| reckahomis1 | what are u talking about ? | 00:00 |
| ronni1 | prav33n: if it doesn't let you specify paritions then you'll have to resize some say they can install linux first then windows but I think you have to mess with mbr or grub to do that and very annoying. Can't you backup files from the drive? | 00:00 |

| axetickle | I'm having trouble getting my Mac (Mac OS X Tiger) to see the shared folders on my Laptop (Ubuntu 7.10). Can anyone help? I think it's a Samba related issue... | 00:01 |
| gyaresu | Schuenemann: Guess? | 00:01 |
| Pelo | sourcemaker, can you mount manualy ? ( my thougth didn'T pan out, I thought there might have been a line in fstab about usb like there is for cdrom) | 00:01 |
| prav33n | ronni1: Now-a-days these rescue disks are so dumb that they don't have any user control | 00:01 |
| CITguy | gyaresu: the window manager is "metacity" | 00:01 |
| gyaresu | prav33n: Windows hates everyone. It will nuke the entire disk. | 00:01 |
| tinman | prav33n: installing windows usually just overwrites the MBR for me which can easily be fixed with live cd | 00:01 |
| Schuenemann | gyaresu, well, yes | 00:02 |
| mikebot | gyaresu: sudo apt-get install xfce? | 00:02 |

| heartsblood | if I apt-get remove esound-common tons of applications want to be removed as well | 00:03 |
| gyaresu | mikebot: xfcd4 (apt-cache search xfcd) | 00:03 |
| prav33n | tinman: However, the IBM site says that the rescue disk will restore the partitions in the HDD to the factory default | 00:03 |

| UbuntuLover | got a weird problem. $RANDOM from the shell produces random enough numbers, but if I make a script that does an `echo $RANDOM', and run it repeatedly, I get very predictable strings of sequential numbers.

| flamsmark | it just kills my session | 00:30 |
| mikebot | Pelo: Thanks again. | 00:30 |
| nickrud | Malik_, ubuntu 7.10 comes with compiz , it's the successor to beryl | 00:30 |
| gyaresu | zubat: But for a n00b... He could just have fluxbox at least. | 00:31 |
| Malik_ | sucessor? | 00:31 |
| Pelo | liquidengineer, it doesn'T need to be big, but it needs to be on a bootable media, hence the cd .iso | 00:31 |

| flamsmark | i do have the hibernate icon in the power options dialogue | 00:31 |

| Steven_X | anyone has a NV17 Nvidia card? | 00:31 |
| flamsmark | which i guess is part of what it's meant to do | 00:31 |

| Pelo | Malik_, the installer will guide you throught the proceedure with no problem it will just ask you to resize the windows partiton to it can make room for ubuntu and then it will install a bootloader menu with all the os on it | 00:34 |
| Pelo | !dualboot | Malik_ | 00:35 |
| ubotu | Malik_: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 00:35 |
| tim167 | how can i make a keyboard shortcut to open the filebrowser ? | 00:35 |
| zubat | Malik_: on the ubuntu installation just select the option to resize your hardrive then you wil be able to duel boot windows and linux | 00:35 |
| Malik_ | o... | 00:35 |
| nickrud | tim167, system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts, there's a setting you can do there | 00:35 |
| gyaresu | Malik_: Well you should have backups of important xp data to start with but the ubuntu install cd will auto partition for you. My advice is to get a second hard drive just for linux alone. It will save you a lot of problems (mainly caused by windows). | 00:35 |
| Laney | Is there a way to do apt pinning on a PPA? | 00:35 |
| Malik_ | r u serious? | 00:35 |
| gyaresu | Malik_: Yes. | 00:36 |
| Malik_ | damn i hougth this was gunan be easy | 00:36 |
| tinman | bye bye | 00:36 |
| zubat | Malik_:it can be | 00:36 |
| tim167 | nickrud, ah thanks, can i ad my own command there ? | 00:36 |
| Malik_ | omg shit...can u guys help me with this other problem first | 00:36 |
| nickrud | Malik_, it's good advice if you have the money and bay space. But resizing is easy, as long as you backup first | 00:36 |
| ToddEDM | so a few days ago, i was told to use DVDshrink...... is there any better programs to copy a DVD? | 00:36 |
| Pelo | Malik_, it is easy, just defrag, backup and follow the instrucitons | 00:36 |
| gyaresu | Malik_: language. | 00:36 |
| Malik_ | i was jus about to reboot with the cd | 00:36 |
| Malik_ | and i hit the stupid problem i always get | 00:36 |
| nickrud | tim167, a sec | 00:36 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: didn't work, I still get a device or resource busy when trying to play 2 occurences of *up.wav with aplay | 00:36 |
| Malik_ | lemme explain...listen for a sec | 00:37 |
| Boruta | can someone help me turn my PC on? usplash: Permission denied on startup | 00:37 |
| Pelo | ToddEDM, that's pretty much it | 00:37 |
| Malik_ | for some reason my computer doesn't turn on and sometimes it jus freezes when its on | 00:37 |
| Malik_ | and id noto want that happ. on linux to | 00:37 |
| Pelo | Boruta, what ? please explain in more details | 00:37 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: is it possible to completely remove esd from my system without removing gnome? I didn't have it with my stock install of 7.10 and everything worked great | 00:37 |
| gyaresu | Malik_: That's a hardware problem. Probably either ram or power supply but it could be anything. That's got nothing to do with the software running on it. | 00:38 |
| Malik_ | and this blue windows comes sometimes | 00:38 |
| zubat | Malik_: when you say doesnt turn on do you mean the pc wont atully open or windows wont start | 00:38 |
| Boruta | well there is a rc script in etc/init.d folder | 00:38 |
| crimsun | heartsblood: no, libesd is tied to libgnome | 00:38 |
| nickrud | tim167, are you running compiz or the plain desktop? | 00:38 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: I can't remove or purge esound-common without removing the entire gnome desktop | 00:38 |
| Malik_ | it doens't load os | 00:38 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: >< | 00:38 |
| Pelo | later folks | 00:38 |
| Malik_ | and rite now when it was on i got this stupid blue screen | 00:38 |
| Boruta | this script calls unsplash daemon and it returns permission denied | 00:38 |
| nickrud | Pelo, see you soon. I guess it's gonna be a short party tonight | 00:38 |
| crimsun | heartsblood: make a new user, add it to the audio group, and see if the symptom persists | 00:38 |
| zubat | Malik_:thats why windows is bad | 00:38 |
| Boruta | and PC stops | 00:38 |
| Malik_ | this was the eprfect computer for linux | 00:38 |
| Malik_ | r u sure this is a windows problem | 00:39 |
| Boruta | i dont made any modification it worked until last session | 00:39 |
| truna | Boruta, did you modify anything recently under that /etc/init.d ? | 00:39 |
| Boruta | nothing | 00:39 |
| zubat | Malik_: you could reformat windows and this time install it on a 10GB part ion and the install ubuntu on a 10GB partition yes it is likley a windows problem | 00:40 |
| Malik_ | how much space does jus the linux installation take upp? | 00:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | about 4 | 00:40 |
| === Kefka` is now known as TuroK | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | 20 gig isnt much for a dual boot setup.. what about swap? | 00:41 |
| === TuroK is now known as Kefka` | ||
| truna | Boruta, thats really odd, look at the time stamp in /etc/init.d and /etc/rcS.d to kind see if anything got modified recently | 00:41 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: sorry you'll have to refresh my memory how do I add a user to a group from the term? | 00:41 |
| bsdnewb07 | id use more vmware or xen for 20gb lol | 00:41 |
| bsdnewb07 | hardly worth a headache | 00:41 |
| nils__ | server tsirc.dyn.pl | 00:41 |
| zubat | Malik_: ubuntu dont take much space but I think you should have at least 10gb to store your files | 00:42 |
| crimsun | heartsblood: sudo adduser user group | 00:42 |
| zubat | Malik_:10GB is small in its self | 00:42 |
| tim167 | hmm i try to make a shortcut with Super L + E (that is, Windows key + E) but Keyboard Shortcuts doesn't allow me to type another key after Super L, that means i can only assign one function with that key, is there a way to use this in combination with another key ? | 00:42 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: ty | 00:42 |
| gyaresu | crimsun: any difference there with 'gpassword -a user group' ? | 00:42 |
| nickrud | tim167, yes, are you using compiz or the plain desktop | 00:42 |
| zubat | Malik_: Why do you still need windows to be installed? | 00:42 |
| truna | Malik what do you want to use the pc for? maybe a damn small linux with its small footprint adequate for your needs? | 00:42 |
| Roland2 | hi, if i install ubuntu can I install after that office 2003 ( no openoffice ) | 00:43 |
| crimsun | gyaresu: effectively, no | 00:43 |
| gyaresu | crimsun: cool. thanks. | 00:43 |
| tim167 | nickrud, no idea, how do i see that? (its ubuntustudio) | 00:43 |
| nickrud | tim167, if you have wobbly windows or the cube, you have compiz. | 00:43 |
| sleepwal1 | Anyone know why mplayer in firefox won't play movies...it justs buffrrs and freezes on "getting playlist" | 00:43 |
| Malik_ | i jsu want windows | 00:43 |
| tim167 | nickrud, plain desktop then | 00:43 |
| gyaresu | Roland2: if you have legit versions of crossover office and microsoft office then yes. | 00:43 |
| Malik_ | jus so if i can't adapt to linux | 00:43 |
| Malik_ | cause i always mess up with this stuff | 00:44 |
| allobjects | Roland2: do you mean MS Office ? | 00:44 |
| nano__ | hi | 00:44 |
| gyaresu | Roland2: crossover office is like Wine. | 00:44 |
| gyaresu | !hi > nano__ | 00:44 |
| Roland2 | gyaresu : are you sure with crossover is going to work? | 00:44 |
| gyaresu | Roland2: Yes. | 00:44 |
| GepettoBR | Hi, this is the support channel, right? | 00:44 |
| gyaresu | GepettoBR: Yes. | 00:44 |
| zubat | Malik_: I see well you could just try out the live cd se if u adapt to that | 00:44 |
| GepettoBR | I'm a newbie looking for help | 00:44 |
| truna | Malik you have to open up your hearts and adapt Linux, she is gorgeous and easy... :) | 00:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: What about running persistent mode off the cd and a usb stick until you get comfortable.. It wont be fast but it will work | 00:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ask > GepettoBR | 00:45 |
| GepettoBR | I'm having a problem making Gutsy automount a partition | 00:45 |
| gyaresu | !ask > GepettoBR | 00:45 |
| zubat | Malik_: and stop being so negative:) | 00:45 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud, the last line i get before the break between the shutdown and my reboot is: | 00:45 |
| flamsmark_ | Jan 4 19:34:07 Shadow kernel: [27304.472000] PM: suspend-to-disk mode set to 'shutdown' | 00:45 |
| gyaresu | GepettoBR: What filesystem on the partition? | 00:45 |
| Malik_ | alrite i wotn be negative how do i run the live cd jus to try | 00:45 |
| GepettoBR | !ask | 00:45 |
| 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. :-) | 00:45 |
| GepettoBR | ok thx | 00:45 |
| zubat | Malik_: just throw it in ure pc and reboot | 00:45 |
| nickrud | tim167 run gconf-editor, navigate to /apps/metacity in the left pane and open the tree there. You'll see keybindings_commands (where you put the command you want to run) and global keybindings, where you put the action key. <Super>t would be the windows key + t | 00:45 |
| nano__ | i had a theoretical question about how alsa works, my understanding is that ALSA is loaded as a module, and furthermore, this module has its own generic drivers that are stored in /dev folder..........these drivers are completely different to any preloaded linux kernel drivers...is this correct? | 00:45 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: I added the user to the audio group but the gnome volume control gives me this error; "The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means that you either don't have the right Gstreamer plugins installed, or that you dont have a sound card configured" | 00:46 |
| zubat | Malik_: do you use wireless? | 00:46 |
| GepettoBR | How do I make Gutsy x64 automount an NTFS partition on boot? | 00:46 |
| Malik_ | na | 00:46 |
| zubat | Malik_: cool | 00:46 |
| truna | Malik make sure your pc can boot from a CD, so go to bios and make sure CD drive is the 1st to boot | 00:46 |
| Malik_ | but i might | 00:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: Put it in the drive and power up.. Your system is most likely ablet to boot to a cd | 00:46 |
| === Kefka` is now known as Terabyte | ||
| Malik_ | i hav wirless laptop though | 00:46 |
| gyaresu | nano__: Have you tried the alsa forums/irc room? | 00:46 |
| tim167 | nickrud, ok thanks ill check that out | 00:46 |
| === Terabyte is now known as Hannibal | ||
| Malik_ | omg...u guys were rong | 00:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: If it does not boot.. then check bios/cmos for boot order | 00:46 |
| zubat | Malik_: ? | 00:46 |
| gyaresu | GepettoBR: You need ntfs-3g and then edit the /etc/fstab file | 00:46 |
| nano__ | gyaresu> yes i have, i have read the alsa-howto but i want to make certain i fully understand | 00:46 |
| Malik_ | its not a computer windows problem | 00:46 |
| Malik_ | windows* | 00:46 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: aplay says can not find card ' ' | 00:46 |
| Malik_ | cause the cd wotn boot | 00:47 |
| === Hannibal is now known as Kefka| | ||
| nickrud | flamsmark_, try looking at the preceeding 30 or so lines as well | 00:47 |
| erUSUL | nano__: nope; in dev you only have the dev nodes (dev files) that are the userspace interface to the kernel modules that are the actual drivers | 00:47 |
| Pici | !enter | 00:47 |
| ubotu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:47 |
| zubat | Malik_: no one said that | 00:47 |
| Malik_ | if it didi boot then iw ould know its windows problem | 00:47 |
| Malik_ | ppl did | 00:47 |
| zubat | Malik_: say what exactly? | 00:47 |
| crimsun | nano__: no, that's incorrect. | 00:47 |
| zubat | Malik_: that cd dont boot | 00:47 |
| Malik_ | thats most lily its a windows problem | 00:47 |
| === Kefka| is now known as Kefka` | ||
| GepettoBR | gyaresu: I have Gutsy x86 on one machine and x64 on another. The x64 won't automount, but the fstab entries are identical | 00:47 |
| crimsun | heartsblood: did you log out of your primary user account? | 00:47 |
| nano__ | erUSUL: but it is correct that alsa is simply a module, and it has its own drivers | 00:47 |
| nano__ | crimsun: what exactly is incorrect | 00:48 |
| nickrud | tim167, and for the ones listed in keyboard shortcuts, you'll find those in /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings | 00:48 |
| allobjects | I have 1 x fast desktop and 1 x older desktop box. I would like to have the slower box to be a seemless lightweight client to the faster box. Does anyone recommend best approach ? | 00:48 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud, it doesn't seem like there's much about it there | 00:48 |
| erUSUL | nano__: alsa is an infrastructure to support the writting of sound drivers for linux the same way ndis is a infraestructure to build net drivers on windows (hence ndiswrapper) | 00:48 |
| gyaresu | GepettoBR: possible problem with the ntfs-3g package? Sorry I don't know. | 00:48 |
| nano__ | that is what i have understood by reading the alsa-howto | 00:48 |
| Malik_ | since the cd wont boot either it means its nto a windows problem but a compuetr problem | 00:48 |
| crimsun | nano__: your statement three minutes ago. | 00:48 |
| zubat | Malik_: 99.99% problems you get under that discrase of a OS is proberly windows fault | 00:48 |
| Malik_ | so u donot be so negative aobu t windows | 00:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: Of course you need the standard livecd from ubuntu to run it... | 00:48 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: from gnome yes, however he is logged in as a tty term (I think it's called tty anyway. alt-tab-f1 screen?) | 00:48 |
| gyaresu | Malik_: Have you changed the bios option to be able to boot from cd? | 00:48 |
| erUSUL | nano__: alsa uses many modules some are generic and some are to support a specific piece of hardware | 00:48 |
| nano__ | hmmm so you are saying that alsa is analagous to ndiswrapper | 00:48 |
| crimsun | nano__: "alsa" has two components, a kernelspace- (alsa-kernel or alsa-driver) and a userspace-portion (alsa-lib). | 00:48 |
| GepettoBR | gyaresu: so I reinstall ntfs-3g? with sudo aptitude remove and sudo aptitude install? | 00:49 |
| Malik_ | yea i always boot form cd | 00:49 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, try looking further along in the startup, for anything about trying to return from suspend-to-disk | 00:49 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: should I log him out of the system completely? | 00:49 |
| zubat | Malik_: sorry but I relly hate windows I tried to make it work for me but no...it just plained sucked even bill gates admite it | 00:49 |
| erUSUL | nano__: no; no it is anologous to ndis on windows | 00:49 |
| crimsun | heartsblood: what does /proc/asound/cards show? | 00:49 |
| Malik_ | no he didn;t | 00:49 |
| nano__ | i mean ndiswrapper | 00:49 |
| gyaresu | GepettoBR: It might be a bug. Have you looked it up. x64 is usually more annoying for this sort of thing. (More underdeveloped) | 00:49 |
| zubat | Malik_: ha hold on 1 second ill try and find the article | 00:49 |
| crimsun | nano__: no, it's not similar to ndiswrapper, because it doesn't load any runtime device (hardware) information from a userspace file. | 00:50 |
| Malik_ | alrite | 00:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: Are you in need of help with Ubuntu or not.. | 00:50 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud the word 'suspend' appears only once in the log | 00:50 |
| Malik_ | iam | 00:50 |
| gyaresu | Malik_: If you boot from some disks and can't boot from the ubuntu one then it's probably your drive not able to read that particular disk. | 00:50 |
| zubat | Malik_: read it man http://www.bbspot.com/News/2001/06/gates.html | 00:50 |
| GepettoBR | gyaresu: I've only looked on the forums, nothing woked (I posted a thread there just now). I'll check launchpad thx | 00:50 |
| tim167 | nickrud, in keybinding_commands, i can add a key to command_1, but how do i define the command to run ? | 00:50 |
| Malik_ | alrite but first lemme try and solve this problem | 00:50 |
| nano__ | crimsun: the alsa-howto talked about alsa being a generic sound driver | 00:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: Did you verify the md5 of your download before the burn. Did you test to see if it boots on any other syste or hardware? | 00:51 |
| erUSUL | nano__: alsa is a software library to write sound card driver for the linux kernel | 00:51 |
| heartsblood | 0 [V8237 ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237 | 00:51 |
| heartsblood | VIA 8237 with ALC850 at 0xc000, irq 19 | 00:51 |
| crimsun | nano__: very briefly, the kernelspace portions of alsa are composed of a glue layer, some generic core routines, and some specific drivers for codecs specific to your installed hardware. | 00:51 |
| heartsblood | sorry didn't mean to spam | 00:51 |
| Malik_ | yea i did lal that | 00:51 |
| mete | hi. I've loaded the ubuntu-server i386 cd, and installed it. but it installs this kernel: 2.6.22-14-server SMP i686... why it installs the i686 server? :S | 00:51 |
| Malik_ | the cd boots on my other computer | 00:51 |
| mete | äh.. i mean, kernel xD | 00:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: Did you have the cd do a self test for errors, did you md5 the cd.. | 00:51 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: I posted your request without your name | 00:51 |
| Malik_ | yes | 00:51 |
| Malik_ | i followed all the steps | 00:52 |
| Malik_ | o wait it finall booted | 00:52 |
| nickrud | tim167, you'd put the command in keybinding_commands (like for command 1 , gnome-terminal --geometry=80x50) and then the keybinding in global_keybindings (like run_command_1 , <Suuper>t) | 00:52 |
| === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak | ||
| crimsun | nano__: "alsa" is a "sound driver" and an "api". If you understand the ambiguous usage, then you're halfway there. | 00:52 |
| gyaresu | mete: What chip do you have? | 00:52 |
| allobjects | Can someone recommend or have a link for using slower machine as lightweight client ? | 00:52 |
| Roland2 | hi, trying to install ubuntu and I'm getting your pnp bios caused a fatal error attempting to continue ( kernel panic ) | 00:52 |
| gyaresu | allobjects: Check out xubuntu | 00:52 |
| mete | gyaresu: intel 3000 | 00:52 |
| gyaresu | mete: P4 then? | 00:52 |
| erUSUL | !edubuntu | allobjects | 00:53 |
| ubotu | allobjects: Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org | 00:53 |
| nano__ | crimsun: im not sure what you mean by ambiguous usage.....do you mean modularization | 00:53 |
| gyaresu | mete: 3000MHz? | 00:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: How fast is this hardware... with only a 20 gig drive I suspect your system is not all that new.. How much ram.. if 256 only.. then how much is shared with the video card? | 00:53 |
| SoulinEther | does anyone know of a panel plugin / command line program that can issue a keyboard command? | 00:53 |
| Malik_ | 512mb ram | 00:53 |
| crimsun | nano__: no, "ambiguous usage" refers to "sound driver" and "api". | 00:53 |
| mete | gyaresu: core2duo pentium 2x1.6ghz | 00:53 |
| SoulinEther | like, you click on it, and it does "Alt+F5" | 00:53 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud, although my swap doesn't seem to be initialising on startup | 00:53 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, well, mine was a simple problem, some laptops simply have problems with hibernate at all. There's one more thing I can suggest: remove splash from the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst , I see a message about trying to resume from disk during startup | 00:53 |
| gyaresu | mete: Then that kernel is fine. | 00:53 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, that would be an issue | 00:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: What about cpu speed? | 00:53 |
| crimsun | heartsblood: does `aplay -Dplughw:0 /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav` work for that user? | 00:54 |
| Malik_ | wats that? | 00:54 |
| mete | gyaresu: Isn't the i686 kernel 64bit? | 00:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: The specs on your system... | 00:54 |
| Malik_ | where do i check that | 00:54 |
| gyaresu | mete: Nope. Just the i686 instruction set. | 00:54 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud on the hcl, my laptop is listed as hibernating fine | 00:54 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, is swap referenced in /etc/fstab ? | 00:54 |
| nano__ | crimsun: so a typical sound output consists of: digital signal from program --> kernel --> alsa api --> alsa driver.....is this correct? | 00:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: What make and model of hardware? | 00:54 |
| allobjects | gyaresu: erUSUL: thanks, aware of xubuntu etc but I mean I want an older machine to seemlessly run a session off another faster box | 00:54 |
| tim167 | nickrud, oh sorry, now i see you said that already, Super! :) | 00:54 |
| Azrael24 | hi guys...quick question, I have two media devices - dvd rom, and dvd ram...however under 'computer' I have CD-ROM 2...which I don't have and it reads 180 gigs - argh! how do I get rid of it? I even deleted the virtual drive (VirtualBox)...any suggestion please? | 00:54 |
| Malik_ | its a compaq computer | 00:54 |
| mete | gyaresu: hmmh okay... :) thx | 00:54 |
| gyaresu | mete: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I686 | 00:54 |
| crimsun | nano__: no. | 00:55 |
| Malik_ | it finally booted the ubuntu cd lets jus see how that it for now | 00:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: If you cant answer simple questions then I cant help.. sorry | 00:55 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud, no it's not | 00:55 |
| Malik_ | can u tell me how i can do the test thing | 00:55 |
| zubat | Malik_: lets solve this what is the issue | 00:55 |
| Malik_ | jus to check how linux is | 00:55 |
| dn4 | does anyone know a good website for applications for computational magnetic fields? | 00:55 |
| gyaresu | allobjects: k12ltsp linux terminal server project | 00:55 |
| zubat | Malik_: does the live cd not work on ure pc | 00:55 |
| Malik_ | rite now lets ignore the issure for a bit cause i wanan try the wununtu | 00:55 |
| Azrael24 | Malik - do you know how to get into your bios? | 00:56 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud, is there a gui that i can use to rewrite fstab safely? | 00:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: What is the make and model of your compaq | 00:56 |
| crimsun | nano__: a native alsa app using alsa natively progresses thusly: app -> alsa-lib -> Linux (-driver/-kernel) -> audio hardware | 00:56 |
| Malik_ | lemme go get the bookelt | 00:56 |
| Malik_ | 1 sec | 00:56 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, I have a line UUID=dc34efb4-4ef5-4b03-8c17-465367b51e82 none swap sw in my /etc/fstab , you can discover the uuid with ls /dev/disks/by-uuid/* -l | 00:56 |
| eventualbuddha | i just got a message on boot saying that "An automatic file system check (fsck) of the root filesystem failed." and that it wants to start a maintenance shell. i typed in what i think is the root password and pressed enter, but nothing is happening. what should i do? | 00:56 |
| Malik_ | i really apperchiate u ehlpin me out | 00:56 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, not that I know of, but there might be | 00:56 |
| sleepwal1 | hey guys I want to switch to the vlc-player for firefoxz instead of the mplayerplguin(its not working)...Im uinistalling mozilla-mplayer...wif I install vlc will it work? | 00:57 |
| nano__ | crimsun: but i thought the whole purpose behind OSS/ALSA is to modularize sound and make it independent of the linux kernel | 00:57 |
| crimsun | nano__: an oss app using alsa's oss emulation progresses thusly: app -> alsa's oss emulation (/dev/dsp*, /dev/mixer*, /dev/audio*) -> Linux (-driver/-kernel) -> audio hardware | 00:57 |
| Azrael24 | Malik - have you noticed when you turn your computer on, you'll see an option for 'boot menu'? | 00:57 |
| allobjects | gyaresu: thanks reading... | 00:57 |
| justmorbid | crimsun: ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1351:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card | 00:57 |
| justmorbid | aplay: main:545: audio open error: No such device | 00:57 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, and sudo fdisk -l will list all your partitions, showing which is sway. If you like, you can put both outputs on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org & I'll help you make the line | 00:57 |
| crimsun | nano__: be careful when intermixing OSS and ALSA. OSS is completely kernelspace. ALSA has both kernelspace and userspace components. | 00:57 |
| Azrael24 | ah nm...just read up | 00:57 |
| justmorbid | crimsun: <-- heartsblood. The other account must have control over the sound card even though it's not logged into gnome | 00:57 |
| nano__ | crimsun: the rabbit hole keeps getting deeper | 00:58 |
| etotheipi | why does running "exec test" close the terminal window? | 00:58 |
| etotheipi | :< | 00:58 |
| * nickrud makes a note to ask about mounting swap early in troubleshooting hibernate | 00:58 | |
| Azrael24 | hi guys...quick question, I have two media devices - dvd rom, and dvd ram...however under 'computer' I have CD-ROM 2...which I don't have and it reads 180 gigs - argh! how do I get rid of it? I even deleted the virtual drive (via VirtualBox)...any suggestion please? | 00:58 |
| Malik_ | my compuetr is a compaq evo d310v | 00:58 |
| justmorbid | crimsun: i'm going to log my main account out of the system completely and see what happens | 00:58 |
| justmorbid | crimsun: restarting gnome 1 more time brb | 00:59 |
| flamsmark_ | 'tis pasted nickrud | 01:00 |
| the7thmagus | is it possible to make a link (shortcut) to a folder on a FAT32 drive? | 01:00 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, what're the urls? | 01:00 |
| crimsun | etotheipi: because that's what the shell builtin does. | 01:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: That comes standard with a 40 gig drive... cpu is celeron 1.7 | 01:00 |
| flamsmark_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50790/ | 01:01 |
| crimsun | etotheipi: more information can be found toward the end of the bash man page [if your user shell is bash]. | 01:01 |
| zubat | <Jack_Sparrow> maybe 20gig is reserved for backing up compaq tend to do that but not with that much room | 01:01 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50790/ i linebroke them with some whitespace | 01:01 |
| Roland2 | Jack_Sparrow : hi trying to install ubuntu and I'm getting your pnp bios caused a fatal error attempting to continue ( kernel panic ) any ideea? thx | 01:01 |
| Azrael24 | the7...have you tried? should work | 01:01 |
| Malik_ | i think my big bro probably didi stuf to this | 01:01 |
| Malik_ | but now he is gone to a diffrent country | 01:01 |
| the7thmagus | Malik: yes I have. it says it is not allowed | 01:01 |
| Malik_ | but he probably jsu replaced the hd | 01:01 |
| Azrael24 | Malik...how big is the drive? | 01:02 |
| Malik_ | drive? | 01:02 |
| Azrael24 | hd | 01:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zubat: they would not have 20 gig for a restore partition | 01:02 |
| zubat | zubat: true but im saying maybe when he played around with it he Didnt use the full 40 to install | 01:03 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, I see them, but you didn't do ls /dev/disks/by-uuid -l , I don't see the links to the devices. I need to know which is /dev/sda1 | 01:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zubat: That is not the point anyhow.. First he needs to get the cd to boot which it finally did. | 01:03 |
| zubat | <Jack_Sparrow> it did cool:D | 01:03 |
| Azrael24 | anyone here know how to get rid of CD-ROM 2? it's 180 gigs on my 7.10 for some reason | 01:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: I have no problem with it being a 20 gig drive.. I dont hink you can even get a 20 any more.. so he may have just stuck in an old one for you | 01:04 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud: corrected at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50791/ | 01:04 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: even with a full reboot the user I added can't get access to the sound card. any ideas? | 01:04 |
| Malik_ | so wats the big problem here .....do u want me to try runnign windows xp again and tell u wat the blue screen says | 01:05 |
| Malik_ | cause it has this ocde on it to | 01:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: No, dont care about that.. but if you plan on dual booting.. you really will have an easier time if you reinstall windows first. | 01:05 |
| heartsblood | whats the command to list the groups a user is in? | 01:06 |
| crimsun | heartsblood: did you add that user to the 'audio' group/ | 01:06 |
| heartsblood | almost positive, but i'm trying to double check | 01:06 |
| ipzim | Anyone knows where I can get Apache2 init script for Ubuntu? | 01:06 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, add the two lines at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50792/ to /etc/fstab | 01:06 |
| crimsun | heartsblood: groups user | 01:06 |
| ipzim | heartsblood: have a look at /etc/group | 01:06 |
| Malik_ | forget that can u jsu tell me how to try ubuntu on the live cd withotu installing | 01:06 |
| crimsun | nano__: it's not very deep at all. What's confusing? | 01:06 |
| Malik_ | or would a memory test help? | 01:06 |
| heartsblood | apprently he's not. | 01:07 |
| tekteen | Malik_: Download and burn the live cd | 01:07 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud, should i remove the existing sda1 line? | 01:07 |
| Malik_ | i didi | 01:07 |
| PurpZeY | Malik_: To run the LiveCD you just put it in and set your bios to boot to CD | 01:07 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, what does it say? | 01:07 |
| Malik_ | yes | 01:07 |
| tekteen | Malik_: reboot with it in the computer | 01:07 |
| Malik_ | yes | 01:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: Once you fix or reinstall windows then come back and we will help you install ubuntu. When you install windows it would be best if you create a 10 gig partition and install to that, but if you cant, ubuntu can resize to down to 10 gig for you beofre it installs | 01:07 |
| zubat | Malik_: so wats the prob | 01:07 |
| nano__ | crimsun: i read the alsa-howto and it seems a little confusing | 01:08 |
| Malik_ | where do i go form menu | 01:08 |
| Malik_ | to jsu try ubuntu not insatll | 01:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: Click on start | 01:08 |
| PurpZeY | Malik_: Just hit "start and install" it will not install | 01:08 |
| Msword | help resolution | 01:08 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: ok i'm 100% positive he's in the right group this time, restarting gnome brb | 01:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Malik_: It will not install until it gets to a desktop icon where you will need to click an icon that clearly says INSTALL | 01:09 |
| Msword | grr, cant remember the commands. | 01:09 |
| wince | Is there an easy way to see all potential upgrades of installed packages in a repository I have pinned < 0 (say a backports repository) so that I can cherry pick the ones I want? | 01:09 |
| crimsun | nano__: where are you confused? | 01:09 |
| flamsmark_ | it's in the paste bin at the bottom of the first post nickrud. there's a commented out sda1 title, then it has a real line with a different uuid as vfat | 01:09 |
| Malik_ | okay | 01:09 |
| Odd-rationale | wince: you can use synaptic | 01:09 |
| Msword | i need help setting up the resolution to 1680 x 1050, if anyone could help | 01:09 |
| nano__ | crimsun: for example, the howto gave me the idea that linux audio drivers do not enter the equation at all when OSS and ALSA are being used | 01:09 |
| nano__ | crimsun: the whole purpose of ALSA is to modularize the audio system | 01:09 |
| wince | Odd-rationale: Does that deal with apt-pinning? | 01:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Msword: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:09 |
| allobjects | gyaresu: ltsp looks interesting but not sure if I want to go whole hog and have the lightweight client network boot | 01:09 |
| Msword | thanks jack_sparrow | 01:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 01:10 |
| nano__ | crimsun: the whole purpose of ALSA is to modularize the audio system.......is this assumption correct? | 01:10 |
| Odd-rationale | wince: apt-pinning? | 01:10 |
| nano__ | crimsun: for example, the howto gave me the idea that linux audio drivers do not enter the equation at all when OSS and ALSA are being used | 01:10 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, I was ignoring the vfat thing, so yes comment it out. What fat16 device do you have, anyway? | 01:10 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: It worked, and I was able to hear more than 1 instance of the sound | 01:10 |
| crimsun | nano__: OSS and ALSA are both "Linux audio drivers" | 01:10 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: so what does that mean, is my alsarc file screwing things up? | 01:11 |
| flamsmark_ | i used to have another two partitions on this disk | 01:11 |
| flamsmark_ | but they're gone | 01:11 |
| FastZ | I've run into some problems. I just installed Madwifi-ng on my toshiba satellite and i have a perfect wireless connection with these drivers. I have an Atheros AR5006EG (so lspci says) wireless adapter (built-in). My problem is that I have kismet installed on this laptop but when I run sudo kismet, i'm told the following: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d55246789 IFCONFIG shows eth0, lo, and wlan0 | 01:11 |
| nano__ | crimsun: the purpose of OSS and ALSA is to make sound drivers independent such that a user need not recompile the kernel if a new sound card is installed | 01:11 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud, i used to have another two partitions on this disk, but i reorganised it | 01:11 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, how about putting up the edited /etc/fstab for luck :) | 01:11 |
| Odd-rationale | wince: Try opening synaptic. on the left column, select Custom fiters. then select Upgradeable. See if that helps | 01:12 |
| crimsun | heartsblood: if you're using the fairly common surround51 asoundrc, then it's not dmixed, so yes, that could very well explain it. | 01:12 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, do you have a usbstick plugged in by any chance? | 01:12 |
| flamsmark_ | it looks like i should actually remove some other useless things too nickrud one sec | 01:12 |
| josspyker | FastZ: edit kismet.conf | 01:12 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud, no, but i do have an sd-reader | 01:12 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, just comment out first, I'll take a look if that's ok | 01:12 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, that's probably it then | 01:12 |
| Msword | jack_sparrow, what would an ati 2400 pro graphics card need for a driver? | 01:12 |
| crimsun | nano__: that's correct, but modularity (i.e., *.ko) does not preclude a complete abstraction | 01:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Msword: select ati | 01:13 |
| nano__ | crimsun: i gotta run, i got to do some more reading....thnx for your help....ttyl | 01:13 |
| crimsun | nano__: in alsa's case, nor does modularity consist of purely kernel or purely userspace. | 01:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Msword: Are you using gutsy? have you tried to enable restricted drivers | 01:13 |
| zubat | Msword: if you want the most up to date ati drivers use envy | 01:14 |

| zubat | Jack_Sparrow, ha okay I see you do have an excelent point I just never sqw anything wrong with it | 01:16 |
| matt__ | just wondering if anyone has any experience with dell ubuntu. i am also wondering if anyone knows if the 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT-DDR3 is a decent card, expecially in ubuntu. | 01:16 |

| Msword | jack_sparrow, i'm using 7.10, and no i haven't tried restricted drivers | 01:16 |
| zubat | true | 01:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zubat: When was the last time you upgraded? | 01:16 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, looks good, try sudo swapon , then free (should show if swap is available) | 01:17 |
| * PurpZeY snickers at Jack_Sparrow | 01:17 | |
| ferguscan | By default, my Ubuntu install doesn't retain history across bash or vim sessions. How can I enable this functionality? | 01:17 |
| PurpZeY | Msword: Restricted drivers does what envy does. | 01:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Msword: Did you see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 01:17 |
| zubat | <Jack_Sparrow>i updated the drivers a week or so ago | 01:17 |
| FastZ | oops, i was pasting that stuff to the Ubuntu bug documentation pastebin by mistake | 01:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | PurpZeY: No it does not | 01:17 |
| Beetle | hallo | 01:17 |
| PurpZeY | Jack_Sparrow: Perhaps I misspoke. It accomplishes that goal. | 01:17 |
| nickrud | tim167, you can run xev in a terminal, and then press keys while the mouse is in the white box. Should show you the keycodes | 01:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zubat: My question was.....When was the last time you upgraded? Not updated... | 01:18 |
| tim167 | nickrud, ok thanks again | 01:18 |
| flamsmark_ | nuckrud, you mean save the fstab, then sudo swapon ? | 01:18 |
| nickrud | zubat, next kernel, you'll have a broken display | 01:18 |
| Msword | no | 01:18 |
| PurpZeY | Jack_Sparrow: My point was to tell him that Restricted Drivers does the job. | 01:18 |

| heartsblood | crimsun: according to the alsa wiki "For ALSA 1.0.9rc2 and higher you don't need to setup dmix. Dmix is enabled as default for soundcards which don't support hw mixing" does that not hold true if I make my own asoundrc file? | 01:19 |

| flamsmark_ | nickrud, do i need to pass some parameters with swapon? | 01:20 |
| crimsun | heartsblood: generally, correct. You need to remember to add the appropriate dmix section if applicable. | 01:20 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, no | 01:20 |

| progcesar | hey | 01:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zubat: So then you have something to look forward to.... | 01:20 |
| heartsblood | crimsun: yea i'm reading how to do that now | 01:20 |
| zubat | <Jack_Sparrow> and why is thaaat?? | 01:20 |
| flamsmark_ | well, it's just giving me 'usage: swapon [-hV]..." | 01:21 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, hm, maybe swapon -a | 01:21 |
| Msword | jack_sparrow, it tells me it knows nothing | 01:21 |
| tim167 | hmm, Keyboard Shortcuts changed <Super>e to just E...strange | 01:21 |
| function1 | crimsun: know your way around alsa? | 01:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zubat: You used envy.. when you try to upgrade... I expect you will lose your fondness for envy when your system breaks | 01:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ati | 01:21 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:21 |
| nickrud | tim167, keyboard shortcuts is a bit brain dead | 01:21 |
| WNxCryptic | Muwahahaha! I got vsftpd and apache2 working! Now only my modules are left | 01:21 |
| crimsun | function1: yes. | 01:22 |
| WNxCryptic | Is there a way to support asp.net on a linux web server? | 01:22 |
| zubat | <Jack_Sparrow> YES I CANT WAIT seeing my system brake is going to be so fun:D | 01:22 |
| WNxCryptic | I thought I read something about "mono" or something like that | 01:22 |
| PurpZeY | zubat: It will be a pita | 01:22 |
| nickrud | tim167, you can do smarter changes at /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings | 01:22 |
| zubat | :( | 01:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zubat: I am not happy about it either... just trying to prepare you | 01:22 |
| zubat | <Jack_Sparrow> thanks | 01:22 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud | 01:23 |
| tim167 | nickrud, yes i added <Super>e there, but it results in opening home with just e too! | 01:23 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud, that worked | 01:23 |
| * nickrud admires crimsun's skill at understatement | 01:23 | |
| zubat | <Jack_Sparrow> will it still happen if I configured xorg myself:) | 01:23 |
| soldats | tim167, super should actually be Super_L or Super_R | 01:23 |
| tim167 | soldats, yes, same with Super_L | 01:24 |
| nickrud | tim167, odd. | 01:24 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud, thanks. might not help me with my hibernation problem, but one down, as they say. i'm off, i have a plane to catch in seven hours, and i haven't packed. cheers | 01:24 |
| nickrud | flamsmark_, ok if you have swap according to free, try a suspend | 01:24 |
| function1 | crimsun: i'm having a very strange problem.. multiple apps can definitely output audio simultaneously (dmix is enabled by default i guess and i believe i have a hardware mixer), but i have one sucker app that tells me "snd_pcm_open ... busy" when i tell it to use alsa when something else is making audio | 01:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zubat: If you ran envy to install the drivers, it is still a strong concern | 01:24 |
| Msword | jack_sparrow, i put in my model(Radeon ATI HD 2400 PRO) into the text box, it got to the next promt, and won't do anything when i press enter | 01:24 |
| flamsmark_ | nickrud, no harm in trying | 01:25 |
| zubat | <Jack_Sparrow> hmmm okay how do i update then I wont to see this problem right know I want to get into it then try and get out I like doin tat:) | 01:25 |
| function1 | crimsun: should probably be asked in a support group for that app, but any idea how that could be happening, when everything else works fine? | 01:25 |
| flamsmark_ | there's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home | 01:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Msword: If you are running sudo dpkg.... you need to only select the ati card.. dont try to put the info in yourself... just select the defaults after that... | 01:26 |
| nickrud | soldats, when did that change, it used to work fine | 01:26 |
| crimsun | function1: depends whether that app respects 'default' or attempts to open 'hw:X,Y' or 'plughw:X,Y' directly. | 01:26 |
| crimsun | function1: sane native alsa apps do the former | 01:26 |
| Msword | jack_sparrow, i just checked the restricted drivers thing, and it told me i didn't need any? | 01:26 |
| ipzim | Unable to execute /etc/init.d/apache2 ... why is that? | 01:26 |
| crimsun | function1: it's difficult to troubleshoot without knowing more configuration information regarding which apps are in play, though | 01:26 |
| tim167 | I'll even after restarting X, seems like the Super_L key is stuck or something...man as soon it has the word windows in it smells like trouble ;) | 01:26 |
| crimsun | function1: which audio card are you seeing that error with? | 01:27 |
| function1 | crimsun: yea, the interface doesnt tell me much of what its doing.. i can pick "HDA Intel hardware" or "HDA Intel plugin" but it doesnt tell me if its using default or a specific card index | 01:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Msword: Then it is up to date, or as up to date as the ati drivers are without trying them manually... Did you see the link on installing the binary drivers.. | 01:27 |
| soldats | nickrud, you mean the super keys, if so, ive always known them as super_l and super_r im not sure if "xev" in terminla works in ubuntu like it does in xubuntu but it will tell you the keycode for any key so 'e' should be mapped "Super_L+e" | 01:27 |
| function1 | crimsun: yea HDA Intel, chipset is something like AD1981HD | 01:28 |
| crimsun | function1: the majority of those chipsets do not support native multiopen. | 01:28 |
| crimsun | function1: thus, dmix&dsnoop are necessary | 01:28 |
| nrober | when I add anything to the startup sessions, whatever i added isn't saved, when i close the sessions window, the changes ive made are gone, anyone know how to fix this? | 01:28 |

| nickrud | soldats, it must be something going on with keyboard shortcuts, since compiz uses <Super> and metacity responded to it (recently, anyway) | 01:28 |
| function1 | crimsun: ok ok. well i guess dmix is doing its job otherwise, because with *everything* else, the multiple streams are mixed to mush. | 01:29 |
| Colorshade | Hum.. can I "redirect" all my sound to a USB Soundcard, so that every sound (including startup sounds and, for instance: YouTube) is redirected through the USB soundcard? | 01:29 |

| PurpZeY | SoulinEther: Sounds like python perhaps....My scripting knowledge is limited. | 01:50 |
| Xintruder | Im not sure where to start though | 01:50 |
| PurpZeY | Xintruder: That will need Samba probably....No liveCD needed...XP and Ubuntu play nice using samba | 01:50 |
| mikebot | How can I look up errors from gnomebaking? | 01:50 |
| Pelo | geoff_, pastebin your menu.lst file and the output of typing blkid in the terminal | 01:50 |
| SoulinEther | awesome PurpZey! I found a page using google that is completely to my liking | 01:50 |
| Pelo | !pastebin | geoff_ | 01:50 |
| ubotu | geoff_: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 01:50 |

| function1 | crimsun: i can specify audiooutdev for audio out devices, but looks like it wants numbers.. (ambiguous) | 01:51 |
| PurpZeY | jack_: An ISO of Ubuntu? | 01:51 |
| jack_ | yes | 01:51 |
| Xintruder | !samba | 01:51 |
| 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. | 01:51 |
| jack_ | PurpZeY: yes | 01:51 |
| crimsun | function1: what's the syntax noted? | 01:51 |
| PurpZeY | Xintruder: I don't know, check the manuals. | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | msword: gparted can do it .. but please read up on uuid so you will understand what happened when it does not boot. | 01:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !uuid | 01:52 |
| 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) | 01:52 |
| PurpZeY | jack_: Very easy, just download the ISO, then use the freeware provided on the download page | 01:52 |
| jack_ | i cant create one from the disc i have? | 01:52 |
| geoff_ | Pelo, http://pastebin.com/m44ada67f | 01:52 |
| function1 | crimsun: it says "-audioindev ... -- audio in devices; e.g., "1,3" for first and third" and same for audiooutdev | 01:52 |
| Pelo | geoff_, hold on | 01:52 |
| jack_ | PurpZeY: i cant create one from the disk i have? | 01:52 |
| geoff_ | lol gparted is stuck.... | 01:52 |
| PurpZeY | jack_: If you already downloaded a recent version of the ISO you can use that | 01:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jack_: Yes you can create an iso from a cd that you have | 01:53 |
| msword | jack_sparrow: how exactly can gparted do this? i can't figure out how to | 01:53 |
| ravun | anyone know how to delay something from starting for a few seconds? I'm trying to add a startup session but I want to make it wait 10 seconds first. | 01:53 |
| winlover_41 | I'm trying to dual-boot Vista and Ubuntu. I have about 30 GB of unallocated space. If I choose "Guided - use the largest continuous free space", will the installer mess with my Windows partitions during the install? | 01:53 |
| crimsun | function1: eek, so it does seem hardcoded to hw: | 01:53 |
| jack_ | Jack_Sparrow: how do i do this? | 01:53 |
| * PurpZeY hears Jack_Sparrow's line echo "when your system won't boot...." | 01:53 | |
| Pelo | geoff_, I thought both ubuntu and windows were on the same hdd, sorry | 01:53 |

| hello_ | I don't think my flash problem is the one everyone else is describing. Some flash videos load (like the bar at the top of YouTube), but some freeze things up | 01:54 |
| geoff_ | Pelo, my fault i may have said they were without realizing it | 01:54 |
| PurpZeY | jack_: On the Ubuntu website there are instructions and software provided for burning the CD....It is really easy if you just use those steps, and it will ensure the CD is done right | 01:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | msword: I would suggest the gparted livecd to do it.. Further I would suggest that you use the other tow existing partitions for /home and /var or some other rather than combining them all. | 01:54 |
| Xintruder | PurpZeY: is using Samba the simplest way to do this via network? | 01:54 |
| function1 | crimsun: i guess its a matter of reading up on libasound then? | 01:55 |
| PurpZeY | Xintruder: I've never done it, but the last time I toyed with the idea that was what I intended to do, and that's what almost everyone suggests | 01:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jack_: I would do it with the dd command from a cli.. assuming you have a working ubuntu / linux install. | 01:55 |
| jack_ | i have the cd i dont need to create it ... i just want to make an iso image to have backed up | 01:55 |
| msword | jack_sparrow, is there any way i can use the ubuntu live cd to do this? i need to combine these partitions into my windows partition, because i need a little more space for it | 01:55 |
| PurpZeY | jack_: Oh I misunderstood | 01:55 |
| PurpZeY | !iso | jack_ | 01:55 |
| ubotu | jack_: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 01:55 |
| a1fa | anybody have neomagic nm2200 video card? | 01:55 |
| jack_ | Jack_Sparrow: lil more detail on this? | 01:55 |
| crimsun | function1: you can, but it's really just making the device configurable _after_ defaulting to 'default'. | 01:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | msword: the gparted live is only about 50 meg download.. or you can use gparted in windows to do it | 01:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jack_: Trying but a bit busy.. one sec.. | 01:56 |
| Pelo | a1fa, a specific question is more likely to get you an answer | 01:56 |

| gellioth | yes PurpZeY | 01:56 |
| gellioth | any idea? | 01:57 |

| kevogod | Torias, If you install Ubuntu to the drive that does not have XP on it, the bootloader that Ubuntu installs will be able to access XP at startup. | 02:00 |
| Pelo | mikebot, make sure the proper dvd is selected when you get to the last dialog, and leave everyting to auto , make sure it is a dvd that is in the drive | 02:00 |
| MrFeeti1 | ubuntu will set up grub as a bootloader | 02:00 |
| vwhydrowv | can you walk me through how? | 02:00 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: Or use the CD. Either one. | 02:00 |
| mikebot | Pelo: And I haven't weatched the entire thing. but it works in VLC media player. | 02:00 |
| vwhydrowv | i can put the cd in | 02:01 |
| winlover_41 | I'm trying to dual-boot Vista and Ubuntu. I have about 30 GB of unallocated space. If I choose "Guided - use the largest continuous free space", will the installer mess with my Windows partitions during the install? | 02:01 |

| hello_ | I removed Firefox and deleted .mozilla, but even when I reinstlal somehow Flash isn't gone. How do I get rid of this? | 02:01 |
| vwhydrowv | probably easier | 02:01 |
| function1 | crimsun: o i think its working. theres also an "-alsaadd <name>" runtime option, to which i gave "default". then in gui i picked this device for output, though it showed up as a blank entry. (and i think its a little bit quiet). but works. should i still submit it as a bug you think? sane apps should go to "default" device you say? | 02:01 |
| MrFeeti1 | no it will leave windows alone | 02:01 |
| mikebot | Pelo: It was the right iso, and it was a blank DVD in the drive. | 02:01 |
| Pelo | mikebot, and remember that you are burning an iso , you do that from the menu, not from the gui part | 02:01 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: You can do it that way. Or I can tell you how | 02:01 |
| winlover_41 | good | 02:01 |
| mikebot | Pelo: I had changed the speed to auto before burning this one. (And previous ones worked.) | 02:01 |
| Pelo | mikebot, how big is the iso ? | 02:01 |
| vwhydrowv | already put the disk in but thanks anyways | 02:01 |
| Torias | So i would be able to install Ubuntu onto the D-Drive while running windows on the C-Drive, because I do not have it burnt to disk yet. | 02:01 |
| PurpZeY | gellioth: It might not be unmounting | 02:01 |

| vwhydrowv | also, how do i configure the pw for root? it never asked me during installation | 02:04 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: there is no root. | 02:04 |

| vwhydrowv | oh ok | 02:04 |
| function1 | crimsun: thank you, that was very enlightening. best help ive ever gotten in here. does it say somewhere in libasound docs that dmix is bypassed when using hw:? i dont recall seeing that in the alsa wiki (but its a bit underdeveloped) | 02:04 |
| vwhydrowv | that would explain that one then | 02:04 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: I kid. There is no root...Only sudo...Sudo makes commands run as root.... | 02:04 |
| stunatra | whyameye, your user password is the 'root' password. | 02:04 |
| vwhydrowv | oh ok | 02:04 |
| Pelo | Xintruder, look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , toward the top , in the module secton , do you have xgl listed ? | 02:04 |

| Malik_ | long story | 02:05 |
| vwhydrowv | purlzey, good thing to know | 02:05 |
| Pelo | Malik_, make it short | 02:05 |
| j1mc | inertial: you can use the AMD64 image | 02:05 |
| crimsun | function1: no, unfortunately that's poorly documented [but well known amongst lurkers and developers ;/ ] | 02:05 |
| mikebot | Pelo: How do I do that? | 02:05 |
| PurpZeY | !root | kevogod | 02:05 |
| Malik_ | alrit ehere goes... | 02:05 |
| ubotu | kevogod: 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 | 02:05 |

| vwhydrowv | purpzey, your a lifesaver man, i really appreciate this | 02:09 |
| skjdfgh | Pelo: Hi, sorry, I got disconnected as mikebot. | 02:09 |
| Pelo | mikebot, ok , extract the iso to the desktop, inside the extracted folder there is the video_ts folder, copy that to the dvd as you would any data using gnomebaker and you will have a working dvd | 02:09 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: This one is an easy one | 02:09 |
| pck3332 | So in a stupid attempt to get aircrack-ng working on my comp, I managed to break my wireless drivers that were working just fine. Right now I'm running them off the live-cd, but is there any way to "restore" the driver from the original installation? | 02:09 |
| skjdfgh | Pelo: And it looks like I was reconnected, but this computer is much more stable. | 02:09 |
| bastid_raZor | j1mc:: that works perfectly. thanks | 02:09 |
| Pelo | skjdfgh, ok , extract the iso to the desktop, inside the extracted folder there is the video_ts folder, copy that to the dvd as you would any data using gnomebaker and you will have a working dvd | 02:10 |
| j1mc | bastid_raZor: :) | 02:10 |
| vwhydrowv | purpzey, not to me being a newb, lol | 02:10 |

| NineTeen67Comet | Does anyone know how I can tell Totem/Mplayer/VLC/Xine to play on display X full screen via ssh? | 02:10 |
| MenZa | cheers, robdig | 02:10 |
| Pelo | skjdfgh, those are just extra data for the progs that make and use iso they are not part of the actual data | 02:10 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: I was a newb not too long ago. | 02:10 |
| bastid_raZor | NineTeen67Comet:: mplayer -fs file-to-watch | 02:10 |
| skjdfgh | Pelo: OK, it's still extracting, so I'll try it in one second. Thanks for the help. | 02:11 |
| vwhydrowv | so is there anything equivelent to quickbooks on linux? or a way to install it on linux? | 02:11 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: I don't know of it, but I don't use it, check the repos or google it | 02:11 |
| vwhydrowv | im coming from a windows background so im not sure | 02:11 |
| PurpZeY | or ask around | 02:11 |
| Pelo | skjdfgh, it can take several minuts to extract 4 gig of data, like 30 of them or more | 02:11 |
| vwhydrowv | ok | 02:11 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: Do you know how to search the repos? | 02:11 |
| NineTeen67Comet | bastid_raZor: will that play it on a specified screen though? I'm in that box via ssh and its keyboard / mouse is being used on another computer for a while .. | 02:11 |
| Pelo | vwhydrowv, I like grisbi , there is also gnucash and kmymoney if you are using kde | 02:11 |
| pck3332 | gnucash is pretty good | 02:12 |
| vwhydrowv | just installing for the first time so no, not at the moment | 02:12 |
| robdig | vwhydrowv: try gnucash | 02:12 |
| pck3332 | doesn't help you prepare returns | 02:12 |
| pck3332 | but great way to organize finances | 02:12 |
| bastid_raZor | NineTeen67Comet:: meaning you have more than one monitor attached to said box? | 02:12 |
| skjdfgh | Pelo: Yikes, OK, I'll let you know when it finishes. | 02:12 |
| kevogod | Does anyone know where I can find the unbranded Giraffe wallpaper in the Animal series of wallpapers? | 02:12 |
| vwhydrowv | can you import quickbooks into gnucash? | 02:12 |
| skjdfgh | Pelo: Oh, also, is there any reason for k9copy to have problems converting a dvd to an iso? | 02:12 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: Well, there you are gnucash is apparently good for that....but for search repos you can use synaptic (once oyu have gui) or you can use apt-cache <nameofprogram> | 02:12 |
| Pelo | vwhydrowv, grisbi is very good fro home or small association stuff, gnucash is more hardcore you can make scripts in it for just about everythng ( paychecks etc) , kmymoney is a lot like quicken | 02:12 |
| vwhydrowv | kevogod, google images did you try there? | 02:12 |
| Pelo | skjdfgh, no idea , never used it | 02:13 |
| kevogod | vwhydrowv, Yes | 02:13 |
| NineTeen67Comet | bastid_raZor: naw, it is just our media computer hooked to a TV but I am logged into that box via ssh.. so what ever command I attempt will attempt to play on my computer via ssh .. | 02:13 |
| pck3332 | Is there a way to "repair" a ubuntu installation? | 02:13 |
| Pelo | skjdfgh, dvd encryption might be an issue | 02:13 |
| pck3332 | without loosing data on existing installation | 02:13 |
| PurpZeY | pck3332: What's wrong with it? | 02:13 |
| Pelo | pck3332, it's called a clean install | 02:13 |
| kevogod | vwhydrowv, I can only find a *branded* version. | 02:13 |
| skjdfgh | Pelo: I was under the impression that if a computer could open a dvd then it was already decrypting it. | 02:13 |
| skjdfgh | Pelo: Do you use anythign for this process? | 02:13 |
| Pelo | pck3332, just make your /home on a seperate partiton and you can reinstall as much as you want | 02:13 |
| pck3332 | wireless card got fucked when I tries to get aircrack to work | 02:13 |
| PurpZeY | skjdfgh: No, you need to decrypt movies and things | 02:13 |

| vwhydrowv | you know any picture can be made a wallpaper right? | 02:14 |
| Pelo | skjdfgh, if you can read it in the comp you shoudl be find, your original question was very general | 02:14 |

| kevogod | vwhydrowv, Yes, I do realize this. | 02:14 |

| alecks | ubuntu repos need some updates :/ | 02:14 |
| Pelo | alecks, the repos only update version from release to release, between those they just do fixes and security issues | 02:15 |
| skjdfgh | Pelo: So I'm making a new data DVD and just having the video_ts folder as the data? | 02:15 |
| vwhydrowv | kevogod, cool, couldnt you photoshop a pic for the texture of a giraffe? | 02:15 |
| pck3332 | I'd really rather not loose all the customization I've done up to this point | 02:15 |
| Pelo | skjdfgh, yes | 02:15 |
| alecks | they don't update apps or anything? | 02:16 |
| kevogod | vwhydrowv, No | 02:16 |
| Pelo | pck3332, if you backup your /home folder all your data and settings will be saved, but not the progs or some hardware settings you may have done , like fancontrol and xorg customisation, you'll hve to backup those files independently | 02:16 |
| pck3332 | All I need to happen is for my wireless drivers to be exactly what they are right now on the liveCD | 02:16 |

| pck3332 | Well the live CD is detecting my card and using the right driver. I manually deleted/altered/did something to the driver on my HD install and wireless isn't working when I boot up from the HD | 02:18 |

| vwhydrowv | http://www.bbspot.com/News/2001/06/gates.html | 02:21 |
| PurpZeY | RazzoRz: Seems that no one is familiar with that issue did you check the forums on it? | 02:22 |
| pck3332 | I would copy over the driver from the CD, but I don't how to install/update drivers on ubuntu | 02:22 |
| RazzoRz | PurpZeY:not yet no | 02:22 |
| vwhydrowv | bill gates talks about how linux is the best operating system | 02:22 |
| kevogod | vwhydrowv, You realize that BBspot is satire, right? | 02:22 |
| vwhydrowv | no i didnt | 02:23 |
| bulmer | pck3332, you want to mount the iso from your cd? | 02:23 |
| MrFeeti1 | *weeps* why HP, why. | 02:23 |
| kevogod | vwhydrowv, Now, you do. :P | 02:23 |
| vwhydrowv | hahaha, yeah | 02:23 |
| pck3332 | I can do that, what I need to do is figure out where to install the driver too | 02:23 |
| PurpZeY | rob3r: I believe all of the desktops remain the same | 02:23 |
| vwhydrowv | just looked at the news article and never paid much attention to the site | 02:23 |
| pck3332 | and where to find the driver on the live cd | 02:23 |
| vwhydrowv | funny article anyways | 02:24 |
| kevogod | That's the point. :P | 02:24 |
| bulmer | pck3332, for wifi its somewhere in /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/ | 02:24 |
| rob3r | PurpZeY: hmm, thanks for the answer even though it isn't the one I am looking for | 02:24 |
| gellioth | PurpZey ... nothing. | 02:24 |
| pck3332 | Thanks Bulmer, let me take a look, I'll get back to you | 02:24 |
| gellioth | PurpZeY nothing | 02:24 |
| PurpZeY | rob3r: You can ask in #compiz-fusion I don't think the answer is going to change though | 02:24 |
| rob3r | k | 02:24 |
| vwhydrowv | purpzey, lalalalala, still installing | 02:25 |
| PurpZeY | gellioth: So, you plug it in, and nothing shows up when you run mount? | 02:25 |
| vwhydrowv | lol, wow | 02:25 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: It's the whole gnome gui system.....The difference b/w server and desktop is that package | 02:25 |
| Odd-rationale | What is the command to start the volume applet in the gnome panel? | 02:26 |
| Odd-rationale | I searched all over and can't figure it out. | 02:26 |
| gellioth | sorry its hard to me, I dont have good english PurpZeY | 02:26 |
| PurpZeY | Odd-rationale: Do you just need to add it back to the panel? | 02:27 |
| PurpZeY | gellioth: What is your native language? | 02:27 |
| robdig | Odd-rationale: gnome-volume-manager | 02:27 |
| lazkapital | well my realy problem with ATI accelerated driver | 02:27 |
| vwhydrowv | i thought the difference was lamp is preinstalled on server vs. desktop | 02:27 |
| Odd-rationale | PurpZeY: No, I want to know that command to start it. | 02:27 |
| Odd-rationale | robdig: That's for removable drives... | 02:27 |

| grout | whats the best VM app for linux? | 02:28 |
| Odd-rationale | grout: I like VirtualBox | 02:28 |
| PurpZeY | !best | grout | 02:28 |
| ubotu | grout: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 02:28 |
| vwhydrowv | purpzey, i thought the big difference was desktop doesnt have lamp installed | 02:28 |
| gellioth | ok Ill try ... thanks | 02:28 |
| tingo | me | 02:28 |
| lazkapital | well problem is i selected my monitor in screen and graphical card option | 02:28 |

| Odd-rationale | PurpZeY: Any ideas? | 02:28 |
| tingo | i love vbox | 02:29 |
| gellioth | thanks PurpZeY | 02:29 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: I don't know anything about lamp, but as far as I understand it the only difference is the desktop package | 02:29 |
| vwhydrowv | lamp = linux, apache, mysql, and php | 02:29 |
| PurpZeY | Odd-rationale: gnome-volume-manager | 02:29 |
| Odd-rationale | PurpZeY: That is for removable drives. I want the applet for sound (volume). | 02:29 |
| Kuropon | is it hard to set up VMware? and what not | 02:29 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: What I know is what I said....hehe | 02:30 |
| vwhydrowv | In around 15 minutes, the time it takes to install Ubuntu Server Edition, you can have a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) server up and ready to go. This feature, exclusive to Ubuntu Server Edition, is available at the time of installation. | 02:30 |

| vwhydrowv | so i just assumed it did not come with desktop edition | 02:30 |

| robdig | mikebot: looks like a kernel bug...when i googled the error, looks like it is happening on several distros, fedora, mandriva, etc. when burning iso to dvd. Here is ubuntu bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/157803 | 02:50 |
| earthsound | i am having a problem with a couple of settings not sticking after a reboot: display resolution and network DNS servers. any ideas? | 02:50 |
| YouKnowMe | I'm having trouble with slimserver, I'm running ubuntu, http://pastebin.com/d5b2b1eb . I assume its bad permissions but I can't even find the file its looking for. Help? | 02:50 |
| PurpZeY | tssom: I honestly don't know what you are talking about. I assume it's awn or kiba-dock, but I don't know | 02:50 |
| Odd-rationale | tssom: I believe that has been moved to the medibuntu repos. | 02:50 |
| Odd-rationale | !medibuntu | 02:50 |
| ubotu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:50 |
| earthsound | the DNS servers are going back to my ISPs default DNS servers and the display resolution is defaulting to 1600x1200 (instead of 1280x1024) | 02:50 |
| tssom | thanks | 02:50 |
| TeraJL | i don't have any sound.. i have tried everything and nothing works :/ | 02:51 |
| erik_bracket | When you click "Download package files only," where does it download them to? | 02:51 |
| erik_bracket | in synaptic | 02:51 |
| PurpZeY | TeraJL: You looked @ alsa? | 02:51 |
| Sylpher | I dug around a bit on the ubuntu forums and I found one person with the same problem, but he mentioned running pirated software and I think that made nobody want to help him. | 02:51 |
| Pici | erik_bracket: probably /var/cache/apt/ | 02:51 |
| TeraJL | my ubunto can find "realtek alc880" but don't work any way | 02:51 |
| erik_bracket | ok, thanks | 02:51 |
| PurpZeY | !alsa | TeraJL | 02:52 |
| ubotu | TeraJL: 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).

| Creed | Odd-rationale, thats for Ubuntu, I'm looking for Kubuntu's | 02:55 |
| PurpZeY | Sylpher: I got a part of them, but where is the install hanging? | 02:56 |
| jtjt | PurpZey, ty hope it has an assist mode | 02:56 |
| Pici | Creed: they are the same. | 02:56 |
| Odd-rationale | Creed: the first one listed applies to both. | 02:56 |
| nettow0822 | i can't get my cell phone to connect via usb...any ideas? | 02:57 |
| Sylpher | PurpZeY, right at the start when I select Start Or Install from the boot splash menu. A box pops up saying loading the kernel, that finishes and something at the bottom shows up for a second (looks like a memory address in HEX, but I can't see it) and then my entire system shuts down. | 02:57 |
| Sylpher | Same thing happens if I select the check cd for defects option | 02:58 |
| vwhydrowv | im not finding apache in add/remove programs, any suggestions? | 02:58 |
| Sylpher | So I tried reburning the CD at a slower speed, but to no avail. | 02:58 |
| zachinglis | Hey guys. It's been a while since I've used my server and I very stupidly forgot my user with the login pie, i have got my root password though and was wondering how I could change the password for pie through root so I can log out of root and back into pie? | 02:58 |
| PurpZeY | Sylpher: You can try the alternate install CD...That'd be my only suggestion, but I am no guru | 02:58 |
| Sylpher | Hm, alternate install you say? Okay, I'll dig around on the site. | 02:58 |
| PurpZeY | Sylpher: Text based install. | 02:59 |
| robdig | zachinglis: passwd pie | 02:59 |
| zachinglis | cheers robdig | 02:59 |
| Alkivar | before i go and do something stupid... are there any models of razer mouse that arent functional under ubuntu? i googled and didnt see anything but figured i'd better double check | 03:00 |
| lewwy | razr mouse is a usb mouse so it should be compatible | 03:01 |
| PurpZeY | !hardware | Alkivar | 03:01 |
| ubotu | Alkivar: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 03:01 |
| vwhydrowv | ok, different cd, looks like i got to start over | 03:01 |
| lewwy | yeh i've had some pretty major dramas with the gui based install on my old 2.6. | 03:01 |
| Alkivar | Purpzey: already been there... as i said... double checking i didnt miss something :) | 03:01 |
| Sylpher | PurpZeY, ah, took me a second to find that option on the download page. Thanks, I'll give it a shot. | 03:01 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: Can't you just install the new packages? | 03:01 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: From the repos | 03:02 |
| vwhydrowv | i cant even find them in synaptics | 03:02 |
| vwhydrowv | synaptics=add/remove programs correct? | 03:02 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: No | 03:02 |
| earthsound | Sylpher: did you try running without a graphical interface...text mode? | 03:02 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: System --> Admin --> Synaptic | 03:02 |
| Sylpher | earthsound is that an additional option you can enter? | 03:03 |
| Sylpher | (The F6 options or whatever it is) | 03:03 |
| vwhydrowv | ok found it | 03:03 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: =) | 03:04 |
| vwhydrowv | looks like you can install it from cd though, dont know if that would be better | 03:04 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: Doesn't make a difference, but at some point, you'll want to take "cd" as a resource out from synaptic | 03:04 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: CD probably faster | 03:04 |
| vwhydrowv | can you add a restart to the shutdown part? | 03:05 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: ? | 03:05 |
| earthsound | Sylpher: iirc, it is only available in the alternate cd :| however, i believe the live cd still has a "safe graphics mode", does it not? | 03:05 |
| vwhydrowv | all i see is log out, lock screen, switch user, and hibernate | 03:05 |
| Condoulo | ok, I have a Logitech quickcam, and my Camera is working, but not the built in microphone. Any reason as to why? | 03:05 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: That's a weird bug, somehow it goes away. | 03:05 |
| vwhydrowv | ok | 03:05 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: If you reload gnome it will go away. | 03:06 |
| Sylpher | earthsound: Ah, yes, that option. Yes, I tried that. Same problem. Does ubuntu have any problems with dual cores? I have run into similar strange problems with lock-ups due to the dual core. | 03:06 |
| vwhydrowv | reloading now | 03:06 |
| * robdig has dual cores, no problem | 03:06 | |
| vwhydrowv | still there | 03:06 |
| vwhydrowv | maybe i need to restart | 03:06 |
| Sylpher | robdig, thanks, good to know. | 03:07 |
| vwhydrowv | what command do i use to restart the computer from command prompt? | 03:07 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: I wouldn't stress that, I guess is my point, it goes away....That's the way it's supposed to be | 03:07 |
| robdig | Sylpher: np...good luck | 03:07 |
| Sylpher | At least the server I am downloading the alternate cd from seems to be speeding along. | 03:07 |
| rajasun | vwhydrowv: sudo shutdown -r now | 03:07 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: shutdown -now I believe...... | 03:08 |
| vwhydrowv | thanks | 03:08 |
| PurpZeY | or not | 03:08 |
| rajasun | vwhydrowv: np | 03:08 |
| Cromag | -r for reboot :) | 03:08 |
| Cromag | not just reboot ? | 03:08 |
| Cromag | wont work ? | 03:08 |
| vwhydrowv | rajasun had it right :) | 03:08 |
| PurpZeY | Cromag: It asks for time without now | 03:08 |
| rajasun | man shutdown | 03:08 |
| Cromag | ok | 03:08 |
| rajasun | ;) | 03:09 |
| vwhydrowv | ah man, looks like install a lamp server i will have to reload the gui again, errrrrrrrr | 03:09 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: huh? | 03:10 |
| vwhydrowv | hahahaha, another 2 hrs out of my life | 03:10 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: Why install again? | 03:10 |
| vwhydrowv | it looks like when you install a lamp server it starts from the beginning again | 03:10 |
| vwhydrowv | because it preconfigures it as a server | 03:10 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: Didn't you install server? | 03:11 |
| robdig | vwhydrowv: if you already have ubuntu installed, this link tells you how to get lamp installed up and running... http://joeabiraad.com/linuxunix/installing-lamp-on-ubuntu-710-linuxapachemysqlphp/100 | 03:11 |
| vwhydrowv | i just told it to install to hard disk, i didnt choose install a lamp server in the beginning | 03:11 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: See above. | 03:11 |
| vwhydrowv | nice | 03:11 |
| mikebot | Is there any way to extract the video_ts from a dvd iso and burn that to a blank dvd while keeping the menus and everything? In toehr words, so it is just like the original dvd? | 03:12 |
| hou5ton | Hey ... a while back I tested Linux Mint (which is Ubuntu), and all the multimedia worked right out of the box. Is it much problem getting pure Ubuntu doing that as well? | 03:12 |
| PurpZeY | mikebot: To pirate it? | 03:12 |
| Pici | mikebot: use dvd::rip iirc. | 03:12 |
| kinglet | Odd-rationale, hiii | 03:12 |
| mikebot | PurpZeY: To back up my dvds | 03:13 |
| kinglet | Odd-rationale, what happened to my ubuntu? :( | 03:13 |
| mikebot | Pici: How do I use that? | 03:13 |
| PurpZeY | mikebot: Fair enough. | 03:13 |
| lewix | hi | 03:13 |
| kinglet | Odd-rationale, I installed xine packages and it removed gstreamer | 03:13 |
| Pici | mikebot: I have no idea, I've never had to rip a dvd for any purpose | 03:13 |
| mikebot | PurpZeY: Hehe, would you help me in one case but not the other? | 03:13 |
| lewix | how can I connect on the wireless from the command line | 03:13 |
| Sylpher | This is my second attempt at trying Linux. My first try I have a 28.8k connection and I downloaded some distro over the course of a week (with no resume ability at the time, mind) and was unable to install due to having an Ultra 66 HDD and at the time that was unsupported. That was over 10 years ago, I think I can throw aside my grudge now. | 03:13 |
| mikebot | Pici: OK, thanks. | 03:13 |
| kinglet | Odd-rationale, and when I set it to back config | 03:13 |
| PurpZeY | mikebot: Frankly, I wouldn't really help at all to copy any protected DVDs. | 03:14 |
| kinglet | Odd-rationale, totem removed completly | 03:14 |
| rajasun | kinglet: totem xine conflicts with totem-gstreamer | 03:14 |
| lewix | also, how can I read *winrar format, finc a forgotten password | 03:14 |
| kinglet | rajasun, yes i know | 03:14 |
| Odd-rationale | kinglet: You should have totem-xine installed, right? | 03:14 |
| mikebot | PurpZeY: EVen if I own them? | 03:14 |
| wolfer1ne | Pici do you sleep ? | 03:14 |
| kinglet | Odd-rationale, I uninstalled it | 03:14 |
| Pici | wolfer1ne: Yeah ;) | 03:14 |
| wolfer1ne | u 'ubuntu' too much :) | 03:14 |
| wolfer1ne | lol | 03:14 |
| Odd-rationale | kinglet: You uninstalled totem-xine?! | 03:15 |
| jack_ | any help with copyin dvd's? | 03:15 |
| vwhydrowv | ok time to take the cd part out | 03:15 |
| kinglet | Odd-rationale, Yes bcuz it is not work for mp3 files and ... | 03:15 |
| vwhydrowv | how do i do it purpzey? | 03:15 |
| PurpZeY | mikebot: This is going to go off-topic, so I'm just going to say my piece. You can own it, and if you want to back it up, that's fine, but, you are not really intended to copy them...It's piracy...Do I personally think that it's messed up that it's piracy, yes. But it is still piracy | 03:15 |
| Doodluv | Does any one know of a way to get " | 03:15 |
| kinglet | Odd-rationale, and I install gstreamer again | 03:15 |
| kinglet | Odd-rationale, and now it have problem | 03:15 |
| Doodluv | <--- nice complete sentence there | 03:15 |
| rajasun | kinglet: u probably are missing the codecs | 03:15 |
| PurpZeY | vwhydrowv: Someone planted a link for you, scroll up | 03:16 |
| kinglet | Odd-rationale, said me first install broken packages! | 03:16 |
| vwhydrowv | mikebot, you are trying to backup the dvd :) right? :) | 03:16 |
| kinglet | rajasun, no totem is unistalled compelty | 03:16 |
| Doodluv | Does any one know of a way to get "right-click" to work using an apple mouse....like the old school one-click apple mouse? | 03:16 |
| vwhydrowv | for taking the cd searching out? | 03:16 |
| mikebot | vwhydrowv: HEhe yes, I am trying to back up a dvd. | 03:16 |
| mikebot | PurpZeY: Fair enough. | 03:16 |
| kinglet | rajasun, and when I'm goin to install it , show me an error | 03:16 |
| mikebot | vwhydrowv: So if you know how I can do it then that would be wonderful. | 03:16 |
| rajasun | kinglet: anyway more to multimedia players on Linux than totem...apt-cache search media players | 03:17 |
| vwhydrowv | mike, so now ask your question correctly, then you will probably get help | 03:17 |
| lewix | have you guys heard about domplayer? | 03:17 |
| rajasun | w32codecs libdvdcss2 too | 03:17 |
| vwhydrowv | i know in windows, but very new to linux, better to ask someone else | 03:17 |

| Pici | !root | Madhag | 03:23 |
| ubotu | Madhag: 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 | 03:23 |

| jason | eye candy? | 03:29 |
| rajasun | Krumar: yeah that could be the way. But do consider p7zip-full. Offers way higher compression ratio than the competition. Check the package out. | 03:29 |
| jason | i have seen that a lot, but what is it | 03:29 |
| Odd-rationale | kinglet: What happenned? | 03:29 |
| jtjt | madhag, !x is not a command in ubuntu afaik | 03:29 |
| vwhydrowv | wow, this is too easy | 03:29 |
| Krumar | rajasun, i wasn't hoping to compress so much as just break files up to make better use of a DVD | 03:29 |

| mheath | Is anyone here aware of a good solution to the Black Screen on Resume form Hibernate bug some Nivida cards have? | 03:37 |
| mheath | I mentioned that before and was told it was a common bug | 03:37 |
| nickrud | !brokenflash | max | 03:37 |
| ubotu | max: 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. | 03:37 |
| mheath | But I'm having trouble finding any concise info on it. I've found several fixes for broken on Resume from Suspend, but my card works fine with Suspend. | 03:37 |

| Shadow147 | hey nickrud maybe you can help me I have a package that has a file I need but when I try to install it another file stops it how do I fix this? | 03:40 |
| nickrud | Shadix, you can cut off the splash screen by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst and removing splash from the kernel line, I need that so I don't have a blank terminal on boot | 03:40 |

| jtjt | How do I change the boot options in grub? I have the menu.list open. Can I simply copy windows to the top of the list?? | 03:44 |
| IdleOne | makuseru: go to packages.ubuntu.com and download the .deb and install it using dpkg -i packagename.deb I wouldnt enable an older repo as it might bring in a whole bunch of stuff | 03:44 |
| makuseru | IdleOne: the pakage isnt in the new repos | 03:45 |

| pck | which raid configuration are you looking at | 03:51 |
| Shadow147 | nickrud well it's not a ture ubuntu package I converted it from an rpm | 03:51 |

| robdig | vwhydrowv: might be better to ask that in #mysql | 03:58 |
| vwhydrowv | ok | 03:58 |
| nickrud | Shadow147, you still might get an error, about reinstall required, just let me know if it does | 03:58 |

| Shadow147 | nickrud ok | 03:59 |
| xTheGoat121x | Is there a significant advantage for one using Fiesty to upgrade to gutsy? | 03:59 |
| Madha1 | ok | 03:59 |
| IdleOne | xTheGoat121x: yes? no! | 03:59 |
| nickrud | xTheGoat121x, I get much better NetworkManager function | 03:59 |
| Shadow147 | nickrud dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove compat-libstdc++ which isn't installed. | 03:59 |
| Madha1 | why cant ubuntu see my fontpath? | 04:00 |
| xTheGoat121x | IdleOne, obviously it's got mixed results? | 04:00 |
| pck | xTheGoat121x: Yes | 04:00 |
| xTheGoat121x | nickrud, good to know.... | 04:00 |
| PurpZeY | xTheGoat121x: I haven't done it | 04:00 |
| PurpZeY | xTheGoat121x: For the reason you see now...No one seems to know why it's so much better | 04:00 |
| nickrud | Shadow147, ah, then it's not installed and you should be fine. do dpkg -l grep compat-libstdc++ , if you get no output, just run sudo apt-get -f install , if there are no errors you're ok | 04:01 |
| IdleOne | xTheGoat121x: I upgraded immediately and did not really see a difference but I guess if you want to go ahead | 04:01 |
| xTheGoat121x | Were there any significant changes in the ACPI interface? B/C Fiesty and my laptop ACPI don't fully cooperate. | 04:01 |
| ce_skol | lk | 04:01 |
| nickrud | xTheGoat121x, not having to fiddle with networking is a real improvement. And suspend/hibernate works also now that you mention it | 04:01 |
| kjp2 | Anyone ideas on avahi failing to start? the error is: Timeout reached while wating for return value | 04:02 |

| Shadow147 | nickrud ok | 04:02 |
| pck | xTheGoat121x: Gutsy has a better, more generally compatible network manager. Has fewer problems with restricted drivers. Compiz-fusion works much better and looks nicer than most macs, and it natively supports a S&!t load of hardware | 04:02 |
| YouKnowMe | robdig: http://pastebin.com/d68723fce | 04:02 |

| IdleOne | nickrud: redhat? | 04:03 |
| nickrud | Shadow147, I don't know anything about aim, sorry but there are probably people here who do | 04:04 |
| scguy318 | Shadow147: if you mean the official, it's quite a bit out of date and crap, you'd probably want to use Pidgin or Kopete, etc. | 04:04 |

| Shadix | scguy318: hey you were helping my on this issue before. The only solution I found was to delete the word "splash" from the kernel line. hwever with that I see all the boot scripts an etc. Not bad butnot right. | 04:04 |
| PurpZeY | Leechzilla: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package | 04:04 |
| nickrud | IdleOne, tell Shadow147 | 04:04 |
| pck | xTheGoat121x: honestly, I always dual booted XP until gutsy, now I finally got rid of windows and I don't miss it for a second. Every prior release of linux/ubuntu i've used always pissed me off or didn't work at a critical point so i felt i needed to have that safety net, i don't feel its needed any more. btw gutsy machine dell laptop | 04:05 |
| Leechzilla | PurpZeY: I don't need it? | 04:05 |

| PurpZeY | Leechzilla: Perhaps nickrud can verify that, but as I understand it ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage sometimes when taking out other packages it gets removed and it is incidental | 04:05 |
| scguy318 | Shadix: well, that's what splash gives you :P | 04:05 |

| scguy318 | Shadix: you wanted to change it? | 04:06 |
| nickrud | Leechzilla, yes that's true. ubuntu-desktop is only required when upgrading from one release to another | 04:06 |
| Shadix | scguy318: lol I got it to just go blank now with not lines and whatnot, but I take it you can have a custom image right? | 04:06 |
| Madha1 | my X problem seems to come down to the fact that no fontpath can be seen | 04:06 |
| pck_ | xTheGoat121x: Oh, I'm not hating on windows, just trying to convey the increase in system stability with 7.10 | 04:06 |
| nickrud | Leechzilla, think of ubuntu-desktop package as just a list of packages, when you remove one of the list the list gets removed as well. | 04:06 |

| nickrud | Leechzilla, hm, you could remove /usr/bin/smartdimmer , that way it's not available for use. Or, edit /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh and comment out the lines that have smartdimmer in them (the only lines under acpi I found). The best way would be to create an equivs package for smartdimmer, but I'm not real familiar with how those are made | 04:14 |

| LeChacal | nickrud: i was trying to read it with gedit and i got the error "The file /proc/modules changed on disk.", the reason i am trying to open it is because i am looking for a line that i think should be there but something else says is not there | 04:37 |
| nickrud | Leechzilla, you need to read the docs, that's not what it's for. wastrel he wants to remove smartdimmer without losing acpi-support , so he can experiment with a later version | 04:37 |

| rajasun | ballin: yeah. There's an equiv for KDE folks...forgot the name though | 04:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !install > angel | 04:37 |
| bruenig | LeChacal, I would just cat it and read it in terminal | 04:37 |
| nickrud | LeChacal, it does change, and gedit is only letting you know it did. You won't be saving the file, so it's not an error | 04:37 |
| bruenig | or you can always just do "lsmod" since lsmod just parses and reformats /proc/modules | 04:38 |
| elkbuntu | Shadix, aye, but that's your canuk version of homie talk | 04:38 |

| Shadix | no these are all words found in the Canadian English dictionary yah Hoser! | 04:39 |
| nickrud | Leechzilla, it's not about compiling the package. It is about fooling the package management into thinking smartdimmer is installed so it won't try to remove acpi-support. Then you would do your compilation and testing separately | 04:39 |
| ballin | raja: i'm new to this scene. kde i'm assuming is ubuntu? | 04:39 |

| nickrud | LeChacal, /proc/modules is a list of kernel modules that are currently installed into the kernel, should have added that earlier | 04:46 |
| Kuropon | Im running Virtualbox and I tryed installing winXP on it.. and it said that Virtualbox didnt have kernel... or something like that and hence didnt continue the installation. anyone can help me through this? | 04:46 |

| rajasun | ballin: Once installed, KDE will become an option when u login i.e. via the login manager GDM by default unless u have chosen to install kdm and supplant gdm as the deafult login manager instead | 04:46 |
| LeChacal | nickrud: isn't that the opposite of "sudo rmmod usbhid" which in the tutorial it tells me to do so that buttons on the mouse act like buttons on a keyboard (i think that is what it does) | 04:46 |

| Jack_Sparrow | vbabiy-laptop: Did you read the link on flash is briken.. | 04:47 |
| nickrud | LeChacal, yes, it is the opposite. And that would be a possible result, I guess. sudo modprobe -r usbhid would be the preferred way rather than rmmod | 04:47 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !flashissues | 04:48 |
| 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. | 04:48 |
| ballin | raja: so just restart and i should find a way to open it? | 04:48 |
| rajasun | ballin: no need to restart/reboot | 04:48 |
| vbabiy-laptop | Thanks Jack_Sparrow I didn't see that | 04:48 |
| Kuropon | Im running Virtualbox and I tryed installing winXP on it.. and it said that Virtualbox didnt have kernel... or something like that and hence didnt continue the installation. anyone can help me through this? | 04:48 |
| rajasun | ballin: just type sudo gparted | 04:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 04:48 |

| gunnnnn | i am trying to install ubuntu on my external USB hard drive. my computer is a macbook pro and I don't want to install the boot loader on my internal hard drive | 04:48 |
| rodolfo | Jack_Sparrow: hi! would you consider removing flash plugin and install gnash instead? | 04:48 |
| IcemanV9 | !repeat | Kuropon | 04:49 |
| ubotu | Kuropon: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 04:49 |

| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| nickrud | Kuropon, you should probably ask that on #virtualbox | 04:49 |

| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 04:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rodolfo: The only problem will be when the real fix comes down | 04:49 |
| gunnnnn | in the installation process it prompts me to "install boot loader" on (hd0) ... i am not sure but that seems to be the internal hard disk | 04:50 |
| ballin | so what does fm stand for? i don't know it's hard to say! | 04:50 |
| gunnnnn | am i wrong on that | 04:50 |
| nickrud | gunnnnn, yes, that's the first drive in your machine | 04:50 |
| rodolfo | Jack_Sparrow: would you consider using gnash....? | 04:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rodolfo: The workaround I used is to first go to synaptic, select the flashplugin-nonfree package and then mark it for *complete* removal. Then install the hardy flashplugin, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb | 04:50 |
| === cyber is now known as CowoButuhCeweq | ||
| gunnnnn | so which command can i use to get the name of the external hard drive | 04:50 |
| LeChacal | nickrud: so then i should change the line in my script file that the tutorial had me make to "sudo modprobe -r usbhid" and then just ignore the error about it not be able to unload it because it isn't load in the first place? | 04:50 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, launchpadlibrarian.net? | 04:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: that was the one I used... | 04:51 |
| nickrud | LeChacal, sounds right without reading the script. | 04:51 |
| rodolfo | Jack_Sparrow: sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree? | 04:51 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, no, I never heard of it | 04:51 |
| rajasun | ballin: fm? ffmpeg u mean | 04:51 |
| LeChacal | nickrud: ok ill do that and it sounds fine thank you | 04:51 |
| ballin | raja: i was singing, my bad ;D | 04:51 |
| IcemanV9 | rodolfo: that'll work | 04:51 |

The server previously used dhcp on another network. My router can ping the machine just fine, but the machine is not able to ping back, nor resolve any hostnames. Might I have missed changing something? | 05:12 |
| moidekar | sloanesky: eg root = (hd0,1) | 05:12 |
| quinton_ | My 5.1 speakers only play from1 speaker... help please? | 05:12 |

| moidekar | sloanesky: OK... puzzling that your ubu entries don't have = :-) | 05:13 |

| angel | hey guys, what do you call a setup where i have 10 pcs and 20 users that can log into any one of the 10 pcs to get their desktop and files? | 05:15 |
| sloanesky | maybe that page is out of date? the examples in the menu.lst dont have = signs | 05:15 |
| fiXXXerMet | th0r: The 'router' is actually a smoothwall firewall. I had the server on the green (lan) zone, using dhcp, but just moved it over to the orange (dmz) zone, and set the ip static. | 05:15 |
| WorkingOnWis1 | !clone | 05:15 |
| ubotu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 05:15 |

| quinton_ | icemanv9, Yes, of course | 05:16 |
| moidekar | sloanesky: I agree - I just looked at my own menu.lst and the examples don't have "=" | 05:16 |
| quinton_ | icemanv9, ushually with this sound card to even get it to play I need to install the drivers, in this case on linux, it works but it only plays on the main speaker and subwoofer. | 05:16 |
| moidekar | sloanesky: what's the savedefault entry for? The example block in my menu.lst for Win2K doesn't have that keyword | 05:17 |
| quinton_ | icemanv9, ecuse me, its playing from 2 speakers and the sub woofer. | 05:17 |
| th0r | fiXXXerMet first thing I would be tempted to do, considering that description, is to reset the server to dhcp and see what resolv.conf info it picks up from the router. You might also want to double check the iptables rules; it sounds like a firewall issue considering the move from the green zone to the orange. | 05:17 |

| sylpher | PurpZeY, hehe, well actually... One quick question. I selected my res to be 1440x900 in the install, but it is set at 1400x1050 which is a kind of strange aspect ratio for my monitor, and now it isn't even an option. | 05:33 |

| niceubuntu | hello all.. how do i share internet between two computers? | 05:43 |
| PurpZeY | jcg42: I've never tried it, but I know some of the software doesn't cross over, so I wouldn't. . .but that is literally my own personal opinion | 05:43 |
| PurpZeY | niceubuntu: Using a router? | 05:43 |
| rohan | jcg42: not really | 05:43 |
| rohan | jcg42: it's sometimes problematic to install stuff like flash, codecs etc | 05:43 |
| rohan | jcg42: though with nspluginswrapper and w64codecs it's not really a problem now | 05:44 |
| niceubuntu | PurpZeY: using a router to a computer w/2 ethernet connection to a laptop [ethernet] | 05:44 |
| rohan | jcg42: if you're inclined, go for 64bit. if it doesn't work well for you, switch back to 32 | 05:44 |
| PurpZeY | niceubuntu: Right, so you plug the two cables in and bang good to go | 05:44 |
| niceubuntu | router to pc and pc to laptop | 05:44 |
| PurpZeY | niceubuntu: I see. So you want to proxy them. . . | 05:45 |

| PurpZeY | niceubuntu: did you setup the proxy in nmapplet ? | 05:45 |
| niceubuntu | what do you mean? | 05:46 |
| PurpZeY | niceubuntu: The panel network applet, if you want to do that you need to set the proxy | 05:46 |

| Eyemean | hi, how can i temporarily disable xgl so i can have Direct rendering? | 05:54 |
| niceubuntu | PurpZeY: | 05:54 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, are you running Ubuntu 7.10? | 05:55 |
| Eyemean | yes coastermaster | 05:56 |
| CoasterMaster | Run this in a terminal (without quotes) and then restart to disable XGL 'touch .config/xserver-xgl/disable' | 05:56 |
| CoasterMaster | When you want to re-enable, the command is 'rm .config/xserver-xgl/disable' | 05:57 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster, and would it be the same but with enable to enable it again? | 05:57 |
| jimmygoon | portablejim, are you using the official wine repos? you should they are the most up to date period | 05:58 |
| tom2002 | i am the only user on my computer ..... only one user account ....... login screen at startup is annoying .... how do i get it to log in automatically ???? | 05:58 |

| Eyemean | thanx coastermaster, do i have to restart pc or just control alt del? | 05:59 |
| jimmygoon | Eyemean, backspace ;0 | 05:59 |
| BloodyScum | Does anyone here play Star Wars Galaxies? I can get wine to load SWG into the character selection screen, but it crashes before it renders the character appearance.. anyone have any ideas? | 05:59 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, I believe you just have to restart X (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) | 05:59 |
| Eyemean | ok cheers coastermaster | 05:59 |
| tom2002 | thank you | 05:59 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, but make sure you have everything closed, becasue running that will immediately kill all programs | 05:59 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster, will it be a problem if i leave firefox open? as i have a few pages that i want it to restore to? | 06:00 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, Firefox includes a session restore so if Firefox gets killed (like by CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE), it will ask if you want to restore your session (windows and tabs) when you start it again. | 06:00 |
| jimmygoon | CoasterMaster, I wish it would do that even when I close intentionally | 06:01 |
| jimmygoon | CoasterMaster, I even force kill it just so I can get them back :D | 06:01 |
| BloodyScum | did anyone say anything about SWG after i asked? i closed my irc app by accident | 06:02 |
| jimmygoon | BloodyScum, sorry, no | 06:02 |
| CoasterMaster | jimmygoon, in Firefox, you can go to Edit -> Preferences and on the Main tab, the very first option is "When Firefox starts: " Change that to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" | 06:02 |
| jimmygoon | CoasterMaster, :O | 06:02 |
| jimmygoon | CoasterMaster, that is awesome :) | 06:02 |
| remote_matrix | :q | 06:02 |
| CoasterMaster | jimmygoon, glad I could help :) | 06:03 |
| niceubuntu | PurpZeY: sorry i got dissed. which ip subnet & gateway do i use? | 06:03 |
| bulmer | what the heck is dissed ? is that english? | 06:04 |
| niceubuntu | disconnected :? lol! | 06:04 |
| niceubuntu | i was just wondering how to connect my laptop to my computer to share internet | 06:04 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster also thanx for that firefox restore option | 06:05 |
| bulmer | get a good cable, preferably a cat5 | 06:05 |
| bulmer | then also get a hub or a switch | 06:05 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, no problem, enjoy! | 06:06 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster, i get the following: touch: cannot touch `.config/xserver-xgl/disable': No such file or directory | 06:06 |
| DWonderly | question. why does it give me diffrent vendors between glxinfo and fglrxinfo? fglrxinfo tells me it's ATI but glxinfo tells me mesa... Running something with OpenGL resaults in a crash and restart of my Xsession. | 06:06 |
| CentHOGG | are you guys cat5 or cat5e (gigabyte)? | 06:06 |
| niceubuntu | got dissed again | 06:06 |
| niceubuntu | lol :) | 06:06 |
| foug | Is there a way to make panels smaller than 23 pixels? Does gconf-editor have an option of doing so? | 06:06 |
| bulmer | cat5 is adequate | 06:07 |
| CentHOGG | kewl | 06:07 |
| niceubuntu | what do you mean? | 06:07 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, hmmm, try 'touch ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable' (again without quotes) | 06:07 |
| CentHOGG | bulmer: how fast is your network? | 06:07 |
| niceubuntu | do i need to enable static ip on network setting eth0? | 06:07 |
| bulmer | CentHOGG, 10Meg bits per sec | 06:08 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster: touch: cannot touch `/home/eyemean/.config/xserver-xgl/disable': No such file or directory | 06:08 |
| vwhydrowv | how can a create a virtual link to a hd with apache? | 06:08 |
| vwhydrowv | so i can get to my files from the internet | 06:08 |
| bulmer | CentHOGG, plenty fast for me | 06:08 |
| Cpudan80 | vwhydrowv: Sure | 06:08 |
| vwhydrowv | ? how | 06:09 |
| CoasterMaster | again? ok, open your home folder (Places -> Home Folder) and type /home/eyeman/.config/xserver-xgl into the address bar | 06:09 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster, im new to linux, is there a difference between xgl and fglx? i think thats right | 06:09 |
| Cpudan80 | vwhydrowv: Put the link in your public_html folder | 06:09 |
| vwhydrowv | how though | 06:09 |
| bulmer | vwhydrowv, come again? what is virtual link to a hd? | 06:09 |
| vwhydrowv | im new to linux, how do i create a link | 06:09 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, XGL is a display server, FGLRX is a device driver for Radeon video cards | 06:09 |
| CentHOGG | bulmer: oh you mean 10base T? | 06:09 |
| vwhydrowv | ok, i got a usb drive, mounted and working on the linux os | 06:09 |
| bulmer | vwhydrowv, are you inventing these words? | 06:09 |
| vwhydrowv | bulmer no | 06:10 |
| Cpudan80 | vwhydrowv: You want a symbolic link, so get into your public_html directory and do ln -s TARGET NAME | 06:10 |
| bulmer | CentHOGG, an equivalent yes | 06:10 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, once you get to that directory, right click in the window and chose Create File -> Empty File and then name it 'disable' (without quotes of course) | 06:10 |
| vwhydrowv | virtual link = creates a link to a drive but can be seen from the internet | 06:10 |
| vwhydrowv | thanks | 06:10 |
| Cpudan80 | vwhydrowv: chmod the link 755 | 06:10 |
| vwhydrowv | is that read only on the chmod right? | 06:10 |
| bulmer | vwhydrowv, you just coined a new meaning.. | 06:11 |
| === TylerJGillies is now known as topicks | ||
| ste-foy | Can we talking aboth linux ?? | 06:11 |
| vwhydrowv | bulmer, ok man whatever, anyways,,,that is read only correct cpudan? | 06:11 |
| Cpudan80 | vwhydrowv: You have to chmod the destination directory to 755 (read-write-exec for owner, read and exec for everyone else) | 06:12 |
| bulmer | vwhydrowv, get the correct term so people dont get confused | 06:12 |
| vwhydrowv | ok great | 06:12 |
| vwhydrowv | bulmer im brand new to linux, virtual link is what u call it in windows | 06:12 |

| Gpalco | Hi, Guys! What is wrong with this IP "192.168.0.88" ??? 192.168.1.88 works all right, but not "0.88" !!! It works under Windows. Is it some kind of limitation in Linux ? | 06:13 |
| Eyemean | didnt realise it would past all that | 06:13 |
| Flannel | Gpalco: What are you trying to do with said IP? | 06:13 |
| bulmer | Gpalco, nothing wrong with the ending 0.88..how are you testing these? | 06:13 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, haha it's ok, but in the future you can use a Pastebin (look for the message from ubotu). Feel free to create the folder xserver-xgl inside .config if you wish. | 06:14 |
| CoasterMaster | !pastebin | Eyemean | 06:14 |
| ubotu | Eyemean: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 06:14 |
| youpi | #cgi-bin | 06:14 |
| detectiveinspekt | how can i tell if my network is 10Mbit or 100 | 06:14 |
| detectiveinspekt | Mbit? | 06:14 |
| topicks | somone should make a /msg based pastebin that posts the message to a website and then notifies the channel of the URL. anyone know of something like that a;ready existing? | 06:15 |
| Cpudan80 | vwhydrowv: Be careful with where you link to though --- the link's "target" needs global read permissions (at least) | 06:15 |
| topicks | s/a;ready/already/ | 06:16 |
| Cpudan80 | vwhydrowv: If you aren't careful, it would be possible (in theory) to link down to some stuff that you don't intend to | 06:16 |
| vwhydrowv | i want to pw protect it | 06:16 |
| Cpudan80 | vwhydrowv: Use a .htaccess file | 06:16 |

| vwhydrowv | ok | 06:16 |
| Cpudan80 | vwhydrowv: I don't know how to write one --- google for it though, it's simple | 06:17 |

| Gpalco | Flannel, bulmer, well, I have to connect to a network now where the netadmin tell you which IP to specify. They use IP in this range "192.168.0.XXX". When I set the given IP and try to ping my own computer or others I get this reply in terminal "NETWORK IS UNREACHABLE". Then I changed myIP and my frind's to 192.168.1.XXX and it strated to work, but not with IP with "0". Why??? | 06:18 |
| zero88 | how would i connect to a remote computer on another network? | 06:19 |
| RoshanK | hi i know that this isn't exactly ubuntu related, but can someone help me to set my sata drive as a slave after i just installed an ide drive with my os installed on it? | 06:19 |
| Flannel | Gpalco: Those two IPs are on different subnets most likely. So its most likely that the admin was wrong. | 06:19 |
| RoshanK | zero88 ssh can help you do that | 06:19 |
| bulmer | Gpalco, you get network unreachable if you dont have a correct routing table | 06:19 |
| NineTeen67Comet | zero88: ssh -X <username>@other.ip.add.ress | 06:19 |
| soldats | Gpalco, just use 1 instead of 0 | 06:19 |
| * NineTeen67Comet the -X lets you fire up X applications (like gedit) over ssh | 06:19 | |
| bulmer | zero88, connect for how long? | 06:20 |
| temp00 | how can I use a path with spaces in fstab (to auto mount to /media/win partition ) ? | 06:20 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster, yep dat worked, but is it normal for 3d accelration to fail? | 06:20 |
| zero88 | nineteen67comet roshank ok but isnt that ip behind a modem or router? | 06:20 |
| zero88 | bulmer anylength | 06:20 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster, basically im trying to use cedega | 06:20 |
| bulmer | zero88, are these two computers in same subnet? can you elaborate on the network layout? | 06:21 |
| NineTeen67Comet | zero88: well, like I can access my server via its ip address or its URL .. internal or external doesn't matter as long as you have all the goodies (input) | 06:21 |
| zero88 | nineteen67comet roshank becuase you can have the same adress for example 192.168.1.72 on two different networks. | 06:21 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, what kind of video card do you have? | 06:21 |
| panfist | what app would i use to transcode FLAC files to mp3? | 06:21 |
| matholum | hello everyone ^_^ | 06:21 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster, radeon 9550 | 06:21 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, and you have fglrx installed? | 06:21 |
| NineTeen67Comet | zero88: I use ports to route my machines. So at work I've got a 192.168.0.3 and here I've got a 192.168.0.3 .. each external address port 10003 points it to the specific computer .. | 06:21 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster, yes | 06:22 |
| CoasterMaster | panfist, LAME | 06:22 |
| zero88 | nineteen67comet roshank ok like if i have my network at home, and want to connect to a computer in my cousins seperate network. how would i do that | 06:22 |
| bulmer | soldats that would not solve his issues if he does not have a route | 06:22 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, if you type in 'glxinfo | grep direct' what shows up/ | 06:22 |
| DIL | !dhcp | 06:22 |
| ubotu | dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 06:22 |
| NineTeen67Comet | zero88: Also, I just ssh into my server, then ssh throughout my network. | 06:22 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster direct rendering: Yes | 06:22 |
| zero88 | NineTeen67Comet im still a litle confused | 06:22 |
| bulmer | zero88, you have to explain what devices are in between yours and your cousins, if there are any firewalls in between, the corresponding ip addresses at both ends..etc | 06:23 |
| Gpalco | Flannel, bulmer, soldats, even if I set my own IP to 192.168.1.88 and try to ping 192.168.0.115 (that is the computer with proxy and it's IP cannot be changed) it replys: Network is unreachable, but still works fine with my frind's 192.168.1.50!! I want to use Ubuntu even there. hey wouldn't change their settings. Is there a way ??? | 06:23 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, so then you have 3D acceleration enabled now | 06:23 |
| panfist | coastermaster i know how to use LAME front ends in windows, but is there an example of a command line string i could do to transcode a list/directory of FLAC files to mp3 files?\ | 06:23 |
| zero88 | bulmer ya, becuase there is no direct connection from my network to his. i know im going through a ton of other computers | 06:23 |
| CoasterMaster | panfist, you can script it (which is the easiest way I know how). It's just LAME <filename> I believe, but I'm not too sure on how to fine tune the qualities | 06:23 |
| bulmer | Gpalco, the missing info is the route to the other computer..do this.. route -n from the side you are pinging from and paste result so | 06:23 |
| panfist | coastermaster thanks | 06:24 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster, but wen i run cedega test direct rendering passes, but 3d acceleration faIls | 06:24 |
| temp00 | [] how can I use a path with spaces in fstab (to auto mount to /media/win partition ) ? | 06:24 |
| Nasari | sorry, I have a poor question: How does one open or close a port? | 06:24 |
| matholum | hopefully one of you can help me out.... i have a separate partition for files and i only have read access for some of the folders... i read some tutorials and can't get anywhere, but i can't change the permission over even as root | 06:24 |
| bulmer | zero88, explain what you have on your side, all the equipment and how are they connected? | 06:24 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, hmmm. I'm not sure then what the problem is....you can check out the channel #cedega and they might be able to help) | 06:24 |
| Eyemean | k cheers coastermaster | 06:25 |
| zero88 | bulmer well i have a wireless and wired router. im wired to the router from my laptop | 06:25 |
| vwhydrowv | ln -s didnt work | 06:25 |
| temp00 | :( | 06:25 |
| vwhydrowv | i tried a couple different ways | 06:25 |
| bulmer | zero88, your laptop has both wireless and wired nic cards? both are connected to same router? | 06:26 |
| Nasari | Ain't most ports closed by default? - If so how can open one | 06:26 |
| karsten | Does Ubuntu still support PPC, and if so where are the current d/l'able install disks? Attempting install on an iBook G4 | 06:26 |
| vwhydrowv | sudo ln -s /var/www media/Drobo | 06:26 |

| zero88 | bulmer yes it has both, but i am only connected by wired | 06:26 |
| 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 | 06:26 |
| Flannel | Nasari: You don't really open them, you just have something listen/connect to them | 06:26 |
| dr_willis | temp00: spaces in fstab/mountpoiints can be a real real real pain.. use UnderStores if you want a more readable mountpoint | 06:26 |
| bulmer | zero88, okay, does your router have a firewall active? or your laptop have a firewall active? what is the ip address of your wired nic card now? | 06:27 |
| onats | what application should i install to get something similar to mac osx dashboard? | 06:27 |
| zero88 | bulmer i know my routers ip is 192.168.1.254 and that is pretty much standard for any router. and inside every network it gives a certain ip range, just like everyone elses router. so how do i connect to my another network | 06:27 |
| temp00 | dr_willis, so not possible/recommended ? | 06:27 |
| matholum | any idea on changing the permissions on the folders? | 06:27 |
| zero88 | bulmer yes and yes | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | temp00: its can cause some very bad problems at timnes.. so i advise getting away from spaces :) | 06:27 |
| zero88 | bulmer 192.168.1.78 | 06:27 |
| bulmer | Nasari, they only get opened if you have a service being served at those ports | 06:27 |
| temp00 | oktanouc, thanks :) | 06:27 |
| temp00 | thanks* | 06:27 |
| angel | for a new install what must i doso that ubuntu looks at my 2 160gb satas as 1 320gb? | 06:28 |
| DIL | !dhcp | 06:28 |
| ubotu | dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 06:28 |
| Gpalco | bulmer, I can only connect to internet when at home (due to the mentioned issue) and cannot give those results right now. I can paste what I get when connected at home. Buthere at home I use a small router with dhcp, so just rely on NM and never have a problem. Would that info still help? | 06:28 |
| Nasari | so it's automatic? | 06:28 |
| bulmer | zero88, lets take this step by step, from your laptop now, can you ping www.yahoo.com ? | 06:28 |
| angel | no body? | 06:29 |
| Flannel | Nasari: yes | 06:29 |
| zero88 | bulmer yes | 06:29 |
| onats | angel, if your motherboard supports it, try to raid 0 your HDDs | 06:29 |
| Nasari | Ok, thanks | 06:29 |
| bulmer | Gpalco, without knowing your route -n results, its difficult to tell if you have a correct route path to destination | 06:29 |
| dr_willis | of course dont ya want the disks raided befor you install? | 06:29 |
| John64 | How do i make it so only one user can sudo? | 06:29 |
| bulmer | zero88, what is the ip address of the device you are attempting to connect to? | 06:30 |
| angel | onats: it does not, so i must use raid for this to work? can i use ubuntu software to achieve this? | 06:30 |
| bulmer | John64, only have one member on that admin group see /etc/group | 06:30 |
| zero88 | bulmer 209.131.36.158, oh you mean in the other network? | 06:30 |
| Flannel | John64: don't give anyone else admin powers (what bulmer said, except you can also do it in users and groups) | 06:30 |

| Eyemean | coastermaster, yeah i wish i knew nvidea was the prefereed video card for linux b4 i bought this crappy radeon, lol | 06:34 |
| bulmer | zero88, let him join irc right now like we are in #ubuntu and then you can /dns hisnick to find out his router's ip address | 06:34 |
| matholum | can anyone help me change permissions of a folder and the contents when it doesn't work as root? | 06:34 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, hahah I know what you mean. I'm stuch with a Radeon as well | 06:34 |
| ethan961_ | john64:remove them from /etc/sudoers | 06:34 |
| DIL | John64, you will have to put password if you sudo | 06:34 |
| topicks | i have an nvidia but its like 20 years old | 06:34 |
| zero88 | bulmer ic, so each router has an internal ip, 192.168.1.254 and an external one? | 06:34 |
| Flannel | John64: remove them from the admin group | 06:35 |
| topicks | s/20/10/ | 06:35 |
| bulmer | zero88, possibly, it depends on how he configured his modem/router at his end | 06:35 |
| John64 | they are not in the admin group, but it doesn't give errors if i run a command with sudo | 06:35 |
| John64 | from their account | 06:35 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster, damn dats harsh. my problem was that i was looking for a dual head vga card for the 2 screens at the time, wats ur excuse, lol | 06:35 |
| CoasterMaster | Eyemean, the laptop I have came that way ;) | 06:36 |
| bulmer | zero88, btw do not assume all routers have .254 ip address..some do not | 06:36 |
| Eyemean | coastermaster, lol, i shot myself in the foot there. | 06:36 |
| zero88 | bulmer ok, i just /dns my own name, and it gave me back a ip. is that ip directly linked to me and me only, or is that a computer i connect to to get to the internet | 06:36 |
| DIL | John64, no password? | 06:37 |
| onats | is it possible to have different desktop backgrounds on the different desktops? | 06:37 |
| bulmer | zero88, thats the ip assigned to you by your ISP, and that is considered your external ip address | 06:37 |
| John64 | DIL: say i have jhford (me, admin) and nino. when i am in nino's account i can run sudo ... and it asks for nino's password then runs the comman | 06:37 |
| zero88 | bulmer ok ic | 06:38 |

| === Anie is now known as agus | ||
| bulmer | Kalamansi, you have all these 4 nics? connected to same router? | 06:38 |
| Gpalco | bulmer, thank you very much for giviing your time to deal with this! "bulmer: Gpalco, that looks okay for now, the 192.168.0.x is in same vicinity as your computer is?" Is "vicinity" used as a technical term? Or you are asking how far I live from that office where I am strugling with stupid network setup? | 06:38 |
| Gpalco | bulmer, English isnotmy 1st lang | 06:38 |
| zero88 | bulmer is that ip adress scanable? | 06:39 |
| aunes | hey guys. I have 7.10 server. I want to forward my xsession but when I connect with putty (with X11 Forwarding turned on) the $DISPLAY variable isn't set. How can I correct this? | 06:39 |
| bulmer | Gpalco, the reason i asked about vicinity as in closeness.. you can be attempting to ping a 192.168.0.x but if its on the other end of the world and you dont have path to it, it will not work | 06:39 |
| bulmer | zero88, most likely yes | 06:40 |
| nickrud | aunes, a silly question maybe, but do you have an x server installed on your server? | 06:40 |
| DIL | John64, is pw same as admin?? | 06:40 |
| onats | angel, you can do a software raid on ubuntu | 06:41 |
| zero88 | bulmer ok, is there any other way of getting the ip other then /dns | 06:41 |
| angel | onats: what is the name of the package i need to install to do this? or perhaps the name of the app so i can google it for research | 06:41 |
| bulmer | Gpalco, what I really meant is if the other computer is in the same building...am trying to figure out if you have to get out of the building to get to the other end or its within the same building | 06:41 |
| aunes | nickrud: Yes. If I manually set the $DISPLAY variable, I can run xeyes and gvim | 06:41 |
| John64 | DIL: no | 06:41 |
| Gpalco | bulmer, oh! sorry. I understand now. It is very close. Once I boot into Windows (forgive me that fault, but is the only option yet) it works fine, even with XXX.XXX.0.XXX | 06:41 |
| John64 | theirs is different to mine | 06:42 |
| zero88 | bulmer sorry if it sounds like im asking the same question over in different variations | 06:42 |
| bulmer | zero88, yes | 06:42 |
| hoan | chao moi nguoi | 06:42 |

| aunes | nickrud, I don't know what's up. the guys in ##linux seem to think its an ubuntu issue. It works fine at work w/ Vista + VMWare Player instead of XP + VMWare Server (which I have here at home) | 06:43 |
| bulmer | Gpalco, is there a network admin support that manages which network are allowed to reach each other ? | 06:43 |
| vwhydrowv | i just setup samba but my drive that i shared is not getting noticed by my xp machines, i made sure the workgroups are the same, any ideas? | 06:43 |
| nickrud | aunes, I don't have putty installed (ubuntu :) but are the settings the same on both machines? | 06:44 |
| aunes | nickrud, from what I can tell, yes. | 06:44 |
| aunes | nickrud, the issue is that putty doesn't seem to be passing the proper $DISPLAY value along with the connection. | 06:44 |
| hoan | kagsvob | 06:44 |
| ollle | i did it! i found the cause of the bug in Save (Save As) dialogs that erased the user-written file name on folder change! | 06:44 |
| bulmer | zero88, did you get your cousins (remote end) ip address yet? | 06:44 |
| nickrud | aunes, then I'd just be talking from the wrong orifice if I tried to troubleshoot much further | 06:44 |
| temp00 | will automounting (with fstab) slow down the boot ? I have 3 partitions (2 ntfs/1 fat32) | 06:45 |

| CentHOGG | vwhydrowv: hi, can you browse the window drives from linux? | 06:45 |
| nickrud | ollle, you mean the fix? | 06:45 |
| zero88 | bulmer yes | 06:45 |
| bulmer | zero88, now can you ping that ip address? | 06:45 |
| zero88 | bulmer i ran nmap on it | 06:45 |
| zero88 | bulmer says its not up | 06:46 |
| ollle | nickrud: no fix yet, i have to come back to my usual computer and modify gtk and test-link | 06:46 |
| bulmer | zero88, why are you using nmap? | 06:46 |
| ollle | i just know what the problem is | 06:46 |
| nickrud | ollle, if you've found the cause, the fix can't be far behind. I've always hated that, so I'll say thanks in advance | 06:46 |
| bulmer | zero88, what are your intentions? | 06:46 |
| zero88 | bulmer but pinging says its up. for security purposes | 06:46 |
| bulmer | zero88, his or yours? | 06:46 |
| ollle | no problem! i enjoyed this little hacking | 06:47 |
| zero88 | bulmer making sure he doesnt have anything running that shouldnt be | 06:47 |
| Gpalco | bulmer, Network admin avoids even talking about it. Plus I cannot insist too much so they don't get and impresion it is theLinux that iscausing the problem. My idea was to promote Ubuntu. I always avoid using "0" in IPs (just in case). But is there generally a limitation on using it in IPs ??? | 06:47 |
| === Anie is now known as agus | ||
| zero88 | bulmer im actually pinging and nmapping my ip | 06:47 |
| temp00 | when I try to rename my partitions (in "Computer"), it always says "sorry, the item could not be renamed" | 06:47 |
| ollle | nikrud: by the way, there seems to be more that one related problem. i fixed the only bug that i could reproduce with feisty | 06:47 |
| zero88 | bulmer im trying to check my own network from the outside. thats why im asking asll these questions | 06:48 |
| ollle | *nickrud | 06:48 |
| bulmer | Gpalco, no limitation I know of other than not being in the range.. the network people sets the policy on which network you can get to and can not, for example forbid you in getting to accounting network per say | 06:48 |
| nickrud | ollle, hrm. I'm on gutsy so I think you need to work harder for me ;P | 06:48 |
| mrynit | anyone have a dell 1420n? | 06:49 |
| ollle | but once a fix is contributed it will appear in gutsy as well of course | 06:49 |
| ollle | gutsy is 7.10 , right? | 06:49 |
| nickrud | yes | 06:49 |
| bulmer | Gpalco the network admin could possibly have a filter preventing you to reach the 192.168.0.x subnet..hard to tell other than you cant get there | 06:49 |
| temp00 | anyone? | 06:50 |
| ollle | actually, im astonished a real gtk+ coder didnt find it before me | 06:50 |
| mrynit | i was wondering if the glossy screen on the 1420n is worth getting | 06:50 |
| |ns|nR8 | in windows temp00 ? | 06:50 |
| zero88 | bulmer why would using nmap on my ip adress say its not up | 06:50 |
| ollle | the problem is just what i expected it to be :/ | 06:50 |
| vwhydrowv | i just setup samba but my drive that i shared is not getting noticed by my xp machines, i made sure the workgroups are the same, any ideas? | 06:50 |

Linux is known to be followng the rules, so I thought may be there was a requirement on avoiding this digit in IPs, which Windows simply ignored? I could easily believe that.

| ruru | when i check the router only this computer has a lease | 07:08 |
| Thai | i | 07:08 |
| Kalamansi | i want pc2 to have internet bulmer... but when i connect pc2 to the switch still no internet (pc2) | 07:08 |
| teethdood | has kmldonkey been fixed yet? | 07:08 |
| ruru | even if i reboot other one will not eastablish a ip from router | 07:08 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : pc 1 server ubuntu have internet (which is im using it now) --- modem -- > server ubuntu > switch > pc2 | 07:08 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi, okay lets start with basic troubleshooting.. can pc2 ping your pc1 Nic2? | 07:09 |
| ompaul | ruru, seems to me your router is only giving out one ip. is that correct? | 07:09 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : status of pc2 is limited or no connectivity. i try to restart the pc2 too..still no internet | 07:09 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi, okay lets start with basic troubleshooting.. can pc2 ping your pc1 Nic2? | 07:09 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : ok sec. how to get the ip of pc1 nic2? i try ifconfig tho | 07:10 |
| ruru | i have it set for range 1-50 been using it..been working all night on building nfs samba local network andit just stop from router on one of my systems | 07:10 |
| foug | how can i see my PC hardware info through the GUI? | 07:11 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : http://pastebin.com/m46b5521e | 07:11 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi, okay lets get down to even more basic, on your server aka pc1 ifconfig and tell me which ip address is assigned to NIC2 | 07:11 |
| ollle | i solved the major bug, i solved the major bug! i am so great, you shall all obey my will | 07:11 |

| bulmer | Kalamansi, is that for your server? | 07:12 |
| ruru | i have dhcp server set to reserve ip forever | 07:12 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : yes. | 07:12 |
| Draynor | Can anyone help me? When I insert my Dvd-r, I get a error: "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'. | 07:12 |

| Kevin` | how can i, or can i, remove the kernel and kernel module packages safely? i'm using a custom kernel for this device so they serve no purpose except to cause an error when upgrading | 07:13 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : yes. the ip? | 07:13 |

| Draynor | Can anyone help me? When I insert my Dvd-r, I get a error: "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'. PLEASE HELP ME! | 07:14 |
| ompaul | ruru, on the box that is not getting ip do this, sudo dhclient - it should catch it again - have a look at your wiring it is not normal behaviour for your o/s to drop it is however usual if anything touches the cable at all maybe loose connection | 07:14 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : the eth1 inet ip i guess | 07:14 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi, do you know which of the four is connected to your modem? | 07:14 |
| Draynor | CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP? :S | 07:14 |
| Draynor | Can anyone help me? When I insert my Dvd-r, I get a error: "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'. | 07:14 |

| Malachi | How can I tell Firestarter to allow an entire network? | 07:15 |
| ollle | buy soldats and nickrud and the rest of you, i will try to get a few hours of sleep | 07:15 |
| Malachi | I want my entire 192.168.1.x to be allowed. | 07:15 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi, wait a minute, you have to be sure now, again, which of the 4 is connected to the modem? | 07:15 |
| Kevin` | Draynor where do you see the error, what filesystem is on the dvd, what did you try to mount it as, etc. | 07:15 |
| Draynor | sorry.. i thought perhaps nobody saw it :( | 07:15 |
| Draynor | I downloaded WoW and I have all the installation files on it | 07:15 |
| Draynor | I burnt it with Vista | 07:16 |
| Kevin` | iso or just the files | 07:16 |
| th0r | Malachi don't know about firestarter, but in iptables you would refer to the net as 192.168.1.0/24 | 07:16 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi if you are not sure, do this, shutdown your server, remove the extraneous nic cards, so it is easy to figure out which is which | 07:16 |
| Malachi | th0r: That's what I need, thanks. | 07:16 |

| Kevin` | Draynor did you verify it after you wrote it? try mounting it with iso9660 or udf, whichever you aren't trying now | 07:17 |
| Draynor | It's not in Iso, it's like Autorun.exe, the 4 huge installation files and a bit other stuff. It's not the game's problem, it's something with UDF | 07:17 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi hurry up..cinderella is awaiting midnight..hehe | 07:17 |
| ruru | no work lease in persistant database -sleeping | 07:18 |
| ruru | when i run dhclient that is message gives me | 07:18 |
| Draynor | my fstab looks like this: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 | 07:18 |
| bulmer | ruru, how many of your nic is connected to same router? | 07:18 |
| ompaul | ruru, your network card is now suspect, as is your wiring and the port you are plugged into on the router | 07:18 |
| DIL | can cd read dvd? | 07:18 |
| Kevin` | DIL no | 07:19 |
| bulmer | DIL no | 07:19 |
| ruru | 2 nics one in each computer | 07:19 |
| th0r | Draynor can you use both udf and iso9660 as mount options? are they not mutually exclusive? | 07:19 |
| ompaul | ruru, try restarting the router in case it got some kind of brain outage | 07:19 |
| DIL | Xactly | 07:19 |
| ruru | i restarted it 3 times | 07:19 |
| Draynor | Umm can you provide me instructions how to use them? Im kind of new with this whole mounting thing | 07:19 |
| ruru | and reboot the computer that is down twice | 07:19 |
| Kevin` | Draynor grep cd /proc/mounts | 07:19 |
| bulmer | ruru oh, i thought you only had one computer..one gets an ip address and the other pc does not? both are ethernet? | 07:19 |
| ompaul | ruru, however I have replaced a network card in the last 48 hours for that reason - I had other network issues all of which were described above | 07:19 |
| Kevin` | Draynor it really should just have worked automatically unless you used very strange options making the dvd, I suspect it could be corrupted | 07:20 |
| ruru | yes | 07:20 |
| th0r | Draynor I don't think you should have the cd/dvd in fstab. hald will detect the disk format and mount the drive properly | 07:20 |
| Kevin` | th0r it's in mine | 07:21 |
| Draynor | ok i did that and I KNOW its not corrupted because it worked on my friend's computer who used the same disc to install the game | 07:21 |
| ruru | i down it drop nic in and reboot see what happens. | 07:21 |
| Draynor | So what do u suggest I do? | 07:21 |
| Kevin` | Draynor the purpose of that command was informational. what was the result | 07:21 |
| th0r | Draynor I have a cd/dvd rw and it doesn't show up in my fstab | 07:21 |
| Draynor | i typed 'grep cd /proc/mounts' in command but it does nothing | 07:22 |
| Kevin` | ok | 07:22 |
| Kevin` | Draynor mount -t udf /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 | 07:22 |
| travis | I just got feisty installed, however for some reason firefox crashes as soon as I run it. When I run it from command line it says "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". Has anyone seen this before or have any suggestions on how to deal with it? | 07:22 |
| Draynor | i get this error when i do that: mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 07:23 |
| Draynor | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, | 07:23 |

| vwhydrowv | im trying to access my smb shared directory from windows and it keeps prompting me to put in the username and password, i know its correct, any suggestions? | 07:23 |
| Draynor | EXACT same result | 07:23 |
| Draynor | same error | 07:23 |
| Kevin` | Draynor dmesg|tail | 07:23 |
| Kevin` | ...or so | 07:23 |
| Kevin` | =p | 07:24 |
| th0r | travis either firefox didn't install correctly, or one of its support libraries didn't. first step would be to uninstall and then reinstall firefox | 07:24 |
| ruru | new ubuntu so hope it auto detects this new nic put in | 07:24 |

| matholum | lol... ok... no one has answered for a while so i was gettig confused | 07:35 |
| lewwy | cd burning in windows vista is very broken | 07:35 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi, what is un-usual about what you pasted? | 07:35 |
| Draynor | No I haven't. I've only used XP burnt dvds on Ubuntu, not Vista | 07:35 |
| Draynor | It works on XP and Vista though. | 07:35 |
| Kevin` | Draynor on the same computer or different computers | 07:35 |
| lewwy | must be some sort of closed source secret | 07:35 |

| Kevin` | Draynor try finalizing the disc | 07:37 |
| rich1 | th0r: thanks!! | 07:37 |
| Draynor | What do you mean? | 07:38 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : yeah the ip address.. but this is a wireless internet broadband...my isp give me a antenna and a cable. then connect the rj45 to nic1... | 07:38 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi next is for you to download dhcp server on your ubuntu server or you can assign static to eth2 and also on your pc2 | 07:38 |
| Kevin` | hey, it's your software. it's usually called exactly that | 07:38 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: if you're in need of booting to something, try XP recovery console or Super GRUB CD | 07:38 |
| th0r | rich1 that may need a colon instead of a comma after $PATH...can't recall | 07:38 |
| vwhydrowv | no prob, feels good helping someone else especially since i just started linux today :) | 07:38 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi your eth2 does not have an ip address | 07:38 |
| Draynor | Called exactly what? | 07:38 |
| th0r | rich1 you can check the path with 'echo $PATH' | 07:38 |
| Kevin` | finalize | 07:38 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: fixmbr at XP recovery console so you can boot to something | 07:38 |
| ruru | anyone wouldnt happen to know how to switch the connection from one nic to other | 07:39 |
| lewwy | anyone here have any idea regarding an older soundmax card on ubuntu 7.10? Its not showing up in hardware anywhere | 07:39 |
| nshuman | scguy how do i get to xp recovery console? | 07:39 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : when i have no signal or no internet i just go to browser and type any website e.g www.yahoo.com and it redirect me to the website of my isp and login... | 07:39 |
| Kevin` | Draynor some drives don't recognize discs that aren't "finished" writing data to them | 07:39 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: pop in your XP CD, at the installation screen, press R, then C | 07:39 |
| Kevin` | Draynor this disc you could add more files to, for example | 07:39 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : how to set an ip address to eth2? | 07:39 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: when you reach the temrinal, fixmbr | 07:39 |
| Kevin` | Draynor odd that it would happen with a writer.. | 07:39 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: then reboot | 07:39 |
| nanbudh | nshuman: try smart boot manager.But u need a clean floppy disk for that. Boot up from floppy and it will give u a choice of drives u wish to boot up from. | 07:39 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: that should get you back the ability to boot to P | 07:39 |
| scguy318 | *XP | 07:40 |
| Draynor | So what should I do? The reason why this disk is so important is because I dont have a backup copy of it. | 07:40 |
| rich1 | th0r: just did it with the comma. it added my home dir to the path. | 07:40 |
| nshuman | uh... unfortunately i have no idea where my xp cd is :-/ any other way around this? | 07:40 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: you may try the Super GRUB CD | 07:40 |
| Kevin` | Draynor easy: read the files on another computer and write them with a different proram | 07:40 |
| Kevin` | program* | 07:40 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: works off of a CD and USB I believe | 07:40 |
| mari | anyone? | 07:40 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi ifconfig eth2 xx.x.x.x something like this..or you can google for correct syntax..am slow right now | 07:40 |
| Kevin` | Draynor hard: find how to finalize the disk with whatever you have | 07:40 |
| cvd | i have a xx.sh shot make it executable? | 07:41 |
| Draynor | So basically, I have to go with the second option since I have no backup of the content on a PC right? | 07:41 |
| shawnmstout | i have a apache web server and im trying to figure out how to share a local drive to the directory | 07:41 |
| rich1 | th0r: ugh. it should have been a colon after $PATH. | 07:41 |
| nshuman | scguy what is the super grub cd? also... say i do get into xp, what do i do from there? i think the problem is that my bios isnt recognizing the harddrive that i installed ubuntu to. did i have to configure the drive before i used ubuntu's partition manager to install on it? | 07:41 |
| shawnmstout | has anyone tried this before? | 07:41 |
| th0r | rich1 yeah...couldn't remember...sorry | 07:41 |
| Kevin` | Draynor can't you read the disc in other drives? | 07:41 |
| rich1 | th0r: how do i delete from path? | 07:42 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : sudo ifconfig 192.168.1.2 | 07:42 |
| Kalamansi | [sudo] password for lan: | 07:42 |
| Kalamansi | 192.168.1.2: error fetching interface information: Device not found | 07:42 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi you made me look at my notes.. ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev eth2 brd+ | 07:42 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: the Super GRUB CD is a CD that lets you restore bootability and lets you boot an arbitrary partition | 07:42 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: and configure in what way? | 07:42 |
| Draynor | Yes on my newer Vista computer I can but at the moment it's in a place where I can't access it for a few days. | 07:42 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : sudo lan@lan-desktop:~$ ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev eth2 brd+ | 07:43 |
| Kalamansi | Error: either "local" is duplicate, or "brd+" is a garbage. | 07:43 |
| Kevin` | Draynor try readcd dev=/dev/scd0 -f whatever.iso | 07:43 |
| shawnmstout | anyone? | 07:43 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: if your BIOS isn't recognizing your HDD, how do you have it hooked up? | 07:43 |
| rich1 | th0r: i added ",/home/rich1" to $PATH, how do i delete that dir? | 07:43 |
| th0r | rich1 you have to define the entire path as far as I know. course...there are ways to use bash scripting to delete part of it and rewrite it, but I don't think that would be worth the trouble. Just 'echo $PATH', highlight the part you do want and paste it into 'export PATH=,,,,,' | 07:43 |
| n6hgg | j #kubuntu | 07:43 |
| Kevin` | Draynor if it works try mounting that. I doubt it will work though | 07:43 |
| rich1 | th0r: ok. i'll try that. | 07:43 |
| nshuman | scguy: what i did was popped a brand new harddrive into my computer (and connected it of course) but did no sort of installation with software or anything like that to get my computer to recognize it. when i was installing ubuntu, it asked which drive to install on and i told it to install on the new drive.. but now when i start up my computer i get Grub loading error 21.. and when i try to go to my boot menu in my bios i cannot select | 07:44 |
| cvd | Hello | 07:44 |
| Draynor | what would go in place of the 'whatever'.iso? I have NO clue at all of the files names on the disc. | 07:44 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi, what is that sudo doing there on that line? | 07:44 |
| th0r | rich1 you can highlight the path in the terminal and copy it to a text editor, edit it, then copy it back into the terminal as part of the export command | 07:44 |
| Kevin` | Draynor whatever you want to call the file | 07:44 |
| mari | I am getting ERROR 503 Service Unavailable from the tuxfamily.org repos | 07:44 |
| Kevin` | wow? | 07:44 |
| th0r | rich1 that's what I would do | 07:44 |
| mari | please hewget http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/reacocard.asc | 07:44 |
| cvd | ./xx.sh +x? | 07:44 |
| mari | I mean please help | 07:44 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: hmm | 07:44 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : same thing also without "sudo" Error: either "local" is duplicate, or "brd+" is a garbage. | 07:44 |
| mari | I am a girl and that | 07:44 |
| soldats | problem loading server | 07:45 |
| Kevin` | Draynor actually, I found something that might work for you | 07:45 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi paste the exact command again? dont include your system prompts | 07:45 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: does your BIOS detect your new HDD at all? | 07:45 |
| Kevin` | Draynor in man growisos: | 07:45 |
| Kevin` | To finalize the multisession DVD maintaining maximum compatibility: | 07:45 |
| Kevin` | growisofs -M /dev/dvd=/dev/zero | 07:45 |
| Draynor | it says: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50832/ and the number after "addr:" is increasing | 07:45 |
| rich1 | th0r: i think that worked. let me try the script and i'll let you know. | 07:45 |
| mari | anyone | 07:45 |
| Draynor | what | 07:45 |
| mari | ? | 07:45 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev eth2 brd+ | 07:46 |
| Kevin` | Draynor that would finalize the disk, but since it's reading something let it go for now | 07:46 |
| Draynor | Ok I will try that | 07:46 |
| Draynor | Ok | 07:46 |
| cvd | chmod +x, thansk anyway | 07:46 |
| nshuman | scguy: not that i can see... when i go to the boot menu it has a list of items to boot from. it has my floppy drive, my two ide harddrives that i have in there (the new drive is a sata) and my two dvd drives. nothing else. | 07:46 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi and you get an error with that? | 07:46 |
| syndr0 | is it possible to partition a usb hard drive? | 07:46 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : Error: either "local" is duplicate, or "brd+" is a garbage. | 07:47 |
| th0r | mari that server does not seem to be in business | 07:47 |
| scguy318 | syndr0: yes | 07:47 |
| mari | ? | 07:47 |
| Kevin` | syndr0 yes. | 07:47 |
| nshuman | scguy: ubuntu however recognized the new hd no problem and said that it was able to install ubuntu onto it | 07:47 |
| syndr0 | do i havew to do it through terminal? | 07:47 |
| syndr0 | cause gparted wont let me | 07:47 |
| syndr0 | or it wont let me cause its mounter | 07:47 |
| syndr0 | ? | 07:47 |
| syndr0 | mountd* | 07:47 |
| JW | bulmer: hi | 07:47 |
| Kevin` | syndr0 it should let you. make sure it's unmounted of course.. | 07:47 |
| syndr0 | ok | 07:47 |
| syndr0 | duh | 07:47 |
| syndr0 | ty | 07:47 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi okay remove the brd+ on that command | 07:47 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: perhaps you should check your BIOS settings in regards to SATA | 07:47 |
| bulmer | JW hello | 07:47 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: if the BIOS cannot see your device, I believe GRUB will not be able to either | 07:48 |
| mari | th0r: do you think its a long-term issue? | 07:48 |
| JW | how are you today? | 07:48 |
| Return0 | hey | 07:48 |
| syndr0 | kevin', i wanna format this removable hd for a mac osx10.4 what file system should i use, or youdont know | 07:48 |
| ruru | when i sudo smbpasswd -a <username> I get segement fault (core dump) | 07:48 |
| Draynor | kevin, its about half way there. just saying.. | 07:48 |
| th0r | mari I would have no way to know...don't even know if it ever existed | 07:48 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: other than that, I unfortunately do not know too much with regards to your issue :( | 07:48 |
| Kevin` | syndr0 fat32 or hfs+ | 07:48 |
| teckfatt | syndr0: to umount just type $ sudo umount /dev/sdb1 (usually is sdb1 u can check it with df -h) | 07:48 |
| nshuman | scguy: how can i make my bios see the device? because i don't understand how ubuntu could see it but my bios couldnt... hm.. | 07:48 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : lan@lan-desktop:~$ ip addr add 192.168.2.1/42 dev eth2 | 07:48 |
| Kalamansi | Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "192.168.2.1/42". | 07:48 |
| scguy318 | nshuman: because Linux initializes devices independently of the BIOS | 07:48 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi 24 not 42 | 07:48 |
| JW | bulmer: wha's cooking? | 07:49 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : 24 is for 24 computers? | 07:49 |
| Return0 | I'm trying to run unbuntu on my PS3 and I just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 and now I can't boot. It hangs at the "Booting system..." after loading the kernel | 07:49 |
| nshuman | scguy: i see... well this is kind of a bummer... any advice as to how i could go about finding out how to make my bios recognize my new harddrive? like, was there a disc i was supposed to use when i first put it in? | 07:49 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi nope, 24 bits are the mask bits to have 1's in them | 07:49 |
| shawnmstout | i have a apache web server and im trying to figure out how to share a local drive to the directory | 07:50 |
| th0r | Kalamansi 24 says pay attention to the first 24 bits of this address | 07:50 |
| XiXaQ | in what file is third-party repositories stored? I've added those for partner, but it's not added in sources.list? | 07:50 |
| JW | bulmer: do you know gaim? | 07:50 |
| n6hgg | nshuman, are the jumpers on the new hard drive set correctly? | 07:50 |
| bulmer | JW am assisting some folks with their network issues | 07:50 |
| Kevin` | ok time for my question again: how can I remove the packages for the kernel and kernel modules it doesn't attempt to download them and is it safe to do so (ignoring the obvious) | 07:50 |
| Kevin` | *so it doesn't | 07:50 |
| bulmer | JW not familiar with using icq or messaging thingy | 07:50 |
| nshuman | n6hgg: yes i assume so.. it should be set as a slave, correct? | 07:51 |
| releod | Anyone know why Netatalk does not autostart properly, and how to resolve that (Gutsy)? | 07:51 |
| mari | ??: | 07:51 |
| n6hgg | yes, as slave I beleive. | 07:51 |
| Draynor | kevin, its done doing that. its saved as an iso | 07:51 |
| nshuman | n6hgg: well that is what i believe I have it set at | 07:51 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: I wonder if setting it to "cable select" would correct it? | 07:51 |
| Kevin` | Draynor file whatever.iso | 07:52 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi, did it took the ip address assigned? you can confirm via ifconfig | 07:52 |
| th0r | shawnmstout what do you mean about sharing a local dir...do you want people to be able to view the directory or do you want to map it into the apache serverspace or???? | 07:52 |
| nshuman | n6hgg: how would i do that? | 07:52 |
| Return0 | So what can I do? I don't really know what I can do in kboot to get my system back up and I don't really know what changed in the upgrade that could have caused the problem. | 07:52 |
| Draynor | /home/king/whatever.iso: data | 07:52 |
| Kevin` | Draynor ignore it for now and try the growisofs command given. after that remove the cd and put it back in | 07:52 |
| netlarlinux | I am trying to share a fat32 drive from linux, do I need to change it from the root group? | 07:53 |
| releod | How do I get Netatalk to start when the system boots up? | 07:53 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: not sure, but alot of drives have a jumper position for "cable select" in addition to the usual "master" and "slave" settings. | 07:53 |
| Draynor | :-( /dev/dvd doesn't look like isofs... | 07:53 |
| Draynor | thats the msg i got | 07:53 |
| th0r | netlarlinux no...all you need to do is give it the correct options in /etc/fstab | 07:53 |
| nshuman | n6hgg: i see... what do you think setting it to cable select as opposed to slave would do? | 07:53 |
| JW | 8-) | 07:54 |
| Kevin` | Draynor I would just leave the thing alone for a few days until you can copy the files off. assuming /dev/dvd points to /dev/scd0 | 07:54 |
| shadix | ack my internet connection speed is manic-depressive | 07:54 |
| netlarlinux | I already am sharing a folder on that drive, that is not enough th0r? | 07:54 |
| Draynor | How can I find out if it points there or not? | 07:54 |
| Kevin` | ls -l /dev/dvd | 07:54 |
| puff | bTypically the default | 07:54 |
| shawnmstout | hey puff | 07:54 |
| Kevin` | cmon, someone tell me how to delete my kernel | 07:55 |
| === DragoNick is now known as nicolam | ||
| Draynor | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-01-04 18:38 /dev/dvd -> scd0 | 07:55 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: it doesn't harm anything to have them in the wrong position, it will just cause the machine to not boot at all or it won't see the drive at all. I don't know if "cable select" will fix it but you can't hurt anything by trying. If it doesn't work, just return it to where it is now and you'll be back to the same problem you have now. | 07:55 |
| shadix | when DL new apps the speed is like a rollercoaster | 07:55 |
| shadix | damn brbr | 07:55 |
| spee | Kevin` rm -rf /usr/src/dev/kernel | 07:55 |
| puff | shawnmstout: Okay, so typically the default apache install is configured to now follow links across partitions. | 07:55 |
| Kevin` | spee hehe, the packages for it, so it doesn't auto install | 07:55 |
| shawnmstout | ok | 07:55 |
| nshuman | n6hgg: i see.. thank you for your help, i will try that. if that doesnt work however, can you think of any other ways to get my bios to recognize my harddrive? | 07:55 |
| netlarlinux | The drive is not even in that file th0r | 07:56 |
| A99 | Hello World, how i can install .rpm's on ubuntu? | 07:56 |
| bulmer | Kevin`, you want to remove a kernel? in /boot/ ? | 07:56 |
| scguy318 | !rpm | A99 | 07:56 |
| ubotu | A99: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 07:56 |
| fantum13 | Would anyone know how to set up GNOME so that it allowed me to enter a password to use for an EncFS encrypted home directory? | 07:56 |
| scguy318 | A99: it may not the best idea though | 07:56 |
| puff | shawnmstout: so, by "local drive" do you mean you want to have apache serve data from a different partition? | 07:56 |
| Ademan | i do this once every upgrade, anyone know where i can get the bluecurve metacity theme? | 07:56 |
| shawnmstout | yes | 07:56 |
| Draynor | kevin, Go to Synaptic Package Manager or Adept and search for linux-image. and delete the one u want? lol i just saw that on google, don't know if it'll work | 07:56 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: is it a pretty recent machine? I've not had that problem with bioses as old as 1996. | 07:56 |
| A99 | So i need to install alien? | 07:56 |
| th0r | netlarlinux I'm not following the problem. You can mount the drive anywhere, but usually they are mounted to /media/<mountname>. | 07:57 |
| shawnmstout | different drive altogether but i believe linux just sees it as partitions | 07:57 |
| ruru | well its not nic card..something in system. both nics configure and show connected but will not recieve dhcp info from the router. | 07:57 |
| Kevin` | Draynor I don't have the graphics driver installed. might if I did :) | 07:57 |
| nshuman | n6hgg: yes, I got the computer in 2002 | 07:57 |
| Ademan | A99: why are you installing rpm files anyways? chances are it's already in the repositories | 07:57 |
| netlarlinux | it is mounted there, it is a second drive th0r | 07:57 |
| Draynor | oh. | 07:57 |
| ruru | think its yet another one them reinstall ubuntu to fix the problem | 07:57 |
| bulmer | ruru both are wifi nic cards? | 07:57 |
| shawnmstout | i have it shared as /media/Drobo | 07:57 |
| ruru | no just normal nics | 07:57 |
| shawnmstout | with samba | 07:57 |
| A99 | Ademan, there is no VMware Workstation in repos. | 07:57 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: I could always be barking up the wrong tree here. But, you'll probably figure it out pretty soon. | 07:58 |
| Kevin` | bulmer the problem is it's trying to install new versions and failing. but it would be nice to not be wasting space either | 07:58 |
| scguy318 | A99: just use the VMware install script | 07:58 |
| th0r | netlarlinux ok....sorry...not following the question. Can you restate th eproblem? | 07:58 |
| puff | shawnmstout: Ah, okay, well samba is tricky territory, but if linux just sees it as a partition then apache probably will serve it, if oyu enable cross-partition linking. | 07:58 |
| A99 | scguy318, i need to download it in .tar.gz? | 07:58 |
| Draynor | kevin my thing does point to there so I guess I'll just wait until I get to go on the new PC. Thanks a lot for the help though, I learned a lot about commands. :) | 07:58 |
| bulmer | Kevin`, id retain the old one just in case the new one does not work or suits you | 07:58 |
| shawnmstout | how do i enable that? | 07:58 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: my problems have always been when the jumper wasn't set correctly for the computer, but most of my older computers like "slave" for the second drive. | 07:58 |
| Kevin` | bulmer the default kernels don't work on this device | 07:58 |
| netlarlinux | I am trying to share my fat32 drive that is on my linux box th0r | 07:59 |
| scguy318 | A99: yes | 07:59 |
| netlarlinux | over samba | 07:59 |
| nshuman | n6hgg: its okay, thank you for your help. i hope i get it figured out pretty soon, i can't use ubuntu or xp right now :-( | 07:59 |
| shawnmstout | and how do i create a link | 07:59 |
| bulmer | Kevin`, oh okay, i didnt realize it is a special device | 07:59 |
| * A99 is saying:THX, scguy! and exiting (: | 07:59 | |
| shawnmstout | im almost done setting up my server, this is the last thing i have to do | 07:59 |
| th0r | netlarlinux share it with users on that computer or with other computers? | 07:59 |
| nshuman | n6hgg: do you think the fact that this is my third harddrive and it is the only sata drive (the other two are ide) has anything to do with it? | 07:59 |
| bulmer | Kevin`, have you tried other kernels? maybe damn small linux or those tiny ones? | 07:59 |
| netlarlinux | I can see it on the other computer, but cannot log in to the folder th0r | 07:59 |
| shawnmstout | i have got apache, mysql, php, phpmyadmin, and linux installed with smbshare dont today | 08:00 |
| netlarlinux | yes th0r | 08:00 |
| shawnmstout | not too shabby for a beginner huh? | 08:00 |
| zetheroo | how do I get out of this screen zoom mode?? | 08:00 |
| Kevin` | bulmer I have one for it that works, the problem is the kernel packages when upgrading now | 08:00 |
| netlarlinux | Other computers | 08:00 |
| netlarlinux | My mac th0r | 08:00 |
| th0r | netlarlinux ok...when you attempt to map the drive on the other computer, you need to enter a user and password, right? | 08:00 |
| zetheroo | anyone>? | 08:00 |
| GFree | wow. you done good for a n00b shawnmstout. :) | 08:00 |
| netlarlinux | yes | 08:01 |
| bulmer | Kevin`, yeah, packaging of customized stuff is rather cumbersome to include | 08:01 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: good luck, and may the force be with you. by the way, if you need to restore to boot only xp, you might be able to put a windows emergency boot floppy in there and type "fdisk mbr" to get the drive back to booting only xp. you might want to google that trick. | 08:01 |
| shawnmstout | thanks | 08:01 |
| shawnmstout | :) | 08:01 |
| netlarlinux | and I enter in my user name and login for the computer th0r | 08:01 |
| Kevin` | bulmer bah we're miscommunicating so much :) | 08:01 |
| th0r | netlarlinux did you define that password with smbpasswd? It can be the same password but it has to be defined with the command smbpasswd | 08:01 |
| Kevin` | bulmer I didn't package mine, the packages for the normal i686 kernel is causing problems | 08:01 |
| puff | shawnmstout: okay, so you have a directory, /etc/apache2/sites-available | 08:01 |
| netlarlinux | opps, did not know that th0r | 08:01 |
| shawnmstout | had alot of help with it through here and reading though so i cant take all the credit | 08:01 |
| nano__ | does anybody know how i can use apt-get to get a list of programs that are maintained by apt-get? | 08:01 |
| bulmer | Kevin`, sorry am misreading you..its midnight for me..my eyes are half closed :) | 08:01 |
| th0r | netlarlinux give me a sec....I just solved this for someone else....let me see if it is still in the buffer. | 08:02 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : lan@lan-desktop:~$ ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev eth2 | 08:02 |
| Kalamansi | RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted | 08:02 |
| netlarlinux | ok | 08:02 |
| zetheroo | anyone? | 08:02 |
| puff | shawnmstout: there's a file in sites-available where the config stuff for each website is kept. The default file is probably what you're using, unlss you set up a domain-specific sites-available file. | 08:02 |
| Kevin` | Kalamansi be root | 08:02 |
| ruru | got be just a setting keeping it from connecting. | 08:02 |
| bullgard4 | [Gutsy] What does 'frv' stand for in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/arch/frv/kernel/setup.c? | 08:02 |
| nshuman | n6hgg: thank you.. i think im gonna try the super grub cd and see if that will do anything for me. i dont happen to have any floppy disks (nor do i have any idea how to use them) | 08:02 |
| shadix_ | what is with my download rate. it's going from unknown to 0 kbs | 08:02 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi whats the result of ifconfig ? you have an ip address for eth2 now or still no? | 08:03 |
| shawnmstout | yes i do | 08:03 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: probably can execute "fdisk mbr" from the xp cd install disk or something. | 08:03 |
| netlarlinux | just tried it, the smbpasswd seems to be set already and is the same as my login pass, th0r | 08:03 |
| puff | shawnmstout: The file you want is probably /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. | 08:03 |
| shawnmstout | no configuring on that just yet | 08:03 |
| shawnmstout | ill look | 08:03 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi yeah, you have to be root to use "ip" commands | 08:03 |
| nano__ | does anybody know how i can use apt-get to get a list of programs that are maintained by apt-get? | 08:03 |
| shawnmstout | yes default is the only one | 08:03 |
| puff | shawnmstout: Check to see if there is a string like "Options FollowSymLinks" | 08:03 |
| nshuman | n6hgg: unfortunately i have no idea where my xp install disk is | 08:04 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : http://pastebin.com/m6d84f7d0 | 08:04 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: that command will restore you master boot record (MBR) back to the state it was to boot only windows | 08:04 |
| puff | nano__: "apt-cache search foo", but you should probably just use aptitude intead. | 08:04 |

| nano__ | puff: what if i don't know the pogram name that i installed.... | 08:05 |
| shawnmstout | there? | 08:05 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi, looks very close, except that the broadcast address should be 192.168.2.255 | 08:05 |
| isaacj87 | how do I leave graphical boot and view the boot up in text mode? | 08:05 |
| isaacj87 | is it alt+f4? | 08:05 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: maybe you can download a floppy file from the net. you can put it on a floppy and then put the floppy in the floppy drive of that machine, turn it on and it will boot using the floppy. you can google the rest of the instructions if it gets to that point for you. | 08:05 |
| nano__ | puff: is there a way to organize by date the packages that are managed by apt-get? | 08:06 |
| Kevin` | isaacj87 escape or alt+f1 I think. | 08:06 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi to delete the ip address.. ip addr del 192.168.2.1/24 dev eth2 | 08:06 |
| puff | nano__: "dpkg -l" to list all of the programs you installed. | 08:06 |
| nano__ | i c | 08:06 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi prefix those command with sudo so you are root when issuing those commands | 08:06 |
| shadix_ | ok what could be causing my internet connection to be sooo slow | 08:06 |
| isaacj87 | Kevin`: uh oh...lol...so what does alt+f4 do? | 08:06 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: there's some internet site for boot floppys, but it sounds like you could use restoring your master boot record if you want to get windows back and start the whole thing over. | 08:06 |
| puff | nano__: dpkg was the original tool for the stuff that apt-get and aptitude manage, they all use the same database. | 08:06 |
| puff | nano__: so you'll generally find that you need to get somewhat familiar with dpkg if things get complicate.d | 08:07 |
| nano__ | puff: i knew that but somehow i wasn't connecting the dots... | 08:07 |
| puff | nano__: Another good one to know is "dpkg -L packagename" will show you all the files that a particular package put on you rmachine. | 08:07 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : done sudo ip addr del 192.168.2.1/21 dev eth2 | 08:07 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi be quick on your response, am ready for my nap | 08:07 |
| nshuman | n6hgg: thank you.. i think ill try that. thanks again for the help | 08:07 |
| Kevin` | isaacj87 it would how terminal 4 | 08:07 |
| Kalamansi | hold on abit bulmer please... | 08:07 |
| nano__ | puff: i hate reading loooong man pages....... | 08:07 |
| Kalamansi | hehe | 08:07 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi you are mistyping /24 not /21 | 08:07 |
| isaacj87 | Kevin`: nothing damaging I hope :) | 08:08 |
| Kevin` | no. | 08:08 |
| puff | shawnmstout: Okay, look slike FollowSymLinks is enabled. Now don't ever paste into an irc channel again. | 08:08 |
| Kalamansi | sorry 24 | 08:08 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : its 24. missed type | 08:08 |
| puff | shawnmstout: use pastebin.com, or check the channel topic to see if the channel has a preferred pastebin ste. | 08:08 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : http://pastebin.com/m39068e | 08:08 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: yea, there's lot of internet info on how to restore your master boot record, usually just one command away from getting it back. It's easy if you can get a dos command line going or just research it a little. | 08:08 |
| vwhydrowv | puff http://compsol.no-ip.org | 08:08 |
| vwhydrowv | i pasted it there | 08:08 |
| n6hgg | nshuman: see ya | 08:08 |
| shadix_ | after I install Ubuntu besides doing updates is there anything else you'd recommend i do | 08:08 |
| isaacj87 | Kevin`: thanks :) | 08:08 |
| puff | nano__: No guarnatees, but you may find it useful to read my notes at http://darksleep.com/notablog/ubuntu/ubuntujournal.txt | 08:09 |
| nano__ | if i put my laptop in suspend/hibernate mode, how can i make the laptop return to linux partition after i resume, instead of going to the grub menu? | 08:09 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Cool. | 08:09 |
| shawnmstout | puff, vwhydrowv is my other nick sorry | 08:09 |
| nano__ | puff: i will book mark that asap | 08:09 |
| puff | shawnmstout: okay, just bear in mind that a lot of channels get really bent out of shape if you paste text in. | 08:09 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi okay, add it again per the command i told you earlier ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev eth2 brd+ | 08:10 |
| puff | shawnmstout: Just imagine how hard it would be to keep up in here if people were pasting! | 08:10 |
| vwhydrowv | what did i paste? | 08:10 |
| DeFii | The file rc.firewall.local is a standard IPCop file where you can enter your own iptables rules (among other things). What file in ubuntu can be used like that? | 08:10 |
| vwhydrowv | the link? | 08:10 |
| puff | shawnmstout: Okay, so second step is to create a symlink from /var/www to the drectory on your samba partition. | 08:10 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi aw heck, remember to sudo | 08:10 |
| netlarlinux | thanks th0r that worked perfectly | 08:10 |

| Kalamansi | bulmer : still no bcast... | 08:11 |
| vwhydrowv | so if /media/Drobo is the directory then i should put that in there? | 08:11 |
| nano__ | puff: you must be a big fan of lynx or other non-gui browsers, judging by your webpage | 08:11 |
| Aqua | evenin' folks | 08:11 |
| Thai | j' | 08:11 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi hmm..im surprised it is not assigning the broadcast correctly | 08:11 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi delete once more please | 08:11 |
| puff | shawnmstout: The link command is "ln", -s option for symbolic. The really confusing thing is that, unlike every other shell command that tends to be commmand from-argument to-argument, the ln command is the reverse. | 08:11 |
| puff | nano__: Heh. Nah, I keep meaning to fomrat that. My other stuff is at darksleep.com/notablog | 08:12 |
| nano__ | Aqua: more like night | 08:12 |

| Kalamansi | bulmer : add again? | 08:12 |
| nano__ | puff: i prefer vi | 08:12 |
| Thai | d | 08:12 |
| vwhydrowv | sudo ln -s /media/Drobo /var/www | 08:12 |
| puff | nano__: The journal started as just a file full of notes that I kept after I started repeatedly going "Now how the heck did I figure out how to disable hot-keys in the terminal?" | 08:12 |
| vwhydrowv | does that look correct? | 08:12 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi lets use ifconfig..but i dont remember the exact syntax..hang on | 08:12 |
| puff | nano__: Well obviously you're evil. :-) | 08:12 |
| th0r | Kalamansi you can define the broadcast address with ifconfig | 08:13 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:A1:B5:9E:2B | 08:13 |
| Kalamansi | inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255. | 08:13 |
| puff | nano__: I mean, vi vi vi == "666", QED vi is obviously The Editor Of The Beast. | 08:13 |
| Thai | l | 08:13 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : still no bcast.. ok ok | 08:13 |
| th0r | Kalamansi try ifconfig eth2 -broadcast 255.255.255.255 | 08:13 |
| DeFii | The file rc.firewall.local is a standard IPCop file where you can enter your own iptables rules (among other things). | 08:13 |
| nano__ | puff: i find having a designated folder with note files full of how to configure my laptop really useful | 08:13 |
| DeFii | What file in ubuntu can be used like that? | 08:13 |
| nano__ | puff: i never got a hold of emacs | 08:14 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi there you go, per th0r | 08:14 |
| puff | shawnmstout: so, you'll end up doing something like "ln -s /path/to/my/samba/partition/directory /var/www/mysambalink" | 08:14 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : lan@lan-desktop:~$ eth2 -broadcast 255.255.255.255 | 08:14 |
| Kalamansi | bash: eth2: command not found | 08:14 |

| nano__ | if i put my laptop in suspend/hibernate mode, how can i make the laptop return to linux partition after i resume, instead of going to the grub menu? | 08:14 |
| puff | nano__: Emacs is a religious experience. | 08:14 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : bulmer : thats the result | 08:14 |
| puff | nano__: Lucky you, emacs has a vi-mode. Just run emacs on a file and then esc-x<space>vi-mode<enter> | 08:14 |
| th0r | Kalamansi you forgot the command .... 'ifconfig eth2 -bro.....' | 08:14 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi you are not reading right.. | 08:14 |
| puff | shawnmstout: you will probably need to do that ln command via sudo. | 08:15 |
| Kalamansi | sorry bulmer i was in a hurry coz you are sleepy | 08:15 |
| nano__ | puff: i guess emacs > vi, but as i remember it, vi has always been more of a durable program....ie. always required less system requirements | 08:15 |
| vwhydrowv | ok let me see if it created it | 08:15 |

| scguy318 | chuy: sorta | 08:21 |
| neopsyche | Is there another way to change the file permissions? | 08:21 |
| th0r | Kalamansi there you go...at least as far as the broadcast goes | 08:21 |

| mkquist | chuy - read similar and that was the last i found on it, that it wasn't a 'ubuntu' problem, more of a ubuntu's defaults are not to change anything, which could cause the stock settings to harm the hdd | 08:23 |
| vwhydrowv | so puff, what did i need to add to the default file again? | 08:23 |
| th0r | Kalamansi in 192.168.2.1 run 'watch ifconfig'. Then start the ping from pc2 and see if the RX packets count increases | 08:23 |

| vwhydrowv | oh sorry | 08:25 |
| th0r | bulmer I have worked a lot with ifconfig, but only recently discovered 'ip'. But I haven't had much success using it...so fall back on ifconfig | 08:26 |
| vwhydrowv | ill still with this one | 08:26 |
| xenthro | hi. When I used the livecd, my graphics card (ati1650pro) displayed fine on my tv, but after I installed onto HD, the settings changed and my tv flickers without giving me an image. how do I tell ubuntu to use the same settings as the default ones on the livecd? | 08:26 |
| vwhydrowv | ok, so its still not showing up under http://compsol.no-ip.org | 08:26 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : 192.168.2.2 | 08:26 |
| bulmer | th0r yeah iproute2 tools is a bit weird sometimes | 08:26 |
| vwhydrowv | but locally it is | 08:26 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer : and default gateway is 192.168.2.1 | 08:26 |
| AK-WIN | did it work? | 08:26 |
| puff | th0r: one gotcha to watch out for is that ifconfig and the shortcuts ifup/ifdown use different state files, so if you take an interface down with ifdown and then back up with ifconfig, then ifdown won't work because it iwll think the interface is already down. | 08:26 |

| puff | And look at what it says about that file. | 08:29 |
| bulmer | Kalamansi as root again.. these require root access | 08:29 |
| scguy318 | chuy: probably by looking at the load_cycle_count I guess | 08:30 |
| vwhydrowv | ok | 08:30 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Here's the secret, and it's part of why technical people generally don't like windows - GUIs can lie to you. | 08:30 |

| Kalamansi | bulmer see you later - i hope | 08:39 |
| deostroll | th0r: No. It 2.0. something I am installing... | 08:39 |
| vwhydrowv | wierd, no such file or directory | 08:40 |
| th0r | deostroll ok....well...you would be better off sticking with the latest upgrades via synaptic...are you sure you want to bypass that? | 08:40 |
| neeto | I'm trying to install azureus with an install script, and under PROGRAM_DIR I have "/home/mike/apps/azureus" but it says it's not a proper directory | 08:40 |
| chuy | does anyone know if radeon x700 has a thermometer, and if I can read temperature in linux? | 08:40 |
| XiXaQ | how do I choose which audio device firefox should use? | 08:40 |
| Kevin` | http://kwzs.be/~kevin/dependency.txt - is this telling me what I think it's telling me? that EVERYTHING depends on having the stock ubuntu kernel installed? | 08:40 |
| deostroll | ht0r: yeah, but doesn't my os version matter in that regard? I use breezy Ubuntu 5.10 :) | 08:40 |
| neopsyche | How do i check what ports are being used on my system? | 08:41 |
| vwhydrowv | its coming back no such file or directory | 08:41 |
| ruru | after you put in smbpasswd do you have restart anything for it to work when networking | 08:41 |

| PurpZeY | neopsyche: netstat | 08:41 |
| neopsyche | thanks | 08:41 |

| boinker | me a simple solution to install this god damn flash plugin into this damn ubuntu 7.10 | 08:41 |
| th0r | deostroll ok...yeah...they probably aren't supporting that anymore. OK...no problem. first step is to uninstall the old firefox. Can you do that via synaptic? | 08:41 |
| ljsmithx | is there a python script irc channel? | 08:41 |
| PurpZeY | ljsmithx: #python | 08:42 |

| boinker | can someone please help me...does anyone know a simple way to install this damn flash plugin now thats its all bugged is there another method besides gnash is there an older deb i could use? if so WHERE!!??? | 08:42 |
| Kevin` | anyone? | 08:42 |
| deostroll | th0r: or do I have to uninstall? | 08:42 |
| vwhydrowv | puff, said no such file or directory | 08:42 |
| vwhydrowv | when i tried it | 08:42 |
| th0r | deostroll yeah...you should uninstall the old firefox before putting in the new one...just to keep them from crossing each other up | 08:43 |
| boinker | i guess i must be the only one on planet earth whos had this problem with flash not working | 08:43 |
| astro76 | !flash | boinker | 08:43 |
| ubotu | boinker: 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 | 08:43 |
| 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. | 08:43 |
| deostroll | th0r: can't I just move the old one to a different location? | 08:43 |
| vwhydrowv | puff, i tried both chmod and /ugo+w | 08:43 |
| th0r | deostroll we can leave the old one in place, but things might get confusing if we do | 08:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | the flash problem still isn't fixed?.. hmm. | 08:43 |
| th0r | deostroll up to you...want the next step? | 08:44 |
| lonetree | Hi guys | 08:44 |
| deostroll | th0r: ok, what if something goes wrong? | 08:44 |

| astro76 | Kevin`, ubuntu-desktop and -standard are meta-packages, they can be removed without removing their dependencies | 08:44 |
| th0r | deostroll ok....let's do this..... | 08:44 |
| lonetree | Is anyone having problem with pptp in ubuntu 7.10? | 08:44 |

| PurpZeY | xenthro: you don't get grub menu? | 08:45 |
| astro76 | !flash64 | Lichte | 08:45 |
| ubotu | Lichte: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 08:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Lichte: i believe you'll have to install a 32bit browser on your system. | 08:45 |
| th0r | deostroll no problem....just be aware things might get a little confusing later. | 08:45 |
| lonetree | Is anyone having problem with pptp in ubuntu 7.10? | 08:45 |
| nano__ | hi guys, i tried to remove bittorrent-python package via synaptic packet manager; however, i get the warning that "ubuntu-desktop" will also be uninstalled......? | 08:45 |
| Lichte | IndyGunFreak: ok | 08:45 |
| xenthro | PurpZeY i get a menu, but none that says that it will boot in safe graphics | 08:45 |
| astro76 | Kevin`, the rest depend on the installed kernel version | 08:45 |
| PurpZeY | nano_: This is A-OK, it is just a metapackage | 08:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | nano__: its just a meta package, its fine... | 08:45 |
| PurpZeY | xenthro: One of them is not safemode? | 08:46 |

| nvictor | I get this: svn: PROPFIND of '/svn-ce/patronale': 405 Method Not Allowed (http://repository.conceptive.be) | 08:46 |
| xenthro | PurpZeY but that does not start all the system processes | 08:46 |
| PurpZeY | xenthro: That would be it.....Otherwise, you gotta use the LiveCD. | 08:46 |
| vwhydrowv | ok, said no file or directory | 08:46 |
| nano__ | will do | 08:46 |
| nano__ | thanks guys!!! | 08:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | nvictor: so why not just installi t from the repos? | 08:46 |

| th0r | deostroll ok...you run gnome or kde? | 08:46 |
| xenthro | PurpZeY is there grub code I can edit so that it starts ubuntu in a certain way? | 08:47 |
| nvictor | IndyGunFreak: I'm a newbie to svn | 08:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | nano__: just so you know, you'll get that message on almost every program y9ou ever uninstall. | 08:47 |
| lonetree | I am sorry to interrupt in this conversation, I would like to if anyone has experience in configuring a pptp server on ubuntu 7.10 | 08:47 |
| nvictor | IndyGunFreak: I want to list what are in the repository | 08:47 |
| deostroll | th0r: that should be /home/ubuntu/Desktop/firefox. Yeah GNOME is my desktop. | 08:47 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: hm, well cd /media and ls -al, see what it says | 08:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | lonetree: just ask your uestion, if we can help, we will. | 08:47 |
| th0r | deostroll ok...open a nautilus window and get to the /opt directory | 08:47 |
| PurpZeY | xenthro: That is beyond me, I maybe missing something ask the channel again | 08:47 |
| nano__ | IndyGunFreak: it was my first time receiving that and i was kinda freaking out | 08:47 |
| nano__ | thnx though | 08:47 |
| sigra | after restarting samba does it take long time before they servers show up again on browser and is there anyway speed that up | 08:47 |
| lonetree | Thanks IndyGunFreak | 08:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | nano__: naa, i bet you've gotten it before, and proably just didn't realize it. | 08:48 |
| deostroll | th0r:okay... | 08:48 |
| nano__ | IndyGunFreak: im new to Ubuntu | 08:48 |
| lonetree | I am having a constant 2.5 mins disconnection on my pptp server | 08:48 |
| vwhydrowv | only has dr x on it | 08:48 |
| neeto | I am installing azureus with a script, and if I run the script, the program will start, but it doesn't seem to be installed anywhere... how to I install it? | 08:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | nano__: oh ok, so maybe it was the first time.. :) | 08:48 |
| vwhydrowv | ill paste it with the other sn | 08:48 |
| lonetree | I don't know why | 08:48 |
| nano__ | btw, Kubuntu sucks....its so horribly packaged! | 08:48 |
| th0r | deostroll ok...if you extracted the file there should be a folder on your desktop called firefox, right? | 08:48 |
| xenthro | PurpZeY odd... i fixed it. i hit ctral alt F1 and instead of giving me a terminal it game me a functional screen | 08:48 |
| lonetree | i was able to get it running with no prob in 6.06 | 08:48 |
| shawnmstout | dr-x------ 1 shawnmstout shawnmstout 184320 2008-01-05 00:24 Drobo | 08:48 |
| Kevin` | ~. | 08:48 |
| Kevin` | ass | 08:48 |
| PurpZeY | xenthro: Yes, that is a virtual terminal | 08:48 |
| deostroll | th0r: yup, there is a folder called firefox. | 08:48 |
| Kevin` | eep | 08:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | !enter | lonetree there's like 1200 people so | 08:49 |
| ubotu | lonetree there's like 1200 people so: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 08:49 |
| th0r | deostroll drag that folder into the nautilus window | 08:49 |
| PurpZeY | neopsyche: I don't know what your question about this is....seems like there's a lot of connections | 08:49 |
| neopsyche | yeah | 08:49 |
| Kevin` | astro76 so removing that should be safe | 08:49 |
| neopsyche | from other websites? | 08:49 |
| vwhydrowv | any ideas? | 08:49 |
| Kevin` | (irc client got.. messed up) | 08:49 |
| neopsyche | Can someone help me understand how to make torrent tunnel through ssh | 08:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | nano__: i don't know if its horribly packaged, but KDE seems to be the GUI of choice for some reason, but I hate it.. | 08:49 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : how to connect pc2 by just obtain or dhcp to the server? not just assigning an ip address to pc2 and dns....just dhpc pc2 | 08:49 |
| deostroll | th0r: I cannot. I should do this via terminal I guess...but I am weak at command line. | 08:50 |
| astro76 | Kevin`, not necessarily, why are you removing the kernel? | 08:50 |
| neopsyche | PurpZeY: Im getting timeouts on torrents | 08:50 |
| nvictor | so how do I list the content of a svn repository? | 08:50 |
| topicks | IndyGunFreak: its too bloated. i love xfce | 08:50 |
| bqmassey | anyone familiar with RSSOwl? | 08:50 |
| th0r | deostroll right...just realized you need root access...no problem. | 08:50 |
| khermans | neopsyche, ssh -L ? | 08:50 |
| Kevin` | astro76 because it wont work on this device and the installer for it is causing problems | 08:50 |
| th0r | deostroll open a terminal | 08:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | topicks: thats my problem w/ KDE also.. I really like Gnome, Xfce is a close second... I'd buy a Mac before I got stuck w/ KDE | 08:50 |
| nano__ | IndyGunFreak: i prefer kde coming from a fedora background, i installed Kbuntu, and a lot of important kde packages were not installed ! | 08:50 |
| deostroll | th0r: terminal opened. | 08:51 |
| astro76 | Kevin`, what device? installer for it? | 08:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | nano__: i used Gnome w/ Fedora | 08:51 |
| neopsyche | khermans: im a noob at this, what does ssh -L do? | 08:51 |
| Jangari | trying to run emulators with xmame, except all show up as not found, even those that i've downloaded and installed in my roms folder. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong? | 08:51 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Well yeah, look at you rperms, Drobo is user-readable but not group-readable or world-readable. | 08:51 |
| nano__ | IndyGunFreak: you don't use ubuntu? | 08:51 |
| Kevin` | astro76 the script that runs when the kernel image is installed, I mean | 08:51 |
| topicks | Gnome freezes too much of my POS computer | 08:51 |
| Kevin` | astro76 olpc | 08:51 |
| topicks | s/of/on/ | 08:51 |
| puff | neopsyche: Port-forwarding. | 08:51 |
| khermans | neopsyche, man ssh | 08:51 |
| nano__ | I would like to use fedora but the ubuntu support community is much larger so i stick with ubuntu | 08:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | nano__: yes, Ubuntu and Debian.. but I cut my teeth on Linux w/ Fedora.. several years ago. Fedora 5 was the last version I had | 08:51 |
| vwhydrowv | so what do i need to set it as? | 08:51 |
| khermans | nano__, you can also buy support from canonical | 08:52 |
| th0r | deostroll ok...type 'cd /opt' | 08:52 |
| astro76 | Kevin`, ah well, sounds like you have some work no matter what ;) | 08:52 |
| topicks | i used red hat back in the day. once i learned about debian i never looked back | 08:52 |
| th0r | deostroll that should move you into the /opt directory | 08:52 |
| nano__ | khermans: buying doesn't sound too attractive | 08:52 |
| deostroll | th0r: I typed sudo mv /home/ubuntu/Desktop/firefox /opt | 08:52 |
| neopsyche | thanks khermans | 08:52 |
| topicks | apt == good, rpm == evil | 08:52 |
| nano__ | khermans: but yes im aware of that | 08:52 |
| khermans | neopsyche, np | 08:52 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Well, if you want to serve it via apache, you want people to be able to read it, right? | 08:52 |
| th0r | deostroll ok...that will work | 08:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | topicks: same here, Debian just kills RH.. although fedora holds a special spot in my heart | 08:52 |
| vwhydrowv | yes | 08:53 |
| th0r | deostroll thought you said you didn't know command line <smile> | 08:53 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: "chmod ugo+w ./Drobo" | 08:53 |
| Kevin` | astro76 oh, it's running right now actually. still some more stuff to do but I needed to fix the error with updating first :) | 08:53 |
| astro76 | Kevin`, well if you remove the kernel it won't be running for long | 08:53 |
| deostroll | th0r: yeah sometimes I surprise myself too. :) | 08:53 |
| topicks | yum isn't too bad. i use centos for my server | 08:53 |
| ompaul | is this #ubuntu-offtopic? | 08:53 |
| th0r | deostroll now...if you type '/opt/firefox/firefox' it should run the new firefox | 08:53 |
| ompaul | ;-) | 08:53 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: If that doesn't work, then we might be getting into arcane samba territory here, Idkanow, it might be you have to mess with samba configs or something to change the perms. | 08:53 |
| Kevin` | astro76 yeah, | 08:53 |
| Kalamansi | hello when i tried to run firestarter it say "failed to start the firewall the device eth0 is not ready" but im connected to the net and so with pc2...please help... i just want to block some sites who kills bandwidth like youtube and other video streaming online... thanks | 08:53 |
| Kevin` | astro76 yeah, I know =p | 08:53 |
| topicks | thats what OS this computer is running | 08:53 |
| deostroll | th0r: wait...checking. | 08:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | topicks: yeah, Yum isn't bad, but its not worth to hold apt-get's jockstrap | 08:53 |

| shawnmstout | keeps coming back no such file or directory | 08:54 |
| deostroll | th0r: it says I should close a prev instance... | 08:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Kalamansi: do you have a router? that would be an easy way to do that. | 08:54 |
| th0r | deostroll do you have firefox running? | 08:55 |
| deostroll | th0r: yeah. | 08:55 |
| Kalamansi | firestarter users please i need help.. firestarter failed to start firewall the device eth0 is not ready... tho server pc1 is connected to the net and pc2 too | 08:55 |
| th0r | deostroll yeah...you need to shut it down then type the command and see if th enew one comes up | 08:55 |
| deostroll | th0r: I am closing that...and running it again. | 08:55 |
| Kalamansi | IndyGunFreak : i dont have router. modem>server ubuntu>switch>pc2 | 08:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | oh ok. | 08:55 |
| deostroll | th0r: ok this seems to be the latest version... | 08:56 |
| th0r | deostroll ok...now there is one small problem | 08:56 |
| Kalamansi | anybody here expert in firestarter or dansguardian? or which ever is cool to use for blocking website like online video streaming and traffic shaping please? | 08:57 |
| th0r | deostroll if you just type 'firefox' you will probably get the old version, and if you try from the menu you will probably get the old one...give them a go and see what happens. If it is a problem, we will fix it | 08:57 |
| mcquaid | with the latest Flash Player 9 Update 3 (Final), ver 9,0,115,0, adobe says this provides hardware accelerated fullscreen support for linux? | 08:57 |
| mcquaid | Does anyone actually get hardware scaling working? It's always been choppy for me. | 08:57 |
| deostroll | th0r: yes I know... | 08:57 |
| mcquaid | I thought they'd solve it before it was out of beta, but I've always had this issue | 08:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | !firestarter | Kalamansi maybe this will help | 08:57 |
| ubotu | Kalamansi maybe this will help: 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). | 08:57 |
| Kevin` | mcquaid with just flash or with any application | 08:58 |
| mcquaid | xv works fine with everything else, just flash | 08:58 |
| deostroll | th0r: what to do now? | 08:58 |
| mcquaid | Kevin`, only flash | 08:58 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: What happened? | 08:58 |
| th0r | deostroll fairly simple...first...type 'which firefox' and see what it says. I think it will respond /usr/bin/firefox | 08:58 |
| mcquaid | Kevin`, actually even flv plays accelerated in mplayer, so to be more correct only playing embedded video using adobe's plugin | 08:58 |

| puff | vwhydrowv: joy... | 09:00 |
| ompaul | bqmassey, why ? ;-) | 09:00 |

| vwhydrowv | i did | 09:01 |
| th0r | deostroll sorry you need to sudo that command | 09:01 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: if that doesn't work,then it's some arcane samba thing. | 09:01 |
| vwhydrowv | it says no such file or directory | 09:01 |
| mcquaid | has anyone here installed the latest flash released in december? | 09:01 |

| th0r | deostroll then type 'sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox' | 09:01 |

| vwhydrowv | too much data | 09:02 |
| vwhydrowv | 850gb | 09:02 |
| deostroll | th0r: whats that command for? | 09:02 |
| astro76 | th0r, deostroll hmm if you just make the link in /usr/local/bin it will override what's in /usr/bin | 09:02 |
| ompaul | detectiveinspekt, sudo mii-tool | 09:02 |
| th0r | astro76 that depends on the order in PATH....which comes first | 09:03 |
| astro76 | th0r, I'm talking about Ubuntu's path setup | 09:03 |
| th0r | deostroll it creates a link in /usr/bin to the firefox executable...sort of a 'shortcut' (sorry Linus) | 09:03 |
| vwhydrowv | can anyone help me with this | 09:03 |
| vwhydrowv | i have read only access to a drive | 09:04 |
| deostroll | th0r: lemme go check nautilus... | 09:04 |
| th0r | astro76 I understand...but if the default is changed for some reason....then /usr/bin might come first | 09:04 |

| ompaul | detectiveinspekt, did you do sudo ? | 09:04 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Hm, well I don't know beans about samba. | 09:04 |
| detectiveinspekt | im using onboard nforce2 ethernet drivers supposed "reversed engineerir drivers" | 09:04 |
| detectiveinspekt | yer | 09:04 |
| vwhydrowv | but thats set locally though also | 09:05 |
| vwhydrowv | not just samba | 09:05 |
| topicks | MII reminds me of Wii characters | 09:05 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Maybe look at how you mounted the partition, see if there's anywhere in the process where you did (or could) specificy read perms. | 09:05 |
| ompaul | detectiveinspekt, well I never came across a case where that mii-tool did not work except where the card was (A) not in place and (B) not supported | 09:05 |

| th0r | deostroll if you do 'ls -l /usr/bin/firefox' you should see it pointing to /opt/firefox/firefox | 09:07 |

| th0r | deostroll did you remember to use sudo to do the mv? | 09:08 |
| deostroll | th0r: I am in /usr/bin | 09:08 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: There's a command, "dmesg" that displays a log of a bunch of hardware related issues. Check that for messages about your usb drive. If necessary, disconnect and reconnect it and check dmesg again. | 09:08 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: odds are you'll see a message in there about it mounting the usb drive read-only for some reason. | 09:08 |
| ompaul | detectiveinspekt, dmesg | grep ethN << where N is the interface number | 09:08 |
| th0r | deostroll in /usr/bin do you see both firefox and firefox.old? | 09:09 |
| vwhydrowv | ok | 09:09 |

| vwhydrowv | restarting now | 09:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jeah: :) | 09:11 |
| th0r | deostroll right...it is pointing to /opt/firefox/firefox | 09:11 |
| jasmeen | now what to do for that | 09:11 |
| neopsyche | Can someone please talk me through using torrents through ssh tunnel? | 09:11 |

| IndyGunFreak | jasmeen: what kind of modem is it? | 09:12 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Hm, that's not good. | 09:12 |
| th0r | deostroll right...in the terminal type 'echo $PATH' | 09:12 |
| vwhydrowv | that fixed it | 09:12 |

| tuntun | Hi... How do i extract a file do its originaly location using archive manager? | 09:13 |
| th0r | deostroll when you type 'firefox' in the terminal the system goes through the path directories in order looking for firefox. You will see that /opt is not in the path. So we needed to create a link somewhere in the path so tye system could find firefox | 09:13 |
| deostroll | th0r: which dir should I be in at the moment? | 09:14 |
| neopsyche | can someone please help me with bittorrent? | 09:14 |
| th0r | deostroll doesn't matter | 09:14 |
| deostroll | th0r: what does path do? | 09:14 |
| ompaul | !repeat | neopsyche | 09:14 |
| ubotu | neopsyche: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 09:14 |
| deostroll | th0r: *hold | 09:14 |
| th0r | deostroll read the long entry above <smile> | 09:14 |
| tuntun | How do i extract a file do its originaly location using archive manager? | 09:14 |
| ompaul | detectiveinspekt, how big are the files you are transferring? | 09:15 |
| detectiveinspekt | 700MB | 09:15 |
| detectiveinspekt | all of them | 09:15 |
| detectiveinspekt | about 80 | 09:16 |
| jasmeen | and just now i installed kubuntu in my system so how can i connect that modem with kubuntu | 09:16 |
| vwhydrowv | wait, i think i know what it is | 09:16 |
| vwhydrowv | because its ntfs system, its read only | 09:16 |
| puff | Ah, that's what I was suspecting. | 09:16 |
| ompaul | detectiveinspekt, so what I think is that you have to do some work on your mtu and or check your wiring and make sure the network is not being used for anything else | 09:16 |
| deostroll | I am in /usr/bin now and I did echo $PATH I got something huge. Do u want me to paste it here | 09:16 |
| neopsyche | doesn anyone here know how to get an ssh shell account? | 09:16 |
| jasmeen | without internet i cant download drivers also | 09:16 |
| AK-WIN | meeeeee | 09:16 |
| th0r | deostroll no need (and never paste into irc...use pastebin) | 09:16 |
| vwhydrowv | anyway to have read/write access? | 09:16 |
| th0r | deostroll it should be just a list of folders separated by colons | 09:17 |
| deostroll | th0r: that makes sense. | 09:17 |
| detectiveinspekt | ok thank you v much, ill see into the mtu stuff | 09:17 |

| deostroll | th0r: PATH does not show links. | 09:19 |

| deostroll | th0r: so we created one. | 09:20 |
| tuntun | How do i extract a file to its original location with archive manager? | 09:20 |
| deostroll | th0r: I am a little slow. I hope you are patient. | 09:20 |
| tuntun | :| | 09:20 |
| th0r | deostroll let's assume for a moment that the ONLY firefox on your hard drive is in /opt/firefox. Now, you click on the menu or type 'firefox' in the terminal and the system goes to the first dir in the path looking for firefox | 09:20 |
| vwhydrowv | installing | 09:20 |
| th0r | deostroll but it doesn't find it. So it goes to the second dir in the path, and then the third and so on. And notice, the directory /opt/firefox is NOT in the path...so the system will never look there and will never find it. | 09:21 |
| Grammaticus | The answer is probably 'no', but does anyone here use dial-up? | 09:21 |
| vwhydrowv | couldnt find any package ntfs-config | 09:22 |
| tuntun | can i extract a file to its original location with archive manager? | 09:22 |
| th0r | deostroll but now...with the link....when it looks in /usr/bin (which IS in the path) the system finds 'firefox'...and that firefox says 'go to /opt/firefox/firefox' | 09:22 |
| deostroll | th0r: clear. ! | 09:22 |
| sigra | i have my computer in no login but up mode..but its hanging at the screen where brown and about log into desktop..is there way to turn off auto login | 09:23 |
| th0r | deostroll good...there will be a test later | 09:23 |
| deostroll | th0r: OMG. | 09:23 |
| th0r | deostroll so now...check and make sure if you click on firefox in the menu you get the new one | 09:23 |
| deostroll | th0r: whtz the prize?! | 09:23 |
| deostroll | th0r: firefox is good. | 09:24 |
| th0r | deostroll the prize will be comensurate with the salary of the teacher | 09:24 |

| khermans | chazco, sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-new ? | 09:30 |
| khermans | matholum, then the permissions shouldn't matter | 09:30 |
| khermans | matholum, man mount, check out the umask option | 09:30 |
| chazco | khermans - If thats the package and thats all it does then thats perfect (I use apt-get, but easy to modify) :) | 09:30 |
| matholum | @_@ but.... i can't do anything | 09:30 |
| astro76 | Grammaticus, ok then really not sure what the problem is, did the dialup howto link that ubotu gave you not help? | 09:30 |
| khermans | chazco, restricted-drivers-manager auto detrmines the appropriate driver | 09:31 |
| matholum | khermans> what do you mean.. i have never done that before | 09:31 |
| khermans | chazco, i am not sure you need -new or not | 09:31 |
| dell_lin | how to install a driver from source and install it | 09:31 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: enter "lsb_release -a" | 09:31 |
| matholum | i get unmount... | 09:31 |
| Grammaticus | astro76, I've been there reading but, according to the site : '... built into motherboard. Most of these are not supported under Linux, yet quite a few work after extensive tweaking or purchasing drivers.' | 09:31 |
| chazco | Ah... that makes it more complicated... trying to build a restore script | 09:31 |
| * chazco looks at the apt-cache | 09:31 | |
| khermans | dell_lin, download it, run the installler | 09:32 |
| dell_lin | installer ? | 09:32 |
| dell_lin | how | 09:32 |
| ab434435 | !persistent | 09:32 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about persistent - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:32 |
| khermans | chazco, restore script? | 09:32 |
| astro76 | Grammaticus, try lspci | 09:32 |
| ab434435 | !livepersistent | 09:32 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about livepersistent - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:32 |
| khermans | chazco, you know about dpkg --get-selections ? | 09:32 |
| chazco | khermans - After a fresh install I run it and it reinstalls everything and configures stuff | 09:32 |
| vwhydrowv | ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS | 09:32 |
| Cubexombi | I've just installed a dual boot 7.10/7.10 with a separate /home partition, though when ever I start into the build I installed first I have to manually mount the /dev/hda3 /home partion in order to continue.. everything works great past that though.. any idea? | 09:32 |
| chazco | According to apt i have the -new version of nvidia khermans | 09:33 |
| dell_lin | i have .c files (source files ) | 09:33 |
| khermans | chazco, dpkg --set/get-selections | 09:33 |
| khermans | dell_lin, make? | 09:33 |
| chazco | ? | 09:33 |
| khermans | chazco, man dpkg | 09:33 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: codename? | 09:33 |
| tuntun | how do i disable the login window after resuming from suspend? | 09:33 |
| chazco | I mean what do you want me to do with it? I can find out which packages I have from synaptic... | 09:34 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: That may be the issue, you might need feisty to get ntfs-config. | 09:34 |
| momal | Hey I am wondering if there is a website or something that lists applications for ubuntu that currently dont have a 64bit version. | 09:34 |
| Grammaticus | astrp76, lspci? | 09:34 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: why are you running server version? | 09:34 |
| momal | or a method to get them to work on x64 | 09:34 |
| vwhydrowv | dapper | 09:34 |
| astro76 | Grammaticus, to list your hardware | 09:34 |
| dell_lin | ok | 09:34 |
| vwhydrowv | because i set this up for a server | 09:34 |
| Grammaticus | astro76, Ah, thank you. | 09:34 |
| matholum | khermans> awesome... thanks to your proper wording i think i found a good page to help me out.... i'll let you know if it works | 09:34 |
| vwhydrowv | but i guess that didnt matter considering i added on the gui | 09:34 |
| khermans | chazco, you use it to capture and set your installed packages | 09:34 |
| khermans | matholum, np | 09:35 |
| astro76 | Grammaticus, also lshw | 09:35 |
| chazco | Ah... its not just stuff like that though | 09:35 |
| Grammaticus | astro76, No wait -- I would like something for Windows for the time being. | 09:35 |
| chazco | Theres a lot of configuring I always have to do... TV card for a start and a few others | 09:35 |
| matholum | (i just didn't know what i was looking for i guess... ^_^) | 09:35 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Well, idkanow what to say here, 6.06 is dapper, it doesn't have ntfs-config available. hm. | 09:35 |
| tuntun | how do i disable the login window after resuming from suspend? Can't seem to find the option... | 09:35 |
| Grammaticus | astro76, So that I could glean all of the information here without rebooting. | 09:35 |
| khermans | chazco, backup your /etc/ and /home folders then | 09:35 |
| astro76 | Grammaticus, I think there's a hardware control panel, but ask in #windows | 09:35 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: It sounds like you want to upgrade your box to ubuntu feisty. | 09:35 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Or higher. | 09:36 |
| Cubexombi | can someone help me get my /hd3 partition to automount on boot, it contains my /home dir, | 09:36 |
| topicks | gibbon! | 09:36 |
| chazco | khermans - Still not ideal (although /home is separate anyway, but I tend to clear out folders)... This way works well, except for the nvidia driver. | 09:36 |
| astro76 | Grammaticus, http://www.gtopala.com/ | 09:36 |
| vwhydrowv | ok, is there a way to do that without starting over? | 09:36 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: http://lunapark6.com/ntfs-3g-read-write-ntfs-drives-on-your-linux-box.html | 09:36 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Yeah, you can add the repository in that tutorial to your apt sources. | 09:37 |
| khermans | chazco, then just /etc | 09:37 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: This is not an entirely scary thing to do, but it does take you on the road less traveled. | 09:37 |
| Grammaticus | astro76, I remember the name of the programme now : Sandra | 09:37 |
| khermans | chazco, you can tar it up and restore only the files you need | 09:37 |
| vwhydrowv | that alone sounds scary, lol | 09:37 |
| astro76 | Cubexombi, from the system with separate /home, copy the home entry from /etc/fstab to the other system's fstab, then delete the contents of the other systems /home | 09:38 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Well it's not a "safe" thing to do but its | 09:38 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Well it's not a "safe" thing to do but it's not insane, either. | 09:38 |
| tuntun | how do i disable the login window after resuming from suspend? I Can't find the option... | 09:38 |
| astro76 | Cubexombi, not sure why you want to run two 7.10s with one /home though | 09:38 |
| astro76 | Grammaticus, the one I linked is good | 09:38 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Especially consdiering they added ntfs-3 to the main apt repos for later versions. | 09:38 |
| khermans | vwhydrowv, sudo sed -i "s/dapper/gutsy/g" /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 09:38 |
| Grammaticus | astro76, I shall attempt to use both. | 09:38 |
| bullgard4 | What does 'cgen' stand for, for example in http://sourceware.org/cgen/gen-doc/frv-2.html? | 09:39 |
| Grammaticus | This will take some time... | 09:39 |
| Cubexombi | astro76, 2 reasons, 1, I'm a bit lazy and kinda tired of having to reconfigure things, and the second is that I came in here earlier and some one suggested it . | 09:39 |
| Grammaticus | astro76, Thank you -- it is much appreciated. Perhaps I will return on Ubuntu if I figure this out. | 09:39 |
| matholum | khermans> what are the values of umask for? what do they mean? | 09:40 |
| vwhydrowv | khermans, thanks | 09:40 |
| khermans | vwhydrowv, np | 09:40 |
| vwhydrowv | came back update command takes no arguments | 09:41 |
| astro76 | Cubexombi, how does it help, what was the problem? | 09:41 |
| khermans | vwhydrowv, you must have typed it wrong | 09:41 |
| vwhydrowv | yup, i put sudo before it | 09:41 |
| khermans | !umask | matholum | 09:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about umask - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:42 |
| tuntun | how do i disable the login window after resuming from suspend? I Can't find the option... | 09:42 |
| vwhydrowv | couldnt open temorary file /etc/apt//sedBecka1 | 09:42 |
| vwhydrowv | 1 sec | 09:42 |
| khermans | vwhydrowv, you typed it wrong | 09:42 |
| vwhydrowv | must of did something else wrong | 09:42 |
| khermans | vwhydrowv, just copy and past | 09:42 |
| Cubexombi | astro76, i kinda want to keep the /home info from the other user on there, I'm using the second install as a platorm for remastering the live CD into a USB drive, it works fine for that reason, though, as i said someone just suggested it as a good idea due to my space restraints. | 09:42 |
| vwhydrowv | ok | 09:43 |
| vwhydrowv | i cant though, different computer | 09:43 |
| vwhydrowv | 1 sec, let me log into that one | 09:43 |
| khermans | vwhydrowv, use ssh if you must | 09:43 |
| vwhydrowv | im pretty new man, how do i do that | 09:43 |
| khermans | !ssh | vwhydrowv | 09:44 |
| ubotu | vwhydrowv: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 09:44 |
| shadix | ok i got it thanks | 09:44 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: whoa. | 09:45 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: What khermans is suggesting is essentially wholesale upgrading your box to gutsy (you're on dapper, next is feisty, after that gutsy). If that's what you want to do, then go for it. | 09:46 |
| vwhydrowv | got it | 09:46 |
| khermans | vwhydrowv, you can also try --> sudo do-release-upgrade | 09:46 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Actually I'd generally recommend upgrading, if you can deal with it, rather than selectively installing ntfs-3g. | 09:46 |
| khermans | vwhydrowv, but i dont think dapper has that feature | 09:46 |
| tuntun | how do i disable the login window after resuming from suspend? | 09:46 |
| Cubexombi | astro76, I'm going for a reboot after coping the fstab over to the problematic install, we'll see how this goes | 09:46 |
| vwhydrowv | i should wait for this to install first right? | 09:46 |
| puff | khermans: Back when, I was told that it was a Bad Idea to upgrade by skipping over a version. | 09:47 |
| puff | khermans: Is that not true for dapper->feisty->gutzy? | 09:47 |
| khermans | tuntun, is there something in /etc/acpi/ ? | 09:47 |
| khermans | puff, yeah -- it could be -- but it seemed like he wanted to do it | 09:47 |
| khermans | puff, i have done it without issues | 09:47 |
| tuntun | khermans: plenty of things. | 09:48 |
| khermans | puff, i even have gone from debian -> ubuntu this way | 09:48 |
| puff | khermans: Heh. | 09:48 |
| puff | cool by me. | 09:48 |
| khermans | :-p | 09:48 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: I've gotta hit the sack, good luck. | 09:48 |
| vwhydrowv | if i have issues, i can always just redoe the computer, i hate to make the whole day a waste though | 09:48 |
| vwhydrowv | considering its almost 5am | 09:48 |
| khermans | tuntun, check the suspend script? | 09:48 |
| vwhydrowv | ok thanks puff | 09:48 |
| vwhydrowv | for everything man | 09:48 |
| vwhydrowv | i really appreciate it | 09:48 |
| vwhydrowv | i gotta go take a break myself while this is upgrading | 09:49 |

| tuntun | khermans: whats it called? | 09:49 |
| ___ | i have this machine, that has a single cpu. top shows a load average of 2 and 35% idle time. how can that be? if on average 2 processes are waiting to be executed, how can the machine have 35% idle time? | 09:49 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: One thing before I go... hopefully drobo is better about this than my laCie drive; somebody was using the laCie drive on windows and didn't do a 'safely unmount USB drive' before shutting down windows, which left the laCie drive in a problem state. | 09:49 |
| vwhydrowv | puff, dude | 09:49 |
| vwhydrowv | lacie sucks ass man, backup asap | 09:49 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: It ended up being simplest to just plug the laCie drive into a winbox and do the 'safely unmount' thing. | 09:49 |
| vwhydrowv | thats why i have a drobo now | 09:50 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Ooookay. | 09:50 |
| vwhydrowv | how many power supplies have u replaced? | 09:50 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: good to know :-). | 09:50 |
| vwhydrowv | the i/o boards go out also and they wont let you buy one if its out of warranty | 09:50 |
| khermans | tuntun, check out /etc/acpi/sleep.sh | 09:50 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: On the laCies? None. Then again, I have four of them. | 09:50 |
| Ayabara | is debs for the latest FF3.0 beta somewhere to be found? | 09:50 |
| vwhydrowv | they dont even know who makes the chips on there i/o board | 09:50 |
| vwhydrowv | total nightmare | 09:50 |
| puff | vwhydrowv: Thanks for the tip. How much is the drobo? | 09:50 |
| vwhydrowv | there support sucks | 09:50 |

| Ayabara | is there a good (gui) batch renamer for gnome out there? | 10:17 |
| Kalamansi | khermans : is there any cheat sheet for that dhcp? | 10:17 |
| khermans | Return0, your NIC is probably autosensing | 10:18 |

| khermans | Ayabara, but i like sed :-) | 10:18 |
| khermans | Ayabara, check out the rename command | 10:18 |
| Ayabara | khermans, I have an alias for lowercasing stuff using rename, but that's about all the regexp I know :-) | 10:19 |

| ehc | mkquist, did you try using the web developer addon to highlight anything? that is the main thing that I need. I want to highlight the different sections of a website to show the tables that it is using. | 10:38 |
| khermans | vwhydrowv, i woudlnt reboot until upgrade is done | 10:39 |
| khermans | vwhydrowv, we need to install the last packages | 10:39 |

| khermans | vwhydrowv, you never told em those erros | 10:39 |
| mkquist | ehc: well, no cant say that i did, sry. What are u after? | 10:39 |
| khermans | didt it say "need to install ..." | 10:39 |
| vwhydrowv | yes but it didnt | 10:39 |
| vwhydrowv | after several attempts | 10:39 |
| khermans | so there must be some error though | 10:39 |
| khermans | in the display | 10:40 |
| nvictor | khermans: nothing happens | 10:40 |
| khermans | or check /var/log/ | 10:40 |
| vwhydrowv | yes, agree | 10:40 |
| nvictor | am I doing something wrong? | 10:40 |
| hacked_kernel | Is there a firefox plugin or independent player for IPIX extensions? | 10:40 |

| khermans | carina, no | 10:40 |
| nvictor | I have just apt-get apache2 | 10:41 |
| carina | when i use rdesktop screen seems very sluggish | 10:41 |
| nvictor | I want to start it | 10:41 |
| khermans | nvictor, but you need to kill any other web servers running too | 10:41 |
| vwhydrowv | failed to start the x server ( your graphical interface). it is likely that it is not set up correctly. would you like to view the x server output to diagnose the problem? | 10:41 |
| carina | which one is better window terminal server or rdesktop? | 10:41 |
| shadix | hey anyone have an idea why my keyboard sometimes dosn't work when I get to my login screen | 10:41 |

| nvictor | khermans: I have installed it | 10:42 |
| mkquist | ehc: well u can save it as multiple images if that helps, u still get the whole page in one swipe of a d/l tho | 10:42 |
| khermans | nvictor, if it is not starting, check /var/log for erros | 10:42 |
| shadix | CaptainMorgan: YArrrrr! | 10:42 |

| carina | with windows terminal session it seems to give all the everything including background and such | 10:42 |

| * inflex thinks there are too many people in this channel to effectively support people :( | 11:20 | |
| wers | i mean, uses less resources like ram and cpu | 11:20 |
| * inflex is dissapointed that since upgrading from 6.10 -> 7.10 on one machine, his ATi X800 card now craps out :(... worked fine in 6.10 | 11:21 | |
| khermans | inflex, yo ucan just pop in the CD i think | 11:21 |
| Drakx_ | wers: im taking a guess here and saying sunbird, since firefox is greedy IMO | 11:22 |
| khermans | inflex, sudo restricted-manager | 11:22 |
| beni | inflex, my gf had the same problem.. | 11:22 |
| inflex | khermans: doing that usually proceeds with a complete obliteration | 11:22 |
| wers | Drakx_, hmmm.. yah. maybe | 11:22 |
| inflex | beni: would you believe, it's my -wife's- machine | 11:22 |
| wers | how about Y!Mail on epiphany vs. gmail on sunbird? | 11:22 |

| alanbshepard70 | stupid question..... when using a command line how do I input a filename with spaces in it? when I type the spaces whatever program that is being passed the filename sees the space as error | 11:23 |
| inflex | beni: upgraded her from a 9200SE -> X800GTO so her WinXP "Sims2" would work nicely... then the other night I upgraded her Ubuntu from 6.10 -> 7.10 ... and now after 10 mins the keyboard / mouse clicks have no effect, though the machine still runs (I can ssh in and shut it down etc) | 11:23 |
| Drakx_ | alanbshepard70: use touch i\ am\ a\ file | 11:24 |

| alanbshepard70 | astro76: would it look like this /home/myusername/"filename with spaces" or "/home/myusername/filename with spaces" ? | 11:25 |
| arcade | Just discovered why 'tremulous' was warping. artsd was hogging resources for playing sound, making the entire game lag. :P | 11:25 |
| Drakx_ | alanbshepard70: file\ name or "file name" | 11:25 |

| inflex | beni: truly confounds me :( | 11:26 |
| beni | after some reinstalling of the ATI drivers it suddenly worked - I dunno how and why.. | 11:26 |
| inflex | mmm... | 11:26 |
| beni | yep, ATI really sucks sometimes | 11:26 |
| inflex | can't even use the card elsewher eprobably because we all are now using Ubuntu 7.10 | 11:26 |

| herz1 | how do I find out which kernel module provides "eth0" (or "eth1")? | 11:27 |
| inflex | osfameron: ja, that's a bit 'tight' | 11:27 |
| inflex | herz1: try erm.... dmesg | grep eth0 | 11:27 |
| inflex | herz1: or 'lsmod' | 11:27 |
| khermans | osfameron, min is 192MB | 11:27 |
| alanbshepard70 | astro: thanks it worked. | 11:27 |
| osfameron | khermans: aha. For the LiveCD or for ubuntu in general? | 11:27 |
| khermans | osfameron, ubuntu | 11:28 |
| khermans | bot | 11:28 |
| khermans | both | 11:28 |

| herz1 | a mapping eth<n> <-> pci-address would help, too | 11:28 |
| khermans | osfameron, look at the live cd requirements | 11:28 |
| inflex | why do they have to make those gaming girls look so good | 11:28 |
| Drakx_ | osfameron: give xubuntu it may run better with such low specs POS | 11:28 |
| vwhydrowv | i got booted | 11:28 |

| jpnurmi | hi. after installing g++-4.2, what's the proper way to change /usr/bin/g++ to point to g++-4.2 instead of g++-4.1 ? | 11:51 |
| PriceChild | Kalamansi, that means you have no network card detected. And stop using a root shell | 11:52 |
| rhizo | usually, one makes a symbolic link, man ln, jpnurmi | 11:52 |

| PriceChild | jpiccolo, that's going to cause breakage if you're not careful | 11:53 |
| jpnurmi | rhizo: yeah, but usually one uses update-alternatives on ubuntu | 11:54 |

| rhizo | but yeah, use native tools if available | 11:55 |

| Drakx_ | xerxes1358: wine /path/to/itunes | 12:07 |
| bazhang | xerxes1358: via wine? you can ask in #winehq | 12:07 |
| wild_oscar | can anyone ping and browse www.abola.pt ? | 12:08 |
| Tyczek | how can I unbind "menu"-key? | 12:08 |
| Tequil | Shyde: no it doesn't only the "mvanbeusekom" group (which is my user) and the new group I added (development) | 12:08 |
| jaggy | i know this ain't the right channel, but since here are the smartest people: where should i learn perl coding ? | 12:08 |
| Drakx_ | jaggy: the perl docs? | 12:09 |
| rhizo | mandrill, you'd try mounting your dvd and see if you can share the mount point via ubuntu's intuitive sharing interface, but i never done it | 12:09 |
| Drakx_ | always a good place to start ;) | 12:09 |
| jaggy | eh and where are they Drakx_ | 12:09 |
| jaggy | :p | 12:09 |
| Drakx_ | well i would say perl.org | 12:09 |
| Shyde | Tequil: there should be a bunch of other groups, how did you add yourself to that group? | 12:09 |

| humbolto | I am using envy for the latest nvidia driver. Now, when I am trying to start Desktop Effects, restricted manager wants to install nvidia-glx-new. How to circumvent this? | 12:10 |
| plutarcus | hi all | 12:10 |
| wols | !envy | 12:10 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 12:10 |
| wols | humbolto: look that the "not supported" part | 12:10 |
| astro76 | jaggy, perhaps ask in #perl | 12:10 |
| Tequil | Shyde: I have used the following command: usermod -G development mvanbeusekom | 12:10 |
| jaggy | ty astro76 :p | 12:10 |
| rhizo | jaggy: ask in #perl and you will be given a wealth of learning resources quickly | 12:10 |
| ere4si | I searched everywhere for an answer to this - I compiled my first kernel today and it added 1.5g to my system - is this normal?t | 12:10 |
| plutarcus | i'm having some troubles with Virtualbox | 12:10 |
| plutarcus | can someone help me? | 12:10 |
| Tequil | Shyde: I got this command from the book "Ubuntu unleashed" | 12:10 |
| wols | ere4si: you mean used diskspace? | 12:11 |
| mandrill | Rhizo: I can see the disc and have sgha4ed it via samba so the data is there. the thing is that it must have some sort of OS detection on it so I can't see the windows installation files only the Mac ones | 12:11 |
| rhizo | also, run "perldoc perl" ( install perldoc if needed ) | 12:11 |
| mandrill | *shared | 12:11 |
| plutarcus | this is the problem | 12:11 |
| ere4si | wols: yep | 12:11 |
| Tidus | mandrill: what disk is this you're trying to read? | 12:11 |
| plutarcus | when i start the virtual machine | 12:11 |
| wols | ere4si: normal. sourcode takes lot of room | 12:11 |
| plutarcus | i can see | 12:11 |
| rhizo | mandrill: how's that ubuntu related ? | 12:11 |
| humbolto | wols: don't see not "not supported" part? | 12:11 |
| wols | !enter | plutarcus | 12:11 |
| ubotu | plutarcus: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 12:11 |
| ere4si | wols: suprised it was so much | 12:12 |
| astro76 | Tequil, that command replaces your entire group membership with what you list after -G, you needed -Ga | 12:12 |
| humbolto | wols: ah | 12:12 |
| wols | humbolto: envy is not supported here. ask elsewhere | 12:12 |
| Shyde | Tequil: I'm not too familiar with user and group management but seems it overwrote all groups and only added those 2 | 12:12 |
| mandrill | the drive I'm trying to use in is a ubuntu machine | 12:12 |
| astro76 | Tequil, also it's supposed to be group1,group2,group3 ...commas and no spaces | 12:12 |
| Tidus | mandrill: i run into that when I try to install world of warcraft in wine | 12:13 |
| astro76 | Tequil, here is a list of default groups in Ubuntu so you can fix it: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner netdev lpadmin powerdev admin | 12:13 |
| astro76 | Tequil, plus a group with the same name as your user | 12:13 |

| plutarcus | ok, sorry. When i start the virtual machine, i can see this error: VirtualBox kernel driver not installed | 12:13 |

| LuitvD | Does anybody know how long it'll take for Transmission 1.00 to get through in the Repositories? | 12:14 |
| Tidus | mandrill: the "ugly" way around it is to put the cd in, then open a terminal, go root (sudo -i), unmount the disk | 12:14 |
| xerxes1358 | Drakx_, are you talking to me? | 12:14 |
| Drakx_ | yes sorry xerxes1358 | 12:14 |
| Tequil | astro76: I guess I need to be root user (or have su rights) to add myself to these groups' | 12:14 |
| Tidus | mandrill: then "mount -t iso9660 <path to cd drive> <where do you want to mount it>" | 12:14 |
| OD810 | hi there | 12:14 |
| Tidus | that gave me the windows files instead of the mac ones | 12:14 |
| OD810 | can anyone help me with configuring ATI Driver? | 12:14 |
| astro76 | Shyde, Tequil yeah if you don't have any users with sudo access anymore, you will need to boot into recovery mode or with a livecd, and edit /etc/group adding your username to all the required group lines | 12:14 |
| mandrill | tidus: thanks I'll give that a go | 12:15 |
| plutarcus | ok, this is the link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50844/ | 12:15 |

| Drakx_ | whats the intel wireless card? xerxes1358 | 12:17 |
| Drakx_ | xerxes1358: infact use the live cd then take a look at network-manager | 12:17 |

| xerxes1358 | Drakx_, I dont know to be sure I have a Intel Centrino laptop with built in wireless card | 12:17 |

| Rudd-O | PriceChild: I don't want gutsy support, I want a hyperlink where I can download the source package for gutsy, and maybe instructions on how to build a deb | 12:20 |
| Rudd-O | replace gutsy for hardy in that sntence | 12:20 |

| Kalamansi | PriceChild : pc1 ubuntu server have internet connection. modem>server ubuntu pc1 > switch > pc2 .. pc2 have no internet connection now after running firestarter ... | 12:21 |
| PriceChild | Rudd-O, so why mention hardy? | 12:21 |
| Drakx_ | Tidus: i know, but im telling him i cannot help since i use intel not ati | 12:21 |
| PriceChild | Rudd-O, apt-get source <packagename> | 12:21 |
| Rudd-O | PriceChild: just because I want to be accurate that I want the PA source package for hardy | 12:21 |
| Tidus | oh. sorry, misread | 12:21 |
| OD810 | Tidus: you got solution? | 12:21 |
| PriceChild | Rudd-O, add a -b for it to build automatically for YOU | 12:21 |
| Tidus | OD810: have you tried using fglrxconfig ? | 12:21 |
| Rudd-O | PriceChild: apt-get source won't work because I only have the gutsy repos in my machine | 12:21 |

| bazhang | OD810: use the recommended method NOT envy | 12:22 |
| Rudd-O | PriceChild: thanks | 12:22 |
| Rudd-O | btw what's envy | 12:22 |
| Tidus | bazhang: if i remember right, fglrxconfig is the recommended way | 12:22 |
| OD810 | Rudd-O: an easy way to install ati driver | 12:22 |
| Tidus | or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 12:22 |
| Rudd-O | does envy work fine? | 12:22 |
| OD810 | Rudd-O: work fine except for resolution | 12:23 |
| Rudd-O | i have the standard ati driver with an R100 chip, which driver do you recommend to speed it up? | 12:23 |

| Rudd-O | compiz works too slowly here | 12:25 |

| wols | Kalamansi: why do you need firestarter? | 12:25 |
| Kalamansi | wols : to monitor my workstations, what website they visit and if its illegal i will block? | 12:26 |
| Kalamansi | wols : like video streaming | 12:26 |

| Rudd-O | how do I build it? | 12:27 |

| void^ | i think the rt2x00 driver in gutsy has some problems, it has never worked properly with any of my devices, both pci and usb. had to use the legacy driver instead. | 13:05 |

| idefix_ | elkbuntu is it worth upgrading? | 13:08 |
| Ximal | crocd : go to add remove and install MySql Administrator ... | 13:08 |
| Ximal | crocd : also you need to do a stop before you alter mysql server files and then a restart of the service to initiate and complete any changes in the files .. | 13:08 |
| crocd | Ximal: brb | 13:09 |
| Ximal | ok | 13:09 |
| elkbuntu | idefix_, if you have been happy with the LTS system, then waiting another few months and upgrading from LTS to LTS is worthwhile | 13:09 |
| Kalamansi | hello need help...i cannot connect pc2 to the internet.... | 13:09 |
| elkbuntu | idefix_, otherwise, you'll be doing 3 upgrades or a complete reinstall | 13:09 |
| idefix_ | I now have Dapper yeah \o/ :D | 13:09 |
| wols | Kalamansi: pc1 is running what? | 13:10 |
| Ximal | kalamansi are you on a router ? | 13:10 |
| Kalamansi | wols : pc1 (which im using it now which is the server) | 13:10 |
| bazhang | Kalamansi: pc2? what is on this system, and how are you trying to connect? | 13:10 |
| Kalamansi | Ximal : no i dont have router. | 13:10 |
| wols | Kalamansi: answer my question | 13:10 |
| Kalamansi | bazhang : eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:A1:B5:9E:2B | 13:10 |
| Kalamansi | inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | 13:10 |
| Ximal | Then what are you doing ? using 2 nic cards to share the connection ? | 13:10 |
| Kalamansi | wols : pc1 is running as server ubuntu 7.10 .. modem>server pc1 ubuntu>switch>pc2 | 13:11 |
| Ximal | Ok first off kalamansi ; do not use dual 192 addresses for the different nick cards .. | 13:11 |
| idefix_ | elkbuntu, the last command I ran was sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 13:11 |
| Ximal | Let the first card draw the ip address of your internet connection.. | 13:11 |
| wols | Kalamansi: does pc1 haev 2 network cards or network interfaces? | 13:11 |
| idefix_ | if I do that a couple more times, nothing can go wrong right? | 13:11 |
| Ximal | Second Kalamansi : you will need to not try and use any dhcp since you will be SHARING the service and not actuall BE the service of internet.. | 13:12 |
| Ximal | So you will want to setup like a 101.1.5.x | 13:12 |
| Ximal | not a 192.x.x.x | 13:12 |
| Kalamansi | wols : 2 nics. 1 is built-in. and 2 is cnet | 13:12 |
| elkbuntu | idefix_, that will only take you up one version at a time. if you wait for Hardy to be released, you'll be able to go up 4 versions at once | 13:12 |
| Ximal | this way you don't get your system confused ... Don't setup dhcp either... Just set the second dhcp to be shared .. | 13:12 |
| Ximal | errr set the second NIC to be shared.. | 13:12 |
| Ximal | nic 1 = internet connection nic 2 = specified ip address set by you and shared with network as internet connection for any other system .. | 13:13 |
| cvasilak | is there anyone that successfully connects wirelessly using an atheros 5418 chipset? | 13:13 |
| wols | Kalamansi: is ipmasq installed on pC1? | 13:13 |
| idefix_ | but I cannot burn a DVD or CD on my PC | 13:13 |
| idefix_ | upgrading only takes 10 mins per version | 13:13 |
| Kalamansi | wols : let me tell you what i did first | 13:13 |
| bazhang | cvasilak: is that the atheros_swan? | 13:13 |
| cvasilak | bazhang, its an atheros 5418 chipset, i use the latest svn for madwifi, it brings up ath0 interface but it can associate with the access point so dhclient fails to acquire ip address | 13:15 |
| Kalamansi | wols : sudo ifconfig eth2 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0, then echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward , and last iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE | 13:15 |
| xerxes1358 | Do you guys know what Linux REALLY needs in 2008 ? | 13:16 |
| mandrill | tidus, that did it thanks very much :D | 13:16 |
| wols | Kalamansi: stupid way to do it. insecure too | 13:16 |
| bazhang | cvasilak: have you tried setting it manually? | 13:16 |
| wols | Kalamansi: you edit your /etc/network/interfaces for static IP, then install ipmasq and you are done | 13:16 |
| fsckr | xerxes1358, better sound support? | 13:16 |
| fsckr | LOL | 13:16 |
| xerxes1358 | fsckr, yeah that too | 13:16 |
| eid | how to share internet connection over ad-hoc | 13:16 |
| eid | ? | 13:16 |
| xerxes1358 | but really important | 13:16 |
| Tidus | mandrill: not a problem | 13:16 |
| wols | eid: do you have a connection via ad hoc already? | 13:16 |
| xerxes1358 | INTEGRATED VM Ware support like VM Ware FUSION on Mac os X!!! | 13:17 |
| xerxes1358 | now thats what really is important | 13:17 |
| cvasilak | bazhang, i tried iwconfig ath0 essid linksys to set the essid and then run dhclient, i am not using any wep or wpa | 13:17 |
| Tidus | xerxes1358: but, that integrated vmware support relies on those core2duo chips having intel's VT technology in it | 13:17 |
| Kalamansi | wols : i dont have static ip. its dynamic.my isp gave me an antena and login pass. when i login to the internet i just browse any website and it point me to their website then login... | 13:17 |
| vwhydrowv | im getting failted to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/ on almost every update when i check for updates, any suggestions? | 13:17 |
| Tidus | that's how it runs | 13:17 |
| xerxes1358 | And by integrated I mean that you dont have to work in a small stupid vm ware screen but that the apps are integrated and all the menus etc.. | 13:17 |
| eid | wols , yes. i have to laptops running ubuntu 7.10 , one of them connected by on eth0 to adsl-modem | 13:18 |
| wols | Kalamansi: your LAN ip will be static | 13:18 |
| wols | eid: on the one with the modem: install ipmasq | 13:18 |
| xerxes1358 | Tidus, yes but if you have core2duo and Linux you still dont have integrated menus | 13:18 |
| Tidus | xerxes1358: true, but they'll never implement that until at least 90% of computers out there running linux are core duo or better | 13:18 |
| xerxes1358 | like VM Fusion | 13:18 |
| Tidus | i still got a pair of pentium 2s running linux | 13:19 |
| vwhydrowv | nm, router is down | 13:19 |
| xerxes1358 | Tidus, lots of them are already. | 13:19 |
| ^^gabriel^^ | Guess that rules out my pentium II 400. | 13:19 |
| Kalamansi | wols : this is my pico /etc/network/interfaces "auto lo | 13:19 |
| Kalamansi | iface lo inet loopback" | 13:19 |
| Tidus | and what about those of us who have semi-recent hardware, but doesn't have hardware virtualization support? | 13:19 |
| Tidus | like my p4 laptop | 13:19 |
| xerxes1358 | ^^gabriel^^, the P2 was actually quiet a good cpu in his time :) I had one too | 13:19 |
| ^^gabriel^^ | I have several. | 13:20 |
| xerxes1358 | remember upgrading from 350 to 400 ! | 13:20 |

| eid | wols, what i have to do ? | 13:20 |
| xerxes1358 | what boost in those times :D ^^gabriel^^ | 13:20 |
| wols | Kalamansi: yes and it is wrong. you lack entries for eth0. and it's not even a ubuntu made interfaces wifle | 13:20 |
| ^^gabriel^^ | My first was apple II+. | 13:20 |
| wols | eid: I already told you | 13:20 |
| vzduch | problem solved, thx anyway | 13:20 |
| Kalamansi | wols how to correct that? | 13:20 |
| eid | wols, i installed ipmasq | 13:21 |
| wols | Kalamansi: by adding a static IP for your eth0 | 13:21 |
| xerxes1358 | Hardware will follow software You build the functionality support and people will buy hardware for it. | 13:21 |
| wols | eid: then you should be done if your static IPs are set up correctly | 13:21 |
| xerxes1358 | ok guys my ubuntu cd is freshly toased | 13:21 |
| xerxes1358 | wish me luck installing ununtu | 13:21 |
| Kalamansi | wols what is the cheat sheet command for adding? | 13:21 |
| ^^gabriel^^ | 'luck' | 13:21 |
| wols | mandrill: there is none | 13:21 |
| wols | Kalamansi: there is none | 13:21 |
| Kalamansi | all i know is this sudo ifconfig eth2 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0, then echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward , and last iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE | 13:21 |
| wols | Kalamansi: man interfaces | 13:21 |
| wols | Kalamansi: repeating it won't make it better | 13:22 |
| xerxes1358 | How long does the install take btw? | 13:22 |
| xerxes1358 | on a coreduo 1.6ghz 1gb | 13:22 |
| wols | Kalamansi: and just blindly following a howto on the net you found isn't a good solution either | 13:22 |
| Tidus | i remember a while back an old debian script that's in the repos that can do that for you... | 13:22 |
| Tidus | just cant remember what the name of it was | 13:22 |
| Tidus | set up ipmasq and forwarding for you | 13:22 |
| xerxes1358 | . | 13:22 |
| th0r | wolsm actually they were commands given to him earlier this morning here | 13:22 |
| wols | Tidus: it's called "ipmasq" | 13:23 |
| wols | th0r: doesn't make it any better either | 13:23 |
| Tidus | ah yes, that one | 13:23 |
| th0r | wols :) | 13:23 |
| Tidus | xerxes1358: about 30 minutes | 13:23 |
| ^^gabriel^^ | xerxes did you checksum the download b4 you burned the iso? | 13:23 |
| Kalamansi | wols : can i just copy the sample of man interfaces and put it in /etc/network/interfaces ? im not good in command typos and scripting... | 13:23 |
| mandrill | wols eh? | 13:24 |
| wols | mandrill: wrong key, sorry | 13:24 |
| mandrill | wols: heh np. :) | 13:24 |
| ^^gabriel^^ | look at it this way, my keyboard has mostly 'wrong' keys at any given moment. | 13:25 |
| Kalamansi | wols : any cheat sheet for this? | 13:25 |
| wols | yes. man interfaces is a great cheat sheet | 13:26 |
| bidossessi | i see there's a mythbuntu iso. anyone knows if i could run it without a tuner card? | 13:26 |
| eid | wols, the ad-hoc network does not any more | 13:26 |
| Lupin^ | How do i activate window switching with ALT+TAB in ubuntu? It doesn't work here when i set visual effects to "None"... with visual effects it works | 13:26 |
| bidossessi | the thing is that i don't have internet access at home, so i have to take back something that just works | 13:27 |
| wols | eid: this sentence no verb | 13:27 |
| Kalamansi | wols is it ok to copy the sample? | 13:27 |
| TonKi | Lupin^: have a look in preferences > keyboard shortcuts | 13:27 |
| wols | Kalamansi: unlikely | 13:27 |
| Kalamansi | wols im not good in scripting... =/ | 13:27 |
| wols | this is not scripting. and I don't do handholding | 13:28 |
| bazhang | bidossessi: try geexbox | 13:28 |
| th0r | wols I see you have caught up with some of us <smile> | 13:29 |
| Tidus | wols: and apparently you don't do much answering either... | 13:29 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : the one that you did together with bulmer is working lately..but when i reboot pc2 cannot connect internet anymore =/ | 13:29 |
| wols | Tidus: if you've been around some time you knew I do answer a lot | 13:29 |
| wols | but I don't like people who want to have done everything for them. if they are that lazy and unwilling to elar: hire a conslutant | 13:30 |
| bazhang | Tidus: more than most actually | 13:30 |
| wols | *unwilling to learn | 13:30 |
| ^^gabriel^^ | wols: that's how my kids feel. | 13:30 |
| wols | Tidus: IRC is not your unpaid professional consultant who does your work for you | 13:30 |
| Tidus | bazhang: less helpful than most i've seen too. | 13:31 |
| bazzieb | what other way is there to edit a file but not vi?? | 13:32 |
| Tidus | !editor | 13:32 |
| ubotu | Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code | 13:32 |
| Jowi | bazzieb, "nano" is very simple. my favourite. | 13:32 |
| bazzieb | nano was what i was looking for, thanks | 13:32 |
| bazhang | Tidus: wols is one of the best here imo | 13:32 |
| th0r | Tidus nope...I think your offbase here | 13:32 |
| ^^gabriel^^ | Everybody gets stuck sometime. I wouldn't help anyone who wasn't making any effort either. | 13:32 |
| bazhang | !ot | Tidus | 13:33 |
| ubotu | Tidus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 13:33 |
| Tidus | bazhang: i'm not a retard. i know what's OT and what's not | 13:33 |
| bidossessi | conslutant; loool | 13:33 |
| Kalamansi | i guess you guys need to give some simple howtos so that ubuntu will be well-known and kicked windows out of the box | 13:33 |
| wols | Tidus: then don't act like one and take ot stuff to #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:33 |
| Lupin^ | TonKi what setting do i have to make? | 13:33 |
| bazhang | Tidus: ease it up | 13:33 |
| wols | Tidus: and if you want to complain about my attitude: tell an op. !ops <blah> | 13:34 |
| Kalamansi | well im a windows user tho. and im tired of using linksys router | 13:34 |
| wols | Tidus: but be careful | 13:34 |
| Kalamansi | always have a problem with internet connection | 13:34 |
| Kalamansi | whew | 13:34 |
| Lupin^ | TonKi i think i found it, thanks | 13:34 |
| elkbuntu | wols, we already know how rude you are, and are getting very sick of it. | 13:34 |
| TonKi | Lupin^: is "move between windows with popup" bound to alt-tab? | 13:34 |
| PriceChild | I want to find out which input my inbuilt mic is on. Is there a program I can use to easily see volume levels when I shout at my laptop and change capture volumes of the different devices | 13:35 |
| Kalamansi | bulmer was one of a kind tho | 13:35 |
| Kalamansi | but thank wols | 13:35 |
| bazhang | Kalamansi: yeah, they are problematic with all systems in my experience--asus are much better imo--but I am way offtopic; sorry! | 13:35 |
| Kalamansi | i think you wols have limited friends in the real life | 13:35 |
| Kalamansi | hehe | 13:35 |
| wols | elkbuntu: I#ve told you before so I won't do it again | 13:35 |
| Kalamansi | thanks wols you did help me before | 13:35 |
| Lupin^ | TonKi it was ctrl+alt+e O_o | 13:35 |
| Lupin^ | but i change it now, thanks :) | 13:36 |
| TonKi | change it ;) | 13:36 |

| bazhang | Kalamansi: new to linux myself--googling around and the forums led me to asus routers wired and wireless all in one | 13:37 |
| Tidus | Kalamansi: is your /etc/network/interfaces (or something similar, never can remember file names) set up so one nic is hardcoded to a static ip, the other dhcp ? | 13:38 |
| Tidus | and also keep in mind on ubuntu, you'll have to disable networkmanager to make this work | 13:38 |
| elkbuntu | wols, no, please do tell me. | 13:38 |
| Kalamansi | bazhang : whats the uptime of your router? | 13:38 |
| Kalamansi | Tidus : i dont know im pissed | 13:38 |
| jaggy | how do i swap a file's rights ( root , normal users ... ) so everyone can use it ??? | 13:38 |
| Kalamansi | Tidus and i think i will try endian than ubuntu | 13:38 |
| elkbuntu | wols, if you dont want to say it here, you know where to say it | 13:38 |

| Kalamansi | ubuntu is fast i cant delete virus from usb also that came from windows thats what also i loved | 13:40 |
| Tidus | jaggy: if you can't remember the mode numbers, you can use the mode letters that are found in the man page for chown | 13:40 |

| Kalamansi | Tidus : i can connect pc2 to the internet with the help of bulmer and th0r. but when i run firestarter and reboot, the pc2 cannot connect to the internet its weird. | 13:42 |
| Tidus | Kalamansi: if you want this to work, you'll have to disable NetworkManager in the services config (and for the life of me, i can't remember where that is too) | 13:42 |
| wols | Tidus: I learned by lots of trying and reading stuff myself (back then no broadband but pay for the minute dialup. idling and asking on irc would be way too costly) | 13:42 |
| Tidus | Kalamansi: it's because firestarter wipes out iptables entirely | 13:42 |
| Kalamansi | Tidus : firestarter is not running now | 13:42 |
| wols | Tidus: network manager meddles with your manual interfaces settings? worse software than I thought this | 13:43 |
| Tidus | Kalamansi: yes, this is understood. however, when you start firestarter, it clears iptables out entirely, meaning all the NAT rules are gone | 13:43 |
| pete2 | hello | 13:43 |
| Tidus | wols: yes, NetworkManager is meant to be a zeroconfig solution for portables | 13:43 |
| wols | Kalamansi: your ifconfig commandline needs to be run EVERY time you boot. which is the reason it's such a bad solution | 13:43 |
| Tidus | it'll override what's set in /etc/network/interfaces | 13:44 |
| bazzieb | kk | 13:45 |
| Kalamansi | wols Tidus what to do now? this is the command that i know 255.255.255.0 | 13:45 |
| Kalamansi | i mean this sudo ifconfig eth2 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0, then echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward , and last iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE | 13:46 |

| Kalamansi | wols : but i can connec pc2 before when bulmer thought me that command. but now it wont | 13:46 |
| wols | Kalamansi: I told you time and again to set up a static IP in your /etc/network/interfaces file | 13:46 |
| Kalamansi | wols i dont know to set up =/ i am not good in scripting =/ | 13:47 |

| ^^gabriel^^ | wols: I think Kalamansi means 'terminal commands'. | 13:48 |
| Kalamansi | but this typing letters im not good. not like in windows you will just obtain it and there | 13:48 |
| Kalamansi | or click it | 13:49 |
| Kalamansi | yeah terminal or console | 13:49 |
| wols | ^^gabriel^^: he means "please tell me exactly what magic commands I have to type in to make it all work miracoulously". and I am not gonna do that | 13:49 |

| Spide1 | hello everyone. | 13:54 |
| Kalamansi | wols edit files yes. but scripting in terminal i dont know | 13:54 |
| Spide1 | I was wondering if anyone here would be familiar with Ubuntu installation problems... | 13:54 |
| Spide1 | <---newb | 13:55 |
| th0r | Spide1 be specific | 13:55 |
| savage1 | should i aptget ltsp? | 13:55 |
| === wirechief_intel is now known as wirechief1 | ||
| Spide1 | Well, when I load up off the CD, it eventually just gives me a garbled Ubuntu logo, and goes back to a black screen, saying it's loading scripts, then goes back to the garbled screen, and so on so forth indefinitely. | 13:55 |
| th0r | savage1 no...you should look up the Linux Terminal Server Project (ltsp). it is what you want | 13:56 |
| wols | savage1: you should read about it first. not trivial to setup | 13:56 |
| darkghost2 | what you think about ubuntu? | 13:56 |

| Kalamansi | how to install ATI? my videocard is ATI | 13:58 |
| RenatoSilva | I'm testing Pidgin plugins please someone send me a message | 13:59 |
| th0r | Spide1 if you are getting IO errors it sounds like the cd drive itself might be bad | 13:59 |
| Spide1 | hmmm. | 13:59 |
| th0r | Spide1 did you burn on this cd drive or a different one? | 13:59 |
| Spide1 | the md5 bit you mentioned, that's the CD error test at the boot screen no? | 14:00 |
| RenatoSilva | test | 14:00 |
| RenatoSilva | test | 14:00 |
| Spide1 | nah, I burned it on my own laptop, then used it on the one in question. | 14:00 |
| darkghost2 | test | 14:00 |
| RenatoSilva | darkghost2: sorry rs | 14:00 |
| ^^gabriel^^ | Spide1: no, it checks the dl for errors. | 14:00 |
| th0r | Spide1 no, the md5 checksum will verify that the iso download is good. the CD error test on the boot screen you never reach, right? | 14:00 |
| Kalamansi | !ati | 14:00 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 14:00 |
| th0r | Spide1 if you burned on a different drive...did you use a very slow speed to burn (very good idea) | 14:01 |
| Spide1 | I do reach it, but I get I/O errors and the like when I try to install. | 14:01 |
| RenatoSilva | What's backport updates? | 14:01 |
| ^^gabriel^^ | th0r: yes, i had to burn at 8x 'fore it worked. | 14:01 |
| xerxes1358 | I have a 80gb hd. I want to assign 20gb to Linux + apps and the rest of to data. What do I need to do ? | 14:01 |
| darkghost2 | updates | 14:01 |
| th0r | Spide1 sometimes differences in head alignment on two drives will give the sort of problems you are having, and doing a slow burn might help | 14:01 |
| RenatoSilva | What's backport updates? | 14:01 |
| ere4si | !backports | 14:02 |
| ubotu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 14:02 |
| WorkingOnWise | xerxes1358: make partition 1 78.5GB, and give it a mount point of "/home", and a file system of ext3. partition 2 20GB, and give it a mount point of "/" and a file system or ext2, and the rest as a swap partiton. | 14:02 |
| darkghost2 | ben kaçar herkese iyi akşamlar(tr) Good evening(eng) | 14:02 |
| th0r | Spide1 yeah...those io errors mean your drive isn't reading the cd correctly. Two possibilities...the drive is going bad, or head misalignment. A slow burn might help the alignment. As for the drive going bad...well.... | 14:02 |
| Spide1 | th0r really? Never knew that.... | 14:02 |
| Spide1 | don't suppose I can install from a USB drive... | 14:03 |
| th0r | Spide1 you can if the computer will boot from a usb drive. The newest ones supposedly can | 14:03 |
| crocd | is anyone having problems with spacebar not reponding or suddenly repeating and adding spaces whilst typing? My system is kubuntu on gutsy amd64. I am also use a belking kvm | 14:04 |
| Spide1 | I guess I need to do a slow burn then... | 14:04 |
| Spide1 | see if that helps. See, the weird part is it installed fine the first time, but then it kept crashing | 14:05 |
| Spide1 | and freezing, and all sorts of unpleasant things. | 14:05 |
| th0r | Spide1 that would be my first suggestion | 14:05 |
| WorkingOnWise | crocd: is the keyboard u are having troubles with plugged into the kvm? | 14:05 |
| th0r | Spide1 are you trying to reinstall? | 14:05 |
| Spide1 | yes. | 14:05 |
| savage1 | did you try another keyboard | 14:06 |
| th0r | funny how these things sort of trickle out | 14:06 |
| larson9999 | wonder if i'll get 64bit to quit locking up or just go back to 32 | 14:06 |
| savage1 | it's probably either the keyboard or the kvm, probably a highly technical spilled beer situation | 14:06 |
| th0r | Spide1 are you booting off the CD or trying to run it after boot? | 14:06 |
| Spide1 | booting off the CD | 14:06 |
| spee | does the ATI driver from the ati website for the mobility x1400 work with compiz and compositing windows? | 14:07 |
| spee | i remember beryl kinda suckin' when it came to ATI cards | 14:07 |
| th0r | Spide1 then it should work...I would suggest first a clean burn at a slow speed (no more than 8X...I usually use 2X) | 14:07 |
| elig | you know i cant get the drivers to compile | 14:07 |
| spee | if i use a generic ATI driver i have to disable compositing in the xorg conf to get anything to work | 14:07 |
| elig | anyone using the rt2570 drivers | 14:07 |
| Spide1 | well, let me do the mp5 bit...is that something I can get off the Ubuntu site, or a seperate program? | 14:07 |

| Jowi | bobbob1016, you use "screen" command or "nohup" depending on what you want to do. | 14:12 |
| WorkingOnWise | first i would plug the same keyboard into the comouter to eliminate the kvm as a problem.'' | 14:12 |
| Jowi | bobbob1016, but then the app must first be launched with "screen" | 14:13 |
| bobbob1016 | xerxes1358, I'm guessing you mean directions on how to do an alternate install, there is an old video on google-video/youtube, it was for 5.10 (breezy), but the general idea is the same | 14:13 |

| IanLiu | How do I start the Ubuntu Finder (to look for files) with root permitions? | 14:18 |
| vwhydrowv | backdoored, hrm that must of been painful, hehe | 14:19 |
| b4ckd00red | gksudo? | 14:19 |
| b4ckd00red | vwhydrowv: ???? | 14:19 |
| IanLiu | I never used GKSudo... how I use it? | 14:19 |
| vwhydrowv | u know what backdoored means? | 14:19 |
| b4ckd00red | yes | 14:19 |
| vwhydrowv | ok | 14:19 |
| b4ckd00red | because i write rootkits | 14:19 |
| IanLiu | !gksudo | 14:20 |
| ubotu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 14:20 |
| vwhydrowv | no ill msg u another meaning | 14:20 |
| kbrooks | b4ckd00red, we cannot help you | 14:20 |
| b4ckd00red | should r00t ur box? lol | 14:20 |
| wols | vwhydrowv: yes. mount it by UUID (I guess it's a usb drive or such) | 14:20 |
| bobbob1016 | xerxes1358, Not sure how good linux partitioners are with ntfs on vista yet, if you don't want it, which I might guess from your smiley face, then my usual partition scheme is 10-20 for /, at least equal to the amount of physical ram for the swap partition, then the rest for /home. Keeping /home on a separate partition allows you to reinstall without losing data, although I read hardy is going to do this anyways | 14:20 |
| vwhydrowv | wols yes it is | 14:20 |
| wols | vwhydrowv: if it's a internal partition you should mount it via fstab even (imho). | 14:20 |
| b4ckd00red | kbrooks: ASKED? | 14:20 |
| xerxes1358 | bobbob1016: thanks. Is reiserfs now at version 4? How does it compare to xfs ? How fast /reliable is it? Is there support for ntfs / windows | 14:21 |
| vwhydrowv | wols, u got the command? | 14:22 |
| alsadk | اهلا | 14:22 |
| wols | vwhydrowv: command for what? | 14:22 |
| crocd | WorkingOnWise: Yesit is, I had the same setup on feisty and it didnt have this problem | 14:22 |
| bidossessi | how do i check for/start/stop running services in ubuntu? /etc/init.d? | 14:22 |
| wols | xerxes1358: you do not want to use reiserfs 4 | 14:22 |
| wols | bidossessi: yes | 14:23 |
| vwhydrowv | im a newb man, is there a command for statically assigning it | 14:23 |
| wols | vwhydrowv: no | 14:23 |
| vwhydrowv | backdoor did u see my msg | 14:23 |
| mianhuatang | hello! | 14:23 |
| vwhydrowv | ? | 14:23 |
| xerxes1358 | wols: for what reasons/ | 14:23 |
| crocd | as you can see it adds or doesnt add spaces randomlyand then will repeat until I interupt they repeat | 14:23 |
| wols | xerxes1358: it's not stable enough to use | 14:23 |
| bobbob1016 | xerxes1358, I'm not that knowledgeable with filesystems, as in which is better, I use ext2 and ext3 since I know linux knows them inside and out. I have data on fat32 and ntfs, since I dualboot occasionally. | 14:23 |
| spee | does the ATI driver from the ATI site work properly? is true transparency working with ATI cards and these drivers? | 14:23 |
| IanLiu | what is the command to launch "Search for Files..."? | 14:23 |
| b4ckd00red | sup gayboy | 14:23 |
| spee | does the ATI driver from the ati website for the mobility x1400 work with compiz and compositing windows? | 14:23 |
| vwhydrowv | backdoor, i responded to u | 14:24 |
| vwhydrowv | not sure why u didnt see it | 14:24 |
| vwhydrowv | ok anyways | 14:24 |
| xerxes1358 | back in the days reiserfs 3 was much faster than ext3. How is the performance these days ? Is the reiserfs that comes in installation version 3 ? | 14:24 |
| Trollinator | does the ubuntu 7.10 live CD include ndiswrapper? | 14:24 |
| Trollinator | xerxes1358: yes, that's reiserfs3 | 14:25 |
| WorkingOnWise | crocd: i would plug the keyboard directly into the compouter, or the kvm into another computer, just to be positive it isnt the kvm. | 14:25 |
| vwhydrowv | back on topic, so how do i go about making it a static drive wols, what do i have to do? | 14:25 |
| mianhuatang | have any chinese here` | 14:25 |
| th0r | !ch | 14:25 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ch - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 14:25 |
| crocd | WorkingOnWise: I know it isnt the kvm as I have thison a xp desktop and this doesnt happen on that. | 14:26 |
| bullgard4 | IanLiu: Do you refer to Gnome_Search_Tool? Gnome Search Tool does not need a special root permission. | 14:26 |
| mianhuatang | 有中国人不？ | 14:26 |
| bidossessi | mianhuatang, unfortunately no | 14:26 |
| IanLiu | bullgard4: I know, but I want to Remove the found files | 14:26 |
| bullgard4 | IanLiu: gnome-search-tool is no tool to remove found files. You will need the command (sudo) rm | 14:27 |
| Jowi | !zh | mianhuatang | 14:27 |
| ubotu | mianhuatang: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 14:27 |
| th0r | Jowi I knew it was there someplace | 14:27 |
| IanLiu | bullgard4: but, how do I recursively search for files in a tree of folders? | 14:27 |
| bullgard4 | IanLiu: sudo rm -r <directoryname> | 14:28 |
| bullgard4 | IanLiu: But be careful! | 14:28 |
| mianhuatang | THINK | 14:29 |
| th0r | IanLiu no....rm will REMOVE the files...to search use 'find <start folder> -n <filename> | 14:29 |
| IanLiu | bullgard4: but that will search in all folders? | 14:29 |
| jimbo | !ubotu regular expression | 14:29 |
| bullgard4 | IanLiu: no. | 14:29 |
| th0r | IanLiu or better yet...install the find-utils so you can use locate | 14:29 |
| jimbo | !ubotu regex | 14:29 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about regex - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 14:29 |
| IanLiu | th0r: Ok, I will try find utils ;) | 14:30 |
| jimbo | !ubotu find regex | 14:30 |
| ubotu | Found: kregexpeditor, libregexp-java, libxml-regexp-perl, cl-regex, ghc6 (and 13 others) | 14:30 |
| Trollinator | does the ubuntu 7.10 live CD include ndiswrapper? | 14:30 |
| jimbo | !ubotu find regular\ expression | 14:30 |
| ubotu | Package/file regular\ does not exist in gutsy | 14:30 |
| jimbo | !ubotu find "regular expression" | 14:31 |
| ubotu | Package/file "regular does not exist in gutsy | 14:31 |
| werpo | excuse me can somebody help me out? | 14:31 |
| bullgard4 | Trollinator: No. | 14:31 |
| amorphous__ | hey guys - i'm stuck with resolution problems after a gutsy upgrade. Have managed to get 1280x1024 on one user account, but need the name of the screen res setting app to change the others. can anyone tell me the command to open the graphics/screen resolution app? | 14:31 |
| Trollinator | bullgard4: thx. | 14:31 |
| th0r | werpo be specific | 14:31 |
| Trollinator | werpo: don't ask to ask, ask. | 14:31 |
| werpo | well, ive just installed enlightenment and i cant manage to channnnge my desktop backgroud | 14:32 |
| th0r | amorphous__ what you really should do is add the proper modeline in xorg.conf so the resolution is available to all users at bootup | 14:32 |
| IanLiu | Ok, I did it, but with gnome-search-tool :) | 14:32 |
| th0r | werpo If I remember correctly you need esetroot...but that was for e16 | 14:33 |
| Nexus6 | list | 14:33 |
| Nexus6 | \list | 14:33 |
| IanLiu | thank you guys | 14:33 |
| khamael | is there a moon phase applet for gnome? | 14:33 |
| amorphous__ | th0r, i've used dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, the resolution takes, bu | 14:33 |
| amorphous__ | th0r, (sorry) but only on the account that I've set it in the screen res app. | 14:33 |
| amorphous__ | th0r, think I changed a few whilst googling yesterday... am really regretting the gutsy upgrade :( | 14:34 |
| werpo | thor; i'm using e 17 | 14:34 |
| th0r | amorphous__ I would hit google and check how to set the default resolution....it should be possible to set it up without having to change each user individually | 14:35 |
| th0r | werpo do you have esetroot in e17? | 14:35 |
| jimbo | IanLiu: sorry this is late, you want to use find have a look here for some examples http://www.linux.ie/newusers/beginners-linux-guide/find.php | 14:35 |
| werpo | thor: nope i dont have it | 14:35 |
| tinin | Could I limit the wireless traffic in my router with any application? | 14:35 |
| th0r | werpo ok...didn't know how much was changed in 17. | 14:36 |
| amorphous__ | th0r, google seems to be full of people with gutsy resolution problems, but none of their fixes are helping me :( - still - i'll give it a go ;) | 14:36 |
| werpo | ok, i have e16 as well, will try using esetroot | 14:36 |
| amorphous__ | th0r, cheers | 14:36 |
| kaenel | is there a package for the "eclipse c/c++" editor? | 14:36 |
| werpo | thanks | 14:36 |
| bidossessi | is there a howto available for turning my desktop into a hotspot? (madwifi) | 14:37 |
| spee | does the ATI driver from the ati website for the mobility x1400 work correctly with compiz? | 14:38 |
| jimbo | <kaenel> you can search the package manager for it with the command apt-cache search eclipse | 14:38 |
| amorphous__ | th0r, what i realy could do with is the name of the app to adjust the screen res...? | 14:39 |
| th0r | amorphous__ I use xfce ...not sure what it would be in gnome or kde | 14:40 |
| amorphous__ | Anyone know the screen and graphics setting tool name/command? | 14:40 |
| amorphous__ | for gnome | 14:40 |
| amorphous__ | ok - thanks th0r | 14:40 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !enter > vwhydrowv | 14:42 |
| bidossessi | vwhydrowv, why don't u use a linux fs like ext2/3 | 14:42 |
| evil_kevin | apt-get install ntfs-3g? | 14:42 |
| evil_kevin | not very hard | 14:42 |
| amorphous__ | it's a shame that ubuntu dont use the app name in the titlebar... would educate the people... | 14:42 |
| Arthur37854 | what command do i use to delete all files, in a folder, in a terminal window | 14:43 |

| th0r | amorphous__ you can usually discover it by opening a terminal, doing a 'ps ax', opening the app, then doing another 'ps ax' to see what is new | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | vwhydrowv: Are you running gutsy? | 14:43 |
| vwhydrowv | yes | 14:44 |
| vwhydrowv | and ntfs config | 14:44 |

| _mug | hey | 14:45 |
| jimbo | <vwhydrowv> change the UUI in /etc/fstab to reference the device through /dev/ | 14:45 |
| vwhydrowv | how can i tell? | 14:45 |
| _mug | can someone recommend a good bittorrent-gui for gnome? | 14:45 |
| vwhydrowv | jimbo, there is no files in etc/stab | 14:46 |
| B-rabbit | hi | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _mug: you mean something like frostwire? | 14:46 |
| fsufitch | _mug: i would have said ktorrent, but that's kde ;) | 14:46 |
| vwhydrowv | etc/fstab i mean | 14:46 |
| Jowi | _mug, transmission | 14:46 |
| fsufitch | it still runs on gnome though | 14:46 |
| xerxes1358 | Is this normal : The Close, minimize and maximize buttons on screens are VERY large and out of proportions | 14:46 |

| B-rabbit | Jack_Sparrow, i just downloaded frostwire just now :) | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 14:47 |
| xerxes1358 | he my installation seems to hang at CONFIGURING APT (scanning mirrors) What to do now?? | 14:47 |
| B-rabbit | Jack_Sparrow, do they have an irc channel | 14:47 |
| stianol | k | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: Have you modified your sources? | 14:47 |
| vwhydrowv | wols, as i just said to jimbo i just looked for files in /etc/fstab and it said no such file or directory | 14:47 |
| fsufitch | so anybody hear my question? i can't run any gtk2 apps (tried gftp, pidgin, xchat, switch2). after a second of loading and possibly launching a window, they crash with a segmentation fault. any ideas? | 14:47 |
| stianol | could someone please help me with configuring a wireless connection in ubuntu 7.10? | 14:48 |
| xerxes1358 | Jack_Sparrow: I have no idea what you are talking about so I guess no. | 14:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | B-rabbit: I would think so.. But I doubt it is very active | 14:48 |
| B-rabbit | ok | 14:48 |
| jimbo | <vwhydrowv> it is the file (have to have the / at the front as well), you said it was mounting but wanted it to mount "statically" | 14:48 |
| th0r | fsufitch check the dependencies...give me a sec | 14:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: Have you ever run a program called Automatix or Envy... both bad ideas.. | 14:48 |
| chymera | one quick question, what does ubuntu use to write on ntfs file systems? | 14:48 |
| wols | vwhydrowv: /etc/fstab is a file. a single file. and if you don't have that file you are not running any linux (or unix) I'd say. are you on windows? | 14:48 |
| xerxes1358 | Jack_Sparrow: no not that I know | 14:48 |
| chymera | that 3g stuff, or the kernel option? | 14:49 |
| evil_kevin | Automatix has some serious bugs.. | 14:49 |
| vwhydrowv | oh ok | 14:49 |
| fsufitch | th0r: how would i do that? | 14:49 |
| stianol | anyone experience with wireless on ubuntu? | 14:49 |
| xerxes1358 | I have nt run any automatix or envy. So what to do next ? | 14:49 |
| wols | chymera: ntfs-3g | 14:49 |
| vwhydrowv | i thought it was a directory, my bad | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | evil_kevin: Automatix is more evil than you.. :) | 14:49 |
| evil_kevin | :) | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list to see your sources | 14:49 |
| xerxes1358 | stianol: I do. I just install ubuntu. Workded perfectly | 14:49 |
| evil_kevin | lol | 14:49 |
| chymera | wols so all ubuntu kernels have write support for ntfs turned off in them? | 14:49 |
| jimbo | vwhydrowv you can edit by gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 14:49 |
| Exploit | hi there | 14:50 |
| fsufitch | th0r: apt-get check doesn't return anything special | 14:50 |
| vwhydrowv | jimbo, im not seeing a uuid for it there | 14:50 |
| wols | chymera: no linux kernel has (working) ntfs write support. ntfs-3g uses FUSE, userspace filesystems | 14:50 |
| bobb13 | hi | 14:50 |
| Exploit | can someone tell me how to create a tar archive and zip it after that? (*.tar.gz) | 14:50 |
| jimbo | vwhydrowv so is it monting or not? | 14:50 |
| bobb13 | anyone can help with firefox - ubuntu problem? | 14:50 |
| wols | Exploit: tar -czvf | 14:50 |
| th0r | fsufitch give me a sec | 14:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | vwhydrowv: HAve you enabled automount of removeable media? | 14:50 |
| stianol | xerxes: I seems like the wlan card is found, but when i try to get the network up I don't get a ip address from the DHCP server.. and using static addresses does not work either | 14:50 |
| chymera | wols, aham ok, I was just compiling a kernel over here and wondered if I'm gonna need the write-support option | 14:50 |
| wols | Exploit: -c creates a tar, -z gzips it | 14:51 |
| xerxes1358 | Jack_Sparrow: Ok I am in. Now what ? | 14:51 |
| stianol | xerxes: and I have installed the server version (no GUI) | 14:51 |
| vwhydrowv | i see the drive in file browser so im assuming its mounting it has unmount option on the drive | 14:51 |

| Kanedacorp | hi, quick newbie question. I have ubuntu installed. If I installed Kubuntu would it replace my gnome environment or appear in the grub menu like a dual boot system? | 14:51 |
| vwhydrowv | i actually have been up all night trying to get this all working | 14:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: shift ctrl-c to copy it and use the pastebin (see channel topic) paste it in there and give us the link | 14:52 |
| wols | Kanedacorp: neither. | 14:52 |
| jimbo | vwhydrowv use ctrl+f to search for the path you see in the browser | 14:52 |
| wols | Kanedacorp: you could run gnome or kde by choosing when logging in | 14:52 |
| th0r | fsufitch not sure how to check it in ubuntu. I have ub on my server, and don't see the dependencies in synaptic. In yast (suse on my laptop) the dependencies are listed for reference. I will pastebin the suse list for you | 14:52 |
| wols | Kanedacorp: both gnome and kde would be installed | 14:52 |
| Jord | i need help with LINUX, i installed it but when ever i start up my computer windows only starts up | 14:52 |
| nomasteryoda | Kanedacorp, it would be an option in the gdm that is there before login to the gui | 14:52 |
| vwhydrowv | the drive is in media/Drobo if thats what your asking | 14:52 |
| Kanedacorp | so I'd get an option at the login screen? | 14:52 |
| belsebubb | is ntop broken in gutsy ? | 14:52 |
| wols | th0r: dependencies for what? | 14:53 |
| Kanedacorp | ah cool, thanks :) | 14:53 |
| vwhydrowv | but in fstab im not seeing any uuid listed there for the drive | 14:53 |
| stianol | someone knows what the wmaster0 interface is? | 14:53 |
| Jord | i need help with LINUX, i installed it but when ever i start up my computer windows only starts up | 14:53 |
| wols | vwhydrowv: of course not. you are supposed to put it there | 14:53 |
| wols | Jord: what linux did you install? and how? | 14:53 |
| th0r | wols he can't run any gtk apps....I suspect libglibc or some such is not right | 14:53 |
| Jord | i386 using ISO | 14:53 |
| wols | th0r: apt-cache will do it | 14:53 |
| vwhydrowv | ok, thats where i was getting confused at | 14:53 |
| wols | vwhydrowv: fstab is a textfile you need to edit | 14:54 |
| th0r | fsufitch there you go...check into apt-cache | 14:54 |
| Kanedacorp | I have compiz fusion and dual screen enabled on gnome, would that need to be enabled seperately if I had KDE as well? | 14:54 |
| th0r | thanks wols | 14:54 |
| bidossessi | Jord, what distro did you install? ubuntu/opensuse/mandrake/... | 14:54 |

| fsufitch | th0r: where's the pastebins? | 14:54 |
| fsufitch | mustve missed it | 14:54 |

| Jord | no, it said install so i did | 14:55 |

| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: Open synaptic and enable all of the sources in there.. you have (almost) nothing enabled) | 14:56 |
| aram | hi | 14:57 |
| th0r | fsufitch so as a start....check 'apt-cache showpkg pidgin' and you will see all the libs that program depends on. I suspect your problem involves a missing or corrupt lib file...something like libglibc or some such | 14:57 |
| Kanedacorp | jord, when I did it, the grub boot manager installed itself on the drive i specified for ubuntu but that wasn't the drive the computer looks to when it boots so it didn't see it | 14:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: It should then ask you to update the sources list .. which is needed... | 14:57 |

| wols | fsufitch: have you tried "debsums"? | 14:57 |

| aram | wols: i want to change my router file i am telneting to router i can see the file with cat command and can i change it with nano? | 14:59 |
| fsufitch | wols: debsums? | 14:59 |
| aram | wols: my router does not accept nano | 15:00 |
| wols | aram: no. you are asking about your router, not ubuntu. when you telnet to another host you aren't running on your local computer anymore. you run on another one. this question (how to edit files on a non ubuntu machine) is off topic | 15:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | vwhydrowv: I would assume something is up with that usb - ntfs partition... you can go to a terminal and type sudo fdisk -l and see what shows up there | 15:00 |

| gurth4ng | kaiousama_: nope, i just realised it doesnt have tooltips for me and i was wondering if i somehow turned them off or if it never had and i just hadnt noticed ;) | 15:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fsufitch: Are you trying to install a newer Pidgin.? | 15:09 |

| bobbob1016 | Jowi, I ran screen in my ssh session, and I figured out the basics, I can't seem to return to the window though. I'm running Azureus on the remote machine, and if I start it in ssh, after running screen, it launches. If I detach, then reattach, I see the terminal output from Azureus, but Azureus closed. I tried it with xmms, and after reattaching, I get an error. Any ideas? | 15:12 |
| kaiousama_ | gurth4ng: no, there are no tooltips over files&folders in nautilus, if you need informations on a specific file you have to select it, otherwise... | 15:12 |
| fsufitch | Jack_Sparrow: i'll try it | 15:12 |
| bobb13 | firefox 2.0.0.11 ubuntu 7.10 working fine except when loading long page (cannot load fully). any idea? | 15:12 |
| Drakx_ | your net connection maybe? | 15:13 |
| blip | bobble3, probably just an issue with firefox, not ubuntu. have an example of a page giving you issues? | 15:13 |
| bobb13 | other browser installed also have same problem | 15:13 |
| gurth4ng | kaiousama_: ah okay, that's what i was looking for. is there a way to add tooltips? maybe through some Compiz extention or..? | 15:13 |
| bobb13 | no internet problem, winxp working fine | 15:13 |
| fsufitch | Jack_Sparrow: that would be libgtk2.0-0? | 15:13 |
| Jowi | bobbob1016, AFAIK screen is for terminal commands. I haven't tried with X apps at all so I don't know. | 15:14 |
| bobb13 | blip: any page with long list, such as country list | 15:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fsufitch: I would use synaptic and see what is installed and work form there... | 15:14 |
| kaiousama_ | gurth4ng: otherwise you can display some file&folder informations below each icon (when nautilus is in icon view mode) by setting menu->edit->preferences->display. But it is probably not what are you looking for. | 15:14 |
| fsufitch | synaptic is a gtk app | 15:14 |

| Jack_Sparrow | fsufitch: This isnt really a ubuntu problem... We use gnome and you are running a "beta" of KDE4 | 15:15 |
| bobb13 | blip: yes. that's good example | 15:15 |
| Jowi | bobbob1016, no probs | 15:16 |

| wietz0r | kaiousama_: do you have any idea ? | 15:20 |
| fsufitch | Jack_Sparrow: no | 15:20 |
| kaiousama_ | wietz0r: open synaptic from system->administration->synaptic package manager | 15:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fsufitch: Running beta software with no backups is not a good plan | 15:20 |
| fsufitch | Jack_Sparrow: the only time i've done backups is when i needed to reinstall all of ubuntu | 15:21 |
| kaiousama_ | wietz0r: and look if there are some broken packages | 15:21 |
| wietz0r | Can't I do that with apt ? | 15:21 |

| joakim- | anybody know if the notification area ballon colour can be changed? | 15:34 |
| shivy | k sorry new to this, ok here goes. I want to create a fileserver. I have this partition ext3 which I want to use to put files. But I dont know if im on the right path. How would you approach this | 15:35 |
| elkbuntu | bAndie91, no PCMCIA card? | 15:35 |
| bAndie91 | no | 15:35 |
| belsebubb | !ntop | 15:35 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ntop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:35 |
| bAndie91 | (i have bought but dont arrived yet) | 15:35 |
| === hoarycri1ple is now known as hoarycripple | ||
| bidossessi | shivy, do you want to share those files with other linux bxes? | 15:35 |
| elkbuntu | bAndie91, do you have another computer around that you could put the harddrive into (2.5"->3.5" are cheap on ebay)? | 15:35 |
| kaiousama_ | bAndie91: are you sure your laptop meets the minimum system requirements for ubuntu? | 15:36 |
| ushimitsudoki | bAndie91: look here if you need a floppy distro: http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/Floppy/ | 15:36 |
| shivy | yupp Linux boxes and windows machines | 15:36 |
| bidossessi | windows: that means samba | 15:36 |
| _ | hellpo | 15:36 |
| bAndie91 | its a special compaqu designed hdd, i cant join to | 15:36 |
| MaxRandor | bAndie91: if you can get the data onto the hardrive you can install using a bootable floppy disk to run the .iso of the hardrive | 15:36 |
| shivy | Could that be done in combination with ext3 ? | 15:36 |
| bidossessi | you can configure a samba server and set your partition as a share | 15:36 |
| shivy | or do I need a different kind of partition | 15:36 |
| bidossessi | shivy, no, it's ok | 15:37 |
| crush_groove | what should fdisk -l show me ? | 15:37 |
| elkbuntu | bAndie91, what model cmputer and harddrive? | 15:37 |
| bAndie91 | MaxRandor: i cant do that for a week :( | 15:37 |
| shivy | So when this certain partition is shared with samba its available for windows users through ftp ? | 15:37 |
| bidossessi | i think there must be a gui tool to setup a samba share in ubuntu. i generally use smb.conf | 15:37 |
| bidossessi | shivy | 15:37 |
| bAndie91 | compaq armada m.... | 15:38 |
| Generic | crush_groove, partition layout on all your disks | 15:38 |
| bidossessi | shivy, not ftp, just normal shared folder, like you would have on windows | 15:38 |
| iblicf | hi , if 'ls -l ' can output the octal format ? | 15:38 |
| bAndie91 | armada 7730mt | 15:38 |
| marshcast | ok - i know i'm harping on a bit, but i'm really struggling with these resolution issues. I thought that the admin account was sorted, but its only the panels that are small - the icons & desktop are still very big. I could really do with some help - the new gutsy displayconfig doesn't detect my card or monitor and keeps sending me to pnp 800x600 - i have to change it manually - but nothing changes. could somebody please give me | 15:38 |
| marshcast | a hand? | 15:38 |
| shivy | The Idea is to get a login through a php script for users....That they have a place after the login to download/reach these files. Either windows or linux users | 15:39 |
| crush_groove | Generic thats what I thought . fdisk -l only shows me my ibook external .. no other drives | 15:39 |
| jp30 | how can I have my Ubuntu recognize my USB stick? | 15:39 |
| bidossessi | shivy. you are trying to set up a PDC? | 15:39 |
| elkbuntu | bAndie91, i'm pretty certain you can remove the harddrive from armadas and connect them using a converter. heck, even walmart may have one of the connectors | 15:39 |
| noto1 | Anyone GOSU with XKB? | 15:40 |
| bidossessi | PDC=Primary Domain Controller | 15:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jp30: Did you check System / Preferences / Removable Drives and Media.? | 15:40 |
| bAndie91 | and from where do i get CONVERTER? | 15:40 |
| marshcast | the information section on the monitor menu says 800x600 even if I set it manually to 1280x1024... it wont change. | 15:40 |
| shivy | I just want to get the best approach ... | 15:40 |
| elkbuntu | bAndie91, ebay or electronics department | 15:40 |
| marshcast | is there any way to go back to my feisty install | 15:41 |
| marshcast | ? | 15:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | marshcast: Is this a laptop? | 15:41 |
| bidossessi | shivy, you want users to login through a login server, right? | 15:41 |
| blip | marshcast, to stop my computer from loading into a specific resolution, I deleted the "bad" resolution in my xorg.config file. | 15:41 |
| bidossessi | linux and windows don't handle login the same way | 15:41 |
| nickrud | marshcast, the only way back to feisty is a re install | 15:41 |
| jp30 | yes, everything is checked, when I plug my USB in , Ubuntu 7.04 doesn't read it | 15:41 |
| shivy | Well I want the files to be protected by login.. and me t have the ability to see who downloads it ... | 15:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: Morning.. :) | 15:42 |
| shivy | Like a secure ftp would be fine too too start off with | 15:42 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, to you also | 15:42 |
| shivy | as long as both window and linux users can reach it | 15:42 |
| LamerUnixowy | hello | 15:42 |
| bidossessi | ok, i see. you are talking about a webserver, right? | 15:42 |
| xerxes1358 | Hello | 15:42 |
| LamerUnixowy | somebody speak in Polish? | 15:42 |
| shivy | Well yeah kinda | 15:42 |
| nickrud | !pl | LamerUnixowy | 15:43 |
| ubotu | LamerUnixowy: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl | 15:43 |
| shivy | im sorry if Im unclear ... Im not really good in explaining lol ;-) | 15:43 |
| marshcast | Jack_Sparrow, no - it's a desktop - ati radeon express, viewsonic va702b monitor... am gutted at gutsy - this has been two days of people giving me a hard time and hours and hours of getting nowhere :( | 15:43 |
| xerxes1358 | I just installed Ubuntu, I have 2 problems I cant install anything. And second my screens look VERY weird Check this out: http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkf7.png | 15:43 |
| LamerUnixowy | dzieki (thx) | 15:43 |
| marshcast | blip, will try that, thanks :) | 15:43 |
| xerxes1358 | Jack_Sparrow: Are you still there bro | 15:43 |
| blip | marshcast, good luck! | 15:43 |
| shivy | Like I have 20 files I want on this server for you to download... only you need a login to get there | 15:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | marshcast: Please post your xorg to the pastebin and give us the link.. Do not paste into the channel | 15:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: I was just about to take a break.. but yes | 15:44 |
| shivy | Now my upload isnt that great but I still want to offer these files without having to upgrade my inernet connection... | 15:44 |
| xerxes1358 | Jack_Sparrow: I have trouble with my screen. Check the link I just posted: http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkf7.png | 15:44 |
| bidossessi | shivy, you have a php script on a webpage that you need to control access to. i you could use an apache auth request for that specific folder. i think you would do that through an htaccess file | 15:44 |
| Ubuntu2 | what kind is it | 15:44 |
| bidossessi | that is if i understood you correctly | 15:44 |
| shivy | kewl,, so that way I could protect the content through a password login right ? | 15:45 |
| shivy | so I just need apache and some tweaking in httpd.conf ? | 15:45 |
| blip | xerxes1358, what's the problem? | 15:45 |
| bidossessi | yes, by setting a .htacces file in the target folder, you could regulate who gets access | 15:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: Pulling it up now... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg .. save that for later... | 15:45 |
| bidossessi | you should look that up in the apache documentation | 15:46 |
| shivy | So would it be smart to symbolically link everything to a specific folder ? | 15:46 |
| shivy | instead of giving access to the real folder ? | 15:46 |
| bidossessi | well, you can use a directory directive in apache, and not have to link anything | 15:46 |
| davina | !xlib6g | 15:46 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xlib6g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:46 |
| nickrud | !info libc6 | 15:46 |
| ubotu | libc6: GNU C Library: Shared libraries. In component main, is required. Version 2.6.1-1ubuntu10 (gutsy), package size 4085 kB, installed size 10120 kB | 15:47 |
| crush_groove | Jack_Sparrow, will xrandr or xrandr --display help marsh ? | 15:47 |
| shivy | kewl.. wow that just gave me a whole big kick in my butt to the right direction Thanx bidossessi ! | 15:47 |
| lassesandberg43 | can anyone help me? im having serious problems with compiz, i got ubuntu 7.10, and under appearences > desktopeffects > custom, even if i disable ALL plugins etc, i can still use alt and mousewheel to change opacity of windows, and it never remembers my settings when i restart, and sometimes forget them as well when i switch between "none" and "custom" in desktop effects | 15:47 |
| bidossessi | welcome | 15:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | crush_groove: Working three problems atm... one sec | 15:47 |
| crush_groove | yes sir | 15:47 |
| bazhang | alt f2 metacity --replace lassesandberg43 | 15:48 |
| xerxes1358 | Jack_Sparrow: its is a INtel centrino mobile card in a laptop I believe its called 945 or s | 15:48 |
| xerxes1358 | o | 15:48 |
| crush_groove | lassesandberg43, do you have flatfile enabled in preferences? | 15:48 |
| bidossessi | what do you know. i just installed ubuntu this morning and i have a pc freeze! | 15:48 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, try system->prefs->appearances fonts tab, window title | 15:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | crush_groove: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is most likely where I will send him after looking at his xorg.. he also may not have his monitor refresh setup... | 15:49 |
| xerxes1358 | Jack_Sparrow: I chose vesa but it keeps asking for memory allocation. Whats common ? 128000 kb ? | 15:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: accept all defaults.. dont change anything | 15:49 |
| xerxes1358 | I cant | 15:50 |
| lassesandberg43 | crush_groove: its the same with or without that | 15:50 |
| xerxes1358 | It forces me to put in a number. I put in 128mb | 15:50 |
| crush_groove | Nodz at Jack_Sparrow ty | 15:50 |
| Berto | Hi, I had a power outage and now have HUGE sound problems. Anything that has to do with alsa freezes. | 15:50 |
| Berto | What's the best way to make sure alsa doesn't start up at all next time so that i can start debugging? | 15:50 |
| Warrior | Morning all. | 15:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: dont write anything to the xorg and try nickrud's suggestion | 15:50 |
| Berto | I took alsa-utils out of startup mode | 15:50 |
| crush_groove | lassesandberg43 have you done compiz --replace cpp & | 15:50 |
| lassesandberg43 | no i dont think so.. should i run that command in terminal? | 15:51 |
| lassesandberg43 | and what does it do :P | 15:51 |
| crush_groove | lassesandberg43, yes | 15:51 |
| lassesandberg43 | okay | 15:51 |
| crush_groove | It resets your compiz settings | 15:51 |
| lassesandberg43 | okay | 15:51 |
| lassesandberg43 | crush_groove: /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'cpp' | 15:52 |
| lassesandberg43 | /usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format | 15:52 |
| lassesandberg43 | <--- it stops after writing that in terminal | 15:52 |
| Strangewor1 | When I attempt to install Opera web browser, the .deb says "failed to install.", why is this? | 15:52 |
| crush_groove | lassesandberg43 come to #compiz-fusion | 15:52 |
| lassesandberg43 | okay | 15:52 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, erm, are you using compiz? I just tried setting font title size thru that and it doesn't work with compiz | 15:53 |
| Aquahallic | Mornin' folks | 15:53 |
| crush_groove | lassesandberg43, that is beyond my knowledge and off topic for this room . ask in compiz . many good people in there | 15:53 |
| xerxes1358 | nickrud: I am not sure to be honest. First linux install. I just finished. | 15:53 |
| playest | hello | 15:54 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, that screenshot window is transparent, so it probably is. Try this: hit alt-f2 , then run metacity --replace | 15:55 |
| bidossessi | so, any link on turning a wireless into an AP in ubuntu? | 15:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: I am curious about the other sources you enabled at your univ.... But I doubt that is where the problem started.. | 15:55 |
| Aquahallic | anyone ever seen Xorg jump to 99% cpu using nvidia legacy drivers? | 15:55 |
| amorphous__ | ok - the screen res thing - even if i take out all other possible resolutions but 1280x1024, it still boots up in 800x600. then i get asked to manually configure at bootup. i choose 1280x1024 & it gives me 800x600 again. radeon is NEVER detected by gutsy's displayconfig, and I'm at a complete loss :( any other offers? please? | 15:55 |
| playest | i have a file on my hard drive and i can't delete it | 15:55 |
| * nickrud *hates* unknown third party repos :) | 15:55 | |
| Strangewor1 | When I attempt to install Opera web browser, the .deb says "failed to install.", why is this? In addition, Opera does not appear in Synaptic Package Manager | 15:56 |
| bidossessi | playest, maybe you don't have the right permissions | 15:56 |
| playest | il try rm -rf and sudo rm -rf | 15:56 |
| xerxes1358 | Jack_Sparrow: I had that problem during install too (The large fonts). What are your default settings for windows title fonts ? | 15:56 |
| xerxes1358 | nickrud: seems to help | 15:56 |
| bidossessi | playest, what is the name of that file? | 15:56 |
| flithm | hey everyone, anyone know where the opengl man pages are? | 15:56 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, ok then it is definitely a theme problem | 15:56 |
| playest | but the error is "the directory is not empty" | 15:57 |
| playest | http://rafb.net/p/37T6pu23.html | 15:57 |
| bidossessi | playest, you have to go recursive | 15:57 |
| playest | errors are in french | 15:57 |
| bidossessi | try -R | 15:57 |
| playest | bidossessi, already try | 15:57 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, now, in a terminal run sudo apt-get install emerald , lets make sure you have the theme manager for compiz installed | 15:57 |
| Shapeshifter | how can I make an usb stick bootable in ubuntu? | 15:57 |
| bidossessi | playest, just run mc and delete it from there then... | 15:57 |
| bidossessi | :) | 15:58 |
| playest | mc ? | 15:58 |
| playest | you mean ms ? | 15:58 |
| nickrud | Strangewor1, opera is not distributed by ubuntu, therefore it won't be in synaptic unless you add a repository that has it (or get it installed, then synaptic can uninstall it for you) | 15:58 |
| bidossessi | no, mc | 15:58 |
| chazco | Hi... if I have /home on a seperate partition how will Ubuntu installer react if only certain parts of an old install are they (e.g. launcher configs)? | 15:58 |
| xerxes1358 | metacity --replace | 15:58 |
| playest | what is mc ? | 15:58 |
| xerxes1358 | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 15:58 |
| xerxes1358 | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 15:58 |
| xerxes1358 | nickrud: ^^ | 15:58 |
| bidossessi | if you do a lot of work in console, you will grow to like mc | 15:58 |
| wols | xerxes1358: something using apt is already running | 15:58 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, close synaptic, or you can use synaptic to install emerald. Only one package manager can be open at a time | 15:59 |
| xerxes1358 | oh yes I am updating the system I believe | 15:59 |
| bidossessi | run sudo apt-get install mc and just run it, it's an ncurses file manager and much more | 15:59 |
| playest | bidossessi, i have to install it ? | 15:59 |
| bidossessi | takes a few seconds | 15:59 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, ok, when the update is done we can continue | 15:59 |
| flithm | hey does anyone here know where the opengl man pages are? | 15:59 |
| xerxes1358 | nickrud: that will take another 1.5 hours I think. | 15:59 |
| xerxes1358 | nickrud: can you tell me what your default settings are for windows title fonts ? | 16:00 |
| pmratpoison | hello, is the proper channel for nicotne+ help? | 16:00 |
| Strangewor1 | nickrud: How can I add the Opera repository to Synaptic? | 16:00 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, heh. You can interrupt the update, it's in the download phase right now. Then pick up where you left off | 16:00 |
| famicon_ | http://myExTheBitch.com/?id=51447ddc | 16:00 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, your choice, of course | 16:00 |
| famicon_ | ho | 16:00 |
| famicon_ | wrong link | 16:00 |
| playest | bidossessi, i'm trying (tring ?) | 16:00 |

| xerxes1358 | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 16:01 |

| xerxes1358 | nickrud: E: Couldn't find package emerald | 16:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: Only one package manager at a time | 16:01 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, still gotta close synaptic, and the update-manager | 16:02 |
| xerxes1358 | I closed it | 16:02 |
| pmratpoison | xerxes1358: close and synaptic or add/remove windows and wait for apt-get and or aptitude to complete | 16:02 |
| bidossessi | playest, have you seen mc? | 16:02 |
| playest | i am dling it | 16:02 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, and the second error, system->admin->software sources , check the first four items and uncheck the cdrom | 16:03 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, packages come from several components, emerald in particular comes from universe. | 16:03 |
| zatic | can someone recommend a cmd line program that gets meta data from video files, like duration, resolution, codec ? | 16:04 |

| chazco | Hi... if I have /home on a seperate partition how will Ubuntu installer react if only certain parts of an old install are they (e.g. launcher configs)? | 16:04 |
| Shapeshifter | my usb stiick wont be mounted automatically for some reason. what should I do? | 16:04 |
| Shapeshifter | how do I mount it manually | 16:04 |
| chazco | zatic - ffmpeg can do that... i think you run it as a dummy run | 16:04 |
| scguy318 | Shapeshifter: check System -> Prefs -> Removable Drives, else | 16:04 |
| bidossessi | Shapeshifter, what does dmesg tell you? | 16:04 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, reading back (I always miss stuff) I usually use 10-12 for title fonts | 16:05 |
| scguy318 | Shapeshifter: pastebin sudo fdisk -l, there may be something with the USB device | 16:05 |
| Arthur37854 | another question. say i download the latest ubuntu os iso image from the net and i transfer that to a cd can i just copy and paste the iso to dthe cd or do i need to do it from a terminal window? to make it bootable. | 16:05 |
| Ereal2 | hey can some one help me my system crashing and hulting all the time? | 16:05 |
| Berto | How do I stop my machine from loading up all my sound modules? I removed alsa-utils from startup | 16:05 |
| bidossessi | Arthur37854, are you on windows? | 16:05 |
| Shapeshifter | If I go to system-prefs-removable devices it takes a few seconds and then tells me "Volume management not supported - the "hald" service is required but not currently running...." | 16:06 |
| zatic | chazco: I already looked thru all options of ffmpeg, any hints? | 16:06 |
| Arthur37854 | no i want to do this in linux | 16:06 |
| kaiousama_ | Arthur37854: if you right click over the .iso image file you have "burn image" option if you are on ubuntu. | 16:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ereal2: That is kind of general... that is not what most of us experience.. Did it ever work? | 16:06 |
| Berto | Is there a way for me to uninstall alsa-utils and alsa-base without breaking a ton of dependencies? | 16:06 |
| playest | bidossessi, doesn't work | 16:06 |
| Arthur37854 | i have a program on my windows comp that will make it bootable | 16:06 |
| nickrud | Shapeshifter, try sudo /etc/init.d/hal start | 16:06 |
| Ereal2 | 610 worked like a charm | 16:06 |
| Arthur37854 | ok | 16:06 |
| bidossessi | then you won't have a problem. if you have burning tools installed, all you will need to do is dblclik the iso and that should start gnome-baker or whatever | 16:06 |
| Strangewor1 | nickrud: Failed to install package 'opera-9.25-20071214.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb, the terminal is also blank | 16:06 |
| xerxes1358 | which font do you use nickrud | 16:07 |
| bidossessi | playest, have you run mc? | 16:07 |
| Arthur37854 | and if i burn image it will be bootable? | 16:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ereal2: How did you upgrade or install your existing system | 16:07 |
| nickrud | Strangewor1, no other text whatsoever? | 16:07 |
| Ereal2 | but since upgradeing to 7.10 | 16:07 |
| playest | yes bidossessi | 16:07 |
| kaiousama_ | Arthur37854: yes | 16:07 |
| Strangewor1 | nickrud: none | 16:07 |
| Ereal2 | nothing but problems bro. | 16:07 |
| bidossessi | playest, what do you see? | 16:07 |
| bidossessi | when you run mc, what do you see? | 16:07 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, I usually use bitstream vera sans | 16:07 |

| xerxes1358 | nickrud: anyways what do I next I closed all package managers. | 16:08 |
| nickrud | Strangewor1, then I don't know what that would be, usually there's at least something, like can't find file, or something | 16:08 |
| === Ttech is now known as W6JCN | ||
| nickrud | xerxes1358, sudo apt-get install emerald , you ran that | 16:09 |
| bidossessi | playest, if you are under X you can select files with the mouse. F8 will recursively delete the file/folder you have slected | 16:09 |
| playest | bidossessi, i try that, it doesn't works | 16:09 |
| xerxes1358 | nickrud: E: Couldn't find package emerald | 16:09 |
| xerxes1358 | Again. I am sure I closed all stuff except this irc screen | 16:09 |
| Strangewor1 | nickrud: Hm, strange, thank you anyways. | 16:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ereal2: Ok, longer boot time... but goes through after less than a mionute... not unusual... and what other problems | 16:09 |
| Ereal2 | well im I the only one ? | 16:10 |
| toni_ | no | 16:10 |
| playest | (maybe i should say "this" instead "that" in the prev sentence) | 16:10 |
| Ereal2 | umm | 16:10 |
| Ereal2 | no splash screen | 16:10 |
| bidossessi | playest, try selecting the file and doing "Ctrl+x c" | 16:10 |
| pmratpoison | Gutsy AMD64 user. Some functions of nicotine+ (installed via add/remove) are not functioning. When I try to "download containing folder" or "User Browse" nothing seems to happen | 16:10 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, ok next is system->admin->software sources , enable the first 4 items, disable cdrom. Close, then run sudo apt-get update , then sudo apt-get install emerald | 16:10 |
| bidossessi | that should open the permissions popup | 16:10 |
| Strangewor1 | nickrud: Well, I am looking for Opera mostly because everytime I run firefox for an extended period of time, my computer hangs, and the only way out is to pull the plug. | 16:10 |

| eckesicle | Is there write support for iPod nano (HFS+) in Amarok? | 16:11 |
| Ereal2 | sorry , | 16:11 |
| wols | salah: sure. mount /dev/sdb1 as /home | 16:11 |
| nickrud | shapeshifter, should have but there was some error on startup. /var/log/syslog might have some info on why | 16:11 |
| Shapeshifter | nickrud: sorry my system locked up. do you know why I had to start hal automatically? | 16:11 |
| Shapeshifter | ah | 16:11 |
| jerg | bonjour | 16:11 |
| bidossessi | playest, do you see a blue background and two panels at all? | 16:11 |
| elda | One that was made for irc in specific as opposed to being one of those "omni" chat programs >.> | 16:11 |
| playest | bidossessi, ok and ? | 16:11 |
| xerxes1358 | nickrud: I updated it Its downloading packages now | 16:11 |
| === FrancoGG_ is now known as FrancoGG | ||

| playest | humm | 16:12 |
| jerg | what's language here ? | 16:12 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, ok | 16:12 |
| salah | wols, now the home directory won't open | 16:12 |
| bidossessi | jerg, english/anglais | 16:12 |
| pmratpoison | jerg: official language is english | 16:12 |
| bidossessi | !fr | jerg | 16:12 |
| ubotu | jerg: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 16:12 |
| Shapeshifter | nickrud: there's nothing about hal in /var/log/syslog | 16:12 |
| jerg | merci | 16:12 |
| Ereal2 | yes I used the live cd to install and yes it was a hdd install | 16:12 |
| nickrud | Shapeshifter, no real clue then. It's happened to me once or twice on bootup in feisty, but never in gutsy | 16:13 |
| dmb | is it possible to get a framebuffer console in ubuntu? | 16:13 |
| playest | bidossessi, yes i do | 16:13 |
| === W6JCN is now known as Ttech | ||
| jerg | http://space-land.fr/parc.php?id=570 thx | 16:13 |
| nickrud | !fb | dmb | 16:13 |
| ubotu | dmb: Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub | 16:13 |
| wols | salah: what is your username? | 16:13 |
| salah | wols, salah | 16:13 |
| wols | salah: so is there a direcotry "salah/" on /dev/sdb1? | 16:13 |
| bidossessi | ok then if you get the permissions popup, you can see/change permissions for the file you are targeting a bit more easily | 16:14 |
| MisterChief | My gutsy gibbon says that it is running in low graphics mdoe, I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and now it says that it failed to start the X server | 16:14 |
| dmb | nickrud: that doesn't seem to work correctly on my video card/monitor | 16:14 |
| wols | MisterChief what videocard and what driver? | 16:14 |
| dmb | nickrud: my native resolution is 1920x1200 | 16:14 |
| MisterChief | What should the X server driver be? | 16:14 |
| nickrud | dmb, a radeon of one type or another? | 16:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ereal2: You should then have a splash screen ... did you check the livecd for errors. or the md5 of the livecd etc? | 16:14 |
| playest | bidossessi, permissions are 40 755 | 16:14 |
| pmratpoison | Gutsy AMD64 user. Some functions of nicotine+ (installed via add/remove) are not functioning. When I try to "download containing folder" or "User Browse" nothing seems to happen | 16:14 |
| dmb | nickrud: yes, mobility radeon | 16:14 |
| bidossessi | playest, chech that you are the owner or have sufficient rights to delete the file | 16:15 |
| nickrud | dmb, welcome to the deprived club, it doesn't work on my 200m either | 16:15 |
| dmb | it says invalid mode for pretty much all of the values i put | 16:15 |
| playest | bidossessi, i'm the owner and the group is root | 16:15 |
| MisterChief | How do I find my video card's bus identifier? | 16:15 |
| salah | wols, anyways, no big deal, i'll reinstall Ubuntu. So I have this disk, full of media files. Any idea where I should mount it? It needs to my home dir disk, since the OS disk is a raptor 34 GB, and this disk also contains all binaries, documents, media files etc | 16:15 |
| Ereal2 | yes I did sir. | 16:15 |
| bidossessi | then F8 will delete the folder/file. if it's not empty, it will pop up a message. just choose the appropriate option | 16:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ereal2: You can also check your /boot/grub/menu.lst to see it if shows splash | 16:16 |
| Ereal2 | it been baffling me why this is... | 16:16 |
| xerxes1358 | nickrud: I am back in an hour so. Thank you so much so far bro. Talk to you soon. Bye | 16:16 |
| playest | bidossessi, dis you look that : http://rafb.net/p/37T6pu23.html | 16:16 |
| MisterChief | Is the video card's bus identifier on the motherboard? | 16:16 |
| playest | did* | 16:16 |
| Shapeshifter | nickrud: Man this log is huge o.ô won't it be trimmed down automatically after some time?! anyway... | 16:16 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, I'll be around today some, but if not ask for help in changing emerald themes | 16:16 |
| dmb | nickrud: i was able to use http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/ before on gentoo, and that worked very nicely | 16:16 |
| josh04 | I have a Compaq laptop with gutsy. If I touch the touchpad when gdm is up at first boot, the pointer jumps across the screen then then whole thing locks up, and the caps lock key starts to flash.

| elda | Looking for a quick opinion.... I'm on pidgin atm, but I am wondering. What is a good GUI based irc client to use? One that was made for irc in specific as opposed to being one of those "omni" chat programs preferably. | 16:17 |
| Thai | set theme murf | 16:17 |
| Ereal2 | could it be a bad hdd? | 16:17 |
| Airbottle | xchat | 16:17 |
| MisterChief | elda: Xchat | 16:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ereal2: No splash and other problems like that are not normal.. did you try to save /home or was this a full wipe the drive and fresh install.. dual boot or any other os? | 16:17 |
| wols | Ereal2: x-chat usually | 16:17 |
| dmb | nickrud: problem is, with all the ubuntu kernel modifications, i'm guessing that patch would never work | 16:17 |
| playest | bidossessi, it say "the dir is not empty, recursivly ? Y/N" | 16:17 |
| MisterChief | I can;t find my video card's bus identifier :S | 16:17 |
| Shapeshifter | nickrud: and I also ahve to run dhclient manually to get an IP everytime I boot.... there's so much messed up in my system | 16:17 |
| eckesicle | elda, xchat | 16:17 |
| wols | MisterChief: it doesn't matter. leave it blank | 16:17 |
| bidossessi | choose yes | 16:17 |
| Enkonto | Hello, world! =) | 16:17 |
| playest | i say yes and the fil is always here | 16:18 |
| Ereal2 | what about xchat? | 16:18 |
| elda | In my experience though X-chat usually hid the user list, is there a way to keep it so it doesn't hide it? | 16:18 |
| javb | hi people, i dont know why, but if i start pidgin gnome freezes! i did 'completely remove' pidgin via synaptic, and reinstalled, but it is still getting the config it was when freezing, i doesnt come clean... what can i do ? | 16:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !who > Ereal2 | 16:18 |
| elda | Maybe I was somewhat spoiled by mirc on Windows but I kind of like having that available | 16:18 |
| MisterChief | elda: xchat can be customised just as much as mirc practically | 16:18 |
| bidossessi | if there are several files in there you should have 'yes|no|all|none|abort' | 16:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | elda: You might want to check out Konversation if you liked mirc | 16:19 |
| elda | kk | 16:19 |
| nickrud | dmb, looks like CONFIG_FB_UVESA isn't set in the ubuntu kernel | 16:19 |
| dwhsix | easy question: is there something I can use to stress-test a disk (either read-only or read-write) to see if it is failing? | 16:19 |
| bidossessi | choose 'all'. i'm reading up on your post | 16:19 |
| MisterChief | Is the video card's bus identifier on the motherboard? I don't want to look in there :S | 16:19 |
| elda | I may try Konversation when I get KDE, for now though Im sticking with gnome | 16:19 |
| bulmer | josh04, those are i/o interrupt problem issues (mine is due to wifi connection attempt) of which I have not found a solution yet | 16:19 |
| Ereal2 | hell yea their not normal bro. | 16:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | javb: You are not running kde4 are you? | 16:19 |
| wols | dwhsix: smartmontools | 16:19 |
| nickrud | MisterChief, lspci | grep -i vga , the first numbers are the bus identifier | 16:19 |
| dmb | nickrud: i think that requires the patch to have that work anyway | 16:20 |
| playest | bidossessi, do you want i translate it ? | 16:20 |
| javb | Jack_Sparrow, no! | 16:20 |
| javb | Jack_Sparrow, gnome! | 16:20 |
| bidossessi | no it's ok, i speak perfect french:) | 16:20 |
| Shapeshifter | dwhsix: you can simply use the diagonsys tool your harddisk verndor provides you. seatools for seagate, hutil for samsung and so on.... | 16:20 |
| playest | ok good ^^ | 16:20 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, also try to look around /sys/devices/system and look around for video chip | 16:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | elda: You can run KDE apps in gnome, but they do load up a bit of kde to work.. | 16:20 |
| nickrud | dmb, missed that step in the howto, you're right | 16:20 |
| elda | Ah oh well | 16:21 |
| elda | I've just stuck xchat on here | 16:21 |
| MisterChief | I can't access the file manager, I'm in low graphics mdoe | 16:21 |
| MisterChief | mode* | 16:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | javb: I had to ask as you are the second person with pidgin problems this am.. he was running kde4 and the update got him | 16:21 |
| playest | bidossessi, i try the evil solution and it works | 16:21 |
| playest | i run windows | 16:21 |
| dmb | nickrud: i might mess around with it later, if i am able to get it to work, i'll write a howto | 16:21 |
| bidossessi | lol, what is the evil solution? | 16:21 |
| elda | woops it double logged me... closing this window | 16:21 |
| playest | run windows | 16:21 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, udevinfo is a command line, maybe you can use it to find the info | 16:22 |
| nickrud | dmb, that would be very nice, I like a pretty framebuffer on my consoles | 16:22 |

| SneakerMB | Newbee here, so sorry if I am asking this in the wrong spot.... Just installed 7.10 and my LCD monitor is washed out like crazy... there is no problem on 6.06 Any ideas? | 17:07 |
| dBarton__ | How do I change the priority of the connection using ifconf | 17:07 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, What error do you get? | 17:07 |
| xerxes1358 | nickrud: I am ready to go bro. | 17:07 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, alt-f2 emerald --replace , do you get the big fonts again? | 17:07 |
| Strangework | kaiousama_, thank you for your support, my friend | 17:07 |
| kaiousama_ | Strangework: yuppi :) | 17:08 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: hold on. | 17:08 |
| nickrud | xerxes1358, working two things at once | 17:08 |
| shaw | Can someone tell me why I can't download Excel 2007 into wine? I have the latest wine, but it tells me that I need a newer windows system. Thoughts? | 17:08 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, There's an error in your fstab file | 17:08 |
| xerxes1358 | nickrud: no I get nice fonts now :D | 17:08 |
| rodolfo | !Git | 17:08 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about git - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:08 |
| dBarton__ | How do I change the priority of the connection using ifconfig? I have tun0 interface, that's somehow is not being used as the first, thus I can not access it. | 17:08 |
| evil_kevin | shaw:is exel 2007 supported? | 17:09 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, change Vagina Gentium to Vagina\ gentium | 17:09 |
| MaxRandor | shaw see what version of windows wine is pretending to be, in the prefereces | 17:09 |
| Strangework | kaiousama_, Ew. I just realized that Dillo isn't very good looking. :P | 17:09 |
| dzb | dBarton__: sudo ifdown eth0 | 17:09 |
| Strangework | kaiousama_, ah well, now we do not need to tackle this issue in the future. :) | 17:09 |
| dBarton__ | dzb: that would put down eth0, but I use it to connect to openVPN, which is tun0. | 17:09 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, the backslash escapes the space, otherwise it is interpreted as the next column | 17:09 |
| kaiousama_ | Strangework: what kind of browser are you searching, a lightweight one? maybe you could try epiphany. | 17:10 |
| xerxes13 | nickrud, sorry was dc'ed for a sec. It seems it works fine now. Should I do anything else ? | 17:10 |
| shaw | MAxRandor, how do I do that? | 17:10 |
| MisterChief | nickrud: I have to go now, should it work when come back? | 17:10 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?0e573dc0af.png | 17:10 |
| Strangework | kaiousama_, An alternatvie to Firefox, which hangs me computer to no end! :( | 17:10 |
| nickrud | MisterChief, you can try a reboot, but looking over that script we did nothing that would affect it | 17:10 |
| dzb | dBarton__: I don't get your problem then... I'm using VPN and I never needed to prim it in any way | 17:10 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: "Vagina Gentium" is the full name of the drive. | 17:10 |
| Strangework | kaiousama_, Preferably a GTK+ one, so it won't stick out when compared to the other windows | 17:10 |
| dBarton__ | dzb: that's openvpn, which uses tun/tap. | 17:10 |
| kebinusan | I installed ubuntu on a new system (amd64) and after I select the kernel to boot the screen remains black until xwindows starts. so I dont get a boot splash or boot progress, any idea how I fix that | 17:10 |
| dzb | dBarton__: same as I use.. | 17:11 |
| MaxRandor | shaw: you should in your applications menu (assuming gnome) have a item called wine clicking on that shows a entry called configure wine, click on that | 17:11 |
| kaiousama_ | Strangework: so epiphany is the way to go if you're on gnome, it uses firefox rendering engine, but is written with GTK+ and is very fast comparedto firefox in starting. | 17:11 |
| dr_willis | kebinusan: disable the framebuffer for a start. thats what many other people have had to do. | 17:11 |
| dzb | dBarton__: what's not working? is no traffic lead over tun0? | 17:11 |
| dBarton__ | dzb: well, I can not access addresses on that vpn network.. | 17:11 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, yes but im pretty sure you need the backslash in your fstab | 17:11 |
| dBarton__ | dzb: I think ye. | 17:11 |
| nickrud | xerxes13, no, you should be fine. You can play with themes at system->prefs->emerald now | 17:11 |
| rodolfo | !Gitk | 17:11 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gitk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:11 |
| dzb | dBarton__: ok, first of all - are you absolutely sure that your vpn is configured correctly? | 17:12 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: ok, and I just enter that line below the last part of my fstab? | 17:12 |
| kebinusan | dr_willis: where do I go about disabling that | 17:12 |
| Zasch | Hello :) I'm trying to install flash, but when I click "Install Missing Plugins", it tells me that the plugin is already installed. What do I do? | 17:12 |
| Strangework | kaiousama_, Heh, I tried it, it works very well. except that it automatically opens links in new windows, and it began hanging my computer, just like firefox. :( | 17:12 |
| dBarton__ | dzb: 200% | 17:12 |
| dzb | dBarton__: ok and you are on client or on server side now? | 17:12 |
| dBarton__ | dzb: client | 17:12 |
| nickrud | !brokenflash | Zasch (look for the text in blue) | 17:12 |
| ubotu | Zasch (look for the text in blue): 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. | 17:12 |
| dBarton__ | I have connected using openvpn... | 17:13 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, try to mount it first with these options before changing your fstab. also make sure you back fstab up | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | kebinusan: in the /boot/menu.lst - You can change the default grub line options. as a test you can append 'nofb' to a grub kernel entry when you boot from the grub (hit e to edit the boot lines) | 17:13 |
| JC_Denton_ | When using windows with vnc I use realvnc and realvnc server to connect to my client. Is there a vnc implementation for ubuntu that allows the server to contact the client? | 17:13 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, you can do it in nano by supplying -B as an option | 17:13 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: here is my fstab: http://pastebin.ca/842765 | 17:13 |
| kebinusan | dr_willis: thanks, yeah Im readnig about it on google now | 17:14 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, i can't seem to load that page it's all blank | 17:14 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: how do I deal with Nano? | 17:14 |
| eckesicle | !nano | FullMon-T | 17:15 |
| ubotu | FullMon-T: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code | 17:15 |
| dr_willis | kebinusan: its just adding nofb to some # line, then rerun 'sudo update-grub' I dont have a Ubuntu box handy to paste the exact line. | 17:15 |
| tssom | how do i go about to make the desktop look nicer? like transparant pannels, floating icons and such? | 17:15 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, quite easy. Just edit the document like you would in a regular text editor. Use Ctrl-O to save the file and Ctrl-X to quit | 17:15 |

| dzb | dBarton__: what does ping 10.0.8.1 brng you? | 17:16 |
| dzb | dBarton__: or 10.0.0.1 | 17:17 |

| dr_willis | Zasch: i recall draging them over to the left side in the file dialog box befor. :) | 17:17 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, that is not your complete fstab. You pasted from nano. Type: cat /etc/fstab | 17:17 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, in the terminal | 17:18 |
| mog | i use ubuntu in dualboot with windows XP but when i choose ubuntu in grub , i have this message "signal over range" | 17:18 |
| medouk | Entrez le texte ici... | 17:18 |
| Zasch | dr_willis: Excellent, that worked too! Thanks! | 17:18 |
| nickrud | Zasch, in the file manager, open the dir you want in places, and bookmarks > add | 17:18 |

| Zasch | Is there any way to make Ubuntu's theme a little more utilitarian? The font and the icons look so big | 17:20 |
| eckesicle | So where is the Vagina Gentium in your opinion? Africa or Scandinavia? | 17:20 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: I'm prone to saying Africa | 17:21 |

This is annoying. How do I fix it. | 17:23 |
| dzb | MaxRandor: dfon't use the NetworkManager! | 17:23 |
| MaxRandor | why not? | 17:23 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: I'm getting another error. | 17:24 |

| guardian | hi, i have an old P4 that runs windows with an onboard promise 376 raid controller. the controller requires a windows driver to work. i installed ubuntu on this box as well. will linux software raid 1 somehow damage the raid 1 "constructed" by the promise 376 windows driver ??? for the moment i just disabled access to those discs | 17:26 |
| ravun | does anyone know if this video card can work with compiz: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter (rev 01) | 17:26 |
| MaxRandor | also I use many different wireless networks at different times so I need a program to manage it. | 17:26 |
| JC_Denton_ | When using windows with vnc I use realvnc and realvnc server to connect to my client. Is there a vnc implementation for ubuntu that allows the server to contact the client? | 17:26 |
| sandr- | ravun, probably will, everything works with compiz haha | 17:26 |
| erUSUL | MaxRandor: Go to System>Admin>Net and disable roaming mode for your card (that's disabling nm) configure the card there | 17:26 |
| tr | iwconfig is quite handy, MaxRandor. | 17:27 |
| MaxRandor | but then I have to change it every time i use a different AP ? | 17:27 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, Apparently it doesn't like the backslash either | 17:27 |
| dzb | MaxRandor: Use Wicd then | 17:27 |
| ravun | I tried to run it but it says no whitelisted driver. I tried SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz and my computer restarted :P | 17:27 |
| tr | MaxRandor: youll get used to it ;) | 17:27 |
| dr_willis | JC_Denton_: in theory allthe various vnc clients should workj with teh various vncservers. They are supposed to auto-negoate the info. | 17:27 |
| tssom | is there a irc channel for playing games(wow) in ubuntu? | 17:28 |
| tssom | i got a alt+tab issue... | 17:28 |
| JC_Denton_ | dr_willis: thanks | 17:28 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: tried it without, now I have 2 errors. How do I save in Nano editor? | 17:28 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, Okay sorry my mistake. backslash space does not work | 17:28 |
| JC_Denton_ | But do you know of a vnc server that allows the user to connect it to a client | 17:28 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: I'm editing out the backslash by hand | 17:28 |
| MaxRandor | I will scare people off linux if I have to do that, there are several people who are begining to be interested If I have to configure wireless on the CLI they will run a mile. :-) | 17:28 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, The line should be | 17:28 |
| eckesicle | /dev/sda1 /media/Vagina\040Gentium ntsf-3g defaults,force 0 0 | 17:29 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, you save in nano by pressing Ctrl-O | 17:29 |

| eckesicle | ikonia, what do you mean i need a space? | 17:31 |
| eckesicle | as in Vagina\040 Gentium ? | 17:31 |
| wols | FullMon-T: fstab is a file you edit | 17:32 |
| ikonia | eckesicle: after the escape chat, eg: /dev/test\ line rather than /dev/test\line | 17:32 |
| MaxRandor | dzb: Wicd is not in the repositories? | 17:32 |

| eckesicle | ikonia, yes but | 17:33 |
| MartianLobster | did anyone see my question during the flood? how can I see the set of all packageswhich have been "apt-get install" 'ed on my computer? | 17:33 |
| eckesicle | ikonia, yes but \040 is the escape for the space character | 17:33 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, not to worry. you didn't press enter before but no problem | 17:33 |
| shadowxp | I can't seem to find the place where i install new GDM themes.. i've tried going to System->Preferences->Themes | 17:33 |
| leo_ | no...cpuspeed is something from the os | 17:33 |
| ikonia | eckesicle: you need \ 040 | 17:33 |
| shadowxp | but it's not there | 17:33 |
| ikonia | eckesicle: not \040 | 17:33 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: I did "sudo su", then "echo /etc/fstab/dev/sda1 /media/Vagina\040Gentium ntsf-3g defaults,force 0 0", then "exit" | 17:34 |
| eckesicle | ikonia, no. Are you sure. | 17:34 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: please stop that | 17:34 |
| Kal | leo_, Aah, you're not talking about speedstep etc :( | 17:34 |
| ikonia | eckesicle: pretty certain | 17:34 |
| nikyta | hey | 17:34 |
| FullMon-T | ikonia: why | 17:34 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: 1.) don't sudo su, 2.) fstab is NOT a dir as you've been told 3 times | 17:34 |
| nikyta | salut | 17:34 |
| ravun | shadwoxp: you have to download the themes then you go to system>preferences>appearance and install or drag/drop themes. | 17:34 |
| eckesicle | ikonia, i dont want Vagina 040 Gentium, but Vagina Gentium. \040 is same as space. | 17:34 |
| nikyta | personne me parle | 17:34 |
| ikonia | eckesicle: I'll leave you to it as I don't follow | 17:35 |
| DIL_ | how can i tell which files in /var/log are "readable" | 17:35 |
| FullMon-T | ikonia: So than how do I correct the command? | 17:35 |
| ravun | shadowxp: you can get good themes from www.gnome-look.org | 17:35 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: device files are in /dev | 17:35 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, type sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 17:35 |
| wols | FullMon-T: and never do such commands when you can't even type the correctly. if you actually did do it you'd got a broken, proably unbootable ubuntu | 17:35 |
| shadowxp | k thanks | 17:35 |
| eckesicle | FullMon-T, now you have the graphical text editor in front of you right? | 17:35 |

| eckesicle | in this text editor I want you to remove any of the lines we might have added. Any line containing Vagina Gentium | 17:36 |
| FullMon-T | eckesicle: right | 17:36 |
| shadowxp | is that for the actual gnome desktop or the login screen? | 17:36 |

| kbrooks | !info ypops | 17:38 |
| AliTarihi | ikonia: i did install it to use it for pop3. | 17:38 |
| ubotu | Package ypops does not exist in gutsy | 17:38 |
| Delvien | is there an app out there to run continuous code in a terminal ? trying to make a terminal look all techie and stuff... lol | 17:38 |

| madmike | sandr-, I invested a lot of time into mencoder... it is pretty powerfull and sometimes the code has regressions from time to time, but for me it was worth it... i reencoded a lot of my DVD-Collection into a Dreamcast acceptable format | 18:10 |

| John_R | yodude: alternate text install or network install | 18:16 |

| Yodude | John_R: i already have the ubuntu iso ( desktop ), can't i use that ? | 18:16 |
| ikonia | Yodude: as I said it's not worth all the effort. It's a wasting time | 18:16 |
| osfameron | do I just install "gutenprint" instead ? | 18:16 |
| John_R | no cdrom? | 18:17 |
| ikonia | Yodude: installer likes 256 - alternative is better as there are no gui requirments | 18:17 |
| vishal | Does any one have any clue on my sound problem? | 18:17 |
| John_R | well, yodude if you can find a way to use the install cd with your machine, it will work. wideo will work too. you wont be able to do anything else while video plays or it will skip, but youtube etc will work | 18:18 |

| mete_ | UltraNav: do you've a virus or spam scanning software on your mailserver? | 18:19 |
| flyingfree | when I cd to a directorty that has an exe in it and then type 'wine setup.exe it gives me a list of directioreis that are not accessbile most winth a windows component to them | 18:19 |

| Yodude | John_R: i can't find a good way to use the desktop iso since there is no cdrom or floppy | 18:20 |
| John_R | uh yeah thats sort of bad | 18:21 |
| Yodude | John_R: i've tried to make a bootable USB install media, but it didn't work, the usb won't boot at any machine i don't know why | 18:21 |
| John_R | wonder if vmware server would run on those specs | 18:21 |
| John_R | hheheh | 18:21 |
| John_R | you can get ubuntu into 128 megs | 18:21 |
| flyingfree | kopete seems to bbe laggin a lot more then gaim did on IRC | 18:21 |
| John_R | that would leave a bare minimum for XP | 18:21 |
| John_R | yodude: you got xp on it now? | 18:21 |
| eckesicle_ | vishal, maybe you can also change it with gnome-volume-control | 18:22 |

| ikonia | astro76: I know | 18:25 |
| John_R | yodude: if you want everything for nothing, right now, im afraid i cant help you | 18:25 |
| John_R | but vmware is free, and it is a workable way to get ubuntu onto that box | 18:25 |
| eckesicle | IngenAning, Okay. I thought it was default. Are you running compiz or not? | 18:25 |
| astro76 | it's not workable :p | 18:25 |
| John_R | and with vmware tools installed, latency will be almost 0 | 18:25 |

| Yodude | ikonia: i would rather avoid using virtualization: UNLESS i can get ubuntu to transfer after that to a real machine | 18:27 |
| John_R | what, 64 megs more? big woop | 18:27 |
| eckesicle | IngenAning, if you have 3d effects enabled you can change it in System->Inställningar->Utseende | 18:27 |
| vishal | eckesicle: what weried is its actually got a sort of double volume control, AMic makes it go really load and when that is low/muted i can still hear it but Mic takes over from there | 18:27 |
| eckesicle | (System->Preferences->Appearance | 18:27 |
| John_R | you can get a 128 meg install of ubuntu into a vm on that box and leave 64 megs for xp | 18:27 |
| ikonia | Yodude: bottom line, that laptop is not a good system to use, even less to use with virualisation, you can accept that or disagree | 18:27 |
| John_R | xp runs in 64 megs | 18:28 |
| John_R | if you want to make the hardware work for you, then do it. otherwise dont | 18:28 |

| John_R | do it to see if you can. experience is experience | 18:29 |

| SchnorrerAlena_1 | *ubnutu | 18:29 |
| Yodude | ikonia: yes but when i saw the xp performance, it's actually VERY acceptable, you can run a lot of stuff on it | 18:29 |
| ikonia | SchnorrerAlena_1: a linux distribution | 18:29 |
| eckesicle | vishal, does the sound recorder use alsa? | 18:29 |
| randorfer | Yodude, look for a distro that uses something like fluxbox / openbox / xfce4 | 18:29 |

| eckesicle | Yodude, xfce is much faster. You can always install regular ubuntu and then do sudo apt-get install xfce | 18:31 |
| isaacj87 | randorfer: Ah. Well, I'm stuck on Feisty...so wouldn't the intel driver I have in my repo be older? | 18:31 |
| speedbird | hi | 18:31 |
| Yodude | eckesicle: i just can't get ubuntu to install | 18:31 |
| ikonia | Yodude: I think we can drop the topic, many people have provided lots of options, it's up to you what you do now | 18:31 |
| speedbird | i need some help guys | 18:31 |
| randorfer | isaacj87 things like drivers are developed independently of a distrubition (totally seperate movements) | 18:31 |
| eckesicle | Yodude, what is the error you get? | 18:31 |
| isaacj87 | randorfer: I see. Thanks for the help :) | 18:32 |
| eckesicle | vishal, sorry. I'm not a sound guy. | 18:32 |
| Yodude | ikonia: ok thanks for your help guys | 18:32 |
| vishal | eckesicle: no problem thanks for trying ;) | 18:32 |
| Yodude | John_R: anyway thanks for your help :) | 18:32 |
| isaacj87 | randorfer: Do I just go into synaptic and install the intel driver? | 18:32 |
| DIL_ | i have ubuntu on a gateway solo that is great - i have another gateway solo that xp chokes | 18:32 |
| isaacj87 | randorfer: I don't have to do anything special?? | 18:33 |
| John_R | yodude: is there a slot on that box for an internal cdrom? | 18:33 |
| eckesicle | vishal: try this first: cat /etc/esound/esd.conf | 18:33 |
| Yodude | John_R: i think there's one for an external cdrom | 18:33 |
| randorfer | isaacj87 um, just check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and make sure the driver is listed as intel not i810 after you do so | 18:33 |
| John_R | ok | 18:33 |
| naknomik | I have a strange problem. In some gnome applications, I can't type anything. I see that there is SCIM icon in the notification area. If I exit that window I can type as usual. I suspect this is something to do with my international setup, but can't figure out what is wrong. | 18:33 |
| sverige | can anyone help me with openoffice and ati card? | 18:33 |
| isaacj87 | randorfer: ah. good advice | 18:33 |
| John_R | np. was going to see if nay of the asstd internal laptop cdroms i have would fit it | 18:33 |
| isaacj87 | randorfer: I'll do that | 18:33 |
| sverige | my openoffice wont start because i have ati card | 18:34 |
| randorfer | isaacj87 any other q's just ask ;-) | 18:34 |
| Yodude | John_R: just help me on this final solution, use a windows partitioner-create an ext3 partition housing the contents of the ubuntu cd-make it bootable-install ubuntu | 18:34 |
| randorfer | sverige really? thats interesting because it starts for most people with ati cards. | 18:34 |
| eckesicle | vishal, also did you select the microphone as input source? That is probably it | 18:34 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| sverige | when i run ooficce -writer it gives me a unknown error and halt the execution | 18:34 |
| randorfer | sverige whats you real questions | 18:34 |
| ikonia | Yodude: you don't need xp to make an ext3 partition | 18:34 |
| ikonia | Yodude: just use the ubuntu installer | 18:35 |
| vishal | eckesicle: yeah i selected microphone | 18:35 |
| eckesicle | vishal, dblclick on volume control in top bar. Go Edit->Preferences | 18:35 |
| speedbird | can anyone tell me how to uninstall beryl | 18:35 |
| randorfer | sverige what is the error? | 18:35 |
| sverige | this is a fresh installation of gutsy | 18:35 |
| Yodude | John_R: isn't that the way many laptops manufacturers use to reformat their systems ? ( like those sony vaios recovery partitions) | 18:35 |
| eckesicle | vishal, Then click in input-source | 18:35 |
| ikonia | Yodude: you can't do that | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | speedbird: How did you install it? | 18:35 |
| Yodude | ikonia: i can't ? | 18:35 |
| ikonia | Yodude: no | 18:35 |
| vishal | eckesicle: there is no input-source | 18:35 |
| sverige | some kind of unknow forking error | 18:36 |
| eckesicle | vishal, close the window and another tab should appear. No? | 18:36 |
| speedbird | don't remember followed some command i found online | 18:36 |
| eckesicle | vishal, what do you have? | 18:36 |
| izanbardprince | yeah, because they have to pay Microsoft a licensing fee every time they burn a CD with Windows on it | 18:36 |
| panosru | Hi! I have a problem with my Ubuntu Gutsy 64bit. When i enter my username & password to login into my system it takes about ~1 - 2 minutes to load. Does anyone knows anything about it? | 18:36 |
| Yodude | ikonia: you mean i can't install ubuntu off a bootable partition ? | 18:36 |
| speedbird | then someone told me i dont need beryl if i dont have gfx card | 18:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !beryl | 18:36 |
| ubotu | Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 18:36 |
| izanbardprince | so they waste half your hard disk with a recover partition instead | 18:36 |
| ikonia | Yodude: you can - but probably not with your hardware and not without a lot of effort | 18:36 |
| sverige | WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit that the error message | 18:37 |
| charles87 | Yodude: I think you can mount the iso image and just copy the image to some partition... | 18:37 |
| vishal | eckesicle: when i got to prefrences i get the window to select what volume bars to add the the control | 18:37 |
| charles87 | that uses the loopback | 18:37 |
| ikonia | charles87: that won't work | 18:37 |
| charles87 | ok, I was not sure | 18:37 |
| charles87 | ^^ | 18:37 |
| ikonia | charles87: the squashfs symlinks are linked to cdrom device files | 18:37 |
| Yodude | charles87: and can i make that partition boot instead of the windows partition ? | 18:37 |
| eckesicle | vishal, yes there should be a checkbox called input source? | 18:37 |
| ikonia | charles87: so you're not using a cdrom so that won't work | 18:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | speedbird: Not knowing what you used or how you installed it makes it tough to uninstall | 18:37 |
| sverige | i know it the ati card because when i take out the card the computer has a buildin video card and it works | 18:37 |
| chazco | When running "tasksel install lamp-server" everything goes well till tasksel freezes... It seems to have finished, just not exited. Ctrl+C doesnt kill it. Any ideas on making it work properly (would like to include it in a script)? | 18:37 |
| izanbardprince | ethan961: logging in as root is dangerous | 18:37 |
| ikonia | Yodude: does your old bios support selective boot partitions ? | 18:38 |
| charles87 | Yodude: you have to configure your bootloader, that's what loads the OSs | 18:38 |
| eckesicle | sverige: did you install the latest ATI drivers? | 18:38 |
| speedbird | i used terminal to install it | 18:38 |
| eckesicle | !ati | sverige | 18:38 |
| ubotu | sverige: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 18:38 |
| speedbird | but i now i cant find it in add remove programs | 18:38 |
| juan | Hi, anyone can tell me how to upgrade to amarok 1.4.8, because i can't compile it from source :S ?? | 18:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | speedbird: Do you know how to post your /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:38 |
| Yodude | ikonia:hehe your gonna laugh at this: the NIOS is locked i don't know the password ( it's my friend's machine he forgot the pass ) and i don't have a floppy to flash the BIOS | 18:38 |
| ikonia | Yodude: ok - so stop wasting time and drop it | 18:39 |
| speedbird | but i dont have any gfx card in my system | 18:39 |
| sverige | i use the restricted driver to install | 18:39 |
| speedbird | jack sparrow : no i dont :s | 18:39 |
| vishal | eckesicle: No input-source there but there is mic select, i have mic1 and 2 but i tried both, no luck | 18:39 |
| sverige | dont know if that install the latest drivers | 18:39 |
| ethan961_ | izanbardprince: sorry, this is only the second day in my life I have used IRC, didn't know that | 18:39 |
| juan | Hi, anyone can tell me how to upgrade to amarok 1.4.8, because i can't compile it from source :S ?? | 18:39 |
| ikonia | juan: if there is not an ubuntu package available, don't upgrade | 18:39 |
| sverige | after using the restricted drivers i can run glxgears | 18:39 |
| vishal | eckesicle: when mic1 is selected i can hear myself talking but not on mic 2 | 18:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | speedbird: It would really help to know what script you used.. If you didnt use apt-get to install it.. apt-get will not uninstall it | 18:39 |
| sverige | so i assume it works | 18:39 |
| Yodude | charles87: i have a C: partition for windows how can i make the other boot instead of it ? | 18:39 |
| juan | ikonia and how do i know that? | 18:39 |
| ikonia | Yodude: what part of "NO" are you not getting | 18:40 |
| sverige | it looks like graphics acceleration is on | 18:40 |
| ikonia | juan: look in the ubuntu repo with synaptic for the version in there | 18:40 |
| speedbird | Alright let me check again | 18:40 |
| juan | ikonia no, it isn't :S | 18:40 |
| ikonia | juan: then there is no package | 18:40 |
| eckesicle | vishal, it is not mic1 you want. You want Capture1 | 18:40 |
| Yodude | ikonia: please don't try to end the discussion because i think i CAN get thr cd to install | 18:40 |
| juan | ikonia so, there are 0 chances to get amarok 1.4.8??? | 18:40 |
| charles87 | Yodude: 2sec | 18:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | speedbird: go to a terminal and type gedit /etc/apt/sources.list then shift copy and paste it to the pastebin which I will link below.. then provide us with a link to view it. | 18:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !paste | 18:40 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 18:41 |
| ikonia | Yodude: your bios is locked so you can't select the boot partition, you can't boot from a cdrom or floppy, what more do you want ? | 18:41 |
| Yodude | ikonia: i already got the cd to transfer to usb and boot, but it's too slow that's why i need another method | 18:41 |
| charles87 | put that to your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 18:41 |
| vishal | eckesicle: there is only mic1 and mic2 on the drop down list | 18:41 |
| charles87 | title Microsoft Windows XP �dition familiale | 18:41 |
| charles87 | root (hd0,0) | 18:41 |
| Yodude | ikonia: i wish it wasn't like that but it's not even my laptop | 18:41 |
| ikonia | charles87: he's not got grub | 18:41 |
| charles87 | savedefault | 18:41 |
| charles87 | oh ok | 18:41 |
| ikonia | Yodude: your wasting time on this | 18:41 |
| Yodude | ikonia: i DO know that tyhe situation seems a LOT locked up and impossibe | 18:41 |
| eckesicle | vishal: open a terminal, type 'alsamixer' | 18:41 |
| eckesicle | w/o the quotes | 18:41 |
| juan | charles87 hey you are trying to fix the boot of windows xp?? | 18:41 |
| charles87 | juan: isn't that what he just asked? | 18:42 |
| eckesicle | vishal, then press tab once. You should now see a few volume bars named capture | 18:42 |
| xerxes1358 | Is there Linux Support for MSN / Yahoo Video and Audio ? | 18:42 |
| eckesicle | vishal, raise the leftmost one | 18:42 |
| randorfer | Yodude, you have a usb dirve correct?? Why not try a one of the usbpendrive linux installs? | 18:42 |
| juan | charles87 well i don't know, i am having the same problem here, is there a solution? | 18:42 |
| charles87 | what's wrong? | 18:43 |
| John_R | yodude | 18:43 |
| John_R | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-ubuntukubuntuedubuntuxubuntu-without-cdrom-drive.html | 18:43 |

| Yodude | randorfer: i did try the ubuntu on stick rtutorial using that isotostick shell script | 18:43 |
| vishal | eckesicle: i think you've got it, master under capture was droppped | 18:43 |
| speedbird | i wrote gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:43 |
| Yodude | randorfer: but no matter what i did the usb wouldn't boot on any system | 18:43 |
| speedbird | and it opened a source.list file | 18:44 |
| speedbird | now what to do with that :( ? | 18:44 |
| eckesicle | vishal, excellent. Unfortunately i don't know how to get it back in the graphical interface. | 18:44 |
| Yodude | John_R: oh the link lol i just saw irt | 18:44 |
| TonKi | speedbird: sudo gedit .. to make changes | 18:44 |
| juan | speedbird are you trying to add repositories to sources.list? | 18:44 |
| eckesicle | vishal, but that's okay because the cool people use alsamixer anyhow | 18:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | TonKi: stop please | 18:44 |
| xerxes1358 | Jack_Sparrow, maybe you know | 18:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | speedbird: go to a terminal and type gedit /etc/apt/sources.list then shift copy and paste it to the pastebin which I will link below.. then provide us with a link to view it. | 18:44 |
| eckesicle | Jack_Sparrow, you forgot sudo | 18:45 |
| eckesicle | Jack_Sparrow, sorry my bad | 18:45 |

| nickrud | speedbird, if you're using pidgin for an irc client, you should install xchat. Any text addressed to you is red and you can't miss it | 18:47 |
| eckesicle | GigaYacht, now you should have a small little applet in your top bar. Click it to get a list of wireless networks. And then connect | 18:47 |
| ikonia | Malik_: default install is about 800 meg | 18:47 |
| ikonia | Malik_: it can run in about 400 | 18:47 |
| ikonia | Malik_: or go into a couple of gig | 18:47 |
| GigaYacht | it says wired internet connection | 18:48 |
| eckesicle | GigaYacht, It may take up to 30 seconds for the program to detect the wireless networks around you | 18:48 |
| Yodude | thanks guys i think i found a good workable solution | 18:48 |
| ruru | Note to Self: Never install ubuntu 64 bit for a home desktop | 18:48 |

| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: I will be leaving to go to the movies soon... speedbird did an install from a script and wants to undo it.. I was going to look at his sources list to try and see where he got it. Assuming the worst.. | 18:48 |
| eth01 | this is ubuntu | 18:48 |
| eth01 | so of course it'll be free. | 18:48 |
| eth01 | geez | 18:48 |

| nickrud | speedbird, sorry that should be /etc/apt/apt.conf.d | 18:54 |
| ikonia | eckesicle: please stop | 18:54 |
| mular | hello guys, anyone know how I would know if I am using the right kernal for my processor (pentium 4) | 18:54 |
| eckesicle | GigaYacht, use man iwconfig for more info | 18:54 |
| speedbird | ok | 18:54 |
| nickrud | speedbird, and when you type to me, be sure to put my nick in the line, it's red and I can't miss it | 18:54 |
| eckesicle | ikonia, big deal. It's the same in ubuntu | 18:54 |
| randorfer | ikonia: what is wrong with giving the general way to connect to wireless lans via the cli | 18:54 |
| ikonia | eckesicle: its not, and the policy of this channel it to not support ubuntu | 18:55 |
| charles87 | mular: did you compile it yourself? | 18:55 |
| ikonia | randorfer: because we support ubuntu in here only. | 18:55 |
| speedbird | nickrud bash: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d: is a directory | 18:55 |
| nickrud | ikonia, not support ubuntu ?? ;p | 18:55 |
| GigaYacht | lo no wireless extensions. | 18:55 |

| eckesicle | ikonia, is the policy to not support ubuntu? ooops. Ill stop then | 18:55 |
| mular | charles87, no I did not just downloaded the generic desktop installer | 18:55 |

| nickrud | speedbird, yes. the command I gave was ls /etc/apt/apt.conf.d | 18:55 |
| eckesicle | !paste | GigaYacht | 18:55 |
| ubotu | GigaYacht: 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) | 18:55 |
| speedbird | ok | 18:55 |
| randorfer | ikonia, and that is a valid solution for ubuntu on the cli is it not? | 18:55 |
| GigaYacht | sorry | 18:55 |
| ikonia | GigaYacht: please take your questions to a mint support arena | 18:55 |
| Goupil418 | Hi everyone | 18:56 |
| charles87 | mular: well your CPU is probably supported then | 18:56 |
| ikonia | randorfer: he's not using ubuntu | 18:56 |
| nickrud | speedbird, ls is 'list' , it gives a file/directory listing | 18:56 |
| mular | I was browsing google and that was one of the tips I read for new ubuntu users on linux.com - said to get the most you should install a kernal out of synaptic | 18:56 |
| ikonia | randorfer: he's using mint | 18:56 |
| charles87 | mular: what CPU do you have? what's wrong? | 18:56 |
| mular | but that post was from 2005 so I am wondering maybe things changed? | 18:56 |
| speedbird | nickrud let me try again now | 18:56 |
| mular | oh nothing really, just the tip said Ubuntu will install a 386 kernal for you, and if you have a p2 or better thats not something you may want | 18:56 |
| speedbird | alright | 18:57 |
| ikonia | mular: the kernels are generic | 18:57 |
| mular | so I was just curious lol, its an outdated post so I assume thats wrong now | 18:57 |
| nickrud | mular, yes, that's old suggestions, the new kernel supports all chip versions now | 18:57 |
| eckesicle | GigaYacht, in the command I gave you replace wlan0 with eth1. The device name is different on your system | 18:57 |
| kbrooks | mular, kernel not kernal | 18:57 |
| mular | ah ok thanks guys :) | 18:57 |
| mular | lol ty ;) | 18:57 |
| Generic | or am I the kernel? | 18:57 |
| ikonia | eckesicle: can we please stop with mint user support please. | 18:57 |
| speedbird | nickrud : its http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50883/ | 18:57 |
| randorfer | ikonia, no, no thats not true kernels can be optimized for different architecures (i386, i586, i686 etc) | 18:58 |
| nickrud | eckesicle, or take it to #eck , support is always nice | 18:58 |
| ikonia | randorfer: they CAN be but ubuntu makes a generic | 18:58 |
| lostsanity | hello, i installed ubuntu two days ago, and i've been able to resolve any issue's i had except i keep getting random freezes and have to restart my computer, i haven't noticed any patterns except that it's always while i'm doing something (anything, using a browser or WINE mostly though), does anyone know what could be happening? | 18:58 |
| eckesicle | ikonia, tomato, tomato. | 18:58 |
| eckesicle | crap, doesn't work when you type it out... | 18:58 |
| ikonia | eckesicle: no - not tomato tomato | 18:58 |
| g-hennux | hi! | 18:58 |
| speedbird | nickrud its just two lines | 18:58 |
| Goupil418 | Hi everyone I'm new to IRC, Linux and Ubuntu can anyone give me a few tips so I don't get lost? | 18:58 |
| eckesicle | hello! | 18:58 |
| charles87 | lostsanity: how much ram do you have? | 18:58 |
| eckesicle | Goupil418, use a map! | 18:58 |
| ikonia | Goupil418: ask specific questions | 18:58 |
| lostsanity | 512 | 18:59 |
| nickrud | speedbird, ok it didn't change your sources apparently. do this in a terminal, dpkg -l '*beryl*' and pastebin the results | 18:59 |
| charles87 | lostsanity: do you have swap? | 18:59 |
| Goupil418 | ikonia: I'd like to start programming | 18:59 |
| lostsanity | swap? sorry i don't know what that is? | 18:59 |
| eckesicle | Goupil418, Take a course in Java at the open university | 18:59 |
| ikonia | Goupil418: pick a book then to teach an appropriate language | 18:59 |
| speedbird | ok | 18:59 |
| DIL_ | the deep freeze has entered the IRC | 18:59 |
| speedbird | nickrud ok | 18:59 |
| nickrud | speedbird, and if you could remember where you got the script .... | 18:59 |
| charles87 | lostsanity: swap is used to transfert programs that takes too much space into RAM | 18:59 |
| charles87 | lostsanity: this is just like a partition | 18:59 |
| g-hennux | where does ubuntu store the ladspa plugins? i have a asoundrc file from gentoo where it says 'path "/usr/lib/ladspa"' in it, but this seems not to be true for my ubuntu | 19:00 |

| eckesicle | lostsanity, type: cat/etc/fstab | grep swap | 19:00 |
| speedbird | nickrud no i dont :( | 19:00 |
| eckesicle | what do you see? | 19:00 |
| nickrud | speedbird, do you still have the script? | 19:00 |
| eckesicle | oops wrong wrong wrong | 19:00 |
| eckesicle | lostsanity, should be: cat /etc/fstab | grep swap | 19:00 |

| fantum13 | Hello, would anyone be able to help me troubleshoot DHCP on my wireless? I'm using an AR5007EG with ndiswrapper in amd64 7.10. | 19:01 |
| eckesicle | excellent. So you do have swap | 19:01 |
| nickrud | speedbird, that helps a lot. system->admin->synaptic, let me know when it's open | 19:02 |
| charles87 | lostsanity: open a terminal and type in "top" | 19:02 |
| eckesicle | !anyone | fantum13 | 19:02 |
| Goupil418 | ikonia: cool thanks! I'd also like to know more about the files formats and conversion of files like movies, audio and flash on firefox | 19:02 |
| ubotu | fantum13: 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? | 19:02 |
| DIL_ | !python | Gouipil418 | 19:02 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about python - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:02 |
| Iolaus | Hey all, can anyone tell me if there are repositories that maintain more bleeding edge packages for things like x.org, alsa, mesa, etc or is the only way to test them to build them from source? | 19:02 |
| randorfer | fantum are you running the 64 bit kernel? | 19:02 |
| charles87 | lostsanity: look for resource hungry processes | 19:02 |
| speedbird | nickrud its open now | 19:02 |
| fantum13 | randorfer: Yes, I am. I'm also using a 64-bit windows driver in ndiswrapper. I've gotten it to work previously with the same setup, but I'm not sure what exactly happened to cause that, and now it isn't working again. | 19:03 |
| eckesicle | Goupil418, but if you want to learn programming look for a course that seems to fit your needs and wants at the local university or online at the open university | 19:03 |
| nickrud | speedbird, on the lower left there's some buttons, press the one that says Status | 19:03 |
| Goupil418 | DIL_: hi ^_^ | 19:03 |
| indigo196 | I am looking for guidance on a boot problem with Ubuntu 64bit. The system will not boot unless I remove quiet and splash from the Grub Menu.list | 19:03 |
| Fuse1921 | Anybody happen to know if the Dell XPS Gen 4 desktop is compatible with Ubuntu? | 19:03 |
| Goupil418 | eckesicle: I want to start a new OS ^_^ | 19:03 |
| indigo196 | I am curious as to why this would be the case when I have no issues with this using Fedora or SUSE | 19:03 |
| speedbird | nickrud ok now i m in status | 19:03 |
| nickrud | speedbird, upper left, there's Installed (local or obsolete) , select that | 19:04 |
| eckesicle | Goupil418, Do you have ubuntu now? | 19:04 |
| randorfer | fantum13: yeah sorry I was going to give advice but it is 32bit specific (patched atheros driver -- not available for 64bit yet), I've never delt with the 64 bit problems | 19:04 |
| lostsanity | ok.. Xorg and konversation are at the top | 19:04 |
| Goupil418 | eckesicle: yep update and running | 19:04 |
| eckesicle | Goupil418, excellent. Mission accomplished | 19:04 |
| lostsanity | nothing seems to stand out too much though? | 19:04 |
| speedbird | nickrud ok selected now | 19:04 |
| Iolaus | Can anyone tell me if there are repositories that maintain more bleeding edge packages for things like x.org, alsa, mesa, etc or is the only way to test them to build them from source? | 19:04 |
| Goupil418 | eckesicle: I love the open source over here it's great | 19:05 |
| nickrud | speedbird, do you see the same packages on the right that is in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50884/ | 19:05 |
| charles87 | Iolaus: try compiling from source ;) | 19:05 |
| eckesicle | !backports | Iolaus | 19:05 |
| ubotu | Iolaus: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 19:05 |
| mular | man ubuntu's support really rocks, I just compiled my first program from source with help of the forums.... so nice to be able to do this stuff on your own :) | 19:05 |
| speedbird | nickrud let me check | 19:05 |
| gob1029 | hey all, i've got a quick question regarding running a script on start-up | 19:06 |
| cvasilak | anybody having an atheros 5418 chipset and how he make it work under ubuntu. i tried the latest svn madwifi drivers it loads successfully but cannot associate with the wireless access point so dhclient canot acquire an ip address | 19:06 |
| Iolaus | eckesicle: thanks for the info | 19:06 |
| corinth | I have a buddy who wants a script he created to run on startup. He needs su permissions for this, though. How can he set it to run at startup with su permissions? | 19:06 |
| eckesicle | Goupil418, indeed. If you want to learn your system well. Hang around here. Listen to what people say. Try to help other people. Join the forums. Start writing your own scripts. For instance, maybe you want to have a smart system that backups your home folder every night? How would you do that? Google and find out! | 19:06 |
| mular | whenever you compile something from source, I thought you should always move the original stuff that you extract from the .tar over to /usr/src ? Also to be able to remove it again later I should save all that stuff in there right? (installed via checkinstall | 19:06 |
| Fuse1921 | Can anybody asist with installation at all? | 19:07 |
| speedbird | nickrud : now its just delugue torrent and easy ubuntu | 19:07 |
| eckesicle | Iolaus, you're welcome | 19:07 |
| indigo196 | I am looking for guidance on a boot problem with Ubuntu 64bit. The system will not boot unless I remove quiet and splash from the Grub Menu.list | 19:07 |
| nickrud | mular, I usually have a src dir in my home dir, do all my compiling there | 19:07 |
| sverige | can anyone help me get openoffice work with ati card? | 19:07 |
| eckesicle | Fuse1921, installation of ubuntu? | 19:07 |
| nickrud | speedbird, oh, you installed easyubuntu !! | 19:07 |
| Goupil418 | eckesicle, ahhh that's really good thanks for the info ^_^what is the forums www? | 19:07 |
| === FullMon-T is now known as Mexicant | ||
| eckesicle | sverige, did it not work with the new drivers? | 19:07 |
| eckesicle | !forums | Goupil418 | 19:08 |
| ubotu | Goupil418: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. | 19:08 |
| mular | nickrud, ah thats a good idea so that way you don't have to use sudo.. so if I was to move my src folder I would still be able to remove the programs down the road ? | 19:08 |
| KotBehemot | hello | 19:08 |
| KotBehemot | i have a problem with ubuntu | 19:08 |
| speedbird | nickrud yeah i did .. and honestly don't know what it is :p | 19:08 |
| KotBehemot | i can' see alsaconf | 19:08 |
| KotBehemot | ? | 19:08 |
| sverige | which one are you talking about the restricted drivers or the drivers from ati homepage? | 19:08 |
| Mexicant | How do I identify the (hdx,y) of my harddrive? | 19:08 |
| Goupil418 | eckesicle, nice thanks ^_^ | 19:08 |
| nickrud | mular, yes, if the developer created an uninstall option for make, so you'd change into the dir you compiled in then run sudo make uninstall | 19:08 |
| ssorel | x is equal to the partition number | 19:09 |
| mular | thanks nickrud ! | 19:09 |
| ssorel | So if windoze is the beggining then its lets say hda1 | 19:09 |
| mular | does moblock work with firestarter? | 19:09 |
| Fuse1921 | ecksicle: yes, i have the image burned onto a disk, i have tried both the Live CD and the Alternate CD. I put it in my drive, press the right 'F' key on startup to get to the boot menu, and when i select my boot from Onboard CD Drive it says theres no media. It only happens with Ubuntu. I have succesfully done it with Fendora though. | 19:09 |
| ssorel | And your second partition is maybe linux swap hda2 | 19:09 |
| randorfer | cvasilak if no one has helped you you could try /join #madwifi , they may be able to help you better | 19:09 |
| ssorel | and your / <--root partition maybe hda3 | 19:09 |
| lostsanity | well like i said nothing really stands out as far as resource usage.. | 19:09 |
| eckesicle | Fuse1921, did you download the LiveCD? | 19:10 |
| nickrud | speedbird, it's a thing that helps you install stuff, you may have used that to install beryl. But anyway, if you don't see beryl there , do sudo apt-get update , and pastebin that. It'll show some more info about your repos | 19:10 |
| corinth | How can I set a program/file to run at startup with su permissions? | 19:10 |
| Arelis_ | Does anybody know how i can get the OLD version of Flash? Konqueror doesn't support the new one. | 19:10 |
| Fuse1921 | eckesicle: it works in a VMware boot but not at start-up, I'm totally stuck. | 19:10 |
| randorfer | KotBehemot you cant see alsaconf? did you try locate alsaconf (after sudo updatedb) | 19:10 |
| Goupil418 | eckesicle, so what is the best programming language to start an OS or just to modify one? | 19:10 |
| speedbird | nickrud : ok hold on doing it now | 19:10 |
| eckesicle | Goupil418, C or C++ | 19:11 |
| KotBehemot | randorfer: yeah | 19:11 |
| corinth | Arelis_, If you wait 6 days for KDE 4.0, the new konqurer supports it :-P | 19:11 |
| KotBehemot | randorfer: and there is no alsaconf | 19:11 |
| Mexicant | How do I identify the (hdx,y) of my harddrive? And if it is a SATA, would it be sda1? | 19:11 |
| Goupil418 | eckesicle, is it hard to learn? | 19:11 |
| Rezagrats | With Gutsy Gibbon do i have to modify the GRUB thing for dual-boot ? | 19:11 |
| Arelis_ | corinth: KDE 4 is 4.0.0 and very incomplete. | 19:11 |
| corinth | Arelis_, I know, I know. | 19:11 |
| Arelis_ | corinth: the official developers are saying that | 19:11 |
| aram | can anyone help how can i install traceroute package for terminal | 19:11 |
| eckesicle | Fuse1921, Did you check so that the CDROM is not corrupt? | 19:11 |
| ssorel | MexicanT | 19:12 |
| ssorel | It would be sda | 19:12 |
| eckesicle | Goupil418, well have you done any programming? | 19:12 |
| randorfer | KotBehemot, hmmm, sudo apt-get alsa-utils (I think thats the buntu package) | 19:12 |
| Arelis_ | corinth: and i am not using hardy.. | 19:12 |
| ssorel | sda1 <-- partition one of SATA drive | 19:12 |
| Arelis_ | corinth: any other solution, though? :) | 19:12 |
| ssorel | sda2 | 19:12 |
| ssorel | sda3 | 19:12 |
| ssorel | ETC | 19:12 |
| Rezagrats | Also whats the name for the thing i can windows programs in ? | 19:12 |
| Goupil418 | eckesicle, I tried but I failed | 19:12 |
| KotBehemot | randorfer: but it is installed | 19:12 |
| ssorel | rez + wine | 19:12 |
| ssorel | Rezagrats its wine | 19:12 |
| Rezagrats | Oh | 19:13 |
| ssorel | the windows emulator | 19:13 |
| dn4 | www.maps.google.com will now show anything any ideas? | 19:13 |
| randorfer | KotBehemot, if you cant find it with locate after doing sudo updatedb then its not on you system? | 19:13 |
| speedbird | nickrud : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50887/ | 19:13 |
| Fuse1921 | eckesicle: I ran the Check Integrity thing within my VMPLayer and it said it was fine, but is there a diffrent way just to double check? | 19:13 |
| eckesicle | Goupil418, it's not easy. I learned C++ in 3 weeks on my own with the help of a book I bought. But you learn new things every day | 19:13 |
| randorfer | KotBehemot it should be located in /sbin/ | 19:13 |
| redspike | can i upgrade to a newer kernel i ubuntu 6.06 ? | 19:13 |
| KotBehemot | randorfer: yeah it is not but synaptics says that i have installed alsa-utils | 19:13 |
| eckesicle | Goupil418, I recommend buying a book or taking a class | 19:13 |
| Rezagrats | With Gutsy Gibbon do i have to modify GRUB for dual-boot ? is it necessary ? | 19:13 |
| randorfer | KotBehemot it should be located in /usr/sbin/* | 19:13 |
| Mexicant | ssorel, i have 1 SATA, and I am editting the /boot/grub/menu.lst. How would I enter the sda into the boot menu? | 19:13 |
| KotBehemot | randorfer: one sec | 19:13 |
| aram | can anyone help how can i install traceroute package for terminal | 19:13 |
| Mexicant | join #grub | 19:13 |
| Mexicant | sry | 19:13 |
| Goupil418 | eckesicle, that's nice! I'll do for sure I just need to know where to take a class because I don't know exactly where to start in programming | 19:14 |
| ssorel | yes, you can rez. | 19:14 |
| ssorel | However it should usually be done automatically with gutsy | 19:14 |
| ssorel | Didnt show up on bottom of grub list? | 19:14 |
| nickrud | speedbird, it looks like you have the standard stuff. Do COLUMNS=255 dpkg -l '*beryl*' | 19:14 |
| eckesicle | Fuse1921, it does not seem to be an error with ubuntu if it says media not present. | 19:14 |
| nickrud | speedbird, and paste that | 19:14 |
| Kleggen | aram: sudo aptitude install traceroute | 19:14 |
| speedbird | nickrud ok | 19:14 |
| corinth | No one knows how to get a program to run with su permissions at startup? | 19:15 |
| aram | Kleggen: thanks a lot | 19:15 |
| eckesicle | Goupil418, your local college or university will definitely offer courses. MIT has several programming courses online. But buying a book is probably the easiest way | 19:15 |
| Fuse1921 | eckesicle: thanks anyway | 19:15 |
| Arelis_ | corinth: any other solution, though? :) | 19:15 |
| randorfer | corinth put it into the init scripts? | 19:15 |
| eckesicle | corinth, put it in startup scripts | 19:15 |
| batoms | when i plug in my medial player (iriver s10) it shows up in nautilus but i get an access denied error | 19:15 |
| batoms | it doesn't show up in /media | 19:15 |
| corinth | eckesicle, A small walk-through, please? | 19:16 |
| batoms | i'm in the plugdev group already | 19:16 |
| speedbird | nickrud : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50888/ | 19:16 |
| Goupil418 | eckesicle, yeah I'm better at reading than going to classes everyday | 19:16 |
| Goupil418 | eckesicle, do you know if there's a good website for learning C and C++? a complete one? | 19:17 |
| eckesicle | !initd | corinth | 19:17 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about initd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:17 |
| nickrud | speedbird, according to that you have only ubuntu stuff (should have done this a while ago, got locked into the idea that the script downloaded from somewhere else) For sure, do apt-cache policy beryl , and pastebin that | 19:17 |
| corinth | Heh. Nice try :-P | 19:17 |
| arizalord | last ATI driver is by default in restricted controlers? | 19:17 |

| corinth | randorfer, eckesicle, Worked, thanks! | 19:27 |
| charle | buona sera | 19:27 |
| ZiNC2^6 | Palthron: I'm not familiar with Ubuntu at all, but it sound exaggerated either way. I suppose splitting from and to the same drive if you don't have DMA enabled for the HDD can take quite a while, but not 3 hours. | 19:27 |
| eckesicle | corinth, you're welcome | 19:27 |
| nickrud | speedbird, based on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50888/ , the ones starting with ii are installed | 19:27 |

| fantum13 | kbrooks: How is it piracy discussion to ask if its possible to run OS X on a non-apple computer? | 19:43 |
| orionjoe | is there a key command for it? | 19:43 |
| Palthron | Zinc : Yes, figured that out a while ago. But in my case, hdb1 (Primary slave) | 19:43 |
| Ben | piracy? who said its pirated? | 19:43 |
| kbrooks | fantum13, it is illegal to run Mac OS X on a PC last i heard | 19:43 |
| mavi- | no its not | 19:43 |
| ZiNC2^6 | Palthron: Well, the general idea. :) | 19:43 |
| unknown512 | I cant get to the desktop on Ubuntu, the Startx command will not work, i installed without using a disk | 19:43 |
| randorfer | fantum13 ben it is against the eula of mac to do so, thus illegal | 19:43 |
| Thorsten11 | Hi all, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I am running server 7.10 and just bought a samsung ml 2510. I have no idea why i cannot get this printer to be recognized in webmin, anyone have an idea? | 19:43 |
| Flare183 | orionjoe: ctl + escape i think | 19:43 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | how can i setup PDF printer its not listed even thought i installed cups-pdf | 19:44 |
| Ben | so its legal to run xp on mac? | 19:44 |
| nuckinfuts | eckesicle, it sent me to a small bash that didnt have my keyboard driver loaded yet | 19:44 |
| Flare183 | Ben: yeap | 19:44 |
| kbrooks | Ben, it's legal to, yes | 19:44 |
| orionjoe | no, didn't work... | 19:44 |
| randorfer | ben yes it is because the xp eula is ok with that | 19:44 |
| fantum13 | kbrooks: Do you call piracy on anyone who tries to run XP in a virtual machine? That's "illegal" too. | 19:44 |
| Flare183 | Ben: but not the other way around | 19:44 |
| mavi- | anyway, installing osX is probably a topic for the OT channel | 19:44 |
| kbrooks | fantum13, not illegal | 19:44 |
| Ben | ok well i'll just scratch that idea lol | 19:44 |
| unknown512 | I cant get to the desktop on Ubuntu, the Startx command will not work, i installed without using a disk | 19:44 |
| randorfer | fantum13, no because that is not illegal, ie not against the eula | 19:44 |
| Flare183 | unknown512: gdm | 19:44 |
| Ben | ok so i have another question about grub anyway | 19:44 |
| Palthron | All DMA active, so i guess i'll try some other splitter software (or upgradeeee) | 19:44 |
| orionjoe | because my comp froze earlier and i had to shut it down | 19:45 |
| unknown512 | gdm? | 19:45 |
| osfameron | right... I'm opening gui applications from xubuntu launcher menus... and they aren't opening. What should I check out to work out why? | 19:45 |
| eckesicle | nuckinfuts, haha. man, that's shit. You don't have a generic keyboard... | 19:45 |

| kbrooks | eckesicle, dont abuse the bot please | 19:45 |
| Ben | so i already have xp and ubuntu dualbooting... I dont like how grub is so plain and would like a more graphical version. Is there one? and if so I dont know how to change the default booting os | 19:45 |
| puff | Every now and then, my alt-tab stops working. | 19:45 |

| unknown512 | I installed gnome | 19:46 |
| Palthron | Zinc : 4.6GB, beyond the FAT32 boundaries. But i'm using ext3 | 19:46 |
| eckesicle | kbrooks, :) Says Mr. I think Grub is piracy | 19:46 |
| randorfer | Ben: you can add splash images etc ... | 19:46 |
| unknown512 | when i run the startx command it says im missing a directory | 19:46 |
| orionjoe | so is there a way to access GDM when your comp is frozen? | 19:46 |
| Ben | randorfer: really? | 19:46 |
| ZiNC2^6 | Palthron: So my current idea would be that software having trouble with >4GB files. | 19:46 |
| kbrooks | eckesicle, running grub is not pirating | 19:46 |
| eckesicle | nuckinfuts, yeah it's probably faster than any workaround | 19:46 |
| NelsonUWP | can I change partition size? | 19:46 |

| eckesicle | nuckinfuts, maybe try modprobe vesa ? | 19:48 |
| nuckinfuts | eckesicle, i thought it was called VESA, but the forum says pixx | 19:48 |
| unknown512 | It says im missing the directory /etc/X11/X whenever i try to run the startx command | 19:48 |
| JC_Denton_ | scguy318: it's because of both being behind a router and only one being configured properly - the client side | 19:48 |
| nuckinfuts | eckesicle, piix* | 19:48 |
| ZiNC2^6 | Palthron: Never used it on Linux, but there's a binary for it, apparently. And you can set compression to "Store", then just use it as a splitter. | 19:48 |
| Palthron | Zinc : erm... from rarlab? | 19:48 |

| jinxed- | eckesicle, it didn't give any errors through it just ran and nothing happened | 19:58 |
| randorfer | MisterChief, Xorg -configure should have told you that it made a file (probably in ~/xorg.conf.new ) you need to move that file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:58 |
| eckesicle | jinxed okay then ubuntu does not detect your nvidia graphics cards | 19:58 |
| MisterChief | randorfer: done that | 19:59 |

| TechRavingMad | I'm having an issue with a 7600GS install and using the nvidia drivers, I've tried everything including envy | 20:04 |

| NaNO2x | hello, i'm having an issue with my cd/dvd drive not being able to read anything at boot time and now not being able to read some things while started up, i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction? | 20:05 |
| jinxed- | TigranG, I am trying to fix my resolution... when i tried to use Nvidia to configure settings i got this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50894/ | 20:05 |
| MisterChief | randorfer: Gtk warning: cannot open display: | 20:05 |
| jinxed- | well fix resolution and get Twinview (dual monitor) working | 20:05 |
| randorfer | misterchief sigh alright then back to ground one lol | 20:05 |
| Skitt | lostsanity, they shouldn't be any differences, 64 needs sometimes some extra care if you have to install 32bit things (eg flash) | 20:05 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | eckesicle: ok so i added this in cups control panel as a printer where does the file go? | 20:05 |
| eckesicle | jinxed-, did you follow instructions at ubuntuforums about dual moniors? | 20:05 |
| randorfer | misterchief have you ever looked at a xorg.conf file before ? | 20:05 |
| ben | How do I disable cube-rotate when scrolling the mouse-wheel on the desktop | 20:06 |
| ben | ? | 20:06 |
| RyanPrior | NaNO2x: I had that problem with my laptop recently and it turned out that my motherboard was going bad. It's probably a hardware issue if it's unable to read things at boot time. | 20:06 |
| eckesicle | UBUNTUISLOVED, what file? | 20:06 |
| TechRavingMad | I'm working on just a single monitor | 20:06 |
| nuckinfuts | eckesicle, heh out of ideas too? =P | 20:06 |
| jgoo | what-ho chaps. Blender 2.44 crashes with graphical glitches when I create a camera. #blender says upgrade to 2.45, which I did. It still crashes. Also the top menu shows through the top menu of the blender app (the network box etc) - should I disable... 3d desktop in gnome?? halpz! | 20:06 |
| jinxed- | eckesicle, yeah thats how I ended up with the error that i copied the url to in the pastebin | 20:06 |
| kaed | Bonsoie | 20:06 |
| NaNO2x | motherboard...GAH | 20:06 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | the pdf i printed? its not under /home/jason nor /home/jason/PDF | 20:06 |

| nekohayo | hey there, anyone knows how to change the keyboard layout used in the TTY consoles? | 20:06 |
| eckesicle | UBUNTUISLOVED, in console type lp -d PDF filename | 20:06 |
| nekohayo | kaed: il y a #ubuntu-fr :) | 20:06 |
| RyanPrior | jgoo: If disabling 3d desktop works, do it. Compiz is still considered somewhat experimental, and it is not nearly as mature and stable as Metacity. | 20:06 |
| eckesicle | jinxed-, okay | 20:06 |
| NaNO2x | i figured it was a hardware issue, what about the issue of not reading things while booted, specifically recently it was a dvd | 20:07 |
| jgoo | RyanPrior: what is the cleanest way? I have ccsm installed | 20:07 |
| RyanPrior | What is a good MP3 player for compatibility with Ubuntu and free formats like Ogg and FLAC? | 20:07 |
| eckesicle | nuckinfuts, did it not work to copy propriatary drivers on flash? | 20:07 |
| TigranG | jinxed-: you have the nvidia driver installed tho? | 20:07 |
| randorfer | Misterchief try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 20:07 |
| jinxed- | TigranG, yes i believe so | 20:07 |
| RyanPrior | jgoo: Go in your desktop effects menu and disable the desktop effects there. Your desktop will automatically revert to Metacity. | 20:07 |
| jinxed- | there is a check in the restricted drivers | 20:07 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | eckesicle: No such file or directory | 20:07 |
| tofaffy | My jump drive's mount point has a lock symbol on it...so when I try and change the permissions by right clicking and going to Properties>Permissions it says I can't change it because it's a read only disk... | 20:08 |

| jgoo | desktop effects menu brings up ccsm I think | 20:08 |
| tofaffy | How do I fix that? | 20:08 |

| Lr5___ | Anyone knows how to solve bad sound quality in the nonfree flash plugin? | 20:08 |
| Nirevus | A friend of mine is trying to install Ubuntu from the LiveCD onto a fairly old machine with an IDE hard drive. The first time, it booted up to the desktop, he begun the installation and choose to format the whole disk. During the "setting up file systems" operation it errored and told him it was unable to setup file systems. He restarted to start from scratch, at which pointed it started giving him hundreds of errors like these: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com | 20:08 |
| Nirevus | /3309/ | 20:08 |
| TigranG | jinxed: well, paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 20:08 |
| Nirevus | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3309/ | 20:08 |
| RyanPrior | jgoo: Bring up the Visual Effects menu under Appearance. | 20:08 |
| MisterChief | randorfer: "Attempt to autodetect video hardware?" | 20:08 |
| randorfer | yes | 20:08 |
| jgoo | aaah ok RyanPrior, that worked, I was using the advanced effects menu item | 20:08 |
| TigranG | jinxed-: I'll try to get your resolution fixed and then you can try getting dualview set up again | 20:08 |
| RyanPrior | jgoo: Now try Blender again and see if it's fixed. | 20:08 |
| eckesicle | UBUNTUISLOVED, do you not have cups installed? | 20:09 |
| jinxed- | TigranG, sounds good | 20:09 |
| MisterChief | randorfer: should the X server driver be ati? | 20:09 |
| jinxed- | TigranG, would it be easier for you if I just gave you remote acess to my computer? | 20:09 |
| trx | Nirevus, I'd say it looks like the drive is on the way out / IDE cable dodgey | 20:09 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | i reach cups fine through localhost:631 | 20:09 |
| randorfer | MisterChief do you have an ati card (if so yes) | 20:09 |
| eckesicle | UBUNTUISLOVED, filename is supposed to be the file you want to print to pdf btw | 20:09 |
| TigranG | jinxed-: no need to | 20:09 |
| eckesicle | PDF the name of the printer you added | 20:09 |
| jgoo | RyanPrior: oh noes. still crashes | 20:09 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | eckesicle: understand but get error | 20:09 |
| jinxed- | TigranG, ok | 20:09 |
| MisterChief | randofer: pretty sure, I'll go with that then | 20:09 |
| Lr5___ | Nirevus: That looks bad, maybe try adding "irqpoll" to boot options | 20:09 |
| jinxed- | TigranG, how do i get that file you want? | 20:09 |
| trx | Nirevus, Does the System have a SMART enabled bios? If so, what does the Smart status for the drive say at bootup? | 20:09 |
| eckesicle | jinxed-, what is your display called in X config? | 20:10 |
| Nirevus | trx: That's what I said, but he wanted a second opinion as it's all running from LiveCD, so he couldn't work out what | 20:10 |
| TigranG | jinxed-: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:10 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | eckesicle: request id is PDF-105 (1 file(s)) ok got it | 20:10 |
| Nirevus | trx: The hard drive would be used for when booting the livecd | 20:10 |
| MisterChief | randorfer: should the Identifier for your video card be the default? | 20:10 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | wheres the pdf? | 20:10 |
| Lr5___ | Nirevus: I had similar problem and "irqpoll" solved it, but I have no idea what it actually does | 20:10 |
| Nirevus | Lr5___: I'll get him to try that | 20:10 |
| RyanPrior | jgoo: Well, it's probably not a problem with Compiz then. | 20:10 |
| randorfer | MisterCheif yes (usually you can choose default) | 20:10 |

| zcat[1] | Nirevus: make sure none of the plugs have been pulled partly out of socket; if you're working on a machine this can often happen.. then download ultimate boot CD perhaps and run manufacturers diagnostics ? | 20:10 |
| jgoo | Good try though RyanPrior, thanks | 20:10 |
| MisterChief | randorfer: Video Card's Bus Identifier? | 20:11 |
| randorfer | MisterCheif stick with what it gave you for a default | 20:11 |
| MisterChief | Okay | 20:11 |
| nuckinfuts | eckesicle, its reading my vista partition, so im gonna boot into vista and drop it on that partition | 20:11 |
| Nirevus | zcat[1]: I would, but I'm sitting 20 minutes away, and trying to walk him through it when the computer he is trying to install Ubuntu on is 2 floors below | 20:11 |

| MisterChief | randorfer: Amount of memory to be used by the video card? Nothing is there at the moment | 20:11 |
| RyanPrior | patrick_: Perhaps you need to install Windows fonts for the text to show up. Sort of a wild guess, though. | 20:11 |
| eckesicle | nuckinfuts, okay sounds like an idea | 20:11 |
| randorfer | MisterChief you can leave that blank | 20:12 |

| amed | jajajajaja | 20:14 |
| RyanPrior | puff: It means resize vertically, which can be used on many windows. | 20:14 |
| TigranG | jinxed-: try doing this, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back then log out and login to a terminal session and do sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and then type exit and login normally. This should fix resolution. If you can't login, from a terminal just do sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:14 |

| zcat[1] | .. just the live installer won't run so well in it | 20:20 |
| xerxes1358 | No I dont think so | 20:20 |

| RyanPrior | kr00l: Xubuntu will install better if you use the Alternate Install CD. | 20:20 |
| Skitt | xerxes1358, do you think or do you know? ^^ | 20:20 |
| zcat[1] | not sure where knoppix is at these days.. | 20:21 |
| eckesicle | UBUNTUISLOVED, it ends up in /home/yourname/PDF | 20:21 |
| xerxes1358 | Skitt, I am not sure Let me paste it | 20:21 |

| jgoo | ok so I found out blender is segfaulting...where could the core dump be? | 20:21 |

| Lr5___ | What's the http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ targeted for? Can it be used as a general paste bin, or should it be used only if needed here? | 20:21 |

| MisterChief | randorfer: okay | 20:21 |
| RyanPrior | Jaymac: That's an important first step. It looks like there's a lot of information about XFree86-dri out there. What specific problem are you having? | 20:21 |
| usr13 | kr00l: lspci | 20:21 |
| usr13 | kr00l: [ENTER] | 20:22 |
| eckesicle | UBUNTUISLOVED, no need to. Type instead lpstat | 20:22 |
| MisterChief | Hoping for the best :D | 20:22 |
| xerxes1358 | Skitt, http://pastebin.org/14150 | 20:22 |
| RyanPrior | jgoo: That's a good question for #blender | 20:22 |
| Jaymac | RyanPrior, any 3d games will not work when I have XGL running - seems to be a problem for many people.. Error message: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". | 20:22 |
| usr13 | kr00l: And, tell us what video card you have. | 20:22 |

| Jaymac | RyanPrior, they work. | 20:23 |
| jgoo | RyanPrior: ah so it is different per app? ok. I am asking there too - I thought it could be somewhere ubuntu specific | 20:23 |
| MisterChief | randorfer: back to the "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" | 20:23 |
| MisterChief | :( | 20:23 |

| UBUNTUISLOVED | eckesicle: didnt help | 20:24 |
| eckesicle | type lpstat | 20:24 |
| RyanPrior | Jaymac: In that case, it sounds like a bug with XGL. I've had lots of problems with XGL too, so I stopped usingit. | 20:24 |

| ubotu | RhinoAK: 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. :-) | 20:25 |
| RyanPrior | Palthron: If you want quick answers, you're going to have to ask understandable questions. | 20:25 |

| RhinoAK | sorry I have the 6.0 server version running LAMP | 20:33 |
| randorfer | nuckingfuts what happens when you type gnome-session | 20:33 |
| nuckinfuts | randorfer, i'd assume so since i haven't changed them | 20:33 |
| eckesicle | napsy_, it is a bit silly but that is the default set up in ubuntu. You can mute the speakers by doubleclicking on the top bar the volume icon. and then muting front speakers | 20:33 |
| Sooz | somebody can help me please? | 20:33 |
| eckesicle | UBUNTUISLOVED, okay that is very weird. | 20:33 |

| RhinoAK | Is there another way for me to run the desktop manager | 20:35 |
| eckesicle | UBUNTUISLOVED, i don't have a darn clue why it does that. But at least you can see the name of the printer? Set the PDF printer to the default one then | 20:35 |
| randorfer | nuckinfuts then gnome-session | 20:35 |
| xerxes1358 | Skitt, and anything new you can see ? | 20:35 |
| eckesicle | napsy_, there should be a tab called Switches | 20:35 |

| steveire | Fast moving channel. Anyone know about dual boot with vista? | 20:49 |
| chuy | RyanPrior: THANKS brb, need to reboot. | 20:49 |
| pavel_ | x64 mostly means driver problems, i'd say | 20:49 |

| pavel_ | it will work on your hardware as well. | 20:50 |
| xerxes1358 | Skitt, how about this link: http://pastebin.org/14156 | 20:50 |
| alsadk10 | thx | 20:50 |
| lostsanity | alright. is there any way to do that that isn't a total pain in the ass or do i pretty much have to start over again? | 20:50 |

| zaktuv | I am trying to partition a 1 TB on a HP DL380 server | 20:50 |
| pavel_ | hm, i think you should do a clean install. if you haven't done much with your install it shouldnt be too painful | 20:51 |
| RB2 | Hi everyone. I have a small problem. I installed the extra screen-savers from the repository via apt-get and was browsing through them in the Screensavers Settings and I hit one that HW locks my PC, even in the Preview. So, I can't change it via the GUI. | 20:51 |
| pavel_ | otherwise just backup your stuff and start over | 20:51 |
| RyanPrior | RB2: screensavers need to die. | 20:51 |
| RB2 | What file holds the screensaver selection? | 20:52 |
| lostsanity | okay, well i'm off to do that then, thanks for the help | 20:52 |
| pavel_ | good luck with the install | 20:52 |
| RB2 | RyanPrior, lol... the biggest problem is that Synaptic doesn't see the package I installed. So, I can't uninstall it. I don't remember the package name. | 20:52 |
| Skitt | xerxes1358, there's something which was connected and got disconnected (line 9 and 12) and there is another connected thing (line 13) which is your wireless controler | 20:52 |
| RB2 | I know it was xxxx-glx but when I search for that, I just get the NVidia drivers and such. | 20:53 |
| nickrud | RB2, run gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-screensaver , that should reset you to defaults | 20:53 |
| matthew_ | trying to install flash manually. It says to give the installation path for Mozilla, Netscape, or Opera browser and uses /usr/lib/mozilla as an example. Except that doesn't work for me. | 20:53 |
| Vaksy | ompaul: not much of help? | 20:53 |
| RB2 | nickrud, Thanks! | 20:53 |
| RyanPrior | RB2: I'll bet it was rss-glx, the "really slick screensavers" package. | 20:54 |
| steveire | nickrud: Do you dualboot with vista? Do you know anymore about the "Master boot record and boot manager" section. Does it apply only if you repair your mbr or in all cases? | 20:54 |
| pavel_ | matthew, i think it should be YOUR_PROFILE/mozilla something | 20:54 |
| RB2 | nickrud, Just the SS settings, correct? | 20:54 |
| Skitt | matthew_, tried /usr/lib/firefox ? | 20:54 |
| timnik | Hi *, What's the recommended virtualization technology for running Windows on Ubuntu? vmware, xen, kvm, virtualbox or other? | 20:54 |
| nickrud | RB2, yes, that's only the screensaver stuff | 20:54 |
| RB2 | RyanPrior, it wasn't that short of a package name. I'll have to investigate further. | 20:54 |
| matthew_ | Skitt: i don't use firefox, i use epiphany. i tried /usr/lib/epiphany and that didn't work. | 20:54 |
| ompaul | Vaksy - the vga 771 part or some other numbers in there close by may help | 20:54 |
| nickrud | steveire, i'd need a link to what you're reading | 20:55 |
| pavel_ | /home/matthew/epiphany | 20:55 |

| RhinoAK | Thanks for the help folks | 20:55 |
| kdehead_ | ubuntu gutsy here | 20:55 |
| eltux | timnik: I've heard good things about virtualbox and vmware yet I haven't fully tested them myself on ubuntu. I know vmware runs great on windows :) | 20:55 |
| RyanPrior | I feel bad for the Arabic guy who was in here a sec ago. #ubuntu-sa is really empty. | 20:55 |
| MisterChief | PurpZeY: I think so, I want to keep all of my /home files, just the gdm settings | 20:56 |
| RyanPrior | kdehead_: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 20:56 |
| timnik | eltux, thanks :-) | 20:56 |
| simu | hello, im looking for a graph plotting program with png export | 20:56 |
| pavel_ | well, i think, for the majority of people on this channel english is the second language | 20:56 |
| kdehead_ | there's no need to install the kubuntu desktop in order to get flash to work | 20:56 |
| PurpZeY | MisterChief: I am not entirely sure how to do it, but I have people saying they just make a partition w/ their home dir then reinstall and mount it | 20:56 |
| eltux | timnik: np, that's what we're here for | 20:56 |
| nickrud | steveire, that would apply if for any reason you reinstalled windows after installing ubuntu, or wrote to the master boot record using a windows recovery/repair utilitity | 20:56 |
| RyanPrior | simu: You can use kplot and take screen shots. | 20:56 |
| pavel_ | so why feeling sorry | 20:56 |
| RyanPrior | simu: You could also use Octave I think, but it's a lot scarier to learn. | 20:56 |
| amber__ | i had a problem with my rather new ubuntu install earlyer... my monitor shut off after 10 minutes as i had set it to do, but the keyboard and mouse couldnt get it out of it again.. happened twice in a row, and prevented now by setting screen shutdown off for the moment | 20:57 |
| amber__ | anyone knows what that might be? the mouse still had light in it, so was not turned off as well | 20:57 |
| RB2 | nickrud, Is there anyplace I can see what was installed by apt-get today? Those were the only packages I installed. | 20:57 |
| Borat | Does anyone know how to change the Ubuntu Icon On the menu to the GNome-Foot? | 20:57 |
| MisterChief | I would just like everything reset but keep the /home/andy files exactly as they were | 20:57 |
| Vaksy | ill try | 20:57 |
| RyanPrior | simu: If you're a Python programmer, there's a python graphing utility that you could probably coax to give png output. | 20:58 |

| ConstyXIV | evolution, thunderbird, or other? | 20:58 |
| steveire | nickrud: OK. So when I get my new computer I'll resize the vista partition, then install ubuntu. That'll install grub. If I reinstall/repair windows (or there's a 'security' update or something) it will replace grub with a vista bootloader which should work just as well? | 20:58 |
| eltux | constyXIV: I like thunderbird myself :) | 20:58 |
| pavel_ | better resize it with something other than the ubuntu installer. | 20:59 |
| simu | RyanPrior: I will take the solution using screenshots (of lybniz) thanks | 20:59 |
| kdehead_ | steveire: not a chance. the windows bootloader will always replace grub. thats microsoft for you. | 20:59 |
| ssam | simu, there is a bug in gutsys lybniz that makes saving to png not work | 20:59 |
| nickrud | RB2, not that I'm sure of. | 20:59 |
| slugone | ive got a 64bit install and i cant seem to open or use Gnash SWF viewer any ideas | 20:59 |
| kdehead_ | but for security updates to vista you should be ok. | 20:59 |
| simu | ssam: oh ok | 20:59 |
| eltux | kdehead_: not if you install vista first, grub will take over after you install ubuntu | 21:00 |
| simu | ssam: I was already wondering ;-p | 21:00 |
| pavel_ | why a x64 install? the primary question ;) | 21:00 |
| ssam | simu, but you can get 1.3.2 from sourceforge | 21:00 |
| eltux | kdehead_: I've done it with flawless results | 21:00 |
| steveire | kdehead_: When will the vista bootloader replace grub? First boot after installing ubuntu? | 21:00 |
| simu | ssam: ok thank you. maybe I find a deb package | 21:00 |
| unknown513 | Hey randorfer, if your still there, i need help with GStreamer, i cant hear any sound, i installed all the plugins, and it says there isnt any on there | 21:00 |
| RB2 | nickrud, thanks | 21:00 |
| nickrud | steveire, the bit about the vista boot loader is something new to me, but it appears that with proper config it will. You can also repair grub, see !grub for instructions | 21:00 |
| kdehead_ | steveire - no. only if you need to reinstall vista again. | 21:00 |
| ssam | simu, the one from debian should work on ubuntu | 21:01 |
| whitegulls | does anyone know how to change a hauppage pvr-150 to the composite-in settings? | 21:01 |
| steveire | kdehead_: OK, so what I said above was correct? | 21:01 |
| slugone | i cant get gnash swf viewer to open or work ...i got a 64bit install any ideas | 21:01 |
| steveire | nickrud: OK. So when I get my new computer I'll resize the vista partition, then install ubuntu. That'll install grub. If I reinstall/repair windows (or there's a 'security' update or something) it will replace grub with a vista bootloader which should work just as well? | 21:01 |
| ZiNC2^6 | Doesn't Ubuntu works as a readonly OS from the CD, and not only as a pre-install environment? | 21:01 |
| eltux | steverie: if you install ubuntu last, grub will take place of the vista boot loader and You'll be fine | 21:01 |
| steveire | nickrud: OK. cheers | 21:01 |

| kdehead_ | steverie -> yeah.. if you install ubuntu AFTER vista, you'll be fine. grub will take over. | 21:01 |
| steveire | eltux: That seems to be no different to the XP scenario. | 21:02 |
| nickrud | RB2, I'm sure there's a method, but I use aptitude which keeps a log I know about | 21:02 |
| unknown513 | I need help with GStreamer, i have the packages installed, but it wont let me hear anything, and it says there are no plugins installed | 21:02 |
| steveire | eltux: As that seems to be the case, I don't see why it merits special note anywhere. | 21:02 |
| eltux | steverie: really it isn't. if you triple boot, you have to install xp then vista and then ubuntu :D | 21:02 |
| RB2 | nickrud, I just went into /var/cache/apt and took a peak and found the package names. | 21:02 |

| RB2 | nickrud, yeah, the date was completely wrong, BUT I just needed to be reminded. As soon as I saw them, I knew which ones they were. Thanks again | 21:04 |
| steveire | eltux: I've been using ubuntu for ~2 years. I'm only confused because I'm getting a new laptop with vista :) | 21:04 |

| eltux | eid: its basically the same, install windows first, then ubuntu | 21:09 |
| kdehead_ | nomikos -> probably was turned off in favour of sftp which is part of the openssl package. | 21:09 |
| nickrud | jikuty, use vista to shrink the windows partition, then tell the ubuntu installer to use all the free space | 21:09 |
| Nomikos | kdehead_: ah, that's a new one.. | 21:09 |
| zcat[1] | last dual-boot of vista I was involved with, I think we treated it just like XP.. resize, install, reboot.. it seemed to work out OK too. | 21:10 |
| simu | ssam: it works!!!! great! im using it for my master theses! | 21:10 |
| kdehead_ | nomikos -> bear in mind that when you use ftp your id and password is transmitted in plain text over the internet.... not a good thing to be doing. | 21:10 |
| Nomikos | kdehead_: could that also cause a reinstall of proftpd to fail? | 21:10 |
| eltux | eid: the only way it gets difficult is if you triple boot, then you would install xp then vista then ubuntu for example | 21:10 |
| eltux | :) | 21:10 |
| steveire | I don't plan to use vista. I'll keep it around as long as it's useful for comparison etc. It's good to have knowledge of systems you don't regularly use and don't box in to anything. Thanks for the advice nickrud kdehead_ eltux. | 21:10 |
| eid | I'm trying to login to swat with privileges allow share button to appear, my user account failed to do that :( | 21:10 |

| jikuty | i wonder if I should just delete one... | 21:11 |

| nsa84 | jinxed .. sorry just checking my restricted drivers settings, they waren't activated | 21:42 |
| joseph_ | Dr_Willis, 7.04 used tod o that automatically... | 21:42 |
| nsa84 | when i actievated them en retried the command i opens something up :) | 21:43 |
| XBehave | ive broken a driver is there anyway to restore it without compiling it | 21:43 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: Not really. If it were memory, wouldn't it actively complain? And weren't the requirements 192MB? | 21:43 |
| PurpZeY | XBehave: What do you mean you broke it/ | 21:43 |
| DigitalNinja | Is there a good tool for monitoring system performance? I was about to install Cacti but thought I would ask first. | 21:44 |
| joseph_ | Dr_Willis, ok, i've installed it. Now what do I do to get it running and mounting my smbfs out of /etc/fstab ? | 21:44 |
| joseph_ | Dr_Willis, btw, if i do sudo mount -a, it will mount the share, so i know it works | 21:44 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: no, it won't complain, it will just run real slow and fail to start stuff... I'm not sure what the minimum is, I generally find that with 256M the install is painfully slow though | 21:44 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: anyhow.. what were you trying to do? I missed it | 21:44 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: I don't mind slow. It definitely seems slower than Knoppix 4, but it will do for now. If it allowed me more control. | 21:45 |
| nsa84 | Jinxed im only not able to do any setting according to the resolution of the screen and the activation of the second screen. | 21:45 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: Run some checksumming on a few files on NTFS. | 21:45 |

| nsa84 | jinxed? what is youre setup? maybe we are able to joins fores and kill two birds with one stone. | 21:48 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: My impression was that it was supposed to work, even if slowly. I guess I'll try Knoppix, if older Ubuntu versions are the same in this regard. | 21:48 |

| jinxed- | soulrider, i think i know where the error is but i don't know how to fix it | 21:50 |

| PurpZeY | jinxed-: Is your card recognized properly? | 21:50 |
| prometoys | the network doesnt work (static and dhcp/ cable, firewall etc checked), and the chip seams problematic. | 21:50 |
| jinxed- | PurpZeY, I believe so | 21:50 |
| PurpZeY | jinxed-: Have you done the "!fixres" steps? | 21:50 |
| luiscota | PurpZeY, it's something like /msg nickserv identify password, but I want to log in with a different name. | 21:51 |

| ignus | hi, can anyone help me install Tracker-0.6.4? | 21:52 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: it does seem odd, yes | 21:53 |
| PurpZeY | jinxed-: If you are in low graphics mode something is not being identified properly. Perhaps it is using the wrong driver | 21:53 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: Is it possible to do a partial install that would still run off the CD, but with swap/temp/home on the HDD? | 21:53 |
| Dr_Willis | quinton_: uncompress the source file, be sure you have all needed stuff installed (install build-essential package) cd to the source dir, then normally its a ' ./configure then make, then sudo make install' commands. | 21:53 |

| Dr_Willis | quinton_: step 1 uncompress the source archive. | 21:54 |

| zcat[1] | ignore the last {} it's a typo | 21:55 |
| PurpZeY | jinxed-: Hmmm...Well, the dual boot is non-issue, but it sounds like you got the wrong driver for the card you are using if you get can't res above 800 x 600. and in addition it is running in low graphics mode | 21:55 |
| themoebius | nickrud: ok thanks | 21:55 |
| Ax-Ax | zcat[1], no | 21:55 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: Is the install procedure always as scary as it is now? It loads the Partioner, then lets me choose between two "automatic" partitioning options (one of them selected by default), even though the HDD is already partitioned and used. | 21:55 |
| Laurenceb | how do I mount a swap partition? | 21:55 |
| jinxed- | well I have a 16X PCI express geforce go 6600 128 mb ram... PurpZeY | 21:55 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: when I say impractical, I mean 'impossible for mere mortals to figure out how' | 21:55 |
| quinton_ | dr_willis, it uncompressed an actual folder and it says the same name w/o the .tar.bz2 on the end. | 21:56 |
| DigitalNinja | coflounder: Sysstat is kind of cool. I'll run it and see what I get | 21:56 |

| lgc | PurpZeY, see? I have now logged in as lgc. | 21:56 |
| XBehave | ZiNC2^6: its possible but you would need to mount stuff yourself everytime, a better option for a liveCD bassed system IMO is knoppix (or gnoppix if you hate kde) | 21:56 |
| rodolfo | hey i need some help...what file should i install when terminal says "No package xvmc found"? (x11proto-fonts-dev, x11proto-core-dev and xserver-xorg-dev are already installed) | 21:56 |
| ZiNC2^6 | XBehave: Haven't used it much, but I didn't like it, yes. And the little of Gnome I've seen in 7.10 seems nicer. | 21:56 |

| lgc | fallore, is your disk doing fine? | 22:00 |
| jikuty | when I'm installing ubuntu (dualbooting vista and ubuntu7.04), a guide i'm using says that the summary should say "Vista/Longhorn (loader)" under "Migration Assistant" - my summary doesn't have this.. is Ubuntu not recognizing that windows exists? | 22:00 |
| nickrud | Ximal, if you emptied the trash, the files are gone | 22:00 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: Well, simple file, clearly Windows would do anything about it. | 22:00 |

| Dr_Willis | quinton_: cd to the source dir that it made.. and read the install docs. The standard procedure is './configure' 'make' then 'sudo make install' | 22:01 |

| e67 | Hello | 22:02 |
| robdeman | hi all, when I tell Postfix to use /usr/bin/procmail for local delivery (in order to get SpamAsassin working) then no mail is being delieverd anymore into my IMAP / Dovecot folders in ~Maildir/ | 22:02 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: No free space. And I wouldn't want to resize. But I canceled it before that stage... looked too fishy. Particularly with all the HDD activity. | 22:03 |
| robdeman | whenever I remove /usr/bin/procmail then it works again however - no SpamAssassin was invoked | 22:03 |
| lgc | fallore, fsck is an utility to check your filesystem. Do 'man fsck' to learn about its usage and then do that. | 22:03 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: So what, Ubuntu must have a dedicated partition? No file-on-FAT for HDD or something? | 22:03 |
| quinton_ | dr_willis, or I could pastebin the instructions to you. | 22:03 |
| nickrud | robdeman, I have procmail drop them into my maildirs | 22:03 |
| === Ashfire908 is now known as NotAJimbo | ||

| jinxed- | PurpZeY, it says NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver with check box enabled with check in it. and status: in use with green check | 22:07 |
| Strangework | I am using an HP Pavilion dv6426us, I am attempting to use the beta version of Skype, the program will not sense my webcam for some reason. Does anyone here have a remedy? | 22:07 |
| Arthur | How would I run/compile python files? | 22:07 |
| ZiNC2^6 | XBehave: What problems? I saw it on the CD. But I thought everything can be done through Ubuntu itself too. | 22:07 |
| PurpZeY | jinxed-: Do you have xgl running xserv? | 22:07 |
| Dr_Willis | quinton_: those docs seem rather clear and detailed. There a specific part you are not understanding? | 22:07 |
| grayFalc1n | Hello everybody! Just wondering... I just compiled me a new kernel, and I need to make an initrd. But no mkinitrd is to be found... the usual package "initrd-tools" isn't known to apt-get either, though all my repositories seem to be OK. The only suggestion I could find online (update-initramfs) doesn't seem to exist either. So where do I get my mkinitrd? | 22:07 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: Shouldn't I be able to run bash through Nautilus by doubleclicking it? | 22:07 |
| jinxed- | PurpZeY, i don't know what that means | 22:08 |

| nickrud | robdeman, then you can use procmail to sort into your folders, much easier than doing it by hand. :0 * ^List-Id.*ubuntu-devel $HOME/Maildir/.ubuntu.devel/ is another rule I have | 22:08 |
| quinton_ | dr_willis, I am just not good at understanding directions, I sorry for so much trouble. | 22:08 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: or right-click, select 'run in terminal' .. there should be a checkbox somewhere iirc | 22:08 |
| PurpZeY | nickrud: How do check if someone is running xgl x-server ? | 22:08 |
| PurpZeY | The nvidia....thing... | 22:09 |
| nickrud | PurpZeY, ps -A | grep - xgl | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | quinton_: open up a shell. cd to the dir the source is in, the commands are './configure' then 'make ' then 'sudo make install' | 22:09 |
| nickrud | PurpZeY, erm, grep -i xgl that is | 22:09 |
| PurpZeY | jinxed-: ps -A | grep -i xgl | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | quinton_: unless your system has some of the specific cases/issues those readmens mention. | 22:09 |
| joseph_ | Can someone go to System > Preferences >> Sessions >> Network-Manager (EDIT BUTTON) and show me the path of the network manager? | 22:09 |
| XBehave | ZiNC2^6: wubi is unofficial, there are some hacks needed to get ubunutu to work in a file so there can be issues my only experience was bad but do able | 22:10 |
| Strangework | I am using an HP Pavilion dv6426us, I am attempting to use the beta version of Skype, the program will not sense my webcam for some reason. Does anyone here have a remedy? | 22:10 |
| PurpZeY | joseph_: Network manager is nm-applet | 22:10 |
| joseph_ | PurpZeY, thanks! | 22:10 |
| quinton_ | dr_willis, what do you mean to open a shell. dir? | 22:10 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: No such thing here. Only "open with application". I guess that goes along with the lack of menubar. Oh, well. | 22:10 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: you really should take a look at puppy, I'm sure it's much closer to what you're trying to achieve. | 22:10 |
| Arthur | Dr_Willis how do I run .py files? | 22:10 |
| jinxed- | i copied and ps -A | grep -i xgl and nothing happened | 22:10 |
| PurpZeY | Arthur: You have to make them executable. then ./nameoffile | 22:11 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: But I wanted to have a whole package to look at! But I will, if Knoppix 5 is not it in the end. :) | 22:11 |
| jengle_ | hi everyone | 22:11 |
| uwo | hi all. i tried kde (and installed kde desktop trhough synaptic) - now on boot (before gdm) and shutdown i have a kubuntu screen (not ubuntu) - what is this screen called and how do i change back? | 22:11 |
| jinxed- | i copied and ps -A | grep -i xgl and nothing happened PurpZeY | 22:11 |
| newbie101 | Hello, all! I have a question on installing a video card... I changed out my old video card on a Xubuntu 7.04 machine and replaced it with a 3dfx Voodoo 3. Now X won't start. I've been trying dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but no dice so far. Question: Would it be easiest for me to just try a rescue with the liveCD? | 22:11 |
| ZiNC2^6 | XBehave: It's on the 7.10 CD, but unofficial? And what kind of problems? Destructive, or just... annoyances? | 22:11 |
| nickrud | !usplash | uwo | 22:11 |
| ubotu | uwo: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | quinton_: if you dont understand the basics of the linux terminal. Its time to read some of the bash/shell/terminal starter guides. | 22:11 |
| jinxed- | I don't believe I am running any desktop effects i would like to eventually though | 22:11 |
| PurpZeY | jinxed-: I got it...so, no xgl....bear with | 22:11 |
| jengle_ | i apologize if i'm asking in the wrong channel, but i want to know how i can change the resolution of ubuntu's login screen? | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !bash | quinton_ | 22:11 |
| ubotu | quinton_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 22:11 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: 'k, just seems you're trying to push a round peg into a square hole a bit | 22:11 |
| quinton_ | dr_willis, I would be glad to learn, I just need to fix my sound. | 22:12 |
| Arthur | PurpZeY I get permission denied, is there a way to bypass that like the sudo command does? | 22:12 |
| PurpZeY | nickrud: So, restricted drivers is telling him the card is working as Nvidia restricted, but he is low graphics mode and no xgl....What's the next step? | 22:12 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: I can hope... I just was sure Ubuntu is just like Knoppix in this regard. I'll try it later on another computer with 384MB to see if I get the full GUI. | 22:12 |
| PurpZeY | Arthur: sudo is permisson | 22:12 |
| grayFalc1n | Ok, so if nobody knows where mkinitrd is on ubuntu... can I just use yaird as substitution? Does it do the exact same thing? | 22:12 |
| Strangework | I am using an HP Pavilion dv6426us, I am attempting to use the beta version of Skype, the program will not sense my webcam for some reason. Does anyone here have a remedy? | 22:12 |
| uwo | nickrud:tnx | 22:13 |
| newbie101 | jengle_ I think this can be done by adjusting the default resolution in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. | 22:13 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: also run the disk self-test .. perhaps you burned it too fast and it's having trouble reading a few files? | 22:13 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: Is my impression correct that Gnome seems much more solid than KDE? | 22:13 |
| Arthur | But if I do /sudo ./file.py it'll give me an error because of an invalid command | 22:13 |
| newbie101 | jengle_ IIRC, the login screen is always at default resolution. | 22:13 |
| nickrud | PurpZeY, oh, nvidia. I do know he doesn't need xserver-xgl for nvidia to run compiz. And if he has one of the 8xxx series, the ubuntu nvidia isn't new enough | 22:13 |
| XBehave | ZiNC2^6: well i ran into problems that i wouldnt of been able to solve if i was new | 22:13 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: I'd expect it to complain. But I checked the MD5s, at least those that are included on the CD (includes the main compressed FS and a bunch of others). | 22:13 |
| PurpZeY | jinxed-: What card? | 22:13 |
| nickrud | PurpZeY, but that's about all I know about nvidia | 22:13 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: my impression is that ubuntu is designed around gnome first and KDE as an afterthought.. so generally things work best with gnome-based ubuntu. | 22:14 |
| ZiNC2^6 | XBehave: If your HDD/data wasn't touched, that's still not too bad. | 22:14 |
| PurpZeY | nickrud: If the Ubuntu drivers aren't new enough, the nvidia drivers are appropriate | 22:14 |
| PurpZeY | ? | 22:14 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: I don't mean with Ubuntu specifically, but in general. I didn't like KDE much in Knoppix 4. | 22:14 |
| jinxed- | PurpZeY, I have a 16x PCI express Nvidia Geforce Go 6600 128 mb ram | 22:14 |
| jengle_ | newbie101: can i change it? | 22:14 |
| nickrud | PurpZeY, unless he wants to run vesa without any acceleration at all .. | 22:14 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: Something about how things look, and how clearly it's drawn. | 22:14 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: it does complain, but not anywhere you see it.. somewhere on alt-F7 it'll be logging a bunch of errors :) | 22:14 |
| newbie101 | Question: Are the 3dfx Voodoo drivers restricted? | 22:14 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: cleanly. | 22:14 |
| newbie101 | jengle_ Yes, you should be able to. | 22:14 |
| jengle_ | newbie101: any idea how? | 22:15 |
| newbie101 | jengle_ Which version of Ubuntu are you running? | 22:15 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: Maybe with the normal GUI. Here it just switches to "drag window" mode. | 22:15 |
| nickrud | newbie101, no, they're waaaaay too old for that. | 22:15 |
| PurpZeY | jinxed-: You can try a dpkg-reconfigure but that's going to reset X on you. | 22:15 |
| XBehave | KDE and Gnome are both perfectly stable, kde3 uses less ram than gnome but if your woried about ram xfce is the best choice | 22:15 |
| jinxed- | PurpZeY, Already tried that | 22:15 |
| slugone | how do i install a BIN file ? | 22:15 |
| newbie101 | nickrud If I can see the card in the output from lspci, that means the right driver is loaded, doesn't it? | 22:15 |
| ZiNC2^6 | XBehave: That's odd. Why does it use more? KDE looked more cluttered. And Knoppix with KDE says it only needs 96MB of RAM for basic operation. | 22:16 |
| PurpZeY | jinxed-: Hmmm...Have you tried to use nvidia's drivers? Other than that I'd say be bet is ask in #compiz-fusion b/c those guys know this stuff very very well | 22:16 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: mostly it's just personal preference.. they both have their strengths | 22:16 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: So the ultimate one would be a hybrid? :) | 22:16 |
| nickrud | newbie101, if you're trying to get compiz running, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Voodoo3doesnotdo3d. | 22:16 |
| rodolfo | please someone!!! | 22:16 |
| newbie101 | nickrud No, actually, I'm just trying to get X running. :) I just installed the card. | 22:16 |
| slugone | how do i execute a BIN file ? | 22:16 |
| nickrud | newbie101, and no, if you do grep tdfx /etc/X11/xorg.conf , and see Driver "tdfx" you're running the right driver | 22:17 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: I think redhat tried that... kinda universal GUI that wasn't really either | 22:17 |
| pvl1 | when i try to put something into /etc/apt/sources.list, it tells me i dont have permision | 22:17 |
| caleb_ | why doesn't this command work? I try to execute it from the terminal, I get this message: caleb@caleb-laptop:~/Desktop/elc-150$ gnome-open el.x86.linux.bin | 22:17 |
| caleb_ | Error showing url: There is no default action associated with this location | 22:17 |
| robdeman | so ok I got Spam Assassin working now | 22:17 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: What was it called? | 22:17 |
| XBehave | slugone: it needs permision to run, then just type its location | 22:17 |
| newbie101 | nick oh... it's the tdfx driver? I think that's my problem, then -- I told the config program to use voodoo. Many thanks! | 22:17 |
| robdeman | but where should I create the 'spam' folder for IMAP? | 22:17 |
| slugone | ???? | 22:17 |
| robdeman | in $HOME/Maildir/ .. and then..? | 22:17 |
| slugone | how do i give it permission to run | 22:18 |
| nickrud | caleb_, because that .bin file is not a website | 22:18 |
| roman2k | somebody know where i can get this file 12B83718.gpg ??? | 22:18 |
| grayFalc1n | Ok, nevermind... apparently yaird does the job perfectly, too. | 22:18 |
| zcat[1] | ZiNC2^6: can't remember. No idea what they do nowdays.. but for a while they had a nice desktop that was a mix of features from gnome and kde. | 22:18 |
| rodolfo | nickrud: hey i need some help...what file should i install when terminal says "No package xvmc found"? (x11proto-fonts-dev, x11proto-core-dev and xserver-xorg-dev are already installed) | 22:18 |
| ZiNC2^6 | roman2k: http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/12B83718.gpg ? | 22:18 |
| slugone | got it ty | 22:18 |
| caleb_ | nickrud i can execute any other file. I deduced this didn't work because it doesn't have a setting to open in a program | 22:18 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: Why didn't it stick? And, you think, are the highlights (and lows) of each? | 22:18 |
| nickrud | rodolfo, you can go to packages.ubuntu.com , and use the 'search for files in packages' | 22:19 |
| XBehave | slugone: find its location and chmod o+x it i think | 22:19 |
| ZiNC2^6 | zcat: +what | 22:19 |
| roman2k | <ZiNC2^6> file not found | 22:19 |
| eltux | nickrud: it failed. so that means I have to get a new iso image xD | 22:20 |
| newbie101 | jengle_ I won't be on much longer, but I'd first try setting the default resolution using the settings manager (graphical interface). If that fails, you can edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and put the resolution you want to be default at the front of the list. The next reboot should come up at the right resolution. | 22:20 |
| jengle_ | newbie101: sorry for the wait.. using latest | 22:20 |
| nickrud | caleb_, ah, gnome-open's got smarter now :) Yes, the file is intended to be executed rather than opened. file <binfile> will tell you what kind of file it is | 22:20 |
| zcat[1] | 93% ... | 22:20 |
| robdeman | can anybody spam me please? haha need to test spamasassin | 22:21 |
| nickrud | !iso | eltux check for a good download, it's more likely to be the burn | 22:21 |
| ubotu | eltux check for a good download, it's more likely to be the burn: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 22:21 |
| ZiNC2^6 | roman2k: Hmm... yeah. Maybe it was removed for a reason, I don't know. | 22:21 |
| nickrud | !md5 | eltux (shoulda gone with this first, I backspaced :) | 22:21 |
| ubotu | eltux (shoulda gone with this first, I backspaced :): To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 22:21 |
| rodolfo | nickrud: but thats the problem. i dont know what is missing here. or whatever dependency is still missing for xvmc. | 22:21 |
| caleb_ | nickrud: file <binfile>??? | 22:21 |
| nickrud | rodolfo, it's not in gutsy, anyway. | 22:22 |
| nickrud | caleb_, file el.x86.linux.bin | 22:22 |
| rodolfo | nickrud: but...how do i get this solved? i sont know what im supposed to look for | 22:22 |
| nickrud | rodolfo, what are you expecting that file to do, first of all | 22:23 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| caleb_ | nickrud: so how do i execute it then? | 22:23 |

| newbie101 | What's the right command to launch xserver from a terminal? | 22:24 |
| nickrud | rodolfo, it's not in ubuntu under that name, so function is next | 22:24 |
| Oli`` | newbie101: from a proper terminal or a nested terminal in X (for nested X sessions)? | 22:25 |
| ConstyXIV | does flash memory suck any electricity when it's reading or idle? | 22:25 |
| newbie101 | oli`` Um, a proper terminal, I guess? The kind you get when X fails to start. | 22:25 |
| nickrud | newbie101, after you made the driver change , sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 22:26 |
| phosphoricx | When I suspend my audio doesn't work, so I have to unload the module (snd_ice1724) before and reload it after. However, this only works if no program is using the module before suspending. Anyone know how to fix that? | 22:26 |
| nickrud | newbie101, or restart, if it says it's already running | 22:26 |
| Oli`` | newbie101: then: /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 22:26 |
| newbie101 | nickrud / Oli`` : Thanks to both of you -- that's two things I've learned today. | 22:26 |
| Oli`` | newbie101: ah yes, you'll probably want start instead of restart | 22:26 |

| andromeda | no | 22:35 |
| nickrud | rodolfo, no, it's so dang new it's still in the developers repositories. I don't know enough about X to really help with this | 22:35 |
| Praveen | whoaje: im pretty sure its quite safe | 22:35 |
| andromeda | is not the user called root.. | 22:35 |
| andromeda | is an other user... | 22:35 |
| jonaskoelker | whoaje: I'd say it's perfectly safe unless you have a particular reason to believe otherwise | 22:35 |
| toni_ | andromeda, you want to be as if he is root? | 22:36 |
| andromeda | yes | 22:36 |
| Praveen | whoaje: it willl just upgrade the kernel and stuff and write new lines into the grub | 22:36 |
| speedbird | nickrud I cant install pidgin i get this error that i have gaim installed and something like that. | 22:36 |
| toni_ | andromeda, idon't think is a good idea | 22:36 |
| whoaje | praveen, I am using the windows boot loader for the dual boot | 22:36 |
| rodolfo | nickrud: its ok. can you recommend some X-related forum or FAQ? (i've already read the X.org's FAQ) | 22:36 |
| nickrud | speedbird, I don't know much at all about pidgin, never used it | 22:36 |
| whoaje | still thinks its alright? | 22:36 |
| Praveen | whoaje: then you might have a problem. | 22:36 |
| speedbird | oh alright i m trying to find something on ubuntu forums :) | 22:37 |
| Praveen | speedbird: you might want to purge your gaim installation | 22:37 |
| andromeda | ok.. | 22:37 |
| jonaskoelker | whoaje: except for perhaps grub, I can't imagine how one OS would affect the other, and AIUI, the updates to grub are on the linux partition, not in the boot sectors | 22:37 |
| toni_ | speedbird, you have to remove gaim | 22:37 |
| jonaskoelker | whoaje: ... so, you're safe | 22:37 |
| speedbird | toni i tried but that gives me some error too | 22:37 |
| jonaskoelker | whoaje: that is (as it always is) if the software is Bug Free (tm) ;) | 22:37 |
| toni_ | speedbird, pastebin the errors | 22:37 |
| Raism | hi everyone.... can anyone plz give me some help with my tvtuner ?? | 22:38 |
| nickrud | rodolfo, you could try subscribing to http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg , and asking there. No promises, though. Sometimes the developers of projects are helpful, sometimes not | 22:38 |
| roman2k | somebody was using Wine for CS 1.6? | 22:38 |
| whoaje | ha, yeah....ok, thanks, I'll just be cautious with it... | 22:38 |
| toni_ | cs? | 22:38 |
| speedbird | toni_, ok hold on | 22:38 |
| toni_ | yes | 22:38 |
| jonaskoelker | Raism: I probably can't, but if you're more specific, probably someone else can :) | 22:38 |
| roman2k | Counter Strike =) | 22:38 |
| Praveen | speedbird: the #pidgin channel is open if you want tot go there. seems less busy than this | 22:38 |
| toni_ | roman2k, omg :) | 22:38 |
| rodolfo | nickrud: good idea. thank you :) | 22:38 |
| jonaskoelker | Raism: say, you could tell what the problem is | 22:38 |
| nickrud | andromeda, you want to give a new user admin privileges? Nothing wrong with it, if you want them to have it | 22:38 |
| Raism | yes jonas | 22:39 |
| speedbird | Parveen, oh that would be perfect then .. i m going there thx :D | 22:39 |

| insomninja | What do you think of this idea; many games (etqw in this case) run better with low nice values, but that often would require running them as root =bad practice so what about running something like this: | 23:33 |

| stuckey | #ubuntu! | 23:37 |
| Maddog | :) | 23:37 |
| charles87 | XBehave: it may be "soft -V" or "soft --version" | 23:37 |
| bruenig | IMYojimbo, probably try mogrify | 23:37 |
| khermans | Pici, that doesnt necessarily show you which version you have installed, right? | 23:37 |
| Pici | khermans: it will actually. | 23:37 |

| OD810 | anyway experience low resolution with ATi Driver, I cant get the max resolution for my 22" monitor | 23:38 |
| OD810 | anyone* | 23:38 |
| khermans | acu, ffmpeg2theora | 23:39 |
| kebinusan | any recommendations n a good bittorrent client for linux, perhaps something similar to utorrent | 23:39 |
| PurpZeY | acu: You can play wmv in Ubuntu, but if you want to convert you can use FFMPEG | 23:39 |
| Maddog | i encrypted several partitions with cryptsetup and when i reboot it queries me for the first password but not for the others | 23:39 |
| jeff__ | OD810: What driver are you using? | 23:39 |
| toni_ | OD810, i cannot to on 19'' | 23:39 |
| eltux | OD810: are you using the restricted drivers? | 23:39 |
| khermans | kebinusan, i like rtorrent, cli only | 23:39 |
| Maddog | ans because of this i cant boot my system | 23:39 |
| PurpZeY | kebinusan: Utorrent under wine, IMO. | 23:39 |
| Pici | acu: iirc you cannot play drm encoded wmvs in linux | 23:39 |
| toni_ | i am using open ati | 23:39 |
| OD810 | jeff__: Restricted driver, i got compiz working properly but not the resolution | 23:39 |
| khermans | kebinusan, aptitude search torrent | 23:39 |
| kebinusan | yeah I was using utorrent under wine, but isnce I upgraded from i386 to amd64 it stopped working for me | 23:40 |
| mhrnjad | Maddog: did you add all your encrypted partitions to /etc/crypttab? | 23:40 |
| OD810 | eltux: yes i'm using restricted driver | 23:40 |
| kebinusan | Im not quite sure why | 23:40 |
| PurpZeY | Ah I see | 23:40 |
| Johnny_5 | okay i looked it up and the z in .bz2 indicates that its a .gz file | 23:40 |
| XBehave | is 0.9-1 the same as 0.9.1 ? | 23:40 |
| acu | Pici: is there a way to circumvent that ? --- can I convert it in windows ? from wmv to ogg ? | 23:40 |
| Johnson_ | !acroread | 23:40 |

| jeff__ | Is the resolution not listed under Screens and Graphics? | 23:40 |
| Maddog | mhrnjad: yes | 23:40 |
| kitche | Johnson_: that doesn't make sense | 23:40 |
| Maddog | in exactly the same way | 23:40 |

| hanophix33 | I have wireless question | 23:41 |
| Johnson_ | kitche: what are u talking about | 23:41 |
| mhrnjad | Maddog: that's funny .. I am only using one encrypted partition ... | 23:41 |
| hanophix33 | can anyone help me with wireless question | 23:41 |
| mhrnjad | Maddog: any clues from dmesg or system logs? | 23:41 |
| PurpZeY | !ask | hanophix33 | 23:41 |
| ubotu | hanophix33: 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. :-) | 23:41 |
| kitche | Johnny_5: that doesn't make sense since bz2 is diffent then gz | 23:41 |
| Maddog | nope | 23:41 |
| eltux | OD810: hrm, go to System>Administration>Screen and Graphics then tick Graphics Card. tell me what driver you are using | 23:41 |
| hanophix33 | ok | 23:41 |
| Odd-rationale | acu: You can try some online converters: http://www.zamzar.com/ http://www.media-convert.com/ | 23:41 |
| jeff__ | OD810: not sure then. As I understand it the driver directly from ATI has better support for compiz so you could always try that. | 23:42 |
| kitche | Johnny_5: wrong nick name didn't hit tab enough | 23:42 |
| Maddog | i guess it could be because of the separation of usr and var | 23:42 |
| OD810 | eltux: i need to boot to Ubuntu now brb | 23:42 |
| khermans | Odd-rationale, oh you know about those sites? | 23:42 |
| Maddog | but i'ld like to keep this separation | 23:42 |

| angel_ | wols, you still in here buddy? goddamn xchat-gnome was acting up. had to switch to xchat | 23:42 |
| mhrnjad | Maddog: it's the shared libs for cryptsetup on /usr | 23:42 |
| Odd-rationale | khermans: I use them sometimes. Especially zamzar which can convert docx, pptx, xlsx, etc. | 23:43 |
| PurpZeY | horizxon: what cards? | 23:43 |
| mhrnjad | Maddog: give me a sec .. will give you a link | 23:43 |
| Maddog | ahh, k then ill try copying it to the root partition | 23:43 |
| Johnny_5 | kitche: its all good | 23:43 |
| hanophix33 | Eastern Michigan University has a campus wide wireless network. It is a wireless network which requires a url redirect to login with a student ID from a specific webpage. When I was on campus today, testing Ubuntu's wireless capabilities, no wireless networks appeared. | 23:43 |
| djcabz | khermans: valgrind is actually a fairly extensive application. I doubt it will be as helpful if I have to spend two hours figuring out what tools in valgrind I need for my situation, then another hour collecting metrics. can you point me to a nice how to do X guickly FAQ... :) | 23:43 |
| horizxon | its a new HP laptop | 23:43 |
| eltux | horizxon: it will most likely work after you install it. Are you using ATI or NIVIDIA? If so, the restricted drivers will be available after installation | 23:43 |
| mhrnjad | Maddog: the solution is to use a statically linked cryptsetup binary .. | 23:43 |
| kitche | Johnny_5: tar xvfz is used ot extract .gz files the compression is different then a bz2 file | 23:43 |
| horizxon | nvidia Geforce go 7150M | 23:43 |
| eltux | horizxon: usually | 23:43 |
| Maddog | mhrnjad: hm..even better :) | 23:43 |
| hanophix33 | Is anyone familiar with this type of wireless network | 23:43 |
| PurpZeY | hanophix33: Yes. | 23:44 |
| Maddog | mhrnjad: is there an ubuntu package | 23:44 |
| PurpZeY | hanophix33: They have one at my school | 23:44 |
| Maddog | or do i have to build it myself? | 23:44 |
| hanophix33 | Purp....good! | 23:44 |

| mhrnjad | Maddog: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/139635 | 23:44 |
| Johnny_5 | kitche: yeah...i kinda jumped ahead of myself on that one... | 23:44 |
| Pici | bruenig: Why is that a problem? | 23:44 |
| mhrnjad | Maddog: no package but you can download it from .. | 23:44 |
| Pici | bruenig: sorry, wrong person. | 23:44 |
| horizxon | why would it work after install? my other computers work on the livecd. Thats how I know it will work later | 23:44 |
| Maddog | mhrnjad: thx! | 23:44 |
| Pici | donluigi: What exactly is the issue? | 23:44 |
| hanophix33 | Purp....does it work? | 23:44 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: it sounds like the wireless network wasn't beaconing, but I don't Eastern Michigan. How do you know they have a wireless network | 23:44 |
| khermans | Odd-rationale, what would you say if i told you a service might become available soon where you can sigup and scp files to have them converted for you? | 23:45 |
| donluigi | My computer is slower than it should. I really dont understand what the swap memory is for | 23:45 |
| angel_ | guys, i've googled for a good tutorial on adding a new harddrive to my ubuntu but have not found much. has anyone see one? | 23:45 |

| hanophix33 | Because they do, I know that for a fact. Used it when I was using Windows | 23:45 |
| Odd-rationale | khermans: Free? | 23:45 |

| jamiejackson | what's my best bet for importing from a cheapo camera that's not recognized as a usb drive in xubuntu? gtkam doesn't list it in their model selector, btw | 23:46 |
| eltux | OD810: hrm, I'm not shure now...... | 23:47 |
| Pici | donluigi: The swap is like the pagefile in windows. | 23:47 |
| donluigi | Pici: Pagefile? | 23:47 |
| wols | angel_: I never leave | 23:47 |
| mhrnjad | Maddog: http://luks.endorphin.org/dm-crypt | 23:47 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: I don't understand when you say "it" you are on a different wireless network using your wi adapter, but when you are at Eastern, you cannot see the SSID of the wireless network there. | 23:47 |
| Eyemean | odd-rationale one quick question pls, if in ie4 linux it asks to install shockwave, do i just press yes as normal? | 23:47 |
| OD810 | eltux: it's alright, thank you anyway | 23:47 |
| Johnny_5 | timewarner is gettin' kind of annoying...i like to use bittorrent, but i can only download for approx 20 min bfore they close my internet down and i have to restart my router in order to get back online...i wish there was a way around it... | 23:47 |
| Johnny_5 | oh well | 23:47 |
| Pici | donluigi: Think of it as using the hard-drive as additional ram. | 23:47 |
| angel_ | donluigi, pagefile or swap file is physical storage turned memory, aka virtual memory | 23:47 |
| eltux | OD810: sorry I wasn't more helpful :\ | 23:47 |
| Odd-rationale | Eyemean: On install or after install? | 23:47 |
| andruu | hey i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on my macbook pro, when i try and update it only looks on the install cd for packages, how do i point it to the web? | 23:47 |
| andruu | ... update apt-get that is* | 23:48 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: I guess i didnt understand your question. My wireless card works, well except for wpa. | 23:48 |
| donluigi | Pici: But i do have two ram cards installed one of 256 and another one of 512 | 23:48 |
| Fraser | Can anyone guide me in the right direction for installing a linux printer driver in a windows xp pro machine so that a ubuntu laptop can print to it over a network? Thanks | 23:48 |
| Eyemean | odd-rationale, after install, i just went to site and it wants to install it | 23:48 |
| donluigi | Pici: So i should have 768 in user memory, right? plus the swap | 23:48 |
| Pici | donluigi: It doesnt necessarily use it if your physical ram is used up, it makes the decision as to what is more efficient for the tasks its doing., | 23:48 |
| dox | Hi, i am using TV Out with my Nvidia Card but i have a problem, when i try to put VLC in fullscreen it allways 'fills up' the PC-TFT Monitor insteat if the TV-Monitor.... Is there some way to change this?! | 23:48 |
| Odd-rationale | Eyemean: Yes, just say yes. | 23:48 |
| Eyemean | ok cheers | 23:49 |
| khermans | djcabz, np dude | 23:49 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: I do not know what type of wireless network they are using whether it has seperate security or what | 23:49 |
| cafuego | Fraser: Installing a Linux driver in windows is 1) imporribl and 2) Won't make a Linux machine print to a printer on Windows. | 23:49 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz | 23:49 |
| Pici | donluigi: Have you taken a look at your cpu usage? perhaps something is using that up | 23:49 |
| OD810 | Fraser: are you using network printer? | 23:49 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: Do you remember what windows reported when you were using it in Windows. | 23:49 |
| cafuego | Fraser: What you need is to share the printer in XP, then add a Samba printer in the Print Admin dialog (You need to make samba installed) | 23:49 |

| djcabz | hanophix33: no, but from what you told me you were not seeing the SSID beacons under nix. which led me to believe that your wireless adapter was not working. brb | 23:51 |
| Fraser | On the windows machine, there is no samba option in the additional drivers options | 23:51 |
| RyanPrior | mike__: I'm glad that you're generally pleased, but the screen thing definitely sucks. Can you pastebin dmesg for me? | 23:51 |
| donluigi | Pici: Thanks, let me go through it | 23:51 |
| RyanPrior | !pastebin | 23:51 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 23:51 |

| easouken | my quickcam pro 9000 has not been working very well with the uvc drivers any tips? | 23:53 |
| donluigi | Pici: It looks ok. Nothing out of whack. Im sorry for being such a hard head.... but for what i understood, the 256 is my physical memory and the 756 is the hard drive turned into memory. The computer decides which to use depending on the task right? | 23:53 |
| angel__ | what is lvm? | 23:53 |
| XBehave | shadix: you need to add their repository and then sudo aptitude update | 23:54 |
| flamsmark | !lvm | 23:54 |
| ubotu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO | 23:54 |

| arizalord | how can i change my screen resolution? it doesn't appear in preferences!! | 23:54 |
| inertial | anyone had any luck using 1680x1050 resolution with an ATI graphics card? | 23:54 |
| angel__ | wols, ? | 23:54 |
| Johnny_5 | andruu: try software sources and make sure you have selections made uder the internet section. that'd be the first thing i'd check out | 23:54 |
| Pici | donluigi: Yes, how does the "Resources tab" look? Does it look correct for User memory x out of xx? and same for swap? | 23:54 |
| dox | XBehave i think i've tried all in that kind of tryouts :/ damn... -.- | 23:55 |
| OD810 | inertial: i've no luck | 23:55 |
| mike__ | Ryan: Yes. | 23:55 |

| calux | anyone can recommend me a good shooting game for linux? | 23:55 |
| acidfire2008 | can anyone help me when i try to mount my ntfs drive it says unable to mount drive and something like i need to force it or somehting | 23:55 |
| `Zmax` | Someone could help me? --> http://rafb.net/p/zDE30j33.html | 23:55 |
| RyanPrior | mike__: That is because the program is becoming momentarily unresponsive. The grayness is to tell you that the program has stalled, but the fact that it comes back means that the program is simply busy. | 23:55 |
| XBehave | shadix: if i recal correctly the repo doesnt cover the dependancies | 23:55 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: Well, let us see if I can help you, I may not be able to, but let's try. | 23:55 |
| acidfire2008 | it worked last time though | 23:55 |
| OD810 | calux: unreal tournament | 23:55 |
| inertial | OD810: same problem, and if i use the restricted drivers i get even lower res | 23:55 |
| donluigi | Pici: user memory 205.5 out of 248.9 and swap memory 136.5 out of 729.4 | 23:56 |
| Fraser | Is there anyway to install the latest windows live messenger using wine, The installer says it must be installed on a Windows Machine. I'm currently using Knope (or whatever) but i'd prefer the MS one? | 23:56 |
| jamiejackson | anybody know a better channel for asking about importing pictures from off-brand cameras (with no removable media)? | 23:56 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz....thanks! | 23:56 |
| RyanPrior | mike__: So, it's really nothing to worry about. If the greyness bothers you you can disable it, but I like it because it tells me when the program is busy. | 23:56 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: Have you ever connected to a wireless network using Ubuntu? | 23:56 |
| arizalord | OD810, how can i change my screen resolution? | 23:56 |
| Pici | donluigi: Sounds like your memory isnt getting detected properly, make sure that your BIOS sees it when you boot up. | 23:56 |
| Johnny_5 | calux: 1st person shooter? | 23:56 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: I am on a wireless network now | 23:56 |
| OD810 | arizalord: System -> Administration -> Screen & Graphics | 23:56 |
| donluigi | Pici: My question that still stands, is that i do have 768 in physical ram. one ram card of 256 and another one of 512. | 23:56 |
| charles87 | arizalord: look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:56 |
| tomas_ | how to I make ubuntu mount my hardisks at start? just at to /etc/fstab or ? | 23:57 |
| RyanPrior | mike__: If you've used Windows before, it's the equivalent of the hourglass cursor. | 23:57 |
| donluigi | lemme go ahead and try that... ill be back in a few minutes. | 23:57 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: I can see many wireless networks with my device | 23:57 |
| calux | thanxs OD810 | 23:57 |
| gyaresu | !fstab | tomas_ | 23:57 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: are you at the university? | 23:57 |
| ubotu | tomas_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 23:57 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: this particular one at school is a tricky one... | 23:57 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: I am at home | 23:57 |
| donluigi | Pici: Lemme go ahead and try that.... ill be back in a few minutes. thanks | 23:57 |
| arizalord | OD810, yes, but my optimal resolution does not appear! | 23:57 |
| tomas_ | gyaresu, thanks, but is there a UI app availabel? | 23:57 |
| mike__ | Ryan: It's not the grayness that bothers me. The whole machine freezes and I can't do anything till it comes back. | 23:57 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: did you see my description of the type? | 23:57 |
| Johnny_5 | calux: there's also nexius...its kinda like UT | 23:57 |
| wols | angel__: logical volume manager | 23:57 |

| OD810 | arizalord: i'm in that problem as well, are you using ATI card with restricted driver? | 23:58 |
| RyanPrior | mike__: Do you have enough memory and swap? | 23:58 |
| arizalord | OD810, yes! | 23:58 |
| calux | yes Johnny_5 | 23:58 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: no, I didn't catch that... I just saw wireless. | 23:58 |
| XBehave | Fraser: try winedq | 23:58 |
| gyaresu | tomas_: Sorry. I'm not much help with gui. Text files and command line no problem. | 23:58 |
| hanophix33 | Eastern Michigan University has a campus wide wireless network. It is a wireless network which requires a url redirect to login with a student ID from a specific webpage. When I was on campus today, testing Ubuntu's wireless capabilities, no wireless networks appeared. | 23:58 |
| OD810 | arizalord: I've been googling for days but couldnt get around it | 23:58 |
| tomas_ | haha okey thanks gyaresu :) | 23:58 |
| calux | ok, i will try nexius | 23:58 |
| Fraser | XBehave, ? | 23:58 |
| mike__ | I have 512 mem and 600MB swap | 23:58 |
| XBehave | *winedb the wine database covers what can/cant be installed | 23:58 |
| Fraser | XBehave, Oh ok, thanks | 23:59 |
| gyaresu | hanophix33: Did you try 'sudo iwlist eth1 scan' ? | 23:59 |
| angel__ | wols, how do i know if i have it? | 23:59 |
| calux | thanks a lot guys | 23:59 |
| RyanPrior | mike__: Are you running memory-intensive programs? | 23:59 |
| arizalord | charles87, yes, i've change it, and i wrote in monitor mode my resolution, but it doesn't run! | 23:59 |
| Fraser | XBehave, I didnt even think of checking there. | 23:59 |
| mike__ | Ryan: it's happened twice now during our conversation - everything dead for a few secs | 23:59 |
| yuhong | BTW, iwl3945 should be the default in next version of ubuntu, it does not require the restricted regulatory daemon like ipw3945 do. | 23:59 |
