 | |
| uzerzero | biff420: are you sure you're on the right virtual desktop? | 06:28 |
| chable | so i removed iceweasel and got firefox | 06:28 |
| SpamInaCan | wweasel i am on windows looking to upgrade to linux but i need everything to get wifi working without a network connection first | 06:28 |

| wweasel | SpamInaCan: http://packages.ubuntu.com | 06:28 |
| shadowh511 | biff420: pidgin was installed either installed incorrectly or it is minimised into the system tray | 06:28 |

| SpamInaCan | wweasel how do i tell if it comes with a standard 7.10 install | 06:29 |
| SpamInaCan | ? | 06:29 |

| arlbee | is it available in the Synaptic package Manager ? | 06:30 |
| tritium | shadowh511: there is a reinstall option | 06:30 |

| flatline-kun | mytruehero : It's not even necessary for someone to have actually SENT spam from your server...just the possibility is enough to get blacklisted on some of these sites. | 06:31 |

| wweasel | SpamInaCan: Hmm...I'm quite sure they both do. Without a doubt libc does, debconf I believe so. Worst comes to worst you boot back into Windows, download the deb off packages.ubuntu.org, and isntall it that way. | 06:31 |

| wweasel | SpamInaCan: Good luck :) | 06:33 |
| zcat[1] | SpamInaCan: if you have a bcm43xx and no other way of connecting, I would suggest you resize windows but keep it. broadcom support is pretty flakey and you'll need some other way of accessing the net if/when it breaks. | 06:33 |
| flatline-kun | mytruehero : NP...I've been there. Mail servers are tricky on Linux. I wouldn't worry too much about it. | 06:34 |

" but i don't know if that's the cause. also my system seems not to use any of its swap space. and my disk is thrashing. i think it's related to recent updates, perhaps the kernal update? | 06:34 |

| boselecta | gutsy i think | 06:35 |
| SpamInaCan | where do i get the firmware file for the bcm43xx? | 06:35 |

| shadowh511 | try booting from a livecd | 06:36 |
| uzerzero | shadowh511: same reason that nobody uses vista and they use XP.. things get better as they age | 06:36 |
| boselecta | flatline-kun: physically remove? or uninstall? | 06:36 |
| shadowh511 | i dont use vista cuz it takes 10 min to SHUT DOWN | 06:36 |
| crushin_ | SpamInaCan, > http://langerland.de/linux/bcm43xx/firmware.html | 06:36 |
| SpamInaCan | should i use feisty???, or gutsy? | 06:36 |
| mattholimea1 | hmm - should i be using feisty? i'm a noob who downloaded gutsy | 06:36 |
| boselecta | flatline-kun: i've already unplugged the printer, no effect. | 06:36 |
| shadowh511 | reboot then | 06:37 |
| snurtle | anyone know how to find the directory for my logitech usb controller for snes9express | 06:37 |

| biff420 | when i try and install ubuntu on my sli setup...it uses the wrong card...is there a way during boot to change the bus id for the video card so I can install | 06:37 |
| uzerzero | SpamInaCan: i have had great experience using ndiswrapper under feisty on my bcm4310. it wouldn't work underneath gutsy which listed it as a bcm4312. what model number is your card? | 06:37 |
| flatline-kun | boselecta: system > administration > printing | 06:38 |
| ikon | some here who knows how to use ntop? | 06:38 |
| SpamInaCan | i have no clue what bcm43xx card i have (how can i tell from windows) | 06:38 |
| boselecta | flatline-kun: i deleted the Laserjet-1100 printer | 06:38 |
| flatline-kun | boseleca: remove everything except the Print-to-PDF | 06:38 |
| rkj | is there a command for interrogating the current video mode settings? | 06:38 |
| uzerzero | SpamInaCan: try looking under Device Manager | 06:38 |
| shadowh511 | omg, i just noticed that my physical wifi switch was off, but i was able to connect to my wi-fi LOL | 06:38 |
| zcat[1] | uzerzero: I've had terrible experiences with trying to use ndiswrapper (never got it to work) and great experiences with the open source drivers .. I guess it depends on the card. | 06:38 |
| crushin_ | start/programs/accessorys/systemtools/sysinfo | 06:38 |
| flatline-kun | boseleca: Was there a zip drive installed perchance? | 06:39 |
| ikon | some here who knows how to use ntop? | 06:39 |
| shadowh511 | try #ntop | 06:39 |
| boselecta | no never | 06:39 |
| uzerzero | zcat[1]: my only complaint with ndiswrapper is that whenever i am doing large data transfers, it will sometimes cause my entire computer to lock up. i am experimenting with gutsy to see if i can get the native drivers working, but still no luck. | 06:39 |
| shadowh511 | then report a bug on launchpad | 06:39 |
| zcat[1] | SpamInaCan: seriously, if you do not have some other reliable way of downloading and transferring files, I would dual-boot.. even if you only leave windows with a tiny amount of space.. | 06:40 |
| boselecta | flatline-kun: however the last "localhost last message repeated 2 times" message i was expecting related to the parallel port did not appear | 06:40 |
| boselecta | flatline-kun: i don't know if that cures my performance issue or not... | 06:40 |
| boselecta | the system still doesn't want to use the swap. | 06:40 |
| zcat[1] | uzerzero: try this perhaps? http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/ | 06:40 |
| SpamInaCan | zcat[1] windows is using 76gb out of 80gb i am wiping because i don't wanna sort through everything i just want it to be gone (lol) | 06:40 |
| flatline-kun | boseleca: Only way to find out is to let the system run and see if performance improves. | 06:41 |
| flatline-kun | boseleca: You won't use swap unless you need it. | 06:41 |
| shadowh511 | 76 GB, What do you have installed? | 06:41 |
| boselecta | flatline-kun: i'll try starting firefox and see what happens... thanks | 06:41 |
| flatline-kun | boseleca: Swap is used when RAM gets full. | 06:41 |
| zcat[1] | SpamInaCan: oh dear..... well, I can't guarantee that you will get the bcm card working first time. I can almost guarantee you won't.. | 06:41 |
| SpamInaCan | shadowh511 mostly c**p lol that i will never use again.... | 06:41 |
| shadowh511 | its ok, my vista laptop came with 1/2 the drive eaten | 06:42 |
| uzerzero | zcat[1]: thanks, i will try those out when i'm done copying these discs | 06:42 |
| shadowh511 | damn toshiba | 06:42 |
| uzerzero | SpamInaCan: why not try to install the bcm43xx drivers via the livecd and see if they work? | 06:42 |
| SpamInaCan | ow | 06:42 |
| zcat[1] | SpamInaCan: another option, get a well suppoprted usb or pc-card that you can use to sort out the bcm drivers.. | 06:42 |
| boselecta | flatline-kun: there's only about 512M installed on this machine i think, so i sort of expected the swap to be used. | 06:42 |
| praveer_fedora | Can anyone point out to good guide as to howto setup personal lan on ubuntu server? | 06:43 |
| SpamInaCan | uzerzero i only have 512mb of ram how can i install something on a live cd neways? | 06:43 |
| * Task1 Hopes this works | 06:43 | |
| === Task1 is now known as Task | ||
| flatline-kun | boseleca: Not necessarily. I think my average RAM usage is around 300M and that's running Xchat, Firefox, Pidgin, etc... | 06:43 |
| crushin_ | !lan | 06:43 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lan - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:43 |
| shadowh511 | Spaminacan, i suggest you wipe and install hardy http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ | 06:43 |
| praveer_fedora | I set it up correctly afaik but isnt working | 06:43 |
| shadowh511 | 512 ram, use alternate installer | 06:44 |
| SpamInaCan | why hardy?, isn | 06:44 |
| SpamInaCan | 't that really old? | 06:44 |
| shadowh511 | pm me on another computer and i will help you | 06:44 |
| shadowh511 | hardy is NEW | 06:44 |
| zcat[1] | hoary is really old, hardy is really new | 06:44 |
| crushin_ | !hardy > shadowh511 | 06:44 |
| zcat[1] | !hoary | 06:44 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) was the second release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 31, 2006. See !eol for more details. | 06:44 |
| zcat[1] | !hardy | 06:44 |
| ubotu | Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 06:44 |
| SpamInaCan | how long does ubuntu take to download for people | 06:45 |
| uzerzero | SpamInaCan: in that case, i would download a few different versions of the firmware and put them on your external and then try each of them out. google bcm43xx firmware | 06:45 |
| shadowh511 | uh, no such channel | 06:45 |
| tritium | SpamInaCan: faster than my dog could do it | 06:45 |
| shadowh511 | let it download overnight | 06:45 |
| flatline-kun | boseleca: You should check out the System Monitor ( System > Administration > System Monitor ) The Resources tab will give you CPU and memory info. | 06:45 |
| nickrud | ta-dum | 06:45 |
| zcat[1] | SpamInaCan: takes me about 5 minutes down at the colo .. a few hours at home | 06:45 |
| uzerzero | SpamInaCan: depends on your internet connection. i can typically download the iso in around 10 minutes on my connection. | 06:45 |
| shadowh511 | 4 me its a few hours, but it depends on your connection | 06:45 |
| praveer_fedora | I setup the present computer on eth1 as static ip 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 in /etc/hosts, then configured ip on the other machine as 192.168.0.2 static, bith are connected using 10/100 mbps 8 port ethernet switch | 06:46 |
| SpamInaCan | my net is slow for some reason :-\, it wants 4hours for the source system..., normally i download at 1mps (1024KB/sec) but i am getting 30KB/s :-\ | 06:46 |
| shadowh511 | if its FIOS, its gonna be 30 seconds | 06:46 |
| praveer_fedora | but i am unable to ping either of machines to another one | 06:46 |
| SpamInaCan | i have a 10mps connection ^_^ | 06:46 |
| shadowh511 | start it before you go to bed | 06:46 |
| nickrud | SpamInaCan, if you can, try the torrents they can be quite fast | 06:46 |
| SpamInaCan | is there another mirror for this?, this source is 2 slow (lol) | 06:46 |
| shadowh511 | it'll be done in the morning | 06:46 |
| shadowh511 | the server is always slow, sorry | 06:47 |
| uzerzero | SpamInaCan: try one of the other mirrors. there are several listed on the ubuntu website. I find the Gatech library to be quite fast. | 06:47 |
| zcat[1] | a torrent might be faster? | 06:47 |
| * nickrud is amazed at suggestions of hardy for new people at this stage | 06:47 | |
| boselecta | flatline-kun: i was able to make it use swap by opening gimp and about 40 firefox windows. | 06:47 |
| zcat[1] | oh.. I see someone suggested that alrady :) | 06:47 |
| SpamInaCan | not enough peers for 8.04 lol | 06:48 |
| shadowh511 | nickrud: i work on hardy | 06:48 |
| flatline-kun | boseleca: You should check out the System Monitor ( System > Administration > System Monitor ) The Resources tab will give you live CPU and memory info. | 06:48 |
| SpamInaCan | on bt | 06:48 |
| shadowh511 | nickrud: i find bugs | 06:48 |
| zcat[1] | open a gigapixel image in GIMP, that should make it use some swap | 06:48 |
| nickrud | shadowh511, oh, then you got the support ticket :) | 06:48 |
| flatline-kun | praveer_fedora : do you have the router set up as the gateway? | 06:48 |
| zcat[1] | .. or probably kill it. | 06:48 |
| shadowh511 | im not employed, but i find about 30+ bugs a day | 06:48 |
| shadowh511 | to ubuntu that is | 06:49 |
| praveer_fedora | flatline-kun, I do not have a router, i want to use ubuntu server as router, i have two nics | 06:49 |
| Task | zfdkjhsdkjfhjhfdskjhfuewihfkuwhfkwehrfweiu I hate ATI!!!! | 06:49 |
| TigranG | Anyone know how to fix a built-in sd card reader for a laptop: not recognizing any card and dmesg shoes nothing but card is inserted | 06:49 |
| boselecta | This is what 40 firefox windows gets you, ad nauseam : A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script? | 06:49 |
| Task | could it be Compiz messin it up? | 06:49 |
| zcat[1] | praveer_fedora: install firestarter, makes setting that stuff up really easy | 06:49 |
| SpamInaCan | is ubuntu.com down? | 06:49 |
| praveer_fedora | zcat[1], infact i installed firestarter, but lan isnt working | 06:50 |
| donogameel | can someone help me? i'm running my laptop at 1280x800 res, and when i open some apps, the bottom part is below screen and i can't move it up to click Okay. how do i get around that? | 06:50 |
| xenthro | hi. I would like ubuntu to load some basic apps on startup. is there a package/config file where I can do this? | 06:50 |
| praveer_fedora | flatline-kun, both systems are connected via switch | 06:50 |
| SuperQ | SpamInaCan: seems fine to me | 06:50 |
| adamonline46 | From Ubuntu, can only view network computers as root... Any ideas anyone? Going on day 2.5 :( | 06:50 |
| TigranG | xentho->System->Pref->Sessions | 06:50 |
| SpamInaCan | i cant get on ubuntu..., everything else it working fine for me... | 06:50 |
| zcat[1] | praveer_fedora: you probably need to add a rule allowing your lan IP range to connect.. | 06:50 |
| uzerzero | xenthro: just add the commands to Sessions ( System -> Preferences -> Sessions) | 06:50 |
| xenthro | thanks all | 06:51 |
| boselecta | what is filesystem type fuseblk? | 06:51 |
| flatline-kun | praveer_fedora : ahhh...sorry...misread your question. I may be wrong, but you may have to install a DNS server on the system. | 06:51 |
| uzerzero | SpamInAcan: i can get on ubuntu.com fine | 06:51 |
| nickrud | !fuse | boselecta | 06:51 |
| praveer_fedora | zcat[1], but basically my lan itself isnt working, i am unable to ping 192.168.0.2 from 192.168.0.1 | 06:51 |
| ubotu | boselecta: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 06:51 |
| boselecta | thx nickrud | 06:51 |
| shadowh511 | donogameel: right-click on the program's bar on the taskbar (or dock icon if applicable) and choose "Resize" and drag upwards then press both mouse buttons, happens to me all the time | 06:51 |
| shadowh511 | or you could maximize it | 06:51 |
| SpamInaCan | :-\, one last question how can i encrypt my entire file system in blowfish using the asc method and be forced to enter a pass phrase each boot? | 06:51 |
| shadowh511 | uh... | 06:52 |
| steven_ | hi | 06:52 |
| boselecta | i'm going to try to reboot and see if it takes less than 15 minutes this time with the printer uninstalled... brb | 06:52 |
| shadowh511 | idk sry | 06:52 |
| boselecta | hopefully. | 06:52 |
| flatline-kun | praveer_fedora : http://ubuntulinuxhowto.blogspot.com/2006/06/setup-your-computer-to-be-router.html | 06:52 |
| zcat[1] | praveer_fedora: you do have the network cards the right way around? | 06:52 |
| SpamInaCan | 99% of my windows is encrypted ^_^ | 06:52 |
| shadowh511 | good luck boselecta | 06:52 |
| SpamInaCan | i cant even login without unencrypting ^_^ | 06:52 |
| steven_ | Hi can some one hlep me plz? | 06:52 |
| === pepez is now known as D_ReaL_PuNiShEr | ||
| praveer_fedora | zcat[1], eth0 connected to internet and eth1 to private lan switch | 06:53 |
| SpamInaCan | how can i do that on linux? | 06:53 |
| donogameel | shadowh511: i can't do that because this is a Preferences box in Evolution - it won't resize | 06:53 |
| praveer_fedora | zcat[1], eth1 is configured 192.168.0.1 | 06:53 |
| shadowh511 | i don't know how to do that but you should try OSX or PGP disk privacy | 06:53 |
| SuperQ | SpamInaCan: you can use root filesystem encryption on linux | 06:53 |
| SuperQ | SpamInaCan: I use it for my laptop | 06:54 |
| flatline-kun | praveer_fedora : Here's the official docs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router | 06:54 |
| shadowh511 | or you could setup a boot password in GRUB | 06:54 |
| nickrud | donogameel, reduce the font size. I've used evolution and never had that happen with a reasonable font size | 06:54 |
| zcat[1] | SpamInaCan: when you first partition the drive, one of the options is for an encrypted filesystem. Then it asks for a passphrase. Don't forget the passphrase, or no agency on earth will be able to recover your files for you... | 06:54 |
| praveer_fedora | flatline-kun, ty will try | 06:54 |
| shadowh511 | SuperQ: how do you that? | 06:54 |
| SpamInaCan | not even the nsa? | 06:54 |
| steven_ | Hi i have a quation about ubuntu and firefox not working right | 06:54 |
| shadowh511 | not even the nsa | 06:54 |
| zcat[1] | not even, as long as your passphrase is reasonably random and long enough | 06:54 |
| shadowh511 | steven_: sure, what is it? | 06:55 |
| donogameel | nickrud: thanks... font size was the problem | 06:55 |
| hello_ | Hello :) I have a question that might be outside of the scope of this room, but...if I run XP in a virtualised setting, do I need to get it a firewall? | 06:55 |
| SpamInaCan | but when i selected that option a long time ago (when 7.10 was in beta i was testing linux for use...) it didn't ask me for the password so i was locked out :( | 06:55 |
| steven_ | yes i just got ubunt the newst version and firefox cant not play flash? | 06:55 |
| shadowh511 | just use windows firewall | 06:55 |
| biff420 | i have a 64bit Athlon...should i get 64 bit or 32 bit ubuntu? | 06:55 |
| SuperQ | SpamInaCan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto | 06:55 |
| pteague | anybody know why ies4linux might be giving me segmentation faults ? am i missing certain packages or something? i have cabextract & wine installed | 06:55 |
| shadowh511 | steven_:you have to go into | 06:55 |
| zcat[1] | SpamInaCan: Odd... but I nstalled my laptop that way and there were no problems at all, so it seems to ork now! | 06:56 |
| nickrud | donogameel, np | 06:56 |
| vinicius | ifireball, got the IPs post? | 06:56 |
| SuperQ | SpamInaCan: it looks like you can do it on install with 7.10 (Gutsy) alternate CD | 06:56 |
| pengo__ | !bittorrent | 06:56 |
| ubotu | Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P | 06:56 |
| vinicius | ifireball, I did the ping with both computers to addons.mozilla.org | 06:56 |
| shadowh511 | add/remove programs and choose it (be sure to change the software source) | 06:56 |
| TigranG | Anyone know how to fix a built-in sd card reader for a laptop: not recognizing any card and dmesg shoes nothing but card is inserted | 06:56 |
| vinicius | ifireball, and they ping at the same IP | 06:56 |
| zcat[1] | Oh yeah... I used alternati.. the GUI installer might not have the option! | 06:56 |
| biff420 | should i get 64 bit or 32 bit ubuntu? | 06:56 |
| zcat[1] | biff420: yes. | 06:57 |
| steven_ | go in to what? | 06:57 |
| nickrud | !brokenflash | steven_ | 06:57 |
| ubotu | steven_: 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. | 06:57 |
| shadowh511 | biff420:it depends on your computer, but i would choose 32-bit just to be safe | 06:57 |
| zcat[1] | sorry, logical or.. you should get one of those! | 06:57 |
| biff420 | zcat[1]: which one? | 06:57 |
| biff420 | shadowh511: i have a 64bit proc | 06:57 |
| SpamInaCan | my dad has an ubuntu system (witch is how i found out about ubuntu...) i was wondering can i tunnel a wifi connection to the eithernet port and plug my laptop into the desktop and get internet from the desktop on the laptop? | 06:58 |
| shadowh511 | then get 64-bit linux to take full advantage of your computer | 06:58 |
| zcat[1] | I'd normally suggest 32, there doesn't seem to be a lot of advantage in 64 bit and there are some hassles with installing nonfree stuff which is normally only compiled for 32 bit | 06:58 |
| shadowh511 | spaninacan: use XP | 06:58 |
| steven_ | ok so thsn i have to wait for the fix to come out right ? | 06:58 |
| SpamInaCan | linux is on that system... | 06:58 |
| nrober | anyone have any experiences syncing songs ratings from ipod to computer? is it possible? | 06:58 |
| SpamInaCan | well only linux i should say | 06:58 |
| nickrud | steven_, either that or use the fix on that page that factoid points to | 06:59 |
| pengo__ | anyone seen a problem with Azuerus where it'll open then immediately close? but ubuntu detects no crash? | 06:59 |
| shadowh511 | amarok | 06:59 |
| zcat[1] | SpamInaCan: yes you can... install firestarter and you get a 'sare this cinnection' option just like 'doze has | 06:59 |
| shadowh511 | its in java then | 06:59 |
| zcat[1] | *share | 06:59 |
| steven_ | the fix has ben remevoed | 06:59 |
| nrober | amarok will copy ratings from ipod to computer? | 06:59 |
| steven_ | The fix for this bug has been removed from the proposed repository | 06:59 |
| nickrud | steven_, oh. | 06:59 |
| steven_ | yeah | 06:59 |
| steven_ | lol | 06:59 |
| shadowh511 | crap, try using alien to convert the package from adobe's website | 06:59 |

| nickrud | :) | 07:01 |
| bqmassey | nickrud: hehehe | 07:01 |
| nickrud | steven_, what processor you using? | 07:01 |
| arooni_ | does anyone know how to get bluetooth headphones working in gutsy???????? i can't get it working for the life of me! | 07:01 |

| steven_ | petuim 4 | 07:02 |
| bqmassey | is wine require a lot of resources? | 07:02 |
| nickrud | steven_, yes the 32bit | 07:02 |

| steven_ | ok | 07:02 |
| shadowh511 | arooni_: id need to help you ove vnc then | 07:02 |

| SuperQ | bqmassey: it's lighter weight than windows itself :) | 07:02 |
| arooni_ | shadowh511, huh? | 07:02 |
| bqmassey | SuperQ: what kind of hard drive space does it require to install? | 07:02 |
| zcat[1] | wine requires a lot of patience.. getting anything more complex that minesweeper to run can be a major hassle | 07:02 |
| rkj | SuperQ: thanks - I'm reading :) | 07:02 |
| shadowh511 | then you need to go to whatsmyip.com and tell me it so i can connect | 07:02 |
| SuperQ | bqmassey: about 100MB | 07:03 |
| steven_ | ok how do we do this? | 07:03 |
| steven_ | yhe vnc | 07:03 |
| zcat[1] | so what is full tilt poker? | 07:03 |
| bqmassey | how do i install it ? apt-get install wine ? | 07:03 |
| SuperQ | bqmassey: that's it | 07:03 |
| arooni_ | shadowh511, is that safe? | 07:03 |
| SpamInaCan | is it ever safe to post ur current ip in a room with 1097 other people then u? | 07:04 |

| aaargh- | qdvdauthor... hmmm | 07:06 |
| bqmassey | SuperQ: never heard of that.. commencing google | 07:07 |

| boselecta | flatline-kun: | 07:07 |
| aaargh- | er - i'm talking iso data discs... | 07:07 |
| aaargh- | doesn't ubuntu come with iso burning software? | 07:07 |
| flatline-kun | boseleca: yea? | 07:07 |

| aslan | hello, I have a dell m1530, I successfully installed ubuntu and updated to the latest nvidia drivers, the card is a 8600m GT with 256 Megs... when I boot, I do not see the splash, instead all I see is a black screen until GDM loads and I can login. Any ideas? | 07:07 |
| chable | nerolinux is really good | 07:08 |
| shadowh511 | steven_: hold on, my vnc client is hosed, anyone know of a good vnc client? | 07:08 |
| aaargh- | hey, that works... wow, i feel like a n00b | 07:08 |
| zcat[1] | aaargh-: or if you must have a 'program' to burn disks, install q3b, it's about the nicest one | 07:08 |
| boselecta | flatline-kun: weird---i re-installed the printer, rebooted, and it worked fine. then i rebooted with the printer in the state that was causing performance issues (plugged to the machine but not the wall) and still no problems. no complaints in /var/log/messages either | 07:08 |
| steven_ | ok | 07:08 |
| boselecta | i don't get it. | 07:08 |
| crushin_ | happens to us all aaargh- | 07:08 |
| donogameel | anyone know how to get rid of the Sticky Window effect? | 07:08 |
| donogameel | it's annoying | 07:08 |
| aaargh- | lol - i'm not sure i'm a huge fan of ubuntu... it still has that "i'm an os with a gui that's still in development"... look. | 07:09 |
| flatline-kun | boseleca: Maybe it just didn't install properly in the first place. It happens. | 07:09 |
| zcat[1] | aaargh-: Cool huh. And if you just insert a blank disk it asks if you want to make a data disk or music.. | 07:09 |
| aaargh- | i know it's possibly down to something like the fonts, but ... i dunno... | 07:09 |
| aaargh- | yeah, it did ask me, and i clicked data disc, but ... it then wanted me to add files :) | 07:09 |
| boselecta | it's not a fresh install... it's something that crept up between updates. | 07:09 |
| boselecta | anyway. | 07:09 |
| aaargh- | (couldn't find a "write disc from iso" menu option :D) | 07:09 |
| === SpamInaCan is now known as SpamInTheCan | ||
| flatline-kun | aaargh- try Brasero | 07:10 |
| boselecta | at least my swap is back and the system doesn't rely on the printer anymore. | 07:10 |
| aaargh- | Brasero? is that a dist, a font, or a cd burning program? :) | 07:10 |
| boselecta | aaargh: all of the above! | 07:10 |
| flatline-kun | aaargh- : I think it's installed by default. (it's a CD burning program that will do iso's) | 07:10 |
| aaargh- | lol - serious? | 07:10 |
| zcat[1] | aaargh-: cd burning program. Not installed by default afaik | 07:11 |
| aslan | aaargh-: no it's just a burning program | 07:11 |
| nickrud | aaargh-, any ttf font can be used in ubuntu, customize the look. | 07:11 |
| aaargh- | the "right-click" write disc worked fine - burning now | 07:11 |
| boselecta | perhaps not a dist. | 07:11 |
| aaargh- | oh, i'm sure i can change the look but ... ignore me, i'm being picky :) | 07:11 |

| praveer_fedora | flatline-kun, I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router as it is, but still i am unable to ping from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.2 | 07:12 |
| aslan | So nobody here has had problems with the boot splash not working and just showing a black screen until GDM loads? | 07:12 |
| zcat[1] | the default look in ubuntu is not too exciting.... but turn on all the desktop affects, gdesklets, a few decents wallpapers, and it looks pretty awesome | 07:12 |
| flatline-kun | praveer_fedora : Are you using a crossover cable? | 07:12 |
| Task | omg.. I am thinking about going with onboard Graphics :( | 07:12 |
| hansoffate | i can't get ubuntu or kubuntu to boot | 07:12 |
| Task | Say It aint so | 07:13 |
| aaargh- | zcat[1]: hmm... i like my OSes to have "blue"ish looks... i don't like the orange so much, so maybe i'll try that :) | 07:13 |
| flatline-kun | aslan: have you upgraded recently? I know bootsplash was blanking out after upgrades from Edgy to Feisty. | 07:13 |
| nickrud | aslan, I do. sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst , look for the lines near the end with splash in them, remove that word. You don't get the pretty splash, but at least you know it's booting | 07:13 |
| zcat[1] | aaargh-: 'bluebuntu' might be for you then :) | 07:13 |
| _mug | good morning | 07:13 |
| aaargh- | lol - there's a dist called bluebuntu? or is that an ubuntu theme? | 07:13 |
| praveer_fedora | flatline-kun, straight through cable | 07:13 |
| jeezers | can someone suggest a good media player/codec pack? | 07:13 |
| shadowh511 | blubuntu is a theme | 07:14 |
| zcat[1] | it was a theme.. hang on and I'll see if I can find the package | 07:14 |
| hansoffate | if i try using an ubuntu live cd, i get kernal panics, or hung up at a blank black screen with a blinking _. If i try kubuntu, it doesn't get past a blue blackground witha mouse, but no taskbars load or anything further. Anyideas? | 07:14 |

| zcat[1] | sudo apt-get install blubuntu-look | 07:14 |
| shadowh511 | then you need to use an alternate install cd | 07:14 |
| aslan | this is an nvidia card and should work fine | 07:14 |
| aslan | zcat[1]: what's that? | 07:14 |
| aaargh- | i'm gonna try that now ... | 07:14 |
| flatline-kun | praveer_fedora : what does your /etc/networks/interfaces file look like (pastebin it or something) | 07:15 |
| hansoffate | shadowh511: me? | 07:15 |
| aslan | shadowh511: nah it's after I install. | 07:15 |
| aslan | zcat[1]: ah nvm | 07:15 |
| zcat[1] | aslan: gdm and gnome theme for ubuntu | 07:15 |
| shadowh511 | yes, you | 07:15 |
| nickrud | aslan, framebuffer issues. I didn't care, personally I like seeing whats going on and the moving orange bar has bad memories | 07:15 |
| TigranG | Anyone know how to fix a built-in sd card reader for a laptop: not recognizing any card and dmesg shoes nothing but card is inserted....anyone? | 07:15 |
| BehiiMehii | How do I view SWF media on a site? :/ | 07:15 |
| _mug | is there a database of well supported videocards? | 07:15 |
| shadowh511 | use adobe flash | 07:15 |
| aslan | nickrud: ya I figured, but googling shows me nothing | 07:15 |
| nickrud | _mug, any nvidia that's not too new | 07:15 |

| 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. | 07:16 |
| praveer_fedora | flatline-kun, http://pastebin.ca/838257 /etc/network/interfaces | 07:16 |
| nickrud | BehiiMehii, on the page above that is supposed to have the fix, scroll down to the blue text | 07:16 |

| nickrud | aaargh-, you should only have to go to system->admin->restricted drivers, install the nvidia one, reboot and the setting is in system->prefs->appearance last tab | 07:21 |
| rkj | SuperQ: r u still there? | 07:21 |
| flatline-kun | praveer_fedora : did you set up the bridge? | 07:21 |
| aaargh- | hmm - ok, i'll try that... | 07:22 |
| SuperQ | rkj: erk, got paged | 07:22 |
| mattholimea1 | i feel like a nub - could someone mention a good sftp/scp client? | 07:22 |
| praveer_fedora | flatline-kun, no i didnt, i thought bridge was for connecting the other computer to internet, i thought of setting up bridge after i got this lan working | 07:22 |
| kalpik | jeezers, just add the medibuntu repository and then install w32codecs | 07:22 |
| mattholimea1 | i just switched to ubuntu from xp - used to using winscp | 07:22 |

| aaargh- | ftp, sftp, scp, etc... | 07:22 |
| kalpik | mattholimea1, just enter ssh://username@server in nautilus | 07:22 |
| astro76 | mattholimea1, just use the places > connect to server... | 07:22 |
| mattholimea1 | yep, i'm a nub | 07:22 |
| nickrud | mattezell, gftp works | 07:22 |
| steven_ | does any one know how i can get compiz fusiion on ubuntu and how to get more theams ? | 07:23 |

| nickrud | erm, mattholimea1 gftp works. | 07:23 |
| mattholimea1 | yeah, soo many options | 07:23 |
| loudnlownoma | Hello all! Anyone here very good with boot problems/dual-boot? | 07:23 |
| praveer_fedora | flatline-kun, are there any other configuration files i might have missed out, other than /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts | 07:23 |
| mattholimea1 | i've used filezilla a bunch - think i'll give that a try on linux here | 07:23 |
| nickrud | mattholimea1, gftp is a gui, closest thing to winscp I think you'll find. Also, you can go to Places->Connect to server, and access it like a file folder | 07:24 |
| Task | I just pulled out my Video Card :( | 07:24 |
| mattholimea1 | thanks all | 07:24 |
| loudnlownoma | @steven - what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 07:24 |
| rkj | SuperQ: Do you know much about specifying video modes in xorg.conf? I've got xorg.conf set up for a dual head system but can't get the second monitor to work. When I press Fn-F8 (on my laptop) to enable it, it says that it is not set to the optimum mode. So my present theory is that I might be able to brute force the mode that it likes. | 07:24 |
| TigranG | lspci gives me this: Toshiba America Info Systems SD TypA Controller (rev 03) but the card reader does not work. Can I get some help? | 07:25 |

| bqmassey | ok. wine's installed... how should i go about installing Full Tilt? just run the installer .exe? | 07:28 |

| SuperQ | bqmassey: yup, wine "installer.exe" | 07:28 |
| bqmassey | ok | 07:29 |

| loudnlownoma | Anyone here very good with boot problems/dual-boot? | 07:29 |
| Flynsarmy | If you WINE an installer, will the installer put stuff all over your system or does wine stick it all in 1 folder? | 07:29 |
| steven_ | no it wil make a new folder and stick it in there | 07:30 |
| Task | whats the command to reconfigure your video... through the setup? | 07:30 |
| praveer_fedora | flatline-kun, the switch isnt blinking when i ping 192.168.0.2 from 192.168.0.1 | 07:30 |
| SuperQ | Flynsarmy: it puts it in /home/user/.wine/drive_c/ | 07:30 |
| loudnlownoma | @flynsarmy - When wine is installed and setup, it usually creates a .wine folder in home, and under that creates a drive_c to install stuff to | 07:30 |
| SuperQ | Flynsarmy: contains a virtual windows C drive there | 07:30 |
| multi_io | who starts up dhclient during system boot? It's not in any startup scripts. | 07:31 |
| Flynsarmy | SuperQ, loudnlownoma: gotcha, thanks | 07:31 |

| dORSY | scguy318: is it possible to whow my hda4 even that is not in fstab...it isnt listed | 07:39 |
| flatline-kun | praveer_fedora : That looks right. I am at a loss. The only thing I can think of is either your firewall is stopping you, or the swtich is. If you had a crossover cable I would tell you to connect the 2 pc's directly. | 07:39 |
| praveer_fedora | flatline-kun, i will remive firestarter and try again | 07:40 |
| praveer_fedora | remove* | 07:40 |

| bqmassey | SuperQ: yep | 07:41 |
| SuperQ | bqmassey: you need to cd to Desktop first | 07:41 |
| SuperQ | bqmassey: you need to be able to "ls -l FullTiltSetup.exe" | 07:41 |
| flatline-kun | That doesn't work, you can use this script to flush your firewall: http://pastebin.ca/838276 | 07:41 |

| bqmassey | SuperQ: shit.. thought i did.. i was wrong.. thanks | 07:42 |
| SuperQ | bqmassey: np :) | 07:42 |
| flatline-kun | praveer_fedora : If that doesn't work, you can use this script to flush your firewall: http://pastebin.ca/838276 | 07:42 |
| SuperQ | casperzshado: you should just be able to sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 07:43 |
| SuperQ | casperzshado: and then sudo update-grub | 07:43 |

| loudnlownoma | @bqmassey - sweet! Sorry I missed your last problem. But it's been a while since I tried full tilt - will have to install my copy too! :) | 07:44 |
| SuperQ | bqmassey: just minimize the window I guess | 07:44 |
| lightrush | hey | 07:44 |
| loudnlownoma | @bqmassey - you should be able to minimize the window, or you can use the icon that should show up in Wine's menu under Applications to run it without the terminal window | 07:45 |
| lightrush | can someone send me unmodified /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules ? | 07:45 |

| ghatak | Hi, I am having trouble arranging icons on desktop. Does gnome support something like Grid in windows desktop keep icon arranged ? | 07:51 |
| loudnlownoma | steven_: are you using an ati or nvidia card? | 07:51 |
| steven_ | Ati | 07:51 |
| SuperQ | ghatak: yes | 07:52 |
| steven_ | Ati 9600 | 07:52 |
| lightrush | loudnlownoma, hmm Ive had some trouble with the Host networking but I got it finally working fine , but for the rest - shared folders, usb I have never had TOO much hassle :D | 07:52 |
| SuperQ | ghatak: right-click on an empty space on the dsktop | 07:52 |
| Taheen | Hello everyone. I am running dual-head with an ATI Radeon Mobility X1400. I got everything working great with the new proprietary drivers off of the ATI site. However, it detects the CRT as Screen #1 and the laptop LCD as #2. How can I switch these? | 07:52 |
| SuperQ | ghatak: "keep aligned" | 07:52 |
| loudnlownoma | steven_: Oh the fun! :p Which driver are you running? | 07:52 |
| lightrush | reboot | 07:52 |
| exile | hy | 07:52 |
| steven_ | dam lol ok how do i find that out | 07:52 |
| loudnlownoma | lightrush: Must just be me. I seem to get lucky with some of these things... :) | 07:52 |
| exile | some body could tell me how i can install cedega | 07:52 |
| exile | i cant | 07:53 |
| exile | please | 07:53 |
| loudnlownoma | steven_: Have you installed any new drivers for the video card, or activated the restricted drivers? | 07:53 |
| exile | i cant find de .deb | 07:53 |
| TigranG | well, does anyone know how to partition a SD card? | 07:53 |
| steven_ | i think i activated the restricted drivers | 07:54 |
| exile | :( | 07:54 |
| Task | hrmmm.... I just installed my Nvidia 6100 drivers and now when I goto the desktop there are no icons and it is all white... the cube still works.. but there are no menus of any sort | 07:54 |
| steven_ | but it says in use | 07:54 |
| loudnlownoma | steven_: So the Restricted Manager does say it's in use? That's good - a start at least. :) | 07:54 |
| chable | hi | 07:54 |
| steven_ | yes | 07:54 |
| steven_ | it does | 07:54 |
| exile | were i can find cedega | 07:55 |

| chable | transgaming.com | 07:55 |
| exile | yes i know | 07:55 |
| exile | but maybe i cant fint it in other place | 07:55 |
| loudnlownoma | steven_: From what I understand - and I could be wrong, or this could be different with Gutsy and ATI's newer drivers.... But I think the ATI setup takes a little extra work. I lucked out an had an Nvidia card that was easy enough to update. | 07:55 |
| chable | heh | 07:55 |
| Taheen | lightrush, was that reboot at me :p | 07:55 |
| exile | :( | 07:55 |

| chable | steven_ you need help with ati drivers ? | 07:57 |
| loudnlownoma | steven_: Heh. The drivers should be okay if you already have the restricted ones setup - looking for the command to double check that now | 07:57 |
| chable | if you arent running a 64bit system , you get the x86 drivers | 07:58 |
| loudnlownoma | steven_: Still a little new myself, so I'm kinda limited by what I have experienced or had to deal with | 07:58 |
| chable | but , the restricted drivers that come with ubuntu are better | 07:58 |

| chable | i never had issues with ati drivers | 07:59 |

| chable | well , compiz is just a fancy thing | 08:04 |

| Anubyss | however, since my OS is 32 bit, I can't install it so I can't have sound | 08:33 |

| bob2001 | I am attempting an install from a flashdrive, following a method that requires you to mount the flash drive to /cdrom from a virtual console so the installer thinks there is a cdrom present. I keep getting a No such device error when I try to mount my flashdrive | 08:48 |

| bert_ | sorry, does anybody know how you set the postgreSQL main password (it doesn't ask me one when I install it) | 08:57 |
| adamonline46 | AJ--: Sorry, never used Yahoo chats. All I can suggest is that maybe you're not authenticated correctly, so you can only read the chats and not write to them... | 08:57 |
| ICQnumber | howto restart network manager | 08:57 |
| bert_ | netlarlinu, just do sudo apt-get install apache2 php5, that should normally do it for as far as I know | 08:57 |
| _mug | ICQnumber: /etc/init.d/network restart | 08:57 |
| bob2001 | basically I need help with mounting my flash dive. Anyone good with using mount on a console? | 08:57 |

| cabrioleur | BillyJoe: ney. You might try to install firefox in wine and shockwave on it too. Adobe is not the best supporter of shockwave for linux. | 08:58 |
| Anubyss | how can I backup my entire ubunto 32 bit config, and could I restore this onto a 64 bit new install? | 08:58 |

| cabrioleur | Anubyss: on the most part, yes. Except /boot of course. | 09:02 |
| Kimura | Is there a way to securely erase unused disk space like in Eraser for windoze? | 09:02 |
| cabrioleur | steven_: sorry, "sudo aptitude install emerald" | 09:02 |
| Anubyss | cabrioleur, how could I back it up | 09:02 |
| Anubyss | I'm new to linux | 09:02 |
| Hirvinen | !apt | steven_ | 09:02 |
| ubotu | steven_: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 09:02 |
| cabrioleur | Anubyss: for instance, "tar cvf backup.tar /dir1 /dir2 /dir3 | 09:03 |

| steven_ | now were can i find thems ? | 09:04 |
| Anubyss | what does that do, does it back up everything, and what's /dir1 /dire2/ /dir3, looks like three directories | 09:04 |
| Task | omg | 09:04 |
| steven_ | and how do i install? | 09:04 |
| Task | I am gonna kill this thing | 09:04 |
| Task | it still isnt workin even in root | 09:04 |
| Kimura | yeah -- free disk space. I want to sanitize/erase/shred it. whatever you call it | 09:04 |
| Task | the login screen still stays alive | 09:04 |
| ahimaj | you can zero it out | 09:04 |
| Kimura | how do you do that? | 09:05 |
| ahimaj | however, that will zero out everything on your hard drive | 09:05 |
| cabrioleur | Karyom: nope. Gdesklets for instance will. Superkaramba will be very buggy in gnome. | 09:05 |
| Kimura | oh. forget it then | 09:05 |

| Kimura | i'd need something with a pseudorandom stream anyway | 09:05 |
| ahimaj | there are programs that can zero out partitions | 09:05 |
| Karyom | what driver do you want to install? | 09:05 |
| loudnlownoma | steven_: and most of them include instructions for installing the specific theme you choose | 09:05 |
| Kimura | that's not quite what i'm looking for... | 09:05 |
| steven_ | ok thanks | 09:05 |
| Kimura | i'd rather have something that works like Eraser for windows, if it exists for gutsy | 09:05 |
| cabrioleur | Kimura: "cat /dev/random > /root/filler.trasher" | 09:06 |
| fat_rat | Detedagowa|WoW: maybe DeepBurner or Burnatonce :] | 09:06 |

| Hirvinen | Kimura: man shred | 09:06 |

| ahimaj | does anyone know when aptitude stopped being able to install flashplayer | 09:06 |
| steven_ | do you know were the super bution is ? | 09:06 |

| Cnerd | ive 2 local disks | 09:07 |

| Task | so I can install my driver | 09:08 |
| ahimaj | ugly oopsies? | 09:08 |
| Task | and everytime I do.. it keeps reloadin | 09:08 |
| ahimaj | could you be more specific | 09:08 |
| Cnerd | ..... | 09:08 |
| ahimaj | which kernel are you running | 09:08 |
| Karyom | did you try Contol + Alt + Esc to kill it? | 09:08 |
| Hirvinen | Kimura: Oh, whoops. I think so. | 09:08 |
| loudnlownoma | ahimaj: That sounds bad, but in a good way...lol | 09:08 |

| fat_rat | ugly oopsies? lol | 09:08 |
| cadorett | ive got a 400gb Partiton but ext3 is only setup for 315gb on that partition for some reason | 09:08 |
| cadorett | parted reports this but nothing else notices it | 09:09 |
| Task | I did the ctrl alt and backspace | 09:09 |
| ahimaj | task: just run an update | 09:09 |
| hgraey | gonna pastebin the whole thing | 09:09 |
| Task | that worked last time but now it keeps loading the login part | 09:09 |
| Detedagowa|WoW | use the partition editor built into ubuntu | 09:09 |
| Task | I did | 09:09 |
| Task | lol | 09:09 |
| ahimaj | should download kernel 2.6.20-16 | 09:09 |

| TigranG | Hi. Can I partition a 4GB sd card into 2 2gb partitions? | 09:10 |
| ahimaj | it will boot into grub | 09:10 |
| Task | kk | 09:10 |
| cadorett | it froze at some point during the process | 09:10 |
| ahimaj | give you options | 09:10 |
| Task | will try | 09:10 |
| ahimaj | for which kernel you can boot into | 09:10 |
| loudnlownoma | steven_: in that CCSM program you got from synaptic earlier - the last tab on the window for the effect you are working on will let you set the keystrokes | 09:10 |
| ahimaj | boot into 16--then you should be fine | 09:10 |
| Karyom | @task in the Folder Boot... | 09:10 |
| cadorett | so i rebooted and can still mount the drive except it sees none of the free space | 09:10 |
| ahimaj | later on, you can set it as your default kernel | 09:11 |

| bbengs | I'm back!!! | 09:15 |
| bbengs | Okay room, I need some help | 09:15 |
| bbengs | here it is | 09:15 |
| cadorett | im asking questions in pm are you not seeing them or something? | 09:15 |
| Cnerd | me? | 09:16 |
| cadorett | @cnerd | 09:16 |
| cadorett | yes | 09:16 |
| Cnerd | not | 09:16 |
| Karyom | Is someone using gdesklets? It doesnt work for me! | 09:16 |
| cadorett | Do you have a partition setup on the second drive already? | 09:16 |
| TigranG | Hi. Can I partition a 4GB sd card into 2 2gb partitions? | 09:16 |
| Cnerd | ive partitioned yes | 09:16 |
| cadorett | okay | 09:16 |
| goofeedude | I have used the GParted liveCD to prepare a linux parition for Ubuntu, but upon starting the installer from the liveCD, the only choices are Use Entire Disk, Shrink the NTFS partition on sdb, and Manual. Upon choosing manual, my linux partition(s) are not visible, and the only option is to create a new partition table. Is there a workaround for this? (using the 7.10 live CD. Also, the partitions are visible in /proc/partitions) | 09:16 |
| bbengs | i am running qbittorrent and firefox on 7.10, when i have qBittorrent open, I can not browse the internet via firefox. any ideas? | 09:16 |
| cadorett | assuming your partition on the second drive is setup as the first partition | 09:16 |
| Task | ok did it | 09:17 |
| cadorett | type mkdir /media/disk-2 | 09:17 |
| jesse | Guys, whats a good vnc program i can use that people can connect from windows PC's with | 09:17 |
| ahimaj | task, did it work | 09:17 |
| loudnlownoma | Anyone familiar with problems with GRUB? Mine seems to load slowly only on this machine, with a dual-boot on separate hard drives. | 09:17 |
| cadorett | then type mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk-2 | 09:17 |
| Task | yeAH | 09:17 |
| cadorett | unless its already mounted | 09:17 |
| Cnerd | it is hdd1 bhy me | 09:17 |
| matkix | Hey all | 09:17 |
| cadorett | alright then use hdd1 | 09:17 |
| Cnerd | ive mounted it, and partitioned | 09:17 |
| jesse | Can anybody help me real fast? | 09:17 |
| cadorett | then it should be in the media folder | 09:17 |
| cadorett | ls /media | 09:17 |
| ahimaj | ok, type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:17 |
| cadorett | cd /media/whatever its mounted under | 09:18 |
| matkix | jesse: Please just ask your question. | 09:18 |
| Cnerd | cd media/disk1 ? | 09:18 |
| ahimaj | it should give you a file with all available kernels near the bottom | 09:18 |
| Cnerd | :) | 09:18 |
| cadorett | that should do it it was mounted like that | 09:18 |
| cadorett | did that work? | 09:18 |
| ahimaj | tell me if you see kernel 16 down there; if you do, you are golden | 09:18 |
| jesse | I did | 09:18 |
| Karyom | @Jesse KPF | 09:18 |
| Detedagowa | hey | 09:18 |
| jesse | Whats a good VNC program to use? | 09:18 |
| jesse | I want windwos users to be able to connect. | 09:18 |
| matkix | !vnc | 09:19 |
| Detedagowa | what was the sudo command i needed to do now? | 09:19 |
| ubotu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 09:19 |
| madness | if i have a picture and want to use it as an icon how do i save it in gimp and put it into the correct folder to be able to chose from? | 09:19 |
| goofeedude | jesse, I use tightVNC, but others may have a better preference | 09:19 |
| Karyom | over KPF you can Access over Web Browser, | 09:19 |
| Aztec007 | Hey everyone, I'm trying to store an image of my system using partimage but when it begins to back up, it says that it ran out of space, and I followed the instructions according to the psychocat web page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage, what could i be doing wrong? | 09:19 |
| Cnerd | :D:D:D:D | 09:19 |
| jesse | i installed tightvnc via the package installer but cant find where its at | 09:19 |
| Cnerd | it works | 09:19 |
| jesse | lol | 09:19 |
| Cnerd | thnx | 09:19 |
| cadorett | no problem | 09:19 |
| cadorett | Anyone know how to recreate a filesystem without deleting a partition | 09:19 |
| Detedagowa | cador | 09:19 |
| goofeedude | jesse, `which vncserver` | 09:19 |
| cadorett | Detedagowa | 09:19 |
| cadorett | Hello | 09:20 |
| Detedagowa | its me on ubuntu now | 09:20 |

| goofeedude | :-) * | 09:20 |
| jesse | o | 09:20 |
| Detedagowa | it comes up E: Invalid operation aptitude | 09:20 |
| jesse | lol | 09:20 |

| ardchoille | cadorett: sudo apt-get upgrade | 09:21 |
| Task | ahimaj... only the same as before | 09:21 |
| ahimaj | hmmm | 09:21 |
| Cnerd | ive to change permissions, how i do that in terminal? | 09:21 |
| cadorett | try that Detedagowa | 09:21 |
| loudnlownoma | !grub slow | 09:21 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about grub slow - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:21 |
| cadorett | Cnerd | 09:21 |
| jesse | says /user/local/bin/vncserver | 09:21 |
| jesse | er | 09:21 |
| Detedagowa | i did and didnt work ill paste what it tell me though | 09:21 |
| jesse | usr | 09:21 |
| cadorett | Type sudo chmod +777 /media/disc1 | 09:21 |
| Cnerd | yes cadorett | 09:21 |
| bbengs | i am running qbittorrent and firefox on 7.10, when i have qBittorrent open, I can not browse the internet via firefox. any ideas? | 09:21 |
| cadorett | that will give everyone all permissions | 09:21 |
| Cnerd | :) | 09:21 |
| Detedagowa | Reading package lists... Done | 09:22 |
| Detedagowa | Building dependency tree... Done | 09:22 |

| madness | if i have a picture and want to use it as an icon how do i save it in gimp and put it into the correct folder to be able to chose from | 09:22 |
| goofeedude | jesse, that means you have it installed, you can see how to start it up with `man vncserver` but generally you might just be able to start it up with default options with just `vncserver` | 09:22 |
| Task | ahimaj its a brand new install.... nothing done to it besides the regular updates from the manager | 09:22 |
| cadorett | Detedagowa sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:22 |
| Cnerd | invalid mode +777 | 09:22 |
| cadorett | maybe | 09:22 |
| TigranG | Can I partition a 4GB sd card into 2 2gb partitions? Can I use fdisk? | 09:22 |
| Detedagowa | ill try | 09:22 |
| TigranG | I'm really lost :S | 09:22 |
| Detedagowa | same as just putting upgrade | 09:22 |
| ahimaj | ok | 09:22 |
| Cnerd | 777 must i be | 09:22 |
| cadorett | 777 is readwrite for owner group everyone | 09:23 |
| ahimaj | try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:23 |
| Aztec007 | I'm trying to store an image of my system using partimage but when it begins to back up, it says that it ran out of space, and I followed the instructions according to the psychocat web page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage, what could i be doing wrong? | 09:23 |
| cadorett | i just had him try that | 09:23 |
| Detedagowa | i just did ahimaj | 09:23 |
| ahimaj | geeze, and it didn't work | 09:23 |
| goofeedude | jesse, I actually do something like `vncserver -geometry 1270x700`. I have set up the appropriate .conf file to have vncserver start fluxbox as a window manager for me. | 09:23 |
| cadorett | Cnerd hrm | 09:23 |
| ahimaj | that doesn't sound right--but I've heard stranger things | 09:23 |
| Detedagowa | oh it added somthing this time though | 09:23 |
| Detedagowa | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade right after building dependancy thing | 09:24 |
| Task | ok | 09:24 |
| Detedagowa | oops | 09:24 |
| Task | did | 09:24 |
| Detedagowa | gotta repaste it | 09:24 |
| Detedagowa | Calculating upgrade... Done | 09:24 |
| ahimaj | well task, you can just compile a kernel manually--you will be miserable for about 2 hours or so, but will learn a ton | 09:24 |
| Cnerd | it didnt works, i cant create documents or folders in file browser | 09:24 |
| cadorett | did the invalid mode go away? | 09:24 |
| Cnerd | oh | 09:25 |
| Task | lol | 09:25 |
| Cnerd | yes 777, not +777 :/ | 09:25 |
| Task | whats the difference? | 09:25 |
| Detedagowa | yes | 09:25 |
| cadorett | okay hrm | 09:25 |
| Task | I mean... how will it benefit me? | 09:25 |
| goofeedude | About my installer partition problem (above): would the alternate install CD provide the needed functionality in this case? | 09:25 |
| cadorett | Cnerd in terminal try sudo nautilus | 09:25 |
| cadorett | then browse to your /media folder and right click on disk1 | 09:25 |
| ardchoille | !gksudo | cadorett | 09:25 |
| ubotu | cadorett: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 09:25 |
| cadorett | set the permissions that way | 09:25 |
| Detedagowa | in update manager it says my system is up to date i check for files it shows 3 but doesnt get them correctly | 09:25 |
| jesse | goofeedude, i ran man vncserver but it just displays in terminal.. not sure what to edit. | 09:25 |
| ardchoille | Cnerd: Use gksudo nautilus | 09:25 |
| ahimaj | meh | 09:25 |
| cadorett | either way works | 09:26 |
| Task | ahimaj... how will it benefit me? | 09:26 |
| sai | hello everybody | 09:26 |
| Detedagowa | cador can i pm you? | 09:26 |
| vallhalla81 | !Hardy Heron | 09:26 |
| ardchoille | cadorett: Yes, but one way is good and the other can cause problems | 09:26 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hardy heron - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:26 |
| Karyom | hi | 09:26 |
| Aztec007 | hey everyone hows everybody doing? great! ok I have a question: I'm trying to store an image of my system using partimage but when it begins to back up, it says that it ran out of space, and I followed the instructions according to the psychocat web page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage, what could i be doing wrong? | 09:26 |
| ahimaj | well, you'll learn more about unix kernels | 09:26 |
| goofeedude | jesse, I had just suggested to look at the vncserver man page to read and get an understanding of what configuration files to edit, so you would know how to set up vncserver the way you want it. | 09:26 |
| ahimaj | you'll be able to configure it to maximize what your os gets out of your specs | 09:26 |
| cadorett | Detedagowa yes | 09:26 |
| goofeedude | jesse: but basically, just try typing `vncserver` and see what happens :-) | 09:27 |
| ahimaj | you're running gutsy, correct? | 09:27 |
| Detedagowa | do you see the pm? | 09:27 |
| jesse | goofeedude, vncpasswd: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 09:27 |
| cadorett | no | 09:28 |
| Detedagowa | idk how to pm with Gaim then | 09:28 |
| cadorett | let me try and figure out why that is happening | 09:28 |
| ahimaj | what did you say your problem was again? | 09:28 |
| Detedagowa | ok | 09:28 |
| cadorett | i believe its on my end | 09:28 |
| madness | if i have a picture and want to use it as an icon how do i save it in gimp and put it into the correct folder to be able to chose from? | 09:28 |
| goofeedude | jesse, oh dear. Did you use apt-get to install tightvnc? | 09:28 |
| umop-apisdn | !router | 09:28 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about router - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:28 |
| jesse | goofeedude, i used the intall manager. | 09:28 |
| cadorett | You have aim i take it? | 09:29 |
| Aztec007 | Evidently, the book "Memoirs of an invisible man" is about me.... | 09:29 |
| * umop-apisdn gets snubbed by ubotu | 09:29 | |
| umop-apisdn | fine, silly bot | 09:29 |
| Detedagowa | Gaim yes | 09:29 |
| jesse | install* | 09:29 |
| Aztec007 | Cuz I'm frickin INVISIBLE! | 09:29 |
| Detedagowa | let me grab a cigarette brb | 09:29 |
| umop-apisdn | wow, lag spike | 09:29 |
| Cnerd | :D:D thnx | 09:29 |
| Task | I just need to disable the dang X so I can install a driver | 09:29 |
| cadorett | Cnerd did that work? | 09:29 |
| ahimaj | X? | 09:29 |
| Cnerd | yes | 09:29 |
| cadorett | I assume it did from your :D | 09:29 |
| ahimaj | what is that | 09:29 |
| Cnerd | yhnx cadorett | 09:30 |
| cadorett | no problem | 09:30 |
| Task | The GUI | 09:30 |
| Task | The X system | 09:30 |
| umop-apisdn | which brings me to the routing bit. anyone have a moment to point me at a good place to configure my new ubuntu server 7.10 server as a router? | 09:30 |
| Task | The interface | 09:30 |
| Cnerd | :p | 09:30 |
| cadorett | finally fixed my issue | 09:30 |
| aslan | Task: Task just hold ctl+alt and hit F2 | 09:30 |
| cadorett | just in case anyone here has free space issues on ext3 partition | 09:30 |
| Cnerd | now peogramming for linux :) | 09:30 |
| aslan | then when you get there login | 09:30 |
| aslan | and run | 09:30 |
| ahimaj | what is the gui doing? | 09:30 |
| cadorett | deleting and recreating the journal works real well | 09:30 |
| aslan | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 09:30 |
| ahimaj | are you trying to install a graphics driver? | 09:31 |
| aslan | I believe that should fix the issue | 09:31 |
| Detedagowa | im back | 09:31 |
| steven_ | um i need help | 09:31 |
| cadorett | Detedagowa | 09:31 |
| umop-apisdn | !ping | 09:31 |
| ubotu | pong | 09:31 |
| Detedagowa | ?? | 09:31 |
| Aztec007 | Fine, I'll figure it out myself! *SHEEESH* | 09:31 |
| goofeedude | jesse: sorry I'm actually out of my expertise at this point. I thought perhaps the proper dependencies might not be installed (because it looks as is vncserver cannot find the c library it needs.) Perhaps you could check if lisbstdc++=libc6.2.2.so.3 is installed (looking for it in the package manger...) Other than that, I'm all out of suggestions | 09:31 |
| Task | I need to install display drivers | 09:32 |
| Task | the driver says the system X has to be not running | 09:32 |
| umop-apisdn | Aztec007: out of curiosity, are you backing up your partition to the same drive you're backing up? | 09:32 |
| jesse | goofeedude, this is a fresh install of gutsy. | 09:32 |
| Task | so I try to close it but it wont close | 09:32 |
| ahimaj | oh | 09:32 |
| Task | it will load back up to the login part | 09:32 |
| ahimaj | you can boot into recovery | 09:32 |
| madness | if i have a picture and want to use it as an icon how do i save it in gimp and put it into the correct folder to be able to chose from? | 09:32 |
| ahimaj | or into grub | 09:32 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: no actually I have an external HD | 09:32 |
| ahimaj | and ask for a command prompt | 09:32 |
| ahimaj | gui won't be loaded then | 09:32 |
| ahimaj | and you can just do everything manually | 09:33 |
| Task | how do I ask for command prompt using grub? | 09:33 |
| umop-apisdn | Aztec007: can you check the free disk space on the target drive? | 09:33 |
| ahimaj | just type in sudo boot | 09:33 |
| ahimaj | it will restart | 09:33 |
| Task | kk | 09:33 |
| ahimaj | press esc when you see grub menu flash | 09:33 |
| ahimaj | then just read the options | 09:33 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: by target drive you mean the drive that I'm saving my back up to right? | 09:33 |
| ahimaj | you can type in c | 09:34 |
| ahimaj | to get a command prompt | 09:34 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: or is it the drive that I'm backing up | 09:34 |
| Aztec007 | ? | 09:34 |
| umop-apisdn | Aztec007: yes... actually, i should have said "destination", to be technically accurate. thanks for seeing through my 3:30am typo ;) | 09:34 |
| Task | ummm sudo boot doesnt work | 09:34 |
| goofeedude | jesse, I really am out of my area of expertise at this point :-) I haven't gotten Ubuntu installed yet due to an installer issue. I use tightVNC on my Slackware box. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable may help you! | 09:34 |
| Task | Yeah I am there right now | 09:34 |
| umop-apisdn | Aztec007: the drive you are backing up to is the one i'm interested in | 09:34 |
| biff420 | i am trying to start pidgin but it does not pop up...it is running (can see it in the processes) but there is no window | 09:35 |
| Detedagowa | i cant beleive i just did that | 09:35 |
| underyx | hello! I'm back today with another question: | 09:35 |
| biff420 | any ideas | 09:35 |
| underyx | How can I decompress an NTFS pendrive from linux? | 09:35 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: yes, it's got plenty of space 100GBs to be exact | 09:35 |
| ahimaj | sudo reboot | 09:35 |
| loudnlownoma | Detedagowa: Did what? | 09:35 |
| Detedagowa | ran that gui shutoff code | 09:35 |
| Detedagowa | lol | 09:35 |
| Detedagowa | went to command line | 09:35 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: I should tell you that it happens to be a Windows formatted partition though | 09:35 |
| Task | negative | 09:35 |
| umop-apisdn | aha | 09:35 |
| BehiiMehii | How do I play .SWF files? | 09:35 |

| umop-apisdn | that may be the issue, right there. NTFS, i assume? | 09:36 |
| loudnlownoma | biff420: do you get the icon near the clock? | 09:36 |
| cadorett | yes | 09:36 |
| loudnlownoma | Detedagowa: lol | 09:36 |
| Detedagowa | ok | 09:36 |
| cadorett | Detedagowa i am still here | 09:36 |
| underyx | I have to tell that the system doesn't even mount the pendrive | 09:36 |
| ahimaj | sudo shutdown -r now | 09:36 |
| Detedagowa | um | 09:36 |
| ahimaj | that should udo it | 09:36 |

| ubotu | BehiiMehii: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 09:36 |
| 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. | 09:36 |
| Detedagowa | screename for what? | 09:36 |
| goofeedude | Has anybody else ran into the installer limitation I described earlier? :I have used the GParted liveCD to prepare a linux parition for Ubuntu, but upon starting the installer from the liveCD, the only choices are Use Entire Disk, Shrink the NTFS partition on sdb, and Manual. Upon choosing manual, my linux partition(s) are not visible, and the only option is to create a new partition table. Is there a workaround for this? (usin | 09:36 |
| goofeedude | g the 7.10 live CD. Also, the partitions are visible in /proc/partitions) | 09:36 |

| Detedagowa | i have no idea what the notice is l;ol | 09:36 |
| loudnlownoma | biff420: strange.... try running it from a terminal prompt | 09:37 |

| goofeedude | jesse: I really don't know? perhaps you could try `sudo apt-get remove tightvnc` (google it first, I'm not a debian/Ubuntu guy yet and I don't recall the proper syntax for apt-get) That's about the best I can come up with :-) | 09:38 |

| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: ah ok, look at the bright side, at least you're living well :) | 09:41 |
| umop-apisdn | Aztec007: i've been fooling around with linux off and on for about 8 or 10 years, but this year i got serious about it - ubuntu looks like a real competitor for the desktop market. | 09:41 |
| tuntun | Hi. Are there any programs other than partition magic on windows that can read/write files in another unmounted ext3 partition? | 09:41 |
| Eds | Linux desktop has a hyperterminal doesnt it? | 09:42 |
| Task | ahi you there? | 09:42 |
| umop-apisdn | tuntun: by definition, nothing can touch unmounted filesystems | 09:42 |
| kraut | moin | 09:42 |
| Karyom | moinsen | 09:42 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: dude, so have I. I started using mandrake and the thrill lasted for like 2 weeks and then I just gave up on it cuz I could never print, | 09:42 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: but once I took a look at ol' Gutsy here, I became enamored | 09:43 |
| steven_ | accedentally set the letter 'enter' in the initiate field for this setting. now, the fire is constantly being painted and i cannot stop it!!! I can clear it, but when i move my mouse the flames start again and i can't change the settings. can somebody please help me?! | 09:43 |
| tuntun | umop-apisdn: partitionmagic in windows: It can read write parititions that aren't letterd | 09:43 |
| steven_ | how can i fix this | 09:43 |
| umop-apisdn | Aztec007: no printing, no sound, no OpenGL without fighting... i feel your pain. ubuntu really seems to have its act together, tho... between ubuntu and winedoors, i was playing counterstrike on a brand new box about 35 minutes after i opened it :)) | 09:44 |
| Karyom | is anybody using gdesklets? | 09:44 |
| === macd_ is now known as macd | ||
| loudnlownoma | steven_: what happens when you try to disable the fire plugin in CCSM? | 09:44 |
| Karyom | or SuperKaramba in Gnome? | 09:44 |
| cabrioleur | Karyom: I used to. | 09:44 |
| umop-apisdn | steven_: why can't you change the settings? is it not in the preferences menu, at the top of the screen? | 09:45 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: yep, if you're a gamer, windows is your master :( | 09:45 |
| umop-apisdn | Aztec007: oh, i dunno... vista may have fixed that for us :) | 09:45 |
| Karyom | it doesnt work for me, maybe because of compiz? | 09:45 |
| tuntun | umop-apisdn: partitionmagic in windows: It can read write parititions that aren't letterd... | 09:45 |
| umop-apisdn | tuntun: not "lettered" and "unmounted" are not the same thing | 09:45 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: lol yeah, i'm still skeptical about vista | 09:46 |
| Karyom | do you have Compiz and gdesklets runnin? | 09:46 |
| umop-apisdn | tuntun: what, exactly, are you trying to do? | 09:46 |
| loudnlownoma | umop-apisdn: So true! My new desktop came with Vista on it, and I have had quite an easier time getting some of my games working in Ubuntu than in Vista...lol | 09:46 |
| tuntun | umop-apisdn: I think they are in windows... | 09:46 |
| bmt2 | hello to all | 09:46 |
| cabrioleur | Karyom: if you use compiz, it's recommended to use screenlets. They fit nicely and you can create mac os x expose kind of widgets. | 09:46 |
| umop-apisdn | Aztec007: don't bother with skepticism... the world hates it, and microsoft is trying to quietly find something else for them to be upset about, so they can do vista like they did ME... sweep it under the carpet... | 09:46 |
| bmt2 | is there a way to see the files on my windows xp laptop via my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop if they are in the same network | 09:47 |
| biff420 | loudnlownoma: i am the biggest tard | 09:47 |
| Karyom | thanks, gonna take a look on it | 09:47 |
| bmt2 | also is there a way to copy files from my windows xp laptop to my Ubuntu laptop ? | 09:47 |
| umop-apisdn | loudnlownoma: i know exactly what you mean - i was just commenting friday about how ubuntu was more backwards-compatible with windows apps than windows is... | 09:47 |
| cabrioleur | Karyom: imho screenlets has more kiss attitude, and nicer widgets. | 09:47 |
| loudnlownoma | biff420: Careful now. You may be talking to the master on that one...lol | 09:47 |
| umop-apisdn | bmt2: google "samba" | 09:47 |
| underyx | How could I decompress an NTFS pendrive from linux? | 09:47 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: you just might be right, because Vista has been out for what? a couple of months, if not a year and they still cant get their act together | 09:47 |
| bmt2 | umop-apisdn: thanks | 09:47 |
| umop-apisdn | bmt2: np | 09:48 |
| biff420 | loudnlownoma: doubt it...it was minimized....probably was that way before I went through reinstalling Ubuntu | 09:48 |
| loudnlownoma | umop-apisdn: Heh. It has definitely been an experience, that's for sure! | 09:48 |
| bmt2 | is there another alternative other than samba ....something quick that i can use ? | 09:48 |
| biff420 | loudnlownoma: oh well i was able to go from 32 bit to 64 bit....which is what i want to do the first time | 09:48 |
| cabrioleur | bmt2: nfs. | 09:48 |
| umop-apisdn | bmt2: uhm... thumbdrive? | 09:48 |
| steven_ | sweet fixed it | 09:48 |
| umop-apisdn | bmt2: samba is the linux version of windows file sharing - it lets your laptop speak windows networking | 09:49 |
| bmt2 | umop-apisdn: funny you said thumbdrive...i lost that damn thing...that is why i am trying to do this ...LOL | 09:49 |
| loudnlownoma | biff420: Ahhhh... Well, at least it works :) I made the same mistake when I first installed thinking something had busted it in the install, then realized somehow it was in the taskbar already | 09:49 |
| bmt2 | cabrioleur: what is nfs ? | 09:49 |
| steven_ | So how do i install a them? | 09:49 |
| loudnlownoma | biff420: good to hear its working tho! | 09:49 |
| tuntun | the realtek ac97 drivers have fsckd ubuntu, what should i do? | 09:49 |
| biff420 | loudnlownoma: it isnt always showing up in avn either | 09:49 |
| Carbonflux | I need some help with a Ubuntu 7.10 install...after I install Ubuntu from the LiveCD and restart after grub it hangs on Starting Up... | 09:49 |
| loudnlownoma | steven_: Grats! | 09:49 |
| biff420 | loudnlownoma: thanks for the help | 09:49 |
| cabrioleur | nfs is for unixes what smb is for windows. | 09:49 |
| loudnlownoma | biff420: np | 09:50 |
| Carbonflux | also, I have to use Safe Graphics mode to start the liveCD | 09:50 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: well umop, I'm either goin to bed or do some more reading but regardless, I thank you for acknowledging me and throwing this poor dog a bone... | 09:50 |
| steven_ | ok now my enter buttion itsent working ? | 09:50 |
| Aztec007 | HAPPY NEW YEAR'S TO ALL! | 09:50 |
| biff420 | Anybody figure out an easy way to get different desktop backgrounds on the compiz cube yet? | 09:50 |
| LiraNuna | Aztec007, YOU ARE EARLY | 09:50 |
| loudnlownoma | biff420:Do you mean a different background for each cube face? | 09:51 |
| umop-apisdn | bmt2: oh, duh... 'nother method: share the folder on your xp box, and use the file manager on the linux box to navigate to the windows machine and grab the files... should be there (at least read-only) by default | 09:51 |
| BernardB | How can I install the newest version of aMSN? | 09:51 |
| biff420 | loudnlownoma: yep | 09:51 |
| loudnlownoma | biff420: Cuz if you do, I'd like to know too... hehe. :) | 09:51 |
| umop-apisdn | Aztec007: no problem. good luck, and happy holidays | 09:51 |
| Aztec007 | LiraNuna: just by a coupe of days 1 to be exact :) | 09:51 |
| LiraNuna | oh shi- I thought this is #4chan | 09:51 |
| Aztec007 | umop-apisdn: likewise my brother, peace | 09:51 |
| bmt2 | umop-apisdn: now that sounds like something quick and easy | 09:51 |
| biff420 | loudnlownoma: i have found lots of difficult ways to do it...but im not that brave...figured i'd just wait till they patch in in the next release of either nautilus or compiz-fusion | 09:52 |
| bmt2 | all i want to do is pass a abundant amount of mp3 files from my xp box to my linux box | 09:52 |
| umop-apisdn | BernardB: use the package manager to install pidgin | 09:52 |
| Aztec007 | LiraNuna: whats #4chan? | 09:52 |
| loudnlownoma | I searched around for a little bit one night and wasn't finding much, but I wasn't looking very hard either. Then just decided that bed was calling too loudly to worry about it, and haven't had a chance to look any more yet | 09:52 |
| bmt2 | okay i share the folder on my xp box...what do i do now to access that folder on my linux box ? | 09:53 |
| loudnlownoma | Anyone familiar with GRUB or Vista's bootloader, and know why either would be loading very slowly? | 09:53 |
| umop-apisdn | bmt2: just click on the "places" menu, and choose "network" | 09:53 |
| umop-apisdn | bmt2: then look for your xp machine, go to the share, and grab the files :) | 09:54 |
| Humanzy | can anyone help me reclaim sound in flash? | 09:54 |
| Carbonflux | I need some help with a Ubuntu 7.10 install...after I install Ubuntu from the LiveCD and restart after grub it hangs on Starting Up... | 09:54 |
| Carbonflux | any ideas ? heh | 09:54 |
| BernardB | umop-apisdn, I've already installed the aMSN using the package manager, but it still complains there's a new version (I'm running Gutsy). | 09:54 |
| umop-apisdn | Carbonflux: could be any number of things... try the memtest? | 09:54 |
| umop-apisdn | BernardB: sorry, not familiar with that package... is there a help menu? | 09:55 |
| cabrioleur | loudnlownoma: loading system or getting to this point? | 09:55 |
| TopoMorto | Carbonflux, on wich hardware? | 09:55 |
| umop-apisdn | Carbonflux: by which i meant the memtest on the livecd, to check your ram. it could also be a few other things, but i would suspect hardware (without any other info) | 09:55 |
| BernardB | umop-apisdn, I'll search google again, thanks though | 09:56 |
| vallhalla81 | !vmware | 09:56 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 09:56 |
| Carbonflux | umop-apisdn: I can try that now, will it help? I think the issue is graphics frankly, I can only get the LiveCD to run in safe graphics mode, it hangs the same way, the alt/cntl F1/F2 keys don't work either, do you know if there is a parameter on the kernel command line to force it use VGA graphics ? | 09:56 |
| umop-apisdn | BernardB: sorry i wasn't more helpful... i'm assuming, though, that aMSN is an IM client? | 09:56 |
| bmt2 | isn't a pc part of the network even though it is running wireless ? | 09:56 |
| loudnlownoma | cabrioleur: Getting to the menu. I get the bios splash screen, then blank window with a cursor for a god 20-30 seconds or more - then GRUB menu pops up and everything works fine after that. | 09:57 |
| BernardB | umop-apisdn, no problem and yes ;-) | 09:57 |
| umop-apisdn | BernardB: if so, you might try pidgin - it works with all the major (and some not-so-major) IM networks, and is almost as good (in my opinion) as trillian | 09:57 |
| cabrioleur | loudnlownoma: it will do that when cd is in the tray. | 09:57 |
| loudnlownoma | cabrioleur: Do you know if Vista's will do the same? Can't recall if I noticed a difference without a CD in, but I don't think that made a difference | 09:58 |
| BernardB | umop-apisdn, totally agree, but the problem is, I would like to use my webcam and that's not a priority for pidgin. It is a very good IM, though. | 09:58 |
| umop-apisdn | Carbonflux: if the livecd doesn't fly, you're gonna need better help than i to get that running on your box | 09:58 |
| olli | good morning! I've got exactly the same CD-buning issue this guy had: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=251714 Unfortunately he didnt tell how he solved it | 09:58 |
| BernardB | umop-apisdn, I'll try to compile it myself | 09:58 |
| umop-apisdn | BernardB: ah, i see. good luck :) | 09:58 |
| BernardB | Thanks | 09:58 |
| Carbonflux | umop-apisdn: the liveCd works fine in safe graphics mode | 09:58 |
| steven_ | can sombody help me on how to install theams | 09:59 |
| cabrioleur | loudnlownoma: vista loader will not. Lilo will not too. | 09:59 |
| cabrioleur | loudnlownoma: and there is a way to fix this if you want. | 09:59 |
| umop-apisdn | Carbonflux: the fact that you have to choose "safe graphics mode" is where i get stumped - if it doesn't just go, i recommend someone with a little more experience than myself :) | 09:59 |
| Carbonflux | umop-apisdn: thanks for trying :) | 09:59 |
| h0n3st | I try to install apache (as interanet web server)/Squid (transparent mode as cache server) on my office server. when I use iptable to redirect http request to squid, i lost my access to apache. I checked using telnet and saw the local request to server (http requests) go trough squid and so squid not work. How can I define a rule that exclude requests to http port of server do not redirect to squid? | 09:59 |
| TopoMorto | i'm in trouble connecting a NFS share from an Ubuntu server machine to my Ubuntu laptop, portmap and nfs-common are running on client side (but i dont see listed nfs when i cat /proc/filesystems), i have googled around to chek solution but nothiong useful, could someone help? | 10:00 |
| loudnlownoma | cabrioleur: That's why I'm so puzzled with it. A couple nights ago I switched over to Vista's loader. Rewrote the MBR with EasyBCD, re-setup GRUB on my Ubuntu drive, got the Window's loader working correctly - but it does the same thing | 10:00 |
| BernardB | Lol, Gutsy restarted abruptly | 10:01 |
| umop-apisdn | olli: in the forum you linked to, the original poster stated that he fixed it by replacing the hardware, or maybe the software... i quote him now: "The problem is with the drive itself. The version of cdrecord that i had was not compatable with burning data cds." | 10:01 |
| cabrioleur | loudnlownoma: disable cd booting in bios, or move it below hd. | 10:01 |
| vallhalla81 | what can i use insted of vmware? | 10:01 |
| scguy318 | vallhalla81: Virtualbox | 10:02 |
| umop-apisdn | olli: so either he replaced the hardware, or he replaced the software, i'm not sure which... but you mnight try a different cd burning app? | 10:02 |
| olli | umop-apisdn, I did so | 10:02 |
| * TopoMorto reboot server | 10:02 | |
| vallhalla81 | scguy318: ok thank you | 10:02 |
| loudnlownoma | cabrioleur: Will try that, or at least try watching without a CD in the drive and see if it makes a difference... Back in a few. Thanks! | 10:02 |
| olli | umop-apisdn, I thought scsi-emulation was the problem | 10:02 |
| umop-apisdn | h0n3st: what port is squid running on? | 10:03 |
| olli | umop-apisdn, does it make any sense to enable ide-scsi? | 10:03 |
| umop-apisdn | olli: if you read the whole page, it looks like maybe he upgraded his version of cdrecord | 10:04 |
| amikrop | I have a wireless-and-also-wired router. I, henceforth, want to connect to it with ethernet, and not wirelessly. How can I disable the wireless of my pc? (I don't even want roaming mode to be on, because it connects to other networks.) | 10:04 |
| olli | umop-apisdn, the problems occured since I updated from feisty to gutsy | 10:04 |
| umop-apisdn | olli: sorry, my GG box doesn't even have a cdrom ;) | 10:04 |
| umop-apisdn | oh, hey | 10:05 |
| umop-apisdn | olli: is it an ide cdrw? | 10:05 |
| olli | umop-apisdn, yes | 10:05 |
| olli | umop-apisdn, in feisty I never changed its configuration. it just worked out of the bx | 10:05 |
| michael__ | My system had 2x80GB hard drives and 2 user profiles running 7.10 | 10:05 |
| michael__ | one drive with one partition having the operating system and my /home directory | 10:05 |
| michael__ | second dive with two partitions Swap and extra storage. | 10:05 |
| umop-apisdn | olli: then, yes, maybe... ide-scsi might be a good thing to enable. i know windows uses a fake scsi interface for burners, maybe ubuntu does, too. | 10:05 |
| michael__ | The second drive with the Swap is dead and the system will not boot into GUI. | 10:05 |
| michael__ | How do I reconfigure my system to get a swap on the working drive and not loose any of the /home data? | 10:06 |
| umop-apisdn | olli: i don't have enough experience to be truly helpful, and for that i apologize. | 10:07 |
| olli | umop-apisdn, thank you for trying anyways! | 10:07 |
| Humanzy | my soundcard played everything until i updated to dapper drake, then flash plugin stopped working | 10:07 |
| piyush | hello, i m going to reintsall the OS...but i hav downloaded many packages....i want to use them for new sys....any help? | 10:08 |
| eris | Humanzy: u mean the sound stopped working in flash plugin? | 10:08 |
| Humanzy | yep | 10:08 |
| eris | if so, do you have more than one soundcard? | 10:08 |
| Humanzy | i may | 10:08 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | cool i found a way to make divx web player files play | 10:08 |
| Humanzy | i know i have integrated sound | 10:08 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | theres a plugin for firefox that can direct the divx files to vlc | 10:09 |
| Humanzy | so it coul dbe | 10:09 |
| eris | if so, its probably playing out the other card, i had same problem with crappy onboard sound card, vs my nice sblive | 10:09 |
| Humanzy | what can i do | 10:09 |
| eris | theres something on the fourms to fix it | 10:09 |
| Humanzy | also what's this plugin? | 10:09 |
| BernardB | Has somebody got a xChat script that shows a lot of sysinfo (uptime, best uptime, processor, motherboard etc.) (not xlack!)? | 10:09 |
| eris | try googling for: ubuntu multiple soundcard flash player | 10:10 |
| Tyczek | BernardB, go to www.xchat.org and search for sysinfo | 10:10 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | i have found this compiz fusion cube plugin to be awfully useful | 10:11 |
| umop-apisdn | anyone know why my machine would have eth0, eth1, eth3, and eth4 listed when i "ifconfig -a"? more importantly, what happened to eth2? | 10:11 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | i thought it was just pointless eye candy, but i use it all the time, every time i clutter up a cube side i switch to a clean side | 10:11 |
| umop-apisdn | oh, and to clarify... yes, i have 4 nics :) | 10:11 |
| eris | ja, its useful eye candy :P | 10:11 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | now the wobbly windows on the other hand, is pretty, and nothing more | 10:12 |
| eris | i use it lots for like keeping work related windows seperate from my irc/web browsing :D | 10:12 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | eris yeah it is good for that | 10:12 |
| umop-apisdn | jkfdsjjklfds: actually, i use the wobbly windows to keep my boss from looking at my screen - he glances over, i wobble the window, he turns green... | 10:12 |
| Humanzy | also, it looks pretty, and makes people jealous | 10:12 |
| eris | does compiz have the burn effect? i like my wobbly windows to turn into a cloud of fairy dust when i close them | 10:12 |
| Humanzy | then you can be like | 10:12 |
| eris | it just looks nice | 10:12 |
| umop-apisdn | eris: yes | 10:13 |
| Humanzy | "yeah it was a total pain in the ass to set up, i'm so computer awesome, check it out" | 10:13 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | yeah compiz fusion has the burn | 10:13 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | and you can customize the burn a lot | 10:13 |
| biff420 | I'm not able to import/play anything in Rythmbox...any ideas? | 10:13 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | particles, burn time, size, color, etc | 10:13 |
| steven_ | hiw can i change the them for my task bar ? | 10:13 |
| eris | mmmhm, thats the bestest | 10:13 |
| loudnlownoma | cabrioleur: Well, the CD in the drive didn't change anything, but switching the HDD to boot first resolved it. Is that something new to Vista dual-boots? Can't seem to remember that being an issue on my laptop at all, with or without a CD in the drive as well. (Laptop has an XP/Feisty dual-boot) | 10:13 |
| === \`slushpuppy`\ is now known as pc_dark | ||
| umop-apisdn | eris: actually, i like the multi-colored particle burn effect, much cooler than just lighting it on fire - goes well with the "magic lamp" min/max effect | 10:14 |
| eris | yes i have that too | 10:14 |
| === pc_dark is now known as \`slushpuppy`\ | ||
| cabrioleur | loudnlownoma: no, it has nothing to do with vista. It's the motherboard and bios. | 10:14 |
| eris | tho using beryl, and i havent upgraded cause as someone said setting it up was a uber pita and that that it works no updating till im ready to upgrade the whole box :D | 10:14 |
| umop-apisdn | !ping | 10:15 |
| ubotu | pong | 10:15 |
| loudnlownoma | cabrioleur: Ahhhh, makes sense. That would have been my next guess, as this is the first I've run across that. Good to know though. Thanks again! I can't imagine how much hair I've lost trying to fix that. Been searching for answers for a few days now and getting nothing related to my issue... | 10:15 |
| biff420 | I'm not able to play/import anything in Rythmbox..any ideas? | 10:15 |
| umop-apisdn | eris: you'd be surprised how easy it is to set up on gibbon... and how little breaks now :) | 10:16 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | compiz fusion works good in gnome, but crappy in kde | 10:16 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | then again everything works crappy in kde | 10:16 |
| cabrioleur | biff420: if you are trying to import mp3's, install codecs first. | 10:16 |
| biff420 | cabrioleur: is there an option in the player? | 10:17 |
| loudnlownoma | !restricted | 10:17 |

| loudnlownoma | biff420: check out that first link | 10:18 |

| Tyczek | BernardB, well... I had one, but it was simple... and for long it's not as usefull... only spamm channel | 10:18 |
| biff420 | lounlownoma: i found the gstreamer stuff in syn | 10:19 |
| BernardB | Tyczek, it's not for this network, so that's no problem. | 10:19 |
| jeezers | can anyone help me step by step to have a media player installed? | 10:19 |
| loudnlownoma | Oh how the time flies.... 5 am already and 10 is gonna be here way too soon! Nite all, and thanks for all the help! | 10:20 |

| asdf | hi. How to list the content of a package ? | 10:22 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | take the package, and open it up and see whats inside | 10:22 |
| asdf | is it impossible with apt ? | 10:22 |
| jeezers | @jkfd~, i get an error wen i try it | 10:22 |
| Rainx | Is there someone that can help me with ubuntu once I get it installed? | 10:23 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | yeah, likely, rainx | 10:23 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | right hero | 10:23 |
| Rainx | ? | 10:23 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | lol come back here with questions | 10:23 |
| amikrop | I have a wireless-and-also-wired router. I, henceforth, want to connect to it with ethernet, and not wirelessly. How can I disable the wireless of my pc? (I don't even want roaming mode to be on, because it connects to other networks.) | 10:23 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | or consult documentation | 10:23 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | google is your best friend | 10:23 |
| Rainx | yes I know | 10:23 |
| Elko | asdf take a look at apt-file | 10:23 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | sweet! | 10:24 |
| Rainx | I've found many tutorials and such its hard to understand | 10:24 |
| cabrioleur | amikrop: blacklist the module :-) | 10:24 |
| asdf | thans Elko , i try | 10:24 |
| cabrioleur | amikrop: remove the card from motherboard. | 10:24 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | installing ubuntu shouldnt be hard | 10:24 |
| Rainx | oh no I know that much | 10:24 |
| cabrioleur | amikrop: set it up not to connect. | 10:24 |
| BernardB | Tyczek, the problem is this when I for example type in /sys: http://rafb.net/p/QqKi8Z99.html | 10:24 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | what problems are you planning on encountering? | 10:24 |
| Rainx | Im talking a bit lil more in debt like on how to get beryl running and such | 10:24 |
| amikrop | cabrioleur: Isn't there a more elegant way? :P | 10:24 |
| amikrop | cabrioleur: how? | 10:24 |
| Rainx | along with my video card correctly installed | 10:24 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | rainx, its easier than ever | 10:25 |
| x3roconf | Rainx: it's not hard.. | 10:25 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | you just enable your restricted driver in restricted driver manager | 10:25 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | and compiz fusion (beryl) works automatically | 10:25 |
| Rainx | last time i tried to install my video drivers and run beryl i could never log into it again | 10:25 |
| Rainx | i had to reformat | 10:25 |
| cabrioleur | amikrop: remove roaming, that's first. The network-manager will not work for wireless. Make sure the setup is not saying anything. It will skip. | 10:25 |
| Rainx | so this time im planning for some help lol | 10:25 |
| Tyczek | BernardB, umm... | 10:25 |
| amikrop | cabrioleur: How can I remove roaming mode? | 10:25 |
| jeezers | vlc: | 10:25 |
| jeezers | Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>=1.2.5) but it is not installable | 10:25 |
| jeezers | wat do i do?? | 10:25 |
| amikrop | If I do so, it is enabled again, since I don't give it manual connection information. | 10:26 |
| Tyczek | BernardB, dunno... The scripts worked fine for me... Maybe you should try another one ? | 10:26 |
| Rainx | does anyone know how to get world of warcraft working under ubuntu? | 10:26 |
| cabrioleur | amikrop: go to network configuration and uncheck roaming. | 10:26 |
| amikrop | Also, when I right click -> disable wireless, on the nm-applet, nect time I boot it is enabled again | 10:26 |
| amikrop | If I do so, it is enabled again, since I don't give it manual connection information. | 10:26 |
| BernardB | Yes, I'll search for more. Thanks Tyczek | 10:26 |
| ScottG | Rainx: We use Crossover here but there are other ways I've been told. | 10:27 |
| timoo | Hello, am I in big trouble if I deleted the file /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh ? | 10:27 |
| Tyczek | BernardB, np | 10:27 |
| timoo | I'm quite scared | 10:27 |
| amikrop | cabrioleur: Actually, I am not allowed to click "OK" if I untick roaming, if I don't give manual connection info. | 10:27 |
| x3roconf | Rainx: try wine | 10:27 |
| Rainx | ok.... is crossover free? or does it cost | 10:28 |
| x3roconf | !wine | 10:28 |
| ubotu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 10:28 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | johnny_5 how is road runner in hawaii | 10:28 |
| Carbonflux | If you change your network setting when running LiveCD is there any way to restart the network and get ubuntu to use the net settings? | 10:28 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | slow? | 10:28 |
| scguy318 | Rainx: Crossover is payware | 10:28 |
| scguy318 | Rainx: with a 30-day trial | 10:28 |
| Rainx | oh darn | 10:28 |
| gegge0 | ciao | 10:28 |
| Rainx | one time payment | 10:28 |
| scguy318 | Rainx: Wine is what you want | 10:28 |
| gegge0 | !lista | 10:28 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lista - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:28 |
| Rainx | or monthly | 10:28 |
| timoo | Anyone knows if I have to re-install all over again if I deleted the file */etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh* ? I'm really scared... | 10:28 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | rainx you can sign up as a advocate to test beta software for crossover | 10:28 |
| scguy318 | Rainx: its one time | 10:29 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | then you get it free | 10:29 |
| ScottG | Rainx: I believe we paid $35 for it but if you can find a free way, try that first. | 10:29 |
| scguy318 | Rainx: what's missing from Wine that you would consider Crossover? | 10:29 |
| Rainx | am i ablet to post links here? I'll show you what ive read | 10:29 |
| scguy318 | Rainx: sure | 10:30 |
| Rainx | http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4727367100.html | 10:30 |
| ScottG | scguy318: Wine requires a lot of messing with.. in Crossover it just installed easily. | 10:30 |
| Rainx | exactly | 10:30 |
| Rainx | thats one reason not to bother with wine | 10:30 |
| Rainx | lol | 10:30 |
| scguy318 | ScottG: yeah, but I like my stuff free :) | 10:30 |
| zhancang | #ubuntu-cn | 10:30 |
| Rainx | I don't mind | 10:30 |
| scguy318 | ScottG: and there's not much messing, but whatever works for you :) | 10:30 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | rainx you can download crossover 6.2 for ubuntu gutsy here http://dl.btjunkie.org/torrent/Crossover-Linux-Pro-6-2-For-Debian-Ubuntu/4324e0022acf76a7fecb129da95b3013839f38d1a1b4/download.torrent | 10:30 |
| x3roconf | Rainx: u should use openoffice crossover is useless | 10:31 |
| scguy318 | is that...legit? | 10:31 |
| scguy318 | x3roconf: depends on what you're doing | 10:31 |
| h0n3st | umop-apisdn: it is on default port | 10:31 |
| ScottG | I do too.. but my wife plays WoW and crossover got it working so $35 was a small price to pay for peace :) | 10:31 |
| x3roconf | really..? | 10:31 |
| rsk | wow works in wine too | 10:31 |
| scguy318 | ScottG: WoW works on Wine but, hey, I would pay anything for the wife :) | 10:31 |
| Carbonflux | heh | 10:32 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | scottg thats cool. im joining the beta testers to get photoshop csx working | 10:32 |
| Rainx | well | 10:32 |
| Carbonflux | I take about a 50% frame rate hit running Wow in Wine when I have tired ti | 10:32 |
| Rainx | as soon as this ubuntu iso is done downloading im gonna install and be back | 10:32 |
| Rainx | so yeah | 10:32 |
| luddite | i have a question related to wine/ubuntu - is this not the appropriate IRC? | 10:32 |
| scguy318 | Carbonflux: latest Wine has some regressions, as for 0.9.50 I think | 10:32 |
| scguy318 | Carbonflux: not sure about .51/.52 | 10:32 |
| tuntun | so ac97 drivers fubared ubuntu. How can I start ubuntu without sound? | 10:32 |
| ScottG | #winehq I believe | 10:33 |
| scguy318 | luddite: well, shoot, though you may be better served in #winehq | 10:33 |
| Carbonflux | scguy318: well I have not tried it for about a year, I assume its gotten a lot better | 10:33 |
| luddite | thanks scottG. ok | 10:33 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | upgrade from ac97 | 10:33 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | get some hi def | 10:33 |
| Rainx | ok i do not like kanotix.....but i have no other live disc on hand so it will have to do | 10:33 |
| scguy318 | Carbonflux: read the AppDb and see for yourself | 10:33 |
| Carbonflux | does anyone know how to restart the network when running liveCD ? | 10:33 |
| scguy318 | Carbonflux: as of...49, there are some reg tweaks that definitely improve rendering | 10:33 |
| Carbonflux | scguy318: I will, thank you :) | 10:33 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | oh no, he's gunna use kde | 10:33 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | kde BLOWS | 10:33 |
| Carbonflux | I woukld much rather use Wine then boot windows | 10:34 |
| ScottG | I think that's a matter of choice.. | 10:34 |
| Rainx | yay 5 min til download is done | 10:34 |
| ScottG | KDE/Gnome I mean.. not windows :) | 10:34 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | yeah, some choose to have slow unreliable systems | 10:34 |
| luddite | I have 2 remaining applications making me keep windowsxp on dual boot. a) nortel contivity b) steinbergs Nuendo3 (i have 1 years of recording data in it) | 10:34 |
| Carbonflux | I have playing pirates of the burning seas, some people have said the open beta already runs under wine | 10:34 |
| ubuntu_ | cuc cu | 10:34 |
| tuntun | How can I start ubuntu without sound? The ac97 drivers fubared ubuntu. | 10:34 |
| luddite | i cant get nuendo to open in wine. it starts then just dissapears. | 10:34 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | blacklist the ac97 driver in /etc/modprobe.d? | 10:35 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | (guess) | 10:35 |
| scguy318 | luddite: what's nuendo? | 10:35 |
| ubuntu_ | who can instruct me redhat linux | 10:35 |
| luddite | tuntun: or turn it off in the bios | 10:35 |
| scguy318 | ubuntu_: no one here, this channel is for Ubuntu support | 10:35 |
| Carbonflux | does anyone know how to restart the network when running liveCD ? I do a manual config and change the settings but I don't see any way to restart the network with the new values | 10:35 |
| luddite | Nuendo is a multitrack audio recording prog | 10:35 |
| scguy318 | ubuntu_: I would wager #redhat? | 10:35 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | maybe we could offer him a little english support | 10:35 |
| tuntun | cant | 10:35 |
| luddite | tuntun - why | 10:36 |
| scguy318 | ubuntu_: you probably should join #redhat for RHEL/Fedora needs | 10:36 |
| scguy318 | ubuntu_: and be sure to read the topic! :) | 10:36 |

| g0rb3h | retro: it might not be too bad if you havent messed with the rom in the device, mabe u just need to re write the file system to the storage bit? | 10:52 |
| luddite | tikiman - read the slashdot.org legals about user contributed content | 10:53 |
| Retro` | g0rb3h, so i basically destroyed the bootloader and the firmware... i can manage to mount the device with the e200tool but when i copy the appropriate .rom and the .mi4 files into it, those cannot be written for unknown reason | 10:53 |
| tikiman | luddite, thank you, I am considering starting a torrent tracker on my server | 10:53 |
| Retro` | g0rb3h, yes... please tell me how to do that | 10:53 |
| scguy318 | tikiman: oh, so the user posting is tracker uploads? | 10:54 |

| tikiman | scguy318, yes | 10:54 |
| scguy318 | jeezers: double click one, Totem or w/e should open up, get asked to install codecs, install codecs, shouldb e good | 10:54 |
| scguy318 | jeezers: of course, ensure that the appropriate...universe/multiverse repos are enabled | 10:55 |

| Luge | scguy318/ djm62: I'm aware of the cd command. But if I look in the GUI file browser, there's "Home Folder" and "File System". | 10:59 |
| scguy318 | jeezers: my personal player of choice, though not as fancy/pretty as Totem | 10:59 |
| Luge | I'm stuck in the "Home Folder". | 10:59 |
| jeezers | i tried tat too, installing vlc's causing erros too! | 10:59 |

| Retro` | g0rb3h, yes i follow the instructions properly and i mount the right bit of the device... i mount the 16 MB part of the device... the part on which the bootloader resides on | 10:59 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | this is not good | 10:59 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | this is really not good | 10:59 |
| scguy318 | Luge: change drives? | 10:59 |

| scguy318 | Luge: well, there's not really a concept of drives in *nix | 11:00 |
| scguy318 | Luge: instead, devices/partitions are mounted on directory mount points | 11:00 |
| Luge | scguy318: Right. Mount points. | 11:00 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | lol thats so hard to explain to windows veterans, where the c drive went | 11:01 |
| Retro` | g0rb3h, yes i did... i did that yesterday at my friends house... my device was not recognized in his Windows machine so we basically couldn't do anything | 11:01 |
| Luge | scguy318: And it seems to me that the home folder is mounted separately to the file system. | 11:01 |
| Retro` | g0rb3h, i have Ubuntu 7.10 btw | 11:01 |
| scguy318 | Luge: if you have it set up that way yes | 11:01 |

| jkfdsjjklfds | jeezers it would work if you put the official VLC repository in your sources.list | 11:02 |
| scguy318 | ^root^: you would remount the filesystem ro then do fsck /dev/blah | 11:02 |
| Luge | ? | 11:02 |
| scguy318 | ^root^: or you would do it from a LiveCD | 11:02 |
| scguy318 | jeezers: VLC is actually in the Ubuntu repos, if I'm not mistaken | 11:02 |
| scguy318 | jeezers: lemme look at that paste | 11:02 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | yes it is | 11:02 |
| jkfdsjjklfds | and its broken | 11:02 |
| scguy318 | Luge: you just cd to the mount point | 11:02 |
| scguy318 | Luge: it's just any old directory | 11:02 |
| ^root^ | scguy318, while fsck, should the partition unmounted? | 11:02 |

| chazco | I cant download from the internet, we have a tiny data allowance | 11:36 |

| Arelis | Can anybody help me with that problem? | 12:00 |
| scguy318 | !pastebin | tbarturbo | 12:00 |
| ubotu | tbarturbo: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 12:00 |
| g0rb3h | but after a text install it runs fine, even without tuning | 12:00 |
| tbarturbo | ok im on a different machine though.... | 12:01 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: oh ok | 12:01 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: um | 12:01 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: what does lspci | grep -i network say | 12:01 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: should be a one-liner (or none, might be a bad grep keyword) | 12:01 |
| scguy318 | Arelis: looks like for some reason your /var/lib/dpkg/status has experienced corruption, can you pastebin it? (big file tho) | 12:01 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: actually, never mind :) | 12:02 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: this exercise is a bit moot anyway, because ndiswrapper will take care | 12:03 |
| Areli1 | Apperantly i got disconnected. Can I ask my question again?: | 12:03 |
| Areli1 | Hi all. apt-get is behaving very weirdly. I tried installing thunar, then got this message: "dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 7720 package `libebook1.2-9': missing version". Since then, apt-get doesn't work anymore. | 12:03 |
| scguy318 | Arelis: looks like for some reason your /var/lib/dpkg/status has experienced corruption, can you pastebin it? (big file tho) | 12:03 |
| scguy318 | Areli1: sure | 12:03 |
| tbarturbo | SCGUY318 i think what u need is ATHEROS communications, inc AR5006EG 802.11 b/g wireless PCI express adpater (rev 01) | 12:03 |
| mpmc | Anyone know how I can extract mp3 audio from a mpeg ts stream? | 12:03 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: excellent, the Atheros kernel module is supposed to make your card work, have you tested using NetworkManager? if not, we can fall back to ndiswrapper | 12:03 |
| scguy318 | mpmc: ffmpeg | 12:03 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: do you have any removable storage? | 12:04 |
| g0rb3h | dont use ndiswrapper for atheros! that would be a crime! | 12:04 |
| tbarturbo | do u have a command line to install this xchat client to the other machine | 12:04 |

| Karyom | hai | 12:04 |
| mpmc | scguy318, ty m8. | 12:04 |
| scguy318 | g0rb3h: kernel kept failing asserts and my network streams were messed up :P | 12:04 |
| scguy318 | g0rb3h: madwifi would probably be a good idea, but I have never tested it as of date | 12:04 |
| tbarturbo | SCGUY only a cd rw drive mate | 12:04 |
| tbarturbo | SCGUY havent tried anything in network manager yet | 12:05 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: do you see the network icon in your upper right hand corner? | 12:05 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: try clicking on it and seeing if networks are shown | 12:05 |
| g0rb3h | 1X atheros card + 1X prism card + madwifi = powerful magix | 12:05 |

| tbarturbo | SCGUY318 yes i have a LAN connection | 12:19 |

| scguy318 | tbarturbo: dmesg dumps the kernel ring buffer | 13:20 |
| rexy | JayC: awk? | 13:21 |
| rexy | maybe just bash scripting can do it too | 13:21 |
| tbarturbo | SCguy318 i didnt do the dmesg in terminal first is that ok? | 13:21 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: interesting, looks like the driver encountered issues while attempting to initialize your device :S :( | 13:21 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: sec | 13:21 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo: that's ok | 13:21 |
| JayC | rexy: I know there is a way i dont need to know how to script im fine w/that im just wondering what the variable is? | 13:21 |
| rexy | JayC: havent the foggiest, i'd look it up in a book on awk/bash scripting | 13:22 |

| ^Hasanibrahim | i want to install amarok on my pc but | 13:23 |
| rexy | con-man: depends on what media you are trying to play, there is mplayer and the other thing that comes with ubuntu, but it might be drm'ed so you cant view it, what site are you trying to watch? | 13:23 |
| ^Hasanibrahim | i can't connect net | 13:23 |

| JayC | con-man: Do you have flash installed? | 13:24 |
| con-man | I have adobe flash installed yes | 13:24 |
| rexy | do you use no-script? | 13:25 |
| con-man | whats that? | 13:25 |
| rexy | then the answer is no | 13:25 |
| earthling | ^Hasanibrahim: what kind of connection do you have? | 13:25 |
| ^Hasanibrahim | earthling: | 13:25 |
| rexy | i'm not sure how to check if your adobe flash is working , but that's what you need | 13:25 |

| JayC | th0r: it is a streaming file is the problem | 13:26 |
| chazco | Hi... my USB keyboard wont work in 7.10 when connected to the motherboards USB ports, although it will work in the BIOS and grub... it does work in 7.10 when on a PCI expansion card, but then it cant be used for BIOS/GRUB. Any ideas? | 13:26 |

| th0r | JayC I'm not saying this script will do the job for you...but it is an example of how to do the filename handling | 13:27 |
| rexy | con-man: yup, works fine | 13:27 |

| scguy318 | tbarturbo2: this won't be fun for either of us but | 13:31 |
| th0r | JayC according to the man page for mplayer you can pass the url for the stream as part of the command line, so you could do the same sort of command with mplayer | 13:31 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo2: we'll need to install ndiswrapper from tarball | 13:31 |

| th0r | JayC the $1.avi $1.mp4 isn't ffmpeg specific...the command line parameters are passed as $x...$0 is the command on the command line, $1 the first parameter on the line...etc | 13:32 |

| scguy318 | tbarturbo2: lets see if you get this PM | 13:33 |
| JayC | th0r: Okay so the command id be using would be somthing like mplayer --dumpstream *url*/N.rm --dumpfile (here i want the filename N.rm as the output..How would i do that? | 13:33 |
| scguy318 | tbarturbo2: I've sent you a PM, hopefully you've received | 13:33 |
| th0r | JayC you could put the command in a loop "for * in ." I think would be the syntax....but I am not a bash scripter | 13:33 |
| tbarturbo2 | nope try the other nick | 13:33 |
| agamemnononon | How can i shrink the directory, not writing agamemnon@agamemnon.desktop:/media/Neos tomos/linux/programs/mysql$ and just writing .$ or /mysql$ | 13:33 |

| ququ | mythtv ... ok .. | 13:41 |
| enyc | hrrm on the matter of accissibility... I would really like to display a black-on-white PDF as white-on-black but I dont know how... ?does anybody here know howto? | 13:41 |
| th0r | JayC I am still not sure what you need to do...the script I pasted is a simple one file at a time thing...call that script 'dumprm' and make it executable. then at the terminal prompt type 'dumprm webcam'. the script would replace $1 with 'webcam' in the command line. | 13:41 |
| ququ | maybe nog very easy | 13:41 |
| rexy | enyc: if you cant change it in the viewer you could decompile it into tex and change it | 13:42 |
| simion314 | I USE LSPCI -V AND I GET A DECRIPTION OF MY VIDEO CARD BUT TO INSTALL THE DRIVER AT ati WEB PAGE I MUST DETERMINE THE SERIES WICH MY CARD BELONGS ,THE OUTPUT IS: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY (prog-if 00 [VGA]) | 13:42 |
| simion314 | Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation Evo N600c | 13:42 |
| JayC | th0r: i have 45 links with different filenames of which i was going to write a script to have mplayer download them all, they are all streams with a unique name | 13:42 |
| th0r | JayC you can expand that script...put the command line in a loop and pass the name from the loop...but like I said I haven't done much scripting so would have to study the guide to figure it out | 13:42 |
| ququ | with mythtv you watch from servers only ore also from tv card? | 13:42 |
| Ximal | how do I make vlc into my default dvd player .. rather than totem ? | 13:43 |
| rexy | simion314: dont paste, and dont use caps, also, dont use ati drivers, just the X driver is what you need | 13:43 |
| enyc | rexy: coo how would I do that? something wtih ghostscript? | 13:43 |
| Malin | enyc, you want only pdf white on black? because you may change the theme for an accessible one | 13:43 |
| scguy318 | simion314: if it's Mobility you prob dont need fglrx | 13:43 |
| th0r | JayC it would probably be easiest to put the urls in a text file and have the script parse the text file and issue the mplayer command. That way all youwould have to do in the future is make a new list of urls | 13:43 |
| rexy | enyc: pdf2tex and stuff, dont know really, i normally just edit in kile and have it compile for me | 13:44 |
| th0r | JayC I will probably take the time to figure it out today...now that you have me curious. But couldn't do that sort of script on the fly | 13:44 |
| JayC | th0r yeah, like a playlist | 13:44 |
| rexy | scguy318: i have the same card, ati doesnt support it | 13:44 |
| enyc | Malin: changed the system theme but it doesnt affect the actual page display in evince/xpdf | 13:44 |
| enyc | rexy: ill experiment ;-) | 13:44 |
| rexy | scguy318: well, i should correct it, it doesnt support it anymore with the binary drivers, the open source X driver works just fine though | 13:44 |
| === Ti1 is now known as Tim2 | ||

| zenrium | i'm at a loss currently | 13:45 |

| rexy | zenrium: remote or local? | 13:46 |
| Ximal | oh no.. it's when I put in dvd's .. they auto play on yucky totem | 13:46 |
| simion314 | scguy318: the X driver is not slower then the ATI driver? i want to test the new desktop effects and put my 3D accelerator to work | 13:46 |
| rexy | Ximal: dunno then | 13:47 |
| con-man | rexy nothing works. I have tried removing flash, removing firefox, Im stumped | 13:47 |
| rexy | simion314: the ATI driver does NOT work for your card period. | 13:47 |
| th0r | JayC the script starts with a for loop fetching the names | 13:47 |
| con-man | flash works on youtube but it shouldnt work at all if I have removed flash | 13:47 |
| rexy | maybe it's the opensource flash, there's two flavours you can install i think | 13:48 |
| con-man | o? | 13:48 |
| scguy318 | rexy, con-man: It's called Gnash | 13:48 |
| con-man | I need to install gnash? | 13:48 |
| scguy318 | con-man: no, that's the name of the open-source Flash | 13:48 |
| con-man | but why is flash working when flash-nofree and gnash or not installed | 13:49 |
| scguy318 | con-man: unfortunately the proprietary Adobe flash plugin works better than Gnash at the moment | 13:49 |
| rexy | yeah gnash, i just looked that up | 13:49 |
| JayC | th0r: This is over my head haha i have no idea what most of this means i did a little adobe flex but gave up so i know a few things but not most | 13:49 |

| zenrium | rexy: installed onto local pc.. using local browser.. the xinet environment appears to be configured to accept 903 | 13:50 |
| th0r | JayC well...that last url I sent has an example that is doing something quite similar to what you want...at least as far as fetching the name from a file | 13:50 |
| con-man | Im going to install gnash and see what happens | 13:50 |
| rexy | zenrium ,does the port show up with netstat, does it listen on local/public or both,is it blocked by the firewall, can you connect with nc? | 13:50 |
| ActySofts | when I installed gutsy I made a typo in my name (when the installer asked it), so how can I change my name? | 13:50 |
| con-man | but there is some other flash player that is in there that I cant find | 13:50 |
| th0r | JayC once that is done...passing it to the command line is a piece of cake. | 13:50 |
| zenrium | rexy: no, no, dont think I have a firewall by default with ubuntu ?, nc not sure but telnet localhost 903 doesnt work. | 13:50 |
| rexy | nc is fairly simple | 13:50 |
| rexy | telnet should work as well, you can look with netcat if it's actually listening | 13:51 |
| rexy | err | 13:51 |
| rexy | netstat | 13:51 |
| th0r | JayC there is also an irc channel for scripting...I think it is called #bash | 13:51 |
| zenrium | k nc says connection refused too soooo xinet issue ? | 13:51 |
| scguy318 | ActySofts: System -> PRefs -> About Me I think | 13:51 |
| JayC | th0r: Okay, i'll try my luck out there. Thx for your help =D if you find out anything let me know. | 13:51 |
| ActySofts | scguy318: there's no way to change it there AFAIK | 13:51 |
| rexy | zenrium: maybe, it clearly isnt listening then, and yes by defauly ubuntu does not come with a firewall on | 13:51 |
| zenrium | rexy: so even if its setup to use an xinet process its supposed to be listening? thought inet stuff just accepted when a request occurs.. rather than perm listens. | 13:52 |
| rexy | zenrium: in order to accept a request it has to be listening | 13:52 |
| zenrium | k xinet is an active process under ps aux :\ | 13:52 |

| th0r | con-man there is a file in the plugins folder for firefox that needs to be deleted. Called libflash.so or some such | 13:53 |
| th0r | con-man check /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 13:54 |
| rexy | Ximal: yes | 13:54 |
| zenrium | rexy: the fact that I am getting localhost [127.0.0.1] 903 (vmware-authd) : Connection refused - this indicates that xinet is working right.. and pasisng the request thru to the right daemon.. so there must be a permisions or config issue with vmware-authd ? | 13:54 |
| con-man | only the print plugin is there | 13:54 |
| Ximal | thanks rexy... i pla to do that then... with an extra lcd monitor ;) for gaming and movie watching.. hehe | 13:54 |

| con-man | that will work with metacafe? | 14:00 |
| ActySofts | when I installed gutsy I made a typo in my name (when the installer asked it), so how can I change my name? | 14:00 |
| hypn0 | what's metacafe :-/ a website | 14:01 |
| ActySofts | hypn0: yes, like youtube | 14:01 |
| con-man | yes! | 14:02 |
| con-man | it works! | 14:02 |
| hypn0 | adobe writes flash plugins, so it should work with any site | 14:02 |

| kane77 | annonymouse, well it's a web server... | 14:04 |
| HeXiLeD | genisoimage i mean growisosfs | 14:04 |
| kane77 | crushin_, just use custom command and use "vlc" as a command... | 14:04 |
| HeXiLeD | growisofs: no genisoimage options are permitted with =, aborting... | 14:05 |
| crushin_ | ty kane77 | 14:05 |

| zenrium | rexy: o.O I had to do sudo aptitude reinstall xinetd | 14:06 |
| rexy | zenrium: that seems, odd | 14:06 |
| rexy | given that it already forwarded the connection to the daemon? | 14:06 |
| zenrium | rexy: ya!! very! :) found it in here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server | 14:06 |

| jburd | What does this mean: "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon' and why the heck does GNOME do that on a default fresh Ubuntu installation? | 14:06 |
| c0nka | could someone help | 14:06 |
| crushin_ | command line interface | 14:06 |
| crushin_ | nice | 14:07 |
| c0nka | i installed linux with alternative installer and it did it successfully and everytime i go on to ubuntu the loading screen comes up and then goes on black screen even after configuring x | 14:07 |
| c0nka | ?? | 14:07 |
| rexy | annonymouse: the default / is under apache-default, you can do it there or define a new website | 14:07 |
| Stormx2 | c0nka: What does your Xorg log say? | 14:07 |
| c0nka | dunno | 14:07 |
| annonymouse | i dont undersatand rexy | 14:07 |
| c0nka | stormx2 | 14:08 |
| c0nka | what shall i type | 14:08 |
| c0nka | ?¿ | 14:08 |
| crushin_ | !enter c0nka | 14:08 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about enter c0nka - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 14:08 |
| Stormx2 | annonymouse: Put index.html in /var/www ? | 14:08 |
| HeXiLeD | i guess ubuntu is all GUI's now ? | 14:08 |
| HeXiLeD | no cmd line ?? | 14:08 |

| ActySofts | when I installed gutsy I made a typo in my name (when the installer asked it), so how can I change my name? | 14:08 |
| Stormx2 | HeXiLeD: You kidding? | 14:08 |
| rexy | Stormx2: i think the default / in the conf points to apache2-defaults | 14:08 |
| annonymouse | it wont let me paste it in there | 14:08 |
| crushin_ | \ | 14:09 |
| HeXiLeD | so it seems. Stormx2 i ask a cmd line question and 1200 users here dont seem to know. | 14:09 |
| erle- | any ubuntu64 maintainer here? | 14:09 |
| c0nka | ?¿ | 14:09 |
| Stormx2 | rexy: It doesn't. It points to /var/www, in which there is a redirect to apache2-default | 14:09 |
| * HeXiLeD is on console mode only with gentoo and ubunto | 14:09 | |
| annonymouse | rexy does that mean if its the default when i type http://localhost that should just show that web site? | 14:09 |
| rexy | Stormx2: ah, missed that then overwritung that works | 14:09 |
| iNeo | annonymouse: Change /etc/apache/httpd.conf so it will also use index.html | 14:10 |
| crushin_ | HeXiLeD, open a terminal and you can use comand line | 14:10 |
| rexy | HeXiLeD: your syntax seems a bit wrong, /dev/something=filename seems to be wrong judging by the error | 14:10 |
| Stormx2 | rexy, its worth symlinking /var/www to a directory in your home folder. That's what I do | 14:10 |
| BehiiMehii | I really can't figure this out, could somebody help me install w32codecs please? | 14:10 |

| HeXiLeD | that is my problem now | 14:10 |
| Stormx2 | c0nka: Your X.org log is in /var/log. I suppose you've been dropped to a command line, yeah? | 14:10 |
| tt_ | #CentOS | 14:11 |
| c0nka | stormx2: yeah | 14:11 |
| tt_ | Typo :P | 14:11 |
| HeXiLeD | works with other distros. | 14:11 |
| rexy | HeXiLeD: well it says it needs -o file directory, dont see that in your command line | 14:11 |
| HeXiLeD | rexy: why would i need that is that same cmg line works in other distros ? | 14:11 |
| rexy | maybe it's a newer version | 14:11 |
| rexy | or older | 14:12 |
| Stormx2 | c0nka, cd to that directory, then do a "grep (EE) Xorg.log" (or whatever the log file is called) | 14:12 |
| * HeXiLeD unbelievable ... | 14:12 | |
| rexy | did you take a look at the man page for suggestions? | 14:12 |
| c0nka | stormx2: doont get it | 14:12 |

| HeXiLeD | Myrtti: | 14:21 |

| HeXiLeD | ? | 14:21 |

| zenrium_ | sorry never used it before was trying to help tho.. | 14:23 |
| Stormx2 | c0nka, hmm, you have no Xorg log. | 14:23 |
| zenrium_ | growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso should work for sure | 14:23 |
| Stormx2 | Bleh | 14:23 |
| Stormx2 | I have no idea. | 14:23 |
| stompx | g0rb3h- how can find out to tell u? | 14:23 |
| Stormx2 | So I guess X never starts. | 14:23 |
| g0rb3h | Stormx2: are you useing the nvidia kernel module? | 14:24 |
| c0nka | stormmx2: o right | 14:24 |

| HeXiLeD | zenrium_: thanks for the tip. | 14:25 |
| Stormx2 | c0nka: Describe to me what happens when you load ubuntu. Do you get to a black screen with "Ubuntu" written in the middle, with a progress bar below? | 14:25 |
| * HeXiLeD will be killing symlinks soo | 14:25 | |
| Stormx2 | qwaz: You need to make it executable. chmod +x yourscript | 14:25 |
| RB2 | qwaz, Did you chmod it to give it executable ? | 14:25 |
| g0ju | Stormx2, huh? | 14:25 |
| afaict | The window manager is not loading anymore. The window title... the close button is not appearing.... What do I do ? | 14:25 |
| HeXiLeD | *soon | 14:25 |
| qwaz | ahhh | 14:25 |
| Stormx2 | g0ju: i use the nvidia-legacy module. The nvidia module is for newer cards. it doesn't support my old one | 14:26 |
| chelm | someone link me "how to" change ethernet MAC, but i loose it, does any1 know? | 14:26 |
| Stormx2 | Wait | 14:26 |
| Stormx2 | Wrong person. | 14:26 |
| Stormx2 | I meant g0rb3h, not g0ju | 14:26 |
| g0ju | k | 14:26 |
| g0ju | :> | 14:26 |
| enyc | chelm: i know it can be set at runtime with ifconfig | 14:26 |

| c0nka | stormmx2: i get to a black screen with "Ubuntu" written in the middle, with a progress bar below and the bar to full orange then just a black screen | 14:27 |
| Stormx2 | qwaz, it's worth making a ~/bin in your local path, so you don't have to fiddle around with sudo | 14:27 |
| chelm | ye, i'll check | 14:27 |
| annonymouse | okay im completely lost i dont get how to change this under apache to show an index.html can some one point me in the right direction | 14:27 |
| qwaz | Stormx2: I chmod -x it...still permission problem | 14:27 |
| g0rb3h | Stormx2: dont think i can help, i tried and failed miserably to configure another screen with an x11.conf many moons ago, only have experiance with the nvidia drivers now | 14:28 |
| HeXiLeD | zenrium_: its unbelievable . it wount work using the real device ( dev/scd0 ) but works using the symlink to it ( /dev/dvd ) . i better not even make a comment about this | 14:28 |
| RB2 | qwaz, It's chmod +x | 14:28 |
| qwaz | oh | 14:28 |
| zenrium_ | hexiled : lol yeah thats a bit borked for sure. | 14:28 |
| qwaz | <--retard | 14:28 |
| c0nka | stormmx2: i get to a black screen with "Ubuntu" written in the middle, with a progress bar below and the bar to full orange then just a black screen | 14:28 |
| RB2 | qwaz, -x takes away the executable permission | 14:28 |
| Stormx2 | annonymouse: First up you should remove everything under /var/www including the directory itself. sudo rm -rf /var/www | 14:28 |
| stompx | g0rb3h- I think my card is a 915 | 14:28 |
| mutable | I have deleted entry from keyring manager, but I'm still logged in | 14:28 |
| chelm | ah, if someone need, its here http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/ | 14:28 |
| annonymouse | wont that just delete the www folder? | 14:29 |
| Stormx2 | Yeah, but you don't need it. | 14:29 |
| Stormx2 | You can create it as a symlink to your home directory | 14:29 |
| gq_gunhed | hi there | 14:29 |
| Stormx2 | which is more useful. | 14:29 |
| Stormx2 | well, a directory in your home directory. | 14:29 |
| PriceChild | Stormx2, wait.... why is this a good idea? | 14:29 |

| Stormx2 | PriceChild: If you're using apache2 under ubuntu desktop, chances are you're not catering for multiple http user. it makes all the documents go under /home, which is where they should be, and it's easier to navigate to | 14:31 |

| Stormx2 | annonymouse, it should do, after running the sudo ln -s ~/www /var/www | 14:34 |
| sarthor | HeXiLeD, OK. its better reply. thank you. | 14:34 |
| qwaz | Stormx2: thanks for the help dude...appreciate it | 14:34 |
| brobostigon | sarthor: i know of no yahoo client that does webcam for linux, i dont think it even exists?? | 14:35 |
| RB2 | c0nka, Most likely X Settings. But, I'm not even sure where to start. Someone else might be able to walk you through it. | 14:35 |
| c0nka | anyone | 14:35 |
| RB2 | c0nka, What video card btw? | 14:35 |
| Stormx2 | !anyone | c0nka | 14:35 |
| ubotu | c0nka: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 14:35 |
| c0nka | rb2: ati radeon xpress 200 series | 14:36 |
| sarthor | brobostigon, Some forum says about gyache, and some about Kopote. | 14:36 |
| RB2 | c0nka, Yeah, I'm not up on the ATI stuff. Sry. | 14:36 |
| sarthor | but i am new.. dont know how to install gyache....trying. | 14:36 |
| stompx | With s-video is there just a setting in Kde or would I need a command? | 14:36 |
| stompx | <-- newbie | 14:36 |
| crushin_ | !video | 14:36 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications | 14:36 |
| c0nka | could anyone walk me through the x settings | 14:36 |
| Stormx2 | RB2: The interesting bit is that he has no X.org log whatsoever, suggesting X.org never even started | 14:37 |
| ramezhanna | i want to install the XenU kernel in dapper, what is the package name? | 14:37 |
| brobostigon | sarthor: search for it on packages.ubuntu.com , if it there you can install with synaptic or apt-get | 14:37 |
| IdleOne | !info gyache | 14:37 |
| ubotu | Package gyache does not exist in gutsy | 14:37 |
| sarthor | brobostigon, i think there is not reposittory for this. pakgmanager is unable to install this.. its not listed there. | 14:37 |
| RB2 | Stormx2, I figured it could be a resolution or screen setting. I had the same symptoms a while back and it was bad xorg params. | 14:38 |
| RB2 | Stormx2, It ended up being some obscure parameter I had never seen before. | 14:38 |
| J-_ | RB2: would reconfiguring X fix the problems? | 14:38 |
| VSpike | I was thinking about photo screensavers - I have all my photos on one machine, so I have to use sshfs or samba to access the data, then import the photos into f-spot, etc. I was thinking a client/server design would be much better, where a client makes a web request e.g. http://server/photoslide/next?hres=1024&vres=768 ... the server could then select a random photo and size it appropriately, then serve is as the response to the http request. Ad | 14:38 |
| VSpike | ditional things like filtering or categtories/tags could be added. Does anyone know if anything even vaguely like this exists, or have i found a project? | 14:38 |
| VSpike | Resizing on the client would avoid transferring a large amount of data on the wireless network just to throw most of it away | 14:39 |
| RB2 | J-_, it could. But if it detected it wrong in the first place, I'm not sure it's going to get it right the second time. ;) | 14:39 |
| === zenrium_ is now known as zenrium | ||
| RB2 | J-_, But it would be worth a try. | 14:39 |
| J-_ | RB2: cool | 14:40 |

| 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 | 14:40 |
| crushin_ | vspike how would you implememnt resizing ? when I touched website would you have some sort of hardware identifier to know what size my dt needed ? | 14:40 |
| VSpike | crushin_, the client would pass its screen size or desired size as parameters to the web request | 14:41 |
| RB2 | J-_, How did that ? get in the command from ubotu. I've never seen that before. | 14:41 |
| crushin_ | sounds like a project Vspike | 14:41 |
| grout_ | can someone tell me why i get this? bash: ./build.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory | 14:41 |
| c0nka | could anyone walk me through the x settings | 14:41 |
| RB2 | c0nka, Is this a new install or was it working before? | 14:42 |
| VSpike | crushin_, there's a command-line resizer, so it would be pretty easy to implement in perl or ruby or whatnot | 14:42 |
| J-_ | RB2: <!program> or <!problem> but msg the bot when pulling up a factoid. "/msg -freenode ubotu xorg" for example without quotes | 14:42 |

| annonymouse | wicked thanks | 14:44 |
| Stormx2 | grout_: Where's this build.sh from? | 14:44 |
| grout_ | Stormx2: Wargus | 14:44 |
| Stormx2 | Pardon? | 14:45 |
| grout_ | Wargus is a stratagus mod that allows it to run warcraft 2 | 14:45 |
| Stormx2 | ah | 14:45 |
| c0nka | has anyone else gt any ideas | 14:46 |
| Stormx2 | well, open up build.sh in a text editor, see if there are any extraneous characters after #!/bin/sh | 14:46 |
| grout_ | ok | 14:46 |
| GeeKa | ooOOOooooOO! | 14:46 |
| annonymouse | stormx2 sorry took me so long to follow ur instructions ive cleaned out my www folder accidently deleted it but got it back now what do i do now | 14:46 |

I tried to reinstall the xen packages but that doesn't solve the problem. ubuntu 7.10amd64 server. All vnc=0 domains work. Any ideas? | 14:48 |
| Stormx2 | Tucci, which settings did you change? | 14:48 |
| annonymouse | Stormx2 i did yes please | 14:48 |
| Stormx2 | annonymouse, okay, first create a directory in your home directory called "www" or "public_html" or whatever you want | 14:48 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Hi all . is there a decent partition tool that can fix partition tables and such? I've got a friends box here that has XP telling him "Invalid Partition Table" .. I'm not a MS user, so I'm really not sure where to help the guy. | 14:49 |
| Tucci | stormx2: not sure - but I think it was something in the network connections settings | 14:49 |
| annonymouse | yep Stormx2 done that | 14:49 |
| Stormx2 | Tucci, okay, open up System > Administration > Network | 14:49 |
| * NineTeen67Comet but I do have my Ubuntu Live cd here .. | 14:49 | |
| brobostigon | NineTeen67Comet: gparted will do that i think?? | 14:49 |
| unimatrix9 | there is an gparted live cd, google for it | 14:49 |
| Stormx2 | annonymouse, next, delete www from /var (sudo rm -rf /var/www) | 14:49 |
| NineTeen67Comet | brobostigon: I'll fire it up and see what it says .. thanks .. forgot about that one . :) | 14:49 |
| theunixgeek | What's a good Linux command-line IRC client? | 14:50 |
| unimatrix9 | use the livecd's gparted | 14:50 |

| simion314 | there is a mp3 player with a nice interface like xmms/winamp? i like xmms but on my 64 bit machine something hangs the system and the only app that was runing was xmms , i want to replace xmms but with something nicer then amarok or totem | 14:50 |
| J-_ | =) | 14:50 |
| Tucci | stormx2: damn - isn't the settings more or less the same though? | 14:51 |
| crushin_ | build.sh is part of the kernel? it helps buiild it ? | 14:51 |
| MGalaxy | how can I remove a package manually? | 14:51 |
| Stormx2 | simion314, try audacious-media-player. It's XMMS but a lot more modern (GTK2 interface, etc) | 14:51 |
| crushin_ | MGalaxy applications add/remove | 14:51 |
| brobostigon | simion314: try bmp ( beep media player) | 14:51 |
| annonymouse | it cant run that command correctly | 14:51 |
| J-_ | MGalaxy: sudo apt-get remove packagename | 14:51 |
| Stormx2 | Tucci, I'll try. First, can you see your router? Try going to it's IP in a web browser | 14:51 |
| annonymouse | doesnt like the -rf | 14:51 |
| Airbottl1 | try amaroK simion314 | 14:51 |
| crushin_ | o MGalaxy sudo apt-get remove --purge [packagename] | 14:51 |
| Stormx2 | No | 14:51 |
| Airbottl1 | very cool music player | 14:52 |
| Stormx2 | He want something XMMS like. AmaroK is about as far away from that as you can get, Airbottl1 | 14:52 |
| robdeman | hey all: where do I connect my harddrive? end part or middle part of IDE flatcable? | 14:52 |
| Stormx2 | brobostigon: audacious-media-player is a fork of bmp, as bmp is no longer developed. | 14:52 |
| annonymouse | ahh got it | 14:52 |
| robdeman | I mean: harddrive = Master with Slave present/ CD rom = Slave ... where do I connect them? | 14:52 |
| MGalaxy | crushin_ : J-_ : crushin_ : it fails, I mean completelly manually :D | 14:52 |
| annonymouse | okay Stormx2 | 14:52 |
| Tucci | stormx2: no I can't see the router | 14:53 |
| thiago | oi | 14:53 |
| Stormx2 | annonymouse: Now do "sudo ln -s /home/yourusernamehere/www /var/www" | 14:53 |

| cornell | Morning all... I've just installed Gutsy AMD64. I used Synaptic to install wine. The ubuntu docs say I should run winecfg. I've also found Applications/Wine/config (or something like that). When I do either, I get /home/myUser/.wine_randomCharacters, and the terminal hangs. I can still ssh in, and the machine's not hung. What am I doing wrong? Or is wine on Gutsy AMD64 ... not ready for prime time. | 14:55 |
| MGalaxy | crushin_ : J-_ : crushin_ : http://phpfi.com/286095 | 14:55 |
| NineTeen67Comet | unimatrix9: Well, it is his daughter's computer and it looked like it had quite a bit of stuff on it.. I can use ntfs-3g mount and see/edit the stuff in it .. Just wont boot into MS's OS. | 14:55 |
| Jolinar^ | how do i swap between gcc versions without gcc-config in ubuntu? | 14:56 |
| Stormx2 | cornell, run "winecfg" from a terminal, see what you get | 14:56 |
| zenrium | cornell: my brother just had a nightmare of a time with gutsy amd64 and wine so is going to try std gutsy instead. | 14:56 |
| quebex12 | any idea on how to create a bootable usb drive from an iso image within ubuntu? | 14:56 |

| J-_ | Stormx2: ohh sorry, I was searching for the name of audacious, couldn't remember the name but you threw the name up, and BMP which I didn't see. sorry =P | 14:56 |
| annonymouse | Stormx2 theres now an icon in my /var called www with an arrow in it so im guessing thats pointing at my home dir right? | 14:56 |

| Stormx2 | annonymouse, should be, yeah :) | 14:56 |
| quebex12 | thanks zenrium | 14:57 |
| Stormx2 | annonymouse, try adding a file to ~/www and see if it shows up under http://localhost | 14:57 |
| NineTeen67Comet | unimatrix9: I tried a couple fix things on the disk.. Think it was fixboot fixmbr and rebuild boot.ini .. they all gave errors . I might call him and say "I can save all your daughters stuff, but you are going to have to re-install. | 14:57 |
| Jolinar^ | does anyone know how to swap between gcc versions without gcc-config in ubuntu? | 14:57 |
| annonymouse | ~/www does that mean my home www or my /var/www | 14:57 |
| tyoc | How do I set permissions like drwxr-s--x actually I have drwxrw----?? | 14:58 |
| cornell | Stormx2: In gnome, I open a terminal, run winecfg and the gui halts. Via ssh, I can see that ~/wine_randomCharacters has been created. I've tried logging in with failsafe terminal, and done the same thing with same results. | 14:58 |
| annonymouse | i try to add one in my home var and i get told im not allowed | 14:58 |
| simion314 | the packages for 64 bit's cpu are diffrent from the one for 32 bits? are you people have problems with 64 bits computers? | 14:58 |
| crushin_ | MGalaxy, run same command and dont add --purge | 14:58 |
| unimatrix9 | NineTeen67Comet , could be one of the solutions, is the disk label active? | 14:58 |
| MGalaxy | crushin_: the same error message | 14:58 |
| cornell | simion314: So far the only problem I've had is that I can't install flash in firefox 64. So I removed it and install firefox 32. And it looks like I might have a problem with wine. | 14:59 |
| crushin_ | MGalaxy, try sudo apt-get uninstall [packagename] | 14:59 |
| annonymouse | Stormx2 in file explorer the /username/www folder has a padlock on it is this correct | 14:59 |
| NineTeen67Comet | unimatrix9: How do you mean disk label? In the live cd it doesn't show up as anything but sda1/ntfs format. | 14:59 |
| tyoc | and what the S mean in drwxr-s--x and how do I set it? | 14:59 |
| unimatrix9 | NineTeen67Comet , on the livecd start gparted and take an look at the disks, the one you need most should have an active label...as in bootable | 15:00 |
| MGalaxy | crushin_: E: Invalid operation uninstall | 15:00 |
| crushin_ | hmm. | 15:00 |
| MGalaxy | crushin_: apt-get has not "uninstall" | 15:00 |
| Jolinar^ | anyone know how to swap between gcc versions without gcc-config in ubuntu? | 15:01 |
| crushin_ | room will -f work on remove command ? sudo apt-get remove -f [package] | 15:01 |
| NineTeen67Comet | unimatrix9: aha .. yeah .. there are two on there .. It is an Compaq box, so I'm assuming the little 5gb spot in the beginning is the compaq rescue partition .. | 15:01 |
| unimatrix9 | NineTeen67Comet , if that fails, you could resort to an third party non free "hirensboot cd" wich might help, but i think it boils down to backup all and reinstall | 15:01 |

| |MakubeX| | Moul1: vim is on by default | 15:08 |
| Tilllinux | cornell: but why would you want to edit it manually? if wine is not starting, remove it completely with synaptics and then remove the .wine folder and do a clean install | 15:08 |
| am^2u | theunixgeek , tired it | 15:08 |
| Moul1 | Where do i find it? | 15:08 |
| Tilllinux | cornell: visit #winehq for more information :) | 15:08 |
| theunixgeek | Moul1: Apps>Accessories>terminal then type "vim" (no quotes) | 15:08 |
| am^2u | still doesnt help , same error | 15:08 |
| |MakubeX| | Moul1: just type vim on a console | 15:08 |

| mmr | anyone here have ever played poker in pokerroom? | 15:36 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, i installed ubuntu with alternative installer and it worked fine i restarted and the loading screen comes up then goes into a blackscreen | 15:36 |
| ompaul | mmr, you are offtopic | 15:36 |
| mmr | its a java applet and, for some reason, it does not have any sound in my ubuntu box | 15:36 |
| mmr | ompaul: not really | 15:36 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, you didn't get up to 5 lines but ok ;) | 15:36 |
| ompaul | !audio | mmr | 15:36 |
| ubotu | mmr: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 15:36 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, can you boot into single user mode? | 15:36 |
| fwar | ompaul hi again i still with the problem what to do now ? | 15:36 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, or telinit 3? | 15:36 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, what | 15:37 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, are you choosing generic or another kernel at boot? | 15:37 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, when you reboot which kernel are you choosing? | 15:37 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, ubuntu | 15:37 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, there must be more options than that! | 15:37 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, reboot now and tell what the full list of options is | 15:38 |
| mmr | sound works fine for most apps (like rythmbox, flash -youtube, for example, mplayer movies, etc), the problem seems to be specifically with java apps | 15:38 |
| taintsauce | g'morning. i'm having some troubles getting my LCD TV to play nice with X...anyone think they might be able to lend a hand? | 15:38 |
| lesshaste_ | can someone here help c0nka please? It has been a while since I reinstalled and he/she is confused | 15:38 |

| Karyom | Does someone now where I can find a OSX Dashbord like for Screenlets?!! | 15:42 |
| mmr | ompaul: i think thats a java issue | 15:42 |
| mmr | ompaul: not with the specific apps | 15:43 |
| * ompaul goes to find a java app with sound | 15:43 | |
| Tilllinux | Karyom: try either cairo/kiba-dock or the gDesklet ones | 15:43 |

| fwar | now i am using the failsafe gnome | 15:44 |
| ompaul | !install | c0nka | 15:44 |
| ubotu | c0nka: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 15:44 |
| Tilllinux | Karyom: hm, they *workforme* but I don't use them ^^ cairo/kiba is a bit buggy but a very customizable one | 15:44 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, if you answer the questions I asked I will try to help | 15:44 |
| ompaul | fwar, you have been told how to switch sessions | 15:44 |
| ompaul | fwar, when you go to log in there is a sessions option on the screen choose gnome in that | 15:44 |
| fwar | i did that | 15:44 |
| taintsauce | savage: do you have the kernel headers installed from synaptic? | 15:44 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, ok | 15:44 |
| Karyom | okay thanks I take a look on it | 15:44 |
| fwar | but it makes loop | 15:44 |
| ompaul | fwar, you have to make it your "default" | 15:45 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, what is your first language? | 15:45 |
| ompaul | fwar, or you have broken your system | 15:45 |
| ompaul | fwar, and the command I gave you should fix gnome | 15:45 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, you appear to be in the UK | 15:45 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, english Laughing Out Loud | 15:45 |
| fwar | ok | 15:45 |
| savage1 | taintsauce: I don't know, it's a mythbuntu install. I've installed build essentials and all that and the "linux source" but when I'm configuring lirc it's still saying that the kernel source is required | 15:45 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, then why don't you answer my questions? | 15:45 |
| fwar | i did | 15:46 |
| ompaul | savage1, there is a #mythubuntu channel ;-) | 15:46 |
| fwar | that one but the loop stills | 15:46 |
| ompaul | fwar, did it ever work? | 15:46 |
| fwar | it did noting | 15:46 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, i try | 15:46 |
| savage1 | ompaul: I understand that, but it's not a mythbuntu question it's an ubuntu question of installing the kernel source | 15:47 |
| savage1 | but that's for the heads up | 15:47 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, no you don't :) ...for example " and so when you choose ubuntu how far does it get *exactly* | 15:47 |
| taintsauce | savage: hm. i've never messed with mythbuntu. I would assume that it still uses synaptic/aptitude. try installing linux-headers-(kernel version) for your kernel | 15:47 |
| mmr | ompaul: you should try to listen to what people have to said instead of pointing them out as fast as you can, that is respect | 15:47 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, i toldyou | 15:47 |
| savage1 | taintsauce: It's just ubuntu w/ mythtv running on toip, same shit different smell | 15:47 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, i installed ubuntu with alternative installer and it worked fine i restarted and the loading screen comes up then goes into a blackscreen | 15:47 |
| taintsauce | fair enough | 15:48 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, that is not detailed enough | 15:48 |
| ompaul | savage1, apt-get install linux-source | 15:48 |
| CapaH | Hi everyone, I have an onboard audio -- as well as a soundblaster audigy card -- now, I need to know how to 'turn on' my onboard audio so that I can use it | 15:48 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, in any case... have you rebooted since then? | 15:48 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, does it always stop at the same place | 15:48 |
| lesshaste_ | ? | 15:48 |
| fwar | i want a command or something to restore my xserver | 15:48 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, yes | 15:48 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, can you boot into telinit 3? | 15:48 |
| CapaH | I have a sound source plugged into my 'line in' on the onboard audio but I do not hear sound on the speakers | 15:48 |
| ompaul | fwar, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 15:49 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, you need to work out how to add a command to the boot commands | 15:49 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, single user | 15:49 |
| savage1 | ompaul: I already did that, I said that, it's still wanting the kernel source | 15:49 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, single user? Can you write full sentences please | 15:49 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, I don't understand what you are saying | 15:49 |
| mmr | ompaul: any sound in java apps? | 15:49 |
| savage1 | how can I find out what kernel version I'm running | 15:49 |
| lesshaste_ | savage1, uname -a | 15:49 |
| savage1 | thanks lesshaste | 15:49 |
| CapaH | How can I instruct Ubuntu to use the onboard audio instead of the soundblaster? | 15:49 |
| mmr | anyone having problems with sound in java apps? | 15:50 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, is telnet 3 like a console | 15:50 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, yes | 15:50 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, yeah | 15:50 |
| fwar | ompaul, ok now i think i have to log out ? | 15:51 |
| ompaul | fwar, yes | 15:51 |
| fwar | ok brb | 15:51 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, why are you saying "yeah"?? | 15:51 |
| savage1 | christ finally I can make install this thanks guys | 15:51 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, yes | 15:51 |
| savage1 | kernel headers | 15:51 |
| savage1 | that's what it's all about | 15:52 |
| lesshaste_ | c0nka, I am going to leave you to it.. please ask someone else and use fully sentences..it is very hard to understand what you are saying | 15:52 |
| lesshaste_ | good luck | 15:52 |
| c0nka | lesshaste_, well thnx alot | 15:52 |
| nadio | can I install programs on a livecd? | 15:52 |

InMux and InVol mute themselves every time i move them. i'm at a loss as to how to bring up the volume of line-in for playba | 16:54 |

| haymaker | bazhang, does it show some prompt while its booting instead of the flash? | 17:03 |

| J-_ | lukasz: if it's still the guide, try to sudo the command. although that will give you superuser privs, and it may mess up your system. | 17:04 |
| bazhang | haymaker: you can also check the wiki at www.eeeuser.com ; they have details as well | 17:04 |

| Dr_Willis | fdisk, parted, gparted, qt_parted. | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis | I wouldent TOUCH Wubi... | 17:05 |
| `zaphod` | vincenz, I would perhaps login in singleuser mode as root, then umount the /home, delete that part, perhaps then use parted (console mode) to expand your / part, then the /home mount point will become part of / automatically (remove the /home info in your /etc/fstab)... make sense? That would allow you to put your /home in with root for optimal space usage | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 17:05 |

| lukasz | framebuffer code pls # defoptions=quiet splash | 17:21 |
| astro76 | kasplatt, no you would set the sda2 mount point to /, and sda1 mount point to like /media/windows, in the next step you'll check to format / but not /media/windows | 17:21 |
| Dr_Willis | kasplatt: '/' is the mountpoint - not /media/sda2 | 17:21 |
| epifanio | i've bought a pc, its processor is a intel core 2 quad, can i install on it the ubunto 64 bit ? | 17:21 |
| wols | epifanio: yes | 17:21 |
| haymaker | how do i put a package on a removable media so that i can install it on an isolated computer? | 17:21 |
| kasplatt | Dr_Willis: it was under the "Mount Point" tab in the installer | 17:21 |
| kasplatt | but ok | 17:21 |
| Dr_Willis | epifanio: should be able to. You may want to use the 32bit disrto however. Unless you have a specific Need for 64bit. | 17:21 |
| nickrud | lukasz, use vga=ask , try a few and pick the one you like | 17:21 |
| B-rabbit | How do i find a particular directory using the command line? | 17:21 |
| lukasz | ok thnx | 17:21 |
| wols | B-rabbit: locate, find | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | kasplatt: since it had existing data on it. the installer put it someplace 'safe' :) it assumes you dont want to trash it. | 17:22 |
| lukasz | looks like its rebooting time | 17:22 |
| Conker | I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 can I grow my linux partition? | 17:22 |
| epifanio | no i havent a specific Need for 64bit, the 32 bit is better for compatibility ? | 17:22 |
| J-_ | !gparted | Conker | 17:22 |
| ubotu | Conker: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 17:22 |
| Conker | I have a 30 gb drive and only 14 gb I'm able to access | 17:23 |
| B-rabbit | wols, thx | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Conker: live cd with gparted. - IF theres some space to resize it to. | 17:23 |
| Markov | Hi. I cannot access my windows NFTS partitions because "Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use." What it the procedure for fixing/getting around this? | 17:23 |
| nickrud | epifanio, very much so, like java & flash | 17:23 |
| kasplatt | mount point for sda2 = "media/disk" in gparted | 17:23 |
| wols | Markov: "mount |grep ntfs" | 17:23 |
| Conker | I have gparted | 17:23 |
| Markov | wols, nothing | 17:23 |
| wols | Markov: have you unmounted it uncleanly last time? | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | if windows crashes, or somthign else happens. the NTFS filesystem may need to get 'checked' to verify its good. | 17:24 |
| Markov | wols, maybe not... that would happen if i just shut off the computer? | 17:24 |
| Conker | i mean parted magic, I just run that live and add the rest to my existing partition? | 17:24 |
| mikebeecham | does anyone have any experience of using Gimp / Gimpshop? | 17:24 |
| wols | Markov: see what Dr_Willis said | 17:24 |
| Conker | Dr willis? | 17:25 |
| kasplatt | mikebeecham: a little | 17:25 |
| wols | mikebeecham: ask a real question | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Markov: try booting to windows. have windows check the disk.. THEN reboot windows and check it again > :) for the truely paranoid. | 17:25 |
| mikebeecham | wols...I'm getting there...and when I add a ? mark at the end...it denotes a question!!! | 17:25 |
| mikebeecham | :D | 17:25 |
| kasplatt | Dr_Willis: gparted doesn't give me the option to delete sda2 , only sda1 which I don't want to delete | 17:25 |
| Markov | Dr_Willis, wow! that _is_ paranoid! :) | 17:25 |
| epifanio | ok thanks ... i'll install the 32 bit, thanks for the suggestions :-) | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | kasplatt: the partitions you are working on. MUST MUST MUST - be unmounted. | 17:26 |
| Optyk | Hello | 17:26 |
| astro76 | kasplatt, try right click, unmount in gparted | 17:26 |
| Markov | Dr_Willis, I'll go out on a limb and only check it once | 17:26 |
| wols | mikebeecham: stupid questions, even if it's a question, is stupid. don't do it or we are led to believe you are stupid too. that would be bad | 17:26 |
| mikebeecham | Ok, I hagve heard that there is gimpshop, which is a kind of mod to Gimp to make it look like Photoshop...does anyone know where I could get it and how I could install it? | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 17:26 |
| kane77 | mikebeecham, if it's gimp specific you might find more experienced users at #gimp... | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | I hate gimpshop.. id rather learn the gimp layout. :) | 17:26 |
| mikebeecham | wols...and arrogance is the mark of foolishness | 17:26 |
| kasplatt | Dr_Willis: awesome , thanks | 17:26 |
| kasplatt | GIMP is nice | 17:26 |
| mikebeecham | kane77: thanks | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | GIMP is the kind of tool that one just needs to use, and use, and explore, and learn about. :) | 17:27 |

| mikebeecham | Dr Willis...why do you say that>? | 17:27 |
| mikebeecham | bazhang: sorry mate..>I just tend to give what I get | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebeecham: about what... | 17:27 |
| kasplatt | Dr_Willis: so I just delete sda2 , should I delete sda3 and sda5 also ? | 17:27 |
| facundo2 | what is this channel ubuntu español? | 17:27 |
| mikebeecham | Dr_Willis: Gimpshop...why is it bad? | 17:27 |
| nickrud | !es | facundo2 | 17:27 |
| ubotu | facundo2: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 17:27 |
| bazhang | !es | 17:27 |
| kasplatt | sda3 has a subsomething called sda5 which is swap | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebeecham: because its better to learn gimp as it is.. | 17:28 |
| Conker | without affecting my current OS can I combine the partition that I'm not using with the one I am? | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis | kasplatt: you can. that should be the swap partition. | 17:28 |
| mikebeecham | Dr_Willis: I'm a 10 year Photoshop user...it just seemed a little better to cross over than to try and learn all over again | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebeecham: you get on some other linux box/disrto and they got gimp but no gimpshop. now ya gotta learn the gimp. | 17:28 |
| Optyk | I have ftp server running on virtualbox guest server, ports is forwarded from host 2020 to guest 21, but Im unable to connect to ftp from host machine - 500 Illegal PORT command. But when I type ftp localhost on guest machine i can connect. Any ideas? | 17:28 |
| kasplatt | Dr_Willis: but will my freshly installed ubuntu use the old swap partition or should I delete the one I have now and use a new one ? | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebeecham: ask the photoshop people to make a photogimp and they will look at you funny. :) | 17:28 |
| astro76 | mikebeecham, not bad but unless you are invested in photoshop what's the point... plus the GUI in the latest GIMP version is very nice and much improved, you'll probably find it's less of a change from photoshop at this point | 17:28 |
| kasplatt | the installer makes one for me right ? | 17:29 |
| facundo2 | thankx! | 17:29 |
| astro76 | kasplatt, you can use the old | 17:29 |
| tinin | hahaha! I found partimage to be easier than dd command | 17:29 |
| mikebeecham | astro76: I have the gimp that came with Gutsy...is there a newer version then? | 17:29 |
| bazhang | nice work tinin | 17:29 |
| astro76 | tinin, partimage is good, not to mention it doesn't store empty space ;) | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Learning the layout/location of the icons is the easy part. :) learning 'how' to do stuff in an effective manor is the hard part. | 17:29 |
| mikebeecham | Dr_Willis: I agree with you, but someone has gone to the effort of doing gimpshop, so I thought it would help the transition if I am to use Linux full-time | 17:30 |
| kasplatt | Dr_Willis: i'll just delete everything except sda1 and let the installer do the rest , that would be best , right ? | 17:30 |
| astro76 | mikebeecham, maybe, but that's the one I meant (2.4.0-rc3) | 17:30 |
| bazhang | gimpshop is just a crutch | 17:30 |
| mark223 | how do I disable the animations and window dragging effects? | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | kasplatt: thats what i normally do | 17:30 |
| kasplatt | Dr_Willis: ok great | 17:30 |
| mikebeecham | bazhang: ....and possibily a handy one at this point ;) | 17:30 |
| nickrud | all tools are crutches, thankfully | 17:30 |
| astro76 | mikebeecham, but hey, install both and play around, if you just need to get work done quick maybe gimpshop will help ;) | 17:31 |
| astro76 | mikebeecham, when you have time, explore regular gimp | 17:31 |
| Bonner | Hey, I burnt the latest version of Ubuntu onto a disk (As in creating an installation disk) and did the disk integrity check. Unfortunately it came up with '1 error found' So I have to re-burn the disk or is there something that will find the error for me and correct it? | 17:31 |
| kasplatt | but gimp won't "lose" any features by using gimpshop will it ? | 17:31 |
| mikebeecham | astro76: which was my original question without wanting to begin a gimpshop flamewar...I am trying to find out where to get it and how to install it...I'm a fiarly new linux user | 17:31 |
| bazhang | regular gimp is far better imo mikebeecham | 17:31 |

| kasplatt | I can't delete the swap partition | 17:34 |
| cadorett | cool thanks | 17:34 |
| nickrud | mikebeecham, and you might want to read this http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/GimpShop | 17:34 |
| bazhang | no worries | 17:34 |
| nios | wols: okey but which are usblp.o ? :D | 17:34 |
| astro76 | glontu, double click them, or dpkg -i file.deb, be sure it's not already in ubuntu's repos, and that the .deb is designed for your version of Ubuntu | 17:34 |
| Zak | Isn't there a command to reset up X? | 17:34 |

| chazco | godzirra - Do you normally use "make install"? If so try checkinstall | 17:35 |
| godzirra | chazco: checkinstall? Ok, thanks. | 17:35 |
| nixnoob | glontu, yes | 17:35 |
| chazco | !checkinstall | godzirra | 17:36 |
| ubotu | godzirra: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 17:36 |

| soldats | Devourer, type "which glade" in terminal and it should say the version | 17:55 |
| eivindgl | but in general. for other programs as well, if i add a firewall and use different port numbers, is that *enough* for my personal server? | 17:55 |
| eivindgl | I'll disable password login with ssh. thanks all | 17:56 |
| ompaul | c0nka, I sent you a link have you any comments on it? | 17:56 |
| nixnoob | eivindgl, generally yes, I doubt you are in possession of information that a real hacker would be after | 17:56 |
| Rufus | COME #o{| | 17:56 |
| th0r_ | eivindgl: I moved ssh off port 22 and that totally eliminated hack attempts | 17:56 |
| c0nka | wa link | 17:57 |
| nixnoob | th0r_, yea its all script kiddies. | 17:57 |
| ompaul | !bootoptions | c0nka | 17:57 |
| ubotu | c0nka: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 17:57 |
| th0r_ | nixnoob Yeah. I expected it to cut down on the attempts...but in the year or so since I did that, absolutely NO attempts | 17:57 |
| c0nka | ubotu , it isnt tht | 17:58 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about it isnt tht - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:58 |
| brennand | !dvd | 17:58 |
| ubotu | 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 | 17:58 |

| chazco | Daft question but... how do you get the desktop cube up when its enabled? | 17:59 |
| godzirra | ok, so checkinstall craeted the package, but the package manager for ubuntu says that there's an upgraded version... how do I get synaptic to NOT think there's a more updated package than the one I just compiled? | 17:59 |
| nixnoob | chazco, ctrl+alt+mouse1 | 17:59 |
| chazco | godzirra - When using checkinstall make the version number higher... i put a 1- at the beginning usually | 17:59 |
| chazco | nixnoob - thanks :) | 18:00 |
| godzirra | Hmm... I tried that. | 18:00 |
| ompaul | c0nka, that is how people fix none booting CDs | 18:00 |
| chazco | nixnoob - Doesnt seem to do it, but thanks :) | 18:00 |
| godzirra | It says "From version 1:2.20-0ubuntu70-1 to 1:2.20.0-0ubuntu7 | 18:00 |
| godzirra | " | 18:00 |
| nixnoob | chazco, try draging something to the left or right offscreen, if that doesnt do it then ur cube is messsed up | 18:00 |
| chazco | Hmm... dragging off screen makes it happen | 18:01 |
| nixnoob | chazco, compiz? | 18:01 |
| chazco | Whatever is installed in Gusty by default (with the extra settings applet installed) | 18:01 |
| Zak | I just installed on a mac power pc and when it starts it gives me this error "Nautilus cant be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bonobo-activation-server and restarting Nautilus may fix the problem" How can I do this? | 18:01 |
| NET||abuse | Hey guys.. i've got a xp virtual image running under virtualbox, want to fork the image, keeping one on pre sp2 and update the other to sp2? is there a method for doing this? | 18:02 |
| nixnoob | chazco, you mean ccsm | 18:02 |
| Latheesan | hi everyone, can someone help me with a simple problem i have | 18:02 |
| chazco | compizconfig-settings-manager | 18:02 |
| nixnoob | chazco, check in ccsm maybe its not bound to any key combo. | 18:02 |
| Latheesan | i got the latest GCC on my machine, but i cant use it to compile | 18:02 |
| godzirra | chazco: So what do I do then? | 18:02 |
| Latheesan | how do i downgrade to gcc-3.3 | 18:02 |
| Latheesan | ? | 18:02 |
| chazco | godzirra - Try a higher number, it does do it | 18:02 |
| godzirra | I did. | 18:03 |
| godzirra | oh at teh beginning? | 18:03 |
| chazco | nixnoob - I see "unfold" under actions, which has ctrl+alt+down as its setting... doesnt seem to do anything though | 18:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | Latheesan: what are you trying to compile? | 18:03 |
| Latheesan | how do you downgrade GCC from the new version to some other old version? | 18:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | and why can't you use the latest gcc? | 18:03 |
| nixnoob | chazco, i dont think thats it, it should be something like rotate cube. | 18:03 |
| ompaul | !pinning | Latheesan (however what you are doing is not a good idea) | 18:03 |
| ubotu | Latheesan (however what you are doing is not a good idea): pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 18:03 |
| Latheesan | the problem is | 18:04 |
| nixnoob | chazco, are you holding mouse1? you have to hold ctrl+alt+mouse1 and move your mouse around. | 18:04 |
| chazco | Hmm... that has an entry under "button" but not key | 18:04 |
| Latheesan | im trying to compile a program and it keeps saying the c compiler cannot create executable | 18:04 |
| chazco | nixnoob - Yep... just copied that key and its working now :) | 18:04 |
| Latheesan | when i got a friend to downgrade to gcc-3.3 | 18:05 |
| Latheesan | it worked and the app also worked fine | 18:05 |
| chazco | Thanks nixnoob | 18:05 |
| nixnoob | chazco, werd, im doing this from memory cuz im on a winblows box now. | 18:05 |
| Latheesan | i forgot how he did it, so i came here to ask | 18:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | Latheesan: what is the app | 18:05 |
| Latheesan | it's a emulator for a game server | 18:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok. | 18:05 |
| nixnoob | Just a few more days. | 18:05 |
| Latheesan | i tried using export CC=/path/to/gcc-3.3 | 18:06 |
| Latheesan | but it didnt work | 18:06 |
| dury | hi there channel :) | 18:06 |
| Latheesan | cause it keeps using gcc-4.1 | 18:06 |
| Latheesan | and 4.1 cant compile on my machine for some reason | 18:06 |
| ompaul | Latheesan, try sudo apt-get install build-essential and see if that brings the goodness you need - you may find that the (source) code has deprecated insecure features in it | 18:07 |
| svenb | hi, I've just tried to install ubuntu on my pc, but can't booth it: error : "Alert! dev/sdb2 does not exists. Dropping to a shell." anyone familiar with this ? | 18:07 |

| Disastro | the card is nVidia GeForce FX 5500 128mb | 18:30 |

| ubotu | nila: 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 | 18:31 |
| ompaul | jgoo, have you got a lot of photos on it and when was the last time you formatted that card? | 18:31 |
| Disastro | many people are using that | 18:31 |
| infinitycircuit | Disastro, nvidia is the proprietary driver. it is to be avoided if you dislike nonfree software | 18:31 |
| Dr_willis | Disastro, nv is the 'gpl' driver. | 18:32 |
| infinitycircuit | Disastro, nv also has better support for older nvidia chips than geforce fx 5200 | 18:32 |

| cc77 | where did my windows buttons go in ubuntu after installing restricted drivers in 7.10? | 19:14 |
| jgoo | oddie: not really, but I only have one power / keyboard / mouse / video setup :p | 19:14 |
| Creationist | wishy: Once you install that, it will be located in System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effect Settings | 19:14 |
| ikonia | casdio: windows button ? | 19:14 |
| dash | Hi. Anybody got framebuffer console working? I've got 'radeonfb' loaded but there's no /dev/fb* devices | 19:14 |
| ikonia | oops | 19:14 |
| ikonia | cc77: windows buttons ? | 19:14 |
| dash | what did I miss? | 19:14 |
| white_eagle | cc77: windows buttons? | 19:14 |
| rkj | Hi, I'm trying to change the default font for emacs. on the man page it says to add a line to the .Xresources file and references the Xrdb man page which is, well, inscrutable. Any help would be appreciated. | 19:14 |
| KlrSpz | chazco: in the mime.types file? | 19:14 |
| JCDENTON | ikonia ok bye and have a pleasent day.... | 19:14 |
| ikonia | JCDENTON: thank you. | 19:15 |
| dash | rkj: yeah, the man page is basically a lie | 19:15 |
| Qaldune | i can't understand why is it so hard to change a md5 signature to make flashplugin-nonfree available... | 19:15 |
| JCDENTON | ;) | 19:15 |
| Creationist | cc77: Install libdecoration0 | 19:15 |
| jgoo | rkj: you want to change your .emacs file AFAIK | 19:15 |
| KlrSpz | chazco: use grep? grep -e 'mimetypehere' mime.types | 19:15 |
| ikonia | Qaldune: the md5 sigs is NOT the problem | 19:15 |
| chazco | KlrSpz - I've tried grep magic to detect my own mime.type, but i'd like to check for any that has been added before the .deb was | 19:15 |
| casdio | it's not working KlrSpz | 19:15 |
| casdio | :s | 19:15 |
| ikonia | Qaldune: and you've just shown how little you understand about the problem. | 19:15 |
| dash | rkj: emacs' customize system can change your .emacs for you | 19:15 |
| Qaldune | ikonia: well actually it is the problem i get | 19:15 |
| wishy | thanks Creationist! i got it | 19:15 |
| justin__ | hi guys need a lil help installing a webcam | 19:15 |
| Creationist | wishy: np | 19:15 |
| jgoo | rkj: I don't have mine but I either use bitstream, lucida or I even tried consolas (blegh) | 19:15 |
| KlrSpz | casdio: then it's not a executable file, what are you tyring to do? | 19:15 |
| c0nka | nickrud: what next i cant see the what you pasted on here or it doesnt look similar | 19:15 |
| oddie | jgoo: some cameras let you change the communication protocol. go to the camera menu and check | 19:15 |
| dash | rkj: M-x customize-faces I think | 19:15 |
| chazco | The trouble is there are so many places they could be stored... e.g. in .local or in freedesktop.org.xml or in their own files... | 19:15 |
| dash | rkj: change the 'default' face | 19:15 |
| sobersabre | hi guys. | 19:15 |
| ikonia | Qaldune: no - thats an issue with the deb package format, and md5's the flash plugin version HAS changed and that is also causing issues. | 19:15 |
| KlrSpz | chazco: like a diff? you can do grep -v to match inverse | 19:15 |
| jgoo | oddie: what should I look to set it to? I am checking now, thanks | 19:16 |
| sobersabre | is there something interesting in printers by olivetti ? | 19:16 |
| Qaldune | ok | 19:16 |
| arooni | i want to run: 'unison simple' .... to keep my /home directory in sync with my PC's /home directory. i was thinking of doing this upon every login and when i logout. assuming this is a good approach, i know how to do it on login, but how would i do this on logout? | 19:16 |
| Creationist | jgoo: USB protocol will be either MTP or MSC | 19:16 |
| dash | so. anybody here have a working framebuffer console? | 19:16 |
| justin__ | can anyone help me install a webcam? | 19:16 |
| KlrSpz | chazco: ah yeah.. that's gunna be a pita | 19:16 |
| TwoD_ | ikonia, you mean it's one per port? | 19:16 |
| ikonia | dash: not with ati. | 19:16 |
| sobersabre | dash: yes. | 19:16 |
| TwoD_ | That would explain it | 19:16 |
| ikonia | TwoD_: just offering a suggestion. | 19:16 |
| c0nka | nickrud: what next i cant see the what you pasted on here or it doesnt look similar | 19:16 |
| nickrud | c0nka, look for the section that has Driver "ati" ,that's the right section. the rest will be a little different, and you won't have the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines yet | 19:16 |
| chazco | KlrSpz - The trouble is i'm not sure what the mimetype is either... for me its always going to be the same, but if another is there that conflicts (quite likly in this case) | 19:16 |
| casdio | KlrSpz: i have a .bin file, a game, i want to install it. I do chmod 775, and then i can't do ./namefile.bin (file not found) | 19:16 |
| arooni-mobile | i want to run: 'unison simple' .... to keep my /home directory in sync with my PC's /home directory. i was thinking of doing this upon every login and when i logout. assuming this is a good approach, i know how to do it on login, but how would i do this on logout? | 19:16 |
| dash | sobersabre: anything you had to do other than load the kernel module? | 19:16 |
| TwoD_ | ikonia, ah | 19:16 |
| oddie | jgoo: e.g. in my canon camera I had to change comm protocol from "PC connection" to "printer/ptp" for it to work under vista | 19:16 |
| sulle | Creationist http://pastebin.ca/838916 | 19:16 |
| dash | arooni: zsh has a .zlogout file | 19:16 |
| cc77 | Creationist: it' s already installed and it seems that lib does what is missing. Should I reinstall it? | 19:16 |
| sobersabre | dash: I am sure somebody here has a working framebuffer. | 19:16 |
| c0nka | nickrud: it doesnt ati or nothing | 19:17 |
| crdlb | cc77: you're using compiz? | 19:17 |
| jgoo | oddie: this is a cheap panasonic, I just looked, looks like no such settings | 19:17 |
| dash | sobersabre: ok great. when you do, let me know | 19:17 |
| sobersabre | dash: ok. | 19:17 |
| dash | arooni: the tricky part of your idea is that you might have more than one login at a time | 19:17 |
| cc77 | crdlb: ubuntu is, so shows synaptic. | 19:17 |
| arooni | dash, whats zsh | 19:17 |
| nickrud | c0nka, yes it does. You told me it did, when you said you saw ati from the grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf command | 19:17 |
| dash | arooni: so you might prefer to just use a cron job | 19:17 |
| Creationist | cc77: Well, first try running "metacity --replace" | 19:17 |
| sobersabre | arooni: zsh is the Z-shell. | 19:17 |
| glontu | i have just installed ubuntu with the network unplugged. Now it dosn't detect my network card but ... strangely enough i can se a modem in the network config ( i have no modem in my computer ) | 19:17 |
| ikonia | arooni: another shell, like bash or dash | 19:17 |
| Creationist | cc77: Does that fix it? | 19:17 |
| rencore_ | in inkscape how can i fill a path | 19:17 |
| rkj | dash: where do I find my .emacs file? | 19:18 |
| glontu | how can i add the ethernet card ? | 19:18 |
| arooni | dash, how often would you have it run? | 19:18 |
| sulle | Creationist: http://pastebin.ca/838920 | 19:18 |
| c0nka | nickrud: it doesnt say it | 19:18 |
| c0nka | tho | 19:18 |
| ikonia | rkj: normall in your home dir | 19:18 |
| dash | rkj: in your home directory | 19:18 |
| justin__ | hey anyone here know how to install a gigaware webcam | 19:18 |
| hasanibrahim | Creationist, | 19:18 |
| cc77 | Creationist: its: apt-get install metacity --replace? | 19:18 |
| chazco | ikonia - any chance of recommending a .deb I can look at which sets up mime types, to see if i've missed anything? | 19:18 |
| crdlb | cc77: no | 19:18 |
| crdlb | cc77: just 'metacity --replace' | 19:18 |
| oddie | Creationist: do you believe in evolution? | 19:18 |
| rkj | ikonia: so if it's not there I just create it? What's the format? | 19:18 |
| larson9999 | here goes my first dvd authoring attempt. shouldn't take more than a month or 2 | 19:18 |
| jgoo | oddie: I don't believe in evolution :-) | 19:18 |
| hasanibrahim | Creationist, bo bootable medium found :( | 19:18 |
| ikonia | chazco: ahhh apologies, I remember you from a while ago. | 19:19 |

| ubotu | oddie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 19:19 |
| crdlb | oddie: please not here | 19:19 |
| Creationist | oddie: Try asking an intelligent question and I may respond. | 19:19 |
| ikonia | rkj: google will show you examples | 19:19 |
| justin__ | hello? a lil help anybody? | 19:19 |
| === mouse_ is now known as mouse | ||
| |Quest| | need help pretty badly... any nice guy. who can guide me to run me pci alpha tv tuner. ? | 19:19 |
| ikonia | chazco: your packaging up an unusual propritary software package are you not ? | 19:19 |
| chazco | Had a look, trying to find the "ubuntu" approved style :) | 19:19 |
| nickrud | c0nka, look again. You will see Sections, like InputDevice, Screen, Monitor, Device. It's in Section Device | 19:19 |
| chazco | ikonia - yes | 19:19 |
| Creationist | hasanibrahim: I can't help you if you refuse to read what VirtualBox tries to tell you, bud. Sorry | 19:19 |
| sobersabre | dash: seriously about the fb | 19:19 |
| sobersabre | what graphic card do you have ? | 19:19 |
| dash | sobersabre: ati radeon 9800 | 19:19 |
| Creationist | cc77: No... press Alt-F2 and type in: metacity --replace | 19:19 |
| sulle | Creationist: Have you seen the post?. same error. | 19:19 |
| ikonia | chazco: I remember you, what I can suggest is look at any strongly gnome intergrated package, look at their mime types | 19:19 |
| c0nka | nickrud: it doesnt say it none of that | 19:19 |
| KlrSpz | casdio: sounds like that's right, but without specific info about the game i can't do athing for you | 19:19 |
| chazco | ikonia - It works, but what i'm concerned about is that users may have already installed it and added mime.types using the "Open with" functionality, which may clash | 19:20 |
| sobersabre | I never used that one, but basically the thing I do is: | 19:20 |
| mouse | hasanibrahim, did you try to run usermod? | 19:20 |
| dash | sobersabre: I _think_ it's worked in the past.... but I'm not sure :) I mean, usplash works | 19:20 |
| justin__ | yo this is the support channel can i get some support? | 19:20 |
| casdio | KlrSpz: game name? | 19:20 |
| dash | justin__: sometimes! | 19:20 |
| sobersabre | video=intelfb:1024x768 vga=0x317 | 19:20 |
| ChrisULM | justin__, whats the question | 19:20 |
| rkj | ikonia, dash: Am I the only one who thinks it ridiculous to have to invest so much time to do such trivial things? | 19:20 |
| crdlb | dash: are you using fglrx or radeon? | 19:20 |
| Creationist | sulle: Yeah. First of all, what you're trying to do is illegal. But eh well, what else would you want to burn a DVD ISO for? ;) | 19:20 |
| sobersabre | which indicates I have intel card. | 19:20 |
| justin__ | i got a gigaware webcam | 19:20 |
| KlrSpz | casdio: yes | 19:20 |
| hasanibrahim | mouse, | 19:20 |
| nickrud | c0nka, then you mis typed something at the start. Hit control X , and say no when it asks about saving on the white line | 19:20 |
| justin__ | and ubuntu didnt install | 19:20 |
| ikonia | rkj: yes, you are the only one who thinks that. It's 10 minutes work. | 19:20 |
| justin__ | it wasnt plugged in during install | 19:20 |
| hasanibrahim | i did but | 19:20 |
| Creationist | sulle: Seems to me like it's a hardware issue. Can you play DVDs with that drive in Ubuntu? | 19:20 |
| glontu | can anyone please tell me how to make ubuntu detect my ethernet card ? | 19:20 |
| diagon | rkj: can you change the oil on your car? | 19:20 |
| hasanibrahim | fatal error | 19:20 |
| sulle | Creationist: heheh I dont care if making a backup of a movie of mine is illegal :P | 19:20 |
| justin__ | and all i got is windows drivers | 19:20 |
| ChrisULM | justin__, www.ubuntuforums.org and do a search for the model | 19:20 |
| dash | rkj: welcome to the land of computers! everything takes too much work | 19:20 |
| sobersabre | dash: you may have to use another resolution and another vga mode. | 19:21 |
| casdio | KlrSpz: PlanetShift | 19:21 |
| sulle | Creationist: yes i can | 19:21 |
| Creationist | sulle: Nice cover, but yeah lol | 19:21 |
| mouse | hasanibrahim, what is the fatal error? | 19:21 |
| sulle | Creationist: i can also rip dvds with it. | 19:21 |
| sulle | =) | 19:21 |
| justin__ | ok thnx | 19:21 |
| dash | crdlb: hmm, I do have the fglrx module loaded | 19:21 |
| c0nka | nickrud: what shall i type again | 19:21 |
| hasanibrahim | Error Message: No bootable medium found. System halted | 19:21 |
| dash | crdlb: I suppose I can try it without that | 19:21 |
| crdlb | dash: if you want a framebuffer, you should use the open source driver | 19:21 |
| sobersabre | dash: does ATI card driver come with fb driver ? | 19:21 |
| Creationist | sulle: Stupid question: You're using a DVD BURNING drive with blank DVD's that are compatible with that drive's format, right? | 19:21 |
| nickrud | c0nka, nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf <---- make sure it's capital X on X11 | 19:21 |
| crdlb | dash: which is called "ati" | 19:21 |
| dash | sobersabre: not sure what you mean? | 19:21 |
| sulle | Creationist: Yes. | 19:21 |
| KlrSpz | casdio: 1 sec while i research | 19:21 |
| Miroslav | are there any problems with dual boot vista and gutsy or is it as simple as with xp and gutsy? | 19:22 |
| sobersabre | I mean: some cards come with native framebuffer driver. | 19:22 |
| ChrisULM | Miroslav, no problems here | 19:22 |
| casdio | thanks KlrSpz | 19:22 |
| at0myx | Brady: did the BIOS update work? | 19:22 |
| sobersabre | others don't so you need to use vga16fb driver. | 19:22 |
| sobersabre | dash: got that ? | 19:22 |
| Creationist | sulle: Well, not according to your error reports. It says it's a Sony DVD-ROM drive. | 19:22 |
| Creationist | sulle: Pioneer, rather. | 19:22 |
| f1sh3r | where do i put my *.php files for a lamp server | 19:22 |
| sulle | Creationist: but it works in windowns :S | 19:22 |
| Miroslav | ChirsULM, so vista will be added in grub antomatically after installing gutsy on fresh partition? | 19:23 |
| nickrud | f1sh3r, /var/www | 19:23 |
| c0nka | nickrud: ok done now what shall i look for | 19:23 |
| KlrSpz | casdio: try "sh bindfilename.bin" | 19:23 |
| sulle | Creationist: same files just diffrent OS. | 19:23 |
| hasanibrahim | Creationist, | 19:23 |
| hasanibrahim | thank you for all | 19:23 |
| nickrud | c0nka, look for Section "Driver" | 19:23 |
| Creationist | sulle: Hmm, actually, the k3b error reports bother a Pioneer DVD-ROM and a Sony DVD-RW. | 19:23 |
| f1sh3r | do i need to make myself part of a group to have access to that folder? | 19:23 |
| johnficca | I have two scripts that I need to run at boot one before the other and they need to run as root...how would I do that? | 19:23 |
| rkj | I guess the other 99.9% of the population who use windows and macs might be onto something. | 19:23 |
| sulle | hehaeh hes so popular "Creationist " | 19:23 |
| nickrud | f1sh3r, you need to use sudo to copy into that folder, it's owned by root | 19:23 |
| sulle | So what sould i do Creationist ? | 19:23 |
| sobersabre | johnficca: are these "init scripts" ? | 19:24 |
| dash | sobersabre: ah, the fglrx driver doesn't come with a framebuffer driver, no | 19:24 |
| dash | as far as I've seen | 19:24 |
| ChrisULM | Miroslav, if you have vista installed first and then ubuntu, grub should pick it up automatically. If you are installing vista AFTER you installed Ubuntu, you will have to reconfig grub using a live cd cause windows nukes to bootloader | 19:24 |
| sobersabre | dash: so use vga16fb | 19:24 |
| mouse | hasanibrahim, choose media. if you have only blank hdd-drive, you need to insert bootable CDROM and boot from it. | 19:24 |
| crdlb | dash: but the open source one does :) | 19:24 |
| crdlb | (radeonfb) | 19:24 |
| KlrSpz | casdio: although the instructions say to just chmod it and execute it:: http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=19389.0 | 19:24 |
| ChrisULM | *the bootloader | 19:24 |
| Creationist | sulle: Well, the generic "Input/Output Error" doesn't really tell you what the problem is. Do you have two optical drives installed? | 19:24 |
| c0nka | nickrud: there is no section "driver" mate | 19:24 |
| nickrud | c0nka, what do you see | 19:24 |
| dash | crdlb: yeah, uh, I had radeonfb loaded at boot | 19:24 |
| casdio | i'll see KlrSpz | 19:24 |
| dash | crdlb: still no fb* devices | 19:24 |
| sulle | Yes but i plugged out the other one. Creationist and that is not a DVD burner. | 19:24 |
| hasanibrahim | mouse, wait please | 19:25 |
| vv | Happy NY people !!! | 19:25 |
| crdlb | dash: it doesn't work with fglrx | 19:25 |
| simmerz | is there an easy way to increase the throughput on a 100Mbps network of an NFS connection? | 19:25 |
| dash | crdlb: Huh. didn't think about that | 19:25 |
| sobersabre | dash: have you seen what I've written ? | 19:25 |
| dash | sobersabre: Yeah -- | 19:25 |
| Miroslav | ChrisULM, I have vista, just have to add ubuntu ... I heard there ware some problems with NTFS on vista... | 19:25 |
| sobersabre | well use it. | 19:25 |
| dash | sobersabre: and after 'modprobe vga16fb' I do now see an fb0 device | 19:25 |
| dash | thanks | 19:25 |
| sulle | Creationist: no sh!t Creationist its pluggged in but its not that one i have tried to burn with. | 19:25 |
| ikonia | Miroslav: ntfs is native to vista | 19:25 |
| crdlb | c0nka: he meant Section "Device" | 19:25 |
| sobersabre | dash: the framebuffer not always works without a reboot. | 19:25 |
| ChrisULM | Miroslav, i have a duel boot with vista and ubuntu on two machines. no problems here | 19:25 |
| rkj | ikonia: do you know what command I would need to put in my .emacs file to specify the default font? | 19:26 |
| dash | sobersabre: well, at least I know that i'm on the right track :) | 19:26 |
| Creationist | sulle: Yeah, that was my suggestion. Try disconnecting the other one. | 19:26 |
| ChrisULM | grub should pick it up | 19:26 |
| ikonia | rkj: no | 19:26 |
| nickrud | crdlb, thanks, did I say driver? Sorry c0nka | 19:26 |
| dash | rkj: I can give my my config line, but you're probably better off using the customize interface | 19:26 |
| c0nka | i see section "inputdevice" 4 times, section "device" , section "screen" , section "serverlayout" , | 19:26 |
| === Luke_ is now known as Luke | ||
| ChrisULM | Miroslav, you have experience with duel boots with ubuntu and xp? | 19:26 |
| Miroslav | ikonia, i know, but I read that vista haf a bit different kind ntfs .. but if it works great ... :) | 19:26 |
| nickrud | c0nka, ah, device yes that's what we want. Sorry | 19:26 |
| Miroslav | ChrisULM, with XP yes ... it worked very nice | 19:26 |
| ikonia | Miroslav: it woks | 19:26 |
| ikonia | works | 19:27 |
| rkj | dash: so - does the customize interface go write a .emacs file? | 19:27 |
| ChrisULM | Miroslav, should be the same then | 19:27 |
| c0nka | nickrud: lol. npmate | 19:27 |
| dash | rkj: yep. | 19:27 |
| ChrisULM | good luck | 19:27 |
| Luke | is xsane segfaulting for people? | 19:27 |
| nickrud | c0nka, ok, back to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50145/ . You need to add the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines in that section | 19:27 |
| rkj | dash thanks, I'll give it a try. | 19:27 |
| Miroslav | ikonia: good :) | 19:27 |
| c0nka | ok | 19:27 |
| Chinaski1 | hello | 19:27 |
| Miroslav | ChrisULM, thanks, I am sure it will work :) | 19:27 |
| nickrud | c0nka, I got those values from http://support.packardbell.com/fr/item/index.php?i=spec_a520 , so they are right for the monitor you told me you have | 19:27 |
| c0nka | nickrud: ok shall i delete option on there | 19:28 |
| johnficca | sobersabre: they are script to get my wireless card working | 19:28 |
| flithm | hey everyone... is there a way to get a list of packages I've manually installed? | 19:28 |
| Chinaski1 | is it possible in nautilus to enter a webpage link and navigate the page in the same window?(like kde and konqueror?) | 19:28 |
| rencore_ | how can i avoid seeing things that go outside the document size in inkscape | 19:28 |
| johnficca | sobersabre: I'm just tried of running them after a reboot | 19:29 |
| nickrud | c0nka, no, delete nothing. Add those two lines | 19:29 |
| eugen_ | hi | 19:29 |
| luis_ | hello everyone | 19:29 |
| nickrud | c0nka, unless there are HorizSync and/or VertRefresh values already there. If so, change them to the ones I gave you. | 19:29 |

| Creationist | luis_: No, it isn't. But look into KTorrent. It's very powerful with a similar interface as uTorrent. | 19:31 |
| luis_ | thanks creationist | 19:31 |
| hasanibrahim | Creationist, can you look this please http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/2033/screenshotpz1.png | 19:31 |
| Creationist | DrKeith: Depends on the game. Sometimes the developers put the Linux install right on that disc, other times you need to download it from their site. | 19:31 |

| Creationist | glontu: Debian, Fedora and Windows are all still available. Go for it :P | 19:36 |
| Dr_willis | glontu, demand a refund! | 19:36 |
| ChrisULM | glontu, this is not a complain your ass off channel | 19:36 |

| Dr_willis | 'modem' ? i rember those - when i had my C64 | 19:37 |
| glontu | during the install process it did find my network card | 19:37 |
| nickrud | c0nka, did you log in? | 19:37 |

| glontu | but i had to install it with network unplugged | 19:37 |
| c0nka | nickrud, no nothing happened | 19:37 |

| brophat | anyone get encrypted file/filesystem working; either by using internals directly or by using some third party program? | 19:38 |

| ChrisULM | magical...... | 19:39 |
| craig54321 | i just switched to ubuntu today, and I am in need of a bit of help. | 19:39 |
| ChrisULM | craig, just ask | 19:39 |
| nickrud | c0nka, then something is very strange. I had you boot in recovery mode because the terminals work in that mode, even if the graphical stuff doesn't. | 19:39 |
| glontu | ChrisULM: it dosn't show it with ifconfig and i don't see it in the 'device manager' or with lspci | 19:39 |
| Creationist | qwaz: Hmm... I have a standard monitor and my movies are perfectly clear on it. Can you take a screenshot? | 19:39 |
| PriceChild | glontu, well then the hardware doesn't exist/is broken. | 19:39 |
| glontu | but i was able to use it 30 minutes ago on the live cd | 19:39 |
| qwaz | Creationist: sure, one sec man | 19:39 |
| c0nka | nickrud: ?¿ :/ | 19:39 |
| Creationist | !ask | craig54321 | 19:39 |
| ubotu | craig54321: Don't ask to ask a question, ask the question --On One Line -- that you need answered, and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 19:39 |
| tom1979 | can somebody help set my wifi up please?! | 19:40 |
| PriceChild | glontu, did you boot into windows inbetween the live cd and now? | 19:40 |
| glontu | no ... it's an empty hard drive ... the only SO is ubuntu | 19:40 |
| ChrisULM | glontu, wireless, wired or what? | 19:40 |
| T1m0thy | What options for fsck should I use? I have a LiveCD here and I need to check for and fix errors on /dev/sda1. | 19:40 |
| glontu | ethernet ... realtek | 19:40 |
| craig54321 | well, we have a wireless network thats wpa protected, i have a linksys card in my computer, but ubuntu is not recognizing it | 19:40 |
| nickrud | c0nka, possibly you should try another linux distro. Some distros simply aren't set up to recognize certain hardware properly, where another will recognize it. | 19:40 |
| PriceChild | glontu, if it doesn't appear in lsusb or lspci, then it doesn't exist. | 19:40 |
| glontu | wired | 19:40 |
| PriceChild | glontu, nevermind being detected properly/working. | 19:40 |
| Dr_willis | Thats weird that lspci isent seeing it.. | 19:40 |
| Creationist | glontu: Yeah, my ex's wifi worked perfectly from the LiveCD but took hours of Google and tweaking to get it to work after installing.... weird, huh? | 19:41 |
| justin__ | hey how to i play mp3's??? | 19:41 |
| c0nka | nickrud: what do you suggest | 19:41 |
| Dr_willis | !mp3 | justin__ | 19:41 |
| ubotu | justin__: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 19:41 |
| Creationist | !wireless | craig54321 | 19:41 |
| ubotu | craig54321: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 19:41 |
| nickrud | c0nka, I'd try suse first | 19:41 |
| glontu | Creationist: well that's not cool | 19:41 |
| Creationist | glontu: That's what I thought. It should be the other way around if anything. | 19:41 |
| c0nka | nickrud: do you need a dvd disk | 19:41 |
| c0nka | nickrud: or cd | 19:41 |
| qwaz | Creationist: http://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotjn1.png | 19:41 |
| T1m0thy | !fsck | 19:42 |
| ubotu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 19:42 |
| Dr_willis | I think the live-desktop cd - has more 'agressive' auto configuration/loading of modules. | 19:42 |
| nickrud | c0nka, cd is available | 19:42 |
| c0nka | ok | 19:42 |
| c0nka | nickrud: whats the site | 19:42 |

| graabein | navreet, have you googled xmms+flac? maybe you need a plugin/extra package for xmms? i don't know | 20:01 |

| crimsun | navreet: you'd need to grab an xmms-flac package prior to gutsy. | 20:01 |
| navreet | graabein, i think there is supposed to be a xmms-flac package | 20:01 |
| white_eagle | larson9999, you aren't the only one | 20:01 |
| Jukes | lol I want to do this properly so I'm trying to understand what's doing what, not go rushing into it | 20:01 |

| Kremlin[NA] | sobersabre: Ok thanks Ill try just download and install.. which version? RPM or norma? | 20:02 |
| crimsun | navreet: it was disabled in the flac source package so that we could demote xmms to universe. | 20:02 |
| navreet | crimsun, how come it isn't in the current distribution? | 20:02 |
| astro76 | !language | sulle | 20:02 |

| hey-hey | where is that line? | 20:22 |
| jake4d1 | flare183: I just input that command with afloppy disk inside it this time. It mounted, but past that it's worthless. I can't put my windows 2000 boot disk images on it and it claims that there's 3.5k free space on them. | 20:22 |
| Flare183 | Karyom: but yeah tried it didn't like it worked took forever | 20:22 |

| 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. | 20:23 |
| Karyom | is a virtual machine faster? | 20:23 |
| ActySofts | jaggy: read the topic: Adobe Flash plugin installation is currently broken, see ? /msg ubotu flash -----> so install Gnash | 20:23 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about flassissues - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:23 |
| Flare183 | Karyom: yeah most likely | 20:23 |

| graabein | hi i have problems with entering root password when adding printer in xfce (xubuntu 7.10) and i know i have the right password | 20:24 |
| VSpike | T1m0thy, it is ext2/3 | 20:24 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: so, what's up ? | 20:24 |
| VSpike | T1m0thy, if so, add -f option | 20:24 |
| graabein | so i'm guessing there's some ownership on some system file maybe? | 20:24 |
| x-X-x | sobersabre how do i create it ? | 20:25 |
| T1m0thy | VSpike, thanks. | 20:25 |
| ActySofts | sobersabre: did you see my paste? | 20:25 |
| sobersabre | aye. | 20:26 |
| ActySofts | then? | 20:26 |
| ActySofts | any ideas with banshee? | 20:26 |
| sobersabre | what is chosen for gstreamer-settings ? | 20:26 |
| hey-hey | sobersabre: how do i add verbose? | 20:26 |
| sobersabre | you press 'e' | 20:26 |
| sobersabre | and then you can edit the line. | 20:27 |
| ActySofts | sobersabre: ? | 20:27 |
| sobersabre | after you've done, press enter, and to boot press 'b; | 20:27 |
| hey-hey | when do i press e? | 20:27 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: I am thinking... | 20:27 |
| nothing0 | So Im setting up ubuntu on my laptop and cant get my linksys wireless card to work....the hardware profile shows it as "Airgo Networks Inc AGN300 802.11 a/b/g True MIMO Wireless Card" and not as the linksys it should...when I goto network settings there is only modem and wired connection listed....anyone have any insight? PM me if u have an idea | 20:27 |
| sobersabre | can you run gstreamer-properties ? | 20:27 |
| wolferine | i want to switch my ubuntu bx to an XP one again, I have a HD for my main partition, but also, a 500GB of data, which is ext3, can I use a tool in linux to make the 500GB change to NTFS/FAT32 pre-install, or can I use a tool in windows to switch the partition type --- all without losing my data ? | 20:27 |
| VSpike | T1m0thy, if you need to check the disk itself, you need to look into smartmontools or badblocks command | 20:27 |
| ActySofts | sobersabre: yes | 20:28 |
| hey-hey | sobersabre: what is the command to run the gui from the command prompt? | 20:28 |
| graabein | i add a printer in xubuntu/xfce and get root password popup, but it keeps popping up and i've rechecked password several times | 20:28 |
| sobersabre | and what are the chosen devices ? | 20:28 |
| sobersabre | hey-hey: I don't understand your question ? | 20:28 |
| ActySofts | output: esd, input: oss | 20:28 |
| sobersabre | you have successfully booted, and you see the "login:" prompt ? | 20:28 |
| VSpike | hey-hey, usually "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" | 20:28 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: don't you have ALSA ?!?! | 20:29 |
| hey-hey | im at root@my-pc:# ... how do i get the windows like gui? | 20:29 |
| ActySofts | I do | 20:29 |
| VSpike | hey-hey, unless you are logged in as root, in which case, omit the "sudo" | 20:29 |
| ActySofts | but I use OSS for input (with alsa-oss) because directly it doesn't work | 20:29 |
| sobersabre | hey-hey: is this ubuntu or kubuntu ? | 20:29 |
| T1m0thy | /dev/sda1: 195427/7045120 files (1.8% non-contiguous), 6784729/14080964 blocks <--- Does this mean my hard drive is fine if I get that at the end of a fsck? | 20:29 |
| VSpike | hey-hey, if you just want to test the xserver and skip the login manager, you can also use "startx" | 20:29 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: forget about OSS!!! | 20:29 |
| hey-hey | ubuntu | 20:29 |
| sobersabre | stop using it!!! | 20:29 |
| sobersabre | :) | 20:29 |
| sobersabre | ALSA is better. | 20:29 |
| Anderson | Hello hello | 20:29 |
| VSpike | sobersabre, tell that to the helix/realplayer folks | 20:30 |
| ActySofts | ...I'm not using OSS, it's ALSA's OSS emulation (alsa-oss) | 20:30 |
| Lagginator | Where can i find a list of mirrors for apt-get that work with ubuntu? | 20:30 |
| sobersabre | VSpike: who the hell uses that junk ? | 20:30 |
| tom1979 | Flare183 can you help at all then? maybe later if your busy right now... | 20:30 |
| sobersabre | helix/realplayer ? | 20:30 |
| sobersabre | amarok is better. | 20:30 |
| hey-hey | fatal error: no screens found | 20:30 |
| Anderson | Anyone have experience getting touchscreen drivers to work on a Panasonic Toughbook Cf-18? | 20:30 |
| Flare183 | tom1979: oh sorry you were saying | 20:30 |
| tom1979 | Flare183 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) | 20:30 |
| sobersabre | hey-hey: what version of ubuntu do you have ? | 20:31 |
| Flare183 | tom1979: oh one sec | 20:31 |
| hey-hey | 7.10 | 20:31 |
| ActySofts | also, I don't see what you guys have with OSS | 20:31 |
| VSpike | sobersabre, agreed, it's junk. If you have a better way to access BBC radio programs i'd love to know, because that crapware doesn't work for me at all | 20:31 |
| * Anderson expands his search | 20:31 | |
| Anderson | does anyone have any experience with touchscreens, besides end user? | 20:31 |
| tom1979 | Flare183 the terminal icon in the top right has no wifi options available to scan or connect... clean and updated gutsy install... ok when your ready ;) | 20:31 |
| sobersabre | Anderson: this is a foreplay question. | 20:31 |
| hey-hey | sobersabre:7.10 | 20:31 |
| sobersabre | what is the question ? | 20:31 |
| Flare183 | tom1979: first have you tried ndiswrapper? | 20:32 |
| T1m0thy | /dev/sda1: 195427/7045120 files (1.8% non-contiguous), 6784729/14080964 blocks <--- Does this mean my hard drive is fine if I get that at the end of a fsck? | 20:32 |
| ActySofts | sobersabre: http://insanecoding.blogspot.com/2007/05/sorry-state-of-sound-in-linux.html & http://4front-tech.com/hannublog/?p=5 shall get you briefed with OSS' history | 20:32 |
| hey-hey | i tried to start xwindows and it came up with a fatal error :( | 20:32 |
| Anderson | Is that a bad thing? | 20:32 |
| sobersabre | hey-hey: have you installed nvidia or ati ? | 20:33 |
| aurel_ | 'soir | 20:33 |
| Anderson | Um... I am having problems with my touchscreen and touchpad... | 20:33 |
| ActySofts | I can't get Banshee to play anything (mostly OGG Vorbis) and I don't see why it wouldn't. Any ideas? (sound works, and Amarok plays fine, so I bet it's a problem with Banshee itself) | 20:33 |
| lammer | I just downloaded Ubunto from http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ how can I install it ? It is a .iso file :) | 20:33 |
| hey-hey | sobersabre: no | 20:33 |
| tom1979 | flare183: i had SCGUY try that erlier on today on the 64bit install, i need line by line help with it, this is a 32bit install as he couldnt complete it earlier... | 20:33 |
| PriceChild | !install | lammer | 20:33 |
| ubotu | lammer: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| sobersabre | hey-hey: have you ever got the system up with X working ? | 20:33 |
| lammer | ok thanks | 20:33 |
| Anderson | They are both behaving erratically, when I touch the screen, the pointer is liable to go anywhere, and the touchpad does a double-tap again likely to occur anywhere. | 20:33 |
| VSpike | T1m0thy, it means the file system is find,. at least | 20:33 |
| Anderson | I understand it is probably a driver issue | 20:34 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: I don't understand you. | 20:34 |
| VSpike | T1m0thy, fine i mean | 20:34 |
| tom1979 | flare183: sorry i get confused easy with guides and how toos :( | 20:34 |
| sobersabre | I am using ALSA | 20:34 |
| sobersabre | ALSA can emulate OSS if you really want. | 20:34 |
| |Quest| | !mavarick | 20:34 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mavarick - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:34 |
| hey-hey | sobersabre: not on this box no | 20:34 |
| sobersabre | hey-hey: ok | 20:34 |
| ActySofts | I've told you 2 times that I'm using ALSA's emulation | 20:34 |
| hey-hey | it just refuses to boot | 20:34 |
| trakinas | thanks all! cheers | 20:34 |
| T1m0thy | VSpike, thanks. | 20:34 |
| Flare183 | tom1979: ok i'm going to tell you "line by line" but first (because of the traffic) will you join #ubuntu-us-sc | 20:34 |
| ActySofts | though I wish OSS was easy to install on ubuntu, at least mixing works on my card with it (unlike alsa) | 20:35 |
| b4ckd00red | hi all | 20:35 |
| tom1979 | flare183: ok im there | 20:35 |
| Flare183 | tom1979: i know | 20:35 |
| wolferine | i want to switch my ubuntu bx to an XP one again, I have a HD for my main partition, but also, a 500GB of data, which is ext3, can I use a tool in linux to make the 500GB change to NTFS/FAT32 pre-install, or can I use a tool in windows to switch the partition type --- all without losing my data ? | 20:35 |
| Anderson | And I just got this error trying to install a generic driver | 20:35 |
| robdig | /join #ubuntu-ga | 20:35 |
| ActySofts | anyway sobersabre, any more ideas with banshee? | 20:36 |
| ActySofts | wlferine: no | 20:36 |
| ActySofts | wolferine: ^ | 20:36 |
| hey-hey | sobersabre: is there any hope for my little box? | 20:37 |
| Shreik | hey, i installed windows and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to put it in the grub loader? | 20:37 |
| PriceChild | !fixgrub | Shreik | 20:37 |
| ubotu | Shreik: 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 | 20:37 |
| Shreik | i have grub installed | 20:38 |
| Shreik | grub is working fine | 20:38 |
| tremby | how do i go about requesting a package? | 20:38 |
| alzamabar_ | Hi, I've got an executable which I'd like to start as a service. How can I do? | 20:38 |
| Shreik | i just need it to let me load windows | 20:38 |
| ikonia | tremby: what do you want ? | 20:38 |
| PriceChild | Shreik, i'll pastebin mine for you to use as an example | 20:38 |
| Shreik | pricechild -- thanks | 20:38 |
| ikonia | Shreik: you need to add the windows option to the menu.lst file in /boot | 20:38 |
| tremby | ikonia: projectM. i haven't been able to compile it, due to my inexperience i expect. | 20:38 |
| PriceChild | Shreik, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50159/ | 20:39 |
| ikonia | tremby: is there a deb package already or is that what you want to request. | 20:39 |
| Shreik | ikonia but how do i know what to put for (hd#,#)? | 20:39 |
| PriceChild | Shreik, add something like that into /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:39 |
| ikonia | ahhh I see PriceChild has posted a help. | 20:39 |
| PriceChild | Shreik, remember grub counts from 0, not 1 | 20:39 |
| ikonia | Shreik: if you read the grub howto that should give you a solid idea | 20:39 |
| ikonia | !grub | Shreik | 20:39 |
| ubotu | Shreik: 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 | 20:39 |
| Shreik | so ubuntu is 0 and windows is one | 20:39 |
| alzamabar_ | Hi, does anybody know a good software for service management? | 20:39 |
| Anderson | !touchscreen | 20:39 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about touchscreen - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:39 |
| ikonia | Shreik: no, that depends on your partition layout | 20:40 |
| Shreik | so (hd0,1)? | 20:40 |
| TwoD_ | Shriek, if I'm not mistaken, first # is hdd num, second is partition num, starting at 0 | 20:40 |
| PriceChild | Shreik, pastebin fdisk -l, for us to see | 20:40 |
| tremby | ikonia: i haven't been able to find a deb package. there really should be one -- in case you don't know, it's an absolutely brilliant audio visualiser, a port of milkdrop (which you may have seen in winamp) to openGL, LGPL'd. far better than any other visualisation i've seen on Linux | 20:40 |
| x-X-x | whats the difference between src.tar.gz and tar.gz i use ubuntu | 20:40 |
| x-X-x | ? | 20:40 |
| av_ | does any body know of a good tool to clean temporary and unwanted files in linux akin to CCleaner for Windows | 20:40 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: thanks, interesting reading!!!! | 20:40 |
| ikonia | x-X-x: the contents of the file ? | 20:40 |
| x-X-x | whats the src then ? | 20:41 |
| ikonia | av_: nothing that i'm aware of. | 20:41 |
| ikonia | x-X-x: source | 20:41 |
| x-X-x | kk | 20:41 |
| Shreik | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50160/ | 20:41 |
| ActySofts | sobersabre: no problem | 20:41 |
| ActySofts | I can't get Banshee to play anything (mostly OGG Vorbis) and I don't see why it wouldn't. Any ideas? (sound works, and Amarok plays fine, so I bet it's a problem with Banshee itself) | 20:41 |
| PriceChild | Shreik, hd(0,1) | 20:41 |
| av_ | thanks ikonia | 20:41 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: have you tried to see if banshee is missing some library ? | 20:41 |
| sobersabre | run: | 20:42 |
| sobersabre | ldd /abolute/path/to/banshee/executable | 20:42 |
| sobersabre | and see if you have some "not found" stuff. | 20:42 |
| PriceChild | Shreik, is your windows in a different drive? as that means a little more magic | 20:42 |
| ikonia | sobersabre: why would it be missing a library | 20:42 |
| ActySofts | well, I installed it from "Add/Remove..." so I suspected it would be careful to install every dependency | 20:42 |
| ikonia | sobersabre: it would not install if it was missing a dependency | 20:42 |
| sobersabre | ikonia: I don't know. | 20:42 |
| sobersabre | ikonia: there are misc. deps. | 20:42 |
| PriceChild | Shreik, as in different drive to the drive grub is booted off | 20:42 |
| sobersabre | there's "required" | 20:42 |
| lolo | Hi anyone running Gutsy, can you tell me if your /lib/modules/"kernel name"/kernel/drivers/video/ has a folder of file named aty in there? | 20:42 |
| ikonia | sobersabre: functionatliy = required | 20:42 |
| sobersabre | and there's "optional", "recommended". | 20:42 |
| nothing0 | So Im setting up ubuntu on my laptop and cant get my linksys wireless card to work....the hardware profile shows it as "Airgo Networks Inc AGN300 802.11 a/b/g True MIMO Wireless Card" and not as the linksys it should...when I goto network settings there is only modem and wired connection listed....anyone have any insight? | 20:43 |
| VSpike | sobersabre, interesting POV here http://insanecoding.blogspot.com/2007/05/sorry-state-of-sound-in-linux.html | 20:43 |
| Shreik | i'm running windows on a second partition | 20:43 |
| Shreik | not a second drive | 20:43 |
| sobersabre | VSpike: I have just read it. | 20:43 |
| ActySofts | VSpike, I told him 'bout that | 20:43 |
| sobersabre | My thought is: | 20:43 |
| ActySofts | there's also: http://4front-tech.com/hannublog/?p=5 | 20:43 |
| VSpike | sobersabre, ActySofts : ah soz missed that cos I was reading it :) | 20:43 |
| Shreik | i'll reboot and see if it works now | 20:44 |
| lolo | Hi anyone running Gutsy, can you tell me if your /lib/modules/"kernel name"/kernel/drivers/video/ has a folder of file named aty in there? | 20:44 |
| sobersabre | the audio app developers are not ready from some perspective yo use linux as platform for their apps. | 20:44 |
| sobersabre | I mean big vendors | 20:44 |
| TwoD_ | Hmm, I had a dhcp3-server up and running before since I used my comp as a gateway. I disabled it in the Services list, but something still tries to shut it down when I reboot/shutdown and fails because it isn't running | 20:45 |
| sobersabre | like creamware, steinberg, apple propellerheads etc. | 20:45 |
| sobersabre | digidesign etc. | 20:45 |
| ActySofts | sobersabre: very big, I haven't even heard of them :P | 20:45 |
| sobersabre | and maybe this article is a p.r. by OSS guys :) | 20:45 |
| c0nka | have a guess what the livecd doesnt work | 20:45 |
| carrja | You know, I always wanted to be famous, but I never thought it would happen. All that changed on Christmas, when a three-inch hair grew on my back. A true holiday miracle. Now the Christmas Hair and I are destined to be entombed in the Guinness Book of World Records. | 20:46 |
| ikonia | !offtopic > carrja | 20:46 |
| sobersabre | I mean, if a card vendor signs an NDA with 4front, there's no reason for disclosing the specs for the card to the ALSA guys, | 20:46 |
| SirChasm | hey guys, I'm having problems with my KnetworkManager - the wireless network part of it stopped working. My BCM43xx driver is still active, according to restricted-manager, so the problem must be elsewhere | 20:46 |
| carrja | ikonia, but it's a christmas miracle!! | 20:47 |
| sobersabre | so, now there are some cards OSS works better with, and MOST cards that work with ALSA best. | 20:47 |
| sobersabre | :) | 20:47 |
| NemesisD | anyone use ddclient for dyndns? my config file for ddclient has always worked but for some reason it seems to have stopped updating on the dyndns site | 20:47 |
| ActySofts | sobersabre: OSS includes some drivers in binary-only, but the other ones are fully free software under GPL, CDDL & proprietary as well for you know who | 20:47 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: are you following my point ? | 20:47 |
| carrja | ignore ubotu*@* | 20:47 |
| ikonia | carrja: I don't care, this is a busy channel, please respect the rules. | 20:47 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: some ALSA drivers are based on OSS2 | 20:47 |
| sobersabre | I think current version of OSS is 4. | 20:48 |
| KlrSpz | question guys.. i'm trying to open a torrent by dbl clicking it but it doesn't work.. I see a small movement in my systray like an icon is loaded then closed really quick, and so i tested running "deluge mytorrent\ name.torrent" and it starts, but then throws an error saying it can't find name.torrent.. it seems that filenames with spaces are broken.. is this an actual bug with deluge, or xfce (running xubuntu btw) | 20:48 |
| ActySofts | you're right | 20:48 |
| ompaul | ifireball, yup | 20:48 |
| ompaul | ifireball, was afk | 20:48 |
| sobersabre | but, anyway: the vendor signs for NDA with 4front, he can say "ok, my card is supported by linux now". | 20:48 |
| ActySofts | but tell me this, if ALSA is better, why mixing doesn't work with my card, while on OSS it does? | 20:48 |
| bendm | sorry to interrupt, is there a channel for newbies somewhere? | 20:49 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: what card do you have ? | 20:49 |
| Anderson | Does anyone have a magic bullet for Panasonic Toughbook cf-18 touchscreens? | 20:49 |
| ikonia | bendm: you can get support in here. | 20:49 |
| ikonia | bendm: if you ask questions people will respond. | 20:49 |
| crimsun | ActySofts: um, mixing doesn't "work" that way with either oss or alsa. On both it's abstracted. | 20:49 |
| DG19075 | How do you modify a theme to get the rounded look as in the Mac-styles? I'd like this on the taskbars of my other themes... | 20:49 |
| bendm | ikonia: thanks | 20:49 |
| crimsun | ActySofts: the only difference is whether it's done in userspace or kernelspace. Your hardware isn't involved. | 20:49 |

| sobersabre | OMG. | 20:49 |

| sirAndrew | can someone tell me where i can find themes for ubuntu 7.10...the default one is kind of sad...and autumnish | 20:50 |
| ikonia | sirAndrew: gnome-look.org | 20:50 |
| sirAndrew | thanks | 20:50 |
| ActySofts | crimsun: maybe, but if I install OSS from the official site, I can run many apps playing at once (sunig OSS of course), while if I leave only ALSA, I can't | 20:50 |
| ActySofts | sirAndrew: http://www.gnome-look.org | 20:51 |
| crimsun | ActySofts: have you reported the bug so we can fix it? | 20:51 |
| ActySofts | no | 20:51 |
| adenosine534 | hello all, I am running server edition and I am trying to change from ngircd to oftc-hybrid, but ngircd will not install with "error code 1" | 20:51 |
| adenosine534 | any ideas? | 20:51 |
| ikonia | adenosine534: how are you changing | 20:52 |
| Anderson | I dunno the first thing about troubleshooting hardware, can someone point me in a good direction? | 20:52 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: have you tried this page: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cmipci | 20:52 |
| sobersabre | ? | 20:52 |
| DG19075 | Gnome-look has great themes there but I want to transplant the rounded Mac-style taskbar to some of my other themes | 20:52 |
| bendm | I have a question about a dual boot Windows XP Machine. After installing Ubuntu, XP still boots at startup. Do I need to configure GRUB? | 20:52 |
| sobersabre | have you actually created the .asoundrc file ? | 20:52 |
| ActySofts | sobersabre: no, why? | 20:52 |
| DG19075 | anyone have any ideas on how to do this? | 20:52 |
| sobersabre | because according to the page, if you create the page, you can have your mixing. | 20:52 |
| sobersabre | with ALSA. | 20:52 |
| Anderson | I dunno the first thing about troubleshooting hardware, can someone point me in a good direction? | 20:52 |
| crimsun | you don't need to create an ~/.asoundrc. If you do, it's a bug. | 20:53 |
| adenosine534 | apt-get remove ngircd then apt-get install oftc-hybrid, but ngircd will not remove | 20:53 |
| sobersabre | Anderson: is it a supported hardware or not ? | 20:53 |
| MTecknology | I threw these two lines in /etc/pam.d/common-password ... i thought required meant they can't change their password w/o meeting the criteria, when i try to change a password it warns me if something isn't meat - but still lets it change to that... password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6 difok=3 password required pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5 -- any ideas what I screwed up on? | 20:53 |
| ikonia | bendm: do you not get a grub menu at boot ? | 20:53 |
| ikonia | bendm: or does it boot straight into windows | 20:53 |
| crimsun | dmix and dsnoop are supported in alsa-lib by default for all drivers that don't have native multiopen. | 20:53 |
| bendm | ikonia: thank you, no I do not. boots straight to windows | 20:53 |
| ActySofts | sobersabre: with professional software, the user expects it to work if it's said to, without messing with anything | 20:53 |
| ikonia | bendm: do you have multiple harddisks (I suspect yes) | 20:53 |
| crimsun | ("for drivers" -> "for all drivers touching hardware") | 20:54 |
| bendm | ikonia: multiple partitions. | 20:54 |
| ifireball | ompaul: /msg? what I want to discuss may be OT | 20:54 |
| ikonia | bendm: not multiple disks ? | 20:54 |
| Anderson | sobersabre, I don't think so, sorta exotic | 20:54 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: this is the ... overhead you should be ready to pay with open software: to mess with configuration a bit. | 20:54 |
| ikonia | bendm: in that case it sounds like grub has not actually installed onto the boot sector of the disk. | 20:54 |
| Anderson | sobersabre, so to speak, it's a Toughbook Touchscreen | 20:54 |
| bendm | ikonia: no, just C:\ and D:\ installed by OEM, and then manually had to partition out of D:\ for Ubuntu install | 20:54 |
| sobersabre | Anderson: isn't it identified now ? | 20:54 |
| ikonia | bendm: ok, so you can either manually install grub from the livecd, or you can re-install and keep a closer eye on what's going on | 20:55 |
| crimsun | sobersabre: on the contrary, our approach is that it's a wishlist bug (at least). | 20:55 |
| ikonia | bendm: as for some reason it appears grub has not installed | 20:55 |
| Anderson | sobersabre, it is displaying alright, but not touching right, and neither is my touchpad for that matter | 20:55 |
| ompaul | ifireball, pm me | 20:55 |
| bendm | ikonia: good advice | 20:55 |
| sobersabre | Anderson: you need to read the real driver's documentation and see how you callibrate it properly. | 20:56 |
| ikonia | bendm: as you appear new, i suggest a re-install and jus keep an eye on the options you select and what happens during the install | 20:56 |
| bendm | ikonia: i was trying a dual boot machine because i was afraid I'd mess up the install and be left with a broken machine, rather than an ubuntu machine. | 20:56 |
| Anderson | sobersabre, which driver? | 20:56 |
| sobersabre | Anderson: maybe there's some auto-callibration software. | 20:56 |
| tekteen | can someone help me with pulseaudio. I followed the directions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio. I pastebined the problem at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50162/. | 20:56 |
| sobersabre | the touchscreen should be pointing device. | 20:56 |
| bendm | ikonia: is the dual-boot going to make this harder? | 20:56 |
| ikonia | bendm: most of the time install issues are fixable, don't be scared. | 20:56 |
| ikonia | bendm: no, not at all. | 20:56 |
| ActySofts | sobersabre: then shouldn't I get a notice that I need to in order to enable X? since this is a pretty major feature and very useless | 20:56 |
| ActySofts | *useful | 20:56 |
| Anderson | sobersabre, /me is a linux nub | 20:56 |
| bendm | ikonia: during install I couldn't use the "guided" options, had to do everything manually. | 20:57 |
| ikonia | bendm: thats fine also | 20:57 |
| bendm | ikonia: some docs recommended a boot flag on the linux partition | 20:57 |
| bendm | ikonia: but when I did that nothing would boot at all. (I used Gpartition.) | 20:57 |
| ikonia | bendm: I wouldn't worry about that. | 20:57 |
| ActySofts | I can't get Banshee to play anything (mostly OGG Vorbis) and I don't see why it wouldn't. Any ideas? (sound works, and Amarok plays fine, so I bet it's a problem with Banshee itself) | 20:57 |
| ikonia | bendm: just concern yourself with the install and making sure grub is going to install | 20:57 |
| bendm | ikonia: Thanks. So start the GUI install over again from the Live CD? | 20:58 |
| Odd-rationale | ActySofts: You can't get banshee to play ogg? | 20:58 |
| ikonia | bendm: sounds a good call | 20:58 |
| ActySofts | no | 20:58 |
| sobersabre | ActySofts: I think it's a matter of your sound card. | 20:58 |
| Anderson | how do I identify which driver is running what device? | 20:58 |
| bendm | ikonia: any advice on how to make sure GRUB installs this time? | 20:58 |
| ikonia | bendm: just pay attention to the text on screen. | 20:59 |
| bendm | ikonia: thanks very much and happy new year. | 20:59 |
| ikonia | bendm: there will be an option that says "do no install grub" make sure that is NOT ticked | 20:59 |
| sobersabre | Anderson: you can follow xorg.log and see what's loaded. | 20:59 |
| === dreamcoder is now known as HyDrO | ||
| SirChasm | Any alternatives to KNetworkManager? Is NetworkManager better? | 20:59 |
| Anderson | check, i'll do that now... | 20:59 |
| nuGz | does cedega play games faster then wine does? | 20:59 |
| Anderson | where is xorg.log | 20:59 |
| ActySofts | sobersabre: I guess it's the matter that ALSA was started with a bad point and that the 3.8 ver of OSS could have instead just be developed, forgetting the fact that 4Front Tech made OSS proprietary | 21:00 |
| sobersabre | Anderson: have you tried to google on the toughbook ? | 21:00 |
| Anderson | locate turned up no results | 21:00 |
| Anderson | Yeah... everyone has same problems. | 21:00 |
| sobersabre | Anderson: /var/log/xorg.0.log | 21:00 |
| ActySofts | nuGz: yes, since Cedega has a better implementation of DirectX, but you must pay for it | 21:00 |
| bitmonk | hi folks, i'm running 7.10 in parallels on osx, just installed parallels tools for linux, and 'startx' as my user works, but gdm dies over and over. any ideas? | 21:00 |
| Anderson | I don't even know who the manufacture of the screen is, I called toughbook once and they said they have used two vendors, but they don' | 21:00 |

| alzamabar_ | Is a bash script something that ends with .sh? | 21:08 |
| ActySofts | yes | 21:08 |
| bruenig | alzamabar_, file extensions don't mean anything | 21:08 |
| bruenig | as a convention .sh is not really bash per se, it is sh | 21:08 |

| === ChristopherDente is now known as dennda | ||

| Soskel | when ubuntu loads from a disk, it has the same design a windows 95 computer would have | 21:18 |
| soldats | Anderson, its used to mape the mouse keys for the functions it needs, it can also be for emulating a 3 button mouse with a 2 button mouse | 21:18 |
| soldats | map** | 21:18 |
| ActySofts | Soskel: what do you mean? ubuntu is barely similar to windows | 21:18 |
| alzamabar_ | korrika, do I need to create a symbolic link first? | 21:19 |
| Anderson | soldats, thanks, do you have any idea why my touchpad doesn't work correctly. It moves the mouse to any random point on the screen and doubletaps | 21:19 |
| Soskel | ActySofts: when you load up ubuntu from a disk, it loads the kernel from a windows that looks exactly like a window in windows 95 | 21:19 |
| korrika | update-rc creates the links for you | 21:19 |
| jordan | wols : again, same error | 21:20 |
| ActySofts | Soskel: ok, so? every distro I've seen does that | 21:20 |

| alzamabar_ | How does update-rc know that the file under /etc/init.d/ is actually linked to the one under the /bin folder? | 21:20 |
| soldats | Anderson, sorry but i would have no clue since i dont have a laptop, try asking the question to everyone or check the forums | 21:20 |
| bottiger | How does it come that fusermount isn't executable by default but I had to chmod it in order to use it? | 21:20 |
| soldats | sorry i cant help more | 21:20 |
| ActySofts | Soskel: I didn't make the linux kernel, so don't ask me, not I'm a developer of any distro | 21:21 |
| nickrud | bottiger, if you add yourself to the fuse group, then you won't need to chmod it | 21:21 |
| ActySofts | I can't get Banshee to play anything (mostly OGG Vorbis) and I don't see why it wouldn't. Any ideas? (sound works, and Amarok plays fine, so I bet it's a problem with Banshee itself) I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy. | 21:21 |
| korrika | update-rc creates links of the script in the proper levels of init.d | 21:21 |
| bottiger | nickrud: I am in the fuse group :/ or - I just added myself. do you need to relogin before it takes effect? | 21:21 |

| nicholas | Could someone please help me to install FreePascal? | 21:22 |
| Jowi | Anderson, typically the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" is used to make the scrollwheel function as expected. | 21:22 |
| korrika | the script will call the program wherever it is | 21:22 |
| nickrud | bottiger, yes, anytime you add a user to a group, the user has to log out completely for it to take effect | 21:22 |
| crimsun | ActySofts: one sec. I'm busy across several IRC channels currently. | 21:22 |
| ActySofts | ok | 21:22 |

| jordan | wols : 'telnet localhost 6566' obviously does not work either, saned is not running? | 21:23 |
| ScreaminIke | i truly cannot comprehend how to get ubuntu to display gdm logins on both vt7 AND vt8 | 21:23 |
| ScreaminIke | any ideas? | 21:23 |
| liquidengineer | It's got a hostname defined in the Network Setting app | 21:23 |
| nicholas | I said sudo apt-get install fp-units-rtl. It said it was already the newest version. But the compiler depends on it and won't install because that dependency wasn't satisfied, Help? | 21:23 |
| liquidengineer | shouldn't I be able to ping that hostname? | 21:23 |
| nickrud | bottiger, -rwsr-xr-- | 21:23 |
| Jowi | Anderson, does it behave like that in any OS or just in Ubuntu? | 21:23 |
| liquidengineer | right now I get a host not found error | 21:23 |
| bottiger | nickrud: thanks a lot | 21:23 |
| liquidengineer | we're on the same local network | 21:23 |
| Anderson | Jowi, haven't tried any other linux distros, but it works fine when it had windows | 21:24 |
| Flannel | nickrud: You're trying to install fp-compiler, right? | 21:24 |
| nicholas | Yes. | 21:24 |
| nickrud | Flannel, me, install a compiler. LOL | 21:24 |
| alladnsane | Hi everyone...could anyone help me get a lexmark z1300 printer to work in gutsy???? | 21:24 |
| bitmonk | ScreaminIke: have you tried anything yet? if so, what? | 21:25 |
| jordan | wols : I got it! | 21:25 |
| * bitmonk installing etoile and compiz | 21:25 | |
| nicholas | I want to install Lazarus after that. | 21:25 |
| nicholas | Could you please help me to get freepascal set up? | 21:25 |
| freebird | hi folks | 21:25 |
| liquidengineer | I can, however, use the machine's IP address to connect | 21:25 |
| liquidengineer | Am I doing something wrong? | 21:25 |
| Jowi | Anderson, have you tested gsynaptics? | 21:25 |
| Jowi | !info gsynaptics | 21:26 |
| ubotu | gsynaptics: configuration tool for Synaptics touchpad driver of X server. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.12-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 28 kB, installed size 320 kB (Only available for alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 m68k mips mipsel powerpc sparc) | 21:26 |
| bitmonk | so, any ideas why after installing parallels tools for linux into 7.10, gdm fails repeatedly to start, while 'startx' as a normal user works fine? | 21:26 |
| Flannel | nicholas: apt-cache policy fp-compiler fp-units-rtl | 21:26 |
| Flannel | nicholas: what versions do you see available? | 21:26 |
| Anderson | Jowi, just install and run? | 21:26 |
| Flannel | nicholas: if you want, you can just pastebin that | 21:26 |
| Avt | ok in gutsy gnome how I check an md5 | 21:26 |
| nickrud | liquidengineer, you need some kind of domain name resolution, the names are not automatically broadcast to the other machines | 21:26 |
| Esine | Hey. Which version of X.Org does Ubuntu 7.10 ship with? | 21:26 |
| Jowi | Anderson, I guess so. you can configure the touchpad from there. read in a forum where it solved the issue. might be worth a shot. | 21:26 |
| ScreaminIke | bitmonk: i tried reconfigging my gdm.conf | 21:27 |

| c0nka | ?¿ | 21:28 |
| bitmonk | ScreaminIke: you should be able to sudo to another user and run an x app, eh? | 21:28 |
| nickrud | liquidengineer, I don't know how to do it with windows; on a standard linux box you can do something like 192.168.1.104 machinename in /etc/hosts , then the machine with the hosts file would know the name corresponding to that ip address | 21:28 |
| Flannel | nicholas: Will you please paste that to pastebin? I'm having trouble reading it interlaced with text | 21:28 |
| ikonia | c0nka: define does not work | 21:29 |
| ScreaminIke | not an xapp. this is a daemon | 21:29 |

| nicholas | I don't know how. | 21:29 |

| alladnsane | yes lordmetroid | 21:29 |
| bitmonk | just think it through for a sec.. | 21:30 |
| ScreaminIke | ok. so... what do you suggest? i'm really open. i just want to get this up and running. | 21:30 |
| nickrud | liquidengineer, no, it doesn't work that way. | 21:30 |
| steven_ | is linux able to play games? | 21:30 |
| bitmonk | if you're going to log in as another user, in another gdm, to run an app as another user, why not just open a terminal, sudo or su to that user, and run the daemon? | 21:30 |
| ScreaminIke | oh. no. i know how hacky it is. | 21:30 |
| c0nka | ikonia: i installed ubuntu with the text installer and it did fine everytime i come to boot ubuntu it goes to a black screen ??? | 21:30 |
| Flannel | nicholas: But, thats fine. I've got it. Where did you get your fp-units-rtl from? | 21:30 |
| lordmetroid | Cool, I was worried that I was invisible as I wasn't able to use private messaging on any other channel than #ubuntu using irc.ubuntu.net | 21:30 |

| Jowi | Anderson, "universe" is a way to get more software with the package manager. open up the package manager and you should be able to set "repositories" there. wait, there's a link... | 21:30 |
| bitmonk | it's not even so much hacky, as it's like walking all the way around the block to avoid stepping on cracks in the sidewalk, when something is three feet away. ;) | 21:30 |
| Jowi | !repos | Anderson | 21:30 |
| ubotu | Anderson: 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 | 21:30 |
| ScreaminIke | i was going to include the daemon as part of each of their logins, and set each vt to autologin each user | 21:30 |

| nicholas | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50175/plain/ | 21:30 |
| sirAndrew | Happy new year everyone in case i won`t catch you to tell you! | 21:31 |
| Flannel | lordmetroid: on freenode, only registered users can query | 21:31 |
| bitmonk | oh, man | 21:31 |
| liquidengineer | nickrud: I'm a little confused now. Then what's the point of giving the ubuntu box a hostname at all? | 21:31 |
| bitmonk | ;d | 21:31 |
| hacim | i'm having trouble with amarok. When I try to add a mp3 it says "No MP3 Support" and can't play mp3s. I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, but that didn't help :( | 21:31 |
| ikonia | c0nka: just a black screen, thats it, no error/warning/message | 21:31 |
| lordmetroid | ahh | 21:31 |
| c0nka | ikonia: no | 21:31 |
| bitmonk | set your default user to sudo with no password, and just hve a script that 'sudo -u foo daemon' | 21:31 |
| Jowi | Anderson, direct link here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 21:31 |
| nevon | is there anyone that can tell me how to start a terminal in fullscreen mode on the last virtual desktop automatically when ubuntu starts? | 21:31 |
| Flannel | nicholas: Where did you get your fp-units-rtl pcakage? | 21:31 |
| ScreaminIke | ... that will work? | 21:31 |
| nickrud | liquidengineer, unix (and therefore linux) is network oriented, the name is used internally a lot | 21:31 |
| bitmonk | or learn about daemontools. ;) | 21:31 |
| nicholas | I downloaded it. | 21:31 |
| bitmonk | ScreaminIke: yeah it oughta. | 21:31 |
| ikonia | c0nka: can you boot into safe graphics mode from the livecd | 21:31 |
| nicholas | From Ubuntu I think. | 21:31 |
| bitmonk | for this problem i would use daemontools, http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html | 21:32 |
| Flannel | bitmonk: No, that's a horrible idea. Please dont ever recommend that. | 21:32 |
| === lordmetroid is now known as LordMetroid | ||
| c0nka | i hant gt a livecd doesnt work ive gt the text installer | 21:32 |
| bitmonk | Flannel: it's better than auto logging in two users. | 21:32 |
| Flannel | bitmonk: the sudo thing, not the daemon tools, that is. | 21:32 |
| alladnsane | Can anyone help set up a lexmark printer in Ubuntu Gutsy????? | 21:32 |
| ScreaminIke | so... the command ought to look like this : sudo -u jean mutella -d | 21:32 |
| === Matthias_Urlichs is now known as smurf | ||
| ScreaminIke | ? | 21:32 |
| bitmonk | sure, well, it's poor security practice.. | 21:32 |
| nevon | i know how to start it automattically but the fullscreen and virtual desktop thing is harder | 21:32 |
| |Dreams| | does anyone know of a ssl capable usenet client for linux please | 21:33 |
| bitmonk | here's a safer way. set up key authentication to ssh to localhost as another user, then you don't need root to become them. | 21:33 |
| ScreaminIke | ... i'm behind a hardware firewall... it's a box at home... | 21:33 |
| nickrud | liquidengineer, for example, google.com doesn't broadcast it's name, somewhere out on the network there's a file that does exactly what /etc/hosts does. Your computer asks for the ip address of a dns server, then connects to the number it gets back | 21:33 |
| ScreaminIke | ... i want this all to happen ON BOOT. | 21:33 |
| c0nka | i hant gt a livecd doesnt work ive gt the text installer | 21:33 |
| bitmonk | yesh but it's a bad habit to make. | 21:33 |
| c0nka | ikonia: | 21:33 |
| Flannel | nicholas: no, you didn't. If you look at that paste, the last few lines, theres 2.2.0-1 and 2.0.4-5, the 2.0.4-5 is in the repository (it tells you its URL) and the 2.2.0-1 isn't from a repository, which means you mustve downloaded a deb package and installed it. | 21:33 |
| EtteSB | im looking for a client for a program, i have a choice of gtk or gtk2, which one should i use? | 21:33 |
| Anderson | Jowi, got it installed, I didn't realize I had universe commented in xorg.conf | 21:34 |
| ScreaminIke | so... if i set my root to have *gasp* no password ... *cringe* ... then initing scripts with the sudo command as root will not prompt me for a pass, and allow everything to fly? | 21:34 |
| dimitris | I am considering buying the eee PC from Asus. It has a 4GB hard disk. Can anyone tell me how much disk space a default installation of Ubuntu takes? | 21:34 |
| nicholas | Yes. | 21:34 |
| astro76 | EtteSB, gtk2 | 21:34 |
| Jowi | EtteSB, gtk2 | 21:34 |
| Anderson | jowi, correct sources.list | 21:34 |
| crimsun | ActySofts: ok, does `gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///usr/share/sounds/startup.wav` work? | 21:34 |
| nickrud | EtteSB, gtk2 , much prettier and still supported | 21:34 |
| bitmonk | ScreaminIke: any command can run on boot. all you have to do is make it not require user input, e.g. asking for password. sudo is a bad idea because anyone who walks up to your computer can have root, and again, bad habit, but you can set up ssh key authentication for a user with no access except to this daemon, then 'ssh someuser2@localhost daemon' | 21:34 |
| Anderson | sorry I was just working somnething else | 21:34 |
| nicholas | I downloaded it as a debian package. | 21:34 |
| EtteSB | thanks peeps | 21:34 |
| bitmonk | again, i recommend daemontools for this. i can probably walk you through creating a simple service for what you want. | 21:34 |
| ActySofts | crimsun: yes | 21:34 |
| ScreaminIke | ... i'm still completely lost, methinks... | 21:34 |
| bitmonk | daemontools installs in about three commands, it's highly secure and stable, and it's designed explicitly for what you want. | 21:34 |
| bitmonk | also, you'll be learning something useful. | 21:35 |
| c0nka | anyone | 21:35 |
| Flannel | nicholas: Right. That's your problem. You'll want to remove that, and then install fp-compile, and it'll grab fp-units-rtl from the repos and everyone will be happy | 21:35 |
| hacim | why can't I play mp3s in amarok?! | 21:35 |
| Jowi | Anderson, no probs. hope gsynaptics help you. only real suggestion I can make since my laptop died. | 21:35 |
| ScreaminIke | really? omg. sudo apt-get.... ;) | 21:35 |
| bitmonk | if you think that running two GDM on two vt is easier than setting up an ssh key or daemontools, talk to me in a week. ;) | 21:35 |
| nickrud | ScreaminIke, no, sudo will ask for your user password | 21:35 |
| Anderson | Jowi, got one step closer... | 21:35 |
| nickrud | ScreaminIke, and only people who are in the admin group will be allowed to use sudo | 21:35 |
| nicholas | Oh. | 21:35 |
| Ryan52 | whats the command for the network config tool? | 21:35 |
| ServerSide | bbl | 21:35 |
| Anderson | Jowi, Just got an error from the app. Something about SHMConfig in xorg.conf needing to be true. | 21:35 |
| jay3dlinux | i have some problem with brasero "medium not writable" and after that cannot eject the CD | 21:35 |
| Anderson | Jowi, Is that a simple Option "SHMConfig" under the touchpad section?> | 21:36 |
| T1m0thy | Okay, sometimes X randomly restarts and Firefox freezes sometimes, but not as much with 3.0b2. I was told that maybe my hard drive is going bad. I've ran a fsck and memtest86+ and both turned out fine.. What else could this be? | 21:36 |
| astro76 | Anderson, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig | 21:36 |
| nicholas | Oh, thank you Flannel. | 21:36 |
| nicholas | :) | 21:36 |
| ScreaminIke | :) | 21:36 |
| bitmonk | there may also be something in the apt repo, ScreaminIke, which, when run as root, will switch users before executing a daemon. | 21:36 |
| nicholas | It is uninstalling it. | 21:36 |
| bitmonk | and that would be easy to put in, say, rc.local | 21:36 |
| ScreaminIke | yea. i'm totally installing daemon tools right now... | 21:36 |
| bitmonk | maybe 'daemonize' or something.. i have some funny memory cells there | 21:36 |
| bitmonk | right on | 21:36 |
| dgjones | dimitris, have you looked at http://eeepc.tumblr.com/post/21408625 or http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:home that may help you | 21:37 |
| czajkowski | ompaul: you about? | 21:37 |
| nuGz | when i try to install the grapevine package why does it come up with an error and say one software package allowed at a time but theres nothing else up? help please | 21:37 |
| Jowi | Anderson, simply add this before the EndSection of the touchpad entry in xorg.conf: Option “SHMConfig” “on” | 21:37 |
| hacim | is it impossible to play MP3s on AMD64? | 21:37 |
| bitmonk | well even if the 'service' concept from daemontools completely escapes you, you can probably steal 'setuidgid' from it for a hacky rc.local script | 21:37 |
| Cohuntas | hey can somebody help me change back my resolution to 1680x1050? | 21:37 |
| bitmonk | hacim: certainly not. what leads you to ask such a question? | 21:37 |
| nicholas | It is installing fp-units-rtl plus fp-compiler now. | 21:37 |
| nuGz | when i try to install the grapevine package why does it come up with an error and say one software package allowed at a time but theres nothing else up? help please | 21:37 |

| bitmonk | now, if your question ends with 'in the current ubuntu', maybe the question is no, but amd64 is certainly capable of playing mp3s ;) | 21:38 |

| foo25 | Hey, I'm suddenly having trouble with my wireless network, it no longer connects automatically, takes over a minute to fully connect, randomly cuts out, and constantly displays a 38% signal strength no matter where I move to. Could this be due to the opensource firmware? | 21:39 |

| hacim | bitmonk: yeah, it says mp3 support is not installed, do I want to install it? I say yes, and it says I have to restart amarok, I restart amarok and then repeat from the beginning | 21:40 |
| Flannel | hacim: have you installed libxine1-ffmpeg? | 21:40 |
| Rian-Davide | elder check out the wine website or cedega | 21:40 |

| nickrud | hacim, install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 | 21:40 |
| bitmonk | hacim: maybe it wants to install this addon itself, but on ubuntu you really should be using apt or synaptic or something.. | 21:40 |
| bluefoxx | bitmonk: i could | 21:40 |
| * bitmonk points to all the people listing package names | 21:40 | |
| nickrud | Flannel, amarok uses xine backend in gutsy? didn't know that | 21:41 |
| hacim | bitmonk: i do not have libxine1-ffmpeg installed, I'll install that and gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3, thanks | 21:41 |

| nickrud | Flannel, and we know the wiki is always right :) | 21:42 |
| bitmonk | XinFei: try starting with 'ps aux | grep -i firefox' | 21:42 |
| candide_ | comment changer d'adresse IP svp?? | 21:42 |
| crimsun | ActySofts: (although for the life of me, it shouldn't if GSt handles it fine as you attest0 | 21:42 |
| Rian-Davide | anyone know how to install restricted drivers offline without the repos? | 21:42 |
| bitmonk | there may not even be a process, maybe there is just a lock file | 21:42 |
| bluefoxx | should i be worried if the pertitioner hangs at 50 %? | 21:42 |
| hacim | bitmonk: dialup is very painful | 21:42 |
| Kristian9K | thanks, bitmonk - but nothing seems to happen there, although 80 users are ol... should all conversation there be within the set topic? | 21:42 |
| bitmonk | hacim: yeah, i remember. ;) | 21:42 |
| XinFei | then what Bitmonk.. i typed it in terminal | 21:42 |
| * bitmonk shares his DSL line with enough people that sometimes it is like dialup | 21:42 | |
| Anderson | Jowi, before I get into that, how do I tell who my touchpad vendor is? | 21:42 |
| XinFei | and something came up | 21:42 |
| ActySofts | crimsun: like this? gst-launch-0.10 GST_DEBUG=3 playbin uri=file:///home/mircea/a.ogg | 21:42 |
| bitmonk | think i am getting 22k right now | 21:42 |
| bitmonk | i guess that's more like ISDN | 21:42 |
| Cohuntas | anybody help with nvidia drivers? | 21:43 |
| crimsun | ActySofts: place the debug bit before the command | 21:43 |
| ActySofts | ok | 21:43 |
| bitmonk | XinFei: what came up? pastebin it pls and give me the resultant url. | 21:43 |
| XinFei | ok | 21:43 |
| XinFei | wait i cant | 21:43 |
| XinFei | >_> i cant get online! | 21:43 |
| XinFei | lolz | 21:43 |
| Rian-Davide | Cohuntas what's your problem with nvidia drivers? | 21:43 |
| Jowi | Anderson, don't know. have no laptop to check settings on. | 21:43 |
| XinFei | is there just a code to kill all of my firefox | 21:43 |
| XinFei | to where i could restart it? | 21:43 |
| ActySofts | crimsun: holy...the whole window flooded =) | 21:44 |
| graabein | elder, i think world of warcraft works with either wine or cedega | 21:44 |
| Kristian9K | Cohuntas: I've had some succes with the Envy script | 21:44 |
| bitmonk | XinFei: sure, you can try 'killall -9 firefox-bin' or you can get the numbers from the far left column and 'kill -9' them | 21:44 |
| Cohuntas | Rian-Davide: I updated my 7.10 and now my resolution is stuck on 800x600 | 21:44 |
| bitmonk | those are pids, or process ids. every program has one and you can send them friendly or harsh signals. | 21:44 |
| ActySofts | crimsun: and part of the output is cut off | 21:44 |
| Jowi | Anderson, most touchpads I've encountered though has been synaptics | 21:44 |
| cheako | ne1 running gnutella, I need to get bootstrapped(A small list of peers to connect to). | 21:44 |
| Rian-Davide | ah I see | 21:44 |
| bitmonk | i'd try a kill without the -9 first, but if you really want to be aggressive throw the -9 there. | 21:44 |
| XinFei | thx bitmonk | 21:44 |
| XinFei | it is running | 21:45 |
| Rian-Davide | well as long as you have an internet connection try envy it will auto install the proper drivers for you | 21:45 |
| bitmonk | again, it can be a bad habit to just throw -9 for everything, you'll start doing things on server or machines you share with people that will get you clobbered, but it's a good tool to have around, and on a desktop, you'll hurt only yourself. ;) | 21:45 |
| wols | !envy | 21:45 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 21:45 |
| bluefoxx | im trying to install gutsy next to my main OS, fiesty and the installer's partitioneer has been hanging at 50%for the past hour, should i worrie and shut down or let it run? | 21:45 |
| Jowi | Anderson, synaptics are in Asus, Dell, HP, IBM, PB and a whole lot more. | 21:45 |

| foo25 | Hey, I'm suddenly having trouble with my wireless network, it no longer connects automatically, takes over a minute to fully connect, randomly cuts out, and constantly displays a 38% signal strength no matter where I move to. Could this be due to the opensource firmware? | 21:46 |
| wols | Cohuntas: those nvidia.com drivers are not needed either, especially not if it worked before | 21:46 |
| Rian-Davide | the restricted drivers manager seems to have alot of problems | 21:46 |
| Cohuntas | wols: what's wrong with envy | 21:46 |
| * bitmonk still wondering what a default-y xorg.conf looks like, or if it has any crucial config that could make my gdm happy again. | 21:46 | |
| wols | foo25: what network chip | 21:46 |
| wols | Cohuntas: it breaks your ubuntu and is not supported here. nuff said | 21:46 |
| dimitris | dgjones: thanks | 21:46 |
| bluefoxx | if i lose data during my install is there a way to recover it? | 21:46 |
| Cohuntas | wols: ic | 21:47 |
| foo25 | wols: It's a Broadcom 4318, using bcm43xx-fwcutter | 21:47 |
| wols | Rian-Davide: then file a bugreport. envy is not welcome here. neither is envy support | 21:47 |

| Lapinux | anyone know how i might get the top border back on xchat, the one that allows you to minimize, it seems to have vanished.... | 21:47 |

| Jowi | Anderson, good question. you better look up the specs for your laptop. might be evtouch driver you need. generic google search for the toughbook I see both in use. | 21:47 |
| wols | nicholas: did you install freepascal, if so how? | 21:48 |
| foo25 | wols: It was downloaded here - http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o | 21:48 |
| Rian-Davide | there's already plenty of bug reports for the restricted drivers manager not to mention full scale reviews on various websites, well known websites all pointing to using envy when the rest driver manager fails | 21:48 |
| graabein | how do i know if i have samba installed on xubuntu? i want to connect to a printer hooked up to a windows xp machine in my network | 21:48 |
| nicholas | Yes, I did, with apt-get | 21:48 |
| wols | Rian-Davide: you are on your own if you do. good luck | 21:48 |
| foo25 | wols: I assumed the firmware was opensource, I previously used ndiswrapper | 21:48 |
| Jowi | Anderson, the W2 seems to use synaptics though | 21:48 |
| wols | foo25: firmware is not a driver. different things | 21:48 |
| Rian-Davide | Im not even doing it, and everyone is on their own anyway lol | 21:48 |
| Anderson | Jowi, Yea, and Panasonic doesn't keep good track of that. I thought there was a command to look through hardware, lspci and lshw turned up nothing useful | 21:49 |

| ActySofts | something like <command> file ? | 21:50 |
| wols | foo25: if they worked well before, then it's unlikely. the question is: what changed? | 21:50 |
| Rian-Davide | I would need a deb package to install it offline | 21:50 |
| ActySofts | I mean <command> > file | 21:50 |
| Rian-Davide | actually I did try one and nothing happened | 21:50 |

| Anderson | Jowi, I never got to that point because my Xorg isn't even configured for Synaptics. Which is why I am trying to find out when vendor I am using. | 21:57 |
| unravel | ActySofts: he wants ash, not bash | 21:57 |
| sir_diplomatico | Is there possibly a way to switch the order of items so that the hardware volume control changes "Speaker" volume rather than "Microphone"? | 21:57 |
| isaacj87 | wols: ah okay. | 21:57 |

| sourcemaker | NET||abuse: konqueror ;-) or the ftp command :-) | 21:58 |
| Jowi | Anderson, just try the synaptics driver to see. you can always revert changes if needed (backup xorg.conf before making changes) | 21:58 |
| Svish | Im trying to burn the ubuntu image with InfraRecorder in Windows. What write method should I use? Session-At-Once? | 21:58 |

| Rian-Davide | is ndiswrapper easier to install then switching the firmware of my wireless card? Im dual booting ubuntu with windows, will it mess up the functionality of my wireless card for windows if I change the firmware? | 21:58 |

| billy_ | whats the quickest way to open a terminal? | 21:58 |
| NET||abuse | sourcemaker, hmm, konquerer interesting idea.. nautilus either? | 21:58 |
| isaacj87 | so essentially, I'm using the "cat" command incorrectly? If my only purpose is the view the file within terminal? | 21:59 |

| wols | Rian-Davide: you cannot "switch firmware" and ndiswrapper will not work without firmware either | 21:59 |
| sourcemaker | NET||abuse: nautilus... I do not know... try it | 21:59 |
| Rian-Davide | ah I see | 21:59 |

| TheEagle | it does exist in bin - i typed "which ash" | 22:01 |
| bitmonk | TheEagle: the command wols gave you searches your installed packages for ash binaries (by looking for a bin/ dir in the path, methinks) | 22:01 |
| Ethaniel | Actually I know it's correctly connected | 22:01 |
| catty0320 | can someone tell me why my hp pavillions audio doesent work | 22:01 |

| Rian-Davide | is there a way to un-install an older version of fwcutter? | 22:01 |

| sir_diplomatico | or trying to mount it | 22:01 |
| NET||abuse | sourcemaker, gftp, fillzilla, nautilus, konqueror,, decent list of tools, any others? | 22:01 |
| Ethaniel | Well | 22:02 |
| Flannel | Rian-Davide: how did you install it? | 22:02 |
| Rian-Davide | deb package | 22:02 |
| Ethaniel | I run my Live CD, and when I try to find my HD I can't find it | 22:02 |
| Flannel | Rian-Davide: then yeah, just remove the deb package | 22:02 |
| thysteo | ls | 22:02 |

| Cohuntas | why would it say permission denied when I try to enter "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"? | 22:02 |
| sourcemaker | NET||abuse: I always use the ftp command or konqueror... I have not tested all the others tools | 22:02 |
| TheEagle | oh hehe, i thought /etc/shells was a directory and u wanted me to add a link or summat | 22:02 |
| Flannel | Rian-Davide: Open your favorite package manager (syanptic, adept, etc) and remove the package | 22:02 |
| Rian-Davide | ah ok cool will do | 22:02 |
| sourcemaker | Cohuntas : you must be root | 22:02 |
| TheEagle | the lack of file types confuses me | 22:02 |
| carrja | have a happy and safe new years eve everyone | 22:03 |
| thysteo | I have a litlle problem when I want to install Gecode/R on my Ubuntu machine. How can I solve this ? | 22:03 |
| freebird | cheers | 22:03 |
| Cohuntas | how do you go to root? | 22:03 |
| Anderson | Jowi, how do I restart xorg? | 22:03 |
| TheEagle | Cohuntas: or run comand with sudo in front if it | 22:03 |
| sourcemaker | Cohuntas: sudo su | 22:03 |
| TheEagle | Cohuntas: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:03 |
| Rian-Davide | opensource has forced me to drink and drive | 22:03 |
| usrl | I installed Kubuntu last night, using Dolphin I try to change the view properties to "Details", and set it for all folders, but as soon as I click OK it goes back to it's default settings. | 22:03 |
| freebird | Cohuntas: do 'sudo vi somefile' | 22:03 |
| Rian-Davide | hopefully Ill have a safe ride home tonight | 22:03 |
| Tyczek | !ghost | 22:04 |
| ubotu | On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password> | 22:04 |
| Jowi | Anderson, ctrl-alt-backspace. or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart". | 22:04 |
| sir_diplomatico | Ethaniel: try checking to see if it's detecting your drive w/ the partition manager under system/admin-prefs | 22:04 |
| bluefoxx | well, im installing gutsy, hopefully i dont have a crash or anything... | 22:05 |
| tbarturbo | does anybody want a new laptop as i hate vista and wifi dont work?! | 22:05 |
| sir_diplomatico | Ethaniel: if you see the drive and partitions, find the appropriate partition you want to mount, and try manually mounting it in the console | 22:05 |
| Rian-Davide | sure | 22:05 |
| Rian-Davide | I'll take it | 22:05 |
| sir_diplomatico | tbaturbo: yes | 22:05 |
| linuxbomb | tbarturbo, ok | 22:05 |
| sir_diplomatico | lol | 22:05 |

| Flannel | tbarturbo: Can you get it to work with 32bit Gutsy? | 22:06 |
| TheEagle | do i have to restart to make the new login shell become operational? | 22:06 |
| linuxbomb | tbarturbo, try gentoo | 22:06 |
| tbarturbo | Flannel: no but your welcome to help me through the terminal commands to try it ;) | 22:06 |
| tbarturbo | Flannel: it didnt work with 64bit thats for sure | 22:07 |
| Flannel | tbarturbo: Eh? Well, I meant reinstall with i386 and try ndiswrapper again. Also, try taking your battery all the way out (while unplugged), some cards won't work with *nix without a complete power cycle after being used on windows | 22:08 |
| tbarturbo | sorry flannel missread you ... 32bit gutsys installed wifi dont work lol | 22:08 |
| tbarturbo | havent tried ndiswrapper again i dont know how:( | 22:08 |
| Flannel | tbarturbo: 32bit is much more likely to work than 64, I'd stick with 32 while trying. | 22:08 |
| brian2177 | can anyone help me set up wifi on my macbook under 7.10 | 22:08 |
| Flannel | tbarturbo: What sort of card is this? | 22:08 |

| Cohuntas | how do you save xorg in nano? | 22:09 |
| tbarturbo | atheros even | 22:09 |
| ompaul | Cohuntas, ctrl x and see what happens it is on the bottom of your screen | 22:09 |
| Flannel | tbarturbo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NdiswrapperOnAMD64 Thats ndiswrapper on 64 bit. Atheros... | 22:10 |
| * bitmonk remembers using nano ;d | 22:10 | |
| tbarturbo | Flannel: im on 32 bit again at the mo.... 64bit software was useless | 22:10 |
| |DuReX| | how can i stop udev to make /dev/sda1 ? | 22:10 |
| |DuReX| | sda1 is part of a dmraid, so should NOT be created | 22:10 |
| dcesiel_ | you guys know how to stream video through a video camera via firewire to a web server so it's a live video feed? | 22:10 |
| Flannel | tbarturbo: Not useless, but much harder with finnicky hardware. What model is your laptop? | 22:11 |
| Lunar_Lamp | I need to load firmware to get my USB tv card working. I have the firmware but am unsure where to put it. /lib/firmware doesn't appear correct (as it is there, but it is not detected). Where should I put it? | 22:11 |
| tbarturbo | Flannel: its an acer aspire 5520 | 22:11 |
| xiodioxider | Lunar_Lamp , put it in the ass | 22:11 |
| liquidengineer | Hello | 22:11 |
| nuke-serge | hi all :) | 22:11 |
| nuke-serge | need some help with emacs configuration | 22:12 |
| Lunar_Lamp | xiodioxider, it's more helpful to just say nothing than to give stupid answers like that. | 22:12 |
| liquidengineer | I'm trying to get ubuntu to broadcast my hostname, so I added the following line to dhclient.conf: send host-name "host"; | 22:12 |
| Groovestix | hey folks, how can I strip Ubuntu from all the clutter? I just wanna use it as a BOINC machine | 22:12 |
| nuke-serge | how do i choose to stop showing hidden files in emacs | 22:12 |
| T1m0thy | X keeps restarting out of no where and I've tried fsck and memtest86+. Any ideas? | 22:12 |
| liquidengineer | when i tried to source the file, it said it could not find the program send | 22:12 |
| liquidengineer | what am I doing wrong? | 22:12 |
| liquidengineer | do I need to install something? | 22:12 |
| Telarian02 | I changed the resolution of my console and everything works fine except the screen is not centered on my monitor if i change the settings then switch back to graphical screen and I have to recenter it again, if i leave console resolution at default i never have to change the settings on monitor, anyone have some help? | 22:13 |
| TheEagle | woo.... my default shell is now ash! | 22:13 |
| Flannel | tbarturbo: Well, from what I see so far, we'll definately have to use ndiswrapper. | 22:14 |
| arooni_ | my crontab scripts aren't running; i did: crontab -e; then put this line in: 0 * * * * /usr/bin/unison simple -batch .... and i've verified it's not running... i've also verified the command works from any arbitrary directory... should i restart my laptop? ideas (running ubuntu gutsy) | 22:14 |
| ader10 | could someone highlight my name | 22:14 |
| kane77 | what is the easiest way to synchronize projects (files) between desktop/laptop? | 22:14 |
| linuxbomb | Telarian02, I had that problem because the resolution wasn't supported by my monitor but I doubt thats your problem | 22:14 |
| kane77 | ader10, I can... | 22:14 |
| liquidengineer | any ideas would be greatly appriciated | 22:14 |
| tbarturbo | Flannel could we go through it in a pm from my other machine... in your own time... | 22:14 |
| ader10 | thank you | 22:14 |
| Pir8 | does this work for others as well? If you select an mp3 file, and leave your mouse over it, does it play the file until the mouse is over it? | 22:15 |
| Ethaniel | Sir_Displomatico: I already found my HD. it is on hdb, but when I write: fdisk -l /dev/hdb it says "It can't be open" | 22:15 |
| Cohuntas | I tried everything and I still cannot get my resolution working | 22:15 |
| arooni_ | can someone help me get my crontab thing working? | 22:15 |
| Cohuntas | I think me xorg file is screwed | 22:15 |
| linuxbomb | Telarian02, There is also xvidtune , that can center your picture | 22:15 |
| Telarian02 | linuxbomb, thanks | 22:15 |
| jkfldsjkla | unscrew it | 22:15 |
| TheEagle | if only microsoft were so stupid to let people build the source code themselves - hehe | 22:17 |
| bluefoxx | exit | 22:17 |
| * TheEagle apologizes for such a random and off topic point - hehe | 22:17 | |
| tbarturbo | theeagle then ppl like me would have no usable OS out of the box!!! | 22:17 |
| Flannel | tbarturbo: I'm not a wifi guy. However, this page : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper Is very verbose. If you have questions about specifics, ask them here, and I'm sure someone can answer them. | 22:17 |
| tbarturbo | ok thanx FLANNEL | 22:17 |
| ompaul | TheEagle, if they would and the accepted changes back they would be more secure | 22:18 |
| ompaul | imho | 22:18 |
| ompaul | but that would not suit them | 22:18 |
| ompaul | woops offtopic | 22:18 |

| TheEagle | tom1979: do you know the exact make and model of your card? | 22:25 |
| tom1979 | Then i dont have the correct drivers to use ndiswrapper :( | 22:25 |
| Rian-Davide | windows vista is digusting they put it on all new computers even on ones that are far too slow to even begin to run it | 22:25 |

| carrierBag | I compiled and installed my own php by patching the up-to-date source of libapache2-mod-php5 by chanching some configuration attributes in debian/rules, etc... generated the .deb-files and installed them.. all fine and good. But within seconds, the synaptic-updater poped up, telling me there were some updates for .. libapache2-mod-php5.. ha. so I locked this package in synaptic and went away, came back later and guess what.. he did instal | 22:44 |
| carrierBag | l the libapache2-mod-php5 again, probably because it is regarded as security update... but what the... I locked it?! So.. How can I look this modified package whithout unchecking the "auto install security patches" option in synaptic? | 22:44 |

| TwoD_ | pyrotix, iptables is "simply" a list of allowed ports (in and out). It's always used when making connections. You can make life easier and use Firestarter which is a GUI for iptables etc. Firestarter doesn't need to be running except when you make changes, since all it does is modify iptables. | 23:23 |

| hrast | dear friends.. I need help about the trash and NTFS-3g. Files deleted from a NTFS-3g partition do not go to the trash??? | 23:34 |
| klybear | Squintz I used Qparted to reformat the drives to Fat32 before installing | 23:34 |
| TwoD_ | hrast, no, I don't think so. | 23:34 |
| rathel | I'm having a problem adding XP to Grub fdisk -l shows that NTFS partition is on /dev/sda6 I added root (hd0,5) to grub but it still says invalid disk or partition sorry I don't remember. what did I do wrong? | 23:34 |
| Mikeee | with a Intel PRO Wireless 3945, wanting to use WPA2, should I install wpasupplicant or not? | 23:34 |
| klybear | Or you could use the alternate install disc but I suppose you want to use the one you've got :) | 23:35 |
| liquidengineer | th0r: I think ubuntu's problem might be that it's not using 3.0.6 | 23:35 |
| Squintz | klybear: Is that on the ubuntu CD or do I need to download it? | 23:35 |
| th0r | liquidengineer this is proving an interesting exercise...I just tried to ping from the server to the laptop using the hostname and it does work. | 23:35 |
| liquidengineer | I'd seem some posts about this issue | 23:35 |
| liquidengineer | th0r: intereesting | 23:35 |
| TwoD_ | hrast, if you deleted something by mistake, try running an ntfs undeleter (maybe from windows). But be careful not to write anything to the disk, in case what you lost gets overwritten | 23:35 |

| liquidengineer | th0r: the laptop runs suse? | 23:35 |
| klybear | Squintz I don't know if it's on the normal CD but I wanted to have it on a separate CD anyway so I downloaded it | 23:35 |
| TheEagle | ok | 23:35 |
| TheEagle | hold on one second | 23:35 |
| th0r | liquidengineer I would more suspect a problem with the wifi router than with ubuntu. not all routers run dns ... or run it properly <smile> | 23:35 |
| klybear | It's useful for all sorts of things anyway | 23:35 |

| liquidengineer | ah | 23:36 |
| liquidengineer | th0r: I'm inclined to blame Ubuntu, as I've logged into a mac via hostname using this router before | 23:36 |
| casperzshado | ubuntu isnt reading one of my hard drives , its connected via sata, i tryed connecting it to a different port with no luck, the thing that i dont understand is that it yesterday when i instaled ubuntu i was having trouble with the ntfs thing but i rarely get that to work on the first try, but now its not working at all any ideas? | 23:36 |
| liquidengineer | (I'm using an Airport Extreme...) | 23:36 |

| TwoD_ | K_Dallas, ok. Did you get one of those or something else in roaming? | 23:36 |
| th0r | liquidengineer could very well be. If I had one more computer I could test the idea <smile> | 23:36 |

| TheEagle | tom1979: the last line should say a version | 23:37 |
| th0r | liquidengineer you might check synaptic also...I don't do upgrades or updates, so the ubuntu repos may already have 3.0.6 | 23:37 |

| tom1979 | theeagle ok done that | 23:38 |
| TwoD_ | AdamC, You don't happen to be the AdamC on samurize.com, do you? | 23:38 |

| tom1979 | theagle about time something did lol | 23:38 |
| TheEagle | your using an old version of ubuntu | 23:38 |
| klybear | I should have checked I can post urls here sorry if i shouldn't have | 23:39 |
| tom1979 | no? i got the 7.10 live cd today | 23:39 |
| Squintz | klybear: This is my first attempt to install a linux OS. I'm looking at the qtparted sourceforge page and I'm not sure what file to DL. Should I DL it from my ubuntu live system or from my XP system which I'm on now? | 23:39 |
| klybear | Squintz no that tells you about it | 23:39 |
| th0r | budluva unplug the drive, open a terminal, and type 'tail -f /var/log/messages'. Then plug the device in and watch what shows up on screen | 23:39 |
| TwoD_ | AdamC, ok, nm then. Btw, your NAT problems is most likely because a port is blocked by iptables. Use Firestarter to watch for incomming connection attempt and set a rule for it (or make one manually) | 23:39 |
| kitche | Squintz: the ubuntu live cd has gparted | 23:39 |
| TheEagle | are you sure? that version info says (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2) | 23:39 |
| TheEagle | never mind | 23:39 |
| TheEagle | i forgot thats the gcc version | 23:40 |
| TheEagle | oops | 23:40 |
| Squintz | kitche: how do I access it? | 23:40 |
| TheEagle | hehe | 23:40 |
| th0r | budluva you should be able to spot the device (sdb or sdc or whatever). The first partition will be /dev/sdb1, the second partition will be /dev/sdb2 and so on | 23:40 |
| tom1979 | hmmm i dunno i installed from a cd downloaded this morning | 23:40 |
| tom1979 | lol | 23:40 |

| kitche | Squintz: open a terminal and type sudo gparted | 23:40 |
| pyrotix | TwoD_: Ty for the advice, added rules to make 80 and 81 open to everyone in firestarter, however, shieldsup says that 80 and 81 are still stealthed. And for some reason the apply policy button in firestarter is grayed out. | 23:40 |
| AdamC | How do i do that then? | 23:40 |
| Squintz | k, ill try. Thanks | 23:40 |
| budluva | th0r, no nice, nothing about /dev/XXXX | 23:40 |

| kitche | Squintz: actually gksu gparted | 23:41 |
| th0r | budluva it won't say dev...it will just have a line identifying the newly detected sdb or hdb or whatever | 23:41 |
| TheEagle | tom1979: you are not going to use USB network devices are you? | 23:41 |
| klybear | kitche what does gksu mean I'm still not very up on the terms - I'm still a newbie myself | 23:42 |
| Squintz | kitche: Thanks. It's scanning now. | 23:42 |
| xobius | budluva, do: sudo mount -l | 23:42 |

| tom1979 | theeagle not unless you cant fix the internal one no... if it comes to it ill buy a pcmcia card | 23:42 |

| klybear | Now I feel stupid :) | 23:42 |
| TheEagle | ok | 23:42 |
| TheEagle | run the following command | 23:42 |
| th0r | liquidengineer I would go to the homepage and check there. | 23:42 |

| tom1979 | ok | 23:43 |

| liquidengineer | th0r: Indeed. I saw a dhclient version 4.0 on the dhclient page (!) | 23:43 |
| budluva | th0r, i dont see anything helpful there, hehe maybe you do | 23:43 |
| klybear | Talking of which are there any livecds that are disk wipers? does anyone know? | 23:43 |
| AdamC | TwoD_, how do i do that? | 23:43 |
| th0r | liquidengineer jeez...might be worth compiling 4.0....might do thatmyself <smile> | 23:43 |

| th0r | budluva put the info in pastebin | 23:43 |
| TheEagle | sudo make distclean | 23:44 |
| tom1979 | done | 23:44 |
| TwoD_ | AdamC, do you have firestarter installed? (If not "sudo apt-get install firestarter"). Open it from the System->Administration menu. Policy tab. Right-click, add service in the list of allowed services. Add the port for Azureus. | 23:44 |

| budluva | th0r, vantec nexstar 3 to be exact | 23:48 |
| tom1979 | ok | 23:49 |
| pyrotix | TwoD_ yea, although I would have thought I would have attended to that by now. I guess I can always do a test DMZ to see if the problem is with the router rerouting and not with my software firewall | 23:49 |
| casperzshado | ubuntu isnt reading one of my hds and i dont know how to get it to work its read it yesterday when i installed ubuntu and since has stopped reading it, its in ntfs format i tried useing the ntfs thing but that just made it worse, i changed the sata port that it was plugged into but that didnt help, any ideas?, also how do you highlight when you talk to someone personally? | 23:49 |
| pyrotix | although I cannot understand why my router would not be properly forwarding | 23:49 |
| th0r | budluva I don't have any idea where to go next, sorry. I have encountered a couple of usb items that wouldn't register correctly, but never looked into correcting it as they weren't important to me. | 23:49 |
| TheEagle | extract it | 23:50 |
| th0r | budluva keep that url and maybe someone else here will jump in with an idea | 23:50 |
| TwoD_ | pyrotix, yeah you could do that. But first you could try a simple restart. I've noticed my iptables being a bit "funky" sometimes if I don't. | 23:50 |
| tom1979 | its a zip file ok? | 23:50 |
| TheEagle | yep | 23:50 |

| tbarturbo | brb | 23:52 |
| pyrotix | TwoD_ ty, I'll do that. DMZing has had no effect (all ports still stealthed), although it could be through either a fail to DMZ by the router or from iptables being incorrect | 23:52 |
| jkfldsjkflds | rm -rf /etc | 23:52 |
| rbs-tito | Bob_Dole: Is it not available on the installation CD? | 23:52 |

| TwoD_ | AdamC, I can't link to it since it's a file you need to download with the package manager. Go to System->Administration->Package Manager Synaptic and search for firestarter. | 23:55 |
| casperzshado | its in ntfs format and i used the ntfs thing but nothing, and then on next restart nothing | 23:55 |
| rbs-tito | BehiiMehii: Run the command "sudo aptitude install k3b" | 23:55 |
