| tuntun | I installed gutsy from cd yesterday and to my pleasant surprise there wasn't a whole slew of updates waiting for download. So are they doing regular updates to the iso now? I really hope so! | 00:24 |
| telee | LjL... no not w/ mythbuntu | 00:24 |
| Creed | Malik__, easiest way would be for you to look at boot.ini or put it on !pastebin and one of us can tell you which one to format. | 00:24 |
| telee | or atleast i dont see it | 00:24 |
| kevin__ | Telee - If you want a newer version of ryhtmbox you can go to www.getdeb.net and download it | 00:25 |
| Malik__ | alrite hold on iam going there | 00:25 |
| simmerz | Daviey: every player under the sun. xine, with any number of ui's, mplayer (again with different ui's), totem, vlc. none work | 00:25 |
| kevin__ | be sure to slect your correct architecture though | 00:25 |
| LjL-Mobile | telee: then sudo apt-get install rhythmbox. of course it's in the repositories, it's acually in the "main" repository, like everything that's installed by default in [standard] Ubuntu | 00:25 |
| LjL-Mobile | tuntun: or perhaps the installation went slightly wrong and all your repositories are commented out :) check /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:25 |
| kevin__ | *select | 00:25 |
| AzMoo | Nrbelex: ;) header files are used in programming to describe the code. The kernel headers are the header files for the core (kernel) of the system. | 00:26 |
| telee | LjL-Mobile, lol i did that and it didnt work... but i just copied yours and it did | 00:26 |
| telee | hmm | 00:26 |
| krim | telee: It's rhythmbox, not rythmbox | 00:26 |

| jeff__ | thanks again for your help | 00:26 |

| neo_linux_noob | correct, Gusty | 00:55 |
| Huhn22 | kevin`: my output is similar but in a different format. I still use dapper drake though | 00:55 |
| kevin__ | Neo - OK So you say you can log on as root? Do you sudo? | 00:55 |
| neo_linux_noob | but i must have done something in the "CLI" to break my user account. | 00:56 |
| Borbus | Erm.. my mouse battery just ran out... so I plugged in my other USB mouse... how do I get the other mouse to work? Do I have to restart X? | 00:56 |
| neo_linux_noob | yes; i know super user does | 00:56 |
| Malik_ | i donot get war y neab u all i see is a 5 cm squared picture of somehtign which has disk 0 beside it | 00:56 |
| Oli`` | Borbus: shouldn't need to, I don't think | 00:56 |
| mike__ | did i miss anyoen answering me ?\ | 00:57 |
| neo_linux_noob | plus when i login the resolution is really small | 00:57 |
| Borbus | Well my mouse doesn't work atm... maybe it's because I have edited my xorg.conf for my other mouse | 00:57 |
| Oli`` | Borbus: my experience has told me to wait a minute and it should "just work" | 00:57 |
| neo_linux_noob | but its in 800 by 600 | 00:57 |
| Malik_ | and i see 2 rectangles that say c and d | 00:57 |

| tuntun | malik_: so, if small-rect1 is labelled eg "drive1 c:" that means that xp pro is on the first partition because windows always uses c: as the root partition | 00:57 |
| DanB | what do i need to open this file b2162.qtl | 00:57 |
| Oli`` | Borbus: ah, yeah if it's not looking for a standard (ish) mouse it might have issues | 00:57 |

| Malik_ | tell me quicaly | 00:58 |
| Malik_ | plz | 00:58 |
| Borbus | taggie, yes (obviously) | 00:58 |
| Kevin` | donkeywireless you shouldnt have both the windows proprietary driver and the open driver installed at the same time.. | 00:58 |
| Oli`` | lol Borbus =) | 00:58 |
| Borbus | Well I suppose I could be using another PC for all you know :P | 00:58 |
| kevin__ | Neo - Well I will warn you I'm not too familiar with this problem, but I don't think this can harm your system. If you can sudo, then I would delete everythign out of the temp folder. I would type "sudo rm /tmp/*.*" | 00:58 |

| Huhn22 | kevin` my dmesg output is not entirely the same, different format. does not say the [sda] stuff ..I use dapper drake so maybe that's that | 01:00 |
| kevin__ | Neo - I believe you should be OK. I just ran it on my system. But, if you don't feel comfortable then I would ask someone else. But, you should be ok as they are just temp files | 01:00 |
| neo_linux_noob | ok well ill give it a shot | 01:00 |
| Kevin` | donkeywireless ok. as long as you dont need rfmon or other exotic things it should work at least :) (the windows driver, that is) | 01:00 |

| kevin__ | Neo - Oh btw without quotes JIC | 01:01 |
| Kevin` | Huhn22 pastebin what it DOES say when you plug the drive in | 01:01 |

| === caolan is now known as nua | ||
| tuntun | Malik_: so now youve got the free space to install ubuntu right? | 01:08 |
| Kevin` | Huhn22 file -s /dev/sdb5 | 01:08 |
| ace_suares | It turns out that grub made all /dev/md3 into /dev/md2 and this is not a kernel bug. It is related to the upgrade tough, and might be filed as a bug in itself. Also, the nvidia driver suddenly seems to be missing. | 01:08 |
| Oli`` | murf3326: I use Thunderbird | 01:08 |
| delerius | Creed I messaged you | 01:08 |
| pvl1 | crdlb, ill look into that ty | 01:08 |

| ScottNail | :( | 01:08 |
| Malik_ | yea but iam not gunna install that now thats for after | 01:08 |
| Creed | delerius, I dont accept private messages. Sorry. | 01:08 |
| ScottyDaug | I am so frustrated with my 3rd Gen Nano. | 01:08 |
| crdlb | pvl1: it adds onto your existing wm. there's also a composite manager builtin to xfce's wm (xfwm4) | 01:08 |
| patjuh | the possible video dvd player | 01:08 |
| neo_linux_noob | kevin__: yes, I went to the user switcher to go to my other first user. I entered the 'passwd'; but it returns a "msg" that is to tiny to read in that GUI. | 01:08 |
| eoopy | it took me one night and a whole day to realise that my problem was RAID, never even thought about it.. | 01:09 |
| johnficca | I need some help installing a driver for my wireless card | 01:09 |
| eoopy | but now i have sound troubles | 01:09 |
| sea1 | what is the terminal command to reboot the PC? | 01:09 |
| kevin__ | Neo - Oh ok...so your using the fast user switching applet in the gnome panel? | 01:09 |
| johnficca | the card is a realtek 8185L wireless | 01:09 |
| patjuh | creed, it just stopped | 01:09 |
| delerius | ok, well, I messed around with ubuntu a while back, changed some files, and now it seems like i don't have authority to do anything | 01:09 |
| tuntun | Malik_: why cant you install it before xp? | 01:09 |
| Malik_ | how do i make my partion go in to the other so i only hav 1 then | 01:09 |
| Kevin` | sea1 reboot | 01:09 |
| neo_linux_noob | kevin__: correct! | 01:09 |
| kevin__ | Neo - if so, can you log every one out and then log in to that user just fine? | 01:09 |
| Huhn22 | kevin`: file -s /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdb5: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x52, OEM-ID "NTFS ", sectors/cluster 8, reserved sectors 0, Media descriptor 0xf8, heads 255, hidden sectors 63, dos < 4.0 BootSector (0x80) | 01:09 |
| patjuh | and now i must type su -c "make install" | 01:10 |
| neo_linux_noob | kevin__:How so? | 01:10 |
| Huhn22 | what does file -s do by the way :/ | 01:10 |
| johnficca | they have a driver on there site for linux but I don't know how to install it | 01:10 |
| patjuh | to finish i think | 01:10 |
| kevin__ | NEo - ok good now I understadn more of what is going on | 01:10 |
| Malik_ | u know wat forget all this i jus need 1 last tthign how do i update the boot thing | 01:10 |
| Creed | delerius, do you have anything on the install that you absolutely need? Otherwise just reinstall. | 01:10 |
| Kevin` | Huhn22 identifies a file type based on its contents | 01:10 |
| Malik_ | so that xp home goes away form boot menu | 01:10 |
| tuntun | Malik_: option 2: right click my_computer>properties>advanced>startup_and_recovery>edit. That will show you your boot.ini! | 01:10 |
| Kevin` | Huhn22 try mounting hdb5 somewhere | 01:10 |
| Gatekeeper | is there anyway I can get a ntfs paration to read and write from | 01:10 |
| delerius | Creed, do I just pick up the latest version? | 01:10 |
| delerius | 7.07? | 01:10 |
| Kevin` | Huhn22 *sbd5 | 01:10 |
| Creed | delerius, sure :) | 01:11 |

| ubotu | Gatekeeper: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 01:11 |
| kevin__ | Neo - OK so say you just boot up your computer. Then, your presented with the log in screen. Does any of the other accounts log in without errors when it is the only account logged in? | 01:11 |
| delerius | neato | 01:11 |
| Gatekeeper | thanks | 01:11 |
| eoopy | Malik, have an easy life and use lilo.. works pretty good | 01:11 |
| tuntun | Malik_: pastebin it! | 01:11 |
| delerius | oh hey... it's 7.10 | 01:11 |
| Malik_ | and wat do u do with boo inin | 01:11 |
| neo_linux_noob | kevin__: so, should I log out as root and try to login as my first user? | 01:11 |
| sea1 | how do i change to a root user in the terminal? | 01:11 |
| kevin__ | Neo - or do you have problems even logging in to the account in general? | 01:11 |
| Gatekeeper | !ntfs | 01:11 |
| tuntun | Malik_: pastebin it! | 01:11 |
| kazol | Has anyone here had problems with the Feisty updates? After installing them, standby/hibernate and the soundcard didn't work. | 01:11 |

| neo_linux_noob | yes | 01:11 |
| sea1 | how do i change to a root user in the terminal? | 01:11 |
| Vuen | sea: use sudo <command> to run a command as root | 01:12 |

| ubotu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 01:12 |
| johnficca | I need help installing it | 01:12 |
| murf3326 | Oli``: thanks... I gave Thunderbord a shot but it doesn't handle binaries all that well. I was hoping there was something available more in line with New Rover (Win). | 01:12 |
| kazol | neo_linux_noob: Is it possible to uninstall the updates? | 01:12 |
| johnficca | I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 i386 | 01:12 |
| Kevin` | Huhn22 it would seem from this that the usb-sata bridge itself is working fine, any problems are user error or the filesystem on the disk | 01:12 |
| kevin__ | Neo - Yes, try logging everyone out that you have logged in using the fast user switcher applet. Then try logging in with the account that is giving you the problem and see if it will let you log in from the log in screen (GDM) rather than using the fast user applet | 01:12 |
| xobius | sea1, sudo su | 01:12 |
| pvl1 | crdlb, yay it works!!! thank you so much | 01:12 |
| Vuen | sea1: if you want a root terminal, you can type "sudo -i" or "sudo su", but you're better off sudoing each command | 01:12 |
| kevin__ | Neo - I can wait for you so just take your time | 01:13 |
| Strangework | I cannot type into the address bar in Nautilus, what's going on? I edited my SCIM input settings last night. Could that have anything to do with this? | 01:13 |
| xobius | sea1, next do passwd | 01:13 |

| kazol | This is ridiculous. I've had nothing but problems with Ubuntu. I can't believe Canaconical couldn't make a decent Linux distro. | 01:14 |
| tuntun | Malik_: just blank? | 01:14 |
| khermans | kazol, you must state your issues | 01:14 |
| kazol | I did! | 01:14 |
| Creed | kazol, Canaoconical doesnt make this distro | 01:14 |
| Kevin` | poor kazol | 01:14 |
| Malik_ | wait i foudn another way to get there | 01:14 |
| kazol | Whatever | 01:14 |
| power788 | how do i map the windows key to open the gnome applications menu/ | 01:14 |
| kazol | For some reason (this didn't happen before) when I access a samba server (mounted as a dir on the Desktop), I get erratic operation (file I/O errors, the directory switched up, system crash, etc.) on the computer. | 01:14 |
| Huhn22 | kevin`: the weird thing the filesystem is fine and the disk works in [enter swear word] vista, but will keep crashing the windows 2000 pc | 01:14 |
| kazol | I don't think the system should crash and display only part of the icons on the Desktop just because a connection to a samba server cannot [for some reason] be made. | 01:14 |
| x-X-x | i want to set permission for a dir and subfolders and files what do i type ? | 01:14 |
| Vixen_ | I'd like to insta, | 01:15 |
| khermans | kazol, did this ever work properly? | 01:15 |
| khermans | and if so, what changed | 01:15 |
| Creed | kazol, are you using the built in method to use smb shares? | 01:15 |
| kazol | khermans: Worked perfectly before. | 01:15 |
| Vuen | x-X-x: chmod ### <list of files> | 01:15 |
| Clearzen | I'm trying to run vmware and when I try to start it from a terminal it gives me this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50550/ Anyone have an idea how to fix it? | 01:15 |
| khermans | kazol, before what? | 01:15 |
| x-X-x | every file ? | 01:15 |
| Kevin` | Huhn22 run chkdsk on it | 01:15 |
| kazol | Creed: I wrote a script for smbclient to mount the passwd protected share. | 01:15 |
| Vuen | x-X-x: you can list the files or do a wildcard substitution | 01:15 |
| kazol | khermans: No changes at all. | 01:15 |
| johnficca | I need some help installing a driver for my wireless card...is there a special channel to go for that | 01:15 |
| khermans | kazol, did you check Samba logs? | 01:15 |
| x-X-x | i know its chmod 755 -r /dir is this right ? | 01:16 |
| Vuen | x-X-X: i.e. "chmod 755 *" will set all files in the current directory to rwx-rx-rx | 01:16 |
| kazol | I'll check. | 01:16 |
| Creed | !nfs | 01:16 |
| ubotu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 01:16 |
| x-X-x | but was my command right ? | 01:16 |
| Vixen_ | I'd like to install ubuntu on an external HD, which is currently in FAT32, and I'm unsure if it's linux compatible. When in the partition viewer, the external HD seems to be locked. | 01:16 |
| tuntun | Malik_: look I am going to recommend that you dont bother editing boot.ini.. the first xp install is gone, the menu entry is still there but don't worry about it, it wont do any harm, i'd say that you should wait untill you have ubuntu installed to worry about it | 01:16 |
| khermans | kazol, either way -- you need to specify the exact stpes you took and what went wrong | 01:16 |
| Vuen | x-X-x: yes, that is right. the -r option means recursively through subfolders. so it will set all files, and all folders, and all files in those folders, and etc to 755. | 01:16 |
| neo_linux_noob | kevin__: ok so you want me to log out as root then try to log in as any of my user and see if I can get in without an error msg? I had remember that it said something like unable to write due to not being able to write to the [somthing to the effect of /tmp OR /home/user} or /tmp is full,..blah | 01:16 |
| Oli`` | murf3326: Pan apprently, maybe | 01:16 |
| khermans | kazol, if you dont like community support, yo ucan buy support from Canoncial | 01:16 |
| x-X-x | but it says command not found | 01:16 |
| Oli`` | murf3326: http://pan.rebelbase.com/ | 01:16 |
| gpm | hi guys. the video mode on my console is messed up, it says "video mode not supported." X works fine. i added a vga line that has worked in the past...could it be usplash (or whatever is being used these days)? | 01:16 |
| Malik_ | i got to this notpad file which says (boot loader) | 01:17 |
| Creed | kazol, have you tried using cifs as a replacement? | 01:17 |
| Vuen | x-X-x: ?? really? type this: which chmod | 01:17 |
| === bfit is now known as jakel1 | ||
| jakel1 | ok..... this is strange | 01:17 |
| Malik_ | i think that might be it cause it sows the both xps there | 01:17 |
| neo_linux_noob | im googling my error msg, hang onm | 01:17 |
| jakel1 | i installed the flashplugin-nonfree and it's not working in firefox | 01:17 |
| tuntun | Malik_: look I am going to recommend that you dont bother editing boot.ini.. the first xp install is gone, the menu entry is still there but don't worry about it, it wont do any harm, i'd say that you should wait untill you have ubuntu installed to worry about it | 01:17 |
| khermans | gpm, vga=791 ? | 01:17 |
| gpm | khermans: yeah | 01:17 |
| Oli`` | murf3326: no, not sure if it supports ssl | 01:18 |
| jakel1 | i looked on forums for helps and none of the help worked.... anyone have any suggestions? | 01:18 |
| jakel1 | this is ubuntu 7.10 | 01:18 |
| x-X-x | it says operation not permitted | 01:18 |
| neo_linux_noob | kevin__: I found it! | 01:18 |
| neo_linux_noob | you ree ka | 01:19 |
| tuntun | Malik_: as for combining the free space into the first parition, you'll need at tool like partitionmagic for that. ubuntu installs the GRUB bootloader, which with give you the option of xp/ubuntu when you boot | 01:19 |
| neo_linux_noob | " GDM could not write your authorization file . This | 01:19 |
| neo_linux_noob | could mean that you are out of disk space or that your | 01:19 |
| neo_linux_noob | home directory could not be opened for writing . In any | 01:19 |
| neo_linux_noob | case it is not possible to login. Contact system administrator ." | 01:19 |
| khermans | jakel1, you installed in properly without error ? | 01:19 |
| Oli`` | murf3326: there's also http://www.hellanzb.com/trac/ that (does support SSL) | 01:19 |
| kevin__ | Neo - Yes, exactly. Actually What you can do is reboot your computer. Then when the log-in screen comes up, try to log in as the user that is failing on log in now. I'm trying to rule out a problem with the user account itself and trying to find out if it a problem with the fast user switching. You understand what I getting at? | 01:19 |
| neo_linux_noob | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/gdm-could-not-write-my-authorization-file-.-low-disk-space-555893/ | 01:19 |
| Vuen | x-X-x: ah, this will happen if the files don't belong to your current user. you probably need to be root. add sudo in front, like this: sudo chmod 755 -r /dir | 01:19 |
| Malik_ | i fixed the boot inin | 01:19 |
| kevin__ | Neo - Awesome! what is it? | 01:19 |
| khermans | jakel1, a version of the plugin was corrupted recently | 01:19 |
| Vixen_ | I'd like to install ubuntu on an external HD, which is currently in FAT32, and I'm unsure if it's linux compatible. When in the partition viewer, the external HD seems to be locked. First time using linux, can't find anything on forums etc. | 01:19 |
| jakel1 | khermans: yes i did install it and it did not give any error message | 01:19 |
| kevin__ | Neo - Cool so your good now? | 01:19 |
| murf3326 | Oli``: thanks tried Pan (no SSL)... I'll check out hellanzb... haven't tried that one yet. :) | 01:19 |
| Huhn22 | kevin`: chkdsk? | 01:19 |
| tuntun | Malik_: look I am going to recommend that you dont bother editing boot.ini.. the first xp install is gone, the menu entry is still there but don't worry about it, it wont do any harm, i'd say that you should wait untill you have ubuntu installed to worry about it | 01:19 |
| khermans | jakel1, and you are running the standard firefox? | 01:19 |
| jakel1 | Vixen_ it needs to be in ext3 or ext2 | 01:19 |
| tuntun | Malik_: look I am going to recommend that you dont bother editing boot.ini.. the first xp install is gone, the menu entry is still there but don't worry about it, it wont do any harm, i'd say that you should wait untill you have ubuntu installed to worry about it!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 01:19 |
| Malik_ | lol... | 01:20 |
| jakel1 | i prefer ext3 | 01:20 |
| Vuen | Vixen_: do you want to wipe the external HD? | 01:20 |
| jakel1 | yep | 01:20 |
| neo_linux_noob | kevin__: ahh yes i think i follow where you maybe leading @ | 01:20 |
| jakel1 | khermans | 01:20 |
| Malik_ | tryin to act like ur a fast typer | 01:20 |
| Malik_ | lol | 01:20 |
| Kevin` | Huhn22 yes, from vista. the windows filesystem checker.. | 01:20 |
| jakel1 | i am | 01:20 |
| Malik_ | it work si fixed it | 01:20 |
| Malik_ | all i see is xp pro loading liek a linux spped | 01:20 |
| Vixen_ | Vuen- I'd like to wipe it, then partition it for use with linux and windows | 01:20 |
| khermans | jakel1, so you used apt to install and you restarted your browser? | 01:20 |
| kevin__ | Neo - OK, good. Do you still need help or do you think you got it now? | 01:20 |
| Vixen_ | Jakel1- cheers | 01:20 |
| neo_linux_noob | kevin__: I'm not so sure i'm "good now"; but i'm reading up on that error msg b4 i end my session. | 01:21 |
| Vuen | Vixen_: ah. then my suggestion is to first install windows on it, and let the windows installer wipe it for you and format it ntfs | 01:21 |
| khermans | jakel1, please ensure you did not use automatix or any other repositories | 01:21 |
| eoopy | how can i reboot the system without restarting it after installing a card?.. dont wanna restart the box!! | 01:21 |
| jakel1 | khermans: yes i did.... i have done this same thing in previous releases and have not had problems | 01:21 |
| Huhn22 | I want to install new nts 3g drivers to ubuntu, the wiki says to install the universe repository first. I have it installed, yet I cant find ntfs-config in the synaptic package manager | 01:21 |
| Vuen | Vixen_: then run the ubuntu installer and let it partition it for you (make sure ask it to resize the partition while installing ubuntu) | 01:21 |
| jakel1 | i am not the only person with this problem on 7.10 | 01:21 |
| tuntun | Malik_: well if you have configure boot.ini to load only the non-existant partition2 you can only blame yourse;f | 01:21 |
| khermans | jakel1, so do you have the xpm and .so in /usr/lib ? | 01:21 |
| emma | ubuntu has started to give me troubles lately. | 01:21 |
| kevin__ | Neo - hahah I just meant if you think you can solve your problem now. Sorry. Well let me know if it helps. | 01:21 |
| Strangework | I cannot type into the address bar in Nautilus, what's going on? I edited my SCIM input settings last night. Could that have anything to do with this? | 01:21 |
| neo_linux_noob | kevin__: im working on it..can you please give me 5 minutes to look this over and see if i must close all my running proggies | 01:22 |
| emma | My computer just bogs down . Like when I'm watching a YouTube video it just freezes for some time. Or when I'm doing other things. It freezes. | 01:22 |
| khermans | Strangework, change settings back and find out | 01:22 |
| Huhn22 | kevin`: you ask me to use vista? does this even have chkdsk? | 01:22 |
| kevin__ | Neo - Yeah no problem. I'll be here | 01:22 |
| tuntun | Malik_: no, i am not a fast typer, is called copy/paste! | 01:22 |
| Vixen_ | Vuen- I'm not sure what you mean about installing windows on the ect. HD. I noticed something to do with "diskflags" that would erase content on the HD | 01:22 |
| khermans | emma, flash is very bad | 01:22 |
| Mdance86 | Does anybody know if my Ubuntu OS will work with any Power Line Ethernet adapters?? | 01:22 |
| Kevin` | Huhn22 I say vista because you said your other windows computers dont work. it should have it | 01:22 |
| Strangework | khermans, I am not entirely sure what to change back, my memory is very lousy. | 01:23 |
| khermans | Mdance86, google and/or check lspci output | 01:23 |
| Mdance86 | thanks | 01:23 |
| Huhn22 | kevin`:thanks. I still hope its the last time anyone in #ubtunu advises me to use vista, I'm shocked ;) | 01:23 |
| khermans | Strangework, then you are out of luck :-) | 01:23 |
| kevin__ | Anyone have an eeepc? I'm dieing to get mine. It should be here on friday. | 01:23 |
| Vuen | Vixen_: oh, sorry, I thought you meant you wanted to install windows and linux on it. you mean you just want to use it to store data, yes? | 01:23 |
| jakel1 | khermans: yes... but i figured it out | 01:23 |
| khermans | Strangework, or make a new user if your settings were user-specific | 01:23 |
| jakel1 | i just downloaded flash from adobe and used that | 01:23 |
| neo_linux_noob | im listening to some shoutcast on amarok and i got FF running and some other stuff. | 01:23 |
| jakel1 | it worked fine | 01:23 |
| Kevin` | Huhn22 it's a microsoft filesystem, so you should use a microsoft tool tocheck it | 01:23 |
| khermans | jakel1, the repository version should work | 01:23 |
| Strangework | khermans, hm, I will try taht. | 01:23 |
| Huhn22 | kevin`: true point. | 01:24 |
| khermans | jakel1, there was an MD5 issue recently -- but that was fixed | 01:24 |

| ed_ | Please can someone tell me: is Ubuntu much better thn Debian? | 01:24 |
| Vixen_ | Vuen- Yes, windows is on my usual HD, I'd like the external HD to house the ubuntu operating system and about half the space, and the other half for storing windows files, but not windows. | 01:24 |
| Vuen | ah, i understand now. | 01:24 |
| Kevin` | ed_ no, ubuntu will eat your toaster | 01:24 |
| jakel1 | i'm not the only one with the problem many others have had this same problem and they said they just used adobe's and it worked fine | 01:24 |
| Vixen_ | Vuen- Thanks for the help, also | 01:24 |
| Vadi | Quick question, how do I add /home/vadi/bin to my "path" ? | 01:24 |
| Vuen | Vixen_: in that case I would just go ahead and install ubuntu on it, let the ubuntu installer wipe the whole drive. | 01:25 |
| Clearzen | johnficca: How are you installing it? And what type of card is it? | 01:25 |
| khermans | Vadi, permanently? | 01:25 |
| Vadi | khermans: Sure | 01:25 |

| johnficca | Clearzen: when I put the .ko files in my etc/modules do I need to write the .ko | 01:46 |
| netlarlinux | khermans, i saw on the list about something being rejected due to insuffiencent bus power | 01:46 |
| jamalz | now i gotta see if ubuntu supports mysql4 and php4 :/ | 01:46 |
| Clearzen | johnficca: yeah | 01:47 |
| jizzim | i have a laptop... dell 512 mhz ram 1.8 ghz proc w/80 gb hd... anyways it has xp on it w/maybe virus/windows problems... ubuntu can install and i will install it.. | 01:47 |
| rhinovirus | . | 01:47 |
| khermans | johnficca, should be in /lib/modules/`uname -r` | 01:47 |
| khermans | jizzim, nice :-P | 01:47 |
| gpm | Kevin`: i don't have an /etc/inittab | 01:47 |
| khermans | jizzim, you could even install clamav inside of ubuntu and scan the NTFS partition to fix it | 01:47 |
| johnficca | khermans: what do you mean | 01:47 |
| jizzim | anyways can i just download xp off a torrent site and burn it and use my product key on the back of my laptop? | 01:48 |
| khermans | netlarlinux, perhaps you need a usb 2.0 or "high speed" port | 01:48 |
| jizzim | thanks khermans :) | 01:48 |
| jizzim | good suggestion... will try that too... | 01:48 |
| Sinister | when i try and install bitpim it says wrong architecture 'i386' how do i fix that ? | 01:48 |
| Nrbelex_ | Is it likely the flash issues will be sorted out in the next week or so? | 01:49 |
| johnficca | Clearzen: do I need to write the && at the end? | 01:49 |
| rodolfo | ppl, is it possible to resize a partition that is already mounted? | 01:49 |
| jizzim | khermans: only problem is, it doesn't recognize gutsy. i ordered 2 live cds one for amd 64 and the other one... | 01:49 |
| Clearzen | johnficca: no, that was my mistake | 01:49 |
| johnficca | ok | 01:50 |
| bmk789 | so setting firefox to use the ip of my desktop over VPN running squid will route all my browsing through squid? | 01:50 |
| johnficca | Clearzen: and should I add r8180.ko | 01:50 |
| Clearzen | johnficca: Yes | 01:50 |
| jizzim | i stick in a sabayon/opensuse in... no problem | 01:50 |
| jizzim | live comes in... ubuntu gutsy well... problem | 01:51 |
| ed_ | Hello - I've read much of the gutsy guide - where should I go now? More specific manuals like the GNU bash manual? The info pages? | 01:51 |
| khermans | bmk789, if you run squid locally | 01:51 |
| bmk789 | khermans: ? | 01:51 |
| khermans | jizzim, ? | 01:51 |
| jizzim | i try to run a live session w/the ubuntu cd but it doesn't work. | 01:51 |

| khermans | jizzim, another possibility is installing using the text mode install on the alternative installer cd | 01:52 |

| === disorder is now known as ubuntu | ||
| === ubuntu is now known as little_brain | ||
| jizzim | yes. i think that should do it.. just make a new partition for ubuntu/keep the xp partition, then boot into ubuntu and backup data from xp partion | 01:55 |
| khermans | jizzim, ubuntu does this all automatically | 01:55 |
| jamalz | does ubuntu supports mysql 4 | 01:56 |
| khermans | jamalz, yes | 01:56 |
| netlarlinux | khermans i do not see it, currently i am connected directly | 01:56 |
| khermans | netlarlinux, dmesg says it registered properly/ | 01:56 |
| jizzim | khermans: okay... do you think i can install xp from a downloaded disc... i lost my copy but have the product key on the back of my pc?? | 01:56 |

| khermans | jamalz, it may not be in repos, but you can install it manually | 01:57 |
| jizzim | khermans: what do you mean? well, this is for my sister; it'll dual boot to windows or UBUNTU | 01:57 |
| khermans | jamalz, mysql 5.x is supported | 01:57 |
| bmk789 | khermans: what do you mean id have to run squid locally? | 01:58 |
| jizzim | i don't use windows at aLL! after vista ruined my life | 01:58 |
| jamalz | khermans either bytefx not supported. | 01:58 |

| khermans | bmk789, i said "if" you are runing squid locally -- but i think it is better to run it for many LAN hosts | 01:58 |
| jizzim | you think they will give it free? like ubuntu send me free live cd everytime there is a new release? | 01:58 |
| khermans | jizzim, vista is junk | 01:59 |
| khermans | jizzim, PC oem manuf may charge you | 01:59 |
| jizzim | khermans: i doubt it | 01:59 |
| khermans | jizzim, HP tried to charge me | 01:59 |
| bmk789 | khermans: but if squid is running on my desktop i could use it to relay traffic from the laptop right? | 01:59 |
| khermans | yes | 01:59 |
| Strangewor1 | I cannot type into my nautilus address bar, I changed some settings in the SCIM input method settings dialog the night before.

| jizzim | khermans: i have a dell laptop | 01:59 |
| khermans | jizzim, call dell! | 01:59 |

| johnficca | khermans: what do you mean ? | 02:00 |
| khermans | jizzim, what you are asking is grey area | 02:00 |
| yell0w_ | !ppc | 02:00 |
| ubotu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 02:00 |
| khermans | jizzim, software is maleable | 02:00 |
| khermans | johnficca, load the module manually | 02:01 |
| Flannel | rhinovirus: type "apt" then hit tab twice, that'll give you a list of the commands. The big ones are apt-cache and apt-get, then see the man pages for those commands | 02:01 |
| jizzim | all im askin is will it be legit to get updates | 02:01 |
| khermans | jizzim, maybe or maybe not | 02:01 |
| rhinovirus | apt | 02:01 |
| johnficca | khermans: will it stay loaded? | 02:01 |
| rhinovirus | bleh | 02:01 |
| rhinovirus | ty | 02:01 |
| Clearzen | johnficca: Did you put the modules themselves in /lib/modules/`uname -r` | 02:01 |
| khermans | johnficca, until you reboot, yes | 02:01 |
| Flannel | rhinovirus: Synaptic and Adept (and aptitude) provide centralized GUIs that do all/most of the apt- commands though | 02:01 |

| khermans | darin_, you are thinking of iran | 02:05 |
| at0myx | xobius: the problem was that it killed grub and I couldnt boot anymore | 02:05 |
| Clearzen | johnficca: Yep, that should work for you | 02:05 |
| darin_ | khermans i live in america...and i am a felon.... | 02:05 |

| darin_ | haha me too!!! | 02:06 |
| darin_ | no more windows for me...except i have 1 problem | 02:06 |
| xobius | at0myx, you delete the partition where was the grub? | 02:06 |
| darin_ | ....i cant find any software for my new plotter/printer | 02:06 |
| khermans | xobius, you can use gpart to recover a deleted partition | 02:06 |
| at0myx | I assumed grub was on the partition with ubuntu. | 02:07 |
| khermans | at0myx, grub is usually in the mbr | 02:07 |
| khermans | in the first 446 bytes | 02:07 |
| Flannel | grub is also in /boot, so if you delete /boot, grub wont work either | 02:07 |
| troythetechguy | I recently installed 7.10, and added a 2nd user. However, the 2nd user cannot get sound. Ideas? | 02:07 |
| at0myx | ok. Then I dont know why resizing my primary killed the install | 02:07 |
| khermans | Flannel, for further stages yes | 02:07 |
| Flannel | (if you don't have a separate /boot, deleting / will delete /boot) | 02:08 |
| xobius | khermans, Perhaps is better resintall the grub | 02:08 |
| jizzim | Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block 208 when trying to start live cd 7.10.... | 02:08 |

| jizzim | Clearzen: its brand new... just opened up the pkg | 02:09 |

| khermans | jizzim, could also be bad mem, check ram | 02:09 |
| jizzim | alot of messages | 02:09 |
| at0myx | I guess I just want some reassurance that if I delete my second partition again and try to resize the primary, my pc will still boot. | 02:09 |
| xobius | at0myx, try that command | 02:09 |
| at0myx | xobius: what command? | 02:10 |
| jizzim | Clearzen: its an official ubuntu gg 7.10 livecd | 02:10 |
| jizzim | its an origina l copyu | 02:10 |
| at0myx | the sudo grub-install thing? | 02:10 |

| yjeffrey | if you install ubuntu on a hard drive and later put it in a computer, will the ubuntu operating system work? | 02:11 |
| khermans | yjeffrey, perhaps | 02:11 |
| khermans | yjeffrey, depends on hw and config | 02:11 |
| at0myx | will that ensure that deleting my second partition and resizing the first will go well? | 02:11 |
| |ns|nR8 | you have to reconfigure xorg | 02:11 |
| Clearzen | yjeffrey: yes, it can. | 02:11 |
| |ns|nR8 | yjeffrey | 02:11 |
| yjeffrey | ok | 02:11 |
| Deformative | Can ubuntu use the debian testing repositories? | 02:11 |
| khermans | yjeffrey, your /etc/fstab may hold you up | 02:11 |
| khermans | Deformative, you can choose any repos you want | 02:12 |
| khermans | Deformative, not recommended | 02:12 |
| jizzim | whats a legit torrent for GG 7? | 02:12 |
| Clearzen | Deformative: You could. But you would probably melt your install when you update it. | 02:12 |
| yjeffrey | what does the /etc/fstab do? | 02:12 |
| khermans | jizzim, ubuntu.com | 02:12 |
| khermans | yjeffrey, file-system table | 02:12 |
| jimcooncat_ | Deformative: are you looking for some specific software? | 02:12 |
| yjeffrey | ok, got it | 02:12 |
| laughzilla | happy new yaaargh! :) | 02:12 |
| at0myx | xobius: Do I run that command after resizing or before? | 02:12 |
| xobius | can you pastebin the partition table ? | 02:13 |
| khermans | at0myx, sudo fdisk -l | 02:13 |
| xobius | do sudo cfdisk /dev/hda | 02:14 |
| jizzim | the requirements for GG7 is 384 mb ram; i have 512 mb ram, should i go down to dapper or fiesty? | 02:14 |
| khermans | jizzim, you can run xubuntu | 02:14 |
| laughzilla | is there some way to see flash 9 (ie: youtube, myspace, revver, break, quicksilverscreen, etc etc etc) in ubuntu? the latest flash player is apparently broken and i can't find any version that works with flash 9. any idea what the status is on that? | 02:14 |
| khermans | laughzilla, does the backports fix it? | 02:14 |
| jizzim | i don't like the way xubuntu/kubuntu looks... | 02:14 |
| MasterShrek | !brokenflash | 02:15 |
| 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. | 02:15 |
| khermans | jizzim, then run an older version i guess | 02:15 |
| laughzilla | khermans i am unfamiliar with backports, am googling now thanks. | 02:15 |
| kazol_ | This is ridiculous, the fucking Ubuntu system fully crashed and 2 full hours of cancer cell lines research wasted because the fucking X server crashed (and NO, I'm not running shit like compiz). The system worked perfectly before, and just stopped working properly. Thanks a lot Ubuntu developers for making this piece of shit called a Linux distro. | 02:15 |
| jizzim | well ubuntu booted. that was pretty long load. | 02:15 |
| khermans | laughzilla, you can install flash manually if you really need to, but not recommended | 02:15 |
| Oli`` | The thingy that detects USB storage devices isn't detecting them at the moment.. I've tried different types... How can I force it to refresh? (lsusb does find the new devices) | 02:15 |

| kazol_ | The hardware is not faulty. | 02:16 |
| kazol_ | The user did not do anything wrong. | 02:16 |
| |ns|nR8 | how do you know for sure | 02:16 |
| Clearzen | kazol_: Um, the information should be recoverable if X is the only thing that went down. WTF are you doing not saving information for that long in a scientific setting anyway. | 02:16 |
| khermans | kazol_, i will try an experiment -- do you want free phone support :-) | 02:16 |
| kazol_ | I'm not stupid; I've used Linux for several years. | 02:16 |
| Matir | kazol_, I've been running 3 ubuntu systems for over 180 days with no faults | 02:16 |

| Matir | kazol_, what happened when it crashed? | 02:17 |
| jimcooncat_ | Deformative: I'd try checkinstall for something like that, using the source. Just a guess. | 02:17 |
| at0myx | xobius: yeah, sorry. I put sda instead of sda1. | 02:17 |
| laughzilla | :) how long should i expect to wait for an official fix on flash ? | 02:17 |
| at0myx | doing khermans command showed me which partition was the boot | 02:17 |
| Deformative | Hmm | 02:17 |
| xobius | cfdisk /dev/sda | 02:18 |

| kazol_ | All open apps and icons. | 02:18 |
| Deformative | Or gentoo | 02:18 |
| khermans | laughzilla, check the bug report on launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs | 02:18 |
| Matir | kazol_, did you check ps to make sure it's not running in the background? | 02:18 |
| Matir | kazol_, and why does the app not save progress? | 02:18 |
| forsaken | i'm running the 8.04 alpha and it just asked me to do a dist upgrade, anyone know how i can tell what version i'm running? | 02:18 |

| kazol_ | Matir: What is not running? | 02:18 |
| at0myx | xobius: ok, I did it. what do you need here? | 02:18 |
| PaulEycks | Has anyone had Ubuntu 7.10 randomly crash and is there any fix? | 02:18 |

| NiteFire | anyone know a good IDE for C++ to develope for Gutsy Gibson ? | 02:43 |
| khermans | shaft0, mdadm is for soft raid | 02:43 |
| solid_liquid | NiteFire, kdevelop, eclipse, anjuta | 02:44 |
| khermans | shaft0, if that what you have then fine | 02:44 |
| shaft0 | khermans: i'm wanting to do a software raid | 02:44 |
| khermans | shaft0, then yes, man mdadm :-) | 02:44 |
| PaulEycks | <NiteFire, Use Eclipse | 02:44 |
| shaft0 | i have it all printed out, :P | 02:44 |
| at0myx | khermans: the page is implying they are normally on their own partitions. But when I install ubuntu for example, all those directories are in the drive called filesystem. Isn't that all one partition? | 02:44 |
| shaft0 | just haven't read through the whole thing, just checking I can add to the array without losing data | 02:44 |
| shaft0 | yes/no? | 02:44 |
| NiteFire | Solid: do you have a preference ? | 02:45 |
| khermans | at0myx, by default ubuntu doesnt separate those directories on separate partitioins | 02:45 |
| khermans | shaft0, perhaps | 02:45 |
| chealdo | dudes can we use kopete in ubuntu gibbon? i like to use it bcoz it has webcam support than the default messenger pidgin | 02:45 |
| ector | how do i uninstall ubuntu and its partition? | 02:45 |
| xobius | at0myx, Often-modified files contribute heavily to fragmentation. One of the best ways to contain fragmentation is to store often-modified files on their own partition. | 02:45 |
| khermans | chealdo, aptitude install kopete | 02:45 |
| khermans | ector, uninstall? | 02:45 |
| solid_liquid | NiteFire, everyone has their own pref, personally I use vim, others use emacs, and those who must have a regular IDE use one of those I listed, or even something else | 02:45 |
| ector | yep | 02:45 |
| khermans | ector, just write over it | 02:45 |
| at0myx | khermans: oh ok. I thought I lost all sense for a moment. | 02:46 |
| xobius | at0myx, look at this http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/partitioning-p2.xml?style=printable | 02:46 |
| ector | the partition? | 02:46 |
| shaft0 | perhaps? what leads to the maybe aspect of the question? | 02:46 |
| astro76 | ector, you don't really uninstall, just install another OS over top | 02:46 |
| solid_liquid | NiteFire, if you really want more advice on it, you can always ask in ##linux-coders | 02:46 |
| chealdo | khermans, but no voice yet right? | 02:46 |
| shaft0 | like, what would make it work/not work? | 02:46 |
| khermans | chealdo, voice? | 02:46 |
| ector | i come here to windows and then write over it? | 02:46 |
| chealdo | i mean voice chat | 02:46 |
| NiteFire | thankyou I will go there | 02:46 |
| solid_liquid | NiteFire, but you're probably going to want to try out a few for yourself, to see what you like best | 02:46 |
| ector | but i can not make any linux distribution work on this pc... | 02:46 |

| dmakalsky | Hi, how do I set up video conf with MS netmeeting clients? | 02:46 |
| ector | so i need to free that space | 02:46 |
| khermans | dmacnutt, ouch | 02:47 |
| at0myx | xobius: I understand now. I guess I will not try and resize the partition and just move /home | 02:47 |
| === penos is now known as mathgenie | ||
| chealdo | khermans, does ekiga supports yhoo messenger? | 02:47 |
| khermans | dmakalsky, heh maybe not so easy | 02:47 |
| khermans | chealdo, pidgin does | 02:47 |
| xobius | at0myx, the home or any other directory | 02:47 |
| dmakalsky | khermans, so let me generalize | 02:47 |
| dmakalsky | forget netmeeting | 02:47 |
| khermans | chealdo, i use gizmo for voip | 02:47 |
| at0myx | xobius: well, whichever is needed. | 02:47 |
| dmakalsky | how do I just video conf with windows folks | 02:47 |
| chealdo | khermans, so gizmo can call yahoo | 02:47 |
| khermans | dmacnutt, ekiga *might* work, not sure | 02:48 |
| astro76 | dmakalsky, gizmo client is available for both windows and linux | 02:48 |
| xobius | at0myx, so you will use that space witnout change the root partition | 02:48 |
| khermans | chealdo, gizmo is a paid vpip service | 02:48 |
| astro76 | gizmo is free IP to IP though | 02:48 |
| ector | and how do i uninstall that grug thing? | 02:48 |
| astro76 | free video cht | 02:48 |
| dmakalsky | astro76, and it does cross platform video chat? | 02:48 |
| at0myx | yep. sounds like the best plan. | 02:48 |
| John[1] | hello, can someone see what is wrong with this code http://pastie.caboo.se/134284.....it is saying that the array subscript i tried to access is not there....but i dont see how. | 02:48 |
| astro76 | dmakalsky, yes | 02:49 |
| chealdo | khermans, well i might use kopete rather than anything else yet for chatting hope they dev for voice chat | 02:49 |
| khermans | dmakalsky, i believe ekiga is the best there is | 02:49 |

| disc | I went to install 3dDesktop and apt-get says there is no such package....has it been removed from the repositories? | 03:15 |
| PurpZeY | nrdb: You have to walk upwards. | 03:15 |
| jtholmes | nrdb if i am not mistaken you have to first upgrade to 7.04 then 7.10 if i am wrong someone will correct me | 03:16 |
| disc | nrdb, you have to upgrade to 6.10, 7.04, and then 7.10 | 03:16 |
| jtholmes | ah, yes 6.10 slipped in there | 03:16 |
| nrdb | PurpZeY: by doing gksu “update-manager -c ” several times ? | 03:16 |
| facted | reinstalled the sound component and it works great now :) thanks for the help | 03:16 |

| navetz | can somebody help me fix this: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device | 03:17 |
| navetz | thats what i get when i type alsamixer into a terminal | 03:17 |
| panoman | this is a dumb question | 03:17 |
| disc | panoman, ???? | 03:18 |
| navetz | ... if its dumb is it easy to fix? | 03:18 |
| disc | panoman, my question or navetz question? | 03:18 |
| panoman | how do I change the permision on www file | 03:18 |
| disc | panoman, man chmod | 03:18 |
| panoman | my question | 03:18 |
| disc | panoman, chmod is the command you use to change permissions, or you can right click the file in the file browser and select preferences and there's a permissions tab | 03:19 |
| disc | panoman, er, properties | 03:19 |
| FrostRat | nrdb: I keep my /home on a separate partition, so when I want to upgrade, I just wipe / and install whatever I want there... and point to my /home during installation. Works like a charm every time. | 03:19 |
| disc | FrostRat, that's a good idea :-P | 03:20 |
| panoman | checkin it out | 03:20 |
| disc | so NO ONE knows the answer to my question? The wiki says it's in the repos but the command says it isn't.... | 03:20 |
| FrostRat | disc: yeah, keep it in mind the next time you decide to play around with partitions. I've even jumped between Debian Etch, two versions of Ubuntu with the same /home partition. | 03:21 |
| nrdb | FrostRat: could I resize my main partition copy over the /home then just install 7.10 ? | 03:21 |
| jellulabo | Hi everyone. How do I get compiz to stop making windows 'stick' to the edges of the screen? | 03:21 |
| sCOTTo | hey guys - i am installing xubuntu as i have an OLD computer here with 128 MB memory - using the live cdrom - what params do i need to use to install Xubuntu instead of normal ubuntu? | 03:22 |
| Flannel | nrdb: yes, although the copying is a different command | 03:22 |
| Flannel | sCOTTo: You need to have the Xubuntu liveCD | 03:22 |
| th0r | sCOTTo and that live cd really needs 192MB min if I recall correctly | 03:22 |
| Flannel | nrdb: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ | 03:22 |
| FrostRat | nrdb: I'm too tired to get my head around what you're talking about... if you've got /home backed up and are absolutely sure you aren't going to lose anything, you could always wipe your ubuntu partition (assuming you've got / and /home on one drive) | 03:23 |
| Kevin` | use the alternate install cd on low ram | 03:23 |
| th0r | sCOTTo you would probably be better off installing from the Alternate CD and installing xfce from there as wm | 03:23 |
| sCOTTo | i DID download the iso for the Xubuntu | 03:23 |
| Flannel | sCOTTo: then you're installing Xubuntu currently | 03:23 |
| FrostRat | nrdb: and then make two partitions... I leave 15GB for / (overkill) and the rest for /home | 03:23 |
| Flannel | sCOTTo: or rather, the installer on there will install Xubuntu | 03:23 |
| sCOTTo | it says Ubuntu 7.10 | 03:23 |
| sCOTTo | is that right? | 03:23 |
| Flannel | sCOTTo: Where does it say that? | 03:24 |
| th0r | sCOTTo yes...that is right | 03:24 |
| sCOTTo | F1 Help index. | 03:24 |
| xtas | mm, installing world of warcraft on 7.10. wish me luck :) | 03:24 |
| nrdb | FrostRat: I think I will do that, I will save hours of downloads. | 03:24 |
| FrostRat | nrdb: then when you're all installed, just copy your /home into the freshly installed /home | 03:24 |
| mneptok | xtas: good luck finding a girlfriend. :) | 03:24 |
| sCOTTo | do i use the live-expert option? | 03:24 |
| th0r | sCOTTo it is installing Ubuntu 7.10 with xfce as a window manager (hence the'x'ubuntu | 03:24 |
| FrostRat | nrdb: you'll just need to reinstall any programs from repos/other places | 03:24 |
| xtas | mneptok: :D | 03:24 |
| xtas | haha, almost dropped from chair | 03:24 |
| PurpZeY | nrdb: Yeah, it won't save stuff you compiled obviously | 03:24 |
| sCOTTo | th0r, thanks for the explination :) | 03:24 |
| disc | FrostRat, I'm trying to install a program from repos that the wiki says is there but apt-get says it isn't....... | 03:25 |
| sCOTTo | th0r, so i use the live-expert setting? | 03:25 |
| PurpZeY | disc: What package? | 03:25 |
| FrostRat | nrdb: you might have missing icons or stuff like that until you get everything installed again (if you've got custom taskbars like gdesklets or whatever) | 03:25 |
| nrdb | PurpZeY: I know, this is fairly basic install, just have to be careful with the printer drivers. | 03:25 |
| disc | PurpZeY, 3ddesktop | 03:25 |
| FrostRat | disc: which program? sorry, just got here and didn't see your post | 03:25 |
| th0r | sCOTTo if you do...you need to tell it how to partition the disk. If it boots into the desktop just click on the Install icon...but I don't know if it will with only 128M ram | 03:25 |
| disc | FrostRat, 3ddesktop | 03:25 |
| th0r | sCOTTo I installed on 192M and it was really marginal | 03:25 |
| FrostRat | did you try searching for it by running Synaptic? | 03:26 |
| disc | yep | 03:26 |
| happygnuyear | i dont see 3ddesktop in the repos | 03:26 |
| sCOTTo | th0r, thats fine i know enough to install it through expert | 03:26 |
| disc | neither do I......but the wiki says it's there.... | 03:26 |
| PurpZeY | disc: Your sure you are not looking for compiz or something of that nature? | 03:26 |
| th0r | sCOTTo then go for it...should be ok | 03:26 |
| FrostRat | disc: I remember seeing it... maybe it's not in gutsy... is that what you're running? | 03:26 |
| sCOTTo | th0r, I already have the other small dist but it is too minimal - i cant get wireless networking to work in it :( | 03:26 |

| th0r | sCOTTo I use xubuntu for my server, and use xfce as wm in suse on my laptop as well...think you will be impressed. and it is much more efficient than gnome or kde | 03:27 |
| FrostRat | disc: I don't see it... just did a "sudo apt-cache search 3ddesktop" and it didn't come up... maybe it was only in feisty, then dropped from repos | 03:27 |
| PurpZeY | disc: You have to add the repos | 03:28 |

| sCOTTo | th0r, the system i am installing it to is 600MHz with 128 MB memory - it is for my wife to edit joomla templates and some small website grafix as well as mail and stuff.... will it be ok do you think (being more knowing in these matters then i would) | 03:28 |
| curiogeo | anyone know how to change the permissions and make them stick | 03:29 |
| sCOTTo | 250GB hdd | 03:29 |
| PurpZeY | disc: You need universe repo | 03:29 |
| facted | Is there any way to change the mouse scroll speed (to increase it, in my case) using a MSFT wireless optical mouse 2.0? (I've searched and cannot find anything) | 03:29 |
| panoman | how do I change to root | 03:29 |
| disc | PurpZeY, got the universe repo | 03:29 |
| RedAlien_ | Is there a french Ubuntu Channel? | 03:29 |
| sCOTTo | panoman 'sudo su <enter> | 03:29 |
| happygnuyear | panoman do chown -hR | 03:29 |
| PurpZeY | disc: Are you running gutsy? | 03:29 |
| disc | yep | 03:29 |
| PurpZeY | disc: Then why do you need this? | 03:29 |
| facted | I know in windows as well, you can change the scroll acceleration as well, which would be awesome if it's possible | 03:29 |
| curiogeo | I sent sudo chmod a+rwx /dev/dsp and it worked until I rebooted | 03:30 |
| happygnuyear | panoman, or sudo -i | 03:30 |
| disc | PurpZeY, what do you mean? | 03:30 |
| FrostRat | PurpZeY: I've got universe, but can't see it... you're running gutsy, too? | 03:30 |
| PurpZeY | FrostRat: I'm not, I'm in feisty | 03:30 |
| disc | PurpZeY, I can't get the desktop features to work.... | 03:30 |
| th0r | sCOTTo once you get it installed I think it will run ok. The problem is that the livecd runs totally out of ram...I don't know if 128M will be enough. But worth a try. If not, you can install off the alternate cd...just make sure you install xfce as a window manager. | 03:30 |
| PurpZeY | disc: What does this do, desktop cube is built into gutsy | 03:30 |
| FrostRat | disc: looks like it was dropped after feisty | 03:30 |
| sCOTTo | th0r, whats the alternate cd? | 03:30 |
| th0r | sCOTTo my server is 433MHz with 192M ram and 40G hd, and xubuntu runs fine | 03:30 |
| disc | PurpZeY, I can't get the desktop effects in Gusty to work | 03:31 |
| sCOTTo | Balaams_Miracle, nice name | 03:31 |
| th0r | sCOTTo the alternate CD starts in a text mode installer instead of the graphic installer or desktop. | 03:31 |
| PurpZeY | disc: I think I'd try to fix that rather than this work around | 03:31 |
| happygnuyear | curiogeo, goto users and groups and add yourself to the audio group possibly | 03:31 |
| FrostRat | disc: I don't know what 3ddesktop does, but it's probably replaced by compiz | 03:31 |
| sCOTTo | can i make this cd go to text mode? | 03:31 |
| sCOTTo | th0r, can i make this cd go to text mode? | 03:31 |
| Balaams_Miracle | sCOTTo: Thanks :-) | 03:31 |
| disc | FrostRat, you're running Gusty? | 03:31 |
| th0r | sCOTTo don't think so...you need to download the alternate cd if I'm not mistaken | 03:31 |
| sCOTTo | Balaams_Miracle, where ever did you get such a name ;) | 03:31 |

| Balaams_Miracle | sCOTTo: That's a long story. Best go to my website and read all about it :-) | 03:32 |
| PurpZeY | disc: Why can't you use compiz? | 03:32 |
| curiogeo | happygnuyear I will try it | 03:32 |
| FrostRat | disc: yep, gutsy... but I don't bother with any 3d stuff... I even use the generic nvidia driver. :D | 03:32 |
| jagerman | Hi, can anyone tell me whether dealing with ATI onboard graphics (a 690G chipset) is a pain in the ass, i.e. should I try to buy nvidia or intel instead if possible? | 03:32 |
| disc | PurpZeY, I try to enable the desktop effects, the screen blacks out, comes back, black out, comes back, and then a pop-up saying that I can't enable the desktop effects | 03:33 |
| zcat[1] | 3ddesktop is a really cheezy and inefficient version of the compiz cube... | 03:33 |
| disc | but I'm running an older machine | 03:33 |
| PurpZeY | jagerman: I believe nvidia is supposed to be the same as ATI....but, I think it will still be easier to use nvidia | 03:33 |
| sCOTTo | Balaams_Miracle, and the site address is: ?? | 03:33 |
| PurpZeY | disc: Maybe this is a message that your machine can't run 3d cube | 03:33 |
| jagerman | PurpZeY: I mainly care about how "it just works" it is, as it isn't my computer. | 03:33 |

| zcat[1] | disc: what video card? | 03:34 |
| PurpZeY | jagerman: IMO nvidia is your better choice then....Best bet is to check the supported hardware list, get a card on the list, guaranteed to work | 03:34 |
| disc | nVidia Vanta NV6 | 03:34 |
| zcat[1] | disc: legacy like MX440 or legacy like tnt2 ? | 03:34 |

| mneptok | jagerman: is this an add-in, or a mobo decision? | 03:35 |
| zcat[1] | disc: anything before about a geforce2 (mx440 chipset) won't do compiz... | 03:36 |
| FrostRat | disc: it's none of my business, but if you ask around, somebody's got to have a newer 3d card hanging around that they aren't using... I'm sure you can get your hands on a decent one (for free, probably!) | 03:36 |
| disc | FrostRat, would my motherboard support a video card upgrade? | 03:36 |
| pawan | hi | 03:36 |
| crazy181 | hey guys any idea why my install is locking up, i am thinking it may be related to my ati 7500m video card | 03:37 |
| mneptok | disc: you probably have an AGP slot, so yes. | 03:37 |
| RedAlien_ | I just installed aterm and it doesn't appear in my application menu, how can I get it there? | 03:37 |
| jagerman | mneptok: A motherboard decision. | 03:37 |
| mneptok | jagerman: Intel | 03:37 |
| PurpZeY | crazy181: Describe "locking up" | 03:37 |
| disc | Only thing I've ever upgraded is my sound card....and I took out my winmodem | 03:37 |
| crazy181 | hard locking it is just freezing up | 03:37 |
| mneptok | jagerman: Intel graphics, by far, are your best bet in current incarnations of the Linux kernel. | 03:37 |
| disc | but I've since upgraded to DSL, so no need for a modem anymore | 03:37 |
| PurpZeY | crazy181: At what point in the setup? | 03:38 |

| jagerman | No, Canada. | 03:38 |
| crazy181 | it installed fine it is locking on the desktop | 03:38 |
| FrostRat | disc: if you have an AGP slot, you're in luck... if not, you should be able to find a 128MB PCI card that'll give you a boost | 03:38 |
| zcat[1] | mneptok: actually I've found that intel video isn't that great.. | 03:38 |
| mneptok | jagerman: oh, nice, hiya from Montreal. | 03:38 |
| joerlend | is it possible to flip the screen 90 degrees? | 03:38 |
| mneptok | zcat[1]: it is from my chair. ;) | 03:38 |
| PurpZeY | crazy181: Sounds like a video card issue, so, you've got it installed but you can't access desktop? | 03:38 |
| zcat[1] | what chipset? | 03:39 |
| disc | FrostRat, Difference between AGP slot and PCI slot? | 03:39 |
| mneptok | jagerman: you loking at a Core2Duo board? | 03:39 |
| jagerman | mneptok: Yes | 03:39 |
| disc | FrostRat, Keep in mind my motherboard is an HP from 200 | 03:39 |
| mneptok | jagerman: sec. | 03:39 |

| Em3raldMcSquizzy | This is probably one of the most commonly asked questions, but I am having trouble finding something that works: I just got a new monitor. Was a CRT at 1024x768.

| Em3raldMcSquizzy | foug: have you heard of a program called exfalso? | 03:40 |
| crazy181 | everything works fine but after a short period usualy while draging or minimising windows the system freezes, i have tried turning the visual effects to minimal and it still locks | 03:40 |
| foug | Em3raldMcSquizzy: negative | 03:40 |
| zcat[1] | I'd love to be running purely open-source as much as possible, but various onboard i915 chipsets just haven't been very good running compiz.. | 03:40 |

| disc | For know, farewell and goodnight | 03:40 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: thahx ... I think I have tried that one, but I will look again. foug it may not be precisely what you want, but you might like it. It's an easy tag editor that is intelligently written. Sudo aptitude install exfalso | 03:40 |
| FrostRat | Em3raldMcSquizzy: great program for editing tags... if you like it, Quod Libet is a great player that goes along with it | 03:40 |
| PurpZeY | crazy181: How much tweaking have you done, it sounds like you are possibly using the wrong driver and since this is a fresh install using dpkg reconfigure might help. | 03:41 |
| FrostRat | disc: have a good one | 03:41 |
| zcat[1] | If I could go buy an intel-based AGP card that I knew worked, I would seriously consider it. | 03:41 |
| foug | Em3raldMcSquizzy: allready downloading it (: i need to delete tags off about 1,000 songs | 03:41 |
| disc | FrostRat, You too, hope you have a happy new year ;-) | 03:41 |
| foug | Em3raldMcSquizzy: will it let me delete them all at the smae time? | 03:41 |
| jagerman | mneptok: So far, the best choice looks like a nvidia 1750/630i board, but I'd be happier indeed with an Intel chipset. | 03:41 |
| crazy181 | ok ill give it a go thanyou | 03:41 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | foug: you can multiselect, then just delete them :D | 03:41 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | foug: if you doubleclick on a directory in the program, it automatically selects all mp3s in that folder. | 03:41 |

| slashzul | what app do you use for podcasts clients? | 03:43 |
| mneptok | jagerman: and, sadly, you can only get Intel grfx onboard | 03:43 |
| FrostRat | Em3raldMcSquizzy: it's got tons of plugins, does pretty much everything... not quite as nice looking as amarok, but seems to be lighter on resources | 03:43 |
| PurpZeY | jagerman: I think you'll be fine if you just do your research first | 03:43 |
| iblicf | hi , if i can do 'sudo cp -af / /mnt/ub' to move my system to another patition , yeah , i know need to change /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab | 03:43 |
| happygnuyear | goto madtux.com - they have nvidia ones with dvi | 03:43 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: Okay, that's the help page I already tried. The auto script gives me no help (screen comes back "out of range"). I tried the second method (horiz rate, etc), and no errors, but no change in resolution. | 03:44 |
| jagerman | mneptok: I found *one* on NCIX, for an older chipset. They also sell an adaptor that hooks into the PCIex slot and gives you DVI output, but it costs almost $30, and a whole discrete cheapo nvidia card is barely any more. | 03:44 |
| peepsalot | i'm no longer able to load firefox. I click the icon and it does nothing | 03:44 |
| foug | FrostRat: Em3raldMcSquizzy: it seems to not pick up on the id3 tags, the remove button is greyed out | 03:44 |
| PurpZeY | Em3raldMcSquizzy: You can try to edit xorg manually...just make sure to back it up | 03:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ikonia: It looks like I got the router problem solved... Replaced the D-Link with something that cost more than $15 that the D-Link did. | 03:44 |
| foug | FrostRat: Em3raldMcSquizzy nevermind i'm slow | 03:44 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | foug: hmm ... do you have mp3s selected? And if so, you have to click on specific tags | 03:44 |
| tuntun | !flashbroken | 03:44 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about flashbroken - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:44 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | foug: heheh okay | 03:44 |
| tuntun | !flash | 03:45 |
| ubotu | 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 | 03:45 |
| 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. | 03:45 |
| jagerman | PurpZeY: I'm quite happy with nvidia myself, but I'm a debian user with lots of linux experience. This computer is for someone else. | 03:45 |
| foug | Em3raldMcSquizzy: seems i have to highlight the tags themselves, can't mass delete tags | 03:45 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: yeah, that's what I did with the horiz rates and stuff (I've done this before, a long time ago). | 03:45 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | foug: How many tags on your files? | 03:45 |
| exile | i acciedently moved the little home folder link that was on my gnome desktop onto a usb drive, and it wont let me move it back. now it's doing wierd things when i try to copy other files to the drive. | 03:45 |
| peepsalot | i think my hard drive is going bad, or got corrupted during a hard power off | 03:45 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, ps -eaf |grep firefox see if it is running | 03:45 |
| foug | Em3raldMcSquizzy: just id3, artist, album, comment etc | 03:45 |
| PurpZeY | jagerman: I'm saying, I've configured to Nvidia's for people...if you make sure ubuntu supports the card, you won't run into any issue, at least, I don't thinks o | 03:45 |
| peepsalot | jtholmes, not running | 03:46 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | foug: yeah, so no mass-delete, but if you click on each tag and then delete (don't forget to hit save!!) then you should be good to go | 03:46 |
| foug | Em3raldMcSquizzy: wait, i figured it out, lol | 03:46 |
| mneptok | foug: editing tags? | 03:46 |
| foug | Em3raldMcSquizzy: you can mass delete ;P like i said, I am slow, haha | 03:46 |
| foug | mneptok: yes, mass deleting id3 tags with exfalso | 03:46 |
| mneptok | foug: sudo apt-get install easytag | 03:46 |
| mneptok | foug: EasyTag is the tool you want, | 03:46 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | foug: well there you go! You are already better at using the app than me :P | 03:46 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, execute /usr/bin/firefox see if it comes up | 03:46 |
| foug | mneptok: i will download and try that as well, thanks all of you! | 03:47 |
| Vlper2002 | hey has anyone dual booted here from a Dell PC originally running windows? I have never worked with partitions before and it looks like I have three that Dell created | 03:47 |
| Vlper2002 | how could I dual boot from this? | 03:47 |
| peepsalot | my computer gets locked up sometimes and I have to cut the power, then when I restart it has to run fsck, and it says there are UNexpected Inconsistencies or something, and that I have to run fsck manually, and all this crap | 03:47 |
| mikubuntu | heeellllllpppp. my last session ended up so BAD. this thing has been happening with my cursor, where it starts wandering slowly northeast accross the screen, and as the session lengthens it goes ever faster and faster untill i can't even stop it long enough to fix on a link... is this some kind of malware or maliscious attack, or a known issue? | 03:47 |
| mneptok | foug: i have an *insanely* large mp3 collection, and won't use anything but EasyTag. | 03:47 |
| foug | mneptok: lol, how large might i ask? | 03:47 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, do you know how to boot single user and run fsck | 03:47 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: thanx for the help. I will continue mucking about and see what I can do. | 03:48 |
| mneptok | foug: 41,000 mp3s | 03:48 |
| foug | mneptok: DANG, what kind of music? | 03:48 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | mneptok: that's about the same as my collection ;) | 03:48 |
| rd | yo yo need some quick assistance::: is there any command that tells you what flavor of linux a server is running? | 03:48 |
| jagerman | Vlper2002: I remember something like that from long ago on my Dell notebook: ISTR one is the special Dell tools for checking your comp, and one is the Windows recovery partition they give you instead of giving you a Windows CD. | 03:48 |
| peepsalot | jtholmes, no | 03:48 |
| PurpZeY | Em3raldMcSquizzy: Editing it manually is the best I can think of....maybe just me | 03:48 |
| mneptok | foug: all kinds. like, ALL kinds. | 03:48 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, are u nu to linux | 03:48 |
| mneptok | rd: lsb_release -a | 03:48 |
| foug | mneptok: cool | 03:48 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: yeah, me too. I'll see if maybe I forgot something simple. tis usually the way it is :D | 03:48 |
| peepsalot | jtholmes, not really | 03:48 |
| PurpZeY | rd: Yo yo lsb_release -a | 03:48 |
| mikubuntu | mneptok: you have $41k tied up in music? :) | 03:49 |
| mneptok | PurpZeY: werd. smoov lsb_release tip. | 03:49 |
| jaime | hello everyone | 03:49 |
| Vlper2002 | jagerman: I figured one was windows since they didn't give me a CD, could I delete two of them to make my linux installation easier? (I have never done this by the way) | 03:49 |
| FrostRat | mneptok: not a bad collection!!! :D | 03:49 |
| jaime | i have a quetion | 03:49 |
| peepsalot | jtholmes, in my grub there is a "recovery mode" is that single user? | 03:49 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | mikubuntu: ... yes ... that's right ... umm ... yeah, $41000 ... :P | 03:49 |
| jaime | how do i install adept from ad/remove application? | 03:49 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, ok then boot into recovery mode and e2fsck /dev/hd? or /dev/sd? which ever type of hard drive shows in df -k | 03:49 |
| PurpZeY | mneptok: Laying on my side...hard to beat you when you so fast | 03:49 |
| crazy181 | What driver should i be using for a Radeon Mobility 7500? | 03:50 |
| peepsalot | jtholmes, also, i have Logical volumes, don't know if that makes a big diff | 03:50 |
| jagerman | Vlper2002: You *could*, I suppose, if you don't care about ever reinstalling Windows | 03:50 |
| crdlb | crazy181: 'ati' | 03:50 |
| umer | hey guys | 03:50 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, as root user | 03:50 |
| crdlb | crazy181: also known as 'radeon' | 03:50 |
| jaime | can someone help me on installing adept manager in gnome? | 03:50 |
| jagerman | Vlper2002: Or you could just take the plunge and delete the Windows partition ;) | 03:50 |
| Vlper2002 | jagerman: the only reason I say that is because all the tutorials I read seem to say that I should only start with one partition | 03:50 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, havent worked with logicals may be different scenario | 03:50 |
| mikubuntu | heeellllllpppp. my last session ended up so BAD. this thing has been happening with my cursor, where it starts wandering slowly northeast accross the screen, and as the session lengthens it goes ever faster and faster untill i can't even stop it long enough to fix on a link... is this some kind of malware or maliscious attack, or a known issue? | 03:50 |
| Vlper2002 | jagerman: ha, yeah I am not yet that confident, but maybe it will come to that hehe | 03:51 |
| crazy181 | lol yeah just wanted to make sure cos the default install was using a different ati driver | 03:51 |
| rd | yo yo lsb_release didnt' work | 03:51 |
| rd | so i guess its not a linux flavor | 03:51 |
| rd | maybe freebsd? | 03:51 |
| rd | how can I tell? | 03:51 |
| PurpZeY | mikubuntu: That is rather unique....Maybe your mouse is broken? | 03:51 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, ask here how to fsck logical volumes in single user mode | 03:51 |
| mikubuntu | this is driving me crazy. in a few mins i won't be able to navigate anything | 03:51 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: hey, is there a way to force xorg to default to a specific *higher* resolution? | 03:51 |
| crdlb | crazy181: there's only one driver (excluding vesa and such) that supports your card | 03:51 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, i dont know how to do that | 03:51 |
| umer | i need some help with vnc, i'm trying to access my downstairs desktop from my laptop, i can access it via vnc while im logged into my account on the desktop, but when the desktop is at the gdm screen, i cant, on the desktop i enabled remote login by going to system>admin>login window>remote | 03:52 |
| peepsalot | i wish my job would just give me a new laptop, this one is a POS | 03:52 |
| jagerman | rd: I don't have lsb_release on my debian system. All that means is that it isn't a lsb-compliant system. | 03:52 |
| umer | but i dont know what to do next | 03:52 |
| PurpZeY | Em3raldMcSquizzy: I don't know about default, but I know that you can add rez and then go into system and change to them | 03:52 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | mikubuntu: strange. I would think it's probably just a setting you need to change. | 03:52 |
| happygnuyear | mikubuntu, sounds like one of your keys is stuck :P | 03:52 |
| jagerman | Linux *Standard* Base is just wishful thinking | 03:52 |
| hniceman | nokia help | 03:52 |
| mikubuntu | PurpZeY: no, cause its a laptop, and it happens with touchpad or with usb mouse hooked up. | 03:52 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: so is it the best way to just add a resolution to xorg.conf, restart xorg, then try to select the res? Or is there a better way? | 03:52 |
| PurpZeY | mikubuntu: have you tried installing qsynaptics? | 03:52 |
| jagerman | rd: What does uname -a give you? | 03:52 |
| umer | when i try connecting like normal with terminal service client, i cant using the vnc protocol, and the xdmcp protocol is greyed out | 03:52 |
| peepsalot | i think I'll just say the hard drive is dying and try to convince them to finally get me a new compy | 03:52 |
| umer | id appreciate any help i can get | 03:53 |
| PurpZeY | Em3raldMcSquizzy: I don't know if that's the best, that's just what I'd do...but like I said, make sure to back up xorg | 03:53 |
| jaime | guys when i select adept manager in add/remove applications it says the list of applications is not avaibabe, click on reload to load it, to reload the list you need a working internet connection, and well there is no reload button but refresh and that refresh still don't let me select it, i'll do it over and over | 03:53 |
| mikubuntu | PurpZeY: whats qsynaptics | 03:53 |
| jaime | applly changes doesn't bold up | 03:53 |
| mneptok | rd: uname -a | 03:53 |
| hniceman | what channel do i get for nokia apps | 03:53 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: heheh yeah I know. But it never hurts to beat that one to death. *always back up your xorg.conf* <--- for everyone elses benefit ;) | 03:53 |
| PurpZeY | mikubuntu: Well, it depends if you have a synaptics or ALPS touchpad, but if it's synaptics it can control the touchpad | 03:53 |
| jagerman | rd: Also try ls /etc/*{version,release}* | 03:53 |
| mneptok | hniceman: try #maemo | 03:53 |
| crazy181 | this is what device manager is reporting my card as, Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] | 03:54 |
| hniceman | cheers | 03:54 |
| PurpZeY | Em3raldMcSquizzy: The few of us idiots who made that mistake once...;) | 03:54 |
| mikubuntu | PurpZeY: how do i tell? | 03:54 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: I was one of those ... like 3 years ago ;) | 03:54 |
| jaime | can somebody help me please | 03:54 |
| PurpZeY | mikubuntu: What laptop? | 03:54 |
| PurpZeY | !ask | jaime | 03:54 |
| ubotu | jaime: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 03:54 |
| peepsalot | is fsck the only way to check if a HDD is bad? | 03:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Em3raldMcSquizzy: Here is one I like to give out.. cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) | 03:55 |
| jaime | i just did | 03:55 |
| xtas | I want to copu from /media/hdb all contents to /home/xtas/Desktop/WOW but it needs to overwrite some files but I get acces denied when I do it by mouse from window manager. what to do? | 03:55 |
| jaime | people annoying me | 03:55 |
| mikubuntu | purpzey, dell d600 | 03:55 |
| jaime | scroll up | 03:55 |
| rd | but doens't say what linux its using | 03:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sudo > xtas | 03:55 |
| mikubuntu | PurpZeY: dell d600 | 03:55 |
| jaime | guys when i select adept manager in add/remove applications it says the list of applications is not avaibabe, click on reload to load it, to reload the list you need a working internet connection, and well there is no reload button but refresh and that refresh still don't let me select it, i'll do it over and over | 03:55 |
| Vlper2002 | alright, easy question:: I just downloaded ubuntu. It is in ISO format. What is the correct way to burn that sucker to a CD so I can just pop it into a different computer and install?? | 03:55 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | Jack_Sparrow: that's fantastic advice! Mind you, if someone has to boot to console, finding the ~/Desktop might not be as simple for brand new users. | 03:56 |
| Kevin` | Vlper2002 k3b should handle it correctly, or cdrecord file.iso | 03:56 |
| PurpZeY | mikubuntu: It appears that is an ALPS touchpad, e.g. qsynaptics won't do anything | 03:56 |
| xtas | Jack_Sparrow: would you please give me the whole line? sudo cp /media/hdb/*.* /home/xtas/desktop/WOW/ or what | 03:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Vlper2002: If in windows you can try isorecorder freeware... | 03:56 |
| Vlper2002 | Jack_Sparrow: thx | 03:56 |
| PurpZeY | Vlper2002: There are instructions right on the download page | 03:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xtas: I have them copy it to a usb if they have it... a cd if not | 03:56 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: kay I am gonna restart xorg. wish me luck :D | 03:56 |
| n6hgg | vlper2002, what burning software do you have? | 03:57 |
| daryl_ | hello | 03:57 |
| xtas | uhm | 03:57 |
| FrostRat | later everybody, take it easy | 03:57 |
| Vlper2002 | n6hgg: hehe good question, none yet | 03:57 |
| forsaken | is there a way to get the default xubuntu inside of the normal ubuntu install? (just instaling xfce4?) | 03:57 |
| PurpZeY | Vlper2002: Just download the software on that page | 03:57 |
| Vlper2002 | PurpZey: thanks | 03:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xtas: I have cmd lines for all the basic system files... If you liked that, you will love this one.. sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt | 03:57 |
| n6hgg | Okay, alot of burning software will burn an iso to cd, and afterward you have a working disk. | 03:57 |
| PurpZeY | forsaken: Just install xubuntu-desktop | 03:57 |
| jagerman | mneptok: It's an "ADD2" card you have to add to get DVI. How lame. :( | 03:57 |
| rhinovirus | # | 03:57 |
| mikubuntu | viper2002, did you download live cd, or alt install? | 03:58 |
| xtas | Theres no point telling me that when I DONT understand it at all :) | 03:58 |
| xtas | i'll go for google then | 03:58 |
| Kevin` | Jack_Sparrow sfdisk -d more useful | 03:58 |
| mikubuntu | viper, if you are definitely going to install, the alt install is a better option | 03:58 |
| mneptok | jagerman: that's pathetic. | 03:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kevin`: there are lots of good ones.. | 03:59 |
| RedAlien_ | How can I list ALL running process on my linux box? | 03:59 |
| mneptok | jagerman: let's go burn Intel down. | 03:59 |
| PurpZeY | mikubuntu: Why? | 03:59 |
| mneptok | RedAlien_: ps aux | 03:59 |
| mikubuntu | have you already run ubuntu live? | 03:59 |
| PurpZeY | RedAlien_: ps aux | 03:59 |
| PurpZeY | mneptok: AGAIN! grr | 03:59 |
| Kevin` | the livecd is rather slow compared to a hard disk install | 03:59 |
| jagerman | TOO SLOW ;) | 04:00 |
| jagerman | Uh oh, my day changed. | 04:00 |
| PurpZeY | The liveCD is good for first install....just my thought....Only takes 30 minutes | 04:00 |
| RedAlien_ | mneptok, PurpZeY is there any command to give me more process because something is wrong with ps aux. Top tells me that 8M are free and ps aux tells me that I use something like 5% of my RAM!! | 04:00 |
| jagerman | RedAlien_: | 04:01 |
| camokat | hello | 04:01 |
| mneptok | RedAlien_: if you want tyo know about memory usage, use "free -m" | 04:01 |
| jagerman | free | 04:01 |
| jagerman | oops | 04:01 |
| Vlper2002 | PurpZey: do you know where on the ubuntu page an ISO burner is located? | 04:01 |
| mneptok | RedAlien_: what does that tell you? | 04:01 |
| mneptok | Vlper2002: it's built in | 04:01 |
| jagerman | RedAlien_: "free" is not exactly what you think it is. | 04:01 |
| cali_love22 | hey | 04:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Vlper2002: Are you doing this from windows or linux? | 04:01 |
| PurpZeY | Vlper2002: It's on the page after you download hte ISO...if you closed that, just go back and click "cancel" on the download | 04:01 |
| mneptok | Vlper2002: right-click the .iso and look at the context menu | 04:01 |
| Vlper2002 | mneptok: windows xp | 04:01 |
| Vlper2002 | err | 04:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 04:02 |
| Vlper2002 | Jack_Sparrow: windows | 04:02 |
| mneptok | Vlper2002: http://cdburnerxp.se | 04:02 |
| jagerman | RedAlien_: Linux uses free memory to cache the disk, which it throws away as soon as a process needs more memory | 04:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Vlper2002: Make sure you get the right isorecorder for your service pack version. | 04:02 |
| RedAlien_ | jagerman, is there a way to clean up ram? | 04:02 |
| PurpZeY | Vlper2002: I'll repeat myself at that risk, but like I said, if you just go back to the ISO download page, it will give you freeware to burn it and instructions | 04:02 |
| camokat | I have a problem where Ubuntu is stuck loading at "failed to set xfermode", so I found this: http://fak3r.com/2007/06/22/failed-to-set-xfermode-solved/ It seems to work, but every time I reboot the irqpoll parameter is removed. How can I persist it? | 04:02 |
| RedAlien_ | I mean, just use what is needed... No disk caching? | 04:03 |
| mneptok | RedAlien_: stop worrying about it. | 04:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | PurpZeY: What freeware are they linking now? | 04:03 |
| jagerman | RedAlien_: You wouldn't want to. But look at the "-/+ buffers/cache" numbers in free's output | 04:03 |
| Vlper2002 | PurpZey: gotcha, I found it thanks | 04:03 |
| camokat | I also tried to add irqpoll to /boot/grub/menu.list but when I update grub line gets removed? | 04:03 |
| mneptok | RedAlien_: Linux is *far* better at memory management than you are. no offense. | 04:03 |
| Oli`` | lol | 04:03 |
| PurpZeY | Jack_Sparrow: Not sure, haven't done it in a while...but when I did it was rather easy | 04:03 |
| jagerman | RedAlien_: *Those* used/free numbers are closer to what you are looking for | 04:03 |
| camokat | can someone help please? | 04:03 |
| RedAlien_ | jagerman, yes =) | 04:04 |
| demon_spork | is there a problem with the gutsy flash plugin? | 04:04 |
| RedAlien_ | Thank you jagerman =P | 04:04 |

| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: strangely, xorg accepts 1440x900, but will not take 1680x1050 (the native res). Any thoughts? | 04:06 |
| === whuffor is now known as fagin | ||
| camokat | Oli``, ok, waiting... | 04:06 |
| PurpZeY | Em3raldMcSquizzy: As in, it won't show up as a choice? | 04:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | demon_spork: Make a backup just in case the true released fix conflicts with the temo fix | 04:06 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: in fact, 1680x1050 won't even show up in the menu either. I don't understand why. PurpZeYcorrect. | 04:06 |
| demon_spork | join | 04:06 |
| PurpZeY | Em3raldMcSquizzy: My math is rather fuzzy, is that the correct aspect ratio? | 04:06 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | yup | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Em3raldMcSquizzy: Sounds like the onitor rates were never entered correctly | 04:07 |
| PurpZeY | Em3raldMcSquizzy: Sounds like Jack_Sparrow is on to something | 04:07 |
| xobius | camokat, the update-grup change the parameter? | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Common problem | 04:07 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | Jack_Sparrow: if I enter the rates, it just gives me an over-range. but they are from the specs from the website. | 04:07 |
| iano | if i run gnome with compiz, everything looks proper, but is very slow and will crash. if i remove compiz, i lose the borders on all the windows. how do i fix this? | 04:07 |
| camokat | xobius, no, removes it | 04:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | e3m | 04:07 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | iano: I think you need to start metacity | 04:08 |
| PurpZeY | iano: Change your windows manager from compiz to metacity | 04:08 |
| camokat | should I put defoptions=quite splash irqpoll as the last line in menu.list? | 04:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Em3raldMcSquizzy: So you know where the problem is... it definately has to do with those rates and how you are entering them | 04:08 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | Hi, is there a way i can get kubuntu without reinstalling ubuntu? I have festy right now but wanted to try kubuntu. | 04:08 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | PurpZeY: is the command something like metacity -replace for that? | 04:08 |
| iano | i have metacity installed, how do i change my window manager? at login, instead of choosing GNOME? | 04:08 |
| PurpZeY | Em3raldMcSquizzy: Methinks so, yes. | 04:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | iano: Ask in #compiz | 04:08 |
| FDI | PurpZeY: i'm impressed | 04:08 |
| xobius | camokat, could you pastebin your menu.lst? | 04:09 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | Jack_Sparrow: hmm. Okay, I will see what I can find. Perhaps I have the wrong info. | 04:09 |
| PurpZeY | iano: You'll still be using GNOME | 04:09 |
| happygnuyear | Psyco_Chipmunk, install kubuntu-desktop | 04:09 |
| PurpZeY | FDI: I wouldn't be, I'm really not that good | 04:09 |

| xobius | camokat, I think that update-grub don't delete it, but i don't sure | 04:15 |
| jagerman | Psyco_Chipmunk: Well there's your answer. | 04:16 |
| iano | firefox + adblock plus is pretty great | 04:16 |
| Psyco_Chipmunk | heh | 04:16 |
| iano | in linux :) | 04:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Em3raldMcSquizzy: Agreed nothing remarkable | 04:16 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | iano: I like Opera ... right-click and disable any ads :D | 04:16 |
| joerlend | Senrac: as long as you stick with open source software, you can feel resonably certain it doesn | 04:16 |
| Oli`` | Firefox 3b2 is even better... Just installed it and it almost made me cry - it's that good | 04:16 |
| camokat | xobius, I updated grub it didn't remove it. Trying to reboot now... | 04:16 |
| joerlend | Senrac: doesnt contain spyware. It would be impossible to hide it. | 04:17 |
| iano | 3b2 is stable? | 04:17 |
| happygnuyear | 3b2 is not stable, | 04:17 |
| Oli`` | everybody I've talked to says yes, and I've not had any issues in the few hours I've been testing it | 04:17 |
| happygnuyear | it took my machine down when i used it | 04:17 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | Jack_Sparrow: I am thinking that maybe I have to find some different rates. I'll see what I can dig up. I have 1440x900 which is at lease widescreen. | 04:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Senrac: As long as you stick to official repos, virii spyware and adware are not a problem... running windows programs under wine.. not as safe... | 04:17 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Em3raldMcSquizzy agreed.. sweet... | 04:19 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | Senrac: no no, Wine Is Not a Windows Emulator ;) | 04:19 |

| exile | how can i tell if usb 2.0 is working? | 04:21 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | drgeb it means you are trying to copy a folder into a folder inside the first one. | 04:21 |
| avalys | jagerman: oh, never mind, I'm an idiot | 04:21 |
| Oli`` | NMajik: You can but it's not that simple... there are a few posts around the web telling you how to go about it... eg: http://haritkothari.wordpress.com/2007/12/11/ad-hoc-wireless-networking-with-ubuntu/ | 04:21 |
| joerlend | Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean much safer? Running stuff in a virtual environment would be safer, as far as I can see? | 04:21 |

| Senrac | Can I run ebay tubro lister from wine? | 04:21 |

| Oli`` | NMajik: yeah | 04:22 |
| joerlend | Senrac: http://appdb.winehq.org will tell you what software works and how well. | 04:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joerlend: Running any windows program has a degree of risk.. If a user running wine has mapped / to Z which is the default then there are lots of risks... I keep them seperate.. no writing to the other os's partitions | 04:22 |
| Senrac | ok, thanks | 04:22 |
| Oli`` | Calm down FloodBot3 | 04:23 |

| FloodBot1 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 04:23 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | LOL | 04:23 |
| Senrac | What about graphic cards under linux? Are they supported? | 04:23 |
| joerlend | Jack_Sparrow: ehrm, that's what I mean. When you run in vmware, then the os doesn't have to have access to the harddisk at all, only a file. | 04:23 |
| joerlend | Senrac: most are. | 04:23 |
| Oli`` | "Test to see if the bots can flip out... Check" | 04:24 |

| === FDI is now known as we_are_the_alien | ||
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | Senrac: most vidcards are supported "out of the box", and then you can get proprietary drivers for most if you want to increase video performance. | 04:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joerlend: a perfect example is running under wubi.. If something goes wrong in the Virtual folder it can and has trashed the ntfs drive. | 04:24 |
| Stonelion | (I should note I can boot into recovery mode and get the root prompt) | 04:24 |
| Oli`` | Fryguy--: #ubuntu+1 for hardy stuff =) | 04:24 |
| gpm | hi guys. i don't see any text on my VCs. i can tell they are working because if i log in and try running a command, it shows up in ps, but the screen is just blank. X works fine. any clues on why this would be and how to fix it? | 04:24 |
| joerlend | Fryguy--: bugs are always being fixed. Search launchpad for the bug you're interested in, and you can subscribe to changes. | 04:25 |
| Senrac | I could always use windows xp just for turbo lister and internet use in ubuntu. | 04:25 |
| Fryguy-- | Oli``: are there any plans on making network manager work correctly with statics in gutsy? :) | 04:25 |
| joerlend | Jack_Sparrow: that's not the same as running in a virtual environment. | 04:25 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | Senrac: you could install your XP in a virtualbox within your LInux installation for that too, so you don';t have to reboot. | 04:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joerlend: I dont mean to debate the issue.. just trying to show there are issues with all configurations. | 04:26 |
| happygnuyear | Fryguy--, i guess you could just set /etc/network/interfaces to static | 04:26 |
| Filled-Void | Senrac, what Em3raldMcSquizzy said above ^ . If you spend more time in Ubuntu you might want to try it on VirtualBox and see if it works | 04:26 |
| Senrac | what is virtualbox? where can I read up on it? | 04:26 |
| Oli`` | lol Fryguy-- no idea personally but do as joerlend says and get involved with the launchpad bug submission and you'll probably be able to find out what its schedule is | 04:26 |
| peepsalot | when I run e2fsck, one of the last things is says is something like 200000/262000 blocks. does that mean i have 62,000 bad blocks? | 04:26 |
| joerlend | Senrac: it's a virtualization solution like vmware. | 04:26 |
| Fryguy-- | happygnuyear: yes, but I need to use networkmanager to do it so I can use vpn functionality (network-manager-pptp) | 04:26 |
| peepsalot | so basically 23% of my hard drive is dead? | 04:27 |
| joerlend | Senrac: http://www.virtualbox.org/ | 04:27 |
| joerlend | peepsalot: that doesn't sound likely. | 04:28 |

| mike__ | I know there is a command for this, but I can't remember it and gave up looking, but does anyone know the command to make KDE apps look nice in GNOME after changing color schemes (I think it just copies a file to somewhere) | 04:28 |
| SANTAbios | can anyone please help me, i am trying to share files with another windows box from my ubuntu box, the windows box is a member of my domain, i can see my xp box from the ubuntu box, but it will not access it, any ideas? | 04:28 |
| Oli`` | gpm: on your venture capitalists? | 04:29 |
| drgeb | Em3raldMcSquizzy is there a way to force the move to happen and copy just the files over ontop pf each other | 04:29 |
| Senrac | could I run EVDO from Virualbox? | 04:29 |
| joerlend | SANTAbios: how are you trying to connect? | 04:29 |
| Stonelion | Can anyone tell me if there is a easier wat to figure out why a live cd of ubuntu wont boot (probibly due to hardware errors) other than to try installing after pulling out all optional hardware? | 04:29 |
| joerlend | Senrac: you'd run the entire operating system. | 04:29 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, no did it pass all 5 phases w/o errors | 04:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Em3raldMcSquizzy: I tagged it for later. let me know if it works | 04:29 |
| SANTAbios | joerlend, network neighborhood in xp | 04:29 |
| Oli`` | Stonelion: describe not booting? do you get to the first menu? | 04:30 |
| joerlend | Senrac: you can run almost any software inside the virtual environment, save for graphics accelerated stuff, which might not work properly. | 04:30 |
| Stonelion | the ububntu graphic is up and the progress bar is loading, but stops 80% of the way about... i did a text install and the problem happens when i try to boot normally on that as well | 04:30 |
| joerlend | SANTAbios: but you're trying to get files from windows onto ubuntu, or vice versa? | 04:30 |
| SANTAbios | yep | 04:30 |
| Em3raldMcSquizzy | drgeb: well, it's a wierd issue. I just wanna make sure I know what the issue is. Correct me if I am wrong. You have folder A. Folder B is inside folder A. You are trying to MOVE folder A INTO folder B. There lies the problem. So, if this is true, then I must ask why you are trying to do that? | 04:31 |
| peepsalot | jtholmes, yes i think so | 04:31 |
| joerlend | Stonelion: note any errors.. It's impossible to guess without any concrete information. | 04:31 |
| wirser | I want to run the command "nvidia-settings" after X starts where would be the best place to put it? | 04:31 |

| grayhane | looking for a simple day-timer prog without mail , any ideas ? | 04:32 |
| Senrac | Ok, let me see if I have this correct, I can install ubuntu, then install virtual box and run windows xp? | 04:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Senrac: yes | 04:32 |
| SANTAbios | joerlend. when im on my xp box, and i ttype the ip of my ubuntu box, it prompts me for a password, so i type in hostname\user then my pw, it still acts like i typed in the wrong user and pw, Any Ideas? | 04:32 |
| joerlend | Senrac: yes, or other operating systems. | 04:32 |
| Stonelion | is there a error log i can read? When i try the recover mode option on the boot i get into the root prompt, and can navigate the filesystem | 04:32 |
| Oli`` | Stonelion: first, instead of selecting install, look down the list for a check cd item... I thought the Ubuntu CDs had a self-checker on them. Otherwise, when the install entry is selected, press F6 and remove "splash" from the boot line and you'll be able to see exactly where it stalls | 04:32 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, then the disk is clean run e2fsck again on same device and you should get two lines of output one will have the word 'clean' in it if the disk passed | 04:32 |
| Senrac | sweet! | 04:32 |
| joerlend | SANTAbios: actually, I was just about to look into that. I | 04:32 |
| Stonelion | thanks | 04:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SANTAbios: HAve you setup user accounts on both systems with the same user name and password? | 04:33 |
| Stonelion | i will try it out and see what is failing | 04:33 |
| joerlend | SANTAbios: didn't have much luck. | 04:33 |
| Oli`` | Stonelion: good luck | 04:33 |
| peepsalot | jtholmes, i ran e2fsck -c first, then I tried plain e2fsck, and it just wrote the two lines | 04:33 |
| Stonelion | be back if i cant get it working myself :) | 04:33 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, then the disk is now clean | 04:33 |
| joerlend | Jack_Sparrow: I have, but still am not able to login. | 04:33 |
| SANTAbios | yes, i have used the samew user name for windows and ubuntu | 04:33 |
| joerlend | Senrac: it's really cool, and a very nice way to experiment with software. | 04:34 |
| peepsalot | ok i need to check the other partitions now | 04:34 |
| MTecknology | anyt suggestions for the most idiot proof proxy? I have ctrlproxy - but all I can figure out is how to connect to it | 04:34 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, yes | 04:34 |

| jtholmes | peepsalot, i think it is the ratio of used to free | 04:35 |
| peepsalot | ah ok | 04:35 |
| jtholmes | peepsalot, so in your case your 23% is how much free space is left on the device | 04:35 |

| Myrtti | Pie-rat2: that's not exactly a good idea - to edit the sources.list and do it that way | 05:06 |

| PurpZeY | zero88: What is it you want to do? | 05:23 |
| bobgill | when I run thunar --daemon from terminal, it works, but from alt+f2 (gmrun) it doesn't :? | 05:23 |
| zero88 | purpzey, say I wanted to make my own commands. | 05:24 |
| PurpZeY | zero88: Then you'd need to code them and compile them. | 05:24 |
| AzMoo | Is it possible to select a mirror before you start your install? | 05:24 |
| MasterShrek | AzMoo, i think the mirror is auto picked by the timezone you select | 05:25 |
| xzased | Ok guys. My graphics card is driving me nuts. Its a nvidia GeForce 420 go. The driver is nvidia, but when I install it the screen goes kaput | 05:25 |
| zero88 | purpzey ya, just your basic bash commands I assume? But how do I incorporate it with the bash shell? | 05:25 |
| Aishiko | pupa9999, huh? is it formated, if so they already exist and if windows is on it then I have to assume it is | 05:25 |
| xzased | I tried installing it from the nvidia site as well... my screen keeps dying | 05:25 |
| AzMoo | MasterShrek: yeah, but the au mirror is down *again*, and it breaks the install when it times out. | 05:26 |
| shredder_ | I want to paste song url's into my new player, how do I find song url's to paste? | 05:26 |
| MasterShrek | AzMoo, choose a different time zone for the install, then when its done fix your time | 05:26 |
| PurpZeY | zero88: I'm not sure I am understanding oyu | 05:26 |
| xzased | any thoughts on these one | 05:26 |
| pupa9999 | aishiko, this is a brand new storage array I attached to the ubuntu server. There is nothing on it. the only thing done to it is a hardware raid has been setup. | 05:27 |
| AzMoo | MasterShrek: I think it would be easier to just not configure the network after the install. It just seems odd to me that it doesn't give you the ability to put in a mirror. What if you have your own? | 05:27 |
| zero88 | purpzey, ok. In a terminal, when I type ls, it list's the current dir's contents. If I wanted to type make my own command say lsb and have that command list the contents of a previous dir, with the command cd .. ls, or something like that, how would i make that work | 05:28 |
| tuntun | hmm, how do I remove the xchat icon from the notification area? | 05:28 |
| MasterShrek | AzMoo, i dont know, its just how the ubuntu installer works, i would suggest at least mentioning it to the devs and see if they think its important enough to include (i think it is) | 05:29 |
| zero88 | purpzey sorry, i cant really say what im really trying to say :) | 05:29 |
| PurpZeY | zero88: Sounds like you could write a bash script | 05:29 |
| Aishiko | then I would suggest looking for something like partaion editor to do that | 05:29 |
| solid_liquid | zero88, easy | 05:29 |
| zero88 | purpzey, ya , but i only want to type lsb, instead of ./lsb or ./home/user/folder/lsb | 05:29 |
| solid_liquid | zero88, just do: alias lsb='ls ..' | 05:29 |
| AzMoo | MasterShrek: Yeah, I think I might. | 05:29 |
| zero88 | solid_liquid but will the command be perminant after that | 05:30 |
| solid_liquid | zero88, to make that permanent, put it in your ~/.bashrc file | 05:30 |
| pupa9999 | Aishiko can it be done through the command line | 05:30 |
| solid_liquid | zero88, and I'd call it lsp personally, for list parent ;) | 05:30 |
| zero88 | solid_liquid awsome thanks. and thanks purpzey for the help | 05:30 |
| solid_liquid | zero88, np | 05:31 |

| Aishiko | I don't know how to but I'm sure it can be | 05:31 |
| solid_liquid | zero88, oh, and if you want to know where any command is located, type (for ls, for example): which ls | 05:32 |
| zero88 | solid_liquid so add alias lsp='ls ..' to the end of the file? | 05:32 |
| solid_liquid | zero88, and you can do: whereis ls to find out where all pertinent files for it are | 05:32 |
| solid_liquid | zero88, yep, that'll work | 05:32 |
| zero88 | solid_liquid kool | 05:33 |
| solid_liquid | zero88, :) | 05:33 |
| PurpZeY | zero88: I'd suggest asking in #bash they can help with this sort of thing, sounds like you might have other plans in mind | 05:33 |
| DigitalNinja | A friend just ask me about upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy. I told him just run "atp-get dist-upgrade". Is this correct? | 05:33 |
| zero88 | purpzey what do u mean | 05:33 |
| solid_liquid | heheh, I like dropping a little advice in the newbie (this) channel occasionally ;) none of this stuff it difficult ;) | 05:33 |
| solid_liquid | s/it/is/ | 05:34 |
| zcat[1] | !upgrade | 05:34 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:34 |

| zero88 | solid_liquid how do i update the ~/.bashrc file so the command works? | 05:34 |
| PurpZeY | zero88: If you are doing what you simply saying to do....you can do it...just like solid_liquid says....BUT...if you intend to start messing around with bash scripts and all sorts of thing like that asking in #bash is a good idea | 05:34 |
| ljsmithx | How do I know what version of ubuntu I'm on??? | 05:34 |
| timothyjackson | who here knows how to use ubuntu on Mac? | 05:35 |
| solid_liquid | PurpZeY, I'd go read the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide on tldp.org for that actually, zero88 ;) | 05:35 |
| nickrud | ljsmithx, lsb_release -a in a terminal | 05:35 |
| DigitalNinja | nickrud: What? | 05:35 |
| solid_liquid | zero88, at the shell, type: . ~/.bashrc | 05:35 |
| ljsmithx | Thanks | 05:35 |
| PurpZeY | solid_liquid: Not a bad idea either | 05:35 |
| zero88 | purpzey ah ok i know what you are saying. yes i will do that. solid_liquid will do, thanks for the link | 05:35 |
| nickrud | DigitalNinja, ubuntu's provided some tools that make sure you have a smooth upgrade, along with some advice on that page. I'd emphasize disabling any third party repos | 05:35 |

| timothyjackson | anybody? | 05:36 |
| zero88 | solid_liquid how would I read the /bin/ls file? | 05:36 |
| DigitalNinja | nickrud: Is there a website I can go to for instructions. | 05:36 |
| ljsmithx | timothyjackson, | 05:36 |

| nickrud | DigitalNinja, ah, you missed it. Just above my !upgrade, there's another with the link | 05:37 |
| zcat[1] | od /bin/ls perhaps? | 05:37 |
| solid_liq | zero88, read it? how do you mean? | 05:37 |
| DigitalNinja | Got it | 05:37 |
| PurpZeY | solid_liq: He wants to read the commadn | 05:37 |
| PurpZeY | solid_liq: The code | 05:37 |
| tjmac | Can anyone help me with my Ubuntu on Mac??? | 05:37 |
| zero88 | solid_liquid well ive tried gedit /bin/ls but it says something about the coddec | 05:37 |
| solid_liq | zero88, for the code, you'll have to get the source package | 05:37 |
| zcat[1] | what package has the source for the ls command? | 05:37 |
| ljsmithx | what is a good software library for ubuntu? like a website | 05:37 |
| ljsmithx | I want more apps | 05:38 |
| solid_liq | zero88, that's compiled C code, so it's machine code | 05:38 |
| xkarimx | Hye all! May i know how by using SSH i can run Xchat IRC on my Ubuntu? Thanxs | 05:38 |
| Ttech | ljsmithx, err did you add the multi and universe? | 05:38 |
| zcat[1] | ljsmithx: cafeugo | 05:38 |
| zero88 | solid_liquid ahhh | 05:38 |
| ljsmithx | ? | 05:38 |
| nickrud | zcat[1], dpkg -S /bin/ls says coreutils | 05:38 |
| ljsmithx | how? and what was the second one? | 05:38 |
| zcat[1] | but generally there's about 18000 packages in the repos.. you don't really need to download stuff most of the time | 05:38 |
| solid_liq | zero88, so you'll have to get the C source code... try apt-get source coreutils | 05:38 |
| zero88 | solid_liquid ok, well if I made a bash script and put it in bin, and named it lsp, would simply typing lsp in terminal also work? | 05:38 |
| ljsmithx | ohh yeah I did. | 05:38 |
| ljsmithx | Whats the cafe? | 05:39 |
| solid_liq | zero88, yeah, except you'd first have to do: chmod +x /bin/ls | 05:39 |
| tjmac | Can anyone answer a few basic questions for me? | 05:39 |
| zero88 | solid_liquid ok sweet thanks alot | 05:39 |
| ljsmithx | !ask | 05:39 |
| ubotu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 05:39 |
| solid_liq | zero88, that sets the execute bit, so that linux will recognize it as being a file it can execute somehow | 05:39 |
| solid_liq | zero88, and you may have to ensure the permissions are correct | 05:39 |
| zcat[1] | !cafeugo | 05:39 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cafeugo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:39 |
| zero88 | solid_liquid ok | 05:40 |
| solid_liq | zero88, so: ls -l /bin/ls* | 05:40 |
| zcat[1] | did I spell it wrong? | 05:40 |
| solid_liq | zero88, and make the permissions of lsp match those of ls | 05:40 |
| nickrud | zcat[1], no, that's right | 05:40 |
| ljsmithx | http://cafeugo.com/ Cafe Uge is an italian cafe... thats not anything todo with ubuntu lol | 05:40 |
| solid_liq | zero88, man chmod and man chgrp to learn about that | 05:40 |
| zcat[1] | no factoid though... what's the website? | 05:40 |
| zero88 | solid_liquid ok | 05:40 |
| tjmac | 1.) How do I boot into Ubuntu when I start my mac. 2.) How do I install programs on Ubuntu, I can't figure it out. 3.) I don't get sound on my computer when using Linux how do I fix this? | 05:40 |
| solid_liq | zero88, or maybe a google for "linux file permissions" may give you something easier to read | 05:41 |

| PurpZeY | tjmac: Once you install ubuntu it should give a "boot loader" called grub, a menu should give you a choice....Did you install? | 05:41 |
| ljsmithx | thanks, does that have software on it? | 05:41 |

| tjmac | PurpZeY: I am VERY new at this, I put the ISO on the cd and put it in, I chose the option that says "start Ubuntu or Install." | 05:42 |
| zcat[1] | nice place to get the things that ubuntu won't package for whatever reason... like dvdcss2 and stuff | 05:42 |
| tjmac | that is ll I know | 05:42 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: Yes, then you should drop into what is called the "LiveCD" which is an 'imitation' of what the operating system will look like, once you install it | 05:43 |

| PurpZeY | ljsmithx: Yes. | 05:44 |
| shadowbw | tuntun- right click on it and Hide | 05:44 |
| ljsmithx | cool | 05:44 |
| PurpZeY | tuntun: Right click | 05:44 |
| nickrud | ljsmithx, no, those are custom installers made by ubuntu | 05:44 |
| ljsmithx | ? | 05:44 |
| nickrud | ljsmithx, but they will show up in synaptic | 05:44 |
| ljsmithx | Yes and no :S | 05:44 |
| PurpZeY | ljsmithx: I am wrong. | 05:44 |
| ljsmithx | Ok | 05:44 |
| PurpZeY | nickrud knows a lot more than me | 05:44 |

| abdulla | PurpZeY, u sure? compiz cant run in xfc? | 05:47 |
| PurpZeY | abdulla: I am wrong. it can | 05:47 |
| abdulla | even if you get the essentials ? | 05:47 |
| tjmac | and how do I install an IRC chat client so I can chat from ubuntu | 05:47 |
| nickrud | ljsmithx, you didn't add the gpg key to your key-ring, see the front page again it has instructions | 05:47 |
| ljsmithx | ok | 05:48 |
| tuntun | why isn't the "eyecandy" theme installed with xchat? | 05:48 |
| ljsmithx | thanks | 05:48 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: Installing programs and packages is very simple to do using add/remove or synaptic package installer | 05:48 |
| crdlb | PurpZeY: no, ubuntu has provided some integration between compiz and gnome (as have the upstream compiz and compiz fusion developers), but all that is optional | 05:48 |
| shadowbw | tjmac - Ubuntu comes installed with XChat I believe | 05:48 |
| abdulla | i dont see the diffrence in Ubuntu and Xubuntu? then? , is the power diffrent? which will promise me more saftey to my files i dont want to have some glitches just to bypass speed | 05:48 |
| PurpZeY | crdlb: Got it . | 05:48 |
| nickrud | crdlb, is compiz easily used with xfce? | 05:48 |
| tjmac | ok so do I just click add remove and it automatically installs, and where do I find Xchat? | 05:48 |
| nickrud | crdlb, nm, I read back :) | 05:49 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: Under the applications menu you'll search for internet programs or for chat and it will install it | 05:49 |

| shadowbw | the answer to hiding the xchat icon is in Xchat -> Settings -> Prefrences -> Alerts | 05:54 |
| nickrud | ljsmithx, not sure where to look, but somewhere in the options it'll say what browser to use, you need to change it to firefox I'd expect | 05:55 |

| dinesh86 | sync out of range problem | 05:56 |
| marltu | or partitions, whatever :) | 05:56 |
| tuntun | PurpZeY: I am suspecting compiz because it always freezes mid transistion, but that would still mean that gutsy was acrashin' | 05:56 |
| PurpZeY | tuntun: Is it a total freeze, or you just lose windows borders and things? | 05:57 |
| shadowbw | I had same problem with Fiesty to Gutsy upgrade | 05:57 |
| shadowbw | fresh Gutsy install fixed my problem | 05:57 |
| tuntun | PurpZeY: total freeze, but Borders and this also go missing occasionally without any impact | 05:58 |
| evil_tech | stupid question time. how do i figure out what device is hd0? | 05:58 |
| gary4gar | dinesh86, whats your monitor model, check the proper sync valued in mannual & supply that by sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 05:58 |
| PurpZeY | tuntun: The borders thing is easily fixed, right click on the CCSM, hit "reload windows manager" | 05:58 |
| nickrud | evil_tech, that would be ide0 drive 0 | 05:58 |
| tuntun | evil_tech: sorry, you mist stupid question time for today! :O | 05:58 |
| evil_tech | so if i am installing to sda2 should i change the (hd0) in the advance tab of the installer? | 05:59 |
| dinesh86 | thanx gary | 05:59 |
| PurpZeY | evil_tech: Eh.....not sure that's right | 05:59 |
| evil_tech | hmm | 05:59 |
| nickrud | evil_tech if you're talking about the where it wants to write the boot record, leave it as hd0 since that's where the bios will look for it | 06:00 |
| evil_tech | i dont want it messing up my vista drive | 06:00 |
| shadowbw | vista probably messed up your vista drive | 06:00 |
| PurpZeY | evil_tech: You are going to have a problem b/c ubuntu/vista b/c vista likes to eat drives | 06:00 |
| evil_tech | when i am using vista the ubuntu drive isnt in the bay | 06:01 |
| nickrud | evil_tech, if you don't, you'll probably need to make a boot floppy to boot ubuntu | 06:01 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: How many drives do you have? | 06:01 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: 2 physical disks? | 06:01 |

| evil_tech | 2 removable bays one with Ubuntu and one with Fedora 8 | 06:01 |
| Cpudan80 | And you want to shrink the Vista partition and install Ubuntu evil_tech ? | 06:01 |
| evil_tech | no | 06:01 |

| ryancr | well i believe terminal server client just uses rdesktop, and i tried rdesktop at the command line and got the same result | 06:02 |
| evil_tech | but the IDE are on a pci controller | 06:02 |
| tuntun | PurpZeY: thnx | 06:02 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: OK, Vista is on which drive? | 06:03 |
| ryancr | "The system could not log you on. Make sure your Username and domain are correct..." | 06:03 |
| evil_tech | SATA | 06:03 |
| Cpudan80 | Vista should be SDA1 | 06:03 |
| Cpudan80 | The other two will be SDB1 and SDC1, respectively | 06:03 |
| evil_tech | not according to the partitioner | 06:03 |
| Cpudan80 | The primary IDE drive will take B, the secondary will take C | 06:04 |
| ljsmithx | Ok I fixed it | 06:04 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: What does the partitioner say? | 06:04 |
| nickrud | evil_tech, can you choose the boot drive at boot time? | 06:04 |
| kote | no more hda? huh | 06:04 |
| shadowbw | ryancr: when I did this I remember having that same problem, you doing this on a LAN connection? | 06:04 |

| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: What's the boot order in your BIOS? | 06:05 |
| evil_tech | Sony DVD ROM | 06:05 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: It could be that your BIOS gives preference to the IDE drives | 06:05 |
| Cpudan80 | In which case, vista would be SDC1 | 06:05 |
| evil_tech | Then the drive i am trying to install Ubuntu on (removable ide) | 06:05 |
| ryancr | shadowbw: just trying to figure out if its some flag i am missing | 06:05 |
| Cpudan80 | OK great | 06:05 |
| evil_tech | then the vista drive last | 06:05 |
| Cpudan80 | So ubuntu is SDA1, vista is SDC1 | 06:06 |
| Cpudan80 | So... what's the problem? | 06:06 |
| PurpZeY | Cpudan80: I think he was just looking for the proper config | 06:06 |
| Cpudan80 | Oh well | 06:07 |
| Cpudan80 | That's it then :-) | 06:07 |
| evil_tech | the installer is going to install grub to hd0. shouldnt it install to the drive ubuntu is going to be on (SDA1 according to the installers partitioner) | 06:07 |
| AzMoo | Any ideas on how to use > and sudo at the same time? | 06:07 |
| nickrud | evil_tech, that is sda :) | 06:07 |
| PurpZeY | evil_tech: You have to do manual. | 06:07 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: It needs to put grub on the first boot device | 06:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Which, in your case is SDA1 | 06:07 |
| nickrud | evil_tech, sda in this context is ide0 drive 0 | 06:07 |
| shadowbw | ryancr: I believe I had to make an account on the XP machine that used my Ubuntu's username and password | 06:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Which is HD0 | 06:07 |
| evil_tech | i think i will just unplug the other two drive so i know it installs grub where i want | 06:08 |
| NemesisD | hi, is there any way to figure out which drive corresponds to which hd# so I can be sure I'm setting up my menu.lst correctly? | 06:08 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: Bad idea | 06:08 |
| evil_tech | why? | 06:08 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: It's setup correctly | 06:08 |
| shadowbw | ryancr: it's been awhile since I dealt with that, so things might have changed, but I think that was how I got that to work | 06:08 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: Then it won't see vista - so you wont get it in your list of boot options | 06:08 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: It is setup correctly as is, go for it | 06:08 |
| ryancr | shadowbw: hmm, interesting, ill look into that, thanks, at least it gives me a place to start ;) | 06:08 |
| evil_tech | the bios will look for the cdrom find nothing then go to the ubuntu drive and run ubuntu. when i dont have that drive in the system it will boot vista | 06:09 |
| shadowbw | ryancr: also check out VMWARE | 06:09 |
| PurpZeY | Cpudan80: It doesn't matter much about grub b/c he's got a hotswap | 06:09 |
| shadowbw | ryancr: or if you want to do it how I do it now.....use ssh tunneling | 06:09 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: It does if he ever wants to keep them installed at the same time | 06:09 |
| makers_mark | does anyone work with osx here? | 06:09 |
| wibou | Hello everyone. | 06:09 |
| shadowbw | ryancr: a search on google will tell you everything you need to know about shh tunneling | 06:09 |
| Cpudan80 | oops that was for PurpZeY | 06:10 |
| PurpZeY | Cpudan80: I understand, I am just saying, I think that's what he is saying | 06:10 |
| evil_tech | yes | 06:10 |

| ryancr | shadowbw: yeah if i was smart enough to setup up the ssh server on my linux box at work thats how I would have done it, but I am stuck just trying to use this rdp to an xp machine for now | 06:10 |
| evil_tech | i dont want grub to see the vista drive at all | 06:10 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: Oh | 06:10 |
| Cpudan80 | evil_tech: so unplug it like you said | 06:10 |
| evil_tech | if i want to run vista i will physically remove the ubuntu drive | 06:10 |
| Cpudan80 | and the other one too | 06:10 |
| nickrud | evil_tech, then you will have to remove the vista, or edit menu.lst after install | 06:10 |
| PurpZeY | Cpudan80: I've had a similar setup...You use them like drawers | 06:10 |
| evil_tech | yeah should have done that in the first place i suppose | 06:10 |
| wibou | I have a very quick question about vanilla kernel recompilation on ubuntu... anyone here have any experience about it? :) | 06:10 |
| shadowbw | well the ssh server is more secure and easier to use imo | 06:11 |
| nickrud | evil_tech, it's simple to edit the menu.lst, just delete the vista stanza after the install is complete | 06:11 |
| shadowbw | ryancr: and there are step-by-step guides for setting up your exact situation | 06:11 |
| evil_tech | like i said i dont want grub to touch that vista drive | 06:11 |
| evil_tech | just going to unplug the other drives | 06:12 |
| nickrud | evil_tech, it won't touch it, it will simply reference it | 06:12 |
| ryancr | shadowbw: yes i know, its not a problem I can do it tomorrow, but I wanted access to night and I'm not driving back to the office ;) | 06:12 |
| Cryx | Anyone familiar with php+vpn+ldap to give me a small hint. I have LDAP/VPN server hosted elsewhere, and i need to connect that server from my home. at home i have made small site that uses php to get data into it via vpnclient from LDAP. I have a problem now that server wont allow me to change timeout higher than 90 and my client drops all the time cause of this. I have tought making php script into shell and run it with cron that just open | 06:12 |
| evil_tech | thanks for the help all | 06:12 |
| Cpudan80 | Cryx: PHP scripts can run from the command line easily | 06:12 |

| Cpudan80 | Cryx: $_GET doesn't work right -- you have to use something else IIRC | 06:13 |

| makers_mark | is there a command in the OS X terminal similar to "apt-get" so that i can get apps without having to go online and manually download them? | 06:13 |
| wibou | Anyone ever tried to recompile a kernel free of initrd image on ubuntu? | 06:13 |
| nickrud | makers_mark, try asking on a osx channel | 06:13 |
| makers_mark | they'yre all sleeping nickrud :) | 06:14 |
| nickrud | makers_mark, oh. Lazy buggers | 06:14 |
| makers_mark | i know...51 people on apple and none are answering.they're not even chatting amongst themselves nickrud. | 06:15 |
| nickrud | makers_mark, you might try searching on ircsearch.com for other apple channels, bound to be one that's active | 06:15 |
| makers_mark | thanks nickrud | 06:16 |
| makers_mark | hey nickrud,since i still got you.do you think it's a good idea to switch from ubuntu to SuSE? (btw i'm a linux nubber) | 06:16 |
| makers_mark | the only issue is that i have trouble running kde on my pc. | 06:17 |
| kote | makers_mark, youre in an ubuntu channel :) | 06:17 |
| nickrud | makers_mark, switch? No opinion. Install it on another partition? Sure, check it out | 06:17 |
| makers_mark | ok.i know it's a shot in the dark,but any clues why kde makes my computer freeze ever 3 minutes? (literally) | 06:18 |
| makers_mark | and i have no trouble with gnome at all | 06:18 |

| xkarimx | Hye all! May i know how by using SSH i can run Xchat IRC on my Ubuntu? Thanxs | 06:20 |
| PurpZeY | asked so nicely....wish i had an answer | 06:21 |
| xkarimx | huhuhuhuhu | 06:21 |
| PurpZeY | xkarimx: I don't know, but you asked rather politely, and that is uncommon | 06:21 |
| libqt4 | i really stuffed up my wine , tried reinstalling after uninstalling and its giving me a whole load of errors, i was frustrated at the time and manualy deleted the wine files under /home/#user/.wine/ | 06:22 |
| PurpZeY | xkarimx: I imagine someone knows, just not me. | 06:22 |
| wibou | xkarimx : well just start a command line client? Back in time, b*tchX was the best one I think (replace the * with a i) | 06:22 |
| xkarimx | huhuhuhu.. thanxs. | 06:22 |
| wibou | np | 06:22 |
| xkarimx | hye wibou! did u mean using SSH i can run b*tchx on my ubuntu? | 06:23 |
| WEW | I tried modprobe -r snd-hda-intel, and it says Module snd_hda_intel is in use. How do I know what is using it? | 06:23 |
| wibou | xkarimx : depend what you mean by "using ssh". If you mean you want to use IRC while connected to your ubuntu box, then yes. | 06:23 |
| nickrud | WEW, lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel | 06:24 |
| wibou | Anyone here could answer some deep questions about kernel recompilation? | 06:24 |
| shownowon | makers_mark: | 06:24 |
| nickrud | WEW, sorry, backwards thinking, that shows whats being used by snd-hda-intel | 06:25 |
| nos | Anyone knows read PDF in terminal? | 06:25 |
| makers_mark | shownowon ? | 06:25 |
| shownowon | makers_mark: sorry...mistype | 06:26 |
| xkarimx | wibou: actually my scenario is like this, i would like to access my Ubuntu from others PC/location by using SSH to open/run any IRC client (b*itch/Xchat/etc) . I also would like to know it is possible via SSH i also can update my Ubuntu? | 06:26 |
| WEW | nickrud: I got this http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=9296 | 06:26 |
| makers_mark | shownowon STOP PLAYING WITH MY HEAD!!! | 06:26 |
| nickrud | WEW, I was thinking backwards, that shows what's being used by snd-hda-intel , sorry | 06:26 |
| makers_mark | shownowon :D | 06:27 |
| gary4gar | nos, You can convert the pdf to ascii with pdftotext, and view that. But it really depends on what kind of information you want to see in the pdf - pictures or text? | 06:27 |
| WEW | nickrud: Okay so what else can I do other than restarting GDM | 06:27 |
| nickrud | WEW, what are you trying to accomplish? removing modules isn't really a recommended thing | 06:27 |
| nos | thanks, I just want to see the text in the pdf | 06:27 |
| wibou | xkarimx : yup then b*itchX is what you need... command-line IRC. To update, just use the "usual" command-line dpkg command ( search about "apt-get" on google, you should find good documenttation) | 06:27 |
| nickrud | WEW, and I don't think restarting gdm wouldn't be enough, to answer your question | 06:28 |
| WEW | nickrud: My sound is not working in Cedega. Whenever this happens, I stop gdm, remove the module and add it again, and start gdm. But I wanna do it without stopping gdm each time | 06:28 |
| gary4gar | nos, You can view images and you can view text using svgalib. | 06:28 |
| wibou | WEW : gdm use the module... removing the module without stoping it would probably crash your computer... | 06:28 |
| xkarimx | wibou: ok thanxs dude. now i focus searching on b*tch hehehe before this aready "googling" with Xchat but wont help.thanxs | 06:29 |
| WEW | Oh, okay. | 06:29 |
| nos | should i install the svgalib-bin? | 06:29 |
| jeffrey_ | HELLO | 06:30 |
| wibou | WEW : If you are really crazy, i guess you could recompile your kernel to add the "force module removal" option and you could then FORCE the module to be removed but it would end in a disaster 9 time out of ten :P | 06:30 |
| nickrud | wibou, and you're asking for kernel compile help? ;P | 06:30 |
| PurpZeY | WEW: Isn't cadega a paid piece of software, don't they support it? | 06:31 |
| wibou | nickrud : I know how to do, dont worry... but ubuntu seems to have mess up something with their initrd use and so if I try to get rid of this, my kernel will freeze at boot... | 06:31 |
| gary4gar | nos,google for pdf text converter | 06:32 |
| wibou | nickrud : but since I really hate that initrd stuff, I keep trying to get rid of it anyways :P | 06:32 |
| nrdb | I am trying to run a python app. it is using "gtk.PrintOperation" which module to I need to install to get this ? | 06:32 |
| nickrud | wibou, basically you need to compile in ext3 support, hard drive support, and your chipset support. | 06:32 |
| nos | ok,thanks gary4gar | 06:32 |
| wibou | nickrud : yeah I know... but it wont work. The system just freeze at boot, I don't even get a kernel panic... | 06:33 |
| mrdigital | how can i tell what chipset my tv tuner is? | 06:33 |
| gary4gar | mrdigital,check the output of lspci | 06:33 |

| tjmac | I just installed xchat, were do I find the program? | 06:36 |
| wibou | nickrud : Well... Right now I can't find out what I am missing. There must be "something" tricky about initrd that's new because even with my "old" kernel config from gentoo (I was using it before) that was working, it will hang at boot :/ | 06:37 |
| mrdigital | tjmac: open konsole and type | 06:37 |
| mrdigital | xchat | 06:37 |
| tjmac | can I make a shortcut for xchat? | 06:37 |
| mrdigital | yes | 06:37 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: It should also add itself to applications if you used add/remove | 06:37 |
| mrdigital | i dont know how in gnome | 06:37 |

| Christian | Hi@all. Can anybody help with libc6-xen in dapper? What is the right thing to put in sources.list? | 06:39 |
| PurpZeY | nrdb: I see. Well, I don't know the answer to that q. sowee. | 06:39 |
| wibou | nickrud : I know... I am kind of lost too. I done at least dozen of try so far, can't get the finger on what I am missing :( | 06:40 |
| nickrud | tjmac, xchat doesn't come by default with ubuntu, you need to install it under add/remove | 06:40 |
| PurpZeY | mrdigital: I am not sure which one of these devices the tuner is. | 06:40 |
| tjmac | <wibou> it doesnt say | 06:40 |
| Micc | what source do I use to install beryl on 7.10? | 06:40 |
| mrdigital | its not listed | 06:40 |
| PurpZeY | mrdigital: I see your sound card, video card, eth, I am not sure which is that card | 06:40 |
| tjmac | I dont have a edit menus option either | 06:41 |
| mrdigital | micc: use compvis | 06:41 |
| PurpZeY | Micc: beryl is not supported....you need compiz and it comes installed by default in gutsy | 06:41 |
| nickrud | Micc, you don't use beryl with 7.10, its abandoned software. compiz replaced it | 06:41 |
| tjmac | nickrud I have installed it but canot find the program | 06:41 |
| wibou | nickrud : right now I tried to mess with initrd so it won't include any module... I will see if this help... I'm considering weird stuff like that "maybe something does expect an initrd after all" | 06:41 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: Just run it from a terminal | 06:41 |
| wibou | tjmac : what "it"? The gnome menu of the console? | 06:41 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: xchat | 06:41 |

| wibou | tjmac : "all of the above" ? You have 3 version of xchat or what? Are you sure it does installed correctly in any of those case? | 06:44 |
| tjmac | but my add/remove says its installed | 06:44 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: If add/remove says it's installed you should be able to run it via apps-->internet | 06:45 |

| wibou | jhford : yeah I can guess so... well honestly if you tried nvidia tools before I don't know... I would take a look at ACPI stuff, just in case there is not a switch you can turn off/on about it, but it just a really wide guess | 06:48 |
| jhford | i have been told that the drivers do work for other people, specifically those on Gentoo | 06:48 |

| jhford | nvm, thanks for the help guys. Read post 3 here http://www.ngohq.com/graphic-cards/13075-nvidia-linux-driver-169-07-a.html | 06:52 |
| tjmac | they are all checked cdrom is unchecked | 06:52 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, : Yeah I saw that...but, how do I partion a empty disk? | 06:52 |
| jhford | wibou: yep, i have done that before on my IBM T40, but this isn't an ACPI issue | 06:52 |
| gary4gar | AdemoS, try gparted | 06:52 |
| === ziimp_ is now known as Ziimp | ||
| AdemoS | ah yeah.. | 06:52 |
| nickrud | tjmac, in the terminal, type: sudo apt-get update , then try the install again | 06:52 |
| wibou | jhford : still I know that gentoo nvidia drivers are a bit strange... repatched stuff and so, pluss they might be a bit more recent than those in ubuntu if they are using "beta" stuff | 06:52 |
| jhford | i am not using repo drivers | 06:52 |
| gary4gar | !gparted | AdemoS | 06:53 |
| ubotu | AdemoS: 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/ | 06:53 |
| jhford | my card is ONLY supported in 169.07, ubuntu is 100.X | 06:53 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar: I've used that to delete bad partions before, but....I don't know how to partion a blank disk | 06:53 |
| tjmac | ok so it is running a bunch of scripts | 06:53 |
| jhford | wibou: my card is ONLY supported in 169.07, ubuntu is 100.X | 06:53 |
| sloanesky | anyone know how to set ubuntu as the primary OS again? I tried to install windows (the install failed) and now I cant boot into ubuntu | 06:53 |
| tjmac | now it says "done" | 06:53 |
| Micc | So how do I get the cool window manager like the youtube beryl videos with 7.10? Can I do that with compiz? I have compiz installed, got the cube working, but my window manager still is gnome, looks plain. | 06:53 |
| nickrud | tjmac, you can do the add/remove, or type: sudo apt-get install xchat | 06:53 |
| gary4gar | AdemoS, ever check the DOCS on the GParted website? | 06:53 |
| kote | jhford, windows version numbers dont match with linux versions | 06:53 |

| Smitius | I'm having trouble install themes that are meant for compiz. Is there a specific menu or application to configure compiz themes? | 06:54 |
| 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. | 06:54 |
| jhford | kote: i know, my card is the 8800GTS 512. It is ONLY supported in 169.07 released Dec 20 | 06:54 |
| tjmac | oh now its installing completely | 06:54 |
| nickrud | jhford, an 8800? | 06:54 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar: Well yeah, and I guess I could check the menus. But I just asked in case you knew off hand which menu to look for, etc. | 06:54 |
| jhford | nickrud 8800GTS512 | 06:54 |
| wibou | Christian : hmmm strange, we have almost the same repo but I do get lic6-xen in the list... I assume you ran "apt-get update" first? | 06:55 |
| nickrud | jhford, yes you can't use the ubuntu nvidia driver, you have to get the one from the nvidia site | 06:55 |
| gary4gar | AdemoS, the utility is easy enough for anyone to use | 06:55 |
| jhford | nickrud: yep, i have them working, but there seems to be a bug in the fan control | 06:55 |
| nickrud | jhford, then talk to nvidia ;( | 06:55 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar: Alright, I'll give it a try. Thanks for your help. | 06:55 |
| jhford | :( and i had to remove displayconfig-gtk for it to work properly :( | 06:55 |
| tjmac | now xchat is installed through terminal | 06:55 |
| jhford | nickrud: yep, i just found that thread while i was in here | 06:55 |
| tjmac | but its not on the internet tab | 06:56 |

| sloanesky | anyone know how I can fix it so ubuntu will boot automatically? I tried to install windows, and it froze after the first reboot and now when I try to boot up it says boot failed strike f1 to retry or f2 to enter setup | 06:57 |
| Christian | wibou: oh, it's gusty. It's not possible for dapper? Because it's openxchange, and I don't want upgrade it. | 06:58 |
| wibou | Ok, last try : Anyone here could answer a very deep question about Kernel recompilation? :) | 06:58 |
| PurpZeY | !grub | sloanesky | 06:58 |

| jhford | i hate closed source drivers :@ | 06:58 |
| wibou | Christian : oh ok... well I really can't say. I guess you might have to upgrade distro but I really don't know for sure now. | 06:59 |
| nickrud | jhford, heh, if it was the nv driver, you'd be complaining about lazy open source developers ;P | 06:59 |
| mkquist | hey all, anyone know about dvd playback? | 06:59 |
| wibou | jhford : nv not working? I know nv sucks, but some people actually use this stuff :P | 06:59 |
| tjmac | so if the program is now installed and the where is command says its under bin than where do I find that | 06:59 |

| nickrud | tjmac, click the menu button a couple of times, if it doesn't show up, type: killall gnome-panel , then check again after the panel restarts | 06:59 |
| nickrud | jhford, just a joke, I'm running the latest ati myself and pray every time I start up | 07:00 |
| jhford | also displayconfig-gtk really should allow you to select the 'nvidia' driver even if you haven't installed it from repos | 07:00 |
| tjmac | YAY ITS THERE!!!!!!!!!! | 07:00 |
| jhford | nickrud: i went through the ATI thing recently | 07:00 |
| wibou | jhford : hmmm I think nv can do openGL with mesa stuff, but of course, it's like twice the performance you might have with nvidia proprietary stuff | 07:01 |
| jhford | nickrud, it took 6 months just to have half working 2d with my X1800XT | 07:01 |
| nickrud | jhford, I don't know how much the 'opening' of the driver had to do with it, but I get good speed on my lowly 200m and suspend now | 07:01 |
| tjmac | now how do I find if Ubuntu is installed correctly or not. | 07:01 |
| jhford | i just find that open drivers which are maintained are soo much better than closed ones | 07:01 |
| jhford | they JustWork(TM) | 07:01 |
| doyle_ | problem; nvidia PX880gt.. works with nv drivers, restricted drivers manager doesn't recognise it. Manually apt-get installing nvidia-glx-new and changing xorg.conf to use nvidia hasn't worked either. suggestions? | 07:01 |

| PurpZeY | tjmac: Come back as needed...=) | 07:10 |
| tjmac | When I boot back into my mac, was is the key that I hold down that lets me choose which operating system I would like to use? | 07:10 |
| gary4gar | Disastro, check bug 153319 | 07:11 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: I'm not sure how that works with macs...with windows machines grub creates a bootloader that gives you a choice....I'd guess apple key or tab | 07:11 |
| PurpZeY | but that's a total guess | 07:11 |
| gary4gar | !bug #153319 | 07:11 |
| Disastro | does opera and swiftweasel take less cpu than firefox? | 07:11 |
| Disastro | found it | 07:12 |
| bcasava1 | Maybe the third time's the charm. Matrox G550, xorg, and UbuntuStudio 7.10. Using "vesa" driver, everything comes up fine. Using "mga" driver, I only get a black screen. DVI output to a Samsung SyncMaster 930B flatpanel. When using mga, X reports "(EE) MGA(0): [agp] AGP not available | 07:12 |
| gary4gar | Disastro, this is the bug link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker/ +bug/153319 | 07:12 |
| PurpZeY | bcasava1: Sounds like that's the wrong driver | 07:13 |
| bcasava1 | PurpZeY. Nope, it's the right driver. "mga" driver works fine under FreeBSD 6.2. Googling this gets some nonsense about agpgart, but rmmod'ing the entire agp, drm, and mga kernel module stack then reloading does no good. | 07:14 |
| kbdman | I LOVE UBUNTU! | 07:15 |

| penos | if you keep your monitoring activities a secret | 07:16 |
| * MTeck is back | 07:16 | |

| bcasava1 | gary4gar: tnx. I'll give it a try. | 07:17 |

| function1 | does esd block out simple alsa output? | 07:30 |
| tjmac | how is everyon highlighting my name in a respose on here? | 07:30 |
| gary4gar | user11_011, then you could do it via samba | 07:30 |
| gary4gar | !samba | 07:30 |
| ubotu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 07:30 |

| gary4gar | leagris, why you want to do that? | 07:31 |
| tjmac | musashi: how do I boot into Ubuntu when I turn on my mac? | 07:31 |
| user11_011 | gary4gar: right . i have mounted it on my /media/cdrom/192.168.x.x/... but i need to make an entry in sources.list so that apt-get recognises it. i tried with deb:cdrom[cdrom_label]/ but didnt work | 07:32 |
| musashi | hold the ctrl or alt key. i forget which as i almost never use it | 07:32 |
| ruby | h...... | 07:32 |
| tjmac | see , i do that and nothing happens | 07:32 |
| ruby | oh..... | 07:32 |
| tjmac | is there a way that I can check on my hard drive that it is installed> | 07:33 |
| musashi | tjmac, hold it when you first start | 07:33 |
| gary4gar | user11_011,read man apt-cdrom | 07:33 |
| tjmac | because i went through the install, and it said it installed | 07:33 |
| musashi | tjmac, did you use boot camp to make the "windows" partition and then install ubuntu? | 07:33 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: If you went through the install and all that. . . | 07:33 |
| tjmac | so I hold down the option key when it first starts | 07:33 |
| function1 | does anyone here use puredata? | 07:33 |
| musashi | tjmac, one of them. sorry i don't remember which | 07:33 |
| tjmac | yes I did musashi | 07:33 |
| AdemoS | ...well, I'll try ext3 instead of ex2, but I can't seem to find a reliable guide for such a simple task | 07:33 |
| === lymeca_ is now known as lymeca | ||
| gary4gar | Ademan, is it a new HDD? | 07:34 |
| musashi | tjmac, then one of those keys should open the boot camp menu and let you select ubuntu (although it's called "windows") | 07:34 |
| gary4gar | AdemoS, is it a new HDD? | 07:34 |
| jhford | how do i add another workspace to gnome, i seem to have forgotten hoe | 07:34 |
| jhford | *how | 07:34 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: I think that's the issue, "windows" is ubuntu | 07:34 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar: Yes | 07:34 |
| tjmac | ok so should I hold down the key and keep it pressed before I turn on the computer, or right after? | 07:35 |
| gary4gar | AdemoS, which company? | 07:35 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, Seagate | 07:35 |
| musashi | tjmac, right after but hold until you see the menu | 07:35 |
| gary4gar | AdemoS, try this perhaps: http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=DiscWizard&vgnextoid=d9fd4a3cdde5c010VgnVCM100000dd04090aRCRD | 07:36 |
| tjmac | okay im going to give it a try, will be right back | 07:36 |
| PurpZeY | musashi: I don't think he caught the "windows" is ubuntu bit | 07:36 |
| tuntun | user11_011: i'm assuming you've tried synaptic>settings>repositories>third-party-software>add | 07:36 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, Only has Windows and Mac, I was hoping for a Linux guide because I'm trying to get away from both of those platforms | 07:37 |
| musashi | PurpZeY, no. maybe not. we'll see | 07:37 |
| gary4gar | Ademan, see if there a bootable tool | 07:37 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, well, gparted works fine, I just don't know which filesystem to use for basic storage | 07:38 |
| tjmac | nope didnt happe | 07:38 |
| tjmac | n | 07:38 |
| gary4gar | AdemoS, ext3? | 07:38 |
| user11_011 | tuntun: not at all . it still expects a disk on local machine. i did a smbmount onto /media/cdrom and got it but even apt-cdrom not able to add it | 07:38 |
| musashi | tjmac, did anything happen? which key did you use | 07:38 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, Trying that now | 07:38 |
| tjmac | my manual for boot camp says to use option, but nothing happened | 07:38 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: Did you try selecting "windows"? | 07:38 |
| tjmac | it didnt even come up as an option | 07:39 |
| PurpZeY | tjmac: try alt, try ctrl | 07:39 |
| gary4gar | AdemoS, infact ext2+ journals support = ext3 | 07:39 |
| musashi | tjmac, so you held the "right" button for a long time and OSX just booted? | 07:39 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, it finished formating to ext3, but now it's no longer listed in Computer. Should I reboot first? | 07:40 |
| musashi | tjmac, yeah, i just don't remember which one. i was always trying several before i got it. didn't use it enough to remember. | 07:40 |
| tuntun | user11_011: well you can make an iso of your the repos with APTonCD and transfer it to the other computer and then use APTonCD again to add it as a source | 07:40 |
| tjmac | yup thats what happened | 07:40 |
| gary4gar | Ademan, do a sudo moun -a | 07:40 |
| gary4gar | Ademan, do a sudo mount -a | 07:40 |
| musashi | tjmac, are you sure you are using the "correct" button? try them all. one of 'em should work. | 07:40 |

| user11_011 | tuntun: lets take a simple example of a line in sources.list . "deb cdrom:[ubuntu_cd_label] gutsy main" i just need a remote cdrom . is there no way i can point to it | 07:46 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, command inputed, gedit open. Now where do I get the entry, and where do I put it? | 07:46 |
| gary4gar | Ademan, you can use UUID | 07:47 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, oooh I think I figured it out | 07:47 |
| gary4gar | !UUID | 07:47 |
| ubotu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 07:47 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, Hmm, guess I was wrong. I see the UUID in the config file, but I don't know where to get the new UUID from | 07:48 |
| gary4gar | Ademan, sudo blkid | 07:48 |
| tuntun | user11_011: I'm no expert with the repos, but some problems should and shouldn't be persued thru irc -- i would be confidant that you would get the answer with a bit, or alot, of googling, because your problem is relatively esoteric. | 07:49 |
| Christian | !torrents | 07:49 |

| AdemoS | gary4gar, do I need any other info? the other two entries (hard disk and optical) have more in that file | 07:50 |
| gary4gar | Ademan, it should look like | 07:52 |
| gary4gar | # /dev/sda7 | 07:52 |
| gary4gar | UUID=7b52584b-f68b-4902-b8cd-f6628e8de078 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 | 07:52 |
| gary4gar | AdemoS, just change the UUID & mount point | 07:52 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, thanks, though my UUID output was different, I'll use yours. Mount point? | 07:53 |
| makuseru | what will open a .xls file? | 07:53 |
| gary4gar | Ademan, no, use the UUID given by your system, | 07:53 |
| Myrtti | nalioth: gnumeric might, openoffice calc most definitely will | 07:54 |
| * tuntun senses trouble with words like "my UUID output was different, I'll use yours" | 07:54 | |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, my system game me | 07:54 |
| AdemoS | UUID="82921fe9-2225-4540-a36a-61d1c350d17b" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" | 07:54 |
| AdemoS | *gave | 07:54 |
| gary4gar | Ademan, mount point = the location where you want the drive to me, like /media/newhdd | 07:54 |
| Myrtti | erm | 07:54 |
| AdemoS | gary4gar, okay, how do I set that up? | 07:54 |

| fotoflo | hmm ive just installed ubuntu but i cant use elm or pine | 07:55 |
| fotoflo | apt-get cant install them either | 07:55 |
| gary4gar | Ademan, create a folder, like mkdir /media/<anyname> | 07:55 |
| Myrtti | fotoflo: pine isn't floss, so it's not installable by default | 07:55 |
| musashi | AdemoS, sorry to but in, but make sure you use the UUID for YOUR system. not someone elses. it's a unique identifier. | 07:55 |

Any help? | 07:56 |
| dman | using the server method | 07:56 |
| Myrtti | dman: fully depends on what you've done between installing 7.04 and now | 07:57 |
| musashi | AdemoS, i missed it but if it's an ugly long number then it's probably right | 07:57 |
| AdemoS | UUID="82921fe9-2225-4540-a36a-61d1c350d17b" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" | 07:57 |

| musashi | AdemoS, yeah, like that | 07:57 |

| skwi | i search a tools like inotofy/dnotify to know when a software/script is execute in a directory || when i use dnotify -A ... if i do sh script.sh everything is allright count++ , but when i use ./script.sh or script.sh i have count+=3 | 08:25 |

| rake | scguy318: Aha, no you were right, I uncommented the universal security lines at the very end, wrong thing. It's working now that I uncommented the right thing. | 08:26 |
| rake | scguy318: so what's the idea behind restricting certain software from users? To keep the source lists smaller? | 08:26 |
| norv | WEW: no, some archiver might have a gui and 7zip support but I doubt it. there /is/ a 7zip ioslave, but that requires KDE and Konqueror | 08:26 |
| erb_ | When I try to wget some URLs (like http://google.com), it doesn't download the images, etc - it only downloads the html. I am using the command: 'wget -r 1 -p -nH -nd -Ptest "http://google.com"'. Here is my output: http://pastebin.com/d2c221032 | 08:27 |

| AdemoS | in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3907715&postcount=3 | 08:30 |

| WEW | norv okay, thanks :) | 08:30 |
| user11_011 | my sources.list looks only for i386 packages (i have a generic installed on 64 bit amd). Now i need to install a 64 bit kernel for installing a vmware server .how do i accomplish that. | 08:30 |
| nickrud | WEW, I think file-roller supports zip; anyway xarchive does , if you have p7zip-fill installed iirc | 08:30 |
| WEW | nickrud I need for .rar files, not .zip | 08:31 |
| nickrud | WEW, er, that was 7zip with file-roller | 08:31 |
| WEW | okay | 08:31 |
| LuCypher | user11_011 : do you have linux-image-generic? | 08:31 |
| WEW | I'll try that too | 08:31 |
| user11_011 | LuCypher: yes | 08:31 |
| Gate_Laptop | erb_: hm, I didn't know about the -r option. maybe try dropping the -nH? | 08:31 |
| norv | WEW: oh, i thought you like needed 7zip for 7zip.. heh | 08:31 |
| nickrud | WEW, then install unrar , file-roller will use it also | 08:31 |
| LuCypher | I think is enough for you | 08:31 |
| WEW | norv: No, i searched for rar in add/remove programs, and 7zip showed up | 08:32 |
| LuCypher | How can I set iptables to quiet mode? | 08:32 |
| dman | if im using 7.04 can i use 7.10 in my apt sources and just upgrade some packages? | 08:32 |
| nickrud | WEW, you should probably explore system->admin->synaptic , it references more software than add/remove | 08:32 |
| AdemoS | trying a reboot now | 08:33 |
| AmbienNOD | is there a way in the konsole to output some statistics on sent and recieved data over the network | 08:33 |

| rkj | Hey quick question: If I have an ipod that shows up in Nautilus in 'Places' as IPOD, what's the command line to unmount it? I tried just "umount IPOD" and got an error "IPOD is not mounter (according to mtab)" | 08:34 |
| WEW | nickrud: Okay, that's archive manager.. I need something else. It shows an error in some rar files | 08:34 |
| th0r | AmbienNOD that information is available through snmp, but it is not a simple process | 08:34 |
| Jowi | makuseru, VNC is the standard way | 08:34 |
| Jowi | !vnc | makuseru | 08:34 |
| ubotu | makuseru: 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 | 08:34 |
| Smegzo1 | My entire computer (ubuntu 64) keeps freezing up solid (hard reboot required) when I try to copy 8Gb of files from my file server to the pc that freezes. The network share I am copying from is an nfs share. It's done it twice in a row and both times it did it at 36% copied. What could be causing this? | 08:34 |
| nickrud | WEW, have you installed unrar yet? | 08:34 |
| WEW | nickrud yes | 08:34 |
| nickrud | WEW, ah, then try the p7zip-full | 08:34 |
| nickrud | WEW, or rar e <file> | 08:35 |
| CrackOrcad | if I execute an app with nohup command , after servers' restart that would run? | 08:35 |
| user11_011 | i tried installing vmware ( 64 bit ) on my generic gutsy but when i type "vmware" it says to type man vmware for more information. | 08:35 |
| WEW | nickrud they are .r01 .r02 .r03 etc | 08:35 |
| norv | WEW: oh, partials | 08:36 |
| nickrud | user11_011, try adding deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner to /etc/apt/sources.list , then installing vmware from the repos. | 08:36 |
| WEW | yeah, though normally they work in archive manager, some files don't | 08:36 |
| Jowi | WEW, you need the nonfree unrar and then extract with "unrar x file.rar" | 08:36 |
| rkj | It's a really easy question for somebody who knows what they're doing. | 08:36 |
| Gate_Laptop | CrackOrcad: no, you would need to add a boot script for it to do that | 08:37 |

| CrackOrcad | Gate_laptop can you give me an script for that? | 08:37 |
| th0r | rkj umount /media/IPOD | 08:37 |
| Gate_Laptop | CrackOrcad: the easiest way to do it is to add the command to rc.local | 08:38 |
| th0r | rkj you need to sudo it or run it as root | 08:38 |
| CrackOrcad | is this what apache and some other application does? | 08:38 |
| Gate_Laptop | CrackOrcad: do "sudo gedit /etc/rc.local" | 08:38 |
| rkj | th0r thanks for the ubuntu! I feel more human already. | 08:38 |
| AmbienNOD | do they make a ubuntu dvd? | 08:38 |
| Gate_Laptop | no, apache does it in the proper way, but that is more complex and I would have to look it up | 08:38 |
| Gate_Laptop | rc.local is a script that gets run when the system finishes booting | 08:39 |
| Conny | Hello. | 08:39 |
| gpm | hi | 08:39 |
| _mug | morning | 08:40 |
| Gate_Laptop | CrackOrcad: what apache does is adds itself to the boot levels (/etc/rc0 [...] /etc/rc6) and a starter script in /etc/init.d/ | 08:40 |
| keram | anyone know what the designated values of the d_type member of struct dirent are? | 08:40 |
| Conny | Are there differences of "makefile" in ubuntu and kubuntu? | 08:40 |
| Conny | I never made a "makefile" operation of a sourcecode. | 08:41 |
| Gate_Laptop | Conny: no | 08:41 |
| norv | Conny: all "Makefile"s are run by make so no | 08:41 |
| CrackOrcad | gate_laptop so make such application is so complicated:D | 08:41 |
| _mug | gutsy has a folder called "public" ("öffentlich" in german, i hope i translated it correctly) in each homedir. what is it for? is it automaticcaly shared if sambe or nfs is installed? or for www? | 08:41 |
| Gate_Laptop | CrackOrcad: not neccecarily, but I have only done it once, long ago | 08:41 |
| CrackOrcad | that is so easy in windows | 08:41 |
| Gate_Laptop | CrackOrcad: I am trying to look up how to do it now, but like I said, rc.local is the easy way to remember | 08:41 |
| Conny | ok | 08:42 |
| imaginator | keram: see the dirent.h header file. they all have a DT_ prefix | 08:42 |
| imaginator | oops too late | 08:42 |
| Gate_Laptop | CrackOrcad: if you don't mind wasting a server's resources with a GUI you can make alot of things into buttons :) | 08:42 |
| th0r | _mug if you are talking about public_html it is the default directory for the website www.hostname/username | 08:42 |
| CrackOrcad | :)) ha haha , when sessions are close no GUI is run | 08:43 |
| Smegzo1 | Does anyone know what might cause a simple network file copy to lock up the entire pc? | 08:43 |
| AmbienNOD | i will not ever upgrade or go back to windows, you know it even defrags in the background now | 08:43 |
| AmbienNOD | how annoying is that | 08:43 |
| imaginator | Smegzo1: most likely a bad driver, or a broken file system (that is full) | 08:43 |
| Gate_Laptop | CrackOrcad: the boot levels route adds alot of power, since the kernel can be told to start different ways it picks which runlevel to execute | 08:44 |
| imaginator | Smegzo1: or bad hardware | 08:44 |
| ahaswell | AmbienNOD: that's the beauty of linux - you can choose what happens and when :) | 08:44 |
| Gate_Laptop | so if a computer is booted into rescue (single user mode) it won't start something like apache or some such | 08:44 |
| Smegzo1 | 8.5gig free and 65gig free. probably not full then | 08:44 |
| norv | Well, ext3 defragments while live, right? | 08:44 |
| AmbienNOD | think of this you a buy a high speed computer and goto play a game and the dam thing stalls, you have to goto services and shutdown half of the 150 services that are running, now you think a kid is going to know how to do that? | 08:44 |
| CrackOrcad | you code set those stuff in windows aswell | 08:44 |
| CrackOrcad | code = can | 08:44 |
| Smegzo1 | hmm.. well its never done this before today and all the hardware is new (1 month old) though that doesn't mean it can't be bad. | 08:45 |
| imaginator | Smegzo1: do you see any messages in your dmesg? | 08:45 |
| Jowi | norv, ext3 does not need to defrag | 08:45 |
| Sonja | _mug there is also #ubuntu-de | 08:45 |
| AmbienNOD | only think that looks different anyway is the start button is round | 08:45 |
| Gate_Laptop | CrackOrcad: I am not suprised in the least, it just makes sense :) | 08:45 |
| Smegzo1 | haven't looked. i'm an ex-windows user so i might need to be told where to look. | 08:45 |
| CrackOrcad | whatever | 08:46 |
| imaginator | norv: ext3 has better algorithms than say NTFS, so it coallesces disk blocks automatically when possible at the cost of some write speed. NTFS is much lazier about it. | 08:46 |
| AmbienNOD | people are starting to like mac anyway too and after this i definitly believe people will be using mac and linux more often | 08:46 |
| Conny | In what folder should I "make" files? | 08:47 |
| Gate_Laptop | CrackOrcad: you may find this informative http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Runlevels | 08:47 |
| scguy318 | rake: a bit late but to restrict the sorts of software a user wants | 08:47 |
| AmbienNOD | micosoft should just get out of the os market and just make microsoft office products. | 08:47 |
| th0r | Conny the folder that contains the Makefile | 08:47 |
| CrackOrcad | ambienNod not most of peoples (94%) using windows | 08:47 |
| scguy318 | AmbienNOD: not even that :P | 08:47 |
| Pie-rat2 | anyone have any information on the G15 keyboard and available apps for its LCD? | 08:47 |
| CrackOrcad | Gate_laptop thanks for your info | 08:47 |

| Learning-Ubuntu | CrackOrcad, Vista for some odd reason doesnt work on my system and I care less to troubleshoot it since i can get the same things I do on Vista in Ubuntu anyway. | 08:51 |
| AdemoS | Microsoft-Fans, as much as that's flame bait, I'll reply. Vista does not have those problems, it has a wide variety of it's own though. I'm much happier learning Linux then dealing with Microsoft's DRM | 08:51 |
| th0r | please don't feed the trolls | 08:51 |

| th0r | AdemoS they are set in fstab normally, but for usb drives I am not sure where they are stored. | 08:53 |
| Microsoft-Fans | haha yeah that is why novell wrote an edition of its framework for linux (mono) | 08:53 |
| norv | And Java == NyQuill | 08:53 |

| scguy318 | anson: you probably should see the Wine AppDb at http://appdb.winehq.org | 09:05 |
| scguy318 | rake: I wouldn't unfortunately | 09:05 |
| Gate_Laptop | th0r: I said you suggested a reasonable and correct course of action, <insert generic ego stroke here> | 09:05 |
| Sp4rKy | scguy318: thanks | 09:05 |
| imaginator | steven_: another option might be amixer | 09:05 |
| Sp4rKy | other people ? | 09:05 |
| AdemoS | th0r: haha, I admit you were right also, I just wanted to try the help in order | 09:05 |
| steven_ | i tried installing alsamixer, but cant get it to work, i tried "sudo apt-get alsamixergui" but it says "E: Invalid operation alsamixergui" | 09:06 |
| scguy318 | steven_: you need to write sudo apt-get install alsamixergui | 09:06 |
| steven_ | ah knew i was forgeting somthing ... lol | 09:06 |
| tkooda | upgrading to gusty broke my intel audio. I've tried compiling numerous versions of the alsa modules manually, and even my own 2.6.22.9 kernel, but to no avail.. -can anyone tell me what I need to do to get my audio back on my (intel 82801G; ICH7 Family; snd-intel8x0(m?)) laptop? | 09:06 |
| sthustfo | hi everyone | 09:07 |
| th0r | AdemoS you might change 'defaults' for sdb1 to 'user,exec' and see if that gets you anywhere, but I doubt it will be the final answer | 09:07 |
| AdemoS | th0r: After which should I restart or mount -a? | 09:07 |
| nomego | heya guys, how can I get f-spot 0.4.1 for ubuntu gutsy? | 09:07 |
| nomego | is there a source-package somewhere I can built? | 09:08 |
| th0r | AdemoS I think you will just have to umount and mount /dev/sdb1...we ARE talking about sdb1, right? that is the drive you are workig with | 09:08 |
| nomego | build | 09:08 |
| th0r | ? | 09:08 |
| scguy318 | nomego: you'll probably have to find a tarball to make | 09:08 |
| scguy318 | nomego: sec | 09:08 |
| AdemoS | th0r: correct | 09:08 |
| steven_ | scguy318 k thx that worked | 09:08 |
| scguy318 | nomego: http://ftp.gnome.org/Public/GNOME/sources/f-spot/0.4/f-spot-0.4.1.tar.bz2 | 09:08 |
| scguy318 | !make | nomego | 09:08 |
| ubotu | nomego: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 09:08 |
| th0r | AdemoS yeah...'sudo umount /dev/sdb1' then 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1' should get you the new options | 09:09 |
| steven_ | imaginator ok i have it now, i dont know where the setting is tho, i have like a million channels... idk why | 09:09 |
| th0r | AdemoS and if this works I will quit while I am ahead | 09:09 |
| AdemoS | th0r: haha you knew me well | 09:09 |
| nomego | scguy318: yeah I know how to compile from source, just thought that "apt-get source -b" or similar had extra instructions? | 09:10 |
| nomego | scguy318: a "special" source packagE? | 09:10 |
| AdemoS | th0r: Device is busy? >_< | 09:10 |
| AdemoS | I'll reboot | 09:10 |
| scguy318 | nomego: special? | 09:10 |
| imaginator | steven_: same here. It's complex, but basically if you toggle aux from what I recall these red lights will turn on on the GUI, and your mike won't be active all the time. | 09:10 |
| AdemoS | brb guys, if you can stick around I'd appericate it | 09:10 |
| th0r | AdemoS you have to close nautilus so it isn't accessing the drive | 09:11 |
| nomego | scguy318: yeah, so apt/dpkg knows how to build it and if any patches should be applied, etc | 09:11 |
| imaginator | steven_: err mike/mic | 09:11 |
| th0r | AdemoS that should have been 'users,exec' not 'user' | 09:12 |
| steven_ | imaginator well il figure something out.. ty for ur help | 09:12 |
| AdemoS | gaaah, still no permission | 09:12 |
| shownowon | tkooda: when upgrading from feisty to gutsy...i experienced the same thing w/my asus p5b intel duo setup.... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 09:12 |
| imaginator | steven_: you're welcome. I wish I knew of a better way. alsa is very complex (perhaps overly), but it's better than what it replaced I think. It's nice not having to deal with dualing sound daemons. :) | 09:13 |
| AdemoS | th0r Gate_Laptop any other ideas? | 09:13 |
| scguy318 | nomego: mm, dunno about that unfortunately | 09:13 |
| Gate_Laptop | AdemoS: I know of a dirty hack that will work, but it is a bad plan. give me a minute to think up the right way to do it | 09:14 |
| steven_ | is there any way to get true SB drivers on ubuntu? (i know, im stupid for asking...) | 09:14 |
| th0r | AdemoS did you see my note about 'users' instead of 'user'? | 09:14 |
| AdemoS | th0r: >_< no | 09:15 |
| imaginator | AdemoS: is your problem that you can't mount and umount the disk, or that you can't write files to it now? | 09:15 |
| AdemoS | Gate_Laptop, I hate to bring up BILL gates, but "dirty hacks" reminded me of.... | 09:15 |
| Gate_Laptop | AdemoS: NO! BAD! | 09:15 |
| AdemoS | imaginator, I can't write files | 09:15 |
| th0r | AdemoS try this for an option....'users,gid=users' | 09:15 |
| AdemoS | th0r alright | 09:16 |
| th0r | AdemoS the options are explained in 'man mount' under the Options section...under '-o' | 09:16 |
| Gate_Laptop | AdemoS: looks like th0r is taking you in a proper direction :) | 09:16 |
| AdemoS | th0r: haha, alright, let me know if they ever put in a woman mount.....sorry I couldn't resist | 09:16 |
| th0r | Gate_Laptop careful...I will come to expect it <smile> | 09:16 |
| AdemoS | Gate_Laptop, ah | 09:16 |
| imaginator | AdemoS: where are you mounting it, and what are the permissions of the directory where you're mounting it according to ls -l? | 09:17 |
| Gate_Laptop | hehe | 09:17 |
| AdemoS | imaginator, mounting in /media/storage | 09:17 |
| th0r | AdemoS and did you see my comment about shutting down nautilus? you need to shut down anything that is using that drive before you can umount it | 09:17 |
| AdemoS | th0r: how do I shut down the file manager? | 09:18 |
| Gate_Laptop | AdemoS: if *all* else fails, you can add yourself to the disks users group | 09:18 |
| th0r | AdemoS just close it...or move it so it isn't looking in that drive anymore | 09:18 |
| AdemoS | Gate_Laptop, well I'll try the current concept next | 09:18 |
| th0r | AdemoS change to another directory not on that drive | 09:18 |
| ubuntu | the live PPC cd ubuntu 7.10 zont boot is there q sqfe mode to boot | 09:19 |
| kbdman | is it true about the 8.10 version??? | 09:20 |
| Gate_Laptop | ubuntu is it a liveCD? try the alternate. What error does it give? | 09:20 |
| th0r | kbdman that it will have a psychic interface that doesn't require a keyboard? yes | 09:20 |
| imaginator | AdemoS: who do you want to be able to write to the disk? | 09:21 |
| kbdman | th0r: cool! | 09:21 |

| walllieballie | HI | 09:21 |
| walllieballie | on the panel | 09:21 |
| walllieballie | where open applications are shown | 09:21 |
| imaginator | AdemoS: sudo chmod a+w /media/storage ; sudo chgrp users /media/storage should work | 09:21 |
| walllieballie | is it possible to stop applications from grouping? | 09:21 |
| walllieballie | and drag it up so it's twice as big, so more stuff can fit on it? | 09:22 |
| walllieballie | hell | 09:22 |
| walllieballie | oo | 09:22 |
| walllieballie | is anyone here | 09:22 |
| Gate_Laptop | walllieballie: be patient :) | 09:22 |
| walllieballie | what | 09:22 |
| walllieballie | fowr | 09:22 |
| Gate_Laptop | if you right click on the applications button you can edit the menus | 09:22 |
| imaginator | walllieballie: I seem to recall there is an option for the panel. Have you right-clicked on the panel to see? | 09:22 |
| AdemoS | ahaaaa | 09:22 |
| AdemoS | imaginator, that worked great | 09:23 |
| AdemoS | th0r: I couldn't close nat in time : / | 09:23 |
| Gate_Laptop | see! I told you there was a right way AdemoS! | 09:23 |
| walllieballie | yes i have! | 09:23 |
| walllieballie | THERE IS NOt an option like that :> | 09:23 |
| AdemoS | Gate_Laptop, indeed! I applogize for mentioning the un-mentionable! | 09:23 |

| Gate_Laptop | really? | 09:24 |
| imaginator | yes | 09:24 |
| Gate_Laptop | huh, cool | 09:24 |
| AdemoS | oooh | 09:24 |
| AdemoS | I wanna test that but | 09:24 |
| AdemoS | first | 09:24 |
| AdemoS | gonna save all these commands | 09:24 |
| Gate_Laptop | i see, the directory is permanent and will keep the settings, won't it..... | 09:25 |

| walllieballie | hey Smegzo1 | 09:25 |
| walllieballie | how about u butt out! | 09:25 |
| th0r | imaginator take a cookie out of petty cash for the answer of least resistance | 09:25 |
| Smegzo1 | you must be new =) | 09:26 |
| Gate_Laptop | hahaha | 09:26 |
| walllieballie | hey | 09:26 |
| walllieballie | hey | 09:26 |

| Smegzo1 | there are 1,119 people here and all of them are allowed to talk | 09:26 |
| imaginator | Smegzo1: you can use dmesg or /proc/irq to find the irq for a device IIRC | 09:26 |
| * AdemoS tests just in case | 09:26 | |

| ozzloy | please help | 09:28 |
| scguy318 | why not? | 09:28 |
| Myrtti | so I was considering doing an rsync - nfs based system to keep my laptop and desktop in sync with each other | 09:28 |
| Sonja | use exaile | 09:28 |
| Sonja | it's gnomey | 09:28 |
| Sonja | for ubuntologists | 09:28 |
| ozzloy | i type "amarok" and wait, takes a long time, nothing in terminal | 09:28 |
| th0r | ozzloy open a terminal, type 'amarok' and see if you get an error message | 09:28 |
| Gate_Laptop | Myrtti: Thanks! I was getting worried :) | 09:29 |
| ozzloy | er... "amarok<enter> | 09:29 |
| ozzloy | " | 09:29 |
| Sonja | i thought exaile was more ubuntu-friendly than amarok | 09:29 |
| th0r | ozzloy does it eventually come back to the command prompt? | 09:29 |
| ozzloy | th0r: nope, haven't waited longer than 5 minutes, which is waay longer than normal | 09:29 |
| jimmio | Hello, I'm attempting to follow a tutorial on SDL and OpenGL game creation and I'm getting an undefined reference compile error on all GL commands, anyone here able to help? | 09:29 |
| wols | jimmio: you're missing the proper library | 09:30 |
| scguy318 | jimmio: I dunno how it works on gcc and stuff, but you probably need to add references to the OpenGL libs in your linker | 09:30 |
| imaginator | ozzloy: try running strace amarok that should tell you what syscall it's stuck in, unless it's somehow into an endless loop (in which case it will showup in top using a lot of CPU) | 09:30 |
| shownowon | ozzloy: try typing | sudo amarok | 09:30 |
| wols | compile/link with it and all will be well | 09:30 |

| tonyyarusso | anyone know a way that I could define a system alias such that when I type in "wp" in my browser, it actually goes to en.wikipedia.org ? | 09:32 |
| Hemebond | For firefox? | 09:32 |
| Hemebond | Create a bookmark. | 09:32 |
| AdemoS | gaah so close | 09:33 |
| AdemoS | EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "gid=100" or missing value | 09:33 |
| Hemebond | Enter in wp as the keyword. | 09:33 |
| wols | tonyyarusso: put it in /etc/hosts or something | 09:33 |
| ozzloy | shownowon: sudo strace amarok shows an infinite loop of some sort | 09:33 |
| tonyyarusso | wols: how? I tried what I thought would work in there, but nothing changed | 09:33 |
| cptR3D | !mce | 09:33 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mce - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:33 |

| th0r | tonyyarusso in the file ~/.alias add the following line | 09:33 |
| AdemoS | wols: Set it to default then? | 09:33 |
| Smegzo1 | hmm.. well I haven't found anything responsible for freezing my pc while doing a network file copy, but I'm going to see how it handles a 4 gig single file transfer. I bet i crash. | 09:33 |
| imaginator | AdemoS: I don't think you want gid=1000 | 09:33 |
| imaginator | that's for adfs and some others, not ext3 | 09:33 |
| shownowon | ozzloy: r u running under kde or gnome | 09:34 |
| |newbie| | hola | 09:34 |
| wols | AdemoS: no gid option at all | 09:34 |

| jimmio | I was hoping to use CodeBlocks C/C++ IDE still... what might I do to get it working with the IDE? | 09:34 |
| stupidgirl | i want to make a folder where they can all access and change files | 09:34 |
| |newbie| | alguen escribe en español | 09:34 |
| tonyyarusso | th0r: No, that would make a bash command alias - I want a host alias. | 09:34 |
| stupidgirl | how to do this in ubuntu 7.10, best way? | 09:34 |
| AdemoS | imaginator, didn't use 1000 --- /dev/sdb1 /media/storage ext3 user,gid=users 0 2 | 09:34 |
| |newbie| | spanish | 09:34 |
| |newbie| | ??? | 09:34 |
| Hemebond | stupidgirl: Access Control Lists | 09:34 |
| th0r | tonyyarusso add it to the file /etc/hosts | 09:34 |
| AdemoS | wols: is this better? /dev/sdb1 /media/storage ext3 user,exc 0 2 | 09:35 |
| |newbie| | nadie habla español | 09:35 |
| ozzloy | shownowon: gnome | 09:35 |
| shownowon | ozzloy: ahhh...amarok is a kde app | 09:35 |
| ozzloy | shownowon: yeah, i know | 09:35 |
| ozzloy | shownowon: i run it all the time. have the libraries | 09:35 |
| stupidgirl | Hemebond, sorry sir, i r noob, plz explain, "access control lists" | 09:35 |
| th0r | tonyyarusso you can add 'alteregos' at the end of a line like '192.168.1.2 www.myhome.net myhome wp' | 09:35 |
| Hemebond | stupidgirl: Or, just create a folder with the same permissions as /tmp | 09:35 |
| ozzloy | shownowon: just this time it's taking a long time | 09:35 |

| wols | AdemoS: what is "exc" supposed to be? | 09:36 |
| shownowon | ozzloy: i would think that ur kde install got messed up somehow...but that doesn't seem to b the answer | 09:36 |
| tonyyarusso | th0r: what if I don't want to include the IP address, just the english names? | 09:36 |
| ozzloy | k, i killall amarokapp | 09:36 |

| AdemoS | wols: or should that be "default" | 09:37 |
| wols | AdemoS: looks fine from here | 09:37 |
| th0r | tonyyarusso don't know...never wanted to do that <smile>. I think you will need an ip for /etc/hosts/ | 09:37 |
| ozzloy | imaginator: shownowon: thanks, i fixed it! | 09:37 |
| tonyyarusso | th0r: hmm, bother | 09:37 |
| imaginator | you're welcome ozzloy | 09:37 |
| wols | tonyyarusso: then you need to run your own DNS server with a cusom CNAME for "wp" | 09:37 |
| ozzloy | void^: thanks | 09:37 |
| th0r | tonyyarusso what are you trying to accomplish? | 09:37 |
| tonyyarusso | th0r: Save myself keystrokes for frequently visited web sites (that may have rotating IPs) | 09:38 |
| tonyyarusso | wols: I suppose I could do that. | 09:38 |
| AdemoS | wols: Which one is fine? exec or default? | 09:38 |
| wols | I'd use default | 09:38 |
| tonyyarusso | wols: BIND, or is something else more appropriate? | 09:38 |
| Hemebond | tonyyarusso: Goodness me, just use a Firefox keyword. | 09:39 |
| AdemoS | alright | 09:39 |
| kote | or hosts? | 09:39 |
| AdemoS | wols: reboot? | 09:39 |
| tonyyarusso | Hemebond: a who what now? (I actually use Epiphany much of the time, but still interested) | 09:39 |
| th0r | AdemoS no...just umount and mount | 09:39 |
| wols | AdemoS: why would you? | 09:39 |
| cptR3D | !linuxmce | 09:39 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about linuxmce - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:39 |
| kote | right nm missed that | 09:40 |
| Hemebond | tonyyarusso: You add a keyword to a bookmark. It's like a shorcut. For example, if I want to search Wikipedia I type: "w my search terms" | 09:40 |
| AdemoS | all: ....because mount never worked before >_> <_< sorry will do | 09:40 |
| Hemebond | tonyyarusso: Because I've set "w" as the keyword for the Wikipedia search. | 09:40 |
| tonyyarusso | Hemebond: That would be fantastic - I never knew Firefox had such a thing... | 09:40 |
| AdvoWork | hi there. is there any reason why going to my home dir and performing a ls would hang/take ages, and connecting via winscp or similar allows me to any folder apart from home, in which case it gives the errors: Error listing directory '/home'. and Error changing directory to '/home'. ? | 09:40 |
| AdemoS | ahh | 09:40 |
| AdemoS | EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "default" or missing value | 09:40 |
| Hemebond | tonyyarusso: Actually, Firefox comes with a keyword for Wikipedia already. Google too. | 09:40 |
| kote | ah cool... that keyword thing | 09:41 |

| c9s | thanks | 09:42 |
| Hemebond | c9s: What do you mean shorter? | 09:42 |
| imaginator | c9s: that looks short to me. are you doing it over a lot of files? | 09:42 |
| jimmio | I added this to the linker settings tab: -I/usr/include/GL/gl.h but it didn't change anything | 09:43 |
| Riddick | is there a package name to install all the compilers like there is for the desktop? like ubuntu-compilers? | 09:43 |
| Hemebond | Riddick: Not build-essentials? | 09:44 |
| imaginator | jimmio: you want the directory. It should work if you use -I/usr/include/GL and then your #include <gl.h> | 09:44 |
| Riddick | let me try that | 09:44 |
| scriptha_ | How do I disconnect a session from my sshd? | 09:44 |
| Hemebond | scriptha_: Exit? | 09:44 |
| imaginator | jimmio: normally #include <GL/gl.h> would work though | 09:44 |
| scriptha_ | from the server Hemebond | 09:44 |
| Hemebond | scriptha_: Oh, you mean from the server end... | 09:44 |
| zcat[1] | Riddick: b-e will give you all the stuff you typically need to start building stuff.. but probably not 'all' the compilers available.. | 09:45 |
| AdemoS | very nice | 09:45 |
| jimmio | imaginator: then there is another issue somewhere... | 09:45 |
| AdemoS | working good | 09:45 |
| Hemebond | scriptha_: restart the service? googling now. | 09:45 |
| th0r | scriptha_ you can force it to drop with 'kill -9 <pid>' | 09:45 |
| tonyyarusso | Hemebond: how did you write a url to the wikipedia search directly? | 09:45 |
| vud1 | hi all. I am working in a gnome sport application | 09:45 |
| imaginator | jimmio: is it a linking issue, or a header file issue? | 09:45 |
| th0r | scriptha_ you need to do that as root or with sudo | 09:45 |
| vud1 | and i need knows if "Accumulated Unevenness" is an english correct expression. is it? | 09:46 |
| AdemoS | the one thing is, I bought a terrbyte drive and I only have 870 GB to work with (46 GB used, 916 GB total) | 09:46 |
| Hemebond | tonyyarusso: Does Firefox not already have one? If not, go to the search box on the Wikipedia page, right-click on it and select "Add a keyword for this Search..." | 09:46 |
| scriptha_ | thanks | 09:46 |
| AdemoS | Is this huge cut in space normal? | 09:46 |
| AdemoS | Gparted says I'm using the entire drive | 09:46 |
| am0ns3t | hello. what i should do if instead the ubuntu boot screen i want see verbose mode? | 09:46 |
| HackerAlert | Can someone please help me, just 2 questions I have.. | 09:46 |
| th0r | AdemoS yeah...a 10MB drive never was 10MB either...a manufacturers game | 09:46 |
| tonyyarusso | Hemebond: Whoa. To think I've been using this for years without knowing that..... :P | 09:46 |
| th0r | AdemoS comes from considering a GB as 1000 MB instead of 1024 MB | 09:47 |
| AdemoS | th0r: Damn, well I knew it would less then 1 TB but I didn't expect this much less | 09:47 |
| HackerAlert | I'm having problems installing wine | 09:47 |
| === firstsept_ is now known as firstsept | ||
| HackerAlert | The website says to do this step first: wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - | 09:47 |
| jimmio | imaginator: it says "undefined reference to "glViewPort"" and all other GL commands... that's about all I know | 09:47 |
| th0r | AdemoS yeah well...consider the problem starts with 1KB not being 1024 B and then keeps compounding | 09:47 |
| AdemoS | Thor: haha, another scam huh? | 09:47 |
| HackerAlert | I get this error when doing that: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. | 09:48 |
| HackerAlert | So that command is not working.. =\ | 09:48 |
| HackerAlert | And next it says to do "sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list" | 09:48 |
| kraut | moin | 09:48 |
| AdemoS | Th0r: Add to that scam, this one, and you're looking at the bleak future : / http://www.againsttcpa.com/what-is-tcpa.html | 09:48 |
| th0r | AdemoS I call them habits....HAlf Baked Implementations of Technology | 09:48 |
| imaginator | AdemoS: for some reason hard disk manufacturers go by a different base than most | 09:48 |
| HackerAlert | When I do that one, I get this error.. | 09:48 |
| HackerAlert | Error parsing proxy URL http://:8080/: Invalid host name. | 09:48 |
| HackerAlert | /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list: Unsupported scheme. | 09:48 |
| imaginator | they are using powers of 10 IIRC rather than powers of 2 | 09:48 |
| am0ns3t | hello. what i should do if instead the ubuntu boot screen i want see verbose mode? | 09:49 |
| imaginator | jimmio: do you have -lgl ? | 09:49 |
| nofear | how do i play mp3's and dvds on ubuntu? | 09:49 |
| th0r | am0ns3t in /boot/grub/menu.lst change 'splash=siletn' to 'splash=verbose' | 09:49 |
| AdemoS | Okay guys, so one more question, though not a big one | 09:49 |
| th0r | am0ns3t (silent) | 09:49 |
| AdemoS | When a boot and shut down ubuntu, I don | 09:49 |
| AdemoS | t see the loading screen anymore | 09:50 |
| AdemoS | that might just be the dual core speeding along, but I wanted to make sure it was normal | 09:50 |
| am0ns3t | th0r: thanks | 09:50 |
| AdemoS | *quad core | 09:50 |
| scguy318 | HackerAlert: so your proxy configuration for wget/your system might be an issue | 09:50 |
| theCarpenter | i cant find the port i would enter into the X configuration file to use an ethernet mouse | 09:50 |
| HackerAlert | I dont have a proxy configuration :X | 09:50 |
| theCarpenter | yes, its an ethernet mouse and yes its ghetto, but its my only one :X | 09:50 |
| HackerAlert | Well I never set one up.. | 09:50 |
| HackerAlert | whoah an ethernet mouse? awesome | 09:50 |
| jimmio | imaginator: not quite sure what you mean there... the GL folder does exist and the IDE is even recognizing the parameters to be sent to the different functions | 09:51 |
| th0r | HackerAlert I think that error is saying someplace in your sources list you have a repo listed as http://:8080, missing the domain name or ip | 09:51 |
| AdemoS | guys what is "icedteajava7"? Some non-sun java? | 09:51 |
| imaginator | jimmio: you basically need a /usr/lib/libGL.so or /usr/lib/libGL.a -l will use either if it exists | 09:52 |
| imaginator | I got the case wrong before. it should be -lGL | 09:52 |
| HackerAlert | but I never set up a repo other than the default ones.. | 09:52 |
| theCarpenter | im looking at the ubuntu wiki for serial mouse configuration, but i cant find an analogue for the ethernet port | 09:52 |
| imaginator | jimmio: btw the Mesa package provides libGL if you don't have it | 09:52 |
| theCarpenter | there is no /dev/eth0 or /dev/eth1 or anything | 09:52 |
| tuntun | has anyone played flightgear? what did you think? (sceenshots here: http://www.flightgear.org/Gallery-v1.0/) | 09:53 |
| AdemoS | ooooh answered my own question http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/Main_Page | 09:53 |
| oly- | hi, i am trying to setup freetds on gutsy and want to test my connection using tsql except it does not exist, is there a package i can install for tsql ? | 09:53 |
| ikonia | oly-: tsql is normally part of a database toolkit, tsql will depend on what database you are connecting to | 09:54 |
| oly- | trying to connect to mssql, i read to install freetds and the run tsql to test | 09:55 |
| oly- | but i can not test because its not installed, so not sure what todo to get it | 09:55 |
| ikonia | oly-: well there won't be an ms-sql client designed to run on linux | 09:55 |
| oly- | well from what i have read you can using freetds | 09:55 |
| ikonia | I'm just reading up on freetds now as I've never used it | 09:55 |
| jimmio | imaginator: Thank you so much. I've got it working now. Didn't realize I needed to include the actually library... | 09:56 |
| oly- | or alternatively using odbc, but freetds sounds better and looks simpler | 09:56 |
| jimmio | actual* | 09:56 |
| imaginator | jimmio: it's more linking with the library, than including it :) | 09:56 |
| imaginator | jimmio: and you're welcome | 09:56 |
| ikonia | oly-: where did you install freetds from the ubuntu repo's or the freetds website ? | 09:56 |
| jimmio | imaginator: =) | 09:56 |
| oly- | from the repo's | 09:57 |
| nocturn | Hi all | 09:57 |
| iNeo | nocturn: Hi | 09:57 |
| nocturn | What programs can open streaming mms audio? | 09:57 |
| tarelerulz | What is if you changed the size of you swap while you where running you system ? What would happen | 09:57 |
| iNeo | nocturn: vlc | 09:57 |
| iNeo | nocturn: VLC Media Player | 09:57 |
| ikonia | oly-: ok, I think the package sqsh will contain a command line connector tool to test | 09:58 |
| nocturn | iNeo: Off course, why didn't I think of this... | 09:58 |
| iNeo | nocturn: Or Banshee | 09:58 |
| nocturn | was messing with Exaile and movie player | 09:58 |
| iNeo | nocturn: Good luck | 09:58 |
| ikonia | oly-: I can see connection libraries in the repo's but no actual ms-sql tsql client. (which I wouldn't expect) | 09:58 |
| ikonia | oly-: the only other package could be the sqlrelay-freetds package as thts a daemon that may contain a tsql client, but I don't know that | 09:59 |
| oly- | yeah i tried sqsh, but it was unhelpful it it run and returned to the console with out any error | 09:59 |
| nocturn | iNeo: Installing vlc now, thanks | 09:59 |
| MF_Debian | tarelerulz, its like saying all the names of god, the world will end, heh, nah its fine to do that | 09:59 |
| imaginator | tarelerulz: how would you do that? | 09:59 |
| oly- | okay will try that if i dont have it installed | 09:59 |
| ikonia | oly-: I can't see how there can be an MS tsql client for a linux platform to be honest. | 09:59 |
| oly- | i am not sure how it works, just found it from reading on the web the example i think was for dapper | 10:00 |
| ikonia | just got to pop for meeting | 10:00 |
| oly- | and said just install freetds | 10:00 |
| tarelerulz | MF_Debian , the reason I ask is I noticed I had some odd free space that I did not make it part of the swap . Plus could you resize you root partition while you where using it ? | 10:01 |
| gaelik | Hi everyone. | 10:01 |
| gaelik | alguien habla castellano por aqui? | 10:01 |
| tpal | hi everyone | 10:02 |
| Karyom | hi all | 10:02 |
| tpal | i have a problem, can anyone help me? | 10:03 |
| Karyom | has anybody experiences with runnun Windows on Linux as a Virtual Machine? how much Systrem resources does it need? | 10:03 |
| AdemoS | hmm | 10:03 |
| Hemebond | Karyom: It all depends on how much resources you give it. | 10:03 |
| AdemoS | everytime I try to run Azureus it crashes | 10:03 |
| AdemoS | any ideas? | 10:03 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: It does that. | 10:03 |
| AdemoS | should I dump javaicedtea? | 10:03 |
| AdemoS | because with sunjava I never had that issue | 10:03 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: Use something else. | 10:03 |
| AdemoS | Well since I have plugins in Azu I use, that's not my best option | 10:04 |
| AdemoS | I'll try Sun java next | 10:04 |
| th0r | AdemoS I would recommend going to sun java anyway to ensure compatibility with other java apps | 10:04 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: if you get it running let me know as I tried absolutely everything. | 10:04 |
| Karyom | I have an Intel Core Duo 2Ghz and 2 Gb RAM will it run? | 10:04 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: Gave up and went to Deluge | 10:05 |
| AdemoS | th0r: Same here | 10:05 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, can you link me to that, might be interesting to look at | 10:05 |
| th0r | Hemebond I had it running in suse the other day, but saw no reason to keep it since I like Deluge | 10:05 |
| Hemebond | It's in the repos | 10:05 |
| Karyom | AdemoS have you tried KTorrent? I think its much better than Azureus | 10:06 |
| AdemoS | hmm I'll check it out, I really do like the cross-combatiliblity concept though | 10:06 |
| linuxboy | does postgres in ubuntu suppoer pg-cluster ? | 10:06 |
| AdemoS | I'll try them both guys | 10:06 |
| tuntun | Has anyone played FlightGear? (screenshots http://www.flightgear.org/Gallery-v1.0/) how is it?? | 10:06 |
| Hemebond | th0r: I spent a day or two trying to get it running in Ubuntu. Tried every version of Java. Different versions of Az. Repo. Debs. The lot. Kind of runs now but throws up heaps of errors. | 10:06 |
| gaelik | need somehelp | 10:06 |
| gaelik | my sinaptic is dead | 10:06 |
| Hemebond | gaelik: Dead how? | 10:07 |
| oly- | ikonia, looks like its missing from gutsy if you download and compile freetds its actually included | 10:07 |
| th0r | Hemebond that was something I didn't like about it. If I ran it from a menu it looked fine, but from a terminal it was constantly throwing errors | 10:07 |
| gaelik | E: Línea 67 mal formada en lista de fuentes /etc/apt/sources.list (dist absoluta) | 10:07 |
| imaginator | gaelik: do you mean synaptic (the package manager) ? | 10:07 |
| AdemoS | two ports...? | 10:07 |
| gaelik | E: Líne 67 as bad format in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist absoluta) | 10:07 |
| Myrtti | gaelik: looks like it says what the error is | 10:08 |
| AdemoS | I haven't used two ports for bittorrents since the shadow BT | 10:08 |
| gaelik | yes | 10:08 |
| Myrtti | gaelik: fix it | 10:08 |
| gaelik | synaptic | 10:08 |
| AdemoS | well I'll look at ktorrent | 10:08 |
| ikonia | oly-: apologies, I'm back now | 10:08 |
| th0r | gaelik look at line 67 in that file....there is something wrong with it. | 10:08 |
| gaelik | ........ | 10:08 |
| gaelik | ok | 10:08 |
| bagoes | jember | 10:08 |
| gaelik | ill take a look and i come back | 10:08 |
| Myrtti | gaelik: alt-f2, write "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and see what's on line 67 | 10:09 |
| oly- | thats okay, just thought i would let you know so basically it should be possible to connect using freetds, just have to compile my own | 10:09 |
| imaginator | tuntun: FlightGear is ok. I played it years ago. It's mainly meant as an accurate simulation of flying, so it's somewhat complex. I think I prefer bzflag, openarena, and tremulous for gaming. | 10:09 |
| ikonia | oly-: so you have to build your own ms tsql client ? | 10:09 |
| oly- | no just build my own freetds | 10:09 |
| bagoes | everyone with no one | 10:09 |
| oly- | it includes tsql, | 10:09 |
| Karyom | Ademos you can install it over at-get, but for the more up to date Version you must install it over source...from the Website | 10:09 |
| oly- | just not in the version in the repository for some reason | 10:10 |
| ikonia | oly-: ahh hI see | 10:10 |
| gaelik | ok | 10:10 |
| gaelik | im seyng the list now | 10:10 |
| oly- | will see if i can file it as a bug some where or something | 10:10 |
| gaelik | thanks myrtti | 10:10 |
| gaelik | now what? | 10:10 |

| Sergemine | Hi, Guys! Need help. I have to connect to a network without a dhcp server. When setting a static IP nothing works since the last update. No network at all. Anyone knows if there is a way to make ubuntu set a specified IP in case it fales to find a DHCP??? | 10:10 |
| oly- | should be in hardy, because buisnesses generally have mssql in place so need to interoperate with it | 10:10 |
| gaelik | lines arent numbered | 10:11 |
| ikonia | oly-: I would log a request to verify it will be in hardy rather than assume | 10:11 |
| chazco | Anyone know how to create a mime type which will be recognised in KDE and Gnome? | 10:11 |
| AdemoS | Karyom, well at the moment I'm trying sun java, but I'll try that next thanks | 10:11 |
| Hemebond | gaelik: Gedit lets you go to a line. | 10:11 |
| ikonia | chazco: are you still struggling | 10:11 |
| Hemebond | gaelik: Under the search menu | 10:11 |
| oly- | ikonia, what do you mean log a request is that the ask a question on launchpad | 10:11 |
| tuntun | imaginator: look at the screenshots (http://www.flightgear.org/Gallery-v1.0/) it looks like flight simulator X, that's not too complex, this doesn't look so either | 10:11 |
| chazco | ikonia - It works on Gnome, but not KDE | 10:11 |
| ikonia | oly-: correct | 10:12 |
| chazco | Still not sure if i've done it the correct way though | 10:12 |
| oly- | okay will do thxs for the help :) | 10:12 |
| AdemoS | yup, good old azu didn't let me down | 10:12 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, go with Sun Java 6 jre | 10:12 |
| norv | chazco: well there's /etc/mime.types etc | 10:12 |
| ikonia | chazco: I've not got access to my build kit at the moment but as you've been struggling for so long and really trying with this, if you want I'll catch you later about 8:00GMT and go through this with you when I can access my build machine | 10:12 |
| WEW | I'm using dual monitor with separate X screens. When I want to launch a program from terminal, how do i let it know which screen to open in? Write now everything's going to the 2nd monitor | 10:12 |
| chazco | Oh thanks :) Would appreciate that | 10:13 |
| chazco | norv - Tried that, KDE doesnt seem to recognise it | 10:13 |
| tuntun | imaginator: you said you played a few years ago, it must have been 2d! :P | 10:13 |
| chazco | I think they both use different methods | 10:13 |
| imaginator | tuntun: nah, it was 3D. I think there was only a plane back then to fly | 10:13 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: I use SUN Java | 10:13 |
| Sergemine | Anyone: can ubuntu set a static IP in case it doesn't get automatically - like in Windows (alternative configuration) ??????????? | 10:14 |
| nocturn | Hi again | 10:14 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, Sun Java 6 though? Cause once I switched to that, no crashes | 10:14 |
| imaginator | WEW: do you have displays :0.0 and :0.1? | 10:14 |
| nocturn | I'm still trying to open an mms stream | 10:14 |
| WEW | imaginator i dont know | 10:14 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: Yes. It's in the repos. | 10:14 |
| nocturn | every program locks up when opening it, vlc, banshee, movie player, xine, ... | 10:14 |
| Myrtti | Sergemine: sure | 10:14 |
| WEW | imaginator where do I check that | 10:14 |
| imaginator | WEW: xdpyinfo would tell you which screens you have. The screen number comes after the 0. | 10:15 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, well doing that worked for me, and I got everything from the repo....beyond remove and installing again I don't know what to tell ya | 10:15 |
| Sergemine | Oh! Myrtti, how can I do that??/ | 10:15 |
| th0r | nocturn what is the stream? | 10:15 |
| Jowi_n1 | Sergemine, see "man dhclient.conf" in the "alias declarations" | 10:15 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: What version of Azu you using? 2.5 from the repos? | 10:15 |
| nocturn | th0r: mms://wm.streampower.be/4fmlow | 10:15 |
| nocturn | It's a local Belgian radio station | 10:15 |
| tuntun | everyone should have a look at at this open source flight simulator (screenshots: http://www.flightgear.org/Gallery-v1.0/). | 10:15 |
| tuntun | If anyone decides to play it let me know how it is! :) | 10:15 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, 2.5.0.4 | 10:15 |
| Myrtti | Jowi_n1: how about System - Admin - Network Tools | 10:15 |
| imaginator | WEW: you should be able to do something like: xterm -display :0.0 to make it be on a certain screen. If the program doesn't support that you can use: env DISPLAY=:0.0 someprogram & | 10:16 |
| WEW | imaginator: Okay it's 0 and 1, and the default screen is set to 0 | 10:16 |
| WEW | imaginator: Sorry I mean default is 1 | 10:16 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: Ah, I needed 3. | 10:16 |
| Myrtti | what on earth | 10:16 |
| Myrtti | Sergemine: system - admin - network tools | 10:16 |
| Myrtti | Jowi_n1: nvm | 10:16 |
| Jowi_n1 | Myrtti, haven't got gnome here. | 10:16 |
| th0r | nocturn if its any consolation it doesn't work for me either...and I use vlc to run streams all the time. | 10:16 |
| jimmio | tuntun: Played it before... it was alright... | 10:16 |
| nocturn | Thanks for trying th0r | 10:17 |
| WEW | imaginator how do I make the default screen 0 | 10:17 |
| tuntun | <jimmio> Yeah, it's only just gotten to version 1 :O | 10:17 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, haha, never thought I | 10:17 |
| AdemoS | I'd be solving OTHER people's problems here | 10:17 |
| th0r | nocturn xmms doesn't like it either | 10:18 |
| Sergemine | Jowi_n1, it sounds just like what I need, but I never did it before. Could you please give a little more detail??? Please. alias, declarations - no idea what it is and where to look for it | 10:18 |
| imaginator | WEW: I'm not certain, but perhaps via your /etc/X11/xorg.conf mine is by default screen 0 | 10:18 |
| c9s | imaginator: yeah, it's a long path | 10:18 |
| c9s | imaginator: yeah, it's a long path #>> hello , i have command to rename a file ( mv foobar/foo.bak foobar/foo ) , how do i make this command shorter or faster :) | 10:18 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: Did you get 3 running? | 10:18 |
| Jowi_n1 | Sergemine, luckily I don't have to - there's a Sample of how the alias works at the bottom of the man page :) | 10:18 |
| th0r | nocturn mplayer froze on it <smile> | 10:18 |
| WEW | imaginator: Mine was normal before, but after I restarted gdm, somehow everything's now going to the 2nd screen | 10:19 |
| Sonja | what app can i use to compose music? | 10:19 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, 3 what? | 10:19 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: Azureus 3 | 10:19 |
| Jowi_n1 | Sergemine, however, if it can be achieved with a gui as Myrtti said, perhaps that's easier... | 10:19 |
| c9s | imaginator: the path i actually have might be foobar/fff/ddd/zzz/eee/qqq/hhh/foo.bak | 10:19 |
| imaginator | c9s: I suppose you could use a variable for the long prefix | 10:19 |
| Sergemine | Jowi_n1, where do I set alias and declaration??? | 10:19 |
| nocturn | th0r: It freezes any program I tried... | 10:19 |
| nocturn | Nice stream :-) | 10:20 |
| Sonja | to compose a midi or whatever | 10:20 |
| jimmio | imaginator: sorry to bug you again... but it seems I have a similar issue... this time with a function called IMG_Load which isn't declared anywhere X_X | 10:20 |
| c9s | imaginator: hmm can i save the variable in the same line ? | 10:20 |
| Jowi_n1 | Sergemine, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf is the config file | 10:20 |
| inSanity_808 | fUGLY : dude! | 10:20 |
| jimmio | imaginator: nvm, I got it I believe | 10:21 |
| Jowi_n1 | Sergemine, my dhclient.conf file already contain an alias commented out that seem useful. | 10:21 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, oh Azureus 3, no I was only working with 2.5.0.4. I guess I could grab it, though this is working fine | 10:21 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, got a deb or a repo I can sign up for? | 10:21 |
| c9s | imaginator: i have a idea | 10:22 |
| Sergemin1 | Jowi_n1, I got disconneted so probably missed reply. Where can I setup alias and declarations, dhcp client ??? PLS | 10:22 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: You have to download a .jar from the website. I recommend just sticking with 2.5. | 10:22 |
| imaginator | c9s: VAR=/some/long/path ; mv $VAR/file foo/bar | 10:22 |
| c9s | imaginator: mv something{.dic,} | 10:22 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: Azureus is a dog to upgrade. | 10:22 |
| c9s | imaginator: mv something{.bak,} | 10:22 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, haha "Update Manager: Congratulations, you have the newest version" | 10:22 |
| AdemoS | I'll just take their word fo rit | 10:22 |
| Jowi_n1 | Sergemine, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf is the config file.It should already contain a sample "alias" section in there that you can just comment out and modify. | 10:22 |
| Jowi_n1 | Sergemin1, ^^^ | 10:22 |
| c9s | imaginator: seems worky | 10:22 |
| c9s | imaginator: so i can do ... mv foobar/something{.bak,} | 10:23 |
| imaginator | WEW: do you have any mention of your "Default Screen" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ServerLayout? | 10:23 |
| c9s | imaginator: cool | 10:23 |
| Sergemin1 | Jowi_n1, are there any GUI tools for that? | 10:24 |
| WEW | imaginator yes it's there | 10:24 |
| Jowi_n1 | Sergemin1, I don't know. | 10:24 |
| Sergemin1 | Jowi_n1, thank you | 10:25 |
| c9s | Sergemin1: $ sudo dhclient ? | 10:25 |
| WEW | imaginator; but not in server layout | 10:25 |
| imaginator | what section is it in? | 10:25 |
| c9s | Sergemin1: the config file is inside /etc/network/* | 10:25 |
| jmcd | wow a large group .... | 10:26 |
| WEW | imaginator it's there in section "Screen" | 10:26 |
| c9s | Sergemin1: you can setup your dhcp config in /etc/network/interface | 10:26 |
| Sergemin1 | c9s, if I google for it - what is that I should be lloking for: DHCP client setup ??? | 10:26 |
| jimmio | imaginator: Again it was a needed library, got it going now. Thanks again for the initial help, I'd be no where without ya | 10:27 |
| imaginator | jimmio: I'm glad you have it working :) | 10:28 |
| WEW | imaginator: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=9300 This is what my xorg.conf says | 10:29 |
| WEW | imaginator: I never added anything in there myself. I let nvidia-settings set it up | 10:29 |
| WEW | imaginator: It was working fine till now.. I don't know how it set a default screen without asking me | 10:29 |
| spdf | WEW: Likely the order they're initialized in | 10:30 |
| amikrop | Hello. I already have PHP installed in my system. How can I use the mail() function (should I install an MTA, and how to configure it)? | 10:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | WEW: what are you trying to do? | 10:30 |
| WEW | spdf okay so how do I make the first screen initialize | 10:30 |
| WEW | IndyGunFreak: When I try to run something from terminal, it's opening in my 2nd screen.. | 10:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | WEW: hang on, i remember having that problem.. | 10:31 |
| WEW | IndyGunFreak: I want it to open in whichever screen I pulled up the terminal from | 10:31 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, trying the deb from here, I'll let you know if it works out http://getdeb.net/release.php?id=1700 | 10:31 |
| imaginator | WEW: I wonder if it could be the xinerama settings. I don't personally use xinerama, with my multiple displays | 10:31 |
| WEW | I lost sound earlier and I had to close gdm before removing the module and adding it back.. After I started gdm, now my 2nd screen is the default one somehow | 10:32 |
| WEW | imaginator: I don't have xinerama enabled | 10:32 |
| imaginator | WEW: did you use this: #Removed Option "Xinerama" "1" ? | 10:32 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, sorry that was 64 bit only, this has both http://getdeb.net/app.php?name=Azureus | 10:32 |
| imaginator | oh I see | 10:32 |
| Sergemine | c9s, DHCP client settings is the place where alternative IP (static) can be set ??? | 10:32 |
| WEW | No I didnt do anything to the screen setup | 10:32 |
| WEW | It was working fine | 10:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | its in nvidia settings, i just can't remember what i changed | 10:33 |
| === loucas is now known as SoteriouLoucas | ||
| Jowi_n1 | Sergemine, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf . check if it doesn't already contain an alias. it is simple to remove the #'s and adjust the IP+Netmask and save the file.... | 10:34 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, not only did Azuerus 3 work, I'm using it to update to the newest one, looking very nice | 10:35 |
| AdemoS | bookmark getdeb.net it's been a lifesaver for me | 10:35 |
| Sergemine | Jowi_n1, thank you again! | 10:35 |

| fUGLY | Hi Everybody. I am new with linux (ubuntu). I am trying to get my screen resolution right and to get my external samsung monitor working also. My Video card is a GeForce FX Go 5300. Could someone help me installing the correct drivers? | 10:37 |
| c9s | Jowi_n1: cool | 10:38 |
| sasha_ | the video card is an :VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82946GZ/GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 10:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | !nvidia | fUGLY | 10:38 |
| ubotu | fUGLY: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:38 |
| imaginator | WEW: I wish I had further advice other than hints. You mentioned that you restarted GDM. Perhaps it has something to do with changing the default screen. | 10:39 |
| AdemoS | hey guys, what dir would Azureus be located in? Following this guide http://azureuswiki.com/index.php/Failed_Update#Linux.2FUnix_notes | 10:39 |

| sasha_ | i just wont use the right driver for my machine :-/ | 10:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | sasha_: curious, did your sound work out of the box? | 10:41 |
| bangkok | pls IM me for any tip | 10:41 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: I just fixed the errors I was getting. Was a permissions thing. Probably when I ran it as root so that the auto-update rubbish would work. | 10:41 |
| f0g_ | i have a sound problem, my creative travelmate speakers don't work in gutsy can anyone help? | 10:42 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, how would I run it as root? | 10:42 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: I was just running using sudo | 10:43 |
| Hemebond | Or something. | 10:43 |
| Hemebond | Can't remember now. | 10:43 |
| Hemebond | Never run things as root. | 10:43 |
| imaginator | sasha_: from what I've just read the i810 driver for Xorg may work | 10:43 |
| sasha_ | how can i install it ? using apt-get ? | 10:44 |
| dep1 | hello and happy new year | 10:44 |
| AdemoS | Hemebond, what I mean is, how do I exec the program with sudo? | 10:44 |
| Hemebond | sudo azureus | 10:44 |
| dep1 | who can help me to compile 7.10 kernel with restricted drivers support? | 10:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hemebond: why in the world would you do that? | 10:45 |
| imaginator | sasha_: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-i810 | 10:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | dep1: just ask your question. | 10:45 |
| Hemebond | IndyGunFreak: Because I was getting errors about updates and permissions. Azureus has an auto-update feature. | 10:45 |
| sasha_ | ok :-D | 10:45 |
| Myrtti | dep1: and how do you know it's not already compiled with restricted drivers support? | 10:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hemebond: hmm, you shouldn't need to do tht. | 10:46 |
| dep1 | IndyGunFreak: thanks. I must use the MultiTech GPRS modem, i've patched the files but now i would recompile kernel (ubuntu 7.10) | 10:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | dep1: you shouldn't need to recompile the kernel, ndiswrapper will probably get your modem working, using the windows driver, but i'm not real familiar w/ it. | 10:46 |
| f0g_ | built in laptop speakers are working, but standalone not... | 10:46 |
| Hemebond | IndyGunFreak: Agreed. I should be able to just install it through Synaptic. | 10:47 |
| imaginator | dep1: does it not build as a module? just make sure the module gets copied to the right place, and modprobe or insmod it | 10:47 |
| dep1 | IndyGunFreak: well i've the WinXP version, did you think it's working with ndiswrapper? | 10:47 |
| Maverick | why is my ubuntu using my ppp0 ip for my LAN? | 10:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | dep1: ndiswrapper is to use windows drivers w/ modems, wireless devices, etc. | 10:48 |
| dep1 | IndyGunFreak:thanks, but how i can install /use ndiswrapper? | 10:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | dep1: now that, i don't know... i'm not ral familiar w/ how it works. | 10:49 |
| wols | 1ndiswrapper | 10:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | what type of modem do you have again | 10:49 |
| wols | !ndiswrapper | 10:49 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | !ndiswrapper | 10:49 |
| wols | IndyGunFreak: how do you know it works with modems? | 10:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | thats more releating to wifi/wireless... but its the same basic concept to get your dial up modem working. | 10:49 |
| wols | gprs ones at that? | 10:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | wols: i've saw it recommended here... i have no first hand experience w/ it.. i've just saw suggested using ndiswrapper w/ dial up modems | 10:50 |
| f0g_ | !sound | 10:50 |
| 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).

| ikonia | I don't think it will work with modems due to the winmodem chip issues | 10:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm maybe not win modems..... what about *normal* modems? | 10:50 |
| wols | IndyGunFreak: I've seen people suggesing ndiswrapper for any windows drivers.. | 10:50 |
| ikonia | IndyGunFreak: normal modems won't need windows drivers | 10:51 |
| wols | IndyGunFreak: "normal" modems don't need special drivers | 10:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | ikonia: i thought that as soon as i typed it..lol | 10:51 |
| ttt-- | what if a process doesnt respond to pkill or kill | 10:51 |

| wols | ttt--: kill -9 ? | 10:51 |
| ikonia | ttt--: are you the owner ? is the process zombied ? what kill level are you hitting it with ? | 10:51 |
| ttt-- | what does -9 do? | 10:51 |
| WEW | ndiswrapper is for any windows driver? So I can install my scanner too? | 10:52 |
| ikonia | WEW: it's not a generic windows driver tool | 10:52 |

| ttt-- | ok -9 did the trick, thanks! | 10:52 |
| imaginator | ttt--: it sends a SIGKILL signal to the process. SIGKILL is unblockable and can't be caught. | 10:52 |

| f0g_ | why built in speakers are working, and when i plug in creative speakers i can't hear a thing? | 10:58 |
| ikonia | Maverick: are you connected to the internet in any way ? | 10:58 |

| AdemoS | Hemebond, ah didn't read the part about you forgetting, never mind | 10:58 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: probably gksudo azureus | 10:58 |
| AdemoS | ooh | 10:58 |
| AdemoS | thanks | 10:58 |
| ikonia | Maverick: so what's the problem, your getting the correct settings on your ppp0 device | 10:58 |
| wols | running a p2p client as root is a spectacular dumb thing to do | 10:58 |

| IndyGunFreak | wols: he's been told that like 4x..lol, he comes up with some reason to justify it..lol | 10:59 |
| Hemebond | AdemoS: As far as I understand it, sudo is console, gksudo is gnome|gui. | 10:59 |
| Maverick | ikonia: i am unable to use my lan properly | 10:59 |
| AdemoS | ahh | 10:59 |
| ikonia | Maverick: because youru default route is ppp0 | 10:59 |
| wols | IndyGunFreak: who? AdemoS or Hemebond | 10:59 |
| ikonia | Maverick: so everything will go out of ppp0 | 10:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | Hemebond: | 10:59 |
| wols | ikonia: not everything | 10:59 |
| Hemebond | IndyGunFreak: I'm not running it as root. | 10:59 |

| libqt4 | ikonia: File.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 0 x 0, ~30 fps, | 11:15 |
| Maverick | ikonia: yes... | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Maverick: so you'll need to configure your messager client to connect to a 10.x address | 11:16 |
| Maverick | ikonia: how can i do that? | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Maverick: I don't know | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Maverick: that depends on your messager client | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Maverick: basiclly unless you tell ANY application to connect to a 10.x address it will go out of the ppp0 card | 11:16 |
| Maverick | ikonia: all my apps connect using the ppp0 address unlike windows where they use the eth0 address...do i need to tell them to do so? | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Maverick: they are connecting using the ppp0 address because they are all looking for non 10.x addresses | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Maverick: you'll have to tell them to look for a 10.x address to make them connect out of eth0 | 11:18 |
| Maverick | ikonia: are the routing tables in the file i posted ok in comparison with windows? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | Maverick: ok in what way ? | 11:20 |
| Maverick | ikonia: i mean to ask whether the problem lies in the routing in ubuntu or the apps... | 11:21 |
| billy | anyway to copy text from emacs into a webpage? as its not allowing me to copy and paste? | 11:21 |
| Hemebond | middle-mouse button? | 11:22 |
| ikonia | Martinp23: routing looks fine | 11:22 |
| jlulian38 | Is there a library or something that will let you mount archives as partitions? | 11:22 |
| Maverick | ikonia: thanks | 11:23 |
| ikonia | Maverick: sorry, that was for you, but you appear to have guessed | 11:23 |
| Maverick | ikonia: np :) | 11:23 |
| ikonia | jlulian38: thinks like iso file systems, yes | 11:23 |
| jlulian38 | I meant like .tar.gz's :/ | 11:24 |
| ikonia | jlulian38: no, but why would you want to mount it ? | 11:24 |
| jlulian38 | I remember something like that once | 11:24 |
| jlulian38 | you could just cd into the directory :/ | 11:24 |
| ikonia | jlulian38: you un tar it, you can then just cd into that directory | 11:24 |
| ikonia | jlulian38: once it's untarred you can mount it as a loopback file system | 11:25 |
| jlulian38 | ikonia, it makes using applications with like storage archives easier | 11:25 |
| jlulian38 | AS A COMPLETE EXAMPLE | 11:25 |
| jlulian38 | say I'm reading a book | 11:25 |
| jlulian38 | it's split into pages for some reason | 11:25 |
| jlulian38 | these are all put into archives by chapter | 11:25 |
| __machine | how do i see a list of installed packages with ubuntu gutsy? | 11:25 |
| jlulian38 | I don't want to untar them all, that would waste space | 11:25 |
| ikonia | __machine: use synaptic or dpkg -l | 11:25 |
| rich__ | Question: I can mkds with a VM of CentOS 5 but i cannot mkfs from my host install of ubuntu 'device busy or in use' | 11:25 |
| jlulian38 | but untarring and retarring each one is a pain | 11:26 |
| ikonia | jlulian38: thats just bad file managment, but thats off topic | 11:26 |
| jlulian38 | Raor | 11:26 |
| jlulian38 | fine | 11:26 |
| jlulian38 | I'll go back to lurking | 11:26 |
| jlulian38 | is that the actual spelling by the way? | 11:26 |
| jlulian38 | lurk | 11:27 |
| jlulian38 | huh :/ | 11:27 |
| rich__ | does anyone know the answer to my beautiful question? | 11:28 |
| Maverick | ikonia: is there any way to edit the routing tables using a text editor or something? | 11:28 |
| ikonia | Maverick: no | 11:29 |
| Maverick | ikonia: thanks... | 11:29 |
| Buiss | how to create a dialup connection in ubuntu if my connection doesnt require a username and password | 11:31 |
| martyn | rich, I strongly believe the answer to be ... 42 | 11:31 |
| ikonia | Buiss: leave it blank ? | 11:31 |
| Buiss | it say no valid user name or password | 11:31 |
| Buiss | in wvdial.conf | 11:32 |
| ikonia | Buiss: no idea, never used wvdial | 11:32 |
| Buiss | then how to create one? | 11:32 |
| Buiss | without wvdial | 11:32 |
| ikonia | within ubuntu - I don't know much about the modem tool | 11:33 |
| |ns|nR8 | just put in a username and password anyway | 11:33 |
| ikonia | |ns|nR8: surly then the connection will fail with a wrong username and password | 11:34 |
| |ns|nR8 | why not try | 11:35 |
| Buiss | and what if it says "Carrier found dont know what to do..tryind pppd..pppdaemon died..trying to reconnect in 80 seconds | 11:35 |
| ikonia | sure | 11:35 |
| |ns|nR8 | if it require no user/pass it wont ask for one | 11:35 |
| |ns|nR8 | so it wont fail | 11:35 |
| HackerAlert | Can someone please help me, its just a quick issue | 11:36 |
| ikonia | HackerAlert: if you ask a question | 11:36 |
| HackerAlert | OK wel | 11:36 |
| Aquahallic | mornin' folks | 11:36 |
| HackerAlert | well* | 11:36 |
| HackerAlert | I've enabled ati drivers.. | 11:36 |
| HackerAlert | but, when I start ubuntu it says im in low graphics mode | 11:36 |
| Buiss | i just tried puttind <none>..do it troubles | 11:36 |
| HackerAlert | and i can only choose 800x600 and 640x480 in screen resolution settings | 11:37 |
| HackerAlert | it says the driver is in use though | 11:37 |
| XiXaQ | it looks so easy to share files and folders using System > Administration > Shared folders, but I'm not able to view them... Why? :) | 11:37 |
| ikonia | HackerAlert: look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, see what driver is actually in use | 11:37 |
| HackerAlert | OK | 11:37 |
| HackerAlert | what should it be set to? I have no idea, been using linux for only a day | 11:37 |
| XiXaQ | HackerAlert, you need to add the options to xorg.conf, probably. | 11:38 |
| w3d1w4_ | direct rendering:NO how to change yes | 11:38 |
| ikonia | HackerAlert: thats ok, just look at what's in the xorg.conf file next to the line "Driver" | 11:38 |
| XiXaQ | HackerAlert, iirc, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg --phigh should fix it. | 11:38 |
| HackerAlert | fglrx | 11:38 |
| Aquahallic | I'm trying to get lirc working correctly.... I went to uninstall it because I think something got jacked with the install previously... when I do apt-get remove lirc it wants to pull out my control center and all kinds of mess... is it possible that the package handler is jacked??? if so... is there a way to repair this?? | 11:38 |
| HackerAlert | thats what's on that line | 11:38 |
| ikonia | HackerAlert: ok, so that looks like your using the correct driver, which is a good start | 11:38 |
| HackerAlert | should I do that command line still? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | what command line ? | 11:39 |
| HackerAlert | sudo dpkg-reconfigure....... | 11:39 |
| ikonia | HackerAlert: if you want to try to re-configure it, sure | 11:39 |
| HackerAlert | Should the screen line be set to 0? | 11:39 |
| HackerAlert | or 1? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | screen line ? | 11:39 |
| HackerAlert | Screen0 | 11:40 |
| HackerAlert | thats whats on that line | 11:40 |
| HackerAlert | isn't default screen 1? | 11:40 |
| ikonia | HackerAlert: do you have multiple screens ? | 11:40 |
| HackerAlert | Noe | 11:40 |
| HackerAlert | nope* | 11:40 |
| Liquid | computers start with number 0 | 11:40 |
| ikonia | screen0 is fine then | 11:40 |
| HackerAlert | ok | 11:40 |
| HackerAlert | well what could it be :( | 11:40 |
| ikonia | HackerAlert: many things, ati cards/drivers are a real pain as a general rule of thumb | 11:41 |
| ikonia | !ati >hackeralert | 11:41 |
| ikonia | HackerAlert: have a look at the link ubotu sent you, you have the drivers installed see if you missed any other configuration steps | 11:41 |
| HackerAlert | ok i'll take a look | 11:41 |
| HackerAlert | ah I didn't configure it at all hehe | 11:41 |
| HackerAlert | I thought it was just an install and use thing | 11:42 |
| finn | hi, will ubuntu recognize an old video card? how old? | 11:42 |
| ikonia | finn: if it's supported by xorg - sure | 11:42 |
| finn | where can I find that information? | 11:42 |
| ikonia | finn: what card is it ? | 11:43 |
| white_eagle | is there any chance to make the ubuntu background moving? | 11:43 |

| finn | well, I'm just considering buying a card from a big box of old video cards at my local computer shop... | 11:43 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: you can use movie files | 11:43 |
| ikonia | finn: most non-nvidia/ati cards will be supported by xorg out of the box | 11:44 |
| ikonia | finn: assuming they are a year or two old | 11:44 |
| finn | ok thanks | 11:44 |
| finn | oh these are probably 3-5 years old | 11:44 |
| ikonia | you'll be fine, just don't expect to run compiz desktop effects | 11:44 |
| finn | no no this is only to use for a server | 11:44 |

| KenSentMe | Can i install packages like build essential on a live cd? | 11:46 |
| ikonia | KenSentMe: you can but you'll need to re-install each time you reboot | 11:46 |
| white_eagle | whre can I find nautilius scripts? | 11:46 |
| KenSentMe | ikonia, i have to test some webcam driver on hardy so i try to do it from live cd, but i guess my ram is the limit for the size of packages i can install | 11:47 |
| ikonia | KenSentMe: well yes that will limit it, are you getting an error on install ? | 11:47 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: nautilius is a file manager ? what do you mean by scripts | 11:48 |
| KenSentMe | ikonia, no, i'm still downloading the iso but i want to make sure it will work | 11:48 |

| Sonja | i can't open the midi in any of my other audio playres though | 11:58 |

| vreer | it is mentioned in grub/menu.st; but does not appear in the list when booting | 12:07 |
| Jordan_U | vreer, Can you pastebin your menu.lst ? | 12:08 |
| mhrnjad | vreer: did you change menu.lst recently? | 12:08 |
| vreer | so effectively i cannot boot into my xen-kernel | 12:08 |
| Buyydee | kane77: rtorrent comes from the universe depositories and is installed without you having to do anything | 12:08 |
| vreer | mhrnjad: yes i did, and saved it | 12:08 |

| francesco | Hello, guys! If this is a help channel, I have a question for you. When I install Ubuntu, Ubuntu has already a username called 'root', but I don't know its password. How can I log in as root? | 12:13 |
| ubuser | mhrnjad: yes i did | 12:13 |
| Jordan_U | !pastebin | vreer | 12:13 |
| ubotu | vreer: 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) | 12:13 |
| fotoflo | frederico: root login is turned off by default in ubuntu | 12:13 |
| fotoflo | try sudo -i if you want a root shell | 12:14 |
| arsovik | francesco: you may use "sudo x" to execute command x with root permissions | 12:14 |
| Jordan_U | reverseblade, Can you get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 ? | 12:14 |
| Jordan_U | !root | francesco | 12:14 |
| ubotu | francesco: 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 | 12:14 |
| reverseblade | Jordan_U, no mouse freezes even alt prtscreen + REISUB does not work | 12:14 |
| francesco | fotoflo, arsovik: So the root 'namespace' is 'fictional', right? | 12:14 |
| fotoflo | francesco: no | 12:15 |
| fotoflo | franscio: i beleive you can also edit your passwd file or /etc/sudoers if you want to allow root logins | 12:15 |
| fotoflo | anyone know anything about the GPL? | 12:15 |
| Jordan_U | francesco, All that is disabled is logging in as root, the account still exists as normal, if you set a password for it ( which you should NOT do ) you will be able to login as root | 12:15 |
| Jordan_U | !anyone | fotoflo | 12:16 |
| ubotu | fotoflo: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 12:16 |

| |ns|nR8 | on windows do you have to hit 'connect' bidossessi, or is just connected when you start windows ? | 12:18 |
| ikonia | francesco: if you can't answer that question yourself you should not set the root password | 12:18 |
| Jowi_n1 | francesco, any user account that can sudo can set the root password | 12:18 |
| bidossessi | |ns|nR8, i catually use opensuse. but i have to launch kinternet | 12:19 |
| |ns|nR8 | ah ok | 12:19 |
| francesco | Jowi_n1: Then, only the administrator can set the root password, right? | 12:19 |
| Jowi_n1 | francesco, so only let trusted users get sudo. yes, the admin can set it. | 12:19 |
| |ns|nR8 | you can just use ppp dialer bidossessi | 12:19 |
| |ns|nR8 | and specify the modem as your adsl modem | 12:19 |
| |ns|nR8 | thats using a usb modem | 12:20 |

| wols | |ns|nR8: there are tons of those | 12:22 |
| Smegzor | |ns|nR8: I never use it though. Well its an adsl modem (cheap and nasty) | 12:22 |
| wols | and yes, ethernet | 12:22 |
| Smegzor | it connects via USB | 12:22 |
| |ns|nR8 | yeah there are tons of usb ones wols | 12:22 |
| |ns|nR8 | but not ethernet | 12:22 |
| wols | before wlan routers were common, the adsl modems were the normal devices you got from ISPs | 12:22 |
| francesco | Can a normal user 'guess' the root password, if it exists, anyway, ad default? | 12:22 |
| |ns|nR8 | that aint a router aswell | 12:22 |
| wols | noflex: no ethernet ones | 12:22 |
| simNIX | says hi | 12:23 |
| |ns|nR8 | francesco there is no root password set by default | 12:23 |
| Karyom | Hello, how can I administrate the Samba Server under Gnome? | 12:23 |
| francesco | Ok. | 12:23 |
| |ns|nR8 | yeah thats what im sayikng | 12:23 |
| |ns|nR8 | ethernet and not a nat router ??? lol strange... | 12:23 |
| KenSentMe | Can i compile the hardy kernel for my gutsy system for testing a driver on the newer kernel? | 12:23 |
| aricz_ | larry laffer huh! | 12:23 |
| Jordan_U | KenSentMe, It'd be easier to just use a LiveCD :) | 12:23 |
| vreer | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50588/ | 12:23 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, but i'm affraid i need more packages then my ram can handle | 12:24 |
| francesco | Thank you very much guys! | 12:24 |
| francesco | Good bye! | 12:24 |
| Smegzor | Has anyone else had trouble with large network copies (multiple gigs) over NFS? I can't use it unless I like constant hard resets. | 12:24 |
| Jordan_U | KenSentMe, Ahh, what exactly are you trying to test? | 12:25 |
| Karyom | Is there a Terminal Command to admin the SMB Server maybe with a GUI? | 12:25 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, a webcam driver https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4698310 | 12:25 |
| bidossessi | |ns|nR8, ok, point me in the right direction. assuming i've booted into the live cd and i have a live ethernet connection to the modem; where do i find the dialer in ubuntu | 12:25 |
| Karyom | like in KDE? | 12:25 |
| Smegzor | There is a web gui for managing Samba | 12:25 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, i need to have build essential, v4l and a webcam app | 12:25 |
| Karyom | is there no program with GUI for it in Gnome? | 12:26 |
| Pici | Karyom: No. | 12:26 |
| Jordan_U | !kernel | KenSentMe | 12:26 |
| ubotu | KenSentMe: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages | 12:26 |
| |ns|nR8 | bidossessi does your modem have its own ip ? | 12:26 |
| Karyom | mmh okay...what is the port for the webgui? | 12:26 |
| |ns|nR8 | LAN ip ? | 12:26 |
| Jordan_U | KenSentMe, I would go with a vanilla kernel of exactly the version he is suggesting be used rather than the hardy kernel | 12:27 |
| |ns|nR8 | eg 192.168.1.1 | 12:27 |
| Smegzor | 10000 | 12:27 |
| bidossessi | |ns|nR8, yes. it does dhcp | 12:27 |
| |ns|nR8 | then it is a nat router bidossessi | 12:27 |
| Pici | Karyom: There is SWAT for administrating Samba via a web gui. | 12:27 |
| Smegzor | .. but you'll need to install the web gui first. | 12:27 |
| wols | bidossessi: then there is no dialer | 12:27 |
| |ns|nR8 | cheers wols | 12:27 |
| wols | bidossessi: none needed | 12:27 |
| bidossessi | but i still have to key in a pass to get online | 12:27 |
| |ns|nR8 | sounds strange | 12:27 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, well, he mentions to use A rc kernel, so all versions should work | 12:28 |
| |ns|nR8 | ok | 12:28 |
| wols | bidossessi: doesn't jive with getting a private IP | 12:28 |
| |ns|nR8 | in terminal, find out your machines ip address | 12:28 |
| |ns|nR8 | um | 12:28 |
| simNIX | Karyom: thereś also a webmin module for Samba if im not mistaken | 12:28 |
| |ns|nR8 | ifconfig eth0 | 12:28 |
| Smegzor | Webmin is what I use. | 12:28 |
| simNIX | prefers console | 12:28 |
| |ns|nR8 | bidossessi i think i used kppp | 12:28 |
| Karyom | thanks I take a look | 12:28 |
| wols | Smegzor: not good | 12:28 |
| bidossessi | because what happens is that i do get a live connection to the modem, but i can only browse with the dsl0 that the ppp client gives me. the modem doesn't seem to want to proxy for me | 12:29 |
| |ns|nR8 | im on windows atm cause im stuck at my girlfriends place | 12:29 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, i had already found the wiki page in the ubotu message, but it only mentions compile the kernel for the current version you are using, not some other | 12:29 |
| Smegzor | wols, its not public (behind hardware firewall - external router) with no pinhole to it. | 12:29 |
| Smegzor | and its not listening to public ip's | 12:29 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, or do i have to download the packages manually | 12:30 |
| |ns|nR8 | bidossessi in synaptic search for ppp | 12:30 |
| Pici | !ppp | 12:31 |
| ubotu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 12:31 |
| |ns|nR8 | dunno how the modem device set to eth0 will behave | 12:31 |
| bidossessi | |ns|nR8, there you hit the crux of my problem. i need a dialer to get online! | 12:32 |
| |ns|nR8 | search for ppp then | 12:32 |
| |ns|nR8 | in synaptic | 12:32 |
| |ns|nR8 | i think i used kppp | 12:32 |
| |ns|nR8 | have a look | 12:32 |
| |ns|nR8 | im on windows, so i cant look myself | 12:32 |
| bidossessi | synaptic? sorry, not at all familiar with that term. is that the package manager? | 12:33 |
| |ns|nR8 | yep, its in one of the menu's | 12:33 |
| bidossessi | ok, because i need to make sure i have all i need to get online already on the cd before i commit my friend's pc to it | 12:33 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, maybe it's easier to install ubuntu on a external hd or sd card | 12:34 |
| bidossessi | |ns|nR8, so green means it's installed, right. | 12:34 |
| panoman | just upgraded to 7.10 and now the highest resolution my monitor will go is 800x600 | 12:34 |
| |ns|nR8 | yep | 12:35 |
| |ns|nR8 | panoman gotta hate that | 12:35 |
| panoman | yep | 12:35 |
| panoman | now what | 12:35 |
| |ns|nR8 | you have to specify a montitor type i believe in xorg.conf | 12:35 |
| |ns|nR8 | sorry | 12:35 |
| Jordan_U | KenSentMe, It's a good experience to have if you like that sort of thing, but if you don't know what you are doing you could break your current install | 12:35 |
| |ns|nR8 | specify a monitor range | 12:35 |
| bidossessi | did i mention that it was pppoe i use? i see a pppoeconf there. maybe that could help | 12:35 |
| |ns|nR8 | so it knows yoiur monitor can go higher | 12:35 |
| wols | panoman: what vide driver do you use right now? | 12:36 |
| Pici | panoman: just run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh` | 12:36 |
| Pici | panoman: or listen to wols first ;) | 12:36 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, are you referring to the custom kernel build or installing on a flash driver? | 12:36 |
| wols | bidossessi: it does. but if you use pppoeconf you don't use DHCP | 12:36 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, driver=drive | 12:36 |
| Jordan_U | KenSentMe, Custom kernel | 12:36 |
| |ns|nR8 | lol KenSentMe, cool nick | 12:36 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, i know, that's why i'm looking for alternatives | 12:36 |
| |ns|nR8 | i know where that comes from | 12:36 |
| KenSentMe | |ns|nR8, :D | 12:37 |
| m1r0 | hello | 12:37 |

| panoman | I dont know what driver I am somewhat new | 12:38 |
| vreer | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50588/ solved | 12:38 |
| wols | panoman: grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:38 |
| panoman | how do I find out | 12:38 |
| visual | Hello I have another question. Is there a way for me to access fdisk in Ubuntu | 12:39 |
| visual | I tried Windowes | 12:39 |
| bidossessi | |ns|nR8, i need to remove a totally virus-ridden windows system, and i thought it would be a good idea to set ubuntu in it's place, but since i'm an opensuser, i had to check. opensuse was a non-starter for this machine: not enough ram to even start the OS installer (128) | 12:39 |
| panoman | did grep and it said ati | 12:39 |
| visual | Microsoft Method it did not work | 12:39 |
| panoman | the machine is a HP pavilion 5500 | 12:40 |
| Pelle_A | Hej/Hi | 12:41 |
| s0laris | hi | 12:41 |
| JC_Denton_ | Can you install Ubuntu from a USB stick if the machine allows booting from USB? if so, how? | 12:41 |
| dgjones | !install | JC_Denton_ Ubotu has a link for install from USB | 12:41 |
| ubotu | JC_Denton_ Ubotu has a link for install from USB: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 12:41 |
| wols | bidossessi: I wouldn't use ubuntu either on it. use xubuntu or fluxbuntu | 12:41 |
| JC_Denton_ | dgjones, thanks | 12:41 |
| bidossessi | wols, why not? is 128 too low? is there an xfce ubuntu instead? | 12:42 |
| dgjones | !xubuntu | bidossessi | 12:42 |
| ubotu | bidossessi: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels | 12:42 |

| bidossessi | thx folks | 12:43 |
| panoman | 7.4 worked just fine on my machine dang | 12:43 |
| bidossessi | i'm check this out for now | 12:43 |
| m1r0 | could someone recomend fully supported laser color printer/scanner for ubuntu ? | 12:43 |
| s0laris | know somebody where i must put the jakarta httpclient files to use it in my java programm? | 12:43 |
| KenSentMe | How big is a standard ubuntu installation? | 12:45 |
| |ns|nR8 | about 1.2 gig | 12:46 |
| panoman | What does sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh do | 12:46 |
| Jowi_n1 | KenSentMe, but you need a 3G root partition to install it. | 12:46 |
| |ns|nR8 | panoman reprobes your hardware i think | 12:47 |
| wols | it configures X panoman | 12:47 |
| Moniker42 | panoman, i don't know what the -phigh option does but it will reconfigure your X server and present you with lots of questions that can be ignored unless there's something specific you want to change | 12:47 |
| Moniker42 | panoman, for example X doesn't detect my monitor's resolution automatically so i have to run that and skip everything except the resolution section | 12:47 |
| panoman | it will go higher but bad flicker like wrong freq | 12:48 |
| |ns|nR8 | i have to run my crt monitors at, at least 85hz | 12:49 |
| Pici | Moniker42: -phigh just asks you high priority questions, which turn out to be only video related things iirc. | 12:49 |
| |ns|nR8 | or it has unbareable flicker | 12:49 |
| HackerAlert | Thank you so much to the person who helped me | 12:52 |
| HackerAlert | sorry I restarted computer so I don't know who that was | 12:52 |
| HackerAlert | ATi drivers now work! :) | 12:52 |

| platius | panoman, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto you might look here | 12:58 |
| panoman | I changed the resolution and still flicker | 12:58 |
| |ns|nR8 | panoman you must up the refresh rate aswell | 12:58 |
| panoman | thanks for the link will checkit out | 12:58 |
| |ns|nR8 | try 85hz if you have a 17inch crt or bigger | 12:58 |
| |ns|nR8 | flicker is caused by refresh rate, not resolution | 12:59 |
| panoman | its a laptop hp pavilion ze5500 | 12:59 |

| Codenut | Hi everyone! | 13:00 |
| nomic | I have an NVIDIA GEFORCE 7300 GT graphics card and the restricted drivers don't work ... I am thinking of going back to the shop what other brand of graphics card should I choose for best compatibility with UBUNTU? please3 | 13:00 |
| nomic | I.e. what is the best guaranty of compatibility for a brand of graphics card on ubuntu | 13:00 |
| murf3326 | I'm running Ubuntu 7.10. When I shutdown my monitors and PC power-down ok, but my USB devices remain powered. (my Logitech G15 Keyboard remains fully lit). I Googled and found a couple of older Ubuntu/Linux bugs for USB devices remaining powered after shutdown. Anyone know if there is a fix available for this problem? | 13:00 |
| Jordan_U | nomic, Intel integrated | 13:00 |
| tonyyarusso | nomic: Intel has open source drivers :) | 13:00 |
| ciro | ciao | 13:00 |
| Sonja | how to convert .wma to .ogg ?? | 13:01 |
| nomic | intel is a brand of graphics card? | 13:01 |
| nomic | ok | 13:01 |
| nomic | I need an AGP card though | 13:01 |
| ubuser | who can explain me how to share folder which dont belong to home dir using samba? | 13:01 |
| tonyyarusso | Sonja: oggconvert (with w32 codecs) can probably do it | 13:01 |
| JC_Denton_ | does intel provide drivers for its laptop onboard cards so I can finally use my tv out | 13:01 |
| Jordan_U | nomic, Nvidia is pretty good as long as the card is a little more than 6 months old ( or any nvidia card if you are willing to install the drivers from nvidia.com directly ) | 13:01 |
| xobius | Sonja, perhaps konverter do it | 13:01 |
| nomic | jordan I am having problems specificially with an NVIDIA card I want to move away from that | 13:02 |
| Jordan_U | JC_Denton_, You sure you aren't thinking of ATI, I didn't think intel cards had such problems | 13:02 |
| panoman | trying the change monitor sujestion | 13:03 |
| panoman | back in a few | 13:03 |
| JC_Denton_ | Never found any drivers for my onboard... | 13:03 |
| Jordan_U | nomic, There isn't really any better brand ( other than intel, which I understand is not an option ), just try an older card | 13:03 |
| JC_Denton_ | I'll investigate it again soon enough | 13:03 |
| Jordan_U | nomic, Or install the newest nvidia drivers with the current card | 13:03 |
| JC_Denton_ | what command tells me the onboard card details? | 13:03 |
| Aishiko | grep JC_Denton_ | 13:05 |
| JC_Denton_ | Aishiko I'm sure your efforts are genuine but grep won't help me much.. | 13:06 |
| JC_Denton_ | not just grep anyhow... | 13:06 |
| Pici | JC_Denton_: `sudo lshw` will give you a rundown of all your hardware | 13:07 |

| hvesalai | hello everybody. I have a question about wlan. The problem is that after some time, it stops working. /etc/init.d/networking restart fixes it, but is there some way of finding out why it stops working and fixing it so that I don't have to take manual action | 13:22 |
| _mug_ | Avid: kepp the powerbutton pressed | 13:22 |
| hvesalai | I'm already thinking about a script consisting of cron, ping and networking, but I don't think that is the correct way | 13:22 |

| iclebyte | its in there the line that says PATH= each entry is seperated by a ' : ' | 13:32 |
| splitter | using the "ati" driver module, of course. | 13:32 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, i tried using the live cd for testing the webcam driver and it worked. Thanks for your help | 13:32 |
| S4nD3r | is possible to setup ubuntu to startup in text mode?? | 13:32 |
| Jordan_U | KenSentMe, np | 13:33 |
| abhi_ | how do i change $PATH to something i want? | 13:33 |
| Jordan_U | !boot | S4nD3r | 13:33 |
| abhi_ | there is a command for doing that | 13:33 |
| abhi_ | just can't remember | 13:33 |
| ubotu | S4nD3r: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 13:33 |
| Jordan_U | abhi_, export | 13:33 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, but where are all the downloaded packages saved. I dont have that much ram | 13:33 |
| abhi_ | Jordan_U: but that is temporary | 13:33 |
| Jordan_U | KenSentMe, Do you have a swap partition? | 13:33 |
| iclebyte | abhi_, i just told you, /etc/profile | 13:33 |
| abhi_ | Jordan_U: it goes away once u kill that shell | 13:33 |
| KenSentMe | Jordan_U, on the internal hd. Does the livecd use that? | 13:34 |
| abhi_ | iclebyte: how about adding it to bash.bashrc? | 13:34 |
| robertj_ | does anyone have a bug # handy for the nvidia 8600 series redraw problems? | 13:34 |
| Jordan_U | KenSentMe, I think so, I'm not sure though | 13:34 |
| Leechzilla | I put a DVD into my drive and though it says 3.8GB is used on the disc, it's not showing any files.. The same disc shows its contents properly in VMware though.. How do I fix this? | 13:34 |
| iclebyte | abhi_, yea you can do it that way but then the path is only available for that specific user. if you want it system wide for every user then do it in /etc/profile | 13:34 |
| Dr_willis | Leechzilla, you are seeing it in vmware at the same time you are looking at it with the Linux OS? | 13:35 |
| Leechzilla | Dr_willis: Well I just booted VMware right now to check if it works in it. Before that too it wasn't showing up in Ubuntu | 13:35 |
| abhi_ | iclebyte: ok so i add an export $PATH=mypaths1:2:3 to /etc/profile? but where is ubuntu getting the values for $PATH otherwise? i mean how is it set to a default? | 13:35 |
| ^swb^ | sup ubuntu | 13:36 |
| Dr_willis | Leechzilla, could be it wasent getting mounted to the right place, or was not automounting. | 13:37 |
| iclebyte | abhi_, read the /etc/profile file, there is a line in that starts with 'PATH=' just add whatever directory to that list (seperated by ' : ') | 13:37 |
| Leechzilla | Dr_willis: So what do I do to fix it | 13:37 |
| S4nD3r | I dont believe what Ive seen | 13:38 |
| S4nD3r | ubuntu change basic tools of debian | 13:38 |
| S4nD3r | this is a shit | 13:38 |
| Dr_willis | Leechzilla, well check with the 'mount' command to see if its mounted someplace else. if its not mounted at all. You could try mounting it manually. | 13:38 |
| Leechzilla | Dr_willis: It's already mounted | 13:38 |
| Dr_willis | Leechzilla, so wher does the mount command say its mounted to? | 13:38 |
| Leechzilla | Dr_willis: /media/cdrom0 | 13:39 |
| Guilty1 | i can't download any thing using bittorrent :S any ideas | 13:39 |
| Dr_willis | Leechzilla, so you dont see any files in /media/cdrom0 eh? | 13:39 |
| Leechzilla | Dr_willis: yeah | 13:39 |
| chraso | hello chennal | 13:39 |
| abhi_ | iclebyte: there's nothing to do with path in /etc/profile. i think i'll have to manually add an export? right? | 13:39 |
| littlebear72 | ok im no rocket scientist . but im also no dummy i can get 3d workign on my desktop but i cant get flash player working what am i doing wrong i checked the web for the last 3 hours i have 2 sets of hardware here and both are running flash player non free from ubuntu's repository and i still cant get either of them to run flash player in firefox or opera one has opera and the newest install has firefox . i sort of expected firefox and the 7.10 install | 13:40 |

| BB88 | Hello. Does anybody know why I cannot open folders after a period of time on Ubuntu 7.10. I get something like "unable to display contents of folder", and then my desktop has that little egg timer, every now and then? | 13:40 |
| chraso | can i know if i can install ubuntu 7.10 on a free space(not on any present partition but on the disk space) | 13:41 |
| Dr_willis | Leechzilla, interesting... try a 'sudo ls -l /media/cdrom0' perhaps? it may be mounted owned by root. Other then that. Id say unmount it.. and try remounting the cd. | 13:41 |
| Jordan_U | chraso, There is an option specifically for doing that in the installer | 13:41 |
| chraso | if yes how do i? | 13:41 |
| student | I have flashplugin-nonfree installed but I still can't view any flash items in firefox...it tells me that the plugin is still missing | 13:41 |

| dusty-sts | what piece of software can I use to create a bootable .iso in linux? | 13:42 |
| Dr_willis | Leechzilla, well if vmware is stillrunning. it may some how have it locked. | 13:42 |
| Leechzilla | Dr_willis: No it isn't | 13:43 |
| littlebear72 | thanks Jordan_U ill go play with that | 13:43 |
| Dr_willis | Leechzilla, be sure ya got no terminals cd'd to it? I forget the command now to see what may have it being accessed.. lsof /dev/cdrom perhaps. | 13:43 |

| sidelil | excuse me, I'd like to install MythTV on my PC in order to have a media centre. I don't know how to choose either a frontend or a backend installation. Can anyone help me? | 13:44 |

| robdeman | wols: no it seems to be in ~user/Maildir | 13:44 |
| Leechzilla | Dr_willis: Thanks, that command helped me fix it. | 13:44 |
| wols | gsevil: what card is it? | 13:45 |
| wols | gsevil: rather, what chip? | 13:45 |
| Dr_willis | Leechzilla, heh - what command? lsof? that sould of just read who is using the device.. it shouldent of fixed anything. :) Or was it magic! :) | 13:46 |
| Sergemine | Guys. Looks like my ubuntu system stopped working with fixed IP after system update. Anyone heard of this problem ??? | 13:47 |
| Dr_willis | Sergemine, defind 'stopped working' :) | 13:48 |

| Sergemine | Dr_willis, ""Network is unreachable"" iswhat I get when tring to ping computers (when set to use fixed IP) | 13:49 |
| hvesalai | ubotu: hmm... you a bot? I already asked the question some time ago | 13:49 |
| Jordan_U | student, I would just install the non-free flash plugin for FF | 13:49 |
| hvesalai | hello everybody. I have a question about wlan. The problem is that after some time, it stops working. /etc/init.d/networking restart fixes it, but is there some way of finding out why it stops working and fixing it so that I don't have to take manual action | 13:49 |
| Pici | hvesalai: Yes, ubotu is a bot. | 13:49 |
| olskolirc | is there a way I can change my username and still keep my actual account? | 13:49 |

| Guilty1 | i wanna download unbuntu linux but ma download is so slow and i can't order it any ideas ? | 13:49 |
| Tetracomm | Hi. | 13:50 |
| Sergemine | Dr_willis, even my own | 13:50 |
| Jordan_U | student, Have you seen the message from ubotu about the package being broken currently? | 13:50 |
| Dr_willis | Sergemine, try pinging 72.14.207.99 and 'google.com' if Neither work. Sounds like a gateway issue. If the ip works but not the name. its a dns issue. | 13:50 |
| Jordan_U | Guilty1, Why can't you order it? | 13:50 |
| netzmeister | hvesalai: /var/log/syslog ./message ? | 13:50 |
| olskolirc | is there a way I can change my username and still keep my actual account? | 13:50 |

| Guilty1 | Jordan_U coz i live in lebanon in an unkown place they will not know how to transfere it to me :S so any ideas | 13:51 |
| Dr_willis | olskolirc, you mean your linux user? You could make a new user, then copy the other users file over to the new ones home dir. and chown the files. BUT your first initial Ubuntu user is the one that has sudo rights by default. | 13:51 |
| Tetracomm | I installed Windows XP, then Ubuntu afterwards. When I tried to boot into XP after installing Ubuntu, it said: "Error 12: Invalid device request.". | 13:51 |
| Tetracomm | Help? | 13:51 |
| Guilty1 | so Jordan_U ?? | 13:52 |
| olskolirc | oh ok Dr_willis never mind then thanks | 13:52 |
| flamsmark | i'm having some difficulty setting my screen resolution | 13:52 |
| Sergemine | Dr_willis, I have a dhcp server at home, so it works fine there. But no dhcp in office, have set up a fixed IP, or have system set assign it automatically when dhcp request times out. But network doesn't work at all either way | 13:52 |
| Jordan_U | Guilty1, Well if you can't download it and it can't be shipped then you are pretty much SOL unless you can find someone with a faster connection who can send it to you, have you actually tried to see if they can ship to where you live? | 13:52 |
| flamsmark | my laptop screen is natively 1280x768 | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis | olskolirc, its doable. :) just have to be carefull snd dont remove the first user.. | 13:52 |
| Sergemine | Dr_willis, there isn't a gateway as far as I know | 13:53 |
| Jordan_U | flamsmark, What graphics card? | 13:53 |

| ircleuser | Hi guys !! Any of you guys have a VOIP at home working with Ubuntu ? | 13:53 |
| olskolirc | Guilty1 Dell is shipping out Ubuntu already loaded. That's an expensive way to go but, that's another way ubuntu is available. | 13:53 |
| Jordan_U | flamsmark, Do you know if you are using the "intel" driver or the "i810" driver? | 13:53 |
| Sergemine | Dr_willis, any idea ??? | 13:53 |
| flamsmark | i810 | 13:53 |
| flamsmark | jordan_U i810 | 13:54 |
| Jordan_U | olskolirc, Guilty1 I doubt Dell is shipping Ubuntu machines to Lebanon though | 13:54 |
| Jordan_U | flamsmark, Try the intel driver | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | Sergemine, Hmm... well normally theres still a gateway. at an ip like 192.168.1.1 or some smiler low #. I recall an issue where the /etc/resolv.conf can get wrong dns entries. but Not sure where to trouble shoot yoru system. if its on a business network. it could be somthing odd on their end. | 13:54 |
| olskolirc | ohhh ok | 13:54 |
| flamsmark | jordan_u whe i use the intel driver, desktop effects don't work | 13:55 |
| student | Jordan_U, so what should I use if the nonfree isn't working? | 13:55 |
| flamsmark | jordan_u previously, it was working with correct resolution and desktop effects | 13:55 |
| flamsmark | jordan_u and i can't work out how to get it back to that | 13:55 |
| v3ctor | Guilty1: google for a LUG in Lebanon, see if you can find someone locally that has a copy you can use | 13:55 |
| Jordan_U | flamsmark, That is possibly another problem you should fix, but a work around may be to install the package '915resolution' | 13:55 |
| seebs | I have an ubuntu system with three ethernet cards -- built-in nforce and two 8139s. I get unusably bad network performance from the forcedeth and the second 8139. Just as a sanity check, are there any software-level things I should be looking at? | 13:55 |
| === ircleuser is now known as WoooD | ||

| littlebear72 | ok Jordan_U i just got this flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. on both systems i still cant get flash to work on either system what am i missing i just read that whole article with no joy ... any direct advice would be appreciated here im totally confused as to why or what i have missed | 13:56 |
| seebs | It seems very odd to me that the problem would be exactly the same on the forcedeth and the second 8139, making me suspect that it has to do with some software configuration issue, such as a firewall, that I'm not aware of. | 13:56 |

| chef_ | can anyone tell me how to properly install flashplayer? synaptic and/or installing thru firefox says it's installed but won't function | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | Sergemine, I thinkya need to track down someone with a bit more experience with networking, and your companys network. Id hate to give any suggestions that may mess up the network.(unlikely to happen) but it could somthing simple thats changed on the company network. | 13:57 |
| Jordan_U | littlebear72, You are using Ubuntu 7.10 correct? | 13:57 |
| chintan | hello chennal | 13:58 |

| fmanas | you know how use the terminal? | 14:01 |
| Dr_willis | Sergemine, i imagine they got a machine that does a similer job. But heck. for all we know it may be crashed and needs to be reset. | 14:01 |
| Jordan_U | littlebear72, It is broken, it should not be expected to work. To get the newest version of flash download, double click, and install this package ( 32 bit Ubuntu 7.10 only ): http://trogdoor.googlepages.com/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu0.deb | 14:01 |
| Sergemine | Dr_willis, Thank you very much any way. I tend to think it is an ubuntu problem simmilar to that with xserver update so time before | 14:01 |
| chintan | which type ubuntu installs on ext3? | 14:01 |
| fmanas | Better, you've an .deb package of Flash plugin | 14:01 |
| chef_ | v3ctor: ok, I knew there was a way... had installed b4 but then I needed to reinstall... thx | 14:02 |
| Jordan_U | chintan, By default, yes | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | Sergemine, now to TEST that theory - you could try out some of the various live cd's :) done that befor. | 14:02 |
| littlebear72 | cool thanks | 14:02 |
| fmanas | Jordan_U: When was compiled this .deb package? | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | Sergemine, of course just last night here.. the wifes laptop networks stopped working.. turned out it was her network cable that was bad. she had pinched it for so long at a bad angle it broke. | 14:02 |
| littlebear72 | ill go play a while and see what i can get going :) | 14:02 |
| Jordan_U | fmanas, It is from the forum linked to by ubotu | 14:03 |

| Sergemine | Dr_willis, I am afraid that is what I will do eventially. Do not want to go that way as my graphics card is not supported out of the box and once installed the system it is difficult for me to load of the live cd in office as I have to attache another screen for that | 14:05 |
| crush_groove | snurre, try selecting safe graphics mode | 14:05 |
| snurre | same problem | 14:05 |
| crush_groove | snurre ATI? | 14:05 |

| Jordan_U | Vixen_, "sudo umount -a" should unmount all drives ( except things like the CDROM that you are booted from of course :) | 14:07 |
| crush_groove | snurre, and Omer what versions ? | 14:07 |
| HackerAlert | it worked yesterday fine =\ | 14:07 |
| snurre | 7.10, just downloaded | 14:07 |
| chintan | but in the manually partitioning after installation start it doesn't displays any options to create any partition | 14:07 |
| Dr_willis | Sergemine, Hmm. what video card? You could just test the network with a console on a live cd. DSL or PuppyLinux is just a 50 or so mb download to test out. I just take the 'lets elminate everything that it can be' befor digging into ubuntus networking. Heck- It could be a typo in the network settings for all we know. | 14:07 |
| crush_groove | gimme a sec .. looking at forums | 14:08 |
| Omer | crush_groove: kubuntu 7.10, will try to install media center on it, but can't past the blank screen | 14:08 |
| Sergemine | Dr_willis, plus It installed a network printer some time before which the latest version of windows + laters drivers wasn't able to install no metter how much I tried | 14:08 |
| Vixen_ | Jordan_U- I'm looking to only unmount the external HD, since that's where ubuntu will go on my dual boot. I'm not actually sure what unmounting means or does, so I really don't want to damage other drives =[ | 14:08 |
| mohit | ...enterz.... | 14:08 |
| mohit | any geek can help me out!! | 14:08 |
| ubuntuluvr | Vixen_ you can't repartition an unmounted hard drive | 14:08 |
| Paha | Hello, help me please, configure dual-view on my Laptop | 14:08 |
| ubuntuluvr | man for fdisk | 14:08 |
| crush_groove | snurre can you get to a command line ?> | 14:09 |
| snurre | nope | 14:09 |
| snurre | only the boot menu for the livecd | 14:09 |
| Jordan_U | Vixen_, Unmounting is simply the software side of "ejecting", it means that the hard drive is not being read from or written to basically. | 14:09 |
| tristano82 | hello | 14:09 |
| snurre | got a black screen after checking the cd for errors and mem check aswell | 14:09 |
| tristano82 | wtf? | 14:09 |
| Jordan_U | !anyone | mohit | 14:10 |
| ubotu | mohit: 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? | 14:10 |
| Dr_willis | Paha, what video card the lptop is using . will dictate how you configure dual monitors. | 14:10 |
| Omer | crush_groove: getting to a command line is possible with ctrl+alt+f1 | 14:10 |
| tristano82 | damn! | 14:10 |
| Vixen_ | ubuntuluvr, Jordan_U: In that case, I'm really unsure on what to do to make the external HD compatible with ubuntu | 14:10 |
| hvesalai | netzmeister: there are two errors: "wlan0: RX WEP frame with unknown keyidx 0" and "WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported" | 14:10 |
| gsnsr | my wireless card is broadcom, ubuntu recognize it, I see wireless connection in network setting, but I can't turn it on. I pushed the wireless button. It ran normally in windows, can u help me? | 14:10 |
| Omer | crush_groove: but when you press alt+f7 everything goes black again | 14:10 |
| arang2 | hi guys i really hope anyone gives me some help, my samba performance is quite slow, 40 or so megabits when the interaction is between XP and linux, anyone could give me some help about tweaking samba parameters for better speed?? | 14:10 |
| Tetracomm | Could someone help me with this please? | 14:10 |
| hvesalai | netzmeister: ifup wlan0 says also: "WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported", "WEXT auth param 5 value 0x1 -"... BUT the network works now... the problem is that it stops working after some time (I mean hours) | 14:11 |
| Vixen_ | !ask | 14:11 |
| ubotu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 14:11 |
| Paha | When i press function-key i don't see screen on tvset, nvidia GeForce MX | 14:11 |
| Rootsnatch | Hey | 14:11 |
| crush_groove | says here we need to get to /etc/X11 and change driver from nvidea to nv.. | 14:11 |
| Tetracomm | I already asked the question earlier on. | 14:11 |
| nomad111 | when totem starts on my gutsy install my monitor switches off then back on with totem playing the video | 14:12 |
| Paha | i see only 1-2 color rounds and points | 14:12 |
| nomad111 | does anyone have an idea why? | 14:12 |
| arang2 | hi guys i really hope anyone gives me some help, my samba performance is quite slow, 40 or so megabits when the interaction is between XP and linux, anyone could give me some help about tweaking samba parameters for better speed?? | 14:12 |
| Jordan_U | Vixen_, Just run the command I gave "sudo umount -a" Also make sure that you install the bootloader to the external drive if you don't want it installed to the internal drive ( sorry that this is more complicated than it should be :) | 14:12 |
| littlebear72 | ok Jordan_U that worked perfectly thanks | 14:12 |
| Dr_willis | Paha, ive noticed with some laptops the special keys like that work..and with others they dont. Ive also noticed that Depending on the video card. the TV if hooked up WHEN the system boots up.. The TV will be enabled. | 14:12 |
| littlebear72 | now my newinstall works well | 14:12 |
| nomad111 | some useful info: i run a laptop on an external lcd screen | 14:12 |
| Jordan_U | littlebear72, np | 14:12 |
| Dr_willis | Paha, also you proberly need to have the nvidia drivers installed to allow on the fly setting of the tv out and other settings. | 14:12 |
| Vixen_ | Jordan_U: Won't that command unmount all drives? Including internal drives | 14:13 |
| Tetracomm | Windows XO won't boot after I installed Ubuntu. | 14:13 |
| Tetracomm | XP* | 14:13 |
| littlebear72 | on this system im running fiesty fawn 7.06 do you think i could give it a try to see if it might work ? | 14:13 |
| mohit | install grub -- tetracomm | 14:13 |
| ntemis | can i put ubuntu and dual boot with vista? | 14:13 |
| mohit | yes | 14:13 |
| chef_ | could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong/missing? In terminal I type: cd ~/install_flash_player_9_linux so I can install the program but terminal keeps telling me the file and/or directory doesn't exist even though I can see it sitting there on my desktop. What gives? | 14:13 |
| jtt | Tetracomm, lucky you :) | 14:14 |
| mohit | type this chef | 14:14 |
| ^swb^ | chef_, try doing ./install.... | 14:14 |
| ntemis | will i need to do anything special? | 14:14 |
| v3ctor | chef_: ./<installer name> | 14:14 |
| Jordan_U | Vixen_, All except for the CD and any other drives that currently have files open, yes. Or are you not running from a LiveCD? | 14:14 |
| Tetracomm | Grub is installed. | 14:14 |
| mohit | sudo apt-get install <filename> | 14:14 |
| Tetracomm | I can boot into Ubuntu. | 14:14 |
| ^swb^ | if that doesnt work do chmod a+x <filename> first | 14:14 |
| littlebear72 | chef_: are you in the directory that the file is in and are you typeing it case specific ? | 14:14 |
| ^swb^ | then try again | 14:14 |
| arang2 | hi guys i really hope anyone gives me some help, my samba performance is quite slow, 40 or so megabits when the interaction is between XP and linux, anyone could give me some help about tweaking samba parameters for better speed?? | 14:14 |
| Jordan_U | ntemis, Yes | 14:14 |
| Dr_willis | chef_, it is a directory? and yoy are tryign to cd to the HOME DIR with ~ not the Desktop dir | 14:14 |
| Vixen_ | Jordan_U: I'm running from a liveCD, but I want to create a dual boot, so I want to keep everything on my C and D drives | 14:14 |
| Omer | arang2: are you connected through wireless? | 14:14 |
| mohit | follow the steps carefully vixen | 14:15 |
| arang2 | Omer: no direct cable ethernet | 14:15 |
| ubuntu_demon__ | quick question : does the alternate cd support resizing windows partitions ? | 14:15 |
| Omer | arang2: if that's the situation you don't have much choices | 14:15 |
| Vixen_ | I want to create a linux partition on my J: drive | 14:15 |
| Dr_willis | chef_, just use cd /home/USERNAME/Desktop/inst<tab> | 14:15 |
| Tetracomm | mohit, Windows XP is in the GRUB boot list too, but it doesn't load. | 14:15 |
| billy | how do u quick save in emacs? it says C-x but what does that mean? | 14:15 |
| littlebear72 | cd to Desktop | 14:15 |
| Omer | arang2: if not, you can stop logging and etc. to speed it up | 14:15 |
| v3ctor | billy: crtl-x | 14:15 |
| gsnsr | my wireless card is broadcom, ubuntu recognize it, I see wireless connection in network setting, but I can't turn it on. I pushed the wireless button. It ran normally in windows, can u help me? | 14:15 |
| arang2 | Omer: i'm using ethernet 100mbps cat5e | 14:15 |
| Dr_willis | !tab | chef_ | 14:15 |
| ubotu | chef_: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 14:15 |
| billy | C-x C-w | 14:15 |
| billy | v3ctor, cheers | 14:15 |
| mohit | may be its gone from harddisk | 14:15 |
| Omer | arang2: any other pcs connected? | 14:15 |
| mohit | look for the partiton where xp resides | 14:16 |
| Omer | because normally a 100 mbit switch has an internal speed of 100 mbit in total | 14:16 |
| mohit | then google to edit grub and add that partition in grub | 14:16 |
| arang2 | Omer: i have the computers connected directly thru one cable | 14:16 |
| Paha | and special key and set in nvidia-setting not do effect, It is work good in XP | 14:16 |
| Paha | i have driver installed | 14:16 |
| Omer | so when many pcs are connected you might be having a bottleneck | 14:16 |
| arang2 | Omer: these are my socket parms for smb.conf socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 | 14:16 |
| chef_ | wow! thanks guys 4 all the info tho answers are quite different... I'm now somewhat confused | 14:17 |
| Paha | i am set NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver! | 14:17 |
| arang2 | Omer: i'm having the problem with a single cable right now, when i do the XP to XP i get 70 or 80mbps, but from XP to Linux or Linux to XP i get only 40 something | 14:17 |
| Paha | no effect | 14:17 |
| Gnome_ | hello | 14:17 |
| v3ctor | chef_: are you having trouble changin into the directory? | 14:17 |
| arang2 | arang2: i tried the iperf thing between both , i get speeds of 91mbps between both more or less so the problem is with samba, i wanna tweak it to gain more speed | 14:18 |
| grunger | why does ubuntu's website make it difficult for human beings to download a DVD version from the site's download page? | 14:18 |
| arang2 | Omer: i tried the iperf thing between both , i get speeds of 91mbps between both more or less so the problem is with samba, i wanna tweak it to gain more speed | 14:18 |
| Dr_willis | chef_, learning to use the shell.. would show you what you are doing wrong.. you dont cd to ~/whjatever ~ is the HOME DIR. not the Desktop directory | 14:18 |
| Paha | The TV is enable in BISO, in Windows XP it is work | 14:19 |
| Dr_willis | chef_, if you see a thing on the desktop its in ~/Desktop/whatever | 14:19 |
| chef_ | v3ctor: yes, I thought to go to the desktop I should type cd ~/<filename> but I'm guessing that's wrong | 14:19 |
| Dr_willis | chef_, ~ is a shortcut for /home/YOURUSERNAME/ | 14:19 |
| ubuntu_demon__ | quick question : does the alternate cd support resizing windows partitions ? | 14:19 |
| chef_ | Dr_willis:ty, now I understand | 14:20 |
| Jordan_U | Vixen_, I need to sleep, one thing you should know ( sorry for presenting this without a solution, there is one ) is that the bootloader, grub, will be installed on the *internal* drive by default, there is an "advanced" option to change that during the install but it's not intuitive. I would wait to do this until you are talking with someone who truly understands what is going on ( copy and paste this message if need-be ) | 14:21 |
| Jordan_U | before doing this. But then again I am very cautious. Note, this would not be a problem of data loss in any way, but just possibly not being able to boot and requiring a fixmbr from a windows install CD to fix it easily, but you would have to know to do that.... now you do, and now that my rambling is done I am going to sleep :) | 14:21 |
| Dr_willis | chef_, bash basics. :) Its very worth while to spend an hr or so reading a few bash starter guides. Get a good foundation of knowledge to build on. Thats the linux way. | 14:21 |
| Dr_willis | Once you learn the Linux FUNdaMENTALs - the rest is easy. heh.. | 14:21 |
| jtt | ubuntu_demon__, if the alternate has gparted or parted | 14:21 |
| jaggz- | how do I fake that a package is installed? After some fiddling I got a python module installed, but it required some packages of different versions, etc. However, it eventually only worked with some versions not matching up | 14:21 |
| jaggz- | now my package system wants to delete a ton of things, thinking dependencies aren't satisfied | 14:21 |
| sakuramboo | where can i get some of those little ubuntu laptop stickers? the ones that replace the "designed for windows" stickers" | 14:21 |
| simion314 | i hate the flash player plugin for firefox, it crashed and i can't restart it, i have no sound, i hate Adobe | 14:22 |
| Jordan_U | jaggz-, Man dpkg, look at force and depends | 14:22 |
| Omer | arang2: i see, i'm sorry that i haven't experienced any speed problems before | 14:22 |
| littlebear72 | ok im proud to say that the deb you showd me worked for fiesty 7.06 ... it works fantastic for firefox now the last stage to the problem ... how do i get opera to access that plug in ? | 14:22 |
| Omer | i believe it's google that might help you :) | 14:22 |
| Paha | I dont use TV-Out i want enable second monitor to VGA output | 14:22 |
| jaggz- | by the way -- everything I want is installed right now.. I just need to tell it these existing versions are "okay" | 14:22 |
| Omer | but people have written that they had speed problems after upgrades | 14:22 |
| arang2 | Omer: i already tried to google it i just cant find anything definite sadly | 14:22 |
| arang2 | Omer: i did a clean install | 14:22 |
| Jordan_U | littlebear72, It can't without a newer version, which is why this 'fix' has not been added to the default repos :( | 14:23 |
| chef_ | Dr_willis: good idea I agree if I had any documentation... where do I find | 14:23 |
| Dr_willis | chef_, theres litallery 10000's of bash guides/docs out. the 'advanced bash scriptng guide' is in the repos and at tldp.org its worth checking out.. TLDP.org is also worth bookmarking. :) | 14:23 |
| wols | !bash | 14:23 |
| ubotu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 14:23 |
| Dr_willis | chef_, check the bookstores/bargin bin tables at the bookstores for Oriealy's 'using bash' book. its the de-facto book on it. :) its may be online also at places. | 14:24 |
| Dr_willis | chef_, and the url's the bot just posted. | 14:24 |
| littlebear72 | ahh well thanks anyway atleast i have it workign in both 7.10 and 7.06 that fix worked for both it just did not translate to opera .. small price to pay for flash working at all lol and as i have learnt and you have implied it will work in time but just not yet lol thanks again everyone your file Jordan_U worked a treat | 14:24 |
| chef_ | Dr_willis:ty... will check them out | 14:25 |

| chef_ | Dr_willis: Following your advice I sucessfully navigated to the file on my desktop and started the installer but I'm told I'm running installer as a non-root user... should I have typed sudo before the ./<filename> ? | 14:32 |
| arang2 | Omer: gah, have u tested ur speed with the parameters i showed u? | 14:32 |

| Omer | arang2: yes, there is also a slowdown, it says in the config that it should increase speed but it does not work for me, i'm using 7.10 server | 14:33 |

| jaggz- | tar -cf foo.tar.gz dir/ <--- this makes a normal uncompressed tar file, but it mistakenly calls it .gz | 14:38 |
| jaggz- | I think we used to have to do compression like this: tar -cf - dir/ | gzip -c > file.tar.gz :) | 14:38 |
| Dr_willis | now is the time to google for a tar tutorial or 4 :) | 14:39 |
| jaggz- | we still have to with unsupported compression | 14:39 |

| v3ctor | jaggz-: i accidentally copied and pasted someone eleses mess up...oops | 14:40 |
| Dr_willis | _mug, i THINK cursor shadow only works with the default X cursors.. not the fancier gnome/compiz ones | 14:40 |

| jaggz- | Why does my package system say: ii python2.4 2.4.1-0-1 Python 2.4 but software with dependencies are broken, requiring python2.4 (>= 2.3.90) (UNSATISFIED) ? | 14:42 |
| jaggz- | it was through my own fiddling with the system trying to get some software installed which required some python dev tools, but my distro is old and unsupported (and I needed this development to get some important work done -- so I couldn't update my distro) | 14:43 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| jaggz- | so I manually/force installed some python packages, and those overwrote my existing python2.4 stuff, and now tons of things are broken :( | 14:43 |

| chef_ | Dr_willis: sorry 2 keep bothering you but you seem quite knowledgable... installer is asking for the installation path of my browser giving this ex. (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla)... that file doesn't exist but there is a /usr/firefox file... I'm guessing that's the correct one but would like confirmation so I not sticking files any old place & wondering why the app doesn't work | 14:45 |
| jaggz- | yes and no.. there's the older python 2.3 also installed.. and it all worked before with 2.3 and 2.4.. it wasn't until I had to install some -dev packages which were of mismatched versions | 14:45 |
| jaggz- | that I overwrote my 2.4 python and broke everything | 14:46 |
| iblicf | hi , i have installed the pulseaudio using apt-get from the reportery , 7.10 , allmost everything can found there, bu i dont's know how to use it , and seems sth wrong like i can't stop the bell ring of vi / terminal ? | 14:46 |
| v3ctor | jaggz-: i had the original problem you had before, it was because of the symlink to of python to the wrong binary...it pointed to 2.4 instead of 2.5 | 14:46 |

| jaggz- | lol | 14:48 |
| 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. | 14:48 |
| Dr_willis | chef_, that 2nd url the bot posted - has info/links to the 'testing' flash installer package. Use at your own risk. :) but i imagine its safer then using the flash installer. | 14:49 |
| v3ctor | jaggz-: have you tried removing all python packages and starting over? | 14:49 |
| jaggz- | hmm.. perhaps I could force-install the current one, over the existing one, with an option saying it satisfies the other dependencies? | 14:50 |
| v3ctor | you could... | 14:50 |
| jaggz- | I'm a bit hesitant to remove them since I have it working | 14:50 |

| Yodude | wols: the problem is that i don't have the usb with me anymore | 15:24 |
| bakarat | hi, for some reason when i try to write something to an usb stick, it will first cache whatever i want to do, and only once i unmount it, will it start writing, this is _very_ annoying | 15:24 |
| bakarat | what is the reasoning behind this and how can i stop it? | 15:24 |
| YouKnowMe | I'm trying to ssh into my chumby, which doesn't have a password, but I keep getting asked for one. I'm hoping this is a prob with my ssh client. Help? | 15:25 |
| wols | bakarat: mount it synced | 15:25 |
| Dr_willis | bakarat, speed, is the reason. | 15:25 |
| Yodude | pike_: it's not working on any computer i plug it into, wether it was Linux/Mac/Windows | 15:25 |
| bakarat | wols: it automounts, how can i change this? | 15:25 |
| wols | Yodude: what OS does this chumby run? | 15:25 |
| Dr_willis | actually ive sene windows do similer things. :) | 15:25 |
| bakarat | Dr_willis: could you explain? | 15:25 |
| Vlet | YouKnowMe: your chumby? | 15:25 |
| bobbyd | bakarat: the reasoning is that it extends the life of your flash device because if you decide to write wiles and move them around, then delete them etc. you're shortening the life of your device | 15:25 |
| Dr_willis | bakarat, it caches the writes so it can do them all at once in one big write = more efficient. | 15:25 |
| bakarat | Vlet: a rather useless but populair device :) | 15:25 |
| pike_ | Yodude: i have to go sorry. screencast time. good luck | 15:26 |

| bobbyd | bakarat: what's the problem you have with it? | 15:26 |
| Dr_willis | bakarat, also watch out for .Trash type directories getting made when you delete things. | 15:26 |
| poningru_ | whochismo, ah ok here we go thats a rv380 | 15:26 |
| whochismo | i tried to uninstall the restricted drivers (to see if gnome automatically used the free ones) but that was not the case | 15:26 |
| poningru_ | need to do research | 15:26 |
| Yodude | pike_: thanks for the help anyway | 15:26 |
| poningru_ | hold on | 15:26 |
| bobbyd | bakarat: you can force it to write the data by giving it "sync" from the command line | 15:26 |
| Vlet | YouKnowMe: what client are you using? | 15:26 |
| Yodude | so anybody has any ideas ? | 15:26 |
| bakarat | bobbyd: well for one, it takes a longer time then you would expect (since it only starts once you want to stop) and the latter has seemingly broken a flash drive of my m8 | 15:26 |
| bakarat | bobbyd: another mate pulled it out after unmounting, but it was only then starting to write | 15:27 |

| whochismo | poningru, sorry, what do you mean with "r380" is it the version of the driver? | 15:27 |
| bobbyd | bakarat: I'm pretty sure windows does the same when you "safely remove hardware" no? | 15:27 |
| Vlet | YouKnowMe: then I would guess that it's the chumby asking for a password | 15:27 |
| bakarat | bobbyd: i doubt it a bit, since i've always been able to pull it out immediatly in windows, whereas in linux if you have a big file waiting, it will take a long while | 15:28 |
| Dr_willis | windows and its 'safely remove hardware' right now - tells me i can remove my internal SATA drive.. still not sure how. :P | 15:28 |

| poningru_ | whochismo, x600 is just the marketing term of the card | 15:30 |

| coldboot | How do I get rid of it with sysctl? | 16:05 |
| whochismo | anyone know a way to reinstall all the video drivers for ATI? | 16:05 |
| coldboot | whochismo: The proprietary drivers? | 16:05 |
| ikonia | whochismo: why do you want to re-install ? | 16:05 |
| coldboot | Probably because they're shitty and broken, as they always have been, and the acceleration never turns on. | 16:05 |
| Pici | !language | coldboot | 16:05 |
| ubotu | coldboot: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 16:05 |
| whochismo | coldboot, or the free ones, i don't mind, i just want to be able to start gnome | 16:05 |
| imoska | idyllic: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-495877.html | 16:06 |
| whochismo | ikonia, to solve one issue, i reinstalled the restricted drivers, and now i'm not able to start gnome | 16:06 |
| coldboot | Is there seriously anyone else in here but men from the ages of 16 to 50? | 16:06 |
| ikonia | whochismo: so how will re-installing them again fix it | 16:06 |
| coldboot | I don't see why the channel has to be "family friendly" in the puritan sense. | 16:06 |
| whochismo | ikonia, i have tryed that many times | 16:06 |
| valemon | in which repo can I find java runtime environment? | 16:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | coldboot: Please behave | 16:07 |
| whochismo | i've reinstalled the restricted ones and then the free ones, and none worked | 16:07 |
| ikonia | coldboot: thats an offtopic disussion, the rules are "family friendly" | 16:07 |
| coldboot | whochismo: Why is gnome not starting? | 16:07 |
| idyllic | ikonia: thanks, let me digest it first. Will get back as soon as i can | 16:07 |
| ikonia | whochismo you don't install the free ones, they are already part of xorg | 16:07 |
| coldboot | Swearing makes the language colourful. | 16:07 |
| whochismo | coldboot, it happened when i reinstalled the drivers, i don't know why | 16:07 |
| cronik | helle everyone and happy new years | 16:07 |
| coldboot | It's hard to describe ATI's Linux drivers without saying bad words. | 16:07 |
| ikonia | coldboot: please stop, this is not appropriate for a support channel | 16:07 |
| cronik | yea coldboot | 16:07 |
| whochismo | i mean, first i had the restricted drivers installed, with no problems | 16:07 |
| coldboot | whochismo: Yes but what's the error? | 16:07 |
| ikonia | whochismo: , so you have the restricted drivers with no problems | 16:08 |
| whochismo | coldboot, once i put my username and password, it won't load gnome, and takes me back the login screen | 16:08 |
| coldboot | whochismo: You need to tell us some sort of error from /var/log/Xorg.0.log or something. | 16:08 |
| ChrisAshton84 | hi is there a channel specifically for x86_64 support or anyone who knows where to go for support online? | 16:08 |
| loa | <coldboot> yes yes... wait i give you a link | 16:08 |
| ikonia | whochismo: that may not be a driver issue | 16:08 |
| whochismo | i had the restricted, i tried to update them, and then everything started to fail | 16:08 |
| cronik | whochismo: | 16:08 |
| ikonia | whochismo: that could be no disk space, or permission to write to your home dir | 16:08 |
| whochismo | i tryed to uninstall them and install the free ones, but now gnome doesn't start | 16:08 |
| ikonia | whochismo: why did you try to update them | 16:08 |
| cronik | did you ever manage to get in or configure the the username and password? | 16:08 |
| * loa slap coldboot with your mum (CLEAN YOUR ROOM!). | 16:08 | |
| ikonia | whochismo: what free ones, the restricted ones are the ones from ati.com | 16:09 |
| loa | ./usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt | 16:09 |
| coldboot | whochismo: Try to change the driver to vesa by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, just by changing the Driver "fglrx" to Driver "vesa", and try again | 16:09 |
| whochismo | i updated them, because there was an issue regarding the ability to hibernate my computer | 16:09 |
| whochismo | to vesa? let me try | 16:09 |
| coldboot | whochismo: Trying vesa will narrow the problem. | 16:09 |
| idyllic | ikonia: it doesnt work. And i am on 7.10 | 16:09 |
| cronik | hello | 16:09 |
| coldboot | whochismo: Vesa is the most likely to always work | 16:09 |
| whochismo | yes, but | 16:09 |
| ikonia | idyllic: what was the question sorry | 16:09 |
| whochismo | don't you think it's rare | 16:09 |
| coldboot | So anyone know how to knock out a CLOSE_WAIT connection with sysctl? | 16:09 |
| cronik | cco | 16:09 |
| whochismo | that it works perfectly in failsave mode | 16:09 |
| ikonia | coldboot: sysctl won't do that | 16:10 |
| whochismo | and if i choose the normal session, it won't start? | 16:10 |
| coldboot | ikonia: Well someone else said that... | 16:10 |
| coldboot | ikonia: How can I get rid of it? | 16:10 |
| idyllic | my Ctrl-Alt-Backspace reboots my comp, but not restart X | 16:10 |
| ikonia | coldboot: I do'nt see how it could do that | 16:10 |
| whochismo | ok, i'll try that and i'll come back | 16:10 |
| poningru_ | whochismo, do you have the restricted stuff uninstalled? | 16:10 |
| whochismo | see you (and thnx) | 16:10 |
| ikonia | coldboot: what is the process making that close wait ? | 16:10 |
| coldboot | ikonia: I killed some process on my machine "xeon" which has nfs-kernel-server running. | 16:10 |
| whochismo | poningru_, yes, i've nothing installed now | 16:10 |
| whochismo | (well, I have the free drivers installed, but they don't work) | 16:10 |
| coldboot | ikonia: Now any attempt to mount a drive that's on xeon, from "inspiron", results in a timeout. | 16:10 |
| ikonia | coldboot: where any clients connected ? | 16:10 |
| whochismo | (or only work in failsave) | 16:11 |
| poningru_ | whochismo, just do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver-core | 16:11 |
| ikonia | coldboot: if you have killed the NFS server, it will time out | 16:11 |
| poningru_ | or something like that | 16:11 |
| poningru_ | I forgot the exact command | 16:11 |
| whochismo | i think i did some days ago... | 16:11 |
| coldboot | ikonia: No clients are connected now, I suspect all these close_waits are from me not unmounting nfs volumes before shutting down my laptop. | 16:11 |
| v3ctor | coldboot: yes it is | 16:11 |
| ikonia | coldboot: that is a reasonable assumption | 16:11 |
| whochismo | it lets me select again the screen resolution, driver, frequency, etc etc... but that doesn't solve anything | 16:11 |
| siakattackj | I have a laptop toshiba A210 with soundcard ATI SB600 azalia but i don't have sound...any help? | 16:11 |
| jdh6403 | trying to play a dvd in gxine and this error message comes up what do i need to do? No demuxer found - stream format not recognised. | 16:12 |
| whochismo | isn't there a place where the error messages regarding the X11 are shown? | 16:12 |
| Pici | !dvd > jdh6403 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 16:12 |
| coldboot | ikonia: v3ctor: But that's not really a problem, 'cause I've shutdown my laptop so many times without unmounting the nfs volumes. It started timing out after I killed a process on the machine with the nfs volumes: "xeon"... | 16:12 |
| v3ctor | coldboot: is the NFS share still showing as mounted on the client? | 16:12 |
| poningru_ | whochismo, do that again | 16:12 |
| coldboot | ikonia: v3ctor: Do you know how I could recover from this without rebooting xeon? | 16:12 |
| whochismo | i would like to see what really happens when i start session and x11 restarts itself.. | 16:12 |
| Pici | whochismo: /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:12 |
| poningru_ | and this time dont do the -plow | 16:12 |
| kakashi | I have a problem configuring my network please help | 16:12 |
| whochismo | ok, let me see | 16:12 |
| poningru_ | let it autodetect | 16:12 |

| Bollinger | i've got a box which is seeing (random) access violations in dmsg, I've run a memory tester for a while with no errors detected. Is there another tool I could run which would detect flaky hardware? | 16:13 |

| kakashi | ikonia: can you please help me | 16:13 |
| poningru_ | kakashi, whatsup? | 16:13 |
| Bollinger | poningru_: Thanks . I'll look into it. | 16:13 |
| whochismo | too much things on the log, i'll try to reconfigure the X11 again.. | 16:14 |
| loa | <coldboot> /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt | 16:14 |
| v3ctor | coldboot: is the close_wait showing on the client or the server? | 16:14 |
| loa | there you can find how to decrease this time out | 16:14 |
| coldboot | loa: You've already told me about sysctl, could you tell me how it's used to knock out close_wait connections? | 16:14 |
| coldboot | v3ctor: Several on the server, all the old IP addresses of inspiron each time it connected to the network. | 16:14 |
| coldboot | v3ctor: But this is probably not the problem, I killed a process on the server, and now I time out when mounting NFS. | 16:15 |
| kakashi | poningru: ah!! thanks | 16:15 |
| v3ctor | coldboot: restart the process that you killed | 16:15 |
| Roshev | ##level | 16:15 |
| kakashi | poningru: it worked ;-D | 16:15 |
| scott_ | Helllo World. | 16:15 |
| coldboot | v3ctor: Do you know how to restart NFS completely, 'cause /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart, and restarting nfs-common, both do nothing to help. | 16:15 |
| coldboot | v3ctor: I don't remember which process it was. | 16:15 |

| === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde | ||
| shaft0 | If I do a software RAID0 (or Linear) setup in Gutsy, and I want to add drives to that array in the future, will the added drives have to be the same size? Like can I start it out with 2x500, then add a 300, or a 750, or 1000? | 16:17 |
| JC_Denton_ | Not bothered - any util though fdisk is fine | 16:17 |
| coldboot | Chui: How long should this command take to return? | 16:17 |
| hades[nb] | cgs_bob, aptitude show <package_name> | 16:17 |
| Chui | coldboot: immediately ;-) | 16:18 |
| poningru_ | shaft0, any partition of that size will do | 16:18 |
| poningru_ | the 500gb | 16:18 |
| ikonia | shaft0 raid0 is a bad idea more so to use dynamiclly | 16:18 |
| loa | <coldboot> sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 10 | 16:18 |
| ikonia | shaft0: what reason do you want raid0 ? | 16:18 |
| Muppet-Boy | hiya, my kubuntu 7.10 system has started freezing for no reason :( is there a log i can check that might give a clue as to why? | 16:18 |
| cgs_bob | hades[nb]: I was looking for a command line, but I will try aptitude show...thanks! | 16:19 |
| ikonia | Muppet-Boy: syslog, messages ? | 16:19 |
| coldboot | Chui: Still timing out, didn't help at all. | 16:19 |
| coldboot | Chui: I suspect the same happens when you restart nfs-kernel-server. | 16:19 |
| poningru_ | JC_Denton_, I would do fdisk and do m | 16:19 |
| JC_Denton_ | poningru will fdisk write a single partition as vfat? | 16:19 |
| poningru_ | it should have ability to change it to vfat | 16:19 |
| JC_Denton_ | poningru thanks | 16:19 |
| poningru_ | JC_Denton_, yeah | 16:19 |
| Chui | coldboot: is portmapper running ? | 16:19 |
| Muppet-Boy | ikonia : do you mean syslog.log? | 16:19 |
| coldboot | loa: That command says it's malformed, you can't space out the '=' symbol | 16:19 |
| hades[nb] | cgs_bob, don't quite understand... you need a console command, right? | 16:19 |
| ikonia | Muppet-Boy: ye, | 16:19 |
| poningru_ | JC_Denton_, you have to do mkfs.vfat afterward though | 16:19 |
| ikonia | yes | 16:20 |
| shaft0 | ikonia: basically i have drives of music, video, and software, i like the idea of using free space of one drive for another, while still keeping it sorted | 16:20 |
| loa | <coldboot> sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=10 | 16:20 |
| coldboot | Chui: Yes and it's been restarted which didn't help either. | 16:20 |
| ikonia | shaft0: then look at lvm | 16:20 |
| loa | this command fixes long timeout | 16:20 |
| ikonia | shaft0: rather than raid0 | 16:20 |
| shaft0 | linear? | 16:20 |
| loa | it will be 10 seconds | 16:20 |
| coldboot | loa: Is this going to apply to old close_wait connections, or only new ones formed? | 16:20 |
| Muppet-Boy | ok thanks i will check as soon as i can get to it! (its just gone offline again :( ) | 16:20 |
| Roshev | ##level | 16:20 |
| Chui | coldboot: what is your prob anyway ? ;-) too lazy to scroll up | 16:20 |
| loa | <coldboot> i think to all | 16:20 |
| ikonia | shaft0: what do you mean by linear ? | 16:20 |
| cgs_bob | hades[nb]: that's right. in particular I want to see what programs depend on sip4 | 16:20 |
| loa | tyr this | 16:20 |
| loa | try | 16:20 |
| shaft0 | ikonia: is that the one that fills one drive, moves on to the next, then fills that drive, then moves to the next, and so on? | 16:20 |
| coldboot | loa: Is that 10 minutes or seconds? | 16:21 |
| ikonia | shaft0: you can set up the volume as you want | 16:21 |
| loa | i think you can try ifdown | 16:21 |
| coldboot | Chui: I killed some process on my server, xeon, which exports some directory as nfs. | 16:21 |
| loa | 10 seconds | 16:21 |
| coldboot | Chui: Ever since I did that, I time out when trying to mount the nfs volume from the client. | 16:21 |
| ikonia | coldboot: it would help if you stopped saying the server name as the name is quite confusing | 16:21 |
| timrit | Hello, Does anyone know why every time I log in after a restart or logout that it asks me if I want to use X settings or Gnome settings? | 16:21 |
| v3ctor | coldboot: did you kill that process for a reason? | 16:21 |
| hades[nb] | cgs_bob, you mean list programs that depend on the given one, or list programs, that the given one depends on? | 16:21 |
| coldboot | Chui: Restarting nfs-kernel-server, nfs-common, portmap, and doing the sysctl and your export -rav have all not helped at all. | 16:21 |
| coldboot | v3ctor: I thought it would help get rid of the stale connection, it was obviously a mistake. | 16:22 |
| Chui | coldboot: exportfs -uav ; and stop nfs-kernel server | 16:22 |
| JC_Denton_ | poningru mkfs.vfat: Will not try to make filesystem on full-disk device '/dev/sdb' (use -I if wanted) ? | 16:22 |

| Chui | coldboot: ghighi... had it comin ;-) | 16:25 |
| onizeth_ | hello | 16:25 |
| ikonia | coldboot: you don't know what you've done so it's easier to put the machine back to a known status | 16:26 |
| coldboot | ikonia: I can't, this machine is remote and I don't know if it will come back up. | 16:26 |
| shaft0 | ikonia: basically what you're saying is that using LVM I can essentially mount all my drives to one location (say /media/disk) and then add disks as needed? | 16:26 |
| ikonia | coldboot: then you should treat things with more respect than killing processes and not knowing what you've done | 16:26 |
| Oli`` | is it possible to give ext3 partitions names like ntfs ones? | 16:26 |
| coldboot | ikonia: Surely there's a way to get nfs to completely restart. | 16:26 |
| ikonia | shaft0: correct | 16:26 |
| coldboot | ikonia: That is obvious now. | 16:26 |
| ikonia | coldboot: there are many but as you don't know what you've done | 16:26 |
| shaft0 | ikonia: awesome, sounds like a whole lot less setup and work than I was looking at :D | 16:26 |
| ikonia | coldboot: and if you're not sure if the box will come back up | 16:26 |

| Marfi | DanB, there is a checksum if you download flash from the repositories. if you click the flash file on the net, firefox will direct you to the install from adobe's site. install from there, and works lke a charm | 16:50 |
| Marfi | mike4785, avant-window-manager | 16:50 |
| RedHeron | Marfi: not necessarily | 16:50 |
| mike4785 | u know how apple has those icons on the bottom that are shortcuts to programs/ in the right it is also the windows you have open | 16:50 |

| bitterbug | gpalco: just format a partition/drive and copy your home folder contents to it, then once you've installed ubuntu just remap home to that drive | 17:09 |
| evgeniXXX | Filled-Void, I am not sure, but under "ubuntu software" tab in Software Resources window at the bottom it says, "Cdrom with Ubuntu 7.10 'Gutsy Gibbon' Officially supported" with a check next to it | 17:10 |

| bitterbug | you can do it during the install, or leave it until after you've installed and just change the home location then | 17:13 |
| Filled-Void | evgeniXXX, Try deselectign one and thenr eselectign ti and close that window and see fi it asks you to reload | 17:13 |

| Filled-Void | mightybyte, I dont think that the repositories would vary for the different install you used. I used the DVD install thought So im not sure if that caused it | 17:20 |
| taxman | MGalaxy: I only use gimp for that, so I don't know what to tell you. Like I said, it will work | 17:20 |
| mightybyte | Filled-Void, I have updated, so I would think that it shouldn't matter which CD I used. | 17:20 |
| Filled-Void | evgeniXXX, You would use apt-cache search to search for you rpackages and apt-get update to get updates. | 17:20 |

| DanB | i have it downloaded | 17:26 |

| Filled-Void | DanB, Downloaded? from where? | 17:26 |

| Kuropon | lukewarm, you'll need to elaborate pls | 17:26 |
| Filled-Void | taxman, Im looking for an easy way also I used aptoncd till now | 17:27 |
| lukewarm | !vmware | 17:27 |
| 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.

| mightybyte | Filled-Void: I did apt-cdrom add | 17:27 |
| sluimers | DanB, how hard can it be? at most it's ./configure, make, make install, right? | 17:27 |
| Filled-Void | mightybyte, And you updated your package list? | 17:27 |
| lukewarm | Kuropon, ..googling... | 17:27 |
| Nicolaidis | Filled-Void: is this a common problem??? | 17:27 |
| mightybyte | Filled-Void: Not sure. Running apt-get update now. | 17:27 |
| Filled-Void | Nicolaidis, is it working now? | 17:27 |
| DanB | i downloaded the tar.gz file | 17:27 |
| Filled-Void | mightybyte, Why i ask is cause both of those packages are on my dvd | 17:28 |
| mightybyte | Filled-Void: It seems like synaptic is only displaying packages that have graphical interfaces. | 17:28 |
| P_Kable | Filled-Void>> no output, only an error message "Failed to open file..." | 17:28 |
| Filled-Void | DanB, Why not install it from the repositories | 17:28 |
| Filled-Void | P_Kable, Avi ? | 17:28 |
| Nicolaidis | Filled-Void:i've installed it...it says that deamon does't work | 17:28 |

| P_Kable | Filled-Void>> avi & mpeg | 17:28 |
| mightybyte | Filled-Void: Yeah. I have installed openssh now, but it's still not visible in synaptic. | 17:28 |
| taxman | DanB: why not just use synaptic to install it? | 17:28 |
| Filled-Void | mightybyte, :( let me check one more thing brb | 17:29 |

| DanB | ok i guess i have that figured out.but i still cant watch flash video online | 17:30 |

| Filled-Void | P_Kable, For some reason i recall the same issue somewhere however I cant pinpoint it. I think there was changing x11 to something try a search for x11 mplayer cannot play avi Im sure it involved changing x11 to xv something | 17:32 |
| crush_groove | Huhnz0r, no | 17:32 |
| rafi | <Arelis> whats you resolution right now ? | 17:33 |

| crush_groove | Huhnz0r, each distro builds on the last 1 with upgrades . if you skip from dapper to fiesty you may not have some libs or dependencys that fiesty needs that were in egdy . | 17:34 |
| Arelis | rafi: alright. | 17:34 |
| taxman | DanB: do you have sound for other things? | 17:34 |

| rafi | <Arelis> I think beryl does what you looking for | 17:36 |
| taxman | qolo: np | 17:36 |
| Arelis | rafi: i can't use that. I'd have to use xgl for that, but it's unstable. | 17:36 |
| Filled-Void | P_Kable, :( What was the exact error message you were getting and if it is big please use pastebin | 17:36 |
| crush_groove | sheesh this samba is just what I need I think | 17:37 |

| jakel1 | errr.... linux as well | 17:43 |
| Clearzen | crush_groove: I've been looking at virtual box too. Do you know if it is any good? | 17:43 |

| mightybyte | Filled-Void: Oh, I feel stupid. I just realized that I wasn't using synaptic. I was just using the "Add/Remove" option from the Applications menu. | 17:44 |
| Clearzen | crush_groove: thanks | 17:44 |

| evgeniXXX | thank you , i will look there | 17:47 |

| Filled-Void | evgeniXXX, Try the path Clearzen suggested I might be wrong here | 17:48 |

| devilsadvocate | vee_ , for normal usage minimal swap will do. but hibernation might not be possible without swap> ram | 18:00 |
| devilsadvocate | ijn, i'm not sure, but i dont think so | 18:00 |
| devilsadvocate | people use latex to make presentations, if you want :| | 18:00 |
| vee_ | devilsadvocate would i be ok with 5gb swap or should i go for more then | 18:00 |
| ijn | anything that is not a whole package | 18:00 |

| devilsadvocate | vee_, hibernation is the only problem you will have. if not even 1 gb of ram is more than sufficinet | 18:02 |

| devilsadvocate | cheeby, there were some widgets with compiz fusion. I dont know any details though | 18:03 |
| [unix] | vee_: no, you need 4 Gb swap or more to hiber | 18:03 |
| cheeby | running compiz here. | 18:03 |
| devilsadvocate | vee_, no. Hibernation basically puts all your ram onto the swap, so you will need >4gb | 18:03 |

| barbarella | jakel1:look at line 39/42 in menu.lst | 18:27 |
| whochismo | rexy, but how? i've been trying for more than an hour | 18:27 |
| cheatr | Filled-Void: No problem. I'm not in irc often, but you can look me up on the forums (cheater) and send me an email if you want more help | 18:27 |
| jakel1 | yes..... | 18:27 |
| whochismo | in every tutorial that i've read, they end up changing to the restricted drivers.. | 18:27 |
| jakel1 | ok | 18:27 |
| Filled-Void | Thanks . you ar eon ubuntuforums right? | 18:27 |
| rexy | whochismo: not sure, there's a wiki about it i think | 18:28 |
| barbarella | jakel1:line 40 must be: root (hd0,1) | 18:28 |
| rexy | whochismo: i got it working using the open source driver, what video card do you have? | 18:28 |
| Filled-Void | jason___, Thersa very basic guide to themeing here at tuxenclave.wordpress.com | 18:28 |
| cheatr | Filled-Void: Yeah, cheater on ubuntuforums | 18:28 |

| bluefox83 | Jakal, first partition of first hard drive...that's what that notation means | 18:29 |

| jakel1 | then what is hd0,0? | 18:29 |
| rexy | whochismo: should work i'd say, got any usefull errors in X log? | 18:29 |
| cheatr | rich__: unmount the device/drive | 18:29 |

| Filled-Void | jakel1, First partitino on first drive | 18:30 |
| whochismo | if I run the "compiz" command, I get: Checking for Xgl: not present. | 18:30 |
| jason___ | thanks DR and Void | 18:30 |
| jason___ | i will look this afternoon i have bookmarked the info | 18:30 |
| jakel1 | Filled-Void i thought hd0,1 was first partition on first drive | 18:30 |
| Filled-Void | AFAIK drive and partition numbering starts from 0 might want to confirm | 18:30 |
| bluefox83 | jake_, uhm...either boot sector or first partition of first drive, and hd0,1 is second partition of first drive...i don't know if it starts counting at zero for both partition and drive... | 18:31 |
| whochismo | rexy: plus "Blacklisted PCIID '1002:5462' found" and "aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity" (nothing else) | 18:31 |
| rich__ | then what do i do? | 18:31 |
| MasterShrek | Filled-Void, in grub they do, in the os they start at 1 | 18:31 |
| jakel1 | so i want to replace hd0,0 with hd0,1 ? | 18:31 |
| Filled-Void | MasterShrek, Thanks I need to check that up more I still have this weird WIndows XP and Ubuntu dual boot problem on a sata and ide | 18:31 |

| jakel1 | back to where i started | 18:36 |
| nownot | anybody here good with wireshark i can pm for help? | 18:36 |
| rexy | your syntax is incorrect, also dont paste | 18:36 |
| jakel1 | it doesn't even show grub | 18:36 |
| MasterShrek | !grub | 18:36 |
| ubotu | 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 | 18:36 |
| MasterShrek | jakel1, follow the first link | 18:36 |
| rexy | nownot: just ask here or in the wireshark channel if there is one? | 18:36 |
| jakel1 | MasterShrek: i did those steps | 18:37 |
| MasterShrek | jakel1, also it may be wise to write or draw out your partition scheme so you dont get confused when setting up | 18:37 |
| nownot | if i want to use wireshark but only for specific ports ie traffic in and out of 192.168.2.7 what would the command look like | 18:37 |
| MasterShrek | jakel1, well obviously you didnt if grub doesnt load, windows still "owns" the mbr | 18:38 |
| stoone | nownot: try the filter: tcp.port == xy | 18:38 |
| jakel1 | well after i did it linux started up | 18:38 |
| jakel1 | but the bootloader never came up | 18:38 |
| MasterShrek | hmm | 18:38 |
| jakel1 | and i went to edit the menu.lst file | 18:38 |
| grep100 | anytime you install windows, any windows product or reinstall windows it will overwrite the mbr and you will lose access to grub | 18:39 |
| mike4785 | hey everyone | 18:39 |
| mike4785 | does anyone here use netbeans? | 18:39 |
| Trae | can Ubuntu open rar files by default? (and if so what tool can) and if not is there an easy UI to do it? | 18:39 |
| rexy | nownot: there are some examples if you click on the filter button, something with port == <portnumber> iirc | 18:39 |
| MasterShrek | !rar | Trae | 18:39 |
| PurpZeY | Trae: Yes. | 18:39 |
| PurpZeY | Trae: It's called file roller | 18:39 |
| jakel1 | ok...well screw grub... is there a way to use windows bootloader instead | 18:39 |
| nownot | im doing straight gui b/c im on ubuntu server | 18:39 |
| iOn|FuXeD | Trae rar is in the repo, not installed by default | 18:39 |
| MasterShrek | jakel1, its much harder than using grub | 18:39 |
| ubotu | Trae: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 18:39 |
| MasterShrek | i dont eve know if its possible | 18:39 |
| mike4785 | everytime i install it, it will load fine but then when the gui opens up its grey but i can still use it i.e. i can open up a new file | 18:39 |
| grep100 | yes actually you can use the windows boot loader to load linux | 18:40 |
| MasterShrek | jakel1, you are better off using grub, its not that hard, you probably missed something | 18:40 |
| jakel1 | MasterShrek, well it is very hard... if followed the steps exactly for about 3 hrs now, and it's not working | 18:40 |
| mike4785 | does anyone here use netbeans? | 18:40 |
| mike4785 | everytime i install it, it will load fine but then when the gui opens up its grey but i can still use it i.e. i can open up a new file | 18:40 |
| Pici | mike4785: You might want to make sure that you are using java5 or java6 and not the gcj java. | 18:41 |
| jakel1 | i changed the menu.lst to hd0,1 and now it's only booting windows | 18:41 |
| mike4785 | is this a error with netbeans or with my graphics card? | 18:41 |
| mike4785 | j | 18:41 |
| mike4785 | k | 18:41 |
| sofbored | MasterShrek: sorry for insisting but the last line in my bash_profile reads a bit different. It doesn't export it | 18:41 |
| Trae | !unrar-free | 18:41 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about unrar-free - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:41 |
| Pici | mike4785: if you have the java packages installed, you can do `sudo update-alternative --config java` to change it. | 18:41 |
| MasterShrek | sofbored, iirc, i always had export in there... | 18:41 |
| grep100 | to use the windows bootloader, which I don't recommend, all you have to do is edit the boot.ini file in windows, you need to learn the arcpath syntax but its not very difficult | 18:42 |

| coldboot | Gentoo is too much. | 19:02 |
| vee_ | Xintruder should you always label drives when partitioning? | 19:02 |
| coldboot | All that time you spend fiddling with your system is more than the time you save waiting for a program that's sub-optimally compiled. | 19:02 |
| PurpZeY | Xintruder: I was unhappy with the software collection for controlling webcams, personally...but that is just my opinion | 19:02 |

| PurpZeY | Arelis: Oh, my mistake | 19:25 |
| WorkingOnWise | Arelis: ok. I always treat Windows on a vm as a way way last resort, so I'll always recommend native-ish solutions too...but if u gotta use Windows, in a vm is the best place to do it, IMHO | 19:25 |
| mib_ck8hc77C | ? | 19:25 |

| cheatr | Hello. I've decided to create Devbuntu. A custimized version of Ubuntu Gutsy aimed at developers. In order to do this, I need to put together a decent list of programming apps. If you have any suggestions, please post in the thread on the forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=656325). Also, if anyone is creative, devbuntu also will need some artwork. If you could either make some artwork or hunt down some on gnome | 19:32 |
| cheatr | -look that looks good, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot | 19:32 |

| cheeby | bullgard4, good to hear. for whatever reason, Evolution stuggles from this location, unable to write to imap folders, or connect to smtp servers and eventually crashes. Glad you like it - it looks pretty slick. | 19:32 |
| PurpZeY | Amaranth: Interesting, I thought that's where I got it | 19:32 |
| apocalypti | i just lost all internet access in ubuntu. i think its a software issue, as i can get online on all my other boxes and from winxp, which i have installed on that same box. any help would be appreciated. | 19:33 |
| PurpZeY | rodolfo: Amaranth is, uhm, the man, if he says awn is better, use awn | 19:33 |
| apocalypti | also sorry about the caps before | 19:33 |

| Nebular | I just installed apache2. when I go to localhost on the machine, I get apache2-default and users folders. what I would like to do is get a directory listing of my home folder, but I can't find out how to configure that | 19:33 |
| Amaranth | PurpZeY: Unless kiba has gotten spectacularly better recently it crashes way too much for the few extra effects you get over awn | 19:34 |
| PirateHead | cheatr: A customized version of Ubuntu for developers? Why? Developers are usually savvy enough to set up their own dev environments, and snobbish enough to want only what they need and not a bunch of stuff they'll never use. | 19:34 |
| bullgard4 | cheeby: What you are reporting seems to me due to a more general networking problem on your second site. | 19:34 |
| rodolfo | Amaranth: what about this awn? | 19:34 |
| PurpZeY | Amaranth: They have solved the crashing problems, but, I have never used awn to compare. . . | 19:34 |
| Amaranth | PirateHead: Not snobbish, I still have ubuntu-desktop installed even though I don't use half the stuff :) | 19:34 |
| unagi | i just wish the themese were moer customizable | 19:35 |
| amorphous_ | anyone know the name of the gnome resolution manager app? | 19:35 |
| cheatr | PirateHead: The idea is to have it in a livecd environment. That way, you just burn 1 disk and have access to all the programs you need from any computer. | 19:35 |

| PirateHead | cheatr: Why would developers want to run their dev environment from a liveCD? The whole point is to save edits to the project, right? | 19:35 |
| PurpZeY | apocalypti: No no, open a terminal and run the command ifconfig then run the command iwconfig then copy all that into a pastebin so I can read it | 19:35 |

They could also plug in a flash drive or browse the local hard drive to find the files they need. This project wasn't my idea. I just volunteered to create it | 19:37 |

| cheatr | PireHead: It isn't ideal. I admit that. But I know that I'm often using computers other that my own. Most of them are running windows. Since they are not my computer, I am not able to install any programs on it. So even though I can access my files(if they are on a flash drive), I can't compile/execute them.

| unagi | does ubuntu default to 32x32 icons or scalable or what | 20:23 |
| dfcarney | isaac_: what do you mean "viewport"? | 20:23 |
| xtas | hmm, which is better xmms or xmms2 | 20:23 |
| the_empty | EtteSB, 'find ./ -iname '*.ogg -exec lame (((your bitrate options etc here))) {} {}.ogg \' ' should work if you don't mind running `rename 's/\.ogg\.mp3/.mp3/ *.ogg.mp3` afterwards.... I'd try it in a small test dir first though | 20:23 |
| Roly | what game? | 20:23 |
| silent_ | PurpZeY: no, the output is normal | 20:23 |
| dfcarney | isaac_: do you mean that the display is twice as wide as your screen width? | 20:23 |
| isaac_ | dfcarney, the visible section on the screen | 20:23 |
| silent_ | Hestv4: Is the motherboard old? | 20:23 |
| Roly | or in ubuntu general | 20:23 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: you have no connectivity on the router at all? | 20:24 |
| verb3k | kazol__, try asking in the Wine IRC channel | 20:24 |
| EtteSB | the_empty: thanks ill give it a go | 20:24 |
| the_empty | EtteSB, please be sure to test first | 20:24 |
| Hestv4 | silent_: from june | 20:24 |
| dfcarney | isaac_: how comfortable are you working on the command line? all of the settings are in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:24 |
| the_empty | EtteSB, don't want to be responsible for hosing your collection ;) | 20:24 |
| dfcarney | isaac_: at least, they should be :) | 20:24 |
| Hestv4 | silent_: time for bios upgrade I think | 20:24 |
| EtteSB | the_empty: will do. anyway its all from CD's :3 | 20:24 |
| isaac_ | dfcarney, I think X calls them screens. I have my main X bit viewable at the moment, but if I move my mouse off the right hand edge, I'm controlling a VNC server which I've used x2vnc to put there. I can see the mouse move on the other computer. | 20:24 |
| isaac_ | s/server/client | 20:25 |
| apocalypti | PurpZeY, silent_: i dont see anything horribly wrong with anything either, should I try putting a livecd in to see if its just the way my network card is now working with ubuntu for some reason? | 20:25 |
| PurpZeY | silent_: My most recent update on it was the one you caught, that he couldn't even ping it | 20:25 |
| silent_ | Hestv4: That would be my next move... no guarantee it will work, however. Does the card at least display your POST? | 20:25 |

| dfcarney | isaac_: ah, gotcha. i've never played around with x2vnc before, so i'm not sure what the issue could be. | 20:25 |
| apocalypti | silent_: no, i dont | 20:25 |
| Hestv4 | silent_: nope, nothing. It just gets warm... everything shown on the onboard crap. | 20:25 |
| silent_ | PurpZeY: I'm guessing the ip isn't 0.1 then, one sec | 20:25 |
| Muskie | cool, will do that then | 20:25 |
| xkarimx | hye! may i know how to enable WU-FTPD on my Ubuntu? thanxs | 20:25 |
| dfcarney | isaac_: if you're willing to tinker with xorg.conf then you'll probably fix your problem, however. just back it up first. | 20:26 |
| silent_ | Hestv4: sounds like incompatibility, bios error, or a dead card, flash, then try to test the card on another system (or bring it to a repair shop or somesuch) | 20:26 |
| dfcarney | isaac_: are you using an ATI card? nVidia? | 20:26 |
| kr4z1e | have question... i am trying to get the cisco vpn client to work on ubuntu gutsy anybody have any ideas? | 20:26 |
| isaac_ | dfcarney, alright, I might. There's nothing in-built to switch between screens 0 and 1? | 20:26 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: what model is the router? | 20:26 |
| apocalypti | silent_: its .0.1, i cant acces .1.1 from anywhere. | 20:26 |
| Hestv4 | silent_: just received it brand new today... | 20:26 |
| silent_ | Hestv4: cards can die in transport. It is rare, but it can happen | 20:27 |
| Tonren | Can anyone suggest a good, simple wiki to use for personal notetaking on a laptop? Something that's a little extensible, with some pretty markup options, but not too much overkill in features? | 20:27 |

| silent_ | either to the store, or to your house | 20:27 |
| apocalypti | silent_: its a d-link EBR-2310 | 20:27 |
| isaac_ | dfcarney: Yeah, at least I think so :) | 20:27 |
| dfcarney | isaac_: if so, that's a good question. i wouldn't be surprised if there's a way to do it... has google tured up anything? | 20:27 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: default ip for d-link is 192.168.0.1... are you on wired?.. is that router wireless? | 20:27 |
| isaac_ | dfcarney, well I'm kind of working out exactly what I want as I go. I'll search now | 20:28 |

| anton__ | how to mount a .bin-file in ubuntu? | 20:29 |
| jaggy | brb | 20:29 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: when on the router, type "route" in terminal | 20:29 |
| isaac_ | :) much appreciated | 20:29 |
| silent_ | that will tell you the device's ip | 20:29 |
| silent_ | assuming you are granted dhcp | 20:29 |
| apocalypti | silent_: im not sure how to do that. when i type .0.1 into firefox, i get a webpage-looking thing, and nothing that looks like a terminal | 20:30 |
| the_empty | uruca, dd is a block-level utility, it will make a bit for bit clone of the input to the output. | 20:30 |
| the_empty | uruca, so yes it will definitely nuke whatever is there | 20:31 |
| unagi | how can i force a theme to let me change the window color | 20:31 |
| silent_ | Hestv4: You can also try a vbios flash, but I can't vouche for the validity of your warranty afterward. If you plan on venturing that way, you'll want to find a utility called "nvflash" and a floppy drive | 20:31 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: are you on linux? | 20:31 |
| stroyan | unagi: To be clear, what window and the color of what parts of the window? | 20:31 |
| Hestv4 | silent_: nvflash sounds nvidia... the nvidia card isn't even visible to the system. | 20:31 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: are you using gnome or kde? | 20:31 |
| unagi | all windows | 20:31 |
| unagi | the background color of all windows | 20:32 |
| PurpZeY | apocalypti: Just use terminal and type route | 20:32 |
| silent_ | Hestv4: not as far as you can tell, but nvflash may be able to detect and flash the vbios. it's the part most likely to be corrupt, but as I said, your warranty may be at risk | 20:32 |
| apocalypti | silent_: no, all the boxes in my network except for the problematic one run WinXP (if you have a problem with that, talk to my parents. theyre the ones who wont switch...) | 20:32 |
| stroyan | unagi: The background color of windows is the business of each application. There is no single control for all applications colors. | 20:32 |
| unagi | there is.....in themes | 20:32 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: Windows XP is the best microsoft OS IMO | 20:32 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: are you running gnome or kde? What distro are you running? | 20:33 |
| uruca | the_empty, this is the command i did: sudo ddrescue -v /dev/hdb1 /media/disk/buruca/Recovered.iso /media/disk/buruca/ddrescue.log | 20:33 |
| apocalypti | silent_: i agree, but that doesnt make it good. | 20:33 |
| Hestv4 | silent_: then I just have to get something to boot from.. no flyppy drives here, so it's usb or cd. | 20:33 |
| jakel1 | wow.... all microsoft oses suck | 20:33 |
| sbc_ | hey guys, I need a little help. I want to just copy some files off my uncles harddrive (with Win 98 installed) onto a usb thumb drive. The usb drivers don't work under Win98 so I want to run a live Ubuntu session of a CD since Ubuntu has usb drivers OOTB. The problem is that the computer is so slow I don't want to run a GUI with the live CD, just straight TTY and some cp -R . Any idea how to run a standard 7.10 live CD with no GUI? Any b | 20:33 |
| sbc_ | oot paramaters that prevent gnome from starting? | 20:33 |
| sbc_ | TIA | 20:34 |
| silent_ | Hestv4: you'll have to do some googling to make the usb drive bootable into dos... look for a utility from hp, I've used it before | 20:34 |
| jakel1 | i personally prefer mac... and then i got into linux... and linux is nice, but it can cause many headaches | 20:34 |
| silent_ | Hestv4: but first flash the mobo bios | 20:34 |
| apocalypti | silent_: im running ubuntu with gnome. | 20:34 |
| Hestv4 | silent_: yep, I will... | 20:34 |
| boris | hi | 20:34 |
| apocalypti | silent_: and its 7.10 | 20:34 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: Applications > accessories > terminal | 20:34 |
| jakel1 | i tried KDE and hated it.... I like gnome better | 20:34 |
| sbc_ | No, I want to run the session off of the CD, not the USB drive | 20:34 |
| sbc_ | just with no GUI | 20:34 |
| silent_ | kde4 looks enticing | 20:34 |
| silent_ | but I'm a gnomefag | 20:35 |
| jakel1 | i like gnome | 20:35 |
| unagi | anyone know what about control themes dictates the ability or inability to change a window background color? | 20:35 |
| apocalypti | silent_: i know how to access the terminal, but i cant do anyting networky with it. | 20:35 |
| boris | my father's comp stoped working, after i manually added some resolutions to X. /var/log/Xorg.0.log says that there were no screens with valid config found | 20:35 |
| jakel1 | kde4 looks the same with special effects | 20:35 |
| boris | (he's using fglrx) | 20:35 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: sudo -s | 20:35 |
| jakel1 | i am actually using 10.3 right now OpenSUSE and that uses KDE | 20:35 |
| stroyan | unagi: So you want the "Customize" button, the "Colors" tab, and the effect of clicking on "windows: Background". That will affect many windows. | 20:35 |
| jakel1 | but it's 3.5 | 20:35 |
| apocalypti | silent_: ok... | 20:35 |
| jakel1 | i dnt trust kde4 yet | 20:35 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: careful what you do with root privileges, however... | 20:35 |
| Muskie | I'll assume it all goes well with dualbooting through XP? | 20:36 |
| unagi | yes....but not every control theme lets you change it........what dictates if u can or cant | 20:36 |
| uruca | the_empty, either if this is the command i did? sudo ddrescue -v /dev/hdb1 /media/disk/buruca/Recovered.iso /media/disk/buruca/ddrescue.log - and if I stop it now, what's happen? | 20:36 |
| jakel1 | try sudo rm -rf / | 20:36 |
| jakel1 | no just kidding | 20:36 |
| JC_Denton_ | If I do a network install can I have a router inbetween the two machines? | 20:36 |
| jakel1 | dnt do that | 20:36 |
| jakel1 | :-P | 20:36 |
| boris | i tried setting it to VESA. now it starts loading, but it stops ar runing local scripts (rc.local) | 20:36 |
| jakel1 | dnt listen to me | 20:36 |
| sbc_ | jakel1: cut the douchebaggery | 20:36 |
| boris | it repeatedly seems to loas it | 20:36 |
| jakel1 | i was kidding | 20:36 |
| sbc_ | lots of people have actually lost data becuase of that | 20:36 |
| sbc_ | it's not clever/funny | 20:36 |
| PurpZeY | jakel1: not funny to someone who doesn't know any better. | 20:37 |
| jakel1 | lol.... i know... i was one of them | 20:37 |
| silent_ | jakel1: people get banned for that | 20:37 |
| silent_ | jakel1: never again | 20:37 |
| boris | some1 help | 20:37 |
| verb3k | jakel1, you may get banned , careful :) | 20:37 |
| isaac_ | dfcarney: Looks like I can add screen 1 to a tty through a file called "inittab", but I can't find it on ubuntu, the instructions are for debian | 20:37 |
| JC_Denton_ | So I won't need to turn the machine into a DHCP server (and need a cross cable) if a router inbetween the two machines will suffice? | 20:37 |
| PurpZeY | boris: describe your problem | 20:37 |
| jakel1 | lol... dnt worry i wont say it again | 20:37 |
| jakel1 | but i can think it right? | 20:37 |
| sbc_ | why doesn't this channel just autoban or at least censor anyone who types that command? | 20:37 |
| unagi | does anyone here make themes? | 20:37 |
| jakel1 | cuz it could be useful | 20:37 |
| silent_ | sbc_: usually people alert the admins immediately... must be slow today | 20:37 |
| dfcarney | isaac_: ubuntu is based off of debian, so it should be fairly compatible | 20:37 |
| silent_ | I'm surprised he hasn't been banned | 20:38 |
| PurpZeY | silent_: I considered i | 20:38 |
| PurpZeY | t | 20:38 |
| sbc_ | hmm | 20:38 |

| daquino[laptop] | i was trying to setup support for portugues language... now trying to revert those changes it appears that firefox is still giving me the wrong spelling corrections... its not using english!!! I just checked and it only gives me portugues based dictionaires i cant even pick english!! | 20:38 |
| ArrPirate | I have a problem | 20:38 |
| jakel1 | i've actually used the command for legit purposes | 20:38 |
| isaac_ | dfcarney, I know, but the instructions say /etc/inittab, which doesn't exist. A quick "locate inittab" shows nothing | 20:38 |
| ritalin | hai | 20:38 |
| silent_ | Hestv4: indeed, but you need to be able to write backup bioses, which is why a FAT usb drive is best | 20:38 |
| silent_ | or better yet, a floppy drive | 20:38 |
| ritalin | is it normal to have 1.2% fragmentation on a fresh install? filesystem is ext3. | 20:38 |
| ArrPirate | I plugged my new LCD monitor up to my computer running Ubuntu and nothing displays | 20:38 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: And that is? | 20:39 |
| silent_ | Hestv4: the HP bootable usb utility will help | 20:39 |
| Jowi | ArrPirate, ...by computer you mean PC or Laptop? | 20:39 |
| ArrPirate | PC | 20:39 |
| PurpZeY | ArrPirate: You'll need to reconfigure your x system for the new monitor most likely. | 20:39 |
| isaac_ | ritalin, sounds about right | 20:39 |
| ritalin | k | 20:39 |

| unagi | where do you tell ubuntu what icon you want to use as default for something that isnt a link | 20:39 |
| sbc_ | Is there a copy2ram (or similar boot parameter) to load an Ubuntu live session into the ram? | 20:39 |
| ArrPirate | and how would I do that if I can't see anything? | 20:39 |
| Jowi | ArrPirate, does the video card have more than one connector? | 20:39 |
| dutch | is there official way to turn off gutsy's compiz from the command line? | 20:39 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: can you login to a console? | 20:39 |

| ArrPirate | No to both | 20:40 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: Do you see anything at all? | 20:40 |
| unagi | how do i change the icon used for the power applet | 20:40 |
| ArrPirate | No, just a blue screen with my monitor telling me 'not supported' | 20:40 |
| silent_ | unagi: right click then go to properties | 20:40 |
| Jowi | ArrPirate, do you at least get the grub menu at boot? | 20:40 |
| ArrPirate | no | 20:40 |
| silent_ | unagi: there should be an icon selector somewhere | 20:40 |
| unagi | there isnt | 20:41 |
| napsy_ | hello. gnome-power-manager uses statistics to calculate batery times. Is that correct? | 20:41 |
| unagi | just preferences with nothing about the icon | 20:41 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: Not even the bios of your computer? | 20:41 |
| PurpZeY | Jowi: I don't get grub at boot b/c this is my only partition | 20:41 |
| silent_ | unagi: no idea then | 20:41 |
| Jowi | ArrPirate, if you power off and on again (not soft power off, pull the plug if needed) can you enter BIOS? | 20:41 |
| ArrPirate | I see the BIOS loadup, then my monitor tries to display the linux boot up but it fails and goes blue, but if I hit alt+ctrl+backspace I see a bunch of big text briefly | 20:41 |
| unagi | how do you change the icon for anything in ubuntu | 20:41 |
| unagi | what tells ubuntu to use | 20:41 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: change to another terminal by pressing Alt + F2 or F3 | 20:42 |
| Jowi | ArrPirate, ah, ok. Enter BIOS. set the panel size of the framebuffer in there to the *native* resolution of your LCD display. | 20:42 |
| unagi | er what tells ubuntu which icon to use | 20:42 |
| apocalypti | silent_: heres the readout of the route cmd: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50638/ | 20:42 |

| isaac_ | dfcarney ah ha | 20:42 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: that looks perfect | 20:43 |
| Jowi | ArrPirate, then, turn off the framebuffer in BIOS so you should at least get the grub boot menu. | 20:43 |

| apocalypti | silent_: sure, just a sec... | 20:43 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: upload the result to imageshack.us | 20:43 |
| dfcarney | isaac_: i believe that the way to do it is to setup a second X server in a different terminal. i.e. drop to TTY1 with "CTRL+ALT+F1", log in, and type something like "startx -- :1" | 20:43 |
| jakel1 | oooo...... sounds like he is configuring a router | 20:43 |
| dfcarney | isaac_: to switch back to your main window use "CTRL+ALT+F7" | 20:44 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: Have you tried to change to another terminal? Alt+F1? | 20:44 |
| PurpZeY | silent_: Hopefully you'll get that all resolved soon, but I am glad it isn't too simple, makes me feel like less of an idiot for not seeing it at first glance | 20:44 |
| isaac_ | dfcarney, I think screen 1 is already started though, but I'll give it a shot, hold up | 20:44 |
| silent_ | PurpZeY: I have no idea what's wrong | 20:44 |
| PurpZeY | silent_: Makes two of us | 20:44 |

| _-XPERT-_ | There is also a setting in the grub menu for the framebuffer | 20:48 |
| ArrPirate | I'm not sure how to do that | 20:48 |
| silent_ | krabador: do you have xgl installed? | 20:48 |
| Jowi | ArrPirate, press AutoAdjust on your LCD screen so at least you will see all the text even if it's big | 20:48 |
| PurpZeY | boris: It should allow you to set several as a choice, but if you screw your xorg....then possibly won't start | 20:48 |
| ArrPirate | I did that, it didn't do much of anything | 20:49 |
| jakel1 | i have a firebox x550e and that serves my firewall then comes a Dell R900 as a DHCP server and a PowerEdge 6950 | 20:49 |

| silent_ | krabador: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl | 20:49 |
| apocalypti | silent_: ok, here : http://img140.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dlinkscreenshotfr8.png | 20:49 |
| PurpZeY | reconfigure x-server, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 20:49 |
| krabador | silent_ : ok | 20:49 |
| jakel1 | they work pretty well... i dnt have any type of "router" though for say | 20:49 |
| isaac_ | I'll ask again. I use x2vnc, which is a VNC (remote desktop) client. It outputs to X screen 1 (X starts on screen 0), and through Xinerama, this is placed to the right of my current X viewport. I need a way of switching between screen 0 and screen 1, or alternatively, to the left and right of the X output. I've read that I can make a tty view a specific X screen, but I don't know how to set this up | 20:50 |

| jakel1 | a dedicated firewall and a dedicated DHCP server | 20:50 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: what's the problem then? | 20:50 |
| jakel1 | then a dedicated file server and license server | 20:50 |
| PurpZeY | apocalypti: Dude, that's your router setup page? | 20:50 |

| kiki7 | hello @ all | 20:51 |
| PurpZeY | silent_: Take a loot at upper right...Either that's a really good theme or that's a screen from his windows machine | 20:51 |
| kiki7 | somebody is here? | 20:51 |
| Jowi | kiki7, 1287 of us | 20:52 |
| krabador | silent_: ok, done. now? | 20:52 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: I needed a screenshot from your linux box | 20:52 |
| silent_ | krabador: try restarting | 20:52 |
| kiki7 | lol Jowi thats a lot... It appears like its an chat with a lot of sleeping guys | 20:52 |
| apocalypti | PurpZeY: its what i get when i type 192.198.0.1 into firefox. i can send the manual setup page screenshot too | 20:52 |
| silent_ | krabador: then enable effects, assuming you have compiz-fusion installed | 20:52 |
| PurpZeY | silent_: Maybe it's a good theme....looks like XP to me. | 20:52 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: And any resluts? | 20:52 |
| ArrPirate | the framebuffer thing isn't helpful at all | 20:53 |
| ArrPirate | because my BIOS has no mention of it and I can't see the GRUB menu to do anything with that | 20:53 |
| Jowi | kiki7, silence is golden if you A. do not need support or B. do not give support :) the rest is for #ubuntu-offtopic hehe | 20:53 |
| silent_ | PurpZeY: no, if it looks like xp it's a bad theme | 20:53 |
| apocalypti | silent_: thats the screenshot from the computer that im on now, the one that has network/internet access | 20:53 |
| krabador | silent_: i've ubuntu gutsy, compiz updated with synaptic | 20:53 |
| EtteSB | i just tried using lame to change a .ogg to a .mp3. when i play the .mp3 all i get is static. anyone know another way to change it or a way to fix it? | 20:53 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: Did you read the url i send you? | 20:53 |
| ArrPirate | yes | 20:53 |
| silent_ | krabador: and you installed xserver-xgl? | 20:53 |
| krabador | silent_ : yes | 20:53 |
| ArrPirate | I'm getting frustrated. | 20:53 |
| silent_ | krabador: reboot | 20:54 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: This can solve some but how is the reconfigure running? | 20:54 |
| lunahood | hi, I am not able to mount a samba partition by normal user, but only with sudo ... if anyone has an idea ... | 20:54 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: so the linux box has no internet? | 20:54 |
| apocalypti | PurpZeY, silent_: it is xp. like i said, the only computer running linux is the one with the problem | 20:54 |
| krabador | silent_: ok, for now thank you! | 20:54 |
| dcesiel_ | hey guys say I wanted to start firefox and and once its loaded start xchat, how would I do that in one command? | 20:54 |
| silent_ | krabador: hope it works out | 20:54 |
| * PurpZeY WAHAHAHAHAHAS | 20:54 | |

| Bluesoul | Greetings | 20:55 |
| amorphous_ | roblems for a while now & can't get my machine to startup in command line - i'm using lilo but need the kernel command to start up without X - can anyone help me? | 20:55 |
| Bluesoul | guys do any of you use gigabyte mobos? | 20:55 |
| PurpZeY | silent_: Only b/c I'm looking at that thinking "Hmm, what are fixing?" | 20:55 |
| Nostahl | Hi all. im wondering if anyone can help point me in the direction of opening up the files in my mp3 player (the actual program files) | 20:55 |
| PurpZeY | Bluesoul: My roommate used one. | 20:55 |
| Bluesoul | PurpZeY, | 20:56 |
| Bluesoul | I have a question for you | 20:56 |
| silent_ | PurpZeY: I can't help but wonder if he knocked out the cat5 cable | 20:56 |
| Bluesoul | did he have any problems with ubuntu? | 20:56 |
| PurpZeY | silent_: Just wondering that now? | 20:56 |
| Bluesoul | specifically sound card, on board sound card problems | 20:56 |
| PurpZeY | Bluesoul: Actually he had a problem with RAM compabitility | 20:56 |
| EtteSB | i just tried using lame to change a .ogg to a .mp3. when i play the .mp3 all i get is static. anyone know another way to change it or a way to fix it? | 20:56 |
| Bluesoul | hmm | 20:56 |
| silent_ | Bluesoul: just build alsa with module helper and select the module for your audio chip | 20:57 |
| Bluesoul | nonono | 20:57 |
| silent_ | there's a very detailed ubuntu forum post on the subject | 20:57 |
| Bluesoul | I mean the little speaker icon is there but no sound is coming | 20:57 |
| Bluesoul | this is goddam weird. | 20:57 |
| silent_ | and I mean build alsa | 20:57 |
| kinection | i'm having trouble with my on board sound card, lspci says it's an Intel High Definition Audio Controller. I can play sounds, but I don't seem to be able to record sounds through mic or lineout, can anybodyhelp me? | 20:57 |
| PurpZeY | Bluesoul: He ended up switching out that motherboard. Not sound related, but still makes me think maybe their product isn't #1. | 20:57 |
| kiki7 | aaaaah ok, i see thank you a lot Jowi :D i think i have to quit this room because i dont need any help right now i am glad to have installed my ati 9800 pro in debian :D | 20:57 |
| PurpZeY | !alsa | kinection | 20:58 |
| ubotu | kinection: 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 | 20:58 |

| Bluesoul | will do bbl | 20:59 |

| bullgard4 | "$ uname -r; 2.6.22-14-generic." Why do I need the directory /usr/src/linux-2-6-22.4? | 20:59 |
| Tilllinux | is there a tool to configure wacom tablets? | 20:59 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: And? is the reconfigure working? | 20:59 |
| silent_ | EtteSB: look at the lame man file, play around with settings | 20:59 |
| PurpZeY | bullgard4: I know on my desktop I can run the older kernel if the new causes issues....safety..... | 21:00 |
| apocalypti | PurpZeY, silent_: all the cables are fine, that was the first thing i checked. and i ran the cmd, and it said reconfiguring network interfaces... [ok] | 21:00 |
| ArrPirate | I got into a terminal and I logged in, typed in the reconfigure command, assumed it would need my sudo password, so I put that in even though it was off of my screen... and as far as I know it's doing whatever it was supposed to do, but I can't tell because it's off my screen | 21:00 |
| apocalypti | PurpZeY, silent_: and nothing has changed | 21:00 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: Please have a second look at the framebugger url i gave you | 21:01 |
| jeff__ | Hey can someone bail me out? I did a fresh install of Gutsy and got all the custom visual effects working but then I did the updates and that broke something. I now can' | 21:01 |
| _-XPERT-_ | this can solve the large font size in a terminal | 21:01 |
| PurpZeY | jeff__: updates? | 21:01 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: do you have dynamic dhcp enabled on the router? try uplugging the router for 10 seconds then plug it back in to reset it then run /etc/init.d/networking restart again | 21:01 |
| _-XPERT-_ | I wont solve you xserver problem but that is step 2 | 21:01 |
| daquino[laptop] | anyone got any help for me here ? | 21:01 |
| _-XPERT-_ | sorry it must say "It wont.... | 21:01 |
| PurpZeY | !ask | daquino[laptop] | 21:02 |
| ubotu | daquino[laptop]: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 21:02 |
| apocalypti | silent_: dhcp is and has been enabled, but ill try. itll disconnect this box too, so brb | 21:02 |
| silent_ | !ask | daquino[laptop] | 21:02 |
| jeff__ | PurpZeY: Yes, sorry. The updates broke something. I noticed one of them was compiz after I started the process | 21:02 |
| ArrPirate | I did read it, and I can't find anything there that I can do currently | 21:02 |
| PirateHead | !ask | daquino[laptop] | 21:02 |
| daquino[laptop] | PurpZeY: i did ask it... | 21:02 |
| daquino[laptop] | silent_: ^ | 21:02 |
| ArrPirate | there's nothing mentioned in my BIOS about framebuffer and I can't see the grub menu | 21:02 |
| daquino[laptop] | PirateHead: ^ | 21:02 |
| _-XPERT-_ | Why cant you edit the /boot/grub/menu... ? | 21:02 |
| daquino[laptop] | i was trying to setup support for portugues language... now trying to revert those changes it appears that firefox is still giving me the wrong spelling corrections... its not using english!!! I just checked and it only gives me portugues based dictionaires i cant even pick english!! | 21:02 |
| bullgard4 | PurpZeY: I believe that you missed the point. My kernel is 2.6.22-14-generic. The _directory_ /usr/src/linux-2-6-22.4 is no bootable kernel on my system. | 21:02 |
| el_pako__ | ola | 21:02 |
| PurpZeY | jeff__: It's possible one of the newer updates messed your video cards settings.... | 21:02 |
| Sier | ola? | 21:02 |
| el_pako__ | ai alguien que able español? | 21:02 |
| PurpZeY | !es | el_pako__ | 21:03 |
| ubotu | el_pako__: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 21:03 |
| bullgard4 | No, ningun. | 21:03 |
| silent_ | daquino[laptop]: sounds like a firefox issue, not ubuntu | 21:03 |
| androide | http://chimbarongo.myminicity.es/ <- new eyecandy for compiz-fusion! | 21:03 |
| PirateHead | !offtopic | androide | 21:03 |
| ubotu | androide: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 21:03 |
| daquino[laptop] | silent_: it was messing with the ubuntu management tools that caused changes in my system including firefox | 21:03 |
| jeff__ | PurpZeY: Everything looks OK still. Anything in particular to check? | 21:03 |
| ArrPirate | what exactly am I supposed to do with that framebuffer URL if I can't do anything with it in my BIOS and I can't see the GRUB menu?! | 21:04 |
| PurpZeY | jeff__: Well, what, itsn't working? | 21:04 |
| PurpZeY | PirateHead: For the record, that was not even an ubuntu related link and for anyone in windows could have contained spyware for all I know | 21:04 |
| Muskie | arr: use an alternate display until you get the settings right? | 21:05 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: please read the html file it gives you the option to run your system whitout Framebuffer and whith a higer setting for example your new monitor | 21:05 |
| * ArrPirate smashes his face into his desk. | 21:05 | |
| ArrPirate | I read the html file. | 21:05 |
| letstalkjoe | For some reason I'm having a brain fart and I can't remember, what is the command to find out the owner of a folder? | 21:05 |
| rhinovirus | my package installer wont close, how to i close it? | 21:06 |
| rhinovirus | do* | 21:06 |
| PurpZeY | rhinovirus: What error message? | 21:06 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: if your monitor says out of sync this can mean 2 things you runn a screen size to small or to large for your monitor | 21:06 |
| jeff__ | PurpZeY: I had all the custom visual effects working but the update broke that. I've been reset to None in Appearances. If I try to enable I get "Desktop effects could not be enabled" | 21:06 |
| dmitry__ | could someone help me install xchat 2.8.4 in ubuntu 7.10? | 21:06 |
| Zeyelth | letstalkjoe: ls -lh gives you an extensive output. | 21:06 |
| letstalkjoe | k | 21:06 |
| rhinovirus | no error message, it just wont respond | 21:06 |
| apocalypt | PurpZeY, silent_: its working again. thank you so very much | 21:06 |
| letstalkjoe | Thanks Zeyelth. | 21:06 |
| ArrPirate | However, and here's the truly exciting part, it's set to run the proper resolution because the other monitor I was using has the exact same native resolution | 21:06 |
| Zeyelth | np | 21:07 |
| PurpZeY | jeff__: What kind of video card? | 21:07 |
| hypercity | i have this partition (/dev/sda3) that can be mounted only as root how can i set this partition to work for a normal usser? | 21:07 |
| * PurpZeY looks at silent in utter shock that it was that simple | 21:07 | |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: For example the following line in your menu.lst give a different screen size | 21:07 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-20-386 root=/dev/hda5 ro vga=791 | 21:07 |
| jeff__ | PurpZeY: ATI Radeon X1150. | 21:07 |
| ac7ss | hypercity: what file system is it under? | 21:07 |
| ghostknife | How do I install libexpat? I have a program when I do (./configure) it keeps saying libexpat not found. I have "expat" and "libexpat1" installed. | 21:07 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: The vga=791 option tells the kernel to run at 1024x768 | 21:07 |
| hypercity | ac7ss: ext3 | 21:07 |
| PurpZeY | jeff__: xgl installed? | 21:07 |
| ArrPirate | telling me to read the html file over and over again is doing nothing but frustrating me because, again another surprise, I've read it several times already and it can do nothing to help me because I can't edit framebuffer in my BIOS and I can't see the GRUB menu or enough of the terminal to do anything about it there! | 21:07 |
| DMaster | irc://irc.rizon.net/ruhideout | 21:08 |
| ac7ss | what is the result of the | 21:08 |
| ac7ss | mount | 21:08 |
| ac7ss | listing? | 21:08 |
| silent_ | apocalypti: no problem | 21:08 |
| ArrPirate | YES, I get you. I understand that. However, I can't see to edit the file that needs me to do that | 21:08 |
| hypercity | ac7ss: mount? | 21:08 |
| ac7ss | and is there an entry in /etc/fstab | 21:08 |
| unperson | Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to install themes for compiz-fusion on my Ubuntu Feisty system? | 21:08 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: ok then boot whith a live cd and edit it then | 21:08 |
| hypercity | ac7ss: yes | 21:08 |
| deephan | guys..i need to install a remote desktop client..(GUI)..which is the best one? | 21:08 |
| ChrisULM | im having trouble burning a dvd iso image. When i load the image in gnome baker i get this error http://pastebin.com/d6aa0ed22 . Any ideas? | 21:08 |
| ac7ss | type mount on a command shell. | 21:08 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: Don't forget i am only trying to help ya | 21:09 |
| apocalypt1 | PurpZeY, silent_: im online in ubuntu now, just confirming that it works. thank you both soo much | 21:09 |
| jeff__ | PurpZeY: no xgl. I had too many problems with that on another laptop. Literally a clean install of Gutsy followed by ATI (via Envy f it matters) | 21:09 |
| unperson | As I expected, you can't do it through the System->Appearance interface, which is only for changing metacity themes, I think. | 21:09 |
| silent_ | ChrisULM: right click the iso and hit burn | 21:09 |
| PurpZeY | !envy | 21:09 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 21:09 |
| ChrisULM | silent_, i did that and got the same error | 21:09 |
| ArrPirate | I'm grateful for the help, but repeating the same thing over and over again while ignoring what I am saying is less than helpful | 21:09 |
| nbogdanoff | did ubuntu-base get renamed in 7.10 ? | 21:09 |
| PurpZeY | jeff__: Use restricted drivers manager...do reconfigure if you have to...envy causes problems | 21:10 |
| deephan | i would like to install a remote desktop client..which is the best one? | 21:10 |
| silent_ | ChrisULM: try K3B, it's a nice utility | 21:10 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: Ok i give up. Good luck | 21:10 |
| ChrisULM | silent_ i'd rather fix the problem and use a gnome based program | 21:10 |
| Carroarmato0 | Yo people, somehow my my ipod is set to read only for no reason, is there a way to make it writable again? | 21:10 |
| jeff__ | PurpZeY: I was afraid you'd say that. OK. | 21:10 |
| ChrisULM | any suggestions? | 21:11 |
| ArrPirate | _-XPERT-_, I'm sorry for being irritable and taking it out on you. I'm just very frustrated. | 21:11 |
| PurpZeY | jeff__: Envy not supported or recommended around here. This is exactly why. | 21:11 |
| jizzim | does anyone have a good documentation to dual boot xp & 6.10? | 21:11 |
| silent_ | ChrisULM: good luck with that! I love k3b | 21:11 |
| jizzim | xp is already installed successfully | 21:12 |
| jeff__ | PurpZeY: Is a direct install from ATI's downloaded driver worse? | 21:12 |
| bluefoxx | grub error 23 | 21:12 |
| ChrisULM | k3b is slow to load on gnome | 21:12 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: Please boot whith a live CD and then edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 21:12 |
| isaac_ | Is it? | 21:12 |
| isaac_ | Loads fine | 21:12 |
| bluefoxx | what is grub error 23? | 21:12 |
| hypercity | ac7ss: get my messg in privete? | 21:12 |
| jizzim | how do install ubuntu from disc? dual boot? | 21:12 |
| PurpZeY | jeff__: Use the restricted drivers manager, that's why it's there | 21:12 |
| isaac_ | I'm on 1.4GHz and it does fine:P | 21:12 |
| silent_ | bluefoxx: www.google.ca | 21:12 |
| PurpZeY | jizzim: Pick a less offensive name please | 21:12 |
| === jizzim is now known as niceubuntu | ||
| ArrPirate | if it boots and displays fine with a live cd, great. Otherwise, I don't see how this is going to help | 21:12 |
| ac7ss | no. | 21:12 |
| niceubuntu | sorry | 21:13 |
| bluefoxx | silent_: i came here for help, not to be told crap i allready know | 21:13 |
| PurpZeY | niceubuntu: No worries...=)...Now you need help installing? | 21:13 |
| jeff__ | PurpZeY: My understanding is that the restricted driver is old, doesn't support AIGLX and generally doesn't handle compiz 3d effects as well | 21:13 |
| hypercity | ac7ss: tryng to reregister | 21:13 |
| niceubuntu | yes. dual booting xp & .6.10 | 21:13 |
| jakel1 | jizzim: what do u mean how do u install from disc? | 21:13 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: Your system is to old for you monitor so you need to tell your kernel to run another vga option | 21:13 |
| bluefoxx | i dont particularly enjoy sifting through the black hole of google | 21:14 |
| niceubuntu | gutsy has problems installing on this laptop | 21:14 |
| PurpZeY | jeff__: That might be....#compiz-fusion is the best place to ask about that, but definitely don't use envy.....And the RESTRICTED DRIVER manager, is not inherently the same as the driver itself. | 21:14 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: Then you will be able to see a normal terminal | 21:14 |
| rodolfo | how do i remove all existing panels from the desktop? it seems the last one cannot be removed... | 21:14 |
| jakel1 | jizzim: did you burn the .iso to a disk as a disk image | 21:14 |
| bluefoxx | i want to know how to fix a "grub error 23" | 21:14 |
| PurpZeY | niceubuntu: what is the problem? | 21:14 |
| _-XPERT-_ | ArrPirate: And if this works then you can do a reconfigure for the xserver | 21:14 |
| boris | how do i check whether i got AIGLX acceleration ? | 21:14 |
| jeff__ | PurpZeY: Sorry can you clarify the difference between the restricted driver manager and the driver itself for me please? | 21:15 |
| Empath | in grub, what would /dev/sda1 be? | 21:15 |
| niceubuntu | i want to know how to dual boot xp and ubuntu | 21:15 |
| subzero2000 | Is there anything specific to getting drive status from an Adaptec SCSI RAID controller that uses the aacraid driver? I looked in /proc/scsi, but I need more information than is available there. | 21:15 |
| niceubuntu | how do i go about that? | 21:15 |
| PurpZeY | jeff__: As I understand it, the manager isn't tied to those drivers | 21:15 |

| crdlb | jeff__: envy breaks things, and the new AIGLX support in the new fglrx driver is pretty terrible, so you gained nothing | 21:15 |
| PurpZeY | jeff__: And I could be wrong, it'd be the 3rd time in 2 days I was wrong....Ask in #compiz-fusion to make sure you get it tip-top | 21:16 |
| crdlb | jeff__: to make compiz wor well, you still need to install xserver-xgl | 21:16 |

| dooglus | can anyone recommend a way of defragmenting my ext3 partition? this gutsy box is almost unusable now due to excess fragmentation, and it's getting worse all the time | 21:17 |
| PurpZeY | !defrag | dooglus | 21:17 |
| ubotu | dooglus: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 21:17 |
| dooglus | (please don't tell me that ext3 doesn't get fragmented) | 21:17 |

| Yv12345vY | julian__, is there such a thing as a small problem setting up compiz? I think you should just ask your question. | 21:47 |

| Yv12345vY | neverblue, yeah, mv swiftfox swiftfox.backup just in case things get screwed up | 21:49 |

| jakel1 | ok.... so what type of wireless card does the laptop have hotdiggety | 21:55 |
| Yv12345vY | Dandre, you want to use the fglrx driver, is it the same device listed twice? | 21:55 |
| O_ | old* | 21:55 |
| amorphous_ | I have one user can see ok - i managed to set drivers as generic 1024x1280, but others have huge graphics (800x600) and go out of range if I try to switch users :/ | 21:55 |
| ilor | anyone? | 21:55 |
| hotdiggety | Kevin: ???, sorry pretty new to all this | 21:55 |
| kenro | Where might I get a libdvdcss-enabled movie player? | 21:55 |
| neverblue | yeah, looks like its available in the repos | 21:55 |
| z3cU3c4 | make: ** [install-recursive] Erro 1 | 21:55 |
| Dandre | the Busid is the same | 21:55 |

| Kevin` | hotdiggety what is connected to this switch | 21:56 |
| gyaresu | snap | 21:56 |
| neverblue | but I dont want to lose any data stored in swiftfox, before I remove it, is there anything I need to be concerned about ? | 21:56 |
| mw-home | I need help making a vnc connection from one ubuntu box to another. when I connect, I get a window, but I don't see anything like toolbars inside. | 21:56 |
| hotdiggety | jakel1: it has a AEGIS Protocol IEEE 802.1x v3.6.0.0 | 21:56 |
| neverblue | or does it just use all my FF settings ? | 21:56 |
| julian__ | i installed xserver-xgl should i restart my computer to see if this allows compiz fusion to work | 21:56 |
| Yv12345vY | neverblue, you shouldn't, that data should be stored in your home directory | 21:56 |
| mw-home | also, the window is much too small, and won't scroll. | 21:56 |
| jakel1 | Kevin: he is trying to connect his laptop to his wireless router via wireless... i think it may be a driver issue | 21:56 |
| amorphous_ | Q is - how do I make then all the same? - new gutsy upgrade on dell optiplex320 radion xpress 200... and a viewsonic screed | 21:56 |
| julian__ | or is their more i should do | 21:56 |
| kenro | Yv12345vY: Explain, please? | 21:56 |
| gyaresu | neverblue: all your data should be in a 'dot' folder in your home directory. | 21:56 |
| Yv12345vY | neverblue, hit alt + f2 and type in firefox, does it look the same? | 21:56 |
| jakel1 | hotdiggety: does it work plugged in throught the ethernet port | 21:56 |
| jakel1 | ? | 21:56 |
| Yv12345vY | kenro, did you get a message with instructions? | 21:56 |
| O_ | how about ejecting the cd while running a live session possible? | 21:56 |
| poningru_ | neverblue, mmm not sure about that | 21:56 |
| hotdiggety | kevin: I have my desktop connected to the switch and a second desktop with no screen, mouse or keyboard and the ADSL router | 21:57 |
| neverblue | Yv12345vY, if you have FF and swiftfox installed, you press alt + F2 and type in FF, see what you gete | 21:57 |
| Kevin` | hotdiggety are you using 802.1x or are you using normal wep or wpa | 21:57 |
| kenro | Yv12345vY: Oh OK I got it. | 21:57 |

| okeefenokee | Hi folks. I just upgraded to Gutsy from edgy, and found out that inittab is wiped out, which is a mouthful ;) Now, I'd like to disable tty1 from the shell since I'm running VDR under tty1 (am I clear enough here?). How would I do that (from something called upstart, obviously). | 21:58 |
| Kevin` | hotdiggety so the router is just working as an access point, it's not routing anything? | 21:58 |
| hotdiggety | driver issue on the laptop running XP SP2? | 21:58 |
| hotdiggety | keving: I would assume that as correct | 21:58 |
| neverblue | I on the other hand, receive a Swiftfox broswer | 21:58 |
| neverblue | browser* | 21:58 |
| pike_ | !upstart| okeefenokee | 21:58 |
| ubotu | okeefenokee: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 21:58 |
| Kevin` | hotdiggety where is your modem or other device for connecting to the internet? | 21:58 |
| jakel1 | hotdiggety: is your wireless assigning IP addresses? | 21:58 |
| hotdiggety | keving: the laptop network connection is telling me that it is connected to the router, but I have no internet connectivity | 21:59 |

| neverblue | Yv12345vY, obviously there is a ~/.mozilla/firefox dir | 21:59 |
| Kevin` | hotdiggety we need to start over from the beginning, with your setup. what is the outermost device in your network that your isp gave you? | 21:59 |

| gyaresu | flush: Chuck it in. If the machine posts (starts) it'll be fine. | 22:00 |
| Yv12345vY | Xintruder, interesting question, can you be more detailed? | 22:00 |

| flush | yarr | 22:00 |
| Yv12345vY | neverblue, that's where all the data should be, so if you remove swiftfox and install firefox you shouldn't lose anything | 22:00 |
| okeefenokee | ubotu: Yeah, I had a poke around but didn't find what I was looking for (immediately, that is). Thing is, in my prev edgy-installation I had commented out the following line: #1:345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1, which means that vdr had lone access to tty1. Is this something I do through upstart, or what has compensated this particular part of inittab? | 22:00 |

| Xintruder | Yv12345vY, well, i do have problems running flash in the live cd, and always had problems running youtube clips on my gentoo. I was wondering if ubuntu would be any better than windows in such things | 22:01 |

| Kevin` | jakel1 his other computers stopped working when he installed linux. something is very wrong with his setup | 22:01 |
| Yv12345vY | Xintruder, it won't be a problem once you install Gutsy, guaranteed | 22:01 |
| Ryuki | anyboanybody can teach me how to remove YIM manually in xfce menu editor? | 22:01 |
| Yv12345vY | Andycass1, symlinks are treated the same as anything else in linux/unix | 22:02 |
| neverblue | Yv12345vY, your guess is firefox is not installed ? | 22:02 |
| jakel1 | oh i thought he meant he had installed linux to all of them when they stopped working | 22:02 |

| flush | pc3200 is not pc400 right ? but they will work together ? | 22:02 |

| Xintruder | Well if you mean ubuntu by gutsy, I cant see why would it work after the installation, but wont during the live cd!!!??? | 22:02 |
| Kevin` | guessing isn't worth it | 22:02 |
| hotdiggety | jakel1: I have gone to terminal and typed in ipconfig and received command not found message | 22:02 |
| Yv12345vY | neverblue, try doing which firefox then ls -l that file (ls -l /usr/bin/firefox I guess) and it should show you what's really starting up | 22:02 |

| vee_ | barbarella i gave it a label during install - was that bad? | 22:07 |
| XVampireX | gyaresu, One large file actually | 22:07 |

| gyaresu | XVampireX: What about with zero compression? | 22:07 |
| jakel1 | Xintruder, cuz u can install it urself | 22:07 |
| neverblue | exec -o 'ls -l /usr/bin/firefox' | 22:07 |

| deniz_ | any1 here use firestarter? | 22:07 |
| Eyemean | xv12345vy, did u have it working in 7.04? | 22:07 |
| PurpZeY | Xintruder: B/C it comes with gfx...;P...That'd be easy...They'd have to support it...ramble ramble ramble. | 22:07 |
| XVampireX | But even uncompression | 22:07 |
| Yv12345vY | Eyemean, yes, with Xinerama | 22:07 |
| barbarella | vee_:can you see the drive on the label "Mounted on" | 22:08 |
| XVampireX | Also over smb transferring that file took 20 minutes | 22:08 |
| Yv12345vY | neverblue, what's the output of which firefox | 22:08 |
| XVampireX | Is that normal? | 22:08 |
| barbarella | vee_:after a df -h | 22:08 |
| ikonia | XVampireX: it's 4.8 gig, what do you expect | 22:08 |
| hotdiggety | jakel1: I get about a .6 ms response to the ping | 22:08 |
| Eyemean | xv12345vy, im tempted to go back to 7.04 just for the dual screen, i cant live without it, hahaha | 22:08 |
| neverblue | /usr/bin/firefox | 22:08 |
| PurpZeY | XVampireX: That's a big file dude | 22:08 |
| Kevin` | jakel1 I still get the impression something is very wrong with hotdiggety's network, from the semi-conflicting information thus far, but since he's not answering i'm getting a bite to eat | 22:08 |
| vee_ | barbarella i can see not the label but i can see that it is mounted /media | 22:08 |
| neverblue | /usr/bin/swiftfox | 22:08 |
| jakel1 | ok... good.... now try typing ping www.google.com hotdiggety | 22:08 |
| jakel1 | see what you get | 22:08 |
| gyaresu | XVampireX: Running it from a command line to see the logging output? Maybe dodgy file system can't cope? vfat16 or somehting else dodgy. | 22:09 |
| Xintruder | can ubuntu make use of vaio cameras that are built in the laptops? | 22:09 |
| deniz_ | does any1 here use FIRESTARTER?? | 22:09 |
| Yv12345vY | neverblue, what about ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/firefox | 22:09 |
| barbarella | vee_:so, where is the drive mounted | 22:09 |
| XVampireX | so having that PC doesn't change the fact that it would take really long time (Maybe just faster by a bit?) | 22:09 |
| ikonia | XVampireX: depends if the application is designed for multiple cameras | 22:09 |
| PurpZeY | Xintruder: If it functions like a web-cam Camorama may be able to control it | 22:09 |
| neverblue | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5256 2007-12-04 03:00 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox | 22:09 |
| hotdiggety | kevin: sorry, but still pretty new to this and all the help is absolutely wonderful, but having trouble trying to keep up with everyone | 22:09 |
| jakel1 | Xintruder, not sure if it can or not | 22:09 |
| okeefenokee | Hmmm...everybody...seems that fooling around with /etc/event.d/tty1 should do the trick...hold yer collective breath, now! | 22:09 |
| Yv12345vY | Eyemean, I hear you man, Google for ATI dual head and you'll get a bunch of hits and suggestions, all for Big Desktop though | 22:09 |
| PurpZeY | Xintruder: Check the forums on that...I'm sure someone else had the same question | 22:09 |
| Xintruder | hello? am i even connected :/ | 22:09 |
| Ryuki | hey | 22:09 |
| vee_ | barbarella it is mounted on: /media... but i do not see it in the ubuntu desktop (GNOME) | 22:09 |
| jakel1 | hotdiggety, did you ping google.com? | 22:09 |
| ikonia | XVampireX: the lag is probably your disk being used as a temp file, because your file is so big, so 200 processors wouldn't make a difference | 22:09 |
| XVampireX | ikonia, using peazip and setting the compression to use 4 threads | 22:10 |
| vee_ | barbarella sorry if i wasnt clear | 22:10 |
| jakel1 | Xintruder, yes u are | 22:10 |
| Ryuki | My question was unanswered. | 22:10 |

| fedoracore8__ | o que eu posso fazer to pelo live cd | 22:13 |
| erUSUL | PurpZeY: not spanish it is portuguese | 22:13 |
| kenro | Yv12345vY: Think you oss-compat suffices? I'd rather stay with alsa... | 22:13 |
| Yv12345vY | Eyemean, shouldn't be a big difference | 22:13 |
| jakel1 | ur wife's ? and your works? | 22:13 |
| Kevin` | hotdiggety what is the outermost device in your network, that was given to you by your isp? | 22:13 |
| PurpZeY | Xintruder: It seems that at first no one could get it to work, now some people have gotten it to work, although not everyone. | 22:13 |
| hotdiggety | jakel1: the two laptops trying to access the internet via the router | 22:13 |
| PurpZeY | erUSUL: "I'm doing my best sir." | 22:14 |
| Yv12345vY | kenro, sorry man, I have no idea what you're talking about, I think you mean to ask somebody else :-) | 22:14 |
| jakel1 | Kevin' his computer is online... it's two other ones | 22:14 |
| jakel1 | ok... are u at those laptops right now hotdiggety ? | 22:14 |
| Jowi | hotdiggety, you should ask in a windows channel | 22:14 |
| Kevin` | jakel1 I know that. this makes no sense though, so I want to know his setup | 22:14 |
| barbarella | vee_:open a terminal, go to your Desktop (cd Desktop) After that, type ln -s /media media | 22:14 |
| _mug | are there any "personal" firewalls (like protecting MY files) in linux? i want something, that protects MY files (my USER's data). root/kernal-Firewalls are very good, but linux is more and more used as desktop, and if ther was (and is) ie a browser bug and my USER is owned, the data, that is stored, is compromised. i dont care if the "whole machine" is safe. i caring about my data... | 22:14 |
| hotdiggety | jakel1: I have my work laptop with me right next to the desktop | 22:14 |
| jakel1 | i bet his work laptop is set to a different DNS or possibly a static ip | 22:14 |
| erUSUL | PurpZeY: ;) well i'm a native spanish speaker so maybe i over reacted ;) | 22:14 |
| PurpZeY | !iptables | _mug | 22:15 |
| ubotu | _mug: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 22:15 |
| Eyemean | xv12345vy, trust me it made a big difference m8. | 22:15 |
| jakel1 | ok... go to the command prompt (start --> run --> type cmd | 22:15 |
| PurpZeY | erUSUL: I can understand....I only studied spanish, I am lucky I didn't guess it's german | 22:15 |
| kenro | Yv12345vY: You are the one suggested using Ubuntu documentaion for playing dvd's, correct? | 22:15 |
| Kevin` | jakel1 that wouldnt be affected by installing linux though | 22:15 |
| vee_ | barbarella thanx | 22:15 |
| hotdiggety | jakel1: I used to ba able to access the internet via the wireless router when I am running the Windows boot | 22:15 |
| jakel1 | kevin' true... but his linux system is working fine | 22:15 |
| Yv12345vY | _mug, I'm not sure I completely understand what you're asking but do you know anything about Unix/Linux file permissions? | 22:15 |
| Yv12345vY | kenro, sure, just forgot, oops | 22:15 |
| jakel1 | Kevin`, it's his PCs that dnt | 22:15 |
| PurpZeY | Xintruder: Let me know if that thread was helpful | 22:15 |
| ikonia | _mug: a firewall does not protect files. | 22:16 |
| _-XPERT-_ | _mug: You micht consider putting your files encrypted on your system | 22:16 |
| jakel1 | Kevin`, the problems may have nothing to do with him installing linux | 22:16 |
| Yv12345vY | kenro, unfortunately I don't know what to suggest with oss and alsa, all I can say is try it, works well for me | 22:16 |
| Xintruder | PurpZeY alright | 22:16 |
| Xintruder | thanks man | 22:16 |
| Kevin` | jakel1 do as you will, but I have a suspicion he was running IC | 22:16 |
| Kevin` | ICS* | 22:16 |
| _-XPERT-_ | _mug: use GPG | 22:16 |
| jakel1 | ok.... well installing linux to one machine should not effect anything on the other machines* | 22:16 |
| hotdiggety | kevin: ICS? | 22:16 |
| Rille | I lost my sound:( | 22:16 |
| jakel1 | Kevin' that's what i think too | 22:16 |

| Kevin` | anyway, what's the outermost device in your network | 22:17 |
| Yv12345vY | kenro, not sure | 22:17 |
| jakel1 | probably his modem | 22:17 |
| Kevin` | the thing that connects to the internet | 22:17 |
| jakel1 | lol | 22:17 |
| vee_ | barbarella if i put another drive on this box... mount it in /media, will i have issssues? | 22:17 |
| hotdiggety | kevin: what do you mean by outermost device? | 22:17 |
| u^A | does anybody have booting problem on a p3 box with gutsy? | 22:17 |
| Xintruder | PurpZeY 15 pages man, i guess it wont be as easy as 'plug and play' >< ! | 22:18 |
| Kevin` | the device that your isp gave you that connects to the phone line or cable | 22:18 |
| jakel1 | ok... hotdiggety who supplies your internet connection? | 22:18 |
| hotdiggety | it is the ADSL modem | 22:18 |
| u^A | it failed at detecting hardwares | 22:18 |
| jakel1 | is it a Verizon line? | 22:18 |
| Kevin` | hotdiggety what devices are directly connected to the adsl modem | 22:18 |
| _mug | PurpZeY: i know and understand iptables, and im using it. i wonder if there is sth more like "pocess XY is trying to establish a connection to AB, do you want that (just now, never, not now..)" | 22:18 |

| jakel1 | hotdiggety, well... u need a router | 22:18 |
| hotdiggety | jakel1: LOL | 22:18 |
| Malachi | jakel1: Really? | 22:19 |
| barbarella | vee_:you have to ask somebody about auto mounting issues | 22:19 |
| jakel1 | Malachi, i'm kidding | 22:19 |
| Kevin` | jakel1 no assumptions | 22:19 |
| Kevin` | he might not need a router | 22:19 |
| hotdiggety | kevin: SMC Workgroup 24 port switch | 22:19 |
| vee_ | barbarella thanx for your help | 22:19 |
| Malachi | jakel1: The founder of Ubuntu...oh. You're joking. | 22:19 |
| jakel1 | Malachi, i know... it was a joke.... makes me look american | 22:19 |
| Kevin` | hotdiggety ok, what's plugged into the switch besides the modem | 22:19 |
| hotdiggety | jakel1: the ADSL modem is a 4-port wireless router built into the modem | 22:20 |
| jakel1 | i wonder if the modem is a modem/router Kevin` | 22:20 |
| jakel1 | yea figured that | 22:20 |

| murf3326 | quick bash question for someone.... I'm trying to write a little script to run all my deskapps in one shot, however, just potting in the directory/name of the individual apps is not working... as it runs the first one then waits for it to exit before running the next. Is there a bash command to have it run the app and move on to th next without waiting for the first to exit? | 22:23 |
| Yv12345vY | !codec > kenro | 22:23 |
| jakel1 | kevin' i think it may be a wireless issue | 22:23 |
| ikonia | murf3326: join #bash | 22:23 |
| Xintruder | well, i meant that as an example, i mean lots of programs and packagaes like i think redhat used to do in the past?!?! | 22:23 |
| Kevin` | jakel1 same, although I don't see how it would be related to what he did | 22:23 |
| jakel1 | kevin' maybe wireless is off or something on the router | 22:23 |
| jakel1 | i dnt think it is at all Kevin` | 22:23 |
| Yv12345vY | murf3326, append & to the end or go to System -> Preferences -> Sessions and do it via a GUI | 22:23 |
| ikonia | Xintruder: ubuntu installs the base, you install what you want after | 22:23 |
| jakel1 | i dnt know if he knows | 22:23 |
| Skiessi | if there would be something like winamp's AVS, overall image of Ubuntu would be better | 22:23 |
| kenro | _mug: All of GNOME is overrated. (stands tall and resolute in his support of KDE... and gets flame-itined) | 22:23 |
| murf3326 | ikonia: Thanks, sorry should have looked for a bash channel first. :) | 22:23 |
| Kevin` | kenro gnome and kde are overrated, use twm =p | 22:24 |
| Xintruder | ikonia, so there is no checkboxes of program names or something right? | 22:24 |
| murf3326 | Yv12345vY: Thanks, I'll give that a shot... is that an & at the end of each command? | 22:24 |
| jakel1 | kenro_ all GUIs have their place, you wont get flamed by me for using KDE | 22:24 |
| ikonia | Xintruder: not that I'm aware of, for mass deployment I've used kickstart files. | 22:24 |
| erUSUL | ikonia: you may be right i only installed ubuntu twice since i use it (warty beta) ;) | 22:24 |
| Yv12345vY | murf3326, yes &, it makes the command run in the background | 22:24 |
| jakel1 | hotdiggety, did plugging it in work? | 22:24 |
| NoFlag | hey, is it possible to install ubuntu without writng a CD | 22:25 |

| codename | Yep. | 22:26 |

| codename | Yep. | 22:26 |
| Kevin` | NoFlag if your running windows currently there's an installer available for that | 22:26 |
| _mug | codename: use the adobe installer from adobe.com its a bug | 22:26 |
| codename | I closed it | 22:26 |
| Xintruder | how on earth do I go after different program packages downloads I am not aware of, without it telling me what it offers?!? | 22:26 |

| 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. | 22:26 |
| barbarella | Voyage_:what does dmesg say about your tv card? | 22:26 |
| Xintruder | !synaptic | 22:26 |
| ubotu | synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 22:26 |

| alvint | flash works here | 22:27 |
| ikonia | Xintruder: yes, that is the default package manager/installer | 22:27 |
| Kevin` | NoFlag install from linux can be done with debootstrap I believe (in debian at least, I haven't tried ubuntu), often used for systems without a normal boot device like embedded | 22:27 |

| jakel1 | i figured out how to fix it | 22:28 |
| ikonia | matthew_: the flash package is currently broke, please be patient while it is fixed | 22:28 |
| _-XPERT-_ | steven__: k3b | 22:28 |
| _mug | Nostahl: just my opinion: use nvidia for linux. | 22:28 |
| jakel1 | codename, let me know when u completely removed it | 22:28 |
| kenro | Kevin`: For me, gotta be KDE. With fluxbox as backup. I tried RISC on X with fluxbox base and loved it. Used to, at least. They should've quit while they were ahead. | 22:28 |
| codename | whats the package name? | 22:28 |
| Nostahl | what reasons mug | 22:28 |
| alvint | jakel1: what was the problem and how did you fix? | 22:28 |
| jakel1 | flashplugin-nonfree | 22:28 |
| jakel1 | i think | 22:28 |
| zubat | Nostahl: nvidia tend to have better surport and drivers even though ati drivers are improving i recomend ati | 22:28 |
| _mug | matthew_: scroll up a few lines and do what i said to "codename" | 22:29 |
| zubat | Nostahl: i mean nvida no ati! | 22:29 |
| matthew_ | _mug: i wasn't in th channel at the time | 22:29 |
| jakel1 | alvint: i dunno really know what caused the problem, but it seems that for some reason or another the flash thing does not work with certain setups | 22:29 |
| Nostahl | what things do i need to do to swich to my nvidia card | 22:29 |
| jakel1 | but adobe flash plugin does | 22:29 |

| Seveas | jeff__, well, omit the 'plug it in' step then :) | 23:11 |
| Gigamo | J15BIG2, you mean the recovery console? | 23:11 |
| jeff__ | camerama webcam viewer did not find it | 23:11 |
| Seveas | jeff__, try cheese, I usually have more success with that one | 23:11 |
| jakel1 | julian__, you need to use the persons nick | 23:11 |
| jeff__ | seveas, is it just start cheese in terminal | 23:11 |
| J15BIG2 | im not sure, it gives me the graphical menu when i boot from cd, then i selected the first option (i believe it was run or install) | 23:11 |
| kenro | PriceChild: Of course, when you maintain as high-profile a presence as I do, be it helping, trolling, or as now just being stupid, when one makes a general post and is ignored, one might consider shutting up and going elsewhere. | 23:11 |
| PurpZeY | just cheese | 23:11 |
| Seveas | jeff__, a good indication of success is the existence of /dev/video0 | 23:11 |
| julian__ | nickrud, do you just put the name in front of a comma like this | 23:11 |
| jakel1 | julian__, if the persons nick is in the line you type it will highlight in their terminal | 23:12 |
| cosmodad | _mug: Ubuntu is. Most of the time. ;) | 23:12 |

| J15BIG2 | I downloaded the 64 bit version, but now im thinking i should DL the normal version | 23:12 |
| mkquist | quick question, can two diff distros share swap? | 23:12 |
| kenro | jakel1: kde4 will be officially included no earlier than April? | 23:13 |
| HigRelyGuy | I got your types. | 23:13 |
| astro76 | mkquist, yes | 23:13 |
| julian__ | toni, okay thanks glad to hear it will over ride | 23:13 |
| Seveas | mkquist, if you don't run them at the same time (e.g. via vmware: yes) | 23:13 |
| mkquist | astro76 - ty | 23:13 |
| HigRelyGuy | Oh, what's the correct procedure> | 23:13 |
| jeff__ | seveas, my current webcam software says there is no /dev/video) | 23:13 |
| Seveas | jeff__, how about /dev/video0 | 23:13 |
| marina | Phusion: on joox.net there's a message that unknown plugins are missing. i do have vlc | 23:13 |
| Karyom | Hello, Is it nor possible to stop the Samba-Swat Web Interface? I don't want it to be accessible, over the network! | 23:13 |
| Gigamo | J15BIG2, you could try pressing F6 for extra options when it boots from the livecd, and change "splash" into "nosplash". That worked when I ran my 64bit livecd. | 23:14 |
| xobius | marina, what ubuntu version are you using? | 23:14 |
| Phusion | marina: ahh you mean embedded divx | 23:14 |
| HigRelyGuy | _mug you still there? | 23:14 |
| macksting | Perhaps my question has been missed. | 23:14 |
| jeff__ | seveas, that is what I meant. there is none | 23:14 |
| CoR_Text | /echo $ip | 23:14 |
| _mug | yap | 23:14 |
| toni_ | macksting, about? | 23:14 |
| Seveas | jeff__, that's a pity | 23:14 |
| HigRelyGuy | I guess you didn't get my PMs either. | 23:14 |
| J15BIG2 | Im not sure if I should be running the 64 bit version. I have an Intel quad core processor | 23:14 |
| jeff__ | seveas, cheese says, no video | 23:14 |
| kenro | George Bush (the younger) is a stupid chicken *ucker. Uh Oh. Where'd these Secret Service agents com | 23:14 |
| Gigamo | yeah that is no problem | 23:14 |
| Seveas | jeff__, pastebin the output of the commands dmesg and lsusb | 23:14 |
| Phusion | marina: since you obviously checked google before asking in here, you saw --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=491592&highlight=divx | 23:15 |
| marina | Phusion: It could be... i don't know exactly | 23:15 |
| Gigamo | core2duo/quad cpu's are 64bit. | 23:15 |
| macksting | I shall repeat it. How do I set up a shortcut to open a game in DosBox without my selecting it from a menu? | 23:15 |
| * Phusion sighs | 23:15 | |
| _mug | HigRelyGuy: i dont have a registered nick.. so if you didnt get my pm its my fault | 23:15 |
| toni_ | macksting, sorry, i don't knoe how | 23:15 |
| macksting | Mrrf. | 23:15 |
| J15BIG2 | Gigamo, so press F6 then select nosplash? | 23:15 |
| HigRelyGuy | ope. | 23:15 |
| _mug | HigRelyGuy: did you register? | 23:15 |
| eTranquility | Hi, I've recently lost my internet connection. My router and stuff are fine, wireless signal's really strong, works on other machines and was working on my own until a bit ago. I can't get either a wired or wireless connection even though wicd tells me I'm connected. I have no idea what to do, can someone help me troubleshoot? | 23:15 |
| HigRelyGuy | yup. | 23:15 |
| Phusion | macksting: you don't, DOSBox is a DOS emulator, you need to run dosbox and then execute the game, there's no shortcut for emulated dos games in linux | 23:15 |
| xobius | marina did you install mplayer-mozilla plugin? | 23:15 |
| nbogdanoff | does anyone know what happend to ubuntu-base and linux-686 in Gutsy 7.10 ? | 23:15 |
| Seveas | nbogdanoff, they're obsolete | 23:16 |
| function1 | should i have a gtk-config script? some package is reporting it cant find one. i have libgtk*-dev and libglib*-dev installed | 23:16 |
| Seveas | nbogdanoff, and iirc even removed | 23:16 |
| Voyage_ | barbarella - http://pastebin.com/md32bab8 | 23:16 |
| marina | xobius: yes now it works | 23:16 |
| _mug | eTranquility: do you know the IP-adress of your router? if yes try ping IP | 23:16 |
| marina | Phusion: thank you | 23:16 |
| jakel1 | kenro: i'm not a KDE expert... i have no clue when it will be distributed | 23:16 |
| Phusion | marina: you're welcome, just remember there are lots of answers on google | 23:16 |
| jeff__ | seveas, what is the pastebin website? | 23:16 |
| HigRelyGuy | jake - RU registered? | 23:16 |
| Seveas | !pastebin | jeff__ | 23:16 |
| ubotu | jeff__: 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) | 23:16 |
| starkmjolk | noone here no what could cause "bad EIP value" during boot of latest ubuntu server install? | 23:16 |
| xobius | marina, your browser play divx videos? | 23:16 |
| jakel1 | HigRelyGuy, yes i am | 23:16 |
| HigRelyGuy | can you pm me? | 23:17 |
| LimCore | starkmjolk: not by hw by any chance | 23:17 |
| macksting | Damn. | 23:17 |
| jakel1 | i did HigRelyGuy | 23:17 |
| HigRelyGuy | Bummer. | 23:17 |
| macksting | Thanks. | 23:17 |
| PirateHead | jeff__: Or check channel topic. | 23:17 |
| nbogdanoff | Seveas: so how can i install the base system, trying to do raid according to this site http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SATA_RAID_Howto | 23:17 |
| HigRelyGuy | Actually I got yours but you didn't get mine did you. | 23:17 |
| starkmjolk | LimCore: might be but it works like a charm with freebsd | 23:17 |
| astro76 | HigRelyGuy, you could just join an empty channel like #higrelyguy | 23:17 |
| Seveas | starkmjolk, that sounds slightly scary. Bad instruction pointer can mean defective hardware, memory corruption or broken software. If the install is fairly recent I recommend a reinstall to test | 23:17 |
| HigRelyGuy | astro - thank you! | 23:18 |
| jakel1 | it'd be nice if he put a password no one knows though | 23:18 |
| jakel1 | lol | 23:18 |
| jakel1 | just kidding | 23:18 |
| kenro | jakel1: Thanks. OK having dealt with those agents, Is there a floodspace and someone to look over an error? Not you, Jakel. I've bugged you too much already. | 23:18 |
| Seveas | nbogdanoff, apt-get install ubuntu-{minimal,standard} | 23:18 |
| starkmjolk | Seveas: it is when trying to install, directly after the main menu on the install CD | 23:18 |
| HigRelyGuy | then what - I have to ask someone else to hop in it? | 23:18 |
| Andrew23524534 | Does anyone know of an easy way to split a flac file into multiple files according to a cue file, without having to use the terminal? | 23:18 |
| astro76 | high-freq, yep with /join #channelname | 23:18 |
| sudobash | would anyone be interested to look at an Ubuntu 7.10 kernel panic dump I took pictures of? | 23:18 |
| jakel1 | my name is jakel1 get the one right | 23:18 |
| Seveas | starkmjolk, that could mean defective CD | 23:18 |
| astro76 | HigRelyGuy, , yep with /join #channelname | 23:19 |
| nbogdanoff | Seveas: : and what about 686 ? | 23:19 |
| starkmjolk | Seveas: newly burnt so can be, will check it directly (can't do it from the cd though) | 23:19 |
| Seveas | nbogdanoff, linux-generic | 23:19 |
| kenro | jakel-one, right, sorry | 23:19 |
| nbogdanoff | thanks | 23:19 |
| ryanmf | hey all. i was getting some help in #linuxhelp earlier, and we thought my problem was solved and now it's reappeared. i just bought a computer that has onboard nvidia graphics, and only the latest nvidia drivers (169.04+) are applicable. after a lot of frustration i got those installed, but then i ran the system update and now I'm stuck in 640x480. any suggestions? | 23:19 |
| jakel1 | HigRelyGuy, we are private chatting right now.... what's up | 23:19 |
| barbarella | Voyage_:forget it with the SAA7130, buy an other card ;-) | 23:19 |
| Seveas | sudobash, sure, why not | 23:19 |
| julian__ | hey thanks for that wiki i am rebooting to see what if it fixed it. i read on the wiki that if it says mesa that it did not install right and mine did say mesa | 23:19 |
| jakel1 | kenro: try after me.... j-a-k-e-l-1 | 23:19 |
| HigRelyGuy | K, but once I'm there how to I invite others? | 23:19 |
| sudobash | let me get the best picture | 23:20 |
| nbogdanoff | and how come apt-cdrom add doesnt work in 7.10 | 23:20 |

| sudobash | where do you want me to post the picture? | 23:20 |
| jakel1 | now all at once kenro: jakel1 | 23:20 |

| jakel1 | HigRelyGuy, i dnt think u can in a prvt chat | 23:20 |
| _mug | HigRelyGuy: which channel are you on? | 23:20 |
| kenro | I hate typing. Sorry for offending. | 23:20 |

| Triplenin | I'm burning the cd already! | 23:20 |
| Triplenin | I hope it will work | 23:20 |
| nbogdanoff | i guess the rom drive goes to sleep if inactive for too long ? | 23:21 |
| nickrud | julian__, you probably don't have the kernel driver installed, try sudo modprobe fglrx , log out and back in. If you still have mesa, put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (and use my nick in your lines, that way it won't get lost in the channel flow) | 23:21 |
| eTranquility | _mug: Thanks. "7 packets transmitted, 0 received. 100% packet loss" I take it this means it didn't work? | 23:21 |

| jakel1 | kenro: u can ctcp them to another person | 23:22 |
| kenro | ctcp... that's the prot. | 23:22 |
| Seveas | jeff__, it recognized the cam, not sure if the driver is there | 23:22 |
| Seveas | jeff__, pastebin the output of lsmod | 23:22 |
| jakel1 | in xchat if you right click on their name and select send file i think that will work kenro | 23:22 |
| Voyage_ | barbarella how to try card=? tuner=? | 23:22 |
| _mug | eTranquility: please type "/join etran" | 23:22 |

| astro76 | Andycass1, unless you mean search *in* a file, then grep | 23:24 |
| kenro | Seveas: Tell me grep pipe isn't being phased out... | 23:24 |
| jeff__ | seveas thanks a TON for helping me with this. | 23:24 |

| sudobash | that was kenro saying that not me | 23:27 |

| EADG | then run locate, I think that might work. | 23:27 |
| ader10 | nickrud: do you know of a way to check if it actually is saving to disk? | 23:27 |
| Seveas | jeff__, and check if /dev/video0 exists after doing that | 23:28 |
| Seveas | if not, do dmesg again and pastebin the output | 23:28 |
| Andycass1 | EADG: no, it still doesnt do anything | 23:28 |
| nickrud | ader10, not off the top of my head, no. | 23:28 |

| starkmjolk | Seveas: the CD is good, md5 checks out | 23:29 |

| kenro | sudobash: I'm not smart. I just know a hell of a lot. Unfortunately, not so much about computers. Need pure problemsolving intelligence for this. | 23:29 |
| jeff__ | Seveas, FATAL: Module ov51x not found. | 23:29 |
| IdleOne | Seveas: yeah my digital camera but wifi? not supposed to be no | 23:29 |
| jakel1 | EADG command for what? | 23:29 |
| starkmjolk | Seveas: it's a quite big server, can it just be incompability? | 23:29 |
| mrynit | i have libgtk2.0 installed but an app needs libgtk1.2. if i use synaptic to install libgtk1.2 will there be conflicts with 2.0? | 23:29 |

| Seveas | starkmjolk, then it seems that either you use the cd for the wrong architecture or your hardware is doing weird things | 23:29 |
| mrynit | nickrud: thank you | 23:29 |
| Voyage_ | can any one help me with a aplha tv tuner Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) | 23:30 |
| EADG | Andycass1: find -maxdepth 20 foo | 23:30 |
| Phusion | ryanmf: sounds like your xorg conf got screwed up | 23:30 |
| randorfer | ryanmf: edit your xorg.conf and put in the correct resolution | 23:30 |
| kenro | jakel1: OK yeah, that's people optimizing so heavily toward MS. | 23:30 |
| starkmjolk | Seveas: it might do :) but freebsd can handle it and has done so for quite some time, don't think it is broken | 23:30 |
| EADG | Andycass1: I'll try also, sec. | 23:30 |
| sudobash | anyways just wanted to share the kernel panic maybe it will help the developers, upgraded from 7.06 to 7.10 up to date with sudo apt-get install upgrade/updates and has nvidia driver version 169.07 and it is an AMD 2400+ with 1 GB ram, Nforce chipset | 23:30 |
| Seveas | starkmjolk, then ubuntu doesn't like your h/w | 23:30 |
| starkmjolk | does ubuntu server have a hardware compability list I've missed? | 23:30 |
| randorfer | ryanmf: under your monitor add modes "1280x1024" if thats what your resolution should be | 23:30 |
| Seveas | starkmjolk, try an older version | 23:30 |
| starkmjolk | Seveas: I'm trying to confirm this, but my guess too :) | 23:30 |
| jakel1 | well firefox works fine | 23:31 |
| sudobash | do you need any more info? | 23:31 |
| kenro | jakel1: Use Gnome? Try it in Galeon. I dont use Gnome. | 23:31 |
| jakel1 | so does opera | 23:31 |
| Seveas | I have some compatibility probs with the 2.6.22 kernel with some sata controllers (used in dell pcs) | 23:31 |
| Jangari | hey all, i'm trying to automatically mount a server share with fstab, what line should I add to it? | 23:31 |
| jakel1 | and so does Safari | 23:31 |
| jakel1 | and so does Galeon | 23:31 |
| sudobash | i would think the kernel panic dump would be quit useful for someone | 23:31 |
| randorfer | ryanmf: also make sure that it is loading your video driver, it should say driver "nv" under the video driver section | 23:31 |
| ryanmf | phusion randorfer: thanks guys, i'll give that a shot | 23:31 |
| kenro | OK try it in IE. I'll bet it renders perfectly. | 23:31 |
| mrynit | instead of installing games to home/user is there another location that is better? | 23:31 |
| Seveas | jeff__, ot seems to be ov511 now instead of ov51x | 23:31 |
| sudobash | its an interrupt problem | 23:32 |
| EADG | Andycass1: I keep getting errors on find -maxdepth xx. Anybody else know how to search the whole sys with find? | 23:32 |
| Seveas | mrynit, /usr/local or /opt if you want to share it with all local users | 23:32 |
| IdleOne | Seveas: dmesg seems to give the exact same info as the pastebin I gave you | 23:32 |
| nickrud | mrynit, /usr/local or /opt | 23:32 |

| sudobash | later | 23:32 |
| lem | is there any open Application Lister for gnome or just in general? | 23:32 |
| kenro | jakel1: You could organize an international boycott of websites that don't render properly in Linux browsers... | 23:33 |
| jeff__ | Seveas, okay that time it ran, didnt do anything though... and there is no /dev/vidoe0 | 23:33 |
| randorfer | lem check man apt | 23:33 |
| Seveas | jeff__, then do the dmesg thing | 23:33 |
| randorfer | lem apt is your package manager and thus knows what you installed on your system via it, the man pages will tell you how to show that | 23:33 |
| lem | i mean current open applications, like what Mac OS (classic) has | 23:33 |
| fsufitch | heyy, anybody here know how to enable gtk themes while not in gnome? i'm using fvwm-crystal and trying to get it to be prettyful, but all of my applications have that default gtk yech square grey buttons. is there some way to get my gnome settings for the theme to apply in fvwm? | 23:33 |
| Jangari | strangely, the fonts used in the open source wordpress don't render properly in linux | 23:33 |
| Seveas | lem, system -> administration -> system monitor | 23:33 |
| jakel1 | kenro, it renders in other linux browsers fine just not konqueror | 23:33 |
| kenro | I WANNA WATCH SHOOT EM UP! But I can't get a player to decrypt it! | 23:34 |
| lem | but nothing to show them all in a list? | 23:34 |
| Jangari | anyone help with an fstab issue? | 23:34 |
| jeff__ | dang, I have to step out. | 23:34 |
| juan | im copying a file and kill -9 'process name' wont kill it, how do i stop the process | 23:34 |
| Seveas | lem, ps | 23:34 |
| Seveas | in a terminal :) | 23:34 |
| lem | kenro: grab VLC through synaptic | 23:34 |
| randorfer | lem, you can also add window selector to your gnome bar and it will show you | 23:34 |
| jeff__ | thanks for the help, im going to try and get this going later. | 23:34 |
| lem | heh.. not very widgety | 23:34 |
| randorfer | jaun kill -9 uses pids | 23:34 |
| Jangari | juan, sudo killall 'process name' | 23:34 |
| randorfer | jaun killall uses names | 23:34 |
| Odd-rationale | fsufitch: You can change gtk themes in Fluxbox. but I'm not sure about fvwm | 23:34 |
| lem | randorfer: that's all the windows, not applications | 23:34 |
| EADG | Andycass1: try find -iname *filename* that should search all mountable drives/dirs. | 23:35 |
| Voyage_ | barbarella what now | 23:35 |
| Pie-rat2 | I run apt-mirror on both feisty and gutsy packages... how can i clear out the feisty packages? | 23:35 |
| randorfer | lem, all windows are running applications... | 23:35 |
| kenro | jakel1: Then I misread your listing of browsers. That was all that properly render? Maybe Konq really is dieing. | 23:35 |
| Seveas | lem, I don't know what mac os classic looks like, sorry :) | 23:35 |
| lem | well like firefox, gedit, terminal, etc | 23:35 |
| juan | Jangari: no change | 23:35 |
| randorfer | lem, but ps aux will show you everything currently running, it just depends on what your looking for | 23:35 |
| fsufitch | Odd-rationale: could you tell me more about how you do it in fluxbox? | 23:35 |
| eeeandrew | hi guys. Does anyone know any ubuntu programs similar to microsoft autoroute? | 23:35 |
| soldats | lem, type "top" in a terminal | 23:35 |
| fsufitch | or is it a tool thing | 23:35 |
| ader10 | where is the alsa sound device? TeamSpeak uses OSS at /dev/oss and RecordMyDesktop uses "DEFAULT" | 23:35 |
| soldats | it shows everything | 23:35 |
| Seveas | eeeandrew, google maps in any browser | 23:35 |
| IdleOne | Seveas: if I cant get this camera working and transfer my videos using ubuntu then I will be forced to move to the other desk where there is a computer affected by bug #1 . do you honestly want me to have to suffer that? | 23:35 |
| lem | i was hoping there was something for gnome and outside of the terminal.. | 23:35 |
| fsufitch | Odd-rationale: i'm looking for something shell-like or a config file to put my preferences in | 23:36 |
| kenro | lem: Glad you mentioned vlc. I have a problem I would like you to check a floodpost. | 23:36 |
| eeeandrew | thanx seveas | 23:36 |
| soldats | lem, you could install a dockbar | 23:36 |
| lem | kenro: uhm ok :) | 23:36 |
| Seveas | IdleOne, poor you | 23:36 |
| Pie-rat2 | eeeandrew: firefox maps.google.com | 23:36 |
| IdleOne | lol | 23:36 |
| Seveas | IdleOne, what's the type of your cam? | 23:36 |
| Odd-rationale | fsufitch: In fluxbox, I install gtk-theme-switch. And run it with "switch2" | 23:36 |
| kenro | lem: But... Think you can handle it? | 23:36 |
| randorfer | lem, gnome-system-manager is the equivalent of ctrl + alt + delete in windows (will show all running processes and programs) located under system -> admin -> system monitor | 23:36 |
| lem | soldats: that just might do it, i was wondering if there was a list | 23:36 |
| eeeandrew | thanks pie-rat 2 | 23:36 |
| lem | kenro: i could take a look | 23:37 |
| IdleOne | Seveas: it is a Vuescape digital camcorder | 23:37 |
| Seveas | IdleOne, does /dev/video0 exist after plugging in? | 23:37 |
| soldats | lem, search synaptic for dockbar | 23:37 |
| fsufitch | Odd-rationale: i'll try that | 23:37 |
| kenro | lem: Cool. Want it PM? Or #flood or floodspace? | 23:37 |
| nickrud | fsufitch, you might try gtk-chtheme , it might be compatible with fvwm | 23:37 |
| lem | randorfer: yeah i'm familiar with that. i'm more looking for a Window Selector that only shows applications | 23:37 |
| lem | soldats: mk | 23:37 |
| lem | kenro: pm plz =) | 23:38 |
| kenro | OK hold on... | 23:38 |
| IdleOne | Seveas: no it doesnt | 23:38 |
| Seveas | IdleOne, then google for linux+that type of cam and see which driver you need :) | 23:38 |
| HigRelyGuy | Can someone who knows how to install and remove kernel modules at boot time join #highrely? | 23:38 |
| IdleOne | Seveas: ok hehe | 23:38 |
| fsufitch | Odd-rationale, nickrud : and for those suggested progs, does X have a place I can put "startup" programs that get run whenever i log on? | 23:39 |
| fsufitch | i know kde has .kde/Autostart/ | 23:39 |
| fsufitch | and gnome has something else | 23:39 |
| ader10 | what's the alsa equivalent for /dev/dsp | 23:39 |
| soldats | there is a folder called startup i believe | 23:39 |
| nickrud | fsufitch, I know gnome only, there's also .xinitrc for starting apps in X | 23:39 |
| PurpZeY | fsufitch: system--> pref --> session | 23:39 |
| nickrud | fsufitch, used by startx and the xsession in gdm, don't know how fvwm works though | 23:40 |
| kenro | lem: diallog box doesn't work? Perhaps we need #flood... | 23:40 |
| Odd-rationale | fsufitch: I used only gnome and fluxbox. sorry | 23:40 |
| HigRelyGuy | Help!!! I need a kernel module installation wizard! | 23:40 |
| lem | kenro: kk | 23:40 |
| randorfer | fsufitch: system -> pref -> session or /etc/init.d/rc.* where * is the coresponding runlevel | 23:40 |
| ryanmf | phusion randorfer: if either of you are still available, literally EVERYTHING in xorg.conf is described as "not found". i'm not entirely sure what to make of this. | 23:40 |
| fsufitch | ook | 23:40 |
| Don_ | http://www.vote4freedom08.com/ | 23:40 |
| Don_ | whoops | 23:40 |
| randorfer | ryanmf -- do Xorg --reconfigure | 23:41 |
| Phusion | ryanmf: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 23:41 |
| nickrud | ryanmf, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg for pure default config | 23:41 |
| randorfer | phusion: does Xorg --reconfigure work on ubuntu? | 23:41 |
| Phusion | not a clue | 23:41 |
| Phusion | I always use dpkg | 23:41 |
| fsufitch | PurpZeY, randorfer I don't have those menus, as I'm not in gnome ;) | 23:41 |
| sverige | how do i find the amount of ram my system has? in gnome or terminal. i see some value at bootup but can make out what the actual ram is | 23:41 |
| astro76 | sverige, free -m | 23:42 |
| Andycass1 | how to update locate db? | 23:42 |
| randorfer | fsufitch what are you in? | 23:42 |
| nickrud | randorfer, yes, but the dpkg-reconfigure integrates well with the rest of the system | 23:42 |
| Phusion | sverige: System -> Admin -> System Monitor | 23:42 |
| guilherme | alguem poderia me ajudar sobre o Ubuntu? | 23:42 |
| randorfer | andycass: sudo updatedb? | 23:42 |
| ryanmf | phusion randorfer nickrud: so, um...which of those am i doing? | 23:42 |
| Phusion | mine | 23:42 |
| astro76 | !pt | guilherme | 23:42 |
| ubotu | guilherme: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 23:42 |
| starkmjolk | sverige: cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | 23:42 |
| ader10 | How do I record sound with RecordMyDesktop? | 23:42 |
| ryanmf | phusion: cool. thanks. | 23:42 |
| randorfer | ryanmf: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will ask you questions, Xorg --configure will just try to do it automatically | 23:43 |
| sverige | thanks for the response | 23:43 |
| nickrud | ryanmf, mine! :) | 23:43 |
| fsufitch | randorfer: fvwm-crystal | 23:43 |
| fsufitch | randorfer: www.fvwm-crystal.org | 23:43 |
| randorfer | fsufitch: are you familiar with runlevels? | 23:43 |
| fsufitch | not too familiar | 23:43 |
| nickrud | randorfer, reasonably familiar, what's the question? | 23:44 |
| randorfer | nickrud: fsufitch is asking about startup progs, and thats how it really happens ;-) | 23:44 |
| nickrud | randorfer, I thought it was about starting apps when starting X .. | 23:44 |
| sverige | how can i install the ssh server so i can log in remote to my machine_ | 23:45 |
| randorfer | nickrud: no, runlevels start programs when that runlevel is activeated, X is started via a runlevel | 23:45 |
| sverige | apt-get install ssh open? | 23:45 |
| astro76 | sverige, sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 23:45 |
| sverige | thanks | 23:45 |
| ader10 | How do I record sound with RecordMyDesktop? | 23:46 |
| nickrud | randorfer, gdm is, yes. But the X session is started by gdm, and not by the runlevel init script itself | 23:46 |
| randorfer | nickrud: but im not sitting infront of a ubuntu box (sitting infront of an arch box) so im not sure of the specific locations. | 23:46 |
| KrazyG | Hey all. | 23:46 |
| randorfer | nickrun: exactly?? and also not necessarily gdm is specific usually to gnome, you could also just have startx in a init script | 23:46 |
| KrazyG | I'm looking for some help setting up my tv tuner in ubuntu, anyone be able to lend a hand? | 23:47 |
| randorfer | fsufitch: what was your originally question / what are you trying to do | 23:47 |
| randorfer | nickrun: or even just gnome-session its all just convention | 23:48 |
| sverige | what the best remote desktop that i can use to open a software and have it run even when i log off that session? | 23:48 |
| fsufitch | randorfer: i'm trying to get gtk theming working by default when i log into fvwm | 23:48 |
| sverige | i try nx server but it seems everything get disc when i terminate the connection | 23:48 |
| nickrud | randorfer true. gnome-session is just invoked as an X session, you could put gnome-session in .xinitrc and start gnome on the command line with startx | 23:49 |
| sverige | i want to be able to in initiate a download on a remote machine and drop the connection but the download still occored on the remote machine | 23:49 |
| fsufitch | randorfer: doesn't it just reduce to how do you run an app right after logon? like if i want to start with an xterm every time i log in | 23:50 |
| astro76 | sverige, the vnc server built into gnome (vino) is set up to allow you to control the logged in desktop, which remains logged in after you disconnect | 23:50 |
| randorfer | nickrud: ...didn't I say that? | 23:50 |
| nickrud | randorfer, no, startx in a runlevel script would start a root X session if it worked at all | 23:50 |
| astro76 | sverige, of course the best way is shell only with screen and ssh ;) | 23:50 |
| sverige | but i heard the nx server is better | 23:50 |
| === Monobi_ is now known as Mononi | ||
| astro76 | sverige, it's faster over a slow connection, yes | 23:50 |
| sverige | with ssh can i still have the active download even when i log of the session? | 23:51 |
| randorfer | fsufitch my googling says that normal startup stuff for fvwm is stored in your ~/.fvwm/startup folder | 23:51 |
| astro76 | sverige, maybe you should try the built in first though | 23:51 |
| randorfer | nickrud: that is a good point | 23:51 |
| sverige | what u mean | 23:51 |
| zoidberg_ | hey guys is there a good n64 emulator that works well on ubuntu | 23:51 |
| sverige | i dont mind using the terminal i kind of like it | 23:51 |
| astro76 | sverige, with ssh, you use screen to do that | 23:51 |
| sverige | what mean by screen is that a command | 23:51 |
| fsufitch | randorfer: i wasn't able to find that... but thanks, i'll try it | 23:51 |
| randorfer | fsufitch, do you need more guidance than that or can you figure it out from there? | 23:51 |
| astro76 | sverige, it allows you to create, detach, then reattach later to a shell session(s) | 23:51 |
| sverige | i have ssh set up on the machine | 23:51 |
| Andres22_rio4 | hello.. what this mean? "&echo open 77.90.4.28 21 >> ij &ces\cm" | 23:52 |
| PurpZeY | zoidberg_: http://mupen64.emulation64.com/ | 23:52 |
| nickrud | fsufitch, but randorfer has identified the solution anyway :) | 23:52 |
| fsufitch | randorfer: well, what shell/program would i need to run to make gtk themes work | 23:52 |
| astro76 | sverige, yes screen is a command | 23:52 |
| sverige | i c | 23:52 |
| fsufitch | because, running switch2 runs the switch2 program which pops up a window to pick the theme | 23:52 |
| fsufitch | and i have to click apply | 23:52 |
| sverige | with the shell i can do all kind of batch job or download or whatever i can do in a gui enviroments? | 23:53 |
| PurpZeY | andresj: : looks like the end of a bash script | 23:53 |
| fsufitch | i'm very picky about how many clicks i have to do to start a session, and this is a reason i'm using linux over windows anyway: that it can configure itself | 23:53 |
| Andres22_rio4 | hello.. what this mean? "&echo open 77.90.4.28 21 >> ij &ces\cm" | 23:53 |
| astro76 | sverige, for downloading you can use wget | 23:53 |
| PurpZeY | Andres22_rio4: It is the end of a bash script | 23:53 |
| sverige | and ftp | 23:53 |
| randorfer | fsufitch heh I understand, give me a second | 23:53 |
| astro76 | sverige, indeed | 23:53 |
| Eyemean | sorry but wats the delete command in gutsy pls? | 23:53 |
| nickrud | fsufitch, http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/465/#fvwm-use | 23:53 |
| n00dle | Hiya... any suspend/resume/kernel experts available? | 23:53 |
| soldats | rm | 23:53 |
| astro76 | sverige, wget probably grabs from ftp in addition to http | 23:54 |
| orphean | rm <file> | 23:54 |
| Andres22_rio4 | yes | 23:54 |
| sverige | oh yah what the easiest ftp a newbie can setup without to much trouble_ | 23:54 |
| Andres22_rio4 | but what means? | 23:54 |
| Eyemean | cheers orphean | 23:54 |
| astro76 | sverige, server? | 23:54 |
| sverige | yeah | 23:54 |
| astro76 | sverige, for just yourself or others? | 23:54 |
| PurpZeY | Andres22_rio4: looks like it is pointing to a server going to echo the output of that command....Ask in #bash for more details | 23:54 |
| sverige | me and a few friends | 23:54 |
| sverige | maybe max 10 user | 23:54 |
| Andres22_rio4 | thanks! | 23:55 |

| flyback- | default java replacement gcj doesn't work for shit | 23:56 |
| PurpZeY | See above | 23:56 |
| astro76 | sverige, well one easy way is to just give them accounts on your machine and just use ssh/sftp, assuming you trust them somewhat, though without sudo access they can't really do anything anyway | 23:56 |
| sverige | hmm is it better to install the server version on my machine as it old and i properly use it for ddclient, ftp, firewall, ssh | 23:56 |
| randorfer | fsufitch hrm, not sure what it is going to be for buntu maybe nickrud can give some insight, should be something on the lines of gtk2-window-decorator --replace I believe | 23:56 |

| aszwet1 | and getting the server set up right | 23:57 |
| nickrud | fsufitch, I'd expect gkt-theme-switch to write a ~/.gtkrc-* file, which would define what theme you're using. Set and forget | 23:57 |

| sverige | ? | 23:57 |
| nickrud | flyback-, they make it easy to install the non-free stuff, unlike some other projects though | 23:58 |
| Seveas | sverige, usually the other way around, ssh can compress | 23:58 |
| fsufitch | hm | 23:58 |
| sverige | oh i c | 23:58 |

| kr00l | Can anyone help me with a printer problem | 23:59 |
